I drove to Battle Creek and back that night, and put six quarts of oil through that engine. I found it was the back main bearing that was throwing oil, so I went back to using heavy oil again. One night a bunch of us were driving around somewhere near Hastings when the car hit some loose gravel and left the road. The ditch was quite deep and the wheels on the right side went into it. The car just laid over against the bank. We all got out and surveyed the situation. Then, as the rest of the crowd pushed the car up from the bank, I gave it the gas and pulled out of the ditch.

The blaze resulted in an estimated $45,000 uninsured loss of house and contents, and sent an occupant to Pennock Hospital for three days. Overcome by smoke was Larry Wallace of Hastings, a friend of the family who was visiting at the home while the Pufpaffs attended a Christmas gathering at the home of her parents, the Horace VanNockers of Lacey. Wallace said he heard a noise in the basement, and encountered an explosion when he went to investigate. Fleeing to a neighbor’s house to summons help, Wallace then returned to the burning Pufpaff dwelling to do what he could until firemen arrived, but was overcome by smoke inhalation. When the Nashville Fire Dept, arrived on the scene, an ambulance was called to take Wallace to Pennock Hospital, where he remained until Tuesday. Nashville firefighters were assisted by a tanker from the Hastings department, and remained on the scene from about 4:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Insurance on the Pufpaff dwelling had lapsed, so the loss was not covered, said a relative. The family, which includes two sons, ages 22 and 20, and a daughter, 11, are now residing with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Adrien Pufpaff of Nashville. In addition to the house and contents, Pufpaff lost a gun collection which just “melted down”, according to his mother. Larry Decker, assistant Nashville fire chief, said Pufpaff valued the collection of firearms at $6,000. Decker said cause of the fire has not been determined and it remains under investigation. 1982 GMC V2 TON: 6 cyl., 3 speed, power steering, 30,000 miles, $5,995. 374-8811 dealer.

The troop soon discovered that Weatherman Bill Steffen and the station’s owner were both former Eagle Scouts. The scouts ate lunch at McDonalds and then proceeded on to the West Michigan Shores Council Office where they were given a tour by Don Nelson, Assistant Council Executive. The boys were especially interested in the new museum room, and at the Trading Post they were able to purchase „ scouting literature and supplies. Ed Boldrey, Scoutmaster, and Leonard ?. Eaton,.

Certainly days do mark a difference in our lives and surely years do the same. As I type this, the weather has scarcely reached zero temperature for several days. In our area the wind chill has been as low as a minus 40 degrees. Some winter huh? But remember a year ago on Christmas day when the temperature stood at over 60. The day after it was a little cooler but very, very nice. It was do balmy in fact that Jerry White and I were chasing each other around Centennial Acres with golf clubs. Lest anyone get a false impression I hasten to add that we were not indulging in a feud. We are good friends and neigh­ bors and what we were up to was golf. At least Jerry was golfing and I was trying to! Now would you believe that I saw Jerry in Church Christmas day and he never said a word about a golfing tomorrow. To tell the truth I did not suggest it either. Remember the weather experts who a year ago were saying that we were in for warmer and warmer winters and someday Michigan would be like Florida? It was something about the ozone layer being changed they explained and the rays of the sun were coming through without this barrier and thus heating up the world. I have been told that many of these would-be experts of a year ago have only recently committed hari kari or taken up voluntary exile in Siberia. • Now we have a new crop of weather prophets that are glumly predicting that the USA will get colder and colder each winter andthis area will come to resemble the North Pole. It all has to do with the same ozone layer and stationary air masses coming out of Canada. This talk all tends to* confuse me but there is one thing I do understand per­ fectly — it is COLD! The extreme cold that grips our nation is causing a great deal of suffering. Fuel budgets will be stretched to the breaking point and well beyond. It is a time when we all need to be friends and neighbors as never before and to be one the alert for those who may need our help. Perhaps this is a period in which we ought to take stock of our own helplessness in being able to control nature. There are those who say that someone is trying to tell us something. It’s just a thought. My fervent wish for 1984 is for peace among nations. This wish will become the more valid if people can establish peace with one another.

The con­ tribution represented proceeds of a December 3 bake sale conducted by the WLC as a library benefit. Linda Boldrey, WLC president, made the presentation Friday to Nita Brown, treasurer of the library board. That con­ tribution, along with another sizeable donation received last week from Don and Jeanette Joseph of Carl’s Market in memory of former employee Anna Marshall, brings the library building fund to $21,270 — about 43 percent of the $50,000 goal to add to a Children’s Wing to the present facility on North Main Street. The proposed room would be attached to the rear of the red brick Italianate struc­ ture built in the winter of 1884-85 as the home of Charles and Agnes Putnam — and willed upon their deaths to the village for use as a public library, which opened in September 1923. The Woman’s Literary Club, dating back to 1902 and Nashville’s oldest con­ tinuously active organization still based in the village, played an important role in establishment of the library. In January 1923, the WLC sought and was granted authority by the Nashville Village Council to convert the Putnam bequest into an active library. In the past 60 years, the A $100 bill was added to the Putnam Public Library Building Fund last week by the Nashville Women's Literary Club from proceeds of a pre-Christmas bake sale. At the presentation were, from left, Olith Hamilton, WLC vice-president; Nita Brown, library board treasurer, accepting the donation from WLC President Linda Boldrey and Gretchen Pixley, WLC treasurer. The fund now stands at about 43 percent of a $50,000 goal to add a Children's Wing to the present library facility.

It is now governed by a library board of representatives appointed by the village and supporting townships of Castleton and Maple Grove. It also serves Assyria Township by con­ tract. Starting with a nucleus of 300 volumes in the personal library of the Charles Put­ nams, the WLC within a year increased the number of books available for cir- present. The $21,270 total of the building fund includes an $8,383 federal grant ap­ propriation earmarked by the village for library im­ provements. All other monies came from private donations by individuals, groups and organizations. Contributions to the fund may be made at the library or sent to Post Office Box C, Nashville, 49073. Names of donors and those designated in memorials will be in­ scribed on scrolls to be displayed in the new ad­ dition.

Today, nearly 10 times that amount are on the shelves at Putnam Public Library — and quarters are becoming a bit cramped. The proposed Children’s Wing is expected to relieve that situation. The addition will be designed to coor­ dinate with historical preservations guidelines that govern alterations to buildings designated as State Historical Sites — an honor bestowed upon the library facility in 1982. A doberman pinscher who has been trained to assist his hearing-impaired owner will be featured in a presentation next Monday evening for the Nashville Lions Club. The dog, its owner, and its trainer will appear at a dinner meeting of the Lions tostart at 7 p.m., January 16, at the United Methodist Community House. Wives and guests of the Lions also will be in attendance. A demonstration of the dog’s skills will commence about 8 p.m., and the public is welcome to attend the program.

VOGT FUNERAL HOME IN NASHVILLE PHONE 852-0840 By Susan Hinckley installment of GuyHoowell’s recollections of hft Naashville boyhood, we rq| ^/ ^/photo showing young Guy “with an unidentified group.’’ of Michigan cous is at an about-1920 reun in. Howell hoped that some our readers might be able to come up with names for the faces. One who did is Elizabeth (Gibson) Lynch of Nashville, as she recognized herself in the picture. Although she cannot remember the exact oc­ casion for the gathering, Mrs. Lynch is sure that she is the young girl in a dark dress standing directly behind Guy (the lad standing in front of the group). In addition, Mrs. Lynch believes she can identify two other persons in the picture. The woman who is directly behind Elizabeth, and whose face is partially obscured, is Lena Mead, concluded Mrs. Lynch, and standing beside Lena is her brother John. (He is second from right in the back row.) The relationship between Elizabeth Gibson and Guy Howell is through the Burgess family: his parental grandmother was Laura Jean Burgess before her marriage, and Liz’s Grand­ mother Gibson was a Burgess. Perhaps we will hear from other readers who can complete identification of the photo for us. We would also be interested in learning more about the later whereabouts of John and Lena Mead. James Mater of rural Nashville is recovering at home from cornea surgery, December 23, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Rapids. His convalescence will take about six weeks, and it will be a year before it is known if the operation is successful, said relatives. What was planned as a New Year’s Eve gathering at the Mead-O-Acres home of Janet and George Ward, recently of Texas, turned out to be a surprise party in honor of their 25th wedding anniversary. The “un­ dercover” preparations for the event were engineered by their children, Quentin and Cinda Ward, who have been visiting here from their home in Arlington, Texas, and Mardi Pontius of Lan­ sing. The young people called invited guests to “clue” them in on the sur­ prise. The Wards actually will mark their anniversary on Valentine’s Day, February 14, but since they are in the process of relocating in Portland, Oregon, this proved to be an ideal time for < the celebration. Guests were present from Middleville, Belding, Vermontville, Lansing, Nashville, and Texas. Clarence and Margaret Reid of Nashville were Christmas Eve guests of the Jerry Reids of Vermontville. On Christmas Day, they visited the Arden . Reids of Nashville for early gift opening then went to Ver­ montville for breakfast with the Vernon Reid family at their home. After attending church, they had dinner with the Darrel Reids of rural Kalamo, and supper at the Vaughn Reids, local. The Clarence Reid family held their Christmas on New Year’s Day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arden Reid of Nashville with 33 present, including the Darwin Reids of Cadillac; the Vernon Reids and Jerry Reid family, all of Vermontville; the Darrel Reids of Kalamo; Vere and Olive Robinson of Bellevue; Arden Reid, the Vaughn Reids, and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reid, all of Nashville. Congratulations to Steven and Debra Graham of Nash­ ville on the birth December 30 of a 9 lb. 3 oz. son. The young lad has been named Jason Ryan and was welcomed home by brothers Derek and Shawn. Paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Graham of Nashville. Grandparents on the maternal side are Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sumption of Olivet. Canisters are in place at Carl’s Market to benefit Harold and Judy Puf paff and family who lost their home on Scott Road, about four miles west of Nashville, in a devastating Christmas Eve fire. The Pufpaffs lost all of their belongings along with the residence, on which it was first said insurance had lapsed. Now, however, relatives report that there may be a settlement made. Pufpaff has only part-time employment at a com­ pressor repair firm in Grand Rapids. Mrs. Pufpaff works at Provincial House, Inc. in Hastings. An overflow of clothing has been donated to the family, which includes sons ages 22 and 20 and a daughter, 11. All are living temporarily with Harold's parents, Adrien and Robie Pufpaff of Nashville. Mrs. Olith Hamilton of Nashville enjoyed holiday visits with both of her children starting with Thanksgiving week, which she spent with daughter and family, Sandra and Charles Turner and sons Paul and David, of Fairfax, Virginia. While there, she joined in an early “mini-Christmas” celebration. For two weeks over the Yule holiday, Mrs. Hamilton was at Yorba Linda, Calif, to see her son Fred and his wife and their children, Maria and Fred, Jr. On the flight west, she encountered many delays due to winter storms. Mrs. Hamilton returned home last week, and at about the same time her son Fred, who is an aviator and test pilot em­ ployed by the McDonnellDouglas Corp., left for a business trip to Montreal, Canada, and then to England, in connection with promotion of an aircraft simulator. Fred is a former local resident and 1955 graduate of Nashville High School. The latest contributions to the Putnam Public Library Building Fund came last week from Don and Jeanette Joseph in memory of Anna Marshall and from the Nash­ ville Woman’s Literary Club. (Details on the current standing appear in a story elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News.)

Originally, the plates were issued in sets of four - each depicting a different scene from the Revoluntionary War era: The Seeds are Sown; Independence is Declared; A Test of Courage; and Liberty is Proclaimed. The plates Mrs. Garlinger will donate are the second scene in white glass and an antique power blue version of scene four. No two of the handmade plates are alike, since cer­ tain lines, variations of color and texture, and the flow of glass and depth of the cut create distinctive dif­ ferences and an individually inherent in each and every piece.

The very first Memories of the Past column was published in 1978, and was a far cry from today’s nearly full-page offerings. That initial story on Joe Hurd’s Ford garage featured only one photo and nine short paragraphs, including a plea for reader help to keep the series going. The response has been overwhelming. In the past five years, over 260 Memories columns have been published. By our account, we have written stories on over 150 distinctly different topics. In addition, we have compiled numerous columns based on “Ancient History” items published in The Nashville News (forerunner of the Maple Valley News). And, of course, during the past five years several “guest columnists” have contributed their own per­ sonal written recollections for publication. Among those scribes have been Guy Howell, Keith Mead, Edythe Nashville Michigan (Hicks) Klinkner, L. Day Slout, Myrtle (Marshall) Donovan, and the late Howard Brumm. We are always looking for new ideas and old photos to help us portray Nashville’s intriguing history. To give you an idea of the wide range of people, places and events that we have already covered in Memories stories since 1978, we compiled a few lists. Scanning them, even we were amazed! It is small wonder that each week presents a brand new challenge to find a fresh subject for Memories of the Past. Biographical pieces have been done on a good number of early Nashville residents: livery stable owner and student confidant, Flora “Ma” Taylor; 50-year grocer Colin T. Munro; musician Hi Walrath; cafe owner Mary White; school superintendent C. S. Har­ mon; young hero Irving Boston; doctors E. T. Morris and C. K. Brown; in­ dustrialists A. C. Buxton, Issac Kellogg, and Jacob Lentz; benefactor Charles Putnam; good neighbors to all, Caroline “Grandma” Appelman and Banty Cramer; handyman Porter Kinne; daredevil aviator Claude Greenfield; jitney bus driver Roy Wolf; politician Henry Glasner; teacher Florence Grohe; news columnist Fern Cross and correspondent Ella Taylor; Nashville News founder Orno Strong and later owner Len Feighner; erstwhile second-hand merchant Fred Baker; noted Indian chief Asquesah; village engineer Frank Russell; and village president Emory Parady, who helped capture Lin­ coln’s assassin as a young soldier. Our Memories stories also have traced numerous early local businesses in addition to Hurd’s garage: the Lentz Table Factory; Furniss drug store; Citizens’ Telephone Company; Appelman’s grocery; Farmers’ Cooperative Creamery; Kellogg planing mill; Glasgow hardware; Hanneman’s dry goods store; Eddy’s White Rose station; the Dixie station; North End garage; Michigan Central Railroad as it ran through Nashville; the Boston brick yard; Try-Me Bottling Works; Evert’s meat market; Culp’s bakery; Staup’s barbershop; Cole’s Thornapple Lake resort; and, of course, The Nashville News. Early local events cap­ tured in Memories accounts include a number of Harvest Festivals over the years; New Year’s Eve watches; celebrations of the 4th of July, Labor Day, Halloween, Decoration Day, the first Armistice Day, Thanksgiving, and com­ munity and family Christ­ mas gatherings plus such news-making events as Teddy Roosevelt’s 1911 visit Nashville's varied and colorful past has been captured ptured in five years of Memories columns. Scores of stories about local people, places and events dating as far back as the mid-1800s have been recounted in The very first Memories of the Past column published by the Maple Valley News on December 6, 1978, featured this 1916 photo of (from left) J. C. Hurd, Ralph Olin and Merrill Hinckley in front of Hurd’s Ford garage on South Main Street. That initial story helped launch the weekly Memories column which has been sustained through reader interest and input. to Nashville; the 1920 killer tornado in Maple Grove Township; and VJ Day, 1945. Local organizations have had their roots traced in Memories accounts: the Woman’s Literary Club; Masonic Lodge; the Home Guard; Cloverleaf Class; Chamber of Commerce; NE Castleton Birthday Circle; and an ealry art group. The founding and growth of the Nashville Fire Dept, have been detailed in several Memories articles. Occupations and trades of early local residents have provided interesting topics for the Memories series. Among those covered have been plumbers, blacksmiths, sheep shearers, steam threshing crews, ice har­ vesters, maple syrup and sugar-makers, loggers, photographers, cidermakers, wool buyers, street sprinklers, fishermen and news correspondents. The histories of a number of Nashville buildings and sites in the local community have been featured as Memories pieces. On that list are Putnam and Central parks; the Gribben Block; the Wolcott House hotel; Meade Centennial farm; Liebhauser’s round barn; the old grist mill; the opera house; Putnam home­ library; the old and new Thornapple River bridges as Well as the waterway itself; and the special lore of State Street. Churches in the com­ munity have also had their share of historical coverage, with research disclosing facts about the sanctuaries as well as the formation of the various congregations: Evangelical, Methodist, Catholic, Baptist, Advent Christian, and the Barryville Church. One of the perennially favorite Memories topics is anything to do with early school days in the com­ munity. Rural districts on which we have written pieces are the earliest Maple Grove Township schools, plus Quailtrap, McKelvey and Beigh; in addition to Castleton Center, Feighner, Hosmer, Moore, and Branch schools. Other articles have cen­ tered around Nashville’s early educational facilities and activities: the Union School, burned and rebuilt in 1902, the difficulty of early rural students getting to high school in town; the first graduating class of 1887, and wee k < fe°ture- Old Photos have been an mpor189of £ th® senes: t £ th®.senes,: this wonaete wr atosw senra ipnp wedhaint ntohwe PptheL° d standP‘ Pe water tower in what now is rutnam Park is rutnam Park. 189of is8p?.fnn other graduations featuring the classes of 1907 and 1931; the high school faculty of 1908-09; a class play in 1917; special focusing at various times on the classes of 1919, 1920 and 1925; the traditional Junior-Senior hunt; articles based on the Informant, the school newspaper of the 1930s; alumni banquets and reunions; and the evolvement of a Nashville school song. Sports stories, tying in closely with school topics, also have been popular fare. These have included closeups on individual early football teams, etc., and stretched forward to a story on the building of the Fuller Street athletic field in the 1950s. Community sports ac­ tivities recounted in Memories pieces have in­ cluded such diverse subjects as early billiard halls, swimming in the Thornapple River, deer hunting, and baseball as played by various village teams of days gone by. There are a number of other Memories columns that fall into a general category of “miscellaneous”, which have entertained readers these past five years. They include such topics as the origin and naming of Nash­ ville; arrival in the village of the first auto, the first phones and electricity; early village finances and or­ dinances; local effects of the Great Depression; Prohibition and local option; the 1880 presidential elec­ tion; Nashville’s role in the Spanish-American War; tragedies linked to the Putnam home-library; the grave robbery trial and conviction of Dr. Goucher; early Nashville inventors; turn of the century attire; the vagaries of weather from bone-chilling winters to dog days of summer; the paving of Main Street in 1917; the perils of runaway horses and other hazards of early transportation; local at­ tendance at county fairs; a couple of store-by-store shopping guides to Nashville for Christmas seasons of the 1920s-’30s; and traditional family reunions of that era. Then there was the photo story depicting the village through early post cards of its residential streets, and another look at our com­ munity as one of 15 Nashvilles in the nation. No doubt about it, of that number, Nashville, Michigan ranks first in the hearts of our readers who �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, January 10, 1984 — PageS Corn and Forage Day planned for January 28 Q iQ **»£" *& *?x ?ki»ki»LxL • S Si »t 3 *•»*-t s* Jrnl ’tWrijnj is Rs *14s„.. kiftntt *»S ! 5t5£jj ^Wb s •’•ertt 1 i » tan aa faWk®!; SMSH^ taSk •»«* ••tan. ‘ Kte 1 ataI a ftas. tarn® arn® tiitss tt® fanigb Mgkhii lituhUi lattad taapta fa, tebi 6W» tatMup !

This event is free of charge and open to all in­ terested persons. Programs and registration forms are available in all three county Extension offices and ,in many ag related businesses. This major program is ex­ pected to attract over 500 participants. According to Roger A. Betz, Extension Agricultural Agent and Mona J. Ellard Extension Home Economist, the program has valuable sessions for the “farm team”, husband and wife. New this year in addition to the traditional crop production topics is a spouse’s program, “The Best You Can Be.” This includes a morning session “Look and Feel Your Best” and an afternoon session of “Herb Harvest”. Afternoon workshops are available in Basic Bookkeeping, Microwave Magic, Energy Saving Window Treatments, Qqick and Fast Meals from Farm to Field, and Com­ munication in Families. Ellard is coordinating the spouse program. Dave Merck, Barry County Agricultural Agent andag program coordinator, notes that the Com and Forage programs include recognized experts from Purdue University and Michigan State University. The morning session on corn production will include economics of corn produc­ tion, weed and insect control, a total corn production system, and managing soil with conservation tillage looking at fertility and compaction. Dinner is provided free at noon by donations from the 30-50 commercial exhibitors expected. Pre-registration is required or a meal may not be available. ।The afternoon sessions, according to Betz, feature three special programs: Corn marketing, Forages, and Micr-computers. The com marketing session will figure 1984 corn production and storage costs, demon­ strate how to use com­ puterized marketing in­ formation, and plan the best 1984 corn marketing strategies. The afternoon forage session will feature how to increase alfalfa yields, storing forages to preserve quality, and the economics of producing alfalfa for feed on the cash market. The micro-computer session, according to Ron Stevens, Lakewood Vo-Ag Instructor, is open to 20 participants on a first-come basis with pre-registration. The session will feature hands-on micro-computer exercises for farm use with participants of beginning level ability. More in­ formation may be obtained from the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service office, 543-2310.

Local Health Departments handle 3 services for crippled children The Crippled Children Program rogram has as cange changed as oof Jan. 1 to locally based services through the local health departments. The goal of the Program has always been to achieve the fullest potential for each handicapped child in Michigan. It is hoped that this change will remove the barriers to appropriate health care and provide the vital link between Division of Services to Crippled Children staff, in the Regional office, the local Community and the child’s family in assuring that handicapped children will recieve the services they need. These children number approximately 169 in Eaton County and 51 in Barry County. Services of Division of Crippled Children include: Program Representation, Family Assessment, Case Community invited to ‘Friends of Library Coffee Hour by Susan Hinckley The last community coffee hour to be sponsored by the Nashville Friends of the Library is set for Thursday, Jan. 12, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at the Community Center building in Putnam Park. All FOL members are urged to attend, as this will be an important organizational meeting. As in the past, the event is also open to the general public. Children accompanied by parents are welcome; Friends of the Library have undertaken many projects to help maintain and promote Putnam Public Library. Among them are such things as conducting the summer story hour for children; holding baked goods and used book sales to raise money for the library building fund; paying for periodical subscription for the library; and sponsoring the well-received sign' language program staged by a student group from Lan­ sing Community College. To continue such projects, Friends of the Library need people to take responsibility for its established programs and events. Plan now to attend the coffee hour morning.

AU had tiny brains. Dinosaurs, meaning literally “terrible lizards” were of the reptile family, hatched from eggs, and were believed to have lifespans exceeding 100 years. Some of the more immense dinosaurs measured 90 feet from top of head to top of whip-like tail; others were tall enough to stand on their hind feet and look into what today would be two-or threestory buildings. One of the largest - the Brontosaurus, said A.ckett, weighed as much as six elephants and had legs as thick as tree trunks. Another, the Trachodon, had 2,000 teeth in his duck-bill shaped jaws. “How would you like to have run into him?” laughs Ackett. Many factors including changes of environment affecting food supplies, development of the moreintelligent mammal family, and disease, contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs, say scientists. Ackett, a Nashville native and longtime rock coUector, has an extensive fossil exhibit which he shows at public displays or shares with visitors to his home at 623 Reed Street. The NashviUe Good Food Co-op currently has openings available for memberships. The Food Co-op, which began three year^ago, is a member of the Michigan Federation of Food Co-ops which is headquartered in Ann Arbor.

(Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) HkJe.1 by Susan Hinckley Dinosaurs have been extinct for some 65 million years, but Nashville rock hound Fred Ackett recently unearthed a remnant of one of the monstrous creatures in the local area. While pursuing one of his favorite pastimes - digging in gravel pits - Ackett found a strange-looking relic on the George Cogswell property on the north side of Thornapple Lake. Further research and a trip to Kingman Museum of Natural History in Battle Creek disclosed that Ackett’s find is a fossilized “toe” of a dinosaur. Measuring about two in­ ches sqaure, the fossil is though to be a portion of the foot of a young dinosaur. Ackett says that the staff at Kingman Museum is amazed at the number and variety of relics he finds in this area. He shares most of his unusual discoveries with them.

Nashville. Tuesday. January 10. 1984 — Page 8 How to save dollars on your farm pesticides by Allen P. Krizek. County Ext. Director As farmers put together their cropping program for 1984. some tips on saving money on farm pesticides may be helpful. Plan to buy early, if possible. Pesticides increase in cost from October through June at a rate of about one and one-half percent per month or equivalent to the cost of credit. The smallest price increase occurs bet­ ween December and March and the largest in the use­ season. During March. April and May. prices may jump as much as five percent per month. Therefore, try not to buy in the use-season. Plan ahead for your total chemical needs, remembering things like speader-stickers, her­ bicide-oils, post emergence materials, and the like. Also by planning ahead you have the advantage of shopping for price. Check the price of dif­ ferent formulations, con­ verting these to a cost-peracre basis. Generally you pay more for pre-mixed and liquid products than you would for wettable powders. Also look at different pesticides that may do the same job at a lower cost per acre than the “old stand by.” Look for private label pesticides on those that have lost their patent and are manfactured by several companies. Examples in­ clude: atrazine, linuron, simazine, diazinon, and others. Cash payments can often wield power in cutting posted prices, especially in February or March when companies are anxious for cash flow. Often a good buy can be made at this time, even with extended payment terms, if immediate delivery can be made. Warehouse space is often limited at this time. Finally, plan to pay your bills on time. Service charges can add up to a large and unnecessary cost. Vermontville news by Ava Kroger Sports Lion eagers continue lead The varsity Lions dropped a non-league contest against Potterville on Tuesday night but remained unbeaten in league play (3-0) by defeating Olivet on Friday. Potterville came to Maple Valley on Tuesday to play the first game after Christmas break and sur­ prised the Lions with their shooting ability. The Lions were able to make only 33 percent of their field goals which helped to account for their 31-20 half-time deficit. The Vikings were ahead throughout the entire game, leading by as many as 22 points before MV was able to whittle the lead down to the final 58-45. Greg Lenz and Jeff Starring led Lion scorers with eight points each. Marty Martin, Jeff Hamilton and Gary Reid each contributed six points. When the Lions traveled to Olivet, they knew they would need a better performance than the one they turned in on Tuesday to win. They took control of the first quarter, 14-12, and built the ad­ vantage to a five point lead before letting the Eagles score 10 unanswered points and a 37-27 half-time lead. The Lions lost ground at the charity stripe in the second period, hitting only 5 of 14 attempts, but free throws finally won the game for Valley in the second half.

Castro had decreed that Religious Worship was counterrevoluntionery. Twenty-one years later in October of 198Z he was released and “kicked out of Cuba”. In his imprisonment he was starved, beaten, and tortured. Not long ago I talked to a co-worker, who is “grossly” misinformed, who said that life in a communist society is not as bad as we have been led to believe. I tried to convey to him about the communists total disregard for Human Rights, and like in Cuba and other Com­ munist countries that religious freedom is out. Then, I read, in our own United States, in Louisville, Neb., seven fathers are, right this minute in jail because of their religious stand “which is supported by God’s Word and our con­ stitution. ’’But the state of Nebraska apparently feels that religious freedom is as Castro says “counterrevolutionery”! The state of Nebraska has warrants out for the Pastor of “Faith Baptist Church” in Louisville, Nebrasks, and for the wives of those seven men, then they intend to make their children wards of the courts.

Relocation of the bar was included in Thursday’s council approval a required step for sanction of the transfer by the state Liquor Control Commission. Sgt. Gene Koetje, acting Nashville police chief, said that a background check he conducted on Hiser, as required by law, showed that “there is no reason to deny” the transfer application.

(Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) said Hister is highly regarded by Charlotte and Eaton County officials with whom he checked. In other business Thursday, the council rescinded a resolution made on Aug. 11, 1983 to assume responsibility for potential freeze-up of a lateral service line which was to connect the William Moon home at 609 Grant Street to the municipal sewer system. The unprecendented August move was taken after some council members said that the shallowness of the main collection line-only four feet deep at that point necessitated an even lesser depth for the Moon’s lateral line, putting it well above the frost level. At that time, some council members blamed the problem on poor engineering on that portion ofNashville’s new $4.8 million sewer system expansion. Thursday’s revoking of the August offer, said President John Hughes, was due to failure of the Moons to ac­ cept it. He reported on lengthy meetings and con­ versations with the Moons and their attorney, David Dimmers of Hastings, and said he had been unable to get an agreemept. Thursday, Hughes brought to the meeting the Moons latest request: that the council deed to them a village-owned parcel of land in exchange for village liability on the lateral line. The property in con­ sideration consists of por­ tions of abandonded roads and alleyways which con­ verge adjacent to the Moon property in the Staley Addition. The council discussed but did not seriously consider the latest Moon proposal, and instead took action to revoke the August offer. The lateral line from the collection main to the Moon home has not yet been laid, said Hughes. In other action related to the sewer project, Village Clerk Susan Corkwell reported on several pending suits against property owners who have either failed to comply with manadatory hookups to the system or not met their financial obligation for connection costs and-or service. On a motion by Trustee Richard Chaffee the council approved a stipulation that those property owners who are delinquent in paying for the hookups must bring the accounts to date and con­ tinue making monthly payments as arranged in the original agreements. Trustee Gerald Kent was the lone dissenter on the issue, as he pushed for demanding payment in full of the delinquent accounts. “We (the village) have met our obligation,” said Kent. “They have not met theirs. They have violated their committment.” Village officials said Thursday that suits now pending in court against deliquent sewer customers will proceed regardless of efforts to pay the amount in arrears. They explained that this was due to the expense of court costs which will be paid by the defendent if judgement is granted, but which will have to be borne by the village if the suits are dropped. Village Clerk Susan Cork­ well also noted that judgements would allow the village to garnishee wages in case of future default by the defendents. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: -Heard a report by Bruce Kuffer of Williams & Works engineering firm of Grand Rapids, that construction of three underground sampling drains at Nashville’s wastewater treatment site on Brumm Road is expected to commence in about two weeks - weather permitting and should be completed in about 30 days after start-up. The $18,500 contract to build the drains designed to facilitate state-required testing of water in the sewer lagoons was awarded to Larry Daniels of Lake Odessa, one of three bidders on the project financed by a federal grant from Farmers Home Administration. -Discussed the problem of snow removal from the municipal parking lot and from curbs alofig Main Street in the business district, plus proposed use of a village-owned belt-driven snowblower to clear all sidewalks in town. Sgt. Gene Koetje said he is concerned about the number of school children who have been walking in village streets because of uncleared sidewalks in residential areas, and fears the village would be held liable in case of an accident. Koetje proposed that property owners be charged a minimal annual fee for sidewalk snow removal by the village.

Theaddedbonus of a sunny sky made Sunday exceptionally bright, crisp and clear. We had two calls last week offering further information on former local residents Lena Mead and her brother, John, who were pictured in a recent Memories of the Past installment by Guy W. Howell of Tucson, Arizona. Elizabeth (Gibson) Lynch of Nashville, who had initially called us to identify John and Lena along with herself in the about-1920 photo, phoned again to say that John Mead has been dead a number of years and Lena Mead Saline now lives at Prescott, Ariz. with her sister, Glenna Averback. Two other Mead sisters, Lurah Gaskill and Effy Purdy, both live near Detroit. The second call last week came from Lawrence Gray of Charlotte — a dedicated Memories “fan*’ who has helped us in the past by furnishing photos for several stories, including the 1920 tornado in Maple Grove Township. He remembers the Mead family well, as he was close friends of them even after they moved to the Detroit area, since he also lived there for a time. Mr. Gray said that John Mead was a pharmacist in Detroit for a number of years before his death. The photo of the Meads, Elizabeth Gibson, and young Guy Howell pictured some sort of family gathering which the latter could. not recall. He had asked for reader help in identification of his “Michigan cousins” in the photo. Death last week claimed two former Nashville residents: Gary Lee Price, Jr., 13, of Dunlap, Ill., and Mrs. Harry (Eunice Mead) Rizor, 88, of Hastings. Another death of local note was that of Donald “Tip” Hill of Nashville, who had been residing in Hastings at the time of his passing. Tip was well-known in Nashville as he was a retired auto mechanic who had operated garages in Nashville for a quarter of a century. In his retirement years, he was a familiar figure as he drove about town or parked on Main"Street in his auto. He probably knew more about what was happening in the village, especially on Main Street, than most any other Nashville resident. In more than one instance, Tip’s presence on Main Street proved a valuable asset to local businessmen and of­ ficials. The community extends condolences to the families in the losses of these three individuals.

Billy Graham featured in film on the family to be shown Renowned evangelist Billy Graham is the featured speaker in “Crisis in the Home”, a motion picture that addresses the problems faced by many contemporary families. The film, produced by World Wide Pictures, is scheduled to be shown at Nashville Assembly of God, 735 Reed St., Nashville, on Sunday, Jan. 22. The presentation is open to the public free of charge, and will begin at 11 a.m. For years, Dr. Graham has given much attention to the rising divorce rate and the deterioration of family relationships. Nearly all of his crusades include at least one message on the family; and according to his staff, the meetings at which he speaks on the family draw the largest crowds. In “Crisis in the Home”, Graham offers six keys to a happy home and a successful marriage, based on the teachings of the Bible. Also featured in the film is Dr. James Dobson, a leading Christian family counselor who is the author of several bestselling books, including “Hide or Seek”, “Dare to Discipline”, “The StrongWilled Child”, and “Straight Talk to Men and their Wives”. Dr. Dobson and his wife, Shirley, are interviewed by Cliff Barrows, Billy Graham’s long-time associate. They share candid observations about the state of family life today, and submit suggestions on how meaningful communication can be restored. Additional highlights of the lm /are a film visual “storybook” illustrating the popular Harry Chapin song, “Cat in the Cradle”, and a performance by recording artist Johnny Hall. The Reverend Robert Taylor, pastor of Nashville Assembly of God, extends a cordial invitation to all families to attend this special showing of “Crisis in the Home”. Fleetham named co-chairman of search committee to replace mental health director— Edgar Fleetham, EatonCounty Commissioner who represents the Vermontville and Sunfield areas, has been named co-chairman of a search committee to find a replacement for Thomas Ennis who recently resigned as executive director of Community Mental Health which serves Eaton, Clinton, and Ingham counties. Ennis has accepted a position as director of the National Alzheimer’s Disease Foundation in Chicago. “Mr. Ennis will be most difficult to replace, said Fleetham, a long term member of the mental health board of directors and a former chairman of the board. Community Mental Health has programs for the mentally ill, mentally handicapped, emotionally disturbed children n and substance abuse. It has a growing program of com­ munity placement as the alternative to being in? stitutionalized in state facilities, Fleetham said. Mrs. Lenora Graham of Bellevue was a Sunday caller on Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville. Mrs. Ruby Ball of Nash­ ville and her granddaughter, Cindy Metz, who resides with her, enjoyed an” extended holiday visit with the latter’s parents and family, Roger and Elaine Metz and children, at Mesa, Arizona. Mrs. Ball and Cindy flew from Grand Rapids on December 18 and returned home January 5. They were at the Metz home on Christmas Day, when temperatures reached 70. Most daytime temps ranged from 55 to 78 degrees, reports Mrs. Ball, with nighttime readings in the 30s. The family enjoyed a trip to Tucson and also to Superstition Mountain, which included a six-mile roundtrip hike since Ruby insisted on “touching the mountain”. While in Arizona, she visited former local residents Irene and Ellis Bloom at Apache Junction, and reports that his health is very poor. Also while there, Mrs. Ball visited her aunt and uncle, Doris and Avery Lindley. Before returning home, the Michigan guests helped Elaine Metz/ celebrate her birthday on January 2, and she enjoyed having her mother and daughter there to join in the occasion. En route home on a night flight, the travelers encountered a four-hour layover at St. Paul, Minnesota, since a delay on the flight from Arizona caused them to miss their plane connection to St. Paul by five minutes, but they were delighted with the beautiful night views from the air.

Scouting on the rise in Western Michigan area The West Michigan Shores Council, Boy Scouts of America reports that scouting’s youth mem­ bership in western Michigan as of December 31, 1983 has risen to 11,949, a 1.5 percent increase over yearend 1982. Additionally, some 68 new organizations joined the council’s 448 chartered partners, which teach the scouting principles of citizenship training, character development and physical fitness. According to Council Vice President of Membership­ Relations Charles Kramsvogel of Grand Rapids, Tiger Cubs, the newest B.S.A. program for seven­ year-old boys and their adult companion, and Exploring, the young co-ed adult division for ages 14-20, were the largest growth phases. However, the combined Cub Scout (for boys 8-10) and Boy Scout (for boys 11-17) membership of 10,433 still represents the lions share of the scouting program. Council Commissioner William F.

At any rate, modernization of Nashville’s Main Street apparently commenced in 1901 — and along with the urbanity added a measure of safety. As Woodard and his men laid the new walks, memories may have focused on a narrowly averted tragedy of just seven summers before. The startling event of 1894 was chronicled by The News with a headline shouting: “Shocking Disaster — Falling Sidewalk Precipitates Thirty People into a Cellar — A Number of Women are Seriously In­ jured”. The story told of the collapse of an early wood sidewalk in front of Kleinhans’ dry goods store (present-day site of Quality Pawn Shop, just north of the pharmacy). Details of the mishap, as recorded by The News, follow: “The worst accident in the history ofNashville occurred last Saturday afternoon about four o’clock. The streets were thronged with “All of the physicians in town were speedily on hand and everything possible was done for the unfortunate victims of the accident. Another peculiar thing is that of all the little folks who went down in the crash, not one was injured except a slight scratch or bruise. “So far as we have been able to learn, twenty-six people went into the cellar while probably nearly as many more saved them­ selves by jumping off the falling walk, and many only fell part way, catching the walls at the side and clambering out. “Those whose names we have learned are: Mrs. Albert Mix, Mrs. Francis Showalter, Mrs. D. G. Cassell, Mrs. William Moore, Mrs. F. A. Sprague, Mrs. William Feighner and little son, Mrs. John Bahl, Mrs. Gipe, Mrs. S. W. Price and little son, Miss Addie Swift, Mrs. Philip Schnur, daughter and little babe; Mrs. Elmer McKinnis, Mrs. Alf Williams, Mrs. Levi Worst, Mrs. Morris Sweezey, Mrs. Jacob Kuntz, Mrs. S. Durkee, Mrs. A. L. Eno, Miss Nellie Beigh, Miss Eulalie Beigh, Miss Edith Perry and Miss Leo Hummel. “Mrs. Albert Mix had both bones of both legs broken, one just below the knee, the other just below the ankle. A joist fell across her limbs and a number of other people falling on top of this resulted in the fractures. Her physician reports that she is getting along nicely, fully as well as could be expected. “Mrs. D. G. Cassell suf­ fered a dislocated and broken wrist, a bad scalp wound, and was severely people who had come into the village to do their Saturday trading and to enjoy the beautiful day in greeting and shaking the hands of their neighbors and friends. Shortly before four o’clock, a rope walker had stretched his rope from one of the upper windows of Scheldt’s saloon to the building across the street. When he was preparing to give his per­ formance, the crowd began to congregate in the neigh­ borhood of the scene, and the sidewalk in front of W. H. Kleinhans’ store, which was one of the best points of vantage, was soon crowded to its capacity with women and children. “It is doubtful if any of them knew that there was an area under the walk upon which they stood, and if they had, it would have probably made no difference, because the sidewalk seemed to be strong and substantial. Suddenly, however, there was an awful crash, and the entire walk, in extent about twelve by twenty feet, gave way under the enormous weight, precipitating the crowd into the cellar. “The scene was a terrible one, and can hardly be described, even by eyewitnesses. In the neigh­ borhood of thirty women and children went down with the walk and were piled up into an indiscriminate mass with the ruins of the broken walk. Willing hands soon sprang to their assistance, and while those on top and unhurt extricated themselves as best they could, the bruised and mangled forms of the injured were brought out and taken into the neighboring stores.

A native of New Jersey, Kleinhans came o to Nashville a merchandising career at Pontiac, and bought the former Griffith store in 1886. He was still in business at the time of his death in 1929 at age 81, though son Clift had assumed store management. This undated ad shows ladies shirtwaists at sale prices of 60 and 80 cents. A "shocking disaster" occurred along Nashville s Main Street In 1894 when a boardwalk located just right of the utility pole in this undated photo collapsed and hurled more than two dozen women and children into a pit below. A tightrope walker's performance had drawn a crowd later estimated at nearly three tons dead weight to the site in front of Kleinhans' store (present-day home of Quality Pawn). The injured were carried to nearby stores, and all the physicians in town were speedily on the scene. (Bakery at left is now Thornapple General Store; a milliner occupied what now is the north portion of the bank.) (Photo loaned, courtesy Dorothy Hummel Martich) bruised on limbs and arms. She is recovering and will soon be able to be around. Mrs. Francis Showalter received a severe impactment of the ankle, which will probably bother her for some time, a bad scalp wound, and numerous bruises about the body. At last accounts, she was im­ proving. “Mrs. John Bahl had two ribs broken, but is not in­ jured otherwise and will probably soon recover. Mrs. Alf Williams suffered from a concussion of the brain and spine, and a sprained ankle, but is around again. Mrs. A. L. Eno received slight bruises on the back of the neck and the lower limbs. Mrs. Philip Schnur had her side slightly bruised, but aside from being sore and lame is all right now. Miss Leo Hummel received a slightly sprained ankle. “The others who went down in the smash were not injured, except a few slight scratches or bruises, and many were not hurt in the least. It was thought at first that some of the ladies were so seriously injured that death would result, but all are recovering in such good shape that there is now no doubt that not only will there be no fatalities, but that all will soon be able to be around again as usual. “An examination of the wreckage of the walk after the accident disclosed that some of the stringers under the walk were badly rotted, although the top planks were sound and all right. “The walk was thoroughly repaired less than two years ago, and at that time the stringers were sound and strong, but they have decayed since and were not strong enough to sustain the heavy load which was upon it at the time of the disaster. “Mr. Kleinhans at once sent for steel girders to put under the new walk, and they will be set into the masonry in such a way that there will be no possibility of such an accident ever occurring again. There are several similar places in town, all of which have been thoroughly inspected during the past week, and where there is any question as to their absolute safety, they will be strengthened and proper supports put under them. “There has been much talk as tto the liability of the village or Mr. Kleinhans for damages on account of the accident, but principally among people not in any way concerned in the matter. There is no liability, inasmuch as there was no indication of negligence. The walk was apparently as strong and substantial as any in town, and the fact that it withstood such a heavy load before it did fall shows that it was safe under or­ dinary conditions. “There was probably a dead weight of from two and one-half to three tons upon the walk at the time it fell, and it was so crowded that it was well-nigh impossible for pedestrians to get through. In fact, Marshal Hire had just started down the street to clear a passageway along the walk when the catastrophe occurred. The people who are injured and who are the most concerned seem to be inclined to look sensibly upon the matter and to regard it as one of those unforeseen disasters which are of daily occurrence and for which no one is par­ ticularly to blame. “The officials for the village feel very badly that such a thing should have occurred, and so does Mr. Kleinhans, but we do not see how anyone can con­ scientiously blame them. We doubt if anyone, no matter how often they may have passed over the walk, ever felt it give or noticed any other evidence of weakness, and the fact that the girders were all in good shape when inspected less than two years ago goes to show that those whose duty it is to look after such things were not derelict.” Don’t let the weather get you down...

January 17, 1984 — Page 7 What you should do and who you should call when your phone's in a fix. It isn’t very often that you need to deal with telephone repairs, hut when you do, you want them taken care of as fast as possible. Now that Michigan Bell has separated from AT&T, there are some changes in the way repair problems are handled. We have some suggestions for you on how to identify yyour phone .repair problems so that you can get them handled as quickly as possible. But first it’s important to know ubo will make specific telephone repairs. For example, effective January 1. 1984: 1. AT&T iissumed ownership of the phones Michigan Bell had been providing you for a monthly fee.. AT&T will continue to lease those phones to you and will offer repair senices. 2. AT&T will' also offer repair service for phones that you purchased-from Michigan Bell prior to January 1, 198h.3. Michigan Bell will continue-to service and repait the lines that lead to'your home or business. Now let’s talk about how you can tell if it’s your phone that needs repairing or your phone lines. Here’s how: 0 If you have plug-in -in or modular service, makee sure a ll of your phones are properly plugged in.; 0 Check all phones for physical damage or frayed, cords. If you find damage, it’s probably ah instriifnent problem. 0 If you have more than one telephone.-vcheck them all for a dial tone: If you doh't hear a dial-tone orr-any of the phones, you may have a line problem. If you do hear a dial tone on ;.at least one; phone, the problem jis probably in one of vour other instruments. If you determine that the trouble is isolated .tp: one instrument, at one location, and'you have modular service, try that instrument at another outlet,or possibly at a neighbor's (if both you and your neighbor have similar one-parly service). If the instrument works at another location, the problem may be with a specific outlet. Jf the instalment does not work at another phone outlet, the problem is probably with the instalment. We suggest you clip and save the following phone numbers and keep them near your telephone.

Maple Valley News Photo everything they had at the quick Lions but came up short, falling 78-72. Though the two teams traded baskets through most of the first quarter, the Vikings were able to net six straight points in the final minute of that period to take the lead, 17-13. But not to be outdone, the Lions returned the favor, scoring the next eight unanswered points, taking a 21-19 advantage with 5:06 to play in the half. The Lions fell two points-shy of their visitors, trailing 32-30 at the half. The torrid scoring pace continued in the third quarter. Valley hit 17 of 21 field goal attempts. Bronson continued to connect on long range shots while the Lions went inside. Junior center Greg Lenz netted eight of his varsity career-high 21 points in that period. Kurt Hartenburg also gave a strong performance and scored the field goal that put his Lions ahead, 48-40, with three minutes left in the quarter. Bronson regained the lead only once more after a Valley turnover with 5:30 left to play. They came within one, 71-70, with 1:06 to play but were held off by the free throw shooting of Kurt Hartenburg and Jeff Hamilton who was 9 of 10 from the charity stripe. Shan Ferrier came off the bench to help keep the Vikings at bay. The final 78-72 win was a staisfying team victory. Every varsity Lion played and contributed to the successful night. Jeff Hamilton led all scorers with his 27 points. He shot 60 percent from the field. The Lions have been wearing their new uniforms in their last three victories. They will be running a submarine sandwich sale to help pay the bill. The next league foe to visit Valley will be St. Philip on Friday, Jan. 20.

The annual safari is set for the last Sunday of January starting at noon with a poker run to follow later in the day, so come and enjoy a day in the Michigan outdoors and say yes to Vermontville. We have many new members in the snowmobile club this year and we do welcome them, and hope we have many years of sledding together. I’m happy to say that many of the businesses that are related to snowmobiling and skiing are enjoying a banner year, in sales and services. We do so need these people, and it makes me feel bad when we read ofso many going out of business, but things are looking up for them and us. We have a lot of things planned for the rest of the winter so just watch us now.

VERMONTVILLE, MICH. STATE LICENSE NO. 1612 5-mile ‘hike’ includes trip to Ford Museum Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, said the patrol method was not a way to operate a Boy Scout troop, it was the only way. A Scout patrol is the finest boys’ club in the world. It is the unit that makes Scouting go. It is a group of boys, usually six to eight, who are together because they like to do the same kinds of things. A patrol is a team, all working toward the same goal whether it be winning at a Klondike Derby or earning a badge. The Mountainmen of Nashville Troop 176 are such a patrol. The group of four boys decided to work together to fulfill one of the requirments for their hiking skill award.

January 24. 1984 Sunday open house planned at new Vermontville parsonage Vermontville’s new United Methodist parsonage will be open for public inspection Sunday afternoon, Jan. 29. The 2 to 5 p.m. open house event is an opportunity for the community to view the new residence located on Spring Street at the foot of First Street. Construction of the dwelling started last October. Rev. Glenn C. Litchfield and his family are expected to move from the old parsonage on East Main Street into the new home in about two week§. Litchfield serves both the Vermontville and Gresham United Methodist churches, and both congregations had a hand in planning and construction of the parsonage. Claude Van Blarcom, a license contractor, had charge of the building project as well as serving as co-chairman of the Building Committee. Serving with him as head of the group is Norman Wilmore, representing the Gresham church. Eight other persons comprise the balance of the board. They are Doug Kelsey, Dorothy Carpenter, Robert Todd, and Kenneth Frith, all of the Vermontville church, and Joan Wilmore, Forrest Rogers, Iva Jean Wilmore, and Sharon Parr, of the Gresham congregation. The impetus for the new parsonage came under pastorship of Rev. Molly Turner, who since has been transferred to a church at Breckenridge. It has been more than a year in planning. The site for the new dwelling is the former John Rodriguez property. The parsonage, spaciously designed with four bedrooms one of which can conveniently be used as an offcie is a pre-cut home. Blueprints were drawn to desired specifications, and include a barrier-free ramp entry to allow access by handicapped. Interior doorways also are extra wide to accommodate wheelchairs. Many have contributed toward making the dream a reality. “We have had generous help every step of the way, from (acquiring) the property to the building and decorating,” said Mrs. Carpenter. “We have had many generous gifts in the forms of services, materials and time, and a very generous contractor.” Volunteers - both men and women - have pitched in to help with many phases of the project. “The ladies have helped a great deal with the painting and staining,” noted Mrs. Carpenter. “And with cleanup.” She said that special credit should be given to Mrs. Hildred Peabody of Ver­ montville for assisting in the selection of colors of materials used in the decor of the home. The one-story home features a full walkout basement with its own half­ bath (thanks to the generosity of the plumber). The main floor has full bath and a half-bath, the latter in connection with a laundry room. In addition to living and dining ares, the floor­ plan also features a separate family room. The community is cor­ dially invited to inspect the new parsonage during Sunday afternoon’s open house. Refreshments will be served. Hastings man escapes injury when auto plunges into river by Susan Hinckley A 20-year-old Hastings man was fortunate to escape serious injury shortly after 7 a.m. Friday when his Blazer left Kellogg Street and plunged info the ice-covered Thornapple River - where it “turned turtle,” Police said that Dean L.

In the meantime a passerby spotted the up­ turned truck in the water and notified the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept. The Nashville ambulance also was sum­ moned, but was turned back as soon as it was determined that no one was in the river and that Kosbar, the sole occupant of the Blazer, had escaped unhurt. Police said Kosbar told them he was headecLeast on Kellogg Street when an oncomi;ng car crowded him into the right edge of the highway on the curve near the Hager Road intersection. He lost control of the vehicle and it slid over the em­ bankment into the river. A Vermontville wrecker was called to retrieve the truck. The Nashville Fire Dept, stood by during that operation in case of a gasoline leak. Both the Nashville Police Dept, and Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, were on the scene.

New officers named for local Friends of the Library Board by Susan Hinckley Sandy Schaub and Bonnie Leep were elected as officers for 1984 to the board of directors of Nashville’s Friends of the Library at that organization’s meeting on Jan. 12. The outgoing officers, Mary Hay and Ann Taylor, were honored by the FOL with placement of two new books in their names at Putnam Public Library. The FOL has many projects planned for the upcoming year, including the traditional Easter bake sale and the Children’s Summer Story Hour in July. A new program sponsored this year by the FOL will be eight weeks of weekly sign language instruction by a professional teacher. The classes will be conducted at the library from noon to 2 p.m. each Saturday, com­ mencing Feb. 4.

He moved to Nashville in 1970 from Grand Ledge and prior to that had lived at High Point, North Carolina, where he was employed as a foreman at the Hatteras Yacht Com­ pany. He was a Korean War veteran, serving 12 years in the U.S. Army before his discharge in 1958 — three of those years in Korea. Memorial services were set for Tuesday at 2 p.m. at Vogt Funeral Home, Nashville. Word has been received here of the death early Thursday of former local resident Lurah Mead Gaskill of Detroit. She had been in ill health recently and was living with her son, Marlin Richard Gaskill, at 5453 Kendal, Dearborn, 48126. Coincidently, the name of Lurah Gaskill had been mentioned last week in this column in connection with readers' comments about a 1920s Memories photo which pictured her sister, Lena, and brother, John. Their parents were Marlin and Rhoby Mead, and the family lived first on what is now the Pino farm in Maple Grove Township and then after the death of the father, moved in to Nashville and resided in the present-day Adolph Douse home across from Putnam Park. Lurah is survived by three sisters: Lena Saline and Glenna Friday the 13th proved to be an unlucky day for Mrs. Dennis (Mary) Hay of Nash­ ville, who had the misfortune of falling while going to the mailbox at her home. She sustained three fractures in the leg — two at the ankle and one at the knee. For now she is mostly staying off her feet, but if x-rays in two weeks prove favorable, she hopes to have a walking cast which will give her more mobility. If you have ever wanted to learn the art of sign language, you will soon have an excellent opportunity — without even leaving town. An eight-week course of a classes taught by professional will commence Saturday, Feb. 4, at Putnam Public Library in Nashville. The teacher will be Mary Ann Schneider, an instructor of sign language at Lansing Community College and charter member of S.O.D.A. (Signers and Others for Deaf Awarness) at LCC. A troupe from that group in November gave a sign language demonstration to music for an appreciative audience at Putnam Library. The Saturday classes will start at noon each week and run for two hours. Adults will pay a $2 fee per class; the cost for students up to college age will be $1 each session. Registration is being han­ dled at the library. Condolences to the family Well-meaning friends of the bereaved, with their ‘helpful’ advice, often make the person experiencing the loss feel inferior to them. They should realize that the answer to loss feelings lies always within the person experiencing the loss.

V FUNERAL DIRECTORS VOGT FUNERAL HOME IN NASHVILLE PHONE 852-0840 Averback, both ofjgre ott Arizona, and EffysPtirdy of Detroit area. Her^BMtid, Harry, died a number of years ago. The annual meeting of Barry Community Hospice is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 31, at the Dept, of Public Health in Hastings. Anyone interested in the progress of the newly-organized BCH is invited to attend. Hospice is a specialized health care program for terminally ill patients and their families, and provides a combination of medical, emotional and spiritual support in the familiar environment of the home. Two BCH volunteers from this community are Cathy Vessecchia, chaplain at Nashville Baptist Church, and Ruth Hughes, who serves as treasurer of BCH and is a member of the board of directors which governs the organization. The Nashville Fire Dept, was called out about 9 p.m. Tuesday to the Royal Thomason residence on Reed Street at Curtis Road, and found flames shooting from the south side of the home. Fire Chief Doug Yarger said the blaze started in a wall where the stovepipe of a Franklin fireplace joins a chimney. Flames spread from the north wall to the south wall, and also did other damage on the upper floor of the two-story frame home. The house sustained water damage, also. Nashville firefighters were on the scene one and one-half hours. The estimated cost of damage had not been determined at the time of this report.

Incidentally, Meade did not graduate with most of the others pictured in the photo (Class of 1920) since he had to miss a year of schooling, and graduated instead with the Class of 1921.

Main NASHVILLE Girl Scout cookies have been an important troop activity since the first homemade batch was sold in the 1920s. A 1928 article in Scout “Girl Leader Magazine” stated that a whopping $1,400 was raised in a troop cookie sale. Quite a feat when you know that a skilled mechanic of that time earned little more than $1,500 per year. It was 1934 before a commercial bakery agreed to mass produce the now familiar “Trefoil Shaped Cookies”. Girl Scout sup­ porters raised money to supply the Leary Philadelphia Bakery Company with the die needed to stamp out the cookies and a real business was fully born. Girl Scout cookie sales were so suc­ cessful that the bakers paid back the money for the first die. Later, the company bought more molds and, unfortunately, donated the original as scrap metal for World War II. Today there are seven bakeries licensed by the Girl Scouts of the United States of America. These companies produce well over 100 million boxes of Girl Scout cookies per year. Currently the Glowing Embers Council is supplied by Interbake Foods, Inc. of Battle Creek. Being a Girl Scout authorized baker is no easy job. Companies are con­ stantly checked for product quality, appearance, weight, taste and nutritional value. Their two year license can be renewed or cancelled only by the National Girl Scout headquarters. What makes it all wor- thwhile is, of course, the benefits reaped by the Girl Scouts. Even the youngest Brownie learns the valuable skills of businesslike order taking, successful marketing and delivery techniques. She learns teamwork, responsibility, courtesy and how to handle money. She works hard, but she knows that her efforts are needed and ap­ preciated by many. Annual cookie sales provide council funding totalling over 50 percent of annual needs. Thanks to “Cookie Money”, camp improvements can be met and camp fees can be kept lower. Special handicapper programs and aids are provided. Some funds are used to make it possible for girls to participate in national and international events. A percentage of the money earned goes to the Girl Scout troop to help in carrying out troop activities. If no one asks you for an order, why not call your local Girl Scout office and help keep Girl Scouting growing and serving.

January 24, 1984 — Poge 12 Trained dog gives independence to legally deaf man by Susan Hinckley The “difference between life and death” is the way hearing-impaired Vietnam veteran Richard Greenwood describes Ajax, a four-yearold hearing-trained Doberman pinscher who demonstrated his skills Monday at a Nashville Lions Club dinner meeting. During the program, Ajax led his master to a ringing telephone in the United Community Methodist Center and also alerted him to a knock at the door. Both were enacted with the staging by Michael Sapp, training director of Ears for the Deaf, Inc., a non-profit Kentwood-based corporation that trains dogs for the deaf at no cost to clients. The canines, most of whom are rescued from an uncertain fate at local animal shelters, are taught to alert their new deaf owners to such sounds as smoke alarms, doorbells or knock, alarm clock, telephone, the cry ofa baby, the sound of an intruder, stove timers, TV weather alerts, open doors, and dropped belongings. Each training program is tailored to the needs of the individual client. Since Greenwood is a bachelor, for example, Ajax did not need “baby cry” training, but his alarm clock skills are very important since they permit his owner to get to work on time. Sapp explained that in the case of deaf mothers, the “baby cry” training of a hearing dog is essential. Also primary to all the animals is the smoke alarm training. “Fires are the biggest fear of the deaf,” said Sapp, who started training dogs in 1980 as a hobby. Since then the project has blossomed into a program that has placed 39 dogs in homes in Lansing, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Muskegon, Grant, Traverse City, and Grand Rapids. The demand for trained dogs exceeds the supply, and finances have a lot to do with the shortage. “The demand is there,” noted Nashville Lion Phil Howard in introducing Monday’s guests. “The main problem has been funding.” Sapp said it costs about $1,500 to train and place a dog, with the biggest expense being travel costs of the trainers who must go to the home of a client to teach a dog hearing skills. Training elsewhere is un­ satisfactory, explained Sapp, because of the variation of sounds, such as the ring of a phone, which can differ from home to home. Another reason for inhome training is to establish a bond between the animal and the owner. “We need that emotional tie between owner and dog,” said Sapp. He noted that he could not guarantee transfer of the relationship if a dog were trained elsewhere then placed with an owner. Greenwood also supported the in-home training program. “Deaf persons themselves must make a commitment (to the hearing-dog),” he explained. “It is a chance to do something for ourselves, a chance to be independent.” In the last four years, Greenwood’s hearing has deteriorated from a mild loss to 50 percent, which makes him legally hard of hearing. He said doctors have told him he could “wake any day with no hearing at all,” as the nerve is dying. Greenwood’s first hearing dog died suddenly of a heart attack, and he found that to be such a heart-rending experience that he declined to apply for a replacement. a narrowlyHowever, averted family tragedy complicated when he failed to hear a phone, convinced him of the need of another animal, and that is when Ajax came into his life. After initial obedience training and neutering, selected dogs receive three or four months of daily in­ struction with the owner and trainer. All breeds of dogs are eligible for the program. After the training period, the dog and the owner are left on their own for 30 days before the trainer pays a return call. If the animal is still properly performing his hearing skills, he receives official certification, which includes awarding of a blaze orange collar and leash — official national symbol of hearing dogs. There are now 35 states in Michael Sapp, director of Ears For Deaf Inc., told the Nashville Lions Club about the hearing dog program which he started in 1980 as a hobby. the USA that have laws said Sapp. The animals are allowing hearing dogs the never far from their owners. Each day that Greenwood same rights as leader dogs for the blind. The iden- goes to his job at a Stop & Go tification is particularly convenience store — one of important, added Sapp, the busiest in Grand Rapids since deafness is not a — he is accompanied by “visible handicap”. He noted Ajax, who lies quietly near that by a ratio of 25-1, the his master. Customers have out- become accustomed to the hearing-impaired mber blind persons in sight of the gentle, loyal Doberman and often speak Michigan. “Once the dogs are to him by name. Sapp told the Nashville trained, they go above and beyond; they become very Lions that he currently has reliable in their responses,” 80 applications waiting right now — and gets calls and letters daily from throughout the country, but said that Ears for the Deaf, Inc. wants to first service Michigan. At present, Sapp and a lady who lives at Lawton are the only trainers in the Michigan program but others are in the process of recruitment and learning. “I just want to let the people know that the program exists and that it needs (financial) help,” said Greenwood. “For someone, it could mean the difference between life and death.” The friendly animal had no trouble making friends during his Nashville appearance. Here, he has the attention of Penny Jones. Handicappers' handbook available from Rep. Nash A special bond of love and devotion has developed between hearing-impaired Viet Nam vet Dick Greenwood and his constant companion and "ears", Ajax. A revised handbook outlining local services for handicappers was issued today by State Represen­ tative Ernest W. Nash (RDimondale). The 50 page handbook entitled “Handicapper Concerns1A’ *li s*ts* *pr*iv* a*te and public agencies providing services for handicappers in Eaton County. Covered are such things as veteran’s benefits, coun­ seling, education, em­ ployment, housing, recreation and transportation. A short description of an agency’s services, fees, how they can be reached and hours of operation are listed. The handbook also lists the TTY (teletype telephone) phone numbers of agencies so that deaf customers can communicate with them. Representative Nash first issued a handbook for handicappers in 1980 and the response was overwhelming. Myrtle Gregg, Director of the Labor Department’s Commission on Han­ dicappers Concerns, said the handbook is a tremendous service for handicappers and something that could be replicated in every com­ munity. Handicappers and agencies wanting a copy of the guide can write to Representative Nash at the State Capitol Building, Lansing, Michigan - 48909, or call 517-373-0853.

In the past, we invested in our young people. Today, they lead the world in agriculture. Programs teaching production, horticulture, processing, sales and service, natural resources, forestry and agri-mechanics are essential. Through such educational programs, young people learn to use the modem technology of agriculture to feed our nation and the world. We have to keep America on the grow. We have to invest in the people and technology that ensures our world leadership in agriculture. That’s why your support of vocational and technical education in agriculture, and the Future Farmers ofAmerica in your community, is so important. Together, we’re Keeping America on the Grow. Future Farmers ofAmerica STATE OF THE STATE - Governor James Blanchard’s 20-minute “State of the State” address delivered on January 18 featured proposals for a zero-increase in the state budget for the fiscal year 1984-85, as well as large and long-overdue increases in state spending for education. The increase in education spending will mean, however, budget cuts elsewhere. TAX CREDIT REFUNDS ALREADY HIT $11 MILLION MARK - The Michigan Department of Treasury reports that since January 1, over 20,120 property tax credit, home heating credit and income tax refunds totaling $10,900,366 have been sent out to early tax filers. The Department an­ ticipates 3.1 million refunds will be sent out this year, totaling nearly $1 billion, with $630 million in property tax credits alone. EDUCATION LEGISLATION INTRODUCED - A package of Republican-sponsored bills has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives that are aimed at upgrading the administration of the state’s 3,300 public high schools, and improving teacher preparation programs at all of Michigan’s private and public colleges. H.B. 5227 would require the State Board' of Education to certify school ad­ ministrators and H.B. 5228 would require the State Board to develop a system of monitoring and evaluating the state’s colleges and universities’ teacher preparation programs. PHEASANTS FROM THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA - The Department of Natural Resources has been notified by Chinese Officials that they have agreed to ship 200 wild-trapped ringneck pheasants to the State of Michigan within the next few months. It marks the first time in 100 years that “truly” wild ringnecks have been available in North America. The pheasants, from China’s Sichuan Province, are expected to increase both Michigan’s pheasant stock and the tourism industry. AND SPEAKING OF TOURISM... The Michigan Department of Commerce has released figures that indicate that 1983 was a banner year for tourism expansion in Michigan when over $360 million in travel and tourism related projects and facilities were announced, begun, or completed in the state. Included in the new developments are hotels, motels, marinas, convention and conference centers, ski resorts arid amusement parks. MICHIGAN DRIVERS OBEY 55 MPH LAW - At the request of federal officials from the U.S. Department of Transportation, traffic surveys were conducted that reveal. that 51.5 percent of Michigan’s motorists drive at or below the 55 mph federal speed limit. Michigan would have lost over $9 million in federal highway and transportation funds if the survey had shown that over 50 percent of the drivers in the state drove above the 55 mph limit.

Vol. 112 - No. 31 - Tuesday, January 31.1984 Sewer line is 12-feet short of Nashville resident's property line by Susan Hinckley The las test development in an ongoing controversy between Nashville and William Moon regarding hookup of h*> house at 609 Grant Street to the village’s newly-expanded municipal sewer system surfaced Thursday at a meeting of the Nashville Village Council. Village President John Hughes announced that a recent survey done by the civil engineering firm of De Keyser & Associates of Battle Creek at the request of Moon shows that the roadway in front of the Moon residence does not lie in the correct spot "Grant Street is twelve feet east of where it is supposed to be,” said Hughes. He noted that this means that the service “stub” which had been laid from the collection main to the edge of the Moon property is twelve feet short Brownie's plan bake sale and special drawing by Susan Hinckley Three troops of Nashville Brownie Scouts are com­ bining efforts to earn money for summer camp. The girls in troops led by Ruth Hughes, Linda Delong, and Ann Taylor are spon­ soring a bake sale and Teddy Bear drawing to help finance their planned June visit to the Lansing Environmental Center. The bake sale will be conducted Saturday, February 4, at two Nashville locations: Comerica Bank and Eaton Federal Savings and Loan. Tickets for the Teddy Bear drawing are available now from troop members and also will be sold the day of the bake sale. Three cuddly stuffed bears in pastel shades are to be awarded in a drawing on Valentine’s Day, February 14. The lucky ticket-holders need not be present to win. Brownies in Nashville Troop No. 746 took a break during a Wednesday's meeting to pose with three cuddly Teddy Bears that will be raffled by three troops of local scouts to earn money for summer camp. Seated from left are Jenny Mittelstaedt, Mindy Garvey, Bridie Petrie, and Christin Ossenheimer. Standing, from 1., Holly Taylor, Sarah Leep, Dalaina McGhan, and Tara Swanson.

The situation will be corrected by project engineers Williams and Works, added Hughes, since “we have responsibility" to take the service stub to the homeowner’s property line. He noted that Grant Street is still within its legal 12-ft. right-of-way. A -lateral line form the “stub” to the Moon home has not been laid by the homeowner because of lack of agreement between the village and Moon. The council voted August 11 to assume responsibility for any potential freeze-up of a pipe from the sewer collection line to the house. The vote cam after some council members said the shallowness of the main at that point four feet necessitated an even lesser depth for the Moon lateral line, putting it well above frost level. Engineers recommended, that foam insulation be placed around the line, but they said they could not ensure it would not freeze. At the time of the August action, some council members blamed the problem on poor engineering on that portion of Nashville’s new $4.8 million sewer expansion. Earlier this month the council rescinded the decision made in August to take responsibility for any potential freeze-up of Moon’s lateral line due to inability to reach a settlement with him. At that Jan. 12 meeting the council also refused to consider a new proposal by Moon that the council deed him a parcel of villageowned land in exchange for village liability on the lateral line. The property he sought consists of parts of aban­ doned roads and alleyways which converge adjacent to the Moon- property in the Staley Addition. Hughes said Thursday that Moon’s name would be temporarily removed from the list of property owners targeted for suit in Barry County Circuit Court for non­ compliance with Nashville’s sewer ordinance, which mandates hookup for any home located within 200 feet of a collection line. In other business Thur­ sday the council learned from Hughes that the village is being sued for $375 in Small Claims Division of 56th District Court by Patrick J. Eckman of 402 Kellogg Street, Nashville. Hughes said that in the suit, loss ofa basement wall in his home is cited by Eckman, who alleges the problem was caused by flooding after a municipal storm drain was damaged during con­ struction of a sanitary sewer line on Kellogg Street in March 1982. “My question to him. was why did you wait so long (to notify the council of the problem)?” said Hughes, adding the Eckman gave him no answer. But Hughes noted that Eckman earlier had claimed he had reported the problem to former councilman Robert Fueri, Jr., thought the matter, said Hughes, was never brought before the council. All current council members are named in the Eckman suit, which will be heard at 9 a.m. Friday, Feb. 3. Hughes said he will represent the village along with attorney Richard Wendt of Grand Rapids; Dept, of Public Works Supervisor Leon Frith; and an engineer from Williams & Works. Also at Thursday’s meeting, the council: —Agreed to to contact Charter Telecommunications, Inc., the cable TV firm which serves Nash­ ville, to remind them of the provision of their consent agreement to pay the village an annual fee of three present of their yearly gross receipts for basic service charges paid by Nashville subscribers to the system. An accounting of that amount was due Dec. 31, said Hughes, and payment is due on Jan. 31. -Set a public hearing at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9, to consider proposed uses of federal revenue sharing funds for the 1984-84 fiscal year, and another at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 23, to review and adopt the revenue sharing plan and the new village budget. Both meetings will be at the Community Center proceeding the regular council meetings. —Agreed to investigate potential savings to the village if they buy the seven telephones they currently lease for A.T.&T. since the January 1st breakup of that firm. —Approved an election board for the Feb. 20 village primary and the March 12 general election of Marsha Ainslie, chairperson; Debbie Morawski; Joyce Koetje; and Doria Meehan.

Temperatures in the mid to upper 30s for a few consecutive days also helped melt icy buildups on eaves and rooftops. But it was a short reprieve from winter. By the weekend, ther­ mometers in the area again plunged to single digit readings for nighttime lows. Saturday brought more snow and slick roads.

A group of people from this community got together Thursday evening to attend the concert by country music star Ricky Skaggs at the Kellogg Center in Battle Creek. They enjoyed a lively show that included a good helping of gospel music — which seemed to please the audience of some 2,400 people. Appearing with Skaggs, an award-winning newcomer on the country music scene, were The Whites (his wife Sharon is one of that family), and as a warmup the duo of Linke & McCants, of this area, performed. Those in the Nashville group report that it was a very entertaining show and well worth the price of admission, as Skaggs was still making encores at 11:15 p.m. In the local delegation were Rick and Cathy Vessecchia, Pastor and Mrs. Lester DeGroot, Larry and Suzy Corkwell, and Lowell and Joan McMillon and son Todd, all of Nashville; Jerry and Terry Fager of Lake Odessa; Gary and Karen Suntken of rural Ver­ montville; and their daughter and son-in-law, Lisa and Steve Sterkenberg of Grand Rapids.

At their meeting Thursday, the village council appointed an election board consisting of Marsha Ainslie, chair­ person; Debbie Morawski, Joyce Koetje, and Doria Meehan. The primary election will narrow a field of four can­ didates for three trustee seats opening March 1 on the council.

The Pastor-Parish Relations Committee of Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 7, with District Superintendent Rev. Ronald Houk of Lansing. Congratulations to the Maple Valley Lions who are still in first place in the SMAA league after their 65­ 55 win Friday over the Pennfield Panthers. The game at Pennfield was carried live over WBCK radio and also rated a big writeup in Saturday’s edition of the Battle Creek Enquirer. The story made much of the fact that none of the Maple Valley eagers is over six feet tall, and that lack of height on the team is compensated by the exceptional speed of the MV players. The latest contribution to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came last week from Mr. and Mrs. Don Barlow in memory of Lt. Col. David G. Steinke.

Students, teachers and the Myall’s enjoyed this op­ portunity.

The Raiders came to Maple Valley boasting a fine 9-2 record but couldn’t shake the quick Lions in the first half. Both teams netted 32 points by the end of the second quarter. Valley’s fall came quickly in the third quarter when they were outscored 14-4. The Lions were not able to recover the deficit and went on to lose 68-52. Free throws hindered lion chances for an upset. Valley hit only 12 of 20 from the charity stripe while the Raiders connected on 24 of 28. The Lions hit 20 field goals and Portland 22. Jeff Hamilton led Lion scorers with 19 points. Jeff Starring grabbed IQ rebounds and Kurt Hartenburg and Ryan Trowbridge had 8 each. The victory at Pennfield on Friday kept Valley solidly in first place. Though the Panthers took a 15-14 edge at the close of the first quarter, they were never down 31-22 by the close of the half. The host Panthers were able to narrow the gap to 4 points in the third quarter but the Lions were able to widen the margin to 43-36 going into the final period. With four minutes to play, the Lions had built a 56-38 advantage before turnovers allowed the Panthers to come with 9 points with 2 minutes to play. But Lion quickness kept the Panthers off balance and dashed their hopes of an upset victory. Though Valley hit only 19 of 39 free throw attempts, it was enough to seal the victory. Pennfield struggled even more at the charity stripe, netting only 9 of 20 attempts. Both teams recorded 23 field goals. Ryan Trowbrige and Kurt Hartenburg led Valley rebounding with 9 apiece. Gary Reid added 6 rebounds and 5 defensive steals. Jeff Starring continued his consistent play by grabbing 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 assists. Jeff Hamilton led all scorers, with 24 points.

Serving as auctioneer at the event was Hal Maxson, speech therapist for the Maple Valley school system. Among the items crossing the “auction block” were books, posters, candy bars, bubble gum, pencils, stickers, etc., all furnished by the teacher. ■“It costs me a little,” said Mrs. Potter, “but the results are fantastic. The children really work hard to get their work done (to earn the Good Apple Money).” The successful system also provides a lesson in economics for the youngsters, who just prior to Friday’s auction could be seen carefully counting their assets. They have learned that monetary reward system can work in reverse, too. “They can lose it (Good Apple Money),” said Mrs. Potter. “If a student turns in a paper without putting his name on it, I take $50 away from him.” Compassionate Friends meetings open to bereaved of the area Compassionate Friends, an organization offering friendship and un­ derstanding to bereaved parents and friends, will meet from 7-10 p.m. on Tuesday Feb. 7 at the Ingham Community Health Center in Lansing.

Also on the ballot will be four unopposed Republican incumbents: John Hughes, president; Susan M. Cork­ well, clerk; Lois J. Elliston, treasurer; and Justin W. Cooley, assessor. Vying for the trustee seats are incumbents Carl L. Tobias and George T. Frith; former councilman Lonny L. Kienutske, and newcomer Robert J. Harvey. All eight candidates are seeking two-year terms. To give voters an op­ portunity to become better acquainted with the people behind the names on the primary ballot, the Maple Valley News is pleased to present a “Meet The Can­ didates” forum. Information used in this article has been supplied by the candidates who responded to questionnaires we sent them. In cases where they did not answer our request, data was provided from our files. Voters are reminded that since all candidates filed as Republicans, the results of the Feb. 20th primary will in effect determine the out­ come of the general election in March. The only exception to this would be in the event of a successful write-in campaign on that March 12th ballot. Otherwise, the general election will serve only as a confirmation of the Feb. 20th decision of the voters. Carl L. Tobias of260 Fuller Street is seeking his third 2­ year term on the Nashville Village Council. He currently is serving a trustee term to which he was elected in 1982. In addition Tobias has been a member of the Nashville Zoning Board of Appeals since 1977 and for the past six years has served as chairman of that board. Tobias also was on the council committee responsible for working with the townships of Castleton and Maple Grove to create the new Transfer-Recycling Center, and serves on the administrative board for that facility. On the village council he currently serves as head of the Finance Committee and is President Pro Tern of Nashville. Born in Hastings, Tobias is the son of Mrs. Claire Tobias of rural Nashville and the late Earl Tobias. He graduated in 1954 from Hastings High School. As a youth he was very active in 4-H and has served as a leader. He has lived in Nashville the past 16 years and is employed as a quality control inspector in the General Motors Parts Division at Lansing, where he has worked for 28 years. Tobias and his wife, the former Geraldine Smith of Hastings have four children: Laurie and Carl, Jr., both college students at Grand Rapids; and sons Brice and Carmen, at home. John Hughes Susan M. Corkwell Carl L. Tobias Robert J. Harvey The Tobias family are members of the Hastings Baptist Church. George T. Frith of 303 Center Court is seeking his second consecutive 2-year term on the village council. He previously served two terms as a trustee in 1968-70 and 1972-74, and was village president from 1974-78. He currently serves as head of the council’s Policy Committee, which formulates policies and procedures for that board.

Recently escaping our wintry weather for a "fantastic” week-long Caribbean cruise was Mrs. Homer (Tecla) Snow of Nashville. She accompanied her daughter Barbara of Lansing and Sue, a co­ worker of the latter. The three ladies flew to Miami, Florida, where they boarded a Carnival Cruise Line ship that took them to three ports: San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands; and Samana in the Dominican Republic. They had excellent weather for the trip except for rain as they departed Miami, which necessitated a temporary change of route due to rough seas. At San Juan, the ladies joined a city tour which took them to the beautiful Georgian marble capitol building; the impressive El Morro fortress; and the Church of San Jose that was the original burial place of Spanish explorer Ponce De By Susan Hinckley Leon.

One evening at the dinner table, the three ladies met a young mother and her two children from El Salvador who spoke of the present turmoil in their country.

Young Emory Parady was there when John Wilkes Booth breathed his last near Port Royal, Virginia, and later migrated to Nashville where he became village president. Often as the an­ niversary of Lincoln’s birth approached, Parady recounted his adventure for The Nashville News. Portions of his account are used in the following article. His handwritten text apparently contained misspellings of names of a few key people, so we have included the correct information where indicated but otherwise left Emory’s original version intact, when quoted. The following story was first published as a Memories of the Past m February 1981. As a 21-year-old Army private in 1865, Emory Parady (seen here about 1910) helped carry mortally-wounded John Wilkes Booth from a burning Virginia barn and heard the last whispered request of Lincoln's assassin. Parody's cavalry unit also captured Booth's comrade David E. Herold, who later was hanged. Parady moved to Nashville in 1870, and became a prominent civic leader. Emory Parady was determined to be a soldier. Perhaps he knew that he had a date with destiny. When the 17-year-old New York lad enlisted in M’Comb’s Plattsburg Regiment in the fall of 1861, his father went to the company commander and secured Emory’s release on the grounds that he was underage. But three years later, after his father had moved to Illinois, young Parady, then a 20-year-old New York farmer, again enlisted—this time with Sprague’s Light Cavalry (Company H, 16th N.Y. Volunteers). Less than a year later, Pvt. Parady played a compelling role in American history. He was among a unit of 26 enlisted men who captured John Wilkes Booth, assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. Pvt. Parady was one of two soldiers who dashed into a burning barn near Port Royal, Virginia, and carried the mortally-wounded Booth outside. He heard the assassin’s last whispered words. Eighteen years later, Parady was president of the Village of Nashville. Emory Parady came to Nashville in December 1870, just five and a half years after his historic encounter with Booth. His recollections of that event became a popular annual feature in Nashville News, The Nashville News, forerunner of the Maple Valley News, which began publication in October 1873. Undoubtedly regarded as a local hero in his day, Parady was a cobbler by trade. “My father was an expert on making boots,” said his son Silas in a March 1937 The Parady home, which with slight alterations is now the Garvey residence at 204 E. Francis Street, Nashville, may have been purchased by Emory with his share of the $100,000 reward for capturing the slayer of President Abraham Lin­ coln. It is believed that Parody's cobbler shop was located in the "Dug-out" build­ ing which still stands on the NE corner of the Main and Sherman streets intersec­ tion. All the children of Emory and Frances Parady except Silas (seated, center) were born in Nashville. Elizabeth and Albert are standing; Nellie and Blanche, two years apart in age, are in the front row. Following rheumatic fever at 16, Silas used crutches the rest of his life. After 37 years in Nashville Emory Parady, a cobbler by trade, moved his family to Portland, Oregon, and died there in 1924. interview published in the Oregon Journal after the family had moved west and the elder Parady had died. “He charged from $12 to $15 a pair,” noted Silas. Parady was a shoe- and boot-maker both in Michigan and Oregon. In Nashville his shop probably was located in the building now commonly called the “Dug-out” on the northeast corner of Main and Sherman streets. An early News account describes Parady’s shop as “across from the post office,” which at that time was located in the present-day Dairy Delite store. Bom April 9,1844, at Beck­ mantown in Clinton County, New York, Emory was the fifth of 12 children of Edward and Mary E. Paradis, natives of Quebec who anglicized the family name after moving across the USCanada border at New York. When young Emory’s first attempt to become a soldier was thwarted, he turned to farming until enlisting Sept. 13, 1864, for a period of one year in Sprague’s Light Cavalry. Pvt. Parady was in a number of minor Civil War battles and was captured by Mosby’s guerrillas near Warrenton, Virginia, but managed to escape into a swamp and make his way back to his command. After the assassination of President Lincoln on April 14,1865, at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C., the 16th N.Y. Cavalry was one of the first units engaged in the search for the assassin, hunting south and west of the capital city. A few days later, the unit was detailed as part of the military escort for Lincoln’s funeral. On April 24, the U.S. Dept, of War ordered the unit led by Lt. Edward P. Doherty to go “as speedily as possible in pursuit of J. Wilkes Booth.” The unit of26 enlisted men, including Parady, was ac­ companied by National Police detectives Luther B. Baker and E. J. Conger. “We marched to the Potomac and were soon on board the little steamer Ida (actually the ship was the John S. Ide), which took us down the Potomac as far as Bell Plains,” wrote Parady in an 1880 account for The Nashville News. After the troops landed at 10 p.m., continuedParady, “We were ordered to strap sabers to our saddles and march along as quietly as possible and not speak above a whisper.” An all-night march brought them to the Rappahannock River the next afternoon and “There we got track of the one we were after,” wrote Parady. “While crossing the river on a flat boat manned by two mulattoes, they gave us a description of Booth and Harrold (actually David E. Herold) who had crossed the previous day with a party of Mosby’s men, led by Capt. Jett.” The cavalrymen soon nabbed Jett in a hotel at Bowling Green, 15 miles from the river. He sub­ sequently led the federal troops to Garrett’s farm near Port Royal, Virginia, where Booth and Herold were spending the night in a barn, unaware that they had been padlocked in by Garrett’s young Rebel son who said he feared the men would steal his father’s horses. “Booth had given his name (to the Garretts) as John W. Boyd, doubtless to correspond with the initials J. W. B. on the back of his left hand,” noted Parady in the News story. The cavalrymen promptly surrounded the barn. Parady was in the lead. “I spurred my horse and quickly got to the barn, and while going around it heard a rustling of straw inside, went and in­ formed Lt. Daugherty (sic)... who appeared pleased that we were about to succeed.” The elder Garrett and Jett were tied to trees nearby and guards were posted. The other soldiers dismounted and took positions around the barn. Repeated calls for the suspects to surrender brought queries from Booth as to who they were and why they wanted him, and a claim that he “was on his way to Mexico to make a fortune.” Parady’s account con­ tinues: “Booth strongly insisted upon having terms granted him, wanted us to step back a few paces, then he would come out and fight us singly, saying, ‘I will fight and die like a man.’ He told us to shoot him through the heart, not... the head.” Herold soon exited unarmed and surrendered, claiming no connection with Booth. The latter confirmed this by shouting, “Capt., that man is innocent.” Negotiations with Booth continued. “During this time, one of our party drew a little straw through a crack in the barn and touched a lighted match to it,” wrote Parady. The blaze soon illuminated Booth, as the soldiers peeked through the cracks in the building. Parady continued: “On discovering the fire, Booth stepped near it with carbine in hand, looked at it for a moment, then turned and walked back a few steps, paused, and with a deter­ mined look was evidently watching for an opportunity to shoot the first man that came in sight. “Then B. Corbett who was to the rear of the barn and near Booth, placed his revolver to a crack and shot, the ball striking Booth in the neck. As soon as the shot was fired, Sgt. Wendell and myself ran to the door, went in on the double-quick, found Booth sitting on the floor with carbine by his side.” Parady then quickly placed his hands on Booth’s belt to prevent him from drawing a knife or pistol (he had two of each). Booth’s largest knife had blood dried on both sides of the blade,” noted Parady. “The fire spread so rapidly that we had to carry him out and while laying him on the ground, he whispered, ‘Tell Mother I died for my country, I thought it for the best’.” The soldiers movied Booth to the veranda of the Garrett house and procurred the services of a Rebel surgeon who did all he could for the man. “But it was of no avail,” wrote Parady, “the shot was fatal and Booth died about sunrise April 26.” The troops took Booth’s body and prisoner David Herold both back to the Washington Naval Yard where they were delivered on the night of the 26th. Parady was mustered out of the Army the following month in a war department cutback of active duty troops. For his participation in the Booth capture, Parady was awarded a private’s share of the $100,000 reward. There was a delay in payment, but he finally received his portion which was $1,568.30. Parady may have used some of his reward money to purchase property in Nash­ ville. In November 1866, he married Frances Barnes in Ottawa County and the couple lived at Lamont before moving in 1867 to Ionia County and coming to Nashville three years later. Early News accounts indicate Parady’s high standing in the community. He served at various times as assessor, school board member, Castleton Town­ ship supervisor, postmaster, village president, and justice of the peace — a post which earned him the traditional title of Squire.

After retirement, Herbert continued to raise a garden until he was 85. He also was formerly employed at the American Steam Pump Co. in Battle Creek.

When it’s used to detect cystic fibrosis. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has launched a statewide educational project, “Kiss Your Baby” for the week of February 12-18. The purpose of the week­ long venture is to alert parents .to the symptoms of cystic fibrosis and other children’s lung diseases in the hope that early diagnosis and prompt treatment (an essential element in lengthening the life span of children and young adults with CF) will result. One of the symptoms of cystic fibrosis is an ex­ tremely salty taste to the CF child’s skin, which can be detected by kissing or tasting them on the forehead. Other symptoms include (1) recurrent wheezing; (2) persistant coughing and excess mucus; (3) pneumonia more than once during childhood; (4) ex­ cessive appetite but poor weight gain; (5) clubbing (enlargement) of the fingertips. Suspecting parents are directed to consult their local physician. “It is estimated that respiratory problems in children take up to 70 per­ cent of a pediatrician’s time and are the leading cause of chronic absenteeism from school,” said Rev. James E. Falsey, President of the Greater Michigan Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foun­ dation. “Furthermore, cystic fibrosis is second only to cancer in the number of young lives it takes and onethird of the victims of this disease are not yet diagnosed. 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.

The Trojans came ready to play, hitting their first seven shots and building a 24-11 first quarter lead. The ad­ vantage seemed in­ surmountable for the smaller Lions but the hosts put together a 27 point second quarter with six Lions scoring to whittle the Trojan lead to 8 points 46-38, by the half The Lions used balanced scoring to finally tie the game at 46 with 2 minutes gone in the third quarter. Middleville quickly coun­ tered by netting 6 unan­ swered points and leaving Valley behind 60-54 at the close of the third quarter. The Trojans kept a tight grip on the lead in the final period scoring 11 of their 21 fourth quarter points at the charity stripe. The Lions countered with 17 points. Greg Lenz led Lion scorers with 16 points, Jeff Hamilton, Jeff Starring and Ryan Trowbridge each added 11 points, Kurt Hartenburg netted 8. Middleville 81-Maple Valley 71.

In league play, the Lions maintained their one game lead over second place St. Philip by defeating Bellevue 7366 on Friday. The crowded gym wit­ nessed an action packed first halfas each team took a turn at the lead. The biggest margin was held by the Broncos early in the second quarter. They spurted to a 7 point advantage, 22-15, but couldn’t maintain it. The scrappy Lions tied the game 26-26 with 3 minutes to go in the half. Both teams ended the first half with 34 points. Senior forward Pat Wing of Bellevue netted 24 of his teams’s 34 points in the first two quarters but Lion guards Gary Reid and Marty Martin had other plans for him in the final half. After Valley scored the first2 points in the third quarter, the Broncos never regained the lead and Wing played without a field goal.

While Republicans will enjoy a 20-18 edge in the Senate, Democrats still control the House of Representatives, 63-46. EXOTIC WEAPONS WOULD BE OUTLAWED - Com­ mercially available weapons would be outlawed in Michigan under legislation H.B. 5266, introduced recently in the Michigan House. Included in the ban would be flail sticks, brass knuckles, devices that conceal knives, multi-pointed star-shaped objects, and tekagis, shukos, nunchakus, zoobows, shinonizues, and manrikigusaris. HEALTH CARE COST CONTAINMENT A com­ prehensive 17-point plan to reduce the cost of health care in Michigan has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives. The proposals would reform the insurance reimbursement system, limit capital investment in health facilities, and overhaul the regulation of the health professions. The program also calls for reform of medical malpractice laws in an effort to reduce the practice of defensive medicine and to promote health maintenance organizations across the state. If adopted, the cost con­ tainment plan could save Michigan citizens and employees $800 million. REGISTRATION BY MAIL - A controversial plan that would allow Michigan residents to register to vote by filling out a post card and sending it to the office of the Secretary of State was defeated last week in the Michigan House of Representatives. Proponents of the measure maintain that NOTICE of PUBLIC HEARING There will be a Public Hearing February 9, 1984 at 7:00 p.m. at the Community Center in Nash­ ville to discuss the proposed use of Federal Revenue Sharing totaling $22,883.00 for the Village of Nashville. SUSAN M. CORKWELL Village Clerk it would encourage more people to register by making the procedure easier and more convenient Opponents argue that there are no deferents to voter fraud and that the present system, requiring a personal appearance to register, ensures that all voters are indeed eligible. MORE MILES DRIVEN IN 1983, FEWER ROAD DEATHS - The Michigan Department of Transportation reports that motorists in Michigan drove 63.6 billion miles in 1983, up 2.3 billion from 1982. The death rate on roads and highways stands at 2.04 persons kiled per one million miles of vehicle travel, the lowest ever recorded. These estimates are based on continuous traffic counts at 75 locations monitored by MDOT and on volumes of gasoline sold at Michigan service stations. OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION - Michigan’s oil and gas production, which ranks 10th among the nation’s 33 petroleum producing states, is expected to increase in 1984 as more and more of the state’s 54 petroleum exploration firms drill additional wells. This year, the oil industry is expected to surpass the record 1,000 wells drilled in 1949.

According to these guidelines, such nutrients and food constituents as Vitamins A,C,E, dietary fiber, beta carotene, and selenium have been shown potentially to inhibit cancer when consumed at levels found in balanced diet. It is important to note that ex­ cessive consumption of certain of these substances, especially selenium, can be toxic. The guidelines also explain that while many people have reduced their consumption of saturated fat, they have not reduced total fat intake. Research has shown a link between total fat intake and the incidence of cancer, especially cancer of the breast, large bowel and prostate. Research has also shown a link between excessive consumption of salt-cured, smoked and charcoal-broiled foods and cancer. Dr. Gampbell says that few Americans are likely to be at risk from this, however, because of American dietary habits and controlled food processing procedures. High alcohol consumption affects cancer risk because consumption of “empty” calories in alcoholic beverages reduces the in­ take of nutrient-rich foods. High consumption of alcohol may also be associated with the development of liver cancer. Combined with cigarette smoking, high alcohol consumption also increases the risk of certain cancers.

On the evening of her Monday birthday, her wish came true. Kristie was chosen to reign as queen of the upcoming Vermontville Syrup Festival. She was selected from a field of five candidates who were quizzed last night by a panel of judges after a dinner sponsored by the Vermontville Lions Club at the village's Congregational Church. “It’s the best birthday present I’ve had lately,” said the 17-year-old queen. Kristie Is the daughter of Stanley and Darlene Hosey of Shaytown Rd. Audrey Dumont, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie F. Dumont Jr., was selected to serve as the queen’s alter­ nate. Other members of the royal syrup court are Dawn Hampton, daughter of Russ and Marjorie Bennett; Lindy Hoffman, daughter of Allen and Melody Hoffman; and Gina Lehman, daughter of Loren and Mary Lehman. All of the syrup festival royalty reside in the Vermontville area and are juniors at Maple Valley High School Queen Kristie is a 5’8" brunette with hazel eyes. She is a member of the serves on the student council. Her extra curricular activities include 4-H, FFA, and softball. Kristie also is a member of the school's marching, concert and jazz bands Collecting hats and stuffed animals are two of her hobbies Kristie enjoys cake decorating and likes to draw. A cantfidale’s knowledge of the maple syrup making process and the content of a written essay are taken into consideration in the royalty judging contest. For her essay. Kristie wrote about a personal experience in maple syrup production when she was in the eighth grade. "A neighbor and I decided to make our own syrup," she said. “We tapped eight trees and produced about three pints of syrup. We had problems when we tried to boil down the sap outside and ended up cooking it inside on the stove. “1 also gained some knowledge of syrup making on our farm, when my Greatt Uncle Louie reminisces about some of his ex­ periences in the sugar bush,” she said. Kristie won a silver award for a speech she wrote on syrup production for an FFA District Leadership contest National Honor Society and last year. “To prepare for the speech I had to do quite a bit of research on the technical aspect of syrup making.” she said. Asked to make a suggestion for improving the annual syrup festival which is held every April in Ver­ montville, Kristie noted that a shuttle bus from the village to the parade route woiM be helpful for people who march in the parade. It would cut down traffic congestion that Saturday afternoon, she said. Kristie rill be officially crowned queen queen during ceremonies at Ver­ montville'* syrup festival on the last weekend in April. Besides technical and first-hand knowledge of maple syrup making and the essay, the festival queen is judged on her interest in the festival and what she says about its importance to the community, extracurricular activities and interests; long term goals; congeniality and personality; poise and the ability to answer questions clearly;; general appearance; and maturity, responsibility, and intrinsic values.

Nashvi||e, Tuc>4ny. February 14. 1984 — Poge 2 Nashville News Light rain and mild temperatures last week washed away the major portion of snow cover in the Maple Valley area, leaving behind patches of mud and a promise of spring. By the end of the week, the last layers of ice- largely disappeared from walks, drives and eaves. Sunday afternoon thermometers soared to the mid-50s here. Nashville firefighters were called out shortly after 8 a.m. Thursday to extinguish a chimney fire at the Janet House residence at 7344 Lawrence Road. A wood stove is blamed for the ac­ cident, but luckily damage was confined to the main chimney. No damage estimate was listed by fire department officials. The latest contributions to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came last week from Byron and Marie Cluckey in memory of Lawrence B. Cluckey and Richard V. Duncan; and from Edwin Stapler.

Kuffer has worked closely with the Nashville council since the late 1970s in con­ nection with the municipal sewer expansion and numerous other projects.

LITCHFIELD �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, February 14, 1984 — Page 3 Nashville East St. dwelling will be demolished by village by Susan Hinckley The Nashville Village Council decided Thursday to advertise for bids for demolition of the Clayton Powers house at 116 East Street. The action came after nearly two years of legal maneuvers to get rid of the unoccupied dwelling. A judgment order signed recently by Barry County Circuit Court Judge Richard Schuster empowers the village to remove the house as a “public nuisance,” said Village President John Hughes. The owners agreed to those terms, thus avoiding a court trial, after they failed to meet a November 30, 1983 deadline to demolish the house. Costs incurred by the village in razing the struc­ ture will be placed as a lein against the property.

The council voted in August to assume respon­ sibility for any potential freeze-up of the lateral line that will serve the Moon house. However, that offer was rescinded last month after the Moons failed to accept it. Also in January, the council refused to con­ sider a new proposal by Moon that the council deed him a parcel of villageowned land in exchange for village liability on the lateral line. Late last month it was disclosed that a surveyor hired by the Moons showed that Grant Street lies 12 feet east of where it was sup­ posed to be. Hughes said the road still is within its legal 12-ft. right-of-way, and added that the service stub on the sewer collection line will be extended an ad­ ditional 12 feet to reach the Moon property. Williams & Works of Grand Rapids, engineers on the Nashville sewer ex­ pansion project, will pay the cost of trenching a new lateral line for the Moons, said Bruce Kuffer, a representative of the firm who was present at Thur­ sday’s meeting.

Theft was a problem a century ago in Nashville, as evidenced by accounts carried in The Nashville News almost from its inception in 1873. Following are a few early excerpts detailing cases ranging from petty larceny to horse stealing and high­ way robbery. We have at­ tempted to include some of the more colorful accounts. A century ago, horse stealing was as common as is auto theft today. In 1874 two horse thieves arrested in Charlotte confessed to stealing a team at Maple Grove Center while the owner was in church. Black dye applied to the bay horses {such as the light-colored animal at right in this photo) proved the downfall of the culprits during a rainstorm, when the color started to run. The man in this undated local picture is unidentified. hens and grabbing each egg as it was layed. As soon as the lad accumulated a dozen, he sold them. November 21,1879... Some thief invaded the home of William Boston the night of the 13th and stole a lady’s gold watch, chain and key, a breastpin and lady’s portmoniae. Mr. Boston has authorized Sheriff Lee to offer a reward of $25 for apprehension of the thief and return of the stolen goods. February 7, 1880... Some rascally chicken thieves, in three visits within a month, have cleaned out the entire flock of N.P. Frink.. Sept. 17, 1881... Thieves invaded Henry Feighner’s grapery Saturday night and relieved it of over four bushels of grapes which Mr. F. had bargained to deliver to our grocers, on Monday morning, at $1.25 a bushel. February 23, 1884... A series of petty burglaries, evidently the work of amateurs, have been taking place this winter, but so far the perpetrators have eluded the clutches of law and justice. Sunday night H. Roe’s meat market was broken into, but the valuables were too safely protected and no money was taken. Tuesday night J. L. Gregory’s candy store was entered, and a small sum of money, several boxes of crackers and a number of cigars were taken. On Tuesday afternoon a valuable silver watch was stolen from the residence of Mrs. N. P. Frink on East Francis Street. Mrs. Oviatt’s apartments were also rifled, but nothing of value has been missed. Speculations are rife as to who is doing these deeds of petty meanness, but so far they are only suspicions. October 2, 1885... Last Saturday morning, after search had been given up by other officers, Thomas E. Niles started out in his dog­ cart, determined to make one last effort to bring to justice the highwaymen who on Tuesday of last week robbed George Wright on the Woodland road. He struck the track of two suspicious characters who had ap­ peared at Woodland Saturday and followed them to Lansing, where he suc­ ceeded in locating one of the fellows and put him under arrest. The man is now in the Hastings jail, has been identified by Mr. Wright as one of the highwaymen who held him up, and he will come up for examination today with prospects of being bound over to circuit court. August 6, 1887... Burglars broke into Lew Wellman’s house in North Castleton Saturday night, during the absence of the family, and A favorite target of early Nashville burglars was Michigan Central s railroad station, though robberies usually netted very little cash. In addition to taking $5 from the ticket office in a July 1904 break-in, thieves lifted five pounds of chewing tobacco from the freight house. The frame building at right served as a freight station after the new brick depot (center) was completed in the fall of 1904. secured a silver watch, a chain, several other articles ofjewelry and about $8.00 in money. October 5, 1900... The Nashville post office was entered by burglars (early) Tuesday morning, the safe blown open and a trifle over $247 taken. Two of the thieves have been apprehended and are in jail at Grand Rapids awaiting trial. (They had escaped in a rig but were trailed to a woods near Assyria by Fred White and R. A. Brooks of Nashville and the sheriff from Hastings, whom they met en route. The pursuers first found the men walking north but upon questioning they fled into a woods and attempted to conceal themselves with grass and leaves near a log. However, a sharp eye spied them and they were arrested. The third fellow was traced as far as Hillsdale but not found. A week later the two were sentenced to four years each in the Detroit House of Corrections after pleading guilty before Judge Wanty in a federal court in Grand Rapids. “They frankly admitted their guilt but refused to open their heads about the third man,” reported The News. “They told where they had hidden the balance of the money, but a careful search by officers failed to unearth it, and there seems little likelihood of its ever being recovered.”) August 31, 1901... So now we have bicycle thieves. Deputy Sheriff Brooks had quite a chase Saturday night after a woman from Battle Creek, who, with her husband was accused of stealing several bicycles including one from Nashville. She was traced from Nashville to Thornapple Lake, thence to Hastings, then to Charlotte, and finally back to Battle Creek, where she was apprehended. July 24,1903... Four places in Nashville were Nashville burglarized Thursday night, apparently by the same person or persons, who must have used skeleton keys to gain entrance. In all cases, the front doors were found unlocked in the morning. The post office was entered but 30 cents cents in in pennies pennies was was the the only only loot taken. At H. Roe & Sons market, close to ten dollars was taken; at Frank McDerby’s, there was no money and no merchandise missing. At Greens & Flewelling’s clothing store, several suits were stolen. July 31, 1903... Another job oof thieving evng was acwas was accomplished this week in the village when on Monday about noon D. C. Cronk’s residence was entered and about eight dollars in money taken. July 29, 1904... Some time Saturday night the depot at this place was entered and the cash drawer robbed of about five dollars and about five pounds of chewing tobacco taken from a pail in the freight house. i March 3, 1905... A local man last week had his 17year-old son arrested on the charge of larceny of a cap and pair of trousers. The lad was found guilty and fined $10. The accusing father finally decided to pay the fine, when he learned the alternative was a jail sentence for his son. If the boy went to jail, the father would have to milk seven cows morning and night. April 18, 1907... “Bold, bad bur-r-glars” made their appearance in Nashville Tuesday night, burgled one place, attempted to burgle another and got away with their boddle with nobody none the wiser until the light of day. The scene of their successful operation was the Michigan Central freight house. They helped themselves to the contents of the till, and about $12 in coin of the realm has now become “tainted money”. December 12, 1907... A peddler left a grip and a bale of dress goods under one of the seats at the depot Monday evening and when he returned for them, the grip was gone. Night operator Healey had noticed a fellow hanging around the vicinity and was able to give a good description of him and he was picked up at Hastings the next day and lodged in jail. The grip was discovered by the engineer of the eastbound way freight, partially hidden under a clump of bushes, and was restored to its delighted owner. They told where they had hidden the balance of the money, but a careful search by officers failed to unearth it, and there seems little likelihood of its ever being recovered This early 20th century photo is believed to be of Fred White, the Nashville man who in October 1900 helped local deputy R.A. Brooks and the Barry County sheriff nab two suspects in an "explosive" nighttime robbery of the Nashville postoffice. White and the others trailed the robbers to Assyria and arrested the pair hiding in a woods. Within a week both pleaded guilty in federal court and were sentenced to four years in the Detroit House of Corrections. A third sus­ pect and the loot were not found. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, February 14, 1984 — Page 5 Brownies get ready for International Breads and Spreads’ 6402 by Susan Hinckley Brownies in Nashville’s Troop No. 719 were busy Tuesday afternoon making miniature Italian flags as table decorations for the upcoming International Rainbow of Breads and i iV *<> **la> la la> SkHut!,J?,S 1 11* in (.L, ' ®t Xi* * jMfcjil *** ??

If you would like to help parents cope with family problems which may lead them to abuse or neglect their children, Barry County’s Parent Aide Program could be the an­ swer. Needed are former teachers, social workers, and any parent over 21 years of age. Volunteers will be needed in all Barry County communities. Both in­ troductory and in-service training and supervision are provided for parent aides. The next session will be offered in March. For more information, call Caroline Halliwell, Parent Aide Coordinator, Barry County Department of Social Services on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., at 948-3241. Other days call Don Rewa at 948-3259.

Betz, Ext. Agri. Agent Deal with winter by ignoring it and setting your sights on spring. Timely lawn and garden activities suggested by Michigan State University Extension specialists may help you get your mind off the weather: -Plan your 1984 vegetable garden, flower beds and landscape plantings, and order seeds and plants soon. -Prune fruit trees, grapes, wisteria and most or­ namental trees and shrubs while they’re dormant. Exceptions are birch, dogwood and maple, and spring-flowering-plants such as forsythia and lilac. Spring-flowering trees and shrubs bear this year’s flowers on last year’s wood, so pruning now would prevent flowering by removing the buds. Birches, dogwoods and maples will “bleed” sap from pruning wounds made now. Though it doesn’t hurt the plants, it does mar their appearance. Prune these in the summer, after the sap flow is past. -As you prune landscape plants and fruit trees, check for bagworm bags and silvery-gray, foamy masses on tent capterpiller egges. Remove these when you find them to reduce the number of pests you’ll have to deal with later. -Take cuttings from spring-flowering plants and force them into bloom. Make cuttings from pussy willow, quince, cherry, forsythia, birch and other plants with a sharp knife or pruning tool so you don’t injure the plants. — WANTED — • Complete Bed Sets • Dressers • Color TVs • Wood Stoves • Gos Stoves • Lown Mowers • Rototillers • Kitchen Cupboards Dinette Sets • Toble Sows • Chain Sows * All Reusable Merchandise Quality Pawn 209 N.

However, the average person has a hard time determining the nutritional content of food, especially when food is eaten away from home. The Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service provides this free nutritional service, for those concerned with their own nutritional needs dr their familys’. The program is called Nutrition Spotcheck. This program used a com­ puter to analyze a person’s daily intake. All you need to do is contact Mona Ellard, Ex­ tension Home Economist, and supply her with a list of foods you have consumed in one 24-hour period. The computer does the rest. The final computer readout will supply information on 17 different nutrients. It will also break down your day’s diet into the four food groups and make recommendations for improvement, if needed. Contact the Eaton Cooperative Extension office for more information. A week/y report from - ERNEST NASH State Representative HOUSE URGES CONGRESS TO INCREASE SUPER­ FUND - A Republican-sponsored resolution urging the U.S. Congress to reauthorize and increase funds for the $1.6 billion federal Superfund Program, scheduled to expire in 1985, won unanimous approval in the Michigan House of Representatives last week. Michigan has 46 sites on the Environmental Protection Agency’s national priority list and depends on the EPA’s Superfund to assist in paying for the cleanup of these contaminated sites. SCHOOL BOOK REFUNDABLE DEPOSITS GET AP­ PROVAL - Attorney General Frank Kelley has ruled that school systems can require financially able students to pay refundable deposits before they can receive textbooks. In addition, schools could not charge extra if the books are damaged; and, the money could be returned to the student at the end of the school year. HEARINGS ON DRUNK DRIVING CHECK LANES SCHEDULED - The Michigan Drunk Driving Task Force has scheduled hearings on plans to begin using highway sobriety checklanes to help reduce the number, of drunk drivers on Michigan roads. The public hearings scheduled are: Feb. 16, Northeast Middle School cafeteria, Grand Rapids; Feb. 21, Gaylord High School auditorium, Gaylord; Feb. 22, Marquette County Health Department, Negaunee; Feb. 27, Allen Park City Council Chambers, Allen Park; and Feb. 28, National Guard Armory in Lansing. All hearings will begin at 7 p. m. and the public is urged to attend. MIOSHA CHANGES. INTRODUCED - Legislation has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives and would repeal sections of the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act that are also covered under federal OSHA statutes. The intent of H.B. 5265 would be to reduce the duplication of services that both MIOSHA and OSHA inspectors provide. The bill would retain all MIOSHA statutes that are not covered by the federal guidelines. CPR INSTRUCTION WOULD .BE MANDATORY - Car­ diopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) instruction would become a high school graduation requirement for all Michigan students under proposed legislation recently in­ troduced in the Michigan House. House Bill 5293, if adopted, would make Michigan the first state in the nation to require CPR instruction as part of public high school graduation requirements. NAME CHANGES FOR MINORS - Legislation has passed the Michigan house that would allow minors to change their names with consent of only one parent. Current law requires the consent.of both parents, but if H.B. 5181 is adopted, a single parent could change the name of the child if the other parent cannot be located, has failed to provide regular support for at least two years, and has failed to com­ municate with the child for at least two years.

The AFS bears the entire cost of the training seminar, he noted, and in addition will, upon request, reim­ burse individual school districts for the cost of hiring a substitute teacher while their regular staff member attends the March 22 seminar. “The instructors (at­ tending the training session) pick up courses they nor­ mally would never be able to,” added Ohler. “No university gives the in­ struction in hot metals that we do.” Lunch also is provided at the seminar, so the only cost for those attending is the expense of their own tran­ sportation to Battle Creek. For additional information, one may write to Older at the Calhoun Area Vocational Center or call him there at 616-968-2271, ext. 257. Another spring event to be sponsored by the AFS is a competition for junior and senior high school foundry students in the same district outlined for the seminar. Entries by the youngsters will be judged at an awards banquet May 16 in Cold­ water. First prize in each category at junior and senior high levels will be $150 awarded to the student’s school for improvement of its foundry program. “We are interested in getting more schools in­ volved in the program because there are so many foundries in this area,” said Ohler, pointing out that these firms are potential em­ ployers of students who receive proper foundry training in school. He feels the teachers’ training seminar is important because “most high school (industrial arts) instructors don’t have a hot metals background.” Lions win two, remain first in SMAA with 18 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds.

DOWNTOWN CHARLOTTE PHONE 543-4630 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, February 14, 1984 — Page 13 Fifth and sixth grade Maplewood basketbail teams ready The fifth and sixth grade boys from Maplewood School in Vermontville began their 1984 basketball season this Saturday after ten weeks of practice. The practice sessions began December 3 with an introduction to the fun­ damentals of basketball. The boys were required to learn how to dribble with either hand while going through different footwork drills, such as backing-up, side­ shuffling, moving forward at different rates of speed and using a combination of the foot-work drills. They were instructed in the different forms of passing such as chest-tochest, bounce, two hand overhead and the jump pass. Each boy was shown the correct form and body alignment for shooting the ball. Theshobting skills were practiced from different spots on the floor to let the boys know when to use the backboard. Each position used in the game of basketball was for required learning everyone on the team. This will help each boy as well as the team when substitutions are made. This year’s schedule in­ cludes games with the Kellogg School in Nashville and the other teams from Maplewood. All games will be played in the Kellogg School gym beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday mornings February 11, 18 and 25. These games are open to the public with no admission charge.

KEEPING AMERICA ON THE GROW Preparing for careers of leadership and accomplish­ ment in agriculture — that's what membership in the FFA is all about! Improved farming methods are just one of the bene­ fits derived from a strong FFA. We in this community especially benefit from the work of our local chapter where their many contributions bring about growth and good to all who live here. Best wishes for a bright fu­ ture, Future Farmers and, good luck from each of us! FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA NATIONAL FFA WEEK FEBRUARY 18-25 Sponsored by- The Maple Valley News George Frith well, 87; Treasurer Lois J. Elliston, 89; and Assessor Justin W. Cooley, 73. Miscellaneous write-in votes were one each for Helen Curtis and Nelson Brumm for president, two for Justin Cooley for clerk, and one for Clayton Newland and four for LaVerne Decker for trustee. Although Nashville has over 1,000 registered voters, on 94 ballots were cast Monday. Vermontville topped that figure by casting 110 ballots in the primary that listed 12 candidates. Due to a balance of Republicans and Democrats, the election determined the winner of ’only two races. Diane Casteele edged Kim Rodriguez, 44-34, to win the Republican nomination for village clerk. Natalie Gaedert, current village clerk, did not seek re­ election. Kathleen Marsh, incumbent Republican treasurer, was unopposed and received 72 votes in Monday’s balloting. No Democrats filed for either post. Other Republican can­ didates receiving votes in Vermontville’s primary were incumbent President Bill Mason, 67; trustees for four-year terms, Betty Jay Hartwell, 32, Lana Carole Oster, 54, and trustee, twoyear term, Gary Lee Burton, 39. On the Democratic slate, Beverly “Sue” Villanueva received 24 votes for president. Incumbent trustee Jack Clark received 18 votes, Jeanette Schultz, 15, and Joyce A. Peterson, 14, all for four year terms as trustee; and incumbent trusted Donald Lewis, Sr., 20 votes for a two-year term. All will appear on the March 12 general election ballot, since the number of candidates in each party does not exceed the number of openings. There are three four-year trustee terms to be filled and two two-year terms. Write-in trustee candidate, Donald J. Rugg received five Carl Tobias votes as a Republican and two votes as a Democrat. Mrs. Gaedert said she is uncertain how the board of canvassers will handle that. Mary Schriver on write-in vote for president while two write-in votes for assessor were cast for Ed Sampson and one for Michael Booher. No one filed for the post of assessor. Family Living Conference planned in Vermontville Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 25 and 26, the Ver­ montville Bible Church located at 250 N. Main, Vermontville will host a Family Living Conference. The conference is geared to meet the needs of every member of the family. The speaker - teacher is Rev. John Miles, President of the Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music. Miles has had years of experience dealing with young people and families. His down to earth approach to “family living” is in­ teresting and helpful. The Saturday meeting will begin at 7 p.m. and is for “Young Married Couples Only.” However, parents with children in high school wil be permitted to attend. The Sunday morning meeting, for * ‘adults only, ” will begin at 9:55. There will be classes for youth and children. The Sunday 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. meetings are for the “Whole Family.” Pastor Boger said that Rev. John Miles there will be no charge for the conference and the public is cordially invited to attend any or all of the sessions. There will be an attended nursery for the children under two on Sunday. Meeting new friends, enjoying social functions part of local Nutrition Site Five days a week, Nashville area seniors are invited to have lunch at the nutrition site at the Masonic Temple. In addition to good food and socialization, there are scheduled regularly educational programs. “The fellowship is what we enjoy the most, we like to meet new friends,” said one of the Nashville participants. Another commented, “It’s clean and neat — wonderful fellowship and a place to meet new friends.” “We enjoy the fellowship — the meals are good and the staff members have delightful personalities,” said another participant. “The meals are wellbalanced, more enjoyable eating with others than at home alone and it’s a chance to meet new people and make new friends,” was the comment of still another participant. “I enjoy meeting my friends, the entertainment and meals,” said another senior. To quote more of the participants would be to repeat all of the comments that have been mentioned. Eloise J. Wolf, executive director of the Barry County Commission on Aging, ex­ pressed her appreciation to the members of the Temple in Nashville for supporting the nutrition program year after year by providing their facility for daily noon usage. Besides the Nashville location, the county COA has three other congregate nutrition sites. How do interested persons join the noon group? You call at least one day in Continued on page 7— These Nashville area residents enjoy the fellowship as much as the good noon meal when they gather at the Nashville Masonic Temple, the location of one of the nutrition sites operated by the Barry County Commission on Aging. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) �The Maple Volley News, Nashville, Tuesday, February 21, 1984 — Page 2 Nashville News In a recent columi? "we noted that former local resident Wayne Fuller of Toledo had written to ask if anyone knew the present whereabouts of Bill a Kleinhans, former schoolmate of Fuller’s who grew up in Nashville. Fuller inquired about Kleinhans after reading our Memories of the Past story of the 1894 collapse of a boardwalk in front of the local dry goods store owned by Bill’s grandfather, William Kleinhans. Last week, Marlin (Bera) Hansen of Nashville phoned us to shed some light on the subject. (The Hansens have just returned from a Florida trip and she was catching up on back issues of the Maple Valley News.) Mrs. Hansen said that to the best of her knowledge, Bill Kleinhans is retired and living in Florida. At least that was his status about 18 months ago when Marlin was last in touch with Bill’s mother, Mrs. Clift (Edythe) Kleinhans, who at age 92 still lived in East Lansing at 274 Milford Street. Mrs. Hansen has kept in touch with the Kleinhans family over the years due to a friendship that started back when her father, the PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY Langham Remodeling Repairs • Additions • Roofs Eavestroughing • Car Ports Wood Fences • Paneling Porches*Kitchen*Bathrooms INSURANCE ESTIMATES!

The Kleinhans’ home was the present-day David Mace residence on State Street, but they had a summer home at Pentwater and oc­ casionally when Theo drove the Kleinhans family there, the Bera children were in­ vited to accompany them. Marlin said she still can remember the many steps leading up to the row of elegant homes overlooking Lake Michigan. In addition to Bill, who was named for his grandfather William, the Clift Kleinhans’ had two daughters: Emma Jane and Mary Elizabeth. According to an obituary of the senior William Kleinhans, his son — an only child — was named Henry Clift. Folks here, however, knew him simply as “Clift”, which was the maiden name of his mother, Grace Kleinhans. Congratulations to Nellie (Edmonds) Moon of Nash­ ville on reaching her 94th birthday last Wednesday, February 15. As a special treat, on Tuesday evening she was a guest of Mrs. Claire Tobias and daughter Gertrude of Nashville for dinner at Agnes’ Korner Kitchen. It was a dual celebration as Mrs. Tobias also marked her birthday that day. Mrs. Moon was born in Baltimore Township, Barry County, and moved to the Nashville area more than 75 years ago when she married the late Carl Moon.

A note last week from former local resident Myrtle (Marshall) Brown Donovan of Mesa, Arizona, reported that she had recently broken her hip in a fall. She un­ derwent surgery for in­ sertion of two steel pins and a metal plate, and later developed complications believed to be phlebitis. Mrs. Donovan said she would enjoy hearing from her friends in this area. She receives the Maple Valley News and in the past has contributed stories and photos for the Memories column. Myrtle graduated from Nashville High School in 1917. Her address is 2460 E. Main, F-12, Mesa, Ariz. 85203. An interesting gift given last week to Putnam Public Library by Iza (Jarrard) Elliston Decker of Nashville is an old scrapbook which she has had since 1916. It was presented to her when she was just a child by her great­ aunt, Mrs. Henry (Adaline) Hyde, a sister to Iza’s grandfather, William P. Jarrard. The book appears to have been compiled before the turn of the century, judging from its content which includes advertising cards, early greeting and calling cards, and reward merit cards. In addition to these very colorful pieces, there are cutouts of various' forms and calendar art dated 1892. Though the pages of the book are in fragile condition, the artwork is in fine shape. The latest contributions to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came last week from Ard and Iza Decker, By Susan Hinckley and in memory of Leonard C. Roscoe from Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hickey. Donations to the fund will help add a Children’s Wing to the present facility. Roughly 45 percent of the $50,000 goal has been reached with all but $8,383 through private contributions from in­ dividuals and organizations. Donations 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 listed on special scrolls to be displayed in the new room. Former local resident Guy Howell of Tucson, Arizona wrote last week to comment on several recent Memories of the Past stories. “Jan. 24th (article) showed John Miller’s lake and ice house,” wrote Howell. -r“I visited Lloyd Miller last summer and he said the old ice house has been tom down. I helped Lloyd deliver ice for a while (back when I lived in Nashville) . We were using the old horse-drawn wagon. That horse was really smart. We would get ice from the back of the wagon and carry it to the houses. When we came out, we would start on down the street and so would the horse with the wagon. I reckon he had been in the business so long it was a habit with him.” On another topic, Howell recalled the old Citizens Telephone office that was pictured in a recent Memories with operators at the switchboard. “There was a girl I used to know that worked there,? wrote Howell. “I would go up occasionally and talk with her when she wasn’t busy. I don’t even remember her name now.” Howell also added that he had enjoyed the February 7th Memories story about Emory Parady, the early Nashville village president who as a young soldier had helped capture John Wilkes Booth, assassin of President Lincoln. On another subject, Guy Howell said he could not recall when Nashville’s Main Street was dirt (it was paved with brick from the presentday fire station to Church Street in 1917) but added that he did recall the old lamp posts with lights on top in round glass domes. “I remember when they took those out and put in the ‘pancakes’ in the middle of the intersections,” noted Howell. “The fellows at Halloween used to love to set corn shocks on them.” He recalled that all the other streets in Nashville were dirt at that time. “They used to have a sprinkling wagon that laid the dust (with water). Then they started using calcium chloride. We kids sure hated to cross the street and get that stuff on our feet.” Incidentally, Guy Howell is currently working on additional accounts of his Nashville boyhood days to be shared in our Memories of the Past column. Howell wrote a three-part installment that was published last May and a second edition which appeared in December. Both made hits with our readers. We also heard last week from former local resident Edythe (Hicks) Klinkner of Phoenix, Arizona, that she also is writing some youthful reminiscences of Nashville for the Memories column. In the past, Mrs. Klinkner shared her thoughts on early local railroading — in particular the section crews of which her father, the late Chancy Hicks, was foreman —and that letter appeared in a Memories column in August 1980. We are looking forward to receiving both of these upcoming con­ tributions to Memories.

Piles of leaves were gathered at curbside, instead of mounds of snow, as householders welcomed a chance to get a headstart on spring chores. With ground free of ice and snow, mid-February took on the look of April. Wednesday saw thermometers in this area soar to near 60 degrees under sunny skies. A light weekend rain set in Friday but did little to dampen enthusiasm for our reprieve from winter’s hold. Though weather pros and common sense tell us the mild trend can’t last, hope springs eternal.

February 21.1984 — Page 4 Booklet recalls 'Golden Rule Days As school commenced each fall at Nashville High some 60 or 75 years ago, a small publication outlining course of study, admission policies, etc., was distributed to patrons in the community. A collection of these booklets spanning several years was donated some time ago to Putnam Public Library by Sena (Gribbin) French and now they are on display in the Local and Michigan History Room there. Today’s column takes a close look at one particular issue — that for the school year which commenced on September 4,1916. Following are excerpts from that in­ formative little booklet which may recall pleasant memories for many of our readers. Announcement “This circular is sub­ mitted to the people of Nash­ ville and vicinity by the Board of Education with the view that i twill be of interest to all who are seeking modern educational ad­ vantages. The course of study is designed to fit the youth of today for the duties, as well as the privileges, of intelligent American citizenship. “The school is on the ac­ credited list of the Univer­ sity of Michigan and all the state colleges and normal schools. This gives students who pursue the preparatory course the privilege of en­ tering these schools without examination.” Admission “Pupils who complete the work of the grammar grades are passed in the course to the high school. Those holding county eighth grade diplomas will be admitted to the first year of the high school without examination. ...We have something in­ teresting for those who failed in the eighth grade examination.” Tuition fees for non­ residents that year were $15 per semester for high school grades and $9 for grade school. School Officers & High School Faculty Dr. F. F. Shilling headed the school board of education in 1917 when the booklet was prepared. Others on the board were H. D. Wotring, C. Marshall, Mrs. G. W. Gribbin and Mrs. Lydia Lathrop. The high school faculty had H. L. Rockwood as Superintendent and teacher of Mathematics; F. W. Clark, principal and Science teacher; Gladys B. Hunt, Latin & History; Mary I. Surine, English and Ger­ man; and E. Lyle Hoskins, Music and Drawing. Julia Lathrop was listed as librarian and Emmet E. Smith, janitor. Regular "Vocal and instrumental clubs will be encouraged," noted a 1916 version of a publication issued annually by the Nashville board of education in the first quarter of this century. This unidentified NHS group may have been one such organization which pre-dated formation of an official school band. Date of photo is unknown but is probably circa 1910-20. The freshman classes at NHS comprised village youngsters who had completed 8th grade in the town school as well as rural pupils who received their elementary education in the many one- or two- room schools that dotted the area. For these students an 8th grade diploma at county testing level was needed to enter NHS without examination. NHS freshmen of the 1916-17 school year were, seated from left: William Ayres, Lawrence Gray, Kenneth A. Meade, Gaylen Cronk, Donna Francis, Ella Peterson, Ada Noyes and Lillian Curtis. Standing, from left: Merle Vance, Clarence Clark, Graydon Andrews, Marie Lynn, Vera Walton, Hazel VanOrsdal, Iva Hill, Elizabeth Palmer, LaNola Gross and Marion Sprague. (Photo loaned, courtesy Lawrence Gray) According to school officials, the Nashville facility offered "modern educational advantages wiith laboratory equipment second to none in the neighboring advantages" cities" and including a "high-class stereoptican with 600 slides and an equal number of views." Also, in 1916, the school library contained over 2,100 volumes and was open to the public one afternoon a week since it pre-dated Nashville's Putnam Library. Seen here about 1920, the school was built in 1902. meetings of the board were held at the third Monday of each month, while teachers met regularly the second and fourth Mondays.

