Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 121 - No. 24 — Tuesday, January 12. 1993 Australian teen visits Nashville for 7 weeks By Teresa Frith The Vermontville Lions Club has helped Simeon Curr of Austrialia realize his dream of seeing America through the Youth Exchange program. Curr arrived in the United States oh Dec. 7 and is being sponsored by Nashville residents Phil and Bobbie Weller. He will stay with them for seven weeks. “This is the second foreign exchange student that we have sponsored,’’said Bobbie Weller. “We have been foster parents in the past and were approached by the Lions Club to see if we would like to try sponsoring one of these kids.” The Wellers have a son of their own. Cliff, who is a sophomore at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. Cliff is an only child, so having so­ meone share his home is a new experience. “I like having Simeon here, “said Cliff. “It’s a way to get to know about another country and its culture.” Simeon and the Wellers have been enjoying sightsee- ing around the state and shopping. “We went to the Upper Peninsula near Saginaw Bay and saw Lake Huron,” said Simeon. “We also went to Frankenmuth for Christmas shopping and I got to go to a Michigan State University basketball game. “He is a wonderful kid with a great personality,” said Bobbie. “He brought the whole family Christmas presents from his family, helped me babysit during the holidays and gets along very well with everyone.” Bobbie says that Simeon’s visit has only’been marred by the fact that Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School would not allow him to take classes dur­ ing his stay here. “I talked to the principal. Larry Lentz, about letting Si­ meon attend school,’’said Bobbie. “He told us that no purpose would be served by a student attending school for only seven weeks. We were all very disapointed with that decision and it doesn't seem fair.” Vermontville closer to burning ban grant by Teresa Frith Vermontville officials came a step, closer last week to be­ ing approved for a Solid Waste Alternative Grant from the Michigan Department of Natural Resouces. Trustee Ruth Wineman in­ formed the Village Council at last week’s montly meeting that the village had received a request for additional infor­ mation from the DNR. The village was asked to furnish information such as a justification of need and to submit resumes on Depart- ment of Public Works officials. The proposed $ 13,400 grant would help the village comply with Michigan’s Open Burn­ ing Act of 1993. The state law to band landfilling and pro­ hibit open burning of leaves, grass clippings and brush will take effect next year. By 1996, all open burning will be banned. Grant funds would help the village buy equipment to col­ lect debris at curbside, establish an approved composte site, and pay for brochures to help educate the public about the new law. “We are one-third of the way to obtaining .this grant,“said Wineman. “The funding will be available next October and we should know by the end ofJanuary ifwe are going to get the grant.” The information requested must be submitted by March. Officials made plans to discuss the matter and see what type of equipment is be­ ing used in other communities. In other business at last Thursday’s meeting the cou ouncil: — Discussed parking pro­ blems on the main village streets caused by special events, such as auctions, at the Opera House. The council agreed to look further into the matter after several residents, including business' owners, made complaints. — Approved adoption of a civil rights resolution as part of the village’s downtown revitalization plan. Phil and Bobbie Weller stand behind their son. Cliff (right) and their guest from Australia, Simeon Carr. Si­ meon is here with the Youth Exchange Program. Cliff agreed with his mother and added, “None of my friends at school understand why Simeon can’t come to school. They think it would be great if he could come and talk to them about Australia.

Maple Valley usually has only two or three such students each year, according tojunior-senior high guidance counselor Ward Rooks. “Most of these students ar­ rived here in August and will leave sometime in June,” Rooks said. “They are treated just like any other new students and pay no tuition because they are considered dependents oftheir local spon­ sor family. The only dif­ ference is that I like for them to come in about a week before school starts in order for me to talk to them about the differences in lanuage and culture.” All are seniors except for one attending as a sophomore. They come here under dif­ ferent student programs and are all living in the Nashville area with local families. According to Rooks, each is carrying a full load of classes, just like any other Maple Valley student. “The only probelem we have run across is trying to get them classes that will transfer Six foreign exchange students from four countries are attending Maple Valley High School this year. They are(from left) Takashi Koide, Elia Oliva, Alexandra Stasko, Miren De La Rue, and Maria Martinez. as credits at their home schools,’’ he said. “Sometimes receiving credit is as simple as changing the name of a subject. We had a case where their schools would not except Earth Science, but would allow them credit if the course were renamed Geology instead.” All six students seem to be excited about attending school and living in the United States. “I wanted to come here for a year so that I could learn about the culture and meet new friends,” said Alexandra Staszko, who is on her second visit to the U.S. from her hometown of Warsaw, Poland. “People are very friendly here and it gives me a chance to experience life in a small town, since I am from a big city.” Staszko’s host family is Gary and Etha Secord of Nashville and she came here through the Rotary Interna­ tional Club in Poland. Miren De La Rua from Bilbao, Spain, also is in the United States for her second time. She was previously in New Hampshire under a sixweek program last year. “I like the school here because it is much easier than in Spain,” said De La Rua. “I also like my family and friends here very much. I found the food here very dif­ ferent with a lot more junk food.’’ Her host family is Sue Furlong of Nashville, and she comes here through the Youth For Understanding program. Elia Oliva is from Madrid, Spain, and is here through the Pacific International Ex­ change program. She also has been to the United States before, in 1989, when she and her parents came for a Christmas visit. Her local family is Bill and Laurie Kipp and their daughter, Amy, of Nashville. “I love to travel and to learn different lanuages and cultures,” said Oliva. “I like the school here because it is more relaxed and friendly. I would like to live in the United States some day.” A Stockhom, Sweden, native, Lena Norlund is the veteran of the group. Here through the International Ex­ change Forum, it is her fourth visit in the United States. “I like school here very much,” said Norlund. “It is very different to come here to a small town. It is also fun to shop here because things are much cheaper than they are in Sweden.” According to Norlund, most of the group’s parents paid close to $5,000 in air fare, fees and insurance costs for each of them to come to the See Visiting students, Page 2 In This Issue... • Four new teachers joins the ranks at Kellogg Elementary • Used book store opens locally • Australian teen visits Nashville for 7 weeks • Elvis stamps go on sale here • City Bank installs Automatic Teller Machine �The Maple Valley News.

The new sixth-grade teacher is Laurie Pettengill, who replaced a teacher who transferred to the Lakewood district. Pettengill has substituted in the Maple Valley area for the past one and one-half years in grades DK through sixth, as well as classes in music, art and physical education. She has a bachelor of arts degree and her teacher’s certification comes from Olivet college. “I love being a full-time teacher and was happy to get a position,” said Pettengill. “It’s nice to be able to come to the same class every day with the same students instead of just being a substitute teacher.” Judy Tuckey is a fifth-grade teacher. She was a student teacher in first grade at PotterMaple Valley Athletic Boosters BINGO MAPLE VALLEY H.S.

She also has worked in special education at Maplewood Elementary in Vermontville. “I prefer being a full-time teacher over a substitute,” said Tuckey. “I like Kellogg school very much and think that the staff is great. ” Tuckey has a bachelor of science degree from Michigan State University, a bachelor of arts from Olivet in elementary education, and is enrolled in a master’s degree program at Western Michigan University. Another new fifth-grade teacher is Duska Brumm. This is Brumm’s first teaching position since she graduated from Michigan State in 1992 with a bachelors of arts degree. She did her student teaching with Dave Hustwick last year at Kellogg. Brumm now is working toward her master’s degree at WMU. “Teaching is great,’-’said Brumm. “I was lucky to get a position so soon after graduating.” Brumm also coaches junior varsity girls’ volleyball and freshman girls’ basketball at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. Mary Monroe was chosen as the new special- education teacher for the mixed fifthand sixth-grade class held in the portable at Kellogg. She graduated in June from Michigan State University with a bachelor of arts degree in elementary education. Her degree also carries with it a special endorsement in special education. “Working as a classroom aid in the Charlotte school system helped me to make up my mind to become a full­ time teacher,’’said Monroe. “I chose special education because of the challenge in working with that population of students. I felt there was a great need for special educa­ tion teachers.” Kellogg Principal Bernadine Hynes added, “I have observed all the new teachers and am very impressed. I have observed in all of their classrooms and have given them excellent evaluations.” Doors Open 5:30 • Early Birds 6:00 We Give Mature Drivers, Home Owners And Mobile Home Owners A+ Savings. , Each year of maturity seems to present, new challenges.

We get to meet new friends and almost everyone likes us. Unfortunately, there are: some students who don’t like us, but most are very friendly.” Norland's host family is Bill and Janet Eastman of Nashville. Maria Martinez also is here from Madrid, Spain, under the Pacific International Ex­ change. It is her first time in the United States. “I came here to learn better English and to learn about another culture,” said Mar­ tinez. “It is more boring here because it is a small town, but is is also safer and more friendly than a larger city. I think school here is fun.” Martinez’s host family is Jim and Shirley Molloy of Nashville. Her friends say that when she first came here she spoke very little English. Now she understands most of what is said and is doing well. The only male in the group, sophomore Takashi Koide, is from Tokyo, Japan. He is in the United States for his first time and came here through the Youth Exchange Service. “School is much diffemt here than it is in Japan,” said Koide. “In Japan we have 15 subjects a week and go to school on Saturdays.

All of the group have been asked lots of questions, rang­ ing from the normal ones about customs in their respec­ tive countries' to the absurd ones. “Sometimes people treat us like we are from another planet instead ofjust another country,” said Norlund. “We’ve been asked silly questions such as ‘Do you have the same sun?’ and ‘Are your trees the same color’?” The entire group expressed their lack of understanding as to why many of the local peo­ ple are not interested in travel­ ing either overseas or even to other parts of the United States. “Some people here are closed-minded and don’t seem to want to go to other places, said one ofthe visitors. “Peo­ ple should get involved more and at least see other parts of the United States if they can’t afford to go overseas.” One shared problem for the group is difficulty in getting around in the area. “Most ofus are not allowed to drive in the United States because of insurance pro- CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE 301 Fuller St., Nashville Sunday School .. .9:45 a.m. Sunday: A.M.

Rice is grown in more than 100 countries. In the United States, rice is grown in Arkansas, California, Florida, Lousiana, Mississip­ pi, Missouri and Texas. Rice is available in different varieties, short, medium and long grain. Each variety has special uses. The short and medium grain rice is best for puddings, casseroles and molded rice dishes because the rice grains tend to stick together. Long grain rice is preferred for its fluffiness and l grains not sticking together when served as a side dish, in salads, soups or in main dishes. In addition to the three varieties there are different types of rice available — brown, enriched white, par­ boiled (converted), and ins­ tant. Brown rice has only the outer hull removed, leaving most of the bran in germ. Brown rice has slightly more oil, fiber and minerals. Enriched white rice has the hull, bran and germ removed.

Cooked rice can be stored for one week in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to six months in the freezer when placed in a freezer container. A general rule of thumb when preparing rice — one cup of uncooked rice will make three to six servings depending on whether it is served as a side dish or as a basis of a one dish meal. One pound of rice equals two to two and a halfcups ofuncook­ ed rice. When using rice remember to measure rice and liquid carefully so all the liquid will be absorbed, do not wash rice before using as it washes away the nutrients, try flavoring owiklWSft ' r cess. Process, par-boiled or converted rice has been steamed under pressure, than dried. Instant or pre-cooked rice cooks in about half the time of regular white rice. It is the most expensive form of rice and often is packaged with salt and other seasonings added. Proper storage is important to keeping rice in good quali­ ty. Uncooked white rice should be stored in a tightly closed container., If moisture is kept out, the maximum storage time for good flavor is opeyear. Rice will keep up to two years, however, the quali­ ty will not be as good. Uncooked brown rice keeps a short time, because it con­ tains more oil than white rice.

(fB 1 a atIufiMninj BUrfili1 ' Imagine a community with no local control over its schools. Picture paying an education bill without local men and women to make spending decisions for you and other citizens like you. Think about an education system where all policy is set at the state or national level. Imagine putting your children in the hands of someone you don’t know. Ifyou don’t like the way your schools would be run without them, show your appreciation for your local elected school trustees during January, School Board Member Recognition Month. These are people who make education their business, in­ vesting countless hours of their time and often their own resources, to set direction for your children and your local public schools. They establish policies that reflect your beliefs and set goals that project your community’s vision for the future. They spend long hours, after their own work days, making decisions on issues that will eventually affect everything from local business to the quality of life in your community. Most of their efforts go unrewarded. Often, the only response school board members get is criticism. But what would you do without them? Where would you go with your concerns? Your questions? Your complaints? Who else would be so “in tune” with both the prospects and the problems of your community? With the successes and failures of your businesses? With the special needs of your employers? With the fears and hopes and dreams of your families? Why do they do it? To quote one of our local members, Bon­ nie Leep, “One of my priorities is education for kids and everyone. It is the ticket to help us grow and improve our lives. With my input, I hope that I can help everyone in our com­ munity to have a better education. ” I believe that Mrs. Leep has aptly expressed the feelings and goals of the majority of board members across our state. When you elected me, you picked people to act for you in your absence. You chose men and women you knew you could trust with the vitality of your community and the development of your children. But you probably didn’t realize that your school board would play such an important role in the uniquely American school governance system that guarantees you local control of your schools. Now is the time to recognize your board of education by say­ ing thanks to: Joseph Briggs, Ted Spoelstra, Carroll J. Wolff, John Krolik, Ronald J. Tobias, Bonnie Leep and David D. Tuckey. Without them, you would lose a vital link to your schools Ik^W* U iil«Kp Hr Webo® 1 S W1 1 ** s -insta^ Ws® 1 ** W*'1 feT#*** tg|l* ^-r; fcl#i II* MjWM **’’ n**: *** -fc*** ,0ts REDKEN PRODUCTS HAIR & NAILS Rene’s Country Salon Migraine symptom linked to Glial CellS c nw«rrampa e pheonomenon, also marks the first time a specific behavior of vertebrate nervous tissue has been confidently at­ tributed to glial excitability. The migraine aura, experienced by more than one out of four migraine sufferers, usually consists of a hallucinatory sensory distur­ bance that spreads gradually across the field of vision or creeps slowly across the body surface.

This is the largest number we have ever enrolled during a single school year,” Lentz said. “It was felt that in order for an educational experience to have a significant impact, the length of enrollment needs to be of adequate duration,” he added. “The proposed 40 days of enrollment did not meet this guideline.” Simeon said that he wanted to travel overseas and see another country ever since his brother went to Sweden as a foreign exchange student. "Things are different here in the United States than they are in my home town of Robin­ vale, Australia,” said Si­ meon. "It’s colder here, and the houses in Australia are all only one story. The cost of living is less here, you have more TV channels and more fast food restaurants.” Simeon said that Robinvale is in the southern part of Australia and is known for growing grapes for raisins, wheat and citrus fruits. "Our population is about 1,700 people in the main part of town, and about 4,000 if you include the farms sur­ rounding it.” The Wellers said that they are enjoying Simeon’s stay. For Sale 200 E.

Five Kellogg School students win recycling essay contest by Teresa Frith Recycling has become an important issue over the last few years, and Kellogg Elementary students recently put their feelings on paper to tell the world how they thought it helps the environment. The children entered an essay contest sponsored by members of the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School’s recently formed Earth Watch science club. Earth Watch members spoke to Kellogg students on recycling and preserving the world’s rain forests. “Students were given the opportunity to write an essay about either the value of recycling or preserving the rain forests,” said Kellogg fifth-grade teacher Laurie Kipp. “About 10 students participated, with most writing about recycling.” Essays were judged by Earth Watch Club members on content, expression of the topic and how factual the arti­ cle was. Five winners, Aaron Treloar,, Steven Frith, Michelle Jewell, Leah Smith and Tiffani Coats, were selected. They were treated to a pizza party at Kellogg School for their prize. Kipp said the Earth Watch Club is interested in starting a similar environmental group at Kellogg.

But if you do need to drive, there are several steps you can take to ensure your safety. First of all, check your gas tank. It should be full, even for short trips. Before you leave, you should also check: lights, heater, wiper blades, brakes and antifreeze. You should also make sure you hae an emergency kit in your car with: ice scraper/snow brush, sand, cat litter or other traction-gaining aid; shovel; jumper cables; tow chains; road maps; flashlight and fresh batteries; matches; first-aid supplies; blankets or sleeping bags; boots, hat, mittens or gloves; bottled water; nonperishable, high-energy food. Once you’ve checked your car and emergency kit, you’re ready to leave. Or are you? Before setting out, consider each poor driving condition you’ll be facing.

Junior Farmers to meet Jan. 18 NAAN Pet of the Week available, free of charge, from MSU Extension Eaton County, 126 N. Bostwick, Charlotte. Commercial varieties voluntarily were entered and supplied by seed companies. Public varieties were supplied by the Michigan Foundation Seed Association. The 1992 growing condi­ tions resulted in lower than expected yields. Maturity at the central Michigan locations were especially delayed by the cool conditions with some of the later maturing varieties frosted before maturity. When selecting a variety, the primary consideation should be yield. Most consis­ tent performers will yield well over several years and under various environmental conditions. Give preference to date ob­ tained in the nearby variety trial as an indicator of perfor­ mance on your farm. Use all trials in determining a variety's performance under various environmental conditions. It often benefits growers to select a few good varieties for planting each year. 4-H Floriculture workshop All 4-H members, leaders and parents are invited to at­ tend a 4-H floriculture workshop, Saturday, Jan. 23, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. atKardal Hall on the Charlotte Fairgrounds.

Lions open SMAA play with win over Bellevue eagers Maple Valley opened its SMAA season Friday night with a come-from-behind 61 52 victory over Bellevue. The Lions fell behind in the third quarter by as many as 10 points, but used a 19-5 spurt in the fourth period to pull out the victory. "It could have been any­ body's bailgame at the end," coach Jerry Reese said. "We just kept on hustling and were fortunate to win." Maple Valley uncharacter­ istically came out on fire in the first eight minutes, taking a 20-9 lead at the end of the first quarter, and leading 35­ 27 at the half. But in the third period Bellevue caught fire and took control of the contest. "We couldn't do anything, and they were executing and hitting from the outside," Reese said. But the Broncos offensive fireworks slowed down dra­ matically in the final eight minutes,. One key play in the game was a steal by Maple Valley's Gabe Priddy, who then scored on a layup to tie it at 52-all. Mike Trowbridge then came up with a steal and tossed the ball to Justin Lake, who put the Lions up for good. For the rest of the game, the Lions made free throws while holding Bellevue scoreless. They made seven of 11 at the line in the final quarter, but for the game they were 10 fr 22. "That hurt us, but at least we made them down the stretch," Reese said. John Mitchell pumped in 14 points to pace Maple Valley's attaack. Priddy fin­ ished with 13 points, Trowbridge had 10, Lake nine and Scott English seven. Priddy also had four steals, five assists and five re­ bounds. Mitchell! had five rebounds and Lake came up with four rebounds and two steals. "He (Lake) really played well for us," Reese said. Larry Roush, who scored 10 points for Bellevue in the third period alone, was high point for the game with 20. Maple Valley made 23 of 53 shots from the floor, for 43 percent. Bellevue, mean­ while, made only 18 of 51 for 35 percent. The Broncos won the battle of the boards, 24-22. Maple Valley, 2-4 overall and 1 -0 in the league, will be at home tonight to play Portland St. Patrick. The Lions will entertain Lansing Christian Friday evening. A miserable first quarter again took its toll on Maple Valley's basketball team Tuesday night in a 66-46 loss to Portland. The Lions fell behind 24-6 in the opening eight minutes, but were outscored just 42-40 in the other three periods. "It would have been a good ballgame if it hadn't been for that first quarter," said coach Lion spikers unbeaten in 4 tries Maple Valley won two more dual matches Thursday evening to move its season record to 4-0. The Lions defeated Olivet 15- 7, 15-3 and Ionia 13-15, 16- 14 and 15-9. Coach Carol Kraai said she was much more impressed with her team's performance against Ionia than Olivet. "Against Olivet, we just played really flat," she said. "We were lucky. "We just didn't have the en­ thusiasm. We we'ren't ag­ gressive. We didn't play up to our potential. There just wasn't any spark." Renee Rosin and Lori Carpenter both had three aces serving. Jennifer Phenix had four kills and setter Stephanie Bouwens three assists. It was the Ionia contest that pleased the coach the most. "They had a tall team with good spikers," she said. The Lions lost the first set and trailed 10-6 in the second before they turned things around. "The girls decided they didn't want to lose," Kraai said. "I couldn't have been any prouder of their turnaround, and they did it all themselves." The coach praised the ef­ fort off the bench by Holly Taylor,, who made some key blocky. Carpenter and Phenix both had three aces against Ionia, Phenix also had 11 kills and Bouwens 16 assists. Maple Valley moved its season record to 2-0 with a 15-7, 15-3 decision over Dansville last week Monday. "We were really moving well on the court for a change," said coach Carol Kraai. "We were communi­ cating well, and our serving was oustanding." ’xading the way in serving were Renee Rosin with four aces and Mindy Shoup with three. Jennifer Phenix paced the hitting attack with 11 kills and Rosin had five. Kraai made special men­ tion of the defensive efforts of Lori Carpenter, Holly Taylor and Jenny Mittelstaedt. Setter Stephanie Bouwens had 11 assists. 15-4. Leading scorers were Dana Hasselback with eight and Wendy Purchis with six. The next match, on Jan. 7 against Olivet, resulted in a tough loss. The Lions came out strong and won the first match, 15-11. Mindy Garvey had an ex­ cellent game as setter, with 13 sets. Amanda Greenman had a great passing game with 12 passes and six points as server. The next match was lost by a close score of 15-13. The Lady Lions couldn’t come up with enough steam to pull off the third set and lost 15-9. Leading scorers for the night were Rachel Thompson with 13, Amanda Greenman with six and Andrea Hubka with five. The Lions will take on Lan­ sing Christian at Lansing Christian Thursday, at 6 p.m. and participate in the Hastings tournament Saturday. Jayvee eagers split 2 games The Maple Valley junior varsity basketball team split a pair of games last week. On Tuesday night the Lions lost to Portland, 36-24. The Red Raiders jumped out to the early 10-0 lead aS the Lions never got started in the first half, trailing 10-2 at the end of one and 21-9 at the half. In the second half, the Lions scored the first four points pulling to withing eight, 21-13, but that was as close as they got. Dick Baker led the Lions with 11 points and Scott Heyboer and Aaron Tobias added four each. Friday night the Lions defeated Bellevue to open the 1992-93 league contests. The Lions jumped out to the early lead, 17-15 at the end of one, but fell behind 30-29 at the half. The third quarter was all “Valley” as they turned up reason. We're still developing" Not helping things was that Portland canned 18 of 26 shots in the first half for a sizzling 69 percent. The team finished with 25 of 50 for an even 50 percent while Maple Valley was a cold 30 percent, on 16 of 54. Portland also outrebounded the Lions 23-16, but since it was shooting so well there weren't many boards for Maple Valley to get. Reese pointed out that his team got six of the eight misses Portland had in the first half. Gabe Priddy scored 12 points to lead the Lions, Mike Trowbridge had nine and Greg Garn eight. Sophomore Cory Hamilton handed out four assists. Maple Valley, now 1 -4 for the campaign overall, will be at Bellevue Friday night for an SMAA contest. Freshmen Lions win pair The Maple Valley freshman basketball players again pull­ ed off another win last week, this time against Portland. They jumped out to a 14-6 lead over host Portland in the first quarter, and mauled the Red Raiders in the second building a 34:15 lead by halftime. Center Adam Driksna scored 11 of his game high 17 points during this scoring frenzy. Both teams played evenly in the second half. Portland cut into the lead midway through the last quarter, but couldn’t get no closer than 10 before MV pulled away and closed the door. The final score was 56-37. Adam Thayer scored a basket and dished out several assiss as he ran the offense well from his point guard position. Jay Hokanson scored 11 and Brian Hopkins added 10. Wayne Moore hit a couple of three-pointers and finished with 11 points. On Friday, the young Lions started league play as they traveled to Bellevue to take on the Broncos. Again the “mighty 8” took the court against larger numbers and for the third game in a row and were able to rise to the occa­ sion. After building a 16-point lead during the first two quarters, the Lions found themselves pushed by a deter­ the first half and were forced mined Bellevue squad bent on to sit out. getting back into the game.

Students’ MEAP scores higher in 9-11 area this year By Teresa Frith Maple Valley students received higher Michigan Education Assessment Pro­ gram (MEAP) test scores than last year in nine of 11 categories, the school board learned last week. The tests are given each year to fourth-, seventh- and lOth-graders in reading, science and math. Fifth-, eighth- apd llth-grade students are tested in science. Though statewide scores have not been released yet for 1992, Maple Valley exceeded last year’s state average in seven of the 11 areas tested. The two areas that were not improved and were below last year’s state averages were lOth-grade math and reading. Fourth-grade students scored 89.4 this year in the old math test versus 86.4 last year. Last year’s state average was 82.9. In the new essential skills math test, scores this year were much higher, with a 54.9 versus last year’s 25.8. State average score in 1991 was 36.3. Fourth-grade reading scores were slightly higher than last year, with a 34.5 versus a 31.8. The 1991 state average for fourth-grade reading was 34.7. Seventh-grade math scores were 76.6 this year in the old math versus 69.1 last year. The 1991 state average was 70.2. Scores in this year’s Maple Valley Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks shows this year s MEAP scores to the School Board during Monday's meeting. essential math skills test were slightly better than last year’s, with 37.5 versus 32.5. Last year’s state average was 32. Seventh-grade reading scores this year were nearly the same as last year’s, at 30.5 versus 30.3. Last year’s state average was 29.9. Fifth-grade science scores were up considerably this year, with 63.8 versus 54.8. However, both of the scores were below the 1991 state average of 69.4. Eighth-grade science scores in 1992 were above both last year’s local scores and the state average. This year students scored 63.6 versus 53 in local 1991 scores and the state average of 53.5. Eleventh-grade science scores this year were much higher than last year’s mark, with 43.3 versus 28.7. 1991 state average score was 40.3. Tenth-grade math students scored 79 .'8 this year versus 74.5 in 1991. This showed more than a 10 point increase over last year’s state average of 69.2. Tenth-grade reading scores however, showed a marked decrease this year. Students scored 28.3 versus last year’s marks of 40.6. The 1991 state average was 38.7. MEAP scores are becoming more and more important since new requirements came out last year, mandating that students pass the high school tests in order to receive a state-sponsored diploma. Districts will award a stateendorsed diploma to 1994-96 graduates only if the student does at least one of the following: 1. chieves at least category II on the lOth-grade MEAP reading test, at least 50 percent of the objectives of the lOth-grade math test and at least 50 percent of the objec­ tives on the 1 Ith-grade MEAP science test. 2. Receives a passing score on a locally developed and state approved basic profi­ ciency test. 3. Receives a passing score on the General Education Development (GED) Test, if eligible to take it. Students who do not reach these levels may be re­ evaluated each school year until reaching the appropriate level. Until the 1997 graduating class, students not reaching these levels will still receive a Maple Valley school diploma if they meet school standards for graduation. However, they would not receive the state endorsed seal. “We are not sure how employers will use the state endorsed diplomas,” said Maple Valley Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks. “However, by 1997 students won’t be able to get a diploma at all if they don’t meet the state standards.” See MEAP scores, Page 2 In This Issue... • Girl Scouts begin annual cookie sale throughout area • Nashville PTO picks fall fundraiser winners • Local children compete in speech contest at Vermontville open house • Kindergarten round-up to start at Maple Valley soon �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, January 19, 1993 — Page 2 MEAP SCORES. in this year's testing, 38 percent of the have not ylt nief rrynjmlun ' requirements, io .mat}] arid 29 « percent hAe nbf met thefn in • reading, i •'? ’ a " After a| second retest, the . number of 1 Uh grad.efs who > still don't Qualify ualify is~ji percent | in math, 10 percent in reading and 15 percent in science.

In other business last week Monday, the board: — Discussed the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters’ re- quest for matching funds to go along with their offer of $40,000 toward a new track and field facility at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. The Boosters were told that the board did not feel it could take on such a request at this time because of financial restrairltsl The Boosters are still seek­ ing approval of a site and said they are willing to continue with the project without money from the board if necessary. The board will meet with representatives from the Boosters later this month to discuss possible sites for consideration. — Heard a report from Adult and Community Educa­ tion Director Terry Mix on the status of this year’s classes. .Several new courses are being offered this year to attract new students. Some of theses are Crop and Soil Science, Painting and Draw­ ing and Photography. Mix discussed the need for more gymnasium space to ac­ commodate more programs such as the proposed latchkey program.

It's the place to go when you're in some kind of trouble, to seek God's guidance. It's also the place to talk to your clergyman, who may very well have some good advice to give you, and will pray for you. However, friendship should be reciprocal, and times of trouble are by no means the only times we should attend our House of Worship. When things are going well, we should go there and thank the Lord for our blessings. Moreover, we should see what we can do to help, to the extent ofour ability and physical condition: for example, typing or making phone calls. Your House of Worship has indeed been your friend, so see if you can be a friend in return. A time like this demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands. —Josiah Q.

The course consists of four hours of lecture and four hours of practical skills. Upon completing the class, par­ ticipants receive a card stating that they are qualified to do CPR.

Powers. “The more people trained in CPR, the better.” CPR is the administration of lifesaving measures of cardiac compression massage and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to someone collapsing with a heart attack. It is vital to restore the circulation of oxygen-carrying blood to the brain as quickly as possible because permananent brain damage is likely if the brain is starved of oxygen for more than four minutes. “We have more and more students in the Maple Valley School district with special needs, as well as more veteran staff members,’* said Maplewood principal Nancy Potter. “Classes such as this are needed to prepare us for an emergency.” Those interested in learning CPR should contact their local American Red Cross or American Heart Association to set up a certified instructor.

Parks The recent ice and snow storm which resulted in the cancellation of school reminded us of the need for understan­ ding and communication on the part of the school and home. Let’s start with the reasons why we have these days. They are the result of weather conditions such as snow, ice or fog, which make it impossible or unsafe to transport our students. Obviously, there are degrees of safe conditions that have to be considered. It is never possible to say that conditions are 100 percent safe. Therefore it is a judgement call as to whether or not considerations are reasonably safe. The decision as to whether or not conditions are safe is made first by our transportation supervisor in cooperation with his staff. They check conditions early in the morning. If they believe they are unsafe or questionable, they contact me. In questionable situations, I also check the conditions prior to making a final decision. I have the responsibility for the final decision. Let me assure you that if conditions are questionable, we put the safety of our children first. Present state requirements allow schools to have two incle­ ment weather days before they must be made up. In-formula schools which do not make up the days beyond two are deducted the state aid for the days involved. The determination as to when days are made up is a local decision. It normally is a part of the calendar, which is negotiated with the teachers union. Our present calendar calls for such days to be made up at the end of the school year. Announcements about the cancellation or postponement of school because of inclement weather are called in to the follow­ ing radio and television stations: Radio: WBCH, Hastings; WNLF, Charlotte; WBCK, Battle Creek; WMMQ, WITL, and WVIC, Lansing; and all Grand Rapids area stations. TV: Channel 3, Kalamazoo; Channel 6, Lansing; Channels 8, 13 an 17, Grand Rapids; Channel 10. Lansing/Jackson; and Channel 41, Battle Creek. Your understanding and cooperation in this area is appreciated. ! /~~A Phase II Lffllwl Resale Clothing Tailoring “We hope that this com­ petition will become an annual event, "said Kellogg principal Bemadine Hynes. “We are all very excited about the poten­ tial here.

January 19, 1993 — Page 10 This Week in SPORTS... Lion eagers lose, but show improvement against L. Christian Maple Valley’s apparently has showed some improve­ ment in the last month. But that might be little con­ solation to coach Jerry Reese and the Lions, who lost Friday night to Lansing Christian, 82-70. That score can be con­ trasted with Maple Valley’s 71-45 defeat at the hands of the same opponent Dec. 15 in Lansing. One of the keys to the Pilgrims’ victory was their ability to break the Lions’ full-court pressure and cash in with easy baskets. Another telling statistic showed at the free throw line, where Chris­ tian made 22 of 32 while Maple Valley had 12 of 16. Both squads scored 27 field goals, but the Pilgrims had six three-pointers to the Lions’ three. .Lansing Christian led 20-14 at the end of the first quarter and 43-28 at the half. Maple Valley outscored the Pilgrims 21-20 and 21-19 in the last two periods. Gabe Priddy led a balanced offensive attack for Maple Valley with 14 points. Mike Trowbridge contributed 11 points, Greg Gam had 10 and Joel Butler nine. For Lansing Christian, Brad Rohda scored 25 points, Tim Palmer added 23 and Sean Kribs 10. The loss dropped Maple Valley’s overall season record to 2-6. The Lions tonight will be at Galesburg-Augusta and they will resume SMAA action Friday evening with a contest at Battle Creek St. Phillip. Maple Valley couldn’t hold a four-point lead in the last two minutes Tuesday night and dropped a 60-58 heart­ breaker to Portland St. Patrick. The Lions went on a brief spurt late in the fourth quarter to take a 56-52 advantage. Coach Jerry Reese said his players had an excellent chance to go up by six at a critical point when they came up with a. steal, but a missed layup was answered on the other end by the Shamrocks. So instead of a six-point lead, Maple Valley was cling­ ing to a two-point lead after a four-point turnaround. St. Pat was able to tie the Lions at 58-all, and then Maple Valley missed a shot with 15 seconds remaining. The Shamrocks’ Andy Mosser hit a 10-foot jumper with about five seconds left for the game winner. The Lions fell behind 22-17 and 34-24 after the first two periods. They made only two of 17 field goal attempts in the second quarter and they were guilty of 17 turnovers in the first half, Reese said. Maple Valley came back in the third quarter to pull to within two, 45-43, setting the stage for the late game drama. It was the Lions’ fifth loss of the season overall against two victories. “We’re playing hard right now,” Reese said. “Good things will happen if we con­ tinue. We just have to have our shots fall.” Sophomore point guard Gabe Priddy dropped in 17 points and dished out Ove assists. Mike Trowbridge had 12 points and eight rebounds, Scott English came up with 10 points and Justin Lake and Jon Mitchell each scored six points. Mitchell also had three steals. For St. Pat., Jason Schrauben tallied 18 points and Mosser finished with 12. Maple Valley made 23 of 57 field goal attempts for 40 per­ cent. The Shamrocks were 23 of 53 for 43 percent. The Lions had 31 team re­ bounds to St. Pat’s 29. Maple Valley's Scott English (11) drives to the hoop, but gets his shot rejected by a Lansing Christian defender.

"Generations off Quality" GOOD DEALS... ANDA GOOD DEAL MORE Maple Valley’s volleyball team ran into some of the best competition it will see all year in last Saturday’s 28-team Cereal City Classic. Maple Valley, a Class C school, played against Class A teams three times and a Class B group once. The one time the Lions met a Class C school, they won. A very tall and talented East Kentwood group, the state’s No. 3-ranked Class A unit, beat the Lions 15-4, 15-3 to start the day. “They didn’t even have to jump off the floor to slam it down your face,” said coach Carol Kraai, who noted that her tallest player is Holly Taylor at 5-9 while Kentwood sported several six-footers. She added, “My girls were intimidated just watching East Kentwood warming up.” The competition in pool play didn’t get any easier. Next up was Class B St. Joseph, which defeated the Lions 15-5, 15-0. Then it was Class A Ypsilanti’s turn in a 15-3, 15-5 verdict. It was in the consolation round that Maple Valley finally got to play a “C” school, Bellevue, a fellow member of the SMAA. The Lions came up with a 13-15, 15-3, 15-10 victory. In the second round of con­ solation play they met Ypsilanti again. But this time they gave the Class A school all the competition it wanted, losing 16-14 and 15-12. “My girls really knew what to expect the second time around,” Kraai said. “They gave 150 percent out there. They gave everything they had.” The coach praised the hit­ ting of Jennifer Phenix, the serving of Lori Carpenter and the setting of Stephanie Bouwens. In a dual match two days earlier, Maple Valley defeated Lansing Christian 15-7, 15-2, to run their season record to 6-4. Phenix collected five kills and Renee Rosin had four, Mindy Shoup had three ser­ vice aces and Bouwens had 10 assists. Kraai said all 10 of her players made contributions in the victory. The Lions will play Thurs­ day at Hopkins and will com­ pete in the Hopkins tourna­ ment on Saturday. COBB Richard R. Cobb, owner'* Mich.

It was a short week of basketball. Due to conflicts in the gym schedual and poor weather. The Lions were only able to get one practice in for the week. This hampered play in both games, as their shooting percentages were 32 and 33 percent. Turnovers were also at a season high, 23 and 38 in the two games. In Tuesday's game the Lions kept the game close in the opening quarter and only trailed by five but a 16-8 Pirates run in the the second stanza proved to be too much. The second half was played evenly as both teams scored 25 points. Adam Driksna was high scorer with 11 points. Adam Thayer had his season high with nine points. Jay Hokanson added eight points; Wayne Moore and Brian Hopkins had 6 points each. Driksna also had seven re­ bounds and Hopkins dished out three assists. Friday’s game was marred by turnovers. Both teams were called for countless traveling violations. The key to the Lion’s win was frigid free-throw shooting by Vikings. They were three of 23 for 13 percent. On the other hand, the Lions shot 22 and made 13 for 59 percent. After making only seven of 28 (25 percent) of their field goal attempts in the first half, the Lions trailed by three 22-19. During the second half the Lion’s shooting touch came back as they hit 12 of 28 Lion jayvee eagers split games The Maple Valley basket­ ball team split a pair of games with Portland St. Patrick and Lansing Christian last week. On Tuesday night, the 5-1 Shamrocks of St. Pat came to town. They jumped out to the early lead, 16-13, at the end of one, and extended it to 34-27 at the half. The Lions turned up the intensity in the third, though going on a 22-13 run and then playing even in the fourth to win the game, 62-61. Dick Baker led the Lions with 22 points. Scott Heyboer added 14 and Jeff Pennington and Ben Kuempel had six each.

The clinic, held at WhiteNew Idea headquarters in Coldwater, Ohio, concen­ trated on various ways to plant in a spectrum of residue levels... no-till, mulch-till, ridge-till and conventionally tilled ground. “The intense training ses­ sions enable White-New Idea dealers to take much of the knowledge available from our engineering, marketing and research staff to the local level for use by farmers who are converting to higher residue methods of farming,’’ ex- plained Curt Martel, vice president of sales and marketing. In addition to intense learn­ ing sessions, participants toured the planter manufactur­ ing line and discussed new manufacturing processes with production personnel. Time was also spent on the new 6600 series planters which feature a two-bar design enabling customized row wid­ ths as narrow as 15 inches. White-New Idea manufac­ tures and markets planters, tillage equipment, hay tools, manure spreaders and self­ propelled harvesting equip­ ment under the White, New Idea and UNI brand names as well as Ag ONE parts and supplies.

Foreign exchange students Simeon Carr and Solange Avila-Navarro speak to Maplewood students about their native countries, Australia and Peru. By Teresa Frith Maplewood fifth- and sixth­ graders learned how life in the United States compares with life in other countries last week when two foreign ex­ change students visited their school. Australian native Simeon Curr and Solange AvilaNavarro of Peru talked to classes about the culture, customs and animals in their countries. Both are here in the States through the Lions Club International Youth Exchange program. Curr arrived in December and is being sponsored by Nashville residents Phil and Bobbie Weller. He will stay with them for seven weeks. Mapes Family Florist 107 N. Main St., Nashville 852*2050 Open: Monday-Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Avila-Navarro arrived this month and will live with spon­ sors Sharon and Bill Mason of Vermontville. She will be here for eight weeks. Sixteen-year-old AvilaNavarro said that she has only been to the United States as a tourist. “I came to Miami last year and went to Disney World,’’ said Avila-Navarro. “I wanted to come here as a youth exchange student so that I could learn about the culture, have new experiences and practice English. The most important thing for me is to be able to learn new things.’’ This is the 11th foreign ex­ change student the Masons have sponsored. ‘ ‘We got hooked on the pro­ gram,” said Bill Mason. ‘‘We know someone who has spon­ sored 40 youth exchange pro­ gram students." His wife, Sharon, added, “We enjoy having the kids around and getting to learn about other countries.” Avila-Navarro has found that life in Michigan is very different from Peru. She comes from the capital city of Lima and lives there with her parents and older sister. “This is the first time that I have ever touched snow,” she said. “I also got to see my first squirrel and hope to get to see a deer before I go home.” In Peru, she attends an all­ girls school and will graduate this year. According to AvilaNavarro, school in Peru is also very different. “In Peru, the students all stay in the classroom and it is the teachers that move from room to room,” she said. “Our lockers are inside the room instead of outside. School work is more difficult and we must study very hard to be able to go on to the university.” Avila-Navarro’s father is self-employed and sells medical equipment to doctors. She said that sometimes she gets homesick, but calls her family once a week and writes to them. If anyone is interested in becoming a youth exchange sponsor, contact Bill Mason through the Vermontville Lions Club. The program is open to anyone and sponsors need not be Lions Club members. There are six- to eight-week programs in both the summer and winter. The foreign students pay their own way to the U.S. and bring their own spending money. “All that we ask is that the sponsoring family give the kids room and board, help them learn about cultural ex­ change and treat them like family members,” said Mason, who is a member of the Vermontville Lions Club. From Our Readers... Local ambulance crew thanked To the editor: The employees and management of Michigan Magnetics appreciate the Ver­ montville Ambulance for their remarkably fast response to our call on Jan. 6. The team of Monte O'Dell, Tony Wawiemia and Janice Bailey arrived within minutes of receiving our call. Once here, they handled the situa- tion in an experienced and professional manner. It is good to know that we, here in Vermontville, have access to this kind of emergency care. Sincerely, Thomas F. Krul, III Vide President Thomas A. Weigel Safety Director Michigan Magnetics Vermontville Neighbors have been downright neighborly To the editor: When Larry comes home, so tired after hours of plowing snow, all he wants is a warm room, his big chair and a hot meal. He sure doesn’t want to think about the driveway. But, over the years: First was Neil Balko with his huge snow blower. Then it was Dennis Kruger, over and over with his John Deere; and now the Lavertys, with their big “Minny.” Our driveway gets real attention! Little things, over the years, that are memories now. Like wood stoves and snow drifts', cakes baked, Christmas goodies, venison steaks, the pond and bluegills, a lost dog, stuck vehicles, graduation open houses. Girl Scouts, am­ bulances in the night — so many memories. Thanks neighbors, for being our neighbors. Pat Hynes Vermontville Miscellaneous YOU WANT QUALITY at affordable prices when you buy printing.

The achievement of high test scores on these basic skills tests represents only one of them. Some prime examples include the need to prepare our students for a vocational and personal future that includes understanding and skills in the use of computers and related technology. Another important need is being able to live and work with others and to deal with the ups and downs of life. Research has shown that some of the best laboratories for this outcome are found in our extracurricular activities. Other examples include being able to stick with an assign­ ment until it is completed, a commitment to quality, and being open and honest with others. These important outcomes are not easily evaluated by tests. Schools are designed to meet many important outcomes. Focusing on only one or two priorities with our attention or resources will not help us achieve the goal of helping our students and our society to develop to their fullest potential.

The project includes the renovation of over 14,000 square feet of existing Hospital space, and the addi­ tion of 11,500 square feet of new space. It is anticipated that the new space, currently nder construction will be occupied by mid-April, 1993, and the renovation of the existing space will be completed by January, 1994. The Family Centered Maternity unit consists of seven labor, delivery, recovery, postpartum (LDRP) rooms which allow the patient to stay in one fully equipped, (including a private shower) private room from labor through release from the Hospital. Traditional labor/delivery rooms and nursery accommodations will also be available. In addition to the new facility, Pennock offers vaginal birth after C-section (VBAC) procedure, epidural anesthesia, and lib- including sibling visi­ tation. Also included in the Family Centered Maternity Unit will be the latest computer­ ized fetal/maternal monitors available.

The surgical department includes two new, enlarged operating rooms, patient recovery areas, and a completely renovated outpatient surgery unit designed for patient convenience and comfort. Increas­ ingly complex surgeries now being performed require an increased use of technology such as lasers, laporascopic and arthroscopic equipment, microscopes, making the existing operating rooms no longer efficient. The project also includes a new and larger elevator to accommo­ date patients in traction, new emergency generators and electrical Pennock's new operating rooms are designed to accomodate the increasingly complex, techno­ logically intensive, surgeries now performed at Pennock. transformers to pro­ vide additional sup­ port in the event of power failure, and space to meet the needs of dietary and plant maintenance functions.

It is anticipated that the entire project which will be constructed in three phases, will be completed by Janu­ ary, 1994. GROWTH & TEH FOR A HEALT) PENNOCK OFFERS NEW METHOD OF DETECTING PROSTATE CANCER According to Dr. John Grayson, Pennock Hospital urologist, "cancer of the prostate is the most common type of cancer among American men over the age of 45, and the third leading cause of death among them. It's estimated that one out of 11 American men will de­ velop prostate cancer during his life­ time." Until recently, prostate cancer was difficult to diagnose in an early, poten­ tially curable stage. Traditionally, find­ ing suspected cancer in the prostate relied on detection of a hard or nodular area felt during rectal examination. Un­ The new ultrasound equipment fortunately, by the time prostate cancer enables much earlier detection of can be felt by rectal examination, the prostate cancer. cancer is often too far advanced to be cured. Great progress has been made in an effort to detect prostate cancer in the earlier stages. Two new developments are proving to be helpful. The first involves a laboratory blood test for prostate cancer. While this laboratory test has been available at Pennock for some time, it will soon be complemented by the latest high definition imaging ultrasound technology, which will enhance the early detection of prostatic cancer. The second involves placing a small instrument into the rectum and visualizing on a television monitor the reflection of sound waves directed at the prostate. The test does not involve any x-ray radiation since it uses only sound waves and is painless to the patient. If a suspicious area is seen on ultrasound, prostate biopsy is necessary to determine if cancer is actually present. If a biopsy is necessary, ultrasound equipment can be used to visually guide the biopsy equipment. Even a very small, suspicious looking area can be biopsied using this technique, thereby allowing for early detection of prostate cancer. The biopsy involves inserting a small needle through the rectum into the prostate to remove a tiny sample of the prostate tissue. The sample is then sent to the pathologist, who examines it under a microscope to see if any cancer can be identified. For more information on the early detection of prostate cancer, see your family physician or call Dr. Grayson's office at 948-8411. CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION NOW BEING DONE AT PENNOCK Pennock began offering the State's first mobile cardiac cath service this past fall, enabling diagnostic cardiology services to be offered to patients with suspected coronary artery disease. The new service is offered in collaboration with several other West Michigan Hospitals. Cardiac Catheterization is a procedure used to obtain information that assists in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. The basic procedure entails inserting a small caliber hollow tube into a vein in the patient's arm or leg, and advancing the catheter until The cardiac Catheterization unit. the tip is located near the heart. Once in position, the catheter can be used to mea­ sure blood pressure, obtain biopsies and inject radiopaque dye used in detecting clogged arteries. It gives the cardiologist an accurate picture of the patient's condition, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis and plan of treatment to be initiated. The benefits to the patient include: access to the same high technology offered at large urban hospitals, but with the convenience, safety, and comfort offered at a community hospital, the opportunity for the cardiologist to interact directly with your personal physician, and in most cases, the avoidance of overnight hospitalization. A stringent screening criteria has been established to identify patients appropriate for the exam. All cardiac catheterization procedures at Pennock Hospital are performed and supervised by a Board Certified Cardiologist who accompanies the unit. s s Sim S k/’Qn /kM |Uwj �1992 Financial Statements In the fiscal year ending September 30, 1992, Pennock Hospital has continued to demonstrate a strong financial base with a growing operational base, new and more intensive patient services, and an overall growth in the number of patients served. THIER FUTURE Pennock Hospital is a leading employer in Barry County providing 440 individuals with jobs, and contributing over $10 million to the local economy in wages alone. Pie following summarizes the financial results forthe PennockHealthcare System for the yearended September 30,1992 FUNDS AVAILABLE NEW LAPAROSCOPIC AND LASER SURGERIES NOW BEING DONE AT PENNOCK c; SJj X ijlh®> ■KE Through the use of a laparascope, the surgeon can better visualize the operative site. <S2 S2 *S sS ‘•‘lissiiisMsi,.: Wtati^ ^aWalKf tEe«Wss|®t •W Ml| ifa tig) ~c ‘ejeirttar.-; rauiFj'wta Earlier this year, a new surgical procedure called a laparoscopic appendec­ tomy was initiated at the Hospital. A laparoscope is a pencil sized tube, attached to a small video camera. The tube is inserted into the ab­ domen through a small inci­ sion, and the images are seen on a television screen. The appendix is then re­ moved through the tube. The magnifying properties of the laparoscope actually allow a better view inside the patient's body than open- ing the abdomen would. The advantages of the laparoscopic procedure include: less discomfort as a result of a much smaller abdominal incision, minimal or no scarring, a greatly reduced recovery time, and less cost. The new procedure allows the appendix to be removed laparoscopically, through a band-aid size incision on the lower right side of the abdomen as compared to the two to three inch incision of a traditional appendectomy. The new procedure takes a little longer to perform than a traditional appendectomy, but it reduces recovery time from four weeks to about one week, depending on the patient, and usually requires only a 24-hour hospital stay. Dr. William Baxter, Pennock Hospital Surgeon, is performing the new surgical procedure. He received specialized continuing education and medical training to perform this procedure. In preparation for this new surgical procedure, Pennock invested in new instruments and equipment. In addition to this new procedure, laporascopic procedures are routinely done for cholecystectomies, gynecological, urological, orthopedic, and other general surgery procedures. Many laparoscopic procedures incorporate the use of surgical lasers at Pennock. Pennock's surgical lasers include CO2, Yag, and Argon which are used in a wide range of surgical procedures. OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE SERVICE NOW OFFERED ijjjflirtiiWiW1 ^■ata*** U’’ In early November, Pennock opened its Oc­ cupational Medicine Service, accessible to companies throughout Barry County. For participating area businesses it will mean lower healthcare costs for work related injuries, im­ mediate walk-in access with no waiting and no appointment, and consistency of care from visit to visit, as well as ongoing communica­ tion between the care giver and the employer. Pennock's Occupational Medicine services will include immediate assessment and care of acute injuries, employee physicals, drug screens, on site rehabilitation, x-ray, lab, cardio-pulmonary and prescription services. Of special significance to the service is the addition of Bruce D. Wathen, a board certified Physician Assistant, with five years experience in occupational medicine. Wathen works under the direction of Drs. Baxter & DenHartog. He received a B.S. in Medicine from Western Michigan University, and another B.S. in Nuclear Medicine from Ferris State, where he graduated with highest honors. Mr. Wathen came to Pennock from the Grand Rapids Industrial Clinic where he practiced as a Physician Assistant for five years. Wathen is board certified in primary care and surgery, and in ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support). As a Physician Assistant, Wathen is licensed by the State of Michigan and is certified by the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Physician Assistants. The Occupational Medicine Department is located in the lower level of the Pennock Professional Building, 915 W.

