January 6. 1987 Dispute heightens over Superintendent's evaluation Nearly 200 area residents and school employees attended the special school board meeting Dec. 29 in the high school cafetria to hear discussion concerning board policies and evaluation procedures, left. At right are co-chairmen of the Concerned Citizens for Responsble School Board Action Russ Furlong, left, and Jerry Brumm, right. by Shelly Sulser Six members of the Con­ cerned Citizens for Responsi­ ble School Board Action com­ mittee planned to meet with the Maple Valley Board of Education policy committee last night to inquire further about a recent evaluation of Superintendent Carroll J. Wolff. The confidential results of the school board evaluation ignited controversy last month when the superintendent re­ quested a six-week sick leave, causing members of the com­ munity to question whether Wolff was a victim of undue pressure by the board because of an evaluation that may have been negative. A doctor’s note to the board said Wolff was suffering from stress and a pre-existing heart condition. Co-chairmen of the citizens group, Russ Furlong and Jerry Brumm, told the board at a special meeting Dec. 29 that their members were “shocked and outraged to discover that our superinten­ dent is ill possibly due to ac­ tions taken by this board.” Furlong said his committee The Maple Valley Board of Education announced it joins the concerned citizens in support of Superinten­ dent Carroll Wolff at the meeting last week. was formed to show support for Wolff, and claimed 700 signatures had been collected by petition' in support of the 56-year-old superintendent. “Our purpose is to come to mutual agreement on certain items and (to obtain an) ex­ planation of policy on others,” Furlong told the board. Although Furlong said Wolff had not communicated to the citizens’ committee the results of the evaluation, Furlong’s group now feels they can “more accurately speculate that our suspicions about the board’s evaluation are true,” according to a prepared statement. The state­ ment was released to the public after a published com­ ment by board Vice-President Loren Lehman which said the citizens’ group “knows the evaluation is negative.” A Dec. 8 letter from school board member Ronald Tobias to the board also indicated Wolff may have received a poor assessment. “I want to be on record to apologize to Carroll Wolff for the results of the evaluation and to say 1 think he does a good job...” Tobias stated in the letter. Wolff, the only one who can release the evaluation results, said Friday he had not decided whether or not he would do so upon his return to work. Furlong said Monday he felt the board’s evaluation pro­ cedure needed to be question­ ed “from the structure of the form and statements that we had heard.” Using the evaluation form adopted by the board, members can assess the superintendent by using an “evaluation- scale” of 0-3. The number “3” is to be used where the board member feels the superintendent exceeds ex­ pectations; “2" for “meets Board continuedpage 9 Five to vie for three Nashville Village Trustee positions Sue Kienutske by Shelly Suiser Two incumbents and three newcomers will vie for three available trustee seats on the Nashville Village Council in the village primary election next month. The five — incumbents Ben Mason and Sue Kienutske plus Sidney Green, Raymond Hin­ ckley and Don Williams are Republicans seeking two year trustee, terms, said Nashville Village Clerk Pam Godbcy. Mason will seek to retain the council post he was ap­ pointed to in July. Mason, of 733 Reed St. serves as chair­ man of the Nashville Depart­ ment of Public Works Com­ mittee and is a member of the finance committee and fire board. Kienutske of 209 Washington St. is seeking reelection to the village seat she was appointed to fill in April because of a vacancy. Kienutske had lost a bid for a council seat in last March’s election. Trustee Richard Chaffee, Jr. who has served on the Ben Mason council since April 1, 1983, chose not to seek reelection. Godbey said. Longtime Nashville resident and former council member Raymond Hinckley of 601 Reed St. hopes to again become a part ofthe Nashville governmental unit. Former council candidates Sidney-Green of 255 Fuller Sidney Green St. in Nashville and Don Williams of 325 Maple St. are also seeking election to the Nashville Village Council in the Feb. 16 primary. The election could be decid­ ed in the primary, if there are no successful write-in cam­ paigns in the general election because all candidates are Republicans. �The Maple Valley New*. Nashville.

Since we no longer have the Nashville News column as a forum for input, additions or corrections to the Memories series, we will periodically use this page for a bit of “this and that” pertaining to various earlier articles. First of all, at this writing, former local resident Guy Howell, a frequent con­ tributor to this column, is in the intensive care unit of University Hospital at Tuc­ son, Arizona. He is there due to complications following open-heart surgery in December. We talked by phone with his wife, Florence, last week and she assured us that Guy is in good spirits. We hope he can be home celebrating a belated Christmas with his family by the time this writing appears in print. Howell, who lived in Nashville as a youth, has been a friend of this column since 1982, when he first wrote a piece for us on the old Culp Bakery where he was employed when young. In subsequent years, 1983 through 1986, Howell has contributed a series of his boyhood recollections of Nashville. The collection of his work now has been pro­ duced in book form as “Memories of My Life in Nashville,” and a copy is available for reading at Put­ nam Public Library. Guy moved to Nashville in 1918, at age four, with his parents, the late Ranson and Florence Howell, and remain­ ed here through the Great Depression years of the 1930s. We are sure he would enjoy hearing from his old friends and acquaintances in Nashville. All wish him a speedy recovery. His home­ address is 6911 W. Flying W„ Tucson, AZ, 85746. On another topic, in a few recent Memories columns on early Castleton Township history, we mentioned Jonah B. Rasey, one of the earliest settlers. Since that time his great-grandson Nelson Rasey of Nashville has provided us with a copy of a story about Jonah that appeared in The Nashville News on February 25, 1909, on the occasion of Rasey’s 85th birthday. The ar­ ticle follows: Jonah B. Rasey, Oldest Liv­ ing Pioneer of Castleton Township Still Enjoying Life The News presents to its readers this week an excellent likeness of Jonah B. Rasey, who celebrated his 85th birth­ day last Monday. While his sojourn on this mundane sphere has extended 15 years beyond the biblical allotted age ofman, he is still vigorous and in full possession of all faculties. He is as sprightly as most men of 20 years younger, his eye is bright and clear, his sight excellent, his memory unimpaired. He is glowing tribute to the doctfine of hard work and clear conscience. Mr. Rasey was born at Parisville, St. Lawrence County, New York, February 22, 1824. He came to Castleton Township in 1837, at which time there were but six white settlers in the township, these being Loren- zo Mudge, Anson Seeley, Ke­ nyon Mead, Dimmick Ben­ nett, Max Field and Proctor Wilkinson. At that time there were no houses where Nashville now stands, and bears, deer, wolves and other wild animals had almost un­ disputed sway, along with the Indians, of whom there were many. Although he never went hunting himself, Mr. Rasey killed many deer, mostly to prevent them from destroying crops, and would go out and kill them. There were prac­ tically no domesticated animals here at that time, yet they never lacked for meat, while wild turkeys and other game birds were also plentiful. At one time Mr. Rasey, Mr. Wilkinson and others got after a big bear with three cubs. They treed them, cut the tree down, and the cubs got away. The others took after the cubs and the old bear came for Rasey, who was armed only with a big club, and for a time there was a lively scrimmage, but Mr. Rasey finally suc­ ceeded in getting in a good blow across the bear’s nose with the club, knocking her down and finally succeeded in dispatching her. Wilkinson’s dog was of great assistance during the melee, worrying the bear by ripping her sides with his sharp teeth and in this way distracting her attention from Mr. Rasey for a part of the time. The old bear weigh­ ed 400 pounds, and they got $52 for the hide and tallow. There were many wolves in the woods at that lime, and Mr. Rasey remembers one which he caught in a trap. He had heard that wolves were At one time, early Castleton Township pioneer Jonah B. Rasey had an opportunity to trade a yoke of oxen for 40 acres of land lying south of what now is Sher­ man Street, including both sides of South Main Street (seen in this circa-1909 photo), but didn't take the offer, which came from early Nashville resident Alanson Phillips. The land in question is now part of one of several Phillips Additions to the village. Rasey operated a dray line in Nashville for 21 years. cowards and he walked up to the trap and the wolf laid down and allowed him to stroke its back. They made nightly music along the Scipio and Thornapple, and it was a long time before they were finally driven out. When (the settlers) moved into this country, they carried most of their belongings on their backs, and they had to pack all of their supplies from Battle Creek. Mr. Rasey paid $20 per barrel for flour, and a dollar per barrel to have it hauled from Battle Creek by one of the two yokes of oxen in the vicinity. Mr. Rasey was postmaster of the village about 45 years ago, and for 21 years con­ ducted a dray line in the village. At one time he could have traded a yoke of oxen to Alanson Phillips for the 40 acres lying south of what is now Sherman Street, and which takes in both sides of South Main Street. Mr. Rasey has an excellent memory and it is very in­ teresting to listen to tales of the times when the country hereabouts was a wilderness. Our third subject, today deals with an item that ap­ peared in our column of Dec. 16, 1986, which looked back at what was “news” in Nashville exactly 60 years ago. One article noted that Len W.

WM.Wiii ita fat fan, HI a To The Editor: After attending the open meeting held in the Legion Hall in Vermontville on Dec. 22 and the special meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education on Dec. 29, I have felt a compelling urge to ex­ press my personal feelings. First, I wish to commend both Russell Furlong and Jerry Brumm for their leader­ ship in organizing our com­ munities in support of Superintendent Carroll Wolff. As a senior citizen who has returned to this area after teaching and counselling in various school systems for over 50 years, I have taken a special interest in the achievements and success that come to the students at Maple Valley. Needless to say, quality, education doesn't just happen! It comes from the en­ couragement given by dedicated teachers. Likewise, behind effective teachers is a competent and supportive superintendent. Few in this community are unaware of the high calibre of the contribution that Superintendent Carroll Wolff is making to the education of the students at Maple Valley. Respectfully yours, Martha Zemke £a tatSfflttad I JatMHii jtjj Jto’sHfe ut lit li|k 1111'1 te to® SWfW H feowM^ JrfgAiH fgAiH jaKmiltei®® ' Idi*. ^thist hist as valuable as ever If you are not covered by a company pension plan, the new tax law still allows you to tax-deduct all your IRA payments.

Yankee Springs State Park has some cabin accom­ modations which are available year around. Inquire at the Park headquarters if you are interested in using these. January 26 is the official Statehood date. A ceremony at the Barry County Court House is being planned, featuring the reading of the Proclamation of Statehood Sesquicentennial year, a flag raising ceremony and band music. The County’s fire departments are going to be asked to sound the sirens and the churches will be asked to ring their bells at 12 Noon on that day to mark this special historical time. Dick Reed of the Hastings Kiwanis Club presented plans for a new Recreational Vehi­ cle Sanitation Service Area which is to be located on city property west of Cass Street. Kiwanis is heading up a fund raising effort to finance con­ struction of the dump station and purchase the necessary equipmentxfor it. The cost of this is estimated at approx­ imately $2,500. The group is also planning to establish an overnight parking area at the Barry Colunty Fairgrounds to accommodate transient recreational vehicles. Dona­ tions toward the Kiwanis pro­ ject may be sent to P.O. Box 38, Hastings, Michigan 49058. The next meeting of the Council will be held on January 8 at Sam’s Other Joint, Gun Lake at 12 Noon. Plan to join us there. High School to hold meeting about ‘Financial aid awareness’ Financial aid totaling more than $500 million is available each year to Michigan college students. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of or confused about the applica­ tion process and so never take the time to apply. To promote awareness of the availability of financisl assistance, Governor James Blanchard has declared January 1987 “Financial Aid Awareness Month” in Michigan. He is supported in these endeavors by Bo Schembechler and George Perles. Financial aid is awarded to students on the basis of need, merit, or both. Funds are pro­ vided through federal, state, private, and college and university sources. Most col­ leges, universities, communi­ ty colleges, and vocational- School Board continuedfrom page one- expectations”; “1” for “does not meet minimum expecta­ tions” and “0” for “cannot evaluate.” Lehman explained the results are then compiled by adding the figures and dividing the sum by the number of those who par­ ticipated in the procedure. He also added the written com­ ments of each board member are also included in the final evaluation composite, with each member remaining anonymous. The board was also ques­ tioned concerning a Dec. 13, 1986 letter sent to Wolff by Hawkins requesting Wolff to refrain from appearing on school property during his leave of absence. “He is a taxpayer of this community and ifhe wishes to attend an athletic event he should be entitled to do so,” said Tom Joostbems. Hawkins said that although he had consulted his attorney before sending the letter, he admitted it may have been worded poorly. Later in the meeting, Furlong was accused by local resident Bernie Garvey ofput­ ting words into Carroll Wolffs mouth, and causing him additional stress by creating the controversy. But with the more than 200 in attendance at the special board meeting held in the high school cafeteria, Wolff, who was not present, later said that “when you work in a com­ munity a great number of years like I have, it makes you feel good to know people are concerned about school opera­ tions and what’s going on.” Concerning the meeting with the board policy commit­ tee, made up of Hawkins, Dale Ossenheimer, and Lehman, Furlong said his committee planned to ask fur­ ther questions concerning the superintendent evaluation, but would not state specifically what would be discussed. technical schools offer a variety of financial aid programs. College financial aid offices have expert staff on hand to answer the important ques­ tions and provide the necessary forms to help each student get the financial aid needed to attend the college of his or her choice. In addition, high school guidance counselors work hand in hand with the colleges to provide complete and up to date information. Several Michigan colleges Nashville Baptist to hold sanctitcy of Life Concert and high schools are hosting financial aid information ses­ sions to distribute application forms and review various pro­ grams available. Maple Valley High School will host such a session at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 8 in the high school library.

Just how much more money is hard to pin down because it depends upon the individual’s ability to manage. But just about everyone associated with dairy herd management in the Michigan State Univer­ sity Cooperative Extension Service believes that farmers could substantially increase their profit margin. To show how to do this is the purpose of an all-day workshop Jan. 14 in Kalamazoo, at the Fairgrounds County Building. It’s called “Raising Dairy Heifers for More Profit Through Better Management: Nutrition, Breeding, Health and Housing.” “We’re not saying that pro­ ducers are doing a poor job,” says Bill Bickert, MSU Exten­ sion agricultural engineer. “But producers are overlook­ ing some areas of manage­ ment. We’ve developed some new ideas that can also help them do a more profitable job.” The workshop will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The $15 fee includes the noon meal and a workbook that contains nine publications on calf production — from economics < to breeding im­ provement guidelines — plus worksheets for the session. Topics to be covered in­ clude raising, contracting or buying replacements; cost­ conscious feeding programs; preventive medicine before birth to freshening; breeding heifers to calve at 24 months; and building and remodeling replacement facilities to enhance management. The speakers will be drawn from the MSU Extension field staff, the MSU departments of Agricultural Engineering and Animal Science, and the Col­ lege of Veterinary Medicine. Prior registration for the workshop is required so that meals can be arranged and educational materials prepared for all participants. Registration forms are available from the county Cooperative Extension Ser­ vice office.

November after it was learned that the federal revenue shar­ ing program would be discon­ tinued and that falling interest rates would put a dent in the police budget. Sampson had told Vermont­ ville Village President Sue Villanueva there was a possibility that the township would no longer be able to participate in funding the department. As a result, Villaneuva announced that if the township no longer would contribute, the village could not support the service alone. The village currently budgets $54,810 to operate the department which employs two full-time officers. Of that amount, the township paid $5,000 last year, and is con­ tributing twice that this fiscal year. “We’ll give $10,000 again next year but we’re not in any position to give any more than that,’’ Samspon said. He could not speculate whether the township would again of­ fer that amount the following year as well. “Who knows what monies will be available? Whether there may be more federal revenue sharing or some type that can be obtained through grants or an increased tax base, we don’t know. Right now, we plan to continue to support the department as we have in the past, on the same level,’’ Sampson said. In other business, the board ammended its 1981 fire or­ dinance which states those summoning the Vermontville Fire Department will be charged $250 per run if the hoses are used. Ifno hoses are used, the recipient will not be charged. With the ordinance ammendent, said Sampson, the reci­ pient of the fire service will also be billed when equipment is used that must be replaced, such as fire extinguishers. He said the action was a result of the numerous calls to chimney fires and other small fires that required the depart­ ment to use fire extinguishers and empty the contents. Sampson said that although the township levies one mill for the department, the funds generated are not enough to cover equipment replacement. The tax money is used to pur­ chase new equipment, fiiel, etc., Sampson said.

Robert Taylor says “a real concern has swept through the communi­ ty” since the death of fouryear-old Andrew Anderson in an early Wednesday morning house fire. “They (the community) are shocked about this happen­ ing,” said Taylor who of­ ficiated the youngs boy’s graveside funeral Saturday at Lakeview Cemetery. “There just seems to be’ a love that moves through the whole town.” Efforts by townspeople to help the family began just hours after the fatal fire, when a trust fund was established at Comerica Bank in Nashville. ’•7 “Fortunately our fire chief and police sergeant really were touched and got all this (aide to the family) rolling,” Taylor said. ' Taylor is a member of the Love Inc. of Barry County board which is in the process of helping to channel con­ tributions to the family from various churches. Clothing and food for the Anderson family, which consists of mother Levonna, 30, and children Kathleen, 8, Donna, 6, and Eric, 3, all of whom escaped the blaze, are also be­ ing collected. Fire Chief Doug Yarger said his department first received the call to the fire at about 6:20 a.m. Wednesday, and that the house was fully engulfed in flames when he and his men arrived on the scene. Yarger said investigation reveals Andrew had been playing with a cigarette lighter that ignited curtains and a couch in the downstairs living room.

After removing the other children from the house, his mother tried to retrieve Andrew Anderson Andrew, but was driven back by flames that singed her hair, officials said. Mrs. Anderson’s brother, Ronald Pearson of Hastings, also attempted unsuccessfully to rescue the boy. “Apparently he broke away and hid,” said Yarger. “That’s my opinion.” Yarger said Andrew is thought to have died of smoke inhalation in the upstairs bedroom of the home, located at 316 Middle St. Andrew Joseph Anderson was bom July 16, 1982 to An­ drew and Levonna Anderson in Grosse Pointe Woods. The family moved to Nashville in November of 1985. He is sur­ vived by his parents; two sisters and brother; maternal grandparents, Ralph and Shirley Currier; maternal great-grandfather, Francis Reames ofAurora, Colo.; and foster grandparents, Mrs. and Mrs. Loren Krug of Clare. The family lost all their belongings in the fire which gutted the house. Yarger said there was no insurance on the furnishings and contents ofthe home, owned by Roland and Penny Musser of Nashville. The house, however, was in­ sured, he said. Yarger said he and Nashville Police Sergeant Gene Koetje thought it would be a good idea to generate help for the Anderson family. The trust fund at Comerica bank was the first step, Yarger said. “In the meantime that got churches involved and the Chamber of Commerce got involved too,” Yarger said. “That’s really how it started, I guess.” Money to help buy clothing, food and furniture can also be Fire, continued page 2 A four-year-old boy lost his life Wednesday when fire-swept through this home at 316 Middle St. in Nashville.

Maple Valley School Board says it has "nothing to hide by Shelly Sulser Members of the Maple Valley Board of Education Policies Committee and Athletic Council saying they “have nothing to hide”, Local man robbed at gun-point not pressing charges by Shelly Sulser . Two white males who robb­ ed a Nashville man of an un­ disclosed amount of money at his home late Tuesday were being sought by the Nashville Police Department last week. Police ceased their search, however, after the victim decided he would not press charges, said Nashville Police Sgt. Gene Koetje. Koetje said the victim ap­ parently chose not to pursue charges because he iss aquainted with the perpetrators. At the time of the robbery, the two men were invited into the house by the victim before they pulled the 35 caliber pistol and demanded his money. He said they then fled in their vehicle bearing Ken­ tucky license plates, and that the victim chased the men un­ til he lost sight ofthem on 1-96 in Ionia County. Arrest warrants have been withdrawn, Koetje said. allowed reporters to attend a meeting with some citizens Monday who believed their discussion with the board panel was to be in private. The citizens, Russ Furlong and Jerry Brumm, organizers of the “Concerned Citizens for Responsible School Board Action” committee, and two other members of their group left the meeting chambers at the superintendent’s office refusing to speak of their con­ cerns before the press. The two men formed the group last month after becom­ ing “shocked and outraged that our superintendent is ill, possibly due to actions taken by this board”, they said at a public board meeting Dec. 29. The citizens and the board are disputing whether an evaluation of Maple Valley School Superintendent Carroll Wolff contributed to his re­ quested sick leave (from Dec. 2 -Jan. 16) for stress. Although the men had ques­ tioned the entire school board about employee evaluations at the public meeting, they asked to meet with the board’s policy committee at a date prior to the Jan. 12 regular meeting to “go over the re­ mainder of our questions to them,” said Furlong. Prior to walking out of the meeting room Monday, however, Furlong told board policy committee members David Hawkins, Dale Ossenheimer and Loren Lehman that “my understan­ ding was that it would be a private session where we sit and we talked about some things and discuss some things that needed to be discussed. That was our understanding.” Recordings of the Dec. 29 board meeting where the meeting was set up revealed there was no mention the ses­ sion would be held behind closed doors. “I don’t see anything private about any of this,” said Lehman after scanning a list of questions to be address­ ed. “I don’t see where we’re going to gain anything from a private meeting if this is public information.” But after Furlong and Brumm had insisted- they would not talk with the com­ mittee in an open session, Lehman and Hawkins said they would concede to the citizens’ demands for a closed session to, “get this over with.” Ossenheimer, however, would not. “The board as a public body and governmental unit has been charged with viola­ tions. I want those who are now charging those violations to stipulate and set them forth,” he said. “We are the ones who are here detailing ourselves. You are the ones School Board, cont. page 2 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, January 13, 1987 — Page 2 School Board, continued from front page. who have alleged violation on our part as a public body, as a governmental unit. You have stipulated*prior to the meeting what would be discussed here and now you refuse to discuss our violations as a govern­ mental unit. What is it that you can’t say in front of the press?” The citizens’ committee had submitted a list of “Questions Concerning Policy Viola­ tions,” citing a number of school board policies, such as the duties of officers, selec­ tion of building principals, etc. Lehman and Hawkins later Fire, from front page left in canisters located in various local businesses. Memorial contributions may. be made to a charity of one’s choice or to the fund that has been established at Comerica Bank in Nashville. “I hope they (the communi­ ty), get behind this family and see if we can help them out,” said Yarger. “I think they will.” He also stressed some ad­ vice for families with young children: “I’d like to see, especially parents of young people keep matches out of reach and lighters out of reach,” said Yarger, “and talk to their children about what happened here to make sure it doesn’t happen again.” agreed with Ossenheimer to keep the meeting open. “You’ve alleged violations and got them (citizens) fired up and now you want to meet in private so they can’t hear the answers,” Lehman said to Furlong. Ossenheimer added that if the meeting were to proceed in closed session, the board members would be blamed,for having met in private. “If we are going to have a discussion we’re going to have it so that the information and the response to that can be public information, via the press,” he said. Brumm, whcT" also left without stating his business, said he would have agreed to continue with the meeting with reporters present. “But I do not like the misin­ formation that gets in the press,” Brumm said. “It goes through too many places before it gets to the paper. People read and believe what they want to believe. Based on that, I would not like it to be in there (the papers),” he said. Furlong refused to proceed, but was invited by Board President Hawkins to present his concerns at the Jan. 12 regular open meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education. “The thing I really want to get across to the press is, that this board of education has ab­ solutely nothing to hide,” Hawkins said later. “Person­ nel matters are to be handled in an ethical and moral way. And in-so-far as any evalua­ tion of any employee, it’s up to the employee how that’s to be handled, not to a group of citizens whether they’re angry, whether they agree or disagree. Ninty-nine and nine tenths percent of things that have evolved from this have stemmed right from that.” Ossenheimer agreed, saying rumors that Superintendent Wolffs leave was related to the board evaluation have stemmed from what he con­ siders to be assumption, in­ nuendo, and speculation. Hawkins and Ossenheimer also dispute rumors they are attempting to force Wolff out ofthe job he has held for near­ ly 25 years. “When you’ve got a $4.5 million business sitting here and its the biggest one in this part of thd county, I don’t know how you can justify not doing evaluations of employees — be they a janitor, an aide, principal or superintendent, ’ ’ Ossenheimer said.

January 13, 1987 — Page 4 Leo Herrick recalls boyhood memories in Nashville For the next several weeks we will present a series of ar­ ticles written more than a quarter ofa century ago by the late Leo Herrick for publica­ tion as “The Great Balloon Ascension.” In his writings, Herrick reminisced about his boyhood days in the Nashville community. The story was run in weekly episodes by The Nashville News commencing in 1961. Albert (Leo) Herrick was bom in 1896, and grew up in Maple Grove Township. In 1919 he married the former Edna J. Mayo of Nashville, who was an early local school teacher in rural districts. Her­ rick became a U.S. Customs Service officer assigned at various times to posts in Battle Creek, Detroit and New Jersey. After he retired in 1965 the couple returned to Edna’s family homestead on Butler Road near Dowling, and he lived there until his death in 1974. Edna passed away in 1985. It was while he was living in Detroit that Herrick compiled the account of his boyhood days. His comments on par­ ticular aspects of early local life, including production of maple syrup, turn-of-thecentury attire, and horse-andbuggy travel, have appeared from time to time in the Memories column. His keen and witty observations give us a good view of what day-today life in Nashville entailed in the early 1900s. The following text and those that will follow over the next few weeks have in some cases been excerpted or edited Many of Nashville's early business places were owned by families of German ancestry, noted for their thrift, recalled Leo Herrick. Among them was William Kleinhans, a local dry goods dealer. A native of New Jersey, he came to Nashville via a merchan­ dising career at Pontiac. He bought the former Griffith store in 1886, and was still in business at the time of his death in 1929 at age 81, though son Clift had assumed store management. This updated ad shows ladies' shirtwaists sale-priced at 60 and 80 cents. by topic and will not necessarily appear in the same order as the original work by Herrick, whose project was inspired by, and based upon, an old postcard photo ofa hot­ air balloon ascension on Nashville’s Main Street in the early part of this century. “Nashville can boast of an illustrious and exciting past. This could be due in part- to the fact that there was com­ petition in almost every kind ofbusiness. Not only that, but many of the business places had names of German ancestry who were noted for their thrift. Like, for instance; Dahlhouser, Kaiser, Kleinhans, Lentz, Maurer, Rohtaar, Walrath, Wenger, Wolcott, etc. “Anyhow, there were two men’s clothing stores, two barbershops, two doctors (later three M.D.’s); two meat markets, two livestock buyers, two banks, two livery stables, two hardware stores, two drug stores, two grain elevators, two watering troughs and two candy stores. Yes, and even two pumps: one on the east side of Main Street and the other on the west side - with a tin cup hanging on each. Good, cold pure water it was too. If you happened to bring your own cup. “Those who didn’t have competition in their line of business seemed to have been in the spirit of things just the same. They aimed to be profi­ ciently adept to the needs of the customers so there would be no need, perhaps, for a competitor to start in business. “There was only one table factory but the Lentz Table Company produced, or perhaps I should say manufac- As children, Leo Herrick and his friends liked to "hang around" Ward Quick at his South End grocery because he was "always so optimistic about the future." Quick is seen third from left in back row of this circa-1910 Christmas photo of his is wife Mattie's family, the John Hinckleys of Maple Grove. Better times were on the way according to Quick, noted Herrick, but he did not live ive long l enough to enjoy them. After selling the grocery in 1928 he became manager of the Try-Me Bottling Works plant here, and was Nashville's postmaster when he died iin December 1933 at age 60. The Lentz Table Company, founded in Nashville in 1867 by Jacob Lentz, manufactured superb furniture pieces that were "reasonable in price ana built to last several generations," noted Leo Herrick. Jacobs three sons carried on the business after his death in 1915, and the family continued to have a hand in its operation into the 1950s. This plant on Lentz Street was built in 1891 to replace one that burned near the downtown area. At its peak the factory employed some 100 workers. tured tables that for quality of materials, workmanship and finish could not be duplicated anywhere. They were reasonable in price and built to last several generations. Lentz tables have been located as far west at the Pacific coast. “There was only one bakery in town but they baked a loaf of bread that sold for a nickle that was delicious in­ deed. There was only one opera house, of course, but it played an important part in colorful community activities, bringing to Nashville many diversified forms of entertain­ ment and exhibitions. “For many years the Wolcott House, the hotel on the south side, was a busy place. It was patronized especially by the drummers from Grand Rapids, Jackson and Detroit. “A colorful grocery store was Quick’s South Side. I well remember when Frank Quick and his two sons, Ward and Charlie, operated it. I can still visualize the oldfashioned coffee grinder with the enormous flywheels. Also cracker barrels, sugar barrels, pickel barrels and salt barrels. In the back room was were we kept the eggs and butter that the fanners brought in to ex­ change for groceries. Fanners were allowed more for their dairy products in trade than they were in cash. Cash was mighty hard to come by in those days - even for the grocers. What amazed me was how they were able to get ride of all those perishable items fast enough to make a profit. ‘ ‘Back ofthe store were two drums of kerosene and one of gasoline. Kerosene was the big seller, ofcourse, but occa­ sionally someone wanted gasoline for motor buggy or a gasoline lantern, “in the course of time only Ward and Charlie were left; to carry on the business, and then finally only Ward. We kids always liked to hand around Ward Quick because he was always so optimistic about the future. Better times were on the way according to his way of calculating, and he was right, but when things really did get better he was broken in health and never lived to enjoy much of it. “Then .there was Taylor’s Livery Stables near by. It was always a busy place and Jim Taylor, the proprietor, was also a veterinarian, although the state law did not require a license in those days. “During that era most of the he-mbn chewed tobacco.

Nashville, Tuesday, January 13. 1987 — Page 6 Maplewood's Annual Book Fair is huge success! Steve Hopkins quessed the correct number of mints in a jar and won a book bag. (photos supplied) “Easy to Read” books right up to a “Pocket Dictionary” were available to all Maplewood students during the school’s annual “Book Fair” held last month. The Maplewood PTO spon­ sored this event and announc­ ed it was a big success with a total of $1,439.35. One half of this Lamount ($719.67) is the school’s profit in which the PTO let the Maplewood librarian, Mrs. Musser, pur­ chase new books for the library. Congratulations to Steve Hopkins for guessing the right amount of mints in a jar. His prize was a “Share a Book with a Friend” book bag given by the book fair. “Special thanks to the students, parents and teachers who made this “Book Fair” a success,” said a PTO spokesperson. Student books coming up for sale Mrs. Acker’s fourth hour writing for publication class has been working all semester on getting a book prepared. At last their labor has bom fruit, for the book will soon roll off the presses. Most of the students in the class have at least one article, a number have contributed even more.

Vermontville Village water rates may be "going up"; hearing set by Shelly Sulser Water rates in Vermontville may increase, say members of the village water committee. “The Wells are getting so old that down the road we’ll have to replace them. So we have to get a surplus (of money) built up now,” said Village President Sue Villanueva. Currently presidents ofVer­ montville pay a $2 base rate, plus 90 cents per 1,000 gallons used up to 20,000 gallons. A 60 cent fee is charged for each 1,000 gallons over that, said Deputy Clerk Jill Booher. Vermont­ ville businesses pay a $4 base rate, Booher said. Although the water commit­ tee has not made a formal now, we wouldn’t have the money to replace them so we’ve got to get some money in the water fund,” Villanueva said. The Vermontville Village 1 Council will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. Feb. 5 to discuss the water rates and later vote on the recommenda­ tions of the water committee during the regular meeting that begins at 7:30 p.m. recommendation, the commit­ tee said one possible proposal may be a $3.75 base rate for residents and $1.05 per 1,000 gallons. “We’re still studying it,” Villanueva said. She said a study conducted by Williams and Works ofGrand Rapids in 1982 made some recommen­ dations regarding water rates in Vermontville, and that her committee’s proposals will stem from the report, with some increases. Village Maintenance Super­ visor Tony Wawiemia said both water wells are over 20 years old but recent rejuvination and the replacement of pumps have kept them up to regulation. “If they went bad right Citizen's committee kicks off transportation support drive A X♦ LETTERHEADS BUSINESS CARDS 8>/2xll” fine white bond paper with your choice of colors ft fq 5 for logo. 1,000 just. . .

Friends of EATRAN are organizing a pro-local transportation campaign, gathering public backing for a millage vote for the county­ wide bus service. An earlier millage vote that would have maintained ex­ isting EATRAN services was defeated last year - largely because Delta Township residents, already served by another public transportation system, negated-the plurality voters gave EATRAN in the rest ofthe county, where there is no other bus service. Friends of EATRAN organizer Donna Smith has announced a public kick-off meeting, scheduled for Mon­ day, Jan. 19, from 7-8:30 p.m. at the Eaton Intermediate School Building on Packard Highway. A dessert potluck, featuring low-cal desserts, and a slide presentation promoting the many aspects of EATRAN Correction to 4-H Council officers list The name of Lisa Locke from Charlotte was in­ advertently omitted from the list of 1987 Eaton County 4-H Council Officers. Lisa will serve as the Teen President of Council and Sheri Day of Olivet was elected vice president. Better than body! service to the county will highlight the evening. Smith says the proEATRAN group is planning a public information campaign, intending to explain to residents how the less than ‘/z-mill property tax - which had already been put into ef­ fect for a time - adds some $400,000 annually to the local economy through captured gasoline taxes that otherwise would not be available to Eaton County residents. It is this major benefit, and the specialized services EATRAN provides, that Smith believes will generate increased sup­ port for the millage vote due this spring. Smith says reservations for transportation to the open meeting can be made by call­ ing EATRAN at 371-3312 or 543-4087. Amplify...a sensational new source of energy for your hair.

The rest of us make the best of whatever attributes we have, unless we can afford expensive salon treatments or plastic surgery. However, we should realize that mere surface beauty is no guarantee of happiness, when we recall that many of the most glamorous screen stars were unable to achieve it. Indeed, after a series of marriages and divorces, some of them have spent their later years alone and friendless; their great attractiveness long gone. It is but a fleet­ ing thing anyway, as our faith teaches us; and the only real and enduring kind of beauty is that which comes from within and is marked by kind­ ness and a genuine concern for others. It is a form of beauty that age cannot erase, and the only kind that can truly bring happiness to anyone.

Smith, an Assemblies of God mis­ sionary to Africa. Dr. Smith will be guest speaker for a foreign missions service, on Sunday, Jan. 18, at 6 p.m. at the Assembly of God, 735 Reed St., in Nashville, the Rev. Robert Taylor, pastor, has announced. Dr. Smith and his wife Nor­ ma have just completed 10 years of missionary service at the West Africa Advanced School of Theology (WAAST) in Lome, Togo, where he was academic dean and she was head librarian. They both served on the facul­ ty there, too. Dr. Smith was instrumental in developing the school from a two-year associate degree program to a full four-year bachelor of theology degree program. More than 30 WAAST graduates have successfully completed masters degrees in American seminaries and graduate schools. Several WAAST graduates are work­ ing on doctoral programs in America. Dr. Smith has just written a 400-page reference book en­ titled The Bible School Ad­ ministrator’s Handbook to be published in the future. This book will help third world Bi­ ble school administrators operate their schools accor­ ding to quality educational standards. Mrs. Smith, college librarian at WAAST, has helped the library acquire ap­ proximately 6,000 new holdings during her tenure. Also, many additions were made to the audio-visual col­ lection both in equipment and software during her administration. During their most recent term in Togo, the Smiths worked with the Assemblies of God church in Tsevie, helping it to grow from about 25 beljevers to more than 200. The Smiths anticipate a new assignment for their next term of service. As soon as the arrangements are completed, supporting churches will be S.A.D.D. students program, continued high school students rather than from teachers,” Higdon said. Lanning said the S.A.D.D. students had previously con­ ducted a peer resistance train­ ing program annually for Maple Valley fifth graders and that Monday’s project was first. “Hopefully they will take on the T-shirt interaction each year as well,” said Lanning. “The more we do it, the bet­ ter it’s going to be for the students.” Lanning added the Maple Valley S.A.D.D. (Students Against Driving Drunk) will attend a S.A.D.D. Seminar in Kalamazoo in two weeks, where they will act our their skit and explain what they are doing to curb drug use in their district. Last fall, Lanning con­ ducted a three-day program at Maple Valley Schools for fourth through eighth graders that taught them how to say no. “Having the high school students here today reinforces that,” Lanning said. She add­ ed her program will continue at Maple Valley in the spring when she works with the ninth through 12 graders. informed. Prior to missionary service, Mr. Smith served in teaching and administrative positions in public education in the state of Michigan. The Smiths also pastored in Michigan. Dr. Smith earned his Ph.D. degree in overseas accredita­ tion of Bible schools and col­ leges at Michigan State University. Mrs. Smith holds an M.A. degree in missionary anthropology from the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary in Spr­ ingfield, Missouri. In this service, the Smiths will make a special missionsoriented presentation in­ cluding a multi-media pro­ gram entitled “Ten Years in Ten Minutes,” a fast moving resume of their ministry in Africa. Dr. Smith will sing and speak.

TWITCHELL Clerk of the Board of Commissioners �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Tuesday, January 13, 1987 — Page 13 Plants, from page 7 Desiccation, or drying out, is a common problem of evergreen plants, particularly broadleaf evergreens. Desic­ cation occurs when winter winds and sun rob the needles or leaves ofmoisture when the soil is frozen and roots can not take up water to replace lost moisture. You can prevent desiccation by planting evergreens in sites protected from drying winds or by wrapping plants in burlap or canvas to shield them from sun and wind. Deep watering whenever rainfall in summer or fall is less than one inch per week to send plants into winter well watered and mulching to prevent deep freezing ofthe soil are recom­ mended preventive measures. Shading the trunks ofyoung fruit trees, maples and other smooth-barked deciduous trees is the preventive medicine prescribed for frost crack, or “southwest disease.” Shading the trunk keeps the bark from warming when the sun shines on it. Warm tissues expand. When the temperature drops after sunset, outer tissues contract faster than inner tissues, and the bark splits. Fungi that cause wood rot and canker diseases may enter the cracks. Wrapping trunks in burlap or paper tree wrap and planting susceptible species on the north side of fences, hedges, shrubs or buildings can prevent the injury. Gnawing mice and rabbits can be more serious problem. Rodents feeding on tree bark can girdle and kill plants. Cylinders of hardware cloth that reach a few inches into the soil and 18 inches above the usual snow line will keep gnawing rodents away from tree trunks. Repellents may also give some protection. They may need to be reapplied in midwinter, and their effectiveness will depend largely on whether the animals have any other food sources. Even the best repellent will not repel a hungry animal into starvation. Landscape plants near busy streets may need protection against deicing salt. Both salt spray in the air and salty runoff threaten plants. The best prevention is to avoid planting sensitive plants — such as white pine, oak and sugar maple - where exposure to salt spray or runoff is like­ ly. For plants already in place, splash guards of burlap or canvas will keep spray off or canvas will keep spray off of foliage. Shoveling saltladen snow away from plants and watering heavily in the spring to leach accumulated salt out of the root zone will help prevent rootTiamage by salt. The best way to avoid damage to plants by heavy loads ofjce and snow is to avoid planting Siberian elm, willow, silver maple and other Maple valley Carpet Care TOM FRITH, owner Nashville (517) 852-9650 [ VCR Rental [ J ’5.00 m f WILD WEDNESDAY - All Movies’2.00 !

Shrubs and hedges that may be crushed by a load ofheavy, wet snow may be wrapped with canvas or burlap and tied so they have less surface area to hold snow, or supported by chicken wire and stakes so snow can’t flatten them. When ice storms strike, Krizek advises against trying to remove the ice. Frozen plant stems and branches are usually quite brittle, he points out, and trying to break ice off of them may do more damage than leaving it to melt natural­ ly. Instead, support dropping branches to keep them from breaking. TV SERVICE: For a depend­ able, reasonable TV repairman call Lee’s TV. Over 25 years experience.

The board voted at its Jan. 12 regular meeting to ratify the new contract which pro­ vides the 60-member non­ teaching staff with a new wage scale calling for a 17 percent increase over three years, said MVESP President Stan Graham. Graham said the three-year agreement is the longest his group has had with the board of education, noting that con­ tracts in the past had been two-year pacts at most. However, MVESP is young, forming in 1984. Graham said new language in the contract will allow in­ surance coverage for the two full-time bus drivers, and that half of the premiums for four drivers who work four or more hours each day will be paid by the board and half by the union. It was also agreed that all full-time employees will receive long-term disability beginning the third year ofthe contract, Graham said. Graham said the establish­ ment of a new wage scale was the major stumbling block in negotiations. “We had never had a wage scale before,” Graham said. “There was just a dispute in how that was to be set up, how the money was to be divided up among our members.” Graham said the wage scale, which indicates starting pay and schedules for in­ creases, is ‘ * pretty reasonable. Never having one before made it hard to set up and be fair to everybody.” He said his group had orginally requested the wage scale, but feels the board will benefit from it as well. “They can project down the years for a budget. It can tell them where we’re going to be three years from now,” he said. Curriculum Coordinator Dr. Vic Schug, who sat in on negotiations while Superinten­ dent Carroll Wolff was on sick leave, said the scale will be more systematic than the present program and will pro­ vide more stability. to better yourself through it.” In the area of educational leadership, Wolff received a 1.43 grade from the board. Some board comments in­ cluded: “No educational leadership that I can perceive;” “Does he know the educational needs of the community?” For operational leader­ ship, the board gave Wolff, who has served 25 years as superintendent in the Maple Valley Schools, a 1.47. In that area, board com­ ments included remarks such as “I think he manages money honestly, but still does not understand the importance of academic goals so that budget management contributes to the better academic climate;” “Evaluation of subordinates— no program or action.” Concerning Wolffs staff relationships, the board evaluated him at 1.38. Comments: “Favoritism shown frequently;” “Ex­ tremely reluctant to work with principals and curriculum coordinator;" “I think the superintendent is suspicious of staff members with indepen­ dent ideas.” Wolff was given a 1.62 when board members reported their feelings in his community relationships. “The public has trouble getting any definite answers, or a feeling that you really want to work with them;” and “Seems to know everyone in the community” were some board members’ individual opinions. A 1.68 score was given Wolff for his personal qualities. “Frequently uses short stories or antecdotes to change subject, and interferes with discussions;” “Still refuses to delegate authority or accept ideas/suggestions from his staff;” “Lost or misplaced last evaluations — a good in­ dicator ofhis regard for board and direction;” “You spend many dedicated hours at your job,” they said. An overall score of 1.48 was given to Wolff, the evaluation document reveals. Comments like “I do not believe that he realizes that he works for Maple Valley; I feel that he thinks he is Maple Valley;” “You show only a moderate amount of involve­ ment in community or school projects;” “Take a leadership role so I don’t have to do your job” and “I think it is time we considered your gracious retirement or our not-sogracious dismissal” were in­ cluded in the evaluation under the overall performance heading. The last comment listed under, proposed contract terms and compensation changes, reads: “Carroll should be asked for his resignation by the board im­ mediately, or given the option of retirement by Dec. 31, 1986.1 have seen no improve­ number of signatures needed ment since his last evaluation for each person in question. and his presence is having a “It’s 25 percent of votes negative, -detrimental effect cast for governor in the last on the new administration we election where a governor was have hired.” elected,” Thaler said.

There were individual evalua­ tion forms that each board member took home and filled out and spent time on. It was all done anonymously. There was no board direction or con­ currence on the the way it was filled out, but maybe we should have gone over it as a board before we even presented it to Carroll. I think we will see some changes on that.” Wolff said Friday he had obtained approval from his doctor to return to work on Monday and that he planned to be back at his desk that day. has a personal dislike for me or maybe I don’t always agree with him, I’m not sure which it is, but that’s been the crux of the whole thing. But until we have a meeting with Mr. Wolff and the board, none of this is going to get resolved. The board claims the evaluation of Wolff is not completed because they have not had the opportunity to meet with the him to discuss the results, due to his illness. “The results could change if Caroil met with us and discussed it,” member Loren Lehman said. Concerning negative com­ ments in the evaluation, Hawkins said “I know what I put on there. If there were some that were critical in any respect, they could be perceived to be cruel. There Nearly 200 interested citizens including district staff, parents and former board members listened as the controversial evaluation of Superintendent Wolff was finally made public.

MAIN, VERMONTVILLE Stan Trumble Teresa Jones Ken Trumble Sixteen former school board members rate Carroll Wolff by Shelly Sulser Sixteen former Maple Valley Board of Education members polled by the Con­ cerned Citizens for Responsi­ ble Board Action give school Superintendent Carroll Wolff a good rating. Bill Fox, who conducted an evaluation using the same form used by the present board members, asked the former school officials to base their opinions on Wolff’s per­ formance while they were ser­ ving their terms, to compare with the assessment given by the present board. Fox said former board members who gave their com­ ments on Wolff were Albert Bell, Elam Rockwell Jr., John Viele, Charles Viele, Virginia Fox, Gene Baker, Wayne Cogswell, Jerry Brumm, Merle Martin, LeRoy Sleeper, Wilbur Marsh, Russell Keech, Harold Hansen, Wallace Graham, Dr. Thomas Myers and Arlene DeCamp. Those former members also were asked to use the same evaluation scale of 0-3, (0-cannot evaluate; 1-does not meet minimum expectations; 2- meets expectations; and 3- exceeds expectations), used by the current board. Some former members who evaluated Wolffhave not been on the board for 10 years or more, and others have recent­ ly completed their terms or resigned. In the area of relationships with the Board of Educa­ tion, the average score was 2.38; for educational leadership—2.25; operational leadership—2.52; staff relationships—2.11; conununity relationships—2.20; per­ sonal qualities—2.47 and an overall score of 2.31 was given. “I just thought he’s done a good job over the years,” said Wayne Cogswell who served on the board for nearly eight years. “He had his weak points but basically he did a good job.” Cogswell said he felt the board members were not qualified to assess Wolff’s relationship with the staff because their answers would be just “hearsay.” “I feel no one knows his relationship with the staff members that well.

Former board trustee LeRoy Sleeper said he was opposed to the evaluation form from the beginning. Sleeper, whose term on the board expired at the end of June 1986, said the board began seeking a form to evaluate the superintendent a year and a half ago. “I was opposed to using the form in the first place. It’s far too comprehensive for having never done it before,” Sleeper said. Sleeper had evaluated the superintendent last April as a board of education member, but by June, still had not seen the results of the combined board assessment, he said. Sleeper had taken the posi­ tion on that evaluation and on the evaluation by former board members that “until the board begins to give definite direction and oversight in the role of serving rather than in the role ofruling, it is difficult to assess the effectiveness of the superintendent in any given area. Until such time, any overall performance rating by any board member will only be subjective.” Sleeper also contends the evaluation scale is too narrow. “It should be expanded to Include ‘sometimes’ or ‘occa­ sionally’, ‘often but not always’, between one and two and two and three,” he commented. “My suggestion to the board at that time was that we should develop something more simple to start with and go from there,” Sleeper added. continued from page 2 Sleeper noted he thought the board at that time was not giv­ ing Wolff proper direction. “A lot of things, I felt, that they accused Carroll of or im­ plied is a result of (board) in­ action, not giving direction and that has been going on for years and years,” he said. “In general, yes, but I couldn’t see where any specific direc­ tion had been given for years.” Other comments on the former board member assess­ ment of Wolff include: — “Always very profes­ sional. During the time I serv­ ed on the board, I feel our superintendent’s performance was outstanding in accomplishing the goals set for­ ward at the time.” — “Budgeting monies wisely in the best interest of education.” — “I feel the superinten­ dent’s performance has been excellent in fiscal responsibili­ ty which has always been a major goal of the school system.” — “We never did evaluation while I was on the board.” — “He always had the budget done on time and a strong outlook to the future.” — “He always worked to make our school system as good or better than all others around.” —“I was on the WK Kellogg school board for 18 years; had helped hire five superintendents. Carroll Wolff is the most sincere, reliable, and financial minded person we have had to run our school...” — “There have been times when I felt the superintendent has too much control over the board and not enough over his administrators. ’ ’ — “One area of weakness in communication with the "I was opposed to using the form in the first place it's too comprehensive" • general public.”; — “As a member of the MV School Board from 1967-73,1 feel superintendent Wolffhad a good rapport with all the board members as well as a good working relation­ ship with teaching, administration and support per­ sonnel. As lay persons, we board members depended on his expertise to advise us on matters pertaining to a sound educational and financial operation ofthe system within the funds available.” Styling for Women, Men > and Children $gQQ Men's Hair Cut Call Dorthy today for appointment. — WALK-INS WELCOME — Irene’s Beauty Shop 204 North Main St., Nashville 852-9107 •— Childhaad fs A Magical STANTON’S PhucnonecRS & rgmtorsB^ (517)726-0181 • (517)726-0555 144 SOUTH- MAIN STREET MERMONTMILLE.

January 20, 1987 — Page 4 A glimpse of day-to-day life in Nashville in the early 1900s Following is a continuation of boyhood reminiscensces written more than a quarter­ century ago by the late Leo Herrick for publication as “The Great Balloon Ascen­ sion.” For the next several weeks we will present a series of these articles based on a collection which appeared in The Nashville News in the early 1960s. Albert (Leo) Herrick was bom in 1896, and grew up in Maple Grove Township. Married in 1919 to the former Ed­ na J. Mayo of Nashville, he became a U.S. Customs Ser­ vice officer assigned at various times to posts in Battle Creek, Detroit and New Jersey. After he retired in 1965 the couple returned to Edna’s family homestead on Butler Road near Dowling. It was while living in Detroit that Herrick compiled the account of his youthful days in the Nashville com­ munity. His comments on par­ ticular aspects of those times have appeared from time to time in this column. His keen and witty observations give us a good glimpse of day-to-day life in Nashville in the early 1900s. The following text and those that will follow in subse­ quent Memories columns have in some cases been ex­ cerpted or edited by topic and will not necessarily appear in the same order as the original work by Herrick, whose project was inspired by, and bas­ ed upon, an old postcard photo of a balloon ascension on Nashville’s Main Street in. the early 20th century. wheeled carts and sometimes just horses with saddles on their backs, were tied to the iron pipes. They were hitched at either right or left angles to the street and when they back­ ed a wagon up into the street to go home the rear end ofthe wagon would be cramped, or pointed in the opposite direc­ tion from home. “Although they used to pass other rigs on the right, same’ as we do now, that didn’t necessarily mean that they were northbound if they were hitched (not parked) on the east side of Main Street. In turn, a team and wagon arriv­ ing from the north might turn and hitch on the east side of Main Street also. It didn’t matter much except at times when two teams, with wagons, might be backing up at the same ’ time from opposite sides of the street. Neither one knew for sure just how the other fellow was go­ ing to cramp. It caused confu­ sion and, naturally dirty looks were exchanged between driver?. Each driver, under his breath, was muttering how punk a driver the other guy was. “However (there came the time) when the hitching posts were removed from Main Street in the center part of town, and placed on the side streets. This caused a lot of grumbling, from the farmers especially, who complained that they could no longer hitch in front of their favorite store to do their trading.” “...Gladys Wolf was the chief ‘hello’ girl (at the office of the Citizens Telephone “Between the (utility) poles Company) in those days. They on the right and left side of were not called operators and Main Street were hitching they didn’t say ‘number posts of horizontal pipes and please.’ They said ‘hello’ vertical stays. Teams hitched because like as not the party too wagons and other horses calling didn’t know the right hitched to buggies and two- number anyway but would ask for the party they-wanted by name. Telephone books were In those days, Nashville's mail carriers were required to make their rounds on Christmas Day, and one who impressed young Leo Herrick was Frank Wertz. He was a "real Santa Claus" riding in a decorated cutter behind a horse decked out in bells. Another personable carrier Herrick recalled was Isa Newton, who alternately used two mules and a high, two-wheeled cart to deliver mail in the summertime. This updated photo is believed to be of Newton and one of the animals, named Jack and Jennie. Nashville's telephone trouble wagon is seen in this early updated photo. Ray Brooks was a trouble­ shooter for Citizens phone company, recalled Herrick, and he "was a natural for that job.” Whether if was a line down, a farmer blocking tree trimming, someone refusing to pay their phone bill, or young vandals, Brooks handled it. He had an unusual ability to get along with people, remembered Herrick, and got things straightened out to everybody's satisfaction." few and far between and the party calling might just want the correct time; the market price on butter and eggs; how come their bill is 73 cents higher this quarter than it was last; to report poor reception somewhere, etc. “Telephone bills were paid every three months. Michigan was on Central Standard Time, which was too slow for the farmers. They all used ‘sun time,’ which was exactly forty minutes faster than the cities, towns and railroads. It would be, of course, exactly twenty minutes slower than the time Nashville uses now (EST). “To pay a telephone bill one had to climb the long flight of stairs, turn to the left, and then enter the first door on the right. Once inside that room, I was fascinated and amazed by the strange and in­ tricate equipment before my eyes. It seemed like miracles were being performed. There sat Gladys on a high stool with a receiver covering one ear. She was making connections, breaking connections, receiv­ ing messages over the wire with one ear, listening to our conservation with the other, giving replies over the mike, and signing a receipt all at the same time. Not only that, she never became impatient, ex­ cited, or expressed any ill will toward anybody at any time. What a gal. “Clair Fumiss was the general manager and he had a trouble-shooter by the name of Ray Brooks, who was a The chief "Hello girl" at Nashville's Citizens Telephone Company in Leo Herrick's youth was Gladys Wolf, whom he recalled could perform a multitude of duties all at the same time. The girls were not called operators then, he remembered, and didn't ask for "Number, please," but said "Hello" instead because "like as not the party calling didn't know the right number anyway so would ask for the party by name." Phone directories were far and few between in those days. The "Hello girls" also stated correct time, quoted current market prices, and collected payments. These two at Nashville's central, circa-1910, are unidentified. Wagons and buggies dog Nashville's Main Street in this early 1900s scene. When backing up the rigs to go home, neither driver knew for sure just "how the other fellow was going to cramp," recalled Leo Herrick. "Each, under his breath, was muttering how punk a driver the other guy was." This photo was taken sometime before November 1906, the month the Union House hotel (just beyond first utility pole at left) was razed, and it may have been on a Saturday, the time most farm families came to town for weekly shopping and visiting. natural for that job. Brooks had a fast stepping horse with a light rubber-tired buggy. A line down somewhere, some farmer refusing to allow a tree to be trimmed to get the wires through, kids throwing stones at the glass insulators on the poles coming home from school or someone refusing to pay their bill always meant a job for Brooks. He had an unusual ability to get along with people and getting things straightened out to everybody’s satisfaction. “The telephones were big clumsy boxes thatt were fastened to the walls. The cranks were on the right, the receivers on the left and below was the housing for the big, round dry batteries. When these batteries bacame weak all kinds of trouble developed until they were replaced. To make a call in those days re­ quired a lot of patience. If so­ meone should happen to answer the phone promptly it was so startling that the per­ son making the call' might forget, temporarily at least, just what to say. Party lines were always busy because there were usually too many on a line.” Continued on next page— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Tuesday, January 20, 1987 — Page 5 Memories of the past continued “...As for telephones, I well remember when the first holes were dug (by hand of course), finally the poles set, and many months later the wires stretched and hooked up to the telephones as far south as the Quailtrap school, only four miles south of Nashville. That line was called 116. “I also remember the day they inaugurated the rural mail delivery. Now the farmers could get their mail every day except in the wintertime when some of the roads were impassable. “The rural mail carriers bacame a very important part of the rural community. Who can forget Frank Wertz delivering the mail on Christmas Day (they were re­ quired to deliver mail on Christmas Day except they didn’t have to wait for the morning trains to arrive in Nashville first) all dressed up - a real Santa Claus riding in a decorated cutter behind a fast­ stepping horse? The horse, too, was covered with decora­ tions and bells. “There was another per­ sonable mail carrier by the name of Isa Newton. He had two mules, Jack and Jennie, and a high, two-wheeled cart to deliver mail with in the summertime. He would drive Jack one day and Jennie the next.” (To Be Continued Next Week) Enroll now in M.V.

Now it's time for the citizens of the Maple Valley School District to evaluate the 'State of the Superintendent*. Don't leave it up to a local citizens com­ mittee and the school board to determine the fate of your superintendent. Much has been published in the past few weeks concerning the school board's evaluation of Superintendent Carroll Wolff. For the first time in Carroll's 25 years as superintendent, a formal written evaluation was com­ piled by the present school board for the second time this school year. It seems harmless, and even in the best interest of better management in the future. However, the comments section of second evaluation leads you to believe that the board was using the evaluation process as a tool other than to better administration. Carroll Wolff has served this district for over 25 years and is nearing re­ tirement. During this time, the taxpayers have granted him virtually no millage increases up to this past November. Additional funds came only from fiscal control and increases in state aid formulas. Was the evaluation necessary? Why did the school board find it necessary to hold a written evaluation adding comments damaging to Carroll's ability to administer, is the question the taxpayers of the district should ask!

The second annual walk will take place over fixed three mile routes in the cities of Albion, Battle Creek, Col­ dwater, Hastings, Sturgis and Three Rivers, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. Money raised by the event will be used to help area residents with heating-related emergencies and increase public awareness of winter problems faced by lowincome, elderly and handicap­ ped people in Barry, Branch, Calhoun and St. Joseph counties. The Community Action Agency of South Central Michigan, sponsor of this event and the 1986 “Walk for Warmth”, raised over $20,000 last February enabl­ ing them to help 525 households. Community members will be given the opportunity to walk in the 1987 walk and seek pledges for hours or miles walked, to organize related events in the fourcounty service area to enhance the event, or to make financial pledges and contributions. People or organizations in­ tested in helping are asked to call their local CAA Office. The Community Action Agency Office is located at the Courts and Law Building, 220 W. Court Street, Hastings, MI, phone 948-4883. This fundraising event is again undertaken in response to a severe need for money to help with heating-related emergencies. In spite of the existence of a number of pro­ grams to address the problem, only about one third of the people in need in the fourcounty are actually receive any form of financial help with heat at the time when they most need it.

Since it is the voiced opi­ nions of David Hawkins, Dale Ossenheimer, and Loren Lehman, (that we read in the newspapers) are not remembering the Golden Rule (which I was taught in grade number one). “Do unto others as you would have that others should do unto you.” If these men are church members they certainly are not taking heed to the scripture found in Gala­ tians 6:7; “Be not deceived; for God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he, also, reap.” I was taught in the par­ sonage by my parents: “never hurt nor offend anyone unless you want the hurt you cause to become your own, and the problems of those you hurt become your problems.” There was an accustion made in Jan. 13, 1987 Maple Valley News when Loren Lehman accused Russ Furlong: “Of getting the citizens all fired up.” Who stirred up the citizens, who was behind making our school superintendent ill, by putting him under unnecessary undue stress, it was the School Board so lets put these “dirty shoes” on the feet where they belong. In the Jan. 13 article it also states: (in next to last paragraph) Hawkins and Ossenheimer, also, dispute rumors they are attempting to force Wolffout of ajob he has held for nearly 25 years.” THIS IS CERTAINLY CON­ TRADICTED in the evalua­ tion of Mr. Wolff in OVERALL PERFOR­ MANCE RATING section No. 5 part 2(which is all underlined) states “I think it is time we considered your gracious retirement or our not so gracious dismissal.” I ask the board members “if this was not underlined it would be a different story wouldn’t it”, Since it is underlined any one would most definitely be under con­ cern and stress unless you were such a hardened in­ dividual who lacked concern, compassion for others. I sug­ gest you ask your physician what is one of the most com­ mon causes of a heart attack? It certainly reads that you’re WANTING MR. WOLFF OUT OF HIS POSITION BE- ING UNDERLINED!! In regards to Dale Ossenheimer referring to our schools in Maple Valley “as a business” schools only become a business when they are private schools or a higher education of learning as col­ leges etc., otherwise they are institutions of learning. I had done "so many evalua­ tions, prior to my retirement and I find it highly in­ conceivable how anyone can make a truly accurate evalua­ tion unless they are in indirect daily contact with the in­ dividual while working with them or beside them. In order for an evaluation to properly done it should be done every six months and never any longer than a year unless your working like a “spy” taking notes of every movement, then you wouldn’t be doing anything but writing notes. To wait for 25 years to do an evaluation and start with the superintendant of the schools brings up the question as to what motivated this evaluation? Who is trying to impress whom? Did someone want Mr. Wolff’s position; if they were qualified or did they have a friend or relative in mind for the position? I feel the citizens need some definite answers. I have not been influenced by anyone but I am deeply concerned when I read the things I have read mostly voiced by Maple Valley School Board. I would hang my head in shame causing a individual unnecessary stress that could lead to a heart at­ tack. I definitely know what I would do had this happened to me or any member of my family, I know what action I would take. In closing, I think that our school board members should do some very serious soul searching, and see themselves as others see them; especially those citizens who want to see a recall of this school board. However, I think an evalua­ tion should be done on each school board member, star­ ting with the president first. Yours Truly, Mrs. Wm. R. (Isabelle) Dean To the editor: In all this plain mess created by the Maple Valley Board of Education, I think the citizens of Nashville should ask the Board what does all this have to do with the quality of the Education in Maple Valley Schools?

It wasn’t the first time I’ve at­ tended and hope not the last. I thought the school board, which was elected to their job by the registered voters of the school district, has done a very thorough and fair evalua­ tion of Superintendent Carroll Wolff and his job performance. Maybe if the evaluation had been done years ago and the first one which was given to Mr. Wolff for safe keeping hadn’t come up missing, the present evaluation wouldn’t have out-raged and shocked the Concerned Citizen’s For Responsible School Board Ac­ tion and their followers. As for stress, very few people go through life without experiencing plenty of it. But in Mr. Wolff*s case,Tie can help negotiate his own contract, fr­ inge benefits, hire principals, secretaries, student counselors, etc. which should help relieve him of much of his stress. Maybe Mr. Wolff should take some of his own advice when he quoted President Harry S. Truman: “Ifthe heat in the kitchen gets too hot; maybe you had better get out.” R. L.

Gifts of clothing, furniture, money, kitchen utensils and toys have been bestowed upon Levonna and her three children by a number of chur­ ches, businesses and individuals. “There have been so many, I couldn’t possibly put them all in the paper,” Levonna said Friday at the home of her mother, Shirley Currier. “We’ve gotton everything from shampoo to washing soap. I think it’s great. It makes you feel well loved even if you don’t know them.” Levonna and her children, Kathleen, 8, Donna, 6, and Eric, 3 now have a place to live as well, since an uniden­ tified man has provided them with a house to rent on Nashville’s Middle Street. Recalling a time when she had a similar experience at the age of 17 while living in a larger city, Levonna said the efforts of people in the town near Detroit can not compare to the help Nashville’s citizens gave. “At that time, the stores gave me clothes so I could go to work but nothing else. It just wasn’t anything like this,” she said. After that fire, Levonna said she never wanted to go through another one. “Nobody died in that one but it was bad enough.” Levonna is a medical assis­ tant for Dr. Regualos in Battle Creek, and is studying at Kellogg Community College to become a registered nurse. The loss of her son, Andrew, has left a vacany in her life. “I feel like there is an emtpy space in my life that’s never gonna be filled,” she said, adding, “My kids always knew I loved them because I always told them.” Firemen received the call to the fire at 316 Middle St. at about 6:20 a.m. on that Wednesday morning. Andrew is believed to have started the blaze with a cigarette lighter. “When I found it, the whole wall was on fire,” she recalled. “He (Andrew) had a cup of water and tried to put out the fire. The phone wouldn’t work so I threw it and I kept hollering at Andrew to get diem (his sisters) out (from upstairs). I got them out by the garage and went to the neighbors to call the Fire Department. “We kept hollering for An­ drew and there was no answer,” she continued. “I never felt so unuseful ‘cause I couldn’t get up the stairs.” Levonna said there were two firemen who made deter­ mined efforts to save her son. “I knew they had done their best,” Levonna noted. “I didn’t want them to feel bad or sad.” Levonna said she remains baffled as to how her son ob­ tained the lighter. “I still don’t know how he got a lighter because I had mine and the other one was in the cigarette case where it was supposed to be.” “I cry a lot, ” she added, Farmer Boys Market BULK FOODS • SALVAGE and SURPLUS GROCERIES 31/2 miles west of M-50 on W.

He was real in­ quisitive. He always wanted to know how things worked. I think Andrew was a brave lit­ tle boy. He wasn’t afraid of anything.” She added the pain of the tragedy was compounded by realizing she had lost everything she owned. There was no insurance on the con­ tents or furnishings of the home. “You don’t lose the memories but everything that goes along with them,” Levonna said. Levonna said she requested a photo to be taken of her and the children in front of their new house so those who have provided gifts and essentials can see who they have helped. “It must have been everybody in the community that helped. The schools, the churches...I want them to know who they have helped because so many times there will be an effort like this and they never know who received it.” With some of what she has received, Levonna hopes to return the favor for others in need. “I felt what I couldn’t use, I would donate back to the disaster center in Hastings,” Levonna said. She noted the day of her son’s funeral, she did not know how she was going to pay for it. “But by the end of the day, I had the money.” She said for the time being, roses will rest on her son’s grave until she can purchase a headstone. “I was always real safety conscious, ’ ’ Levonna said. “What am I going to do dif­ ferent? I’m’going to have fire drills. They have them at school, I think it’s time people did them at home too.” New Construction*Service*Remodeling •Sewer and Drain Work Halsey Plumbing LARRY HALSEY Licensed Master Plumber Ph. 517-543-6996 Serving Charlotte, Vermontville, Nashville - all ofEaton County 10% Discount on Labor for Senior Citizens^ M Cobb W Wfcf & Richard R.

Earlier in the week the Lions lost to Bronson 79-60. Against the Tigers, Maple Valley jumped to a 17-14 first period lead and upped that margin to 30-25 by the half. After outscoring St. Philip 17-10 in the third period, Maple Valley led 47-35. Maple Valley shot only 32 percent (23-of-71) from the field, but outrebounded the smaller Tigers 48-32. Scot Lenz led the rebounders with 14 while sophomore Barry Carpenter, playing only his second varsity game, added 11. George Steinbrecher had 8. “We were able to control the rebound department,” noted Lion Coach Jerry Reese, who hopes the win will turn his team around. “We’re happy with the win,” he said. “I hope it will get us going. We have Portland and Pennfield this week and I hope will can get at least one of the two.” Tai Gearhart led the Lions with 25 points including 10 in the pivotal third period. “Once he got going some of the other guys started scor­ ing,” said Reese. Lenz tossed in 13 points and Steinbrecher added 12. Against Bronson, the Lions were led by 18 points from Gearhart and 13 from Steinbrecher. Brian Ainsworth chipped in 9 and Lenz and Carpenter added 7. Bret Cary and Craig Wattan combined for 47 of Bronson’s 60 points. Lion wrestlers lose to Bronson, beat Rogers On January 8, the Maple Valley wrestling team lost to Bronson 29-36. After a double forfiet at 90, Lance Brumm got the Lions on the right track with a pin at 108. Then Bronson pinned Kevin Stewart, Andy Goodrich and Tim Imes. Mark Goodrich and John Sprague lost close matches before David Benit got MV back on track at 140. Sherman Reid and Greg Flower added pins before a switch in the line up didn’t workout. Shawn Carpenter and Kevin Pixley were pinned to sew up the victory for Bronson before Drew Pixley pinned for the Lions at Heavyweight. On Tuesday, the Lions traveled to Grand Rapids to take on Rogers, Coopersville and Godwin. The Lions defeated Rogers 51-9. Brumm, Stewart, Finkler, M. Goodrich, Carpenter, Benit, Flower and both Pixleys all won for the Lions. Next, the Grapplers won a close match against Coopersville 32-31. Starting with a double forfeit at 98 Brumm, Stewart, Sprague, M. Goodrich, Reid, Flower nd D. Pixley all won to squeeze out the victory. Although the score in the third match against Godwin was a loss to MV 23-41 the team wrestled very well. Lance Brumm lost a disputed match at 105 that was follow­ ed by losses by Stewart, Finkler and Sprague. Goodrich and Carpenter got MV back on track before Benit lost at 140. Reid and Flower got the Lions back in but, that was not enough. Drew Pixley drew in another very disputed match at 198 that left the Lions very exasperated. On January 15, the Lions travelled to Pennfield under very unusual circumstances. In a very exciting dual, the Lions upset the league leading Panthers 37-35. After a dou­ ble forfeit at 98 Lance Brumm down 11-0 pinned J. Chantrene. The rest of the match was a seesaw affair with Stewart getting pinned at 112, Finkler pinning at 119,- Sprague giv­ ing up a major decision at 126, M. Goodrich getting a major decision back at 132, S. Carpenter being decisioned at 136, Benit pinned at 145, and Reid decisioned at 155. Then Greg Flower decisioned Nesbilt in a very emoronal match at 167, followed by a K. Pixley forfeit of 180, and a pin by D. Pixley at 190. Pennfield received a forfeit NEW & USED at Heavyweight but it was too late in a very satisfying vic­ tory for the Lions. Saturday, the Grapplers participated in the Union City Tournament and placed fourth behind Middleville, Delton and Michigan Center. Cham­ pions were: Sherman Reid (155), Greg Flower (167), and Drew Pixley (198). Finishing second was Lance Brumm (105). Finishing third was Scott Carpenter (138). Finishing fourth was Mark Goodrich (132).

There are many good and beautiful things and they are there because of the efforts of our administrators, the teachers, the board of educa­ tion, and the parents and taxpayers. Everyone of us has made mistakes. No one is perfect. Many times we misinterpret things a person or a committee or a board says or does. Many of us think if they don’t do as we want they are absolutely wrong. We need an open mind, a calm approach, a need to work together, and a great need to tell the truth and not repeat rumors. I had a call telling me the board had fired superinten­ dent Carroll Wolff. The board had NOT and they did not in­ tend to. They made an evalua­ tion of the superintendent. When I was teaching I was evaluated twice a year. The evaluations were for the staff member and the board only unless the member gave his consent for the release. I hap­ pen to know Mr. Lehman has backed Mr. Wolff and would Fight to keep him ifnecessary. So someone spread rumors which some believed and did not check or look for the truth. The superintendents evaluation was 2-, almost 2 on a scale of 0-3. is this bad? Would we rate any higher? Most of us would total 1. Remember we are not perfect even if we strive to be. Why do people have to be so cruel as to call those who do not agree with them and abuse and threaten them? They are sick and need a psychiatrist. Talk calmly, ask questions, listen well, and say, “Thank You.” I am glad the board allocated money for the athletic department. For three or four years the same people have worked their butts off raising funds for the athletic program and the band boosters. Many have been asked to work but they always found something else to do. If there had not been a few dollars that could go for the program Mr. Wolff and the board would have said so. Ninety nine percent of us greatly enjoy sports. We go to many ofthe games. We would miss these games. Athletics are necessary in our schools or our kids will go somewhere else. Sports help build strong bodies, develops the mind, teaches honesty, respect, and responsibility. The student will work harder in other classes in order to be eligible for his favorite sport. I h$ar-‘‘recall three members of the board.” I am against recall. If you want to recall anyone why not recall all the board? How many ofus would like their job? Service to the public has got to be an unappreciated labor. We as adults need to relearn respect and responsibility. Our school is doing very well. Our teachers are excellent. Our board and administrators have done their best to make this so. Let’s all get back, unite and work together to keep Maple Valley a No. 1 school. Stop our bickering, stop spreading rumors, find the truth, and of­ fer our help where we can. Let us give a little praise in­ stead of false criticism. Offer a helping hand. Yours for a peaceful, great 1987 for Maple Valley. Greta Firster Vermontville To the editor: I am concerned about the well being of our school district. It is so sad, to see all the positive things that have been happening, buried under all the negativism. I feel the school board has been doing a great job and working hard to get our school system back on the right track and for a salary of $200 a year. If you want to express your concerns, come regularly to board meetings, surely you and your comments would be welcome. We should be working together to make our school system stronger and better, not ripping it apart. Sincerely, Donna J. Garvey Nashville To the editor: Well, at long last, and long overdue, the Maple Valley school system is being evaluated from the top down. Has it been done previous­ ly? Not to my knowledge, or for public information except for accreditation which really holds no individual responsible. We finally have a board that runs their own meetings, stays awake, knows their business and lets the educators know it. We have a board that knows the law, state guidelines and expectations, and knows how to implement them. Now - does our community support, or applaud this phenomenon? Nope! Because oflocal pockets be­ ing lined, sweetheart deals and local “jocks” being kept happy, folks are up in arms for their businesses or per­ sonal interests would be jeopardized or at least disrupted. My challenge to the “New” action committee is to let the board do their man­ datedjob, let the chips fall and spend more time worring if the M.V. students are getting quality skills to prepare them for tomorrow.

Lester De Groot, pastor of the Nashville Baptist Church and chairman of the Maple Valley School Board Citizen's Advisory Commit­ tee. has commended the board and administrators for im­ provements made in the district since his group's Police investigate bank robbery suspects Two men thought by police to have been involved in the September and November robberies of Eaton Federal Savings and Loan in Nashville are being held in the Jackson County Jail, authorities said Monday. The Nashville Police Department along with the Barry County Sheriff’s Department and several other police agencies from the southern part of Michigan, in­ cluding the State Police Post in Coldwater and the FBI are currently investigating the two men. Nashville Police Sgt. Gene Koetje said the men were taken into custody following a bank robbery Friday in West ROBBERY, continued page 2 recommendations were released last year. “I am absolutely staggared by what I’ve seen here tonight,” DeGroot said'at the Dec. 19 meeting. Although DeGroot’s speech contained praise for the im­ provements, some district citizens, including some who wrote letters to the Maple Valley News this week, are upset with some of the remarks he made. The board had called the special meeting to describe the “state of the Maple Valley system,” Curriculum Coor­ dinator Vic Schug said. A number of citizens ad­ visory committee members were present along with other concerned citizens to hear reports by Jr.-Sr. High Prin­ cipal Larry Lenz, Assistant Principal and Athletic Direc­ tor Ed Sampson, Maplewood. Principal Dave Doozan, Fuller-Kellogg Elementary Principal Joy Frith and Maintenance and Transporta­ tion Supervisor Gerald Aldrich regarding district­ wide changes made since four additional operating mills were obtained in the June, 1986 election. In addition to a number of curriculum, maintenance, staff, extra-curricular and equipment improvements, DeGroot also praised the "Anybody that starts a recall is an idiot. Anybody who signs a recall is an idiot." — Lester DeGroot Rev. Lester DeGroot board for putting direction, trust and morale “back into the school district.” DeGroot said a represen­ tative ofthe state school board that rated the Maple Valley Schools a three on a scale of one to ten in 1985, now gives the district a seven. “Three cheers I say for the school board who has openly, honestly laid things on the table,” DeGroot said. “You may not like what you see but it’s open and it’s honest...I say three cheers to the school board who dared to look at our disease and dared to operate.” DeGroot went on to say the present board is the “finest school board that I’ve worked with in 26 years’1■and that he considers board president David Hawkins “the finest president this school board has ever had since I’ve been here.” DeGroot also commented publicly for the first time on the nearly two month old dispute between the board and Nashville man named Democratic Chairman Robert Dwyer of Nashville has been named the new chairman of the Barry County Democratic party, replacing chairman Robert Edwards who held (he post for the past four years. “The state of the party is good,” Dwyer said. “The leadership of Bob Edwards and his team has left us with a sound financial and organiza- tional base. But the best news is that Democrats have moved from being the ‘loyal opposi­ tion’ to that of majority party.” Dwyer noted that not only did Governor Blanchard carry Barry County by more than 3,400 votes, not only did Secretary of State Austin carry by nearly 3,000 votes and Attorney General Kelley by 2,300, but Congressman Howard Wolpe carried his part of the county as well. Most important of all, he said, is the fact that Democratic candidates for the University of Michigan Regent bested the opponents by a vote of 10,456 to 10,318. “Experts generally agree that the vote for the educa­ tional posts indidcates basic Robert Dwyer, center, of Nashville is the new Barry County Democratic chair­ man. At left is secretary Ardie Baum and at right is treasurer Ralph Smith. Not pictured is vice-chair Carol Gibbs of Middleville. (Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) party strength and we agreed,” Dwyer said. Dwyer is a graphic arts salesman for a commcrical printing firm in Lansing, and states he became interested in politics at an early age. “I've been involved in politics since I was old enough to walk and I care very much,’’ he said. Dwyer said he hopes to generate more interest in his party by providing more information to the people. He added political candidates views’ and ideas should be more clearly defin­ ed when running for office, and that communication with the public should take place on a more routine basis throughout the year rather than on the campaign trail exclusively. As chairman, Dwyer, will preside over county Democratic and executive committee meetings, he said. Also elected as party of­ ficers last week were Carol Gibbs of Middleville, vice­ chair; Ardie Baum who will serve as secretary; and Ralph Smith, treasurer. During the county conven­ tion held at the Barry County Courthouse Saturday, the group selected delegates to at­ tend the state Democratic Convention which will be held in Detroit Feb. 14 and 15. a group called Concerned Citizens for Responsible School Board Action over an evaluation of Superintendent Carroll Wolff by the board. The group felt the negative results, made public earlier this month, may have caused the supertintendent stress pro­ mpting his six week leave of absence. Some board member comments in the evaluation suggested Wolff resign or be dismissed. Since the evaluation was made public, a recall election of some board members is be­ ing pursued by some citizens, an action DeGroot feels is un­ called for. “Anybody that starts a recall is an idiot,” he said at the meeting last week. “Anybody who signs a recall is an idiot...” After the meeting, some citizens criticized DeGroot for making that statement, but DeGroot said he had not spoken out before because his church is being blamed for trying to oust the superintendent. “...so as a result of it I've stayed completely away so they can’t accuse me, DeGroot said Friday. However, DeGroot said he at­ tended the Jan 19 meeting because “since I was the president of the citizens com­ mittee. I had a right and a responsibility to be there...” Russ Furlong, chairman of the Concerned Citizens for Responsible School Board Ac­ tion, disagrees with RUMORS, continued page 2 Durkee named Vermontville Chamber of Commerce head by Shelly Sulser Vermontville Hardware owner Doug Durkee was elected president of the Ver­ montville Area Chamber of Commerce recently, replacing former restaurant owner Pat O’Dell who held the post for nine years. “My immediate goal is to get more people involved,” Durkee said. “If we can get more people involved, we’ll get more done.” Durkee, 32, is a native of Rochester having moved to Vermontville with his wife, Julee, nearly eight years ago. The couple purchased the hardware store early in 1986.

He said the board members should be voted out of office during a regular election ifthe citizens feel they are not representing them. “And get out there and get on the board yourself. That's how you do it without dividing and destroying our communi­ ty,” DeGroot said. He added he does not feel the results of the superintendent’s evalua­ tion are a legitimate reason to recall the current board. “It better be -mighty, mighty serious.

Howell, 72, of Tucson, Arizona, a former Nashville resident, died Jan. 8, 1987 in University Medical Center at Tucson, where he had been a patient for several weeks. Howell was born in Battle Creek on May 14, 1914, and moved to Nashville in 1918 with his parents Ransom and Florence Howell. Except for brief stays in Alabama, he liv­ ed in Nashville until the late 1930s, and attended Nashville High School. In later years, he lived various places in the South and Southwest. At the time of his death, he was self­ employed as a bookbinder. In recent years, he had writ­ ten a series of his colorful boyhood recollections of Nashville which appeared in the “Memories of the Past” column in the Maple Valley News. Subsequently these ar­ ticles were compiled by Howell in book form. He enjoyed hobbies of gardening, photography, astronomy and generally soaking up the culture of the desert area.

One area that is now being developed is an attempt to in­ crease the degree to which students come to class prepared to learn and to in­ crease the amount of time students are involved with learning activities. In an attempt to produce a good learning atmosphere, an effort will be made to reduce the number of interruptions that occur in the classroom. A renewed emphasis will be placed on expecting students grandchildren. No funeral was conducted as the remains were donated to the university hospital for medical research. A memorial service was held Jan. 11 at Tucson. to come to class prepared (books, paper, pencil, homework, etc.). Students will not be allowed to leave the classroom to go to their lockers, make phone calls, etc. An attempt will also be made to cut down on the number of bathroom passes that are issued. If your son/daughter has a medical problem which would necessitate frequent use of the restroom please contact the high school office (852-9275). Reemphasizing these guidelines will increase the responsibility of Maple Valley students , reduce classroom in­ terruptions, and enhance the amountof time students are on task.

The same procedure was followed, of course, dur­ ing the county fair at Hastings. If the railroad had a forewarning of extra passengers on certain days they would add extra cars to take care of the overflow crowd. “However, on one such oc­ casion the railroad missed the cue - and how. As the train pulled in it was quite obvious to all ofus standing on the sta­ tion platform that there wasn’t going to be enough room for all ofus to board it - in a con­ ventional manner, at least-. Something would have to give. The fanners, especially, were in no mood to be left standing behind (like a June bride at the altar) when the train pulled out. “Nowadays, the great fad seems to be to see just how many teen-agers can cram themselves into a telephone booth or compact car. Well, we had to use the same tactics on this particular occasion when we went to the fair. In addition to the seats being fill­ ed, folks sitting on each other’s laps, the ailes jamm­ ed, the platforms covered, the steps were even covered. No place for anyone suffering from claustrophobia. My brother and I finally found ourselves sitting on the next to the bottom step on the second car back from the baggage car. “Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fuller were sitting just above us. I remember. The train just crept along - hardly moving. Some of the more daring kids on the rear platform even jumped off and trotted along behind the train for a while. We Wondered if we would ever get to the fair before it was over with. We also wondered how in the world the conductor could ever get through the train to collect his fares. P.S. - He didn’t. As a matter of fact we never even saw the conductor, or the brakeman either, at any time. “Just before we reached Hastings, however, the engineer turned the throttle over to his fireman to just coast along and he came back to attempt to collect some lares. Of course he had no changer or receipts with him. He was a big jolly fellow in his coveralls. He could reach as far as he could with his bare hands over and around folks. Those who could make the correct change (28c, I believe it was) would pay. Some threw in a quarter, some a dime, and many not anything. It was just like taking up a col­ lection at Sunday School. “The engineer made the Memories, continued next page Leo Herrick remembered early village baseball contests: "Who can forget when the farmers came to town and took Nashville?" The games, which generally drew large, lively crowds of spectators, were held on the old ball park near the Thornapple River, just west of Main Street. That athletic field was officially donated to the village in the early 1900s by prominent local businessman Charles Putnam. Members of the Nashville team, circa-1908, are unidentified except for "Shorty" Purchis, left in front row, and Walter Scheldt, left in middle row. Morgan, Thornapple Lake, and Quimby were all local stops on the Michigan Central RR line that ran through Nashville in Leo Herrick's day. This photo shows the little depot at Thornapple Lake with a path leading up the hill to the hotel, out of sight at right. This resort was a convenient gathering spot for reunions and recreation. Nashville farm families came to town by horse and buggy, lodged their rigs at a local livery, hopped the train for a day of fun at the lake, and returned to Nashville on the evening run. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, January 27, 1987 — Page 5 Beech.

I believe that an evaluation can be a useful tool, if it is not used as a weapon. To the editor: I am writing about your editorial in the Maple Valley News this week. I agree with your position on the evalua­ tion, in that it seems to have been made into an axe, to do a hatchet job for some reason. I do not believe that the end justifys the means.

Ribs $4.25 Includes salad bar, bread, butter, potato and vegetable. I would like to comment on a letter from the January 20 issue of the Maple Valley News written by Mrs. Isabelle Dean. I have believed from the beginning of this “Superintendent evaluation” issue, that it should be left up to the people who know the most about it—so even though I have had my own opinions, I have kept them to myselfUN­ TIL NOW. I feel that when others start openly accusing and offending my father, (Loren Lehman) when they don’t even know him, that that is the time for me to defend him—as he has always stood by me. First of all, as for Mrs. Dean’s statement about the School Board’s action creating such a turmoil; I’d like to say that it take two sides to cause a turmoil and that I think that anyone could see that the members of the Board wouldn’t purposely start a turmoil that could jeopardize the whole system that they have been working so hard to improve. As for her suggesting that the Board is not capable of evaluating and that it should have been done before now. I have two things to say: (1) The School Board now is not responsible for the evaluations from 25 years ago. They are responsible for doing their job, and the Superintendent’s contract states that he is to be evaluated twice a year; and (2) Why wait—better late then never. Mrs. Dean also stated that she felt the evaluation was in­ tended to impress someone or to replace the Superintendent with someone else. Well, I don't know what the other six Board member’s ideas are, don't I believe I know better than she does what my father’s intentions are. He is on the School Board to try and make Maple Valley Schools the best that they can be for the futures of the students. And lastly, I guess the one thing that upsets me the most is Mrs. Dean’s accusations that my father is not “taking heed to the scriptures.” I also believe I know more about this aspect of my father’s life than does she. Maybe we all should be reminded of Mat­ thew 1:7 which states, “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” But of course I know also that it is impossible to go through life and never judge another; just as it is impossible to go through life and never hurt or offend anyone (which Mrs. Dean stated she had been taught to never do). So we all do our best and forgive and forget when we need to. In closing, I’d like to sincerly say that it is a shame that so many people have been put under pressure and stress because of this situation; but also that it is the way you choose to handle and face up to that stress that really mat­ ters. Who knows, maybe we all could use some “serious soul searching”—not just the Board members. Gina S. Lehman Nashville. SATURDAY NIGHT IS ...

I must at this time make a few statements regarding this unfortunate turn of events. In the beginning I relied upon the newspapers to pro­ vide the information, but as time wore on it was apparent that some inconsistant statements were being made. I decided to attend the January 12 regular meeting to ascer­ tain for myself who was say­ ing what. I was disappointed to see that the inconsistancies continued. I also was extremely distressed at the rating that the board gave to Superintendent Carroll Wolff in his evalua­ tion. I too, in the past have been somewhat critical of Mr. Wolff’s public relations abilities, but cannot fault his financial abilities at all. He has had the unenviable position of directing a “$4.5 million business” through some of the toughest economic times Michigan has faced in decades. For this, he was criticized for having “surplus funds, six years in a row.” I hope Mr. Wolff will run for Congress upon his retirement. No one there understands” surplus funds!” I do not wish to say that all of the evaluation was hog swill. There were some very good, constructively critical comments made. Their intent was totally diluted though by the extreme negative bias of some members of the Board. The special meeting held on Jan. 19, however, was an ex­ ceptionally inspirational event, up to a point. I wish more members of the com­ munity could have attended. They would have seen and heard, a point by point answering of the evaluation done by the Citizens Advisory Council; last year. All building administrators spoke of the improvements already implemented and those on the drawing board. They told of increased morale, enthusiasm and renewed dedication among the staffs. We also were told of the cooperative relationships that exist at all levels. They said this last six to eight months have been extrememly uplifting and satis­ fying. (Where did that superintendents evaluation come from? This same school district?) I said this meeting was in­ spirational, up to a point. After the school officials had delivered their positive report, one of the co-chairmen of the Advisory Council (the Rev. Lester DeGroot) delivered the most totally out of place speeches I have ever heard. I would like to refer to a book this man should be familiar with. The. Bible: “But I say unto you that every one who is angry with his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says.. You fool!’ shall be liable to the hell fire.” (Matthew 5:22) A public apology would not be out of order at this time. With the situation as tenuous as it has been lately, it would have been better to not say anything, than to say such in­ citing words as you did. Reason and temperance of thought are what the com­ munity leaders “have to” ex­ hibit at this time. We need to talk in terms of continuing the improvement of the Maple Valley Schools, rather than “rolling heads.” Candor on the part ofthe board must start immediately or “recall” will begin to sound moderate. Let us hope and pray that all concerned citizens will attend, listen and express their honest opinions to the Board. They are your instrument. They spehd your money. They affect your childrens’ and your neighbors childrens’ minds through their policies.

Also Mr. Aldrich listing building repairs, up-keep, and measures being taken to cut heat costs. I was particularly pleased, to hear of the efforts being made to change our school accreditation status from that of probation, to becoming fully accredited. However, it should be noted that very little can be done to even maintain, let alone up­ grade, any school system without substantial amounts of money. I am not questioning the excellent contribution the Citizens Advisory Committee made, or the board for im­ plementing the suggestions. But I am saying the taxpayers voting favorably for four mills in the last general election were responsible for these improvements. For approximately the past five years our school system, and many others throughout the state, experienced a severe shortage of operating funds.

A number of items in the presentation (new staff, staff inservice, building repairs) were a direct result of the ad­ ditional millage that was granted by you the voters last June. Those 4 mills have made a great deal of dif­ ference in your district not just for staffing but also im­ proving the buildings to make them more economical in achievements accomplished under the leadership of Superintendent Carroll Wolff and the Maple Valley Board of Education. Congratulations to the Maple Valley voters, for approving the four mill in­ crease that allowed this leadership to .excel. Sincerely, Stephen A.

Nashville, Tuesday, January 27, 1987 — Page 14 A look at the Young Fives Program Justin VanAlstine and Jacinda Elliston are involved in a cutting and pasting activity. Robert Williams and Bryant Griffin are "creating" with the geoboards. The Young Fives program, which is new this year in the Maple Valley Schools, has reached the midpoint of it’s first year. Thirty-six students are enrolled in the program, eigh­ teen in the morning class and eighteen in the afternoon class. The students are from both Vermontville and Nashville. The class has been designed to expose the children to a variety of experiences. Specific goals have been established tb allow the children to grow in physical ability as well as socially and emotionally. Most activities are approached through hands on experiences. The “Math Their Way” program has contributed greatly to this approach by allowing the children to use actual object manipulation in learning numbers, even to the extent of learning the concepts of more and less, adding and subtracting, shapes, sequenc­ ing, patterning and graphing. The children have also par­ ticipated in many gross and fine motor activities to help develop their skills in cutting, coloring, ’ skipping, hopping, galloping, tieing, zipping, printing their names and writing numbers. Some of the Painting at the easels keeps Sarah Rathbun and TiffanV F'^gerald busy. more popular activities in­ clude painting, using the balance beam, sand play, use of geoboards and blocks. One of the main goals is to establish good listening skills and work habits. The children’s activities in this area include following very specific directions, many times in a game-like format, keeping in mind that learning should be enjoyable. Fortunately, the Maplewood PTO has been very supportive of the Young Five’s program. They provid­ ed $250 at the beginning of the school year for the pur­ chase of equipment for the classroom. Recently-the PTO also provided the funds for the “Let’s Find Out” leaflets for each student. This Scholastic Book’s publiction provides supplemental learning in the areas of science, social studies, math and language arts at a kindergarten level. “Upon reaching the mid­ point in the school year, the Young Five’s students are much more confident in their abilities. They have discovered that learning can be fun. Hopefully this attitude will remain with them throughout their school years,” said teacher Merry Ossenheimer. Doug Crutcher and Craig Harvey are using the pat­ tern blocks in the "Math Their Way" program, (photos supplied) iiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Barry County Extension CALENDAR OF EVENTS num..................... 11111111....................

School Board member resignations by Shelly Sulser Petitions seeking resigna­ tions of Maple Valley Board of Education members are be­ ing taken door-to-door in both Vermontville and Nashville, drive coordinator Marilyn Roush said Thursday. Roush, who has put her recall push aside temporarily, said she and her supporters feel they should give the board the option to resign instead of possibly being recalled. “If they don’t resign, then the recall will go through,” she said. Roush would not comment on which board members resignations are be­ ing sought. Roush first began to in­ vestigate the recall procedure after the board made public its evaluation of Superintendent Carroll J. Wolff, which con­ tained a number of negative remarks and a low numerical rating. Roush and the Con­ cerned Citizens for Responsi­ ble School Board Action say a public comment by board President David Hawkins stating that the board is not trying to get rid of the superintendent contradicts statements on the board’s evaluation composite which suggest Wolff resign or be dismissed. The group also questions alleged policy violations regarding the procedure for reviewing the evaluation results with the superintendent. The cover letter of the evaluation form states that: “the individual evaluation in­ struments submitted by board members will not be seen by the superintendent since all in­ struments are to be returned to the chairperson of the board’s school Policy and Athletic Committee. This committee will compile the evaluation results and will meet with the superintendent to discuss, ex­ plain, and answer questions about the evaluation. Members ofthe board will see a composite evaluation prior to the time the superintendent receives it.” However, the board admit­ ted at the Dec. 29 special board meeting that the superintendent had received his composite before all the board members had seen it. “They hadn’t followed since June millage approval by Shelly Sulser Maple Valley School Recreational Development Corp, dissolves in5402 fee said recently. “The main reason for the corporation was td improve the riverfront as a park,” Chaffee said. “And now we’ve given that to the village.” The seven member MVRDC board has decided to divide the corporation’s assets among several local charitable organizations. The corporation board cur­ rently is comprised of presi­ dent Billie Rose, vice presi­ dent Lois Elliston, secretary Linda Frith, treasurer Sherry Varney, Sally McLean, Dick Chaffee, Larry Corkwell', David Hawkins and Joe Markham, with help from Bill Hecker. The MVRDC was original­ RECREATION, cont. page 2 Police still investigating bank robbery by Shelly Sulser Police have released the names of two men arrested Jan. 23 in Jackson County they believe may be linked to two recent bank robberies in Nashville. Stewart Murray Stoetzel, 20, of Parma and Joseph Franklin Bradway, 27, of Spr­ ing Arbor, were charged Fri­ day, Jan. 23, with the robbery of a West Unity, Ohio bank, FBI officials said. Doug Dornin, supervisor of the FBI’s Toledo office, said the pair is alleged to have held up the West Unity Farmers and Merchants bank in the town located about 65 miles west of Toledo. No weapon was seen, he said. The case has been turned over to the FBI’s Detroit of­ fice, Dornin said, and both men remain in custody in Detroit following arraignment on bank robbery charges. Locally, Detective Sgt. Ken DeMott of the Barry County Sheriff’s Department and Nashville Police Sgt. Gene Koetje are still piecing together evidence that may lead to the pair being charged for the September and November .1986 robberies of the Eaton Federal Savings and Loan in Nashville, they said. Several other police agen­ cies from the southern part of Michigan, including the State Police Post in Coldwater and the FBI are also currently in­ vestigating the two men in connection with several other bank robberies committed recently. Koetje said his current in­ vestigation involves compar­ ing fingerprints left from the November robbery with those of the men in custody. Six local witnesses are ex­ Roush. “The public is becoming more aware of the situation as time goes by. They’re realiz­ ing a change has to be made on the board.” She added that when enough signatures are gathered, the petitons will be presented , to the board members involved. Administrators cite improvements Riverfront Park in Nashville is the completed project of the Maple Valley Recreational Development Cor­ poration that has decided to disband. The group will place a marker in the park and install a fence as their final projects. (Maple Valley News file photo) by Shelly Sulser Having fulfilled its self­ appointed charge to create Riverfront Park in Nashville, the Maple Valley Recreational Development Corporation (MVRDC) has agreed to dissolve, member Dick Chaf- policy on his evaluation. They didn’t go through the step of sitting and meeting with Car­ roll,” said Roush. “They just handed it to him in­ stead. . .These are the types of things we’re going after (the resignations for).” In all there about six peti­ tions in circulation, said suspects pected to observe the suspects in a police line-up, Koetje said, which could lead to war­ rants being issued for the ar­ rests of the men in connection with the Nashville heists. The first Nashville robbery which occured Sept. 5 was followed up with a similiar in­ cident Nov. 10 when bank cameras captured a photo of the theif. Police said witnesses believe one man perpetrated both robberies. No weapon was seen at either incident, which are believed to be the first bank robberies in Barry County history. District administrators reported recently that addi­ tional counselors, physical education and music classes, teacher inservice and roof repairs are some of the many ways the system is benefitting from added operating millage. Voters in June approved an additional four mills for district operations and maintenence which provided the means to act on recom­ mendations wnade by the Citizens Advisory Committee. “We’re looking at the cur­ riculum and instructional con­ dition of the district,” Cur­ riculum Coordinator Dr. Vic­ tor Schug said at the beginn­ ing of the Jan. 19 special school board meeting. Schug said the purpose of the meeting was to describe the state of the Maple Valley system. Others giving reports on various areas of the school operation improvements were Jr.-Sr. High Principal Larry Lenz, Assistant Principal and Athletic Director Ed Samp­ son, Maplewood Elementary Principal Dave Doozan, Kellogg and Fuller Elemen­ tary Principal Joy Frith and Custodial and Transportation Supervisor Gerald Aldrich. Schug explained one recom­ mendation of the board ap­ pointed Citizen Advisory Committee which studied the district in 1985, was to im­ prove communications within the district. “We as an administrative team have taken extreme ef­ forts to make sure that takes place,” said Schug. “That’s what this meeting is tonight / to let you know where we are.” At the junior-senior high school, classes have been add­ ed for students with excep­ tional abilities, Lenz said in his report to the committee. “We’ve added an algebra class^for eighth graders,” he said. "It offers eighth graders and opportunity to earn algebra credit.” Thirty students are taking eighth grade algebra this year, he said, and he considers the pro­ gram to be “extremely successful”. Also in the math depart­ ment, Lenz said remedial classes will be offered -for seventh and eighth graders beginning in the 1987-88 school year. Other changes meeting committee recommendations are: individual junior high class schedules; a new office computer system that makes grading, attendance, and scheduling quicker and more accurate; an attempt next year to offer both physics and chemistry as opposed to alter­ nating years; new shop equip­ ment and more teacher inservice. Lenz added the school should qualify to be removed from University of Michigan Accredidation probation as a result of the numerous im­ provements that have been made. Elementary Principal Joy Frith noted efforts are being made to follow committee recommendations that the schools schedule field trips at all levels. She pointed out elementary students have visited the cir­ cus, a museum and an art gallery, and that sixth graders will travel to Greenfield Village next year. At the high school level, FFA members recently attended the National FFA Convention, while those involved in “Project Close­ up” will make a trip to Improvements, cont. page 2 School Spaghetti Supper set for Friday Feb. 13 A spaghetti supper will be held on Friday, Feb. 13 in the Maple Valley High School cafeteria.

Project APEX (A Process in Education Excellence) is a teacher training program two Maple Valley administrators and 18 teachers took part in last summer, and there have been 30 teachers who attended Doozan reported numerous changes in the elementary curriculum to meet what the ad­ visory group said to be “critical needs.’’ Those changes included the addition of a full-time counselor, reinstatement of vocal music, physical education, Weekly Readers and the purchase of new copy machines. Another new program is the developmental kindergarten class taught at Maplewood School in Vermontville. “The Young Fives class is perhaps the bestt move we have made in the valley,” Doozan said. He explained youngsters tested who are found not ready to enter kindergarten can be placed in the Young Fives developmental kindergarten class. He added new district music teacher Carol Kersten had various conferences this year, she said. More monthly staff meetings are also held to help improve communications, said Frith, and a monthly newsletter at the elementary levelftas been developed. Another goal of the district is to revise text books every five years, Frith noted.

Doozan said because there has been no physical educa­ tion in recent years, the students are not up to passing the Presidential Physical Fitness Test. “There are not many who are going to get commenda­ tions from the President this year because we have not had physical education,” Doozan noted. “So with the reinstate­ ment of physical education, we are on the right track.” Doozan also noted: teacher evaluations are held once a year by contractual agreement and non-tenured teachers are evaluated three times per year; new resource materials are becoming available at Kellogg with help from PTO and a new layout was im­ plemented for high school library. Beginning with this year’s sophomores, he added that all students will be required to take one semester ofcomputer literacy. Doozan said the PTO’s have: established a creative teacher fund; provided printers, carnivals, presenta­ tions at PTO meetings, a self­ esteem (DUSO) program, ex­ tra needed supplies, gym equipment, playground equipment, and special assemblies. Transportation and Custodial Supervisor Gerald Aldrich noted in his update on buildings and grounds at the meeting that a number of repairs have been made in district buildings, and that roof repair is a major project currently. He noted the recent replace­ ment of doors at the high school and the sanding of the high school gym floor that took place last summer. Aldrich also said several win­ dows have been removed from the Kellogg and Fuller Elementary School buildings in Nashville to help save energy. He added that new fans and lights have been in­ stalled in the school kitchens “making them a lot brighter.” Aldrich said he would like the citizen’s com­ mittee to make a second tour of the schools to view the improvements. “It’s just great,” he said. “The halls are better and the ll. programs in the various well. “I think it’s a tremendous grades and that a recent Tthing for students at Maple shirt project by the student Valley,” he said.

Schools compete in 1987 Alma College “Quiz Bowl” Maple Valley High School is among 55 Michigan high schools competing for $32,000 in scholarships in Alma College’s 1987 High School Quiz Bowl. Alma’s single-elimination tournament is scheduled for three consecutive Saturdays starting January 31 and conti­ nuing through February 13. Called the “varsity sport of the mind,” Quiz Bowl is a game of quick recall and fast response played between two teams of four players each. The participating schools are divided into two divisions, determined by school size, with 31 class A and B schools competing in one and 24 C and D schools in the other. Each division will have a champion and a runner-up. Competing in the C-D Divi­ sion, the Maple Valley team plays Ashley at 10 a.m. January 31 in South Van Dusen. In addition to receiving trophies, the final four schools in the 1987 Quiz Bowl com­ petition will share $32,000 in Alma College scholarships. The two winning schools each receive an Alma College Quiz Bowl Scholarship worth $10,000 over four years and the two runners-up receive Quiz Bowl Scholarships worth $6,000 each over four years. The schools can designate the Quiz Bowl Scholarship reci­ pients, but the recipients must be admitted by Alma and must meet Alma College’s scholar­ ship standards. All first-round matches January 31 will be played in Alma’s Tyler-VanDusen Campus Center, with matches scheduled in both the Louanna Baker Jones Auditorium and in South Van Dusen. Twentythree matches are scheduled at 40 minutes intervals from 8:40 a.m. through 4 p.m. One school in A-B division and eight in C-D have first-round byes (automatic wins). The matches are open to the public without charge. Maple Valley Athletic Boosters BINGO MAPLE VALLEY H.S. CAFETERIA THURSDAYS • 6:30 PM Door* Open 5:30 • Early Birds 6:15 building.

Herrick became a U.S. Customs Service officer and after his retirement in 1965 moved back to the family homestead of his wife, the former Edna Mayo. He died in 1974; she passed away 11 years later. The following collection has been excerpted and compiled by topic for presentation in this series and does The old time barbershops did a thriving business, remembered Leo Herrick, for even though there were "beards galore" there was usually some part of the face that had to be shaved. In those days barbershops were strictly a man's domain; a lady would never think of entering one. This early undated photo shows the shop of Frank J. Purchis, a Nashville barber for over 50 years. Purchis,.who died in 1936 at age 83, also was a local musician, playing in the first band ever organized in the village. not necessarily follow the order of the original text as it appeared in The Nashville News in the early 1960s.) “The old time barbershops did a thriving business. There were beards galore, ofcourse, but usually some part of the face had to be shaved. Beards were supposed to be a sign of masculine strength. Some went in for big fancy mustaches. There were mustache cups for sale in all the department stores. These particular china cttps had a bridge across the top to keep the mustache out of the coffee while drinking. There were even left-handed mustache cups for those that held their cups in their left hand. The bridge across the top would be just the reverse from the right­ hand cups. These cups are all collector’s items nowadays, of course. “Some ofthe other men had no mustaches at all but sported Van Dykes. Others would just have chin whiskers (like Un­ cle Sam) while others would wear goatees to go with their mustaches. , William Cody (Buffalo Bill) sported one of these types of beards. “A barber really had to work to earn a dime. A shave was -only ten cents. I often wonder what even happened to all those engraved china shaving mugs that used to line the shelves of most barber­ shops. Electric razors were not even invented at that time and anyone that used a safety razor was considered a sissy. “A woman would never think of entering a barber­ shop. In fact, she wouldn’t even look toward one. Except perhaps, take a sly peek now and then. With all those diver­ sified beards and mustaches during that era, it must have been really something to con­ tend with. The beards, perhaps mixed with tobacco juice or pipe smoke, or both, must have been a problem for the ladies. On rare occasions (thank goodness?) when it was necessary for the husband to leave his wife for a few days to attend jury duty in Hastings she would have to kiss him good-bye on the station plat- There were mustaches, Van Dykes, chin whiskers, goatees: "A barber really had to work to earn a dime," reflected Herrick. When it came time to kiss her husband goodbye, the beard must have been a problem for a lady of that era, thought Herrick, especially if it were mixed with tobacco juice or pipe smoke. These three beareded ones (from left, Dr. R. S. Trask, L. M. Burgess, and Rev. Ed Sheldon) are from a large composite picture of 171 local business and professional people compiled by Nashville photographer C. M. Early in the early 1900s. In the wintertime, farmers hauled logs into Nashville for processing. Timbers often were sent East to be used in the building of ships. Leo Herrick recalled the difficulty of conveying logs so huge that no single sleigh was long enough for the task; several had to be joined together. With such a load, good braking power going down hill depended upon having sharp-shod heavyweight horses on the tongue. A good layer of snow facilitated transportation of the heavy loads, as seen in this 1910 scene near Levering, Mich. Note dog on top of load. form as he boarded the train for the west. That must have been just about as thrilling as putting her face up against a moldy haystack. “However, beards didn’t go out of existence for another 10 or 15 years. Men still stub­ bornly stuck to the old tradi­ tion. It finally took a gorgeous movie queen by the name of Agnus Ayres to put the final ax to beards. She was femininity in the first magnitude and to be kissed by her would probably make a man forget where he left his hat, yet, no matter how much money they offered her in the movies she absolutely refused to kiss any man that had any kind of a beard. She said a beard was not only un­ sanitary, but silly as well. That did it. The sale of razors jumped over night and off went the beards like chaff in the wind. And all the time the men were shaving, they were also thinking about Agnus Ayres, on the side, no doubt.” “Allie Brooks, the deputy sheriff, lived in Nashville, just a half block off Main Street. He was a law enforc­ ing officer that almost always got his man, even if he had to chase him half way to Hastings, Woodland, or Battle Creek. He had two fast horses and possessed exceptional ability in tracking down wanted law violaters. He had a revolver that used detached ammunition. The bullet was slipped into the chamber first but it would not fire until a fir­ ing cap was placed over a hollow tube in front of the chamber. This caused the ex­ plosion that fired the bullet. “As time went on, he pur­ chased a new pearl-handled Colt that used attached am­ munition. Just slip the bullet into the chamber and it was ready to fire. When he pur­ chased this gun, he gave his old gun to my brother, Dale, and me. Also an enormous supply of firing caps - minus the bullets, of course. Conse­ quently, my brother and I possessed an honest-togoodness big he-man revolver that sounded like a cannon when we fired it but it did no damage because there were no bullets in it. “Of course, we had to make a solemn promise that we would never, under any circumstances, loaded or unloaded, point the gun toward another person and that was a promise that we never violated.” “Len W.

Mr. DeGroot started by saying the school had no direction. It is the school board’s duty to give that direction and to set goals and objectives. Mr. DeGroot stated that a state man had rated Maple Valley Schools in May of 1985.On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest, Maple Valley rated a three. Just last week this same man rated Maple Valley a seven. In the mid 1970’s with the school running very smoothly and many more courses offered o than now, would we have perhaps rated a nine? Mr. DeGroot said thanks to all administration with the ex­ ception of Carroll Wolff. He said thanks to the school board. He said thanks to the Citizens Advisory Committee and rightfully so. These peo­ ple worked many hours com­ piling their reports and recommendations. They also helped greatly in getting the millage passed. All this was thanks for the school being better this year than last. No thank yous were given to the over 600 voters who said yes to the millage in June of 1986.

It’s been a rough year for us. Personal tragedies as well as moldy crops from too much rain, not to mention some of the poorest prices ever for grain. We’re not the only ones suffering either.

In my opinion, we have an excellent school system, because the people who want to take the credit and downgrade those who did the work for the past 26 years. The people know how it all came about, they’re not idiots. Carroll Wolff has operated this school district with a minimum of funds. Our students score as good or bet­ ter than the national average on college entrance exams and hold their own at the major colleges and universities.

Ann Olmstead Vermontville Correction— Portions of two sentences were inadvertently omitted in a letter to the editor last week from Harold G. Hansen. Here is the way the fourth paragraph should have read: “While I can understand any man who supports a cause in which he believes, I was both appalled and shocked by the rhetoric of Mr. DeGroot at the January 19 meeting. He chose to ignore that many of the citizens in the audience were the very people who put forth a great effort in consolidating the Nashville and Vermont­ ville school systems. For him to have the unmitigated gall to refer to us as idiots and jackasses was way out of line. Rather than bringing reasonableness to a situation, he only succeeded in damag­ ing his position, and strengthing our resolve to make some changes.” charitable contributions.

Barry County participants raised $2,118.50 last year. Last winter, the CAA fuel assistance.program along with the money raised by the 1986 Walk for Warmth helped 1,147 households in four counties with an average pay­ ment of $158 to their fuel sup­ plier. Despite that effort 1,500 families were turned away because of narrow eligibility requirements or because the money simply ran out, said CAA’s Dorothy Clements. Frequently, according to the CAA, people needing help in the four-county area spend 31 percent of their heating season income on heat, com­ pared to 7.2 percent spent by the general population. Many who apply for help are classified as working poor — people who make too much money to qualify for assistance but too little to pay their heating bills.

Lions snap losing streak by racing past Olivet 65-47 Maple Valley snapped a three-game losing streak last Saturday by outlasting Olivet 65-47. The win upped Maple Valley’s record to 2-9 overall and 2-6 in the SMAA. The Lions used a muchimproved shooting game from both the field and free throw line to topple the Eagles. Maple Valley hit 23-of-46 (50 percent) field goals and 19-of-21 free throws. “We’ll take a win anytime — it’s a long time overdue,” said Maple Valley coach Jerry Reese. “It’ll do a lot to boost our morale and ge. us working again.” The Lions built a substantial first half lead — 16-11 at the end ofone period and 36-24 at the half — and. were never threatened in the second half. Tai Gearhart led Maple Valley with 24 points, in­ cluding 10 straight free throws. George Steinbrecher added 20 points and 4 rebounds.

These wins brought the team’s records to 3 wins and 6 losses on the year. The improved defensive effort of the entire team has made the difference according to Coach Swinson. The Potterville game was a close one all of the way. Maple Valley lead the game until the fourth quarter, then fell behind by 3 points. With excellent defense, good shot selection, and patience the team regained the lead. Mickey Shilton scored 7 ofhis game high 21 points in the last quarter. Bob Allen had a fine game handling the offense and scoring 14 points. Brandon Roscoe played an outstanding defensive game and scored 8 points. While Cevin Cornish hit the boards for a season and game high 8 rebounds. Friday night at Olivet was a physical, nerve racking game. As has been the case all year the opposition had a height and weight advantage over Maple Valley’s Freshmen. The full court press and 14 court pressure defense slowly wore down the Eagles. Maple Valley took the lead for good at the end ofthe fourth quarter 27-25. Team Defense brought this win home. Outstanding defensive per­ formances by Brandon Roscoe and Cevin Cornish were very instrumental in the win. High scorers were Cevin Cornish were very instrumental in the win. High scorers were Cevin Cornish with a game and individual high of nine points, followed closely by David Nickel with 8 and Bob Allen with 7.

Vol. 115 - No. 28 — Tuesday, February 10. 1987 Nashville voters to choose three trustees Monday Voters in Nashville will go to the polls Monday to decide which three of five Republican candidates for council will advance to the Mar. 9 general election ballot. Incumbents Sue Kienutske and Ben Mason are seeking to retain their current trustee posts, while Don Williams, Ray Hinckley and Sidney Green are also in the race for the three available two-year village council seats. (Current trustee Richard Chaffee, Jr. chose not to seek re-election). The Feb. 16 primary elec­ tion will be held at the Castleton Township Hall Sidney Green when the polls will open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m., ac­ benefit the council and the cording to Nashville Village people of the village, he says. Clerk Pam Godbey. Green, 39, is the Sidney Greenfeels more owner/operator of R&F In­ openess and honesty would dustries in Nashville, and has Suzanne Kienutske Ben Mason Raymond Hinckley made several previous bids for public office in Nashville. Green, a lifelong Nashville resident and his wife, Agnes, live with their three children: Mike, 12, Tony, 10 and Maria, 7 at 255 Fulller Street. Suzanne (Sue) L. Kienutske, 41, of 209 E. Washington St., says one of her main goals as a village trustee is to “help make Nashville a better place to live.” She is employed by Michigan Livestock of Battle Don Williams Creek, and has two children, Lee, 19, and Lona, 16. “Living and raising my children in the environment of VOTERS, continued on page 2 Vermontville police to be laid off beginning March 1 by Shelly Sulser The two Vermontville Township Police officers may find themselves without jobs beginning March 1, when the village council has decided an “indefinite layoff’ will take effect. “This is not due to anything except for we have run out of money,” said Village President Sue Villanueva last week. Police Chief Jim Fawcett and officer John Stidham said they had no indication they would be laid off when they met with the council in closed session to discuss their wages. “They told us this was a decision that was made to­ day,” Fawcett said following the session Thursday.” The council and the township began discussing the future of the joint department last November after it was learned revenue sharing funds allocated for the service would be unavailable. Bailey resigns Vermontville post Vermontville village trustee William C. Bailey resigned his council post last week due to what he says was a conflict between himself and another trustee. Although his letter of resignation read to the council did not state his reason for resigning, Bailey said Friday his committee reports were restrained by another member of the council. Giving an example, Bailey said as a member of the Streets, Drains and Sidewalks Committee, he was sent to discuss a matter with a resident and to report back to the council. “When I got to the meeting, another member had already brought it up and they were sitting there discussing it,” said Bailey. “I said I had talked to the guy but he (the coun­ cil member) said to ‘be quiet’.”■ Bailey’said a similar incident took place at the following regular council meeting, “so I decided ‘they don’t need’ me so I just dropped out.” Bailey and his wife, Janice, say they are are also skeptical of the way some business was being handled by some council members, and that some decisions may be influenced by outside sources. BAILEY, continued on page 2 William C. Bailey During the 1986-87 fiscal year, the council had budgeted $54,810 for police wages, equipment, uniforms, officer training and ammunition, with less than one fifth of that amount paid by the township. But despite an agreement by the township board to con­ tinue paying their $10,000 for the department, the decision was made by the council to in­ definitely lay off the officers. “It was the only way we could go,” said Villanueva Friday. “If we terminated the department, we would not be looking into grants and things like this. This way, with them on indefinite layoff, we can still do something. Because once it’s terminated, it’s gone. That’s why we put them on. in­ definite layoff.” Villanueva said unemploy­ ment benefits would be paid to the men for six months. “So we’ve got at least six months to look into by Shelly Sulser A suit against the Maple Valley Board of Education was filed in Barry County Cir­ cuit Court Friday by area resi­ dent George Hubka, deman­ ding the release of seven in­ dividual evaluation documents used to complete a summary assessment of Superintendent Carroll Wolff. The suit also seeks explana­ tion ofthe possible destruction of the forms, and $500 in damages. Hubka claims the board has violated the “Freedom of In­ formation Act” by failing to respond to a request by Hubka to obtain copies of the in­ dividual evaluations. Noting he had submitted a written request for the forms and for a copy of the com­ posite summary read at a public meeting Jan. 12, Hubka said he was later in­ formed the individual evalua­ tion documents- had been destroyed. “If the forms have truly been destroyed, I would re- quest that the board in­ vestigate and determine the person responsible and so in­ form me, as well as the date of the destruction, means whereby they were destroyed and who had authorization to order such destruction of public documents,” Hubka said in a Jan. 19 letter to board members. Also in the letter, Hubka indicated court action would be requested should the board not comply. In his suit, Hubka states that SUIT, continued on page 3 Stidham, who has been with the police agency for four years, said he is not satisfied with the decision. “I really feel that there are other avenues to pursue to keep this department in opera­ tion,” he said. “Whether the officers are full or part-time or whatever... maybe there is a possibility ofcutting in other areas.” Although Villanueva says the Eaton County Sheriff’s Department is obligated to respond to calls in Vermont­ ville and Vermontville Township, the officers feel the local department is impor­ tant to the residents. . “It’-s one of those things where people in this area are not going to realize what we’ve done here until we’re gone,” Stidham said. Fawcett added that “I think the people are going to notice POLICE, continued on page 2 State school officials meet with board, citizens groups the composite assessment as a tool to “draw up and develop Maple Valley school board goals.’’ In return, Ossenheimer said members and representatives from a local citizens group that Russ Furlong and Jerry met with two state school of­ Brumm, co-chairmen of the ficials last week in Charlotte Concerned Citizens for where they reached a verbal Responsible School Board Ac­ compromise agreement, tion, along with former board trustee Dale Ossenheimer said member Wayne Cogswell agreed not to proceed with a Thursday.

She add­ ed the layoff decision came at this time because a new budget will be presented to council next month and “there just wasn’t any room for it (the police department).” The officers, however, feel there are other options. “I realize they have no money or very little money but I think this council and past councils should have come up with something if they could have forseen this,” said Fawcett. Fawcett began as a parttime officer ,jn Vermontville when the department was formed in 1980, he said. At that time there were about eight other officers, and the force was later trimmed to two full time officers in March of 1984, with Fawcett as chief, he said. declined comment on the meeting. However, Ossenheimer said Saturday Furlong had decided Elliot need not attend his Sunday (Feb. 8) citizens’ meeting. Ossenheimer said the agree­ ment between the two sides was proposed by Dr. David Donovan ofthe State Board of Education and Elliot, who were present at the Feb. 2 meeting. “I think of it as a mutual understanding of purpose of direction, so we can try to begin working together as a community for the benefit of the kids,” Ossenheimer said.

Hinckley, who has lived in Nashville 44 years, has been president of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, president of the Maple Valley Recreational Development Corporation and is a 1946 graduate of Nashville High School. Ben Mason, an incumbent, was appointed the council in July 1986, and served two trustee terms in the 1950’s. He is a member of the Nazarene Church, and works as a volunteer at Pennock Hospital, Life Line, Thomapple Manor and Love, Inc. of Barry County. Mason, 60, is a retired business owner, and lives with his wife, Thelma at 733 Reed St. He has two sons, and four step sons. Mason says he is not seek­ ing an office but was en­ couraged to “let my name be put up for election. “If elected,” he says however, “I will serve to the best of my ability or belief.” Don Williams, 49, was asked by several residents to run for council, he says. a community such as Nashville has been for the most part really good,” she says. “We enjoy the small town closeness and yet are in need of some advantages of a larger city such as more businesses, more activities for the youth and senior citizens and more involvement in all phases of community living. This is why I am running for trustee, to become more in­ volved with my community.” She added another goal is to “keep the people ofNashville knowledgeable as to what the council has planned for it’s future.” Raymond Hinckley has held three previous two year tertns on the village council during the 1970's and is mak­ ing another bid for public of­ fice.

Latch-Key” children Mar. 4 7"Uj Uj "8^ SSJ: John is a typical nine year old who takes a school bus to school and back again on a regular schedule. Today is a bright, beautiful day and as John leaves the bus on his return trip home, he mentally makes plans to play out in the snow until his parents get home. Because of his day dreaming, he doesn’t realize that the front door of his home is standing open un­ til he reaches for the door knob. Now, he’s in a quandry — what should he do? John represents one of many children that are left in a self-care situation while their parents are away from home. It is not clear how many children are-in self-care each day, but it’s not a new phenomenon. Through the joint efforts of the Eaton Cooperative Exten­ sion Service, Eaton County Health and Sheriff Depart­ ments, a special latch-key program will be offered on Wednesday, March 4 from 3:15 to 5:15 p.m. at the Maple Valley High School Cafeteria (bus transportation will be provided to the program from the elementary schools), for fourth and fifth graders. The program is designed to teach survival skills that in­ clude topics such as home safety and emergency pro­ cedures; simple house rules; first aid, coping with loneliness, boredum and fears and how to prepare healthy snacks. Ifyou are interested in hav­ ing your child attend, stop by the school office and register your child. A SI donation will be greatly appreciated. Deadline for signing up is Feb. 26. It will be the parents responsibility to arrange transportation home. If you have any questions, please call Mona Ellard at 543-2310 or Maple Valley Community Education at 852-9275. Suit filed against MV. Board through information gained in a conversation with a member of the board's Policy and Athletic Committee on Jan. 18, he has reason to believe the forms were still in ex­ istence as of that date. “That being the case, such action on the part ofthe board through it’s representative, Mr. (David) Hawkins, and its attorney, Mr. (Don) Bonato, be adjudged by this court to be an arbitrarily and capriciously designed refusal or delay...”, the suit states. Hubka, acting without an attorney, demands in the suit that a court order be issued forcing the board to provide the requested documents and to comply with the Freedom of Information Act. He also demands: that ifthe forms had truly been destroyed, the board disclose details regarding the destruc­ tion: that the court grant reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and disbursements: and S500 as punitive damages. Hubka said Friday the board was to be notified ofthe suit just prior to the beginning of its regular meeting Mon­ day, (Feb. 9). from Page 1 The suit has been assigned to Circuit Court Judge Hud­ son Deming.

Tuesday. February 10, 1987 — Page 4 Teacher's words helped former Nashville student through life (Following is a continuation reminiscences written more than a quarter­ century ago by the late Leo Herrick for publication as "The Great Balloon Ascen­ sion. ' ’ Bom in 1896, Herrick grew up in Maple Grove Township, and his writings now provide a keen and witty glimpse of day-to-day life in the Nashville community of the early 1900s. Herrick became a U. S. Customs Service officer and after his retirement in 1965 moved back to the family homestead of his wife, the former Edna Mayo. He died in 1974; she passed away eleven years later. Thefollowing collection has been excerpted and compiled by topic for presentation in this series and does not necessarilyfollow the order of the original text as it appeared in The Nashville News in the early 1960s). of boyhood “Only four miles south of Nashville was located the Quailtrap school in as primeval a setting as the Acadians in Nova Scotia in the days of Evangeline. A Nashville teacher by the name of Bert Parrott taught there for a period of three years, driv­ ing his horse and buggy out from Nashville each day, and received the respectable salary of $35 a month. “On rare occasions, and under certain conditions, this teacher would philosophize. Most of the kids realize there is more to life than they can find in textbooks. Reading books on philosophy doesn’t do much good at that age, any more than reading a lot of famous quotations. So many of them are either contradic­ tory or repetitious in nature they are confusing. Still the kids are mighty hungry for a little enlightenment on how best to cope with the problems of life that will soon beset them. What they need is a lit­ tle food for the soul. Something to off-set the bit­ terness that might take posses­ sion of it otherwise. “Back fifty or -sixty years ago in the country schools the teachers didn’t get much money, the school had just one large room for all eight classes, the only heat was from the old wood-burning The teacher young Leo Herrick most admired was Bert Parrott, who taught at Quiltrap for three years. He drove out from Nashville each day with his horse and buggy - a rig perhaps similar to this one occupied by three unidentified young men in front of Nashville's 1891 pump house at Waterworks (later Putnam) Park. As a teacher at Quailtrap, Parrott received the respectable salary of $35 a month, and during his tenure there imparted to young Herrick words of wisdom that would serve for a lifetime. Teachers had authority, with paren­ tal backing, in that era. Were your heart specialist. > 20%“ New COSMETICS for your “Facial Expressions” See our spring colors of lipsticks, eye shadows and blush.