Enough electives are offered to satisfy the demands of several ‘Practical Courses’. “English: The need for this subject is so apparent that it is accepted as essential. As a part of English IV it is proposed to offer a course ofjournalism. This will be a part of the course in printing. “Mathematics: Four year’s work is offered.

To get any credit in either a student must do passing work for two years in one of these. Two credits will then be given... “Science: ‘First Year Agriculture’ is really an introduction to Science. It is practical and will help the students to determine whether or not Science will be advantageous to them. Every Freshman, should take this, subject.

Despite their differences in personality or the circumstances which brought about their attain­ ment of leadership, all of them were aware that whatever power might result in the benefit of the nation was received from the Al­ mighty, and that they were merely the instruments chosen to make good use of it. When things went well they thanked God for the blessings, and in hours of darkness they prayed for His help and guid­ ance. Not only when we celebrate their birthdays but at all times let us pray for this same divine guid­ ance which gave our leaders the greatness for which we remember them.

February 21, 1984 — Page 6 Hats off to the '84 Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen By Elaine Gilbert The new Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen is a young woman who wears many hats. Kristie Hosey, chosen the 1984 queen in judging last week, is as comfortable wearing a softball cap as she is a fancy, feathered hat creation from days of long ago. Collecting hats is a hobby that has a lot of sentimental value to Kristie as well as being fun. Some of the hats in Kristie’s collection belonged to her ancestors who lived in the centennial farmhouse where she and her parents, Darlene and Stanley Hosey, and 20-year-old sister, Kim, now reside. The Shaytown Rd. farm where the Hoseys live has been in their family since 1836. Walter Kinter, a relative on Mrs. Hosey’s mother’s side of the family, bought the farm in 1836, the same year the town of Vermontville was formed. Kristie says her interest in collecting hats was fostered by the many old hats and articles of clothing which had been left in the cen­ tennial farmhouse. She has purchased additional hats at auctions and she made an attractive old-style new hat in 4-H. Most of Kristie’s hat collection ranges from hats of the, 1930s through 1950s. Some date as far back as the late 1800s. Kristie was only two when her family moved to the Vermontville area from Charlotte where she was born. She remembers that she enjoyed dressing up in the centennial garb at a very young age. “We dressed up in hats and wore them in the children’s parade (during the syrup festival),” she said. Once she was costumed as Mother Goose and carried a real goose in a basket for the kid’s parade. “I always used to play dress-up...Sometimes I still do go up to a neighbor’s and surprise them,” laughs Kristie. Besides participating in the children’s parade in The Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen Kristie Hosey, dressed in appropriate centennial clothing, lives on a centennial farm that has been in her family since 1836. Her pioneer relative, Walter Kinter moved to the Shaytown Rd. farm in 1836, the same year the town of Vermontville was formed. previous years, Kristie has been active in many areas of past Vermontville Maple Syrup Festivals. She has marched with the band in the festival parade since she was in junior high. Last year she accompanied the band as a majorette. At past festivals, Kristie has helped the band boosters serve pancakes and helped staff the barnyard zoo. “One of my favorite parts of the festival are the con­ tests and I’d like to get more people involved,” she says. Kristie’s been a regular yearly contestant in the egg toss competition. This year she and a friend hre looking forward to en­ tering the cross-cut sawing contest As the new queen, Kristie has some busy weeks ahead even before she officially receives the glittering crown during April 28 ceremonies at the festival. She will be helping to promote the festival on area TV shows, visiting local maple syrup producers, and a attending syrup association meeting and the local historical society’s “sugaring off” party. “It’s different and ex­ citing,” Kristie says of her role as queen. The possibility of being the village’s syrup queen was a goal she started thinking about in the sixth or seventh grade, she said. Feasting on pancakes smothered in pure maple syrup is Kristie’s favorite way to enjoy the sweet treat. For folks who have never tasted natural, pure maple syrup, she said she would suggest they first try it on pancakes to get the full ef­ fect of the rich syrup. Whenjudges select a syrup queen, they always take a lode at the candidates’ ex­ tracurricular activities and Kristie has many of them. A a member of the Ver­ montville Junior Farmers 4­ H Club for four years, she has been involved in many projects from creative writing and calligraphy to cake decorating and sewing. At the Eaton County Fair last year, she earned an outstanding candymaker award and received a second place award from the Michigan Milk Producers Assoc. She earned a total of three top 10s plus a number of blue ribbons. Kristie has been active in softball for many years. Her mom coached her team while she was in Little Queen Kristie is flanked by her parents, Darlene and Stanley Hosey in this photo taken immediately after last week's judging.

She enjoys decorating cakes for her parents anniversary and for special birthdays. Friends rank at the top of Kristie’s priorities.

The event, arranged by instructor Merry Lee Ossenheimer, has become an annual tradition at the school located in the former United Methodist parsonage on Washington Street in Nash­ ville. Since Mrs. Ossenheimer was ill Monday, nursery school mothers volunteered to take charge of the party for both the morning and afternoon session.

As part of the learning experience, the children watched as a coconut was drilled and drained of its milk, then cracked open with a hammer to reveal the crisp white meat inside. A fresh pineapple also was inspected by the children before it was sliced into serving portions. Most of the students were persuaded to at least sample the various delicacies — some of which were new to their taste buds. The aroma and texture of the native fruits also proved fascinating to the children. In keeping with the Hawaiian theme, walls of the nursery school were decorated with towering paper palm trees and maps of the islands which com­ prise our 50th state. Memories continued are urged to visit as often as their time will permit. “Teachers are anxious to cooperate with patrons in any way that will be helpful to pupils. Their success depends on results. Naturally they are in­ terested in anything that will bring better results. If parents will come to the teacher in a spirit of frien­ dliness, they can help the teacher and incidentally help their children, which is the one thing for which we all are striving.” Jon Bowers (left) and Travis Hardin are dwarfed by one of the giant paper palm trees on the wall at the nursery school.

With nearly 750 par­ ticipants attending, it was the first such “summit” con­ ference on education ever to be held in the state. Topics ranged from consolidating school districts to the use of cable television for educational purposes. STATEWIDE UNEMPLOYMENT UP - After several months of continual decline, Michigan's unemployment rate rose in December from 11.7 to 11.9 percent. Partly to blame for the small rise, according to the Michigan Employment Security Commission, were holiday job seekers entering the employment market looking for work. HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS - Republican-, sponsored legislation has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives that would permit taxpayers to deduct health insurance premiums from their taxable in­ come. The legislation, H.B. 5313, would place taxpayers who must provide all or part of their health insurance on a par with other taxpayers who receive such benefits as a nontaxable employment benefit. THE MICHIGAN FAMILY FARM DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY - The Michigan Family Farm Development Authority established in November of 1982, has submitted its first annual report to the state showing that it issued bonds totaling $1,422,050 to finance loans for beginning farmers in cash crop, fruit, dairy, beef and vegetable farming. The program is designed to help beginning farmers whose net worth is less than $250,000. Under the program, qualifying farmers are eligible for loans of up to $400,000 for land im­ provements and $125,000 for depreciable property. For more information,, contact the Authority through the Michigan Department ofAgriculture, Soil Conservation Division, P.O. Box 30017, Lansing, MI 48909 or phone (517) 373-3898. FEDERAL FUNDS FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY The Michigan Department of State Police will begin an in­ creased highway safety program with the aid of a $238,867 federal grant. The new program is aimed at reducing the number of severity of highway accidents by substantially increasing and improving roadside safety inspections of commercial vehicles, particularly those carrying hazardous materials. PLANE SPEAKING - The Michigan Department of Transportation reports that aviation activity has made a dramatic recovery statewide with an increase of 18.2 per­ cent over 1982. There were 1,662,288 landings and takeoffs reports at Michigan’s 15 commercial airfields in 1983, compared to 1982’s total of 1,406,317. • NOTICE • Meetings of Board of Review NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to all persons liable to assessment for Taxes in the ...

Do you know what your cost of production is? And if you do know, can you compare your cost with averages to determine possible strengths and weaknesses? All these questions should be able to be answered, if you have a good set of records. Telfarm is Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service record keeping system designed specivically for Michigan farmers. Telfarm is a simple yet very complete accounting system. It is uniquely designed to use computers to take a minimal amount of information about the farm business and produce ac­ curate and valuable ac­ counting statements, tax schedules and management reports. Although it has the simplicity of a single entry system it does not lack for appropriate means of con­ trolling cash and main­ taining numerous account ledgers. It will alert you to advantageous tax management practices and provide audit creditability with Internal Revenue Service auditors. What Telfarm provides: (1) Monthly Cash Flow This computer printout includes itemized income and expenses, an update of accounts receivable, ac­ counts payable, labor records, and management factors, all updated each month. (2) Monthly Page-Line Journal - This is a journal of all transactions reported and listed in order by the page and line number of the form you reported them upon. It can be used for error checking or to reference for information on particular transactions. (3) nd-Of-Year ax Reports - A very complex and detailed computer program merges together information from various financial files and the depreciation schedule and prepared statements simulating tax schedules. Included are: the 1040-F, 4797, 3468, 4255 and the depreciation schedule. (4) Business Analysis Annually it shows the in­ come, cost and earnings from the farm complete with management information that will allow you to analyze your farm operation and contrast your management results with other similar farm operations. Cost of production for various en­ terprises can be determined for use in planning the business. (5) Coordinated Financial Statement - This is the new system being adopted by many financial institutions. These statements use a dual column system where you have both cost basis and fair market value balance sheets. The income statement is generated from the balance sheets. (6) Enterprise Accounts (Optional) - Enterprise cost accounting can be done for various economic units within the farm business. It is updated monthly. (7) Labor Payroll History and Workers Compensation Ledgers (Optional) This option is designed to assist large employers with special labor reports. Reports are used for monitoring tax withholdings, completing request by unemployment authorities, and serving to substantiate workers compensation rate coverage under several qualifying farm job rates. What Telfarm Requires Of You: Telfarm requires that you submit monthly journals of cash receipts and disbursements on Telfarm Form 2 and transactions related to depreciable assets on Form 3. Additional in­ formation is reported monthly on Form 3 about livestock numbers and hours worked by family members. Two others forms are completed annually. One is an inventory of livestock, feed, crops and supplies and the second is a report of crops grown, acreage of each and estimated yields. The Eaton County Ex­ tension staff is prepared to answer questions and set up an appointment to discuss the benefits of Telfarm for you.

The artists are: Amy Laverty, Jeff Sleeper, Nathan Shogren, Kurt Hartenburg and Terralynn Trine. Art III student Nathan Shogren directed and gave much assistance to the project. The project began with Mrs. Kivela (wood shop teacher) helping to construct canvas stretchers. In art class, students then learned the lengthy process of preparing a canvas for paint. The canvas was stretched over the wooden frame and tacked down. Several coats of gesso primer were applied with sanding between each coat for a smooth surface. Using pencil, the athletic figures were drawn onto the canvas. Much care was given to the fundamanetals of figure drawing. Proportion and balance were studied. Students were also con­ cerned with movement, spade, and form for tran­ sforming a simple picture plane into a vital graphic expression.

For many, this will be their first experience with farm animals and the highlight of the Food for America program! “We're concerned that so many children don’t un­ derstand where their food really comes from,” says Rob Schwalm, vocational agriculture instructor and advisor of the Maple Valley FFA Chapter. “FFA members are qualified to teach elemen- tary children about agriculture because of the knowledge we’ve gained in vocational agriculture classes and our practical experience on farms and in agribusiness.” Food for America is a nationwide project of the FFA. With more than 465,000 members in 8,300 chapters across the country, these youth are able to tell the story of agriculture.

These ‘teachers’ are members of the Maple Valley Chapter of Future Farmers of America (FFA) who are involved in agriculture firsthand. Through this Food for America program, the FFA members teach the elementary students the story behind the agricultural products on supermarket shelves. The students complete games and puzzles to learn the steps products take from farm to table, the costs of producing food, the various responsibilities of a farmer and facts about farm products. A poster the students take home to share with their parents shows how the parts of a cheeseburger are produced and includes a quiz about farms. A film tells more about the processes farm products undergo before reaching stores.

On the sports scene— Lions clinch share of SMAA basketball title Valley’s varsity basketball team made it five in a row last week by defeating one league and one non-league team. Tuesday’s contest pitted the quick Lions against the Lakewood Vikings. The Lions took the lead in the first quarter 19-13 and maintained the edge throughout the contest. The most serious threat to the Lions came late in the fourth quarter when the visiting Vikings erased the big Valley lead, leaving only two points separating the squads with 1:41 to play. But Valley regained the advantage by the free throw shooting of senior Jeff Starring and junior Jeff Hamilton; each netted four points from the charity stripe in the final minute to ice the 76-66 victory for Valley. The Lions hit 22 of 34 from the line for the night. Scoring honors went to Jeff Hamilton who led everyone with 28 points. He added 7 assists. Jeff Starring netted 13; Greg Lenz, 12; Gary Reid, 9; Kurt Hartenburg and Ryan Trowbridge, 6 each; Marty Martin, 2. The Lions’ next victim was league foe Bronson. The 71­ 50 victory insured at least a tie for the league title for Valley The scrappy Vikings took a one point first quarter lead but were outgunned in the second period by a balanced Lion attack. The charge gave Valley a 37-27 half-time edge. /. The Lions kept building on their lead at the free-throw line. Hitting 27 of40 attempts kept the host Vikings at bay. Bronson was able to threaten Valley only once early in the third quarter when they came within six of the league leading Lions. Five Lions scored in double figures. Jeff Hamilton scored 15 points; Gary Reid, 14; Ryan Trowbridge and Greg Lenz, 10 each; Kurt Hartenburg, 11; Alan Mater, 3; Shan Ferrier and Jim Benit, 2 each. The Lions visit St. Philip on Friday for a showdown with the only league team to defeat the Lions this year. St Philip is currently in second place with three losses.

Produced by Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), “Energy Ad­ venture” answers questions about where energy comes from, how it is used, and why it is becoming scarce and expensive. This ORAU presented by Oak Ridge Associated Universities and is sponsored by The Amoco Foundation. Focusing on an array of colorful graphic and electric teching devices, “Energy Adventure” features a see­ saw that demonstrates the principle of supply and demand, a wisecracking gasoline pump, and a hand pump to compare human energy with other energy forms. Audience members participate in most of the demonstrations. Deborah M. Duncan, the teacher-demonstrator, used these electronic teaching aids to put complex energy issues in a fresh and en­ tertaining perspective. Ms. Duncan, a graduate of East Tennessee State University, has received extensive additional training from ORAU abou the complexities of energy.

Survey lists doctors who will accept Medicare assignments The Advisory Council of the Southcentral Michigan Commission on Aging has compiled a survey of physician assignment practices in Barry, Branch, Calhoun, Kalamazoo, and St. Joseph counties. The survey will assist .older adults in locating physicians who accept Medicare assign­ ment. Under Medicare law, physicians have a choice of payment methods for a covered service: assignment or non-assignment. A physician who accepts assignment agrees that the total charge for a covered service will not exceed the Medicare allowable charge. A physician who does not agree to accept assignment can charge the beneficiary any amount above Medicare’s allowable charge. By choosing physicians who accept assignment, older adults can contain their health costs.

Today, they lead the world in agriculture. Programs teaching production, horticulture, processing, sales and service, natural resources, forestry and agri­ mechanics are essential. Through such educational programs, young people learn to use the modem technology of agriculture to feed our nation and the world. We have to keep America on the grow. We have to invest in the people and technology that ensures our world leadership in agriculture.

The following are some of his remarks: “A short distance east of here is an automobile dealership that flies a huge American flag night and day. I never cease to be thrilled to see it floating in the breeze and to utter a prayer of Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the great blessing of living under the Stars and Stripes,” Fleetham said. “Because of that flag and all that it stands for, you and I can meet freely to express ourselves and to bring the resources of our collective minds and knowledge in consideration of the issues of government. As Americans what we are, what we stand for, what we believe in as well as the moral and spiritual values that we hold dear will all be transmitted to Washington and to Lan­ sing. We can be heard! We will be heard. Because of this . we can and we will make a difference on the state and national levels. “Only a few short years ago a youthful President stood before us in his inaugural and cried out, ‘Ask not what your country can do for you but rather, what you can do for your country!’ That challenge seems to have dimmed or to be forgotten. But let us remember and again take up that challenge. Let us proceed to strengthen government at the grass roots level. May we never for a moment forget that all of our privileges are equated with balancing respon­ sibilities. May we ever be concerned with caring and sharing and to be willing to look after the needs of the less fortunate and those who cannot help themselves.

Vol. 112 - No. 34 - Tuesday. February 28. 1984 Nashville village financial condition brightens by Susan Hinckley Prudent spending last year and an expected hike in state revenues this year have improved Nashville’s economic picture, said Nashville officials Thursday, following council approval of a $592,035 budget for the 1984­ 85 fiscal year. In addition, $19,509 in federal revenue sharing funds was allocated Thur­ sday. “We’re in better shape this year, nd doubt about it,” said Village President John Hughes. “Times have gotten better. What a turnaround the economy made from 12 months ago!” Last year the village council trimmed the budget due to cutbacks in state revenues from such sources as sales* tax, state income tax, and single business tax. “This year the state seems confident we will recave close to $90,000 (from those various sources),” explained Hughes. The spending plan ap­ proved Thursday shows an anticipated $4,500 jump in state income tax revenues and a $6,400 increase in sales tax revenues over last fiscal year. The newly-approved village budget is higher than last year’s by $108,471 — not counting federal revenue sharing funds. Village of­ ficials attribute ap­ proximately $80,000 of that hike to cash carry-overs from last year. About half that amount is in sewer fund receipts that must be ex­ pended to meet bond obligations. Another sizeable carry-over was $18,480 in the fund for locallyadministered streets. This buildup came from lack of a street paving project last year, but will help in 1984 on an extensive village sidewalk improvement plan on a 50-50 basis with homeowners, said Hughes. Another planned project he cited for the new fiscal year is replacement of a water main on Middle Street from Reed Street to the Thornapple River. Federal revenue sharing funds not expended last year also contributed to the carry­ over in the case of an allocation for improvements to the municipal water tower on West Casgrove Street. The amount appropriated for that project last year was not sufficient to do the job, so council has added $9,500 of this year’s federal allocation to that proposed project. Other allocations of the 1984 federal funds approved Thursday were $3,000 in operational monies for Putnam Public Library; $2,000 for a new roof and heater in the municipal waterworks building; and $5,009 for local street con­ struction. General government expenditures in the new budget were set for $102,859 and included a $5,000 ap­ propriation to other village departments. The major increases in general government came in gas and oil; telephone and utilities; attorney fees; auditor ex­ penses; and salaries for clerk and treasurer. Village Clerk Susan Cork­ well received an increase from $11,500 to $13,500 per year and Treasurer Lois Elliston, from $2,000 to $2,500. Both cannot be raised again until 1986. The new budget also in­ cluded wage hikes for six hourly employees: Dept, of Public Works Supervisor Leon Frith, from 8.82 to 9.52; Arden Schantz, 8.57 to 8.99; Larry Corkwell, 7.67 to 8.05; Scott Decker, 7.67 to 8.05; Police Sgt. Gene Koetje, from 9:17 to 9.90; and patrolman Walter Pincumbe, from 8.57 to 8.99. Operation of Nashville’s two-man police department is expected to cost $70,983 for the fiscal year which ends in February 1985. The Nashville-based fire and ambulance departments received allocations of $8,600 and $1,600, respectively, in the new spending plan. The townships of Castleton and Maple Grove also contribute to the support of the fire and ambulance departments. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Accepted the low bid of $975 from Dennis Hulsebos of Nashville Construction Company for demolition of the Clayton Powers home at 116 East Street. The unoc­ cupied dwelling is being torn down by the village through court order as a public nuisance. Costs of razing the structure according to village specifications will be billed to the homeowner, or may be placed as a lien against the property in case of non-paymnet. — Heard a report by village attorney Richard Wendt on the status of judgments awarded and suits pending on a total of Continued on page 7— Nashville Police Dept, reports 'fairly quief month The Nashville Police Dept, handled 54 complaints in January, according to an activity report presented Thursday to the village council by Sgt. Gene Koetje, acting chief. During the month, the village police also gave five assists to Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, and one to Eaton County. The Nashville officers issued seven moving violation citations in January and ten parking tickets. The Nashville police cruiser was driven 2,616 miles in January, using 275 gallons of gasoline. It was a “fairly quiet” month, reported Sgt. Koetje, as all of the complaints were “run of the mill”. There were no felonies. Only one arrest was affected during January. Vermontville Congregational Church has a "new voice Rev. William S. Trump Jr. shows how simple it is to operate.the quadrabell equipment. A filp of a switch can designate one of four distinct bell sounds: tolling for a funeral, a four-bell peal for weddings, a Sunday School bell, or a twopell call for Sunday worship. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) The old and the new come together in an electronic bell system that now peals from the steeple of Vermontville’s 1862 First Congregational Church. The new Quadrabell tower bell instrument is a gift from an anonymous donor, said the church’s minister, Rev. William S. Trump, Jr. The quadrabell equipment has been set to automatically perform various functions at specified times of the day throughout the week. It will chime the familiar West­ minster chime on the hour weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. In addition, two hymns are heard each day during the week, at noon and 6 p.m. and on Sunday, only at 6 p.m. The equipment rings a two-bell call to worship on .Sunday mornings and can sound pealing bells for weddings. While the church’s traditional bell still hangs in the historic steeple, an amplified bell sound comes from the new equipment, a special timed machine manufactured in Penn­ sylvania by Schulmerich Carrillons, Inc. Partofthe gift includes six tapes, each featuring 12hymns, including special selections for Advent and Easter. AD sounds are made from recordings of cast bronze bells. Since the arrival of the new equipment, Rev. Trump has given up his dual role as Sunday “bell ringer” at the church. The gift “is a beautiful addition to the community,” he said. While the traditional bell still hangs in the historic steeple at Vermontville's Congregational Church, the sounds of an electronic bell system can now be heard from the steeple. A Quadrabell tower bell instrument has been given to the church by an anonymous mem­ ber. �The Maple Valley Newt Nashville.

The Farmer’s Cooperative Creamery Association was formed in 1914 as an off-shoot of an earlier organization founded in 1902, and was situated in three different locations during its lifetime: Church Street, Sherman Street, and South Main. (The creamery was the subject of a Memories of the Past article published in October 1979.) The Association was a vital part of Nashville’s economy for many years until its demise in October 1952 which was precipitated to some degree by the in­ creased popularity of oleo margarine as a substitute for butter. Over the years the local creamery earned many awards at state fair com­ petitions for top quality butter-making: Another outstanding gift last week to Putnam Public Library was a collection of early local histories and centennial books from several Michigan communities: Owosso, Lowell, Moline, Hickory Corners, Battle Creek, Augusta and Middleville. That collection and several other special books were presented by former local resident Howard Belson and wife, Ruth, of rural Hastings. The books will be placed for reference-only use in the Local aqd Michigan History Room. Forrest Babcock and Edna Edwards of Nashville returned recently from a trip to Louisiana to visit his brother and wife, Bill and Toni Babcock, at Lake Charles. They flew from Grand Rapids to Houston, where they were met at the airport by Bill’s son Larry. The big event during their By Susan Hinckley visit was the wedding Feb. 7th of Toni’s niece at the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception in Lake Charles. The large wedding party included nine bridesmaids and one junior bridesmaid. Forrest and Edna also were invited to attend the rehearsal supper held at the Sheraton in West Lake. Also during their stay Edna was the guest of honor at a lun­ cheon hosted by the bride’s mother. Weather during their stay ranged from 60 to 70 degrees in the daytime and 30s at night, with some rain. Outings included visits to Lafayette, with a 40-mile roundtrip drive over a bridge spanning swamp areas;, seeing immense live-oak' trees on Avery Island at New Iberia, home of the maker of Louisiana “red hot" sauce; and several trips to Beaumont, Texas, to dine at a favorite seafood restaurant there.

Mrs. Good said she has been tempted to write us on many previous occasions when something in the Memories feature caught her eye. “For instance, I was one of those patients of Dr. Morris and Dr. Shilling who received home treatment for a burst appendix. At the age of five I was operated on by Dr. Morris. The operating room was our dining room made as sterile as possible, and the operating table was the dining table. The miracle is that I survived!” Mrs. Good expressed her appreciation for the weekly News and also sent along a welcome suggestion for a future story. Enjoy tommorrow - the bonus of Leap Year.

Each class has selected a different cartoon character, and students and teachers already are at work making decorations for their individual classrooms. PTO officials report that last year’s carnival grossed over $2,000. Some of the money was used toward the purchase of computers and equipment for both the Fuller Street and Kellogg elementary schools in Nash­ ville. “Thanks to all the area merchants, and to the support of parents and their families, the carnival has been a big success,” said Chairperson Ruth Hickey. Serving as co-chairperson with her is Cindy Arnes. Mrs. Hickey noted that last year area merchants donated over 60 gifts that were raffled off for the fund­ raiser. Grand prize for the 1984 adult drawing will be a gift certificate of $75 from Carl’s Market. For the children, the grand prize is a stuffed giant-sized lion on which tickets will be sold com­ mencing March 1.

Nashville firefighters were called out about 7 p.m. Friday night to a grass fire near the intersection of M-66 and Bivens Road, but it was under control when they arrived on the scene. About noon Sunday the Nashville Fire Dept, was again summoned to a grass fire this time at the Bruce Royal home, 4891 Lawrence Road. Fire officials said the blaze started from a campfire, and was quickly extinquished. The major snowstorm barreling toward Michigan as we prepare this report should deminish the chances of additional grass fires in our area - at least in the immediate future.

The snow is three feet or more deep on the level and still falling. The trains still are coming through regularly but this morning there were four locomotives on the east­ bound train and even then it was tough going. Another terrific snowstorm set in Sunday night and has raged intermittenly ever since. Verily, the oldtimers who have cried winter ain’t what she used to be are pulling in their chilly necks. 1876.. . Little Rado Reynolds, son of James Reynolds, fell through the ice on the river Saturday morning and had gone down twice before being rescued by two men from the sawmill. 1877.. . The Christian pound social at the opera house Tuesday night attracted about 200 people, the majority of whom bought packages at prices ranging from 3 to 60 cents each. Total receipts, for the new church bell, came to $18.13. (1984 note: The Christian Church was located in what now is Trinity Gospel on Washington Street at Queen.) 1880.. .

Isaac Purkey (of Nashville) owned a 120-acre farm in Charlevoix County and Fran Hydelauf owned one of 30 acres near Albion, in Calhoun County. These two gentlemen met and talked at length of the superior qualities of their respective properties most of last Saturday, and the upshot of it was that they traded even up. Both left this week to inspect their new holdings and to see if the other fellow exaggerated as much as they did. 1884.. . Public exhibitions of drunkenness seem to be on the increase. Why is this thusly? 1886.. . John Laramy has been awarded the contract of building the Evangelical Church in Woodland, at a_ remun eration of $750. 1888.. .

A committee has also been authorized to erect on Maple Street, just off Main, a steel tower, upon which to hang an alarm bell. The tower is to be higher than the buildings and the location is a good one. 1900.. . The many friends of Mrs. Rachel and Miss Sarah Putnam were greatly pleased last Friday noon when word was received that they had been acquitted (in circuit court at Hillsdale) of the terrible charge which has been hanging over them for the last few months since the mysterious death of Lyman Putnam, the husband and father.

Also a lady’s undergarment of questionable name. Ownerswill please call at the News office. 1905.. . Sugar-making is in full swing, with warm days and freezing nights that make for almost perfect sap running conditions. There are rumors that the price of maple sugar this year is going to be very low, but the fact does not seem to have curtailed operations in these parts. (No indication of price was given by the News, but the following year it was reported that new maple sugar was selling for 12 cents a pound.) 1906.. .

The storms of last week proved to be the worst of the winter, or in fact, for many winters, as far as tying up traffic was concerned. Trains failed to get through until late Thursday and county highways were so completely blocked that not until Saturday were the roads in condition for traffic of any consequence... Coy Brumm was the only rural mail carrier to make his full trip Monday.

Our girls, being used to practicing in a cold building, were handicapped by the slippery floor and close room in which they played. The boys showed a splendid fighting spirit, and defeated their opponents 22 to 11. 1927.. . Candidates for village office are again in full bloom, and interest in the coming election is increased by the fact that the Democrats have again rounded up their forces and will have a corps of aspirants in the running.

Last syrup season, Audrey spent a day collecting sap from the buckets which hang from Vermontville’s maples. She’s also pitched in at Maple Manor and helped scoop the foam deposits off of the boiling sap. Her first experience in observing syrup production was at John Viele’s sugar shanty last winter. In earlier years, both as a former Girl Scout and a village resident, Audrey recalls many trips through Maple Manor and listening to Mr. (Paul) Wetzel give his speech and demonstration of the making of maple syrup. She remembers one year when Vermontville Girl Scouts hosted scouts from other towns in the area and she served as a “tour-guide” to Maple Manor and everyone learned how to make maple candy .

Sponsored by Eaton In­ termediate School District (EISD) in cooperation with eight area school districts, the competition affords opportunities for students to compete in three separate divisions: — Quick Calculations, 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. The competition recognizes students who excel in math and en­ courages 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.

An earlier gath­ ering did not net enough sap to merit firing up the evaporators. Scouts tapped maples in the village on Feb. 12, launching the latest chapter of a yearly tradition that started in 1942 and continues today, under direction of Nashville Syrup Association, as an important fund-raiser for participating local organizations. NSA volunteers had charge of the boiling as scouts unloaded their sweet cargo amid a steamy, maple aroma.

LICENSED - INSURED 25 years experience1 517-852-9300 — NASHVILLE — From our readers Dear fellow citizens, You may recall reading in the Hastings Banner that I have set tourism as a priority for Barry County during my term as chairman of the County Board of Commissioners. I do not know if you know it, but tourism already is a multi-million dollar industry in our county. Statewide it generates revenue in excess of $1,000,000,000 and Barry County is not getting its fair share of these dollars. Yet we have one of the most beautiful county’s in the state and an abundance of tourist related areas. These range from picturesque small towns, to antique stores, to excellent hunting and some of the best fishing in the state. Gun Lake already brings in an estimated 750,000 tourists, primarily out of the Chicago area. But how much more should and can we do? Numerous other counties, with much less to offer, are doing a better job at at­ tracting tourists and tourist dollars. With this in mind, I am inviting you, through the auspices of the Barry County Tourism Council, to meet with myself and other key people in the organization to discuss your participation­ benefit in a countywide tourism promotion program. The meeting will take place on Tuesday, March 6 in Hastings at “The Oracle” restuarant on the west edge of town on M-37 at Tanner Lake Road at 9:30 a.m. I encourage you, as a business-minded citizen, to join us in an effort to in­ vestigate economic development through tourism. Thank you. Respectfully, Paul Kiel, Chairman Barry County Board of Commissioners Planting intentions for '84 The February Prospective Planting Survey indicates Michigan farmers are planning sharp increases in corn and dry bean acreage this year. This is due mainly to growers planting the acreage that was set aside in 1983, according to the Federal-State - Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service. Corn showed the sharpest increase with a 45 percent change from last year. Acreage intentions are pegged at 3.2 million acres, equivalent to the record planting of 1981. Dry bean intentions are up after two consecutive years of declining acreage. Current projections total 420,000 acres, 17 percent above last year. Soybean planting is expected to total one million acres, up five percent from the previous year. This year’s oat seedings are forecast at 460,000 acres, up two percent from last season. Sugarbeet acreage at 107,000 acres will be up one percent if intentions are realized. Hay acreage is expected to be up four percent from last year. Barley acreage is expected to be unchanged from a year ago. Nationally, corn growers intend to plant 81.8 million acres, up 36 percent from last year but virtually the same as 1982. Soybean acreage at 65.2 million acres is expected to be up three percent from a year ago. Dry bean acreage is expected to be up 27 percent from last season. BINGO WOODLAND EAGLES EARLY BIRDS...

They can learn how and why during Farmers’ Week and Natural Resources Days, March 19-24 at Michigan State University. The program runs from 9:45 a.m. to noon March 20 in 109 Anthony Hall. “Holsteins are as efficient as beef cattle in the daily rate-of-gain during their growth stages,” says Gary Weber, research assistant in the MSU Department of Animal Science. “There are several ways to efficiently manage a Holstein’s growth so that they can be sold as market beef.” Program participants will be given a variety of management guidelines to produce for the beef market. These will fit almost any dairy producer’s current operation. The degree of profit, however, will depend upon the individual’s kind of dairy operation, type of available feed and the farmer’s management ability, Weber says. Purchase price, market price and feed costs are among the factors to con­ sider when raising Holsteins for the beef market. The purchase price of Holsteins is generally lower than the price paid for beef feeders, and the market price for Holsteins is usually 10 percent lower. In feeding, Holsteins are more similar to beef cattle than they are different. Both have the same basic requirements for vitamins, minerals and protein. The major dif­ ference is that Holsteins require about 10 percent more energy to achieve 1,200 pounds — optimal market weight — than beef cattle require. Holsteins yield the same percentage of edible beef from the carcass but have more bone, less fat and angular-shaped muscles.

(Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) As part of FFA Week, members of the Maple Valley Chapter of Future Farmers of America presented an agricultural program at the elementary schools in the area. A highlight during each presentation was when FFA members brought animals — a rabbit, kid goat, lamb, piglet and calf — into the classrooms of Linda Andres and Kris Green at Maplewood in Vermontville and to fourth-graders at Fuller Elementary in Nash­ ville. Called ““Food Food for America,” the program included time for FFA members to teach elementary students the story behind the agricultural products on supermarket shelves. For some of the young students, it was their first opportunity to get a close look at farm animals. Scott Everett, MVHS senior and president of Region V Future Farmers of America, shows his Suffolk lamb to Jason Carpenter, one of the Maplewood fourth-graders who enjoyed a hands-on learning experience Thursday as part of the FFA's Food for America project.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 112 - No. 35 - Tuesday, March 6, 1984 Zemke honored for community service by Susan Hinckley Martha Zemke, a retired teacher and active com­ munity worker, was honored recently with the presen­ tation ofa Maple Leaf Award by Vermontville Village President Bill Mason. A Vermontville native, Miss Zemke is active in the local historical society and the First Congregational Church. She was selected by Mason to receive the award because of her “dedicated community service and outstanding contribution to help improve and maintain the quality of life in the village.” Her award is the 12th such one bestowed since the program was initiated in 1981 by Mason in cooperation with the Maple Valley News. “It is our way of saying ‘Thank You’ and giving recognition to those people (who received the award),” said Mason, who, made the presentation at Ver­ montville’s 1984 sugaring-off party held Feb. 23 in the Griswold Room of First Congregational Church. Mason said he felt that the sugaring-off party was an appropriate occasion to present the award to Miss Zemke since it was she who initiated the idea of the annual event held since 1975 in conjunction with promotion of the Ver­ montville Syrup Festival. “It has been in my mind for two years to give Martha this award,” said Mason. “I was waiting for the right moment.” The award came as a complete surprise to Miss Zemke who resides on the family farm on Brown Road where she was bom. After graduation from Ver­ montville High School, Martha acquired her higher education at what now is Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. She retired in 1974 after a 41­ year career as a teacher — mostly of social studies — and counselor, having served first at the old Ver­ montville and Nashville high schools and from 1953-74 at Bay ’City Central. Retiring to her native Vermontville, Miss Zemke became active in various community projects through her affiliations with the Vermontville Historical Society and the First Congregational Church. She remembers initiating the community sugaring-off party in the first year of her retirement. “It was an old custom out in the rural neighborhoods,” recalled Miss Zemke. “We used to have card parties and one (each spring) was always a sugaring-off.” At the first community party, she placed jars of pickles on-the tables as was the practice at rural sugaring-off events. She said pickles eaten between batches of maple sugar allowed one to consume more of the sweet stuff. Apparently folks in the village were not familiar with the custom. “No one here ever ate them,” said Miss Zemke of the untouched jars of pickles at that first community sugaring-off. From that time on, the pickle-serving tradition was dropped. Miss Zemke’s role in renovation of the 140-yearold Vermontville chapelZemke, continued on page 6 Retired schoolteacher Martha Zemka recently received the Maple Leaf Award from Vermontville President Bill Mason in recognition of her "dedicated com­ munity service...to help improve and maintain the quality of life in the village.” Miss Zemke has played an active role in renovation of the chapel-academy into a local historical museum.

The Lions knocked off Olivet 61-59 to win the title with a 10-2 league mark. The varsity Lions ended their regular season on the happiest of notes Friday by defeating Olivet in overtime 61-59 and claiming the SMAA league championship with a 10-2 record. Earlier in the week, the Lions lost a hard fought contest to Class D power Portland St. Pat, 71-63. Valley led that game early building a 14-10 first quarter advantage but were unable to hold onto the lead in the second period. All-Stater Terry Sines of the Shamrocks netted 10 of his team’s 20 points in that quarter. Sines scored 26 for the night. The Lions netted 8 points for the same period. Foul trouble put the 6’8” Sines on the bench in the third quarter and Valley began «their comeback. Twice they narrowed the gap to 3 points in the fourth quarter but free throws kept the hosts in front. St. Pat’s made 9 of their total 15 charity tosses in the last quarter. Both teams scored 31 points in the second half. Valley made 29 field goals and hit 5 of 8 from the charity stripe. The Shamrocks hit 28 field goals and were 15 of 22. Jeff Hamilton hit 26 points. Gary Reid and Jeff Starring each contributed 14 points. Valley kept pace with the tall Shamrocks on the boards grabbing 37 rebounds to the Shamrocks’ 39. Rebounding was a weak point for Valley on Friday. The host Lions needed to win to be sure of maintaining their league lead. Both teams traded baskets early with the Lions grabContinued on page 7 Last Friday's Olivet-Maple Valley clash for the SMAA basketball championship was exciting to everyone including Trenton Harvey, four and Andy Ofeson, also four. Much to Trenton's and Andy's joy, the Lions won the title 61-59. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 6, 1984 — Page 2 Nashville News A recent query in this Lansing.) “It was pretty column concerning present accurate about the summer whereabouts of former local home in Pentwater,” wrote resident.

There they found a plugged chimney had caused the house to fill with smoke but it did little structural damage. Firemen were obliged, however, to tear off a portion of the tin roof and disassemble part of the chimney in order to reach the source of the fire. The Jarrard family was home at the time of the incident.

From an unusually balmy Christmas to a blustery spring blizzard, Nashville has weathered the vagaries of Old Man Winter for well over a century as an organized community. Along the way, The Nashville News has captured many of the seasonal scenes of man’s struggle against the elements. Following are excerpts of such stories found newsworthy in winters past. Some of the items appeared as a Memories article published January 20, 1981.

For five years she served as president of the Vermontville Historical Society, under whose auspices the museum is operated in the building owned by the First Congregational Church. The ground floor of the academy was restored as a Bicentennial project and opened to the public during the 1977 Syrup Festival. More recently, Miss Zemke pushed for renovation of the upper floor of the academy. She enlisted the aid of Ben' Ommen, Earl Pennock and Dean Hansen, plus others in the community, for that project which was started in 1982 and completed last year. Although she is very modest about her role in that project and other volunteer activities, it is clear that Miss Zemke has done much to serve her community and church. For the past five years, she has headed the Ladies’ ChrIs tian Association and has served twice on the board of trustees First of Congregational Church. In addition, Martha has af­ filiations with education groups, including the Eaton County Chapter of Retired School Personnel. From 1966-67, she served as president of the Michigan Education Association. Of her busy retirement schedule, Miss Zemke- says, convenience.

The Scouts have been able to undertake this project in co-operation with Bob Henry of Middleville who owns and will be emptying the dump­ ster on a regular basis. A special thank you goes to the Nashville Village Council for their support of this project and to Russ Furlong for providing the space for the dumpster. “I haven’t traveled too much,” but adds that in the fall of 1980 she did get to Europe where she had a rtiemorable meeting with a second cousin and his son who live in Essen, Germany. They are descendants of relatives with whom her father, the late Richard Zemke, kept in touch after coming to America in 1891. He arrived in Vermontville alone at age 17, but had kinfolk living in the area. He later married Edith Smith of Nashville and bought the Brown Road homestead where Martha and her sister Margareta Zemke still reside.

The two are Polly Cook, daughter of Dan and Margaret Cook of Ver­ montville, and Debra Marie Carl, daughter of Jim and Nancy Carl of Nashville. The award is a prestigious honor very few students can ever hope to attain. In fact, the Academy recognizes less than 10-percent of all American high school students. Polly and Debbie were nominated for the National Award by Kathy Hansbarger, former football cheerleading coach at the schoo. Polly and Debbie each will be listed in the United States Achievement Academy Official Yearbook, published nationally. The Academy selects USAA winners upon the exclusive recommendation of teachers, coaches, Debra Marie Carl counselors or other school sponsors and upon the Standsards of Selection set forth by the Academy. The criteria for selection are a student’s academic per­ formance, interest and aptitude, leadership qualities, responsibility, enthusiasm, motivation to learn and' improve, citizenship, attitude and cooperative spirit, depen­ dability, and recom­ mendation from a teacher or director. Polly also is active in the church youth group and 4-H. She likes to read and does a lot of babysitting. She enjoys working outside, working with animals and being with her family. Her grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Reinhart Zemke of Vermontville and Mrs*. Sarah Cook of Mendon. Debbie served as the varsity cheerleading cap­ tain. Her grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Thomas L. Carl of Battle Creek and Mr. and Mrs. Eino M. Simpson, formerly of Battle Creek, of Grand Blanc.

At an evening meeting at Comerica bank a small committee prepared letters to over 100 males in the Maple Valley community, inviting them to participate in the hilarious fund-raiser. A smiliar event staged for three consecutive evenings last October in Charlotte was a howling success and drew capacity crowds each night. The all-male cast includes a bridal party and wedding guests - for the most part consisting of non-speaking roles. The hilarity comes through impromptu antics and exaggerated costuming, Approximately half of the men selected for the local cast will appear in female roles. The identity of the “bride” will be kept secret throughout the production, although the part will be played by a local man. All other participants in the production will be listed on a printed program distributed at the show and used for advance promotion of the event. The “Wedding” is directed by Beverly Caskey of Stock­ bridge, who holds a fran­ chise for the production and acts as director-adviser of the show. She told the Nash­ ville Chamber in October that it is “good slapstick comedy, with practically no learning (of lines) required Castleton Taxpayers All personal tax MUST be paid to me before March 1 st.

GENEVA BRUMM, Treasurer VILLAGE ELECTION To the Qualified Electors: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That an Annual Village Election will be held in the at all.” The cast will devote only four evenings to the event. At an initial meeting Mrs. Caskey will distribute costumes to the men who have been assigned various roles by the steering com­ mittee. At a second meeting a dress rehearsal is staged, and then come the two nights of the “Wedding.” The only speaking part is that of the “butler” who reads from a script to an­ nounce each character as he or “she” enters the wedding scene. Guests at the t nuptials include a strange collection of kin and Hollywood celebrities, such as singer­ actress “Polly Darton.” Also present will be several local “dignitaries” such as Mr. Nash and Mrs. Ville, and a prominent Nashville business ‘typhoon” and his wife. Local volunteers will help with the production. Irene Furlong of Irene’s Beauty Shop will have charge of make-up for the actors, and with a staff of helpers will apply the needed rouge, lipstick, etc. Anne Kent will help with costumes, most of which are furnished by Mrs. Caskey. Chamber President Judy Quantrell is handling publicity for the event. Mrs. Caskey will oversee casting and makeup by advising the Iqpal volunteers. For her role as director-adviser she will receive a $400 fee plus 15 percent royalty based on net There will be no lines to learn for the all-male cast of Nashville’s ''Womanless Wedding" set for April 13-14. The event is being sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce, which last week sent out letters inviting participation in the hilarious fund-raiser. Beverly Caskey, who directed this event at Stockbridge last April, will serve as director-adviser of the local show. profits of the show. Her director’s fee is included in the expenses to be deducted from gross ticket sales to arrive at the net profit figure. Cost of publicity is expected to be the only other major expense for the Chamber. In her experience as a show director, Mrs. Caskey said she has found the most men are eager to participate in the show and because of the exaggerated costumes and improvised antics lose their expected nervousness about appearing in the production. She noted that for every actor in the show, a following'-of 10 to 12 fans appear in the audience.

In the Nash­ ville Syrup Association community project, 250 gallons of syrup were made in February — more than 10 times the amount that was ever made before in that month. (Prior to this year, the record for February was 24 gallons, says NSA President Harold Christiansen.) But the continued bitter day-andnight cold of March has brought sap flow to a halt. Christiansen hopes for a warming trend to begin the middle of this week, which could change things. Last year the NSA made 510 gallons. At this point, Christiansen can’t say if they will do as well in 1984. “It’s such an uncertain season, it’s hard to predict,** he noted.

He loved the place and kept in touch by letters with Ada, whom he calls “Grandma Scott”. Edwin became acquainted with the family through the son of Elaine (Scott) Irwin, who then lived with her family on St Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. When she returned home for a visit in the early 1970s, Edwin came along with the Irwins. Mrs. Scott has seen Edwin only once since that time, briefly, at a family wedding in another state. Now 28 and soon to be married himself, he called Mrs. Scott to tell her that he and his bride plan to come to America on their honeymoon. One of their stops, he decided during that conversation, may be Nash­ ville. The death last Wednesday of former local resident Viola L. Beystrum of Mid­ dleville was sad news for her many friends here. She had lived in Nashville since 1967 and moved to Middleville in recent years. Her sister, Ednah McConnell, also wellknown in 'this area as a former local resident and frequent visitor of Mrs. Beystrum, passed away last year at Battle Creek. Viola is survived by two daughters, three sons and several grandchildren. Services were conducted Saturday at Vogt Funeral Home. Several from this com­ munity traveled in a car pool Saturday night to attend the game between the Detroit Pistons and the Washington Bullets at Silverdome stadium in Pontiac, and were pleased to see an ex­ citing 115-100 victory by the “home” team. The win put the Detroit eagers into a first-place tie with the Milwaukee Bucks in the Central Division of the NBA. A highlight of the event was the appearance of the “San Diego Chicken”, whose hilarious antics entertained the over-25,300 fans during breaks in play. The outing for the local group was organized by Singles Alive of Nashville Baptist Church. A few young boys ap­ parently seized Friday’s holiday from school for parent-teacher conferences as an opportunity to harass motorists traveling west of Nashville on M-79 near Sandyland Park, where it was first reported that three or four of them were “mooning” passing drivers. A short time later, it was reported that the youths were pitching rocks at autos and had smashed the wind­ shield of a pickup truck as it was driven by. When county and local police arrived on the scene, the culprits spotted them and fled cross­ fields to elude the officers. It was reported that at least one of the boys was carrying a BB gun. All were described as wearing dark colored clothing, and had been hiding in storm drains. The “terrible state” of outdoor privies at Putnam Public Park came up for discussion at Thursday’s meeting of Nashville’s village council. President John Hughes said that the local Lions Club had con­ tacted him to bring the matter to the council’s at­ tention. No conclusive action was taken Thursday but officials said they would check it out. The latest contributions to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came last week in memory of Gerald R.

This mobile museum contains no permanent collection; rather it puts together its exhibits from works coming from the nation’s leading museums, including the Smithsonian Institution, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Metropolitian Museum of Art and the Detroit Institute of Arts. Works in this year’s exhibit come from the University of Michigan Museum of Art, the Flint Institute of Art, the Min­ neapolis Institute of Arts, and the Pennsylvania State among others. Some 55 sculptures, paintings and fabrics by Michigan artists will be on display. The Michigan exhibit was juried, meaning that a panel of judges decided which artists to represent, based on samples submitted by artists from across the state.

Morch 13. 1984 — Poge 4 Nashville was 'dense forest” when the first school was constructed by Sukan Hinckley Imagine the heart of Nash­ ville's business district overgrown with a forest so dense that Main Street could not be seen from a site on the present-day municipal parking lot just west of the old hardware store lot That is how the area looked in 1866 when the community's first schoolhouse was erected there. No wonder early pioneers nicknamed the fledgling settlement “Forest City" before it was officially christened as Nashville! The crude schoolhouse rose in one day in a workbee by men of the community. A primitive structure by today’s standards, that first school made-do with paneless “windows” but had a door out of necessity — not for what it could keep in but for what it kept out: cattle roaming at large through the village. (It wasn’t until a dozen years later that wandering cows became a notable problem in the town. In late May 1878, the village council was presented with two petitions: one bearing 66 signatures asking for an ordinance prohibiting the running of cows at large in the corporation, and another signed by 50 taxpayers asking that cows be per­ mitted to pasture at large, as was then the common practice.) Thirteen students were enrolled in the initial class in Nashville’s first school. Before the end of the term, that number had doubled. Soon additional quarters had to be found. The struggle in those early years to educate the youth of the village was captured in a piece written in 1916 for The Nashville News. The author is believed to be Agnes (Smith) Putnam, Nashville’s first teacher. Most of the original text follows. “The First School of Nashville” “In the spring of the year 1866 or just fifty years ago last spring, it became ap­ parent that there were, in Nashville, a number of children for whom educational advantages should be provided. Ac­ cordingly a notice was sent out to the men of the com­ munity that at a certain time a ‘bee* would be held for the purpose of erecting a schoolhouse. “The call met with a hearty response, and when the time arrived a large number of men gathered and before night came, Nash­ ville’s first schoolhouse was ready for use. “It was not much of a place to look at but it served its intended purpose well. It was only a small rough board building that stood just back ofwhere Glasgow’s hardware now stands.” (1984 note: The hardware store was on the presently vacant lot on the west side of Main Street, just north of Quality Pawn.) “There was only one room and that was not large enough to accommodate all who wished to attend. Holes were left for the windows but they never had any glass in them; however it was found necessary to provide the place with doors as the village cattle roamed at large and were inclined to seek shelter in the schoolhouse. The woods were so thick that the schoolhouse was scarcely visible, and the teacher says she could not see out to Main Street. “The teacher's desk was partofan old counter, and as it was the only one of any kind in the room, ifany of the children wished to write they had to go to that desk. They had only the barest necessities: no chart, no blackboard and no dic­ tionary. In fact, it was several terms before they had these apparently necessary articles. “The children sat on rough board benches with pegs driven in for legs. The large old box stove stood in the center of the room, but the school outgrew the first building before they had to use it very much. The wood was brought in from the woods around the schoolhouse and burned green. There was no room for recitation seats, so the children stood around the teacher’s desk to recite. “The old building was also used as a singing school which was taught by Eli Mallet. The teacher won the everlasting dislike of the preacher by refusing to let him hold protracted meetings in the schoolhouse after the board had given its consent if the teacher was willing. “The roll call of Nash­ ville’s first school contained thirteen names, and Miss Agnes Smith was the teacher. She is now Mrs. Charles Putnam. Before the end of the first term the number of pupils had in­ creased to twenty-six, which goes to show that Nashville grew faster then than it does now. “The roll call at the latter These Nashville students, circa 1905-10, enjoyed classroom advantages their earliest predecessors did not have: blackboard, charts, dictionary desks. The first school in the village also lacked windowpanes. This photo taken at Nashville's new brick school built in 1902 to replace an earlier brick troyed by fire in February of that year. Grade and teacher are unknown. that and was des- The young maples seen in this mid-1920s view through Central Park are nothing compared to the dense forest that populated this area when Nashville's first school was erected in 1866. The schoolhouse was located on a site directly behind the lot on which Glasgow's hardware later stood. Trees were so thick the teacher could not see through to Main Street from the school. The hardware store (center) was built in 1875-76; by then the school was in another location. part of the first term was as follows: Len and Irving Feighner; Mary Wittie; Frank Parker; Gilbert, Daniel, Carlos and Marcus Smith; Nellie Butterfield; Della Norris; Lina Mallet; Joanna and Josephine Ralston; Lina Baker; Ion and Josie Johnson; Lydia Froat; Willie and Carrie Griffith; Frankie and Laura Gordinier; Sarah Buchanan; Issac and Laura Coleman; Ezra and Jacob Wissler. “It is a fact worth noticing that out of a class of twentysix, only five have died in over fifty years. To Len Feighner belongs the honor ofbeing the youngest scholar of the first school. He was only four years old at the time and was not supposed to go to school; but he would follow his older brother Irving to school and would cry so lustily when he was sent home that finally the teacher went to his mother and told her to let him come and she would teach him his letters. “Mrs. Putnam says that one of the funniest recollections of her first term is the fact that every morning she had to carry a spoon and a bottle of Ayers Ague Cure to school with her as most of the children were subject to that disease. She added, however, that it was not funny at the time. Another story, that Charles Putnam tells as true but for which his wife will not vouch, is that he used to call on the schoolmarm at the schoolhouse, and as the place was so small there was no room for him to sit down so he would stand up until he got tired and then he would sit down and hold one of the little girls on his lap. “The directors of the first school were Eli Mallet, who also ran the first mill here; Leonard Stauffer, one of the first merchants; and Austin Brooks, who also held the office of town clerk. The teacher was paid the munificent salary erf three dollars per week for the first term... and was supposed to pay her (own) room and board. “At the dose of the first term, the scholars held a school picnic but the custom of the weatherman was the same then as it is now, and it rained all day, so Nashville’s -first annual school picnic was a failure, from the standpoint at least that it had to be held indoors. “When it came time to open school in the fall, Miss Smith was again hired to teach, and her salary was raised to six dollars a week. It was soon found that the Agnes (Smith) Putnam, Nashville's first teacher in 1866, carried a spoon and bottle of Ayers Ague Cure to school with her every morning as most of the stud­ ents in attendance that first term were "subject to that disease." She later married local merchant Charles Putnam and in her declining years wrote several re­ membrances of early Nashville. She died in 1920 at age 79. Her only children; twin daughters, died as infants in 1881. schoolhouse was altogether too small forthenumber who came, so in order to ac­ commodate them a wagon shop which stood where the Appelman three-story brick dwelling now stands was rebuilt and furnished as a schoolhouse.” (1984 note: The Appelman house was on the southeast comer of the Main and Reed streets in­ tersection. ) “This school was a little better than the others had been. There was a long bench along one whole side, and the children sat on a bench facing the wall. The bench had no back. They sat so close together that when one wanted to leave his seat he had to disturb three or four others to get out. “There were fifty-seven pupils enrolled in the winter term, but no record of their names has been kept. Before the third term began a larger school was built and Miss Anna Lamb was hired to teach. She was followed by Miss Marion Warren. At the beginning of the fourth term of Nashville’s schools a tworoom schoolhouse was built and Miss Mary Ely and Clement Smith were hired to teach. Mr. Smith is now circuit judge at Hastings. “Even the two-room schoolhouse was not enough and soon they had to erect a separate building for the primary department. This building was moved away when the big (Union) schoolhouse was built (in 1885) and is now being used as the front part of the Nash­ ville News office. These buildings stood on the present schoolhouse block but nearer the southwest corner of the lot, which at that time was fenced in to keep the cattle out.” (1984 note: Schoolhouse block was the present site of Kellogg School.) “The first di*. >.ict school in this part of the county was located out south of town. It was called a fractional district as part of it was in Maple Grove Township and part of it in Castleton Township.

Ford Museum On Saturday, March 3, members of the Indian Patrol of Nashville Boy Scout Troop 176 were the latest visitors to the Gerald R. Ford Museum in Grand Rapids. Eight scouts hiked the fivemile Ford Trail from the Southwest Michigan Shores Council office to the museum and back and toured the museum to qualify for the special President Ford Trail Patch. The scouts participating included Ryan Rosin, Alvin Morgan, Dan Bolton, Richard Perrier, Senior Patrol Leader Matt Peake, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader Garth Davison, Jason Brown, and Eric Eck­ man. The adults ac­ companying them were Al Morgan and Dale Ossenheimer, assistant scoutmaster. On Saturday, Feb. 25, the weather finally cooperated to allow Troop 176 to go on a Polar Bear Campout. The Polar Bear is a winter camping experience which includes staying out over­ night in shelters made with poles from saplings, black plastic and straw which the boys erected themsevles. The scouts found them to be warmer and much drier than conventional tents. A special patch was earned for the campout by the 12 boys attending. The scouts will be parpar­ ticipating in a First Aid-ORee at Kellogg Community College on Monday, March 12. Each group must provide its own first aid equipment, a judge and a victim for the competition. This is a new experience for the boys. On March 16,17 and 18, the troop also will be going on a campout at Rota-Kiwan near Kalamazoo. Indian Patrol members of Nashville Boy Scout Troop 176 visited The Gerald R. Ford Museum recently.

Lindy Hoffman serves on syrup court Lindy Hoffman, a member of the 1984 Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen’s court, says that syrup making is very interesting to watch and very exciting to take part in. The daughter of Allen and Melody Hoffman of 5591 Irish Rd., Lindy is active in the jazz band, pep band, mar­ ching band, flag corps, and Girl Scouts. She also enjoys many hobbies including sewing, cooking, roller skating, styling hair, and bowling. In Lindy’s application for the syrup festival royalty, she suggested two im­ provements — one for children and the other for adults — for the annual April event. “It would be more fun if there were different rides each year. Children get tired of the same rides,” she said. Lindy also suggested that “there would be a better turn out if the talent show was MV MCXMVMKamMK.MCKMV.MKMCKMRC.MV MV I Secretarial I Bookkeeper —POSITION OPEN — « | Maple Valley Jr-Sr High School xx i Applications are being accepted at the Jr-Sr High School or school administration building.

Frances Snyder Olson Vermontville’s Brownie troops spent several weeks preparing for their annual Father-Daughter Banquet, held on Feb. 18, and now that the banquet is over, they have turned their attention elsewhere. On March 2, the first grade troop went to Lansing to see the Royal Hanneford Circus at the Civic Center. After the circus, four of the girls rode on an elephant. The troop also made Valentine candleholders for their mothers. Brownies in the second grade troop presented handmade Valentines to their “Grandma” Ava Kroger. In the next couple of weeks, they will attend an International Day meeting, and go roller skating. February 22 was Thinking Day, a day set aside for all Girl Scouts and Girl Guides to learn about sister scouts and guides around the world. February 22 is the birthdate of both Lord and Lady Baden-Powell, the founder of scouting and the world chief guide. The Junior troop celebrated Thinking Day by holding a World Association pin ceremony. Parents and the Cadet troop attended. For Valentine’s Day, the three patrols in the troop had parties and treats. March will be very busy for the girls for, in addition to weekly troop meetings, several badge workshops are planned. On Saturday, March 3, a Computer Badge Workshop, and on March 10, the girls will attend a Science Sleuth Workshop in the morning, lunch at Mc­ Donald’s and then par­ ticipate in the McCheer-Off at a Spartan girls’ basketball game. On Wednesday, the 14th, the troop has invited the other Vermontville scout troops to attend their In­ ternational Day program. Crafts, songs, food and other information about countries that have scout-guide troops will be in the program.

The troop earned approximately $500 in cookie profits and plans on selling M & M’s during March. Your support is appreciated. Dawn Othmer sold the most cookies in the troop — 451 boxes. The Cadet troop tried their hand at ice fishing in January but didn’t bring home any fish. On February 1, the girls visited the Medical Facility in Charlotte to play games and talk with their friends there. In preparation for their summer canoe trip, the girls are each selecting an area of the trip to work on: food, maps, transportation, budget, etc. The Au Sable River, from Grayling to Mio is the route to be used. For Thinking Day,the troop wrote letters to a pen pal, and learned about Girl Guiding in Kenya, and the four world centers in Lon­ don, Mexico, Switzerland, and India. On March 3, the girls went to MSU Wharton Center for a performance of “Romeo and Juliet”. Kathy Atkinson sold the most cookies, with 175 boxes. The troop earned ap­ proximately $130. There will be extra cookies for sale by both troops. For information, call Kathy at 726-1264, Teri at 726-1171 or Joyce at 726-0524. Cookie delivery is now going on. All cookies should be delivered by March 19. To celebrate Girl Scout Week, March 11-17, the girls are having a skating party for Sunfield and Vermontville troops. On March 21, at Thornapple Roller Rink, the troops will gather for skating, games, prizes and fun.

Leap year made the spread bet­ ween the February and March board meetings of the Eaton County Board of Commissioners a few days longer than usual in the even years. Everything did not go as planned, however. The second day away from home I ended up in the emergency room of St. Vincent’s Hospital in Indianapolis, Ind. That was on Friday mor­ ning, Feb. 17. On Monday, they removed what the surgeon called a “wicked gall bladder”. On the following Monday, there was a test on a suspicious looking colon. That test proved positive rather than negative. Twelve days after going into emergency, I left the hospital. (I could have gone one day earlier if it had not been for the blizzard that had paralyzed Indianapolis and most of Indiana.) The doctors allowed us to move on south toward Florida to rest and recuperate in the sunshine. I write this not to relate a crisis and something of a trauma that Rosa and I experienced away from home. Rather, it is to point out some of the things that are so meaningful and special in our lives. Away from home and in a strange hospital, those Hoosiers made us feel so much at home. Out of a staff of specialists and surgeons, I was assigned what the nurses called, “the first team”. The nursing care was superb.

The real America is the love and concern of a loving family. It is the love and caring of friends and neigh­ bors who are always there when needed. It is those who call and write cards and say “we are praying for you”. It is living in a land where you are free to express your faith in a great God who is loving enough and capable enough to see us through any trial. America is Main Street U.S.A, where people share the values in life that truly count. The America that I know is still good and with enough of that goodness to restore Her and keep Her great.

In the United States, the scouting movement is 72 years old, having been founded in 1912. Juliette Low of Savannah, Ga. was in England visiting friends Lord and Lady Baden-Powell. The BadenPowells had started Boy Scouts and Girl Guides in England and Juliette Low became interested in the program. She returned to Georgia and began Girl Scouting in the United States. The first troop meeting was held during March so one week was later designated as Girl Scout Week. Scouts worldwide usually celebrate with special ac­ tivities, troop meetings, and glances back in scoutingguiding history. Locally, Scouts and Brownies will hold a birthday skating party at Thornapple Roller Rink. Vermontville troop leaders were asked to have their troop members respond to the question “Why am I a Girl Scout?”. Here are some of the girls’ answers: Troop 244 - “What Being a Brownie Means to Me”. “It’s fun to go different places with my troop. We work on things together. Helping everyone is one of the things we’ve learned to do.” — Brandy Wawiemia. , “I like being a Brownie. We help people. I like to learn in the Brownie Bee book. It is fun to learn things. We play games.” — Allison Burpee “I like being a Brownie because I learn to do new fun things and take my dad to our banquet.” — Teresa Aikens “Being a Brownie means serving God, serving my country, and mankind.

March 13, 1984 — Page 15 Inner Beauty” by Susan Hinckley A style show and grooming clinics were on the agenda of a Saturday ladies’ gathering at Nashville Baptist Church, but the central message of the event was the im­ portance of one’s “inner beauty”. About 100 women were present for the occasion at which the keynote speaker was Pepper Ingold of Grand Rapids, area director of the 700 Club and charter member of the Wesley Park Methodist Church at Wyoming, Michigan. “In order to have inner beauty it takes a lot of doing,” said Mrs. Ingold, married 35 years and recently at first-time grandmother. “We can be lovely and lovable, but the question this morning is, Are you a loving woman?” She noted that most women are not aware of the innate ability they have to mark the lives of others with whom they come in contact. “Our influence is no more important than a man’s, but it is different,” explained Mrs. Ingold. She said that in order for women to understand the power they have, they first need to understand them­ selves. Mrs. Ingold, who said she was converted 30 years ago under the personal ministry of religiuos author and novelist Eugenia Price, stressed the need for women to have an “intimate relationship’’ with Jesus Christ, and she cited several examples of how the power of prayer had worked in her life. “Sometimes we get so book-bound that we are nothing but religious women, and our husbands hate it,” warned Mrs. Ingold. “The busybody of a church might is important, speaker notes need to relax her spirtual speed and listen to the still, inner voice of Jesus Christ.” She said that women should revere their husbands, even if the men are non-belivers, as many will be led to conviction through quiet examples of devotion set by their wives. The event at Nashville Baptist Church started with a 10 a.m. style show of women’s and children’s A hit of the show was the beautiful, lacy white formal gown modeled by Melissa Brenton.

Women and children of the local community served as models. After Mrs. Ingold’s ad­ dress, a luncheon prepared by Nancy Trask and Susan Corkwell, was served in the church parlors. A session of beauty clinics followed, under the direction of Bobbi Weller and Karen Betes. Make-up, fitness, hair and nail care were discussed. The church quarters were beautifully decorated for the occasion by Debby Burkett with a winter-spring theme. Sparkling white snowmen combined with pastel flowers and butterflies for a stunning effect. The theme of the event, “Walk Into the Son-light,” Martha VanEngen and grandson, Scotty VanEngen, was carried out with a brilliant “sun” arched over a appeared as a duo in the fashion show.

Vol. 112 - No. 37 - Tuesday, March 20, 1984 Boiling is sweet” for Nashville project Preparing gallons of freshly-made Nashville maple syrup for sale at the counter in the Sugar Shanty are longtime NSA volunteers Nelson Brumm (left) and Harold Christiansen. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) by Susan Hinckley Last week’s briefwarming trend gave Nashville’s syrup-making project a temporart shot-in-the-arm, netting enough sap for a weekend of boiling. By Saturday, however, a drop in temperature had again slowed the sap run. Nashville Syrup Association volunteers were at the Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park Friday, Saturday and Sunday to welcome visitors amid the steamy, sweet aroma billowing from evaporators in the building. Harold Christiensen, NSA president, said much of the boiling being done by the association was for various Individuals who bring in sap collected on their own property for processing at the Sugar Shanty. For this, NSA gets half of the syrup produced - which they in turn sell for $18 a gallon at the Shanty and various other outlets in the village. One man comes from as far away as Shelbyville to have his sap boiled here, noted Christensen. Also processed at the Shanty is sap collected from village maples by local Boy Scouts, who share in the profits. Each season, proceeds of the community syrup project are divided among participating organizations based upon volunteer manhours each donates to tasks such as washing buckets, tapping trees, collecting and hauling sap, boiling, canning syrup, etc. Nashville’s annual civic sugar bush project was intially launched in 1942 at the urging of Len W. Feighner, then past 80 and a former longtime publisher of The Nashville News (forerunner of the Maple Valley News.) Editor Feighner had urged tapping the giant sugar maples lining Nashville’s streets as early as World War I, when sugar was scarce and expensive. When World War II rolled around bringing another sugar shortage, Feighner again repeated his advice - and this time Nashville listened. In a community endeavor spearheaded by a committee of the Nashville Development Association, local citizens joined forces to reap the natural sweetner from nearly 1,000 village trees. That first season syrup sold for $2.50 a gallon, and the project netted $250 - most of which was used to purchase jungle gym equipment for the school playground. Each succeeding year saw gradual improvement in Nashville’s syrup-making project, as new equipment was acquired and skills were perfected. In time the committee set up the boiling operation in the old pump house in Putnam Park. In 1957 the new Sugar Shanty was built just west of the pump house and a wood-fired evaporator was converted to gas some ten years later. Now, Nashville syrup is produced under the direction of the Nashville Syrup Association. Last year NSA produced 510 gallons of syrup. The 1984 season is a bit unpredictable at the moment. ““It It depends depends on the weather,” said Christensen, “but right now it looks like a better season than last year.” NSA produced a record amount of syrup in February this year because of the early start prompted by an unusually milk month. By the end of February, NSA had made some 250 gallons more than ten times the prior record for the month but a cold March slowed the run. The weekend tally had not been completed at the time of this report, however, Friday’s boiling yielded 45 gallons. A number of visitors have signed the guest register at the Sugar Shanty this season - the most distant home address being listed as Seattle, Washington. Cast selected for "Womanless Wedding by Susan Hinckley Selection of a 60-member cast for Nashville’s up­ coming “Womanless Wedding” was finalized in a meeting Thursday between show director-advisor Beverly Caskey of Stock­ bridge and representatives of the local Chamber of Commerce, sponsors of the April 13-14 fund-raiser. Approximately 100 local men had been contacted by letter and phone to seek their participation in the event. More than half consented. Response to the appeal Nashville's upcoming Womanless Wedding is ex pected to feature "lovely" bridesmaids like Kirk Curtis of Stockbridge, seen here in a similar production last year in the hometown of show director-advisor Beverly Caskey. Sixty Maple Valley area men have consented to be in the April 13-14 production sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce. About half will be cast as females. Tickets go on sale this week. was terrific, said Chamber President Judy Quantrell. “About the only problem we had was finding enough men without beards or mustaches to play the female roles,” said Mrs. Quantrell. Approximately half the 60 males vyill be cast as women in the show which portrays members of a bridal party and a strange collection of wedding guests, including local “dignitaries” and Hollywood celebrities such as “Polly Darton”. All roles are non-speaking except for the “butler” who reads the name of each character as he or “she” enters the scene. Hilarity comes through impromptu antics and exaggerated costuming. Mrs. Caskey, who holds a franchise for the production, will supply the costumes and most of the props for the show. She plans to deliver them to Nashville on Tuesday of show week, and will meet with Anne Kent, who is the local volunteer in charge of costuming. Participants of the show will meet with Mrs. Kent on Wednesday evening, April IL for assignment of the individual costumes. The following night, the cast will meet at 6:30 p.m. for a dress rehearsal at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School gymnasium. Show nights are Friday and Saturday, and the cast will report at 6:30 p.m. those nights for makeup, which is under the direction of local volunteer Irene Furlong. A staff of about 12 girls will assist Mrs. Furlong with that task. The cast for the Nashville production includes men from all walks of life and all ages — from high school age to senior citizens. As pre-show en­ tertainment each night, a small jazz band led by Duane Thatcher, music director at Maple Valley schools, will play for about 15-30 minutes. During the “wedding”, Thatcher will provide piano accompaniment. Tickets go on sale this week at various business places in town. Adults will pay $3 and children age 12 and under, $2. Although tickets will be available at the door each evening, ad­ vance purchase is being urged to facilitate the ex­ pected capacity crowds. Mrs. Caskey said that for each participant in the play, a following of 10 to 12 fans can be expected in the audience. Said Mrs. Quantrell: “We are billing this as the ‘Wildest Wedding of the Century’ full of comedy and beautiful ‘women’ from the Maple Valley area.” In addition to the Nashville and Vermontville men who have consented to be in the production, a few from Charlotte and Hastings that are known in this area also will appear. A similar event staged for three consecutive evenings last October in Charlotte was a howling success and drew capacity crowds each night. Randy Bishop, a Nashville Boy Scout of Troop No. 177, was one of the volunteers working Friday evening at the Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park. His job was to fill cans with the sweet golden nectar after its double straining in the canning tank. �The Maple Volley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 20, 1984 — Page 2 Nashville News The harsh winters of the past recounted in a recent Memories column were of particular interest to former local resident Elizabeth (Smith) Good of Silver Spring, Maryland daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Chester Smith of Nash­ ville. She wrote last week to recall a particularly severe blizzard that occurred here in the winter of 1918. “I was seven years old at the time and it was very exciting to me,” wrote Mrs. Good. “Schools were closed for several days because of deep drifts. The mercury plum­ meted to 30 degrees below zero and the wind chill factor was horrendous... The only room in our house that even approached comfort was the dining room which was in the middle of the house and somewhat therefore protected. I remember that my mother’s feet were frostbitten as she worked in the kitchen. It was a struggle for my father to make it to the barn to care for the animals. And I remember how we laughed when Dad returned from the barn with a small icicle at the end of his nose.” (The Smiths lived on a farm at the west edge of Nashville just beyond present-day Sandyland Park on M-79.) Continued Mrs. Good: “My Aunt Biddy (Elsie Smith Fischer) and her family were snowbound at our house during the blizzard and at night the snow sifted through the window (no storm windows then!) and fell on the crib in which her five-month-old son slept. He luckily seemed unaware of the really intense cold.” Mrs. Good added that it took four or five days before the road to their house was shoveled out. “The digging out was by hand labor—men with shovels did it,” she noted. When school finally reopened, high school boys living in the rural areas skied into the village to at­ tend classes. Mrs. Good recalls how they glided right over fence tops. “I can clearly remember seeing Alfred Higdon skimming over the snow along with a couple others whose names I have forgotten.” News of Nashville’s up­ coming “Womanless Wedding” brought a letter last week from June (Brown) Potter in Texas. She wrote: “Read with great interest that Nashville is planning a Womanless Wedding. It won’t be the first. I’m not sure of the date, probably in the early ’40s... my husband (the late) Wendell Potter took part as did Harry Johnson, Adolph Douse and Otto Dahm — to name a few that I remember.” Mrs. Potter added that a number of years ago she was responsible for organizing aa “Manless Wedding”, using the same idea in reverse, for a program in the RV park in which she resides in Texas. “The result was hilarious,” noted Mrs. Potter. As near as we have been able to determine from past issues of The Nashville News and conversation with various local residents, “Womanless Weddings” have been staged in Nashville at various times ranging from the 1930s into the 1950s. All appear to have been big hits, both fun-wise and financially. The upcoming nuptials of “Mr. O. SPRING is just around the corner! GET READY with a NEW CUT and STYLE Call for an appointment...

(Details elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News.) Last week’s column item bn the present whereabouts of former local resident Roe Tuttle brought a phone call from Elizabeth (Gibson) Lynch of Nashville. In connection with her work as a volunteer in the local alumni association, Mrs. Lynch had the following address for Roe Tuttle: 1341 Park Row, La Jolla, California 92037. Whether or not it is a current address, she does not know, but added that it is the most recent one provided to the alumni association. The addresses of several members of Nashville’s Class of 1934 are being sought by a committee organizing a 50th an­ niversary reunion to precede the alumni banquet on June 9. The get-together will be from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Community Center at Putnam Park. There were 32 graduates in 1934, and as far as the committee knows all but four of those students are still living. Present ad­ dresses are needed for Robert Ackett, Agnes An­ derson, William Hamilton, Pauline and Russell Par­ tridge, and Lucille Webb. If you have current data on the whereabouts of these people, please get in touch with organizers. They also are seeking addresses on teachers John Van Deventer and W. D. Wallace and Supt. Arlie Reed so that they also can be invited to the gathering. Invitations were mailed out Sunday in a meeting of the committee which is composed of Maurice and Ardis Purchis of Nashville; “Ike” and Phyllis (Corrigan) Babcock of Nashville; and Farrell Babcock of East Grand Rapids, whose wife the late Vivian Appelman was a member of the Class of ’34. If you can help with in­ formation or want more details, write to Ivan Bab­ cock at 917 N. Michigan, Hastings, 49058, or Maurice Purchis, 517 Reed, Nash­ ville, 49073. Rev. Leonard Putnam of United Methodist Church will be retiring June 15, and Sunday his successor was named. The new pastor will be Rev. Lynn Wagner of Dowling, who has been a minister for some 20 years. He and his wife, Pat, and daughter, Elizabeth, 2, will be moving into the local parsonage on Chapel Drive sometime after May 25. The Putnams plan to move to Rockford, Michigan, and reside near one of the two daughters they have living in that area. Rev. Putnam says he will stay active in his retirement — either as an assistant pastor or in some line of volunteer work. The latest contribution to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came last week in memory of Gerald R. Montgomery from Albert and Mary Bell. 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 By Susan Hinckley Office Box C, Nashville, 49073. Unless anonymity is requested, names of donors will be listed weekly in the Maple Valley News, and will be inscribed along with those named in memorials, on special scrolls to be displayed in the new room. Saturday, Harold and Jo Christiansen of Nashville entertained members of the Maple Leaf Grange. About 16 were present for the oc­ casion. During the winter months, the organization meets in homes of various members to save on costs of heating the grange hall. Congratulations to Brian and Gale Chaffee of Nash­ ville on the birth of a daughter, March 13. The little lady weighed in at 9 lbs. 2% ozs. and has been named Jessica Lynne. She was welcomed home by her brother Patrick. Proud grandparents are Richard and Marilyn Chaffee, Jr., and Justin and Grace Cooley, all of Nashville.

Games, prizes and food are on the agenda for the 1984 carnival. The Mayo-Evans Birthday Club met March 8 at the home of Marion Hamilton. Maxine Pixley assisted the hostess in entertaining 12 members and three guests. Door prizes were won by Alta Linsley and Loretta Pixley. Doris Damerow won the flower fund gift. Next meeting of the club will be April 12 at the home of Grace Ritchie. Mrs. Flora Satterlee and Mrs. Mae Rose, both of Charlotte, were Wednesday callers on Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nashville. Again this year, students of Nashville Christian Academy will stage an all­ day spaghetti dinner as a fund-raiser for school ac­ tivities, ahd have set a goal of $1,000. The all-you-can-eat event will be held from 11 a.m. ’til 8 p.m. Saturday, April 7, in the United Methodist Community House. Spaghetti with meat sauce, rolls, coleslaw and applesauce will be served family style. All food is being donated by local merchants and will be prepared by Curtis Gibbs.

The Nash­ ville Christian Academy is a K-12 Christian school established in 1980 in the education wing of the local Church of the Nazarene on Fuller Street, and now has an enrollment of ap­ proximately 70 students. The United Methodist Council on Ministries meets at 7 p.m. today, March 20, to be followed by an 8 p.m. meeting of the Ad­ ministrative Board. Bpth meetings are at the church. Mrs. Charles (Leila) Furlong of Nashville has returned home after spen­ ding five weeks in the hospital. She initially en­ tered Pennock Hospital on February 9, was taken to Community Hospital in Battle Creek as an .outpatient six days later, then returned to Pennock where she had surgery on February 22. Following the operation she became critically ill and was transferred by ambulance from the Intensive Care Unit at Pennock to the ICU at St. Mary’s in Grand Rapids. She was able to return home March 14. During Mrs: Furlong’s hospitalization, her husband stayed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Buryi Townsend of rural Nashville. Celebration of family birthdays kept Clarence and Margaret Reid of Nashville busy last week. Friday, Jean Withey and Norma Claypool of rural Kalamo took Margaret to the Country Kettle Cafe in honor of her birthday. Later, Clarence and Margaret went to Cadillac to spend the weekend with their son Darwin and family and helped him celebrate his birthday on Sunday. Thursday evening the Clarence Reids went to the home of the Vernon Reids of rural Vermontville for cake and ice cream in honor of his birthday. Friday, Mrs. Clarence Reid attended Grand­ parents’ Day at Central School in Hastings as a guest ofNiki Reid, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Reid, Jr., of Hastings. He is a nephew to Clarence. The monthly breakfast at United Methodist Church will be held Sunday, March 25. The 8 a.m. event in the Community House is sponsored by the church choir as a fund-raiser to acquire a new sound system for the organ in the church. Mother Nature last week provided a smorgasbord of seasonal weather offerings — from thunderstorms to snow showers— as a prelude to today — the official date for the arrival of spring. School will be dismissed early for in-service day Mar. 21 School will dismiss one hour early on Wednesday, March 21, for an in-service meeting involving all Maple Valley teachers. Therefore, school will be dismissed that day at 1:30 p.m. at the junior-senior high school and 1:50 p.m. at the elementary buildings. This will actually be a two hour in-service program reviewing the educational program at Maple Valley, said Superintendent Carroll J. Wolff. The elementary teachers will be mainly meeting in grade level meetings discussing the correlation of the instructional program in the three elementary buildings. There have been several meetings related to a phonics program at the elementary level, and a recommendation will be made at the April board of education meeting. The sixth grade teachers will be meeting with junior high school teachers to discuss general subject area content at these various grade levels. Major em­ phasis will be placed on mathematics and science at this meeting. General curriculum meetings will be held at the high school level.

It was a joyous time for those whose sons were returning home. Peace lasted for all the years I remained in Nashville. During my very early years, the mode of tran­ sportation was by horse and buggy, but the- automobile soon began to make an ap­ pearance. Dr. E. T. Morris had one of the first autos. I was an occasional passenger when he and Mrs. Morris rode into the country on his house calls. Medicine by today’s standards was quite primitive but the respon­ sibilities were great. Nash­ ville was fortunate to have dependable physicians such as Dr. Morris, Dr. Schilling, and Dr. Brown. House calls were common, as well as minor surgery and deliveries in the home. The war was recent enough that people felt very patriotic and wanted to honor their dead. Nashville did this with a parade down Main Street to Putnam Park. The girls were attired in white dresses and carried a Memories ofNashville small flag as did others. It by Edythe (Hicks) Klinkner was Decoration Day, which Where in Michigan did you later was named Memorial live? Guess everyone from Day.

Among those published in the past have been remembrances by Myrtle Marshall Donovan of Mesa, Arizona, and Guy Howell of Tucson, Arizona. This week, from the same state, comes the first part of a two-week installment of personal Nashville recollections written by Edythe (Hicks) Klinkner of A Phoenix. retired registered nurse, she has recalled her years in Nash­ ville during the period of 1918-32. Edythe is the daughter of the late Chancy and Mina Hicks. (He was a section crew foreman for the Michigan Central Railroad, which ran through Nash­ ville.) The Hicks family lived in the red brick house at 403 Reed Street, the present-day Richard Varney home, at the intersection of Middle Street. Following is Edythe’s story.) mother prepare a small bouquet for each relative’s grave. There were the anxious years when spring was late and the flowers were just as late in blooming. Somehow we always managed. Fourth of July, another holiday to remember with a parade and band, was with a more festive spirit. Noise from the firecrackers filled the air. What fun it was to hold a sparkler in our hand or watch the lighted display from the modest fireworks. Important to the young people was Halloween, and although for fun, it was not always celebrated in the most constructive manner. Farm wagons and equip­ ment and available outhouses were found in the oddest places around town, placed there during the night. The front door of the schoolhouse was a favorite place for a wagon. Putnam Park, a favorite place for outdoor gatherings, remains in my memory for its two pools. We used to wade in the smaller one. There were no signs posted that we had to wear a bathing suit or that an adult had to be present. The standpipe (water tower) on the hill was very tempting for kids who liked to climb up its side. One cannot think of the pum­ phouse without seeing a vision of Frank Russell around the place — often sitting on a chair in the doorway during those hot summer days. I can remember when the roads in Nashville weren’t paved. In dry weather, there was plenty of dust. My Great Uncle Jake Traxler drove the water wagon that sprayed water to lay the dust. There were other horse-drawn wagons, but one ^■<?Sino* always celebrated in the most constructive manner, recalls Edythe Hicks Klinkner.

Zemer s hardware (on the corner) and adjacent buildings. At center is the old Star theater and just right of it, the 1912 "Women's Rest" which is now village hall. In the intersection of Main and Maple is an outhouse dragged downtown from Phil Penfold's blacksmith shop on South Main Checking but a different book each week at Nashville's Putnam Library thrilled young Edythe Hicks. This 1926 photo shows that facility less than three years after it opened in the former Charles Putnam home. (Photo loaned, courtesy Dorothy Hummel Martich) Early Decoration Day parades that culminated with patriotic ceremonies at Putnam Park stand out in the memory of Edythe Hicks Klinkner. This one in 1916 had autos streaming westward on Washington Street toward Main. (Note: In a previous publication we identified this photo as taken on Sherman Street, but longtime local resident Adolph Douse, Jr., pointed out that the brick building at left is the old Lentz show­ room before its 1928 conversion into the Masonic Temple. The white building on the corner is the old Appelman grocery before it was razed in 1926 to make way for the White Rose service station. The dark face of the old opera house is barely visible just behind it.) of the most important was the ice wagon owned by John Miller. He would chip off just enough of the ice so that the block would fit in the box. We liked to pick up the chips, wash them, and they were more enjoyable to eat than popsicles. I think the size of the ice chips may have been intended just for some eager kids. People of the community often attended programs at the Mehtodist Church. I recall the annual piano recital of pupils of Mrs. Edith Purchis. Shortly after she began having her recitals, Joe Mix joined her with his violin pupils. There were occasions when programs were church-sponsored by dedicated workers from the membership. Those I remember as a child were Misses Florence Grohe and Effie Dean, Mrs. Cora Parks, Emily Hafner and Maud Wotring. Prior to the frequent use of the Methodist Church and Community House, which has continued to the present time, entertainment often took place in the opera house. By the time of my childhood, it was known as the “old opera house”, and in many aspects it was — considering that heating was by one or two old (wood­ burning) stoves and seats were none too comfortable. However, that was where the school plays and entertainment took place. Medicine shows had reached their peak by that time but I recall a few still held there before they left the scene entirely. Shortly after this time, the tent shows appeared, but the most memorable was the Cautauguas set up in a tent, but offering good en­ tertainment. One afternoon they put on a home talent show and anyone who wished could be a star for an af­ ternoon. As in most towns, Nash­ ville’s Main Street with its stores and activity occupies much of my memories, but fust the library holds fond memories for me. It was a valuable experience to go (here as a child every week to check out a new book. Miss Eva Dean was the librarian during those years. (To be continued next week.) Edythe Hicks (left) and her friend Edna Brumm are seen about 1931, the year both graduated from Nash­ ville High.

State Representative Robert Bender (RMiddleville), recently amended the 1984-85 school aid bill to provide funding for employability development plans (EDPs), which tie together the entire educational process through better career counseling, specific job-skill training classes and specific selection of basic academic skill classes. District The , 88th lawmakersaid the process involves the interaction of students, parents and counselors in discussions about grades, test scores, and work experiences in relation to a student’s career goals. “For many students there is no systematic in-depth assessment of abilities, interests or educational plans before they select classes or careers,” he said. “By using EDPs, more students will examine their options and benefit from a more successful high school education.” Bender explained that with an EDP, ninth graders discover their interests via the Michigan Occupation Informational System (MOIS). Student profiles are established and a list of occupations which match those profiles are identified. After the MOIS profile is completed, students discuss the results with counselors, and then construct a curriculum to meet their career goals.

The Michigan 4-H Friendship Quilt is comsed of patches from 60 counties in Michigan. Each patch represents something unique to that county. The Eaton County quilt patch illustrates that it lies in the center of southern lower Michigan with a floralpatterned map of Michigan with a key pointing to the county. It is embroidered with the county’? 1983 fair theme: “Eaton County 4-H: The Key for ‘83.” Sports Maple Valley’s Jeff Hamilton, the sparkplug of the Lions SMAA cham­ pionship team, has been named to the SMAA all­ league team.

Every year in the United States more than one million of them are victims of abuse or neglect. Some two thousand of them die from their injuries. And while sheer numbers are increasing, so too is the severity of the abuse. Child abuse, according to a Special Report in the February issue of the Michigan State Medical Society journal, “Michigan Medicine”, is a perplexing national problem. Solutions are neither obvious nor easy. Much of the difficulty associated with confronting the problem is that the symptoms of abuse are often not readily identifiable. And the cause of- the breakdowns in interpersonal interactions between parents and their children are even more elusive. Children learn inrpersonal problem solving through observing their parents behavior — good or bad. For that reason, stresses Ray E.

So prevention of child abuse is a matter of limiting abuse’s negative impacts on one generation, in the hope of eliminating it in the next. Concerted, aggressive efforts by teams of specially trained individuals can reduce the frequency and severity of abuse and neglect. These locally-based teams, commonly referred to as SCAN (Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect) Teams, are composed of physicians, nurses, social workers, attorneys, protective ser­ vices workers, and in­ dividuals trained in the behavioral sciences. Collectively they are better able to screen for possible It’s a girl!

The success of SCAN Teams comes from coupling the significant breadth and depth of the individuals’ combined experience with thoroughly defined practices and procedures. Standardized protocals assure consistent and medically sound methods of handling neglect and abuse cases. SCAN Team members are trained to look for the nonobvious signs of possible abuse - things like unex­ plained school absenteeism, infant failure-to-thrive in a seemingly “well adjusted" family, and adolescent pregnancy not resulting from sexual interactions with peers. They also are skilled in proper injury documentation, evidence preservation, and police and court interaction. The Michigan State Medical Society advocates the use of SCAN Teams, recognizing their central role in effectively battling child abuse. Only if abuse and neglect are discovered can intervention steps assure the immediate safety of the child and begin the important process of healing emotional trauma. PEPSI 6 Pack Cans $199 PLUS DEP.

W. Feighner, donated recently to Putnam Public Library by Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Ayles of Nashville, has now been sorted, labeled and put on display in the Michigan and Local History Room. Public inspection is invited. In addition to traditional family scenes the collection includes interesting early views of Nashville and vicinity plus some travel photos probably taken by Feighner, longtime editor­ publisher of The Nashville News. A number of Niagara Falls pictures, circa 1910, are in the bunch. Among the memorabilia in the exhibit is a scrapbook of articles Feighner wrote for The News detailing a January-March 1914 trip to the west coast. Some of the family scenes probably are from the Lyman J. Wilsons, parents of Feighner’s wife Estelle. Others are of the Feighner’s only child, daughter Vada, who later married Edwin Kane of Nashville. As a young lad Feighner, whose family were pioneer settlers here, worked as a printer for Orno Strong, founder in 1873 of The Nash­ ville News. In 1888 Len bought the paper from Strong and retained ownership for forty years. Besides his role as editor­ publisher of Nashville’s weekly paper, Feighner “wore many hats” in the community.

Len Feighner also represented this district in the state legislature and was active in county and state Republican affairs. He was affiliated with the Michigan Press Association, and was first field secretary of the organization as well as president. He was prominent in fraternal circles, in­ cluding Knight of Pythias, Masonic orders, and the Elks. At one time, during this tenure as local post­ master, he also served as manager of the Nashville opera house. Among the many com­ munity projects attributed to Feighner’s drive, is renovation of the rubblefilled site of the old Union House hotel into a beautiful Central Park in the heart of Nashville. He also is credited with initiating Nashville’s community syrup-making project which has become a yearly tradition dating back to 1942. Feighner pushed for the syrup-making to coun­ teract wartime sugar rationing but the project evolved into an annual civic fund-raiser. He died in 1948 at age 86.

That recommendation came from the council’s finance committee headed by Trustee Carl Tobias. “It is the consensus of the committee that the wage will stay the same and not be changed at this time,’’ said Tobias. He added, however, that a Dept, of Public Works committee headed by Trustee Gerald Kent is currently studying DPW wage scales and “that may involve getting into job classifications and changes in policy.” The recent review by Tobias’ committee was prompted by an alleged disparity in pay brought to council’s attention at their March 8 meeting by DPW employees Scott Decker and Larry Corkwell. Both have five years service and recently received raises from $7.67 to $8.05 per hour. They questioned why they were not being paid at the same rate DPW employee Arden Schantz was at that point in seniority. Schantz, who has six years on the job, recently was raised in hourly rate from $8.57 to $8.99. All village employees police as well as DPW personnel - in February were granted 5-percent acrossthe-board wage hikes, which was their first pay increase in two years. Except for costof-living adjustments, no raises were granted to village employees in 1983. Other business Thursday included a call by Village President John Hughes for a meeting between himself, council representatives, the supervisors of Castleton and Maple Grove townships, Putnam Public Library Board, and a consultant from the state library in Lansing. The purpose ofthe meeting is to secure professional advice on financing library operations and to discuss advantages of having Maple Grove Township become part of the Putnam district, which was established in May 1965 to encompass the village of Nashville and township of Castleton. As a district facility, Putnam became eligible for certain funds, including a portion of penal fines, and other privileges from the state. Putnam Library was established in 1923 by the village. In the fiscal year just ended, it operated on an annual $14,300 budget from sources including penal fines, state aid, and stipends from the village and two townships. Last year Nash­ ville contributed $3,500 to library operation; Castleton Township gave $1,300; and Maple Grove, $500. The village also pays for in­ surance coverage and major maintenance of the building. Members of the library board, who are appointed to govern its operation, pointed out Thursday that the $14,300 budget covers not only librarian’s salaries and purchase of books but also pays heating and utilities costs which have escalated in recent years. In related action the council voted to invest in a one-year Certificate of Deposit the sum of $8,383 which the village is holding for the library building fund, with interest to accrue to the account that will be turned over in its entirety to the library once the project of adding a Children’s Room to the present facility begins.

In Thursday’s action the alley reverts to its northbound property, which is now a vacant lot owned by Russell Furlong of Nashville. -Heard a report from Carl Malsom of the engineering firm of Williams & Works recapping final accounting on Nashville’s recently completed $4.8 million sewer expansion project, and also explaining a dispute between two contractors on a sub­ sequent rehabilitation project that was done last year on some existing sewer lines' -Changed the date of the next council meeting from April 12 to April 9 since most of the village officials will be involved that night with rehearsal of the “Womanless Wedding,” a local Chambersponsored fund-raiser.

Nashville, Tuesday, March 27.1984 — Pag* 3 Spring Carnival is success for Nashville PTO by Susan Hinckley Despite a wintry land­ scape outdoors, the annual Nashville PTO Spring Carnival came off as scheduled Friday evening at Fuller Street School, and was rated a huge success by organizers. “We had a very good turnout,” said Carnival Co­ chairperson Ruth Hickey. The cartoon-theme event raised over $2,400 for school projects. Some 30 games of skill and other festive concessions were set up in 13 rooms at the school to keep children, parents and guests en­ tertained from 5:30 p.m. tb 8 p.m. Tickets purchased at the door at the rate of five for $1 served as currency at the various booths. A fishing contest, croquet games, and a “Monster Cookie” booth were just a few of the exciting and colorful concessions. Most were designed by parent, teacher, and student volunteers and set up Friday morning. The fact that classes were cancelled that day due to snow-covered roads facilitated setting up the carnival. In other years, volunteers have scurried to set up booths after school hours. Colorful cartoon drawings by fifth and sixth graders at Kellogg School in Nashville brightened halls, doors and concession stands at the carnival. The students also were responsible for artwork May Kipp (left), a second grader at Fuller Street school, takes a turn at Smurf croquet while Cheri Arnes, 3rd grade, tries her hand at fishing in a practice run before Friday's PTO Spring Carnival got underway. rewarded with $5 worth of Carnival.

Saturday was the busiest day on Main Street, especially during the evening hours — when an extra bonus was a band concert in the (Central) park by the theatre. Grocery stores that I remember were owned and operated by Ed Kraft, Colin T. Munro, and John Appelman.

Dry good store proprietors were Herman Maurer, Edgar Hannemann, and William Kleinhans. William was the first owner of Kleinhans dry goods and after he passed away (in 1929) his son Clift continued in the store for many years. Clift was married to my Aunt Edythe, who recently passed away at age 92 while living John Appelman, longtime with a daughter at Golden, Nashville merchant, kindly Colorado.

The total was about 39,000 or 3.5 percent, higher than the 1980 Census figure, an increase winch represents an upward trend not characteristic of the male veteran population. Administrator of Veterans Affairs Harry N. Walters pointed out that as the number of female veterans grows, and as more and more move into the older age groups, their needs will increase correspondingly. “The special problems confronting these women and the VA’s response to their particular needs will be better addressed as detailed demographic data become available,” Walters said. “This comprehensive profile of the female veteran populationn will assist all those involved in the plan­ ning for future demands,” he added. i® Robert Lee Evans HASTINGS - Mr. Robert Lee Evans, 79, of 914 E.

About four inches of snow fell Wednesday in the Maple Valley area and it continued Thursday — causing can­ cellation of classes at the local schools as well as several others in the region. Travel conditions were hazardous — especially on secondary roads. Slippery main highways were reduced mostly to a covering of wet slush by Thursday, as road crews swung into high gear with scrapers and salters through the night. In Nashville Thursday, steam rolling from the roof of the Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park joined forces with the snow to virtually obscure the building and surrounding landscape in a haze of white. Along Nashville’s residential streets, covers on sap buckets clinging to stately maples sported crowns of white “frosting” Thursday morning. And the sound of snow shovels meeting sidewalks was again heard throughout the land! Annette Langer, a senior at Maple Valley Schools, has been selected to compete in the Olympia National Scholastic Typing Contest. The typing competition will occur at the state, and national levels. Each par­ ticipating school will select one student to represent it in the state championship. The typing test for this level of competition will be adminstered by designated business education teachers at each school. All official entrants will be awarded certificates of participation. The winner from each state will receive an Olympia electronic portable typewriter, a certificate of award, and the opportunity to compete against other state champions in the national championship. The competition for the national championship will take place in April at each contestant’s school and will be performed on Olympia typewriters supplied by Olympia. The test will in­ clude a timed writing and a timed production test of a standard business letter and envelope, a tabulation from a rough draft, and a full-page memoradum. Students in the national championship competition will compete for cash awards of $500 for the designated national champion, $350 for the first runner-up, and $200 for the second runner-up The contest is sponsored by Olympia USA, Somer­ ville, New Jersey, a leading markerter of electronic office machines. A spokesman for Olympia stated that more than Ove thousand high schools from across the nation are represented in the contest.

Laura Polhamus, Charlotte and Karen Haigh, Bellevue, will represent Eaton County at the con­ ference. “At this workshop, volunteers will be introduced to the findings of the 4-H Michigan Early Adolescent Survey,” says Beverly Barrett, Eaton County 4-H program assistant, “and we’ll explore some myths of what being 9 to 14 is all about while we explore some fun ways of working with kids in this age group.” Workshop sessions include one titled “What is early adolescence?” and another on interaction with the early adolescent. Other parts of the program will cover developing self-management in the early adolescent and building self-esteem. The workshop is sponsored by a grant from the Chemical Bank and Trust Company of Midland and Manufacturers National Bank of Detroit through the Michigan 4-H Foundation.

DUCKS, GEESE & HEAVY I CHICKENS FOR SALE!! Featuring a complete line of... Hubbard Concentrates NO OBLIGATION • JUST COME IN | • Chick Feeders & Waterers | Nashville Co-Op Elevator ------------- —ASSOCIATION NASHVILLE-MICHIGAN From our readers Dear Editor: This is more of a bit of reflection on what it means to be at home and also to be away. First of all there is the natural security that comes with being home. For in­ stance, if we are going to be traveling and the car needs some repair we want it done at home We trust the people that we know to do us a good and reasonable job. However, far from home, we sometimes fear that we will be “ripped off” just because we are not natives. The same philosphy of concern applies to doctors, surgeons, hospitals, or any other, profession or services that we might be in need of in a strange area. It is quite easy to develop the negative feeling that everybody is out “to get” strangers and to exploit them. This does not negate the confidence that we have in our homes and in the people that we know. It is to say that while there are truly some con artists, the strangers that we meet are pretty wonderful people in the main. I will go back to our ex­ perience in a big city hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. No one knew us there. We were outstaters. But did that translate into the fact that the hospital was any the less efficient, the physicans, the surgeons, and the nurses less competent, less caring or lacking in dedication? Of course it did not. As I have said before, away from home we were made to feel at home. But isn’t there a deeper meaning behind this that we seem prone to overlook. We were not strangers in Indiana. We were neighbors. We were not away from home, but we were at home because we still were in the United States of America. I believe that the vast majority of Americans share the same goals, have the same dedication and basically care for one another. This is all to try and point out my confidence and faith in my fellow Americans. True it is the charlatans, the rable and the self interest pressure groups that always seem to make the headlines. The basic goodness of Americans seldom gets the same press and publicity. But it is there! If we will but consider and remember this it will go a long way in restoring confidence in this great land and its future Our Ship of State will not stay afloat if all the self interest groups abandon it and take to the life boats in a selfish interest of only their own survival. If will proudly steam back to port ifwe have a common interest and not a self centered one. This will come when we as a people realize anew that it is so important to trust and to respect each other. It is our similarites and likeness that will save us and not our differences. This must have been the theme behind our Pledge of Allegiance, “One Nation, under God, in­ divisible and with liberty and justice for all.” In a year of national elections this is all worth remembering.

This is the second year that 4-H’ers have been asked to join the event, which also involves MSU students and high school vocational program participants, as well as apprentice and professional chefs. “The show was tremendous opportunity for young people from across the state to compare their baking skills and meet professionals in the food service industry,** says Kathy Walters, Barry County 4-H Yoth Agent, “it also gave our members a chance to explore career opportunities in foods and nutrition.” The Barry County members' entries were judged by a panel of MSU foods and nutrition experts and rated according to their quality, novelty and creativity.

How much good can a vitamin do? Does vitamin E rev up your engine? Will vitamin C cure the common cold? Fact is, a balanced diet providing the recommended daily allowance of vitamins will keep one feeling and looking fine. The question then arises, if a little is good is more bet­ ter? Approximately 40 percent of Americans think so. Women use vitamin supplements more than men do, college graduates more than either high school graduates or non-graduates, professional, clerical and sales people more than manual laborers or the unemployed, and people in the west use more vitamins than persons in other areas of the county. Most people do not view a supplements as 4-H leaders meet Barry County 4-H volunteer leaders were among close to 300 Michigan 4-H lead­ ers attending the 28th 4-H Leadermete conference held February 24-26 at Michigan State University.

But even though people do not think supplements replace foods, about one-third of multi­ vitamin users said they take vitamins because they “do not eat properly”. Perhaps people would be better off to change their eating habits rather than take vitamin supplements. There are two types of vitamins: water soluble and fat soluble. Vitamins other than A, D, E, and K are water soluble. They are dissolved or secreted if not needed or used by the body. Water soluble vitamins have to be replaced daily. Fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K are stored in the body, along with any excess of these vitamins. A large number of con­ sumers take vitamins in megadoses defined as taking at least 10 times the recommended daily allowance. Megadosing occurs most often with'the water soluble vitamins. Statistics show how common vitamin and mineral supplementation is in the United States. Con­ sumers need to be aware that megadoses are by definition amounts that are much larger than the body needs. Megavitamins and mineral supplementation should be considered in the same class as over-thecounter drugs and prescription drugs, since they can cause side-effects and toxicity symptoms at such artifically high levels. No one should take any preparation that contains over 100 percent of the recommended daily allowance unless it is recommended by a physician for treatment of a specific problem. Some people may benefit from supplements taken in ad­ dition to regular meals. The extra nutritional requirements of pregnant or nursing women may be difficult to meet with food alone. People who eat small amounts of food, such as dieters or the elderly, along with people who cannot eat properly due to illness or medication, may require supplementation. How do you know how many vitamins you need? A safe way is to follow the FDA: don’t go beyond the recommended daily allowance for any vitamin. Finally, if you do take vitamin supplements and to make sure they perform at peak efficiency, check with your doctor for proper dosage, keep vitamins in airtight containers and away from light, heat, and moisture, and limit the amounts of coffee, tea, and sweets, which will destroy the vitamins before they have a chance to-work for you. -STATE Enclosed is my payment for: — $10 Barry County ■_ $13.50 Other Areas ZIP $8.50 Students (9 months) D $12 Surrounding Counties (Allegan.

Tuekdoy, Worth 27 1984 — Pog« 12 Time to prepare for Tornado season With spring approaching, thoughts turn to balmy weather, April showers, and May flowers, but the State Police Emergency Management Division reminds Michigan residents that the coming of spring also brings the potential for devastating tornadoes Capt Peter Basolo, deputy state director of emergency services, explained that a proclamation by Governor James J. Blanchard designated March 25-31 as “Tornado Safety Week" in Michigan and that it alerts residents to the need to know how to prepare for possible tornado danger The proclamation pointed out that more than 600 tor­ nadoes strike in the U.S. each year with an average of 17 in Michigan. Since 1950, more than 200 persons have been killed by tornadoes in Michigan with property loss estimated in the millions of dollars. Michigan ranks third in the number of tornadorelated deaths in the country. The state’s urban population makes it especially vulnerable to the devastating effects of tornadoes. The Governor urged the people of Michigan to be aware of the early warning signs of tornadoes and the proper safety and emergency procedures. “Tornadoes usually develop in conjunction with severe thunderstorms. Community siren systems and the broadcast media alert the public when a possible tornado is approaching but often a tornado will touch down before any warnings can be issued. This year state, county and local emergency services coor­ dinators, the National Weather Service, and the public and private school systems, and the news media are cooperating to educate the public to the dangers of tornadoes and the safety rules they can follow to save lives,” he stated in the proclamation. Those persons having serious concerns regarding tornado safety are advised to contact the nearest State Police post, local civil defense authorities, police and fire departments for assistance. Some agencies have information material to distribute concerning tor­ nado safety. A weekly report from - ERNEST NASH State Representative STATE TAX REFUNDS UP - More than one million property tax credits and refunds have been mailed out by the Michigan Department of Treasury, totaling $352.8 million. With two more weeks before the Monday, April 16 deadline, the Department is extending its toll free tax-help phone line, 1-800-292-1983, until April 27. Refunds are currently being sent out on an average of six weeks after being processed. The average refund to taxpayers to date is $349.10, up $10 from 1982 refunds. TORNADO SAFETY WEEK - March 25-31 has been proclaimed Tornado Safety Week by the Governor and the Michigan Department of State Police once again urges all Michigan residents to be on the lookout for tornado con­ ditions. Michigan ranks third nationally in tornado-related deaths. STATE APPROVES MORE PETITION LANGUAGE - The State Board of Canvassers has approved petition language for two more ballot proposals that may appear on the November general election ballot. Petitions can now be circulated for the formation of a unicameral (one-house) legislature, and for a ban on highway billboards. If adopted, the unicameral legislature would include 108 legislators, 6 from each of the state’s 18 congressional districts. If the billboard ban initiative was adopted, it would be illegal to erect or maintain billboards near the right-of-way of any U.S. highway, state or local road or freeway. Current billboards in existence before the effective date would be exempt. The unicameral petition drive needs 304,001 valid signatures and the billboard ban proposal requires 243,201 signatures. COURT CHANGES IN CHILD CUSTODY PASSES HOUSE - Last week, the Michigan House of Representatives unanimously approved legislation giving the probate court authority to protect more effectively victims of child abuse and neglect during divorce or custody battles. The Republican-sponsored legislation would reduce the need for a time consuming waiver from the circuit court handling a previous divorce or custody case. Senate action is pending. ELK HUNTING BILL GETS HOUSE APPROVAL - The Michigan House of Representatives has passed legislation allowing the Natural Resources Commission to declare an elk hunting season when the Commission deems that the state’s elk population has become too large. It is estimated that Michigan’s elk herd has grown four times greater over 1975 totals. The last elk season in Michigan was in the early 1960s. STATE BUDGET BILLS GETTING APPROVAL - The House Appropriations Committee continues to discharge budget bills for the 1984-85 fiscal year, and the House has already adopted five proposed budgets including those for the Department of Mental Health, Department of Education, higher education, capital outlay and school employees retirement. The Committee has approved an additional three budgets awaiting House approval; tran­ sportation, public health, and state police-military affairs.

VERMONTVILLE, MICH. STATE LICENSE NO. 1612 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 27, 1984_Page 13 Michigan certified seed is best for soybean selection by Roger A. Betz, Ext. Ag. Agent Farmers have many varieties of soybeans to choose from but the most dependable varieties are those which have been certified in Michigan. “Certified seed helps assure plant performance and a good return on the dollar invested,” says Larry Copeland, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service agronomist. “Behind every blue tag on a bag of certified seed are decades of research and cooperation with Michigan growers and governmental agencies.” Soybeans are one of the most economical crops in Michigan. Buying seed requires a substantial in­ vestment, however, so growers need to select soybean varieties adapted to local growing conditions and farm cultural practices. Criteria for selection in­ clude yield potential, maturity date, lodging potential and disease resistance. Buyers of certified seed can be sure the seed is a known variety that will perform well in Michigan, has met acceptable stan­ dards for disease, insect and lodging resistance, is fully mature and has been evaluated for performance. Michigan certified seed also assures the grower of strict minimum germination standards, extremely low weed seed contamination and freedom from seedborne disease.

How many “k” do I need? the list goes on and on. On Friday, March 30 from 1 to 4 p.m. is planned an open session for farmers to ask these kind of questions. This will be an informal presentation, so you can come and go as you please. Members of a farm computer users group will be on hand to demonstrate and talk about the equipment they are using.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 112 - No. 39 - Tuesday, April 3, 1984 Vermontville's first woman mayor takes office by Susan Hinckley When Beverly “Sue” Villanueva is sworn in Thursday as Vermontville’s village president — the first woman ever to hold that post — she will; by her own ad­ mission, bring no special political experience to the job. She will, however, bring a contagious enthusiasm that fairly bubbles from the mother of five as she talks about her hopes and goals for the community. It is obvious that Mrs. Villanueva will “learn- the ropes” in concert with her council. Only two council members have any length of experience: Jim Peterson and Donald Lewis, the latter being re-elected in the March 12 contest which put Mrs. Villanueva in office. Incumbent trustee Jack Clark also was re-elected, but had only three months experience on the council in an appointed post. “I call it an all-new council,” said Mrs. Villanueva, pointing out that there are three newcomer trustees Gary Burton, Lana Carole Oster, and Joyce Peterson — and a brand-new clerk, Diane Casteele. “We’ll learn together,” predicted Mrs. Villanueva. A Democrat, making her first bid for public office, Villanueva edged incumbent president Bill Mason, a Republican with two terms under his belt, by a 75-70 margin in a lively election that saw 150 of Ver­ montville’s approximately 365 registered voters go to the polls. “It was the biggest turnout in years,” said Mrs. Villanueva, who adds that she had thought she might come close but probably would not defeat Mason on her first try. She decided to run, she said, because she “felt it was time for a change.” Among her goals fo.r Vermontville are a cable TV system or satellite; completion of the village road­ paving project (which should be finished by the end of August); and a low income senior citizen apartment complex.. “I feel the village could really use the extra tax revenue,” said Mrs. Villanueva of the proposed housing project. A situation she knows she will face in. her new post is the sometimes controversial topic of the size of Vermontville Township’s police force which covers the village, but she doesn’t view it as a problem. “Given the opportunity, I feel it will work itself out,” Mrs. commented Villanueva, who favors a force of two full- and one part-time officers in order to qualify for grant monies to help finance the department. A 19-year resident of Vermontville, Mrs. Villanueva is active in the local fire and ambulance departments, serving as a dispatcher to “sit base” during runs. She also is trained in advanced first aid. Bom in Charlotte, Beverly “Sue” is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Ray* and graduated in 1962 from Sunfield High School shortly after its consolidation into the Lakewood district. She and her husband, Alejandro, were Sunfield schoolmates who later married and moved to Lake Odessa before coming to the rural Vermontville area then moving into the village. They have five children ranging in ages from 9 to 21. He is a senior supervisor at Fisher Body in Lansing. Mrs. Villanueva has been active in the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters, serving as secretary from 1981-83 and as bingo chairperson for four years. Mrs;. Villanueva looks forward to the next two years and hopes it will be a period of growth for Ver­ montville. She stresses the need for unity in the community, and expresses appreciation for the council she will head: “I’ve got a swell group of people — we are going to work together just great.” Maple Valley School students who participated in the recent Voice of Democracy oration contest sponsored by the Charlotte VFW Post were, front row, from left, Scott Everett:, who took first place and won $50; Vickie Clements, 2nd place, $30; and Sarah Curtis, 3rd, $20. Others from Maple Valley who presented speaches in the event were, back row from left, Debbie Exelby, Linda McGinley, and Chug « Maurer. Scott also placed 5th in district competition and Vickie, 6th in the district. Vermontville Chamber dinner April 10 The Vermontville salad or dessert.

An open meeting for all con­ cerned residents will begin approximately at 8 p.m. The new representative from Howard Wolpe’s office will also be attending the April meeting. " Since her election as Vermontville's village president on March 12, Beverly Sue" Villanueva has spent many hours studying the village charter and other governmental data. Mrs. Villanueva's lack of political experience is more than compensated by her willingness to learn and her enthusiasm for the new duties which she will assume Thursday.

Parady was in the 16th N.Y. Cavalry unit which caught up with Booth near Port Royal, Virginia; and Parady was one of two men who pulled the mortally wounded assassin from a burning barn — ignited by soldiers after he had taken cover there with a com­ panion Parady recounted his adventure for The Nash­ ville News in 1880, some ten years after he had settled in Nashville as a cobbler and later became a noted civic leader. Our special con­ sultant in writing the Memories piece was Lincoln assassination scholar Steven G. Miller of Chicago. We heard last week from Mr. Miller, who was delighted with the re-run of the Parady piece. He also passed on the information that he had recently been to Portland, Oregon, to meet Parady’s granddaughter, Mrs. Dorothy L. Stasi, who was helpful in furnishing family photos for use with the 1981 Memories article. (After leaving Nashville in 1907 Parady and his family settled in the state of Oregon and most of his descendants still live on the West Coast.) During this visit, wrote Miller, Mrs. Stasi showed him a • quilt which her grandparents brought with them from Nashville of which she wrote us back in April 1981: “I have a very beautiful quilt, made of the old black silks and em­ broidered and lined in gold... made by the neighbors and friends in Nashville for my grandmother and given toher when they left Michigan. The different (quilt) blocks have the initials and dates embroidered on them of the (person) who made each one.” Other “gems” Mrs. Stasi shared with Miller were a letter Parady wrote to his parents two days after he dragged Booth from the barn, and the original handwritten text of the 1880 account he prepared for The News. Miller sent us a photocopy of the latter — for which we are very grateful. It is especially thrilling to realize that handwritten editorial notations on the Parady manuscript are undoubtedly those of Orno Strong, colorful founder of The Nashville News. (He established the weekly newspaper in 1873 and owned it until 1888 when he sold it to employee Len W. Feighner.) Parady’s account is full of conversational exchanges between John Wilkes Booth and his pursuers who surrounded the barn on Garrett’s farm near Port Royal. As Parady pulled the The traditional funeral service arose from deep emotional needs of the bereaved family and friends.

T. Morris, Nashville”. It was presented by Art and Brenda Stewart, who found it in the garage of their home at 109 Phillips Street. How it came to be in the location is now known. Dr. Morris, who served the local community for 60 years starting back in 1898, had his office on South Main Street (now Mace Pharmacy). He moved to the former Dr. Comfort property on South Main in 1903.

Former local resident Wayne Fuller of Toledo, wrote last week to comment on several recent topics in the Maple Valley News. “The Memories story about the dense forest around Nashville when the first school was built was good,” he noted. “And to think of it — the teacher was paid three dollars a week. The going rate now in Toledo is that much for about fifteen minutes.” On another subject, Fuller said he enjoyed the recent remarks in the News column on a 1918 blizzard recalled by former local resident Elizabeth (Smith) Good of Maryland. “She was a very intelligent girl, as were her brothers Robert and Frank,” remembers Fuller. “They were in high school (at Nashville) when I was and both (the boys) were honor students in engineering at U. of M.” Fuller remarked that their father, Chester Smith, was a well-known raiser of Poland China hogs. “He also produced a very fine grade of maple syrup,” noted Fuller. “My uncle who lived in Toledo used to get his supply from Chester and I think he paid about six dollars a gallon for it.” Make plans now to attend the all-day spaghetti dinner Saturday, April 7, at the United Methodist Com- Obituaries Thelma Grace Hall Russell C.

April 3, 1984 — Page 4 Memories of the pas by Susan Hinckley Lentz Table Co. was once leading industry by Susan Hinckley (Author’s note: William H. Hecker recently furnished us with two early photos of Nashville’s Lentz Table factory taken back in the days when he worked there part-time as a schoolboy. Later, Hecker was employed at the plant off and on until 1937 when he accepted a position with SherwinWilliams in Grand Rapids and was put in charge of their furniture laboratory. Hecker’s photos prompted a re-run of the following story, portions of which first ap­ peared as a Memories published in May 1980.) After spending a few days with relatives in Maple Grove Township, Jacob came to Nashville and bought a house and lot where Dr. Thomas Myers’ office now stands. “Mother and we boys moved in,” wrote Albert in 1926. “Lewis was then only seven years old, but we all had a place to fill.” In Nashville the Lentz family found only a smat­ tering of houses and business places. The boys had Indians for playmates, learned to shoot a bow and arrow, and fished and swam in the Thornapple River. Albert, the eldest son, who Nashville had good reason had worked with his father in to give thanks on a cabinetmaking shop at Thanksgiving Day 1891. That Palmyra for $14 per week, was the day wheels started helped Jacob in a shop they turning in the new Lentz set up back of their home on Table factory on what is now Main Street. Lentz Street.

Salome Brumm, in 1867. The following year Jacob contracted for a larger plant, adding to smaller quarters and applying brick veneer to the exterior. In July 1876 The News reported that the new Lentz building “has been pronounced the finest threestory brick structure in Barry County.” (Note: It was located just behind the Buxton Block — which was not built until four years later and which now houses Grandma’s Greenery.) A month later the new plant was operational, turning out beds, tables, mirrors, coffins and other pieces. As was customary in those days, the furniture dealer was also the local undertaker. “Lentz & Sons have bought a new hearse for their un­ dertaking establishment,” observed The News in Oc­ tober 1876. “This is a need -that has long been felt in Nashville. Lentz has pur­ chased a large new stock of shrouds and with their new hearse are well equipped to serve the public when and where the Grim Reaper strikes.” Some 20 years later Lentz & Sons purchased a hearse rated as the finest in Barry County. A massive con­ veyance weighing 2,000 lbs., it was finished in walnut and silver, cost $1,200, and when hitched to a matched pair of grays made a “fine ap­ pearance”, noted The News. Filling a need of another sort kept the factory hum­ ming in the summer of 1876 when newly installed equipment turned out the new Brown bed springs designed to be adjustable from hard to soft at the. will of the occupant. They sold for $5 and were “worth the money”, according to The News. Two months later Lentz & Sons were called on to completely furnish 27 Unloading a shipment of lumber received by railroad at Lentz Table Company in this 1916-17 photo are, from left, Frank Hecker (on wagon); Dell White, Sandy Walker, John Woodard and Bert Heckathorn.

A water supply tank added in a 1906 expansion project towers over the 1891 Lentz St. factory, which thrived in its new location near the MCRR (later NYCRR)) line after its earlier location near Main Street was destroyed by fire. Specializing l in 18th century reproduction tables, the firm was founded in 1867 by Jacob Lentz, a French-born cabinetmaker who migrated to Nashville from New York State, and whose three sons later became his business partners. sleeping rooms in the new Wolcott House hotel built in 1878 on Nashville’s South Main. Almost from its inception, the Lentz business was reflected in the local economy. In December 1878 eight men were regularly employed in the plant; a quarter-century later that number had risen to 51, and it continued to climb past 100. In 1880 Jacob and his sons decided to construct a twostory brick showroom on Main Street to display fur­ niture they had manufac­ tured. The building would be located near the factory, and nowdays serves as the Masonic Temple. Eleven years later — in 1891 — tragedy struck. The Lentz factory burned to the ground. Discouraged by Nashville’s inadequate municipal water supply which offered little fire protection, Jacob Lentz, then in his late 60s, hesitated to rebuild. His three sons, however, had faith in the community and within a few weeks incorporated as the Lentz Table Company. A new site was acquired at the eastern limits of the village in a then-bare field and new quarters were built. The village fathers promptly ordered an 85,000-gallon standpipe constructed near the Thornapple to hold a supply of river water for firefighting and other non- consumptive purposes. The table factory thrived in its new location adjacent to the Michigan Central (later NYC) railroad line. “The Lentz Table Company, which has been in the fine new factory now for nearly 12 years, continues to be Nashville’s leading in­ dustry,” noted The News in August 1903. “It employs 51 men with an annual payroll of close to $20,000.” Talented Lentz craftsmen turned out furniture in a designs, variety of specializing in 18th century style tables. Many of those mangificent reproductions were sold nationwide and are still treasured and growing in value. The pieces are especially prized locally. Business at Lentz flourished to the extent that a two-story addition was made to the factory in 1906, and a drying kiln and transfer room added. Also that year, automatic sprinklers were installed and a water tower erected atop a 72-ft. tower. “It is quite an imposing affair, being one of the first objects seen when coming into town from any direc­ tion,” observed The News in May 1906. In 1915 Jacob Lentz died at age 96. His sons carried on the family business and prospered. Charles, who passed away in 1925, lived in what is now Vogt’s Funeral Home. Albert’s residence was the house just south of Putnam Public Library where Maple Leaf Florist is now located. He died in 1928. The remaining brother, Lewis, who resided in the present-day Dr. Morris Brown home across from the Catholic Church, lived until 1948. Albert’s sons Frank and Carl helped “Lew” carry on the Lentz operation. Though the company suffered the normal normal business business fluctuations, it survived the Great Depression. At the end of January 1943 Lewis and his nephew Frank retired, leaving Carl and Lewis’ grandson L. Lentz Chaffee in charge of the, business. Subsequent re­ organization followed, old equipment was replaced and the operation streamlined. Instead of the greatly diversified lines once manufactured, Lentz operated on a production basis with the entire staff generally working on only one or two models at a time. Eventually business tapered offand the plant was phased out. The old factory stood idle until sold in the 1960s to Plycoma Veneer. In 1977 the plant that the Lentz sons had built as a testimonial to their faith in Nashville was razed. A modern apartment complex now fills the site, but memories of the village’s longtime leading industry still remain.

The team had been competing with other SMAA schools since last fall. Rules of play are quite simple. The teams are asked questions in a large variety of areas, including math, science, history, literature, art, music, geography, theology, current events and sports. A team has the first chance to answer every other question. The team has 10 seconds in which to an­ swer. If the team has no answer, or answers in- correctly, the opposing team has five seconds in which to answer that same question. The only exception is in the area of math, for which one minute is allowed to compute (without calculators) the answer. League play this year was divided into two rounds, with the winner of the first round playing the winner of the second for the cham­ pionship. At the end of the first round, Maple Valley and Bellevue were tied at 5-1. (MV’s one loss was to Bellevue.) Bellevue won the Styling for the yIs Ij(©Af. . whole family...