The program was designed to decrease healthcare costs to area employers, while increasing the use of local healthcare services; The rebate is proportionate to the percentage of Pennock Hospital utilization and varies from a rebate of 1 %, if 50% of the employer's hospitalization expense is incurred at Pennock, to a 10% rebate if 95% of the employer's hospitalization expense is incurred at Pennock. Currently the program is being offered to employers whose employee health benefit expenditures for inpa­ tient and outpatient services provided by Pennock Hospital ex­ ceed $10,000 annually. Barry County employees are the first to take advantage of the new rebate program. The rebate that is generated by the in­ creased use of Pennock by county employees will be used to purchase a corporate membership to the Pennock Health & Fitness Center and will subsidize their use of the center. In addition, health education programs such as aerobic exercise, stress management, weight loss, and smoking cessation classes will be offered to the employees periodically through Pennock's Health Education Program. For more information about Pennock's Employer Healthcare Rebate Program, please contact Wade Nitz, Pennock Hospital's Chief Financial Officer, 948-3122. �PENNOCK FOUNDATION "PARTNERSHIP' FUND DRIVE EXCEEDS GOAL BY NEARLY $300,000 Oursincere appreciation to all ofourfriends who have assisted in making their hospital a success.

Vision testing program held at Kellogg, Fuller schools Kellogg and Fuller Street Elementary students had their vision tested earlier this month through the BarryEaton County Health Department. The vison screening was conducted in the beginning of January, with any needed re­ testing done last week. School-age children are tested for clearness of vision, muscle balance, near­ sightedness, color blindness and any other symptoms of eyesight problems. An average of 5 to 10 per­ cent of Michigan children are referred each year for more complete eye examinations. The Barry-Eaton District Health Department, with help from the Michigan Depart­ ment of Public Health, pro­ vides periodic vision screen­ ing to about 760,000 children each year. Michigan law states that children must be tested for vision problems prior to school enrollment. Children are screened once before kindergarten and then every other year, starting with kindergarten. Early identification of eye problems are very important, because they are easier to cor­ rect during the pre-school years. You'll Get Extra Value From Your Propane Dollar Anyone can sell you propane.

On Tuesday they dropped a 50-38 decision to the Rams from Galesburg Augusta. Last Friday they led all the way in a 55-40 victory over the Tigers of St. Philip. In the Galesburg game the Lions could never get their game on track. The Rams held the lead the entire game, but somehow the Lions stayed in the running. The Rams led by five at the end of the first quarter and by eight at halftime. The Lions made a run in the third quarter but could get no closer than six points. Plagued by poor shooting throughout the game, the Lions faded in the final stan­ za. Damon Patrick scored all five of the Lions' points in the quarter. As a team, the Lions were only able to connect on 12 of 68 shot attempts (18 percent). Patrick was the lone bright spot from the floor, hitting on three of five attempts for seven points. Wayne Moore was high point man with nine points. Jay Hokanson added eight points and pulled down 12 rebounds. On Friday, the Lions played their second SMAA contest this season. Adam Driksna scored 12 of his game-high 16 points in the first half, as the Lions built an eight-point halftime lead. The Lions put the game away in the third quarter with a 17-9 run. An evenly played fourth quarter ended in a 55-39 Lion victory. Adam Thayer tossed in 13 points and dished out five assists. Patrick scored eight points and was credited with four assists.

An open hearing is schedul­ ed for 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 11, at the next council meeting to allow for questions from the public. James Lakin of Portland and his partner, Paul Grannis of Cedar Springs, developers of several housing projects in the region, have proposed building a one-story structure with 24 one-bedroom units for the elderly and handicapped. The project is to be funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Fanners Home Administration.

Davis helped analyze scores from fourth- and seventh­ graders to find strengths and weaknesses. Ways were discussed to reinforce teaching strategies and techni­ ques, and come up with goals and objectives for future testing. “We want to come up with a three- to five-year longrange plan,” said Maplewood Principal Nancy Potter. “It would then be revised yearly according to the needs.” According to Potter, Maplewood plans to focus curriculm instruction on weak areas and to strive ultimately to improve MEAP scores and student learning in all grades. MEAP test results have become increasingly impor­ tant since new state require- ment that students pass high school tests in order to receive a state-endorsed diploma. Starting with the 1997 graduating class, students must pass the MEAP tests in order to receive a diploma of any kind. Members ofthe Maplewood School Assessment Testing School Improvement Team are Carolyn Trumble, Deb Cooley, Norma Sherman, Sheryl Berry, Cindy Baker, Vickie Williams, Sandy Briggs and Nancy Potter. Eaton Intermediate School District representative Dr. Barbara Davis (head of table) discusses Maplewood’s MEAP scores with Maplewood Elementary teachers and administrators during a school improvement session at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School last week. Teachers and administrators held a special Saturday meeting to discuss ways to improve math and lanuage arts curriculm to better meet the states educational requirements. Maple Valley Elementary teachers attending curriculm sessions By Teresa Frith Teachers and administrators from all three Maple Valley elementary schools are atten­ ding Saturday curriculm workshops to help align math and lanuage arts classes with state requirements. A series of three Saturday meetings have been schedul­ ed, with the first held last week. The schools are focusing on writing new math curriculm and continuing to improve on last year’s start at upgrading the lanuage arts curriculm. Teachers and administrators who attended during the first session were Lynn Harrison, Mary Slag, Laurie Kipp, Amy Toutant, Sheryl Berry, Karen Siefert, Linda Gaber, Clara Arvizu, Deb Cooley, Lynn Gray, Liz Snodgrass, Norma Sherman, Lori Bunker, Nancy Potter and Bernie Hynes. I ( We are aligning the curriculum objectives with what is being tesed on the Michigan Educa­ tional Assess­ ment Program (MEAP) tests. The lanuage arts curriculm in­ cludes reading, writing, speaking, listening and literature. “We are aligning the curriculm objectives with what is being tested on the Michigan Educational Assessment Pro­ gram (MEAP) tests,” said Kellogg Principal Bernie Hynes. “The sessions were scheduled on Saturdays in order not to take teachers out of their classrooms, which could hurt students.” The sessions are part of Pubic Act 25, which says that the State of Michigan requires all schools to improve their standards of quality. “We begin with what a stu­ dent needs in order to graduate then design down to the kindergarten level. We can then determine what is needed to be taught at each grade level,” said Hynes. Maple Valley Elementary teachers and ad­ ministrators discuss ways to improve math and lanuage arts curriculm to better meet the state's educational requrirements during a special Saturday meeting.

Pastor DeGroot and Tinsman will discuss the book and how the two of them worked together through Jesus Christ to straighten out Tinsman’s troubled past. Tinsman’s book is about his stuggle to overcome a past full of drugs, alcohol, marital pro- blems and self-doubt. The book is dedicated to DeGroot, Leola Bivens (who died last year) and the con­ gregation of the Nashville Baptist Church, where DeGroot is pastor. Tinsman says that the book was a result of DeGroot sug­ gesting that he write down some of his thoughts as a self­ help exercise. “I never set out to be a writer,” said Tinsman. “English was my worst subject.” Today Tinsman is active Latest contributions named to Putnam Public Library The latest contributions to Putnam Library came recently in memory of Verlin Murphy by Ona Hinckley, Don and Wilma Hinckley, and Petie Latta.

He is also involv­ ed with Prison Fellowship, a Christian counseling organization founded in Washington D.C. by Charles Colson, a former aide to President Nixon who served a prison term in connection with his Watergate activities. In his book, Tinsman says, “It was Christ who brought me out of my miserable and spiritually non-fullfiling lifestyle. I no longer have feelings of inadequacy, because Jesus adequately loves me, forgives me and has restored me to righteousness.” In the documentary he will speak on how this miracle happened to him and changed his life for the better.

"We just think this is a nice service. There must be a lot of girls who have prom dresses hanging in their closets," said Patti. At the sale, she said, "they can buy a nice dress that's far less expensive than in the store...We're hoping to have a couple hundred (gowns) to choose from." Lou Ann and Patti stress that the opportunity to sell prom gowns (or other attire that is considered to be formal clothing) is open to the public. That includes parents whose daughters Lou Ann Cruttenden (left) and Patti Jacobs are organizing a Feb. 27 event to help others sell prom dresses that are hanging in closets all over West Michigan. Cleaned prom dresses for the sale may be dropped off at four area high schools from 6 to 8 p.m. Feb. 25. m W ns it liimn a Jitatiiil (iirtilB a sis iqktrtiglH ni U Will M Prom gowns. They're beautiful and fun to wear. But what do you do with them after the big night is over? A couple of local mothers have come up with a solu­ tion. Patti Jacobs and Lou Ann Cruttenden, with the help of volunteers, are planning a sale of previously owned prom gowns and formal wear, and they are welcom­ ing everyone to have an op­ portunity to benefit by sell­ ing or buying. "Formally Yours Sale" is the name of the Feb. 27 event, which has a three-fold purpose. Because new prom gowns can cost in the neighborhood of $100 to $300 and are usu­ ally only worn once, the event is a chance to buy a nice gown at far less than the original price, they said. Even if a gown purchased at the sale has to be altered, it's still worth the price because of the savings involved, they added. As a service, the event also offers anyone with a long or short gown a chance to sell it. Gowns may be placed in the sale for a $3 fee per item. The owner deter­ mines the price of the gown and if it sells the entire pro­ ceeds are given to the owner. Unsold gowns may be picked up after the sale. The $3 fee for putting a gown in the sale will be given to provide something special for Hastings High School seniors' all night, non-alcoholic graduation party. The Saturday, Feb. 27 sale will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Hastings High School cafeteria and there THE WINNING TEAM YOU WtfoS&AND the CLASSIFIEDS GET YOU — PHONE — WHERE YOU Q4C.QCC4 WANT TO GO will be an admission fee of 50 cents per person to shop. Rooms with mirrors will be available for shoppers to try on, gowns. "Prom is just around the corner and it's not too early to go shopping for gowns." To make it more conve­ nient for people in the sur­ rounding areas to sell their used gowns, there will be four different locations where gowns will be picked up for the sale. Those who have gowns to sell may take them to the Thornapple Kellogg High School cafeteria in Middleville, Lakewood High School cafeteria in Lake Odessa, the Hastings High School library and to Delton Kellogg High School (room to be announced) from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25. Volunteers will staff the locations, collect the $3 fee per gown and take all the gowns to Hastings for the sale. All gowns must be pro­ fessionally cleaned before they are brought to a collec­ tion location and two Hastings businesses are of­ fering dry cleaning discounts on gowns for the sale, Lou Ann said. Discounts will be available at Barry Cleaners and Sisters Fabrics. Each gown placed in the sale must be on a hanger and covered with a plastic bag. If a gown does not sell, the owner may have it back. Unsold gowns must be picked up at Hastings High between 3 and 4 p.m. after the Feb. 27 sale unless other arrangements are made.

If anyone wants to donate gowns to the sale the pro­ ceeds will be given to the Hastings seniors' graduation party. And, if some gowns don't sell and the owners don't want them back, they will be donated to a worthy cause such as a theater group or the Salvation Army. The idea for the prom gown sale developed around homecoming time, they said, because of the frustra­ tion some students and par­ ents expressed about paying high prices to wear a dress one time. Patti and Lou Ann said they had heard about prom gown sales in other cities and decided to give it a try in Hastings. This is thought to be the first time such as sale has ever been offered in Barry County. If the event is successful, they said, they might consider do­ ing it again some time. Patti and Lou Ann are co­ chairing the event with their husbands, Fred Jacobs and Colin Cruttenden. "We're real excited about it. I think it will be fun," Patti said.

The American Academy of Pediatrics reviewed the cur­ rent information regarding dietary fat and cholesterol and in 1992 published recommen­ dations for children older than 2 years of age. The most critical guideline is that nutritional and growth needs must be met by eating a wide variety of foods. Children should not have their calories reduced to a point where they do not gain weight adequately. In infants and children up to the age of 2, a low-fat intake diet is not recommended and fat should not be restricted. For exam­ ple, skim milk and low-fat milk are not recommended during the first two years of life. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children over the age of 2 should get 30 percent of their calories from fat, less than 10 Fruit production was reduc­ ed by poor weather that prevailed throughout most of the 1992 growing season, ac­ cording to the Federal/State Michigan Agricultural Statistics Service. A cool spring ended with harsh frosts in late May. Sum­ mer was marked by below normal temperatures and ex­ cessive cloud cover. Warmth and sunshine in early October, however, benefitted some varieties of apples and grapes. Overall, production exceeded early ex­ pectations and was at or above 1991 levels. Apple production reached one billion pounds, up eight percent from a year earlier. The preliminary farm-level value of the crop was $94 million, down 6 percent from 1991.

This home-based curriculm was developed about two years ago by the Extension Home Economic MSU Cooperative Extension Ser­ vice. It is for parents of children from infants to 3 years of age. “The program was developed because there was a lack of support groups for parents of children from birth to 3 years of age,” said Superintendent’s Corner Emphasis on achievement, resources available Krolick. “This is an impor­ tant time in a child’s development.” The program is free and open to all parents, regardless of income level. The first step in receiving the information available is to call Krolick at the Michigan Extension Of­ fice in Charlotte at 543-2310. Once contact is made, parents come in and fill out a referral sheet. A time then will be set up for Krolick to come into the home and present the material appropriate to the age of the child. “I plan to meet weekly with the parents in their homes for an average of 10 weeks,” she said. “The program is very flexible and helps parents feel better about themselves and become better parents.” The curriculm covers four units: how kids develop, helping kids behave, playing to learn and smart living. Smart living includes teaching self­ esteem and goal setting. Krolick will work with parents and present literature, videos and handouts that show them what to expect at certain age levels of their children. “I don’t plan on dwelling on the negative aspects ofrais­ ing kids,’’said Krolick, who is a mother of four. “I think ■ raising children is a really wonderful thing.” During home sessions, parents are free to ask ques­ tions and talk about concerns or items that they are especial­ ly pleased about, according to Krolick. “Home sessions are good because people are usually more honest and specific,’’said Krolick. “Things are very friendly and we work together.” The program also does not assume that all families are traditional ones with both a mother and a father. ‘‘Building Strong Families” is funded on a yearto-year basis. According to BY Dr. Ozzie D. Parks fciSbbttK FeWiOh ’iBSMtoipi :ne ty appointment sa^t-MM mw 0 A recent report from the Michigan Department of Education provided continued evidence that the achievement of our students is related to the resources available to them. The report indicates that there is a high correlation between the scores of students on the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) tests and the income of their parents. This relationship has been assumed for many years and has been verified by recent data. A similar correlation has been found between the scores of students on these tests and the resources available to them through their schools. Again, this relationship has been known for many years. However, like the weather, many have talked about it but little has been done about it. Why is there so much more emphasis on achievement and resources today? The reasons are fourfold. First, academic achievement is separating the “haves from the have nots”'in our society to ever increasing degrees. Graduates can no longer expect to find jobs that pay well by obtaining only minimal skills. Second, current practice and research have found that almost all students ^e capable of lear­ ning at least essential skills at a higher level. Third, the cost of supporting the “have nots” is increasing rapidly. Fourth, the increasing evidence that resources make a difference begs that question as to how a state can justify continuing to provide une­ qual resources and opportunities to its children. What can we do about the problem? I recommend a number of possibilities: 1. Become well informed on this issue through the news media and by attending informational meetings. Watch for an announcement of an upcoming “State ofthe State and School” meeting. 2. Contact state and local officials and express your interest and concern about this issue. 3. Support efforts to equalize resources to our children at the state and local level. We have long known that our future will rest on our children. We sometimes forget, however, that the quality of our future will depend upon our investment in our children today.

(Drug Abuse Resistance Education) classes last Friday. Barry County Sheriff David Wood, a 29-year law enforcment veteran, is D.A.R.E. training officer for this area. Sessions are 45 minutes long and they cover topics such as managing stress without taking drugs, building self-esteem, media influence on drug use and resisting gang pressure. “This program will teach you more than just how to say ‘no’ to drugs/’ Wood told the students. Workbooks for the program are being provided to schools state wide by the Ford Motor Corporation. Most communitys teaching D.A.R.E. present the lessons in the sixth grade to reach students before they enter high school. However, in some places it is taught in grades four and five. Students at Kellogg will see Wood each Friday morning for about 15 weeks. The sheriff will answer their ques­ tions and present the material in the workbooks. At the end of the sessions, each student will attend a graduation and receive a D.A.R.E. T-shirt and water bottle. A group ofpolice officers in Los Angeles teamed up with the LA school district in 1983 to start the D.A.R.E. pro­ gram. Since then, it has served as a model program throughout the country. “The D.A.R.E. program is taught world-wide and can be found in all schools overseas run by the federal govern­ ment, as well as in the United States,” said Wood. D.A.R.E. has developed more than 300 agencies in 34 states, the Department of Gfp'ids | Specials ^04. 4.00 Off ANY PERMS — Long hair extra. Senior Citizen Discount does not apply.

Lion eagers subdued by Middleville in ‘track meet by David T. Young Editor Middleville won a "track meet" from Maple Valley on the basketball floor Tuesday night. The Trojans took a 73-62 decision in a nonleague game that was dominated by two full-court presses, fast action, some easy baskets, plenty of fouls and free throws, and a lots of turnovers. Middleville coach Kurt Holzheuter said the wide open style was just what he wanted to see. "That was our goal," he said. "We were disappointed that we couldn't sustain it (success with the up tempo). We wanted to spread the floor to give Jeff (Roodvoets) some room inside and stop teams from collapsing on him." The result for the first half of the bailgame was encouraging for Middleville, now 6-4 on the season overall. It was the outside shooting of sophomore Andy 1i Maple Valleys Mike Trowbridge arches a short jumper over Middlevilles Jeff Roodvoets (52) in the Lions' 73-62 loss last Tuesday evening.

Brewer canned three threepointers and scored 11 points in the first half, while Roodvoets did 15 points worth of damage during the same two quarters. Middleville took only a 16­ 15 lead at the end of the first period, but the next eight minutes were telling, when the Trojans outscored Maple Valley 26-18. Roodvoets started the second quarter with two baskets in less than 45 seconds to open up a fivepoint lead. The Lions, who slipped to 4-7 overall with the loss, still were able to stay close for awhile, but they never took the lead. They tied it at 29-29 with 3:50 left in the half, on a basket by Mike Trowbridge. But Brewer answered with a three and then swished another not much later to spark a 37-31 lead for Middleville. Though Maple Valley got as close as 39-36 on a three by Greg Garn, the Trojans scored the last six points of the half. The key basket in that run was a tip-in of a missed free throw by David Olthouse with five seconds remaining to give the Trojans a 45-36 advantage as the two teams headed for the dressing room. Middleville pulled away slowly in the third quarter as the Lions threw the ball away too often. The Trojans led 55-40 at the 3:13 mark, their biggest advantage in the con­ test. But then a strange thing happened. Middleville didn't score a point for the rest of the period, Maple Valley failed to capitalize, managing just two free throws. So, for nearly half a quarter, the two teams' frenzied scoring pace slowed to a crawl and the fourth period started with the Trojans up 55-42. The track meet started again after that, but this time it was Maple Valley that turned up the heat. Paced by some late offensive heroics by Steve Hopkins, the Lions fought their way back into the game, pulling to within four points, 63-59 with 3:40 left. They had two chances to cut their ■ deficit two two points, but missed on both.

With only a few minutes left in the half, they had pulled to within two points. They had a chance to tie the game, but a pair of free throws refused to drop.

Roodvoets led all scorers with 22 points and he hauled down 16 rebounds. Brewer had 14 points and Mason and Bundy each had nine, as the Trojans got 32 points from three sophomores. Roodvoets is averaging about 21 points and 13 rebounds per game this season. Trowbridge netted 14 points for Maple Valley and Hopkins and Gabe Priddy each contributed nine. Middleville came up with seven three-pointers for the night, while the Lions had three. Interestingly, both teams shot poorly in frequent trips to the free throw line. The Trojans made just 50 percent, on 16 of 32, and Maple Valley wasn't all that much better, with 21 of 33 for 63 percent.

Sarver made a pair of free throws and then took a pass from Mason seconds later and scored a fast break layup. Mason then dribbled the ball the entire floor through the Lions' press and scored on a layup. For an encore, he laid the ball in on a baseline drive on the next possession. This spurt took only about a minute, but when.it was over, Maple Valley suddenly was staring at a 71-59 deficit with just 1:34 showing on the ing the opening parts of the third period and only trailed by five going into the last quarter. Middleville came out strong and recaptured control of the game and put the Lions away. The Lions did have their chances. A stolen pass after a timeout and changing to a half-court trapping defense gave the Lions a layup that could have pulled them to within three points, but the shot went astray.

MI 48849 Kirt Petersen, Owner (616) 374-1200 Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday If you’re planning to give Cupid a helping hand this Valentine’s Day or want to impress that special person, you should plan ahead. Valen­ tine’s Day this year is on a Sunday! The Rose Information Bureau of Haslett notes that last-minute orders for roses may be harder to fill this year because of the weekend posi­ tion of the occasion. When this occurs, it is more difficult and expensive to ar­ range flower deliveries. Also, some wholesale and retail florist operations are not open on Sunday and it will be dif­ ficult to maintain a fresh supp­ ly of roses unless orders are placed well in advance by florists and their customers. It is expected that more than 50 million roses will be pur­ chased this Valentine’s Day. John Kealey, Jr. of Ab­ ingdon, Va., president of Roses Inc., the trade associa­ tion of greenhouse growers of fresh cut roses, says, “The quality of the U.S. rose crop looks excellent at this time and it should equal the number offered by the industry last year.” He also notes that transpor­ tation of the roses to the local florist outlets at this time of the year can be complicated by harsh winter weather, and as many roses are shipped by air, heavy travel by people for the holiday can limit air freight space at critical times. Because the U.S. rose crop is produced inside en­ vironmentally controlled greenhouses, they are not adversely affected by winter freezes, rain or snow. It is more expensive to grow roses inside during this time period, however, because heating costs are greater and the longer winter days mean the crop is slower to mature than in the summer months. The goal of the U.S. greenhouse rose grower is to provide a rose to the retail florist which is so fresh that it will open as fully as it would had it been left on the bush, according to Ralph Wright of Sandy, Utah, a rose grower and chairman of the Roses Inc. Quality Control Committee. Wright notes, however, that there are things the recipient of the roses must do to help ensure the roses last well in the home or office and open fully. He suggests these tips: 1. When you receive a rose arrangement, be certain to im­ mediately fill the vase with barely warm water. 2. If roses are received out ofwater, perhaps in a box, cut about an inch off the base end of the stem while holding the end of the stem under water. Make the cut on a slant using a sharp knife or shears. 3. Keep your roses in a cool location, away from drafts, hot air vents and direct sunlight. Placing your roses in a dark, cool room at night may double their vase life. 4. Use a floral preservative in the water you add to your roses. This is usually available from your retail florist. Add water daily to keep the water level in the container as near to the top as possible. 5. If a rose should wilt prematurely, remove it from the arrangement, recut its stem under barely warm water and lay it flat in a pan ofwater making sure the entire flower is straight and submerged. In about an hour, the rose, with your first aid treatment, should have revived and can Jolm Deere Day 1993 From great grandparents to future farmers, all the generations will be gathering at John Deere Day 1993.

The budget hearing will be at 7 p.m. and the DDA hear­ ing will follow at 7:15. The proposed appropria­ tions of funds in the new budget include revenues of $160,900 in the general fund. The funds would be distributed the following ways: $39,798.70 for the legislative account, $22,764.30 for the general government account, $47,444 for the public works account, $500 for recreation and culture and $50,393 for debt service. Expected revenues for other accounts were: water fund, $68,650.50; sewer fund, $59,750.10; major streets, $59,102.40 and local streets funds at $20,382.40. The council approved a resolution of intent to establish a Downtown Development Authority in selected areas of the village, pursuant to Michigan Public Act No. 197 of 1975 and part of the village’s Downtown Revitalization Plan. The public hearing will be in the village hall. Notices will be sent to the affected tax payers. Boundaries and other items are to be discussed at the hear­ ing and all interested parties are urged to attend. In other business last week, the council: — Heard a report from Vermontville Township Supervisor Russ Laverty about parking problems caus­ ed when special events such as auctions are held at the Ver­ montville Opera House. Local business owners and com­ munity ■ residents came for­ ward to complain last month about the lack of downtown parking during such events. Laverty told council members that he had discuss­ ed the problem with the par­ ties involved and had come up with several solutions. These included posting maps show­ ing preferred parking areas to be used over downtown park­ ing slots and making signs for See Budget, Page 2 Donations help Vermontville Fire Dept, buy ‘defibrillator’ By Teresa Frith After two years of collec­ ting dohations and one year of doing necessary paperwork, the Vermontville Fire Depart­ ment has put into service a cardiac defibillator machine. Defibrillation is a technique in which a brief electric shock is administered to the heart via two metal patches placed on the wall of the chest. It is per­ formed to treat some types of irregular or rapid heartbeat. The sudden burst of electricity through the heart converts un­ coordinated heartbeat into a normal, regular one. “We decided that the Fire Department needed a defibrillator because at one time 90 percent of our patients were heart patients,” said Vermontville Village Presi­ dent Sue Villanueva. “First we had to collect the dona­ tions needed to buy it and then we had to go through the TriCity Medical Control Authority to get the permis­ sion to install and use it.” The Village Fire Depart­ ment’s basic patient care is done under a doctor’s license through the Tri-City Medical Control Authority, which can tell the department what types of equipment are allowed on the ambulances. The defibrillator is a pro- duct of Space Lab First Medic Products Model 510 and it cost about $4,800, including training aids and dummies. It was first put into service last Oct. 12. Emergency medical techni­ cians and first responders on the ambulance team have at­ tended an eight-hour training course to learn how to use the defibrillator. Refresher courses must be taken quarterly. According to one of the am­ bulance crew members, a vic­ tim must be over 12 years old, weigh over 90 lbs. and show no pulse in order to be a canSee Donations, Page 4 Vermontville ambulance team members(from left) Janice Bailey, Joe Ancona, Denise Wells, Shirley Harmon, Ron Harmon, Darwin Alldaffer, Marilyn Frith and Tony Nawirrnia demonstrate how they train with their new defibrillator and training dummy. Bob Harvey Suzanne L. Vanderske Four Republicans to be on ballot in Nashville primary, Monday By Teresa Frith Four Republican and two Democratic candidates will be on the ballot in the Nashville Village primary next Monday. The three top vote-getters among the four GOP hopefuls will move on to the general election next month. There are three, two-year openings on the Nashville Village Council this year. Republican incumbent Trustees Jeffrey Beebe and Suzanne Vanderske will be joined by newcomers Stephen Corwin and Bob Harvey. Democrat incumbent Carol Jones Dwyer will be joined by Ronald Bracy. Unless there are major write-in campaigns, both will advance to the general election, making it a six-for-three race March 15. All candidates said they feel they have good reasons for seeking a position on the council. “I believe that Nashville will grow and hopefully pro­ sper,” said Beebe. “The only way that Nashville can pro­ sper is to have controlled growth. We need to look at not only the good of Nashville, but also the good of its citizens. I believe that I have those concerns and can oversee them.” Vanderske said she also is for progress. “I have lived in Nashville all my life,” said Vanderske, an office manager at the Michigan Livestock Ex­ change. “I enjoy working with the village and helping it to improve and progress.” Harvey is a Maple Valley school bus driver and was a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals. He has lived in Nashville for 18 years and coaches sports at Fuller and Kellogg Elementary schools. “I feel that it is time for a change,” said Harvey. “We need new people on the council.” Corwin, the other Republican newcomer, was unavailable for comment. He is a salesman at Renner Ford in Hastings. Democrat Carol Jones Dwyer is an advocate of com­ munity involement. “I would like to continue to be a member of the Nashville Village Council so that I can continue my efforts to make village government fair and open to everyone.” Bracy, who last year ran for Castelton Townsip Super­ visor, said the village needs to set priorities and more longrange plans. “I think that I can do a good job for the village because I have been involved with the village for some time now,’’said Bracy. “I think that council business should be put on a firmer footage.

Council members discussed the possibility of’ instituting a two-hqur parking limit in the downtown section of town.’ According to the recently adopted uniform traffic code, the village may hire someone other than a police officer to issue citations to offenders in order to enforce such a law. “The only way to make the parking situation fair is to make the whole area limited to two-hour parking for everyone, every day,” said one council member. “The parking areas in question are public parking and we may not be legally able to make so­ meone park somewhere else.” — Also received a report from Laverty on the Township's recent application for a $113,000 grant to be us­ ed to make the Opera House more handicapped accessible. The state grant would help cover the cost of putting in an elevator and remodel the restrooms. Improvements also would include a staircase that would allow use of the restrooms without having to go outside the building to get to them. Township officials said they expect to know if they will receive the grant by the end of March. — Received a report from Trustee Ruth Wineman on the progress toward the village’s application for a Solid Waste Alternative Grant from the Michigan Department of BOOKS ETC .

The village has submitted paper­ work on the justification of need and resumes on Depart­ ment of Public Works of­ ficials, as asked for by the DNR. DNR officials are ex­ pected to review these in April and make a final decision on the grant application in June. If approved for a the $13,400 grant, the village would use the funds to help buy equipment to collect debris at curbside, establish an approved composte site and pay for brochures to help educate the public about the Michigan Open Burning Act of 1993. The state law to band land­ filling and prohibit open burn­ ing of leaves will take effect next year. By 1996, all open burning will be banned. If the village receives these funds, the equipment is ex­ pected to be purchased in Oc­ tober, when money from the grant would be distributed by the state.

Main St., Vermontville By Teresa Frith When Guacamole, Ham­ burger, Hot Dog and French Fry came to Kellogg Elemen­ tary, their friend, Tom Plunkard, wasn’t serving lunch. Plunkard, of Warren, is a traveling magician. Guacamole is his rabbit and Hamburger, Hot Dog and French Fry are his doves. “I’ve been doing magic since I was 8 years old,’’said 32 year-old Plunkard. “I like my job because it is fun. I’m fortunate to be one of the only 5 percent of magicians who are able to do this full-time.” Plunkard was brought to Kellogg with funds from the Student Council and school store. He put on a 45-minute act that included everything from cards and balloons to disapearing doves and colored handkerchiefs. He asked several students to assist him in a number of tricks. “I perfoim all over Michigan and Ohio, mostly for things such as county fairs, schools and festivals,” said Plunkard. “I do about 500 shows a year and am away from home about 20 nights a year.” After the performance the students were invited to ask Plunkard questions about magic. He encouraged them to visit their local libraries to read books about magic.

February 9, 1993 — Page 5 School Lunch Menu Maplewood 5th-grade class gets new student teacher for semester By Teresa Frith Students in one of Maplewood Elementary’s fifth-grade classes have two teachers this semester — their regular one and a student teacher. Western Michigan Univer­ sity senior Rachelle Rossi has been student teaching for Lori Bunker’s fifth-grade class since last month. She will teach under Bunker’s supervi­ sion until April, when she is scheduled to graduate with a bachelor of arts degree in elementary education. “I wanted to be a teacher since I was in the fourth grade,’’said Rossi. “I enjoy interacting with the students and have always liked work- Maplewood School Hot Lunch Menu Wednesday, Feb. 10 Nacho chips w/meat and cheese, vegetarian beans, bread and butter sandwich, fruit. ing with children to bring out their potential.” Rossi began last month by taking over the reading classes and gradually has begun to teach the entire class by herself. “I follow along with the teacher and do what she does,” said Rossi. “I correct papers, make assignments, do lesson plans and all the other things regular teachers do.” Under Michigan law, stu­ dent teachers must be under observation of a regular fully accredited teacher. “Rossi is doing a marvelous job here,’’said Lori Bunker. “With her here, we can work together and are able to do more things with the Thursday, Feb. 11 Sloppy joe browns, fruit. *3S ^QtalMnlBn 'MiP i'Ws^ltah iTM^'ifaktare'tabp lyBhtts'Fnh 5SS riaIA|si>iW-- s? i *®®l Life and education were simpler in the old days. Most folks went to school in their early years, but by the end of the eighth grade those who were not very successful at the “three r’s” left for more profitable or enjoyable pursuits. Many jobs required few skills and had good pay. Those who remained in school were usually high in the abili­ ty to do “book learning” and were relatively easily and economically educated. Times have changed. Today, almost all students stay through high school and the majority go on to higher education. One major reason is that there are few profitable or enjoyable op­ tions for young people who leave school early today. There are few jobs for the unskilled. Another is that it is too expensive for our government to pay the cost of unemployment, welfare and prisons, which are closely related to a lack of education. The “bad news” for students is that they must obtain a good education, whether they have high academic ability or not. For taxpayers it is that we must pay more for the new demands of education or the social costs if they are not provided. It is a “pay me now or pay me later” situation. The “good news” is that schools are doing much better at meeting the needs of all students and assisting them in becom­ ing successful learners and workers. Also, though better education costs more, it is still a bargain and provides many returns not available in the old days. Developments such as the social security system can only be successful if our work force is well educated and employed. Also, it has been appropriately noted that “it costs less to have a student attend Penn State than the state pen.” Dickens wrote in “Tale of Two Cities": “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” That statement may be ap­ plied to the “good old days” or the present time. What we do in our schools can make a large part of the dif­ ference between the best and the worst. Of one thing we may be sure, unless we adopt new ways for new days, we will have a hard time looking back and calling the present time “the good old days” or “the best of times.” Times are changing and so must we.

Coach Jerry Reese said he was disappointed by his team's inability to keep pos­ session in its own court. "We simply must do a bet­ ter job of protecting the bas­ ketball," he said. Reese also had problems keeping his sophomore floor leader, Gabe Priddy, on the court. Priddy ran into foul trouble early in the third quar­ ter and Reese was forced to take him out. Playing spar­ ingly, Priddy still dished out seven assists. Olivet came in the game with an 11-1 overall record and Friday night's win should solidify its No. 8 state rank­ ing in Class C. Mike Trowbridge led the Lions with 16 points while Greg Gam chipped in seven. For Olivet, leading scorers were Ed Collins with 15 and Brad Best with a total of 14. The Lions, now 4-9 overall and 2-1 in the SMAA, will be host to Galesburg-Augusta tonight in a nonconference game. The Rams have had a tough season thus far, with only one victory. The Lions will have Friday evening off. MV varsity basketball team loses to Bath 70-51 The Maple Valley varsity basketball team lost 70-51 to -Bath Tuesday night in a nonleague game on the win­ ners’ floor. Maple Valley once again fell behind early, 20-14 after the first eight minutes and 37-24 at the half. “We took the ball inside early and had a difficult time shooting,” coach Jerry Reese said. The Lions made only six of their first 20 shots and they had 10 turnovers in the first half. “The first half usually has been our downfall,” Reese said. Free throws also were a fac­ tor. Maple Valley made just three of nine. The Bees, at the same time, sank 14 of 18 attempts. Greg Garn pumped in 17 points to lead the Lions’ of­ fensive attack. Gabe Priddy played a solid all-around game with 13 points, eight re­ bounds, five steals and three assists. Jon Mitchell added seven points, Gam had seven re­ bounds and Justin Lake hauled down six boards. Corey Lamer fired in 27 points for the Bees and Jason Haggy chipped in 13. As a team, Maple Valley made only 31 of 63 from the floor for 33 percent. Bath hit on 27 of 58 for just under 50 percent. “We’re going through a difficult time right now,” Reese said of his team. “We hope we can get one on our side of the column soon.” Thank You CARD OF THANKS MAPLE VALLEY MEMBERS OF BARRY- \ EATON BOARD OF REALTORSS & THE MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE \<Real Estate 'A \ \ 227 N.

Boy Scouts in 15th year of tree tapping, sap collection By Teresa Frith It’s maple syrup season here once again, as Nashville Boy Scouts enter their 15th year of tree tapping and sap collecting. Saturday brought the sound of drills boring into the bark of the sugar maple trees in Nashville and the clanking of metal buckets that will hang from the trees until late March or early April. According to Assistant Scoutmaster Dale Ossenheimer, Troop No. 176 has been a part of this tradi­ tion for eight years. “The tree tapping started as a community project in the begining,” he said. “About 15 years ago, the scouts took it over with Troop 177. In 1983, that troop disbanded and Troop 176 started. We’ve been at it each year ever since.” The boys’ work starts with washing the approximately 1,100 metal buckets and lids that hang from the trees to col­ lect the clear sap. They also must wash and prepare hun­ dreds of five-gallon plastic collecting buckets that later will be used to pour the sap in­ to a waiting collection tank. The Nashville Syrup Association keeps track of the amount of hours the troop works during the sap collec­ ting season. The troop earns money based on how much is collected and how many hours are worked. “At the end of the season we figure out how much money the troop has earned,” said Ossenheimer. “The troop keeps half of the money for use toward troop projects, fees, supplies or other scoutrelated activities. The other half is divided up among the boys who worked collecting Adult volunteers drill holes in the sugar maple trees in Nashville's Putnam Park as Boy Scouts from Troop 176 bring them the metal collection buckets.

The money is kept in an ac­ count for each boy and may be used during the year for any scout-related item. There is no time limit in which the earned money must be spent.” “I have seen some of the boys earn as much as $120 in a good season,” said Ossenheimer. “It can be used to go to camp, buy camping supplies, etc., as long as it is related to scouting.” The boys are not the only ones who work hard to make the sap collecting project suc­ cessful. Adult volunteers drive the trucks that haul the collecting tanks, drill the holes in the trees, and cook lunches for hungry scouts after a long morning of tree tapping. Tree tapping is an all-day event. Ossenheimer said about 900 to 1,100 buckets are plac­ ed on village trees each year. “We put an average of two buckets on each tree,” he said. “Contrary to what some people believe, this doesn’t hurt the trees. Every day, pollution from the environ­ ment stresses the trees far more than tapping. A tree pro­ duces about twice as much sap as it needs, so taking part of this is not harmful either.” After buckets are in place, volunteers monitor the level of sap that drips into them. When the level reaches about one-half full, local schools are Prices include: • Delivery • Hookup • Our Radio Dispatched Service Dept.

An article in the current TOOLS Air compressors, air tools, air accessories, socket sets, power tools, auto equipment, body tools, woodworking equipment, tool boxes and cabinets, drill press and ac­ cessories, vises, fans. C&W tOOISAUs GENERAL MERCHANDISE 3 Miles North of 1-96 on M-66 Ionia, Ml • 616-527-2724 issue of “Arthritis Today,” the foundation’s national con­ sumer magazine, says this in­ crease in job-related injuries has employers and resear­ chers scrambling to design workplace modifications. These injuries, often called cumulative trauma disorders or CTDs, involve such arthritis-related disorders as tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. This kind of condi­ tion is most common in people whose jobs require awkward and repetitive use of the hands or arms. One study shows CTDs comprised over half of all work-related injuries in 1990, up from just 18 percent a decade earlier. Until recently, ATTENTION NASHVILLE RESIDENTS The village of Nashville is looking for concerned, interested citizens to fill vacancies on the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Planning Commission. If you are interested in one of these posi­ tions, please submit your name at the Village Hall by 5 p.m. Thursday, February 11, 1993. CTDs were found most fre­ quently in people who operated heavy machinery or worked on assembly lines. Today they are more likely to be seen in office workers who work at computer keyboards that require them constantly to keep their hands in motion. The increase in CTDs has sparked renewed interest in ergonomics — the science of adapting or fitting the workplace to meet the needs and capabilities of the worker. Employers are finding that these injuries are costing them billions in medical expenses and lost productivity. So there is a great deal of interest in designing work environments that allow for greater worker comfort. Hands and wrists are among the parts of the body most vulnerable to repetitive mo­ tion injuries. The Arthritis Foundation recommends fre­ quent breaks if you do work that requires you to use your hands constantly, particularly in an awkward position. The foundation also recommends performing the following ex­ ercises before work and at regular intervals throughout the day. • Clench your fist tightly, then release and stretch your hand. Repeat. • Open your hand wide and place it palm-down on a table. Press your palm against the MAPLE SYRUP TIME continued from previous page called to alert scouts that they are to meet at the sap house after school to go on a collec­ ting run. The scouts not only collect the sap, but also keep track of its quality. The sap is tested with a hydrometer to check the sugar content. A sugar content of between 2 and 4 percent is considered best for syrup making. Before dumping a bucket into the collecting tank, the sap also is checked for its clarity and color. Yellow or cloudy sap is rejected because it could be sour or con­ taminated in some way. Col­ lected sap is filtered twice by the scouts and twice more by the syrup makers at the sap house. It takes between 25 to 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of finished maple NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING VILLAGE OF VERMONTVILLE County of Eaton, Michigan ON THE FORMATION OF A DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND DESIGNATION OF DOWNTOWN DISTRICT BOUNDARIES syrup, depending on the sugar content of the sap, Ossenheimer said. “The more sugar content of the sap, the less time it has to be boiled down in order to get maple syrup,”he said. “The less time it is boiled, the clearer the finished product and the better the quality.” The collecting buckets are also rewashed as needed dur­ ing the season to prevent bacteria from contaminating the sap. Ossenheimer said the ideal conditions for collecting sap would be to have freezing temperatures at night and temperature in the 40s during the day. “On a good day we collect between two to three thousand gallons of sap and make several runs,” he said. So, the next time you reach for that can or bottle of of maple syrup, remember that if it came from Nashville, Boy Scouts from Troop 176 pro­ bably had a hand in bringing it to your breakfast table.

School Board rejects proposed budget revision By Teresa Frith The Maple Valley Board of Education rejected a proposed revised 1992-93 budget Mon­ day and voted to send it back to the Finance Committee. The proposed budget con­ tained changes of an estimated $189,372 in additional expen­ ditures and $46,328 in revenues from the approved 1992-93 budget. This would make a total $6,748,859 in ex­ penditures and $6,450,314 in revenues, thus showing an ex­ pected deficit of $298,545. The proposed budget show­ ed that the deficit would be made up from the school’s equity or contingency fund, which stood at $944,655 after the audit of the 1991-92 budget. If the expected deficit was taken out of the equity fund, it would leave it at ap­ proximately $646,110. Board members expressed concern over the expected deficit and sent it back to be reviewed by Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks and the Finance Committee. Nearly $79,000 of the in­ creased expenditures comes from budget increases for elementary and junior and senior high instruction.

Senior citizens apartment complex faces zoning problems By Teresa Frith Nashville Council members Thursday told developer James Lakin about a problem with his plans for building a 24-unit senior citizen apart­ ment complex on a 3.5-acre site east of the C-Sil Corportation. Council, during an open hearing, explained to Lakin how the project conflicts with village zoning rules concern­ ing minimum square footage allowed for a - one-bedroom unit. Village rules require 650 square feet for a one-bedroom unit, while Lakin’s project shows a proposed size of 586 square feet. “I feel that the main pro­ blems with the project are in its size, parking arrangements and its density,” said Trustee Jeff Beebe. “It needs less facilities and larger units.” Lakin presented material to the council that showed that according federal guidelines, the square footage of common areas should be included in determining the amount of square footage. “I have built similar struc­ tures in other communities with the same zoning rules with no problems,” said Lakin. “This is the first time we have run across this.” The Nashville Planning Commission has proposed that a paragraph be added to the PUD section of the zoning rules, Chapter Eight, Section 8.04 to read: “The square footage of common areas such as community room and kit­ chen, laundry room and craft room, should be divided by the number of apartments and added to each apartment to make the required 650 square footage requirement. Apart­ ment complex only, hallways are excluded.” See Seniors complex, Page 3 Vermontville Congregational Church greets new minister By Teresa Frith After nearly a year working with an interim minister, Ver­ montville’s historic First Con­ gregational Church welcomed the Rev.

Sara, daughter of Ben and Loa Kinyon of Mulliken, was chosen from a field of four candidates after a Ver­ montville Lions Club dinner Tuesday night at the Ver­ montville Congregational Church.

While the usual valentines were exchanged and heart­ shaped cookies eaten, students in n Mrs. rs. Dunham unam ’s kindergarten class at Fuller Street Elementary added some “erupting” fun to their celebration. The class’ very vivid, violent volcano was decorated with violet velvet valentines. Part of their celebration of the letter “V,” the volcano is an example of the hands-on type of learning that frequently is being used in each class. “Studies have shown that students can acheive up to 100 percent retention of material it’s always a good time for Home imPRouEmEms RedtaG Sale In-Store Coupon Books • • • • • • Tools • Plumbing Electrical Hardware • Drywall Insulation Cook & Dunn Paints Merillat Cabinetry • Roofing • Siding • Paneling • Andersen Windows • Dimension Lumber • Treated Lumber Mrs. Dunham's kindergarten class at Fuller Elementary celebrated Valentines Day with a very vivid, violent volcano with violet valentines on it.

Walden wanted to do something nice for West after reading about him in the newspaper. The 6-year-old West was bom with only a left lung and his heart on the right side of his chest. His trachea is Sshaped and he must wear a tracheotomy tube in his neck. The West family recently was treated to a trip to Walt Disney World in Florida by the “Make A Wish Founda­ tion” of Michigan. Various types of parties and celebrations were held at area schools. The Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High jazz band also performed at both Kellogg and Maplewood elementaries.