No library books, ex­ cept an old beat-up and badly torn Webester’s Dictionary. There was no inside plumbing (or outside either for that mat­ ter) and not even a pump at the Quailtrap. We brought the water from a spring over in the woods and by the time we’d get back to school with it half of the water would be slopped out of the pail. Just one tin cup for the teacher and all 43 kids to drink out of. “Yes, indeed, the teachers lacked a lot of proper equip­ ment in those days but there was one thing they had plenty of. That was authority. No fooling about that, believe me. Those fanners would back up a school-teacher 100 percent every time. We were taught to respect and obey the teacher, or else. Well, we didn’t want any part of that ‘else’ stuff. Ifwe got punished for anything in school we didn’t go home and protest. We kept mum - hoping they would never find out. Those parents figured that they were paying hard-earned money to the teacher to educate us and if they wanted to philosophize that was their privilege and we kids had better pay attention, too. “So, in an atmosphere like this words spoken by a teacher really carry some weight. So much so, in fact, that a kid’s whole life might be changed for the better, because of it. I can remember, word for word, what Mr. Parrott said to his eighth grade class, but all of us could listen in on it, of course. It has helped me immeasurably through life so I’ll pas the words oh to any of the younger generation that might benefit. “Remember, these words were not spoken in a day but covered a period ofthree yeas by Mr. Parrot. In one sense of the word they could be said to cover a whole lifetime as none of the other teachers ever mentioned these things — even in high school. Here they are: ‘revenge is now sweet. It is bitter. ’ ‘If you lack a sense of humor, than you also lack friends.’ ‘Keep your mind neat and in order. Don’t clut­ ter it up with a lot of cheap novels.’ ‘Jealousy and envy are deadly poisons to the soul. Have nothing to do with either of them as long as you live.’ ‘Train your mind to remember things. If you lack the power to remember than you also lack the .power to forget. They go together.’” “It was during the last week in May, 1904, that an impor­ tant event occurred. The first automobile passed the Quailtrap School. One of the girls first detected a strange noise and slyly peeked out the south window. As the window was high, she had to raise quickly up out ofthe seat. The teacher noticed her; however, and being very strict, she was just about ready to reprimand her when she, too, took a glance out the window to see what her pupil was really looking at. Well, what she saw made her forget about reprimanding anybody. Then the rest of the kids began to crane their necks to see what it was that fascinated the teacher so much. “Down the big hill came a strange looking vehicle without any horse on it, or perhaps I should say, in front of it. It was travelling on its own power. We had heard there was such a thing as an automobile but none ofus had ever seen one. Or our teacher, either, I might add. In fact, I believe she was more excited than we were. In spite of the fact that she was very strict she excitedly yelled, ‘School dismissed.’ We could hardly believe our ears. We didn’t even take time to march- out but all bolted for the front door (in fact it was the only In May, 1904, an event that would forever be etched upon the minds of young Quailtrap scholars prompted a quick dismissal from classes by a normally strict female teacher: the first auto they had ever seen chugged past the schoolhouse. She and the children witnessed the historic occasion with zest, curiosity and a measure of apprehension. The driver, in goggles and duster, "looked like a stranger from another world." This photo shows an early auto, some 10 years later, being driven by young Merrill Hinckley, later a longtime local mechanic and service station operator. door to bolt to) at the same time. “As the strange looking vehicle approached the front of the schoolhouse and the driver saw all of us kids out there he slowed up to give us a chance- to see it better and in so doing he accidently stalled the motor. The deep sand ruts didn’t help any, of course. The driver looked like a stranger from some other world. He had on a long gray duster, huge black gauntlets over his hands, a black leather cap with wide forepiece and enormous goggles covering his eyes. Of course there was no top on the auto or any windshield either, just a short curved dashboard in front of his feet. “There was no steering wheel. A short ‘stick’ across his lap answered that purpose. If he wanted to turn right he would push on the stick and if he wanted to turn left he would pull instead. The wheels were the same as buggy wheels except they had hard rubber over the wooden "Only four miles south of Nashville was located the Quailtrap school in as primeval a setting as the Acadians in Nova Scotia in the days of Evangeline," wrote Leo Herrick. Born in 1896, he attended school there as a youth, and probably the building looked little dif-ferent than it does in this 1928 photo. The Quailtrap was the first public school in Maple Grove; the first building being located in Section 24. The later structure (above) was built more than a century ago in Section 25, on South Clark Rd. just north of Cloverdale Rd., and now is a private home. The pump out front was added after Herrick's days there. fellies. The small talk of gasoline was under the seat and under that was the little one-cylinder motor with a chain running back wheels. Cog wheels at both ends ofthe chains, of course. “He couldn’t have picked a better spot to stall his motor — for us kids. He gets a crank and sticks it in the side of the machine (not the front) and cranks and cranks. Not a sputter. In the meantime we didn’t dare get too close to the infernal machine for fear it might blow up. We were almost as fearful of gasoline as we were of dynamite. We had heard of people getting killed when their gasoline lamp or lantern blew up. So we stood around watching his struggle to get the thing started and at the same time just about making up our minds that a contrap­ tion like that could never replace the horse. Too unreliable. “Evidently the driver had had trouble like this before because he knew what to do when it wouldn’t start. He had to siphon off a little gas from the tank, remove the one and only spark plug, and squirt the gasoline directly into the cylinder. Then he cranks it again and it starts going putput-put. He climbs.back into the seat and reaches down and gives the claxon horn a couple of squeezes, waves and smiles at us kids, and starts down the road. We have just witnessed an important event in our lives and had something to talk about for a long time to come. We also realized the teacher was a pretty good lady after all.” (To be continued next week) �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday.

DeGroot said the current school board had put direction back into the district but Furlong said he could find no where in the program review where direction is mentioned. “We’ve studied the report and find it to be quite com­ plimentary,” said Furlong. “It commends the Maple Valley students and their parents and the teaching staff for dedication. Furlong said he also found no where in the report, filed in May 1985, where it states there was a lack of trust. “He said there was a lack of communication between the school and the parents,” said Furlong. “But what I find (in the report) is that the commit­ tee commended the students for their success due to their own efforts combined with the inmiiiiiiiiiimmiiiniiiiimiiiiNiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnT From our readers Reader surprised that Wolff ratings not higher To the editor: After-reading the article in the Jan. 20th Maple Valley News “Sixteen former school board members rate Carroll Wolff,” I was amazed the rating wasn’t much higher than maybe a 2.8 or 2.9. As one of the former board members said in the article “we depended on his advice on matters.” If I were one of the long term board members I would feel very sad for leading Mr. Wolff into a false- sense of security. Now for a school board do­ ing evaluations in the form of verbal compliments and sug­ gestions, that’s a joke. Perhaps the present school board has made some candid remarks in regard to Superintendent Carroll Wolff. But I believe they have ac­ complished one positive fact. They have finally got his com­ plete attention, one thing I don’t believe (is that) previous school boards were able to accomplish. Now the school board puts him under undue stress, so the concerned citizens for respon­ sible board actions say. But to my knowledge Mr. Wolff has not said this to be the case. Now some people want the school board to resign or they will have a recall. I’m wondering why? More to come R.L. Mix Nashville New member of community looks for caring people । q 111 N.

I can hardly believe some of the backbiting that goes on. It’s enough to scare new peo­ ple out of the community.'It seems that when someone comments on something con­ troversial that there is always someone lurking in the background just waiting to jump at the chance to disgrace someone. Why don’t these concerned people run for the committee, board, etc., when the time comes around? Find out the work that goes into each job, the many hours over and above working hours that goes into it, and of course, the pay. It seems that the biggest complainers are sometimes the ones who do not do a thing, but complain. Did you ever speak the wrong words at the wrong time, make a mistake or something similiar? You would want a second chance, wouldn’t you? Let’s give the board a se­ cond chance and let them and Supt. Carroll Wolff work it out instead of everyone pick­ ing everyone apart. This is not good for the community---and our children they should be our main concern. Let’s start caring about one another and our neighbor.

Acting as co-chair of the Concerned Citizens for Responsible School Board Ac­ tion, Furlong made this state­ ment of his group’s position: “The Concerned Citizens for Responsible School Board Action is well aware that any school board has a thankless task to perform and we feel thankful for all the school board members that have been dedicated in support of better, education. But we feel it was bad judgement to so critically and maliciously evaluate the one person who has worked with the boards with dedica­ tion, concern and honesty; at a time when his career is so near the end. We feel the at­ mosphere of the evaluation summary was malicious and detrimental to the character and professionalism that Car­ roll Wolff has displayed at Maple Valley.” Latest Putnam Public Library contributors announced The latest contributions to Putnam Public Library’s building fund came recently in memory of Roger Hampton by Margaret Wagner; in memory of Mabel Musser by Leon and Helen Ackett; and in memory of Charles Higdon by Lloyd and Eunice Priddy, Nathan and LaDuska Sheldon, Doris Hazelton, Doreen Sher­ man, Nelson and Geneva Brumm, Ivan and Phylis Bab­ cock, Maurice and Ardis Pur- chis and Shirley Brumm.

I’d like to ask him, if morale was at an all­ time low, what they had it to compare to when they were only at the school one day,” said Furlong. However, it is stated on page four of the report that “...staff morale is low.” “I challenge or question if Rev. DeGroot has anything in writing or in print to back up those four derogatory com­ ments that we take offense to,” Furlong said. When asked if he had directed such questions to DeGroot, Furlong said he did not get satisfactory answers. Furlong also said he found it “appalling” that when DeGroot was commending the administrators for district im­ provements, he failed to recognize publicly the efforts of his co-chairperson Susie Butler and those of sub­ committee chairs Sue Bahs, Lorna Wilson and Bill Kipp. Furlong felt credit was due to the remaining members of the Citizen’s Advisory Commit­ tee and to Superintendent Car­ roll Wolff. “Three cheers I say for those peoples’ dedication,” Furlong said. “We feel the to get back to education To the editor: This is in regards to the re­ cent turn of events concerning the Maple Valley school system, the school board, the concerned citizens group, and the community as a whole.

The Vermontville Township Board and the Ver­ montville Village Council have voted to approve joining with other local governmental man Harold Stewart. So far, Castleton has given tentative approval, while the others have not 'responded either way. Lake Odessa Housing Coor­ dinator Cheryl Storey met with some area governmental representatives to explain the program at a recent Vermont­ ville Township meeting. Storey, who coordinates the Community Home Improve­ ment Program (CHIP) for Lake Odessa and surrounding communities, said the project was designed to help families in need to procure low interest loans to refurbish their homes. Outright grants could also be obtained, she said, depending on financial need. The maximum a resident could be loaned is $15,000 while the maximum outright grant (funds that do not have to be repaid) would depend on the household income. In Lake Odessa, however, the units to seek a special Small Cities Community Develop­ ment Block Grant. If Castleton, Maple Grove and Kalamo townships and the Nashville village officials agree to join Vermontville in the program, all could share in a $250,000 (maximum) federal grant as a combined unit for restoring individual housing, said Vermontville Housing Committee Chair- Phone:726-0330 Ifancy BEAUTY SHOP 157 Sou& Maia V»raoon»riU«r Mich. ih» wsour MArLt VALLtT baton board of realtors Real Estate 227 N.

Stewart said a local screen­ ing board would be established to determine residents who qualify for the funding, and that money to fund im­ provements would be paid directly to the contractor, rather than to the resident. Storey said currently, nine surrounding governmental units presently benefit from the federal home improvment funds secured through the state Department of Com­ merce. Grant money is allocated through the Depart­ ment of Commerce Small Cities Program while loan funds are secured through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority and administered through Lake Odessa. She noted the Maple Valley area would have a better chance to obtain the block grant if all governmental units joined together, because the need would be greater. “It’s very competitive,” she said last August when talking to the Vermontville council. “We really have to fight for it (in Lake Odessa).” She noted only about 50 com­ bined units per year are fund­ ed out of nearly 125 that apply. If enough of the nearby governmental units agree to compete for the funding, Storey would handle the paperwork and application for a $2,000 fee from each unit if the money is awarded, plus a percentage ofthe grant money for supplies, etc. “We won’t know until January whether we get the funds,” said Stewart. If the money is granted to the Ver­ montville area, the program would operate for two years. Storey said Monday she plans to attend the Thursday meeting of the Nashville Village Council to make a presentation about the home improvement program.

TEMPTING TOPPERS FOR FAMOUS PUMPKIN PIE Pumpkin Pie may be one of the most traditional of all holiday pies. This All-Amer­ ican dessert made its first ap­ pearance oh the Thanksgiv­ ing tables of New England colonists. For many,, holidays just don’t seem complete without a delectable pumpkin pie (or two) to celebrate the season. Some pumpkin pie purists prefer theirs plain, or with only a dollop of whipped, fluffy cream. There are, how­ ever, a wide variety of ways to glamourize this favorite traditional pie with flair and fun. One easy way to garnish Famous Pumpkin Pie is with miniature cheese pumpkins. Cut pumpkin shapes from slices ofprocessed cheese and arrange them on the cooled pie. These golden-orange “pumpkins” make particu­ larly fun pie toppings for Hal­ loween or Thanksgiving. Another appetizing topping variation likely to please cheesecake fans—is a cheese­ cake-style topping. Sour cream, sugar, and a touch of rum flavoring make this creamy sauce a truly rich and flavorful contrast to the spicy flavor of pumpkin pie. A third opportunity for dressing up pumpkin pie lets you go “nicely nutty.” By add­ ing crunchy walnuts to your favorite.pie crust, and then toasting some extras to use as a garnish; you have an espe­ cially tasty and innovative pumpkin pie. Serve it at holi­ day meals as a traditional, yet distinctive, dessert.

The new queen is brown­ eyed Amy Walker, daughter of Dennis and Cindy Walker of 6753 Allegan Rd., Ver­ montville. She will be crown­ ed during Vermontville’s an­ nual Maple Syrup Festival, which is held he last weekend in April. Amy was chosen for the ti­ tle from a field of four other candidates during judging Feb. 9 at the Vermontville Congregational Church. The contest was held following a Vermontville Lions Club dinner. Annette Powers, daughter of Richard and Gwen Powers, is the runner-up, alternate queen. Serving on the royal court are Sheri Forell, daughter of Jon and Bertie Forell; Aman­ da Lynn Ramey, daughter of Kermit and Linda Ramey; and Nicole Lynn Bayha, daughter of Janice Bayha of Vermont­ ville and George Bayha of Nashville. Amy says she is “looking Members of the '87 Maple Syrup Queen's Court are (from left) Nicole Bayha, Sheri Forell, Annette Powers, runner-up (alternate) queen; and Amanda Ramey.

It will be fun to work together.” She also is modest about her win and says she doesn’t want the court to think of her as the syrup queen. “I just want us all to be friends. I don’t want to stand out,” said Amy. Besides being a football and basketball cheerleader, Amy, a junior in high school, plays the flute in the school band. She is active in the youth group at the Charlotte Church of Christ and is a member of the Vermontville Junior Farmers 4-H Club. Amy enjoys sewing and cooking and told contest judges that using maple syrup to make baked beans is one of her favorite ways to use Ver­ montville’s famous sweet product. Playing the piano and writing are other interests she enjoys. Amy plans to attend col­ lege, but says she’s undecided about a career to pursue. She has contemplated being a kindergarten teacher because she enjoys children and she’s also thought about a business career. The new queen has blondish-brown hair and is a petite five feet, two-inches tall. Born in Lansing, she and her family have lived in Charlotte and for the past 14 years in the Vjermontville QUEEN, continued page 2 School Board, concerned citizens group reaches accord by Shelly Sulser The Maple Valley Board of Education and the Concerned Citizens for Responsible School Board action hoped last week that a joint agree­ ment would put to rest their dispute over an evaluation of the superintendent and alleged policy violations. The two groups, represented by Dale Ossenheimer, Dave Hawkins and Loren Lehman from the board and Russ Furlong, Jerry Brumm and Wayne Cogswell from the citizens group met in a private session Feb. 2 with Dr. David Donovan of the State Association of School Boards and Don Elliott of the Michigan Association of School Administrators, where the agreement was reached. (See complete text of agree­ ment in accompanying story.) Furlong read the agreement at the board meeting, but the board took no further action on the matter. The board members and the citizens group leaders agreed to develop good working rela­ tionships and trust among the citizens, administrators and school board. The agreement also praised the 20 years of work for the district of Superintendent Carroll Wolff. But despite the positive position of the signed docu­ ment and urging by Carroll Wolff that all “get on the same rope and pull together”, a recall of the Ossenheimer, Lehman and Hawkins is being pursued by Marilyn Roush. Roush had said previously that if the three would not resign, the recall process would be resumed. Roush and the three board members met last Thursday with the Barry County Elec­ tion Commission to clarify wording on the recall peti­ tions. Roush was directed at that meeting to restate the wording on the petitions and return for a second reading, she said. Speaking to those in atten­ dance at the school board meeting Feb. 9, Wolff in­ dicated he hopes the com­ munity and board will be able to forget the past and move ahead to achieve a better education for students at Maple Valley. “We have people in this adSCHOOL BOARD, cont. page 2 Nashville Council hears home improvement presentation by Shelly Sulser Co-Chairman of the Concerned Citizens for Responsible School Board Action (standing) Russ Furlong reads a joint- agreement between his group and the board's Policy and Athletic Committee — Dale Ossenheimer, David Hawkins and Loren Lehman.

Lumbert said one of the bullets, which appeared to be from a ,22-caliber rifle, was found after it had apparently struck a wall inside of the building and landed on a desk top. Lumbert surmised that since there were no bullet holes on the opposite (north) side of the building, the bullets were probably shot from a passing car on Nashville Highway, he said. Holes were found in win­ dows next to the main door of the school, in the windows of the assistant principal’s office and in the windows of another room, she said. One bullet had apparently tripped the alarm earlier that morning, sending sheriff’s deputies to the scene to investigate. There are no suspects in the case, the sheriffs department spokesman said, and the inci­ Syrup Festival Queen continued from front page area.

Herrick become a U.S. Customs Service officer and after his retirment in 1965 moved back to the family homestead of his wife, the former Edna Mayo. He died in 1974; she passed away eleven years later.

For Almost all farmers had a sugar bush in the days of Leo Herrick's youth. The smoke from wood fires under the sap pans spiraled up through the tree branches, and the "aroma of boiling sap sweetened the air," recalled Herrick. In the early 1900s most farmers used the open drip pans, but some of the more progressive ones * Nashville had her "days of glory" in the past, recalled Leo Herrick, a time when the village was so busy that it seemed it "would burst at the seams. Logging, trapping, syrup-making, wool and livestock marketing, creamery business: whether the farmer needed Nashville more than Nashville needed the farmer was difficult to determine, said Herrick. Hitching rails and utility poles line Nashville's main thoroughfare in this circa-1910 photo, taken on a moderate-traffic day. On a busy Saturday in the early 1900s it was not unusual for the Nashville News editor to count upwards of 200 rigs on Main Street at one time. Nashville. The early settlers in Maple Grove were Quakers and the old Quaker Cemetery is located on a hill in a forest not far from the springs that form that source of Quaker Brook. Two soldiers of the Revolutionary War are buried there among the black walnut, black ash and hard maple trees. “Quaker Brook was quite a famous stream in the old days. It provided water for the up­ per and lower mill ponds that in turn was used to provide power for the Hagerman mill. The Hagerman mill was a some, ice harvesting was a livelihood. One was John Miller, seen at work with his crew in this circa-1915 photo at Downs Lake near Nashville. Packed in sawdust, ice was stored in the shed at left for summer­ time use. Miller harvested and delivered ice locally for more than 30 years. enclosed their evaporators in shanties, as seen in this about-1910 of the Curtis Pennock family harvesting the sweet bounty on their Maple Grove Township farm. In Herrick’s childhood syrup sold for 35 cents a gallon. When it finally climbed to $1.25, many folks quit buying it, considering it too expensive. mighty busy place during the summertime; sawing up thousands ofthe big white and red oaks into rough lumber and at the same time grinding feed on the upper floors. “Of course in the winter­ time the ponds were frozen over and the farmers for miles around gathered ice there and stored it in their ice houses. No one ever heard of manufactured ice in those days or electric refrigerators either - that is, in this neck of the woods. The ice in the up­ per pond would usually average eighteen to twentyfour inches in thickness. We would have huge torchlight skating parties and the kids would come from miles around.” “Maple Grove was really just what the name implied. Around the turn of the cen­ tury, and up to about 1907 or 1908, before so many of the big majestic hard (sugar) maples were slaughtered, the township ofMaple Grove pro­ duced enormous quantities of maple syrup and maple sugar, and, of course, Nashville was the shipping point or hub of the industry. Believe it or not, Michigan even shipped maple syrup to Vermont. That is a matter of record. “Starting about the first or second week in March and continuing until the sap starts to get ‘buddy’ the sugar bushes were all busy and it seemed like most all the farmers had a sugar bush of their own. The smoke from the wood fires underneath the sap pans spiraling up through the branches of the trees and the aroma of the boiling sap sweetened the air. Most everyone used the open drip pans and would ‘sugar off about every third day, if the sap was running good. “In the meantime, of course, it might rain and the strong March winds would blow dirt, leaves and bran­ ches, etc., into the pans of boiling syrup, but who cared? A few impurities didn’t hurt anything we figured, because they would all be boiled out anyway. We kids even used to take a lot of eggs out into the woods and boil them in the pans of syrup. I was even pushed into one of the boiling pans of syrup once. It was accidental, of course, and I managed to get out before any damage was done — except to my nerves. All of these things helped to make the finished product more colorful, of course, even if it didn’t im­ prove the flavor. “However, the sap as it comes from the maple trees is colorless, same as water. Therefore, why isn’t the finished product, maple syrup itself, also colorless? Well, it could be, and even would be if all impurities and foreign mat­ ter (and that includes rust from the sap buckets, even a tiny amount) were kept out of the sap and then the sap con­ verted to the finished product extremely fast. In other words, even though all im­ purities are kept out ofthe sap the syrup will still be red ifex­ posed to the air too long in boiling. So it was a Nashville farmer, Nelson McOmber, whose farm was four miles south, that really produced a perfect syrup... No housewife could be more particular or immaculate than he was. “In the spring, wherr if came time to tap, he hung rust-proof buckets on all the' trees and each bucket had a tight fitting cover to keep out all foreign matter that might fall or blow into it from the wind. He gathered it every day when the sap was runn­ ing, and poured it into a wooden vat mounted on a stone-boat drawn by two horses. As he poured the sap into this vat it passed through a very fine cloth strainer.” (Herrick’s account then gives a detailed description of subsequent strainings of the sap before it was boiled by steam-thrasher power inside a tight building in the woods. McOmber carefully monitored the evaporator, drawing off syrup every 20 minutes in one-gallon cans, ready for market.) “The (McOmber) syrup was absolutely colorless and so sweet and condensed that it would candy on top in just a few minutes if left in an open dish. In fact it was so pure (I supposed it had a gravity of at least thirteen pounds to the gallon^ altho no one ever weighed syrup in those days) that by pouring sorpe into a dish and stirring it for a while it would turn into sugar. Or it could be poured onto some ice or snow and it would turn into wax immediately... The McOmbers were very friendly and generous folks and they always had lots of sugar par­ ties at their house, stuffing everybody with all the syrup and sugar they could hold. “Syrup sold for thirty-five cents a gallon, then fifty cents, then seventy-five cents. When it got to $1.25 a lot of people quit using it, consider­ ing it too expensive. “There was no state law regarding the sale of maple Continued on next page— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, February 17, 1987 __Page 5 syrup now. is there like Nobody ever weighed the syrup, or sealed it, or labeled it. They just poured the stuff quality until they went to serve it. The excellent, the very good, good, fair, the bad into cans, screwed on the top and that was that. To go to a store in those days and buy a gallon of maple syrup was just and the very bad all looked the same from from the the outside outside of of the the same cans. It varied in weight from about about eleven eleven to to thirteen thirteen pounds a gallon and in color like buying a pig in a poke. No one had any idea what the from dirty brownish red to absolute colorless, like Mr. McOmber’s syrup. “ o th e r w o r ds , t o g o to gallons of maple syrup meant that that you you might might get get stung stung onon poor quality or you might hit the thejackpot jackpot and and walk walk out outwith with two gallons of the perfect e sI ntor e a n d b u y a c o up l e o f the syrup.” (To Be Continued Next Week) Mace Pharmacy Microwave class and tax seminar offered locally A microwave cooking class will be held held at at Maple Maple Valley High School Tuesdayevening at 6:30 p.m. If you would like to attend the class, call the Maple Valley Community Education Office at 852-9275.

State St. ^Throughout the annals of nearly every nation on earth, there seemed to be certain men, and in some cases, women, who were born to be lead­ ers. They may have differed widely in appear­ ance and philosophy of government, but the greatest of them, including our own founding fathers, had one important thing in common. They placed their reliance on faith, and made no secret of it; in fact, it was this very humble atti­ tude which helped them earn their place in his­ tory. Whether on the eve of battle or any time a momentous decision had to be made, they prayed for God’s guidance to help them lead the nation in the right direction. We can best honor their memory by following their example; so let us attend our House of Worship and thank God for their wise leadership, which among other things gave us the right to choose it. — 23 YEARS EXPERIENCE — Earl Furlong 852-9728 (tafiMiteF ifaf I jea: ix#®-.'- GOODTIME PIZZA ■at , — jje-cst^3 119 North Main, Nashville IkOiiti «q 852-0882 ti« itmdfln ti nkji^^ nc si 1kJiO*J rtt^S P llti S ifff TRINITY GOSPEL CHURCH 219 Washington St., it **5J*I* fiWltrff «!> fflrf liit «!> & i®’ )00y lt*’ *A' t *A it t $ --aaX/ * O* t itt11 £% it £% P & \&l it »< Nashville Sun.

We ask citizens, staff and students to join with us, to put antagonisms aside and to build a better educational system. In building a better system we must all work together, and we must build upon the good system we have now. The system has many strengths and we must thank past boards of education, staff members and most assuredly the leadership of Carroll Wolff ofthe past 20 years. All contribute much, but we can accomplish even more. “In the past two years, the community and school staff has identified needs, ideas and directions for the district. They were identified through the community survey, review of educational programs, and the citizens’ committee. The intent of the school board is to respond by developing district goals consistent with the fin­ dings of the report and to work with staff and citizens to accomplish them. In fact, board members wish to thank the citizens for time spent for the schools as evidenced by the positive results in last year’s millage election. Also, thanks are to the staff for their support and implementation of Syrup time arrives in Maple Valley area 4THEMULTIPLELISTINGSERV1CE Nashville area man Wayne Pennock tapped his trees last week, one of the first veteran syrup makers to do so during the unseasonably warm weather. Pennock learned the traditional method from his father and grandfather, and makes near­ ly 300 gallons of fresh maple syrup each year. He says he can now devote more time to the process since he ended his family dairy business last summer with the Dairy Termination Program. (Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) 227 N.

The troop had planned to participate in the Polar Bear campout on Saturday night but because the requirement of 24 hours at or below 32 degrees could not be met, it was cancelled. They will try to make up the Polar Bear at a later date. The competitive events at the Klondike included fire building, knot tying, sled check and compass work.

All students who turned in money will receive a certificate of appreciation. Mr. Doozan, Maplewood principal, said he was ex­ tremely pleased with the effort of the children. “I was a little hesitant at the beginning,” said Doozan, “I knew this community always did well in the M.S.

It far exceeded my goal of $1000. Students who have not yet turned in their money may still do so. Although the first donation has been sent in, Doozan will send in any others he receives. Children will still get their t-shirts and certificates even in the money is turned in late.

The best thing about being a landlord is collecting rent on time. The worst thing about being a landlord is collecting your renters' problems. So its nice to know that when a problem does arise, you have Auto-Owners Rental Dwelling Insurance. And that’s no problem. Because Auto-Owners writes its own rental policies, they can offer you broader coverage than most. In fact, you can receive nearly the same protection that you have on your own home. You can even buy replacement cost coverage if you qualify.

(Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) From our reader Vermontville free for criminals To the editor: Can you believe what’s go­ ing to happen March 1st. Our town is going to be without law! So we, the criminals ofVer­ montville and surrounding areas, have decided to take advantage of this situation. This town is really going to liven up now. We’ll be free to race up and down South Main. Who cares if we use your pet as target practice. We’ll be free to sell drugs at the schools, or break into the opera house. With no one to keep an eye ’ on the bars and drunks, drunk driving will go up considerably. Since we have been given the freedom to do as we like, the more violent people will have a free-for-all. They can assault anyone who gets in their way, rape or even attempting murder if they please. Wait until the Syrup Festival, with thousands of bikers doing whatever comes to mind. So we do bless you council members, for this lawless town. I will recommend it to all my criminal friends as a nice place to live. Thank you again, “The Criminals” The incidents described above are just a few of the complaints the police depart­ ment has been called upon to respond to. What’s going to happen when they are gone? Contrary to popular belief, the county police are not obligated to respond to any calls.

NASHVILLE 852-0713 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, February 17, 1987 — Page 14 Streaking M.V. Lions bounce Bronson in overtime game 62-60 Brock DeGroot hit a pair of free throws with 58 seconds left to give Maple Valley an exciting 62-60 overtime win over Bronson last Friday. DeGroot, who scored 12 points off the bench, had stolen the ball a minute earlier and scored on a layup to tie the game 60-60. The win was the fourth in a row for the streaking Lions, now 5-9 overall and 4-6 in the SMAA. Bronson drops to 6-4 and 10-7. Lion Coach Jerry Reese, whose team has won its last three games by a total of six points, said the win was a big one for Maple Valley. “We felt we played ex­ tremely well,” he said. “We’ve been in a lot of close games and now we’re winning’em instead of losing’em.” Tai Gearhart led Maple Valley with 24 points before fouling out. George Steinbrecher added 19 and DeGroot 12. Scot Lenz chip­ ped in 5 before he fouled out. Reese said it was the Lions’ bench that played an in­ strumental part in the win after the Lion starters fouled out. “The bench played a big part,” he said. Maple Valley trailed 14-9 after one period, but rallied to outscore Bronson 16-10 the second eight minutes to lead 25-24 at the half. After the Lions outscored the Vikings 16-12 in the third period for a 41-36 lead, Bron­ son roared back in the final eight minutes. Bronson out­ pointed the host Lions 22-17 to send the game into overtime. Bronson scored the first two points of the OT before DeGroot took matters into his own hands. Maple Valley didn’t shoot all that well from either the floor or free throw line. The Lions hit 17-of-45 field goals and 28 of a whopping 43 from the line. Bronson was 21-of-52 and 18-of-28.

February 24, 1987 Maple Valley salutes National F.F.A. Week, March 23-28 The last week of February has been designated as the of­ ficial National F.F.A. Week for all chapters throughout the nation. This year’s National theme is "F.F.A. - Leaders for the New Fields of Agriculture." The present task of all F.F.A. chapters and Vocational Agriculture programs is to widen the scope of instruction and activities. The concern is that too many students with strong farm backgrounds are being lost not only to produc­ tion agriculture but to the many agribusiness opportunities. Full time farming makes up only 2 percent of the nation's employment statistics, while 17 percent of the nation’s work force is directly involv­ ed in agriculture through agrelated and agri-business careers. There are many agrelated areas that project in- creased human resource needs for many years to come. “It is a large task to inform the nation of opportunities in Vocational Agriculture and F.F.A. but it is one that we eagerly undertake,” said a spokesperson from the local F.F.A. Locally, the Maple Valley F.F.A. chapter has been in­ volved in several activities this month. During February of each year, F.F.A. Eaton Federal Savings and Loan robbery suspect to plead guilty, attorneys say Joseph Franklin Bradway, 28, of Spring Arbor, is ex­ pected to pead guilty to charges he robbed the Eaton Federal Savings and Loan in Nashville, news reports say. Bradway, now being held in Kent County Jail, apparently signed a plea bargain agree­ ment in Federal District Court in Grand Rapids Wednesday. Bradway agreed to plead guil­ ty to robbing banks in Barry, Calhoun and Hillsdale coun­ ties in exchange for state and federal authorities not filing additional charges against him for robberies in the federal Western District of Michigan and the federal northern District pf Ohio between July and January, reports say. An accomplice, Stewart Murray Stoetzel, 20, of Par­ ma, agreed to plead guilty to helping Bradway rob a Branch County bank, according to his attorney, said reports. The pair will enter their pleas before Judge Richard Enslen in Kalamazoo, but a date has not yet been set, a court spokesperson said Monday. Both men face maximum penalties of 20 years in prison and fines of $5,000 or alter­ natives fines of $25,000. members compete in leader­ ship contests at District and Regional levels, with the eight regional winners competing at the State Convention in March. Last week the Maple Valley F.F.A. competed in the Leadership Contests from the first time in several years. Fif­ teen members went to Bellevue for the District con­ test on Feb. 12 competing against F.F.A. chapters from Caledonia, Charlotte, Hastings, Lakewood, Olivet and host school Bellevue.

Car radio stolen from Nashville auto lot A car stereo worth nearly $300 was stolen from a vehi­ cle on the lot of Clayton’s Auto Sales in Nashville, owner Clayton Boles said Monday. Boles discovered the radio was missing Saturday when he was showing the 1979 Toyota Sellica to a customer he said. Nearly $100 damage was done to the dash board of the car which had been locked when the incident occurred, said Boles. Boles is offering a reward of $200 for information leading to the arrest and con- viction the person or persons involved. The theft is the latest of several incidents involving cars at Clayton’s Auto Sales over the past two years, and remains under investigation by the Nashville Police Department. Barry County Judge will decide fate of local displaced pigs The Barry County pro­ secutor’s office has asked that the fate of 30 hogs and 10 piglets recently seized from a field near Nashville be decid­ ed by a. Barry circuit judge. “We want to get out of the pig business as soon as possi­ ble,” Chief Assistant Pro­ secutor Dale A. Crowley explained. Crowley filed a motion in Barry County Circuit Court last Tuesday asking that the pigs be either turned over to a Lansing-based lending institu­ tion or sold at auction. Barry County animal con­ trol personnel have been hous­ ing and feeding the animals at the Barry County Fairgrounds since Feb. 9, when the pigs were seized from Curtis Road residents Joseph and Susan Shay. The animals were severely undernourished and eating each other when a judicial order was obtained to remove them from their pen in a field near the Shays’ home, accor­ ding to Ron Wilson, Barry County animal control supervisor. “We’ve got a lot of money into them already,” Wilson said of the pigs, which have been consuming a ton of feed every four or five days. Prosecutor Crowley said a lien, or claim to ownership, has already been placed upon the pigs by Production Credit Association, an agricultural financing institution. Production Credit filed suit in Barry Circuit Court last June asking that the pigs be turned over to it or that Susan Shay repay money she ap­ investigating possible criminal parently owes the institution. charges against Susan Shay, “Since it appears that it’s and said Shay has already undisputed- that Shay owes been charged in Barry County Production Credit the money, District Court with six counts we're asking that either the of letting her animals run at pigs get turned over to the large, misdemeanors creditor or that the pigs get punishable by 90 days in jail sold,” Crowley said. and/or a $100 fine.

Tuesday, February 24, 1987 — Page 3 Church Women United plan "World Day of Prayer" set for March 6 World Day of Prayer an 100-year-old prayer move­ ment of global dimensions celebrates its centennial on Friday, March 6, proclaiming the theme, “Come and Rejoice”. The World Day of Prayer is a worldwide expression of mutual prayer and Christian unity. Its uniqueness is that its expression is found in local communities and its leader­ ship is laywomen of the church. World Day of Prayer, begun in the United States in 1887 as a day of prayer for mission, had developed into a movement in which Christians in about 170 countries and regions of the world gather each year to observe a com­ mon day of prayer. The same theme and war­ ship service is shared and translated into hundreds of languages and dialects. In many countries the event serves as a catalyst for women to come together as they work to bring about changes in their lives. Church Women United has been the official sponsor of World Day of Prayer resources and materials throughout jie world. Church Women United is the ecumenical movement that br­ ings protestant, Roman Catholic and Orthodox Livestock program 'looks to the future by Roger A. Betz, Extention Agricultural Agent Growth hormone research and other aspects of animal agriculture in the 21st century will be the theme of programs sponsored by the Department of Animal Science during Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) Week, March 24-27 at Michigan State University. “Science, Technology and Animal Agriculture in the Year 2001” is the title of the department’s main program on March 25. The morning session will examine global concerns relating to the future of animal agriculture; the afternoon session will review growth hormone research in animal science. This emphasis on biotechnology in animal agriculture will interest many Michigan farmers, predicts Extension dairy specialist Julie Chaplin. “Research in such areas of animal science as growth hor­ mone is coming to the forefront,” she says. “Research is fairly recent in this area, so there are a lot of misconceptions and unanswered questions, as well as a lot of ‘partial knowledge’ relating to the work being done with growth hormone. By covering these topics, we hope to clear up some ofthese misunderstandings. ’ ’ Sylvan Wittwer, director­ emeritus of the MSU Agricultural Experiment Sta­ tion (AES), will present the first session of “The Global Perspective of Animal Agricultural Into the Year 2001.” All ANR Week programs, workshop costs and associa- tion meetings are detailed in a free guidebook now available through the Eaton County MSU Cooperative Extension Service office, 126 N.

Tuesday, February 24, 1987 — Page 4 Memories of the past by Susan Hinckley An elephant wouldn't cross over Nashville's old rickety bridge (Following is a continua­ tion of boyhood reminiscences written more than a quarter-century ago by the late Leo Herrick for publication as “The Great Balloon Ascension.” Born in 1896, Herrick grew up in Maple Grove Township, and his writings now provide a keen and witty glimpse of day-to-day life in the Nashville community of the early 1900s. Herrick became a U.S. Customs Service officer and after his retirement in 1965 moved back to the family homestead of his wife, the former Edna Mayo. He died in 1974; she passed away eleven years later. The following collection has been excerpted and com­ piled by topic for presenta­ tion in this series and does not necessarily follow the order of the original text as it appeared in The Nashville News in the early 1960s.) “For diversion and enter­ tainment, Nashville was an important focal point. Wild animal shows would often visit the town. I well remember one procession of wild animals that was com­ prised of a couple of Arabian camels, one Bactrian (twohump) camel, four llamas from South America and a few other animals that didn’t require caging. There were no lions, tigers, or bears, of course. Well, anyway, what attracted the most attention was a big bull elephant at the head of the procession. Oh, I suppose she was a lady; she behaved like one. The bridge across the Thomapple River in those days was a narrow, wooden-plank structure with enormous overhead steel beams. In fact, it always seemed top-heavy to me. Too much overhead and not enough under foot. “As the huge elephant reached the bridge, she stop­ ped; very cautiously placing a mighty foot on one of the planks. It evidently vibrated because she refused to take a single step farther. In spite of a lot of prodding and yelling, she just wouldn’t budge another inch. ‘■‘This probably was the gist ofher well chosen, but inaudi­ ble, words to her trainer: ‘Listen, Bub, I am NOT tak­ ing one step farther on this rickety old bridge and you can just put that in your pipe and smoke if right now.’ “Well, there was only one thing to do - pull her out of line. The other animals were taken on across the bridge by the other attendants without any trouble at all. Of course, llamas are considered to be exceptionally stupid and camels are in very close prox­ imity. In fact, they actually belong to the same species. “Of course the bridge was perfectly safe for all traffic for years to come. Even big steam threshing machines crossed it OK but it evidently was the vibration that the elephant ob­ jected to. There are very few things in this world that a full grown elephant is afraid of. One, of course (and that could be just about all), could be a certain bridge. “They have no fear of any other animals, not even lions, no fear of man, no fear of water no matter how deep, they love it. Some folks insist that an elephant is afraid of a mouse. However, nothing could be farther from the truth. No, not even a lady elephant is afraid of a mouse. They have been observed eating hay in bams where there were mice running around, now and then, and they paid no attention to them whatsoever. Why should they? “Now supposing a mouse did run up an elephant’s trunk (inside, of course, which is the only possible way that a mouse could cause any distur­ bance, and its chances of do­ ing that are about 500 to 1 against it), all the elephant has to do is straighten its trunk, give a quick snort, and the mouse will go flying through the air - a dead duck, so to speak. “Probably no other animal in the world has so many in­ correct legends spun about it as does the elephant. It is generally believed by most people that an elephant never forgets. But he does forget, and completely so. About fif­ teen years is the limit of"his capacity to remember..-. “Others insist that an elephant lives to a hundred years old. That assumption is also incorrect. Very rarely does an elephant reach the age of eighty... “An elephant is a noble animal and some ofthese huge pachyderms stand eleven feet high, weigh up to five tons, and are capable of carrying a load up to 2,000 pounds for twelve hours on end. He doesn’t balk at the end ofeight hours as some folks claim they will. None of them carries watches and none of them belongs to labor unions. While it is true they require an enormous amount of bulky food to sustain them, they are also able to go a long time without it if the food is plen­ tiful afterward. “Now, because ofthe enor­ mous dimensions of an elephant is why many folks in­ sist that the elephant just has to be the world’s largest mam­ mal. Wrong again. The blue whale is the largest mammal on earth...The razor-back whale, for instance; often measures one-hundred feet in length and thirty to thirty-five feet in circumference and will weigh more than a hundred tons. It would take twenty to thirty elephants to weigh that much. “The elephant has such in­ credulously powerful elongated snout that it is capable of picking up a heavy log or skillful enough to reach in a pocket and pull out a peanut that most people don’t take notice of the hind legs and observe that they are ex­ actly the same as the front legs. Yes, the elephant is the only animal in the world that Nashville's old Thornapple River bridge was a "narrow, wooden-plank structure with enormous overhead steel beams,” recalled Leo Herrick. Even though it seemed too top-heavy to him, it proved "perfectly safe for all traffic for years to come.” However, one lady elephant in a visiting wild animal show had her own opinion on that matter. The bridge was not "old” in the days of Herrick s youth; it was built in 1899 to replace an earlier wooden affair and served the community until the present concrete span was constructed in 1934. Young Leo Herrick and his pals thought for sure they were going to get to see an elephant in the river. They did, but not in the exciting manner they had anticipated. When the beast refused to cross the bridge, she was taken to this spot below the dam and waded across the stream. In the background of this circa-1905 photo is the undeveloped area that later would become Putnam Park. The old Standpipe water tower soars skyward at left, and at right can be seen the 1891 village pump house (with smokestack). Across North Main Street is the old Kellogg plan­ ing mill which was later razed. has four knees. “Now, to get back to the lady elephant that refused to cross the bridge: we kids thought for sure we were go­ ing to get a chance to see an elephant in the river. The elephant was willing and would have gladly plunged in the deep water above the dam but the mahout would not allow it as the banks on the opposite side were too steep and slippery for an elephant to climb but of, so they took her down below the dam and wad­ ed her across.” “For the older folks who enjoyed education and musical dramatizations there were the circuit Chautauquas. In these tents were presented refinements personified. One always felt much richer, culturally, after leaving one of these presentations. In addi­ tion to the finest in music and other entertainments, the lec­ ture was usually given by some famous orator who could keep one charmed by his enlightening and gifted rhetoricla eloquence.” of July? This famous drum and fife corps always remind­ ed me of ‘The Spirit of ‘76’. The shrill notes of a fife (only one is needed) always thrill me. A fife and drum corps is almost a lost art nowadays. It is all drum and bugle corps stuff and although I have belonged to some of them at “Who hasn’t thrilled at the various times in the past, they sight, and sound, of just make a lot of noise and Feighner’s Band marching thrill practically nobody.” down the street on the Fourth (To be continued next week) "For diversion and entertainment, Nashville was a focal point," noted Leo Herrick. This troupe of acrobats, clowns and other performers is believed to be related to one of Nashville's early Harvest Festivals. The huge slide seen in the middle of Main Street in center background was part of the show. While all ages enjoyed the type of entertainment suggested by this circa-1910 photo, the older folks especially appreciated the educational and musical dramatizations of the traveling Chautauqua shows, "refinements personified," that were seen frequently in the village in that era.

I can relate to them and a lot of other vets can relate to them.” The newly formed Maple Valley group is a chapter of the national Vietnam Veterans of America organization. The local club is open to vets in Eaton, Ionia and Barry coun­ ties, and meetings will be held at the American Legion hall in Vermontville twice each month, Woodman said. Woodman said many vets are in need of counseling and testing for Agent Orange, but state or federal funding is not available. “We’re (VVAs) trying to get a bill passed in the Michigan Congress for a loan grant to get vets tested,” Woodman said. He said New Jersey is the only state that will fund the testing of veterans who may have been poisoned by the toxic chemical used in Vietnam to destroy foilage. Woodman said a rally to urge the funding is planned for May 8 at the Capitol building in Lansing. Searching for POWs and MIAs is another important function of the veterans groups, Woodman said. “That is a very, very big topic — trying to find them or their remains,” he said. “They have to be accounted for.” Woodman, who served as a machine gunner for the First Batallion 26 Marines in Viet­ nam, said there are approx­ imately 2,424 soldiers miss­ ing, 75 of them from Michigan and one from Eaton youths attend 4-H rabbit show at MSI! Eaton County 4-H members are invited to participate in the State 4-H Youth Rabbit and Cavy Show March 28 at Michigan State University. The show will take place in the MSU Livestock Pavilion, with judging beginning at 9 a.m. “The purpose of the event is to provide 4-H’ers with the opportunity to compare their animals with those of other 4-H members and profes­ sional .breeders and be recognized for their ac­ complishments,” says Nancy Thelen, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent. Competitors will enter their animals in breed classes, where they will be judged on meat and fur quality. A meat pen class will also be held, as well as a 4-H cavy show and showmanship contest. All 4-H’ers will receive participa­ tion patches. An auction will be held at 12:30 p.m., with proceeds go­ ing to support college scholar­ ships for rabbit project members. Rabbit equipment and supplies also will be available for purchase the day of the show. Entries must be postmarked no later than March 7. For entry forms and addi­ tional information about 4-H activities, contact the Eaton County Cooperative Exten­ sion Service Office by calling 543-2310 or 372-5594. Nashville. Woodman said it has never been proven that Navy Pilot Commander Ellis E. Austin of Nashville was killed when he was shot down in North Vietnam on April 21, 1966. So far, said Woodman, groups lobbying in Washington to keep the issue alive have not succeeded in persuading officials to con­ tinue their search. “They (POWs) are alive,” said Woodman. “There isn’t a vet that doesn’t believe that. This is one of the reasons I’m trying to form a VVA, to keep the issue alive and to help the vets who need it.” Woodman is currently the commander of the Nashville VFW and is owner of The Upholstery Hut out of his home, along with his wife, Terry. The couple said the families of POWs, MIAs and vets are welcome to attend their meetings. He also noted women veterans who served in the Vietnam era are urged to attend. “I know they need help just like the men do,” said Woodman. Funding to start the group has been donated by several area businesses. So far, there are about 12 veterans who have joined the club. Woodman said some first activities will be to march in the Vermontville Maple Syrup parade and to have fun­ drasing and informational booths set up at the festival. Woodman said he also hopes to erect a memorial to all Vietnam -veterans from Eaton, Ionia and Barry coun­ ties who were killed. “Hopefully we can get a stone in Vermontville with a plaque with the names on it,” he said. Woodman said he would like to decorate the wall at the American Legion with pic- tures of vets and local war casualties. Terry Woodman has designed an emblem that will represent the new tri-county chapter and the couple plans to donate the material from their shop to make a banner. Woodman said response to forming the local group has been outstanding. “I’ve had so much support from people in the last two months,” he said. “It’s been really fantastic.” �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, February 24, 1987 — 6 Pressure on children: 272 victims in Eaton Co. by Mona J. Ellard, Extension Home Economist There were 272 victims reported in cases of abuse and neglect involving Eaton Coun­ ty children within the last year - 1986. Of those cases; 52 were reported victims of sexual abuse, 58 were reported vic­ tims of physical injury, 161 were reported victims of neglect with one reported case of abandonment. It’s difficult to accept that such situations actually exist for children, yet harder to believe' that these situations are happening to children in local school districts and possibly neighborhoods. As adults, what can we do to bet­ ter the quality of life for these youngsters? The first step is being better informed about child abuse and neglect. The Eaton County Exten­ sion Homemakers invite you to a morning program entitled “Pressures On Children” on Wednesday, March 11 at 9:30-11:30 a.m. at the First Baptist Church in Charlotte. Two outstanding speakers have been scheduled to speak. Dr. Eric Howard, Psychologist with the DeltaWaverly Associates, will pre­ sent a slide presentation called “The Silent Epidemic-Child Abuse and Neglect”. This part ofthe program will center on identifying child abuse and neglect and what the com­ munity can do about it. The second speaker, Dr. Lorraine LaFerriere, Psychologist with the Grand Ledge Counciling Center, will lead a discussion on effective parenting focusing on the angry feelings in your home. Both of the program speakers are members of the' Eaton County. Child Abuse and Prevention Council. Advance registration is re­ quired.

As the New Year is welcomed. Girl Scouts across America begin a year long celebration of the 75th An­ niversary of Girl Scouts in the U.S.A. During the year many events are scheduled marking important dates in the history of the scouting movement. In Vermontville, Girl Scouts have a double reason to celebrate. 1987 is not only the national anniversary but also the 20th year for Girl Scouting in Vermontville. The troops and leaders are planning a large celebration event in March to honor past, current and future Girl Scouts in this community. During the year, local troops will participate in tradi­ tional activities: cookie sale, ceremonies, community ser­ vice, badge and patch work, as well as activities involving today’s technologies: com­ puter work, job explorations, travel and Michigan’s 150th anniversary projects. Vermontville Girl Scouts are now preparing for their annual cookie sale that starts January 23. Cookies will sell for $2 a box this year. But, the Scouts have already been busy with activities through the past holiday season: Daisy Girl Scouts (Leaders Lois Hammonds and Esther Martin; sponsor-Lions Club.) The Daisy girls were quite active in December. The girls enjoyed a lovely tour of Grandma’s Greenery in Nashville. While there Dana Wright talked with the troop about arranging flowers; working with dried flowers and caring for live plants. Before leaving the girls received a small bouquet of daisies. While on a tour of Ver­ montville’s Post Office, guides Melody Hoffman and Esther Martin showed the birds, touring McDonalds in troop how mail was sorted out Charlotte and discovering for delivery, what happens to lheir sense of hearing and letters after they get to the identifying sounds.

The third grade scouts are now starting to work on activities for bridging up to Junior Girl Scout troop next year. They are starting to form plans for the 75th Anniversary badge project along with ac­ tivities for Michigan’s 150th Celebration. For Christmas, the troop made wreaths for their parents and Christmas cards for the Community Baskets. Junior Girl Scouts (Leaders Lois Hammonds and Joan Hasselback; sponsor-Vermontville Methodist Church) This is another travelling troop. They have recently toured the Little Ceasar’s Piz­ za in Charlotte, and enjoyed every ‘slice’ of it! They also visited the Ask Mr. Foster Travel Agency in Charlotte where the scouts used the computer training program to make reservations and itineraries for vacation trips. Each girl then took home brochures on the site of their choice. Fifth Grade (Leader Connie Shutes; sponsor-Vermontville Methodist Church) These scouts have been working on the Math Whiz badge and the Pets badge. Sixth Grade (Leader Roz Lingholm; sponsor-Vermontville Methodist Church) The sixth grade patrol has been finishing the Architec- ................. ture Badge and preparing for bridging to the Cadet troop next year. The Junior Girl Scout troop held a Christmas party and gift exchange. The scouts made candle holders for their parents and catch-all baskets for the residents at Eaton County Medical Facility. Cadet & Senior Girl Scouts (Leaders Kathy Othmer and Jeri Baker; sponsor-johnny’s) These scouts are working on career exploration in the From Dreams to Reality badge and doing volunteer service in the world of People and Girl Scouting. A minimum of 25 hours of ser­ vice are required to receive a recognition pin and certificate. Several members of the troop are working on the Girl Scout Silver Award which in­ volves leadership skills, volunteer service, career ex­ ploration and interest project patches. They attended a training session in Lansing last November. The troop has been visiting at the Eaton County Medical Facility monthly to visit, play games, decorate and help with other activities. A Christmas shopping trip to the Meridian Mall and see­ ing a movie while there has become a favorite December activity. The girlsalso made a variety of Christmas decorations. They wrapped toys and helped sort goods for the Community Christmas Baskets. A weekend campout in Charlotte is scheduled for next weekend and plans are under­ way for the Girl Scout an­ niversary celebration.

When Vermontville’s syrup festival rolls around on the last weekend of April, Amy will begin a busy reign. She and the court have also discussed the possibility of getting involved with some of the weekend’s activities in­ stead of just being royal observers. Amy is used to being super busy during the festival. She works at the band boosters^, pancake meals every year and also helps out with her 4-H club’s barnyard zoo during the festivities. And if the athletic boosters happen to be having a pancake meal that weekend, she helps them too. In addition to that, she manages to march in the parade with the band. She and Nicole Bayha, a best friend who is on the court, have participated in an egg toss at a previous festival and Amy will never forget it because the egg spattered all over one of Nicole’s best sweaters. “I’ve been in the kiddie FlBERGLAS parade many times (when I was younger). I never won but I still had fun. Besides being one of The Three Little Kittens, another year she masqueraded like Lucy and her brothers were Charlie Brown and Snoopy. For this year, Amy said, “I’m looking forward to all the parades and the people I might meet and doing things with the court. It will be fun to work together. The queen and her court will be riding in a number of parades including one on Mackinaw Island. “I’m looking forward to going to Mackinaw Island, helping other people become more familiar with the syrup process and representing pro­ ducers in the community,” said Amy. “I’d like to thank all the people who supported me: my family, Grandmother and Grandfather and all my friends at school.” Amy also plans to en­ courage younger girls to enter the competition for syrup queen when they have the opportunity.

This funding was available in the past in a limited amount. It was found that the service was much more in de­ mand than was able to be met on the existing funding. Recently the grant was in­ creased to meet the need that has been evidenced by its use. Due to the rural location of many senior citizens, trasportation to medical appoint­ ments has been difficult. It is hoped that the reimbursement available will greatly increase the availability of senior citizens that are able to pro­ vide this service because it will not be necessary to pay the expense of the tranportation from their own resources. The Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) and the Capital Area Com­ munity Service Offices of Senior Citizen Outreach and Transportation are recruiting, senior citizens that are able to provide transportation. If you are able to help call RSVP (371-5300) or your local senior citizen office (543-6075). RSVP serves Eaton, In­ gham and Clinton counties.

I know that the Vermont­ ville Police Department has helped me a lot and I didn’t have to wait one half hour to an hour for them to respond as I have for the county sherrifTs department. I guess we know where the council’s priorities lie. It must be more important to keep the sewer system Working that it is to protect our children, senior citizens and our homes. Lana Oster and Linda Ramey voted to keep the police department and they have my vote in the next elec­ tion but you can bet that the rest of the council and the mayor does not. In fact, I think a recall is in order and maybe we should start a committee of concern­ ed citizens for our safety. If the money is not there for even a part-time department, how are they going to pay two officers’ unemployment for six months? Seems to me that if there’s money for that then there’s money for a part-time department. I think the council should stop playing games with or safety and start doing what is for the community’s best interest. Terry McDowell Vermontville Dear editor: I am very concerned about the welfare of our town, Vermontville. I was very upset when I heard about our town losing our police forte. I think that it is more important for our town to be safe with police than to be in danger without police. I think it was not a wise decision to do what the council is doing. I think we should keep our police and get ride of some of the non-important details and you can agree and disagree with me, but I feel like I am going to be in a world where there is no protection.

I believe the Board was only doing what was expected of them; expected past Boards, who at the time of the cuts, vowed to bring back programs and employees AS SOON AS FUNDS BECOME AVAILABLE; (Funds did not become available until June of 1986); expected by the Citizens Advisory Committee when they made their recom­ mendations; and expected by the citizens of the district when they voted an extra 4 mills in June of ’86. Doing what is expected of you by all of the people in the School District does not make you the best board that ever was. One man in the district thinks this Board is the best ever. Could this be because they violated School Board Policy on his behalf? Sincerely, Wayne Cogswell To the editor: Do you realize that seeing the Maple Valley board would cost over $2000 according to my research? This could be used more constructively. Have you figured the cost in dollars of a recall? I believe that would surprise you. There are many places the money could be used to benefit the students. Let’s ask Bellevue what they think about recalls. Greta Firster Vermontville Local scout troop takes second place in Klondike Derby Feb. 7 Even with warm temperatures and little snow, the Land-O-Lakes Klondike Derby was a success. The Viking Patrol from Nashville Boy Scout Troop 176 participated in the Derby on Saturday, Feb. 7 in Hastings. They took second place and received a trophy for their efforts. The troop had planned to participate in the Polar Bear campout on Saturday night but because the requirement of 24 hours at or below 32 degrees could not be met, it was cancelled. They will try to make up the Polar Bear at a later date. The competitive events at the Klondike included fire building, knot tying, sled check and compass work. Throughout the events, scouts were judged on scout spirit and ability to work together.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 115 - No. 31 — Tuesday, March 3. 1987 Vermontville Police fade into history by Shelly Sulser Chances that a Vermont­ ville police force will be reinstated in the near future are slim, said village and township officials last week. Township Supervisor Ed Sampson told board members he had spoken with State Representative Frank Fit­ zgerald about possible grant funding to recall the two man force laid off March 1. “He doesn’t think there is any (grant money) available to run a department here,” Sampson said. The Vermontville Village Council had notified Police ChiefJim Fawcett and Officer John Stidham Feb. 5 of the impending lay-off. The coun­ cil claimed it could no longer pick up the $44,000 tab for annual department costs due to a discontinuation of some $7,000 in federal Revenue Sharing funds and low interest rates. Village President Sue Villanueva said the council would, however, investigate the possibility of obtaining some type of grant money. The village and township began discussing the future of the joint department in November when Villanueva said that ifthe township would not continue to help, the village could not afford to run Vermontville Township officials discuss the police issue at a meeting Thursday. From left are Clerk Janice Baker, Treasurer Jane Thrun and Supervisor Ed Samp­ son. the service alone. But despite an agreement by the township board to again budget $10,000 for the depart­ ment, the village made the layoff official with it’s 4-2 vote last month. As a result, the township did not allocate any funding for the police ser­ vice for the 1987-88 fiscal year. One reason the issue was not decided in a vote by the citizens, said Samspon, is that “you could ask them to ap­ prove millage for the police department and if they turned it town, that wouldn’t necessarily mean they don’t want the department, that just means they don’t want their taxes raised.” Villanueva said the village could have .taken a referen­ dum ofthe people, but “it (the department) would have Jo be dissolved as a township department and then brought back as a village department.” However, Officer Stidham said he would have felt dif­ ferently about losing his job Vermontville Police Officer John Stkfhdm patrols during his last night of duty Thursday. The force was laid off officially Sunday, March 1. had the people made the deci­ sion rather than the council. “I’d feel better had the peo­ ple said, ‘we don’t need them (the officers)’,” Stidham said on his last night ofduty Thurs­ day. However, he said, that POLICE, continued page 2 Nashville Village officials approve $728,000 budget by Shelly Sulser A loss of Nashville’s Federal Revenue Sharing funds has decreased the village budget by $12,000, giving officials $728,619 to spend during the 1987 fiscal year. The Federal Revenue Shar­ ing program was phased out last year, reducing fund receipts in most every U.S. town and city. The Nashville Village Council approved the new figures proposed by trustee Richard Chaffee and Presi­ dent John Hughes at its meeting Thursday. The $728,619 includes the total amounts the village will have for general, water, sewer, major and local street fund expenditures. Would-be theives are caught in Nashville Police caught two would-be burglars red-handed inside a Nashville bar early Wednes­ day morning (Feb. 25) after receiving a tip through the local Neighborhood Watch program. Allen Douglas Hammett, (also known as Jellybean), 22, of 157 W. Franklin St., Woodland and Gerald Duane Lamb, 17, of 9177 E. State Rd. Hastings were arrested by Barry County police officers at Otie’s Place at about 4:25 a.m., said Nashville Police Sgt. Gene Koetje. Koetje said an area resident who had heard glass breaking notified the Barry County Sheriff’s Department. Sheriff’s deputies then notified Koetje who monitored the scene until the officers arrived and arrested the suspected felons. . Koetje said the two ap­ parently entered the building through a window at the side of the 228 Main St. pub. Arresting officers were Koetje, Tim Rowse and Sue Delcotto of the Barry County Sheriff’s Department and Cliff Morse and Mike Leedy of the Hastings City Police. Both subjects were arraign­ ed in Barry County’s 56th District Court Wednesday where bond was set at $5,000 for Hammett and $2,500 for Lamb. Hammett and Lamb are lodged in the Barry Coun­ ty Jail where 'they await a March 9 preliminary ex­ amination, scheduled for 10 a.m. Each is charged with the breaking and entering of an unoccupied building which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. General fund receipts are estimated at $302,835 from general, street, state income and sales taxes, single business tax, liquor license re­ fund, insurance withheld from employees, equipment labor and fund, and collection fees and interest. With a $29,000 cash carry over, the total anticipated general fund money is budgeted at $331,835. Total general fund expem ditures are estimated at $331,835. Some major general government expenses are $38,980 for the proposed village hall expansion; $25,000 for equipment ap­ propriations and $16,000 for equipment parts, gas and oil. Wages, supplies, utilities and tree trimming are park fund needs expected to cost $3,300. For the fire depart­ ment, $12,000 was allocated; $3,500 was budgeted for the ambulance board and the council is allowed to give the transfer board $3,000. Street lights are the major cost in the locally ad­ ministered streets, budgeted at $15,000. The total allocated for the street fund is $41,000. The library fund is expected to cost the village $5,025. The village council expects to have $71,697 to spend in the water fund this fiscal year, $54,000 of which is taken in through metered service fees, and $8,097 is carried over Total police department general fund expenditures are expected to reach $84,900 with wages being the largest cost at $45,000 for two full­ time officers, $8,400 for part­ time wages and $4,000 for overtime. Anticipated in­ surance benefits will cost the village $9,800, while pension, gasoline and oil, and car ren­ tal will together reach $12,800. Other police ex­ penses include car maintenance ($700), office supplies ($400), attorney fees ($300), telephone ($500), liability and equipment in­ surance ($800), clothing and dry cleaning ($600) and miscellaneous ($500). Increased water, sewer rates are proposed by Vermontville Council by Shelly Sulser Beginning May 1, Ver­ montville residents will be charged an additional 50 cents on their base water rates plus 25 cents more per 1,000 gallons used, ifthe council ap­ proves a recommendation made by water committee chairman Rod Hannon last week. “The goal of the water rate increase is to set aside monies for a new system and the adoption of the Residential Meter Equivalency will pro- from last year. Interest is the top expense in the water fund, budgeted at $15,300, while well maintenance, fringe benefits, wages, supplies, construction and maintenance also make up a large portion of anticipated expenditures totaling $71,697. Sewer fund receipts and expenditures are budgeted at $192,590. Metered sewer ser­ vice gives the village $52,000 in receipts and base rates take in another $60,000. A 1980 sewer bond and in­ terest is expected to- cost the village $60,000, while wages will take $32,000, and con­ struction and miscellaneous will be another $37,518. vide equity to residential customers,” a printed recom­ mendation by Harmon states. Residents currently pay a $2 base water rate plus 90 cents per 1,000 gallons used, while the commercial base rate is $4, Michigan Magnetics is charged $8 and Maplewood Elementary School pays $12. Those using 21,000 to 100,000 gallons pay 60 cents per thousand and for users over 100,000 the cost is 30 cents per thousand. Using Harmon’s proposed Other expenses include bonds, utilities, fringe benefits, office help, dues, insurance, etc. The Michigan State Highway Department will give the village about $42,000 for the major street fund which is estimated to have $81,914 in receipts and ex­ penditures. For local streets, receipts are expected to reach $50,583 from such sources as the Michigan State Highway Department ($17,340), account transfers and miscellaneous. Expenses are construction and miscellaneous, routine maintenance wages and sup­ plies, snow and ice equipment rental, stump removal, traffic services, etc. Equivalency Table for base rates, those with five-eighths inch by three-quarter inch meters will be charged the $2.50 residential ratio; com­ mercial businesses with the same sized meter would pay two times the $2.50 residen­ tial ratio ($5); those with one inch meters will be charged two-and-a-half times the $2.50 ratio ($6.25) and those with two inch meters will be charged eight times the $2.50 WATER, continued page 2 �The Maple Volley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 3, 1987 — Page 2 Vermontville Police fade into history Continuedfrom page I many people probably had no perception of the service the officers provided. “The cost of one part-time officer alone would be $23,000,” said Villanueva. “People say we could cut this and that. But where do you cut? Water? We can’t cut that and we can’t take away from the maintenance of the roads. We’ve already cut drastically. There just isn’t anyplace else to cut.” Villanueva added that sewer account funds cannot be transferred to another account because it is bonded. “I can’t take away their (residents’) water or their sewer just so they can have a police department,” she said.

A new maintenance truck and sewer jetter are some ma­ jor expenses Fawcett felt the council could have avoided by using rental equipment, he said. But Villanueva said the $10,000 sewerjetter has near­ ly paid for itself in the three years since it was purchased and that rental fees are outrageous. “That has nothing to do with the police department. That money came out of the sewer fund,” she said. Villanueva also disputed suggestions by some that one maintenance man be laid off and one police officer be recalled. “I think this is a vendetta — How can a multiple car family minimize insurance costs? No problem. Auto-Owners gives families with two or more cars a reduced insurance rate. That makes their exceptional auto coverage and claims service even more attractive. So ifyou’re a multiple car family trying to minimize insurance costs—call your “ho problem’’ Auto-Owners agent and find out how this discount can be “no problem” for you.

Although the village, which has a population of 850, sees nearly 12,000 visitors during the April Maple Syrup Festival weekend, Villanueva is confident there will be no problems. “There was a festival the first 40 some years without a police department and there weren’t any major pro­ blems,” she said. “I think that would speak for itself.” The Vermontville Township Police Department police against maintenance,” she said. “I don’t actually see how we can run a small village with only one man. I sure wouldn’t want to be responsible if Tony (Wawierni'a) or Monte (O’Dell) were digging in the ground somewhere and it caved in and killed him. I wouldn’t want to be responsible for it.” Villanueva stressed that the village is not without police protection because Vermont­ ville is in the jurisdiction of Eaton County Sheriff’s Department. “I think we’re going to be O.K., I really do,” she said. “We’ve got the State Police and the county...! don’t think we’re going to be any different.” Villanueva said she felt Continuedfrom page 1 ratio ($20). Harmon also proposed rais­ ing the 90 cents per 1,000 gallons to $1.15 per thousand for all residential, commericll, industrial and educa­ tional (Maplewood Elemen­ tary School) water users. Harmon estimated single person households use ap­ proximately 1,000 gallons of water per month, while all others use about 6,000 gallons each month. In his recommendations, read at a special council meeting Feb. 23, Harmon suggested the rates again be raised to a $3 base rate and the usage rate per thousand be up­ ped to $1.20 on April 1,1988. The council however did not agree to that recommenda­ tion, stating the rates should Jazz Band will entertain ‘Over 50 Group’ Mar. 17 not be raised in 1988. “I believe that the water and sewer rates, in the future, should be re-evaluated every two years to remain fair to the village and its citizens,” states Harmon, who was ab­ sent from the meeting, in his proposal. The council plans to vote on the matter Thursday providing sewer committee member Joe Ann Nehmer submits her revised sewer rate increase recommendations at a public hearing just prior to the 7:30 meeting. Nehmer had recommended a $7.50 base sewer rate plus $1.80 per 1,000 gallons per month to replace the flat $9.50 base residential rate now in ef­ fect. But some in attendance at the special meeting felt the recommendation Was too high. “Unless we can cut the budget, I don’t see how we If you would like an oppor­ tunity to hear the Maple Valley High School Jazz Band, they will be performing for the Over 50 group that meets at the Jr.-Sr. High School on March 17.

During the 1986 fiscal year, $53,325 had been budgeted for sewer fund expenditures but the fund was overspent due to a sewer line installed on Sherman Street, equipment rental and payment on a former street project. “That’s what happens, we overspend our budget,” noted Village Treasurer Kay Marsh. Some residents at the meeting felt cutting expenses would be an alternative to raising rates. “I know that’s not unheard of,” said Maple Street resi­ dent Harold Stewart. Nehmer agreed to present a different proposal at the Thursday meeting. If the council adopts the new water and sewer rates, they would be posted for 30 days before taking effect May 1, 1987.

Pound for pound, a mustang is just about the toughest thing on four legs and the one that I am thinking about right now was tied to a hitching post on the west side of Main Street. On both sides Of him were other teams and wagons, but they were hitched far enough away from him so he could not kick them. “As I stopped in front of him to admire him, he very quickly let me know that he didn’t like to be stared at. Who does, of course? But sometimes it can’t be helped. Well, anyway the moment I stopped in front of him, he laid back his ears, shook his head at me, squealed, and then let fly with both feet. However, I wasn’t at that end ofhim and had no intention of ever being there either. So, I went on but I couldn’t get him offmy mind. Then I found out that a certain person had been hired by his owner to break him to ride. Well, this chap figured that he cold also pick up some loose cash on the side “Yes, the Main Street of while he was doing it. So, the Nashville has witnessed some following aftemdon, when the fine and thrilling events in the town would be mighty busy, past.

They have pranced up and down either said ‘a quarter’ or ‘two this colorful street but not shilling’. A shilling was (This is the eighth andfinal installment in ourpresentation of a series of boyhood reminiscences written more than a quarter-century ago by the late Leo Herrick for publication as "The Great ■ Balloon Ascension. Bom in 1896, Herrick grew up in Maple Grove Township, and his writings now provide a keen and witty glimpse of day-to-day life in the Nashville community of the early 1900s. Herrick became a U. S. Customs Service officer and after his retirement in 1965 he moved back to the family homestead of his wife, the former Edna Mayo. He died in 1974; she passed away eleven years later. The following account and the seven preceeding episodes in this series have been ex­ cerpted and compiled by topic and do not necessarilyfollow the order ofthe original text as it appeared in The Nashville News in the early 1960s.) This was the escape route from Nashville chosen by the feisty young mustang. "He was waiting for a break," noted Leo Herrick. "Just one false move was all he needed." One can still envision the unwitting rider hanging on for dear life, the clods of dirt lying in all directions, the thundering rumble of the wooden planks on the North Main Street bridge. Some wondered if the horse had suddenly decid­ ed to get rid of the driver once and for all by jumping the river and drowning him, recalled Herrick. Horses weighing over ((a ton on down to small ponies have pranced up and down Nashville’s Main Street, but the one Leo Herrick could not forget was a small but mighty mustang with a mind of his own. The animal was not part of a parade, few mustangs were, but he was the center of attraction. This early horse and rider gallop past the Feighner furniture store (now Masonic Temple) in this early unidentified parade photo. twelve and a halfcents. So, all the oldtimers said, ‘two shill­ ing,’ ‘four shilling,’ or ‘six shilling.’ We had to stop and figure out what they were talking about. “Well, in this case, three different times the rider was tossed before they even got a rope loose from around the mustang’s neck. His excuse was that he could ride him if he had a western saddle. Con­ sequently, the following , Saturday afternoon a larger crowd than ever was on hand to see it done. They had the mustang out in the middle of one of the side streets not far from the river with a rope around his neck large enough to hold an elephant. Two other men also had hold of his bridle and the bridle was equipped with a split bit. A split bit is torture to a horse’s mouth ifthe rider yanks on the check-reins too hard. - “Finally two other men came dragging out a big western saddle that looked to me almost as big as the pony himself. They quickly threw it on his back and fastened the belly straps in a hurry. In the meantime, another chap (this rider certainly had a lot of friends along with him) was taking up a collection. Also during all this time the mustang was getting a fast (not slow) bum from all these fellows staring at him. In fact, he was just about ready to blow a gasket — if he could ever get his head loose. Strange thing about a horse, if Many exciting parades, beautiful floats have been seen on Nashville's Main Street in the past century-plus. Horses and carriages were gaily decorated; bands played, and prizes were awarded to the finest floats. One of Nashville's most spectacular early parades was the one staged on July 4, 1876, to mark the centennial of the nation's independence. This early 1900s scene is unidentified but it likely is one of the annual Harvest Festival parades, which traditionally drew throngs of both village and rural spectators. he can’t move his head he thinks he can’t move the rest of his body. * ‘He must have realized that he could never throw the rider with that heavy saddle on his back. The front of the saddle had a high horn set up to 90 degrees to the saddle. The horse could even stand on his head and the horn would pre­ vent the rider from slipping off. The back of the saddle had a flat piece going straight up in the air to sit on in case the horse reared up on his hind legs. In fact, I thought I could have ridden him myself with a saddle like that under me. “As I said before, the mustang was probably doing some hard thinking — to himself. He knew that with that heavy saddle he could never throw the rider unless he went straight up in the air, made a somersault and landed, bottom-side up. Thatt was too difficult and too dangerous. So the uppermost thought in his mind (although none ofus knew it at the time) was to get out of town and away from all the folks staring at him, so fast it would make their heads swim. “He was waiting for a break; just one false move was all he needed. By golly, the break he was trying to get came with dramatic and unexpected suddeness. So, just the moment the big rope was thrown loose from around his head the two men holding his bridle made one costly mistake: they failed to get his check-reins in the hands ofthe rider quick enough and in that split second the mustang grab­ bed the initiative — and how. He yanked his head down, gave a squeal, and headed straight forwarded for the end of the enclosure. Everybody in front of him realized that a wild steed out of control was coming straight at them and they all ducked out of the way. The mustang jumped clear over the rope and went on through to Main Street and made a sharp turn (on two wheels) toward the river. “All the rider could do was hang on for dear life. The clods of dirt were flying in all directions. Some of us wondered if the horse had suddenly gotten so mad that he made up his mind to get rid of the driver once and for all by jumping in the river and drowning him. “We ran out to Main Street just in time to see him cross­ ing the bridge (he got across the river a whole lot quicker than the elephant did) with the wooden plants rumbling like thunder. Across the bridge, up the hill, and around the curve at the top of the hill. Horse, saddle, rider and all disappeared from view almost before it takes time to tell it. “We all stood there looking rather sheepishly at each other, wondering what had happened to the mustang we had paid hard-earned money to see put on a show, but couldn’t keep from laughing when a somewhat disgusted oldtimer remarked, ‘Well, dinged if that ain’t the first time I ever give two shillin’ just to see how quick a nogood, ornery mustang could get out of town. Had no business being in town in the first place’.” For Sale The Main Street of Nashville has witnessed some fine and thrilling events in the past," reflected Leo Herrick. A balloon ascension always drew a good crowd of spectators, as seen in this circa-1910 photo. So did a wild mustang-breaking show, learned young Leo Hetro­ rick. Many years later when Herrick commenced write his recollection of the Nashville of his boyhood (portions of which have been serialized in this column the past eight weeks) his remembrances were prompt prompt-­ ed by a photo very similar to this one.

SERVll>TAR Stade Up Big Savings Notes from our schools by Vic Schug Recently the State Depart­ ment of Education released the results of the MEAP testing for the state. The following are the results in () with our local scores in front. Math: fourth grade 83.8 (85.0), seventh grade 62.2 (69.9), tenth grade 59.7 (68.4). Reading: fourth grade 85.6 (80.3), seventh grade 85.6 (81.8), tenth grade 85.7 (81.1). As you can see the reading scores are com­ parable. Math would indicate that as students go through school fall behind in their basic skills. Science results are as follows: fourth grade 32.4 (39.3), seventh grade 33.3 (27.3), tenth grade 18.2 (22:4). These scores represent the per cent of students who master 75 % of the basic skills on the MEAP.

What does that have to do with schools? Well, next year with the 1987 tax return, if you claim a dependent who is over five years of age they will have to have a social security number. We have been approached by Social Security Administration tb provide a public service to the community by having the social security application forms available locally. We hope to have these forms in the buildings later in the spr­ ing for your use. Lastly, staff has been meeting regularly this school year to evaluate where we are with the educational processes and where we would like to be in the future. This is a time consuming process and takes a lot of effort but in the long term it means better education for students at Maple Valley.

Noshville. Tuesday March 3. 1987 — Page 8 Vermontville Maple Syrup season begins with ‘sugaring-off celebration by Kathleen Scott Fem Gearhart doesn’t know how long she's been working with maple syrup. ‘‘When anyone asks me how long I’ve been in it, I just say ‘forever,’ ” says the now gray-haired Vermontvilleborn woman. She also doesn’t know how long she has prepared the maple sugar for Vermontville's annual sugaring-off party. But her name and sugaring-off are practically synonymous. The sugaring-off party. □ □ g g sponsored by the Vermontville Historical Society, is the traditional kick-off to the maple syrup season for Vermontvillians. After a potluck dinner at the Congregational Church, each guest is given a small amount of hot syrup in a small dish. And each guest continuously stirs the syrup for several minutes until it develops a special consistency. Then the syrup is dropped by spoonfuls onto a plate where it quickly hardens and becomes moist, delicious maple sugar candy. "The Mirrors image" HiLLOLz iwaae.. 111 N. Main Street, Nashville g g g g g PHONE 852-9192 □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ But some of those guests might not know that preparing the syrup is somewhat of a science; that there’s specializ­ ed behind-the-scenes work go­ ing on in the kitchen while they are eating their plateful of potluck. “It’s kind of a job to get it so it’s just right. It doesn’t always work the same,” says Fem amid the sweet-smelling steam billowing from the many pots on the eight-burner stove. She says for the sugaringoff. she will use about five gallons of syrup which was processed in her Charlotte home/business, Maple Valley Farms, 5835 N. Cochran Rd. She pours syrup an amount measured only by sight and experience - into the pots and lets them boil down to release excess water, ad­ ding defoamer when necessary. After letting each pot boil for a certain amount of time (again, a measure made by sight and ex­ perience), she pours the hot syrup into a large pot where it can cool off a little. She says it must cool slight­ ly or it will not thicken pro- The 1987 Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival queen and court made their first official appearance at the annual sugaring off party Thursday.

Nashville, Tuesday, March 3, 1987 — Page 9 Years of experience and a little bit of guesswork help Fern Gearhart prepare the fresh syrup just right for sugaring-off. “I hope I’m wrong, I really hope I’m really wrong, but I think this will be a short season,” says Fem.. “But it may not be. It all depends on the weather, really.” By watching natural in-, dicatofs, she can tell a lot about the syrup season. Loose bark, lots of sugar sand (mineral deposits in the sap) and sap running equally from the north and south sides are some of the signs she wat­ ches to determine how plen­ tiful and long the sap harvest will be. She says the sap is one of the few things that is absoluteJy pure. Both Fem and her late hus- band were brought up in sap­ tapping, syrup-making families so she says they’ve always been around syrup. Gearhart’s Maple Valley Farms is the largest producer of syrup from, home-owned maples in the state. Many pro­ ducers will rent trees-during tapping season. She says there is a lot ofvirgin timber on her property near the Thomapple River in what she says used to be Indian territory. At Gearhart’s Maple Valley Farms, she operates a yearround sugar kitchen where she sells maple syrup, sugar and cream and other maple pro­ ducts or syrup-related pro­ ducts. Her speciality is gift bokes, she says. “You can make some really fancy boxes with the sugar, syrup and creamers. She says she has a collection of 150 syrup molds into which she pours the hot syrup to form maple sugar candy. She says she has a large variety of molds, some ofwhich are fan­ cy and some simple. Boiling syrup on the stove in the Congregational Church is quite different from where she boils it at home. She says she has a 6-foot by 20-foot evaporator for boiling syrup. The evaporator is fired by three oil burners which bum 22 gallons of oil per hour. She says she just tells sVariety&Cra/< 207 N.

Maple syrup is one of the few agricultural crops in which demand exceeds supply and Fem says the last two years the supplies have been quite low. Last year the warm weather was the same all over the the syrup-producing areas of the country, she says; so all maple syrup producers sold out quickly. Fem is die vice president of the Michigan Maple Syrup Producers Association and has been for the last two years. Back at the potluck, dishes have been cleared away, tables wiped, the flames on the stove have been quenched and everybody’s stirring syrup; Fem, who annually donates her time and syrup to this an­ nual event, is called to the front of the room to be recognized. She says a few words to the guests as they continue to stir one ofnature’s purest' goodies. She shares with them some treasures she’s recently acquired like a couple of antique wooden sap buckets. She tells a little about a large, wooden, antique maple sugar mold with some 12 individual molds carved in it. She says she doesn’t know what kind of wood it is made of. One ofthe guests hollers out “maple.” She laughs. Then, she holds up a copy of Vermont Sunday Magazine, a supplement to a Rutland, Vt., newspaper.

The Lions lost a pair of games to Potterville, 82-69, and Lake wood, 93-71, to fall to 6-12 overall. Maple Valley had won five of its last six prior to the Potterville loss. Against Lake wood, the Lions ran into a buzzsaw play­ ing at the top of its game. The Vikings, winners of 13 of 16 going into the contest, jumped to a 24-4 lead the first six minutes and were never contested. Lakewood led 24-8 after one period and 42-24 at the half. Maple Valley coach Jerry Reese was impressed with the Vikings, who will likely finish second to Okemos in the Capital Circuit. i^TnTTTTrfTTnTTTnjnnnnnnTnTTTnnTTTTTTTTTTTnTnTTnnTnTTTnnT Sports lllJlillllllllllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiuiin'iiiiiiiiiMiinitiiiiiiiniiiiii “If we didn’t make the shot, we didn’t get the re­ bound. It was that simple,’’ said Reese of the Vikings, who outrebounded Maple Valley 43-19. “It made for a long night: “After the first quarter we settled down. We were ex­ tremely tight, but they made us tight too.” The Lions hit only 42 per­ cent (28-of-67) from the field while Lakewood was 41-of-70 for 59 percent. Tai Gearhart led Maple Valley with 30 points while Scot Lenz added 15. Against . Potterville, the Lions trailed 42-30 at the half and 60-46 at the end of three quarters. “It was just your typical Tuesday night flat game,” said Reese. “There was no enthusiasm, no effort.” Gearhart hit 14-of-25 field goals and 8-of-9 free throws for a season-high 36 points. George Steinbrecher chipped in 8 and Lenz added 7 . Maple Valley hosts Galesburg-Augusta tonight and Pennfield on Friday to close out its regular season. Lion eighth graders up mark 11-0 The Maple Valley eighth grade basketball team started the week with an easy win over Olivet 52-26, Tuesday night. On Wednesday, they travel­ ed to MarLee for a very rough game in a cracker box gym. When the final buzzer went off, the young Lions had made up a 14 pt. deficit including in the last three minutes to defeat Marlee 66-64. The final outcome of the game was the tenacous full court press in the final minutes of the contest. The scoring was very balanced, Scott Castelie and Jason Hoefler both had 16 points, Danny Franks 14 and Jeff Moore added 13.Scott Casteele and Jeff Moore handled the inside game again with 14 rebounds and a number ofblocked shots each. Danny Franks played another one of his fantastic defensive games when he was assigned MarLee’s best player for the full second half. The win at Marlee wrapped up a perfect 11-0 season for the eighth grade Lions. Adding this season’s record to an identical tally gives this team a record-breaking Jr. High career mark of 22-0.

Oliver (Babe) Downing CARD OF THANKS The family of Margareta Zemke wishes to express its most sincere thanks to her many friends, neighbors, and relatives she has been “around the making ofmaple syrup quite a bit.” Annette, a junior at Maple Valley High School, is the daughter of Richard and Gwen Powers of 5261 Ainger Rd. Hobbies Annette enjoys in­ clude reading, writing, walk­ ing through the woods, riding a four-wheeler arid working with kids. “I’ve been around the mak­ ing of maple syrup quite a bit,” she said in an essay for the queen contest. “My first experiences started with helping my neighbor at their sugar shanty. I helped collect sap, boil it down to syrup and make creams and candy out of the syrup. My family also has made it a couple ofyears, and for having shown so many kind­ nesses to her during her long illness. We are sure that much of her strength and courage came from your many thoughtful acts. Your floral tributes and memor­ ials at the time of her passing denoted your love for her. We especially wish to thank the Kalamo O.E.S. for their memorial service, Rev. William Trump and Rev. Paul Mergener for their comforting words, Mrs. Norma Viele and Mrs. Lucy Martin for their beautiful music, the casket bearers for thenservice, the LCA for serving the lunch, Eaton Community Hospice for their care, .Dr. Steven Wildem for his care and concern, and the Pray Funeral Home for their kind and thought­ ful services. Your many kindnesses will remain always in our hearts. May God richly bless each and every one of you. Martha Zemke Edith and Carl Grashuis Margaret Cook and family Mary Zemke Jeanne and Durwood Booher and family Pre-kindergarten story hours planned at Fuller Street School each time I’ve collected sap, watched it boil into syrup and strained it. Then I would help put it in jars to be sealed.” Another member of the syrup queen’s court will be featured in next week’s Maple Valley News.

The theme of “Tradition with a Future,’-was given to the March 8-14 event. On March 12, U.S.A. Girl Scouts will kick-off their year-long anniversary celebration with a worldwide event called the “Promise Circle.” G.S. National Presi­ dent Betty F.

Nationwide, girls will repeat it together at 4 p.m. in their repective time zones. The recitation will move around the globe, finally clos­ ing the circle and symbolizing the unity of Girl Scouts everywhere. Vermontville troops will when Juliette Gordon formed the first troop in Savannah, Georgia. Gordon started a tradition unparalleled in the history of American women, scout leaders say.

Thursday council meeting, the board adopted its 1987-88 proposed budget, showing total expected revenue and ex­ penses of $263,561. The total is a combination of separate fund appropriations. In the general fund, $132,425 was budgeted, while total estimated revenue and expenese for the sewer fund are expected to reach $52,675. In the water fund, $26,975 is expected to be available to spend this year, while $14,950 was budgeted for the local street fund and major streets should have income and expenses totaling $36,536. Village President Beverly Sue Villanueva made commit­ tee assignments at the meeting: Buildings and grounds — Russ Bennett and Rod Harmon; Water and Sewer — Rod Harmon, Joe Ann Nehmer, Darryl Hale; Insurance — Lana Oster; Legal and Grants — Linda Ramey; Buildings and Trailer Inspections — Russ Bennett and Linda Ramey; Budget — Joe Ann Nehmer, Rod Har­ mon, Lana Oster, Kay Marsh and Sharon Stewart; Streets, Drains and Sidewalks-— Lin­ da Ramey and Darryl Hale; Employees — Sue Villanueva and Darryl Hale; Wages — Rod Harmon, Russ Bennett; Ordinances — Lana Oster and Joe Ann Nehmer; President Pro-Tern — Lana Oster; Fire Department Representative — Russ Bennett; Historical Society — Linda Ramey and Kay Marsh and the village street administrator is Tony Wawiemia. It was noted at the meeting that Triad-CATV has notified the council the company will be laying cable lines within the village soon. A franchise agreement was made between the village and the Marshall­ based cable company last year for the cable TV and satellite service. In other business, the coun­ cil passed a motion by Nehmer to obtain three bids from outside contractors within a 60 day limit on ex­ penses reaching $500 or more. The council decided not to hold a community clean-up day proposed by Les’ Sanitary Service. The refuse company would have charged the village $250 per load each time a 40 yard dumpster was emptied, said Stewart. The company had suggested the dumpster be available to residents for one week. TRUSTEE, continued page 2 Water, Sewer rates go up July 1st by Shelly Sulser The Vermontville Village Council Thursday approved a recommendation by trustee Rod Harmon to impose a 50 cent hike on base water rates plus 25 cents more per 1,000 gallons used. The council also agreed to raise sewer rates from a flat $9.50 fee to $10.25 and $1.15 per -1,000 gallons. The council sought to in­ crease water and sewer rates in order to obtain a fund surplus that may later be need­ ed for system repairs and replacements and to eliminate the cashing of Certificate of Deposit (CD) investments to cover expenses, Clerk Sharon Stewart said. Some council members felt CD funds were dwindling due to continued spending of the investments. There was little opposition at a public hearing Thursday regarding the residential water rate increases from $2 .to $2.50 for a base fee plus $1.15 per 1,000 gallons used, up 25 cents from 90 cents per thousand. Commercial and in­ dustrial businesses with larger water metes will be charged based on an equivalency ratio. Concerning the sewer hike,, however, residents at the meeting were initially reluctant to agree to the $10.25 base rate plus the $1.15 per thousand proposal for all users. The proposal was the se­ cond made by water commit­ tee member Joe Ann Nehmer who at a special meeting Feb. 23 had first suggested raising the sewer rates from a $9.50 fee to $7.50 plus $1.80 per 1,000 gallons.’ At that time it was felt the fee was too high and Nehmer was asked to return with a different proposal. The council was again divided on the-new proposal, voting down the measure 3-4 on the first vote. “I voted no because I think we could cut just a little more,” said Villanueva. But Nehmer explained in order for the sewer fund to meet its ex­ SEWER, continued page 2 Oties perpetrator arrested for B&E by Shelly Sulser A man charged with the breaking and entering of Otie.’s Place in Nashville Feb. 25 has been arrested and ar­ raigned for a second similar incident in which 11 guns were stolen.

Miller was arrested at his home by Koetje on Saturday, Koetje said. Hemmett was already in jail awaiting a Monday hearing for the Feb. 25 break in of Otie’s Place, a bar in Nashville, when he was arrested. Koetje said nine of the 11 guns stolen from the VFW have been recovered.

Nehmer added that without the increased sewer billing revenue, certificate of deposit cash used for sewer fund ex­ penses would be depleted in nearly three years. “We could keep the system going with money out of the CDs until it’s all gone but then what are we going to do?,” said trustee Russ Bennett. The council has budgeted $53,325 for sewer system ex­ penses, with the revenue generated from billings, new services and investment in­ terest expected to cover the cost. Village Clerk Sharon Stewart noted that an average of $50,300 had been spent in the sewer fund each of the last five years. “If you add 10 percent in­ flation, then $53,000 is pretty close to what the budget should be this year,” she said. Vermontville Township Supervisor Ed Sampson added the rates had not been increas­ ed since the sewer system was installed in 1971. “If they had been increased earlier, we wouldn’t have this problem now,” Nehmer said. The council voted a second time on Nehmer’s proposal, passing it with a 4-2 vote. In the newly adopted 1987-88 Appropriations of Funds (budget), sewer fund expenditures are expected to include bond payments of $16,650 for interest and $8,000 for the principal. Other substantial expenses are $6,000 for wages, $5,000 for equipment rental, $4,000 for repairs and supplies, $4,700 for contracted work, $3,000 for utilities, $1,200 for fringe benefits, $1,500 for insurance and bonds and $ 1,000 for reserve. In the water fund, $26,325 has been budgeted to pay for wages — $7,000, repairs and supplies — $6,500, equipment rental — $4,000, utilities — $3,000, insurance and bonds — $1,800, etc. Water service billings alone will give the water fund more Darryl Hale appointed UHITED METHODIST CHURCH 219 Washington St., Nashville North State, Nashville VERMONTVILLE BIBLE CHURCH A.M.

Stidham said he had not been asked to return his key, although Villanueva said it was suppos­ ed to have been requested of him. “If the police were on lay off, why were the locks changed in the office?” he asked. “You were told the keys were to be turned in when you were laid off and when none were turned in this week, I changed the locks,’’ Villanueva said. “You are not Sunday: A.M.

LITCHFIELD �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 10, 1987 — Page 3 Girl Scouts observe 75th anniversary Traditions develop when customs are passed down from generation to genera­ tion. To become firmly established as a tradition, a practice must have universal appeal, be consistent and be meaningful to a wide variety ofpeople. Girl Scouting is just that kind of tradition. In 1912, when Juliette Gor­ don Low began the first Girl Scout troop in Savannah. Georgia, she started a tradi­ tion unparalleled in the tystory of American women. She in­ itiated an informal education program of girls working in partnerships with adults-today called entoring-that would cross all cultural groups within the United States. This tradition has grown and en­ dured for 75 years and has in­ fluenced the lives of 52 million girls and adults. Girl Scout Week, March 8-14, marks Girl Scouting’s 75th anniversary. Today’s three million Girl Scouts have a rich tradition to celebrate. As members of the largest voluntary organization for girls in the world, Girl Scouts are an important asset to our community and to the future. The contributions they have made to Eaton County have ranged from shopping for the elderly to being the eyes for a visually impaired person. They have practiced values that are the essence of good citizenship. Girl Scouts are committed to being of service now and in the future. In a society that often gets caught up in big success stories and die latest trends, it’s nice to know that the smaller achievements-like offering baby-sitting service while parents are at the voting polls, or cleaning up the city park-are recognized. Girl Scouts realize that no matter how automated our society may become, small personal serviced are needed by people everywhere. Girl Scouts have set a challenge for us to follow. Their example of service and concern for others is unmatch­ ed. They have shared themselves and their skills with our community in the hope of creating a better future for all. Thank you. Girl Scouts. You have established, yourselves as strong role models of good citizenship. Happy 75th anniversary!

This par­ ticular episode is based on en­ tries in an old diary kept by his father, the late T.S.K. (“Tex”) Reid, who bought the historic Thornapple Lake resort property in 1938. Many ofour older readers will recall “Tex” and also Don’s maternal grandparents, Charles and Flora (McGraw) Cruso, who were early. Nashville residents. Cruso came to the U.S. from Canada during the Civil War, then stayed on to become one of the workers on the Grand River Valley Railroad line being laid through Nashville in the late 1860s. It was here that he met and married Flora, settled down and built a home as he continued to work on the railroad (later Michigan Cen­ tral). Their daughter Amber Cruso became a nurse and married “Tex” Reid, whom she had met at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, while serving with the Army Nurse Corps during World War II. At afuture date in this col­ umn Don Reid has offered to share additional chapters of his family saga. We will be looking forward to reading them.) by Don C. Reid A wonderful place was the ice house at Thomapple Lake Resort; it served a good many purposes for many people. One especially was the cool­ ing off of hot and sweaty kids in the summer, but we’re get­ ting ahead of our story. This particular building was built in 1890 for the expressed pur­ pose of storing ice cut out of the Thomapple Lake to be us­ ed in the ice boxes ofthat day to cool the perishable food items and keep them from spoiling, like our refrigerators of today. This building was about 16’x 20’ by 12’ high to the eaves. It had one four-foot sliding door in front and two ventilating windows in the gable ends that could be open­ ed in the summer to vent roof heat. It was not a large building but one that did a remarkable job of storage of ice for the hotel, fisherman and cottages in the vicinity. The building was con­ structed with a regular 2x4 wall cavity which was filled with sawdust for insulation to keep the cold in and the heat out. The sliding door opened up to expose a series oflift-out 2”x 6” boards which were put in as the building was fill­ ed with ice, and sawdust pack­ ed between them and the ice. This kept the front layer of ice protected until the ice had to be taken out, then they were gradually removed as the layers of ice were removed, all in all a very satisfactory method of ice storage as it kept the ice all summer and usually into the fall season. The ice would be taken out as needed with a pair of ice tongs and weighed on scales or just estimated in some cases. It was usually chipped off to fit the ice box or cooler size, and sold at the going rate, but as I stated at the beginning it was a joy in August to climb up on the cool ice and just lay there for a spell to cool off. We had a water hose nearby to wash off the sawdust after we had weighed it of course. This was only the storage part, the ftm part was the cutting and haul­ ing of the slippery, cold chunks of ice, and so I will relate the in’s and out’s of ice storage. In August 1938, we were living at the gas station on the N.E. comer of M-79 and Charlton Park Rd. and my father, T.S.K. Reid, being a man full of ambition and getup-and-go stuff, heard that the Thornapple Lake Hotel pro­ perty was for sale from the estate of Cassius L. Glasgow, one Herbert Wotring being the executor of the estate. To make the story short, T.S.K. Reid purchased the 80-acre parcel from the estate and bank for the sum of $5,000 which included 35 acres of good farm land, the hotel (15 rooms), bam, ice house, carriage shed, outdoor toilets, chicken coop, a baseball diamond with grands­ tand, train depot, dance hall, bath house, and all in a pretty much run-down condition. This also included about a quartermile of lake frontage, mostly swampy land. During the rest of 1938 and all of 1939 we were cutting wood for heat, fixing the hotel, building cabins, holding dances in the pavilion, making boats,, etc. When dances didn’t work out we went to roller skating, and by 1940 things were going good, with cabin rental, picnics by dif­ ferent groups, and hotel rooms being rented, also roller skating was going good. So T.S.K. turned his thoughts to fixing up the ice house and having his own ice for the hotel and cabins and rink pop coolers. So we got into the ice business at Thomapple Lake. We were still running the gas station at Charlton Park Memories of the MM by Susan Hinckley A wonderful place, indeed, was the 1890s ice house at Thornapple Lake resort, remembers Don C. Reid, especially inviting to "hot and sweaty kids in the summer" who crawled atop the sawdust packed chunks of ice for a brief respite from the heat. This sketch by Reid shows the sliding front door and one of the vent­ ilating windows in the historic structure which was pressed into service as late as 1940 by Reid's father, who then owned the resort property. and M-79, and the family numbered five: TSK, Amber, Grandma Flora Cruso, my brother Robert, and myself, Don Cruso Reid. In 1940 Robert was 10 yrs., I was 17, so our time was divided bet­ ween the two places. This made it hard on dad and mother. Dad kept a diary or daily work book and from that the ice house work comes alive. We started on Feb. 10, 1940, to get the ice house rready for the winter supply of iice. As the ice house hadn’t been used in years, it was in sad repair and needed lots of work. Boards were off both inside and out and the sawdust had trickled out and settled down so we had to replace boards filling the stud cavity as we went with sawdust, which we hauled from the Or­ ton Endsley farm saw milion State Road. When we had the side walls repaired we dug the dirt from the floor about 8” below the wall/sill founda­ tion. We also had to replace some sills as they had rotted away in the 50 years of wear and tear. The building was out of square and leaning, so we squared her up with a block and tackle and interior diagonal bracing. Feb. 28, Went to Hastings The old resort hotel at Thomapple Lake, seen here in August 1916, was but one of the structures on the 80-acre parcel purchased by "Tex" Reid in 1938 for the sum of $5,000. There also was a barn, carriage shed a a baseball diamond with grandstand, a train depot, dance hall, bath house, etc., and, of course, the ice housed Most,- recalls Don Reid, were in a 'pretty much run-down condition" at that time. The resort had served as a popular recreation and vacation spot for folks in this area since the late 1800s. to _ see Johnny Armbruster about a used ice cutting machine he had; it was stored across the tracks from the passenger depot in the old opera house. It was a homemade one with a Ford car Engine mounted on a sled, with a Ford differential hook­ ed to a saw attachment. Told Johnny I would take it if we could get it running, wanted $15. Dick Gaskill, one of our skate boys at the rink went with me in the Chevy truck and we picked it up the next day; it was hard to load, but finally got it home. Spent all of next day overhauling machine. Everything was full of water and ice. Replaced timing, sparkplugs, soldered carburetor float, flushed water out of gas line and radiator and refilled radiator with anti­ freeze solution. Changed oil in motor and differential, tightened up all bolts and nuts, installed batteiy and started her up, ran fair to middlin’. We scraped snow off lake and sawed a test hole, 21”x 21”, ice about 16” thick, block weighed about 225 lbs. We scraped offthe soft ice or hard snow, about 4”, and this made block about 12” thick and weighed about 200 lbs. It was about 26 degrees and by the time we had finished chopping off the snow ice and tun­ ing the engine a little more, the test hole had skimmed over with a light sheet of ice and what do you suppose happened? TSK fell through the hole, just to his stomach however, and the crew had to pull him out. Everybody had a good laugh but that killed the work for the day. Mar. 2, Don, Ranson (Howell), Wayne Christopher, Dick Gaskill, Lawrence Garrison, Harold Wensloff and Harold Webb showed up the next morning. First thing we did was to strip the reverse pin on the Chevy truck, so Amber had to take it to Hastings for repairs. Harold Webb had his truck and we had our 1938 Buick with a trailer behind. Finally got sawing about 11 a.m. and by 3 p.m. we started to haul ice. With the blocks weighing 200 lbs. apiece it only took about five blocks for a half­ ton which made the Buick and trailer grunt. The truck of Harold’s could haul about a ton however, and by 6 p.m. we had one layer of ice in the ice house, 121 blocks per layer. After each layer was in you had to fill in about 6” around the outside of the blocks and all the cracks in­ between. Everybody went home to get ready for a big day Monday. Sunday, Mar. 3 - Looked for another truck to help haul and more men. Got Bostater, English and Jim Howard’s truck quit after first load, couldn’t get her started again. Webb truck and Buick hauled till noon, Howell fixed us a nice dinner for all who were helping. Don got Chevy truck after dinner, and we were go­ ing good till back of trailer broke out going up hill and all five blocks come a slitherin’ down. This put the kibosh on the Buick’s hauling, but we kept on with the two trucks til 6 p.m. Went home to bed. Tues., 5th Started out Continued on page 5— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 10, 1987 — Page 5 Parents forming volunteer group for safety of Vermontville students A number of parents con­ cerned about increased numbers of fights between students who walk to and from Maplewood School-are form­ ing a volunteer group for adult supervision. The need for the adult care in Vermontville is greatest in the park, near the fire bam and on Seminary and East Main Streets, said organizer Pam Woodworth. “There have been a few problems concerning alterca­ tions between the students and it is felt that due to the absence of police patrol, adult guidance is needed,” she said. Woodworth said the adults would observe the problems taking place and alert Maplewood Principal Dave Doozan who would in turn contact the parents of the children in question. “I’ve been getting phone calls and complaints,” said Doozan, “so this (group) gives me more leverage with parents,” Doozan said. Woodworth said a commit­ tee of volunteers is currently being formed to examine the possibility of drafting a schedule for morning and afternoon supervision times. “Due to the number of complaints, it was felt that a meeting of those interested should be held as soon as possible,” Woodworth said. A meeting for parents has been set for March 17 at 7 p.m. in the all purpose room at Maplewood Elementary School. Information from the committee will be shared, followed by a AAA representative who will explain the validity of existing programs in other areas. Captain Pat Long ofthe Eaton County Sheriff’s Department will also be on hand to answer questions, as will Maple Valley Transporta­ tion Supervisor Gerald Aldrich. Babysitting services will be available at the school during the meeting. Those with fur­ ther questions can contact Pam Woodworth at 726-1049, or Maplewood Elementary School at 726-0600.

Had trailer fixed. Don drove Chevy truck, but we kept having ignition trou­ ble, too much water around I guess. Timer in Ford saw kept acting up but we kept it going. About 1 p.m. we broke the hand crank on the ice elevator which we had borrowed from Wayne Christopher. This was used to carry the ice from the lake level up to the truck level. Spent an hour repairing hand crank. Dad Angel came for a short time to supervise and advise, then went fishing. We finally had our eight layers more of ice, but ran out of sawdust on last layer. We had hauled 968 blocks in two days, a total of 96 tons of ice, plus the first layer already in ice house made us about 123 tons of ice. Had skating that night and were we tired! Sat., 9th Hauled three loads of sawdust to finish covering ice with about 6” of insulation for cap. Filled in around door and put in the door boards. Total labor cost was $60, and were we glad to be through. Don, Guy Howell and Ranson Howell and Robert hauled the last of the sawdust and shut the door. Good job well done even with used machinery. All good workers and helped till the end. The nine layers put the ice just to the top of the door, just right. The program begins at 9 a.m. and adjourns at 3:30 p.m. In the afternoon session there will be an opportunity for those in the audience to submit questions to the panel of speakers.

And won. “I don’t think they’re going to bother us anymore,” said Bea Gillaspie, who along with her husband, Bud, were able to convince Michigan Depart­ ment of Public Health officials that their Ponderosa Cam­ pground was a legally func­ tioning facility, with the help of Senator Jack Schwarz, Speaker of the Michigan House Gary Owen and Eaton County Commissioner Edgar Fleetham. The couple had been fighting claims by MDPH Area Sanitarian Thomas Crook and Regional Engineer Al Mercier that their well was not adequate for the 68 modem campsites, that their drain field was too small, that their water lines were not up to code and that their electrici­ ty had not been inspected by a Have the TOTAL LOOK!

But with proper documenta­ tion to prove these claims were unfounded, the couple was able last week to succeed in obtaining assurance a 1987 license would be issued for the Ponderosa Campground to resume operation, they said. The couple had not been given a license to operate in 1986 because of the alleged deficiencies in the cam­ pground facilities, said Chief of the Division of En­ vironmental Health Tom Hoogerhyde. A rally permit was issued, however, for the campground to operate during the 1986 Maple Syrup festival. To the Gillaspies, the vic­ tory comes as a sweet end to a bitter two-year long battle against campground regula­ tions that to them seemed “utopian,” and caused them to lose countless nights of sleep, shed “uncontainable” tears and suffer from nearly intolerable amounts of stress. “We had been licensed and approved for six years before this started,” said Bea.

Also, the size of the water lines were too small to maintain pressure.” Bud admitted he had added the 30 additional sites with electricity, water pipes, etc. without a construction permit, but they were built according to code. “They were separate from the actual campground and were installed to accom­ modate the peak occupancy during the annual Vermont­ ville Maple Syrup Festival,” said the Gillaspies. The cou­ ple felt the lack of a construc­ tion permit triggered the other claims by Crook of alleged violations. They say, however, that Crook had told them all would be acceptable if the 30 sites were disconnected. But it was later that Crook allegedly returned with his allegations despite the halted use of the 30 sites. “I heard Mr. Crook talking to Mr. Donovan (Barry-Eaton Health Department inspec­ tor). He said that ‘they’re just an old couple, they’ve got too much invested here and they’ll do what we tell them to’,” said Bea. According to Crook and the MDPH, the Gillapsies’ water pump should pump 84,960 gallons per day said. Bea, which is twice the amount the village ofVermontville pumps for 850 people, a small fac­ tory and an elementary school. The pump at the Ponderosa Campground produces 38,880 gallons. Although Bea said this is well above the Federal Plumbing Code re­ quirement of 5,250 gallons a day, Crook said he has no knowlege of such a regulation. Bea said although their facility had been inspected by the county, the state officials would not accept their reports. “I feel there is a lot of con­ flict between the state and the county,” said Bea. Had the Gillaspies agreed to comply with the demands in order to receive their 1986 license, they would have had to invest thousands of dollars for a new well, water pump, water lines and drain field. “We could borrow the money and do all this but that is no longer the issue,” said Bea last month before the new developments. “What we are trying to do is get this out of the (campground regulation) book. It’s utopian.” After the Gillaspies learned of other campground owners being subjected to the same type of demands, a renewed drive to influence a revision of the regulations was sparked within them. “Our feeling is the state is not encouraging private enter­ prise. My feeling is, in 10 years, there will be no private campgrounds,” said Bea, ad­ ding, “I feel like we’re the sacrificial lamb.” Bud, 65, and Bea, 63, bought the 150 acres at 977 South Main Street in 1977, leaving a Redi-Mix plant they owned on Shaytown road near Sunfield. “This.: was 3 complete wilderness. There was nothing here,” said Bea refer­ ring to the now scenic cam­ pground along the Thornapple River. The couple first borrowed $70,000 for the water system, electricity, drain field, buildings with most of the labor being their own. Aside from running the cam­ pground, Bud also hauls lime to area farmers. “It’s not a money making deal,” said Bea. “You gotta do it because you like it. You’ve got to like people.” Bud had once been a square dance caller, said Bea, and “his initial dream was to have a place for square dancers to come and dance and camp.” The name of Bud’s square dance group was “Bud’s Duds”. “He had to quit calling because of his arthritis but we decided to go on with the cam­ pground,” Bea explained. “We held a lot of square dances down at our pavillion,” known as the Pep­ permint Palace. “The syrup festival is our busy time. People from Ohio, Illinois, the Upper Peninsula come to camp here that weekend,” noted Bea. The grounds provide an op­ portunity for fishing on the lake, swimming, canoeing on the Thomapple River, an area for ball games and badminton and scenic hiking trails. Campers commute to and from the syrup festival by shuttle bus. In all, there is room on the grounds for 150 modern and primitive camp­ sites. A service building has showers and restrooms for campers to use. “A lot of the campers come with self-contained units (built-in water and sewer tanks),” said Bea. “Gillaspie’s Ponderosa Campground is one of the nicest campgrounds in the state of Michigan.

It takes a special kind of person to be able to receive the phone calls you receive each and every day and not blow your cool. To have to sit and listen while somebody on the other end gripes and com­ plains about the man you love and the father of your children. You know in your heart he is a good man. That he wouldn’t deliberately hurt anybody, but here is an irate person, saying terrible things about him. Here’s to the smile you have to put on your face. Sometimes you must really have to force them. I’m sorry that people are tearing your lives apart. There has been so much said about this terrible situa­ tion the community is in that I think it is time to admire the strength ofthe women ofthese men. I wish as I’m sure you do that people would use their heads a little, and think about the other lives that a situation such as this involves. My heart goes out to you as you go to games, or carnivals, orjust downtown, and wonder who is going to come up to you and start complaining about your husband. The worst part has got to be when you have to stand there and listen. When all you really want to do is turn away or scream. Well all I’ve got to say is thank you and you have my greatest admiration. Keep up the good work. Thank you Pam White Nashville I am Carol Tobias, wife of school board member Ron Tobias. In response to com­ ments made at the February 26 Maple Valley Board of Education Meeting Mr. Lehman did deliver the evaluation composite to me Sunday afternoon at which time I informed him Ron had left for Indiana late that morn­ ing and I did not expect him home for a day or two. His in­ structions were to give it to him when he came home. My parents were visiting from out of state and my mother witnessed our conversation. I’m sorry I could not attend the February 26th meeting to defend myself. It’s “coin­ cidental” that this school board meeting was called after Ron and I left on a long plann­ ed two week vacation. I read the minutes ofthe meeting and there was no mention of this information. The real issue school board members should be concerned with is truth, honesty, and in­ tegrity on their part!!

Congressman Wolpe announces High School Arts Competition Congressman Howard Wolpe today launched an art competition for high school students in Michigan’s Third Congressional District. The winning entry will be displayed this summer, along with works of art from around the country, in a corridor of the U.S. Capitol that is dedicated to the artistic skills of young artists. “Nothing is more important to the soul of America than preserving its artistic heritage,” Wolpe com­ mented. “This competition allows us to encourage young artists in the Third District.” This contest is part of “An Artistic Discovery,” the sixth annual competition establish­ ed by members ofCongress to recognize high-school artists. It is conducted at no expense to the Federal government. In the Third District, the competition is open to any high school student. Works of art, to be submitted, must be two-dimensional and no larger than 30”x 30” (unframed). Eligible categories are pain­ tings, drawings, collages, and prints. For further information, please contact Competition Coordinator Maria Mugg in Wolpe’s Lansing office at 316 N. Capitol Avenue (phone 517-337-1644). My name is Richard C. Todd.

Agri. Agent The effects of last fall’s weather on farm businesses, coupled with the generally depressed farm economy of recent years, may make it necessary for some farmers to change their management practices. That possibility will be ex­ plored in a daylong session during Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) Week, March 24-27 at Michigan State University. The March_25 farm manage­ ment program will provide farmers information on a variety of ways to handle management changes that may be required in the aftermath of weather that severely damag­ ed last year’s crops. “We will be working with farmers to help them decide what to do with what they have left following those severe conditions,” says pro­ gram coordinator Ralph Hepp. The program will include a thorough review ofthe current and likely-to-be-changed federal agricultural programs, and changes in income tax laws and ways farmers can use them to advantage. Also on the program are discussions of the crop, livestock and dairy market outlooks and an analysis of agricultural credit availability during 1987. All ANR Week programs, workshop costs and associa­ tion meetings are detailed in a free guidebook available at the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service office, 126 N.

Nearly 12 maple trees re­ main untapped in Nashville because residents tied strings around the trunks indicating they did not want holes and spiles put in the trees, he said. “They claim it’s killing the trees but it isn’t,” Chris­ tiansen said. “Chloride salt (used for melting ice). That’s what’s killing the trees, not the tapping.” Christiansen first took his concern about the increased number of-non-tappable trees to the Nashville Village Coun­ cil two weeks ago. He felt on­ ly the village could prevent the association from tapping the trees because most are on village property along the streets. Village President John Hughes at that time told Christiansen the village does technically own the trees but residents have been allowed to prevent them from being tapped. “That’s the way it’s been, I guess. It’s tradition,” Hughes said later. “When someone doesn’t want a tree tapped, they tie a string around it and there are more and more all the time.” Hughes said he was not sure what could be done about the situation, and told Chris­ tiansen he would contact village attorney Scott Smith regarding the matter. “We went through this when a tree was cut down. If it’s in the village right-ofway, yes we own the tree,” Hughes said. “If they expect the associa­ tion to keep putting (money) back into the village, they’ve got to let us tap the trees,” Christiansen said. He noted Harold Christiansen, who has been President of the Nashville Syrup Associa­ tion for 21 years, makes yet another batch of the sweet nectar in the sugar shanty last week. Christiansen is concerned about the number of trees with strings on them this year, put there by residents not wanting the trees tapped. M.V. Future Farmers of America member Mike Barnhart fills a container with syrup. More than 200 gallons has been made so far. TUESDAY — none of the association workers earn money from Nashville’s syrup production, but give their wages to various area organizations. “They’re taking away from the people that benefit from it,” Christiansen said. It has also been speculated by assoication members that residents tying strings around the trees want to tap them themselves. None of the residents could be reached for comment. Although Christiansen is concerned the numbers of trees they will be allowed to tap in the coming years will decrease, he said this year’s supply should not be affected. Christiansen noted with addi­ tional sap being collected by the Maple Valley FFA, the supply is about the same. More than 200 gallons of syrup has been made in the Nashville sugar shanty so far this season, although it is predicted to be a short one. “It’s been a backward spr­ ing and yet we’re way ahead, ” Christiansen said. “Ordinarily we wouldn’t have tapped this early in the spring.” He noted trees were not tap­ ped last year until March 9. Christiansen added the quanti­ ty of syrup will be down, but the quality is better than usual.

Trailing only 10-8 at the end of the first eight minutes, the Lions were outscored 18-6 in the second period to fall behind 26-16 at the half. Senior guard Tai Gearhart collected three fouls in the first six minutes of the first quarter and had to sit out the rest of that quarter and some of the second. Maple Valley narrowed the gap to 38-29 at the end of three quarters before each team scored 14 in the final eight minutes. The loss ended Maple Valley’s regular season at 7-13 overall and 5-7 in the SMAA. Tai Gearhart had 15 points against Pennfield and George Steinbrecher added 14. Without Gearhart, Maple Valley attempted only 38 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiinw Sports shots, hitting 17. Maple Valley was to have played Olivet Monday in the first round of the districts. If the Lions won they would play Parchment on Wednesday. • “As we go, so goes. Tai,” said Maple Valley Coach Jerry Reeese. “Once he came off the floor we were hurt. I thought if we could stay within 10 with Tai on the bench we’d have no trouble. “We were hoping to play Pennfield much better than we did because we wanted to be upbeat for the districts.” Earlier in the week, Maple Valley topped Galesburg Augusta 77-68. Gearhart and Steinbrecher each came through with big games against G-A with Gearhart tallying 29 and Steinbrecher 26. Barry Carpenter added 11 and Scot Lenz 11. Lenz added 10 re­ bounds and Gearhart chipped in 10 assists. “We were much bigger than Galesburg so we re­ bounded well (32-20),” said Reese. Maple Valley also hit 47 percent of its field goals with Gearhart connecting on 9-of-17. Serving our country Flower, Pixley wrestle at state regionals Both Greg Flower and Drew Pixley of Maple Valley participated in the Michigan high school wrestling state championships in Middleville this past weekend. Flower lost his first match 11-1 to Sammiguel of Breckenridge (43-6) then won his second match over Rinehart of Edwardsburg (26-13) which he dominated 12-4. In his next match, he lost to Bowman ofAddison on a pin who finished fifth in the state. Pixley defeated Campell of Mancelona (31-2) and Bar­ nhart of Hudson (37-2) buy decision and pin before losing to Mcardle of Elkton Pigeon Dayport 0-12 and Trazcinski of Pontiac Catholic 0-4 who finished second and third in the state. Drew then defeated Barnhart 2-1 to finish fifth in the state and end the season with a very good record of 37-3-1.

A Michigan fed-cattle con­ test and carcass exhibit will highlight the beef segment of the animal science programs this year. The event, spon­ sored by the MSU Depart­ ment of Animal Science and cooperating livestock industry organizations, will take place March 26 at the Livestock Judging Pavilion on the comer of Shaw Lane and Engineer­ ing Road. Beef specialists and in­ dustry representatives decided to hold the contest — which offers a total of $500 in cash awards — to draw attention to the importance of the carcass merit ofbeefcattle that are fed in Michigan feedlots, and to increase cattle feeders’ awareness of the composition THE BARRY COUNTY BOOK COMMITTEE ...is now taking pre-publication orders for reprints of the ALLEGAN-BARRY COUNTIES BOOK 1880 BARRYEATON COUNTIES BOOK 1885-1891.

The goal is to produce leaner beefthat is still tender and flavorful. The con­ test is one way we can help br­ ing Michigan beef producers up to date on how those con­ sumer demands and desires can begin to be met.” Cattle feeders are invited to exhibit pens of three finished cattle in three categories: beef-type steers, beef-type heifers and Holstein steers. Professional cattle buyers will evaluate and rank the pens of animals on the hoof. The top two pens of animals in each category will be awarded cash prizes. The cattle will then be shipped to and slaughtered at Ada Beef in Ada, Mich., where carcass data will be ob­ tained and animals will be evaluated. Cash prizes will also be awarded for the first­ and second-place finishers in each category for carcass merit. Carcass results will be mailed to exhibitors as well as interested spectators, Ritchie notes. Cattle entries will be receiv­ ed and weighed from 8 to 11 a.m. at the pavilion. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., cattle will be available for viewing, and judging will begin at 1 p.m. Jerry Lipsey, of the Depart­ ment of Animal Science at the University of Missouri, will serve as guest moderator for the judging. Prizes will be awarded at 2:45 p.m., after which the cattle will be shipped to market. In conjunction with the con­ test, an educational demonstration on beef carcass quality and yield will take place at 11 a.m. at the MSU Meat Lab. There is a $15 deposit for each pen entry, which is refundable to the producer when the cattle are weighed. The registration deadline is March 6.

Wolff will retire June 30, 1988, he announced at a Board of Education meeting last week. Although the event comes on the heels of a sometimes bitter controversy over the board’s treatment of an evaluation of him, Wolff said only his wife, Marge, in­ fluenced his decision. “I don’t want you to get the idea a lot ofother people had a hand in this,” he said. “The decision was made by two people, Marge and myself.” In a letter to the board from Wolff, he stated he took ac­ tion to announce his retire­ ment at this time “enabling you (the board) to make more long range plans for the future.” „B°ard Presid{;ntu ?avid Hawkins who read the letter, seemed visibly surprised and expressed gratitude from the present and past boards “for the years of dedication” Wolff has given the district. Hawwnsdescnbedwoiffas leman and thanked him for his timliness in informing the board of his plans. “Many people wondered ‘what’s Carroll Wolffgoing to do?’ Now you know,” Wolff said. The contoversial December board evaluation of Wolffthat spurred support for him by area citizens, contained com­ ments from board members criticizing Wolff’s planning skills, educational leadership and delegation of authority. One board member wrote: “I think it’s time we considered your gracious retirement or our not-so-gracious dismissal.” But despite an attempt by the board and the Concerned Citizens for Responsible School Board Action (who back Wolff) _,to “work together to develop trust and good working relationships for the benefit of the school, community and...the students of Maple Valley,” a recall drive against Hawkins and trustees Dale Ossenheimer and Loren Lehman has been pursued. Marilyn Roush, who heads the recall drive, would not comment on the latest developments in the threemonth long uproar or on whether she would continue to seek petition signatures. Petition wording was approved at a clarity hearing March 9 at Coun* Courthouse> where Roush was told 461 signatures are needed for the recall to be placed on a special election ballot. Roush named Lehman, Hawkins and Ossenheimer in the recall because the three comprise the board’s policy committee which she says violated evaluation procedures. Russ Furlong, co-chairman of the concerned citizens group, asked the board at the meeting to work with Wolff in the year ahead. “I think it’s (Wolffs retire­ ment) going to be a great loss to the district and the educa­ tional program of the district,” Furlong said later. “I think he has served the district long and well,” added Dr. David Donovan of the Michigan Department of Education who was present at the meeting. “There aren’t very many superintendents that last even 10 years. I think it’s to your credit you’ve had his leaderhship in the district. ’.’ Wolff has served as Maple Valley School superintendent for 25 years. The board had planned to review a list of goals for the superintendent at the March 9 meeting, but agreed to table the matter so revisions can be made in view ofthe retirement announcement. The board voted unanimously to accept Wolffs retirement. In other business, the board accepted a report by Sgt. Darlene Wilson of the Michigan State Police inform­ ing the board no changes should be made in a Swift Road bus stop, despite a re­ quest by parent Ken Babcock. Babcock had complained he could not sde his small children while they waited for the bus at a neighbor’s driveway, and referred to an incident where a stranger had once attempted to abduct a WOLFF, continued on page 2 Mason, Hinckley, Kienutske are elected to Nashville Council Sue Kienutske Ben Mason Incumbents Ben Mason and Sue Kienutske were chosen by voters March 9 to each serve another term on the Nashville Village Council, while Ray Hinckley was elected to assume the trustee post Dick Chaffee plans to vacate when his term expires March 31. Nashville Village Clerk Pam Godbey said there were 110 total votes cast by 42 voters, with Mason receiving 39, Hinckley 37 and Kienutske 32. All three are Rebpulicans and will serve two year terms beginning April 1, 1987. The three were challenged Ray Hinckley in the Feb. 16 primary by Republicans Sidney Green and Don' Williams who were eliminated from the running in that election. In the March 9 general elec­ tion, there was one write-in vote for Warren Travoli and one for Robert Fueri. Maple Valley moves ahead with community grant application by Shelly Sulser With approval from five of six area governmental units, Lake Odessa Housing Coor­ dinator Cheryl Storey is mov­ ing ahead with a Small Cities Community Development Block Grant application. Storey was given the green light by the Nashville Village Council, the Vermontville Village Council and the Ver­ montville, Maple Grove and Castleton township Boards to proceed with plans to seek federal funding for home im­ provements in their areas, she said. The Kalamo Township Board rejected the proposal. The program would provide low income families with low interest loans or outrights grants, depending on need, if the five unit grant application is accepted. Storey said that a maximum of $250,000 has been granted to small cities in the past through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, but the amount re­ quested is not necessarily the amount granted. Storey, who plans to ad­ minister the two-year pro­ gram, will be paid $2,000 by each unit for her work only if the grant application is approved. Through the program, residents could be loaned a maximum of $15,000, while maximum outright grants (funds that do not have to be repaid) would depend on the household income. In Lake Odessa, however, the max­ imum outright grant is $9,000. Storey said her next step to prepare for the grant applica­ tion is to determine which unit will apply for the funding on behalf of the other units. She would then begin gathering in­ formation from the local 1980 Population Census to deter­ mine need, she said. Another way she determines the need for the funds is by conducting what she calls a “windshield survey.” “We’ll (Storey and local assistants) drive around and see what we feel the need is from what the outsides of the houses look like,” she said. “I can usually get a good idea of the condition of the home by looking at the exterior.” Windows and roofs are GRANT, continued on page 2 �The Maple Volley New*.