(Bellevue’s one loss was to Maple Valley.) The play-off and the championship was won by Bellevue by a margin of only three questions. Twenty­ seven consecutive questions were answered correctly before either team erred. Because of this year’s procedure, even though they had a better overall record, Maple Valley came in second in the league. This procedure will not be used again next year. The Maple Valley team is made up of Tom McArthur (captain), Dan Lykins, Jeff Sleeper, Ann Hummel, Robert Adkins, John Myers, Mark Valdick, Kevin Wetzel, Audrey Dumont, Dawn Pixley, Nathaii Shogren, and Stephanie Walliczek. , The team’s, advisor, Carol Curtiss, comfhents, “Even though the team came in second in the league, they are by no means a second- Wed.

Tanzania, a country of nearly 18 million people, is beautiful with its plateaus and mountain ranges. In addition to those Tanzanians who speak the English and Swahili languages, there are more than 100 tribal groups who have their own distinctive languages and customs. About the work in Tan­ zania, Petersen remarks,“The success of a lasting work in Tanzania depends upon the strength of the local churches, and this in turn depends upon the ability and performances of the national church leadership. It is therefore crucial that these men and women be well trained in the Word of God and be en­ couraged by missionaries to prepare them for the in­ creasing demands and responsiblities placed upon them by this unprecendented growth.” The son of missionary parents, Petersen has lived in the countries of Liberia, Tanzania, and Nigeria, Africa. He completed his B.A. degree at North Central Bible College in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Prior to applying for missionary service,, the Petersens pastored Assemblies of God churches in Plateville, Wisconsin and Hudson, Michigan, and served as associate pastors in Ludington, Michigan. At this special missions service, Mr. Petersen will share the burden he and his wife have for ministry in Tanzania and the opop­ portunities available to them. The public is invited to attend. Rev. Jim Peterson, his wife Becky, and their two children (shown here) will be presenting a program on the Petersons missionary work in Tanzania on Sunday, April 8, at the Nashville Assembly of God.

Nashville, Tuesday, Aprils, 1984 'God's Prison Gang' to be shown April 8 God’s Prison Gang,” a newly released film featuring Al Capone’s getaway driver, the last member of Bonnie and Clyde’s gang and two other notorious criminals who have become Christians will be shown at Nashville Assembly of God, 735 Reed St., Nashville, on Sunday, April 8. The showing is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. The film, shot behind the walls of New York’s Attica prison, is hosted by Art Linkletter. It tells the story of how the work of In­ ternational Prison Ministry is accomplishing what more guards, higher prison walls and greater financial ex­ penditures have failed to do — keep released inmates from returning to lives of crime. Telling their stories in the 44-minute film are George Meyer, Al Capone’s favorite driver; Floyd Hamilton (Public Enemy No: 1) the last of the Bonnie and Clyde Gang; Jerry Graham, the “robber king” of California; and Ted Jefferson, convicted of crimes from drugs and robbery to murder. Also featured is “Chaplain Ray,” whose Dallas-based International Prison Ministry has changed the lives of thousands of inmates over the past 18 years. The Rev. Robert Taylor, pastor of Nashville Assembly of God church, said he hopes all citizens concerned about the problem of rising crime will attend the free screening of the film. .

Athletic Boosters to present school board with $8,225 by Bobbi Hoefler A check from the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters will be presented by Trustee Sue Bahs and Treasurer Sharon Stewart to the M.V. School Board this Wednesday to pay the 1983-84 winter sports expenses of $8,225.90. Along with the many volunteers who helped raise these funds, M.V.A.B. wishes to thank the following coaches for their many hours and enthusiasm toward our program: varsity basketball - Jerry Reese, junior varsity - Jim Ferrier, freshmen Don Blakely and Roger Sch­ wab, eighth grade - Mike Booher, seventh grade Randy Betts and Tom Frith; varsity wrestling Chris Ricketts, junior varisty Glenn Gurd; varsity volleyball - Bill Christensen, junior varsity Martha Christensen; varsity, junior varsity and freshmen cheerleaders Marilyn Roush, eighth grade- Sharon Varney, seventh grade Julie Hamilton; and our athletic director, Larry Lenz. The winter sports season came to an end last month with the awarding of pins, letters, trophies and ap- plause to our athletes and coaches. At the traditional Awards Night, the audience was treated to descriptions and summaries of athletic ac­ complishments and warmly welcomed yet another SM AA championship team as the varsity basketball team took center stage. And as the coaching staff has so often reminded them, the Wildest ‘wedding’ of cental? debuts this weekend by Susan Hinckley Tickets are now on sale in Hastings and Vermontville, as well as locally, for Nash­ ville’s “Womanless Wed­ ding”, set for Friday and Saturday evening, April 13­ 14, at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School.

Irene Furlong and a staff of local volun­ teers will apply the lipstick, rouge, etc., as needed, both at the rehearsal and before each performance. Show time is 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Tickets will be available at the door but advance purchase is encouraged by organizers to facilitate the expected capacity crowds. Admission is $3 for adults and $2 for children age 12 and under. Chamber President Judy Quantrell predicts that several people will probably attend both shows. “There will be something different each night,” she said, noting that the actors will be ad-libbing during the scriptless play. The only speaking part called for in the presentation is that of the butler, played by Rev. Lester DeGroot, who will introduce each one of the “wedding party members” and “guests” as he or “she” enters the scene. The cast includes men from all walks of life and all ages — from high school lads to senior citizens. As pre-show en­ tertainment each evening, a small jazz band led by Duane Thatcher, music director at Maple Valley schools, will play for about 15-30 minutes. During the “wedding”, piano accompaniment will be provided by Thatcher. “We are billing this as the wildest wedding of the century,” said Mrs. Quantrell. In addition to the Nashville and Vermontville men ap­ pearing in the show, there will be a few from Charlotte and Hastings who are known in this area. Mrs. Caskey, who holds a franchise for the production, said each par­ ticipant in the “wedding” generally draws a following of 10 to 12 fans in the audience. A similar event staged for three consecutive evenings last October in Charlotte, under Caskey’s direction, was a howling success and drew capacity crowds each night. audience took the chance to enjoy and appreciate the total person inside the uniform while listening to two M.V. seniors, Debbie Carl and Jeff Starring. After Debbie received gifts, compliments and gratitude from her fellow cheerleaders, she replied with heartfelt thanks to them, her family, friends and teachers. Jeff, captain and spokesman for the varsity basketball team, did an excellent job of thanking Coach Reese, Mrs. Reese for sewing the warm-up suits, the cheerleaders, his parents, Mrs. Hamilton for making the beautiful gift for Coach Reese, our terrific jazz band under the direction of Mr. Thatcher, and all the loud and loyal fans. These two honor students area perfect example of how sports rounds out our academic program, giving us students we can all be proud of at M.V. Now that spring sports have begun, M.V.A.B. will be raising money for such expenses as: three dozen softballs - $126, one stop­ watch - $27; two starting blocks - $40; one set of pole vault standards, $160; seven dozen baseballs - $258; one catcher’s glove, $64; $40 worth of ice packs, officials and umpires - approximately $1,000; estimated bus travel $1,500; and due to a new heighth requirement for hurdles, Boosters bought 40 new hurdles totaling $1,558. As you can see, the expenses add up quickly and this season has no gate receipts to offset the total. At the March meeting, Boosters decided to order a new snowfence for our baseball field at a cost of $241.28. Chairman Bertie Forell reported a profit of $711 from the 50-50 Drawings held during the winter months. This money will help pay for new uniforms for the wrestling team. The Boosters will be working hard during the 1984 Maple Syrup Festival at the Pancake Breakfast (in connection with the Ver­ montville American Legion Post), the hot dog booth and the dunking booth. Come see and take a shot at the roster of good sports sitting in the newly constructed dunking booth.

Grass, barn and chimney fires keep Fire Dept, busy by Susan Hinckley The Nashville Fire Dept, responded to 11 calls — most of them grass fires — in as many days in the last week and a half, and Fire Chief Douglas Yarger reminds area residents that open burning without a permit is unlawful. To obtain a permit to burn, one must contact the Nash­ ville Fire Dept. Yarger also said residents burning trash in barrels must have screens on top of those containers. One day last week Nash­ ville firefighters assisted Hastings in battling a grass fire, as that,department was tied up with three such fires at the same time. On Monday last week, fire of an undetermined origin destroyed a barn at the Richard Carrigan place at 9153 Lawrence Road, Nash­ ville. The blaze was discovered by a grandson of the Carrigans who was playing in the yard at the time and alerted his grand­ mother. Yarger said contents loss has been set at $3,500 but structural damage estimates were not available at the time of this report. Firefighters were on the scene an hour and a half. Tuesday, the Nashville Fire Dept, responded to a house fire call at the Albert Coleman residence at 8678 Bivens Road, where a chimney fire caused about $2,500 in damage. Easter Cantata set for Sunday The Vermontville Methodist Choir will present Joe E.

Please come and enjoy this beautiful story of Easter at the Vermontville Methodist Church. �The Maple Valley NewsfTH^shMiUe, Tuesday, April 10, 1984 — Page 2 Nashville News The “gremlins” that are known to inhabit newsrooms apparently got into last week’s Nashville News column and lifted several lines of copy from an item about longtime Nashville physician Dr. E. T. Morris. In that piece we told how Art and Brenda Stewart had donated to the local history room at Putnam Public Library a hand-painted sign reading “Dr. E. T. Morris, Nashville”. The Stewarts recently found the sign in the garage of their home of 109 Phillips Street, and we pointed out that it is unknown how the sign came to be in that location. The “gremlins” deleted part of our further explanation that Morris, who served the local community for 60 years, had his office in the present-day Wolever Real Estate building on South Main and lived in the large home just behind it. When he first came to Nashville in 1898, the young doctor established his practice in quarters above the Ed Liebhauser drug store (now Mace Pharmacy) and moved to the former Dr. Comfort property on South Main in 1903. A gift last week to the Michigan and Local History collection at Putnam Public Library came last week from former local resident Howard Belson and wife Ruth, of rural Hastings. It is a framed copy of “The Tourist’s Pocket Map of Michigan,” published in 1839 in Philadelphia. An in­ teresting feature of the map is the designation of steamboat routes on the Great Lakes. The Belsons acquired the map at an auction. It once hung in the office of the old Horner Woolen Mills at Eaton Rapids. fhe Pastor-Parish Relations Committee of United Methodist Church will meet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 10, at the church. Good thing your reporter is quick of eye and fleet of foot or some other scribe would be filling this space for a while (or longer)! The old hardware store lot on Nash­ ville’s Main Street has been frequently used in the past few years as a parking area, though gobs and gobs of paved survace slots are availalbe just a few steps behind it on the new municipal lot Most drivers enter and exit the graveled area from the west, but some apparently think it’s simpler to jump the Main Street curb and cross’ the sidewalk to reach their destination. One such reckless motorist was northbound on Main Street Monday morning when he decided he wanted to park as quickly as possible in the gravel lot. He swung sharply to the left and jumped the curb in my footpath. With autos parked parallel to the curb on either side of the “opening,” he could not possible have had any clear vision of sidewalk traffic especially of northbound pedestrians walking close to the curb. At any rate, he never even bothered to look. Modern physics have proved that every atom of our body is composed of protons, electrons— particles of energy or electricity. There is really no such thing as 'solid matter'. As molecules of water are heated, the vibration rate increases, until the water changes from liquid to vapor and disappears from human sight. Com­ paratively, as we humans become more spiritual — as we practice God's commandment to "Love thy neighbor as thy self" — our vibration rate increases. Jesus Christ in his perfect love was so highly spiritual that the atoms of his body were transfigured — of such high vibratory rate as to be weightless — permitting Him to walk on water, and to ascend into heaven ... out of sight. Why should this be so unbelievable, in this age of modern physics?

After the art of capturing “sweet water” from maples was learned by white explorers watching Great Lakes area Indians, syrup became nearly as magnetic as lumber and furs in attracting pioneers to Michigan. Locally, the sweet bounty proved to be quite profitable. “Henry Bowen of Maple Grove, who has possibly the largest sugar bush in Barry County, has made more than 4,000 lbs. of maple sugar this season,” advised The News at the end of April 1877. “He can now take it easy until corn planting time.” The township of Maple Grove, where Bowen’s farm was located, was just what the name implies, according to a remembrance of old times written by Leo Herrick and published in The Nash­ ville News in 1962. “Around the turn of the century, and up to about 1908, before so many of the majestic hard (sugar) maples were slaughtered, the township of Maple Grove produced enormous quan­ tities of maple syrup and maple sugar,” noted Herrick, who grew up in the area. “Of course, Nashville was the shipping point or hub of the industry.” early News accounts, and Maple sugar was shipped fine sugar was selling that from Nashville to almost year for 25 cents a pound. Unlike today, there were every state in the Union In 1881, Nashville shipped a no state laws governing sale total of 145,476 pounds of of syrup in the early 1900s. “Nobody ever weighed the sugar by rail, the greatest amount of sugar shipped syrup, or sealed or labeled Sampling the sweet harvest at the Mater sugar bush north of Nashville are, from any town in Michigan it,” wrote Herrick. standing from left, Clarence, Elmer and John Mater; and seated from left, Effie,, “They just poured the stuff that year.

In other competition in which the boys entered cakes they had baked and decorated with the help of their fathers, Matt Stadel took first place honor with his USA flag cake topped with a blue and gold Cub Scout cap. Mark Trowbridge took second place in the cake contest, and Jeff Laverty, third. Serving as genius kit judges were Becky Knoll and Theresa Hopkins. Alta Jones and Pat O’Dell did the cake Genius judging. After the judging the cakes were auctioned for the benefit of the scouting program. While adults en­ joyed bidding on cakes in the all-purpose room at Maplewood School, the scouts gathered in the hallway for a cake-walk. In that event, plates of cup­ cakes and cookies furnished by the scouting families present were prizes for winners. The scouts paid ten cents to enter the contest, and each was limited to one win only. Surplus commodities distribution slated to begin April 18 Hold the bologna! The cheese is here again.

Each person requesting this food needs to bring identification to verify their income, address, and family size. The last such distribution was held in February 1984. In Barry County, more than 6,000 individuals from 2,755 households received cheese and butter. Over 3,100 fivepound loaves of processed cheese and 4,500 pounds of butter was distributed in that month in Barry County alone. There are 23 commodity distribution sites in Calhoun and 12 sites in Barry County. The site facilities are donated by community groups such as churches, service organizations, and township offices. Staffing of the sites is done entirely by volunteers. Over 120 people in Calhoun and 60 people in Barry County have con­ tinued to donate their time in delivery and unloading of commodities, verifying income eligibility of recipients, delivery to shut­ ins, and accountability reporting. The Community Action Agency (CAASCM) has been the local distributing agency of this program since its inception in January 1982 when it was to be a one-time distribution effort. Since that time, the CAASCM has coordinated ten such USDA distributions in its fourcounty (Barry, Branch, Calhoun, and St. Joseph) service area. The program is scheduled on the federal level to run at least through Sept. 1985.

(Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) A look at Vermontville's past. . by Esther Shepard On May 27, 1836, the land was bought for the Union Colony, later known as Vermontville, in this wild North West Territory. Coming in now from the south, there you see the small growth but not the large trees, with grape and other vine that once made it impossible to see through. There were few settlers here in 1831, though. The first step was the Treaty of Saginaw in 1819 with the Chippewas to open this territory and then the building of Erie Canal. This colony was all planned by Rev. Sylvester Cochrane a congregational minister from East Poult­ ney, Vermont who came in 183 but found the settlers so scattered that it was difficult to organize schools or churches. Back home he took his ideas to families interested in moving, and on March 27, 1836 at Castelton, Vermont, rules and regulations were drawn up for what was to be a Union Colony, (this document is unique and is on file in the office of the Register of Deed). Two of the rules were, first a committee of two to pass on the worthiness of the ap­ plicants for memberships; and to be accepted one had to definitely and thoroughly be opposed to the use of liquor in any form. A committee of three were to explore and purchase the land S.S. Church, William Henry and J.B. Scovill, On April 2, 1833, Church and Henry left with the colony’s money in a cowhide valise. In western New York they were met by Wait J. Squier. Upon reaching Detroit they waited twenty-four hours for the state - an open wagon because of the roads being bad, in addition to paying their fare - they had to help pry the wagon out of the mud where the holes were the deepest. Their objective was the United States Land Office at Kalamazoo - also just founded was a Land Office in Ionia. They found the land through Colonel Barnes, a surveyor. Only one other parcel had been purchased in the township on section 19. On May 27 the land was bought, when others with Wait J. Squier, who did the surveying. East and West, one mile, 40 rods long and one-half mile North and South. There were 36 lots, each extending 80 rods, containing 10 acres from the four center lots, one acre was taken for the Village Square. The farm lots of 160 acres were located around the village as agreed in Vermont, these acres 160 and 10 were $212.50. Bellevue was the nearest place to get green tea, also the Post Office and the grist mill were located there. Most of the trading was done in Marshall and at the saw mill at Kalamo. It was from the saw mill at Kalamo that Wait J. Squier drew his lumber for the first frame house in 1837-38. The first school was taught in a private home and in 1838 a log school and church was builton the square where,the Chapel, built in 1843, now stands, (designated as a Historical Site June 7, 1970) with the First Congregational Church built in 1861 and finished in 1864. Both the church (1971) and chapel (1972) were placed on the National Register, also the Opera on April 30, 1978. The chapel was also an academy when an Academical Association was formed in 1846 with Rev. W.U. Benedict as first superintendent. Rev. Benedict was the second minster who came in 1842. Sawy or Saaba, the chief of the local Indians, the Pot­ tawatomies, was a frequent visitor in the area. Indians would come every spring to the bank of the Thornapple. Mobile Home Insurance?

In a separate but nearby woods, Martin used the contemporary tubing taps to speed up collection. by Susan Hinckley The old ways of syrup­ making mesh beautifully with the new in the Merle Martin sugar bush operation northeast of Vermontville. Half of the approximately 3,000 taps in Martin’s sprawling woods sprout traditional covered buckets, but spiles on maples in another scenic stand connect to an elaborate system of plastic tubing. Sap is pulled by a gasoline-powered air compressor into a central collection point then pushed by a pump through other lines into a 1,000-gallon stainless steel holding tank located near road’s edge for convenient transportation to the Martin sugar shanty on Brown Road. Martin has used the plastic tubing system the past six years. “It has cut down on manpower,” noted Martin. “We used to figure it took 200 gallons of syrup to break even.” In another innovative move, Martin has departed from the traditional wood or conventional natural or bottled gas to fire his giant Canadian-made evaporator. Instead, he burns used oil which he collects from area gas stations, maintenance garages, implement dealers, and such. “We cgn boil two days, all day long, for $5,” said Martin. The rapid-firing oil furnace speeds up produc­ tion and eases operation. “My wife, Marlene, can boil all afternoon while I’m g RC, Diet Rite, RC100, g b and Nehi Flavors 8 PACK d ll ^^4 fe iRiinri .51 =' ;,i-.cola, $1<91*91 Iplus ■ nDrEpPnOcSiIT £3 2 e 14” PIZZAS for* RENO’S S3 ^3 • S3 Detroit • State Free Press Journal * Fish Finder (FREE) HOT COFFEE Oven Fresh BAKERY PRODUCTS Instant Lottery Tickets VALVOLINE OIL 10W30 10W40 BEER - WINE - PACKAGED LIQUOR 2996 N.

The only drawback, he noted, is that the oil system is “noisier and a little messier.” Martin can produce 200 gallons of syrup per 1,000 of used oil — a ratio he finds very economical. And for the most part he is able to barter for the fuel. Many service station and garage owners are happy to trade a quantity of used oil for a gallon of freshly-made maple syrup. In one season Martin will use between 3,000 and 4,000 gallons of oil to produce his syrup. In years past he has produced as much as 900 gallons of syrup. This year, on the last day of March, he had tallied some 400 gallons but expected more. “We ought to get in a couple more hundred,” he predicted. The only other area producer using the used oil system is Albert Bell of Nashville, said Martin, who became a member of the Vermontville Syrup Association in 1957 and has exhibited and sold his sweet produce at the annual Vermontville Syrup Festival each spring since that time. ' We will be among the area producers showing and selling at the 1984 festival the last weekend of April, with the price established at $20 per gallon. Martin also will offer sugar candy made for him by his sister, Marilyn Adams. The products also are available throughout the season at the Martin Sugar Shanty on Brown Road. That roomy log cabin which serves as headquarters for the Martin operation was built in 1976 with the help of several boys who had been members of baseball teams that Martin coached as a volunteer over a number of years. The building is divided into a boiling room on one side, and a cozy reception room complete with field stone fireplace and comfortable furniture on the other. Martin’s parents, the late Plastic spiles and "miles" of tubing are the modern way to ease the arduous annual task of sap collection. The system cuts down on manpower Martin needs to tend his 3,000 taps. Archie Martin and Mrs. Mildred Martin Greenman now of Climax, started the original family syrupmaking business, with the late George Firster of Vermontville in charge of boiling for a number of years. John Viele also boiled for Martin the last season before Archie’s death. A full time farmer with 600 acres and a milk herd of 34 to tend, Merle carries on the tradition with the help of his wife Marlene, their sons Mark and Marty, his nephew Tai Gearhart, neighbors Ken Cowell, Mike Platte and others, and a couple of Amish boys who live in the area.

Brown Road shanty. “Before gasoline got so high we used to have a lot of people drive here from as far away as Detroit,” said Martin. On Sundays the road would be lined on both sides with autos.” The Martin sugar bush has served as an interesting outing for senior citizen groups as well as a field trip for students in schools throughout this region. “We’ve had lots of letters from those kids,” added Martin. One of the more prominent visitors to show up at the sugar shanty on Brown Road in 1982 was Dick Evans, host of the popular “On the Michigan Road” series for WOTV-Grand Rapids. As a special treat, the Ver­ montville syrup queen and her court were on hand to prepare a pancake-andsyrup meal for Evans. The day after that show aired on Channel 8, noted Martin, ‘‘We had three carloads of Grand Rapids people show up at our shanty wanting pancakes.” Merle Martin draws off a fresh batch of syrup from his giant Canadian-made evaporator - fired economi­ cally with used oil.

In open areas and abandoned fields consider clump plantings of evergreens 50 to 100 feet in diameter bordered with a row or two of autumn olive. This creates both food and cover for a small area which will be used by rabbits, pheasants, songbirds, etc., creating a good mix of cropland, woodland, open areas and food and cover plantings will attract the most wildlife to an area.

Cooley & S. Bishop. Minutes of the March Meeting were read and approved. Treasurer's report same as annual meeting 3-31-84. SENATE PASSES TAX CUT - The Michigan Senate adopted a rollback in the state income tax rate that would reduce the current rate of 6.1 percent to 5.35 percent on July 1, 1984, and further reduce it to 4.6 percent on July 1, 1985. However, Governor Blanchard has vowed to veto the Senate tax cut plan, should it also pass the House. STATE PRISON INMATES WOULD PAY ROOM. BOARD - Republican-sponsored legislation has been in­ troduced in the Michigan House of Representatives that would require all inmates in Michigan’s 11 state prison facilities to pay for their room and board during their in­ carceration. ENERGY THEFT LAWS SIGNED BY GOVERNOR Legislation that would make the damaging or altering of a utility meter a misdemeanor has been signed into law by the governor. Nearly 45,000 suspected or confirmed cases of energy theft existed in 1982, at a cost to utilities and their customers of nearly $6.6 million. The measure allows for a presumption of intent to steal energy if a tampered meter is discovered at a residence or place of business, providing a strong deterrent against such tampering. While an energy theft under $500 would be considered a misdemeanor, a theft of over $500 would be considered a felony. REPUBLICAN HEALTH CARE PLAN GETS GOVENOR’S ENDORSEMENT - A House Republican health care cost containment program, introduced earlier this year has received the support of the governor. House Bill 4735 would establish an annual budget for hospital capital expenditures that would be limited to no more than the average of aggregate hospital capital expenditures for the previous five years. Hospital costs are increasing 12 to 15 percent every year and a limit on those expenditures would help contain the cost of health care, supporters of the legislation maintain. MICHIGAN HISTORY AVAILABLE - The March-April issue of Michigan History, the state’s official history publication, contains stories including one on a three-foot cherry pie baked for President Calvin Coolidge, the origins of the peppermint oil industry in Michigan, historic farm photos and a history of Iron County. Single copies are available from the Michigan History Division, Department of State, Lansing, MI 48918 for $2, and a yearly subscription is available for $9.95. The publication is printed every two months. FINISHING TOUCHES ON THE STATE BUDGET - The Michigan House of Representatives continues to work on the proposed budget for the fiscal year 1984-85, which begins October 1. After the House has completed work on the budget, it will move to the Senate where further changes are expected. If the House and Senate versions of the budget vary, conference committees will be established to iron out the differences.

Motion to adjourn supported - no further business meeting adjourned at 9:34 p.m. Sharon Bishop Castleton Township Clerk From our readers To the Editor: Many of us were shocked to read the article about Karen Scotton the front page of the Maple Valley News. How could anyone by so cruel as to do this to her parents who live in Ver­ montville? I guess one reason why the world is in so much trouble is because we have forgotten to care for other people. We have forgotten the meaning of the world sympathy. “I” come first regardless of how many “I” hurt. Let’s all be more kind and caring for our fellowmen. Think before we act. Dry the tears of others - dont’s cause them. I hope the author of the article takes a second thought. They lost a lot of friends. Greta Firster To the Editor: As former neighbors and concerned individuals, we wish to voice our disapproval over the reporting in this paper of the unfortunate and untimely death of Karen Scott. Being one of the major advertisers in this paper, we want to disassociate our­ selves from such an in­ sensitive article. John & Mary Rodriguez Dear Editor: I think the article about Karen Sue Scott’s death mentioned in the Maple Valley paper, April 3, as a whole was in bad taste.

The town’s 44th annual Maple Syrup Festival features demonstrations of syrup, making, parades, meals of pancakes and pure maple syrup, artsand crafts, contests and plenty of musical entertainment. The festival originated in 1940 to serve as a market outlet for area syrup the and producers celebration continues to promote the sale of maple products from local sugar bush owners. “The syrup is excellent this year,” says Norma Viele, secretary of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Corporation. This year’s grand parade at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 28 will feature more bands, she said. A new festival addition will be the performance of the 1st Marine Band of Howell which will present a concert from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the grounds behind the village museum. The band, which will also be in the parade, is comprised of more than 60-musicians. The weekend’s festivities will get underway with a 6:30 p.m. talent show Friday (April 27) on the downtown stage. Amusement rides will also be available from 6 p.m. that day through Sunday evening. On April 28, the Saturday line-up will begin with the opening of an arts and crafts show at 9 a.m. at Maplewood Elementary School. The show will be held until 4 p.m. that day and also during those same hours on Sunday, April 29. Downtown festivities will open with an invocation by Rev. William Trump of the First Congregational Church at 9:30 a.m., followed by greetings from Beverly Vermonville’s Villanueva, newly elected first woman village president; Stanley Trumble, syrup association president; and Pat O’Dell, chamber of commerce, president. The West Ottawa Dutch Dancers from Holland, Mi. will perform on S. Main St. at 10 a.m. and the children’s parade will step-off at 10:30 a.m. Kristie Hosey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Hosey of Shaytown Rd., Vermontville, will be crowned as the 1984 Vermontville Syrup Queen during an 11 a.m. coronation. Serving on Miss Hosey’s court are Audrey Dumont, alternate queen; Dawn Hampton, Gina Lehman and Lindy Hoffman. At 11:30 a.m., the outdoor stage will be the scene of performances by the winners of the Friday (April 27) talent show. Entertainment by Al’s One Man Variety Band, featuring Allen Mott of Cassopolis, will begin on the outdoor stage at 1 p.m. The Grand Parade at 2 p.m. will feature a variety of entries including antique cars and some new com­ mercial floats. Mildred Martin Greenman, honored citizen of the celebration, will be the parade grand marshal. Now a resident of Climax, Mrs. Greenman lived in Vermontville Township for 40-years and was a member of the local maple syrup association for 25-years and served on the festival board and worked on various committees. A former syrup producer, she’s helped to promote the sale of maple products at the festival, the Michigan State Fair and to service clubs in Eaton County. Mrs. Greenman’s son, Merle Martin, and his wife, Marlene, continue the family syrup-making business she and her late husband, Archie Martin, started. A tea, hosted by the local Women’s Club will be held from 2-5 p.m. at the library. At 3 p.m. the Scottville Clown Band and a bagpipe band, will entertain down­ town. Both are scheduled to appear in the parade too. After their acts, more talent winners will perform and the * ILCUME M The grand parade at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 28 will be one of the highlights of the Vermontville Syrup Festival.

A new event for children, a “Puff Dragon” tractor pedal pull, will take place about 6 p.m. The competition will be conducted in the same* manner as adult contests of large-sized farm tractors. A square dance will be held at the Maple Valley High School at 7:30 p.m. Syrup making demon- Senior Girls’Tea features color analysis program by Susan Hinckley The annual Senior Girls’ Tea — an event as fresh and bright as springtime — was held Wednesday evening, April 11, at Maple Valley High School. Approximately 75 persons attended the traditional affair hosted by the Nash­ ville Woman’s Literary Club, which alternates yearly sponsorship with the Ver­ montville Woman’s Club. Highlighting the program was a presentation by Myrtle Chandler of Battle Creek, one of 200 certified con­ sultants in the USA for Color Me Beautiful, Inc., a Virginia-based personal color analysis system that helps clients determine appropriate shades for fashions and makeup based on skin tones, hair and eye color. The company uses four seasons to categorize unique coloring of clients. With large colored fabric drapes and an expert eye, a con­ sultant is able to determine whether a winter,-- spring, summer or fall spectrum suits an individual — and then encourages her to use tones related to that season for clothing and makeup. Mrs. Chandler said many people ask her, “What is color analysis going to do for me?” She added that her response is, “You will not just look good, but you will the centerpiece of attraction at the event in the MVHS cafeteria was a refreshment table beautifully decorated in shades of dusty rose and cream - chosen colors of the Class of 1984. ( Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) look your best. And you will find you feel so much more comfortable in clothes that look good on you.” An extra bonus is that color analysis simplifies wardrobe coor­ dination since all shades within a specific season go well together. As part of the service, clients are provided with their own colored fabric swatches in a convenient wallet-sized vinyl case to aid them in clothing selections. The program also offers advice on makeup and hair colors and how to use color to combine articles of clothing. “Why look good when great is just a shade away?” asked Mrs. Chandler. Color Me Beautiful also offers presentations designed to meet the special needs of melt Following Mrs. Chandler’s presentation the senior girls and their mothers were treated to a style show of spring and summer fashions from Country Wardrobe in Charlotte. Local women served as models. Linda Boldrey, president of the Nashville WLC, moderated the event. A brief welcome also was given by Mary Fisher, president of the Vermontville club. MVHS teacher Carol Continued on page 9 strations will be given at Maple Manor on both Saturday and Sunday. Old­ time melodramas will also be presented at the historic opera house. A farmyard zoo, hosted by the Ver­ montville Junior Farmers 4­ H Club, will be open on Saturday only near the Methodist Church. Pancake and sausage meals will be served Saturday and Sunday at two locations. The Maple Valley Band Boosters will serve meals in the fire barn and the American Legion and the local athletic boosters will be cooking at the American Legion headquarters. On Saturday, chicken barbeque dinners will be served at the Methodist Church and a roast beef dinner will be held at the First Congregational Church. The Vermontville Lions will be preparing steak sandwiches and chicken on Saturday and Sunday. Exhibits on early Ver­ montville may be viewed at the village’s museum from 2­ 5 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, and on Sunday afternoon. Other events on Sunday, April 29 will include Union Church Services at 10:45 Mildred Martin a.m. at the First Congregational Church; Al’s One Man Band at 12 noon; and arm wrestling at 1 p.m. A variety of contests will be part of the afternoon. Scheduled are a wood chopping contest, a pancake derby, egg toss and pig catch. The pancake derby has been revised this year and will be primarily an eating contest. At past festivals, the derby race involved mixing and cooking pancakes too. Parking is available at Maple Valley High School and a shuttle bus service will take visitors to the downtown area. The bus also serves the local campground areas. For additional information about the festival, call (517) 726-0394. Nashville Village Council makes committee selections by Susan Hinckley Appointments of standing council committees for the 1984-85 fiscal year were announced Monday by Nash­ ville Village President John Hughes at the first meeting of the new council. Serving his first session on that board was newcomer Robert Harvey, who won a trustee post in the March election. Incumbent trustees Carl Tobias and George Frith also were reelected in that race. All will serve two- year terms which com­ menced 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 Robert Harvey; Finance Richard Chaffee, chairman; Gerald Kent and Carl Tobias; Parks, Library and Lights George Frith, chairman; Continued on page 8 �The Maple Valley News^jgshville. Tuesday, April 17. 1984 — Page 2 Nashville News The Maple Valley com­ munity is gearing up for Easter weekend activities. In what is becoming an annual tradition in Nash­ ville, the local Friends of the Library will conduct their pre-Easter bake sale on Saturday, April 21, from 9 a.m. ’til noon at Comerica Bank. Organizers hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to have the FOL help ease your holiday baking chores. Proceeds will go toward the many fine projects sponsored by the FOL to benefit Putnam Public Library. Another local tradition will be observed Saturday, April 21, when the 1984 edition of the annual Easter Egg Hunt gets underway at 3 p.m. The event at Sandyland Park on M-79 at the west edge of Nashville is sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce and organized by Carl’s Market. Merchants throughout the community will donate prizes for the event. In a slight departure from past procedure, candy eggs will be used in place of the hard-boiled variety. But, as in the past, they will still be secreted on the grounds of the park in various areas designated for particular age groups to allow younger children an equal op­ portunity to find the eggs. While most will be candy, there will be a number of hollow plastic eggs on the grounds. Each one of these will contain a slip of paper entitling the finder to a particular prize or award. In case of rain, the Hunt will be postponed one week. The event is open to all children up to age 12. The annual community Good Friday service in Nashville will be held this year at the Church of the Nazarene on Fuller Street from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Several churches are par­ ticipating in the cooperative service, and various local ministers will be speaking during the program which has the theme, “The Seven Last Words of Christ”. Special music will be fur­ nished by groups from the various participating churches. Rev. Thomas Voyles, pastor of the host church, cordially invites the public to attend the Good Friday service, April 20. Easter Sunrise Service will commence at 6:30 a.m. at the Nashville United Methodist Church. The church choir will perform a mini-cantata during the event, and after the service they will have charge of a breakfast to be held for the congregation in the Com­ munity House, starting at 7:30 a.m. Regular worship service will commence at 9:45 a.m. Easter Sunday. Other churches in the Nashville community are observing regular worship service hours on Easter Sunday. Donald Leaf, director of the business and technical services division of the state library of Michigan, will be at Maple Grove Township Hall at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 18, for a meeting with the local library board and governmental officials to explain the various aspects of financing library operations and to answer questions regarding merits of having Maple Grove Township join Castleton Township and the village of Nashville as part of the Putnam Public Library district. The public is welcome to attend the session. April 17 is a special an­ niversary for Gary Stalcup of Union City, as he marks his 20th year as driver for United Parcel Service on a route which serves the Maple Valley community. Gary tells us that when he first started coming to this vicinity he averaged from 16 to 25 stops per day in the combined NashvilleVermontville area.

The Stalcups have two grown daughters and four grandchildren, whom they enjoy very much. It seems 1984 is a banner year for the Stalcups. Besides Gary marking his 20th anniversary with UPS, in July the couple will celebrate their silver wedding an­ niversary. The Builders Class of Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 25, with Rev. and Mrs. Leonard Putnam at the parsonage. Paula Rasey of Nashville lost three pounds in one week to be named top weekly weight loss winner when God’s No-Munch Bunch met Monday for their weigh-in at Nashville Baptist Church. The Nashville Syrup Association closed out their 1984 boiling season on April 10, with a tally of more than 900 gallons of syrup. Last year’s total was only 510. This was an unusual season in many ways, according to Harold Christiansen, NSA president and longtime volunteer in. the community sugar bush project. Tapping was early — February 12 — and a record amount of sap was collected and boiled in that month. But in March there were two weeks when “we didn’t get anything at all,” noted Christiansen. Then the sap started running again and, he said,, “We tthought it was never going to stop!” Sugar content was considerably below normal this year, added Christiansen, The NSA syrup has been selling well, -but there is still plenty available — and, in fact,. some left from the 1983 season. Three local outlets, Comerica Bank, Mace Pharmacy and Carl’s Market, have NSA syrup for sale. In addition, Carl’s Market in Sunfield is also carrying it. During the boiling season, syrup also was sold at the Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park where Sunday visitors frequently stop. Nashville’s civic sugar bush project dates back to 1942. Proceeds each year are divided among participating local organizations and benefit the community in many ways. The Council on Ministries of the local United Methodist Church will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 17, to be followed by an 8 p.m. meeting of the Administrative Board. Both meetings are at the church. Nashville’s Class of 1934 is planning a get-together prior to the annual alumni banquet. The reunion will be held from 3 to 5 p.m., June 9, at the Community Center in Putnam Park.

The event is sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce and organized by Carl's which has supplied over 3,000 candy eggs to be hidden on the grounds in divisions for children from tots to 12. Special plastic eggs will hold certificates for prizes doqpted by various local mer­ chants. E.T. in this photo was made and presented by Janet Jarman of Nashville, a longtime volunteer in the yearly Hunt. In case of rain the event will be post­ poned one week. ~ (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) Phyllis (Corrigan) Babcock; Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Purchis and Farrell Babcock are spearheading the event. Also planning a later reunion is Nashville’s Class of 1931. Marion (Snow) Johnson of Charlotte tells us they will meet in July, on the 22nd, at the Community Center building, and she hopes this notice will alert folks who wish to attend so that they will be sure to reserve the date. Clarence and Margaret Reid of Nashville visited her sister and husband, Jean and Walter Endsley of Hastings, Sunday afternoon. Monday, the Reids were supper guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Reid, Jr. of Hastings.

HAPPY EASTER From our readers Irene's Beauty Shop To the Editor: Many times I’ve heard people make negative comments about people that are receiving government assistance such as A.D.C. or General Assistance.

Corsages and boutonnieres "J J MrttuiWk MBiaW assistance programs. I have come across some facts tht hopefully will make people more aware of the income and laws regarding people on assistance. The average amount a person receives in an A.D.C. family is $5.41 per day. A person receives $3.88 per day and another $1.53 in food stamps per day. A family on the General Assistance, program, receives less. Consider the items to be purchased with $5.41 a day; food, clothing, rent, heat, utilities, transportation, hygiene, school supplies, towels, sheets, baby products, furniture, household needs and a multitude of other items. The state requires that people receiving assistance either work off their grant monthly (at minimum wage) or go to school to receive their high school diploma before sending them to work. Only people who are han­ dicapped or have children under six months of age are exempt from this law. Perhaps these figures will clear up some of the misconceptions of welfare recipients.

(517) 726-0133 The ability to laugh at one's seif - a sometimes rare and always special gift - was a talent demonstrated without reserve last week by 68 local men who comprised the cast of Nashville’s Wotnanless Wedding, staged Friday and Saturday evenings at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr High School. A total of over 1,100 per­ sons saw the show The production, the first of its kind held here in over 20 years, was sponsored as a fund-raiser by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce and directed by Beverly Caskey of Stockbridge, who holds a franchise for the Womanless Wedding shows. Organizers rate the event a huge success, but not just financially. They say the greatest benefit to the community came through the laughter and warmth generated by the production in which half the cast ap­ peared in female roles as guests or bridal party members in what was billed as the “Wildest wedding of the century." The fun for the cast, which included participants from Vermontville, Charlotte and Hastings as well as Nash­ ville, started Wednesday evening when they met with Mrs. Caskey at St. Cyril Parish Hall for distribution of costumes and props and an explanation of the role each would play in the virtually-scriptless play. Full dress rehearsal Thursday evening at the The three bad little brothers of the bride played games with the bride's twin sisters to disrupt the formal occasion. school gave men first taste of makeup and, for some, the agonies of high­ heeled shoes and pantyhose. Local volunteers Anne Kent and Phyllis Frith helped with the costuming, including appropriate padding where needed, while Irene Furlong had charge of wigs and makeup, aided by a staff of 15 local women: Ruth Hughes, Lucy Mater, Brinda Hawkins, Thelma Christopher, Bobbie Weller, Lois Barton, Susan Corkwell, Becky Behrndt, Elaine Gardner, Lois Elliston, Kay Spaulding, Sharon Brumm, Elaine Southworth, Sherry Levering, and Helen Elliston As pre-show en­ tertainment both Friday and Saturday evenings, the audience was delighted by the -music of the talented MVHS jazz band led by Duane Thatcher, who later served as pianist during the wedding performance. Pastor Lester DeGroot, cast in the role of the butler, announced the arrival of each individual guest and member of the wedding party as he or “she” entered the scene. From that point on, exaggerated costuming and impomptu antics had free reign and both repeatedly “brought down the house” as unspecting persons in the audience found themselves involved in the farce as recipients of everything from heavilylipsticked kisses to a live chicken. The proceedings were freqently interrupted by a confrontation between the very proper butler and an unwelcome peddler, played by Tim Boucher, who cir­ culated through the audience in an attempt to “sell” a strange collection of goods from a wheeled wire cart. After all of the guests had made their separate entries and were seated for the ceremony, the wedding party arrived one by one. Dave Mace, cast as the minister, kept the wedding going at a lively pace. Dale Jones, as the reluctant groom, Mr. O.U. Poorfish, was overwhelmed by his giantsize bride, Miss Isabella Snodgrass, played by George Williams. Identity of the actor cast in the role of the bride was kept a secret through pre-show production and was not even revealed on the show’s printed program. The final upstaging of the nuptials came from guntoting “Miss Ben Had,” played by Larry Filter. At the conclusion of the performance, Mrs. Caskley and Chamber President Judy Quantrell received accolades and bouquets from cast and organizers for their Continued on next page Specially Priced for a Limited Time.

Disguised as a clergyman is Moonface Martin, public enemy number 13, and his gun moll Bonnie. Bishop Dobson is mistaken for the disguised public enemy. Moonface gives Billy the ticket and passport of Snake Eyes Johnson, public enemy number 1, who has missed the boat. The two of them spend the cruise changing disguises to keep from being recognized.. Reno tries to vamp Sir Evelyn so Billy can win Hope from him. This plan fails and Billy is recognized as the infamous gangster Snake Eyes Johnson.

Can Billy stop the wedding in time, dr will Hope be lost to him forever? Is Reno the type of lady for Sir Evelyn?

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 112 - No. 42 - Tuesday, April 24, 1984 Vermontville's 44th Annual Syrup Festival this weekend The population in the tiny village of Vermontville will swell this weekend when thousands of people flock into town for the 44th annual Maple Syrup Festival this Friday through Sunday. Vermontville is located east of Hastings, in Eaton County off M-66. “People come to the festival for many different reasons,’’ says Stan Trumble, president of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Corporation. "Some come because it’s the first big spring party of the year.” A big drawing card, of course, is the opportunity to purchase pure maple syrup and other maple products that are made by area folks. Area syrup producers will have booths all over town to market their products. Adults and children can also learn how maple syrup is produced by observing demonstrations of the process all day Saturday and Sunday at the town’s Maple Manor. Others come for the delicious pancake meals that are served Saturday and Sunday at two locations. The meals feature sausage and pancakes with all the- pure maple syrup you want to add. “There are out-of-town people who come for the (Saturday) parade,” Trumble continues. “It will be an exceptionally big one this year, in excess of 60units.” Many bands will be featured in the parade line­ up which steps off at 2 p.m. The festival’s arts and crafts show is an event in itself and many people come to the festival just to view the handmade items on display and to watch the arts and crafts demonstrations. For the 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday show, every nook and cranny of the Maplewood Elementary School will be filled with exhibitors. Some of the crafts people will be out­ doors too. Sunday is a unique day of fun, Trumble says. A variety of contests are incorporated into the festival on that day and persons are welcome to participate or just have fun watching the action. There will be a woodchopping contest, a pancake derby and more. “Some come for the free entertainment,” he says. The festival will feature an outdoor concert by the 1st Marine Band of Howell and Dutch dancers from Holland, Mi. In addition, there will be many other bands and talents featured on the downtown stage. Others come to the festival because they enjoy going out for a drive-in the country and discovering the New England-style charm of the village. Kids like to come to the festival for the carnival rides, the barnyard zoo and other attractions. Many enjoy attending the festival just to partake in the delicious dinners that are served at the Vermontville churches. Roast beef and barbeque chicken dinners have become a regular part of the menus that are of­ fered. For camping buffs, the festival attracts many campers who plan to attend as their first spring outing. The tiny town of Vermontville will host spring's first outdoor “party" when the 44th annual Maple Syrup Festival is held this weekend. This aerial view was taken at last year's celebration. Besides the individual reasons noted for attending the festival, Trumble notes that there are many who attend because they want to take-in everything they can. He invites the public to spend a few hours, a day, or the entire weekend in Ver­ montville. Here’s the festival timetable: The weekend’s festivities will get underway with a 6:30 p.m. talent show Friday on downtown the stage. Amusement rides will also Festival time!

Nashville, Tuesday, April 24, 1984 — Page 4 Early photographers preserve local history (Author’s note: The following is a reprint of an article that was originally published in this column on April 21, 1981.) Professional photographers deserve much of the credit for capturing Nashville’s early history for posterity. In fact, the work of one such early shutterbug — Emmanuel J. Feighner — predates publication of the printed word in the village. When the Nashville Business Register, considered to be Nashville’s first newspaper, made its debut in February 1870, E. J. Feighner’s photographic and ambrotype studio was ad­ vertised in the sheet as an established business. Certainly no one was better qualified than E. J. Feighner to snap Nashville’s early scenes. His family, the Henry Feighners, arrived here in 1854 when there was only one log house and a crude saw mill operation on the north banks of the Thornapple near the presentday Putnam Park. As a lad, young Emmanuel absorbed the sights and sounds of the untamed area as white settlers put down roots in peaceful co­ existence with their Indian neighbors. The densely wooded area south of the river, dubbed “Forest City’’, soon gave way to ax and saw and, in time, became the business district of Nash­ ville. Twenty years after young Emmanuel’s family settled here he was firmly established in his own photographic business, as noted in a May 1874 issue of The Nashville News (founded eight months earlier): “E. J. Feighner has commenced business again with his office located over Smith & Putnam’s hardware, where he is prepared to take all kinds of pictures.” Less than a year later, Emmanuel secured a new location, according to a News report of early February 1875: “E. J. Feighner has moved into his new photographic gallery in the new brick block, and is Emmanuel J. Feighner, Nashville's first commercial photographer, and Mrs. C. M. Early were two of the 171 subjects who comprised the early 20th century com­ posite picture that was the brainstorm of her enter­ prising husband. Feighner was the son of a pioneer family; had witnessed the growth of the village he later captured on film as one of Nashville's earliest photographers. In later life he was in the real estate business. Charles Hershberger, a 20th century Nashville photographer, was responsible for many of the about-1910 photo postcards frequently used to illustrate the Memories of the Past series. His studio was in his home, the present Frieda Hecker-Dessa Handel residence on South Main. taking his own picture every afternoon, out of pure pride and joy in his shining new quarters.” Among other 19th century Nashville photographers were A. S. Mount, A. J. Beebe and F. P. Morrison. The VanNocker family also were noted photographers of that era. There was E. H. VanNocker and Orson and Ruby — the latter two in November 1898 also opened a gallery at Bellevue. E. H. VanNocker is remembered for the unusual staged scenes he captured on film through use of props. In two faded photos now on display in the Local History Room at Putnam Public Library, VanNocker’s talent is typified. In one picture, six young women enact a nur­ sing scenario complete with fainting patient. Another portrays a bevy of charming turn-of-the-century maidens enjoying a tea party as they receive instructions in social graces from a prim and proper, but youthful looking, teacher. In addition to creating picture stories, VanNocker was ahead of his time in using techniques such as mirrored reflections. Another popular photographer of that period was C. J. Whitney, who had learned his trade in New York City and was labeled “an expert” by The News. In December 1898, Whitney opened a gallery over Kleinhans’ dry goods store (present-day Quality Pawn Shop). Less than a year later, The News announced that Whitney had purchased the VanNocker studio on Main Street, “one of the most lucrative businesses in town.” (It is likely that this was the gallery of Orson and Ruby, as E. H. VanNocker apparently produced photos here for some time after that November 1899 transaction.) Competition in the photography business was keen in those days, when family portraits traditionally were done by professionals before the time when cameras became common household items available to amateur shutterbugs. Photos were prized possessions in those days. After Whitney purchased the VanNocker gallery in 1899, C. M. Early of Woodland opened a studio in August 1900 in the former Whitney quarters above the Kleinhans store. Early was an enterprising and progressive photographer, and seemed to know how to capitalize on a wiri? market in the community by snapping shots of recreational and business events. “Photographer C. M. Early reports he has sold more than 100 pictures taken at the Farmers’ Picnic, but still has a few left at 25 Hanging in the Michigan and Local History Room at Putnam Public Library is one of the large composite Nashville business community photos engineered by C.M. Early, a progressive and innovative young photographer who came to Nashville from Woodland in 1900 and established a successful studio here. Early and his wife are seen side-by-side in the bottom row, in the lower right-hand corner of the composite which features 171 individual oval-shaped photos of business-con­ nected Nashville people of the early 1900's. This picture was donated to the library several years ago by Phyllis Rizor and her Husband the late Ira James Rizor, of Nasville. cents,” advised The News in September 1901. A forerunner to our presentday Labor Day celebrations, Nashville’s Farmers’ Picnic was a major seasonal event of that era and offered any number of potential buyers for Early’s prints of the festivities. Shortly thereafter, Early located elsewhere on Main Street in what The News called “the. most modern photographic studio in southern Michigan.” It was about that same time that Early came up with another profitable idea. He proposed that every man and woman in Nashville business or connected with any business in town, have an individual photograph taken. He then would prepare a large composite picture of the entire group. The result was a huge picture made up of 171 small oval photos of prominent Nashville people, and one must assume that Early sold several copies of the large print to numerous subjects as well as capitalizing on orders for individual photo prints. What the innovative cameraman from Woodland had conceived in the early part of the 20th century was a forerunner of the com­ posite senior class photos which did not become popular in Nashville until the 1920s. Another promotion of Early’s, advertised in The News in 1907, was the printing of photos on cloth pillow tops for “only $1”. No story on the history of commercial photography in Nashville would be complete without mention of Joseph C. Hurd, an inventive and colorful local merchant who came here in 1899 from South Haven to open a bicycle rental hnd repair shop. Hurd is credited with introducing many “firsts’Lto Nashville, including the first commercial radio, the first ice cream cone, and the first auto. In 1902, Hurd was spinning around town in a three­ wheeled gasoline powered Thomas Tri-Auto. About eight years later, he opened a Ford Sales and Service agency on South Main, one of the first in this area. It was in May 1901 that Hurd bought out the photographic business of G. J. Whitney, who perhaps ws being overshadowed by the' enterprising Mr. Early. At any rate, Hurd purchased Whitney’s gallery, then located in a small frame building oh the present-day site of Nashville Auto and Farm Supply on the southeast corner of the Main and Maple streets in­ tersection. Hurd soon constructed a 20x60 bicycle shop behind the studio. (In 1908-09, he moved the frame structures and built the commodious masonry Hurd Block which still occupies the site.) Joe Hurd retained Whitney to work for him in his newlyacquired gallery and, a bit later, also employed Ruby VanNocker. Hurd was a man on the go, with many varied business interests, and it is uncertain how much photo work he actually did himself. His ads in The News boasted of the ability of his studio to duplicate any picture taken there in the last 20 years. “His stock of negatives, carefully filed, numbers more than 12,500,” advised The News in September 1903. Obviously these films predated Hurd’s tenure and perhaps that of Whitney and his predecessor VanNocker. At Christmastime 1903, Hurd’s studio was labeled by The News as “one of the busiest places in town.” “Joe says he still can take pictures and have them finished in time for Christmas gifts,” noted The News about a week before the holiday. The following Yule, a press of business at the Early gallery was noted by The News: “Early’s studio has already taken more than 50 sittings for Christmas photographs and is expecting a continued rush of business the next few weeks. Miss Elda Buel is helping out during the holiday upsurge in business.” A few months later, Joe Hurd sold his photo gallery to concentrate on bicycles and autos. “C. M. Early has pur­ chased J. C. Hurd’s photograph gallery, stock, tools and goodwill, and has removed same to his own gallery,” announced The News in June 1905. “This is a good move, as it has been demonstrated that two studios here are one too many.” MAPLEVALLEY Guys and Gals Going to the Prom?

April 24,1984 — Page 6 Maple Valley Lions 'Spring Sports' Maple Valley Lions diamond squad to make title run Larry Lenz thinks a Southern Michigan Athletic Association baseball title is within reach of his team. The Maple Valley coach believes the Lions (15-6 overall, 8-4 league) possess superb pitching and enough hitting and competent defense to wrestle the title away from rival Pennfield. Lenz calls his pitching staff, “as good a one as I’ve ever had. There are four kids I feel comfortable with,” Heading that staff is Lenz’s son Greg, an allSMAA performer as a junior a year ago. Lenz hit a cool .303 with 23 rbis last season. Joining him on the staff is another all-leaguer in senior Jeff Starring (.281 average last year). Other returnees are threeyear letterman Marty Martin (.294), third baseman-pitcher Luke Potter (.300), leftfielder Ryan Trowbridge (.291), thirdbaseman-DH John Myers, and rightfielders Eric Brown and Scott Whitmore. The team’s outfield will be gifted with a certain amount of experience. Lenz said he is looking for Brown and Whitmore to platoon in right while Trowbridge and Martin will be in left and center. The infield, however, is not as fortunate in the ex­ perience department Potter will be a fixture at third, but inexperience is the word at second and short. Lenz hopes Jeff Hamilton will make the smooth transition from the basketball court and short­ stop position and if that happens, the infield will be solid. Greg Lenz and Starring will share the catching position depending on who is on the mound that day. Neither has seen any ex­ perience at catcher but both are fine athletes and should be able to handle the position, says the elder Lenz. The team admittedly has some holes to plug and Lenz is hoping he has the people to fill them with. “I think we have enough experience to challenge for the league title,” says Lenz, who lists Pennfield as the leading contender. The Panthers captured the SMAA title a year ago, along the way nipping the Lions twice, 5-3 and 5-4. After Pennfield, Lenz notes Bronson, with its ex­ perienced pitching staff, and St. Philip, with its hitters, as The Maple Valley baseball team: (front row from left) Sarah Curtiss, Mark Valdick, Ken Trumble, Jeff Garber, Jeff Hamilton, Jeff Starring (second row) Scot Lenz Ron Hull, Dean Stewart, John Myers, Marty Martin, Larry Lenz (third row) Luke Potter, Scott Whitmore, Scott Joostberns, Eric Brown, Brock DeGroot (back row) Craig Ostergren, Greg Lenz, Chug Maurer, Ryan Trowbridge, Kurt Hartenburg. darkhorses. “Pennfield has to be a touch above anyone else, but after that anybody has a Lakewood 4-2. The Caledonia loss was highlighted by a two-run homer by Lenz, his third in two years against the chance,” says Lenz. The Lions have already played a pair of games losing to Caledonia 7-6, while edging Scots. Lenz was the winning pitcher in relief against Lakewood striking out six and allowing no walks. M.V. boys track team hopes rests on 12 lettermen The hopes of the Maple Valley boys track team rest on the talents of 12 returning lettermen. New coach Chuck Reid says in order for the Lions to improve on last year’s respectable 6-4 mark the lettermen are going to have to turn in excellent seasons. Reid says these boys are fine athletes, some of which helped Maple Valley teams might not be out of reach,” to golf, football, and baseball says Reid. teams to SMAA cham­ To win a SMAA title Maple pionships.

The Lions were aided by a number of walks and wild pitches to gain the lead in the first inning 6-4 and never trailed in the contest. Barb Gurd was the winning pit­ cher. She was helped by a good defense and some timely hitting in the third, fourth and fifth innings. Previous to this, the Lions defeated Caledonia, 23-8. Maple Valley pounded out 23 hits to Caledonia’s 8. Barb Gurd picked p up p the victory, y, allowing only two runs until the fifth inning. Once again, a good defensive effort kept the Lions out of any danger. 880). The team opened its season with losses to Pot­ terville 104-33, Charlotte 92­ 40 and Lakewood 78-59. Valley softball team runs record to 2-2 In the first of two games against Lakewood on April 9, the Lions were able to manage 11 hits but seemed unable to Come up with the big hit at the right time. They left 10 runners stranded and fell to Lakewood 18-6. Barb Gurd allowed 19 hits and took the loss for the Lions. In the second game, the Lions lost to Lakewood in five innings, 12-2. Melissa Brenton took the loss, giving up 18 hits to the victorious Vikings. “This year’s team seems to have a nice blend of youth and experience and should improve on last year’s overall record. Consistency, both in the field and at the plate, will be the key to their success;” says Lion coach Chris Ricketts. Baseball-softball V. teams rained out Maple Valley’s varsity softball and baseball teams were unable to play-contests scheduled for last Monday and Thursday due to rain.

Lions girls track roster With a roster that includes three experienced seniors, nine freshmen and eight sophomores experience is nothing but a foreign 10letter word to Gary Hamilton. The Maple Valley girls track coach has only six lettermen back from a team that compiled a 3-8 record a year ago. Hamilton knows the situation and sees only one cure. “There is talent here,” he says. “It’s just a case of how hard the girls will work to get what they want.” Considering the inex­ perience, Hamilton says a .500 season would be ac­ ceptable. “We’re hoping for a .500 year,” he says. “It depends on how they come along, they’ll have to improve.” Returning lettermen in­ clude Stefanie Walliczlk (shot, discus), Cass Davidson (shot, discus), Debbie ee Staskus sus (long og jump, up, relays), Lisa Franks (440, relays), Jill Peake (100, relays) and Heather Christie (220, relays). Hamilton says the team will be particularly strong in the sprints with Peake, Franks, and Carmen Hamilton and in the relays. Potential weak spots in­ clude the hurdles and distances. Hamilton says Olivet and Bronson traditionally have strong girls track programs and will again this year. Maple Valley will have to battle it out with Springfield and St. Philip. The team is off to a slow start, with losses against Charlotte, 122-5, and Pot­ terville, 91-31, under its belt. Maple Valley did beat Lakewood 67-59.

M.V. Lions softball hastens rebuilding After a 5-16 record a year ago, Maple Valley girls’ softball coach Chris Ricketts knew his team would be undergoing a rebuilding job this spring. No problem, says Ricketts. We’re way ahead of schedule,” says Ricketts, whose team has split four contests so far. After losing both ends of a season­ opening doubleheader with Lakewood, Maple Valley crushed Caledonia 23-8 and Pennfield 19-9. Ricketts has only five lettermen back from last year. Heading the list is senior catcher Jamie Car­ penter. Carpenter was named to the all-SMAA team last year and is currently slapping the ball around at an .800 clip this year. Other returning letterwinners include seniors Tammy Corkins at third, Barb Gurd at pitcher, Duska Morawski as a utility player andjunior Jackie Gardner at first and in the outfield. Ricketts says his team will have decent speed on the bases, will play adequate defense, and will be aggressive at the plate. The problem? Con­ sistency. “If we can keep some consistency going, we’ll win more games than we did last year,” says Ricketts, now in his second year as varsity coach. Scoring runs, he says, won’t be any trouble. “With the weather being what it.has been so far, it’s hard to tell,” he says. “We seem to be more aggressive at the plate and I know we’re more aggressive on the bases.” One thing that may help the team overcome its inexperience is confidence. Ricketts says his players are becoming more accustomed to his softball program. “It looks like they’re more confident with the system,” he says.

Tuesday. April24. 1984__Page 11- Vermontville by Ava Kroger news Na. The weatherman certainly gave us anything but a springlike Easter Sunday. Cold, strong winds and rain all day, but we didn't get the power shortages as some areas west of here ex­ perienced. Anyway, large church attendances and many family get-togethers made the day enjoyable for many. A very unique and en­ joyable feature was held toward the close of the morning service at the Methodist Church. Enough helium filled balloons of all colors were given to everyone and at a signal, all were released, signaling outdoors north of the church the theme of Easter, “He is Risen”. A note and address was attached to each one so it will be interesting if we get any answers. Mrs. Greta Firster and her Tri County Tour group left Monday for a trip to California, returning on May 12. Mrs. Florence Cole of Stanton spent Sunday night with Mrs. Firster, and Mrs. Myrtle Woodruff of Lansing was a Sunday p.m. visitor of Aunt Mina Barnes. Mrs. Phyllis Kilpatrick entertained the following for Easter dinner: Mrs. Florence Kilpatrick, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Kilpatrick and baby, also Kevin from Lansing.

Seen on rehearsal night for the recent ''Womanless Wedding" production are seven Nashville village officials who participated in the hilarious event. In the front, from left, are Village President John Hughes and Trustee Forrest Babcock. Standing from left are Robert Harvey, a trustee who played the role of Mrs. Gottrocks; Police Sgt. Gene Koetje, dressed as Mrs. Ville, the First Lady: Trustee Gerald Kent disguised as Dyllis Filler;" George Frith, a village trustee who doubled as ring-bearer at the "wedding;" and Trustee Richard Chaffee, who was cast as the wife of a prominent Nashville business tycoon. Because so many of the Nashville village officials were involved in the fund-raising production, the regular council meeting was shifted from Thursday to Monday evening. A lively minister, com­ plete with tambourine was Dave Mace. For Saturday's show he added a fire chief's helmet complete with re­ volving light to "flash up" the act. The brides twin sisters, played by Don Sears and Denny Smith, frolicked down the aisle in identical dresses.

Every mile you complete means more money for scientists to work on a cure or controLfor this * inherited and fatal disease. Fortunately Vermontville has a lot of energetic and willing “athletes”. During the next several weeks the volunteers will ask friends, relatives and neighbors to pledge money for their ef­ forts .for cystic fibrosis. Please give what you can. Although some of us are not athletically inclined, you can still help by giving generously to support participants in the Bike-AThon. Our goal is $500. Proceeds will help fund clinics which specialize in diagnosis and treatment as well as basic biomedical research. Until a cure is found, top-quality care is essential to help provide a better quality of life for kids bom with cystic fibrosis. These kids are doing the best they can - let’s do the best we can! See you at the upcoming Bike-A-Thon.

To the Editor: The annual Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival is a perfect example of com­ munity pride in action. Enthusiasm is as great, or even greater, than it was when the first festival was staged. This is apparent to the thousands of people that come back year after year to enjoy this very special weekend. The continuing success would never be possible if it were not for the tireless efforts of so many dedicated people working together for a common purpose. Pride in one’s community points to the facts of historical heritage ancf values. It indicates the privilege of living in a rural setting that has retained the basic values of the past. While it is true that we do not live in the past, but rather in the present, our future is the greater because of the legacy of pioneer days. The work ethic, personal in­ tegrity, honesty and faith in God were the foundations of our heritage and the hope for our future. All of these virtues will be evident in Vermontville this weekend as many “come home” for the festival. Thousands more will be visitors who love to take in this annual celebration. The eyes of central Michigan will be upon Vermontville. America is great because of its people, its ordinary citizens who love and respect the values of the past. Certainly those hardy pioneers who settled here from the State of Vermont so many years ago could never have envisioned the throngs of people who will make their way into the “Sweetest Little Town in the World” for the festival. Will see you all there! Sincerely, Edgar Fleetham County Commissioner Phone 945-9554 for Reminder ACTION-ADS REWARD!

The thank-you letter was for a gift Kurt sent to the White House. Kurt created a pastel portrait of President Reagan while in Art II class last fall. Upon completion of the drawing, his art teacher, Miss Martin, suggested he send the portrait to Mrs. Reagan. The portrait was framed and shipped with a letter Kurt wrote to the First Lady. This week Kurt received a book entitled “The White House” and the following letter from Mrs. Reagan: Dear Kurt: Thank you for sending me the portrait you did of my husband. It’s always a delight to receive projects created by my young friends. I’m pleased that you are making use of your special talents. Continue working hard and you’ll always be proud of yourself and your accomplishments. My husband and I send our best wishes now and for the future. Sincerely, Nancy Reagan Kurt Hartenburg, a junior at Maple Valley High School, displays a personally signed letter from Nancy Reagan which he received in appreciation of a pastel drawing of the president which his art teacher, Marianne Martin, sent to the White House about 3 months ago. Kurt drew the picture in Art II from a 1971 photo on the cover of TIME magazine. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Nashville spring clean-up Monday by Susan Hinckley Monday, May 7 has been set as Nashville’s, annual Spring Clean-up Day, and Strict rules of procedure will be enforced again this year, say village officials. A their meeting Thursday, the Nashville council decided that residents must have their trash at curbside by 8 a.m. Monday to be in­ cluded in the pick-up by the village Dept, of Public Works. Following last year’s rule of “one time only” collection, village officials stressed that due to the high cost of the operation, there will be no second chance for residents who miss the 8 a.m. deadline. Nashville annually spends some $3,000 for the Spring Clean-up project, and in past years when repeated trips were made to the same households or neighborhood, costs ran nearly $4,000. In addition to the manpower and equipment needed to make the trash pick-up, the village foots the cost of dumpsters hired to haul away the collection. Officials stressed Thur­ sday that recyclable materials such as metal, glass and paper should be separated at curbside. Householders also are urged to place brush and limbs separately. All items must be small enough to be easily handled by one man. No household garbage will be accepted in the Spring Clean­ up. For village residents who have large items to dispose of, or who wish to haul away their own trash, there will be a “Free Day” on Saturday, May 5, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the local transfer and recycling center on East Casgrove Street. That day, there will be no admission charge levied against residents, but, again, recyclables should be separated for deposit there. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Accepted a bid of $3,680 from Michael Lesick of Hastings for a used police cruiser. Lesick’s was the highest of three sealed bids received on the 1982 Ford LTD. — Set Monday, May 21, as the day a delegatiorrfrom the village of Elsie will be in Nashville for Mayor’s Ex­ change Day, and Wed­ nesday, May 23, as the date local officials will reciprocate with a visit to Elsie.

Word has been received here of the death of former local resident Ora (“Bud”) Hinckley of Fort Myers Beach, Florida. She passed away last Wednesday, April 25, after a long illness. She was born near Lacey, the daughter of Harry and Lucy (Ogden) Hinckley, and moved to Nashville with her family while still a child. She graduated in 1927 from Nashville High School and, later, from what is now Western Michigan University. Miss Hinckley was employed 40 years as director of the Bureau of Social Aid in Oakland County before her retirement. She is survived by one sister, Doris Randall, of Nashville and Florida, and two nieces.

Nashville, Tuesday, May 1, 1984 — Page 4 Nashville inventors create interesting products (Author’s note: Portions of the following article first appeared as a Memories of the Past published Dec. 8, 1981.) “Necessity is the mother of invention,” so the saying goes. Whether or not that ancient Latin proverb holds true in describing works of early Nashville inventors is not, however, conclusively proved. But it appears that some local inventions were designed to fill a definite need, at least as envisioned by the creator. One of Nashville’s pioneer general merchants had his own concept of necessity, as recorded by The Nashville News in early December 1878: “L. L. Loomis has installed in his store a revolutionary bit of equip­ ment. It is a revolving cabinet which permits a customer to remain seated on a stool at the counter and view a great variety of merchandise displayed in a large revolving cabinet.” A device for making glue joints accurately and expeditiously in a cabinet shop was invented in 1887 by Issac Newton Kellogg of Nashville. An inscription on the patented machine (visible at top and right) reads: Columbian, I.N. Kellogg, Nashville, Mich." Kellogg's planing mill was located just north of the Thornapple River bridge, on the east side of Main Street. Loomis, noted The News, had applied for a patent on the rig and “believes he has something that will even­ tually be common in many stores.” Another local inventor of that era was William E. Shields, who in 1902 began construction of the home on South State Street now known as the Azbr Leedy place. Four years earlier, Shields had bought the former Powles Woolen Mill, adjacent to the future site of his home, and converted it into one of the best wood­ working plants operating in this area at that time. (The mill building is still standing just east of the Leedy home and is commonly remem­ bered as the first location of the Farmers’ Co-operative Creamery.) Some time before his 1898 conversion of the mill, Shields was making local headlines for an innovative windmill design. A News account of early May 1881 told of the invention: “For the past year, W. E. Shields has been working on a windmill constructed on new scientific principles, by which it is claimed greater power can be obtained, according to the size of the wheel made; besides it can be changed in five minutes from a pump to a power mill for gearing. “The one he has on exhibition at his residence on Sherman Street is already sold to Mr. Lake of Ver­ montville. Mr. Shields has the papers filed to obtain a patent.” Some Nashville inventions were developed in con­ nection with the creator’s trade, and truly were mothered by necessity. A prime example is the glue jointing machine devised by iIs satch Nelwtton 1K9ethllogg, twho in the late 19th century owned and operated Kellogg’s Planing Mill just north of the Thornapple River bridge. o ™ r ®° y 190°|S P.hoto by a Professional photographer at Muir in Ionia County a apparently was designed to show the versatility of a hanging lantern - perhaps item'nVnnntl°H°f mO" SCenes' Findin9 a ready market for a newfangled item - no matter how marvelous - was a difficult step for many amateur inventors Nashville native Elmer Cross, standing second from right, is credited with inventing the first music-holding piano bench. A foreman at the old Lentz Table Factory, he also built three homes in Nashville. In this about-1912 photo he is seen at a gathering of his wife's family. Standing from left are Leah Walrath, John, Ed, Mabel, Ida and Frank Purchis; Elmer and his wife, Fren (Purchis) Cross. Seated from left are Ida Bergman, Shorty Purchis, Charlotte and LaNola Cross, Pauline Squiers,-unidentified boy, Mildred and Max Purchis. The Kellogg mill, headquartered in a large brick building on the east side of the street, specialized in all sorts of planing, resawing, matching, and all branches of wood turning, plus manufacture of custommade scrolls, brackets, windows and doors used in the construction of many area homes. “I. N. Kellogg is working on a machine which is in­ tended to fill a long felt need in the cabinet shop,” reported The News in February 1887. “It is a machine for making glue joints accurately and ex­ peditiously. Mr. Kellogg believes he has a good thing and will patent it.” Alfred C. Buxton, an early Nashville machinist and gunsmith, might well have been considered an inventor in conjunction with his manufacture of custom machines at his Engine an Iron Works located in the 1880 Buxton Block on Main Street at Washington (now the home of Grandma’s Greenery). In his half-century career that began with the hand­ crafting of firearms, Buxton specialized in turning out vertical balance engines, wood lathes, emery grinding machines, steamboat engines and a multitude of other mechanical marvels. His wide trade made him one of Nashville’s most prosperous businessmen before his death in 1924. Finding a ready market for a patented invention—no matter how marvelous ?was a crucial step for some developers. The News noted in March 1906: “Rueben C. Smith has begun manufacture of a patented bench for husking and tying corn fodder, which promises to go over big, provided he can sell them.” Farming offered many opportunities for ingenuity. “Farmer Beigh, from south of town, has invented a wagon hub wrench and applied for a patent on same,” reported The News in March 1880. And this item, from October 1885: “W. T. Barker and David Lobdell of this village are procuring a patent on a wheat meter, which gives prima facie evidence of being a good thing. It is a very ingenious arrangement which may be attached to either side of a threshing machine and which registers with accuracy the number of bushels of wheat threshed. It is arranged in such a manner as to automatically turn the In the heyday of these two great geniuses, Henry Ford (left) and Thomas A. Edison, Nashville also was turning out its share of inventive minds. It was an age when consumers needed virtually everything - from, the low-cost, mass-produced "Model T" autos that Ford engineered to the electric light and phonograph developed by Edison, who patented 1,093 inventions in his lifetime. He died in 1931; Ford in 1947. stream of grain from one bag to another as the bag con­ tains the requisite number of pounds.” One Nashvlle inventor who may be remembered by many present-day villagers is the late Elmer Cross, who was born in Nashville in 1874. He died in Sept. 1955 in Kalamazoo, where he resided the last 25 years of his life. While living in Nash­ ville, Cross had been a foreman in the finishing department of the Lentz Table Company and had built three homes in Nash­ ville. In his obituary, The News noted that Cross “invented the first music­ holding piano bench, and also held a patent on a table lock.” In addition to all the practical and progressive inventions that came out of early Nashville, there were bound to be some that scarcely went beyond the daydream category. Some bordered qn the ridiculous. News editor Orno Strongs took pains to describe one such far-fetched contrivance in a December 1887 report: “An invention was explained to us this week by a sub­ scriber which he thinks will put him in the orchestra with Jay Gould and the rest of the Anarchist targets. “It is nothing more than a vehicle with axles bent to allow a horse to travel directly under, sheltered from the sun and rain. “The driver will sit in front and the passengers will sit sideways on seats that are lengthwise over the horse’s back. There will be a steering apparatus and an arrangt nent with wide bands unde the horsey so that going downhill the animal can be lifted bodily off his feet and given a rest while the whole outfit coasts. “The lifting arrangements will also be handy in case the horse tries to run away, as a turn of the crank raises him from the ground and holds him suspended in mid-air.” Needless to say, this seems to be the first and last word Strong- pt&lished on that subject.

Vermontville’s veteran syrup maker Paul Wetzel was busy at Maple Manor where the village boils maple sap into syrup. He explained the syrup-making process to interested visitors. He said the village produced 150-gallons of syrup this year from sap gathered right in the village. Profits from village produced syrup are used for community programs. Counting sap boiled for other producers, Wetzel said Maple Manor turned out a total of 330-gallons of syrup this season. “That’s up from last year. It’s a good quality syrup this year, but I never saw a year like this one. During the first part of March, I thought we’d be able to start boiling because the days were around 40-degrees and it was 25-degrees at night,” said Wetzel who has been making syrup since 1961. But the sap run was. stubborn at first, he con­ tinued, “It wasn’t until March 15 that we started boiling. We quit April 2. When the trees start to bud, the sap gets bitter and we don’t want that.” The festival activities, which celebrate the end of the syrup harvest, began with a Friday night talent show which was won by �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 1, 1984 — Page 9 Two-year-old Casaundra Hammond found her own way to relax after being in the fifth place winning children's parade entry.

It was a huge success and the entire community deserves praise for the effort shown by so many area citizens and organizations. Now plans will be underway for the 45th festival which takes months of preparation. A very tragic accident involving the death of former Vermontville man Larry Townsend, VHS Class of ’52, of Brethren, Mich., occurred early last Tuesday. He had driven truck for over 10 years for the Chef Pierre Pie Company of Traverse City and was in southern Illinois headed for Mississippi when for some unknown reason he lost control and rolled down a 30’ embankment. Services were held Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Lakeview Church of the Brethren with burial at Brethren Cemetery. Sur­ vivors include his wife, the former Connie Thrun, children Mike, Sandy, Pam and David, two grand­ children, parents Paul and Opal Townsend, a sister Janet Stroup, and several nieces and nephews. The last meeting of the Vermontville Woman’s Club will be in the form of a carry­ in supper at 7 p.m. at the home of the president, Mary Fisher. Final reports are to be ready by this time. What could have been a very tragic accident oc­ curred a week ago Friday when a gravel truck and backhoe lost its brakes on Round Lake Road out by the Charles Viele residence and coming faster and faster crossed East Main Street and down the driveway between Dorothy Mills and Elon Baker’s garages, finally stopping in the field. It was a miracle there weren’t any cars on East Main or children in its path. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Snider, Jr. from Little Rock, Arkansas are here to be near their mother, Kate Snider, who underwent surgery at Pennock Hospital on Friday a.m. Mrs. Elizabeth Stowe and Naomi Lutz of Ionia spent Sunday p.m. and evening with Mrs. Hermina Southern.

The council, based in Lansing but serving 6,000 Girl Scouts in Ingham, Clinton and Eaton counties, hopes to raise $450,000 between now and June for the renovation of camps Wacousta and Deer Trails. According to Alfreda Sch­ midt, Lansing City Council member, former Girl Scout leader and campaign chairperson, most of the funds ($325,000) will go to Camp Wacousta, located 10 miles northwest of Lansing. “Camp Wacousta’s facilities badly need upgrading in the form of insulation and remodeling of kitchen and activity areas,” she said. “One structure in particular was built in the 1930s and has had very little improvement since then.” The 20-acre camp will be better equipped to ac­ commodate the increasing numbers of campers each year, Schmidt said, with additional improvements such as troop shelters and site development. The remainder of the funding will be used for addition docking and for “winterizing” a troop house at Camp Deer Trails, a 201acre site on Long Lake near Harrison in northern Michigan. Schmidt noted that plans for such a project have been under way since 1977. “The goals have always been to maximize all-season use and accommodate a great variety of programs and users while respecting and protecting the environment,” she pointed out. Four major donor groups will be contacted by cam­ paign volunteers during the next several months. The Girl Scout family division, composed of people within the council and campaign staff, has already exceeded its fundraising goal by more than 30 percent. Other targeted donor groups include the pattern gifts division, composed of selected individuals and larger businesses and foundations; the special gifts division, made up of com­ munity executives and professionals, and the general gifts division, en­ compassing past members and friends of Girl Scouting. “One not surprising revelation of a recent evaluation of Girl Scout programs was that girls consider camping among their most valued ex­ periences in Girl Scouting,” said Marylee Davis, assistant vice-president for administration and public affairs at Michigan State University and president of the Michigan Capitol Girl Scout Council. “We hope through this campaign to maintain our leadership role in outdoor learning, camping and wildlife education.” Further details on the project are available from the Girl Scouts Capital Development Campaign Office, 1604 Michigan National Tower, Lansing, MI 48933.

It fell on the west side of Middle Street close to the Sherman Street intersection. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) Winds gusting to over 80 m.p.h. in Grand Rapids were strong enough to literally uproot trees in Nashville with tomadic strength. The upturned base of this immense maple is seen after cleanup commenced Tuesday. The tree downed utility lines and blocked Phillips Street after it crashed near the Washington Street intersection. Split in half by the storm last week Monday was this tree just south of Sherman Street near the Lentz Street intersection, adjacent to the abandoned railroad tracks in Nashville. Fortunately there were no nearby power lines. by Susan Hinckley Gale force winds that swept through Michigan last week Monday, toppling trees and power lines in their wake, did not leave the Maple Valley area untouched. Giant maples were uprotted in at least two in­ stances along Nashville’s residential streets, one tearing a gaping hole in the roof of the two-story Austin Schantz home at 212 N. State Street as it fell Monday morning. In the afternoon a large tree was uprooted in the 200 block of Phillips Street, just south of the inStreet Washington tersection. Countless massive old trees in the village were shattered or damaged by the spring storm, with broken limbs often bringing down power lines in the process. Nashville firefighters, Dept, of Public-Works employees, and utility company crewmen were kept on the run to lessen the danger from fallen lines and debris. Power outages were reported throughout the west Michigan region. Wind gusts Monday were clocked at over 80 m.p.h. in Grand Rapids and over 90 in Kalamazoo. �The Maple Valley News.

The Maple Valley com­ munity was shocked and saddened this past weekend to learn of the death Friday evening of local resident Bob Kalnbach in the crash of a private plane in Nevada. A 1955 graduate of Nashville High School, Bob has for several years been involved in many human services projects to benefit his fellow man and in that line or work had enjoyed extensive and adventuresome travel. In the 1970s he and his family served with the U.S. Peace Corps in Africa, and just recently Bob had been in the strife-torn Central American country of Honduras with the International Voluntary Serivce to teach improved farming methods to rural natives. He is survived by his wife, four children, and his mother. Condolences are extended to the family in their loss.

Dean was a carpenter by trade, an apiarist by avocation, and a poet at heart. Most Nashville folks remember the late local native as a keeper of bees, but fewer are aware of the inspirational poetry he composed and published as a collection, “Rhymes of a Beekeeper”, in 1956, two years before his death. The story of Dean’s passing was chronicled by The Nashville News in a front page obituary on April 17, 1958: “Nashville’s beloved beekeeper, William O. Dean, died at his home here Saturday morning. Mr* Dean, who has kept bees for something like fifty years, was known in and about Nashville as the beekeeper... for years he had a glass enclosed colony of bees which he displayed often at local fairs and at the schools. At one time had had several hundred hives near the river but in the past few years he has not been well and kept only a few colonies.” Dean lived all of his married life at 417 Middle Street, adjacent to Reed Street, in the family home of his first wife Maybell Rowley, whom he married in 1903. She died in 1948 and the following year he married the former Bessie Lee, widow of retired newspaperman and Detroit News writer George C. Taft. The bees that Dean kept near the Thornapple River were on the property along Kellogg Street where his son, William R., now lives. “Will Dean has long been a colorful and familiar figure in Nashville,” continued The News account of his passing. “When he was well, he walked downtown almost everyday with a basket of honey on his arm. Some of the honey he sold, but most of it was given away.” His son William recalls that Dean carried a basket, as was a common practice for shoppers in those days, but said his father “never sold honey bn the street,” though he did supply it to several stores in town. William 0. Dean was born in 1879 on the family farm near the intersection of Assyria and Lawrence roads in Maple Grove Township (the large brick home the Deans built there still stands) and as a child at­ tended McKelvey country school with his three brothers and sister. He completed his education at Nashville High School, graduating in 1897, and was married six years later. He and his wife, Maybell had three sons, George A., William R., and Kenneth, and a daughter Effa. Dean was employed as a carpenter, did general painting and wallpapering, and worked for a number of years for William Liebhauser at the local lumberyard (now Hometown Lumber). His son William recalls that his father also worked for a time at the old Lentz Table Company. He was associated with the International Order of Odd Fellows, and at his death had been affiliated over 50 years with Nashville’s Methodist Church. Dean’s strong religious faith is reflected in his selections published in“Rhymes of a Beekeeper”. (Copies of the booklet are in the Local and Michigan History collection at Putnam Public Library.) Son William recalls that his father did not compose poetry in his younger days. “He took up writing poems as a hobby after his retirement, to have something to do,” remembers the younger Dean. The beauty he saw in nature and his conviction of God’s love and saving grace are mirrored inf the published lines of William 0. Dean. With the permission of his son, we are presenting a few of these poems, all copyrighted in 1956 by the author. There is a God by William O. Dean All things proclaim there is a God, The bursting of a bud in spring; The happy notes the song birds sing; The humming of the busy bees; The breezes playing thru the trees; The planets in their orbs o’er head; The mellow light the moonbeams shed; The brightness of the noonday sun; The twilight when the day is done; The growing seed with sturdy root, Sending upward the tender shoot; The cattle on a thousand hills; The babbling brook, the the rocks and rills; The croaking of the meadow frog The turtles basking in the bog; The water lilies in . the ponds; The ferns with spreading, drooping fronds; The dampness of the morning dew; The fragrance of the hay mown new; The ravage of the hurricane; The gentle patter of the rain; The lightning flash from cloud to cloud; The thunder rumbling long and loud; The dandelion in the sod. All things would bow their heads and nod Proclaiming, “Yes, there is a God.” Ways of Praying by William O. Dean I may as well not pray at all Or bow to gods of stone, As offer to a living God A prayer of words alone. Unless I am at heart sincere, My prayer will not be heard; A loving God will never hear A prayer of only words. In this Dean .family photo William O. is seen standing second from right. In front are his parents George O. and Susan (McKelvey) Dean and sister Effa. From left in back are brothers Aurie, George B., William O. and Rial. The father was a Civil War veteran who came to Michigan from his native New York following the conflict and settled in Maple Grove Township. In 1920 the elder Deans moved into the village, residing the balance of their lives at 525 Reed St. Unless my prayer is from the heart, My soul’s sincere desire; Mere words just spoken by my lips Will not rise any higher. . William O. Dean's writing career did not blossom until his later life. In his younger days he worked as a carpenter and for many years kept bees in hives along the Thornapple River in Nashville. He is seen in this undated photo with his wife, the former Maybell Rowley, whom he married in 1903. The couple lived in the bride's family home at 417 Middle Street and had three sons and one daughter, Effa, who was named for William's sister. A prayer unuttered by my lips But by my heart inspired, As surely will ascend on high As sparks arise from fire. So when I pray I do not speak Just words and words alone. My prayer is from a sincere heart, Ascending to His throne. I Wonder by William O. Dean I wonder, Lord, I wonder, What good am I oh earth? I’ve torn Thy heart asunder, I have but little worth; I do the things I shouldn’t; Of self I’m prone to boast. The things I should I do not, The things that matter most. I wonder, Lord, I wonder, How long You’ll strive with me? You know I’m prone to wander, Far, far, from Calvary. Evil is ever with me When good I’d like to do. Dear Lord, again forgive me. Again my strength renew. I wonder, Lord, I wonder, If I can ever be From sin torn far asunder Like Him of Galilee. Lord, help me not to wander, Nor from thy faith depart; But daily make me stronger, And dwell within my heart. If We Knew We’d Understand by William O. Dean Could we but see more clearly The motives in another’s heart; Understand his aims and actions, We would more of love impart. Could we judge his deeds and motives See both good and bad in him, We would love him, though a sinner, But we still would hate his sin. If we knew the forces working To overthrow his chastity, We would see his motive better, Judge him with more charity. Often we would find his motive Purer than we thought we would; We would love him more and better If we only understood. If we knew how hard he’s trying, Tho his efforts be in vain Understood his disappoint­ ments. We would pity where we blame. If we knew his cares and trials, Understood what bitter pain His mistakes in life are causing, Would our judgment be the same? 0! We judge each one more harshly Than we ought, or really would If we knew what caused his actions If we really understood! If we’d look among the evil For the little deeds of good, We would love each other better And be better understood.

Hiding the ten dozen hardboiled eggs, candy-filled eggs and prize eggs around the church yard at the First Congregational Church was the easy part. The hard part was getting children willing to locate all those eggs but the kindergarten classes at Maplewood Elementary quickly agreed. Thursday, April 19 was the big day for the egg hunt. The children had decorated bags to hold their eggs in, and the classes walked down to the church. Now, the hunt was on! When every last egg had been found, Wayne Shance was holding the eggs that won the Easter basket filled with candy. Melanie Shance found an egg worth $5, Joshua Cerny found one of the $2 eggs and Marty French found both a $2 egg and a $5 egg. Some of the other prizes were a jump rope, coin purse, sunglasses, stickers, Photos supplied) stuffed animals and crocheted rabbits and many candy-filled eggs. Thanks go to the following Vermontville businesses for generously donating for the egg hunt: Johnny’s (troop sponsor), Trowbridge Babysitting clinic offered The Lakewood-Maple Valley Adult Education Program is offering a Babysitting Clinic for Maple Valley area students in the fifth grade and older.

His topics reinforced the Listen Magazine which is used in Mr. Reese’s classes and is sponsored by local merchants. Tobacco has a main chemical called nicotine. In all, tobacco contains twohundred different chemicals in each cigarette. Forty-five of these chemicals are In a comparative presentation, Mr. Whitaker showed the effects of tar from all uses of tobacco on the teeth. His emphasis was along a health approach to taking care of one’s body. He showed how tars would build up on the teeth. What hap­ pened as teh chemicals irritated the lining of the lips, tongue and roof-of the mouth. Smoker’s white­ patch, a pre-cancerous condition was pictured on the lips, teeth, tongue and roof of the mouth. To emphasize the worst possible problem caused by smoking Mr. xyhitaker showed teeth misaligned caused by pipe smokers. Cancer of the gums, tongue, poisonous and six are cancer causing. A person who smokes one and a half packs per day will produce one quart of tar per year. Marijuana’s main chemical is tetrahydrocannobinal (THC) and contains some 420 dif­ ferent chemicals. One hundred thirty-one are poisonous to our body with six being cancer causing agents. These six are the same as in cigarettes, but are more concentrated in marijuana. Also marijuana gives off twice as many tars as cigarettes. Styling for the whole family... Garage Sale, from p. 1 last year’s event.

He made clear the fact all humans will not get cancer yet your chances are greatly increased. Diet was emphasized as smoking will cause the taste buds to be matted down like wet dog hair. As a result the person must add extra spices to their food for taste. The spice most used is salt which will cause high blood pressure which will lead to heart attack and stroke. These, are our number one and leading causes of death. Cancer is the second leading cause. Salivary glands will become plugged and digestion is affected. Emphysema was discussed and pictured to emphasize the total effect of another health related disease. His second presentation included marijuana, alcohol and cancers of the stomach and colon. Marijuana has sixty-one cannaboids which are psychs-active effect which is a euphoria feeling commonly referred to as a “buzz’’A These cannaboids cause a change in our tolerance for THC, mood or character and change in attitudes. Two main areas where cannaboids con­ centrate are in the brain and reproductive cells. Effects of the brain cells cari cause hormonal changes. Raising or lowering amounts in males and females. These hormones are important in the development of an adolescent. The reproductive cells pictured did show possible damage to the chromosomes in the male and female reproductive cells. Cancers of the stomach and colon were presented. Chemical irritants, diet, average digestion time, and the fact toxins and to be fat soluble and remain in the body for long periods of time.

(EOW) released by different areas of the body. After smoking only one joint, one-half the THC can be found in the body even after five days. Thirty percent of the THC can be found after seven days. The staying power is very strong and should a person smoke another joint these chemicals begin to add up in our body. The effects of the THC remain in our body longer than other substances. These may lead to the number one cancer operated on today, which is cancer of the colon. Alcohol was the last topic covered with a film to illustrate the “sludging” effect of the blood. This film showed how the blood groups together as alcohol enters the blood stream. He ex­ plained why a person passes out after drinking to much alcohol and that for every drink taken brain cells are damaged. How much damage to the train cells depended upon how severe a drinking problem exists. Drinking and driving is the number one killer of teenagers in the U.S.A. This presentation ended with Mr. Whitaker hoping this information could help the students with their decisions concerning drugs. (This article was sub­ mitted by the school.) A weekly report from ERNEST NASH State Representative FEDERAL FUNDS TO FINANCE JOB TRAINING - The State of Michigan is receiving $11 million from the federal Job Training Partnership Act to aid in training projects for 12,400 jobless workers who require retraining to enter the job market. The state is administering 33 training programs using the federal funds. HOUSE COMMITTEE APPROVES “DOUBLE BUNKING” BILL - The House Corrections Committee has approved legislation that will allow county jails to house two inmates in one cell. However, the cells must be at least 65 square feet in area. The practice of two-to-a-cell in county jails is currently prohibited by the Michigan Department of Corrections. FIRE LOSS FACTS AND FIGURES - During 1983, Michigan fire departments reported 70,140 fires which claimed 253 lives, including two firefighters, and caused an estimated $382.6 million in property damage, according to the Michigan Department of State Police Fire Marshal. The fires involved 6,043 commercial buildings, 19,634 dwellings, 17,976 mobile properties, and 26,759 other classifications. Over 7,500 fires were of a “suspcious nature”. In addition, there were 66,993 rescues by firefighters and 24,535 false alarms. NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK MAY 6-12 National Small Business Week is being celebrated May 6-12, honoring businessmen and women throughout the state and the nation.

BIKE-TO-WORK-DAY - Next Tuesday, May 15, has been designated Michigan Bike-To-Work-Day by the Michigan Department of Transportation and all state residents are urged to ride a bicycle to their jobs on that day. The MDOT reports that if just 10 percent of the 3.8 million employed people in Michigan biked to work just once a year, over 104,000 gallons of gasoline would be saved. MiPIE - A state-sponsored computer system has been established called the Michigan Products Information Exchange (MiPIE) that will allow Michigan manufacturers to better utilize Michigan-made parts and supplies in their manufacturing process. The goal of the computer service is to aid smaller Michigan businesses in selling their products within the state. MiPIE will list all participating Michigan suppliers so that manufacturers seeking a product can quickly locate in-state suppliers by using a microcomputer and telephone modem. Manufacturers will be able to generate product inquiry letters to potential suppliers automatically through the computer system. MARGARET’S BEAUTY SALON announces...

Many from here attended the Golden wedding an­ niversary of Harold and Edith Benedict at the Sun­ field United Methodist Church on Saturday af­ ternoon. They have spent their entire life time in the Bismark area and all their eight children graduated from the former V.H.S. and later the Maplewood schools. It was a very happy and joyous occasion for the very large crowd who came from many places to help them celebrate. Edith was a radiant 50 year bride and wore a gorgeous cream and gold lace gown with orchid corsage and both so very proud of their famly and grandchildren. Many pictures were displayed of their 50 years together including trips around the world and visiting their children in other countries. An hour long program of music, poetry and reminiscences was given at 4 p.m. with Bruce Benedict of Arlington Heights as master of ceremonies and simply just a lot of fun. Most of the family at­ tended the Vermontville Methodist Church on Sunday where a marriage vows rededication service was held at 12 noon. Mrs. Helen Steward and Kenneth Van Blarcom of Florida were the original attendents and stood up with them as they ex­ changed rings. At the close Brian Benedict sang “The Lord’s Prayer” without accompaniment. I un­ derstand the family gave them a monetary gift to take a trip of their choice. The 1984 Senior Class left Sunday for their trip to Toronto and Washington, D.C.

Betz. Ext. Agri. Agent and Pat Tirrell, IPM Coordinator 1983 marked the second year of Eaton County’s Extension Field Scouting program. Fourteen different farmers enrolled over 1,400 acres of corn, soybeans and navy beans. This was a 50 percent increase from 1982 and 1984 enrollment is ex­ pected to double the 1983 program. Field scouting enables farmers to have accurate determinations of present and potential weed and in­ sect pest problems. Growth stages of insects are determined in order to do a more efficient and effective job of controlling them. This is particularly valuable with increased use of minimum­ till and no-till fields which can be more susceptible to these problems. The Field Scouting Program includes regular (every 5-10 days) inspections of field crops throughout the growing season. Surveys are made to plant populations, weed, insect and plant disease conditions. Recommendations are made on controlling any problems that might shop up. Operators receive a written report after each visit in­ cluding a map of problem areas in fields, as well as a From our readers year-end summary of the information. This service is part of the Michigan State University Integrated Pest Management program and scouts receive computerized information on pest sitings from other areas of the state to warn of possible pest outbreaks that could occur locally.

Your choice! type of success gets a lot of media attention and tends to be glamorized. However, these women who are the head of the greatest corporation in America, the stable home, do not get the same coverage and acclaim. There is a day set aside in our nation that is called Mothers Day and was originated with the sole purpose of honoring mothers. This annual ob­ servance is fine and is a part of our society as it should be. The point is, that in the view of this columnist motherhood should be regarded the year around as a career and an accomplishment second to none. Without a stable home the nation will fall. Without a mother no home can ever reach its potential or its worth. There are cases where a mother is taken away and the family func­ tions as best it can, but it is not the same. Mothers live and work, sacrifice, love their families and provide an inspiration and an example that no one can else can. Is there greater joy and satisfaction than in knowing that your children need you and that they love and honor you? As the head of the corporation that is the family, is not a vote of confidence from its shareholders, the husband and the children, a satisfaction and a reward that is second to none? Lincoln said, “All that I am or ever hope to be I owe to my angel mother”. All of us have a debt to our mothers and to their memory. There are those who are childless but who love children. They become the mothers and grandmothers of all the kids in the com­ munity. They too, come in for their share of the honors. I know that my life is by far the richer and the better for the life and the memory of my mother. Any success that I may have achieved I owe in part to her. So also I am indebted much to the grand lady who was the mother of the mother of my children. I believe that this is a time in our history when the incalcuble worth of a mother needs to be held up to the exalted position that it deserves. There is no greater career. This letter- salutes mothers everywhere.

Nash --“This Week in Lansing” Attorney General Frank Kelley recently ruled that the state is not obligated to reimburse local units of government for costs in­ curred by the 1983 redistricting plan passed by the Michigan Legislative. I agree with my colleague, State Representative Fred Dillingham (R-Fowlerville), who believes the state should be responsible for the ex­ pense of rearranging voter files and changing voter registration cards. The state should be moraly obligated to pay for the in­ convenience we’ve inflicted on our local officials. For the second time in two years, the redistricting issue has confused and further alienated the public. In January, Dillingham wrote the attorney general seeking an opinion whether the new precincts created by the redistricting plan con­ stituted a “new activity or service” beyond that required by the 1963 Michigan Constitution. Kelley’s opinion concluded that the dividing of precincts to facilitate elections neither imposes new activity or service, and does not require state reimbursement. Once again, local officials get stuck paying the tab for the petty political ploys of the majority party in the House. It’s unfair that small units throughout the state have to suffer because of legislative game-playing. I am disappointed, although not surprised by the attorney general’s decision. Blanchard Signs Franchise Legislation Into Law Legislation making it significantly easier for franchise companies to do business in Michigan has been signed into law by Governor Blanchard, and I believe the bills have the potential to create hundreds of new businesses and thousands of new jobs in the state. The two bills reforming Michigan’s overly bur­ densome Franchise Investment Law received strong bipartisan support since they were introduced five months ago. The legislation was developed by a working group of lawmakers, franchise sellers, consumer protection advocates and the Gover­ nor’s Cabinet Council on Economic Jobs and Development. House Bills 5118 and 5119, which I voted for, eliminate the time consuming and sometimes arbitrary review system by the Corporations and Securities Bureau and replaces it will a filing of a simple notice from the business stating that it will sell franchises in Michigan. The legislation provides a list of protections for fran­ chise purchasers, notice to purchasers of unenforceable contract clauses and stronger anti-fraud provisions. In addition, the legislation amends the Consumer Protection Act to protect business people and con­ sumers from the separate category of “business op­ portunities”. It will ensure that offerings which do not fit the definition of a fran­ chise, but are closely related, are subject to the full disclosure provisions and stronger consumer protections included in the act. This legislation will make it easier for franchisers to open businesses and it will provide business op­ portunities for thousands of Michigan citizens. It will also help to change the perception among franchise sellers that Michigan is a difficult state in which to do business. Now that we’ve cut the government red tape and regulations that plague business expansion, perhaps more franchises will be attracted to our state.

Nashville, Tuesday, May 8, 1984 — Page 14 Overfeeding and freshening dairy cows discussed Feeding grain to cows before the freshen may cause some problems as The cows begin their lactation. “These cows may exhibit postcalving disorders such as ketosis, milk fever, and mastitis, edema reproductive problems,” says Roger A. Betz, Ex­ tension Agricultural Agent. These problems can be part of the “fat cow syndrome,” which occurs when cows consume excessive energy during late lactation and the dry period. When milk production declines, nutrient and energy requirements decline. The late-lactation cow is more efficient metabolically at converting dietary energy into body fat then the earlylactation cow. Dairy farmers need to recognize that the fat cow syndrome is a late lactation problem, not just a dry cow problem. The dry cow feeding program should maintain the cow’s weight and allow for fetal weight gain. Forage that is low in energy is the most desirable feed. Corn silage should not make up more than 10 to 15 pounds of dry matter intake or 30 to 40 pounds of feed. -‘Immediately after calving, the nutrient requirements of the dairy cow increase tremen­ dously,” Betz says. “The sooner after calving that a Jerry Terpening, president of the Maple Valley Band Boosters, and Jeanette Joseph of Carl's Super Market, Inc., show the two shiny new World Tourist Schwinn bicycles that will be raffled by the Band Boosters as a fund-raiser. The bikes were donated by Carl's and will be on display there until the June 4 drawing which will also be conducted at the store. Tickets of $1 each, or six for $5, are available from MVBB members and will also be sold at Carl's and in the down­ town Nashville business district, said Terpening. ' (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) SPECIAL SPRING FINANCING FROM cow’s energy intake can be increased, the better, but don’t feed too great an amount of grain too liberally,” Feeding excessive amounts of grain right after calving can cause a cow to go off feed. This can be prevented by increasing dry matter intake along with grain intake so that the ration is balanced. The roughage-to concentrate ratio is very important and needs to be carefully calculated. Feed levels above 60 percent concentrate should be avoided. For the cow milking 100 pounds per day or more, increasing feed level intake, rather than feeding more high energy concentrates, is the key to supplying suf­ ficient energy, Beta says. Cows fed in groups should be placed in the low production group for a couple ofweeks after calving and then moved to the high production group. When cows are housed in stall barns or fed with a computerized grain feeder and management is good, increasing grain to recently calved cows can help achieve milk production potential. The idea of “lead feeding” or “Challenge feeding” was developed to provide additional energy to recently calved cows but avoid health problems. Increasing a cow’s grain intake two or three pounds per day in early lactation is a general recommendation. Grahams to celebrate 50th In honor of the 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Arlo D.

Vol. 112-No. 45-Tuesday, May 15, 1984 Prospective factory buyers seek tax break by Susan Hinckley The old Standard Stam­ ping plant in Nashville — idle for several years — may again soon hear the hum of industrial activity. Ammond Plastics Corp, of Lansing currently is in­ volved in negotiations to acquire the facility at 1008 Reed Street, disclosed General Manager Richard Anderson at a Thursday meeting of the Nashville village council. He said his firm plans to manufacture after-market plastic and aluminum automobile products in­ cluding vehicle window louvers, sun roofs and RV vents. “The operation would initially by September 1st employ at least 15 persons,” said Anderson. “After the first of the year perhaps thirty would be employed.” He said most of the workers would be hired locally as only a few of the positions require the skills of experienced technicians. Anderson came before the council Thursday to request that the plant be designated an Industrial Redevelop­ ment District under Michigan’s P.A. 198, which would allow a tax break for the firm.' If approved, the action would in effect cut in half for 12 years property taxes on any physical im­ provements to the approved site and on equipment in­ stalled. The law does not change the present valuation of the property for tax purposes and does not affect the current tax assessment. What he called “rough estimates” of $30,000 in building improvements and $200,000 initial investment in equipment were proposed by Anderson. Final approval of a tax break under the In­ dustrial Facilities Exemp­ tion Certificate must come from the state tax comjnission. Among criteria stipulated under the act is that the proposed expansion or improvement is likely to create or retain local jobs. While indicating a favorable response to An­ derson’s proposal, the council took no formal action Thursday pending a con­ sultation with Village At­ torney Richard Wendt on legal procedure to im­ plement the tax break. Anderson said the Nash­ ville factory would be a separate operation and not a branch of Ammond Plastics in Lansing. In other business Thur­ sday, the council: — Accepted a bid of $13,800 from Service Enterprises Corp, of Evansville, Indiana to recoat the interior of the municipal water tower on West Casgrove Street. Service was one of four bidders on the job. — Agreed to extend a sewer collection main from Center Court to Casgrove Street across an easement in the Fuller Heights Addition to serve Lot32, where Walter Pincumbe proposes to build a home. — Tabled a bid of $5,025 from T. J. Miller Co. of Moline to remove 15 trees, trim 85, and grind out 28 stumps in the village. Council tabled the bid pending legal advice on ownership of the trees that stand between the curb and sidewalk along residential streets. Officials had proposed charging homeowners $120 if they wished to keep the wood for their own use. — Amended Section 3.07 of the Nashville Zoning Or­ dinance to require any mobile home placed in the village to be set on a frostfree foundation. — Decreed that the village is not responsible for repair of driveway approaches or under-drive drainage tubes unless damaged by the village. — Set 7 p.m. Thursday, May 24 as the date for a public hearing at the Community Center on the proposed abandonment of the undeveloped streets of Division and Mill, plus the south 132 feet of Grant, and an alley between Division and Grant to William and Joyce Moon, owners of all adjacent property in that portion of Staley’s Addition, west ofthe Thornapple River Bridge. — Agreed to pay $365 for Leon Frith, DPW supervisor, to attend a June 24-27 seminar of the Michigan Water Pollution Control Commission at Boyne Mountain. Cost is for tuition and board. — Appointed Village President John Hughes as administrator of the village employees’ pension plan. In 1962 Standard Stamping Company of Nashville moved into this plant at 1008 Reed Street, built in 1956 to house the former Nashville Manufacturing Company. The building may span be acquired by Ammond Plastics Corp, of Lansing for man­ ufacture of after-market auto products. It has been vacant since Standard Stamp­ ing closed their operation about three years ago and a temporary tenant Menominee Rubber - moved out in 1982.

Participating in the session at the United Methodist Community House were Carroll Wolff of Maple Valley; Carl Schoessel, Hastings; and Elwood Larsen, Charlotte. “Everyone has to deal with inflation - and schools do, too,” noted Schoessel, who with Wolff talked on the topic of millage and funding. Larsen discussed the im­ portance of education to the community. Wolff told the realtors that a good school system “will help you sell property (in the given community).” He reported that in recent state assessment tests of fourth, seventh, and tenth graders in this area, Hastings, Maple Valley and Charlotte all did well. Wolff added that students who participate in ex- tracurricular activities often are the ones who do the best academically. Schoessel pointed out that, in regard to financing school operations, the state is placing increased emphasis on local millage contribution in formulating the perstudent figure of state aid to education. He also talked of negative votes on millage issues. “Senior citizens generally are ‘no’ voters on millage proposals,” said Schoessel, “but because of breaks that senior citizens get in this state they really don’t have to pay much on increased millage.” He noted, however, that many senior citizens fail to take advantage of property tax breaks to which they are entitled.

She is all too often taken for granted; her wishes ignored, her advicee scorned, her feelings forgotten; until the day it is too late. Her life is a mixture of joy, sorrow, love, comfort, anxiety, pride in her children and agonizing worry about their well-being. We are urged all through the Bible to honor our parents and to think of our mother as a symbol of wisdom and kindness; and it takes more than just a gift for a special occasion to do this. Come to Church and learn how to honor and appreciate your mother and be loyal to her memory all the year ’round. Motherhood is, after all, woman’s great and incomparable work.

Last year, the program received $30 million from both state and federal ap­ propriations. This year, the committee recommends that $18 million in state funds be spent on the summer work program for youths aged 18-21. GOVERNOR SIGNS WORKER’S COMP BILLS INTO LAW - Governor Blanchard has signed into law H.B. 4016 and 4017, Republican-sponsored legislation extending compensation benefits to foundry employees with workrelated lung disease. The new law assures continuation of worker’s compensation coverage for any injury arising out of employment in a foundry through the silicosis and dust disease fund. Without these new laws, coverage would ex­ pire in 1986. ECONOMIC RECOVERY HITTING HOME - While the federal government and economic experts report that consumer confidence has reached its highest peak since 1966, Michigan can finally point to economic indicators that show the state benefiting from the national recovery. For March, 1984, state officials show sales tax revenues are up 20 percent; auto sales are up 42 percent and income tax revenues are up 12 percent. Michigan still experiences double-digit unemployment — 11.3 percent. But one year ago, that rate stood at 15.7 percent. HOSPICE CARE COVERAGE PROPOSED - Legislation that would require insurance policies to cover hospice and home health care is being introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives. The House Insurance Committee will conduct hearings on H.B. 4953-57 in the near future. OPERATION C.A.R.E. TO EMPHASIZE SEAT BELTS Michigan State Police are once again conducting Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) together with county and local law enforcement officials during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. However, this year, they are featuring an “All-American Buckle Up Program” to encourage the voluntary use of seat belts by front seat passengers. The promotional effort will run from May 24-31. TOURISM CONFERENCE - The First Annual Governor’s Conference on Tourism is being held this week in Flint. The conference is aimed at tourism providers and is stressing practical assistance on how to combine public and private resources to expand Michigan tourism. The conference participants will also get an early glimpse of Six Flags’ Autoworld, the largest enclosed amusement park in the world, scheduled to open July 1. Serving Our Country Christopher F.

Sports Lion JV nine pound Pennfield, 2-0 On a cold windy Tuesday the J.V. baseball team handed Pennfield its first league loss 20-10. The J.V. Lions pounded out 17 hits in the game and Brett Ramey was the winning pitcher. The J.V.’s got improved pitching last week and pounded out 51 hits in three ball games to raise their team batting average to .332. A total of 18 errors, passed balls and wild pitches which led in a great number of unearned runs hurt the Lions. In the Pennfield game Brett Ramey and Adam Brumm both hit homeruns with Adam collecting six runs batted in in the game. Tai Gearhart, Jim Fuller, Greg Tilley, and Brett Ramey each got two hits in the game. In the first game of the doubleheader Maple Valley rallied with five runs in the top of the sixth inning to take an 11 to 9 lead. Scott Joostberns was the winning pitcher striking out 12, walking 6 and he gave up five hits. Only one of the runs was earned as Maple Valley had one of their poorer fielding nights. In the Bellevue doubleheader Adam Brumm and Greg Tilley each got five hits. Tai Gearhart added three hits, Soctt Joostberns, Scott Phenix and Mark Martin each added two hits. Mark Martin also stole four bases in the ball game. Adam Brumm was the losing pitcher. Playing well defensively were Ken Meade and David Benit. The J.V. record is now three wins and six losses. They play Bronson Thursday at home with the game starting at 4:30. Maple Valley ball team faces tough, busy week After not playing any games last week because of the senior trip, Maple Valley’s varsity baseball team faces an extremely tough schedule in its quest for the S.M.A.A. cham­ pionship. On Monday the Lions took on Olivet in Vermontville. Tonight, beginning at 4:30, Maple Valley will play a non­ league contest with Pot­ terville at home. Thursday the Lions travel to Bronson, Friday they play Bellevue at home beginning at 4:30. On Saturday Maple Valley travels to Pennfield. This will be a doubly important contest as the one game will count as a league contest as well as the qualifying game for the pre-district state tournament. The loser of this game will be eliminated from state tournament play. The contest will begin at noon.

They toured the Garden of Gethsemane and the Dome of Ascension. The last day and a half were spent flying home with stops in Zurich, Switzerland; Boston, Chicago and finally Grand Rapids. A letter received last week from former local resident Edna (DeRiar) Hill of Wyoming, MI, said she recently had been involved in an auto accident, but though badly shaken up had sustained no fractures, so considers herself very fortunate. Mrs. Hill wrote that she had enjoyed reading the recent Memories con­ tribution by Edy the Klinkner and seeing the photo of Edythe and her three sisters, daughters of the late Chancy and Mina Hicks of Nashville. After reading in the Maple Valley News that one of them - Beatrice (Hicks) Buchanan - now lives at Luther Village in Grand Rapids, Mrs. Hill said she called her one evening and they had a nice chat by phone. She reports that Mrs. Buchanan plans to attend the upcoming alumni banquet and is “really elated” at the thought of attending after 60 years. Beatrice graduated in Nashville’s^ Class of 1924. The Mayo-Evans Birthday Club met at the home of Regina Reynolds on May 10. Lorene Loomis assisted the hostess in entertaining 14 members. The flower fund gift was won by Theda Gardner. Vanessa Carpenter and Marion Hamilton won the door prizes. The next meeting of the club will be the annual Sunshine Party June 14 at the Riverside Cafe in Bellevue. All former club members are invited to join the group for lunch.’ Mrs. Marjorie Schaperkatter of Grand Rapids spent Thursday in Nashville with her sister, Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid.

SatarHiy �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday. May 22. 1984 — Page 4 Memories of the past. by Susan Hinckley Author's note: A Memories of the Past published on May 28, 1980, traced Nashville's first observance of Decoration Day. In today's column, a reprint from last year at this time, we present a photo review depicting those early Memorial events which now have become part of the history and tradition of the village). After the summer house was built in 1909 in Putnam Park, Decoration Day events often centered in that area, as the cement block structure proved a handy speaker's platform for ceremonies. The village band usually provided music for the event. Solemn as well as festive activities marked the day. Baseball games played by local teams and a season-opening dance at the Thornapple Lake pavilion were some of the traditional Memorial Day events enjoyed by earlier generations of Nashville residents. Photo Review of Memorial Observances of Long Ago Parading southward on Nashville's North Main Street about 1911 are the Odd Fellows (IOOF), an organization that frequently participated in early Decoration Day observances 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 Jefford's Post, Grand Army of the Republic, assisted by the Women's Relief Corps. Schoolchildren also played a big role in the parades and helped decorate graves. Area cemeteries, such as Union Cemetery near Lacey (seen in this pre-1910 photo), were the scenes of inspirational oratory on Decoration Day. The event also was a time for socializing with relatives and neighbors. A small crowd is gathered here under the Stars ’n Stripes for a patriotic ceremony, but it was not uncommon to see as many as 1,000 or more in attendance at Nashville's Memorial Day events. The afternoon often called for oratory at the local opera house, and attracted large audiences including rural resident who came to town for the holiday. Many of the graves at Nashville's Lakeview Cemetery are marked with stones designed and sold by Walter B. Stillwell, seen in this 1909 photo with his daughter, tLuna, on the porch of their home at 218 Francis Street. Lakeview Cemetery was the termination point of most early local Decoration Day parades. Graves there were decorated with bouquets, flower wreaths or flags placed by loving relatives and local organizations. Today, the final resting places of veterans at Lakeview still are marked by the VFW, and the Nashville Fire Dept, places flags on graves of departed firemen. Autos of the era line up westbound on Washington Street for the 1916 Memorial Day parade in Nashville. Visible at left is the old Feighner (earlier Lentz) furniture showroom which in 1928 was converted into the Masonic Temple. The white building on the corner is the old Appelman grocery before it was razed in 1926. The dark face of the old opera house is barely visible just behind it. Longtime Nashville groceryman Colin T. Munro, seen here in an autumn picture in full Masonic Knights Templar dress, was typical of the paraders who proudly took part in early local Decora Decora-­ tion Day festivities. Young­ sters dressed in white and carrying small American flags also were among the holiday marchers. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday. May 22, 1984 — Page 5 AI.Y. Schools REPORT by Superintendent Carroll J. Wolff The registered electors in the Maple Valley School District will be electing one member of the board of education for a four year term plus voting upon ad­ ditional millage proposals at the annual election to be held Monday, June 11, 1984. Candidates for the one position on the board of education include Ronald Tobias and James Bryan. This term will begin July 1, 1984 through June 30, 1988. The one tax rate limitation increase proposition for operating purposes is for 3.5 mills ($3.50 on each $1,000) of state equalized valuation for the year 1984 adn 4.5 mills ($4.50 on each $1,000) of state equalized valuation for the year 1985. The second tax rate limitation increase proposition for extra curricular programs is for .5 mill ($.50 on each $1,000) on state equalized valuation for a period of two years. The Maple Valley School District has been ex­ periencing rising costs like other school districts during the past years. The school district is operating presently at a deficit, and it will be necessary to make program adjustments in future years unless ad­ ditional dollars are made available at Maple Valley. The school district had a levy of 25.01 mills this school year for operational pur­ poses and 1.20 mills for debt retirement. The state average this school year for operational millage is in excess of thirty-one mills, and Maple Valley has one of the lowest millage rates in the State of Michigan plus having one of the lowest general fund expenditures per student.

TA/ Maple Valley Athletic Boosters BINGO MAPLE VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA THURSDAYS... 7:00 p.m. Early Birds ... 6:30 p.m. The State Aid Act is written on the concept of a state-local sharing of the cost involved for educating students. This current school year a school district receives $59 per mill plus $328 per student. The only way that a school district may actually obtain more dollars for educating boys and girls is through in­ creasing the millage rate for operational purposes under the current state aid program. This school year under the current state aid act the state pays $903.42 per student at Maple Valley and the local district property tax income is $900.16 per student. Therefore, it is apparent that for every dollar paid locally the State presently will pay approximately $1 also to help educate Maple Valley students. I fully realize that the state’s percentage share of the cost has decreased in recent years, but Maple Valley could receive more state dollars in the future by increasing the local operational millage rate. The one-half mill for extra curricular programs would be used to help offset costs involved in programs presently operating plus attempting to restore some of these programs. As you well know Maple Valley students have been making a donation to play on various athletic teams which is not the case in most school districts. The athletic boosters and band boosters have been doing an out­ standing job of supporting these programs, and it is certain that additional dollars will be necessary in the future to support such programs. The number of students enrolled in band has in­ creased rapidly in the past two years, and such a fine program requires additional dollars to continue this growth in the future: Also, we would like to be able to expand the time involved in our summer vocational agriculture program as well as considering other programs. Basically we should all center our attention on the basic educational program provided at Maple Valley. All ofus can take pride in the many accomplishments of Maple Valley students this school year. This is true at both the academic as well as participation in extra curricular activities. What we need to work toward is making certain that we are able to provide a good educational opportunity for all students at Maple Valley in future years. ^Borlowj AUCTION & REALTY, INC.

Nashville, Tuesday, May 22. 1984 —Page 6 Marketing distributive education program available for students An exceptional Vocational Education program has been established through the Eaton Intermediate School District’s Vocational Education Department. The program is offered at Southridge Vocational Center in Charlotte. It combines the benefits of both classroom-lab training and on site practical ex­ periences. The students perform most of the duties of a retail business as they operate a snack bar and gift shop located in the student lounge at Southridge. In addition, the students learn to operate the Howard Imprinting Machine, Cawley Thermal Engraver, and New Hermes Scratch Engraver. Merchandise such as trohpies, plaques, name badges, business cards, luggage tags, autograph books, desk and door tags, picture frames and many other engravable items are done by the students in the production area of the classroom. According to Beverly Barea, instructor of the class, “Production orders have been keeping the class busy.” Name tags for EATRAN drivers and the Barry-Eaton Health Department were among items produced this year. Business cards have also been a popular item for production. Ms. Barea said items are produced through orders from the public. Another important part of the Marketing-Distributive Education curriculum is the internship component which occurs second semester. In the second semester, students are assigned to various local Charlotte businesses for unpaid work Nancy’s experience. This experience normally lasts a minimum of two weeks at each local training site. While on an internship, the students check in with the cooperative business and are welcomed as new “em­ ployees". Each student is required to wear a name badge which helps to identify the student as an “EISD Trainee”. Each student learns how to complete necessary business forms, do stock control records, mark merchandise, operate a cash register, wait on customers, do basic housekeeping duties and perform other retailing tasks that are appropriate of the particular business. The students have found the businesses and full-time employees extremely helpful and beneficial in their retailing experiences. These valuable experiences aid in their personal and professional growth, as well as improving their vocational skills. Beauty Shop 157 S.

Furrow Treasurer, Barry County, Michigan This Notice is given by orderof the Board of Education. Merle Martin Secretary, Board of Education Right to Know' debate continues One of the intricacies of the legislative process deals with the development of necessary legislation that, on one hand, has a positive effect on the populous, but on the other hand, may be detrimental to commerce, trade, employment and other areas where we strive to earn a living. There are currently two bills before the Michigan Legislature that are designed to improve safety in the workplace by requiring chemical com­ panies and industrial users to furnish information concerning hazardous substances to workers. We call it “right to know’’ legislation. We are walking a fine line in the Legislature as we try to ensure, worker safety at the same time we are trying to ease restric­ tions on business and in­ dustry. The dialogue that this issue has created in Lansing has already increased our awareness of some potentially dangerous situations that cannot be ignored. However, some remedies and solutions being discussed could further damage Michigan’s inability to compete with other states for businesses and jobs. House Bill 5357 is a concept that was originally introduced during the Carter administration and is currently promoted by some labor unions. It is perceived by its proponents as a guarantee of the safety of workers in Michigan. It is viewed by many others as an over-regulation that could cost consumers more than $270 million without significantly improving safety. Senate Bill 373, in its present form, would adopt the federal safety regulations by reference. This 68-page detailed federal approach to safety regulates all chemical manufacturers, importers, or chemical users. Supporters of this approach feel it is a responsible way to improve safety without unneccessarily diminishing job opportunities. Opponents don’t think it goes far enough to ensure worker safety. H.B. 5357, on the other hand, would regulate all employers. The price tag to implement S.B. 373 will be $40 million. The recently-released Alexander Grant Co. business climate study of the 48 continental states rates Michigan last, partly because of our heavy industrilization that has led to the enactment of restrictive regulations and high taxes. To improve our business image, we must play by the same rules as competing employers in other states. The mistakes that the Michigan legislature makes are benefits to Ohio, Indiana, and even Canada. Obviously, to be com­ petitive, the business community should not be saddled with unnecessary extra costs. The creation and deployment of a set of safety standards that differ greatly from nearby states would serve our working people less, than if we created a model for workplace safety. Why? Simply because there would be no jobs left to keep safe. This could be the case in Michigan if the separate set of regulations which would exist under H.B. 5357 are adopted. We need only to look at over-regulated programs like the Michigan Oc­ cupational Safety and Health Act (MIOSHA) to illustrate how state regulations that surpass federal regulations place us at a distrinct disadvantage when trying to expand our jobs base. If dollars alone would add a significant measure of safety to the worker, no amount of money would be too much. However, H.B. 5357 does not create a significantly increased measure of safety beyond the federal regulations .. it would only create higher unemployment in Michigan and further erode our already notorious business climate. EPA Sanctions Could Jeopardize Federal Funds and State Jobs If the Environmental Protection Agency should impose economic sanctions on the tri-county area, state officials estimate that the region would lose up to $200 million in funding and 12,000 current and new jobs. Facing this threat, state officials have until June to establish a vehicle-emissions testing program for Wayne,. Oakland and Macomb counties or the EPS says it will halt federal highway funds and permits for industrial expansions in the region, still struggling to recover from the recession. Federal law requires the testing program because air in the metropolitan area violates federal health standards. The EPA claims that the 2.3 million vehicles in the three counties are a major source of pollution. Under such a program, owners of cars and trucks in the tri-county area would be required to pay $10 for a state-approved test Despite months of negotiations against these unfair requirements, it appears that the federal officials will not budge. State Tran­ sportation Director James Pitz has advised the governor that the federally mandated inspection program is inevitable. And the threat of sanctions is just weeks away. If the state cannot get an extension on the imposition of the sanctions, Governor Blan­ chard should consider issuing emergency rules imposing the emissions testing program. The ad­ ministration has no specific proposal, but has listed options that include a new testing program' to replace one the Legislature approved but never implemented. Action is needed soon because the sanction threat could, devastate the region. State Commerce The Department has estimated that the sanctions would cause the loss of more than 5,000 jobs on the 1-696 project, now in its final stages, because the state would lose $125 million in federal funds needed to complete the project. The punishment would also mean a ban on new construction or expansion of manufacturing plants and a halt on federal financing of major highway improvements or construction. While the sanctions would be temporary and only imposed in the tri-county area, their impact on a state just rebounding from a severe recession could be devasting. The sanctions must be avoided at all costs and I urge the Blanchard administration to take whatever bold action is needed to avoid the punishment that could derail our present economic recovery.