Formed in the beginning of the school year, the group has about a dozen members in grades 9-12. They meet each Wednesday to discuss ways to keep the earth clean. “Earth Watch” is active in recycling. Through their ef­ forts, each classroom at the high school and some at the elementary schools has a recy­ cle box for used papers and newspapers. The group col­ lects and turns them in for recycling. The club recently sponsored a recycling essay contest at Kellogg Elementary as part of The 73rd annual Vermont­ ville Firemen’s Dance is scheduled for Saturday from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the fire station.

Parks 06969222 Vermontville Firemen’s Dance set Recent research has indentified some basic principles, defin­ ed as rules or truths, which must be present if schools are to ef­ fectively and efficiently carry out their roles and responsibilities. One of the key principles is that principals, those who have the major authority and responsibility for individual buildings and schools, are very important to the success of everything that goes on in their unit. Some of the principles of effective schools are: an orderly school climate; discipline which is clear, firm and consistent; few classroom interruptions; a cooperative family atmosphere; positive involvement and relationships with parents and other community members; well kept facilities; and last, but not least, instructional leadership. The person who can and must do the most to see that these principles are present in each school is the principal. As the im­ portance of quantity and quality of education has increased, so have the responsibilities of the principal. The week of Feb. 14-20 has been designated as Principal’s Week. How bout taking the time to call or write to them and tell them how much you appreciate their time and efforts to br­ ing quality education to our students and community? An important principle for all of us to know and follow is that people tend to do best and longest what they are given thanks and appreciation for doing. Let’s follow that principle with our principals. their plan to educate younger students on environmental issues. They have given lec­ tures at Kellogg and plan to do the same at Fuller and Maplewood elementaries. “Our goal is to make the community aware of the en­ vironment,” said sponsor Lonnie Spencer, a teacher at the high school, “If we can get the students to recycle, then the parents will do so also.” One of the recent accomplishments of the club was to buy plastic plates to replace styrofoam ones being used at the school cafeteria salad bar. Members also are keeping an eye on the propos­ ed building of a nuclear waste dump in South Haven. Other plans include adop­ ting a local highway for cleanup and putting together a plan to plant more trees on the school grounds.

Chapters in attendance were Maple Valley, Olivet, Charlotte, Hastings, Lakewood and Caledonia, which included approximately 100 members. The contests are developed for students to enhance their leadership skills. The contests consist of Demonstration (members demonstrates a skill), Agriculture Forum (five to seven members discuss, as a panel, major agricultural concerns). Job In­ terview (students interview for a chosen job), Greenhand Conduct of Meetings (firstyear members solve a pro­ blem using Robert’s Rules of Order), Parlimentary Pro­ cedure (five to seven members solve a problem using Robert’s Rules of Order), Greenhand Public Speaking (first-year members give a speech), Public Speaking (any member gives a speech on an agricultural topic), and Ex­ temporaneous Public Speak­ ing (student is given a topic at the contest with 30 minutes to prepare a five-minute speech and then deliver it to the judges). The judges were impressed with the abilities of the students. ‘’The demonstra­ tions were better then most Ph.D presentations that I’ve seen" said one judge. The top two winners from each contest now go on to the regional level in mid February at Charlotte High School. The two competitors from Maple Valley were Hope Hughes in Job Interview and Michelle Gidner in Extem­ poraneous Public Speaking. Ron Worth, advisor for Maple Valley FFA, said, “I was pleased with the girls’ performances. They show great potential for leaders in the community.”. ning of the program. At the conclusion, craft experts Susie Sanger and Lori Wieland will show the group how to make "woven bas­ kets" filled with sweet smelling potpourri. All craft supplies will be provided. A suggested donation of $2 will help cover the cost of the materials. Special classes taught by loving teachers for infants up to children who are five years old will be available. The children sing, watch movies, hear a story, have a snack, make a craft and make new friends. For further details or transportation, contact Dawn Yager, 367-4615, or Liz Welch, 852-9379. Corrections — A story on the Vermontville Fire Station acquiring a defibrillator that ran in last week’s paper incorrectly identifyed the name of the authori­ ty used to tell the department what is allowed on the ambulances. The Township’s Fire Department’s basic care is done under a doctor’s license through the Tri-County Medical Control Authrity. The story incorrectly iden­ tified them as the Tri-City Medical Control Authority.' The company that made the defibrillator was incorrectly given as Space Lab First Medic Products. It should have read Space Lab First Medic Division Model 510. Gary Hamilton, coach of the Class C state champion Maple Valley girls’ track team, has been named "Coach of the Year” by the Michigan Track Coaches Association (MITCA).

Parking space was not indicated, along with the driveways. Neither were there any proposed circulation paths of any kind indicated. All of these exclusions of design show a lack of thought, yet they do not depreciate from the idea of a good con­ cept, or its value. It may, however, reflect on the coun­ cil itself, in the way it con­ ducts business. For nearly two years now, planning has gone into a pro­ ject which is directly linked to a block grant of $225,000 with another $100,000 from the village “slush fund” (Maple Valley News) to im­ prove sewer and water service on Reed Street to the proposed 24-unit complex across the street from Carl’s Supermarket. This project is through FHA, and offers housing to low to moderate income residents. Mr. Lakin, in the two times I’ve seen him, °* & :cw cw scs strikes me as a reputable con­ tractor who is bending over backward to conform to village requirements. Yet it appears some kind of stonewalling tactic is in pro­ gress here. Mr. Lakin came to last week’s meeting with a request for a zoning change. He has invested approximately $24,000 in technical drawings of what appears to be a hous­ ing project the people of Nashville could be very proud to call theirs. One would think the council would at least grant a zone re­ quest for a PUD designation, when one considers the time, money and effort shown by the developer. This type of housing has been done by this firm in several locations and information has been supplied to this effect, with the invita­ tion to go see the projects first hand. The voters and taxpayers need to start asking for an ex­ planation of these actions taken by the council. Harold M. King Nashville °attcri. °a GOODYEAR COOPER DAYTON z<?

Priddy also had six assists and nine rebounds on the night. If you would have told Lions coach, Jerry Reese that his team would finish with 81 total points, he might have bet the house and farm against it. "It took us awhile to get on track," said Reese. "We were down at one time by 12, and nothing seem to be working for awhile." At the half, the Lions were down by two, 33-31. The rest of the game saw both teams trade leads, setting up the dramatic final quarter. With 26 seconds left on the clock and down by three, Greg Garn, who finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds, took a shot from three-point land swishing it through.

The Township Board open- ed bids from seven contractors during a special meeting at the Fire Bam Wednesday.. Base bids for building of the proposed 40- by 60-foot wood frame construction ranged from a low of $96,298.31 to a high of $209,088. The board is planning a 2,640-square-foot structure with six-inch walls and pre­ engineered roof trusses on a cement slab. Contractors gave estimates of between two and one-half to five months to ^.complete the hall after con■4 struction began.. of the adjacent restaurant the year for $30,000. He had wanted it for earlier in eventual expansion of the resturant kitchen into the older portion of the building. Discussion on a possible sale had been going since early last year, when it was determined that the new addition is sinking due to deterioration of debris from earlier buildings used as fill on the site prior to the 1977 construction. The present township hall is comprised of two parts, the older office section built in 1957 and a newer larger sec­ tion for elections and meetings, added in 1977. Together the two buildings contain approximately 1,960 square feet, with the newer Some of the bids included section comprising roughly two-thirds of the total floor options such as plumbing and heating costs, but those items could be in addition to the base bid in some cases. Bids were also given for a flagpole. space. The board rented the hall from Chapman for several weeks after the sale was finalized. It was used until These ranged from a low of after the November elections. $117 for a 17-foot pole to a Since December the meetings high of $1,945 for a 35-foot have been held at the Fire Bam pending the construction pole.

Anyone interested is urged The board voted to sell the present hall at 98 S. Main St. to attend tonight's hearing. to Clayton Chapman, owner By Teresa Frith Debit or credit card pay­ ment options now are available at Carl’s Grocery in Nashville. Earlier this month, the store added a machine to allow the use of any “Magic Line” bank debit card or “VISA,” “Mastercard” or “Discover” credit cards to buy groceries. “This type of payment op­ tion is becoming the ‘in’ thing,” said store owner Jeanette Joseph. “We had several customer requests for it and decided to put it in.” Only one register at the store is equipped for this pay­ ment option. However, customers can have their pur­ chases rung up at any register and then their card will be taken to the service desk to be run through the machine to pay for their order. Some of the. advantages of this method of payment are that it allows out-of-town customers a way to pay other than cash and it helps against bad checks because funds must be available in order for the purchase to go through. “We have had quite a bit of customers use it since we put in the machine,” said one cashier. “It just takes a little getting used to.” According to Joseph, other registers later may be equip­ ped with the machines if enough customers use this option. Carl’s Grocery cashier Brenda Goodwin demonstrates how a customer's bank debit card may be used to purchase groceries instead of writing a check or paying cash. Lions face 2 state ranked teams this week M.V. Lion eagers ‘lasso’ Bellevue’s Broncos Looking ahead to Maple Valley's game tonight and later on Friday, you can understand the 65-37 beating they laid on Bellevue this past Friday. Tonight the Lions face the No. 8-ranked Class B tea in the state, Battle Creek Pennfield, and on Friday they will challenge ninth ranked Olive. Bellevue probably did not like the look the Lion's eyes had coming into the game. "We're going to have a tough week ahead us," said Maple Valley coach Jerry Reese. "Pennfield and Olivet are both rated in the state and I just hope my squad will be up for the challenge." The Lions were certainly licking their chops against the Broncos going for the early kill on a 12-2 first 3 incumbents, 2 others advance to primary By Teresa Frith All three incumbunts and two others will advance to the Nashville general election March 8 after winning in the Feb. 15 primary. Democrat incumbent Carol Jones Dwyer received five votes and will be joined on the ticket by Ronald Bracy, who also received five votes. Tim Smith received one write-in vote as a Democratic candidate, but officials said it may not enough to put him on Nashville residents placed their votes during the Feb. 15 primary.

Republican incumbunts Jef­ frey Beebe and Suzanne Vanderske received 22 and 19 votes, respectively. They will be joined on the ballot by newcomer Republican Stephen Corwin, who had 21 votes. Defeated was newcomer Republican Bob Harvey who got 15 votes. A total of 39 votes were cast, making a turnout of less than 10 percent of Nashville’s registered voters. This is less than half the number of votes cast in last year’s primary election. Village officials said that perhaps the low turnout was possibly due in part to no opposition on the Democratic ticket. The general election will be held Monday, March 8, with polls open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Nashville Village Hall. quarter run. A lead Maple Valley would extend to 15 by half-time, 24-9. Reserve Bryan Carpenter came off the bench to score a career-high eight points to light the Lions fire. The Broncos did not win a single quarter, much less the game itself. Maple Valley scored at least five more points than its opponents in each period. Fifteen points were the result of good free throw shooting, with the Lions missing the mark only five times all night.

A warrant was issued for the arrest of Linda Jay Rench, charging her with armed rob­ bery. She has been arraigned in District Court and a pre­ exam hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 24. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 26. The robbery was reported to have occurred at about 9 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 16, at the Nashville Amoco station on the corner of Main Street and Route 79. The clerk was robb­ ed by a black woman who said she was armed, but no weapon was seen. While the woman fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash, police suspect a car may have been used. The incident is still under investigation. No one was in­ jured in the robbery. Anyone with any informa­ tion on the crime is urged to contact the Nashville Police Department.

[ ] ’ Doors Open 5:30 • Early Birds 6:00 < i Superintendent’s Corner Property tax system has become shocking! BY Dr. Ozzie D. Parks Recent news released have dealt with the shocking news of large increases in our property assessments. Why are such large increases necessary? What has happened to the property tax system that has been in effect for so many years? I believe that the first and foremost problem is found in the fact that it no longer operates as a system. Those who are in­ volved in determining assessment guidelines apparently have no relationship or coordination with those who determine the need for funds or those who determine the level of state support needed. Assessments are determined largely by current sales of pro­ perty. The sale price are often ont representative of the value of all properties in the area. This has resulted in a highly infla­ tionary rate of assessment and taxes. They need to be better controlled. The Headlee Amendment to our state constitution was sup­ posed to be a solution to the assessment problem. It brought some control over highly inflationary tax increases. However, it also resulted in the reduction of state support, which severely affected our communities and their schools. While helping solve one problem, it caused another. The rollback problem can best be understood by an example. If inflation is 5 percent and assessments go up 10 percent, pro­ perty tax rates must be rolled back by five percent. When the local tax rate is rolled back by five percent, state reimburse­ ment is also reduced by five percent. In districts such as ours, which receive more state aid than local taxes, the result of the rollback is a lower amount of total revenues than the previous year, despite the five percent in­ crease in local taxes! State officials have not been willing to change the state aid formula to make the Headlee Amendment and the total system workable. Local taxpayers have often helped solve the problem of rollbacks by approving overrides. However, the long-term result has been higher local taxes and lower state support. How can ths “shocking” system by fixed? By having our state representatives and leaders develop a system that is coor­ dinated and works for all parties. Let them know that you are tired of being shocked and frustrated by the present situation, and that you expect them to fix the system of taxation as soon as possible. Ignoring the problem will not make it go away any more than would ignoring a short in an electrical system. If we don’t fix it, we can expect continued shocks.

Sixteen-year-old Sara got her wish recently when she was picked out of a field of four candidates to represent the community and its syrup products for a year and reign over the 53rd annual Syrup Festival at the end of April. Her cousin Amy Cole was her inspiration. "Amy was queen 10 years ago and that's when it started," Sara said. Queen Sara shows a sampling of her collection of covered knick-knack dishes.

Room Hastings High School Library s3.00 Service Charge per Dress Family members probably had a lot to do with Sara's aspiration too. Her grandmother Arline Hokanson was on the very first Maple Syrup Queen's court and also served on the second one. Sara's mom, Loa Kinyon was on the syrup court in 1965 for the festival's 25th anniversary. To top it off, her Aunt Paula Cole was an alternate queen and other cousins and second cousins have followed in family syrup royalty footsteps such as Dana Cole who was an alternate queen in 1990, Sylvia Howe Ward in 1960 and Diana Howe Childs in 1962. Queen Sara describes herself as bubbly, outgoing and happy. When classmates sign her yearbook they are always likely to write that she's bubbly, she said. Bom at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, the daughter of Ben and Loa Kinyon, Sara has lived on the same property, on the comer of Bismarck and Shaytown Road, all her life. While doing a research paper for a class, she discovered that the former Shaytown School used to be located on her family's land when the former berg of Shaytown was a thriving community. Speaking of re­ search, Sara said her favorite class is her "research paper" course and Mrs. Martin is her favorite teacher. It was the research paper course that made her change her career direction. "At first I wanted to be a teacher, but then I wrote a paper about teaching and I decided not to," she laughed. Now her future plans are to enroll in the physical therapy assistant program at Kellogg Community College and if she likes the field she may continue her education in a full-scale physical therapy curriculum. "I decided from doing a re­ search paper that it (physical therapy) interested me," she said. A junior at Maple Valley High School, Sara said homework consumes most of her spare time.. Her work has paid off, however because she's been on the honor roll for most of her high school years. Despite all the studying, Sara plays with the high school band, which will be going to Sweepstakes competition in Tennessee and playing at Opryland. She plays both the flute and piccolo, but the piccolo is her main instrument now. Last year when she went to Solo and Ensemble competition she won a "two" rating and received an award for that. Her extracurricular activities have included playing volleyball on the freshman and Junior Varsity teams, except for this school year. She hopes to play again next year. Sara currently is serving her third year on the Student Council and is a member of the Prom Committee. For about three years she belonged to the Vermontville Junior Farmers 4-H Club, involved in cooking and knitting. She has won 4-H awards and participated in the 4-H Style Review several times, wearing pink and red sweaters and mittens and a scarf that she knitted herself. Sara's hobbies include cross-stitching, baking cookies, enjoying all types of music and spending time with her many cats. "I love animals," she said. And her mother adds that Sara always adopts abandoned animals that have been dropped off in the area. "I've wanted a horse ever since I was eight," Sara said. But, so far she only has ceramic ones. She also collects colored glass objects, covered knick­ knack dishes, stuffed animals, including bears that her mother makes. Her favorite book is "The Ultimate Alphabet" by Mike Wilks. The book is actually more of a game than a literary work, Sara explained. It includes artistic renderings for each letter of the alphabet and the challenge is to find all of the objects in each artwork that begin with a particular letter. For instance, there are 360 words beginning with the letter "A" in one of the pictures. When the maple sap starts flowing, Sara plans to gain some first hand knowledge of syrup making by helping some of the local producers. Vermontville's Maple Syrup festivities have been an integral part of Sara's life. At the age of four, she and a group of girls tap danced to "Rub-a-Dub Dolly" in the festival's talent show. Her most keen childhood memories of the festival, however, are the amusement rides. In 1986, at the age of nine, Sara twirled her baton with the Bonnie Blue Bells during the syrup festival parade. She also recalls that she rode on a 4-H float a couple of years and, of course, marched with the junior high and high school bands for many years. And during the festival's craft show, she helped her Mom staff her booth one year. Traditionally, for Sara, Sunday has been her favorite festival day. "We always go on Sunday as a family." She especially enjoys watching the Sunday contests, especially the wood chopping and arm wrestling, Music is a special enjoyment for Sara. She plays flute and piccolo. “At first I wanted to be a teacher, but then I wrote a paper about teaching and I decided not to, now her future plans are to enroll in the physical therapy assistant program at KCC.” 'but Saturday will be (a favorite) this year," she said. Saturday is the day of the queen's coronation. In the year ahead, she is looking forward to going to parades in other cities and representing Vermontville. One of the events the queen and her court are likely to participate in is the Greater Lansing's "Michigan Parades Into the Twenty-first century." Sara and her court, who in­ clude Alternate Queen Shannon Derherder, Stephanie Wakley, and Melissa Melvin, will partic­ ipate in 12 to 18 events throughout the year. She'll also be interviewed for radio. Putting golden maple syrup on French toast is Sara's favorite way to use syrup. She also likes maple cream on toast. Sara sums up her feelings about maple syrup in the fol­ lowing poem she turned in for a school assignment the day before she was selected queen: Maple Syrup by Sara Kinyon " Sap comes from the trees, And is carried away. It is boiled to please, In the tastiest way. Syrup, sugar, or cream, Cook it to what you desire. Smell the sweet steam. Coming off of the fire. Have it for breakfast, Have it everyday, Or have it for desert, It is best that way. Eat it everyday, In every possible way. Pay no mind to what others say, Because maple syrup is here to stay." At the age of four, Sara Kinyon (second from left) was part of a tap dancing act in the Syrup Festival talent show. Pictured with her are (from left) Tina, Laurie, Angie, Joy, Heather and Marci.

Castleton Township Board Maple Valley 6th-graders plan April campout By Teresa Frith Maple Valley sixth-graders at both Kellogg and Maplewood Elementary schools are finalizing plans for an April campout at Mystic Lake Camp. The two-night and threeday adventure starts April 27 and runs through April 29. The cost of the camp is $25 per person and includes meals, lodging and transporta­ tion. Some scholarships are expected to be available if students are unable to afford the cost of the camp. All three local elementary schools are selling a variety of candy from Morley Candy Makers between now and March 1. Money raised from the sales will be used to offset the cost of the campout and keep the fee to $25., Candy orders will be paid for at the time oftheir expected delivery on March 16. Students going on the cam­ pout must fill out the health questionaires and pay for camp by April 16. On March 4, the sixth-graders will see a presentation about Mystic Lake Camp and go on a roller skating party in Charlotte. Cost ofthe skating party is $3. Ted Reid from the Morley Candy Makers company gives some of Kellogg's students a chance to taste the candy that they are selling to help raise funds for the sixth grade trip to Mystic Lake Camp in April.

(230) Sharon Stewart Vermontville Village Clerk �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, February 23, 1993 — Page 9 Kindergarten students in Linda Gaber's morning class at Maplewood Elemen­ tary School celebrate the 100th day of classes by gluing 100 "Froot Loop" cereal circles on paper. • Debra Cooley's second-grade Maplewood students wore collections of 100 items on the 100th day of class last week. Students wore yarn bows, cereal and button necklaces, badges and even a dollar bill. By Teresa Frith What do paper clips, feathers and freckles all have in common? Students at Maplewood Elementary School in Ver­ montville brought in those items and more to mark the 100th day of classes on Tues­ day, Feb. 16. Classrooms came up with their own individual ways to show how to add up to 100. Collections of 100 items were displayed or worn, containing everything from edible items such as cereal, popcorn and cookies, to unusual things like a shirt with 100 tiny holes and a shirt covered with 100 multi-colored yam bows. “Students learned that 100 items didn’t always take up a lot of space and that it’s pretty easy to put together enough of something to make 100,” said one teacher. For the younger kindergarten level students, the day brought an opportuni­ ty to learn the numbers from one to 100. Kids in Linda Gaber’s morning class wrote down each number in order on a long roll ofpaper. They also glued 100 “Froot Loops” cereal pieces on paper. Now that the 100th day is over, students have only about 80 more to count down before summer vacation starts in June. Third-graders in Mary Slag's room at Maplewood Elementary School brought in groups of 100 items such as cookies, paper clips, beads and a shirt with 100 tiny holes in it as part of the celebration of the 100th day of school. One hundred furry friends helped Cindy Baker's second-grade class at Maplewood Elementary School count each of the days they have spent in the classroom so far this year. Replacing windows?

State, Nashville 852-0882 �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday, February 23, 1993 — Page 10 From Our Readers Development must comply with ordinance To the editor: Responding to Mr. King’s recent letter, I offer some ex­ planation about recent council actions on the proposed apart­ ment complex. This complex is proposed for building on property that is currently zoned industrial. This area is one of the few sections so zoned in the village that can be readily built on. This area is located directly adjacent to an in­ dustrial building. The redesignation of the area for the proposed apart­ ment complex would be PUD (planned unit development). The Nashville zoning or­ dinance currently requires that any housing unit developed within the village contain a minimum of 650 square feet. Mr. Lakin, when he first contacted the village, approx­ imately a year ago, was in­ formed of the village re­ quirements. He was also informed of the current zoning of the particular location that he was considering and of other possible locations within the village for such a develop- ment. He chose to continue with his plans and was told by the Village Council and the Planning Commission to pre­ sent his plans when ready, for review and action. When Mr. Lakin recently presented his plans to the Planning Commission, it was discovered they did not meet the requirements of the zoning ordinance. He was informed of the deficiencies and poten­ tial remedies. Mr. Lakin did not make corrections to his plans, but did present the argument at the Village Coun­ cil meeting, that the plans met the minimum requirements for funding through FHA. He also indicated that he had built such developments in other communities and since he had built them in other com­ munities should be allowed to build this one in Nashville. Mr. King indicated, as Mr. Lakin informed the council, that Mr. Lakin had already in­ vested $24,000 in this project and Mr. King seemed to be of the opinion that such expen­ diture required the council to take action that was favorable WET BASEMENT?

This expen­ diture does not require that the Village of Nashville knuckle under to a developer. The Planning Commission has recommended a change to the PUD portion of the zoning ordinance that would allow any developer, not just Mr. Lakin, to build apartment complexes within the village in accordance with less str­ ingent FHA minimum requirements. Action could have been taken, at the recent council meeting, to decide the ques­ tion of rezoning the property from industrial to planned unit development, but Mr. Lakin would still not have been able to build his apartment com­ plex according to his proposed plan. The Village Council correctly tabled action on the rezoning until after a hearing on the change in the re­ quirements for the PUD. With regard to the “Mulberry Fore” project, there has been no attempt by that developer to build a pro­ ject that would not be within the requirements of the zoning ordinance, as it is currently written. In general response to Mr. King, the process to allow Mr. Lakin to build his apart­ ment complex has not ended negatively. The apartment complex must be built, if it is built, in accordance with the zoning ordinance of Nashville and appropriate building or­ dinances of the state. There does seem to be some question whether we, the village, need more senior citizen housing. The village currently, according to the 1990 census, has a high percentage of its housing units occupied by senior citizens. The hope is that this com­ plex will allow senior citizens, now occupying units more suitable to families, to relocate to these units. If they relocate to this complex, it will be only if it is built to their satisfaction. 1223 LAKEVIEW DR., LAKE ODESSA Phone 374-4881 Ronald W.

Simpson went 3-1 and fin­ ished second for the day, scor­ ing his first win in a pin over Chad McNees of Martin at 1:21 Then came a pin over Heath Bercaw from Bronson in 1:45. Simpson then got the best of Homer, Homer's Chris Purucker that is, in an 8-3 deci­ sion to advance to the finals.

Snow then split the last two matches losing to Jake Kubiak, 6-2, in the third round, but emerging with a 5-0 victory over Jason Bailey in the last match. Bowen went a different route, first capitalizing on a technical fall over Matt Coburn of Galesburg-Au­ gusta, 15-0, as a result of an injury default. Quincy’s Jason Whittenmyer then lost a 9-6 decision to Bowen in the second round. Though Bowen won his fourth round match due to a injury forfeit over Climax Scot's Brian Davis, he could not get by Bronson's Larry Stuckey in the third, losing 10-4. Lion matmen make it to district finals Maple Valley emerged vic­ torious in its opening round Class C district tourney match Wednesday against Potterville 52-36. Olivet however, did not treat the Lions so kindly, ending Maple Valley's season at 5-12 overall with 48-22 verdict in the District No. 182 tournament finals at Bellevue. The team's only loss be­ tween weight classes 130 and 160 was in the 152 class. Grant Simpson (130) pinned Gary Whitford in un­ der a minute (:58) and Tom Synder pinned Ryan Martin before the crowd could get a drink, in 19 seconds. In the battle of Jasons, the Lions' Jason House (171) pinned the Vikings Jason Smith in 3:11. At 140, Matt Bowen scored a major decision over Mike Milboume, 10-0. Mike Morgan (125) and Jesse Snow (135) each earned six points for their team through forfeits. Pulling out wins versus the Eagles in the finals were Simpson, Snow, Bowen and House. Simpson pinned Loel Vafilion in 3:13 and Snow won over Tyler Watson in 1:00. Racking up his seond ma­ jor decision of the day was Bowen, downing Olivet's Kirk VanDemoortell, 12-0.

This past Wednesday and Thursday for Maple Valley could never be mistaken for the same day, like it was for Bill Murray in- "Groundhog Day." After crunching Portland St. Patrick in three matches on Wednesday, the Lions ran into trouble with state-ranked power Battle Creek St. Phillip on Thursday. Though they lost 15-11 in the first game, the Lions came back to win the second and third matches to win 15-5 and 17-15. "We were really moving the ball, and basically, playing some of our best game this year," said a happy Carol Kraai after the St. Patrick victory. Stephanie Bouwens paced her team with 17 assists and Renee Rosin and Jennifer Phenix each contributed three aces. Rosin and Lori Carpenter led in kills with five. But the team's fortune against Portland did not extend into their Thursday matchup with St.Phillip, losing to the No. 1-ranked team in Class D, 15-2 and 15-5. "They're pretty a intimidating team when they walk into the gym," said a disappointed Kraai. "And add to the fact we just didn't play that well. St. Phillip's just a good team.” The Tigers were good enough to win the SMAA conference meet this past Saturday as well. Though the Lions lost to St.Phillip in the finals, 15-2, 15-3, the team did finish second with wins over Olivet 15-11, 15-6 and Bellevue 15­ 9 and 15-4. Overall, the Lions sport a 15-15-1 record.

Nielsen also had a fine game off the boards, pulling down eight altogether. Reese said he was not pleased with his team's effort in the first half. "We didn't execute as well as we should have," he said dejectedly. "We turned the ball over 19 times in the first half and just couldn't hang on to the ball." Reese's team did shoot six for 12 from the floor in the first half, but his team's only lead was a 5-4 score early in the first period. Larry Roush scored nine for Bellevue. Maple Valley now stands in second place in the Southern Michigan Athletic Association with a 3-1 mark and are 6-10 overall. Bellevue drops to 0-4 in league play and 3-13 overall. Though Lakewood emerged victorious over Maple Valley last Tuesday night, 56-42, it was not the prettiest of victories. "Our goal going into the game was to cut down on turnovers, " said Viking coach Mike Maciasz. "We did in the first half, but when we could've put them away in the second, we didn't." The Vikings committed 17 turnovers in the second half alone, eight of which led to easy Maple Valley layups. After they had fallen behind by 15- and 19-point margins since the second period, the Lions were able to narrow the gap to 11 points in the third quarter. However, the Vikings, be­ hind the hustling Steve Netzel, who pestered the Lions the whole contest, managed to make baskets when they counted. Netzel finished with 16 points, and when he wasn't putting the ball through the Results from Maple Valley's last night's remake with Hopkins were not available at press time.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 121 - No. 31 — Tuesday, March 2, 1993 Area legislators talk here about school finance reform at forum Barry County State Rep. Bob Bender and Eaton County State Rep. Frank Fitzgerald speak with audience members after the school finance forum at the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School last week. The forum was put together to explain some of the recent tax reform proposals now being discussed at the state level. By Teresa Frith Three state legislators spoke last week Monday on recent property tax and school finance reform proposals be­ ing discussed in Lansing at a forum at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. The purpose of the forum was to give community members a chance to get upto-date information from state and local officials and to offer ideas on current tax reform issues. The main topics of discus­ sion included the six property tax and school finance reform proposals in Michigan, Michigan Education Assess­ ment Program (MEAP) testing, and recent re­ quirements for state endorsed diplomas. State Rep. Frank Fit­ zgerald, from Eaton County, began the discussion by outlining two of the tax plans being strongly considered — Gov. John Engler’s tax cut proposal he outlined in his “State of the State” message and the Bi-partisan Legislative Team, or “Team' 14” proposal. “Educationally there is a number of issues going on, but the principal ones are school finance reform and property tax reduction,” said Fitzgerald. “These issues will be driven to a resolution because of the high property tax assessments going out this year.” Engler’s tax cut proposal would reduce from 50 to 40 percent the portion of a pro- perty’s market value against which millage is assessed. Property owners then would receive a 20 per cent tax cut. Engler’s plan does hot deal with school funding, but says that the state would replace money school districts would lose through the property tax cut. An estimated $433 million would be required to reimburse the schools for the cost of the tax cut. In order for Engler’s plan to go into effect, it must be ap­ proved by the State Legislature. The Senate has passed the plan, but not the House as yet. Another plan highly rated is the Bipartisan Legislative Team (BLT) proposal. This one would cut homeowners’ and farmers’ property taxes State Rep. Glenn Oxender (R-Sturgis) speaks to an audience at the forum on school finance reform held at the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School last week. Oxender outlined some of the tax reform proposals now being discussed at the state level, particularly the Bipartisan Legislative Team (BLT) or "Team 14" plan. for school operating funds by 50 percent. The state income tax then would be raised from 4.6 to 6 percent, while the personal exemption would be raised from $2,100 to $3,000. Voters in the 1994 general election also would be given the option of increasing the sales tax from four to six cents to fund either a rollback of the income tax or total elimination of property taxes on homes and farms. This plan would give each school district a basic grant of $4,850 per pupil in the 1993-94 academic year. The amount would be adjusted each year to reflect changes from prior year state and local tax revenues and pupil counts. Districts wishing to increase spending independently could ask local voters for a tem­ porary local income tax hike. If approved, some of the Two suspects caught in Vermontville robbery By Teresa Frith Two male suspects were ar­ rested Saturday in connection with the robbery Thursday of the Vermontville Independent Bank. The third suspect, however, is still at large, but some of the money taken has been recovered. In a related incident, the Hazel Park Police Department Police were on hand shortly after a robbery occurred at the Independent Bank in Vermontville Thursday morning. The Eaton County Sheriff's Department is looking for three white male suspects in their late teens to early twenties. near Detroit receovered two of the guns believed to be used in the robbery after a high­ speed chase. The suspects, as they were apprehended, were driving a vehicle reported stolen from Delta Township in Eaton County. The vehicle was reported stolen four hours after the robbery. The Eaton County Sheriffs Department still is seeking in­ formation about the suspect at large. Authorities said three gun­ man robbed the Independent Bank at 194 S. Main Street in Vermontville Thursday morning. The threesome entered the bank at 11:10 a.m. and demanded money. One suspect was armed with a long gun and the other two had handguns. No one was injured during the robbery. The suspects fled the bank in a pick-up truck with an See Robbery, Page 2 legislative issues of the plan could be put into effect this year, but the sales tax increase issue would have to be put before voters in the November 1994 general election. “These two plans frame the debate somewhere in the middle,” said Fitzgerald. “Common ground must be found to put together a workable plan.” State Rep. Bob Bender of See Finance reform, Page 2 Election set Monday 3 Nashville Council posts open in primary By Teresa Frith Three incumbents and two others will vie for three, twoyear positions open on the Nashville Village Council in Monday’s general election. Two Democrats, incumbent Carol Jones Dwyer and Ronald Bracy, will be joined on the ballot by Republican incumbents Jeffrey Beebee and Suzanne Vanderske and newcomer Stephen Corwin. Tim Smith received one write-in vote during the Feb. 15 Democratic primary, but according to the Board of Canvassers, it was not enough to but him on the general elec­ tion ballot. All candidates have said they feel they have good reasons for keeping or seeking a position on the council. Beebee has said he is for controlled growth in the village and that he is in­ terested in the welfare of its citizens. Beebee has held his present position on the council for about two years. .Vanderske is an office manager at the Michigan Livestock Exchange. “I am also for progress,” she said. “I enjoy working with the village and want to continue to help it to improve and prosper.” Newcomer Corwin is a car salesman at Renner Ford in Hastings. He was unavailable for comment. Democrat incumbunt Carol Jones Dwyer is an advocate of community involement. She was out of town last week and couldn’t be reached for fur­ ther comment. “If re-elected to a position on the Nashville Village Council I would continue my efforts to make local govern­ ment fair and open to all,” she said in an interview two weeks ago.

The board made the deci­ sion at a special meeting Wednesday evening. AC Construction was the low bidder of seven contrac­ tors who had given bids on the project ranging from $96,298.31 to a high of $209,088. AC Construction officials have told the board that they could begin construction this month if desired. Their bid stated that it would take three months to finish the building after construction was started. Steve Augustine of AC Construction was on hand to answer any questions. One au­ dience member asked whether or not Augustine planned to buy his supplies from local businesses. Augustine answered that he did. AC Construction is not a newcomer to building projects in the area. The company is responsible for building the recently opened new Good Time Pizza resturant, the ad­ dition to the Nashville Methodist Church, and an ad­ dition built on to Nashville’s Putnam Library. Prior to the special meeting, a public hearing was held to discuss the bids with township residents. About 25 people were on hand to ask questions and voice their opinions on the project. The majority of the audience was in favor of ac­ cepting a bid and starting work on a new hall. “Common sense says that we get this thing going and get a new hall built,” said one resident. “Let’s do it now and get it done.” Nashville resident and Village Council member Jef­ frey Beebee was on hand to offer an alternative suggestion to building a new hall. He of fered to rent his building on Main Street as a location for a township hall. He estimated that it would cost about $25,000 to build to suit any needs of the township and said he would give them a lifetime lease on the property. “I am not in favor of that suggestion,” said Township Supervisor Justin Cooley. Township Trustee Bill Wilson added, “I feel it would not be proper to enter into such an agreement with taxpayers’ money. We would have nothing to show for it.” Audience members asked the board if there was enough money in township funds to cover the cost of the new building. Cooley said there is about $102,000 available at this time in the Township Im­ provement Fund that can be used for the building. “We have enough money to pay cash right now if we had to,’’said Cooley. The board is planning a 40-by-60 foot wood frame, 2,640-square-foot structure with six-inch walls and pre­ engineered roof trusses on a cement slab. The board plans to build the new hall on a lot on Reed Street near Carl’s Grocery. In April, the board signed an option to buy the lot from Joseph and Sons, owners of the Carl’s Supermarket chain that includes stores in Nashville, Sunfield, Lake Odessa and Dimondale. in the Nashville Fire Bam since after the November elections. Additonal discussion on the building of the .iew township hall is expected at Wednes­ day's regular board meeting in the Fire Bam at 7 p.m. V.F.W.

Chairman ~ Jo Ann Rice nroEE Superintendent’s Corner Qualifications for board members discussed B BY Dr. Ozzie D. Parks This is the time of year when we begin to think ahead to the annual school election. One ballot issue is a given. We will be voting for members of the board of education. Board members are normally elected for four-year terms. The terms are staggered so that we vote on at least one or two open positions each year. In cases involving resignation, members are usually appointed until the next election and the person elected fills out the remainder of the term. Board members are an important part of a quality school. They determine the policies, programs and progress of the school. It stands to reason that board members should be well qualified for the positions they hold. The olnly legal qualifications for board candidates are that they be a registered and qualified elector of the district. More important are the personal qualifications. The essential per­ sonal qualifications include: a belief in the importance of a quality education for every child; respect for the personnel who are hired to provide programs and services for the students; and willingness and ability to work with others toward a common purpose. If you or someone you know fits these qualifications and is willing to serve, please contact my office for a petition which will qualify them for a position on the ballot in the annual election. If we want high quality schools we must have highly qualified board members. Think about it and then do something about it. It is important for our children and our community. The original township hall building at 98 Main St. was sold to Clayton Chapman, owner of the adjacent resturant for $30,000. He wanted it for eventual expan­ sion of the resturant kitchen.

Miller Staff Writer A day on the ice brought 4­ H members and families to Jordan Lake for fishing, food and lots of fun Saturday. The event was the result of a unique idea of 4-H outdoor leader Jeff McCausey and Jerry Varney. Some youngsters brought just their ice fishing poles, but others came prepared for the day with ice shanties, tents, three-wheelers and an array of equipment to make sitting on the ice more pleas­ ant while awaiting the bite of a fish. McCausey provided each of the more than 75 guests with a jig, a small painted hook, bait and literature on the 4-H Outdoor Sports club which includes activities in fishing, trapping archery or shooting sports for youth from 9 to 19 years of age. "The goal of the club is to give kids a chance to learn more about outdoor sports the fun way, through handson activities," says McCausey. To warm the body and keep the energy up, hot dogs. hot cocoa, doughnuts and McDonald's drinks were available on shore. Gary Botek from Fred Trost's sportsman's associa­ tion was on the lake to assist ice anglers, as were Don Wyser and Brent, and also Dave of the Michigan State Police. Helping set up for the event were Scott Matel and PJ. Vroman. Helping to sponsor the ice fishing event were Lake Odessa merchants K & E Tackle, Felpausch, Carl's Market, Wendal's Bait and Tackle (which donated all the bait), Earl's Sport Shop and Buckhorn Tackle Shop. Hastings merchants and organizations donating were Al & Pete's Sport Shop, Felpausch, K mart. Plumb's, Joining in on the fishing fun on the ice are Tim and Darlene Rumsey of Nashville with their youngsters Amanda, 6, Tim, Jr. 10, left, and David, 9 right.

The only “no” vote cast in voting on the budget came from trustee Richard Tobias, who said he was concerned about Nashville’s expected contributions to the fire department, amublance board and the transfer recycle board. “I feel that since Nashville residents are also residents of Castelton Township, that we are being charged twice for services,” said Tobias. “As an elected official I feel that I must make this double­ dipping clear to our citizens. ’’ Tobias was referring to budget items from the general fund for Nashville’s expected payments to the fire and am­ bulance boards of $15,000 each and a $5,000 payment to the transfer recycle board. The ambulance and fire deparment budgets each con­ sist of payments of $15,00 from Nashville, Castleton Township, Maple Grove Township and $1,000 from Kalamo Township. The transfer recycle board consists of payments of $5,000 each from Nashville, Castletown Township, and Maple Grove Township. VerVer­ montville and Vermontville Township share a $5,000 fee. The council agreed to look into the matter and stated that if action were taken, the adopted budget could be amended if necessary. In other money matters last week, village office manager Cathy Lentz will receive a raise from her present salary of $214 to $225 a week and Treasurer Lois Elliston will get a cost of living adjustment of 17 cents an hour. In other business last week the council: — Approved a request by the Maple Valley Co-op Nursery to recognize it as a non-profit orgnization so it can apply for a gaming license from the state. If the state ap­ proves the license, the nursery plans to hold a raffle to raise funds for operating. — Issued thanks on behalf of the Village Department of *3 Public Works to Boy Scout Josh Cerny for his help collec­ ting Christmas trees for recycling in January. — Approved a motion to blacktop the parking lot behind the council office at an approximate cost of $3,500. — Approved a motion to advertise for bids for local trash pickup in the village. Bids must be received by the council by March 25. — Scheduled a public hear­ ing for 7 p.m. Thursday, March 11, to hear comments on the Planning Commission’s recomendations to amend the zoning ordinance PUD sec­ tion, Chapter VIII, Section 8.04. The hearing will take place prior to the next council meeting, which will follow at 7:30 pm. Phase II z F* Resale Clothing Tailoring S* WE NEED...

Susan Word. Pastor Jim Noggle will begin serving as pastor of Millville United Methodist Church in Stock­ bridge. Rev. Word has recently completed serving as interim pastor for the Vermontville Congregational Church. She will be serving as pastor for Peace and Quimby United Methodist churches, effective March 1. "Pastor Susan brings to the ministry here many gifts and graces," said Pastor Noggle, "and the kids love her already." The churches will cele­ brate Pastor Word's coming with an afternoon of singing and fellowship on Sunday, March 7 at Peace Church, 6043 Scott Rd. in Nashville. The welcome will be from 2 to 4 p.m. and will feature many old, as well as new gospel songs. The public is invited to come and meet the new pastor. The "After School Spe­ cial" provides a unique op­ portunity for Rev. Word. What began as an effort to reach out into the commu­ nity in November, 1990 has grown to a major effort on the part of both Quimby and Peace churches. During the 1991-92 school year, atten­ dance grew to an average of 25 each week. With that growth new innovations have been necessary. The formation of two age groups was an effort to tailor the program to the differing needs of the kids. This year a third age group has been added, with average atten­ dance of 40 kids. Ages range from pre-school to high school, with something for everyone. "After School Special" meets on Wednesdays from 4 to 5:30 p.m. when school is in session. The kids are able to enjoy a nutritional snack followed by stories, games, video and Bib’e lessons. Each month the kids are treated to a special guest ap­ pearance. Along with the special guests, the kids en­ joy a birthday party each month to celebrate their birthdays.

Michigan is a national leader in contamination cleanup because of its highly industrial environment. Over 2,700 new toxic waste sites are identified each year in this state. Old landfills and buried drums and tanks are the main culprits, but even old mining sites can contaminate water and soil. An alert system is available to citizens to call 24 hours a day to report pollution sites to protect citizens. Sometimes a train derail­ ment will release poisonous gas fumes and the area will have to be evacuated. The En­ vironmental Protection Agen­ cy will clean up and oversee the waste site. Lion Tail Twister “Sweet Gene Fisher” presented Irwin a gift of Vermontville maple syrup for his program. Lion President Elon Baker an­ nounced that eight Lions will attend the White Cane Sym­ posium in St. Johns Saturday. The annual Kids’ Night will be held Tuesday, March 23, on the Lions’ regular meeting night. Lion Mike Visger reported that the Maple Valley High Senior Boys’ Night will be March 30.

The party is held in recogni­ tion of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Queen and her court. This year’s queen, Sara Ki­ nyon, alternate queen Shan­ non Derherder and court members Stephanie Wakley and Melissa Melvin were special quests at the party, which started with a potluck dinner. Fem, Martha and Larry Gearhart, local maple syrup producers, were on hand to boil the syrup for candy. The syrup was provided by Hill Top Maples syrup producers Karen and Don Hickey. After dinner, everyone was given a small bowl of maple syrup that had been heated to about 238 degrees Farenheit. The bowls were stirred vigorously until the syrup began to thicken and change into a lighter color. Spoonfuls of the thickened syrup were then dropped onto wax paper and hardened into sugar candy. The evening was rounded out by musical entertainment from Pete Dull and the Old Timers. Foreign exchange student Solange Avila of Peru also was there with her sponsors, Sharon and Bill Mason of Vermontville.

Bill Farnsworth, assistant principal and athletic director, said the idea of building a weight room came about about one year ago. “The Student Council thought of the idea of a weight room,” said Farnsworth. “It took this long to get the blueprints drawn up, get organized and get the building finished.” The 28-by-40-foot structure sits on school grounds near the portable classrooms. It is heated, carpeted, restroom equipped and has a security alarm system. Equipment available includes more than one ton of free weights, a universal machine, an aerobic exercise machine and leg machines. The project was built entire­ ly with free labor by many volunteers. Local contractor Steve Prid- dy helped to design and build the weight room free of charge. According to Farn­ sworth, Priddy Spent four to five weeks, several hours a day working without pay. “The volunteers did it all for the students,”he said. Several other people spent four to six weekends donating their time on the contraction of the building. Some of the main volunteer workers were Gary St. Onge, Bill Kipp, Mike Schneiderhan, Dan and Dave Finkler, Bill Farn­ sworth, Don Roscoe and Dar­ rell Hale. Donations of sand and gravel for the foundation and walkways came from Hamilton Excavation in Nashville. Don Rasey of Nashville Hometown Lumber sold construction material to the school for cost. About $500 worth of weight equip­ ment was donated by Doug Ayle. Donations and free labor brought the cost of the building down to $14,000. According to Farnsworth, the actual worth of the weight room building is over $20,000. The $14,000 was raised through $3,000 from the Maple Valley School Board, $1,000 from the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters and the rest through Student Council fund­ raisers. The weight room is open only to Maple Valley students in grades 9-12 who have at­ tended a weight lifting safety clinic. It is also open to Maple Valley athletic groups. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday before school from 6:30 to 8 a.m. and after school from 3:05 to 4:30 p.m. “We hope to be able to open the weight room to the local community through the Community Education office by next year,” said Farnsworth. The room will be supervis­ ed by staff volunteers. Students must check in with a supervisor and have his or her Maple Valley ninth-grader Josh Brace works out on a leg press exercise machine in the high school's newly opened weight room building. The room is open to students in grades 9-12 who have attended a weight safety clinic. name appear on a list of those who have completed the safe­ ty clinic. Additional safety clinics will be held whenever a need is shown. According to Farnsworth, about 75 students have attend­ ed the clinic and are now eligi- ble to use the weight room. "We want to stress that this facility isn’t just for the Maple Valley athletic teams,” said Farnsworth. “It is open to all the students, male or female in grades 9-12. About 30 per­ cent of those currently show- ing an interest in the weight room are female.” Farnsworth added, “The students are very excited about the opening of this weight room building. They are eager to begin working out.” Area girl wins speech contest semi-finals FASSETT BODY SHOP By Teresa Frith Maplewood fifth-grader Amanda Briggs placed first in the semi-final round of the McDonald’s “When I Grow Up” speech competition.

Briggs was selected from among 19 other fifth-grade students from schools in area communities. The contest was held at Oakwood Elementary School in Portland Feb. 18. All students wrote and presented three-minute speeches outlining their career goals and how they intended to achieve them. Each speech included an example of so­ meone in their chosen career field whom the student admired. Speeches were evaluated in four categories: content, creativity, delivery and stage presentation. Fifth-grade judges included: John Lonstreth from the Michigan State Police, Pam Miller of the St. John’s McDonald’s, Joanne Lovell of the Portland Public Schools and Catherine Hoort, attorney. Briggs said that she owes part of her success to practic­ ing her speech in front of some of the other classes at Maplewood. She, along with 11 other fifth-graders, have qualified for the state level of competition, which will be held at Lansing’s Everett High School Saturday, April 3. Briggs won a certificate of participation, a $10 gift cer­ tificate for the school’s Book Fair from the PTO, a framed picture of herself and a blue ribbon. The first-place winner at the state level in Lansing will receive a $300 U.S. Savings Bond and an opportunity to spend the day with a profes­ sional in the career of the child’s choice.