Using a designated formula, Storey said she can determine the Need Score of the com­ munities, a factor given serious consideration, by state officials when deciding who will be funded. (Storey said only about 50 communities per year are funded out of nearly 125 that apply.) The Need Score of the five Maple Valley units combined ranks at about 25, she said, on a scale of 10 to 50. The higher the Need Score, the better chance at the funds, she said. “It’s at 25 so that’s a decent figure,” Storey said. “If it were any lower then we would worry.” Although the participation of Kalamo would have in­ creased the Need Score, Storey said the amount of money for the other five units will be greater without the township, if they are funded. Factors considered when figuring the Need Score in­ clude overcrowding, age of housing stock, value of owner occupation housing, poverty status of household and unemployment.

The new group will act as the sole bargaining unit for all building administrators on a voluntary basis for negotiating purposes. “We felt like we needed some type of bargaining pro­ cess,” Lenz said. “We would like to be able to sit with the board and negotiate in a private session. We just don’t feel we should have to do that in an open session.” Lenz said the board’s ap­ proval “showed a real cooperation on their part.” Lenz will serve as president of the new union. Frith was elected vice president, Samp­ son secretary and Doozan is treasurer. Several policy revisions were recommended and will be voted on by the .boa.rd a.t the next regular meeting.. Lenz suggested the current Jr.-Sr. High tardiness policy be changed to read that the second time a student is tardy, a written warning be sent to the parents. The third, fourth, fifth, etc. tardys would be counted as absences. When 12 absences are accumulated in a class, the student may lose credit for the class, the pro­ posal states. Lenz also presented an ex­ tended illness policy where a student suffering from a long sickness be counted absent on­ ly once. And an academic incentive policy would grant all students receiving As or Bs in three six week periods exempt from taking final examinations. A smoking policy has yet to be formalized, it was noted. I-n other action, the board: —Approved a bid from An­ drus Chevrolet-Buick, Inc. of Hastings for $13,799.50 for a chevy van to be used to transport small groups such as quiz bowl, golf team, etc. —Approved an unpaid child care leave for high school teacher Liz VanderMolen from March 9 to June 5, 1987. —Approved aresolution to hold the annual school elec­ tion on Monday, June 8.

From our readersDear Editor, It was with overwhelming regret that I received the news that Carroll Wolff had given his resignation. The whole community of Maple Valley should be wear­ ing black. Our school system and the taxpayers of this district will suffer a great loss. To think that a few people, in this community could have driven out this wise and dedicated person, who has done nothing wrong. Wolff has led the district for so many years and kept us out of the red, and given our students a reasonable education. What has happened to the “Golden Rule”? Isn’t this what the school board members should be showing the scholars they are supposed to be taking care of?

The Lakeview Cemetery Board will meet soon to decide whether to hire a sex­ ton to maintain the cemetery or to let the village continue to do so. Former sexton Butch Plan­ ck resigned his cemetery upkeep and grave digging duties officially in December, but had not performed them since August, Nashville Village Clerk Pam Godbey said. Since that time, the village Department of Public Works has been caring for the cemetery and billing the board for the cost. “I think we need some direction in this one way or the other,” said Village Presi­ dent John Hughes at the regular .-council --meeting Thursday. The village council is the ultimate authority over the cemetery board, and sug­ gested it meet to discuss the matter. No date has yet been set. In other business, the coun­ cil denied a request by trustee Larry Filter for reimburse­ ment for the cost of removing a tree stump near his property. Filter said it cost him $125 to remove the stump. “What’s going to happen if we pay this one and end up paying here and paying there?” Dick Chaffee said. DPW Chief Leon Frith said Council against domestic abuse will present program at Vermontville Church potluck dinner which will be held at 1 p.m., Sunday, March 29, in the fellowship hall.

When the hotel was built in 1878 by enterprising local hard­ ware merchant Charles C. Wolcott, it featured one of the earliest plumbing sys­tems in the village and was touted as nearly the finest hotel between Jackson and Grand Rapids. Convenient to the local railroad depot, the Wolcott House often hosted drummers (traveling salesmen) and other business guests. Nashville "lost" the Emory Paradys "with regrets when the popular family moved to the West Coast in 1907. .In March 1924, word of Emory's death was received here. While in Nashville, he had served as village president, postmaster, justice of the peace, and township official, while pursuing his trade as cobbler. As a young soldier in 1865, Parody was mong a small band of cavalrymen who tracked down Lincoln-assassin John Wilkes Booth and had helped carry the mor­ tally-wounded gunman from a burning Virginia barn.

Students from middle schools, junior highs and high schools across Michigan have been invited to participate in the Student Champions for No Drug Use rally, according to Fran Anderson, president of the statewide PTA organiza­ tion. Seating capacity in the Sil verdome’s amphitheater configuration is 32,000. “As an organization of parents, teachers and others interested in the young people of Michigan, we are express­ ing the depth of our concern about drug and alcohol pro­ blems in this society,” said Mrs. Anderson. The program for the rally, WS ll which will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will be a fast-paced blend of speakers on drug/alcohol abuse and other adolescent contemporary issues, bands and other performers, entertainment and sports celebrities, and peers of those gathered for the event.. “This event represents PTA programs in action,” said Mrs. Anderson, noting that the rally and the anti-drug, anti-alcohol message it will promote are the No. 1 priority for the 63,000-member Michigan organizations. She added that the Student Champions for No Drug Use rally is a first of its kind, not only in Michigan, but in the nation. “This is a great opportunity to bring together students who care, who can make a difference in changing the drug situation as it exists today.” The program is seen as a pilot project which could be expanded to other state organizations elsewhere in the country in future years. Every public middle school, junior high and senior high school in the state has been invited to have its students par­ ticipate in the rally. Individuals interested in taking part should contact their principals for tickets. Participation is also open to students at parochial and other private schools, as well as to youth groups. Contact Michigan PTA at (517) 485-4345. State Senator Rudy Nichols (R-Waterford) sponsored Senate Concurrent Resolution 37, which commemorates April 4 as “Student Champions for No Drug Use Day.” nnTnnTTniriTnnTniTnTTnnnnnnTnTnTnnTnnnnnnTnnnff Vermontville news The last thing you need now is a problem with mobile home insurance that doesn’t treat you special.

Maple Valley ended its season 8-14. “They’re a quality ballclub; they tied for the KVA cham­ pionship,” Lion Coach Jerry Reese said of Parchment. “They had more height than us, but our kids played well.” The added height helped Parchment to a 36-22 reboun­ ding advantage and took away much of the Lions inside game, said Reese. Maple Valley hit only 24-of-57 shots to 26-of-60 for Parchment. Maple Valley also shot fewer free throws, 16-of-32 as com­ pared to 24-of-57 for the winners.

Her hobbies are writing, swimming, water skiing and collecting stuffed animals. “When I was younger, we tapped the trees in our yard,” she remembers. “We hung peanut butter pails and milk jugs to catch the sap. Then every couple days we would empty them t until we had enough to boil. We dug a small fire pit an put a piece of metal over it where we boiled the sap in a large pot. After it had boiled for what seemed like forever, it finally boiled down to Maple Syrup. We then put the syrup in jars to use later in theyear for our pancakes and waffles.” Nicole said this was her on­ ly experience of making syrup, “but I find it very in­ teresting and hope that I can become more involved and aware of the syrup making process.” 4-H Pheasant program applications due Nicole Bayha Using a reading program called Bloom's Taxonomy, Kellogg fifth graders Practiced higher level thinking skills in relation to reading assignments by making Again this year, 4-H and FFA members have the op­ vlarious reports, diagrams and models.

How­ ever, we might also remember the origin of this occasion named for St. Patrick, who made a perilous journey to Ireland in an effort to per­ suade people to worship God. In fact, we would do well to emulate him, at no such risk to our­ selves; by inviting friends, neighbors or even fa­ mily members to accompany us to our House of Worship. The offer of a ride or perhaps the con­ venience of a nursery there might well serve to remove all previous resistance to the idea; and indeed, some of our most ardent worshippers have been recruited in this way. So let the green of St. Patrick’s Day help you show your true colors by convincing others to learn about and share with you the blessings of God’s love at first hand.

Following the day-long Pro­ ject Graduation Rally, the group will join students from other area schools in a balloon send-off from the state Capitol building, Co-Advisor Judy Hager said. “It’s a campaign to get kids to make a commitment they will not drink and drive at prom and graduation,” she said. Maple Valley first formed its SADD Chapter two years ago and has experienced a gradual increase in participa­ tion. The group now has close to 50 members. Although the chapter is not as active as Hager would like, SADD has been responsible for spearheading a “Just Say No Campaign” its first year. Activities have included per­ forming skits in the elemen- tary schools on ways to say “no,” inviting Larry Rotta of the State SADD Organization to speak to the student body and holding dances. Last year’s Project Prom and Graduation campaign proved successful when a large number of students attending the prom had agreed not to drink and drive. As a result, there were no reported alcohol related accidents involving Maple Valley students, and the prom was featured on a local news station for their effort. Although the group focuses mainly on not drinking and driving and is geared more toward older teens who have drivers licenses, drug abuse is also a topic of concern among Hearing set for April 1 for Hubka vs. M.V. Board of Education suit A court hearing has been set for April 1 regarding a suit filed by George Hubka against the Maple Valley Board of Education for the alleged violation of the Freedom of Information Act. Hubka said Judge Hudson E. Deming will decide at that time whether the matter should be handled in Eaton County, which was. requested by the board. Board President David Hawkins could not be reached for comment on why the board allegedly requested the change of venue. Hubka filed his suit in Barry County Circuit Court Feb. 9 after he claimed the board refused to provide him with individual board member superintendent evaluation documents. Representing himself in the case, Hubka is seeking release of the documents or an explanation as tb how they were destroyed, if they no longer exist. He also seeks $500 in damages, he said. Hubka is not in favor of moving the case to Charlotte, he said. “The law says it can be fil­ ed in the county of residence. I’m a resident of Barry Coun- ty, therefore, Barry County would be a correct place,” Hubka said. He also stated that because Judge Deming presides over both Eaton and Barry County Circuit Court proceedings, the same judge would hear the case regardless which county it was in. “It would just be a different courthouse, that's all,” Hubka said. Hubka said at the April 15 court hearing for the ruling of facts in the case, he will ‘‘hopefully get some answers.” Teens are shown attending the March 13 SADD Lock-in dance during one of the many activities provided for them. the members and advisors. Recently, the Maple Valley student council, which in­ cludes many SADD members, gained more television publicity for their efforts to curb drug abuse with a T-shirt campaignjn January . The student group purchased T-shirts for district sixth graders bear­ ing the words “Say No To Drugs”. A “lock-in” March 13 drew 92 Maple Valley Junior­ Senior High School students who spent more than nine hours at the school together playing games, dancing and enjoying drug and alcohol free entertainment and recreation. “It was nice to see the younger students mixing with the oldr students,” said Hager, who plans to hold a similar activity in coming years. Hager joined the staff at Maple Valley as counselor last fall, and feels her role as SADD advisor is an important one. “As a counselor, I hear about it more so maybe than the other teachers, how bad the problems are,” she said. “When I’m working with kids, they tell me that either they or someone they care about is into alcohol or drug abuse, probably a lot more SADD, continued page 2 Angie Thompson, left, of Maple Valley's chapter of Students Against Driving Drunk and Judy Hager, ad­ visor, look over the "Contract for Life” that will be us­ ed in the upcoming Project Graduation Campaign.

She added many students don’t join the group because “they see SADD as somebody who just tells them they can’t drink.

John Viele makes an average of 300 gallons of syrup each year. WANTED: PERFORMERS for Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival TALENT SHOW to be held...

Rolla Viele, John’s father, was one of the original pioneers of the annual syrup celebration. And today, without John and Norma, the festival pro­ bably would not have the worldwide notoriety that it does, drawing nearly 20,000 visitors to the tiny village each year. Norma has been secretary of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Association for a decade, mailing thousands of brochures annually, conduc­ ting correspondence and handling anywhere from five to 25 telephone inquiries daily from early March until the late April, three day event. John served a number of years as an association trustee, and has charge of erecting the main street enter­ tainment stage. Together, John and Norma sell more maple syrup at the festival than they do ail year. Making and selling syrup and maple products is serious business'to the couple who can make anywhere from 185 to 450 gallons of syrup a year in the extremely unpredictable operation. “It all depends on the weather what kind of year you’re going to have,” noted John. Last year, syrup makers nationwide experienced a substantially low yield of sap due to inconsistent temperature patterns. As a result, the demand for the deep woods crop became greater, Norma said. This season will also be short, they predict, “but you never know when you’re done until you are.” From nearly 1,000 taps in their Brown Road woods, the Viele’s usually produce enough sap to make syrup for -buyers in California, Arizona, Texas, North and South Carolina, as well as Japan, Finland and England. Having grown to the big business it is today, syrup making in the Viele family was not so productive in its humble beginnings. “In those days, there wasn’t the market for it there is now,” said John. “They had to boil sometimes two to three days before it would finish off (become syrup).” John has spent a lifetime repeating the ritual year after year: first washing the buckets, pounding spiles into freshly bored holes, hanging the buckets, trudging again through the snow or mud to empty the cold, crystal clear sap into a mobile tank and draining it into a large bin at the sugar shanty. And then fir­ ing up his wood fueled evaporator and calmly awaiting the transformation. John is not one to change. “My great-grandfather started it in 1875 and it’s been in the family ever since,” he recalls. Although he owns the very woods where his great­ grandfather sparked the over a century old tradition, John no longer drains the life-giving fluid from its majestic, tower­ ing maples. Different, trees have taken their place. “At the end of each season you don't think you want to go back but next season rolls around and you’can’t help but do it again,” noted Norma, who also comes from a long line of syrup makers. “My grandfather did, my dad and neighbor did. My dad did it again for the village after that,” she said. Although primitive wooden buckets and flat pans over an open fire were the only means to accomplish the sweet pro­ duct, the process did eventual­ ly evolve. “Modem evaporators came into play in the late 1930s.” John pointed out. He recalled a man who once lived in Ver­ montville that began making tin buckets to replace, the wooden ones. “He sold thousands and thousands to farmers around,” he said. But syrup makers today are not as plentiful. As a result, more producers are making larger amounts of syrup than when there was an abundance. “Several in this area, in the older generation have died off and it hasn’t followed through,” John said. At 62, John said he doesn’t know how much longer he will carry on the job. John and Norma are both graduates of Vermontville High School, and are assisted in the business by their children and grandchildren who they say “are a tremen­ dous help.” Since high school, John has 4-H Leader program set Eaton County 4-H CluE Ad­ ministrative leaders and their guests are invited to attend a dinner and program on Tues­ day, March 31 at 7 p.m. at Kardel Hall, located on the fairgrounds in Charlotte.

Once a year the ladies would royally entertain their spouses at a special event which might vary from an elegant dinner and entertainment at a member’s home to a more spectacular staging such asoccurred 62 years ago this month. It was on March 17, 1925, that the WLC sponsored a col­ orful operetta, “In the Garden of The Shaw, ’ ’ at the local theatre (a movie house variously known as the Park, the Star, and, later, the Flo.

This year’s parade grand marshal is former resident and professional baseball star Ken Beardslee. A graduate of Ver­ montville High School, Beardslee now resides in War­ saw, Ind., and has recently been nominated' to the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame for 1988. Beardslee, also an author, plans to present copies of his books, “Little Field on the Comer, “Home is Where You Hang Your Spikes” and “The Kid From Connersburg” to the Vermont­ ville and Nashville Little Leagues. Each child who signs up for the summer baseball program will receive the three books. The distinction of honored citizen is being shared by local historians Ava Kroger and Esther Shepard, both long time residents. Mrs. Kroger is a former school teacher and was in- wide variety of others.

Man dies of head injury by Shelly Sulser A man who struck his head on the arm of a couch while being lifted from the floor died at the home of his Nashville cousin Saturday, police said. Although Patrick Doyle Histed had sustained super­ ficial stab wounds possibly in a fight in a Nashville alley previously that evening, in­ vestigators said his death was caused by the blow to the head. Histed had no perma­ nent address, police said. When Histed entered Pen­ nock Hospital in Hastings for treatment for his stab wounds, he allegedly told hospital per­ sonnel he had fallen down a set of stairs and landed on some glass, State Police Detective Sgt. Robert Golm said. Histed later arrived at the home ofhis cousin, Walter Planck of the Thornapple Lake Estates, where he had been staying for nearly five days, Golm said. Histed’s brother, Arnold, was also at the home, Golm said. Histed, 49, previously of Gaylord, apparently suffered from muscular dystrophy. Some drinking may have been involved in the incident as well, police said. State Police Lt. Richard Zimmerman said Histed had apparently been lying on the floor when one or two other people tried to move him up onto the couch. “He apparently had problems getting around,” Zim­ merman said. “He could walk but not very well.” Zimmerman said they reportedly dropped him with his head striking the arm of the couch. He immediately lost consciousness, ZimmerINJURY, continued page 2 The Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival gets underway April 24-26, offering the usual variety of fun and excitement.

Stan Trumble is the cor­ poration president, Gene Board special meeting was "waste of time Continued from front page He added that it is not unusual for a board to need such a workshop. The board later should form a list of what they hope to ac­ complish, said Donovan, and determine the priorities from that list, reducing the number of goals “so they can be school board, the role of ad­ ministrators and a working relationship between the two; what’s an administrator, what’s policy,” Donovan said. “Then they can work better in developing goals and implementing them.” How can you get help fast when your car is smashed?

Ifthere are too many, you can’t keep track of them,” Lehman said Donovan ap­ parently felt the board’s goals were too specific. He added the special board meeting was meant to be more of a workshop, “and we asked Dr. Donovan to come to help us with it. Donovan called the meeting “abortive” and said it was “obvious the discussion was going to go on with out reaching a conclusion.” Lehman said he felt Donovan had become disturb­ ed and at one point left the meeting room because of the reactions of the citizens pre­ sent when the board attempted to discuss goals with Wolff. However, some citizens in the audience thought Donovan had become disgruntled with the board’s goal setting pro­ cedure when he walked out of the meeting. Donovan, in a telephone in­ terview last week, said he had merely left the room to confer with President David Hawkins who arrived late to the meeting. Lehman, continuing his discussion of the meeting, said “They, (the citizens) just wanted to fight about it...What we’ve got is a citizen’s group that wants to play like they’re the board.

For us to try to ac­ complish anything — it’s down the drain because nobody's going to cooperate,” he said, adding, “it’s a mess.” Because Wolff is expected to serve as superintendet for another year, Lehman was asked whether any further evaluations will be conducted. ■ “I can’t say,” he said. “That’s something we haven’t talked about.

In that day some barbershops rented bathtubs for client use, for many homes lacked such facilities. Several of Nashville's early ordinances controlled and protected village crosswalks, one of which is clearly seen as a white line running across the street in the foreground of this circa-1910 photo. The paved strips were installed at in­ tersections along unpaved, dirty thoroughfares to serve as a tidy crossing path, especially for Victorian ladies in their sweeping long skirts. is-best remembered as founder and proprietor of Nashville’s 1876 opera house.

The final law in this series signed by Lentz made it illegal for a traction engine to run over any crosswalk in the village without first planking it to protect it from damage. Prominent local businessman Charles M. Put­ nam was Nashville’s president when Ordiance No. 22 was enacted on September 5, 1910. It prohibited the plan­ ting of “poplar or box alder trees” within 300 feet of any sewer line. Nashville’s original sewer system was built in 1908-09, and this was apparently an attempt to preserve - it for future generations. Public utilities also played in a role in the next two laws (Nos. 23-24), signed by Von W. Furniss, who was village president when the balance of the laws were enacted in 1911 just prior to publication of the booklet. That seems to have been the busiest legislative year for the council, for nine new laws were added to the ledger from April to June. Frank A. Purchiss signed as clerk on all of them. No. 23 provided for the “preservation, protection and control” of the village water­ works system, and No. 24 estalbished a rate scale for wa(er usage. The business of hawking or peddling in the streets, public places or door-to-door in Nashville was regulated by No. 25, which spelled out fees for all sorts of goods. For ex­ ample, hucksters of dry goods, groceries, notions and toilet articles were charged $5 per week for a license while those hawking jewelry, wat­ ches, silverware, eye glasses, paid $12 for the same privilege (or $3 per day, if they wished). In almost all cases, lower rates were of­ fered by the week or month. Ordinance No. 26 mandated that owners of property adja­ cent to Main Street, from Reed Street on the north to the Michigan Central railroad tracks on the south, were ex­ pected to clean and remove all rubbish from their premises to the center of the street by 10 a.m. each Monday morning. The next ordinance also called on property owners for a like matter: removal of “snow, ice, filth, obstructions and nuisances from the sidewalks” of Nashville. The firing of dangerous explosives was prohibited by Ordinance No. 30, nd this included the firing, shooting or exploding of “any gun, revolver, toy pistol, blank cartridge, can­ non .or giant . firecracker, torpedo cane, or any other dangerous explosive in any thoroughfare, park or public place. The final law listed in the little 1911 booklet deals with the construction or moving of wooden buildings within a certain prescribed area in the Main Street district. The fine upon conviction was not to ex­ ceed $100 plus costs, and default could bring up to 90 days imprisonment in the county jail or (as stipulated in first law 33 years earlier) con­ finement in Nashville’s “village prison.” STYLING MEN OR WOMEN Call for an appointment today and let us help you achieve the overall look!

Tuevdoy Morch 31, >987 — Poge 6 Horseback riding for handicapped, what does it mean? "... Sit tall.” “Pick up your reins,” "Tell your horse to Walk On". Those are com­ mands given at a typical class of Eaton 4-H horseback riding for the handicapped. In the new enclosed riding arena. students are directed to mount, command, halt and dismount their horses! Hardly a pony ride. It is the hard work of learning, and of achieving. Its roots in the "English Method" of nding for the handicapped, started by Norah Jacques in 1954, the Eaton Special Riding Volunteer Association (ESRVA)was organized in 1976 in affiliation with the Eaton 4 H Youth Program and in erwrperation with Eaton Intermediate Schoo) District. Riding g instruction started the following spring, averaging six riding sessions per riding day since. Approximately 36 students participate each riding day. Guided by the principle, “it's ability, not disability that counts,” thcraputic riding is based on the theory that to put the handicapped in a situation where he/she is doing the non­ handicapped can do but do not do, then their self esteem and confidence will be markedly improved. Perhaps for the first time the mounted han­ dicapped are finally mobile and independent of other peo­ ple. The horse, a large, live mobile animal that shows emotions makes it seem as if no handicap exists for the rider. The horse also gives the rider a physical and psychological "lift”. The program is offered to riders who represent a range of im­ pairments: physical, mental, sight and hearing, or com­ binations of handicaps. Offered as an elective ac­ tivity, the program is calculated to build and enhance the mental attitude, physical development, per­ sonal and social skills in­ cluding self-awareness and respect, confidence, personal responsibility, balance and coordination, mobility and seven board members. As a nonprofit organization, the Association is a self­ sustaining activity, recruiting and training its members, raising funds for program ex­ penses, owning its own equip­ ment and using its own donated horses for the riding program as well as some “volunteer” horses. Working with the ISD Meadowview School Principal, the Associa­ tion determines enrollment, riding schedules, progress and evaluation reports. Riding sessions are held on site at 1790 East Packard Hwy., Charlotte. Here, riding sessions were in an open arena until 1986 when the Associa­ tion raised enough money to construct an enclosed arena with the Meadowview schools support. Equipment storage and facilities are provided by the ISD. Affiliation with the 4-H Youth Program provides access to information concer­ ning safety and instructional method not otherwise available, provides instruc­ tional fees for instructor train­ ing, and extends recognition of instructor certification.

Riding is a recreation that could be a part ofthe student's adult life­ style. This riding program, spon­ sored by 4-H is unique. It is a volunteer association pro­ viding an activity at Meadowview School, con­ ducted in a professional man­ ner, using performance goals, progress reports and mean­ ingful evaluations. Instruction is by a professionally prepared and 4-H certified in­ structor. It is staffed entirely by volunteers who have been trained for their jobs. Unlike similar riding programs in the State, it is brought to the stu­ dent, on site, during the scheduled school day. Volunteers are from the in­ termediate school district and represent a range of age, ac­ tivities and lifestyles.

The new enclosed riding arena prevented the disappointment that a rainy day used to cause! Now we can ride when it’s raining! Because each rider represents one or more impairments, special consideration is given in selecting the type of equipment used. Safety is of paramount concern. To faciliate mounting, the English Saddle is used. This saddle also requires constant effort on the riders part to maintain balance, achieved through the proper posture while sitting in the saddle. Thus, the reason for the “sit tall” command. Sitting tall provides muscle tone and enduces coordination by stiffening some muscles and relaxing others. A safety feature of the saddle is the Peacock stirrup. They have an elastic insert that ifpressure is applied, will snap open so the foot cannot be caught or entangled. The Devonshire Boot or enclosed stirrup is used for a rider who cannot, because of physical limitations “keep the heel down.” The boot prevents the foot from pushing through the stirrup opening. Safety belts are used on anyone with difficulty in sitting tall or balancing in the saddle. Safety helmets are required and worn at all times. Mounting ramps are available for those who cannot mount from the ground. Horses used in the program, whether owned by the Association or “volunteer” horses are screened by the instructor for suitability. Program planning is constantly occuring. Each month the Executive Board reviews all aspects of the program to ensure that the central purpose is still the main focus — pro­ viding an educationally sound, achievement oriented riding program. Central to planning is the establishment ofriding dates. This is done in cooperation with the Meadowview Principle. An orientation course is scheduled prior to each spring and fall session to train new volunteers and refresh previous ones on riding safety. A typical riding session follows an exact routine. Students are fitted with safety helmets, safety belts are placed on as needed, and the student is assigned a horse. Mounting is done on order of the instructors. When all are mounted, class instruction begins with the instructors commands reinforced and relayed by volunteers. Some students ride alone. Some students need a volunteer to help lead the horse, although they still direct the horse to the best of their abilities. Other students need side volunteers who walkers help the student balance in the saddle if they have problems in this area. All students, to their ability, provide commands to the horse by means oftheir voice, pulling on the reins and leg pressure. Some riding sessions incorporate animal grooming to their games during riding. Each student has a particular goal being worked on, whether it is to increase attention span, following directions, or in muscle coordination and balance. Progress reports and evaluation are written for each riding session. Next to the riders, volunteers are the essence of the riding program. Since the program began in 1976, many individuals have been involved in it. Some of the original group are still involved. There are many areas for involvement, along with working during a riding session — the arena individuals volunteer time and effort to planning and training sessions, labor, donors of money, materials, horses, trailering services, at last, but not least, to child care which is provided during riding sessions by some dedicated volunteers. All are of great value to the program which could not exist without them. Each present and past volunteer should know they have made a difference and they have the sincere thanks of the riders. It’s a wonderful feeling to see the smiles and look of independence and pride as the students command the horse to “walk on” and “whoa” and feel the horse follow their commands. It is this wonderful feeling that keeps the program going. ’•nnrnnnfflnnTHnifflnnfffflnn Phone 945-9554 for ACTION-ADS!!! ...................................... �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 31. 1987 — Page 7 Local resident attends Insurance School Maple Leaf Grange meeting held The regular meeting of the Maple Leaf Grange No. 940 was held on March 27 at the Grange Hall.

The last thing you need when you’re over 55, is a problem paying for your car insurance. Age has its rewards. Sometimes. It does with Auto-Owners. They give good drivers age 55 or older a discount. So instead of raising your premiums or reducing your coverage you may pay a little less for your auto insurance. Auto-Owners respects maturity and a good driving record. Just ask your “no problem” Auto-Owners agent how he can save you money on your car insurance. When you hear the news, you’ll be glad you’ve got a few years behind you. Enrollments for...

Hughes said owner of the building Russ Furlong has quoted a price for the building where Irene’s Beauty Shop now operates, but would not reveal the cost. “Our goal is to have our (council) meetings downtown,” said Hughes. 3 The board currently meets at the village community center next to Putnam Park. “It would be to our advantage” to buy the building, said Hughes, because the cost would be lower than that to construct a separate structure. Although the council did not vote on the matter, con­ siderable discussion revealed some members felt the building would not be large enough for office purposes. “I think 10 years down the Let your “beauty go to your “head ead ’ y u deserve it... at the ..-.

But Dick Chaffee said, “To me, it looks like a good deal. It’s a heck of a lot cheaper than building a new one.” It was suggested that if the building was purchased, the police department could be moved to The new space. “We could make the other a police department and take the petitions out of the one we’ve got now,” Chaffee said. “I can’t see the village growing that much in 10 years, it hasn’t grown that much in the last 10 years.” Hughes said he thought the building could be remodeled for village purposes for under $5,000. The council tabled the mat­ ter until further information could be obtained. The council also agreed to give Casgrove Street residents who have not yet hooked up to the new sewer line until September 1 to do so. The cost for hooking up to the line is about $733. Those who do not hook up by Sept. 1 will be charged the regular base rate of $9.50 per month, which is used for sewer debt EATON BOARD OF REALTORS & THE MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE or Phone 852-1916 & HOMER WINEGAR. .(Evenings) 726-0223 HOMER WINEGAR (GRI), JOAN HUBERT DENNIS...................................... 726-0122 equal housing opportuhities Broker WARREN TRAVOLI................................... 852-1515 Also Associate Broker for Century 21 Christensen & Assoc., Charlotte, Michigan HUBERT (DOC) OVERHOLT.....................852-1740 LINDA SEBASTIAN..................................... 852-0931 DON STEINBRECHER.................................852-1784 “TOMORROW" is the Best Reason to Buy a House “TODAY"!

Thelen, Extension 4-H Youth Agent Are horses big business in Michigan? You bet especially racehorses! 4-H’ers involved in the Michigan 4-H Standardbred Production Project are discovering that horses are more than a luxury item. They’re serious business. The purpose of the Standardbred project is to teach young people about the Michigan Standardbred racing industry. Since the program began in 1980, 4-H members have raised 146 horses. “The Standardbred produc­ tion project gives 4-H members a rare opportunity to learn about the economics and career possibilities in the harness racing industry,” says John Aylsworth, Michigan 4-H program leader and project coordinator. Qualified 4-H members are chosen by the 4-H Standardbred Advisory Committee to receive weanling Standardbred foals to raise for one year. The foals are provided by members of the Michigan Stnadardbred Breeders’ Association. A number of educational workshops are held around the state to better acquaint 4-H members with the Standardbred industry. Topics include proper health care, exercise and feeding practices, breeding and harness racing industry careers. Participants also keep detailed records of their horses’ growth and development, as well as detailed expense records. At the end of the program, the yearlings are sold at a recognized Michigan Harness Eaton County Jr. Livestock members to meet April Eaton County 4-H and FFA beef, sheep and swine project members and leaders will meet on Tuesday, April 7, at 7:30 p.m. at Kardel Hall on the fairgrounds in Charlotte.

That’s the advice from Teanna Gamant, Agriculture Program Assistant, who says to expect an increase in the usual damaging insect pro­ blems this year and to watch for new ones. These are her recommendations: —Stored grain. Debris in the bases of bins that were flood­ ed should be cleaned out as much as possible and bins sprayed with malathion or Reldan about mid-May. Place pest strips in the space beneath the false flooring. New grain that went into storage at higher than normal moisture levels or grain that was crack­ ed, and fines from grain, are a haven for damaging insects. Producers should check grain like this regularly and be prepared to reclean and redry it. Spraying or fumigating high moisture, high dockage grain is futile. --Alfalfa. Alfalfa that sur­ vived being flooded will be in poor condition this spring. Check closely for insect problems—aphids, spittlebugs, plant bugs and weevils— during the early season and treat, if needed, to reduce stress on already stressed This week in Lansing By Rep. Frank Fitzgerald A BILL TO INCREASE THE SPEED LIMIT - to 65 m.p.h. on rural interstate highways in Michigan has been introduced in the House. The legislation (HB 4376) would allow state transportation officials to determine which sections of the in­ terstate highways would be posted 65 m.p.h. and which would receive the lower limit. PERSONS CONVICTED OF DEALING DRUGS TO CHILDREN - would be given a mandatory life sentence under a bill now being considered by a House Committee. The pro­ posed law (HB 4324) is directed at dealers who provide drugs to kindergarten through 12th grade students. A FUND THAT WOULD HELP PREVENT ELDER ABUSE - has been proposed and is being considered by a House Committee. House Bill 4316 is designed to prevent the physical, emotional and financial abuse of older Michigan residents and provide aid to the victims of such abuse. If ap­ proved by the Legislature, the fund would provide grants to local agencies that work with senior citizens to help fund shelter and assistance efforts. It would also fund local interven­ tion and education programs. LEGISLATION DESIGNED TO HELP LAW ENFORCE­ MENT OFFICIALS FIND MISSING CHILDREN - has been introduced jn the House. The bills (HB 4366-68) would require birth certificates and school records of suspected kid­ nap victims to be “tagged” at the state and local levels so as to alert authorities of attempts to obtain the needed documenta­ tion. This would help authorities catch non-custodial parents who “snatch” a child, run to another state, and try to enroll the child in school in the new state. A FUTURE EDUCATORS INVESTMENT FUND - has been proposed in HB 4212 and is being considered by the House Appropriations Committee. The fund would provide loans to students whp plan to remain in the state to teach, and support employment incentive grants to be used in districts with teacher shortages. The incentive grants would also be us­ ed to attract teachers to such areas as math and science. plants. Wet conditions will favor development of slugs. —Volunteer wheat. It poses a problem with Hessian fly and probably a greater pro­ blem with yellow dwarf (red leaf) and other diseases. —Standing-com. This could not contribute to any increase in corn borers.. The weather and plant stage when adult com borers are laying eggs will determine the population of the European com borer in any given field. Check fields for their presence as the plants develop. —Weedy fields. Watch them closely starting at full ger­ mination and spray when necessary. Look for cut­ worms, armyworms, billbugs, flea beetles, spr- Barry County Extension ingtails, plant bugs, stalk borers and thrips. High moisture and extra cover will aid slug development. A large number of insect species in Michigan crops are not numerous enough to be of concern under normal condi­ tions. But because of the pests’ high reproductive rate, even a minor change in the en­ vironment may enable insect populations to skyrocket and subsequently damage crops. Watch for problems developing and turn the in­ sects in to the Eaton County Extension Office as soon as damage appears. That will give Extension specialists time to alert other farmers about potential problems.

Betz, Exension Agricultural Agent Studies in five Michigan counties showed com yields did not decrease when farmers applied less phosphorus to soils with a phosphorus buildup. “In side-by-side test strips, applications of 20 pounds of phosphorus yielded an average of 153 bushels ofcom per acre, compared to 147 bushels per acre when 57 pounds of phosphorus were used,” says Donald Christen­ son, Michigan State University Extension soil specialist. “Each of the fields tested had soil phosphorus levels that ranged from 70 to 200 pounds per acre.” This buildup of phosphorus is the result of years of apply­ ing more phosphorus than crops take up, a common practice for Michigan farmers during the past 25 years. Soil tests conducted at MSU show the median value of soil phosophoras in Michigan’s eastern region has increased from 18 pounds per acre in 1962 to 107 pounds in 1985. On most soils, phosphorus does not leach. On sandy soils with a high phosphorus con­ tent, some phosphorus may begin to move downward in the soil. For the research on phosophoras reduction, com fields with high soil Community Notices OLD TIME SQUARE DANCE: Gary Lincoln and the Wranglers will be at Maple Leaf Grange Hall, M-66, 4 miles south ofNashville, Sat, April 4, 9p.m. Come join us.

Guests welcome. phosphorus levels were selected in Gratiot, Huron, Saginaw, Sanilac and Tuscolo counties. In each field, eightt to 16 rows of com received either a 20- or a 57-pound application of P2O5. Tests were conducted in two to four tests areas in each field. At each location, the grower’s standard tillage methods and potash, nitrogen, herbicide and hybrid seed applications were followed. Soil pH ranged from 6.5 to 7.4. Yields were estimated by harvesting one combine swath from each strip. Michigan farmers have readily conceded that cutting back on their phosphorus for one year won’t affect their yields. They are concerned about decreasing soil phosphorus levels to the point where large applications will be needed to restore the field. Research shows this may not be a problem. A 150-bushel corn yield utilizes about 90 pounds of P2O5 per acre, but the actual amount removed from the soil is much less. On sandy soils, the com crop’s using six pounds ofphosphorus reduces the soil test phosphorus level only by one pound. On finetextured soilsX each 16 pounds utilized decreases the phosphorus test level by about one pound per acre. Cutting corn for silage, which removes most of the stalk, will draw down soil phosphorus levels faster than harvesting com grain only. To determine the total ef­ fects of reduced phosphorus applications, the MSU yield test will be conducted for four crop years; 1986 was the first year of the test. Farmers who want to cut back on their phosphorus application must have a soil test run to determine the level of available phosphorus in their fields. Soil tests should be run every three years to determine whether the soil has adequate phosphorus for crop production. The cost of each soil test is $4.50. One soil test can represent up to 15 acres. Sample boxes and instractions are available from your local Cooperative Extension Service office. A farmer who finds out he or she can reduce the phosphorus application can quickly recover the cost of a soil test. Phosphorus sells for 20 to 22 cents per pound. A new program has been developed to provide youth with bantum chickens to start a 4-H poultry project. Randy and Jane Burt of Charlotte are sponsors of the program. Selection will be based on need and the ability to fulfill and keep re- quirements for the chickens. For more information, contact the Eaton County Extension Office.

April 7. 1987 Vermontville looks toward new development projects by Shelly Sulser An apartment building, a laundromat and a car wash could be in Vermontville’s future if two area developers are successful in obtaining special funds from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority. Vermontville’s housing committee had been studying the possibility of obtaining a senior-citizen apartment com­ plex, but builders Dexter Griffin of Charlotte and Ken Merryfield of Mulliken have proposed a possible regular rental apartment structure. The two men said they would also be interested in building the laundromat and car wash for public use, as a part of the apartment project. Griffin, a real estate broker and auctioneer, and Mer­ ryfield, owner of a lumber company, said the Vermont­ ville project and a similar one in Mulliken are their first. Housing Committee Chair­ man Harold Stewart said Grif­ fin and Merryfield came to the village after Vermontville had expressed interest in a housing project to Sen. Jack Schwarz. Schwarz then contacted the two developers who met with the local committee March 27, Stewart said. Griffin and Merryfield Thursday requested the village council draft a letter of support for development in the village, although there would be no cost to the municipality or its residents. “We’re here tonight to see if you want it,” said Griffin. “We can get the money.” The letter the council adopted says the village sup­ ports any residential or com­ mercial development within the limits of Vermontville as of April 2, 1987. Council members expressed approval of the apartment project, whether it be directed toward senior citizens or general ren­ tals, they said. Although the men have not settled on a construction site, they did note they are exploring the possibility of initially bbuilding 10 single story, two bedroom units on about five acres of land. Although Griffin would not say what it would cost per unit to build the complex, he did say the entire apartment project could amount to about $500,000. “But we don’t think it would be as high here as it is in other areas because the land is not that high,” Griffin said. Showing a sample floor plan, Griffin said each apartment would probably measure 24 feet by 36 feet, and a flat rental fee could range from $300 to $325 per month. “I don’t think we would have any problem renting them,” Griffin said. Griffin said local contrac­ tors would be permitted to bid on the job, along with other firms. The two also noted they would need to know where village sewer and water lines run and if the lagoons could handle the extra residents. “We can’t build one here if you can’t serve us with water and sewer,” Griffin told the council. Village President Sue Villanueva agreed, but noted “we can’t give you an answer on sewer and water until we know what site you’re going to pick.” Stewart said the added population would increase tax revenue to the village and local business income would rise to about $3,000 a year each from money spent by goes good.” The council also agreed at its regular meeting Thursday to purchase 200 printed labels from the Charlotte Lithograph Company for use on chemicals stored in the village garage and in the village office to comply with the new Michigan Employee Right to Know Law. The labels will cost $37.30, and contain room for the chemical name, manufacturer’s name, date received, Chemtrec phone number and fire, health, reactivity and other hazards.

Viele agreed last week to become a candidate for one of two open four-year trustee positions on the Maple Valley Board of Education, he said. “People have been trying to talk me into it since this controversy came up,” Viele said Friday.. Viele is an active member in the Concerned Citizens for Responsible School Board Action, a group that formed after suspicions arose that a board evaluation of Superintendent Carroll Wolff was negative and caused him to take a sick leave due to stress. “The only reason I got involved is because I felt somebody was getting railroaded that did an excellent job for this school district,” Viele said, referring to Wolff. “I couldn’t see four or five people treating him in that fashion.” Maple Valley Community Education and enrichment classes will begin during the week following spring vacation. A new session of Jr. Karate and Open Karage classes will begin April 14 at Maplewood Elementary School. To enroll, call the Maple Valley Com­ munity Education Office at 852-9275 or just attend the first session. Jr. Karate is open to all boys and girls from kindergarten to eighth grade. Jr. Karate is held from 6 to 7 p.m. on Tuesdays. A current member of the Eaton Intermediate School District Board for 16 years, and having formerly served 21 years as a Maple Valley School School Board Board trustee, trustee, Viele Viele feels his experience would be an asset to the district. “Maybe with the experience I have, I can bring a little stability to the system, system,” Viele said. Viele grew grew up up on on aa farm farm on on Viele Brown Road outside of Vermontville, montville, and and has lived lived inside inside the village at 220 Round Lake Road since 1951.

He and his wife, Louise, have five children: Gene, Denise, Maureen, Charles, Jr., and Raymond. During his previous service as a local school board Charles Viele member, Viele witnessed many changes in the system, including the consolidation of the Vermontville and Nasville Schools in 1963. He remembers at that time there were two large citizen groups in Nashville and Vermontville pushing for the joint district. ' Viele, 61, was treasurer during most of his board ser­ vice, he said. “The biggest problem we have right now is three or four members trying to run the Miscellaneous school as individual members VERMONTVILLE HARD- instead of the whole board,” WARE: Check our ads for this Viele said. “One member weeks specials.

As a board of education member, Viele said he would “try to see that the board was run as it is. supposed to be, rather than on somebody’s individual ideas.” Four file for school board posts Teach & Do Craft Day ...at Peace United Methodist Church 6043 Scott Rd. at 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. M-79 west of Nashville $£ qq Saturday, April 11 entry fee Materials and lunch may be purchased at church — Many crafts to be shown.

Raymond, who grew up north of Nashville in Castleton Township, wrote articles recalling those times for publication in The Nashville News under the heading, "Reminiscent Sketches. ” Exactly 60 years ago today, on April 7, 1927, The News carried an article by Raymond that was concluded in the following week's issue. In that piece, the writer traced his family’s ruggedjourneyfrom Ohio, the arrival and settle­ ment in Castleton, and his recollection of other early pioneers in the area. Ray­ mond also recalled thefledgl­ ing settlement on the Thomapple River that would eventual­ ly become the village of Nashville. In a two-part series, we arepresenting Raymond ’s story of what he rememberedfrom his arrival in the 1850s, and the lasting impressions absorbed by a young boy, including hisfirst encounter with an Indian. “On his return to Ohio father sold his little place there, shipped his furniture to Battle Creek and, loading up the small articles, we started for Michigan with a covered wagon via the Black Swamp trail up thru Lenawee County, Michigan. If there are any of the readers of The News that migrated from Ohio seventy or more years ago, they will have a vivid remembrance of the trip along that ancient highway. “To enlighten the younger generation, we will state that the Black Swamp was a strip of bottom land nine miles wide, all heavy timber, with now and then a little squatter’s shack hidden in the woods. This swamp country had an unsavory reputation as the habitat of all manner of criminals, counterfeiters, murderers, horse thieves and all related professions. As this was the main route from Ohio up in this part of the state, several years previous to our coming to Michigan a plant road had been built up thru this swamp country, but it had begun to break thru and was full of fearsome holes that threatened to capsize the wagon. We finally got thru safe and sound. “We came to Jackson and then to Albion, Marshall, Battle Creek and then to our new home in Castleton. We stayed with Jonah Rasey until father could get things fixed up. The log house was only part way and had to be built higher, a roof put on, doors and windows put in, floors laid, the cracks chinked up and plastered. About the first of December, 1854, found us duly established (figuratively speaking, under our own vine and fig tree). “The next spring a well was dug. The water was not so deep in the ground as now. The well was only fourteen feet deep and furnished us water for about fifteen years before it went dry. As the writer looks backward to the days of long ago, and in­ cidents that happened therein, we call to mind some things that the present generation will never know about, only by hearsay. One in particular is vividly impressed on our memory, and that is the terrible wood fires that we used to have. “It was woods all around and every one was clearing land, and the fires would get away and run wild, and everybody would turn out to fight fires. We remember one year in particular — the writer was about five years old — it seemed that fall that the whole world was afire and burning up. The smoke settled down so thick that in the mornings you could not see a person Charles Raymond, who recalled the earliest days of the local community , came twenty feet away. “Where our log house to Castleton Township with his family as a young child. He is seen at left in this stood was about two acres of circa-1900 photo of the Buel & White general store. It stood on Main at land that had been cleared so Washington on the present-day site of the Nashville laundromat. (The store later long that the stumps were all was owned and operated by John Appelman.) About 1875,. at a time when the gone. Some one told us that at store wass the property of the Lee Bros., Raymond witnessed inside this building a one time there had been an In­ reunion between the old Ottawa Chief Asquesah and a longtime hunting dian camp there. As to the companion. In a 1927 piece for The Nashville News, he also remembered his first truth ofthat I can’t say, but on childhood encounter with that same Indian. From left in photo are Raymond; about an acre of that ground William Buel, Cort Wilkinson, John Barry (?), Reuben Kuhlman, and Jerry the writer has picked up a large quantity of stone arrowheads. “One day while we were staying at Mr. Rasey’s, the writer was playing on the floor in the front room and facing the window when something cast a shadow in the room. We looked up and there plastered against the window pane was the hideous black face ofan Indian. We let out a yell and the next moment we were sitting in mother’s lap at the back of the room. Now an Indian has one very peculiar trait, before he will go to the door he will peek in the window to see if the peo­ ple are at home. “We learned long after­ wards that this Indian was Chief As-Ka-Saw and was well acquainted with Mr. Rasey. [1987 note: The writer speaks here of Asquesah, chief of the Ottawas, whose name was often spelled phonetically in The News some 60 years ago. The chief, topic ofthe Memories column published in March, 1983, died in 1876 and is buried at Barryville Cemetery, four miles west of Nashville.] “To digress a little, the writer has seen the old chief quite a number oftimes — the last time was about 1875, shortly after he came back from the north. We were in the grocery story on the cor- Rocking and remembering? Perhaps that is what these two unidentified gentlemen are doing in this circa-1910 photo. The man at left appears to be of the ?.rc!.i a[ es Raymond recalled in his stories of pioneers of Castleton Township. Unlike these men, who are seen on the porch of what appears to be a frame nomO'/noseearly settlers Raymond remembered lived in log houses or shacks", and when they died the neighbors filled the role of undertaker. VanNocker. "It was woods all around and everyone was clearing land, and the fires would get away and run wild," recalled Charles Raymond, of those days in the mid-1850s when local settlers used flames as a quick way to clear unwanted growth from their acreages. This scene, some 50 years later, shows a more leisurely pace of leveling timber. The man at left is Alla Campbell of Vermontville; the other is identified only as "Joe". ner (the building was tom down by Frank Kellogg). AsKa-Saw came in for something and was about half way down-the store. An old gentleman by the name of Ira Hall came in the front door, talked a minute and turned around to go out. The old chief spied him and called out something. Finally his gaze rested on As-Ka-Saw, for about ten seconds he looked at him, and then a big, broad smile spread over his face. Well, they met about half way, and acted as tickled as two kids. “They went over to the side of the room and visited. Some times they talked in English and then Indian. Mr. Hall told the writer later that he and the old chief had hunted many a day together years before, and had slept many a night by the same campfire. “But to get back to my story. At the time of our com­ ing to Michigan it was fairly well settled along the State road, as it used to be called. I will state for the benefit of the younger generation that this is the road (east and west) two miles north (of Nashville) by Hosmer’s comers. From the State road to our place was just a trail, and north to the townline was solid woods. From Chance’s corners north, only three houses in the three miles to the townline. From Hosmer’s comers north, on the east side of the road (which wasn’t much better than a trail) to the town line was solid woods. “Right across the road from John Wotring’s farm house was a little shack, in the woods, owned by a man by the name of Brackett, a shoemaker by trade, and he lived there some of the time.” [For 1987 readers, the Wotring place is now the Ron Tobias farm.] “The Old Brick school house stood on the’ corner at the town line on the knoll now occupied by the farm house. To be On the west side of the road, one-half mile south, lived George Morgan. The road us­ ed to turn offjust below where John Wotring’s bam is, and ran around on the west side of the low ground. “There was a little log shack back on the comer of this swamp road. A man by the name of Joe Wilson lived there. He was a very large man and weighed nearly 300 pounds. When he died father made his coffin. In the early days the near neighbors of­ ficiated as undertaker, the cof­ fins being made by local carpenters, and usually made of black walnut lumber. Father made many of them. He bought the trimmings at the hardware stores and kept a small stock on hand. “The next place was a Mr. Baughman, who lived in a log house on the site of Will JTitmarsh’s house, across from the school house.” continued next week— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday.

Unemployment Coinpension Reform Bill sponsored in House ^COMPLETE INSURANCE WORK! 0 and RUST REPAIR | | Fassett BodyShop n Corner of 79 and Ionia Road VERMONTVILLE, MICHIGAN — PHONE — 517/726-0319 fi — HOURS — Reforming Michigan’s unemployment compensation system is a top priority for lawmakers in 1987. That’s why two House Republicans have introduced legislation that would require a one-week waiting period prior to collec­ ting unemployment benefits. The two bills are HB 4149, introduced by State Represen­ tative David Honigman, (RWest Bloomfield) and HB 4170, introduced by Susan Grimes Munsell (RFowlerville). Each bill would also put a cap on unemployment benefits. Our unemployment compensation system is the most expensive in the nation. In Michigan it costs $587 per employee. Compared to states like Indiana, where unemployment costs are only $231 per employee, it’s easy to see why Michigan is losing jobs to its neighbors. While Michigan’s benefit level is reasonable, the system is more costly than other states because the unemploy­ ment rate is much higher, the state average weekly wage is higher and eligibility stan­ dards in Michigan are not as tough as many states. As long as these costs are higher in Michigan, job­ providers will look elsewhere to plant locations and business expansion. For example, one Michigan employer wrote his represen­ tative to point out that he had planned to build a new $1 million plant in Michigan', but decided to relocate to Indiana when it was discovered that the comparative savings in In­ diana on workers’ compensa­ tion insurance, unemployment compensation insurance, single business tax and property taxes would pay for the new $1 million plant in four years. During the recession of the early 1980s, Michigan experienced a dramatic increase in unemployment and the state’s unemployment com­ pensation system plunged into debt.

Fearing that a recent court decision may enable Michigan prison inmates to legally arm themselves, legislation is in the works that would prohibit prisoners from using duress as a defense to carrying weapons. A Republican lawmaker who will introduce the legislation said prosecutors are con­ cerned over a recent state Court of Appeals decision in the case of an Ionia Refor­ matory inmate who was con­ victed of possessing a sharpened spoon during a prison search. The inmate received an ad­ ditional three-year to fiveyear sentence, but the Appeals Court reversed the conviction and sent the case back to the Ionia Circuit Court. The Ap­ peals Court ordered a retrial so the inmate can attempt to prove he was carrying the weapon as protection from other prisoners. The Legislature never in­ tended for the duress defense to apply to prison inmates. This decision could make every prison in Michigan an armed camp by allowing an inmate to have weapons if he or she said it was needed for protection from other in­ mates.

Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis (EEE), a mosquito-transmitted viral disease carried by birds, has been a problem in the southern half of the lower Peninsula of Michigan during the past several summers. This virus invades the brain tissue and spinal cord of horses, thus disrupting their function. The horse experiences a rise in temperature, becomes depressed and develops a poor appetite. They then have trou­ ble eating and drinking and typically become incoordiated before going into convulsions and then a coma before necessitating euthanasia. There is no effective treat­ ment for equine encephalomyelitis. Early vac­ cination is recommended before the mosquito season begins. The vaccine takes 10 days to two weeks to become effective and can last from six to nine months, depending on which vaccine product is us­ ed. For further information, contact your veterinarian. Nitrogen fertilizer critical to damaged winter wheat crop by Allen P. Krizek, County Extension Director Spring nitrogen fertilization is critical for winter wheat that has suffered winter damage. The nitrogen will en­ courage tillering to make up for a thin or damaged stand. According to Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, a thin stand is con­ sidered to have less than 18 plants per foot of row in 7 inch rows, or less than 31 plants per square foot, if the wheat was broadcast seeded. A thin stand will produce a satisfactory yield if 60-100 pounds of nitrogen is applied now prior to green-up. If the stand is thicker than the population mentioned above, then early nitrogen fertiliza­ tion is not as critical. Many growers will combine her­ bicide and nitrogen fertilizer with an application within 2 or 3 weeks of green-up. Wheat fields showing less than 9 plants per foot of row in 7 inch rows of 16 plants per square foot, likely have too low of a population to produce a satisfactory yield. Check with the ASCS office if you decide to destroy wheat enrolled in the government program.

As if winning back-to-back championships isn't difficult enough, how does three in a row sound? To Lonnie Spencer it sounds, uh, well...possible. “If the pitching holds up, yes, we have a shot at the con­ ference,” says the secondyear Maple Valley baseball coach. Last year the Lions won 9 of 12 SMAA games and finished 12-8 overall to collect its second straight SMAA crown. Returning from that team are nine lettermen in­ cluding three all-leaguers. Spencer likes the 1987 Lion team. “We’ve made some techni­ que improvements in hitting and pitching because of some clinic assistance. We’ve employed some new ideas and I’m looking for an outstanding year,” he says. Spencer says the league will be well-balanced with Pennfield, Bronson and Bellevue as well as Maple Valley all in the hunt. The Lions will be a “very good offensive club,” pro­ mises Spencer. Heading the offense are first baseman The Maple Valley baseball team: (front row left to right) David Benif, Sherman Reid, Adam Brumm, Jeff Fisher, Matt McClelland, Tai Gearhart (second row) Lonnie Spencer, Jeff Campo, Dale Dickinson, Mickey Tilley, Dan Murphy, Dan Kellogg, Scott Lenz (third row) Diane Kane, Rich Varney, Richard Meade, Brock DeGroot, Matt Brown. Adam Brumm, shortstop Tai Gearhart and pitcher Scot Lenz — all making the SMAA team a year ago. Centerfielder Matt McClelland also had a fine year. Brumm hit .537 while set­ ting school records for most hits and rbis. Gearhart batted .407 while leading the team in runs and playing a fine short­ stop. McClelland hit .367 from his leadoff position. They join returning in­ fielders Sherm Reid and David Benit and outfielder Jack Campo. Outfielder Mickey Tilley and catcher Jeff Fisher also saw varsity action at the end of the year. Spencer has some questions with his pitching staff after ace Lenz, who won 4 of 6 league decisions while fashioning a fine 2.59 ERA. The junior righthander struck out 1.3 men per inning. Spencer also likes Maple Valley’s depth. Currently the Lions have 16 players on the roster. As for weak spots, Spencer will have a find a pair of new outfielfers to join McClelland and a backup catcher. 1986-87 Girls’ & Boys’ Winter SPORTS PREVIEW These area merchants support the LIONS year-round!

Veteran Lion coach Chris Ricketts says his team should be representative providing it can come up with enough pit­ ching. Last year the Lions’ compiled a decent 8-6 mark good for third place in the SMAA and no less than seven lettermen return from that team. Even so, Ricketts doesn’t foresee moving up in league standings unless a suspect pit­ ching staff comes around. “Not unless we can come up with pitching,” says Ricketts of the hopes of a SMAA title.. “It needs improving.” Maple Valley does have senior Beth Starring, but Ricketts doesn’t want to move his all-league shortstop from that position; As a result, sophomores Chris Gardner and Patty Jarman will get long looks. The rest of the team looks solid with good speed, hitting and defense. Returnees Sheri Forell in Centerfield, who stole 29 bases a year ago, and Dawn Morawski at catcher combine with sophomore utility players Stefanie Whit- Lion experience more and Kristin Royston to form an exceptionally fast team. “We’ll have real good team speed,” notes Ricketts. Hitting likewise won’t be problem. Starring and Forell both hit over .400 a year ago while fellow lettermen Diona Morawski (3b-of), Shannon Woodworth (lb), Jennifer Fisher (2b), and Michelle Dickinson (of) should all benefit from their varsity experience. Defensively, Ricketts says it all depends on a few of the newcomers coming through — particularly at third base. “If we can get a couple of the youngsters to play, we should be strong,” says Ricketts. Tradional softball power Bellevue “will be tough,” while Bronson is a darkhorse, says Ricketts. Depending on the pitching, Ricketts says his team could challenge for the SMAA crown. Maple Valley boys track team: (front row left to right) Larry Ainsworth, Shawn Carpenter, Shawn Thomp“I would say we’d finish in son, Cory Mattson, Rob Pool, Greg Reid (second row) Betsy Roberts, Andy Goodrich, Mark Bukoski, Mike the middle of the pack unless Cheeseman, Paul Boldrey, Mike Everett (back row) Brian Ainsworth, Paul Bahs, Scott Carpenter, Rob Cook, we can get the pitching,” he Doug Franklin, Dan Siple. says. “The problem is defen­ sively you can stop only so many hits.

Larry Ainsworth has only 20 youngsters dotting his Lion track roster, and while talent may exist on this year’s team, Ainsworth says- numbers will hurt his team. “We just don’t have the depth,” notes Ainsworth. “We’ll take our share of firsts in certain events, but firsts don’t win meets. You need seconds and thirds to go along with those firsts.” The Lions finished with a mediocre 5-7 mark and fifth place SMAA spot a year ago. Ainsworth has seven runners back from that team. Heading the list ofreturnees is Brian Ainsworth in the sprints, Scott Carpenter in the 880, Paul Bahs in the pole vault and relays, Mike Cheeseman in the long jump and 330 low hurdles, Cody Mattson in the mile and twomile, Matt Bukoski in the 100 and 220 and Eric Terpening in the 100 and 220. Promising newcomers in­ clude Andy Goodrich in the distances, Rob Pool in the sprints, and Shawn Thompson in the pole vault. Ainsworth says his team will be particularly strong in the 100, 220 and 440 and well as the high jump and pole vault. Because of numbers, relay events will be a problem. Of the 20 players on the team, three are strictly field events. “We don’t have the numbers out to have what it takes,” says Ainsworth of his relays. Pennfield, last year’s SMAA champ, and Spr­ ingfield are the class of the 1987 SMAA. Ainsworth says his team’s shortcomings will probably keep them from challenging the projected SMAA leaders. “Because of our relays- I can’t say we’ll finish much higher than third or fourth,” he says.

April 14. 1987 Irene's Beauty to close April 17; villlage buys building by Shelly Sulser With approval by the Nashville council Thursday to purchase a building adjacent to village hall, plans are underway to expand the office and police department space. The council agreed at its regular meeting to spend $18,000 to buy the building from Irene Furlong who plans to close her beauty shop there April 17. The construction of a new building and garage for storage and police vehicles had originally been proposed by council members seeking to hold their meetings in the office. Meetings are currently held al the village community center where there is no ac­ cess to records and other paperwork. But since the building at 204 N. Main was offered for sale to the village, council members felt it may be less expensive to purchase the ex­ isting structure rather than construct a new one, village President John Hughes said. Although no plans have been finalized, it was sug­ gested the partitions in the ex­ isting village office building at 206 N. Main be removed. making space for meetings to be held. In addition, the police department currently housed in the same building could be moved to the building next door or vice versa. Acting Police Chief Gene Koetje said. Marsha Ainslie, the only trustee to vote against the ac­ tion, stated the building would not be large enough to accom­ modate office equipment and meetings in 10 years. Koetje agreed the building is not adequate, he said. “I remember when we had meetings there (in the existing office building) before and since then four filing cabinets have been added. We’ve (police) added one,” Koetje said prior to voting. “Why did we move? At that time it was not adequate. Now you’re going to go back to that building with more cabinets.” After extenstive discussion, Hughes stated he had not plan­ ned to decide how to use the building at the Thursday meeting, but felt it should be explored at a committee meeting. “We’ve discussed this in different ways, shapes and forms,” he said, “and I don’t think we’re out anything by buying this building. We will have adequate room for meetings.” Trustee Ben Mason also noted the building could be of use to the village. With a 6-1 vote, the council agreed to purchase the building with $18,000 from the general government building and equipment fund, budgeted at $38,980. Cost for remodeling was estimated at $5,000. “It’s cheaper than building one," Hughes said. “I think we can make this something we can use.” Mason also stated he believes “the taxpayers would rather go this direction.” Trustee Larry Filter sug­ gested taking action regarding the proposed garage as well, but Hughes felt costs should first be explored before the council makes that decision, he said.

Inmates are subjected to tough discipline and a strict work ethic all manual labor, he said. Castleton Township Super­ visor Justin Cooley said “it could serve to alter their (prisoners) outlook on life and possibly make them better citizens." The prisoners would be housed in a barracks type rooms, making it possible for counties to start a facility in an existing structure such as an abondoned school house restored with the state funds. “To me that would be ideal conditions,” Welborn said. The facility could employ local people with army or police backgrounds. Welborn said, or interested individuals from other areas. Welborn strongly suggests a facility open in Calhoun or Kalamazoo counties that would also serve Barry and possibly St. Joseph counties. “Barry County itself could not sustain one because it does not have enough prisoners,” Welborn said. He said capaci­ ty of the facility would range from about 35 to 50 inmates at a time. Welborn did not rule out the possiblity of Barry County operating a facility to serve Calhoun, Kalamazoo and other surrounding coun­ ties as well, however. Welborn said the state at first did not support building the facilities around the state with state funds. “They equalled it with ‘Scared Straight’ where young offenders visit a prison like Jackson where there are some real hard core criminals,” said Welborn. “It kind of scares them into straightening up.

Trustee Carl Tobias agreed. “It seems to me that it should at least be offered to the seniority person,” he said. Hughes said he did not know if Corkwell had been asked if he wanted the job. “It was the recommenda­ tion of the man we hired to be the department head,” Hughes said. No action was taken on the issue which will be discussed further by the committee and presented to the council at a later date, it was decided.

The presentation was made during the 59th State FFA Conven­ tion on the campus of Michigan State University. Two Maple Valley Chapter Members, Scott Reid and Troy Thompson were among the 184 honored with the degree. They each received a certificate and the Gold State FFA Degree charm to mark the achievement. The FFA members being awarded the State FFA Degree this year, represent the best of the more than 6,000 members enrolled in Michigan vocational agriculture programs. Students receive the degree in either production agriculture or agribusiness. FFA members begin as “Greenhands” and after one year of membership, may ad­ vance to the degree of the "Chapter Farmer”. The FFA Degree presented only by the State FFA Association, is limited to three percent of the state’s membership. The Maple Valley F.F.A. was also honored with a Superior Chapter Award at this year’s convention. This award is a reflection of the chapter taking part in many varied activities this past year.

Next Daniel Falconer, place now owned by Cleve Straw. “There was a little shack on the corner where the State road crosses the town line. Just east of George Taylor’s house lived an old couple by the name of Monks. Mrs. Monks was the mother of Mrs. Falconer and she wass very large and masculine, but had a heart as large as her stature.

The next Charles Raymond recalled that as a youth he had "been all over the standpipe hill when it was woods." Few trees remain on the hill, seen at left, when this photo was taken about 1905. The standpipe water tower was built in 1892, the year after the waterworks building (seen at right with smokestack) was completed. Visible across North Main Street from the pump house is the old Kellogg planing mill, constructed in 1887. The earliest Thornapple River dam was upstream from this one, and ran in a more-or-less northerly direction, with a saw mill on the north bank. half mile to Hosmer’s comers was solid woods. On the mile west of Hosmer’s, on the north side one-half mile west of Austin Brooks’, the only house that we remember. On the south side there were no houses until we reached the corner where lived a man by the name of Mullen, grandfather of Myrtle Caley. The house stood where the little brick house now stands. On the northwest comer, a little to the west, lived Jim Cross, father of Mrs. Caley. “Going south to the river road, two miles, on the west side lived Thompson Jones. On the east side where Offley built the brick barn, was Levi Everts’ farm (he was the father of Levi, Jr.). About where Roy Brumm lives was a Mr. Stauffer, grandfather of ‘Big Fike’.” [Here, Raymond refers to longtime Nashville News publisher Len W. Feighner.] “On the ■ northwest comer, a mile west of Marble’s corners was a Mr. Walker. One mile south from here only one house stood, and that was on the west side, John Weis. “ “From From Hosmer Hosmer’’ss corners corners south, first mile, on the east side lived Rinaldo Everts, an uncle of Floyd Everts. On the south end of George Austin’s west forty lived a man by the name of Abraham Linsea. To get there you had to go thru the woods. “On the comer, lived Alex price. As we remember, on the mile west on the north side was William Troxel and John Feighner, and we think a schoolhouse. The south side was all woods. East of Price comers on the south side were three houses. First, we think, a Mr. Harround, next, Mr. Bachelder. We do not remember who lived where Ed Palmer lived, but the road ended there. On the north side was all woods. From Alex Price’s corners south was all woods.” [In 1987 terms, the author is speaking of directions from the present-day in­ tersection of M-66 and Thornapple Lake Road.] “About one-half mile west of Knoll’s comers [at present­ day Brumm Road and Bridge Street] lived Henry Feighner on the south side, the farm afterwards owned by Hiram Coe. There wasn’t any road thru there then. “The old saw mill stood at the north end ofthe dam. [For clarification for 1987 readers, the first dam across the Thornapple River was situated upstream from the presentday dam, and ran in a moreor-less northerly direction.] “This mill as near as we can learn, was built by Hiram Hanchett somewhere around 1848. On the comer of the Lass property was a blacksmith shop; the man who ran it was Samuel Clendenin, an old ‘forty-niner’ who was noted for telling yarns. He liv­ ed in a house on what is now the southwest corner of Put­ nam Park. “We do not know when the old [first, crude wooden] bridge was built. We think probably Bill Feighner could tell. The writer has been all over the standpipe hill when it was woods. “Now we are telling this as we remember it. We will fur­ ther state that ninety-five per­ cent of the people mentioned in this article lived in log houses. Further, George Morgan, William Wilkinson, Jonah Rasey and Mr. Monks did not have any stoves in their houses, but did all of their cooking in the fireplace, and, except Mr. Rasey, baked their bread in a reflector oven before the fire. Mr. Rasey had a bake oven built in the side of the fireplace. “Mr. Monks had the largest fireplace that we ever saw. It occupied nearly the whole side of the old log house, and used four-foot wood, but wood was cheap those days and they ‘had it to burn’.” Phone... 726-0330 /tancu 6 BEAUTY SHOP 157 South Main Vermontville, Michigan 49096 YOUR FAMILY HAIR CARE CENTER PINK & YELLOW Candy Coated Wafer < 1 qg Reg. 149 . $000 Peanut Flavor Wafer dG Reg. » Nashville had developed into this thriving, attractive community less than half a century after the arrival ot the Raymond family and other local pioneers who first dubbed the early settlement "Forest City."

Ron Grider of Vermontville, left, and Max Phelps build a retaining wall during the work trip to Aruba recently. Two Nashville Baptist Church couples have recently returned from a two week missionary assignment in the South American island of Aruba where they put their time and energy to use building a church. Ron and Betty Grider of Vermontville and Arden and Virginia Burd of Nashville were among residents of other surrounding communities that decided to spend their vaca­ tions as Mobilization and Placement Services (MAPS) volunteers. The program is a ministry service of the Assemblies of God which assigns volunteer workers to construction pro­ jects in the United States and overseas. Grider and Jim Wilcox, both employees of the River­ side Correctional Facility in Ionia, gathered a group of 16 men and women from various church demoninations and left for their trip Feb. 6. A poor economy in the island off the northwest tip of Venezuela attracted the mis­ sionary group to Aruba because help was needed to complete construction of a church and Bible college. Accompanying the Griders, the Burds and Wilcox were his wife, Betty Wilcox, Don and Leona Parcher of Fenwick; Carol Green, Ionia; Doris Clevenger, Stanton; and Bob Brundage, Sheridan. Clevenger’s neice, Sheila Withey also attended, as did Brundage’s father, Larry and friend, Max Phelps of Stanton, and Al and Linda Buchanan of the Grant Assembly of God. During the two week assignment, the men did ce­ ment work, put up steel beams and installed drywall and floor tile. The women not only cooked and washed dishes and laundry, but joined with the men in cutting steel, reinforc­ ing rods, sanding, staining and varnishing doors and woodwork. The Michigan workers liv­ ed in the basement of the twostory structure designed to serve not only as the church and Bible college, but as educational and medical facility for the entire island population of 64,000. one of our guest speakers.

Thompson, 44, is a lifelong resident ofthe area, having at­ tended the Vermontville schools. He and his wife, Rosemary have five children, Hope, Faith, Parmer, Dennis and Leo. and live at 5507 Cur­ tis Rd., Nashville. Thompson said he decided to become a candidate for one of two available four-year trustee terms because the public needs to become more involved with the schools. “I think it’s about time the public started paying attention to what’s happening to their district," Thompson said. “I think we’ve lost interest in the school system.’’ He added that "in the past year. I've been involved more in watching the system than I have in the last seven or eight years." due to the increasing amount of students dropping out of school or graduating without knowing how to read or write, he said. “Ifwe let our young people go, what’s the world going to be like 20 years from now?,’’ he said. "Some things I think could change to improve education is better teaching for one.” Thompson feels the teachers should be screened more thoroughly before they are hired, to be sure they have the capability to teach. "And they should also have the potential to teach a 'D' student as well as an ‘A’ or 'B' student," Thompson said. Thompson has been the owner and operator of JR Shop, a small engine repair business for nearly seven years, and plans to close down soon, he said. He noted he w ill have the time to devote to being a school board member when he retires. "The biggest thing I’d like to see in the system is the board trying to do something about the drugs in the school. Maybe if they had a class they could attend one day a week.” he said. "And it’s not only drugs, it’s alcohol too. Drugs and alcoholl are so bad. Something's got to be done about it. They always say ‘next year.’ Well next year has passed. Something should have been done long ago." Thompson is one of seven people who filed nominating petitions to run for the two board seats currently held by Paula Cole and Kenneth Meade, which expire June 30, 1987. Cole has decided to step down, but Meade is a candidate. The board election will be held June 8. — NOTICE — Vermontville Residents Hydrants will be flushed Wednesday, April 15th beginning at approximately 10:00 p.m. This may cause temporary discoloration of the water.

April 14. 1967 — Pa<ge 13 Sign-up underway for Michigan Youth Corps Applications for the 1987 Michigan Youth Corps which will attempt to do something no other stale has ever done - provide a sum­ mer job to ever 18-21-year old who needs a job and wants to work — will be accepted at hundreds of locations throughout Michigan beginn­ ing April I, Governor James J. Blanchard announced. For the fifth consecutive summer, the Youth Corps will provide jobs and work ex­ perience to unemployed 18-through 21-year-olds in all 83 Michigan counties. Ap­ plications will be taken begin­ ning tomorrow, with work projects starting June I. The program ends Sept 30. “We will do something this summer that has never been done before,” Governor Blanchard said. “Our goal is to make sure that no 18-through 21-year-old who cannot find work will go jobless this summer. “With the additional sup­ port that I have asked the Legislature to provide, we can keep this pledge,” the Gover­ nor said. “It is a wise invest­ ment in Michigan's future and the future of our young people.” This year’s Youth Corps also will continue to provide an effective link to future private sector employment. In 1986, nearly 80 percent of Youth Corps members went on to jobs or additional educa­ tion or job training. Applications are available at all Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) offices, Michigan Employment Security offices. Department of Social Services (DSS) local offices, com­ munity colleges, colleges and universities. The DSS also will mail 60,000 applications directly to the homes of public assistance clients who are eligible for the Youth Corps. Youth Corps jobs give workers a chance to earn ap­ proximately SI,000 over the summer at S3.35 an hour. This year, all Youth Corps workers will receive employability skills training geared toward individual needs. Special services will also be provided to Youth Corps participants who are high school dropouts. Under the leadership of the Youth Corps Opportunities Group, a special advisory panel appointed by Gov. Blanchard to advise the Youth Corps, a job placement assistance program will be ex­ panded. Called the “Employer Honor Roll." Michigan businesses ill guarantee job interview's to all persons who successfully complete the program. In 1986, 16 businesses par­ ticipated in the Honor Roll. The Youth Corps is the largest state-sponsored sum­ mer youth employment pro- gram in the nation. It has pro­ vided more than 73.000 summer jobs since it was established by Gov, Blan­ chard and the legislature in 1983.

Fitzgerald Frank M. Last week Governor Blan­ chard unveiled a plan to pro­ vide property tax relief. While any property tax proposal merits consideration by lawmakers, the final legisla­ tion should provide com­ prehensive reform. The governor's plan fails to ac­ complish that goal. The Governor would have the state pay the first 10 mills of property taxes on the first $20,000 of the market value of homeowners' residences. This would amount to $100 of property tax relief annually for each homeowner, in addi­ tion to any property tax credit the homeowner might qualify to receive under the "circuit breaker" program. It will cost state government an estimated $200 million to make the payments to proper­ ty taxpayers. The governor wants to cover this cost by im­ posing higher taxes on finan­ cial institutions, in-state in­ surance companies, active military personnel, utilities and lottery winnings. Blan­ chard also wants to eliminate the homestead property tax credit for homeowners whose adjusted gross incomes exceed $50,000 per year. There are several serious problems with the package. Providing $200 million of additional relief in a property tax system that costs $3.8 billion for eduction alone is just a drop in the bucket. The plan does nothing to reduce the dependency of local schools on property taxes — and fails to address the huge disparity in funding available to school districts, ranging from $1,700 to $5,900 per student. We need to look at the big- ger picture and provide overall, comprehensive reform. This plan is a poor substitute for meaningful changes in our troubled school financing system. The package would also be an attack on capital in this state — discouraging investment that is needed for Michigan’s economy. If enacted, it would hurt financial institutions and in turn, customers would be hit with higher costs.

News Action-Ads! A MICHIGAN RECREATION IMPROVEMENT FUND is being considered by the House Taxation Committee. The fund being proposed in HB 4169 would receive 3.5% of state gas and diesel fuel taxes and would be used to finance recreational projects. 52% of the fund would go to the Michigan state waterways fund, 20% to the recreational snowmobile trail improvement fund, and 15% to off-road vehicle programs. The remaining money would be distributed to recreational projects. THE NUMBER OF WELFARE CASELOADS INCREAS­ ED in the month of February. Aid to Dependent Children in­ creased by 1,467 cases while General Assistance caseloads increased by 1,374 cases. In addition, the food stamp caseload added 2,058 families. A TEN-BILL PACKAGE DEALING WITH MANY DIF­ FERENT TRANSPORTATION ISSUES is being consider­ ing by the Senate Committee on State Affairs, Tourism and Transportation. The most prominent detail about the package is that it contains no general gas tax increase. The legislation pro­ vides for local option gas taxes, local option vehicle registra­ tion fees and local real estate transfer fees. LEADERS OF THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN POLICY COMMITTEE task force have called for passage of legisla­ tion to lower the state income tax rate and possibly increase the personal deduction before April 15. While insisting on a dollar for dollar return ofthe windfall that the state will receive due to the federal tax reform, the leaders said that one workable plan would be to lower the income tax rate to 4.5% and raise the personal exemption to $1,750. The current exemption is $1,500 per dependent. A PACKAGE OF WORKERS’ COMPENSATION BILLS that would make Michigan businesses more competitive na­ tionally and with other states in our region has been passed by the Senate.

Other major expenses are transpor­ tation and equipment, Reid said. The board initially pays the athletic costs and bills the boosters for reimbursement. “You have poured new life into these people,” Sampson told the board. “When they came to you last fall, I saw them ready to fold. Now, they’re full of life because you brought them over the hump.” The biggest boosters fun­ draiser is the weekly bingo night, which generates $15,000 annually. “The board did state that if we anticipated some problems that we should present them to the board well in advance,” said booster Tom Joostbems. “This is what we’re doing.” Joostbems said the wrestl­ ing team is in need of new mats, another major anticipated expense. “We’re just asking for assistance so when next season starts, we can buy mats,” Joostbems said.

Two local citizens honored Continued from front page Mrs. Kroger’s grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Tubbs moved to Vermontville in 1890. Miss Shepard, the daughter of Samuel and Hattie (Childs) Shepard, attended Chance School, located on the corner of Vermontville Hwy. and Irish Rd. The school housed first through eighth grade students and as many as 30 children attended at one time. Graduating from Vermont­ ville High School in 1928, Miss Shepard said her class was the last class to hold its graduation ceremony at the village Opera House. Her graduation was four years late because of illness, she said. After high school, she stayed at home and worked on the farm. Later when World War II began and women were needed to keep the fac­ tories running, Miss Shepard worked at the Eaton Manufac­ turing Co. (now Eaton Cor­ poration) in Battle Creek, per­ forming a variety ofjobs in­ cluding file polisher until the war was over. The next five years were spent at home and in 1950, Eaton called her back to work in the inspection department. She also worked at the test table, reading blueprints and using other skills. Miss Shepard retired in 1967 as a product control employee. She ventured into local historical research when she retired and says her start “ was awful slow* because it was difficult to find the information. But, she said “I always lov­ ed history.” When she obtained Mr. Barber’s historical account of Vermontville history, her research’went a lot smoother. “I learned the names (of pioneer families) by heart and then I could carry on real Athletic Boosters , good.” She’s spent many hours of research sometimes going to the State Library from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and working on her notes til 1 a.m. Miss Shepard has written on many historical topics of Ver­ montville’s history, including publishing a book, “History of Vermontville” in 1980. Her family includes a nephew Phillip LaFleur and a niece Virginia Cox. A sister and brother are deceased. continued from page one would lose faith in the board if they spent recently passed millage for sports although it was not announced the funds would be allocated for athletics. Although Superintendent Carroll Wolff noted the board had agreed to begin funding athletics completely in the 1988-89 school year, Wolff said the board can afford to pick up the tab for one season next year, and still reach a goal of a seven percent fund balance June 30, 1988. “As far as a ballot issue, it would have to be passed (by the board) not later than May l...but provided the delin­ quent fund dollars come in (from the state), there are monies available. You could pay for fall sports and still have a seven percent balance,” he said. He added that “whether you ask for one quarter mill or one half mill, I can not be optimistic about the results.” Wolff said history has pro­ ven that if a district returns a year after millage has passed to ask for additional funds for athletics, it is “exremely dif­ ficult” to pass. Voters in the Maple Valley District approv­ ed a four mill increase in last June’s election. Board President David Hawkins asked Wolff if he suggests the board allocate funds for fall sports next year. “I did last year and I will this year,” he said. Hawkins referred the matter to the finance committee to explore. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 21, 1987 — Page 5 Tickets now on sale for "Annual C.O.A.

LITCHFIELD �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday, April 21, 1987 — Page 6 look back of some front page news in 1927 A What was the talk of the town in Nashville exactly 60 years ago today? The con­ troversy over “slow” or “fast" time; a rain-shortened baseball game with Woodland; a dog who stole the show at a dinner meeting of the local Community Club (forerunner of today’s Chamber of Commerce). For a glimpse at these stories and a few others of that day. let’s take a look at the front page of The Nashville News issue of April 21, 1927. “The adoption of eastern standard time has been the topic of considerable discus­ sion for several days past, and a majority of the business in­ terests have declared in favor ofthe change. The Lentz table factory, in response to a petition from their employees, adopted fast time Monday morning and will continue on that schedule for the balance of the season. The local schools asked for an expres­ sion of opinion from the parents of the pupils, and as a result turned the clocks ahead one hour. “Yesterday morning a petition (supporting adoption of eastern standard time) was circulated among the businessmen...The canvas showed 45 in favor of the change, 16 opposed, a small number disinterested and a few absent. A majority registering in favor of daylight saving, clocks will be turned ahead one hour this Thursday morning.” (1987 note: This was an era when it was left up to the individual communities whether or not they would adopt ST for the summer.) “County Chairman Fred E. Hill of Hastings and Major R. C. Cotton, U. S. Army, in charge of the Southwestern District of Michigan, were in Nashville Monday afternoon and talked to the high school boys in regards to the Citizens’ Military Training Camp to be held at Camp Custer July 7 to August 5. The C.M.T.C. has been in ex­ istence six years, and is a recognized factor in training of young men in the duties of. American citizenship, in equipping them with stronger bodies and more alert minds to face life’s problems. “The age limit is 17 to 30, and youths under age must have their parents’ consent. Physical examination is given free of charge, and all necessary equipment, including transportation to and from camp, uniforms, meals, quarters and laundry, etc., will be met by the government. “The thirty days of training include instruction in a wide variety of subjects, from a study of the Constitution of the U. S. to radio, telegraphy, telephony, map-reading and sketching, sanitation and hygiene as applied to life out­ doors. The candidates will learn to march and ride, shoot pistols, rifles and field pieces, and there will be enough physical exercises and games to keep the strong, young bodies fit and young brains alert...Attendance at any of these camps does not imply any further obligation for military service, but the satisfactory completion of a four years course permits a young man to accept a com­ mission in the Army of the United States Reserve.” “N. H. S. ball team defeated Woodland in a sixinning game at Riverside park Tuesday afternoon by a score of5 to 4. It was a close and in­ teresting game, but came to an abrupt end when the heavy shower sent players and fans scampering for shelter. Woodard and Williams were the battery for Nashville, and V. Barnum and Hawkins did the heavy work for Woodland.” “The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Indepen­ dent Oil Co. was held Friday evening, April 15. The com­ pany has had a prosperous year with a 50 per cent in­ crease in business over the previous one and the capital stock is all sold, which shows the confidence that this comparatively new corporation has merited in Nashville and vicinity. “The present officerss were re-elected as follows: W. J. Liebhauser, director and president; Ward A. Quick, director and vice president; G. C. Edmonds, director and secretarytreasurer; Chas. Mason and A. M. Burnett, directors. “Marland products will continue to be handled with addition of Mobiloils and Pennzoils.” Employees of the Lentz table factory, Nashville's largest employer in that era, petitioned the company to adopt "fast time” in April, 1927. .The local school followed suit, and set the clock ahead one hour. This photo of Lentz workers was taken some 15 years earlier. From left are a Mr. Stevens; an unidentified man; Bill Munson, Ed Messimer, a young lad named Barnes; Harry Kittinger (in white cap) with arms around the neck of Glenn Howell; Bill Snow (wearing dark hat, behind Kittinger); Carl Howell (standing high in the background); William Hecker; Bert Partridge; Otis Gokay, Charles Ackett and Leon Partridge. “Those who failed to attend the last meeting of the Nashville P.T.A. missed a splendid program and good time. Nearly every teacher was present, but we can not say as much of the parents. “So, parents let us all show a greater spirit of cooperation, for what is more worthy of our time than to be interested in the education of our children. “A very good program is being prepared for the next meeting, which will be held next Monday evening at 7:30 sharp, fast time.” “Frank Gokay, aged 83, passed away Monday morning at his home on Phillips Street from uraemic poisoning. Mr. Gokay had been ailing for some time, but was able to be out and around until about two weeks ago, at which time his affliction became so serious that he was confined to his bed. He was in a semiconscious condition most of the time and failed gradually until death came to his relief. “The deceased had been a resident of Nashville for the past 45 years and was a veteran of the Civil War, ser­ ving three years in the 11th New York Cavalry.

This put a big load on some of the members.” Maple Valley defeated Portland St. Pats with a score of 97-32. Out of 17 events, Maple Valley took first place in 16 of them. The other part of the dual meet went right down to the last event of the meet. Going into the mile relay, Bath had 66 points and Maple Valley had 62. Since a relay is worth 5 points and nothing for second, it was winner take all. The four boys on the relay team gave it a good try but came up short and the final score was Bath 71, Maple Valley 62. On Wednesday, April 15, Maple Valley traveled to Bellevue for another double dual meet with Bellevue and Potterville. Again, this year, Potterville, as it has in the past, came away with a vic­ tory over Maple Valley because of the sheer number of boys on the team. Final score was Potterville 86, Maple Valley 51. The second part of the meet was our first conference meet and the team did very well. Maple Valley out scored Bellevue 92 to 45.

They arrived at the Capitol building at 8:30 a.m. to tour it. A guide reviewed the history of the building. The Scouts viewed both the Senate and House of Representatives and were given information concerning the chamber’s histories and architecture. The group then went to the Secretary of State’s office and met with Richard Austin. Here the scouts asked many questions concerning the 65 mile and hour speed limit and radar detectors. The scouts next stop was at the Supreme Court where aides explained to them the working of the court. The scouts then returned to the House to view a session in progress. There Representative Robert Robert Bender Bender recognized the group from the floor. He then met with them in the House Gallery. Then they moved on to the Senate where they listened to a debate on gun control. The next stop was to the Mason Building Cafeteria for lunch. From there they visited the Michigan Historical Museum for a tour. The scouts then traveled to Oldsmobile Plant #3 for a tour, which was arranged by Dave Kuempel. They viewed the affects of robotics on present day production and were able to talk and ask questions of skilled tradesmen. The scouts found this fascinating.

That was well attend­ ed and we had just super weather,” Trumble said. Although there had been some question by area residents attending the festival Saturday whether the crowds measured up to past years,’ Trumble said the combined at­ tendance of the Friday, Satur­ day and Sunday activities boosted the numbers to above average. “Until after noon, the crowd is kind of sparse,” Trumble said. “But I directed traffic during the parade and there was a steady stream coming into Vermontville from Lansing and that direction. Trumble said the arts and crafts show proved again to be a successful festival draw, as did the pancake meals, carnival rides and all the festival events. He was especially impressed with attendance at Sunday’s arm wrestling contest, wood chopping, pancake derby, egg toss and pig catch. “Sunday was just an exceptional day,” Trumble said. Trumble attributes the popularity ofthe festival to the pre-publictiy given this year not only b.y the local newspaper, but by the media in Lansing and Battle Creek. “My job is to promote it and because of your efforts and our efforts, along with a couple of the major newspapers, everything came together. It was the biggest crowd I’ve ever seen here,” Trumble said. Although there were no local police on duty due to the recent layoff of the Vermont­ ville Township Police Depart­ ment, Trumble said the village was well covered with five Eaton County Sheriff Department teams on duty, along with State Police. There were nearly 60 units The Maple Valley High School band was kept busy during the festival Saturday marching in the parade.

The fee will cover the cost of advertising the location of each sale and for the printing of the signs. Those wishing to participate in the garage sale day can register at Grandma’s Greenery. Deadline to sign up is the first week ofJune, Mace said. Mace added he is currently attempting to line up some other activities to take place in town on the day ofthe sales to help draw prospective buyers.

The trash pick-up trucks will collect bags at the curbside, Village President John Hughes said, and the same rules that were in effect last year will again apply: No appliances; no concrete; no dirt; no hazzardous waste (such as liquids, paint, oil, etc.); no loose brush, all brush must be bound in bundles no larger than three feet by five feet and nothing over 50 pounds; no boxes or bundles, etc. bigger than three feet by five feet and no boxes or bundles etc. over 50 pounds. . In other business, the council voted to appoint Ron Bracy to the Nashville Planning Commission, and re­ appointed Bob Harvey as cemetery board Chairman. Hughes also noted Bernice Frith has resigned as cemetery board secretarty-treasurer, and that the council will advertise the position for the next two weeks. The annual Mayor Ex­ change with Breckenridge will be held next month. Nasvhille officials plan to visit Breckendridge May 18,, while Breckenridge authorities will travel to Nashville May 20. The agenda for that day has not yet been finalized, Nashville Village Clerk Pam Godbey said. The council thanked Smokey Alldaffer for trees donated to the village for plan­ ting in Central Park and Lloyd Priddy for basketball equipment. Honored Citizen Ava Kroger, aided here by her grandsons, Randy and Doug Rodriguez, thanked the festival corporation for the distinction. Although she resides at a foster care home, in Sunfield, the Ver­ montville native said her heart and her home will always be in Vermontville. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 28, 1987 — Page 2 Girl escapes serious injury in surrey accident at festival by Shelly Sulser A horse and buggy accident at the rear of Saturday’s Syrup Festival parade could have resulted in tragedy had it not been for the quick thinking of the surrey riders, officials said. Parade Chairman Sally Martin said two mares hitched to a surrey owned by Richard Marsh of Shaytown Road became spooked and darted from the area of Ionia Road where parade participants were lining up.

Nashville. Tuesday, April 28. 1987 — Page 4 Memories of the pas by Susan Hinckley IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIItlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Nashville's "Civic Sugar Bush started 45 years ago With its sister city, Ver­ montville, recently celebrating its 47th annual Maple Syrup Festival, Nashville can look back with pride on a community syrupmaking project of nearly as many years duration. This Ts past February marked the 45th anniversary of that novel [“civic sugar bush” which drew media attention from throughout the state. In today’s column, we look April 20, 20, 1944, 1944, at an April Nashville News story which details the first three years of the project, and traces its origin to a 1918 editorial by longtime News editor­ publisher Len W. Feighner. Next week, we will see what newspapers in Grand Rapids, Lansing and Detroit had to say in 1942 about Nashville’s civic syrup endeavor. As we now know, the pro­ ject has been a continuing suc­ cess story, raising literally thousands dollars mouunsity bsenof oefit o ovesr for tohe comcfoou-r ing that the hundreds ofmaple trees in the village be tapped and the sap turned into precious sweetening. Somehow the idea failed to materialize that spring and by another season the war had ended. “The years slipped by. Mr. Feighner sold the newspaper in 1928, after more than 40 years at its helm, but he con­ tinued to make Nashville his home and his first and foremost concern. Came the year 1942 and America was again at war. Sugar rationing was again in force and Len Feighner, past 80, but still Nashville's Number One booster, again wrote a ‘piece for the paper. ’ “Early in January, 1942, his article appeared in The News, suggesting that the maples in Nashville be tapped as a community enterprise. When the sap began to run that spring the idea had become a reality. The story of the organization of the project and one-half decades of its existence. and of its three consecutive years of successful operation is a story ofunselfish effort on the part of many people. “From the beginning, the project has been sponsored by the Nashville Development Association, a non-profit organization, headed by former village president Earl D. Olmstead. The Development Association came into being four years ago thru the “Nashville’s community maple syrup project, now suc­ cessfully thru its third year, is one of Len Feighner’s dreams that came true. “Back in 1918 when sugar was scarce and expensive, Mr. Feighner, then editor and publisher of the Nashville News, wrote an editorial urg- Three men largely responsible for starting the now famous Nashville community maple syrup project were (from left) Earl D. Olmstead, Len W. Feighner, and John Hamp, who is seen counting the proceeds in this Grand Rapids Press news photo which accompanied a 1944 Nashville News article about the successful endeavor. In that story, editor-publisher Donald F. Hinderliter detailed the first three seasons, pointing to his predecessor Feighner as originator of the idea, and fagging John Hamp as the "spark plug" in the implemen­tation of the project. In the past 45 years, the annual "civic sugar bush" has earned literally thousands of dollars for Nashville organizations and community programs. effort of Mr. Olmstead and others who were determined to have a bank in Nashville. “The Association bought the local bank building and in­ duced the Central National Bank ofBattle Creek to open a branch office here. Today the Development Association still owns the building, which it leases to Central National, and by means of membership dues has been able to improve the building and make several extra payments on the in­ debtedness. The Association is dedicated to promote and encourage anything of benefit to the community and the maple syrup project fell naturally into such a classification. “President Olmstead ap­ pointed a Maple Syrup com­ mittee headed by Supervisor J. Mearle Scott and with John Hamp as secretary and treasurer. Mr. Hamp, agricultural teacher in the Nshville-Kellogg High School, has been the spark plug ofthe project all the way. “There were plenty of headaches that first season. The task was started without funds or equipment. Spiles and buckets were loaned by Aubrey Murray, George Marshall, Ralph DeVine, Elmer Gillett and Mr. Scott. Otto Lass loaned an evaporator and Mr. Olmstead arranged to set it up in the old creamery building, now the Standard Stamping company’s plant.” (In 1987 terms, this is the building located on the south side of Sherman Street, star­ ting at the Cleveland Street in­ tersection.)” Menno Wenger also furnished equipment and he and Aubrey Murray did the boiling. “About $250 profit was realized that first season and $200 of it was turned over to the Youth Council and spent for a fine ‘jungle gym,’ which now stands on the school playground and is still the most popular piece of play equipment there. “The second year the Maple Syrup committee pur­ chased about $450 worth of equipment, the Development Association supplying the credit. Included was a 3 x 8 ft. evaporator, also 670 buckets, 1,000 spiles and a large col­ lecting tank. With permission ofthe village council, the new evaporator was set up in the old pumping station, just north ofthe river bridge.” (In 1987, this is the Community Center building.) “The 1943 season was fair­ ly good and approximately 285 gallons ofsyrup were sold at $3.25 per gallon. Profits were used to pay for the equipment purchased at the beginning of the season. The committee also voted $100 to defray the cost of sending the hometown paper to local men in the service. “The evaporator had prov- Part of the proceeds of Nashville's 1943 syrup season went for purchase of metal covers for the sap buckets that, according to The News, "undoubtedly paid for themselves within a week by keeping rain and snow out of the sap pails." Seen here are tapped maples along North Main Street, in Putnam Park. The committee also voted in 1943 to use some proceeds to defray the cost of sending the hometown paper to local servicemen in the armed forces. In those war years, some of the syrup also was set aside to make maple sugar candy for the servicemen's Christmas boxes which were sent out under direction of the Nashville Lions Club.

THORNAPPLE LAKE- The last thing you need now is a problem with your renter’s insurance. Renting fits a mobile America’s style. When you rent, you may have attractive surroundings, tended grounds and on-call maintenance. And you have the freedom to move as your heart or your job takes you—without all the hassles of selling a house. Although you have all these convenient luxuries, you also have many of the same liability and personal property risks as a homeowner. That’s why Auto-Owners Apartment Dwellers Insurance protects the contents of your apartment from loss due to theft, vandalism, fire, water, wind and other losses. It protects you and your family if someone else is injured in an apartment accident. And if something should happen to your apartment, Auto-Owners pays for your living quarters until you can return to your own apartment. Just ask your “no problem” Auto-Owners agent about Apartment Dwellers Insurance. It’s a good way to insure peace-of-mind.

Presenting the award this year to the Hartwells was attorney Christopher Anderson, who said the Hartwells have helped the community as a whole by contributing their time and talents to the raising of children who might otherwise have become a problem to society. The award was presented during Kim Sigler Day ceremonies. The Hartwells were also honored at a dinner Saturday night at the Hastings Country Club. The award is the second honor the Hartwells have received for their work as foster parents.

It reads “I ex­ pect to pass this way but once. Any good, therefore, that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now.

' ‘Daily newspapers thruout the state have helped in publicizing the venture and ordersfor syrup have poured in from at least halfa dozen states." This year, Nashville marked the 45th anniversary of that novel experiment which over the years has raised literally thousands ofdollarsfor local organizations and community programs, and which is still going strong, thanks to dozens ofdedicated volunteers. "Every gallon of the delicious golden syrup that has gone out ofNashville has served to advertise Our Town," concluded the late News editor-publisher Donald F. Hinderliter in his 1944 story. Memories of the past by Susan Hinckley ...................................mi........................................ between Charlotte and Hastings. “The lads and lasses of the town are working ‘like sixty,’ in a community way, producing maple syrup, the proceeds of which are to go for making the best playgrounds possible for a place the size of Nashville. “The sap and the syrup and the contributory disposition of the adults to the enterprise are all sweet to be remembered, but the point about the whole matter that gives deep and lasting satisfaction is that the boys and girls of Nashville have gone ahead and are doing something for themselves without waiting the aid or consent of Washington... “The folks who are to be benefited are not asking a cent of the taxpayers... “A few adults, all practical men of experience, and the youths, doing with what they have to do with, are making maple syrup in the most approved manner and producing a goodly supply. The young cooperators are being careful not to infringe on the market of established sugar-makers. “The trees are what may be termed the community trees of Nashville. A sufficient number of splies for tapping was lent by men well dispositioned toward the project. The flour mill man lent an evaporator and the president of the village found a place to shelter it and set it up. “Eighty-gallon tanks, such as those used for watering stock, have been put on trailers behind available automobiles and so the tenders of the sap pails are able to empty their catch quickly and the whole batch carted off to the evaporators. “It is estimated that something like eight thousand gallons of sap will be gathered with two hundred gallons of syrup resulting. The project thus far has not cost more than $25. The effort being made is expected to result in $500. This sum will not pay for the playground as projected, the cost of it being estimated at around $800, but another spr­ ing is coming... “The young workers on the project are working long hours, and doubtless they find themselves plenty tired at times, but glory be! they have not asked the United States congress for a single cent. Such a disposition means a future for America.” From the Press: Grand Rapids “Nashville - Children here are busy earning for themselves recreational facilities for summer by harvesting a crop of maple syrup from several hundred shade trees that line all streets of this Barry County village. “By working long hours after school the youngsters see success far ahead of the an­ ticipated return in the first season of a communitywide project by which the recrea­ tion program in Riverside park will be financed next summer. “Back in 1917 Len W. Feighner, local newspaper broker, saw the possibilities of a community sugar bush within the village limits. Nothing came ofthe proposal, however. This year Feighner again offered his plan and John Hamp, agricultural teacher in the high school, became interested.” (The writer then detailed role of the Nashville Develop­ ment Association and various individuals whom we listed in last week's Memories column for their part in launching the Continued on next page— "Eighty-gallon tanks, such as those used for water­ ing stock, have been put on trailers behind avail­ able automobiles," explained the Lansing State Jour­ nal, "so tenders of the sap pails are able to empty their catch quickly and cart the whole batch off to the evaporator."

Gail Lykins and his twin sons, Sherman and Charles, installed the evaporator. “A week ago the project got under way when [ Mearle] Scott went out with a squad of high school and grade school boys and assisted them in placing spiles in the trees.. Since then Hamp and some 50 or more boys - and some girls, too - have worked almost day and night on the job. In addition to the financial return, Hamp sees in the project much education and businesss training for the pupils. “Using a couple 80-gallon tanks such as are used on a farm for the watering of stock, the boys have traveled about the village daily tending the sap buckets. Sometimesthis part of the job has taken them well into the night, but they haven’t shirked a bit, Hamp reports... “There have been many more jobs than originally an­ticipated. Leaking pails have had to be repaired, and the boys have done that. More given urging folks to continue patronizing the same farmers who have served them in other years. “But there has been no shortage of buyers. Most of the syrup has been sold outside this community in Battle Creek, Grand Rapids, Lans­ ing and other cities and orders have been coming in daily. When the last bucket of sap is poured into the evaporator it is believed the syrup will have been sold if orders continue to come in at the rate they have to date... “With the current price of syrup at $2.50 a gallon, it was figured that the gross return would be somewhere around $500, but Hamp says that figure is not too high and that the sales might be ever greater, with Menno Wenger and Aubrey Murray, a couple of veterans in the maple syrup industry, running the evaporator for the association. “There probably are 150 to 200 trees in town that haven’t been tapped this year and weheenn taapnpoethert sseasyoenarroanlls work than was believed around it is possible the pronecessary in installing the ject will be expanded, Hamp evaporator was found, such as stated. carpenterjobs and wiring, and “About $800 is needed to the boys and local men have finance the program planned done that.

Tuesday Moy 5. 1987 — Page 6 Board candidate enjoys challenges A man who likes challenges is one of seven candidates for two scats on the Maple Valley Board of Education in the June 8 election. “People that have been on the board say it’s a thankless job. I'm curious to see why; if the people make it that way or that’s just the way it is.’’ said Michael P. Meade. “I like a challenge like that now and then.” Meade. 31, is the son of board member Kenneth Meade. Sr. who is seeking reelection to his term. Mike Meade is a 1974 graduate of Maple Valley High School and has worked at Oldsmobile in Lansing for 11 years. He and his wife. Dawn, have one child, Micheal Meade, Jr. One of his concerns for the district is the need for addi­ tional educational programs, he said. “They've been lacking in programs for years and years, like computer programs. We’re just now catching up when other schools have been years ahead of us,” Meade said. He also feels more em­ phasis is needed in the area of agricultural education due to the number of farmers in the district and students who go on to farm. According to Meade, the district has strayed from con­ centrating on the students and Mike Meade their education during a recent clash between a citizens group and the board over the negative results of an evalua­ tion of Superintendent Carroll Wolff. “Nothing’s been said about the students or the educational part of it,” he said, but added, “I’m all for the evaluation process. I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. It’s constructive criticism and he (Wolff) should be able to take it,” Meade said. “Ifyou can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.” The Concerned Citizens for Responsible School Board Ac- Your new, updated look is as close as our salon!

One member of that group has launched a recall drive against board members David Hawkins. Dale Ossenheimer and Loren Lehman as a result of alleged improper pro­ cedure. But according to Meade, the group served no purpose. “I didn’t feel they were go­ ing in the direction that was worthwhile. I don’t feel they accomplished anything except to slow down the whole pro­ cess,” he said. “He’s (Wolff) been there 24 years. Where have they been the past 23? In my opinion, the recall is going to go nowhere anyway.” Meade agrees the board may have errored in following policy, but “everybody makes mistakes. They never said anything about policy before this evaluation thing came up,” he said. Because he is “old enough to vote and old enough to go to war for my country,” Meade feels he is qualified to serve as a member of the Maple Valley Board of Education. “I guess I’m as qualified as a lot of people,” he said. Meade became interested in school functions when he began attending the board meetings during the dispute between the board and citizens, he said. “The more I went, the more interested I became,” Meade noted. “I’ve always been kind of interested. It af­ fected me for a long time because I went to school there.” If elected, Meade said he would vote the way he felt the taxpayers would want him to. “I’m not going to sit back and say ‘yeah, go ahead’ without questioning it.” He added he does not belong to any groups or organizations that might cause tim to become biased on any ssues. “Ifelected, I would take the facts first and go by that,” he said. As- a board member, Meade’s father, Ken, also tends to ask questions when issues arise, he said. “There have mostly been fanners and local business people on the board but now we’ve got Mrs. Pino who was and educator and my father, he ran large corporations and they both ask questions. I don’t think they’ve had that on a lot of the past boards,” Meade noted. Meade feels money could be saved in the district if preventative maintenance pro­ grams were implemented. “If they had taken preven­ tative measures over the past 10 years, the-roofs could have been fixed for a lot less money,” Meade said. Millage passed last June will help to pay the nearly $250,000 budgeted for repairs to roofs at all four district buildings. Although Meade is a Maple Valley graduate, he feels he gained the largest share of his education at home. “The greatest educators I've known are my grandad and my dad,” he said. Meade does not feel it would be a conflict of interest if he and his father were to be elected to serve on the board together for the next four years becuase both have their own opinions. Gardners to celebrate 50th local Kenneth and Theda Gardner of Nashville will cele­ brate their 50th wedding anniversary at an open house from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, May 17, at the Maple Grove Township Hall, Nashville south village limits. The Gardners ask that there be no gifts. The Gardners were married May 19, 1937 by the Rev. Willetts at the Willetts residence near Nashville. Mr. Gardner farmed for 47 years, retiring in 1984 from where they resided on the same farm for 41 years in Maple Grove Township. They now live in the Village of Nashville. The Gardners have one son, Duane, and one daughter, Loretta Pixley, who reside in the Nashville area. They have six grandchildren and seven great­ grandchildren. 0 riliiiiiiiiiiiii 4414 lij-s"' Uste® Ifie®6 TTnrnTnnnTnnnnnnTniiTnTTnnT Vermontville news jink lliniimniimiKliiiiiiiiiLLLimiiiiimfimimiiiiimiiimiiiiiiii Ob® The Vermontville Women’s Club is sponsoring a bus trip to the Holland Tulip Festival Thursday, May 14.

As the 40 children made their way towards the Vermontville village park, their excitement grew. There were eggs all over the place (except in the mud. The Easter Bunny doesn’t like mud). The children began the race to find their special egg. They then received some Easter candy and a prize. Kites, books, balls, chocolate bunnies and stuffied animals were just some of the prizes given out. Becki Conroy and Jared Carpenter received the $2 eggs and Jonathon Kenyon was the big Easter basket winner. The event was organized by Vermontville Cadet and Senior Girl Scouts and presented through the generous donations of the following Vermontvill e businesses: Ken’s Standard, Maple Leaf Inn, Neil’s Restaurant, Vermontville Hardware, Nancy’s Beauty Shop, Trowbridge Sales and Service, Stanton’s Realty and Auctioneers, Maple Valley Enterprises, and the Cadet Girl Scouts and Senior Girl Scouts.

Hypnosis seminars to help you lose weight, stop smoking Maple Valley Community Education is sponsoring a stop smoking seminar on Tuesday, May 12 at 6 p.m. and a weight control seminar the same day, starting at 8 :30 p.m. The programs will be held at Maple Valley High School, 11090 Nashville Highway. Registration is being taken by Maple Valley Community Education at <517) 852-9275. Self Psych Clinical Hypnotist David Rowe will conduct the seminars, which are being of­ fered this semester by 40 com­ munity education programs. “No smoker really wants to quit,” Rowe says. “Your conscious mind knows you SHOULD quit, but the sub­ conscious mind really doesn’t care. This battle between the two parts of the mind is also what prevents overweight people from sticking to their diets. They KNOW what they An addition to the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School Honor Roll should include 12th grade: Kim Smith. should eat: they just don’t feel like doing it..” Rowe’s hypnosis is designed to get your subconscious mind to cooperate with your conscious mind’s desire for a habit change, so your feelings and desires will be in harmony. “Once you feel like doing what you already want to do, success is inevitable,” Rowe says. Seminar participants will be hypnotized four times during the two-hour sessions and receive a cassette tape for reinforcement of the hypnotic suggestions at home. The tape, which has subliminal suggestions, features con­ scious conditioning on one side for listening while doing other activites and hypnotic programming for listening while relaxing. The same seminars have been offered by American Lung affiliates in 74 cities in 11 states, the Texas Public Health Association in 15 cities, the National Kidney Foundation of Louisiana in seven cities, and community education programs in 92 Michigan cities.

Main Street. “All they (the council) did was illegally ammend their ordinance. They say it’s retroactive and there is no grandfather clause.” Police Sgt. Gene Koetje said the village was not re­ quired to include a grand­ father clause when it adopted the new junk car ordinance Oct. 9, 1986. “If you throw away all the whereases and wherefores and so forth, what it comes down to is, does the village have the right to move junk cars? We feel we do,” he said. In a letter to the village from Green’s attorney, Jim Witzel of the Witzel-Gan law firm in Lansing, he states he plans to contest the ordinance claiming it is unconstitutional. Village President John Hughes said the council was advised by its attorney, Scott Smith of Clarey-Nance and Hoffius of Grand Rapids, that there should be no exclusions in its junk car ordinance. “So we wrote a new or­ dinance and adopted it in Oc­ tober of 1986,” Hughes said. The ordinance states in- Maple Valley 'Honors Night' set for May 19 Maple Valley will honor many of its . high school students for academic ex­ cellence, outstanding work and contributions made during the 1986-87 school year on Tuesday evening, May 19. The; program is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Scholar­ ships, recognition for service and awards for attendance, citizenship and scholastic achievement will be presented. Superintendent Carroll Wolff will be present to ex­ tend a welcome and con­ gratulations to the students and parents. Many teachers have con- tributed to the organization of the program. Ward Rooks will act at master of ceremonies. Awards will be presented by Denise Berry and Gunther Mittelstaedt. A formal reception-, under the supervision of Melanie Garlinger, will follow the "awards; Jerry Reese, Julie Swartz and secretary Judy Laurie have been instrumental in the organization of the awards ceremonies. National Honor Society members will be acting as ushers, This evening of recognition of the many talents of Maple Valley students is open to the public. operable registered motor vehicles may remain outside ofan enclosed building for on­ ly 15 days, while dismantled unlicensed vehicles must be stored in wholly enclosed structures. In addition, no dismantled vehicles can be placed or parked on any street area in the village or in any yard, the ordinance states. The ordinance states penal­ ty for violation is a fine' of $500 or not more than 90 days imprisonment or both. Green has owned the machine and engine repair business since 1945, and said the company has been at its present location, where the objectionable vehicles sit on the front lawn, since 1954. “I don’t consider themjunk cars because; everything in the front yard is for sale,” Green said. “If I was selling parts off of them, then they would be junk,” Green said he previously possessed a dealer’s license, but because he did not sell over 12 cars a year, he did not need to renew it, he said. Green faced the charge of ordinance violation April 20 in Barry County District Court, where he was given 21 days to file a motion stating why he lets the vehicles re­ main in violation. After that time, a trial will be set where punishment will be determined. “I told them there wasn’t any way possible I would give up what I had invested in those cars to make them hap­ py,” Green said. “I don’t feel I should give up my rights to buy a vehicle, fix it and sell it.” These cars on the property of Sidney Green's business, R & F Industries at 230 S. Main Street in Nashville have prompted the village to take court action for viola­ tion of the junk car ordinance. Hughes said the ordinance ordinance shortly after it was was adopted to keep the adopted “to make sure he village looking pleasant and understood what we were; do­ that the junk cars Eave no ing. There is nothing hidden place in front yards. in this matter. Everything is “I don’t think that’s a above the board.” beautification of our village,” He added when a person is said Hughes. “Some people found to be in violation of the have called it an eyesore.

Koetje said Green was “All they did was give me a given a copy ofthe ammended ticket. They didn’t discuss it with me at all,” Green said. “They won’t come and talk to you about it like you’re a human being. It’s more like ‘you’re crap and we’re it and you don’t do what we say? As far as I’m concerned, it’s none of their business. I do a little repair. I don’t have to have a license to do that. I just think things are not right.” Green said before the new ordinance was adopted, he was asked to attend' the meeting of the council where the matter was to be discuss­ ed. But when he and his mother, Fem, appeared, there was no talk about the ordinance. “This is what they try to do when .they’ve got a beef with anybody, they shove it under the table,” Green said. Students experience impact on alcohol related accidents Roof repairs underway Wbrkers from Norm Davis Roofing in Hastings replace parts of the Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School roof last week, a job paid for with millage pass­ ed by voters nearly one year ago. The plan of the district is to repair the roofs of dll four district buildings: Kellogg Elementary and Fuller Street Elementary in Nashville, Maple Valley Junior-Senior High and Maplewood Elementary in Ver­ montville. Cost for the entire three year project is over $250,000. Maple Valley students recently viewed graphic slide pictures showing injured vic­ tims of -alcohol related ac­ cidents when' the SADD chapter hosted C.A.ILE. April 29. C.A.R.E. (Cancel Alcohol Related Emergencies) State Director Karen Salow and nurse John Whalen presented the slide show which revealed individual cases and explained what happens after the acci­ dent occurs, said Maple Valley SADD Co-Advisor Jerry Reese. The C.A.R.E. program was created by Pamela Bell and Barbara Foley, two emergen­ cy room nurses from the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, after they ex­ perienced yet another hectic weekend treating fractures, lacerations, head and chest traumas, and internal injuries resulting frm drunk driving accidents. ‘■‘(The program was con­ ceived) After suffering the anquish of having to tell so­ meone’s parents of the the senseless slaughter of their son or daughter,’’ Reese said. Salow and Whalen explain­ ed that one out of three males and one but of five females will be involved in some type of alcohol related accident during their teenage years. Explanations were also presented as to what could happen to the unrestrained oc­ cupant in the driver’s seat of a motor Vehicle. One slide pic­ tured the number of nurses needed to keep an accident victim alive once in the emergency room, Reese said. During the presentation, the nurses used vivid and graphic pictures to allow the hurt and anger to be felt in a safe en­ vironment, not later because of some alcohol related acci­ dent, he noted. “The total cycle of emergency care was presented from the time of entry until release,” said Reese. “Ex­ planation of immediate care, grief room, rehabilitation and surgery were discussed.” Following the slide presen­ tation, the nurses read “Dead at 17”, reprinted from an Ann Landers column which Reese said made all students in atten­ dance think about the hazards and consequences of drinking and driving. During the program, Reese announced plans by Students Against Driving Drunk to en­ courage a safe prom and ACCIDENT, continued page 2 �The Maple Volley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 12, 1987 — Page 2 Students experience impact of alcohol related accidents continued from page 1 graduation season, by asking all planning to attend their prom to agree not to drink and drive. If at least 50 percent would agree, their prom would be aired on a local television news station, he said. He added a raffle is be­ ing held for a trip to the prom and back in a limousine.

But how many of our readers recall that the very first branch of the Food Center was located in Nashville? “The original Food Center was opened by Roman Feldpausch in Hastings 11 years ago last November,” reported The Nashville News in a local business review published on December 28, 1944. “Three years later, in November, 1936, he opened his Nashville store in the former Appelman grocery, at the comer of Main and Washington streets.”(In 1987 this building now houses Grandma’s Greenery.) First manager of the The Hastings-based Food Center chose Nashville as the site of its first branch, which they opened here in the fall of 1936. They locatedI in what was formerly John Appelman's grocery in the Buxton Block (now Grandma s Greenery), seen at right in this drca-1927 photo. At the time the Food Center came to town, there was also a Kroger store and two other locally-owned grocery markets operating in this same area of North Main Street. Kroger left in April, 1948, citing high busi­ness taxes, bad roads into town and poor train service as the reasons tor the pull-out. Nashville Food Center was William Thomas, who was related by marriage to the Feldpausch family.

NASHVILLE This nearly 50-year-old Food Center ad appeared in The Nashville News on July 15, 1937. It listed prices of that Depression-era day, and now offers a compari­ son for today s shoppers reflecting on how the cost of living has increased over the past half-century. Shop­ ping patterns also have changed. Note the late Satur“aY h°urs. That was the evening that farm families traditionally came to town for their weekly outing to shop and visit. In those days, Nashville's Main Street was a lively place on Saturday nights. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 12, 1987 — Page 5 Memories of the past continued from page 4 World hunger was foremost in the minds of Americans when the Food Center ran this message in their May 30, 1946, ad in the Nashville News: “The President’s Famine Emergency Commit­ tee asks us to conserve wheat and fat products so that 500 million people will escape starvation. We can do this easily by cutting down on waste, and by serving MORE of the plentiful foods..... ” The food Center continued to serve the Nashville com­ munity for a couple more years after that message ap­ peared. Feldpausch manage­ ment formally announced the discontinuance of their Nashville store in The News on November 25, 1948. “After the close ofbusiness Saturday, the stock and fix­ tures will be moved to Hastings, where the company soon will open a mammoth Deluxe Super Market just south of their present store on State Street,” noted a front­ page story on the closing. Inside the paper, in a large ad on Page Two, the Food Center announced the closing of its Nashville branch, in a message signed by Roman C. Feldpausch, president and general manager: “As our new Food Center Deluxe Super Market building in Hastings nears its completion, we close our Nashville Store, so that we may devote our complete attention to the operation of what we believe will be the most outstanding Food Market in this part ofthe country. “We have traveled thousands of miles, and have visited hundreds of the na­ tion's most outstanding stores, gathering new ideas and infor­ mation on modern food store merchandising, so that we may offer the food buyers of this area the type of food ser­ vice to be found only in the newest, most modern food markets throughout the country. “We wish to take this op­ portunity to thank you - one and all - for your patronage and good will during the years we have served you here in Nashville.

They have one N . , 13, a seventh child, Cabe, grader at Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School. Allen currently serves as Maple Grove trustee on the t oard, is Township Board, is a a member of the Barry County Space Allocation Committee and is chairman of the Castleton, Maple Grove, Nashville Transfer Recycling Board. Allen said during his three The last thing you need now is a problem paying for more car insurance. months as a member of the board-appointed Citizens Advisory Committee, “it became apparent to me that we all need to be involved and this way I can continue to contribute to the system.” As the owner and president of Lake/Allen Advertising/Design in Battle Creek, “I understand what is ■expected from employees employees and employers. I understand what attitudes they need to have. We need to make the student valuable in the economic system. Many graduate from high school and don’t have those valuable skills. I would like to see our school system provide these skills,” he said. “We are just wasting our money and time ifwe just pass them through and they don’t understand the needs of business. Some will need to be a part of government as board members and so on and ifthey don’t know the basic skills, they will not be as equipped as they need to be.” Allen explained he is basically in favor of stressing the “old skills” such as math, science and reading, which he said should never take a back seat to the curriculum. He added he would like to see more students go on to college and take advantage of scholarships. “The more education they have, the more able they will be to contribute in their lives to the community, to society and so on in the future,” he said. In regard to the need for funding for athletics at Maple Valley, Allen feels extra cur­ ricular academic clubs are equally important and should be funded by the school system. Such clubs include A family can have many drivers. And many drivers can mean many cars. Monte Allen science, art and theater groups. “If they’re going to support athletics, they need to provide extra curricular academic pro­ grams and encourage equal enthusiasm,” Allen said. “Maybe it will make them (students) more excited about their daily lessons and provide them with a better set of credentials when they go out into the world.” One thing Allen is pleased with in the Maple Valley Schools is the early age at which computer instruction begins. “I’m concerned that the education of the students in the Maple Valley school system continues on a pro­ gressive note rather than be­ ing diluted by controversial items,” Allen said, referring to the recent dispute over the board’s evaluation of Superintendent Carroll Wolff. Allen said he understands that controversy is bound to arise in any publicly elected office. •PROJECT* There may be a problem with finding a full gas tank or the right keys.

I have finally become a successful dieter! Thanks to Diet Center. Until now, every diet I have tried, I have failed. The staff at Diet Center are very friendly and helpful. Their concern for you as an individual helped me to achieve my goal. I really liked to meet with them on a one-to-one basis. I knew they cared about my problems and how to help me get thru some difficult areas. Such as eating out, and how to handle particular events. Those times when my weight seemed to come to a stand still, they encouraged me every time I saw them. You can do it! I’ll see less of you tomorrow! Before I committed myself to Diet Center's program, I was really getting down on myself, I felt I had no self-control anymore. The Diet plan is easy to follow and you are not hungry. Thanks to Flex Fab where I am employed. They encouraged their employees to join Diet Center, so some of us decided to do it. After weeks I am proud to say I have achieved my goal and feel great mentally and physically!! Again, I say Thank You, Diet Center.

(Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) Concerns continue over lack of class space at Maple Valley by Shelly Sulser The problem with a lack of space at Fuller Street and Kellogg Elementary Schools in Nashville is escalating, Principal Joy Frith told the board of education last week. “We can survive this next year but it’s the following year that we’re not going to have any classroom space,” Frith said. She serves as prin­ cipal for both buildings. Mayor exchange day in Vermontville brought Bloomingdale officials to the village known for its heritage and syrup festival Monday. The group toured Ver­ montville's points of interest and was given a key to the village. Here, the key is given to Bloomingdale Village President Dick Dickerson, center left, by Vermont­ ville President Beverly Sue Villanueva. Also pictured are, left to right, Linda Ramey, Sharon and Harold Stewart, Lana Oster, Maxine Dickerson, Frank Baker, Steve Dickerson, Leila Dickerson, Alex Villanueva, Julia Murray, Jim Murray and Roger Montgomery. (Maple Valley News photo by Jerry Johnson) Recent testing of 1987-88 year kindergarten students revealed a surge in the number of youngsters atten­ ding kindergarten next year, Frith said. In all, 97 tested to enter kindergarten at Fuller School forcing Frith to main­ tain four classrooms of regular kindergarten rather than the present three next year. In addition, a developmental kindergarten class will be formed at Fuller, posing the need for five kindergarten classrooms. In order to contain the students, the board has agreed to move one class of fourth grade to Kellogg Elementary School which normally houses only fifth and sixth grade students. As a result, there will be one class of fourth, two classes of fifth and three classes of sixth grade af Kellogg next year. “This is absolutely the tightest we can stretch ourselves.” Frith said. “The following year, we are going to be in very tough shape.” Frith said presently the elementary school counselor at Fuller uses a storage room to meet with students, while Kellogg reading and math specialists have to use the library in the mornings. “We need space desperate­ ly,” Frith s^id. “We use every bit of space we have to its fullest potential.” Frith said the problem is so serjous, she must abandon her office at times when in­ dividualized student testing takes place. Also at Fuller, two special education classes and one fourth grade class meet in por­ table classrooms, she said. . Principal Dave Doozan of Maplewood Elementary School in Vermontville said the problem is not quite as serious at his building. “Maplewood will be okay next year, we’ll survive as usual,” he said, noting there will be 29 students in each sixth grade class. Frith expects Fuller to be overcrowded for the next three years unless a solution is found. “I think that’s a decision the board will have to make,” she said. The board said it plans to reactivate the buildings and grounds subcommittee of the Citizens Advisory Committee to study the problem and make recommendations to the board. M.V. PTO to hold “Meet the Candidates” Night The Nashville and Ver­ montville Parent-Teacher Organizations are combining their efforts to hold a “Meet the Candidates Night” June 1, when the seven candidates for the Maple Valley Board of Education will answer ques­ tions of the public. “We thought this would be good to promote communitca­ tions, said Nashville Elementary PTO President Donna Garvey. “There needs to be more open communica­ tion between the board and the community and with the con­ flict that’s been going on, peo­ ple need to know where the candidates stand on issues and what they feel is important.” CANDIDATES, continued page 2 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 19, 1987 — Page 2 Maple Valley students score high on Michigan Assessment program A number of Maple Valley fourth, seventh and tenth grade students were given certificates for their accomplishments on the Michigan Education Assess­ ment Program test taken recently.

LITCHFIELD �•The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 19, 1987 — Page 3 Special meeting held to decide sports aid by Shelly Sulser A special meeting was scheduled for last night (May 18) by the Maple Valley Board of Education to decide whether it would pick up the cost for coaches’ salaries and sports-related transporation in the fall, 1987 sports season. A request had been made at the May 11 board meeting by the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters, but a misunderstan­ ding of procedure prompted the board to hold the decision until a later date. With board Presisdent David Hawkins and trustee Dale Ossenheimer absent, members Paula Cole,, Ken Meade, Loren Lehman, Bea Pino and Ron Tobias cast in­ itially a tie vote on May 11, with Lehman not voting. At that time, vice-president Lehman, who ran the meeting, announced the pro­ posal was defeated. But later in the meeting, Lehman noted that he did not hear the “yes” votes and thought the motion was defeated. As a result, a second vote was cast with Cole, Lehman and Tobias voting in favor of spending $15,962.84 to aid fall sports arid Meade and Pino voting against the proposal. Superintendent Carroll Wolff was not sure the May 11 tally would serve to pass the motion because there were not four votes cast in favor. (The results of last night’s meeting were not available at press time.) The boosters requested the financial aid by the board because “we have no other way of raising the money for fall sports,” President Vernon Reid said. Tobias said he felt the board should aid the boosters if delinquent tax money ex­ pected from the County is paid. But Pino and citizen Monte Allen expressed their desire to see the board budget funds for extra curricular academic pro­ grams as well. “There ought to be equal opportunity for people who are academically minded and not athletically inclined,” Allen said. “I don’t think you can divide the two,” said Cur­ riculum Coordinator Dr. Vic Schug, “with academics here and sports over here. It all blends in together. They both contribute to developing good citizens. I would hope the next vote taken is in support of athletics.” After additional discussion / | about the academic programs, Junior-Senior High School Principal Larry Lenz pointed out that for the past six years, the board has concentrated on academics. “This district’s priority has been on academics and it has not found fit to put one red cent toward athletics,” he said. “These people are ask­ ing for $15,000. We’re talk­ ing about the development of our kids. I don’t know if you realize the affect that has.” He went on to note that all surrounding school districts have athletics supported by the school board except Maple Valley. “I think we .should take some time and think about kids,” Lenz said. In other business May 11, the board approved the following coaches for fall and winter sports: head varsity football Guenther Mittelstaedt; assistant varsity football coach — Gary St. Onge; assistant jr. varsity football — John Brandenburg; head varsity girls basketball — Jerry Reese; junior varsity girls basketball — Todd Gonser; seventh grade girls basketball Pat Williams; varsity golf — Mike Booher; Head varsity boys basket­ ball — Jerry Reese; junior varsity boys basketball — John Brandenburg; freshman boys basketball Gordon Swinson; eighth grade boys basketball Mike Booher; seventh grade boys basketball — Gary St. Onge; wrestling head varsity — Chris Ricketts; wrestling assistant — Glenn Gurd and volleyball head var- •PROJECT* Graduation DISCOUNT CARD Redeemable at ... ’’The Mirrors image" ~X|J6 hillols nuaas.; 111 N.

Wings had to be added to the original board during the war to accommodate names of all the local men and women serving in the armed forces. It was removed from Central Park a number of years ago, and its present whereabouts is now obscure. General Pershing's 1918 Armistice Day message to U.S. troops in France was recalled by a local World War I veteran at Nashville's 1944 Memorial Day service. Ray I. Thompson spoke at a time when the nation was engaged in a second world war that, he said, "will bring new meaning for Memorial Day to millions of American homes." This unidentified photo of World War I troops was taken in France, according to an inscription on the back which also includes the name,, Hugh Reynolds.

In the issue of June 6, 1885, The News noted: ‘ ‘Our comet band received many com­ pliments on theirfine playing at Vermontville on Decoration Day. Turnout at Nashville’s earliest Memorial Day events was excellent, and the gather­ ing soon became an annual village tradition. The Jefford’s Post, Grand Army of the Republic, normally had charge of the parade and ceremonies, and the local of many. All over the weekend people were coming and going on annual visits to Lakeview. “There was no regular Memorial day program here. There were Sunday sermons and the World War veterans came from Hastings Sunday afternoon in a circle of visits to Barry County cemeteries to decorate the graves and carry out a memorial service in each. Here the grave of Lieut. Adelbert Fowler, a dentist by profession, whose boyhood was spent in this vicinity and who was with the Pacific fleet, was selected for the service. There were 11 graves of World War veterans to be visited by the American Legionaires and the families and friends of the deceased were invited to be present. The old Vets, ofthe Civil War days and the W. R. C. (Women’s Relief Corps) have laid down this burden of public observance, once so dear to them; the ranks are thin and the years weigh heavily. But the old graves were not neglected, none the less. ““A A ball ball game game here here in in the the afternoon was the entertainment feature, and there were numerous family gatherings.

Scout Lyle Belson gave the ‘Gettysburg Address,’ and the band played ‘Red, White and Blue March,’ and Mr. Ackett called on Ray I. Thompson for a brief address. “Recalling the Armistice message of Gen.

We’re all going to be gone someday and we’ll need peo­ ple who can preserve what we’ve learned.” The day had also been dub­ bed grandparents day, and students in each grade had a chance to visit the 12 different stations, which included can­ dle making, irong, spinning wool and wood shaving. Also on hand was local past century enthusiast Hank Felder, Jr. with his military tent and tee pee, accompanied by hisbrother-in-law Steve Slocum of Charlotte and father Hank Felder. “I think we are probably going to pursue this. It seems to be a real effective pro­ gram,” Pummill said. Park educational coor­ dinator Terry Trupiano said that because of the interest in the program, the park will continue to visit schools in the Barry County area. Maplewood Principal Dave Doozan said approximatley 250 grandparents attended the special day, including some from Detroit and Traverse City. “I’m really thrilled with it,’.’ said Doozan. “It gives the grandparents and the kids a chance to talk to each other rather than just sitting in a classroom and observing. And this is something they can go home and discuss.” Maplewood teacher Liz King gets a lesson -in shooting a muzzeloader from Hank Felder, Sr., as students watch.

House Bill 4007 would require hospitals and physicians to report babies born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) or drug dependency to the Depart­ ment of Social Services so that an abuse or neglect investiga­ tion can be performed. Although state law requires physicians and other professionals to report suspected cases of child abuse, existing law contains no provision for reporting fetal addiction. PATIENTS WOULD HAVE TO BE SCREENED BEFORE BEING PLACED IN NURSING HOMES under legislation recently introduced in the House. House Bill 4591 would require pre-admission screening by a panel of experts to determine ifthe patient could be permitted to continue living at home or in some other less restrictive environment. The bill goes to the House Committee on Public Health for consideration. MICHIGAN'S STATE MOTTO WILL BE CHANGED if a bill that waS passed by the House eventually becomes law. The current state motto is: “si quaeris peninsulam amonenam circumspice” or in other words, “if you seek a pleasant penin­ sula, look around you.” House Bill 4105 will revise the motto to emphasize the fact that Michigan is comprised of two penin­ sulas and therefore would read: “If you seek pleasant penin­ sulas, look around you.” �The Maple Valley Newt.

According to Allen Krizek. Eaton County Extension Director, most every tomato gardener can improve their harvest if they follow these KCC tips developed by Michigan State University Horticultural ist. Since tomatoes are very tender, they should not be planted until the danger of frost is over, normally May 20.

These protective devices act as a miniature greenhouse and limit the possibility of cold injury. To insure a continuous harvest, select both an early and main season variety. The varieties recommended by Michigan State University have performed well under a number ofenvironmental con­ ditions and at a number of research sites across the state. They are chosen for their high quality, dependability, resistance to disease, and adaptability. You will notice, some ofthe most popular varieties that the home gardener often asks for are not included in the list. The newer recommended varieties outperform the older ones just as a newer automobile is better than the old models. Early varieties-New Yorker (65)*; Springset (67); Small Fry (cherry) (68); Heinz 2653 (paste) (68).

Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 115 - No. 44 — Tuesday, May 26, 1987 MV Board votes to aid athletic boosters in fall *87 season by Shelly Sulser The Maple Valley Board of Education voted Monday to spend nearly $16,000 to help fund fall sports for the 1987-88 school year. The $15,962.84 expen­ diture was recommended by Superintendent Carroll Wolff and requested by“the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters. The money will be used to pay coaches' salaries and transportation costs. The re­ mainder of the fall sports ex­ penses will be covered by the athletic boosters. Board members Ronald Tobias, Loren Lehman, Paula Cole and David Hawkins cast Nashville boy wins Carl's bike Joey Dunham of Nashville was named the winner of a 12-speed racing bike from Carl's Supermarket last week after a Pepsi promotion drawing. Pictured with Dunham and the bike is Carl's Supermarket employee Wayne Kerwin. (Maple Valley News photo) votes in favor of paying what the boosters say are major ex­ penses, while trutees Ken Meade and Dale Ossenheimer abstained from voting due to what they claimed was a “lack of information”. Trustee Beatrice Pino was absent. The decision was made at a special board meeting May 18 when the board cast its third vote on the matter. The first vote had been misunderstood by board vice president Loren Lehman who thought the issue had been defeated with all, votes cast against the proposal at the regular May 11 meeting. The vote was actually a tie. (Lehman did not vote). A second vote was taken that night with Lehman voting in favor along with Cole and Tobias, while Meade and Pino were against the sports fun­ ding. Absent were President Hawkins and Ossenheimer. Wolff was uncertain at that time whether the vote was valid because there had not been a quorum of votes in favor of the funding, pro­ mpting the special meeting to be called. Wolff said later that after checking, the board did in fact need four in favor of the issue to pass it. “I was very glad to see that they did approve it,” said Maple Valley Athletic Boosters President Vernon Reid. “We were very thrilled it did pass and we drank the board for it.” Reid said the boosters would not have been able to carry on the fall sports without aid from the board due to the high cost of coaches’ salaries and transportation. “We don’t have any way of getting that kind of financing because it’s so much,” Reid said. The athletic boosters at Maple Valley are'the only such organization in the area to support sports at their school 100 percent. The group was formed in 1980 when the board was forced to cut sports from its budget and make cur­ riculum cutbacks as well due to the failure of millage requests. This is the second time the boosters have gone to the) board for help in keeping the sports program alive at Maple Valley. The board approved a request last winter to pick up the outstanding bill for fall 1985-86 sports of about $16,000. “.We’ve been looking at it since last year when we had to ask for help,” Reid said. “And we realized after look­ ing at our income and the ex­ penses that the income doesn’t cover it all.” Reid explained a boosters committee had studied the problem of rising coaching fees and came up with the pro­ posal for the board. In addi­ tion to paying coaches salaries, .which amounts to over $30,000 each year, the boosters are also required to pay five percent of the retire­ ment of coaches and sports bus drivers. As a result of the board’s approval, Reid said he does not forsee the boosters having to make any similar requests in the future because the board has planned to completely fund the more than $55,000 a year program beginning in the 1988-89 school year. “Maybe then the athletic boosters can look at some of these other things,” Reid said. Those include more than $30,000 for field lights and a rubberized track. Currently, however, fall is the boosters’ most costly season due to the high price of football helmets and other equipment. The total cost of football not including coaches salaries and transportation is $4,349.85; girls’ basketball is $2,177.80; cross country is $270; and golf costs $482. General expenses for the jear include $300 for SMAA dues, $100 for printing of tickets, programs, etc., $600 for awards .such as letters, numerals, plaques and Vermontville girls dies after being struck by automobile Nashville welcomes Breckenridge officials Nashville and Breckenridge were paired for the annual Mayor Exchange Day activities last week when officials from the two towns toured their respective burgs.

In Nashville Wednesday, President John Hughes and other council members and village heads treated Breckenridge representatives to coffee and rolls at the Nashville Community Center at Putnam Park. The group later toured Maple Valley High School, the Castleton­ Maple Grove-Nashville Fire Department, Central Park, village hall, Mulberry Fore Golf Course, water and sewer plants, DPW Garage, Putnam Library and downtown businesses. A social hout was held at Hughes’ home prior to dinner at the Country Kettle Cafe where Hughes presented Clingenpeel with a key to the village. trophies for a total of $ 1,000. The cost of first aid equip­ ment amounts to $1,257.55. Reid noted major sources of .income for the boosters are the Thursday night bingo games, along with gate receipts, player fees and fundraisers. In all, nearly 400 of Maple Valley’s junior and senior high‘school students take part in athletics at Maple Valley, Reid said. Reid expressed his gratitude for the help .of the boosters who keep the program afloat by all of their volunteer ef­ forts and to the residents of the district who attend athletic events, pay their taxes to the board .and support fundraisers. “All of that helps us out,” Reid said. He added the volunteer coaches deserve a lot of credit as well . “This should be all the financial aid we’ll need,” Reid said. And after the board begins funding athletics, ‘.‘We might have to come to the assistance of the board,” he added.

To understand the circumstances that brought about that unusual situation in the spring of 1882 one must understand a bit about the background and personality of Orno Strong, founder of The Nashville News (a continuously-published forerunner of the Maple Valley News). Many times in this column we have written of Strong, who in early sources is variously described as 19 or 21 years old when he came here from Lawton, Michigan, in 1873 to establish the News. The ambitious young newspaperman visited Nashville for the first time in September, 1873, according to a 1941 News story marking the 68th year of the paper. “He had just sold his part­ nership in the Lawton Tribune and was scouting a location for a new paper,” noted the News. “A few hours in Nashville convinced him that here was a town in need of a newspaper and, as a result, on October 3, 1873, he published the first edition of The Nashville News.” Reporting on the effort being made by Strong the Hastings Banner predicted financial ruin for The News: “We trust, for the sake of the would-be publisher, the report is not true, for the investment cannot be other than a finan­ cial disaster.” Orno Strong, however, went to work with a determined cry of defiance to the Banner printed in bold type on the front page, his motto: ‘‘Progression. No Retrograding.” Instead of financial disaster, the Nashville News, 15 years later, had become a flourishing 10-page newspaper with more than 1,000 paid subscribers. Among other front page stories in that first edition, the News chronicled the start of financial panic in Wall Street and suicides of numerous bankers and investment brokers. “It must have taken courage to start such a new venture in such times,” noted the 1941 News article. “But Mr. Strong was a go-getter. In his first issue he had an advertisement from practically every business or professional name in town.” Strong began publication of the News in rented quarters - a small frame building on the west side of Main Street. There he installed a rickety old Geo. Washington hand press, a conglomeration of second-hand type and enough of the other printing necessities to get out a paper. According to a 1946 News piece, Strong published that first issue “in the face of such difficulties as: one pied form of handset type, one drunken printer who used ad copy to IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIW Memories of the past by Susan Hinckley LiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinHiniiHiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii start a fire to heat the coffee, and one delayed shipment of newsprint which arrived at the depot only an hour before presstime.” The second “roosting place” of Orno Strong, as he called it, was over Truman’s store. (In 1987 this building now houses Fuzzy’s Fun Room.) Around 1880 Strong moved the News office into the second floor of the Yates Block, which stood on the site of the present day bank. “There Publisher Strong replaced his Washington hand press with a Country Camp­ bell cylinder press, powered by a tempermental steam engine. With this modem equipment he began billing his The first News office was a small frame building on the west side of Main Street, and was lost in the villages first major fire in February, 1874. After two other moves Strong finally purchased this former primary school building and moved it in 1885 by horse power to a vacant site on Maple Street, thus establishing what was to become headquarters of The News for the next 90 years. (Now the Maple Valley News, the paper was purchased in 1975 by J-Ad Graphics of Hastings.) Len Feighner, at right in this early photo, was responsible for adding a stucco finish, more windows and a brick, rear addition to the buildina about 1910. Strong s first news quarters in Nashville contained a rickety old hand press, a conglomeration of secondhand type and enough other necessities to get out a paper. This later scene, circa-1890, shows the interior of the News office on Maple Street at the time the paper was being published by Strongs Strong's former employee and successor Len W Feighner (right), who retained control of the weekly for 40 years. In the center is Al Weber who with his brother Frank, worked for the News in that era. Each later became a succesful publishers elsewhere. Note the hanging lanterns; electricity did not come to Nashville until 1902 A few hours in Nashville convinced the ambitious young newsman from Lawton that here was a town in need of a newspaper. When Orno Strong arrived in the village in 1873, Nashville's Main Street was con­ siderably less developed than seen here some 35 years later. In his first issue of The Nashville News, Strong was able to secure advertisements from prac­ tically every business or professional name in town. His paper continued to grow and prosper despite a spurt of tough but short-lived competition nine years later. After selling out in 1888, Strong became a suc­ cessful trade journal publisher on the West Coast. business as the Nashville News Steam Printing House, ‘busiest job printers in southwestern Michigan.’” It was not long after this that competition arose which created the situation of three rival newspapers in Nashville. Strong had had his ups and downs through those early years, but had “hung on gamely and had the wholehearted support of most of the community,” noted the 1946 News story. “However, Orno made many enemies and in the spr­ ing of 1882 when Walter S. Powers, a power in the Green­ backer party, established a rival paper he was able to cut into the Strong domain quite painfully.” Powers called his paper The bugle, and he “blew long and loudly for exactly five weeks ” As soon as Editor Strong had learned that he was to have competition he had quietly arranged a strategic move, as outlined in the 1946 report; “C.N. Young, a printer employed at the News office, quit his job with a great deal of show and let it be known in every part of town that he hated Orno Strong’s very shadow and was going to start a paper of his own and run Strong out ofthe county.” Considerably later it was established that Young had started his paper on Strong’s capital and that he really was merely working for Strong, but there was no indication of such conniving at the time “Young managed to get his paper started a bit ahead of Powers’ Bugle. He called it the Nashville Olio, the word olio meaning, ofcourse, a sort ofpotpourri or hodgepodge of many ingredients. Young lamlam­ basted Strong and Powers; Powers lashed out weekly at Young and Strong, and the wily Strong sneered at both the others. With a population of only 1,200 (actually the count in the 1880 census was only 1,028), Nashville could not support three newspapers and it was merely a question of which would survive.” The sixth issue of the Bugle hit the street on June 1, 1882, carrying an announcement of considerable interest: Mr. Powers had sold the paper to J.J. and F.M. Potter, who “promptly slung every last particle of Greenbacker prin­ ciple out of the office and made the Bugle a Republican instrument.” It lasted through June and the first two weeks of July and then folded. Editor Strong reported in the News, “ ‘The Bubble’ has busted; the Bugle is dead.” He proceeded to describe Walt Powers, John and Jake Potter as “blackboards” and to marvel that they had lasted eight weeks. The Olio also suspended publication soon afterward. The News, meanwhile, continued to grow and pro­ sper. In 1885 Orno Strong bought the unused primary school building and moved it from the school ground to Maple Street where it served as headquarters for The Nashville News until the paper (by then called the Maple Valley News) was purchased in 1975 by J-Ad Graphics of Hastings. In 1888 Strong sold his paper to employee Len W. Feighner, who retained con­ trol for 40 years. Subsequent owners were A.B. McClure, Willard St. Clair Gloster, Donald F. Hinderliter, and John Boughton. It was Hinderliter who best describ­ ed the sort of early newspaper rivalries that embroiled Strong and other publisher of that era. “In those days,” wrote Hinderliter in a 1945 piece, “at least a part of a column of each issue was dedicated to lambasting one’s rivals and the Banner and the Journal kept things lively in Hastings. Editor Dennis of the Journal couldn’t keep busy -in his home town and frequently lashed out at the Nashville News. This of course delighted Editor Strong, who would be tired of picking on Continued on page 5 �Continued from page 4 The Maple Valley News, Nashville.

State St. In this era of turmoil and terror­ ism, it is becoming increasingly difficult to call it peacetime. Because of the factions which have been waging their brand of warfare on the civilized world, we live in an age of kidnapping, hi-jacking, bombing, shooting and trumped-up spy charges: with most of the victims being completely innocent of any responsibility for the conditions which supposedly caused these acts. However, it is also a time to remember those in all the formal, declared wars of our history who have given their lives so that even in these turbulent times we can still live in a land of liberty, where we may write and speak our minds and worship as we choose; and we must continue to guard these rights. Meanwhile, go to your House of Worship and thank God for them; and remember to honor those who through the years have bought them for you on the battlefield with their lives. > 852-0882 Trowbridge Service ■ AUTO SERVICE CENTER 130 S.

Additional Nitrogen not needed this year Farmers do not have to add additional nitrogen this spring to compensate for water damage from last fall’s heavy rains according to Teann Garnant, agriculture program assistant. The present recommenda­ tions assume there is little or no carry over to inorganic nitrogen from one crop year to the next. There is no question that producers have less carry over of nitrogen from 1986 than in other years, but adding extra nitrogen in 1987, is not war­ ranted. MSU recommends the same as in previous yearsSelect a realistic goal, take credit for nitrogen from legumes and manure applied to the field and then apply the nitrogen in an efficient manner. Cat workshop scheduled for June 2 The last of a series of cat workshops will be held Tues­ day, June 2 at 7:30 p.m. at the Town and Country Animal Hospital in Charlotte. AIK 4-H cat project members are invited to par­ ticipate. This is an opportunity to complete the series of shots required for the cat show at the Fair.

Wren Funeral Homes to start preplanning arrangement program The last thing you need now is a problem with expensive home insurance. Your home is a big enough investment, so you don’t need a problem affording the kind of insurance you prefer. If you’re hunting for economical home insurance... with broad coverage ... from a reputable source... consider Auto-Owners Insurance. Auto-Owners has a number of premium discountsfor homeowners which could reduce your premium costs by as much as 40 percent! So now you know.. .there’s a simple way to get.just the homeowner’s policy you want—at the price you want. See for yourself. It’s no problem with your Auto-Owners agent. Preplanning of funeral arrangements, commonly referred to as pre-arrangement, has been a service provided by Wren Funeral Homes for years. But the current interest in pre-arrangement seems to be a result of the longer lives people are living and the trend for families to move more frequently, says David Wren, president of Wren Funeral Homes. “Studies show that people are living longer. As a result of this they may have to plan their own funeral rather than rely on their family with arrangements,” say Wren. Younger families are moving from their home towns due to career changes, often retirees are changing residences to move to a dif­ ferent climate of closer to family members as well. Prearrangement allows for these individuals to plan for their funerals ahead of time so that in the event of death away from “home,” everything is taken care of. “As professionals, our funeral directors are ready to help make the funeral process easily understood,” says Wren. “We want our families to be comfortable with the funeral process. And part of this service is to make sure everyone is aware ofthe many choices available to them to ensure that the right choices are made for the individual and for the family. The new emphasis on our pre­ arrangement program is in direct response to the public’s interest in preplanning,” says Wren.

The three bill package (HB 4366-68, sponsored by State Representative Glenn Oxender, R-Sturgis) is intended to “tag the records” of miss­ ing children to help authorities locate them. The records which would be tagged are birth certificates and school records. I voted in favor of these bills. The package was recom­ mended by the House Republican PROTECT Task Force which has spent several months closely examining a variety of issues affecting children. While helping police locate runaways, the legislation would also help catch non­ custodial parents who “snatch” a child, flee to another state and try to enroll the children in school in a new state. Eventually, a parent or the child may seek a birth cer­ tificate or school records. Under the legislation, that re­ quest would alert authorities and provide a vital clue to locating the child. A similar recordkeeping re­ quirement is part of Illinois’ successful and highly regard­ ed I-SEARCH ' missing children program, which has been credited with enabling authorities to locate a number of missing children within the past year or so. Following House passage, the bill was sent to the Senate for further consideration. I voted for this legislation and hope we can quickly enact this public safety legislation. .ft $If Jll PAULA COLE, Secretary Board of Education Phone — 948-2001 ANNUAL SCHOOL ELECTION $ Maple valley carpet Care Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning TOM FRITH, owner Phone — 948-8381 RESIDENCE: 517-852-9650 ■ q 309 North Main Street Nashville NEW $O50 • SUMMER RATES............. & — OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK —< NEW MOVIES: The Color of Money • Thunder Warrior II • Heartbreak Ridge • Firewalker • Nothing in Common • Peggy Sue Got Maried • Little Shop of Horrors • Ferris Buelter’s Day Off • Legal Eagles • Soul Man • Alien Predators • Stand By Me • The Fly • Name off the Rose • Haunted Honeymoon • Armed Response • Tough Guys • Deadly Friends • Wise Guys • Top Gun • Shanghi Surprise • The Boy Who Could Fly • Radio Active Dreams • Friday the 13th VI.

The extent and severity of parasitic or infectious diseases depend soley on four major factors, explains Allen Krizek, Eaton County Exten­ sion Director. Those are: • The pathogens — bacteria, fungi and viruses -- must be alive and present. • Carriers — such as wind, rain, humans, animals or in­ sects — are needed to spread the pathogens. • Potential host plants must be susceptible to the pathogens. • Environmental conditions — such as light, temperature, soil condition and moisture — must be right for Infection to occur. Remove any ofthese factors and you remove the chance of disease development. Krizek recommends the following practices to help reduce chances of disease problems: •Good field sanitation. Plow under as much diseased plant debris as possible. If left on the soil Surface, the material will serve as an ex­ cellent source of disease­ causing organisms. By buying these diseased plants, you destroy pathogens that could be wind-borne to new plants. • Adapted varieties. Plant resistant, early maturing varieties that are adapted foi our area. • Good seed. Plant the best seed available. Use certified seed that has been chemically treated to control seed-borne and some soil-borne pathogens. This is especially important for dry beans, small grains and this year’s soybeans. _• Rotations. Avoid planting small grains in last season’s cornfields unless the fields are clean plowed. Try to avoid planting dry beans after soy­ beans, and vice versa, mainly because of the potential for white mold problems. Growers who follow these recommendations will improve their chances for a more successful cropping season, Krizek says.

Under Secretary of Agricultrual Daniel Amstutz announced today. To apply for payment, original holders must return expired certificates by May 15, 1987, to the Agricultural Stabilization and Conserva­ tion County offices where they were issued, along with a written request for their ex­ change for cash. ASCS county committees will review the re­ guests for their exchange for dash, and, upon approval, will authorize payment for expired certificates equal to the face value minus 15 percent for handling and another 4.3 per­ cent required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. The expired certificates may not be exchanged for commodities in the Commodi­ ty Credit Corporation inventory. Amstutz said the offer to pay original holders for ex­ pired certificates is being made one time only. Because the use of commodity cer­ tificates is relatively new, he said, some original holders were unaware of the impor­ tance of using the certificates before their expiration date.

Farmers should start wat­ ching their fields for early signs of alfalfa weevil and cereal leaf beetle damage. This year, because of the warm spring weather, insects became active earlier than usual according to the Michigan State University Ex­ tension entomology specialists. By examining fields early this spring, farmers can begin control measures before the insects do extensive damage. The adult alfalfa weevil has already been active for several days this spring and farmers may find alfalfa plants on which the insect has eaten small holes in the tips. Adult weevils will stay at the bases of plants and are difficult to find, but in the larval stage, they are easy to spot on the leaf surface. Growers should look for a small grub, about 1/4 inch long with a black head, a green body and a white stripe down the back. To determine if an insec­ ticide is needed to prevent fur­ ther damage from the insects, growers should examine tips for small holes in the top sur­ face. If one fourth or more of the leaftips show damage and harvest is more than a week away, farmers should spray with an approved insecticide. Several are available to con­ trol the weevil. If the harvest is at least two weeks away, growers should use either Furadan or Lorsban insec­ ticides because of increased control. If less than one fourth ofthe leaf tips are damage or if harvest is scheduled within a week, there is no need for an insecticide application. Delay­ ing the harvest will result in increase damage. When inspecting small grain plantings for cereal leaf beetle damage, growers should look for small, elongated holes in plant leaves. The adult beetle is about 1/4 inch long with a red neck and metallic blue wing covers. Eggs ofthe cereal leaf beetle are yellowish and are found on the upper leaf sur­ face. In the larval stage the cereal leafbeetle is black with a slimy covering. Beetles prefer spring planted small grains such as oats and barley to fall planted winter crops. This year, because of the earlier than usual planting of these spring crops, growers can expect to find more beetles in their oats or barley than in wheat crops. To determine if an insec­ ticide spraying is needed to control cereal leaf beetle populations, growers should carefully examine the leaves of the crop. If growers find three or more larvae and eggs on a plant, they should spray the fields to prevent further damage. Several recommend­ ed pesticides are available for cereal leaf beetle control.

Monte Allen, Jerry Brumm, John Krolik, Kenneth F. Meade, Sr., Michael P. Meade, Sr., Parmer Thomp­ son, Jr., and Charles Viele, Sr. are vying for seats cur­ rently occupied by board secretary Paula Cole and Ken Meade, Sr. Cole chose not to seek re-election. The following is a recap of individual profiles previously published in’the Maple Valley News over the past seven weeks. Monte Allen, of 7980 Clark Rd., Nashville believes in stressing the “old skills” such as reading, math and science-. “We are just wasting our money and time ifwejust pass them through and they (students) don’t understand the needs of business,” he said. “Some will need to be a part of government as board members and so on and ifthey don’t know the basic skills, they will not be as equipped as they need to be.” Allen supports aid by the board for athletics, providing the board is equally suppor­ tive of other extra curricular academic programs such as science, art and theater clubs. He is currently a trustee on the Maple Grove Township Board, is a member of the Barry County Space Allocation Committee and, is chair­ man of the Castleton, Nashville, Maple Grove Transfer Recycling Board. Allen and wife, Barbara have one child, Cabe, 13. Jerry Brumm is one oftwo men who chair the Concerned Citizens for Responsible Board Action group formed late last year in support of Superintendent Carroll Wolff. Wolff has announced plans to retire June 30, 1988. “I particularly want to be involved as much as possible in the change in the superintendent,” Brumm said. “I would rather work from the inside out than from the outside in.” Brumm is a lifelong Nashville resident, and is the owner ofNashville Hardware. He is a former board member, and was the first to file a nominating petition for the June 8, 1987 election. board “that sets policy rather “My past experience is a than governs by rule” and a definite advantage,” he said. board that “trusts the ad­ He feels the purpose of the ministration it has hired.” board is no different now then “The job of the board is to when he served 10 years ago. efficiently and economically Brumm would like to see a educate our kids to the best of their ability,” Brumm said. He and his wife, Sharon, have three children. Bob, Cin­ dy and Adam. John Krolik is an advocate SCHOOL BOARD, continued p 3 Dinner planned Friday to benefit Barry County area farmers by Shelly Sulser Money raised from a dinner Friday will be used to buy essentials for Barry County farmers short on finances, said organizer of the event Ann Schantz of Nashville. “The money will be distributed for living expenses such as clothes and other things for the farmers who need it,” said Schantz, master of the Maple Leaf Grange. “The county extension office knows there are people out there who need help. We just hope people will come to us and get it.” Schantz said because of the overwhelming response so far, the event will not be held at the grange as originally planned. “I’m really 'quite impress­ ed. We’ve got a lot of in­ terested people,” she said. The dinner, scheduled for June 5 from 6-8 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church in Hastings, is being made possible through a com­ bined effort of the grange, FARMERS, continued on page 2 Over 600 seek to oust board members Ossenheimer, Lehman Athletic Committee.

Hayden went on to tell the students that “High school graduation does not mean you know all you need to know to get by as a mature adult. Remember, you are a product of the many forces that have shaped you to what you are today...and my wish for you is that the shape of your future would be a masterpiece.” Also speaking to the group of 88 seniors were salutatorian Beth Starring and valedictorian Kristina Brewer.

Roush still believes Ossenheimer and Lehman should be replaced, she said. “They still are asking a lot of questions of Mr. Wolff,” she explained. “Ifthey would just listen to the suggestions Wolff tells them, they’d get a lot of their questions answered. Dale wanted Mr. Wolff to set a five year plan,” she add­ ed. “That’s kind ofhard to do for five years ahead because taxes are so fluctuating and expenses are fluctuating. Some things they are asking him to do are absolutely impossible.” Roush said she was inform­ ed by Barry County Clerk Norval Thaler early this year that 461 signatures were need­ ed on each petition in order within 60 days of the submis­ sion of the request. Boersma said a special elec­ tion to recall the two trustees could possibly be scheduled for the first week of August. She added the cost to the board for holding an election is nearly $1,000 for workers and canvassing. “I really am optimistic,” of a recall campaign Roush said. “I feel there’s a lot of people concerned with the school district and are willing to go through a recall.” for the drive to be successful. After the petitions are turn­ ed over to tite county clerk’s office June 9, officials will have 10 days to examine the legality of the forms. Those named in the recall are to be notified of the filing within one business day, deputy clerk Nancy Boersma said, and will have 72 hours to respond in 200 words or less. That response will later be printed on the election ballot. After another 10 days, the petitions are to be. sent to the township clerks for verifica­ tion of signatures which must be done within 15 days after receipt. Those signing must be registered to vote, Boersma noted. In addition, the county clerk will have 35 days after the fil­ ing ofthe petitions to request a date for a special election from the Barry County Elec­ tion Commission. The elec­ tion will then have to be held Dinner Friday to help Barry County farmers Continued from front page— Pennock Hospital employees and the Barry County Exten­ sion Service.

He said the dinner won’t raise enough money to help the farm businesses, but it will be adequate to help farm families with groceries, clothing and other living necessities. Steenwyk and Schantz strongly urge any farm families who feel they are in need of any of these types of essentials to call Schantz at 852-9560 or the Extension Of­ fice at 948-4862. Those wishing to attend the dinner can call Schantz or Sue Fawley 852-9415. Jan Reid. We’re extremely happy with the latest addition of in­ struments for the marching band, said a spokesperson . Four Mellaphones, commonly known as Bellfront horns were purchased. These in­ struments should provide sounds that themarching band has not had available until now. Using a French horn’s mouthpiece and playing like a Trumpet, they produce a rich, mellow tone similar to a French horn. Band camp, required for the high school band students, will be August 3-7.

Through publicity by posters, press notices and the activities of the railroad employees, the M.C.R.R is cooperating in the campaign being carried on by the American Railway associa­ tion to reduce the railroad crossing fatalities. “We, as-individuals, can best do our bit by crossing crossings cautiously. In an earnest effort to do their part in lessening the danger to automobiles and others, trains have been ordered to pass through Nashville at a speed not to exceed 20 miles per hour. Cooperation of local organizations, such as schools, churches, Chamber of Commerce and Com­ munity Club, is strongly urged by the railroad authorities... “Public sentiment will be one of the strongest factors in correcting the disregard for the law and their safety at railroad crossings by automobile drivers. We command highly the efforts of the American Railway association and the coopera­ tion of the railroad officials' of the Michigan Central in promulgating these ‘Careful Crossings’ campaigns.

Nashville may get new village garage by Shelly Sulser Sportsman’s Tavern North on M-66, turn right to Mulliken — Live Music — Western Shine Country Rock For the Month of June Fri. & Sat. 9:30 to 1:30 a.m Sun. 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m 21 and over with I.D. A new Department of Public Works garage may be built in Nashville if the coun­ cil approves a proposal to app­ ly for a low interest loan from the Farmers Home Administration. Village President John Hughes made the recommen­ dation at the regular council meeting Thursday for the buildings and grounds com­ mittee to discuss building a new garage closer to the water works department. Hughes said the village has ample space in that area to build. “The Farmers Home Ad­ ministration has money for low interest loans for municipalities to construct buildings,” Hughes said. How do you get premium homeowner’s insurance at a discount? No problem. Auto-Owners Homeowner Policy discounts do just that. There are a number of premium discounts you might qualify for, and they could reduce your costs by as much as 40 percent! Get broad homeowners coverage, from a reputable source— at the price you want. Just ask your “no problem” AutoOwners agent about homeowner’s discounts. It’s no problem with Auto-Owners. The village DPW garage is currently located on Cleveland Street and would possibly be sold, Hughes said. He added the committee would also consider the building of a garage for police vehicles behind village hall on Main Street. “I think in doing that, you centralized your operation,” Hughes said. In other business, the council: — Appointed Gloria Goodner the new secretary/treasurer of the Lakeview Cemetery Board; —Approved making a pay­ ment of $1,000 to the transfer recycling board after a request by board member Carl Tobias. Tobias said the board must have a minimum balance in its account since the pur­ chase of Comerica Bank by Hastings City Bank, and need­ ed more money to do that.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 115 - No. 46 — Tuesday, June 9, 1987 Vermontville to post four-way stop signs at main corners by Shelly Sulser Motorists will have to stop from all directions at the main four corners of Vermontville beginning this week, the village council decided Thursday. Village President Sue Villanueva recommended the intersection be reverted to a four-way stop, saying the measure had been requested by several citizens. Stop signs on East Main and West Main were removed nearly 15 years ago by road commission of­ ficials who wanted to keep traffic moving toward M-66, Villanueva said. Stop signs have been in place at North Main and South Main streets of the four corners for a number of years. Villanueva supports the ad­ dition of the Other “stop” signs, she said, because children playing in the park and walking to school near man injured in semi rollover near Allegan 6402 Gale Wetzel, 42, of Nashville was listed in good condition at Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids Wednesday after a late Tues­ day rollover accident near Allegan. Wetzel had been driving a Cappon Oil Company semi truck carrying 9,000 gallons of gasoline southbound on M-40 when he attempted to pass a vehicle that was turning east onto Babylon Road; the Allegan County Sheriff’s Department reports. Wetzel’s truck collided with the car, driven by Jeffrey S. Bosma, 19, of Allegan, jacknifed and rolled over on the roadway splitting the com­ partments and leaking gasoline onto the shoulder and ditch. Wetzel was pinned in the cab of the truck for ap­ proximately 20 minutes before being extracted by crews from the Allegan. Am­ bulance Service and being transported to Allegan Hospital. He was later transferred to Butterworth. Sheriff’s deputies said the Department of. Natural Resources was called to the scene due to the hazardous chemical spill, along with clean-up crews from -the Michigan State Highway Department, the Allegan City Street Department and 'Al’s Excavating of Hamilton. A spokesman from Cappon Oil Company in Hastings said Wetzel, who has worked for the company for about five years, was traveling from the Shell gas terminal in Grand Haven to deliver gasoline to the M-89 Self Serve in Plainwell. Bosma received minor in­ juries in the 11:37 p.m. acci­ dent, which remains under in­ vestigation by the Allegan County Sheriffs Department. No citations have been issued. Wetzel has since been released from the hospital. that corner creates the need to slow traffic. Villanueva said the village has the right to replace the signs on the East Main and West Main street comers because the town is incorporated. The action by the council comes on the heels ofthe May 21 death of four-year-old Niki O’Dell who was struck by a car at that corner. There was no discussion of the incident at the meeting Thursday, however. Cost for two 36 inch “stop” signs, two “stop ahead” signs ($31.05 each) and ten posts is $292.20, village maintenance employee Monte O’Dell said. Stop signs already on hand will also be placed on the left side of the east-west intersec­ tion temporarily to further warn motorists to stop. Trustee Rod Harmon had suggested flashing lights be added as well, but the council felt adding the new signs would be sufficient and voted unanimously in favor of the proposal. The council also agreed to post “children playing” signs on First, Second and Third streets, near the village baseball diamonds. In other action, the council voted to ammend the village water and sewer ordinances to comply with the rate increases adopted at the March meeting. The cost to residents for the two services will rise July 1. Water customers will pay an additional 50 cents on the base water rate of $2 (based on an equivalency ratio) plus 25 cents more per one thousand gallons used. Sewer Rep. Bender speaks Chamber dinner State Rep.- Bob Bender, R-Middleville, spoke to members of the Nasvhille Area Chamber of Commerce at their annual dinner meeting last week. Bender com­ mented that-he expects sales taxes to increase by one percent and said he feels recent discussion by lawmakers to raise the speed limit and ban rador dectectors is non-productive legislative action. (Maple Valley News photo by Jerry Johnson) customers will be charged $10.25 per month plus $1.15 per one thousand gallons. The council also agreed to install an extension on the third stree baseball diamond backstop to prevent damage to neighboring property by fly balls. Ordinance committee member Joe Ann Nehmer reported Ordinances- 22, 2A and 15, which pertain to junk, obnoxious weeds and dilapidated buildings are be­ ing enforced in the village by notifying the violators by let­ ter they have 30 days to comp­ ly.

I can't believe it! It has already been three months since the Maple Syrup Festival Queen judging. I’ve been busy organizing all the activities the court and I plan on doing in the future. I never realized' how many parades and various invitations we would receive, but I am look­ ing forward to all of them. I hope, in this column I will help to encourage more girls to get involved, and see all the fun we have as representatives of Vermontville during our reign.

Everyone there was encouraged to make maple sugar candy by stirring and stirring boiled maple syrup. This was called the “Annual Sugaring off.” Then in April, before the Syrup Festival, we visited with a few of the syrup producers. It was very in­ teresting. especially when we saw each of the three different types of evaporators and saw their processes. When it got closer to the festival the court and I went to John Viele’s to build our float. This Maple Syrup Festival was the most exciting one ever for me. All five ofus, Annette Powers, Nicole Bayha, Amanda Ramey, Sheri Forell, and I have collected many memories to tuck away in our scrapbooks already. It has been really fun meeting new people and representing Vermontville. In May I was invited by Edgar Fletham to attend a meeting of the Eaton County Board of Commissioners at the Eaton County Courthouse. It was quite interesting. There were three high school girls Community pancake Amy Walker who were invited as represen­ tatives of their high schools in Mr. Fletham’s district. The three chosen were: an honor student from Lakewood High School, the homecoming queen from Grand Ledge High School, and the Maple Syrup Festival Queen from Maple Valley High School. I learned a lot about govern­ ment and enjoyed my tour of all the offices and courtrooms in the Eaton County Cour­ thouse building. May 25 we were a part of the Nashville Memorial Day Parade. The parade ended al the cemetary with a very in­ spiring ceremony. We are just beginning.

Satottef9:00 toNma Federal �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, June 9, 1987 — Page 4 Local history quiz reveals some colorful information back in 1922 The following article ap­ peared in The Nashville News on January 2, 1947, when Donald F. Hinderliter was editor-publisher. It tells of a local history quiz that was published in The News back in 1922, at a time when Len W. Feighner was at the helm of the weekly. The ac­ count reveals colorful data compiled by Feighner as sort of a test of memories of four local old-timers of that era. Some of those men, as well as many of these facts, may be recalled by at least several of our present-day readers. About 25 years ago (in 1922) Len W. “Fike” Feighner, then editor of the News, instigated a mild but lasting argument over the date the first regular locomotive puffed its way into Nashville. “Fike” knew the answer, without a doubt, but after per­ mitting News readers to argue in print a few weeks he published a list of 20 “An­ cient History Queries” and offered modest prizes for the best sets of answers. The questions all concerned the early history of Nashville and the few readers who submitted answers (only four were ever mentioned), whether or not they knew it, were writing a few pages in the history of Nashville. Rather than list the 20 ques­ tions separately and follow with the answers, it might be preferable from the reader’s standpoint to print the answers along with the questions. The four authorities who submit­ ted answers and shared the prizes of free subscriptions and tickets to the Star theatre were Thomas Purkey, William Feighner, J.E. Oldfield and Charles Ray­ mond. On most points they agreed unanimously, as will be seen from the following questions and answers: 1. Where was the first regular hotel or tavern located in Nashville? On the spot later occupied by the Wolcott House, declared three ofthe four con­ tributors. Thomas Perkey answered, “Where the Mallory block now stands.” (In 1987 terms, that would be the building just south of the Nashville Auto & Farm Supp­ ly store. 2. Who was the landlord? Mr. Purkey and Mr. Feighner said Perry Flaharty; Mr. Oldfield and Mr. Ray­ mond listed John Young as landlord. 3. Where was the first post office in what now is the village? The answer was: Between the present Putnam Library and the Masonic Temple, although the description 25 years ago was differently worded. 4. Who was the first postmaster? Here they all agreed: Dr. John H. Palmer. 5. Who operated the first gun shop in Nashville? Alfred Buxton. 6. Where was his shop located?

Passenger cars on that first train in 1869 consisted of flat cars with wooden benches shaded from the sun by an arrangement of greenery. Local stockholders in the GRVRR saw their impressive-looking $100 bonds dwindle to 15 cents on the dollar in a few years, remembered one oldtimer, who also noted that in those days "trains did not worry too much about Schedules." Passengers and drays await the arrival of this eastbound train; the freight station is at left; the 1904 depot at right. property owned in 1922 by Harrison Hayes. 7. In what year were the first political flag poles put up in Nashville? In 1868. 8. What banners did they carry? Seymour and Blair, Democrats; Grant and Colfax, Republican. 9. When was the railroad built into Nashville? The four authorities fail to agree on the exact date but it seems fairly definite that Pot­ ter’s History of Barry County, published in 1913, is correct in stating that the Grand River Valley railroad was surveyed in 1866, construction work commenced in 1867, and the line completed from Jackson to Nashville, so that regular service was established January 26, 1869. 10. What company built the railroad? The Grand River Valley railroad. 11. What was the name of the first locomotive to haul a work train into the village? The Black Crook. 12. What locomotive pull­ ed the first regular passenger train to arrive here? The Mayflower. Next came the White Bear. 13. Who was the first state senator elected for Nashville? Lewis A. Durkee. 14. Where was the first church building in Nashville? 15. When was it built? 16. Who was the first resi­ dent pastor? The Christian and Methodist churches were both built in 1870. Services were held first in the Christian church, which was the building owned in 1947 by the Baptists. Rev. S. Daily was the first pastor ofthe Christian Church and Rev. Pengelly of the Methodist. 17. When was the first five engines brought The first worship service conducted in a church building in Nashville occurred at the Christian Church, built and dedicated in the summer of 1870. (In this circa-1910 photo, the church is seen at bottom left, after it was acquired by the Baptists in 1907; it is now home to Trinjty Gospel.) The first religious service ever held in N.ashville, however, was conducted by a visiting Methodist minister in 1866 at a local grist mill. The Methodists also built a frame sanctuary in 1870, replacing it after a fire in 1880 with the brick seen at upper right. At top left is the Catholic Church, built in 1876 by the Baptists who lost it five years later by foreclosure. At botton right is the 1886 Evangelical Church, now part of the present-day Baptist Church. All disagree on this point but Mr. Purkey said he believ­ ed it went to Augusta and Editor Feighner, after check­ ing all the answers, declared his nearest perfect. The 20 questions, besides settling several arguments, brought forth several in­ teresting letters from old Continued on next page— to Nashville? In 1882. 18. Who always brought a teakettle of hot water to thaw it out whenever there was a fire alarm in cold weather? Harry Hale, says Mr. Purkey. Robert Brady, says William Feighner. C.M. Putnam, claims Charles Raymond. 19. What supplied the power to run the engine? About 20 men, 10 on each side. 20. What became of the old fire engine after the village put in waterworks? Hairstyles for the Whole Family Comer of M-66 and Thornapple Lake Rd. .____852-9481 • �Memories of the past continued from previous page residents now long since dead and gone. For instance, here are some excerpts from one written by C.G. Brundage: “I was but a small lad when the railroad was built into what is now Nashville but there were many events that made a lasting impression on my memory...The Black Crook, the locomotive used in constructing the road, was a rickety old contraption ready for the junk yard. I squirted steam and water from every seam and joint and the drivers wobbled some...The Mayflower hauled the first train carrying passengers thru Nashville. It was an excursion run from Jackson to Thornap­ ple Lake and my older brother and I were part of the large crowd that got on at Nashville. The train consisted of flat cars trimmed with green bushes, making a shady arbor, and the seats were or­ dinary wooden benches. “Most of the passengers got off at the lake but we rode on to Hastings, which at that time was the end of the line. There the locomotive was run onto a turntable and the engineer and fireman took hold of a lever and turned the locomotive head end east. Our speed was not great; a horse and buggy kept up with us about half the way home...” Another letter, from William N. Devine, reveals that the track first laid on the Michigan Central was about as crude as the engine: “They used ties as today, then laid plank on lop of the ties and spiked steel strips three-eighths of an inch thick on these. After a while the spikes would work out and the iron would curl up. If the curl met the wheel above the center the moving train would force the steel strips up thru the car floor. This made traveling dangerous and fre­ quently passengers were badly hurt or killed. In such an acci­ dent the set-up was called a snake head. “The Grand River Valley railroad company was made up largely of people living along the line between Jackson and Grand Rapids. Bonds were issued in denomination of $100 each and were nice to look at. Be­ ing stockholders in a railroad we had visions of good fat dividends and nearly everyone invested. I had two bonds, Anson Ware three, Lorenzo Mudge five, and Cyrus Buston ten; “Soon after the road was built it was mortgaged to put on rolling stock and later leas­ ed to the Michigan Central. There never were any dividends declared. Some years later they came thru and offered 15 cents on the dollar for the bonds. Some refused to sell but after hanging on a year or two longer we found the big bondholder were freezing out the little ones and we took the 15 cents on the dollar. “For some years after the railroad came to Nashville all engines burned wood and the cars were heated by wood­ burning stoves. The trains did not worry too much about schedules and if you knew the conductors they would stop and let you off anywhere. The regular watering station was at Morgan for a good many years.” The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday.

Vermontville Village Council by Shelly Sulser Postal carriers have come a long way from delivering groceries and medicine to homebound widows, something Paul Friddle remembers doing on his route south of Nashville 20 years ago. Friddle retired from the Nashville Post Office last month after more than 20 years of delivering letters, bills and income tax returns on time to residents on his route. “It’s real important,” he said, “all ofus depend on it. I can’t imagine how it would be without it (mail service). We have money come by it, we pay a certain amount of bills by it.” On the 54 mile route on roads like Curtis, Barryville and Lacey, Friddle became acquainted with many people over the years, including those who could not travel to town to buy essentials. “They’d ask you to get groceries for them because they didn’t have any way of getting to town,” Friddle said. He recalled finding notes in mailboxes from time to time listing items needed along with some money. “You’re handy so they’d ask you to buy stuff. It would be things like bread and milk,” he said. “Now, they’re (carriers) too rushed, I guess. We used to have more time.” A resident of the area for more than 50 years, Friddle grew up <?n a farm. He and his wife, Jeanette live on Clover­ dale Road and have seven children, none of which have aspired to be a mail carrier. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON INCREASING PROPERTY TAXES The Village Council of the Paul Friddle of Nashville has retired after 20 years of delivering mail. “They’ve seen the trouble I had in the winter,” Friddle chuckled. Most ofthe problems he has encountered on his job were related to the weather, he said, often getting stuck in the snow or finding his car overheated on hot summer days. “And the dust gets to you after a while,” he. noted. His advice to postal patrons is that they have patience with the person who takes his place. “It takes a long time to learn the route,” he said. “There are better than 500 boxes on it now and there are so many coming and going, some have two or three last names and some boxes have no name on them at all. It takes a long time for people to learn.” Visiting with the people is what Friddle will miss most. Friddle himself will also be missed by those who worked with him, postmaster Sharon Bishop said. Friddle’s coworkers award­ ed he and his wife with a $50 gift certificate at Sears and a flowering Azalia at a special retirement dinner held at the House of Ing in Battle Creek. “We miss him already,” Bishop said.

LEVI COMPANIES e.o.e �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, June 9, 1987 — Page 11 Maple Valley awards scholarship recipients Maple Valley Memorial Scholarships were awarded to two Maple Valley graduates at ceremonies recently. At adult education graduation May 28, Martin Dawson was named as a recipient, and on Sunday May 31 at high school com­ mencement Keith Bushee received his award. The Faculty Selection Committee awarded the two scholarships this year. Although the amounts were modest, as only interest monies are used, the honor and meaning are large, co­ chairman of the scholarship foundation Junia Jarvie said. “Martin Dawson has a tremendous amount of ability in the computer science area. It would be a shame to see that talent.go to waste. Hopefully, he will continue his quest for knowledge in that area,” said teacher Pauline Hunt. At graduation ceremonies, Dawson told the audience that “When you drop out of school you are labeled a quitter. The next time I fill out a job ap­ plication I will be proud to put down that I'm a high school graduate.” Dawson had left school in 1977 and returned in 1986 to high school competition courses. His positive attitude and abilities have made him an outstanding student. He hopes to go to college to study electronic engineering, he said. Keith Bushee is characteriz­ ed by his teachers an extreme­ ly hard working, cooperative, student with an excellent at­ titude. He believes the class he profited from the most at Maple Valley was the elec­ tronics in college. He plans to start his college education at Lansing Community College.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 115 - No. 46 — Tuesday, June 9, 1987 Vermontville to post four-way stop signs at main corners by Shelly Sulser Motorists will have to stop from all directions at the main four corners of Vermontville beginning this week, the village council decided Thursday. Village President Sue Villanueva recommended the intersection be reverted to a four-way stop, saying the measure had been requested by several citizens. Stop signs on East Main and West Main were removed nearly 15 years ago by road commission of­ ficials who wanted to keep traffic moving toward M-66, Villanueva said. Stop signs have been in place at North Main and South Main streets of the four corners for a number of years. Villanueva supports the ad­ dition of the Other “stop” signs, she said, because children playing in the park and walking to school near man injured in semi rollover near Allegan 6402 Gale Wetzel, 42, of Nashville was listed in good condition at Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids Wednesday after a late Tues­ day rollover accident near Allegan. Wetzel had been driving a Cappon Oil Company semi truck carrying 9,000 gallons of gasoline southbound on M-40 when he attempted to pass a vehicle that was turning east onto Babylon Road; the Allegan County Sheriff’s Department reports. Wetzel’s truck collided with the car, driven by Jeffrey S. Bosma, 19, of Allegan, jacknifed and rolled over on the roadway splitting the com­ partments and leaking gasoline onto the shoulder and ditch. Wetzel was pinned in the cab of the truck for ap­ proximately 20 minutes before being extracted by crews from the Allegan. Am­ bulance Service and being transported to Allegan Hospital. He was later transferred to Butterworth. Sheriff’s deputies said the Department of. Natural Resources was called to the scene due to the hazardous chemical spill, along with clean-up crews from -the Michigan State Highway Department, the Allegan City Street Department and 'Al’s Excavating of Hamilton. A spokesman from Cappon Oil Company in Hastings said Wetzel, who has worked for the company for about five years, was traveling from the Shell gas terminal in Grand Haven to deliver gasoline to the M-89 Self Serve in Plainwell. Bosma received minor in­ juries in the 11:37 p.m. acci­ dent, which remains under in­ vestigation by the Allegan County Sheriffs Department. No citations have been issued. Wetzel has since been released from the hospital. that corner creates the need to slow traffic. Villanueva said the village has the right to replace the signs on the East Main and West Main street comers because the town is incorporated. The action by the council comes on the heels ofthe May 21 death of four-year-old Niki O’Dell who was struck by a car at that corner. There was no discussion of the incident at the meeting Thursday, however. Cost for two 36 inch “stop” signs, two “stop ahead” signs ($31.05 each) and ten posts is $292.20, village maintenance employee Monte O’Dell said. Stop signs already on hand will also be placed on the left side of the east-west intersec­ tion temporarily to further warn motorists to stop. Trustee Rod Harmon had suggested flashing lights be added as well, but the council felt adding the new signs would be sufficient and voted unanimously in favor of the proposal. The council also agreed to post “children playing” signs on First, Second and Third streets, near the village baseball diamonds. In other action, the council voted to ammend the village water and sewer ordinances to comply with the rate increases adopted at the March meeting. The cost to residents for the two services will rise July 1. Water customers will pay an additional 50 cents on the base water rate of $2 (based on an equivalency ratio) plus 25 cents more per one thousand gallons used. Sewer Rep. Bender speaks Chamber dinner State Rep.- Bob Bender, R-Middleville, spoke to members of the Nasvhille Area Chamber of Commerce at their annual dinner meeting last week. Bender com­ mented that-he expects sales taxes to increase by one percent and said he feels recent discussion by lawmakers to raise the speed limit and ban rador dectectors is non-productive legislative action. (Maple Valley News photo by Jerry Johnson) customers will be charged $10.25 per month plus $1.15 per one thousand gallons. The council also agreed to install an extension on the third stree baseball diamond backstop to prevent damage to neighboring property by fly balls. Ordinance committee member Joe Ann Nehmer reported Ordinances- 22, 2A and 15, which pertain to junk, obnoxious weeds and dilapidated buildings are be­ ing enforced in the village by notifying the violators by let­ ter they have 30 days to comp­ ly.

Everyone there was encouraged to make maple sugar candy by stirring and stirring boiled maple syrup. This was called the “Annual Sugaring off.” Then in April, before the Syrup Festival, we visited with a few of the syrup producers. It was very in­ teresting. especially when we saw each of the three different types of evaporators and saw their processes. When it got closer to the festival the court and I went to John Viele’s to build our float. This Maple Syrup Festival was the most exciting one ever for me. All five ofus, Annette Powers, Nicole Bayha, Amanda Ramey, Sheri Forell, and I have collected many memories to tuck away in our scrapbooks already. It has been really fun meeting new people and representing Vermontville. In May I was invited by Edgar Fletham to attend a meeting of the Eaton County Board of Commissioners at the Eaton County Courthouse. It was quite interesting. There were three high school girls Community pancake Amy Walker who were invited as represen­ tatives of their high schools in Mr. Fletham’s district. The three chosen were: an honor student from Lakewood High School, the homecoming queen from Grand Ledge High School, and the Maple Syrup Festival Queen from Maple Valley High School. I learned a lot about govern­ ment and enjoyed my tour of all the offices and courtrooms in the Eaton County Cour­ thouse building. May 25 we were a part of the Nashville Memorial Day Parade. The parade ended al the cemetary with a very in­ spiring ceremony. We are just beginning. Now that school is out, I am looking forward to an exciting and fun-filled summer. breakfast set for Rummage Sale with a discount! Saturday at Nashville United Meth.

Satottef9:00 toNma Federal �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, June 9, 1987 — Page 4 Local history quiz reveals some colorful information back in 1922 The following article ap­ peared in The Nashville News on January 2, 1947, when Donald F. Hinderliter was editor-publisher. It tells of a local history quiz that was published in The News back in 1922, at a time when Len W. Feighner was at the helm of the weekly. The ac­ count reveals colorful data compiled by Feighner as sort of a test of memories of four local old-timers of that era. Some of those men, as well as many of these facts, may be recalled by at least several of our present-day readers. About 25 years ago (in 1922) Len W. “Fike” Feighner, then editor of the News, instigated a mild but lasting argument over the date the first regular locomotive puffed its way into Nashville. “Fike” knew the answer, without a doubt, but after per­ mitting News readers to argue in print a few weeks he published a list of 20 “An­ cient History Queries” and offered modest prizes for the best sets of answers. The questions all concerned the early history of Nashville and the few readers who submitted answers (only four were ever mentioned), whether or not they knew it, were writing a few pages in the history of Nashville. Rather than list the 20 ques­ tions separately and follow with the answers, it might be preferable from the reader’s standpoint to print the answers along with the questions. The four authorities who submit­ ted answers and shared the prizes of free subscriptions and tickets to the Star theatre were Thomas Purkey, William Feighner, J.E. Oldfield and Charles Ray­ mond. On most points they agreed unanimously, as will be seen from the following questions and answers: 1. Where was the first regular hotel or tavern located in Nashville? On the spot later occupied by the Wolcott House, declared three ofthe four con­ tributors. Thomas Perkey answered, “Where the Mallory block now stands.” (In 1987 terms, that would be the building just south of the Nashville Auto & Farm Supp­ ly store. 2. Who was the landlord? Mr. Purkey and Mr. Feighner said Perry Flaharty; Mr. Oldfield and Mr. Ray­ mond listed John Young as landlord. 3. Where was the first post office in what now is the village? The answer was: Between the present Putnam Library and the Masonic Temple, although the description 25 years ago was differently worded. 4. Who was the first postmaster? Here they all agreed: Dr. John H. Palmer. 5. Who operated the first gun shop in Nashville? Alfred Buxton. 6. Where was his shop located? Near the “new” creamery (in 1947 the home of Standard Stamping Co., but now the furniture-stripping shop on Sherman St. at Cleveland.) on NASHVILLE — VILLAGE WIDE — Saturday, June 13 GAHAGESALES Come early and spend the day with us and take advantage of these sales. 9525 Bivens Rd. 9815 Brumm Rd. 135 Brumm Rd. 403 Reed St. 619 Reed St. 708 Reed St. 315 Cleveland 308 Cleveland 306 W.

Passenger cars on that first train in 1869 consisted of flat cars with wooden benches shaded from the sun by an arrangement of greenery. Local stockholders in the GRVRR saw their impressive-looking $100 bonds dwindle to 15 cents on the dollar in a few years, remembered one oldtimer, who also noted that in those days "trains did not worry too much about Schedules." Passengers and drays await the arrival of this eastbound train; the freight station is at left; the 1904 depot at right. property owned in 1922 by Harrison Hayes. 7. In what year were the first political flag poles put up in Nashville? In 1868. 8. What banners did they carry? Seymour and Blair, Democrats; Grant and Colfax, Republican. 9. When was the railroad built into Nashville? The four authorities fail to agree on the exact date but it seems fairly definite that Pot­ ter’s History of Barry County, published in 1913, is correct in stating that the Grand River Valley railroad was surveyed in 1866, construction work commenced in 1867, and the line completed from Jackson to Nashville, so that regular service was established January 26, 1869. 10. What company built the railroad? The Grand River Valley railroad. 11. What was the name of the first locomotive to haul a work train into the village? The Black Crook. 12. What locomotive pull­ ed the first regular passenger train to arrive here? The Mayflower. Next came the White Bear. 13. Who was the first state senator elected for Nashville? Lewis A. Durkee. 14. Where was the first church building in Nashville? 15. When was it built? 16. Who was the first resi­ dent pastor? The Christian and Methodist churches were both built in 1870. Services were held first in the Christian church, which was the building owned in 1947 by the Baptists. Rev. S. Daily was the first pastor ofthe Christian Church and Rev. Pengelly of the Methodist. 17. When was the first five engines brought The first worship service conducted in a church building in Nashville occurred at the Christian Church, built and dedicated in the summer of 1870. (In this circa-1910 photo, the church is seen at bottom left, after it was acquired by the Baptists in 1907; it is now home to Trinjty Gospel.) The first religious service ever held in N.ashville, however, was conducted by a visiting Methodist minister in 1866 at a local grist mill. The Methodists also built a frame sanctuary in 1870, replacing it after a fire in 1880 with the brick seen at upper right. At top left is the Catholic Church, built in 1876 by the Baptists who lost it five years later by foreclosure. At botton right is the 1886 Evangelical Church, now part of the present-day Baptist Church. All disagree on this point but Mr. Purkey said he believ­ ed it went to Augusta and Editor Feighner, after check­ ing all the answers, declared his nearest perfect. The 20 questions, besides settling several arguments, brought forth several in­ teresting letters from old Continued on next page— to Nashville? In 1882. 18. Who always brought a teakettle of hot water to thaw it out whenever there was a fire alarm in cold weather? Harry Hale, says Mr. Purkey. Robert Brady, says William Feighner. C.M. Putnam, claims Charles Raymond. 19. What supplied the power to run the engine? About 20 men, 10 on each side. 20. What became of the old fire engine after the village put in waterworks? Hairstyles for the Whole Family Comer of M-66 and Thornapple Lake Rd. .____852-9481 • �Memories of the past continued from previous page residents now long since dead and gone. For instance, here are some excerpts from one written by C.G. Brundage: “I was but a small lad when the railroad was built into what is now Nashville but there were many events that made a lasting impression on my memory...The Black Crook, the locomotive used in constructing the road, was a rickety old contraption ready for the junk yard. I squirted steam and water from every seam and joint and the drivers wobbled some...The Mayflower hauled the first train carrying passengers thru Nashville. It was an excursion run from Jackson to Thornap­ ple Lake and my older brother and I were part of the large crowd that got on at Nashville. The train consisted of flat cars trimmed with green bushes, making a shady arbor, and the seats were or­ dinary wooden benches. “Most of the passengers got off at the lake but we rode on to Hastings, which at that time was the end of the line. There the locomotive was run onto a turntable and the engineer and fireman took hold of a lever and turned the locomotive head end east. Our speed was not great; a horse and buggy kept up with us about half the way home...” Another letter, from William N. Devine, reveals that the track first laid on the Michigan Central was about as crude as the engine: “They used ties as today, then laid plank on lop of the ties and spiked steel strips three-eighths of an inch thick on these. After a while the spikes would work out and the iron would curl up. If the curl met the wheel above the center the moving train would force the steel strips up thru the car floor. This made traveling dangerous and fre­ quently passengers were badly hurt or killed. In such an acci­ dent the set-up was called a snake head. “The Grand River Valley railroad company was made up largely of people living along the line between Jackson and Grand Rapids. Bonds were issued in denomination of $100 each and were nice to look at. Be­ ing stockholders in a railroad we had visions of good fat dividends and nearly everyone invested. I had two bonds, Anson Ware three, Lorenzo Mudge five, and Cyrus Buston ten; “Soon after the road was built it was mortgaged to put on rolling stock and later leas­ ed to the Michigan Central. There never were any dividends declared. Some years later they came thru and offered 15 cents on the dollar for the bonds. Some refused to sell but after hanging on a year or two longer we found the big bondholder were freezing out the little ones and we took the 15 cents on the dollar. “For some years after the railroad came to Nashville all engines burned wood and the cars were heated by wood­ burning stoves. The trains did not worry too much about schedules and if you knew the conductors they would stop and let you off anywhere. The regular watering station was at Morgan for a good many years.” The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday.

Vermontville Village Council by Shelly Sulser Postal carriers have come a long way from delivering groceries and medicine to homebound widows, something Paul Friddle remembers doing on his route south of Nashville 20 years ago. Friddle retired from the Nashville Post Office last month after more than 20 years of delivering letters, bills and income tax returns on time to residents on his route. “It’s real important,” he said, “all ofus depend on it. I can’t imagine how it would be without it (mail service). We have money come by it, we pay a certain amount of bills by it.” On the 54 mile route on roads like Curtis, Barryville and Lacey, Friddle became acquainted with many people over the years, including those who could not travel to town to buy essentials. “They’d ask you to get groceries for them because they didn’t have any way of getting to town,” Friddle said. He recalled finding notes in mailboxes from time to time listing items needed along with some money. “You’re handy so they’d ask you to buy stuff. It would be things like bread and milk,” he said. “Now, they’re (carriers) too rushed, I guess. We used to have more time.” A resident of the area for more than 50 years, Friddle grew up <?n a farm. He and his wife, Jeanette live on Clover­ dale Road and have seven children, none of which have aspired to be a mail carrier. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON INCREASING PROPERTY TAXES The Village Council of the Paul Friddle of Nashville has retired after 20 years of delivering mail. “They’ve seen the trouble I had in the winter,” Friddle chuckled. Most ofthe problems he has encountered on his job were related to the weather, he said, often getting stuck in the snow or finding his car overheated on hot summer days. “And the dust gets to you after a while,” he. noted. His advice to postal patrons is that they have patience with the person who takes his place. “It takes a long time to learn the route,” he said. “There are better than 500 boxes on it now and there are so many coming and going, some have two or three last names and some boxes have no name on them at all. It takes a long time for people to learn.” Visiting with the people is what Friddle will miss most. Friddle himself will also be missed by those who worked with him, postmaster Sharon Bishop said. Friddle’s coworkers award­ ed he and his wife with a $50 gift certificate at Sears and a flowering Azalia at a special retirement dinner held at the House of Ing in Battle Creek. “We miss him already,” Bishop said.

LEVI COMPANIES e.o.e �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, June 9, 1987 — Page 11 Maple Valley awards scholarship recipients Maple Valley Memorial Scholarships were awarded to two Maple Valley graduates at ceremonies recently. At adult education graduation May 28, Martin Dawson was named as a recipient, and on Sunday May 31 at high school com­ mencement Keith Bushee received his award. The Faculty Selection Committee awarded the two scholarships this year. Although the amounts were modest, as only interest monies are used, the honor and meaning are large, co­ chairman of the scholarship foundation Junia Jarvie said. “Martin Dawson has a tremendous amount of ability in the computer science area. It would be a shame to see that talent.go to waste. Hopefully, he will continue his quest for knowledge in that area,” said teacher Pauline Hunt. At graduation ceremonies, Dawson told the audience that “When you drop out of school you are labeled a quitter. The next time I fill out a job ap­ plication I will be proud to put down that I'm a high school graduate.” Dawson had left school in 1977 and returned in 1986 to high school competition courses. His positive attitude and abilities have made him an outstanding student. He hopes to go to college to study electronic engineering, he said. Keith Bushee is characteriz­ ed by his teachers an extreme­ ly hard working, cooperative, student with an excellent at­ titude. He believes the class he profited from the most at Maple Valley was the elec­ tronics in college. He plans to start his college education at Lansing Community College.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 115 - No. 47 — Tuesday, June 16, 1987 School Board denies grievance filed by Fuller teachers by Shelly Sulser Six Fuller Street Elemen­ tary School teachers will not receive extra pay for teaching special education students all day, the Maple Valley Board of Education decided last week. The board denied a grievance by six teachers who claimed their workload was overburdened on a day when no substitute teacher was hired to replace the special education teacher. The students who normally attended special education courses two to four hours each day remained in the regular classroom, causing the teachers to spend extra time with the students, Eaton County Education Association Uniserv Director Brian Waltz told the board. Waltz claimed teacher con­ tracts state that if a teacher is absent and a substitute is not found, the teacher on staff who takes the class is reim­ bursed $8.25 per hour. “You’re asking the teachers to be prepared to present material to all children. All of a sudden you're asking them to change their lesson plan because they’re going to have two or three children with special needs,” Waltz claim­ ed. “There was definitely a change inworking conditions.” Superintendent Carroll Wolff noted the provision in the contract is to compensate teachers when they must teach an additional class period. As an example, Wolff stated that if a class was to attend physical education and the teacher was absent, the classroom teacher would have to teach the class during the time it would have been elsewhere. Fuller Street Elementary School Principal Joy Frith pointed out that the students were on the class list of the six teachers from the first day of school, and that every effort was made to locate a substitute teacher. “Getting subs in this district is extremely difficult,” she said. “Nothing could be done about it.” Vermontville’s Maplewood Elementary School Principal Dave Doozan reflected the opinion of district ad­ ministrators that more substitute teachers are needed, noting he has taught classes and filled in for custodians in Brumm, Viele are top vote getters in Maple Valley School election by Shelly Sulser Voters preferred Jerry K. Brumm and Charles Viele, Sr. over Maple Valley Board in­ cumbent Kenneth F. Meade, Sr. in last Monday’s annual school board election. Viele, who formerly served 21 years on the Maple Valley Board, received the most votes with 466 to return as district trustee. Brumm had 432 votes to clinch his spot on the board. Brumm and Viele will replace Meade, whose term expires June 30, and Paula Cole finishing a four year term. Having also been chosen to serve another six years as a member of the Eaton In­ termediate School District Board June 1, Viele can claim a double victory this month. The current EISD president was an incumbent in that election. Viele, of 220 Round Lake Rd., Vermontville, received Jerry Brumm is congratulated by Irene Furlong shortly after hearing the results of last Monday's school board election. 256 Nashville votes and 210 in Vermontville to win his post on the Maple Valley Board of Education. Brumm, of Thomapple Lake Rd., Nashville, won 280 sup­ porters in that village and 152 in Vermontville. In third place was John B. Krolik of Vermontville Hwy. claiming 131 Nashville votes and 109 in Vermontville for a total of 240. Getting 226 votes was Monte Allen of 7980 Clark Rd., Nashville, with 165 in Nashville and 61 in Vermont­ ville’s precinct. The incumbent Meade earn­ ed 71 votes in Nashville and 30 in Vermontville for a total of 101 votes. Meade’s son, Michael P. Meade, Sr., was also defeated, gaining only 41 votes, 29 in Nashville and 12 in Vermontville. Parmer Thompson, Jr., had 26 Nashville votes and 18 from Vermontville, for 44 total. Brumm and Viele were both active members of the Con­ cerned Citizens for Responsi­ ble School Board Action group that questioned the board regarding a December evaluation of Superintendent Carroll Wollff. Along with Russell Furlong, Brumm was co­ chairman of the group. “I’m glad I won because like I said before, I’d rather work from the inside out rather than from the outside in,” Brumm said. Brumm feels voters chose him because “number one, they’re ready for a change and number two, they’re ready for some honest, straightforward common sense.” A previous Maple Valley board member who served for 10 years, Brumm said he will ELECTION, continued page6 the past. Frith added that one to two students per class attend special education and are gone from the regular classroom from one hour to all day on some occasions. “Are we going to compen­ sate the teachers when the counselor is gone too? Where do we draw the line?”, Frith said. The motion was made and approved by the board to deny the grievance by the Maple Valley Education Association and refuse to pay the compensation. In other action at the meeting, the board accepted a bid from Norman H. Davis of $140,027.59 for the roof repair at Fuller Street Elemen­ tary and at the Jr.-Sr. High School. Board member Beatrice Pino pointed out that board policy calls for opening closed bids at meetings for the pur­ chase of construction work and equipment. Pino noted the actual procedure followed conflicted with the policy. “The bids are to be delivered to the secretary. She writes the date on the envelope and we open the closed bids at the meetings,” Pino said. Wolff noted the board had strayed from the policy so of­ ficials could verify the ac­ curacy of bids previous to board meetings, which ac­ celerates board action. “Maybe it’s time to change the policy,” Wolff said. “We’ve been opening them in advance for several years now.” Wolff suggested the board proceed to approve the bid from Norm Davis of Hastings so his men can begin work soon. Davis offered to charge the district the same price per square foot as he did for last year’s work on the high school roof, which is $2.18 per foot. Maintenance Super- visor Gerald Aldrich said. There are to be 53,600 feet on the high school to be repaired and 10,500 at Fuller, he said. The board, which did not announce the names of other BOARD, continued page 6 Maple Valley school budget expected to top $5 million by Shelly Sulser The Maple Valley school budget is expected to top $5.4 million in the 1987-88 school year, an appropriations resolution approved by the Maple Valley Board of Education Monday shows. Although the resolution with a total figure of $5,428,253 is not an actual line item budget, said Superintendent Carroll Wolff, it informs the board of what revenues and expenses to ex­ pect for the following school year. Wolff said local revenues from 20.71 mills and 8.3 mills for operations and 1.35 mills for debt retirement should amount to $1,805,949, while income from the state may reach $3,022,972. Federal receipts and other transactions could amount to about $210,629, giving the schools $5,041,550 in revenue. An added $619,941 in the general fund carryover minus school bus equity of $233,238 make the total funds available $5,428,253, the resolution states.

Jarvie and chairman Dorothy Carpenter said the response and positive attitudes of many people have been rewarding. “We would have a very long list if we were to name all the people who have given us valuable ideas, set us on the right legal track and given us sound advice or warned us of pitfalls,” they said. One of the first to be named a “Friend of MVM Scholar­ ship Foundation” is recently graduated senior Kelly Reid who spent hours typing the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, stuffing envelopes and handing out information sheets. “Kelly is an example of the fine cooperative and capable young people you find at Maple Valley,” Jarvie said.

Of the Charlotte Shopping Guide, Jarvie noted that owner John Gaedert has been “extremely supportive and generous by providing brochures, envelopes, and note cards as well as news coverage.” Scott Omman of their graphics design department has also been helpful, she noted. Fred Jacobs, publisher of the Maple Valley News and JAd Graphics production manager, has given the foun­ dation excellent coverage and generous space for publishing lists of benefactors, patrons, and' founders, Carpenter added. “Certainly without their generous news coverage it would have been much more difficult to inform people about this most worthwhile project,” she said. “Shelly Suiser has been very helpful taking and using pictures and news items to give us ex­ cellent coverge.” Carpenter and Jarvie said the board of directors express a thank you not only the four listed, but to everyone who Peace United Methodist church to hold series of conferences Peace United Methodist Church will hold a series of social conferences from 7 to 9 p.m. on each of the following days: Monday, June 22, Stress of All Kinds.

Nashville to begin building new DPW garage by Shelly Sulser The Nashville Village Council plans to construct a new Department of Public Works garage near the Nashville water treatment plant, and has scheduled a special meeting for tonight to vote on whether to okay the project. Nashville Village President John Hughes had suggested applying for a grant from the Farmers Home Administra- tion to fund the building but later learned that process would be too lengthy and con­ tain various stipulations. Hughes suggested to the council Thursday that the village finance the project out of various fund accounts and use Michigan Job Corp workers to build the new garage. “This way, we can pretty much do it the way we want to,” said Hughes.

Beginning in September the scouts learned how to use a compass and began work on the Foot Traveler Badge. The troop went on a six mile hike on Oct. 11 on the Linear Path in Battle Creek and another on Oct. 21 which was a town hike around Nashville. On Nov. 18 the scouts joined the Boy Scouts at the Maple Valley School Forest in a “last man rescue.” On this hike they were able to put their orienteering skills into practice. The troop was involved in the nieghborhood Christmas Party and Thinking Day. They represented the country of Scotland at Thinking Day and presented the significance of the sash and it’s insignia. The girls also participated in the Glowing Embers Coun­ cil 75th Anniversary Promise Circle in Battle Creek on March 12. It was held at Kellogg Community College and involved approximately 600 Girl Scouts and leaders. On April 13 a trip was taken to the weather station at televi­ sion station WUHQ to com­ plete the requirements for the Science Sleuth Badge. There the girtls met with weather­ man Bill Rogers and learned that the majority of weather predictions are made by the Retired School Personnel are invited to meeting use of the computer. On April. 20 the troop had a cookout at co-leader Diane Null’s home. The scouts prepared meatballs, a friend­ ship salad and eclairs for dessert. This was a follow-up activity to learning about nutrition and the food groups. This was in conjunction with the Healthy Eating Badge. The troop had an exchange meeting with Joan Hasselback’s Junior Girl Scout Troop from Vermont­ ville on April 27. The scouts shared a craft, songs, games and a snack. This exchange activity helped the troop earn the Honor Troop Patch that they had been working on since September. It is also a requirement for the sign of the Rainbow. To complete the Local Lore Badge, Troop 692 met at the cemetery on May 11 to trace family histories. They also looked for unusual names and did stone rubbings. The girls were amazed at the amount of information that could be gathered there. The scouts worked on the Wonder Woode (day camp) or Merrie Woode (resident camp). In addition to camp, the troop plans to go horseback riding, have a cam­ pout, and have a water car­ nival involving water games and activities. Already mahy new ac­ tivities are being considered and planned for the fall. The scouts in Troop 692 include Alicia Alieva, Rhonda Brown, Danielle Cook, Amanda Greenman, Shannon Hickey. Billie Jean Jarman, Christin Ossenheimer, Amie Reid, Jennifer Reid, Karen Skedgell, Brandi Secord, and Amanda Smith. Leaders for the troop are Diane Null and Merry Ossenheimer.

Nashville, Vol. 115 -No 48 — Tuesday June 23, 1«87 Beatrice Pino is newest recall target by Shelly Sulser While other school board members are facing recall petitions over the superinten­ dent’s evaluation, Beatrice Pino has been added to the recall list because she alleged­ ly referred to some two-yearo 1 d s as not being “housebroke” and voted to deny a grievance by some teachers over extra pay for teaching special education students. George Hubka of 7950 Marshall Rd., Nashville, filed a notice of intent with the Barry County clerk’s office to recall the 75-year-old Pino. At the June 8 board of education meeting, Pino mov­ ed to support the decision of administrator Joy Frith to deny the grievance by six Fuller Street instructors who had spent time teaching special education students in the absence of their teacher. Later in the meeting, Pino said she commented concern­ ing participation by two-yearolds in a pre-primary program “it boggles my mind that they are only two years old. Some of them aren’t even housebroken.” Hubka claims in his recall notice that Pino exhibited a “lack of understanding of and feeling for the responsibility and respect a school board member needs to show and provide to the Maple Valley special education students, their parents and the citizens of the school district. “She did this by her vote to deny a grievance regarding the absence ofa special educa­ tion teacher from Fuller Street Elementary Building during the second semester of the 86-87 school year, and as ex­ pressed through her comment during discussion about younger special education students, when she referred to them as ‘not yet being housebroke’, a term which better fits cats and dogs, not children in the Maple Valley School system.” PINO, continued page 6 Beatrice Pino George Hubka Dispute rages on over M.V.

Pino’s clarity hearing is cedure kept drive chairman Marilyn Roush from turning scheduled for July 2 in the over petitions to oust vice probate courtroom in Barry president Loren Lehman as County at 1 p.m. while in Eaton County, a June 30, 2 well. Barry County Clerk Norval p.m. time has been set for the Thaler said he learned last Lehman hearing. Lehman said he intends to week that hearings to clarify petition wording must be held fight the recall campaign in the county where the recall, because has done nothing target resides, but the com­ wrong. “When you're right, you're pleted forms are then to be fil­ ed in the county which con­ right,” he said. “You’ve got tains the most registered to stand your ground and fight. But when you’re wrong, voters of the school district. Because Lehman is a resi­ you’ve got to let go. And I dent of Eaton County and a don’t feel I’ve done anything clarity hearing was not held wrong.” According to the reasons there, his petition with over 600 signatures is not valid in submitted and approved in Barry County where most Barry County, Lehman and Ossenheimer, who are voters live, Thaler said. Roush said she will not pur­ members of the board’s sue Lehman’s removal from Policies and Athletic Commit­ the board but will continue to tee which conducted a seek a recall of Ossenheimer. December board evaluation of Superintendent Carroll Wolff, have allegedly failed to follow superintendent evaluation pro­ cedures outlined by the board. "This committee will com­ pile the evaluation results and meet with the superintendent to discuss, explain, and answer questions about the evaluation,” the policy states. “Members of the board will see a composite evaluation prior to the time the superintendent receives it.” In her petition, Roush claims that “a composite evaluation was hand delivered to .the superintendent on a Sunday evening. No meeting was held to discuss, explain or answer questions about the evaluation by this committee as required by the procedure cover letter. “All board members did not see a composite evaluation prior to the superintendent receiving his on Sunday. In fact, one board member did not see his composite evalua­ tion until the following Wednesday evening after the superintendent received his.” Lehman said he and Ossenheimer have generated a “They said ‘would an group of seven supporters. apology help?’,’’ said Roush.

In addition, the plaintiff Roofer files suit against M.V. School Board by Shelly Sulser A roofer whose bid for work on the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School and Fuller Elementary buildings was re­ jected at a recent board of education meeting is challeng­ ing the board’s decision and their comments in a lawsuit. Owner of Amar Roofing, Inc., in Hastings Warren Ar­ nold said the representatives lie sent to attend the June 8 meeting told him board members made derogatory remarks about him and his company prior to the accep­ tance of a roofing bid by Nor­ man H. Davis of Hastings. As a result, Arnold said he will ask for $10,000 in damages for the alleged slander plus an injunction to stop work by the Davis firm until the matter is settled. “I'm not accustomed to do­ ing business in this manner,” he said. “I feel they’ve damaged my company.” Although the suit has not actually been filed as of yet, Arnold said Friday his at­ torney David Tripp of Hastings is currently in­ vestigating his claim. Arnold said if a stop work order fails, he will then sue for loss of anticipated profits. Arnold also noted he is unhappy about the fact that sealed bids for the project were opened prior to the public meeting. At that meeting, held in the junior-senior high school library, board trustee Beatrice Pino pointed out the action to approve previously opened bids did not comply with policy. According to Pino, board policy states closed bids are to be opened and accepted at a public meeting. Superintendent Carroll Wolff said bids had been opened prior to meetings for several years to ensure com­ panies’ had correctly bid the intended project. Arnold claims the bid ac­ cepted from Norm Davis at $140,027.59, is $30,000 more than what Amar would charge for the roof repairs. “There are so many unknowns.” said Arnold. “I can’t vizualize the school board spending $30,000 more for roof repairs.’,’ Wolff agreed the Davis bid was higher than Amar’s quoted price, but did not com­ ment on why the lower bid was not approved. However, Maintenance Supervisor Gerald Aldrich said Monday that the Amar company had originally incor­ rectly bid the project, by not including a cost for the Fuller Street building. “So he sent another bid along with a letter to the board asking for mercy to overlook his mistake and take his bid into consideration,” Aldrich said. He added Arnold said he would do the work on both Ossenheimer, Hawkins and Lehman into admitting the evaluation was contrived to be used as disciplinary action against Wolff. “Everybody did their own individual evaluation," he ad­ ded. “They can all speak for themselves.” Lehman is concerned the continuation of a recall effort could cause serious dissention in the district. “The reason we’re trying to negotiate is we don’t want to split the district and if it con­ tinues. we've got to defend ourselves,” he said. “We've talked to the (Michigan) Department of Education and they said whether it’s split 50-50, 60-40 or 80-20, the district is divided.” Evaluation, continued page 6 Judge to demand seven evaluation documents Hubka is seeking $500 in punitive damages as well as court costs. In circuit court June 4, Hubka, acting as his own legal counsel, challenged the dele­ tion of a name from the com­ posite summary evaluation that was released to the public, saying it was also a violation of the Freedom of Information Act. Represen­ ting the board was Don Bonato of the Thrun, Maatsch and Nord berg of Lansing, Hubka said. “The judge would not order out a document containing the (previously deleted) name but he felt that enough questions remained unanswered about the seven missing documents to set that issue and my claim for a ’certified copy’ of the evaluation for Aug. 12, 1987 at 1 p.m. in Charlotte,”. Hubka said. At that time, witnesses will be called to testify in open court and other evidence will be introduced to assert the allegations by both parties, he added. Bonato could not be reached for comment. �The Mople Valley News.

Such is the case today. ---- 0—; Elizabeth (Gibson) Lynch was the first to call us with the information that the name of the 1927 Nashvillle High School baseball player identified only as “Furlong” in a picture in our June 2nd col­ umn was Roy. He was a member of the Class of 1929, a classmate to Liz. Incidental­ ly, she also was a participant in the 1927 Barry-Eaton track meet mentioned in that story. In fact, Liz won that annual meet for four years running, including the 1927 event at Nashville’s Riverside athletic field. “There was not much competition (in girls’ events) in those days,” noted Liz. For females there were only three contests: the 50-yard dash; the relay; (both of which Liz won); and the baseball throw. ---- 0—— Another update on that particular column which also featured a composite photo of the Class of 1927 and told of their upcoming graduation schedule: today, all but nine of the class of twenty-nine members survive. At the re­ cent Maple Valley High School Alumni Banquet nine of those twenty survivors were in attendance to receive special recognition for the 60th anniversary of their graduation from Nashville High: Those present were Clayton Johnson, Ralph Ticehe, Mabie (Mater) Powers, Harry Johnson, Edith Parks, Adolph Douse, Jr., Ada (Gage) Johnson, Velma (Hoffman) Cotteral, and Vivian (Pendill) Lindbergh, who came all the way from Ruther Glen, Va., near Washington, D.C. While here, Mrs. Lindbergh was a houseguest of Elizabeth Lynch. ---- 0-----On another topic, some of our readers may recall Charles Raymond, whose ac­ count of early days in Castleton Township was featured in the April 7 and April 14 columns. Charles was the son of pioneer settlers Henry and Lorada (Hathaway) Raymond, and was just a child when the family migrated here from Ohio in the 1850s. The articles we featured first appeared in the Nashville News in 1927 as “Reminscent Sketches” written by Raymond. After the stories were published in this column in April, we had a call from Elaine (Downing) Powers of Nashville, who related to Charles Raymond’s wife, the late Lynde (Downing) Raymond, who was the daughter of early local residents Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Downing. Elaine had this interesting story to tell us. When Charles was a young lad a meteor fell in his yard and he kept it all his life. It was a good-sized rock of unusual shape and composition. After he and Lynde were married the meteor was on display in the yard of their home which sat on Queen Street between Kellogg School and the Art Bateman (old Von Fumiss) place. (The Raymond home is now gone). After his wife died in 1908, said Elaine Powers, Charles rolled the meteor to Lakeview Cemetery to place it as a marker on their plot. It can still be seen there today, just ahead of Charles’ headstone. (For those familiar with the lay-out of the cemetery, the Raymond plot is just east of the Downing family’s aboveground graves.) After Elaine’s call we made a trip to the cemetery to see the meteor. We also stopped by the old Raymond homesite, and there noticed imprinted on a concrete sidewalk block leading to the now non­ existent home (now the north edge of the school property) the inscription “C.H. Raymond, 1908;” We assume Mr. Raymond did that cement work himself. Incidentally, Lynde Downing is seen in the photo of Nashville’s Class of 1902 which appeared in last week’s Memories column. — 0---'Speaking of early local settlers, your reporter had a visit recently from a greatgranddaughter of Hiram Hanchett, one of the very earliest white settlers in what now is Nashville. When Hiram and' his brother Charles established a sawmill on the north side of the Thornapple River, near what now is Putnam Park, in the early 1850s, Indians were their only neighbors. Our visitors were June (Hanchett) Daar and her hus­ band, James, ofBig Rapids.

Seated from left: Libby Marshall, Carrie Zuschnitt, and Mrs. Offley (?). We welcome reader input to verify and/or complete this listing. One of the most unusual grave markings at Lake­ view Cemetery has to be the meteor that Charles Raymond placed on his plot at the time of his wife's death in 1908. To see it, fake the first entry south of Francis Street and stop just beyond the Downing family's above-ground graves. Raymond was the son of early local settlers, and in the 1920s wrote a series of reminiscent articles for The Nashville News about the pioneer era in Castleton Township. which has been published in they were directed to your book form. reporter.

The Chenille Sisters are making a rapid rise in the music scene of Michigan and beyond. They performed twice in the fall of 1986 on National Public Radio’s “A Prairie Home Companion,” and have been receiving airplay throughout the state with their first album. The Detroit News portrayed them as “snazzy, jazzy and considering becoming famous,” while the Detroit Free Press said their har­ monies on jazz and popular compositions are done with “enthusiasm and wit.” The trio was a hit at the 1986 Ann Arbor Folk Festival and was the first local group to sell out their own concert at the Ann Arbor Ark. They have also appeared on Detroit television, the Michigan Wheatland Music Festival and at the Detroit Music Hall. While the Chenille Sisters are making their first ap­ pearance at Charlton Park, Peter Madcat Ruth is return­ ing to the Thornapple festival stage after an enthusiastic reception last year. Known as one of the best harmonica players in the country, Madcat is a legend in Ann Arbor, where he makes his home. He toured exten­ sively in the 1970’s with members of the family ofjazz great Dave Brubeck, perform­ ing jazz, rock and a fusion of both. Since 1983, he has devoted his efforts to solo per­ forming, mastering a show of harmonica, guitar, kalmba, penny-whistle, jaw-harp and other folk instruments from around the world. In addition to albums with rock bands New Heavenly Blue and Sky King, he has played on radio and televi­ sion, with symphony or­ chestras, performed for na­ tional advertising soundtracks and led workshops for all age groups. Footloose members are also veterans of the Thomapple festival stage. Developing out of Ann Arbor’s rich musical scene, the acoustic music quintet blends solo to five-part vocals and a wide assortment of instruments into a mix of musical styles. One reviewer called their music, “top­ notch, versatile good-time country swing and jazz-tinged bluegrass.” A Footloose performance will feature bluegrass to ballads, blues to swing jazz and traditional to contem­ porary music. Footloose has five recordings on Mudhen Records and more than 10 years of festival, college, community and club ap­ pearances throughout the Midwest. Beginning as a folk/bluegrass band in 1980, the members of Iowa Rose have added classic country, western swing and original music to their program. With two albums to their credit, the band has been featured on Na­ tional Public Radio and the Nashville Network television show ‘‘Fire on the Mountain.”. They are currently listed in the Michigan Council for the Arts Directory of Touring Arts Attractions and were recently selected to perform for the Michigan Goveriior’s Conference on Tourism. Expanding from cof- feehouses and concerts in the Grand Rapids area, Iowa Rose has performed at the Wheatland Music Festival in Remus and the Winnipeg and Edmonton Folk Festivals in Canada. The Williams Family is a family that has 10 children, all of whom pick and sing and have performed in the band. Today the band includes five of the children and Dad (Larry) on the fiddle. Sometimes an extra brother or sister and even members of the next generation of Williamses join the band on stage to add to the fun. The music of the Williams Family is straight bluegrass, featuring the traditional in­ strumentation of fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar and bass and tight, high harmonies. The family is a popular act at local concerts and has traveled to festivals as far away as Oklahoma. The other Western Michigan act on the festival stage will be the Sweet Com String Band, a Kalamazoo group that has never missed a Thomapple Music Festival performance. Celebrating their 20th year together, the group recently highlighted a show in Kalamazoo’s State Theatre for the 10th anniversary of the “Grass Roots” radio show on WMUK public radio. Also featuring traditional instrumentation, Sweet Com is known for four-part har­ monies and quick-fingered mandolin and fiddle solos. The stage for the Thomapple Music Festival is set in the center of Charlton Park’s Footloose Madcat Historic Village, a collection of restored buildings from the mid to late-1800’s nestled on the banks of the Thomapple River. Folks attending the festival often take lawn chairs, blankets and a picnic lunch to enjoy an afternoon of music and history in a beautiful setting. The six-hour Thornapple Music Festival will begin at about 12:30 p.m., Sunday, June 28. Tickets are $5 for adults and 50 cents for children. For more informa­ tion, call (616)-945-3775.

She lives with her husband, James, on their farm at Rt. 3, Maple Grove Rd, Nashville. Pino is the fourth current board member to be named a target of recall since a negative evaluation of Superintendent Carroll J. Wolff by the board was revealed Jan. 12. Active citizen Marilyn Roush has sought to oust Policies and Athletic Commit­ tee members Loren Lehman, David Hawkins and Dale Ossenheimer. claiming they failed to follow their own policy regarding the evalua­ tion process. NOTICE Residents of Nashville The Nashville Village Council, Nash­ ville Zoning Baord of Appeals and the Planning Commission will now be holding their meetings at 204 N. Main (formerly Irene’s). Meetings will con­ tinue to be held on the regularly scheduled days and times. Thank you Nashville Village Council Since the drive started in January, Hawkins was drop­ ped from the recall because Roush felt he was willing to work with the superintendent, she said. In addition, Roush learned last week that petitions to oust Lehman are not valid in Barry County because a hearing to clarify petition wording has to be held in the county where the recall target resides. Lehman’s clarity hearing was held in Barry County before the mistake was discovered. Roush said she will not con­ tinue with an effort to recall Lehman. Hubka, however, said he has taken over Lehman’s recall drive by refiling for a clarity hearing in Eaton County, which has been set for June 30 at 2 p.m. In addition, Hubka plans to seek signatures on a petition to recall Hawkins, since wording was previously approved by the Barry County Election Commission. “I can take three around as easily as I can take one around,” Hubka said. Evaluation Continued from front page- Ifhe is voted off the board, Lehman said “all I’ve got to lose is a $200 headache. But the school district is what’s going to lose. Everything we’ve done thus far will be out the window.” Lehman fears the effects of a recall could inflict longlasting damage to the Maple Valley District as well. “It takes years and years to heal,” he said. “There’s con­ stant turmoil and lawsuits on top of lawsuits.” 8 LAKE ODESSA FAIR JULY 1 THRU JULY 5, 1987 Sunday, June 28 • 2:00 p.m. — ANTIQUE TRACTOR PULL TUESDAY - JUNE 30 1:00 P.M. — Dog Obedience Show (Fair Tent) I Fuller School made energy efficient The Maple Valley School Board spent $7,000 to enclose windows at Fuller School last week.

(Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) Hubka said he hopes his ef­ forts will produce a new board. _ “Maybe we can get some education instead W this gar­ bage,” he said. Hubka had made a tape recording of the June 8 board meeting, he said, and will first ask Pino to resign from her post. “I’ll make radio commer­ cials if she doesn’t want to resign,” he noted. “They ought to think before they talk is what it comes to.” Saying that others are “as incensed about it as I am,” Hubka said it will not require much effort to gather the needed number of signatures. Barry County Clerk Norval E. Thaler said a hearing by the county election commis­ sion to clarify wording for Pino’s recall petition has been set for July 2 at 1 p.m. in the probate courtroom. Thaler said that the Maple Valley recall efforts are the first such petitions he has handled since he became clerk 12 years ago. After petitions are filed, procedure calls for the elec­ tion commission to meet again to set a date for a recall elec­ tion to take place.

S’ttB tyHttia* fajd Wfet bi From our Readers A recall petition against me has been filed with the Barry County clerk by George Hubka. It is supposedly based on my actions and words at the June 8th board meeting. Mr. Hubka is confused about what went on at that meeting. He claims that I showed no respect for special education students, by voting “to deny a grievance regar­ ding the absence of a special ed teacher during the second semester”. Actually, the grievance had been presented by some of the regular teachers regarding the rare times (twice during the school year) when special ed students were placed in their rooms because of the special ed teacher was absent. After full public discussion, I moved that the grievance be denied and, as I remember, all of the board of members concurred. On an entirely separate issue, Mr. Wolff described a new program emanating from the Eaton Intermediate School District, which would transport some very young MV children to Charlotte for special help and training. The sessions, the frequency of which I am not sure about, would take palce afternoon for about 2 1/2 hours. Travel time would be at least an hour more. I remembered that at the candidates meeting, Mr. Viele had expressed concern that younger and younger children were being subjected to training outside the home. He said, “Let children be children.” I was moved by this and I agree with him. I objected to the plan on the basis of the childrens’ age. Paula Cole said, “But that’s in the afternoon”. I said. “Yes, that is their nap time. It boggles my mind that they are only two years old. Some of them aren’t even housebroken ’ ’. Ron Tobias turned to Mr. Wolff and said, “They can’t even talk yet”. We were not speaking ofthem specifically as special ed children, but only as very young gifted babies. I would have had the same concern if they had been highly gifted youngsters, and I know that Rpn Tobias was not implying that special ed children could not learn to talk. My term “house-broken” (not house broke, which is Mr. Hubka’s usage) was used only in a semi-humorous way, and with no disrespect at all. Mr. Hubka says the term is only used for cats and dogs. Yesterday in the market I saw a little girl gazing wistfully at the gum-ball machine. Her father said, “Come along Kit­ ten, we have to go.” I’ve heard mothers use the term “my precious lamb”; They are no more'disrespectful than I was when I spoke as I did. Last year some teachers at Fuller Street School, asked me to help with children who were having reading difficul­ ty, and also to lead a Great Books discussion group for able students. Mr. Hubka’s sweet daughter was one ofthe children with whom I worked. My whole adult life has been devoted to the welfare of children. I am a parent and a grandparent. I have also been a foster parent for disturbed children. I was a successful teacher for a long time. I am deeply concerned that these frivolous and irresponsi­ ble recall motions may be hiding some other purpose. I don’t know what this purpose THE 177 South Main Street, Vermontville PHONE 726-1043 Friday - Saturday DJ. ★ LOW Summer Drink PRICES all the time Coming 4th of July “SHOW YOUR TAN •Shuffleboard •Pool •Big Screen TV •Darts might be, but they have disrupted almost the whole school year and have in­ terfered with important work that needs to be done. It is nonsense. Signed, Beatrice Pino To the Editor: I’m deeply concerned about the police department in our town of Nashville. I remember a case in the past year when a person was struck in the rear end while waiting for traffic on M-66 to go to “Big George’s Party Store.” No ticket was issued by (the officer) because he said the person who struck the stopped “car didn’t intend to do it.” Plus they weren’t familiar with the street. No excuse! My wife and I were enter­ ing Nashville on May 31 this year about three blocks west ofM-66 on M-79 and we were struck in the rear end also. The impact was so great that my wife’s glasses ended up in the rear seat. Approximate damage to my car was $300. My wife was taken to Pen­ nock Hospital by ambulance with severe neck injuries. I talked to (the officer) to­ day and you guessed it, no ticket was issued to the young lady because, “she didn’t in­ tend to hit us and she had only had her license since January ofthis year.” He felt sorry for her. I also felt sorry for this young lady. I know, or hope she didn’t intend to hit us. She was afraid and in deep regret and after the ambulance left, I went over and tried to comfort her. I’m sure she and her parents are concerned for my wife today but I still can’t use that for an excuse for not issu­ ing a ticket. I only wish (the officer) was as concerned as this young lady and her parents are. I’m wondering if (the of­ ficer) would think it proper if someone with maybe im­ paired vision struck a member ofhis family who was walking down a street wasn't issued a ticket because he or she didn’t “intend” to hit his family?? This was not the case in our accident. I’m using this for an example only. The young lady was just looking elsewhere when she struck us. I’m not writing this to the paper to belittle this young lady in any way. We all make mistakes in our lives and we feel deeply sorry for her but I do believe the people should know what goes on. As far as we are concerned, Vermontville and Nashville police are equal - Vermont­ ville doesn’t have any. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Saunders 3445 N. Mason Rd.

MAIN ST., NASHVILLE vigorous plants and leaving the younger, healthier, more vigorous plants to fruit again next year. To be a candidate for renovation., a home strawberry planting needs to be fairly vigorous and relatively free of weeds, in­ sects and diseases, Krizek says. A declining planting or one with serious weed pro-, blems should be replaced with a new planting in a different site. To renovate, mow the plant foliage off one to two inches above the plant crowns, and narrow the rows with a cultivator or rotary tiller to eight to ten inches wide. Then thin the plants so they are four to six inches apart, leaving on­ ly the most vigorous and healthy. Annual renovation will go a long way toward keeping a patch relatively free of many weed and disease problems, Krizek points out. Healthy, vigorous plants are usually less susceptible to attack by disease organisms and insects, he explains, and they tend to produce more and larger fruits. Removing weeds and other plant debris also reduces sources of disease infection and overwintering sites for in­ sect pests.

Rebounding and shooting were stressed. The camp was under the direction of Jerry Reese, Maple Valley High School’s head boys and girls varsity basketball coach. Workers at the camp included eighth grade boys coach Mike Booher along with Kelly Hasselback, Jeff Moore, Lesley Dipert, Sheri Forell, Diona Morawski, and Dawn Morawski. A total of 40 campers were in attendance for the sessions. The camp was held for students in fifth through eighth grade levels. This op­ portunity was open to both boys and girls. Physical skills were stressed as well as the mental side of the game. The feeling of being apart of the team was developed from the individual attitude. A week long theme, “You Get Out of the Game What You Put Into It!,” was emphasized to all campers.

Full-court game scrimmages provides the players an opportunity to put to use some oftheir newly learned basketball knowledge under a controlled game con­ dition. Individuals were given equal playing time. Emphasis was on personal im­ provements during the team’s time on the court. A personal work-out video tape by Steve Alford, All­ American guard from In­ diana, was shown. Steve’s personal workout for selfimprovement was constantly stressed. He emphasized hard work, discipline, dedication, concentration, intensity and goal setting to improve skill level. Quality practice time not quantity was of utmost importance. This tape emphasized that all players can become better basketball players with hard work. Sam Alford, Steve’s father and high school coach, also stressed that you get out of something what you put in­ to it. To end the video tape, Steve Alford reminded students that anyone offering drugs is not a true friend and that drugs can only mess up your life. Other highlights of the camp included speaker Jeff Hamilton, a starting junior guard at Olivet College and Maple Valley’s all-time career learding scorer. Jeff talked to the campers on goal setting by position, recording shots and charting improve­ ment, shooting with imagina­ tion against opponents, ways of communication oh the & SUMMER IS HEREIN Cedar Split Rail Stockade Fence 5/8”x8’x6’ FENCE BRIMARK BARN KITS WOOD STORAGE BUILDINGS FEATURES: • Durable wood construction • Pre-cut frame and trim kits • Easy instructions • Heavy duty hardware • All materials furnished • Floor and shingles included BISMARK Barn Kits are easi­ ly assembled and attractive in any yard.

These contests included dribbling, free throws, lay-ups, hot shot, shuffling, and one on one competition by classifications. Campers showed, a high level of enthusiams for learn­ ing basketball skills. In­ dividual fundamental skills were strengthened by many station drills. Enhancing this enthusiasm for learning coach Booher and Kelly Hasselback set up players into age and ability groups and then assign­ ed each player to a team. This created tremendous interest because of the actual competition. Coach Reese made sure that players, who had registered by the deadline, received an autographed red and white Bobby Knight basketball, a camp shirt, and that each player was video taped. Many prizes were used to enhance the individual competition during the week. Reese said, “This was a very rewarding week of camp. We say many players improve and elevate their skill level. What was probably more important was the fun feeling volunteer coaches and campers had working together.” Eaton 4-Her’s can compete in state dog show July 25 Eaton County youths will join other 4-H’ers from across the state in the Michgian 4-H Dog Show, July 25, at Michigan State University in the Judging Pavilion.

The ber­ rylike, waxy fruits form in the summer. They tend to be gray to white, with lengthwise lines that give them the appearance of a peeled orange. After the leaves tum red and drop in the fall, the presence of the ber­ ries makes identification fairly easy. The berries are also, to blame for the spread ofpoison ivy into backyards and home landscapes. Birds using the fruits as an emergency food source in the winter scatter the seeds. The result may be a poison ivy vine snaking through a shrub, up a tree, along a wall or through a lawn. To be effective, any control effort has to kill or completely remove the root system, Krizek says. Digging the roots when the By Allen P. Krizek, County Ext. Director If you’re sensitive to poison ivy, the best way to avoid a lot of misery is to steer clear of this pesky plant. That tends to be more dif­ ficult than it sounds, however. Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, points out that poison ivy can grow as a climbing, woody vine attach­ ed to trees, fences or other ob­ jects; an erect shrub a few in­ ches high; or a creeping vine without support. The leaves, borne in groups of three, are reddish and drooping in the spring. As they expand, they tum glossy or dull green and may be hairy. The shapes of in­ dividual leaves can vary great­ ly. All of this variation can make identify ing--and avoiding-poison ivy very difficult.

Frequent mowing of the leaves—the plant’s food factories—can eventually starve the roots. You must mow often, Krizek says, so new leaf growth has no chance to fortify the root system. Chemical control with the herbicides 2,4-D or Amitrol also requires several treatments. And there’s always the possibility that you will. kill or damage other plants in the landscape.

Krizek County Ext. Director Obiously rainfall has not been sufficient to keep a lawn green this year. Without sup­ plmental irrigation the lawn will become dormant, tum brown and stop growing. A dormant lawn normally will recover when adequate moisture becomes available. There are both advantages and disadvantages in allowing a lawn to go dormant. Advan­ tages are: 1) reduced mowing and fertilizing as growth slows or ceases. 2) Minimal costs for water and irrigation equipment. Disadvantages are:: 1) More weeds due to lack of competition. 2) Slow recovery from additional stres such as traffic, disease or insect attack. 3) Aesthetics — a brown lawn is less attractive. As summer approaches, you should determine whether water will be practical. Plans should be made for watering if a dense, green, vigorous lawn is desired. For Sale COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL Property in Nashville The best time to water is early morning so that the lawn will have water during the heat of the day. Watering at mid-day is hot harmful, but is less efficient because evaporation is often high, and wind •conditions may cause uneven water distribution. Reduced water pressure may also be a mid-day problem. For best results, start watering before dormancy develops. Look for signs of wilting. A dark, blue-green color arid footprints that persist for some time are signs that the lawn needs water.. Once a watering program is started, it should be continued throughout the dry period. Ifa lush fertilized lawn is not watered, and no rain occurs during hot weather, serious thinning and slow recovery can result. When wilting is observed, apply enough water to wet the soil throughout the entire root zone. For bluegrass lawns on non-compacted, porous , soils, this zone is usually 4 to 8 in­ ches deep. Since lawngrasses require 1.0 to 1.5 inches of water per week, watering, plus rainfall, should supply this amount. An application of 640 gallons of water on 1000 square feet of lawn equals one inch. To determine the delivery of a sprinkler system, place cans of equal height randomly in the watering zone. When the water reaches the desired level in the cans, the sprinkler may be shut off and moved to the next area. This approach will insure that the entire root Zone is moistened.

It’s a very good idea to wear protective clothing, that can be disposed of or thoroughly washed in detergent after being in contact with poison ivy. If you think you’ver been exposed to poison ivy, washing several times with lukewarm water and a strong laundry soap whould remove at least some of the poisonous oil, Krizek says. It’s difficult to remove all the oil by washing, but it should help prevent spreading the oil to other parts of the body. KATHY’S SALVAGE CARPET: $1 to $3 per square yard. 100% nylon.

Program Assistant This spring, farmers need to inspect their fields regularly to make sure insects are not damaging the new seEdlings. Newly emerged plants are very susceptible to injury from insects, says Michigan State University Extension en­ tomology specialists. When plants are small, it doesn't take much damage from an in­ sect to kill off a stand. Cutworms can damage seedlings of all grain crops grown in the state. These small caterpillars are general­ ly found in weedy and wet areas of a field. They chew the small plants off at the crown or cut sections of the leaf off, quickly killing the plant. The cutworm has a cylindrical body, a well defin­ ed head and six legs. Growers should immediately spray in­ fected areas with a recom­ mended insecticide if 5 per­ cent of a field shows cutworm damage. Corn growers who find small, irregularly-spaced holes eaten in the leaves of new seedlings should examine the field for slugs. Slugs are usually about 1 inch long and are dark gray, black or brown with a slimy coating. A slug resembles a snail without the hard shell. Slugs feed at night and will return to the soil before sunrise, making it difficult for growers to spot them. To check for slugs, farmers should look for slimy trails on the plants and the soil around the plants early in the morn­ ing. In conventionally tilled fields, slugs prefer wet, weedy areas. In a no-till field, where the trash from the previous crop provides the slugs protection from sunlight, the pests can spread throughout the field. Control slugs in corn crops with the slugicide Mesurol if one-third or more ofthe plants show damage.

Program Assistant A properly managed woodlot can provide farmers with an additional income source for today and the future. The first step in making the woodlot part of the farm enterprise is to have the trees assessed by a professional forester. The forester will make an inventory of the timber to be sold to determine what the overall condition of the woodlot is and help farmers determine the total worth of the woodlot. Many farmers have sold harvest rights to their woodlot well below the market price because they didn’t know how much the timber was worth. Farmers can contact their local Cooperative Extension Service, ASCS or DNR office for a list of professional foresters in their area. With the help of the forester, the farmer can im­ plement a management plan to improve the productivity of the forest. This plan may like­ ly include the harvest of mature (ripe) trees and the removal of trees that don’t have the quality needed for logging operations. It is just as important to remove poor quality trees as well as mature trees to make room for future growth. These poor quality trees can be used to improve the cash flow of the farm operation by cutting them into fuelwood, pulpwood or fence posts. Removal of these trees can be scheduled around busy seasons on the farm. To help the farmer get the most from the trees sold, the forester will determine the total amount of board feet ready to be harvested. This helps the farmer negotiate a better price from the timber and offsets the costs of hiring a consultant. Research shows that when a professional forester is involved, the farmer earns more, and will have more trees left for future growth when compared to harvests made without a forester. By leaving more trees behind for additional growth, the farmer can set up a program to harvest every 5 or 10 years. For further infor­ mation contact the Eaton County Extension Office at 543-2310 or 372-5594. Know how to register a Centennial Farm? By Teann Garnant, Agri. Program Assist. With 1987 being Michigan’s Sesquicentennial, farm families may be in­ terested in registering their farm with the Michigan Centennial Farm Association. Currently Eaton County has 165 certified Centennial Farms, out of 5,500 Centen­ nial Farms in Michigan. The procedures involved to register your 100 year old or older farm are fairly simple. An application needs to be completed with documenta­ tion that the farm is 100 years old. At least 10 acres of land used for agriculture purposes is also necessary for certification. A representative from the Michigan Centennial Farm Association will come and certify the farm. Your local power company will furnish the Centennial Farm sign to be put up by the family. The Michigan Centennial Farm Association was established in 1948. Persons who want further information can call 335-2740 or write: Centennial Farm Association, State of Michigan, Bureau of History, Mutual Building, Third Floor, 208 N.

Vol. 115 - No. 49 — Tuesday, June 30, 1987 Plans for Police Office, Garage announced at village meeting by Shelly Sulser The Nashville Police Department is closer to having new office space with the ap­ proaching construction of a new building and garage. The Nashville Village Council voted Thursday to advertise for bids for the 12 feet by 40 feet structure that is scheduled to be built next to village hall, officials said. The front 12 feet of the building will house the five man full and part time police force, said buildings and grounds committee members John Hughes and Carl Tobias. The remaining 28 feet will be used as a garage and storage area. The building will be of pole construction with a slab floor and a drain in the garage to provide for washing of the police vehicles, Hughes said. He added two large wood doors will be installed at the back of the garage and that one roof will cover -the ex­ isting village hall and the Judge to rule on Green court case July 7th Nashville resident Sidney Green was givpn 21 days from a June 15 hearing in Barry County District Court to file a new motion explaining why he should not remove junk cars from his property. The Nashville Village Council had taken court action against Green, owner of R&F Enterprises at 230 S. Main St. where the cars sit, for viola­ tion of the village junk car or­ dinance two months ago. At an April 20 hearing, Green was given 21 days by Judge Gary Holman to state why he should not remove the cars and the June 15 motion date was set. At that time, however, Holman denied a request by Green’s attorney, Jim Witzel ofLansing, to dismiss the case and ordered a new motion to be filed by Green 21 days from June 15. Fourteen days after the Green motion is filed, the village is to make a respon­ ding statement. Green has contended that the cars should be able to re­ main on his property because they were in place before the adoption ofthe new ordinance Oct. 9, 1986. He noted last month that he does not consider the cars in the yard to be junk because they are for sale. Hughes said at a meeting of the village council Thursday that a July 7 date has been set for Holman’s decision on the matter. “We’re trying to take care of the junk cars and our or­ dinance is being tested in court,” he said. Contractor charged with sexual assault Charlotte Real Estate broker and acutioneer Dexter Griffin was charged in Eaton County District Court April 30 with three counts of second degree criminal sexual conduct, Chief Assistant Pro­ secutor Jeff Sauter said Thursday. Griffin and Ken Merryfield of Mulliken had recently received support from the Vermontville Council to build an apartment complex, car wash and laundromat in the village. Sauter said Griffin was ar- raigned April 30 on charges that he allegedly assaulted a 15-year-old girl. Griffin posted $500 bond and is awaiting a preliminary examination. Merryfield said last week the Vermontville project re­ mains on hold until funds are approved from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, and that no permanent sites have yet been chosen. Merryfield did not com­ ment on the case against Griffin. Have a Happy and Safe 4th of police office. Hughes said a steel door will be installed at the front of the building and that a small window will also be included. He added, however, that a definite floor plan has not been drafted. The council will advertise for bids for two weeks in the Reminder and the Maple Valley News. Bids will be due July 9. In other business, petitions bearing about 200 signatures were filed with the council, urging council members to in­ stall handicapped restrooms in the village. The petitions were filed by Kent Mead. The council took no action, but referred the matter to the Department of Public Works Committee. Mead could not be reached for comment. There was some discussion at the meeting regarding a letter to the village president from Vermontville resident Robert Saunders. Saunders’ letter expressed concern that a ticket was not issued by the Nashville police department to a girl who had run into the Work continues on DPW garage A new Department of Public Works garage is being raised in Nashville behind the water treatment center.

Hughes com­ mented that no action or response will be taken in regard to the letter. “It is not our place to se­ cond guess decisions made by the police department,” Hughes said later. In other action, the council agreed to purchase 24 chairs at $7.96 each and 10 padded chairs for the council chambers at 204 S. Main Street for $15.33 each for a total cost of $344. The council also voted to pay the Castleton-Maple Grove-Nashville Fire Board $3,000 and the ambulance board $875.

The test of skill will thrill spectators and drivers alike Saturday, July 25, beginning at 4 p.m. as drivers direct their four-wheel drive pickups through an oblong, mud-filled pit which is deepest at the far end. Those driving the far­ thest win. Sometimes the top placers win by only a few in­ ches, says Art Fleser of Dorr who has coordinated the project. Fleser says the competition provides plenty of excitement for the audience. “It’s been quite a good thing for spectators because it’s not dangerous, but the ef­ fect of the speed is stilll there,” says Fleser. “It gives all the illusion of running 100 the area a chance to run.” He says he became involved in the Mud Runs through “having fun’’ with his friends. “We had four-wheel drives and just got to playing in the mud with them to see how far we could go,” says Fleser. He began organizing com­ petitions in Bumips and has held Mud Runs there on a regular basis for seven years. Originally, he says they were held on state land but have since moved to private pro­ perty. He says they also used to be free competitions, but now drivers pay entry fees and the money is used for prizes and to cover expenses at his privately run competitions. Classes are divided by the size of tires (from ground to top of tire) on the trucks. Six m.p.h. mud’s flying, engines are racing - and you can still run along beside the trucks.” Mud Runs have been gain­ ing in popularity for the last decade or so, says Fleser. Regular competitions are held throughout the state, and na­ tional competitions have been held in Indianapolis, Ind., and Springfield, Ill. The mud-flinging event is open to anyone with a fourwheel drive pickup, says Fleser. He thinks the competi­ tion should draw a lot ofBarry County area residents because there are no other local driv­ ing skill contests like the Mud Run. “There are a lot of fourwheel drives around Hastings, Middleville and Caledonia, but there isn’t anything like this. It gives the kids around How can you be rewarded for good driving after 55? No problem. Auto-Owners gives you a Good Driver Discount if you’re age 55 or over. So instead of reducing coverage or raising auto insurance premiums when you mature—Auto-Owners rewards you classes have been set up for the Barry County event, beginning with 33-inch tires and up to 44-inch tires with an unlimited number of axles. Trophies and cash will be awarded to the top three finishers in each class - trophy and $200 for first place, trophy and $100 for second place and trophy and $75 for third place. Barry County Free Fair Manager Jerry Courtney says he is “very excited” about the new event. The grandstand area has been altered to accommodate the competition, says Court­ ney. The announcer’s stand has been moved to the area between the racetrack and the infield, he says, which was previously vacant. Now a pit 150 feet long and 25 feet wide will be dug and filled with water for the Mud Run, he says. Afterward the pit will be smoothed out and will return to its original state. The racetrack will not be used during the Mud Run, he says. The announcer’s stand will permanently remain in its new location, ocaton,says says Courtney,proCourtney, providing about 50 feet of additional space in front of the grandstand.

There Wilaill , t ■ iMtaai Have you ever been to an Asparagus Festival? Well I never had before,-but I’m glad I got to participate this year. It was held June 13 in the Shelby/Hart area. We were part of their grand parade through the town of Hart. The parade was the longest I had ever seen, with over 90 entries. We were also invited to at­ tend a queens reception before the parade. This was really nice. It not only gave us the chance to meet other Michigan queens, but also helped them “show-off” some of their “different” asparagus products. They use asparagus in in breads breads and and asparagus cookies, like we use maple syrup syrup in in various various recipes. recipes. I greatly admired the spirit of these these people people and and their their of asparagus festival. There were were many many green green and white clothes worn that day by lots of the townspeople. I even saw some ladies who went all out making themselves skirts with asparagus appliqued around the edges. After the Asparagus were quite a variety ofwagons to see. Some were original, while others were modified with cushioned automobile seats installed. After admiring all the covered wagons, we watched a play presented by Charlotte’s historical society about Michigan. There were also Girls Sc6uts giving demonstrations of various pioneer lifestyles, like candlemaking,, cooking, transportation, and more. June 18 we attended a dinner and Syrup Association meeting at the Congregationall Church. The meeting was to discuss the past 1987 Syrup Festival. This is one of the responsibilities of the queen, to attend certain dinners and meetings. It helps me an awful lot to feel the encouragement of these people we are represen­ ting, and to be able to give back a report of what we have been doing. I would like to thank everyone for their support and encouragement to me so far. IT’S TIME It's the time of year when many of us take a break from daily chores and cares and get away from it all.