These findings reinforce other national data reported earlier this year by the media. Eighty trained 4-H volunteers queried nearly 400 Michigan families that were selected at random from public and private school lists last spring. Parents and children responded separately to a wide range of questions on self-esteem, selfmanagement by the young adolescents, family relationships, skill areas and career preferences. Nearly 80 percent of families report that the previous year was either a very good year (20 percent) or that it was good and bad, but mostly good (60 per­ cent). This is good news-bad news, says Joanne Keith, Extension specialist in human development, who, along with Leah Hoopfer, 4-h program leader, was a co­ investigator in the research project. “While it’s gratifying to know that eight out of 10 families feel things are going well, we still need to be concerned that two out of 10 families are having problems,” she says. A majority of the parents reported being very con­ cerned about their child’s ability to assume respon­ sibility and indicated this is an area in which they would like help. Seventy-five percent of the parents said their child needed reminders to carry out family responsibilities; 50 percent said they needed reminders to do homework. The investigators were somewhat surprised that the career aspirations, out-of­ school activities and household chores reported by the youths followed traditional gender lines. Boys reported that they would most of all like to be computer programmers, space engineers, lawyers and wildlife managers, while girls expressed preferences for child care, secretarial work, nursing and teaching. However, when asked what they’d like to learn, both boys and girls indicated an interest in computers. Parents also felt that computer skills were im­ portant for their children to have, but 95 percent of the parents felt that in­ terpersonal and leadership skills were also important. “Schools are being pushed to teach technology,” Keith says, “but people skills are traditionally learned in the home. Now families are saying they want support in this area.” Another important area is self-esteem. Slightly more than 50 percent of the youths indicated they generally felt good about themselves. In contrast, 73 percent of the youths said they felt good about their social relationships and 72 percent had positive feelings toward their parents. “This could mean that lly 9-9-,Sund^^ early adolescents may need some help from their peers and their parents in feeling better about themselves,” Keith says. “The implications for youth organizations, such as 4-H, are clear,” she says. “They can be of major assistance to youths by Regular Prices Moy Vary Sun.

If the answer is yes and you want to get rid of them, now is the time to take action. County Extension Director Allen Krizek indicates there are basically two approaches that can be utilized to control dandelions: cultural and chemical. The cultural method is useful for smaller lawns and lawns with few dandelions. This method involves cutting or digging out the dandelion root during April and May. In the spring, the dan­ delion root has the lowest amount of stored food and is less likely to resprout following cutting. For most effective control the root should be cut as deeply as possible, preferably four to five inches. The chemical approach relys on the use of the her­ bicide 2, 4-D. Dandelions and many other broadleaf weeds (not grasses) are readily controlled by this herbicide. 2, 4-D (liquid or granular) should be applied either in the spring or the fall during periods of active week growth. Do not treat when rain is predicted within 12 hours or on windy, days. Regardless of the method used, once dandelions are under control, main a thick, well fertilized and manged lawn. A healthy lawn will resist future invasions of dandelions and many other weeds. Phone 945-9554 for ActionAds!

Nashville Vol. 112—Nd. 47—Tuesday. May 29. 1984 Nelson Brumm honored by Lions for 40 years of service by Susan Hinckley “There’s no greater man in our district than Nelson Brumm,” declared Oscar Anderson of Sparta, governor ofLions District 11C-l at a Monday evening tribute to Brumm, who was surprised with special honors at a dinner meeting of the Nashville Lions Club in the United Methodist Community House. The occasion marked Brumm’s 40th year as a member of the Lions Club. He joined the organization in 1944, just two years after the local group was chartered, and has maintained a perfect attendance record oyer the past four decades. In addition to playing a very active role in the Lions Club, he has introduced 29 new members into the Nash­ ville organization ana is one of the greatest boosters of Lionism. In his remarks Monday evening Brumm said, “Everyone should be a Lion... It’s the best, the largest servicp organization in the world.” Anderson presented Brumm with a lifetime membership, a 40-year Monarch Award, and a 40­ year chevron. Brumm noted that though 40 years sounds like a long time, “It has gone pretty fast, especially When you’re involved.” Being “involved” is somewhat of an understatement when it comes to Brumm’s Record with the Lions organization. He has held numerous offices and posts at both local and district levels during the past 40 years. He served as local club prekident for the 1948-49 year, and again in 1962-63. He was secretary-treasurer of the organization from 1955-58, then elected to that post again in 1973 and has retained it to the current time. He also has been district representative for the Michigan White Cane Committee for 1978-79, served on the CARE com­ mittee as district representative in 1979-80, and is now serving his second 2-year term on the state White Cane committee. Brumm’s longtime in­ terest in charitable and service work is reflected in his volunteer efforts on behalf of the American Cancer Society, United Way, and the March ofDimes. Other community en­ deavors include being a member of the Boy Scout Committee and serving 15 years on Nashville’s Maple Syrup Association as one who gets actively involved in producing the syrup along with other volunteers. He is a member of the Nashville United Methodist Church. A Nashville native, Nelson graduated in 1926 from Nashville High School then majored in agriculture at Michigan State College (now MSU), where he graduated in 1928 with a Bachelor of Science Degree. Following college, Brumm was employed by the state as a bee inspector for two years. Later he became manager of A. & P. grocery stores in Greenville and Eaton Rapids for a year. Returning to Nashville to a farm north of the village, he remained there 15 years then moved into town to operate a dairy route between Nash­ ville and Vermontville. Closing his Washington Street dairy operation after 15 years service, Nelson and his wife opened a family clothing store on Nashville’s Main Street which they operated for several years preceding their retirement. Nelson and the former Geneva DeVine of Nashville will celebrate 56 years of marriage on June 23; They have three daughters, Mrs. Annella Parker of Saline, Mrs. Shirlie Augustine and Mrs. Janice Johnson, both of Nashville, eight grand­ children and eight great grandchildren. In his spare time, which is limited for such an active “retired” person, Brumm enjoys collecting driftwood and small stones, and has an unusual collection of paper bags from around the world. He is fond of categorizing his sack hobby as “something a fellow does when he has nothing better to do.” Gardening also is high on his list -of enjoyable ac­ tivities. In addition to his extensive volunteerism, Nelson has served the village and township in an official capacity. He was Castleton Township treasurer from 1937 to 1949, served as a Nashville village trustee from 1952-54 and was Nash­ ville’s village clerk from 1954-58. He also has served on various school and civic committees, including many for the local Chamber of Commerce, where he frequently spearheaded the annual membership drive. As with Lionism, he recruited others to active participation. His en­ thusiasm and dedication have inspired others, and the entire Nashville community has' benefited because of Nelson Brumm’s tireless contributions to public service. His fellow Lions recognized this Monday as they rose to give him a standing ovation. Nelson’s Brumm enthusiasm for the Lions Club International organization was characterized by his remarks at the dinner where he received unexpected honors for his dedication and service to the club. The special awards and recognition at the Lions regular monthly dinner meeting came as a' surprise to Brumm, who received a standing ovation. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) Nelson Brumm, right, the "Grand lion” of Nashville's Lions Club, was honored at a Monday night dinner of the organization in recognition of 40 years of dedi­ cated membership. He joined the local club in 1944, just two years after it was formed.

Vermontville Teen Miss contestant is semi-finalist in state pageant On May 20, Karris True competed in the Michigan Teen Miss Pageant at the Lansing Hilton Inn. Although not the top winner, Karris did finish as one of the semi­ finalists. Her family, friends and neighbors who attended the event all agree that Karris was, indeed, a real winner and represented Vermontville well. In the first competition, the contestants participated in “Tip-of-the-Hat a Message”. This was to be a one sentence salute to someone who contributed to our American Heritage. Karris’ message was a salute to the Unknown Soldier who died while fighting to keep America free. For this, all the con­ testants wore black slacks, a white blouse with a ribbon tie, and a top hat. The second phase of the competition was a com­ bination of a “Heartfelt Message”, to be approximately 15 seconds in length, and an evening gown competition. Karris’ message was that people who live quiet lives can be just as equally successful as those who gain great fame in their chosen fields. Karris’ evening gown was light pink with rows of lace cascading down the back. Her hair was styled by Nancy Ainsworth and her wrist corsage,/ of pink sweetheart roses and baby’s breath, was designed by Charlotte Plaza Florist. She also carried a single, long- stemmed, pink rose. After the evening gown competition, there was a small break after which the semi-finalists were an­ nounced. These girls then competed in an interview competition in which each girl drew two questions out of a hat. Karris did very well in this area. After that, Michigan Teen Miss was named. Michigan Teen is now Rozeta M. Rox, Lansing Teen Miss. She is from Detroit. Karris was sponsored by Nancy’s Beauty Shop, Vermontville Hardware, Citizens Elevator Co., and Andy True, all of Vermontville. In attendance at the �The MupleVailey New's. Nashville, Tuesday.

Among short vacation trips enjoyed were visits to John Ball Park’s pristinely land­ scaped zoo in Grand Rapids; the colorful but congested Holland Tulip Festival; the Fenn Valley Winery near Fennville; and a pre-season tour of the SaugatuckDouglas tourist mecca on the shore of Lake Michigan.

Later we visited the city’s downtown area, which in recent years has undergone extensive renovation to produce a strikingly attractive heart to a bustling metropolis. Other American cities could learn a lesson in urban renewal from Toledo, where a restful and immaculate Promenade Park borders the Maumee River in the shadow of towering new office buildings in the “City of Glass.” One of our stops was at the new Portside Festival Marketplace recently built on the waterfrong site of a 19th century store called Tiedtke’s which, with an ongoing festival atmosphere, blossomed into the largest store in America in its heyday. With over seven acres of floorspace the old market boasted three restaurants, a large grocery, numerous dry goods mer­ chants, a bakery and delicatessen - with clowns, jugglers and musicians adding merriment to the scene. The new Portside market captures some of that oldtime flavor with fresh fruit, flowers, ethnic foods and baked goods being peddled from elegant “push” carts. Art and craft items also are available in the two-story market with a scenic view of the Maumee At the recent grand opening of Portside held in conjuncitonwit a cityv§de “Holy Toledo, ’s pring” celebration, TV ierman Willard Scott NBC’sT Today show, broaacafef*‘live" from the new market and the ? Maumee waterfront where a new “paddlewheeler,” the Arawana Princess peacefully plys the river at a leisurely pace while passengers dine aboard the Victorian, canopied craft. We saw the Princess Wed­ nesday, along with an im­ mense Canadian frieghter making its way up river. Among other highlights of our visit with the Fullers were stops at several im­ pressive new downtown structures: the Toledo Edison building; the 30-story Owens-Illinois Fiberglas Tower, where an impressive exhibit of contemporary glass art was on display; and the Toledo Trust headquarters. Other points of interest during the day were a tour of the Toledo Zoo, which ranks among the finest in the nation; the Southwyck shopping mall; and the Toledo Express airport. Don’t forget the annual Maple Valley alumni banquet Saturday evening, June 2, at the high school cafeteria. The family style meal will be served starting at 7 p.m., but the school will be opened at 5 p.m. to allow visitors a couple hours to chat and reminisce prior to the dinner. Nashville’s Class of 1934 will be among the milestone graduates honored at that event, and they also plan a reunion prior to the banquet. They will gather from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Community Center in Putnam Park for refreshments and visiting. Friends of the class are welcome to stop by. Between 50 and 60 vintage autos are expected to stop in Nashville on the afternoon of Sunday, June 10. Members of the Grand Rapids Antique Auto Club will be coming through town en route home after a weekend outing, and have been invited by the local Chamber of Commerce to stop for refreshments at the Masonic Temple. They are planning to arrive between 3 and 4 p.m., and the public is cordially invited to be on hand to welcome them and to inspect the cars.

Deadline for the ad listing is June 7. The event sponsored last year by the Chamber was a big hit, drawing large crowds of bargain-hunters to town, and the organization hopes to make it a yearly affair. Only change in rules for 1984 is that no newmerchandise vendors will be allowed to set up in the vacant lot on Main Street. Local residents, however, may use that spot if it is inconvenient to conduct a yard sale at their home. Remember that tickets are now available for two Sch­ winn World Tourist bikes being raffled by Maple Valley Band Boosters to raise funds for new uniforms. Tickets at $1 donation, or six for $5, are being sold at Carl’s Super Market and by Band Booster members. The bicycles, a man’s and women’s, were donated by Carl’s and will be on display there until the June 4 drawing to be con­ ducted at the store. Condolences are extended to the family of Howard Dingman, who passed away last Tuesday at the age of 71. He was a lifelong area farmer, living north of town. On Mother’s day Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nash­ ville was a guest of her daughter of son-in-law, Doris and Cleo Jacobs of Algonquin Lake, Hastings, for dinner at Cornwell Turkey Farm near Marshall. The day before that, callers on Mrs. Ramsey were her son Glen, of Dowling, and daughter and family, Claudette and Ted Myers of Charlotte. The Wednesday following Mother’s Day, Elsie was a dinner guest of the Myers at their home. At their final meeting Monday before disbanding for the summer, God’s No­ Munch Bunch picked Debbie Morawski as top weekly weight loss winner for the week. She dropped three and one-half pounds to earn the title.

This week, in a reprint of an article which first appeared at this time last year, a photo review of early commencement activities revives memories of days when a typical NHS graduating class numbered from four to fourteen. Invitations to Nashville's first graduation service, June 17, 1887, carried the class motto, "We Finish But to Begin." Board of Education members out numbered the four graduates. Participating in the program were several junior classmen and two local ministers. Hon. Joseph E. Estabrook delivered the commencement address. Diplomas were awarded by Superintendent J.W. Roberts. Since there was no school band at that time, music for the event was furnished by the Nash­ ville Cornet Band, a group of village musicians. Other musical selections were rendered by the school choir and individual students. ^[ASHVILLE MNION The first alumni banquet and reunion of Nashville High School was staged the year this class graduated. The Class of 1893 is seen here as juniors. Front row 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 graduated with the class.

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 diplomas was often the briefest part of the ceremony. Nashville's Union School, completed in 1885, had a 3-year high school curriculum 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 replaced that same year with a similarly style brick building - which was later torn down after school consolidation in the 1960s.

Symptoms appear as yellow.or light green dashes and streaks in mildly af­ fected plants and as bright yellow-green steaking in more severely affected plants. The dashes and streaks are oriented parallel to the leaf veins and taper at both ends to form spindles. Krizek indicates intensive wheat culture in the same field allows the WSSM virus to build up in the soil. Also because of the prolonged cool spring weather, WSSM symptoms are more pronounced this year.

Jeff had charge of arranging this display in the room of teacher Vicki Polanski. Seated at the table is student Bobby Allen. Fourth-graders taught by Geri Long at Fuller Street school staged a play. The Magic Goose. Some of the cast were, front row from left; Sarah DeGroot, Jim Edinger, Stacy Wood, Craig Swanson, Renee Dingman, and back row, from left, Janet Boldrey, Kelly Hickey and Chip Reese. Michigan Week provided a theme for much of the ac­ tivity associated with annual Grandparents’ Day, Thursday; at Kellogg and Fuller Street elementary schools in Nashville. At Kellogg, sixth graders in the class of teacher Sandra Briggs transformed a two-way staircase to the second floor into a whimsical “Mackinac Bridge to the Upper Peninsula”. In the sixth grade classroom of Vicki Polanski, students exhibited displays promoting the state’s in­ dustrial and agricultural commerce. Also drawing attention to the geography of Michigan were the hallways of Kellogg School, where cutouts of each of the 83 counties were suspended from the ceiling. Numerous other posters, activities, etc. spotlighted the state. The day proved an exciting one at Kellogg as well as Fuller Street school, when large numbers of grad­ parents responded to the students’ invitation to tour the facilities and share part of the childrens’ schoolday. The “tables were turned” in the kindergarten class of Pam Hunt at Fuller Street, where visiting grandparents were asked to participate in the daily Show and Tell session, and especially to relate memories of their own school experiences. Later the adults shared a snack time with the children, followed by a kickball game on the playground. The day proved an exciting one when large numbers of grandparents responded to the students invitation to tour the facilities. . . Some classes staged plays or other shows for their visitors. Fourth-graders in the class of Gerri Long presented “The Magic Goose” for an appreciative audience, Thursday mor- ning. The Michigan Week exhibits at Kellogg School also were enjoyed during the evening when the Nashville P.T.O. held their meeting there. Kellogg School students (from top), Lee Ossenheimer, Tina Moccardine, Church Warren, and Billy Brauer, show the whimsical stairway bridge to the Upper Peninsula created by 6th graders in the class of Sandra Briggs.

You’ll find a wide selection, with designs for men and women and younger The ingenuity of Kellogg School sixth graders is seen in these posters displayed Thursday for Grandparents' Day. Each read "I'm a Michigander, as you can see; This is what my state means to me...,” then was completed by the individual students with words and pictures. Admiring the display is Jason Brown, a 5th grader at the school, and his grandmother Ruth Brown.

Public Act 97 extends the date for worker’s compensation of silicosis and dust diseases; P.A. 100 allows the use of strobe lights on school buses; P.A. 101 allows savings and loan institutions to establish and maintain common trust funds and expand that new service on an interstate basis to aid Michigan retirees residing in other states; P.A. 102 removes rule making authority from the Department of Corrections over local holding facilities; and P.A. 104, legislation that restores more than $40 million in road improvement projects for the Department of Transportation and county road com­ missions. TREASURY REFUNDS EXCEED 1983 AVERAGES - Not only are state income tax refunds larger and more plentiful this year, but they are getting back to the taxpayers quicker because of improved processing techniques being used for the first time. Over two million refunds have already been mailed. As of May 15, 341,787 more refunds have been sent out than at this same time last year. The average refund, $325.84, is about $26.34 more than last year’s average. LEGISLATION WOULD LEGALIZE GREYHOUND RACING - Legislation has been introduced recently in the Michigan Legislature that would legalize greyhound racing in Michigan. There are currently 17 states with legalized greyhound dog racing, and supporters of the bill claim that the proposal would generate tourism, create 2,500 con­ struction jobs and 1,600 permanent jobs, and would add $15 million in state revenues during its first year in operation.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 112 - No. 48 — Tuesday, June 5, 1984 Think big, think bold" speaker tells Maple Valley grads With a challenge to "Think big," commencement speaker Jack D. Bittie told the seniors, "You may be sitting next to a future president of the United States or a Nobel prize winner." There were a few gaps in the sea of mortarboards as several seniors joined the Maple Valley band to play the "Senior Song," their last official performance with the group. by Susan Hinckley Maple Valley’s Class of 1984 was urged to “Think big, think bold,” by Jack D. Bittie, keynote speaker at their commencement exercises Sunday afternoon at Fuller Street athletic field in Nashville. “Some people do not realize how far they can go and they set their goals too low,” warned Bittie, a for­ mer teacher who is now executive director of the Michigan Association of Secondary School Prin-. doubts and fears. “The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing,” noted Bittie. “Only a person who risks is free.” He added, however, that many never reach the high­ way of success because “the road to it is called Hard Work.” Bittle’s theme tied in with the Class of ’84 motto: “Dream not of yesterday... but of tomorrow.” Sunday’s ceremony was staged under sunny skies with a breeze lively enough cipals. “As you approach the doors of opportunity, be sure you have the (necessary) keys to open them,” he advised the seniors. He told them that with a high school diploma they statistically will earn $260,000 more in a lifetime than a high school drop-out. Bittie suggested that the young people adopt a philosophy of being content but never satisfied, to be bold in their pursuit of success, and not be a slave to Millage hike faces M.V. voters Monday; two seek board seat by Susan Hinckley James R. Bryan of 3998 Morgan Road, Nashville, will challenge incumbent Ronald J. Tobias for a fouryear seat on the Maple Valley Board of Education in the June 11 election. Voters also will decide that day on two proposed millage increases: one for operational purposes and the other for extracurricular programs. Tobias, 44, of 391 N. Clark Road, Nashville, was elected to the board in 1981 and has served as treasurer for the past year. A self-employed farmer and fence dealer, Tobias is an 18-year resident of the district. He and his wife, Carol, have two children: Timothy, a student at MSU, and Tamara, a 1984 MVHS graduate. “I will do my best to keep the people in mind when it comes to taxes,” said Tobias. He added that his vote always would be for stuent needs first, whether in the classroom or for ex­ tracurricular programs, “then (school) employees can have what is left as long as the budget is balanced.” Tobias noted: “I will never be involved in a cover-up of any kind; the truth hurts sometimes but it is better in the long run.” His challenger is a steam and pipe fitter journeyman employed 10 years at Hastings Manufacturing Company, a 28-year resident of the Maple Valley district, and a 1964 MVHS graduate. Bryan and his wife, June, have three children: James, Jr., Angel and Shawn. He has been active in the past with Nashville Area Boy Scouts, and is now involved with the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters, serving as its president this year. In that capacity, Bryans said he has had an excellent opportunity to meet and work with many people associated with the school system. “The residents of our school district can be proud of the end results of our education system here at Maple Valley,” said Bryans. “But as everyone knows, there is always room for improvement.” He added that he feels the school board has a responsibility to the elec­ torate to represent them and to “be open and com­ municate both to the ad­ ministration and everyone involved with the education of our children.” He noted that if there are any changes to be made in the local system, he would like to have a voice in those decisions as a member of the school board. On Monday’s ballot, Maple Valley voters will be asked to approve a hike of 3.5 mills ($3.50 per $4,000 of state equalized valuation) for the year 1984, and4.5 mills ($4.50 MILLAGE cont. on page 8 to life mortarboards from time to time. The Maple Valley High School band directed by Duane Thatcher provided music for the occasion. Superintendent Carroll Wolff extended a welcome to the audience of parents, relatives and friends. Burr Hartenburg, principal, was in charge of presenting the class for diplomas awarded by school board trustees David Hawkins, Merle Martin and Ronald Tobias. Rev. Larry Pike of Clarksville Bible Church delivered the invocation, and Rev. Leonard Putnam of Nashville United Methodist Church later offered the closing benediction. Thomas -McArthur, salutatorian of the class, gave a brief address as did John Myers and Luke Potter, who shared valedictory honors.

Since then we have been told he lived in La Jolla. California. A letter last week from a relative of his by marriage confirmed this. Mrs. Kenneth (Eathel) Simpson of Charlotte read our item in the Maple Valley News and wrote that Roe’s wife Sherle is a cousin to her late husband. The two women still correspond at Christmastime. “She paints pictures to sell and I believe he (Roe) retired quite some time ago,” noted Mrs. Simpson. “They have one son and grandchildren that live nearby.” She provided the following address: C. Roe Tuttle, 1341 Park Row, La Jolla, CA 92037. “I am going to send the Nashville News item to them so he will know he is still thought of in Nashville,” added Eathel. Oldtimes will recall that Roe is the son of the late Carl and Lena (Roe) Tuttle of Nash­ ville. He graduated from high school here in 1924. Our thanks to Mrs. Simp­ son and to others who write or call with information sought by our readers. Your contributions to this column are always welcome. A dear lady, Bunny Shaw, who is loved by countless former students and residents of this community, marked her 90th birthday Thursday, May 24, with a delightful dinner at the home of her niece, Miss Barbara Wilcox of Hastings. It was the first time in several months that Bunny has been able to get out of the house for such an outing. She received many lovely cards, also. The former Bernice Mead, she was born at Barryville and moved into Nashville when she was 14. Bunny graduated in 1911 from NHS and later taught school here. She has been a lifelong area resident.

George Frith of Nashville returned home from Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo Thursday, having made a very speedy recovery from surgery two weeks earlier to remove a benign brain tumor. Even his doctors were amazed at how fast he has recovered, said George. The Friths daughter, Roxanne, who flew home from Tucson, Arizona, to be with her parents, returned Thursday evening, flying from Grand Rapids. Her father will continue to convalesce quietly at home. He says he will not be allowed to drive for some time. An American Red Cross blood drive will be conducted in Nashville on Wednesday, June 20, from 1 to 6:45 p.m. at the United Methodist Community House. Carleen Overholt is chairperson of the campaign. A good turnout of Nash­ ville’s Class of 1934 filled the Community Center building in Putnam Park Saturday afternoon, with 17 of the surviving 28 members of the class present, plus spouses and guests. (Details elsewhere in this issue.) While at the gathering we enjoyed chatting with a former local resident, Victor Baas, who now lives in Lansing and stopped by as a visitor.

This is pobably the most im­ portant millage vote we have ever had. For years I attended board meetings and have helped on several projects, but whenever I spoke up at a meeting, I was informed that I should be quiet. I was told “you are a teacher’s wife” and therefore should not comment. Well, I am a teacher’s wife and very proud of it. I also am a parent with children in this system, and that fact weighs more than where my husband is employed. To me, an excellent education is the most im­ portant thing we can do for our children. It’s one sure way of showing and telling our children that we really care and are interested in their future. Oh, yes, I know what you’re thinking — if the millage passes, my husband will receive a big raise — well, that is not true. Sure, he will receive some raise and why shouldn’t he or the other teachers? The majority of the teachers in this system have at least 15 years in­ vested. Don’t they deserve to earn a decent wage? Their groceries and utilities cost the same as everyone’s. They pay the same interest rates at the banks and also the same amounts in property taxes. I believe in this district and would hope that the other people who live here do also, and that they want the best for their children. Whenever this district has had a money crisis, the board lays off teachers, cuts Maple Valley Athletic Boosters BINGO MAPLE VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA THURSDAYS... 7:00 p.m. Eorly Birds ... 6:30 p.m. 57S.Moin$tr«t bionW 726-0330 programs and does nothing to encourage the people of the district to support the schools financially. You can change that. The education of our children costs so very little in comparison to other items we pay for. Aren’t they as important as a color T.V., microwave, new car, or whatever — the, list could go on! Think of how much we spend extra as we have turned our students into fundraisers for the schools. We have them sell everything from soap to crackers and cheese. I think you will find that we spend much more for all these things than we would for a tax increase. The increase will amount to $4 per $1,000 valuation on your home. Most people will not pay any more than $50-$75. Isn’t your child worth that much? There is an old simple saying, “United We Stand — Divided We Fall”. It’s time for the people in this system to unite and tell everyone that we think our students deserve the best. Let’s have a great school! Show you care and support the school. I’ll be able to face my children and tell them that I care enough about them to pay a little more for their education. Will you? Sincerely, Ruth Hughes Wayion Jennings gives memorable performance By Steve Reid Memorial weekend cer­ tainly lived up to its name when country music superstar Wayion Jennings performed two concerts that Saturday at Sandy land Park, Nashville of the North. A cloudy Saturday mor­ ning cleared to provide a sunny backdrop for the two fine shows that Wayion presented. Joining him that afternoon was his wife, Jessi Colter, and the Kathy Ford Band from Lansing. Wayion gave the fans exactly what they came for. live renditions of the many hits that he has made famous. “Luckenback, Texas,” ‘‘Goodhearted Woman,” “Amanda,” and “Mommas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” were just some of the hits he performed during the day. A highlight of his set was singing “Happy Birthday” to his wife Jessi. The two then sang a special duet together called “Storms Never Last.” Jessi, who turned 39 the night before, did a fine job during an eight-song solo set she did prior to Wayion’s performance. In addition to her hits “I’m Not Lisa” and “What Happened to Blue Eyes,” her tunes included such songs as “Without You I Can’t Go On” and “Rock And Roll Lullaby” which was made famous by B.J. Thomas. Opening the first show was the Kathy Ford Band of Lansing. Kathy performed her single which is currently getting airplay — “Lust Ain’t Love But It’ll Do For Tonight” — and other popular country songs. Highlights of her well received short set was a four-part harmony a cappela version of Ellis’ “Love Me Tender” and “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” which featured Kathy on fiddle.

Morris residence, was the first home of Mary White's Main Cafe. She opened here in 1928, and for many years NYCRR trainmen could be seen trooping daily toward the building for tasty home-style meals prepared by Mary. Some sort of eatery seems to occupy the structure in this 1914 photo. About 10 years earlier it was opened by C. J. Schiedt as a billiard room and lunch counter. It was razed in the 1950s to make way for Fargo Service Station. and head en masse to the Was it mere coincidence or Main Cafe. The out-of-town trainmen routine scheduling that brought New York Central’s shared something in com­ “local” to a daily noon stop mon with Nashville folks. at Nashville in the 1930s? They were all part of Mary’s Astute observers of that day “family”. “I believe there was not a believe it may well have been the fabulous cooking of trainman on that line that Mary couldn’t call by his Mary White. Almost like clockwork, the first name,” observed a crew of the Grand Rapids-to- Nashville resident who Jackson run would find remembers watching the themselves in Nashville at crew trek from the depot to lunchtime, disembark from Mary’s eating establishment their puffing “iron horse”, on South Main. Born in Charlotte in 1892, Mary (Proctor)' White came in the 1920s to Nashville, where her winning ways with a skillet and a smile soon endeared her to the local populace. “During the more than quarter century she lived in Nashville she came to be one of the best loved citizens, in the town, and was widely known as a restaurant operator,” noted The Nash­ ville News at Mary’s death in May 1956. Mary had only one im­ mediate survivor, a brother in Lansing, but she left to mourn her passing a large family of friends representing a wide cross­ section of the local com­ munity. “Mary had a heart as big as all get-out,” recalled her first cousin once-removed, Mrs. Douglas (Wilma Fuller) DeCamp of Nash­ ville. “She was a very sweet lady; everybody liked her.” Her pet dog, Jill, was a constant companion to Wilma remembered her as Mary, following her to work every morning. The faithful “Aunt” Mary, though she canine is remembered by youths of that era, who also was actually a first cousin to recall the warm welcome and hearty meals they Mrs. DeCamp’s mother, the received at Mary's t>lace. With her in this photo is late Mrs. Fred (Sadie Florence Dawson Howell (left), a longtime employee McGinnes) Fuller of Maple who with her husband Ransom, later bought the Grove Township. business after its relocation on North Main. Mrs. “Mother and Mary were Howell died four months later. Mary continued to very close, almost like cook and serve meals in her home for boarders as sisters,” recalled Wilma’s well as the public. sister, Mrs. Vern (Alice) (Mary White photos loaned, courtesy Guy Howell Marshall of Nashville. by Susan Hinckley (Author’s note: One of the most popular Memories pieces we have written since the series was launched in 1978 was the article about the late Mary White, whose culinary skills and caring ways endeared her to Nash­ ville area folks - some 50 years ago. The following account first appeared in this column on November 14, 1979. We hope our readers enjoy it just as much the second time around.) Renovation in 1941 by Mary White converted the old Seth I. Zemer hardware store at Main and Maple Streets into the second location of the Main Cafe, which for almost a year was Nashville's only public eating place. Ill health prompted Mary to sell the restaurant to the Ransom Howells in 1943, but Florence died soon thereafter. Since that time the business has been operated by a succession of owners, and is now Agnes’ Korner Kitchen. In this 1960s photo it was Foote's Cafe. “We felt as though she was more of an aunt to us than a cousin,” explained Mrs. Marshall, who recalled Mary as a “marvelous ’L person. “Aunt Mary was a won­ derful cook,” remembers Mrs. Lawrence (Mary) Jarrard ofNashville, a sister of Wilma and Alice. “Her restaurant was always full every noon.” Mary White first made her debut in Nashville as a talented baker of fried cakes which she prepared and sold in her home at 231 South Main Street. In 1928 she opened the Main Cafe in a frame building just north of the old Dr. E. T. Morris residence which still stands on South Main. (In earlier years, the cafe housed C. J. Scheldt’s billiard hall and lunch counter.) Featuring home cooking and specializing in Sunday chicken dinners, Mary soon built up a fine trade. “Mary’s place was THE restaurant in town, as far as eats go,” recalled Dick Mason of Nashville, whose great-aunt, the late Elsie Tarbell, worked at the Main Cafe a number of years. “It was good home-style food and Mary did all the cooking herself, not just supervising others.” Mason recounted the story of a traveling salesman who was terribly disappointed when he came through town several years later and could not locate Mary’s cafe. Looking forward to Mary White’s fine cooking had been the highlight of his regular route through the Nashville area. Salesmen, trainmen, rural folks, and village residents from all walks of life — even schoolchildren — found irresistible appeal in the warmth of Mary’s hospitality and her bountiful portions of home-style food. “I ate lunch at Aunt Mary’s restaurant every day when I was in high school,” recalled Mrs. Jarrard. Children always were welcome at the Main Cafe, remembers a local resident who still reminisces about Mary’s hearty hot beef sandwiches served with mashed potatoes and gravy, along with a tall glass of milk —all for 35 cents in the 1930s. The quality and quantity of Mary White’s menu still evokes praise today. Youngsters of the ’30s era also are apt to recall Mary’s constant companion, a large black dog she called “Jill”. The faithful canine ac­ companied Mary daily to the restaurant. After 13 years in the South Main location, Mary moved her cafe in 1941 to the nor­ theast corner of the Main and Maple intersection. There she took over the old Seth Zemer hardware store which had sat empty several years following the owner’s death, refurbished the building and converted it into a spacious restaurant that today houses Agnes’ Korner Kitchen. For almost a year, Mary’s new Main Cafe was Nashville’s only public eating place,, it is recalled. But, sadly, Mary’s health was gradually failing. A diabetic, she was slowly losing vision. In 1943, Mary sold the restaurant to Ransom and Florence Dawson Howell. Fondly known to many as “Alabama”, and a 12-year employee at the Main Cafe, Mrs. Howell died only four months after taking over the operation. The restaurant then passed to a succession of owners. Though no longer connected with the cafe, Mary could not retire from her lifelong career of cooking and caring for others. “If anyone came to her hungry,” commented Mrs. DeCamp, “Aunt Mary wouldn’t let them get away without feeding them.” After a summer’s work as a housekeeper at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Mary resumed serving meals and catering private parties in her home in Nash­ ville, in addition to keeping roomers. Often her boarders were schoolteachers, new in town and without local roots. Mary loved mothering the young folks who lived under her roof. She also continued to serve Sunday chicken dinner at her home, recalled Dick Mason. “They were open to the public, with SQft of an in­ formal reservation system so she would know how much to prepare.” Trainmen also found their way to Mary’s home table from the nearby railroad depot. For 20 more years, Mary continued to care for her community “family”, even as her health gradually declined. At the end, Mary was critically ill less than a week before she succumbed. Though she had virtually no family to call her own, Mary was widely mourned and sadly missed by a community that truly loved the lady with the big heart. Today, in Nashville, Mary White’s name still is synonymous with hearty food, hospitality and home. Those kinds of memories would please Mary most of all. A lovely lady with a big heart was Mary White, who came to Nashville in the 1920s from Charlotte. Fried cakes prepared and sold at her South Main St. home launched Mary's lifelong food service career here. Her winning ways with a skillet and a smile soon won her many devoted fans. Mary cooked for Girl Scouts at Camp Innissfree near Detroit prior to her Nashville days. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, June 5, 1984 — Page 5 Obituaries Gladys D.

Bill Mason from Ver­ montville Lions Club talked about the Lions Club All State Band that is made up of top students from the entire state, who perform yearly at the International Lions Club Convention. He urged the band students to give this some thought as they would have to pay some of the expense to travel to Dallas next year after try outs in St. Johns, Mich. Nancy Carl gave a visual presentation of what the band program means to our community. The finished product was presented to Mr. Thatcher to remind him of all the support he has within the band parents and the community. The election of new of­ ficers took place with Diane Haeck as vice-president replacing Karla Hale and Sue Brenton as treasurer replacing Norma Woodbury. Jerry Terpening as president, Judy Terpening as secretary, Nancy Carl as assistant secretary, Diana Williams as publicity chairman and Don and Loretta Pixley as advisors agreed to remain in office. The next meeting of the band boosters is Thursday, June 14. Mr. Thatcher gave certificates to the Maplewood and Kellogg sixth grade band students for their participation in the band program. The students of the junior high band received cer­ tificates for participation in the band program for the year.

They also will have to decide on a second proposed increase of .5 mills (50-cents on each $1,000 SEV) for a period of two years for ex­ tracurricular programs. “Our district has been experiencing rising costs like other school districts during the past year,” noted Superintendent Car roll J. Wolff. “The school district is operating presently at a deficit, and it will be necessary to make program adjustments unless ad­ ditional dollars are made available at Maple Valley.” The current levy for the district is 25.01 mills for operational purposes and 1.20 mills for debt retirement. “Maple Valley has one of the lowest millage rates in Michigan, plus having one of the lowest general fund expenditures per student,” points out Wolff. “The state average this year for operational millage is in excess of thirty-one mills.” He explained that the State Aid Act is written on the concept of a state-local sharing of costs for education. This current year, school districts received $9 per mill plus $328 per student. “The only way that a school district may actually obtain more dollars for education is through in­ creasing the millage rate for operational purposes under the current state aid program.” The state currently pays $903.42 per student at Maple Valley and the local district property tax income is $900.16 per student. Noted Wolff: “It is apparent that for every dollar paid locally, the state presently will pay approximately $1 also to help educate Maple Valley students.” The second proposal of one-half mill for extracurricular programs would help offset costs of supporting present activities, plus restoring others. “Maple Valley students have been making a donation to play on various athletic teams, which is not the case in most school districts,” commented Wolff. “The athletic boosters and band boosters have been doing an outstanding job of sup­ porting these programs, and it is certain that additional dollars will be necessary in the future to support such programs.” Cancer Benefit SOFTBALL TOURNEY From our readers— JUNE 23 & 24,1984 To Maple Valley News: Thank you very much for allowing us to keep our scouts in the “news”.

Running close for secondplace honors was the oldest male graduate present: Harry Nesman of Nashville Class of 1915. He was ac­ companied by his brother Carl, NHS 1917. Both men reside in Lansing. Over 230 persons were present for the dinner event held in the cafeteria at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. After enjoying a swiss steak meal prepared by school cooks and served by MV cheerleaders, the audience, was entertained with a lively performance by the Maple Valley Jazz Band led 'by Duane Thatcher. Before the evening ended the alumni association voted to donate $300 to the jazz band, which has earned rave reviews for its per­ formances. During the alumni show Thatcher had told how the young musicians have raised funds to finance purchase of in­ struments and operation of the band. Association President Eugene Fisher of Ver­ montville acted as emcee at the dinner program, and extended the official welcome to the Class of 1984. Vermontville's Class of 1934 had 17 members. Sixteen are still surviving and all of them were present for a 50-year reunion last week. Friday evening the group had dinner at a Charlotte restaurant, then Saturday met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Siple before attending the alumni banquet together.

The athletic boosters have agreed to eliminate the athlete’s donation if we get this added revenue. We would also cut back on fundraising projects. However, Thursday night bingo must remain as a source of funds and such events as the Maple Syrup Festival provide a relatively quick gain of money. This past festival brought in $918 from the pancake breakfast, $713 from the hot dog stand and $512 from the newly constructed dunking booth. We in boosters have been thanking Tom Joostbems for years, so it should come as no surprise that we owe him another “thank you”. Tom and Doug Gardner, Bruce Kraai, Bob Franks and Bill Flower built a blue and white dunk' booth with materials donated by Mike Barton, Bill Flower and Tom Joostberns. An additional $160 worth of materials was purchased. This booth can bring in money for years to come by renting it out to other organizations, too. Thanks, guys, for this great money maker!!

June 5,1984 — Page 14 Maple Valley Lions capture district baseball crown The fourth-ranked Maple Valley Lions knocked off second rated and defending Class C state champion DeWitt to win the state district baseball tournament held in Vermontville on Saturday. The win advances the Lions (18-3) to the regional held at Calvin Christian High School in Grandville near Grand Rapids this Saturday. Maple Valley will play Montague (22-4) beginning at 10 a.m. In the second game, Morley Stanwood will play Calvin Christian beginning at noon. The championship game is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. Junior Greg Lenz ran his record to 10-0 with a four hit masterpiece against DeWitt in the district championship game. Behind a superb defense, Lenz struck out six and walked four. The only run scored by DeWitt came on a third inning solo home run by Tom Deak. DeWitt (24-4) threatened in the second inning as Dave Molbter lead off the inning with a double only to have Lenz strike out the next three hitters. In the fourth, Lenz walked two straight hitters after two were out but got pitcher Tim Miller to ground out to end the inning. The last threat came in the sixth with two out. Scott Maiers singled and stole second. Lenz got Joe Johnston to fly out to rightfielder Scott Whitmore.

STATE LICENSE NO. 1612 �Graduation, from front Myers told his classmates that school had been a time of “pacing ourselves for the long road ahead,” while Potter’s address was based on tthe philosophy expressed in Rudyard Kipling’s “If”. Eighty-nine seniors were awarded, diplomas, according to the official count given Sunday by Principal Burr Hartenburg, although more than that number may have participated in the graduation ceremony following a decision made Saturday night by the Maple Valley Board of Education. At that special session, the board agreed to allow seniors lacking up to one full credit of the required 16 to participate in commencement even though they would notreceive bona fide diplomas. School boardofficials said Sunday that the move, op- posed by some faculty members, was simply reinstatement of a policy that has been followed the past 20 years at Maple Valley. Saturday’s action amended a resolution adopted by the board in May 1983 intended for enactment this year, that only those seniors meeting full credit requirement be allowed to participate in com­ mencement. The board members said they will conduct a study to determine how the matter should be handled in the future. They noted that several seniors lost a half­ credit in one test last week, after individual graduation invitations and arrangements, had been made. The Class of 1984 listed on the commencement program is as follows: David Albert, Sheila J. Alexander, Scott Alldaffer, Justina Marie Antcliff, Patrick K.

Defeated 431-330 was an operational millage measure calling for a 3.5 mill hike in 1984 and raising to 4.5 mills in 1985. Superintendent Carroll Wolff said program ad­ justments will be necessary in the wake of that defeat but could not say, Monday, what cuts would be made. He said that the board will discuss the matter at a special meeting Wednesday evening. Also rejected by Maple Valley voters was a proposal of a .5 mill increase for a period two years to finance extracurricular activities. The millage would have helped to offset costs of supporting present activities plus restoring others. Maple Valley students now make a donation to play on various athletic teams and the community has both band booster and athletic booster organizations that are active in raising funds for extracurricular programs. In the school board elec­ tion, voters chose incumbent Ronald J. Tobias of 391 N. Clark Rd., Nashville, by a margin of 389-345 over James Bryan of 3998 Morgan Rd., Nashville. There were 27 spoiled ballots in the candidate race and five each in the millage proposal. Single write-in votes were received by five individuals, John Rathburn and Chuck Marine, both of Ver­ montville, Mabel Erwin, Alvin Butler and George Hubka, all of Nashville. Maple Valley Right-To-Life group meeting Next Tuesday, June 19th at 7 p.m. will be the next meeting of the Maple Valley Right to Life Group at Nash­ ville Community building. The public is invited to at­ tend to lend moral support and get involved in this endeavor to save innocent lives.

The day before her June 1st birthday, Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville was surprised with a special outing by her neighbor, Mrs. Marilyn Irish. First the ladies drove to Marshall to shop, then visited the Tri­ Lake campground where Mr. and Mrs. Irish have their trailer at Fish Lake, and later enjoyed lunch at LaVerne and Shirley’s Second Story restaurant and lounge overlooking Mar­ shall’s golf course. En route home the two stopped at Cornwell Turkey Farm for fresh strawberry sundaes. Services were conducted Thursday at Vogt Funeral Home for former local resident, Mrs. Gilbert (Ada Noyes) Dickinson, who died June 4th at Tampa, Florida. She had frequently written us with comments about the Memories series, expressing her appreciation for the Maple Valley News, and saying how much she en­ joyed reading it each week. Ada’s photo had appeared in a couple of our early Memories stories. She was with Nashville’s Class of 1920 pictiired in an article published in January 1979, and was also among the pupils of Feighner rural school in a photo taken in 1910 and printed in Memories in April 1980. Both times she wrote to offer help in naming those students whom we had listed as unidentified. Mrs.. Dickinson also expressed special interest in our Memories piece on the local Home Guard, for her late husband once was a member of the World War I militia group. Ada wrote of how much she would like to return to Michigan for a visit, but said it would be difficult since she was in a wheelchair much of the time due to arthritis in her knees. We greatly regret that we never had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Dickinson and chat with her about Nash­ ville’s early days. Lessons on golfing and on floral arrangments will be offered in a two-hour Saturday session, starting at 10 a.m. June 16, as partof the Ladies’ Enrichment series at By Susan Hinckley Nashville Baptist Church. Jerry and Terri Fager will have charge of the golf in­ structions on the Baptist ballfield on Sherman Street. The flower arranging will be taught by Dema Wright at the church. An American Red Cross blood drive will be conducted in Nashville on Wednesday, June 20, from 1 to 6:45 p.m. at the United Methodist Community House. Carleen Overholt is chairperson of the campaign. The P.F.C. ladies’ missionary group will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 14, at Nashville Baptist Church. Former local residents Jeff and Rae (Hosey) Murphy and daughters Kathryn, Cassady and Aubrey, are moving back to Nashville and will reside in the former Nancy Higdon Smith home at the corner of State and Sherman streets. Mrs. Guy (Florence) Howell of Tucson, Arizona, whom several here met during the Howell’s visit here last summer, is recovering beautifully from kidney surgery last month. “She is doing fine and says she feels better than she has in years,” wrote her husband in a letter last week. He is a former local resident who returned here last summer for the first time in 40 years, and enjoyed visiting all his old boyhood haunts. Last week’s mail also brought a new Memories manuscript from Howell, filled with entertaining stories of his growing-up years here. It will appear soon in in­ stallments in the Memories of the Past column. Several articles contributed earlier by Howell made a big hit with our readers. Nashville Baptist Church will conduct a service at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 12, at Lansing City Rescue Mission.

As near as we could determine, the first such event in Nash­ ville was held on May 20, 1954, just a week before high school commencement. The kindergarteners’ program held at the high school (now Kellogg School) gymnasium has all the earmarks of a senior Frequently multiple family members became kinder­ garten graduates over a period of years, all as students of Mrs. Mater. In this rather unusual photo taken in 1958 the beloved teacher is pictured with the Hummel children, siblings who, each in turn, graduated under her tutelage: from left, Sally Jean, in 1955; Crystal, 1957; Danny, 1954, and Stewart Hummel, 1958. Morning and afternoon kindergarten sessions joined together for graduation ceremonies at Nashville in the 1950s. With caps, gowns, high school band music, and visiting guest speakers, kindergarten commencement was nearly as elegant an event as the traditional cere­ mony for seniors. Pictured here are the morning session tots who graduated in 1956.

Corwin Beibighauser of the United Brethren Church offered the invocation and benediction; Judge Archie A. McDonald of Hastings was guest speaker, and diplomas were presented to the tots by school board trustee Albert Bell. The only indication that it was not senior graduation came in such program en­ tries as a Rhythm Dance by Donald Duck, a Singing Game of Jump Jim Crow; and a performance of School Room Clock and Bouncing Ball by a rhythm band. According to the official program roster, 67 kindergarteners received diplomas in 1954. Kindergarten com­ mencements with style continued throughout the 50s and into the 60s under the able direction of Mrs. Mater, a local native who graduated from Nashville High in 1914 and later acquired her higher education at what now is Western Michigan University. Most of her teaching years were spent in the local elementary schools. Although kindergarten graduation is still conducted in the Maple Valley system, it is not as grand an affair as Mrs. Mater arranged in the days when parents of today’s tots were tots themselves.

From May 10 through May 23, the Maple Valley Vo Ag Department, in conjunction with the Maple Valley FFA, conducted tractor driver training and a tractor driving contest May 21, 22, 23 during Vo Ag classes. Students spent two weeks prior to driving learning vocabulary, procedures, and safety associated with driving tractors. Students between the ages of 14 and 16 years old, upon completion of the course, are eligible to legally drive tractors for a person other than their parents. Upon passing'of the tractor driving program, a certificate is awarded to each tractor driver trainee. The two tractors and manure spreader were on loan from area equipment dealers: the John Deere 2040 diesel from Wertz and Company, Charlotte, and the Ford 4610 diesel with New Holland 513 manure spreader from Maple Valley Implement, Nashville. Also, a four-wheel wagon was on loan from Tom Taylor. Students were assisted by Rob Schwalm, Vo Ag in­ structor, and observed at all times during the instruction and the enduing Tractor Driving Contest. “This activity is the basic core of agriculture. Farm equipment and the safe operation of it is important to farm and non-farm people alike. The students are enthusiastic and many have never driven or backed up a tractor before,” said Sch­ walm. The ‘two wheel’ event during competition is the same course driven during practice. A series of posts set in three quart cans filled with sand and concrete are arranged in rows six inches wider on each side than the width of the spreader tires. Students must try not to hit the posts or knock off the golf ball sitting on top of each post. The tractor starts from a shed (made up of five posts perpendicular to the course).

For tiie event each of Mr'. Hustwick’s pupils thoroughly researched a Latin American Country and prepared artwork, maps and other visual aids to ac­ company a written report on his or her assigned nation. The students are required to write a paper and draw a large map of the particular Latin American country he or she is researching. Beyond that the youngsters were free to devote as much extra effort as they wished to the project. Some fashioned three deminsional maps for display, and others drew posters depicting the history, commerce, arts and crafts, etc., of their assigned country. The exhibits Thursdays were viewed by other fifth and sixth grade students at Kellogg; fourth graders from Fuller Street School, parents, school officials and other guests. Latin American Day is part of Hustwick’s Social Studies program. In addition to the knowledge garnered by his students, the project benefits the other middle elementary students who are invited to ask questions as they view the displays, to test the exhibitor’s memories on the population, size, and other pertinent data of their assigned countries. The challenge of being questioned by their peers adds a certain ex­ citement to the day for the fifth graders. Ryan Rosin was one of three 5th graders in the class of David Hustwick who covered two Latin American countries for the annual project which is becoming a a tradition at Kellogg School. Here, Ryan shows a drawing he prepared of Christopher Columbus, who is credited with discovering both Grenada and Jamaica - countries Ryan researched for the exhibit. Nashville Boy Scouts backpack South Manitou Island Beyond their assignment of preparing a written report and drawing a large wall map of their assigned country:, some of the students did extra work to add to their individual displays. Lisa Long used a salt and flour mixture to construct relief maps of the South American continent and her chosen country of Argen­ tina. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) Eight Boy Scouts from Nashville’s Troop 176 were in for a special experience when they qualified for a backpacking trip to South Manitou Island. Scoutmaster Ed Boldrey proposed the trip in January as a challenge to the boys. Anyone attaining the rank of second class or above would qualify for the trip. The group of 11 (the eight scouts plus three adult leaders) left Friday, June 8, to begin the trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes where they spent Friday night. Then Saturday morning, after breakfast, the group traveled to Leland to board the ferry to the island. South Manitou Island is a one-and-a-half hour ferry trip from Leland. A Chip­ pewa Indian legend tells of a mother bear and her two cubs who fled a forest fire in Wisconsin by swimming across Lake Michigan. The mother bear reached the Michigan shore and climbed a steep bluff to await her cubs. The cubs, exhausted by their long swim, never reached land. The mother bear waited, day after day, to no avail. Finally, she died. The Great Spirit Manitou marked the mother’s resting place with a mound of sand called the Sleeping Bear Dune. He created the Manitou Islands on the spot where the cubs perished. While on the island, the scouts backpacked three miles to their campsite at the Weather Station Cam­ pground. They were able to visit the lighthouse, view the gull rookery, the giant cedars and the dunes. Much ttime was spent simply exploring the island. The boys also completed some in exercises survival techniques, astrology, environmental science, nature study and a scavenger hunt.

Jeri Baker received a Certificate for Outstanding Service. Retiring leader Donna Wyskowski was given a gift certificate and Wendy Wright, her assistant leader, who is also leaving to raise a growing family, was given a pink baby dress for her new baby daughter — to be ex­ changed for brown as she grows up to become a future Brownie. These super leaders also helped the girls in their troops through a very active and successful year. Girls were given honors and badges during the Awards Night Banquet held May 18 at Maplewood Elementary. Almost 100 family members attended the potluck supper to watch their daughters receive her recognitions. Troop 244, the first-grade Brownies, closed the year with a very surprise baby shower for assistant leader Wendy Wright, complete with fun, games and gifts for baby. Members of the troop are Allison Burpee, Teresa Aiken, Dana Hasselback, Robin Hale, and Brandy Kathy Othmer, troop leader for Junior Girl Scouts in Vermontville, was voted this year’s recipient of the Green Angel patch by other area leaders and registered adults. Kathy’s outstanding ef­ forts with her troop, her patience and understanding, and her willingness to help others are some of the fine qualities that brought her this well-deserved patch. The patch was given during the annual Green Angel Awards Banquet held in Lansing at Casa Nova to honor adults working in Girl Scouts. Vermontville has 15 active registered adults this year, holding positions as leaders, assistant leaders, cookie chairman, school organizer, service unit team members, and service unit director. Honors and recognitions were given at both the local awards night and at the Green Angel Area 14 Awards Banquet. All local troop leaders and assistant leaders were given a Girl Scout logo sun cat­ cher. Cookie Chairman Yulanda McClure was given Wawiernia. The Brownies each received a membership star, the first of three national patches and also earned Bee A Brownie, Bee a Friendmaker-Community, Bee a Friendmaker-Home and Bee A Readyhelper­ Home. Teresa Aiken had perfect attendance for the year. Each girl received a Brownie T-shirt purchased with the prize money won in float competition at the Maple Syrup Festival. The troop gave Mr. and Mrs. Wawiernia a bag of mixed nuts, Joyce Rathburn a bag of nuts and Mr. and Mrs. Aiken a belt buckle and a Girl Scout stickpin for helping during the year. Many thanks go to Jamie Wright for all his help. There were also flowers for each girl’s mom and a wicker picnic basket for troop leader Donna Wyskowski.

June 26. 1984 John and Mary Rodriguez's land designated as Centennial Farm by Susan Hinckley The property of John and Mary (Kroger) Rodriguez at 401 W. Main Street, Ver­ montville, recently was named a Michigan Cen­ tennial Farm. The designation is given to properties owned by the same family for over 100 years and is granted by the state Historical Commission. Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez have received one of the special green-and-yellow markers showing the official designation, and soon will install it in the front yard of their home. The signs are provided by Consumers Power Company. Christian J. Kroger, a great-grandfather to Mary,* bought the 37-acre parcel in October, 1882, settling on it with his wife. The couple moved to Vermontville from Dearborn, and Mary is unsure what led them to Eaton County. “Christian came (to America) from Germany when he was 17 years old,” said Mary. “He settled first in Dearborn.” The old Kroger home still stands two doors east of the modern ranch-style home that John and Mary built in 1957. Between the two dwellings stands another vintage home: a house that was a tenant residence on the old Kroger farm. Both older homes have since been sold off to other parties outside the family. The Kroger land passed from Christian to his son Frank, and subsequently to Frank’s son Fred. The latter, however, did not live on the land as an adult. He married the former Ava Tubbs and moved a few blocks east to the old Tubbs family home at 130 W. Main, where his widow still resides. Fred’s sister, Frances, who never married, con­ tinued to live in the old Kroger family home. When she died in 1966 the land Jerry Lee Lewis "shakes" Sandyland “Whole Lot of Shakin’ Goin’ On” certainly could have been the theme of Jerry Lee Lewis’ concert Sunday at Nashville of the North, Sandyland Park. .Many of the nearly 2,000 fans in attendance were on their feet at one time or another, dancing to a fast­ paced set by the man nicknamed “The Killer" for his piano expertise. Lewis didn’t talk much during his time on stage choosing instead to let his music do the talking. The high point of his well- Lewis entertained the crowd with classics and a song that has not been released yet. (Maple Valley News photos) received show came during consecutive renditions of the three classic hits “Chantilly Lace,” “Great Balls of Fire,” and “Whole Lot of Shakin’ Goin’ On.” Jerry Lee closed the evening by performing an unreleased song, “It’s All Too Ugly Tonight.’ and the gospel favorite “I Saw The Light.” Lewis was backed by Kenny Lovelace and the All­ Star Band who did a fine job filling out the rockabilly sound which has again become so popular. Especially outstanding was reknown session guitarist James Burden who once toured with the late Elvis Presley. Those in attendance were also enthusiastic in their appreciation of opening groups Linke and McCants who blended their bluegrass­ comedy-country tunes in fine fashion and the Jack and Jacki Band whose strong vocal talents and musicianship enhanced many popular country songs. Coming to Sandyland Park on July 8 will be the star of television’s Hee Haw, Roy Clark, who will present two shows. Jerry Lee Lewis had fans dancing at Sandyland Park. John and Mary (Kroger) Rodriguez, owners of Johnny's Market in Vermontville, soon will install this sign on their residential property at 401 W. Main Street, Vermontville, to show that it has received a Centennial designation from the Michigan Historical Commission. Mary's great-grandfather, Christian J. Kroger, settled the land in 1882 and members of the family have owned and lived on the property continuously since that time.. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) passed to John and Mary. Mrs. Rodriguez remem­ bers that until his death in the mid-1940s their great­ uncle Will Kroger, a brother to her grandfather, lived in the tenant house. “There’s always been a Kroger living on the land,” she noted. Frank Kroger, Mary’s grandfather, died in the 1940s, as did her father, Fred. “All three (Will, Frank and Fred) died within three years of each other,” recalls Mary. Crops produced on the family farm from its earliest days were corn, potatoes, and maple syrup? Three generations were farmers. Mary believes that all of them, from her greatgrandfather on down, produced syrup. . “My grandfather used to take it to Detroit to sell,” she added. An old sign found recently on the property showed that in about the 1920s he was geting $1.50 for a gallon of maple syrup. Mary’s father was a full­ time farmer, and was also active in civic service, especially on the local school board. “They all were interested in community affairs,” said Mary of her Kroger an­ cestors. John and Mary have four sons: Fred and Greg of Vermontville, Randy and Doug of Lansing, and two grandchildren, so they have reason to hope that descendants of the Krogers will continue to live on the land in years to come. No doubt Christian Kroger would have been pleased to see an event that took place last August on the family land, when Greg Rodriguez and Kimberly Myers were united in marriage on the property. The wedding with over 200 guests was staged in the spacious backyard of the Rodriguez home, overlooking fields that Christian once plowed.

The group left Friday for Barryton, where they stayed at a camp owned by Sue’s family, and returned home Sunday. They report lovely weather and a very good time. The official arrival of summer last Thursday was mostly symbolic in this region, as residents had already been enjoying August-like days for several weeks. Sunday, sunny and breezy with temps in the low 70s brought some relief from the sultry weather, but no relief is in sight for the “drought” which has plagued the local vicinity.

Environmental improvements or protective measures can often minimize harmful exposure of pollution to the water, air, and land,” said John Long, MEHA’s president. Long, a Nashville High School graduate and resident, was elected president by the MEHA’s 500 membership in March, 1984.

Wagner delivered his first sermon to the local congregation on Father’s Day, June 17. A compromise hammered out by legislative leaders Thursday will mean $183 million in tax relief for Michigan citizens and more money for state schools, an area lawmaker said today. State Representative Ernest W. Nash (RDimondale) said that he is pleased with the agreement by legislative leaders to roll back the state’s 6.1 percent income tax rate to 5.35 percent by Sept. 1. “By dropping the income tax one month sooner than the governor wanted we will save Michigan taxpayers a total of $183 millions,” Nash said. “And the tentative compromise also has a plan to reduce the income tax rate to 4.6 percent on Oct. 1, 1987. Until now there was no date set to lower the tax to the level in effect before the 1983 increase.” Nash said the 1984-85 budget will now include a net increase of $43.5 million for the state’s K-12 schools and $12 million for higher education which “reflects the Republican commitment to better fund our state’s schools.” While not totally satisfied with the comprise, Nash said the tax rollback plan is a victory for Michigan tax­ payers and for lawmakers who have long cried that the initial tax increase was “too much for too long.” “House Republicans did not receive everything Phone 945-9554 for ActionAds! wanted in the compromise, but everyone involved in the process gave up something and the result was reduced taxes and a more realistic budget for the people of our state,” Nash said. “The plan still has a long way to go. The House, the Senate, and the governor must all approve before it becomes a reality. But at least we’ve broken the deadlock on these important tax and budget issues.” Maple Valley Class of 1979 5-Year REUNION July 21,1984 7:30 p.m. - 2:00 a.m. Music by ... “PARTY DOWN VFW HALL — Nashville RESERVATIONS: *5.00 per person Call (616) 367-4673 It's Smooth Sailing Ahead When You Open a NOW Account at Eaton Federal Savings and Loan Association Our NOW Accounts offer all the benefits and conveniences of total checking account services ..

June 26, 1984 — Page 4 Memories of the pas by Susan Hinckley This week in Nashville History by Susan Hinckley (Today's column looks at this week in Nashville’s past. The following excerpts are gleaned from the Nashville Ancient History column published in The Nashville News from near the turn of the century into the 1930s; from the Turning Back the Pages feature of the 1940s'60s; and from various early issues of The News.) 1874.. . E. R. White has rented Truman’s new brick to hold his bowery dance in on the Fourth. 1876.. . George Truman has the largest stock of fireworks in town, including a batch of giant crackers that set some mothers to shivering, just to walk by and see them displayed in the window. 1880.. . This village was in a stir of excitement Tuesday afternoon, over the case of Widow —, who suffers from temporary fits of insanity. A common symptom of these fits is to remove her clothes and parade downtown nude, and it was one of these pilgrimages that so upset the village this week. Nobody wishing to take a hand, Sheriff Houghtaling was called, but several women neighbors had persuaded the unfortunate middle-aged widow to return home before the sheriff arrived on the scene. No charges were placed against her, but there is talk of having her removed to te the state asylum. asyum. 1881.. . The annual school meeting occurs next Monday evening, and one important subject to be brought up will be the matter of building a new school. This is a matter that has been turned down by the voters twice, and financial and social interests now demand action. (The proposal failed.) 1882.. . A high wind prevailed on Sunday from 11 until 6 p.m. and rubbish filled the air. Many people trembled for fear that a cyclone would swoop down upon fair Nashville, but they were happily relieved from their fears when night came on and the wind went down. Truly it was a hary sort of day, yet wrecked shade trees is the only damage reported. 1888.. . Heaven be praised! A new footbridge is being built across Quaker Brook on South Main Street, and the Southsiders are preparing to hold a ratification meeting over the mammoth en­ terprise as soon as it is completed. 1889.. . On Friday evening last, at the opera house, occurred the third annual commencement exercises of the Nashville school. The graduating class was composed of Messrs. Bert Reynolds, Adrian Carter and Ward Gribbin, and Misses Minnie Durham, Winnie Downs, Lida Feighner and Jennie Mills. Bikes were an important i mode of transportation back in 1899, the year local entrepreneur Joseph C. Hurd was renting "high grade wheels" at 45 cents for the first two hours and 10 cents for each additional in a studio hoto b hour. Seen with cycles of that era in p y E. H. VanNocker are Al Weber, left, and an unident­ ified friend. An employee of The Nashville News, Weber later became publisher of the weekly Observer of Cheyboygan. His brother Frank, who also worked at The News, later owned the Montmorency County Tribune and the Rome City News. 1890.. . James Fleming has written to the department headquarr ters to have the weather signal service discontinued at this station for a couple of months as he is desirous of learning whether they are appreciated by the public or not. 1898.. . A. C. Buxton’s manufactory is the busiest place in town. Right now he is turning out four mammoth felt boot hardening machines for the Chicago Curled Hair and Felting Co. 1899.. . J. C. Hurd is renting high grade wheels at 45 cents for the first two hours arid 10 cents for each additional hour. 1901.. . There was an at­ tendance of 84 at the annual alumni banquet at the high school Friday evening. Edward Smith was elected as president for next year and Von W. Furniss was chosen as toastmaster for next year’s banquet. 1903.. . Dr. W. A. Vance, our new dentist, arrived in town this week and is fitting up quarters in the Mallory block. He and his wife are living in the H. E. Downing house at the corner of Middle and Green streets. 1904.. . The council has approved and passed the anti-spitting ordinance, effective June 20... Persons convicted of spitting on the sidewalks anywhere within the corporation are subject to a fine not to exceed five dollars, plus costs of prosecution, or up to 20 days in the county jail, or both fine and imprisonment. 1905.. . A moving picture show, giving “The Western Bandit” as a main feature, has been holding forth in a tent south ofthe Union House the past week. 1906.. . nearly half a hun­ dred Nashville residents took the train to Jackson last Tuesday to attend Ringling Bros.’ Circus. 1907.. . There was probably more fish taken out of Thornapple Lake Sunday than on any day previous in a long time. The excursion train took in a great many people and the lake was alive with fishermen. One ma,, caught and sold nearly ten dollars worth of bluegills. Some nice bass and pickeral were landed. 1911.. . Of late there seems to be considerable window peeking going on in different parts of the village. Saturday evening a certain party was caught in the act, but as there is no ordinance in the village against this, no warrant could be served. Most of the towns, villages and cities have ordinances of this kind and there is no reason why Nashville shouldn’t have. It would put a stop to some of this mixing in other people’s affairs. A good dose of shot properly placed is none too good for such people. 1912.. . Ignorance of the law relative to rpad courtesy is quite apt jo cause con­ siderable trouble or damage. If you are driving along the road and someone ovetakes you, you are expected to turn to the right and give half of the road, no matter whether the passing vehicle be an automobile or a buggy. This is the state law, the violation of Which will render you liable for any damage in­ curred in passing. 1924.. . The Hunt Stock Company will open a week’s engagement here Monday night, following a week’s quarantine on all tent shows on account of the smallpox epidemic. 1925.. . The Nashville ball team continued its winning streak Sunday by defeating Sunfield 5 to 2 at that place. Martin occupied the mound for Nashville and Stewart did the pitching for Sunfield, and honors were as nearly even as they possibly could be, each twirler registering nine strike-outs and issuing three passes. 1926.. . Contracts are being let for graveling of Highway M-79, from the Nashville village limits, to a point 12 miles south, to the BarryCalhoun county line, the road to consist of two-course gravel, 16 feet wide. 1928.. . Sheriff George Leonard and his deputies arrested seven persons during the last week for having liquor in their possession. Two stills were destroyed near Hastings. 1930.. . Quite a bit of ex­ citement resulted from the forced landing of an airplane in Jesse Garlinger’s hay field yesterday, and a number of people drove out from town to see it. The pilot, from Napoleon, Ohio, said he was lost. After receiving directions for getting to Battle Creek, he and his companion took off in that direction. 1931.. . On July 6, voters of Nashville will decide whether or not to bond the village for up to $7,000 to <uidernize the obsolete and unapproved municipal water system. The present system utilizes river water, which the state health department has pronounced a health hazard. (In the July 6election, the proposal was defeated 113-64.) 1932.. . Mrs. Roy Brumm of Nashville was elected president of Barry County Farm Bureau at their annual meeting held recently. She is the first woman to be elected president of any county farm bureau of Michigan and one of the very few in the United States. 1938.. . The newly located, wider and open stairway for the Barry County Osteopathic Hospital of Nashville has been com­ pleted. This called for taking out the old steep stairs and some partitions by which the upper hall is widened... More room is needed and present Fishing was great on Thornapple Lake in late June 1907. On a Sunday when an excursion train took Nash­ ville folks there for a day's outing, the lake was alive with fishermen and one man caught and sold nearly ten dollars' worth of bluegills. Rowboats stand at the ready in this unidentified turn-of-the-century photo from the Len Feighner collection. The scene is believed to be Thornapple Lake. plans call for the building of an addition to the hospital in the near future. (1984 note: The hospital was located in the present-day Arden Schantz home at the south­ westcorner of the Maple and State streets intersection.) 1944.. . Three Cole brothers, sons of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Cole, are serving in the Army, Navy and Coast Guard. They are Gerald, Robert and Max, respec­ tively. In addition, the Coles have two sons-in-law, Bud Knodt and Johnny Moore, in the service. 1948.. . Newly elected of­ ficers of the Nashville Lions Club will be installed Wednesday evening when the club meets in the Knights of Pythias hall. Dinner will be served promptly at 7:30. It had originally been planned to have a picnic on this date and Ralph V. Hess had invited the group to his summer home at Thornapple Lake. The fact that several members were busier than usual and that many want to have a short meeting in order to listen to the WalcottLewis fight and the Republican convention, resulted in a change of plans. (Among new officers to be installed was Nelson Brumm, president, replacing retiring president Richard Green.) .1951.. At the request of village officials, the Michigan State Police have agreed to help patrol Nash­ ville streets as a means of controlling speeding. Patrolling here will, of course, be irregular and probably will be mainly during hours when Village Marshal I. E. Rude is off duty. However, a squad car is liable to pop up at any time, and this irregularity of patrolling may be very ef­ fective, as habitual speeders never will known when to expect the wail of a State Police siren. George Truman has the largest stock of fireworks in town, including a batch of giant crackers that set some mothers to shivering. . . State law and road courtesy in 1912 called for motor­ ists to turn right and give half the road to an overtak-­ iing vehicle, whether it be auto or buggy. This unident­ ified area road appears too narrow for passing. At the wheel is Merrill J. Hinckley (without hat). An early local mechanic and service station operator, he often gave driving lessons to inexperienced owners of the new "horseless.carriages." �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, June 26, 1984 — Page 5 FAIR, cont. from front— New books at Putnam Public Library “America’s National Monuments and Historic Sites” by E.

Activities Troy Gibson, and Bernie planned during their stay Some pointers offered on fireworks To help dear up the annual confusion over which fireworks are legal, the Michigan State Police offer some definitions and precautions to help Fourth of July celebrants have a safe and legal holiday. The only fireworks which may be sold at the retail level and used by the general public are restricted to: toy paper caps, snakes, toy smoke devices, toy trick noise makers, wire sparklers (size no. 14 or less), flitter sparklers; and both cone and cylinder fountains. Any other fireworks are illegal for sale and use unless proper permits are obtained from the local governing body. Fireworks which send a projectile into the air, Michigan "Districts" will remain the same State Representative Ernest W. Nash (RDimondale) said that a Supreme Court ruling Tuesday on reapportionment means that lawmakers will run1 in November to represent the same districts they were elected from in 1982. ‘‘This decision ends months of confusion on the part of the people over who their representative is and who will represent them in 1984,” Nash said. “It also ensures continuity in my efforts to represent the citizens of the 56th District.” The district includes all of Eaton County. “I know my constituents have been concerned that since April 1 their representative may have changed. Tuesday’s ruling clearly states that despite this confusion every legislator represents those people who elected him or her to office in 1982,” Nash continued. “I am personally pleased with the decision, not only because it means that I will retain my constituency, but because of my belief that the legislative reapportionment plan was unconstitutional and denied the people’s right to know.” Nash explained that a suit was brought against the Oakland County Clerk and the Oakland County Board of Canvassers by five Oakland County residents. The Secretary of State and At­ torney General intervened in the suit as defendantsappellants. After the Oakland County Circuit Court ruled that the reap­ portionment statute was unconstitional, the Supreme Court took up the matter. Oral arguments were heard Friday and the unanimous ruling was handed down Tuesday. •New Construction*Service*Remodeling •Sewer and Drain Work Halsey Plumbing LARRY HALSEY Licensed Master Plumber Serving Charlotte, Vermontville, Nashville - all ofEaton County 10% Discount on Labor for Senior Citizens M EWING WELL DRILLING Your dependable drillers in Eaton & Barry Counties WATER WELL DRILLING and PUMP SERVICE OFFERING COMPLETE...

Contact them for additional information. Fire marshal officers stress that many children, and adults as well, are seriously burned or injured each year while playing with fireworks and emphasize that caution should be used. These safety precautions are suggested: Make sure the fireworks are legal for use by local ordinance and state law; Check for manufacturer’s label and instructions for use on all fireworks - illegally manufactured fireworks rarely have either; Carefully follow instructions for use; Provide adult supervision and don’t allow very young children to handle fireworks; Light only one device at a time; Ignite fireworks outdoors only and away from buildings, and combustible materials; Don’t attempt to alter or use fireworks in a manner not intended. Persons having any questions concerning the safety and legality of any fireworks are advised to contact any State Police post or their local police or fire department for assistance.

July 2, 1984 Nashville Council grants 5-year tax freeze for new Nashvilleplant by Susan Hickley After several weeks of consideration and three public hearings on the matter, the Nashville Village Council at their meeting Thursday granted an In­ dustrial Facilities Exemp­ tion Certificate to Ammond Plastics Corp, for an autoprodudts manufacturing plant at 1008 Reed Street. That move will in effect freeze property taxes on that site for five years. The Lansing-based firm proposed in April to pur- chase the former Menominee Rubber Com­ pany location (old Standard Stamping plant) to com­ mence manufacture of after­ market auto products such as vehicle window louvers, sun roofs, and RV vents. The Nashville council took the tax-freeze action under Michigan’s P.A. 198 after first designating the plant site as an Industrial Redevelopment District. Under terms of that act the council could have granted up to a 12-year freeze. At Thursday’s meeting, however, that limit was whittled down to five years, after a 10-year freeze proposal by Trustee Richard Chaffee failed by a 6-2 margin. “If it were new con­ struction we could look at ten years,” said Trustee Gerald Kent, “but you have an existing structure - that’s a different story. The general trend now (in surrounding communities) is that most are granting five years (tax freeze).” Ammond Plastics Corp, proposes to manufacture after-market auto products in the old Standard Stamping building (more recently the home of Menominee Rubber Co.) at 1008 Reed Street, Nashville. 4th of July fireworks display starts at dusk by Susan Hinckley Thanks to the generosity of merchants, business people and organizations in Nash­ ville and Vermontville, the Maple Valley community will enjoy a grand fireworks show on the fqurth of July. The evening event at Sandyland Park is open to the public at no cost. Lonny Kienutske, park owner, spearheaded the drive to collect contributions to finance the show. A professional fireworks team has been hired to detonate the pyrotechnics at the crest of Sandyland (campground area). Spectators will be kept a safe distance away in the parking lot. There will be free ad­ mission to Sandyland on July 4 for picnics, family outings, etc. After the fireworks show, a freewill offering will be taken at the exit to help defray costs of a 1985 display. The monies collected will be depositecTin a bank account in the name of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, which this year donated $500 to help pur­ chase the fireworks. The show is slated to start at dusk or about 9 p.m. The public is cordially invited to attend. Kienutske and his wife, Sue, hope that the fireworks event can be developed into an annual family affair that may be expanded to include games, contests and other traditional Independence Day activities.

Nothville Monday My 2 >984 — Pope 4 Arizona man remembers boyhood joys and traumas in Nashville by Kumr Hinckley (Note: Loat year in this column, we presented a series of articles written by Guy W. Howell of Tucson. Arizona, about his boyhood days in Nashville. Those stories, published in May and December and Illustrated with photos supplied by Howell, were such a1 hit with our readers that we encouraged him to continue his writing project. He has done this by jolting down assorted youthful reminiscences as they popped into his head from time to time. We are pleased to present this potpourri of anecdotes in a series to be continued throughout July. Howell left Michigan in 1943, and made his first return visit here last sum' mer after a 40-year absence. He found that the town hadn’t changed much, though the residents have — bul he was able to find a few old acquaintances. Throughout his adult life, Howell has lived in the South and Southwest and has had a variety of interesting jobs, including once serving as a press photographer for a New Mexico paper. Photography is still one of his hobbies, along with gardening, astronomy, and generally soaking up the culture of that area. lie and his wife, Florence, operate a bookbinding business in their home, and also are active church-goers and members of a citizen's emergency patrol team for the sheriff's department. Guy is the son of the late Ransom and Florence Howell, who moved to Nash­ ville from Alabama in 1918, when Guy was four years old. He retains many fond memories of his nearly quarter-century in the local community. Our thanks to him for sharing these thoughts.) MEMORIES by Guy W. Howell I have been jotting down items that I remembered about my days in Nashville after I had written the other two installments. These thoughts won’t be in any particular chronological order, being put down whenever I remembered them. I remember when Pennock Hospital opened in Hastings. I don’t remember the year, but I recall an incident that happened. Mother and I were looking around the hospital, and we saw a fluoroscope. “What is that?” I asked. A technician nearby told me, and then asked. “Would you like to see some of the bones in your arm?” Of course, I was thrilled at the idea, so he put the thing against my wrist and I looked. It showed through my coat sleeve, and I could see evry bone. 1 was only about 6 or 7 years old, and that seemed to me like magic. I remember one time I was down at the ball park with my brother and another fellow. My brother, Frank, had a car, a Model T, and the other fellow had a bicycle. Frank wanted his friend to go somewhere with him in the car. “But what can I do with my bicycle?” the friend objected. “Leave it with Guy,” my brother said. “It’ll be perfectly safe. He doesn’t know how to ride.” So off they went, and the wheels in my head started turning. I had been wanting to learn to ride a bike. Now was my chance. I tried to get on, and im­ mediately did a flop; so I figured that wouldn’t work. Then I saw some ruts, made by a car when the ground was soft. I got the bike into them and, after a lot of tries, managed to wobble several feet. I kept on trying until I could ride pretty well. Then I left for a real ride. When Frank and the other fellow returned, the bike and I were gone. I was riding all over and having a lot of fun. I finally went back to the ball park and found them waiting for me. “I thought you said he couldn’t ride," the fellow grumbled to Frank. “He couldn’t when we left,” Frank replied. That was the firstand last bike riding I did for quite awhile. Later I got a paper route, delivering the Grand Rapids Press, and Frank bought a bicycle for me. Things went very well until one night when I left the bike lying on the driveway. Frank went to work early in the morning and didn’t notice the bike, and that was the end of my riding. I said then that I would wear the first paint off the next bicycle I got, and a few years later, when I had a job, I sent for a brand new one. These next items are about Joseph Howell, my great grandfather, and Daniel C. Howell, my grandfather, who actually lived in Nash­ ville. My great grandfather, when he was a young man, was an apprentice carpenter (I think they called him a journeyman carpenter) in Canada, just across 4he lake from New York State, where he was born. The year was about 1811. The boss called my great grandfather one day and said, “I need some hammer handles.

We were in the assembly hall of the old Nashville High School — the one that was torn down. That room was a long one and the wastepaper basket was at the far end. I had some paper to put in it, so I got up and, with slow and measured steps, with my metal heel plates hitting the floor at every step, I made it to the wastebasket, deposited my paper, turned around and headed back. I walked very deliberately as I had going up. Mr. VanDeventer was sitting at his desk, watching me. As I neared my desk, he motioned me to come to him. “Howell,” he said, “those are nice boots you have, but they are hardly fitting in school. How about wearing some shoes from now on, that won’t make so much noise? It disturbs other students who are trying to study.” So that ended the boots in school. Another thing that happened in that same school year was as follows: The last period in the afternoon was a study period of 45 minutes. Well, I very often had my lessons pretty well caught up before that, so when the bell rang just before that period, I walked out of school and went downtown, or whatever I wanted to do. In other words, I skipped that period. Mr. VanDeventer took a dim view of such proceedings and made me stay after school for two hours, copying page after page of the World Book Encyclopedia. However, Mr. VanDeventer never looked at them. He just chucked them in the wastebasket. One afternoon I thought I would pull one on him, so I wrote one page for the front and another for the back and put sheets of paper in bet­ ween. Then I turned it in. And that time he looked at it — and doubled the assign­ ment! I reckon probably I had a guilty look. But in spite of all this, very so often I would skip, and the next afternoon I copied more encyclopedia. On October 15, the opening day of the hunting season, I left home for school as usual, but instead of going to school, I met a friend and went hunting. I had a watch, and timed it just right to get home for the noon meal, which I ate, and then set off again, supposedly for school. But actually I met my friend and we went hunting again. I usually went downtown after school, so I arrived home Continued on next page— �The Maple Valley News. Nashville.

Well, the next morning I went to school. Mr. Van­ Deventer taught the algebra class, which was the first period in the morning. He had told me before to bring an excuse from my parents explaining the absences in the last periods of the af­ ternoons. The algebra class had assembled in one of the classrooms and I was in the front row. Mr. VanDeventer came up to. my desk and said, “Howell, did you bring that excuse from your parents for your absence yesterday afternoon — uh — by the way, where were you all day yesterday?” I figured I might as well tell the truth, so I said, “I went hunting.” For a minute or two he seemed to be in deep thought. Finally, he said, “Howell, you can pack up your books and go home.” “When do you want me to come back?” I asked. He looked at me a moment, then said, “You can come back tomorrow, or next day, or next week; I don’t care if you never come back. You are suspended.” So I packed up my books and went out into the hall.

An arm of Baby Bliss, Inc. of Middleville, the Nashville plant fairly hums with the sound of sewing machines turning out a colorful line of infant clothing. The Nashville operation reopened in late April and currently employs about 30 people, said plant manager Sally Musser. Except for her husband, Bill, a mechanic who keeps the machinery at the plant in top running order, and “Dominic Morawski, who operates a cloth knife in the cutting room, all employees are female. A 40-hour, four-day work week provides employees with a built-in bonus of regular three-day weekends. “We work ten hours a day, Monday through Friday,” noted Mrs. Musser. Some of the workers who had transferred to the Middleville plant when the local Save on Quality Film Processing by operation closed in 1982 chose to return to Nashville, but others did not, and new employees were hired to fill those positions. “The earning potential is just as great here,” pointed out Mrs. Musser, as she explained that some workers chose to stay at Middleville since they are paid on production basis and preferred to continue working on a familiar line of garments. She noted, however, that driving costs from Nashville to Middleville would probably offset any dif­ ference. “We figure it costs $15 a week just for gas and oil (to make the daily trip),” said Mrs. Musser, who has been employed at both locations.

European corn borer damage is heavy throughout county by Roger A. Betz, Ext. Agri. Agent “Com borer damage has been found in levels high enough to warrant control measures this year in Eaton County,” says Roger A. Betz, Eaton County Ex­ tension Agricultural Agent. The larvae of the com borer feed on the corn near or in the whorl of the plant. When the corn grows the scattered pin holes can be easily seen. Currently the larvae are *4 to Vi inch long. They have white or yellowish bodies and a dark brown or black head. To find corn borers walk the com field and look for small pin holes near the whorl. Grab the top 2 or 3 leaves and pull them out to the top of the plant. Next, unroll the leaves and look for the larvae or worms. Control is recommended if 50 per­ cent or more of the plants show the feeding damage and larvae are small (less than 14 inch) and in the upper open whorl area. It is important to get the in­ secticide into the whorl of the corn plant. A granular form of insecticide should be given strong consideration. The granule will fall or roll deep into the whorl better than a spray. Dyfonate, Furadan, diazinon or Sevin are all effective against corn borer larvae. The adult form of the corn borer are the commonly seen brownish-white moths with a wingspread of about 3,i of an inch. These adults can fly in from surrounding areas. You may have corn borer even though you applied an in­ secticide at planting time. Growers are encouraged to check their fields for corn borer and other insect pests that could be eating up your profits. Call the Extension office (543-2310 or 372-5594) for more details.

July 2. 1984 — Page H) This week in Lansing from Rep. Ernest W. Nash Tax rollback and budget discussions continue in Legislature A recent compromise hammered out by legislative leaders could mean $183 million in tax relief for Michigan citizens and more money for state schools. I am pleased with plans to roll back the state’s 6.1 percent income tax rate to 5.35 percent by Sept. 1. • By dropping the income tax one month sooner than the governor wanted, we could save Michigan tax­ payers a total of $183 million. And the tentative com­ promise also has a plan to reduce the income tax rate to 4.6 percent in Oct. 1, 1987. Until now there was no date set to lower the tax to the level in effect before the 1983 increase. The 1984-85 budget may now include a net increase of $43.5 million for the state’s K-12 schools and $12 million for higher education which reflects the Republican commitment to better fund our state’s schools. While not totally satisfied with the compromise, I think the tax rollback plan is a victory for Michigan tax­ payers and for all of us who have said for months that the initial tax increase was “too much for too long.” House Republicans did not receive everything they wanted in the negotions, but at least we may end up with reduced taxes and a more realistic budget for the people of our state. The plan still has a long way to go. The House, the Senate and the governor must all approve before it becomes a reality. But at least we’ve broken the deadlock on these important tax and budget issues.

The second amendment, allocating $2 million for the removal of the tainted silos, was approved by the House.

Home Economist It was a delight that Judy Locke of Charlotte was awarded the State. Stiver Salute for outstanding volunteer service for Cooperative Extension’s Family Living Education program. She received a beautiful silver tray inscribed with her name. Also her name ap­ pears on a traveling Silver Salute plaque that will be on view at the Eaton Cooperative Extension office for the 1984-85 year. Judy was not the only Eaton resident honored. Four other very important people deed’s were noted at a special V.I.P. reception. These induded Joyce Comer of Eaton Rapids, Mary Castner and Helen Jacobs of Charlotte and Joan Brownell ofBellevue. They were given partial scholarships for College Week as a result of their volunteer efforts for Family Living Education. Each year at College Week, Michigan Association of Extension Homemakers provides to the state membership the opportunity to display cultural arts and crafts for competition. This year a young homemaker, Betty Lange from Delta Township was awarded a blue ribbon for her hand­ crafted blouse stitched with Austrian Lace. As a method to generate funds to support scholaships for College Week, the Michigan Association of Extension Homemakers offered a state-wide raffle. The top prize was a two-week trip for two to Hawaii. Other prizes included weekend trips to various locations in Michigan. Jo-Ann Eicher from Delta Township won the weekend trip for two to the Dearborn Inn. The trip package included free lodging, breakfast, brunch and passes to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. Indeed the College Week delegation from Eaton County left with the richness of new experiences and learning and many high honors. ability to match federal “superfund” dollars for several environmental clean-up problems. This three months delay will prove costly to the state and its environment, its residents, and the Democrats who voted for the delay. Whenever partisan politics come into play with our environment, the people always lose And in this case, the Democrats in the Legislature have decided to allow these health hazards to exist indefinitely, primarily because they are in the more rural, Republican regions of the state. Most Republicans ex­ pressed disbelief when House Democrats, who control the Michigan House, voted down the $8.5 million, citing the Republicans’ unwillingness last year to support a 38 percent income tax rate increase. But when we are told that the money was not available for the toxic clean-up because we did not support the tax in­ crease, I could not believe that the Democrats would actually stoop that low. The Democrats in the House are jeopardizing the health of every citizen of this state, simply to make their point. But the real point is that the tax increase they are blackmailing our en­ vironment with was too much for too long. That is why we have a surplus in the budget, and that is why we are rolling back the tax hike.

Dedication of a new Gas and Steam Engine Building, funded thru past shows, is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, July 15. Park Director, John Patterson said, “This show has shown the greatest growth in recent years. Last year we had 110 tractors registered for our parade and over 200 stationary engines on the premises. I think everyone who comes out will have a really en­ joyable day. So bring the whole family and spend the day.” Admission is $2 per adult (16 and over), 50 cents for children (5-15), and free for those under 5.

He said that he thought that not filing affidavits for a campaign organization in the township race would automatically qualify him. Pino said that he had originally filed for the township office because no one else had filed and decided that he would drop out after other candidates filed petitions. On June 27, one day before the filing deadline for state representative, Pino said that he was contacted by Helen Root of the Democratic State Central Committee and asked to run for the 88th District seat against Bender. He filed by paying the $100 filing fee in Lansing. "The whole thing was just a misunderstanding about how to drop out of the township clerk thing,” he said. Pino, who has lived in Barry County for seven years, ran for Congress in the 8th Congressional District against Alvin Bentley in 1958. He is a former chairman of the Clinton County Democratic Party and is retired from a legislative lobbying group in California. The only other Democrat who had filed against Bender was Eric Reyff of Mid­ dleville, who was disqualified when the state Supreme Court ruled, June 19, that districts drawn by the state legislature in November 1983 were un­ constitutional. The court said that the election would be conducted in the same districts as two years ago. Reyff does not live in the 88th District as it currently stands. He did live in the district that had been redrawn by the state legislature, but thrown out by the Supreme Court.

As we conclude this column Monday morning, storm clouds have gathered over Nashville - bringing a promise of much-needed precipitation. While other areas of the country have been inundated with treacherous amounts of rainfall resulting in several tragedies, the Maple Valley vicinity and most of this region of Michigan have been in the straglehold of a protracted drought. Lawns, normally green at this stage of summer, are burned to an August-like crisp. Lack of rain also is taking its toll on gardens and farm crops. Lawn-mowing is at a virtual standstill, and has been for several weeks. Sprinklers and hoses are the order of the day for residential householders, while in the rural community farmers can do little to alleviate the damage caused by shortage of rainfall on their fields. Temperatures in the high 80s and scattered thun­ dershowers have been predicted for the next few days. Unless we get a good rain, grass fires remain a real hazard, warns Nashville Fire Chief Doug Yarger. He reminds area residents that they must obtain a permit before doing any open burning. This will help prevent needless runs by the firemen, such as one that GaryCdh$*Shirley Stalcup of mark their ■25th wedding anniversary by reaffirming their vows at 11 a.m. Sunday, July 15 at Nashville Baptist Church. They invite their friends to be present at this celebration of love. Gary is known in the Maple Valley community as driver of the United Parcel Service delivery truck. In April he marked his 20th year on the local UPS route. The Stalcups attend Nash­ ville Baptist Church. They have two grown daughters and four grandchildren. Summer story hour at Putnam Public Library commences today, July 10, and continues through the next three Tuesdays. The sessions, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., will feature movies, stories, crafts and games. Children ages four through 4th grade are welcome.

Clark’s mixture of humor and fine musicianship delighted the enthusiastic fans who turned out for the sunny afternoon of country music. Moments after Clark hit the stage it was easy to understand why he has received such honors as “Entertainer of the Year” in country music. His easy­ going rapport with the audience and his expertise on many instrumments quickly put the audience in the palm of his hand. Unlike many of the artists who appear at Sandyland Park, Roy has not had many “number one” hits. Probably his biggest song has been “Yesterday When I Was Young” which he performed Sunday. However, what Clark does, that more than makes up for his lack of big songs, is to play fresh sounding ren­ ditions of many of the old standards of country music. “Ghost Riders in the Sky,” “Blue Eyes,” and “Sleepytime Gal” were just some of the classics that were a big hit with the audience Sunday. Places to go and Things to do. LOOK YOUR BEST at all times! Roy Clark of TV s Hee Haw presented two shows to delighted audiences Sunday a££andyland Park. Two show stoppers that resulted in standing ovations occurred when Roy teamed up with banjo whiz, young Jimmy Henley, on “Duelin’ Banjos” and the closing number, “Orange Blossom Special.” The former featured both Clark and Henley on banjos for a lightning fast rendition of that tune. The latter song featured Clark playing fiddle and also included two members of his band on fiddle, Shelby Eicher and BINtl x I MAPUVAUBI » The crew will soon be out in the Township of Ver­ montville to invite those interested to participate in this very important program.

It was raining so we couldn’t even have the windows open. We had to bury our clothes when we got home, and it was quite a while before we got rid of the odor on us. When I was at Ft. Custer n 1932, I ran out of money. I was going on guard duty that night, so I went to our First Lieutenant and asked if I could borrow a dime to buy a pack of cigarettes. He handed me the dime and I got the cigarettes at the PX. In about two days we were paid, so I went up to the Lieutenant and, after saluting, said, “Sir, I am paying back the dime I borrowed the other day.” He looked surprised, and said, “Thanks, soldier, I had forgotten all about it.” Whether he had or not, I don’t know, but I repaid it anyway. Another time, a sergeant and I were walking down toward the mess hall, when we saw an officer approaching us. “Say,” said the sergeant, “would you like to help in playing a joke on that officer?” (He later Guy Howell (in suit) poses with Frank's children, from left, Joyce, Jack and Frances Dawson, in this turned out to be a Second circa-1940 photo taken at the time Guy returned to Lieutenant). “I would,” I Nasvhille from one of his trips to Alabama, where his told him, “if it won’t get me mother's relatives lived.

The son of the late Ransom and Florence Howell, Guy lived in Nashville nearly 25 years, commencing in 1918. The current article written by Howell presents a potpourri of reminiscences offered in no particular chronological order, and is an addendum to his earlier Memories ac­ counts published in the Maple Valley News last year. The first of the series appeared last week.) Van's Auto Accessories store, at extreme left in this over 40-year-old photo of Nashville's Main Street, was gathering place for youths of that era, recalls Guy Howell. The store located just north of the old Hi-Speed (earlier White Rose) service station was owned by George VanDeventer, who occasionally treated the boys to hot dogs roasted over his Franklin fjreplace. salute, but don’t you salute.” “But won’t that get me. in trouble?” I objected. “No,” he replied, “the men in the detail don’t have to salute; only the officer in charge of the detail.” Well, the officer came along. The sergeant saluted, but I didn’t. The officer said to me, “Soldier, why didn’t you salute?” The sergeant spoke up and said, “This is a detail, sir.” The officer looked a little strange, but he said, “Right”, and went on his way. I think he smelled a rat, but he couldn’t prove anything without a lot of questioning and effort. We had quite a laugh over it after he was out of sight. George VanDeventer ran an auto accessory store, next to the White Rose Service Station, near the corner of Washington and Main. A few of us young fellows like to sit aorund in the store talking. Occasionally George would send one of us to the meat market for some weiners and rolls, and we would roast the hot dogs over the fire in his Franklin fireplace. It was fun, and they were good. The one and only time I ever went duck hunting was the year before they came out with the Federal Duck Stamps. I borrowed a 16.gauge shotgun and went out. There were some ducks on the river, so I shot at one and nearly dropped the gun. I thought my shoulder was broken. My arm just hung limp for awhile. Finally feeling began to come back and it was sore. It wasn’t broken, however. I looked through the barrel of the gun, and there were deep pits all over the inside of it. I never used that gun again. Lloyd Miller and I were down the river past Gregg’s Crossing one day, going through the woods next to the er. We came upon a herd of steers who started toward us. We climbed some trees, but the steers just milled around under us. Finally, about sundown, they wandered off, and we got down and headed for home. Another time we were passing a field where there was a Jersey bull. We dared each other to go into the field and see how close we could get to the bull. I was a little bit ahead when he finally charged. We ran for the fence with the bull breathing down our necks. Lloyd climbed over the fence, but I didn’t have time to climb. I jumped, and sailed right over that 5-ft. fence. I fell on the other side, but anyway, I was safe from the bull. Another time we went hunting and came to the Woodlawn Cemetery, out- side of Vermontville. We rested a bit and then headed for home. We walked and walked, finally coming to a cemetery. We went around in front to find the name of it. It was the Woodlawn Cemetery! We had circled, and were back where we started. As it was getting late, we went back by road. Lloyd Miller and I were in Hastings one Saturday night. We were on Main St. and there was a post in the middle of one of the in­ tersections. A car was coming down the center of the street and it ran right into the post. It sat there a few minutes, then backed up and slammed into the post again. We went over to it and the driver had just gotten out of the car. He appeared to have had too much to drink. He looked at us and said, “I ran right into that post, and then, I’ll be doggoned if I didn’t back up and slam it again.” Just then a policeman came up and took the man off to sober up in jail. I suppose they towed his car away. We used to catch the af­ ternoon train from Nashville to Hastings, and return on the midnight train. The fare was only 25 cents each way. My brother Frank and I were in a tavern in Nashville one Saturday night. Frank had his guitar and we were singing. Two fellows came in. One was heavy and the other was smaller. The smaller one sat down in the same booth with Frank and started trying to pick a fight. That was the wrong thing to do with Frank, for he was a fighter. It ended up with their going outside. The large man made the mistake of taking a swing at the bartender, who was well­ muscled himself, and a bouncer, too. He grabbed the fellow by the shirt front and banged his head against the kitchen wall about half a dozen times before the fellow knew what was happening. I didn’t get into the fight because as Frank went out he handed me his guitar and told me to get up on the bar and protect it, which I did. Frank made short work of his opponent, as did the bartender. We found out that they were from Battle Creek, and had come over pur­ posely to “break up the joint”. As it was, they were the ones to get broken up. They were told to go back home and never come over to Nashville again. They left, and we never saw them again. I don’t know where (town marshal) Vern McPeck was that night, but we didn’t see him. There was no real damage to the establish­ ment, or to the Nashville combatants. Ray Gibson, a cousin of mine, used to drive a Chandler touring car. He started a jitney service between Hastings, Nashville and Charlotte. He was coming back from Charlotte one day when the left front wheel rolled off. The car stayed upright until he had gotten it nearly stopped, when it went down on the axle. The wheel came to'a stop three houses west of us, where it rolled across the front yard and leaned against the porch. Frank and I went pheasant hunting one day, and a beautiful bird went up. We both shot at it. It set its wings for a glide, and after it had glided possibly a hundred yards, it came down near a little pond. We went over and started looking for it. There was some matted grass around the pond, and as we were walking back and forth, I stepped down and heard a squeal. I reached down and picked up the bird. They can really hide. There used to be a saying that if you saw a clump of grass in a field, you had better figure there was a pheasant hiding there. One time, when I was at Thornapple Lake staying in a friend’s cottage, I was hunting. Suddenly a pheasant flew out almost from under my feet. He went straight up, and it startled me so much that I just swung Tny gun straight up and fired. Imagine my surprise when he fell right beside me. That was pure luck.

The event at Sandyland Park may have drawn as many as 2,000 spectators. Organizers estimate that there were some 600 cars at the scene - 400 inside the park and about 200 parked on nearby roadways. “There was not a bad seat in the house,” commented David Mace, secretary of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, which con­ tributed $500 toward the event. Other organizations and business people in the Nashville - Vermontville community, also gave funds to finance the show. The campaign to collect donations to stage the holiday spectacular was spearheaded by Lonny and Sue Kienutske, owners of Sandyland. Almost $3,000 was collected for the show. The park was open free of charge on the Fourth for family picnics and outings.

The audience was kept a safe distance away, outside the fence which separates the parking lot from Sandyland’s performance area. “It was one of the safest, best est paces places in n town for orte the show,” noted Kienutske, who was one of five local men assisting the professionals in conducting the show. Each of the volunteers underwent a brieftraining session prior to the event. After the show, which lasted about half an hour, park workers circulated from car to car to collect funds toward next year’s fireworks display. Donations to date total $776.50 and have been banked in the name of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. Collectors were unable to reach every car at Wednesday’s show, so if you were missed and wish to contribute to the 1985 fund you may drop off your donation or send it to Comerica Bank, Nashville, 49073. Over 80 Maple Valley area business people and organizations financed the recent fireworks show.

NASHVILLE VILLAGE COUNCIL — NOTICE — Nashville Residents A petition shall be presented to the Barry County Board of Commissioners on behalf of the Village of Nashville, Michigan to alter the boundaries of the Village of Nashville by taking out lands des­ cribed as: Commencing at the northwest corner of the southwest !4 of the southwest !4 of section 25, town 3 north, range 7 west. Village of Nashville, Barry County, Michigan and run­ ning thence easterly 64.5 feet to the center of highway M-66 and the true place of be­ ginning; thence easterly 690.3 feet along the south 1/8 line of said section 25; thence southerly at right angles 575.3 feet; thence westerly at right angles 497.7 feet to the center of highway M-66; thence northwest­ erly 607 feet along the center of highway M-66 to point of beginning; said petition shall be presented to said Barry County Board of Commissioners on July 24, 1984 at 11:00 a.m. SUSAN M. CORKWELL Village Clerk sponsored legislation recently introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives. The 3-bill package would affect corporations such as Blue Cross-Blue Shield, medical care services corporations, and health care corporations. The legislation was in­ troduced because many believe that taxpayers are being cheated out of badly needed tax revenues by these corporations that in­ vest heavily in real estate and then use their non-profit status to avoid paying taxes. The bill is designed not to punish these corporations, but simply to discontinue the use of their non-profit status, for property that is not used for health and medical care services. Is it fair to allow these corporations to buy up land for speculative pur­ poses and then not pay taxes on the land? No. Its simply unfair to the taxpayes, the units of government that need the revenues, and those who invest in land for speculative purposes and pay taxes on the property. Supporters of the measure are certain that there will be much lobbying against these bills once they get into the House Taxation Committee since these non-profit groups have powerful lobbies. But the public interest would best be served if these bills were enacted. Creating a Non-Partisan Primary For Supreme Court Justices For years, Michigan’s method of selecting State Supreme Court justices had come under fire because it creates politically partisan courts. However, Republican-sponsored legislation providing for the non-partisan election of candidates for the Michigan Supreme Court has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives. The bill amends the Michigan Election Law by creating a non-partisan primary election allowing candidates for the state’s highest court to file nominating petitions * to qualify for a slot on the state’s August primary election ballot. An in­ cumbent justice of the Supreme Court would only need to file an affidavit with the Secretary of State to seek reelection, a reelection method for incumbents that is already required. Supporters of the legislation maintain that the current partisan method of selecting judicial candidates at Democratic and Republican state con­ ventions has created a politically • partisan court, and a non-partisan primary would alleviate much of the political pressure that now exists. For many years, the partisan manner in which we choose our Supreme Court justices has come under heavy public criticism. There have been previous attempts to remove politics from the justice nominating process, and I anticipate this legislation will receive strong support from the legal community, the Legislature, and the public. Both Justice James H. Brickley and former justice and Cooley Law School president Thomas Brennan support the proposal.

The cost is based on a family of two adults and two children who eat three restaurant meals per day, share a hotel or motel room and travel 300 miles daily by car. This year’s suggested budget allows $63.02 for meals, not including tips and cocktails. Cost-conscious families could save by eating at fast-food restaurants, picnicking or having the main meal at midday to take advantage of lower lunch prices. Lodging at Michigan’s 502 AAA-approved establish­ ments averages $54.18 per night for a two person-two bed room. That price in­ cludes an average $5.10 per night for each child. However, some properties waive charges for children under a specified age. A lodging alternative is camping.

Tuesday, July 17, 1984 Nashville Council ok's weekly sweeping of Main Street by Susan Hinckley Nashville’s Main Street will take on a cleaner ap­ pearance, at the request of the. local Chamber of Commerce, for the Nashville Village Council decided Thursday to have the thoroughfare swept weekly by the Dept, of Public Works. Costs of the sweeping are reimbursed by the state, which also pays the local government for snow removal on the trunkline. The request by the Chamber came from Judy Quantrell, president of the organization, to Village President John Hughes, who presented the matter at Thursday’s meeting. Hughes noted that several months ago Chamber representatives had ap­ peared before the council asking for twiceLweekly sweepings of Main Street, and had been promised that by the village. Leon Frith, DPW super­ visor, said Thursday that Main Street has not recently been receiving even weekly sweepings. He cited the job as “not cost effective” since it must be done between 4 and 5 a.m., which requires overtime pay for the em­ ployee who does the job. “It (MainStreet) is messy, and the Chamber is con­ cerned about it,” said Hughes. “I think we should clean it once a week. We owe it nqt only to the merchants but to the general look of the village. That’s where the (visiting) traffic comes through.” Frith said Thursday that on regular sweeping days when it has rained the cleaning has been skipped for a week. Hughes responded that even if it rains on a scheduled day, the sweeping should still be done within a day or two. He suggested moving the regular Main Street cleaning day from Friday to Wed­ nesday to allow for that contingency. In other Chamber-related business, Frith said loss of a spray nozzle in the Central park fountain had caused the slow water flow, which had concerned the Chamber, and added that he would install a hew nozzle. The council algo said they would look into the cost of acquiring six additional trash containers, requested by the Chamber, for placement on sidewalks in the downtown business district. Hughes said the Chamber had indicated the organization would be willing to share the costs of the barrels. In other action Thursday the council agreed to par­ ticipate in a work program which places recipients of general assistance from the Dept. of. Social Services in jobs with local governmental agencies as a way of earning their benefit payments. Frith said he was notified that eight qualified in­ dividuals live within walking distance of the village, and he suggested the council put these people to work on various projects, including cleanup of the Thornapple River and tree-trimming and reforestation projects on village-owned land along Brumm Road. He said the program provides its own supervisory personnel and runs through January 31, 1985. The only costs to the village, said Frith, would be use of equipment such as chain saws, etc. Also Thursday the council gave Frith approval to acquire for the DPW a $1,200 landscaping York rake which attaches to a tractor and can be used in ground leveling and reseeding projects. In other business, village officials agreed to consult with Michigan Bell Telephone representative about ways to cut costs of phone ■ equipment for the village. A report given by Trustee Richard Chaffee showed for the village. A report given by Trustee Richard Chaffee showed that the village presently, pays $507 yearly to rent the five instruments which could be purchased for a total of $975. Officials said they would seek ways to minimize service before deciding whether to buy or continue renting the instruments. The village presently has phones in the village garage, wastewater treatment plant, police dept, and clerk’s of­ fice in village hall - which has multiple lines. West Virginia murder suspect takes own life when apprehended in area by Susan Hinckley Vermontville was the scene Thursday morning of a manhunt that ended in tragedy when the suspect committed suicide as police approached. An Eaton County Sheriff’s Dept, spokeswoman said that 45-year-old Ralph McClure of Huntington, West Virginia, shot himself in his auto on Frith Road east of Vermontville as deputies drove on the scene. The shooting took place at 7:08 a.m., about an hour after area police agencies converged on the NashvilleVermontville vicinity in search of the suspect wanted for allegedly killing his wife, Linda, in West Virginia Wednesday and kidnapping his 3-year-old daughter, Jamie Renee. The child was dropped off by the suspect at the home of his brother Robert McClure On Nashville Highway, Vermontville, shortly before police traced down the suspect. Eaton County authorities received word Wednesday that McClure may have headed for Canada or Michigan, and located the suspect on Frith Road after receiving a report of a suspicious auto being driven by a person fitting McClure’s description. The car bore West Virginia license plates. The Eaton County spokeswoman said McClure shot himself with a small caliber handgun, and was taken by ambulance to Hayes-Green-Beech Hospital in Charlotte, where he was pronounced dead at 8:05 a.m. Vermontville’s Sunshine Party set for July 27 Barry County Free Fair continues this week * Exciting midway rides are just one of the attractions at the 132nd Barry County Fair which runs through this Saturday.

I sat there every Sunday with my eyes on that vase, expecting it to go over in her lap any minute, but it never did. Halloween was usually a lively time in Nashville. I can remember one episode in which several high school boys tried to get a cow up to the walkway around the school belfry. They got her up to the second floor, but there was a ladder, fastened to a closet wall, which had to be climbed to get to the belfry, and they couldn’t get her to climb the ladder. They had to take her back down, and I suppose they took her back home. Another time a group of high school boys brought a, MEMORIES heavy farm wagon to town, by Guy Howell When I was a young boy in dismantled it, - and re­ Nashville, there was a assembled it on the belfry church my mother and I walkway. I saw the wagon used to attend. The piano­ perched up there the next player was over-size and sat day. But they found out who on one of those little round the boys were, and they had stools. When she was to dismantle the wagon playing, she gave that piano again, take it back to the all she had. There was farmer and re-assemble it. When I was working at always a vase of flowers sitting on top of the piano, Thornapple Lake, some and when she was playing, people from Indiana used to that vase rocked back and come up and go fishing. They were out in a boat one day and a motorboat kept zipping around, creating waves and just generally being a nuisance. The lady in the boat told her husband that she wished the boat woud turn over. Just then, as the motorboat was making a tight turn, it flipped. The man came up and swam to shore, pulling the boat. The people in the fishing boat went back to shore about that time, and the lady said to the owner of the motor­ boat, “You know, you were upsetting us so, that I said I wished you would turn over. And just then you did.” Guy Howell, (left), who “Lady” the man replied “I grew to young adulthood sure hope you never wish in Nashville, is seen in this anything really bad about 1920s photo with two of his me, I’m going to have to youthful chums, Charles completely overhaul this Leibhauser and Harold motor, clean it and dry it” Gibson.

The son of the late Ransom and Florence Howell, Guy lived in Nashville nearly 25 years, commencing in 1918. The current article written by Howell presents a potpourri of reminiscences offered in no particular chronological order, and is an addendum to his earlier Memories ac­ counts published in the Maple Valley News last year. The first of this series appeared in the July 2 issue.) occasionally, for fishing; I had a short casting rod and a Shakespeare reel that wasn’t a level wind. It was made in 1922. (I still have it, and it still works good.) One day Mabel borrowed my rod and reel to use. It was our last day at the lake for that time. We had to leave for Indiana that afternoon. Well, she got a backlash on that reel like I never saw the likes of before. It took her until we were almost home to pick out that backlash. That was about 200 miles. One time, while I was living in Nashville, I had a medium-sized chemistry set. I had used it quite a bit. Another boy, by the name of Max Kelley, had a chemistry book I wanted, so I traded him the chemistry set for it. (Not the same Max Kelley who lives in Nashville now.) I Still have the book and use it occasionally. When I was working at the Lentz Table Factory, they had some furniture that they bleached before it was finished. George Beard was usually the man who did the bleaching. He was doing some one day, . and was putting his waste rags into a five-gallon bucket. The bucket had some waste tow, filler and naptha in it. The chemical that was used in the bleach evidently had a reaction with the other waste, because suddenly the contents of the bucket burst into flames. George grabbed up the bucket, ran to the open window, which was near, and threw the bucket out. He got some minor burns on his hands, but the place was saved. That was quick thinking. One day there was a salesman looking around the factory. The foreman of the finishing department brought him up to the second floor. They stood there talking and the salesman took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and was going to light it. The foreman quickly stepped over and knocked the cigarette out ofthe man’s mouth, saying, “Don’t ever smoke in this place. There The 10:30 a.m. flyer through Nashville struck a semi-trailer loaded with hay and straw while Guy Howell was working at Lentz Table Company in the 1930s Factory workers scurried to the south windows of the plant to view the commotion after hearing an ear-splitting shriek of the train whistle. This undated photo iis identified as wreck at Nashville." Herman Maurer's store was located on Nashville’s Main Street in the building seen second from right (presently north half of Kelley's) in this 1930s photo. A native of Maple Grove Twp., Maurer became a partner in Henry Glasner's dry goods and grocery business in 1908, and the following year bought out his partner's interest and continued operating the store until he retired in 1936. In July 1926 Maurer went to Germany to marry Katharina Ehrmann of Saarbrucken, whom he had met two years earlier, and brought his new bride back to Nashville. Guy Howell was a neighbor and friend to the couple. are flammable fumes and materials in here, and the floor is thoroughly saturated with lacquer, naptha and other flammable materials.” The salesman was startled by the sudden move of the foreman, but as he leaned over, picked up the cigarette and put it in his pocket, he said, “I’m sorry!” If that place had ever caught fire, it would have gone up like a tinder box. I was working at my bench one day when there was a terrific crash outside, following ear-splitting shrieks from a train whistle. We all left our work and hurried over to the south windows. The 10:30 a.m. flyer had hit a semi-trailer loaded with hay and straw. The tractor had gotten across the tracks, but the trailer was right on the tracks, or had been. At the time we saw it, it was down the track on the cow-catcher of the engine. There was hay and straw scattered nearly down to the depot The engineer finally got his train topped and backed up to find out how much damage there was, and if anyone was hurt or killed. The man who had been driving the truck was wandering around in a state of shock. Otherwise, he wasn’t hurt, only scared. Another time the cemetery sexton was going up to dig a _grave when his car was hit by that 10:30 train. They tried to get him to go to the hospital for examination, but he refused, saying, “I haven’t got time to go to the hospital. I’ve got a grave to dig this afternoon.” The marshal, who was standing nearby, said, “You’re very fortunate that someone isn’t digging your grave.” The sexton was also bemoaning the state ofhis car. “I bought that Pontiac new,” he said, “and I wanted to put 100,000 miles on it.” I saw him next day and asked how he felt. “Awfully stiff and sore,” he replied. He got another Pontiac just like the one he had wrecked. Roy Smith was a trouble shooter for the telephone company in Nashville, and for some time he lived in the house just east of us on Reed St. There was some kind of accident at work that injured his eyes and left him nearly blind. He had been a great hunter before that. I was talking with him one day and he said he surely did miss the hunting. Well, I was on my way hunting then, and I went on. I got two or three rabbits that day , so when I got back to town I stopped at his place and gave him one. He thanked me several times.

The Senior Aide Program is funded by the National Council of Senior Citizens. The Barry County Com­ mission on Aging (COA) is the delegate agency, under a sub-contract with Mid Counties Employment and Training Consortium. The COA is responsible for program administration, intake, and recruitment of aides. The COA also is in­ volved with host-agency, orientation, counselling, and administration. While the employees of the Senior Aide Program must be 55 years of age or older, the people served by the aides may be of any age. Senior Aides earn annual leave and sick time. They also are entitled to par­ ticipate in a health- insurance program. The purpose of the Senior Aide Program is to provide meaningful, part-time employment to economically-disadvantaged people age 55 and older. A host agency which sponsors Senior Aides may be a public or private non­ profit agency, and places aides in positions that serve and benefit the community in which they reside.

Betz, Extension Agricultural Agent. The problem seems to be worst in heavy soils that have poor structure caused by poor subsurface drainage and being worked too wet,” Betz adds. The permanent roots seem to be dieing back or not developing at all. Many plants will be laying on the ground with only its initial seminal root system at­ tached to the plant. The seminal root is the one which began growth directly from the kernel. These symptoms are similiar in some ways to corn rootworm larval feeding but no larvae are found. Herbicides are another possibility. Banvel and 2, 4-D can affect the root system development, but these chemicals were not used. There is some evidence that Treflan carryover from last year’s soybeans may cause some root develop­ ment problems. Nematodes can cause root development problems also. The best reason for the current situation to exist in corn is the combination of cook, wet soils (which we had in mid to late May), followed by hot, dry weather (which we also had). Roots do not develop well or penetrate deeply during cool, wet weather. Then when the weather turned too hot and dry, the permanent roots ran out of moisture and could not develop and-or were even “burned off”. In the soils with poor structure (crumbles the size ofa pencil eraser and larger) the top two or three inches will dry out more quickly, helping to cause the problem. Im­ proper placement of fer­ tilizer can hasten the situation because of the higher salt content in the rooting zone, especially if insufficient rainfall has not occurred after planting to dissolve the fertilizer. The best solution to the problem is a good soaking rain. The other possiblity is cultivation to help support the plant and cool the rooting zone by throwing loose soil around the plants. This may do moe harm than good if the cultivation process prunes any roots present or knocks down the poorly supported plants. Many reasons may be the cause of the poor root development and lodged corn plants. Rootworm larvae, herbicides, soil structure, nematodes, fertilizer placement, cool­ wet and then hot-dry weather or, more likely, a combination of two or three of the causes are all possiblities for the corn falling over. current agencies are the Delton Library, Hastings Chamber of Commerce, E.B.I. Breakthrough, Barry County Commission on Aging, Barry County Cooperative Extension, and several area schools. This offers a wide variety of positions in which to place Senior Aides. The COA has 19 positions in Barry County, with current openings! To employ Senior Aides, the COA needs agencies. The functions of the host agency are to provide on-the-job training and supervision. If you are interested in this program as a senior aide or host agency, contact the COA at 948-8061 for more information. Ask for Mrs. Rose between the hours of 8 a.m. and noon.

Tuesday, July 17, 1984 —Page6 Finnish visitor enjoys stay with Vermontville family by Susan Hinckley For 17-year-old Paivi Martkianinen, a Finnish student staying this summer with the Bill Mason family of Vermontville, Tuesday night’s tornado warning was as baffling as it was frightening. It took a good deal of ex­ plaining when the reason family decided to take shelter in the Michigan basement of their nearly century-old home at 287 S. Main Street. Tornadoes are unknown in Paivi’s native country, and even thunder and lightening storms are less severe in Finland, said the young visitor, who is in America for six weeks under the exchange program sponsored by Lions Clubs International. Paivi hails from Kuopio, a 200-year-old city of 77,000 in the scenic lake region of central Finland. Tem­ peratures there are moderate, compared to Michigan’s sweltering summertime highs. “We don’t Jiave like 90 degrees (temperatures),” noted Paivi. Another “first” for the Finnish visitor is something Americans consider com­ monplace: drive-in movie theaters. “That’s new for me,” said Paivi. She also is amazed at the prevalence of hot dog and hamburg stands, our ex­ pansive highway system, and the “lovely big American cars,” (even though her father drives an Oldsmobile Delta 88 bearing a sticker showing it was manfactured at the Lansing plant where her host “father” is employed). Paivi’s father is a suc­ cessful businessman, owner of a construction equipment rental firm which employs over 100 people and has offices in 23 Finnish cities. Her mother works part-time in the business. The family also includes Paivi’s two brothers, ages 12 and 6. The Martikainens live in a home which features an indoor swimming pool plus the traditional Finnish Sauna. They also own a 28foot cabin cruiser, but Paivi says she spends little time on the boat - preferrring to stay behind with her teen-aged friends. She has two more years to complete in the upper level of Finnish high school, then hopes to go on to college to study business management so that she will be prepared to participate in the family business, which her father started 16 years ago. He is now considered top in his field in all of Finland. The Vermontville visitor was among a group of 352 Finnish students who landed in Detroit on June 26, and all of whom were placed in Michigan homes through the Lions program. The Mason family also hosted a Finnish student last summer, and are en­ thusiastic about the ex­ change plan which Bill became familiar with through his association with the Vermontville Lions and District ll-C-2. He expressed hope that Maple Valley area youths would get involved in the program by going to Europe for six weeks next summer. The cost per in­ dividual is about $1,500 for travel fees and expense money. “About 99 percent of that amount has to come from the kids and their parents,” he noted, as the Lions Club would not be financially able to sponsor the number of youths who would want to go if the program were free. The exchange plan is open to youngsters ages 16 through 21, and most find it a very enlightening experience for both the visitors and the host families. Though Paivi is fairly fluent in English, she does consult her Finnish-English dictionary often during conservation. English and Swedish are required sub­ jects in Finnish Schools. Also offered are a multitude of other languages, including Russian, Italian, French, Spanish and German. “We really can study many languages (in our school),” noted Paivi. In her spare time in the winter, Paivi enjoys downhill skiing. Here, the Masons have taken her on water-skiing outings. They’ve also had trips to Harrison and to the Dodge City Festival (where Paivi laughed as Bill Mason was Paivi Martikainen (left) has become a part of the Bill Mason household at Vermontville. The 17-year-old Finnish high school student is in America for six weeks under the Lions Club International exchange program, and on July 8 was the guest of honor at a Vermontville Lions Club picnic. Her host family are, from top right, Bill Mason, his wife Sharon, and daughters Tami, 12, and Becky, 5. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Generous markdowns of our regular low prices...

Other trips on the agenda before the Finnish guest must leave for home on Aug. 2 are visits to the state capital at Lansing; to Cedar Point amusement park at Sandusky, Ohio; and to Mackinac Island and Sault Ste. Marie. This week, Paivi will fly to Montreal for a four-day visit with a cousin who has worked at the Finnish em­ bassy there since January. In other activities here, Paivi is delighted to be taking ceramic classes at the Cleo and Pat Prescott shop at Vermontville. She also enjoys our extensive TV programs, since Finland has just two TV stations which broadcast only about six hours per day. Onion rings, popsicles, and chocolate cream pie are among her favorite American foods. Hamburgs and hot dogs also are a treat for Paivi, who comes from an area where fish is a mainstay of the diet. She said hamburgers and hot dogs are eaten at special outings - rarely at home. “We don’t eat hot dogs or hamburgs for everyday,” she noted. They are treats associated with trips and activities away from home. The Masons plan to make homemade ice cream for Paivi, as that is something she has never seen or tasted though she is familiar with commercial ice cream. Meanwhile, the Finnish visitor has become very much a part of the Mason household, which includes daughters Tami, 12, and Becky, 5. The attachment makes parting a tough time, noted Mason, from the family’s past experience. “At the airport (when the guest leaves for home), it’s not a dry-eyed time,” he said. Farm Insurance?

This year the event is sponsored by the Mulliken Fire Dept., Lyons Club, Community Center and Library Boosters. The event has been ex­ panded to three days, July 20, 21, and 22 and is being held at the Community Center, located one mile north of the blinker light on M-43 in Mulliken. Among some of the at­ tractions are an arts and crafts fair and flea market with both inside and outside booths; a beer tent; games for all ages; and lots of food, including ice cream and homemade pie; a cake walk on Saturday, a chicken, BBQ on Friday at 5 p.m.; and an ox roast on Saturday at 5 p.m. There will also be lots of baked goods, including an Amish Bake Sale.

HOURS: 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday thru Saturday Citronella-saturated candles have long been, used to ward off mosquitoes. Citronella is an oil distilled from a grass native to Ceylon and Java. It does repel mosquitoes, but only mosquitoes. The candles are effectie in a small area on a calm evening until a breeze blows the repellent out of the area. Pest strips are porous materials impregnated with insecticide. They are not repellents. They are ef­ fective insecticides and are most effective in closed areas. “Most are designated to treat 1,0000 cubic feet of space,” Dunn says. Basically, they fumigate the room with a gaseous in­ secticide, so they should not be used in kitchens, bedrooms, or rooms that children and people live in. “There are many other types of chemical repellents and insecticides for people to use on or around them,” Dunn says. “But nothing can completely eliminate insects except for a finite time in a finite area. Be suspicious of a product that promises otherwise.” ^St JHj 1OO’s 260’S 41° Mr. and Mrs. Frank Copen of Nashville, Tenn, are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Kelly Jean Hill, to Don W.

Thirdly, he says, no matter how long a person keeps it going, the zapper will never clean an area of insects. There are just too many insects that move over too broad an area for the zapper to significantly reduce the population. Fourth, the zapper kills more beneficial.insects — the good ones that kill the bad ones -- the pests. What you have,” Dunn says, “is a device that at­ tracts insects from areas outside the yard, that most often kills the beneficial insects, that brings in more mosquitoes that feed on you, and will never rid the area of all the insects -- but it does snap, crackle and pop a lot.” Electronic zappers are, however, very effective within an enclosed area, such as a screened porch or in the home, where it will not attract insects from other areas. & & �The Maple Volley News, Nashville, Tuesday, July 17, 1984 — Page 9 Vermontville news by Ava Kroger Coming events: Thursday, July 19 at 6:30 p.m., Eaton County Historical picnic on “Old Courthouse” lawn to which Vermontville is in­ vited.

Interested persons are invited to appear and to be heard regarding the appeal or any other matter that should come before the Eaton County Board of Appeals. DONALD TIRRELL, Chairman Eaton County Board of Appeals Michigan voters will decide in November whether to amend the state Con­ stitution to protect the state’s Land Trust Fund from raids by the governor or by legislators. The ballot proposal was finally approved in the final hours of legislative work before the summer recess. The measure passed the House on an 88-13 vote, 16 votes beyond the two-thirds required, just one day after Senate approval. The Land Trust Fund, created in 1976 to acquire recreational and en­ vironmentally sensitive land, is derived from money the state gets for oil, gas and mineral rights leases. Had the fund not been reduced by budget balancing raids, it would have reached its ceiling of $150 million by September 30. But because of these withdrawals, the fund will end this fiscal year with only $12 million. The constitutional amendment would prevent further diversions and set a fund ceiling of$200 million. A maximum 25 percent of annual spending could be used for recreational development. The remainder would be for land purchases. I voted for this proposal and am glad that the voters of Michigan will have a chance to decide directly about how our natural resources will be used for generations to come. — NOTICE — Nashville Residents A petition shall be presented to the Barry County Board of Commissioners on behalf of the Village of Nashville, Michigan to alter the boundaries of the Village of Nashville by taking out lands des­ cribed as: Commencing at the northwest corner of the southwest % of the southwest V4 of section 25, town 3 north, range 7 west.