The Eagles should remain ranked in Class C top ten polls after Friday’s win. Maple Valley can still wrap up second place in the league with a win over Battle Creek St.Phillip on Friday. "That is what we'll be shooting for," said Maple Valley coach Jerry Reese. "We just have to focus on that goal the rest of the week." The Eagles, who won each quarter from the Lions by three points or more, led at the half by 10. They were able to extend that lead by 18 at the end of the third. Leading Maple Valley in scoring were Gabe Priddy's 16 points and Greg Gam's 14. Ed Collins led both teams with 25 points and Jeff Carlson netted 19 for the winning team. Maple Valley converted on T9 field goals and was 4-10 from line. The Lions (6-12, 3-2) will battle Pottersville tonight at home. Pcnnfield, which was ranked No. 8 in state Class B play, was a bad host to Maple Valley last Tuesday night. It was not a game. Maple Valley coach Jerry Reese and his team want to remember. He's probably forgotten about it already. Okay, maybe the score, 72­ 41, but it's doubtful he'll for­ get the team's dreadful third quarter. "We came out flat in the third," he said. "After break­ ing their press in the first half, we couldn't fight Pennfield's half-court trap." The Panthers' trap produced 19 Maple Valley turnovers in the third quarter alone. Not the game, the third period alone! In the second and third quarters combined, the Lions only scored seven points to the Panthers' 43. Late in the second quarter, the two teams were tied at 18 and everything was moving along for the Lions. They were breaking Pennfield's press, getting good shots, all while playing against a ranked team. But then Maple Valley committed six straight turnovers allowing Pennfield a 13-point uncontested run to close the half at 31-18. "That killed us," Reese said, "We never recovered af­ ter that.” Three Lions led the team in scoring with seven points each, Brian Carpenter, Mike Trowbridge and Brent Stein. Regionals mark ends of three Lion matmen seasons Of the three wrestlers the Lions placed in regionals. Grant Simpson was the only one to emerge with a victory. Simpson (130) and team­ mates Jesse Snow (135) and Matt Bowen (140) ended their seasons in individual regionals held at Olivet this past Saturday. Simpson's lone victory came over Mark Gilbert of Hudsonville in an 8-0 major decision. His two losses were at the hands of Manchester's, Brent Woods, 16-6, and Tim Sullivan of GalesburgAugusta, 7-5. Simpson's final season record stands at 27-8. Randy Mapes of Addison and Ken Bird of Springport, scored 9-0 and 7-1 decisions, respectively, over Snow in his two matches. On the season, Snow com­ piled a 14-12 mark. In the 140 weight class, Bowen could not get by Jonesville's Gary Estel, los­ ing to him 16-12 in his first During the three-day con­ vention, FFA members from across the state will gather to conduct business and to recognize fellow members for their outstanding achievements.

On Tuesday night the Lions traveled to Pennfield to take on SMAA foe, the Panthers. It was a very slow start for the Lions trail­ ing 8-0 early and 18-13 at the end of one. In the second, nothing would fall for the Lions as Pennfield went on a 12-4 run to lead 30-17 at the half. Poor shooting plagued the Lions all night as they were only 5-31 in the first half and 16-61 for the game. In the third, the Lions pulled to within nine points three times, but that was as close as they would get as Pennfield went on to win 52-42. Dick Baker led the Lions with 15 points and Keith Carpenter added 11. The Lions traveled to Olivet on Friday to take on the match. Bowen, 23-9 on the year, also lost to Brian Duvall of Manchester 13-10 in his last match.

Olivet took the early lead 8-2, but the Lions fought back to take a 13-12 first quarter ad­ vantage. Pressure defense by the Eagles in the second was too much for the Lions as they were outscored 14-2. In the third the Lions narrowed the gap outscoring the Eagles 12-8 to trail 33-26. The fourth saw the battle continue as the gap narrowed to three with 10 seconds left. A missed freethrow by the Eagles gave the Lions a chance, but they missed a tying three with four seconds to go. Olivet then went on to hit one of two freethrows to seal the win 45-41. Baker led the Lions with 11 points, Greg Halliwill added 7, and Jeff Pennington 6.

Walker had been sought since escaping Hazel Park Police earlier in the week after being pulled over for speeding.

The getaway truck was recovered a short time later at the Maple Valley High School parking lot. It had been reported earlier as stolen from Shelby Township, northeast of Detroit. Both Grant and Slayton were on parole at the time of the robbery. Both are being held on $100,000 bond.

OKs moneysaving changes to hall plans By Teresa Frith Castleton Township Board members approved changes in building plans for a new township hall that will save them more than $2,800 off the original bid. The board last month ac­ cepted the bid of AC Con­ struction of Nashville to build a new town hall building at the cost of $96,298.31. After discussing the building plans with the company, the follow­ ing money-saving suggestions were approved: — A $900 savings by changing from cement walls to a block construction. — A $300 savings if it is found a survey is not needed. — A $550 savings by get­ ting an estimate of $2,200 from Consumers Powers for the cost of putting in electrici­ ty versus the contractor’s estimate of $2,750. — A $592 savings by using fire-coated blown-in insula­ tion versus fiberglass insulation. — A $700 savings by using a full one-half inch OSB roof board instead of three and one-quarter inch OSB board. Already subtracted from the above figures, was approval for putting on a shake shingle roof versus a three-in-one shingle roof for an additional $240. The board also approved an advance purchase of part of the building supplies from Nashville Hometown Lumber in order to save money in the See Hall plans, Page 2 A sure sign of ‘spring The weather finally warmed up last week and Nashville's Boy Scout Troop 176 took to the streets to harvest the first maple sap of the season.

Nick Evers of Gove Associates Inc. in Kalamazoo points out the boundaries of the Downtown Development Authority district being formed in the village of Vermontville. Vermontville Council establishes DDA, approves 1993-94 budget By Teresa Frith The Vermontville Village Council has decided to establish a Downtown Development Authority(DDA) in selected areas of the village. The action was taken by council last Thursday, pur­ suant to Michigan Public Act No. 197 of 1975. A public hearing was held prior to the vote to discuss boundaries and the powers and intent of the DDA. In­ terested residents were on hand to hear the presentation, given by Nick Evers of Gove Associates Inc. “The intent of forming a DDA at this time is to help the village to get grants that other­ wise wouldn’t be available to them,” said Evers. A DDA is a tool by which a governing body can provide for renovation or rehabilita­ tion of a declining downtown area, without any additional taxes for the public. It pro­ vides means to help keep the tax base up in the district and benefits all properties within its boundaries. ‘ ‘These things can’t be done overnight,” said Evers. “The next step is to form a specific downtown improvement plan.” The council selected 13 members for appointment on a DDA board. The members are Village President Sue Villanueva, Doug Durkee, Mary Trowbridge, Carl Smith, Nyle Wells, Teresa Doyle, John Chames, Russ Bennett, Harold Stewart, Dan Smith, Kay Marsh, Bob Mansfield and Tony Wawiernia. The village council will have the final say in all mat­ ters that the board discusses. The DDA Board will be responsible for such things as preparing an analysis of economic changes and the im- pact of metropolitan growth taking place in the downtown district and developing longrange plans designed to halt the deterioration of property values in the district and to promote its economic growth. Three residential property owners whose land was in­ cluded in the proposed DDA district boundaries asked that their properties be removed. They were concerned about the possibility of their taxes being raised due to being in­ cluded in the district. The council agreed to remove their properties from the district boundaries. “We don’t want to take anything away from anyone,’’said Village Presi­ dent Sue Villanueva. We want to improve things within the district and make it a better community.” In another matter Thursday night, after a second public hearing, the council approved the appropriations of funds for the 1993-94 village budget. The adopted budget in­ cludes revenues of $160,900 in the general fund. The money would be distributed the following ways: $39,798.70 for the legislative account, $22,764.30 for the general government account, $47,444 for the public works account, $500 for recreation and culture and $50,393 for debt service. Expected revenues for Other accounts were: water fund, $68,650.50; sewer fund, $59,750.10; major streets, $59,102.40; and local street funds at $20,382.40. These figures don’t include the money from the $400,000 ex­ pected to be received from the “Rebuild Michigan” grant recently awarded to the village. A third public hearing was held to discuss implementa­ tion of a two-hour parking limit between C Street and First Street, otherwise known as the 100 block of South Main Street. Council members agreed that the parking limit would go into effect in the designated area as soon as signs could be printed and posted. They also considered posting signs that would direct people to long­ term parking areas in order to accommodate those needing more than two hours to com­ plete their business. According to the recently adopted uniform traffic code, the village may chose to hire See Budget, Page 8 In This Issue... • Hastings woman bound over on Nashville armed robbery charge • Maple Valley seniors win top academic honors • Prince and Princess crowned at homecoming ceremonies • Troll book fair planned at Maplewood Elementary �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 9, 1993 — Page 2 HALL PLANS, wake of ^expected , pVice increases.• ' ' .

It will be built on a lot on Reed Street near Carl’s Supermarket. # continued from frontpage Also on hand to talk to the board last week was Ronna Boucher, representing Mulberry Fore golf course owners Tim and Alice Boucher. Boucher came to the meeting to speak to township residents who are concerned over the proposed plans to im­ prove and expand facilities at Mulberry Fore golf course at the north edge of Nashville. “I came here tonight to clarify or correct any informa­ tion on the expansion plans,” said Boucher. “I want to move ahead with this project in a positive manner and be Mapes Family Florist 107 N.

The Castleton board has received several letters from residents, both for and against the proposed expansion plans. Board members said the mail is running 90 percent against the project. According to board members, the main item of contention seems to be the proposed RV park planned on the north side of the course on a parcel lying outside Nashville village limits. Plans call for 127 long-term and 23 short-term sites for recrea­ tional vehicles, plus support facilities. Audience members opposed to the RV park spoke of con­ cerns that property values would drop and the impact the park would have on the en­ vironment and agricultural land in the area. “This is probably a good project, but I don’t like how the final plans are forming,” said Township Supervisor Justin Cooley. “I would like to see the RV park relocated. Boucher answered that the proposed expansion plans of­ fered much more than just an RV park. “I want people to unders­ tand the whole project bet­ ter,” she said. “It is really more of a golf resort with the 55 Or Older?

Parks We often use the term “community education” when we want to communicate the fact that our school wants to serve all age groups in the community. Another way to use this term is to acknowledge that educa­ tion takes place in many places throughout the community and is not confined to schools. The homes, churches, service clubs and other organizations in our community all play important roles in providing education to all age groups. When we look at our most successful students, we often note that they tend to come from homes that are helpful and suppor­ tive, attend a church regularly, and take part in community organizations or activities sponsored by community organizations. On behalf of our school, which often gets the credit for suc­ cessful students and their achievements, I would like to express gratitude for the parents, pastors, other youth leaders and teachers, and community organizations that help us to provide education. You deserve a large share of the credit. Someone has said, “It takes a community to educate a child.” We agree. We couldn’t provide quality community education without you. : Styles-R-Us Try something Edna Smith to mark her 80th birthday Lite Home Car Business ST.

The total dumber of units has not been established yet, but each two-bedroom unit would offer at least 1,000 square feet of living space, plus an attach­ ed two-car garage and would sell for a base price of about $80,000. Other proposed im­ provements include expansion of the present clubhouse to a banquet capacity of 250, restoration of a bam north of the course for potential development as a bed and breakfast facility, and im­ provements on the driving range. In December the Bouchers were granted a change in zon­ ing from Agricultural-Single Family Residential (R-l) to Planned Unit Development(PUD) by the Nashville Village Council to allow develoment of the con­ dominium units and other im­ provements. They must still seek rezoning from Barry County for the proposed RV park since it is not within village limits. Another concern was the proposed extention of sewer lines from within Nashville village limits to the proposed Mulberry Fore expansion pro­ ject. Though the course is out­ side village limits, it would still need sewer lines. Since the lines would have to be run from inside village limits out to the project, an inter­ governmental agreement would have to be drawn up between the village and Castleton Township for services. Boucher added that the pro­ posed expansion plans are ex­ pected to add about 10 jobs to the area. The jobs would in­ clude some full-time slots and some seasonal positions.

The told the court he was working alone and about to close the store when the woman walked in at about 9 p.m. He said the woman got a bottle of pop from the back of the store and paid for it at the counter. After he gave the woman her change and shut the cash register, the woman ordered him to open it again and give her the cash, the clerk said. He said he told the woman he would not open the drawer, even when she re­ peated her order several times. She finally put her hand in her jacket pocket and demanded the money again saying, "I don't want to hurt anyone," the clerk said. The clerk told the court he did not see a weapon in the woman's hand but he "didn't want to mess around" with her in case she did have one. He said he opened the drawer and gave the woman most of the cash in the register. A customer pulled into the station then, he said, and the woman told him not to "say a word," then left saying she would be right back. He said he closed the store as soon as the other customer left and then calledpolice. Nashville Police Chief Gene Koetje told the court his department had two tele­ phone tips that linked Rench to the robbery. Koetje said Rench was arrested after the clerk picked her out of a photograph lineup of six pic­ tures of women obtained from the Barry County and Calhoun County sheriffs' de­ partments. Nashville police said that though no other suspect was seen in connection with the alleged incident, there could have been another person in a getaway car, despite the fact that the woman reportedly fled on foot. Anyone who might have further information about the incident is urged to call the Nashville Police Department. Vermontville Cub Scout Pack 649 members are given awards.

Students at all three Maple Vallley elementary schools will take part in special ac­ tivities this month to celebrate “March Is Reading Month." Special events that are plan­ ned include: — “Read a Button, Shirt or Cap” days, in which students are encouraged to wear but­ tons, shirts or caps with writing on them. — “Reading Jogs the Mind” day, when students can wear jogging suits with writing on them. — “Read-ins,” inviting kids to bring a pillow and snacks to enjoy while reading. Fuller Street Elementary School's theme during reading month is “We’re Hooked on Reading.” Classes will earn “reading fish” to display in the hallways for ac­ cumulated hours read. For every five hours of reading, each student will earn a fish. Reading notes will be collected by teachers, showing how many hours each child reads at home each week. Prizes will be given to students who bring back notes four out of five days. Teachers hope to encourage parents and their children to read together to promote family time. Maplewood Elementary School Principal Nancy Potter will make her way to each of their classrooms this month to read to the pupils. Each classroom plans to display banners about reading. Amy Toutant’s sixth-grade class at Maplewood started off the month by reading either an autobiography or a biography of a famous person.

By Teresa Frith Fuller Elementary fourth­ graders in Mrs. Retzer’s classroom are learning about career choices available to them when they grow up. To enhance students’ in­ terest and knowledge, several relatives or parents have come to the class to talk about their careers. The class has heard about becoming an emergency medical technician, the owner and operator of a business, and managing an airport. Rick Hammond and Tom Krashen, from the Michigan Bureau of Aeronautics, were on hand last Wednesday to talk to the class about the history of flight and being a pilot. They first showed students a video on the history BUDGET, HOMETOWN^ 852-0882 LUMBERYARD 219 S. State, Nashville VISA (EBOK CREDIT FMAKMC AVAIL* 8 It of flight and answered ques­ tions ranging from “what makes a plane fly?” to “how does a plane fly sideways?” After speaking to the class, the two brought out a flight simulator, which is used to train pilots and reproduces the experience of flying by allow­ ing hands-on use of a mock-up of flight control panels. Each child had a chance to try out the simulator and experience the art of flying a plane. “While many students may not ever earn a living as a pilot, the opportunity to learn how to fly is exciting and can stimulate a child’s thinking as to the career choices available to them,” said Retzer. “It’s never too late to change careers,’’added Retzer. “My husband was working as a computer pro­ grammer and decided to learn how to fly.

It was the second close game between the two SMAA rivals, as earlier in the season the Lions emerged victorious with a 72-70 over­ time victory. But behind Mike Hughes' 23 overall points, including an impressive seven-of-eight ratio in three-point attempts, the Tigers managed to squeak by. "We missed an opportunity to win the game at the end,” said Maple Valley coach Jerry Reese. "We just couldn't get the shot off. In both of our games this week we were hoping to pull out wins, but unfortunately, we ran into two tough teams both occa­ sions." Greg Gam and Gabe Priddy led the Lions with 18 and 13 points, respectively. Garn also finished with eight re­ bounds. The Lions made 20 total field goals, and did hold a one-point advantage after the third quarter, 49-48.

But before the Lions could savor the taste of their lead, the visitors went on a 7-0 run in a quick turn of momen­ tum. Potterville guard, Rich Nimphie, scored 13 of hisl7 total points in the first half, igniting his team to a 21-10 advantage at the seven-minute mark in the second quarter. What went wrong for the Lions is a good question. After all, they were control­ ling Joseph and on most shots, pressing Nimphie back into the comer. Usually when boxed in with nowhere to go, a player doesn't have a prayer. Nimphie though saw his chance through the air, bombing away from three- point range, three of which found the bottom of the net. The Lions' deficit remained at 11 walking into their locker room at halftime, down by a score of 35-24. Hampering the home team’s catch-up effort throughout the contest was rebounding, or lack of thereof. "They had nine offensive rebounds alone in the first half,” said Maple Valley coach, Jerry Reese." We just couldn't make the necessary adjustments." The Lions' G-men of Greg Garn and Gabe Priddy made things close with three-point accuracy in the third and fourth quarters. Out of Garn's 19 total points, 15 were the result of five three-pointers. Priddy scored 16 points off the Lions' second-half spread offense, a system designed to rotate the ball from the out­ side to open man in three range. For most the part, it worked, but so did Potterville's and Joseph's own personal system. An attack that hasn't failed him in the four years he's let­ tered at the varsity level. "You can't take anything away from what he's done," said Reese. "He's just a good ballplayer."

Though the team excelled from the service line, passing proved to be the downfall for the Lions. Up 11-4 at one point, the Lions made a crucial passing mistake, which then snowballed into points for their opponents. Jennifer Phenix and Mindy Shoop led the Lions in kills with three each, while Renee Rosin and Stephanie Bouwens nailed one ace apiece. Bouwens also added nine assists from the two contests. The team finished with a 13-7 regular season record. Schools officials learn of diseases Maple Valley teachers, aides and administrators at­ tended a state-required inservice«program last week on bloodborne diseases and how they are transmitted and prevented.

McDowell spoke to the group on the symptoms, transmission, and prevention of diseases such as Hepatitis, HIV and AIDS. Some of the things learned included how to take precau­ tions against exposure to contaiminated materials by minimizing contact with blood or other bodily fluids, who is most at risk to get these diseases, and the treatment available to prevent or cure them.

The girls take on Hopkins and Bellevue this week to end their season. • NOTICE • The Board of Commissioners for the County of Eaton met in regular session at the County Facilities, in the City of Charlotte on February 17, 1993.

March 9, 1993 — Page 13 Vermontville Women’s Club learns about currency, canes By Teresa Frith The Vermontville Women’s Club celebrated its 53rd birthday Monday with a special dinner and program on early U.S. paper currency and antique novelty canes. Formed in 1940, the club was started by women interested in culture and book reviews, according to Club President Mildred Peabody. "There was no library in town at that time,” said Peabody. "The club worked toward getting one started.” The object of the club is mental growth, tending toward social and civic im­ provement and service to mankind. “We have been active in education, legislature, conser­ vation and international affairs,” said Peabody. "One of our latest projects was the Christmas food baskets. Now we are helping the arts and crafts part of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival.” Monday’s meeting started with a special birthday meal catered by Sandy Kiger of the Stoney Hill Farm Bed and Breakfast Inn. After dinner, Steve Stanton from Stanton’s Auctions gave a talk on early U.S. paper currency and antique novelty canes. He showed club members various examples of paper money made from the 1800s to the present. One of the most unusual ex­ amples that he had was frac­ tional currency. Stanton ex­ plained to the group that more than $369 million in fractional currency was printed by various banks because of the shortage of coins during the Civil War. Fractional currency was made in denominations of three, five, 10, 15, 25 and 50 cents. The money shown to the club is expected to be offered for sale at a future auction. Stanton also showed several types of novelty canes that came apart. Inside each were items ranging from a whiskey decanter to a complete tool kit. Membership in the Ver­ montville club is open to any women interested. Residency in Vermontville is not re­ quired for membership. Dues are S4 per year and the club meets the first Monday of the month at 7 p.m. Unless otherwise announc­ ed, meetings are held at the Vermontville Public Library. Steve Stanton holds up on example of the fractional currency printed by the United States during a coin shortage. It is fractional in size as well as denomination.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 121 - No. 33 — Tuesday, March 16, 1993 Nashville Council to rezone land for senior citizen complex By Teresa Frith Staff Writer Nashville Council members Thursday voted to rezone a 3.5-acre site east of the C-Sil Corporation on Reed Street from industrial to Planned Unit Development(PUD) to accommodate a proposed 24-unit senior citizens apart­ ment complex. Council, during an open hearing, listened to lawyers for developer James Lakin of Portland, explain their inter­ pretation of the village zoning ordinance. Last month, coun­ cil had told Lakin that his propsosed project might be in conflict with village zoning rules due to each onebedroom unit not having at least 650 square feet of living space. Lakin had presented material to council, showing that his proposed project met federal guidelines that re­ quired that the square footage of common areas should be included in determining the amount of square footage per unit. Lakin’s lawyer interpreted the village zoning ordinance to say that footage per unit in a PUD zoned multi-family dwelling could be left up to the discretion of the council. “Your zoning ordinance contains no specific rules for for multi-family dwellings, except in areas zoned PUD,” said Lakin’s lawyer. “We read the ordinance as saying that there is really no required footage at all and that it leaves it up to the council’s discre­ tion. We put in for the PUD zoning because this is the only type of zoning in Nashville that allows for multi-family units.” Lakin’s project is funded through the USDA Farmers Home Administration. The proposed 24-unit apartment complex would consist ofonebedroom units that would be offered to elderly and han­ dicapped people. Although the project is one step closer to being able to begin construction, Lakin still must get final approval from the Nashville Planning Com­ mission prior to starting con­ struction. The Planning Com­ mission meets next week. Council also heard a report from Adult and Community Education director Terry Mix on a proposed project that could renovate Nashville’s Community Building at Put­ nam Park. Federal funding is available from the Job Train­ ing Partnership Act to hire ten 16- to 21-year-olds to do the repair and renovation work needed. “The building is in great need of repairs,’’said Mix. “Our greatest concerns are to work on the lighting and heating problems and do some painting, replace ceiling tiles and insulation and put in See Seniors complex, Page 4 School Board rejects proposed revised budget a second time The Maple Valley Board of Education rejected for a se­ cond time a proposed revised 1992-93 budget Monday and sent it back again to the Finance Committee. The board had expressed concern last month over an expected deficit of $298,545, which would have to be made up from the school’s equity or contingency fund, which stood at $944,655 after an audit ofthe 1991-92 budget. If the expected deficit were taken out ofthe equity fund, it would leave it at approximate­ ly $646,110. The new proposed budget submitted to the board Mon­ day showed little change from the one rejected last month. The newly submitted budget contained changes of an estimated $179,856 in addi­ tional expenditures and $37,673 more in revenues. This would result in a total of $6,739,343 in expenditures and $6,441,659 in revenues, thus showing an expected I requested a list of possible budget cuts and feel that it was ignored. I recommend that this budget not be passed until I get that list. 5 5 — Board Member Ron Tobias deficit of $297,684. Com­ pared to the rejected budget fromTast month, there is a dif­ ference of less than $1,000 in the expected deficit amount. “I requested a list of possi­ ble budget cuts and feel that it was ignored,” said Board Member Ron Tobias. “I recommend that this budget not be passed until I get that list.” Maple Valley School Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks replied, “We have given you a list. You have asked that we cut $100,000 out ofthe budget. It’s not easy to tell people to give up sup­ plies, etc. We don’t see how we can take that much out of the budget.” Parks said employees’ salaries and benefits account for 83 percent of the school’s operating budget, with capital overlay and transportation be­ ing the next largest expenditures. Nearly $72,000 of the in­ creased expenditures comes from budget increases for See Budget revised, Page 2 ‘How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying’ March 26-28 By Teresa Frith StaffWriter Maple Valley High School will present the musical “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” March 26-28 in the audiftfrium. The production is based on the book by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock and Willie Gilbert, and the music and lyrics are by Frank Loesser. A satire on self-help books, the musical is set in New York during the 1960s. The main character starts as a lowly window washer for the World Wide Wicket Company and ends up chairman ofthe board after buying a self-help book on business. A Pulitzer Prize winner, the play is full ofhumorous antics and coincidences that bring the main character through his many adventures. Cast and crew amount to about 40 people, including former Maple Valley High School student Bill Reynolds, who is technical director. Reynolds appeared in Maple Valley’s production of “The Music Man” two years ago as Professer Hill and played piano for last year’s perfor­ mance of “Fiddler on the Roof.” Rehearsals are under way and tickets are -on sale for $2.50 each. Two evening and one matinee performances are planned. There will be no reserved seating and han­ dicapped people are urged to call ahead to make seating arrangements. The cast was chosen by Norma Acker, director and Maple Valley High School English teacher. For the second year in a row, Vickie Diebold will be choreographer. She is a pro­ fessional choreographer in the local area. This year’s music director is Carol Kersten and Jason Leslie Richards stands on a desk while (from left) Jason Harmon, Andy Swartz, Matt Reid, Chris Cooley, Brad Sansom, Rudy Otmer, Will Rooks and Rich Furlong sing "The Brotherhood of Man" in Maple Valley’s spring musical. 6 6 A Pulitzer Prize winner, the play is full of humorous antics and coincidences that bring the main character through his many yy adventures.

Other large increases were $55,710 in special services, $26,384 in general administration, and an estimated $22,571 increase in building and administration funds at Fuller Elementary. “The future of Maple Valley schools rests with what happens in Lansing with the proposed property tax and school finance reforms being discussed,” said Board Presi­ dent Carroll Wolff. “If you have any concern for the future, you should contact your representatives.” He added, “Even if we do nothing and the next year’s budget remains the same as this year’s, there will still be an increased deficit next year. This is due to things like salary step increases and inflation.” Because this year’s property tax asssements are expected to be higher than the rate of in- conf/nued/ron? frontpage flation, Maple Valley expects to have to ask for an override of the Headlee Amendment rollback. Whenever the assessements rise higher than the rate of inflation, the schools lose operating millage unless such a vote passes. “A Headlee Amendment rollback is difficult to pass,” said Wolff. “We could lose a large amount of money.” Wolff said the board could be faced with two decisions: keep using the school equity fund for additional expen­ ditures or ask the public to vote in additional millage increases. “We are here to listen to your concerns,’’said Wolff. “We are willing to try to find places we can cut the budget, but it is very hard. Schools are at a great crossroad and need help. Our big hope is that the state comes through for us.” Tobias restated his concerns that money be available in $ VFW POST 8260 • Nashville, Ml t I Fish & Chicken Fry | March 19,1993 ? « serving 5:30 ?

I would not like to see the funds down to zero.” The board once again will review the proposed revised budget at its regular April meeting. In other business last week, the board: — Voted to allow the Valley Athletic Association to build a track on a site north ofthe school along Maple Mason This Road. site previously had been proposed as the best one for a middle school to be built at a future date. After a lengthy discussion, the board rejected an area west ofthe school, the current location of the school’s agricultural land laboratory. “Area residents expressed great concern over losing the land lab,” said a board member. “They feel that education should come before sports programs.” The Athletic Boosters have collected about $40,000 toward the price of com­ pleting a track. According to representatives at the board meeting, the Boosters estimate that an asphalt track could be ready for use as soon as next y, year, with it being rubberized within two to three years, depending on how fast additional funds are raised. When asked by the board why the money collected couldn’t be used to upgrade the present track located at Fuller School, the Boosters answered that it would cost more money to do that and they were against having the track built at Fuller Elementary. “The track at Fuller Street School is a cinder track and therfore more prone to cause injuries,” said a Booster representative. “There would be a lot involved to upgrade or replace that track and we are totally against one being built in that location.” — Heard a report on the status of the elementary and junior-senior high school gifted and talented programs.

Investigation by the fire marshal showed the blaze to be of accidental origin.

Perkins’ husband, James, was not at home at the time of the fire. According to Wilson, Donna Perkins died of smoke inhalation and was pronounc­ ed dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported.

Even when I have disagreed with them (often!), I have always enjoyed working with the other members of the council. My hope for the 1993-1994 Village Council is that it will begin to take a different at­ titude toward new develop­ ment in town. Too many of the current council members say “yes” to any proposed development, saying “we’re lucky anyone wants to develop anything here.” The problem with this is that ifyou don’t demand quality, you don’t get quality. If council members start to stand up for our community and represent the best in­ terests of people who already live here, they might find that developers are willing to think of the community too and to modify their plans accordingly.

By Teresa Frith Staff Writer Two Vermontville area Girl were chosen as “Young Heroes’’ in ceremonies at the annual Ver­ montville Girl Scout banquet last week. Samantha Cornwell and Lacey Planck received medals for heroism for their courage in fighting life-threatening kidney disease. Both girls have had serious kidney problems. The Young Heroes program is a non-profit organization sponsored by the 127th Tac­ tical Fighter Wing of the Michigan Air National Guard. “We feel that these children face some of the same things as military members might face in war times such as fear, pain and family separation,” said Air Force Major Teresa Borton, 127th Tactical Fighter Wing, Selfridge Air National Scouts Guard Base. “They must display bravery and courage facing their life-threatening situation and should be recognized.” The award is presented to youngsters who demonstrate exceptional courage during treatment for any life­ threatening illness or injury. The object of the program is to pay tribute to the courage and dignity of real life children whose battle in fighting their disease or illness might otherwise go unnoticed. Recipients have ranged from 2-17 years ofage and are given without regard to race, creed, sex or national origin. The presentations are given by Air National Guard members on their own time and at their own expense. The program is funded through voluntary contributions.

It would be funded for a 10-week period and if finished sooner, the workers could be used on other community projects as needed. “We can’t use community education school funds to pur­ chase the materials needed for this project,’’said Mix. “The other problem is that we don’t know how much this will cost. Can the council provide money to help?” Council members and Mix decided to look into the possiblity of local businesses donating materials toward completion of this project.

The program provides therapeutic and recreational horseback riding for the han­ dicapped in Eaton County. Riding takes place behind the Eatonlntermedi ate/Meadow view School at 1790 East Packard Highway in Charlotte. Horseback riding for the handicapped originated in the 1950s in Europe and has been growing and gaining in popularity since that time. For the physically handicapped in­ dividual, riding a horse strengthens the trunk muscles and improves balance. It has been shown that the up and down, side to side, back and forth movement of a horse, transmitted through the rider’s pelvis simulates the move­ ment of the human walk. Riding the horse for the mentally handicapped pro­ vides increased concentration and practice in following directions. For both groups of handicapped people, riding provides a time to socialize with peers and volunteers, in­ crease self esteem and have fun. The ESRVA program is formed entirely by volunteers, except for the instructor, who is certified to teach horseback riding for the handicapped through 4-H. The program is offered to students at no charge. The ESRVA is funded en­ tirely by donations and fund­ raisers. The next fund raiser is an open horse show May 23 at the Eaton County Fairgrounds, Charlotte. Volunteers are needed in many capacities: To lead horses, sidewalk horses (help­ ing students balance), trailer horses, or to help in the free child care provided for the day for children of volunteers helping in the arena.

St. Patrick was born in Scotland about 396 A.D. At the age of 16 he was captured by pirates and sold in Ireland as a slave. After six years he escaped, but decided to return to Ireland later after he became a missionary. There are many legends about St. Patrick. He is said to have used the three leaves of the shamrock to show the religious doctrine of the Holy Trinity. Perhaps this is where the wearing of green comes into the holiday as it is celebrated today. Another legend says that he drove all the snakes from Ireland and forced them into the sea. Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day, a day when most of us find fun in wearing the color green. March 17 is the feast day for St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

The conference was an in­ vitation to sample success, with role model and hands-on sessions for girls and special sessions for parents and educators. The girls were identified by counselors and teachers and received invitations. Each girl attended with a parent. Mid­ dle school/junior high school math/science teachers and counselors were also urged to attend. The purpose of the conven­ tion was to stimulate par­ ticipants’ interest in mathematics and science; to broaden their awareness of career options in mathematics and science; to motivate them to elect higher level math and science courses in high school and college; and to provide female role models and possi­ ble mentors.

The importance of your school’s administrators BY Dr. Ozzie D. Parks When a shortage of finances hits a school, one of the first questions that is asked is “Why do we need so many ad­ ministrators?” I will attempt to answer that question with the assistance of some facts and figures recently published by the Michigan Association of School Administrations. First, the impprtance of a program director, principal or chief administrator in bringing about quality in a school is well established through research. Nationally recognized con­ sultants also have repeatedly pointed out that an appropriate quantity and quality of administrators is essential to the success of any organization. As to the number of administrators, the Bureau of Labor statistics reports that there are 14.5 staff members for every manager in education. This compares with 7.1 in manufactur­ ing, 6.3 in construction and 3.6 in public administration. The compensation paid administrators is often given as a prime reason for reducing their numbers. If you have ever compared the salaries of school administrators with similar managers in the business community, you know that they earn far less than their counterparts. As Gerald Keidell, executive director of MAS A, points out, “If education is to make the changes necessary to meet the challenge ofthe next century, we need to look at what research tells us about strong leadership.” Education is a business that must be well managed. Reduc­ tions in managers can be expected to result in reduction in quality. Ifwe want quality schools, we must maintain an appropriate quantity and quality of administrators. It is just good busniess. COBS Intermediate School Districts. Michelle Engler, First Lady of Michigan, issued greetings.

A few seconds later, Sottillie scored again, cutting the North Stars’ lead to three. A slap shot from Jason Allwardt closed the door on the Penguins and the North Stars came away with a 6-2 win. The revitalized Rangers met the 1992 league champion Canadiens in the final game of the night. The Rangers jumped in front 1-0 on a goal from Craig McDougal in the final seconds of the first period. The only goal in the second period came from Jacob Cole, increasing the Rangers’ lead to 2-0. A pair of goals in the third from the Canadiens’ An­ dy Adams forced the Rangers to settle for a 2-2 tie.

But the Lions, who found themselves only down by five with two minutes remaining, missed on three scoring opportunities in the game's winding minutes, and failing to clear their last leg, losing, 48-39, to a tough Parchment squad. The first quarter proved to be the Lions downfall against the Panthers, as they were outscored by 10, 24-14. In the contest's last three periods, Maple Valley outscored Parchment, 25-24. "We were very excited about the opportunity to play in the finals," said Lions coach, Jerry Reese. "And what I like about it even more, is that we put up a good fight and went down kicking.” The Lions sent their oppo­ sition to the free throw line 12 times versus only one for themselves. The game's final two minutes saw the Panthers convert four out of seven charity stripe opportunities, a deciding factor in the game's final outcome.

Charles Wingate and Mike Neville scored 17 and 12 points, respectively, for the winners. In Thursday's win over the Rams, Jon Mitchell led the Lions in scoring with 16 while Trowbridge added 13.

About 60 people, including nearly a dozen local senior citizens, attended the fourhour sessions sponsored by the Maple Valley chapter of the National Honor Society and the Maple Valley Com­ munity Education program. Students and seniors were invited to share their thoughts and ideas on a number of topics thought up by the Maple Valley Honor Society member Kyle Booher listens intently to local senior citizen Harold Cook talk about how things were in his generation during the sixth annual Senior-Youth Forum at the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School library. Vermontville resident Hildred Peabody joins in the discussions with a group of National Honor Society members during the four-hour Senior-Youth Forum. Honor Society members. These included current events, the outcome of the 1992 presidential election, one’s first occupation, sports heroes of then and now, vaca­ tions and trips, hobbies and how they have changed, favorite childhood memories, and changes or inventions made in our lifetimes. “The forum is a way for us to get to know each other and bring the generations Portfolios help parents, teachers judge student abilities, progress By Teresa Frith Staff Writer Maplewood Elementary teachers and administrators have examined a new way to allow them to illustrate a stu­ dent’s abilities and progress through the use of portfolios. Student portfolios are a col­ lection of children's work that tells the story of their efforts, progress or achievement in a given area through the display of classwork, completed tests, drawings, individual projects, audio or video tapes, or other personal items. They can be used as tools for discussion with peers or parents to show what direction the students aregoing or what they are ca­ pable of doing. “These portfolios can be used from kindergarten through 12th grade and should follow the student along,” said Annette Asby-Riley, Annette Ashby-Riley, (left) director of curriculum and instruction in the Three Rivers school district and Three Rivers teacher Marlene Yearling speak to Maple Valley elementary teachers and adminstrators on the values of student portfolios. director of curriculum and instruction at Three Rivers Community Schools. “It can be used as a valuable aid in seeking a job after high school because it shows the prospective employer what the person is capable of doing.” Teachers can become more aware of how their students understood concepts taught and look for any misconcep­ tions. Students themselves can use the portfolio to exam­ ine their own work and de­ velop and test their ideas. There are three levels of stu­ dent portfolios geared toward grade levels and what is ex­ pected of a child in each. These are kindergarten to grade five, in which the emphasis is placed on projects and the student’s skills; grades six to eight, in ’ which examples of children's skills are shown, such as research papers and audio and visual aides; and high school, where the emphasis is place on employment skills and is resume oriented. “This will be an option that teachers are encouraged to follow,’’said Maplewood princi­ pal* Nancy Potter. “The port­ folio can show clear evidence of what a child can do.” closer, “said Hildred Peabody of Vermontville, one of the senior citizens attending the forum. The idea for a Senior-Youth Forum originated at Green­ ville High School a number of years ago and was suggested locally by Daryl Hartzler, the husband of former Communi­ ty Education Director Kay Hartzler. Young people as well as old seemed to enjoy the interac­ tion between generations. “We get a chance to see how they lived and to unders­ tand things from their point of view,” said Maple Valley Honor Society President Aaron Smith. Another student summed up his reaction to the forum with enthusiasum, saying it was “Really cool!” The forum was staged bet­ ween 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the high school library and in­ cluded a potluck lunch.

Parks I recently received a copy of the 1992 Michigan Education Poll, which was conducted by Public Sector Consultants Inc. of Lansing, in cooperation with the Michigan Department of Education. The stated purpose of the poll was “to inform state education policy makers about opinion on education issues.” It included some interesting facts and thoughts. I also had the opportunity to visit with some of our foreign exchange students recently. They shared some interesting questions about education and rural communities. The poll information included the report that “seventy-seven percent of the respondents register some level of agreement with the statement that increased use of computers in the classroom is likely to. improve schools.” However, a breakdown of how different groups responded to the statement indicated that people in rural areas were the least supportive of this statement. The foreign exchange students said that small towns in European countries do not usually have schools. Schools are locatedd in the larger cities. Their small towns are therefore in­ habited primarily by older people and are dying out as part of their society. Will our rural schools and communities go the way of those in Europe? Is the lack of appreciation for the role of computers and modem technology in education a reason why rural schools do not receive the kind of financial support provided to city schools and why some appear to be in danger of closing? Having been involved in rural communities and schools for most of my life, I hope that the answer to the first question is “no.” However, because the answer to the second question may well be “yes,” I am concerned about the possible future of rural schools and communities. Without a belief in and sup­ port for modem technology, our rural schools and com­ munities may become relics of the past, as they have in Europe. Must history in Europe be repeated in the “new world?” Possibly, but not necessarily. History doesn’t just happen, it is made to happen by people just like you and me. It has been said that those who do not know history, learn from it, or act on their knowledge and condemned to repeat it. A key ingredient to any vibrant rural community is its school. A key to any progressive school today is technology, including computers. Does technology have a cost? Yes. Is it worth the cost? I believe that the answer is yes. You need to determine your answer. Whichever it is, it could have a major effect upon the history of our schools and community. The relationship between technology and our communties appears to be that important.

One of the steps in making an abacus required pounding the pieces of frame together. Fifth-graders (from left) Melissa Dickey, Chris Wilkwire and Stephaniie Ayers put some of the frames together on an assembly line in Judy Tuckey s Kellogg classroom. by Teresa Frith Staff Writer What has 450 holes, more than 1500 colored beads, about 100 pieces of wood and dozens of tiny tacks? The answer is 25 abacuses, which are Chinese calculating devices, being built on an assembly line in Judy Tuckey’s fifth-grade classroom at Kellogg Elemen­ tary School. Students in Tuckey’s room are learning about assembly lines and factory work of the 1920s in their Social Studies class. “We thought it would be fun to set up our own assmbly line in our room,’’said Judy Tuckey. “We wanted to make something that everyone could learn to use and could take home with them.” Tuckey’s husband, Dave, helped make all the parts and drilled all the 450 holes by hand. “We want to thank him for his hard work,” said Tuckey. “He first showed me how to make an abacus and now I’m showing my students how to do it.” Students on the line also learned good saftey measures by wearing safety glasses. Were it an assembly line in a real factory, they would be wearing hearing protection as well, according to Tuckey. Everyone in the class got a chance to work at each of the building stages on the assembly line.

Students also learned how each of the various tools used in making abacuses worked prior to the start of their pro­ ject. Tools used included a tack hammer and special magnets to keep track of the tiny tacks used to pound the frames together. The assembly line work was filmed on video tape to be shown to family members.

College students who report D and F grade point averages consume an average of II drinks per week, according to Tom Lucking, executive director of Gateway Services, a local chemical dependency treatment center. •'On average, those students who earn A grades consume only three dnnks per week." said Lucking. The director said the facts were learned from a recent survey of 56,000 students conducted by researchers from Southern Illinois University and the College of William and Mary in Virginia. It is the largest survey ever of college drink­ ing habits and their consequences. The survey also showed that drinking is more pervasive at small schools than at bigger ones. Students at schools with enrollments of less than 2,500 consume nearly seven drinks per week, but those at schools having an enrollment of 20,000 or more consume about four and one-half drinks weekly. A drink is defined as "a bottle of beer, a glass of wine, a wine cooler, a shot glass of liquor or a mixed drink. Researchers explained that this clarification ensured more reliable reporting by students. The report showed the following average number of drinks per week by grade de point average (GPA): A, 3.45; B. 4.95; C, 6.77; and D or F, 10.87. "Other findings," accor­ ding to Lucking, "included 42 percent of students reported binge drinking within two weeks prior to the survey. Driving while intoxicated was reported by 36 percent of the students." Using historic statistical data, the application of the lat- ter percentage to the entire college student populations, suggests that 20.000 students may die in alcohol-related car crashes each year. "That's the entire student population of a major university.” said the director. Lucking also suggested that the relationship between academic achievement and alcohol use is "reason enough for parents, students and educators to confront the pro­ blem. Add in the connection of binge drinking, property damage and crimes, and we move to a higher level of concern.” Two of the symptoms associated with the disease of alcoholism arc uncontrolled use of alcohol (binge drink­ ing) and denial that the person abusing alcohol has a problem. “Early identification of the problem, getting the affected person into treatment, may prevent serious consequences -- including death. Alcoholism can be a fatal disease. But recovery is possi­ ble. and the sooner treatment is started, the sooner recovery can be achieved." said Lucking. Information about alcohol abuse, about treatment and about how to get friends or relatives to seek treatment, can be obtained from Alcoholics Anonymous. AlAnon or treatment centers such as Gateway Services in Kalamazoo. Phone numbers for AA and Al-Anon are in the local phone book. Gateway's is 1-616-382-9827.

Activities included basket­ ball, volleyball, movies and cartoons, and a variety of crafts. Admission was $1 each or up to a maximum of $5 for families. Crafts included tin art, making gliders, bead crea­ tions, clothespin animals and shell jewelry and other fun projects using felt, crayons, markers, paint and paper. “This is our way of bring­ ing the YMCA to the outreach areas,” said Barry County YMCA outreach director Steve Laubaugh. “We try to do this twice a year during the winter months when there is less for people to do.” Raquel Hawks works on her tin art picture while her mother, Kelly, and instructor Kristen Laubaugh give encouragement during the YMCA Family Fun Night at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School.

Bulbs for spr­ ing and summer and annuals for instant color — it’s hard to imagine a garden without them. Annuals and bulbs are the subject of a new publication from the Michigan State University Cooperative Ex­ tension Service. It’s “Grow­ ing and Using Annuals and Bulbs,’* Extension bulletin NCR 399, and it’s available now at county Extension Ser­ vice offices around the state. The publication covers garden planning and design, selecting annuals, buying and growing annuals from seed, controlling pests and diseases, and growing annuals in con­ tainers, as well as buying bulbs, using bulbs in the land­ scape and storing bulbs. Charts listing blooming times, heights, plant spacing, flower colors, light requirements, and tips on growing and using these plants make it easy to find the annuals and bulbs that are just right. The bulletin also lists an­ nuals that have performed well in the Horticultural Demonstration Gardens at MSU, sources of annual seeds and bulbs, and books for fur­ ther reading.

March 23. 1993 — Page 11 Bruins still remain undefeated The Red Wings iced the Penguins 6-3 Tuesday night for their first win of the season. by Art Frith The Bruins remain unde­ feated and in sole possession of first place in the Kellogg Floor Hockey League after the third week of play. Monday night, the Flyers and Canadiens faced-off in the opening match. The Canadiens were all but shut down by the Flyers in the first period. Scott Van Engen had a pair of goals and Krystle Stampski a sin­ gle, with an assist from Van Engen. In the final minute of the second period, Kevin Mcngyan passed the puck to Andy Adams and the Canadiens were finally on the scoreboard. A double as­ sist from Tiffany Sparks and Lauren I lansbarger to Trisha Johnson put the Flyers ahead 4-1. Lee Gould had an unas­ sisted goal and a pair of as­ sists, while Van Engen and Stampski each added single goals for the Flyers in the third period. Adams and Christine Desrochers scored for the Canadiens in the closing minutes, but it was­ n’t enough to prevent the Flyers from soaring away with a 7-3 win. In other games Monday, the Maple Leafs and Rangers skidded to a 2-2 tie, while the Blackhawks trounced the Penguins 8-10-4. The Northstars lost 3-1 to the first place Bruins in Tuesday’s opening match. The winless Red Wings and Penguins were the pair­ ing for the second game, which could be one for the KFHL record books. April Musser and Buddy Musser scored back-to-back Red Wings goals in the early minutes of the contest. Steven Frith scored first for the Penguins with 5:21 left on the clock. Doug Crutcher was next to score for the Wings, followed by a goal from the Penguins’ Travis Shance. A total of nine penalties were handed out before the end of the first period. At one time, due to numerous penalties, the Penguins out numbered their opponents on the floor by a two-to-one margin. Unfortunately, the Penguins failed to capitalize on the situation as reflected by the 9-3 final score. In the final game of the evening, the Canadiens squeaked by the Maple Leafs 6-5. Six more games were played over the weekend. Friday’s results: Maple Leafs 9-Penguins 3 (Richard Smith scored 5 goals for the Leafs); Northstars 5-Red Wings 4; and the Flyers and Bruins match ended in a 3-3 tie. On Saturday, the Flyers trounced the Blackhawks 6­ 2. The Flyers’ victory came as a result of hat tricks by Trisha Johnson and Lee Gould. Adam Watson and Andy Ewing scored the pair of goals for the Blackhawks. In other action Saturday af­ ternoon, the Canadiens de­ feated the Northstars 5-2 and the Penguins, who are still looking to post their first victory, were demolished by the Rangers 9-3. Tonight, the Canadiens take on the Red Wings, fol­ lowed by the Blackhawks and Maple Leafs, with the Rangers and Bruins finish­ ing out the evening.

Nashville area Girl Scouts hold Ladies and Gents Banquet By Teresa Frith Staff Writer Nashville Girl Scouts held a Ladies and Gents Banquet Thursday at the Nashville Baptist Church. The girls were asked to bring a male “date” at least 16 years old to the banquet. Their date could be an older brother, father, uncle, grandfather or any other male. About 160 people including scouts, guests and leaders at­ tended the banquet with repre­ sentatives from each of the lo­ cal Nashville Girl Scout troops. The evening started with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and the reciting of the Girl Scout Promise. A special dinner followed, served by volunteer mothers. Andy Adams, Tom Powers, Dan Potter, Tim Rumsey, David Rumsey, Scott Van Engen, Casey Van Engen and Brandon Garvey, brothers of some of the girls, served as waiters during the dinner. After the dinner, some of the girls provided entertainment. Bethany Adams and her mother, Janet, played two songs on the piano. Elizabeth Potter also played a selection on the piano. Girls from Troop 678 sang the Barney theme song, Troop 678 sang Kum Ba Ya, and the Daisies sang a song about having pa­ tience. Guest speakers for the night were District Girl Scout Cookie Chairwoman Mary Guiter, who spoke on cookie sales; Fuller Street Elementary School Principal Sue Hardy, who spoke about her previous experiences being a Girl Scout leader and how the scouts help one become a good leader; and Marjie Converse, who talked about how spending time with dads is important and her experiences as a Girl Scout. The evening’s entertainment continued with group singing of several special Girl Scout and Brownie songs and a drawing for door prizes.