We erred in last week’s column when we stated that Lynde Downing (later Mrs. Charles Raymond) was seen in an earlier publish­ ed photo of Nashville’s Class of 1902. That was not the future Mrs. Raymond in the picture of the graduates, but her niece and namesake, Lynde Downing (later McNitt). The “first” Lynde Downing was, as we noted last week, the daughter ofMr. and Mrs. Cyrus Downing. Her niece’s parents were the Manley Downings. Thanks to Elaine (Down­ ing) Powers for setting us straight, and also for all the fascinating data she furnished for last week’s column about the unusual meteorite marking the Raymond gravesites at Lakeview Cemetery. By the way, we are still awaiting calls to help identify the ladies seen in the two group photo published in that column. Surely some of our readers must recognize the women seen in the circa-1960 photo. Calls are welcomed by your reporter. Now, for this week’s story. In this month of June brides, have you ever wondered what local weddings were like some century ago? We recently ran across an interesting piece in the November 13, 1930, issue of The Nashville News that touches on that topic. It is an account of the 50th wedding anniversary celebration of the Willis Lathrops of Barryville, held at the church there and attended by many friends and relatives of the couple. Presented at that event (and included in the News report) was a detailed account by Mrs. Lathrop of the couple’s courtship and marriage, which we want to share with our readers. ..,®?des 'Tere attired in this fashion by the time Mrs. Willis Lathrop recounted the early days of her courtship and marriage at the couple's 50th wedding a anniversary celebration held at the Barryville Cih urchd. The Lathrops lived nearly all of their lives around that community four miles west of Nashville This unidentified bride, circa-1930, is believed to be local or to have had a local connection. Ca Can you identify her? The Lathrops were married November 3, 1880, at the home of the bride. The Nashville News issue of that week noted the nuptials: “Willis M. Lathrop and Miss Chloe L. (Louise) Hyde were married Wednesday, and took the afternoon train to Ripon, Wis., to visit friends.” Following are Mrs. Lathrop’s reminiscences of that time as recalled 50 years later. “We had lived nearly all our lives in and around Barryville. I was bom in a little one-room log house on the northwest comer of George Hayman’s farm, then owned by William Ware, my grand­ father. Willis was bom near Marshall, Feb. 22, 1853, coming to Barryville with his parents when he was about five years old, living on the mill property now owned by John Higdon. We went to school together but were not in the same classes. “The first I could remember of Willis was when the teacher, Frank Lathrop, his cousin, struck him over the head with a ruler when he took a nap one day in school. The one-room school was crowded and Willis and Lorenzo Mudge had to sit near the teacher. They had been out late the night before and had become sleepy. “After that I went around with him to parties. That winter boys wore their hair curled. The girls made curlers out of oyster cans, and put them on for the boys. I fixed up Lorenzo Mudge and it took eighty curlers. “In those days I was in the younger class and the older girls called us ‘trundle-bed trash.’ But shortly I grew up and began to go around to par­ ties. We used to go in lumber wagons, with three or four spring seats, and three or four on a seat, unless our beau had a horse and buggy. We played such games as ‘Spat ‘em Out,’ ‘Happy as a Miller,’ etc. “Willis used to come to spend the evening and would sometimes forget to shut up the bam or gate, and my father wbuld threaten to tell him about it, as he was very particular. Willis bought a black horse that had been driven but a few times. He took me for a ride once in the winter in a cutter, and as we were passing someone on the road the horse shied out and turned the cutter over, dump­ ing us out. The cutter righted itself and the horse ran away. We walked home, and found the horse standing at my hit­ ching post where it was used to being. The minister after­ wards bought the horse and for a long time had trouble getting the horse past that post. “Willis went in December, 1876, to Carson City, Nevada, to live with an aunt. He got a job as night and day This unidentified local photo shows a typical home wedding of the era in which the Willis Lathrops were married. However, probably few brides have worked as hard as Chloe Louis Hyde did to acquire a wedding gown, drying apples and sewing 25 yards of rag carpeting to sell. She also baked the cakes and prepared the entire luncheon for guests who attended her home wedding in 1880. This photo is from the Len W. Feighner collection at Putnam Public Library. guard at the state prison. To keep awake he would read my letters and build air-castles. He put several girls in these air-castles but they wouldn’t stay and finally he put me in and I stayed. He finally got homesick and started back in February, 1880. That spring he went to Ripon, Wis., with his people to help them settle there, but came back to Michigan to spend the Fourth. “He worked around there in the harvest fields, threshing and cutting com, and I sewed rags and made 25 yards of carpeting, and dried apples to by myself an all wool navy blue serge wedding dress. As I had to do the housekeeping for several years because my mother had been ill, my father did not want me to get married and offered to give me the best forty-acre farm in Barryville if I would stay at home. I said I couldn’t do that but would live close to them, and I have done so. “The time for our wedding was set for Wednesday, Nov. 3, 1880, at 12:00 o’clock. It was a home wedding and I baked the cakes and prepared all of the lunch myself. I had four bridesmaids, Mena and Mina Mudge, and Clara and Elsie Ware. I wore a pin belonging to Elsie Tucker as something borrowed for luck. We were married by Rev. John McPhail, then the pastor of Barryville church. “We went to Ripon, Wis., on our wedding trip. We received lovely wedding presents, silver, glassware, etc. My father gave me a cow and horse. Grace Lathrop Hyde went to Ripon with us. We enjoyed the trip across the lake and the trip from Milwaukee to Ripon on the train. We had a reception at Father Lathrop’s house when we reached there, and we received other presents. We stayed there until the middle of December. Then we came back and rented a place east of Morgan for three years. “After we had settled, using some old furniture left by Father and Mother Lathrop, and buying an extension table, because Willis and his family liked reunions, and with my wedding presents we were real cozy and comfortable. We had a family gathering at Christmas, and we used m my best silver and linen and dishes, and although my tablecloths were just red and white checked the table look­ ed very pretty. “Our first baby was a girl, Nina Belle. Then another girl was bom and then another, until five little girls had arriv­ ed, the last one being named Georgiana, and was called George to please us. Then after eight years a boy came and we named him Arthur, and then a little later another girl. We worked long and hard to pay for the home farm at the foot of the Barryville hill, and get the children through school. “Of course, as in all families, sorrow came into the home. Lottie only lived to be twelve years old. Then we bought the pretty home we live in now, and Arthur bought the old place and mar­ ried, and lives therei now with his wife, Grace. After twelve years another sorrow came and Emma was taken away. “We (now) enjoy young people, hearing about their school work and the subjects they are taking and what they are planning to do. We enjoy younger children. We enjoy the magazines and papers that come to us, and we have a lit­ tle radio. We enjoy our church, where we have wor­ shipped for more than fifty years. In looking over the past fifty years it has passed so quickly and the pleasant things that have come to us are uppermost. If we have any regrets they are that we did not spend more time with our children and enjoy them more while they were young. We thank you all for coming to help remind us of this golden wedding day. & “Records show that this is the first golden wedding an­ niversary in the Lathrop fami­ ly since the 16th century.” One of Mrs. Lathrop’s bridesmaids, Mina Mudge Holmes, then of Detroit, was present at the 1930 event and told “the kind of a girl Willis picked out.” She said: “Louise was tall, had brown hair, blue eyes and a delicate skin, with some freckles that sometimes an­ noyed her, and made no dif­ ference with me, because I loved her just the same. She had a wonderful spirit of pa­ tience. I could never recall an unkind word or even a thought of anger. We sat together at school and sometimes studied from the same book. When we went away to high school she got a place to work for her board... Then her mother, who was never strong, was taken sick and was confined to her bed for two years. A doc­ tor performed an operation and put her on her feet again. During all those years Louise was housekeeper, cook and nurse. She did wonderfully well. That was her high school and college training in the great school of ex­ perience. We had many plea­ sant hours together. I have had many girl friends but there is no one who stands out as she does, or has ever taken her place in my affections. Louise and her fine family have been an inspiration to me...” mer Sav,„ Happy 4th! Exercise your independence with 300% more freedom of choice in TV viewing.

Although I was unable to at­ tend the meeting because of having to work a late shift, I was informed by a neighbor about the events which hap­ pened at the June 8 meeting. Upon hearing the tale, I was doubtful that the things I had been told really could have happened at a public board of education meeting. To confirm the story I listened to a tape recording that had been made of the meeting. Sure enough, when the tape was played, I did hear Mr. Doozan, an elementary prin­ cipal in the Maple Valley Schools, refer to special education students as “yo­ yo’s”. Even though he later apologized for making that statement, I feel that an apology does not mask his “true feelings” about these students with special needs, and I wonder why, or if the Maple Valley Board has given any consideration to his being removed as an administrator and replacing him with a person who has or exhibits more concern and respect for those special education students of the district? Regarding Mrs. Pino’s ac­ tions and statements, I must conclude that from what she admits in her letter in the 6-23-87 Maple Valley News that she and the rest of the board did vote to deny the .

MA*PI P VfnALI LI FLYl 1 Est<lt6 grievance which confirms that the board did, in fact, for the two days she mentions, take “extra money” from the State Department of Education or the Eaton Intermediate District and not properly spend it. Perhaps, if the Maple Valley district does not want to pay it to the regular teachers who had the special education children for those days, the board would be kind enough to return the amount to the State Department of Education. A private citizen who takes money and uses it for purposes for which it was not intended can be charged with a crime. I do not see how the Maple Valley Board of Education should be treated any differently. As far as Mrs. Pino’s com­ ment that they “aren’t even housebroken,” I must say that no where on the tape did I hear her issue a disclaimer telling the audience that it was meant to be “semihumorous” and should be greeted with a laugh or chuckle. Her use ofthe excuse that children are often called “kitten” or “lamb” needs to be seen as being a reference by the parent to their own in­ dividual child, while the com­ ment Mrs. Pino made was made as a board of education member and referred to an entire class of residents of our district. Mrs. Pino, in her letter, states that “Mr. Hubka is confused about what went on at the meeting.” I am sorry Mrs. Pino, but after being told about the meeting, hearing the tape from the meeting, and reading your letter I feel that if anyone is confused as to what went on at the 6-8-87 meeting it is you and not Mr. Hubka.

I do not consider it frivolous or irresponsible or nonsense that we are able to petition for a change (through recall pro­ cess) of our elected officials who exhibit the behavior that has been shown by those members of the board of education who have done things and then try to tell us we do not understand or are confused about what we have heard.

Yours, James Rice leave to attend special educa­ tion as a substitute for the special education class could not be found. . All seven board members agreed to deny the grievance for extra pay. Why, Mr. Hubka, did you decide to recall only Bea? We can’t stand back and let this continue. We can’t afford to recall every school board member because we don’t agree with the way they voted on an issue. Recall elections cost the school district lots of money. I believe that everyone should understand the issues before they sign their name on a petition. Don’t allow others to make your decisions for you. Thank you for listening. Sincerely Bonnie Laverty Vermontville To the Editor: I don’t understand why Mr. George Hubka feels that Bea Pino should be recalled for voting against the teachers grievance and for saying the word “housebroken”. I was at the school board meeting on June 8. I heard Mrs. Pino state her concern for busing little two- to fiveyear-old children to Charlotte for afternoon special educa­ tion classes. She stated, “Why, these are just babies! They need their moms and their naps. Why, some of them aren’t even ‘housebroken’ yet.” When Mrs. Pino made that state­ ment, her voice was filled with love and concern for these babies. Anyone anywhere can take a statement out of context and make it sound like something it was not. Also, when Mr. Wolff ex­ plained that special education for two- to five-year-olds was now being mandated by the state, Mrs. Pino and all six other board members voted to start the program. All six other board members also voted to deny the grievance of six Fuller Street teachers. These special education students are assign­ ed to stay in a regular classroom everyday. Throughout the day, each of them leave for periods (one to three hours) to attend special education classes. On this par­ ticular day, the students didn’t To the Editor: Everyday we learn. At the June 8 Maple Valley School Board meeting, I got the im­ pression from Carroll Wolff’s report that a new program in­ volving two-year-old children was being instituted. It seem­ ed that they would be transported to Charlotte two or three times a week, at a time of day when they would normally be napping, for special education. Now I find that the program is not new. Nor is it mandatory but at the discretion of the parents. Following my statements in last week’s Maple Valley News, I received a call from a highly intelligent and wellspoken couple, Steve and Cay Cates, whose beautiful three and a half year old daughter, Ashley, is a Downs Syndrome child. Instead of berating me for using the word “housebroken”, they told me about the program for very young children at the Eaton Intermediate School District — Meadowview School. Since her birth, she has been visited once a week by a teacher. Cay has learned to continue the training. Since Ashley cannot speak clearly, she has been taught sign language. She makes, for example, the signs for “dog” and “build”, and says the word but not understandably. Later she will be able to talk, and in the meantime, she is neither frustrated nor isolated. She has had to be taught all the movements that normal children do on their own. I was being introduced to a miracle. Through lack of communication, which lack has been the root ofthe foolish controversy ofthe past year, I had not knwon about this ex­ tensive training of the very young. As chairman of the board’s Public Relations Committee, I am going to do more public relating. On another subject, I thank the Maple Valley news for trying to hasten by two years the time when I will be able to report to my Maker. Actually, I am only 73 years old.

After a brief chat on the phone and two longer visits at my home, I can guarantee that she is no longer ignorant ofthe benefits of an early as possible educa­ tion for these children. Mr. Viele, these children have to be taught to creep and crawl and roll over and walk and put things in their mouth. They have to be taught how to do the things that a “normal” child would eventually pick up on their own. Mr. Tobias, ifbeing able to talk was a prerequisite for ad­ mission into a special educa­ tion program then there would be a percentage of students now enrolled at Meadowview who would still be at home waiting for a day that will never come. I feel that any trauma suf­ fered due to separation of a two year old from its parent will be more likely suffered by the parent. These children actually enjoy the learning process and exposure to children their own age and development. They have to be bombarded with mental, visual, and physical stimuli as soon as possible to be able to reach their full potential. After visiting with Mrs. Pino for a few hours, I found a person who is bright, educated, interesting, and in­ terested in our children’s welfare enough to be eager to learn more about them. These are good qualities in a board member, I should think. She has also been exposed to the education process since before Mr. Hubka was bom. I am reminded of an inci­ dent that happened a few years ago when a local woman tried to give her mentally im­ paired child the experience of attending a local co-op nursery school. She was told by the teacher that the other students were suffering due to having to spend extra time with the little girl’s extra needs (feeding, diapering, etc.). When the woman of­ fered to hire a person to tend to these needs at her own ex­ pense, she was told that the other children’s parents wanted her taken out of the program so that their children wouldn’t be exposed to her. I submit, Mr. Hubka, that if you wish to throw a stone at lack of compassion for twoyear-old handicapped children, that there are other more suitable targets in our community than Bea Pino.

I attended the June 8 school board meeting when the issue of the pre-primary program surfaced. Mrs. Pino as well as other board members express­ ed sincere care and concern for these young children. How anyone attending that meeting could perceive their remarks any differently is unreal to me. Mr. Hubka stated, “Mrs. Pino exhibited lack of understanding of and feeling for the responsibility and respect a school board member needs to show and provide to the Maple Valley Special Education students, their parents and citizens of the school district.

The board and Mr. Wolff need to concentrate on the business of running the schools and seeking a new superintendent for the 1988-89 school year. I don’t see how this can be done when fuel is thrown in the fire, as Mr. Hubka is doing by peti­ tioning more recalls.

Unfortunately it took the Revolutionary War to prove that independence. Red blooded Americans everywhere join in celebration of the anniversary of this date each year and rightly so. Celebrating helps to remind us of our heritage; how we came to enjoy the freedoms we have. It helps keep us from getting complacent. (Union members everywhere could take a lesson from this principle). 1976 marked the 200th an­ niversary of the birth of our nation. 1987 marks another 200th anniversary; that of the Constitution of the United States of America. The word constitution in its simplest form means the prin­ ciples for governing a nation. May 25, 1787 representatives of the thirteen colonies met in Philadelphia to draft the Con­ stitution of the United States of America. Less than four months later on September 17, 1787 the document was finished and signed by representatives of each colony except Rhode Island. Less than a year later it had been ratified by eleven of the original thirteen colonies and became law. Phone 945-9554 for ACTION-ADS!

The psalmist originally wrote these words to the Na­ tion of Israel but because of their unfaithfulness to God He later told them He was taking that honor from them and giv­ ing it to a nation that would be obedient and do his will.

Freedom, not from religion nor for worshipping any God one choses but Freedom to worship God, the creator of the universe and to preach the gospel (good news about Jesus Christ) to every creature.

History has shown many democracies that have failed in a lot shorter time than ours has already survived. I believe the reason for our continued existence has been because we have had God at the center of our culture. But lately some of the people in authority in this country have interpreted the first amendment to our great constitution as a freedom from God or to any other religion of a person’s choice. I believe this is the beginning of the crumbling of our national Fann HAY FOR SALE: 1st cutting alfalfa. Also doing custom baling, 1200 lb. round or 65 lb. square bales.

The showdown, a national program sponsored locally by WCUZ Radio and True Value Stores, will be held at 7 p.m. at the grandstand and is free to the public. “We hope to see a lot of fans out there cheering on the local talent,” says Kevin Reynolds, public relations director at WCUZ Radio. Four performances will be made by the top finalists from the local preliminary contests held in Grand Rapids on July 14 and 15, he says. On those two evenings, ap­ proximately 20 acts will per­ form each night at the ChezAmi Lounge on Division Street in Grand Rapids, he says.. Of those, the two top acts from each night will advance to the regional finals at the Barry County Free Fair. The local region takes in Barry, Allegan, Ionia, Kent, Ottawa, Muskegon, Newaygo and Montcalm counties. F^ch of the four acts, either soloists or bands, will give a 20 to 30-minute performance at the grandstand. The show, complete with the four performances and set changes, should last about two hours, Reynolds says. A panel ofjudges - made up of one person each from Believe in Music record stores, the Grand Rapids Press and River City Studios will evaluate the four acts. The finalist will then repre­ sent Western Michigan in the state finals, and the state finalist will advance to na­ tional competition.

The top winner from the Barry County com­ petition will win a 12-hour recording contract with River City Studios, a recording studio in Grand Rapids, he says. Whoever wins the state title will recieve $1,000, and the nation's top finalist wins $50,000 and a recording contract. The competition is a means for amateur artists to gain exposure, says Reynolds. Sweethearts of the Rodeo, a Country/Western group which won the national con- test two years ago, has since released some singles, he says. Thom Ellis of Caledonia won the regional competition two years ago and placed 10th in nationals, says Reynolds. Ellis has since recorded and released some songs and is on tour in the area.

Learning goes on after MSU's College Week ends When College Week began at Michigan State Univesity 60 years ago, women learned how to can pickles and make mattresses. Times have changed, but two things still hold true; College Week continues to deal with relevant social and economic issues and much of what participants learn at College Week is carried back to local communities to share with others. College Week, a four-day experience in informal learn­ ing, was held on the MSU Campus last week. Twentythree residents from Eaton County attended: Lucille Byrd, Doreen Campbell, Mona Ellard, Harriet Estell, Sue Haun, Barbara Skinner, Donna Wood, Ihlene Wilson and Sylvia Colles of Charlotte; Sharon Evenson, Jean Halsey, Maida Hawley, Alys Hoover, Cindy McClure, Betty Palmer and Suzanne Petterson of Eaton Rapids; Mary Fisher of Vermontville; Jeannie Lewis, Louise Ripatte and Lucille Williams ofDimondale; Rosie Milbourne and Glenda Steward of Sunfield and Gloria Rockafellow of Olivet. “Whether a person is in in-­ terested in parenting, financial management, a healthy lifestyle, home computerss or self-development,” says Mona Ellard, Extension home economist, “he or she will find classes of interest at College Week.” Over 1,100 people participated in the College Week activities, sponsored by the MSU Cooperative Extension Service.

This is 65 percent higher than last year’s crop, according to the Federal/State Michigan Agricultural Statistics Ser­ vice. Warm spring temperatures pushed the Michigan crop off to a fast start. Favorable weather during pollination has also helped this year’s crop. Dry weather has caused some concern over small fruit size in the southwest, but otherwise has been beneficial for disease control. There is an estimated 3.6 million bearing trees in Michigan. Michigan’s pro­ duction represents 79 percent of the U.S. total. The crop is currently maturing about two weeks ahead of normal. Michigan has three primary growing regions which are located along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Production in the northwest is forecast at 130 million pounds, up 4 percent from last season. The west central area crop is expected to be 70 million pounds, almost three times higher than last year’s frost affected production. The southwest crop is forecast at 78 million pounds, about four times higher than last season’s poundage. Rounding out Michigan’s crop is an additional 2 million pounds expected for minor growing areas. Harvest is ex­ pected to start about June 22 Wolpe co-sponsoring bill to increase death benefits for survivors of police, firemen Congressman Howard Wolpe announced recently he is cosponsoring legislation to increase to $100,000 the benefit paid to survivors of police officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty. “Congress established the public safety officers’ death benefit at $50,000 in 1976,” Wolpe commented, “but in­ flation has eroded more than half of its value since then. The time has come to restore the full value of the benfit.” In addition to increasing the amount of the benefit to $100,000, the legislation (H.R. 80) would entitle the parents of a fallen officer to receive the payment automatically if there were no surviving spouse or children. The increased costs of the progam would be covered surplus funds that accumulate annual in the Justice Depart­ ment’s Assets Forfeiture Fund. “When a police officer or firefighter dies in the line of duty, nothing can fully com- pensate their families for their loss,” the Michigan lawmaker observed. “But at the very least, we are morally obligated to help relieve their financial burden. H.R. 80 recommits us to fullfilling that obligation.’’ in southwest Michigan, late June in the central area and early July in the northwest. _ Nationally, tart cherry pro­ duction is forecast at 354.2 million pounds, up 58 percent from last year and 24 percent higher than 1985.

The forecast is based on conditions reported by farmers as ofJune 1. The yield forecast is 50 bushels per acre, 5 bushels higher than the yield of the disease-stricken 1986 crop. Acres for harvest are set at 400,000, down 280,000 from last year. The crop was ahead of normal development on June 1. Far below average precipitation in April and May, however, stunted the size of stems and, in some cases, heads. No major disease outbreaks have been reported. The U.S. winter wheat pro­ duction forecast as ofJune 1 is 1.58 billion bushels, 4 percent above 1986 production. Acres for harvest are down 10 per­ cent to 38.9 million acres. The yield forecast, however, is up 15 percent to 40.6 bushels per acre. White winter wheat production for 1987 is forecast . at 196.2 million bushels, down 7 per­ cent from 1986.

The statistics for the last four years are: Secretary of Transportation Elizabeth Hanford Dole announced recently that the 1986 rate for recreational boating accidents was the lowest ever recorded. “In 1986, there were fifty deaths- attributed to recreational boating accidents than in 1985 more boats on the waterways,” Secretary Dole said. “I believe one reason for this positive trend is that people have become more aware ofthe danger posed when they operate their recreational boats under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Also, many are taking advantage of the safe boating programs the Coast Guard offers.” The rate of 6.5 fatalities per 100,000 estimated boats breaks the record law set in 1984 of 6.8. The number of fatalities in 1986 fell 4.5 percent from 19&5, and is only three above the record low of 1984 Fatalities: 1063. Fatality rate (per 100,000 estimated boats): 6.8.

Wayne Wright told council members Thursday. “Once we get the paper­ work out ofthe way, I can see construction getting underway in 30 days,” Wright said. Wright said his company, with offices in Charlotte, Marshall and Hastings, will install a receiving dish on the village water tower for a mon­ thly fee. The receiver will in­ tercept microwave beams from a cable system operating in Charlotte and transfer them via a transmitting box through the television cable to the subscribing units, he said. Wright said his dish will not interfere with other signals in the area. “So I’m not anticipating any problems but I would agree to take it down if there were any problems,” he said. The village first signed a franchise agreement with Triad February 6, 1986 to allow the company to offer cable television within the village limits and again voted Thursday to allow Triad to place its dish on the water tower. Wright said he will need clearance from Consumers Power Company before he can begin stringing cable on the poles. He said his company offers channels 50 from Detroit, 17 in Atlanta, 9 in Chicago, and Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids stations for a monthly fee of $9.50. “As far as I know, that is one of the lowest prices in the Midwest,” Wright said. “I believe in serving the masses instead of the elite that can af- the company to mount the receiving dish on the water tower for a fee of $50 per month and approved an agreement stating that Triad does not hold the village responsible for any damage that may result. In other business, the council announced that violators of several village ordinances are being prosecuted in Eaton County Court. Village President Sue Villanueva said 10 people are in violation ofthe junk vehicle and building materials ordinance, two have obnoxious weeds including^ vacant lot owned by Vermontville Township, two have house trailer violations, two have dilapidated buildings and one person is in violation of three ordinances. Villanueva said the Eaton County Planning Commission is enforcing the two the council $1,000 for proper­ ty owned by the village where dilapidated building a dilapidated building stands. violations.

The commission ss.aid George Hubka who filed the notice had confused the issue of Pino’s vote to deny a grievance by some Fuller Elementary teachers and a comment by Pino that twoyear-olds were “not even housebroken yet” at the June 8 regular board meeting. “They denied it because of the fact that the people might be confused by the two issues which involve two different groups of students in the Two suspected in Reed St. break in Nashville Police Sgt. Gene Koetje takes inventory of the items recovered after the robbery of a barn in Nashville early last month. (Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) Merchandise taken during a June 4 break-in of a bam on 525 Reed Street in Nashville has been recovered by local police, Sgt. Gene Koetje said. Fans, tools,. a rubber raft and various other items were found to have been sold to a pawn shop in Charlotte by two local men suspected in the break-in, police said. Koetje said a witness had observed the two men remov­ ing the goods from the bam, owned by Alan Karlin, and gave police several tips which led them to the suspects. The pair had apparently forced entry to the building which had been secured with padlocks, Koetje said. One of the two men has allegedly confessed to the breaking and entering of an unoccupied building, which is a 10 year minimum felony , Koetje said. Warrants have been issued for their arrests. system,” Hubka said. The commission, said Hubka, also felt Pino should not be singled out for denying the grievance because the remaining board members had concurred. “The thing is, the individual board members don’t decide what the board as a whole does,” he noted. “It is supposed to be a clarity hear­ ing, not a justification hearing and that’s what it was.” Had Hubka’s wording been approved by the commission, it would have been printed on petitions used to determine need for a special recall election. Hubka had claimed in his notice to oust Pino that she “exhibitited a lack of understanding of and feeling for the responsibility and respect a school board member needs to show and provide to the Maple Valley special education students, their parents, and the citizens of the school district. “She did This by her vote to deny a grievance regarding the absence ofa special educa­ tion teacher from Fuller Street Elementary Building during the second semester of the 86-87 school year, and as ex­ pressed through her comment during the discussion about younger special education students when she referred to them as ‘not yet being housebroke’, a term which better fits cats and dogs, not children in the Maple Valley School system.” Pino said she made the com­ ment when referring to twoyear-old babies who are to be transported to a pre-primary program in Charlotte. “What he (Hubka) did was make it seem like there was some connection between special education and twoyear-olds. He made it sound like I said fourth graders were not housebroken,” she said. Pino said she read to the commission the definition of housebroken from Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary which says: 1. adjective — ‘trained to excretory habits acceptable in indoor living. 2. Tractable or polite,’ “which means it’s human,” Pino said. “You can’t teach a cat to be polite.” Hubka, who was absent from the hearing, said he plans to resubmit- his recall notice. “I will definitely state them and number them as two different actions,” he said. Election Commission approves Lehman recall notice In Eaton County’s Cour­ thouse last Tuesday, the elec­ tion commission agreed to ap­ prove wording for petitions that will be used by Hubka to recall Maple Valley School Board trustee Loren Lehman. Hubka said the wording will read identical to that approved by the Barry County Election Commission four months ago. Petitions to recall Lehman were originally circulated in the Maple Valley School District by Marilyn Roush. But after Barry County Clerk Norval Thayler learned the clarity hearing must be held in the county where the recall victim resides, Hubka resum­ ed efforts to recall Lehman by requesting a hearing in Eaton County after Roush announc­ ed she would drop the issue. Lehman has 10 days to ap­ peal the action before Hubka can proceed to ciruclate petitions.

Resident Lee Hill informed the council the skunk problem in the village is escalating and appealed to the board for help. “The skunk problem is bad and getting worse in this town,” he said.

Coordinator of the Maple Valley Chapter of the Viet­ nam Veterans of America W �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, July 7, 1987 — Page 4 Former Supreme Court Justice was born and raised in Nashville As part of Michigan’s sesquicentennial celebration, a display at an open house at Putnam Public Library on July 18 will feature stories of Nashville people who have made a mark in Michigan history. Your reporter has been busy compiling short biographies on various individuals for that exhibit, and during July, in this column, we will share accounts of some of those folks who have helped put Nashville “on the map.” One ofthe first who came to mind when we commenced the research project was William W. Potter, a Maple Grove Township native who went on to become a state supreme court justice. William Potter was bom August 1, 1869, the son of Capt. Lucien B. and Clarinda William W. Potter is seen in this circa-1910 photo at a time he had a law practice in Hastings, where he also served various terms as city attorney, Barry County prosecutor, school board member, and state senator. In 1919, he was appointed to Michigan's newly-formed Public Utilities Commission, which he chaired at the time he announced his candidacy for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in 1924. Hometown folks were big supporters of Potter, who according to The Nashville News, was generally recognized as "the hardest worker among the employees of the state," staying at his office desk long after closing hour at night. Potter. The father had been bom in 1838 in Camillus, New York, and came to Barry County just before the Civil War. His brothers Elbridge, Francis and John and sisters Josephine (Loomis) and Amelia (Willits) also relocated in Michigan. During the war Lucien served as a cavalryman captain in Merrill’s Horse Regiment. On furlough he married Clarinda Louise Trimmer, who was teaching at that time at Marshall, Michigan, but who had previously attended the Ver­ montville Academy. As a wedding present Clarinda’s grandparents gave the newlyweds a farm in Maple Grove Township, and it was there that the couple’s four children (May, William, Frederick and Alice) were bom and raised. (Alice later married Vincent Norton; May remained single). William attended the nearby Norton school at the comer of present-day M-66 and Clover­ dale Road, and continued his education at Nashville High School, graduating in the Class of 1891. He then attend­ ed a summer school at the State Normal College (now Eastern Michigan University) at Ypsilanti to earn a teaching certificate. He then taught at rural schools in Barry County before moving on to Harrison, then a flourishing lumber town in Clare County, where he served as superintendent of schools. He established the first high school in that community. It was at Harrison that he met and married Margaret Richardson, daughter of Charles and Charlotte Richardson. During his years there William “read law” with a local attorney and in i 1894 was admitted to the state bar by Judge Dodds of Mt. Pleasant. William could then have practiced law, but he wanted a law degree. The couple moved to Ann Arbor So he could attend law school at University of Michgian. He received his degree there in 1895, the same year that the Potter’s daughter Louise was bom. In the fall of that year William Potter set up a prac­ tice in Hastings, and it was in that community where the other five Potter children (Doreen, Philip, Charles; Marquerite, and Elizabeth) were bom. Potter and P. T. Colgrove were law partners in Hastings from 1896 to 1919. During that time Potter also served three terms as city attorney; two terms as Barry County prosecutor; was state senator from the 15th district from 1899-1900; and served on the Hastings board of education. _< William Potter was ap­ pointed in 1919 to the newlyformed Public Utilities Com­ mission, according to news accounts, “without solicitation”, by Republican Governor Albert E. Sleeper. Potter later chaired that board. He was still in that post in 1924 when he announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor, stating this platform: “I am for the enforcement of all laws; the establishment of a rural credit system; lower freight rates on farm products; amendment ofthe Transportation Act; economy in all departments of state govern­ ment; extending and maintain­ ing improved highways by moneys to be raised by a tax on gasoline; discontinuing state bond issues, paying as we go, without mortgaging the ftiture; protection of our destructible natural resources; bringing electrical energy to the farm; applying business methods in state business, get­ ting a dollar’s worth for each dollar expended, and building up instead oftearing down our state institutions.” The front page Nashville News story of July 17, 1924, ' announcing Potter’s can­ didacy noted, “Mr. Potter’s ability as an administrator was shown by his work as fuel dictator during the coal shortage of 1922-1934, when he handled the perilous situation to the satisfaction of everyone.. .Mr. Potter is generally recognized as the hardest worker among the employees of the state of Michigan. He can be found without fail at his desk at eight o'clock in the morning and frequently remains in his office long after the closing hour at night.” According to the News ac­ count, Potter’s candidacy was “enthusiastically” received locally and his petitions were escort, to Nashville, where Meeting which, according to a being circulated by his old grave-side services were held. Nashville News account, friends and “very generously Justic Potter was bom there “was a high point in the history of Maple Grove signed.” 70 years ago.” Potter was buried at Wilcox Township.” Potter, observed The News, In his life Potter had played was recognized throughout Cemetery on Cloverdale Road the state as “one or our ablest in Maple Grove Township, as an active role in the annual lawyers and most astutue are his parents; his Trimmer gatherings, known as politicians.

OPEN Monday & Friday 9-4Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday 9-8 — WALK-INS WELCOME — The history of Barry County, and particularly the story of pioneer life in his native Maple Grove Township, interested William Potter, an attorney who rose to prominence in state government and left his mark on Michigan history. Potter, who became state attor­ ney general and later a Supreme Court justice, re- searched local history as a hobby. His definitive work on Barry County's past was published in 1912, about the same era of this photo of Maple Grove Center. Potter was born and spent his boydhood days in the township and graduated from Nashville High School iin 1891. His earliest career was as a rural schoolteacher in Barry County.

I think the people who are suppose to be so well educated should try sitting in on one of the classes when school starts again in the fall. It sure would help them be aware of how bad we need one here in the Maple Valley district and then we wouldn’t have to bus them clear to Charlotte! The reason I sent my child to this program was to get some help for his speech; he hardly spoke more than a few words when he was three. By the time he was in class two weeks, he was speaking short sentences. , The class not only teaches speech but also how to get along well with others. They have planned activities which the children learn many dif­ ferent things. They learned about animals, hospitals, the fire department. Each month they learned a new color. He learned so much more besides. I would rather send my child to a place where I know he would benefit from than to keep him home and baby him SUMMER Hair Cuts .852-0712 .852-9191 .543-0598 .566-8057 .726-0331 .726-1111 852-1867 .852-0858 Mon. 9-1; Tues,, Wed., Thurs., Fri. 9-?; Sat. by Appt. and do more harm by keeping him within himself. I am very grateful for this special program, and I wish I could have had a program like this when I was his age. I’m glad I could give my child a head start before he begins a regular school program. I pray they will keep this pro­ gram in the future for the children who will need it so badly. Sincerely, Rose Spedel Nashville P.S.— I would advise anyone who has a child with a speech problem to send them to this class. The child will benefit so much from it.

SPAN, a free job training program for single parents, homemakers, and low-income women, provides vocational skills training, job placement assistance, and support ser­ vices to participants. The goal ofthe program is to equip par­ ticipants with the personal and training skills they need to enable them to become selfef­ ficient through employment. SPAN is operated through the Womyn’s Concerns Office of the Community Action Agency (CAA). SPAN serves Barry, Branch, Calhoun, and St. Joseph counties and is a cooperative venture between many agencies and communi­ ty organizations. Skills train­ ing is provided at the Calhoun Area Vocational Center, Branch Area Careers Center, Kellogg Community College and Glen Oaks Community College. Support services include group support seminars and workshops, personal counsel­ ing, help with emergency needs (such as food, clothing, and utilities assistance), and a proposed volunteer Advocates Mentor match-up program in Barry County. While child care and transportation pose the two greatest barriers faced by single parents returning to school or looking for employ­ ment, there are other special needs faced by this group. According to Ginger Hentz, CAA Womyn’s Concerns Director, “Single parents entering the program are un­ sure of themselves. They lack self-confidence and are afraid of taking that first step. In Hey Kids! Fuzzy’s FUN ROOM will be OPEN at NOON starting MONDAY JULY 6th SPAN, we try to make them feel comfortable with their choices, and help them set at­ tainable goals for themselves. We try to be there for them every step of. the way, ad­ dressing their day-to-day liv­ ing needs and long range employment goals.” There are no age or income requirements for SPAN. Ap­ plicants need not possess a high school diploma or GED to qualify for the program. In­ dividuals seeking nontraditional career options are given special support in SPAN and are encouraged to apply. Each applicant is given an in-depth interview with a SPAN counselor to determine their special needs, interests, career and employment goals. Career counseling and aptitiude assessment follows. In the past year and a half of its operation, SPAN has serv­ ed over 200 individuals in the areas of training, employment and support services. “SPAN participants are to be given credit for their determination and commitment to succeed in the program,” commented Hentz. ‘‘They have demonstrated great deter­ mination to move from a life style of dependency to economic independence.” Applications for SPAN are available at the Barry County CAA office at 220 W. Court, Hastings. All applications must be received by Aug. 1 to be considered for the fall skills training. Volunteers for the Advocates/Mentors Pro­ gram are welcome.

They’re very patriotic. They love their mother country.” A school teacher at Washington Elementary in Battle Creek, Kalnbach has long enjoyed having free time in the summer to travel. Her last excursion was in Africa two years ago and next sum­ mer Kalnbach hopes to set out for Australia. “I usually try to do something in the sumertime,” she noted. “It’s my time to do something different.” She added that she plans to continue to travel during her free months as long as “I can before I quit work. I want to see Hong Kong before it goes back to Red China. I want to see how it fits into the scheme of things when China takes over.” Red China is expected to take over the British colony of Hong Kong on the southeast coast of China and impose its communist rule on the government in the late 1990s. In Russia, Kalnbach’s group, led by Dr. Malcom B. Campbell of Bowling Green State University, will spend four days in the cities of Moscow, Kishiniv, Vilnius (in Lithuania) and in Leningrad.

The bill, House Bill 4613, would provide a maximum of $100 to homeowners with household income of less than $50,000. It would raise taxes on retirees, lottery winners, members of the armed forces, financial institutions, utilities and Michigan-based insurance companies. It was passed by the House recently on a vote of 60 to 43. This plan is a weak attempt to deceive Michigan property owners who are demanding significant relief. It also sends the wrong signal to job pro­ viders, who will not be en­ couraged to bring capital and jobs to Michigan, nor to retain what is here now. The State Treasurer provid­ ed information showing that only slightly more than onehalf of the households in Eaton County would be eligible for this rebate. There are several gp groups in the Legislature and state government working on major plans to reduce the reliance on the property tax. Some of those studies will also address the key issue of school finance, which the Governor’s plan ignores. We can do better, much bet­ ter, than this. My vote will be there when a genuine property tax relief measure is brought before the House. But I cannot pass off a charade like this to my constituents as my answer to this serious problem. This plan is a band-aid. Major surgery is needed.

Attorney Carol Jones Dwyer, a Nashville resident, has volunteered her services to represent Lehman in the Two arrested for barn break-in near Nashville A Vermontville man who allegedly broke into a Nashville barn and stole a number of items was bound over to Barry County Circuit Court in a preliminary exam Monday. Philip D. Hosey, 10016 W. Vermontville Hwy . is accused of taking fans, tools and other items from a bam owned by Alan Karlin of 525 Reed St. and selling them to a Charlotte pawn shop after the June 4 incident. Hosey, 20, is charged with breaking and entering with in­ tent to commit a larceny and is being held in the Barry Coun­ ty Jail under a $2,500 bond. An alleged accomplice in the break-in, Ben Adams, 19, of 122 S. State St., Nashville was also charged with break­ ing and entering with intent to commit a felony larceny . A July 20 preliminary exam is scheduled to be held in Barry County District Court. He is free oh bond. Breaking and entering charges carry a sentence of 10 years in jail, arresting Nashville officer Sgt. Gene Koetje said. Eaton County Circuit Court appeal against George Hubka, who filed the recall notice, and the election commission, she said. ' “I offered to assist him (Lehman) in. hjs defense against the recall campaign,” said Dwyer.. “I support him personally so I volunteered to do this for him.” Hubka is seeking to unseat Lehman and board members David Hawkins and Beatrice Pino, while Marilyn Roush is pursuing a recall of trustee Dale Ossenheimer. The three school board members com­ prised the board’s policies and athletic committee that coor­ dinated .a December evalua­ tion of Superintendent Carroll J. Wolff. Hubka and Roush claim the men did not correct­ ly follow their own guidelines regarding the evaluation procedure. Hubka is seeking to unseat Pino for comments she made at a June 8 board meeting con­ cerning the education of pre­ primary children. Hubka had’ submitted the notice of intent to recall Lehman to Eaton County Clerk Linda Twitchell last month, filing identical wor­ ding previously approved by the Barry County Election Commission. (Barry County Clerk Norval Thaler later learned the wording must be approved in the county where the recall target resides. As a result, a clarity hearing was held in Eaton County where the language was approved June 30). The law states, said Dwyer, that the individual whose removal from public office is being sought, has 10 days from the commission’s ap­ proval to file an appeal. “I think we have a legitimate reason for objecting to the language,” Dwyer claimed. “It’s not clear in some respects and it’s deliberately misleading in other respects and that’s what we object to especially/’ Barns destroyed by July 5 blaze Cows rescued from the fire graze in a pasture adjacent to where the buildings stood. Efforts are underway by neighbors and relatives of Savilla Yoder to replace two livestock barns destroyed by a July 5 blaze on her Amish farm south of Vermont­ ville. Lumber for the new buildings is shown in the foreground, while rubble from the inferno is shown scattered around The freshly built foundation. by Shelly Sulser Two barns on an Amish farm at 7871 Kinsel Highway near Vermontville were destroyed by a July 5 blaze, believed started by children playing with matches. Vermontville Fire Department Chief Jim Samann said the livestock bams, owned by Savilla Yoder, were reported by a neighbor to be burning at about 1 p.m. and that crews from his department and from Nashville and Charlotte battl­ ed the flames until about 5 p.m. “The building was down when we got there. All that Was standing were burning timbers,” Samarin said. He said Yoder and her sons milk about 30 cows and that all the livestock, along with horses and poultry,- was removed from the barns safely. Only baby pigeons aree believed to have perished in the fire. Firemen also were called to extinguish a fire on the roof of a neighboring residence started by ashes from the bur­ ning barns, Samann said. The four children who allegedly caused the con­ flagration are reported to be Yoder’s grandchildren, Samann said. Relatives and neighbors are currently working to replace the bams. Wording approved by both the Barry County Election Commission and Eaton Coun­ ty Election Commission states: “The reasons stated in the filing (ofthe notice of intent to recall) are as follows; For failure to follow superinten­ dent evaluation procedure cover letter. The cover letter stated: 1. This committee (Board School Policy and Athletic Committee) will compile the evaluation results and meet with the superinten­ dent to discuss, explain, and answer questions about the evaluation. 2. Members ofthe board will see a composite evaluation prior to the time the superintendent receives it. Here is what happened: a. A composite evaluation was hand delivered to the superintendent on a Sunday evening. No meeting was held to discuss, explain or answer questions about he evaluation by this committee as required by the procedure cover letter, b. AU board members did not see a composite evaluation prior to the, superintendent receiving his on Sunday. In fact, one board member did not see his composite evalua­ tion until the following Wednesday evening after the superintendent received his.” “He says ‘no meeting was held with the superinten­ dent,”’ noted Dwyer. “That implies they never tried to schedule a meeting or if they had, the superintendent would have come. I’m sure Hubka knows, and. anybody who reads the paper knows a meeting was scheduled but the superintendent chose to take a leave of absence which made himself unavailable. So it seems deliberately misleading to say they never had a meeting when they tried to schedule one.” Hubka, however, felt the language was clear, he said. “It was approved by two election commissions,” he said. “I guess they thought it was clear or they wouldn’t have approved it. If it’s misleading, someone else will have to decide that.” Dwyer claims in her official notice- of' appeal “That the reasons for recall approved by the Board of Election Com­ missioners and submitted by George Hubka are not suffic’iant clarity to enable Loren Lehman and the electors to identify the course of conduct which is the basis for recall.” In his appeal, Lehman is asking the court to reject the statement of the reasons for recall submitted by Hubka. Lehman, however, refused comment during a telephone conversation. Oral arguments on the case have been scheduled to be heard August 20 in Eaton County Circuit Court before Judge Richard M. Shuster, Dwyer said.

Glasner is the se­ cond in our series ofNashville people who have made a mark on Michigan history, and who will be featured in a special open house display, July 18, at Putnam Public Library to help celebrate the state’s sesquicentennial. Portions of the following story appeared in this column on June 30, 1981, and contain comments by Glasner’s daughters, Lillian Spinning and Helen Glasner, who in 1981 lived in Charlotte but both of whom have since passed away. ---- 0-----Blood tests for prospective brides and grooms in Michigan hark back to legisla­ tion originally proposed by a Nashville man, Henry C. Glasner. An early local merchant, Glasner and his wife, the former Maude Wilcox of Hastings, were pioneers in the movement for passage of the state’s marriage examination license law which went into effect October 29, 1937. That was some 25 years after Glasner, then a state representative from Barry County, had gained national attention by introducing the Michigan's Gov. Woodbridge “Glasner Eugenics Bill” into N. Ferris declared a special “Eugenics Day” in the state. the Michigan House in 1911. “We got the bill through the “Mrs. Glasner dwelt at house and to the floor of the length on her subject, senate, where it was returned Eugenics, which is derived to committee, dying there,” from two Greek words mean­ said Glasner in a 1937 inter­ ing ‘well born,”’ noted the view with the Lansing State Portland Observer in an Oc­ Journal. “In 1913, it received tober 19, 1913, report of her a nice majority in the house, presentation to a standing­ only to be defeated in the room-only crowd which pack­ ed that town’s Carnegie senate by one vote.” Glasner’s daughter Helen, library clubrooms. “While the state provides in 1981, attributed that defeating vote to “an old severe penalties for stock bachelor who had no interest breeders who allow the breed in a marriage law.” She and to detoriate, Mrs. Glasner her sister, Lillian Spinning, declared it was a deplorable recalled their mother’s effors fact that the legislature had to promote passage of the refused to enact laws designed measure which she strongly to preserve the human race and to protect future genera­ supported. In 1913 Maude Glasner tions from the ravages of started on a lecture that car­ hereditary disease.” The Glasner bill would have ried her into more than 300 Michigan cities and villages required all candidates for over a 5-year period. She marriage to produce health spoke on eugenics and various social diseases at women’s clubs, nurses’ association meetings, churches, conferences and to civic organiza­ tions. On one occasion while Mrs. Glasner was on tour, Maude Glasner was an active campaigner for her husband's Eugenics Bill, introduced in 1913. Some 25 years later it became the basis of Michigan's marriage licensing laws. Maude's lecture tour on the subject took her to 300 cities and towns in Michigan over a 5-year period and prompted Gov. Ferris to declare a "Eugenics Day" in the state. Maude authored a book­ let on the topic, and also spoke out in support of prohibition and woman suffrage. In 1923, she earned a college degree in the same class as her older daughter Lillian, seen at right in this circa-1910 photo. certificates from reputable physicians before the ceremony could be perform­ ed. The potential effect of its enactment was the subject of statewide discussions, noted the Portland Observer: “The superintendent of the Kalamazoo hospital for the in­ sane was one of the strongest advocates of the measure, declaring that had such a bill been in effect 25 years ago, the population of Michigan asylumns would today be reduced by at least twenty-five percent.” A staunch Democrat in a rock-ribbed Republican district, Henry Glasner was elected in 1910 as a represen­ tative from Barry County. He had made one earlier unsuc­ cessful bid for the seat. Glasner became one of twelve Democratic members of the House of Representatives in 1911 and soon earned the respect of Republicans. The late Charles S. Osborn, then governor, referred to Glasner as “the watchdog of the state treasury,” because of the Nashville man’s objection to uhnecessary spending and the raising, of salaries. A self-made man, “He believes there is too Nashville merchant Henry much useless expense in the C. Glasner’s political plat­ administration of state af­ form was to cut state government spending, thus fairs,” said an October, 1908 Nashville campaign article on lowering taxes. Gov. Glasner. “He believes there is Charles Osborn called him too much money spent by the the "watchdog of the state legislature for things that do treasury," after Glasner was elected to the Michigan the people no good whatever and that the people’s interest House of Representatives could be better conserved by in 1911. His election as a cutting down the expenses and Democrat in a rock-ribbed thus lessening taxes.” Republican district was Glasner, added The News, attributed to Barry County was a man of the common voters' high regard of his people, one who had made integrity and dedication. himself what he was by hard Glasner had two terms in knocks and a strict adhereance the house, one in the to honesty.

G,sner G,°sner can be seen on the sign above the door of his general store iust riaht of “He liked his politics pretty much,” said Helen. “And he believed in cutting taxes and cutting down on expenses.” On a personal level the two sisters recalled their father as a tall, blue-eyed, rather serious natural man who loved to sing in Nashville’s Methodist Church choir. Evenings he would load his daughters and thei-r neighborhood chums into his 1909 Mitchell for an exciting spin around the mile at Stand­ pipe Hill (Putnam Park). The Glasner family lived on the southeast corner of the Cleveland and Gregg streets intersection, in the presentday Ohm home. Henry Glasner was bom in 1872 in Johnstown Township, the son of Charles and Catherine Glasner. He resided with his parents for about 15 years, then a “yearning to an­ nex an education took hold of him and he started out for Bat­ tle Creek, with his red-topped boots and flannel shirt, to at­ tend school,” noted a 1908 Nashville News account of Glasner’s life. “His parents were poor and he was compelled to earn his way through school, and clerked in a store nights, mor­ nings and Saturdays for his board.” After attending Battle Creek High School, he secured a certificate and com­ menced teaching district school for $16 a month. About four years later he went to work for W.P. Thompson in a store at Lacey. By age 21, Henry had saved enough of.his earnings to buy a lot in that hamlet and he bor­ rowed $400 to build a store of his own. “It was a hefty store but he commenced business there nevertheless, on his own hook, with $150 worth of goods, some debts and a will that has brought him suc­ cess,” added the • 1908 Nashville News piece. Glasner also served as postmaster of Lacey until he sold the store about four years later and moved to Nashville. “Henry Glasner, as ex-, emplary young man from Lacey, has bought the R. Mayo store building and grocery on South Main Street and within a few days will open for business,” observed The Nashville News in early April,, 1898. “The stock belonged to Marshall & Reynolds. Glasner ran the local store two years, sold out to Truman Navue, and went to Center­ ville where he owned and operated a store for about a year. He then returned to Nashville, bought out Navue, and rebuilt the business when it burned shortly after the 1901 transaction. “It was firecrakers in the front window that started the fire,” recalled daughter Lillian, who remembered hearing tales of the mishap as a child. In 1908 Glasner sold a half­ interest in his store (located in what in 1987 is Fuzzy’s Fun Room) to Maple Grove native Herman Maurer, who had been on the staff of what now is Central Michigan Univeris- ty at Mt. Pleasant. In 1909 Maurer bought out Glasner’s interest and continued to operate the store for more than 25 years, retiring in 1936. Meanwhile, Glasner pur­ sued his public service career. In addition to his tenure in the state house, he served as Nashville postmaster from 1914-22; held the office of Barry County deputy sheriff; was a member of the county Board of Commissioners; was Nashville village assessor for two terms; was a member of the local Board of Education, and chairman of the county Democratic committee. In 1922-23 Glasner took his wife and two daughters on a 10-month auto tour of America, visiting all but two of the 48 states in a journey that totaled nearly 14,000 miles. It was quite a remarkable excursion for those days, and periodic ac­ counts of the adventure were written by Maude Glasner for publication in The Nashville News under the heading, “On the Long Trail.” Although Maude had been an early schoolteacher by cer­ tificate, she had left school in the 11th grade. When they returned from the trip she took classes to earn her diploma at Nashville High School in 1923, the same year that daughter Lillian graduated. Three years later mother and daughter made news again, graduating together at Olivet College. In 1923, Henry Glasner was hired by A. & P. Tea Com­ pany to manage a store in Lansing, then later he was transferred to stores at Bellevue and Charlotte. At the time his wife and daughter earned their degrees at Olivet College, Henry was manager of the Nashville Co-operative Elevator. While living in Charlotte in 1932, Glasner was elected as state senator from the 15th district in the sweeping Democratic landslide of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Glasner served in the Michigan senate during the 1933-34 term under the ad­ ministration of Democratic Gov. William A. Comstock. As a senator, Glasner’s philosophy had not changed. “He was a firm advocate of tax cuts and pay-as-you-go fiscal policy,”., noted the Democratic ticket, polling around 57,000 votes even though he did little campaigning. In later life Glasner headed the real estate division of the corporate and securites com­ mission and was a Charlotte real estate broker. Maude Glasner preceded her husband in death, passing away April 18, 1940. Farm HAY FOR SALE: 1st cutting alfalfa. Also doing custom baling, 1200 lb. round or 65 lb. square bales.

In the first game of the series, Cerny’s team took Dennis Krueger’s, also from Vermontville, by. a score of 8-7. In the following playoff, Vermontville bested the Sun­ field Hot Shots 15-15. In the final game of the all-day event, Vermontville defeated Woodland 12-6. According to Cerny, the team had won only two games all season. “By the time the tournament came, they finally got it all together. They played very well. It was a true team effort,” he said. In recounting memorable plays, Cerny was impressed with Preston White who caught a timely fly ball to end an inning, Brian Hopkins who played shortstop extremely well and Wayne Moore who did some fine hitting and fielding. “Then we can’t forget Bryon Horton’s home run at the top of the fifth in the se­ cond game. Everyone played so well. We are very proud of each one of them. They all deserved the first place rib­ bons they received,” said Cerny. Cerny also noted the efforts of all the parents involved and the additional coaching of­ fered by Bill Bailey and Roy Stickles. “We are fortunate to have understanding and cooperative parents on the team. We also had our own ‘team doctor,’ Janice Bailey, who was always there to tend the wounded.

Fiber craftsmen will submit entries made of fiberous materials to be displayed in a special booth and judged against other similar entries, says Eunice Recker, chairman of the Fiber Arts show. “We are trying to provide examples and inspire people with finished products so as to show them ways of using the raw materials they see around them at Fiberfest,” says Recker. Fiberfest, now in its fourth year, is a unique celebration of natural fibers and the animals which produce them. Dates for this year’s festival are August 14 and 15 at the Barry County Free Fairgrounds. Many of the booths at Fiberfest sell fleeces, yam, .hides and roving, says Recker, and some people might look at those items and say “ ‘great, but what would I do with it?’ ” The fiber arts show is a way of showing visitors how they can use the raw materials readily available at the annual festival. Because this is the first year of the Fiber Arts Show, she does not know how many en­ tries will be submitted, but hopes to get a variety of ar­ ticles, including clothing, rugs, wall hangings, table runners and other decorative items. The entries will be divided into five categories — knitted, crocheted, woven, felted and hide articles. The criteria for judging in­ cludes originality, design, col­ or use, technical expertise and integrity, says Recker. For last year’s fashion show, many people modeled “elaborate” jackets and other items made with original designs, and she hopes to see similar projects in the fiber art show. Judge of the show will be Nancy Morey of New York who has had a booth at Fiberfest in previous years and has experience in judging -and giving demonstrations, Cash premiums will be given to the top placer(s) in each category, with the amount of premiums depen­ ding on the number of entries in each category, says Recker. Some or all of the items could be for sale, depending on whether the owners wish to part with their art projects, she says. Anyone wanting more in­ formation on the show can contact Recker at 2760 Wing Road, Hastings, MI 49058.

There was a misinterpreta­ tion of one comment. I’m not afraid of the prox­ imity to Kiev while in the U.S.S.R. I am, however, afraid of what nuclear radiation and a possible war would do to our planet. (Can you imagine a Lt. Col. Oliver North in charge of the nuclear button?) I am scared to death of the war-monger in the White House. Please contact your congress person today and urge them to stop the ‘reflagg­ ing’ of Kuwaite ships and start the wheels for talks on unilateral disarmament. Oh yes, also keep track of the trail of ‘law-level’ nuclear wastes that soon will be transported from a five state area and are to be buried here. No wonder our motto is ‘Say Yes to Michigan.’ You bet I’m scared. More of us, than them! Jan Kalnbach To the editor: I would like to comment on several issues which should concern Nashville people: I’d like to know if it is up to the Village Council, only, to decide that the town needs a new police office and village garage, or should it be an issue be put to a vote by village residents?

Trustee Marsha Ainslie, also a member of the village’s Lakeview Cemetery Board noted the board would like to put restrictions on the types of articles that can be placed on gravesites.' The council con­ sented to the board’s plans to adopt the new rules. Village President John Hughes noted the village will settle for $700 from United Parcel Service for the loss of a communications radio that had been sent out for repairs. The village had originally sued for $1,865 in damages but because the village had misaddressed the package, agreed to settle for the lesser amount, he said. Hughes also noted work done on Main Street in Nashville was performed by the Michigan Department of Transportation at no cost to the village. The MDOT in­ stalled handicap ramps on the downtown corners near the Quaker Brook bridge and worked to reconstruct the ag­ ing storm sewer on Church Street. Paving of a portion of Main Street is also scheduled, said MDOT Inspector Dan Pratt.

The Eaton County Fair Board understands that for senior citizens, it can seem like a long distance from one exhibit to another, so this year you will find a few more resting places for your relaxation. The senior citizens program begins at 10:30 a.m. with registration taking place at 10 a.m. in the Community Tent, located on the East Side of the grandstand. The morning pro­ gram involves two different types of entertainment. First, Rev. Jack Lancaster from the town of Clinton, will entertain fairgoers with his baritone voice while he demonstrates his artistic talents through painting. His painting will be given away later in the day as a door prize. The second program of the morning, inspired by our Michigan’s Sesquicentennial celebration, brings Herbert Dunsmore from Ionia to the fair. Herbert is a collector of old tools that were once used to build the large hipped-roof bams. He will show the tools and talk about the vanishing landscape — as our older bams are slowly removed from landscape and heritage. The afternoon program begins at 1 p.m. in the Com­ munity Tent, with the har­ monious sounds of a barber- shop quartet called “Just In Time,” followed closely by the annual Senior Citizens Award Assembly. At the assembly this year, citizens will be honored in four categories; those that own centennial farms, the oldest active farmer, the 50-year members of the Eaton Association of Extension Homemakers and the oldest adult 4-H volunteers still ac­ tive in the county 4-H program. Aforest fire could hit you right where you live. Living near a forest means you have to be extra cautious about forest fires. Firesafe your area by clearing brush around your home and planting fire retardant vegetation. Use spark arrester screens on chimneys and vents. Install fire retardant material on roof and exposed understructure. And don’t burn trash or leaves. These simple precautions could save your home and more importantly, your life. Remember, only you can prevent forest fires 4th of July traffic deaths are lowest ever reported in state Ten people died in fatal traffic accidents over the Fourth of July holiday weekend according to reports received by the Michigan State Police. This is the lowest fatality count for a seventy eight hour Fourth of July weekend ever reported in Michigan. Officials caution however that this is provi­ sional and that reports of delayed deaths could change the count.

Rich Davis, State Police director said that he believes that Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Acci­ dent Reduction Effort) had a significant impact on the weekend. Davis said, “We had some 259 troopers who worked 1508 hours of addi­ tional traffic patrol while a total of 6703 hours were spent on traffic patrol throughout the state.” He also reported that troopers wrote nearly 8400 traffic citations. Nearly 4900 of these were for speed violations, 661 for seat belts not in use and 186 arrests were made for drunk driving. Not entirely without com­ passion, the troopers issued more than 5000 verbal warn­ ings and assisted more than 1500 motorists in distress. Last year, 23 people died in 23 fatal accidents.

Nashville, Vol. 115 - No. 52 — Tuesday, July 21. 1987 Maple Valley School Board to rebid roofing project by Shelly Sulser After receiving notice of court action filed against them, the Maple Valley Board of Education agreed to recind a motion to pay Norm Davis roofers of Hastings over $140,000 and to rebid the repair project. The board was informed by attorney David Tripp of Hastings that a mandamus order was filed in Eaton County Circuit Court by War­ ren Arnold of Amar Roofing of Hastings who claimed the board had not followed state law when first bidding the project. Arnold had first threatened to sue the board for illegal bidding procedures but in­ stead requested an order by the court that the board follow state law. At the July 13 board meeting, Superintendent Car­ roll Wolff concurred he had not followed state law when letting bids for roof repairs to the Junior-Senior High School and Fuller Street Elementary School buildings. Wolff ad­ mitted he had not advertised for bids in the local newspaper and that the bids obtained were opened previous to the board meeting. “There was a violation of Michigan law in this case,” Wolff said at the meeting. “It was not in the paper for two weeks and the bids were not opened at the meeting, which was an oversight on my part.” Wolff went on to apologize for the “mistake” and urged the board and the citizens to look forward instead of back to past errors. However, Carol Jones Dwyer, an attorney who lives in Nashville, pointed out in a prepared statement at the meeting that -“...what the superintendent has been doing is against state law and he could be sent to jail for 90 days for it.” She added that the purpose ofthe law is to protect the tax­ payers money and noted that when the job of constructing or repairing a school building is expected to cost over $10,000, the district must folldw " Competitive bidding procedures... that way, we can protect against a school official who just tells his friends about it and only gives them a chance to win the contracts.” She went on to say, “what a lot oftrouble you might poten­ tially have gotten us all into! What if the losing contractor sues and wins? That could cost the taxpayers a lot of money. What ifyou try to cor­ rect your blunder by rescin­ ding the contract, but the win­ ning bidder has already bought supplies and so forth, and he sues and wins?! More taxpayers money down the drain. Wouldn’t it have been easier and cheaper for all ofus if you’d just followed policy in the first place?” The board voted to recind the action to accept the Norm Davis bid, originally approv­ ed at the June 8 board of education meeting. Wolff said if Davis does not get the bid, he will be reimbursed for his expenses in purchasing sup­ plies. The board also agreed According to attorney Carol Dwyer, a resident of to advertise for bids for two Nashville, the superintendent and board could have weeks in the Maple Valley spent time in jail for violation of bidding guidelines.

There was also considerable discussion concerning fees for legal services rendered to the board, with trustee Ron Tobias questioning the pay­ ment of a $4,216 bill. Bea Pino also expressed concern about the legal expenses. “I don’t for a minute want to say citizens don’t have a right to take take legal action against the board or recall members but if we go through recall, it could cost $12,000 to $15,000. Hubka litigation is costing us about $6,000 and the concerned citizens cost us $2,200,’’ Pino said, estimating total cost to the board at about $20,000. “And that comes out of our taxes and takes away from the children. But I reiterate, everybody has a right to do it.” The board retained a lawyer on more than one occasion when the Concerned Citizens for Responsible School Board Action questioned the board about a December evaluation of Superintendent Carroll Wolff. Lawyers services are also being used to defend the board in a suit filed by George Hubka to obtain individual evaluation documents used by board members to compile the composite evaluation summary. A lawyer also accompanied former president David Hawkins to a meeting with Eaton County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Jeff Sauter concer­ ning a complaint filed by George Hubka regarding an alleged secret revolving door board meeting supposedly SCHOOL BOARD, cont. page 12 Vermontville “Hometown Days” set for this weekend Marilyn MacKenzie. nam Veterans of America will raise the flag at village hall at 10 a.m. A potluck lunch is schedul­ ed to kick-off at 1 p.m. in the park where the United Methodist Men will sell barbeque sandwiches and coffee.

NashvHle, Tuesday. July 21. 1987 — Page 4 First auto-bus line established by Nashville resident The third subject in our series of Nashville people who have made a mark in Michigan history is Roy Wolf. He was featured in an article that first appeared in this column on June 6, 1981, and portions of that piece are included in the following account. Wolf is credited with establishing the first auto-bus line in the United States, in the form of a Model-T jitney that made regular runs from Nashville to Battle Creek. His earliest route ran from here to that city via Vermontville and Bellevue. Later, Wolf extend­ ed service to Union City and Coldwater. “He would make two (round) trips a day,” recalled the late Kenneth (Ted) Mix of Nashville in a 1981 interview. “He made one trip in the fore­ noon and one in the after­ noon. Mix remembered Wolf by the nickname of “Bunty.” Riders in Wolf’s 8 passenger jitney often were drummers, the common term for traveling salesmen who called on area merchants. “I don’t recall that his clientele was too big, but he had some regular riders,” remembered Nelson Brumm of Nashville in 1981. Mrs. Kenneth Mix, the former Vada Hummel), recalled the time when her parents, the late Jim and Mary Jane Hummel of Nashville, rode Wolfs jitney to Camp Custer near Battle Creek to visit their son. Guy, who was stationed there during World War I. Others rode Wolfs bus to shop in the city or to keep ap­ pointments remembered Brumm. “Back in those days, a lot of traders didn't have autos,” noted Mix. The late Vem Staup of Nashville recalled that era in a 1981 interview: “There wasn’t much hitchhiking in those days. Ifyou started out, you generally walked all the way.” Wolfs entry into commer­ cial transportation happened quite by chance, as a spin-off of his primary occupation as a truck farmer. “The way he got started in the business,” explained Mix, “was that he used to peddle his vegetables in the city and people here wanted to ride along all the time, so he started the jitney route.” Mix could not recall the price of a fare, but Wolf may have found hauling passengers to be more profitable than hauling produce, for he soon concentrated his efforts on the bus service. Wolf had raised garden pro­ duce on his home place, located one mile south of Nashville on the east side of what is now M-66. That place (now most commonly remembered as the former Walter Kent residence) was the homestead of Roy’s parents, Daniel and Cynthia (Lapham) Wolf, who also resided there at the time their son started his jitney line. As a young man Roy had railroaded through norhtem Michigan, worked in lumber camps, and was considered quite a rough and ready lad, until tragedy struck. “He lost his right arm at the shoulder when he was only 22 years old.” noted a Nashville News piece published in 1943. “He was a fireman on the Pere Marquette R.R. at the time and was emptying an/ ash pan from a moving train when he stumbled on the cat­ tle guards, fell to the tracks and caught his arm under the wheels.” After the accident Roy gave up railroading. A year or two later he was “converted,” noted a News article publish­ ed in December 1950, and “did outstanding mission work in northern Michigan.” Roy cam from a strong Christian background; his maternal grandparents were Eli and Rachel Lapham, Quakers who in 1837 were original settlers of Maple Grove Township. Wolf was ‘.’pretty religious,” remembered Ken­ neth Mix. “He used to go around and preach at different gatherings.” Mix recalled that Wolf was a husky man, short but stocky and very sturdily built. Despite his one-arm handicap, Wolf is remembered by many Nashville folks as a “very good driver.” Some have commented that Roy drove better with one arm than most others did with two. In later years Roy Wolf wrote an interesting autobiogrpahy, which he published under the title of “A Wolf Tamed.” Roy Wolfs jitney service was based in Nashville for on- When Roy Wolf started a bus service from Nashville to Battle Creek in 1913, he had the millionaire s key to success: "Find a need and fill it." His jitney became the first automobile bus line in the USA, making regular runs twice daily, summer and winter if roads were clear. The route developed as a sideline to his local truck farming operation. Roy, who lost his right arm railroading at age 22, is seen here about 1916 with his wife. Hazel, and daughters Winnifred and Jane. He was noted for his super patriotism; USA flags flew from the front of his ririg. The Wolf home, remembered now as the former Walter Kent place, was the birthplace of the jitney service. It was here that Roy produced the garden crops that led to the bus line. Roy is seen (at left) with his parents, Daniel and Cynthia Wolf. The family homestead was located a mile south of Nashville on the east side of South Clark Road (M-66). The Daniel Wolfs also had a daughter, Minnie. ly about five years, commenc­ ing in 1913. He relocated to Coldwater in 1918 with his wife, the former Hazel Atkins of Assyria, and daughters Winnifred and Jane. Roy’s father, Daniel, died in 1916 and later his mother sold the Nashville homestead. Sometime before the move to Coldwater, Wolf took a part­ ner into his jitney business. He teamed up with Wesley Wurst, a young man who had grown up in the Castleton district north of Nashville. Wurst also relocated to Col­ dwater. It is unclear exactly how long that partnership lasted, but according to published ac­ counts, Wolf was involved with the jitney line for approx­ imately ten years after the move to Coldwater. “About 1928, when Inter­ State bus lines had become well established, he sold his business,” noted The Nashville News in a 1943 piece about Wolf, “and engaged in truck farming until 1936.” The super patriotism of Roy Wolf is one of his most well remembered traits when Nashville folks speak of the early bus line founder. Nelson Brumm recalled the miniature American flags that traditionally decorated the front of Wolfs jitney. Mr. Mix sumed it up: “He was quite a patriotic fellow.”. In 1917, during World War I, the Battle Creek Evening News told the story this way: “So strongly does Roy Wolf, driver of a jitney bus service from Nashville to Coldwater, thru Battle Creek, feel about the war that he refuses to let any passenger ride who voices any criticism of America.

That portion should have read: “As senator, Glasner’s philosophy had not changed. ‘He was a firm advocate of tax cuts and pay-as-you-go fiscal policy,’ noted the Lansing State Jour­ nal at the lawmaker’s death May 18, 1949. , “In 1936, Glasner had been an unsuccessful candidate for lieutenant-governor on the Democratic ticket polling around 57,000 votes, although he did little campaigning.” Also, his daughters recalled Glasner as a “serious natured man,” not a “serious natural man,” as appeared in that article.

State St. 852-0882 It’s the hottest part of the year, known as the summer doldrums; a time when we are mainly preoccupied with just trying to keep cool, and otherwise doing as little as possible. However, this is not the time to neglect your faith, but rather to seek a little spiritual refreshment. In fact, your House of Worship is likely to be as cool inside as any place you could go; and with so many people away on vacation, your presence there will be appreciated more than ever. If you have friends or relatives visiting you, or even some friendly neighbors, take them along; it will undoubtedly be a very enjoyable and worthwhile experience for them. Just remember that faith is never out of season, and that God is there all year ‘round, to offer the helping hand of His wisdom and guidance. You have only to reach out for it, no matter what it may say on the calendar or the thermometer. 852-9728 GOODTIME PIZZA nly wluit's done for Clirisl 11 ;?< Only one life—will soon hepost TT REMEMBER THAT THE SEASON OF FAITH IS ALL THE YEAR ‘ROUND Trowbridge Service - AUTO SERVICE CENTER 130 S.

Together with his wife, Arline, Hale has decorated the homes of dozens of area residents with his fine han­ diwork in the form of hope chests, schoolhouse clocks and shaker peg shelves. For three of his four children, his talent is captured for years to come in the craftmanship of their homes.

Hale is a former Oldsmobile toolmaker and after 10 years ofretirement, is still enjoying opportunities to practice his hobbies. Arline has free time to put her skills to work now that the family is grown. Arline has focused her at­ tention on country style pain­ ting on wood items and oil portraits on canvas. But you won’t find their products at any craft show, except when attending the Vermontville Home Town Days this Saturday and Sun­ day. Hale and Arline are just two of more than a dozen ar­ tists and craftspeople whose wares will be on display in the fellowship hall of the Ver­ montville United Methodist Church. Selling their crafts by word of mouth is all that they need to keep them busy, they admit. “We don’t like to do craft shows,” Arline explains. “We get a lot of people that come to us and want things. That keeps us busy enough.” “I get a lot of repair jobs from local people,” Hale pointed out. Each has nurtured their in­ terests in crafting for years.

July 21. 1987 — Page 7 The couple has passed their interests and talents on to their children and now to their grandchildren. Special orders don't upset Hale Hokanson who recently completed this floppy disk cabinet for a customer. frames to stereo cabinets, but he is also responsible for building and designing his home at 7776 Granger Road. Hale took woodworking classes in school, while Arline was an active 4-H member in the sewing and foods categories. “They didn't have crafts in 4-H then,” says Arline who later became a craft leader in the Bismark 4-H club. Noting her interest has blossomed instead of waned over the years, she says, “I think you’re just bom with it.” One might be led to believe that statement after seeing the results of the couple’s childrens’ and grand- children’s puttering. Daughter Paul Cole’s dab­ bling has mushroomed into virtual fame. She is the author of two basket weaving books. Oldest son, Gary, is a graduate of Kendall School of Design in Grand Rapids and is now 'vice president of American of Martinsville in Virgina, where he designs furniture. “Lyle (another son) can do just about anything. Just like his father. He’s just as good or better,” chuckles Arline. And Loa makes bears, bear clothing, does cross stitching, calligraphy and sewing. Each year, the family gathers their variety of crafts together in one room, and calls it Christmas in the Coun­ try. The public is invited to at­ tend the family show, held at the Gresham Town Hall the first weekend after Thanksgiving. “The children all work toward that,” says Arline. The couple’s third genera­ tion offspring is already prac­ ticing woodworking, finishing and building. With a house filled with dolls, bears, pictures, calligraphy, baskets, finely made cabinets, hutches and clocks, Arline realizes if it weren’t for the family-wide talents, her house would look a bit dull. “I’d have bare walls!” Arline enjoys several different kinds of crafts like oil painting and country style crafts. flwrnTnrnnnnnTnTTnnnnTnnffnnTnnnTnnrnTnnnnniT Vermontville news ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................

Please patronize Vermontville Hardware in our absence. [r\n h Ahardware SaHrVdIwLLaEre r 1 sporting * I] Cg/ This parade used the theme “Lake Odessa 100 Years Ago”. Many of the floats carried the theme with such ideas as: a barber shop scene, opera house, or farm loads of beans in burlap bags pulled by a team of horses. Most parade participants wore long dresses and bonnets or farmer pants “bibs” with flannel shirts and straw hats. It was cool and cloudy the first of July but that scene soon changed. Our next parade was in Mulliken on Ju­ ly 11 and it was warm and sunny! This parade was “short and sweet”. The had three other queens par­ ticipating in the parade besides us: the Mulliken Homecoming Queen, the Ionia Free Fair Queen, and the Charlotte Frontier Days Queen. As you can see there were many different towns represented in their parade. The next day, July 12, we went to Chesaning for the Showboat parade. I was amaz­ ed at the size of this parade. Their line-up consisted of ap­ proximately 120 entires. The floats were beautifully decorated and the people were extremely friendly. We had the opportunity of meeting this year’s Miss Michigan. Her name is Kaye Lani Rafko and she is from Monroe. She said that she had been competing in pageants for six years. I am looking forward to watching her com­ pete on television at the Miss America Pageant in September. 105 N. MAIN ST., NASHVILLE, Ml.

Hubka claims the board violated the open meetings act when several members ap­ peared at the Central office at different times at the request of Kellogg-Fuller Elementary Principal Joy Frith’s husband, Tom Frith. Frith had ap­ parently wanted the members to intervene in a conflict bet­ ween his wife and Wolff, Hawkins said at the meeting, Pino said later. “At no time were there more than three members there together,” she said in a telephone interview. She add­ ed Sauter has requested affidavids of the events of that day from each ofthe members involved. In addition, Hubka is in­ itiating a recall effort against board members Hawkins, Lehman and Pino, while Marilyn Roush is seeking to unseat new president Dale Ossenheimer. The men are being recalled for their part in the evaluation and Pino for alleged unfavorable comments. Pino claims that because the recall petition language is be­ ing approved at different times and one is being appealed, it could cause the district to hold eight separate special elections: four to unseat the members and four to replace them. As a result, she expects recall to cost the board $12,000 to $15,000. and “Back on the legal fees, there was not board action to approve this stuff,” said new treasurer Jerry Brumm. “Carroll follows lawyers advice every day and it doesn’t come back to the board (for approval) at any time,” Lehman noted. Ossenheimer agreed, saying “I don’t personally recall any personnel matter or whatever being brought to the board. It is automatically defended.” Lawyers Mike Farrell and Don Bonato of the Thrun, Maastch and Nordberg firm in Lansing have been represen­ ting the board. Wolff said the board does not vote annually to retain a legal firm, and that only the board president and the superintendent have the authority to request the lawyers’ services. ' Board members Bea Pino, Loren Lehman, David Hawkins, Charles Viele, Dale Ossenheimer and Jerry Brumm voted to accept the bills payable, including the lawyers bill, while Ron Tobias voted no. In other business, the board voted to appoint Dale Ossenheimer as the new president of the board, replacing David Hawkins. Loren Lehman was elected vice president for a second year, while’ Bea Pino was named secretary and Jerry Brumm treasurer.

Betz Agriculture Agent The effects of summer heat stress on swine - particularly the effects on reproductive efficiency are a concern shared by all Michigan producers. Producers may need to use cooling methods to prevent reproductive inefficiency in gilts being introduced into the breeding herd, as well as to maintain adequate reproduc­ tive efficiency of postpartum sows and boars, says Andy Thulin, MSU Extension swine specialist. “Research has shown that heat stress of gilts and sows during at least the first 16 days after breeding can greatly reduce initial pregnancy rate and final farrowing rate,” Thulin says. “Sows that do become pregnant during heat stress may have smaller litters because of increased death of developing embryos. In addi­ tion, lactating sows im­ mediately respond to heat stress by reducing voluntary feed intake, which can result in sow weight loss, reduced milk production, reduced pig weaning weights and subse­ quent rebreeding problems.” Because boars are con­ tinuously producing sperm, they need to have a cool en­ vironment 24 hours a day, Thulin says. A stressed boar can take from four to 15 weeks to regain normal fertili­ ty, depending on the boar and the severity, duration, time of year and frequency of stess. ‘‘High ambient temperatures may also reduce a boar’s mating activity,” Thulin adds. “And, with pen mating, there is generally no control against boar overuse. If the effects of heat stress — reduced sperm number and motility — are coupled with overuse effects reduced sperm numbers and volume — the end result is a decreased farrowing rate and litter size.” To help prevent some of these problems associated with heat stress, Thulin recommends that producers who keep hogs outdoors pro­ vide plenty of shade — about 15 to 20 square feet per sow or boar. Also, the animals’ evaporative cooling capacity can greatly increase when their skin surface is wetted. Producers have used this cool­ ing method for many years, providing wallows or sprinkl­ ing water on growing swine, Thulin says. Foggers or misters and sprinklers are widely used, but air move­ ment is critical to these systems because the water must evaporate from the skin surface to effectively cool the pig. Thulin suggests controll­ ing sprinkler Systems with timers set on 30-minute cycles so the sprinkler goes on for 1 to 2 minutes, then turns off for 28 to 29 minutes. This type of cooling process has been ef­ fective in reducing heat stress in hog buildings. Be sure that if you use foggers or misters, you provide adequate ventilation in the building. Improper ventilation can allow the relative humidi­ ty in the barn to increase and actually compound, rather than relieve, heat stress problems. Research has shown that drip cooling using drip irriga­ tion systems is an inexpensive and efficient way to cool sows in farrowing houses that have partially slotted floors. The drip line should be located on top of the crate so it drips on the shoulders and neck area of the sow. Adjust the flow rate to between 2 and 3 quarts of water per hour per emitter. Thulin says that drip irriga­ tion systems typically are con­ trolled by a thermostat and solenoid valve set to operate When the temperatue exceeds 80 degrees F. The following companies sell complete drip irrigation systems and equip­ ment for producers who do not wish to make their own: • W.A. Westgate Com­ pany, 412 G St., P.O. Box 445, Davis, CA 95617.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Vol. 116 - No. 1 — Tuesday, July 28, 1987 Nashville property owner disgruntled about water collection by Shelly Sulser Nashville property owner Dennis Walker asked the Nashville Council Thursday to take legal action against a former resident whose delin­ quent water bill has been add­ ed to Walker’s summer taxes. The man, who owes $53 for water service in the village, lived in a home Walker had sold to him,on a land contract. “I’ve been told if I don’t pay his water bill, it goes on my taxes,’’ Walker told coun­ cil members. “Am I to pay this man’s bill?” Village President John Hughes stated that anytime there is a default in payment, the owner of the property becomes responsible for any due bills uncollected. Walker felt he was not responsible for the delinquent water bill and noted he had not been billed for the unpaid amount. He also questioned whether an ordinance exists that specifies what action is to be taken when bills are un­ collectable. Hughes admitted there are no written guidelines as to how the village receives its money. “We don’t have one that says ‘this is how we get the money,”’ he said. Hughes said there is an or­ dinance, however, that states when a resident continues to be delinquent in payment, the water is shut off after two months. “We have taken some to small claims court to collect bills,” he said. According to state law, the ”lfs not the money. It’s the principal of the thing...why should I collect the village's money?” property owner is liable for the bill, Hughes said. Walker said he had con­ sidered paying the bill and su­ ing the man himself, but decided it was not his duty to spend time and money to col­ lect the money due the village, he said. “It’s not the money. It’s the princpal of the thing... why should I collect the village’s money?,” he said. “Do you have private citizens go out and collect on bills for you?” Eaton, Barry Fair winners named For additionalphotos and story turn inside this issu Hope Bivens, left, had the grand champion Holstein and the grand champion dairy female and Joel Butler was the junior champion and was first in in­ termediate showmanship.

In other business, the coun­ cil discussed the amount of money needed to build a new police office and garage next to the existing village hall. Hughes stated the village should borrow about $30,000 for the project, estimated to cost nearly $34,873. The finance committee will ex­ plore the matter and return with a recommendation to the council at a later date. The council also voted to grant video game licenses to C’s Place and Carl’s SuperMarket. Hughes’ reply was “no”. Walker, who resides in Vermontville, requested the council “make every effort to collect the water bill from (the honored at 'Senior Citizens man).” The council took no action on the matter but trustees Ray Hinckley and Larry Filter Thirteen individuals were farmer from Eaton Rapids, concurred that the council specially honored during the was awarded the oldest active should continue to operate as awards assembly during the farmer award.

Nashville, Tuesday, July 28, 1987 — Page 4 unexpected landings.” Although he wasn't a passenger at the time, Adolph Douse recalled a flight in the late 1920s that resulted in damage to Greenfield’s plane but no personal injuries. “Claudie Greenfield and Merrill Hinckley were flying over Nashville, throwing out handbills over Main Street from one of the early planes Claude had,” recalled Douse. “The engine quit and they came down in a field on the Dull farm on Brumm Road.” The burlap-covered wooden wings of the aircraft were damaged.

Nashville man was pioneer aviator “Claudie got quite a few boys in this area into flying," said Douse. “All of them eventually went to Dayton (fortraining).” One, Stanely McWhinney ofVermontville, in later years became the personal pilot of Michigan’s Governor G. Mennen Williams. Another, Douse recalled, was Orville Perkins of Nashville, who later became airport manager at Marshall. There is not doubt that Claudie Greenfield left a lasting impression on many adventurous Nashville youths who grew up in the romantic era of budding air travel and who dreamed of soaring above the clouds. In a 1981 interview, the late Kenneth (Ted) Mix of Nashville recalled Claudie Greenfield being astride a favorite pony when he wasn’t in the air, and summed up the awe with which most Nashville folks regarded the young boy-pilot who became a local legend in his own time. “Everyone though he would die young,” recalled Mix. “They were sure he would kill himself in his airplane. ’ Instead Claude went on to become a U.S. Air Force pilot during World War II, ferrying aircraft for the air transport command. He had worked as an instructor for Pan American Air Ferries prior to entering the service. After the war, Lt. Green­ field resumed operation of his training-schools. He spent his declining years in Florida, sharing his wealth of aviation skills with students of flying. His last school was at Key West, where he also con­ ducted sight-seeing tours by air. Claude Greenfield died at his home in Opa-Locka on February 7. 1965, at age 62. He was survived by a wife, a son, three daughters, a sister, three brothers and 15 grandchildren. In Nashville, Claudie Greenfield left a legacy of happy memories of a bygone era. “He came to Miami 23 years ago from Nashville, Michigan,’’ noted his obituary in the Miami Herald. “He was one of the old barn­ storm pilots holding commer­ cial license No. 1888.” -0Postscript: After our story on Greenfield first appeared in 1981, former local resident Marion (Snow) Johnson of Charlotte heard from Stanley McWhinney, the former Ver­ montville boy who became Gov. William’s pilot. (She had sent him a copy of the ar­ ticle.) In his letter to Mrs. Johnson, McWhinney said how pleased he was with the piece and added these obser­ vations of Greenfield: “Claudie, or Buck, as he was often called, was a man in a class of his own; a martyr and a classic who lived every day of his life, and everyone around him was well aware of it. He brought me such securi­ ty and success in flying, which aided me thoughout my aviation activities.” From a daring young Nashville aviator who flew biplanes in his teens, while most folks were still trying to conquer the auto, Claude grew into USAF Lt.

Later he owned and operated flight training schools 'iooFA°r i a' a career he launched at Dayton, Ohio,,iin i ii ‘ Claude vvas an early barnstormer, noted for his •kill as a stunt fly er.

Craig said farmland is almost cheap enough to justify owning instead of renting. “We’re close to the point where servicing land debts would be manageable,” he said. “There’s still a slight cash flow advantage in renting land, but the cost per acre of buying is more attractive now than during the boom years of the 1970s.” Craig said the key is finding out if you can afford to buy. “Financing is usually the first problem.

DEMOLITION DERBY The House Republican Policy Committee Task Force on Welfare has issued a report containing recommendations designed to decrease welfare dependency and increase economic self-sufficiency. Under the plan, pilot programs would first be set up in volunteer counties to assis welfare applicants and recipients in securing jobs. A key part of the plan would ensure support services such as child care, helath care and transportation on a temporary basis for the working poor and welfare recipients. Lack of these services are major obstacles to overcoming welfare dependency. Michigan’s Annual School Dropout Rate increased during the 1985-86 school year to 5.8%.

The evidence is pouring in­ to the Multidisciplinary Diagnostic Laboratory at Michigan State University, where technicians probe the reasons for plant illness and death. “We aren’t sure how great the loss will be, but I think we can safely say that it will run into the millions of dollars,” says David Roberts, diagnostic laboratory director. He says that several factors are contributing to losses of trees and nursery stock that may continue for months to come. The rains last fall severely damaged or destroyed most of the root systems and spurred late season growth when trees and shrubs should have been going dormant for the winter. Consequently, most trees, particularly fruit trees, went into winter in a comparatively succulent condition and suf­ fered a substantial, amount of winter kill. The mild weather also opened the door to damage by disease and in­ sects, which also fared well over the mild winter. The dryer than normal weather that followed prevented trees and shrubs from generating new roots to replace those lost last fall. “What we are primarily seeing now is stress,” Roberts says. “Plants have not had the chance to recover from the ef­ fects of the wet weather, and the dry conditions we are hav­ ing now only add to that stress. “Along with that are brought in the disease and in­ sect problems. Until there is a change in environmental con­ ditions, that stress will con­ tinue to take its toll. He notes that the integration of these problems is being seen on nearly every plant — from raspberries to Scotch pine arriving at the laboratory for diagnosis. All that homeowners and commercial growers can do is try to reduce the current stress level as much as possible with irrigation and avoid mechanical damage to plants.

Nashville, Vol. 115 - No. 54 — Tuesday, August 4, 1987 Ossenheimer backers organize to oppose local recall by Shelly Sulser A group of nearly 40 area citizens who believe the Maple Valley Board of Education is committed to making Maple Valley “the district it ought to be” have banded together as the “On with the Job Committee” to oppose the recall of trustee Dale Ossenheimer. Barry County Clerk Norval Thalet said the county elec­ tion commission has set Sept. 22, 1987 as the date the school district shall hold a special election for the recall of Ossenheimer. “There will be a vigorous campaign, an aggresive cam­ paign against the recall,” said Bob Dwyer who helped to form the new committee. “I support Dale because I’m im­ pressed by the efforts he and these other board members that are under attack have made to put the Maple Valley Schools back on the map.” Dwyer is a resident of Nashville and is the Democratic chairman for Barry County. Nashville area resident Marilyn Roush, an active member of the opposing Con- cerned Citizens for Responsi­ ble School Board Action group that questioned a December evaluation of Superintendent Carroll J. Wolff, gathered over 600 signatures on petitions in an effort to recall Ossenheimer. Roush contends she is acting on h-er own to oust Ossenheimer for his part in alleged illegal procedures related to the handling of the evaluation. Roush claims Ossenheimer, along with vice president Loren Lehman and former president David Hawkins (whose recalls are being sought by George Hubka) had not followed their own policy as to how Wolffwould receive his copy of the composite evaluation document. Dwyer said the On with the Job Committee has filed the necessary legal papers with the Campaign Finance Divi­ sion of the Michigan Secretary of State’s office to become a formal organiza­ tion. Thaler said independent groups have to follow that procedure when they spend or plan to spend over $200 in campaign funds. At a meeting of the On with the Job Committee July 30, board secretary Bea Pino was chosen as treasurer. “(The committee was form­ ed) to present a positive view of what the board ha? done in the last year following recom­ mendations made by the Citizens’ Advisory Commit­ tee,” Pino said. “The Concerned Citizens never mentioned the educa-. tional importance of the children. That is our concern. We just want to make Maple Valley as good a school as possible.” Pino expressed concern that several homeowners in the Nashville area have allegedly claimed their homes are now for sale because the school district is “such a mess,” she said. “We want to make it one of the best.” She said the people on the committee are mainly in­ terested in the children. “There has been a very good effort by the board the past few years,” she said, noting the implementation of Citizen’s Advisory Committee suggestions, such as the addition of a high school and elementary school counselor, the reinstitution of music and physical education at the elementary level and the hir­ ing of Curriculum Coor­ dinator Vic Schug. “I don’t think they (the community) know how much has been accomplished,1’ she said. “I talked to Larry Lenz (junior-senior high school Ossenheimer, cont. page 2 Second attempt to recall MV Board member foiled; Hubka to try again Sunshine Party biggest ever!

The party is held jointly by the Vermontville United Methodist and the Vermontville Congregational Church. Martha Kuch of Charlotte was the enterainment for the day playing her Celtic Harp. Kuch is a school teacher in Charlotte, and is a member of the Original Dulcimer Players of Michigan, the Thornapple Dulcimer Society and the StradiVarius String Band.

In his recall notice, Hubka claimed Pino “did by and through her actions at the June 8, 1987, school board meeting demonstrate a lack of understanding of and feeling for the the responsibility and respect a school board member needs to show and provide to the Maple Valley special education students, their parents, and the citizens determined at a meeting to of the school district.

The Vermontville Fire Department was called to the scene at about 3:30 p.m. when Carter’s teenage daughter discovered smoke emitting from a rear bedroom. “Everything in the bedroom was lost,” said Fireman Ken Frith. The re­ mainder of the house and its contents suffered smoke damage, Frith said. He said fireman were on the scene for nearly one hour ex­ tinguishing the fire from the bedroom and evacuating the smoke. A short in an exten­ sion cord is thought to be the cause of the fire. No damage estimate was available at press time. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, August 4, 1987 — Page 2 Second attempt to recall board member foiled Continued from front page- Barry .

AAAIN, VERMONTVILLE principal) I was astounded when he listed the things that had been done.” At the meeting of the recall opposition -committee, Ossenheimer reportedly said the special election should be treated as a referendum on education in the district. “The children who enter school this fall will graduate in the 21st century. If our schools are now inadequate for the 20th century, our children face a bleak future,” he said. “Since the Citizens Advisory Committee made its recommendations two years ago, this board has striven to bring our schools up to par, and beyond. We have fought, and will continue to fight, to wring the most value from every taxpayer dollar. Ex­ cellence is required and will be demanded in every part of school operation from instruc­ tion to physical plant to the administration of the distret. “I am confident that the citizens want no less,” he added. He also reportedly alleged that, “There are a handful of obstructionists who, for reasons that will become public during this campaign, are more concerned with a hidden agenda than the educa­ tion of our children and the protection of every tax dollar.

An article that appeared on the front page of The Nashville News more than 65 years ago gives an idea ofhow far many former local residents had scattered across the USA, even in that early day. The piece shows that several of the Nashville peo­ ple had relocated to the West Coast in search of ‘fame and fortune’, or perhaps just more favorable climate. The New story published on May 18, 1922, chronicles recent travels of a former Nashville boy as he sought out other Nashvillites across the coun­ try, as well as throughout Michigan. The account follows. -0“C.L.J. Smith, former Nashville boy, who has been spending a week’s vacation in this vicinity, is true to his memories of the old hometown and never misses an opportunity to look up former Nashville people who happen to live on the route of his travels. “His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Smith are still living at Seattle, where they moved from here about thirty years ago. His older sister, Mrs. W.W. Milner, also lives at Seattle, but her husband’s business interest are largely in mining at Placerville, California. The younger daughter. Olivette Lee, who is now Mrs. H.A. Lennon, lives with her hus­ band and baby daughter at Fay Diamond, former Burlingame, a suburb of San Francisco, where Mr. Lennon Hastings men, who are in is one of the engineers of the business at Medford; Mr. Union Iron Works, who con­ Heath in a fine big drug store and Mr. Diamond in the duct a big shipyard. “Among other Nashville jewelry business as befits his family at Portland, Oregon. name. “Clark N.

This circa-1910 photo gives a bird's-eye view of that city's McKinley monumSnt in Niagara Square. Mr. Smith never missed an opportunity to look up former Nashville people who happened to live on the route of his travels across the USA. Arthur Gregg, of Nashville's pioneering Gregg family, was located at St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1922, and was working as an engineer on the North-Western railroad, according to a report in The Nashville News chronciling Smith's travels. This photo of that era shows a main street of the city. Farther west, iin Washington state, Mr. Smith located the widow and children of News founder Orno Strong, who left Nashville for the West Coast in 1888. Memories of the past by Susan Hinckley illllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllBlltlHIHlIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllHIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIlia The Emory Parady family Is seen here at their Portland, Oregon, home at about the time they were visited in 1922 by a former local man who called'on them in nationwide travels that took him to the homes of several former Nashvillites. Parady, who was "still the best cobbler in town,” when visited at Portland, had also pursued that trade in Nashville. Here, he had served, too, as village presi­ dent, postmaster, justice of the peace, and Castleton Township supervisor. In 1865, five years before he moved to Nashville, Parady was among a small band of Union soliders who tracked down Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth. The family relocated to the West Coast in 1907. Emory died at Portland in 1924; his wife, Frances, passed away two years later. and has the Buffalow district office for one of the big companies. “Hattie Coe Weater lives at Penn Yann, New York. Mr. Smith spent several hours with them and found them very happy and contented. “Miss Gail Griswold, former Vermontville girl, is secretary for a financial magnate in Chicago and lives there with her mother. “Frank Overholt, son of Si­ meon Overholt, former village marshal and rampant prohibitionist, lives in Battle Creek, and is engaged in truck gardening. At Battle Creek Mr. Smith also found Herbert Hoag, who is a molder in an aluminum foundry; Mis Lydia Powers, a former Nashville schoolteacher; L.E. Slout and family; Ambrose. Marble; Miss Electa Fumiss and other former Nashvillites with all of whom he enjoyed old time visits. , “At i Kalamazoo he also looked up Mrs. Emma Martin and son, V.R. Matin; Mrs. Lyon, who was formerly Miss Babe Comfort; T.D. Demary, a son of Charles Demaray; and also ran across Frank M. Weber, a former Nashville News printer, who was visiting his daughter in the city. “At Ann Arbor he called on Mr. and Mrs A.L. Rasey; Leonard Miller and family; Orra Stringham Preston; and Mabie Boston, all former Nashville people, while at Marshall he called on Dr. and Mrs. Nelson Abbott. “At Detroit he hunted up Mr. and Mrs. E.Y. Hogle, formerly of Hastings^ Mrs. Hogle was one of the Mudge family of Maple Grove. Mr. Hogle is with the Fisher Body Co.” (While visiting in Detroit Mr. Smith also) “Called on Mrs. E.L.

The short uniden­ tified lady with hat in back row is Mrs. Joe Hurd, and that is her husband at far right. On an earlier tip, we had speculated that it might have been Dorothy’s grand­ father, “Deb” Green. That person in the back row whose face is nearly obscured is Dorothy’s mother, Mrs. Fay Green. Dorothy’s twin brother Win, who also ap­ peared in the picture later founded the Hastings Reminder, but lost his life while serving with the armed forces during World War II.

This is not a beauty pageant but instead based on academics, leadership and achievement. A goal of the pageant is to search for a young lady who will be representative of American youth at its best. Contestants are students who make good grades in school and have shown poten­ tial as leaders in school and civic organizations. During the pageant they will be judg­ ed on talent, appearance, poise, personality, interview and scholastic achievement. Included will be a stage ap­ pearance in a long party dress, where contestants will be escorted by their fathers. “In short,” explains Direc­ tor DiAnna VanSickle, “these girls represent the best of pre­ teens and many are destined to take their places as leaders in their communities and state.” Celebrating its seventh year, the Miss National Pre­ Teen Pageant is affiliated with the nationally televised Miss National Teen-Ager Pageant and is the only pageant for girls 9-12 in which all 50 states, and Puerto Rico are represented. Over $200,000 in cash and prizes will be Awarded to contestants in 1987. A program of this scope must have support on the local, state and national levels. That support comes from individuals, civic and service organizations, small businesses and large corporations. Dalaina is being sponsored by Personal Touch Beauty Salon, Goodtime Pizza, Kent Oil Co., K & M Meats, Mace Pharmacy, Nashville Hard­ ware, and Hastings Shell Station. The Miss Michigan Na­ tional Pre-Teen Pageant will be open to the public.

Sixteen scouts and three adult leaders spent the week in a variety of activity. Unlike many camps, the adult leaders are responsible for the supervision of their own troop while at camp, and the camp staff is responsible for program. The scouts “sign up” to work on various skill awards, merit badges and other special skills. Among these are astronomy, environmental science, fish and wildlife management, forestry, geology, insect life, nature, orienting, pioneering, small boat sailing, soil and water conservation, wilderness sur­ vival, dutch oven cooking, snorkling, mile swim, BSA ihmh trftneefinj. lifeguard, swimming classes and many others. A total of 41 achievements were earned by the scouts while at camp. The adults accompanying thee troop roop also aso plan pan special speca evening events for their troop. They can schedule troop swims, frisbee golf, making cobbler in dutch ovens, ice cream making, and a troop scavenger hunt. In order to provide addi­ tional activities, troop 176 has created a “troop box” which is also taken on all outings. It provides games and activities for the scouts when there are no planned activities. It in­ cludes checkers, chess, baseball, frisbee, braiding materials, etc. The adults accompanying the scouts this year were Dave Kuempel and Leonard Eaton, assistant scoutmasters, and Dale Ossenheimer, scout­ master.

Pictured with their prizes from this year's fair are (l-r) Michell Evans, Steve Ainsworth, Mike Everett, Mike Siple, Dan Siple, and Duff Laverty. Phyllis Wells recieved a special tribute from the State of Michigan at the Eaton County Fair for her years of outstanding service to 4-H. She plans to leave Vermontville and begin a new life in Florida with her husband. Carroll, and daughter "When you've been a part of something for 32 years, you can't just walk away and say goodbye." Faith. by Shelly Sulser A face that is often familar to those passing through the sheep bams at Eaton County’s annual 4-H fair or stopping by the baby animal zoo at the Vermontville Maple Syrup festival will soon become familar to visitors at a Florida tourist ranch. Phyllis Wells, her husband, Carroll and youngest child, 15-year-old Faith, will begin a new life as residents of Lake Walls, Florida when they uproot their deep ties to Ver­ montville and replant them this September. “My husband decided he wanted to live in Florida,” she said. Carroll is already driving a team of draft horses on the Outdoor Resorts River Ranch grounds while Phyllis has a job as restaurant cook waiting for her at the camp. “We had gone down for the winter and we read an ad. This ranch wanted somebody to take care of some horses so he (Carroll) called but they had already found somebody,”' she explained. “At that time, he was working at ajiffy store and I was work­ ing at McDonald’s.” Phyliss and her husband found the ranch ad interesting and decided to further explore the information. “He got to talking to the manager there and he said he didn’t have anybody that could drive the horses,” she said. “So he filled out an ap­ plication and they asked him if he could start the next day. “He’s worked horses all his life so he was really enthused about it,” she added. “He’s getting paid for doing something he enjoys.” Not nearly old enough for retirement, Phyllis said her husband reasoned that, “If I’ve got to work 10 more years, I might as well do something I like.” Since his employment at the ranch, Carroll has been put in charge of planning and creating a petting zoo, too. The couple had sold their Gresham Road 115-acre farm, where they raised crops and livestock, at auction last year and moved to a rented home in Vermontville before stumbling upon Carroll’s Florida dream. Phyllis plans to sell the re­ mainder of their belongings at auction September 10, one Sally Martin, left, and Barb Byington, right, will become the new administrative leaders of the Ver­ montville Jr. Farmers 4-H Club. Phyllis Wells, center, goes over the books with them in front of the club booth at the Eaton CountyFair. Phyllis kept extra busy this summer as the manager of the food concessions at the Gun Lake Beach. — NOTICE — CHANGE OF PHONE NUMBER for J.L. Weatherhead, M.D. 795-3354 Mark R.

Although Phyllis is the head club leader, assistants help to teach the various projects to the members. She admits she has even learned a thing or two along the way. Much of her job, however, consists of handling paperwork, enrollments, scheduling meetings and demonstrations, making nominations for coun­ ty awards, ordering pins and instructing the kids on sheep and poultry showing. “She made sure that everyone who accomplished something at the fair received some recognition with their picture in the paper and with pins,” said former 4-Her Janice Siple. For her 18 years of effort, Phyllis earned outstanding leader status last year and was recognized at this year’s fair in a special tribute presented at the fair by Rep. Frank Fit­ zgerald from the State of Michigan. “The dedication and hard work of Phyllis Wells has also been instrumental in other groups,” the tribute said. “She helped establish the Small Animal Association of Eaton County. She has served as coordinator for the small animal sale and as superinten­ dent of the poultry bam and the talent show of the county fair. She has also shared her knowledge and insight as a member of the State Poultry Development Committee and the Maple Syrup Association Committee,” the tribute states. “An inspiration to others, she has gained our respect and admiration. “In special tribute, therefore, this document is signed and dedicated to honor Phyllis Wells as she brings to a close her outstanding efforts as a leader in the Eaton Coun­ ty 4-H and the Vermontville Junior Farmers. May she know how deeply her con­ tributions are appreciated,” concludes the tribute, signed by Michigan Gov. James. J. Blanchard, Senator John Schwarz, M.D. and Rep. Frank M. Fitzgerald. “When a kid becomes a member of 4-H, they’re hers (Phyliss’) forever,” said 4-H parent Nancy Brown. “She has a huge family.” “You’ve got to like kids if you’re going to succeed in 4-H,” Phyllis said previous to this year’s fair. “You’ve got to like kids and enjoy working with them.” •New Construction*Service«Remodeling •Sewer and Drain Work Halsey Plumbing LARRY HALSEY Licensed Master Plumber J Ph. 517-543-6996 Serving Charlotte, Vermontville, Nashville - all ofEaton County Gresham Grain Grinders; Club Herd - Maple Valley Beefers.

Vol. 116 -No. 3 — Tuesday August 11. 1967 Coldwater woman dies after high-speed chase, Sunday by Mary Warner A one-car accident just south of Nashville early Sun­ day morning claimed the life of a Coldwater woman, Michigan State Police from the Battle Creek post report. The Woman had been runn­ ing from police when the acci­ dent occurred, Trooper Gary Lyne ma said. Police broke off pursuit of the woman’s vehicle just a short while before the woman, still speeding, lost control of her car and-it flipped over and struck a large embankment at 1:40 a.m,. Dead is Karry Irvine, 25, of 123 Peckham St. Irvine’s vehicle was first observed by Battle Creek city police at 1:30 a.m., Lynema said. She was traveling north on M-66 at a high rate of speed. City police attempted to stop her with their sirens and lights, Lynema Said, but Irvine continued to travel nor­ thward at an excessive rate of speed. Lynema said police in­ vestigating an accident further north on M-66 outside of Bat­ tle Creek had to be alerted that the speeding car was headed .their way. Emergency vehicles had to be moved to the side of the road, Lynema said. Irvine was clocked at between 80 and 85 mph going through the accident area. Lynema said police attemp­ ted to stop her as she drove through the site of the acci­ dent, but were unable to do so. Lynema was “all over the road” during the pursuit, Lynema said, and at times drove cars in the southbound Vermontville bar under investigation, undersheriff says by Shelly Sulser An undercover investiga­ tion of a Vermontville bar conducted by the Eaton Coun­ ty Sheriffs Department Fri­ day may lead to the arrest of several persons. Undersheriff Bill Voight said undercover agents obtain­ ed photographic evidence showing the bar had operated entertainment without a per­ mit, liquor was being sold to minors and other violations. Voight said the evidence gathered will be presented to the Liquor Control Commis­ sion and the Eaton County prosecutor. He expects fur­ ther action, which could lead to arrests, to be taken early this week. “It depends on whether the prosecutor feels we have ade­ quate evidence of criminal conduct,” Voight said. Voight said the investiga­ tion was made at the request of the Liquor Control Com­ mission which had received a number of complaints from citizens and village officials. He said his department had received a tip that the bar was planning an entertainment event for Friday and that no permit had been issued by the Liquor Control Commission or the village. Baptist church not being 'picked on' Tobias says the half-acre for parking when by Shelly Sulser Several parking lots in it was purchased. “One reason we have not Nashville may end up being paved as a result of action to paved it is we are considering force the Nashville Baptist the possibility of building a Church to pave a lot across fellowship hall, whether on this lot or next to the church,” from its sanctuary. “We are not picking on the said Assistant Pastor Don Baptist Church,” Zoning Roscoe. “It’s ridiculous to Board of Appeals Chairman pave a lot we might turn around and build on.” Carl Tobias said. Complaints about dust from Tobias said that village of­ ficials are also working with the lot from neighboring Dave Mace of Mace Phar- residences, however, have macy and Tom Taylor, who is prompted the zoning board to building a new car wash, and seek a solution. “There have been comwill resolve the question of an unpaved area behind village plaintsabout the dust," said hall. Tobias. “We are working The church has been asked jointly with the Baptist by the zoning board to pave its Church. When I say ‘we’, I’m lot across from the Phillips talking about Tom Taylor (the Street building to comply with zoning administrator) and the a village ordinance. But neighbors.” Tobias said the board church officials have resisted, saying they did not plan to use agreed to form a committee made up of one zoning board member, two neighbors of the church and three members of the church board. “They are supposed to come back to the next meeting with a detailed plan,” Tobias said. “It was felt by the zon­ ing administrator we should ask them to consider coming as close as they could to the ordinance.” The next zoning board meeting is scheduled for August 20. Roscoe said the lot was pur­ chased last fall and that church members began parking on it to avoid parking in the street as had been done in the past. “They wanted to get closer to the church,” he said. “We got a lot of static from people because they were parking on the street. Without a doubt, I feel it’s a lot safer (to park in the vacant lot).” Roscoe said he has heard no complaints about dust from neighbors. In January, the zoning board sent a letter to the church saying that the zoning ordinance requires parking lots to be graded and paved for drainage, and it contains stipulations for green belts (grass surrounding the lot) and sound barriers. “They came in May or June with a proposal to surface it with crushed stone, which does not do anything for dust control,” said Tobais. “We told them we felt that would not be acceptable.” A request for a variance by the church was denied by the zoning board, Roscoe said. He estimates cost to pave the lot at about $50,000. “We’re not sure we want it to be a parking lot,” Roscoe said. Tobias said there are several other lots in town that also do not comply with the ordinance and that letters have been sent requesting accep­ table action. “We are not picking on the Baptist Church. We have ask­ ed Dave Mace to do something about the area bet­ ween his two buildings. He is working toward it and is look­ ing at a September completion date on that,” Tobias said. He added that Tom Taylor, who is currently building a car wash on South Main Street will also comply. Nashville Baptist Church Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe surveys the lot across from the Phillips Street church that the village says should be paved. While the matter is being negotiated, church members are again parking along the street and not in the lot. The village itself has an un­ paved parking area behind village hall, which Tobias said has not been designated as a parking lot. “That will be taken care of when the new building (police office and garage) is up,” he said. lane off the road. When Irvine entered Barry County, Lynema said, police broke off the pursuit. “When an officer makes a determina­ tion that it’s too dangerous for himself or innocent bystanders, it’s department policy to discontinue a chase." Lynema said. Battle Creek police alerted Barry County police, Lynema said, and Barry County Sheriff’s deputies asked Nashville patrolman Tom Teitsma to investigate. Teitsma said he set up a roadblock at the intersection of Lawrence Road and M-66. Tietsma parked his patrol car in the southbound lane of M-66, he said. “I saw her coming. I exited the patrol vehicle. She was passing a truck and was in the southbound lane going north,” Tietsema said. Tietsma said he moved out of the way ofthe oncoming vehi­ cle, but Irvine made it around the truck in time and was in the northbound lane when she passed the Nashville patrol car. Immediately afterward, Tietsma said, Irvine’s vehicle passed out of sight around a curve and he heard a crash. A Battle Creek State Police car and a Battle Creek city police car then passed Tietsma’s blockade, he said, but did not know the woman had crashed and continued on into Nashville. Teitsma said he radioed his dispatcher, who alerted the two other police cars that the woman had crashed. Tietsma said when he arriv­ ed on the scene, Irvine was still in the car, but did not ap­ pear to be wearing a seatbelt. Irvine was taken to Pennock Hospital, where an autopsy was performed. Trooper Harry Zimmerman said tests indicated that Irvine had not been inebriated when she died. Testing to see whether drug use was a factor has not yet been completed. Zimmer­ man said. The accident remains under investigation. Funeral services will be held for Irvine at Dutcher Funeral Home in Coldwater Wednesday at 2 p.m. Burial is to be at Oak Grove Cemetery in Coldwater. Irvine is a 1980 graduate of Bronson High School in Bron­ son. who was employed for the past five years at Theodore Bargman Co. in Coldwater as a computer programmer. In her spare time she raised and showed German shepherds and Doberman pinschers. Irvine's mother Linda Himes of Coldwater said she had “no idea” why her daughter was running away from police. “It’s very puzzling for us,” Himes said. Irvine did not use drugs and “couldn’t stand the smell of cigarette smoke,” her mother said. Himes said she last saw her daughter that same evening at the Coldwater house her daughter owned. The daughter was talking with a neighbor, and mother and daughter chatted for a few minutes before Himes pro­ ceeded home, Himes said. Irvine had many friends, Himes said, and was “always willing to help someone.” Besides her mother and stepfather Ned Himes, Irvine is survived by two brothers, Gregory and J.C., one sister, L. Christine, a maternal grandmother and a maternal great-grandmother. Antique Auto Show wheeling into Charlton Park, Sunday Three hundred restored-tomint-condition automobiles will be on display this Sunday, Aug. 16 at Charlton Park 18th Annual Antique Auto Show and Swap Meet. The show will feature over 300 vintage automobiles in­ cluding Aubums to Cords and Buicks to Fords. It will last from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admis­ sion is S3 for adults with children under 16 free. Antique cars older than 25 years and the driver will be admitted to the show free. The event is sponsored by the Bat­ tle Creek Chapter of the Veteran Motor Car Club of America.

Plus the village is always open and the visitors always enjoy going through it.” Fisher said the main attrac- tion of the show is its appeal to young and old. “It's attractive to the young and the experienced genera­ tion because they both can relate to cars,” he said. “It’s educational. You can see what used to be with cars and what it’s like today.” For more information on the show call 945-3775. innTtifTriimniiTinTniiiiimiitiHii: ■e SUNFIELD FARMERS PICNIC CHICKEN BARBECUE -(By High s b b-qj 5 Ml ■t* Friday, Aug. 21st $425 Sunfield Village Park • 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. Sponsored by...

An area legislator recently had the chance to change hats. Representative Frank Fit­ zgerald (R-Grand Ledge), who represents Eaton County in the Michigan House, spent Thursday morning as guest news anchor on WFMK-FM (99.1) radio. Fitzgerald was one of five guest announcers who filled in for vacationing news anchor Keith Cummings. The 56th District lawmaker reported the news, weather and sports between 6:30 and 8:30 a.m. “It was fun. I’m eager to do it again sometime,” Fitzgerald said of his debut. “I kept thinking ofJohnny Fever and the gang from the old ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ televi­ sion show.” How can you be rewarded for good driving after 55?

However, it was more than a year later before the 30x60 building of white pressed brick was completed, with its waiting room beautifully finished in polished Georgia pine.

The cost will probably be in the neighborhood of $3,000. The new building in process of erection by Downing Bros. &■ Co. at their poultry yards east of the race track, looms up distinctly from Main Street. It is a solid brick struc­ ture, two stories high. It will be used as a picking and pack­ ing room, and also contains the firm’s office.

About 20 Nashvillites went to Grand Rapids this week to see the race, and to say that they were disgusted when the an­ nouncement was made at noon that the races would be put over to the next day, is putting it mildly.

When he went home to supper he walk­ ed into the room where five of his friends were seated. Mrs. Weber served a fine supper and he was presented an elegant Morris chair by his friends. On account of the rapidly increasing business of the Farmers & Merchants bank, the capital stock and the surplus fund have been increased. W.E. Cooper raised 38 bushels of wheat to the acre, and the grain tested 63 pounds to the bushel. It was sold to Battle Creek parties and was said to be the best wheat delivered to the concern this season. Al Weber, left, rode his "wheel" to Lake Odessa one Sunday in early August, 1892, and made the news in the days when he worked as a printer at the Nash Nash-­ ville News under Len W. Feighner. In later years, Al became publisher of the Cheboygan Democrat (although he was a staunch Republican) and in 1927 was elected mayor of that northern Michigan town on the shores of Lake Huron. Al's brother, Frank Weber, also was an early employee of The Nashville News and later became a newspaper publisher at Atlanta (Mich.) and Rome City.

A highlight of the weekend festivities will be an old fashioned thresher’s dinner where aside from enjoying a colossal meal, l, the consumers can view candle making, wheat threshing, straw baling and wheat bundling demonstrated by Charlton Park volunteers. “In the old days, they used to go around from farm to farm with their threshing machines and wherever they ended up at the end ofthe day, it was up to the woman of the farm to put on a big dinner,” said Niethamer. “A harvest meal is what it was.” The sesquicentennial com­ mittee expects to feed a huge number of people at the Friday evening dinner, scheduled to run from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. arid consist ofroast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, cole slaw, corn on the cob, rolls, apple and cherry pie and drinks.

Tuesday, August 11, 1987 — Page 13 EPA survey finds low radon levels in 87 percent of Michigan homes J1 ^ **&jss **^Etiwa. ^ **® •Wiffe * "to esie^. U.S. Environmental Protec­ tion Agency (EPA) Region 5 reported today that, based on preliminary findings in a ran­ dom survey of200 residences, more than 87 percent of Michigan homes have estimated radon levels of less than 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/1). Radon is a radioactive, col­ orless, tasteless, and odorless gas. Exposure to high levels of radon may lead to lung cancer. EPA has set 4 pCi/1 as the radon guidance level above which homeowners are advis­ ed to reduce exposure. (A picocurie is a trillionth of a curie, which is used to measure exposure to radiation.) The initial survey was con­ ducted March through May 1987. It will resume in Oc­ tober and be completed in ear­ ly 1988. Overall, the preliminary may not be representative of survey indicates 87.3 percent all homes in the survey. of Michigan homes will have Homeowners should have a reading of lessl than 4 pCi/1; their homes tested rather than 12.5 percent will measure bet­ base their actions on a ween 4 and 20 pCi/1; and less neighbor’s reading, EPA said.

The EPA then analyzed the problem. The Michigan Department of Public Health, which coor­ dinated the survey, emphasiz­ ed that these measurements exposed canisters at its Eastern Environmental Radition Facility in Montgomery, AL. The results turned over the States, which notified participating homeowners of the findings. The conclusions ofthe firstround survey are: —Distribution of radon levels varied significantly among States. —Hot spots were identified. —Geology is a good in­ dicator of high-risk areas. —Even States with the lowest distribution of radon levels had some homes with extremely high randon concentrations. Elevated radon levels were found in every State surveyed. The highest level, 182 pCi/1, was found in Alabama. The next nine highest are: 162, Michigan; 142, Wisconsin; 100, Tennessee; 94, Alabama; 84 and 83, Wisconsin; and 81 in Colorado, Con­ necticut, and Wyoming. A second round of surveys Timely seeding of alfalfa is very important for summer seedings. The plants must be seeded early enough so that the plants are large enough to survive Michigan’s winters. Seedings should not be made later than August 15 in southern Michigan. Late August and September seedings are apt to be failures. Oats should not be used in summer seedings because of the strong competition for water. For weed control use a preplant incorporated her­ bicide such as Eptam of Balan. f n* for J.L.

According to Nancy Thelen, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent, the purpose of the annual event is to give young people an opportunity to demonstrate the skills they’ve learned and taught their animals through the 4-H dog project. This year’s event included obedience, showmanship, Leader Dog puppy, brace and team divisions. 172 4-H members from 28 counties participated. Reptile weekend coming to Binder Park Zoo Aug. 15-16 If you’ve ever wanted to come eye-to-eye with a six foot boa constrictor, or see a legless lizard, you’ll soon have the chance. August 15 and 16 is reptile weekend at the Binder Park Zoo. Members of the Michigan Society of Herpetologists will be on hand to display snakes, lizards, turtles and toads in the Zoo’s Wildlife Education Center. Zoo amphibians and reptiles normally reserved for Zoomobile educational pro­ grams will also be shown. Many different species will be exhibited, some of which are endangered or protected by Federal and state law. Visitors will have the oppor­ tunity to see an alligator, an iguana, geckos and a variety of tortoises. Featured snakes will include the eastern in- digo, fox snake, boa constric­ tor and reticulated python. Members of the Michigan Society of Herpetologists are looking forward to increasing public awareness about these often misunderstood creatures, and hope to dispell many myths surrounding rep­ tiles and amphibians. By ask­ ing questions, and even touching some of the animals on display, visitors can learn how a snake’s skin feels, how fast a lizard can run, and why a gecko’s tail comes off. The exhibit will run Satur­ day, August 15, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, August 16, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and everyone is invited to at­ tend.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 116 - No. 4 — Tuesday, August 18, 1987 Maple Valley School Board seeks volunteers for citizen’s committee by Mary Warner The Maple Valley School District is lacking classroom space and needs other building and equipment improvements, school board secretary Bea Pino says. That’s why the school board decided Thursday to seek volunteers to sit on a special committee to examine the space and equipment pro­ blems of the district and make a report to the board. Board members want volunteers to submit applica­ tions to the superintendent’s office before the next board meeting Sept. 10. The board will then meet with those applying and establish who will sit on the committee. Problems in the district range from a lack of space for special needs classes to the lack of a separate junior high school building, Pino said. “In the elementaries,” Pino Elementary school said, “tutoring and special counselors are using storage classes are being conducted in closets for their offices, she the corridors, which is said. illegal.’’ In Vermontville’s elemen- M.V.

Ossenheimer and trustee Jerry Brumm both noted.that the school board’s policy manual has not been updated as changes have been made in procedures. They also said that the student handbook in­ formation has not been includ­ ed in the school board manual. “Revision dates should be included with the policy GOALS, continued page 2 At Fuller Elementary, the cleaning crews are busily preparing to welcome students back to the books.

More photos and information can be found inside. the district are “distressed” that the junior-senior high school, which was built in 1966 and houses seventh through 12th graders, does not separate middle and upper grades. The junior high is at one end of the building and the high school is at the other end, she said, but the students have communal corridors, bathrooms, cafeteria and gym. Pino said the hope for a new junior high school may be an impossible dream. “We are not a rich com­ munity,” she said.