The franchise as granted by the Township Board is on file with the under­ signed township clerk for the purpose of inspection by the qualified electors. Dated: May 29, 1984 Janice L. Baker Township Clerk of the House Taxation Committee recently urged the Democratic chair of the panel to move by September on legislation that would prevent Michigan from collecting income tax on Social Security benefits. Taxation Committee Chairman Lynn Jondahl (D­ East Lansing) has refused to place HB 4987 on the com­ mittee’s agenda since it was introduced last October. Since then a similar bill has been passed by the Senate and sent to Jondahl’s committee. I don’t think the state should tax Social Security benefits in any way. Passage of this legislation would ensure that Social Security benefits will be excluded from state taxable income. The issue arose in April 1983 when the U.S. internal revenue code was amended to include one-half of Social Security income in federal adjusted gross income for taxpayers with income of more than $25,000 on an individual return or $32,000 on a joint return. Because the Michigan income tax starts with federal adjusted gross income, concern arose over whether any Social Security income would be exposed to the state income tax as well. State Representative Michael Hayes (R-Midland) introduced legislation last October that would enable taxpayers to subtract Social Security and railroad retirement benefits included in the federal adjusted gross income from Michigan taxable income. Similar legislation (SB 583) was introduced by Senator Harry DeMaso (R-Battle Creek) and passed by the Senate. Both bills are stalled in the House Taxation Committee because some Democratic leaders feel they are un­ necessary' since Michigan taxpayers may use the pre1983 U.S. internal revenue code in determining taxable income and it does not in­ clude Social Security. The Department of Treasury is planning to modify the 1984 tax form to reflect this. The Republican members said an outright­ exclusion of all Social Security income should be in the law before the forms are sent to the printer in Oc­ tober. Most people are skeptical that the technical reference to an obsolete U.S. internal revenue code will protect them from the state income tax. The public is generally confused about the issue. The passage of this legislation, written in straightforward language, would clearly exempt Social Security benefits and ease people’s minds. I hope Representative Jondahl will make this legislation a high priority in the fall.

Saginaw LATA alamazo Lansing Lan Detroit 4. Lansing LAIA. Battle Creek 5. Detroit LAIA. Jackson All about LATAs, long distance calling and Michigan Bell discounts. LATA is a telephone term that’s new to all of us. Explaining that LAIA stands for Local Access Transport Area doesn’t help much, but LAIAs are really very simple. They’re telephone service areas. There are five LATAs in which Michigan Bell provides telephone service. lATAs and long distance calling. Ifyou look at the map, you will see the five Michigan LAIAs, including the LAIA you are in. Now here’s how LAIAs work: When you place a long distance call from one LAIA to another telephone number within the same LAIA, Michigan Bell can carry the call for you over its own network. When you place a call from one LAIA to another LAIA, either in Michigan or another state, it will be handled by the long distance company that provides that service to you (not Michigan Bell). For example, ifyou call from Detroit to Flint (two cities within the same LAIA), Michigan Bell will still be able to handle the call as' in die past. But ifyou call from Detroit to Traverse City (from a city in one LAIA to a city in a different LAIA), a long distance company other than Michigan Bell will carry the call. As you may know, there are now a number of different companies you may choose from to provide your long distance service. Your long distance bill(s). When you receive your Michigan Bell telephone bill, you’ll find a page that lists your long distance calls handled by Michigan Bell. You may also find another page that lists long distance calls handled by other companies. This is because Michigan Bell may provide billing services for other long distance companies. Or you may receive a separate long distance bill directly from the company you’ve selected to handle your long distance calls. Long distance discount periods. More long distance discounts. Michigan Bell continues to offer discounts on directdialed long distance calls within each of the five LATAs. We suggest you save the chart below as a reminder of the times when you save 30% to 50% off the Day Full Rate. Ifyou make a lot of direct-dialed long distance calls within 30 miles ofyour calling center and within your LAIA, you may be interested in Circle Calling Service. By subscribing to this service, you get additional discount calling periods during which you can save 30% over the long distance rates in effect at the time ofyour call. The discount applies even when regular long distance discounts are in effect. No installer visit is necessary for Circle Calling. We suggest you take a close look at the various Michigan Bell services-available to you. At Michigan Bell, we’re always ready to help in the selection of the service that’s right for you. NOTE: When you begin a call during one rate period, your call will be charged at that rate; however, should that call pass into a different rate period, your charges will change to the rate of the new period. For example, a weekday call that begins 10 minutes before 5 p m. and ends 10 minutes after 5 p.m. will be billed at the lull rate for the first 10 minutes and will be billed at the 30% discount rate for the last 10 minutes.

July 17; 1984 — Page 14 Numerous educational stops augment Ag Expo, July 24-26 Almost a score of educational demonstrations, exhibits and diagnostic centers will be part of Ag Expo ‘84, July 24-26 at Michigan State University. “Ag Expo is primarily intended to give visitors the opportunity to compare agricultural equipment and supplies currently on the market, but the educational activites are an equally important part of the event;” says William Bickert, Ag Expo chairperson. Many of the educational displays that will be located at the main exhibition site are intended as problemsolving clinics. “For instance, the eductional exhibit by the Department of Botany and The Department of En­ Plant Pathology will identify samples of diseased plants tomology will have a variety that visitors bring,” Bickert of insect identification and says. “The crop and soil control exhibits, including a sciences department will growing vegetable garden and a home landscape analyze soil samples and test soil and water samples for possible salt residues. It will also have sample plots of Augusta, Frankenmuth and Hillsdale Wheat.” Ag Expo visitor profile More than 50,00 farmers are expected to attend Ag Expo, July 24-26 at Michigan State University. The annual event, primarily intended for people interested in Michigan’s agricultural industry, is free and runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Nearly 400 manufacturers and distributors of farm equipment and supplies will be exhibiting the latest in. products ranging from' major tillage implements to new hybrid seed. “Ag Expo is the only place in Michigan where farmers can inspect such a wide range of equipment and supplies,” says Bill Bickert, chairperson of Ag Expo. “Ag Expo is large enough to offer just about anything that may be needed for the farm business, yet small enough to afford time to evaluate and make comparisons between similar kinds of products.” Market reserach con­ ducted during last year’s Ag Expo shows that most of the people who attend the event are farmers and that they attend Ag Expo primarily to evaluate and compare the products shown. Research results show that: -80 percent of the par­ ticipants have attended Ag Expo since it began in 1980. Their main reason is to keep up with the new technology (76.7 percent). Nearly as. many ranked educating themselves on the latest farming techniques as im­ portant (72.3 percent),-while evaluating equipment is their highest-ranked reason (68.8 percent). -Half of the farmers surveyed operate from 250 acres to more than 1,000 acres; 6.9 percent of those farmers manage well over 1,000 acres, mostly for cash grain crops. —Well over half (56.3 percent) of the people at­ tending Ag Expo are full­ time commercial farmers. A third (33.3 percent) are part­ time farmers. Ten percent of the Ag Expo participants classified themselves as hobby farmers. -Ag Expo farmers fall into four main groups:1 70.3 percent produce cash graing crops, 37.3 percent are livestock producers, 26.2 percent aw dairy farmers and 19.4 percent produce horticultural crops. Details of the year’s Ag Expo activities are available from the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service office. Local 4-H leader receives "Clover award" Joyce Haigh, of Charlotte, was honored for her 35 years of service to the Michigan 4­ H - Youth Program at the Clover Award luncheon June 20 during 4-H Exploration Days at Michigan State University. Haigh was one of 27 volunteer 4-H leaders recognized statewide for 30 or more years of par­ ticipation. She received the 35-year Sapphire Clover Award sponsored by Michigan Farm Bureau and Affiliates and Dow Chemical, USA, through grants to the Michigan 4-H Foundation. She has served as a 4-H volunteer leaders in a number of project areas, including cereamics, macrame, beef, dairy, and sewing. She has also chaperoned many 4-H trips. Haigh has been a junior and administrative leader for many years. Her family has been recognized as one of the outstanding 4-H families in the Eaton County. model. At a model Cooperative Extension Service office, visitors will be encouraged to ask questions on topics ranging from farm management to water policy issues in Michigan. “This is intended to acquaint visitors with the typical Extension office located in counties throughout Michigan and to demonstrate the information delivery system available through these offices,” Bickert says. Other departments of­ fering similar educational assistance at the main Ag Expo site include the MSU Museum, public safety, agricultural engineering, park and recreation resources, veterinary medicine, animal science and the water research in­ stitute. Tours of selected agricultural research centers are also being of­ fered from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. each day of Ag Expo. Free bus shuttles will leave the visitors’ parking lot every 15 minutes. On the tour will be demonstrations of uses of remote sensing for agricultural production, animal health care at the Veterinary Clinical Center, herbicide trials on soybeans, a weed identification garden, improvements at the dairy barns and a tour of the en­ docrine research laboratory. Each afternoon from 12:30 to 3:30, free buses will leave the visitors’ parking lot each 15 minutes for field crop, vegetable and fruit protection demonstrations. Visitors will observe ground and aerial ap­ plications demonstrations, along with several displays containing educational material and cut-away models of current and ex­ perimental spraying equipment. “This lineup augments an agricultural machinery and supply exposition featuring nearly 350 manufacturers from 18 states and Canada,” Bickert says. “This is the largest participation we’ve had in Ag Expo’s five-year history, and I’m sure visitors will find the trip to MSU extremely worthwhile.” Ag Expo sings mark the route to the site from the freeways that border the MSU campus. There is no admission charge to Ag Expo and parking is also free.

A 4-H’er begins by either raising or purchasing a young animal and then feeding and caring for the animal each day. The young people learn much by feeding, grooming, and training their animals and having to work together for the months necessary to get ready for the fair. Members come from all areas of the county and from all walks of life. The lessons and skills they learn in responsibility, animal care, decision making and cooperation with others, will follow them throughout their lives. At the fair there is all the excitement of the livestock judging contest, showmanship, and market class competition, but one of the biggest events is Sale Day, marking the culmination of the months Of hard work. The Junior Livestock Assocation members wish to invite the community and its com­ mercial and industrial business people to join them at their annual Market Livestock Sale. The big sale will be held at the fairgrounds in Charlotte on Thursday, July 26, beginning at 4:30 p.m. The sale includes high quality lambs, hogs, and steers. Beef, pork and lamb carcasses will also be available. This is a good place to find some quality meat for the freezer and if one cannot use an entire animal, it can be split with a friend.

Catherine Peake (in photo) and her husband, Vaughn, recently opened shop in the former Stanton Real Estate office on North Main, but by August 10 will relocate their business in the old "Dugout" building at 102 N. Main to provide more floor­ space for their wares. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) which now fill their tihy quarters to nearly over­ flowing. Most of the items come from a personal collection that Vaughn and Catherine Peake have accumulated over the past 15 years. “I think we’re pack rats,” laughs Mrs. Peake. “So we decided to do something (with the collection).” The answer was to open their own shop in a town where they are still virtually newcomers. The Peakes moved to Nashville last fall from their home located near the state complex between Charlotte and Lansing. She had worked at the Lansing Mall and he is still employed in that city. The couple, who have six grown children and seven grandchildren, bought the home at 313 Reed Street and are refurbishing it. They enjoy decorating with an­ tiques. The speciality at their shop is antique oak furniture, and the Peakes have restored many of the pieces them­ selves. They also have several old wicker baby buggies, both infant and dolll size, in ad­ dition to a line of general antiques. “We also have items that are really not old but are collectible,” noted Mrs. Peake. Among these are dolls, dishes, bottles, baskets and reproduction pitcher and washbowl sets. The Peake’s store is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day except Wednesday and Sunday. After their move into the “Dug-out” building they plan to stage a Grand Opening event. Eight members of Nashville's Class of 1931 were present at the reunion. They were, seated from left, Marion (Snow) Johnson, Pauline (Bowman) Work, Edna (Brumm) Smith, Patricia (McNitt) Spross, and standing from left, Ceylon Garlinger, Joel Hummel, La Vern DeWitt, and Farrell Babcock. Sunday s dinner was followed by a good round of visiting and reminiscing when Nashville s Class of 1931 hosted a reunion at the local Community Center in Put-­ nam Park. Other classes represented at the event ranged from 1929 to 1938. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) by Susan Hinckley The happy times of schooldays past- that grow more golden every year were relived in memories Sunday at a reunion hosted by Nashville’s Class of 1931. Others present at the event in the local Community Center at Putnam Park represented Nashville classes from 1929 to 1938. The potluck dinner affair was organized by Marion (Snow) Johnson of Charlotte, Edna (Brumm) Smith of Nashville and Patricia (McNitt) Spross of Haslett. All are of the Class of ‘31.

The” local near-drought situation was eased again Friday when the Maple Valley area received about one-third of an inch of precipitation in an evening thunderstorm It was the first significant rainfall received here since a July 9­ 11 storm system dropped a total of two inches on this area. That earlier downpour relieved a pesky drought which had plagued the Maple Valley region and much of Michigan throughout June. Area farmers are now busily harvesting crops of golden wheat under a sultry summer sun - working long hours to bring in the bounty of their labors. Soon it will be known if drought has af­ fected the yield.

He remembers the excellent chili served there and the entertainment of two early music machines. In this circa 1910 photo, the building housed the cobbler shop of early local musician, Hiram Walrath, seen in fore­ ground. The only tornado sighting Guy Howell recalls during his 25 years in Nashville occurred at dip-net fishing time below the Thornapple River dam. He raced home, then turned to see a funnel cloud north of town that later touched down at Lake Odessa. On one Saturday night they would have the Nashville orchestra, consisting of a piano, two guitars, a banjo, one or two fiddles and a caller. Sam Varney, Sr. was the caller for a long time. After his death, his son Voyle did some of the calling. He was fond of getting the dancers mixed up occasionally. He would say, “Allemande”, and then, instead of saying “left” as was normal, he would hesitate a second, then suddenly say “right”. The dancers had naturally started to the left, and there would sure be a huge mix-up. They usually had one square dance and then a round dance, such as a waltz, twostep, or fox-trot. I sometimes had the money to go in. They put an ink stamp on the back of my hand and I could dance until 1 a.m. Intermission was sometime between 11 and 12 o’clock. On alternate Saturdays, they would have the orchestra from John­ stown, and the Nashville Orchestra would go there. There was one couple that came from Johnstown, and they really loved dancing. I don’t know just how it happened, but one day, while at home, the woman fell and broke three ribs. She still came to the dances, but of course, she couldn’t dance, so they brought a girl who was a friend of theirs to be a partner for the husband. The woman would just sit and watch, and tap her foot in time to the music, just it­ ching to get out on the floor herself. I followed a threshing rig one summer around Nash­ ville and surrounding territory. My great ambition had been to go to Texas and follow a threshing rig north until it ended up in Canada, and then do it again the following summer. But one summer of it around southern Michigan sort of changed my mind. It was hot, dusty work, and anyway, I don’t think I was quite ready to go out on my own then. I was carrying grain from the separator to the bins in the barns. One time we were threshing wheat. They would fill a bag with two bushels of wheat and it was my job to tie it up, shbulder it, and head for the barn. A bushel of wheat weighs 60 lbs. On one of my first carries, I sort of thought that bag was awfully heavy to shoulder, Guy Howell is seen in a but I did it.

Around the village park area things are looking brighter these days. The swing sets, teeter-totters, culvert tiles the children play on have been painted yellow, green and brown. Also, the building known as the “Glass Shanty” has a new coat of paint. This community project is some more work done by the local Girl Scouts under the direction of Jeri Baker and girls of Troop 205 and 313: Edith Swartz, Joyce Rathburn and Cindy Murine.

You couldn’t choose a selection you wanted, but for a nickel the next record would come into place and play. They also had an old metal-disc music box. The discs were about 18 inches in diameter. Those two machines were really interesting. I used to get a bowl of chili there sometimes, and it was really good. I have since eaten chili here in the southwest, and the chili I ate at the Dug-out compared favorably with that of this area. I used to tramp around the country quite a bit in those days. One day I was in a field a little way back of where I lived. In the center of the field was a pitcher pump with a barrel under the spout. I was thirsty, so I went over to it and, for some .inknown reason, I laid the back of my left hand on the rim of the barrel while I began to pump water. All of a sudden there was a stab­ bing pain in the back of my hand. I looked up quickly and was in time to see a bald face hornet flying off. He’d stung me, and within a minute my hand was swollen so badly that I couldn’t see my knuckles, nor could I close my hand. Those bald face hornets are dynamite. Well, this ends my third article for Memories of the Past. I have enjoyed writing them, and if I can cudgel my memory some more, there might be a fourth one at some future date.

CRAFT NOOK Band director leaves M.V. to accept T-K teaching post Duane Thatcher, a member of the ThornappleK Kellogg Board of Education for the past three years, has resigned from the school board and from his position as band director in the Maple Valley School District to accept a teaching position with the T-K schools. After accepting Thatcher’s resignation from the board July 9, members of the Thornapple-Kellogg board voted to hire him as the elementary vocal music teacher for kindergarten through fifth grades. Thatcher said the Maple Valley school board released him from his contract as band director at its recent organizational meeting. Although he’s elated with his new teaching position, Thatcher said it was a dif­ ficult decision to leave Maple Valley after three years as band director. “I really enjoyed it there (in Maple Valley). I really enjoyed working with the students and the program had grown.” The recent defeat of a proposed millage increase in the Maple Valley district coupled with an avaialable teaching slot in his field at Thornapple Kellogg swayed his decision, Thatcher said, because he will receive a pay raise and will be able to teach in the community where he resides. Before joining the Maple Valley district, Thatcher had taught for 15-years in the Thornapple-Kellogg School District, 11-years as a band director and four-year s as an English teacher.

Castleton has a total of 11 candidates, and Maple Grove, 10, for five posts opening in each township. The posts to be filled are supervisor, clerk, treasurer and two trustees. All are for four-year terms. In Castleton, incumbent supervisor Justin Cooley, a Republican who has held the post for 12 years, will be unopposed, as is incumbent clerk Sharon Bishop, also running on the Republic ticket. However, three candidates — two Republicans and one Democrat — are seeking the two trustee seats. They are incumbent Nelson Rasey and newcomers Glenn Godbey and* Bernard Hoffman. Trusted Donald Pixley is not seeking reelection. School report­ e • I L. Hoffman is the lone Democrat on the Castleton ballot. The hottest race in that township will be for the treasurer’s seat being vacated by the retirement of Geneva Brumm, who has held the post for 31 years. Vying to replace her are newcomers Warren K. Travoli, Carol Tobias, Patricia Lenz, Loretta Pixley, and Diana Ruempel. The name of a sixth can­ didate, Kathleen Brzycki, will appear on the ballot though she withdrew from the race on July 6. Officials said it was too late to remove her name from the ballot. A lively contest also is slated for Maple Grove Township, where two men are competing for the seat Supervisor Monte Allen now holds. Allen, a Republican, instead of running for the top post, will try for a trustee seat. Former townsh ip supervisor and treasurer awret 121 S. CMMH IMS iHASTISaS, WCH1CAH ,<WM Special school millage election set for Sept. 12 by Superintendent Caroil J. Wolff At a special meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education held Wednesday, July 25, a resolution was approved to schedule a special operational millage election for Wednesday, Sept. 12. This action was in response to a request presented by a group of parents and other interested citizens asking that another millage election be held. Concern was expressed by people in . the audience regarding program reductions in recent years along with the future educational program outlook for the Maple Valley Schools considering the defeat of the millage in June. Concern was expressed regarding the need for a second counselor at the Jr.-Sr. High School plus a counselor for the elementary grades. Additional computer equipment needs to be purchased at all grade levels providing more opportunity for students to use such equipment. At the high school level, additional equipment is needed to adequately equip a classroom for a credit course in computers in a the school year 1985-86 if the school district is going to be eligible to receive full state aid dollars under the present state aid formula requiring that within the next two make years schools available certain class offerings. Concern was also expressed regarding boys and girls donating to play athletics. There was also concern expressed that additional dollars should be spent for textbooks, teacher, and student supplies. Voting in favor of the resolution were Paula Cole, Wayne Cogswell, Merle Martin and David Hawkins. Opposed were Irma Gene Baker and Ronald Tobias, and there was concern ex­ pressed as to how the additional dollars would be spent. Board member Dale Ossenhiemer Jr. could not be in attendance at the meeting because he had to attend a meeting for boy scouts delated to the national conference. Approval was also given to replace the two lift station pumps in the pit at the Jr.-Sr. High School at a cost of $3,872.56 with the pumps and work being completed by Halsey Plumbing. Additional wiring costs will also be involved. There-was also discussion related to the need for new wiring in the office block room and a room to be used with the computer equipment. This is necessary the new considering equipment such as word processors which are being supplied the school district through Eaton Intermediate School District vocational funds. No action was taken on the electrical bids submitted and further checking is being done related to the bids submitted for the wiring. himselfas an “Independent” and has run in the past as a Democrat, has filed under the Republican slate along with newcomer Rodney Crothers for the top Maple Grove post. Other candidates running for the two trustee seats, in addition to Allen, are in­ cumbent Republican Gale Wetzel, and newcomers Republican James Rice and Democrat Carl Heaton. Current Maple Grove trustee Duane Hamilton is not seeking reelection. Township treasurer Joyce Starring, a Republican who has held the post for 19 years, Will run unopposed. In the race for Maple Grove clerk, incumbent­ appointee Susan Butler and newcomer Ann Schantz will appear on the Republican slate .while newcomer Joan Keech will run as a Democrat. Butler was appointed to the clerk’s post on July 1 to fill a Vacancyofcreated by the resignation Dora Chase. Biographical, sketches and comments by the candidates follow: Justin W. Cooley, of 512 N. Main Street, is seeking reelection unopposed as Castleton Township supervisor. Cooley, 63 and retired, has held the post as a Republican for the past 12 years. For the past 17 years, he also has been Nashville village assessor. A 38-year resident of the community, Cooley has been a past president of the Chamber of Commerce; is a member of the Nashville Lions and also past president of that organization; and is a trustee of the local United Methodist Church. In con­ nection with his govern­ mental duties, he has had 60 hours of study at Olivet College in Assessment Administration, and is certified at Level I by the state. He and-his wife, Grace, have three grown children and two grand­ children. Sharon Bishop, of 217 Washington Street, also is running unopposed on the Republican slate as in­ cumbent Castleton Township clerk. She is seeking her second term. “I run on the Republican ticket but am hot a member of either major political party,” noted Mrs. Bishop. A lifelong resident of the community and graduate of the local high school, she also has had college classes in accounting and computer operation. Sharon is em­ ployed at the Nashville post office. She and her husband, Herb, have five children: Pam Godbey, -local; Toni, serving With the U.S. Army; Marcia, an MVHS senior; and sons Kenny 14, and Seven of the 10 candidates for five Maple Grove Township offices are seen in this photo. Seated are Supervisor Monte Allen, who will seek a trustee seat and Treasurer Joyce Starring, who is running unopposed. Both, are Republicans. Standing from left are William Schantz, Republican candidate for supervisor; Joan Keech, Democrat for clerk; Rodney Crothers, a Republican opposing Schantz for supervisor; and James Rice, trustee candidate on the Republican ticket. Missing from photo are incumbent-appointee Clerk Susan Butler (R); clerk candidate Ann Schantz (R); and trustee candidates-Carl Heaton (D) and incumbent Gale Wetzel (R). Among the 11 Castleton Township candidates who will appear on the August 7 primary election ballot are, seated from left, incumbent supervisor Justin Cooley and incumbent trustee Nelson Rasey, both Republicans; and standing from left. Democratic trustee candidate Bernard Hoffman, and five Republican candidates for treasurer: Diana Kuempel, Loretta Pixley, Patricia Lenz, Warren Travoli, and Carol Tobias. Missing from photo are incumbent clerk Sharon Bishop and trustee candidate Glenn Godbey, both Republicans. Another candidate for'treasurer, Kathleen Brzycki, withdrew from the race on July 6, though her name will still appear on the ballot. (Atap/e Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley] Randy 12. Mrs. Bishop said she decided to seek reelection because “I have served four years as clerk and like the job.” She noted that the primary election is important because on the Castleton ballot six can­ didates for treasurer are all of the same party, so the one nominated in August will be unopposed in November. On another topic, she noted: “The countywide proposal dealing with fixed millage is an opportunity for voters to decide whether the County Allocation Board is necessary... That board meets every year and considers the requests for millage submitted by each township and school district, and for the past many years has allowed the same millage for each unit of government. The proposal would ‘fix’ the amount where it has been set for years and just do away with the allocation board.” Nelson Rasey, of Bayne Road, is an incumbent­ Republican candidate for Castleton Township trustee. (His seat on the board is open, as well as the one held by Donald Pixley, who is not seeking reelection.) Rasey, a farmer and former factory worker and supervisor, and previous service station owner, had held the trustee post five years. He also has been a member of the Castleton-Maple Grove Transfer and Recycling Board; director of Barry County Soil and Water Conservation District; and for' 15 years was a com­ mitteeman for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, including three years service on the county committee. He is a lifelong resident of the township, has had one year of college studies, and is unmarried. In seeking reelection, Rasey said: “I would like to Continue my participation in the upgrading of our lesstraveled roads and the ex­ pansion and development of Hosmer Cemetery.” Glenn P. Godbey, of 233% Main Street, is a political newcomer seeking a trustee seat as a Republican on the Castleton Township board. Godbey, 21, is a graduate of Maple Valley High School, Lansing Community College vocational education program, and also had schooling at ITT Technical Institute. He is employed as a trimmer by C. & F. Stamping, Inc. of Grand Rapids. He and his wife, Pamela, have a one-year-old son, Sean. “I am running for the office of trustee of Castleton Township because I feel that as a young adult of this community, I should become more involved in the growth and-development of our community,” noted Godbey, who has lived in Candidates cont. page 6 M �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, July 31, 1984 — Page 2 Nashville News A family'reunion with an unusual vwfcble-ttoe yearly gathering of the Skedgell families of Nashville. On Saturday, August 4, they will stage their fourth annual family golf tournament at Mulberry Fore in Nashville. In past summer events, they have had some 25 members of the family participating in the golfing contest. The only stipulation is that players must be Skedgells or related to a Skedgell. There are over 40 family members who are regular golfers. At their earlier reunions, Skedgell relatives have come from as far away as Minnesota and Indiana to join in the fun. Following the 1:30 p.m. tourney this year, Ada Skedgell Yaudes and her husband, Herb Yaudes, will host a potluck dinner for the family at their home in Nashville. Trophies will be awarded to the top men’s and women’s golfers. Nashville’s municipal water tower will be drained and out of service for about three weeks to allow for repainting of the interior service. Village officials say that some residents in the outlying areas of Nashville may experience a slight reduction in water pressure during that period. Repainting of the interior of the eight-year-old tower on West Casgrove Street is being done by Service En­ terprises, Inc. of Evansville, Indiana, at the cost of $1,380. Because of the debris they leave behind, horses will no longer be allowed in Lakeview Cemetery, reported Nashville Trustee George Frith at Thursday’s village council meeting. The decision was made by the cemetery board, he said, at the request of the sexton. We were wrong in stating in last week’s report on the reunion of Nashville’s Class of 1931 that Isabelle (Brumm) Seitz of Ver­ montville was the most “senior” former Nashville student present at the event.

The Class of 1931 has been meeting regularly for reunions since their 50th anniversary gathering held in 1981. Youngsters attending last Tuesday’s session of Sum­ mer Story Hour at Putnam Public Library fashioned homemade drums and horns to carry in a parade to be staged at 10:30 today, July 31, as a finale to the 1984 event. The children have met for the past four weeks on Tuesday morning for stories, crafts, movies and games under direction of the local Friends of the Library. After today’s march from the library to Eaton Federal’s office at the corner of Main and Sherman streets, the youngsters will return to the library grounds for a sack lunch. Beverages will be furnished by the FOL. John and Dorothy Brake of near Clarksville were callers last Monday on their cousin, Mrs. Fern Hawblitz of Nash­ ville. Fern’s sister, Bernice Bruce of Battle Creek, spent all day Thursday with her. Recent weekend guests of David and Rosalie Murphy of Nashville’ were their daughter and son-in-law, Cinda and Quentin Ward of Arlington, Texas. The Wards visited her brother, Jeff Murphy and family of Nash­ ville, and his sister, Mardi Pontius and daughter Ashley of Lansing. Friday evening they enjoyed a gathering at the Murphy home of former high school friends of the Wards. Those stopping by were Kelly and Brenda (Musser) Lynch of Texas; Dane and Gay (Phenix) Orlowski of Lansing; Cheryl Valdick of Charlotte; Beth Ann Beebe and fiance, Kevin, of Niles; and Mardi Pontius and friend of Lan­ sing. Cinda and Quentin attended the fifth year reunion of their Maple Valley Class of 1979 held at the local VFW hall on Saturday night. On Sunday, the David Murphys and the Wards were dinner guests of Jeff and Rae Murphy, where they were joined by Shirlee By Susan Hinckley Studt of Woodland and Mardi Pontius and daughter. The Wards departed Sunday evening for the trip back to Arlington. The community was saddened last week to learn of the death of Dora (Mason) Chase, a resident of Maple Grove Township who has served as its clerk until she resigned recently due to failing health. Services were conducted Wednesday from Vogt Funeral Home. Con­ dolences are extended to the family.

Clifford Brooks, who has been a longtime local resident and graduated with Nashville’s Class of 1913, returned home Friday from Pennock Hospital where he had been in the Intensive Care Unit several days. He was stricken Monday while at the local Senior Citziens Nutrition Site with what was first thought to be a heart attack. Cindy Tiller, site director, and Agnes Miller, who drives the bus which picks up the senior citizens, administered CPR while Fern Hawblitz called the ambulance. Clifford was taken to Pennock and placed in ICU, but by Friday was feeling chipper enough to return to the Lingoes nursing home on Lawrence Road, where he resides. Further medical tests are scheduled to determine cause of the attack. Warn sunny days and cool 219 Washington St., Nashville Sun. School... 9:45 Sunday: A.M. Worship .. 11 P.M. Worship ... 6 Wed.

Mt to UM not Sitariay �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Tuesday. July 31, 1984 — Page 4 County fairgoers of long ago often rode trains to annual events by Susan Hinckley At this time last year in this column we presented a story recapping early county fairs of this area. Among the annual events mentioned in that article were the Eaton County Fair at Charlotte, the Tri-County Fair at Lake Odessa, and the Barry County Fair at Hastings. Establishment of the latter predates settlement of the first white man within what is now the corporate limits of Nashville. According to a notice published in The Nashville News in 1878, “The 26th annual Barry County Fair will open Sept. 25 for three “Ate our dinner and supper days.” on the grounds, had ice The News at that time was cream, orange crush, etc., just five years old, serving a too.

In the early years of the The Barry County Fair Barry County Fair it was an continued to grow, failing to autumn event, and it became operate only during the an annual tradition enjoyed height of the Great by many generations of Depression. “There will be Nashville folks as well as no Barry County Fair this others throughout the region. year because of existing “We went to the Hastings conditions,” noted The News fair all day,” wrote the late on August 7, 1930. Ella Taylor of Nashville in That same month, her diary on Sept. 9, 1921. however, the Eaton County Having one’s photo taken behind a comic prop was a popular pastime at fairs of the early 20th century. This "Basket of Peaches" at the Charlotte fair of that era holds, from left, Fern Kinney, Flossie Bo1o, Glenn Hoffman, and Myrtle Marshall. In addition to area fairs, the state fair at Detroit and West Michigan fair at Grand Rapids were of special interest to local residents. "Hastings Running Team” is the notation on this faded 1897 photo fo the Barry County Fair. The picture is from the collection of longtime Nashville News publisher Len W. Feighner which was recently donated to Putnam Public Library by Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Ayles. This photo incscribed "A portion of Friday's crowd, Barry County Fair, Oct. 1, ’9 97,” shows that attire of fairgoers in those days was quite formal. For many years the Barry County Fair was an autumn event, held in Sept, or October. The annual attraction was interrupted onlyl>y the Great Depression in the early 1930s. Ive Hill (left) and Pauline Miller were two Nashville girls having a "Barrel of Fun" at the 1915 Barry County Fair. Regular passenger train service through N Nashville made area fairs readily accessible. Iva later became Mrs. Owen Hynes, and Pauline married Dale Downing. Fair Association announced a “day and night fair” with hopes of attracting record­ breaking crowds. “Lack of a fair in Barry County this year is certain to bebeneficaltoEaton,” noted The News on August 21,1930, “for many folks from this section will make their annual pilgrimage to Charlotte who might otherwise have gone to Hastings.” Travel to and from county fairs in those early days often was by rail, sometimes at reduced rates offered during fair week. Regular passenger train service through Nashville made even distant “doings” readily accessible to local folks - provided they could squeeze aboard the crowded cars. Fair-bound trains often were filled to overflowing, as With umbressal shielding them from the sun, spectators appear to be watching a baseball game in this 1897 Barry County Fair photo. However, an inscription on the picture reads "The Baby Show.” Fairs provided an excellent opportunity for ssocializing and showing off new additions to the family, so perhaps this is what the writer intended to convey. illustrated by the late Leo Herrick of Nashville in a 1961 reminiscence published in the Nashville News: “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 room enough 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.” Among local farmers who were early top showmen at county, district and state fairs were Otto Schulze with his fine herd of OIC swine and Louis Norton, a raiser of prize Herefords. The dark era of the Depression passed in time, and by the mid-1980s the Barry County Fair was back in full swing with “bigger and better” attractions: auto, farm machinery and furniture displays, livestock exhibits, Grange com­ petitions, and the usual midway shows and grand­ stand features. Today, the Barry County Fair continues to be a popular year-in, year-out event, as does its coun­ terpart at Charlotte. With improved road travel, the Ionia County Fair also became a major summer attraction for Nashville folks of some 60 years ago. A number also attended the state fair at Detroit and the West Michigan fairs held at Grand Rapids. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, July 31, 1984 — Page 5 Nashville Council approves purchasing phones to cut costs by Susan Hinckley Hughes.

I came to the Barry County Commission on Aging because of the friendliness. I discovered they have many activities: wonderful singers, slides and movie shows, the Raber Stompers (an old-fashioned band), and also educational speakers. To me, the fellowship and social reasons for attending are most important. Sure, they come to eat, but it is having compatible friends that makes it like a second family. If a lot of them did not have this place to go, they would not get out at all. Some of the folks in Nash­ ville, could hardly walk in the first time they arrived. Now they seem more active and alive. See what caring and sharing can do! A lot of people that should come don’t. They may think it is some sort of charity or welfare. It Is Not.

In other business at Thursday’s unusually brief meeting, the council referred to the village Planning Commission a request presented by Trustee Carl Tobias on behalf of Maple Valley Standard Service that the property be included in the official business district of Nashville, which is bounded on the north by Thornapple River and on the south by the old railroad right-of-way. The station located at the intersection of M-66 (Main Street) and M-79 (Fuller Street), is in a residentiallyzones district, just south of the business district. To place it in the adjoining business district requires action by the council, following a formal recom­ mendation by the Planning Commission and a public hearing. Homeowners living within 300 feet of the station will be notified by letter of the impending change, said Hughes. The council also turned back to the Planning Commission for additional clarification, a proposal that the Nashville zoning or­ dinance be amended to require temporary fences or barricades around all excavations - basements, sewer lines, swimming pools, etc. - and permanent fences within six months of completion around all pools. “What is the definition of a barricade?” asked Trustee Gerald Kent, one of the council members who questioned the language of die Planning Commission proposal. The proposal called for Vermontville Fire Dept, plans summer dance and fun day Plans are underway for the Vermontville Fire Department’s Summer Dance and a day of fun on Saturday, August 18. With a theme of “Fire Up and Support Your Local Department,” the day will begin at 9 a.m. with a bake sale. At 1 p.m. the public is invited to tour the fire department during an open house. The department in­ vites visitors to stop by and have a cup of coffee and take a look at the department’s history, present status and hopes for future service to the community. Also, members of the fire department will be on hand to answer all questions concerning fire and am­ bulance service. Ambulance members will be available to check blood pressures. Balloons will be given away to children who attend the open house and TOT millllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIFinder Emergency Window Stickers will be available for your home. Highlighting the day will be the adult dance which will begin at 8 p.m. in the fire barn with music by the Renegades. During the dance, persons will have an opportunity to take part in the Vermontville Fire Department’s “White Elephant Auction.” Donations of good usable items for the auction are being sought. Persons who have items may contact Diane Clark at 726-1155. Persons are asked to bring their own refreshments to the dance but an “ole fashioned popcorn sale” will go on all during the evening. Tickets for the dance will be available at the door for $6 per couple or $3 per single. All proceeds will go to the Vermontville Fire Depart­ ment and Ambulance Ser­ vice for new equipment. temporary barricades or fences to “prevent un­ controlled access.” Village officials said that their main concern was to assure installation of per­ manent fencing around swimming pools, but failed to agree on whether or not this should include self­ barricaded above-ground pools as well as traditional in-ground pools. Trustee George Frith cited the case of one local homeowner’s above-ground pool which is designed so that it is accessible only from a deck on the house. Hughes instructed Trustee Carl Tobias, who also heads the village Zoning Board Appeals, to return the proposal to the Planning Commission for further study.

Clinton St. Grand Ledge K o-year home buyer PROTECTION PLAN �The Mople Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, July 31,1984 — Page 6 Candidates cont. from front page— Castleton Township for one year. Bernard Hoffman, of 1028 Sherman Street, is the lone Democrat appearing on the Castleton Township ballot. He is seeking a trustee seat. A newcomer to the political scene, he has lived in the township for 15 years. Hoffman is a member of the Castleton-Maple GroveNashville ambulance ser­ vice, since 1978, and has served as billing clerk for that organization for two years. He is employed in the Industrial Engineering Dept, of E.W. Bliss Co. in Hastings. He and his wife, Connie, have three sons: Dan, 20; Craig, 15; and Brad, 13. Warren K. Travoli, of 509 Reed Street, is the only male among five candidates ac­ tively vying for the office of Castleton Township treasurer being vacated by Geneva Brumm. (A sixth candidate, Kathleen Br­ zycki, has withdrawn from the race.) All are running under the Republican ticket. Travoli has lived in the township for eight years and is employed as a sales representative. He is a graduate of Valparaiso Technical Institute and attended Valparaiso University and Indiana University. Locally, he is active in the Nashville Lions Club, serves on the village Parks Committee and on the Castleton-Maple Grove Transfer and Recycling Board. He is involved with the American Legion, being a veteran of World War II and the Korean conflict. He and his wife, Carla, have a son, James, 21. An older son, Jon, died last year at age 22. Carol Tobias, of 391 N. Clark Road, is a Republican candidate for Castleton Township treasurer. She has lived in the township 17 years and is a newcomer to the political scene. Mrs. Tobias is employed in the General Merchandise Dept, of Felpausch Food Center in Hastings. , She has had one year of college, and worked four years in the bookkeeping dept, of the Hotel Baker at St. Charles, Ill. She and her husband, Ronald, have two children: Timothy, 20, and Tammi, 18. “I enjoy keeping our farm books for our dairy farm and have enjoyed my past bookkeeping experiences,” commented Mrs. Tobias. “If I am elected, I’ll be happy Geneva Brumm is my predecessor. She would be a valuable teacher with many dedicated years of ex­ perience to pass on to the new Castleton Township treasurer.” Patricia Lenz, of 110 E. Francis Street, is a Republican candidate for the post of township treasurer. She also has lived in Castleton Township for 17 years and is a newcomer to the political arena. Mrs. Lenz is currently a part-time student at Lansing Com­ munity College and is a secretary-bookkeeper for St. Cyril Catholic Church in Nashville. She has been active in the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters, has been a Little League officer for three years, a volunteer for the American Red Cross Blood Drive, and is a member of St. Cyril Women’s Guild. She and her husband, Larry, have two sons: Gregory, 17, and Scot, 14. “I am seeking election because I enjoy working in and for the community,” said Mrs. Lenz. “I feel that our community is not living up to its fullest potential. Idle land, (idle) commercial property, or (idle) people do nothing to enrich our com­ munity in either revenue or human resource. Progress combined with our own values can stimulate our citizens to look to the future with confidence and security.” Loretta Pixley, of 9180 Thornapple Lake Road, is another of the GOP can­ didates seeking the office of Castleton Township treasurer held by Geneva Brumm for the past 31 years. Mrs. Pixley has lived in the township 14 years and is a newcomer to the political scene. She graduated in 1965 from Maple Valley High School and is now employed as a bus driver for the school district. She has been past treasurer of Maple Valley Band Boosters, past treasurer of the MV Alumni Association, has been active in the Nashville PTO in the past, and has danced with the Maple Valley Squares club. She and her husband, Donald, have two children: Dawn, 17, a senior at Maple Valley, and Scott, 14, a fresh­ man. “I am running for the office of township treasurer because I would like to become more familiar with the workings of local government,” noted Mrs. Pixley. “I feel that the lack of knowledge on certain issues could affect all residents of Castleton Township.

Diana Kuempel, of 10030 Thornapple Lake Road, is another Republican can­ Castleton didate for Township . treasurer. A newcomer to the political scene, she has lived in the township for 27 years. She graduated from cosmetology school after high school. Mrs. Kuempel and her husband, David, have three children: Michael, 8; Benjamin, 6; and Jennifer, 5. She served two years as president of the Maple Valley Cooperative Nursery, with which she has been associated five years; and also was responsible for the recent project of having local schoolchildren fingerprinted by law officials as a safety measure. Mrs. Kuempel said she is seeking office because, “I like people and this will give me an opportunity to meet them. I would Ike to feel that my children are being raised in a and good community country. I feel that we should all start with our local government.” William A. Schantz, of 8304 Maple Grove Road, is seeking election to the office of Maple Grove Township supervisor, a post he held for seven years back in the 1960s. He also once was township clerk for eight years, and served one term on the Barry County Board of Commissioners. Schantz, 76, has lived in the township 44 years. A graduate of Hastings High School, he was appointed to the Nash­ ville Village Board of Review for three years and once served as constable in Vermontville Township. He is a farmer. Schantz and his wife, Reva, have a grown son, Homer. Their older son, Howard, died in an auto accident in 1967. Schantz said he decided to run for supervisor when approached by residents who live on secondary (gravel) roads in Maple Grove Township. “They feel the gravel roads been have seriously neglected by the present board, who incidentally, all live on blacktop highways,” noted Schantz. “The county road commission will do very little about repair or putting on gravel unless the township board insists and pays for the same.” He added that the present-day demands on our roads are school busses, milk trucks, fire trucks and ambulances. “There are very few places on the secondary roads that any of them could safely pass each other going in opposite directions,” commented Schantz. “Something must be done soon before a serious ac­ cident happens.” He added that there is a stockpile of gravel on Evart Road that “doesn’t do any good until it is put where it was intended on our gravel roads.” Schantz, who calls himself an “Independent” and has run the past as a Democrat, has filed under the Republican ticket in the August primary. Rodney Crothers, 36, of 8105 Barryville Road, will run against Schantz on the Republican ticket for supervisor qf Maple Grove Township. He has resided in the township six years and has served on the township Board of Review for three years. A farmer, Crothers has two years of schooling at Kellogg Community College and one year at Western Michigan University. Crothers, who is single, noted that to be a good township supervisor “requires some ability, but mostly a lot of time...” especially time to listen to concerns of township residents. “I feel that with my crop farming operation I have the time to devote to the job,” added Crothers. On the topic of taxes, Crothers noted that “It’s up to the supervisor to see that Maple Grove Township pays only its fair share within the county.” The other im­ portant job, he said, is to see that the tax burden is shared equally and fairly among property owners in the township. The problem with township roads is “not enough money and the many miles of roads to be kept in repair.” He suggested that the township work with the county to improve the situation. Crothers also stressed the need for allowing citizens input on how their tax dollars are being spent. “This is very important at the local (township and county) level,” noted Crothers, “because at this level the voters can have direct input and should feel their wishes and ideas are being heard.” Joyce Starring, of 8610 Cloverdale Road, is running unopposed on the GOP slate for reelection as Maple Grove Township treasurer — a post she has held for 19 years. Beyond high school, she has had business school training, and has lived in the township for 27 years,. She and her husband, Harold, have one grown son, Harold, Jr. She is a member of the Farm Bureau and the Maple Grove Birthday Club. “I think it is essential that we maintain good local government,” noted Mrs. Starring. “Without it we could lose our rights to be heard on issues important to our township. I, like everyone else, am interested in keeping our taxes at a minimum. I am also interested in seeing the roads in our township improved as much as finances will allow.” Susan Butler, of 9752 Evart Road, was appointed July 1 as Maple Grove Township clerk to fill out the unexpired term of Dora Chase, who resigned due to ill health and has since passed away. Mrs. Butler is seeking election to the office as a Republican. She has lived 13 years in the township, and has had no prior political experience. She is a graduate of Wright’s Beauty Academy in Battle Creek, and her community activities include serving as a 4-H leader in dairy and sewing, being treasurer of the local PTO, and teaching Sunday School. She and her husband, Alvin, have three children: Jeff, 12; Emily, 11; and Joel, 9. Ann Schantz, of 8665 Maple Grove Road, is a Republican candidate for Maple Grove Township clerk. She has resided in the township three years and is a newcomer to the political scene. She is a graduate of Gharlotte High School and has taken classes at Kellogg Community She formerly College. worked as a bookkeeper at Citizens’ Elevator in Ver­ montville. Mrs. Schantz also has assisted with Maple Valley school activities, is a member of the Maple Leaf Grange and the Maple Grove Birthday Club. She is stepmother to the three children of her husband, Homer Schantz. They are Michael, 13; Levi, 11; and Miriam, 8. Mrs. Schantz said she decided to run for office, since she had been ap­ proached by Dora Chase about filling out her term. Four persons were con­ sidered for that post when the township board made its decision on June 5. “As I wasn’t chosen, I decided to file a petition for the office of clerk for the August 7 primary,” said said Mrs. Schantz. “I feel the primary Continued on next page— Phone... 726-0330 /lancy 3 BEAUTYSHOP 157 South Main Vermontville, Michigan 49096 Styling for the Whole Family YOUR FAMILY HAIR CARE CENTER — FOR SALE — Oak FIREWOOD (By Wholesale) Split, round or 8 ft. lengths.

She has resided 14 years in the township and is a newcomer in the political arena. She is a graduate of Kellogg Community College and formerly worked as a registered nurse at Pennock Hospital in Hastings. She has been very active in 4-H leadership for 16 years — eight of them as coach of the Dairy Quiz Bowl Team, and has served on the 4-H Council.

She and her husband, Russell, have three grown children: Cindy, who is property assessor for Barry County; Cheryl, a graduate of MSU and Texas A. & M.; and Dan, who will be a sophomore this fall at T. A. & M. Mrs. Keech said she is seeking the office of clerk “because I’m interested in the future of the community, and as I’m no longer employed outside our home, I have the time required to devote the township needs.’* She added: “I would like to see the library question resolved and would work toward better understanding between the township and the village.” Mrs. Keech also noted that township services including ambulance, roads, and fire protection “need to be independently evaluated to provide the most efficient service possible to meet the needs and provide for the safety of township residents.” Monte M.

Tuesday. July 31, 1984 —Page 12 Singer at First Sunshine Party returns for an encore by Susan Hinckley When young Christine Powers consented to sing at Vermontville’s first Sun­ shine Party back in 1938, it was with a great deal of trepidation. On the program with Christine was a woman in her late thirties with a full, mature voice. Reflecting now on that time, Christine Powers Rowley remembers her fear: “How could I ever perform after hearing that gorgeous, robust voice?” But her music teacher, the late Miss Jenny Martin of Vermontville, would hear none of her objections. “She told me, ‘ You are going to sing,’” recalls Mrs. Rowley. She remembers that Miss Martin explained to her that young girls are sup­ posed to have lighter voices than those of mature women, and they have their own sweet qualities of sound. “I’m glad to come back (to Singing again at the Vervontville Sunshine Party perform in Vermontville) was a thrill for former local resident Christine Pow­ now that my voice is more ers Rowley, who made her singing debut at the first mature,” laughed Mrs. Sunshine Party in July 1938.

Miller, a member of the congregation who died earlier this year. Funds for the parking lot project were donated by Miller’s parents, Forest and Betty Miller of Hastings, and family.

M.V. voters to reconsider millage A major improvement to Nashville's Assembly of God is the newly-paved parking lot dedicated Sunday in memory of Loren S. Miller. The blacktopped surface extends from in front of the church to the parsonage at the rear of the lot at 803 Reed St. Maple Valley school district voters who in June rejected two proposed millage hikes, will have an opportunity to reconsider their decision next month. A Sept. 12 ballot will ask for an additional four mills for two years (1984-85) for operational expenses. In the June election, a graduated operational increase was sought. That proposal would have granted a 3.5 mill hike in 1984, then raising it to 4.5 mills in 1985. Voters that defeated measure 431 to 330. Also rejected on the June ballot was a proposal calling for a .5 mill for a period of two years to finance extracurricular activities. Scheduling of the Sep­ tember election was apap­ proved by resolution of the Maple Valley Board of Education at a special meeting on July 25. Board members Paula Cole, Wayne Cogswell, Merle Martin and David Hawkins approved the move, while it was opposed by Irma Gene Baker and Ronald Tobias. Board president Dale Ossenheimer, Jr. was not present at the meeting, The action was taken in response to a request by a group of parents and other interested citizens, said Superintendent Carroll J. Wolff. “Concern was expressed by people in the audience regarding program reductions in recent years, along with the future educational program outlook for Maple Valley schools considering the defeat of the millage in June,” noted Wolff. He said that one of the primary needs now is to expand the the computer program at the junior-senior high level and also in the elementary grades. ‘‘The way the state aid act was written this year, to quality for additional aid per student by 1985-86 we must offer a one-semester credit course in computers,” explained Wolff.

Those scheduled to perform are Bobby Vee, the Ventures, Bobby Helms, Freddy Cannon, and Wedsel’s Edsels. There will be only one show which will begin at 2 p .m. Bobby Vee has recorded many hits that will bring back memories that afternoon. “Take Good Care of My Baby”, “Devil or Angel”, “Rubber Ball”, “Run to Him”, and “The Night Has a Thousand Eyes” are just some of his big chartbusters. The Ventures have recorded 80 albums tor United Artists. They have had big hits with the ‘ ‘Hawaii Five-O” theme, “Walk, Don’t Run” and “Telstar”. Bobby Helms had three of his biggest hits all in the same year, 1957. They were “Fraulein”, “Jingle Bell Rock”, and “My Special Angel”. Freddy Cannon is another one who has recorded songs that have become classics. “Palisades Park”, “Way Down Yonder in New Orleans”, “Tallahasee Lassie” and “Sea Cruise” all .have been big hits for Cannon.

It is of George Frith in profile following removal of head bandages, revealing the scar on the right side of his head. (He is continuing to make a good recovery from the surgery.) Roxanne’s background, after her graduation from Maple Valley High School, includes an associate degree in photojournalism, a trade certificate in commercial photography and experience as a phototechnician. She is now working on a bachelor’s degree in photography and art history at the University of Arizona. She also is em­ ployed part-time at the Center for Creative Photo raphy in Tucson. Fire hydrants in Nashville are flowing for a special reason, advise village of­ ficials, and ask that they be left open. Some well­ meaning residents have spotted the running water and shut off hydrants. They must be left open to stabilize pressure during the next few The photo work of former local resident Roxanne Frith will be seen in,a July 27 August 23 photography exhibit at Silverware Studios in Tucson, Arizona. The unusual subject of her display is a succession of shots of her father during his recent brain surgery in Kalamazoo. Roxanne is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Frith of Nashville. Photography has long been a part of Roxanne’s life, after she received a box camera at age seven and a 35mm at fourteen. So when she returned to Michigan in May to be with her father during his operation for removal of a brain tumor, she naturally picked up her mother’s Polaroid camera. Taking photographs of her father in the hospital before and after surgery provided a way of dealing with the life­ threatening situation. In an unusual treatment of the photos, Roxanne used a pencil to manipulate the Thank you to all our caring friends in Vermontville. Erv & 0 J "Sorrow shared is sorrow diminished" is an old adage. Upon this principle, funerals are made public events. Not only does the family grieve, but fellow workers and friends in the community have suffered a loss as well.

During that approximately three-week period, householders in the outlying areas of the village may experience some reduction in water pressure. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Simpson of Queensland, Australia, have been visiting the past three weeks with her cousins Elizabeth Lynch of Nashville and Dorothea Nooney of Plainwell. Last year, Mrs. Lynch and Mrs. Nooney visited the Simpsons in Australia. The Simpsons left home June 9 and flew to Singapore, Hong Kong, then spent seventeen days in Japan before arriving in Grand Rapids July 9. While here they enjoyed a trip to Sault St. Marie, Mackinac Island, and Traverse City. On Saturday, July 28, the Simpsons attended the William Lindsey reunion at Kalamazoo. She is the daughter of the late George Merlau from Prairieville, and great - granddaughter of William Lindsey. Mrs. Simpson was born in Detroit but has lived in Australia 35 years. Sunday, Mrs. Lynch took the Simpsons to Detroit to meet Bonnie and Bill Lynch. After visiting in that city a week, they will continue their trip to Niagara Falls, New York City, Washington, D.C., Orlando, Fla., New Orleans World Fair, the Grand Canyon and Hawaii. They plan to arrive back in Queensland about Sept. 1. Putnam Library’s book­ buying budget, which has been severely strained lately due to rising operational costs of the facility, waM given a boost last week with the gift of over 100 books from the state library at Lansing. The books were made available through the Library off Michigan Duplicate Examination Center directed by Marlene Thayer. The volumes were offered to any public library in the state on a first-come firstserved basis. The local acquisition was made through the efforts of librarian LaDuska Sheldon and her daughter, Julie Sheldon-Edger, a Hastings rare book dealer who often acts as a volunteer appraiser for Putnam. The selections By Susan Hinckley they made at Lansing for Putnam’s shelves included 23 volumes of the very scarce Michigan Pioneer collection, including Volume III, 1879-80, which is one of the earliest of the set. Mrs. Sheldon explains that the Pioneer books contain almost anything to do with the settlement of Michigan, including white man’s recollections of early en­ counters with Indians, the state’s pioneer commerce and agriculture, war histories, some genealogies, and accounts of various community origins. The recently acquired Michigan Pioneer volumes will be added to those already owned by Putnam. Also, the local library was given 54 new books which had been sent to the state library as exhibition or examination copies, plus 30 others chosen by Mrs. Sheldon and her daughter as welcome ad­ ditions to the Putnam collection. These volumes cover a number of categories, and include some new children’s books, which will “allow a fresh look” in the Children’s Room, noted Mrs. Sheldon, as she expressed her appreciation for the gift. “We haven’t had funds recently to acquire such books.” The latest contributions to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came last week from Dr. and Mrs. Morris D. Brown in recognition of the 25th wedding anniversary of Gary and Shirley Stalcup; from Leon and Helen Ackett in memory of Dora Chase; and from Mr. and Mrs. Glee Chaffin and Mrs. Arlin M. Wood in memory of Terese Dean. Also, a $100 donation was received from Maple Valley’s Class of 1979, which recently held a reunion in Nashville. Their contribution came in memory of two former classmates: Paul Baltus, who was an exchange student here from the Netherlands during his senior year, and Jon Travoli, son of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Travoli of Nashville. Donations to the building fund will help add a proposed $50,000 Children’s Room to the present facility. Names of donors and of those designated in gifts will be inscribed on scrolls to be displayed in the new wing. Contributions may be made at the library or mailed to Post Office Box C, Nashville, 49073.

Eaton Federal | �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, August 6, 1984 — Page 4 This week in Nashville history (Author’s Note: Today’s column looks at this week in Nashville history. The following excerpts are gleaned from the Nashville Ancient History column published in The Nashville News from near the turn of the century into the 1930s; from the Turning Back the Pages feature of the 1940s60s; and from various early issues of The News.) 1875.. . A large number of Nashville families went to Thornapple Lake on the 3 p.m. train Sunday, returning on the evening train. Most of them spent a jolly time boating, bathing, playing croquet and enjoying the hospitality of Mr. Cole at the hotel. 1876.. . John Furniss, living near the Center, had nine When in early August 1879 fish by the thousands began dying in the upper millpond on Nashville's Thornapple River, many folks blamed pollution by a local ashery. This September 1906 photo by Gail Buxton, inscribed "good pickerel grounds," was shot probably from somewhere near the end of North State St. The northwesterly view shows the 1899 iron river bridge, behind it the smokestack of the waterworks building and (in center) the 1892 standpipe. At extreme right is the old Kellogg Planing Mill on North Main. Still standing is the old Kellogg home just south of the mill. C. J. Scheidt, seen in this about-1910 photo with his wife and son, Walter, in early August 1908 finished the job of equipping Barry County's largest barn with 414 ft. of lightening rods. Located four miles north of Nashville, the huge barn was owned by Townsend Bros. A local entrepreneur of his day, Scheidt also had various business ventures in the village, including a livery stable, saloon and pool hall. acres of wheat this year that yielded 267 bushels. It was by threshed Baker’s machine at the rate of one and three-quarter bushels per minute. 1879.. . Fish commenced dying by the thousands Sunday in the upper millpond. The cause, many believe, is the ashes sifting onto the water from the ashery and developing an alkali that poisons the fish. Great quantities of pickerel, bass, perch, suckers and bullheads have been collected and buried, but the awful stench continues to grow. 1880.. . Lewis Durkee, one of the pioneer residents of Nashville, is the Republican candidate for Senator from this district. For five years he has been supervisor of Castleton Township. (Note: Durkee, a New York native who moved to Nashville from Hickory Corners with his family in 1866, was elected as state senator in the contest but died a few months later, in April 1881, at age 50. 1881.. . New wheat is coming to market at a lively rate. Paying prices have varied from 98c to $1.05 during the last week. 1883.. . Saturday afternoon Holler’s mill dam, which had withstood the pressure of the elements for 32 years, succumbed to the inevitable, and about 20 feet including the flume, broke away. The river basin is now nearly all exposed, covered with driftwood, dead fish and decaying vegetation. It is unanimously conceded' that for the health of the village it be rebuilt at once. Work was begun on it this morning and it is expected that by night the break will be repaired. 1884.. . Merritt Moore of Ionia, State organizer of the Union party, spoke upon temperance at the opera house Tuesday evening, after which a union prohibition club of twentyfour fully pledged voters was organized. 1887.. . The thermometer manages to crawl into the neighborhood of 100 degrees above zero practically every day. Prominent physicians predict that if the dry weather continues, typhoid fever will become alar­ mingly prevalent. 1888.. . Nashville seems like a new town since two new trains were put on the Michigan Central. 1890.. . The Driving Park Association has made arrangements for a series of races to be held at the driving park Thursday af­ ternoon, August 7, There will be a 3-minute race for a purse of $25, a 3:30 race for a purse of $50, and a running race for which $10 is offered. Barry Golddust will trot an exhibition half-mile. (Note: The driving park was located ........... ' < - A large number of Nashville families enjoyed Sunday excursions by train to Thornapple lake where, as reported in early August 1875, "most of them spent a jolly time boating, bathing, playing croquet and enjoying the hospitality of mr. Cole at the hotel." built in 1866 by Louis cole as the Lake House resort, the inn remained in the family well over 60 years and featured fine dining as well as recreational facilities. It was situated conveniently close to the MCRR line and was served by its own tiny depot. The hotel burned in 1946. (This photo dated August'3, 1916, was loaned by Dorothy Hummel Martich of Battle Creek.) north of the Thornapple River on the south side of what now is Kellogg Street.) 1892.. . A. C. Buxton’s new house, corner State and Reed streets, promises to be one of the finest in the village. The frame is all up and will be veneered with white brick. The cost will probably be in the neighborhood of $3,000. (Note: This is the presentday Brzycki home, com­ monly referred to as the old George Wilson place.) 1893.. . The fire department was called out again Tuesday afternoon by a blaze in Bell & Son’s planing mill. It was extinguished before the boys arrived... Bad fires burning in the fields south of town are threatening farm buildings. 1899.. . A great day of sports at Lacey will be the attraction in Johnstown Township Saturday. Messrs. James L., Seth C. and Martin R. Graham of this place will furnish the band music during the day. Nashville is also booked for a ball game on the occasion. 1902.. . After all the correspondence relative to the purchase of the $6,000 school bonds with banks, monied men and institutions in every part of the United States, our own Farmer & Merchants Bank carries off the plum and takes the bonds at three and one-half per­ cent. (Note: Construction on Nashville’s new schoolhouse was well underway by the first week of August 1902. It replaced the Union School which burned in February of that year.) 1903.. . A Charlotte com­ pany has been formed for mining, processing and selling peat for fuel. They will operate six miles south of Charlotte and expect to get out 40 to 50 tons daily. 1904.. . Close to a thousand gathered at the revival service^ at Parker’s crossing Sunday afternoon and five were baptized. 1905.. . Drilling for coal on the Bill Smith farm has reached a depth of 300 feet, and still no signs of coal. 1908.. . C. J. Scheidt has finished equipping the largest barn in Barry County with Martin lightening rods. It is the huge barn owned by Townsend Bros., four miles north of the village. The barn required 414 feet of rods. 1909.. . Chester Smith was the first to deliver new wheat in Nashville this year, bringing in 425 bushels last Saturday, receiving $1.05 per bushel from J. B. Marshall. 1912.. . The committee on bands for the band tour­ nament in connection with the Harvest Festival has been grieviously disap­ pointed in not being able to get sufficient bands to make it interesting, so it has been decided to call off the band tournament and spend the money raised for that pur­ pose for other attractions. 1924.. . George Thomason and Glenn White suffered numerous gashes and bruises Friday night when the latter’s Star car struck a cement abutment as they were returning from Ver­ montville. Their lights had burned out and they were completing the trip with only a spotlight. 1925.. . The new oil station recently erected by S. E. Powers at the corner of South Main and Church streets is all finished and open for business, with Fred J. Fisher managing it, and Standard selling Oil products. 1926.. . A big automobile auction will be held in Nashville Wednesday evening, Aug. 11, with Col. H. J. Glenn, nationally known auctioneer, in charge. Three local auto dealers, Ralph H. Olin, Hurd’s Garage and Brandstetter Motor Sales, together will offer 35 nearly new used cars and trucks. 1928.. . A baseball game here between Nashville and Vermontville Sunday ended up in a free for all fight midway in the sixth inning.

Morris, who was elected at the regular school meeting but declined to serve. 1930.. .

The three-day celebration drew record crowds and was an outstanding success. 1931.. . Nashville State Bank failed to open for business Monday morning... Officials of the bank have explained that the institution is solvent but closed voluntarily due to a condition brought about by recently heavy withdrawals and slow collections. 1933.. .

August 6, 1984 — Page 6 'Teddy Bear' parade concludes children's story hour sessions by Susan Hinckley Parading happily down the sidewalk on the east side of Main Street, the entourage was guided by Friends of the Library volunteers. The children proviided "musical" accompaniment with horns and drums they had fashioned at an earlier Story Hour session. The 1984 Children’s Summer Story Hour at Putnam Public Library in Nashville ended Tuesday with a “Teddy Bear” parade down the east side of Main Street and back to the library for a sack lunch on the lawn. The Teddy Bear theme, which has been used throughout the four-week program, was prevalent in costuming and props for the happy throng of marchers. A noisy accompaniment was provided by drums and horns the youngsters had fashioned at an earlier session. Average attendance at the weekly Tuesday morning gatherings totaled about 60 children from age four through fourth grade. The Story Hour programs featured movies, stories, games and crafts, and were under direction of the local Friends of the Library. Summer Story Hour at Putnam Library is a traditional July event which dates back to the 1920s, and serves to acquaint children of the community with the benefits associated with library use. The Teddy Bear theme, used in the 1984 Summer Story Hour sessions at Putnam Public Library, also served for Tuesday's Grand Finale parade. These bears in a baby buggy enjoyed a ride downtown, thanks to marchers (from left) Jennifer Phenix, Holly Hoyle, and Casie Appelman.

This morning as I was coming home from church the following thoughts came to mind and I thought this would be a better way of saying what I had to say. Everything that is in balance works so well together. One example of this would be the earth, moon, and sun. From the moon and sun cycles we get our seasons, light and darkness. Each doing their part to keep us in balance here on the Earth, year after year. If just one was out of balance we could freeze or burn to death. The second example I thought of was people. I love to see a well balanced per­ son, onee who is physically, mentally and spiritually balanced. We have all seen COMMISSION ORDER (Under authority of Act 165, P. A. 1®29 1® and Act 230 P.A. 1925, as amended) STATEWIDE TROUT and SALMON REGULATIONS The Natural Resources Commission, at its meeting on July 13,1984, under the authority of Act 165, P.A. 1929, as amended and Act 230, P.A. 1925, as amended, ordered that for the period beginning September 1, 1984, and ending March 31, 1987, no person shall possess, take or attempt to take, any sspecies of trout or salmon from any of the waters of this state except by hook and line during the open seasons prescribed, and within the minimum size limits and maximum possession limits indicated below. Statewide open seasons on oil trout streams and desig­ nated trout lakes shall be from the last Saturday in April through September 30 (longer on waters designated by the Director for extended fishing under Act 165) on all trout and salmon. Statewide open seasons on all other inland lakes and the Great Lakes shall be any time for all trout and sal­ mon except on Lake Huron and its tributary streams and on Lake Michigan and its tributary streams the season on lake trout is from May 1 through August 15. Size limits shall be 8-inches in Lower Peninsula streams, l 7-inches on Upper Peninsula streams, and 10-inches on all lakes. The possession limit for trout and salmon shall be 5 fish singly or in combination but no more than 2 lake trout or splake from Lake Michigan and its tributary streams or 3 lake trout or splake from Lake Superior and Lake Huron and their tributary streams, except that an additional 5 brook or brown trout may be taken from streams from the last Satur­ day in April through September 30 only. In addition to one day's possession limit of salmon and trout, a person may possess an additional two day s posses-, sion limit of processed salmon. For the purposes of this Commission Order the term processed means: (a) Canned in a sealed container (b) Cured by smoking or drying (c) Frozen in a solid state Any processed salmon or trout aboard a vessel on the water or at dockside shall be included in the daily possession limit. those who think that physical exercise and health food is the only way to be a balanced person. Then again we have seen people who think education is the only way. They have many degrees after their name. The saying hee issso so “sprtua spiritually y hee issno no Earlthly good” could be said of others. When we find a aance person well balanced person wo who cares enough enough about about his his body body to exercise and eat right, who studys to obtain knowledge and who knows the Lord and exercises this faith, then we say “He’s well balanced.” It shows in his walk and talk. Our government must also be balanced. It’s easy when someone gives one dollar, we may spend one dollar. Our family would like to be one of many families who would like to pay the price to be a nation in balance. Let us be the generations to go without, to pay double, to take less. and set our government, federal, state, and local back in balance. Locally I’d like to suggest we insist on a balance. Stop saying, “well Detroit will get it if we don’t take it.” In our school millages we need balance. I suggest we rotate what millages go for. One increase for buildings and maintance, next in­ crease for busses and transportation, next for the students, new classes and class related items. Next salary y increases,, then rotate again. Keeping in mind we can only have bigger and better when the people have the money to give. Money will not make our people a strong nation. Money will not solve our school problems, money will not correct the out of balance cycle we have produced. We need a co-operative spirit in place of a selfish before we will ever see a balanced society and strong nation. Will you be willing to give more of yourself and take less to start a cycle back to a balanced society?

To promote germination, loosen the soil before seeding, firm it afterward and keep newly seeded areas moist. Sow seeds of improved turfgrass varieties that are compatible with the grass already growing there and adapted to the growing conditions. If you don’t know what’s growing in your lawn, the rule of thumb is to use im­ proved Kentucky bluegrass in sunny areas and a mixture of bluegrass and red fescue in shaded lawns. —Prune and destroy raspberry and blackberry canes that bore fruit this year. They won’t bear again but they could be harboring insects or disease organisms. -Avoid fertilizing trees and shrubs now.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. H3-No. 5 —Tuesday, August 14, 1984 Pixley tops GOP field for Castleton treasurers' nomination by Susan Hinckley Loretta Pixley, of 9180 Thornapple Lake Road, edged four other active candidates for the Republican nomination for Castleton Township treasurer in Tuesday’s primary race. Pixley, who is currently employed as a bus driver for the Maple Valley School System, drew 45 votes to 36 each for Carol A. Tobias and Patricia Lenz, 34 for Warren K. Travoli, and 20 for Diana L. Kuempel. The name of a sixth candidate - Kathleen Brzycki - appeared on the Aug. 7 ba Hott although she of­ ficially withdrew from the race last month. Pixley will run unopposed in the November general election for the seat being vacated by the retirement of Geneva Brumm, who has held the post for 31 years. All other candidates on Tuesday’s Castleton ballot will appear on the November ballot. Township Supervisor Justin W. Cooley is running unopposed as is Clerk Sharon Bishop. Both are Republicans. Two GOP candidates for trustee incument Nelson Rasey and newcomer Glenn P. Godbey will vie with Democrat Bernard Hoffman for two trustee seats on the Castelton Township board. Not seeking reelection to his seat is Trustee Donald Pixley, husband of the treasurer-elect. In Maple Grove Township on Tuesday Rodney A. Crothers, a newcomer to the politican scene, topped former Barry County Commissioner and former Township Supervisor William Schantz, 81-44, for the Republican nomination for the supervisor post. That position is being vacated by Monte Allen, who garnered 71 votes Tuesday in his bid for a trustee seat as a Republican. The other GOP nomination for Maple Grove trustee will go to Gale Wetzel, an incumbent who received 86 votes in the primary race.

M.V. FFA Teacher resigns position, cites lack of support by Susan Hinckley Rob Schwalm, who has been Vocational Agriculture instructor and Future Farmers of America advisor at Maple Valley Schools since 1982, last week resigned his position to accept a similar post in Stockbridge. “The pay was apart of the decision,” said Schwalm, “but job security was the major consideration.” He said Stockbridge is a com­ munity that, as a whole, supports education. “When you have a situation where the board of education can’t even get totally behind their school, the young people in that school are going to suffer,” commented Schwalm. “It may not look like it on the surface, but the real reason Maple Valley is working is because of the extra effort by its teachers.” He noted that he had put in 500 extra hours annually, for no additional pay, for the past two years, and at­ tributes the success of the local Vo-Ag program to that contribution. “If the pay scale could have been im­ proved and some of the Vocational Added Cost dollars used to supply the ag person with a full summer program, I would have stayed (at Maple Valley),” stated Schwalm. When he took over the local Vo-Ag program in 1982, there were only two classes offered. In the 1983-84 school year that number expanded to three, and the upcoming year will . provide four classes. “While nationwide enroUments in Vo-Ag have been declining, Maple Valley students have shown an increasing awareness in the value of Vo-Ag as a training program to the 62,000 jobs which are available statewide each year in agriculture and agribusiness,” noted Sch­ walm. He pointed out some of the projects that have helped in the expansion of the local VoAg program: more in­ volvement in “Food for America” programs and state and national FFA conventions; a classroom program on engines and farm mechanics; an active in-class dairy program to make students aware of how and why dairy works in today’s world; active farm management studies that teach not only management but also help students become aware of how to borrow and operate on borrowed capital. Schwalm said that on Aug. 6, the day he submitted his resignation at Maple Valley, was both “a sad and happy time for him”. “It’s hard to work with such an enthusiastic group of Local girls team celebrates with pizza feast Celebrating their 3-game tournament win last week with a pizza feast is the Maple Leaf Florist team of Nashville Girls' Little League.

Exhibitors will bring cars from all over western Michigan. Anyone driving in a vehicle 25 years or older will be admitted free and there will also be a large swap meet with many vendors present. John Patterson, park director, touts this as “one of the largest and best auto shows in western Michigan. This is our largest special event, and a major fun­ draiser for the Historic Village,” he said. “In the past, we have had several hundred automobiles on the premises. Because we are able to use the historical village as our setting, as does Greenfield Village, we are able to create an ex­ cellent opportunity to look at the vehicles of America’s past.” Historic Charlton Park Village & Museum is a living history village located on the beautiful Thornapple River. Sixteen historic buildings and a large collection of artifacts comprise this unique resource. The Village buildings and craft shop will also be staffed and func­ tioning, giving an understanding of life at the turn of the century.

Swimmers will not be banned from the North Main Street bridge, promised village officials at Thur­ sday’s meetings. Complaints about the youths congregating at the bridge to swim in the Thornapple River have been received from nearby residents, said police Sgt. Gene Koetje, but mostly because of the foul language being used by the youngsters. He said he had discussed the matter with the parents concerned, and hoped that would clear up the situation. Village President John Hughes said he has no intentions of proposing an ordinance to prohibit river swimming in Nashville. “We don’t have that much in this community for the kids to do,” he noted, and pointed out that diving off the Main Street bridge is a local tradition dating back to the very early years of the village. Nashville’s water tower on West Casgrove Street had been drained and sand­ blasted by last Thursday, in preparation for painting of the interior surface. That job plus refilling and draining the tank again for necessary state testing is expected to take about two more weeks. During that time, residents in the outlying areas of the vilalge may experience Nashville taxpayers received a brief reprieve Thursday when the village council extended the deadline for payment of property taxes from August 20 to September 28. “The only thing we are foregoing (in extending the deadline) is the collection of (late payment) penalties,” noted Village President John Hughes. He said this year’s collections are running behind those for 1983 at this time. Some $40,000 has already been collected, said Hughes, with roughly $74,000 still outstanding. After the September deadline, taxes will be turned over to the county for collection. Bids will be opened at the next meeting of Nashville’s village council, August 23, on several blocks of new blacktopping. Streets to be paved are Philadelphia from Bridge Street to M-66; East Street, south to the village limits; Middle Street from Reed to the river; Casgrove, east from State to the top of Peck’s Hill (near the municipal landfill); and School Street, adjacent to -Fuller Street elementary school.

Trustee Gerald Kent reported at Thursday’s meeting that he had in­ spected inside of the tower and was “surprised” to see the number of pits that had developed on the interior surface because it “was never painted inside when it was new.” The tank was installed about eight years ago as part of Nashville’s water expansion project. Service Enterprise, Inc. of Evansville, Indiana is handling the $1,380 job of painting the tower’s interior.

Myers, Florida, and her daughter, Diane Ahrens of New Carlisle, Ohio, were Tuesday callers on your reporter. The two had been overnight visitors in Grand Rapids to call on Mrs. Mc­ Cleary’s sister, Beatrice Buchanan, who had recently been hospitalized for a week. (She is now home and im­ proving.) Dorothy and Beatrice are daughters of the late Chancy and Mina Hicks of Nashville. A third sister, Edythe Klinkner, lives in Arizona, and another — Madeline Culp — is deceased. Mrs. McCleary, who with her other two sisters is a devoted fan of the Memories of the Past column, brought along an interesting photo for us to use in a future story. It was taken in June 1923 on the lawn between the Methodist Church and the old par­ sonage and shows some 50 children in costume for what Dorothy recalls was a Children’s Day pageant — the most elaborate such event she could recall being staged at the church. Mrs. McCleary was able to name over 40 of the youngsters in the picture. It will appear in an upcoming Memories column, with our thanks to her for sharing it with our readers. While in Nashville, Mrs. McCleary and her daughter also called on Charles and Leila Furlong, who were longtime friends of By Susan Hinckley Dorothy’s parents. She had not seen Dorothy in 30 years, said Mrs. Furlong, and they had a delightful visit. Mrs. McCleary had missed fin­ ding them at home on a couple earlier trips to Nash­ ville. Other visitors at the Furlong residence that day were their granddaughter, Mrs. Joan Rumsey of Pot­ terville, and her daughter, Angela. Callers earlier in the week on the Furlongs were Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Krammin of Hastings and Mr. and Mrs. Claude Demond of Thornapple Lake. Ronna Boucher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tim Boucher of Nashville, and Tim Heacock, son of former local residents Lester and Mary Heacock, have been visiting the past week in Nashville from Bellaire Bluffs, Florida, seeing family and friends in the area. Mrs. Ruth Brown of rural Nashville returned Wed­ nesday from a five-day trip to Marquette Heights, near Peoria, Illinois, to visit her daughter and son-in-law, Pat and Lawrence Orr. She made the trip via Amtrak from Battle Creek. A highlight of her visit was having dinner with the Orrs at a Japanese restaurant where the food was prepared and cooked at the same special table on which it was served. Ruth said she managed to eat everything on the menu with chopsticks, except the lettuce salad. Also during her trip, Mrs. Brown had the opportunity to watch corn being detassled with special equipment which she had never seen before. The operation was in connection with production of seed corn.

Mina is now the only surviving member of her immediate family. She 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 grandnieces and grand-nephews. In past milestone-birthday interviews with the Maple Valley News, Mrs. Barnes, with a twinkle in her eye that bespeaks her jolly nature, attributed her longevity to always “being happy.” An obvious lesson for all of us.

News account. “Minutes later, the most hilarious impromptu celebration in the history of our town was under way.” Soon, Main Street was lined with spectators. Parading up and down the thoroughfare were back­ firing autos, boys on bicycles towing clattering tin pans, and all sorts of vehicles full of cheering passengers. The din of auto horns continued far past dark. The roar was drowned out from time to time by the scream of the fire siren, as someone kept sneaking back to the fire station to press the button. “Probably many cities outdid Nashville in celebrating the end of the most awful war in world’s history,” commented News editor-publisher Donald Hinderliter, “but none of them could have surpassed Our Town in anything but volume.” He noted that many people seemed to be at first stunned by the magnitude of the news that had been momentarily expected for four days. (On August 10, the Japanese government had made overtures of peace by inquiring into the fate of Emperor Hirohito if Japan should unconditionally surrender to the Allies.) When the news of the actual surrender was received the evening of August 14, many local residents suddenly began to develop a celebrating mood several hours later. “Lights burned in many a Nashville home after mid­ night,” observed The News, “and the sound of revelry waged up and down the streets.” In many homes, however, news of the war’s end brought only a solemn thanksgiving. “While the gay throngs crowded the sidewalk in front of Central Park, the community honor roll nearby stood out as a reminder of the nine Nash­ ville men who have died in service and of the scores still far from home,” noted The The local post office, at right in this late 1940’s photo, opened for only a few hours on Wednesday morning following the night-long V-J Day celebration in Nashville. e. Rural ura ma mail carrers carriers took oo the e day ay o. off. Practically raccay every business usness pace place in town was closed Wednesday. The post office was located then in the McDerby Block on the southeast corner of the Main and Washington streets intersection. Memories of V-J Day are closely linked to this Honor Roll which graced Nashville's Central Park during World War II. The local Lions Club launched the sign project, while the village footed the bill for most of the materials and lettering of names by a Battle Creek sign painter. During the war, he made four or five ad­ ditions to the list. Eventually, to accomodate the ever-increasing 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. By the time V-J Day arrived, nine had been marked with gold stars. Nashville's Central Park, seen here in the 1920's, was the center of the local celebration of V-J Day, marking the end of the "most awful war in the world's his­ tory, reported hte Nashville News in its account of the historic event.

Now, for some reason, Ed Sampson, our township supervisor, says “no”. At a village council meeting held on August 2, 1984, Sampson stated that we must have a police ad­ ministrative board. This board is to have full control over themselves and all police department decisions, including the spending of money in the village police budget and hiring or firing of police personnel. This board is to include himself as township supervisor and two council members. Sampson also stated, if this was not done, he will recommend to the township board that the township withdraw its $5,000 annual contribution for police services which the village is providing to the township. He would then have the Eaton County Sheriff’s Department service, the township. The village is required to follow the laws as set forth in the village charter. The charter states that the village council governs the police department of the village. Sampson has stated he doesn’t care about the charter. He says the police department is the township police, not a village police department. There is nothing in the records to support these claims, in fact, the Nov. 19, 1980 council minutes state just the opposite... That we have established a village police department under full supervision of the village council. The village does not need a police administrative board. ACTION-ADS FOR SALE: Four Holstein steers, approx. 500 lbs. each, $225 each. 726-1070, Rob Sch­ walm. KXtl The original police board, established over four years ago, was to handle the complaints of the citizens of the area... nothing more; whereas, decisions per­ taining to policy and operation were approved by village council. This has been, and is, the un­ derstanding of the council for the way the police board is to operate. What the village does need is more money to be contributed by the township for the police services they are getting. Due to increasing costs and the establishment of police department full-time employees, the village police budget is currently $55,000 annually. Sampson feels the village provides 25 percent of their police services to the township. However, police reports indicate that the village has provided 40 percent of their police ser­ vices to the township overall since 1982. Also, in terms of cost, the township is a larger area to service requiring significant amounts of time for patrols, property checks, etc. A 40 percent share of the police budget would be $22,000... instead of the $5,000 the township currently pays. Yet, when Sampson was asked if the township would contribute $20,000, he said the township would not. It certainly appears that Sampson wants a lot to say about how the village police are to be run, but is unwilling to pay a fair share for the service rendered. If the township chooses not to provide the village an appropriate amount of funds for the police department budget next year, the village may have no choice but to cut the budget back to what they can afford. This may mean providing police services to the village only and possibly on a part-time basis.

Cannon ended with an encore oftwo songs by a man he called “The Best Rock and Roller of All Time”, Chuck Berry. “School Days” and “Roll Over Beethoven” left the crowd yelling for more. Proceeding Vee and Cannon ws Bobby Helms who had three big hits in 1957, “Fraulein”, “Jingle Bell Rock”, and “My Special Angel” received special applause from the first notes, especially the latter hit which brought the audience to their feet to else his portion of the, beautiful afternoon.

Main St., Vermontville, Mi., to receive testimony and discuss the proposed additional 1984 Township general operating millage rate. In order to fund the Township's proposed budget and to maintain essential Township services, the Township finds it necessary to raise the millage rate.

This will provide an estimated 6.7% increase in Township operating property tax revenues, (individual property taxes may increase greater than or less than the estimated average.)

A declining maple may become progressively worse each season, and leaves may linger indefinitely or die become smaller and fewer. within a year or two of the Terminal branch growth appearance of the first slows or stops altogether, symptoms. Maples are subject to a and twigs and eventually whole branches may die, number of environmental beginning at the top and stresses, and it’s been suggested that these stresses progressing downward. Leaf scorch — the browing -- such as drouth, air exposure to and drying of leaf edges — pollution, and abnormally large seed deicing salt and soil com­ crops are sometimes paction - may play a part in associated with maple maple decline. Girdling roots, damage to the trunk and roots by lawn mowers and cars-, and sunscald - the splitting of bark on young trees - are also suspect. Damage to a tree’s root system, through either mechanical injury or disease, can also affect the tree’s vigor, as can repeated severe defoliation by insects, disease or hail. Research in Wisconsin has turned up a couple of canker­ causing disease organisms that may play a part in maple decline. The cankers girdle the trunk and so in­ terrupt the circulation of water, nutrients and -sugar through the tree. 'It’s usually very difficult, Krizek says, to sort out the cause or combination of causes that bring about maple decline in a particular tree. Even if a cause can be isolated, there’s rarely much the homeowner or city forester can do to prevent further decline. You can take some steps to keep trees healthy, however, 157 S.

FEDERAL AID FOR MINERS SOUGHT - A $1.2 million grant to aid unemployed miners in the Upper Pehinsula and in eight Lower Peninsula counties has been requested by Governor Blanchard. The funds would be used to retrain 850 miners, or assist them in finding other work. MICHIGAN STATE POLICE 1983 ANNUAL REPORT ON CRIME - Significant drops in the crime rate during 1983 were reported in every Michigan city with a population over 100,000 except for Ann Arbor, the 1983 Annual Report on Crime indicates. The largest decrease in the crime rate was reported in the Lansing area, where an 8.8 percent drop was recorded. At the same time, rural crime dropped 25.9 per­ cent in 1983, according to the State Police. HANDICAPPERS CAMPGROUND BEING CON­ STRUCTED BY MCC - The Michigan Conservation Corps is developing Michigan’s first Michigan State Forest cam­ pground designed for handicapped citizens. Located in the Lake Dubonnet State Forest, southwest of Traverse City, the campground construction includes several barrier-free facilities. WORKFORCE GROWS IN JULY... BUT UNEMPLOYMENT DROPS - The Michigan Employment Security Commission reports that 29,000 people entered the state’s available work force in July, but only 26,000 could find jobs. However, Michigan’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped from 11.6 to 11.5 percent. The increase in the labor force has pushed the total to an all time high of 4.48 million available workers. However, 506,000 Michigan residents still find themselves unable to find work. MED BOARD LOOKS AT AMPHETAMINES The Michigan Board of Medicine is considering amending the state’s amphetamine rules to restrict the use of Desoxyn and ban the use of Preludin, a “sympathomimetic amine” or “pep pill”, in the treatment of obesity. Michigan ranks first in the nation in the sale of these two drugs, which leads the Med Board to believe that their prescription is being abused. EWING WELL DRILLING Your dependable drillers in Eaton & Barry Counties Sale Price SalePrice At planting time,-remove roots that have grown around the tree’s root ball so they do not girdle the trunk later, and make sure no plastic rope, wire or other nondeteriorating materials are left around the roots or trunk. Fertilizing trees about once every two years, in either the early spring before growth begins or in late fall after trees are dormant, and watering heavily during drouth reduces the overall stress on trees. Newly transplanted maples need water, but no fertilizer. Prevent wounds to trees whenever possible, Krizek urges. Wrap or shade the trunks of young, thin-barked trees to prevent sunscald in the winter. Mow around trees carefully, or mulch around them to avoid the need to mow and the danger of injuring the bark, Prune trees only as needed, and avoid removing large branches whenever possible. Small pruning wounds heal much more quickly and more completely than do larger wounds. Repair storm-damaged trees as much as possible to prevent the entry of disease­ causing organisms, decay­ causing fungi and wood­ damaging insects, Avoid changes in soil grade around trees. Filling in around trees tends to induce drouth, reduce soil aeration and lead to invasion ofthe roots by decay-causing organisms. Soil removal removes some roots and injuries others, opening them to invasion by disease organisms that can cause trunk and root rot. If you must remove a maple becaus of decline, do not replace it with another maple. Try another species or plant your maple in another, more appropriate location. S-yr./4O,OOO-mi.'

HOURS: Tues.-Fri. 10-6 Sat. 10-2 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, August 14, 1984_ Page 15 Health Dept, urges ‘air students immunized The Barry-Eaton District Health Department is joining Governor James J, Blanchard, the Detroit Tigers, state health department and all other local health departments throughout Michigan in an effort to have all students entering school and colleges properly immunized. Governor Blanchard has declared August as “Im­ munization Action Month” and, along with the Detroit Tigers, Dr. Edwin Larkin, director of the local health department, is hitting hard on the theme, “You’re Out! Without Your Shots!” The theme links baseball with the state law which requires proof of immunizations for all children entering school or face ex­ clusion. “Sparky” Anderson, manager of the Tigers, has been named Honorary Chairman of “Immunization Action Month”. He has contributed a television message as has pitcher Jack Morris. “Michigan has ex­ perienced a measles out­ break this year of over 400 confirmed cases - more than any other state. This number may not seem significant but with the availability of the measles vaccine and the possible complications of measles, even one case is too many,” said the BarryEaton Health Dept. “We want to make certain that all students, kindergarten through 12 and our college students, have the proper protection against measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and polio. “We urge Barry County parents to check the immunizations status of their children now, before classes begin.” Call your doctor or the Barry-Eaton District Health Department and please remember “You’re Out! Without Your Shots!” Hallelujah Jubilaires in concert Aug. 19 The Hallelujah Jubilaires will be the featured gospel musical group in concert at the Hastings Assembly of God Church on Sunday, Aug. 19, at 7 p.m. They will be ministering in music during the early part of the con­ cluding revival service with Evangelist Charles Plunkett from W. Monroe, La. The group is made up of several area people in­ cluding Dan and Gladys Everett, Gerald Bestrom, Louie Edwards, Deneen Lepard and Jeff Davis. The Hastings Assembly of God Church is located at 1674 W. State Rd., just past the golf course and Pastor James Campbell cordially invites the public to attend.

Flagpole dedicated at Mulberry Fore in memory of Carl Aspinall by Susan Hinckley Family members and friends of the late Carl Aspinall of Nashville gathered at Mulberry Fore golf course Wednesday evening to dedicate a new flagpole in his memory. The pole was presented by his family, and it later will have a memorial plaque affixed to it. An avid golfer, Aspinall spent many hours on the greens at Mulberry Fore. “He lived here,” remarked his widow Margaret laughingly, as she explained why the family felt the golf course flagpole was a fitting memorial to Carl. Rev. Lester DeGroot, pastor of Nashville Baptist Church, presided at the Wednesday evening FLAGPOLE, cont, page 2 man in critical condition to a stop. Barrick was taken to Pennock Hospital in Hastings by the Nashville Ambulance, then tran­ sferred to Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids.

The accident occurred at 4:50 a.m. on a straight part of the highway.

Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp is located 15-miles north of Muskegon in the Manistee National Forest and is one of the laragest summer schools of the arts in the United States. Nearly 8,000 students enroll each year in one or more programs such as art, photography, band, choir, dance, orchestra, jazz, piano, organ, harp and theatre. Electives, recreation and other camp activities complete the students’ daily schedule. Labeling Composite Photo Almost Complete Duska Morawski, who is working at Putnam Public Library in Nashville this summer under Michigan Summer Youth Cores oroaram. has been busy with a variety of tasks from sorting books to weeding flower beds.

She took second place in the 3,000meter event, the con­ troversial race in which American runner Mary Decker tripped, reports Pastor Don Roscoe of Nash­ ville, who has headed many of the race events in this area. He recalls that in the 1982 run here, Wendy, who has since married, won the Women’s Division and was third overall in the five-mile race. A 10-mile run also was featured in the 1982 Ver­ montville Syrup event, which started at the high school and came through Nashville, circling back to Vermontville via M-66 and State Road. Former local residents who were on hand for some of the track and field events at the recent Olympics in L.A. were Gordon and Susan (Latta) Gutchess, who lives at Calabasas, California. They had seats Saturday in the sixth row back from the finish line, and were seated next to California’s Senator Alan Cranston, an early 1984 GOP presidential candidate who dropped out of the primary race. The Gut­ chesses enjoyed attending what they consider to be a “once in a lifetime” event. Susan is the daughter of Petie Latta of Nashville. Gordon’s parents are Mr. and Mrs. Ray Gutchess of Vermontville. A business associate of his gave Gordon tickets to the Olympic games. First official practice for Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High runners on the cross-country team will begin at 3 p.m. August 27. Volunteer coach Rev. Don Roscoe said any student interested in par­ ticipating should be at the high school tennis court at that time, ready to run. We were so sorry to learn of the death last Tuesday of Mabie Adams, who passed away at her residence on Barryville Road. Your reporter had visited Mabie and her husband, Leslie, several times in the past few years to help on various Memories stories. Mabie was a lovely, cheerful lady who always maintained a sweet disposition despite her failing health. In our'conversations with her, she had told us many interesting things about the early days of her youth. We recall, especially, the struggles she had getting into Nashville daily for high school classes. Mabie remembered those horse-and-buggy days with humor. For many years, she was a piano teacher and church pianist. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Ostroth, Mabie was born in the home in which she died, and resided all of her married life in that same "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? Not what did the newspaper say but how many were sorry when he passed away?" Anonymous FUNERAL DIRECTORS VOGT FUNERAL HOME IN NASHVILLE PHONE 852-0840 place. She and her husband, Leslie, who survives, marked their 64th wedding anniversary earlier this year. Services for Mabie were conducted Saturday at Vogt Funeral Home. Janice Jarrard of ^Nashville is pleased to announce the arrival of a grandson, born August 2, to her daughter, Kim, who is stationed at Rota, Spain. The young lad, who weighed in at 5 lbs. 5!4 ozs., has been named Eric Wayne. His grandfather is the late Ward “Jim”. .Jarrard of Nashville. A reunion of the Rex Hampton family was held Sunday, August 12, at Put­ nam Park in Nashville. In addition to the local folks attending, others came from Hawks, Michigan; Detroit and Grand Rapids. In all, 54 were present for the event. Mary Castelein of Nash­ ville returned home August 9 from an 18-day trip to Germany. She accompanied her daughter, Janet Hoekstra of Grand Rapids, on a flight from that city, with the express purpose of visiting her grandson, E-5 Donald P. Hoekstra, who is stationed with the U.S. Army hear Frankfort, meeting his German-born wife, Linda, and seeing their baby daughter, Samantha, who celebrated her first birthday during the visit of her grandmother and great grandmother. While in Germany, the visitors en­ joyed a boat ride down the Rhine, which Mary describes as a “busy, busy river.” Along the way,,stops were made at many small villages. Also on the trip, they visited several large cities and enjoyed seeing many beautiful churches. The weather, Mary reports, was similar to ours but not quite so humid. Her grand­ son and family live in the heart of Germany’s wine­ making country, so they had an opportunity to watch the operation at nearby wineries during their stay. Back in New York City, Janet and Mary were greeted at the airport by the latter’s son, Richard McCallum of Califon, New Jersey, and spent three days with the McCallums. Their arrival back in America coincided with Mary’s birthday, August 6. During their New Jersey stay, the two visitors and Mr. and Mrs. McCallum CtOVI^’ NEEDED!!

FULLER STREET FOOTBALL FIELD Marilyn Chaffee 852-0909 • • By Susan Hinckley attended the musical “Gotta Getaway” at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. An outstanding 20-minute Wurlitzer concert during intermission was an added highlight of the show. Mary and Janet arrived back at Kent County Airport in Grand Rapids on August 9. Anyone who has lived around Nashville for any length of time probably spotted an error in a caption of a Main Street photo published in last week’s Memories story on the V-J Day celebration in the village. The post office was the building on the left in the photo, not the right as in­ dicated in the caption. We knew the difference, but had a temporary “short circuit”. We had two people tell us that the sailor pictured in last week’s paper was not Carl Lentz, Jr., but we were right on that one! The two had said that they thought it looked like Leon Ackett. We called Leon, and he said it is not he. In fact, he could confirm that it was, indeed, Carl Lentz, Jr. By the way, there is a photo of Leon in uniform in the display of Nashville area World War II servicemen with whom former local teacher Bunny Shaw corresponded during the conflict. Mrs. Shaw recently presented the collection to Putnam Public Library. Her notation on our photo showed that it was Carl Lentz, Jr. — and in addition one can spot the unusual architecture of the Lentz home on Washington Street in the background of the picture; The house features a small' second story porch at the rear, sort of an upper balcony. “I hadn’t realized just how long the Barry County Fair had been going on,” wrote former local resident Guy Howell of Tucson, Arizona, in a letter commenting on our July 31 Memories about early local fairs. “Incidentally, somewhere I have a copy of the Bushel of Peaches and the Barrel of Fun pictures (used in the story). I believe they were post cards. When I was young and had a car, I went to every fair or carnival within a 50-mile radius (of Nashville).” The Barry County event dates back to 1852, according to early issues of The Nashville News. The latest contribution to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came last week from Adolph and Rose Douse in memory of Ora (Bud) Hinckley and Robert Kalnbach. Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Woodard and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Rathbun also gave a contribution in memory of Ora • Hinckley; Donations to the fund to add a proposed $50,000 Children’s Wing to the present facility may be made at the library or mailed to Post Office Box C, Nashville, 49073. Names of donors and of those designated in contributions will be inscribed on special scrolls to be displayed in the new room. Received a nice note from Bernita (Bowman) Elder of Albuquerque, New Mexico, last week, expressing appreciation for sending her the July 24th issue of the Maple Valley News featuring coverage of the recent reunion of Nashville’s Class of 1931, to which the Class of 1930 also was in­ vited. “The Wheels of Time reversed as I perused your front page covering the Classes of ’30 and ’31’,” wrote Mrs. Elder. “I was graduated in the Class of 1930. My sister, Pauline Bowman, received her sheepskin in ’31.” The paper was sentto Mrs. Elder at the request of her sister, now Pauline Work, who lives at Farmington Hills and was in attendance at the July 22nd event in Nashville’s Com­ munity Center in Putnam Park. Ray Hinckley of Nashville was honored at a family birthday picnic Wednesday evening at Putnam Park. Present in addition to the guest of honor and his wife were Mrs. Ona Hinckley, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Hinckley, and Mrs. Petie Latta, all of Nashville. E ighty-nine-year-old Clifford Brooks of Nashville, whose life was saved four weeks ago by the quick action of staff members at the local COA Senior Citizen Nutrition Site who ad­ ministered CPR and sum­ moned medical help, passed away last week while camping near Baldwin with a group, of retired veterans who live at the Lingoes nursing home. He was an avid gardener, and specialized in raising beautiful flowers which he loved to share with others. Mr. Brooks was a veteran of World War I, having served with the U.S. Army in Germany and France, and was a 1913 graduate of Nash­ ville High School. In 1981, he was honored as the oldest NHS alumnus present at the annual Maple Valley alumnibanquet. Services for Clif­ ford were conducted Sunday from Vogt Funeral Home. Clarence and Margaret Reid of Nashville recently took Jean and Ernie Whithy of Kalamo to the Sveden House in Lansing to celebrate the Withys’ wedding anniversary. Sunday, the Reids were dinner guests of her parents, Vere and Olive Robinson of Bellevue. The Mayo-Evans Birthday Club met August 9 at the home of Loretta Pixley of Nashville. Theda Gardner assisted the hostess in serving a nice luncheon to the 13 members who at­ tended the event. A business meeting was conducted by Una Callahan, club president. Get well cards were signed for Josephine Mapes and Jennie Treat. Mrs. Pixley gave pictures to the club that were taken at the annual “Secret Pal” party last month at Bellevue. Door prizes were won by Nina Hanchett and Alta Linsley. Lorene Loomis won the flower fund prize. Bingo and game-playing finished out the afternoon. Next meeting of the club is Sep­ tember 13 at the home of Vanessa Carpenter, with Una Callahan assisting. Mrs. Fern Hawblitz of Nashville spent last week visiting relatives in Battle Creek, and accompanied her sister, Mrs. Erwin Bruce of that city, on a two-day trip to Pinckney to visit the latter’s daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Knapp and son.

To Our Editor: A question for the cemetery board — has it been my personal un­ fortunate experience with the board or is the lack of care the current general policy? The condition of our “perpetual care” ground is appalling this year. First, it was too much water (perpetual care suffered for the Memorial Day Celebration). Then it was a lack of water (a broken main) i.e. for foundation construction'and general care. Now it seems to be lack of time and concern for retaining the “perpetual care” image. Maybe we need a full time employer who cares about the job. What ARE we getting for our money? Janet Kalnbach Nashville For Your Insurance Needs ...on • LIFE • HEALTH • IRA • HOME and • AUTO call...

SOURS, Secretary Nashville Zoning Board of Appeals NOTICE. NEW TIME The regular time for the “What it takes to become a country music star” could easily be a seminar based on John Anderson’s and Kathy Ford’s concerts Sunday at Sandyland Park, Nashville of the North. John Anderson possesses two of the traits needed to make it big in country music: a distinctive voice and songs that have chart potential. Anderson, along with such individuals as Ricky Skaggs is one of the new breed of country vocalists who have brought the old time “twang” back into style. John first appeared at Sandyland Park in June of 1980. At that time, his first Warner Brothers album was new and his first hits “She Just Started Likin’ Cheating Songs” and “Your Lying Blue Eyes” were just becoming popular. What really caught the ear of local fans back then was his unique vocal quality, compared by many to the likes of Merle Haggard and Lefty Frizzel. Now four-years later, Anderson has a number of chart-topping songs to go along with his distinctive voice. Sunday John didn’t talk much, choosing instead to let his music speak for him. Her performed all of his big hits including such audience favorites as “Old Chunk of Coal,” ‘‘Chicken Truck,” “1959, “I Love You a Thousand Ways,” and “Would You Catch a Fallin’ Star.” Anderson closed the concert with his new single, “She Sure’s Got a Way With My Heart” and his 1983 song of the year “Swinging.” Opening act Kathy Ford John Anderson performed all of his big hits for Sunday's Sandyland audience. (Maple Valley News photos by Steve Reid) also has a trait necessary to make it big in music, a warm stage presence that puts the audience at ease. This along with her expertise on such instruments as fiddle; guitar, and keyboards made her a favorite with Sunday’s crowd. Sunday’s concert with John Anderson brought back special memories for twomembers of Kathy’s band, Bill Fuller on lead guitar and Jimmy Sneed on drums. They are former members of a local band, Country Fever, that backed Anderson here at Sandyland four-years ago. Closing out Sandyland Park’s 1984 season will be Loretta Lynn who will perform two Labor Day concerts on Sept. 3.

Honest measurements • Delivered Ley’s Michigan Firewood WHITE CLOUD, Ml. 49349 Evenings Only... 616-689-6290 Discussed below are some of the more common nutrient deficiency symptoms Nitrogen- In corn, nitrogen deficiency appears as yellowing that starts at the tip and moves along the middle of the leaf Growth wiH be slow with light color Premature maturity and poor pollination are symp­ toms of nitrogen deficiency. Phosphorus Phosphorus is generally associated with a reddish purpling of leaves, especially in young plants Slow growth and dwarfed plants winch have small leaves are other symptoms Poor seed set has been associated with phosphorus deficiency. Potassium Potash deficiency appears as a luring or drying along the tips and edges of the lower leaves. Slow growth, lodging and poor seed quality are associated with potassium deficiency. In legumes it appears as white spots on the outer edges of the upper leaflets. Magnesium - In corn, magnesium deficiency symptoms first appear as inteveinal chlorsis in the older leaves. Symptoms often appear early in the season in cold wet soils and may disappear as the soil warms up and dries. Severe deficiency may cause stunting. In oats and wheat, the older leaves show a distinc­ tive “chainlike” yellow streaking. In potatoes, the loss of green color begins at the tips and margins of the older leaves and progresses between the veins toward the center of the leaflets. The leaves become brown and very brittle during the ad­ vanced stages of the deficiency. Other responsive crops in Michigan are tomatoes, celery, cauliflower, musk­ melons, peas and rye. .. Manganese - Most crops deficient in manganese are yellowish to olive-green in color. Potatoes show reduced leaf size. Grain crops have a soft limber growth which often appears diseased. In oats, this may be described as “gray specks.” Wheat and barley often show colorless spots. Corn plants do not show a marked symptom but, when compared with a normal lef, the deficient leaf is lighter green-colored and has parallel, yellowish strips. Manganese deficient plants, such as soybeans, beans, sugar beets, celery, cucumbers and cabbage, show marked yellowing between the leaf veins; the veins themselves remain dark green. This pattern is similar to iron deficiency but • is more general oyer the plant. Iron deficiency!: is most pronounced on new growth. ,In sugar beets and pitatoes, chlorosis begins in the younger leaves. Later, gray and black freckling may develop along the veins. Manganese deficiency is sometimes confused with nitrogen deficiency. To separate the two, make a nitrogen tissue test. Manganese deficient plants usually test higher than normal in nitrate-nitrogen. Zinc - Bean plants deficient in zinc first become light green. When the deficiency is severe, the area between the veins of the leaves becomes pale green and then yellow’ near the tips and outer edges. In early stages of deficiency, the leaves are deformed, dwarfed and crumpled. In later stages, they look like they have been killed by sun scald. On zinc deficient plants, the terminal blossoms set pods which drop off. delaying maturity. Zinc deficiency in corn appears as a yellow striping of the leaves. Areas of the leaf near the stalk may develop a general white-to­ y el low discoloraton. In severe deficiency, the plants have shortened internodes and the lower leaves show’ a red streak about one-third of the way from the leaf margin. Plants growing in dark sandy or organic soils usually show brown or purple nodal tissues when the stalk is split. This is particularly noticeable in the lower nodes. Onions and potatoes are also susceptible to zinc deficiency. Sulfur Sulfur deficient plants generally have a light green color which resembles nitrogen deficiency. The most likely crops to show a sulfur deficiency are those grown in the sandy, low organic matter soils in northern Michigan. Legumes, especially those like alfalfa with a high sulfur requirement, will normally be the first crops to respond to sulfur fertilization. Field beams not adequately fertilized with nitrogen have been shown to respond to sulfur fertilizer. Corn, small grains and other grasses are less likely to show sulfur deficiency. Boron - Boron deficiency in crops causes a breakdown of the growing tip tissue or a shortening of the terminal growth. This may appear as a resetting of the plant. Boron deficiency and leafhopper damage in alfalfa are often confused. Boron deficiency shows up as a yellowish to reddish-yellow discoloration of the upper leaves, short nodes and few flowers. Growing tips of alfalfa, may die, with regrowth coming after a new shoot is initiated at a lower axil. Leafhopper damage shows up as a V-shaped yellowing of the affected leaves and may appear on any or all parts of the plant; the growing tip is usually normal and the plant may support abundant flowers. •Often, when the soil is dry and plant growth is retarded, both boron deficiency and leafhopper injury occur in the same field. In sugar beets, the first symptoms are white, netted chapping of upper blade surface or wilting of tops. Later, if the deficiency becomes severe, transverse (crosswise) cracking of petioles, death of the growing point, and heart rot of the root develop. Acute deficiency in corn appears on the newly-formed leaves as elongated, watery or transparent stripes; later, the leaves become white and die. Growing points also die and, in severe cases, sterility is common. If ears develop develop, they may show corky brown bands at the base of the kernels. Beets, turnips, rutabagas, cauliflower and celery are all susceptable to boron deficiency.

The council at that session •awarded a street paving project to Reith-Riley Construction Company of Battle Creek, the lowest of three bidders on the job. Spartan Asphalt of Holt had offered to do the job for $45,340; Capital Excavating of Mason bid $39,692; and Reith-Riley will do it for $36,886. The paving, which is expected to be completed before the end of this year, calls for blacktopping of Philadelphia Street from Bridge Street to M-66; East Street south to the village limits (near Lakeview Cemetery); Middle Street from Reed to the river; Casgrove east from State Street to the top of Peck’s Hill; and School Street, adjacent to the Fuller Street elementary school. In other action, the council accepted a $65 offer from Nashville Locker Service for a used air conditioning unit in village hall. It was the higher of two bids received on the unit, which was recently replaced with a central air-conditioning and heating system. In other “bidding” action, the council agreed Thursdy to advertise for bids for insurance coverage for the village, to include vehicular coverage, an umbrella policy, general liability, and workmen’s compensation. Potential bidders may obtain specifications from Village Clerk Susan Corkwell. Bids on the insurance coverage are due by Sept. 25 and will be reviewed at a special 7 p.m. meeting that evening by the council. That meeting at the Community Center is open to the public and will allow insurance agents an opportunity to explain the various benefits provided under the particular “package” bids. A decision on awarding the contract will be made at the council’s regular meeting, Thursday, Sept. 27. Nashville’s present coverage is carried through the Hecker Agency, located in the village. In other business, the council set 7 p.m., Sept. 13, as the time for a public hearing on a recom­ mendation received Thursdy from the Nashville Planning Commission to extend the present zoned business district from the old railroad tracks to M-79 on the west side of M-66, in order to in­ clude the Standard service station located on the corner of South Main (M-66) and Fuller Street (M-79). The property presently is zoned R-l residential, and proprietors of the station have requested the change in the interest of future business expansion.

Among her biggest hits in counry music are “You Ain’t Woman Enough”, “The Pill”, “Don’t Come Home A Drinkin”, “One’s on the Way”, “Love’s the Foun­ dation”, and “Coal Miner’s Daughter”. Opening both shows will be the Bob Wurst Band. Tickets for the shows are $10 in advance and $12 at the gate.

Nashville, Hastings insurance firm merge Effective Aug. 1, the Hecker Agency of Nashville and the Coleman Agency of Hastings have merged. “This consolidation of operations will generate even better service for the insureds of both agencies, ” said Mary Hecker. “With the combined volumes of both agencies, the insurance companies can offer greater choices for their clients.” The merger will not involve any changes in per- sonnel for either location. “Clients will have no new faces to deal with nor need to make tracks to a new office,” said Hecker. “The convenience of each location will be maintained by the same friendly staffs that have served their clients previously.” Bring any questions to either office — at the Hecker Agency, 225 N. Main, Nashville or the Coleman Agency, 203 S. Michigan, Hastings. �The Mople Volley News. Noshville. Tuesday. August 28, 1984 — Page 2 Nashville News Flavious (a local woolbuyer); Lucinda and Amelia. Lucinda Feighner later married Rueben Smith, and in time the couple became grandparents to Edna Brumm and greatgrandparents to Wayne Pennock. The Rueben Smiths had four daughters: Alice (Mrs. Curtis Pen­ nock); Eva (Mrs. Charles Brumm); Edith (Mrs. Richard Zemke); and Inez (Mrs. Curtis Wash). All of the girls are in the reunion photo, which Edna and Wayne say was taken in 1900. (In our caption we had estimated it about 1915.) Edna has a copy of the picture. Ours came from the Len W. Feighner collection recently presented to Put­ nam Public Library by Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Ayles of Nashville. Between the two of them, Edna Smith and Wayne Pennock were able to identify serveral others in the reunion photo. Wayne’s father, Ralph Pennock, is the young boy in the military­ style jacket fourth from right in the front row. Right beside him is his brother Arthur. Behind them in a ruffled dress is their 12-yearold aunt Inez Smith. The boy’s parents, Curtis and Alice Pennock, are almost directly behind them about three rows up (he is the man with a moustache at extreme right and she is slightly The Feighner family reunion photo published in last week’s Memories of the Past created a lot of interest­ on the part of readers especially those who are descendants of the clan. Among two of those we spoke with, and who gave us more complete infermation, were Wayne Pennock and Edna (Brumm) Smith, both great­ grandchildren of Henry Feighner, the first white settler within what is now the corporate' limits of Nash­ ville. (He is a great­ grandfather to Edna, and a great-great grandfather to Wayne). By coincidence, Henry Feighner also is mentioned in this week’s Memories regarding his role as the first blacksmith in the village. Feighner and his family settled near what is now Putnam Park, on the north bank of the Thor­ napple. Several of his relatives also were early pioneers here and one of them put down roots on 320 acres in Maple Grove Township on which the Wayne Pennock farm is now located. TheFeighners came to Michigan from Ohio, says Edna Smith, but they originally resided in Penn­ sylvania. Henry’s children were Benjamin; Emmanuel J. (who became Nashville’s first commercial photographer); Charles; William (father of Len W. Feighner, longtime Nash­ ville News publisher); The older generation generally worked longer hours (43 to 60 a week) with poorer equipment, in more dingy and dangerous working conditions, to build the structures and machines that now bring us our high standard of living. We should be mindful of and grateful for their efforts - and honor them along with present workers on this Labor Day. VOGT FUNERAL HOME IN NASHVILLE PHONE 852-0840 By Susan Hinckley phaned as an infant when her half-Indian, half-French mother died nine days after her birth in 1863. Viola’s father, a Civil War soldier in the Union army, died before she was born. She was brought up by Mr. and Mrs. William Rand, the nearest neighbors to the Hall’s log cabin home one-half mile east of the old Dunham school in Maple Grove Township. At age 15, Viola married Hagerman, and for nearly 60 years she was Maple Grove correspondent for The Nashville News. She died in December 1948. Some lucky person will win half of a cash jackpot in a 50­ 50 drawing to be conducted as a fund-raiser by the local Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the 1984 Nashville Harvest Festival. The amount of the jackpot will depend upon total ticket sales, which are underway now by local business people at $1 each. Chamber president Judy Quantrell says the drawing is planned for Saturday evening, Sept. 15, during festival activities. During production of last week’s paper, part of a caption under the photo of two local youngsters enrolled in the 15-hour computer class at Maple Valley was omitted. It should have read, “Currently there are four Commodore computers in use at Fuller Street elementary school in Nashville and two Apple computers are at Maplewood in Vermontville.” The latest contributions to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came last week from Norm and Mary Pittelkow, and from Blair and Leila Hawblitz and Ferm Hawblitz, all in memory of Mabie Adams. Also the fund received $151 from Nashville Class of 1959, which recently gathered here for a reunion the contribution coming in memory of their former classmate Donald J. Green. Another check boosting the building fund came from Nashville’s Thornapple Valley VFW Auxiliary 8260 in the amount of $187. Donations to the fund to add a proposed $50,000 Children’s Wing to the present facility may be made at the library or mailed to Post Office Box C, Nashville, 49073. Putnam treasurer Nita Brown reported the total fund last week stands at $23,460 plus interest to date, or roughly ahead and to the left of him in a white dress.) Next to Alice is her aunt Amelia Feighner Clever (with face partially obscured) and her husband, Daniel Clever (wearing a mustache, left of and slightly above his wife). EdithSmithZemke is among the “melon eaters” in the photo. She is third from left in the second row, wearing a white dress with a thin black belt (standing right behind the basin of melon slices). Her sister, Eva Smith Brumm (mother of Edna), is the lady with dark hair parted in the center and face partially obscured, standing almost in the center of the picture. (She is directly behind the lady in a dark dress who is holding a melon slice.) CharlesFeighner, son of Henry, is the gentleman in the back wearing a hat and holding a young child. Last week’s caption provided identification of three others in the photo: Catherine Feighner Miller, Henrietta Feighner Deller and Len W. Feighner. We believe that the latter’s daughters Vada (later Mrs. Ed Kane) is the young girl third from left in the front row. A call from Marlene Cardenas of Vermontville verified the identity of Henrietta Deller, who was her maternal grandmother. Mrs. Deller is standing at extreme right in the fourth row from the front. Her husband, Peter, is in the next to last row, standing third from the right, with moustache and wearing a suit and tie. While on the topic of Memories, this week’s ac­ count mentioning local blacksmith Norman Hagerman recalls an in­ teresting fact about him remembered by former local resident Wayne Fuller of Toledo, at the time our earlier story appeared. Seems in later life Hager­ man had an operation to replace his stomach with that of a goat - quite a topic of conversation in those days. Fuller said he couldn’t recall if the surgery was successful. He knew the Hagermans well, since they operated a water-powered feed mill in the Quailtrap district of Maple Grove Township where Fuller grew up. In fact, Hagerman’s wife Viola, a local midwife, ushered Wayne into the world. She herself was or- half the goal. Genevieve Hafner, a retired architect who is a member of the library board, is currently working on plans for the expansion on a volunteer basis. Gloria Johncock of Nash­ ville was hospitalized at Blodgett in Grand Rapids last week Monday, with complications from a viral infection which had her confined in the hospital for several days last spring. After tests it was determined that she was suffering from bronchial pneumonia. Joyce (Dawson) Baker, a former local resident now of Delton, last week brought your reporter an interesting family scrapbook containing news clippings saved from the 1940s. The items pertain to Nashville-VermontvilleCharlotte area folks, for the most part. One section of the books holds a number of clippings from the World War II period, when The Nashville News ran regular weekly reports on local folks serving with the armed forces. Photos and updates on their various stations and tours of duty, etc., were featured - with from one to two men (or an occasional woman) spotlighted each week. Coincidentally, one clipping in that section of the scrapbook ties in with our recent Memoriesjriece about Nashville’s observance of VJ Day on Aug. 14, 1945. In that story we pictured an honor roll board bearing the names of close to 300 local individuals serivng their country. Our caption mentioned that by the time the war drew to a close, nine of the names had been marked with gold stars. An undated clipping in the scrapbook sheds some light on this subject; “Nine gold stars were added to the Nashville honor roll in Central Park this week. The stars, made by Ralph Richardson, were put in place by Charles Betts. The stars were for James H. Swift, Carson Ricks, Neil Kidder, Wesley VanDenburg, Victor Hoffman, Marvin L. Goodson, Raymond Green, Stuart N. Guy and Nyal Pennock.” Clippings on the deaths of most of these men also are included in the bode, but there is one that seems to be missing from the gold star list above. That is Gaylord Patten of Nashville, who, according to a clipping in the book, died in April 1945 in a land mine explosiong on the same Pacific Island on which beloved war correspondent Ernie Pyle had met his death a month earlier. By our count, Pat­ ten’s name would bring the Nashville News, cont. on page 6 Oduig; CHRISTENSEN & ASSOC.

Coins in a king canister will count as plus votes, while bills will be counted as minus votes. With this sytem, one may vote “against” a particular candidate by dropping folding money into his canister and still aid the MVRDC. Checks may be designated either as plus or minus votes. Sponsors are responsible for emptying canisters each Friday and turning contents over to Mrs. Corkwell at Village Hall for tally and deposit. The leading candidates each Friday will be an­ nounced in the following issue of the Maple Valley News. Final proceeds of the canisters must be turned in by noon Friday, Sept. 14, to Mrs. Corkwell. Identity of the winners will be kept secret until time' for coronation that evening on a stage downtown. All con­ testants are expected to be on hand for that event. The 1984 Harvest King and Queen and their courts also will be featured in Satur­ day’s grand parade down Nashville’s Main Street. The candidates are: Ben and Lois Kenyon, husband and wife, of 121 Kellogg Street, Nashville, are candidates of Mulberry Fore golf course, which both are employed.

An unusual arched facade of a building on Nashville’s North Main Street has made the structure a local land­ mark for close to a century. Located on the west side of Main Street, at the junction of Reed, the single-story building sports a high, curved false front — unique among the many false facades that line Nashville’s' business district. Although origin of the North Main Street building is obscure, it may have been constructed in the 1880s. This premise is based on two facts thatmay be relevant: the old grist mill which was located on an adjacent lot was built in 1881, and most of Nash­ ville’s false-fronted buildings were erected in the 1880-90 decade. Early uses of the uniquely shaped North Main Street building also are obscure, but most present-day senior citizens recall that it once With advent of the auto, the landmark building on Nashville's North Main was converted from a black­ smith shop into an automotive garage, opened about 1920 by Charles Cool and Merrill Hinckley, who at that time was spelling the family name without the "c". Texaco products were offered, and home radios later became a sideline. From left are an unidentified man; Cool; Hinckley; and Merrill’s father, Civil War veteran John ("Jack") Hinckley, peering toward the adjacent 1881 grist mill. housed a blacksmith shop. The late Vern Staup, whom we interviewed when we first wrote this story in 1981, remembered it as Norm Hagerman’s blacksmith shop. Before that time it was owned by another blacksmith — William Howell — who was an uncle to Guy Howell, a former local resident, now of Tuc­ son, Arizona, who is a frequent contributor to this column. Nashville native Adolph Douse, Jr. also remembers the Hagerman shop, and notes that Hagerman and his family lived next door, to the south, in the house now occupied by the Fred Corkins. Blacksmithing was a vital turn-of-the-century trade here and elsewhere. In Nashville there usually were from three to five shops in operation, and all were kept busy, according to early Nashville News accounts. The first smithy in the village dates back to 1855 with the arrival of Henry Feighrier and his family. They built the first frame dwelling in the original settlement north of the river, and early records indicate that Feighner established the first blacksmith shop here on the south edge of what now is Putnam Park, near Bridge Street. Vern Staup’s memories of the Hagerman shop included the excitement of exploring it as a youngster, after his family moved to the north side of town. The exterior as well as the interior of the Boyd Olsen became proprietor of the North End garage in 1928 and retained ownership until his death in 1967, 1 renting it out for a few Depression years.

The window at left has been enlarged from its origiinal design and in this about-1930 photo carries a poster designating the garage as an official brake-testing station. This photo of the interior of the old North End garage was taken in 1930, according to the sign just behind the head of proprietor Boyd Olsen, at left. The interior walls of the building still bear the initials carved by many early Nashville residdents, say present-day owners. The man at right is unidentified. Note terms sign on wall: ’’Strictly Cash. No Credit." building was intriguing to children. “We used to stop on the way to school and splash water out of the horse­ watering tank out front,” remembered Vern. A concrete water trough located there and others at strategic points in town were maintained by the village for the benefit of equine travel. A crude wooden hitching rail also was a standard fixture in front of the curvedfront building in its early years. With the advent of the auto, however, the hitching rail and water tank disap­ peared, along with the smithy operation. (One exception was the former Jasper Deeds shop, located on the east side of North Main near the fire station, where a blacksmith con­ tinued operating well into the 1950s.) The growing popularity of the “horseless carriage” brought about the conversion of the curved-front building from a blacksmith shop to an auto garage owned and operated by Charles Cool and Merrill Hinckley. Both local men, they had each acquired mechanic’s training from about 1914-20 at the Joe Hurd Sales and Service, located on the present-day site of Musser’s service station on South Main. Hurd was proprietor of one of the earliest Ford agencies in this part of Michigan, and is credited with introducing the first auto ever used in the village — a new three­ wheeled Thomas Auto-Tri which he bought in 1902. Hurd opened his Ford agency here just eight years later. “Both Charlie and Merrill were excellent mechanics, at least for cars of that day,” recalled the late Kenneth A. Meade in 1981. Texaco products were sold at the Cool-Hinckley garage on North Main and, when Hinckley became sole owner of the business in the mid19208, home radios and phonographs were added as an unusual sideline. In 1928, Hinckley was named manager of the new Dixie service station built that year on South Main at Fuller Street, and sold his North End garage to Boyd (“Bud”) Olsen of Nashville. Olsen was an established local mechanic, having operated a garage at the The earliest remembered use of the curved-front building is as a blacksmith shop. In this pre-1916 photo the business was owned by Norm Hagerman, who lived in the house just South of the building. From left are local iceman John Miller (seated); blacksmith Hagerman; John Springett; James Hummel, and his son, Guy, an apprentice who became later became a longtime Charlotte blacksmith. While the face of the building how bears an antique Whippet and WillysKnight service sign, it is not original with the building but was attached to it in 1979. The sign probably came from the local dealership of Ralph Olin, who intro­ duced the Whippet to Nashville in 1926 in the presentday Baby Bliss location. rear of Duff Eddy’s White Rose station at the corner of Main and Washington (present-day site of Nash­ ville Coin Laundry.) In addition, Olsen had worked as a mechanic at the local Overland auto agency as well as Hurd’s Ford sales. In his new location in the curved-front building on North Main, Olsen handled all sorts of automotive work and sold Shell oil products. In the 1930s when the Great Depression hit Nashville with full force, Olsen rented the garage business to Tom Hoisington and Donald (“Tip”) Hill and went into road construction work. Later he returned to the garage business and maintained the North Main Street location until his death in 1967 at age 70, though ill health forced him to give up heavy mechanical work the last few years of his life. After Olsen’s death, the building was sold to an in­ dividual for use as a hobby garage, and has not housed an active retail business since then. *74^ ^0 Vermontville Chamber Would like to Thank Everyone for coming to the huge Successful Ver­ montville Community Garage Sale and thanks to all the people who Participated in the Sale. �Th* Stapt* VcU*y Mawi NoshmA* TuHndoy Josephs win Ford van at Spartan Convention ’‘*•■58$. ■58 Donald Joseph, Jr., of Carl’s Super Market Nashville, opens the door on a new 1984 Ford van won by the local store at a Spartan convention last week in Grand Rapids.