EJlilGJ DIRECTORY Students in Gerrie Long’s second grade class at Fuller Street Elementary School sat down to a. hot and healthy breakfast in their classroom last week. The children have been stu­ dying nutrition and the four basic food groups in their science and health class. The unit is part of the Michigan Health Model. “We have been talking about which foods are good for you and which foods aren’t,’’said Long. “The children are learning how to plan meals and are writing about their favorite breakfast, lunch and dinner foods.” Parent volunteers Ann Taylor, Wendy Blakely, Julie Hamilton and Lynn Denton were on hand to cook the meal of scrambled eggs and toast with margarine, jam, honey or cinnamon, and milk and juice to drink. Fuller Principal Sue Hardy was guest of honor at the breakfast and sat at the head of the table with some of the students during the meal. One of the objects of this unit is to teach the children why it is important to eat right, according to Long. The class members also made posters and wrote in their journals about good foods and nutrition.

The council heard an update from Adult Education Director Terry Mix on the proposed Job Training Partnership Act project to renovate and repair Nashville’s Community Building at Putnam Park. The project would be federally funded and provide on-the-job training to Barry County youths ages 16-21. The work would be supervised by adults and people adept in the fields of plumbing and electrical work. It would be a 10-week project and if finished sooner, work could be done in other needed areas in the village. “The reaction of local mer­ chants has been very good,” said Mix. “We are already get­ ting offers of donations from pop and snacks to other mate­ rials needed in the project.” Flyers are being circulated around the village by students See Council, Page 2 Snow, Andy Swartz, Jamie Jones, Marie Balcom, Melissa Richards, Jenifer Ryan, Shannon Fawley and April Blakely.

Parks Xc ^tE y. •-is is11* JwiSf ■ ’Ibis Min, ■W IH By the time this article is printed, it is hoped that a proposal has been developed and approved at the state level that will provide greater equity and stability in school funding. The pro­ posal should provide for greater progress and achievement in schools such as ours. A funding system that provides some schools with three times the funds per child as another system, does not provide any consistency in funds from one year to the next. And a system that does not make amounts known to schools until after their budgets must be approved, is one that needs to be changed. The proposed reform would make school spending per pupil more equal while maintaining high quality, reduce schools’ reliance on local property taxes and reduce and limit property assessments. These changes would be made possible by pro­ viding guaranteed funding to each school, reducing school tax levies to 20 mills, and increasing the sales tax by two cents. Voter approval of the proposal would usher in a more equitable and stable education for our children. Educators could then put their best efforts into activities, which involve learning, rather than into millage campaigns, making reduc­ tions and preparing for the worst each year at this time. There.is an old saying that “three things never change death, war and taxes.” However, modem medicines and treatments have helped people live longer and healthier lives and modem weapons and strategies have made it possible for us to have fewer and shorter wars. It is now time that a modem system for school funding is adopted, which will provide better and more stable education for our students. More information will be provided on the proposed changes when it is available. If you agree that it is a good proposal and one that will help our students to achieve a better education, please join with others who will seek to have it passed into law. Our economic and educational futures are in need of it.

Noihville, Tuesday, March 30, 1993 — Poge 4 Over 30 cars enter Pinewood Derby race; winners announced The snowfall on the first day of spring did not prevent the Cub Scouts of Pack 3176 from competing in the 1993 Pinewood Derby at Kellogg Elementary School March 20. More than 30 care were entered in the annual race, which has become somewhat of a tradition for many Nashville families. Besides racing down the wooden track, all cars were judged for best design. After two hours of racing, three Cubs came out on top of the pack. Jake Goodner took first-place honors, followed by Mike Reid in second and Zack Vorce in third. All three will represent the pack in the District Pinewood Derby. In the “open” category, Rick Stephens and David Stephens, both former members of Pack 3176, placed first and third re­ spectively. Amanda Rumsey was awarded second place. Goodner picked up his sec­ ond first-place award in the “Best in Design” category. Second and third places were awarded to James Frith and Ben Swan. $ $ sx x First through third place winners in the open category for Nashville Cub Scout Pack 3176 Pinewood Derby last week were (from left) Rick Stephens, Amande Rumsey and David Stephens. *< i'R ™hi $ § aX S* XI ni#1* aX a inKA ttni* bjaW jaiiW Winners of the best design for the Pinewood Derby cars this year for first througn third places were (from left) Jake Goodner, James Frith and Ben Swan. Maple Leafs take over first place in Kellogg Hockey League by Art Frith The fourth week of play in the Kellogg Floor Hockey League saw a perfect record fall and a new team assume the No. 1 slot in the stand­ ings. The Bruins, who began the week undefeated, suffered their first loss of the season Friday night, at the hands of the Maple Leafs. The Bruins’ of­ fense, which previously had dominated opponents, was in­ effective against the Maple Leafs. Trish Sloan scored the Bruins’ only goals of the match, a pair in the first pe­ riod. Josh Oleson delivered a hat trick and the Leafs led 3-2 at the end of one. Brandon Garvey found the Bruins’ goal twice in the second period, while Richard Smith, Nick Noggle and Jessica McIntyre scored in the third to give the Maple Leafs an 8-2 victory. In Friday’s other pairings: • The Flyers demolished the North Stars 9-1. Scott Van Engen scored four goals, Trisha Johnson and Lee Gould each had a pair, and Casey Van Engen added one. The North Stars' only score of the game came from Jason Allwardt. • The Red Wings slipped past the Blackhawks 4-3. Top scorers were Doug Crutcher for the Wings with a hat trick and Chris Ewing with a pair for the Blackhawks. When the dust had settled Saturday afternoon, the Maple Leafs found themselves in sole possession of first place thanks to a victory over the North Stare. But their ascent to the top spot did not come easy.

Three minutes later, the North Stars took the lead when Scott Ashley sent the plastic puck flying past the Leafs’ goalie twice in 15 seconds. The Maple Leafs picked up a pair of goals, one each from Jane Spears and Heidi Eberly, to lead 3-2. Early in the third period, Nick Noggle delivered on a slap shot for the Leafs, but Luke Rodgers scored two minutes later, cutting the Leafs’ lead to one. A goal by Josh Oleson with 4:07 re­ maining to play secured the 5­ 3 win for the Maple Leafs. Also on Saturday, the Canadiens struggled against the winless Penguins. Jeremy Barlow was first to score for the Canadiens in the first period. The Penguins picked up a pair of goals from Steven Frith and took a 2-1 lead going into the second period. Andy Adams tied the match at 2-all with a Canadiens’ goal four minutes into the second period. A goal by Josh Pierce put the Canadiens back on top with 3:52 showing on the clock. The e Penguins enguns made ma e it a 3-3 -3 game with a goal from Pat Chaffee.

The selection of Stanley Trumble was announced re­ cently by the Vermontville Maple Syrup Association, sponsors of the festival. Trumble will be honored in Saturday morning ceremonies and will appear in the Syrup Festival parade that afternoon as its grand marshal. Trumble served as president of the Maple Syrup Association for at least 10 years until Eugene Fisher took the job over about two years ago. Trumble also has been in charge of advertising and promotion for the festival. He also has held the position of master of ceremonies during past festivals. “I was involved with making maple syrup when I was in high school," said Trumble. “I don’t make it now, but the festival is a time to see friends, and the grandkids have lots of fun.” He owns the Trumble Insurance Agency on Main Street in Vermontville. He sells different types of insurance such as auto, home and life. He is also a representative for Mariner Financial Services, which deals with stocks, bonds and other types of securities. Trumble started his insur­ ance career in 1954 with New York Life and opened the Trumble Agency in 1976. He has been active in many different types of organiza­ tions in his life. Some of these include being a member of the National Guard for 10 years and reaching the rank of First Lieutenant, serving on the Hospital Board at Hayes Green-Beach in Charlotte, be­ ing a past president of the Vermontville Lions Club, a past member of the Eaton County Board of Commissioners, a board member for the Vermontville Congregational Church, and serving as both a past Vermontville village president and council member.

The Trumbles have raised four children, two sons and a daughter, who still live in the local area and one son who re­ sides in Indiana. Trumble says that he feels the festival has developed into one of the village biggest projects. “The Maple Syrup Festival is a good thing for the vil­ lage,” said Trumble. “It has grown a lot over the years and is a good thing for organiza­ tions such as the Band Boosters, Scouts, etc. to help them earn money.” Trumble also says that Vermontville means a lot to him. “My family and I have spend most of our lives here in Vermontville. The village has been very good to us and I’m happy that we have been able to give something back to it.” Engagements Steward - Bever The engagement of Jennifer J. Steward, Delton, to Donald L.

New ordinance proposes tree planting in Vermontville A public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 8, at the Vermontville Village Hall to discuss a proposed new ordinance to allow planting trees on private property. The ordinance would cover planting sugar maple trees in property owners' yards and stipulate that the Vermontville Maple Syrup Association would be allowed to tap the trees when they reach maturity. This is part of an effort by the village to plant new sugar maple trees to replace the older trees that are dying out in order to help preserve the maple syrup industry. Don and Karen Hickey of Hilltop Maples are starting the project by donating a number of young sugar maple trees to the village. Anyone interested in having trees planted on their property within the village is urged to attend the public hearing.

M.V. tries cooperative teaching experiment by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Introduction to Business students are getting the benefits of two teachers this six-weeks period, as Maple Valley tries out a cooperative teaching experiment. As part of a new core curriculum scheduled for next year. Intro to Business students will study selected sections of different subjects mixed into their normal classes. In order to see how this will affect students, Gail Johnson and Gary St. Onges are teaching the special threeweek courses to each other’s students. Johnson is teaching "Superwrite," an alphabetical method of shorthand, to one of St. Onges’s classes. St. Onges is teaching the basics of Business Law to some of Johnson’s students. Business law was chosen because not enough students had signed up for the full course, so it could :ai •:7 not be offered. “We have switched classes for three weeks in order to try this out,” said Johnson. “At the end of that time we will evaluate how things went and see how it all worked out.” Superwrite was chosen because it is a subject that eventually will be taught throughout Michigan, according to Johnson. It may be offered as a separate course at a later date. “We’re trying this out this year because we’ll have to do it next year,” said Gary St. Onges. “Then we will teach different parts of the required core curriculum to each other’s classes.” • NOTICE • Annual — Township Meeting Notice is hereby given, that the next Annual Township Meeting of the Elec­ tors of the Township of Vermontville, County of Eaton, State of Michigan... will be held at: The Opera House Beginning at 7:00 P.M.

(503) name came from by calling on four students to help him demonstrate the rope used for sounding the depth of the Mississippi. From there, the program is a blend of Mark Twain’s life, with stories by Twain and Mississippi River lore. The mix of each program depends on the audience. Lower elementary students may hear the California tale, “Jim Baker’s Blue Jay Yam” or “Punch, Brothers, Punch” with a jingle at its center. Or maybe they’ll meet Tom Sawyer as he “allows” his friends to whitewash Aunt Polly’s fence for him. Upper elementary students will want to encounter the celebrated “Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” or maybe learn of Huckleberry Finn’s problems trying to outsmart a country-wise woman while he is disguised as a girl and discover the bravery and cool logic of Tom Sawyer when he and Becky Thatcher are lost in a cave. State of Wisconsin Circuit Court Dane County PUBLISHED NOTICE Case No. 92SC16528 Plaintiff: Diesel Truck Driver Training School, Inc. Hwy 151 & VV P.O. Box 47 Sun Prairie, Wl 53590 vs. Defendant: Donald Glass 6374 M-66 Nashville, Ml 49703 You are being sued by The Diesel Truck Driver Training School in Small Claims Court. A hearing will be held at the DANE COUNTY COURTHOUSE, 210 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.; Madison, Wisconsin, Room 100, on April 16, 1993 at 9:00 a.m. or thereafter. If you wish to contest, you must file a written answer by the above named date with the Dane County Clerk of Courts, Small Claims Division, and a copy be sent to the Plaintiff. If you do not appear or file a written answer, a judgment may be given to the person suing you. A copy of this claim has been mailed to you at the ad­ dress above. ,...... “Mark Twain” will mix parts of his fascinating life with interesting information about the Mississippi and blend this mixture in and around the storytelling. Students will join Twain to il­ lustrate the size of Huck Finn’s raft and share some little-known information so they might play a “trick” on those people who think themselves Mark Twain experts. With drawings and sound effects, Twain will bring his 45-minute program to an end with Halley’s comet, marking Twain’s death, just as it did his birth. Twain encourages the students to read his books and stories. And with the sound of a paddle wheel boat and the call of “Mark Twain” com­ ing from it’s deck, the author bids farewell.

Voted in Thursday were President Dennis Vanderhoef. Management Vice President Steve Corwin, Community VP Karen Kirchhoff, Individual Devel­ opment VP Dawn Hall, Treasurer Tom O’Brien and Secretary Cass Ramey. Jaycees stands for the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce. It consists of young people between the ages of 21-39 interested in developing the community, themselves and others through chapter programs. The Jaycee concept is the equal emphasis given to the development of the total person through community service and chapter manage­ ment. The symbol for the Jaycees is represented by an equilateral triangle surround­ ing a circle, which repre­ sents the member and his or her development. Each area is totally dependent on the others. Some of the opportunities available are leadership de­ velopment, family life pro­ grams, financial and person­ nel management, training skills and various commu­ nity projects such as benefit dances, drug awareness, scholarship funds and many others. The Maple Valley Jaycees meet the first Thursday of every month at 7 p.m. at the Maple Valley Jr-Sr High School. First year member­ ship is $40 and thereafter it is $35 a year.

National Honor Society inducts 22 new members By Teresa Frith Staff Writer The Maple Valley High School local chapter of the National Honor Society inducted 22 new members into its ranks last Tuesday night. In order to become a member of the National Honor Society a student must first have at least a 3.3 grade point average. The Honor Society pin has on it the initials C, S, L, S and a torch which stands for the light of knowledge. The initials stand for character, schol­ arship, leadership and service. A student must pos­ sess all of these in some form to become a member. “It takes more than good grades to become a member of the National Honor So­ ciety,” said advisor Gail Johnson. The induction ceremony included speeches by officers and members of the local chapter. They talked about the group’s recent trip to Toronto and the Senior­ Youth Forum held last month. President Aaron Smith welcomed new members. Presentation of the new Refreshments were served after the induction.

As I will be graduating from Michigan State 'Univer­ sity in a month with a bachelor’s degree as a land­ scape architect, I have been reflecting upon all the years it took to get me here. Through this introspection of my past I find concern for the kind of self image Maple Valley is building in their students. I grew up in the Maple Valley school system and very rarely was treated by my teachers as someone who ac­ tually had some potential in life. From my experiences at Maple Valley I know that the faculty do a poor job of direc­ ting and encouraging students in the years after high school. One reason for this is the stereotyping that occurs among the faculty, which labels the students on the basis of their family history or in which extracurricular ac­ tivities they participate in, for the rest of their high school career. I know from my own ex­ periences that it is very hard to break out of that mold in which you are placed. I We Give Mature Drivers, Home Owners And Mobile Home Owners A+ Savings.

ALVIN EASTMAN graduated with honors in the top 20 of my Cl&ss at Maple Valley High School and was never asked into the Honor Society, which was, by the way, reserved for Homecoming king and queen, athletic •Stars, and the cheerleaders. I was also told by several faculty members that architec­ ture was a poor career choice for me since I was only a mediocre math student and had no background in ar­ chitectural drafting. I feel the basis of my academic perfor­ mance in math and the lack of participation in an architectural drafting course, which probably wouldn’t have made any difference anyway, is not a secure foundation to be in­ structing me on what to do with the rest of my life. I feel I should have had more support and encouragement in the matter. I am proud to say that I was number 22 out of more than a hundred students, in which only 35 are selected, to be ad­ mitted to the Landscape Ar­ chitecture Program at Michigan State University. The dramatic change in my academic standing, I believe, was the positive reinforce­ ment from professors which was not present in high school. Without positive rein­ forcement it makes it awfully hard, if not impossible, for a student to believe in his or her self and their dreams. It is like trying to climb a mountain when stumbling blocks are constantly thrown in the way. My point is that Maple Valley should seriously con­ sider what exciting oppor­ tunities they can unlock in their students. If a high school student is reading this now and is unsure of whether or not they can accomplish their dreams based upon what Maple Valley staff or anyone else is telling you, I would personally like to tell you to break out of that mold and reach for the stars. Make it your mission to prove them wrong by conquering your dreams and making them reality. Take it from someone who has climbed that moun­ tain and reached top... it’s some kind of view.

I �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 6, 1993 — Page 5 Eggs appear in Easter customs in many places By Teresa Frith Staff Writer Which came first, the rab­ bit or the egg? Eggs are a widely-known Easter custom in some shape or form in nearly all countries that cel­ ebrate the holiday. Perhaps this is because the egg has always been a symbol of new life and the beginning of life. It sym­ bolizes the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the birth of spring when Easter is cele­ brated. An old legend in mythol­ ogy tells of a World Egg that broke into two pieces to form the Heavens and the Earth. There are many simi­ lar legends in places all over the world. Through the ages, egg coloring can be traced back to the year 1230, but the ac­ tual giving of them as Easter presents is only known as far back as the 16th or 17th centuries. In those times there were many strange customs associated with eggs and the Easter season. In Poland, if a girl wanted to become engaged, she would wrap a brightly col­ ored egg in a handkerchief with the man’s initials em­ broidered into the corner. If he accepted the proposal, he was to return material for a dress, a handkerchief or brightly colored ribbons. Eggs laid on good Friday were accredited with special powers. If you kept one for 100 years, its yolk was said to turn into a diamond. Or, if you cooked a Good Friday egg, it was said to serve as a powerful amulet against death or could be used to help grow better fruit trees or other crops. The decoration of Easter eggs ranges from simple dyeing to being encrusted with gold and precious gems. Some of the ways to color eggs are with vegetable dye, lining with paper or using a wax crayon to write a message and then dipping the egg into a color­ ing solution so the message becomes readable. In past times roots, leaves, onion skins, and other natural sub­ stances were used to dye eggs. Some eggs were decorated with paintings of animals, crosses or other symbols. Some of these had special meanings. A sun stood for good fortune, a rooster for the fulfillment of one’s wishes, a deer for good health, and flowers for love or charity. Colors could also have a special meaning. Red most always stood for the blood of Christ, for example. In the 1880s candy eggs with little windows and miniature scenes were popu­ lar as Easter gifts. In churches, eggs were blessed and eaten to symbolize the beginning of a new life with the resurrection of Christ. Also, this was to celebrate the end of the season of Lent, when eggs couldn’t be eaten. Many games are played with eggs at Easter. There are egg rolls, races, and a game of cracking eggs to­ gether with the winner being the one whose egg remains unbroken, In many countries, it is the Easter Bunny who brings the Easter eggs and presents. The Easter Bunny can be traced back to Ger­ many in 1682. There, an old legend tells of a poor woman who dyed some eggs and hid them in a nest. Right before her children could find the eggs, a large rabbit had hopped away from the nest. This led to the conclusion that the rabbit WET BASEMENT? had had not not only only left left the the eggs, eggs, but laid them as well. Easter is celebrated all over the world, usually be­ tween March 22 f nd April 22, depending on the cycle of the moon. In some coun­ tries the Monday after Easter Kellogg sixth graders learn about boat safety By Teresa Frith Staff Writer Sixth graders at Kellogg Elementary School learned how to be safe while riding in or piloting a boat last week in a safety class con­ ducted by the Barry County Sheriffs Department. Officer Bill Johnson from the Marine Division of the Sheriffs Dept, conducted the all day class. It is offered free of charge each year at the school. The Marine Di­ vision has five patrol boats and a diving team that work full time during the summer months “I have been doing this all over Barry County to over 1200 kids each year,” said Johnson. “I teach them the basics of boat safety.” The class includes lec­ tures, demonstrations of WANTED! . ^PERFORMERS FOR TALENT SHOW! pjS I’^Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Talent Show Friday PM • April 23, 1993 Two Divisions: Jr. & Sr. Call 726-0554 or 726-0670 • NOTICE • Village of Nashville — will be — FLUSHING HYDRANTS & MAINS the week of April 19 Monday thru Friday safety equipment such as life-jackets, a film and a test.

She also demon­ strated the art of telling a story using a piece of string. She did tricks with the string that helped to demon­ strate items in the story. A class about string tricks is also offered through Char­ lotte Community schools. “The class was very en­ thusiastic and seemed to re­ ally enjoy the stories,” said Sorenson.

Main, Vermontville, Michigan— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 6, 1993 — Page 9 READING POSTER WINNERS CHOSEN Superintendent’s Corner ...continued from page 8 State and Local Accountability BY Dr. Ozzie D. Parks In a recently published article, Sen. Jack Welborn suggested that, “Now is the time to focus on good education and fiscall responsibility.” My response to that statement by a person I have known and appreciated for many years was, “I agree.” However, the senator followed the above statement with one with which I have to disagree. He stated that “until accoun­ tability is assured by the marketplace in a voucher-based schools of choice system, it will be up to voters to force ac­ countability in their own school districts.” I consider this state­ ment to be an example of the age-old reaction of kicking the dog when you are upset with someone else. He presented some large figures for what schools have been given in financial gain over the past few years, none of which are recognizable by those of us who received less than a 2 per­ cent increase in school aid last year. The senator admits that much of the fault rests with the state legislators, of which he is a part, rather than local schools. He points out that the reason many schools are faced with shortages in their operating budgets is that one third of the state’s school aid contribution goes to pay for retirement benefits. Guess who determines the provisions of the retire­ ment system. Local districts? Guess again. If you said the state legislature, you are right. Another reason which he cites for fiscal shortages at the local level is that “the state is spending over $15 million as an incentive to districts who keep their average class sizes below 25 students.” this is a nice goal if we can afford it. Guess who determined that we have the resources for it? This time I am sure that you answered correctly, because the answer is found in the quotation above. The answer again is the state. Those of us who are working hard to provide good education and fiscal responsibility at the local level expect to be held ac­ countable for what we control. However, we believe that it is only fair for the legislature to accept responsibility for the areas which they control. Most of the ares which Senator Welborn indicates he wants to see changed, such as teacher tenure, negotiations and fun­ ding are areas in which local schools must follow the laws passed by the legislatures. We realize that these laws are hard to changes. However, we don’t think that the frustration ex­ perienced by some of our legislators justifies kicking local districts or suggesting that people should choose some other schools who don’t have to follow the same rules. It is time to focus on good education and fiscal respon­ sibilities. As usual, the accountability is greatest at the top. In education, our state legislature is the * ‘top dog. ’ ’ Let’s not kick them, but let’s hold them highly accountable. REDKEN PRODUCTS HAIR & NAILS Rene’s Country Salon 200 E. Tupper Lake Rd.

Vermontville auctioneer announces special week — Steve Stanton of Vermont­ ville, director of the Michigan State Auctioneers Association (MS AA), announces that Gov. John Engler has declared April 4-10 as Michigan Auctioneers Week. The governor’s proclama­ tion coincides with National Auctioneers Week, which is a celebration and recognition of both the traditions and the future of the auction industry. Long associated with this country’s rural past, auctions in Michigan today run the gamut from fine art and col­ lectible items to real estate to the well-loved country auction. Today, advanced technology often allows auc­ tioneers to serve both buyers and sellers faster and more ac­ curately than ever before. Still, the possibility of the bargain or the rare find con­ tinues to be the lure that draws people to auctions, as well as the timeless auctioneer’s patter. Stanton is associated with Stanton’s Real Estate and Auctioneers of Vermontville. The association represents auctioners and others in the auction industry across Michigan and the Great Lakes region.

No»hville, Tuesday, April 6. 1993 — Poge 10 Raynaud’s phenomenon may be symptom of arthritis Raynaud’s phenomenon, a painful condition that may be triggered by cold weather, usually occurs only once in a while and usually doesn’t cause permanent damage, reports the Arthritis Founda­ tion, Michigan Chapter. Raynaud’s phenomenon causes poor blood flow in one or more of the following areas: fingers, toes, ears or tip of the nose. Sometimes, it also may affect internal organs. According to the Arthritis Foundation, during an attack of Raynaud’s phenomenon, the blood vessels in the af­ fected area become narrower for a short time. This prevents the blood from flowing to that area. As this happens, a change of skin color along with pain, numbness or col­ dness may appear in the area. Once the blood begins flow- ing, swelling, tingling, aching, warmth or throbbing in that area may occur. The cause of Raynaud’s phenomenon is unknown, but the attacks often are triggered by exposure to cold temperatures and sometimes by emotional stress. This con­ dition can begin at any age, but usually it begins between ages 20 and 40. It is much more common in women than For Sale Miscellaneous Community Notices FLUTE FOR SALE- Good Condition. $175.00 O.B.O. also wood kitchen table $20.00, 948-2585 or 948-9946.

To diagnose this condition, doctors may ask questions about symptoms and other il­ lness, take blood samples, test fingers for a change in color in response to cold and ex­ amine fingers under a special microscope to look for abnor­ mal blood vessels. Once diagnosed, the goal of treat­ ment is to prevent attacks and prevent tissue damage if an at­ tack does occur. Treatment includes cold protection, skin protection, relaxation techniques, medication and, in rare cases, surgery. Raynaud’s phenomenon Business Services BANKRUPTCY LEGAL Services.

Local eye doctors will help elderly Dr. Kimberly Norris with Eye and ENT Specialists and Dr. Michael Flohr with Thor­ napple Ophthalmology are participating in the National Eye Care Project to help senior citizens. The project is a nationwide outreach program for senior citizens who are not getting the medical eye care they need. More than 7,400 disadvan­ taged elderly Michigan residents have called the pro­ ject's Helpline at 1 - 800-222-EYES (1-800-222-3937) for help and Dr. Norris has reported that several people already have been referred to her office. The program, which was started in 1986, has helped an estimated 265,000 senior citizens. Through the toll-free Helpline, the Eye Care Pro­ ject provides brochures on many common eye diseases of the elderly and, for those who are eligible, a referral to a volunteer local ophthalmologist. Participating physicians provide a com­ prehensive medical eye ex­ amination and care jfor any condition diagnosed at no outof pocket expense to eligible patients. It has been estimated that half of all blindness is preven­ table if eye disease is detected early. In Michigan, comprehen­ sive eye examinations arrang­ ed through the project have resulted in diagnosis and treat­ ment of vision threatening conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degenera­ tion and diabetic retinopathy. To qualify for referral through the National Eye Care Project, a patient must be a U.S. citizen or legal resident and be at least 65 years of age without access, to an ophthalmologist seen in the past. Locally, Dr. Norris can be reached al 945-3888 and Dr. Flohr’s phone, number is 945-3866. Their offices arc at 915 W. Green St. in Hastings.

"We have nine players re­ turning who played a lot of summer ball last year," he said, "and I think they picked up a lot of experience be­ cause of it. (It) should only help us." Some of last year's sum­ mer participants played in as much as 42 games. Experience is not what concerns Booher, rather it is whether the team can remain consistent all season. "My only question right now, is how consistent we're going to be," he said. "I know we can play great ball games, but I have also seen us perform poorly, too." Pitching is expected to be one of the Lions strong suits as Kayle Dipcrt and Bryan Carpenter return to anchor a quality staff for Booher's club. Defensively, behind short­ stop Carl Mazurek and catchers Greg Gam and Brent NOTICE Effective April 1 NEW RATES for all Appliances will be $7.50 each This includes refrigerators, washers, etc. Stine, Booher feels his club is solid. And because his team plays a lot of Class B opponents (Maple Valley is Class C), the Lions can only benefit from the competi­ tion. "We We open up against an ismaipdroBvoeodheMr,id"dalnedvitlhleatssqhuoaudl,d" indicate what kind of caliber of teams we'll face the re­ mainder of the season."

This year, he hopes more start coming in than going out as be prepares for the upcoming year with only 11 members on his squad. "We really don't have any depth this year," he related. "So if anybody gets hurt, we're really going to be in tough shape." Among the areas Ricketts will be lacking in is the catcher position, which also happens to be one of the most important, if not the most important, position in the game. SPECIAL: BRAKE $9Q88 JOB Lt.

April 6. 1993 — Page 13 Men’s team hopes to track to the future If Maple Valley men’s track coach Steve Sanger could harness last year's winning formula for this year's, he might consider buying a patent. His team might even start calling him "Doc" Sanger. Sanger is caught compar­ ing last year’s club with this season, and is having a hard time finding the missing parts. ' The team lost seven im­ portant members to last year's graduating class, something Sanger feels will be hard to replace. "We lost a very good group of athletes, " he said. "This year, there are three seniors I expect to do well and hopefully make up the loss somewhat We're basi­ cally starting from scratch." The team tied for second in the SMAA last year, but this year the Lions expect everyone to field top teams, including perennial favorite Bellevue. "Judging from what I’ve seen so far, I would have to say Bellevue appears to be the strongest, ” he com­ mented. Nick Grinage, Steve Hop­ kins and Tom Synder are the seniors Sanger will be counting on to replace the group before.

Parks The State Legislature recently passed a tax reform proposal which could benefit taxpayers and their schools. The proposal is dependent on approval by voters in a special election to be held June 2. The proposal was designed to solve a number of problems including: 1. To reduce and stabilize property taxes. 2. To bring equity and stability in funding to our schools. 3. To take advantage of the fact that we are a tourist-oriented state that will benefit by the contributions of our visitors through a larger sales tax. First readings of the provisions of the new proposal appear to be of definite benefit to local taxpayers, our school and our community. We will provide you with details of the plan as they become available to us. Area newspapers are also doing a good job of publishing information about the proposal. As one state newspaper pointed out, the challenge now is for the voters to become educated regarding the provisions of the new proposal so that they may vote intelligently. Other school officials and I will be glad to help groups and individuals understand the new proposal. Please contact my office for ar­ rangements or information (852-9699). One newswriter noted that this may be one of the most significant decisions which Michigan taxpayers will make in the present decade. Let’s study it carefully and plan to be part of the decision-making process on June 2.

Tuesday. April 13, 1993 — Page 4 Hilltop Maples has produced maple syrup, candy for 14 years Ray Hickey dips out some of the boiling sap from the 5x14-foot evaporators to check its density. The evaporators are heated by natural gas and are capable of processing about 500 to 600 gallons of sap an hour. Karen Hickey turns on the tap to fill up a gallon tin can with the finished sweet maple syrup after it is filtered through the filter press machine. Don Hickey hooks up the hose to his 1,700-gallon collecting tank in preparation of pumping out the clear sap into the waiting tanker truck. The sap was collected from a system of tubing hooked to thousands of sugar maple trees in the woods closeby. by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Maple syrup producers have been hard at work the past few weeks, making enough of their sweet product to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth. Don and Karen Hickey, owners of Hilltop Maples, have been making and selling their maple syrup, cream and candy from their Vermontville home for more than 14 years. They have been members of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Association for three years. “I believe that we are the largest maple syrup maker in the area that is family owned and that taps their own trees,” said Don Hickey. Hilltop Maples is responsi­ ble for tapping and collecting sap from more than 11,000 buckets on their own trees, 2,500 from customers' trees they collect for the owners, and the about 600 buckets from trees owned by the Village of Vermontville. “On a good day we will col­ lect over 30,000 gallons of sap,” said Hickey. “It all de­ pends on the weather and how the sap is running.” Besides collecting the clear sap with buckets hanging from the sugar maple trees, the Hickeys also use a tubing system to collect sap. “We have a series of tubing set up to over 6,500 trees in various woods in the area,” said Hickey. “Eventually we plan to expand the tubing sys­ tem and replace all of the buckets.” Hickey said the tuning sys­ tem is more efficient and more sanitary because it is a closed system, and helps to cut down on labor costs because fewer people are needed to collect the sap. The tubing starts with smaller tubes attached to the sugar maples, then the sap travels from those into a larger tube, about the size of a garden hose, and on down until it reaches a pumping system that draws sap into a waiting collection tank set up near the side of the road. The truck then just pulls up to the tank, a hose is attached to the collection vat and the sap is pumped into a con­ verted milk tanker and taken back to the farm for boiling. It is unloaded at the farm and placed in a holding tank. The next step is to put the clear sap into the evaporators, which cook the liquid it until Don Hickey fills up a gallon tin with the finished sweet maple syrup as it comes down the tubes from the filter press. the water is boiled from the cream and candy products. sap. Cleanliness is very impor­ tant in manufacturing pure maple syrup products. Hickey says that the collection buck­ ets and other equipment used are washed after each run. “It makes a better tasting syrup when everything is cleaned after each use,” said Hickey. “We guarantee all our products. Not everyone does that.” Hickey also stresses the im­ portance of growing new sugar maples to replace the older trees as they die out. Hilltop Maples donated young sugar maple trees this year to the Village of Vermontville. They will be planted in yards for future tapping by the Vermontville Syrup Association when they reach maturity. “A tree must be at least 12 inches in diameter before it can be tapped,” said Hickey. “A newly transplanted tree also needs lots of water.” Maple syrup is considered a woodland crop and can only be produced in late winter or early spring. Once the trees start to bud, the season will be over because the sap be­ comes sour and unusable. The best weather for sap col­ lecting is at temperatures near “Our evaporators run by nat­ ural gas and boil between 500 and 600 gallons of sap an hour,” said Hickey. “We aver­ age about 2.4 percent sugar content and get about one gal­ lon of maple syrup to each 28 to 50 gallons of sap.” A hydrometer then is used to test the syrup. When it tests 11 pounds to the gallon, it is drawn off and filtered by an electric filter press. According to Hickey, Hilltop Maples has the only electric filter press in the area. “Our filter is more efficient than the old method of filter­ ing the syrup through filtering bags,” said Hickey. “It replaces 17 of the old filter bags and is much faster.” Fast boiling helps make a better quality of finished maple syrup. Syrup is graded according to its flavor, den­ sity, clarity and general ap­ pearance. The lightest colored syrup with the best true maple flavor is judged the best. After the syrup is filtered, it is put into a canning tank from which the finished pure maple syrup is poured into different sized containers and labeled for sale. Besides syrup, the Hickeys sell maple See Hilltop, Page 6 Maple syrup can be packaged in many different sizes and shapes of containers before it comes to the breakfast table. �Top bookmarker designers chosen at Fuller St. School Editor's Note: The following story and photos are being reprinted because of errors in last week's Maple Valley News. By Teresa Frith Staff Writer Top bookmarker designers were chosen in grades K-4 at Fuller Street Elementary School as "March is Reading Month" activities came to a close. Children made bookmarkers that showed scenes from their favorite books or stories. The markers were judged by Hastings Public Library per­ sonnel. First- through third-place winners were kindergarten students Kelsey Elliston, Amber Prim and Dustin Mead; first-graders Josh Beard, Ashley Cates and James Whepley; second-graders Trisha Sears, Nicholas Mapes and there was a tie for third place between Lindsey and Eric Smith. Third-grade win­ ners were aura Wyman, Nick Jones and Devin Phenix and fourth-grade winners were Mat Keeler, Mandy Robins and Jennifer Clapp. The markers were judged on originality, nearness and cre­ ativity. A storybook character pa­ rade also was held, with classes dressing up as book characters. Each classroom had a theme or a book that they were portraying. Costumes ranged from Cat In The Hat, Clifford the Big Red Dog, the Velveteen Rabbit and even a herd of moose. Maple Valley Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks joined in the parade as the children walked around the school yard. Students at Fuller ended the month with 4,893 reading hours total for the entire school. The month's theme this year was "Hooked On Reading," with each class earning a fish picture for each five hours read. Best bookmarker design winners at Fuller Street Elementary were (from left) Matt Keeler, Mandy Robins, Jennifer Clapp, Nick Jones, Trisha Sears, Lindsey VanSyckle, Eric Smith, Josh Beards, James Whepley, Kelsey Elliston, Amber Prim and Dustin Mead. Not pictured, but also winners was Nicholas Mapes, Lora Wyman abd Ashley Cates.

Apple Main St. (Behind Central Auto Parte) 13316 South Main Street �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 13, 1993 — Page 10 Nashville Council OK’s apartment complex By Art Frith Construction will begin soon on the Nashville Park apartment complex, after ap­ proval by the Nashville Village Council Thursday night. In a unanimous vote, the council approved the Nashville Planning Commission’s recommenda­ tion to accept the final plans submitted by Lakin Construction Company. Developer James Lakin was present at the meeting and thanked council members for their support. He expects construction to begin May 31 on the 3.5-acre site east of the C-Sil Corporation on Reed Street. The single-story complex with 24 one-bedroom units is being funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Farmers Home Administration. The facility, designed primarily for senior citizens and handicapped, will be operated by the Red Oak Management Company and should be ready by late November or early December. Ben Marks, president of the Michigan Municipal League, spoke to the council on the League’s mission. Marks said the MML is the largest citi­ zens’ lobby group in Michigan. Marks said, “Everyone has the perception that we deal only with the big cities. That is not true.” Marks is traveling around the state, visiting communi­ ties like Nashville, stressing the need for locally elected of­ ficials to get involved in the governing process. Marks said, “If you don’t get in­ volved, local control (home rule) will be in jeopardy.” Special Projects Coordinator Paul Spelman told the council that he was looking into op- tions for buying property for the proposed well site project. Trustee Ted Spoelstra ques­ tioned the need for the village to purchase additional prop­ erty. Spoelstra said, “We already own three sites which have been determined suitable for the proposed well site.” Council agreed to meet with Spelman at the sewer plant this morning at 10 a.m. to discuss the location as a pos­ sible well site. Spelman also said that approximately $100,000, in addition to state funds will be needed for the new water line project. Village President Ray Hinckley read a letter from the Michigan Department of Commerce, stating that fund­ ing for the first phase of the “Rebuild Michigan” grant program has been released for improving Nashville’s water and sewer systems. The vil­ lage will receive $255,000. Maple Valley FFA presents awards, holds silent auction The Maple Valley FFA held its annual banquet at the high school March 24. There were more than 75 members and guests in atten­ dance for the award ceremonies and speakers. In all, 65 awards were given to members for their past achievements in the FFA this year. Tara Hoover and Barry By­ ington. received the top sales award, Michelle Gidner received the DeKalb Outstan­ ding Senior Award, Rob Racine was named star greenhand and Mark Porritt was named star chapter farmer. Other awards were given for service and dedication to the FFA. Winners in this category were Brian Bennett, Michelle Gidner, Jack Cripe, Rob Racine, Mark Porritt, Jeff Powell, Jason House, Barry Byington, Hillary Stevens, and Greg Little. There were also several in­ dividual awards for outstan­ ding junior, Tara Hoover; outstanding leader, Greg Lit­ tle; chapter sweetheart, Hope Hughes; chapter sweet guy, Brian Bennett; and eight scholarship awards were presented for high academic achievement while in FFA. Several proficiency awards were given to students who displayed above average knowledge in a specific agricultural subject. There were several guests in attendance who were also speakers for the banquet. Maple Valley was honored with two state FFA officers, Holli Bowman, state treasurer and Renee Nugent, Region 5 state vice president. Also, Todd Hingson, Southern Region national FFA vice­ president, flew into Michigan and spoke to the crowd. Finally, the FFA held its first annual silent auction to raise money for community service projects. A silent auction is similar to a regular auction in that peo­ ple bid on items they wish to buy. The process is the only part that is different. You receive a bidder number as you enter the area, you write your bid and bidder number on a sheet of paper that is placed in front of a cer­ tain item and then moved on to the next item you wish to make a bid. This process con­ tinues with all participants un- til the bids are closed. At that time, the sheets are collected and the owners are announced by bidder numbers. This year there were more than 35 items to be auctioned to the highest bidder. The items ranged from hats to fun­ nels, framed pictures to motor oil. In all $225 was raised for upcoming community service projects. The FFA is working with the Maple Valley Jaycees on a community beautification pro­ ject planned for this spring. Members plan to plant flowers, build flower boxes and clean certain areas of both Nashville and Vermontville. Contributors for the pro­ gram were Maple Valley Im­ plement, Hastings City Bank, Carl’s Supermarket, Mace Pharmacy, Nashville Auto, Musser’s Nashville Hard­ ware, Citizen’s Elevator and Maple Valley Concrete.

He said that 23 percent of Nashville residents live below the poverty line. Spelman recommended that the council develop a parks and recreation strategy in order to receive state funding. Nashville now receives no state funding in this area. “Nashville has tremendous potential which hasn’t been tapped,” said Spelman. He also suggested the coun­ cil meet with the other town­ ships and communities in the area and come up with a uni­ fied plan on what kind of community the people of Maple Valley wish to have in the future. Spelman said, “What’s needed is a general look at the Maple Valley area. What does the council want to see here 25 years down the road? If you don’t control your own destiny, it will be dictated by outside forces which you have no control over.” Hinckley announced that he will go to Rockford April 30 to attend a meeting of 40 communities serviced by CTEC Cable. The group is looking to persuade the cable company to provide better service and more channels.

Jarvis of Philadelphia is credited with bringing about the observance of Mother’s Day in the United States. In 1907 she suggested a special church service be held in tribute to mothers. She later campaigned to have the practice elsewhere and the idea spread to many churches and the public. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation designating the second Sunday in May as the first national Mother’s Day. It is traditional to wear a colored carnation on Mother’s Day if your mother is living and a white one if she is not. Many churches distribute these on Mother’s Day as part of their services. Some foreign countries also celebrate Mother’s Day and the idea of honoring mothers dates back to ancient Greece. to Steve Bowen of Charlotte for his rendition of "God Bless the U.S.A." There was a four-way tie for third-place honors. The honor was shared by Maple Valley cheerleaders Erin Booher, Amanda Finkler, Jennifer Forquer, Kristen Frith, Jamie Rasey, Megan Starnes, Nettie Emery, Mandi Golovich, Sarah Hughes, Casey Smith, Erin Hokanson, Teri Sessions and Kristina Spotts for their dance routine; Bumper Russell from Burlington, Mich., back again this year to sing "Two of a Kind” by Garth Brooks; Aunt Renee and the Cousins from Charlotte (Steve Kineman on the violin, Iren Waggoner on the violin and Terry Wooley on the guitar) for playing "Ashokan Farewell," which is the theme music for Ken Burn's mini series "The Civil War,” and Barbara Locke of Lansing for singing "Something to Talk About" by Bonnie Raitt. In the Junior Division the overall winner was 10-yearold Anna Arrendon from Union City. Second-place honors went to a group of dancers from Campbell Dance Studio in Charlotte who danced to the tune of "Don't Rock the Jukebox."

Tuesday, May 4. >993 — Page 3 MV Spanish class gets student teacher by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Spanish students at Maple Valley High School are get­ ting some help this semester from a student teacher from Michigan Stale University. Shannon Fineout’s Spanish classes have been joined by student teacher Graciela Infante Estrada, Estrada is a former Lansing teacher’s aide and has both substituted and volunteer taught in the private school sector. “I chose teaching because I wanted to work with people,” said Estrada. “Working with people is never boring. I like what I am doing very much.” Estrada is working toward a bachelors ofarts degree in am and sciences with Spanish as her major and history as a nur-r. “I would like to find a teach­ ing position in this area,” said Estrada. “I will graduate this summer.” Estrada says her goal is to one day travel overseas, perhaps to Mexico or other coun­ tries. “I have always spoken Spanish,” she said. “I have a dream to travel overseas someday.” Estrada works with Fineout in all three levels of Spanish classes at Maple Valley High School. She recently traveled with some of the students to a Foreign Language Day com­ petition at Central Michigan University. The students participated in singing Spanish songs, recit­ ing poetry in Spanish and making special posters. Josh Cerny placed third in the poster contest and Alex Staszko was awarded third place in the poetry reading competition. "The kids are all fantastic.” said Estrada. “I don’t want recognition for myself, only for the students.” Estrada has been with the classes since Feb. 15 and will leave at the end of this week.

Kip Barry, a performer from Mobile Productions in Redford, Mich., gave students a better understanding of what physics is through several in­ teresting demonstrations. “I perform for about 500,000 kids each year and have traveled to over 37 countries,” said Barry. “This is a hobby of mine that turned into a sideline. I’ve done magic shows, too, and have been going to school assemblies off and on for about 10 years. I enjoy it very much.” Barry started by showing them what at first appeared to be a magic trick. He poured a clear liquid into a seemingly empty beaker, where the liquid turned pink. As the children clapped, he poured the liquid back into the other container, where it became clear once more. He explained to them that although it looked like magic, it was merely a form of chemistry made possible by mixing certain types of chemicals Kip Barry gets some help from the audience to demonstrate how a Vandegraff generator makes static electricity. as the sound caused by their clapping. His next demonstration showed how static electricity was another form of energy. Using a special Vandegraff generator he showed how static electricity is a form of energy that can cause some­ one’s hair to stand on end. He explained that it is the same type of energy that shocks someone after walking across a carpet and touching the per­ son. One of the most popular segments of the show came when Barry demonstrated to the classes another type of electronic generator called a Telsa generator. This device was hooked up to a chair and made to look like an electric chair. He showed how current was flowing through the seat of the chair by touching a light bulb to it and making it come on. For anyone that still doubted that electricity Continued on next page— VESSECCHIA & ASSOCIATES Professional Speaker/Consultant/Counselor (Specialists in Stress Management) Maplewood second grade teacher Cindy Baker gets a chance to sit in the ’hot' seat during a demonstration that shows how electricity came through her chair to light up the bulb without hurting her.

According to Red Cross officials, if it has been at least 56 days since you last gave blood or if you have never given blood before, then you are able to donate to this drive. The only requirements Representatives from the Barry County chapter of the American Red Cross will conduct a blood drive in Nashville from 1 to 6:45 p.m. Wednesday, May 12, at the United Methodist Church. The Red Cross hopes to collect at least 60 pints. All types of blood are needed, in effect are that you be in good health, at least 17 years of age and weigh at least 110 pounds. There is no longer an upper age limit. The Barry County chapter of the American Red Cross is a member agency of the Barry County United Way. Kip Barry helps a Maplewood boy find out that inertia helps to keep the wheel spinning and that it also moves him in the chair as well. flowed through the chair, he dipped a stick into a can of gasoline and lit it by touching the stick to the seat of the chair. He then volunteered second grade teacher Cindy Baker to the front and had her sit in the chair. When he turned on the switch, Baker was apprehensive but unharmed. However, when he handed her the light bulb, the bulb worked and gave off light. A demonstration of inertia came next, using a large spin­ ning wheel. He had a boy sit in a chair and hold the spin­ ning wheel. Every time the wheel was moved, the boy would spin around in the chair. This also demonstrated one of Isaac Newton’s famous laws that state that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Finally Barry used a magic trick with a floating metal ball to demonstrate how ev­ erything would float away if it weren’t for gravity. Sponsored by the Maplewood Parents and Teachers Organization (PTO), Barry’s "Physics Is Fun” peformance was full of enough fun and excitement to keep his audience entertained, while at the same time it was an effective method of teaching kids about the basics of physics.