Fuller Street School is ready for action! down in the principal’s office.” And at Kellogg School, the aging building is continually in need of costly repairs, Pino said. Kellogg School originally served as the district’s high school, Pino said, and one of the special committee’s goals could be to finally retire the building and replace it with a new one. And possibly, Pino said, the committee could lay the groundwork to put forth a district bond issue for a new junior high school — something that has been a dream for many in the district, Pino said. Pino said s me residents of Monty Allen of South Clark Road asked trustee Ron Tobias if he felt that he violated school board policy when he publicly apologized to Supt. Carroll Wolff for the board’s evaluation. Tobias responded that he never specifically disclosed the results of the evaluation and therefore was not violating policy. Allen also charged tht Tobias had written his letter of apology “to create public opinion rather than develop a stronger unity within the com­ munity and school district.” Tobias’ response: “Your opinion.” Allen directed a question to Wolff about where the-district will get money to pay legal fees and special recall elec­ tions. Allen predicted that the costs will exceed $20,000. “Does your budget ac­ comodate these unexpected costs and where do you an­ ticipate cutting the budget?” he asked. Wolff explained that the board is budgeting to increase its anticipated surplus funds by one percent annually in each of the next five years. He, therefore, expects to have the money available, he said. Wolff added that the budget has not yet been set, so no cuts are going to be made to ac­ comodate the extra costs. Harold King of East Maple Grove Road addressed recall leaders, saying, “If the anger and hatefulness I have witnessed here were directed energy toward developing educational programs, our school would leave other districts in the dust.” King said that the district faced up to eight elections — four recalls and four special elections to fill the seats — at a price of $1,500 each. “(These) costs...do not even address the emotional price fo be paid by all,” he said. King said that the expen­ diture of $1,500 was not only a waste of educational monies, “but a waste of Mr. Dale Ossenheimer’s responsi­ ble questioning and concern about the educational well be­ ing ofthis community’s young people.” Ossenheimer faces a recall election on Sept. 22. Monte Allen reads a letter questioning trustee Ron Tobias and Supt. Carroll Wolff. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, August 18, 1987 — Page 2 M.V. School Board seeks volunteers for citizens committee Continued from front page school district has little tax base from business71' and industry. Maple Valley had been languishing for years, she said, with too little funds and other inadequacies. Efforts to pass a millage in­ crease to help the situation were rebuffed by voters for a number of years. Finally, the State Board of Education gave the district a “very negative” evaluation, leading to the establishment of a Citizens Advisory Commit­ tee two years ago. The com­ mittee laid the groundwork for the passage of a threeyear, four-mill property tax increase, which is bringing $500,000 more in revenue to the district. Other committee recom­ mendations have also been implemented. “The last year and a half has been remarkable for changes in curriculum, repairs, and other im­ provements,” Pino said. Changes made through the committee aren’t the only changes the district has had to face in the last year. The controversy over the evaluation of Supt. Carroll Wolff and the resultant efforts to recall school board members accused of trying to get rid of Wolff has com­ plicated the normal flow of school business. The face of the board has changed since a regular school election placed some Wolff supporters on the governing body, and now a board split in loyalties is walking on eggshells, hammering out new policies and procedures. One of those new 'procedures has been to open bids in public, rather than letting Wolff handle the awarding of contracts to school district suppliers. Bids for re-roofing the Jr./Sr. High School and Fuller Street Elementary were painstakingly opened Thursday and read to the audience by board members, a month after a bid for the project was already awarded and then withdrawn from a Hastings roofing company. State law mandates that material purchased by the district be purchased through a prescribed advertising and bidding process. Wolff was confronted with that law last month when Amar Roofing threatened to file suit over a re-roofing contract given to a rival firm. Wolff admitted “there was a violation of state law in this case,” and last Thursday Amar Roofing was one of six roofing firms submitting bids for the re-roofing of the Jr./Sr. high school and Fuller Street Elementary. Further action on the bids was put off to the September meeting so board members would have a chance to study them. Bids on milk and bread for school lunches were also opened by the board as part of new procedure. And a bill for almost $500 to be paid to Nashville Hardware was voted on separately, another change in policy insisted on by Pino because board member Jerry Brumm is the owner of the hardware store. (Brumm, bristling at what he called the implication of “conflict of interest”, told the board he has been a member of the community for years and deserved to have his share of its business.) Pino said state law and school board policy require board members to announce during bill-paying if they are being paid for goods or ser­ vices sold to the district. The policy also requires a twothirds vote of the board to ap­ prove the bill if a board member is involved. A relatively large audience, some wearing paper flowers signifying their support of board president Dale Ossenheimer, the main target of the recall effort, witnessed other minor skirmishes in the power struggles of the board Thursday night. Pino requested that the ap­ pointment of election inspec­ tors for Ossenheimer’s Sept. 22 recall election be delayed until the next board meeting. The board could not delay the decision, it was discovered, because county election officials had to have the list of appointments prior to the next board meeting. But a check ofthe composi­ tion of the list of inspectors later revealed three who had signed recall petitions against Ossenheimer, county officials said. Supt. Wolff called Thurs­ day for a return to normalcy and added that rumors that he would not be retiring at the end of the next school year were not true. the set up of the new facilities and equipment committee said they hoped to have the com­ mittee in place by November, with its tasks clearly outlined. In the meantime, the board will have to establish the scope and direction of the special committee, Vice President Loren Lehman said. School board sets goals Continued from front page- sees the citizens’ report as a basis for establishing specific objectives, rather than overall goals. In other action at the meeting, the board set up some new procedures to follow at the meetings, in­ cluding creating a tape recor­ ding of each session. The board has not yet set guidelines on use of the tapes and obtaining copies. The board also agreed to keep copies of the school board manual available at each meeting so that they can have easy access to policies and guidelines that have been set for operating the district. The board members went along with Ossenheimer’s suggestion to include copies of the previous month’s ap­ proved bills with the board minutes. Ossenheimer listed members of the board’s seven standing committees. They are (chairman listed first): Labor and management — Ron -Tobias, Lehman and Charles Viele; Athletic council Hawkins, Tobias and Brumm; Facilities and equipment — Lehman, Viele and Ossenheimer; Transportation — Viele, Hawkins, Ossenheimer; Policy and curriculum — Ossenheimer, Brumm and Bea Pino; Finance — Brumm, Lehman and Pino; and Public relations Pino, Hawkins and Tobias. Finally, the board agreed to seek presentations from both the Michigan Association of School Boards and the state universities on the services that they offer for seeking a new superintendent. The board hopes to have represen­ tatives of a university and the MASB attend meetings in Oc­ tober and November. manual,” trustee David Hawkins said. Trustee Bea Pino added that changes in laws should also be included. Hawkins also raised the question of developing a policy for dealing with the disease AIDS. He proposed that the board work with school officials and members of the community. Harold King of Maple Grove Road told the board state law mandates that students be taught about com­ municable diseases. “I’ve been led to unders­ tand that we have never had a presentation on STDs (sexual­ ly transmitted diseases),” King said. He said that he obtained this information from public health nurses at the Eaton County Health Department. Board members took no ac­ tion on the AIDS question ear riht!

Gregg one-half acre of land and erected on it a building which he used both as a dwelling house and store, filling it with the usual stock of a country store. At this time there was very little travel thru the place and customers were rarely seen. But soon others were attracted to the place and buildings began to go up rapidly. “Soon a grocery store was built and opened by William Feighner and in the fall of 1865 the Malletts raised their grist mill. In the spring of ’66 L. J. Wheeler built a store, which was occupied by himselfand T.C. Downing for dry goods and groceries. D.C. Griffith also came about this time and established a store and the place grew rapidly. “The need developed for a school and a bee was made and a temporary structure was The first term of Nashville's earliest village school erected in a single day.

The village was platted in 1865 by Robert Gregg, who laid out most of his farm into village lots. It comprised a tract of land two miles square and was incorporated in the spring of 1870.” (This is an obvious error, for Nashville was incorporated on March 26, 1869.) “The first marriage solemnized in Nashville was that of M.

An enlighting view of Nashville in its infancy can be seen in the various descriptions of the fledgling village that appeared in early state business directories and gazateers.

Stauffer, an uncle to Len W. Feighner, the nephew later becoming longtime editor-publisher of The Nashville News.) “After a brief but brilliant career of six months it (the Independent) came to an un­ timely end and for the space of a year thereafter the village had no local paper. The present newspaper, the Nashville News, was established and issued its first number October 3, 1873. Omo Strong is editor and publisher. The News started with only sixtyeight regular subscribers and from this small beginning has grown rapidly, keeping pace with the town until now its subscriptions book shows over 800 regular subscribers. “Strong is one of the youngest editors in the state and starting with little or no capital besides his head and hands, he has by sheer pluck and determination established a paper that is a credit to the place. “With this brief sketch of the past we will now speak of the present. Nashville today is a busy, bustling village of 1,120 with two good flouring mills, several saw mills, a large steam planing mill, a carding mill, a good foundry and machine shop, a brickyard, three churches, one bank, two good hotels and a large number of shops and stores of all kinds.” The writer went on to list current village officers, school board members, churches, etc., and furnished a complete Nashville business directory. Village president in 1878 was Elihu Chipman, who also was a local justice of peace. Charles H. Brady was village recorder (clerk); James Fleming was treasurer, Lewis Durkee, assessor; Walter S. Powers, village attorney, William E. Gregg, marshal; and trustees were George A. Truman, Herbert M. Lee, Lycurgus J. Wheeler (all present or former merchants), Eugene Cook (wagon and carriage maker by trade), and William H. Young and H.A. Barber, both physicians. It was a day when most village leaders wore several hats; Village Clerk Brady was a local lawyer who also dealt in real estate; Lewis Durkee, village assessor, had worked as roadmaster for the MCRR, read law to become an at­ torney and two years after this publication was elected state senator, though he died just six months later; Village Treasurer James Fleming was a jeweler by trade. Nashville’s three churches in 1878 were the Christian Despite an error in an 1878 history of the village, Nashville's first newspaper was the Business Register, issued February 10, 1870, by merchant Leonard E. Stauffer, uncle and namesake of Len W. Feighner, who in later years became longtime editor-publisher of The Nashville News. The "brief but brilliant" sixmonths course of the Independent was not launched until 1872, the year before the long-lasting Nashville News was established by Orno Strong, then one of the youngest editors in the state. Strong's weekly is a con­ tinuously published forerunner of the Maple Valley News. Church (in the present-day Trinity Gospel on Washington Street); the Me.thodist Episcopal (in a frame building located on the site of the cur­ rent United Methodist Church); and the Baptist (which in 1876 had built the fine brick church Street that now houses the Catholics). The only society listed for Nashville in the 1878 publica­ tion was the Masonic Lodge No. 255, F.&A.M., which held “regular communication on each Wednesday evening on or before the fiill of the moon.” In the business directory listing for Nashville were the traditional merchant and ser­ vice categories including general stores, meat markets, agricultural implement dealers, four milliners, a tailor and a dressmaker, two harness-makers, two photographers and two barbers, a livery stable, three each of physicians and at­ torneys, a dentist, a cooper (barrel-maker), and four blacksmiths. Lentz and Sons manufac­ tured furniture and also con­ ducted an undertaking business. There was a gunsmith and one contractor­ builder. The listing showed only one restaurant-ice cream parlor in Nashville in 1878, but in that day the local hotels also prepared and served food for the general public.

The organization has been going strong for over 10 years and welcomes new people who would enjoy helping in the program. We tend to visualize a church, synagogue, etc. as a huge edifice on the order of a cathedral, but this is a far cry from many a house of worship. Particularly in a small town, it can be any sort of a structure. However, it must depend heavily on the handful of worshippers who comprise the congregation; for it is they who help it grow and prosper by their own support and by bringing in others to join them. One such church recently moved from the town hall into a very impressive arrangement of mobile homes. The congregation consists of perhaps forty people, whose generosity nonetheless managed to provide a piano and an organ. When dedicated people are determined to accomplish a goal, nothing is impossible. Attend YOUR House of Worship regularly and help it any way you can. Remember that no matter how small it is, God’s love is always there to guide you. A church can be any place where two or more people assemble to worship God. —Author unknown “And so were the churches established ...and increased in number daily.” —Acts 16:5 Trowbridge Service - AUTO SERVICE CENTER 130 S.

The halls are also sporting new paint and bold encourag­ ing statements, like “believe in yourself, sportsmanship, respect for others, happiness, leadership, enthusiasm and happiness” that are printed within a strip lining the top of the walls. The curriculum has been expanded to include a pre­ algebra class and remedial math classes for the seventh and eighth grade students, Lenz said. The U.S. History classes that are required for eighth and eleventh graders have also been revamped, Lenz said. In previous years, the material that was first covered in the eighth grade was reviewed in the 11th grade course, he said. Now, the eighth graders will study events up to Civil War times and the 11th graders will begin their studies with the Reconstruction Era and pro­ gress onward in time. Seventh graders will be tak­ ing a semester class called “Skills for Adolescence.” The new class will teach students to deal with peer pressures and to develop a positive self-concept “If you don’t want to follow along with your buddy, how do you tell that buddy ‘no’?” Lenz said, explaining that the class will also present information on drug education and prevention. The Skills for Adolescence class will be sponsored by two area Lion’s Clubs as part of their Quest Programs, Lenz said.

At this time, officials plan to offer the salad bar to all students two times a week. The schools also have a new computer scheduling system that was first used this summer.

Noble, who celebrated his own birthday Aug. 11, said young patrons of the game room were urged to sign up for the party when they visited the business in late July. “We had it just to give the kids some refreshments and something to do—have a good time,” said Noble, manager of the North Main Street fun room. “It didn’t get wild, they behaved themselves.” Thirty youngsters celebrated August birthdays at the game room owned by Judy and Jack Quantrell. Contests were held to see who could get the highest score in Mat Mania, Super Basketball and Galaga. Winners were Tim Bracy, Scott Phenix and Rob Pluchinsky of Olivet.

The language on the recall ballot for Maple Valley school board berates three members for not following “policy.” The only “policy” infrac­ tion by one of those three was motivated out of courtesy to Superintendent Carroll Wolff. Isn’t it interesting?! Consider “policy” when, a Maple Valley implement dealer sits on the committee that recommends buying a tractor and equipment for the Ag program — and the ad­ ministration asks for one bid only — from that SAME im­ plement dealers for $25,000 tax money. Isn’t that interesting?! The superintendent has created “policy” of his own by writing his own contract each year and using his own procedure for opening and procuring bids for work and supplies. Wouldn’t it be interesting? If we could find how many other “Concerned Citizens” are more concerned with their pocketbooks than with a quali­ ty education for Maple Valley kids. Vote NO on the first recall so we All can get On with the job! Jan Kalnbach Nashville Resident paid for water hook-up in Nashville To the editor: In regard to the letter in the Maple Valley News on August 11, 1987, from Elaine Bennett, I thought it was only fair to the village ofNashville to respond to it. No. 1 - It wasn’t a year or so ago, it was six years ago that I was hooked up to the village water. No. 2 - It was me, (a single woman at the time) not a man 945-9554 tor ACTION Want-Ads Can 9 to 5:30 Daily living next door in a mobile home. No. 3-1 was quoted by the village that the water would be brought to my property line only. It was up to me and my expense to have it put into my home. I chose to hire the village at my expense to bring it into my mobile home. (It was charged by the foot.) No. 4 - My water was not hooked into my home; they only brought it to the well pit, which is about half way to my home. No. 5 -1 did pot feel that I was treated any different because I was a woman and not a man. Finally, I feel we are a “Friendly Village.” Sincerely, Mrs. Michael (Jean) Appelman Veterans pleased with response to organization To the editor: We, The Vietnam Veterans of America Maple Valley Chapter 329, want to thank the members of our com­munities for all the support shown us since we started our chapter last February. For years we have been portrayed as unstable members of society. In reality we are your neighbors. We hold down jobs, attend your churches, our kids go to your schools. We are just men handling life one day at a time just like anyone else. This last April our neighbors made us truly feel a part of these communities and welcome. Our proudest mo­ ment was when we marched in the Syrup Festival parade in Vermontville. You, our friends and neighbors gave us a standing ovation from one end of the parade route to the other. The way we were received was overwhelming and very emotional for all of us. We were a little nervous us.We about how the people in the stands would react to us, but we soon saw that there was no reason for us to be uncomfortable. Our chapter is still growing and we are trying to be active in the schools and communities. We have been ap­ proached by various groups for donations and given accordingly. We are working on a pro­ ject that we hope will serve the entire community and the families of men who did not return from Vietnam. We are erecting a monument to the war deaths from Eaton and the topic of conversation at most dinner tables will be the newest recall target. This recall has split the community and the schools.

But it may also harbor insects, mice and rats. Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, points out that wood is the natural home of carpenter ants, a number of wood-borning beetles and countless other insects. Though most of them don’t generally damage the wood in structures, they are not unwilling to move indoors for the winter. Carpenter ants, of course, can do extensive damage to homes. Stacking firewood against the exterior wall ofyour home puts the insects in a good spot to locate the little cracks around basement windows, the tiny openings in foundations or the loose-fitting storm door that can let them into your home. Once inside, they may be only a nuisance. Or they may settle in to do some real damage. Glenn Dudderar. Extension wildlife specialist, points out that a big stack of wood also offers cover and winter shelter for rodents. Safe from sight behind and under the stacked wood, the rodents are free to exercise their talent for finding their way into your home. It takes only a onefourth inch opening to provide entry for a mouse; only a onehalf inch hole to let a rat in­ side. They’ll also scurry in through an open door or window, if they get the chance. To keep such unwanted houseguests outside, close up the openings around windows and doors, cracks in the foun­ dation, holes in screens and windows, and any other wnHTflinnnTnnnnnnTTnTTnTTnnffnnnnrnffnTnTfffniw Barry County Extension CALENDAR OF EVENTS August 17-20 - Dairy Days, MSU.

This is also 6,000 fewer than in 1983, according to the Federal/State Michigan Agricultural Statistics Service. Low commodity prices, financial woes and the 1986 fall flood have all continued to the recent drop in farm numbers. A farm is defined as “a place as ofJune 1 that sells or could sell $1,000 of agricultural products during the year.” Total land in farms at 11,300,000 acres is unchang­ ed from a year ago. The average size of a farm in Michigan is 195 acres, up 7 acres from last year. Nationally, the number of farms is estimated at 2.17 million, down 2 percent from 1986. The number of farms has declined each year since 1982. Total land in farms is one billion acres, down one percent from 1986. Land in farms has declined every year since reaching its peak at 1.2 billion acres in 1954. Help Wanted ACT NOW a hostess receiving $40 free merchandise will make it easy to get bookings.

Recommended improved bluegrass varieties for sunny areas include Adelphi, Aspen, Banff, Baron, Bristol, Challenger, Cheri, Columbia, Eclipse, Enmundi, Glade, Majectic, Merit, Midnight, Rugby, Trenton, Vanessa, Vieta. Common bluegrass varieites suitable for Michigan lawns include Delta, Kenblue, Park and South Dakota Cer­ tified. These are suggested for inclusion in blends for lawns where high management will not be followed. August 15-September 15 is the suggested time to seed a lawn. Of the several grass species and many varieties commercially available, some are better adapted to lawns in Michigan than others. The following list ofrecom­ mended varieties is not all in­ clusive, but includes those varieties which performed well in tests at MSU and throughout the country. When selecting a single species, such as Kentucky bluegrass, select two to four varieties to blend together. This practice will increase pest and stress tolerance. Kentucky Bluegrass With proper management, Kentucky bluegrass forms a long lasting lawn. It grows rapidly in cool, moist weather, but irrigation during hot, dry periods and fairly high levels of nitrogen are needed to maintain high quality. Most Kentucky bluegrass varieties are best suited for sunny lawns. No single bluegrass cultivar is ideal in color, disease resistance, vigor and amount of care re­ quired for best performance. Choose “improved” over Fine-leafed Fescues These cool-season tur­ fgrasses are more tolerant of shade and infertile, droughy soils than bluegrass. They will not tolerate wet, poorly drain­ ed soils. Compared to bluegrasses, fescues require less fertilizer and water. Because they are susceptible to leafspot diseases that cause midsum­ mer thinning, they are usually used in combination with bluegrass. The three fin'e-leafed SCHOOL IS STARTING SOON!

Creeping red fescue is a sod former; the others are bunch-type grasses. Recommended creeping fescue varieties for Michigan include Estica, Flyer, Pennlawn; chewings fescues in­ clude Banner, Beauty, Enjoy, Mary, Jamestown, Shadow, Weekend, Wintergreen; and hard fescue, Aurora, Biljart, Reliant, Scaldis. Perennial Ryegrasses Rapid seed germination and quick establishment are the big advantages of perennial ryegrasses. They tend to re­ quire intermediate levels of soil fertility and good drainage. Ryegrasses are bunch grasses rather than sod formers. The common or unimproved types tend to be short-lived because they lack winter hardiness. They are also coarse-looking and have very poor mowing quality. Improved cultivars are more winter hardy and better look­ ing in lawns. They blend well with improved bluegrasses. Improved perennial ryegrass varieties recom­ mended for Michigan include All Star, Blazer, Citation II, Fiesta, Gator, Manhatten II, Palmer, Prelude, Premier, Ranger, Repell, and Tara. Turfgrass Species not Recommended. Some grass species are not recommended for use in Michigan lawns. These in­ clude tall fescue (such as Ken­ tucky 31), bentgrasses, Zoysiagrass and annual ryegrass. Tall fescue is a very coarsetextured, short-lived perennial turfgrass species. It has good tolerance to intense wear, heat and drouth. It is susceptible to snow mold and tends to lack adequate cold hardiness to survive Michigan winters. Avoid Kentucky 31 and Alta in mixtures or alone. Bentgrasses form an ex­ tremely fine-textured, dense, high quality turf under proper management. But good cultural practices are so ex­ pensive and time-consuming that they are highly imprac­ tical for the ordinary homeowner. The primary use of bentgrass is on golf course greens. Bentgrass is not com­ patible with Kentucky bluegrass and is the most feeding drought stricken corn in state Dps on 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 com will practically eliminate the possibility of nitrate tox­ icity and prevent an abrupt change in the ration that could throw animals off-feed. Before harvesting droughtstressed com for silage, be sure all pesticides that have been applied to the crop are cleared for silage use. The in­ terval between final pesticide application and allowable harvest may differ for silage and grain. (Dyfonate, Counter and Furadan applied at plan­ ting time is not a problem.) The feed value of most silage made from droughtstressed com will be, at worst, 70 percent ofthe value of silage made from well­ eared com. More than likely, silage from drought-stressed com will have a feeding value ranging from 90 to 100 per­ cent of normal com silage, based on equal dry weights of the two feeds. Crude fiber will be somewhat higher and TDN MAPLE VALLEY Board of Education will appoint a... Facilities and Equipment Committee ...to study the needs of the school. Members of the committee will be chosen from volunteers Before September 10th If interested, please call superintendent’s office 852-9699 somewhat lower than that of normal silage because ears from drought-stressed corn may be 50 percent or more cob. Normal ears ofcom contain 20 percent cob.. Shelled com from droughtstressed plants will contain 90 to 100 percent of the feed value of normal shelled com, 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 com that is chopped for silage should range between 55 and 70 percent. Green barren stalks, which are likely to be abundant in drought-stressed com, 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 com are contained in each ton of silage harvested. If little or no grain is expected, a rough preharvest 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 com 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 $9 per ton, based on $1.80 com, but a top price will probably ran around $18 per ton. On a feed value basis, however, one ton of 30 per­ cent dry matter com silage will substitute for about onethird of a ton ofhay, which is worth $60 a ton, or $80, a value of $20 per ton of com silage. Contact the Eaton County Extension office for details on handling drought-stressed com. serious single weed of home lawns because it cannot be selectively controlled. Zoysiagrass is a perennial, warm-season turfgrass. It is slow to get established and then difficult to get rid of. As the ads for it claim, it is green during the heat ofthe summer when bluegrass turns brown, but during the cooler months it is the color of straw. Annual ryegrass, or Italian rye,' is an annual bunch-type grass that winter kills in Michigan. Ifused in seed mix­ tures, it competes with desirable grasses. A weekly report from - Frank M. Fitzgerald State Representative House members coll for probe of prison system Growing concern over the state’s problem-plagued prison system has prompted several state lawmakers to call for a special House-Senate committee investigation. Three Republican members of the House Corrections Committee initiated the call for special hearings. Representative Bill Van Regenmorter (R-Jenison) said that a committee with sub­ poena power may be the only way to get to the bottom of problems within the Department of Corrections. Reps. Philip Hoffman (R-Horton) and Bill Martin (R-Battle Creek) also signed a letter to House Speaker Gary Owen urging the probe. The lawmakers believe there are serious weaknesses in the administration and operation of the Department of Corrections. Within the past two years, the department has been hit with a lengthy list of problems including the murders of two prison neighbors in Jackson, and the killing of a guard and at least nine inmates at the State Prison of Southern Michigan in Jackson. In May, an inmate died during a straggle with guards at the prison. A federal judge also recent­ ly ruled that state prison of­ ficials are violating inmates’ constitutional rights by failing to provide proper clothing and access to legal assistance. The 88-page ruling ordered the state to submit a plan within 60 days to remedy those and other problems. If the Corrections Depart­ ment is poorly managed then something should be done to alleviate the problems. I think that a special committee is the proper way to get the job done. Legislative leaders should form such a group and begin public hearings immediately. Farmer Boys Market BULK FOODS • SALVAGE and SURPLUS GROCERIES 314 miles west of M-50 on W.

Bear said she pulled the car over to the side ofthe road and got oui to find flames burning underneath the front of the car.

There was no ‘round robin’ meeting with the superintendent because two of the board members had gone prior to the superintendent’s arrival. Lastly, it appears that no official board matters were discussed or transacted.” Hubka said Sauter had not gathered enough evidence to determine that there had been a meeting. “So he couldn’t call it a meeting but there are still some ununswered questions,” Hubka’said.

So I pulled off the road and I look­ ed under the hood and found that a fan belt was broken,” she said.

Bear fixed the belt Loren Lehman an effort to oust Lehman from the board for an alleged violation of procedure concerning the handling of a December, 1 986 evaluation of Superintendent Carroll J. Wolff. “He (Shuster) believed it to be legally clear,” Hubka said. “The election commission thought it was clear when I turned it in and he (Shuster) affirmed that.” Dwyer said Shuster stated Jhe language was poorly worded because it did not make any particular reference to Lehman but only to the board policies and athletic committee, of which Lehman was a member. “He felt the law required him to approve the language anyway. He said, ‘it is not meaningless gibberish... it meets the test of mediocre clarity.’ The wording just barely gets there,” Dwyer said. Lehman was given another 21 days by the court to file a second appeal if he so chooses. ‘ ‘I told Loren he did have a right to appeal,” said Dwyer. “He said he would think about it but he seemed inclin­ ed not to because it takes too much energy away from the work the board has to do.” Sports, entertainers, arts & crafts featured at Hastings Summerfest Musical groups, arts and crafts booths, a parade and and the leaks and took the car sporting activities will for a test drive. highlight the SummerFest ’87 “I got to Musser’s (service lineup in Hastings, Aug. station) and I heard it sputter­ 27-30. ing and I smelled gas real Featured attractions on strong...I got 216 miles down Saturday include the Grand the road and wham!” Parade beginning at noon and Bear said the entire car was the Chenille Sisters at 1:30 gutted and the tires were p.m. melting when the fire depart­ Street dances take place on ment arrived on the scene.

VERY NICE 3 Commission. “She just asked me if I’d 'like to and I said yes,” noted French, “and she went around and did all the paperwork.” French said she was not sur­ prised at the acceptance into the historical record. “I knew it had a lot of history in back of it,” she said. “It changed hands many times. This house was lost in a card game at one time before my father bought it. “I think in those days, peo­ ple did a lot of gambling. I think a Mexican was one of the owners... It didn’t always change hands legally.” A 20-page geneology of the home is on file at Putnam Public Library in Nashville. French said when paint was removed from the walls ofher study, nine coats were found to have been applied over the years. She also noted the house had one ofthe first furnaces in Nashville. French’s parents, George W. Gribbin and Anna (Down­ ing) Gribbin owned the house until 1958 when Sena returned with her family from Arizona to live in the home after the passing of her mother. “I love it. I’ve always liked this house,” she said. She and her daughter, Sally McLean are currently in the process of restoring the house to it’s original varnish from 1876 when the house was built. “They don’t build them like this anymore,” French said.

Bonnie was one of the good sports who helped the Barry County Chapter of the American Cancer Society raise funds to fight cancer during a Great American Lock-up in Hastings fast week. Employees of the Thornapple Manor, where Bonnie is director of nursing, arranged for Bonnie to be arrested for the cause. To earn her bail from the mock jail, she raised $135 by seeking pledges via the telephone. Putting Bonnie in jail is Bob Andrus, corrections officer at the Barry County Jail who was wearing a borrowed police uniform while volunteering for the cancer society.

Tuesday, August 25 1987 — Page 8 • REGULAR MEETING • Village off Nashville Minutes Maple Valley Schools has something for you! Late August and early September is back to school time for children. In Maple Valley, school starts Sept I. However, children are not the only peo­ ple who will be returning to school. The Maple Valley School District is part of a Community and Adult Educa­ tion consortium with Lakewood and Ionia Public Schools. Adult education classes begin Sept. 14. There are many reasons why adults return to school, such as self fulfillment, a pro­ mise to a parent, to set a good example for children, to get a better job, to feel more com­ plete personally, and the list goes on. The Maple Valley Board invites and encourages resident adults, who are without a diploma, to return to school and complete their secondary education. At the May school board meeting, members were in- formed by Lakewood about the possibility of Lakewood hiring two community representatives - one from Vermontville and one from Nashville. These two people, working part time, will spend most oftheir time in the com­ munity helping to bridge the communication barrier bet­ ween community and school, helping in two-way communication. They will be making home calls to get to know people better, to help share what is happening in schools, and to listen to your ideas and concerns. They can help in rumor control. They will look for opportunities that are positive, uniting, helpful and building a better quality of life for the district’s citizens. They will also gather suggestions of the types of activities people desire for children and adults after school hours, evening, and weekends. CARD OF THANKS I would like to thank my family and friends who helped make my surprise party at Mulberry Golf Course a success. Thank you again. Sig and Bea Johnson Their September duties will be centered on getting adults enrolled in adult education to complete their high school education. These two people when hired will be introduced to the community. Kay Hartzler, coordinator for the Maple Valley Com­ munity Education program states, “We have gained the endorsement from the Ver­ montville and Nashville PTO’s, the Band Boosters, and the Athletic Boosters. They are encouraging other adults, both in and out oftheir organizations, to return to school. They are supporting education for both children and adults.” Community education is a state funded program that identifies communities’ wants — HELD JULY 23, 1987 — and desires, identifies resources to meet these needs and then develops programs to meet these needs. It covers the age group from the cradle to the grave. That gets com­ munity people into their schools for activities they want and enjoy. Although community education is a small part ofthe education that goes on in the school, the board supports the important possibilities and op­ portunities community educa­ tion provides for Maple Valley. For more information about Community Education, to get enrolled, or to share your ideas for a class, or ac­ tivity, call 852-9275, and ask for the Community Education Office. Girl Scout leaders make plans for upcoming year Returning Girl Scout leaders gathered recently to plan for the upcoming year. It is hoped that the Nashville scouting program­ ing will have enough leaders for two Daisy troops, six Brownie troops, three Junior troops and one Cadette troop. Several experienced leaders will be returning this year and continuing with their scouts. New leaders will be needed for the Daisy troops and some Brownie troops. Activities planned for the area scouts in addition to troop activities include a fami­ ly potluck, Halloween party, roller skating, Christmas caroling, Mother-Daughter aerobics and a Father­ Daughter event. A community service project is in the works. If you have a daughter in kindergarten through twelfth grade who is interested in scouting, sign the form that will come home through the schools and she’ll get placed in a troop. The forms will be sent home the second week of school. Ifyou are interested in becoming a leader contact Ann Taylor 852-0784.

Eaton County adults can learn wilderness survival skills Eaton County older youths and adults who want to learn more about wilderness living should take advantage of the opportunity to participate in the 4-H Challenge wilderness adventure training program, says Nancy Thelen, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent. Through the 4-H Challenge program, participants learn a variety of skills, including backpacking, canoeing, cross­ country skiing, snowshoeing, orienteering, and wilderness cooking and survival. According to Thelen, coun­ ty residents interested in becoming part of the Challenge program and, after training, serving as group leaders for young people, should sign up now. The 4-H Challenge leader training for this region will be held Sept. 11-13, Oct. 9-11, Nov. 6-8 and Jan. 15-17, pro­ bably in Barry County, with exact locations to be announc­ ed later. Thelen says that anyone interested in becoming a Challenge leader must at­ tend the four weekend inten­ sive training sessions, pass a comprehensive written test and take a Multi Media Stan­ dard First Aid and CPR course. Additional training in areas such as rock climbing and rap­ peling, caving, advanced canoeing, winter camping and survival (including siding and snowshoeing) and extended backpacking is available. “Because Challenge leaders will be involved in high adventure situations and be responsible for youngsters participating in wilderness outings, they must be prepared,” Thelen points out. “After completing all the training, Challenge leaders become certified and are qualified to take youth on wilderness adventures. “It’s worth all the hard work and studying if you like the challenge of the out-of­ doors,” Thelen adds. To be eligible for the 4-H Challenge certification pro­ gram, applicants must be at least 21 years old. Young peo­ ple aged 16-20 years may • become associate leaders, who must be accompanied by a certified adult leader when taking a group of youngsters on a Challenge outing. Train­ ing for both leader types is identical. Eaton County residents in­ terested in more information or in signing up for the 4-H Challenge Leader certification program should contact the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service office at 543-2310 or 372-5594.

The group went by boat to the island at 10 a.m. on the 12th and returned to the mainland at 1 p.m. on Sun­ day, Aug. 16. The Scouts participating in the backpacking trip were re­ quired to be of second class rank or above because of the skills which were needed for a trip of this nature. It was necessary for the group to ar­ rive on the island fully prepared, as there are no stores, supplies, gasoline or fuel. Medical attention is not available. Sick or injured peo­ ple may be stranded on the island until emergency evaucation by Coast Guard helicopter can be accomplished. The Scouts needed to be in good physical shape and need­ ed to carry a first aid kit. They needed to know their limita­ tions and also had to purify their drinking water. North Manitou Island was acquired by the National Park Service in September 1984 as an addition to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshores Park. Prior to this time the island was under private ownership. The island is 7% miles long and 414 miles wide, is com­ prised of 15,000 acres, an dhas 20 miles of shoreline. The island is managed as a wilderness area, thus wilderness camping regula­ tions are in effect on Manitou. It is open to camping with restrictions.

They may not be set up with 200 feet of water sources. All trash must be car­ ried off the island. Open fires are prohibited so gas or alcohol stoves must be used for cooking. The Scouts were able to cir­ cle the island on their adven­ ture. They traveled south from the village boat dock and ranger station to the cemetary on Wednesday where they camped. They then day pack­ ed further south to the lighthouse and Piping Plover (an endangered bird) nesting area. On Thursday the group broke camp and backpacked west to the Cat Hole where they left their packs and day hiked to Old Baldy and the Big Windfall at the southwestern end of the island, returning for their packs on their way north to Swenson’s where they camped for the night. On Friday, the Scouts hiked north and east to Maleski’s which was on the shoreline. Here the group enjoyed swim­ ming in Lake Michigan after climbing down a 200 foot bluff to the lake. On Saturday they spent the night at the village campground, which consists of eight campsites, so the group could be close to the boat dock for their Sunday morning trip back to the mainland at Leland. The trip required pre­ planning and organization by the Scouts. A “shakedown” or trial campout was required to be sure they could handle the primitive conditions, could demonstrate needed skills, and had the physical ability to carry a backpack which weighed about one quarter of each boy’s weight. “My goal for this trip was to give these young men a positive scouting experience, develop skills and in­ dependence. I think we met these goals, plus saw and ex­ perienced true wilderness and the wonders of nature. Each of the Scouts performed well and should be proud of what they were able to ac­ complish,” said Scoutmaster Ossenheimer. Scouts participating in this experience were Jason Brown?

September 1, 1987 Castleton Township seeking critical bridge funding by Shelly Sulser Some $300,000 in federal critical bridge funding is be­ ing sought by Castleton Township officials for the replacement of a bridge on Greggs Crossing Road that has been out of service for nearly five years. Castleton Township Super­ visor Justin Cooley said con­ cerns expressed by the Maple Valley School District, the Nashville Post Office and area residents have prompted the board to seek a solution to the bridge which has become an obstacle and an expense to motorists. Cooley said citizens living on alternate routes near the bridge have complained about increased traffic past their homes since its closing, while excess funds must be spent by the school district to operate an extra school bus in the area and rural postal carriers must drive an added 1,100 miles per year to complete their routes because they are detoured by the unsafe bridge. Age and weather has caused the steel girders to rust off the bridge, an abutment on the southwest corner has decayed as has the the foundation, Cooley said. Cooley said the bridge was first blocked off four to five This bridge over the Thornapple River on Greggs Crossing Road near Nashville has been out of use for .nearly five years.

Trys by officials to replace the bridge were hampered by an adjacent pro- perty owner who opposed the reopening of the bridge. There was no opposition expressed at an Aug. 21 public hearing on the matter, however, Cooley said. Although Cooley does not expect to be awarded the federal bridge funds until 1988 or 1989, recent action was taken to seek support of BRIDGE, cont. on page 2 Three injured in broadside crash near Nashville, Thursday by Shelly Sulser The passenger and driver of this truck were treated and released from Pennock Hospital.

At right is Trooper Terry Klotz of the Michigan State Police Hastings Post taking information for a report. (Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) A broadside collision at the corner of Barryville and Lawrence Roads near Nashville Thursday sent three people to Pennock Hospital in Hastings with minor injuries. Kitrina Hoffman, 17, of 6265 Thornapple Lake Rd., Nashville, was treated for head injuries and minor abra­ sions and contusions, while her mother, Loretta Hoffman, 41, was treated for a lacera­ tion. The victims were transported by the Hastings Ambulance Service and the Nashville Ambulance Service. William Shellington, 62, of 149 E. Cloverdale Rd., Hastings, complained of sore ribs and sought his own treat­ ment at Pennock Hospital, Michigan State Police Trooper Terry Klotz from the Hastings Post said. Klotz said the younger Hof­ fman was driving a 1987 S-10 pickup truck north on Barryville Road at 2:45 pjh. when she apparently slowed for a stop sign and then pro­ ceeded into the intersection, striking the Shellington car on the driver’s side, which was westbound on Lawrence Road. The Shellington vehicle skidded off the wet pavement and came to rest in a corn field. Neither Kitrina Hoffman nor her mother, who was a passenger in the truck, were wearing seatbelts at the time of the mishap, Klotz said. Shellington was wearing his seatbelt. Hoffman was cited for failure to stop. Ambulance personnel (left) prepare to transport Kitrina Hoffman after her truck, right, collided with another vehicle near Nashville. �The Mople Valley New*.

The Methodist raised a frame church in 1870, also, but it burned ten years later and was replaced with the present-day brick so cannot be included in our 1875 “still­ standing” list. One other structure still standing today that existed in close to its present form when Albert Olds opened his magnificent new home is the Wolever Real Estate office at 126 S. Main, although it is not in its original location. This little building first stood on the southeast corner of the Main and Washington streets intersection until it was moved to its present site in 1899 for use as a medical of­ fice by Dr. R.P. Comfort. Later, the office and doctor’s adjacent home were purchas­ ed by longtime Nashville physician Dr. Edgar T. Mor­ ris, then a relative newcomer to town. Four houses still standing in Nashville were built between 1863-70 by the George Gregg family, and are believed to be among the oldest in the village.

In its original location the little office building had serv­ ed in several capacities, in­ cluding once as a cobbler shop for noted local band leader Hiram Walrath. Coincidental­ ly another building later used by him as a shoe repair shop is still standing and may also date to that same era, although we have been unable to secure conclusive data on its construction. We are speaking of the former Parady building at 102 North Main Street (at Sher­ man St.) which is commonly called the old “dug-out.” It was owned by early Nashville justice ofpeace, president and postmaster Emory Parady, a Civil War vet who helped capture Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth, and who settled in Nashville in 1870 as a cobbler. We do know that two cur­ rently standing Nashville landmarks were built the year after the Olds home was com­ pleted. They are the presentday Catholic Church, built in This is the only church still standing in Nashville that existed in 1875, the year the A. W. Olds showcased their palatial new home on South Main. Built as the Christian Church in 1870, this sanctuary at 223 Washington Street is now home to Trinity Gospel. Over the years, it has also housed the local Congregationalists and later, the Baptists. The first worship service in a traditional church building in Nashville was conducted here in 1870; before that, homes, the schoolhouse and even a grist mill were used for that purpose. cottage" at 336 N.

Goucher. 1876 by the Baptists, and the primary schoolhouse that served as the Old Nashville News office for 90 years after it was moved to its Maple Street location in 1885. Many of the homes and stores constructed in Nashville in the mid to late 1870s have since been tom down, the more noted being the opera house, the Wolcott House hotel and the Glasgow hardware. Among the. structures built before the end of the 1870s decade are the still-standing 1878 William Boston home (presently Nathan Lewis residence) at 717 S. Durkee Street (south M-66) and the Ainsworth & Brooks elevator, built in 1879 at 301 S. Main, currently undergoing demolition. It is clear that no Nashville structure of the 1870s has maintained its dignity and ar­ chitectural integrity quite as grandly as has the Albert W. Olds home. WANTED Will do your...

( �The Maple Volley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 1, 1987 — Page 6 TnnnnnrnrninnnrtnnininnnnnnnffnnnnTninnnnflffr From our readers Support for Ossenheimer Well I see by the news we will have a recall vote, thanks to the people that kept the newspaper plastered with their antics, so as to have their names in the paper. As a tax­ payer, this bums me up. If they want to see their names in the paper, let them pay for it. Let’s not tap the school budget, just because we don’t agree with all school board members. This school district has been known for budgeting money (just cut a few classes and lay off teachers.) That has been the rule of thumb for several years. And who suffers from that? The kids who attend the school. I am glad to say all my children graduated, before Supt. Carroll Wolff went on his special budget, because the school has suffered for a number of years. My five all went on to college and graduated. I understand, Mr. Wolff can take 1 % ofthe budget for the next 5 years to pay legal costs. What I want to know is where does the money come from now? General fund? As a retired factory worker, if I had been given a bad evaluation, I would have been ashamed. I wouldn’t have advertised it. I would have tried to do a betterjob. A bad evaluation is a warning to get your act together. I was shocked by the remark by Jerry Brumm that he deserved his share of the school business. Is this at­ titude why only one bid was needed for a tractor? That’s not good business or budgeting. This school board has ac­ complished a lot, in my opi­ nion, for the good of the kids.

Have you taken the time to look into the lives ofthese two people. They have made a beautiful home life for their children. They have very smart, educated, and well­ liked children. They’re always there - they care. It troubles us so much to see six people who have given so much oftheir time - to have to go through so much now with this recall. We have been watching closely for 10 months now. A lot of people who become the first to question our school board, have now become bored with the issues, embarrassed to have been in­ volved with a concern that has caused so much grief for so long to these families. Some of them have just decided what was being argued about was policy, but happy lives were more important. Whatever! We really hope some more people will begin to realize what really is more important. A few negative mistakes made are hardly enough to change the lives of Maple Valleys positive efforts made by the present school board in the past couple of years. The devotion these people have shown surely has something to say about them. How many nights would you have come out knowing full good and well you are going to be asked to defend every decision you are making, sometimes arguing for the next 3!6 hours or better, putting up with obscene phone calls, trash mail, etc., for only $200 a year. The money is not the devotion folks it’s our children and what is in the best interest for them. Please think carefully before we allow any one man or a small group of people to influence us to lose. Possibly the most active school board we could have is working for our children. Remember they have something to lose, their children are in our system too. Please Vote No on Recall for our children’s sake. Let’s just get on with the job. Phillip & Bobbie Weller Vermontville ★ ATTENTION ★ James Brumm is ordained into ministry James L.

I feel excitement and enthusiasm in our program from the past seasons and the outlook is good for this season,” said Reese. When you talk about the Lions for 1987, start with Sheri Forell, Kim Bahs, and Kelly Hoefler. Forell, a 5’5” senior guard, was all SMAA first team selection for a se­ cond time averaging 17.1 points and 3 steals a game. Bahs, a 5’8” senior forward, averaged 4.5 points and 7 rebounds a game. Hoefler, a 5’7” senior forward, averag­ ed 4.5 points a game but will be sidelined until October recovering from knee surgery. The Lions’ other returning players are part-time starter Karris True, Lesley Dipert, Diona Morawski and Ronda Steinbrecher. Maple Valley did lose two all conference SMAA first team starters in Dawn Morawski (9.5 points), and Beth Starring (11.5 points) through graduation. Also graduated were Debbie Hull, Carmen Hamilton, and Kim Smith. Newcomers should help make up for losses of those players, led by 5’9” Kristen Kraai. Other juniors are Stephanie Whitmore, Deanna Hagon, Kristin Royston, and Tracy DeGroot. Two sophomores should also give added strength in Angie Bahs and Heidi Reese.

Main, Vermontville, 726-0100 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Tuesday, September 1. 1987 — Page 9 Lion football team to scurry for SMAA topspot It might not be the prime season for Maple Valley to plow through a rebuilding year, not with the apparent strength of this year’s Southern Michigan Athletic Association. The Lions, 5-4 overall and 4-2 in the SMAA in 1986, return only 11 lettermen, but do have 36 ballplayers on the roster. Third-year coach Guenther Mittelstaedt said the most glaring aspect of his young Lion team is the inexperience. “We’ve got good kids, but we lost our whole backfield and five of our seven offen­ sive linemen.” Thus on the surface it ap­ pears the Lions are in serious trouble this fall with the SMAA looking particularly rugged. Defending champion Pennfield is a good bet for a second straight crown while Bronson and Bellevue are im­ proved and could challenge. St. Philip is perennially tough. Olivet is due for a solid season, and Springfield has a new coach. “Everybody is going to be strong,” Mittelstaedt said. Despite only 11 lettermen, Mittelstaedt said the season isn’t automatically a washout. “I don’t know what it means,” he said ofthe lack of experience. “I know the kids have a good attitude and we have a lot of kids out so there’s a lot of positives. Whether that can overcome the lack of size though, I have no idea.” The strength of the Lion team begins in the backfield where Greg Flower (6-0, 185); Doug Franklin (5-11, 165), Mickey Tilley (5-7, 145) and Dan Siple (5-10, 175) return along with Hastings transfer student Jared Carrigan (5-9, 170), who rushed for over 1,000 yards and was an honorable mention all-state player a year ago. Maple Valley also returns Jeff Fisher (6-1,180), who saw some action at quarterback. “We have a number of backs who aren’t bad,” Mittelstaedt said. There is some experience on the line with Rob Cook (5-11, 230) and Matt Ewing (6-1, 170) and noseguard Dan Kellogg (5-7, 155). Other returnees include Eric Baker (5-11, 160) at guard. Dale Dickinson (6-0, 160) at end, Pat Hagon (5-9, 185). Mittelstaedt points to a handful of newcomers who could supply help immediate­ ly including Mike Everett (5-11, 190) at guard, Richard Meade (6-0, 150) at end and Cody Mattson (6-0, 160) at safety. _“They’re small, real Maple Valley football: (front row left to right) Don Roscoe, Ron Carpenter, Rick Merrill, Travis Swinson, Kevin Stewart, Matt Ewing (second row) Coach St. Onge, Cleon Brown, Randy Heinze, Eric Bignail, Derek Myall, Rob Cook, Steve Ainsworth (third row) Connie Krebs, Richard Meade, Mark Myers, Sean Bitgood, Ryan Hickey, Doug Franklin, Jeff Fisher, Ryan Cole (fourth row) Rob Harr, Scott Furlong, Greg Hulsebos, Manuel Moreno, Cody Mattson, Dan Siple, Dan Kellogg (fifth row) Chris Sipes, Mike Everett, Jared Carrigan, Mickey Tilley, Matt Forell, Eric Baker, Greg Flower, Kevin Pixley, Pat Hagon. small,” Mittelstaedt said of they’re aggressive.

The new item will be a four drawer legal file cabinet. In other council action, the board voted to extend the deadline for the acceptance of insurance bids from Sept. 10 to Sept. 24. Hughes suggested the measure to the council in response to an insurance com­ pany’s request. Hughes said he was impressed with the broker from Crosby and Henry insurance agents who asked for the extension. “He even went around the village and took pictures of all our property. I’ve never seen and insurance agent go to that extent to get us to buy their policy,” Hughes said. “I was impressed with the guy.” Hughes said the company needed more time to prepare its bid. The council will advertise for insurance bids an addi­ tional two weeks due to the deadline extension, it was noted.

The class will be offered to seven, eight and nine-year-olds and will be taught by Marinanne Martin. Each week children will view slides of a famous ar­ tist’s work. They will then use this artist’s style to create their own masterpiece. A short critque will conclude the class. This activity approach to learning about art and ar­ tists helps children to remember significant infor­ mation as they “learn by do- ing”. After such several lessons, they will be able to recall many details from even the earliest lessons, and to compare or contrast various artists through the vocabulary and concepts they have learned.

Wolff. Marilyn Roush of 4567 Assyria Rd., Nashville, spon­ sor of the recall effort, claims Ossenheimer is guilty of the violation because he was a member of the three-man Policies and Athletic Commit­ tee that conducted the evaluation. Although Roush would not further comment, her reasons for wanting to oust Ossenheimer from the board will be stated on election ballots as follows: Reasons for recall of Dale E. Ossenheimer, Jr., from Maple Valley School Board of Education. “For failure to follow superintendent evaluation pro­ cedure cover letter. The cover letter stated: 1. This commit­ tee (Board School Policy and Athletic Committee) will compile the evaluation and meet with the superintendent to discuss, explain and answer questions about the evalua­ tion. 2. Members ofthe board will see a composite evalua- tion prior to the time the superintendent receives it. Here is what happened: a.) A composite evaluation was hand delivered to the superintendent on a Sunday evening. No meeting was held to discuss, explain or answer questions about the evaluation by this committee as required by the procedure cover letter, b.) All board members did not see a composite evaluation prior to the superintendent receiving his on Sunday. In fact, one board member did not see his composite evalua­ tion until the following Wednesday evening after the superintendent received his.” The language was approved by the Barry County Election Commission, and appeared on petitions used to gather over School underway in Maple Valley The classrooms of the four Maple Valley School District buildings broke their silence last Tuesday as chattering students ready for another year took their seats.

In his printed ballot response to the charges, Ossenheimer states that “One of the two reasons given for this recall is that when the board finished the first part of its evaluation, one borad member did not see the evaluation form until after the superintenent got his copy. “This is because the form was delivered in good faith to the board member’s wife who promised to give it to her husband. “The second reason claims that the committee didn’t meet with the superintendent. The committee tried to meet with him, but on the day of the scheduled meeting, the superintendent told the board he was starting a six week leave and could not meet with the committee and they did not force him to. ‘‘The superintendent himself, by his contract, Dale Ossenheimer, Jr. demands that the board evaluate him twice a. year.

Vermontville Township Police Department officers, who have been on indefinite layoff since March 1, now have no hope of regaining their jobs. The Vermontville Village Council voted 4-1, Thursday, to liquidate the assets of the former two-man force. “I don’t forsee us bringing the police department back,” said Village President Beverly Sue Villanueva. “We might as well dissolve the depart­ ment and sell the equipment.” The council, which had complete control of the department while billing the township for one fifth of the cost, has exhausted all resources that kept the service in tact. “The budget just doesn’t have it,” Villanueva said. She added that no state or federal grants were found to be available for funding police services. The council first questioned the future of the department with township officials last November when notification was received that the Federal Revenue Sharing Program would be discontinued. Previously, the council had earmarked the $7,000 in revenue sharing funds to the police budget that totaled more than $54,000 annually. “There is just no money coming in. With the cost of in­ surance and everything and no revenue sharing, you just can’t run a department,” Villanueva said. Department assets to be sold include the patrol car, radios, radar, antennas, uniforms, shotguns and other miscellaneous equipment. Despite suggestions a local constable be obtained or that speed bumps be installed in the village to discourage speeding, the council voted in favor of eliminating the department. “We’ll just have to con­ tinue to depend on Eaton County,” Villanueva said. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 8, 1987 — Page 2 Vermontville residents to get summer break on sewer billing by Shelly Sulser Vermontville residents will no longer be billed for 1,000 gallons of sewer usage for May, Jvne, July and August, the village council decided unanimously Thursday.

Nehmer noted since sewer rates increased July 1, a number of complaints have been received. One was found to have had a leaky toilet and one had a faulty meter. “I think a lot of people are looking for their leaks,” noted water committee chair­ man Rod Harmon. “This cost How can a multiple car family minimize insurance costs?

Oldtimers have long con­ curred that early Nashville was a town of busy sawmills and boisterous saloons. Main Street brawls were a common sight, especially on pay day. “The principal business of that period was very, very wet, there being at least eight saloons,” wrote the late Ethel Parrish Stansell in a reminiscence published in The Nashville News in 1955. The author noted that there were at least three saloons still thriv­ ing when she was a small child. “These three were notorious,” added Mrs. Stansell, “and fond mamas, sending small daughters to the store, always sent them with this admonition: ‘And remember, don’t go on THAT side of the street’ [where the saloons were located].” The writer recalled that the saloons were so blatantly notorious that the respectable matrons of the community wrecked one establishment and kept the proprietor cower­ ing in a locked room for days. Temperance efforts in the village may even predate The Nashville News, which was founded in October, 1873. Early items indicate an active anti-saloon movement close to that time. “A goodly number of men of the town met at the M.E. Church Tuesday night and organized a- Gentlemen’s Temperance League, to aid the ladies in their attempt to drive the saloons from town,” advised The News the first week of May, 1874. “In the heat of the liquor discussion, the crying need for a new school seems to have been forgotten,” lamented Editor Orno Strong, an outspoken advocate of bet­ ter educational facilities, an organized fire department and other community im­ provements. A feisty 19-yearold (some accounts say 21) when he came here from Lawton to establish the week­ ly, Strong’s writings also reflect a firm pro-temperance stand. The young editor not only took Nashville to task for the evils of intemperance, he fre­ quently aimed sharp jabs at neighboring towns. In March 1876, Strong labeled it a “disgrace to the county” that Hastings, “a burg of2,000 in­ habitants, supports 14 saloons.” He wrote in June of that year of traveling on Saturday to the county seat, where he counted more than 200 teams (downtown) at noon time. “We noted a couple whiskey fights in progress on Jefferson Street,” added Strong. “This thoroughfare NOTICE The deadline for submit­ ting insurance bids to the Village of Nashville has been extended to September 24, 1987 at 5:00 p.m. Pamela Godbey Village Clerk — OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK — NEW MOVIES: Crocodile Dundee • Nightmare on Elm St. Ill • Three Amigos! • Black Widow • Wisdom • The Golden Child • Bill Cosby: 49 • Crimes of the Heart • Pirates • Witchboard • Hannah and Her Sisters • Jumpin Jack Flash • The Morning After • Mosquito Coast • Wanted Dead or Alive • Children of a Lesser God • Streets of Gold • The Color of Money • Thunder Warrior II • Heartbreak Ridge • Firewalker • Nothing In Common • Peggy Sue Got Married • Little Shop of Horrors • Ferris Bueller's Day Off • Legal Eagles • Soul Man • My Demon Lover • Over the Top • Critical Condition.

However, a group of citizens got wind of the move to license such a place, secured 125 signatures on a petition objecting to the pro­ posal and presented their case to the village council. “It now appears Vermont­ ville will try another century without a saloon,” quipped Strong. By June 1880, Strong was being sought as a speaker for Nashville’s Red Ribbo Reform Club. The editor gave a brief talk that month on the topic, “Sowing Wild Oats.” The local reform club had been organized more than three years prior. “Prof. Dickey of Hastings will be here tonight with a couple of loads of reformed drunkards, to hold a grand temperance meeting inthe opera house,” advised The News in February, 1877. Following that appearance by the professor, the Nashville group was organiz­ ed with 136 men signing the pledge. James McGraw was elected president; Milton Flaharty, secretary; Charles H. Brady, financial secretary; and William Jones, treasurer. The following month the Nashville club held a mass meeting at Vermontville with the result that a Red Ribbon group was formed there, boasting a membership 100 strong. “Temperance rallies and Red Ribbon Club meetings are the order of the day throughout the county,” noted The News in March, 1877. Within weeks strong active clubs had been organized in Nashville, Hastings, Mid­ dleville and Woodland. “Hurrah for the Red Rib­ bon Reform Clubs,” com­ mented Editor Strong in April. “Town Meeting day this year was a quite and orderly occasion throughout the county, in contrast to other years, when whiskey has flowed like water and fights have marred the day.” The local group fitted up a reading room in Nashville and raised money by staging various theatrical productions at the newly-built opera house run by Elihu Chipman. “Ten Nights in a Barroom” and “The Fruits of the Wine Cup” were just two of the successful 1878 plays. The first production, however, noted Editor Strong, was somewhat disrupted “by a rowdy, drunken gang’’ from Vermontville. Soon the Nashville temperance effortexpanded to include youths. “A Pink Ribbon Club for Nashville's chapter of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union was formed in 1877, and two years later the ladies made news when they invaded council chambers to demand village fathers look into the matter of hard cider being sold by a local bakery. This WCTU group photo shows members at a meeting in 1936, at a time when it was comprised primarily of ladies from the Evangelical Church-(where Baptists are now located) on Phillips Street. The lady sitting in front of the others is Jennie (Jarrard) Myers-Hill. From left in front row are Alice Pennock; unidenti­ fied; Emily Mix; unidentified; Gertrude Lowell and Ella Taylor. Back row, from left, are two unknown ladies; Hattie Weaver; Cora Parks: Elizabeth Gage; Nellie Brumm; a couple other unidentified ladies; Theresa Douse; Virginia Higdon; Eliza Bell; unidentified; Mary Townsend and an unidentified woman. (Several local folks helped name these ladies after we ran this photo last year with a plea for information. Adolph Douse supplied data on occasion and location: backyard of his mother's home at 414 N. Queen Street.) When Sojourner Truth lectured in Nashville in 1878 on behalf of the local temperance group, her age was probably closer to 81 than 101, as reported in The News of that day. The advanced years credited to the black abolitionist in those times is now disputed by many historians. Born Isabella Baumfree, a slave in Ulster County, New York, she adopted the new name as she began preaching and traveling in the mid-1840s. Sojourner is seen here in 1864 with President Lincoln at Washington, D.C., a few years before she settled in Battle Creek, where she died in 1883. This photo which was loaned for our earlier story by the late Marguerite Wilson was bought by her mother at the Upton Ave. Methodist Church during Sojourner's Battle Creek days. young ladies has been organized in Hastings and another is to be attempted here,” announced The News. “The members pledge themselves not to associate with any men who at any time uses alcoholic beverages.” A short time later the new group changed its name to the Young Ladies Literary Union, but its goals remained the same.

At least once, a celebrity appeared. “The gifted and renowned colored speaker, Sojourner Truth, has been secured to speak Sunday evening, May 5,” informed The News in 1878. “This remarkable former slave, now 101 years old, is on her final speaking tour and her appearance should not be missed by anyone in or near Nashville.” (Historians now dispute the advanced age credited to Sojourner at that time; some sources say she was born in 1797, which would have made her about 81 when she appeared in Nashville.) Close to 300 per­ sons attended the lecture by the outspoken black abolisitionist.

We have come far to effect the changes requested by the Citizens’ Ad­ visory Committee and we can go much farther. We can make this good school a better one. Beatrice Pino Beatrice Pino Together Dale Ossenheimer, Loren Lehman, David Hawkins and Bea Pino — four very different people from very different back­ grounds, have one major interest in common — the education of the children of Maple Valley. These four individuals have boldly taken a stand and given direction — as no others before them have dared, to make Maple Valley a better school for our kids. David Hawkins In the last six years, I have come to know Dale Ossenheimer, not only as a strong advocate of education, but also, in time as a friend. Dale’s “no-nonesense,” business-like approach to the operation of the school system has proven invaluable. His background in counsel­ ing and job placement lends the Board an added dimension of expertise to the educational needs and interests of the “real world” job seeker - to­ day’s student. Dale’s organizational skills, in my opinion, are second to none. His proven ability to look at a situation from all angles has aided us in contract negotiations, development of policy and labor relations. It is critically important to the education, and future of our children, that we as parents and citizens retain the best possible leaders for our School Board. Vote NO on recall on September 22. Loren Lehman Why am I fighting to stay on the Board of Education? Because I have a vision for Maple Valley kids. That vi­ sion is to provide them with the best opportunities that this district can afford. We have all witnessed the start of some great things - I want to be a part of that continuing effort. I support Dale Ossenheimer because I believe he shares my vision for Maple Valley students. He has always taken a stand for excellence, and has a continuing desire to provide young people with challenges, and help them succeed. Let us not fall back into complacency. Let us strive for excellence by supporting Dale Ossenheimer at the polls September 22. Loren E. Lehman reasons stated for recall be clear. It does not address the issue of honesty, truthfulness, accuracy or legitimacy. ,I believe the reasons stated for my recall are neither clear, honest, truthful, accurate or legitimate. One charge states that a board member did not receive Mr. Wolffs evaluation before Mr. Wolff saw it. However, it’s known that it was delivered to the board member’s wife in good faith, who in turn promised to give it to him. The second charge is failure to meet with Mr. Wolff. However, it’s known that it was Mr. Wolff who would not meet with us because of illness and we did not force him to. You have also heard recall leaders say that the Board was going to fire Mr. Wolff. It hasn’t hap­ pened. It’s all nonsense and it’s time to stop! It’s time to get on with the job. It’s time to get on with pro­ viding the children of this school district with a quality education. The type of educa­ tion that will meet their ever changing needs in an area of high tech. It’s time to make sure each and every tax dollar is wisely spent. It’s time to de­ mand excellence in every part of our schools from buildings and grounds to instruction and administration. The children who enter school this fall will graduate in the 21st century. They need the type of preparation that will allow for the changes of that new century. The recall leaders appear more concerned with their own ideas than the education of our children. They would appear to prefer a Board that is a “lap dog”, not a “watch dog”. I believe that the citizens in the Maple Valley School District want more. It’s time to get on with the job of improving our schools. My concern is the Maple Valley kids! Dale Ossenheimer Vote NO on Sept. 22 REL C«ALL It was Dale Ossenheimer who was constantly working for school continuity. It was Dale Ossenheimer who supported increasing classroom supplies. It was Dale Ossenheimer who orginated the “Utilization Committee. These are just a few of the reasons to support Dale Ossenheimer and cast a NO vote on September 22. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Readers urge 'no' vote on first recallballot Isn’t it interesting?! The language on the recall ballot for Maple Valley school board berates three members for not following “policy”. The only “policy” infrac­ tion by one of those three was motivated out of courtesy to Superintendent Carroll Wolff. Isn’t it interesting?! Consider “policy” when a Maple Valley implement dealer sits on the committee that recommends buying a tractor and equipment for the Ag program — and the ad­ ministration asks for one bid only — from that SAME im­ plement dealer for $25,000 tax money. Isn’t that interesting?! The superintendent has created “policy” of his own by writing and using his own procedure for opening and procuring bids for work and supplies. Wouldn’t it be interesting? If we could find how many other “Concerned Citizens” are more concerned with their pocketbooks than with a quali­ ty education for Maple Valley kids. Vote NO on the first recall so we ALL can get ON with the job! Jan Kalnbach Nashville Support for Ossenheimerwhere docs the money conic Well 1 see by the news we will have a recall vote, thanks to the people that kept the newspaperr plastered with their antics, so as to have their names in the paper. As a taxpayer, this burns me up. If they want to see their names in the paper, let them pay for it. Let's not tap the school budget, just because we don’t agree with all school board members. This school district has been known for budgeting money (just cut a few classes and lay off teachers.) That has been the rule of thumb for several years. And who suffers from that? The kids who attend the school. I am glad to say all my children graduated, before Supt. Carroll Wolff went on his special budget, because the school has suffered for a number of years. My five all went on to college and graduated. I understand, Mr. Wolff can take I % of the budget for the next 5 years to pay legal costs. What 1 want to know is from now? General fund? As a retired factory worker, if I had been given a bad evaluation, I would have been ashamed. I wouldn't have advertised it. I would have tried to do a better job. A bad evaluation is a warning to get your act together. 1 was shocked by the remark by Jerry Brumm that he deserved his share of the school business. Is this at­ titude why only one bid was needed for a tractor? That's not good business or budgeting. This school board has ac­ complished a lot. in my opi­ nion, for the good of the kids. I don't think any of our board members deserves recall, just don't vote for someone don't agree with. I consider Dale Ossenheimer to be a responsible and and caring caring man. man. The The kids kids ble of this district will lose a lot if he is recalled. Helen Swan 108 S. State St., Nashville Recall effort splits residents We would like you to know about all the great things that were happening in our schools before the recall. The millage was passed thanks to the previous Board of Education who had the guts to ask for help from the state. They suggested the Citizens Advisory Committee who informed us of the need for more millage. And the greatest thanks to the citizens who voted. Programs were reinstated that we thought we might never see again. Our halls were filled with music once again, but not for long. We start to hear the rumblings of a recall I don’t think that this had that great of an affect on .our kids last year but the way things are now it surely will this year. I hate to think that the topic of conversation at most dinner tables will be the newest recall target. This recall has split the community and the schools. Don’t you think it’s time to stop before it splits “our kids”? Rick and Cathy Spitzer Nashville No Vote urged in recall election To the people of Maple Valley School District: Vote NO on all recall elections. Lets put our tax dollars toward the education of the children, instead of recall elections. Let the recall organizers of this world use their energy for something more constructive and beneficial for our children and the community as a whole. Let’s start the new school year with support for our school system. Stop the nonsense!

(File photos) tourism can be big business Growers who sell produce directly to the consumer can increase their business by learning how to market the ex­ perience of spending a day at their farm. “A lot of the successful operators, whether they have a cut-your-own tree farm, a U-pick vegetable or orchard operation, or a farm market, realize the importance of ag/tourism,” says Sally Wheeker, A MSU Extension ag/tourism specialist. “What they are selling is much more than the produce, they are selling the experience of coming to their farm. Peo­ ple are willing to pay more for packs of fruit or vegetables if it’s in the right setting. It’s tourism that makes the difference.” To help operators adopt new ag/tourism ideas to their business, MSU has scheduled an ag/tourism conference Sept. 21-22 at Lake Michigan College’s Community Center, 2755 E. Napier Ave., Benton Harbor. The cost of the twoday conference is $50 per person. The conference fee includes two lunches, hospitality reception, a banquet dinner, general sessions, choice of two workshops, and a bus tour of ag/tourism businesses in Southwestern Michigan. Par­ ticipants will be able to choose one of four bus tours, each one touring various ag/tourism industries of the area. Southwestern Michigan was chosen because of its welldeveloped ag/tourism in­ dustry, Wheeker, coordinator of the Ag/Tourism Con­ ference, says. There are lots of vineyards and wineries, Upick fruit and vegetable opera­ tions and farm market businesses. The conference is designed to attract people who are ac­ tively involved in an ag/tourism industry, or are considering starting an opera­ tion,” Wheeker says. “The conference is aimed at operators of cider mills, Upick fruit and vegetable opera­ tions, farm markets, tree growers—anyone who is in­ volved in direct marketing to the tourist. It will also be good experience for community or county government represen­ tatives because ag/tourism has the potential for increasing local revenues.” for growers For additional details, con­ tact Allen Krizek at the Eaton County Cooperative Exten­ sion Service, 126 N.

I think that Mrs. Swan and most of the people in the school district would like to see as much of the school money as possible spent locally.

Responsible citizens and businesspeople have applaud­ ed this new practice brought about by the board of educa­ tion under the leadership of its President Dale Ossenheimer. You may recall that prior to Ossenheimer’s election as Maple Valley Board^ President the practice of the administra­ tion was to routinely violate board policy and state law by refusing to advertise for bids and open bids in public. Is it any wonder that some Notice of Special Recall Election of the Electors of these folks who used to Community Notices * H The Maple Valley News, Nashville.

OSSENHEIMER, JR. FROM MAPLE VALLEY SCHOOLS BOARD OF EDUCATION "For failure to follow Superintendent evaluation procedure cover letter. The cover letter stated: 1. This committee (Board School Policy and Athletic Committee) will compile the evalua­ tion results and meet with the Superintendent to discuss, ex­ plain and answer questions about the evaluation. 2. Members of the Board will see a composite evaluation prior to the time the Superintendent receives it. Here is what happened: a) A composite evaluation was hand delivered to the Superinten­ dent on a Sunday evening. No meeting was held to discuss, ex­ plain or answer questions about the evaluation by this com­ mittee as required by the procedure cover letter, b.) All Board members did not see a composite evaluation prior to the Superintendent receiving his on Sunday. In fact one Board member did not see his composite evaluation until the follow­ ing Wednesday evening after the Superintendent received his." DALE E.

"One of the two reasons given for this recall is that when the Board finished the first part of it's evaluation, one Board Member did not see the evaluation form until after the Superintendent got his copy. This is because the form was delivered in good faith to the Board Member's wife who pro­ mised to give it to her husband. The second reason claims that the Committee didn't meet with« the Superintendent. The Committee tried to meet with him, but on the day of the scheduled meeting the Superintendent told the Board he was starting a six week sick leave and could not meet. The Superintendent would not meet with the Commitee and they did not force him to. The Superintendent himself, by his contract, demands that the Board evaluate him twice a year. The Board performed the second 1986 evaluation following all requirements of State law, Board policy, and Superintendent's contract. There have been no violations here of law or policy.

Natural Resources Commission John Robertson jjxectj/ive Secretary Countersigned: Ronald 0.Sko Director �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 8, 1987 — Page 15 A shocker Maple Valley knocks off state power Fowler 12-8 Maple Valley wasted no time in springing the first ma­ jor upset of the football season. > The Lions, picked by some as middle-of-the-pack finishers in the SMAA, stunn­ ed Class D power Fowler last Friday 12-8 in the season opener for both teams. It was the Lions’ first ever win over the Eagles, who had won four and tied one in the five-year series. Fowler, which battered Maple Valley 30-6 in last year’s opener, was a perfect 9-0 last year, even­ tually losing in the state finals. While naturally elated with the upset, Maple Valley coach Guenther Middelstadet still wasn’t sure what it meant so early in the season. “I don’t know. If we have anything, it’s that we don’t have anybody great,” said Mittelstaedt. “We played as a team and that made us stronger. Our offensive and defensive lines played well.” Fowler jumped to an 8-0 first quarter lead on a 24-yard pass from all-state candidate Matt Hufnagel to Tony Ber­ tram at the five minute mark. The Lions climbed back in the game with 20 seconds left in the half on a 15-yard scor­ ing pass from Jeff Fisher to Dale Dickinson. The extra point failed as Fowler clung to an 8-6 halftime lead. On the first play of the fourth quarter Fisher scored on a quarterback sneak for a 12-8 lead. The one-yard plunge climaxed a 10-play, 74-yard drive. But Fowler wasn’t ready to climb in the team bus for the ride home quite yet. It took a Cody Mattson interception at the Lion 30 with a minute to go to snuff out the last Eagle hopes. Mittelstaedt said it’s far too early to judge either the always powerful Eagles or his own team. “It’s hardlo tell,” he said. “They (Fowler) played a good game. We just took ad­ vantage of breaks and our line took over at the end.” Statistically, Fowler was held to only 8 first downs and 151 total yards on 100 rushing PARTS & SERVICE tfLpp Hance W» service all breeds 543-8332 700 W.

Recall proponents are ac­ cusing Ossenheimer defenders of violating the Michigan Vehicle Code by using signs that closely resemble Michigan Highway Depart­ ment signs and do not contain disclamors. They say Ossenheimer was not acting under board policy or direction when he destroyed seven individual documents used to evaluate Superintendent Carroll Wolff last December. And he is said to have pressured Fuller Street Elementary School developmental kindergarten teacher Ann Byrne to resign. Ossenheimer’s opponents will not speak on the record to reporters, but some have been willing to speak at school board meetings and through letters to the editor of the Maple Valley News. Ossenheimer said a number of the “Vote No on Recall” Commissioner Fleetham gets state leadership award Edgar R. Fleetham, a member of the Eaton County Board of Commissioners, has been selected as the runner-up of the “Senior Citizen of the Year for Leadership..” The award is sponsored by the State of Michigan Office of Service to the Aging and the Michigan State Fair. Fleetham, who resides in Sunfield, received the award last month in the Coliseum Grove at the fair. He was nominated by the Sunfield United Methodist Church. The award included a fram­ ed certificate bearing the Governor’s signature and a beautiful standing table pla­ que, along with the Michigan sesquicentennial emblem on the other side, for service to the community signs located around the district have been stolen or vandalized, and he has complained of harassment to his family by a recall supporter. “All of this is unfor­ tunate,” said Ossenheimer. “I think it’s unfortunate we can’t have political activity occurring in the community without people acting in this manner.” But voters attending the polls will not see or hear of these controversies when they enter the voting booth Tuesday. They will be asked to decide whether Ossenheimer should be ousted for his part in the alleged violation of board procedure in the distribution of the evaluation summary to board members and the superintendent.

My concern is the Maple Valley kids.” Concern in the community, however, has been focused on other matters regarding Ossenheimer’s alleged actions. After the negative results of the evaluation were made public, local resident George Hubka requested, through the DISPUTE, continued on page 14 Possible forgery, fraud charges investigated against recall leader mation, leadership training and time management programs.

Another in­ dication that Maple Valley students may not be responsible was the discovery of another school’s name painted on the rear of the school, he said. “We have no proof, though. It could have been our kids that wrote it there,” Lenz noted. Lenz said minor vandalism occurs occasionally at the school but damage ofthis pro­ portion is rare.

Three classrooms had broken windows, as did the assistant principal's office and the counseling offices. “It’s really disappointing,” he said of the incident. “I guess in today’s society, those things happen.” Pennfield Assistant High School Principal Don Richards said it has been 15 years since his school has suf­ fered from such an attack. “I would say it’s a good possibility there is a tie in to what happened at Maple Valley,” he said. Principal Bob Lange of Olivet High School said he believes his building was vic­ timized Sunday night or early Monday morning. “We thought it over and in­ stead of replacing them, we will have an architect come and do an energy refurbish­ ment,” he said. “That’s something we have wanted tp take care of so we’ll just take this opportunity to do it.” At Bellevue, “We just had one set oftire tracks from one end of the lawn to the other,” said Principal Darwin Kuhl. “We assume it ties in with (the other incidents).” * The vandalism remains under investigation by the Eaton County Sheriff’s Department, the Pennfield Township Police Department, the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department and the Michigan State Police Lansing Post. No arrests have been made, police said yesterday. 'Community Reps' to begin outreach Hildred Kelsey Peabody of Vermontville and Jan Mittelstaedt of Nashville have been hired by the Maple Valley-Lakewood Community Education program to serve as community representatives in their respective areas. The primary responsibility ofa community representative is to increase community in­ volvement in the schools through community outreach. It is the responsibility of the representative to develp ways and means To accomplish this goal For instance community representatives may visit homes in the community, develop after school youth enrichment programs and classes, and/or serve as a link between the school and the community. Peabody, a life long resi- dent of Vermontville, graduated from Vermontville High School, attended Western Michigan University and was employed by Maple Valley Schools for 20 years. For 10 of those years, she worked in special education and counseling. Her three children graduated from Ver­ montville and Maple Valley Schools. Mittelstaedt, who has lived in Nashville since 1974, at­ tended WMU and Central Michigan University.She has been involved in education as a teacher in Grand Ledge for a year, as a substitute teacher the Maple Valley system and also as ajunior varsity softball coach for a season. Her fami­ ly includes husband Guenther and children Ginny, 10, and Joel, 8. The two women will soon begin home visits. The representative will spend a few minutes gathering infor­ mation from individuals regarding the kinds of pro­ grams they would like to see offered in their schools, as well as giving information about classes and programs that are already available. “Please take a few minutes to invite them into your home and feel free to ask questions and share ideas,” said a com­ munity school spokesperson. “If a community represen­ tative doesn’t have an answer, she can at learst point you in the right direction.” •' TAKE CLASSES FREE classes for adults without a diploma or graduates under 20. • Come meet new people. • Learn to read. call...

For example, the laws of God as set forth in the Bible were the prototype of the ones by which we live today, which guarantee among other things the right to choose our religion (or the absence of it, for that matter). Therefore, it is ironic that there is a continuing fear that any attempt to encourage prayer could lead to the imposition of a state-mandated religion. However, this can never happen as long as that historic piece of paper known as our Constitution stands in the way of any such action.

A grant was given to each of the vocational agricultural programs in the district to update, and supply each with the necessary equipment and/or supplies to make the programs effective in giving students the vocational training vital to a vocational production agriculture program. The only stipulation by the (EISD) Eaton Intermediate School District, was that each school district was to maintain the items purchased, which Maple Valley agreed. The action took nearly two years to complete. Without any action, the grant would have been lost. A series of bids from Williams Equip­ ment, Thornapple Valley and Maple p Valley yp Implement w were obtained along with one from Fueslein Equipment and from agriculture students. Many students also looked into used equipment, talked with their parents and reported their findings. Other agriculture instructors were consulted as well as the EISD. All of this purchase was done in order for the agriculture department to get the most for their grant dollar. Through a series of meetings and discussions with the Agriculture Advisory Committee, EISD, other vo.-ag. teachers, students, equipment dealers, parents and administration of all the alternatives, the overall con­ census was to purchase the farm implement and tractor portion of the grant from Maple Valley Implement for the following reasons: 1. Best storage offer ($0 for the first year). 2. Lowest bid for the machinery. 3. Bid included offer to pay for fuel (for the first year). 4. Offered to help with stu­ dent orientation to machinery. The remaining portions were used for smaller equip­ ment purchases to update the department. I sincerely hope my memory of the event has helped in your understanding of the steps involved and that the ag. program has continued to improve as a result of this vocational agriculture grant. Sincerely Yours, R. Szydzik (former MV Ag. teacher) Howell, Ml This money could cover half the athletic budget, or could pay for a part of a new classroom. It could be used to hire more teacher-aides and tutors, or for enriching field trips. It could be used for additional professional development for teachers. So why are we allowing this waste? Why can we not deter­ mine the use ofthe money that we work so hard to earn? Will recall hurt I am voting NO on the programs Maple Valley recall. Sincerely that they give all kids.

Nashville, Tuesday, September 15, 1987 — Page 7 Vote yes on recall election To the editor: I feel we should vote yes, on the upcoming recall elec­ tion of Dale Ossenheimer, Jr. and hope that others on the school board see this as a signal to resign. The reasons are as follows: 1. At the Dec. 29, 1986 school board meeting, Mr. Hawkins stated that it was not the intent of Maple Valley School Board Members to fire, retire, or buy out the con­ tract of Superintendent Car­ roll Wolff. At the Jan. 12, 1987, meeting, when the evaluation was read, I found out this wasn’t true. Judging from the comments at least three of the board members intended to replace Mr. Wolff. While 1 believe in the use of an honest evaluation, I don’t believe in being less than truthful. 2. The errors in handling of the evaulation forms, bidding process, administration and personnel are costing this school district money and good quality personnel. This district can no longer afford to go on like this. It is an embar­ rassment to the board and the community. 3. If these members of the board were so concerned about the quality and the cost of education to the district they would have resigned when presented with over 600 signatures, asking for their resignation. Now we must do it the hard way. Please vote yes on Sept. 22, 1978. Thank you. Sincerely, Larry J. Hook Nashville can Statements be verified To the editor: Recently the “On With The Job” Committee has been in­ situating the reason off the ballot to recall Dale Ossenheimer, Jr., may not be true. This is not the case.

Actions called $18,000 waste To the editor: I see that among the mon­ thly bills approved at the 9-10-87 Maple Valley Board meeting were charges for legal services for over $4,500 for the lawsuit against the board. In that case Mr. Ossenheimer has been called a “crucial witness” because he is the person who destroyed seven documents belonging to the board. If only one-third of that $4,500 charge is because of Dale Ossenheimer, Jr.’s ac­ tion, that equals $1500 per month that he is causing to be wasted and diverted away from the education of students at Maple Valley. In a year that would be $18,000 ($1500 times 12 months). That $18,000 could be better used to: hire another teacher, buy over 3,000 copies of student workbooks, hire four teacher aides to work with the students and help teachers, pay the Fuller Street Building electric bill for nearly three years, or pay the entire cost of health insurance for the custo­ dians for one year. If you elect to leave Mr. Dale Ossenheimer, Jr. in of­ fice for the balance of his term, you could be costing the Maple Valley district $18,000 in wasted educational funds. If you vote yes on the recall, you will be helping to put that $18,000 to a better use than defending Mr. Ossenheimer’s actions that were never approved by any vote of the Maple Valley Board.

The incident this time involves the resignation ofAnne Byrne, following a letter Mr. Ossenheimer wrote to the Fuller Elementary principal, questioning her qualifications. She was a veteran teacher at Maple Valley, with 10 years of teaching service. The letter, which he is claiming to have written as an individual, was prompted by the concerns or questions that he says were directed to him by “approximately three resignation parents,” who might have had children in her future classes. It is hard, if not impossible, to imagine that a person of Dale’s intelligence and wisdom, could not have given a more exact number when he was answering the question at the Sept. 10th board meeting. Maybe Dale will tell us, was it really 1, 2, or 3 parents? As a resident of the Maple Valley district, I would ex­ press my regrets, to both Ms. Byrne and the Maple Valley system for the loss that they both have suffered. Hopeful­ ly, most voters will join with me on Sept. 22 in casting a yes vote for the recall, so that Mr. Ossenheimer will have claim­ ed his last victim in the Maple Valley Schools.

An all sports card show sponsored by the Vermont­ ville Chamber of Commerce at the Carpenter’s Den ended with only three dealers and less than the expected flow of spectators. Chamber president Doug Durkee and co-organizer Don Mulvany attracted three card dealers to the show, which was held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “We’d like to see more ac­ tion in this town, we’re proud of it,” said Durkee. “This (the show) is an original idea.” Durkee said other city im­ provements or potential weekend events that the chamber would like to see are old-fashioned street lighting, a euchre tournament, a community-wide garage sale, a soapbox derby, and a fleamarket. He said several city improvements have all ready been made. “In the two years I’ve been here I’ve seen a turnaround,” he said. Mulvany, who admitted he isn’t a card collector himself, had hoped to attract 10 dealers to the show. One dealer from Saginaw which had ordered space didn’t show up leaving only three others. “We had hoped for an elbow to elbow crowd with people wheeling and deal­ ing,” said Mulvany. “If we had 100 people come through here we’d consider it a success.” THANK YOU I would like to thank the following people for helping me to start my business: My husband, David; my in-laws, Ken & Florence Kuempel; my parents, Max & Verla Eldred; my brother, Robert Eldred; my brother-in-law, Lewis Kuempel.

This was done with the assistance of a com­ mittee designated by the Maple Valley Board of Education. Once the equip­ ment needs were determined, she was to select what firm to purchase them from and for­ ward this information to Eaton Intermediate. The teacher and her class contacted four farm implement dealers in the area and solicited bids from them. From those, the best was MASON SHOES I will knock off $5.00 on every pair of shoes for Maple Valley basketball players thru September only.

To complete the pur­ chase and qualify for a factory discount, I furnished Maple Valley Implement with a form that was needed for the dis­ count. The purchase was then completed. The former teacher has since verified that there were four bids and documented the reasons for selecting Maple Valley Imple­ ment as the vendor. She and the Maple Valley schools followed the process which I had designed and I am convinced that there is no reason for anyone to doubt the honesty or sincerity of those involved in the process. If there is any criticism of the process then it should be directed to myself (or my Superintendent) rather than the Ag Advisory Committee, teacher, Maple Valley ad­ ministration, Board of Educa­ tion, or the implement dealers involved. As a matter ofpublic record and to avoid any further con­ fusion, I utilized a Ford Motor Company Executive Discount program this year and pur­ chases a lawn tractor for my personal use. This purchase was made at Maple Valley Im­ plement because they are the closest authorized Ford Trac­ tor dealer.

In passing of the resolution, the Michigan District of which the Nashville and Hastings Assemblies of God are a part, goes, goes on record in strong opposition to the establishment, funding, and continuation of any such school-based clinics/Teen Health Clinics and calls for the defeat of any legislation proposals on appropriations for the same, and calls upon all members of the State of Michigan Legislature, all members of the Michigan State Board of Education, and members of any and all school boards to oppose and reject any and all such proposals, legislation, and appropriations and to take all necessary and appropriate action to discon­ tinue and terminate any such school-based Clinics/Teen Health Clinics and to prevent their establishment in the future.

The individual seven board member evaluation forms were then retained by the Committee Chairman Loren Lehman. One board member at the Dec. 29, 1986 board meeting, publicly told the board he had questions about the math part of the composite and desired to meet with Mr. Lehman to go over the individual evalua­ tions. Mr. Lehman and the other two committee members agreed. So one would assume the seven evaluations were still in tact, as of Dec. 29, 1986. Mr. Ossenheimer did not mention, at the time about any destruction of the evaluation forms. Now by his own admission, Mr. Lehman says, he gave the seven evaluations to Mr. Dale Ossenheimer. (Because, Mr. Lehman, was concerned that someone might break into his home and obtain them) Mr. Lehman gave Mr. Ossenheimer no instructions to destroy the evaluation documents, nor did Mr. Hawkins, or any other member of the board. Remember the evaluation was compiled in late November and by late in December, Mr. Lehman still was concerned about the safety of the seven individual evaluation documents, enough to ask Mr. Ossenheimer secure them. So the questions begin: 1. Why then without con­ sulting with the other two committee members, or the school board as a whole, did Mr. Ossenheimer decide he had the authority to destroy these board documents. 2. If they were to be destroyed, why was Mr. Lehman holding them and concerned for them? why, as Chairman, didn’t Mr. Lehman destroy them? 3. If Mr. Ossenheimer knew false information had gone to the judge as he stated LETTER, continued on page 13 the relationship between parent and child by authoriz­ ing clinician-child confiden­ tiality in matters such as the child’s sexual behavior. The files and records of the clinics and of the school children are open to inspection by certain government officials but not by the parents of the child. Also the clinics provide the children with such services as prescriptions for contracep­ tives, treatment of venereal diseases, treatment of drug problems, referrals of children for psychiatric or psychological examination and treatment, referrals of children for abortion counsell­ ing. Such clinics advise children that they can make health treatment decisions without parental knowledge or consent.

With the new school year only two weeks old, there is much activity to report on. In 1988 residents will be able to see F.F.A. calendars throughout the community. With the financial help of 24 area businesses, the Maple Valley chapter will be able to supply 200 promotional calen­ dars throughout the district. “The area business people have been very supportive. Their generous support has been most important to the chapter’s regrowth over the past year,” said the spokesperson. This past Saturday, after the football game with Bellevue, the F.F.A. had a scheduled workday to begin at 9 a.m. A turnout of 18 members made to the F.F.A. building to mix, haul, and pour a cement floor.

Wolff has returned to a temporary sick leave at the advice of his doctordue to heart trouble, Dr. Thomas Myers indicated in a letter to the Board of Educa­ tion last week. Myers said Wolff will undergo a cardiac catheteriza­ tion and he has advised Wolff to “stay away from working conditions.” In other business, the board agreed to reject all seven bids received by contractors seek­ ing a roof repair job at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School and Fuller Street Elementary School and to return all bid security money. The move was the result of new information obtained through board attorney Mike Farrell from the Lansing firm of Thrun, Maatsch and Nordberg that an architecht must first inspect the roof project. Because the cost for an architecht was not included in the advertised specifications, the board voted to rebid the project after school authorities have clearly defined the legal requirements. District Cirriculum Coor­ dinator Vic Schug had first recommended the board table action regarding the accep­ tance of roofing bids until the October meeting, and sug­ gested the board’s buildings and grounds committee meet prior to that time. Roofing contractor Warren Arnold protested. “I don’t think any contrac­ tor would stand for doing work in bad weather,” he said. “I understand I had the low bid. I agreed I would start in 10 days and have the pro­ ject completed in 30 days. I think 30 days is ample time to come to a decision.” The board had advertised for bids two months ago. “Do you think you’re being fair to me?” Arnold said. “I don’t think you have the right to take businessmen and dangle this carrot in front of our noses for two to three months.” After checking with Farrell, Board President Dale Ossenheimer announced he had been advised that the board should not accept any of the bids “because they do not meet the law. We could be liable if the roof were to cave in without first having an architecht’s approval.” There was some discussion prior to voting as to whether an architect was needed for repair as well as construction. Arnold said much of his work is repair to nursing home roofs and architechts are not needed. Transportation and Custodial Supervisor Gerald Aldrich was instructed by the board to investigate further. In other action, the board voted to recind a motion made at the August meeting to ac­ cept a bread bid from Schafer Bakeries, Inc. Ossenheimer said the bid was inadvertantly opened dur­ ing the last school board meeting, and the dealine for accepting bids was six days after the Schafer approval. He said a second bid was then received Aug. 18 from In­ terstate Brands Corp. Butternut. “I think we should go with Schager due to prior commit­ ment,” Ossenheimer said. “Interstate was within the time limit,” argued secretary Bea Pino. “I don’t think they should be penalized for our mistake.” Butternut proved to be cheapen on all requested items. Because it was noted there was no contractual agreement with Schafer, the board voted to buy bread buns WfitylocatedwiDStfK jslaijrtl xxxiflul lining SATURDAY AFTERNOON SPECIAL With its long list of open for easy access Tl for maintenance. hardworking features, With this coupon the 7116H garden ■ Wide range of tractor is special options: tiller, plow, enough.

The POLLS OF ELECTION WILL OPEN AT 7:00 O'CLOCK, A.M., AND CLOSE AT 8:00 O'CLOCK, P.M. Shall Dale Ossenheimer Jr. be recalled from the office of school board member of Maple Valley Schools, Eaton and Barry Coun­ ties, Michigan? REASONS FOR RECALL OF DALE E. OSSENHEIMER, JR. FROM MAPLE VALLEY SCHOOLS BOARD OF EDUCATION "For failure to follow Superintendent evaluation procedure cover letter. The cover letter stated: 1. This committee (Board School Policy and Athletic Committee) will compile the evalua­ tion results and meet with the Superintendent to discuss, ex-’ plain and answer questions about the evaluation. 2. Members of the Board will see a composite evaluation prior to the time the Superintendent receives it. Here is what happened: a) A composite evaluation was hand delivered to the Superinten­ dent on a Sunday evening. No meeting was held to discuss, ex­ plain or answer questions about the evaluation by this com­ mittee as required by the procedure cover letter, b.) All Board members did not see a composite evaluation prior to the Superintendent receiving his on Sunday. In fact one Board member did not see his composite evaluation until the follow­ ing Wednesday evening after the Superintendent received his." DALE E. OSSENHEIMER, JR.’S JUSTIFICATION OF HIS CONDUCT IN OFFICE "One of the two reasons given for this recall is that when the Board finished the first part of it's evaluation, one Board Member did not see the evaluation form until after the Superintendent got his copy. This is because the form was delivered in good faith to the Board Member's wife who pro­ mised to give it to her husband. The second reason claims that the Committee didn't meet with the Superintendent. The Committee tried to meet with him, but on the day of the scheduled meeting the Superintendent told the Board he was starting a six week sick leave and could not meet. The Superintendent would not meet with the Commitee and they did not force him to. The Superintendent himself, by his contract, demands that the Board evaluate him twice a year. The Board performed the second 1986 evaluation following all requirements of State law, Board policy, and Superintendent's contract. There have been no violations here of law or policy. It's time to get on with the job of improving our schools. My concern is the Maple Valley kids."

September 22, 1987 Local voters to decide recall question today! by Shelly Sulser Voters in the Maple Valley School District head to the polls today to decide whether Dale Ossenheimer, Jr., presi­ dent of the Board of Educa­ tion, will remain a member. The Barry County Election Commission set Sept. 22 as the day the recall election would take place, after peti­ tions bearing 600 signatures of those wanting to oust Ossenheimer were presented by recall organizer Marilyn Roush. On the ballot, Roush claims Ossenheimer should be recall­ ed: “For failure to follow superintendent evalution pro­ cedure cover letter. The cover letter stated: 1. This commit­ tee (Board School Policy and Athletic Committee) will compile the evaluation results and meet with the superinten­ dent to discuss, explain and answer questions about the evaluation. 2. Members of the board will see a composite evaluation prior to the time the superintendent receives it. Here is what happened: a) A composite evaluation was hand delivered to the superintendent on a Sunday evening. No meeting was held to discuss, explain or answer questions about the evaluation by this committee as required by the procedure cover letter, b) all board members did not see a composite evaluation prior to the superintendent receiving his composite evaluation until the following Wednesday evening after the superintendent received his.” Ossenheimer submitted his justification for his conduct in office, which voters will also see on the ballot in the voting booth: “One of the two reasons given for this recall is that when the board finished the first part of its evaluation, one board member did not see the evaluation form until after the More 'Vote No' recall signs stolen , damaged by Shelly Sulser so subtle form of intimidation Nearly 175 signs urging I think,” said Dwyer. “When Maple Valley School District these types of things happen, citizens to “Vote No on people are reluctant to par­ Recall” were stolen or ticipate in the election pro­ damaged late Sunday night, cess. Every time, we lose two said Chairman of the On With or three that say, ‘to heck with the Job Committee Bob it’ and turn their backs on the system,” Dwyer; Dwyer said the signs, worth Dwyer’s group is backing nearly $400, were either Maple Valley School Board stolen or damaged by President Dale Ossenheimer unknown subjects sometime whose future as a board member will be decided in a Sunday night. “Any one (sign) that wasn’t special recall election today. Ossenheimer is accused by close to somebody’s front door was run over with either recall organizer Marilyn a truck dr a car,” Dwyer said. Roush of failing to follow school board guidelines refer­ Many signs targeted were ring to a December, 1986 the smaller cardboard type, evaluation of Carroll J. Wolff. James Pino said he helped while others included the to put up many of the “ Vote larger wooden kind. “It’s a subtle form, or not No on Recall” signs, and notes at least 80 percent are broken and bent or missing. “It’s been reported to the Michigan State Police and the Barry County Sheriff’s Department,” he said. “Many were run over with trucks so they’re flat on the ground. “That does illustrate the type of people supporting recall,” he said. “They’re not for democracy or lawfulness. It’s more like untruthfulness and thievery . None of their signs have been vandalized.” A new committee of recall supporters, the Maple Valley Recall Committee, also has a number of signs erected throughout the district encourging voters to say “yes” to the Ossenheimer recall. Recall proponent George Hubka, who placed many of the signs on properties in the Nashville area, said a few of their, signs were damaged. “I think it' was the rain that made them fall off the sign posts,” he said. “A couple could have been taken off by somebody though. As far as the other signs, I know nothing.” superintendent got his copy. This is because the form was delivered in good faith to the board member’s wife who promised to give it to her husband. “The second reason claims that the committee didn’t meet with the superintendent. The committee tried to meet with him, but on the day of the scheduled meeting, the superintendent told the board he was starting a six week sick leave and could not meet. The superintendent would not meet with the committee and they did not force him to. ‘‘The superintendent himself, by his contract, demands that the board evaluate him twice a year. The board performed the se­ cond 1986 evaluation follow­ ing all requirements of state law, board policy and superintendent’s contract. “There have been no viola­ tions here of law or policy. It’s time to get on with the job of improving our schools. My concern is the Maple Valley kids.” Ossenheimer was a member of the three-man committee that conducted the evaluation of Wolff by the board in December of 1986. Precint one, the Kellogg School gymnasium in Nashville, will be open for voting from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Election workers there are: Ada Yaudes, chairman; Dorothy Betts, Dorothy Williams, Janet Gardner and Loretta Pixley. Precint two, the kindergarten room of Maplewood Elementary School in Vermontville will also be open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. Election workers there are: Sharon Stewart, chair­ man; Janice Baker, Flossie Corey; Linda Ramey and Louise Shipman. Nearly 30 absentee ballots were applied for, noted a spokesperson from the superintendent’s office. Election results will be published in this Thursday’s Hastings Banner, a sister publication of the Maple Valley News. Hearing on alley abandonment set for Oct. 8 An Oct. 8 public hearing has been set .by the Nashville Village Council to hear public comment on the proposed abandonment of alleys near the Nashville Baptist Church. Baptist Church board member Forrest Gardner presented petitions to the council Sept. 10 requesting it to approve the abandonment to allow for further renovation of the property. The church is asking that ■the east one quarter of the east-west alley between Phillips and Middle Streets and the west one quarter ofthe east-west alley between Cleveland and Phillips be closed. The church plans to pave the lot across from the Phillips Street sanctuary, and has future plans for a fellowship hall, next to the existing building. Because the church owns the property on either side of ALLEY, continued page 5 The co-op elevator, shown in this file photo, was old to Roger Gardner at auc­ tion when the farmers' cooperative disbanded last year. Changing face of Nashville: many improvement projects underway by Shelly Sulser With a number of construc­ tion, demolition and paving projects underway in the village, the old familar face of Nashville seems to be changing. Rasey Construction is cur­ rently working to build a new police office and garage in Nashville, next to the village hall. The building is expected to give police agents privacy when interviewing subjects and to provide a place for the law enforcement vehicles to be stored. The village council; headed by President John Hughes, hopes to see the office and garage completed next month. The cost has been projected at over $30,000. A DPW garage, costing $25,000 was recently completed in Nashville behind the existing water treatment plant. The idea when building the new garage was to centralize the local public works opera­ tion, village officials said. Heavy equipment that was previously stored at a Cleveland Street structure is now housed in the new pole bam type building. With labor provided by the Michigan Youth Corp, hundreds of dollars was saved, said Hughes. The village also has com­ pleted the paving of Philadelphia Street in Nashville, along with a por­ tion of Bridge Street. Paving is what Nashville Baptist Church is doing to their new parking lot across from the Phillips Street sanc­ tuary. Houses that previously stood on the property were purchased by the church, demolished and hauled away, leaving room to alleviate the parking problem that previously existed there. There had been some discussion between church of­ ficials and village zoning trustees concerning the pro­ perty earlier this year. Neighbors complained the lot was causing a dust problem FACE, continued page 6 The Nashville Co-op Elevator that stood in the village for over 66 years is being torn down, becoming only a memory to local residents. �The Maple Valley Newt, Hashville.

I must admit his education at Maple Valley surpassed mine at a larger school. My cousin, who just received her teaching cer­ tificate, said she would choose a Maple Valley school to teach at over others in the area. So. I had a very positive attitude for my kids' up­ coming education when we moved this year. I do not know all the facts of what is really going on with the recall business, but I do know I am wondering if we made a wise decision in mov­ ing here. To me it sounds like someone's personal vendetta and a lot of nit-picking. Everyone has skeletons in their closets or makes mistakes they later regret but have to live with for the rest of their lives. Not to mention the tax dollars it is going to cost for an election Who really gives a rip? What ever hap­ pened to living by the Golden Rule? All 1 care about is get­ ting the kids through school with good grades, not what someone burned in their gar­ bage. Let's “get on with the job” and that is seeing to our kids. I do not want my tax dollars to go to pay someone’s getting even; I want them spent on the kids who do not vandalize the schools and who are there to get an honest education, who want to study instead of wat­ ching their parent’s example of making threatening phone calls and “we’ll show 'em” attitudes. I think everyone should step back and re-evaluate what is really going on and why they have taken sides. What is all of this really going to solve anyway? We’re all human and someone is always going to make mistakes now and in the future of Maple Valley Schools. Whose vendetta will it be next? Respectfully, Marcia K. Grant Vermontville Who stole the recall To the editor: I think who ever stole the “No” signs in Nashville Sun­ day night oi early Monday morning have rather a small brain and are giving the younger generation the wrong idea on how to play fair and be law abidding citizens. I know of several boys who wanted to tear the “Yes” signs down and was told by their parents “No,” they have a right to their opinions. But i Adults j You signs? do the rest of us? I’m sure that I know who took the sign in my yard as I was up and around the house at that time but thought he was a gentleman but I think dif­ ferently now. I guess he will stand watching. Why couldn’t they (recall leaders) wait and just let their term run out. Then vote in new people. Ola Osterman - You Can Do It! ; can earn your high school diploma now! To Find Out How Call... Maple Valley Community Education | [ 852-9275 Dear Editor: It disturbs me that the sup­ porters of the recalls are now blaming Dale Ossenheimer for the cost of the recalls and lawyers fees that resulted from their own actions. Action by the CONCERN­ ED CITIZENS FOR RESPONSIBLE BOARD ACTION, not Dale Ossenheimer, started the fuss that necessitated the calling in of the attorneys. Suits brought by George Hubka necessitated legal ac­ tion costing $11,000.00, and it is still growing. Dale Ossenheimer didn’t start the suits. Those opposing the recalls never said that the cost of Dale’s recall would be $20,000. Beatrtice Pino stated at one of the board meetings that the County Clerk estimated that the cost of each election would be $1,500. suits Since there would be four elections to recall four board members, and four to elect their successors, that would amount to $12,000. At the time ofthat statement, the cost of the lawsuits was about $8,000, totaling $20,000. Since that time legal fees have risen by $4,000, making a total now of $24,000. Dale Ossenheimer did not cause the teacher in question to resign. She told the Maple Valley News, and it was reported in the September 15 issue that her major reason for resigning was that her son was starting school. These accusations are typical ofthose made since the beginning of this ridiculous recall attempt. Study the issues and think­ think-think before you vote to­ day. I am voting NO. Sincerely, Charles Reid On purchase of implements To the editor: Further clarification is necessary concerning the pur­ chase of the implements. Derwain Watson, Rona Szydzik, and Russ Furlong, in their letters to the editor, imp­ ly that proper procedure and proper bidding took place in the purchase of the farm im­ plements by the Eaton In­ termediate School District and leased to the Maple Valley School District. No one will argue, I believe, that for a bidding pro­ cess to be correct identical re­ quest for bids must be sent to all bidders, listing specifica­ tions for the items to be pur­ chased. Without bids on similar equipment, how can prices and qualities be com­ pared? A bid request was sent only to the Maple Valley Im­ plement Company. The other bids were obtained verbally and with different specifica­ tions given than in the letter to Russ Furlong. In last week’s letters and writers carefully avoided saying that identical bids were sent. They only im­ ply that proper bidding pro­ cedures were followed. We have said that we are not accusing Russ Furlong (who did not conduct the bid­ ding) or any one else of not acting in what they thought was in the best interest of the district. We are only pointing out that this is another in­ stance of improper business procedure. Without proper procedure, citizens are not assured of getting the best deal, unsuccessful vendors are upset, the successful bidder is open to criticism and the school district is vulnerable to a law-suit (as in the case ofthe roof repair). Dale Ossenheimer is accus­ ed of not following policy (even though there was no policy involved). Infractions ofbidding policy and state law are much more serious. If Russ Furlong was not a member of the committee that decided to purchase the equip­ ment from his company, I don’t see why he told me he was when I was in his office. Sincerely, James Pino Vote yes on recall To the editor: After attending the Sept. 10 School Board meeting, we both feel the School Board is mixed up in their ideas and very disorganized. Legal matters and topics should be checked into and gone over before the meeting. Persons attending the meeting weren’t given the chance to express their ideas. Good teachers are hard to find, and we believe there was a big mistake in writing to Ann Byrne. (The writers are referring to a letter President Dale Ossenheimer wrote to Byrne). We are voting Yes today for the recall. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Willard Myers Thoughts on recall cost and let's get 'on with the job Dear editor: I have read with great in­ terest many articles and letters in our local paper recently. Many ofthe letters have the same two thoughts: Cost of the recall and “On with the job.” First — Cost ofthe recall. It could have been “0” dollars. Certain board members were presented with a petition sign­ ed by a good number ofMaple Valley voters asking for their resignations. By not doing so a few and not the many are costing the Maple Valley district a lot of dollars. Not only for the recall election but also in attorney fees ($120 per hour). Many of the legal fees were unnecessary as the at­ torneys should not have been at a regular School Board meeting. Secondly — “On with the job.” I’m all for it. But lets get some board members that will allow it to happen. Cer­ tain board members were told at a meeting in Charlotte at Eaton Intermediate schools and again at a Maple Valley board meeting in the high school library by Dr. Dave Donavan, member of the Michigan Dept, of Education, to not get involved in the daily running of the school. Let your administrators, teaching staff and support staff do their jobs. That’s what you hire them for. Certain board members have paid no heed, they are still getting too in­ volved instead of doing the job they were elected to do. All schools, including It's Maple Valley have a book of policies. They should be followed to the letter. Certain board members think the policy book is only a guideline. If anyone in the district has a problem, they should be retended tb the pro­ per channels. No board member should take it upon themself to act independently but should act according to policy. Some board members are not doing this. On with the job — I feel that many of the Maple Valley employees are in fear of their jobs: with three ofthe five adminstrators being replaced and a fourth given such a poor evaluation in hopes of his resignation; and with a tenured teacher resigning after her qualifications were ques­ tioned. Many Maple Valley employees are wondering who’s next. By constantly looking over their shoulders, how can our school employees get on with the job? Lets get some board members who will work with the employees for a better education for our children. I feel that some of our current board members are only there for the ego trip. At the execution of MarieAntoinette on Oct. 16, 1793 citizen Jacques Cerutti was quoted as saying “I was sit­ ting so close I could hear the whisper ofthe axe.” I wonder if after the vote tonight if any Maple Valley School Board member may feel that way? Sincerely, Wayne Cogswell a crime to steal To the editor: The vote “no” signs on recall in Maple Valley were stolen by some very small people, they invaded private property to distroy or take the signs. Where is the respect we signs should have for others and their thoughts in a democracy? They have com­ mitted a crime. Stop and think whom you want to support after this atrocious act.

Well over 100 adults have earned a Maple Valley diploma. Many adults are enrolling now and will graduate this June. This is, however, not the reason for this letter. With 20 years of experience in Community Education working with seven different school districts during that time, it has been interesting to discover the personalities of each school district. Each community has its strengths and weaknesses. One trait about Maple Valley that your community can be proud of I believe, is your ability to get your people to volunteer for school realted activities. The effort of the two P.T.O.s, Band Athletic Boosters is amazing. The amount of money raised in one year may be more than some school districts raise in several years. Quite obviously it is not just the volunteers, but community people who also support the efforts to raise money to help the children of Maple Valley. I have gotten to know some neat people both in and out­ side the schools. You, like the Lakewood school district, consolidated smaller areas to make a larger school district. Schools and communities are like people, not perfect but of value and importance, not perfect but with neat characteristics, not perfect but with hopes and dreams, not perfect but with positive traits and characteristics. One of Maple Valley’s characteristics I enjoy sharing in Lakewood and Ionia is how your community gets involved with helping lads through use of volunteers to raise money. You can be proud of the neat parts ofyour community. Sincerely, Daryl Hartzler, Director Maple Valley/Lakewood/Ionia Community Education Community should unite in positive actions To the editor: My wife and I have lived in this community for the past 10 years, we have been impress­ ed with the leadership and direction of the school board in the past few years. For the following reasons we recom­ mend a no vote on the recall. 1. The cost ofthe recall and frivolous freedom of informa­ tion lawsuit wastes the tax­ payers money and would be better spent on the education of our children. 2. Dale Ossenheimer has a record of being a person con­ cerned for the welfare of young people and students. He has been a boy scout leader for many years and a school board member since 1981. As a school board member he has deliquently worked to improve our educa­ tional system. 3. The stated reason for the recall is an alleged violation of an evaluation procedure cover letter”. The facts clearly show the intent and spirit of the policy was never violated. In contrast the ad­ ministration has violated state law in its past bid procedure. 4. If the recall is successful if will likely result in attempts to unseat other school board members. This will only continue to divert the school board and citizens time and effort away from our children’s education. In addi­ tion it will further divide our community. In conclusion we recom­ mend the community unite our time and energy in a construc­ tive manner to seek the best education for our children. We suggest if citizens want change in the school board that they be voted on at scheduled school board elec­ tions. “On with the job of educating our children.’’ Tomas & Bonnie Leep Nashville Thank you ad To the readers: I would like to personally thank everyone for their cards and support through my long illenss.

The 'Vote no" signs To The Editor: Finding our “VOTE NO on RECALL” sign cut off its posts and missing makes me wonder what kind of people are in favor of Dale Ossenheimer’s recall and why? The people involved with the “On With the Job Com­ mittee” have been donating time, materials, money and brain power to encourage-the citizens of our district to re­ tain Ossenheimer for the good of the schools. Those involved in the recall efforts are spending tax­ payers’ money meant to be spent for the good of the schools on a special election. (This is anyone’s right as an American.) It seems safe to say that a person(s) in support ofthe recall is also trespassing and stealing private property. Don’t they realize it is also our right to display a sign stating our position on the issue even though it isn’t to the detriment of our schools? It seems to me any “issue” in this campaign has been lost, disintegrating into a personal vendetta. Those of us against destroyed Put focus back on education Ossenheimer’s recall have been giving of ourselves in all kinds ofways, stating our sup­ port of Dale and the school district and signing our names. Those supporting the recall are either refusing to com­ ment, making unrelated, blanket statements as a total group and/or destroying per­ sonal property in the dark of the night. Since this all revolves around the school district, simply ask yourself which method ofhandling any situation you would like to en­ courage in our youth—or adults for that matter. Everyone is capable of mistakes. It appears that the mistake here is the time and money spent on the recall issue that could have been much better used toward the continued improvement ofour schools. Think of the kids and all of our future. Let’s get on with the job. Vote NO on the recall of Dale Ossenheimer. Thank-you, Cynthia Krolik 5407 W. Vermontville Hwy. Charlotte To the editor: After reading the names of the people that signed the recall petition I felt that I must ask these people if they knew what they have done, if they really knew what they were signing? At this stage of the game, there are countless rumors as to who did what to who and why. But really people...who cares and more importantly— who really knows? The fact is that we the peo­ ple really do have the authori­ ty and the power to recall elected officials. Now comes the hard part, do these people really deserve to be recalled? If Mr. Ossenheimer, Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Lehman, and Mrs. Pino are recall can­ didates for an alleged school policy violation, than what about Mr. Tobias’s letter of “apology” to Mr. Wolff. What about Mr. Wolff’s ad­ mittance to violating state law in bidding practices? My point is this: these ac­ cusations and “in fighting” will go on if this election is successful in ousting Ossenheimer. I feel the best thing is to let the board alone, let the Superintendent alone, and get the focus back on education, not annihilation! Nancy Byrd Nashville Reader wants "nonsense" to stop! To the editor: When is all this insanity go­ ing to stop? This community is in the throes of a recall epidemic-why? What I see is, that for whatever reason, my tax dollars are being thrown away on elections and legal fees that could be put to good use in the classroom not in the courtroom! If these “board people” have not done anything illegal or immoral and the superintendent hasn’t done anything illegal or immoralthan what are these recall leaders going to gain by trying to oust the trustees? FAME FORTUNE? THRILLS? I don’t know and probably nevef will. I just want this ridiculous nonsense to stop, that’s why I’m voting NO on Sept. 22. Alfred Decker Nashville What values would most of us choose? Dear Editor: What are we teaching the children? That vandalism by adults is acceptable? That theft is acceptable? That forgery and fraud are acceptable? Or should they be learning the values that are taught in scout troops like Dale Ossenheimer’s and others - to work together - to respect the ideas of others Correction— The first name of Mary Brooks was misspelled due to a typographical error in last week’s issue. Her name should have appeared as the signature of a letter to the editor last week instead of the name of Gary Brooks. Complete RECALL ELECTION - to protect the good name of others - to love the law - to speak the truth - to understand democracy and fair elections - to think for oneself ^to stand behind one’s words and actions - to see what responsibility means - to become men and women of honor I know what most of us would choose.

Nashville News reports from the 1940s reflect these changes at the plant which once had some 100 workers turning out fine reproduc­ tion pieces that now are valued collector’s items. The following articles from The News span a six-year period commencing in 1942. This 1952 photo of the Lentz plant shows a 1906 water supply tank still towering over the old factory, which had thrived for years in its location at the plant as the company sought war orders and later, post-war contracts. In 1943 the firm produced several orders for an airplane manufacturer. During the war, employment at the Lentz Table Company dropped to about 40 people.. board of directors of the new corporation. Lewis Lentz represents the Lentz Co. After articles of incorporation had been approved, the board of directors elected Charles R. Sligh, Jr., as president. Mr. Sligh announced that the new corporation will establish offices at 222 River Ave. in Holland. The new organization is expected to be much better able to obtain war orders than would any of the individual firms. Holland Industries, Inc., will have a Washington representative and will seek war orders of various types. The 18 member concerns represent a wide range of possibilities in specialy work and can in many cases divide up contracts according to which plants are'best able to handle certain phases of production. The Lentz company at pre­ sent is operating at about twothirds production, according to L. Lentz Chaffee, and has lost some skilled workers to out-of-town war industries. Should the plant go into war production, there could be no further “pirating” of labor, according to current rulings of the War Production Board. January 28, 1943 - Lew and Frank Lentz retiring from business - Lentz Table Company expected to begin extensive war work. An event of truly epochal importance will take place this week when Lewis E. Lentz and his nephew, Frank C. Lentz, retire from active management of the Lentz Table Co. For both of them it marks the end ofmore than 52 years of close association with Nashville’s oldest and most important industry. The original Lentz interest began in Nashville in 1866 when Jacob Lentz, a Civil A special African wood similar to mahogany was used in a new line of furniture debuted by the Lentz company at a manufacturers' exhibit in Chicago in 1948. The display included 60 different pieces of bedroom and dining room furniture. This photo shows the unloading of a shipment of lumber at the Lentz plant some 30 years earlier, when mostly oak and walnut were used. Seen in this 1916-17 picture are, from left, Frank Hecker (on wagon), Dell White, Sandy Walker, John Woodard and Bert Heckathorn. After an August 1891 fire destroyed the original Lentz Table factory near Main Street, this plant was built on the eastern edge of the village along what is now Lentz Street. On Thanksgiving Day of that year, wheels began turning in this new facility. In its heyday the firm employed some 100 workers turning out classic reproductions of 18th century furniture. The Maple Valley Arms apartment com- plex now occupies the site of the old factory. War veteran, came here and opened a furniture store and undertaking establishment. As his three sons became old enough he took them into the firm and it became known as Jacob Lentz and Sons; the sons being Albert, Charles and Lewis. Along in the 1870s after Nashville became an incor­ porated village, they began manufacturing beds, tables, mirrors and other furniture. On Aug. 2, 1891, the factory, which stood back of the pre­ sent Food Center, burned to the ground. (In 1987 terms, this was behind the Buxton Block which until just recently housed Grandma’s Greenery on Main Street at Washington. The first branch of Hastings’ Feldpausch Food Center was located in that building when this article was written in 1943.) By this time Jacob Lentz was a very old man (he died in 1915 at age 96) and the three sons incorporated the Lentz Table Co. On Thanksgiving Day, 1891, the wheels began turning in the present factory (located on Lentz Street where the present-day Maple Valley Arms apartment complex is situated.) With the retirement of Lew and Frank Lentz, Frank’s brother, Carl A. Lentz, and Lew’s grandson, L. Lentz Chaffee, will be left in active charge of the business. Mr. Chaffee said today that the company has some sizeable war sub-contracts lined up and that some adjustments within the business will be necessary. The firm has successfully pro­ duced several recent order for an airplane manufacturer and from all indications stands to land enough orders to keep a fair-sized force working steadily for the duration. August 3, 1944 - Lentz Table Co. streamling plant for post-war work Whatever post-war condi­ tions may be in the furniture business, the Lentz Table Company is going to be ready to take their chances against any competition in the coun­ try. For die last year they have been gradually modernizing the plant, adding new machinery as rapidly as the War Production Board ap­ proval can be secured. Newest piece of equipment, installed last week, is a complicated-looking double headed shaper. As rapidly as possible, all machinery is be­ ing motorized and the cutting room, for instance, looks a lot different than it did a year ago, now that the old shafts and overhead pulleys are gone. The general plan right along has been to streamline the plant for efficient quantity production and it looks as if things are about ready to real­ ly boom as soon as materials and labor are a little more plentiful. Right now the factory is tur­ ning out 15 different models of occasional tables, all on large contract orders. There is. considerable more business available than they can accept but they are expecting tougher competition after the war and figuring to be on a pro­ duction basis that will enable them to hold their own in the field. Even now, the company is giving steady employment to about 40 people and the week­ ly payroll is growing. John Klok, production manager, says wages are as high or higher than any other fur­ niture manufacturer in the country is paying and as high as the prevailing wage in Hastings war plants. December 30,1948 - Lentz Table Co. to show new line at market showing in Chicago to include 60 dif­ ferent pieces For the first time in the more than three-quarters of a century since the company was founded here, Lentz Table Company next month will have a showing at the American Furniture Market in Chicago. They have secured 1,200 square feet of floor space and plan to disply 60 different pieces of a new line of furniture that is truly outstanding. Pre-production planning of the new line started more than a year ago, but actual produc­ tion began only a few months ago. A limited showing of the new line was made in Grand Rapids recently and orders have been turned out for a few large concerns in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis. But the showing in Chicago next month really will be the formal debut for the complete line. Included are both dining room and bedroom fur­ niture.... Extensively used throughout the whole line is an African wood called afara, which is similar to mahogany, about the same in cost by superior in regard to certain operations of bleaching and finishing. Preparations for getting into production on the new line have been responsible for slowing things down at the Lentz plant. Since November and December are the poorest months in the year, with buyers all waiting for the new January showings, the management has taken advan­ tage of the situation to switch to the new line at this time; The result has been lowered employment in recent weeks. Carl H. Reynolds and L. Lentz Chaffee, who head the firm, both express confidence in a good year ahead, however. Originally known as Jacob Lentz & Sons, the firm began the manufacture of furniture here in 1866, when the sons Albert, Charles and Lewis were still boys. When the original factory burned in 1891, the sons incorporated as the Lentz Table Company, secured the present site at the eastern edge of town and put up a new building. Jacob Lentz died in 1915, and his three sons carried on and prospered. After the death of Charles and Albert, Lewis E. Lentz and his nephews Frank and Carl A. Lentz and his grandson, Mr. Chaffee, entered the firm. It was'the retirment of Lewis and Frank Lentz in January, 1943, that motivated the reorganization of the company. Mr. Reynolds was elected presi­ dent, Mr. Chaffee vice presi­ dent, and Carl A. Lentz secretary and treasurer. The latter has since retired. Join the ...

Main, Vermontvil e �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 22, 1987 — Page 14 M.V. stops Springfield 20-0 remain undefeated Defense and ball control of­ fense continue to dominate Maple Valley’s football team. The Lions ground out 316 yards on the ground in blank­ ing Springfield 20-0 for their third straight win. Jeff Fisher opened the scor­ ing with a four-yard TD run with seven minutes to go in the opening quarter. The score climaxed a 10-play, 56-yard drive. Mike Everett’s extra point made it 7-0. After recovering a fumble at the 46, the Lions made it 14-0 with 2:59 left in the first quarter when Jared Carrigan sped 24 yards for a touchdown. Mike Everett ad­ ded the conversion. Carrigan closed out the scoring at the 8:47 mark ofthe third period with a four-yard run. The Lion defense limited the Rams to four first downs and only 12 rushing yards. Ram quarterbacks hit 4-of-13 passes for 41 yards. Only once did Springfield drive deep into Lion territory. The Rams drove to he 20 in the second quarter, but lost the ball on downs. Maple Valley coach Guen­ ther Mittelstaedt said the dif­ ference in the game — as has been the case all year for the Lions was defense and rushing offense. “I think so,” said Mittelstaedt. “Defense and our offensive line.” Maple Valley had eight sacks and grabbed three tur­ novers. Dan Kellogg had three sacks while Greg Flower had seven tackles. Matt Forell had an interception and six tackles. Offensively, the Lions J.V. Football team defeats Central Montcalm 14-0 The Maple Valley junior varsity Lions scored early and hung on to defeat the Hornets last Thursday night in their first home game ofthe season. The Lions scored on the opening possession when Craig Henry went in from the one yard line. The two point extra point was good to make the score 8-0. On the Hornets next posses­ sion, Allen Staskus broke through and blocked a punt, Scott Castelle scooped up the loose ball and took it in for the Lions second score.* The extra point was missed to make the final score of 14-0. The entire defensive unit played an outstanding game, not allowing the Hornets in­ side the 30 yard line the entire night. The leading ball carrier for Maple Valley were Dan Franks 74 yard, 16 carries, Jason Hoefler 62 yards, 12 carries, Allen Staskus, 60 yards, 10 carries. The defense was led by Brandon Roscoe 18 tackles, Allen Staskus 12, Joel Wetzel 14 and Dan Franks and Shawn Carpenter 10 tackles.

Both teams played a slug­ gish third quarter. Bellevue managed to scare the Lions late in the third quarter when they came within two points of their visitors.

Organizer Henry Felder, Jr. said he was pleased with Saturday’s weather for the event but participants and spectators were thin. “I got better weather but I didn’t get better crowds,” he said Saturday. “We got about the same number as last year.” The event was the third to be held in Nashville under the direction of Felder. Nearly 27 marksmen took part in the novelty target shooting events, said Felder, while pioneer merchants were on hand to demonstrate their crafts. Jamie Wright of Gun Lake was one camper with items for sale including his own indoor wooden lantern design, oak cutting boards and cedar trunks. Wright is the owner of The Wood Shed, a shop on Gun Lake. And from Grand Rapids came Pappy Joe, one of a few who can make baskets by hand from scratch. “I start with a tree. I cut it down and start cutting on it with an axe. Then I pull the strips off, carve them and weave them into baskets,” he said. “I’ve been wanting to do it for 40 years but I just started two years ago.” Pappy finds better apprecia­ tion for his art at the rendez­ vous, he said, than he does at the fleamarkets. “They know what it is,” he said. “They know the value of it. But those at the fleamarket don’t know what they’ve got. Why, you could throw it in the lake and it won’t hurt it a bit.” Wright noted there is a special bond among 23 J* ’* w «» wat ®- MtBi|ii|| Hk ’<tate.S|i!J.tk bi> ls®Hras « '« MlraaMu ■» ta kng< tat i n nt oh W fata It rns Miitferatt Eii* fatejtetItteIf f i.?ui "Pappy Joe" of Grand Rapids demonstrated his talent for making wood baskets straight from the tree. muzzleshoot clan members, making them feel as if they are family. As a member of Michigan’s Turtle Clan, Wright has studied the type of pioneer he represents, which is the “curior dubois,” or wood runner, he said. “It’s been documented that the white man ran with the In­ dian long before Lewis and Clark,” he explained. “He wasn’t an outcast. And he wasn’t comfortable as a fit-in so he took the better of both lives.” Wright explained that as a school student, he hated history. “But since I’ve gotton into this, I love it,” he admits. Winners in Saturday’s gun match were: Nick Priddy, first; Marty Warner, second; James Clark, third apd Royce Demond, fourth. Taking prizes in Sunday’s gun match were: Marty Warner, first; James Clark, second; Denzel Mann, third and Pat Maloy.