He remembers that the DVM helped out with several sick animals on the Fuller farm in Maple Grove Township when Wayne was growing up. “For the life of me I cannot recall the fellow’s name,” said Fuller. Another faithful Maple Valley News reader seeking information is Edna B. Hill, a former local resident .now living at Wyoming, near Grand Rapids. In a nice letter last week she com­ mented about how wonderful it was that through our column we turned up current data on Bill Kleinhans, who formerly lived in Nashville. “Our family has wondered for years what has become of the Walter Burds,” wrote Mrs. Hill. The family lived in the present-day Gene Kotje home on State Street, and were friends and neighbors of Edna’s family, the DeRiars. “Walter and his wife, Helen, may be dead but William (their son) probably is still living. We heard that his younger sister Catherine may be dead,” added Mrs. Hill. “Mr. Burd was a real estate salesman in Nashville and later was either sheriff or deputy sheriff.” The Burds moved to Hastings sometime after 1916, which was the year the DeRiars relocated there. Catherine and William graduated at Hastings High School in 1925, said Mrs. Hill. The problems that young people face in witnessing to their friends is the topic of a movie “Mistaken Identity,” to be shown at 7 p.m. Wed­ nesday, Aug. 29, for junior and senior high youths in the Teen Room at Nashville Baptist Church.

By comparison, $2.5 billion was spent in Michigan for the same period in 1978. The Michigan Department of Transportation estimates that motorists will drive 765 million miles this 78-hour Labor Day weekend, a two percent increase over last year. So far this year, the number of miles traveled in Michigan is up from three to three point five percent. “Requests for Auto Club TourBooks and routings to Michigan destinations are up nearly five percent for the first seven months of this year, compared to the same period last year, with a 10 percent increase in July, Drury noted. “AU four regional tourist bureaus report summer travel increases ranging up from five percent,” Drury noted. “Among the upscale barometers are the Grand Traverse County area, / / / j I I ( i i i I I / I retail / hi^m LaForme™ Mousse Natural Color-Foam Highlighter is a foam-in styling conditioner that also provides multiple :/ Three natural color-foam highlighters—Champagne, Qggnas and Burgundy—provide natural blonde, auburn orburgundyhighlights on any hair color!

Main, Vermontville 726-0330 BACK co where tourism is up 20 percent, and Dearborn’s Greenfield Village, up 12 percent.” The Michigan Travel Bureau’s survey of 20 tourist attractions shows a six point five overall attendance in­ crease through July. Mackinac Bridge crossings are up point nine percent for the year while Grand Hotel visitors on Mackinac Island are up six percent. At Detroit’s Boblo Island, at­ tendance is up ten percent. Camping is on par with last year. Preliminary figures from the Michigan Association of Private Campground Owners in­ dicate that overall camping by summer’s end could be up nearly five percent over 1983, while camping at state parks is down four point two percent through mid-July. “Labor Day travelers will find that self-serve gasoline costs have tumbled an average four cents per gallon on state highways since Memorial Day,” Drury said. Statewide self-serve no­ lead averages $1,236 per gallon. Gasoline supplies will be abudant for the holiday weekend, which officially begins at 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31 and ends at midnight Monday, Sept. 3. Seventeen persons died in 1983 Michigan Labor Day traffic, including five motorcyclists and three pedestrians. None of those killed in cars was wearing a safety belt. Eleven of the 15 at-faults drivers were drinking. The Auto Club’s “Bring “Em Back Alive” Holiday News Service will complete its 20th year of service by providing the latest in­ formation on traffic con­ ditions and tourism for hourly broadcasts to more than 160 radio stations from 3 to 11 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and Monday, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday. SCHOOL SALE STARTS NOW o co mill. Everyone watched grain being ground, logs being sawed and a unique toy maker making novel toys. The general store had all kinds of homemade goodies for sale, many that were made in the village. There were 23-buildings there plus a merry-go-round (antique of course). A highlight was a marvelous hour long train ride on the antique railroad car pulled by a steam locomotive. The magic show in the opera house was another delightful feature of the day. The train ride and the show gave just enough rest from walking that folks didn’t become exhausted. The day con­ cluded with dinner, before rolling down the highway back to Hastings. “The group pronounced it just about the best trip we’ve ever taken - perfect,” said Marge Barcroft.

Eaton County has com silage hot line available Most area cash crop farmers, who have not been fortunate to get timely rains, have com fields that will not produce satisfactory yields of grain, says Roger Betz, Extension Agricultural Agent. These fields would yield higher dollar value if harvested as corn silage, Betz adds. Also, many livestock producers, especially dairy, beef and sheep, willl ran short of roughage feed because oflow yields on their alfalfa and corn silage acreage. These people need to get in contact with each other so that livestock producers can purchase feed, probably unharvested, from the grain producers. Timing is critical Phone 945-9554 for ActionAds! as droughty com will dry down quickly. If too dry, poor quality com silage will result. The Cooperative Ex­ tension Service office is assisting in assembling a list of buyers and sellers by township in Eaton County. Farmers need to call the Extension office at 543-2310 or 372-5594 in order to be included on the list and also, find out who is considering buying or selling corn silage.

Its nutrient value depends on the stage it is cut, how much moisture it contains, and the number of weeds growing beside it. Unitl recently there wasn't any good way of quickly assessing hay quality. Now using near infra-red reflectance, the protein content and the digestability of hay can be determined almost instantly. This will greatly help farmers to formulate livestock diets. This new method, NIR (Near Infra-Red Reflec­ tance) will be demonstrated at MSU’s Kellogg Biological Station on Wednesday, Aug. 29.

The Barry-Eaton Board’s objectives is to ask each of its 150 members to urge at least five people to register and vote in the November election. From now until October 8 the Barry-Eaton Board of Realtors will use volunteers from its Realtor Active in Politics (RAP) program to provide detailed detailed voter registration information to interested eesed persons. “The 1984 general election will be critical for this country at every level,” said Jennie Neff, President of the Barry-Eaton Board of Realtors. “Realtors have a unique ability to reach people who have recently moved into or within their community, and who need to register or re-register to vote.” The project is part of a national program, sponsored by the 625,000-m ember National Association of Realtors, which is encouraging its state associations and local boards to make the voter registration project a priority this election year. “We intend to take ad­ vantage of our daily contact with the public to encourage people to fully exercise their citizenship rights” said Donald- H. Tredwell, President of the National Association of Realtors. He noted that the voter registration project has been commended by the chairmen of both the democratic and republican national com­ mittees. See or call your local realtor for information today.

The two telephone number now in use are 543-0863 and, the new number, 485-4172. The 485-4172 number is a local call for Lansing, Grand Ledge, Eaton Rapids and Dimondale. Protective Services are provided seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to children and certain adults in potentially dangerous or harmful situations. Children’s protective ser­ vices are designed to assure children are protected from physical or emotional abuse or neglect by persons responsible for their care. Specialized social services are offered to parents to assist them to function in­ dependently in providing care to their children. Services are focused on maintaining children in their own homes by working with parents to strengthen families in areas which directly affect the safety and well-being of the children. Children’s protective services are intended to help parents, not punish them. In protecting the children, however, it is sometimes necessary to assume all or some of the rights of the parents. When services to the family fail to protect the child, legal action is required as the sole remaining means of protecting the child and fulfilling the community’s responsibility towards that child. Adult protective services are provided in response to a report of alleged harm or threatened harm because of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or endangerment. For an adult to be considered in need of protective services, two conditions must be met. First, the adult must be at risk due to abuse, neglect, exploitation, or en­ dangerment, and second, the adult must be vulnerable to harm because of an existing physical or mental condition including age, mental illness, mental retardation, or physical handicap.

Main St., Vermontville - Ph 726-0569 “While these volunteers and their fine dogs train primarily to conduct sear­ ches, teaching this program is another example of why we feel it is important to support their work,” said Barbara Korn, Hi-Pro Brand Manager at Ralston Purina. “The presentation itself is as bare as we can make it while keeping it helpful,” says Diane Pappan of the Albuquerque unit. The program consists of seven simple suggestions which parents should teach their children if a Hug-ATree or Search and Rescue group cannot make the presentation in their area. DEach child should carry a plastic trash bag, a whistle and a candy bar on a family outing. “By cutting a hole in the bag for the face to prevent suffocation the child can wear this to keep dry and warm,” says Lilley. “The whistle should be used to alert searchers rather than yelling because it will carry further and calling out uses up twice as much energy.” 2H)ug a tree once you know you are lost. “Picking a ‘friendly’ tree, hugging it and even talking to it calms the child down,” says Taylor. “By staying in one place, the child is found far more quickly and can’t be injured in a fall.” . “It’s better to remain still,” says Beth Squire of the Albuquerque unit, “because if you work up a sweat you are both exerting needed energy and making it more likely that hypothermia will set in. And children will cover as much ground if not more than an adult while lost “Also, one of the things children have asked is if you’re in a rain storm with lightning, should you stay near a tree. We tell them they don’t have to hug a tree necessarily, but that the idea is to stay put. They could use a bush or a rock just as well.” 3) My parents won’t be angry. “There have been instances where children actualy hide from searchers because they’re afraid of what will happen when they’re found, or because they’re embarrassed,” says Lilley. “If they know their paretns will be happy to see them, they will try harder to be found.” 4) Make yourself BIG. To make themselves more visible from the air, children should pick their tree or location near a clearing if possible; wear bright clothes; lie down on their back and wave ifa helicopter or plane flies over; and make signs in the dirt or with available objects. 5) There are no animals out there that can hurt you. “Again, if they hear a noise they should blow the whistle,” says Squire. “It will either drive the animal away or bring a rescuer.” 6) You have lots of friends ACTION-ADS looking for you. “Children always think their parents TALENT SHOW: Nashville are going to find them, which Harvest Festival, Fri., Sept. is good,” says Lilley, “but 14.

In a special offer until the Friday evening Larry Lenz named 'Grand Marshal’ of Nashville’s Harvest Parade by Susan Hinckley Larry Lenz, assistant principal and athletic director at Maple Valley Jr.Sr. high school, has been chosen as grand marshal of Nashville’s 1984 Harvest Festival parade. An 18-year resident of the village, Lenz was chosen for the honor by a committee of the Maple Valley Recreational Development Corp., sponsors of the Sept. 14-16 festival, in recognition of his work with youth of the community - especially in the field of sports, said MVRDC officials. Lenz is now serving his third year as volunteer coach of the high school Larry Lenz, assistant principal and athletic director at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School, has been chosen as grand marshall of the 1984 Nashville Harvest Fes­ tival parade in recognition of his work with the youth of the community - particularly in the field of sports.

After graduation from Central Michigan University in 1967 Lenz came directly to Maple Valley to accept a position as senior high history teacher and physical educaton instructor. He held that post for nine years, until he became assistant prin­ cipal and athletic director. He is now beginning his 18th year in the Maple Valley system. Lansing is the hometown of Lenz, who graduated from Sexton High School in that city before attending Michigan State University for his freshman year, later transferring to CMU as a sophomore. He and his wife, Pat, have two teenp-aged sons: Greg, 17, and Scot, 14. In his spare time Lenz has enjoyed golfing and playing on local softball teams, but has had to relinguish those activities lately due to a problem with arthritis in a hip. “This is the first year I haven’t played on a local (softball) team,” noted Lenz, who may face surgery to correct the condition by hip joint replacement.

Also during the Friday evening stage show, the winner of the $50 savings bond in the park-naming content will berevealed. The Sweet Adelines of Delton will entertain on the stage Friday evening during the time judges are making their final decision on talent contest winners. Saturday’s events start at 10 a.m. with the judging of harvest produce, which must be brought to the Maple Street stage by 9 a.m. Contest head Lois Elliston will be on hand to register entries, Cash prizes and ribbonswill be awarded in six categories (largest pumpkin, largest sunflower in diameter of face, most unusual produce, best fresh and dried floral arrangements, and best of show). The winner in the pumpkin category also will have the honor of having his or her name inscribed on a perpetual plaque displayed by the MVRDC. Marilyn Chaffee has charge of Saturday’s grand parade. Entries are to be at Putnam Park for lineup by 11 a.m. Also at 11 a.m., it is hoped that talent show winners of Friday evening can again perform on the Maple Street stage to entertain Main Street crowds waiting for the parade to start. At 2 p.m. on that same stage, the Raber Stompers of Hastings will perform, followed by Otis Hermenitt at 2:30 and a jazzercise exhibition at 3 p.m. All-day Saturday events in the downtown area include a flea market, arts and crafts show, and an ox roast. These activities will be conducted in Central Park and on Main Street sidewalks. Main Street will be closed during peak activity hours Saturday, said Chaffee. Permission has been granted by the state Department of Transportation to tem­ porarily reroute M-66 traffic q5’84 through Nashville. At Putnam Public Library, Friends of the Library will conduct a used book sale from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Across the street at the Nashville fire station, a water ball contest sponsored by the local-department is set for 1 p.m. and is expected to draw firefighters from throughout Barry County. Also commencing at 1 p.m., on Washington Street from Main to State, will be competitive tractor pulls staged by the Mid-Michigan Mini Tractor Association. This event has been a real crowd-pleaser at the past several Harvest Festivals. Also at 1 p.m., the MVRDC will open a “saloon” in the fire station, and serve drinks there all through the af­ ternoon and evening, and during the Harvest Ball which starts at 9 p.m. The band, Southern Nights, will furnish music for the event. Linda Frith and Sherry Varney are co-chairpersons of the dance. The big event on Sunday will be the third annual “Run, Walk or Crawl”, commencing at 2 p.m. Rod McMillon has charge of the 5,000-meter race around the . perimeter of Nashville. There will be men’s, women’s and team divisions — the latter requiring pre­ registration. Individuals may register and pick up numbers between noon and 1:30 p.m. race day at the corner of Main and Maple. Prizes include running shoes and medals, and special awards to the first five finishers with Nashville addresses. In other sports activities, men’s and women’s softball tourneys will be held Saturday and Sunday on the MVRDC field. Al Easey has charge of those games.

In expressing his apologies, Hawkins said he learned of his mathematical mistakes after the letter was printed. Voters will be asked to approve a four-mill increase in a special Sept. 12 election. To set the record straight, Hawkins said that four additional mills would generate , approximately $404,000 and that those funds would be used in the following areas: $160,890 for anticipa ted increased ex­ penses; $143,110 for an­ ticipated school employee wage increases; and $100,000 for a cash carryover. Under the heading of anticipated additional costs to the school, he said, the $160,890 figure represents $69,000 for three teachers; $22,000 for computers (staterequired); $14,000 for teaching supplies; $26,500 for extra-curricular activities; $13,390 for estimated ad­ ditional heating costs; $5,025 for the added costs of two buses; $3,050 for increased costs of electricity; and $7,925 for added ad­ ministrative costs. Hawkins also added that at the end of last week’s letter, he did not intend the names of his fellow board members to be interpreted as signatures. He said the names were merely to in­ dicate a list of persons who currently serve on the board of education. ACTINGS P0BL18 DBBA8T 111 & CHUKH STHET HMTINS. WCMtM 4NU �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 4, 1984 — Page 2 Nashville News about-1915, but Mrs. Smith has a dated copy of the picture.) * The reunion photo used in the Memories story came from the Len W. Feighner collection recently donated to Putnam Public Library by Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Ayles. It is on display in the Michigan and Local History Room there, and it is hoped that descendants of the clan can help with identification of several unlabeled family photos. The Nashville community was saddened by the death of three local residents last week: Robert Banks and Douglas DeCamp, both of whom passed away Tuesday following long illnesses, and Mrs. Etta Pinnock, 92, who died Wednesday at the Provincial House in Hastings, where she had resided the past four years. Services for all three were conducted by Vogt Funeral Home. Condolences are extended to all three families in their losses. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Pen­ nock, Mrs. Doris Marshall, Mrs. Delores Knoll, all of Nashville, and Mrs. Lyndon Barry of Hastings were in Muskegon Tuesday for the funeral of Henry Klevering, 77. His wife, the former Marjorie Gillett, is a sister to Clara Pennock and Doris Marshall. Klevering, a longtime Muskegon city commissioner, was em­ ployed for 41 years by Teledyne Continental Motors Additional identification of the Feighner family reunion photo that was featured in a recent Memories came last week from Mrs. Hugh (Violet) Feighner of rural Nashville. She was able to name six people in the 1900 picture. In last week’s News column, a dozen others had been identified by various descendants of the clan. Mrs. Feighner says that the young children fourth and. fifth from left in the front row are her late husband’s brother Shirley and sister Mabie. The children’s mother, Amanda Feighner, is fifth from left in the fourth row from front, and her husband, Emmett, is standing next to her at the right. (There appears to be another gentleman between them, but he is actually in the row behind them.) In another update on the Feighner photo, we hap­ pened across the following item last week while browsing through old issues of The Nashville News: “The fourth annual Feighner family reunion was held Friday at Thornapple Lake with more than 100 in at­ tendance.” That story was from the first issue of Sep­ tember 1899. This indicates that the picture we published probably was the fifth an­ nual reunion, as it was dated 1900 according to Edna (Brumm) Smith, a descendant of local pioneer Henry Feighner. (We had earlier guessed the photo at Today a hospice' is a caring community - a group of people joined by their shared dedica­ tion to promote the physical, emotional and spiritual well­ being of the dying and their families. It includes professionals in the art and craft of medicine. The hospice offers it services and its fellowship not only to the terminally ill, but to the entire family unit, without distinction of race, color, creed, or ability to pay. It is worth investigating.

Miss Kathryn Murphy, daughter of Jeff and Rae Murphy of Nashville, ac­ companied her grand­ mother, Mrs. David (Rosalie) Murphy, local, on a recent week’s trip to Arlington, Texas, to see the latter’s daughter and son-in­ law, Cinda and Quentin Ward. While there, the visitors enjoyed seeing sights in Ft. Worth and Dallas. Highlights for young Kathryn were an amusement park called Sesame Place and, of course, her first airplane ride.

We had no response to last week’s query in this column about an early local veterinarian who left Nash­ ville about 60 years ago to open a pet clinic in Ann Arbor — one of the first animal hospitals in the state, believes former local resident Wayne Fuller of Toledo. He has been trying unsuccessfully to recall the doctor’s name, and is hoping one of our readers may remember the man. On another question posed last week the present whereabouts of the Walter Burd family — we also had no response. Former local resident Edna (DeRiar) Hill of Wyoming wonders what became of her early Nash­ ville neighbors who lived in the present-day Gene Koetje home on State Street. Mrs. Hill believes Walter and his wife, Helen, may well be dead by now, and perhaps even their daughter Catherine, but wonders if Brownies Organize This Wednesday, Sept. 5 will be the organizational meeting for girls interested in scouting and all retur­ ning Brownies. Any girl in the 1 st, 2nd, or 3rd grade is welcome-she may enter scouts in the 2nd or 3rd grade. You do not have to start as a first grader. Scouting is an excellent opportunity for girls to de­ velop mentally, physically and emotionally. Brownies usually meet once a week for an hour. Dues are be­ tween *8.00 - *10.00 a year with a *3.00 registration fee. Uniforms are optional. The meeting Sept. 5 will be immediately after school in Miss Dents room.

Nashville, Tuesday, September 4, 1984 — Page 4 Festive farmers picnics were forerunners of local Labor Day observance (Author’s note: Portions of the following account first appeared as a Memories of the Past published Sept. 5, 1979.) 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 has 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 Sept. 1903. “In the raffle of a The Union House, a 3-story hotel on Nashville's Main Street, played an important role in village his­ tory even though its life was relatively short. Built in the early 1870s, it was destroyed by fire some 30 years later. During that brief span it served as headquarters for local entrepreneurs, as well as traveling "drummers," and was a central point of festivities at the annual Farmers' Picnic, a local forerunner of Labor Day observance. This scene by Woodland photographer C.M. Early, who later relocated in Nashville, is of the picnic of 1900, held that year on August 14. Later the event was moved to early September. Central Park now occupies the old hotel site. horse, Mr. Abbott was the winner and in the ladies’ raffle, Mrs. George McWha won the dress suit. In the voting contest for the best housekeeper present, Mrs. Peter S. Maurer was the winner by a large majority.” Labor Day came close on the heels of Nashville’s annual Harvest Festival celebration, traditionally held in August during the early 1900s, and most local folks viewed the September work holiday as an op­ portunity for rest and quiet recreation. Some years, the farmers’ picnic fell in August. One such occasion was in 1900, when the annual outing was staged in Nashville on August 14. “The big Farmers’ picnic Tuesday was a grand suc­ cess and drew a crowd estimated at more than 2,000,” reported The News. “The balloon man was unable to make his ascension after three attempts but the rest of the program went off as planned.” Bands from Woodland and North Kalamo furnished fine music all day, according to The News account, while the sporting events were ex­ cellent and the exhibition by the fire department at­ tracted considerable praise. “The ball game at the driving park between Hastings and Sunfield (teams) was well attended and the free street show in the afternoon and evening was excellent,” added the writer. “The day was not marred by a single accident or drunk.” Center of the Main Street A closeup p view of the stage gy activity seen in the long g shot of the hotel shows a balancing act in progress. Uniformed bandsmen are visible just below the stage in foreground, while melodrama players in costume relax on the second-floor balcony of the Union House, apparently awaiting their turns on stage. A banner hanging just left of the stage says, "Get Your Wheels Che Checked," and probably belonged to local merchant J. C. Hurd, whose bicycle shop was waslocated located in inthe the hotel when it burned in 1902. These photos of the 1900 Farmers’ Picnic are from the collection of Len W. Feighner, recently presented to Putnam Public Library by Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Ayles. Here, an attentive crowd watches a melodrama. According to News accounts of the 1900 event, over 2,000 people were in Nashville for the picnic and the day "was not marred by a single accident or drunk." The celebration gave rural folks a chance to rest from farm chores and also entertained village resi­ dents. After the hotel burned, the annual picnics were held at Thornapple Lake, as were subsequent Labor Day gatherings. The Nashville Harvest Festival came on the scene a few years later as an annual local celebration. festivities that day was the old Union House, a threestory frame hotel which sat close to the sidewalk on the present-day site of Central Park. Built sometime before 1872, the Union House may well have been the first hotel in Nashville, and served as commercial headquarters for a few local merchants as well as traveling salesmen (“drummers”), i In February 1877, Charles Bronson of Middleville took over management of the Union House land began renova ting> XhQnestablishment, “spreading vast quantities of new paint and in general polishing up the place,” according to a News story. The Union House also featured a popular dining room, as was normal in those days. “Charley fed no less than 37 drummers and farmers for dinner Monday and still had enough victuals to keep the chambermaids and kitchen help jolly,” observed The News a couple weeks after announcing the renovation project. Construction the following year of the more elegant Wolcott House on South Main may have sounded the death knell for the Union, but it was still a popular place for traveling sales promotions — even some 20 years later. “D. L. Smith of Battle Creek will hold a book auction at the Union House Saturday afternoon,” noted The News in mid-October 1899. “He announces that he will bring over more than 500 volumes of good books and that all will be sold to the highest bidders.” In February 1902, the old Union House, “long con­ sidered a fire trap, was wrecked by flames,” said The News. “Built entirely of wood, it was one of the landmarks of the town... It is not worth repairing.” Only occupants of the Union House at the time of the fire were John Whitmire, who used two of the rooms on the second floor for living quarters, J. C. Hurd, who had some bicycle repairs and supplies in one of the lower rooms, and J. W. Yourex, who operated a bakery in the annex. No one was injured in the Monday afternoon blaze. After loss of the Union House, annual farmers’ day picnics and subsequent Labor Day celebrations seemed to center at the popular Cole’s resort on Thornapple Lake near Morgan. Music, dancing, ball games, and riding the lake steamer continued to be popular holiday activities for several years. As official observance of the September holiday became more widespread, a day’s furlough from work became an increasingly accepted policy. “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 at that time by private industry in the village. Most present-day senior citizens who had relatives working in the early 1900s at the Lentz Table Company, Nashville’s largest em­ ployer, can not recall such an occasion. One thing is certain: If workers did observe the holiday then, it was un­ doubtedly without pay. In­ dustrial “paid holidays”, as we know them today, were still many years down the line. In November 1906, The News reported that “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.” Nine years later, the site was acquired by the village and converted into a park at the urging of Len W. Feighner, longtime editor­ publisher of The Nashville News. Only memories remain of the Union House and its link to the festive local forerunner of Labor Day. ------ 0---- Turn those unwanted, unused items into CASH with an Action-Ad, call 945-9554!

Wolever is asking Nashville and Vermontville area residents to participate in the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital “Wheels-for Life” Bike-a-thon to be held Saturday, Sept. 22 at the Fuller St. School track. 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. Wolever 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 stricken children since research is the only way these illnesses can be conquered,” she 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, said Wolever. “You can put your muscles to work for a child’s life in this Bike-a-thon^ We need every bike and every rider,” she said.

September 4. 1984 — Page 9 Heyboer and Wolcott lead in Harvest Festival contest From our readers To the Editor: The Michigan Education Association, the Michigan Association of School Boards, the Michigan Federation of Teachers and the Michigan Association of School Administrators grouped themselves together three years ago and set up workshops to train people in local school districts as to how to get millages passed. The Michigan Dept, of Education has also funded a study to see why senior citizens vote “no” on millages. Why? From these workshops sprang up community Diane Heyboer groups such as the A.C.E., Concerned Parents, Citizens in Education, etc. These groups locally call wanting to know how we are going to vote or if we are voting. The answers given are put on lists, to be used later. The “yes” voters will be called on election day, the “no” voters are left alone, the don’t vote names are en­ couraged to vote and vote for the millages. The senior citizens are informed that they will not have a tax in­ crease (most will not) as they are exempted from paying. (But someone must pay.)

Our Commission Rate is now 5% on MOST PROPERTY. DOES YOURS QUALIFY? I have seen our children’s classes shortened, subjects taken away, sports taken away, bus routes shortened, less supplies and never once have I seen the Teachers Union give up one thing. Their hands are in the pie first and the children and non-teaching staff gets what’s left. I think it is time we recall the people on the school board who agreed to run this millage election. Just three months ago we said no, then we told them to tell us exactly where the money was needed and how much. The figures in the Maple Valley News last week are incorrect, I am told. So we still do not know. The Teachers Union is negotiating now and I bet before this is in the paper and before the millage vote comes up they will vote themselves in a raise. Yes, before we even know where the money is coming from, and if the millage does not pass, we will have to borrow the money and pay interest and the children will have more cuts. I feel we should form a group and once and for all stand up to the Teachers Union who jam these millages at us to the tune of “Ifyou don’tgive us what we want, we will strike”. Well let them strike.

We have 58 states with teachers who would Jove to come here and get higher wages. I also suggest we ask the Teachers Union for a ten percent wage concession. Let them see how it is out here in the world of wage concessions, lay offs, and loss of jobs. If a teacher is good, she or he does not need a union to keep theirjobs. We as parents and good school board members would beat a path to their doors offering them more because we would want them teaching our boys and girls.

Board President Dave Hawkins said he made a mathematical error in a letter to the editor last week. To the Editor: I, Ronald J. Tobias, want to clear my name from the letter that was published (from members of the Maple Valley Board of Education) in last week’s paper because there are too many changes from what we talked about at our meeting. I never saw the letter before it was printed. I don’t know how or who is making the money decisions. I have been on the finance committee for one-year and to this day they have never met, not for amounts of millage, not for budget, not for allocating new money, not for anything. Maybe it is time the Maple Valley board should start operating according to school policy. Thanks, Ronald J. Tobias Treasurer, M.V.

According to Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, when, and if, the fall rains arrive, the lawns should green up rapidly. It is at this time home owners should assess their turf thickness and weed content. If the turf is thick and healthy appearing, no fer­ tilization will be needed in September. However, if the turf is thin, apply one pound of actual nitrogen per 1000 square feet of lawn area. The instructions listed on the fertilizer bag will indicate the proper spreader settings. AH lawn should receive a fertilizer application in either late October or in November, before the first snowfall. This late ap­ plication will normally give a moderate greening of the turf in the spring, resulting in reduced mowing needs and reduced disease potential. The next fertilizer application should then be delayed until June. For weedy lawns, fall is the best time to eliminate the weeds. Treatments should be Serving ourcountry Edward A.

Nitrate toxicity is often blamed if a nutrition-related problem shows up in cattle or sheep. But changes are it’s something else, such as an unbalanced ration or a too sudden change in the ration composition. long-standing A management practice in ruminant nutrition is to change feeds gradually so that the rumen bacteria can adjust to the new feed. Rapid changes from poor forage to green corn or corn silage to high grain rations may throw the animal off-feed, and can cause overeating disease in sheep. But a gradual conversion over one to two weeks should prevent such problems. Under normal feeding situations, the nitrate levels in feed must be well over two percent to cause a problem. Few forages, particularly corn, contain nitrates at toxic levels. If growing conditions do favor nitrate accumulation in forage, follow these management practices: -Consider ensiling corn forage. The fermentation that occurs in the silo will reduce nitrate levels by at least 40 percent. -Dilute known high-nitrate feeds with low-nitrate feeds, such as grain or legume hay, to reduce the percentage of nitrate in the daily ration; -When making silage, raise the cutter bar of the chopper, leaving 10 to 12 inches of stalk in the field. Nitrate tends to accumulate in the stalk, sb raising the cutter bar means you har­ vest less ofthe concentrated nitrate. Plan to supplement stalkage with high-energy feeds. If planning to use a questionable forage, introduce it slowly over one or two weeks so that the rumen bacteria can adapt. -Be sure the ration is balanced.

But a report recently submitted to the Michigan Legislature, prepared by the Michigan Employment Security Commission (MESC), indicates that due to legislative action taken in 1982, the state will be repaying that loan at a much faster pace. In fact, by 1986, the state will owe only $500 million to the federal government. The MESC had predicted earlier that by 1986, we would owe $843 million. The state law changes, which were adopted during Governor William Millken’s final weeks in office, took effect on January 1, 1983, making Michigan the first among 29 states with federal unemployment debts to take comprehensive action to restore the solvency of its unemployment trust fund. In fact, the U.S. Congress used Michigan as a model in formulating relief measures to ease the burden of federal interest and penalty charges on debtor states that have taken steps to reform their unemployment benefit financing structures. Our uenmployment debt began to grow at a startling rate over four years ago because of the national economic recession that was felt particularly hard in this automotive-intensive industrial state..^s.more and more money was borrowed from Washington, the in­ terest rates continued to climb and Michigan em­ ployers were being forced to pay more and more in unemployment taxes to cover the cost of borrowing. But because of action taken by Legislature during the end of the Milliken years in Lansing, Michigan em­ ployers will realize a federal tax savings of over $110 million from 1983 through 1986 by deferring interest charges, by reducing the federal interest rate and by capping the federal unem­ ployment penalty law. ‘ _______ m to » »F__r_e_e__z_em Tuition Michigan’s public fouryear colleges and univer­ sities have all voluntarily agreed to freeze their tuition levels for the 1984-85 school year, and increased state aid to colleges and universities has made that determination possible. I know that increased tuition rates and federal budgets cuts that eliminated several sources of college financial aid made a college education nearly impossible for many students. By increasing state aid to colleges and universities by 11.2 percent, from the 1983-84 level of $761,200,000 to the 1984-85 level of $846,600,000, the Michigan Legislature ensured that our 15 state- supported colleges and As your state represen­ universities, and their tative, I strongly supported regional campuses, could the increases in the budget maintain last year’s tuition for higher education and I levels, without cutting will continue to work hard to deeply into academic and make Michigan's colleges administrative staff and and universities the best in important college programs. the nation.

Vol. 113-No. 9 — Tuesday. September II, 1984 Nashville ready to celebrate the harvest with weekend festival by Susan Hinckley With Nashville’s 1984 Harvest Festival just three days away, everything appears to be set for another grand and glorious celebration of the harvest - a village tradition since 1906. The three-day event, Sept. 14-16, is sponsored again this year by the Maple Valley Recreational Development Corp., a group of local volunteers dedicated to developing a community recreational park on the banks of the Thornapple River, just west of Nash­ ville’s business district. The annual festival serves as a fund-rasier for con­ tinued improvements and maintenance at the seven­ acre park where ballfields, bleachers, and picnic facilities have Already been installed. The MVRDC has had charge of Nashville's Harvest Festival since 1977. In .earlier earlier years ,the celebration was sponsored by various community organizations. To spark interest of merchants and community groups in entering floats in the 1984 Harvest Festival parade, the MVRDC this year is offering cash prizes totalling $100 for the top three entries. In addition, the MVRDC plans to award a $50 savings bond in a contest to name the new park. Entries in the competition were due by Sept. 7, said chairperson Larry CorkwelL Larry Lenz, Maple Valley assistant principal and director of athletics, will be grand marshall of the parade, which steps off at noon Saturday, Sept. 15, from Putnam Park and marches to the football field at Fuller Street elementary school. Parade entries are to be at Putnam park by 11 a.m. for lineup, says parade chair­ person Marilyn Chaffee. Also due at the park at that same time are entries in the children’s bike-decorating contest. Cash prizes totalling $18 for the three top entries will be awarded, plus a trophy for the “most original,” said Mrs. Chaffee. The youngsters will be en­ couraged to ride their bikes in the parade. Other Saturday events include a 9:30 a.m. pet show for children and a 12:30 p.m. chili cook-off, both to be held at the Maple Street stage. All-day Saturday events include a flea market, arts and crafts show and an ox roast in the Central Park area. Judging of the harvest produce, a traditional highlights of the festival, starts at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Maple Street stage. Entries must be brought to that area by 9 a.m., said chairperson Lois Elliston. On Friday evening, following at 4:30-7 p.m. turkey supper at the United Methodist Church, the festival will be kicked-off with a talent show under direction of Billie Rose. Midway through that event, names of the 1984 Nashville Harvest King and Queen will be announced, and coronation will follow. The royal couple are being selected by penny votes which will not be tallied until noon Friday , and results will be kept secret until the evening show. Male can­ didates are running on the appearance of their legs, not their faces, to add a bit of humor to the race. Morgan Amusements will have carnival rides in the downtown area Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with advance tickets at discount rates now being sold by local merchants. Main Street will be closed during peak activity hours Saturday, said Richard Chaffee, Jr., president of the MVRDC. Permission has been granted by the state Department of Tran­ sportation to temporarily reroute M-66 traffic through Nashville. At Putnam Public Library, Friends of the Library will conduct a used book sale FESTIVAL cont. page 16 Local Seniors Work on Quilt To Raise Funds For 6th Grade Camp Ladies at the Nashville senior citizens' COA Nutrition Site have been keeping busy as bees before and after their daily noon dinners in the Masonic Temple. Under the direction of Ann Schantz they have been cutting squares for a quilt Mrs. Schantz will assemble as a fundraiser for camp attendance by Nashville 6th graders. Working on the project are, clockwise from left, Clara Pennock, Gladys Schantz, Marcella Stewart, Thelma Stewart, Mildred Downs, Ann Schantz and Fern Hawblitz. A similar quilt made last spring by Mrs. Schantz brought in $640 in a raffle conducted by the students of Pauline Hunt at Kellogg School. Again this year the children will help "tie off" the quilt before selling tickets on it. Mrs. Schantz is crafts director at Nashville COA.

This year's fest takes place Friday through Sunday. t School Board ratifies contract with Maple Valley Teachers A two-year agreement with the Eaton County Education Association (Maple Valley teachers) for a four-percent wage increase this school year and a fivepercent pay increase for 1985-86 has been ratified by the Maple Valley Board of Education. The ratification vote at a special Thursday meeting was 5-2, with members Ronald Tobias and Irma Gene Baker voting against the new contract. Teachers had approved the agreement last Tuesday. The new contract provides for a starting salary of $13,432 for teachers with a bachelor’s degree with a top step of $23,706. Salaries for teachers with a master’s degree range from beginning pay of $14,607 to $25,779. Maple Valley Superin­ tendent Carroll J. Wolff said the four-percent increase for 1984-85 and the five-percent increase for 85-86 is based on the BA schedule. A longevity clause in the contract provides for teachers at the top step of the salary schedule to receive $500-extra for the 84-85 school year, a $50 increase over last year, said Wolff. In 85-86, the longevity pay will increase to $550. General basic insurance for teachers remains the same in the new agreement, although he added that premium rates have in­ creased for the same coverage. The hourly pay rate for driver education instructors was increased from $9.15 to $9.40, effective July 1, 1984. At the elementary level, the contract provides for each morning and afternoon recess to be shortened by five-minutes, from 20­ minutes to 15-minutes. Wolff said the change will be evaluated before the end of the second marking period. The noon hour will be ex­ tended 10-minutes and the amount of instructional time will remain the same. Wolff said that for the past two years teachers at the junior-senior high school have been teaching all sixclass periods and will con- tinue doing so for the next two years. However, the new contract calls for teachers to revert back to teaching fiveperiods in 1986-87. The number of paid sickleave days that teachers may accumulate has been increased from 150 to 160­ days this year and the contract expands the time to 165-days during the 1985-86 school year. In the past, teachers have been allowed two-business days, but after June 30, 1986, CONTRACT cont. page 16 Voters asked to approve school millage increase­ Voters in the Maple Valley School District will be asked to approve four-additional mills for operations at a special election that will be held from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 12. The millage increase is being sought for two years. If approved, the increase is expected to generate approximately $404,000 per year. The additional funding is needed primarily to keep pace with general in­ flationary costs, hire two additonal counselors and one additional teacher and ex­ pand the district’s computer program, said Superin­ tendent Car roll J. Wolff. He said the school district has been cited by the University of Michigan for violation of the code for accreditation because of counselor understaffing. According to the criteria set by U of M, Maple Valley should have two full-time counselors for the junior­ senior high school. Con­ sequently, Maple Valley needs an additional coun­ selor for the junior-senior high and one for the elementary grades. A primary need of the district is to expand the computer program at the junior-senior high level and also in the elementary grades, Wolff said. According to the new state aid act, Maple Valley must offer a one-credit computer course to qualify for ad­ ditional aid per student by 1985-86. Wolff said Maple Valley’s current operating millage is one of the lowest in the state. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 11, 1984 — Page 2 Nashville News all of the Woodland area; and Pat Terpening of Hastings. Judy reports that the weather Friday was nice but turned “crisp” oVer the weekend. It was the 10th Labor Day hike across the bridge for the Terpenings and “one of the coldest in years,” noted Judy. Other highlights of their stay in­ cluded biking to St. Ignace for dinner and shopping, and spending Saturday on Mackinac Island. We are sure many other local folks also made the crossing. Among those we know of were Ada Skedgell Yaudes and her children and their families: Nancy and Orvin Moore and youngsters, and Janet and Bill Eastman and children, local. In all, the family group numbered 10, and they combined their hike with the “Walk for Hunger” campaign, raising over $100 for the cause from per-mile sponsors. The “Hunger” fund-raiser is in conjunction with one currently being conducted Christine Bowman of Nashville was the first local resident to phone us to report participating in the annual Labor Day walk across Mackinac Bridge. She and her husband George were making their second trek across the five-mile span. They joined 39,000 other marchers, including Gov. James Blanchard, who made the traditional holiday hike. Marchers are bussed one way and walk back across the bridge. Mrs. Bowman said despite the somewhat chilly temperatures this year the walk was pleasant, for the wind was at their backs. Other Nashville folks making the trek were Judy and Jerry Terpening and children Robin, Bryan, Renee and Eric. Ac­ companying them on their Thursday-to-Monday camping outing were Cindy Hankins, local; Dale and Pat Cook and her children, Bryan and Ginger Friddle, and friends Dena and Lisa.

The Feighners were among the very earliest settlers of Nashville — in fact, Henry Feighner was the first white man to build a home within what is now the corporate limits of the village. The Nashville Fire Dept, was called to the Carroll W. Smith home on Butler Road southwest of Nashville Wednesday forenoon to extinguish a blaze which started as a grease fire on the kitchen range. Mrs. Smith had doused the flames with a fire extinguisher, but before the firemen arrived the blaze had started up again in an adjacent wall. There was smoke damage throughout the house. Nash­ ville Fire Chief Douglas Yarger estimates structural loss at $8,000 and contents at $2,000, both covered by in­ surance. The department was on the scene about an hour. The community was saddened last week to learn that former local resident Therma (Jarrard) Eddy of visiting Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville. Mrs. Arlie Stambaugh of Nashville was a Labor Day weekend guest at the Ramsey home. Labor Day guests of David and Rosalie Murphy of Nashville were Wendell and Shirlee Studt of Woodland; Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Murphy and daughters, and Ray Hinckley, all of Nashville; Mr. and Mrs. Richard Beck of Hastings; Mr. and Mrs. Gary Studt and sons of Lake Odessa; Herb and Marla Rickloff and daughter of Ann Arbor; Steve and Kris Haddix and children, and Brenda Studt, all of Kalamazoo. The occasion was a family baby shower for the newest member of the clan — little Anne Catherine Murphy, who was born August 24 at Anchorage, Alaska, to Les and Kathleen Murphy. After finding some family photos in an old album recently, Marlene Cardenas of Vermontville was able to offer several other iden­ tifications of persons in a 1900 Feighner family reunion picture recently published in Memories.

The latest contributions to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came last week from Richard and Mildred Burd in memory of Robert Banks and Douglas DeCamp, and from Bob and Jane Oaster, Joe and Marge Andrews and Nate and LaDuska Sheldon in memory of Fayetta Marie Denney. 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 contributors and those designated in donations will be inscribed on special scrolls to be displayed in the new room. A special Rally Day at United Methodist Church is planned for September 30. Special events are on the agenda for Sunday School that day. More details will be furnished as the date ap­ proaches. Don’t forget there is still time to buy tickets on the Nashville Chamber of Commerce 50-50 drawing. The winner will split half the cash proceeds of ticket sales with the Chamber. Last year — when tickets were sold for $2 each — the winner was guaranteed at least $500 by the organization. This year, however, the lucky ticket holder will share half of whatever amount has been collected in sales of tickets, before the lucky one is drawn Saturday, during Nashville’s 1984 Harvest Festival. Most merchants have tickets available, $1 each. The Nashville Baptist PFC will have a “Secret Pal Revealing” party Tuesday, Sept. 11, meeting at 7 :30 p.m. at the church and then having dinner at the Country Kettle Cafe. Connie Mire, who will marry David Berkimer on October 13, will be feted at a bridal shower at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 17, at Nash­ ville Baptist Church. Nate and LaDuska Sheldon of rural Nashville were in Ludington last week to visit their son and family, Jim and Lori Sheldon and children Nathan and Kyle.

Tuesday, September 11, 1984 — Page 4 Looking back at Nashville's Grand Parades of the past (Author's note: The offer of cash prizes totalling $100 for the top three floats in the upcoming 1984 Harvest Festival parade prompts a look back at some of Nashville's grand parades of the past.

Can any of our readers identify this early float or its occupants? It is believed to be from a Nashville Harvest Festival. The baby-faced driver looks a bit like a tophatted leprechaun. There also is a small child seated between two adults in the front seat of the buggy. Note the ornate, almost identical, flower-decked bon­ nets worn by the three ladies. The Nashville News entry is seen in this undated festival parade picture. A brightly draped buggy pulled by a lone horse holds two occupants. The girl appears to be Vada Feighner (Kane), daughter of longtime Nashville News pub­ lisher Len W. Feighner. Note spectators sitting on porches of what now are the David Mace home (left) and the Larry Decker residence (right) on State Street. Decked out in patriotic style for a local parade, this waaon advertises ice from Lake One, which is located near Lakeview Cemetery on Nashville's southeast boundry. Drivers are not identified. Picture is undated but it apparently was taken after 1898 when the local Catholic parish remodeled the church (in back­ ground) which they had purchased in 1882 from the Baptist Society, who built it six years earlier. Ice harvested each winter from local lakes and the Thornapple River was packed in layers of sawdust in area icehouses for summertime refrigeration of perishables, and delivered door-to-door by wagon. This 1912 harvest Festival float carrying children dressed in white caps is the Loyal Temperance Legion of Nashville. Holding the reins is Mrs. Ben (Libbie) Reynolds, leader of the group. Queen on the throne is Mildred Purchis (later Mrs. Clarence Mater). ).

Ruth Hughes, chairperson, asks participants to sign up at village hall before Sept. 13. A$1 entry fee will help defray award costs. . The Maple Valley School District is making application to the State Department of Education to receive an amount of $28 per student under Section 21 of P.A. 239 of 1984 (State Aid Act). It is necessary that certain criteria be met before a school district is approved to receive such funds. The estimated income for the Maple Valley School District is $45,000 which may depend upon the official fourth Friday K-12 membership. The school district must make available the following criteria to obtain such funds: six class periods at least 50 minutes in length. Maple Valley has a six period day with the periods being 52 minutes long; four years of English; three years of mathematics; three ■years of science; three years of social studies; two years of foreign language, fine or performing arts, vocational education or practical arts, or any combination thereof; one year of health, physical education or both; a half­ year of computer education beginning in 1985-86. (Ad­ ditional computer equipment will be necessary allowing students in the program additional time working with the computers.)

A school district -like Maple Valley may actually obtain more dollars for educating students through increasing the millage rate for operational purposes under the current state aid program. This is known as the state-local sharing of the cost of educating students. Under the present state aid act the school district receives approximately $1 from the state for ever dollar paid locality to help educate Maple Valley students. 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 Happy 16th J® Birthday 16 September 17 Heather Louise Christie We Love YouI jg jg ^g 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 ANNOUNCING, r.Husqvarna Chain Saw Sales & Service Maple Valley Lawn & Garden — SALES and SERVICE — “We Fix it Right the first Time” *10% OFF All Parts Corner of Nashville Hwy. and Arbor Road • Phone 726-0133 Stop in for a Demonstration!

All school electors who are registered with the city or township clerk of the city or township in which they reside are eligible to vote at this election. The school district had a levy of 25.01 mills this past school year for operational purposes. The state average is in excess of thirty-one mills, and Maple Valley has one of the lowest millage rates in the State of Michigan plus having one of the lowest general fund provided students par­ ticipating in a six period instruction day. A goal in 1984-85 is that twenty percent of the students enrolled in grades 9-12 be enrolled in six classes instead of five. However, because this is the first year of the program a district may apply to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for a waiver. Goals have been established by the State Department for the school years 1985-86 and 1986-87, and it is evident that the state requirements will be expanded and a school district will have to meet such criteria to receive additional state financial support. The special operational millage election will be held Wednesday, Sept. 12. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. Voters in precinct I will be voting in the Kellogg gymnasium and voters in precinct II will be voting in the kindergarten room at Maplewood born and raised there, and has gone back to visit recently.

Brenton inherits a team which won only three of 20 games a year ago and which has only two seniors. In fact, four freshman have made the 1984 varsity. “We don’t have much experience,” said Brenton. “We’ll just have to learn to play together, even though we haven’t had enough time on the floor together.” Heading th* tcaiii are senior guards Duska Morawskii and Lynette Williams, both capable scorers. Junior center Carol Lamie, a three-year lettermen, sophomore guard Beth Starring, and junior forward Melissa Brenton round out the returnees. Freshman Dawn Morawski, who led the team in scoring with 11 in the team’s 58-42 opening game loss to Saranac, will carry a heavy load of the scoring. Brenton said Dawn along with Duska, a two-year starter, and Starring are pure shooters. “They’re excellent shooters,” he said. "Plus they have a lot of quickness.” Brenton likes last year’s SMAA champ, Pennfield, and St. Philip to wage a battle for the league’s top spot this year.

Brenton is careful in putting them near the top. “I have to be realistic,” he said. “My goal right now is to teach these girls team basketball.

Three other key seniors are Jeff The team is not entirely It may be only the second year of Maple Valley’s cross country program, but coach Don Roscoe believes his team can compete with the SMAA’s finest. Roscoe, with his top five runners returning from last year’s 4-6 team, says his team can finish as high as third in the league. “We’re looking to finish third in a conference which is tough for cross country,” admits Roscoe, “and we also want to qualify for state.” The Lions will have to bang heads with Bronson and St. Philip to rise any higher in the league. Bronson features one of the top runners in the state while defending champ St. Philip has two of its top runners returning. “With our senior experience, though, we can finish third,” said Roscoe. are freshmen they are ready for varsity competition, says Booher. “Most of them play all summer,” said Booher. The team won regionals and finished fourth in the state last year. Booher said those goals top 1984’s “ToDo” list, along with beating out St. Philip for the league title. “It’ll be difficult to do that, but those are our goals,” said Booher. Lion Cross country team returns top five runners Sports Maple Valley opens season with 8-8 tie at Fowler Maple Valley’s varsity opened its season on what must be considered a bright spot last Friday as they battled Fowler to an 8-8 tie. Fowler maintained its record of only one regular season loss since the 1981 season, while Maple Valley ran its string of games without a loss to nine. The last Maple Valley loss was to Fowler a year ago. Neither team could score in the first quarter, but the Lions struck first in the second quarter when they marched 94 yards in eight plays following a Fowler punt. Ryan Trowbridge raced 49 yards up the middle behind good line blocking and excellent downfield blocking by Jess Bahs. The try for extra point failed, leaving the score 6-0 6-0, Fowler then marched 70 yards in 10 plays following the ensuing kickoff. Dean Koenigsknecht, the quar­ terback, scored the toudhdown on an 11 yard run. His pass to Bill Snyder for the two point conversion was good for an 8-6 Fowler lead. Two possessions later, Fowler fared a 44th and 22 following a quarterback sack by Skip Wyskowski, with the wrapped around seniors, says Booher. Nineteen players includeing 9 fresh­ men dot the roster. Fresh­ men Brock Degroot, Scott Lenz, and. Lloyd Cooper along with junior Bob Mc­ Millan should also help the squad. Booher said the key to Maple Valley’s success is a junior program which starts in the seventh grade. The boys also play in eighth grade and by the time they ball resting on the 18 yard line, Fowler made a bad snap to punter Joe Bertram. Bertram recovered the ball in the end zone and was tackled there by Robert Browne and Terry Hall for the safety and an 8-8 tie. The score remained the same for the remainder of the game although the Lions did dominate the second half. There were several bright spots for Maple Valley in the game, including a fine defensive effort by the entire team. Ryan Trowbridge ran 58 yards on 6 carries, Robert Browne added 56 yards on 22 carries. Defensively, the Lions were led by Skip Wyskowski, Chug Maurer, Mark Hess and Kurt Hartenburg, with eight tackles each. Ryan Trowbridge added six tackles, Gary Reid intercepted a pass, and Terry Hall recovered a fumble. Next week the Lions host Olivet in an S.M.A.A. showdown of title contenders. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Last year Maple Valley won 26-18 as Marty Martin intercepted an Olivet pass in the end zone as time ran out.

Sylvia pinch hits for Loretta at Sandyland By Steve Reid Filling in for a country music legend isn’t the most easy thing to do, but Sylvia’s performances Labor Day at Sandyland Park minimized the disappointment of the over 4,000-fans that had shown up to see Loretta Lynn. Because her mother-in-law was near death, Loretta cancelled her performances and left Sandyland owners Lonny and Sue Kienutske seeking someone of star status to perform for the expected record crowd. Sylvia was performing in Wisconsin and was able to make the Sandyland stop on her way back to Tennessee. Sylvia’s warm stage presence and popular country hits quickly won Over most of the crowd. In addition to her hits, “Drif­ ter,” “Snapshot,” “Tum­ bleweed,” and “Nobody,” she performed songs from her new album, “Surprise.” She was suppoted by a fine band which featured her husband, Tom Rutledge, on lead guitar. " Opening for Sylvia was Bob Wurst and Buckeye from Ohio. Wurst mixed his own songs such as “Keep Tellin’ Me You Want Me” with many popular country tunes. Especially well received was a medley of songs with impressions by Wurst of such stars as Marty Robbins, Freddy Fender, Hank Snow, Mel Tillis and Elvis Presley. His Elvis-styled vocal quality was impressive on such songs as “The Wonder of You,” “C.C. Rider,” “American Trilogy,” “Amazing Grace,” and “How Great Thou Art.” The latter two songs resulted in a standing ovation as he completed his set. Those who camped at the park over the weekend had the opportunity to hear W.B. and the Western Union on Saturday night. They played songs from his new album, “Just a Good Old Boy From Grand Ledge.” EWING WELL DRILLING Your dependable drillers in Eaton & Barry Counties WATER WELL DRILLING and PUMP SERVICE OFFERING COMPLETE ...

Increases were also allowed in the new contract for reimbursement to teachers who take classes. The $16.50 previously paid for tuition per semester hour has been raised to $21; and the reimbursement for tuition per term hour has been increased from $11 to $14. After June 30,1986, those amounts will increase to $26.25 per semester hour and $17.50 per term hour. The maximum tuition reimbursement was extended from $350 to $375. In a miscellaneous provision, the contract provides that if the state requires the district to make­ up “snow days” the school will not have to pay ad­ ditional teacher salaries. This clause was added because of the new state aid act which enables the state to require districts to make­ up snow days if teacher contracts are not ratified by October 1. The school calendar set in the new agreement calls for teachers to have 184-work days and for students to attend school 181-days. The state requires 180-days of school. The contract also allows for job sharing with a proration of benefits and salary between two teachers. this meeting or is interested in a troop, the troop for second and third graders will meet Wednesday after school from 2:30-3:45 p.m. She will need a permission slip to take to her teacher stating she will be staying after school on Wednesdays for scouts.

Local youths win awards at 4-H Poultry Expo Three Eaton County 4-H members placed well at the Michigan 4-H Poultry Expo held recently at Michigan State University. Chad Burt of Charlotte placed first in the In­ termediate Egg Preparation Contest, second in In­ termediate Pullet Judging, and sixth in Intermediate Fitting and Showmanship. In addition, Chad’s White Silkie was selected as the Cham­ pion Bantam, and his Blue Cochin received a fifth place in the state-wide competition. Matt Pion of Olivet was selected as the top showman in the Junior Fitting and Showmanship Contest and Faith Wells from Ver­ montville was named the Champion Showman in the Intermediate Fitting and Showmanship Contest. Congratulations to our Eaton County winners. The purpose of this annual state-wide event is to en­ courage 4-H members to broaden their skills and expertise in poultry and related fields. The 1984 Poultry Expo included a rapidly. If the abnormalities are found in the early stages, they usually can be kept from getting worse and from doing serious damage. Treatment is simple and more effective when the conditions are detected early. By screening students who are in the year'* rapid growth, early det< •-! will be possible. Partic“iion in the program is voluntary. It is hoped that most partents will want 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. Treat­ ment, when necessary, usually consists of a back brace that helps to correct the condition and keeps it from progressing. The brace does not interfere with most activities, including non­ contact sports. In more advanced cases, surgery is required. Students who are found to need further evaluation during the first screening will be rescreened at a later date in October by a Public Health consultant from MDPH, Division of Services to Crippled Children. Both the initial screening and rescreening are conducted at no charge to the school or student. Parents will be notified and urged to take the student to a physician or Scoliosis clinic for further evaluation ifindicated by the rescreening. Spinal screening (Scoliosis) is an annual event in our schools. Ex­ perience elsewhere shows that after a few years of annual screening, the need for surgery can be eliminated almost entirely. Many young people who might have developed a permanent disability or deformity remain fully active and show virtually no signs of a serious condition. If parents have any questions, they are en­ couraged to contact their local health department.

In August, several members participated in the State Tractor Driving Contest held during the Ionia poultry show, fitting and showmanship contests, an egg throwing contest, chicken and turkey barbecue contests, an egg production contest, carcass judging, egg grading, poultry identification and quiz, and egg preparation contests. The Barry-Eaton District Health Department is conducting a program to detect a spinal abnormality called Scoliosis in young people. The program, which is carried out in a joint effort with the schools in Barry and Eaton counties and health professionals, is being conducted during the months of September-and October. Students in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades will be examined at school for the spinal curvature. The examination is done -by looking for irregularities from both the front and side as the student stands straight and then bends forward. Public Health nurses, school nurses and physical education teachers will be conducting the examinations. Each examination takes about 30 seconds. Spinal deformities often develop during the years of early adolesence when ypung people grow very Free Fair in Ionia.

No decisions have been made yet regarding how the defeat will affect the school district’s programs, Superintendent J. Carroll Wolff said Monday morning. “We’ll have to review the total budget and the finance committee will be meeting to look at it,” he said. Voters defeated the millage request by 785-672.

King and Queen — Tony Dunkleberger and Diane Heyboer. In all, six women and four men entered the contest. To add humor to this year’s crowning, potential kings were judged by their legs, and the last-place gams determined who got the booby prize. That honor went to Walter Blakely (spon­ sored by Clay’s Dinner Bell) , who won the “Knobby Knees Award”, to wit: panty hose. Friday night saw the Harvest Fest Committee’s naming of the winner of the “Name the Park” contest: Kristen Brckyzi, and her entry, “Riverfront Park.” No longer will Nashvillites refer to the recently developed piece of land as. “the park behind the stores.” Contests were the order of the day Saturday, with produce, chili, pets, minitractors, bicycles, floats and fire departments all being judged, in one way or another. Nashville’s top dogs (and cats and rats, and even a boa constrictor) competed in the pet contest in seven different catagories — cutest, best dressed, most congenial, biggest, smallest and most unusual, with the addition of a rabbit category. Winners are Brandi Secord and Sammie amme Jo o (cutest), cues , Cindy ny Adrini and Snoopy (best dressed), Buffy Roberts and Monty (most congenial), Steve Hay and Pierre (biggest), Tiffany Arciszewski and Fred (smallest), Joe Sprague and Brutal (the boa constrictor, most unusual!), and John Sprague and Bunn (rabbit). Produce entry winners are Rogers won afibbon for her “best o-f sh■ow” arrangement of fresh produce. The parade spa vned two district’s registered voters turned out for the election. Voters also defeated a request for additional millage in June. Wolff said members of the board felt that a “meeting should be arranged with representatives of the State Department of Education regarding possible options available to the Maple Valley School District. “It was agreed that another election would not be scheduled this fall,” he said, If the millage had been approved, the revenues would have been used to cover the cost of inflationary expenses, hire two additional counselors and one additional teacher and expand the district’s computer program. contests: one for best contests: decorated bikes, and one for best floats.

Robert Taylor, who has pastored the Nashville Assembly of God for the past 18 years, will tie honored at a special Pastor Appreciation Day, Sunday, Sept. 23. Special speaker at the 11 a.m. service will be Rev. Raymond Warnick of Grass Lake. After worship, there will be a surprise luncheon in honor of Rev. Taylor at the Fellowship Hall in the church, and the public is invited to attend. The event is being kept a secret from the pastor. (Organizers hope to keep him from reading the ’News this week). Pastor Taylor is a native of Beulah, Michigan, and came here in 1966 from Charlotte. He has been a minister for 35 years. During his tenure in Nashville, the Assembly of God has moved from their first home in a Main Street store building to the new church they built at 803 Reed Street. In 1968 the eogregation held their first service in the new sanctuary, which since that time has been expanded and improved. The parsonage is located adjacent to the church on its property bordering the Thornapple River. Robie and Adrien Pufpaff of Nashville are especially looking forward to their 56th wedding anniversary on Sept. 20th, for they expect their son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Pufpaff of Raleigh, North Carolina, to be here for the occasion. The family is planning a picnic gathering at the Pufpaff home to celebrate the event. Adrien and the former Robie Davis were married Sept. 20, 1928, at Elkhart, Indiana. Both are Nashville natives. In addition to Clifton they have two other sons, Ken­ neth of Florida, and Harold of Nashville. Birthday congratulations go out to Rufus Howenstein ofNashville, who marked his 92nd on Wednesday, Sept. 12. He still enjoys good health, says Mrs. Howenstein, who was born and raised in southern Illinois before moving to Detroit where he was employed for 30 years by the city. In 1949 he moved to a small farm in the Ver­ montville area, and then thirteen years ago moved into Nashville. This is an anr extra special month for Rufus, as he and his wife Grace also will mark their 70th wedding anniversary on Sept. 30. Several streets in Nash­ ville were paved last week in a $36,886 project. The work was done by Reith-Riley of Battle Creek. Blacktopped were Philadelphia Street from Bridge Street to M-66; East Street south to the limits (near village Cemetery); Lakeview Middle Street from Reed north to the river; Casgrove Street east from State to the top of Peck’s Hill (near the municipal transfer-recycling center); and School Street, adjacent to Fuller Street elementary. The work on Philadelphia also included paving a parking strip adjacent to the Community Center building at Putnam Park, which should make walking in that area more pleasant in the “muddy” season. The first meeting of the new season for Nashville’s Woman’s Literary Club is set for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 19, at the home of Linda Boldery. The program will 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.

Her friends here were saddened last week to learn of the death Sept. 5, of Valerie (Edmonds) Linter at Jacksonville, Florida. Mrs. Linter, 40,- who was adopted and raised by Dorothy Edmonds and Alice Fisher of Nashville, had been in failing health for a number of years and was a patient at Jacksonville Health Center at the time of her death. She was a 1962 graduate of Nash­ ville High school, and had attended U. of M., Where she met and married her husband. The couple then moved to St. Louis, Missouri, and later to Florida. Two children survive, son Scott and daughter Melissa, in addition to the husband. Memorial services were held Saturday in Florida. Dorothy Edmonds and Alive Fisher on Sunday attended the 30th reunion of the Robert Fisher family at Coldwater. Those attending were children and descen­ dants of Miss Fisher’s parents, who came from The Netherlands to America in 1912. There were six children who came to the U.S with their parents, and all but Alice live in Coldwater, where her father once owned a large dairy farm on which the sons worked until they completed school. The Fisher family now numbers around 150, and 89 of them were present Sunday to enjoy the close relationship that they share. They also shared a bountiful dinner and an update on lives of the families and new members, which included three brides and several new babies. The reunion was .held at the 4-H Clubhouse, as it is each year. Though considered to be a potluck affair, the family buys 30 lbs. of ham, 200 doughnut holes and pounds of coffee and a decorated sheet, cake to serve 100 people “While I was in Nashville, Duff Eddy didn’t run the White Rose station. It was his Dad, Jim Edddy,” wrote former local resident Guy Howell of Tucson, Arizona in By Susan Hinckley a recent letter. Howell, who has a remarkable eye for detail and vivid memory of his years in this village, brought to our attention our mistake in the August 28th Memories story about the North End garage. We had known that Jim Eddy ran the White Rose, and his son Duff worked for him as a mechanic, for a story on that family also appeared in a Memories back in April 1980. (Jim’s daughter Gladys Eddy Perkins Hummel helped us with that article and furnished photos for it) Duff, whose real name is Arthur, serviced the cars which were brought into the Eddy station. He later went to work as a fireman on the railroad, then became an engineer, said Howell. Duff now lives at Grass Lake. Another unidentified reader also caught our “slip” and sent a letter postmarked in Saginaw. It carried no return address, and no signature, but pointed out that it was Duff’s parents, James A. and Lena Eddy, who owned the White Rose station. If the writer will get in touch with us, we will be glad to give him or her credit for the in­ formation. We appreciate all input we can get on the Memories series. Guy Howell, by the way, is currently working on yet another series of Memories stories to contribute to our column in the future. His writings have appeared in seven past “episodes” and were very well received by our readers. We are looking forward to the upcoming articles. The latest contributions to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came last week in memory of John Gaedert from Lee and Thelma Christopher, James and Betty Pierce, Tom and Beverly Oleson, and from Bill and Eva Hampton.

September 18, 1984 — Page 4 Recollections of 1927 Harvest Festival Nashville’s Harvest Festival and Homecoming of 1927 was a success in every aspect. Fine weather and a splendid program of sports, contests and free attractions brought out a record at­ tendance. The two-day event, August 11 and 12, added another chapter to the annual celebration established in 1906. Each year The Nashville News could be counted on to fur­ nish a comprehensive report of the festival "doings". Although no photos ac­ companied local stories of that era, vivid word pictures painted a graphic accounting for News readers who missed seeing the activities first-hand. Reprinted below are excerpts of the festival coverage as published in the August 18, 1927 issue of The Nashville News. ‘‘Satisfaction could be read from the faces of those who attended the big two-day Harvest Festival and Homecoming celebration on Thursday and Friday of last week. The big program wa carried out each day as advertised, with several added attractions. No ac­ cidents or petty thieving were reported, and order reigned supreme throughout both days. Although the forenoon crowds were not large, we believe the af­ ternoon and evening atndance far out-numbered any previous gathering in Nashville. “Surely, Nashville’s celebration this year may rightly go down on record as a complete success in every particular, in number of attendance, and for the high class of its free attractions. “The program Thursday morning was opened at ten o’clock by a band concert of home talent players, with Dr. W. G. Davis as leader. Diving off the North Main Street bridge into the Thornapple River was a highlight of sports contests featured at Nashville's 1927 Harvest Festival. Robert Mason made the "prettiest" dive, while George Halcrow took honors for the "clumsiest." Jack Nelson won top money in the high dive category, while Helen Chaffee earned first place in the girls' division. Footraces, flour-blowing contests, ball games, flying exhibitions, band concerts, and stage shows also entertained 1927 festival-goers. This local organization furnished the music during both day’s entertainment, and the leaders and mem­ bers of the band received many fine compliments for their splendid music. Following the opening number by the band the sports and contests took up the time during the forenoon. “First was the 100-yard dash for boys under 12. Gordon Bera won first prize; George Halcrow of Chicago, second. Next was the 100yard dash for girls under 12. Ruth Rodgers won first; Nellie Curtis, second. The fat man’s race, 200 pounds or over, followed. Clare Pen­ nock won first; Carl Bean, second. In the free for all race, 100 yards, Clayton Johnson took first money; Lloyd Austin second money. “The flour-blowing contest afforded a great deal of amusement for the spec­ tators. First money went to Henry Tieche, and second money to Hugh McNitt. The crowd then witnessed the boxing contest for boys under 12. Contestants in the first match were Ralph McNitt, Jr., and Harold Graham; second match, Glenn Boise and Kenneth Roscoe; third match, Keith Nelson and Hugh McNitt. “Following the noon hour, at 1:00 o’clock, the band again called the throng together in front of the platform, where the free vaudeville attractions were staged. The free acts were exceptionally well received by the audience and were put on by the actors in a very commendable manner, the order of their appearance was changed with each program. Following is the program of free attractions: Doc DeNile and his three trained dogs; Rolf & Kennedy, lady and gent balancing ladder, sensational revolving ladder; London Blunt, aerial con­ tortion act; Claude Arm- This view of Nashville' Main Street was taken probably in 1927, the year the annual nual Harvest Festival-Homecoming was rated "a complete success in every particular by The News, noting: "No accidents or petty thieving were reported and order reigned supreme throughout both days" of the August 11-12 event' John Appelman's grocery in seen in the 1880 Buxton Block (at right) where he relocated in the latter part of 1925. If there was one thing that Nashville's 1927 Harvest Festival lacked, it was a balloon ascension - a traditional feature at the annual event beginning with four lift-offs during the celebration's debut in 1906.

The kid sure has the makin’s of a wonder in his line of en­ tertainment. “The Silvertone quartet of colored singers made three appearances. This colored quartet proved to be favorites of their hearers with their high class singing, and they have a reputation too well known as record­ makers and over radio to make it necessary for us to say anything further regarding their work. “Following the vaudeville program the crowd repaired to the ball diamond and witnessed the game between Sunfield and the Nashville Independents, which was a hectic fray from start to finish, with the lead swinging back and forth until the final part of the game when Nash­ ville shoved across the winning run and several more for good measure.” (The final score was 14-8.) “...After the ball game, the airplane piloted by Claude Greenfield soared over the throng at a high altitude, and a beautfiul parachute drop was witnessed. The drops were made by Mr. Snyder of the Davis & Felix Airplane Corporation of Battle Creek. “Mr. Snyder made one drop on Thursday and two on Friday, and landed safely each of the three times. Following the drop, Mr. Greenfield entertained the spectators with his exhibition flying. Claude is rapidly climbing to the forefront as an aviator, and is highly recommended by Messrs. Davis and Felix. “At 7:30 there was another band concert, followed by the free stage performances. This closed the program for the first day, but the crowds lingered about the streets until a late hour. “Friday’s program opened with a band concert. The program of sports contests followed. The crowd then went to the river bridge on North Main Street and witnessed the swimming and diving contests. “The prettiest dive from the top of the railing was made by Robert Mason; second prettiest dive was made by Clarence Green­ field; third by Ronald Graham. “Winners of the clumsiest dive were George Halcrow, first; Dorothy Graham, second. In the swimming contest there were three contestants. Clarence Greenfield won first money; Lloyd Austin, second; and Harold Wright, third. “In the high dive from the top of the bridge, distance about 50 feet, Jack Nelson won first money; Will Hubbard, second. In the girl’s dive, first was won by Miss Helen Chaffee. The winner of this contest also received an individual prize of $1, given by C. L. Glasgow. “In the afternoon, following the band concert, the free performances were staged on the platform, which were a repetition of the performances on Thursday. An airplane exhibition flight and parachute drop then took place before the ball game between Lake Odessa and the local team was called. “Friday’s game with Lake Odessa was a replica of the contest on the preceding day, an exhibition of all kinds of ball playing with plenty of hitting mixed in. Nashville held the lead all the way, the game ending with the count 15 to 5. “It was Bill Martin’s turn on the mound, and he set the opponents down scoreless for the first six innings. A pass, two hits and a couple of fumbles gave them four tallies in the seventh, however, and they bunched a couple of hits for another counter in the eight. “Noble started in the box for L.O., but the locals started an assault right at the opening of the game, scoring two runs in the first frame and three in the second. Noble then changed places with his battery mate, Perkins, who yielded three tallies in the third, two in the seventh, and five in the eighth. Hess got the longest hit of the game, but was caught at the plate, trying to stretch it into a homer.” Computer programming included in adult classes The Maple Valley­ Lakewood Adult Education classes began Wednesdy Sept. 12, however, there is still time to enroll.

This village had a good school, winning sports teams, and a good reputation as a good place to live. Then things started to happen. The school was told it needed to do this and that or it would lose its accreditation, several milleage proposals were turned down and the school limped on. As time went on the school cut hours, programs, staff, everything except the grass. Young people stopped moving into the great little town, businesses started to close, and houses sat unsold due to a failing school system. The school in time died, and larger districts were happy to scoop up the little village’s children who now were bussed thirty to forty miles each way. The town, that great community died because without a good school a town dies, without an excellent school new people do not move in, and without new people, the town dies. It becomes another wide spot in the road. Nashville-Vermontville, don’t let our schools slide away from us. Excellent schools create an increased business climate, higher real estate values, and a better community. If the millage proposal is again brought to us to vote upon, let’s pass it and stay involved with our schools. Sincerely, F.C. Babcock, Jr. Nashville, MI ’---- 0----To the Editor: Get out your bloody daggers and sharpen up your fangs, folks. Anybody that is foolish enough to write an open letter to the community probably deserves what they get. “If you can’t stand the heat - get out of the kitchen”, I hear and reply; Some of us care enough to stay and bear the heat and try to work to improve things. “A community ultimately ends up with the kind of school system it deserves”, some of you heard me say, and in some ways I still believe that. Yet, many people deserve better. Certainly the young people of Maple Valley deserve better. In my opinion you cer­ tainly didn’t have an out­ standing school when my own children were attending (6-10 years ago), and I can honestly say, that program looks mighty good compared to what we have today. What we have today looks mighty good compared to what we would have today, if it weren’t for a tremendous, self-sacrificing effort on the part of dedicated, hard working citizens and staff, who have kept the athletic and academic programs from falling apart. I don’t expect thanks for the many things I do to help students, or the things I buy for their use, or for classroom use. I choose to do these things-I am not forced to. I didn’t expect, nor see anyone show appreciation when I took a pay freeze a couple of years ago, or saw my income fail to keep pace with cost of living for several years. I didn’t expect, and haven’t heard “thank you” to any of the high school teachers who have for two years each taught an extra class per day, and will continue to do so for two more years at a savings of about $100,000 per year to the community. I do expect though, enough loyalty and courtesy for you to realize I have the right to choose where I spend what I do earn. If my husband and I choose to work, manage our money, and have a swim­ ming pool, rather than some of the other things people choose, that’s our business, not yours. I realize it would be im­ possible to convince some of you that teaching is work, or that we’re not overpaid. l am not writing this to complain about my pay. I like teaching at Maple Valley, however, I assure you I earn every penny I’m paid and more too. Let me say two things: 1.) If I had stayed in Hastings Schools, this year I would have earned $5,600 more than I will at Maple Valley. 2.) Even with the new teachers contract we have the lowest pay schedule in Eaton County. More imporant than how you feel about me, what I earn, and how I spent it, is another issue: Voter support for an adequate education for Maple Valley students. On the surface you will not see many changes in the Maple Valley Schools this year because of the millage defeat. I ask you, however, to be aware that we have a situation where there will be a snowballing effect. If we don’t approve substantial additional millage soon, I truly feel sorry for Maple Valley students. I don’t know what these young people have done to you to cause such an un­ caring attitude. I find most all fo them to be really very nice people. Either you do not care, or are sadly misinformed and do not realize what has happened and is happening rf iyour best at all times I* &*.. •EASON ANALYSIS »((>17 » (**,, >>* *17 17 COLOR CODING to our schools. Let me list a few reminders: 1. Teaching staff has been cut from 96 to 75 people. 2. Many elementary and high school courses are gone. 3. All athletics have been cut (but are being main­ tained through efforts of volunteers). 4. The school fund equity has dwindled making it necessary to borrow money against state aid. 5. Custodians, secretaries, and bus drivers have gone 15 months without contracts or fair wages. Even though I will con­ tinue to teach at Maple Valley, it distresses me to see other dedicated, hard working, excellent teachers actively seeking other jobs. As I look ahead to what Maple Valley Schools may be like, if they exist a few year from now, and think of the trauma this community may experience in the process of getting there, and of what the cost of this is going to be to the students who are unlucky enough to be at this stage of their life at this time, sadness over­ whelms me. Obviously, people put their money and time on things they value. The parents and citizens who have been helping to keep the school program going do value their children and education. Of the 529 school districts in Michigan (1982-83) Maple Valley ranked 509 in operational monies raised per pupil. Is Maple Valley really this poor? It seems unbelievable to me that a community as basically good as this one can place such a low priority on educating their children.

School Report by Supt. Carroll J. Wolff The following is a tabulation of the votes cast at the Special millage election held Wednesday, Sept. 12: Nashville - 334 Yes; 449 No; 7 Spoiled Ballots; 790 Total. Vermontville 338 Yes; 336 No; 11 Spoiled Ballots; 685 Total. Totals: 672 Yes; 785 No; 18 Spoiled Ballots; and 1,475 Total. The number of voters Wednesday represented thirty percent of the registered electors in the school district compared with sixteen percent of the registered electors voting at the annual election held in June. At that time the 3.5 millage proposal was defeated 330 yes and 431 no. The .5 mill for extra curricular was defeated in June 323 yes to 438 no. After the election results were known Wednesday night there was a general discussion of what should be considered following the defeat of the millage. Members in the audience including several members of the Active Citizens for Education committee ex­ pressed their concerns regarding the future educational outlook for the Maple Valley students. At this time the school district will continue to borrow funds within the amount of $445,967 as ap­ proved by the State Department of Education plus using the cash fund balance of $174,598 as shown in the annual school district financial report as com­ pleted by the school auditors. The millage was for a period of two years including reinstatement of programs, and programs will not be reinstated. A financial problem exists which will be even more critical in the 1985-86 school year. It was the general consensus that a meeting should be arranged with representatives of the State Department of Education regarding possible options available to the Maple Valley School District. It was agreed that another election would not be scheduled this fall.

Some celebrated the millage defeat, as they clarified where their values lie. I am one teacher who wants to know when the no voters will take respon­ sibility for their own school system before the State of Michigan comes in and does it for them. These facts remain: -1. Curriculum cuts and changes have hurt the quality of education at Maple Valley. -2. Nineteen teachers have already been laid-off. -3. Three most qualified and dedicated teachers resigned from Maple Valley this fall. —4. In spite of begrudged pay increases, Maple Valley teachers still remain among -W the lowest paid teachers in Michigan. Choosing to teach at Maple Valley is an economic sacrifice in itself. It is an excellent indication of M.V. faculty dedication. The highly celebrated school board member was correct in saying “life goes on”. The sun rose Thursday morning and the buses rolled.

The Board of Education has the complete authority to estab­ lish that 25.01 mills be levied in 1984 from within its present authorized millage rate. The maximum additional proposed millage rate would in­ crease revenues for operating purposes from ad valorem property tax levies in 1984 otherwise permitted by Act 5, Public Acts of Michigan, 1982 by two and four tenths percent (2.4%). 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 1984-85 school year is $59,751,089.00 compared with 1983-84 state equalized valuation of $57,731,089.00. 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 that 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.

But as the days get cooler and the nights longer, the chlorophyll breaks down. Then the yellow and orange pigments that have been in the leaves all along become more apparent.” The red hues come about for a slightly different reason. The cooler tem­ peratures trigger a hiber­ nation mechanism within each tree. This mechanism creates a sort of plug at the end of each leaf stem, in effect cutting off the leaf’s circulation. When this plug forms, a certain amount of sugar is trapped in the leaf. It is this sugar that makes the leaf turn red in the cold. It is the plug that also makes the leaf fall from the tree. “All these different events create the tremendous variety of colors,” Koelling says. “The color depends in parton the variety of tree. In the sugar maple quite a bit of sugar is trapped, creating the brilliant reds. In the beech tree, however, the opposite is true, so the tree stays yellow.” It is normal for most leafy trees to turn color and drop their leaves, but if a tree turns color unusually early, it could be a sign that the plant is unhealthy. The early color is a sign that the growing process of the plant was not completed. The conditions most favorable for a brightly colored fall are bright, sunny, warm days and cool nights. “If this kind of weather occurs through September to mid-October, we can expect very good color,” Koelling says. “If we have an early hard frost, the brown colors will dominate, and ifwe have cloudy wet weather, the colors will be more dull.” A weekly report from - ERNEST NASH State Representative PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT OP­ POSED BY COMMITTEE - The House Committee on Constitutional Revision and Women’s Rights has defeated a proposed federal constitutional amendment that calls for a national constitutional convention to develop a new amendment to the Constitution of the United States that would require the U.S. Congress and the President to maintain a balanced federal budget. A “discharge motion” is anticipated by the full House of Representatives this week, requiring a simple majority (55 votes) to get the bill out of committee and on to the House floor for a vote. Thirtytwo states have already approved the amendment and only two more are needed before the U.S. Congress is required to take action. The Michigan Senate has already approved the balanced budget amendment. LEGISLATION WOULD EXPAND USE OF OFF-THEROAD VEHICLES - Legislation has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives that would allow counties, cities, villages and townships, in cooperation with local law enforcement authorities, to establish laws per­ taining to the use of off-the-road vehicles (ORVs) on selected public streets and roads. The bill, H.B. 5585, if adopted, would give three-wheeled motor bikes, dune buggies, dirt bikes and other similar recreational vehicles the same road use options that local units of government have granted snowmobiles.

Director A sound pest management strategy to protect stored grain starts before harvest. Many insect infestations in stored grain originate in old grain in combines, trucks, grain wagons or bins. Cosequently, the best ap­ proach to protecting against subsequent infestations in new grain is to clean equipment and bins to destroy residual insect populations and to treat the storage structure with an insecticide. If bins are not currently storing grain, the floors and sidewalls should be swept clean and sprayed with malathion or methoxychlor. These treatments should be applied about two weeks prior to harvest. Mix malathion 57 percent EC at the rate of one gallon per 25 gallons of water to cover 12,500 square feet of bin surface or one gallon of methoxychlor 24 percent EC in 10 gallons of water to cover 5,500 square feet. If the new crop is going to be added to grain presently in storage, fumigation of the old grain should be con­ sidered before adding the new crop. For best results, the storage bin must be airtight during the 72 hr. fumigation period. Since fumigants are extremly toxic gases, wear protective gear approved for use with the fumigant of choice (consult the fumigant label for recommendations). Never attempt fumigation alone. Corn (but not soybeans) can also be treated as it goes into the storage to protect against stored grain insects. Use malathion 57 percent EC at the rate of one pint in two to five gallons of water applied for 1,000 bushels of grain as it is being elevated or augered.

The offensive attack was paced by quarterback Dan Franks and running back Jason Hoefler. Franks had eleven carries totalling 85 yards, while Hoefler ran the ball the same number of times for 79 yards. Other ball carriers included Derek Brown with 21 yards, Jeff Moore with 16 yards and Scott Casteele with six yards on the games first score on a reverse play. Franks led the team with 18 points with Hoefler and Moore each scoring an extra point. The Vermontville passing game was established with Franks completing three tosses to flanker Casteele. Hoefler completed a touch­ down toss to Franks on a halfback option play. Ver­ montville scored in the first, second and fourth periods. Excellant play was recorded by the offensive line led by center Matt Heinze and tackle Marc Nehmer. the punting game was out­ standing with Mike Dennis launching several kicks and Mike Martin making good center passes back to setup those kicks. On the defense Ver­ montville displayed shutout form. Mike Dennis led all tacklers with ten stops from a defensive guard and tackle slot. Corner backs Hoefler and Brown made six and five tackles respectively and along with Jeff Moore, two tackles, and Travis Hokanson, three stops, ef­ fectively shut down the Nashville outside game. Other tackle totals in­ cluded linebacker Dan Franks with six, interior lineman Dave McBrayer with five middle linebacker Scott Casteele with four, safety Brent Haag with three and linemen Matt Heinze and Marc Nehmer each making a single stop. Mike Martin also made a single stop. Coaches were unanimous in praise for Kirk MacKenzie’s play both as a defensive starter and of­ fensive lineman. Also seeing action for the winners was Bill Woodbury. The sxith grade team is coached by Orv Moore, Bob Franks, Rod Heinze and Dennis Casteele. The coaching staff expressed appreciation for the out­ standing parental support their program has received this year.

Lions cross-country team disappointed This past week, the Maple Valley runners lost a close meet to Bellevue by 30 seconds and a win to Saranac when a Lion runner was disqualified. On Tuesday, the Lions traveled to Bellevue for a league meet and as expected it was very close. The lack of team depth and overall slow times cost the Lions a vic­ tory over last year’s con­ ference runner-ups. Playing for the Lions were: first, Dean Hale, 18:03; third, Dan Levering, 18:46; fifth, Rob Trowbridge, 19:09; tenth, Dan Lykins, 20:36; and eleventh, Shan Ferrier, 21:54.

Karen Hosey of Nashville, adds spices to a batch of her prize winning chili. She won first place overall for the best tasting chili at Nashville's recent Harvest Festival. (Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) Nashville woman takes chili cook-off by Shelly Sulser When Karen Hosey, 21, entered her chili for the first time in Nashville’s recent Harvest Festival Chili Cook­ off, she never dreamed she would win. “We just sat it (the chili) down and went walking around the festival. When we came back, there was a trophy sitting by it,” said Karen, the first place winner in the second annual event. Still, she wasn’t quite sure that it was hers until she Volunteers were hard at work Saturday installing playground equipment, purchased by the Nashville PTO, at Fuller Street Elementary School. Among the workers were: Steve Shoup, Bernie Hickey, Bernie Garvey, Rick Spitzer, Alvin Butler, Tom Taylor, Bill Kipp, Joe Butler, Laurie Kipp, Susie Butler, Diana Javor, and Donna Garvey. PTO installs new playground equipment at Fuller School by Shelly Sulser Thanks to the Nashville PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) students at Fuller Street Elementary School will have a new Moon Climbdr and Fun Ball Target to enjoy during recess; “We put new equipment at Kellogg Elementary School, too,” said PTO Treasurer Susie Butler. These include a parallel ladder and a highlow bar’. The total cost of the equipment was $2,200. Seventeen hundred dollars of it was raised at a carnival held last March to earn money for the project. The rest was earned by students Continued on page 3 Putting together the Moon Climber was a major project for volunteers on Saturday. News photo by Shelly Sulser looked at the back of the ribbon that was attached to the trophy, and saw her name on it. Karen, who lives with her husband, Melvin; and their three-year-old twin sons, Matthew Paul and Eric James, at 322 Sherman St., said she entered because “My husband told me I make good chili.” This is Karen’s own recipe. She browns ground beef, salt, pepper and garlic salt. In another pan, she cooks celery, green peppers, and onion. She then combines the ingredients of both pans, and adds tomatoes, tomato -paste, chili powder and hoipeppers. Karen lets' it' cook for six hours to let the flavors blend together. Besides cooking and creating new recipes, Karen enjoys arts and crafts, often attending shows to gain new ideas for things to make. Another of her favorite “hobbies” is housekeeping.

Nashville, Tuesday, September 25, 1984 —Page 2 Nashville News the community recreational park with funds raised in part by sponsorship of Nash­ ville’s annual Harvest Festival. For her efforts, Kristen received a $50 savings bond. A seventh grader at Maple Valley, she is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Bryzcki. Thirty-five years ago, Virginia McCall, then a sixth grader in a Baltimore, Maryland, school, began corresponding with a pen pal in Scotland in a project in­ spired by another student and encouraged by a teacher. Over these many years Virginia has continued to write several times a year to her pen pal, Christian Galbraith, of Edinburgh, Scotland, and the latter responded. Recently the two had a chance to meet for the first time. Virginia, now Mrs. Arden Burd of Nash­ ville, has been hosting Christian and her mother, Margaret Galbraith, for a three-week visit at the Burd home. The two flew from Scotland directly to Toronto, Canada, where they were greeted by the Burds. During their stay in Nashville they have enjoyed seeing special sights in this area, including Charlton Park and Turkeyville, near Marshall, and also attended our recent Harvest Festival. Christian, a divorced mother of a son, 21, and daughter’ 15, is employed by the British Petroleum company. The visitors departed for home After 32 years as a volunteer with the Nashville Fire Department, Jerry Kent has retired, and was honored by his fellow firefighters and their wives at a surprise dinner party Saturday, Sept. 8, at The Oracle in Hastings. One of the fireman remained here to man the station during the event. Jerry was 21 years old when he joined the NFD in 1952. Neil Jones was chief then. For a number of years the Nashville fire depart­ ment and ambulance ser­ vices were under the same authority, and Jerry worked as a volunteer in both fields, as did most of the crew. (In recent years, to meet state regulations, the departments have been separated, and volunteers receive specialized training in their particular field.) During his tenure with NFD, Jerry has served at various times as assistant chief, captain, and secretary-treasurer. The community owes a debt of gratitude to Jerry and to all the other dedicated volun-teers who have done so much to protect and save lives and property in Nashville and its zenvirons. The local depart­ ment was founded in 1882, and has served the village continuously since that time. Congratulations to Kristen Bryzcki of Nashville for her winning entry jp the MVRDC park-naming contest.

The latest contributions to the Putnam Public Library building fund came last week from Bunny Shaw and from residents of Maple Valley Arms apartment complex. A donation to the furnishings fund for the library’s proposed Children’s Wing addition came from the Timothy Boucher family. To date, the fund stands at $23,839, almost half of the $50,000 goal for the new room. Unless anonymity is requested, names of all donors will be listed weekly in the Maple Valley News and will be inscribed on special scrolls to be displayed in the wing. Names of those designated in gifts also will be inscribed on the scrolls. Contibutions may be made at the library or mailed to Post Office Box C, Nashville, 49073. Mrs. Vada Mix of Nash­ ville enjoyed a recent visit by her son and daughter-in­ law, Dick and Darlene Mix, of Layton, Utah. The two flew to Michigan for two weeks, with the special in­ tent of helping Vada celebrate her 80th birthday on Sept. 3rd. They also spent some time with their daughter Pam/ Mix,-'-who lives at Kalamazoo, and saw other relatives and friends. During her birthday week, Vada’s three sons and all of their family called on her at various times. A delightful addition to the Michigan and Local History Room at Putnam Public Library came last week from Russell and Barbara Mix of Nashville. It is a beautiful old china plate on a display rack, and will bring back memories for many local residents. Inscribed in gold lettering on the face of the plate are these words: “Compliments of C. T. Munro, Nashville, Mich.” The plate apparently was a gift given to special customers by Munro, an early local merchant who By Susan Hinckley chalked up more than 50 years in his Main Street grocerteria, which he opened in 1905. Friends of Putnam Public Library earned $250 by selling used books, pie and coffee at the library during Nashville’s recent Harvest Festival. It was a record amount for such an FOLsponsored fundraiser, and chairperson Bonnie Leep said that thanks go to many folks, including those who baked pies, those who helped carry books, and the ladies who worked as cashiers during the sale. In addition to Mrs. Leep they were Liz Lynch; Margaret Wagner, Ardis Robotham, and Sandy Schaub. A special thanks also was given to Nate Sheldon and Duska Morawski, who worked Saturday morning to carry boxes of books from the library to the lawn, where the sale was conducted. The Putnam Library staff also was a big help during the event, said Mrs. Leep. Proceeds of the sale will help benefit the library in many ways. Among planned uses are to give the library $100 for purchase of periodicals. The FOL has a policy that any amount in excess of $300 in their treasury will routinely be donated to Putnam’s building fund to add a Children’s Wing to the present facility. “What is thirty feet long and cold?” That’s just one of the clues to a special sur­ prise at Rally Day, Sunday, Sept. 30, at Nashville United Methodist Church, says Rev. Lynn Wagner, who invites your attendance at Sunday School that day. Another clue is “What is fun to share with 100 people?” You will be delighted and amazed when you learn the answer. Plan now to be present at services next Sunday to discover what organizers have up their sleeves. Congratulations to Lloyd Cooper, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Cooper of Nashville, on his hole-in-on shot last week in a golf game at Sunfield, while playing as a member of the Maple Valley school’s golfing team.

The program is a joint effort with the schools in Barry and Eaton counties and health professionals. Screening will be conducted during the months of October and November. Fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade students will be examined at school. The examination is done by looking for irregularities from both the front and side as the student stands straight and then bends forward. Public health nurses, school nurses and physical education teachers will be conducting the examinations. Each examinations takes about 30 seconds. 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 Playground, from P. 1 selling Christmas decorations and, most recently, soap.

No man who ever Jived in Nashville was more sincerely loved and respected. He was an out­ standing Christian gen­ tleman, great of heart, sympathetic and kindly, a man whom the community can ill afford to lose.” Shilling, of Tyro, Ohi, came to Nashville in 1901 shdrtly Family Hair Care Salon Irene’s Beauty Shop By Susan Hinckley News, unless anonymity is requested, and will be in­ scribed on special scrolls to be displayed in the new room.

This year’s Fall Tour will take participants to the southern part of Barry County as they visit the Kellogg Biological Station. A number of years ago W.K. Kellogg donated 400 acres of farm land to Michigan State University for experimental use in growing crops. Because of the vast grain needs of the Kellogg cereal empire, Kellogg was seeking away to encourage Michigan far­ mers to produce a plentiful local supply of corn and wheat. The Kellogg Biological Station size has increased over the years and upon the death of W.K. Kellogg, his summer mansion was donated to Michigan State University to be used as a conference facility. The tour will visit the beautiful Kellogg Manor House, the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary, a newly completed dairy and waste management facility and the Kellogg Forest. The Fall Tour will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 16. The tour will begin at 8:15 a.m. at the "Respect Life Sunday" Oct. 7 “Respect Life Sunday” will be observed next Sun­ day, Oct. 7 as a nationwide effort supported by the Right to Life movement and its affiliates. Locally, the Maple Valley Right to Life will be en­ couraging the community to take active action in the efforts of their local and national chapter to stop the killing of the unborn and to help in the educating of the public about the various topics of fetal development so as to enable them to make informed decisions about the issue.

The announcement was made by Ward Rooks, Maple Valley counselor. Lykins, the son of Charles and Laura Lykins of 191 Thornapple Lake Rd. in Nashville, was the only Maple Valley student who was designated as a “Commended Student” in the 1985 Merit Program. “The exceptionally high test performance of young people who are named Commended Students in the extremely competitive Merit Program is deserving of recognition in their com­ munities. To acknowledge the attainments of academically talented students and to credit schools for the part they play in the development of these youth are important in a nation that values excellence,” said an officer of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which administers the program. Participants entered the current Merit Program by taking the PSAT-NMSQT in the fall of 1983, when most of them were juniors. Although the qualifying test scores of the 35,000 Commended Students designated nationwide were very high, they were slightly below the OKW rt'“t tali!* rl311 ifM Dan Lykins has been named a commended student in the Merit Program, placing in the top five percent of over 1-million participants.

Nashville, Tuesday, October 2,1984 — Page 8 Koons named homecoming grand marshal By Shelly Sulser Russ Koons, a retired Maple Valley High School science teacher, has been chosen by a committee from the school’s student council to serve as the honorary grand marshal of this year’s homecoming parade. Koons, now an Alto resident, was a teacher in the Maple Valley district for nine years before retiring in 1983. He was well-liked by the students because of the extra time he was willing to spend with any student who needed his help, said Assistant Principal Larry Lenz. During Koons’ tenure at Maple Valley, he served as a class sponsor and was in charge of the junior high student council. He also would sometimes chaperone school dances. Concerning his selection as grand marshal, Koons said, “It’s a great compliment. “Contrary to the public and the press, I think America’s youngsters are tops, and Maple Valley’s youngsters are special to me,” he said. Koons and his wife, Elaine, have three-children and fivegrandchildren. A native of Rives Junction, Koons was born Dec. 7, 1924. He graduated from Leslie High School in May of 1943 and served in the U.S. Army for three years, through 1946. A staff sergeant, he was involved in infantry combat in Europe. Koons earned a bachelor of science degree from Michigan State University in 1950 and a master’s degree from University of Michigan six years later. He also at­ tended numerous other colleges and universities. His first teaching position was at Houghton Lake. The homecoming parade will begin at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12, prior to Maple Valley’s football game. The parade starts at Putnam Park in Nashville and ends at the Fuller school football field where the game will be played against Bronson.

After leaving Vermontville, we traveled south on M-66 then on M-60 stopped in mid­ morning for a coffee break, then on to N. Webster in Indiana. A lovely lunch at the Tippy Country Club, then a boat trip on Webster Lake. This resort area was new to most of us. N. Webster is called one of nature’s garden spots and is dotted with 100 lakes, many streams, woods and dales, much as was legendary Camelot in the 6th Century days of King Arthur. The area has more of an oldworld atmosphere than early American. The imposing in­ ternational Palace of Sports is one of 32 in North America. We have two in Michigan — one in Detroit and one in Ispeming. This museum was built and specifically planned as a shrine for linking sports personalities to youth awards and to the legend of Camelot. It is nearly a block long on Camelot Square. It was dedicated June 29, 1974 and is a non-profit public foundation indentifying with sports champions. Over 100 oil portaits of sports Kings, Queens of Sports are hung in the Royal Gallery. Sculp­ tures, the world largest chess pieces, the silver chalice once owned by King George III of England, handsome Schenkel Excalibur Sword, the priceless Mollenhour Silver Bowl and many more on display on the second floor. The newest exhibit is the bejeweled 14 karat gold Hikok belt that was awarded to Rocky Marciano in 1952. Also on display are 25 life-size wax figures of the Queens and Kings of Sports. We stayed at Warsaw at the Holiday Inn and on Thursday a.m. toured the Warsaw Cut Glass Factory, established in 1911, and watched etching designs on crystal using a water wheel, then on to Winona Lake where a guide rode in the bus and pointed out the ad­ ministration building of the Winona Lake Bible Con­ ference and other history spots such as Homer Rodeheaver Auditorium, the evangelist Billy Sunday’s tabernacle with a seating capcity of 6,000 with a sawdust floor, hence the expression waliking the sawdust trail to conversion. We stopped at the Sunday home which is now a museum. Billy Sunday died in 1935, three sons died before him and Mrs. Sunday in 1957. They were friends of Ike and Mamie Eisenhower. Billy Sunday Was a baseball player but gave up his contract to become a preacher. Many famous people spoke in his auditorium including William Jennings Byron, Edgar Guest, Adm. Byrd and Admundsen even Galli Curci sang. We traveled on to Mentone where Lawrence D. Bell (1894-1956) was born and became chairman of the board of the Bell Aircraft Corporation, credited with many firsts in aviation.

The Raiders jumped to an 18-1 lead in the first quarter, twelve of these points coming from Miss Mayer. Maple Valley rallied in the second quarter with eight points, holding Portland to only three. That was, however, to be the best quarter for the Maple Valley ladies. Leading scorers for M.V. were Karris True with four points and Kristen Kraai with three. Deanna Hagon and Tracey DeGroot led with steals at two each. Coach Kraai attributed their loss to to many tur­ novers (twelve in one minute) in the first quarter. “Nothing seemed to go right; turnovers, shots not dropping through the hoop, lack of rebounding, you name it,” she said. After a hard week of practice, with emphasis on ball handling, rebounding, etc., the ladies are ready to travel to Springfield on Monday and Olivet on Wednesday. On Oct. 9 and 11 the team will be back on their home court against Portland and St. Philip. .more sports p-10 STOCK REDUCTION SALE Due to closing early this Fall all Halloween, Holiday, Winter i­ tems, Gifts and Regular Stock is on SALE!

October 2, 1984 — Page 10 Vermontville sixth grade defeats Saranac The Vermontville sixth grade squad continued to roll Saturday with a thrilling 20­ 12 victory over arch rival Saranac. Vermontville used an explosive first half of­ fense and tough defense when it counted to remain undefeated with a 3-0 league record. Once again a balanced offense was shown with Jason Hoefler having a big day from the running back position. The quick hitting Hoefler put a pair of touch­ downs on the scoreboard, accounting for 69 yards in 14 carries. Jason made the play of the game, however, with a 40-yard defensive snag of a Saranac pitchout as he ran into the end zone untouched. Jeff Moore accounted for the other team points with runs for a touchdown and extra point. Moore’s rushing totals stood at 56 yards in nine carries. Again Ver­ montville’s quarterback Dan Franks was outstanding with 55 yards rushing and calling excellent plays with the help of offensive coaches Orv Moore and Bob Franks. Franks and Hoefler both completed passes with Franks and Travis Hokanson each recording a pass reception. Derek Brown totalled nine yards from the running back post and Scott Casteele ran for nine yards. Although Vermontville begrudgingly gave up its first points of the 1984 season, the defense played well most ofthe day. A trio of players-middle linebacker Scott Casteele, linebacker­ safety Dan Franks and defensive tackle Mike Dennis- each recorded ten tackles.

The alert Vermontville defense took full advantage of Saranac turnovers with Hoefler recorving a pair of fumbles, and Scott Casteele and Marc Nehmer each making fumble recoveries. Brent Haag made both a fumble recovery and pass interception and Dan Franks picked off a pass as well. Special team play was excellent for Vermontville, especially the work of punter Mike Dennis. In addition to three good punts, Mike made a nice run out of punt for­ mation for 10 yards and a crucial Vermontville first down. Hoefler also made a key punt for the winners and Mike Martin continued an excellent job of long cen­ tering for the winners. Also seeing action for Vermontville were Bill Woodbury and fifth grader Jason Byington. Vermontville continues its quest for the sixth grade title in two weeks with a trip to Woodland. They are idle next weekend with a forfeit win over Hastings who is unable to field a sixth grade team. 21.97 “Our Best” Bias-ply Blackwalls • "78” series tread design * Urnited tread wear out warranty See store for detads Clo t ed Sunday The Saving Place* Automotive Service Center - Phono 543-1197 in last weeks golf action, Maple Valley had little trouble defeating Bellevue 166-184 and Springfield 162­ 196. In the Bellevue match Jeff Hamilton was medalist with a 40. The other three scores were Greg Lenz 41, Ken Trumble 42 and Scott Lenz 43. In Thursday’s away match Greg Lenz was. low with a fine 39. A trio of seniors rounded out the scoring with 41’s. They were Jeff Hamilton, Ken Trumble and Mark Valdick. Bob McMillen shot a very good 42 but his score could not be used for the varsity match. The varsity golf team has tied the school record for most match wins in a season at 13 with only one setback. They will try to break that record with two home matches this week. Bronson will come to Mulberry Fore on Monday and Battle Creek St. Philip on Wednesday. Friday the golf team travels to Marywood to play in the Battle Creek Invitational. Then on Saturday they will play the S.M.A.A. league meet at Bedford Valley Country Club.

The first half belonged entirely to the burgandy and white with the offensive line dominating play. Using a slashing style of running, back Brian Dennis followed the fine blocking for 125 yards and one touchdown for quite a spectular per­ formance. Steady quaterback Kirk Warner hit Dennis for a beautiful 24 yard pass play along with running in a touchdown and a two point conversion for a total of 49 yards rushingin five carries. Aaron Patrick opened the scoring with a flashy 18 yard touchdown. Bryan Carpenter finished off the scoring with the two point conversion. Carpenter also had a four yard completed pass to Dennis and rushed for 18 yards. Other ball carriers were Dayton Walker 11 yards, Jeremy Reynolds, six yards, Bret Flower and Darrell Stine four yards each and Jeff Knoll one yard. Again the defense was suffocating against the run.

Sealed bids from these companies will be opened and reviewed by the village’s insurance committee on Oct. 10. In a letter to the council, Third Street resident Nancy Carpenter said she has observed traffic exceding the speed limit on that street and believes new, more visible signs are needed. She suggested the installation of speed limit and “Children Playing” signs on Third Street. Four signs were ordered some time ago for South Main Street after residents there petitioned to lower the speed of traffic entering town from 35 mph to 25 mph. The council is still awaiting delivery of those signs and agreed not to order any more until the cost can be deter­ mined. Council members who wish to see new trees in town Fire destroys Nashville home by Shelly Sulser Fire destroyed a home at 603 Washington St. in Nash­ ville early Friday. The Castleton-Maple Grove fire department fought the fire for about an hour and a half after receiving several calls at 11:51 a.m. The house, owner by Roger Wells of Mulliken, was rented to Brenda Bumford who lived on the upper story of the home, and Tammy Rockford who resided on the lower level. Neither were home at the time the blaze was discovered. Fireman Earl Wilson estimated the damages to the structure at about $20,000. The home itself was insured while the contents were not. The cause of the fire is under investigation. were surprised when told the price. The cost of replacing the'trees that were removed for various reasons, was quoted to the council members by Larry Flies of Williams and Works, at $180 each. Member Liana Oster compared this to the national government paying $9,000 for a bolt that she could “go down to the hardware store and get for 25 cents”. The council took no further ac­ tion. The next regular meeting of the Vermontville Village Council will be Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Matt Peake of Nashville has been selected to become a member of the "Order of the Arrow." (photo supplied) Nashville Boy Scout attains Order of the Arrow Boy Scout Matt Peake has been chosen to become a member of the “Order of the Arrow.” He is the first scout in Nashville Troop 176 to be awarded the honor. Matt, a senior patrol leader, was chosen to become a member of the order during Troop 176’s May election. He was “tapped out” in a ceremony when he attended the West Michigan Shores Council Camp Gerber in July. Then during the weekend of Sept. 15-16, Matt returned to Camp Gerber and went through the ordeal in which he became an Order of the Arrow member. The Order of the Arrow exists primarily as a service organization and especially emphasizes cheerful service in the camping part of the scout program. The scouts in the order elect their own officers, plan thfeir own program and carry out service projects under their own leadership. Adults act as advisors' but do not run the order of the arrow lodge. To become a member, a scout is chosen by the boys in his troop. The majority of those who vote are not members of the lodge. Membership is controlled by the boys themselves. To become eligible for the lodge a scout must have scout­ master approval, certifying to the scout’s spirit, his adherence to the scout oath honor and law and participation in troop activities. A scout must have 15-days and nights of camping within two-years prior to election. Matt joined Boy Scouts in June of 1980. He has received his four-year service pin and has attained the rank of Star Scout. Area senior citizens invited to attend program and lunch .

LITCHFIELD �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, October 9, 1984 — Page 3 From our readers To the Editor: I feel our Maple Valley School cool Board deserves another “pat on the back” for the resounding blow they dealt to our girls’ athletics again. I feel the issue was what might be called the “lesser of two evils.” When personal convictions get in the way, of what I feel was the best decision for the girls, those members should abstain from the decision. I know if they had girls in the athletics program they would soon change their opinions. (Editor’s note: The writer is referring to the board’s selection of a volunteer girls basketball coach and dissatisfaction with limited opportunities for girls who are interested in sports.) I don’t feel in this country of ours it is wrong to look after what you believe to be ---- 0 Attention Sports Fans: I would like to inform you as to the future of our athletic program. For the last three or four years, the athletic boosters have financed the athletic program in full to the tune of approximately $40,000 per year. In this figure there are coaching salaries, officials, uniforms, and much equipment needed for the safety of our athletes. During this time, there have been approximately 30 people carrying the full load. These people have made many personal sacrifices in their family life to see that your children have a suc­ cessful athletic program. During this time, many have done far more than their share. Knowing that there are approximately 300 athletes within the MV athletic program, many parents are not doing their fair share. Where are you? These people have also made the sacrifice of not watching their child par­ ticipate in some sports events because they were working at some booster project. in your children’s best in­ terest. But I guess I was wrong in this instance. When most members of the board ran for election, one of the slogans I heard was not to put off issues. But here was the old standard all over again. If I had not spoken-up it wouldn’t have taken five-minutes to cop-out on the issue. I invite anyone reading this to attend our girls functions to get a firsthand look at where we have been shirking our responsibilities to our girl athletes. They are a great asset to this com­ munity. I am not the least, bit satisfied with the board’s handling of the matter. I sincerely apologize to anyone I offended. A very disappointed, C.D. Lamie Nashville If we received the much needed additional support, no one would be over bur­ dened with the responsibility of making this program a success. If we don’t get a response to our request for additional help, we may be forced to discontinue our athletic program at the end of the fall season. Please contact someone and help us give our children the opportunity that is of­ fered once in a lifetime. Are you really concerned about our athletic program? If you are, please call. No calls will tell us that you are not concerned about this program. We have two fine com­ munities, let let’’ss work together. Please don’t let our children down. Stand up to be proud of our children and communities. Call Jim Bryan, Tom Joostberns, 726-0537, Joie Whitemore, 726-0146, or send a card to the Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School. Booster meetings are the third Monday of every month at 7 p.m. at the high school. Thank you, Tom Joostberns Nashville youth will enter international contest Janice Mater and Alan Mater of Nashville will be exhibitors at the 1984 North American International Livestock Exposition. Officials of the expo said that Janice has entered three head of sheep and Alan eight sheep for competition at the North American In­ ternational, an event which will take place during November 3-16 at Louisville, Kentucky. The NAILE will be held at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center. The North American In­ ternational Livestock Ex­ position is entering its 11th year, and those who compete will vie for over $300,000 in total premiums and awards. Rep. Nash to assist area Agent Orange victims State Representative Ernest W. Nash (RDimondale) announced today that his office will assist any Vietnam veteran who would like to become a claimant in the Agent Orange settlement case. The 56th District lawmaker said that earlier this year, an out-of-court settlement was reached between a group of Vietnam veterans and companies that produced the military defoliant. The settlement created a $180 million trust fund to help Vietnam veterans and their families. Nash said an “Agent Orange” Computer Center has been established to accept and process claims. “Any veterans in my area who feel they have been exposed to Agent Orange should obtain a claim form from our office,” he said. Veterans can also obtain claim forms by contacting the Michigan Veterans Trust Fund or the Agent Orange Computer Center. The ad­ dress for the Computer Center is P.O. Box 905, Smithtown, New York, 11787. Although the claim form requires that veterans file by Oct. 26,1984, the deadline for filing has been extended to Jan. 1, 1985, but Nash urged veterans to file immediately. In addition to the extensive number of livestock which will be at the NAILE, of­ ficials confirmed that the North American Cham­ pionship Rodeo Finals, school tours, the Sale of Champions, children’s barnyard and an extensive variety of other events will be featured. Since its first appearance in 1974, the NAILE has grown to rank as the largest, indoor livestock exposition held anywhere in the world. Over 100,000 visitors and livestock specialists from around the world are ex­ pected to attend.

Recently we dug up several fall issues of The Nashville News of that year, and found a number of interesting stories about the gridiron squad apparently written by a student reporter. Since many of our readers will recall events of that season 55 years ago, we decided to present those articles intact, exactly as they appeared in the School Notes column in The News. The first report announces the opening of the football season, and the second gives a recap at the close of play on Thanksgiving Day. We hope they bring back many happy memories for our NHS players and fans of days gone by.) Sept. 19, 1929 - “Now that school has started in earnest the first thing concerning it that brings an enthusiastic look to a student’s face is the mention of football. “This year Nashville has a new coach, who comes highly recommended, and from whom we expect much. Already he has shown us something new to N.H.S., by way of getting cooperation between school activities and students themselves. Mr. Boekhout has ordered some new equipment, which the fellows certainly need. “There are fourteen candidates for the team, of which eleven will be soon selected, all having passed a physical examination. Of this number Paul McDowell, last year’s captain, Bryant DeBolt and Richard Graham are the only veterans left for the team this year. Gerald Olmstead, another can­ didate, shows promise. He was on the Bellevue team last year. Louis Diamante, Voyle Varney, Robert Mason and Ned Tieche seem to belong to the class that although they cannot be called veterans, neither are they entirely without ex­ perience. Leon Housler seems to be pretty good, but he seems to be a little slow. A little more pep will help a lot, Leon. Everett Couch is rather small for a football player, but is coming down the line in spite of that handicap. “George Wotring, the shark at catching the passes, Keith Graham, Glenard Showalter and Paul Bell complete the list of can­ didates. Mr. Boekhout reports that the candidates show much promise, and that altho’ we have so many inexperienced men, still we have ‘the team’ and a lot of Put some "class" into your life thru adult education You may still enroll in the Enrichment classes held at Maple Valley High School.

We hope there will be a crowd of people from Nash­ ville to help the fellows on their first game, because as Methuselah said, ‘The first hundred years are the hardest.’ “Let’s show the fellows and Mr. Boekhout that we appreciate their efforts by being at the Hastings game.” Dec. 5, 1929 - “Concluding what may be classed as a very successful season, with a 9 to 0 victory over Lake Odessa, Nashville hung up their moleskins for the season. “Nashville has won three games, lost four, and tied one. Three of these games which they lost were played with teams entirely out of their class, one to Wayland and two to itastings, although they held them to a 7 to 0 score in the latter game. “The game at Lake Odessa on Thanksgiving Day was one in which Nashville displayed their superiority over their rivals in every phase of the game. Only fumbles and penalties, due to the extra cold weather, kept them from running up a larger score. “Early in the game Nash­ ville by consistent line plays, brought the ball to Lake Odessa’s 5-yard line, where Nashville was penalized 15 yards for holding. They again took the ball to the 5yard line, where they lost it on downs. “Lake Odessa tried three line plunges and failing to gain, attempted to punt from behind the goal line. The pass from center was bad "Now that school has started in earnest, the first thing concerning it that brings an enthusiastic look to a student's face is the mention of football," noted a school reporter in a September 1929 column in The Nashville News. This photo of Nashville's schoolhouse, built in 1902, is from the 1920s. At that time the building housed all elementary grades as well as high school classes. The playing field for Nashville's early football team was the Riverside athletic grounds located west of the Main Street business district, south of Sherman. A good view of the rear of the downtown stores is seen in the picture of Nashville's 1916 football team coached by Professor Rockwood (standing at left). This site served as the local playing arena until the new Fuller Street athletic field was completed in 1950. and McDowell tackled the man behind his goal for a safety or two points. “Nashville played a steady game, gaining almost at will through their line, and on defense held so well that Lake Odessa had the ball a very few times in Nashville territory. “The half ended with the score 2 to 0. Early in the second half, Nashville started another victory march which ended in a touchdown by Mason and an extra point by a line play. “The rest of the game was played deep in Lake Odessa’s territory, Nashville threatening every minute until the end of the game. gains off tackles and twice “The line played one of the came near breaking away best games of the season, for a touchdown. surpassed only by the last “DeBot, Diamante, Mc­ Hastings game.

It was the last game for seven senior members of the squad.

Main St., Nashville, Ml • 852-0713 fields that will not produce satisfactory yields of grain, says Roger Betz, Extension Agricultural Agent. These fields would yield higher dollar value if harvested as corn silage, Betz adds. Also, many livestock producers, especially dairy, beef and sheep, will run short of roughage feed because of low yields on their alfalfa and corn silage acreage. These people need to get in contact with each other so that livestock producers can purchase feed, probably unharvested, from the grain producers. Timing is critical as droughty corn will dry down quickly. If too dry, poor quality corn silage will result. The Cooperative Ex­ tension Service office is assembling a list of buyers and sellers by township in Eaton County. Farmers need to call the Extension office at 543-2310 or 372-5594 in order to be included on the list and also, find out who is con­ sidering buying or selling corn silage. Over 20 farmers are listed currently. In-­ formation needed is name, telephone number, address, township and approximate acres considering buying or selling.

Barrett, 4-H Program Assistant Volunteers are the keys to successful delivery of 4-H program to youth. Last year 347 4-H volunteer adult leaders and 106 teen leaders assited 4-H throughout Eaton County. The average 4-H volunteer donates 329 hours per year on 4-H efforts, that’s an average value of $1,605 for each of our adult volunteers. They give four times the amount of support to the program than it receives from public ap­ propriations. It is the spirit of volunteerism that has contributed so much to our nations’ progress. There is also substantial involvement and assistance to 4-H programs by resource people, business, industry, agricultural and civic groups. 4-H, America’s largest outof-school program for boys and girls, nine to 19, is the youth program of the Cooperative Extension Service. 4-H volunteers come from all backgrounds, educational levels and ex- periences. Teen leaders help younger members and the club grow and develop, while acquiring leadership abilities themselves. The 4-H volunteers invest part of their time, energy, emotions and lives for the benefit of others. They build on ex­ perience and help young people grow. Some leaders possess a particular skill or expertise and others volunteer because they like to work with and help youth. They see a 4-H club as a means to teach young people responsibility and expand the members’ interests and abilities. Volunteering provides many opportunities for adults and teens to share skills and help kids. All 4-H’ers salute the 4-H volunteers- without them the 4-h program would not be possible. Listed below are the 1984 volunteer leaders from this area: Feet Fetchers Kathy Thompson, administrative leader; Janice Graham, Carol Marshall, Bob Shumaker, and Gary Thompson. — FOR SALE — Oak FIREWOOD (Buy Wholesale) Split, round or 8 ft. lengths.

The goal for the day was to emphasize Sunday School and have fun at the same time. On previous Sundays, the children held a demon­ stration during the worship service to announce the coming of Rally Day and invite the congregation. The junior choir also sang a medley of children's songs. The children were given a clue each Sunday about a surprise they would get on Rally Day. Sunday School teachers were recognized and thanked for their time they have given to the children. At the close of Sunday School, the children discovered that the surprise was a 30 foot long sundae covered with chocolate. Children and adults dug in with their spoons to polish off the ice cream.

The church, located on the northeast corner of the Washington and Phillips streets intersection, was suffering growing pains again. Over a 70-year span the 1886 structure was to be stretched outward, upward, rearward and forward, in three major renovation projects. The church was formed as an Evangelical class in the Ella E. Buel, Sarah Baker, winter of 1885-86 after a Elwood Martin, Laura series of bi-monthly Sunday Feighner, L. A. and Priscilla -afternoon sermons preached Brown, Mrs. C. S.

Durham, Mrs. of that same year (1886), This undated photo of Nashville s Evangelical Church was taken sometime after - u ' u en vil,a.9e engineer Frank Russell noted in his diary on May 26th that they nave got (it) all raised up." Improvements iin that project included a basement kitchen, furnace room and lavatories. A 1957 renovation further revamped tthe structure which after extensive additions in the 1970s now houses Nashville Baptist Church. The Cloverleaf Class, now 80 years old and still active, was formed at the Evan­ gelical Church as a Sunday School class for young girls. Withstanding affiliation a and name changes of the church, the class grew into adulthood with charter Cloverleaf members and continues as an adult-age ladies group. This photo was ttaken not long after formation of the class. Seated from left are Zaida Keyes Carrie Appelman, teacher Elsie Titmarsh, Leah Walrath and Mildred Purchisii Standing from left are Mabie Wilcox, Pauline Kunz, Olive Walker, Stella Smith May Rothaar, and Cecile Zuschnitt. Rev. Clyde C. Gibson, shown in Putnam Park with his horse "Kelly,".served the local Evangelical Church at the beginning and end of his 50-year ministry. In early years he also made Sunday afternoon circuit trips by horse and buggy to deliver weekly sermons at North Castleton Evangelical Church, northeast of Nashville. work was commenced on the erection ofa place of worship for the followers of the Evangelical faith.” The edifice was completed in September at a cost of $1,500 and was dedicated on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 15th, 1886, by Bishop D. Dubs of Cleveland, Ohio. The first alterations to the building came just 13 years later, according to a News account of December 1899: “Major improvements to the Evangelical Church have been completed. Among other things, new front steps have been built, several gasoline lamps have been installed inside, the interior papered, and a furnace in­ stalled in the basement.” The tiny church was keeping pace with com­ munity growth which that year had seen construction of a new iron bridge acorss the Thornapple River at North Main and the erection ofa steel fire alarm tower on Maple Street. Installation of gas lamps in the church improved illumination, while staying in step with the times. “The new gasoline lights have become very popular here,” observed The News in November 1899, “and now there is scarcely a business place in town that is not lighted either by gasoline or acetylene lights.” Four years Mater, the Evangelical Church gained its first appendage. In June 1903, construction - was started to add a new wing and entrance tower to the building’s north side. The job was completed some five months later. “The new Evangelical Church was formally dedicated Sunday,” News readers were told in early November 1903. “The first church was built on the site of the present edifice, which now boasts a new wing, in addition to complete new interior decorations.” About that same time there was formed in the Evangelical • Church a Sunday School group for young girls called the Cloverleaf Class. That organization still exists today, though the original church- has undergone various affiliation and name changes since then. “The Cloverleaf was formed when all the Sunday School classes were being organized at the Evangelical Church,” recalled Mrs. J. Robert Smith (nee May Rothaar) in a 1979 interview. She was a member of the Cloverleaf Class, which she believes originated about 1904. The shape of the little 1886 Evangelical Church has changed dramatically over a 98-year span. The origin­ al sanctuary on Phillips Street at Washington was the small rectangular structure seen as the right portion of the building in this about-1910 photo. Added in 1903 were the wing (left) and entry tower (center). The Evangelicals consolidated with United Brethern in 1946, then 22 years later merged with the Methodists to form the present-day United Methodist Church. By 1914 the young girl’s Sunday School class had evolved into an adult-age ladies’ study and service organization, as it still remains today. Even in 1946 consolidation with the United Brethern Church and a 1968 merger with the Methodist to form the present United Methodist Church did not affect the Cloverleaf Class. When the United Evangelicals merged with the- Methodists, the ladies requested and received permission to retain the organization’s original title. ' While the Cloverleaf Class has remained constant over the years, the Evangelical Church changed not only its name but its shape. When Frank Russell noted in 1926 that the church was “all raised up,” the building was undergoing extensive renovation to add a basement kitchen, furnace room, lavatories and other facilities. Thirty years later another major construction project was underway at the United Evangelical Church. The edifice was growing, rear­ ward and forward. A back addition extended both the basement and main floor levels to provide an education unit below and a recessed chancel above. Up front, an expanded entryway dramatically altered the facade of the early structure. Spearheading the 1957 remodeling project was Rev. Clyde C. Gibson, who had recently retired after 50 years service - his Career having been launched with a three-years ministry here commencing in 1909. In his early days as a local preacher, Rev. Gibson had made Sunday afternoon circuit trips by horse and buggy to deliver weekly sermons at the North Castleton Evangelical Church on East Street Road, some four miles northwest of Nashville. After many subsequent years of ministry in the Detroit area, Rev. Gibson returned to Nahville in 1955 to conclude his career by again serving the local congregation. His circuit ministry here 75 years ago was reminiscent of that con­ ducted by Rev,. Koehler, the Woodland minister who was responsible for the. 1886 revival meetings that were the impetus of formation of qn Evangelical Church in Nashville. Koehler (variously spelled Kohler and Kahler in early News accounts) served the local congregation until 1888, when Rev. George Johnson took his place. “Mr. Koehler had hosts of admirers in the village, and his leaving was deeply regretted by all,” noted The News in the 1894 report, “but as good a man was sent in his place, who continued in the work here for three years, going from Nashville to Jackson, to take charge of the Evangelical Church of that city.” Johnson was followed by Rev. William Kring, and through the years a suc­ cession of ministers has pastored at the church on the corner of Phillips and Washington. Rev. Gibson began and ended his career there, passing away in 1978. But he, like the 80-year-old Cloverleaf Class, represented a constant in the history of Nashville’s Evangelical Church. �Jim's Electric 9*"®£an(l Operated by Jim Jones LICENSED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR • Residential • Industrial • Farm • Commercial 852-1783 NASHVILLE Maple Valley LAWN & GARDEN V Your newspaper • SALES & SERVICE • ALL MAKES , —STOP IN AND VISIT US — \ exemplifies our 10% DISCOUNT on PARTS phone God-given freedom Mace Pharmacy Cooper Upholstery 207 N.

Eaton County Road Commission opposes "Proposal C The Eaton County Road Commission, at a meeting held on Oct. 10, has adopted a resolution that opposes proposal “C” in the strongest terms possible. In making their opposition to proposal “C” known, the road commission noted that it would result in an annual loss of revenue of $945,300, which is 28 percent of our total motor vehicle highway funds. “This would be disastrous to our operation,” note Earl Marquardt, chairman of the road commission, “and would force us to make operational cuts that would be totally un-acceptable.” C.E. Wiles, engineer­ manager for the road commission, cited the following statistics.’ -Our total payroll for 1983 was $920,000. The potential loss in revenue is a little larger than that. While we obviously cannot lay everyone off, we would certainly have to have some lay-offs if proposal “C” passes. -Equipment purchases would be bound to suffer. During 1984 we had over $200,000 budgeted for this item, and that part of our budget would certainly be reduced with the passage of porposal'“C”. Family Hair Care Salon Irene's Beauty Shop 204 N.