Lakewood Veterinary Service 7857 Velte Road (M-50) Lake Odess 616-374-768 Business Services Proposal A and the Model A BY Dr. Ozzie D. Parks In less than a month, voters will be asked to decide whether or not they want to change the way our state’s public schools are financed. Because we are the automobile state, it might be helpful to compare the proposal for change with a historic change in our cars. A number of similarities may be found. The first similarity between the funding proposal and a change in cars is found in their names. The new funding pro­ posal has been named “Proposal A.” The car to be compared was named the “Model A.” Both changes are from a previous model, the “Model P” (for property tax) and the “Model T,” which had served their time in history well. According to the book “World of Cars,” which was produc­ ed by the editors of the Automobile Quarterly, the major reason for the change to the “A” from the “T” was that peo­ ple wanted “more performance” from their cars. According to the latest Gallup Poll, people want more performance from their schools. Proposal A is designed to make that goal achievable for schools like ours. Other comparative features of the “Model A” and “Proposal A” include the following: • Both were designed to provide a better overall “vehicle” which would meet current needs. The Model A was equipped with better brakes to help bring the more powerful vehicle under control. In a similar manner, Proposal A is designed to bring fast moving property assessments and tax rates under control. • The Model A was also designed to be more stable than the “T”. Likewise Proposal A is designed to provide for greater stability in school binding than has been possible under the “P.” According to the writers for “World of Cars,” some people found it hard to change from the “T” to the “A.” They noted that, “an elderly New Jersey lady purchased seven new Model T’s so that she would not have to change cars for the rest ofher life. Within a short time, however, people were pleased with the new car.” It is expected that the same will be true of Proposal A. Ken­ tucky made a similar funding change and a recent poll there in­ dicated overwhelming satisfaction with the new model. The Model A was considered to be the car for its time. Pro­ posal A appears to fit that description in the area of school fun­ ding and performance at this time. More information about Proposal A will be provided to you as it becomes available.

Under the program, which is carried out in most of the 300 Knights of Columbus Councils in Michigan, people are asked to contribute money to help persons having mental disabiities and are given a Tootsie Roll candy in ap­ preciation of their gift. The benefitting agencies locally are Barry Intermediate Special Olympics, Hastings High School Special Educa­ tion, Barry County Special Olympics, the Children’s Special Health Program and Maple Valley Special Education.

(5/18) Maple Valley got some good pitching Tuesday and surprised Lakewood by sweeping a doubleheader, 4-1 and 3-2. . Kyle Booher fired a fourhitter for the Lions in the opener. The only run he allowed was on a solo homer by Rob Spurgis in the sevnth inning. Booher walked one batter and struck out three. Taking the loss on the mound was Corey McDiarmid, who gave up seven hits and five walks and struck out seven in six innings of work. In the nightcap, Dan Rasey pitched the first five and twothirds innings for Maple Valley and was relieved by Brian Carpenter with two out in the sixth inning and a Lakewood man on first base. The next Viking batter pro­ mptly hit a liner that second baseman Todd Davis caught, ending the threat and perhaps saving a crucial run. Tony Hansen started the winning rally for the Lions in the seventh by walking and stealing second base. He came home on a single by Brent Stine. Carpenter was the winning pitcher in relief. Stine paced the offensive at­ tack with two hits and an RBI. Mike Kuempel had a double.

After the pizza was done, the Nashville Brownie Troop 600 stand with their leader Janet Adams as they prepare to eat the pizza they watched being made at Good Time Pizza resturant. by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Nashville Brownie Troop No. 600 toured the Good Time Pizza resturant as their fun activity for the month of April. The girls had toured the old location of the resturant and wanted to see the differences with the new expanded facilities. The first stop was the back of the shop to see where the pizza dough is kept and made. The scouts then watched as Becky Wilson, one of Good Time’s employees, showed them how to roll out the pizza dough, put on the sauce and toppings and place the finished product into the oven to bake. While the pizza was baking, the girls were shown where the sandwiches and other items sold at the resturant were made. The girls learned that the weekends are probably the most busy time for the em­ ployees at Good Time Pizza. They go through stacks and stacks of pizza boxes on a good business night, accord- scouts got to eat the pizza that they had watched being made.

The Lions rallied but came up short, scoring four runs to lose 11-10. Andrea Hubka led the at­ tack with three hits and Aman­ da Greenman added two hits and 3 RBIs.

Jarman led the Lions with one hit, and Kathy Rollins drove in three runs. The Lions defeated Lansing Christian in both games, with some outstanding pitching and good fielding.

The apartments will have a common laundry room to service the entire building. “This will be a very good thing for the village,” said one council member. “We wish Mr. Lakin good luck in getting this project done.” Lakin was unsure of a possi­ ble construction date because he is awaiting funding for the project, but hopes to start soon. In other business last Thursday, the council heard from Vermontville Maple Syrup Corporation President Gene Fisher about this year’s Maple Syrup Festival held last month. Fisher stated that the festival did somewhat bet­ ter than last year, but still not as good as in years with better weather. As in some previous years, parking was a major problem. Rainy weather complicated matters by rendering the fields unusable for parking due to muddy conditions. Parking problems also were caused by some village residents roping or blocking off areas next to their homes and posting no • SPECIAL • s2500 (Long Hair Extra) May 11-25 Diana’s Place Professional Styling for the Whole Family OPEN Tuesday thru Saturday 6 and Thornapple Lake Rd. 9481 continued from front page parking signs. “Residents may not prevent parking in areas that are in the village right of way,” said Village President Sue Villanueva. “This practice will stop and will not be tol­ erated at any time.” Council last week also: • Added an updated version of the abandoned or junk vehicle laws to the village Universal Traffic Code. The addition better outlines village and law enforcement authority, the amount of hours or days in which the vehicle must be moved or held in custody, and lists all procedures that will be followed. A vehicle is considered to be abandoned if it has remained on public or private property for 48 hours after being tagged by a police agency or other governmental authority. Such a vehicle may also be checked to see if it has been reported as a stolen. An abandoned junk vehicle is one which is either registered or non registered that is considered inoperable or damaged to the point where the cost of repairing it would exceed the value of the vehicle. A vehicle that meets As A Group p, Mature Drivers Are A+ With Us this description also must be removed within 48 hours of a written notice. • Reminded village residents that the recently adopted twohour parking limit on South Main Street in the business district is now in effect. In or­ der to better acquaint everyone with this rule, warning letters will be placed on vehicles in violation. After an undeter­ mined time, vehicles will be ticketed by police and subject to appropriate fines. • Adopted a resolution desig­ nating May 13 as Young Author’s Day in Vermontville. This was done in honor of all young people who are writers or hope to be writers. • Voted to check into having signs made to honor the Maple Valley Band for their recent accomplishments at the World of Music Festival in Nashville, Tenn. The signs would hang beneath the Vermontville city limits signs. Council approved up to $200 for the project. •Outlined plans for the Mayor Exchange Days May 17 and 19. On May 17 Vermontville council members will travel to Addison to spend the day with government officials there.

Parks A recent Gallup Poll revealed that Americans believe that the development of our educational system is more important than the building of an efficient industrial system or the building of the strongest military system in the world. This believe is an encouragement to those of us who serve in the business of education. However, it doesn’t take a long memory to remind us of the reality that belief in the development of education isn’t always followed by support. Why is this so? Perhaps columnist Sydney Harris answered this question best when he stated, “The reason seems clear. People cannot agree on what the term education means, or what it should mean, so we are talking at cross-purposes. You mean one thing by education and I mean another, and she means still another. ’’ He went on to say that, “If we cannot reach a consensus of what the ends of education should be, then we cannot possibly agree on the proper means to reach those ends. What we need first is a national inquiry, debate and then resolution as to what kinds of people we want our children to grow up to be.’* Harris’ recommendation is being carried out to at least some degree at this time. Our state department of education recently defined a core curriculum of essential learning. Our local staff has developed a list of priority outcomes. Last, but not least, our national government is working on the desired content and standards for the various educational curricula. Progress is being made in determining the appropriate definition of what constitutes education. The next major challenges will be to appropriately assess what is being learned and what can be done to assure that our leaders are successful. When these challenges are met we should reach greater agreement on what the term education means and have a better chance of achieving a higher developed educational system.

They are offering graduating seniors a nine inch by five inch by three and onehalf inch deep cedar chest if they will sign a pledge not to drink orlise drugs. The pledge reads,"I have pledged that I will not endanger our friend­ ship by drinking or doing drugs during graduation time. I will not ride with an im­ paired driver nor will I let you take that risk. Our friendship doesn’t end at graduation. Let’s keep the memories we share alive.” Another pledge reads, "I pledge that I will not drink or ride with a drinking driver dur­ ing graduation time. If I am ever in a situation where a friend or date who is driving has been drinking, I will seek safe, sober transportation home.” After signing the pledge, students must then take it to Jhg, store to receive their chest. 1 ■ The Eaton County Board of Commissioners also has given some incentive to < **##***##e####e#*******4;; adults to join in the right by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Graduation is a time for congratulations and parties to celebrate making it through 13 years of school work. Unfortunately, it can some­ times also be a time for abus­ ing alcohol and drugs. National surveys have shown that 85 percent of high school seniors have tried or are using alcohol. It has also been estimated that there are more than three million prob­ lem drinkers between the ages of 14 and 17 in the United States. “Graduation parties are a time for friends to get together one more time to get out those last talks before we all split up and move on,” said Maple Valley senior Aaron Smith. According to Smith, presi­ dent of the Maple Valley chapter of Students Against Drunk Driving, alcohol some­ times can show up at these parties. The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences estimates that onehalf of all traffic fatalities and one-third of all traffic injuries are caused by alcohol abuse. In addition, one-third of all suicides and one-third of all mental disorders are linked to alcohol abuse. Such accidents and deaths associated with al­ cohol are especially prominent among teens. Students like Smith are working hard to prevent fel­ low classmates from becom­ ing a part of these grim statis­ tics during graduation festive ties. “We’d like to get the kids ■’ I Maple Valley Athletic Boosters'!;’ li BINGO MAPLE VALLEY H.S.

In June 1992 the board passed a county-wide Open House Parties Ordinance against teenage drinking. In part it reads,”No person May 13 & 14 • 9 am-6 pm RUTH HICKEY'S 9118 Lawrence Road, Nashville 3/4 of a mile West off of M-66 “r having control of any resi­ dence or premises shall allow an open house party at the residence or premises if any alcoholic beverage or drug is possessed, consumed or used at the residence or premises by any minor where the person knew or reasonably should have known that any alcoholic beverage or drug was in the possession of, or being used or consumed by a minor at the residence or premises, and where the person failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the possession, consumption or use of the alcoholic beverage or drug at the residence or premises.” The penalties for a first of­ fense violation of this ordi­ nance is a $500 fine and/or a jail term not to exceed 30 days. The offender also will be required to attend a substance abuse awareness class or counseling as selected by the court, with the offender paying the costs. Subsequent violations in- clude a $500 fine and/or a jail term of up to 90 days. The law is meant to put the responsibility of minors abus­ ing alcohol or drugs on the adults and where the open house is being held. “It is important to get the message out that people die from drinking and driving and alcohol abuse,” said Judy Hager, advisor for the Maple Valley SADD group. “We have been lucky here at Maple Valley that none of our stu­ dents have been injured or killed in an alcohol-related in­ cident in the last several years.” Graduation time should be a time of fun and good times, not a time to worry about a teenager’s safety. Alcohol is a drug and parents and teens alike must learn to recognize this fact. “Be nice to each other and don’t drink,” said Smith. “We don’t want to lose anyone. We just want everyone to celebrate safely with no one getting killed.” Jr. Farmers to meet Monday May 17 The Vermontville Jr. Fanners 4-H Club will start fair preprarations with a meeting Monday, May 17 at 7 p.m. at Maplewood Elemen­ tary School.

Wende was involved in a collision^ with a semi. Our pain immediate, we asked ourselves "How could we possibly continue living without her?' She was our first born, our baby, our bubbly one, our friend, our reason to live, our peace maker, fiancee and so much more. The future seemed meaningless. As we assembled at the hospital it became apparent a support network was forming that was to carry us through the most difficult days ahead and would give us hope for the future. Families, clergy, church family and medical staff gathered. We were being lifted in prayer as the task of learning the details began. This time of suffering seemed to last forever. Numb and dazed we began to make the necessary arrangements. The simple act of signing your name became almost impossible. Decisions must be made and it hurt so very much. How could parents be expected to do all the things which needed to be done? We didn t think we could do it and knew it couldn't be done alone. As the news spread into the community, people responded with phone calls, food, offers of financial support, prayers, flowers, lots of love, hugs and tears. The tremendous amount of love felt by us for us was totally overwhelming. As Wende was finally laid to rest a peace warmed our hearts and we felt the assurance of God s presence. We have gained our strength from the Lord, family, friends, classmates and co-workers. We know Wende is now with the Lord and we will be with her again someday. Our heartfelt thanks and love is extended to each person we came in contact with during this difficult time. We wish to extend our appreciation to the staffs of Pennock Hospital and Wren Funeral Home for their professionalism and compassion shown to us. Also, thank you to the rescue personnel and private citizens that were at the accident scene and have not been made known, by name, to us. Most of all, our appreciation of our pastor, Randy Hartman, needs to be expressed. His caring and assistance during our loss can be matched by none other. May God's Blessing Be With Each of You...

The class is participating in a reading bingo game called "ringo," where students earn stickers to make a bingo for completing reading projects. Ringo is played just like bingo. Students fill in five squares up, down, across or diagonal to score ringo. In order to fill in a square, the kids must first read a book from a list of categories and chose an additional activity related to that topic. They can choose from making a bookmark, poster, postage stamp, a “quatro” which tells parts of the story, a “skinny strip” which shows the books author, title, and a short sentence and picture about each chapter in the book read or place five objects in a can decorated like a book cover that have something to do with the book read. Some of the topics covered on the book list are mystery, poetry, non-fiction, adventure, sports, science and hobbies. “Since the students must read books in several different categories in order to score a ringo, then it will get them to read topics they might not otherwise read,” said Pat Hansen. Students who score ringo by the end of the school year will receive prizes for their accomplishments. Students can read the books at home or during the reading time given in the classroom each day. “This is going very well so far,” said Hansen. “Twelve out of 22 students have already scored ringo.” BUILDING or REMODELING?

The budget was presented Monday for informational only and does not deal with any employee salary raises except for normal step increases. It shows only inflationary increases in items such as health care and utilities. If a millage rollback is necessary because of the Headlee Amendment, it would reduce revenues by $144,540.53. This would deplete the school equity fund and put the Maple Valley school district in the red by $52,178.53.

Village President Raymond Hinckley recently attended a meeting in Rockford to speak with other communities seek­ ing to work together for the betterment of C-Tec’s cable service. The group will dis­ cuss things such as additional channels, faster reply to prob­ lem calls, the possibility of getting lower rates and other related issues of cable service. “There is more power in numbers,” said Hinkley. “We will get better service if we are part of a group than trying to do it all ourselves.” The cost for the village to join the consortium is esti­ mated at $600. The council also discussed forming a citizen’s council that would attend future meet­ ings of the consortium and re­ port back to the village. In other business last week, the council: • Discussed a problem with trucks parking illegally in the parking lot behind the stores on Main Street.

Take these two documents and follow the next several steps to determine any sav­ ings: • Divide the new State Equalized Value (SEV) by 1,000. Multiply that number times the number of mills as­ sessed. This provides the amount of property taxes that would be due in July under the present system. • Next multiply last year’s SEV times 1.03 to show a 3 percent increase under the pro­ posed change. Divide that ad­ justed SEV by 1,000. • Take the current millage and subtract from it the differ­ ence between the current school operating millage and the rate under Proposal A. • Multiply the adjusted SEV number from step two by the new millage total and subtract that number from the total in step one. The difference would show the first year property tax sav­ ings under Proposal A. In a study done based on an­ nual incomes, a family earn­ ing $20,000 would be ex­ pected to spend about $78 more in sales taxes in 1993 and $171 more in 1994 under the proposed increase of the state sales tax from 4 to 6 Superintendent’s Corner continued from front page < C Proposal A is good news for Maple Valley.

If both of these things are taken into consideration, any possible savings under Proposal A can be determined. In other business Monday night the board: • Went into a closed session meeting to meet with Maple Valley teacher and support staff representatives for a ne­ gotiation strategy session for upcoming contracts. A meet­ ing was held between the board and the two groups on May 5 to begin contract talks. At that meeting the board was presented with staff proposals. Another meeting is planned for June 7 and 8. No details of any proposed contracts have been released. • Heard a report from Adult and Community Education di­ rector Terry Mix on proposed summer school classes in reading and math to offer addi­ tional help to students who have not yet scored a satisfac­ tory rating on the MEAP tests. Passing scores are needed on these tests in order for the student to receive a state endorsed diploma. The sessions would run for three weeks and cover 36 hours of instruction Monday through Thursday for two hours each day. The cost would be $30 per student. • Listened to a proposal Mix presented from Michigan Entertainment Center to in­ stall a satellight dish at the Jr.-Sr. High School and wire 15 classrooms to receive transmissions from a proposed media center to be set up in the school library. The center facilities would allow for transmission of televison or satilight programs or the broadcast of video cassette programing to the wired rooms. The center and its facilities would be paid for from a tele­ vision-oriented grant. Board members tabled the proposal for future study to determine any libility problems con­ cerned with routing the wiring through fire walls. • Approved a final reading of a policy on foreign exchange students and visitors. • Announced the retirement of bus driver Maggie Aspinall after 24 years of service to the district. She will be honored at a ceremony at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 19, at the high school. • Voted to replace an oven at the high school at the cost of $3,150 from Brothers Resturant Supply Center. The cost will be covered from the hot lunch equity fund. • Announced that Gladys Mitchell, due to her senority, would be chosen to start a 15­ day trial period required prior to taking over a custodial po­ sition at the Maplewood Elementary School. • Adopted a resolution stat­ ing that the June 14 annual school election will cover the issues of electing two new board members and asking voters to approve a Healdlee overide to allow the district to levy the maximum amount of authorized millage. If Proposal A passes, then the vote on the Headlee overide is a non-issue, according to Parks. • Approved the custodial supplies bids reccommended by Gerald Aldrich. • Approved a request from Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School Principal Larry Lenz for purchase of a new series of math textbooks at a cost of $18,101. The cost will be split between the remainder of funds in the 1992-93 textbook budget and the 1993-94 bud­ get. • Approved a list of exit out­ comes for a first policy read­ ing presented by Jackie Peek on behalf of the STAR coun­ cil and the district school im­ provement team. The exit outcomes list provides a dis­ trict mission statement for Maple Valley schools and lists some long-term goals for students. In part the student would be expected to strive to exhibit cognitive skills in all curricu­ lums; demonstrate physical, social, emotional and aesthetic well being; be a collaborative worker; be a quality producer and problem solver and be a competent and productive member of society. • Announced that the next board meeting would be at 7 p.m. June 14 in the school li­ brary. That is also the date of the school board elections and the Headlee overide proposal.

The Headlee Amendment BY Dr. Ozzie D. Parks This is the time of year when schools have to be concerned about possible loss of funds that could result from the implementation of Section 31 of Article 9 of the State Constituton, commonly known as the Headlee Amendment. Since many people are unfamiliar with the Headlee Amendment, I will attempt to explain its intention, implementation and our problems in brief. The intention of the Headlee Amendment was to put a lid on increases in tax levies by requiring a rollback in tax rates if the increase in total state equalized assessed values (SEV) for pro­ perties in the district exceeded the General Price Level (inflation) for the previous year. The intention was good, and the amendment was adopted by the people of our state in 1978. As so often is the case in legislation, the problem with the amendment for schools is in the way it was implemented. Because of the nature of the state aid formula, a rollback in local tax fates also results in a rollback in state aid. In districts such as ours, state aid represents a larger amount of the funds for operation than does local taxes. If our district had a rollback next year, we could expect to gain $59,146 in local taxes, but lose $203,696 in state aid, for a total loss of $144,540. This loss would lower our expected revenues from state aid and local taxes by 3 percent. To make matters worse, the loss would come from what is already ex­ pected to be a bad year for state aid. The problem for our schools is that while our costs are going up at approximately the rate of the General Price Level, which is 3 percent, the rollback and state aid formula would reduce our revenues by 3 percent in state and local revenues. Obvious­ ly, the difference between expenditures and revenues will pre­ sent a deficit problem. The bottom line is that while we agree with the intention of the Headlee Amendment, the way in which it is implemented affects our school so adversely that we must ask for community understanding and assistance by allowing us to levy our max­ imum authorized millage rate. Our present millage rate and revenues per student are among the lowest in the state and we cannot expect to reduce them further without jeopardizing the future of our children. You will be asked to vote on this issue at the annual election on June 14. If you have any questions or comments about the Headlee Amendment or the election, please feel free to contact me. �3-Page 3 The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Miscellaneous MEMORIAL DAY, Valley band. Anyone else who wants to be a part of the parade is asked to call the Nashville VFW at 852-9260 or its post commander Kay Rathburn at 726-1283. Rathburn said the VFW would like to see a larger parade this year. The parade will march from Putnam Park to Main Street % JjSik jSik continued from front page— and on to Sherman Street to Lakeview Cemetery. A ceremony honoring military veterans who have died will be held at that time. After the parade and memorial services, all parade participants are invited to attend a potluck at the VFW hall. Vermontville’s parade and NASHVILLE COUNCIL, from front &> officers can ask for assistance from Barry County Sheriffs office for further testing with either a breath analyzer or blood test. • Voted to buy the cab and chassis from White GMC for $30,150 and the equipment from Dutton Truck Trailer Specialties agreed on during last month’s meeting with available funds instead of fi­ nancing it through the Hastings City Bank. • Voted to purchase a sewer easement from Penn Central Corporation of Cincinnati, Ohio for $1,000. The ease- ment is for sewer lines laid under the railroad bed where tracks used to go across M­ 66. The village previously was renting the easement rights for $16 a year. The purchase is necessary because the ease­ ment is being sold. Council members decided that it was better to purchase the ease­ ment outright than to be con­ cerned about future costs from a different owner. • Tabled bids received for paving the village alleys until further study could be made of the offers received. *Mh2S SS?s; Jaycees plan to beautify area The Maple Valley Jaycees are planning clean-up and beautification projects in the villages of Nashville and Vermontville.

In the past they have held bake sales and other fund­ raisers. Since it is a cooperative school, parents of the children are expected to help at least one session a month and help clean the classroom about twice a year. “We think that it is a good thing for parents to be in­ volved in their child’s educa­ tion,” said Kirchoff. “We have found that those who have had the experience of working with a cooperative are more involved with their children’s education in the future. It also helps to cut down our costs for things such as mainte­ nance when parents help out.” Cost for tuition is $35 a month for each child. Assistance is available through either the Eaton or Barry County Departments of Social Services for those meeting low income guide­ lines. The future meeting place for students is uncertain because of the recent sale of the Methodist Church Annex.

What you do with your life after that depends a great deal on the skills you have acquired, but you should remember that there is a lot more to life than just earning a living. You should be wondering why God put you here, and what purpose He has for you, beyond the limits of your everyday life. For this you need a good postgraduate course, which you can get by attending your House of Worship. Schools can go only so far, but learning about God and the world in which He has placed you can give you the real meaning of life itself.

The building originally was built in 1876 by the Baptist Church to replace its school­ house meeting location. The original building was 32 feet by 44 feet with a 12-foot tower on one corner. Tom Durkey did the stone work and the original cost of both church and property was $3,300. The Methodists have owned it since some time after the early 1970s. In recent years it has pro­ vided space for the United Methodist Church rummage sales and classes for the Maple Valley Cooperative Pre-school. “The church had talked about selling the building but had never advertised it," said United Methodist Church pas­ tor Kenneth Vaught. “Dr. Callton made us an offer that the congregation decided to take.” The church held a conference May 5 to discuss Callton’s offer of $10,000 for the property and voted to accept it. All church members were eligible to participate in the vote. Vaught said some of the necessary paperwork for the sale already has been taken care of. Callton says that he had sev­ eral reasons for wanting to buy the building. “I wanted to have control over what I can see from my home window,” said Callton. “I knew that the building was for sale in principle and I wanted a say in turning it into something good for the community instead of watching it deteriorate or be built into something unattractive.” Callton said his highest pri- 21 21 V 21 V 21 Happy 21st Birthday. • • 21 - MAY 23 - MICHELLE LEDBETTER Your Family 21 21 21 21 V 21 21 wr >fcs »a fcs i & THE MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE Real Estate 227 N.

I asked him about the possibility of using Kellogg Elementary School’s play­ ground, as regulations state the need for playground space and to other groups for other needs.” Callton said a day care facil­ ity would be required to have certain types of play equip­ ment, various space require­ ments, a properly trained di­ rector and the building would have to be inspected by both the Tire marshal and an envi­ ronmental expert. “We would have to meet all required state regulations and guidelines, “ said Callton. “Many different pieces are needed to accomplish this and 1 i i Phone 726-0580 Yes!

No, they won’t have to worry about building a giant aquarium or feeding their new friend. The class picked him out of a brochure about en­ dangered species and will pay a $20 adoption fee. The money goes to help protect whale breeding and feeding grounds and to aid a whale stranding network. The class members' project is part of their science study on endangered species. The children received an adoption certificate, a whale poster, registration card and will get quarterly updates on their whale. They picked their whale out of a brochure list­ ing 50 known wild hump­ backs that are being tracked and studied. Stub was so named because his tail was partly bitten off in an attack by a killer whale. Children chose him because they liked the idea that he was able to escape from the danger of the attack and still survive, according to Wilde. “We are collecting pennies, dimes and nickels in order to pay the $20 fee for the adoption,” said Wilde. “If you would like your child to par­ ticipate they may bring the money to school." Whales are among the ani­ mals that the class is studying that are in danger of extinc­ tion.

Kellogg Elementary holds special program DARE program graduates 67 kids by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Sixty-seven Kellogg Elementary sixth-graders took a "DARE" against drugs and alcohol and graduated Friday from a 17-week course de­ signed to teach them how to avoid the pressures to start us­ ing them. The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program teaches students how to resist peer pressure to experiment with drugs or alcohol. DARE is taught world-wide and can be found in all schools over­ seas run by the federal gov­ ernment. A group of officers in Los Angeles teamed up with the Los Angeles school district to begin the program in 1983. That start has served as a model throughout the country. There are now about 300 of­ ficers in Michigan trained to teach the DARE concept to See DARE program, Page 5 Vermontville is host to Addison in Mayor Exchange activities by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Ten representatives from Addison visited Vermontville Wednesday as part of the an­ nual Mayor Exchange Day ac­ tivities.

The youngsters and their parents both attended orienta­ tion activities, which were meant to give them a general idea of what they will be do­ ing in school next fall. Parents listened to representa­ tives from the different de­ partments such as transporta­ tion, special services such as speech therapy, etc. Principal Susan Hardy was on hand to answer questions. While their parents listened to staff, the children colored with crayons and listened to Parents and Teachers Organization (PTO) volunteer Kelly Shaver talk about school and read them a story. After the story hour, the po­ tential kindergarten students were given a short ride on a school bus. “We are excited about the new group of students that we expect next school year,” said Hardy. “This orientation helps the children and their parents prepare for school and gives them a chance to become fa­ miliar with the facilities and staff.” death by a brother and sister, Myron and Jesse Farman.

Later in the week, the pre­ kindergartners joined students in the morning kindergarten classes and got a short taste of what they will be doing next year. The teachers talked to them about the things that happen in kindergarten and let them participate as the classes read stories and played games. According to Hardy, about 53 children are already enrolled in the next school year’s kindergarten and "Young Fives" programs. This is somewhat smaller than in previous years, said Hardy. Superintendent’s Corner Follow-up study is helpful BY Dr. Ozzie D. Parks Schools are designed to prepare our young people for suc­ cessful futures. One of the ways that we may evaluate how we are doing and what we need to do to improve is to conduct follow-up studies. We are thankful for the work done by the Eaton Intermediate School District Vocational Education Department in this area. The spend many hours in writing to and calling our former students so tht meaningful input may be obtained. This year’s study involved those students who were members of the Class of 1991. This class was the first to graduate since I have served in Maple Valley. I and many others remember them fondly. Many talented, hard working and well behaved students were members of that class. What does the study say about what these students are doing now and what they recommend to us? Many of them are continuing their education (52 percent), working (24 percent) or serving in the military (6 percent). The leading work areas are the food industry (26 percent), sales (23 percent) and office (15 percent). Manufacturing, which in the past was the major area of employment, represented only 8 percent of the jobs attained and agriculture, also a former ma­ jor area, accounted for only 2 percent of the total jobs. We are pleased to find that 95 percent of our students responded that “high school was a positive experience for me.” This was the highest level of response in the county. We realize that positive people are most apt to view their school positively, so we share the credit with these students who had a positive outlook. When asked what the schools could have done better to prepare them for their postgraduate experiences, by far the largest area of response was that the school should offer a wider variety of classes and more advanced classes. This echoed the response of our community in our most recent survey. We are pleased with the success of the Class ’91 and glad that we could be a part of the positive experiences which they enjoyed when they were with us. We also value their recom­ mendations and hope to implement them as soon as possible. Whether or not we will be able to bring about the im­ provements our graduates and community have recommended in the near future will likely rest on the outcome of the upcom­ ing elections. Ifyou agree with these outstanding students, plan to support them, as well as our present and future students at the polls. Our students deserve as good a program as any in the county or state. With equitable funding we will be pleased to provide it.

Two students were chosen from each class to give per­ sonal commitment speeches on how they would avoid the dangers of drugs, alcohol and stress. The student speakers were Christina Desrochers and Kevin Aspinall from Pettengill’s room, Dan Swift and Jim Davis from Hansen’s room and Mike Smith and Natasha Gauna from Slag’s class. All wrote their own speeches on why they wouldn’t use alcohol or drugs. Each classroom also put on a series of skits to show their interpretation of what happens when drugs or alcohol are be­ ing used. Skits demonstrated the violent nature of users, the abuse of authority and the sometimes fatal consequences of abusing the substances. Gifts of appreciation were presented to Wood and Kris Green by Lions President Myers for their efforts and dedication to the program. Kris Green also presented DARE T-shirts to teachers Hansen and Pettengill (Slag received one last year). Lions members Callton and Roger Green, and officers Koetje and Wood.

Displays and posters from all 50 United States and the District of Columbia were on display at Maplewood during the annual fifth-grade "Tour America Night" last week. Students each chose a state and were required first to write for information, do a report and create a display or poster featuring it. “This project is done each year as part of the fifth-grade curriculum for geography and American history,” said Maplewood fifth-grade teacher Bob Smith. “We have been doing this for a number of years.” Parents, friends and relatives were on hand to view displays that featured everything from students in costume to a real lobster and a baby snake. According to Smith, the stu­ dents had been working hard on their projects. “This is the culmination of what the students have been studying all year,”he said.

In 1992, the pilot pesticide container recycling project was held at 13 sites in Michigan. It was initiated to give growers an alternative to landfilling or burning their empty pesticide containers. Each year fewer landfills will accept pesticide containers, and under the Clean Air Act, it is no longer legal to bum containers. “The Pesticide Container Recycling Project is helping rid farms and landfills of un­ wanted and potentially hazar­ dous materials,*' said Bill Schuette, Director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture. “This project has been embraced by the agriculture and environmental communities, which are now linked together in common HEALTH CARE PROVIDER Maple Valley Schools need a full-time pediatric health care provider to care for a bright, active 6-year old child in a 1st grade program.

Growers and commercial applicators should bring their triple rinsed or pressure rinsed plastic pesticide containers to Mueller Bean Co. Fertilizer Plant in Woodbury between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday, July 12. Only No. 2 HDPE and No. 7 plastic con­ tainers will be accepted. Growers will find the identify­ ing number on the bottom of the plastic container. Some Fusillade and Option pesticide containers are No. 7 plastic. Michigan Department of Agriculture inspectors will check containers for any signs of pesticide residue. Rejected containers will remain the property of the participant and must be removed from the site. Caps, labels and foil seals should be removed. Dealers or custom applicators with large quantities of containers should call before bringing in their containers for scheduling purposes. White and translucent pesticide containers will be separated from colored con­ tainers and then granulated. The granulated plastic chops will be shipped to processing plants for farther cleaning and removal of foreign particles such as foil, glue and paper. The chips are then melted and made into plastic pellets and stored until they are used to make new pesticide containers or non-consumer plastic products. Growers and other pesticide applicators should contct Barry County Cooperative Extension office, 948-4862, or Mueller Bean Company, 374-8859, for instructions on proper triple and pressure rin­ sing procedures. Even if containers are not being recycled, they must be properly rinsed according to label directions before they can be disposed in type II landfills.

Bryan Carpenter was the winning pitcher over Bellevue and Kayle Dipert picked up a save with two innings in relief. The Lions came up with all five of their runs iun a fifth- inning uprising. Key hits in the rally were from Tony Hansen, Carl Mazurek and Brent Stine. Bellevue scored twice in the seventh inning to make it close, but Maple Valley was able to hang on. In the title game, St. Phillip scored three times in the open­ ing inning and added two runs in the fourth and in the seventh innings. Stine and Carpenter had the only hits that knocked in runs for the Lions. The previous Wednesday Maple Valley split a doubleheader with Olivet, los­ ing the first game 8-3 but coming back to win 8-7 in the nightcap. The Eagles scored seven unearned runs on five errors in a nightmarish first inning of the first game. The offensive highlight of that contest was a two-run tri­ ple in the seventh inning by Stine. Dipert was the winning pit­ cher in game two and he went out with a flourish, as he struck out the last three batters he faced. The Lions split a twin bill with Hopkins last week Mon­ day. They lost the first one 7-3, but won ythe second, Carpenter was the winning pitcher in game two. Mazurek went 3-for-7 for the day with two doubles and two runs bat­ ted in and Mike Kuempel had two RBIs and went l-for-2.

'Vermontville Historical Society to meet May 27 Th.e Vermontville Historical Society will meet Thursday evening at the Ver/montville Bible Church. A potluck with a dish to pass, will begin at 7 p.m. The program is to bring an­ tiques, things unusual, or even something one may not be sure of what it is to share with everyone. The meetings and programs are planned to be informative, interesting and to project into the future, the past history and values from the past. New members are always welcome. individual supporters instead. The chamber had voiced concerns about possible liability problems, according and offered the resources of other groups such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), Maple Valley to chamber member Mary Ohler. After looking into options to reduce the chamber and its members' legal liability and finding none feasible, it was decided this month to sever ties as a sponsor of the Harvest Festival. “It was strictly a matter of not exposing the chamber members to undue risk,” said Ohler. “But I was afraid at first that it was going to be the end of the festival. Happily it isn’t.” Ohler has become part of a plan to divide the festival events into areas supported by several community groups, instead of the entire thing being sponsored by the. chamber. “We’ve got some great plans and ideas taking place,” she said. “We’re very much in the early stages, but things look better than ever.” Chamber members have offered to help organize the events on an individual basis Jaycees, Nashville Fire Department, Friends of the Library, the Nashville Lions Club and any others who come forward to offer their assistance. The Fork River Trappers once again will be hosts for the many shooting activities and historic re-enactments of the Muzzleloader's Rendezvous. In another effort to reduce liability concerns, most participants in this year’s events will be asked to sign waiver forms in order to take part as a protective measure for those groups sponsoring the activities. M.V. Jaycees start special project To the Editor— Say ‘yes’ to A for local kids Dear editor: June 2 will find voters all over Michigan deciding the future of our schools in the form of Proposal A. Proposal A will cut proper­ ty taxes and limit annual pro­ perty assessment increases to 5 percent or the inflation rate, which ever is less. It will also reduce local millage to 18 mills and permit districts to levy up to nine ad­ ditional voted mills. This is still less than our current millage rate. Make no mistake about it, this proposal will benefit the students of the Maple Valley school system. It will guarantee more equitable dollars for the students in our district while providing pro­ perty tax relief. Our local school board has voted to support Proposal A. Please join them June 2 and vote yes on Proposal A for Maple Valley students. Norma Jean Acker Maple Valley Education Association Public Relations Chair Some of the events planned for this year’s festival include a 5K run organized by VFW Post No. 8260, pancake breakfast and water balloon contest put together by the Nashville Fire Department, a parade on Main Street sponsored by the Nashville Lions Club, a shish-ka-bob cookout at the Masonic Lodge by the Jaycees and a softball competition, children’s games, music and a used book sale planned by the Friends of the Library. “We’re still looking at other activities that we hope to include and are just waiting for confirmation of these from various individuals and groups who will put them together,” said Ohler. “By involving more people and civil groups it makes things easier and more successful for everyone. Because of the commitment from these people or groups I feel that this year’s Harvest Festival will be better than ever.” Ohler said they are still looking for someone to help put together some events that they would like to see continue this year. “I would appreciate anyone who would be willing to give a little of their time in order to see the festival continue in the best of its Nashville tradition," she said. Flyers listing the events and times are expected to be out by early June. For more information or to offer support, call Ohler at 852­ 9593. Obituaries Carl A. Hobert, Sr. HASTINGS - Carl A.

The Maple Valley Jaycees began their plan to beautify and fix up the villages of Nashville and Vermontville Saturday by cleaning up the small park beside the Nashville Village Hall. They and several members of the Future Farmers of America were also on hand to sweep business sidewalks, wash windows and pick up litter. The Jaycees are doing this as part of a community project in recognition of village support of the Jaycees. A similar clean-up project is to be scheduled in Vermontville some time next month. Anyone with any ideas to accomplish that task is urged to contact one of the Maple Valley Jaycees. The next Jaycees meeting will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 2 at the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School.

The baccalaureate is being organized by the Maple Valley Evangelical Ministries Assoc-iation (MVEMA), along with a group of Maple Valley seniors. The MVEMA members in­ clude the Nashville Nazarene Church, the Vermontville Bible Church, the United Methodist churches of both Nashville and Vermontville, the Nashville Assemblies of God Church and the Nashville Baptist Church. “The decision by the Supreme Court to not allow prayer at graduations spurred the idea for a baccalaureate service,” said Nashville Nazarene Church minister Alan Mettler. “It will be at- tended on a strictly voluntary basis and will be a traditional Christian service designed to Besides his work as a speaker, Hansen also has writ- hour and 15 minutes is planned.

Refreshments of cookies and punch will follow the bac­ calaureate. “We are happy about having a baccalaureate again and want it to be a positive experience,” said Mettler. “We would like to see it continue and once again be a tradition for future graduates.” Nashville makes plans to repair, improve streets signs on the east side of Main Street from the corner of Reed Street north to the first residential driveway, which is a distance of 185 feet. The rec­ ommendation also included continuing the present double yellow no-passing zone from the top of the hill at Putnam Park to Casgrove Road. The council has received a letter from the state stating that is in agreement with the recommendation for a no parking zone, but not for the extension of the no-passing zone. It was approved to en­ force the proposed no-parking zone as stated above.

They have ac­ complished many things and I wish them congratulations and the best of luck in the future.” Scholarships and other awards were presented to se­ niors and outstanding students in grades nine through 12 were singled out for special recognition and special awards.

The state will put in a six-inch line from Main Street West to Durkee Street and from School Street almost all the way to Fuller Heights. The village will be responsible for replacing the existing four-inch line running from Durkee Street to School Street with a six-inch line in order to match the size of the line being put in by the state. The cost to the village will be $13,000. The next council meeting will be held at the Village Hall Thursday, June 10. Here’s why!

Parks There have been some recent reports that Proposal A will do away with the homestead property tax credit altogether and not help renters. These reports are not true. We may have contributed to the conclusion on rebates when we included a formula for comparing your present costs with Proposal A costs in our recent newsletter. We neglected to include a rebate line in the Proposal A calculation. The reduction of property taxes by 38 percent in our district would reduce rebates by the same percentage. Obviously we can’t be rebated for what we didn’t have to pay. But the present rebate system will remain in effect. Also, because the ceiling on tax credits is $1,200, those who paid property taxes in excess of that amount will benefit by the reduction in property taxes. Please go back to the comparison of present tax costs and Proposal A in your last newsletter and subtract 62 percent of your present rebate from your total cost for Proposal A. If you pay property taxes of over $1,200, you may want to contact your tax consultant for accurate figures on your rebate. In regard to renters, it has long been assumed that a portion of all rent goes to pay property taxes. That is why renters are allowed to use 17 percent of their rent payments as property taxes in computing their application for rebates. The 17 perper­ cent credit remains available to them. Though we cannot guarantee renters that their rental rates will go down, there is an opportunity for such action. Also, future rents and the cost of owning your own home someday will go down. Proposal A offers many improvements for the taxpayers and schools of our community. It would be a shame if it was not supported because of false or misleading information. Though it is not perfect, it includes benefits for all community members. ribbon and a certificate by Mary Smith, who represented the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. Second-place honors went to Brad Rapson, third to Eren Berry and honorable mention ribbons to Tiffany Robins, Sarah Rathburn, Katrina Coblentz and Justin Seitier. Although in past years the posters have been displayed in local business windows, this will not be done this time be­ cause of the lack of a school­ community coordinator, ac­ cording to Mary Smith.

The sponsors are indebted to the Eaton Special Riding Volunteer Association who served up the food as a fund­ raiser for their program. All participants received staple removers and shocking pink pens and notepads with “Ye Olde Fashioned Book Fair” and Eaton Intermediate School District printed on them as favors for taking time to attend. A raffle of items donated by vendors, the ISD, and area businesses added a real highlight to the event. Prizes included dinner tickets for two at the Pour House, one $50 and four $25 gift certificate to the Teacher Store, miscellaneous classroom resources donated by vendors, carnival glass, and a handpainted sweatshirt. Ron Gallagher, school social worker for Eaton ISD and chair of the Book Fair Committee, explained the ra­ tionale for the fair by saying: “It (will) provide a local source once a year for educators to come see what’s new from vendors. And possibly to order materials for next year.” After reviewing evalua­ tions, the committee sketched out plans for a “bigger and better” fair for spring, 1994.

The proposal has its share of pros and cons. If it passes it would: • Limit (excluding new con­ struction) annual property as­ sessment increases to 5 per cent or the inflation rate, whichever is less. When prop­ erty is sold or transferred, the assessment would be adjusted according to current market values. • Reduce maximum school operating taxes to 18 non­ voted mills and permit dis­ tricts to levy up to nine additional voted mills. This would lower millage in Maple Valley 38 per cent from the current 29.01 mills to the proposed 18 mills. If more millage were voted in at a later date, the rate could go no higher than 27 mills. (A mill is $1 per each $1,000 in as­ sessed valuation of property.) • Roll back 1993 assessment increases, which averaged 11 percent, to 3 percent. • Increase the state sales tax from four to six cents on the dollar and constitutionally dedicate this additional revenue, and the lottery proceeds, to schools. • Establish a minimum state and local per-pupil funding guarantee of $4,800, which would be adjusted annually for revenue changes. School districts now spending less than $4,800 per student would be limited to a 10 percent increase each year until they reach the $4,800 level. All $7,000. Special education, adult edu­ cation, and half of the added total annual cost of teacher re­ tirement would continue to get categorical funds above the $4,800 per pupil level. —Reduce the 50-miIl maxi­ mum property tax limit to 40 mills. With the passage of Proposal A, the burden of to­ tal K-12 funding would switch to the state. For the current school year, local property taxes paid for 63 percent of the bill, while the state’s share was only 37 percent. Proposal A would change that to 39 percent local taxes and a state share of 61 percent. Statewide, 244 school dis­ tricts would see a reduction of 16 or more mills, 200 would see a reduction of 10-15.9 mills, 81 would see a cut of 2 to 9.9 mills, and 41 would see a reduction of less than two mills. Some concerns that have been expressed by state legislators are: • Proposal A will not elimi­ nate or change Homestead Property Tax credit for seniors or other eligible homeowners, nor will it eliminate Public Act 116 for farmers. However, the amount of any refunds could be affected, depending on how much an individual’s property taxes are lowered. cent of the state’s budget be spent on local governments. Under Proposal A, with the state’s increased payments to schools through sales tax be­ ing counted as expenditures for local government, the state will be well above the 41.6 percent level. Thus, the state could possibly reduce funding for other local governmental programs. • In a recent newspaper col­ umn, State Senator Jack Welborn (R-Cooper Township) stated his concerns over Proposal A’s lack of ac­ countability for new revenues. He said that there are no guar­ antees as to how money would be spent by local school districts and fears that it. could be spent on things such as teacher and staff wages and benefits without regard to the needs of educational quality. One question raised in litera­ ture on the proposed amend­ ment is about new construc­ tion costs for school districts. Passage of Proposal A will not affect this area. School districts still will be able to raise money for new construc­ tion through bond issues. If Proposal A fails, the fi­ nancial outlook for Maple Valley appears grim. During last month’s Maple Valley Board of Education meeting, members were presented with a proposed preliminary 1993-94 • It will result in a greater operating budget that showed initial tax cut for business projected revenues of than for individuals because $6,383,905 and expected business pays 36 percent of expenditures of $6,965,586. property taxes, but only 20 This would cause a deficit of percent of sales taxes.

If Proposal A passes, pro­ jected revenues would be up 9 percent to $7,029,034 and projected expenditures esti­ mated at $6,965,586. This would be an excess in rev­ enues over expenditures of $63,448. The projected June 1992 equity fund would then be at $674,043, instead of go­ ing in the red, and rise 11 per­ cent the following year to $737,491. In order for a property owner to calculate any possible sav­ ings under Proposal A, the homeowner first needs a copy of last year’s property tax bill and a copy of this year’s as­ sessment increase notice. Take these two documents and follow the next several steps to determine any sav­ ings: • Divide the new State Equalized Value (SEV) by 1,000. Multiply that number times the number of mills as­ sessed. This provides the amount of property taxes that would be due in July under the present system. • Next, multiply last year’s SEV times 1.03 to show a 3 percent increase under the pro­ posed change. Divide that ad­ justed SEV by 1,000. • Take the current millage and subtract from it the differ­ ence between the current school operating millage and the proposed school millage. • Multiply the adjusted SEV number from step two by the new millage total and subtract that number from the total in step one. The difference would show the first year property tax sav­ ings under Proposal A. In a study done based on an­ nual incomes, a family earn­ ing $20,000 would be ex­ pected to spend about $78 more in sales taxes in 1993 and $171 more in 1994 under the proposed increase of the state sales tax from four to six cents on the dollar. The amendment, if passed, would go into effect July 17.

June 1, 1993 — Page 10 Charlotte woman leads kids into recycling through words, actions Residents of Montgomery throw litter and trash all around their town while Donis Grove tells Kellogg Elementary students the story of "Montgomery vs. Trash.” The trash monster chases the residents of Montgomery around the town Donis Grove invented in her story, “Montgomery vs. Trash.” by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Charlotte resident Donis Grove probably wouldn’t have believed that a trash can ex­ ploding in her face would be the start of a new career in teaching children about recy­ cling. “One day I was burning trash and got some paint chips mixed in some trash in a plastic bag,” said Grove. “As soon as those chips hit the flames there was an explosion and I threw my arms up to protect my face."

Emergency Services Available remind her of that day and says that from them on she wanted to learn about recy­ cling so that she would never have to burn trash again. In her quest to rid her life of unwanted rubbish, she discov­ ered that there was no program developed to teach children about recycling. “I wanted to teach the chil­ dren about recycling and so I decided to put together a pro­ gram for the local school kids,” she said. Since her start in 1990, Grove has traveled to schools all over Michigan to bring her story to children of all ages. Last week she brought her lit­ tle town and her story to stu­ dents at Kellogg Elementary School in Nashville. After getting a committment from the Charlotte school district to allow her to put on her program, Grove decided that more than just a speech would be needed to get children inter­ ested in ridding the world of trash. First on her list was to pursuade someone to build her a minature town for her stage. She enlisted the aid of Joe Montgomery Builders in Charlotte, who built her a set of three, six-foot buildings that represent a home, school and recycling center. “I told them that I didn’t have any money, but that I’d tell everyone that they built it if they helped me,” said Grove. “When I saw it, I just knew I had to name the town Montgomery.” And so the story she has turned into a children’s book, “Montgomery Vs. Trash,” was born. It is the story of a place where the residents don’t care where they put their trash. One day the trash comes to life as a monster who trys to take over the town, until a Stange lady arrives that teaches the townspeople about recycling and cleaning up litter. She uses audience participa­ tion to act out the scenes from her book and gets everyone 'involved in the message of recycling. After the play, Grove shows students items made through recycling and tells them how they can help limit the buildup of rubbish through making things out of things they might otherwise throw away and by taking unwanted items to recycling centers in their hometowns. “Reuse, recyle and chase trash away is my motto,” said Grove. “I want kids to really think about recycling.” To give children some incentive for coming up with ways to recycle or rid their homes of trash, Grove leaves two "Montgomery vs. Trash” T-shirts, specially made to illustrate her book, at each school as prizes for a contest. Students were asked to list all the things that they can do to recycle or get rid of trash. The two people with the longest lists will each get one of the shirts. The brightly colored shirts were given to her through funds from Joe Montgomery Builders, Eaton County Federal Bank in Charlotte, State Farm Insurance of Charlotte, Team One Chevrolet of Charlotte and Wicker Angus Farms of Charlotte. “I’ll bet that they wonder when I’ll stop asking for things from them," she joked. “They have been a great help to me.” Her story has received cover­ age on more than 50 televi­ sion stations nationwide and in Canada, including channels 6,12, and 41 in Michigan, and has had stories written about her in several newspapers. Her production was chosen by the American Paper Institute to receive a national recycling award of $500. In addition, the Media Center in Lansing is developing an animated video based on “Montgomery vs. Trash,” that is expected to be out by February 1994. The Michigan Environmental Defense orga­ nization in East Lansing of­ fers financial assistance to pay for students in school districts unable to afford it. Kellogg Elementary received assistance from the organization to help for Kellogg students to wit­ ness this program. From the near tragedy of a trash can explosion to the sat­ isfaction of teaching children to rid the world of trash, Donis Grove has come a long way.