VERMONTVILLE literally began shouting for a recall of the trustees at a school board meeting in January. The evaluation also gave Wolff a low numerical rating in summarizing his job performance. “Concerned Citizen’’ Marilyn Roush initiated the recall of Policy and Athletic Committee members Ossenheimer, David Hawkins and Loren Lehman. She later dropped the Hawkins and Lehman recalls and continued to seek the removal of Ossenheimer from the board, noting he remained unwilling to work in harmony with the superintendent, she said. Although the voting ballot stated Ossenheimer should be recalled for error in following the board’s guidelines concer­ ning how the superintendent would receive a copy of the composite evaluation, he felt other matters influenced the decision of voters. “I don’t think the election stands on the merit of the ballot,” he said. “It was not based on what was written on the ballot. I think the reasons were extended far beyond what original reasons were submitted.” Recall supporters stressed in advertisements that Ossenheimer had not acted under board direction when he admittedly burned the forms used by the individual board members to assess Wolff. He was also said to have pressured an elementary school teacher, as well as Wolff to resign, though neither Wolff nor the teacher specified that pressure was ap­ plied. Statements found in Wolff’s evaluation, however, read “I think it’s time you considered ,a gracious retire­ ment or our not-so-gracious dismissal” and “Carroll should be asked for his resignation by the board im­ mediately or given the option of retirement by 12/31/86.” “I don’t really feel I lost the election,” Ossenheimer said. “What I lost was a seat on the board and a $200 a year headache. I do_feel the com­ munity has lost because of what recall leaders taught our children during the process. Because of the degree of deceit, theft, fraud and harrassment that occurred — if they’re joyous in their vic­ tory, it has to be a bittersweet taste.” Roush would not comment on the outcome of the elec­ tion, except to say: “I’m glad it’s over with. The people did have a choice to make.” Ossenheimer noted prior to the election that he was told by several members of the community that if he was recalled, their houses would be for sale the next day. “I’m afraid if anybody does want to move that property values may have dropped because of that (dispute),” he said, “because people always ask ‘what’s the quality of the district?’ I think the reputation has certainly been hurt.” Whether he would remain in the district is a decision Ossenheimer has not made, he said. “I don’t even know if (moving) is a consideration. I really couldn’t say,” he said. He did note his appreciation to those who supported him in his campaign, and that he will continue to attend board meetings and remain involved in board matters. His seat is relinquished immediately, he said. Deputy Baity County Clerk Nancy Boersma said an elec­ tion very similar to the regular annual school election will need to be held to fill Ossenheimer’s post on the board. Nominating petitions will become available- for those wishing to run for trustee. Within 60 days of the deadline for filing petitions, the county election commis­ sioners will .set an election date, tentatively targeted for Nov. 9. Homecoming ‘87 celebrated Continued from front— Courtney. Becky Fox was also active in sports and was in the band for four years. She now works at Jackson National Life In­ surance in Lansing. Les and Virginia’s youngest son, Don, works at Nippondenso in Battle Creek, but still finds time to stay involved with sports at the Valley. Don officiates for the Little League football games and announces for the girl’s basketball games. If you wonder where the Fox kids get their energy and sense of devotion of the .school and community, just meet their parents. Les and Virginia Fox have, in their 25 years in the area, given up endless hours oftime to support Maple Valley. Virginia, was a trustee on the school board for four years. She was also very in­ strumental in organizing the Bingo program. Although she no longer works a shift on Thursday nights, you can be sure to see some of her delicious food for sale in the kitchen. Virginia also gives support to the school through her generosity at her front door. No matter if you are selling Little League candy bars or band soap, she is always willing to help out the various organizations. One of the most loyal fans at Maple Valley, Les Fox, can be seen at almost every kind of sporting event. The athletes really ap­ preciate his encouraging words during the game, whether it be at the football games or the girls basketball games. Les can occasionally be heard offering constructive criticism to the officials, too! Les and Virginia feel that the best thing about Maple Valley is the students. “We love young people.” They also praise the teachers at Maple Valley. “We feel that we have a good bunch of teachers - quality teachers. They put a lot of their own time in that people don’t realize.” Well, some people don’t realize what all the Foxes have done for their communi­ ty either. Even though they live in Vermontville, they don’t feel the distinction bet­ ween Nashville and Vermont­ ville. They feel like it’s one big community. They attend St. Cyril’s Catholic Church in Nashville and have many friends in both towns. “We’re proud to be members of the community and a part of this school.” You can help applaud Les and Virginia’s dedication at the Homecoming Parade and game against Pennfield, Fri­ day, Oct. 9. But ifyou happen to see them Oct. 1, wish them a happy 32nd wedding anniversary. Farmer Boys Market BULK FOODS * SALVAGE and SURPLUS GROCERIES 31/2 miles west of M-50 on W.

But I was also ap­ palled at the reactions to this by some of Dale Ossenheimer’s supporters, as evidenced by their remarks in the paper. James Pino commented that these actions illustrated “the type of people supporting recall.” A Vote “No” ad suggested that criminal acts and the recall attempt were one and the same, and elsewhere in the paper similar implications were made. It was as if a “yes” vote on recall was also a “yes” vote for approving lawlessness. Seven hundred and sixtyfour people voted to recall Dale Ossenheimer. There are those who would have us believe that these 764 belong to some lower class who sup­ port crime and harrassment. Most of these people probably have no more idea who the of­ fenders were than does anyone else, and most ofthese people, I’m sure, would never condone such actions. Because ofthe destructive acts of perhaps only one or a few individuals, anyone who favored recall was automatically labeled as one who does not stand for law and decency. To me, such comments and implications are as damaging to the democratic process and a society where freedom of opinion is valued as is stealing signs. I’m sure the majority of voters on both sides of the issue are intelligent, clear­ thinking people who truly care about quality education in Maple Valley, but who differ on how to best achieve this. It is sad to realize that there are apparently people on both sides of the issue who find it difficult to tolerate someone whose opinion differs from their own. sincerely, Judith Brewer Nashville tiljjl.^1 ail $1* New clinic starts for older adults of area The Barry-Eaton District Health Department will be starting a new clinic for older adults.

Mr. Hubka, let’s give Mr. Lehman, Mr. Hawkins, and The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 29, 1987 — Page 3 Mrs. Pino a second chance. After all, they have done a good job on most issues brought before the school board. We must also keep in mind that almost half of the voters support them, and their views, and they are almost half the school board. This only seems fair to me. I only publicize my view because I am concerned about the cost in money and the cost in. community cooperation. Without community coopera­ tion there will be no extracur­ ricular activity. For as everyone knows, it is the com­ munity that holds these pro­ grams together. Now I ask Mr. Furlong. Mrs. Roush, the Concerned Citizens Committee, and Mrs. Hubka to give these people a chance and withdraw all ex­ isting recalls and lawsuits and let Maple Valley “Get On With The Job” (that is, without Mr. Ossenheimer). I hope all school board members present and future will keep in mind, in the end, it is the voters of the school district that run the district!

September 29. 1987 — Page 4 Controversy nothing new to area Controversy is not new to Nashville, and the school system has often been the bone of contention. In contemporary times there was the great debate of the early 1960s over whether Nashville and Vermontville should consolidate to form the Maple Valley School District. Some ofour older readers will recall a similar controversy back in the 1930s when rural school districts, one by one. began opting to join the village educational system, thus closing down the old oneroom country schools that had nurtured farm youngsters through 8th grade. Schoo) controversies date back even to Nashville’s earliest years. In 1883 the election of the first woman ever to sit on the village school board became a divisive local issue, creating debate about a woman’s “proper place.” This was soon followed by the unrelated but equally sen­ sational dismissal of an intox­ icated school principal by a somewhat disorganized school board. Yes, 1883 was a year of almost continual controversy in Nashville, but not all of the issues were school related. The topics ranged from a mini tax revolt by farmers on the north edge of town to the ar­ rest ofthe village marshal in a retalitory move by a man whom the lawman had earlier arrested for speeding (horse and buggy) on Main Street. Local citizens joined in that fray, and throughout the year Nashville tongues were wagging on a variety of other lively and diverse debates. Following are a few excerpts of Nashville News stories detailing some of the more contentious matters of 1883- Several contain editorial comment by editor- publisher Omo Strong. January, 1883 - A number of Nashville residents have reckoned they have a loophole into which they can crawl to avoid paying taxes, No. 179 of session laws of 1873, under which the village was re­ incorporated, having been declared unconstitutional by the supreme court in the case of Shumway vs. the village of Fairfield in Lenawee County. The question has been the all­ absorbing topic of conversa­ tion on our streets this week, caused, probably, by the action of the marshal on Monday and Tuesday in levying open the property of five of the nullifiers. (In simplest terms, the “nullifiers” had attempted to “secede” from the vijlage by having their lands placed out­ side the limits of the corporation established in 1869.) From Hiram Coe the marshal secured one 3-year-old colt and a white cow; from Jacob Purkey one double buggy, one single buggy and a lumber wagon. The first two descriptions are to be sold in front of the Nashville House (hotel) on the 23rd. This action on the part of the marshal caused four who had been loud in their denun­ ciations of the “miserable lit- Nashville was denounced as a "miserable little town" by a group of tax protestors whose properties were situated north of the Thornapple River, seen here near flood stage in a circa-1898 photo from atop the old Standpipe water tower. An 1883 levy against personal property of a few of the protestors prompted others to quickly pay up their overdue taxes. It was just one more issue that caused heated local debates that year. "Troubles have absorbed the public mind in Nashville to the exclusion of everything else," noted News editor Strong during a November school dispute. Other con­ troversial issues that year included plans for a second rail line and local lawlessness. tle town” to come forward promptly and pay their taxes. The marshal informs us that these parties object only to the corporation part of their taxes and are willing to pay the balance. But the marshal is authorized to collect all or none and there will be no shilly-shallying. Grand Trunk train in Nashville ere the year ’83 closes. (Editor Strong’s im­ passioned plea notwithstan­ ding, this never came to pass.) June, 1883 - There has been considerable excitement in this village for the last week or ten days. The trouble first started from the fast driving cases mentioned last week, in which Jacob Osmun, William O. Freeman, James L. Gregory and Charles Fumiss were arrested. When those cases came up for trial this week it was found they had been adjourned out of court and had to be discontinued. The next thing Jacob Osmun was arrested for being drunk and disorderly ofwhich offense he was found guilty by a jury in Justice Killen’s court, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $10 and costs of suit amounting to $23 and in default of payment to 20 days in jail. Osmun has taken the case to the circuit court on a writ of cerriorari, and had the marshal arrested on a civil warrant for false imprisonment. When the marshal arrested Osmun, several parties in­ terfered to such an extent that it took him at least 15 minutes to get his prisoner to the lock­ up, and at one time it looked as though a free flight was in­ evitable. It seems to us that no matter what the difference of opinion on minor matters, all should unite to see the. law en­ forced, and not become ex­ cited and let their passions run away with their good judge­ ment because they are not allowed to use the streets for a race track. February, 1883 Nashville’s opportunity to bet­ ter herself grows brighter every day. Let her people become unanimously aroused and enthusiastic to this oppor­ tunity, and we shall have another railroad as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. (In addition to the exisiting east­ west Michigan Central line, a north-south railroad from Bat­ tle Creek to Ionia via Assyria, Nashville and Woodland had been proposed.) But to ac­ complish this it is necessary to enthuse. Do not let such a selfish argument as the one we have heard, that such a project would build up a town at Woodland that would cut or trade “terrifically,” be heard again, for such an argument is a narrow, selfish one. Com­ mon sense should teach us to be liberal; to perceive that what benefits Woodland must necessarily benefit Nashville; that connected by a railroad our relations would be more mutual, friendly and pro­ sperous; to look to the extra business that must naturally come to us, with another railroad.. .and greater than all, the probabilities of our being able to secure manufacturing establishments in our midst. These facts are clear to the in­ telligent mind, and men and brethem, let us be enthused and earnest; let us pull together as one man, that vic­ September, 1883 The tory may crown our efforts election of Mrs. C.N. Downs and we hear the whistle ofthe to the Nashville school board In 1883 it was an "unusual thing" for women to at­ tend school board meetings and still more unusual for one of their number to be chosen as a school trustee, but it happened for the first time in Nashville that year, adding to a growing list of controversies that divided the village. Nashville News editor Orno Strong took a firm stand in support of women's rights, saying that a female was entitled to the post as much as "the best man that walks God's green earth." This unidentified photo of that era shows a probably local couple photographed by Edwin H. Van Nocker, who operated a pro­ fessional studio in Nashville in the late 19th century. may be treated as the district’s willingness to recognize the rights of women to conduct the education to our children. Although it may be considered an unusual thing for women to attend a school meeting and still more unusual for one of their number to be chosen for the important postion of school trustee,, yet we hold that she has as much right to either as the best man that walks God’s green earth...We understand that it has been in­ timated that Orno Strong made a “damphool” of himself because he arose to speak upon the respect and courtesy due women at the school board meeting, We look upon woman as the one great blessing on this earth, and if the accusation be true, are willing to make a “damphool” ofourselves every day of our life. November, 1883 The latest sensation developed last Thursday, and is to the effect that George Conley, principal of our schools, ran his school all day under a high state of intoxication. After close of school a charge was made against him to the school board, which held a meeting in the evening when it was decided that the festive pro­ fessor should be temporarily suspended and the whole mat­ ter referred to the county board of school examiners. The man who indulges in strong drink lays himself liable to be brought up stan­ ding at any moment..... (Two weeks later)...For the past two weeks troubles have ab­ sorbed the public mind in Nashville to the exculusion of everything else. The County Board of Examiners to whom was referred the actions of George Conley, principal of the school, wrestled with the problem half a day, and then sent it back to the local board to dispose of, and an in­ teresting time has the latter body had to do so. It had not only this matter vigorously, but to contend with internal dissentions. E.A. Bush, director, resign­ ed and the board chose George A. Truman to fill the vacancy. Then it was discovered that according to the new school law, the board was one man too strong. Three resignations were tendered but none accepted. Finally, Myron B. Brooks asked to be dropped out, which was done, and the board again grappled with the schoolmaster problem. At a meeting of the board on the 20th, George Conley was dismissed as principal of the school by a clear-vote. On the following morning Mr. Conley served notice on Director Truman to the effect that he held himself in readiness to fulfill his contract as teacher, and should hold Memories of the past continued next page- �The Maple Valley News.

I think possibly everybody that ap­ plies will get on?” She said at its Oct. 8 meeting the board will appoint a member of the committee to serve as chairperson. Pino was not sure how soon recommenations would be made to the board, but thought a for­ mat of a report submitted to the board after the first three months and a final one after another three months might be instituted. “It would be like what we did with the (Citizen’s Ad­ visory Committee),” she said. Course of study by the com­ mittee would include gather­ ing information concerning the space shortage at Kellogg and Fuller Elementary Schools in Nashville, Maplewood Elementary School in Vermontville and the junior-senior high and from Custodial and Transpor­ tation Supervisor Gerald Aldrich and from building ad­ ministrators Joy Frith, Dave Doozan, Larry Lenz and Ed Sampson. “They’d talk to anybody who knows the condition of the buildings — anybody who knows the space needs.” Problems in the district range from a lack of space for special needs classes to the lack^of a separate junior high school building, Pino said in an interview last month. by Shelly Sulser The overflow of Maple Valley’s elementary classrooms is spilling into the hallways and creating a flood of problems for the Board of Education. “There is just no room,” said board secretary Beatrice Pino Thursday. “We’re teaching in the corridors and it’s illegal to do that. Your’re not supposed to have desks and chairs in corridors.” The board is trying to resolve the dilema by seeking recomendations from a com­ mittee of citizens who will first study the school facilities and possible solutions. The deadline to register for a seat on the Facilities and Equipment Committee is Oct. 2, Pino said. “We have 14 so far signed up,” said Pino. “Some have Memories of the past continued from page 4 the board responsible for his year's salary. The board con­ sulted legal authority, and ac­ ting upon the advice given, began the work of gathering information in the shape of affida v i ts regarding the schoolmaster’s immorality, and prosecuted this work until half a dozen were in the hands of the board, when Mr. Con­ ley very judiciously sent in his resignation, which was ac­ cepted, and thus end the matter. XK XK XK “In the elementaries,” Pino said, “tutoring and special classes are being conducted in the corridors...” At Fuller Street Elementary School, a math teacher and a counselor share the storage room where their two desks are among shelves of class supplies and a table surround­ ed by chairs. Counselor Chris Green voiced her concern about the room to the board last October noting the room would be un­ safe in the event of a fire. “Ifthe fire marshall were to come to the school he would faint. That’s how bad it is,” Pino said Thursday. A special reading teacher meets with students behind a partition in the entryway at Fuller as well, said Principal Joy Frith. Frith noted that when students undergo individual testing, she must evacuate her office. “At Maplewood,” said Pino, “if a child is sick she lies down in the principal’s office.” At Kellogg, the aging building is continually in need of costly repairs, Pino said. Kellogg originally served as the district’s high school and one ofthe special committee’s goals could be to finally retire the building and replace it with a new one, possibly a middle school. Fuller School also conducts classes in two portable classrooms purchased by the district nearly 15 years ago when the units had a 10 year life expectancy. Maplewood maintains about six portables. Frith said the squeeze at Fuller was brought on by a high influx of kindergarten age students to. the school this year. Currently, there are five sections of kindergarten alone at Fuller, she said. w’p *XK XK <K X ... $2.50 XK aLfiW' LilF PERSONALIZED HAIR CARE FOR YOU w Professional hairstyling with your kind of life­ style in mind!

The Nashville Village Council agreed at its meeting Thursday to set a public hear­ ing on the matter for Oct. 8. “Ammon Plastics got one (tax break) when they came in there,” noted Village Presi­ dent John Hughes. “This would reduce the tax on the property and equipment by half.” Hughes said Hoag plans to grind and grade glass in the building which he plans to lease.

Girl Scout troops organize locally Last Tuesday evening, girls in the Nashville area gathered to start the 1987-88 year of Girl Scouting. After an excellent flag ceremony performed by the Juniors in Merri Ossenheimer and Diane Null’s troop and a short program about scouting, girls divided into their troops and had a meeting with their leader. Established troops are led by - Kathy Mace first grade Brownies; Laurie Pettengil, second grade Brownies; Junior leaders include Sue Fawley, Rae Murphy - Sheila M c D i a r m i d , Merri Ossenheimer Diane Null, Lynn Mengyan and Donna Garvey - Ann Taylor. There is enough interest for two Daisy troops to get started. On Friday, Oct. 2 there will be a meeting for anyone interested in Daisy training for adults. The meeting will be at 1 p.m. at Taylors. Hopefully, after that meeting the Kindergarten girls that signed up for the Daisy program will be placed in a troop. Girls not previously in scouting who are in the fourth - sixth have all been placed in existing Junior troops. Girls in first, second and third grades who have not been placed in an existing troop will form a new troop. Their meetings will be the first Thursday of each month at the United Methodist Church from after school until 3:45. The dues will be $2 for Oct. - Jan. with a $4 registra­ tion fee. The first meeting is Oct. 1. If you have any questions about scouting please call your daughter’s leader or Ann Taylor, 852-0784. All Girls Scouts who have their registration fees paid are invited to march or ride on the Girl Scout float for the Homecoming Parade, Friday, Oct. 9. The scouts should be at Putnam Park at 5:45 p.m. Parents are to pick daughters up at the main en­ trance of Fuller School im­ mediately after the parade.

A Nashville man is combin­ ing his love for gospel music with his compassion for vic­ tims of Cerebral Palsy in an effort to raise funds through a benefit concert Saturday. The man knows how it feels to suffer from the disorder. He is Kent Mead, 111 S. Main St., who has been stricken with Cerebral Palsy since birth. With help from the Rev. Steve Reid of Hastings, Mead has arranged for five gospel music artists to perform al the Nashville Assembly of God church at 735 Reed St. in Nashville starting at 7 p.m. Saturday. “I made an announcement X- /a Y Ray and Millie Overholt of Battle Creek will donate their time and effort to help raise funds for Cerebral Palsy at a concert Saturday.

You can do the at the Shady Green Pastures Campground annual gospel sing that if anybody was in­ terested to let me know,” said Mead. “That evening, three (gospel groups) had let me know at the end.” He said he wants to help provide funds for Cerebral Palsy Sports, an event similar to Special Olympics. Mead is a member of the Cerebral Palsy Sports Team. “He’s one of the fortunate ones that can walk,” said Reid. “Most people with Cerebral Palsy are in wheelchairs.” Reid said Mead is a member of the Peace United Methodist Church. “Kent has a love for gospel music so this was a natural avenue for him to help Cerebral Palsy,” Reid said. Featured artists for the special concert will be Ray and Millie Overholt of Battle Creek, Mead’s favorite gospel group. Ray Overholt is known all over the world for writing the songs, “Ten Thousand Angels’’ and “Hallelujah Square”. “Ray has a real open heart for people with handicaps,” said Reid, who noted Overholt has one artificial eye.

Marilyn Roush the classes, and they start on Monday, October 12 in Hastings. “I Can Cope” is a series of classes that cover the follow­ ing topics: learning about your disease, learning to like yourself (including changes in body image and/or roles), nutrition, medications, keep­ ing physically fit, com­ munication skills and a panel on community resources. The classes will be taught by a physician, nurses, a physical therapist, a phar­ macist, a chaplain, an at­ torney, and others represen­ ting community groups. Classes will be held for five consecutive Monday evenings (beginning Oct. 12) from 7-9 p.m. in the conference room of the Physician’s Center at Pennock Hospital, Hastings.

EWING. OWNER 726-0088 10076 NASHVILLE HWY.. VERMONTVILLE Michigan License No. 1612 State Legislature re-convenes with heavy-duty agenda Michigan legislators returned to Lansing last week to begin the fall legislative season. Facing us are several important and unresolved issues, one of which is an un­ finished budget. We recessed in late July thinking we had essentially finished work, in accordance with Governor Blanchard’s recommendations, on the 1987-88 budget. To everyone’s surprise, the COMMISSION ORDER , (Under authority of Act 230, P.A. 1925, as amended) ORDER TO RESTRICT SPEARING SEASON Under authority of Act 230, Public Acts of 1925, as amended, being sections 300.1 through 300.5 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, the Natural Resources Commission, at its September 11, 1987, meeting, ordered that for a period of five years in the Lower Peninsula it shall be unlawful to take or attempt to take any species of fish with a spear or bow and arrow, from any waters north of Highway M-72 during the month of April, or south of Highway M-72 and north of Highway M-46 from April 1 through April 15, all dates inclusive. This order supersedes the previous order entitled “Order to Restrict Spearing Season” effective April 1,1983, and given number CFI-131.82. This order shall take effect November 1,1987, and shall remain effective through March 31, 1992. Governor vetoes several items, citing the “belated” discovery of a revenue short­ fall of between $205 and $210 million dollars. Trying to plug this massive budget hole means, in effect, re-working the entire budget this fall. Between the unexpected budget cuts, sagging lottery receipts and impending GM layoffs, some state economists and Legislative fiscal analysts are warning of an economic downturn for Michigan. Many Democrats are using these predictions as an excuse for the state to keep the, $170 million tax rollback the House passed last spring. However, House Republicans feel the windfall issue should be dealt with first. We must get our revenue in line, and then spending should meet our revenue pro­ jections, not the other way around. We stand ready to honor the pledge we made to return the windfall money to its rightful owners, the Michigan taxpayers, but a definite battle to do so looms. Also at issue is the question of how many millions of dollars in lost revenue we are really facing due to a court Continued column 5 HOW MUCH LONGER Marlene J. Fluharty, Chairman Natural Resources Commission continuedfrom column 4 ruling that out-of-state in­ surance firms do not have to pay a premium tax. While the Governor’s office estimates the figure to be approximately $170 million, the Michigan Insurance Federation says the loss will be only between $17 million and $34 million. Until the accurate figure is verified, it is unfair for the Democrats to cite the financial loss of an inflated, highly questionable figure as a lever to justify keeping the taxpayer’s wind­ fall money. Other issues must also be addressed. One of these will be the passage of a package of transportation bills that will likely increase several transportation-related fees. A special House-Senate commit­ tee has reached agreement, but accord in the full House and Senate is another matter. Another debate is likely to ensue over Republican at­ tempts to pass meaningful products liability legislation. Product liability costs have skyrocketed in the last several years, and have had an adverse effect on the Michigan business economy; they are literally driving firms from Michigan. Businesses must be held accountable for their products, but unwar­ ranted, unreasonable and frivolous lawsuits must also be prevented, which is the ob­ ject of the Republican legisla­ tion. We intend our bills to continue to provide protection for consumers, and at the same time set realistic litiga­ tion standards that will en­ courage, instead of discourage, new businesses from locating in Michigan. Still other probable fall issues include new attempts to raise the rural freeway speed limit from 55 to 65 mph; reform of the state’s school finance system; consideration of Wayne County’s growing financial problems, the AIDS health threat and passage of tougher criminal justice measures.

Just when it looked like a Valley victory was secure, a dramatic finish by senior guard Sheri Forell was needed to seal the Lion victory 46-45 over Middleville. The visiting Trojans came out strong and raced to a 17-8 first quarter lead. A tough full court-press by Valley got the ball into the hands of Forell who scored 14 of the Lions’ 17 second quarter points and gave MV a 25-23 half-time advantage.

Pease Rd., Vermontvill e IU �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 29, 1987 — Page 13 Fall planting is good time for landscape plants By Allen P. Krizek, County Extension Director “Fall, the ‘second spring’ of the year, is one of the best times to do landscape plan­ ting,” says Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director. “In the fall, .temperatures are cooler, there is more moisture, and there is less competition from weeds than in other growing periods. When landscaping a home, start with the placement of trees. Trees are the basis of a good design and have more in­ fluence on the area being landscpaed than any other plant,. Place stakes where you think you want trees so you can get an idea of how they’ll look. Deciduous trees provide shade during the summer and some wind protection. They help muffle street noise, frame the house and allow sunlight to reach the house in the winter. Shade trees that do well in Michigan include ashes, locusts and maples. Evergreens provide a con­ tinuous green accent to the area and are one of the most efficient windbreak plantings. Their various shapes can add depth and line to the home. Trees for a windbreak should be planted on the prevailing wind side of the house, on an imaginary diagonal line from the comer of the house. The distance from the home depends on the tree’s mature size. Before planting make sure that the tree will not send roots to interfere with sewer lines, or branches into over head utility wires. To reduce maintenance in hard-to-manage spots like steep slopes, consider planting ground covers such as carpet bugle, myrtle, creeping juniper or Baltic English ivy. These low maintenance plants don’t need mowing and help control soil erosion. Farmers urged to use augers safely during harvest by Allen P. Krizek, County Extension Director As soon as field conditions permit, soybean and corn harvest will begin and farmers will be spending long days loading grain into storage facilities. This makes it especially important to be aware of how to avoid com­ mon accidents when using a portable auger. “On-farm elevating equip­ ment, including the portable auger, has the highest accident frequency rate of all farm Jobs Wanted machines,” says Howard CLEANING one time or week­ Doss, Michigan State Univer­ ly.

Village Street Ad­ ministrator Tony Wawiernia conceded, noting it would be better to repair all three driveways at the same time while the equipment is being rented than to wait and rent again. In other action, Villanueva signed a proclamation declar­ ing Oct. 4-10 Fire Prevention Week in Vermontville. In the proclamation, she pointed out that “fire con­ tinues to be a major threat to all citizens, young and old” and that “the majority of peo­ ple killed in fires each year in the United States die in their own homes.” Villanueva said present day technology such as residential smoke detectors and sprinklers, and the availability of fire prevention and protec- tion information can minimize the chance of loss of life and property because of fire. The Vermontville Fire Department and the fire ser­ vice of this state are dedicated to the safety of life and pro­ perty from the devasting ef­ fects of fire and recognize the value of proper planning and preparedness before fire strikes, she said.

Since Nashville fireman Chip Smith found the body of four-year-old Andrew Ander­ son. in the upstairs of his family’s fire gutted house on Middle Street last January, he has eagerly worked to prevent such a tragedy from happen­ ing again. If his new fire prevention program saves one life, “it will be worth it,” he said. Smith, along with Castleton-Maple GroveNashville Fire Chief Doug Yarger and fireman Craig Hoffman have devised a fire, bum and automobile safety presentation to show to Nashville’s kindergarten through fourth grade students this week during the Oct. 4-10 National Fire Prevention Week, with the theme, “Play it Safe, Plan Your Escape.”. Smith has built a simulated escape route depicting a por­ tion of a room with a window, wall and door to teach youngsters how to escape in the event of a fire. “It will have a bed with a blanket and pillow and we’ll take a student and have them demonstrate it at school,” Smith said. “We’ll have them roll out of bed, crawl to the door and feel it with the back ofthe hand which is one ofthe most sensitive parts of the body. FIRE, continued page 2 Chip Smith was inspired by the death of four-yearold Andrew Anderson in a Nashville fire last January to devise a fire safety program for local youngsters.

(Maple Valley News photos) Firemen across the country are teaching youngsters during Fire Prevention Week this week to prevent disasters like this one where a four-year-old Nashville boy perished early this year.

VERMONTVILLE Fire Prevention, continuedfrom frontpage “If the door is cool, brace yourself against it and open it slowly and crawl along the floor to get out. If it’s warm, tuck a blanket underneath the door and usually the alternate route out is the window. “Go to the window. If you’re on the first story, climb out. If you’re on the se­ cond story, yell for help.” Smith strongly urges families to have an escape route previously planned and a predetermined meeting point away from the house designated. “And don’t ever go back inside,” Smith stresses. “Even if your family pet is in there, don’t go back. Most will find their own way out anyway.” Smith noted an in­ cident of a house fire where the family dog was found in' the basement of the home breathing through a hole in the concrete, after the flames had been extinguished. Smith has obtained a large number of brochures from various sources to distribute to the students and to the general public attending an open house at the fire station this Thursday, (from 2-8 p.m.), Friday (2-6 p.m.) and Satur­ day, (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). “Plan to Get Out Alive” brochures, secured from McDonald’s restaurants, con­ tain space and directions for families to map their escape.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, October 6, 1987 — Page 3 kindergarten and the first grade classes will hear the presentation. Fire trucks and firefighting gear will be on hand for the students to observe, Smith said. “Hopefully the kids will take the material home to their parents,” says Smith. “It might get them thinking.” Smith said in talking with the principal of the two elementary schools, Joy Frith, he learned she was enthused about the program, and that the teachers were also looking forward to it. Smith said all the lower grade youngsters are being targeted with the “play it safe” campaign this year because his department has not had a safety program in the past. “Next year we’ll just be teaching second and third grade or third and fourth,” he said. Smith, a Hastings native, and his wife, Karen, have a three-year-old son, Jason, and have lived at 520 Chapel St. in Nashville for five years. Smith has been a Nashville fireman for 2‘A years. “After that little boy died (Andrew Anderson), I started talking with Doug Yarger, the fire chief about putting together this program,” notes Smith. “When I found him, I had to carry him out. It was probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.” �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, October 6, 1987 — Page 4 Nashville's 'new' bridge brought a promise of hope for better times related to the bridge project. carried ongoing progress “A serious accident Sunday reports. “Our new bridge is coming morning marred the smoothness which has in along nicely,” noted The general attended the progress The building of Nashville’s News on August 16, 1934. new Thornapple River bridge “The central pier has been of our new bridge,” reported in 1934 was an economic completed and forms remov­ The News on Sept. 20, 1934, blessing to a village reeling ed.

The Lions lost to Bronson 10-0 last Friday to drop behind unbeaten Pennfield. Maple Valley is 3-1 while Pennfield is 3-0. The win ties Bronson with the Lions for se­ cond place. Maple Valley coach Guen­ ther Mittelstaedt said the loss isn’t crippling, but it realistically assures the Pan­ thers of at least a cochampionship. “If we don’t beat Pennfield and Olivet we’re out of it,” Mittelstaedt acknowledged. The third-year varsity coach realizes his team’s back is against the wall, especially after the poor performance against Bronson. ■■ “We’ll find out,” he said. “I think we can beat them.” Bronson used a 40-yard field goal by John Gaton at the 7:15 mark of the fourth quarter for a 3-0 lead. The field goal followed a blocked punt at the Lion 24. Following an interception and two crucial 15-yard penalties, Bronson scored again on a nine-yard run by Chris Wittington with 1:56 left in the game. Mittelstaedt said mistakes were the difference in the game. “We had a tough time mov­ ing the ball,” he said. “We had four turnovers to their one and we had 90 yards in penalties to their 45. “We just didn’t play well, I guess.

October 6, 1987 — Page 8 State Police commend Nashville resident for catching burglar of a burglary suspect on Nov. 3, 1983.” The award took so long to be processed, state police said, because paperwork was mislaid when the local office was moved. On that day, at 8:45 a.tn., state police trooper Mike Haskamp said, Scott observed a strange van parked in front of his son’s house, located across the road from his own home. Scott’s son Bradley had just left for work, the elder Scott said, and Bradley’s wife was A 67-year-old Nashville resident has been recognized by the Michigan State Police for his work in foiling a burglary attempt and helping to catch the thief. Phillip Scott of 10398 Thor­ napple Lake Road was given a “distinguished citizen award” last week, signed by the Michigan State Police director.

Scott went over to his son’s house to investigate, he said, and when he walked into the kitchen, he saw a figure in the living room. The burglar was a black male, later identified as William Boyd, now 42, whose address at the time was 3046 Annabelle, Detroit. Scott “hollared at the subject,” trooper Haskamp said, and the burglar tried to run past Scott and out the back door. Scott said he blocked Boyd’s path to the door and ordered the burglar to sit down in a chair at the kitchen table. By this time, Scott said, his wife Sara had entered the kit­ chen, and Scott told her to call the police. When Sara tried to make the call, she said, she discovered the phone wires had been yanked loose from the wall. Sara went across to her own home to make the call, her husband said, and the burglar made his move. The man grabbed a con­ tainer of mace hanging from his belt (Scott said he thought the container was a lighter at the time) and sprayed Scott full in the face with it. The man then sprayed Scott’s two dogs, grabbed his hat, coat, and a pillowcase full of loot he’d already gathered from the house and high-tailed it out of the house through a nailed-shut screen door, Scott said. Scott said the man was just recovering from going through the screen door when Scott, who’d grabbed a garden hoe, struck the burglar over the head. The hoe broke into four pieces. The burglar dropped his hat, coat and the pillowcase, Scott said, and ran to his van. Scott, now “furious” with the burglar, ran across the road to his Olds Cutlass and gave chase, The burglar headed west on Thomapple Lake Road, and Get the News!

Box B, Hastings, Ml. 49058 Nashville resident Phillip Scott (left) foiled a burglar who'd entered the home of his son Bradley (right) and was awarded a "distinguished citizen award" by the Michigan State Police. Trooper Mike Haskamp (center), who made the arrest of the burglar, applied for the award for Scott, saying Scott "did all the work. He went after the subject and chased him until the police came. There's not too many people who will do that kind of thing." Scott caught up with him just before Thomapple Lake ends at N-79, Scott said. Scott managed to pass the van, he said, and then ensued a wild cat-and-mouse game of Scott trying to keep the van behind him until police could come to the rescue. Scott said he reached speeds of up to 85 mph during the chase — “I cleaned the car­ bon out of it catching up with him,” Scott said of his car. The two vehicles wove back and forth across the road, jockeying for position and try­ ing to avoid other traffic, Scott said. The burglar drove his van west on M-79 and had almost reached M-37 when Trooper Haskamp, responding to Sara’s call, joined the chase and finally forced the van to stop. Boyd was arrested and tried for burglary. He was found to have three prior felony con­ victions, Scott said, including one for arson, one for rob­ bery, and one for assault with a deadly weapon. He was found guilty of burglary in 1984 and sentenc­ ed to 30 to 45 years in prison. Boyd was apparently carrying a knife, Scott said, although he never saw the weapon. But Scott never gave a thought to the fact that he was jeopardizing his own safety, he said. “People don’t scare me. I’ve always been able to take care of myself.” Instead, Scott said, he was “very angry” with the burglar — mad because Boyd “was getting away with something that wasn’t his” and mad because he’d been maced (the mace blinded him temporarily in one eye and made him nauseous, he said). In the pillowcase were silver dollars, rings, watches, a radio and even a lamp — personal valuables that are hard to replace, Scott said. Scott praised the police, particularly Haskamp, for their help, and said ofthe inci­ dent, “it isn’t anything more than what anybody ought to do when your family’s being robbed.” Maple valley Carpet Care Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning TOM FRITH, owner Phone — 948-8381 RESIDENCE: 517-852-9650 SPECIAL SALE! 1 Two Days Only OCTOBER 16 & 17 218 E.

The church will celebrate its sesquicentennia) next year with the Lansing native leading the flock. “I almost feel my whole life has been a preparation for this church,” said Nolen, who was installed as pastor Sept. 27. “I’ve always been involv­ ed in church, teaching Sunday School and serving on boards and committees.” The hiring of Nolen for the position ends a nine month search by the church to locate Vermontville Fire Department announces activities for Fire Prevention Week “Play It Safe... Plan Your Escape!” during Fire Prevention Week, October 4-10, ad­ vises the Vermontville Fire Department and the National Fire Protection Association. This year’s event focuses on home fire escape planning and preparedness, according to Lana Oster, fire prevention chairperson, and encourages all area families to set aside time during the week to develop and practice a home fire escape plan. “Each year, thousands of people die in the U.S. as a result of fire, ” said Oster. “Most of these people - more than 80 percent - die in their own homes. That’s why it’s important for families to spend some time to plan how they would escape in case of fire strikes,” she said. Traditionally, communities across the country have set aside 8 p.m. on Wednesday of Fire Prevention Week to develop a home fire escape plan. The family then has the remainder of the week to make sure everyone is familiar with the plan and has sufficient time to practice. Local activities are again planned for this year to assure all families are as safe from fire as possible. These activities include: Monday, Oct. 5 distribution of Fire Prevention materials to Maplewood Elementary re: OPERATION EDITH; Wednesday, Oct. 7 - Vermontville Fire Dept, visit to Maplewood Elementary; Oct. 7, 8 p.m. - Operation Edith listen for the siren - begin Plan Your Escape. Please plan to participate and set aside time for this worthwhile program. The Vermontville Fire Dept, will be be open open Wednesday Wednesday evening, evening, Oct. 7 for any persons interested in more information concerning fire safety,” Oster said.

Volunteers are essential to the successful delivery of 4-H programs to youth. During the past year more than 300 adult volunteer leaders and 88 teen leaders assisted 4-H youth throughout Eaton County. They share their skills, time and experience to help make the best better. It is this spirit of volunteerism that has con­ tributed so much to our pro­ gram’s success. 4-H volunteers come from all backgrounds, educational levels and experiences. Teen leaders help younger members and the club to grow and develop, while acquiring leadership abilities themselves. Volunteers do not have to be experts in specializ­ ed subject matter areas. 4-H leaders build on experience and help young people prepare for the future. Some leaders possess a particular skill or expertise and others volunteer because they like 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 pro­ vides many opportunities for adults and teens to share skills and the leaders are rewarded by watching young people grow and develop their skills, 4-H leaders give direction and leadership to young people through local 4-H clubs which are groups of5 or more young people between the ages of 6 and 19 years. Interested adults can hfelp prepare young people in their community for tomorrow by joining the ranks of 4-H volunteers.

Drs. CR Barnett, left, and Lee O. Stuart of Lake Odessa are now practicing obstetric medicine at the office of Dr. Thomas Myers in Nashville one day each week. Myers will continue to treat other patients. by Shelly Sulser Lake Odessa family doctors Lee O. Stuart, MD, and CR Barnett, MD will begin prac­ ticing obstetrics and other medicine at the office of Dr. Thomas Myers in Nashville one day each week, Myers said. Myers said he discontinued obstetrics nearly one year ago due to the skyrocketing risk of liability, but plans to continue seeing other patients. “Because I quit doing OBs we asked them if they would like to come over here,” Myers said. “They were very responsive to that.” Myers said he had received a number of phone calls from concerned patients thinking he was retiring from his practice. “I am not retiring,” Myers stressed. He also noted the two doctors will continue their DURA^ROOF practice in Lake Odessa as well. Appointments with either Stuart or Barnett will be available on Tuesday morn­ ings for prenatal care.

Lansing 485-1163 or Charlotte 543-0200 From our readers Reader thinks student discipline was unjust To the editor: In the past, I have witnesses injustices in the disciplinary policies of Maple Valley High School. This week what I believe is another gross injustice occur­ red when a Maple Valley High senior athlete was ex­ pelled from school for five days and kicked off his high school team for four weeks. This disciplinary action was given because this young stu­ dent has been accused of at­ tempting to take a 15 cent car­ ton of milk. But let’s explain what happened! Our school has purchased serving plates. They no longer use trays. These plates are so small that when a good sized football player wishes to buy a second carton of milk, he has no place to put it on the tray except on the top of his food. On Wednesday this young man made a fatal mistake. He put the milk in his pocket to keep it from crushing his food. When asked about paying for the milk in his pocket, he said, “Oh, yes! my milk, that too!, and he paid for the milk with his lunch before he ever left the cafeteria line. Did this student steal anything? Absolutely not! And yet our school treats him like a common criminal. This young man is a good student and an excellent athlete. He spends every night in football practice and is a leader in our school and com- munity. He is the kind of stu­ dent that we are proud of here at Maple Valley. And yet he is given no respect! He was not even allowed by school officials'to give an explanation of what went on. When he reached the school office, his sister was being called and had already been told that he was expelled from school. We are denying this young man to his right to an educa­ tion. This type of action by. our school officials is not only inhumane, but I think it’s illegal! I think it’s time that the citizens of our community got involved in this school. Ifyou feel as I do that this action is unjust, please take the time to call or write the Maple Valley School Board and let them know how you feel. They will be in session on Thursday night. I know that I’ll be there. Bonnie Laverty Vermontville Citizen calls for superintendent dismissed To the editor: The results of the election September 22, have shown our children, our neighorboring communities and the en­ tire state that vested interests, violence, fraud, forgery, in­ eptness, intimidation, ig­ norance and apathy are the principles for which our com­ munity stand. It is a sad com­ mentry that this rural com­ munity cannot rise above pro­ tectionism and narrow mindedness. The Facts In January 1987, Mr. Wolff was to deliver a 5-year plan for Maple Valley School District, as requested by the board. He did not, but promis­ ed to deliver by June. He did not, again with a promise to deliver by August—he did not! Mr. Wolff is required by law to prepare a budget for the school district by Oct. 1. The school district financial year began in July. Only after repeated requests did he deliver a proposed budget on Sept. 22. This leaves very lit­ tle time for the finance com­ mittee to review the budget, make recommendations and present it to the Board. Mr. Wolff invested money in a~ Nashville account, possibly not the most produc­ tive, rather than, following advice of the auditors to choose other investments which would have created ad­ ditional funds for the districts treasury. Think of all the Athletic Booster’s long hard hours, working for our children, while money slipped away. Mr. Wolff has admitted he has violated the state law and school policy concerning bid­ ding procedures. He asks that we forgive him and overlook his errors! Overlook errors that will cost the district thousands of dollars? He has involved this district in a legal and financial dilemma. Only time will tell the extent of the cost due to lawsuits from contractors—and the effect the buildings will suffer in the mean time, since no work can be done until someone can straighten out this mess. Mr. Wolff had been advised that an architect was needed before bids could be let. Mr. Wolff let the bids twice and did not contact an architect. I am asking that the board act swiftly, decisively and unanimously to dismiss Mr. Wolff. Failure to dismiss Mr. Wolff will be failure on the part ofthe board to perform in the best interest of our school district.

Escorted to the altar by her father, the bride wore a floor­ length gown of satin, trimmed with pearls, Venice lace and satin bows. She carried a bou­ quet ofwhite sweetheart roses and baby’s breath. The maid of honor was Cheryl Ames, sister of the bride, the bridesmaids were Carolyn Jones, and Colleen Corrigan, friends ofthe bride.

Best man was Craig Ostergren, brother of the groom. Groomsmen were Bob Broron and Jeff Klamer, friends of the groom. They were attired in gray tuxedos with peach bow ties and cummberbunds. The ushers were Brent Moore, cousin of the groom, and Erik Ostergren, cousin of the groom. Master and mistress of ceremonies were Joan and Homer Winegar, aunt and un­ cle of the groom. A reception was held in the church basement following the ceremony. Ruth Cole, friend ofthe bride and groom, designed and decorated a beautiful three-layer cake, trimmed with peach flowers. Vernon Curtis, friend of the bride, video-taped the wedding. Special guests of the bride and groom came from Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York. The couple took a honey­ moon trip to Nigara Falls and now reside in Wixom. referral to a nearby eye physi­ c i a n and surgeon (ophthalmologist) who has volunteered to provide care. Every patient will be given a comprehensive medical eye examination for eye diseases and any needed treatment to Evergreen trees and shrubs may be green all year round, but their needles aren’t everlasting. Many shed old needles or leaves in the fall or spring to make way for new growth. Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, says homeowners often panic when they spot large numbers of suddenly brown needles throghout their pine trees in the fall. When the needles rain down on the ground, the homeowners rush to call a “plant doctor” to save their “dying” trees. “In most cases, there’s nothing going on except the natural shedding of older foilage,” Krizek says. “Evergreens tend to hold onto their leaves longer than deciduous plants, but they do lose them eventually.” White pines and arborvitae usually drop needles in the autumn of their second year. Juniper and Douglas fir needles may persist for 10 or more years, while those of bristlecone pine may hang on for up to 30 years. Yews com­ monly lose three-year-old needles in late spring or early summer. Broadleaves evergreens sh­ ed their leaves, too, generally in the late summer or early fall when leaves are two or three years old. Leaf drop in evergreens can be a sign of problems, of course, Krizek points out. Ex­ cess soil moisture or drought, winter desiccation (drying), windblown salt spray from nearby roads, air pollution, insect attack and the urine of male dogs can all cause por­ tions of evergreens to turn brown at unseasonable times of the year. Danger signs are a plant that’s shedding the current season’s needles, browing at the tips of the branches rather than inside the tree, and yellowing that is not uniform throughout the tree. Any of these may indicate something other than natural leaf drop and warrants further inspection to determine the cause. Lake Odessa Auto Parts YOUR .. HQU QUEST SESTTORE protect vision. Services of the volunteer ophthalmologist are provided at no out-of-pocket cost to the patient. For this project, volunteer ophthalmologists are accepting Medicare and/or other health insurance assignment as payment in full for their services. If the patient has no insurance coverage, medical eye care is provided without charge. Although there is no finan­ cial qualification for the pro­ gram, the emphasis ofthe pro­ ject is to help those who may be without the means to pay — those who need the care the most. To be eligible, a person must be age 65 or older, a U.S. citizen, and no longer have access to an ophthalmologist he or she has seen in the past. This is not an eyeglasses program. The National Eye Care Project is designed to provide comprehensive medical eye examinations and treatment to prevent or control eye disease. Eyeglasses are not covered by the program. If hospitalization is needed, volunteer ophthalmologists may be able to work with the patient to obtain needed care. Hospital charged are not covered under this program or by the doctor. The National Eye Care Pro­ ject is for needy older persons who do not have an ophthalmologist. It is not a second opinion program.

Single tickets are available. The Explorers Club is an international organization of scientific explorers of proven accomplishment. Club presi­ dent John Bruno ofNew York City, will be among those at­ tending Dr. Ballar’s presentation. Dr. Ballard is presently the Senior Scientist in the Depart­ ment of Ocean Engineering at the Woods Hole Oceangraphic Institution in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. He and his team discovered the Titanic in 1985 .after a 10 year search. The Titanic Project nar- rative is told by Dr. Ballard in two phases: locating the sunken ship and preparing to go inside Titanic with remote­ ly controlled imaging robots. Finding Titanic has triggered a new era in underwater exploration. The Titanic was on its maiden voyage in 1912 when it struck an iceberg shortly before midnight on April 14 about 95 miles south of the Grand Banks of New­ foundland. It sunk at 2:20 a.m. on April 15. Of the 2.224 persons aboard. 1.513 died from the disaster. At the time, the Titanic was the largest and most luxurious liner afloat. It was considered unsinkable because four of its 16 watertight compartments could be flooded without the ship sinking. Unfortunately, five compartments were rup­ tured when the ship struck the iceberg. To compound the situation, available lifeboats held only 1,178 persons and the liner California, which was only 20 miles away, did not have its radio operator on duty to receive a distress signal. Twenty minutes after the Titanic sunk, the liner Carpathia picked up 705 survivors.

October 13. 1987 Council turns down request for closed alley by Baptist Church by Shelly Sulser The Nashville Baptist Church is going ahead with the paving of its parking lot across from the Phillips Street sanctuary despite the denial by the Nashville Council to close two quarter alleys, one in the middle of the project. The council Thursday voted down the proposal to close the east one quarter of the east­ west alley between Phillips and Middle Streets and the west one quarter of the eastwest alley between Cleveland and Phillips streets by a unanimous vote following a public hearing on the matter. Nearly 50 members of the church and residents opposing the proposed abandonment at- Nashville Village President John Hughes explains the proposed abandonment to the crowd at the meeting. tended the hearing. The church had been pressured by the zoning board earlier this year to pave the lot after complaints by nearby residents that parking on the unpaved lot was causing a dust problem. A village or­ dinance states all parking lots within the village must be paved. At first, the church was reluctant to pave due to the high cost and because they were their undecided on what they would do with the lot. Church members later voted to make the lot a park­ ing area and to spend the money for paving. The church petitioned the council Sept. 10 asking the alleys be abandoned to allow for the paving to continue, and for the future construction of a fellowship hall next to the church. Church officials believed the action was need­ ed in order to pave over a por­ tion of the alley. “We were under the assumption that if we owned the property on both sides (of the alley, which the church does) they would give us the whole property,” Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe said Mon­ day. “That’s what they had done for people in the past we thought.’’ The church had first peti­ tioned the council thinking their own signatures were all that was needed because they owned the property on either side of both quarter alleys. But the council required Close to 50 concerned church members and residents forced the Nashville council to move its meeting to the Castleton Township Hall Thursday to discuss and act on a proposed alley abandonment. The council voted 7-0 to keep the alleys open. signatures on the petitions from residents of the entire two blocks affected by the project which resulted in some opposition. The church returned to the council Thurs­ day with the new signatures. “I’m opposed to the closing of the alleys,” said Middle Street resident and Nashville Zoning Board Administrator Ron Bracy at the meeting. “On Sunday morning I see cars parked in the alley. It shows the church and other people in the community are using it.” Gardner said the quarter alley between Middle and Phillips would remain open even if the council abandoned it to the church. “It will not be blocked off,” he said. Roscoe said the denial by the council does not prohibit the church from paving over a portion ofthe alley, but it does mean the alley can not be blocked. “If they don’t want us to close off those alleys, it’s fine with us,” Roscoe said. He said the church can still build a new structure on church pro­ perty without interfering with the village alleyways. “We have a large enough place if we want to put up a building. We don’t need the alley clos­ ed. It’s no big deal.” One resident was disturbed Administrators get pay hike; Board upholds Siple decision Bonnie Laverty defended Dan Siple at the Maple Valley Board of Education meeting Thursday. Siple was suspended from school and from the football team for allegedly intending to steal a carton of milk. by Shelly Sulser The Maple Valley Board of Education granted district ad­ ministrators what they say amounts to a nine percent hike in wages with a new contract settlement at a meeting Thursday. Curriculum Coordinator Vic Schug, sitting in for Superintendent Carroll Wolff, said the salary increase was agreed upon to mike district administrators competitive with other school systems. Wolfftold the board he is con­ tinuing an indefinite sick leave. “We had not paid an in­ crease for the past two years for the principal positions,” he explained, “so we’ve got­ ten into a catch up mode to balance the salaries so they are competitive with other districts.” He said the wage agreement amounts to nearly a nine per­ cent jump for the Maple Valley Administrators Association. With the increase, Nashville’s Kellogg Elemen­ tary and Fuller Street Elemen­ tary School Principal Joy Frith who currently makes S«e Administrators, page 2 Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High Assistant Principal Ed Sampson states his reasons for acting as he did when deciding to punish Siple. by the thought of the church erecting a new structure. “I am very much against the closing ofthe alleys,” said Wilma DeCamp at the public hearing. “I don’t want any building sticking up on the northwest comer of my pro­ perty. I’ve lived there for 36 years. It used to be a nice neighborhood. I didn’t used to have to fight everybody for serenity.” Another resident agreed. See Council, Page 3 At least two seek School Board seat Two Maple Valley School District residents had returned nominating petitions to the of­ fice of the superintendent at press time Monday to seek Dale Ossenheimer’s vacated school board seat. John Krolik of 5407 Ver­ montville Hwy., Vermont­ ville, defeated in the June election, is making a second bid for school district office, said a spokesperson for Superintendent Carroll Wolff who is on sick leave. Terril Powers of Greggs Crossing Road, Nashville will make her first bid for a school board seat in recent years, in the Nov. 23 election being held to replace the recalled Ossenheimer. Ossenheimer was voted off the board Sept. 22 by a public referendum for his alleged mishandling of an evaluation of Wolff last December. Due to claims by Ossenheimer that election of­ ficials had not properly con­ ducted the recall election, the Board of Education has re­ quired that all workers in the Nov. 23 referendum complete a Nov. 5 training session for election inspectors. The training session will be conducted by the Michigan State Board of Elections at the Maple Valley School Ad­ ministration office. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, October 13, 1987 — Page 2 Council turns down request to close alley by Baptist church Continued from front page— “I’m opposed to any large structures being put there. We already have problems with not enough air. This would drive people right out of the neighborhood,” said the unidentified man. After the council returned to regular session, there was discussion regarding the straying by the council from past procedure concerning alleys. Village President John Hughes admitted the council has granted requests in the past to abandon quarter alleys while policy states alleys will be abandoned in full blocks only. “But we still have to take action,” Hughes said. “I do think the policy needs to be reworked. It’s pretty ambiguous.” The council supported 7-0 a motion by Marsha Ainslie to not abandon the alleys. Trustee and Zoning Board Chairman Carl Tobias com­ mented the church has not submitted plans for a new church building . “We have been after them to come up with a plan for a parking lot. I was not under the understanding that they were going to build a building Lester DeGroot, pastor of the Nashville Baptist Church, states his view during the public hearing Thursday.

October 13. 1987 — Page 3 Administrators get pay hike, Board upholds Siple decision Continued from front page $35,549, according to board secretary Bea Pino, will get $37,987. Dave Doozan’s salary will jump from $35,253 to $37,671. He is Maplewood Elementary Principal in Vermontville. Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School Principal Larry Lenz is presently paid $38,988 and will get $41,524 with the pay hike. Assistant Principal and Athletic Director Ed Samp­ son’s salary will go from $36,439 to $38,934, Pino said. Gelaid Aldrich, the director of transportation, facilities and equipment, will have his salary increased from $26,312.60 this year to $28,022.88, Pino said. Schug said some additional fringe benefits were agreed upon by the board as well, and the two central office book­ keepers, Pam Harvey and Nancy Moore also have new wage agreements. Pino added the contract states all district principals are required 2o have master’s degrees. The contract is a two year agreement that is renew­ ed annually providing a satisfactory job is completed, she said. New administrators will be required to reside in the district as well, Pino said. She said current administrators not living in the district will not be forced to move because agreements had previously been reached with them that they could live outside the district. “But from now on, all new people will have to reside in the district,” Pino said. The board acted at the meeting with only four members present and Wolff absent from the meeting. Trustees David Hawkins and Loren Lehman were absent, and the recently relinquished seat held by Dale Ossenheimer created a third vacancy on the board Thurs­ day. Four votes in favor of an issue was required for a mo­ tion to pass, they noted. The four, Bea Pino, Ron Tobias, Jerry Brumm and Charles Viele voted to adopt a new fiscal year budget show­ ing revenues of $5,051,000 and expenditures of $5,069,000. Although the budget reveals an apparent $18,000 deficit, Schug said $45,675 is amortization ofbus purchases. Approximately $2% million of the revenues are provided by state aid, while $1,805,949 is local millage revenue. In other business, the board upheld a decision by Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School Assistant Principal Ed Samp­ son to punish senior Dan Siple for the attempted stealing of a carton of milk. Sampson sentenced Siple to five days suspension from school without opportunity to make up homework and four weeks without football. There was some concern by those present after hearing the recount of, the incident from both Bonnie Laverty, representing Siple, and by Sampson, that Sampson had not acted fairly in his punish- ment of Siple because he ap­ parently did not talk to Siple before administering judge­ ment. Siple also attended the meeting. Sampson said he made his decision after hearing from three faculty members who witnessed the incident first hand. “My feeling was that Dan took the milk,’\ he said. “He See Administrators, page 6 Turn your house IV ^_B U _ Energy efficiency pays off in more ways than one.

But at the time of the hearing, it had not yet been obtained by the council. Hughes said the company would grind and grade glass, but knew nothing about what would be produced. After a question by Cooley what the waste product would be, Hughes said Hoag told him it would be non-toxic. “I don’t deny these ques­ tions need to be asked of this gentleman, ” Hughes noted. “I think we’ll just adjourn this public hearing and call another one.” In other action, the council adopted a resolution declaring Oct. 18-24 Water Quality Awareness Week in Nashville.

Former Barryville Lad Victim Of Auto Accident Francis E. Higdon, Bank Teller At Stuart, Florida, Fatally Injured When Car Overturns A keen feeling of sorrow permeated the com­ munity last week, when the news spread that Francis E. Higdon, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Higdon of Barryville, had passed away at Stuart, Florida. Francis had been teller of the Seminole Bank of Stuart for the past two years, and on Thursday afternoon was tak­ ing advantage of a half holi­ day by taking an auto trip on the Dixie Highway. He was accompanied by Miss Gladys Sherrard of Vermontville, a cousin of Mrs. Ralph Town­ send, who was visiting relatives in Florida. Near Salerno, the car skipped on the wet pavement, and though operated at a moderate speed it slid out of the road and overturned. Miss Sherrard escaped without serious injury, but Francis, who was pinned beneath the car, suffered a scalp wound and also com­ plained of severe internal pains. He was removed to St. Lucie Sanitarium, where he passed away late in the evening... Francis, who had spent the greater part of his life at Barryville, graduated from the Nashville High School in 1924. Later he spent one year at M.S.C., and then entered Argubright’s Business Col­ lege at Battle Creek. Two years ago he was of­ fered a position with the 'Seminole Bank at Stuart, Florida, which he accepted. He filled the position with such marked success that the bank directors had approved his promotion to assistant cashier to take effect this week. His genial disposition and winning personality won him friends wherever he was. Golden Wedding Anniver­ sary Celebrated Mr. and Mrs. T.K.

I love my children and I want the best for them, in­ cluding fun and good times. Halloween has become a time of dress up and parties in school, but there are a few things that are not usually mentioned. We all know that devil, wit­ ches, ghosts, monsters, black cats, and jack o’lantems are a part of Halloween. This charade is portrayed to our school children as pretend or make believe. Many people from around the world and with different religious backgrounds will testify to the very real power of witchcraft, satanism* and spiritism. Witchcraft has been recognized by the U.S. Military and the Internal Revenue Service as a legitimate religion. I am very upset that our schools start indoctrinating our children with witchcraft the very first month that they begin attending school. Kindergarteners come home with many papers and ap­ proval stamps supporting wit­ chcraft. Our school system has bent over backward to remove Jesus from CHRISTmas. In fact, the last Christmas show, they did not have any traditional Christmas carols about The Baby Jesus, but instead replaced them with a song and skit about a witch! We must not be so stringent to remove every aspect ofGod from our schools and then be so lackadaisical that we allow the devil’s religion to flourish. There must be some con­ sistency here. Either we remove all religion from our public schools (including hanukkah, Christmas, Easter, Halloween) or we allow each group of people to observe their holidays in love. Our children are smarter than we think and they can spot hypocrisy in a minute. You would think that instead of all the various religions fighting to keep each other out ofthe schools, they would ban together to keep the devil out of the schools. Halloween is the Devil’s holiday. Since it seems to be the only religion that is still functioning in our schools, my children will not be par­ ticipating in the “festivities”. Thank you and God bless you. Sincerely Susan D.

He said that after joking and talking with his friends in the lunch line, he had forgotten the milk was there when asked by the cashier if what she saw is all he was paying for. He said yes, and did not reveal the milk until it was pointed out by the cashier, he said. ‘‘He made no attempt to conceal this carton of milk and made no hassle and paid for the milk,” Laverty said. “Dan did not steal that milk. He paid for it before he left the lunch line. But he had already been tried and found guilty with no chance to speak in his defense.” “I think he was denied due process,” agreed board secretary Bea Pino, who mov­ ed to allow Siple to make up his homework and to rescind the suspension. Pino, Brumm and Tobias voted in favor, but Viele supported the suspen­ sion. As a result, the motion failed because there were not four members approving the motion. The board also approved teaching contracts for Cindy Gutchess to teach sixth grade Fire Prevention program successful! at Maplewood Elementary School, replacing Mary Vliek; and Theresa Duffy to teach the half-time Young Fives program at Fuller School in Nashville, a position from which Anne Byrne resigned. In other action, the board: —approved the use of a school vehicle by the FFA to travel to St. Louis, Mo. for the Nov. 9 National Future Farmers of America Convention. —voted to replenish the school vandalism fund by $377.50, bringing the total back to $1,000. —purchased a special education bus with the cost to be reimbursed by the Eaton Intermediate School District. —granted aide Donna Garvey experience time based on aide experience and volunteer time, which resulted in a pay increase. —increased cooks’ time one half hour per day to ac­ comodate the added number of students using the hot lunch program. —read a letter from Superintendent Carroll Wolff notifying the board he would be extending his sick leave because more medical tests were needed.

George Hubka of 7950 Marshall Rd., Nashville will be sentenced for two charges of attempted false pretenses, and one charge of making false application for credit in the name of three Maple Valley Board of Education members, said Barry County Prosecutor Judy Hughes. Hubka entered his plea in Barry County’s 56th District Court to the misdemeanor charges after voluntarily ap­ pearing for his arraignment before Judge Gary Holman Tuesday morning. Hubka has pursued recall procedures against three Maple Valleey School Board members and supported the recent sucessful recall of another. Hubka has been charged with attempted false pretenses under $100 based on a forged order for a magazine subscription to “Advertising Age” to Maple Valley Board CLASSES: STENCILING Saturday, Oct. 17-1-3 p.m. BASKET w/REED BOW Monday, Nov. 9 - 6:30-9:30 p.m. BEGINNING BASKET Saturday, Oct. 17, 31 and Nov. 7 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. ANGELS Monday, Nov. 16 & 23 6:30-8:30 p.m. Phone: 852-1862 THORNAPPLE GENERAL STORE 201 Main Street, Nashville, Michigan HOURS: Wednesday-Saturday 10-5 "IV/iere there’s more In store foryou" of Education Vice President Loren Lehman of 11499 Nashville Hwy., Nashville. A second charge for attemp­ ted false pretenses under $100 was issued based on a forged order for information and sample kits concerning management effectiveness systems ordered from “Synergististics” to Maple Valley Board trustee and former president David Hawkins of 9300 Bivens Rd., Nashville. The third charge was for the molesting of a person in peaceable pursuit of occupa­ tion by making a false and fraudulent application for credit to American Express. Hughes said Hubka alleged­ ly filed an application for credit in the name of “Burner Ossenheimer,” intended to be Dale Ossenheimer, the recent­ ly recalled president of the Maple Valley Board of Education. Hubka allegedly listed Ossenheimer’s occupa­ tion as “document destroyer, chief burner for the State of Michigan”, relating to Ossenheimer’s admission in court that he burned seven in­ dividual documents used by the board to evaluate Superintendent Carroll J. Wolff last December. The two false pretenses charges each carry a max­ imum of 45 days in jail or a $50 fine and the third charge could result in Hubka being sentenced to 90 days in jail or paying a $100 fine. Hubka is employed by the Hastings Area School District as an instructor with the district’s Job Club, or job placement program, teaching referrals from the Department of Social Services how to seek employment.

Hubka’s no contest plea was the result of an agreement reached between his attorney, David Dimmers of Hastings, and Hughes, said Detective Sgt. Ron Neil ofthe Michigan State Police Wayland Post, who investigated the case. “We were originally con­ templating a felony charge tor forgery,” Neil said. “He agreed to plead no contest to three misdemeanors in lieu of a felony charge.” Neil said a no contest plea prevents the judge from asking certain questions of the defendent concerning details of the crime. * ‘Considering the seriousness of crimes, we’re angry and disappointed that the prosecutor has decided to accept a plea bargain and has reduced the felony charges to misdemeanors,’’ said Ossenheimer, Hawkins and Lehman in a prepared state­ ment. “Mr. Hubka (alleged­ ly) has applied for credit cards by forging our signatures.” The three school board members said they are still be­ ing harassed daily by phone calls and mail from companies all over the country which they believe stems from Hubka's alleged use of their names. In his month-long investiga­ tion of the case, Neil said he enlisted the assistance of a private document expert and a handwriting specialist to determine that Hubka had in fact filled out the magazine subscription orders and credit card applications. “Documents had been forg­ ed and information falsely put down in the names of Dale Ossenheimer, David Hawkins and Loren Lehman,” Neil said. “Because of that, they (the three men) were getting notices that credit card ap­ plications were being dissapproved because of inaccurate information — and none of them had applied for anything. “And with the magazine subcriptions, it was the sarnie scenario,” Neil continued. “They got billings for magazines they never ordered.” Neil said the first two charges fall under state statutes that state a forgery in­ strument can be an order, such as that allegedly used by Hubka to subscribe to the magazines. The third charge, “molesting of a person in peaceable pursuit of occupa­ tion by making a false and fraudlent application for credit” also falls under state statutes, Neil said. “That is ah unusual statute. However, we felt that situa­ tion occurred with the credit card applications,” he said. Neil said Hubka may have acted out of disgruntlement over “an apparently heated debate in the Maple Valley School District over the school board and the actions of the superintendent and some citizens.” “I looked at that issue ofthe credit card applications and thought, ‘what was the real reason?’ ” Neil said. He said he believed Hubka was trying to cause problems for the school board members, but he wondered what he was trying to accomplish. “Was it not molesting them in their pursuit of what they were trying to do as board of education members?” he asked. Neil said Hubka, Dimmers and Hughes agreed the charge was fair. Hubka’s arrest follows Hughes earlier report that she and Neil were investigating several criminal and civil of­ fenses allegedly committed by a recall leader. Ossenheimer, Lehman and Hawkins had also complained of late night visits and threatening and nasty phone calls from a recall leader. Hubka has pursued recall efforts against Lehman and Hawkins for their involve­ ment in the December Maple Valley Board of Education evaluation of Superintendent Wolff.

Election Commissioners to circulate petitions, he does not plan to go forward until he has received input from other recall supporters. “I still need to talk to peo­ ple and see what they think,” he said. “I can’t do this by myself. I’m only one person.” Hubka is accusing the men of not correctly following the board’s own written guidelines as to how the superintendent would receive a copy of the evaluation.' He claims the meh, as members of the board’s Policy and Athletic Committee, were negligent in not ensuring all seven board members had seen the evaluation first. Voters recalled Ossenheimer for his part in the evaluation in a special election on Sept. 22. Hubka is also awaiting a Dec. 2, 1987 judgement by Judge Hudson Deming in Charlotte’s Circuit Court in his suit against the board for alleged violation of the Freedom of Information Act, Hubka claims the board violated the act when they refused to release to the public the individual evaluation forms used by the board members to assess Wolff’s job performance. Later claims by Hubka that the board was also guilty of holding a secret “revolving board meeting,” at the superintendent’s office March b were found to be unfounded by former Eaton County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Jeff Sauter. Board officials have noted Hubka’s litigation against the the board has cost the district over $10,000 in attorney fees to date. Hubka had no comment on the current charges against him, but did note the case will not affect his ability to con­ tinue court procedures against the board in Charlotte regar­ ding the Dec. 2 judgement. He would not say whether he knew what he was alleged­ ly doing was illegal.

Lion gridders lose showdown matchup with Pennfield 37-15 If Guenther Mittelstaedt wasn't convinced a week ago he is now. Fully convinced. Pennfield took a major step forward in securing rights to the 1987 SMAA football championship with a devastating 37-15 conquest of Maple Valley last Friday, spoiling the Lions’ annual homecoming bash. Mittelstaedt admitted he wasn’t overly impressed with the unbeaten Panthers early in the season when they struggl­ ed with several opponents. But beginning with last week’s blowout of Kalamazoo Christian and continuing through the 22-point thumping of the Lions, Mittelstaedt has been persuaded to change his mind. “They’re the best team in the league,” Mittelstaedt now says ofthe Panthers, who rais­ ed their record to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in the SMAA. Maple Valley’s last hopes of gaining a piece of the SMAA|itle evaporate with the TfnTnnnnnnTTnTnnninTffnniTffnTnffnTTffnnnnnnTTTnTO sports 1111111111 n n 1111111111 h n 111111 n111 loss. The Lions are 3-2 and 4-2. Only Bronson at 4-1 has only any hope of catching the streaking Panthers. Pennfield ripped off a trio of first half touchdowns and never looked back. Bill Waterbury scored on a fiveyard run in the first quarter while Joe Lahusky tallied a pair of second quarter TDs on runs of seven and 60 yards. Pennfield led 22-0 at the half. Greg Flower gave Lion fans a brief chance to cheer on a four-yard touchdown run in the third period. Jeff Fisher passed to Dale Dickinson for the two-pointer. But Waterbury scored on a one-yard run and Lahusky ad­ ded a seven-yard scamper for a 37-8 lead.

Mittelstaedt said the Pennfield offense which rushed for 390 yards and passed for 63 more was as potent as he’s seen this year. “Our first team defense on­ ly stopped them once,” said Mittelstaedt. “They made us look bad. We had a couple of guys out, but we just got beat tackle to tackle. “I was very disapointed in our defense.” Offensively, Maple Valley finished with 11 first downs and 199 total yards. Lion quarterbacks Forell and Fisher completed a seasonhigh seven passes in 15 at­ tempts for 123 yards. Maple Valley rushed for a seasonlow 76 yards. Richard Meade and Cody Matson each caught two passes for 54 and 44 yards. “We almost got 200 yards in total offense so that’s respectable,” said Mittelstaedt. “We didn’t expect to go up and down the field on them.” — OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK — NEW MOVIES: Lady and the Tramp • Star Trek IV • The Wraith • Ernest Goes to Camp • Death Before Dishonor • Angel Heart • Heat • Mannequin • Hoosiers • Starship • Light of Day • Iron Eagle • Cat’s Eye • An American Tail • The Mission • My Demon Lover • Crocile Dundee • Nightmare on Elm St. Ill • Three Amigos! • Black Widow • Wisdom • The Golden Child • Bill Cosby: 49 • Crimes of the Heart • Pirates • Witchboard • Hannah and Her Sisters • Jumpin’ Jack Flash • Mosquito Coast • Wanted Dead or Alive.

Pino said Powers had submitted for comment on his reason for 158 names but 11 were found running for a school board spot or his position on current to be invalid. “I was really sorry about issues. that, ” Pino said. She said John Krolik, 39, is making his second bid for school board trustee. He and his wife, Cindy, live at 5407 W. Vermontville Hwy., Ver­ montville and have four children, Lindsey, 9, Erica 6, Andrew 3 and Hilary, 1. “When you look at educa­ tion, it’s the only basis for any future success kids may have when they leave the Maple Valley Schools,” he said. “So what I’d like to do is ex­ pand the options that are available. We’ve done okay but we can do better. ’ ’ Krolik feels people in the community should chip in to do what they can to help pro­ vide a good education at Maple Valley, “and that’s the basic reason that I’m runn­ ing,” he said. He added that if he is elected to the board, he would like to help accomplish three things. “With the announcement by Superintendent Caroil Wolff that he will be retiring, I would like to have a chance to _help choose the new superintendent,” Krolik said. He said he would also like to see a greater percentage of students going on to college or trade schools and that as a past member of the Citizens’ Ad­ visory Committee, he is in­ terested in seeing that the rest ofthe group’s five year plan is implemented. The Board Ap­ pointed Citizen’s Advisory Committee was formed in 1985 to study every aspect of school operation and make recommendations to the board which it did early in 1986. Krolik is employed as a broker in the wholesale lumber business in Lansing and has a business degree from Michigan State Univer­ sity. His wife, Cindy, has a master’s degree in education from Michigan State-Univer­ sity and taught seven years in the Lansing schools. The cou­ ple has lived in the Maple Valley School district for 15 years. Because there were com­ plaints that the felection to recall Ossenheimer Sept. 22 for his alleged mishandling of Wolffs. evaluation was not conducted correctly, the Michigan State Board of Elec- tions has mandated all election inspectors to take part in a Nov. 5 training session. Pino said she will appoint the same two chiefelection in­ spectors to work at their respective precincts along with two other experienced workers and two new people. Two alternates will also be appointed, she said. See Two vying, on page 14 Mengyan, Boggess co-chair school space study group by Shelly Sulser Vermontville’s Steve Bog­ gess and Lynn Mengyan of Nashville have been appointed by the Maple Valley Board of Education to co-chair a Facilities and Equipment Citizens Committee that will analyze a space shortage pro­ blem in the district. Boggess and Mengyan are two of 21 district residents chosen to fill positions on the committee that the board hopes can help solve the dilemma at. the four district school buildings. “We’d like them to make tours of the schools themselves and see what their recommendation is,” said Board Secretary Bea Pino. The group will learn from each building administrator what the needs are, said Pino, and will later compile their findings to offer their sug­ gested solutions to the board. Pino said three people ask­ ing for appointment to the committee were rejected at a meeting Oct. 8 due to their previous involvement with a Board Appointed Citizens’ Advisory Committee that studied every aspect of school operation including facilities in 1985. Pino said she wanted to in­ clude all 24 that applied for the committee but trustee Ron Tobias -felt the board should enlist only those who have riot See Mengyan, on page 14 M.V, students, senior citizens merge perspectives on 'life' by Shelly Sulser Nuclear war, taxes, suicide, morality, the school board recall and organized sports were some of the subjects discussed and debated by nearly 40 Maple ‘Valley students and local senior citizens at a Retiree/Youth Forum Thursday. The forum was a first for the Maple Valley District and was' coordinated by National Honor Society Advisor Sue Steffel, Maple Valley Com­ munity Education Coordinator Kay Hartzler and senior citizen lunch program participants. Groups of about five National,Honor Society Students and three senior citizens joined in conversations about current issues and the past and future of our world during a Retiree/Youth Forum Thursday at MVHS. Hartzler said the forum is an activity .often held in the Greenville and Ionia Schools, a concept she felt would benefit Maple Valley as well. “When we had the senior citizens group in the cafeteria one day I mentioned it and some seemed interested,” ex­ plained Hartzler. “And Sue Steffel, the advisor said the kids were looking for a pro­ ject. So with a committee of kids and Community Educa­ tion working with the seniors, we planned the program along with a potluck lunch and entertainment.” Four groups of about three seniors and five National Honor Society students met in the high school library to ad­ dress suggested topics such as entertainment, high school in the past and present, and governments in other countries. “They didn’t have to stick to the questions,” noted Hartzler. “They talked about all kinds of things.” The discussion groups met for over one hour before reorganizing later in the mor­ ning, Hartzler said.

Mildred Peabody of Ver­ montville said she enjoyed meeting with the youngsters in the forum. “I love it,” she said Thurs­ day during the program. “It's really a very nice experience. I think it's a very profitable thing.” Peabody later told her group that “I think older peo­ ple get the feeling they don't want to be a burden. People have to be around us to keep in touch with one another and then they can recognize when you're in trouble.” “I think it was great,” noted Wallace Graham of Nashville. “We talked about sports in high school, selec­ tion of subjects. So many (of the youth) seemed to know what they want to do, now and in years past they didn’t know what they wanted to do. It was surprising.” Graham, a 1933 graduate of Nashville High School said he would par­ ticipate in future forums if he had the opportunity. "This is a fantastic group of kids, 1 tell you/’ said his wife, Elinore. Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School Principal Larry Lenz and Assistant Principal Ed Sampson also sat in on the discussions. "I’m really excited about it,” said Lenz. “They talked about suicide, sports and their agffect on the academic pro­ gram here, homemaking skills, geography. I think the open lines of communication lets them know how they feel. I think they find that both are in touch and think on the same wave lengths.” When talking to her group, Kelly Hoefler expressed her joy in participating in such an activity. "I'm so excited — now 1 m looking forward to sitting down with my grandparents and talking with them like this, she said.

MEMBER FDIC �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, October 20, 1987 — Page 4 Street Sprinkling rig was a welcome sight in Nashville (Note: The following ac­ count first appeared in this column on October 31, 1981) In early Nashville, October generally brought an end to the annual spring-to-autumn ritual of street sprinkling, an early dust control measure. The late Frank Russell, who kept daily diaries during his 29-year tenure as Nashville village engineer, often noted 'the transition: “Took down south side street sprinkler stand pipe,” jotted Russell in Oct. 27, 1912 entry. (This followed his report of two killing frosts.) Four days later, on the 31st, Russell noted: “Cold this morning. Froze the mud a little on the [Thomapple River] bridge. Shut off street sprinkler on Sherman Street and took down stand pipe on Reed.” The standpipes Russell referred to were filling points for the horse-drawn sprinkling rig which normally, began watering down village streets as early as March or April, depending upon weather con­ ditions. Come fall, the pipes were taken down for the winter. Excerpts from Russell’s 1910 diary reflect a typical ac­ count of starting the seasonal ritual: “March 6, Ice all went out of river last night... March 18, Roads getting pret­ ty dusty... March 23, Just like summer weather... March 24, Street sprinkler started today. Nevada "Vade" Johnson, who moved to Nashville in 1912, is seen here about three years later as driver of the village's street sprinkling rig. The water wagon was a welcome sight to tidy housewives who battled clouds of road dust from spring to fall. The tank was filled at various standpipe locations, and made daily sweeps through town in the dusty season. Driver and team were hired to pull the village-owned rig. Children scamper across South Main Street on a paved crosswalk in this circa-1909 photo. There were no paved streets in the village at that time, making the water wagon a seasonal necessity. In 1917, a brick pavement was laid from Church Street (the corner v/here Quick Mart now stands) north to the presentday fire barn. It was not until the 1930s that paving of other village streets began. The brick paving of Main Street is seen in progress in this 1917 photo of the workmen, snapped near the intersection of South Main and Church streets. Marsman & Green of Grand Rapids hired more than 50 laborers for the job they contracted to do in 100 working days. Starting on July 9, they finished on October 22 despite delays due to a shortage of workers. Total cost of project: about $27,000. Si e. Sifif Sifif- 4L d dz A petition bearing penciled signatures of 44 eminent local citizens prompted the first paving of Nashville’s Main Street in 1917, an improvement which brought to an end the need for the water wagon's tour of the Main thoroughfare. However, it was several more years before less vital village streets were paved. The councoun­ cil acted on this petition in 1916; women were allowed to vote in the ensuing paving bond election.

Elementary schools set conference elates ^i. tjsS js Conferences will be held in the Maple Valley Elementary Schools Oct. 21-23. School officials consider conferences to be a vital part of the educational system. It gives the parents and teachers the opportunity to share im­ portant information relevant to the most successful educa­ tional means for the children. In order for a good con­ ference to take place, it is necessary for both sides to prepare. Here are some hints on how you can best prepare. - Talk with your child. Find out if there is anything that is bothering him/her. - Write down any questions you want to ask. - Ask for ways in which you can help your child. - Be willing to listen to what the teacher is telling you. Remember, quite often a child’s behavior is different at shcool than it is at home. The teachers are trying to get a better understanding of the students and are looking for your help. Nothing that is said should be taken as an insult to you as a parent. - Remember that this is a conference on one child. It is not a time to discuss your other children, car problems, etc. The conferences are only 15 minutes long. Try to keep to the subject.

Trailing 21-12 as the fourth quarter opened, the Lions scored first with 10:21 left in the game on a 17-yard run by Jared Carrigan. After forcing a Williamston punt, the Lions took posses­ sion on the Hornets 40-yard line with eight minutes re­ maining. Two key runs by Carrigan of 23 yards and 32 from Greg Flower moved the ball to the one where Flower scored with 5:02 left. Mike Everett's extra point made the final 25-21. Lion coach Guenther Mittelstaedt said his team looked sharp against the Hornets, which had lost only a onepoint decision to Stockbridge coming into the contest. “We played super," said Mittelstaedt. “Our offensive line dominated them.

Phone 948-8051 Independent Bank Corporation, the Ionia-based bank holding company, today reported a 9.3 percent in­ crease in net income for the first three quarters of 1987 compared to the results reported for the same period in 1986. The corporation’s net in­ come for the nine months end­ ed Sept. 30, 1987,, was $1,538,000, including an extraordinary item of $377,000. This was equivalent to $.85 per share on a fully diluted basis. One year ago, net in­come for the same three quarters was $1,407,000 ($.80 per share, fully diluted) including an extraordinary item of $338,000. In the third quarter, net in­ come was $509,000 ($.28 per share, fully diluted) including an extraordinary item of $116,000. Thiss compares with net income of $522,000 ($.29 per share, fully diluted) including an extraordinary item of $179,000, reported for the same period in 1986. All of the extraordinary items were tax benefits from loss carryforwards. Loren C. Adgate, president and chief executive officer of the corporation, issued the earnings report and com­ mented, “The year-to-year improvement in earnings is more significant than it might appear at first. In 1986, earn­ ings for the first three quarters reflected $312,000 more in in­ vestment security gains and a substantially smaller provi­ sion for loan losses than the 1987 results. Our day-to-day operations have been con­ siderably more profitable this year.” Adgate also emphasized that the increase in provision for loan losses is not due to any increase in charge-offs. “As a matter of fact,” he said, “charge-offs have decreased since the first and second quarter of the year. The only reason why the pro­ vision is up is that we have decided to increase the size of our loan loss reserve. “Because of the rash of bank closings that have plagued the west and southwest,” Adgate continued, “bankers are growing very conservative. Our action relects that trend. Moreover, we also believe that we should begin increasing our reserves in anticipation of the purchase of five Michigan National Bank offices that should take place around December 1, 1987, and the acquisition of Morley State Bank.” Independent Bank Corpora­ tion has three banking sub­ sidiaries: Independent Bank, Ionia; Independent Bank West Michigan, head­ quartered in Rockford; and Independent Bank South Michigan which has its main office in Leslie. The corpora­ tion has previously announced agreements to purchase the Michigan National Bank branch offices in Eaton Rapids, Portland, Potterville, Vermontville and Williamston and to acquire the Morley State Bank.

For the family caregiver, Alzheimer’s and related il­ lnesses are devastating. In­ dividuals who were previous­ ly competent, intelligent, and caring gradually become unable to read, to balance a checkbook, or carry on their normal roles within the family. Family caregivers gradually must assume their relatives’ responsibilities, at the same time providing more and more physical care. For some families, the most devastating part is not the burden of care, but the pain of watching the person’s personality and com­ petency slip away. To help those people who are working or living with confused older people, the Health and Human Services Center and the Gerontology Program of Eastern Michigan University is sponsoring a free workshop at the Eaton Rapids Senior Center at 201 Grand Street in Eaton Rapids NOTICE of PUBLIC HEARING November 4,1987 • 7:00 p.m. at the ...

(Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) by Shelly Sulser and JeffKaczmarczyk The Hastings teacher who pleaded no contest to charges of falsifying documents in the names of Maple Valley school board members was sentenced Monday to 12 months probation. George Hubka of 7950 Marshall Rd., Nashville, also received a sentence of nine days in jail to be suspended until the end of his probation. District Court. Judge Gary Holman told Hubka the nine days may be suspended per­ manently at the end ofthe pro­ bation period. Hubka was also ordered to participate in any mental health screening, counseling or treatment programs his probation officer determines he needs. Hubka pleaded no contest Oct. 6 in 56th District Court to two charges of attempted false pretenses and one charge ofmaking fake application for credit in the names of three Maple Valley Board of Education members. The first attempted false pretense charge stemmed from a forged order for a magazine subscription to “Advertising Age” for Maple Valley Board of Education Vice President Loren Lehman. The second charge was bas­ ed on a forged order for infor­ mation and sample kits con­ cerning management effec­ tiveness systems ordered from “ Synergististics ” to Maple Valley Board trustee and former president David Hawkins. The third charge was for making a false and fraudulent application for credit to American Express. In handing down his sentence, Holman ordered Hubka to avoid contact with Lehman, Hawkins and Dale Ossenheimer, recently recall­ ed president of the Maple Valley Board of Education, except for contact required for a separate pending legal matter. He was ordered to pay fines of $100 on each of the first two counts and $150 on the third charge. He was also directed to pay $540.84 in bills for handwriting analysis, lawyers fees, and for the three board members’ phone calls, mileage and magazine subscriptions. Holman also Ordered either Hubka or his attorney, David Dimmers, to send letters to American Express, the credit bureau and “Advertising Age” explaining that the forg­ ed documents were “incor­ rect, inappropriate and should not be held against the victims.” The two false pretenses charges each carried a max­ imum of 45 days in jail or a $50 fine, and the third charge carried a maximum of 90 days in jail or a $100 fine. Before Holman handed down his sentence, Barry County Prosecutor Judy Hughes asked the court to sentence Hubka to at least one day in jail. “He’s harassed political figures, and no one should have to put up with that,” she said. "Some people are a lot more motivated by the threat ofjail rather than going to jail itself.” But Dimmers argued that Hubka had no prior record and should not receive jail time as part of his sentence. “The defendent has a very good background,” Dimmers said. “He’s a college graduate and he’s been teaching 19 years in Ohio and in Michigan. “There are many things in his background that indicate over the years he’s reliable and a very good citizen,” Dimmers said. “He should receive credit for that and should not receive jail time.” Hubka declined to make any comment at the sentencing. Hubka's. decision to plead no contest came from an agreement reached between his attorney, Hughes and Detective Sgt. Ron Neil ofthe Michigan State Police Wayland Post, who investigated the case. Hubka agreed to plead no contest to the three misdemeanor charges in lieu of a possible felony charge. Entering a no contest plea prevents the judge from ask­ ing the defendent Certain ques­ tions concerning the details of the crime. During the month-long in- > vestigation of the case, Neil " determined Hubka had filled out magazine subscription orders and credit card applica­ tions in the names ofthe three board members. “Because of that, they (the three men) were getting notices that credit card ap­ plications were being disap­ proved because of inaccurate information — and none of them had applied for anything,’-’ Neil said earlier. Hubka had pursued recall efforts against Lehman and Hawkins for their involve­ ment in the December Maple See Hubka, on page 2 �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Tuesday, October 27. 1987 — Poge 2 Spanish exchange student is enjoying Maple Valley Schools by Shelly Sulser Being an exchange student is something Borja Goni of Spain is enjoying during his junior year at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. “I really enjoy it,” he said in his best English. “Things are so different. The school — in Spain you’re always in the same class and at home you can’t drive until you’re 18. Here, they’re 16 and they’re driving the car!” Borja, 16, came from his hometown of Pamplona, Varra to live with the Russ Weiler family in Vermontville last August through the Spanish Heritage exchange student program. Shortly following his arrival in the United States, Borja said he had the opportunity to tour New York City before his plane took him on to Detroit and then to Lansing. Since then he has been able to visit some favorite Michigan tourist spots like Frankenmuth and the Mackinaw Bridge. At school, Borja has en- joyed making new friends and he especially likes attending football games, he said. “There are no sports like that at my school,” he noted. “The rest (of the sports) are the same except there is no football or baseball.” Borja said he plans to join the Maple Valley track team in the spring. He explained his school. El Redin, contains grades one through 12 and the schedule is much different from that at Maple Valley. “We begin at 8 a.m. and then have a break at 10:30,” he explained, adding the students later go home for lunch and return for two more hours of stuay. At Maple Valley, Borja said he had little trouble locating his classes. He is enrolled in physical education, English, Spanish, U.S. History, chemistry and algebra. “The first day I met a lot of people,” he said. And now, students still approach him with curious questions and soon are added to his number of friends. “Sometimes people begin to speak to you. A lot of peo­ ple are asking me for my pic­ tures and they say things like ‘you’re a really nice guy’ and ‘I’ll miss you when you go home’,” he said. School pic­ tures at his Spanish school are only taken of students in the 12th grade, he noted.. Borja said he was somewhat saddened to find that school started on Sept. 1 which shortened his summer vaca­ tion by 14 days. “We don’t begin school un­ til September 15. When I began, all my friends (in Spain) were still on holiday.” Borja recalled being homesick soon after arriving in the United States, but the feeling soon dissipated. “To be an exchange student you have to be prepared to be an exchange student. It was hard at the beginning but now it’s easier,” said Borja who is in the United States for the first time. He added that he learned of the exchange pro­ gram after his family, com­ prised ofhis parents and three sisters, hosted a student from Wisconsin who could speak no Spanish. Borja’s family lives in an apartment, he said, inside the city where animals are not allowed. Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High exchange student Borja Goni of Pamplona, Varra, Spain enjoys reading as one of his hobbies. He said he has noticed the long distances local families must travel to go from town to town due to the expanses of farm land surrounding the area villages here. Eating schedules here also vary from his home, said Bor­ ja, where breakfast or the “heavy meal” is eaten at about 2 p.m., followed later in the evening by tea and dinner close to 9 p.m. Having tried pizza and ham­ burgers in the United States, Borja said he realizes food in his home country is “more natural.” After graduating from high Krolik School Board petitions found valid despite dates Continued from front page— scrivener’s error and that the petitions were probably valid,” Pino said. Pino said she later contacted the Michigan Department of Elections to determine what the law was pertaining to er­ rors on petitions. “They said if the date had How can you get help fast when your car is smashed? been Sept. 12 or some month earlier, it would have automatically been thrown out,” she said. Pino said citizens who cir­ culated Krolik’s petition were Mary Lehman, John Krieve, Bill Mason, LaDuska Sheldon and James Pino. Krolik said he would have waged a write-in campaign had the petitions been found unacceptable. Hubka sentenced to probation Continued from front page No problem. Count on the “no problem” people at Auto-Owners Insurance. They pride themselves on fast, fair claims service based on their strong common sense approach to settlements.

Stan Trumble, Teresa Jones, Mary Trumble, Ken Trumble & Kelly Jones Trumble Agency Valley Board of Education evaluation of Superintendent Wolff. Earlier, Neil said Hubka may have acted out of disgruntlement over a debate in the Maple Valley District over the school board and the actions of the superintendent and some citizens. Hubka is also awaiting a judgement expected on Dec. 2 in Charlotte Circuit Court in a suit against the board for alleged violation of the Freedom of Information Act. Hubka claims the board violated the act when they refused to release to the public the individual evaluation forms used by the board members to assess Wolff’s job performance. Hubka is employed by the Hastings Area School District as an instructor with the district’s Job Club, or job placement program, teaching referrals from the Department of Social Services how to seek employment. He is a resident of the Maple Valley School District where his two children attend school and his wife teaches. Maple Valley Athletic Boosters 517-726-0580 178 S.

(An earlier paper. The Union Star, had been published in the mid-1880s at the old Union School, which burned in 1902.) Vidian Roe, a senior, was elected by an overwhelm- ing majority bf his fellow students in 1931 to be editor of The Informant, which was printed at the local Nashville News office. The first issue of the school paper appeared on Oct. 12, 1931, and was featured exactly 51 years later (in 1982) in this column. To­ day, we take a look at ex- The first issue pf The Informant, on October 12, ’931, told of a tax cut and so impressed state school officials that they wrote letters which appeared in the next issue. Professionally printed at the Nashville News office, the school newspaper was supported by numerous local merchants as well as a few outof-town businessmen. A new advertiser announced in the second issue was the Strand Theater of Hastings, "one of the best equipped playhouses around here ... Newly decorated, and with courteous ushers." cerpts from Issue No. 2 of The Informant, dated Oct. 26, 1931. . Announcement “The Informant” is here in Nashville to cooperate with every person who will in the least give us the opportunity to do so. We believe that the best way to build up a great school, and a great community and a great Nashville, is for everyone to be friendly, work together, and boost for the in­ terests that We all share in common. You will find the office of this paper in Room Four of the school building and we will welcome you to come and inspect us at any time. So­ meone will always to be there to greet you and make you feel at home. What People Think My dear editor: . I wish to thank you most sincerely for the copy of The Informant which has just ar­ rived at my desk. I am im­ mediately interested in the “School Tax Rate Cut Fifty Per Cent” on the first page. I will be glad to see any or all of the copies of your high school journal. Again, thanking you, I am very sincerely yours, C. Lloyd Goodrich, Deputy Supt. of Public Instruction. I am in receipt of volume one of “The Informant.” It contains some excellent material that should be of in­ terest to the tax paying school electors. I shall try to drop in and see you sometime when I am in that part of the state even though you do not have a rural agricultural school. With kindest personal regards.

Wayland Defeats Local Gridders - Nashville Boys Play a Losing Game From the Start - Final Score 45-0 Last week the University of Michigan took a beating from Ohio State. After the game every student in Ann Arbor proceeded to have a good time. It was just good sport­ smanship. and there was nothing to worry about. For two successive weekends, our boys have gone down to bitter defeat, but each time they come up smiling...Friday at Wayland the boys fought a losing fight from the beginn­ ing. As soon as the first whis­ tle blew, it was evident that they should lose. Wayland had a bunch ofgood, clean but hard-hitting men. They were heavy, they knew football, and played the game because they loved it. The Nashville men started the game...and gave every ounce of strength that they had. Not once did they flinch or run. And in the last quarter, when all chances of victory had slipped by, they were still fighting for Nashville and their school...(Detailing line­ up, writer noted of fullback) Gage received an injury in the second period. He went back into the game in the third period, playing a wonderful game of ball but a losing fight against injuries. Capt. Sackett and Couch on ends fought hard for every tackle, and blocked to protect the backfield. Varney, although injured, marshaled the team throughout the whole game, and it is our desire to have the boys know that we are satisfied with the results, pro­ ud of them, and we will back the team and every player through every game, win or lose. Sideline Opinions What finer backing can any coach or team have than to have a following from his community Travel with them to the game? At Friday’s game in Wayland our delega­ tion nearly outnumbered that of Wayland. One had only to look on the sidelines to see our boosters: Ed Kane, L.G. Cole, Chas. Betts, Mrs. Carl Lentz, Rev. Francis, Rev. Hayes. D.D. Hess (with an ambulance full of high school rooters), Mrs. John Woodard, Bertha Woodard, Harold Woodard, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Nelson, Mr. and Mrs. J.D. VanDeventer, and several others. The following statements were made to an Informant reporter: “The boys had too much weight against them and with the hard luck they did as much as could be expected against these odds. Come on, boys, win the next game and my promise of a treat still holds good.” - Ed Kane. “They were outclassed, but played the game every minute as well as anyone could ask for. I’m back of ’em more than ever and would only sug­ gest that they drink more milk to put on more weight.” L.G. Cole. (Cole was owner of the local Riverside Dairy.) “I enjoyed the game and thought well ofthe boys’ play­ ing. The only part of the whole thing that I didn’t like was when Wayland crossed over goal line.” J.D. VanDeventer. “The boys displayed a great deaf of grit in the playing but with Wayland’s fullback weighing 240 pounds and the other ten players in propor­ tion, N.H.S. had no chance whatever. One can consider it no disgrace to lose to such a team. Keep up the fighting spirit, boys.” - Leila L. Lentz. Grade Track Meet The track meet held Oct. 11 was a huge success, with Supt. Wallace, Dad Angell and Rev. Francis officiating. All students who were able to do so participated, making it an inter-mural affair. The contestants were divided into weight classes and competed on that basis. The track meet brought out much rivalry, especially in the Purchis fami­ ly. Elner Jane, in the third grade, tied her brother, an eighth grade student, on the chinning bar. Both chinned 11 times. The average record Transportation to "away” games in the early years of Nashville sports came in many forms — even an ambulance. The Informant reported on Oct. 26, 1931 that local undertaker Donald D. Hess carried an ” ambulance full of high school rooters" to Wayland where Nashville football fans nearly outnumbered the home-team crowd. This photo shows a Chrysler sedan bought by Hess in 1925 for use as an ambulance Donald, the |umor partner in Chas. T. Hess & Son furniture and undertaking, died suddenly in April 1932 following an attack of appendicitis. was very favorable according to the chart outlining what each class should rate. We Are Proud Mr. (Hale) Sackett, electri­ cian, carpenter, machinist, fire-builder and general utility man, is our efficient janitor for the Nashville school and has served in this capacity for six years. We seldom see him around the school house during school hours, but he has plen­ ty to do in his own quarters, keeping the right temperatures for the students and cleaning the lower halls. The school house is always clean and orderly through his efforts. About four o’clock we see him upstairs sweeping the various classrooms and halls so they will be ready for the next day. This year he has (also to) the cleaning and fire­ building in tjie- Home Economics house. He builds fires in the new"stove installed in Miss WpOd’s department. (1987 note: Here the writer refers to a house located adja­ cent to the school which was used as a home economics department presided over by Miss Olith Wood, later Mrs. Samual Hamilton, who became a longtime teacher in the local school system.) Saturdays, Mr. Sackett is working practically all day in the school house, dusting and washing the (black) boards, and there’s the fires to keep up so the furnace is always warm... The Nashville school will put him up against any (janitor) in state in regard to capability, efficiency, and the willingness to work. Debate Ends With No Decision The Senior civics class had a debate Oct. 12 on the ques­ tion, “Resolved that the Con­ stitution ofthe U.S. is a living document.” The teams lined up looked real promising with good fighting material on both sides, five boys competing with five girls. The chairman, Roger Sackett, opened the debate and introduced the respective speakers...The debate started off with a bang with Clair Greenfield as first speaker on the negative side. When at last all was over and the participants lay back in their chairs, confident of victory. Judge Smith arose, cleared his throat and rendered the decision that neither side made a point. Well, it was a good debate anyway and the speeches, tho not furthering the speakers’ causes, were entertaining to Continued on next page �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tu A Memories of the Past, cont. say the least. Y.M.C.A. Worker Address School An Interesting Discourse Is Given On Con­ ditions In Philippine Island Through the efforts of the local Hi-Y, Mr. Stanley Turner, Y.M.C.A. worker in the Philippines, was presented to the school for a short talk. Mr. Turner impressed upon our minds the impending war­ like attitude existing between China and Japan over Man­ churia, and although the seat of the trouble is thousands of miles away it is virtually at our back door. .A blow struck miles away is heard all over the world, space has shrunk, the American depression is felt very keenly in the Philip­ pine warehouses... Mr. Turner was transferred from China to the Philippines 16 years ago and has remained in charge there, except for oc­ casional leaves, ever since. When he first landed at the island upon which Manila is located, he found poverty and illiteracy...This collection of 7,000 islands located in the most strategic part of the Mace Pharmacy world, coveted by many coun­ tries. is said by many that “upon these lie the future of the world.” When taken over by the United States, the Philippines were told that the United States was taking them over to train them for self- day, October 27, 1987 — Page 5 government.

October 27, 1987 — Page 6 Accomplished Blacksmith makes Nashville his home by Shelly Sulser A man who has achieved notoriety many times over in the Lansing area for his talent has relocated his home and craft in Nashville where he has found serenity and a comfortable working environment. Jonathon Marshall is his own boss. He calls his business the J. Marshall com­ pany and he likes it. “I can’t think of anything I’d rather do,” says the husky blacksmith as he takes a break in his spacious and dimly lit backyard shop. “I like to work for myself. Sometimes it’s just work and drudgery and other times I get on a roll and work until one in the morning.” Living in Nashville is quite a contrast to the man who was born in Chicago and spent his childhood in Hartford, Conn, and Lansing. He has seen the world from varying perspec­ tives: as a parachutist in Italy while in the Army, through the handlebars of racing motorcycles in the mountains Jonathon Marshall spends nearly 60 hours each week listening to the loud echo of his hammer col­ liding with hot iron and dodging the lethal sparks to produce beautiful country style decorative pieces. of Italy, from behind the wheel of speeding ambulances and from the decks of fishing boats on the Great Lakes.

Karen enjoys making wreaths from natural vines and bushes; a craft often in demand in to­ day’s traditional country trends — much like the corn dryers, candle snuffers and untensil racks made by her husband. Karen calls her work “The Grapevine”, which also in­ volves filling orders for floral arrangements. “When we - lived in East Lansing, we used to drive around Nashville and Ver­ montville looking for rose hips, com stalks and bit­ tersweet. We’d get.stuff in the woods, fields and roadsides,” he says: “Nashville is a nice town. It has everything-a per­ son could need a laundromat, supermarket, a bank.” An injury sustained by Mar­ shall during Army manuevers in the 70’s forced his removal from parachuting assignments. The welding shop was his next stop. That’s where his present interest for blacksmithing was sparked. “In pursuit of my interest, business was good so I’m staying-with it,” he says. Marshall makes his living at what he does which demands that he spend the countless hours needed to fill large orders. ‘‘There’s a lot of blacksmiths,” he points out. “But not many pursue success. That’s a full time-thing. Many get involved in crafts, others are very good at what they do and make beautiful things but they don’t sell. You’ve got to be a crafts per­ son and a business person.” Marshall does not market his products through brochures or advertisements. He doesn’t even sell his wares locally. He depends on large, top level folk art shows often held on the east coast for his retail and wholesale business. “We don’t do what you call local business because there aren’t many areas that can support a business full time,” Continued on next page Start turning heads with a smashing new look!

Chicago. Nashville (TN) and Louisville. “Our clients arc both retail and wholesale — like shop owners and people building homes looking for country type interior designs.” he says. Although he produces his products himself with his own original designs. Marshall will not take custom orders and will not do demonstrations. "There’s no money in it," he explains. “We try to fill needs (of customers) out of our basic inventory which is more efficient economically.*' He added that being a businessman has much to do with the high demand for his products. “You have to shift from the everyday blacksmith at the forge to a salesman on the road.’* he notes. “You can’t have one without the other and still bring home the bacon.” Marshall said it can take him up to six months to fill orders obtained at the shows that he often attends with his wife. He uses a traditional type forge, supported by a large iron anvil and trip hammer. Many of his handmade items in his inventory include primitive type products that are a high priority with decorators today. They in­ clude herb drying racks, com dryers, fireplace pokers, primitive chandeliers and more. He especially enjoys making the fireplace pokers with animal heads, he said. “I don't copy things.’* he stressed. "I see something that gives me an idea and I make it in my own way."

The Lions took command early against the Broncos on Monday and handed them a 69-38 defeat.

Valley’s press gave them a quick 4-0 lead but Olivet came back to tie the score 4 times in the first quarter. Free-throws lifted the Eagles to the lead in the second quarter before the Lions took their biggest lead ofthe night 25-20 with 3:51 to play in the second period. With the score knotted at 27 in the early minutes of the third period, Forell hit a 3 pointer to give Valley a 30-27 margin.

Home Meals program helpful To the editor, Eaton County has an ex­ cellent program of Home Delivered Meals to shut-ins, aged couples, those living alone, those who are home­ bound and on special diets etc. It is impossible to calculate the great good that results from this co-ordinated effort. It is not only the nutritious food that sustains the body but the morale and spiritual uplift that comes when others care and take the time to call and make the delivery. A great many of our older citizens have been benefitted and blessed by this program. But none of this would be possible if it were not for those people who volunteer their time, effort and automobiles to make these deliveries. Last week at the regular monthly meeting of the Eaton County Board of Commis­ sioners (Oct. 21st) these volunteers were honored.

Vermontville news — OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK — I In a letter (October 13) a reader called Halloween the Devil’s holiday and a legal religion recognized by our government. This reader is very mistaken about Halloween. It is not a legal religious holiday, nor the Devil’s holiday. An Encyclopedia says, a holiday is a day of celebration in honor of an individual, or a religious or patriotic event. A few holidays in every country have been set aside as legal holidays, a day when all business can legally close. Seven legal holidays are now observed in the United States. Halloween is not one of them! Like Christmas and Easter, the festival of Halloween originated in a pagan celebra­ tion, even though its name derives from the Christian festival of All Hallows’ or All Saints’ Eve. It was introduced in the 7th century to com­ memorate all those saints and martyrs who had no special day to themselves and was held on May 13. In the 8th century All Hallows’ Day was moved to Nov. 1, to counteract the autumn pagan celebration held on that date. Oct. 31, the eve of Nov. 1, was the last night of the year in the ancient Celtic calendar and was celebrated as the end of the summer and its fruit­ fulness. It was a festival that the Celts of northern Europe marked with bonfires, to help the sun through the winter. Only since the late 18th and early 19th centuries has Hallo­ ween developed into a festive time for children, with costumes, lanterns and games. Halloween is what you teach your children about it. I asked my five children (ages 22 to 12) why we celebrate Halloween. I got many dif­ ferent answers. Not one ofmy children said a word about it being the devil’s day. So teach your children well. Trips to the library reference section with your children will help. Now that’s a book for thought. Flora Miller Vermontville number from all over the county. I was very pleased that my Commissioner District had the msot in atten­ dance. I was also appreciative of the fact that Vermontville led by far.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 116 - No. 15 — Tuesday, November 3, 1987 Vermontville man is linked to Barry County murder case Robert Lee Hyslop of Ver­ montville has been linked to the January, 1986 murder of Dowling resident Ricky Alan Goddard. Hyslop, 42, pleaded guilty in Barry County Circuit Court Wednesday to attempted per­ jury and conspiracy to obstruct justice in the trial of Goddard’s killer, Norman Woodmansee. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 6, 1988. Goddard, 32, was found dead in the kitchen of his home by his wife, Sharon Goddard, on Jan. 25, 1986. He had been shot once in the head with a shotgun. Woodmansee was convicted of first degree murder on June 27, 1986. He was sentenced to life in prison on the murder charge and 40 to 60 years for a conspiracy charge. Hyslop allegedly lied on the witness stand in Wood­ mansee’s trial in reference to a telephone conversation he had with murder suspect, George Zugel of Battle Creek. Zugel, 36, was arraigned in Barry County ’s 56th District Court Wednesday on first degree murder charges and on charges he conspired with Woodmansee to commit murder. During Woodmansee’s trial, Hyslop testified that Zugel had called him at home at 4:09 a.m. on the morning of Goddard’s murder to ask him to loan Zugel $400 for rent money. In court Wednesday, Hyslop testified that Zugel asked Hyslop during the phone conversation ifhe could borrow a gun. “He wanted to borrow a gun from me,” Hyslop said. “That’s what the whole con­ versation was about.” Hyslop said he and Zugel agreed later not to tell police about that part of the conversation. “We conspired not to tell the truth,” Hyslop said. “That’s what the call was about. It was brought up not to discuss the conversation (about the gun), just the rent. Zugel called about the gun, and I should have told police that.” Under questioning from Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming, Hyslop said he gave the gun to Woodmansee on the night of Goddard’s murder. Barry County Sheriff’s Department Detective Sgt. Ken DeMott told reporters that a 12 gauge shotgun was found last year in the Kalamazoo River in Battle Creek by a diver. Police believe the gun is connected with the Goddard murder. In a trial that captured the attention of southwest Michigan and resulted in the longest jury deliberation in the history of Barry County, Woodmansee was found guil­ ty on the two charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder. But the Barry County Sheriffs Department and the Michigan State Police have continued to investigate the case. “We’ve spent a lot of hours following leads and conduc­ ting investigations,” said Barry County Sheriff’s Department Detective Sgt. Ken DeMott. “Even with this arrest (Zugel), the investiga­ tion will not be closed.” DeMott declined to say if any further arrests were anticipated. In the case, which police originally alleged was a premeditated murder to col­ lect Goddard’s insurance money, Sharon Goddard and her former boyfriend, Richard S. Eckstein, were initially charged in the murder. But murder charges against them were dropped after a preliminary examination because the judge ruled there was not enough evidence to bind them over for trial. In December, Circuit Court Judge Richard M. Shuster denied an appeal of the dismissal of murder charges against Goddard and Ecks­ tein, saying he could not find any error on the part of the district court judge who ordered the charges dropped in March 1986. Still, Woodmansee was convicted of conspiracy with the two to murder Goddard. During the trial, the prosecu­ tion contended that Wood­ mansee was the hired “hit­ man” for the pair. He was to receive $3,000 for the killing. “The jury convicted Wood­ mansee, not only of murder, but also of conspiracy with (Sharon) Goddard and Ecks­ tein,” DeMott said. “We feel there are other people out there who haven’t been brought to justice.” Friends and family of slain Ricky Goddard, who have maintained that “justice has not been done’ ’ because ofthe dropped charges against Sharon Goddard and Ecks­ tein, have collected a fund of over $17,000 to pay for infor­ mation leading to the arrest or conviction of persons involv­ ed in the Goddard murder.

Sit through half of a hypnosis session offered by Maple Valley Community Education. Be hypnotized two times while you’re, there, and unless you’re convinced the seminar will work for you, you may have your money back. Registration is being taken by Maple Valley Community Education at (517) 852-9275. Self Psych Clinical Hypnotist David Rowe will conduct the seminars, which are being offered this semester by many community education programs. “N No smoker really wants to quit.” Rowe says. “Your conscious mind knows you SHOULD quit; but the subconscious mind really doesn’t care. This battle between the two parts of the mind is also what prevents overweight people from sticking to their duties. They KNOW what they should eat. They just don’t feel like doing it.” Rowe’s hypnosis is designed to get your subconscious mind to cooperate with your conscious mind’s desire for a habit change, so your feelings and desires will be in harmony. “Once you feel like doing what you already want to do success is inevitable.” Rowe says. Seminar participantants will be hypnotized four times dur­ ing the two-hour sessions and receive a cassette -tape for reinforcement of the hypnotic suggestions at home. The tape, which has subliminal suggestions, features con­ scious conditioning on one side for listening while doing other activities and hypnotic programming for listening while relaxing. The same seminars have been offered by American Lung affiliates in 74 cities and 11 states, the Texas Public Health Association in 15 cities, the National Kidney Foundation of Louisiana in 7 cities, and community educa­ tion programs in 92 cities in Michigan.

November 3, 1987 — Poge 4 'Banty' had a heart of gold (Note: The following ac­ count first appeared in this column on Feb. 10 1981.) Banty Cramer was a small man - he stood only five feet but his one inch tall diminutive size had nothing to do with the dimensions of his soul. Banty was a big-hearted man. His great sense of humor and immense compassion for his fellow man made him a giant among men. “Everybody liked him,” remembered Banty’s daughter, the late Rena Hosington, in a 1981 interview. “He was a greatjoker, and he enjoyed doing for other people.” Most folks remembered Banty as playing the part of a clown during Nashville’s annual Harvest Festivals. Fewer people knew of his role as a Good Samaritan during the terrible influenza epidemic of 1918-19, a global outbreak that occured just after World War I and which claimed 20 million lives - more than were lost in the conflict. “The flu lasted all winter, “recalled Rena. “A lot of people died here at that time.” Banty, often accompanied by his daughter, made daily rounds to call on Nashville’s afflicted families, disgregarding the personal risk. “We wore masks,;; recall­ ed Rena. “I never caught the flu, but I think Dad had a touch of it at the .end (of the epidemic), though he may have just been more tired and wore out than sick.” The two ministered to the needs oflocal flu victims - doing whatever needed to be His great sense of humor and boundless compassion for others made the diminutive Banty Cramer a giant among men.

Mallory, the author ofDress For Success, believes that “the way we dress has a remarkable impact on the peo­ ple we meet professionally or socially. Their first impres­ sions affect how they treat us. Therefore, selecting clothing that is appropriate and com­ pliments our figure type, is an important task.” The Eaton County homemakers are offering a program called “Ideal Silhouette” with speakers Joanne Schultink and Marlene Wamhoff, MSU Extension specialists from the depart­ ment of human environment and design, on Thursday, Nov. 12, at 9:30-11:30 a.m., at the First Baptist Church in Charlotte. “Ideal Silhouette” is a uni­ que figure analysis program that uses a computer to iden­ tify your own personal figure liabilities and assets and then selects styles that are just right for you. Where color analysis left off, Ideal Silhouette picks up, to help you plan your clothing wardrobe. As part of the program, everyone will be measured, their measurements entered into a computer and their own personal analysis will later be sent to them through the mail. The cost ofthis program is $1. Cooperative Extension Ser­ vice programs are open to all without regard to race, color, national origin, sex or handicap. Advance registration is re­ quired. Free babysitting is available. Call the Eaton Cooperative Extension Office at 372-5594 or 543-2310 to make your reservation. Please indicate ifyou will be needing the babysitting service.

More members needed for Barry County's MADD chapter A Hastings woman trying to begin a Mothers Against Driving Drunk chapter in Barry County says a minimum of 20 memberships are needed or the chapter will lose its charter. "You might think it it can't happen to you, but it can. I know. My husband left for work one morning and never came back. A drunk driver killed him," said Connie Wymer, whose husband, Donald, was killed Jan. 26 when a drunk driver hit his car head-on. "It could be one of your family or friends who is killed by a drunk driver next," she said. One out of every two people will be in an alcohol-related accident in their lifetime, Wymer said. And alcohol is a factor in over 50 percent of all fatal accidents, she added. "Do you want your children to grow up with these odds? I don't.

Nashville, Tuesday, November 3, 1987 __Page 9 M.V. Lions blast Comets 35*20 to qualify for state Class C regionals It took the unlikely com­ bination of a last minute field goal along with a stunning upset of an unbeaten team and Maple Valley’s grid season isn’t over yet. The Lions qualified for the state playoffs last Friday with a 35-20 conquest of Kalamazoo Christian. The win enabled Maple Valley to slip past Jonesville and Morenci into fourth place in the Class C Division I regional. “I’m little surprised, no, I’m probably very surprised” admitted Lion coach Guenther Mittelstaedt, whose team now draws the division’s top-rated team, Lansing Catholic Cen­ tral, in a pre-regional game Friday at 7:30 at Lansing Everett. * ‘We noticed two weeks ago that we were eighth in our region. We had a small talk then about the possibilities of making the playoffs and now we’re in.” The Lions are in because unbeaten Jonesville, ranked fourth in the region prior to Friday, was handled by Napoleon 34-0 while Moren­ ci, the fifth-rated team, lost on a field goal with 22 seconds to go in its game. But before the Lions wondered if their longshot playoff appearance would be transformed into reality, they first had to get past Kalamazoo Christian. That was handled when Lions jumped to a 22-8 halftime lead and never looked back in beating up the Comets. Jeff Fisher hit Richard Meade with a 26-yard scoring ST ^ffflfnffrnnninTiTnffnffnniTnTiTnffffnTnnnnnnnnnw Sports luiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinniiHiniiininiiiHunniinminiiimin strike in the first quarter and Mike Everett’s extra point made it 7-0. Christian took a brief lead with Todd Vanderlugt scored on as four-yard run with the two-point conversion making it 8-7. But the Lions roared back with two more scored before the half. Fisher hit Dale Dickinson with a pass for one score while Fisher scored on a one-yard run with 40 seconds left in the half for a 22-8 lead. Fisher then salted the game away with a one-yard run with only 47 seconds remaining in the third period. Scott Furlong’s kick upped the margin to 29-8. After Kalamazoo closed the gap to within 29-14, Doug Franklin went over from the one with 4:32 to go in the game for a 35-14 Lion lead. The game was a ground war with the Lions outrushing the Comets 281-224. Jared Carrigan led the Lions with 164 yards in 27 carries while Greg Flower added 101 yards in 16 attempts. The 281 rushing yards add­ ed to 54 more through the air on 3-of-5 passes left Mittelstaedt happy with his of­ fense, but not turning cart­ wheels over his defense. “We played very well of­ fensively and not so well defensively,” he said. “We had some trouble with their running attack.’’ Sean Bitgood and Flower led the Lion defense with 19 and 11 tackles respectively. With the regular season now history, the surprising Lions now turn their attentions to LCC, co-champions of the Capital Circuit. The Cougars are no strangers to the playoffs with a state title under tiieir belts in 1985 and another appearance in the 1986 tourney. “They’re a big team, a good team,” said Mittelstaedt. “We’re glad to be there.” HAIR STYLING for...

LSw'J SADD group growing stronger at Maple Valley High School by JoElla Miller Sherry Woodman In the last two years the Maple Valley Student Against Drunk Driving chapter has doubled in size. This year SADD has 70 members. The students are realizing what SADD is and are deciding it is important to help others say no to drinking and driving. The SADD group meets once a month in the auditorium and would greatly appreciate community in­ volvement. SADD would en­ joy working with the com­ munity and having the com­ munity help in fundraisers. The SADD advisers this year are Mrs. Hager and Mr. Reese. The SADD offices are: president Angie Thompson, vice president Amy Walker, secretary Amy Cooley, treasurer Jennifer Robotham and historian Angie Smith. The main goal this year is to reach as many students as possible. To do this SADD are holding fundraisers to raise money to have speakers come in and talk to the student body. One of the successful fun­ draisers this year was to sell candy bars which raised around $1000. SADD also put on this year’s fall homecom­ ing dance which was a success with 322 people attending.

Despite a lame leg, 77-yeafold Benedict was able to rescue Derek from suffocation after he was sucked beneath nearly 300 bushels of com in­ side a wagon as it was unloading into a wet bin last Wednesday evening. “It was pretty scary,” said Benedict Monday. He ex­ plained that he and his wife, Edith, were watching their two grandsons, Derek and Erik, while their mother was working that day. “They wanted to go to the bam with Grandpa,” said Edith. “I said, ‘you be real careful around that big machinery’-. But I never thought to tell them to be careful around the corn too. “They sat up on the edge of the wagon and they were kick­ ing their feet in the com a's it was going in the wet bin,” shg. said. “The bin was getting full so I went up to watch it,” added Harold, who was 20 feet high on a ladder when he realized something was wrong. “I was looking down and I didn’t know he (Derek) was in trouble until he started yell­ ing. He was hanging onto the side of the wagon,” said Harold, noting it was seven feet from the top to the bottom of the 325 bushel capacity wagon. Harold had been draining com from the bottom of the wagon into the wet bin. “J had maybe 40 bushel drained out. He (Derek) said later he was watching Erik and wasn’t paying attention. I got down the ladder as fast as I could. I hurt my leg a month or so ago. By the time I got down there and turned the crank, he was in (up) to his chest (in corn),” Harold recalled, “Shoot, I couldn’t pull him out no more than nothing. “Then I thought if I suck some of the corn out around him, maybe his feet would touch the bottom. I tried that a little bit but Erik started screaming because he saw Derek going down. So I shut it off right away and went to check. All I could see was the top of his head.” Harold explained that when the com began to go out beneath Derek, it caused the top layers to slide down over his head. ‘ ‘I got up there and pawed it away from his head,” he noted. Edith said her husband asked Derek ifhe could breath all right and he answered, “yes”. “He sent the younger boy to tell me to get our boy (son Brian) who was out in the field with the corn picker about a half mile away,” said Edith. “He was at the other end of the field so I went across the corn stalks and told Brian. He ran and got his pickup and as he went by the neighbors’, he hollered for him to come too.” Edith said when the two men (Roger Grasman and Brian) arrived, they shoveled to remove Derek from the com for nearly 20 minutes and still could not pull him out. “Finally they got a hold of his pants,” she said. Harold said Derek remain­ ed calm throughout the inci­ dent, and at one point even told his brother that he was all right. “I think if I’d fell off that crank, he’d have died,” noted Harold. He said the com con(See Vermontville, page 12) The Lion mascot was on hand to help root the gridders to victory. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 10, 1987 — Page 2 Maple’Valley among 111 schools attending SADD Convention Six Maple Valley High School students were among 600 Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD) members representing 111 schools in Michigan and Ontario that converged on Mackinac Island last month for the se­ cond annual leadership conference. The three-day convention was held to give members a chance to recommit and rededicate themselves to en­ ding the leading cause of teenage death and inury — drinking and driving. The conference provided 23 events and workshops suppor­ ting SADD’s three principals: not drinking and driving; not riding in a car where the diver has been drinking; helping friends to do the same. In addition, the conference gave local focus to the na­ tional challenge campaign to bring the student death toll of alcohol related incidents to undfer 1,000 this year. SADD members in atten­ dance from Maple Valley High School included: Amy Cooley, club secretary; Angie Thompson, president; Angie Smith, historian; Jennifer Robotham, treasurer and Scott Knoll along with faculty ad­ visor Judy Hager, assisted by Ardyce Robotham. Half of the $85 per person fee was supplied by the Maple Valley Chapter for its students, Hager said. A special tribute from Gov. James Blanchard and Senate Democratic Leader Art Miller, Jr. that was read at die conference noted that with 355 SADD Chapters in Michigan, the work of these students “will continue to have a huge impact on the quality oflife, or lack thereof, among Michigan teenagers and future adult leaders.” This year’s conference featured such well-known speakers as Dr. Gordon Blush of the Michigan Association of Children’s Alliances; Elizabeth Puleo, Miss Michigan 1987 and Bob Stromberg, poet, singer, entertainer and teller ofstories of life on the human side. The How can a multiple car family minimize insurance costs? No problem. Auto-Owners gives families with two or more cars a reduced insurance rate. That makes their exceptional auto coverage and claims service even more attractive.

Teams of students from each high school were provid­ ed with the information and tools to leave with an action plan for SADD activity for the 1987-88 school year. “We worked hard and we played hard”, said Larry Rotta, SADD Michigan Director, noting the full schedule of .education and social ac­ tivities. “The caliber of stu­ dent leadership represented at Academic vocational classes for adults to start at Maple Valley Second term adult education classes begin the week of Nov. 16 in Maple Valley.