Nashville, Tuesday, October 16, 1984 — Page 9 Vermontville scouts are off to busy year A weekly report from - ERNEST NASH State Representative WIDOWS OF STATE TROOPERS TO RECEIVE PEN­ SIONS - Governor James J. Blanchard has signed into law legislation that allows all surviving spouses of Michigan State Police troopers to collect pension benefits. Prior to the enactment of the new law, widows of the troopers who remarried before July 1, 1974, could not collect pension benefits, but those widows who remarried after July 1,1974, were eligible. HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT TO TAKE BIDS The Michigan Department of Transportation will be taking bids on October 17 for 24 highway projects totaling an estimated $25 million. MICHIGAN EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP CENTER - Governor Blanchard has announced creation of a $118,496 grant to help establish a center to assist employees in buying out their companies to prevent plant closings and massive layoffs. The money will be used by the Michigan Employee Ownership Center. The grant is being supplied by the Governor’s Office for Job Training. The center will be a resource center for technical and legal assistance, and it will also develop educational conferences, informational packages and brochures, and develop methods for iden­ tifying prospects for employee ownership. ADDITIONAL DRUNK DRIVING LEGISLATION PROPOSED - Legislation is being introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives that will toughen Michigan’s drunk driving laws. The new bill would amend the state’s vehicle code to establish that a person’s refusal to take a breathalyzer test would be admissible as evidence. The Michigan Court of Appeals recently ruled that, under Michigan’s new drunk driving laws, the refusal to take a breathalyzer test was not admissible evidence because of the language contained in the law. This proposal, according to its sponsors, would strengthen the current law. STATE BOARD APPROVES TECHNICAL GRANTS - The State Board of Education has approved grants totaling $1.3 million for 22 local and intermediate school districts, as well as the University of Michigan, in an effort to improve technological educational opportunities for Michigan schools. The grants can be used in three different areas: cable television, computer literacy and cooperative programming. Revival services set at Nashville Nazarene church Calling all ..

School Board hears advice of State Department of Education By Shelly Sulser On the advice of a representative of the State Department of Education, the Maple Valley Board of Education Wednesday agreed to conduct a com­ munity survey in the school district. Dr. David Donovan of the State Department of Education advised the board that it should conduct a survey of the community to find out what people are willing to support and what they want to see in the schools. He said the survey should be done within the next six weeks to two months. Donovan also suggested that the school board have mote involvement' with -the community, saying: “Complications come from divisions between the community and the school board.” Because there is com­ petition among schools, he said it would be a good idea for the board to visit other schools to discover what they are doing with their education, and what op­ portunities are offered. Donovan said the visits should take place within the next two or three months. DonQvan commended the Maple Valley school system after reviewing, with the board, the test scores of fourth and seventh graders. He said the local scores come very close to the state average and added, “It seems to me that the teachers must be doing something right.” Another issue discussed at the meeting was the matter of the much needed help for the local athletic boosters. ,rThe athletic boosters are in serious trouble,” stated Sue Bahs, a boosters’ trustee. She said the trouble stems from the fact that there are not enough volunteers to conduct money making projects to keep athletics functioning. With $44,000 needed to support athletics, the boosters are in desperate need of help, she said. , , Maple Valley High School Assistant Principal Larry Lenz challenged the board with this question: “What would the board do if the athletic boosters were to walk in here and quit? I think it could happen.” Lenz also stated that many are reaping the benefits of sports at Maple Valley but few are active in the program. ■ “I would like you to think about what i t would be like at Maple Valley without a Friday night football game,” said Bobbi Hoefler, secretary of the athletic boosters. “It is a big part of our children’s social lives.” In other business, Judith Rohr, first grade teacher at Maplewood Elementary School, was granted a maternity leave of absence beginning Jan. 7, 1985 with accumulated sick leave days to be used for 30-days. After that, she will take an unpaid Open Daily 9-9; Sunday 11-5 Livestock judging Receiving recognition and a certificate was the Maple Valley Livestock Judging team for their silver medal they won during the State Competition.

A concerned Maple Grove mother addressed the board about not being able to see her kindergartner as the child waits for the bus in the afternoon. The mother requested that the bus pick up her child, as well as a neighbor’s child of the same age, at their homes instead of at the corner where the two children are the only leave of absence for child care until the end of the workday on Friday, March 29, 1985.

The win lifted Maple Valley’s record to 3-2­ 1 for the season and 3-2 in the league. The first half was a struggle for both teams as both teams threatened but could not score. Bronson drove to the Lion 17 yard line following the opening kickoff but turned the ball over on downs. Maple Valley then moved to the Bronson 40 yard line where Gary Reid punted into the end zone. Jim Fuller recovered a Bronson fumble at midfield a new minutes later and the Lions moved quickly downfield but a 17 yard field goal was wide and the score remained 0-0. Bronson then again drove the length of the field only to turn the ball over on downs, this time the Lion ten yard line. Maple Valley then moved past midfield where an interception gave Bronson the ballon their own 18 yard line. Three plays later the half ended bringing the halftime activities where offensive tackle-linebacker Chug Maurer became Homecoming king. Sports After halftime Maple Valley came roaring out of the locker room. They needed only three plays and 48 seconds to take the lead in the game as Gary Reid rushed twice for 40 yards and Jim Benit raced the final 22 yards for the touchdown. Reid kicked the point for 7-0 Lion lead. Early in the fourth quarter Maple Valley put together a 68 yard drive in 10 plays for another Lion touch­ down. Gary Reid went the final three yards and kicked the point to make the score 14-0. Bronson then marched 68 yards in 11 plays as Darby Wilder went the final yard to cut the lead to 14-6. Maple Valley came right back following the kickoff to score in just two plays when Garj Reid broke for 57 yards and the final Lion touchdown. The extra point sailed wide and the score remained at 20­ 6. Jim Benit had a fine rushing game for Maple Valley churning out 79 yards in 11 carries, Tim Higdon added 11 yards in five at­ tempts and Robert Browne ran for 13 yards in three carries. Gary Reid had another fine game as he rushed for over 200 yards for the first time. Gary ended the night with 214 yards on 22 carries for two touchdowns and kicked two extra points. Ryan Trowbridge caught one pass for 11 yards and picked up 17 yards rushing on an end around play, Robert Browne also caught a pass for 16 yards. Maple Valley’s defense was led by Mark Hess with 12 tackles, Pat Resseguie with 11 tackles, and Chug Maurer, with eight tackles. Maple , Valley plays at Pennfield next Friday at 7:30 p.m., then returns home for two games with Potterville at Kalamazoo Christian. Pennfield is second in the league with a 4-1 league record and 5-1 overall record. Potterville is now 4-2 for the season, the same as Kalamazoo Christian. M.V. Lion jayvees notch 'big win' over Bronson, 20-7 Maple Valley’s junior varsity football team had their longest trip of the year traveling to Bronson. The Lions were able to beat previously undefeated Bronson by a 20 to 7 score. The game started rather unusually as the opening kick off hit a Maple Valley Lion on the helmet and Bronson recovered the ball on their own 25 yard line. Maple Valley’s first socre was set up after a bad Bronson punt and a 25 yard pass from Adam Brumm to Scott Carpenter. Matt Mc­ Clelland scored the first touchdown on a two yard run behind the blocks of Matt Owen, George Steinbrecher, Drew Pixley, Mike Long, Brian Ainsworth and Mitch Collier. The extra point run from a yard and a half out was no good. The halftime score was Maple Valley 6 and Bronson 0. There were two plays in the third quarter which helped the Lions win their game. Steve Cross and several other Lions blocked a punt and Adam Brumm caught the ball and ran it in for a 35 yard touchdown. The extra point was added on a pass from Tai Gearhart back to quarterback Adam Brumm. The score was now Maple Valley 14 and Bronson .0. The next outstanding play was when Matt McClelland intercepted a Bronson pass on our own five yard line and he returned it to the 50 yard line. Their were several good blocks thrown to aid the run. The third Maple Valley touchdown was scored on a 10-yard run by Matt Owen behind Mike Long and Drew Pixley’s blocks. The score after three quarters was Maple Valley 20 and Bronson 0. Bronson scored their touchdown with 25 seconds remaining for a final 20 to 7 score. Maple Valley rushed for 144 yards and passed for 43 yards and a total offense of 187 yards. Offensive leaders rushing were Matt Owen 74 yards, 19 carries; David Benit 34 yards, six carried; Matt McClelland 24 yards, six carries. Scott Carpenter caught two passes from Adam Brumm for 40 yards. Maple Valley’s defense played an outstanding game. Leaders in tackles were Matt Owen seven, Gene Granger seven, Steve Cross six, George Steinbrecher five, Chris Thomson four, and Drew Pixley four. Steve Cross recovered two fumbles and Matt Mc­ Clelland intercepted two passes. The team league record is now five wins and zero losses. Overall five wins and one loss. They play league rival Pennfield at home Thursday. The game will start at 7 p.m. Golf team regional champions again For the second year in a row the Maple Valley golf team has traveled to Milham Park golf course in Kalamazoo for the Regional Tournament. And for the second year in a row the team has claimed the tournament trophy for first place. The golf team was led by runner up medalist Greg Lenz with a 79. In second place for the team and third overall for the tournament was Jeff Hamilton with an 80. Tied at 84 were Mark Valdick and Buck DeGroot. One stroke back with a very fine one over par 38 on the front side but faltering on the back was Ken Trumble at 85. The team total was 327 and was eight strokes better than Battle Creek Pennfield and 12 strokes better than Quincy. Both Pennfield and Quincy qualify for the state tournament this Saturday in Vassar, Michigan. The golf team has com­ piled some very impressive stats for the season. They finished regular season play with a win over Middleville 159-168. This victory upped their season record to 16 wins and one loss. The one loss occurred at Portland to rated Portland St. Pats. Class B teams that have fallen to Maple Valley are Lakewodd (twice), Charlotte, and state qualifier Hastings. The Hastings victory was a slim one stroke victory at Mulberry Fore. In League competition they were perfect at ten wins and zero losses and finished first in the S.M.A.A. league meet. This was the third year in a row they have won the league championship. The last test for the golf team is the state finals at Vassar Golf and Country Club at Vassar, Michigan. The best class C teams in the state will be there. Some of the favored teams will be number one rated P.ewamo Westphalia, number four five and six Goodrich, Williamston, and Stock­ bridge. Other very good schools in attendance will be St. Charles, Shepherd, Pontiac Catholic, Grand Rapids Southern Christian, Calhoun Christian and Kent City. Last year’s golf team finished fourth in the finals. This year the goal is to match that but any place in the top ten is a very fine finish to a successful season. Maple Valley's Jim Benit (42) tries to elude the Bronson tacklers. Benit finished with 79 yards rushing in 11 carries. Lion quarterback Kurt Hartenburg (14) looks for an open man in Maple Valley’s 20-6 win over Bronson. Vermontville 4th and 5th grade gridders win showdown In the battle of unbeaten league-leaders, Vermontville fourth and fifth grade gridders dominated both sides of the ball to defeat Woodland 14 to 6. Taking the opening possession, Vermontville drove 60 yards for a touch­ down with quarterback Kirk Warner taking it in from the one yard line. Included in the opening drive were two completed passes from Warner to fire plug Jeremy Reynolds, one for 20 yards. Complimenting the passes perfectly was the inside running of big fullback Darrel Stine and the outside running of halfback Reynolds with sweeps by quarterback Warner baffling the talented but out-gunned Woodland defense. Doing a fine job of opening holes in the Woodland defense was the Ver­ montville offensive line led by center Jason Byington who has done a fine job all year long at a tough position. In the third quarter Ver­ montville scored again on a two yard touchdown run by Darrel Stine and a con­ version pass from Kirk Warner to Aaron Patrick on a nice running catch. Defensively Vermontville gave ground but only grudgingly to the powerful inside running of Woodland. By picking off two Woodland fumbles, covered by Shawn Weicht and Jeremy Reynolds, Vermontville held Woodland scoreless until the fourth quarter. Woodland caught fire after an interception pass and run to inside the Vermontville 30 yard line. Woodland then scored the first running touchdown of the year against Vermontville to complete the scoring. After that gang tackling put out whatever hope Woodland had. Leading tacklers were Grant Sampson with eight and Jeremy Reynolds with seven totaling six tackles was Darrel Stine and Bret Flowers. Dayton Walker had five stops from his linebacker position. Darrel Stine powered his way for 50 yards on eight carries, Jeremy Reynolds squirted for 49 yards on nine carries and two reception for 21 yards. Quarterback Kirk Warner again showed his versatility on completing three passes for 24 yards, rushing 34 yards on five carries and handling his position with precision. One last word of congratulation to the players and coaches about keeping your heads and playing a clean game while keeping control in a very emotional game.

The victory raised the team mark to 5-0 for the 1984 season. Big Jeff Moore showed a determined running style to enjoy another 100-yard plus running day, with 106 yards on fourteen carries. Moore ran one touchdown and scored another extra point for the winners. Dan Franks overcame a second quarter injury to make the other Vermontville TD with a diving end run near the end of the contest. Defensive end Marc Nehmer experienced the lineman’s dream by grabbing the Woodland quarterback in the end zone for Vermontville’s first score-a two-point safety. Jason Hoefler enjoyed another fine game gaining 55 yards as a running back and filling in capably at quar­ terback while Franks was recovering from his injury. Derek Brown and Scott Casteele also picked up rushing yardage for Ver­ montville with Casteele catching a pass from Franks and Hoefler tossing a pass to Franks. On defense it was another rugged effort that Ver­ montville fans have come to expect. Scott Casteele called the defensive signals and again was the leading tackler with seven stops from his middle linebacker’s post. Derek Brown displayed some of the most aggressive tackling of the year with five stops from his corner linebacker post, and fellow corner linebacker Jason Hoefler also made five tackles. Mike Dennis made four tackles as did tough defensive ends Travis Hohkanson and Marc Nehmer. Dan Franks made a trio of tackles for the win­ ners with Brent Haag, Kirk MacKenzie, David Mc­ Brayer, Matt Heinze and Darrell Stine each making a stop. Mike Dennis showed ex­ cellence kicking again this week with several long distance kickoffs. The Vermontville offensive line: ends Hohkanson and Haag; tackles Mike Martin and Nehmer; guards Jeff Laverty and Dennis and center Heinze used some new blocking techniques to control the line of scrimage throughout the contest. Bill Woodbury and fifth grader Jason Byington also helped the winning cause. Vermontville carries its quest for a league cham­ pionship and an undefeated season next Saturday when they meet Sunfield in an away contest. Vermontville coaches Dennis Casteele, Orv Moore, Bob Franks and Rod Heinze would like to personally thank the over­ flow crowd that followed their team to Woodland and ask for similar support in the season finale in Sunfield. Vermontville’s Jr. High football team offense started early Saturday scoring two first quarter touchdowns, then their defense took over allowing only a second quarter touchdown as Vermontville held on to defeat Woodland in a hard hitting game 16-8 raising their record to five wins and one loss. Greg Flower was the top rusher with 138 yards in 17 tries scoring one touchdown and two extra points. Kevin Stewart enjoyed a good game running for 77 yards on 10 carries scoring one touch­ down. James Eye picked up 21 yards, Cevin Cornish four yards and Dennis Hulsebos 18 yards. Quarterback Matt Forell completed one of two passes to Eric Bignail for 12 yards. Eric Bignall was the leading tackler with 13 from his defensive end position. Greg Flower had 11 tackles, Mark Goodrich and Matt Forell both with six tackles, Valley 7th grade continued from page 14 stats was Tracy DeGroot with 6 steals. In Thursday nights game with St. Philip, every member of the team con­ tributed to their win either offensively or defensively. High scores were Deanna Hagon with 6 points, Jennifer Fisher 5 and Julie Orman 3. Scoring 2 points each were Tracy DeGroot, Karris True, Kristen Kraai and Faith Schilz. Pam Williams led with steals at 6 followed by Kristen Kraai 5, Kristen Royston and Deanna Hagon 4 each. Rebounds were led by Miss Kraai with 8, Miss Royston 7 and Tracy DeGroot 5. Pam Williams, Julie Orman and Kelly Wright were cited as playing their finest game of the season. Stephanie Whitmore did not see action this past week due to an injury to her foot, but hopes to be back on the court Monday night against Olivet. Chris Gardner’s talents are missed by her team­ mates. She broke her wrist and won’t be able to play the rest ofthe season. See you at the hoops next year Chris. Kirk Andrews and Greg Hulsebos five tackles apiece, Mike Barnaart with four, Dennis Hulsebos and James Eye two, Kevid Stewart, Cevin Cornish, Andy Goodrich, Randy Heinze and Ryan Cole all had one tackle. Although ends Craig Henry and Scott Knoll, guard Noel White and tackle Chuck Murine didn’t register any tackles their fine play contributed to the team victory.

By Shelly Sulser ‘‘If we don’t get help soon, we will no longer sponsor the Harvest Festival.” This is what the Maple Valley Recreational Development Committee is saying because of the lack of community interest in sharing the work load of putting on the festival. The main purpose of the festival is to raise money to maintain Riverfront Park, which, according to com­ mittee President Dick Chaffee, is about $3,000 a year. Such maintenence includes mowing, stone chips for the ball diamond, and general maintenence. also added that the festival is Construction of the park the only activity done began about three years ago together as a community. with the installation of the In addition to needing ball diamonds.

Merle Martin resigns from M.V. School Board A special meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education will be held Monday, Oct. 29 to appoint a replacement to fill the term of trustee Merle Martin of Vermontville who has resigned. Superintendent Carroll Wolff said Martin did not cite a reason for resigning when he submitted a ‘‘onesentence letter” of resignation at the board’s Oct. 10 meeting. Martin, who has served more than two years on the board, could not be reached for comment by the Maple Valley News. Wolff said a replacement will be named to fill the vacant seat until June 30, 1985. Since Martin’s term does not expire until June 30, 1986, it will be necessary for voters in next June’s annual election to elect a replacement for Martin to fill the last year of his term. Persons who are in­ terested in being considered for the appointed term should submit a letter to Wolff prior to next Monday’s special board meeting,. Monday’s meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the ad­ ministration building. Nashville is slated for federal and state bridge funds for Quaker Brook Replacement of 90 bridges on Michigan county roads and city streets including work in Nashville has been approved by State Tran­ sportation Director James P.

(The house is now the Yarger home.) We thank Mrs. Baker for sharing her Reed Street memories with us, and hope that others who have reminiscences of early dwellings on that now-busy thoroughfare will share them with our readers. Another former local resident who wrote last week to comment on a recent Memories item was Wayne Fuller of Toledo, Ohio. He noted: “A couple of weeks ago you mentioned in the Former local resident Joyce (Dawson) Baker of Delton wrote last week to say how much she had enjoyed our recent Memories article on the history of Reed Street homes. “I was especially pleased to see the (3-story brick) Appelman house (pictured in the story), as I was born there,” wrote Mrs. Baker, whose parents lived on the second floor of the home which was used as an early apartment building. “My mother and brother had been staying out at the farm in Eaton County where my mother was born,” con­ tinued Mrs. Baker. “Dad usually brought them home on the weekend, but for some reason he decided to go on Wednesday and bring them home. I made my ap­ pearance during the night of June 30, 1932, all three and one-half pounds of me. Grandma (Florence) Howell attended mother.” Mrs. Baker explained that Dr. E. T.

The Townsend plan, proposed in 1934, would have provided all U.S. citizens over age 60 with a $200 monthly pension which each would have been obligated to spend within a month. Funds were to come from a twopercent tax on transfer or sale of goods. The Memories item Fuller refers to is one in which we mentioned a Townsend Club reorganization meeting that drew some 500 persons to Nashville’s Methodist Community House in Sept. 1937. One elderly Kalamazoo man hitchiked to attend. New hours for Sunday evening worship at Nashville Assembly of God go into effect on November 4. The new time is 6 p.m., an hour earlier than previously. Rev. Paul Schmees of Oxford will commence a four-day evangelistic series at the Assembly of God Sunday morning, November 4.

Accompanied by her “better half” and friends Laura and Henry Bachus of Palacios, Texas, your scribe enjoyed a post­ season visit to Saugatuck on Wednesday. There, Lake Michigan staged a speccular show of surly whitecaps for the Texas visitors,, who were im­ pressed despite brisk 60degree temps on the beach. As it was Henry’s first trip to Michigan, seeing one of the Great Lakes was a “must”. After touring Saugatuck’s shopping district and en­ joying lunch in the old Embassy theatre, we proceeded to Grand Rapids for a visit to the Gerald R. Ford museum followed by a stop at Tootsie Van Kelly’s in the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, just a short walk away via a footbridge across the scenic Grand River. Thursday, the Bachuses and their hosts enjoyed a trip to Frankenmuth, known as Michigan’s “Little Bavaria” and billed as the state’s top tourist attraction with 2.5 million visitors annually. The community, settled in 1845 by German . pioneers, boasts many ethnic features from architectural style to cuisine, but is perhaps best noted for Bronner’s, Christmas center of the world. In addition to touring the immense holiday headquarters on the south edge of town, we visited numerous specialty stores in the heart of the business district. Another stop, well worth the walk to die top of the hill on the north end of Main Street, was School Haus Square. A 1927 threestory former schoolhouse, the brick structure has been given a hew lease on life as a unique shopping mall housing some 30 specialty shops, occupying individual former classrooms. The recycled building features an appropriate school decor (even the corridors are named: Math Path, etc.) and nostalgic murals of yesteryear add a whimsical touch to the browse-or-buy atmosphere. Chicken dinner at Zehnder’s concluded our day. The freak winter storms that hit the Colorado Rockies last week were of special interest to Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville, whose daughter Sheryl West and children live at Colorado Springs. In a Tuesday morning phone call, after the first storm hit, Mrs. West told her mother that there was a 4 ft. snowdrift blocking the front door to her home. Later in the day, she was attempting to move about in knee-deep snow. Sheryl said it was “unreal” to think that the first “snow day” of the season for schoolchildren should arrive on October 16. She told Mrs. Johncock that the whole city of Colorado Springs — a community of over 200,000 -*■ came to a standstill. Mrs. West, however, is enjoying the unusual weather, as she is an avid ski buff. The fourth of a series of marriage films by Dr. Henry Brandt being shown throughout October at Nash­ ville Baptist Church is “Who is the Leader?” to be seen at 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 28.

While the adult congregation views the Brandt films, youngsters up to sixth grade level will enjoy their own weekly movies by The Sunshine Factory. Scheduled for October 28 is “Obedience”. Sunday School teachers at Nashville Baptist will meet at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9, for their annual Thanksgiving dinner at the church. A training session will follow the meal.

Debt restructuring is a key part of the farm credit initiatives announce by President Reagan on Sept. 18. Under the program, FmHA can set aside up to 25 percent or $200,000, whichever is less, of an FmHA borrower’s debt for five years without interest. For a non-FmHA borrower, the agency can guarantee part of a new loan if the lender will write off a minimum of 10 percent of the existing debt. In both cases, the goal is to restore the borrower to a positive cash flow situation.

The daughter of the late Chancy and Mina Hicks of Nashville, Dorothy resides summers in Ohio and winters in the south. She and her sisters, Beatrice Buchanan of Grand Rapids and Edythe Klinkner of Phoenix, Arizona, are avid Maple Valley News fans and have said that they especially enjoyed reading Betty Lentz is the queen in the center of this photo of 50 local youngsters who appeared in a 1923 Children's Day pageant at Nashville's Methodist Church. She wears a crown, while the others are costumed as flowers, the sun, etc. Front row from left are Marlyn Bera, Alston Penfold, Sackett, Bassett, Emily Sackett, Mary Ann Wright, two unidentifed children, and Cole.

The 1881 Methodist Church, with its 1916 Community House wing seen in this contemporary photo, looks much the same today os it did in 1923 when the Children's Day pageant was postponed due to a measles outbreak. When it' was finally staged, one of its participants recalled it as the "most elaborate she could remember. This church, now the United Methodist, was built 103 years ago to re-­ place a fire-damaged frame sanctuary that was moved to Main Street for use as Nashville's old town hall and fire station. The gothic-style brick building was dedicated on Nov. 27, 1881. The upper portion of a 90-ft. bell tower was later damaged by lightening and removed. the Memories series. In fact, in the past Mrs. Klinkner has contributed a couple of stories to this column. The photo loaned by Dorothy depicts a Children’s Day play at the local Methodist Church back in 1923. The June pageant featured crepe papercostumed youngsters in a been postponed by the Methodist Sunday School, due to the fact that most of the children have the measles.” This indicates that the presentation was originally planned for June 10, 1923. Local church directory listings in the News of that time show that Rev. M. A. Braund was pastor of the Methodists in 1923. Beyond that we have very little to add to the story, so we are hoping for a good deal of input from our readers many of whom may see themselves pictured in the photo taken some 61 years ago on a sunny Sunday morning on the lawn at the Methodist Church. performance that Mrs. McCleary recalls as “the most elaborate I can remember at the church.” She still knows who played certain roles: Elinor Buter was the Sun; Emmajane Kleinhans was a Rose; Betty Lentz - was Queen; and Dorothy was a Daisy. Mrs. McCleary could not recall much about the play’s theme. She does remember, though, that it was directed by Mrs. L.H. Cook, a teacher at the Methodist Sunday School. In our Nashville News files we were unable to turn up much on the event except this notice in the issue of June 7: “Children’s Day, planned for next Sunday, has Maple Valley Athletic Boosters elect officers VOTE FOR CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank my family and friends for the many flowers, cards and prayers for me while a patient at Pennock Hospital.

If you know any of these people and are not already working a Bingo shift, please call and offer a few hours of your time to keep our sports program running for your son or daughter. Boosters depend on our Thursday night Bingo in the MV High School cafeteria as its primary source of revenue, as well as the donations from the athletes and food concession profits. Those attending the last meeting agreed not to run “selling projects” which would probably conflict with other groups. If you attended Maple Valley’s Homecoming game, you may have purchased a blue or white balloon from a sophomore. The Boosters can thank Ann Ewing and Pat McClelland for heading up this project on behalf of the sophomore class and MVAB. All those balloons in our school colors certainly added to the festivities! Boosters owe a big “Thank You” to Tom Joostbems for once again climbing the light poles at the football field in order to change the bulbs. In the near future, we will have to replace the present lighting system, as it is unsafe for anyone to con­ tinue repairs indefinitely. Boosters would welcome any ideas on this subject. Bring your suggestions to our next meeting, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. in the high school office. Help us to provide another year of sports to the young people at Maple Valley.

A Decade of Service A Lifetime of Commitment �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, October 23, 1984 —Page 6 Vermontville woman keeps busy with crochet hook and needles By Shelly Sulser If you find it difficult to finish a project once you’ve started it, then you are not like Leona Fox of Ver­ montville. Mrs. Fox, who turned 84 yesterday, has made around 67-quilts and 35-afghans in the past 10-years. She makes most of them as gifts for friends and relatives, and has also taken orders and sold them. “I’ve made a quilt or an afghan for each of my grandchildren,” said Mrs. Fox, “ who has 10grandchildren and 12-greatgrandchildren. She plans to make three afghans for Christmas presents, one of which she will send to her grandson, Todd Beavers, who lives in London, England with his wife and three sons. Mrs. Fox began quilting and crocheting about 22 years ago. “I didn’t do much when my kids were young, when I was raising my family,” she said. Mrs. Fox also enjoys making towel holders and potholders. “I like to be creative and make up my own patterns,’’she said. “I’m proud of the things I make.’’ Unlike most people who make afghans, according to Mrs. Fox, in order to flatten an afghan after she has finished it, she will pin it down to the floor, and then place a large towel that has been soaked in vinegar, on top of it. She then uses her iron to steam it. Then, after letting it sit overnight, she will hang it up to dry. “That way it will always be flat. Even after you’ve dryed it in the clothes dryer,” she said. Before moving to Ver­ montville 21 years ago, Mrs. Fox lived on a farm in the area. Besides crafts, she also enjoys cooking and taking care of her plants. These are two examples of some of the quilts Mrs. Fox has made. ACTION-ADS Mrs. Fox working on o baby afghan she plans to give to a friend.

Wolff A special meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education will be held in the administration building, Monday, Oct. 29 beginning at 7 p.m. The meeting is being held to appoint a member to serve on the Board of Education until June 30, 1985 to fill the vacancy created by the Oct. 10 resignation of Merle Martin. The term of office which is vacant actually expires June 30, 1986. Therefore, at the annual election in June it will be necessary to elect one member to the board of education for a one year term. Anyone interested in being considered as a can­ didate to fill this vacancy should submit a letter prior to the special board meeting, and the letter should be addressed to Carroll J. Wolff, Superintendent, Maple Valley Schools, 11090 Nashville Highway, Ver- montville, MI 49096. At the present time letters have been received from Beatrice Pino and Marsha Ainslie. The teachers and ad­ ministrators would like to thank the parents for their attendance at the parent­ teacher conferences which were held last Thursday and Friday. The conference attendance at the elemen- tary level continued to be very high in all the elementary classes, and a very good attendance was evident at the Jr.-Sr. High School. The interest shown by parents as related to student progress was cer­ tainly encouraging, and we sincerely hope that this interest will be maintained throughout the school year.

Fall Colors Still Ablaze Michigan’s autumn color spectacular isn’t over yet! While certain areas of the Upper Peninsula and the northern half of the Lower Peninsula are at their peak right nqw, the fall colors in central and southern Lower Michigan can still be enjoyed for the next ten days. Legislature Would Require Special Elections Because two legislative districts have remained vacant since the beginning of the year, legislation, H.B. 5717, has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives what would require the governor to call a special election within 21 days of a vacancy and mandate that the election be held within 90 days of the vacancy. There are no current laws that require the governor to call a special election within a certain period of time when a vacancy occurs.

Wellman Road Nashville, Ml. 49073 852-9377 selected because “he is committed to improving the environment for existing businesses in Michigan and attracting new businesses to the state,” said Jerry Messer, chairman of the Small Biz PAC. Key to the Small Biz PAC endorsements were the candidates’ voting record on several pieces of legislation which were crucial to the development and success of small businesses in Michigan, including: In­ creased credit on Single Business Tax Credit, Worker’s Compensation reforms, Equal Access to Justice, Small business incubation legislation, Deli bills (removeddual licensing requirements for small grocery or other food stores which also sell prepared foods, such as sandwiches), and Administrative rules revisions. “Nash has been a significant support of small business concerns in Michigan,” according to John Galles, Executive Director of the Small Business Association of Michigan fSBAM). He has offered innovative legislation to spur small business development and has provided thoughtful input to the legislative process on behalf of ex­ panding and developing businesses. SBAM is a non-profit, bipartisan, tax-exempt organization which was created in 1967 to support and promote the common bond, enrichment, and preservation of Michigan small business. It offers legislative, political and educational support to a growing statewide mem­ bership, which currently consists of more than 2,500 small businesses. Ballot proposals explained by MSI! bulletin Among the issues before Michigan votes on Nov. 6 will be three ballot proposals for constitutional amendments that deal with governmental administrative and - tax issues. Known as A, B, and C, the proposals would have im­ portant ramifications for state government operation. Each proposal is outlined in the Extension publication “Statewide Ballot Proposals, 1984”. Single copies.are available through the Eaton County Cooperative Ex­ tension Service, 126 N. Bostwick, Charlotte 48813. “We are making this in­ formation available as part of our public policy education activities, which are part of Extension’s overall role,” says Adger Carroll, MSU Extension assistant director for natural resources and public policy programs. “The publication explains the constitutional proposals in sufficient detail that a careful reading will give most people an understanding of the major issues and concerns associated with the proposals,” Carroll says. 4-H leaders to be honored at annual banquet Oct. 27 “4-H, a tradition in our lives,” sets the theme for the 1984 4-H 4-H Leaders Recognition Banquet to be held Saturday, Oct. 27, at the 4-H Building on the Charlotte Fairgrounds.

October 23. 1984 End of fall harvest means time for garden cleanup The end of the fall harvest means it’s time for the final and one of the most im­ portantgardening tasks: the fall garden cleanup. It’s more than a matter of making the garden look tidy. Removing or plowing under the remains of this year’s crops will help reduce the incidence of disease next year and eliminate some overwintering insects. Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, advises removing all diseased garden materials and burning them or bagging them for the trash pickup. Though composting should destroy disease organisms if the pile is really hot -- at least 155 F. and if it’s completely turned, often both of these conditions do not occur, particularly at the edges of the pile, and so the disease organisms are not destroyed. In fact, the compost pile will merely provide them an over­ wintering place. Spreading the compost on the garden next spring will then reintroduct the organisms into the garden. Other plant debris can be plowed or tilled into the soil, where it will return nutrients to the soil and add organic matter. Removing or tilling plant debris helps control insects such as cucumber and potato beetles, squash bugs and European com borer. These insects spend the winter in garden debris and are on hand when the first crops go in or come up in the spring. Working the soil in the fall may enable you to plant ytiiltertliwJ b request and leafspot diseases and scab on apple and crabapple trees. Dig out iris rhizomes infested with iris borers and remove dead foliage so the borers have nowhere to lay their eggs. Also remove the canes of raspberries that bore fruit this year. They Regular Prices May Vary At Some Stores Due To Local Competition won’t fruit again and they could be harboring insects or disease organisms. Some plant disease organisms carry over in the soil from year to year. Removing plant materials and plowing will reduce but not eliminate these organisms. Buying disease­ resistant varieties and rotating crops around the garden so that crops from the same family don’t follow one another in the same spot are the best ways to prevent problems with soil-borne diseases.

One result of overexertion typically seen in farmers is fatigue due to long hours and time pressures. As the working day is lengthened, the accident rate goes up more than the increase in hours worked. When deep fatigue hits, give in! Even though you think you can’t stop in the middle of the work or you have deadlines to meet -you should stop. Fatigue signals, if ignored, will defeat you in the end. Fatigue actually is not all bad. It doesn’t change a farmer’s ability; it just diminishes it temporarily. If symptoms of fatigue are recognized and acted on, fatigue can be a valuable learning tool. It teaches you how much to expect from yourself, what the signs of strain are, and what to do about them. But it’s up to the farmer to be always alert to the cause and control of fatigue. earlier in the spring, too, especially if your soil tends to be heavy and slow to dry out.

Adults', children's sizes. h. 543-0733 Automotive Service Center, Phone 543-1197 Farmers preparing for fall harvest of com are noticing some fields with lodged stalks. County Extension Director, Allen Krizek suggests grabbing your field scouting hat and walking the problem fields to determine the cause. Several possibilities exist, including corn borer damage, com rootworm injury, stalk rots and environmental stress. Com borer damage can be easily identified by the breaking of the stalk at the borentry point, usually several inches or feet above the ground. Frass, or insect droppings, should also be evident at the entry point. The com borers can be controlled with a foliar in­ secticide applied in late June or early July when early feeding injury is noted on 50 percent of the plants. Corn rootworm larvae prune and tunnel in the roots of corn. Their feeding reduces the vigor of plants and cjin weaked the roots to the point that plants lodge and pull out of the ground at harvest. Lodging caused by the rootworms typically starts at soil level and the plants gradually curve up (“goose neck”) from their bases. Damage from the corn rootworm can be prevented by an application of a soil insecticide at planting time. Field scouting during peak adult rootworm emergence in August can determine the need for a soil insecticide in continuous corn. Not all fields require protection. Stalk rots are caused by several different fungi that become active several weeks after silking. Stalk rots result in a deterioration of the inner stalk tissues so that one or more of the lower internodes are easily compressed when squeezed between the thumb and fingers. Stalk rots are prevented primarily by hybrid selection. Environmental stress resulted in the lodging of corn early in the season, and it also appears to be taking its toll this fall. Crop specialist Bob Nielson at Purdue University explains the lodging has been brought on by the combination of cool, wet conditions during the following com planting and by the windy, hot and dry conditions that developed for the remainder of the growing season. These conditions prevented the development of a normal root system capable of supporting the plant. Dr. Nielson suggests there is not a surefire treatment for this condition except the arrival of a soaking rain. In situation where cultivation was possible, it may have been beneficial to throw loose soil around the plants to help provide physical support and help lower soil temperature. It has been a difficult growing season for many growers; but for those that have regularly scouted their crops, they have few sur­ prises when it comes to harvest time.

Fw> w*iP>, ■ >%> : W% 1 Ensiling drought-stressed corn is preferable to grazing it or feeding it as a green­ chop, according to Roger A. Betz, Extension Agricultural Agent. Ensiling drought-stressed corn will practically eliminate the possibility of nitrate toxicity and prevent an abrupt change in the ration that could throw animals off-feed. Before harvesting drought-stressed corn for silage, be sure all pesticides that have been applied to the crop are cleaned for silage use. The interval between final pesticide application and allowable harvest may differ for silage and grain. (Dyfonate, Counter and Furaden applied at planting time is not a problem.) The feed value of most silage made from droughtstressed corn will be, at worst, 70 percent of the value of silage made from well­ eared corn. More than likely, silage from drought-stressed corn will have a feeding value ranging from 90 to 100 percent of normal corn silage, based on equal dry weights of the two feeds. Crude fiber will be somewhat higher and TDN somewhat lower than that of normal silage because ears from drought-stressed corn may be 50 percent or more cob. Normal ears of corn contain 20 percent cob. Shelled corn from droughtstressed plants will contain 90 to 100 percent of the feed value of normal shelled corn, but the test weight will be lower. Market discounts for low test weight are greater than the reduction in feeding value, so this shelled com is a good buy for a livestock producer. The moisture level for corn that is chopped for silage should range between 55 and 70 percent.' Green barren stalks, which are likely to be abundant in droughtstressed corn, will have a moisture content ranging from 75 to 90 percent. But these will dry down rapidly if the weather remains hot and dry. Normally, five to seven bushels of corn are contained in each ton of silage har­ vested. If little or no grain is expected, a rough prehar­ vest yield estimate can be made by assuming that one ton of 30 percent dry matter silage may be obtained for each foot of height of un­ pollinated plant material per acre, tassel excluded. Silage made from droughtstressed corn is more than likely to be in a buyer’s market. Each ton of silage is worth about five times the current price per bushel of shelled corn. A minimum price should be $13.50 per ton, based on $2.70 com, but a top price will probably run around $23.50 per ton. On a feed value basis, however, one . ton of 30 percent dry matter corn silage will substitute for about one-third of a ton of hay, which is worth $70 a ton.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 113-No. 16 — Tuesday, October30, 1984 Trustee clerk seats up for grabs in Maple Grove Twp Monte Allen Susan Butler Rod Crothers Joyce Starring 5 seek office in Vermontville Township; 2 vie for treasurer Joe Ann Nehmer Jane Thrun Janice Baker By Shelly Sulser Five candidates are currently vying for seats in Vermontville Township government, but the only race will be for the treasurer’s position. Can­ didates seeking the other offices are unopposed. Janice Baker is the in­ cumbent Republican hoping to re-claim the position of township clerk, which she has held for four years. She is unopposed. Baker, 50, of 470 E. Main St., has lived 37 years in the township of Vermontville. Of her reason for running for office, Baker explains “I am running for office again because I like to work with people and for the people of the township, to meet the challenges that are brought before the township board. There are several issues at the present and I am interested in all of them, with the people of the township best interest in mind.” She is a 1952 graduate of Vermontville High School and a graduate of a cosmetologist school, with a degree of cosmetology. She is owner and operator of The Village Hair Port, and is active in the Girl Scouts, the Garden Club, and the Michigan Hairdressers Association. She and her husband Elon J. Baker have four children and three grandchildren. Edward Sampson is the unopposed Republican incumbent running for reelection for the seat of supervisor. Living in the township for 15 years. Ed Sampson Sampson has also serv.ed as township trustee for two years in the past. Sampson, 38, explained, “For the past two years I have served as township supervisor. When I took over this position I felt that a good working relationship with our village government was essential. Although opinions do not always concur, I believe we have developed a better working climate, which we can build on in the future.” He also said, “We all can be proud of our fire and ambulance deartments. The people who give so much of their time, with very little recognition are the one’s responsible for such fine departments. We are in the process of purchasing a new fire truck for our fire department and I would like to see this through.” Sampson lives at 581S. Main St. and he and wife Linda have two children: Jeremy, 10; and Katie who is six. He is a teacher at Maple Valley Continued on page 3— November 6 marks the day when voters will decide who will lead their community, as well as their district, state and country. Maple Grove township elections are also slated for that day, and voters will decide who will fill the available seats there.

A Republican, he is 36-years old and has resided in the township for six years at 8105 Barryville Rd. Crothers, a farmer, feels that “ it is important that elected of­ ficials, at all levels, do a good job of running govern­ ment and giving people a say in what is happening within government, and how their tax dollars are being spent.” Crothers attended two years at Kellogg Community College, and one year at Western Michigan University. He also served on the township board of review for three years. Joyce Starring of 8610 Cloverdale Rd., hopes to recapture the seat of township treasurer, which she has held for 19-years.

Bishop states that she “likes the job.” She and husband Herb have fivechildren; Pam Godbey; Tom, 19; Marcia, 17; Kenny, 14; and Randy, 12. Loretta Pixley is the unopposed Republican for the office of township treasurer. Pixley, 37, lives at 9180 Thornapple Lk. Rd. and is currently employed as a bus driver for Maple Valley Schools. She says she is seeking election because she “would like to become more familiar with the workings of local government. I feel that the lack of knowledge on certain issues could affect all residents of Castleton Township. I would like to see more involvement at this level.” Pixley and husband Don have two-children: Dawn, 17; and Scott, 14. Three candidate^ are vying for the two-trustee seats on the township board. Nelson Rasey is the in­ cumbent Republican can­ didate for trustee. Rasey, 63, of Bayne Rd. currently makes his living at farming, and formerly as a businessman and factory supervisor.

That was all the houses from there to the railroad on the south side of Reed.” Howell recalled that just west of the railroad on the north side of the street lived Frank (“Shorty”) Purchis and his wife. “The next place west (which is' no longer there) was a small house that was longer east Sind'west thanTt/ivas north and south,” wrote Howell. “Duff and Thelma Eddy lived there .. the next house .west was Mrs. Ackett and son Fred. The next house west was where Ed Liebhauser and wife lived ... I think next to them west was were Nooky Defoe lived.” Other Reed Street families Howell remembered were the Bensons, the Banty Cramers, the Chancy Hicks, the Will Deans, and Florence Grohe and father. He also named most of the children Of alt the familiek who had youngsters, . We think Howell did an. excalerit job" of. dredging up the names of his old Reed Street neighbors (he moved away from here more than 40 years ago). He also had this .interesting notation about a business located on the present-day Justin Cooley property: “There was a D-X serivce station on the N.E. corner of Main and Reed that was run for a while by a man from Indiana, and when he went out of business two by Susan Hinckley “About Reed Street: I used to know nearly everyone on that street but I can’t dredge them all out of my memory anymore,” wrote former local resident Guy Howell of Tucson, Arizona, last week in response to olir recent Memories story on Reed Street homes. As a lad Guy lived with his parents, the Ransom Howells, at 716 Reed (three houses east 6F Lentz on the south side of the street). “On the S.W. corner of Reed and Lentz was Sam Varney,” added Howell. On the southeast corner a family by the name of Childs lived. The house next east of them was Charles and Flora Cruso. He was a Civil War veteran. They had (a daughter) Amber, who married T.S.K. Reid, otherwise known as ‘Tex’ because he was from Texas.” Howell continued his list: “The next house was ours, then Cliff Tarbell and Stella lived inthe.house east of us: They had Herbert and Dorothy; she was about my age. The next house was where Barney Brooks lived. He also was a Civil War veteran and a former schoolteacher. He also kept bees.. The next house east was where Emmitt and Emma Gibson lived. Altogether before they left Nashville they had 12 children. I can’t remember the name of the man who lived in. the next house east. If the family of the deceased discovers that the only copy of a will, burial instructions, cemetery deed arid 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. Consequently, these types of documents should not be kept in a safe deposit box. brothers from Nashville started it up again. -One of them_was about four ft. tall and the other one just over three and one-half ft. They had the nickname “Feather Merchants” after .some characters in one of the Sunday comics.” Howell added: “Right across the street (south of the D-X). was the Appleman house, on the southeast corner of Main and ReedThat is the threestory brick home built in 1881 by Fred Appleman that was pictured in our Memories article. “I think it was a house one block east of Main that had two beautiful tall fir trees,” concluded Howell. “Those trees were probably between 50 and 100 ft. tall.” Interestingly, Guy Howell is ah uncle to Joyce (Dawson) Baker of Delton, who wrote us last week about her birth in the old Appleman place. We welcome all rememberances of Reed Street that any of our readers care" to" share with us: Many little ghosts and goblins will be afoot throughout the village tomorrow evening, as they make their annual rounds. Please drive with care and watch out for the tiny tykes. Have a safe .and happy Halloween. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 1, at Comerica Bank.

They are Lucille Sackett and Gladys Bassett (third and fourth from the left, respectively) and Bernita Cole, at extreme right: T.j.

Main St., and is a Vermontville Township, continued High School, and holds three degrees he earned from Dean Jr. College in Franklin, Mass., Olivet College and MSU. He feels that “Local government gives us local control over issues and concerns that affect our own township. I would like the opportunity to continue to serve locally the people of Vermontville Township and would ap­ preciate their support.” Jane Thrun, the Republican in the race to reclaim her seat as township treasurer, has lived in the township all her life. She has served in the position of township treasurer for 20 years, and lives at 711 Vermontville Hwy. Thrun feels that some of the biggest problems in the township are roads, repairs for the Opera House, and keeping the fire equipment in proper con­ dition. Serving the people in the township is also im­ portant, she said. She is a graduate of Vermontville High School and Lansing Business College. Mrs. Thrun, a widow, is currently employed as secretary at Grand Ledge Clay Products and her community ac­ tivities include memberships in the Vermontville Women’s Club, LCA, and the First Congregational Church of Vermontville. Joe Ann Nehmer is the Democrat on the ticket opposing Thrun for township treasurer. This is her first bid for election to a public office, and she promises to make numerous changes should she be elected. Such changes include the in­ duction of a checks and balance system of bookkeeping, where both township clerk and treasurer must balance the accounts. “Another change I would make if elected is to have a printed itemized monthly report showing each ac­ count-fire, library, and general funds,” she said. Nehmer is 39, and has lived in the township for 10 years. She graduated from Charlotte High School in 1963, and later attended the AMA accredited College of Respiratory Therapy. She currently works at Hayes Green Beach Hospital as a Respiratory Therapist and is involved in numerous community activities.

NEWSOUTH COCHRAN LOCATION TO OPEN Eaton Federal Announces Spring Ground-Breaking Artist's rendering of the new Eaton Federal building, to be completed in the summer of 1986. It is with great pleasure and excitement that Eaton Federal Savings and Loan Association announces plans to begin construction of its new home office building in the spring of 1985. The new building will be located in the 200 block of South Cochran Ave., on the site formerly occu­ pied by the Munger Hardware and two residen­ tial houses, which have been removed. The new structure will be a two-story building with a full basement. Each floor will consist of approximately 7,000 square feet. The second story will be unfinished for the present, avail­ able for future expansion. The basement will be used for the equipment room, storage vault, employee lounge, including ample storage area. The main floor will be of modem design, and will include eight teller stations, lobby, loan department, accounting department, new accounts department, general office areas, a safe deposit box vault and a book vault. Also included in the main floor will be an automatic of traffic from Seminary Street exiting onto South Cochran. The Board of Directors of Eaton Federal Sav­ ings and Loan has made the commitment to proceed with the new building after careful consideration. The sale of the Association's present office building and surrounding prop­ erty to the Felpausch Company will further enhance the downtown area. The Board of Directors is very pleased to be a part of this new development of downtown Charlotte. Eaton Federal is a local financial institution, directed, managed and staffed by local people with additional offices in the surrounding communities of Eaton Rapids, Nashville and Olivet. The institution has been rated in the top 10 percent nationally for many years. The construction of the new home office is expected to be completed in the summer of 1986. teller machine.and a teller station for two drive-in windows. A separate vault for safe deposit boxes will greatly increase the number of boxes available. The book vault will allow the safekeeping of valuable papers and loan files. The new facility will give the institution space for growth in the lending department which has been desperately needed. Personnel space for consumer and automobile loans will enhance the offering of these services to the public. A separate new accounts area will streamline operations and reduce customer waiting time. The building will be of brick and block con­ struction, designed to blend into the downtown location, and still maintain its own distinctive appearance. The parking lot will accommo­ date approximately 35 vehicles, with the entrance from Bostwick Street.

Twice last year we selected particular issues of the paper (Nov. 9, 1931, and Feb. 6,1933) for excerpts featured in this column. Today’s Memories looks at news items selected from the Informant published October 31,1932 - exactly 52 years ago tomorrow. We hope they evoke an abundance of happy memories for our many readers who were students of that era.) Juniors-Seniors Enjoy Banquet and Dancing The I.O.O.F. hall was the scene of unusual activity last Thursday night, when the juniors gave the seniors that “longed-for” chicken sup­ per. The banquet was served at 6:30 by 20 sophomores. The hall, attractively decorated in the autumnal color, gave a lovely setting for the tables. The place cards and menu combined were colorful autumn leaves. Between mouthfuls the seniors challenged the juniors to a series of songs, when they were promptly answered. After the banquet the evening was spent in dancing and playing table tennis. Music was furnished by “The Hastonians,” an or­ chestra from Hastings. Plans Made For Community for the team.

A year later the monthly paper continued to carry news of school related activities and actions that were of interest to the community at large. A noted topic in the Oct. 31, 1932, issue was introduction of a new style report card that showed not only the individual scholar's grade but also his ranking among his classmates. Nashville’s 1876 opera house, seen here in the final stages of its more than 60year span, long served as the center of community life. In the Oct. 31, 1932, issue of the Nashville High School Informant, it is cited as location for several upcoming activities: a school play, the community fair, and basketball games. The opera house was rented by the school board for the eager season, and cleaned up by the school custodian, according to the Informant.

No, they didn’t have quadruplets. The Conklins fulfilled a dream of having a family by adopting four youngsters (two brothers and two sisters) from the Central American country of Costa Rica, located between Panama and Nicaragua. For the children, the adoption meant that they could stay together as a unit and gain a mother and father in the process. Today, the Conklins and their children seem to have adjusted well to each other and their new sense of ‘family.’ “It takes all of us to make a home,” says Donna. Everyone helps with chores, not only to tackle the daily tasks but to prepare the children for the future, she adds. And everyone pursues their own special interests plus family activities. Mari, the eldest of the siblings, is now 15 and a freshman in high school; Maria is 13 and a fifth grader, Gerardo is 8 and in third grade, and Luis, 7, is a second grader. All attend Maple Valley Schools. The children spoke their native Spanish language when the Conklins adopted them in December, 1981. However, communication wasn’t the biggest ad­ justment the family faced. “The biggest adjustment for the children was getting used to our food. There were a lot of things that they had to acquire a taste for. Now they like almost everything, said Russell. The exceptions are olives and spinach, the children add. “We don’t like them.” i a 8 pisWiftii ! 5ft lid pdeobt' i as a l at ail loft! reais et|! jQS®?^ fcrtipi|,j tettf rts’j ■in ’awspi'i jj 5E2 i ftsts *i s;« J «t^ie’ »a3*iW*' H2at sa®fe!

Colder weather meant another adaptation for the children and Donna recalls that when they experienced snow for the first time, “They all ran out in their stocking feet to touch it.” During their first months together as a family, Donna said, they were able to communicate through “a lot of mutual effort and pan­ tomiming.” To assist them in learning to read English, the children A 00 WASH HAIRCU S T & BLOW DRY “The Mirrors image" .Jige HIIXOL2 miaae..

As far as changing her own life style from a working woman to a mother, Donna said the additional cooking didn’t bother her. One of the most difficult changes was “hearing the constant chatter” of the children “after not having kids around for 14-years,” she laughs. For the Conklins, having their own family was an answer to many prayers. “We kept praying that the Lord would give us children,”, said Donna.

(Reminder photo) Children, continued throughout the state that there would be about a 10year wait for babies or toddlers. She said they didn’t want to wait that much longer for children so they began to search out other sources. Their efforts were fulfilled through working with the Department of Social Ser­ vices’ international unit which Russell says has since disbanded. Once the contact was established, the process took about six months. “Some people in Detroit got us a contact in Costa Rica and we exchanged letters and phone calls,” he said. For the final stages of the process, the Conklins boarded a plane to San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, and established residency in that country to comply with Costa Rican adoption laws. During the 14-day period to establish residency, the Conklins lived as a family unit, under the guidance of a social worker, with their prospective adopted children. Actually, the Conklins have adopted the children twice — once in Costa Rica and later in America to comply with guidelines in both countries. When the couple brought Deer now pose hazards In areas where white­ tailed deer are abundant, car-deer collisions are likely to occur. These accidents may result in personal in­ jury, property damage, and occasionally, human fatalities. Most car-deer collisions involve motorists innocent of any traffic offense. Ac­ cidents usually occur on state and county roads (not interstate highways) dur ng periods of darkness. Special care should be taken in the fall when the population is highest and the animals are breeding, and also in the winter when food supplies are reduced. When driving in deer country, take the following precautions: --heed warnings signs; -assume that any deer along the roadside will cross; -leave ample stopping distance between your car and the car ahead; -if one deer crosses, be alert for others. the children to their new Valley Highway home in rural Vermontville, it was nearly Christmas time. “People that we didn’t even know sent us gifts,” said Donna. We were so overwhelmed (with the generosity of others), we didn’t know what to do.” A story about the couple’s new adopted family was picked up by wire services and publicized all over the United States and Canada. As a result, the Conklins not only were bombarded with gifts but letters and phone calls from many people who asked for tips on how they could adopt children. The family has a scrap­ book filled with photos and some of the news clippings to record all their important events together as a family. These include birthday celebrations featuring special cakes Donna decorates with a personalized theme for each child and sanpshots of trips to the South to visit relatives and travels in the northern part of the state. The Conklin children have become involved in many activities. Mari is going out for volleyball, Gerardo plays on a peewee baseball team, Luis was Puff the Magic Dragon at a school event, and Maria sings at church functions. The family is active in the Nashville Baptist Church and where the girls sing in the choir. As a family project, the Conklins raise rabbits and usually have between 30-40 of the animals although they had about 80 this summer. The youngsters help with the feeding and general care of the rabbits as well as help with work in the garden. Donna and Russell keep their children in contact with other Costa Rican youngsters who have been adopted by couples in the Detroit area. The families get together annually. Raising adopted children isn’t anything new to the Conklin side of the family. Russell, who works as a die maker at Hoover Universal in Charlotte and has relatives in Hastings and other parts of Barry County, says there are a total of eight-adopted children on his side of the family.

Watch for Grand Opening • LEE • PALMETTOS • CHIC • COSCOB •ZENA • FLEXTARD Leotards & Tights Plans for a new bridge over Quaker Brook on East Francis Street began to take shape at the meeting of the Nashville council Thursday night. No definite figures for the cost of the bridge have been received, but, according to Leon Frith of the Nashville sewage plant, an estimated $100,000 to $107,000 will be the total cost of the project. Preliminary engineering, which inlcudes a survey, check on sedimentation control, lab survey and decision on the size opening of the bridge, will cost the village about $6,000. The city would also be required to pay 10 percent of the total cost of the project which is about $14,000-20,000, according to Frith. The major cost of the project will be paid with federal and state funds. In other business, Carl’s Supermarket requested a revised tax abatement certificate of 10 years rather than the five year com­ mercial facilities exemption certificate they received last month for a proposed community center. The council approved the revision. Castleton township supervisor Justin Cooley suggested that area residents be allowed to use water for their gardens in the summertime without being required to pay the usual rate. No action was taken on the matter. Council member Bob Harvey said concerned citizens have approace approached him about excessive bicycle riding on the downtown sidewalks despite the signs that are posted to discourage it. There is an ordinance that prohibits the riding of bicycles on the sidewalks, but it seems to have been ignored, according to the citizens who talked to Harvey. The council approved a request for an open-air extension of a liquor license for Otie Hiser, owner of Otie’s Place, a bar in Nash­ ville. The Liquor Control Commission has final authority in the matter. The council approved making the final payment for the completion of the sewer work that was recently finished in Nashville. Genesis contracted the job two years y ago, and has recently completed the project. Village President John Hughes signed a resolution stating the council councils ’s opop­ position to Proposal C which will appear on the Nov. 6 ballot. The village could stand to lose thousands of dollars. WHEREAS, the proponents of Proposal C say it is aimed primarily at state programs, Proposal C actually will have greater and more devastating impact on local government services and education, and WHEREAS, Proposal C is an example of "overkill’ because it goes far beyond the simple question of the right to vote on tax issues the proponents of Proposal C are seeking to mislead the people into believing, and WHEREAS, Proposal C in fact is a drastic proposal to roll 1985 state and local tax rates back four years to 1981 levels and thus cause the Village of Nashville to lose in 1984-1985 an estimated $18,500.00 and in 1985-86 $27,300.00 in state revenue sharing funds, state gas and weight tax funds, and property tax rovenues, and WHEREAS, the Village of Nashville could call a special election at considerable expense to our taxpayers to prevent the poroperty tax revenue loss, the Village can do little to prevent the substantial loss in its state revenue sharing funds or its state-returned street fund revenues, and WHEREAS, the loss in revenues under Proposal C likely will result in re­ duced street maintenance programs, reduced police and fire protection ser­ vices, reduced parks and recreation programs, and reductions in other services, and WHEREAS, Proposal C also will cause severe reductions in state funds for schools, universities and colleges, will harm the state's business community and our economic and fiscal recovery programs, will increase the cost of bonds issued to pay for public works projects, will endanger Michigan's property tax credit program for senior citizens, farmers and other property taxpayers, and will cause needless expenditures of taxpayer dollars to pay for hundreds of special elections throughout the state every year; and WHEREAS, Proposal C will destroy our historic tradition of representative government and is so badly drafted and confusing that it will cause substan­ tial expenditures of taxpayer dollars for litigation in the courts for many years to come; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Village of Nashville that the voters should not be misled by simple slogans but should carefully analyze and consider the serious consequences of Proposal C, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that our citizens should keep Michigan's come­ back alive by voting NO on Proposal C.* ADOPTED BY THE NASHVILLE VILLAGE COUNCIL ON OCTOBER 25, 1984.

The Lions are now 4-3-1 with the win. Potterville scored first in the contest after just a minute and 48 seconds of the game when Scott Bennett teamed up with Chris Johnson on a 70 yard pass for the touchdown. The extra point failed when the pass was broken up by Lion defenders. Maple Valley marched right back with a 75 yard drive in six plays as Ryan Trowbridge raced 29 yards to score. The crucial extra point kick was good by Tim Higdon, taking over for Gary Reid as kicker, and Maple Valley had a 7-6 lead. Two possessions later, Potterville scored again. Unable to run the ball, the Vikings took to the air again, this time on a 15 yard completion for a touchdown. The extra point try again failed and Potterville held a 12-7 lead. Maple Valley continued to move the ball, but could not put it into the end zone, and Potterville now began to successfully move the ball by running as well as passing to move in for another score. This time it was a four yard run by Doug Johnson. The extra point pass was good yard line with 40 seconds to play. On third and two, Hartenburg threw to Ryan Trowbridge who outraced the Potterville speedsters to the end zone with the win­ ning touchdown. The extra point failed, but the victory was assured when the defense stopped Potterville from moving the ball in the final few seconds. The Lion defense was led by Scott Villanueva, Chug Maurer, Pat Resseguie, Mark Hess, and Ryan Trowbridge. Glen Ewing and Tim Higdon had in­ terceptions for the Lions. Offensively, Jim Benit had his best night with 115 yards on 15 carries. Trowbridge added 69 yards rushing and 87 yards on pass receptions as Kurt Hartenburg con­ nected on five of seven passes for 92 yards and the winning touchdown. With Gary Reid out of the contest, several people filled in with excellent per­ formances. Robert Browne Robert Browne (24) tries to sidestep a Potterville tackler in Maple Valley's 21-20 win over the Vikings last week. The Lions are now 4-3 overall this fall. and Potterville held a 20-7 lead. Maple Valley, showing outstanding character, moved 57 yards in 10 plays on its next possession to score. Jim Benit ran the four yards for the touchdown and Ryan Trowbridge ran the two point conversion to cut the Vikings’ lead to 20-15. The score stayed like that until halftime. In the second half, Maple Valley’s defense played well, holding Potterville out of the end zone. Meanwhile, the Lions squandered one scoring opportunity by fumbling on the nine yard line after moving the ball 65 yards in five plays, the big one a 40 yard run by Jim Benit. But the defense now completely shut down the Potterville offense and forced the Vikings to punt to the Lion 27 yard line where a fair catch by Kurt Hartenburg gave Maple Valley its last opportunity. Two pass completions and three running plays by Benit put the ball at the Potterville 20 Maple Valley had a short trip to Potterville and also a very successful one in downing the Vikings 24-8. Maple Valley recovered a Potterville fumble at the 45 yard line to start their opening drive. Dale Dickinson recovered the fumble for the Lions. Maple Valley relyed on the strength of the line of Mitch Collier, Matt Ewing, Drew Pixley, Brian Ainsworth, Sherman Reid and Frank Purchis to score their first touchdown. David Benit Shored the Lions’ first touchdown and the extra point attempt was blocked. Maple Valley led 6 to 0 after one quarter. Potterville marched deep into Maple Valley territory but a good tackle by Matt Owen and other Maple Valley Lions stopped Potterville’s fourth down play. In the second quarter, a 20 yard pass from Adam Brumm to Scott Carpenter and a 20 yard run by George Steinbrecher set up Maple Valley’s next score. Adam Brumm scored on a one yard quarterback sneak. Maple Valley elected to go for two points and Matt Owen scored the extra point. Maple Valley now led 14 to 0. Potterville gave Maple Valley another opportunity to score after a bad snap on a punt attempt. Tai Gearhart kicked a 27 yard field goal on the last play of the first half. Jeff Fisher held for the kick and Drew Pixley snapped. The halftime score was Maple Valley 17 and Pot­ terville 0. Maple Valley scored again in the third quarter on a 5 yard run by David Benit. Danny Kellogg added the extra point, making the score Maple Valley 24 and Potterville 0. Potteville scored in the fourth quarter, making the score 24 to 8.

The freedom to vote is a privilege, a privilege I hold very dear. I can not un­ derstand why the educational system in Michigan would want to use such large amounts of money to defeat Proposal C. Why don’t they want the people of this state to vote on how their money is spent? Proposal C seems to be a big issue with the educational community. Not allowing the people of Michigan the right to vote on tax issues is not the answer to education. The answer to funding education needs to be corrected at the state and federal level. How many Michigan citizens have written to their state representative and suggested some other means for supporting school other than by property tax? Let us, as a people, unite to solve the problems and regain our voting rights, rather than point a finger at Proposal C, which would give us back the right to vote on issues that concern us — a right which we should never have lost.

November 6. 1984 Sleeper appointed to MV school board seat By Shelly Sulser LeRoy Sleeper of Ver­ montville has been named to fill the trustee position on the Maple Valley School Board that was created by the recent resignation of Merle Martin. The board took four-votes last Monday night before finally agreeing to appoint Sleeper. With eight people vying for the seat, “This is a difficult decision to make,” said board President David Hawkins. A roll call vote was taken, with five of the eight receiving votes. A second vote was then taken, ending with identical results. After deliberating about a dif­ ferent possible method of choosing the new member and failing to come to a decision, a third vote was cast, resulting in a changed vote and leaving four people to choose from. The board then narrowed the final decision down to two candidates — the two with the most votes, Sleeper National VFW commander visits Nashville Post during state tour By Shelly Sulser Nashville was one of 22stops for Veterans of Foreign Wars .(VFW) Commander­ in-Chief Billy Ray Cameron, during his tour of the Department of Michigan, Monday, Oct. 22. Cameron, accompanied by State Commander Dino National VFW Commander Billy Ray Cameron speaks to Nashville Post 8260 while Post Commander Ernie Rice looks on. (Maple Valley News photos by Shelly Sulser) Costantini, addressed Nash­ ville post 8260 on such matters as needed help for the Veterans Administration programs and the importa nee of voter par­ ticipation. Cameron, who was the first Vietnam veteran to be selected to serve as national commander, received the honor at the VFW’s 85th annual convention in Chicago on August 24. Other names in the crowd to welcome Cameron were Nashville Post Commander Ernest Rice, and District Commander Bill Beachnau, along with many Barry County political candidates. “When we were coming in to town, I said ‘I didn’t know we were going to visit the town of the Grand Ole Opry’ but then I realized I had the wrong Nashville,”- com­ mented Cameron. After his brief visit in Nashville, Cameron went on to Albion. and Dave Hagan. Sleeper came out on top, receiving four of six board members’ votes. Others in contention for the board position were Beatrice Pino, Marsha Ainslie, Lorne Laymon, James Bryan, Stan Smith, and Duane Davidson. Sleeper has lived in Vermontville for five years and has four children in Maple Valley schools. In his letter of application to School Superintendent Carroll Wolff, Sleeper said: “I know that you are aware of my interest, desire and (Maple Valley News Photo by Shelly Sulser) concern for the highest quality educational system possible in our school district. I am familiar with' the general purpose and operation of the board, and have been attending scheduled and special meetings regularly over the past several years. I am willing to work with the other board members as a team, sharing ideas, suggestions, and criticisms to safeguard and promote our schools for all the children in our community. “As in the past, I will devote the necessary time and effort to be well in­ formed, effective and decisive. For those reasons I ask you to consider ap­ pointing me to the present vacant seat on the Maple Valley School Board,” Sleeper said. Clerk and Trustee resign from Vermontville Village Council By Shelly Sulser Resignations from Ver­ montville Village Clerk Diane Casteele and trustee Gary Burton were accepted by the council at its regular meeting Thursday night. Burton, in a telephone interview, said he resigned because he was unhappy with council procedures and what he called “too much back biting.” Vermontville man escapes from jail Ernie Rice, Dino Constantini, Audrey Burdick, Dave Wood, Bill Cameron, Sandy Schondelmayer and Jill McGregor, daughter of Republican Jackie McGregor who is hoping to unseat Howard Wolpe for the third U.S. congressional seat, were among those attending the recent Nashville VFW event. Welcoming LeRoy Sleeper to the Maple Valley School Board are: from left, Paula Cole, Dale Ossenheimer, Wayne Cogswell, David Hawkins, Jean Baker and Ron Tobias. A Vermontville man in custody in the Eaton County Jail overcame his jailer Sunday morning, tied him up in a closet, and escaped with another inmate. Authorities say the man, John David Primm, 27, should be considered “ar­ med and dangerous." The second inmate has been captured by police. Police describe Primm as 5-feet, 8-inches tall, about 140 pounds, with short brown hair, and brown eyes. He was in jail for fleeing and eluding a police officer, and felonious assault at the time of the escape. A news release issued by the Barry County Sheriff Department says Primm’s parents live in Woodland, and that he has brothers in the Nashville and Ver­ montville area. In a prepared statement to the Maple Valley News, Casteele said she submitted her resignation with regret because of “an unexpected change” in her personal circumstances. “...It is necessary that my time be available for other concerns. Rather than let the village office become a second priority...! feel it is best to transfer the position to another,” Casteele said in the statement. Sharon Stewart was chosen by the council to replace Casteele as village clerk, and Stewart was immediately sworn in at Thursday’s meeting.. Don Rugg and Bill Bailey applied for appointment to the trustee position to replace Burton. However, after reaching a 3-3 vote between the two men, the council tabled the matter until its next meeting to give other interested parties an opportunity to submit applications to fill the trustee vacancy. The new clerk, Stewart, resides at 177 Maple St. in Vermontville. She formerly kept the books for her family farm for 12 years, worked as the register of balloting and banking for Coast to Coast Hardware, and is currently serving as treasurer of the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters. She and husband, Harold Stewart, have two sons, Dean and Kevin. She will fill out the remaining one and one-half years of the clerk’s term. In other business, the village council tabled action concerning a written agreement dealing with ownership of the Ver­ montville police cruiser for the department which is operated by the village and Vermontville Township. Currently, only a verbal agreement exists between the village and township concerning ownership of the vehicle. The letter of agreement was tabled pending correction of a slight “wording” problem con­ cerning the “governmental units” which which Village President Sue Villanueva and Township Supervisor Ed Sampson plan to iron out at a meeting between the two sometime this week. Sampson said he sent the letter of agreement to the council because there was nothing previously documented or written stating that the two governmental units would share the cost of the car equally, and that should the police department disolve for any reason, the value of the car be divided between the village and the township. The police cruiser mentioned in the agreement was recently totaled in an accident while responding to a personal injury rollover on Lawrence Rd., according to Villanueva. As a result, the Continued on page 8— HASTINGS PUBLIC LIBRARY NO 07*84 121 S. CHURCH STREET Hastings, Michigan 49058 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Tuesday.

Little ghosts and goblins plying their door-to-door trade Halloween evening were pelted by a fairly steady downpour, drenching the colorfully costumed youngsters as well as parents who accompanied the little ones. For most local householders, “trick-ortreat” traffic was far below average — perhaps less than half the number of callers who were received last year on Halloween evening. The dismal rain continued throughout the following day, preceding a “cold snap” which arrived Friday. More about early Reed Street homes: Dana Dean of Vermontville recalls a few of the folks who were his neigh­ bors when he grew up here.

Castleton Township voters will cast their ballots at the township hall at 98 S. Main Street, while Maple Grove Township electors will vote at their new community building on South Durkee Street (M-66) in Nashville. To simplify and speed the process, it is a good idea for. voters to study the various proposals and candidates before going to the polls, record individual decisions on a slip of paper at home and carry these notations into the voting booth for easy reference. This extra effort will help eliminate a long wait for others in the voting lines and also will lessen confusion for the voter once he or she enters the booth.

During the 1900 presidential race Theodore Roose­ velt, as the running mate of President William Mc­ Kinley (who did not campaign), traveled 21,000 miles through 24 states and made countless whistlestops, including one at Nashville in Sept. Also visiting the village on a campaign stop that fall was William Jen­ nings Bryan, who later lost the election to McKinley. When the president was assassinated the following year, T. R. Succeeded to the presidency. Roosevelt returned to Nashville on Feb. 11, 1911 (the day this photo was taken), but was not a candidate for any office, having completed McKinley's term and one of his own. Brady informs us the trouble was not the fault of any members, having been started by a couple of Ver­ montville toughs.” Other newsworthy ac­ tivities at those early local rallies included raising political banners on the highest possible poles, as each party tried to outdo the other. “Pole-raising . is the big order of the day and all parties seem determined to find and raise the tallest pole for their own chosen ban­ ner,” reported The News in mid-Qctober 1880. Such events provided plenty of colorful copy for the local press, which also had the responsibility of keeping readers apprised of national political issues before the days of electronic media in the home. The local weekly papers also joined the city dailies in reporting election results of state and national contests that today are supplied almost instantaneously by radio and TV. In the early years, it sometimes took a couple of days to receive the final outcome via telegraph. “After soaking up the good election news from Tuesday night through Thursday, the local Republicans finally let their joy overflow Friday night and they staged a gala torchlight parade on Main Street,” commented The News after the 1880 contest. “There were mottoes, caricatures, and tran­ sparencies, many of them truly artful.” And one week later, this notice: “A meeting of the Garfield & Arthur club has been called for Monday night at Chas. Brady’s office. There is considerable unfinished business to take The agricultural ware room of Glasgow's hardware store served as Nash-­ ville's polling place on Nov. 4, 1984, the day Grover Cleveland was elected as the first Democratic president in nearly 25 years. Shortly thereafter, according to The Nashville News, Crepe was found tied on the doors of all the Republican busin­ essmen in the village. The ware room housed farm equipment at Glasgow's.. Seen in the center of this 1920s view through Central Park, the store was built in 1875-76 by early local merchant Charles Wolcott and sold in 1881 to Cassius L. Glasgow, who retained control 50 years while going on to become state senator and railroad commissioner. When the building was razed in 1977 it had continuously served as a hardware for more than a century. "Campaign tales which are spread at the last minute before election day are usually lies, made out of whole cloth,," warned The News on. Oct. 30, 1924, reminding voters that "such a story defeated Charles Appleton of Nashville for county school commissioner several years ago." This 1915 photo shows the popular local school superintendent (center, in topcoat) with a delegation of local students who were at the Nashville depot to greet him when it was thought victory was his. The 1924 contest at which The News issued the warning saw an overwhelming Republican sweep led by election of President Calvin Coolidge. care of, consisting largely of unpaid bills connected with the victory parade.” Today’s Memories column takes a look at a few local reports of some subsequent presidential campaigns.

Less than two weeks from today will occur perhaps the most important presidential election that the United States has had.

Michigan was one of the most conspicuous slacker states. That this disgrace may not again be ours, the League of Women Voters is working toward a 75 percent vote... There is no league in our town, therefore, the league is placing in the hands of the Woman’s Literary Club definite suggestions “to get out the vote”... (Oct. 30)...

Tuesday’s elections resulted in an overwhelming Republican victory in the country, President (Calvin) Coolidge being eleced in a runaway race over Davis and LaFollette.

Groesbeck for governor and Couzens for U.S. senator are both returned...

Nyle was one of 10 volunteer 4-H leaders selected to represent Michigan. Nearly 300 leaders from 12 north central states participated in the con­ ference, designed to help volunteer leaders gain skills in working with youths. The conference which followed the theme of “4-H Building Lives Through Learning,” featured more than 20 speakers and workshop sessions. Topics included the impact potential of volunteers, meeting special needs of youths, teaching life skills, family involvement in 4-H and time management. At the conclusion of the conference, Michigan delegates prepared action plans to share what they’ve learned with other 4-H leaders. Wells and the others will play key roles in plan­ ning two different 4-H leader training conferences to be held in 1986. One conference, Leadermete, will be for all Michigan 4-H leaders and potential leaders from across the state. Leadermete will be held at Kellogg Center at Michigan State University, Feb. 28 - March 1, 1986. The other 4-H leader conference Wells will help plan is the North Central Regional Leader Forum, which Michigan has the opportunity to host Nov. 13- 16,1986. It will be held at the Sheraton Inn, Lansing. For more information about participation in 4-H as a volunteer leader or member, contact Nancy Diuble-Thelen, 126 N.

Maple Valley J Vs down K'zoo Christian, 23-12 Last Thursday, the Maple Valley jayvee football team traveled to Kalamazdo and beat Kalamazoo Christian 23-12 on a rainy and muddy day in their last game. It was very difficult to move the ball in the first half and neither team scored until Maple Valley ran a quarterback sneak for an apparent touchdown. The touchdown was called back and after three plays, Maple Valley took the lead on a 26 yard field goal with about 45 seconds left in the first half. It appeared Maple Valley would lead 3-0 at the half. On Kalamazoo Christian’s first play, they attempted a pass which Matt Owen in­ tercepted at the 27-yard line and returned in for a touch­ down. Drew Pixley threw a key block at the 10-yard line so Owen could score. Tai Gearhart kicked the extra point, making the score Maple Valley 10 and Kalamazoo 0 at the half. Adam Brumm returned the second half kickoff 65 yards for a touchdown. This made the score Maple Valley 16 and Christian 0. There was no more scoring until the fourth quarter when Chris Thomson intercepted a pass and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown.

Nothvrlle Tuesday. November 6. 1984 — Page 10 Disappointing year ends with 27-0 loss Randy Eshuis scored four touchdowns as Kalamazoo Christian ended a frustrating season for Maple Valley by beating the Lions 27-0 last Friday. Eshuis, the Hornet's talented tailback, scored twice in the first period on runs of 15 and 5 yards, added a second quarter one-yard plunge, and a final oneyarder in The fourth quarter The loss left Maple Valley, a pre-season SMAA title choice, with a disapointing 4­ 4-1 record. Three of the losses were by a touchdown or less while Lion coach Dan Watson said those losses along with the 7-7 tie with Fowler were decided by a single play each time. A key penalty or a big play that usually went against Maple Valley was the key to the season, said Watson. Plus a multitude of injuries. “I guess with the injuries that’s a respectable record," he said. “There were a lot of ifs for us this season. “We didn’t always play well, but we certainly played hard." Against the Hornets, the Lions were hurt by three fumbles and two in­ terceptions. One of the fumbles led directly to a KZoo touchdown while another one kept the Lions from scoring. Still, the Lions managed 247 total yards on offense. Robert Browne led the rushers with 118 yards on 20 carries. “We played hard. We moved the ball, it’s not like we couldn’t,” said Watson. “Kalamazoo (7-2) is a good team.

The Lions- tecord for the year was 1-8 in dual meets but this didn’t reflect two meets that they had won when it was discovered that two of their runners had course violations. The Lions were short of runners all year and seemed to lack one man in every meet. They lost four league dual meets by a difference of 3, 5, 5 and 4 points.

Ph. 852-9473 Monday - Saturday 9 to 5 The Lion cross country team was led. all year by senior Dean Hale. He capped off a great year by qualifying for the Class C Cross Country State Meet. Dean ran in the Middleville Regional on Oct. 27 and placed 17th in a strong field. Although timewise it was his worst race of the season, Dean showed a lot of determination as he held on to capture a qualifying spot at the state meet. Dean had a set as a goal for himself at the beginning of the season to qualify for the state meet on Nov. 3 in Big Rapids. This past week in practise Dean ran one of his best workouts of the year, showing that he was ready to do well at state. This past Saturday af­ ternoon Dean ran the race of his life., The course was extremely tough and the temperature was in the 30’s with a 20 mph wind. As the race started Dean slipped to the back of the pack as planned, to allow the other runners to burn themselves out. At the mile mark Dean was in 23rd place and moving up quickly. By the two mile mark he had moved up to 17th place and then passed a group of four runners on a major hill. In the next mile Dean ran down several more runners as he displayed his best finishing kick of the year. For his efforts Dean was awarded a medal for his high finish. This run was especially satisfying to Dean as he defeated a league runner from Olivet who had beat him three times during the year. All of us should be proud of Dean Hale as he had a great year for Maple Valley. Nashville 4th & 5th graders down Hastings, 8-0, for 5-1-1 record The Nashville fourth and fifth grade football team completed their regular season games on Oct. 20 with an 8-0 victory over Hastings. The game with Hastings was a hard fought defensive battle with Nashville scoring in the last minute of play. The team then accepted an invitation to play a special game at Bellevue, Oct. 27. This game also was a defensive struggle, played on a very’ muday field. However, Nashville was able to score in both halves of play and came away with a, 14-0 victory. That gave the team a final record of 5-1-1 with Nashville scoring 116 points this season and allowing only 12 points to be scored against them. We congratulate the players: Scott Armour, Brian Brandt, Kevin Burd, Matt Carpenter, Tom Dunham, Tony Eye, Tim Ferrier, Derek Morawski, Travis Norton, Shawn Redman, David -Reynolds, Tim Schilz, Chris Varney, Joel Butler, Dan Finkler, Greg Garn, Nick Grinage, Tony Hansen, Ricky Little, Kyle Neff, Ty Petrie, Mike Rollins, and Jeremy Smith.

The positions were to be filled that evening. Dear Electorate of the Village of Vermontville: I have regretfully sumbitted my resignation as village clerk of Vermontville. Due to an unex­ pected change in circumstances, it is necessary that my time be available for other concerns.

How many keys are on display at Nashville Hard­ ware and Sporting Goods, Inc.? It’ll be worth the effort to go down and try to count the keys because the lucky person who guesses the right number will win a $25 gift certificate. That’s just one example of . the nice prizes that a total of 16-Nashville businesses are offering in this year’s edition of the annual “Holiday Count Contest” which begins today. The contest, sponsored by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, will conclude on Tuesday, Nov. 20 — two days before Thanksgiving — so hurry down to all the par- Brumm ready to retire after 31 years as Castleton treasurer By Shelly Sulser Geneva Brumm has been Castleton Township’s treasurer for 31 years, but on Nov. 20, she plans to retire from the job. “It’s time to quit,” Mrs. Brumm simply says. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t enjoyed her job over the years. “I’ve always had a love for bookwork,” she said, and her involvement in public service clearly proves it. Mrs. Brumm is also retiring from the jobs of secretary and treasurer of the Maple Syrup association, treasurer of the Nashville Area United Fund and the Nashville, Maple Grove, and Castleton Fire Board and Ambulance Board. Before becoming township treasurer in 1953, Mrs. Brumm kept the books for the family farm, ‘ ‘I have always liked math,” she said. Mrs. Brumm, who was Geveva Divine before marrying Nelson Brumm in 1928, graduated from Nash­ ville High School in 1923. “I never took bookkeeping classes in school or went to college,” she said. “I just learned it from doing it.” A treasurer’s job isn’t only keeping records. It also involves collecting propery taxes. Mrs. Brumm ex­ plained that when she took the treasurer’s post, tax receipts and property descriptions had to be written out by hand. “At that time there were six or seven hundred properties to Geneve Brumm will retire from the job of Castleton township treasurer when her term expires, Nov. 20. (Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) handle,” said Mrs. Brumm. Now, there are about 1,600 properties in the township, apd the tax receipts and property descriptions are printed. “All we have to do now is type in the numbers. It’s easy,” Mrs. Brumm said. In her early days as township treasurer, town­ ship elections were held every year. After a while, it was changed to every two years, then four, and back to two. “They didn’t want anyone riding in on the President’s coattails,” explained Mrs. Brumm of the reason for reverting back to two year terms. Now, of course, township elections are every four years, and according to Brumm, they “have been for a while.” Before her marriage 55­ years ago, Mrs. Brumm taught school for four-years. Later, she and husband Nelson managed an A&P grocery store, owned and operated the Nashville Dairy company, and a Nashville clothing store. The Brumms, who reside at 313 Center Court Rd., have three daughters, eight grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. Their daughter, Annella Parker, lives in Saline, Michigan, while Shirlie Augustine and Janice Johnson live in the Nashville area. Mrs. Brumm plans to serve as “deputy” treasurer, to help the new treasurer, Loretta Pixley, learn the ropes. Mrs Brumm said that being treasurer is not easy. “It’s a job!” Being active in community service keeps a person feeling and looking young, according to Mrs. Brumm who is 79-years old. She also enjoys, doing needlecraft work and attending Lions Club meetings with her husband who was recently made a life member of the Nashville Lions Club. ticipating stores and submit your guess.

Godbey to serve as township trustees, over Democrat Bernard Hoffman with 736 and 789 votes respectively to Hoff­ man’s 401.

Seventeen years later the mill was converted into a woodworking shop by local businessman-inventor Will Shields, then in 1914 it became the first home of the newly-formed Farmer's Cooperative Creamery. The structure still stands behind the cement block house Shields com­ menced building in 1902 at 131 S. State Street.

(Note: Conley later resigned his post after the officials county “wrestled with the problem half a day” and sent it back to the local board, which opted for dismissal by a “clear vote” on Nov. 20.

(Maple Valley News photos by Shelly Sulser) April Kerby constructed a model of Swedish houses for her history class. BY Shelly Sulser When students in Liz VanderMolen’s seventh grade English classes are assigned homework, it’s not always reading and writing that are involved. Have you ever heard of “building” a book report rather than writing one? VanderMolen, a teacher at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School, instructed her students to choose a book to read and then build a model of something related to the subject of the book. “This is something that my classes do every year,” explained VanderMolen One example of the students’ work this year was a windmill built by Mike Slayton. He earned an “A” on the windmill project which he built after reading a book called “Windmill Power.” The English classes weren’t the only ones to get in on the creative con­ struction projects. Mrs. Martin’s seventh grade history classes made small scale models of scenes that were a part of Michigan history. For instance, April Kerby built a small scene of Swedish houses that were located in Michigan when the Pennsylvania Dutch located in this state. Alicia Krebs built an Indian settlement complete with tee pees, a pond, and a warrior on top his trusty steed.

Continued on Page 9 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 13, 1984 — Page 7 By Ernest Nash^ State Representative A winning future coalition Weary of the liberal tax and spend philisophy, Michigan voters en­ thusiastically voted for fiscal responsibility last week by sending another six Republicans to the Michigan House for the 1985-86 session. The election was con­ sidered by many to be a referendum on the 38 percent income tax increase passed in 1983 and the 12.8 percent budget increase that swiftly followed. The House Republicans unanimously voted against the tax hike and vigorously campaigned for a tax rollback throughout 1984. I voted against the tax saying it was too much for too long. The projected surplus and the recent election prove that Republicans made the right choice and that many Michigan voters agree. Every Republican in­ cumbent who voted against the tax was re-elected. The Republican gains mean we’ll have 52 seats in the 110-member body. Three of the new seats came from historically Democratic Macomb County where anti­ tax sentiment was high. In six other races, Democrat incumbents barely remained in office - with margins of less than 1,000 votes. It’s significant to note the shifting of allegiances in this year’s election. Rank and file blue-collar membership voted heavily Republican as Aging office rep available to speak A representative of the Tri-County Office on Aging, Senior Employment and Training Service (S.E.T.S.) will be available to speak withEaton County residents, 55 years and older, who are seeking employment.

This change indicates that the stage has been set for a political and philosophical realignment of the Michigan House. Republicans are in a much stronger position to influence public policy by creating a “working majority” with conservative House Democrats. Republicans are hoping for a more bipartisan approach in the coming session. With a stronger voice in legislative matters, I hope our caucus can make significant im­ provements in education, economic development, and additional tax reform. I trust our Democrat colleagues will allow more debate on the House floor on these im­ portant issues and together we can forge a new era of prosperity for Michigan. I would like to thank everyone who supported me in my re-election bid and I pledge to you that during the coming session I will do everything I can to keep Michigan on the road to recovery.

Main, Vermontville Call: 726-0257 The Nashville Village Council Thursday heard a suggestion that a tax should be levied to help maintain Lakeview Cemetery, but no action was taken on the matter. George Frith of the Nash­ ville water and sewage plant told the council that revenue is needed for Lakeview Cemetery which is owned and maintained by the village of Nashville. He suggested that the council should request a one-quarter mill tax increase for this purpose because revenues from ^ot sales an^ burials are not sufficient to maintain the cemetery which currently costs $10,000 per year to operate and main­ tain. In other business: —Frith reported the progress of tree planting in town? Most trees, including pines and maples, have been planted, with about 12 left to go before the project is completed. —Carl Tobias brought to the attention of the council the need to adopt state required changes in the city’s zoning ordinance. The council agreed to hold a 7 Election, continued for the ambulance service would have been added to the already existing one quarter mill, making a one half mill provision for the service. According to Castleton Township Clerk Sharon Bishop, the one-quarter renewal will not expire until after the tax collection of 1985 and the board plans to ask voters to reconsider the proposal, along with a quarter-mill increase, at a future election. She said a one-half mill tax for the ambulance would cost taxpayers 25-cents per $1,000 of their property’s State Equalized Valuation (SEV). As an example, she noted that a $30,000 home with an SEV of $15,000 would be taxed $3.75 for the am­ bulance millage. ACTION-ADS CUSTOM WELDING at Jerry’s Rent-A-Bay.

Sample soils, apply lime now for next year'? crops It’s not too early to start soil sampling for fertilizer recommendations for 1985, says Roger A. Betz, Ex­ tension Agricultural Agent. 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 next year’s row crops can be taken now and anytime until planting in Jane Thrun reclaimed her seat as Vermontville the spring.

You have until the end of the year to make your tax moves. The Michigan Association of CPAs says there are some new twists this year to yearend tax planning; new rules on deadlines for Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and on deducting for medicine, plus a larger deduction for those non­ itemized charitable con­ tributions. IRAs, which have become America’s favorite way of sheltering income from taxation, are still attractive. One . change removes a popular feature: taxpayers may no longer delay making IRA contributions. Under last year’s IRS regulations, a taxpayer could file Form 4868 by April 15 for an automatic fourmonth extension. The tax­ payer then had extra time to make the maximum $2,000 IRA contribution. But now, an IRA contribution made after your 1984 tax filing deadline must be deducted from your 1985 return. Smart taxpayers plan now to have their IRA contributions ready. Self-employed persons who qualify for Keogh ac­ counts, another retirement plan, must also take money- *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 maximum that can be placed in a Keogh was boosted to 25 percent of earned income. The maximum con­ tribution is $30,000. Although you can contribute to an existing Keogh until the tax filing deadline (with ex­ tensions allowable), new Keogh accounts must be opened before January 1. Taxpayers who do not itemize will be pleased to see the new short form; it permits a larger deduction for contributions to their favorite charity in 1984. Last year, someone who did not itemize deductions was entitled to a maximum deduction of $25 if they donated $100 to a charitable organization. Twenty-three million returns listed that deduction. This year, those not itemizing may take up to a $75 deduction if they donate $300 to charity before January 1. Keep in mind, however, that in 1985 charitable deductions that are not itemized will be even more valuable. Then, half of a charitable contribution can be deducted with no dollar IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of Doris L. Moore, who passed away one year ago, on Nov. 15, 1983.

YOU MAY EXPERIENCE RUSTY WATER. THE NASHVILLE WATER DEPARTMENT Turkey talk line available to cooks limit on its size. Medical expense deduc­ tions will change slightly and if you qualify for that deduction, money-saving steps should be taken before the year-end. Medical expenses can be deducted only if they exceed five percent of adjusted gross income. For example, if you report an adjusted gross income of $20,000, you can deduct medical expenses that are above the $1,000. That’s not new. What is new is that you can now include the cost of unreimbursed prescription drugs and insulin when you add up medical expenses. Last year, medicines were only deductible in excess of one percent of income. To make the most of the new rule you may want to buy — before year-end — those medicines you would purchase early next year. Another twist in year-end tax planning requires quick action by the self-employed who have been planning to use the income averaging method to calculate taxes. If you have been making estimated tax payments, based on the income averaging formula in force before the tax law was ratified, you may find your quarterly payments are no longer adequate. Under the new rules, some taxpayers are disqualified from income averaging. Consequently they will owe more tax than they anticipated. Although nothing can be done about underpayments for previous quarters, there’s time to increase your payment in this last quarter. by Mona J. Ellard, Extension Home Economist Last year, before any fowl felonies or kitchen capers could be committed, American’s holiday cooks made a call for help.

Plan now for weed control Farmers can improve cropland weed control by mapping trouble spots during or after fall harvest. The easiest way to map weed growth during harvest operations is to keep clip­ board in the harvesting unit and note the kinds of weeds by location in the field, suggests Roger A. Betz, Extension Agricultural Agent. If you’re not sure what kind of weed you’re seeing, get assistance in making a postitive identification. Then, after the fields have been mapped, take time to go over the data and con­ sider a variety of strategies that will effectively control weeds and possibly reduce herbicide costs. Ifyou find perennial weeds in certain parts of the field, timely spot treatments with the appropriate herbicides may be the most economical approach. Roundup applied to quackgrass now will provide good control for next year’s cropping season. Among the more troublesome annuals to control are velvetleaf, ragweed, jimsonweed and cocklebur, but there is no point in trying to do anything about annual weed control this fall. Another way to help control weeds is to plant soybeans solid rather than row-seeding them next year. Many weeds are not shade tolerant. Solid seeding will provide maximum shading in the field and may improve weed control. The narrow rows that go with soybean solid seeding eliminate the option of cultivation, of course. Knowing what your weed problems are can help you decide whether solid seeding is appropriate. One of the best ways to maintain weed control but reduce herbicide costs is to retain the services of a weed scouting program or become NOTICE FARMERS... trained in the skill at MSU. A good scouting program can trim pesticide costs and help identify pest problems, including weeds, before they get out pf hand or become inordinately expensive to solve.,^ j An advantage of a hired scout is the timeliness of his or her field visits and NOPLA's No dump or drop charges.

The board made Its decision to hire the extra teacher after hearing a recommendation from Principal Howard Yost and listening to comments from concerned parents who attended the board meeting. Yost made the recom­ mendation in an effort to reduce the sizes of the two existing fifth grade classes taught by Pauline Hunt and Manuel Smith. Those classes currently have 30 and 31 students in each room. According to concerned parents attending the meeting, their childrens’ grades as well as emotions have suffered because they don’t receive sufficient at­ tention in the classroom because of the over­ crowding. “These kids are hurting,” said parent Sue Dunham. Dunham and nine other parents have taken on the A new fifth grade teacher will be hired to alleviate the problem of overcrowding in the two fifth grade classes at Kellogg school. voluntary chores of grading papers, among other tasks, in order to help Hunt with the extra work load brought on by too many students, Dunham said. “We’ve bent over backwards to help her (Hunt),” she added. The graded papers, claimed Dunham, contained many failures which in­ dicated to her that “something is really wrong,” and the children have become “worried and turned off to school.” Before the board decided to hire the third teacher, the option was raised to possibly install teacher aids in the rooms to help give students personal attention and help with discipline. This idea, according to some parents, was not adequate, because the aid would only be in the room two hours each day which they feel is not enough. Parent Monte Allen said that when he met with Hunt at the recent parent-teacher conference, “very little was discussed about my child...she talked mostly about the discipline problem.” “We’re after the benefit of the children...we’ve waited to long to bring it (the problem) to this point,” said Allen. Although the board did agree to hire a third theacher who will be on the job at the end of the grading period tomorrow, no definite decision was made as to where the class would meet. Ybst suggested the use of the portable classroom located at Fuller school. There will be a special board meeting tonight at 7 p.m. to discuss sizes of the two fourth and two fifth grade classrooms. The board also discussed the content of contracts for the five school ad­ ministrators which are up for renewal in 1985. The board approved the language of the contracts based upon an index factor. Supertendent Carroll Wolff is not on the index factor but will receive the five-percent salary increase for the 1985­ 86 year and five-percent for the 1986-87 year. A com­ mittee consisting of Dale Ossenheimer, Wayne Cogswell, and LeRoy Sleeper was set up to review the contract terms and the recommendations of the administrators before making a final descision. Their recommendations will be made at the December meeting. K In other business, Superintendent Carroll Wolff reported that at the recent parent-teacher conferences, attendance was good and it was the “best turn-out so far.” The board adopted a resolution stating its ac­ ceptance of the development of a Gifted and Talented program under section 47 of the state aid act. Presenters Pat Green and Jim McKibben explained that the “cluster approach” would be used to work with gifted and talented students. The students would be placed in a room together and taught as a group. A “model cluster” would operate for three years, starting small and later expanding to include all grades, K-12. A gas pump will be pur­ chased at a cost estimated at $300, and installed in Ver­ montville at the sight of the empty 1,000 gallon un­ derground tank. It will be used to pump diesel fuel into the school buses in Ver­ montville, rather than having the buses travel to Nashville to attain fuel, which has been done in the past.

They invited their Indian friends who arrived, 90 strong, carrying five deer. The food was welcome, the feast lasted for three days. That sense of sharing and of-giving, continues to this day. It is called Thanksgiving. We remember the courage, bravery and determination of our forefathers who settled on the rockbound coast of the Atlantic and pushed across the new country, regardless of dangers. We honor their memory at Thanksgiving time.

Nathville, Tuesday, November 20. 1984 — Page 2 Nashville New Blaze (range hats and jackets seemed to be the uniform of the day in Nash-ville last Thursday, as many local hunters participated in opening day of firearm deer-hunting season. Some area residents went north to pursue the elusive beast but several stayed in this area to seek trophies in our rural regions. A number of those Nimrods were seen flocking to local eateries at lunchtime. Watching the Discovery space shuttle take off from Cape Canaveral was just one of the highlights of a twoweek trip to Florida recently enjoyed by Mrs. Mary Castelein of Nashville. She witnessed the launch from the front porch at the Orlando home of George and Barbara Castelein, whom she was visiting. The purpose of Mary’s trip south was to help celebrate the 86th birthday on November 1 of her father-in-law, Melvin Dewey Castelein, a former Nashville resident. He lives at Clearwater with a daughter, Dorothea Warren. Mary spent four days with them, then went to the George Castelein home for the remainder of her stay. Returning to Lansing’s Capitol City airport, Mary was greeted by her daughter-in-law, Joan McCallum, of Califon, New Jersey, who was in Michigan visiting her parents, the Ralph Basers of Lansing. On Saturday evening, Mrs. Castelein attended a dinner in honor of the 55th wedding anniversary of Ralph and Bessie Baser. The following day she accompanied her son and his wife, Dick and Joan McCallum, to White Cloud to meet their new grandson, four-week-old Richard Floyd,, son of Richard and Ann McCallum. The baby is Mary’s ninth great-grandchild. Leo and Grace Marisch of Nashville are pleased to announce the arrival of a grandson new born November 13th to Jerry and Twilla Gibbons of Dowling.

Right-To-Life launches life Awareness Campaign’ by hosting auction and potluck The Maple Valley Right to Life organization is gearing up to launch a “Life Awareness Campaign” which it hopes will enlighten the community on the “reality surrounding the important and pressing issue of preserving the life of the unborn,” The highlight of the campaign will be a fun-style auction and potluck dinner which begins at 6:30 p.m: Tuesday, Nov. 27 at the Nashville Community Building. Each person who attends is asked to bring a wrapped gift for the auction. Bidders will not know what they are bidding for when the wrapped gifts go on the auction block. The event is planned for fun and fellowship, said Gladys Vogel. The public is invited to attend and those who plan to be there are asked to call 852­ 9188 or 852-0706 for more information. “The gross lack, of knowledge in which the public has been kept is a major concern that Maple Valley Right to Life will endeavor to deal with...‘By committing ourselves to help raise consciousness and to awaken the apathetic to the prevalent ‘death mentality’ iin order to remove this undesirable trend in our society,”’ according to a press release from the group. “Four thousand innocent children are being destroyed daily...silently. Without due process of law...Yet we would not bury those who are doubtfully dead, we’d work frantically to help unearth miners or a lost child in the mountains, etc. “The First International Conference on Abortion, held in Washington D.C. in Oc­ tober, 1967 brought together authorities from around the world in the field of medicine, law, ethics and social sciences. After several days of considering they came to the conclusion that, from a scientific point of view the abortion debate must proceed on the assumption that ‘this is human life,”’ said the release. Area persons who are interested to work on behalf of the unborn are invited to attend monthly meetings “and we’ll share with you how you can make a dif­ ference,” said a spokesperson from the group. There is no way we can spare all little children from the death of a parent. But what adults do, or fail to do, may have great impact on the child's adjustment and happiness now and in later years. The surviving parent may be helped with a sensitive book, "When My Mommy Died: A Child's .View of Death", by Janice Hammond, PhD - Cranbrook Publ., Ann Arbor, Mi.

Nashville. Tuesday, November 20. 1984 — Page 4 Colorful tales of deer hunting seasons filled newspapers of long ago— by Susan Hinckley (Author’s note: Portions of the following account first appeared as a Memories of the Past published Nov. 11, 1980.) “The Michigan Central Railroad is advertising special low rates for hunters to all points in Michigan,” announced The Nashville News on October 7, 1898. Soon, many Nashville area Nimrods would be making their annual trek north in search of deer. Most would travel to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula by train, and ship their trophies home via rail. This practice continued to be popular well into the 20th century. “Nashville hunters are returning home,” advised The News in late November 1926, “and there is scarcely a morning but what a deer arrives at the express office. “About the biggest and finest yet was a huge 12-point buck that came Tuesday morning belonging to Mr. Housler.” Colorful tales of yearly hunting expeditions filled November pages of The News, almost from its in- ception in 1873. “Theodore C. Downing writes from the north that he and the other five hunters in his party are camped 20 miles from Roscommon,” noted The News in early November 1877. “They already have killed nine deer, a bear and a cub. Theo, had the honor of killing the bear, but not until it had fatally injured his hunting dog and very nearly reached the hunter.” ' Some game generally was consumed in camp, but the majority of it was sent home. Once in a while, the return brought a real surprise. “The Nashville hunting party returned Saturday from the north, having ac­ counted for 16 deer,” reported The News on December 2, 1898. “Charles Scheldt brought home a live fawn, which has attracted considerable in­ terest.” Deer were a bit of a novelty in this locale at that time, as evidenced by this News report of December 1, 1904: “Deer, wtuch once were plentiful in these parts but have become a rarity in recent years, may be coming back. George and Homer Ayers saw one last week on the Daniel Jackson farm in Maple Grove.” The success or failure of seasonal expeditions by local hunters was meticulously noted in The News, with particular attention paid to a group of prominent citizens who comprised Nashville’s “hunting party”. In 1900, for example, this group brought back 14 deer. Of those, according to a News account, “Joe C. Baker shot five; Charles M. Putnam, three; Henry Roe, three; Harrison Freemire, two; and Charles J. Scheidt, one.” The “hunting party” often provided adventurous tales for Nashville News readers, such as this report of December 4, 1903: “During their second week (in camp) one of the party, Rant Mayo, became lost about 12 miles west of Munising. He finally reached another camp, where were hee stayed saye two wo days, ays, during which his companions had about given him up for dead.” Upon occasion however, the local Nimrods preferred Local businessmen Charles J. Scheidt, Henry Roe and Charles Putnam were members of Nashville's "hunting party," a group of 19th century Nimrods who traveled north each November in search of deer, since the animals were a local rarity then. In fact, a live fawn brought home by Scheidt in 1898 attracted considerable interest in the village. Sighting of a deer on a Maple Grove Township farm in December 1904 warranted special mention in The Nashville News. Nashville's Michigan Central railroad station was a lively place in deer hunting season, as sportsmen invaded Michigan's upper wilds by train and shipped their trophies home via rail. In a successful season scarcely a day went by without a carcass arriving at the local express office in the freight depot (at right) to be claimed by a returning hunter. The 1904 passenger station is in center of photo. Loads of deer carcasses are piled high near the American Express office at the Mackinaw City depot in this 1913 photo by Edwin Scott. A penciled inscription on the back of the picture notes that "two thousand deer were slaughtered and shipped in 1913." The photo was in the effects of the late John and Ella (Denton) Tay­ lor of Nashville. to remain silent about their exploits. “The Nashville hunting party returned Tuesday from their annual invasion of the wilds of the Upper Peninsula,” observed The News on November 28, 1907. “The members of the party are not telling anything about it, but it is said authoritatively that they failed to bring down a single deer.” By the mid-1920s, stories of local deer hunters’ ad­ ventures in the north wood were still of interest to readers back home. “Cards from the Bera hunting party report 16 in­ ches of snow in the Upper Peninsula,” noted The News on November 18, 1926. “They had to leave their truck at Kenton and haul their supplies the rest of the way on sleighs.” (According to a News story a week earlier, W.B. and Theo Bera, Otis Gokay, E. J. Rasey and J. W. Howard comprised the party that had left by truck on November 9 for the north woods.) With the advent of the auto, more and more Nash­ ville people traveled north for the annual hunt. And the number of trophies in­ creased. On December 20, 1928, The News noted that the Con­ servation Dept, reported 5,255 deer had been brought across the Straits that year, representing roughly onehalf the kill throughout the state. Two local hunters who had gone across the Straits to Ontonagon County in 1928 and who each brought back a fine large deer were Glenn and Floyd White. As interest in the sport increased, the number of licenses issued to area hunters became a popular News topic, as seen in this 1929 report: “County Clerk Himm reports he has issued 139 deer hunting licenses to Barry County residents, and likely will issue enough more to account for 150 hunters from the county. The season will open November 15.” Nashville folks buying hunting licenses found their names published in the local newspaper well into the 1940s. And accounts of the comings and goings of Nash­ ville hunters continued to make interesting copy for the local press. From the 1939 season: “Among local deer hunters who already have left for the north are Gail Lykins and his sons, Charles and Sherman; Dr. F.G. Pultz; Adolph Douse, Jr.; Floyd and Glenn White; Ralph Olin and his brother H. C. Olin of Detroit...

The closed-carriage is one of three new models being introduced to the line of horse-drawn buggies built by Herb and Roxie Andler and family under the name of Justin Carriages. According to Andler, a Closed Coach will be the new highlight of New York’s Central Park. The Closed Coach will contain a heater underneath the seat to provide warmth for passengers on cold wintery days. “People in the north need something like this so it can be used all year round,” he said. Kerosene lanterns are another nice feature of the Closed Coach. A “carriage without wheels” — a sleigh — is also new to the line of old fashioned transportation. One sleigh has already beeir made and delivered to a man in Minnesota who plans to present it to his wife as a Christmas present. Andler is especially fond of the third addition to the carriages he offers, called the Drop Front Phaeton. He recently refurbished one for a customer, and that’s when he decided he would like to build them. “I asked the man (who owns the buggy) if I could make a mold of it. He said he didn’t care, so I did,” said Andler. Justin Carriages are made in a barn on the Andlers’ property at 5299 Guy Road. The buggies are made completely from scratch, with fiberglass bodies, hand stitched cushion covers, and the greatest of care. Of her husband, Roxie Andler says, “Herb is a perfectionist; if one of the carriages gets bumped and gets scratched, he throws a fit.” This can probably be attributed as the reason that they have had no complaints from customers. Mrs. Andler says they try to please the customers as best they can. After the family has pitched in to fill orders, Andler will'go a step further to in­ sure the safety of buggies when delivered — he delivers them himself, most of the time. Yesterday, Andler left for Katy, Texas to deliver a Visa-Vis, a carriage with two seats facing each other, to a recently completed $17 million horse farm called the Great Southwestern Equestrian Center. When he returns, his travelling will not have ended, for he will be making a second trip, to San Antonio. Other deliveries are handled through a freight company. “We’ve had orders from Jamaica, Japan, London, Canada. People see our ad in the national Western Hor­ seman magazine,” said Roxie.

TAX AMNESTY BILLS INTRODUCED - Legislation has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives that would provide a three-month amnesty period for payment of back taxes due the state. The amnesty would allow any person or business, if they are not presently under investigation or court action to pay past due income, sales or single business taxes without fear of penalty or criminal action. The Republican sponsor of the bill .estimates that $100 million could be collected under the new program, based on results of a similar tax amnesty program already operating in Massachusetts.

Ernest Nash Transportation study emphasizes preservation, not construction A recent study by state transportation officials shows that in the next ten years there will be a major gap between revenues and needs and that preservation of Michigan’s highway system should be emphasized rather than new construction. Prepared by the 15member Transportation Needs Study, the report says that $27.6 billion will be needed to meet the basic needs of highways, roads, streets, bus systems, air­ ports and other forms of transportation in the next decade. Revenues will fall $5 billion short of that figure; $12 billion when inflation is figured into the projections. State Transportation Director James Pitz has made no recommendation on revenue measures, and he is not recommending a tax increase at this time. He said that a special tax force will consider the issue of how to raise additional funds. The committee found 80 percent of the state’s needs, or $22.2 billion, are for high- The Saving Place SUNDAY, NOV. 25th FROM 5 TO 8 P.M. < Many unadvertised specials!

Bus, rail, air and water passenger services account for 17 percent and freight services the remaining three percent. With the new emphasis on preservation and main­ tenance, the committee said 70 percent of the total should be spent on preserving existing services and systems, $5 billion on im­ proving them and $2.29 billion building new ones. In the next few years, there are a myriad of critical issues facing legislators and transportation officials. By 1987, the state may not have enough money left over after fulfilling highway project committments to match the $4.7 billion in estimated federal revenues available. A year later we may not have enough money to match or meet committed costs. Also, in 1986, federal assistance for operating costs ofpublic transit system is to be phased out. This means we’ll have to reassess our level of services or reverse policy. We’ve got a lot of work cut out for us on the road to recovery. Michigan’s financial health is tied to a well-run transportation system and economic prosperity depends on us preserving this valuable resource. Parole,. Early Release Programs Targets of Study On Oct. 29, an East Lan­ sing police officer and a suburban housewife were shot and killed. Their ac­ cused killers are a parole violator and an escapee from a half-way house. Because the two people charged with the murders were both under the jurisdiction of the Michigan Department of Corrections at the time of the murders, a special investigative panel of the House Corrections Committee has been created to, investigate the serious public safety implications that have developed following these two shootings. The parole violator was originally sentenced to a minimum of ten years in prison for a 1976 murder conviction, but was released in seven years. His original sentence was sharply reduced because of Michigan’s Prison Over­ crowding Emergency Powers Act. The Act goes into effect every time our prisons become over­ crowded, and the Act calls for a 90-day reduction of a prisoner’s minimum sen­ tence. Since 1980, the act has gone into effect a total of nine times. Consequently, the parole violator and 810 days subtracted from his original 10 year minimum sentence. The escapee, on the other hand. served three months of a jtwo-and-one-half year sentence before she was moved to a half-way house,again because of prison overcrowding. She then simply walked away from a half-way house where she had been finishing the remainder of her term. At the present time, more than two years have been taken from the minimum sentences of nearly every prison inmate in Michigan. CONTINUED on page 15— �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Tuesday, November 20, 1984 — Page 15 State Yule Tree crop ample this year Favorable growing conditions this past year have contributed to what will be a good Christmas tree crop for the holiday season. “The combination of growers continaully in­ creasing the size of their plantations and this year’s favorable weather means that consuiners can choose form a wide selection of high quality trees,” says Mel Koelling, Michigan State University Extension Ser­ vice forestry Specialist. According to Koelling and Harvey Koop, president of the Michigan Christmas Tree Growers Association, prices for Christmas trees this year will be about the same as last year’s prices. The harvest of the crop, generally valued at more than $30 million, will begin within a few weeks. About 70 percent of the four million trees harvested will be shipped to out-of-state markets, many in the eastern and southern parts of the country. The trees, which are cut in the late fall and baled to help protect the braches, will be appearing in markets around Thanksgiving. Michigan began producing plantation-grown Christmas trees in the early 1940’s, and today the state is considered the nation’s center for quality Christmas tree production, Koelling says. Koop says that Michigan’s 750 to 900 growers produce between 60 million and 70 million trees on about 65,000 acres in plantation production. Of these trees, nearly 80 percent are Scotch pine, a species popular because of its rapid growth and good response to plantation culture. Blue and white spruce account for another 10 percent of the crop. The remaining 10 percent con­ sists of Douglas fir and other species.

They will also study the decision­ making procedures relating to those prisoners released to half-way houses.

Broadway, Hastings, Mich. 49058 P.O. Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. H3-No. 20 —Tuesday, November 27, 1984 Christiansen thanked for his tree-planting help in Nashville By Shelly Sulser Harold Christiansen recently received a letter from the village of Nashville thanking him for the help he provided to plant some 50trees around town. The letter, from Village Clerk Susan Corkwell, called a Christiansen “kind, dedicated, hard-working man...” Christiansen, who is 81 years old, has been “setting” trees in town for fourteen years, beginning in 1970. “One year, I set some 75-80 trees,” he said, because about 50 of them had gotten destroyed on Halloween and many had to be replaced. Christiansen said this year’s crop of trees came from the Harbor Day Foundation in the West, and consisted of Maples, Pines and Mountain Ash, among others. Since 1970 when he was village president, main­ tenance of Nashville’s Putnam Park and the Community Center has been a special concern and a place where Christiansen has volunteered many hours to keep it neat and tidy. “I suggested we upgrade the park (back then),” he said. This resulted in the installation of the two tennis courts, 12 horseshoe courts, shuffle board courts and the picnic shelter. “I’d like to putin volleyball courts too,” he said. For years, before the state provided the heavy equip­ ment for the purpose, Christiansen raked all the leaves in the park by hand. “Now I don’t have to do that so much anymore,” he said. “Its been a pleasure,” Christiansen said of serving the community. It was also Christiansen’s suggestion to paint the murals on the interior walls of the community building, located near the park. The building, in the past, was used for the recycling of paper and other recyclable materials until five years ago. As a surprise to the man who has been a valuable community asset, a portrait of Christiansen gathering sap from maple trees highlights an interior wall devoted to a maple syrup theme. This, as well as the other walls featuring history of Nashville, was painted by Dale Ann Morawski. Christiansen, who serves as president of the Maple Syrup Association, explained that all the volunteers of the organization donate their hourly wage to community organizations. The money that Christiansen earns goes to the purchasing of the village trees, and the maintenence of the park. “It costs about $2,000 a year to maintain the park,” he said. “Back in 1968-69, the com­ munity held a centennial to raise money to upgrade the park. We got $13,000 from the state $6,000 from the cen­ tennial, so we got $19,000 that was used for the park.” Before moving to Nash­ ville in 1952, Christiansen worked as a farmer until he sold the farm in 1947. He then worked at a grain elevator in Bellevue and later at an Charlton Park to celebrate 'Of Christmas Past' Enjoy the spirit and tradition “Of Christmas Past ...” at Historic Charlton Park Village and Museum in Barry County. Imagine Christmas as it was nearly 100 years ago when families gathered in the parlor to read Moore’s “A Visit from St. Nicholas” and Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”; and when working on presents late at night and behind closed doors, and decorating the tree were major events. On Dec. 8-9 and again on Dec. 15-16, history comes to life with holiday activities, beginning at noon and ending at 5 p.m. each afternoon. Admission is $2 for adults, 50 cents for students aged 5-15, and free for children under five. Like thejfamily at the turnof-the-century, visitors will be able to participate in this look at another era by helping to decorate the tree with their hand-dipped candles, ornaments, and popcorn and cranberries that they’ve strung. Vounteer staff members will be available to provide supervision and instructioa Homemade cookies, coffee, and hot mulled cider will be served in the town’s residences and shops. In addition, several crafts, such as making herb wreaths and tole painting, will be demonstrated. And each day of the celebration, a differnt tree and house will be decorated by visitors and staff. For more information, call (616) 945-3775. Historic Charlton Park Village and Museum is located just north of M-79 between Nashville and Hastings. elevator in Kalamazoo. After being elected to the office of village president twice, he served a total of seven years in that position until his second term expired in 1981. Christiansen also served as unit commissioner for area boy scout troups and still keeps involved. He is a member of the Nashville Lions Club too. Many honors have' been bestowed upon Christiansen due to his community in­ volvement over the years, including being named grand marshal of the Har­ vest Festival parade several years ago. He has been featured in newspaper ar­ ticles in the Maple Valley News, a Detroit newspaper, and a Lansing paper. Channel 8’s Dick Evans also visited Christiansen for a TV segment of “On the Michigan Road.” George Frith of the Nash­ ville Village Council seems to sum up the residents’ feelings about Christiansen when he said: Christiansen is “an asset to the com­ munity. He’s just a real jewel.” Holiday potluck planned Dec. 1 Anyone interested in joining 4-H is invited to at­ tend a Christmas pot-luck, Dec. 1,6 p.m. inKalamo.

Lions District Governor visits local club The Nashville chapter of the Lions Club received a visit from the District Governor, Granville B. Cutler of the International Association of Lions Clubs on Nov. 19 at the Catholic Hall in Nashville. Governor Cutler is the 1984-85 executive officer of district Il-C-1, which in­ cludes the six counties of Muskegon, Kent, Ottawa, Ionia, Allegan and Barry. This district has 56 clubs with a total of over 2,100 members. Lions international is the largest service organization in the world. They are best known for their projects for District Lion Governor Granville Cutler speaks to the Nashville Lions Club. (Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) the blind, the visually handicapped and the deaf, and individual Lions clubs sponsor numerous special projects in their communities. Governor Cutler was born in Mattoon, Illinois, and moved to Benton Harbor at an early age. He graduated from Benton Harbor High School, and was awarded a bachelor of science degree from Western Mishigan university in 1942 and a master’s degree from the University of Michigan in 1949. As an educator he has served in the three Oaks, Holland, Sheridan and Plainwell school systems. He served in the United States Army during World War II as a member of the 103rd infanrty division in France, Germany, Austria and Italy, and is a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and a past post commander of the American Legion. He is also a past national commander of the All American Drum and Bugle Corps and Band Association, and is in demand as a judge at their performances. Governor Cutler joined the Three Oaks Lions Club in 1942. He was reinstated in the Sheridan Lions Club and transfered to the Plainwell Lions Club in 1957, where he has been club secretary since 1971. He served as zone chairman in 1982-83 and deputy district governor in 1983-84. He is a member of the Methodist Church and a 32nd Degree Mason. His hobbies are photography, stamp collecting and music. He and his wife, Betty, were married in 1946 and have one daughter, Mary Louise. �Nashville News assumes responsibility for yearly installation and removal of the Chamberowned decorations. Another hint of the up­ coming season was the placement last week of Santa’s house in Central Park. The gingerbread­ trimmed structure built several years ago by Lloyd and Eunice Priddy of Nash­ ville serves as local headquarters for Old Saint Nick, and boasts a bright red mailbox to receive mail addressed to the North Pole resident. Its yearly ap­ pearance in the park has brightened successive Yuletides for many local youngsters. The only thing missing from the scene is snow. Thanksgiving Day was bright and sunny with temps in the mid-40s, and the weekend was even warmer with local thermometers climbing into the high 50s on Sunday. A pre-Thanksgiving gathering at the home of Byron and Marie Clucky of Nashville’s Main Street took on a festive holiday air last week when village DPW workers strung three overhead garlands and in­ stalled some 20 lamp post decorations to mark the upcoming Christmas season This is the fourth year that Nashville has enjoyed a complete set of street trim that is unequaled by most communities its size. The local Chamber of Commerce deserves much of the credit, for the organization a few years ago began purchasing one new decoration each season, then in 1981 spearheaded a community drive for donations to complete the set. Decorating of Nashville’s Main Street for the Yuletide dates back to 1939 when several local merchants got together to stretch four garlands of evergreens and colored lights to the center of Main at Maple Street and suspended a lighted cross over the in­ tersection. Costs of the materials were footed by the village, which today Penny Supper Nashville VFW Auxiliary 8260 December 1st Chop Suey, Ham, Scalloped Potatoes Serving... 5:30 - 7:30 P.MI.

Alice Boucher and Margaret Wagner, both of Nashville, recently enjoyed an auto trip to Florida to visit the former’s mother, Mrs. Gunda Pennock, who is wintering at Bradenton. Mrs. Wagner returned home after a week but Mrs. Boucher stayed on to visit daughter Ronna Boucher at Bel Aire before flying back to Michigan. Coincidentally, she was on the same plane from Dayton, Ohio, to Lansing as were former local residents Cinda and Quentin Ward of Arlington, Texas, who were en route herefor a holiday visit with her parents, the David Murphys. Thanksgiving dinner guests at the home of Tim and Alice Boucher were Jan and Tom Bly and daughters Jeanette and Kim of Battle Creek; Ted and Cory Ohler and son Ron of Fine Lake, and Mona Ohler of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Ada Chase and Ron Boucher of Battle Creek; Mick Davis, local; , Ben Page and Ivy Rairigh, of Vermontville.

Kellogg 4th grade moved to Fuller; creates space for new 5th grade class By Shelly Sulser At a special Nov. 20 meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education, the board agreed to return the Kellogg fourth grade class to Fuller School in order to create space for the new fifth grade class to meet. Board members at a regular meeting Nov. 14 had approved hiring an extra fifth grade teacher at Kellogg to relieve crowded classroom conditions. The Kellogg fourth grade now will meet for classes in the portable classroom located at Fuller, and the board agreed to hire an additional teacher’s aid for ★ REMINDER ★ Nashville Parking Regulations For the purpose of street sweeping and snow removal no vehicles shall be parked on any village street in Nashville between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. with the exception of Main St. between Washington St. to the north and Sher­ man St. to the south which hours shall be 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. Any vehicles parked in violation of this Nashville Parking-Ordinance will be towed away at the owners expense.

According to Superin­ tendent Carroll Wolff, the additional fifth grade teacher is Mary Slag, who has been on lay-off since school began this fall. Before the decision to split the two Kellogg fifth grade classes to reduce class sizes, each room contained 30 and 31 students, with six girls and 24 boys in Pauline Hunt’s class, and 11 girls and 19 boys in-Manuel Smith’s fifth grade class. At the meeting, Wolff requested that con­ cerned parents inform him whether or not they want their child to have a new teacher. Board member Dale Ossenheimer said that moving the fourth grade will not cause any type of busing problem, because the buses all shuttle from Fuller, then to Kellogg and on to the high school. Instead of the children staying on the bus to get off at Kellogg, the fourth graders will now get off of the bus at Fuller School, where their class now meets. The board came to the agreement to return the fourth grade class to Fuller, where they had been up until this school year, after ex­ pressing their concern to disrupt the least number of students possible. Before the fourth grade move back to Fuller, there was one fourth grade class at Kellogg and one at Fuller. Now, both are at Fuller, taught by Dave Huswick and Pat Hanson. “The training and development of young pastors is a unique and challenging ministry that is an important key to the growth of the work in Benin,” says Rev.

Howell about his growingup days in Nashville. The stories were such a hit with our readers that we en­ couraged Howell to continue his writing. Today we are pleased to publish the first installment of his “third edition”. Consecutive parts will appear in this column through December. Howell, who spent most of his adult life in the South and South­ west, now lives at Tucson, Arizona, and enjoys such varied hobbies as gardening, photography, astronomy, and generally soaking up the culture of the desert area in addition to serving on a citizen’s patrol for the local sheriff’s department. In the summer of 1983 he made his first return trip to Nashville in 40 years — but he has kept in touch with his hometown via the News. Again, we are indebted to him for sharing with us these colorful memories of his youthful days here.) MEMORIES OF NASHVILLE by Guy W. Howell When I was a kid, my mother used to send me to the store for things, one of which was a gallon can of coal oil. In Alabama, where my mother was born and raised, coal oil was their name for kerosene. I reckon it still is. Well, I would go down to John Appelman’s grocery store with a gallon can. He filled itand then took a potato and jammed it down on the spout of the can to act as a stopper. It worked! I used to hang around George VanDeventer’s Auto Accessories Store, and there was another young fellow who also was there. He used to rush in, grab one of the few chairs, put it next to the wall and lean back. Well, he plastered his hair down with Vaseline, and where his head touched the wall, there was a large grease spot George got tired of the wall looking bad, so, as the wall was '/4-inch plywood, he drove some small finishing nails into it from the back. They stuck through less than a Vi inch. The next time that young fellow came in, he grabbed a chair, as usual, and reared back against the wall. When his head hit the wall, he suddenly went forward again. Jumping up, he said to George, “Why did you do that to me?” “Well,” said George, “I was just tired of that grease on the wall.” The young fellow continued to hang around the store, but he never again reared back against the wall. George used to sell electric fence chargers, and one fellow, who was a little ob­ noxious, suggested that George hook one of the chargers to a chair, and catch another of the fellows with it. “No, indeed,” George said, “I wouldn’t do that.” After the fellow left, there were a few of us in the Many of Guy Howell's memories of Nashville center around events at Nashville's school, where he is seen here as a fifth grader about 1925-26. Howell was born in Battle Creek in 1914 and after a move to Alabama his family, the Ransom Howells, settled in Nashville in 1918. His class, seen in this photo, are, (front row from left), Howard Snow, Keith Nelson, Kenneth Cross, Guy Howell, Henry Tieche, Donald store, and George said, “All right, let’s get at it and rig a chair, and when he gets back, that will be the only chair available. He was mean enough tosuggestit, so he can have a dose of his own medicine.” So the chair was rigged. Soon the boy came back and immediately jumped for the only chair, thinking he’d pulled something on everybody. George let the fellow sit there and gloat for a bit. Then he pushed the switch he had under the counter. Well, I thought the fellow would go through the ceiling! He let out a yowl and came down rubbing the seat of his trousers. “I thought you said you wouldn’t do that, George,” he said in an aggrieved voice. ‘Well,” George replied, “I wouldn’t to anyone else, but because you were mean enough to suggest we give it to someone, I figured you would be the logical one to get it.” He never made a rush for the only vacant chair in the place again. One Saturday night I was going into the Star Theater when the fire siren started. I turned and went back to the sidewalk, looked up and down, and saw a mass of flame in a building toward the north. I ran up that way and found it was George VanDeventer’s Auto Ac­ cessory Store. The fire truck and men got there right away. They laid out the hose, coupled on a two-man nozzle, and Jim Hummel grabbed the other end and ran for the hydrant. There was a man in the crowd (I don’t remember his name) who grabbed up the nozzle and ran for the building, hollering for Jim to turn on the water as quick as he could. This man put the nozzle between his legs, grabbed two of the handles, arid sprayed the fire at its base, then back and forth across the building. The two men who were supposed to handle the hose saw the fellow was doing a good job, so they went into the building and started covering things with traps. A few of us fellows went into help. When the fire was out, they asked the man who he was. He said he was from Detroit. “I’m retired now,” he said, “but I was on a hook and ladder truck for 18 years, and was Chief of No. 1 Station in Detroit for 12 years.” They tried to get him as chief of the Nashville Department, but he said he couldn’t on account of his pension. My brother Frank and I were hunting one time, when we scared up a rabbit. Frank’s beagle hound took out after that rabbit and was running it so close we couldn’t shoot at it without hitting the dog. He was running by scent and I don’t believe he ever saw that rabbit. It was running along a fence row where there were dozens of holes, but he was going so fast, and the dog was so close, that he couldn’t dodge into one of them. Finally he made a dash sideways and down into Howell, Wallace Graham.