The Lions started the week May 17 splitting a non-conference set with Hopkins, los­ ing the first 7-3 and winning the second 7-4. Carl Mazurek went three for seven on the night with two doubles and two RBI. Mike Kuempel also had two RBIs. Again on Wednesday the Lions split a twin bill, this time with Olivet in league play. Five errors in the first game's first inning allowed Olivet to score seven unearned runs, which according to coach Mike Booher was just too big a margin to over come. The Lions lost the first game 8-3. School Lunch Menus , > <l) Mm Sj?** IJ Jr.-Sr. High School Wednesday, June 2 ♦Salad, com, applesauce.

Lost & Found Two local men receive county’s by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Two local men recently earned Eaton County Sheriffs Department Distinguished Citizen awards for helping identify three armed men in the Feb. 25 robbery of the Vermontville branch of the Independent Bank. Ken Frith, owner and opera­ tor of Ken’s Standard gasoline station in Vermontville, and employee Walter Plank were Walter Plank (left) and Kenneth Frith recently were awarded Distinguished Citizen awards by the Eaton County Sheriff’s Department for their help in apprehending three armed robbery suspects in connection with the Feb. 24 holdup of the Vermontville branch of the Independent Bank. by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Sixth-graders from Maple­ wood and Kellogg Elementary schools last week learned a little about how things will be in junior high with a visit from a group of seventh­ graders from Maple Valley Jr.- Sr. High School who visited their classrooms. The seventh-graders spoke to the sixth-graders about the dif­ ferences between going to class in six different rooms a day versus one room in ele­ mentary school. “We want to make the tran­ sition from sixth to seventh grades as easy as we can,” said Julie Hager, junior high coun­ selor for Maple Valley. “This will be a big change for stu­ dents.” The sixth-graders learned that some of the classes they will be taking are English, math, science, geography, gym, art and Skills for Adolescence, which teaches given the awards in a cere­ mony May 19 by Eaton County Sheriff Rick Wahl. The robbery suspects had en­ tered the bank at about 11 a.m. Feb. 25 and were armed with a pistol and shotgun. After robbing the bank, the men left in a truck. Frith saw the men leaving the bank and immediately dialed 911 to re­ port the holdup. “This was the third time that I had seen the bank robbed in the 20 years that I have worked at this station,” said Frith. “I saw them come out of the bank and called to re­ port it.” While Frith was dialing 911, Plank was outside trying to get the license number and a good description of the get­ away truck. “At first I thought that someone was stealing gas af­ ter Ken yelled at me to get the license plate," said Plank. “Biit then I saw the guns and knew what had happened. I managed to get some of the license tag numbers and gave the detectives a good descrip­ tion of the truck.” Both men feel that what they did was the right thing to do. “Ken and I felt proud to help," said Plank. “I feel that it is a citizen’s duty to help people whenever you can.” The citation given to the men credits their quick action with helping the Eaton County Sheriffs office in ap­ prehending the suspects and honors them for providing ex­ emplary service to Eaton County citizens.

Bax A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 121 - No. 45 — Tuesday, June 8, 1993 Maple Valley faces uncertain future with failure of Proposal A by Teresa Frith Staff Writer With last week’s failure of Proposal A, the Maple Valley school district faces an uncer­ tain financial future. “We are very disappointed that Proposal A failed.” said Maple Valley Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks. “We would like to see the Legislature ad­ dress the issue in another way. We must now make plans without knowing if we will get additional help." Parks said that local schools are unsure of what state or lo­ cal assistance will be received next year, but expect it to be either no more or possibly less than this year’s amounts. The proposed constitutional amendment was defeated by Michigan voters by a margin of 54 percent to 46 percent. While early returns had shown the proposal ahead, a resound- ing negative vote from voters in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties sent it down in defeat. All but 15 of Michigan’s 83 counties voted in favor of the proposal, which would have cut property taxes and raised state income tax from four to six percent. With the exception of Kalamo Township, local voters were in favor of Proposal A. The results in local districts were: • Castleton Township: 389 (YES) and 366 (NO.) • Kalamo Township: 147 (YES) and 234 (NO.) • Maple Grove Township: 187 (YES) and 183 (NO.) • Vermontville: 255 (YES) and 226 (NO.) Both Barry and Eaton counties overall voted in favor of Proposal A. According to Proposal A supporters, the biggest obstacle was voter distrust of any proposal to come out of Lansing. A spokesperson also said that many voters thought that it provided too much relief for businesses and rural areas of Michigan and not enough for metropolitan Detroit. State educators in Lansing said that the defeat of Proposal A means that some schools could close early next school year and some might not open at all. Lansing lawmakers are concerned, but have not come up with a way to rekindle the plan. During last month’s Maple Valley School Board meeting, members were presented with a proposed preliminary 199394 operating budget that showed projected revenues of $6,383,905 and expected ex­ penditures of $6,965,586. Castleton Township election official Belva Barry watches as Michael Meade prepares to vote on Proposal A. This would cause a deficit of $581,681 which would have to come out of the school eq­ uity fund. The equity fund is expected to stand at $674,043 at the end of this school year. The projected deficit would cut it down to $92,362. Revenues are expected to be down $57,729 from last year because state officials recom- mended no increase in state aid for next year with the failure of Proposal A, and because a transfer from the See Proposal A, Page 5 M.V. baccalaureate brings prayer, music to seniors by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Maple Valley High School held its first baccalureate pro­ gram for graduating seniors in 15 years Thursday in the school auditorium. “This is the first baccalaure­ ate that we have held in a long time,” the Rev.

June 8. 1993 — Pace 3 Forty-four Maple Valley seniors and four chaperones attended the annual senior trip to Washington D.C. last month to have fun and learn more about our nation's history at the same time. Maple Valley seniors learned more about our nation’s his­ tory while on a trip to Washington D.C. May 13-18. More than 40 students and four adults traveled to the cap­ ital city where they toured sights such as the Arlington Cemetery, the Capitol, Vietnam War Memorial, the new Holocaust Museum, Library of Congress, Ford’s Theater, the Supreme Court, the White House, National Cathedral, National Zoo, Kennedy Center, Georgetown, the Smithsonian Institute and the various monuments. “We got to learn about the government,” said one senior. “We also got to become closer to the people in our class.” According to one student, two places that impressed the group the most was the newly opened Holocaust Museum and the Vietnam War Memorial. Some students were able to find the names of relatives among the thousands of fallen service members whose names are engraved into the wall. Students also were witnesses to a Bosnia protest march in front of the White House. “The trip went extremely well,” said counselor Ward Rooks. “The kids were very cooperative and well-behaved. They got to have fun and learn something at the same time;” The trip cost $395 per stu­ dent and was paid for by the students themselves. During their trip they stayed at the Quality Inn in downtown Washington D.C. The Vietnam Memorial Wall, where several students found names of relatives, was just one of the many sights that the class toured during this year’s senior trip to Washington D.C. . ■ Build It!

Alumni President Ken Meade, Nashville Class of 1943, welcomed everyone in his opening remarks and introduced 1993 Maple Valley Valedictorian Dan Finkler. Finkler represented this year’s graduating class, as it was welcomed into the alumni association. “I believe that Maple Valley school is special because everyone cares about everyone else,” said Finkler. Dinner followed after an invocation given by Ben Mason. The honored classes from Maple Valley, Nashville and Vermontville celebrating their 25th and 50th year reunions were seated first. Classes being honored were from 1968 and 1943. Twelve of 28 class members from Vermontville’s class of *43 and 17 out of 28 from Nashville’s class of '43 were present.

Reva Schantz honored with ‘distinguished service award Reva Schantz of Nashville is being, honored with a distinguished service award for her many years of work as treasurer of Barry County Association of Retired School Personnel and for her com­ munity volunteer activities. BCARSP, formerly Barry County Retired Teachers, is making the award “mindful of the steadfastness and integrity with which she has served the people of Barry County. Her ability to organize and plan ahead has been responsible many times for the success of any project she is working on,” according to the organization. Schantz graduated from Hastings High School in 1927, and from Barry County Normal in 1929. She taught in rural schools from 1924 to 1946, except for two years in the 1930s when her two sons were bom. She taught at Nashville W.K. Kellogg elementary school from 1947 to 1965, and in elementary special education in Maple Valley schools from 1965 to 1974, for a total of 43 years. Her roots in her Castleton Township farm home were transplanted to the Maple Grove Township farm home she shared with her farmer husband, William Schantz, at one time Maple Grove Township Supervisor and Barry County Commissioner, who died in 1985. She still lives there, continuing her service to her community through her work as historian for Barry County Association of School Personnel and as secretary for the Maple Leaf Grange and the Pomona Grange. BCARSP officials said, “In an era that has seen the demise of many Granges throughout Michigan and the farm states it is fair to say that largely because of the work of Reva and her family, the Maple Leaf Grange still thrives and serves many of the needs of farmers locally and in other parts of the country through their service projects.” For many years she was a Board member of Putnam Library in Nashville, and has participated in Red Cross drives in Maple Grove Township.

Principal Nancy Potter and fifth-grade teacher Lori Bunker braved the gusting winds and rode majestically into the air in a hot air balloon furnished by Ivan Kerr of Adventure’s Aloft in Mason. “It was wonderful,” said Potter. “At first my knees were shaking, but once we were up in the air I loved it.” Bunker agreed. “It was great," she said. “We saw deer and got a wonderful view.” The balloon came down in a field about five miles from the school and the recovery .team had a hard time retrieving it from the deep mud. “We had a great adventure both in the air and on the ground,” said Potter. Other activities during the day included frisbee throws, gliders, bubble-blowing, pin­ wheels, and a sky full of brightly colored kites. Fifth-grade teacher Bob Smith lights the cotton ball under one of the balloons made by students while fifth grade teacher Lori Bunker (left) and Donna Shipman hold on to it while it fills with air during Maplewood's "Lighter Than Air Day* activities. 8rSrs MAPL E V A L LE Y Real Estate || " " ta taf ci l in A THE MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE 227 N.

The fourth-grade class learned if eggs would survive a 25-foot drop in containers ranging from a tea carton to the bottom of a soda bottle. The eggs were padded with things such as cotton, foam, tissues, and even jello. The fifth-graders flew their own hot air balloons that they made from tissue paper. The balloons were filled with air by attaching a cotton ball soaked in alcohol to the bot­ tom and lighting it to form the hot air that filled it. Several flew successful flights all over the area before com­ ing down. A parachute team from Hastings was supposed to per­ form, but was unable to be­ cause of inadequate cloud cover. The day’s events were done as a culmination of the stu­ dents' studies in science about air and weather.

With the failure last Wednesday of Proposal A (see related story in this issue), voters will be asked to allow the school to levy the maximum authorized millage allowed. The present millage rate for Maple Valley is 29.01. If voters refuse to override the Headlee Amendment, that millage would be reduced to 28.1397 and the district would lose nearly $145,000 in state and local aid. For taxpayers, a mill translates into $1 for every $1,000 of a property’s state equalized valuation, or $1 for each $1,000 of property assessment. Voters also will be asked to chose two school board members from three candidates to fill two four-year terms. David Tuckey, now serving as a trustee on the board, will be challenged by Duane Schantz and Robert Mansfield. Board president Carroll Wolff, whose term expires at the end of June, decided not to seek re-election. Balloting will be at Kellogg School in Nashville and Maplewood in Vermontville from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Following are profiles on each candidate: David Tuckey, has lived in Vermontville for 22 years. He is a quality control inspector for Oldsmobile in Lansing. His wife is a teacher in the Maple Valley school district. They have three sons who are past graduates of Robert Mansfield Duane Shantz think that the classrooms are crowded and that it’s time to add regular classrooms and get rid of the portables.” Tuckey also said that school financing will present problems ahead because of less state and local aid. “I think that financing should be taken off property ownership and that a sales tax increase should be used instead,” he said. When asked if he thought public school teachers were overpaid and underworked, or the other way around, Tuckey replied, “I think that Maple Valley teachers are underpaid, but they aren’t overworked. But they do work much more hours than most people are aware of.” Tuckey said that he did not believe in firing teachers if they went on strike. “I don’t think there would be enough time to find and interview that many teachers to replace fired ones,” he said. “Also, I feel a loyalty to the teachers the way that I would expect them to feel loyalty to the school.” Tuckey said that he would probably be in favor of any Maple Valley and one who is attending eighth grade at Maple Valley. Tuckey says that he feels that because of his children, he has a vested interest in the local schools. “I am pro-education,” he said. “I got involved with the school board through being a partt of the school improvement team. I would language or adult situations, he replied, “The library should like to continue on the board be the center of learning and community members to become part of the school’s future.” the most receptive part of the school system. I think that very few books should be limited, but I am not in favor of pornographic material. I and hope to encourage other Tuckey said that he feels that more than one problem will be facing Maple Valley in the future. “Our biggest challenge is to get everyone to pass the t MEAP tests so that they can receive state-sponsored diplomas,” he said. “I also failing students in not giving them the information needed to make intelligent decisions regarding their well being.” Tuckey also spoke out about whether or not schools should get back to the basics of emphasizing reading, writing and arithmetic. “I think that we should move forward to today’s basics with new teaching methods such as hands-on concepts, and work to meet the needs of technology and make sure that our students are able to meet the needs of future employees.” Duane Shantz, is a life­ long resident of Vermontville and the owner of the family­ run Shantz Dairy Farm. He is a Maple Valley graduate and was active in school sports programs. He and his wife, Lesley, have four children in Maple Valley schools. Schantz says that he wanted to run for a position on the board in order to play a part in making Maple Valley a better school. “I want to be in a position where I can see what areas should be improved or changed for the best interests of the school.” Shantz sees school financing, lack of classroom space and a need for school curriculum to be more competitive with other districts as Maple Valley’s biggest challenges. When asked whether or not he would be in favor of firing teachers that went on strike, he said, “All issues would have to be taken into consideration before I could decide whether or not to fire striking teachers such as the duration of the strike and whether or not I felt contracts could be settled.” In reference to whether or not teachers are underpaid and overworked or the other way around, Shantz said, “I would support teacher’s salaries as long as the funding was there to pay them and that it was “I have a vested interest in the education of the children in our community,” he said. “I have three children in local schools and hire children educated here.” Mansfield has a bachelor's degree in agronomy, a scientific crop production degree from Penn State University and has 52 credits toward a master of business administration degree at Michigan State University. Mansfield said that his business background would help him be a good choice for a school board member. “I feel that my education and training to run a business help me to understand finances, budgets, contracts, etc. This experience would help out should I be elected to a position on the school board.” He sees Maple Valley’s biggest problems as school financing and the need for students to learn skills needed in the next decade, such as computer training. “The bottom line on school financing is that we all pay for education and every citizen should have a part because everyone benefits from education through having a See Voters decide, Page 9 Ice Cream........

Firemen Tony Wawiernia and Rod Harmon spoke to students in the classes of teachers Lynn Snodgrass and Vickey on topics ranging from water safety to car­ diopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The children were given a hands-on demonstra- tion of how to use CPR and the Heimlich maneuver using demonstration dummies. The Heimlich maneuver is a procedure used to help dis­ lodge an object from the throat of a choking victim. If someone is choking, you would place your arms around their waist and push your thumb in and up into the per­ son’s stomach above the belly button. This causes all the air to gush out of your body and helps to dislodge whatever is preventing the person from breathing. The children also discussed safety in the kitchen, how to prevent sunburn and heat stroke, how to use fire extin­ guishers and smoke detectors, crossing the street, looking out for younger children and how to use 911 in an emer­ gency. “Think safety, work safely and act safely,” said Harmon. “Learn to be safe.” Maplewood first-graders watch carefully as Vermontville Township fireman Tony Wawiernia demonstrate the proper way to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation using a training dummy. Vermontville Lions vote to support D.A.R.E. The Vermontville Lions recently were hosts to Deputy Mike Monroe and Kris Green, elementary school counselor May 25. Monroe is the Community Service officer for the Eaton County Sheriffs Dept.-, and will teach the D.A.R.E. pro­ gram at Maplewood Elemen­ tary for the sixth grade. D.A.R.E. teaches self awareness, self esteem, peer pressure influence, and techniques to say “No” to drugs. The program came to Michigan in 1988 and over 400 police officers are teaching it in schools. Officers are a strong in­ fluence on kids because they are a strong authority figure. Communities are helped to create a drug-free environ­ ment and students are taught to decide for themselves how they can keep their bodies healthy. D.A.R.E. stands for “Drug Abuse Resistance Education.” Vermontville Lions voted to support the program financial­ ly by supplying funds for the materials.

Parks The statewide election on Proposal A is now history. The defeat of a statewide plan joins many others in recent years. Though our part of the state saw themselves as benefiting, the southeastern part of the state apparently did not. It can be very difficult to achieve consensus among an electorate in an area as big as our state. Though it is possible that the state Legislature will look for other alternatives, we do not know when that will be. Therefore, it is time to turn our eyes toward local answers to meet our goals and solve our problems. We will return to the polls next Monday to determine who will help provide the necessary leadership through the challenging days ahead. See the article on board candidates elsewhere in this edition. The quality of our schools is largely determined by the quality of our board members. You also will be asked to allow the board to levy the full amount of voted millage so that we do not lose nearly $145,000 in state and local revenues. Most of that amount is from the state and is badly needed if we are to maintain our programs and services. An old adage says that we should achieve our goals and solve our problems as close to home as possible. The challenge is to follow that advice at the annual election June 14. Let’s make it happen by studying the qualifications of the candidates and the ballot question carefully and then voting in the annual election. Thursday, June 10 Pizza, green beans, pear.

This date commemorates July 4, 1976, when the Continental Congress adopted the final draft of the Declaration of Independence. This document proclaimed the reasons for the political sepa­ ration of the 13 original colonies from Great Britain and marked the birth of the United States. A committee of five dele­ gates made up of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert R. Livingston were appointed by Congress to prepare a state­ ment in support of a resolu­ tion asserting that the 13 colonies should be free and in­ dependent states. That state­ ment became the Declaration of Independence. Although it was adopted by Congress on July 4, most del­ egates didn’t sign the docu­ ment until August. Fifty-six signatures appear on the Declaration of Independence. Among those who signed, and the colonists they represented, there was a mingling of doubt, uncertainty, courage and determination. The origi­ nal copy of the Declaration of Independence has been on dis­ play in the National Archives since 1952 in a helium-filled, bronze-bound glass case. The first observance of Independence Day was held in 1777 and it was called the Glorious Fourth. Thirteengun salutes, bonfires and special ceremonies were held in Philadelphia, but it was not yet celebrated throughout the new nation. After the ratification of the Constitution in 1788, Independence Day gamed a greater meaning. Pennsylvania became the first state to declare it a legal holiday in 1873 and it is now one in all 50 states and possessions of the United States. The day is usually celebrated with picnics, fireworks and the flying of the American flag. It is more than just4nother holiday, it marks the beginning of the United States of America. Nashville to raise taxes by nearly one mill by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Village taxes in Nashville will raisc -.9956 of a mill this year with the general millage rate from 10.7232 to 10.88 and streets millage going from 3.5132 to 4.352. This means that a home with an SEV of $50,000 would pay about $5 a year more in local taxes this year. “This is an increase of about 4.1 percent,” said trustee Jeff Beebe. “That is about the same as the inflation rate.” The decision to raise taxes came after discussion at a public hearing last Thursday evening. In other business, the council voted to accept the resignation of Raymond Hinkley as village president (see related story), which leaves the posi- tion to Ted Spoelstra, who was president pro tern. The council appointed trustee Richard Chaffee as the new president pro tem. This also leaves open a trustee position until April 1994 after the next village election. Those interested in filling this position is urged to submit their names to the village office. A new trustee will be appointed by the council from these names. Council also heard an update from Wolverine on the testing of a water well site for rhe village in an area inside of Lakeview Cemetery. A test well drilled by Wolverine has found water and was expected to have the chemical analysis required by the health depart­ ment turned in to the council by press time. According to Wolverine offi­ cials, the next step after the chemical analysis is to request a permit from the health de­ partment to put down a 12inch test production well. Then they would run a series of tests on the well and the water from it. If constructed on the site proposed by Wolverine, the well is expected to take up only about a 30-by-30-foot area of the cemetery grounds with a 12-by-14-foot sized building. The well is part of im­ provements the village is making to the present water system and is being paid for out of funds from the "Rebuild Michigan" grant awarded to the village earlier this year. The council also heard a re- port from trustee Jeff Beebe on a fire protection financing review. Beebe’s report showed that Nashvihe now pays .4855 mill for fire protection and capital equipment purchases to Castleton Township,1.5108783 mills are paid through Nashville’s one-third contribution and that .6613756 of a mill was paid for the operational cost of fire hydrants based on Nashville’s SEV of $9,828,000 in 1992. . Using these figures, the re­ port shows that Nashville paid a total of 2.3030822 mills with the total amount of tax dollars paid out by Nashville residents to be $22,633.88.

Hinckley resigns as Village President See Village taxes, Page 2 Raymond Hinckley Sales offer shoppers all kinds of bargains Nashville village-wide yard sale set Business was brisk in yards and garages all over Nashville despite the rainy weather during last weekend's village wide sales. The streets of Nashville re­ sembled a crowded shopping mall, filled with post-holiday bargain hunters, last weekend during the annual village garage sale. Overcast skies and rain, which was heavy at times, did not deter the would-be bargain hunters from their appointed missions. Some walked, rode bicycles, or drove around the village looking for that “special item” that someone else no longer wanted. The old saying, “One man’s junk is another man’s trea­ sure” was definitely the order of the day. Some people were out for a leisurely stroll, window shop­ ping on a major scale. However, many were busy taking advantage of the variety of items for sale. See Yard sales, Page 2 by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Nashville Village President Raymond Hinckley resigned his position effective Monday, June 21. “I haven’t been happy with the job for a while,” said Hinckley. “My reasons for re­ signing are personal, but were partly because of some med­ dling of a non-voting village official in matters concerning village employees. I’m sick Ted Spoelstra of the job.” Hinckley, a retired banker for what is now Comerica in Battle Creek, was in his second two-year term of office as village president, having originally been elected to the office in March 1990 and re­ elected in March 1992. He has spent most of the last 19 years on the council, serving first as a trustee in 1974.

One woman could be seen going from house to house, looking to add to her salt and pepper shaker collection. Another shopper was hoping to find a particular lamp for her living room. One couple said they spend many weekends driving around, browsing through the many single-family garage sales. They said: “A garage sale on the scale of this one is hard to pass up. There are some real bargains out there, if you just take the time to look.” There were those vendors who had firm prices for their merchandise, while others en­ joyed the age-old tradition of haggling with a customer be­ fore completing a deal. A few of Nashville’s young entrepreneurs also took advan­ tage of the crowd of bargain hunters. They set up refresh­ ment stands or booths of their own, attempting to earn spending money, money for summer camp, or money to buy a new bicycle. Nashville senior apartments get underway A sign recently went up on Reed Street near Carl’s Supermarket in Nashville, proclaiming the future site of a senior citizen apartment complex that will soon begin contruction. The 24-unit building is being built by James Lakin of Portland and will consist of one-bedroom units to be offered to elderly and handicapped people.

Most of this property is from agricultural lands and not structures.

The classifications are due in part to the fire barn’s location. Beebe con­ cluded that if the fire barn were not within Nashville’s village limits, than the village would probably not have the class seven rating, but would be rated higher.

You’ve remembered to pack all the essentials you’ll need for the ride, but have you re­ membered to protect you and your children from the possi­ bility of an accident? Traffic crashes rank as the No. 1 cause of death in Americans between the ages of one and 44, according to the National Safety Council. During 1989, in Michigan 73 children from birth through 14 years were killed and 10,416 were injured in traffic accidents. A recent University of Michigan study indicates that young people between the ages of 4 to 15 have one of the lowest safety belt use rates of all age groups. This can lead to needless deaths and injuries. Some parents may think that children are safer riding in their laps, but this is not true. In a moderate speed accident at 30 mph, a child would be thrown from his mother’s example by wearing seat belts themselves. It’s not only good advice, it’s the law. Remember this simple rule: The motor doesn’t start until everyone is buckled up. Since July 1, 1985, all 50 states have had restraint laws requiring children under a cer­ tain age or weight to ride in a government approved car safety seat.

For example, a 10-pound infant would suddenly weigh 300 pounds at the instant of a crash. Some parents may say, “My child doesn’t like to ride in a car seat. He screams and cries and I can’t stand the noise.” This scenario can be avoided by conditioning children to being in a car seat. If children are placed in a car seat from the very first ride home from the hospital, they will expect always to ride in it. Parents also can set a good be protected with the proper safety device. Babies under the age of a year and weighing less than 20 pounds must ride in a car seat facing backwards in a re­ clining position. Children from ages 1 to 4 must ride front facing in either a regular car seat or a toddler safety seat designed for older children. Children ages 4 to 16 must be properly protected by a regular seat belt, no matter where they are seated in the car. The safest place to put a child is in the middle of the back seat, properly buckled up in either a car seat or a seat belt. Anyone over 16 seated in the front seat of a vehicle also is required by law to wear a safety belt. Here are some of the guide­ lines that should be followed for buying a child car seat: 1. Will the seat fit into your car? Some bucket seats are not large enough to hold some models of car seats. Some back seats may not be deep enough or the seat belt long enough to stretch across a rear-facing seat. If possible, try the seat out in your car be­ fore buying it to check for fit and ease of use. If the seat is incorrectly placed or used, it will not protect your child. 2. What sort of seat should you buy? Safety experts agree that the five-point safety har­ ness system is best, but also praise the full shield designs. The shield may offer a child a bit more freedom of move­ ment than a harness. When fastening a seat with a harness, be sure to connect all the straps correctly.

The class has been meeting Mondays through Thursdays at the Maple Valley Jr ./Sr. High School in two sessions. The first runs from 9 a.m. to noon and the second session runs from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. from now until July 1. The course includes the ba­ sics of IBM computer com­ mands, educational games, print shop utilities, and an as­ sortment of other programs. Instructor Debra Hewson said she feels strongly about children being exposed to computers early in life. “I believe that kids should begin to experience computers as early as possible,” she said. “Computers are necessary in our lives today.” The course is offered each year by the Community Education office and the cost Debbie Hewson shows Brian Rumsey some of the games that can be played on an IBM computer during one of the summer classes going on now at the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School this year, sponsored by Community Education. is $20.

After all, community blood drives provide a vital part of our na­ tion’s blood supply,” said local Red Cross Executive Director Karen Depres. “There are all kinds of ex­ cuses for not giving blood, ranging from ‘I don’t have time,’ to ‘I might get a disease,’ or even, ‘It will hurt.’ “I say, How can you not make time to save up to four lives? There is no way you can get any disease from giv­ ing blood. And that needle is never going to hurt anywhere as much as it will if you lose a friend or family member because there wasn’t enough blood on hand. “We need cooperation to insure sufficient supplies in the lab in Lansing. This is the only source used by Pennock Hospital. Remember, every one who is eligible is needed to assure an adequate supply.” Anyone who is at least 17 years of age, weighs at least 110 pounds and has not donated blood in the last 56 days is eligible to contribute.

The Community Building originally was constructed in 1891 as the Water Works Building. Sometime in the 1960s, an addition was built to the kitchen and bathrooms. Early in the 1980s, a project was put together to paint mu­ rals on the inside walls, de­ picting sap gathering and maple syrup making.

Nashville Patrolman Mike Darnell attempted to stop the vehicle on a routine traffic stop on Main Street in the village when the truck instead fled the scene. Darnell chased the truck and its three occu­ pants north out of town for approximately 14 minutes un- til reaching Greggs Crossing. At that point the driver and two passengers exited the ve­ hicle and fled into the wooded area. Darnell contacted the Barry County Sheriffs office and Wayland Police Department for assistance. Wayland sent a police dog, which was used to locate the two passengers of the truck. The driver was not found and is still at large. Engagements The two passengers were not charged with any crimes, but a warrant has been issued for the driver, charging him with fleeing and eluding, driving with a suspended license, second offense, having an unregistered vehicle and improper plates. No description has been released and the truck was impounded.

If they’re used improperly or carelessly, they can injure plants other than the weeds you’re trying to control. It often takes costly laboratory analyses by trained experts to determine whether herbicide injury has occurred. Larry Olsen, pesticide educa­ tion coordinator at Michigan State University, recommends that people using herbicides take every possible precaution to avoid injury to non-target plants. Factors affecting the spread of herbicides to non-target plants include the formulation of the herbicide some vaporize easier than others; how it’s applied — chemicals applied as sprays are more likely to drift to non-target plants than granular her­ bicides; high temperatures (greater than 85 degrees F) during or right after applica­ tion can cause some her­ bicides to vaporize and drift; wind; and soil type — some herbicides may move readily through sandy or porous soils, especially after a rain or irrigation. “Choosing the proper her­ bicide to control the target pest in the best formulation for your situation is a big fac­ tor in preventing herbicide damage to other plants,” Olsen sums up. A basic part of choosing a herbicide is knowing what weeds you have. Information and assistance with weed identification are available from county MSU Extension offices. Preemergent herbicides to control undesirable grasses, such as crabgrass, before the weeds sprout are unlikely to cause drift problems. They’re applied in early spring before most plants are growing and don’t persist long in the soil. Herbicides used for postemergent control of weedy grasses may drift. Because they will kill desirable grasses and may in­ jure broadleaf plants as well as weedy grasses, they must EWING WELL DRILLING INC. be used with care. with care.

Soil sterilants, which can be used only by ceritified pesticide applicators, control weeds, insects and disease organisms in soil. Soil sterilants can injure tree roots growing into treated sites up to two years later.

The board passed a budget totaling $6,593,889 in expected revenues and revenues and $6,935,889 in expenditures, causing aa shortfall shortfall of $341,122. The deficit would be made up from the school equity fund. The equity fund comes from money not used for other purposes and grows each year through interest earned. An equity fund balance of $674,043, projected for the end of the 1992-93 fiscal year (June 30) would drop to $332,921.

Heaton would have been up for re-election in March 1994. She was on her third two-year term of office, having origi­ nally been elected as clerk in 1988. She has been a village official since December of 1987, when she was appointed by the council to fill the position of village office manager. Village officials said that a new clerk will have to be ap­ pointed after action is taken by the council at the next reg­ ular meeting Thursday, July 8. “I have felt honored to serve the village and am proud of the accomplishments I have made while serving,” said Heaton. “It is with mixed emotions that I have come to this decision, but feel it is in my best interests to step aside and let someone else have the honor of serving as the village clerk of Nashville.” Heaton also said that another reason for her resignation was that she is putting together a jewelry business and needed more time for it. Village President Ted Spoelstra said that the village will miss Heaton. “I’m a little disappointed Rose Heaton with her decision to resign, he said. She has done a tremendous job and has been very valuable to the village, especially in helping to write grants. We will miss her. "I wish that she had given us more notice, but I understand her wanting to leave.” Opera House submitted for entry into the National Register of Historical Places by Teresa Frith Staff Writer The Vermontville Opera House soon will be listed in the National Register of Historic Places of the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, if a recent application is approved. Finished in 1898, the Opera House was dedicated as a Michigan Historical Building April 30, 1978, by Jerry D. Roe, Michigan Historical Commissioner. A marker in the front of the building tells a little about its history and marks it as a historical landmark. The site for the building was purchased by Vermontville Township's Henry H. Graham on July 29, 1895, for $200. It was reported in various area newspapers that the cornerstone was placed in The Vermontville Opera House is being considered for placement in the National Register of Historic Places. An application was submitted last month to the National Register branch of the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. An answer to that application is expected later this month. August 1895, but full construction wasn’t completed until several years later. The building is a two-story red brick structure with a cut stone foundation and an offcenter tower over the front entrance. It also has a balcony, coat check room and box office for ticket sales. It was built to replace a building used for village and township business and various forms of social events. “The building has never been changed, except for the remodeling of the library and some inside renovations,” said longtime village resident Hildred Peabody. Few alterations indeed have been made to the exterior of the opera house since it was built. In 1908 the windows were changed so that they could be raised up and down, instead of swinging out, for better ventilation. In 1973, archhitect Chris King designed renovations to the former fire station engine bay openings in the rear of the building and made an entry for the township library. In the 1980s the steps to the front of the building were replaced with similar steps. In 1991, a Michigan Outstate Equity Grant allowed the township to renovate and repair the building. The roof was repaired in a manner that allowed it to resemble the appearance of the original tile roof. Despite this, the exterior has kept its original form and overall physical appearance. The interior has gone through some minor cosmetic changes over the years. Funds from the 1991 grant were used to restore southern pine wainscotting in the main secion, backstage and in the lobby area. A maple floor was installed over the original floor in 1963. Painting inside the house followed the original paint See Opera House, Page 2 In This Issue... • Nashville receives $26,400 grant for sidewalk work. • Summer hockey program starts at Kellogg Elementary School • Mulberry Fore holds first father-child golf tournament • Work gets underway on new Maple Manor annex �The Mople Valley New*, Nashville, Tuesday, July 6, 1993 — Page 2 OPERA HOUSE, scheme and new chandeliers, patterned after lighting fixtures of the 1890s era, were ' installed.

For many towns of a century ago, opera houses were the center of commuity activities. This fact still holds true for the village of Vermontville, as the Opera House is home to many school activities, weddings, auctions and other special events. It has been the home of the library, located in the basement below the main hall since 1948. The library was given rooms that were formerly used for the Village Council. The library was expanded when the fire deparment was moved out of the opera house in 1973. wIt has been a focal point for village activities since its original construction. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many of the village’s most important public gatherings and social events were held in there. It was there that Vem Slout presented his first production. Slout’s traveling lent shows continued from frontpage were known throughout the Midwest. He also chose to play the last performance of his career on the opera house stage, where that career was started. The very first event held in the hall seems to have been a free-silver speech, according to a report in the Charlotte Advertisments Tribune. between 1901 and 1910 show that it was used for dances, lectures, plays, musical performances, and vaudeville. The Vermonville Opera House may be one of the oldest examples in Michigan of a municipal buidling both containing local government offices and an auditorium that can be used for many different functions.

The horse was still the primary means of getting from here to there. (There was no information on what a bale of hay cost to keep the horse’s tank full.) The average price tag on a new house was $5,250, compared to $124,573 today. Incomes also have increased slightly since then. The average income for my great- grandfather’s generation was $630. 50 YEARS AGO.... • The Michigan Bell Telephone Company asked Nashville residents, as a war measure, to keep their tele­ phone use to a minimum in order to help relieve a serious condition in the community’s communications service. • Private George Graham, son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Graham of Nashville, received a commendation from his commanding officer for his participation in the rescue of an American flyer from the Pacific Ocean. • Officials of the Lentz Table Company announced they now have sufficient or- ders and commitments on hand to ensure full production well into 1944.

Violators could lose their licenses up to 90 days and pay a maximum fine of $250. Repeat offenders would face a license suspension of one year and a maximum $500 fine. “Using driving privileges to control the consumption, possession and purchase of alcohol by those with no legal right to drink should further reduce this deadly practice,’’ Fitzgerald said.

July 13. 1993 Nashville Council votes to Former school superintendent change recent tax millage OK’d is new Nashville Council trustee by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Nashville Village Council members voted Thursday to rescind their recent decision to raise village taxes by nearly one mill, but taxes will still rise slightly due to recent assessment hikes and the rate of inflation. At the last meeting, the council had voted to raise local taxes to the legal limit by .9956 of a mill. That meant that general millage would have gone from 10.7232 to 10.88, and streets millage from 3.5132 to 4.352. This move would have lead to an increase in village revenue of about $24,000, but officials decided this would lead to too much of a burden to residents. “By law we could have made this change,” said trustee Richard Chaffee, “But the village revenues will still rise without it.” Council voted to lower the millage to a total of 13.52 mills, which is .737 of a mill lower than last year. This translates into a general millage of 10.445 and a streets millage of 3.4817. Though this is a lower total millage than last year’s rates, tax revenue still will rise, based on a 3 percent hike in inflation and according to the amount of a homeowner’s assessement increases for this year. Nashville’s SEV rose from last year’s $10,980,700 to $11,878,982. The village expects to receive a total of about $167,000 in taxes this year more than last year’s collection of $158,567.63. In other village business the council: • Voted to accept the recent resignation of Village Clerk Rose Heaton with regrets and send her a letter of thanks. Village Office Manager Cathy Lentz will take over the duties of village clerk until the next general village election in March 1994. • Appointed Carroll Wolffto fill the recently vacated village trustee position. He will perve the remainder of the term and be eligible to run for the position in the next village election. (See related story in this issue.) • Discussed once again the possibility of hiring a village manager. The person’s duties would include being the head of the village office and its departments, the ability to hire, fire and discipline village employees, help with grant writing and other items. “A village manager would See Council votes, Page 2 by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Former Maple Valley Schools Superintendent and recent School Board President Carroll Wolff once again re­ turned to a prominent position in Nashville — a trustee position on the village council. Wolff was selected from among three other people for the seat left vacant two weeks ago because of the resignation of former Village President Raymond Hinkley. After for­ mer President Pro Tem Ted Spolestra was moved up to the president’s slot, a vacancy was left. Wolff will fill the remainder of Spoelstra’s two-year term, which would have ended in April. He will then have the option of running for the seat at the next election.

He had been elected to the seat in June of last year to a one-year trustee's position and chosen as board president by fellow board members. Wolff is well known in the comunity, having served as Maple Valley’s school superintendent for 28 years, retiring at the end of 1990. He was sworn in to his new duties as village trustee during Thursday’s regular council meeting. 141st Barry County Fair runs July 17- 24 this year by Teresa Frith Staff Writer The 141st edition of the Barry County Fair is slated to run July 17-24 at the fair­ grounds on M-37 between Hastings and Middleville.

Village Council members Thursday voted to purchase a trench box, which is a cage- like device used to shield workers during excavation work and protect them from cave-ins. The trench box will cost $3,836 and is expected to be ordered soon. In other business last week the council: • Voted to purchase a used Vermontville village continues 14-mill rate by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Vermontville Village Council members voted to maintain last year’s tax rate of 14 mills for 1993-94 after a special truth in taxation public hearing last week, but recent assessment rises will still mean more taxes for residents. Assessments were up an average of 10 percent in the village, according to Village Clerk Sharon Stewart. This rise will cause residents to pay additional taxes because of the rise in State Equalized Value (SEV) of their homes. Vermontville’s SEV last year was $4,677,590, which generated $65,486 in taxes for general operating expenses. With the rise in assessment value this year, Vermontville’s SEV is $5,349,640. This will generate $74,894 in taxes, which will go into the general operating expenses budget. That will cause an increase in revenues of $9,408 for the village. To figure out what that translates into for taxpayers, take this year’s SEV of your home and divide it by 1,000 and multiply that number by 14. This will show you the amount of taxes to be paid this year. For example, if your SEV last year was $14,850, a total of $207.90 in taxes was paid to the village. If your assessment rose 10 percent, the new SEV would have risen to $16,335. This would cause your taxes this year to rise to $228.76. This would mean a rise in taxes of $20.86 for the next year. mail box to be repainted and used as a drop box in front of the village hall. The drop box will be for people to use to pay their water bills when the office is not open or to leave any other official corrspondence for the village. “This will give village resi­ dents a secure place to leave their bill payments and other correspondence for the vil­ lage,” said Village Clerk Sharon Stewart. • Discussed the need to place water meters at the local churches and at the fire barn. These locations now pay only a base rate. The council voted to purchase the meters required for these buildings and will install them as soon as they arrive. Affected customers will be given advance notice as to the expected changes in their billing. • Discussed a letter from the Michigan Department of Public Health about the vil­ lage dumphouse casing vents and asking the village to build up their pumphouse pedestals. The village was also asked to update their sampling site plan, which was last revised in 1986. At that time, the vil­ lage was found to have suffi­ cient water flow, but an up­ date is needed to see if that is still true. The village also was com- mended by the department for their decision to spend part of their Rebuild Michigan grant to loop some of the village water lines and replace exist­ ing water lines that are less than six inches in diameter. The village will be taking bids to complete the items asked for by the department. • Approved the purchase of chlorine warning signs to be placed on the village pump­ house. here comes a time when the demands of home ownership can become too much.

Vermontville businessman Robert Worgul spins some tales that children of all ages can read and enjoy. A Lansing resident, he has owned Caleb’s Mill orchards for the past 15 years. Worgul says that he became interested in writing children’s stories after inventing and publishing several games in the 1960s. “One of those games was called "Izzatso," a game of matching up proverbial say­ ings,” said Worgul. “As I was looking up proverbial sayings in a book, I saw one that went, ‘Every mule loves to hear itself bray.’ I thought that that sounded like a good idea for a children’s story.” Worgul worked that idea into one of his first stories, which was about a singing donkey. Over the last 10-15 years, Worgul has written several stories. Most are in a rural setting and he says that his inspiration usually came from things familiar to him. “My stories reflect my expe­ riences,” said Worgul. “I get my inspiration from my things that happened in my childhood or with my own children.” Worgul believes strongly in reading to children. He and his wife taught one of their own children to read by using the back ofcereal boxes. “Children love to be read to and to use their imagination,” he said. “I think that it helps kids to learn to read if they are read to.” Worgul says that his own writing may have inspired two of his own children to become writers. Both have had stories or articles printed in newspapers or other media. Worgul admits that story writing isn’t a fast and simple procedure. His stories usually take two to three months to go from idea to completion. “Some ideas come fast, oth­ ers take more time to de­ velop,” he said. “The chal­ lenge is to incorporate an idea into a story.” . The following example of his work shows how some­ thing out of Worgul’s own childhood gave him the idea for one of his stories. “I was bom and raised during the Depression, the ninth of 12 children,” said Worgul. “All families go through diffi­ cult times sometime in their lives. Sometimes things that we wish for are not always what we want. That’s the idea I wanted to put into “The Magic Pocket.” Here’s one of his stories: The Magic Pocket by Robert Worgul Once upon a time, a poor farmer lived with his wife and young son. They didn’t have much money, but they loved each other. The farmer worked very hard to make ends meet. His wife had plenty to do around the house. One day as she was making curtains out of feed bags, the farmer went into the woods to gather mushrooms. Suddenly, he heard a cry for help. An elf had fallen into a stream, and was about to drown. “Help me,” cried the elf, “And I will give you my coat with a magic pocket.” So the farmer pulled the elf out and the elf gave the man his coat. “You have three wishes,” said the elf. “The pocket con­ tains all the wishes people have ever made. You only have to reach into the pocket, take out a stone, throw it into a creek, and you will get your wish the next day.” The farmer was happy to get the coat. He brought it home and told his wife what had happened. “But we don’t need wishes to make us happy,” said the wife. But the farmer put the coat on anyway, pulled out a stone, threw it into the creek, and wished he had a bigger farm.

He planted more corn, raised more pigs, and milked more cows. He worked from early morning to late at night. He also worried about too much rain and too little rain, he worried about insects and tax collectors. Instead of being happy, he became unhappy. “I got what I wished for,” said the farmer to his wife,” but it was not what I wanted.. I no longer have time to gather mushrooms or go fish­ ing. What I need is another horse so I can work faster.” “But are you sure the faster horse will make you happy?” said the wife. But the farmer didn’t listen. He put on the coat, pulled out a stone, threw it into the creek, and wished for a faster horse. The next day a horse trader stopped at the farm with a fine looking steed. The new horse could run fast and it liked to be petted. It ate apples out of the farmer’s hand. So the farmer bought the horse. But the new horse didn’t like farm work and balked when he was hitched to the plow. The only thing the horse liked to do was carry riders on his back. The horse was almost useless on the farm. “I got what I wished for,” said the farmer, “But it was not what I wanted. I wish I had someone to help me.” So he reached into the magic pocket, and threw the last stone into the creek. The farmer expected the next day he would be able to hire a strong, husky, young man to help him with all the work he had to do around the farm. But a husky young man did not come to the farm the next day. But his friend, Josh, did come by. “Are you enjoying your bigger farm and new horse?” asked Josh. “Not really,” said the farmer. “The wishes I made didn’t work out too good. I got what I wished for, but not what I wanted. I wish I had some time for my family. But my three wishes are all used up.” “You don’t need wishes to spend more time with your family. Just do it,” said Josh. That sounded like good ad­ vice, so the farmer went home. His wife was happy. She had baked an apple pie. And his son was happy. They went fishing, and while they were in the woods, the farmer gave the coat back to the elf. “I don’t need wishes to make me happy,” said the farmer. “I have my wife, my son, and my nice home, and that’s all I need.” Calendar of Events Safe &■ sound since 1886 HASTINGS Cierra Ann Marie Royston listens intently as Robert Worgul reads her one of the children’s short stories he has written over the past 15 years.

The week’s theme was “follow the cloud, not the crowd.” This was in reference to the cloud that God sent to the Israelites to show them when to move on or stay put during their trek through the desert. During the week students heard Bible stories, made crafts, sang songs and learned Bible verses during the week long class. At the end of the week, parents were invited to attend a special performance by all the classes. Kingsburys to mark 40th anniversary Some of the children who attended the Maple Grove Church Vacation Bible School last week stand behind the model display of the Tabernacle of God that Moses and the Israelites used during their 40-year trek through the desert.

Tuesday, July 13, 1993 — Page 9 How to handle summer dental emergencies Illta *ah mi July brings summer into full swing, and summer means vacation travel for millions of Americans. Whether driving the family across the U.S. to see the Grand Canyon, or jet­ ting off to Europe, packing a dental emergency kit is good protection against a spoiled vacation. “Dental emergencies can happen anywhere and anytime. Being prepared can make the difference between handling a dental problem and getting on with your fun, or having it ruin your plans,” says Jay Werschky, DDS, president of the Michigan Dental Association. Pack these basics for your trip: aspirin or a substitute, gauze, cotton, floss, oil of cloves, paraffin and “Dental First Aids Facts,” a handy pocket reference available from the Michigan Dental Association. Here are some tips on how to handle the following dental problems: Toothache: Rinse your mouth well with warm water and gently floss between the teeth to remove any trapped food. Use a cold compress on the outside of the cheek if there is swelling, and take a pain reliever. Never place an aspirin directly on the tooth or gum. Broken Tooth: Rinse with warm water, apply cold com­ presses to the cheek, and get to a dentist as soon as possible. Knocked Out Tooth: Rinse the tooth lightly in running water, but don’t scrub it, and touch it as little as possible. Put the tooth back in the socket and hold it firmly in place. If you can’t re-insert the tooth, keep it in a glass or container of water or milk, to keep the nerve clean and moist. Get to a dentist within 30 minutes, if possible, to im­ prove the chances of the tooth being saved. Objects Wedged Between Teeth: Gently remove the ob- ject with floss and avoid cut­ ting the gums. Do not use a sharp instrument. Lost Filling: Apply oil of cloves to cotton, squeeze out the excess and place a small piece ofthe cotton in the cavi­ ty. Or, cover the cavity with paraffin, and take aspirin as needed. Bitten Tongue or Lip: Put direct pressure on the bleeding area with a clean cloth and apply a cold com­ press to minimize swelling. If the bleeding doesn’t stop, go to a nearby hospital. Possible Fractured Jaw; Immobilize the jaw by any means, such as a handker­ chief, necktie or towel tied around the head, and go to a hospital emergency room as quickly as possible. The above tips are only temporary emergenc-y measures. If you are away PUNTITFOR LESSSALE Zenith &DUNN WEATHER CARE HOUSE & TRIM XOoK*DU** Latex Flat Ideal for aluminum siding.