It was an impromptu event in which an effigy of deposed German monarch Kaiser Wilhelm II was dragged up and down Main Street behind Leslie Adam’s dashing steed “Walter.” The horse, known by many in the community, had been bom almost totally black in color the year the war began but had turned white by the Commander and Battalion Major H. L. Rockwood was the driving force behind the organization of Nashville’s Home Guard and the formation of the First Battalion of Michigan State Troops. At the time of this achievement, Rockwell, a Spanish-American War veteran, was superintendent of Nashville school. time of the conflict’s conclu­ sion. (The complete story of the local Armistice celebra­ tion was told in the column on Nov. 10, 1981.) The end of the war meant the return of several local boys in service with the American Expeditionary Forces when the troops landed in France in 1917. Under a newly-enacted selective ser­ vice system, all men between the ages of 21 and 30 were re­ quired to register for the draft. Conclusion ofthe conflict also meant the end of Nashville’s Home Guard, an historic unit organized in 1917, in which a nuntber of local men got their first taste of military service. State military history was made in Nashville in May 1917, when the first company of the First Battalion of the Michigan State Troops was organized, as the culmination of the personal efforts of Ma­ jor H.L. Rockwood, then superintendent of Nashville schools. It was he who was responsible for consolidating into a battalion the MST com­ panies from Hastings, Nashville, Eaton Rapids and Charlotte. Nashville’s troop was the first company in that battalion and one ofthe first in the state ’to complete its organization. The idea of the MST was instituted in this area by Major Burkhart, representing the state and acting under orders of the War Preparedness Board. He mustered in the four companies in May 1917, making the trip from Hastings to Eaton Rapids by automobile, stopping at Nashville and Charlotte on the way. Nashville’s Company Six of the Michigan State Troops ("Home Guard ) is seen here about 1917-18 in maneuvers on Main Street. The local militia was formed to guard the homefront during World War I but the volunteers also served the community in other duties. Many of the men went on to active military service. Due to the interest and ef­ forts of Rockwood, Nashville’s group became the first company mustered in by Burkhart. Rockwood then pushed for the formation of the First Battalion, of which he later became commander. Nashville’s school superinten­ dent doubles as Battalion Ma­ jor Rockwood. The Home Guard was com­ prised of businessmen, farmers, factory workers and, in general, any man of the community who was not in the Army and wanted to volunteer. The troops trained on the old River Park athletic field west of Main Street, marching on the same grounds which in season hosted high school baseball and football games. First Lieutenant Julius Be­ ment, a jeweler and optician at the local Furniss drug store, was in charge of the training. “Bement could really drill us,” remembered the late Kenneth (Ted) Mix in a 1980 interview. “He was a Spanish-American War veteran.” Mix, who at 16 was a very young member of Company Six, also recalled trips to the Greggs Crossing Road area near the Thomapple River, where the troops practiced target shooting on a rifle range. The men were dressed in military government-issue uniforms. John Greene, a Nashville tailor who was also a member of the company, had the job of fitting the uniforms at his shop on the se­ cond floor of the Mallory block (brick building just south of Nashville Auto & Farm Supply). Due to this, Green’s quarters soon became the unofficial headquarters of the local MST Company Six. The MST companies took an active part in community life during World War I. They gave exhibition drills, took charge of Red Cross and other drives, conducted military funerals, did guard duty, and proved helpful in numerous other ways. “Their duties were to guard the village and do police duties when needed,” recall­ ed Adulph Douse, Jr., in a 1980 interview. His father was a member of the troop. The men also guarded Main Street and the Lentz Table factory, Nashville's largest in­ dustry in that era. “At times, where there were reports of German spies circulating around, they would do guard duty on roads leading in and out of town,” recalled Douse. “I remember my father being called out several times.” One instance he recalled was when the troops were sta­ tioned at the north side of the Thomapple River bridge at night, after word was received that some German spies might be going through Nashville. “A car coming down the hill from the north was ordered to halt, but it kept go­ ing,” said Douse. “As I remember, the guards fired up into the air but the car kept on going.” Meetings of the battalion were held at Thomapple Lake on Memorial Sunday, at Eaton Rapids on the Fourth of July, and at Charlotte during the Eaton County Fair. “These have been in­ teresting, instructive and highly complimentary to of­ ficers and men,” noted a 1918 MST publication. Asidee from each com­ pany’s contribution to com­ munity service, the MST training provided very beneficial background for many men who went on to join some branch ofthe armed forces. “In short, the value of the service rendered can hardly be estimated,” concluded the MST booklet “and the service to be rendered cannot be imagined.” At the time of that 1918 publication,- J. William Dollman was captain of Nashville’s Company Six. He had succeeded Captain Fred J. White, who had tendered his resignation in July, having made application for admis­ sion to an officers’ training school. Dollman had served as first lieutenant under White. When Dollman took charge of the company, Julius B. Bement was first lieutenant and Ernest L. Appelman was second lieutenant. Newt Trautman was quartermaster sergeant ofthe First Battalion. There were 41 privates listed in the 1918 MST booklet in its coverage of Nashville’s Com­ pany Six. Of the local unit, the writer said: “Its record from a military standpoint has been most commendable,'and it has been the means of instilling an intense feeling of patriotism in the community. Over half of the original members of the company are now in active service, a ma­ jority of them through volun­ tary enlistment, and they have benefited greatly by the train­ ing and experience derived from their connection with the State Troops.” The local MST company continued in existence throughout the World War I. The Armistice came in November 1918, when on the 11th the Grand Rapids Press in its last edition reported: “The world war ended at 6 o’clock this morning, Washington time (5 o’clock central time) with red revolu­ tion in Germany and with William Hohenzollern, former emperor, a fugitive from his native land.” In Nashville, after an un­ counted number of draggings up and down Main Street,” Kasier Bill’s” effigy was taken to the bridge at the Thomapple River and thrown in. The war “to make the world safe for democracy” was over. Sometime after that, Nashville’s historymaking MST Company Six was disbanded.

Each year the people of Nashville respond very generously to the needs of the community. This year I must ask you to dig a little deeper because the need is even greater than in 1986. Last year we served 70 families. This year, so far, I have received the names of 60 families who will need our help with food and toys. And the names will continue to come in until Christmas. You can help in three ways. One way is by giving to the food collection either in your local church or in the drop boxes around town. The second way is through the new toy program I am starting this year. You will be able to read more about this new program in next week's “Maple Valley News” or you can get the information at the Nashville Branch of the Hastings City Bank.The third way is to help is by contributing in the canisers The “We’re Going To The Play-Offs” Committee would like to thank the following donors for helping to make our Pep Rally Bonfire a big success ...

Tuesday, November 10, 1987 — Page 8 Founder of Vietnam Veterans group feels lucky by Kathleen Scott Harold Woodman says he's lucky; lucky that he lived through a year of combat in Vietnam and sustained only minor injuries. His buddies were not so fortunate. Woodman, a resident of Vermontville and native of St. Johns, says a lot of his high school friends never came home from Southeast Asia. He received two Purple Hearts after being hit with schrapnel, he says. One piece landed in his neck and one was lodged in his knee. Corpsmen removed the stray metal while he was out in the field and he never spent time in a hospital. His injuries, he says, were very minor. "I had a man four feet from me get hit with a mortar and I didn't get touched. That's why I say lucky," he says shaking his head. He was serving in the Marine Corps and left for Vietnam when his oldest child was one day old. He says he saw gore when he was in Vietnam, but he knows of others who saw more. "I can see the rice paddies, the jungle and the heat and I saw a lot of the gore that went along with it. But I talked to guys who were in a lot more combat and saw it a lot worse than I did - wrong place at the wrong time," he says. Woodman's lean build, short hair and stern face with a conservative arsenal of smiles are reminiscent of the marine of nearly 20 years ago. Clad in faded denims and a black "Vietnam" T-shirt, his clothes are indicative of the man inside - unpretentious and down to earth. He wears a bracelet engraved with the name of a Prisoner of War (POW), a brother-in-arms he never knew. His wife wears the bracelet of Ellis Austin, a soldier declared Missing in Woodman's map of Vietnam shows where local residents were stationed in the Southeast Asian country.

He didn't find out until later that he was not sent directly to the war because he was the sole surviving son of a disabled World War II veteran. After his own son was born, Woodman says "he became eligible for service in Vietnam and was shipped out. "They didn't waste any time," he adds. At the time, he was a 22-year-old sergeant - an "old man" compared to the 18 and 19-year-olds in his charge. "I was shocked when I got over there because I wasn't expecting kids that young," he says.

That's the way they looked. "I get over there and say, "gee, these kids are kids.l' God, I was a kid myself, 22. Imagine taking a kid graduating from high school and finding himself in Southeast Asia a month later or two months later. It'd be kinda hard on them." He contends this displacement robbed him and his fellow soldiers of good years. "The 60s were fantastic," he says. "There were parties and friendship; getting in your '57 Chevy and driving down Washington Avenue. I think the '60s robbed our generation out of a lot of time ofbeing young." He says the volunteers and draftees left as boys and came back men. "When they come home, they've grown up. To me,' that's the saddest part of the 60s. You just grow up and that's it or, in a lot of cases, they didn't grow at all. "It's like having a high school reunion, You come back looking for your buddies and they're not there," he explains. He fought in Danang with the B Company from the First Batallion, First Marine Division for one year and was offered a second year, but declined. "The only thought you had when you got over there was getting out and never going back. I got out ofthe Marine Corps because of that. They wanted to send me back for a second tour. I had two kids then and I just didn't think the risk was worth it, not after the first time." But he says he doesn't regret going to Vietnam. If he were 22 again and had the choice, he says he "wouldn't think twice" about going. "I think I'm a better person for it. It kind of settled me down some," he says lighting up a cigarette. He says he had some good times when he was there. "It was the friendship mostly. A hot meal once in a while. A bath once in a while. It's strange to describe," he says. "We had some good times. We didn't see combat every .day like they show in (the movie) Platoon."

FFA was founded in Kansas City in 1928 at the Old Baltimore Hotel, locatedjust a few blocks from the Municipal Auditorium where the convention currently resides. Since then, the gathering has grown from fewer than 50 attendants to the world’s largest annual youth gathering. During the convention, high school agriculture students will challenge themselves and honor FFA’s highest achievers and strongest supporters. Other highlights will in­ clude the naming of top FFA members in 29 agricultural proficiency areas and in ten national career skill competi­ tions, as well as the Agris­ cience Teacher of the Year award. Top chapter programs in safety, community develop­ ment and overall activities will also be recognized. Thursday evening at the convention, the Star Farmer and Star Agribusinessman of America, the two FFA members with the most outstanding production and agribusiness programs respec­ tively, will be announced. At the Friday afternoon session the highest degree awarded to FFA members, that of American Farmer, will be presented to 728 recipients. Those 728 members are the top two-thirds of one percent of the organization’s 416,000 members. “The convention is an ex­ cellent opportunity to motivate members and train them for their futures in the ever-changing agriculture in­ dustry,” said Kevin Eblen, national FFA president from Ceston, Iowa. “It is also an occasion for recognizing in­ dividual members, chapters, advisors and alumni for outstanding achievements.” The convention will, in­ troduce the national FFA theme for 1987-88, FFA— Agriculture’s New Spirit,” which emphasizes FFA’s con­ tribution to the agricultural industry. “There’s no doubt agriculture is facing some ma­ jor challenges today,” said Dr. Larry Case, national FFA advisor. “But if you’re look­ ing for the future of this in­ dustry, it will be found at the national FFA convention. These young people represent the new generation of leader­ ship that will carry American agriculture into the 21st century.” The National FFA Alumni Convention and the National Agricultural Career Show are scheduled in conjunction with the convention and are held in H.

The group marched in the Hastings SummerFest parade in late August, where, he says, they "had a really good reception” and were applauded by onlookers. Tomorrow, they will head for Middleville for the Veteran's Day parade at 6:45 p.m. Woodman says he's made a lot of telephone calls to Washington D.C. lately, trying to get rifles and fatigues for the chapter members when they march in parades. "Thanks to Sen. Levin," he says, "we got the fatigues." Woodman's wife "really makes the chapter go," he says. Theresa helps with the monthly newsletters and makes a lot of telephone calls while he is at work at the General Motors plant in Lansing. "Without her, we probably wouldn't have a chapter," he says. Woodman says a continuous battlie Vietnam veterans face is being misunderstood by the rest of America. He says the American public did not support the men while they were fighting in Southeast Asia and they did not welcome them home afterward. "That's definitely the strangest we went through, he contends. "The main thing about Vietnam veterans is we just want some understanding. We want to let the people know we're not against anything or anybody. We have our needs." Ifhe had an opportunity to give a messaage to America, he says he would probably say something like: "we're just like any other American. We were asked. We went. We came back. Don't judge the Vietnam veterans for what the politicians did. The politicians lost the war as far as I'm concerned." Vietnam Veterans remembered Continued from page 9 He didn't miss anything about Vietnam until after he'd been but of the Marines for about 10 years, when he began to miss the friendships. Woodman says that he's had his share of nightmare since he's been back from the war, but he is seldom bothered by them anymore. Sometimes, he says, when he can't sleep at night, he'll get up, fix a cup of coffee and page through photo albums from the war. He now has three children - Wallace, who's in the Army Reserve and soon to be Regular Army; Sherry, a junior at Maple Valley High School; and Mary, 8, who attends Maplewood Elementary. Like many veterans, he hates the sound of fireworks, so he doesn't care too much for the Fourth of July. And he doesn't go hunting anymore like he used to. And also like many Vietnam veterans, Woodman has had to deal with PTSD - post-stress syndrome or flashbacks. He says PTSD is a phenomenon suffered by Vietnam veterans, which is caused when memories from the war are rediscovered and awakened after years of slumber. Various factors coax those memories, he says. For some, it's seeing Vietnam War movies or being exposed to the "hype" as he calls the recent deluge of films, songs and books on the 'war rtow hitting the market. "The main problem is a lot of people have had it since (the war) and didn't know about it because it was never brought out," he explains. "They keep it inside for years and years and years and all of the sudden... " Some of the veterans kept quitting jobs and moving from place to place, he says. Or, they lacked motivation and no one knew why. But gradually, people are learning about the problem and learning to cope with it. For him, PTSD hit when he was watching a television program on "The Wall" the Vietnam War Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. "I watched it on television and all of the sudden it hit home. I didn't think about Vietnam that much when it was past," he reflects. "That darn wall brought it out. It did for a lot of guys. That triggered a lot of it." Psychologists and other professionals are learning more about the syndrome today, he says. "People never really gave it a thought. They knew they were having problems, but never really knew why. It was kind of strange. The Wall hit and all of the sudden everybody started having these problems. Now they know why they're having the problem. "It's all related back to the late '60s and early '70s. There's a lot of things in life you can forget and a lot of things you can't. They're buried in the back of your mind and you forget them. Then you see something dramatic like The Wall and all of the sudden everything isn't hidden anymore; it's there. And that's part of the syndrome. It's a real strange feeling." Woodman and his wife, Theresa, went to see a mobile replica of The Wall in Grand Rapids last year and it had the same emotional affect on him. But something positive came out of seeing the 58,000 names of friends and strangers engraved in the slabs. They started the Maple Valley chapter of the Veitnam Veterans of America. Men and women from throughout southwest Michigan - primarily from Barry and Eaton counties belong to the organization. "(The Vietnam chapter) is just something with people our own age getting together. If you got a guy who's feeling down, it's kind of hard for him to talk to a Korean War vet or a World War II vet. I guess that's the main reason we formed it. "It just seemed like it was time for a change. I knew there were a lot of Vietnam veterans in the area, but I couldn't get them to join the VFW," says Woodman, who was formerly commander of VFW Post 8260 in Nashville. Members hold special events in various communities within Barry and Eaton counties. Most recently, they offered free inspections of trick-or-treat candy and set up a spook house in Nashville which Woodman says was "packed" with participants. They've donated POW flags which have been flown in surrounding towns. And they interact with organizations like schools and fire departments. "There's a lot of stereotypes going around saying the Vietnam veterans are all for ourselves and not the other groups," he says, but his chapter is trying to change that. Now they are planning a food drive to benefit elderly citizens in the area, says Woodman who serves as president of the organization. A major on-going project for the group is raising funds for a Vietnam Memorial Veterans monument. When the $12,000 - $15,000 fixture is finished, it will stand in the Vermontville village park, a central location for both counties. On the stone will be engraved the names of 33 men from Barry and Eaton counties who were killed or declared missing in action in Vietnam. The chapter only knows of those 33 people now, but more names can be added, he says. Potential additions to the wall will first be verified before being added to the list. While the national chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America concentrates on such issues as VA benefits, Agent Orange and the search for POWs and MIAs, Woodman says the local chapter puts its energies toward serving the communites and each other. "We're more into helping the individual vets get what they deserve, and basically, HOMETOWN He says he doesn't have much faith in politicians and he doesn't follow politics much. "I've got no use for politics. Politicians are not for the people. They're for the money and the power," he says." That's just the way I believe. I saw too much of it in the '60s. I've seen it in the '70s. I see where it's down to Beruit and Lebanon and Grenada and what's it's doing now down in Central America - it's politics. Do we go to war and fight it or stay out of it? "I don't disagree with what the president is doing, I disagree with the people stepping on the president's toes." Woodman says he's more concerned with paying the bills and taking care of his family than following politics. The actions of politicians in the 1960s have left a bitter impact on him. "Vietnam was a chess game played by politicians," he says. "As far as I'm concerned, they made their money and got out." He says he views all veterans of the war with the same respect. "As far as I'm concerned, if you were drafted or if you enlisted, you had a job to do and you did it," he says. "If a person didn't get called, they didn't get called; they were lucky." But his feeling toward draft dodgers is far different. "The thing I'm against is the people who went to Canada. "(The government) let them come back and they're either living on welfare or taking jobs away from veterans. I'll just never understand how Carter ever (pardoned them). I don't think amnesty was the thing to do. I call it treason." Woodman knows Vietnam veterans who have been given six months to live because of exposure to Agent Orange, a pesticide used in Vietnam. And he Sale ends Nov. 28 YOUR FULL SERVICE says he knows there are American soldiers locked up somewhere in Southeast Asia who were captured during the war. But he says the government is not helping the veterans both here and in Vietnam. "It's a touchy issue - the POWs and MIAs. I know that this country worries so much about other people's problems," he says. "I'll never understand why we don't worry about our own problems. How you can go to Central America when we have kids in our own country starving to death it's something I've never understood and I never will." Despite a growing focus and interest on the Vietnam War and the soldiers who were in it, Woodman says he doesn't think Americans have a better understanding of the veterans or what they went through. "It didn't affect them. And that's not knocking down the American public, it's knocking down everywhere that this is going on. I mean if a World War II veteran tells me about World War II, that doesn't affect me. "I understand Vietnam, I was behind it," he says. "I think that's what burns up the Vietnam veterans the most is people weren't behind it. We don't ask them to understand it, we ask them to support it." He says he doesn't think the American public will ever understand.

Broadway, Hastings, Mich. 49058 R.O~ Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 116 - No. 17 — Tuesday, November 17, 1987 M.V. School Board election Monday to name recall replacement by Shelly Sulser Neighbors may clash over where the property lines are, why the stock market crashed Oct. 19, or whose dog did what in whose yard. Neighbors William Flower and John Krolik aren’t argu­ ing over those subjects nor are they arguing over who will be the next school board trustee. They’ll let their neighbors decide that. Krolik, of 5407 West Ver­ montville Hwy. and Flower of 4428 West Vermontville Hwy. are opponents in the Nov. 23 election to replace recalled Maple Valley Board of Education President Dale Ossenheimer. The two have lived four houses apart for 10 years but have never met. Krolik said: “I would hope I win and that whoever wins, does his best for the school district.” Flower said he will do his best. That might be why he decided to run. “I really couldn’t say why I’m running,” he admits. “Several people asked me and I thought about it for a while. I may not be qualified. There’s probably people out there more qualified than I am but I only see two guys signed up. I’m going to run the best cam­ paign I can and do the best I can if I’m elected.” Krolik feels people in the community should do their part to help provide a good education to children at Maple Valley. “And that’s the basic reason I’m running,” he said. Flower, whose informal campaign slogan is ‘pick a Flower’, does not like seeing turmoil in the school district and hopes unity will be the result of his addition to the table, if elected. The board and a group of citizens in the community had been at odds since last December after Superinten­ dent Carroll Wolffrequested a sick leave of absence due to stress. The board was accused of putting undue pressure on the school chief by handing down what some citizens said was a shockingly negative evaluation. The Sept. 22 ousting of Ossenheimer, ac­ cused of mishandling the evaluation, was a repercus­ sion of that dispute. “I haven’t teamed up with either side,” said Flower dur­ ing a break in school board ac­ tion Thursday. “I don’t even know everybody on the board that well. I’m not for turmoil. I don’t like it. I think if the students see the board in trumoil all the time, they’ll grow up in turmoil.” It hasn’t affected the students, however, Flower believes. “I think the school’s service is not only to the students but also to the community because that’s what these kids are go­ ing to be some day. Right now, they’re here in school and this is their own com­ munity, their town is right here.” The future is also Krolik’s concern. “When you look at educa­ tion, it’s the only basis for any future success kids may have when they leave the Maple Valley Schools,” he said in an interview last month. “So what I’d like to do is expand the options that are available. We’ve done okay but we can do better.” If he is elected to the board, Krolik would like to help in the search for a new superintendent in light of Wolff’s announced intent to retire June 30, 1988; to see a greater percentage of Maple Valley students going to col­ lege or trade schools follow­ ing graduation; and to see that other recommendations by the Citizens Advisory Committee are implemented. By profession, Krolik is a broker in the wholesale lumber business in Lansing, holding a business degree from Michigan State Univer­ sity. He and his wife, Cindy, John Krolik William Flower have four children, Lindsey, 9, Erica, 6, Andrew, 3 and Hilary, 1. The couple has liv­ ed in the Maple Valley School District for 15 years, Krolik said. Flower is currently employed as a Michigan State Police Detective with the fire marshall’s division. He and his wife, Kay, have three sons — Scott, 19, Greg, 16, and Brett, 12. They have lived in the district 10 years. Flower has been a member of the Eaton County Fair Board for four years; started the Eaton County 4-H Rodeo program; is a member of the State 4-H Rodeo Committee and is a member of the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters. The polls will be open from 7 a.m.. to 8 p.m. Monday. Nashville area voters can make their choice at the Kellogg Elementary School gymnasium (precinct one) while Vermontville residents can vote at Maplewood Elementary School’s library. Election workers at precinct one will be Ada Yaudes (chief inspector), Susan Butler, Loretta Pixley, Pat Wagner and Diane Heyboer. Manning precinct two will be chief in­ spector Sharon Stewart along with Janice Baker, Linda Ramey, Ruth Shipman and Karen Reid.

Parents say they remain proud of their young gridders. (More photos inside) School board members are preparing to search for a new superintendent in the Maple Valley School District as the June 30, 1988 retirement of 25-year-chief Carroll Wolff draws near. “Locating a superintendent is probably the most important job a school has,” Dr. Carl Brautigam of the Michigan School Boards Association told the board Thursday. . “Selecting a superintendent is a significantly more dif­ ficult task than it was 20 years ago. There are fewer and fewer wanting to be superintendents and fewer are qualified,” he said. “This is something boards need to be aware of.” Brautigam, who was superintendent of the Ver­ montville Schools in 1948 prior to consolidation with Nashville, said boards need to take the time to do the job right. He told the trustees the search should take 90 to 120 days; that they should enlist the help -of the community, staff and possibly outsiders. He said the board should decide what they are looking for in regards to skills and competency and that a process should be developed regar­ ding how to function as a whole. “And, select the best per­ son for the job whether black, white, male or female,” he noted. Brautigam said the MASB can provide the board with a search process and guide them along the way for a fee of about $2,500. “We’ll ask the board to rate their ideals in a superintendent saying things like ‘this would be great’ or ‘this we don’t think is important’,” Brautigam said. “Then I’ll draw from it what you desire in a superintendent.” Brautigam said he would then visit the district buildings and determine from all the employees what they feel they need. “Ninety-nine percent of the time, what those people see is what you do,” he said. “Then I’d attend every meeting where the people of the com­ munity make suggestions and I’d submit all that to you in a See School page 5 Vermontville to seek bids for new storage garage by Shelly Sulser Now that the Vermontville Council has sold its storage building, where will the Christmas lights spend the summer? They’ll stay in a new building if all goes accor­ ding to the plans of the trustees. The council has instructed its buildings and grounds committee to determine size and location for a new building before advertising for construction bids, said Village Clerk Sharon Stewart. “We’re hoping it will be 50 (feet) by 50 (feet),” said Village Maintenance Super­ visor Tony Wawiemia. “But that’s something we’ll have to discuss with the committee.” A recommendation regar­ ding specifications for the structure are expected to be See Vermontville page 14 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 17, 1987 — Page 2 Maple Valley grad spends vacation helping Honduran children week of her vacation working in a crowded, underequipped hospital in San Pedro Sula Maurene Viele, a medical student at Tufts University School of Medicine, spent a Christmas in the Village NASHVILLE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH Saturday, Nov. 28th 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Country Painting • China Painting • Christmas Angels • Dried Flowers • Cloth Items — Lunch Available — during the worst ofthe hot and humid Honduran weather. And she says she can’t wait to go back. Viele, 35, is a 1970 graduate of Maple Valley High School arid is the daughter of Charles and Louise Viele fo 220 Round Lake Rd., Vermontville. Viele, who plans to become a surgeon, cared for Hon­ duran children — some transported hundreds of miles -- who needed plastic surgery for bums, injuries or birth defects. In May, she helped a volunteer team of U.S. and Candian dictors and nurses perform more than 100 free operations in seven days, us­ ing the limited resources of a local Honduran hospital. “I’m not sure that people who have never seen how How can you get help fast when your car is smashed? No problem. . Count on the “no problem” people at Auto-Owners Insurance. They pride themselves on fast, fair claims service based on their strong common sense approach to settlements. Just ask your Auto-Owners agent about his “no problem” claims service or better yet, ask someone who’s had aclaim handled by Auto-Owners! Maurene Viele medicine is in these develop­ ing countries can really ap­ preciate how it is there,” she said. “We had to carry all our materials and equipment with us, even down to Tylenol. AU they can supply is the patients and the operating rooms. We were lucky to have three that were air-conditioned, because it’s so hot and humid there. The water goes off every afternoon at 2 p.m. or 3 p.m., so the surgeons were scrubb­ ing out of buckets.” The team was sponsored by Interplast, a non-profit organization that depends on volunteer activity and dona­ tions of medical supplies. They provide restorative surgery to children in Latin America, Africa and Asia who would otherwise receive no medical care. Plastic surgery to restore normal appearance and func- tion is available in the United States, event to very young children who may be born with common but easily cor­ rectable defects such as a harelip. But children born in remote areas of technological­ ly poor countries may be denied restorative surgery simply because >10 doctors or hospitals are available to pro­ vide such specialized care. A visisble birth defect can result in a life of isolation and pain. “We hear reports of kids not being allowed to go to school,” said Viele, a fourthyear students at Tufts’ medical school. “They are ostracized. Some children can be hidden from the communi­ ty because of their defects.” After arriving in San Pedro Sula and unpacking crates of medical equipment, the volunteers lost no time in ex­ amining their young patients. “On the first day, we had a huge clinic, and we saw 150 children in a day,” said Viele. “It was just an incredible scene, because the whole ex­ tended family comes, mom, dad, and all the relatives, and you have all these people in the clinic. There was no privacy, no separate examin­ ing rooms. We examined the children on tabletops ofdesks, all in the same room. “Many of them have defor­ mities, and many others have bum scars will contractures, so they can’t use an arm or leg.

Parents are always welcome to attend the class sessions. there are a lot of accidents,” she said. However, the parents I’ve seen are usually very good about taking care of their kids,” Viele added. “We saw parents sleeping on the floor underneath their children’s crib while their child was in the hospital so they would not be far away.” The demand for operations meant long hours for the group. Surgery began at 7 a.m. and continued until late in the evening. “It’s a challenge for physi­ cians, using basic skills in­ stead of technology,” she said. “It challenges you in an entirely different way. In San Pedro Sula, you can’t even get X-rays routinely. The film is not readily available; when it’s gone, it’s gone.” “When I started working with Interplast, I was impress­ ed by how much doctors could do under the worst condi­ tions,” said Viele, who in­ itially volunteered for the group as a medical technologist before entering Tuft’s medical school. “I could see how plastic surgery can turn these children’s lives around completely for the bet­ ter -- they can be accpeted by the community like any other child.” Viele has a bachelor of science degree from Michigan Technological University in medical technology and work­ ed at Pennock Hospital in Hastings as a lab technician before entering medical school.

The following excerpts have been gleaned from the Nashville Ancient History col­ umn published in The Nashville Newsfrom near the turn of the century into the 1930s;from the Turning Back the Pages feature of the 1940s-60s; andfrom various early issues ofThe News. 1873.. .8.nks are beginning to pay out specie at par, and soon silver quarters, dimes and half-dimes are expected to take the -place of “shin plasters.” 1874.. .A counterfeit onehundred-dollar bill was discovered at the post office Monday.

Griffith has put new hitching posts in front of his store. Our streets are well supplied with hitching places, but when so many teams are in town as there were last Saturday, we need still more. 1887.. .Those of our citizens who were in a hurry to get their mail Saturday morning were fortunate in one resfiect, as they had an opportunity ofwitnessing a prolonged and earnest, if not very scientific sparring match between one of our businessmen and a dapper little insurance agent. After about fifteen minutes of sparring, in which each of the participants got one in the mug, the contest was decided a draw. 1890.. .Tuesday night a little after 12 o’clock as Nightwatch Whitmire was making a trip through Water Alley, he came upon a man endeavoring to force his way into the hardware store of C.L. Glasgow, through the rear entrance to the ware room. Before getting very near the fellow Whitmire stumbled over some boards and the burglar heard the noise and beat a hasty retreat down the alley. Whitmire shot three times without effect and the fellow made good his escape. 1891.. .Ed VanAucker was out spearing last Sunday even­ ing and made what was un­ doubtedly the largest catch of the season. He got 22 pickerel, not one of which weighed under two pounds, besides a large number of other fish, about 250 pounds in all. 1899.. .The Choral Union is one of the most popular and fastest growing social groups in town, having attained a membership of more than 50.

Mrs. Young also is learning to run the machine and thus becomes Nashville’s first lady auto driver. 1903.. .George Graham, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Graham, received a severe cut on his head and probably only narrowly escaped death Monday at Buxton’s machine shop when his hand was caught in the main engine pulley and he was thrown violently across the room. 1904.. .The new bridge over Quaker Brook, on South Main Street, now is completed and the bills are all in.

An unidentified gentleman assembles barrels in what is believed to be an early photo of the Nashville Cooperage Company, which was located on Sherman Street. In November, 1905, that firm was turning out a big order of barrels for a Grand Rapids business. The contract was expected to keep the local plant busy until well past the holidays. In that era there was a wide need for wooden barrels and crates for railroad shippg and other uses,, and both were manufactured in ping Nashville by various concerns. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 17, 1987 — Page 5 Board prepares for superintendent search Continued from front page total packages, Brautigam written report.” said.

The board also agreed to spend up to $800 to cover half the cost to print a brochure containing information about the Maple Valley School District including data about the Community Education program. Community Education Coordinator Kay Hartzler said her department would pay the remaining half of the cost to print nearly 3,500 brochures, expected to reach not more than $1,700. In a presentation to the board, Hartzler noted a number of new programs are being implemented by Com­ munity Education such as a men’s basketball league, co­ ed volleyball and children’s floor hockey. She added com­ munity representatives are meeting with the building principals and making home calls to parents of elementary school children, people that have dropped out of high school and new families to ex­ plain what programs are available. Maplewood Elementary Principal Dave Doozan said he is working with Communi­ ty Education to provide special one time classes to be taught by members of the the two International Harvester chassis. Coaching recommendations were also approved. Carol Kraai will be the volunteer varsity volleyball coach and Bill Mason is the junior varisty volleyball coach.

PAID FOR BY: John Krolik For Maple Valley School Board Committee �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 17, 1987 — Page 6 Nashville needy can "wish upon a star by Shelly Sulser Pat Wagner is taking a new approach to an old idea this Christmas season to see that families in need not only receive toys for their children but quality gifts. ‘Wish Upon A. Star’ is Wagner’s original concept to provide less fortunate youngsters with something new to brighten their holiday. Wagner has been the coor­ dinator of the Community Christmas Basket Program in Nashville for nearly three years. After realizing the dilemma of attempting to come up with toys for every child’s age bracket, she revamped this year’s project. “It’s very difficult to meet all the age ranges,” explained Wagner, who along with hus­ band, Rev. Lynn Wagner, head the Nashville United Methodist Church. -“Last year, we had 10 to 12-yearold girls that we hardly had things for besides games and stuffed animals. It was not enough to meet the needs.” Past Christmas basket pro­ jects have asked members of the community to donate new or used toys that would later be divided among a number of needy families. “That’s why we started this the opposite side of the star — so we’ll know what they coinciding with a list ofnames need for Christmas. And it’s will tell Wagner which child not just toys,” she explained. the gift is for. Wagner said she is provided “This way, they will be get­ with a list of families who ting new toys instead of used may need help from the Barry — something that fits their age County Department of Social and development,” she said.

Wagner is depending on greater participation over past years, however. “I’m seeing more new names. There are more poor people with the economic situation the way it is. I’m seeing more families in need,” she said. Wagner expects to have close to 90 families to provide Christmas food and gift baskets to this year, nearly 30 more than last year. She has written to about 60 so far. Roughly half have responded. Money canisters around Nashville also aid the project, she said. After the food and the gifts are collected, Wagner and a number of volunteers will gather at the Methodist Church fellowship hall to sort and pack the boxes for each family requesting help, she said. Wagner is currently hop­ ing she will have enough in­ terested citizens to help with that task on Dec. 19, at 9 a.m. Later that day, the recipients can appear to take their care package home. Those who haven’t received letters or responded can call Wagner up to one week before Dec. 19, she said. “They have to ask for it. We won’t deliver to people who don’t ask because of possible liability,” she said. Most families, however, ap­ preciate the thoughtfulness. “I have a letter from a man who requested help again and said ‘thanks for the way you always help us at Christmas time. ’ One lady called me and said ‘I used to be on welfare. I’m off now but I know the struggle and I want to adopt a family this year.’ ” Wagner said the lady had heard of an “adopt-a-family” program in Hastings, and con­ tacted Steve Reid of Love, Inc., who referred her to Wagner. “She won’t know who she’s going to sponsor. She’ll just know the ages of the children and she will get their wishes and food. Her family — brothers and sisters — are all going to pitch in,” Wagner added. “They’re really the second ones to ask to do that now. It’s so exciting to hear someone say that,” Wagner said.

Working together for a better education from kindergarten through senior year will help our young people later-in the world of higher education and enable them to compete in the job market of their choice.

VOTE for WILLIAM FLOWER Paid for by The Committee to Elect William Flower for M.V. School Board �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 17, 1987 Page 8 Vermontville Girl Scout news Two Nashville Scouts named to 'Order of the Arrow' Jason Brown and Michael Kuempel were chosen by Nashville Boy Scout Troop 176 to become members of the Order of the Arrow. The two Scouts were elected by their troop earlier this year. They were “tapped out” while attending the West Michigan Shores Council Camp Gerber in July during a special ceremony. Then in September Jason and Mike returned to Camp Gerber and .went through the “Ordeals” which Inade them members of the Order of the Arrow. The Order of the Arrow is a service organization within Boy Scouts. It emphasizes cheerful service in the camp­ ing part ofthe scout program. •The scouts in the Order elect their own program and carry out service projects under their own leaderships. Adults act as advisors, but do not run the Order of the Arrow lodge. A scout is chosen by the boys in his troop to become a member. 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 scoutmaster approval certifying to the scout’^ spirit, his adherence to the scput oath and law and participation in troop ac­ tivities. A scout must have 15 days and nights of camping within two years prior to election. Jason serves Troop 176 as assistant senior patrol leader and has been in the troop for 314 years. Mike is the patrol leader for the Viking Patrol and has been in the troop for 114 years.

Lions grid season 12-0 Lion gridder Greg Flower (42) looks for room during Maple Valley's clash with Lansing Catholic Central at Hillsdale College. The clock struck midnight and the glass slipper didn’t fit. Maple Valley’s Cinderellalike trek through the state playoffs finished with a sad ending last Friday as powerful Lansing Catholic Central whitewashed the Lions 12-0 at Muddy Waters Field in Hillsdale. The Cougars (10-1) polish­ ed off Maple Valley with first and third quarter touchdowns in advancing to this Satur­ day’s Class C Region I semi­ final against unbeaten ErieMason, which shocked Detroit Country Day Saturday night. The loss ends Maple. Valley’s season at 8-3. Lion coach Guenther Mittelstaedt was impressed with the Cougars, which suffered only a one-point loss to Mason this season. “They were good — big, strong and quick,” said Mittelstaedt. “I thought we played well defensively. As far as effort, I thought we gave 100 percent. But we did have trouble with them.” The Cougars opened the TTwnTnnnTTTnwnnTTTTnnfflTTTnnTTTTTTiTnnTTnTnffTn^ Sports it inn mi 11 ii in i in mi ii mi .................... a game, and the first one to go all the way to the regional finals,” he said. “We wanted to go further but we just weren’t able to.” The Cougars used a quick and punishing defense to hold the Lions to a net 51 yards rushing. The team completed only 4-of-13 passes for 50 yards and were credited with only four first downs. Greg Flower led the rushers with 80 yards in 12 carries while Jared Carrigan caught three of the passes for 22 yards. Lansing Catholic Central, meanwhile, was moving the ball, but not scoring any points. The Cougars finished with 18 first downs and 329 total yards including 272 on the ground. Flower led the defense with 16 tackles. Dan Kellogg add­ ed 13, Sean Bitgood 12 and Matt Ewing 11. scoring at the 6:26 mark ofthe first quarter when they pieced together a 64-yard, 11-play drive which resulted in a fouryard run by Mario Villarreal. LCC added all it needed at the 3:47 mark of the third period when Marty Castellon climaxed an eight-play, 71-yard drive with a two-yard dive. Maple Valley’s best chances to score came in the third and fourth quarters when the Lions drove to the 18 before a sack and an in­ complete pass killed one drive. In the third quarter the Lions drove to the LCC 35 before losing the ball on downs. Mittelstaedt said his team was philosophical in accepting the defeat. “The way we look at it is that we were the first Maple Valley team to qualify for the playoffs, the first team to win Adults can work for diploma during second term classes The Lions recover a Lansing Catholic fumble during their 12-0 shutout in regional action Friday.

Those in favor of transferring the ac­ count were Joe Ann Nehmer and Lana Oster and those op­ posed were Russ Bennett, Linda Ramey and Village President Sue Villanueva. There were no objections by the council to a request made by Russ and Marjorie Bennett to open an elderly care facility in their Third Street home, said Stewart.

Of the time he has spent working with 4-H, Athletic Boosters, etc., you know he is very interested in the young adults of our community.

Sincerely, Wayne Cogswell Some landscape plans are more trouble than they're worth By Allen P. Krizek, County Extension Director Some common landscape plants are, for one reason or another, usually much more trouble than they’re worth. Curt Peterson, Extension horticulture specialist at Michigan State University, says he can’t recommend any of the following plants for residential planting because they require an above average amount of pest control and care: •Boxelder. This weakwooded soft maple provides quick shade but also plays host to hordes of boxelder bugs. The tree is very prone to damage by wind and ice storms. It produces large quantities of seeds, and seedl­ ings become persistent weeds. As an alternative, Peterson suggests planting red maple. • Russian Olive. This silvery gray foliage is appeal­ ing, but Russian olive is very susceptible to canker and Verticillium wilt and doesn’t last long in the landscape. Other plants to consider include golden raintree, amur maple and Chinese Kousa dogwood. Though none offers the Rus­ sian olive’s silvery foliage, each is a small tree with at­ tractive features in the landscape. • Poplars. Poplars in general are fast-growing, weak-wooded, short-lived trees that drop leaves and branches because of aphids, borers, cankers, galls, leaf blisters and spots, powdery mildew, rusts and scales. Bet­ ter trees for the landscape in­ clude Marshall’s seedless green ash and Bloodgood London plantree. • Purple-leaf plum. This small ornamental tree is priz­ ed for its reddish purple foliage. Unfortunately, it’s also the target for numerous insects and diseases and, as a result, rarely survives long in the landscape. Recommended alternatives include royal pur­ ple smoketree and Japanese maple. • Japanese or multiflora rose. This is probably the rose that the evil witch caused to grow around the castle where Sleeping Beauty lay waiting for her handsome prince. It’s an aggressive, thicket­ forming, impenetrable bram­ ble that tends to move in and take over. If found in the land­ scape, it should be eradicated while it’s still small. More manageable substitutes for multiflora rose include old garden, shrub or species roses. Only a few nurseries grow these types. • Willow. Willow has more than its share of pests, including twig blight, crown gall, various cankers, borers, leaf spots, powdery mildew, scales, aphids, imported willow leaf beetle and galls. It’s a fast-growing but weakwooded tree and very easily damaged by ice or wind storms. Even in good weather, it’s constantly drop­ ping leaves and twigs. If you like the weeping habit of the willow, plant instead weeping cherry, weeping white pine or weeping European beech. • European mountain ash. This small tree with its color­ ful fruit is often the target of scale insects, mountain ash sawfly, %cab, cankers and borers, which weaken the tree so fireblight can finish it off. Better trees for the landscape include disease-resistant crabapples. • Common lilac. Fragrant blossoms in spring are more than overshadowed by the plant’s tendency toward powdery mildew, scale insects, borers and bacterial blight. It also requires regular pruning to control height and suckering. Plant Preston lilac instead. • Siberian elm. Plant this tree if you want a fast­ growing, brittle tree that’s susceptible to storm damage and annual infestations of elm leaf beetles, which turn the dark green foilage brown with their feeding in early summer. The roots are also very good at seeking out water and sewer pipes and septic tanks. Alter­ natives to Siberian elm in­ clude lacebark or Chinese elm. “In putting together this list, we’re not saying that you should never plant these plants,” Peterson explained. “But we are saying that you ought to know what you’re getting into with them. In most cases, keeping them healthy will mean spending time and money on cultural practices like pruning and pest control. And often, you’ll end up replacing them every few years anyway.” The alternatives recom­ mended here, on the other hand, tend to have fewer pro­ blems and require less maintenance and so give bet­ ter overall satisfaction in the landscape. Antifreeze can kill, beware! Antifreeze waste products and spillage from cleaning and winterizing radiators are ex­ tremely dangerous to children, pets and livestock. Most commercial antifreeze preparations contain ethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol has a sweet taste, so children, pets and livestock will readily drink both the concentrated and diluted solutions. Two tablespoons of ethylene glycol (antifreeze) may kill a child, a 25-pound dog, or six five- pound cats. Clincal signs of acute tox­ icosis are uncoordinated movements, convulsions, vomiting, coma and death. If an animal survives the acute poisoning without treatment, death may ensue in 5 to 8 days from kidney damage and uremia. If antifreeze poison­ ing is suspected, professional medical assistance should be sought immediately. Early treatment is necessary to pre­ vent death. BOBBIE’S 230 N.

A “happening” being something very special for those who were involved in the football team, the band or the fans in attendance. While we did not win this game with Lansing Catholic Central, it was because of the Maple Valley team effort the Lansing school knew they had been pushed to the limits. The band at pre-game and half-time put on a show se­ cond to no-one for a class C school and possibly any size school. They were outstan­ ding and have been invited back to Hillsdale in the fall of ’88 to entertain at a Hillsdale College game. Lastly, the fan support was beyond belief be it students, parents, or interested and supportive people to Maple Valley. This was a showcase evening for the Maple Valley Schools and the Maple Valley Community. For those readers who were there you know what I mean and those who were unable to attend, you missed a great night. Congratulations to everyone for their part of this special time. With this the start of the holiday season it gives us something extra special to be thankful for. We hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving holiday. Vermontville, First Con­ gregational Church, 110 S.

Back in the late 1970s when lection of diaries kept by longtime Nashville village we first started this column engineer Frank Russell that and often called on Mr. now is part ofthe local history Staup's fantastic recall of section at Putnam Public Nashville history, he loaned us the Russell diaries to allow Library. The books were given to the us to prepare a transcript that library by the family of the has proved to be a valuable late Vem Staup, a longtime reference tool in preparing Weather and travel conditions, including the first day of cutter or bob sleigh traffic each season, was noted by Russell in his daily diary entries. He also listed pertinent facts about his tasks and other village work; recorded the time of local fires; commented on the activities of his neighbors; and generally kept track of local deaths. Seen in this early-1900s picture taken at the old grist mill are Lena and Martha Kyser and their brother Ed (Kane), whose parents, the Frederic Kysers, owned the business in that era. Frank Russell gave up his youthful dreams of becoming a railroad engineer, and at age nearly 37 became Nashville's village engineer in 1907, after he was called home from North Dakota to care for his recently widowed mother. He was still employed by the villag on "sort of a pension" when he died in 1952 at age 83. Six years earlier he had received a prestigious state award for maintaining Nashville's safe water supply for more than a quarter-century. In his spare time Russelll loved to read Police Gazette, and was recognized as the best filer and setter of saws in this part of the country. Memories of the Past. Russell’s succinct diary en­ tries reflect life in Nashville of his era. He made daily weather notations; com­ mented on traffic and road conditions; noted production oflocal garden crops, the con­ struction of new homes and other buildings in the village; kept track of fires and other local tragedies (even down to whose pet dog or cat had died); and offered occasional comments on community social events and, sometimes, noteworthy local tiffs. When Russell was hired on April 10, 1907, by the village of Nashville to run the two steam pumps in the water­ works building, he tackled the job with a rare dedication. He moved a bed in alongside the machine and slept in those quarters for the next 29 years, pampering the old pumps to assure Nashville a dependable public water supply. In addi­ tion, he was responsible for installing water services, reading meters and collecting water rental fees. He also en­ joyed mowing the village parks, and planted “posies” here and there to brighten the scene. In previous columns we have featured various portions of the Russell diaries. Today, we look at November, commencing with the year 1908. We have added parentheical comments in places where Russell’s concise entries seemed to warrant further explanation. The heart of Frank Russell's world was this 1891 pump house in what now is Putnam Park. Note curtains and flower box at window; homey touches were add­ ed by Russell who slept on a cot alongside pumps to assure Nashville's water supply and to sound fire alarms on coal-fired boiler. Coal was stored in wooden shanty at rear; smokestack seems to dwarf the standpipe (background), which held 85,000 gallons of river water. One could look at but not touch the machinery which Frank kept brightly polished. His collection of pin-ups surround the pumps. 20—Billie H eckathorn’s funeral this afternoon. 29—(Lew) Wellman’s house caught fire from chimney burning out.

SALLY NOLEN �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 24, 1987 — Page 6 Area students develop job skills in cooperative education programs Cooperative education pro­ grams in Michigan provide over 24,000 students the op­ portunity to work in a real job situation in business and industry. Through Eaton Intermediate School District students from Eaton County enhance their employability and develop skills for future careers in cooperative educa­ tion programs. According to Claire Vlasin, EISD Placement Specialist, “these programs build part­ nerships in the community between schools and businesses that lead to a welleducated and technically prepared work force.” Cooperative education also benefits employers through reduced recruitment and train­ ing costs, the ability to adapt to local labor market needs and the satisfaction of helping educate our young people. November has been declared Cooperative Educa­ tion Month in the State of Michigan by Governor Blan­ chard. The Governor urges the recognition of the “many contributions made by cooperative education pro­ grams in Michigan”. The Eaton ISD will be recognizing a number of outstanding students involved in Eaton Cooperative Educa­ tion programs. Watch for the students as they gain skills to be tomorrow's work force. One is Jody Landes. Jody says it was “herex- perience in the Home Con­ struction class offered by Eaton Intermediate School District and her desire to find a job,” that led her to her Cooperative Extension job at Fulton Lumber in Charlotte. Jody also said, ‘‘Bob Weiland, EISD Placement Specialist was most helpful to her in finding her work ex­ perience.” According to Jody “I really enjoy my job. I like waiting on customers and the feeling I have helped them out. The Fulton’s and other employees have really taught me a lot at the “Big Red Sh­ ed.” Everyday I learn more and more new things.” As a senior at Maple Valley High School Jody’s’ immediate goals are graduating and do­ ing a good job at Fulton Lumber. Jody is enrolled in the Building Trades Program at the Southridge Vocational Center which is taught by Jim Green and Rod McMicheal. Jody Landes, a senior at Maple Valley, has benefited from the co-op program, (photo supplied) Proud of iiiiiiiiiiir iiiiiiiiiiiiiimTnnTTTnnnTnnnTnnTnTnrnnnTiTff?Fi Thanksgiving a Special Time for Thoughts of Family and Friends.

The original questionnaire was sent to the state council of the Vietnam veterans of Michigan in June to be evaluated by the veterans in attendance. These men were asked to fill out the original questionnaire and make any suggestions. There are still some questions on the ques­ tionnaire that may seem very' personal to the veteran filling out the form, but there is a purpose for these questions. For instance, the form ask­ ed how long individuals have been on the same job. Agent Orange has been suspected of New books ready causing miscarriages in the wives of Vietnam veterans.

With his characteristic wit and charm, Willard introduces us to-all kinds of Americans, the regular folks he meets on his many travels and remote broadcasts around the coun­ try. One is Tommy Clack, a Vietnam War veteran and tri­ ple amputee. His feelings about the war, his ability to handle his job and family life as anyone else would and his belief that most Vietnam veterans are making positive contributions to their com­ munities, make interesting reading. Others include the original Bozo the Clown, a brave young girl who over­ came leukemia, an innovative small-town mayor and a few of the 100-plus set that he features on the “Today” show. On Tuesday, Oct. 20, The Agent Orange commission of Michigan mailed the first phase of questionnaires for agent orange to Vietnam veterans in the state of Michigan. The Agent Orange Commission was formed as the first step to inact legislation that was passed last May. The legislation allows for a study of agent orange affects on Vietnam veterans. It further allows for law suits for com­ pensation if there is sufficient evidence to warrant that compensation. This legislation was backed wholeheartedly by Vietnam veterans across the state. The at were due to Agent Orange, not the lack of proper health care because of work history. This same reasoning is behind leaving in the question concer­ ning income. It is very important that everyone who receives a form fills it out and returns it to the commission as soon as possi­ ble. The commission was allocated $150,000 for the study phase of this project. After the study is completed the next step will be to test certain veterans. The machine used to test the veterans is very complex and can only test 20 veterans a week. Because of this, only 500 veterans each year will be able to be tested. This machine will cost the commission S300.000. The questionnaires returned by the Vietnam veterans will be compared to veterans that were in the ser­ vice during the same period but did not serve in Vietnam. This will hopefully give the study more credence.

It looked like a sure victory for the Lions in the first half as they raced to a lead that was at 12 points. But Valley hit only 6 of 15 from the charity stripe and missed the opportunity to bury their guests. The second half was a com­ pletely different game as the Panthers kept chipping away at the lead.

The Lions had little time to console themselves before district play began for them on Friday. Their 59-42 win was the third ofthe season over the Olivet Eagles. The Lions got off to a slow start falling behind 11-6 at the end of the first quarter. Free throws were not the difference in this game but' the Lions helped themselves by hitting 21 of 26 and senior forward Kim Bahs who hit 10 of 12 for the night used two of them to tie the game at 12.

The Lions team then took control of the game and scored the next 10 points tieing the game on two steals by Deanna Hagon and going ahead on a bucket by Kim Bahs, 26-24. The Lions continued to build on the lead in the second half coasting to the win. Leading all scorers was Kim Bahs season high 18 points, Sheri Forell added 13; Deanna Hagon, 10; Karris True, 6; Kelly Hoefler, 4; Kristen Kraai, Angie Bahs, Rhonda Steinbrecher 2 points each.

Only once has Forell been held under 10 points this season, against league­ champion Pennfield. “It’s been about what I ex­ pected,” said Forell of her career. “I’ve accomplished most of my goals.” Her on-court performances are but a fraction of her con­ tribution to Maple Valley High Schobl. She is an outstanding baton twirler for the high school band, a threeyear letterwinner in volleyball, a two-year starter in softball, and was homecoming queen this fall.

Ver­ montville Hwy., claimed 245 votes in Nashville’s first precinct to Krolik’s 168 votes of support, while Vermont­ ville showed a count of 188 for Flower and 101 for Krplik. Two Nashville write­ in votes were cast for Terrill Powers, who had circulated nominating petitions but did not gather enough valid signatures. With over 700 voting, the turnout was lower than that of the Sept. 22 election to recall former board president Dale Ossenheimer, when over 1,000 citizens voted. Ossenheimer was accused of mishandling a December 1986 board evaluation of Superintendent Caroil Wolff.

IINashville which left him and t another passenger severely burned, Nashville police said. Dead is Gregg Bumford, 25, .of 48416 E. Main St., Vermontville. Another passenger, 15-year-old Sheila Allen of 124 S. Main St., Nashville, is in critical condition in the burn unit of Bron­ son Hospital in Kalamazoo. Hospital officials report Allen sustained third degree burns to 70 percent of her body. Also injured in the 9:30 p.m. accident was Robert Lloyd Oukrust, 23, of Vermontville, the driver. He was taken to Pennock Hospital in Hastings, where he was treated for mild whiplash and cuts to the face. He was later released. The fourth person in the crash, which occured in the ,800 block of Sherman Street, was Jamie Steortz, 18, of 310 Middle St:, Nashville. She was treated at Pennock .Hospital for a broken ankle and released. Nashville Police Chief Gene Koetje said Oukrust’s pickup truck left the street, crashed into an 18-inch tree and burst into flames. The tree was only three to four feet off the roadway, he said. “Oukrust and Steortz were able to get out, but the other two were not able to get out until after the fire was extinguished,” Koetje said. Koetje would not speculate on possible causes of the accident, other than to say that speed was a factor. He said the investigatibn will continue and that charges may be filed as a result of the accident. “We were not able to get skid marks as far as braking action (on the roadway),” he said, “but we were able to follow the path of the vehicle.” He said the pickup truck did not travel long after it left the road. Koetje said the foursome had been on Main Street before they got onto Sherman Street, but he did not know where they were had been or where they were going.Police at the accident site included Nashville officer Walter Pincumbe, Deputy Robert Abendroth of the Barry County Sheriff’s Department and Trooper Kenneth Langford of the Michigan State Police, Hastings Post. “Nashville ambulance and fire departments responded very quickly to get these peo­ ple out,” Koetje added. “We’re fortunate here that CRASH, continued page 2 Police officials say this truck was traveling at a high rate of speed when it left Sherman Street and struck a tree. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, December 1, 1987 __Page 2 Area man dies in Friday accident Continued from front page they responded so quickly.” Bupifqpd was pronounced dead at Bronson Methodist Hospital Saturday at 4:41 p.m. Services are scheduled for 3 p.m. today at the Vogt Chapel Wren Funeral Home in Nashville with the Rev.

This head you unconsciously look­ ed around for a white horse, and I guess every animal of that color in the township was hitched in town on the day the lady arrived. If any were missing, Barney Brooks made up for it by driving his drove of cream-tinted wild western horses down Main Street. It was the sale of these horses that brought the crowd. Bronco-busting and biscuit­ making were the order of the day. The men folks got a kick out ofthe horses; the women got a kick out of the biscuits - did you ever know of a woman praising another woman’s cooking? ...To show her heart and baking powder were in the right place, the super-blond baked a tin of delectable tea biscuits for the M. E. Ladies’ Aid supper which was to take place that evening. Now lots of’the “boys” around town admired her tresses, and to prove they were the longest capillary filaments that ever electrified a tired business man, Charley Putnam pulled one of the red hairs to its fullest length out of one of the Everybody uses them and have for years. biscuits that he had started in to devour at the Ladies’ Aid They are simple, reliable, safe and efficient, supper. and bring you a lot of comfort. Heat up NEW PERFECTION Latest Style New Process Oil Cook instantly and are clean and odorless. C. L. Glasgow This oil-fired cooking stove, featured in a May 1926 ad in The Nashville News, no doubt was a vast improvement over the "Quick Meal” gasoline range which brought the first lady demonstrator to town some 40 years earlier. The shapely visitor with long red hair caught the eye of several men around town; the tresses provided a surprise ending. The appear- ance of countless white horses on Nashville's Main Street at the same time as the red-head was just coincidence, decided Clyde W. Francis. "Bronco­ busting and biscuit-making were the order of the day." FROM THE NASHVILLE NEWS, MAY 31, 1928 Every able-bodied man was a fire-fighter, and there were about as many bosses as fighters. A conflagration always appeared more spec­ tacular at night to me than one occurring in the daytime. The fire in the old frame Methodist Church was a daytime event. A few people said the wrath of the Almighty was visited upon this church because the church board had allowed a political mass meeting to be Before Nashville's fire department was officially organized in 1882, "Every able bodied man was a fire fighter, and there were about as many bosses as fighters," recalled Clyde W. Francis in a 1928 piece in The Nashville News. After organization of the department, officers were elected to lead the volunteers. In this 1920s photo, the NFD poses on North Main St. in front of the old village hall, a building which first served as the Methodist Church. Damaged by an 1880 fire at its original site on Washington St., it was moved for use as a town hall. "Forr blocks around, every tin and wooden receptacle that could hold water was dragged out. Then tne crowd came, came," remembered Clyde Francis in recounting the Methodist Church fire. This photo of spectators watching volunteers battle a house blaze was taken in the Ionia County village of Saranac, circa-1910. Francis recalled the frenzied pace of neighbors trying to save the Methodist Church furnishings at the Nashville fire. In this scene a piece of furniture appears to stand on the lawn just left of the utility pole at center. held in it. Even as a youngster, I didn’t believe it. For if this were true, why didn’t the Lord cause the building to be burned to the ground instead of smoking it up a little? In His omniscency He was aware that the building would later be used as a town hall where all kinds of meetings would be held, in­ cluding an occasional poker game in the gallery. No siree, I never believed it. In those palmy days when a person departed from this life, a church bell was tolled as many times as the deceased was years old. There hadn’t been a daylight fire in quite a spell, and when this fire was announced by the ringing of »the bell in the structure, the tones sounded so funeral that ‘ everybody wondered who was dead. Soon the neighbors in the vicinity of the church saw smoke issuing, and then things started. For blocks around, every tin and wooden receptable that could hold water was dragged out. Then came the crowd. Jack Brady and Ed Slater lugged out the biggest thing they could carry and set it over the fence on John Smith’s lawn It was the pulpit. I can venture to say that neither of them knew what it was, but that didn’t matter. If a life had been at stake, either one of these fellows would have risked his own life to have saved another. Than Bige Flint came stag­ gering along under a heavy load of Sunday School library books; but when E. R. White came trotting out with a con­ tribution box in his hand, such fellows as L. J. Wheeler com­ menced digging down in their pockets from force of habit. It wasn’t long before so many worldly people were trying to push their way into the church that it was utterly impossible to carry any more things out. It was at this junc­ ture that Sam Hartford seized with a bright idea. Requisi­ tioning an axe from one of the neighbors, he sneaked around to the back of the church. As an axe-man, Sam was a good painter, but he managed to chop a hole about a foot square in the pulpit end of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Thrusting his head through the aperture he commanded those inside to hand him out the church organ. It would be easier for a Camel to get a billboard endorsement from the anti­ cigarette society than it would have been to have passed out the seven-foot Estey organ through that hole. ...The most inebriated fire I ever witnessed was the one that played around Barney Brooks’ fruit evaporator plant. The flames got polluted on the hard cider that was squirted on them from the large vats. (1987 note: Firemen had resorted to using apple vinegar stored in Brooks’ tanks to fight the fire after it was discovered that their hose was not long enough to reach the nearest cistern, one of several water storage units located throughout the village for use in case of fire.) You never saw such staggering blazes; even the smoke became pickled. (Oldtimers have since recalled that the air became “perfumed” with the smell ofthe vinegar hitting the hot flames, reminiscent of “pickling time.”) Town Mar­ shal Simeon Overholt got so excited over it that not a few people thought he was going to arrest the fire - for being drunk and disorderly.

Sixth grade students from Kellogg and Maplewood Elementary schools took an overnight field trip to Green­ field Village Nov. 19-20. While at the village, students had the opportunity to visit both Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum. While touring the village, students were able to visit Thomas Edison’s laboratory, and the first home to be elec­ trified. They saw the Wright Brother’s Cycle shop, Henry Ford’s birthplace and workshop, and other historical sights. At the Scotch Settlement School, they read from the first educational textbook, the McGuffey Reader. (A few students even sat in the comer and wore a “dunce” hat.) Several craftsmen at the village gave demonstrations for the students—weaver, glassblower, tinsmith, printer, potter, blacksmith. At the Henry Ford Museum, students observed agricultural machinery used throughout history. The automotive exhibit was also of great interest and the chair that President Lincoln was assassinated in. During the evening pro­ gram, everyone produced a radio show, which was taped and brought back to their classrooms. Students also were able to work with toys from many decades. Swimm­ ing in the pool was a highlight of the evening program. Several adult chaperones at­ tended the trip: Brinda and Dave Hawkins, Jerry Ses­ sions, Marvin Mitchell, Nan­ cy and Richard Byrd, Melanie Burpee and Kathy Othmer. Staff attending was Sue Luyendyk, Cindy Gutchess, Steve Slag, Sandy Briggs. Eric Heide, and Joy Frith. “Everyone felt the trip was a great educational experience for the students, and everyone seemed to have a good time,” said a school spokesperson.

Robert B. Owen, 30, of 21 Thornapple Lake Rd., was also put on five years' probation and was ordered to pay court costs of $1,000, a fine of $200 and perform 100 hours of community service. Owen was one of 25 people arrested on various drug charges in Barry County following a one-year undercover operation conducted by the Hastings Police Department and the Barry County Sheriffs Department. Known as operation HADE (Hastings Area Drug Enforcement), the $19,000 investigation involved hiring two undercover agents from outside the county to infiltrate the local drug culture and make drug purchases. In handing down the sentence on Nov. 20, Circuit Court Judge Richard M. Shuster went beyond the zero to three month jail sentence recommended by the probation department. Originally charged with delivery and manufacture of marijuana, a four-year felony offense, Shuster told Owen he already received one break in that he was allowed to plead guilty to the lesser offense of attempted delivery and manufacture of marijuana. "We have a situation where a person was a marijuana user and carried a supply for himself," Shuster said. "We don't condone the use, but we treat selling as a very serious matter." "You, sir, dealt. You, sir, dealt in drugs," Shuster said to Owen. "You wouldn't be in this predicament if you weren't a user and carried a supply for yourself.” Prior to sentence being delivered, Owen's attorney, Thomas Dutcher, asked the court to follow the sentence recommendation of the probation department. "I agree with (Barry County Prosecutor Judy) Hughes that it was a dreadful mistake on the part of my client, " he said. "But I would like to indicate that Mr. Owen is not a dealer. He indicated that several times to the undercover officer." "Mr. Owen is a family man and a respected member of the community. He's the father of three children, and he wants to continue supporting them." Owen told the court that he has learned his lesson from the experience and that he had sworn off marijuana use even before he had been arrested. "I learned my lesson very well," he said.

November 15. The North American International Livestock Exposition, (NAILE), is held an­ nually at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center in Louisville. Livestock breeders from nearly every state in the U.S. and from Canada compete for over $450,000 in premiums. Over 110,000 visitors from around the world attended the 14th annual NAILE Nov. 7-20. Nearly 14,500 purebred animals competed in this year's expo, making the NAILE the largest, all-breed, purebred livestock show in the world. Tri-County Electric Cooperative, with offices in Portland and Blachard, will refund §778,106.11 to its members during the month of December. Members who received monthly-billed residential ser­ vice between September 1986 and August 1987 will receive the refund, as will all members who were billed on an annual basis in 1986 for residential or general service. The refund, a result of Tri­ County’s purchased power costs being less than estimated, will appear as a credit on members’ bills due in December. The average member, using 750 kilowatt hours per month between September 1986 and August 1987, will receive a refund of approximately $45. The amount each member will receive will vary, because the refund is figured on the number ofkilowatt hours used during the period being refunded. Tri-County is a memberowned utility with 16,500 meters in service from nor­ thern Jackson County to southern Clare County.

It can also get expensive, especially if you fill your feeder every time it’s empty. Glenn Dudderar, Extension wildlife specialist at Michigan State University, says people often find the demand in­ creases until feeding birds gets so expensive that they can no longer affort it. When they stop, they needlessly miss some of the most enjoyable time of bird feeding. Late winter and early spring often bring new species to the feeder, or birds in new, brightly Colored feathers. One family in four feeds birds, he notes, so if you live in a suburban or urban area and you stop feeding, the birds that have been coming to your feeder probably won’t have any trouble finding new food sources. If yours is the only family feeding birds for several miles around, however, the birds that have become dependent on your feeder may freeze or starve before they find another food source.

Maple Valley Community Education • 852-9275 WIN THE COLD WAR By Nancy D. Thelen Ext. 4-H Youth Agent Children enjoy taking part in holiday gift giving, whether they are presenting or receiv­ ing gifts. During the winter holiday season, parents, teachers, 4-H leaders and others who work with children can use this natural interest to help youngsters make presents for friends or relatives while they learn basic food preparation techniques and lessons in good nutrition. “Making gifts can be an excellent family activity,” says 4-H food and nutrition specialist Pat Hammerschmidt. ‘’It’s a fun and often inexpensive way for kids to express themselves and see the results of their labor.” Children can help create numerous edible gifts and Hammerschmidt suggests choosing healthful foods and snacks rather than traditional sugared treats such as fudge or peanut brittle because peo­ ple are often overwhelmed with sugared treats during the holidays. Instead, Hammerschmidt recommends bak­ ing breads, muffins, biscuits or soft pretzels and explaining the healthful benefits of these foods to the young chefs who prepare them. ’898 Advertised Price Free Electric Start Free Tire Chains 5 Forward/2 Reverse Speeds — matches all snow conditions Conveniently Located Spout Rotator al Top of Handle Free-Hand™ Control — allows you to operate machine with one hand while changing chute direction with the other.

Now only Some special considerations need to be taken into account when working with preschool or lower elementary-aged children. “Very young children need close supervi­ sion, especially when a heat source or the use of a knife is involved,” Hammerschmidt says. “You should expect a mess, so it’s a good idea to cover the work area with newspapers or work on a sur­ face that’s easy to clean.” Hammerschmidt also ad­ vocates using simple recipes because young children have short attention spans and like to see the results of their ef­ forts in a short time. Older children and teens can be given more responsibility and more challenging recipes, but they still need more supervision. Other food craft suggestions for all ages include filling ajar with several layers of various dry beans and adding a recipe for bean soup, collecting family or magazine recipes for a cookbook or giving homemade pancake mix. Among non-edible craft ideas are one-inch pieces of paper towel tubing wrapped with colorful fabric to use as napkin holders. Hammerschmidt says that children can also make modeling dough to give as gifts to friends or young relatives.

Place your feeder either 8-10 feet to the leeward of a thick hedge, a stand oftrees or shrubs, or a building, or close by an east or south window. The aim is to provide the feeder some protection from the wind without making it easier for cats, hawks and other predators to surprise the birds as they feed. A feeder next to a window can be especially enjoyable. As long as the room is not lighted, the birds won’t be able to see in­ side and you can watch them close up. What will happen if you decide not to fee'll the birds? Some will migrate, some will find other sources of food and some will die. That’s nature’s way, Dudderar points out—the population goes up or down depending on the environ­ ment’s ability to provide food, cover and nesting spots. Feeding the birds may pre­ vent some individuals from straving, but it may also in­ creased mortality due to disease and predation by con­ centrating many birds in a small area. “What it boils down to is whether you enjoy watching and learning about the birds and whether you can afford the commitment to feed them through the winter,” Dudderar sums up. “If that’s the case, bird feeding is for you. ’ ’ If your budget is a liberal one and you want to offer something for virtually every bird that comes along, you’ll need what Dudderar calls the deluxe variety. It consists of cracked and whole corn, black and striped whole and cracked sunflower seeds, red and white proso millet, oats, peanuts and peanut hearts, thistle seed, suet, peanut but­ ter, apples, raisins, cranber­ ries, popped popcorn and bread scraps. Commercially prepared seed mixes make a good base for the deluxe variety, he notes. Keep in mind, however, that some of these foods may attract birds that you do not necessarily want. Starlings, for instance, love peanut hearts. Some birds, such as blue jays, are famous for wasting large quantities of a seed mix­ ture as they sift through it in search of sunflower seeds. To minimize seed waste, Dudderar suggests feeding certain foods-particularly sunflower seeds, thistle seed and fruits— in separate feeders. Other desirable additions to your feeding station are fresh water and grit—parakeet or canary gravel, coarse con­ struction sand or crushed oyster shells. Providing a bird bath will attract species that ordinarily don’t patronize a feeder, such as orioles, robins and bluebirds when they ar­ rive in the spring. All birds need grit to help them digest their food.

Nashville, Vol. 116 - No. Judge rules in favor of Hubka in freedom of information lawsuit by Shelly Sulser The Maple Valley Board of Education last week lost a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to school district resi­ dent George Hubka. Eaton County Fifth Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Dem­ ing Wednesday ordered the Board of Education to supply Hubka with a certified copy of a composite evaluation docu­ ment compiled by the board in December 1986 when they assessed the work of school Superintendent Carroll J. Wolff, Deming said. Deming also said he ruled that because the seven forms used by the board members to evaluate Wolff were destroyed and not given to Hubka at his request, the board must pay Hubka $500 in punitive damages plus court fees and costs. “I’m happy,” said Hubka who filed the suit last February and acted as his own Jegal counsel. “I’m real happy.” Hubka initally filed his claim against the board after his request for copies of the assessment forms used by the individual board members was denied. Instead he receiv­ ed a statement that the documents had been destroyed. His request for a “certified copy” of the composite was also not granted at that time, he said. The board’s refusal to pro­ vide those documents was a violation of Michigan Public Act 442 of 1976 as ammended, he said. ‘‘They, (the board members) felt they (the documents) should be exclud­ ed from the law because they were a communication within the board,” Hubka said. “If that issue were to be decided, he (the judge) would have decided it if they had saved them.” Through,, hearings and testimony that took place dur- ing 10 months of litigation, Board President Dale Ossenheimer admitted that he burned the seven individual forms in his trash burner. Ossenheimer was recalled Sept. 22 for his involvement in the allegedly mishandled evaluation. Hubka argued during the trial last week that the destruc­ tion of the documents con­ stituted a violation of Michigan Public Act 1959 No. 68 Compiled Law No. 399.5 that states any record that “is a written memorial of a transaction of a public of­ ficer made in the discharge of his duty shall be the property of the people of the state and may not be disposed of, mutilated or destroyed except as provided by law.” “They have to send a state­ ment to the Michgian Kevin Engel and Amy Walker were chosen outstan­ Historical Commission saying ‘we have the following ding youth by the Charlotte Optimist Club, and were documents’ and they provide a given plaques and certificates for their selection.

He said Engel and Walker were nominated and chosen based on their academic per­ formance, citizenship, com­ munity and school extra cur­ ricular activities.

Builders Steve Augustine of Vermontville, Dion Rasey of Nashville and Harvey Fredricks of Hastings ap­ parently became disgusted that there was dissention among the council regarding whether there had been ap­ proval to advertise for bids to build a 50 by 50 foot village garage addition. Augustine called the heated debate “a circus” before leaving with his unopened bid. The dispute was triggered after trustee Darryl Hale could not’recall whether the council voted to advertise for bids. “I don’t remember putting it out for bids,” he said. “To my knowledge, the council never acted on putting it out for bids.” Hale noted nd money has been budgeted for such a project to replace a recently sold storage shed and another building in poor condition. Trustee Joe Ann Nehmer also questioned the action noting there was no mention in the minutes of a vote to ac­ cept bids. “Council never decided to build a 50 by 50 garage and (See Vermontville, Page 6) �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, December 8, 1987 — Page 2 Judge rules in favor of Hubka in freedom of information lawsuit Continued from front page Hubka $500 and costs.” schedule of. destruction,” Deming said he ruled the Hubka said. “A judge has to forms should not have been determine whether items are destroyed because “they were excludable or not.

We shouldn’t have destroyed the documents and the request for a certified copy should have been granted.” Hubka said Judge Deming gave Hawkins, Ossenheimer and Lehman 20 days to decide who their chief executive of­ ficer was and to have that per­ son supply Hubka with a cer- tified copy of the evaluation. Superintendent Carroll Wolff remains on a sick leave-ofabsence for a possible heart condition. Hubka feels the case should serve to show the citizens of the district that they can ac-< cess public documents and ac­ tions by law. Lehman feels not only did the board lose the case — the district lost as well. Costs to the district for litigation in the matter is estimated to be more than $20,000. In another matter, in the same court one day prior to the ruling, Deming ruled in favor of a Nashville woman’s request to quash a supeonae calling for her testimony in Driver charged with homicide Continued from front page and some toes of the other foot, officials said Monday. She sustained third degree bums to 70 percent of her body.

A loaf of "Grandmother's" bread cost only four cents on Dec. 8, 1932, according to this ad for the local A. & P. grocery store which appeared in The Nashville News on that date. Other prices also reflect the era of "hard times" when Nashville was reeling under the blow of the Great Depression. The same week this ad appeared, thousands of hunger marchers had con­ verged on Washington, D.C., where they faced police carrying "riot guns and tear bombs." without his knowledge, and in double quick time, early Tuesday afternoon of last week, Thomas Fuller, well known Maple Grove octagenarian, is “sold”'on the crime broadcasting system of the Michigan State Police, which was the means of restoring his money to him very quickly. The car, a Ford 8, and its occupants, a man and three women, in Gypsy attire, were picked up by the Barry Coun­ ty sheriff, George Leonard, who went to Allegan for them. Mr. Fuller, his son, Fred Fuller, his wife and daughter Alice, were at the Barry County jail when they reached there, made the identification, and best of all got the money back. And this was only Thursday. The Maple Grove folks did not remain for the disposition of the case. K. of P. Jiggs Dinner Well Attended Tuesday evening was the occasion for another of those justly famed Jiggs Dinners given annually by Ivy Lodge, Knights of Pythias, when cor­ ned beef and cabbage come into their own in the old fashioned way. Vem Bera, W.A. Quick and Frank Caley were the committee in charge, which assures that no detail was neglected. The corned beef and cabbage was done to a “turn,” the fixin’s were all right, with 85 enjoying the event in a very thorough way. Of course there were visitors of note, and speeches by them after the dinner. Among those were Grand Chancellor Johnson of Sturgis, Past Grand Chancellor B.G. Swift of Middleville, Sam Amer of Hastings, a grand officer, and others. Card playing before the supper served at 7 p.m., and afterward, was enjoyed as on former occasions. Everyone enjoyed the event hugely. This scene of Nashville's Main Street was taken a couple years before the stock market crash of 1929, at a time when Nashville had two banks: State Savings and the Farmers & Merchants. The two consolidated in 1929 to form the Nashville State Bank. One Monday morning in July 1931 that institution failed to open for business; eventually went into receivership. Nashville had no bank until more than four years later when First National Bank of Battle Creek opened a branch office in the old building. Today it houses the local branch of Hastings City Bank. Tough times notwithstanding, the era of the Great Depression did provide for some "fun" times in Nashville: a " Depression" bridge club with special rules; a "Good Cheer" party where talk of "Old Man Depression" was not allowed, and annual community events like the K. of P. Maggie & Jiggs dinner. In this updated 1930s photo, Clara Hanneman is seen walking north on the west side of South Main Street, with Mary White's Main Cafe and Joe Hurd's garage in the far background. seemed to enjoy the occasion very much. A large number of friends remembered him with cards. Grandpa Dean had an in­ grown toenail removed a few weeks ago and it has been more or less painful ever since, in spite ofthe fact it has been healed for some time. He gets from one room to another with help, but is as genial and witty as ever. A short time ago he receiv­ ed a letter from a young man in the West asking for a detail­ ed account of his impressions of Lincoln, when he saw (the president) at Richmond (while serving with the Union forces during the Civil War). It af­ forded him much pleasure in renewing his experience and having it passed on to one who is interested. 1933 Auto Licenses Are Placed on Sale The confusion of a year ago due to the similiarity of Ohio Depression Club Met and Michigan 1932 Mrs. Carl Lentz was automobile license plates will hostess Tuesday afternoon to be eliminated in 1933. the Depression Club of eight Michigan plates went on sale ladies, who play bridge in December 1. house dresses with but articles A year ago both Ohio and served for refreshments.

Dahlhousers Bring Home a Large Buck Probably no local people enjoy the deer hunting season more than Mr. and Mrs. Philip Dahlhouser in their an­ nual visits to the wilds of Roscommon County. They returned on Wednes­ day night of last week with a fine 148 pound buck and in­ teresting bits about their so­ journ. Mr. Dahlhouser counted 41 deer, maybe coun­ ting the same ones several times, and Mrs. Dahlhouser, who took her hatchet in hand and blazed the trees so she could find her way back from her strolls, counted nine. The hunters were not so numerous as usual. A large black bear, in the pink of condition, warm yet, was shown them by some young hunters, who paused at the camp. They had gone by a short time before on their way to the Au Sable River. A wolf was killed also in that vicinity. And they saw protected young elk at Houghton Lake. Charles Dahlhouser and Ward Smith spent the last few days of their camp stay with them, and got a fine outing, but no deer.

On Tue.day of Thanksgiving week, Miss Minnie Fumiss gave a 6 o’clock dinner to a group of friends, complimen­ tary to Mrs. Dean, who returned from the Pacific coast a few months ago.

Tex is Vermontville snowman The arrival of snow gave youngsters a change of scenery and a new way to enjoy the outdoors last week, like 21-month-old Joshua Hulsebos. With the help of mom, Arlene, Joshua was able to create "Tex", complete with apple eyes, stone mouth, candle nose and long, reaching stick arms and hands. With his jolly smile, "Tex" was reminiscent of "Frosty the Snowman" eager to come to life.

But with only four lettermen and one full-time start back, Maple Valley could easily have to endure another rocky beginning to the basketball season. The Lions survived a disasterous 1-9 start to finish 8-13 overall (5-7 league) and in fourth place in the SMAA. Reese, who has won 174 games in two decades at Maple Valley, has only 6-1 senior Scot Lenz (10 points per game) as the lone return­ ing starter. Other than Lenz, junior Barry Carpenter (6-3 center) started a handful of games. The rest ofthe lettermen in­ clude seniors Richard Meade (6-0 forward), Brock DeGroot (5-8 guard) and Lance Root .

Reese says a quick start is naturally preferred but not likely with the first seven games on the road. “Our rtiaturity level is quite low,” says Reese, who has eight juniors on the 13-man roster. “I hope our en­ thusiasm level will make us stronger.” On the bright side, Reese says the team will be large with two players standing over 6-4 and two others at 6-2. “This is the biggest team we’ve had since 1975,” notes O 0 O PRE-INVENTORY SALE • In-stock Patterns ....... ^/3 Off Reese, who looks for Carpenter, Lenz and Meade to head a decent rebounding crew. With juniors Travis Swin­ son, Matt Forell and Bob Hill on the roster, Reese also likes the Lions’ speed and defen­ sive pressure. Offense, however, may be another matter as the team lacks punch.

The Lions stuck in the game through the first half, trailing only 31-23 at the half. But the Trojans, debuting under new coach Kurt Holzhueter, fired in 33 third period points while holding the Lions to only 10 markers. Middleville led 64-33 by the end of the quarter. Lion coach Jerry Reese said inexperience played a major factor in the third period when his team couldn’t handle the Trojans’ press. “Their half court press gave us trouble when we had three players on the court with no varsity experience,” said Reese. “We just-have to look at this as a learning experience and go on from there.” Reese was impressed with the Trojans, who return five lettermen from an O-K Blue championship team. “They are a very talented club,” said Reese. “I thought we played well in the first half, but eventually reboun­ ding hurt us.” The Trojans outrebounded the Lions 41-27. Lance Root led Maple Valley with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Barry Carpenter added eight points and Scot Lenz eight points and four steals. Along with rebounding, the Lions were hurt by poor shooting. Maple Valley hit 9-of-23 first half shots, but only 8-of-32 after that. David Elies led Middleville with 15 points while Brian Verlinde added 14 and Doug and Tim Mesecar 12 each. Trojan Brian Verlinde (44) grabs a rebound while teammate Mike Brotherton (22) looks on. Sports continued on next page For Sale Well, maybe you have changed a little!

Teachers as well as students are encouraged to take part by giving as many canned goods as they want. Bahs said students arriving at school in the morning will be greeted by a large poster and collection box in the en­ tryway of the school which will later in the day be moved to the cafeteria. The drive is expected to run from Dec. The most cans collected in a designated faculty member’s box will earn that staff person a surprise when a special Christmas assembly is held at the school Dec. 18, Bahs said. Spearheading the project are Student Council Canned Goods Committee members Ryan Rosin, Diona Morawski, Kim Bahs and Kevin Engel. 14-17.

Elected president Nov. 10 was Tim Dickman. Mike Cason was named vice presi­ dent, and the office of secretary-treasurer was filled by Doug Aspinall. .Dickman and Cason are on the Hastings Ambulance Service, while Aspinall is with the Nashville Ambulance Service. The goal of the council is to lay the groundwork for bring­ ing together the various ser­ vices around Barry County which are responsible for the emergency care ofthe citizens of the county, Tom Kaufman, director of public affairs at Pennock Hospital in Hastings. Fire departments, police departments, emergency medical teams and Pennock Hospital are uniting to coor­ dinate efforts and bring uniformity to their services, he said.. With the cooperation of the towns and villages in the county, the organization hopes to improve and refine all the medical care given in Barry County, he said. The group has already agreed to use the same medical procedures as are already in use in Kent County. By standardizing care, member units will be able to work more efficiently together, Kaufman explained.

Kaufman said all area am­ bulance services are represented in the council, and letters were mailed on Dec. 1 to area fire and police departments and civic leaders to encourage their participation. He said he is optimistic about the organization and its acceptance by the com­ munities in Barry County. The council is tightly con­ trolled by state law, Kaufman said. He is now in the process of filling out a 30 page ap­ plication for a permanent per­ mit to operate the council. The council was formed under a temporary permit from the state, he said. Kaufman says there are 30 pages in the application and 150 pages to support the original permit application.

Not often are dogs and ducks thought of as the ideal pet combination but in Nashville, Pooch and Squeaky defy logic. According to their owners, however, the relationship in fact is a bit one sided. “Pooch is like his big brother,” said the owners, who wished not to be iden- tified. “If Pooch gets loose. Squeaky gets real lonely. I think Squeaky would be more lost without Pooch than Pooch without him.” Squeaky was found by the couple as a duckling huddling along a roadside one rainy night. Since then, his affection for Pooch, who has a neighboring dog house in the back yard, has taken flight.

Squeaky follows Pooch around the yard flapping his wings but refuses to enter the couples’ house when Pooch visits. At times, the pair can be found napping together at Pooch’s place. The uncommon friendship often stirs interest and curiosi­ ty by passers by, the couple said. “They always walk down the alley and stop by,” they said. “One guy always stops when he’s driving by.” As big brothers do, though, minor acts of hostility sometimes arise in Pooch. “He’ll growl at Squeaky like a big sister would say to you, ‘don’t do that’,” she said, “but I don’t think he would hurt him.” Satellite What better Gift for Christmas?

Vol. 116 - No. 20 — Tuesday, December 15, 1987 Oukrust to face manslaughter charge by Jeff Kaczmarczyk Robert Oukrust, the driver in a fiery Nashville accident that resulted in two deaths, will face charges of negligent homicide manslaughter with a motor vehicle. Each of the two counts car­ ries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. At his preliminary exam in 56th District Court on Mon­ day, police testified that Oukrust was traveling 96 mph in a 25 mph zone when his white pickup truck left the road at 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 27. A lab technician from Pen­ nock Hospital also testified that Oukrust had a blood alcohol level of .24 percent when tested later that evening.

Witnesses testified that after the accident, Oukrust was able to climb up and out of the driver’s window. He then helped Steortz climb through the door. Steortz suffered a broken ankle in the accident, police said. Police said they were unable to pull Allen, who was caught inside the cab, out of the truck.

They seemd to agree with whatever Genevieve told them. They felt Genevieve had experience and whatever she decided would be suitable. That’s what I gathered from the way they acted.” Sheldon said the names of donors will be engraved on plaques that will hang in the new wing, while the names of those for whom memorial donations were made will also be engraved on plaques in the addition. “I’m very happy with it,” said Sheldon. “I think people have been very generous. They seem to be happy doing this.

Most that will apply for the position have worked at one of our seven universities.” The Maple Valley Board of Education is preparing to replace Superintendent Caroil Wolff who announced earlier this year that he will retire June 30, 1988. The board last month heard a presentation by Dr. Carl Brautigam of the Michigan School Boards Association regarding his method for helping to find a superintendent for the district. Brautigam said the cost for such a search would be about $2,500. Watts said efforts by he and representatives from the remaining six universities would be free ofcharge to the district with the exception of about $500 in mileage reimbursement. The board plans to decide at its Jan. 14 meeting what pro­ cedure they will employ. Watts explained his first step would be to determine a time schedule which would range from showing when the candidates would be screened to when the new person should be on the job. A suggested time schedule given to board members Thursday showed advertising and distribution of brochures by Jan. 15 to announce the superintendent vacany to universities. “Once we set the schedule, you would come up with a list of qualifications you want in the person you’re looking for,” Watts told the board. “I (See Board, Page 7) Robert Watts of the Michigan State University placement program speaks to Maple Valley Board of Education members about seeking a new superintendent. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, December 15. 1987 — Page 2 M.V.

He said, however, that if the appeal was also lost, the plaintiff could be awarded ad­ ditional costs which would be incurred by the district. “I’d strongly suggest we pay the bill and walk away from it,” said trustee Bill Flower after Lehman read Farrell’s letter. “We’ve got enough problems.” Treasurer Jerry Brumm made the motion that the board pay the bill and “get on with school business and put this — thing behind us.” In other business, the board voted to appoint District Cur­ riculum Coordinator Dr. Vic­ tor Schug the chief ad- formation Act does not specifically address destruc­ tion of various documents prior to the time a request is received under the statute.

Brotherhood Meeting Monday Evening - Attendance Large at Supper, and Church Auditorium Is Crowded For Entertainment Later About ninety men met at the Community Houae Monday evening for the December meeting of the Brotherhood. After a bounteous meal, Ktved by Charlie Higdon's kit­ chen squad, and a business meeting conducted around the table*, the men adjourned to the church auditorium, where a crowded house awaited in eager anticipation of a splcn did program Representative Len W Feighner introduced Parole Commissioner Brandige of I rinsing and his quartette from Jackson Prison, who were to furnish the evening's enter­ tainment Accompanied at the piano by Bob Gordon, "organ melody-man.” the quartette, composed of Bill Cosley, Russell Vernon. Tom Kelley and Ed Traut. sang for its opening number, "it s a Long Long Way to Tipperary ” This was followed by two vocal solos. There's a Tear in Your Eye” and "Down the Lazy Watt*’; and two quartette numbers. "Sleep. Kentucky Babe” and "Bell* of St. Mary'*.” The boy* sang with spirit as well as with great ability. The hearty ap piausc and numerous encores proved that the audience was delighted In turning the meeting over to Commissioner Brundige. Russell Vernon paid him this tribute: At a party held at the prison election night with more than two thousand in­ mates in attendance. Commis­ sioner Brundige had been ca­ joled into appearing; at sight of him the men nearly raised the roof with their applause. Never had any parole com­ missioner appearing before a prisoner audience received such an ovation, asserted Ver­ non, and it speaks well for the honor and fairness ofthe man. People know less about the penal and parole branch of their government than about any other department, he said, for very little “inside dope" is published in the newspapers. To give an idea of the size of the task, he quoted the following statistics: Total number in federal, state and county jails - 800,00; Total number in Michigan state prisons - 9,817; Ionia 1,790 (average age 19 years); Jackson - 5, 715; Marquette 900; Ionia criminal insane 717; Detroit house of correc­ tion - 381; Boys’ industrial school 650; Coldwater 431; Adrian school for girls 313; Feeble-mind institutions - 3,464. These figures are alarming­ ly large, but they would not be so large had castration and sterilization laws been passed a few years ago. Questions arc asked him (Brundige) daily which indicate the ignorance of the genetai public. He at­ tempted to answer several of these questions. When a man enters prison he is given a fourteen day quarantine in solitary confine­ ment with only a Bible and a copy of prison rules for reading matter. After this they arc given a physical examina­ tion and assigned clothing and a cell. Everyone who has not completed school as far as the sixth grade is compelled to go to school. In Jackson 2.400 grown men could neither read nor write when they entered. One such prisoner said that in lear­ ning to read and write he felt greatly repaid for many of the hardships he had undergone. In connection with the prison is a large chapel (auditorium during the week) with room for 1,900 men. No money was voted for its fur­ nishings; but the convicts rais­ ed money among themselves to decorate it, install a pipe organ, talkies, boxing rings. During the six months before the recreational programs were instituted, nine commit­ ted suicide and 48 went in­ sane; during the first six mon­ ths ofthe programs there were no suicides and only 19 went insane. He advocated in place of the large strongholds ofprisons of today, prison farms with no strong fences surrounding them. Cell boxes would be provided for four or five men of the violent type; the rest would live in cottages. The last year there were 1,791 At a meeting of the Brotherhood at Nashville's Methodist Church in December, 1932, Michigan's parole commissioner spoke of conditions in state prisons. He ad­ vocated a concept of prison farms "with no strong fences surrounding them" iin lieu of the existing "large strongholds." The commissioner believed that half the inmates at Jackson prison could be let out "on their honor" and only a minute percentage would "go wrong.” In 1932, the census at what now is said to be the nation’s largest walled prison, was 5,700. In the Michigan State Reformatory at Ionia, seen here circa-1910, there were 1,790 inmates at the time of Commissioner Brundige’s local appearance. Average age of the inmates there was 19 years. In the December 8, 1932, issue of The Nashville News, which carried the report of the Brundige visit, also was announced the establishment of a prison school "to further the arrested education of several hundred inmates" at the Reformatory. The school was to be financed by profits of prison industries, so as not to add to the Michigan "taxpayers burden." men outside in trusty posi­ tions; only nine escaped. Of those, eight were returned immediately. He said that out ofthe 5,700 in Jackson at present, between 2,500 and 3,000 could be let out on their honor, and less than one-tenth of one percent would go wrong. He closed his talk by telling several true incidents of parole cases. One convict, after being sentenced for 14 years and four months, before starting on his four life sentences, was asked if he had any regrets or remorse. He stolidly replied, “No, none!” Pressed again, he answered “Yes, 1 have one; that is that the N-— squealed on me!” This fellow and his brother had been taught in their own home to steal automobile ac­ cessories for their auto. “What can be done?

I wish I did.” The boys then gave several more musical numbers, including “Coming Thru the Rye,” “The Song of the Vagabond,” and “King of the Vikings.” The audience was more than pleased with the whole program, for in this case an­ ticipation did not exceed realization. In an unrelated but cor­ responding story carried in the same issue of The Nashville News, announcement was made of a new school at the Ionia Reformatory. That report follows: Establishment of a prison school to further the arrested education of several hundred Ionia Reformatory inmates is expected to be accomplished within a week or two. The school will mark the fulfillment of a project started seven years ago but which was halted when an increasing prison population made it necessary to utilize the newly constructed school building for dormitory facilities. With the building of the new cell block at the Ionia institution the housing situation has been eased so that now-the school building will be available for classes. The building was con­ structed in 1925 at a cost of $30,000. Warden Shean explains that the erection was financed out of profits of the prison industries and did not add to the taxpayer’s burden in Michigan. The school will be financed entirely from the profits ofthe prison industries, according to Warden Shean. LenW. Feighner (1862-1948), a longtime publisher of The Nashville News, was a state representative from this district for a number of years, and he had the honor of introducing Parole Commissioner Brundige and the musical quartette from Jackson Prison to the Nashville audience in December, 1932. The entertainment and the commissioner's Informative talk pleased the local listeners for "in this case," reported The News, "an­ ticipation did not exceed realization."

The objective is to get the best person you can. Ifyou ask for an MA plus 30 and he had only an MA plus 15, he would not be qualified so I suggest going with the lowest qualification, but it’s up to you.” Watts said the qualifications would be sent to him and he would in turn pass them on to the other six universities — Wayne State, Eastern, Cen­ tral, Western, Northern and Michigan — where the post would be advertised in the vacancy bulletins. Watts said for that reason, a form is filled out by the board explaining information about the district such as the number of mills it operates on, the salary to be offered, benefits, etc. “Now, the timeline is all set and you just sit back and wait for the applications to come through the mail,” he said. “These applicaitons are con­ fidential enaun until theepeopeag people agree to come for an interview.” He suggested the board rent a special post office box and appoint a board member or secretary to collect the ap­ plications which would be due possibly by March 11. “Then we would meet someplace for lunch.

Watts said the board would decide which applicants to interview and call them that same day or night to set up interviews to take place possibly between March 15 and March 26. “Select two or three that you like the best, then visit their communities, check them out with their neighbors, local businessmen and see what kind of a job they did there,” Watts suggested. He said interviews with candidates are conducted in open session to allow the public to listen and have input. Watts said his consortium worked with 53 districts in superintendent searches last year and 27 in 1987. He noted that the number ofpersons applying for superintendent positions have decreased over the years. “People, I think, are very satisfied with our work,” he said, adding, “We used to get 50 to 100 applicants. We’ll get 30 to 40 now. There are not as many people looking.” He also said the placement service is “strictly advisory.” He suggested that when in­ terviews are conducted, there are not more than two a night and that special open meetings be held for the purpose of interviewing.

Fitzgerald State Representative POLICE OFFICERS COULD NOT BE REQUIRED to meet quotas for issuing traffic tickets under a bill approved unanimously by the House. The legislation is aimed at ending any policies that may exist which encourage officers to write a certain number of citations during a given time period. In addi­ tion to banning a quota system. House Bill 4538 prohibits those who evaluate an officer's performance from giving the is­ suance ofcitations any greater consideration than other factors. THE MICHIGAN CONSUMERS COUNCIL is a legislative agency that provides various kinds of tips to consumers. To receive a list of the latest “tipsheets,” write to the Council at: 414 Hollister Building, 106 W. Allegan St., Lansing, MI 48933, or call (517) 373-0947. PHYSICIANS WHO SUSPECT ABSUSE of a “vulnerable adult” would be required to make an immediate oral report to the Department of Social Services under legislation approved by the House. Vulnerable adults include the physically or men­ tally impaired and persons who are frail or dependent due to old age. The bill. House Bill 4094, also provides that it would not be a violation of any legally recognized privileged com­ munication for a physician or licensed health professionals to report suspected abuse. PERSONS WHO ATTEMPT TO FLEE AND ELUDE A POLICE OFFICER would receive stiffer penalties under a bill that has been approved by the Senate. Senate Bills 542 and 543 are designed to discourage the need for high-speed chases that risk public safety. Toward that goal, the bill would also change the law so that police and conservation officers would not be required to pursue a person for a civil infraction. A BILL THAT WOULD REQUIRE PRE-ADMISSION SCREENING for persons seeking to enter nursing homes is in the House Committee on Public Health. House Bill 4588 would require a screening team to determine ifa less restrictive and less expensive placement is appropriate based on the per­ son’s health, personal care, and home help needs. This bill is part of the House Republican Task Force Report on Long­ Term Care. NOTICE of PUBLIC HEARING DECEMBER 17, 1987, 7:00 p.m. at the Council Chambers in Nashville.

Recent findings show that 4-H ideas and ac­ tivities also appeal to the very young. The six to eight year old program allows members to explore a variety of projects they can enroll in when they are nine years old. Par­ ticipants are also allowed to take selected exhibits to the Eaton County 4-H Fair. The purpose of the 4-H Cloverbud program is for six to eight year olds (age as of December 31, 1988) to learn a variety of information in order to increase their decision­ making skills, motor skills and imagination, and to develop a sense of respon­ sibility while having fun and meeting new friends. Adults and older teen volunteers interested in help­ ing develop the learning ap­ petite of children can contact the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service at 543-2310 or 372-5594 for information on organizating a 4-H Clover­ bud Club and being a Clover- bud leader.

Extension agent or lender to better understand and use Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) records for sound manage­ ment decisions,’’ Ferris says. The manual is divided into three sections: usage, evalua­ tion and reference. The usage section tells the manager how to request and use optional DHI reports to make quicker, more accurate management decisions. It sug­ gests ways to develop optional cow and group listings that make it easy to quickly locate individual cows that need attention. The herd evaluation section enables the user to analyze reproduction, mastitis and genetic levels using DHI records within stated guidelines. The reference section describes the information presented in the following DHI report forms: • Bam Sheet. This input form is used to report test day information. • Herd Production Report. This contains the individual cows’ lactation information. • Herd Management Report. This enables recor­ ding of individual cow pro­ duction, reproductive and mastitis information, projected action dates and herd reproduction averages^ • Somatic Cell Report. It is a herd mastitis profile and pin­ points infected cows. • Cow Lifetime Report. This provides individual cow lactation, mastitis, reproduc­ tive and calf information. • Herd Inventory Report. This enables an inventory of cows and calves in the herd and gives the genetic values for each. • Calf ID Page. This pro­ vides calf pedigree informa­ tion and projected action dates. • Annual Herd Evaluation Report. This year-end__summary ofherd values can be the basis for modification of management practices during the next year. Ferris says the manual has gone through an extensive review to assure that it’s useful and easy to use in mak­ ing management decisions. The manual costs $23 per copy. It can be ordered through the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Ser­ vice office dr from the MSU Bulletin Office, Box 6640, MSU, East Lansing, MI 48826-6640. Checks should be made payable to MSU when ordering from the bulletin office. For details about the manual, call Ferris at 517/355-8442. 4-H Family roller skating 1.27e. 1.27 to 1.87 b.

Conflict among council members when decisions are to be made was one reason Ramey elected not to run again, she said. “I might decide to run again when the next election comes up but with the last month’s meeting — there is too much conflict on the coun­ cil and I don’t need that,” she said.

Vietnam vets honored with Senate resolution A special senate resolution honoring efforts by the Maple Valley Chapter of the Viet­ nam Veterans of America to secure a memorial monument was presented to the group by District Representative Gene Rector recently. Rector delivered the resolu­ tion to chapter members on behalf of Senator Jack Welborn Dec. 6. Senators Welborn, Arthurhultz, Ehlers, Fessler, Hart, Pollack, Posthumus, Schwarz and Vaughn adopted the resolution Nov. 4. The document states that it was a great pleasure of the legislative body to honor the Maple Valley Chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of America. It notes that in the group’s first year of existence serving Eaton and Barry Counties, it has proven itself to be a leader in helping area veterans and their families and in promoting loyalty and patriotism that have always been hallmarks of the two countries throughout their history. It goes on to recognize that the Vietnam veterans fought in a conflict unlike any in our country’s history and thereby earned the admiration of their communities and state as a result of their heroism and unswerving commitment to serving the nation. The resolution calls the chapters effort to secure a monument a fitting celebra­ tion of their commitment and loyalty. “This ambitious project, which will include space on the monument to include the names of all the local in­ dividuals who gave their life in this war, is a fitting memorial to their fallen commrades and it provides a powerful message to all of us in demonstrating the immeasureable costs of the freedoms we cherish,” it states. The local veterans group is currently raising funds to pur­ chase a monument honoring the war dead, prisoners ofwar and soldiers missing in action that will be placed in the village park of Vermontville.

As a result of the Wish Upon A Star program held for the first time this year in Nashville, 106 children in local needy families will receive three Christmas presents donated by area individuals. A tree located at the Hastings City Bank Nashville Branch bore stars with the first wish of the children and citizens chose to purchase that gift, wrap it and return it to the bank with the star attached. After the first wishes were met, program coordinator Pat Wagner placed the same childrens’ second gift wish on the tree. When those wants were provided, the third gift choices of the children were placed on the tree. Wagner said most all of those were provided as well. Donations of $100 each by the Coleman Agency of Hastings and the Nashville Chamber of Commerce took care of the third gift wishes leftover, Wagner said. “I am very pleased,” said Wagner who worked with volunteers Friday to sort the presents and canned good con­ tributions for delivery last Saturday. “The community responded to this beyond my wildest imagination. People from other communities said they have never seen a com­ munity respond like this.” A total of 321 presents were purchased and donated by Nashville citizens and hun­ dreds of canned goods were collected by the schools, chur­ ches and businesses. “The box at Fuller School was just overflowing (with canned food) .and the high school and Kellogg School too,” Wagner said. In all, 69 families will benefit from the generous contributions, Wagner said. She said the community Christmas baskets were made up of a variety of fruits and vegetables, noodles, macaroni and cheese, stuffing, oleo, cookies, cereal, toilet paper, jello, pie filling plus three gifts for each child. Boy scout pack 176 helped in the delivery of gift boxes to those who were not able to pick them up themselves Saturday from the Nashville United Methodist Church. Nearly 400 Christmas gifts were purchased and donated for the Nashville Community Christmas Basket project using the Wish Upon A Star program originated this year by Pat Wagner of Nashville. Michele Hoffman of Hastings City Bank in Nashville stands by the tree there bearing the stars with the gifts placed beneath.

The charming stories related by these two men gave our readers a glimp­ se of the homespun joys that marked Yuletide celebrations of the past. In today’s column we again take a look at those accounts, related to us for publication on this page seven years ago today. Christmas 1907 was one holiday that Clifford Brooks would always remember, for that was the year he found a potato in his stocking. “But all my other Christmases were happy ones," commented Brooks, who was 86 years old when he told us this story. “We always had a pretty good Christmas. ’ ’ The potato came as a joke from his father in a year when In an oubof-the-ordinary role for early 20th century husbands, William O. Dean made Christmas candies and cooked the holiday dinner for his wife, the former May Rowley (seen here), their four children and his father-in-law. In later years, Dean became known for his poetry and bee-keeping, and had his works published as "Rhymes of a Bee-Keeper." After posing for this unusual photo taken i n November 1900 at VanNocker’s studio in Nashville, Clifford Brooks and his youthful aunt, Genevieve Archer, went to KrafJ’s grocery store for a weigh-in that launched a Thanksgiving-to-Christmas contest which still generated laughter 80 years later. the family had lost their home to a springtime fire. When Christmas rolled around things were still pretty tough financially, recalled Clifford. “My father got me a pair of overshoes for Christmas that year,” he reminisced. But there wasn’t much money left to stuff the stocking of. a 13-year-old lad. Clifford Brooks was bom in Maple Grove Township in 1894, the son of Charles W. and Nellie (Archer) Brooks. He was the oldest of six children, three of whom died in infancy. “For most of my life it was like being an only child,” recalled Clifford. After losing two brothers and a sister in infancy, another sister did not arrive until Clifford was in his mid­ eens aa secon om in n teens; second was was bom 1913, the year that Clifford Only the richer families had Christmas trees in their homes at the turn of the century; others often exchanged gifts at the trees set up in local churches for holi­ day exercises. This early photo from the Len Feighner collection shows a tree at home decorated with what appear to be fancy handerkerchiefs. Perhaps they are gifts, as others (doll, dishes, picture, lantern, etc.) seem to be on display/ the Nashville studio of E. H. VanNocker. After the photo session the two youngsters were taken to the J.B. Kraft grocery store, located on that site that now is the north portion of the post office. “There we both were put on the scales,” recalled Clifford. “We weighed exactly the same. Mr. Kraft told us to come back at Christmas and get weighed again. He said he would give some candy to the one who weighed the most graduated from Nashville then. Genevieve won the match, High School. His mother died a few weeks after giving birth and Clifford chided her for the next 80 years, claiming she to her daughter.

Animals cannot eat enough snow to meet their body requirements. Waterers should be heated to prevent the water from freezing. When heating waterers pay special attention to proper in­ stallation and grounding ofthe electrical equipment. Extra feed should be sup­ plied to animals which are not provided warm housing. Calves in hutches should get an extra feeding of milk replacer with high fat content (more than 20%). All newly bom animals are particularly susceptible to cold stress and steps should be taken to provide supplemental heat for them when they are bom. This applies especially to piglets, lambs, calves, and also to puppies and kittens. Protection from wind and drafts is also necessary to pre­ vent chilling. Teat dipping should be discontinued to prevent frostbite injuries. ' Increased bedding is helpful in preven­ ting cold stress and frostbite. Each different type of animal has its own particular need for extra care during extreme cold weather. Only the owner can provide for the animals in their trust!

Being surrounded by angels is the norm year-round for Sharon Reese who makes them .and sells them at craft shows around the state. The credit, however, is given to friend Paula Cole of Vermontville, who created the original heavenly design. “I learned it from Paula Cole about five or six years ago,” explained Reese, the wife ofMaple Valley’s varsity basketball coach, Jerry Reese. “She (Paula) had been think­ ing about making angels for a while and came up with the pattern that has now been published.” Sharon sought to give her angels originality, by making each one different. “The others have branched off from that,” said Sharon. One will have cheery eyes with a lace collar and another will take on a praying position with feminine rosy cheeks. They come in varying propor­ tions and all of course have spreading angelic wings. “Then I got into the eyelets and to the country angel,” she noted. “They’ve been really popular.' ’ Some will have ruffled. dresses while others will not and some possess quilted, lace lined wings, braided hair and delicate halos. “You just do not see this kind of angel anywhere,” Sharon observed. “There’s really not a variety of them out there. It is something very unique.” Sharon noted that each angel has its own “personali­ ty” and name. She has given the angels names of her relatives and friends, “like ‘sister’s’ *my mother’s’. My sister Susan’s has the eyelet lace and Heidi’s (her daughter) is the all eyelet skirt.” Sharon and friend Sue Howard of Vermontville join­ ed forces to hit the craft show circuit last summer, attending the Albion Festival of Forks, the Irving Park Art Fair in Each angel Sharon Reese makes has it’s own "personality" she said, with some styles names after members of her family. Sharon learned the craft from Paula Cole of Vermontville who created the design. An angel Sharon made sits atop her living room Christmas tree while...

Battle Creek and the Marshall Christmas show recently. “We had a real good time,” she said excitedly. “We love it! They call from everywhere wanting them. One girl called from Michigan State University. She had seen us at Albion.” She admits, however, much of the fun is in sampling the varieties of food available at the festivals. “I think we end up eating all of our profits,” she laughed. An angel created by Sharon sits atop her living room Christmas tree which is sur­ rounded by a matching skirt below. Her sister-in-law keeps her angel sitting on her bed while another angel owner Sharon knows has one on each of four bedposts. Sharon most enjoys cutting, piecing, sewing and stuffing the angels during the winter so that summertime heat is not a problem for her. “In the winter I try to get everything cut out. I usually know about how many I need,” she said. Assembly is not resumed until September, she said. “I try not to do more than what would keep me sane,” said Sharon. “I just want to do what I want, when I want. I think I have more fun with it just being a hobby.” Prior to her newly bom in­ ters! in making the angels five years ago, Sharon was content with sewing occasionally and backing her husband in his basketball career, things she still enjoys. “I like to sew. I’ve always sewn but-1 certainly wouldn’t make a quilt by myself,” she noted. “I’m not that am­ bitious. My attention span is too short.

I was content to be a couch potato but now I never sit down.” But despite any hobby Sharon becomes involved in, basketball is still a high priori­ ty in her life. Jerry has been a coach in the Maple Valley district since 1968 and now their daughter, Heidi, is active in the girls’ team and son Chipper on the eighth grade squad. “Basketball is my life. It starts in September and ends in March because he (Jerry) coaches girls basketball in the fall and boys during the winter,” she said. Sharon and Jerry are busy members ofthe Maple Valley Athletic Boosters and attend the Nashville United Methodist Church. Sharon can often find herself attending three basket­ ball games in one week, she said. “I love basketball. I don’t know anything different. It’s always been that way,” Sharon noted. Jerry was bom in Alabama and moved to Pontiac in the fourth grade. The pair met in high school when she was a cheerleader and he was on the basketball team. The same scenario con­ tinued on into college and they eventually married. “I never got to play because they didn’t have girls sports then,” she said. Although the routine is hec­ tic, having one family member come home for din­ ner at five and another at six, Sharon is accustomed to the inconveniences. “It’s hectic for him having back to back practices bet­ ween boys and girls basket­ ball. It’s a workout,” she said. “I know he won’t be coaching forever. I suspect then, we’ll just go and watch the games.”-Without basket­ ball in their lives, Sharon said the days would be dull.

It’s easy for the kids to forget but we don’t forget. It’s so neat to watch them come up through the program,” she pointed out. “I remember the first game we played his first year as varsity coach. We split with Springport that year. We beat them once and they beat us once during the season and then we played them in the districts. It was so hot in that gym and we won in overtime. I can still hear the noise,” she said as she reflected back. “The game was played so well by both teams. Neither one was going to give up.” Does she ever regret the time Jerry’s career requires? “If you love the man, you love thejob,” she said. “Ask­ ing - him to quit basketball would be like asking him to cut off his arm. If I didn’t really like it, it would be tough. I enjoy the competition.” The Nashville Commission on Aging Site has made five quilts for residents of the Thronapple Manor as a Christmas gift donation, a project that took only three weeks. Site members last year made lap robes for the patients and this year were asked for bed coverings. "We just think it's a good thing,” said site member Jean Withey of Vermontville. "We just wanted to do something for them this year." She said all the materials for the project was donated by the COA participants.

December 22, 1987 — Page 14 Turnovers help Eagles soar past Maple Valley eagers Olivet ran off 16 straight points in the third quarter breaking a tie and handing Maple Valley a 66-45 loss last Friday. With Olivet leading at the half 33-29, the Lions scored the first two baskets of the third quarter to tie the game. But the Eagles promptly ran off 16 straight points to lead 45-33. Olivet outscored Maple Valley 13-12 in the last eight minutes for the win. Maple Valley is now 1-4 overall and 0-2 in the SMAA. Lion coach Jerry Reese said 24 turnovers, poor shooting and a lack ofrebounding were too much for his team to over­ come, despite tying the game early in the second half. “We threw the ball away 14 times in the second half. There was one time when we Maple Valley Athletic Boosters BINGO MAPLE VALLEY H.S. CAFETERIA THURSDAYS * 6:30 PM Doors Open 5:30 • Early Birds 6:15 threw the ball away three times without any pressure. We just mishandled the ball,” said Reese. Maple Valley wound up hit­ ting only 17-of-61 field goals as opposed to 22-of-47 for Olivet. Free throws were also critical with the Eagles bagg­ ing 22-of-34 to only 7-of-20 for Maple Valley. Reese said shooting hasn’t been the Lions’ strong suit this winter. “It’s very rough,” he said. “The best we’ve shot was 35 percent when we beat Montabella.” Brock DeGroot led Maple Valley with 15 points. Scott Lenz added nine and seven re­ bounds and Mike Evans had eight. Olivet outrebounded the Lions 39-28. Frosh off to 3-0 start Last Wednesday night the Maple Valley Freshmen basketball team braved the bad weather and a scrappy Montabella squad to post their third consecutive win. The Maple Valley team started the game with their first 30 point quarter of the year. The entire team shot 45% from the field. Three team members had outstanding performances in the Montabella victory. Jason Hoefler was 14 of22 from the field, totaled 31 points and pulled down 14 rebounds. Scott Castelie went 9 of 15 from the field, totaled 22 points and 15 rebounds. Jeff Moore played his best game at center this year, scoring 8 points (4 for 5) and pulled down 9 rebounds.

Ice fishing is rewarding challenge To some people, winter is a time for sitting in front of the fireplace dreaming about warm weather. The though of sitting for several hours beside a small hole on a frozen lake sounds less than exciting. But for others, winter is a season full of the fun and excitement of ice fishing. Ice fishing equipment may consist of a simple ice fishing rod and monofilament fishing line, or an elaborate system that alerts the angler to a possible catch when an attach­ ed flag is “tipped up.” Broken fishing rods also make good ice fishing poles because the shorter length is easy to maneuver. Because the equipment requirements are simple, ice i fishing is a sport that may be enjoyed by young and old alike, in rural and non-rural areas. Perch and pan fish are the most popular catches of icee anglers. Other favorites are muskellunge, northern pike and pickerel. Ice fishing is a good way for young anglers to get their first fishing experience, as well as spend some enjoyable family time learning from parents or grandparents. It is also a good way for children to learn basic health protection lessons about avoiding frostbite and hypothermia. Wear layers of clothing, especially wool garments that trap body warmth and keep out the cold.

Rose Heaton, daughter of Leon and Bernice Frith of Nashville, was recently employed by the local council to replace Pam Godbey as village office manager. Godbey is leaving the position to concentrate her attention on the birth of her third child. Heaton is a 1977 graduate of Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School and of Western is Michigan University where she studied political science, criminal justice, sociology and psycology. Prior to applying for the of­ fice manager position in Nashville, she worked as a friend of the court for two years in Battle Creek and then in Ingham County as a social worker at the Department of Social Services. Her husband, Dave, works at the Riverside Correctional Facility in Ionia and the cou­ ple live with their children, Kristen and Spencer at 218 E. new office mgr. Francis St., Nashville. “I was looking for something local to be closer to home,” said Heaton of her reason for taking the job. She will be responsible for maintaining the village office Monday through Friday, handling the billing and col­ lection ofmunicipal water and sewer, computing and filling out all State Highway Depart­ ment reports, calculating all village payroll and filing state and federal tax forms, handl­ ing village accounts payable and receivable, keeping general records and books and handling all correspondence that passes through village hall on Main Street. Because her parents owned a clothing store on Main Street in Nashville when Heaton was a child, she said, “It’s nice to be back.” Rose Heaton of Nashville is the village's new office manager; Oukrust arraignment set for Jan. Arraignment for Robert Oukrust, the driver in a fiery Nashville accident that claim­ ed two lives earlier this month, has been postponed until Jan. 6. Oukrust was scheduled to be arraigned Dec. 23 in Barry County Circuit Court on two counts of homicide­ manslaughter with a motor vehicle. But Oukrust’s court- appointed attorney, Charles Stiles, who was not in court last Wednesday, asked for an adjournment because he was unable to be in Hastings for the proceeding. Oukrust was bound over to circuit court Dec. 14 on charges that he was responsi­ ble for the deaths of two passengers who were riding in his truck when the accident took place on Nov. 27. Gregg Bumford, 25, of 48416 E. Main St., Vermont­ ville, died the next day in the bum treatment unit of Bron­ son Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo from injuries received in the accident. Shelia L. Allen, 15, of 124 S. Main St. Nashville, died two weeks later in the Bron­ son bum unit where she was taken after the accident. Police have charged that 6 Oukrust was driving 96 mph in a 25 mph zone when his pickup truck left the road, hit a tree, rolled onto its side and burst into flames. According to lab reports, Oukrust’s blood-alcohol level was .24 percent shortly after the accident. The two felony charges each carry maximum sentences of 15 years in jail and/or $7,500 fines. Man drowns in Miller's Pond near Nashville by Shelly Suiser A United States Air Force major visiting with his wife’s family in Nashville for the holidays drowned Wednesday in Miller’s pond on Hager Road. Stanley Lee Mead, 33, of 1245 Aldell St., Prattville, Ala. was pronounced dead at Pennock Hospital at about 3:08 p.m. after he was pulled from the icy water by the Casleton-Maple GroveNashville Fire Department rescue unit. Mead was fishing with his father-in-law, Leonard Joppie, while sitting in a flatbot- tomed boat on the five-acre pond when the accident occur­ red at about 12 p.m. Joppie, 60, of 228 Lentz St., Nashville, said Monday that he and Mead frequently fished on the pond on the pro­ perty of Steve Joppie, and had been fishing about two hours when the pair were heading back to shore. He said they had turned the boat around and were about 50 feet out. Joppie was on his knees at the front of the boat paddling through the ice cakes, he said, when he was suddenly catapulted out onto the inch-thick ice. “I didn’t know what hap­ pened or what he (Mead) had done. I don’t know what hap­ pened behind me. If he stood up, I don’t know. When we started, we were both sitting down,” he recalled. The boat apparently turned bottom side up with the left rear of the boat under water and the bow facing east on top of the ice. * ‘When the boat was bottom side up, the ice was not enough to hold me,” he said. He added he repeatedly yelled for a response from Mead. “When I was hollering, I asked if he was all right,” The Castleton-Maple Grove-Nashville Fire Department crew leaves the Steve Joppie property on Hager Road after they pulled the body of Stan Mead from the icy waters of Miller's Pond there. Joppie said. “After about three or four hollers, he said he had a hold of the boat. So I worked my way around. There was a gap of about six or eight feet of open water between me and the boat. I got a hold of the boat and I could see that something was wrong.” Joppie said he was able to pull the 10 foot boat beneath Mead’s body and he then began to push it toward shore. “I didn’t quite get to shore,” he said, noting he was able to touch bottom when Mead slipped off the boat. Joppie said he drug himself from the water, crawled to his pick-up truck parked 75 yards away from the pond and drove to find someone to help. The first person he came to was village maintenance employee Larry Corkwell who was working at the cor­ ner of Kellogg and N. Main St. in Nashville. Joppie said hypothermia had set in by then and he was unable to say anything but “help”. “When we got there, there was a guy in a truck,” said Nashville Ambulance volunteer Pat Powers. “He was cold and suffering from hypothermia. He was in­ coherent and couldn’t say anything. We got him in the rig and we were taking him to the hospital when the family called (the station) and asked how the other guy was. That’s when we found out there was another guy.” Powers said fire department personnel rushed to the scene followed by Nashville’s se­ cond ambulance unit. “When we got to the hospital, he became orientated and we asked if there was another guy,” Powers recall­ ed. “He said yes.” Mead’s body was found floating beneath the ice in about six feet ofwater close to 15 feet from shore, said Sgt. Gerald Smith of the Barry County Sheriff’s Department. Powers said firemen pulled Mead from the water and am­ bulance workers immediately began cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), continu­ ing until they reached Pen­ nock Hospital in Hastings. Mead was apparently in cardiac arrest when he was found and Powers speculated it was caused by the cold and hypothermia. Mead was transported by the Nashville Ambulance to Pennock where nearly an hour was spent on attempts to revive him. Joppie was admitted to Pen­ nock in stable condition and was later released. Joppie said Mead and his wife, Julia, and their two small children had been in Nashville for about two days before the accident occurred. Relatives said Mead was a native of Olivet, having at­ tended Olivet High School and Michigan Technological Universtiy in Houghton. He was enrolled as a student at War College where he was stationed in Alabama, Joppie said. His funeral was scheduled for today at Burkhead Funeral Home in Charlotte. 51 families benefit from Christmas basket project held in Vermontville and food for 51 area families by Shelly Suiser Vermontville Chamber in need.

The groups hope to hold a “Career Day” activity at the school for local ninth grade students and area residents. Representing the Nashville Chamber of Commerce at the meeting were President Dave Mace and Vice President Dave Liebhauser, while Ver­ montville Chamber President Doug Durkee was accom­ panied by Pat O’Dell, Bea Gillaspie and Frances Snyder Olson. Maple Valley principals Larry Lenz, Ed Sampson, Joy Frith and Dave Doozan represented the schools, and Maple Valley Community Education representatives Jan Mittelstaedt and Hildred Peabody as well as Daryl and Kay Hartzler were also in at­ tendance. Sampson chaired the meeting. The group decided the Career Day project could be presented in two parts. The first would include communi­ ty people talking with ninth grade students in their classes. On another day, the second part would be held in the gym­ nasium and would be a time for the students and interested community people to visit booths set up by the citizens. The students would then have an opportunity to hear from many individuals as they discuss their various occupations. The group agreed they would like to have as many different occupations represented as possible. They hoped it would include many of the local business people who are in retailing, farming, service and manufacturing, and professions such as doc­ tors, dentists, etc., Kay Hartzler said. The chamber members are compiling lists of those in­ dividuals who they feel would be interested in participating. How do you guarantee a home for your family, even if you’re not there? No problem. Auto-Owners Mortgage Life Insurance goes beyond our homeowners insurance to make sure your family will have a home if something should ever happen to you. And, it's a very affordable protection to have. Just ask your "no problem" Auto-Owners agent to tell you how Mortgage Life Insurance can be no problem for your home and family. Members of the local Chambers of Commerce met with school officials recently to discuss a possible career day for students and information packets for new residents. From left are Hildred Peabody, community representative; Dave Liebhauser and Dave Mace, Nashville Chamber; Doug Durkee, Vermontville Chamber and Joy Frith, elementary school principal. These people will then be contacted. Liebhauser felt that “it was important, through student participation, that the pro­ gram be designed for what they would be interested in learning.” As a result, a committee will be made up of teachers and ninth grade students with Ed Sampson as chairman. The group also discussed collecting information about local businesses, local govern­ ment and community ac­ tivities to distribute to new 51 families benefit from Christmas basket project held in Vermontville from front page— Stan Trumble, Teresa Jones, Mary Trumble, Ken Trumble & Kelly Jones Trumble Agency 517“726“0580 (^Auto-Owners Insurance Lite Home Car Business 178 S.

Durkee said food and money donations were generated by the showing of movies earlier this month at the Carpenter’s Den. Admis­ sion to see “Short Circuit”, “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”, the “Wizard of Oz” and the “Karate Kid” was merely a can of food. “We had a good abundance and cash donations were more than I’ve seen,” Durkee said. He added $33 in donations was collected, admission to a free pancake breakfast at Neil’s Restaurant also includ­ ed canned food donations. members of the school district. The information would then be packaged so that the community represen­ tatives could deliver this in­ formation to the new families in the community. They are visiting those families at the present time, said Hartzler, and providing them with information about the schools. A committee was formed to put an information package together. This com­ mittee will be headed by Hildred Peabody and will also include representatives from the two chambers as well as the community representatives. The group plans to meet again in January to share in­ formation collected from sub committees and draw up fur­ ther plans.

Wetzel experienced a con­ flict between a new night job and his board duty, explained Township Clerk Susan Butler. Shilton said he agreed to the appointment because he was asked to serve although he has never considered running for public office in the past. He may, however, run for re­ election, he said. Shilton was a member ofthe Nashville Co-op Elevator board from the 1950’s until it dissolved with the sale of the elevator in 1986, he said. By profession, Shilton is a farmer, and is a member of Farm Bureau. He said he is concerned about local governments becoming puppets ofthe state. “They really can’t ac­ complish too much,” he said. “It seems like the state is gradually taking control of local government because of regulations passed by the state.” Shilton and his wife, Marge, have six children and 13 grandchildren.

According to CAA’s Womyn’s Concerns Director, Ginger Hentz, SPAN is a personalized program which can help women in transition who are facing divorce, relation­ ship change, being a single parent, re-entry into school, job training or employment. The intention of SPAN is to equip single parents and lowincome women with the per­ sonal and job skills which will enable them to become finan­ cially independent and economically independent. Each candidate for the pro­ gram is given an in-depth in­ terview with a program counselor to determine career interests and special needs. Assessment of aptitude and basic skill levels is also available to candidates prior to entry into the program. Roller skating for Nashville Tiger Cubs Much to the disappointment of the Tiger Scouts and Cub Scouts in Pack 3176 their Christmas Pack meeting had to be cancelled because school was cancelled because of snowy conditions. The next pack meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 19. At this meeting the Genius Kits will be judged. On Wednesday, Dec. 30 the Tiger Cubs and Cub Scouts are invited to roller skate at Rollerama in Hastings, from 7-9 p.m. Families of the scouts are welcome. The scouts should wear their scout shirts. Training is provided at Calhoun Area Vocational Center, and Kellogg Com­ munity College. According to Hentz, “Single parents face many obstacles in returning to school or looking for a job. In addition to child care and transportation, they often need help in setting goals for themselves and building their self-confidence before taking on the responsibilities of school or employment.” Since the program began in January 1985, SPAN has placed more than 200 people in training programs and had assisted an additional 150 women through workshop participation, support network development, and in­ dividualized services. There are no educational, income or age requirements for entry in­ to SPAN. Applications for the program may be obtained from the CAA (220 W. Court Street, Hastings, MI 49058) or by calling the SPAN Office at 948-9509. Thank You ...