Guy Howell, along with his chums, found a friendly haven at George VanDeventer’s Auto Accessories store on Main Street, and still recalls good-natured pranks carried out there. "Van’s" place, as it was known, was located on the site of the present-day laundromat, and is seen at extreme left in this late 1930s photo. Adjacent is the Hi-Speed station which VanDeventer took over in 1943, about 10 years after he opened his auto store. The station first was Jim Eddy's White Rose service. a hole. The dog was going so fast he went right past the hole, turned and came back and started digging, which did no good. Frank and I sat down and laughed until our sides ached. I remember a school Halloween Carnival which the students of NHS put on one year. They had various booths with items for sale. One was a fish pond. You paid your money and dropped your hook behind a screen. Then you pulled, and there was a prize on your hook. And there was bobbing for apples. And there as another adventure called “Going Down to Hades”. The school building was arranged so that as you came in the front door there was a flight of stairs. On the landing there was a door opening off to each side. If a person wanted to take the trip, a doorkeeper took the money and opened the righthand door. As soon as you stepped in, there was a long slide down a board. At the bottom there was a low opening to crawl through, with slimy things like cob­ webs hitting your face. When you stood up, there was a glowing skeleton dancing around right ahead, with wierd noises, chains rattling, moans, groans and screams. It was really ghostly, but a lot of fun, because we all knew it had been arranged by the students. One day a friend and I were walking along near an old sawmill that sat on the edge of the Thornapple River. We were in a field, a little way from the mill and the river, when we saw a place ahead of us where the ground had caved in. We took turns digging the dirt out with our hands, and we found a square tunnel that was boarded up on all four sides. Some of the boards had rotted, which had caused the cave-in. The tunnel was about two feet square. I crawled in and after a bit came to a bulkhead blocking the way. I got out and told my friend what I had found, so he went in to look, too. I say “look”, but it was too dark to see anything. After he got out, we decided to go to my house for shovels and a pry bar. My dad was home at the time, and he asked what we planned to do with the shovels. We told him, and he said, “I wouldn’t do that if I were you. There was a chemical plant near that place years ago, and they had huge vats buried un- derground to run their v'aste into. That tunnel just might lead to one of those vats, and if you got that bulkhead out of the way, you might fall in. No, you’d better give up that plan. It’s too dangerous.” We decided to take his advice, and put the shovels away. When I was a small boy, around 6 or 7 years of age, I used to go to town with my mother. One day we were in the store and I asked for some candy. She said, “No.” But I wanted candy, so I started jumping up and down and hollering for candy. My mother knew the way to cure a temper tantrum. She took hold of my arm, marched me out of the store and headed for home. We were going up Washington St., and about half a block from Main St. there was a peach tree growing along by the sidewalk. She stopped, pulled off a branch, pulled most of the leaves off it, and started switching my legs with it. I started to run ahead, out of reach of the switch, but she said, “You come back here, or you’ll get it worse when I catch up to you.” I knew I would, too, so I dropped back and she switched my legs all the way home, six blocks! I never did jump up and down for candy again. In 1919, my dad had just put a railing on the front porch of our house on Reed St. He had also painted the house. I took to running away occasionally and they had to hunt for me. My mother got tired of that, so she took a rope about 30 ft. long, tied one end around my waist and the other end to the porch railing. That settled my running away, because I couldn’t untie the knots. There was a big maple tree on the northwest comer of Gregg and Lentz streets. A friend and I climbed around in that tree a lot. We had rope wound around some of the crotches of the limbs, making places where we could lie and talk. Also, thinking nobody could see, we started smoking up in the tree. One time my mother asked me if I had been smoking. I said, “No.” “I know better,” she retorted. “The tree on the comer of Smiths looked- just like a chimney with a lot of smoke coming out of the top.” That stopped our smoking in the tree, but we had other places. I was walking along with a Continued on next page �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 27, 1984 — Page 5 Honey added to commodity distribution In December, Barry County will become “The Land of Milk and Honey”*; by way of the surplus com­ modity distribution that is. Honey is coming to this area for the first time since the government surplus commodity distributions began in January 1982 as a “one-time give-away program”. Cheese and butter will also be available as usual. The commodity distribution will be held Wednesday, Dec 5 The Community Action Agency of South Central Michigan, with the cooperation of 45 volunteer organizations, is the local distributor for this food. Last year, 875,000 pounds (437.5 tons) of cheese, butter, and milk were distributed through the CAASCM. Each time it was given out, an average of 14,000 low-income families were recipients of this food. There are seven commodities available under this program. They are pur­ chased by the government as part of the farm price sup­ port measures. Despite this mass distribution effort and Memories of the Past, continued friend one day, and he just happened to mention to his wife that I smoked a pipe. She mentioned it to my mother, not intending to be a tattletale. When I got home, Mother said, “Where is your pipe?” “In my pocket,” I replied. “Let me see it,” she said. So I took out my pipe and showed it to her. She took it and put it on the shelf in front of the clock. Well, I had another pipe, so I started using that. One evening, Dad and I were sitting at the table playing cards. Dad took my pipe off the clock shelf and filled it with some of his own tobacco. I picked it up and said, “Do you mind if I use this?” “No,” he said, so I got a match and lit it. I smoked at home from then on. My dad wrote a note to the manager of the A&P Store authorizing him to sell me pipe tobacco. Well, I still smoked on the street, too, and one day I was' leaning on the bridge rail (it was the old steel bridge) when the bowl of my pipe fell into the river. It had been a little loose on the stem for some time, but I hadn’t done anything about it. The current started carrying it under the bridge, and I wanted my pipe bowl, so I ran down past the mill to the dam. The water lacked about six inches from going over the top, so I'stood there and waited. After awhile, here came the bowl. It finally reached the dam and I bent down and picked it up. It was no worse for the swim. One day I was up at Lloyd Miller’s house. We were bemoaning the fact that our pipes were no good. Lloyd’s mother said, “Why don’t you boysget some corncobs, take most of the pith out of the center, and get some teasel weeds for stems?” We did so, and had some good pipes until we could get some money to buy regular ones. I think it was when I was about in fifth or sixth grade in school, that we were studying about the Revolutionary War and the Indian Wars. The owner of the Star Theater ran a series of movies on each subject, which cost us, as students, five cents each time. I believe they ran one af­ ternoon per week. We also had a music class. The teacher had what she called Music Appreciation. I reckon it didn’t take very well on me, though, because the only piece I can remember, offhand, is “The Old Refrain” and I don’t know who composed it. I would rather listen to band music, polkas and hillbilly music. (To be continued next week) Get Ready for Winter... Irene's Beauty Shop 204 N.

Nashville Chamber of Commerce �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 27, 1984 — Page 6 Maplewood School students present program, enjoy feast By Shelly Sulser The smiles on the faces of proud parents proved that the Nov. 21 Thanksgiving program at Maplewood Elementary School was a success. The kindergarteners and first graders at the school had been rehearsing since Halloween for the day they would dress like Pilgrims and Indians and portray the first Thanksgiving. Making the costumes was no small task either. The little Indian girls wore “feathers” and small papooses dangled from their backs. The boys had their weapons and war paint, as they sat facing the children dressed like the Pilgrims who had come to this country on the Mayflower. The children acted out the story of the Pilgrims and sang songs while eager parents looked on and groped to find a spot where they could hopefully sanp a photo of their child. After the Thanksgiving program, under the direction of teachers Liz King, Linda Foote-Trine engagement announced Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth D. Foote of 254 W. Main Street, Vermontville and Terry L. Trine of Olivet are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter Terralynn to Steven M. Gordeneer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Gordeneer of 2222 W. Ver­ montville Highway, Charlotte. Terralynn will be a June, 1985 graduate of Maple Valley High School. Steven is a 1981 graduate of Charlotte High School and is employed by Care Free Aluminum Products in Charlotte. A wedding is being planned for Aug. 3, 1985. EWING WELL DRILLING Jones, and Claudette Holmberg, had ended, the children were treated to a feast consisting of popcorn, jello, cookies, orange drink and celery — imitating the fellowship between the Pilgrims and Indians at a famous feast years ago.

The amnesty would allow any person or business, if they are not presently under investigation or court action, to pay past due income, sales or single business taxes without fear of any penalty or civil or criminal action. Michigan has never provided an amnesty period. This concept will allow people whose conscience is bothering them a chance to pay up without fear of prosecution.

However, an amnesty should be granted only once, because if people think we’ll do this every few years there will be little incentive to pay on time. The proposed amnesty period would be from Jan. 1 to March 31, 1985, although that provision will change depending on when the bills gain passage through the Legislature. Massachusetts recently provided a similar amnesty period and received $65 million in back taxes and interest. Because the population in Massachusetts is 65 percent of Michigan’s, supporters of the legislation estimate a Michigan am­ nesty program could yield $100 million. Four Years Later: Where Does Michigan Stand? Perhaps the most widely asked question of the 1984 presidential election cam­ paign was: are you better off now than you^ were four years ago? And many Michigan residents answered “yes.” As a member of the Michigan House of Representatives, it would be nice to assume some of the credit for the economic turnaround that Michigan has experienced, par­ ticularly in the past two years. However, I believe it is the policies of the federal government, rather thn the Blanchard administration or the State Legislature that has provided Michigan residents with a higher standard of living, lower inflation, lower interest rates, and lower unem­ ployment rates. It is precisely the federal economic policies that have benefitted Michigan’s auto- The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 27, 1984 — Page 7 dependent economy the most. To live in an auto­ dependent state in an auto­ dependent national during a national economic recovery is pure economic bliss. When America buys cars in record numbers, Michigan’s economy soars. But there is a flip-side to the coin, and that is where the Michigan Legislature can play a significant role. We know too well that when the national economy a takes down-turn, Michigan’s economy goes into a tail-spin. That is because our state economy, and our jobs, are too closely tied to the auto industry. To overcome this dilemma, and we must do it now while the economy is strong, Michigan must begin to diversify its auto-bound economy. The Legislature is making some gains in developing incentives in the areas of tourism development, agricultural marketing, and “high-tech” research, but we are still unprepared economically for another national recession. In the past, we have merely raised taxes to tide us over until the next boom time hits. That method only drives existing businesses to other states, leaving a jobless void that is often hard to fill. The message we will deliver to the governor during the next session of the Michigan Legislature will contain pleas for a fairer single business tax, for an equitable solution to the determination of a “disability” injury for worker’s compensation purposes, and a strong message that our state’s economy cannot diversify until .those needed changes are made. Economists from the University of Michigan predict that the current recovery will continue through 1986, but perhaps at a reduced rate. Nonetheless, another recession is not imminent. This means that the Michigan Legislature and the Blanchard ad­ ministration still have enough time to make the needed adjustments in our state’s fiscal and taxation policies to make the state’s business climate more at­ tractive before another recession hits Michigan. 4-H Outdoor club meets Dec. 3 Monday, Dec. 3, 7:30 p.m. at the 4-H Building on the Charlotte fairgrounds is a meeting for everyone in­ terested in learning more about high adventure, outdoor activities.

The snowmobile ordinance was written and approved years ago to allow snowmobilers to go to and from the snowmobile trails outside of town. Basically, the laws of the local ordinance are: no faster than 15 m.p.h. on designated village streets; travel is allowed on all but the Main Streets (North, South, East, West); ab­ solutely no riding on any sidewalk; snowmobiles must be registered and properly equipped; and travel is allowed on the extreme right side of street. Staying off private yards and avoiding late night riding near homes are wise decisions. These are the areas of great concern to the people of Vermontville, said a club member. “To observe HAVE A LINGERIE BOUTIQUE IN YOUR HOME — OFFERED BY — JOYCE DANKENBRING Phone 517-543-1588 RT. «2.

One has to remember that other people are using these trails, also. Speed can be very dangerous out there, too. Slow down, use common sense, and stay on the marked trail and off unleased private property,” said the club spokesperson. “Remember, let’s all obey the rules of snowmobiling in Vermontville for safety’s sake and for the sport of snowmobiling.” ACTION-ADS CHAIN jSAW chains expertly sharpened and repaired, all sizes.

Everyone agreed it was the best concert they had ever attended. Liberace was great. A beautiful young lady from London, England sang. Liberace has started many young people on the road to success and also four young men (brothers), trumpet players, from Utah. Liberace found them about a year ago. They have just made their first recording and it is selling very well. Also, the Champion Fred Astaire Dancers, Rick and Barbara entertained with several different dancers. Liberace’s costumes were beautiful. Our favorite was a pink and silver and gems glass suit and cape. He said he had to sit down very carefully or he might have a shattering experience. He came on stage with a white and silver suit and a long trailing white ermine cape. The train was carried by two young men. There were �always four bodyguards with him. Other suits and capes were just beautiful. One cape with jewels, etc. weighed 100 lbs. A second weighed 130 lbs. The Mexican, the lasanga and the Christmas capes brought “oles” and “ahs” from the 6,000 people. He received two standing ovations. Sunday morning, many attended Mass and then we left for Toronto to shop in the Harbor Malls. We left Toronto at 2 p.m. and arrived back in Vermontville at 10:30 p.m. Tired, but we all decided we would do it over again just to see Liberace — the much talented great showman, said Mrs. Firster.

Athletics, set for Dec. 1 By Shelly Sulser Maple Valley’s third an­ nual spaghetti dinner will be held Friday, Dec. 7 in the high school cafeteria from 5­ 7:30 p.m. The purpose of the dinner' is to generate funds for the support of athletics, with the main target this year being the purchase of new varsity baseball uniforms. Organizers Burr Hartenburg and Larry Lenz explain that a second dinner for this school year is slated for Feb. 22. This is the first time that they have planned to hold the dinner twice in one year, Lenz said. The menu will consist of all the spaghetti one can eat, cole slaw, garlic bread, a homemade dinner roll and a beverage of either milk or ' coffee, at a cost of $2.50 for adults and $2 for children. For a small extra fee, one can also enjoy a piece of homemade pie for dessert. To obtain the meal, those attending will procede through the cafeteria line at the school. Donna Mahon and Pat Lenz are in charge of getting the food and supplying the kitchen utensils, and will be assisting Lenz and Hartenburg with the cooking, as will Audrey Hartenburg, who will also be setting up the dining area and organizing volunteers. The dinner, according to Lenz, is one way of serving the community, and will begin immediately before the varsity basketball game between Maple Valley and Middleville. The public is welcome. 19-year-old Vermontville hunter receives eye injury A 19-year old Vermontville hunter was released Saturday from Sparrow Hospital in Lansing where he was being treated for an eye injury from a bullet. Mark Cook, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Cook of Brick Hwy., was accidentally hit by another hunter's bullet which -ricocheted and hit Cook in the eye when he was deer hunting Nov. 24 in the Vermontville area. Cook said doctors have told him that he probably will not have sight in the injured eye. He has been taking mechanical training per­ taining to diesel., engines in Indianapolis, Indiana and hopes he can continue his studies there. Larry Lenz and Burr Hartenburg are ready to prepare the spaghetti to be served at the third annual meal at Maple Valley High School.

Vandalism and theft have recently begun to plague the Transfer Recycling Station, according to Nashville Village Council Member Carl Tobias. At a meeting of the council Thursday night, Tobias reported that an electric motor, tires, barrels and an electric heating unit have been stolen, and oil was spilled in the area. Police Sgt. Gene Koetje is in­ vestigating the matter. Ada Yaudes, secretary of the Lakeside Cemetery board, thanked the council for the $1,000 that was given to the board by the council in October, to be used for the repair of the mausoleum roof. Yaudes said that the roof has now been com­ pleted, and expressed to the council the need for ad­ ditional funding for more repairs to the mausoleum. According to Yaudes, the interior walls are in need of a coat of paint, and the floor should be professionally cleaned. The general cemetery fund currently retains $2,500, and more is needed, she said, in order to: pay workers’ wages; cut down some of the trees “before they fall down,”; pay cemetery workers’ wages; repair the pump house and provide for mowing equipment. Yaudes asked the council to consider these needs in the spring when deciding on a one-quarter mill increase for the cemetery. Revenue from lot sales and burials is used for cemetery maintenence, which, according to George Frith, is about $10,000 a year. Yaudes explained that lot HASTINGS PUBLIC LIBRARY 121 S. CHURCH STREET Hosting*, Michigan 4905s sales go down during the winter. The council voted to ap­ point Marsha Ainslie to fill one of three available positions on the Planning Commission and Don Williams to one of two spots on the Zoning Board of Appeals, after hearing a suggestion of Village President John Hughes. Williams’ and Ainslie’s letters of inquiry were the only two Hughes has received so far. A letter from Auto Owner’s Insurance Company of Lansing regarding David and Mildred Boomer of Nashville, was read to the council by Village Clerk Susan Corkwell. The letter stated that the village should pay an additional $250 to the $750 that was paid for damage done to a furnace owned by the Boomers’. Boomer claims that he requested that the village turn off his water while he left the area. According to Boomer, the village failed to do so, and, as a result, his pipes froze and then burst, resulting in the damage to the furnace. The furnace was valued at $1,000, and Auto Owners feels the village of Nashville is liable and should pay for its total worth. According to- Corkwell, when representatives of the village went to the Boomer residence, Boomer was holding an auction and requested they not turn off the water at that time, but that he would let them know when he did want it turned off. He allegedly failed to see that this was done, resulting in the bursting pipes and a basement full of water.

Last July he continued iris writing with a potpourri of miscellaneous anecdotes from his childhood that were published in the Memories column. In ad­ dition to all those con­ tributions, Howell also was responsible for the Memories story in August 1982 on the old Culp Bakery of Nashville. For all his remembering and sharing, we and our readers are deeply indebted. When we passed along our readers’ favorable com­ ments to Howell, he responded that he wished some of them would write their memories “for me to enjoy and to help you also.” Added Howell: “I fear I am going to run out of memories sometime. I am surprised that I have been able to remember so much. It is amazing. When I first started, I didn’t think I could remember much but one thing has led to another and I am making notes for a fifth article.” Coincidentally, by way of remembering, who among our oldtime readers can tell us exactly where the old chemical plant was located in Nashville? Reference was made to that operation in Howell’s first installment published in last week’s Memories column. In a subsequent letter, he noted that he could not recall the place but his father had told him about it. In a Nashville This week our .Memories of the Past column features the second of a five-part boyhood reminiscence of former local resident Guy W. Howell of Tucson, Arizona. Favorable comments about Howell s earlier offering in the Memories column prompted the additional stories, and be writes that he is making notes for a future article. Howell's extremely keen memory for detail of his youthful days make for very entertaining and humorous recollections of his everyday boyhood experiences — ones to which many of our readers who grew up in Nashville can relate. In a letter last week, Howell reminisced about the era of the Great Depression. “It made quite an im­ pression on me," noted Howell in reference to that far-reaching economic slowdown of the 1930s. “We didn’t have much (then) but prices were real low and the world seemed to go at a slower pace. People had to do for themselves instead of hiring things done, and kids had to use their imagination and make most of their own toys.” Most of Guy Howell’s memories of Nashville are from the 1920s-30s. In his first reminiscence published in the Maple Valley News in May 1983, he recalled boyhood days. His second offering, which commenced in December of that year, covered his years as a young It is wise to plan ahead in the selection of a cemetery plot or mausoleum before the need arises.

December 4, 1984 — Page 4 Memories of the pas Port Two More memories from former resident (Note: The following is the second of a five-part series of recollections boyhood written by former resident Guy W. local Howell of Tucson, Arizona. The story covers his growing-up years in Nashville in the 1920-30S, and is the fourth such of­ fering by Howell. His earlier appeared reminiscences in May and December 1983 and in July 1984. The son of the late Ransom and Florence Howell, the author moved to Nashville in 1918 at age four and remained here more than 20 years. After a 40-year absence, he made his first return trip to Nashville in 1983. We are indebted to him for the following account and all of his earlier tributions to this con­ column.) MEMORIES OF NASVHILLE by Guy W. Howell My Uncle William Howell had been a blacksmith in Nashville. He was in the building that faces Reed St. from the west side of Main St. He told me one time that on July 4th they used to “blow the anvil”. They would place a fair-sized ring on the anvil, fill it with black powder, turn another anvil upside down on top of the ring and run a fuse from the ring. Someone lit that and ran. The powder, being in a confined place, would ex­ plode with a sound like a cannon. He said it would lift the top anvil a little way above the other and topple it onto the floor. July 4th was always an exciting time for us kids. We didn’t have much money to spend on fireworks, but they didn’t cost much in those days. We had cap pistols, which of course lasted for several years. A box of caps cost a nickel, and there were ten rolls per box. Chinese firecrackers cost a nickel. The package had tiny firecrackers which were fastened together with their fuses. There must have been at least 50 of them per package. They were tiny things, probably about an eighth of an inch in diameter, and about threequarters of an inch long. Some of the boys would light a whole string of them at once, but the poorer kids, which included me, took them apart and lit one at a time. My brother, who was eight years older than I, would have some firecrackers they called Salutes. They were about half an inch in diameter and two inches long. They had a solid fuse, and when you lit it, you’d better get rid of the cracker fast, because you couldn’t see how close the fire was' getting to the powder, as the fuse didn’t burn like the other ones did. They made a terrific bang. We also had sparklers, snakes, which were little white cones, and once the tip was lighted, ash would come coiling out of it in the form of a snake; and we had pin­ wheels which were fastened on the light pole in front of our house. If we had enough money, there were also Roman candles and sky twas thefyear before: Christmas And all through the months, you've been readying your Christmas Club for the big holiday crunch.

When a buyer came to Nashville during the Depression years of the 1930s, young Guy Howell and his friends earned a bit of money by collecting washtubs full of clams which they located with their bare feet, wading in the water. Other income came from hunting frogs for an out-of-town frog leg buyer. On the Fourth of July, Guy Howell (the little shaver in this April 1921 photo) and his brother Frank Dawson (at right) were allowed to set off Salutes and other Firecrackers, but the sky rockets and pinwheels were handled by their father, who aimed the pyrotechnics over the Thornapple River near their home. From left are Guy’s relatives Gus and Grace AAorgenthaler and his parents. Ransom and Florence Howell. rockets. My dad always tended to the pinwheels and sky rockets. He had a board trough nailed to the light' pole. He stood the rocket in that, and fired it so it would go out over the river, which was about 200 feet in front of our house. And we had what was called “Devil on the Walk”, which was a round itenrx about an inch in diameter and Vi inch thick. We would break off pieces of it, put one on the sidewalk, place our heel on it and spin around, so it would snap and crackle. None of us was ever injured by fireworks, but every year there were children hurt. Hence the eventual ban on fireworks. We had a lot of fun though. We had a swimming hole for boys, down back of the old ball diamond, which was shielded from view by willow bushes. One of the older boys who could swim would tow us younger ones across the river on a board, where there was some nice sand. I couldn’t swim, so Mother was somewhat fearful of letting me go to the swim­ ming hole. Voyle Varney was a good buddy of mine and a good swimmer, so she asked him to teach me to swim. I was 14 years old when he started teaching me. We went to the swimming hole one day, and Voyle said, “O.K. Come on out where I am.” He was standing a little more than waist deep in the water. I hesitated and he said again, “Come on out here.” Very gingerly I waded out. “O.K. Now lay on your stomach in the water,” he commanded, “and dog paddle to shore,” and he showed me how to dog paddle. But I was very hesitant about lying down in that much water, so he said, “All right; if you don’t do as I tell you, I’ll take you out over your head and hold you under for five minutes.” I thought he would do it, too. Of coufse, I realized later that he couldn’t have held me under that long, but I didn’t think of that at the time he said it. So I laid down and started paddling. After quite a few failures, I started making some progress, and it wasn’t very long until I could swim across the river. Finally, I could do all the strokes used in swimming and was a good underwater swimmer. On the far side of the river there was a good-sized patch of poison ivy. Two or three of us fellows swam over there one day and rolled around in it. We were all of us in the altogether, as that was the way we swam in the old swimming hole, but none of us was affected by the vine. I was just naturally immune to poison ivy. My dad and I got the job one year of clearing the brush and vines off the river bank in front of our place. There were a lot of ivy vines going up the trees and Dad didn’t have anything to do with the plant, because he was allergic to it. I worked around in it, pulling it down out of the trees, stacking it and burning it. Dad went through the smoke once and got a bad case of poison ivy. I don’t know if I’m still im­ mune to it or not, but if I see any poison ivy, I go out around it. I don’t want to take any chances. I was hitch-hiking back from Battle Creek one winter and was getting pretty chilly, so I stopped at the store in Maple Grove. I bought some cheese, a small box of crackers and a pint of milk. The cheese was really good and had a little age on it. I’ve always liked aged cheese, so I asked the storekeeper how he did it. He said, “When I start one wheel of cheese, I put another on the shelf behind the stove. Whenever I take Continued on page 8 The Howells' cats, Jum­ bo and Zip, are seen in this 1920s photo with Guy's friend Don Reid, whose grandfather Charles Cruso lived in the Reed Street house seen in the back­ ground, next door to the Howell family.

Lloyd Miller and I had been out on one of our rambles one day, and were heading for home, when a thunderstorm came up. It started thundering and lightning pretty heavy. We were crossing an open field when it started to rain. There was an elm tree on the other side of the field, but we decided we wouldn’t risk getting under it. Just as we made up our minds to that Crash! Bang!! Lightning hit that elm tree! The bolt ran down the trunk and followed two or three roots right on Special Projects Highlight Studies of Middle Ages out getting back to the Students in Vicki Polanski's and Sandy Briggs’ sixth grade classes at Kellogg ground.

When I was working on the farm that was part of the hotel property at Thornapple Lake, Duff Eddy was far­ ming it for Tex Reid. We had quite a few hogs, and one sow was a rover. She would climb fences and get out any way she could. Well, she was due to farrow and we had her shut in a pen in the barn. She had six pigs, and then I guess the wanderlust hit her, because the next time we saw her she had climbed the partition into the next pen and had six more pigs! We got the first pigs and put them in with her. That made a litter of twelve. She raised all but one. That one she rolled on and killed it. Hogs can do funny things sometimes. Let one find a hole in the fence and get out. It never will go back to the same hole to get back home. Just the nature of the beast, I reckon.

When I was just a young boy, my brother had a black and white cat named Jumbo. At one time that cat weighed 16 lbs. Frank was old enough to be able to stay out quite late at night, and when he came home, he rattled the front door knob and my mother would get up and let him in. Well, one night Mother said she heard the knob rattle. She thought Frank was in bed, but checked to make certain. He was. But she went to the door and opened it. There was Jumbo! He had seen Frank get in that way, and thought it was a good idea. He kept on pulling that stunt, too. Jumbo was a fighter, and would take on any tom cat in the neighborhood. I got a kitten, which I named Zip. He was the spittin’ image of Jumbo, except that Jumbo had one eye black and Zip had the other. Frank had an old car sitting on the east side of our house, and Jumbo liked to sleep in the grass under it. Zip liked to play on the lot next to our house. Pretty soon he would let out a squall and head for the car, with another tom on his heels. They would get nearly to the car and here would come Jumbo out from under it, and he would lay into that other tom and chase him completely off the place. We always thought Zip was Jumbo’s son, ’cause he sure protected him. Another time a man came to town and said he was buying clam shells. We would get wash tubs and put them into the river, a ways below the dam, where the water was shallow and there was an abundance of clams. We would wade in and feel for the clams with our feet. When we felt one, we reached down, picked it up and put it into the tub. I forget how much we got for them, but every little bit helped in those days during the depression. I saw a western movie one time where a fellow had a great long whip with just a short handle and a three-foot piece of rawhi de on the end, which had a knot tied in the end of it. The handle was about 18 inches long. I made me one and I got so I could use that whip and make it pop. I was going through an alley one day, headed down to the swimming hole. There was a dog that lived in that area, and he was mean. He was a German shepherd. That day he came out at me snarling and barking. I let him get fairly close. Then I uncoiled my whip, and popped that leather thong right at the end of his nose. I don’t think I hit him, but the pop sounded like a rifle right there at his nose. I started re-coiling my rope, but the dog stopped, wheeled around, tucked his tail between his legs and scooted for the house. He never ran out at me again. Before I made my whip, there was another dog living in that alley. He was chained, but his chain was long enough to allow him to go clear across the alley. So I used to buy a nickel’s worth ofjelly beans and throw one or two at a time to the dog, to keep him happy until I got past him.

Nashville, Tuesday, December 4, 1984 — Page 12 Kids and crafts keep Nashville woman allwinter long By Shelly Sulser Marge Shilton of Nashville says she and husband Floyd are “simple people’’. The couple live on their farm on Guy Road, with Mike and Mickey, two of their six children. Floyd is a dairy farmer, and Marge enjoys gardening and baling hay during the summer, and keeps busy making crafts item, canning vegetables and reading during fall and winter months. Of crafting, Marge says, “If it can be made, I can make it." Most recently, she began making items to take to the bazaar held Saturday at the Maple Grove Town­ ship Hall. Some of the items were small backpacks for little girls to use to carry their dolls in and buntings for the same purpose. Marge likes to make things for her grandchildren, in­ cluding Cabbage Patch dolls and Care Bears, and also enjoys finding something new to make each year, saying that she always gives away or sells what she makes, leaving her with no leftovers. Having six children, eleven grandchildren and babysitting other people’s children, the Shilton’s lives revolve around kids, explains Marge. Floyd and Marge were 4-H leaders of a club called the Busy Bees, and taught 4-H for 21 years between them, she said. The Shilton’s are also past PTO members. Marge is currently involved in toddler work at the Nashville Baptist Church, and has been involved in that type of ministry for the past 30 years, working with twoyear-olds. She is also a member of a ladies’ missionary group called Promotors For Christ, (PFC), serves as vice president of the Gideon Auxiliary, and is secretary of Beigh Farm Bureau Group. Marge and Floyd have been married 38 years, and have lived 34 years at the same location. The Shilton’s daughters, Ann Gordenski, Ruth Hickey and Sandy Priddy, are also very interested in making crafts and cooking. Two of them enjoy sewing which they learned as children in 4H. Making wedding candles is one craft that Marge is especially proud of. She takes a set to every wedding she attends. Having a love for crafts and reading, Marge says she can hardly sit down without having something to do, and she hopes to teach her grandchildren to enjoy making things, also. In addition to the children already mentioned, the Shiltons also have a son, David, who lives in Grand Rapids. Marge seems to sum up her feelings of rural life when she says, “We are just simple people, we enjoy the way we live.” Vermontville woman keeps busy with crafts, dog grooming craft items that she can take unravel the whole thing.” Aside from crocheting to shows and bazaars to sell.

Claire explains that “you can’t do this if you don’t like what your doing.” She likes to be busy with her crafts most of the time, she said. “I can crochet or knit going down the road in the car, as long as I’m not driving, of course. My husband knows I won’t go anywhere with him unless I can do that, or else I’ll go to sleep.” Claire says that she also keeps busy while watching television. Making craft items is not the only thing she enjoys, as she also has a thriving dog grooming business, which she operates from her home. Claire and husband Ezra recently finished building their home on Kinsel Road, after residing in the fully equipped basement for nine years. The Huffmans have six children: Catherine Ann Metcalf, Francine Jones, Cynthia Todd, Diane Huff­ man and Denise Alacar, all of whom are presently in Kenai, Alaska. Their son, Earl Huffman lives in LaPorte, Indiana.

(Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) By Shelly Sulser How many women do you know who were taught by their father to crochet and knit? Claire Huffman of -Ver­ montville is one, and she has developed a keen interest in crafts over the years as a result. Claire explains that her father came from a family of five sisters who taught him to crochet and knit. “He’s the one who encouraged me,” she said. “Whenever I needed some yarn, he would go down to the store to get it for me to make sure I had it.” Claire spends much of her time crocheting and making Marge Shilton of Nashville at her sewing machine making gifts for Christmas.

Any announcements pertaining to school not being in session will be made through the following radio and television stations. WILS, Lansing; WKZO, Kalamazoo; WBCH, Hastings; WMMQ, Charlotte; WBCK, Battle Creek; WOOD, Grand Rapids; WGRD, Grand Rapids; WGWY, Charlotte; WITL, Lansing; WNWN, Coldwater; WKFR, Battle Creek; WOTV, Grand Rapids; and WZZM TV-13, Grand Rapids. General announcements will be made when school is in session and it is necessary to let school out early because of road conditions. Any change or cancellation of the afternoon kindergarten sessions will be announced on the area stations. An attempt will be made by school personnel to contact the parents of kin­ dergarten students enrolled in the afternoon sessions. Any morning when it is necessary to close school it is necessary that many telephone calls be made by school personnel. It will be greatly appreciated if you will listen for the an­ nouncement on the radio or TV and not call the bus garage or the homes of the personnel involved in making the decision related to school closings. Such telephone calls to the bus garage or to the homes of school personnel will often delay school personnel from being able to call the stations regarding school an­ nouncements. Also, such telephone calls to the bus garage could interfere with school personnel being able to call the bus drivers.

Village snowplows will now be allowed to plow paths ahead of fire trucks and ambulances on county roads in cases of emergency, the council agreed. This decision came as a result of difficulty firefighters encountered while responding to a house fire located on an unplowed county road, Christmas Eve 1983, according to Ver­ montville Village Clerk Sharon Stewart. A motion was passed to allow the police department to form a petty cash fund, with money paid to the department by insurance companies for copies of police reports. Stewart will now be paid bi-monthly instead of once a month, at her own request, which was granted by the council. Jack Clark, a member of the wage committee reported that all village employees will receive a three percent increase in wages effective March 1, 1985.

Christiansen, wife of former Nashville Village President Harold Christiansen. Mrs. Christiansen of Nash­ ville was killed in a Kent County traffic accident Thursday afternoon while on her way to work. A zest for life and deep love for her family are part of the legacy that Mrs. Christiansen leaves behind.

On Saturday, the 15th, the Jolly Old Elf will be at Eaton Federal Savings and Loan at 109 S. Main between 9:30­ 11:30 a.m. Photos are being encouraged, so bring your camera along with the kids. The following week, Santa will appear at Putnam Public Library during an event staged by the local Friends of the Library.

Nominating petitions are now available for three trustee seats opening in the spring on the Nashville Village Council. All are for two-year terms. Deadline for filing petitions with Village Clerk Susan Corkwell is 4 p.m. Tuesday, December 18. (Petitions for circulation may be obtained at Village Hall.) The expiring council seats now are held by Gerald Kent, Richard Chaffee, and Forrest Babcock. The primary election is set for Feb. 18 and the general election will be held on March 11. Last day to register to be eligible to vote in the primary election will be January 21. Nashville Church of the Nazarene is planning a Sunday School Christmas party for youngsters from toddler age up. The luncheon party starts at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, December 22. Following it there will be a dress rehearsal of the children’s Christmas program to be presented in church the next day, starting at 10 a.m. three through fourth grade. Movies, crafts and stories are on the agenda, along with a visit from that popular North Pole resident. FOL volunteers will en­ tertain and supervise the youngsters while their parents shop. (Children under three are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian, as volunteers and staff will be too busy to tend to the needs of the toddler age group.) Both appearances by Santa are being arranged by the local Chamber of Com­ merce. Christmas goodies galore will be offered at a fund­ raising bake sale to be conducted by Maple Valley Cooperative Nursery Association at Comerica Bank on December 14 and 15. Friday hours for the sale are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Satur­ day, 9 a.m. till noon. Local resident Gunda Pennock, who is wintering in Florida, was taken ill and hospitalized there last week but is expected to be back at her home in Bradenton by the time this report appears in print. We are sure she would enjoy hearing from her many Nashville friends. Hiesha Renee Barnhart Josephine Christiansen NASHVILLE Hiesha Renee Barnhart, five-dayold daughter of John R. and Julie L.

Among those she visited were her sister Doris Hazelton and children. During Mrs. Sheldon’s stay, Florida experienced the worst rain and wind storm in 20 years, resulting in eroded beaches, closed causeways, and malfunctioning of traffic signals. Mrs. Sheldon and Paula visited a beach during the rampage and the former reports that it was the first time she had ever seen the incoming tide covered with such a thick, rushing foam. The storm lasted three days, but temperatures remained fairly pleasant throughout her visit.

Howell of Tucson, Arizona. The story covers his growing-up years in Nashville in the 1920-30S, and is the fourth such of­ fering by Howell. His earlier reminiscences appeared in May and December of 1983 and in July 1984. The son of the late Ransom and Florence Howell, the author moved to Nashville in 1918 at age four and remained here more than 20 years. After a 40-year absence, he made his first return trip to Nashville in 1983. We are indebted to him for the following account and for all of his earlier contributions to this column. Memories of Nashville by Guy W. Howell Another boy and I were collecting newspapers to sell. We were in a barn about half a block west of Main St., even with Ralph Olin’s Guy Howell's mother, Florence, and Dr. Morris of Nashville applied cold compresses to the young lad's neck to stop a severe nosebleed brought about by a playful collision with the local schoolhouse and aggravated by a frightened race home. Several days of bed rest were needed to recover from the loss of blood. Guy is seen here with his mother a few years after that mid-1920s incident. Service Station. Suddenly we heard an explosion. We left the papers and ran to Main St. There was smoke pouring out of Olin’s station. The fire truck arrived soon and started pumping water into the basement. It seems that the air compressor motor sparked, and the spark caught some oily rags, which in turn caused a barrel of oil to explode. After we got to Main St. there were two more explosions. There were some men in the station when the first explosion occurred. One of them was sitting in a straight-backed chair, leaning against the wall. He said the chair went up about two feet, and when it came down, he was out of it and out the door. No one was injured, but the building took quite a lot of repair. In the early 1930’s we got a Home Owner’s Loan to finish paying for our place on Reed St. The government in­ spector insisted that we have a new roof and a new paint job, to be included in the loan. So they hired a man by the name of Keeler to do the job. He was real friendly and we liked him. He invited me out to his farm for a week to hunt. I went, and found he had some excellent small game hunting on his place. While I was there the Grange had an area supper and dance. I had my guitar along, so I joined the string band they had for the dance. We played from about 8 to 11 p.m. Then we had in­ termission, with supper, which was sausage and pancakes, and also salad. After intermission the dance went on. The banjo player asked me if I would play his banjo so he could go out on The old iron bridge g at Gregg's gg Crossing g once spanned p the Thornapple pp River i Nashville, recalls Guy Howell, and was moved to its new location northwest of town when the new extended iron bridge was installed in the village (in 1899). A youthful spitting contestt on the bridge at Gregg's Crossing resulted in a riverdunking for Howell. The man in this t 1924 photo at Gregg's Crossing is unidentified, but the picture came from the Otto Lass-Clara Hannemann collection. Concession stands were plentiful on the midway at Nashville s annual Harvest Festival when Guy Howell was a boy, and the aroma of one left a lasting memory. A local concession stand of an eqrlier day is the popcorn wagon of Harry Miller, who is standing at right in this early 1900s scene in the Main Street business district. Others in the picture are unidentified. (Photo loaned, courtesy Dorothy Hummel Martich) the floor and dance. I told him I didn’t know how to pick a banjo, so he taught me two chords on it and told the fiddler to use only those chords for awhile. We had a lot of fun, and the dance didn’t break up until daylight. Then the men went home to do their chores and sleep most of the day. Most of the crops had been har­ vested, so they had some leisure time. I enjoyed my stay with the Keeler family. One time, shortly after that, I got the idea that I would like to get into radio playihg and singing. I went to Battle Creek, to Radio Station WELL, went into the office and asked about an audition. The man set up a microphone and told me to start playing and singing to get warmed up, and he would go out into the control room and turn the mike on. In about 15 minutes he came back and told me he had been listening to me. “I know,” I told him. “How did you know?” he asked in surprise. “When I came into this room,” I replied, “there were two mikes turned on, one on the desk over there and this one. There was a panel of buttons on the desk and two of the buttons were lighted.”, He laughed. “I always do an audition that way, because a lot of people get mike fright if they known they’re in front of a live mike.”He told me I had a good voice and played well, but the station had all the singers they could handle. “We could give you 15 minutes a day on the air, if you like,” he said, “but you’d have to work on your own until you could get a spon­ sor.” Well, that was back in the Great Depression, and I didn’t have money to stay in Battle Creek. At the time I was staying with my aunt and uncle, but I couldn’t impose on them until I could find a sponsor, so I went home. Every year, late in the summer, we had a Harvest Festival. They were a lot of fun. There were quite a lot of stands on the midway. I remember one in particular. It was a hamburger stand. I believe the man who ran in was Bill Miller. He would start the griddles going and then put onions on the, and you could smell those onions all over the midway. Every year there would be a barnstormer with his airplane to take passengers for a ride over Nashville. I was finally allowed to go for a ride. As we were taking off, I was watching the ground flashing along under us, and finally receding as the plane rose into the air. We flew all around Nashville, and it was fun. I tried to get Mother to give me 50 cents for another ride, but she said, “No”. One ride is enough. We can’t afford any more.” So I had to be satisfied withjust one ride that time, as I knew that arguing could only get me into trouble. One year there was a barnstormer who came in from Grand Rapids. He had another man with him. He saw someone in a field close to town waving at him, so he circled around and landed,* but the wheels sank into the ground because there were some moles at work in the field. The field had been used for landing airplanes, but not for a long time. The one in use at that time was about two miles east of town. The pilot and the other man got out and found it was only a boy who had waved. The pilot said he didn’t know if he could take offfrom that field, as he would have to take off right over some tall fir trees and a house. Someone had pulled up in a car, so the pilot told his passenger to ride out to the other field in the car and he would try to meet him there. He taxied to the far end of the field and gunned the engine, opening it wide. He got off the ground and just barely cleared the fir trees. He had in mind just picking up his passenger and heading back to Grand Rapids, but they talked him into staying, so everything turned out all right. I was on a farm, working for a cousin, one summer. One morning he asked if I would like some pancakes for breakfast. I said I would, so he got out some milk that had gone sour. Tha milk had mold all over the top of it, and it smelled bad. I won­ dered at him using that for pancakes, but I didn’t say anything. He skimmed the mold off the top and then whipped up the batter, and truthfully I can say I had never eaten batter pancakes. They were really good! Lloyd Miller and I were tramping around the country one spring, and were out around Greggs Crossing. At some time or other they had put a longer bridge over the Thornapple River in Nash­ ville, and had taken the old bridge to put out at Greggs Crossings. g. The extensions, , where the board sidewalk had been on the bridge, were still there, and there were holes in the steel where the boards had been bolted. Well, kid-like we got to daring each other to go out on those extensions, which were about three or four inches wide, and spit down through the holes. The river was in flood and was about two feet below the bridge. I went out carefully, and was going to spit through the end holes, but the water rushing under made me dizzy, and before I could do anything I was in the river. That water was cold, too! I came up and struck out for land, going through under the bridge, and landed down stream a ways. The air was pretty warm and the sun was shining, so it didn’t take long for me to dry out. I was a Boy Scout from the time I was 12 years old until I was 21. We usually had a Court of Honor in Hastings, at which time the boys who were ready passed their tests for Merit Badges and other parts of Scouting. The Court of Honor was usually held in the school gym. They had a board track around the sides of the gym, above the floor, that was 1-10 of a mile in length. I was a runner at the time, so I started around the track. I ran around that track 85 times, which was 8% miles. Another boy ran around it 120 times, which was 12 miles. He had just started on the next lap when he keeled over and passed out. That was just a little too much running. They put cold water on his face and he came around O.K. I decided I had gone far enough, so I quit. Dad and I used to go fishing for bullheads in the mill pond. We boiled cotton and cornmeal together, then went out in a boat at night. We would tie a piece of the cornmeal-cotton onto our lines and drop it down beside the boat. When we got a bite, we would wait a little bit until the fish had the bait swallowed. Then we raised him gently out of the water, being extremely careful not to touch the boat with himor he would fall off. There were no hooks to try and get out of the fish’s mouth. We would catch a mess of them and then have a catfish (or bullhead, same difference) fry the next day. Another boy and I were walking along the railroad one day, just east of town, when we saw a switch box burning. We ran as fast as we could to the little house where they kept the section car. The men were just putting the car away. We told them about the box, and they told us to hop on the car, after they go it on the rails again. We rode to the switch box and the men put out the fire. It didn’t cause any real damage, but it could have. They took us back to the section house, and we were a Continued on next page- 7 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, December 11, 1984 — Page 5 Continued from Page 4 ZNX tw*, tw* IhL *<itt* ifct jj jj Sis Sis *tj‘ a a.. ~ Ih k <> "S 2**» L T’hlito, «1W “«8tlBwtjk ‘•’M tint *® fsdv m >«h « <3® /it it*eevv• tarftan tarftan,, <3®r r W"iit»ts*t.taajiji1 Wibwitniu ** £ *••11 IW lUauluJ *•■•11 lUlJ 3t3t stltttll iita•tnilnin ita.

Lloyd Miller and I used to go to Vermontville oc­ casionally in my Whippet car. One night a young fellow asked if he and his girl could ride with us. We said O.K. and we started off. In Ver­ montville we went into an ice cream parlor. Lloyd and I each bought a Pepsi, and thought the other fellow would buy for’him and his girl. He didn’t, but he called me to one side and asked if I would buy a Pepsi for his girl. “Listen,” I said, “She’s not my girl. If she was, she’d have a Pepsi. But I’ve no money to buy drinks for someone else else’s’s girl.” However, I felt sorry for the girl and I finally gave in and ordered her a Pepsi. I was starting to figure that that fellow would never go with us again, because I didn’t have any use for a dead beat. When Lloyd and I went anywhere, we shared ex­ penses, but this fellow made no offer to share. When we’d been there awhile, he said, “I’ve got to have my girl home at 11 o’clock.” “Don’t worry,” I said, “we’ll get her home in plenty of time.” But he kept looking at the clock and fidgeting. We were only five miles from Nashville, so about 10:35 or 10:40 p.m. we started. The fellow kept saying, “Can’t you go any faster? We’ll never be there by 11 o’clock.” So I tromped on the accelerator and the car picked up to about 65 miles per hour. “Hey!” he yelled, “I didn’t mean to go that fast. Slow down!” With that I took my foot off the accelerator and we just idled along at about five miles an hour. Then he said, “I didn’t mean this slow.” I stopped the car then and said, “All right; I’ve had enough of your griping. Lown this car, and Lloyd and I are dividing expenses. You haven’t even offered to pay your share. So now you keep your mouth shut and I’ll drive the car just the way I want to, and we’ll be at your girl’s house before 11 o’clock.” With that I started up again and drove along about 35 MPH, which I had been doing before, and we pulled into her folks’ driveway about 10:55. But we made up our minds right then that he would never go anywhere with us again, and he never did. When I was about in the fifth or sixth grade in school, we used to play games at recess. I forget what game we. were playing at the time, but I was running fast and banged into the school building. I hit my nose and it started “bleeding like a stuck hawg.” That scared me, and I started running for home as fast as I could. I was told afterwards that it was the worst thing I could have done, because it heated my blood and was pumping it faster. I got home, and my nose was still bleeding very bad. Mother had a neighbor go for Dr. Morris. He packed my nose and put cold compresses on the back of my neck, but it was a long while before they got it stopped. I was so weak I couldn’t stand up, I had lost so much blood. They put me to bed and I was there for several days. Dr. Morris looked in occasionally to see how I was doing. I finally got all right, but I never forgot that nosebleed. Our house on Reed St. was only two or three hundred feet south of the Thornapple River. I used to go over and sit on the bank and fish. I went over one day to catch some minnows to fish with. I had only a minnow hook on my line. I had caught a few minnows and had another one hooked. I was just pulling my line in, when whammo! something hit that minnow. I pulled my line in, but there was nothing on it, not even the minnow hook. So I went back to the house and got a bass hook which I put on my line, put a minnow on it and tossed the line in again. Suddenly I had a strike. I pulled in and had a three pound bass. My minnow hook was in the side of his mouth, so a fish will strike twice if he’s hungry enough. My dad was around Barryville quite a bit when he was young. He found that the waters in the creeks have petrifying properties. As a young man he took a piece of wood and placed it in one of those creeks. Several years later he fished it out and found it had turned to stone. He said that was the best whetstone he ever had for sharpening knives. That was around the cemetery, and I remember one incident that happened there. My grandfather and grandmother and great grandmother Howell are buried there. When grand­ mother died in 1919 they were going to bury her beside grandfather, but found someone else buried there. They dug into the grave, thinking they could liftthe casket out. They tried to raise it, but it wouldn’t budge. At last they had to dig one side on a slant and get some planks and a team of horses before they could move that casket. They finally slid it out of the ground and found that it was solid stone. They put it into a new grave and put my grandmother’s casket in that one.

Love, Andrew (Age 4) Antifreeze can be deadly by Roger-A. Betz, Ext. Agri. Agent Antifreeze waste products and spillage from cleaning and winterizing radiators are extremely dangerous to children, pets and livestock. Most commercial an­ tifreezepreparations contain ethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol has a sweet taste so children, pets and livestock will readily drink the con­ centrated as well as the diluated solutions. Two tablespoons of ethylene glycol (antifreeze) may kill a child, a 25-pound dog, or six five-pound cats. Clinical signs of acute toxicosis are uncoordinated movements, convulsions, vomiting, coma and death. If an animal survives the acute poisoning without treatment, death may ensue in 5-8 days from kidney damage and uremia. If antifreeze poisoning is suspected, professional medical assistance should be sought, immediately. Early treat­ ment is necessary to prevent death.

Vessecchia, who serves as Hospice Chaplain, expressed to the Chamber her desire to see Nashville involved in the Hospice program, which provides the opportunity for the lives of terminally ill patients and their families to be enhanced in the familiar environment of the home. All Barry County health care agencies are currently involved, as are all doctors and many nurses in the county, she said. Donating time or money to Hospice is “one of the nicest things you can do this Christmas,” Vessecchia told chamber members and local business owners. She asked Nashville proprietors to consider contributing to the Hospice program in order to help pay for insurance, phone bills and numerous other costs. One hundred voulunteers have recently completed Hospice training, with two types of volunteers included. Professional volunteers usually consist of nurses and Doctors who can visit a patient in the home and provide medical care, and laypeople who do such things as errands, housework and sitting with the patient. “The prime thing that terminally ill people face is the fear of being alone,” said Vessecchia. She would like the residents of the village of Nashville to become in­ volved in the program because it could be beneficial to them some day. “This could be one of the nicest things you can do yourself, as well,” Vessecchia said. Now is time to start tax preparation “Once Dec. 31, 1984 goes by it will be too late to take steps to help you hold down your tax bill. Now is the time to be thinking about some end-of-the year tax plan­ ning,” says Roger Betz, Eaton County Extension Ag. Agent. Are you taking the zero bracket amount or are you itemizing? Maybe you could make some changes in the timing of your deductions. If you are very close to the zero bracket amount this year, you might want to consider changing the timing on deductibles such as charitable contributions or interest payments so you’ll add those amounts into this year. Another possibility would be to pay your state or local taxes now even if they are not due until after the first of the year. Remember that, if you do file your state or city income taxes early and then SANTA’S COMING! « Is your chimney dean? Will that red suit get dir-g ty?

With a little thought and planning you may be able to itemize one year and take the zero bracket amount the next year when you don’t have enough deductions to itemize. It’s important to have your checks both dated and received in the correct year. So don’t wait until Dec. 31, to mail a check. If you are self-employed, you may want to accelerate or delay sending out your bills, depending on whether you think your income will be higher in one year or the other. Another strategy is to pay business expenses in the year when you think income will be higher. This is the same principal as timing deductions. You have to decide if this tax planning is important for you. If you have any questions or concerns, you should seek advice from a qualified tax adviser. Nancy Clark of Nashville, who manages the Re­ Creation Center, was narrator of the fashion show featuring attractive used clothing like this suit Steve Reid models. Local people participate in Hastings Fashion Show Christiansen, continued reporter that she was eager to obtain her diploma to fulfill a promise she had made to her late mother nearly a half-century ago when she dropped out of school as a teenager. Over the years, “It’s always bothered me that I didn’t get my diploma like I told her I would. Now, I’ve kept my promise and I feel better,” Jo had said at that time. Betty Heidt, coordinator of the Hastings Community Education program, remembers Jo as a “grand person” with a lot of am­ bition and determination to earn her diploma despite working full-time and raising two of her grand­ children. Mrs. Christiansen’s sudden death came as a shock, said Betty. “It was a joy to know her (Jo)...She was a beautiful person...I felt priviliged to know her and she was so faithful to her school. She was eager to learn and so delighted to get her diploma and I’m so glad she did it,” Betty continued. At the time Mrs. Christiansen ' was interviewed in 1983, she credited help from husband “Harold and the Lord” for being able to complete her schooling and expressed a deep love for her family. She was born in Bowne Township in Kent County, but had been raised in Hastings. Audiences at the two fashion shows held Saturday at the Re-Creation Center in Hastings were delighted to hear to beautiful songs by 10-year-old Amy Roscoe, daughter of Rev. Don and Sherry Roscoe of Nashville. Amy sang "Nothing Improves My Day Than Praising Him" and "The Gift Goes On." The Re-Creation Center operates as a non-profit Christian ministery and includes a retail store for good, used clothing.

The Maple Valley Lions opened their varsity basketball season with a 66­ 48 victory over non-league rival Middleville. The game was highlighted by solid defense. Senior guards Gary Reid and Jeff Hamilton had 12 steals between them. A tenacious Lion press caused several Trojan turnovers. The quick Lions startled their visitors by jumping out to a six point lead. The Trojans managed to tie the game halfway through the second quarter but took the lead only once, 20-18, near •the end of the second quarter. Both teams had scored 23 points by the half. The Lions made the third quarter their best. While netting 26 points for them­ selves, Valley allowed the Trojans only 10. The margin was too much for the visitors and Valley coasted to their first victory. Maple Valley shot 38 percent from the field and 55 percent from the free-throw line. All Lions scored in their first win. Jeff Hamilton, 21 points; Gary Reid, 11; Kurt Hartenburg, 9; Ryan Trowbridge, 5; Greg Lenz, Shan Ferrier and Jim Benit, 4 each; Bob McMillen, 3; Alan Mater and Mike Siple, 2 each and Jim Symonds, 1.

A “Many area livestock producers are short on feed supplies because of the dry summer,” says Roger A. Betz, Extension Agricultural Agent. Producers can “stretch their feed supplies” in several ways. Alfalfa and hay fields can be green chopped or har­ vested as haylage anytime after Oct. 20 without causing harm to next year’s yield. Also, wheat stubble with clover could be harvested or grazed to increase feed supplies. Corn stubble can be easily grazed by constructing inexpensive, portable electric fence. Cattie will eat the ears and grain left in the field after harvest first and then feed on the less palatable leaves and stalks. This should be taken into consideration when balancing rations. An alternative is to make smaller areas that will be “cleaned up” every one to two weeks. Also the stubble can be harvested with a flail chopper, stacker or round baler. You may want to talk to neighbors about purchasing corn fields after harvest to graze or harvest the stalks. Another obvious possibility is to purchase feed. This could be grain, hay haylage, and-or corn silage. Shelled com may be the cheapest source of energy. The Cooperative Extension Service has a statwide computer program which is designed to get potential buyers and sellers of hay in contact with each other. Ifyou are interested in either buying or selling, simply call your local Ex­ tension office to be included on the list and also find out who else may be interested so you can contact them. Simply cutting back to producing milking cows is not a good idea. If your cash flow is tight and you are unable to obtain feed you would be better off to sell some of the lower producers. Forty well managed and properly fed high producing cows will make more money than 60 underfed, poorly managed low producing cows. The best feed should be fed to the higher producing cows nd the lower quality roughages should be fed to the dry cows, heifers, and lower producing cows. You can balance the nutritional needs of the non-high producers with lower quality feeds but becomes very difficult or impossible with high producers. Don’t waste your best quality feed on heifers, dry cows, and low producers. Producers should take an inventory of all feed on hand and estimate their needs until new feed supplies will be available next summer. If you are short, plan on it. Perhaps you should start buying some feed now or cutting numbers of cattle.

Winter Awareness Week spotlights winter survival tips Winter Awareness Week, Dec. 2-8, has been declared by Governor James Blanchard. Although winter is a in beautiful season Michigan, storms bring extreme cold, freezing rain, ice and snow. The Governor urges the public to learn how to protect themselves from the hazards of severe weather, to take steps to reduce risks, and to have a safe and enjoyable winter season. Capt. Peter Basolo, director of the State Police Management Emergency Division, cautions the public to pay attention to weather advisories. Know the winter words of warning. A winter storm watch indicates a storm is approaching. A warning means there are severe weather conditions present and precautions should be taken. A cold wave indicates a rapid fall in temperatures within a 24-hour period that will require emergency protective action. Ice storms, freezing rain or drizzle means a coating of ice is expected. A blizzard means winds of at least 35 miles per hour and tem­ peratures of 20 degrees Fahrenheit or less over an extended period with con­ siderable falling or blowing snow. To be prepared for winter storms, the State Police offer this advice: Have enough canned and dried foods on hand to last several days should become you snowbound at home. Keep prescriptions filled. If possible, have emergency heating equipment available such as a wood stove orr fireplace and a supply of wood in case of a power failure. Be sure any heating equipment is properly ventilated. Keep candles, matches, and flashlights on hand. A battery-operated radio with spare batteries will keep you informed of emergency broadcast information. Extra blankets and heavy clothing should be available. Stay inside, don’t go out unless you absolutely have to, then dress appropriately. Layers of protective clothing are more effective and ef­ ficient than single layers of thick clothing. Hoods should cover the mouth to protect from extremely cold air. Avoid overexertion and overexposure. Make sure your car is in good condition, properly serviced and equipped with snow tires. Keep the gas tank full. Have emergency supplies such as a shovel, flashlight, blanket, scrapers, a first aid kit, and food supplies in the car. During severe weather conditions, travel only if absolutely necessary and if possible, take another person with you. If you do get stuck in a storm, don’t panic. Show a trouble signal if you’re on a well-traveled road. Set your directional lights to flashing, raise the hood of your car, or hang a cloth from the antenna or window. Then stay in your car and wait for help to arrive. If you run the engine, open a window to provide ventilation and protect you from carbon monoxide poisoning. If there is no, source of help in the immediate vicinity, don’t leave your car-you may become confused and get lost Planning ahead is one of the best defenses against unpredictable Michigan winters.

It has been a long hard struggle and many volunteer hours have been given by members of your Humane Society, Animal Control and the County Board of Com­ missioners to draft a facility which is suitable, workable and large enough to carry on the work of Animal Control in a way the Humane Society strives for. This past year has been eventful as we have provided food, shelter and neutering and spaying to many animals as well as educated their owners. This work we plan to continue in 1985 as well as to promote a partial payment of neutering and spaying of animals that will be adopted from the new shelter where there is a need. We are purchasing stainless steel portable cages of various sizes to temporarily house animals in various sections of the new shelter as well as 48-2 qt. and 36-1 qt. bowls and 18 bowl holders for a total of ap­ proximately $4,600.

Tuesday. December 11, 1984 — Page 16 Bill prevents tax on Social Security Months of pressure from lawmakers and senior citizen groups paid off recently when the state House approved legislation that prevents Michigan from collecting income tax on Social Security benefits. The vote ended months of delay on the measure. The bill (SB 583) will now be sent to the governor’s desk. I don’t think the state should tax Social Security benefits in any way. Passage of this legislation ensures that benefits will be excluded from state taxable income. Throughout the year, I have pushed for this bill’s passage and am glad the House has finally taken action. The issue arose in April 1983 when the U.S. internal revenue code was amended to include one-half of Social Security income of more than $25,000 on an individual return or $32,000 on a joint return. Because the Michigan income tax starts with the federal adjusted gross income, concern arose over whether any Social Security income would be exposed to the state income tax as well. This bill, written in straightforward language, clearly exempts Social Security benefits and eases people’s minds. I encourage Governor Blanchard to sign this legislation immediately and put an end to the fears of many Michigan senior citizens. Survey Indicates Public Views on High Education A survey conducted by the Michigan Association of Governing Boards (MAGB) and the Governor’s Com­ mission on the Future of Higher Education shows that 56 percent of Michigan’s residents believe that fewer than one-half of the state’s families can send a student to a state public college or university without financial aid. The recent poll, funded by a grant from the Kellogg Foundation, was taken because the MAGB wanted to known how the public perceives Michigan colleges and universities. In addition the survey pointed out that seven out of 10 residents feel the state has about the right number of public colleges and universities to meet current needs. And more than 96 percent of those surveyed said that more financial aid should be available to members of lower-income households ($200,000 or less). Eight in 10 residents believe that financial aidshould be extended to middle-income families with incomes of $20,000 to $50,000. One-third of those in­ terviewed said someone in their household had applied for financial aid at some time with a significant number saying that someone in their household was unable to attend college soley for financial reasons. An even larger number of Michigan residents say that someone in their household has been forced to withdraw from college or take fewer courses because of financial reasons. Officials have said that the survey results indicate that we are at a pivotal point in preserving the quality of higher education in Michigan. They think the system is at risk and that action must be taken soon to maintain quality. I agree. Ever since the “Nation at Risk” report was released in the summer of 1983, educational leaders and lawmakers throughout the state have joined in the nationwide re-examination of our school systems. And it’s a healthy and worthwhile process, because the decisions we make for our colleges and universities today will set the direction of our higher education through the end of this century. Ranking of Pollution Sites to Be Reviewed At Public Hearings A series of statewide hearings is scheduled this month to review the ranking of Michigan’s 1,200 worst pollution sites before Governor Blanchard recommends to the Legislature how much money will be needed next year to clean up the sites. Currently, $24 million is Ernest Nash being spent for site evaluation and cleanup. DNR officials say that more than $20 million probably will be requested by the department for such work in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, 1985. The sheer number of sites is of serious concern to all of us in state government. But it is hoped that strong en­ forcement, the federal Superfund program and the state Environmental Response Act will combine to effectively address the most serious problems sites. Five public hearings will take place throughout the state in December to review the proposed list before the final priority list and Blanchard’s proposed budget are unveiled early next year. The list will be available for public comment until Jan. 7. Written comments may be submitted to the remedial action section of the DNR’s Groundwater Quality Division.

This new option, which has already been approved by the full Senate, is expected to pass the House and receive the Governor’s signature. SURVEY INDICATES PUBLIC VIEWS ON HIGHER EDUCATION - A survey conducted by the Michigan Association of Governing Boards (MAGB) and the Gover­ nor’s .Commission on the Future of Higher Education, funded by a Kellogg Foundation grant, shows that seven out of ten residents feel the state has about the right number of public colleges and universities to meet current needs. LOTTERY SALES BREAK RECORD - The Bureau of State Lottery reports that the 1983-84 fiscal year broke all existing sales records, and the new Lotto game is partly responsible for the $585 million the Lottery reaped during the past 12 months. There were 19 million winning tickets and $290 million was paid out to their holders, ranging from $2 to $2.9 million, between October 1,1983, and September 30, 1984. Over $234 million was also placed in Michigan’s school aid fund. DRUG I.D. BILL SIGNED INTO LAW - Legslation requiring prescription drug manfacturers to mark each tablet or capsule for easy identification, in case of an overdose or other emergency situation, has been signed into law by the governor. Michigan joins 15 other states that have passed similar laws. While many drug companies do identify each tablet, many do not. The new requirement takes effect on June 1, 1985. SOCIAL SECURITY REMOVED FROM TAXABLE BASE - After months of pressure from lawmakers and senior citizen groups, the State House approved legislation that prevents Michigan from collecting income tax on Social Security benefits. The vote ended months of delay on the measure. The bill, SB 583, will now be sent to the governor’s desk. SEASON'S GREETINGS, MR. PRESIDENT! - President and Mrs. Reagan will receive a 25-year-old, 20-foot blue spruce that was grown in Michigan’s Missaukee County and it will be placed in the Blue Room of the White House. A smaller 8 foot tree grown in Allegan County will grace the Reagan’s private family living quarters. A plant may be the perfect gift for any number of reasons. In cold weather, transporting a gift plant so that it arrives in good health requires some care. Allen 'Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, suggests making sure plants are well protected against the cold. “Whether you buy a plant from a greenhouse operator or florist or give a plant you’ve grown yourself, make sure it’s wrapped in several layers of paper with some dead air space between the plant and paper before you take it outdoors,” he suggests. The final layer of paper might be a heavy grocery sack or cardboard box. Rush the plant from the shop or greenhouse to your heated car. If your shopping trip includes other stops, make them first, so plants don’t sit in a cold car and get chilled. When it’s time to take plants from the car, again move them quickly. Any plant going from a brightly lighted greenhouse or shop into a dry, low-light environment of a home or apartment will have some adjustments to make. To minimize the shock, help the recipient ofa gift plant select a spot for it will be provide plenty of light and a minimum of drafts and temperature fluctuations. Be sure, also, to provide care instructions.

Ellard, Ex­ tension Home Economist If you know someone that has been placed on a low sodium diet because of high blood pressure, the Eaton Cooperative Extension Service has a free booklet which can help them make the proper food choices. It is called “The Sodium Content of Your Food.” Sodium is a mineral element necessary for proper body function. It is involved in maintaining blood volume and cellular osmatic pressure and in transmitting nerve im­ pulses. Our body needs for sodium are not great. Intakes of 1,100 to 3,300 milligrams of sodium per day are con­ sidered safe and adequate for the healthy adult. To put these numbers into per­ spective, one teaspoon of salt contains approximately 2,000 milligrams of sodium. Even if you are no longer salting your food during cooking or at the table, many Americans consumer more sodium than they need. One way of consuming hidden sodium is in eating processed foods. Here’s one example, in a % cup serving of regular cooked cream of wheat there are two milligrams of sodium but if you use the same serving size of the mix’n eat cream of wheat in individual ser­ ving packages, the sodium content raises to 184 milligrams. “The Sodium Content of Your Food” booklet also includes sodium information on fast food and non­ prescription drugs.

Chris MacGregor of the Eaton Intermediate School District, and Kathy Feester will meet with the staffs of the elementary and Jr. and Sr. High schools on Friday, January 18. Beginning the week of Jan. 21, focus groups will meet with Feester to develop the survey and share concerns. Later, a discussion session will be held with two or three board members and staff members, groups, students, senior citizens and anybne with concerns. On Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. in the high school library, a draft session is to be held to discuss written concerns that will be considered for the survey. Beginning Monday, Feb. 4, the survey is scheduled to begin. Two telephone lines will be used in Vermontville, two at the high school and two in Nashville to call area residents and ask them questions. The calls are predicted to last an average of 15 minutes. After the survey has been a completed, printed document stating the community plan will be presented to the school board at its March 13 meeting. Howard Yost, principal of the Kellogg and Fuller schools, reported at Wed­ nesday’s school board meeting Wednesday that the addition of an extra fifth grade class is working “great.” There are now three sections of fifth graders at Kellogg school, with 20 students in each room. The board agreed to ac­ cept a bid of $1,430 from F&S Excavating to replace' the original sewer drains at Fuller school. The existing four-inch line that runs from the football field to the city lines was badly clogged when an excess of toilet paper and paper cups were forced down some toilets by vandals at the football field. A new six-inch line is to be installed. Maple Valley has recently received the results of the Michigan Educational Assessment tests that were given to the fourth, seventh and tenth grade students during the third week of September. Group results will be listed in the Maple Valley News, while parents interested in seeing their child’s individual scores can contact the school which their child attends to obtain the information. Students were tested in the areas of math and reading. Eight scholarships of up to $1,000 are available to seniors who complete a 150­ 200 word essay on “Why I should further my education,” and “why I should have a scholarship.” Ralph J. Seybold and Nash­ ville VFW Post 8260 will select the winners. Those wishing more information on the scholarships should contact Maple Valley High School Counselor Ward Rooks. The board approved a $1,572.06 non-teaching contract for Cindy Walker as part-time teacher aide in the fourth grade classrooms at Fuller Street School for the period of December 4, 1984 Nashville Baptist donates bus to Nashville Christian Academy The Nashville Christian Academy recently received a bus as a donation from the Nashville Baptist Church. Pictured with the bus from left are Pastor Taylor, Pastor Voyles, Pastor DeGroot and Max Eldred and son. By Shelly Sulser Thanks to a generous donation from the Nashville Baptish Church, students at the Nashville Christian Academy have access to transportation to special events. Pastor Lester DeGroot of the Nashville Baptist Church has presented a bus to the Nashville Christian Academy to be used to transport kids on field trips and athletic events. The bus was painted blue and white and lettered by Max Eldred’s Auto Body shop of Devine road, Nashville. On hand to accept the donation for the school was Pastor Voyles, superin­ tendent of the school and pastor of the Church of the Nazarene and Pastor Taylor, chairman of the school board. The Nashville Christian Academy, which is in its fifth year of operation, currently has 30 students enrolled in the kindergarten through 12 classes. The school, located in the building of the Nashville Church of the Nazarene, employs two full time teachers, two teacher’s aids, a reading technician and a treasurer. The Accelerated Christian E du cation (ACE) curriculum is used at the academy, said Pastor Voyles. This provides students with workbooks or “paces” so they can work at jtheir own pace. ’^Students who are interested may participate in intramural sports. Students in Audrey Watson's business block class demonstrated the new machin­ ery to the Maple Valley School Board Wednesday. Pictured with one of four new word processors from left are: Kim Roush, Karen Long, Dawn Pixley, Pam Wetzel, Chris Harshman, Vickie Clements and Gina Lehman, (seated). (Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) through June 4, 1985. She formerly worked as an aide under the special education grant through Eaton In­ termediate. The board agreed to transfer Pam Harvey from the Kellogg school to the central office effective at the end, of the grading period Jan. 1. Maple Valley has recommended that Pam’s replacement at the job when she was first hired there. Mary Hecker of the Hecker Insurance Agency of Nashville gave a general report on the school buildings and contents, boiler and liability insurance coverage.

Audrey Watson, business block teacher at Maple Valley Jr. Sr. High School, a made presentation regarding the new office block equipment recently received by the business department at the school. The business classroom now contains 22-electric typewriters, 11-dictaphone units and four-word processors. New calculators were also received. Until this school year, Maple Valley was the only school in the county that used manual typewriters. The new equipment is being leased for one dollar per machine from the Eaton Intermediate School District which pur­ chased the equipment. Watson is responsible for bringing about the changes in the business department, and, says School Board President David Hawkins, “She has brought this department a long way.” In other business, the board: —Approved teacher contracts for Mary Slag and Sheryl Berry. —Agreed that freshman girls be allowed to par- ticipate on the junior varsity reading of the recomfootball cheerleading squad mendation before the board provided that a freshman can approve it. football team in not being —Approved the installation sponsored.

Harvest Fe s• t cancelled d_ue to 'lack_ of_ interest' By Shelly Sulser “There will be no Harvest Festival until further notice,” Dick Chaffee, president of the Maple Valley Recreational Committee, Development told the Nashville Village Council Thursday. Chaffee said that there is simply not enough interest in the community to keep the harvest festival going. He explained that he had called several businesses and organizations in the area to ask for help and was told that representatives from those places would attend the monthly meeting of the MVRDC, but, according to Chaffee, they failed to show up. As a result, the festival has been called off until interest in reviving it is evident.. The MVRDC is now forced to find new methods of financing the operations and maintenence of Nashville’s Riverfront Park, he said.. Village President John Hughes stated that “There are sixteen hundred plus people in this community. It seems like we should have seven or eight people who would be willing to put that (festival) on.” In other business, a letter from Scott Civil Engineering, which is doing the preliminary engineering for the new Francis Street bridge over Quaker Brook, was read to the council. It stated that the State of Michigan’s History Division has completed the program data of the bridge, saying they have found that it has “no historical value.” The field survey and cross sectioning of the river bot­ tom have beeh completed, the letter said, and the company plans to prepare preliminary drawings for the project and meet with the Superintendent of the Department bf Public Works, Leon Frith, to discuss the types of bridges that might be used. The cost of the the engineering survey and design for the bridge,, as billed to the village by Scott Civil Engineering, is $1,338.49 The council voted to accept a bid of $18,863 from Frantz Buick and Chevrolet for a one-ton Chevy dump truck, to be used as a general purpose vehicle for the city. Council member Jerry Kent volunteered to serve as a delegate to attend the meetings of the South­ centeral Michigan Planning Council. The village council agreed to become of member of the SMCP, which provides help to communities . with programs and projects. At the next meeting of the council on Dec. 27, the council plans to hold a public hearing regarding a zoning change. The purpose is to rezone the propertry at 402 Kellogg from R-l residential to rural residential at the recommendation of the planning committee and at property the owners’ request.

An event that was a Christmas tradition for a good many years at the old South Maple Grove Methodist Church is being initiated this year at Nash­ ville United Methodist in hopes that it will become an annual custom. The event is called a Jesus Birthday Party, and is complete with birthday cake. Throughout the year parishioners traditionally saved pennies for the party and brought them as a gift, the goal often being to reach the number of the year (i.e., 1,984 pennies for 1984). The party is set for Sunday, December 30th, in the Community House following morning worship. Contributions this year have been earmarked for a project of installing storm windows at the church. Another tradition being revived this year at Nash­ ville United Methodist is the annual Christmas Eve service. The candlelight event will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, Dec. 24th, and is the first ofits kind at U.M.C. in a number of years. The public is invited to attend.

She and her husband, the late George Skedgell, were longtime local residents. Condolences are extended to the family in their loss. Nashville Village Hall will be closed a day and a half for each of the upcoming holidays. The office will be open only in the forenoon on Monday, Dec. 24, and again on Monday, Dec. 31. It will be closed all day Tuesday each week, of course, in ob­ servance of Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Senior citizens at the Nashville Nutrition Site enjoyed a potluck dinner Christmas party Saturday noon at the local Masonic Temple. It was decided to hold the event during the day, as it is more difficult for the seniors to get out in the evenings, as has been done in past years. The program featured seasonal readings, gs, Christmas carols and more. Entertainment was provided by members of a local church and Girl Scout By Susan Hinckley troops.

Nashville firefighters were called out Wednesday shortly after 9 a.m. to ex­ tinguish a small fire in a barn on the James M. Pierce property on Durkee Street. Nashville Fire Chief Doug Yarger said the fire may have been set by kids smoking. A hole was burned in the barn floor, said Yarger, and the incident is still under investigation by the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept. Wednesday afternoon, about 5 p.m., the Nashville firemen were again sum­ moned, this time to a vehicle fire in front of the market at Morgan on Thornapple Lake Road, northwest of Nash­ ville. Chief Yarger said apparently a “dead short” in a 1979 Chevrolet half-ton truck ignited the vehicle while its owner was inside the store, shopping. A passerby spotted the blaze and alerted the folks in the market, who called the NFD. Yarger said the vehicle is a total loss. The owner is a Freeport resident. Winter arrives officially Friday, but it was difficult for Maple Valley area residents to realize that Sunday, when thermometers shot up to a record in the low 60s. So far, December has been an unusually mild month. Sunday’s weather also brought some rain and high winds. Maple Valley School REPORT by Superintendent Carroll J. Wolff The Maple Valley Schools will dismiss for the Christmas holiday season at the close of school on Friday, Dec. 21. School is scheduled to begin again on Monday, Jan. 7, 1985. The first semester will end on Friday, Jan. 18; and school will not be in session on January 18. We will soon be nearing the end of another calendar year, and we should be thankful for the many op­ portunities provided us in­ cluding the numerous educational programs available here in Michigan as well as throughout the United States. At this time of year we can again look back with pride when we consider the achievements and general success of the students at Maple Valley. These achievements include both at the academic level as well as extra-curricular including band and athletics. The general. success in any school district is possible through the cooperative efforts of everyone. It is necessary that the school personnel have your con­ tinued support if the Maple Valley Schools continue to make educational improvements. A curriculum study committee is presently meeting to review the present curriculum along with consideration of a revised curriculum. Also, a community survey will be done early this coming year regarding the Maple Valley Schools. This combined information will be used to determine the type of educational program desired here at Maple Valley. The board of education members and school ad­ ministrators would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your past support, and we look forward to your participation in the .Maple Valley educational program in the future. We sincerely hope that all'of you have a happy holiday season. 5? Santa is coming to Vermontville...

In the past, Lois had made small trinkets, many of them Santa Clauses, and gave them away as gifts. Now, she still makes them as gifts, but concentrates more on adding to her collection. Lois begins with white plaster of paris type-molds which she purchases from a local ceramic shop, and skillfully applies the glossy paint which dries to display its lustre. Lois not only paints various sized Santa Clauses, but also makes Mrs. Clauses to accompany' Santa, plus Garfield and pig ceramic figures. Of course, Santa doesn’t really exist, and Lois remembers vividly the time that this was revealed to her. “I was about seven or eight,” she said. “My uncle, (who is about six months older than me,) and I got to talking about Christmas one day. He said, ‘There’s no Santa Claus, you know it’s your mom and dad, don’t you? Haven’t you ever found toys hidden in the house?’ I Lois Elliston displays a Santa and Mrs. Claus figurine which she painted, didn’t believe him.

The story covers his growing-up years in Nashville in the 1920-30s, and is the fourth such of­ fering by Howell. His earlier reminiscences appeared in May and December of 1983 and in July 1984. The son of the late Ransom and Florence Howell, the author moved to Nashville in 1918 at age four and remained here more than 20 years. After a 40-year absence, he made his first return trip to Nashville in 1983. We are indebted to him for the following account and for all of his earlier contributions to this column. The first of this series of articles appeared in the issue of November 27.) At the North End garage, where his Uncle William Howell once operated a blacksmith shop, young Guy was sent out on a wild goose chase after a fictitious "iron-stretcher." When the elaborate prank was revealed the lad was "peeved" but now he recalls it with humor. In this 1920s scene, the garage was owned by Charles Cool and Merrill Hinckleyjsecond and third from left, respectively). The building still stands on North Main’at Reed Street. car would just sit there and spin. Nashville bought a new fire truck. I believe it was a 1935 Model. It was called to a grass fire just outside of Nashville, and the two boys and I in that old Model T, kept up with the fire truck all the way to the fire. I asked Vern McPeck, who was driving the truck, why it wouldn’t go any faster. “I don’tknow,” he replied, “but I’m going to find out! I had the accelerator clear to the floorboard all the way.” He had it checked over and fixed so it would really get up and roll. I went hunting one time, in the winter, when there was clear ice on the river with no snow on it. I scared up a rabbit and he jumped off the bank onto that slick glare ice. He immediately skidded onto his side. Well, he scrambled around, trying to get up and get but of there, and he looked so funny that I couldn’t shoot. I just stood there laughing. There were holes in the bank that he was trying for, and finally, after skidding around on his side and scrambling around, he made it to a hole. I probably couldn’t have hit him if I’d shot, because I was shaking so much with laughter. I remember one time George Graham was on the sandpipe, fishing. He caught a few sunfish, too. I reckon the eggs had been drawn up with water from the river. One time, when I was flying with one of the barnstormers that came to Nashville for the Harvest Festival, I was trying to locate places and I saw a round, black spot. I found out later that we had been directly over the standpipe, at about 800 or 900 ft. altitude. In my younger days I was quite a kite flyer. Emma Gibson, who lived three houses east of us, was the official kite-maker for all the kids in the neighborhood. After I had been flying a kite for some time, I took a stab at making a kite for myself. I got a yardstick, split it down the middle, and fastened it together in a cross shape. Mother had some old pink silk that she gave me and I made my kite of that. I went over to Fred Ackett’s place and got a spool of carpet warp from his mother, who had a loom and wove car­ pets. I don’t remember how many yards of string was on the spool, but it was very strong stuff. One day I had the kite nearly out of sight over the river from our place. All of a sudden the wind dropped and the kite started falling. I did everything I knew how to a crank to wind it up. But it keep it up, but it kept on didn’t wind a spring.

DOLLS Lions fall to Charlotte beat Pennfield Friday The Maple Valley Lions upped their season mark to 2-1 last week after losing an exciting contest to Charlotte on Tuesday and winning their first league contest on Friday against Pennfield. The tall Charlotte squad had all they could handle on Tuesday in their 90-86 vic­ tory. The Lions dominated play early in the game, building a seven point lead early in the second quarter. Valley turnovers cost them their advantage and they led by two at the half, 47-45, on a last second shot by Gary Reid. Charlotte finally took the lead from Valley late in the third quarter after tieing the score five times. The visitors continued to slowly pull away, building a six point advantage with 1:53 remaining. Eaton County residents invited to workshop Eaton County youth and adult leaders are invited to attend the Youth ex­ periencing Action (YEA) workshop Jan. 11-13 at Kettunen Center, the state’s 4-H leadership training facility in Tustin. “The workshop is designed to teach the steps involved in planning, doing and evaluating effective com­ munity projects for youth involvement,” says Nancy D. Thelen, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent. “Young people 14 and older, 4-H volunteer leaders and others with interest in leading and facilitating youth in­ volvement in community service activities and community development are encouraged to attend.” There will be two workshop sections: --In workshop A, experiences and “hands-on” learning will help par­ ticipants gain skills and learn basic methods for organizing successful community service projects. Skills include selecting the right project, fund raising and project planning. -Workshop B is designed to provide more advanced information and skills for participants with previous YEA training or extensive community service experience. Reservations are due in your county Cooperative Extension Service office by Dec. 28. This workshop is spon­ sored by the Michigan 4-H Foundation through a grant provided by Country Fresh, Inc., of Grand Rapids, and Farm Credit Services of St. Paul, Minn. For more information about this workshop or other 4-H activities, contact the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service office, or call 543-2310 or 372-5594. The Lions hit only 26 of 42 at the charity stripe. A fact which may have changed the final outcome. Valley’s scoring was led by senior guard Jeff Hamilton who poured in 34 points. He also had stole 4 passes and hit 12 of 15 free throw at­ tempts. Senior guard Gary Reid netted 15 points for the ther shooting brought the hosts to within three points of Valley with 1:53 remaining to be played. The Lions used the charity stripe to maintain control of the game. Pennfield was forced to foul to regain possession of the ball and Valley used all 9 fourth quarter free throws to stay Sports Lions and teamed with Hamilton for a formidable back court combination. Kurt Hartenburg added offensive punch with his 17 points. Greg Lenz added 8 points and pulled down 7 rebounds. Also scoring for Valley were Ryan Trowbridge, 2; Shan Ferrier, 6; Alan Mater and Mike Siple, 2 points each. Friday’s contest was slow compared to Tuesday’s pace, but this time the Lions brought home the 56-51 victory. Valley totally dominated Pennfield for the first three quarters, leading 40-29 at the beginning of the final period. Then Lion turnovers com­ bined with some fine Pan- ahead. Greg Lenz and Ryan Trowbridge played a solid inside game, each netting 12 points and pulling down 7 rebounds. Jeff Hamilton added 14 points; Gary Reid, 7; Shan Ferrier, Jim Benit, Alan Mater and Kurt Hartenburg, 2 points each. Mike Siple also saw action.

We, in Eaton County, were hit with snowstorm after snowstorm, making many of us tem­ porarily homebound. Here are some foods to have on hand to get you .through those days when you can’t get to the store or when the power is out. You may want to purchase a variety of dairy products such as canned evaporated milk, powdered nonfat dry milk and instant cocoa mix. Cheese spreads in aerosal cans need no refrigeration until opened. Canned meats, fish and poultry provide good sources of protein, as does canned beans and peanut butter. Bakery products are not always easy to stoe but choose crackers that are wrapped securely and canned date and nut breads. Other foods to have on hand include nuts, jam, dried soups, tightly wrapped cooked, fruit juices and ready-to-eat cereal. With foods like these on hand, you can have meals even when the electricity is off. Meals may be less varied but you can increase quantities served to meet calorie and nutrient needs.

So the owner was about to foreclose, as he had done before, and had come to Nashville for that purpose. But the boys waved the long green in his face and he had to take it. That ended his little game. The boys put in another brand of gas and did a good business. We used to call those boys “Feather Merchants” after some characters in the Barney Google comic strip. They were small. One was a little more than 3M> feet tall, and the other was about 4 ft. 1 in. I think I was about 9 or 10 years old when I went to the North End Garage, where my Uncle William had a blacksmith shop at one time. I forget who was operating the garage, but they had a really big; tall stove in the place. I remarked that it was a big stove. The man said, “It wasn’t always that large. It used to be small, but we needed a larger stove, so we used an iron-stretcher on it.” I didn’t know too much about such things, so I asked if I could see the stretcher. He said, “I loaned it to a man and he hasn’t brought it back yet. Will you go over to his house and get it for me?” ACTION-ADS LOST: an older Tabby cat who looks like and answers to the name “Morris”, last seen Sunday night in the vicinity of Reed and Perrine Streets.

I got to the place, and the man said, “I don’t have the iron-stretcher now. I loaned it to another man.” Well, that kept up another two or three times. I was getting tired, so I went back to the garage and said, “I don’t believe your yarn about the iron-stretcher. You made that up to get me to run all over town, and the other fellows just went along with your joke.” They sure got a big laugh out of it, and I just turned around and left. I was peeved, but there wasn’t anything I could do about it. My brother, Frank, had a friend who owned a LincolnZephyr car. They went for a ride one day. Suddenly they heard a horn behind them and a car passed them. It was a 1937 V-8 Ford. It was new and the man was trying it out. He pulled in front of the Zephyr and slowed down, wanting a race. Frank’s friend accommodated him and passed. The Ford passed again. Both cars were going faster. They had done the passing maneuver several times, when Frank’s friend said, “I’ve had enough of this.” So saying he pushed on the accelerator and the car shot up to 120 mph. The Ford was going somewhere around 80 or 85 and it looked like he was standing still. The Lincoln-Zephyr’s hood looked very similar to the 1936 V-8 Ford, so the other man thought he was racing with another Ford. The difference was under the hood. The Ford was V-8 and the Zephyr V-12! Frank said they had quite a laugh over the “race”. I rode with a man north of Nashville who had a Cord front-drive car that was a V­ 16. That car sure had a long nose. He was travleing at about 105 mph. He said he had had it to 130 mph. To be continued next week.

Michelle Napier, educational director at the Borshead Theatre in Lan­ sing, taught Linda Andres’ students the fundamentals of playwriting, beginning with student participations in the form of improvisational acting. The students were given a specific subject for which they were to create a story by "add libbing” the dialogue. Napier explained that “we begin teaching playwriting through improvisatons. The students learn how to create dialogue, plot, conflict, characters, scenes and stage direction through improvisation,” she said. The students then wrote their stories on paper, in­ cluding all the essentials and details that plays include. Another exercise the students were given was to create a storyline. For in­ stance, they began with “two boys fighting.” The students divided into small groups to build the story, using dialogue and blocking, thereby entering into the story the action and the feelings of the imaginery characters.

Also discussed at this meeting was the possibility of purchasing some science kits for the fifth and sixth graders instead of using all their money for playground equipment. It was decided to purchase a fun ball for the playground with the rest of the money going for science kits. This money was raised through soap, wrapping paper and ornament sales. The P.T.O. purchased two artificial Christmas trees for the schools. Duo portraits will be coming up at the end of January. This year by the request of many junior high and high school parents, the portraits will also be taken at the junior-senior high. Please continue to save your Campbell Soup labels. Hopefully by the middle of January we can start collecting them.

The first bill waives a oneto-a-cell housing requirement covering buildings bought or con­ verted into prisons by the Department of Corrections next year for use through 1987. The measure will allow the state to keep ap­ proximately 1,000 inmates at the Detroit House of Correction (Dehoco) in Plymouth while the struc­ ture is remodeled for use as a 500-bed prison. The House also approved a second bill which appropriates more than $15 million for prison projects, including construction of an 80-bed prison camp in the Upper Peninsula, a 500-bed regional prison near Lapeer and a 400-bed maximum security prison in Ionia. Money was also included for the acquisition of prison sites in Detroit and Jackson, Macomb and Oakland counties. The double bunking measure and the funding are just the beginning in the state’s effort to solve the prison overcrowding crisis. Officials believe the crisis may well be developing into the most significant threat to public safety in years. Pressure on our prison system has given rise to the almost uncontrolled early release of inmates, generating a substantial increase in the number of violent offenders out on the streets after only months of detention. The crisis has also reopened concern about the Emergency Powers Act which was passed in 1980 as a temporary measure. The law calls for an emergency declaration by the Governor when prison capacity is exceeded. After each declaration, 90 days is subtracted from the minimum sentence of every inmate. Nine emergencies have already been triggered resulting in two years being taken off most inmate’s sentences. Governor Blanchard was so angered by this that he has refused to early trigger another release. Both the governor and the Legislature have a for­ midable task ahead of them in the next few years. The prison crisis will not disappear without proper funding and planning. We will have to decide which course to take in improving and maintaining Michigan’s prison system. The safety of every Michigan resident is at stake so we must find workable solutions to the problem. Unless we deal effectively with the crisis, by decade’s end we’ll be prisoners of our own short­ sightedness. New Law Requires Universal Imprint on Prescription Drugs All prescription drugs sold in Michigan must carry a universal imprint to assist medical personnel in prescribing antidotes for drug overdoses under the provisions of a recently signed law. Sponsored by State Representative Gary Randall (R-Elwell), the new law applies to drugs sold in oral dosage form. The drugs must be clearly marked or imprinted with a code identifying their manufacturer and chemical content. This law is especially important in the cases of accidental or intentional drug overdoses. If physicians or other medical personnel don’t know what kind of drug has been ingested, they can lose time in prescribing an effective antidote. Children who get into the medicine cabinet and adults who may confuse the directions on their prescriptions are particuiariy ■ vulnerable ~ro overdoses. I think it’s fair to say that this law will mean the difference between life and death for many in­ dividuals. Michigan is the 16th state to require universal im­ printing of drugs. The law will become effective June 1, 1985. Legislature Adopts $18 Million Supplemental Budget At the end of each year, the Michigan Legislature is asked to approve a sup­ appropriations plemental bill - additional funds beyond the guidelines of the existing budget. Frequently, this supplemental spending bill contains matching funds for federal programs that were not available when the original budget was ap­ proved. Often, emergency spending measures are included in the annual supplemental bill for such critical needs as en­ vironmental clean-up, in­ creased welfare caseloads, and restoration of cuts made in previous fiscal years. Much of the additional spending contained in a supplemental budget bill is unavoidable. But too often, the supplementall bill becomes filled with needless and expensive state-funded projects. In years past, millions of dollars have been lost through the sup­ plemental budgeting process. In fact, the bill is often referred to as the “Christmas tree bill” because of all the “or­ naments” attached to it. But not this year. House Republicans requested, and received, a minimal sup­ plemental bill devoid of any extraneous ornaments. No pet projects were added at the last minute, as had been the case in similar bills in recent years. What the bill did contain were simple basics. One item was a $600,000 ap­ propriation for the 1983-84 general fund budget to cover a shortfall in the Michigan Department of Public Health’s Crippled Children’s Program. The other ap­ propriation was $17.1 million for the Michigan department of Corrections, including funds for badly needed prison construction and expansion to ease the state’s chronic prison overcrowding problems. I am personally pleased that my colleagues in the Michigan House of Representatives agreed to forego the state’s annual year-end spending spree. And I am confident that this new era of fiscal responsibility can continue during the 1985-86 legislative session. Vietnam vets reminded of Agent Orange lawsuit deadline in January American Legion Post Commander Dean Hansen of Post 222 Vermontville reminds Vietnam veterans who are planning to take part in the class action lawsuit surrounding the issue of Agent Orange must file a claim by Jan. 2, 1985. Commander Hansen notes that failure to meet the deadline could permanently eliminate the veteran from taking part in the lawsuit action. Commander Hansen points out there is a simple form available to those Vietnam veterans interested in taking part and urges them to call 1-800-645-1355 for detailed information, if they are intending to be con­ sidered as part of the class action lawsuit. Agent Orange is a common name given to a defoliant used by the U.S. forces during the Vietnam War. Ever since the war ended, a controversy has prevailed regarding the potential health hazards resulting from exposure. Public Law 98-542 signed by President Reagan on Oct. 24, 1984 recognizes two physical conditions attributable to Agent Orange exposure. MSU to probe economic status of several agricultural industries All of Michigan’s agricultural businesses have been affected by adverse economic conditions, a trend that is likely to continue for the next several years. To improve understanding of this trend, the Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service . will conduct a series of statewide meetings that will address the economic outlook for specific sectors of Michigan agriculture. Called “New Economic Realities in Michigan,” the series will examine expected trends of each commodity area. Sessions for people associated with the state’s turfgrass and ornamental industry will be held in Wayne and Grand Rapids. The program will be conducted in Wayne on Jan. 8 at the Cooperative Ex­ tension Service and Educational Center, 5454 Venoy Road. The session in Grand Rapids will be held Feb. 15 at the Kent Skills Center, 1655 E. Beltline, NE. Each session will run from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Each session will examine the economic environment at the national, state and regional levels, and show how interest rates, the strong dollar, housing starts and population shifts are affecting the turfgrass and ornamental industry. “We will also take a critical look at business management and marketing strategies for Michigan’s changing economy,” says Will Carlson, MSU Extension horticulture specialist. Each session is free and open to anyone associated with Michigan’s turfgrass and ornamental industry.

Cold weather can cause problems to newborn and growing pigs TGE, E. coli scours, and pneumonia can cause serious problems for newborn and growing pigs. Floors in the farrowing and nursery areas can drop to 50 degrees F or lower. Piglets are unable to control or maintain their body temperature in this en­ vironment which predisposes them to in­ fections, reduces appetite, milk intake and growth. Floor temperatures can be maintained at 90 to 95 degrees F through the use of heat lamps or floor heating sources. The sow can be vaccinated for TGE and E. coli scours prior to farrowing to protect the newborn pig through her colostrum. Read the label instructions carefully to ensure proper use and dosage amounts. Vaccines for E. coli should contain the three pathogenic strains that cause problems (K88, K99, 987P).

Gina, a senior, was chosen by Maple Valley Staff members to receive the award, based on her display of good citizenship, cooperation with the staff, responsibility, and caring for fellow students. Staff members made recommendations as to whom they felt should receive the award to Rooks who was in charge of making the final decision. Rooks explained that the individual who received the most “votes” and had the most thoughtful, realistic ap­ praisal was the winner of the good citizenship award. Gina presently takes a two-hour office block course at Maple Valley, as well as government, sociology and band, and serves as a teacher’s aid in the bussiness department. She is the daughter of Loren and Mary Lehman of Vermontville, and plans to attend Argubright Business College Glad tidings and warmest greetings! We're wishing you nothing but the best. We're happy to have you for our friends! Gina Lehman of Vermontville is Maple Valley's recipient of the DAR Good Citizen Award.

An event that was a Christmas tradition for a good many years at the old South Maple Grove Methodist Church is being initiated this year at Nash­ ville United Methodist in hopes that it will become an annual custom. The event is called a Jesus Birthday Party, and is complete with birthday cake. Throughout the year parishioners traditionally saved pennies for the party and brought them to the party as a gift. The goal was to save enough pennies to reach the number of the year (i.e., 1,984 pen­ nies for 1984).- The party is set for Sunday, Dec. 30th, in the’ Community House following morning worship. Contributions are earmakred for a strom window project at the church. Another tradition being revived this year at Nash­ ville United Methodist is the annual Christmas Eve service.

A contribution also was received last week from Bunny Shaw. Except for $8,383 from government sources, most of the over $25,000 currently in the fund has come from private donations by individuals gnd organizations.

LITCHFIELD �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Monday, December 24, 1984 — Page 3 From our readers To the Editor: An aritcle appeared in the Tuesday, Dec. 11, 1984 issue of Maple Valley News, to which I would like to respond. The article headline read, “Local students named in Who’s Who among student­ s.” For those parents and readers that are unfamiliar with this type of program, this explanation may be enlightening. Students and-or parents receive sometime during the year, a notice that they have achieved academic excellence and are eligible for recognition in their publication. Eligibility criteria for recognition is vague. Membership lists are in­ complete and inaccurate. Some of the students whose names appeared in the ar­ ticle have already been graduated. The top student in this year’s class, plus others, were omitted. The major interest of Who’s Who is the sale of books to those individuals that are interested in seeing their name in print. The Michigan Association of Secondary School Prin­ cipals and National Association of Secondary School Principals both fail to recognize Who’s Who as a valid recognition of student achievement. The article in question was not prepared, authorized, or submitted by Maple Valley Schools. As principal of Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High, I do not recognize the publication of Who’s Who Among Students. Anyone having additional questions relative to this or similar programs, are encouraged to contact me at the junior­ senior high school. Our phone is 852-9275. Respectfully, Burr Hartenburg Principal (Editor’s Note: The article which Mr. Hartenburg discusses in his letter was received by the Maple Valley News as a press release from the publishers of the book.)

We are indebted to him for the following ac­ count, which commenced in the issue of November 27, and for all of his earlier contributions to this column.) MEMORIES OF NASHVILLE by Guy W. Howell When I was young, a shepherd dog took up at our place. He was friendly to the family, and was a good watchdog. The whole family used to go to town on Saturday night. Shep would go with us as far as our lot line, turn around and back onto the porch and lie down against the front door. A neighbor of ours wanted to see just what the dog would do if a stranger ap­ proached the house. He came up to the steps and the dog just lay there watching. He got on the first step, the dog sat up. The second step, the dog stood up. The third step, the hair raised up along the dog’s spine. When the man stepped on the porch, the dog snarled and headed for him, fast. The man turned and jumped the three steps, landing on the ground running. After he got off our place, he looked back. Shep was standing on the porch. He hadn’t left the porch, but he would have if the man had been slower. Later we became afraid that Shep would bite someone, especially children, of whom there were quite a few who came to our place. The man who had tried him out had a son-in-law who owned a farm. He asked if we would consider giving Shep to his son-in-law as a stock dog. We agreed, so Shep changed homes. A friend and I were staying at Thornapple Lake for a few days. We had our rifles along and were doing some target practice. We had had part of a small can of evaporated milk go sour, so we set that on a post near the cottage. I took aim and fired. That can jumped off the' post and started whirling end over end, throwing milk every time it went around. It stayed above the post and finally came down, landing in the same place it had been before I fired. We went up and looked at it. I had hit it right at the bottom of the can. The bullet went clear through, but the momentum had started the can spinning. We just stood there and laughed. Another episode happened one night when we had been down the lake and were returning to the cottage. There were other cottages, but they were all vacant. We were walking along, talking, when I was suddenly brought up short by a wire about 5 ft. above the ground. It startled me tnore than it hurt. We both had 5-cell flashlights, so Life was fun and moved at a more leisurely pace in the days of his youth, remembers Guy Howell, "in spite of the fact that we were living in the midst of the Great Depression." This 1930s southward view of Nashville s Main Street reflects the era Howell recalls when there was plenty of time to visit friends as well as share family activities at home. On fishing outings. Guy Howell and his friends stopped by the old mill on North Main to gather red worms from the piles of apple pomace dumped outside during cider-making season. One time, Howell and a buddy earned extra pocket money by diving under the mill's water wheel to clear it of spongy accumulation for owner Otto Lass, built in 1881 by Elder Philip Holler, the old mill was torn down in 1977 after serving the community almost continuously for some 90 years. I flashed my light along the wire and saw a glass in­ sulator. The wire had been an old radio antenna that had come down. My friend had his light on the insulator, so I raised my rifle and pulled the trigger. The wire dropped to the ground and bothered us no more. One year, when the Harvest Festival was going on, there was a barnstormer at the landing field, taking passengers. I went up with him and enjoyed it. A little later he was talking to someone about not having a parachute jumper. “My regular jumper broke his leg at our last place,” he said. “I sure do need a jumper. I’d pay $25 to get one.” After the other man had left, I went up to the pilot and told him I would take the job of parachute jumper. He looked at me for a moment, then said, “How old are you?” “Sixteen,” I told him. I couldn’t lie about my age, b< x vise I was small for my years. “I like your spunk,” he said, “what with knowing that my other jumper broke his ankle in a jump, but I can’t take you. You’re not old enough. Your parents would sue me if I let you do it, and I would probably have my pilot’s license revoked.” “I’ll get a waiver from my folks,” I urged. But he said, “I doubt if your folks would agree to a waiver.” Well, I knew my folks would never agree to my jumping from a plane, so that $25 took wings, and flew away. One of the contests they used to have at the Harvest Festival was what they called a slow bicycle race. The one who could ride the slowest, and not fall over or put his foot to the ground for a certain distance, would win a prize. My brother Frank was in one such race. His bicycle was all decorated with crepe paper until you could hardly see the pedals, or his feet. He was riding very slowly and a buddy of his was riding beside him. Frank told him that his (Frank’s) foot had touched the ground, so he pulled out of the race. I told about being in an auto accident in 1932 (in an earlier Memories column). Well, on the day Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated, March 4, 1933, I had slowly walked all the way down­ town with the help of my altered ski poles (used for canes). I looked at the time and saw it was nearly time for the Inauguration. I knew I couldn’t make it back home soon enough, so I went into John Appelman’s grocery store. John had moved his store to the Buxton Block. Afterwards I made my way slowly home. I was walking down a busy street in Kalamazoo one day when, about two or three blocks ahead of me I could see the head and shoulders of a man. I kept watch and when he was about opposite me I saw that he was a very Continued on next page nf OUR CHRISTMAS WISH TO YOU!

Monday, December 24, 1984 — Page 5 Memories continued tall man, not walking on stilts. He was slender, and must have been around 7 feet tall. I knew another man, whose mother lived in Nash­ ville. He came to visit her occasionally. He had the longest feet of anyone I ever saw. He wore size 16B shoes. The shoes were about the six inch height and had buttons down the sides. I was at the Barry County Fair one time, and a parachute jumper was going to make a triple jump. The plane went up and up until it was several thousand feet in the air. The jumper came out of the plane and fell a ways, and his first parachute popped open. He fell a little farther and started swinging, then pulled his second ’chute. It popped open beside the first. He fell a little farther and got to swinging in the opposite direction, pulled his third ’chute and it popped open beside the other two. Then he rode the three of them down. It was beautiful, and looked so graceful. They had an airshow at Battle Creek Airport that was very interesting. In one of the hangars some men were folding parachutes. It was really intricate work. Every fold had to be exactly right or the ’chute wouldn’t open. And ALL of that big parachute had to fit into a pack about 18 inches square by about 6 inches thick. It was really delicate work. There were a lot of planes at that show. The Army base at Camp Custer was using the municipal airport for their work. There were quite a few Boeing P-12F fighter planes and a few observation planes, all of them biplanes. Then there were several of the new Boeing fighters that were low-wing, and designated P-26A. That was the first low-wing plane I’d ever seen. They were fast, too: There were air races with civilian planes, and Jimmy Doolittle was there with his white Lockheed­ Vega that he’d named the “Winnie Mae”. Frank Hawks, another famous pilot, was also there with his Lockheed-Vega plane. I shook hands with both of them. My big ambition, at that time, was to be a pilot, but that ambition was never realized. There was a lady in Nash­ ville whose furnace I used to tend on my way to school, mornings. Then I would go over and bank the fire in the evening. It was an old steam furnace, and I was told it was very dangerous to let the steam get above 4 lbs. pressure. I went over one afternoon and savy that the pressure was above 4 lbs. and slowly rising. I opened the firebox door and, with a hoe, started pulling fire. The floor of the basement was made of concrete, so I just pulled the coals onto the floor. That steam gauge got nearly to 6 lbs. before it started down. I kept my eye on the cellar door, wondering if I could get out if the fur­ nace exploded, but knowing that I had to get that pressure down before it exploded and tore up the house. I did it, but I was one Mil pits ir^ » B ditsl. 1 Wilt r tad mlsuinsajk ®fl JOU rttaflfitiffl t|W ktaltahta isito ifflmjLsilitik, Hji inJWrib stelotttaM iMIriw slwh'ta Iranbfton jinn tetiEtaMI lia toiWfofii idem U its tad iW tail. taD. ptti i*"t*! stay sto inelsnM11"1*! d »y (^««'» cJEJYTQALL ng up best wishes of the for you & yours! Nashville Auto 112 N. MAIN, NASHVILLE tired boy when I got through. Then I had to put the coals back into the furnace to keep the pressure from going too far down. It sure was an exciting time. Duff Eddy used to drive a gasoline truck, and he also had the job of charging the batteries that gave elec­ tricity to the town of Morgan on Thornapple Lake. I rode out with him one time, and when we were about halfway there the truck suddenly veered off the road and went into a field. I thought Duff just did it to scare me, but he said, “No, I wouldn’t play with a gasoline truck on purpose.” We got out and took a look. The tie rod had come off, so the steering wheel wouldn’t control the wheels. Duff put it back on and tightened it, and we continued on our way with no further mishaps. I hitch-hiked to Alabama one summer. I had some aunts and uncles and cousins there whom I went to visit every summer. I met a boy from Battle Creek there in Alabama. I knew him, and he asked if I would go back to Michigan with him to help drive. He had a 1928 Chevrolet. I said I would, so one of my aunts fixed a lot of sausage sandwiches, made with biscuits. They also gave us half a bushel of peaches and, with the $5 we had between us, we started on our way. At that time it was about 850 miles from Athens, Alabama to Battle Creek, Michigan. (Freeways have since shortened it to around 600 miles.) We had several tires and tubes with us. I think we had about 5 or 6 blowouts, which we fixed. The weather was so hot that we could hardly hold our hands on- an inner tube, and the jack sank 2 or 3 inches into the asphalt pavement. They had a gas war on between Tennessee and Kentucky. Gas was 10 cents a gallon on the Tennessee side, and 9 cents in Ken­ tucky. We stocked up with gas. When we came to the Ohio River there as a toll of 25 cents per car and driver and 5 cents for each passenger, that we hadn’t figured on. We were running short on funds, so somewhere in Indiana the other boy had to sell his 5-cell flashlight for two gallons of gas. When we rolled into the yard in Battle Creek, we had just about two gallons of gas left in the car. We considered ourselves very fortunate. One time there was a fire in Nashville and they had fire hoses all over the street. A girl came down the street driving a car; Jim Hummel, who was the hydrant man, tried to flag her down, but visiting people, and time to have really enjoyed writing she wouldn’t stop and went do things together at home, my memories.

Allen, who was adopted by Lloyd and Evelyn Hill of Vermontville when she was two weeks old, has located her real mother and ten sisters, all of whom live in the Lansing area. “This is the most won­ derful experience I’ve ever had,” said Janet of finding her family. It all began when Janet, who is 37, decided try to locate her real family this past year. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hill, who “have been very supportive,” says Janet, held the key that was instrumental in unlocking the mystery. Since the time of her adoption from Sparrow Hospital in 1947, her parents (the Hills) had known that Janet’s last name had been Glassbrook. Left to right: Cornelius Aumick, Gory Pnesmon and David Dale We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We thank you very much for your business and hope to see you next year. Your friend... Gary QUALITY PAWN Janet immediately began searching for the name Glassbrook in numerous phone books from the surrounding areas. After finding one in Eaton Rapids and several in Lansing, Janet composed a letter and sent it to a person with the name of Glassbrookin Lansing. After it was evident that there was to be no response, Janet felt that she had come to a dead end. But not for long. This September, the search for her family took a complete turnaround, said Janet, a teacher at Maplewood School in Ver­ montville for 15-years. This is Janet’s story of how the mystery was unraveled: “Richie Krebs had enrolled in my class in September. His- mom, Darlene, and his aunt, Jan Driscal, both teach in the Eaton Rapids schools. They both came with Richie to open house here at Maplewood, and so I asked if they were familiar with the Glassbrook name. Jan had taught the Glassbrook children and knew the mom very well. Jan called Alvin and Marilyn (Glassbrook) and set up a meeting after school. Jan took me to see Alvin two weeks before Thanksgiving. When he walked out onto the porch, it was one of the biggest moments of my life. I could see my facial features in his face. It was the first time I’d resembled anybody! Alvin is my cousin, (my dad’s brother’s son).” The next weekend, Alvin took Janet to Lansing to meet a sister for the first time. When she arrived at 2996 N.

Linda Addiss’ house, “we practically knocked Alvin over! He just sat down and watched all the hugging and kissing and tears!” said Janet who lives in Otsego with her two sons, Aaron, 12 and Ryan, 8. “As if that wasn’t thrill enough, sitting on Linda’s couch were two more of my sisters, Sandy Michaud and Bonnie Furr, both of Lan­ sing,” she said. “It was like we had never been apart.” Janet’s family was separated at Christmastime in 1949, when three of the four oldest children were adopted by relatives of the Glassbrooks. Later, when the other seven, possibly eight (Janet may have a twin) children were born, they were immediately adopted, as in Janet’s case. Now, nearing the end of the Christmas season and thirty-nine years later, the family is toghether again, with exception of Janet’s father and only brother who have both passed away. Recently, Janet and four of her ten sisters who range in age from 46 to 26, were reunited with their mother, Lucia Schumacher who lives in Holt. Most of her sisters had known each "other all along, said Janet, but never really got together until Janet was found. Janet also recently learned that her sister, Cindi Hammond who now lives in Olivet, had attended Maplewood school as a kindergartener at the same time that Janet was a senior at Maple Valley. “Her name was Cindi Lumbert then,” she said. “It’s possible that we rode the same bus.” Most of Janet’s family is planning to join her at her home tomorrow for a Christmas gathering. “I’ve always longed for sisters and brothers.

The Castleton-Maple Grove Fire Department received the call at 9:20 p.m. Sunday after 19-year-old Rosemary Oakley, daughter of the Beardslees, discovered the fire. Two foster care residents, Millie Griffon and Gloria Beaudrie were also home at the time the blaze was discovered, but were safely vacated. Four other foster residents had gone home to their families for the holidays. The fire consumed the house and its contents, with the exception of some money and state records that firemen were able to salvage from a safe. Hastings and Vermontville tankers were also called to the scene to aid in dousing the fire, which took four to five hours, Yarger said. Firemen used shovels to dig through the rubble of the collapsed roof in order to reach the kitchen floor which they then tore through to reach the basement where Yarger feels the fire originated. Firefighters left the scene at 3:45 a.m. The Beardslees are currently staying at the home of their neighbor, Leo Carroll. A blaze last week caused extensive damage at the Beardslee foster care home on Maple Grove Road. Plans begin on proposed senior citizen housing project for area By Shelly Sulser A senior citizen housing project, proposed by Oak­ wood Development Cor­ poration of Grand Ledge, is in its preliminary stages for Nashville. Nashville Village Council members Thursday voted to approve the project after Mike Davis, a representative of the company, requested a letter of approval from Village President John Hughes. The proposed housing project is slated to be built on property near Fuller School. The northern 2Mi-acres of the property is to be used for the project. Farmers Home Administration will make the final descision as to whether the project is to be completed. Twenty-four units are to be included in the senior citizen home and monthy rent to residents will possibly be in Snow keeps kids busy during holiday vacation the neighborhood of $175$195, according to Davis, Interest rates would be subsidized by Farmers Home, thereby lowering the cost to residents. The council’s letter of approval will state that it has no objection to the building of the senior citizen home and that such a project would be an asset to the community of Nashville. Hughes also plans to get Potterville’s evaluation of a similar project recently completed there. In other business, a public hearing was held to rezone the property at 402 Kellogg from R-l residential to rural residential for the purpose of installing a business on the premises. The council agreed to rezone the property, Hughes told the council that Superintendent of the Department of Public Works Leon Frith has reported that there is. a water leak somewhere in town that is costing the city an additional $135 a month. The leak has not yet been located. Hughes also reminded the council that the time for drawing a new city budget is close at hand. The new budget is to be completed sometime in January, he said.

Riegle Two local residents are among the names of 56young men and women from Michigan that have been nominated by U.S. Senator Donald W. Riegle Jr. (DMich. ) to the nation’s Armed Service academies including the Military Academy at West Point, Naval, Air Force and Merchant Marine. Daniel Lykins of Nashville has been nominated to the Air Force Academy and Harold Stewart Jr. of Ver­ montville to the Merchant Marine Academy. “It is an honor and a privilege to have this op­ portunity, as a member of the United States Senate, to nominate such highly qualified young people to our Service academies,” Riegle said. The nominees were chosen from more than 550applicants from throughout Michigan. To ensure the highest caliber nominations, Riegle formed six-regional screening committees across the state. The Senator and the academies rely heavily on the results of these com­ mittees’ personal interviews with each applicant. After reviewing their qualifications, motivation and maturity, each com­ mittee then makes final recommendations to Senator Riegle, who uses the allcompetitive nomination method. Under this method, he submits 10-names for each vacancy to be filled and the academy makes the final selection ofthe best qualified from among that group of nominees. For 1985, Senator Riegle had five vacancies to fill, in addition to his annual quota of 10-nominees to the Merchant Marines Academy. It is possible for an academy to offer more than one-appointment from each group of nominees, but only one would be charged against the total number allocated to Riegle. Last year, the Senator nominated 57-applicants to fill vacan­ cies and seven-applicants to Merchant Marine. However, the academies selected 27 of these students for appointment. The cost of educating each cadet is approximately $25,000 per year. Last year’s appointments, then, represented a federal in­ vestment of $2.7 million for four-years of top quality education. Each student will be committed to spend no less than five-years in the service following graduation. Admission to the United States Service academies- is based on scholastic examination scores, physical aptitude scores, high school class standings, leadership potential, medical examinations, and is determined on an in­ dividual basis through evaluation of the “whole person.” Riegle said, “One way of insuring our country’s continued military leadership in the world is through a good, strong, dedicated officer corps. Michigan nominees will lend themselves to that effort. They are outstanding young men and women.-’ A wish for kindness and peace in our lives each day of the coming New Year.

A coverlet of snow that arrived on the 24th, just in time for Christmas, gave our region a white holiday. Temps on Tuesday were in the high teens. The snow covering was a special delight to youngsters who found sleds or skis under the Yule tree, but the day after Christmas brought in even greater thrill to those winter sports buffs. Some five to six inches of the white stuff inundated this area, com­ mencing in the early af­ ternoon Wednesday. Gleeful children on sleds were seen sailing down snow-covered slopes on North Main Street hill and other traditional sledding spots in the village. Springlike rain and ther­ mometers soaring near 60 had washed away virtually all traces of winter as this report was being prepared Friday. Lots of local folks enjoyed having loved ones come home for the holiday. One of those who returned to Nash­ ville for a brief Christmas visit was Kathy Kelley, daughter of Max and Lynn Kelley, proprietors of Kelley’s Variety Store.

The kits include seeds, planting instructions, a planting container, and a growing medium. The students just add water,” Rosenow said.

Meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m. John Hughes, President Susan Corkwell, Clerk December 27, 1984 Walnuts Give Breakfast A Lift Monday through Friday, it’s enough .to grab a quick breakfast of cereal, toast and juice. But on the weekends, grills sizzle with meats, pan­ cakes or waffles and the morning meal is enjoyed at a calming, leisurely pace. With more time to prepare and enjoy it, breakfast be­ comes the highlight of the weekend, a special meal to savor and celebrate two glori­ ous days of relaxation away from a hectic weekday schedule. Something special is re­ quired to turn a weekend breakfast into a grand occa­ sion. Something as special as California walnuts — crisp, crunchy and delicious! Country Apple Walnut Syr­ up, made by adding sliced apple, cinnamon and chopped walnuts to basic maple syrup, is an easy way to dress up pancakes, waffles or French toast. The result is a sensa­ tional syrup that enhances traditional breakfast foods and puts them into the weekend, super-special category. While walnuts add tantalizing flavor and texture to give breakfast a lift, their benefits go beyond good taste. These delicious nuts from California offer good nutrition, too. Walnuts provide vegetable protein and fiber, as well as certain B vitamins, vitamin C, and important minerals in­ cluding iron, potassium, phos­ phorus, copper and zinc. While walnuts taste rich, they are low in saturated fat and sodi­ um and are cholesterol-free. For a special weekend break­ fast or a quick-to-fix weekday starter, try some of these nut­ ty-good breakfast ideas: • Top French toast with sliced, fresh bananas, chopped wal­ nuts and a sprinkling of cinnamon-sugar. • Combine walnut pieces with dried apples, raisins and a dash of cinnamon and nut­ meg. Pack in plastic sand­ wich bags for breakfast-onthe-run. clude the implications of high technology research for the beef industry, guidelines for more efficient cow-calf production and cattle feeding practices, and changes needed in feedlot operation management. MSU agricultural economists say that the fairly strong market will stem from a combination of lower feed costs, a slightly stronger economy, less competition from hog production and a two to three percent reduction in beef production during 1984. Details of the convention may be obtained by con­ tacting Harlan Ritchie, Department of Animal Science, MSU, East Lansing, MI 48824. • Knead chopped walnuts into yeast bread doughs and add-to banana bread and other quick bread batters. • Dollop hot cooked cereals with yogurt. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and drizzle with maple syrup. • Serve bread pudding for breakfast—it has eggs, bread and milk in one convenient dish. Add coarsely chopped walnuts for appealing crunch and flavor. • Add finely chopped walnuts to pancake or waffle batter. COUNTRY APPLE WALNUT SYRUP 1 cup maple or maple-flavored 3 tablespoons butter or margarine syrup 14 teaspoon cinnamon 14 cup honey Dash salt 1 large apple, peeled and thinly sliced (about 214 cups) 1 cup chopped walnuts Squeeze of lemon juice In saucepan combine syrup, honey, apple, butter, cinnamon and salt. Bring slowly to boil, stirring. Reduce heat; simmer 8 minutes. Stir in nuts and lemon juice. Serve hot over pancakes, waffles, French toast or ice cream. Syrup may be stored in covered container in refrigerator for several days. Reheat over low beat. Makes about 2 cups. Would you like more exciting ways to use America’s favorite nut?

Raking, instead of shoveling, is an alternative for removing that snow relaxed,” cautions Dr. Jody Rogers, chairman, exercise committee, American Heart Association of Michigan. “When it comes time to use that snow shovel, you should already be in good condition. Snow is heavy, and lifting puts a strain on your heart. “First thing to do is see your doctor for a check up if you have a heart condition or are over 40 years old.

Ford. Exemplifing the optimism and relevance Scouting maintains, the theme for the 75th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America is ap­ propriately “Pride in the Past ... Footsteps to the Future”. cold weather puts an ad­ ditional strain on the heart, so outdoor activities should be controlled. Besides shoveling, many people find themselves helping a neigh­ bor by pushing a car out of the snowbank. That type of activity puts a lotof strain on your upper body and heart. Strain you shouldn’t have unless you know your body can handle it. “The day to get in con­ dition is not the day the first snow flies. And conditioning will take more than a day. Snow shoveling is strenuous as it combines lifting heavy snow, turning, and throwing. The fact that you’re out in the cold means your heart is working overtime to help keep you warm. “There are alternatives to shoveling if your doctor advises against it. You can hire a plow, use a snow blower (but keep in mind this involves the exercise of pushing the plow through the snow), or you can try raking the snow. Rather than using a shovel, try using a rake with a piece of cardboard woven through the tines. The raking action eliminates the load ofheavy snow you use to lift,” Dr. Rogers said. The idea is to take the snow off the driveway as you would leaves off the grass. You’ll find the action is much easier on the body. If there’s a lot of snow, start on the top and take down. “Raking is not an alter­ native for everybody,” Dr. Rogers said, “But for those who have their doctor’s approval to be exercising in the cold, it could be a viable alternative.” Dr. Rogers offered some tips for going out in cold weather. -Dress warmly - and that includes wearing a hat. A majority of body heat is otherwise lost through the head. -Remember speed is not of the essence when shoveling, staying within your physical limitations is. -Start a conditioning program under your doctor’s direction to help develop your cardiovascular systefft for the rigors of winter. -Try raking snow rather than shoveling it. -Know the warning signs of heart attack. “Being cautions is your best defense against the rigors of cold weather ac­ tivity,” Dr. Rogers com­ mented. “Take your time and stay healthy.” For the booklet “Heart Attack Survival Kit” and other literature on exercise, nutrition, and car­ diovascular disease, contact your local office of the American Heart Association of Michigan, a United Way Agency. A weekly report from - ERNEST NASH State Representative HOUSE ENDS SUCCESSFUL LEGISLATIVE SESSION The Michigan House of Representatives finished the 1983-84 legislative session on Saturday, Dec. 8, after approving legislation that will ease prison overcrowding, the final bill on the House calendar. The Legislature left the state with a budget surplus estimated to be over $300 million and a partial roll-back of the 38 percent income tax rate increase. HOUSE APPROVES SUPPLEMENTAL PACKAGE Before the Legislature adjourned, an $18 million sup­ plemental appropriations bill was adopted that includes $17.8 million for new prison construction. TWO-FOR-ONE DRINK BAN - The Legislature’s Joint Committee on Administrative Rules has approved a proposal submitted by the Michigan Liquor Control Com­ mission that calls for a ban on the sale of two-for-the-priceof-one alcoholic drink specials beginning next month. The measure, which is supported by the Commission and the Michigan Licensed Beverage Association will not become official until the Liquor Control Commission formally adopts the ban. “UNDER 21” TO APPEAR ON MINORS’ LICENSES The words “Under 21” will be printed in bold type on the licenses of all Michigan drivers between the ages of 16 through 20V2 years under a measure approved by the Michigan House and Senate. The bill, H.B. 5804, still requires the signature of the governor before it becomes law. The legislation will make it easier for restaurant and bar owners to comply with the state’s drinking law. PRUDENT PURCHASER ARRANGEMENTS Legislation establishing “prudent purchaser arrangements” between health providers and health in­ surers has been adopted by the Michigan Legislature. The PPAs are designed to keep the cost of health care down by creating competition among doctors, hospitals and health care delivery services and providers for health insurance company contracts. ABUSED CHILD PROTECTION - The Michigan House and Senate have approved a bill that will extend greater protection to abused children-by requiring school officials and hospital personnel to cooperate more fully in in­ vestigations of suspected child abuse. The bill includes emergency room personnel, psychologists and family therapists.