Tobias was nominated by Ted Spoelstra for the office and elected by a unanimous vote after no other members were suggested for the post. He has held several positions on the board since 1981, in­ cluding secretary and treasurer. “I plan to try to get unity on the board, work to meet common goals and do what­ ever is best for the students Nashville intersection to be inlarged Home to be moved due to Route 79 widening by Teresa Frith Staff Writer A Nashville home on the corner of M-66 and M-79 soon will be moving to a new location because of a road widening project that will add a right turning lane on that comer. A bulldozer was hard at work digging around a house last week at the corner of M­ 79 and M-66 in Nashville in preparation to move it elsewhere in the area. A right hand turning lane is being added there to provide a wider area for large trucks and other vehicles to turn. The turning lane is being added by the construction divi­ sion of the Michigan Department of Transportation to provide more room for large trucks and other vehicles to turn right onto Route 66. The project is expected to be completed by sometime in November, according to Inez Warren, foreman for Hastings Maintenance Garage. The two-story house that is located on the corner was pur­ chased by Pitsch of Grand Rapids and then sold to Martin Dawson of Nashville. Mike Smith of Hastings is expected to move the home by the end of the month to its new location. Several trees along the area where the new turning lane will be placed also will have to be moved or taken down. “We plan to try to save as many of the -trees that we can and move them elsewhere,” said Warren. “It may be hard though, because some of the roots are growing under gas main lines.” with the dollars that we have,” said Tobias. Elected to the other offices was Joe Briggs for vice presi­ dent, Ted Spoelstra secretary and John Krolik treasurer.

Nashville, Tuesday, July 20. 1993 — Pope 2 MUSEUM TO OPEN, continued from front pagecounties until Olivet College later became well established. The Rev. W.U. Benedilt. the second pastor of the church, organized the women! of the church into a society for the welfare of the academy. One of their first accomplishments was to buy the windows for the building. Each window contains 16 panes of glass,, which is considered very unusual by today’s standards. In 1847 the ladies added a bell that was used for calling worshippers to services, students to classes and to alert village residents to important happenings. Village records show that the tolling of the bell in 1865 proclaimed the death and assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. The First Congregational Church held services in the building until 1864, when the present church building was completed and dedicated. The church continued to use the building for church suppers, board members' meetings and the meetings of the Ladies Christian Association. VERMONTVILLE ACADEMY In 1836 a group from Vermont known as the Union Colony settled here. The members were determined that their children should receive a good education. The Vermontville Academical Association was farmed, constructed this building, and opened it for classes In the winter of 1844'45. Vermontville was advertised as an ideal location for an academy.' since there was little ‘ to distract’ the students from their .work; Because most of the,Colony were Congregation* alists, their minister also served as the Academy .'teacher. 'Religious services were held here here'until 1664 when the church* across the street was completed. Town meetings were held in the Academy, and In 1853 Vermontville’s first general store opened on the ground floor. The building has served other purposes over the years as well. Prior to construction of the Vermontville Opera House, it was used for annual township meetings. It has housed other non-church functions such as receptions, banquets, parties and meetings.

Later improvements allowed the lower level to become an attractive parlor. The building became a museum in 1965 after the Vermontville Historical Society received permission from the church. The next year it was opened officially to the public during the Maple Syrup Festival. A bronze plaque was placed on the grounds in 1970 by the Michigan Historical Commission designating the academy building as a historical landmark. It was placed on the National Registry of Historical Buildings in 1972. A major restoration project was started in 1976. The original pine floor was replaced and the foundation strengthened. By the summer of 1983 the upper floor was being leveled and carpeted, paneling was added to the walls and a new fire escape was built. 55 Or Older?

The second goal was to ex­ pand programs and learning opportunities. One out of three of the proposed goals was met in this area. The community education program was greatly expanded to include more classes for all ages. These additional pro­ grams included a YMCA fam­ ily night, computer classes for the lower elementary grades and an adult softball league. Objectives not met included completing plans for a middle school and developing a seven-period class day for the 7-12 grade levels. The third goal was to im­ prove community understand­ ing and support of school programs, services and needs. All three proposed objectives were met. These included en­ couraging the public to be­ come better informed through orientations, open houses, etc; encouraging citizens to give their opinions through surveys, personal contact and advisory councils; and improving the school newsletter. In the area of the goal to improve staff contracts and re­ lations, the board was able to negotiate contracts last year, to improve contract wording and to set up monthly meet­ ings to help improve staff communications. While unable to met the goal of completing the im­ plementation of staff recogni­ tion recommendations made by the long-range planning committee, the board did ac­ complish all five objectives in improving buildings and sites. These included making bath­ rooms more handicapped ac­ cessible, adding two portable classrooms at Kellogg School to make it possible to serve special needs children in their own neighborhoods, con­ structing a storage building at the high school and completing a weight room at the high school. The goal of improving planning and budget processes was accomplished by completing the school year's purchases in March to allow planning for the next year, putting the hot lunch budget on the computer, seeking additional support through more grants and looking for ways to there is no definite time tables to get a bill out."

The new Maple Valley Child Care Center is making this move partly because of the recent sale of the Nashville Methodist Church annex building, where the nursery school met last year. “Part of the church vision when the Christian Education Center section was built in 1992 was to house a licensed day care facility,” said First Congregation Church pastor Chris Richards. “Through a series of informal discussions we were approached by the preschool to house it here.” It is expected that the center will open Aug. 30 and will •ifc, ’“'’Hike H Si » Sk, offer programs for children from ages six weeks through 12 years. It is a state-approved child care and nursery school, which is currently licensed by the Eaton County Department of Social Services. Some of the features the center promises will be: • Fully qualified and experienced staff. • Convenient flexible hours of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. • Nutritionally balanced meals and snacks. • Walking distance from Maplewood Elementary school and a park with a play­ ground. • Transportation available for Fuller Street Elementary students in Nashville. •A pre-school and pre­ kindergarten program • Full-time care up to 50 hours a week, part-time care up to 20 hours a week, before and after school care and hourly rates. ",*^**5 " ,*^**5 S’*'1 s The center also is expected to offer parenting classes and workshops. A parent volunteer program is also available, but parents will no longer be required to help out as they were in the Co-op. Fees for the center care will be $70 a week for full time, $40 for part time, $35 a month for just the pre-school program and $40 a month for just the pre-kindergarten program. There will be family discounts of 10 percent for enrollment of a second child in the same family and 15 per­ cent for a third child. Drop-in hourly rates will require a three-hour minimum and cost $2.25 per hour, per child. Before and after school care will be $1.25 an hour for children between the ages of 6 and 10 years and $1 per hour for those between the ages of 10 and 12. Not included in the above rates are one-time administra­ tion fees, which are non-refundable and paid only once. The fee for full-time care is $25 per family, $15 per family for part-time care or nurs­ ery school, and $10 per family for hourly or before and after school care. The center will accept fund­ ing available through the Department of Social Services to qualifying low-income families. The pre-kindergarten pro­ gram will be open to children ages 4 to 5 years. It willl run Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 to 11:30 a.m. The pre-school program will be open to children between the ages of 2 1/2 and 4 and run Thursdays and Fridays from 9 to 11 a.m. All children enrolled in fulltime day care automatically will be included in the pre­ school or pre-kindergarten program if they are of the cor­ rect ages. “This center is the coming together of several things,” said Karen Kirchhoff, president of the Maple Valley Want To Improve Your Home?

We had been asked several times if we did daycare.” “We feel that this is needed in the Maple Valley commu­ nity,” said program director Mary Chapman. “It will be open to anyone, not just Maple Valley residents.” The center plans an open house and ice cream social sometime in August before the grand opening to allow the public to see the classrooms, get information and to enroll children.

The Dempsey family in Vermontville stand with Tiina Harkonen, the Finnish girl they are hosting through a culture exchange summer program sponsored through the Lions Club. She will be in the area for six weeks. by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Finnish native Tiina Harkonen is enjoying her sixweek visit with the Dempsey family in Vermontville. The 17-year-old comes to the United States from her home village of Juuka, a town of about 7,000 people. She is here or a scholarship through the Juuka Lions Club and is being sponsored by the Vermontville Lions Club. Harkonen said that she wanted to become a foreign exchange visitor to get to know other cultures and to practice her English. “This is my first visit to the United States,” said Harkonen. “I like the people and the warm weather.” Harkonen’s host family is Karen and Bart Dempsey and their six children Terry (19), Faith (17), Jessica (13), Aaron (12), Joy (10) and Sarah (8). Her own family consists of her mother, who works in a bank and her three older broth­ ers. “It’s different being with a larger family,” said Harkonen. The main industries in Juuka include farming and soapstone statue making. The temperature there ranges between about 55 and 80 degrees. Harkonen is the first foreign exchange visitor that the Dempseys have hosted. “We had thought about do­ ing this in the past and decided to try it after talking to Bill Mason from the Vermontville Lions Club,” said Karen Dempsey. “We looked over a list of names, the students' interests and the countries that they were from that was available to choose from,” said Bart. “We picked Tiina from that list.” Harkonen says that besides English, she speaks Swedish and German and has traveled to Sweden. While here she has been to the Battle Creek Balloon Festival, Bear Lake and Ohio. The Dempseys plan to take her to Great America Amusement Park, the capitol in Lansing and the museum there, and to Chicago. Being host to a foreign ex­ change student is a fairly sim­ ple matter. The host family pays only a $20 administra­ tion fee to cover the necessary paperwork, plus provide room and board for their visitor. The foreign student’s family pays for things such as plane fare and spending money. “The No. 1 thing that we expect a host families to have is a willingness to be in­ volved and to treat the foreign exchange visitor as a member of their own family,” said Bill Mason, Vermontville Lions Club. “You don’t have to change your lifestyle or become a tour guide. These kids are here to exchange cultures and get the experience to live in the United States. Some families go all out, while others don’t.” Mason says that the Lions Club only handles the stu­ dents here for short-term vis­ its. Anyone can be host to a student, one doesn't have to be a Lions Club member to qualify. “We are expecting three more kids in the area this week,” said Mason. “A 17 year-old boy from Turkey, a 20 year-old man from Japan and a 19 year-old boy from Italy. I’m looking for host families for them right now.” All students who participate in this exchange program speak English and come from several different countries.

More than 40 girls and boys attended last week’s three-day Maple Valley basketball camp at the high school to learn how to become better players. The classes stressed game fundamentals, and construc­ tive criticism was used to of- fer the opportunity for players to improve their game. Roger Adams and Jerry Reese were in charge of the camp and they had help from several high school students who served as coaches. The camp normally is held each year for both girls and boys who want to learn to improve their game and have fun playing basketball.

Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 121 - No. 52 — Tuesday, July 27, 1993 Castleton Township completes construction on new building by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Castleton Township’s new hall building on Reed Street beside Carl’s Supermarket is nearly ready for business. The completion of the build­ ing brings a finish to a project that started nearly two years ago with a discussion on whether or not to sell the old township hall, which was Castleton Township Trustee Donald Langham sits at the township supervisor’s desk to show one of the offices at the new hall. Regular office hours will soon be available in the new building. Castleton Township trustee Donald Langham points up to the new Pyro­ Chemical dry powder fire extinguishing equipment that is installed in the record room of the new township hall. It will put out a fire without water and therefore the records would be less damaged in a fire. Harvest Festival-Muzzleloader Rendezvous set for Aug. 13-15 by Teresa Frith StqffWriter This year’s Harvest Festival and Muzzleloaders Rendezvous in Nashville is set for Aug. 13-15. The ninth annual Muzzleloaders Rendezvous will begin on Friday, Aug. 13, with the campgrounds Here is a scene from one of the campsites set up during a past Muzzleloaders Rendezvous that shows the cooking area of a primitive campsite.. ready for setup, starting at 8 a.m. The Rendezvous is spon­ sored by the Fork River Free Trappers and will feature two days of shooting contests. The canoe shoot and woods walk will start at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 14, right after the Harvest Fest parade and will last until 3 p.m. These two matches will continue the following day at the same times. The canoe shoot involves shooting at targets along the river from a canoe and during the woods walk, participants follow a trail with pop-up tar­ gets located along the route. The cost for participants is $7 a day or $12 for the week­ end. Ages 15 and under are free with a paid adult. Signup for both days will be between 9 a.m. and noon. Canoes will be provided. This year a muzzleloading pistol will be given as a prize to the shooter with the high­ est combined scores for both days. Rules for the matches in­ clude no slings and swivels, no peep sights, no inline ac­ tions and only open sights and patched round ball. Smooth bores are OK. See Rendezvous, Page 2 located at 98 Main St., next to Clay’s Diner. Part of the old building was found to be sinking due to the deterioration of debris from earlier buildings used as fill on the site prior to its con­ struction in 1977. It was sold to Clayton Chapman, owner of Clay’s Diner for $30,000 after it was decided to be too expensive to repair it. The Castleton Township board rented the building from Chapman for several weeks after the sale was finalized, then moved into the Fire Bam on Main Street until a new hall could be built. Last February, the board took bids for construction of a new hall on land purchased on Reed Street next to Carl’s Supermarket from Joseph and Sons, owners of the Carl’s Supermarket. Steve Augustine of AC The project had a proposed cost of $96,298.31 in March and construction began a few weeks later. The actual cost of the building ended up slightly below the accepted bid. AC Construction also is re­ sponsible for building the new Good Time Pizza restaurant, the addition to the Nashville Methodist Church and an addition built on to Nashville’s Putnam Library. The architect for the project was Timothy Spitzley of Lake Odessa. The new hall is a 40-by-60 foot wood frame, 2,640square-foot structure with sixinch walls, pre-engineered roof trusses and is on a cement slab. It was built with several energy saving options such as zone heating and electronic ballast fluorescent lighting. “The new hall was built to be energy efficient with money-saving features,” said trustee Donald Langham. “For instance, the zone heating will allow us to heat only the parts of the building being used at that time.” The electronic ballast fluorescent lighting is a new type of lighting that is now required in all new construction. “This type of lighting is better designed and gives brighter light for less money. It is designed to give 27 percent energy savings,” said Langham. The building has a large meeting room that will be used for things such as voting or other needs such as group meetings. It also has two ofSee Twp. hall completed, P. 4 Renovation project continues Nashville Council hears update on community building project by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Nashville Village Council members heard an update on a project to renovate and repair the Nashville’s Putnam Park Community Building. The federally funded Job Training Partnership Act project began last month and is providing summer jobs for 12 local youths ages 16-21. The young people do the work under the supervision of experienced adults and they get classroom time for reading and math enrichment classes. Community Education Director Tate Mix and project Supervisor Cary K. Phillips told council members how much work has been done so far and what is left to accomplish. The project was expected to include work on lighting and heating, painting and ceiling tile replacement, repair of brickwork, putting in barrier-free bathrooms and furnishing better exit iights and security measures. Some of the work accomplished include fixing and painting the roof, replacing broken windows, painting the building, replacing the eaves, building an erosion barrier in back of the tennis courts; cleaning, raking and mowing various areas in the park; and other general repairs. The building is still in need See Building project, Page 4 In This Issue... • Nashville senior citizens apartment project begins construction • Local children learn about Noah at Vacation Bible School • Nashville Boy Scouts attend summer camp • Storywriter featured at local story hour �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, July 27, 1993 — Page 2 RENDEZVOUS, An awards ceremony will be held at 4:30 p.m. on both days and one must be present to win.

HALL COMPLETED, from front page— flee areas for the use of the township supervisor and trustees, a small kitchenette with a sink, cabinets and a re­ frigerator, a large closet with a sink for mop-ups, men’s and ladies restrooms that are handicapped accessible and a records storage area. The records storage area is protected from fire by Pyro­ Chemical, a dry powder de­ signed to put out a fire, with­ out damaging the paper records like water would. The door to the room is also rated to withstand a fire for up to 11/2 hours. There is parking available both in front of and behind the building, with a special area for handicapped parking. The building is at ground level, and therefore handicapped accessible. “We have plans to blacktop the parking lots next year when more funds are avail­ able,” said Langham. “We are now in the process of planting grass and will soon have picnic tables set up under the trees for people to use.” The trustees also are plan­ ning to plant scrubs on the side of the building and will pay for them out of their own pockets, according to Lanham. The building also will be available for community use. Non-profit groups will be able to use it at no cost, but *e*us must sign an agreement to be responsible for any damages and to clean up the place after using it. Other groups can rent the building for a $60 charge and sign agreements to be respon­ sible for any damages and to clean up after using the build­ ing. If everything is satisfac­ tory, the group would get back $20 of the fee. “The people have paid to build this hall and should get a chance to use it,” said Langham. Anyone interested in using the hall should contact Junia Jarvie or call the hall at 852­ 9479. The building is awaiting a final inspection, but is ex­ pected to be open in the be­ ginning of August. Township Board members expect to hold their next meeting there, on Wednesday, Aug. 4.

Francis St. “I became a master plumber in 1985 and have 20 years of plumbing experience,” said Burt. “I have wondered how long it has been since Nashville had its own master plumber.” Burt’s Plumbing has no retail sales and offers only plumbing services. He operates out of his home and stores his plumbing materials in his barn. Those services include repairs, new and remodeling, and he fixes or replaces water pumps and tanks. He serves both Barry and Eaton counties. “I give free estimates and reasonable rates,” said Burt. “I don’t charge by the hour. I do all my work by a bid, whether the job is large or small.” Burt says that he can either look at a job beforehand or give someone a price estimate when he comes to the property. Burt, his wife Heidi and son, Brian moved to Nashville in 1988 from Diamondale. He previous worked as a plumber in the Lansing area. “I wanted to work on my own,” said Burt. “We came to Nashville because we really love this area.” Anyone who needs the services of Burt’s Plumbing should call him at 852-9117 or contact him at his home.

One of the three-day ses­ sion’s highlights was a play about Noah's Ark, put on by church and community mem­ bers.

The federally-funded Job Training Partnership Act project has been giving the build­ ing a facelift while at the same time providing summer jobs to at least 10 Barry Country youths ages 16-21. “The kids have really been working hard,” said Project Supervisor Cary K. Phillips, who is also a Maple Valley Community Education teacher. The project included work on lighting and heating problems, painting and ceiling tile replacement, repair and strengthening of damaged brick work, and furnishing better exit lights and security measures. The project originally was put together by representatives from the Michigan Mid-Counties Employment and Training Consortium, along with Omari Asifa, coordinator of the Summer Youth Corps; former Nashville Village President Raymond Hinkley; Barry County Commissioner Cary K. Phillips stands in front of the sign placed in front of the Community Building in Nashville in tribute to some of the people who have donated time, money or materials to help in the renovation project. Some of the young people working on the Putnam Park renovation and repair project are also getting classroom time for reading and math enrichment studies.

See Harvest Fest, Page 2 Nashville home moved to make way for M-79 by Teresa Frith Staff Writer A Nashville home on the corner of M-66 and M-79 was on its way to a new location Thursday as preparations are made for widening M-79 to add a right turn lane on that comer. The turning lane is being added by the construction division of the Michigan Department of Transportation to provide more room for large trucks and other vehicles to turn right onto M­ 66. The project is expected to be completed by sometime in November, according to Inez Warren, foreman for Hastings Maintenance Garage. The two-story house originally was bought by Pitsch of Grand Rapids and then sold to Martin Dawson of Nashville. Dawson was expected to put the house on property that he owned elsewhere in the village. A small crowd of village residents watched as Consumers Power crews worked to get power lines moved so that the house would fit as it was moved along M-79 and turned the comer at Fuller Street. Several trees along the area also are being moved or taken down to make way for the road widening project. Vermontville closer to burning ban rule By Teresa Frith Vermontville Village of­ ficials moved closer last week to acquiring a Solid Waste Alternative Grant from the Michigan Department of Na­ tional Resources. The village has been ten­ tatively approved for the pro­ posed $13,400 grant, pending appropriation of environmen­ tal funds from the state. The grant would help the village comply with Michigan’s Open Burning Act of 1993. The state law to ban lanfilling and prohibit open burning of leaves, grass clippings and brush takes place in September. By 1996, all open burning will be banned. The grant funds would be used to buy equipment to col­ lect debris at curbside, establish an approved compost site, and pay for brochures to help educate the public about the new law. In order to be eligible for the grant, the village must put into place a “no bum” or­ dinance and one to prohibit the disposal of yard clippings into landfills and establish penalties for violations. The council discussed possible wording of the new or­ dinances and a public hearing is scheduled for the Sept. 2 Village Council meeting to allow the public a chance to comment on the new laws. In other business last week; the council: • Announced that the village will participate in next year’s Mayor Exchange Day. They decided to try to do the exchange with Shepherd. • Heard an update on the upcoming construction of a senior citizens' apartment complex scheduled for con­ struction on the northeast cor­ ner of Third and Spring streets. The building is being built in Vermontville by James Lakin of Portland and is being financed through the Farmers* Home Administration. The 16-unit complex is scheduled to begin construc­ tion in early September. Ap­ plications for rental of the units will become available after construction starts. • Discussed a long list of ordinance violation problems within the village. • Voted to replace a broken window in the village hall at a cost of $98.74.

Tuesday, August 10. 1993 — Page 3 Flower pressing featured at first ‘Art in the Park About a dozen children gathered around picnic tables Wednesday in Vermontville's village park to learn the art of flower pressing at this year's first "Art in the Park" session. Cindy Krolik demonstrated how to press flowers by using the pages of an old phone book. "You should leave the flowers in the book for be­ tween four and six weeks so that they can dry out com­ pletely.” she told the children. The kids made bookmarks using dried flowers glued to cardboard strips. They then covered the cardboard with clear contact paper to pre- serve the bookmark. Sponsored by the Vermontville Historical Society, the classes are scheduled to run two more weeks on Wednesdays from 1 to 2 p.m. They are free of charge and open to children ages 6 and above. The children will learn about and make different types of arts and crafts each week. Today's session will be pa­ per embossing, and will be taught by Paula Cole of Charlotte. For more information on Art in the Park, call Mary Fisher at 726-0670. indy Krolik shows some of the types of flowers that can be dried and used for making anything from bookmarks to stationary during the first of a series of three Art in the Park arts and crafts lessons in Vermontville. lfs ^>2 Children worked with dried flowers and leaves Wednesday to make bookmarks during the first "Art in the Park" session in Vermontville.

Owner Robert Worgul reported the damages to the Eaton County Sheriffs office Thursday afternoon after finding the damage when he went to check on some of his crops. It was estimated that the destruction occured some time between 5 p.m. Wednesday and 11 a.m. Thursday. "Whoever or whatever did this had to be quick," said Worgul. "Each one of the hives weighs over 200 pounds and the bees would have swarmed out immediately after the first hive was knocked over." Deputy Sheriff Roger Rockafellow said that it is unlikely that a suspect will be Beekeeper Audley Tissue of Lansing and his wife work carefully to restack damaged bee hives at Caleb's Mill orchards in Vermontville after they were knocked over last week. An estimate of damages was not available at the time of the destruction. caught because the grassy area didn't allow for footprints or other evidence to be seen. It was unknown if the damage was caused by a person or an animal. Worgul said that a black bear had been sighted in nearby communties and that it was possible that it could have been the culprit. Professional beekeeper Audley Tissue of Lansing was called in to repair and reorganize the hives, but an estimate of damages is not known at this time. Friday the 13th superstition is widely spread by Teresa Frith Staff Writer This Friday is the 13th, a day that has a bad reputation of being an unlucky one in many cultures, including our own. This fear of the number 13 is wide spread all over the world and has an interesting background. In the United States it isn't uncommon for skyscrapers to skip to the 14th floor or airlines to omit the number 13 in their seat rows. In foreign countries such as France house numbers go from 12 to 12 1/2, then jump to 14, and in Italy lotteries refuse to use the number 13. The number 13 is consid­ ered especially unlucky at the dinner table. One reason stems back to an old fable in Norse mythology. Legend says that a banquet was held Get the New and Exciting look for Back to School at... Diana’s Place The Place To Go For...Professional Styling for the Whole Family Comer of M-66 and Thornapple Lake Road P.B.S. REALTY INC. MLS in the Norse city of Valhalla to which 12 gods had been in­ vited. But Loki, the spirit of strife and evil, crashed the party and killed Balder, one of the favorites of the gods. There were also 13 people at Christ's Last Supper, he and his 12 disciples. Since the event preceded Christ's cruci­ fixion and the fact that he was killed on a Friday, this dou­ bles the reason for some peo­ ple to become superstitious about Friday the 13th. Modern day insurance companies have added their own theories to the fear of the number 13. In statistical sur- veys done by some companies it was shown that of any group of 13 people, the odds say that one of them could be expected to be injured or die in the next year. While many of us may consider Friday the 13th un­ lucky, there are some people who consider it lucky instead. Perhaps it is because it is a way to be different and there­ fore unique. So if you are among the many people who feel abit strangely this Friday, take heart. You are probably not alone.

The Jaws of Life is a fourpart machine used to rescue car accident victims trapped in their vehicles. The Jaws is hydraulically powered and consists of a cutting tool, a spreader, a ramming device and the power pack. Before getting the Jaws of Life, the fire department relied on an RS-10 kit made up of two hand-powered hydraulic spreaders that were capable of spreading open four inches and six inches each. "The Jaws of Life spreader opens about 17 inches wide and can do the same job in less than one-third the time," said Bill Wilson from the Nashville Fire Department. "We have used the Jaws three times since we got it about a year and a half ago, and in at least one case I think it was a factor in saving a life." The demonstration will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 14, at the Fire Barn.

Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 122 - No. 3 — Tuesday, August 17, 1993 Maple Valley board discusses how state aid bills affect finances by Teresa Frith Staff Writer The Maple Valley school district could receive the state aid funding needed to meet this year’s budget re­ quirements if either of two funding bills under discus­ sion are approved in Lans­ ing. The 1993-94 budget ap­ proved in June included nearly $300,000 in proposed state aid funding that school officials were unsure of get­ ting at that time. The two school aid bills now under consideration in Lansing are House Bill 4836 (S-l) and the Senate K-12 Education Appropriation Bill. Under House Bill 4836 (S-l) Maple Valley would receive $195,936.29 in additional funding, which is a four percent increase over what was received in the 1992-93 school year. The bill establishes a guaranteed foundation grant for each student that pro­ vides $3,800 for the first 25 mills of levied taxes, $100 per student per mill for anything more than 25 mills in local taxes, restricts fund­ ing increases to 5 percent more than the current fiscal year and increases the num­ ber of districts which re­ ceive state aid, while reduc­ ing the number of out-of­ formula districts. The bad news is that it bases the new funding on last year's student count, which was less than the pro- jected 1,677 students en­ rolled K-12 at Maple Valley this year. The bill also only funds the adult education program at 80 percent and requires the schools to pay FICA at 25 percent of the prior year. Since this plan falls at least $100,000 short of the required $300,000 to bal­ ance this year's budget re­ quirements, some cuts would have to be made to make up the difference. The plan presented to the board suggested possible cuts totaling $103,932 to be made by a reduction in bus runs and not buying one new bus and by adding in a projected increase of $50,975 in the school's fund equity amount. The Senate K-12 Educa­ tion Appropriation Bill would raise Maple Valley's per pupil funding from last year's $3,864.66 to $4,057.89. This would allow them to receive an addi­ tional $322,114.41 which would more than cover the $300,000 needed to meet budget requirements. Both bills are expected to be further discussed and voted on after the Legisla­ ture goes back into session today. Senate Bill 1 was also discussed. This bill will eliminate operating taxes for local and intermediate school districts effective with the 1994 calendar year and the school district 1995 fiscal year. It would cut property taxes overall by over seven billion dollars. Circuit breaker savings would be about $800 mil­ lion. Because the state is only $3.8 billion below the con­ stitutional revenue limit of Article 9, section 26, the maximum revenue that can be replaced by the state is about $3 billion, plus the additional revenue that would be generated by the circuit breaker funds. While no definite plans have been made as to how to replace the lost funds, several ideas have been suggested. Some of the op­ tions being discussed in Lansing include a proposed two percent personal in­ come tax, sales taxes on most services, a 25-cent in­ crease in cigarette taxes and other tobacco products, elimination of other state tax expenditures, a 1.5 percent single business tax or a statewide industrial/commercial property tax at 25 mills. Maple Valley teachers and support staff are still without a contract for this school year and are working under an extended version of the previous year's con­ tract. Negotiations have re­ sumed and will continue this week, according to Superin­ tendent Dr. Ozzie Parks. "We are moving alone with the negotiations," said Parks. "Both sides have ex­ pressed an interest in com­ pleting negotiations before Vermontville honors winning Maple Valley Band with signs Vermontville recently put up signs proclaiming the village as the home of the 1993 winning band in a contest held last year in Tennessee. Last year's band senior members (from left) Samantha Hughes, Marcie Reid and Susan Simpson stand at the sign with this year's flag captain Heather Phillipp, drum major Brandy Wawiernia and band director Dennis Vanderoef. the start of school. We hope that a state aid bill will be approved by then and we will know our financial situ­ ation better." In other business, the board: • Announced that the start of school will be on Aug. 31 with the elementary classes starting at 8:10 a.m. and the Jr-Sr High classes starting at 8:20 a.m. • Approved a motion by board member Joe Briggs to require prior board approval of any school expenditure See School Board, Page 2 Nashville Council votes to keep monthly water billing by Teresa Frith Staff Writer After several weeks of discussion and input from village residents, the Nashville Village Council voted Thursday to maintain monthly water bills instead of changing to a quarterly billing schedule. The council heard comments from village residents during a public hearing on the issue. The majority of the citizen response to the suggested quarterly billing was negative. Residents were concerned with the inability of some Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School to open Aug. 25-26 Class schedules and lockers will be issued to Maple Valley students according to the following schedule: Grades 7-8, Wednesday, Aug. 25, 8:30-11:30 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. Grades 9-12, Thursday, Aug. 26, 8:30-11:30 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. Students who need to register at Maple Valley for the 1993-94 school year may do so anytime between the hours of 8-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. in the high school office. Students not living with parents must show proof of guardianship or emancipation. All students must have pro­ of of immunizations. people to budget their money to cover the proposed change. Council members also expressed concern over the possibility of delinquent bills caused by the change in policy. As one citizen put it, "When the bill comes in the mail it gives people a reminder that it is due. If they don't get that bill in the mail, they might not think • about saving the money to pay it all at once later on." The request would have saved the village slightly more than $1,000 per year in postage and printing costs. Since the measure to change the billing time was defeated, the council discussed the option of raising rates some time in the future. In other business, council: the • Heard the yearly village audit explained by Jack Walker of Walker and Fluke, Certified Public Accountants in Hastings. Walker suggested that the village work to amend the budget to reflect where money was coming from when new funds, not originally listed as expenditures, were made and to continue to work on Improving village payroll accounts transactions by improving on their present computer program used for those actions. • Voted to drop out of the C-Tec Cable Consortium due to it costing the village more money than originally expected. • Discussed a further clean-up and renovation of the village park beside the village offices. The Maple Valley Jaycees recently built flower boxes, planted bushes and did a general clean-up of the area. Council members suggested the possibility of removing the fountain in the park and replacing it with a gazebo or band stand. The council will contact the Jaycees to see it they wish to continue what they started in the park. • Voted to spend $1,578 plus labor costs to resurface and re-paint the tennis courts at Putnam Park. • Voted to have Michigan Municipal League representative Don Summerfeld come to the next council meeting to discuss revising and See Council votes, Page 11 In This Issue... • MV teacher’s president attends school financing clinic • Local band members practice skills at band camp • St. Jude ‘Bike-a-thon’ planned Sept. 25 • 3-on-3 basketball tourney held locally �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, August 17, 1993 — Page 2 M. V. teachers’ president attends Lansing clinic on school finance JSharldt Sours, president of the Maple Valley Education Association, along with over 300 Michigan Education Association (MEA) members and staff from across the state, met in Lansing on August 10-11 to identify the necessary elements of any school finance reform plan. The participants represented every region and type of school district in the In a collaborative decision­ making process, they developed several recommen­ dations which will be made to a special MEA Board meeting and then to a statewide meeting of over 2,500 MEA leaders and staff. “Any decisions this group made truly represent every segment of our membership and will enhance the organiza­ tional unity,” stated Julius A. Maddox, President of the 125,000-member MEA. The group recommended the strengthening of local con­ trol in every school building and called for the state to set standards for quality which would ensure every student having the opportunity to meet his/her potential. Although no specific taxa­ tion plan was proposed, the group did recommend that the solution should be a legislative rather than a ballot issue plan. They further recommended that the solution should ad­ dress the need to provide good funding for every public school student in the state of Michigan. The participants insisted that any plan must only deal with school finance and stu­ dent education. “I’m very encouraged that our organization will advance a plan that includes input from a broad base of our member­ ship,” said Ms. Sours. “I am happy to be part of the process.” 1 HOMETOWNS over $1,000. He said that he thought this was necessary due to the critical nature of the school's fiscal situation for this year, and due to the fact that the board might have to consider personnel layoffs to balance the bud­ get until the state aid situa­ tion is known and a budget developed. • Accepted the resigna­ tions of Maplewood Ele­ mentary first grade teacher Kelly Schoonbeck, part­ time Fuller Elementary aide Theresa Woodman and Jr.Sr. high school/athletic di­ rector William Farnsworth, who has taken a job in his home town of Marysville. An interview committee made up of board members Joe Briggs, Ted Spoelstra, administrators Ozzie Parks, Larry Lentz and two teach­ ers (to be announced later) assist in selecting a new vice-principal/athletic direc­ tor.

It's time to get the children ready forschool, and there's more to it than just buying their clothes and having their eyes examined. Returning to the rigid atmosphere ofthe classroom after three months ofunbridled fun and games can be a difficult adjust­ ment for them to make, so it's up to the parents, not the school, to remind them of such things as discipline and respect for authority. The parents must also warn the children to beware of all the evils to which they may be subjected: drugs, gang activities, crime and strangers offering them rides. With the aid of the Sunday school at the House of Worship, the real values they will learn will ensure their school year will be a safe, happy, harmonious and trulyproductive educational experience. Let they child’! tint lenon be obedience, and the second be what thou wilt. — Beniamin Franklin GOODTIME PIZZA VERMONTVILLE BIBLE CHURCH 203 N. State, Nashville 250 N. Main, Vermontville Sun.

(N-192) St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital announced that Elsie Wolever has agreed to be the coordinator of the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Bike-a-Thon in Nashville and Vermontville on September 25. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was found­ ed by entertainer, Danny Thomas. The institution open­ ed its doors to the public in 1962 to combat catastrophic diseases which afflict our children. St. Jude Hospital is non-sectar i an , nondiscriminatory, and covers all costs of care beyond those reimbursed by insurance. At St. Jude, scientists and physicians are working sideby-side seeking not only a bet­ ter means of treatment, but also the causes, cures, and prevention of these terrible killers. All findings and informa­ tion gained at the Hospital are shared freely with doctors and hospitals all over the world. Thanks to St. Jude Hospital, children who have leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, sickle-cell anemia, and other child­ killing diseases now have a better chance to live. The Bike-a-Thon program this year is dedicated to seven­ year-old Shauna Richters. Shauna was diagnosed with Wilms’ tumor, a malignant growth on her left kidney, in December 1990. Surgery suc­ cessfully removed the tumor, and Shauna returns to St. Jude Hospital every six months for check-ups. She celebrated her last chemotherapy treatment with a present she had eagerly looked forward to: a new bike. Shauna is a living exam­ ple of the successful research, patient care, and educational programs made possible by the Bike-a-Thon campaign at this internationally recognized hospital. In Michigan, 106 children and their families have gone to St. Jude Hospital and received total medical care for a catastrophic illness. Thousands of others have benefitted from the research findings that have developed better and more successful treatment methods. “We sincerely appreciate the conem that Elsie Wolever has for our work to help children like Ryan, and we hope the citizens of Nashville and Vermontville will support the Bike-a-Thon on September 25 to help provide the funds needed to preserve the world’s greatest asset... our children,” said a spokesperson.

Harvest Festival, Muzzleloaders bring fun, entertainment to town Maple Valley Schools to begin classes Tuesday, August 31 by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Summer vacation is nearly over for Maple Valley school students, as all schools in the district are set to open for classes on Tuesday, Aug. 31. Classroom lists are posted at the elementary schools to allow students and parents to know which teachers they will have for this school year. Adminstrators reported for work last week and teachers have been getting their rooms ready for students. Anyone who needs any information about registration, bus schedules or other things should call the appropriate school or the bus garage. Firemen from the surrounding areas competed in a waterball contest during the Harvest Festival. The object of the game was to move a ball suspended on wires to the other side using only a stream of water from the fire hoses. by Teresa Frith Kellogg school janitor Jerry Aldrich strips and waxes the hallways as part of the school’s preparation for classes to start Aug. 31. I This sign proclaims the end of the summer, as schools in the Maple Valley district are scheduled to open next week. Staff Writer For the first time in the last few years, sunny skies and warm weather was a part of Nashville's annual Harvest Festival and Muzzleloaders Rendezvous last weekend (Aug. 13-15). This year's Harvest Festival was under the direction of Mary Ohler and it almost didn't happen due to fears of liability problems. Instead of being sponsored entirely by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, the fest was bro­ ken into several events that were sponsored by various groups such as the VFW, Fire Department, Lions Club and various individuals. The three-day weekend brought something for every­ one. The Muzzleloaders set up their camps Friday and pre­ pared for two days of shooting contests. The Rendezvous is put together by the Fork River Free Trappers and it offers a chance to see history being re-created. Men, women and children wore special costumes and re­ created a time in our nation's history when French trappers would meet alongside rivers and streams throughout the country to exchange goods, share stories and compete in shooting events. A canoe shoot and woods walk shoot took place both Saturday and Sunday. Prizes were given to the high scoring shooters.

The three are Josh Cerny, Ben Mudry and Rudy Othmer. There is a series of six rankings that range from Tenderfoot to Eagle Scout. In order to advance to each one, a scout must complete a num­ ber of accomplishments and be judged by a board of re­ view. An Eagle Scout must meet the following requirements: • Be active in the troop and patrol for at least six months as a Life Scout. • Show scout spirit. •J • Earn a total of 21 merit badges from a required list. • Serve at least six months in a position of responsibility within the troop. • Plan, develop and give leadership to others in a ser­ vice project helpful to any re­ ligious institution, school or community. . :■ After completing these re­ quirements, the scout must go before a board of review to be evaluated. If the board deter­ mines that he has completed all the necessary steps, he is elevated to Eagle Scout. Othmer has completed all Reatha A.

Mudry has been helping to do repair work and painting at the Nashville Putnam Library for his project. This is the fi­ nal requirement he needs to complete before going before the board of review.

The Nashville United Methodist Church Youth Fellowship youth group recently went on its annual work mission July 18-24 at Baldwin, Mich. The work mission was done in conjunction with Habitat $ MAPLEVALLEY Real Estate For Humanity, a national organization designed to help the needy by constructing low-cost housing. Baldwin is located in Lake County, the poorest county in Michigan. While there, the group ham­ mered, sawed, lifted, shoveled and cleaned to help with the project. The group erected trusses, put on plywood sheeting, put on tar paper, in­ stalled a wind barrier, shovel­ ed garbage, and leveled in­ terior walls during the four days they spent working on the home. The home was be­ ing built for a lady who was raising her two granddaughters. However, the trip was not all work, as the group had the opportunity to go to such places as Ludington and Pleasure Island. The group’s trip was made possible by the help of many, especially the members and friends of the Methodist church. — A THE MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE 227 N.

"Pep" Snyder, a former Nashville resident, celebrated his 100th birthday in June at a party hosted by his friends and fellow golfers at the Fairway Village Golf Club in Largo, Fla., where he now lives. Snyder is friends with Bill and Sonya Kjergaard, known for their ownership of the old IGA Supermarket that used to be located on Main Street in Nashville. The Kjergaards also moved to Florida and were present at Snyder's birthday party. Snyder, a World War I vet­ eran, lived in Nashville for more than 20 years, moving here from Frankfort in the 1950s after retiring from Consumers Powers Company. He was a member of the Frankfort baseball team be­ tween 1920 and sometime in the 1940s. Snyder leads an active life that still includes deer hunting in the Upper Peninsula in Hubert, fishing in the Great Lakes and golfing in Florida. He still returns to Nashville once a year with the Kjergaards to visit old friends such as Laura McIntyre, who lives across from the Mulberry Fore Golf Course in Nashville. "Pep has such a great sense of humor," said McIntyre. "He loves funny stories and is good with people. That’s why everyone likes him." McIntyre said that Rose Smith, a good friend of Snyder's, used to live next door to her. Smith, who is Sonya Kjergaard's mother, now lives in Largo and was present at Snyder's birthday party. Snyder moved to Florida in 1978 with his wife, Margaret, and lived next door to Smith and her husband, Al.

Rod McMillon of Vermontville says that he thought about bicycling across the United States for several years before the trip became a reality. His dream to begin the trek was nearly destroyed along with his life eight years ago when he was injured in a swimming pool diving accident. In July of 1985 McMillon was at a relative's swimming pool and decided to dive through an inner tube floating in the water. The dive went wrong and he ended up at the bottom of the pool with a bro­ ken neck. He had a partially fractured dislocation of the cervical spine, pushing the C3 vertebra and causing com­ pression of the spinal cord. "The doctors have consid­ ered it a miracle that I can now walk," said McMillon. "I just worked hard and did what I had to do." Rich Vessechia of Nashville came into the picture about a year ago after the two men starting riding bikes together on Sunday afternoons. "Rod started talking to me about the trip he had planned and I got interested and de­ cided I wanted to be a part of it," said Vessechia. "We made the final decision to go on the trip about one year ago." The bikes have already been shipped to Oxnard, Calif., where the trek will begin. McMillon and Vessechia are set to fly to Oxnard Friday, Aug. 27. "Our bikes should be wait­ ing for us at a friend's house," |7 m-c Auto Repair j h and Towing 24-Hour Wrecker Service AAA Authorized Mike Visger • 852-1649 CLIP-N-SAVE )° said Vessechia. "We will put them together and check ev­ erything out on Saturday and expect to leave early Sunday morning on the trip." The two expect to travel at least 100 miles a day and will cover more than 3,000 miles by the time they reach the east coast. Their bikes will carry about 100 lbs. of bike repair equipment and supplies, clothes and camping gear. "We won't be carrying much food, except for emer­ gencies," said McMillon. "We plan to stop and eat at restau­ rants or buy food along the way. We will be carrying several bottles of water." The two say that they are both very excited to be going and are anxious to get started. "I wish we were going to­ day," said McMillon. "Our families are excited too." Both men say that their families are very supportive of the trek. McMillon is married to Corrine and they have two children, Nicole, 8 and Keeley, 4. Vessechia's wife, Cathy, is a chaplain at Pennock Hospital in Hastings. The trip is being dedicated to the hospital through donations being collected for Pennock's emergency fund. All funds collected will go to purchase new equipment for the hospital. Vessechia and McMillon will use their own money to finance the trip.

I can’t tell you what it means to me to see people willing to help, willing to be a part of a community event like the Harvest Festival. It’s what makes it a success and a fun time for everyone.

Mary Ohler Nashville "The only major highway we plan to ride on will be Route 40 in Arizona because there is no other way for us to go there," said Vessechia. "We already know that the bikes will be allowed on the route." The only other problem they have foreseen is wondering how much difficulty they will have finding a bridge over the Mississippi River due to the recent flooding in that area. "We plan on taking lots of pictures," said Vessechia.

Jennifer Robotham of Nashville stand with some of the natives of Papua, New Guinea, that she got to know on a missionary trip last summer. by Teresa Frith ?$ R R* Stak S**"tak 5S Staff Writer Last summer when most of us were probably enjoying the comforts of air conditioning, shopping malls and trips to McDonald's, Jennifer Robotham of Nashville was learning first hand about the people of Papua, New Guinea. Robotham, a 1989 graduate of Maple Valley High School, traveled to New Guinea with a group of people from the New Tribes Missions. She discovered the organization through her church, the Vermontville Bible Church. "I am considering becoming a missionary and wanted to learn about what one did before making up my mind," said Robotham. She spent six weeks living with a missionary group in a small village in Papau. About 50 people went on the trip be- sides Robotham. "It was a beautiful area in the mountains," she said. "I enjoyed meeting the people and learning from them." Robotham said that one of the most important things she learned was not to take her re­ ligion for granted. "We are lucky here in America because we have a Bible that we can read. Everyone should have that," she said. Robotham says that she learned much about the cul­ ture of the people of New Guinea and picked up some of their language, which is pid­ gin English. Some of the mis­ sionaries she stayed with were permanently stationed in the area. "The people were very friendly," she said. "I enjoyed traveling there." Institute in Jackson, then one year of missionary training and finally one year of a lan­ guage school. She already has a bachelor's degree in material science from Michigan State University, which was earned in 1992. "I enjoy engineering," she said. "I plan to decide between going on to grad school or going through the training required for being a missionary. I am also interested in linguistics." Robotham currently lives in Nashville with her family and works at Flexfab in Hastings. She suggested that those in­ terested in missionary work first should talk to the pastor at their church to get more in­ formation. Robotham added, "The most important thing is for me to know where God wants me to be. It's easy to romanticize missionary work, but if you are there for the right reason then you'll make it." Robotham still has a long way to go if she decides to fulfill her dream of becoming a full-time missionary.

Sixteen students from the Eaton Intermediate School District participated in the free one-week session of therapeutic and recreational horseback riding provided by ESRVA. The riding classes took place behind the Eaton Intermediate/Meadowview School, 1790 East Packard Highway in Charlotte. ESRVA is seeking volunteers to help with the fall riding session, which is scheduled for Tuesdays, Sept. 14 through Nov. 2, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Volunteers mey come for all or part of the day. Volunteers are desparately needed to help with the free child care provided for those volunteers with small children. Horseback riding for the handicapped originated in the 1950s in Europe and has been growing and gaining in popularity since that time. For the physically handicapped in­ dividual, riding a horse strengthens the trunk muscles. It improves balance. It has been shown that the up and down, side to side, back and forth movement of a horse, transmitted through the rider’s pelvis simulates the movement of the human walk. Riding the horse for the men­ tally handicapped provides in­ creased concentration and practice in following directions. For both groups of han­ dicapped individuals, riding provides a time to socialize with peers and volunteers, in­ crease self esteem and have fun. The ESRVA program is formed entirely by volunteers except for the instructor, who 15 certified to teach horseback riding for the handicapped through 4-H.

A child in Nashville re­ cently swallowed perfume and her mother tried to call a Poison Control Center number listed in the local phone book. Instead of receiving help, what she heard was a recording stating that due to budget cuts they no longer were able to service this area. Unsure of what to do next, she tried to call one of the lo­ cal doctors, only to discover that he was on vacation and therefore unavailable. Finally, she took the child to Pennock Hospital Emergency room, where the child was treated. This time everything worked out and the child survived. However, if the situation would have been more serious, things could have turned out entirely different. "In any emergency you should always dial 911 first," said Barry County Central di­ rector Charlie Nystrom. "An emergency may mean differ­ ent things to different people and we are there to help." Nystrom added, "We have a speed dial that gives us a di­ rect line to Poison Control. If the woman would have called 911, we would have estab­ lished a three-way conversa- tion between her, us and the Poison Control Center." After an assessment of the problem was made, 911 per­ sonnel also could have dis­ patched local ambulance ser­ vices, if necessary. "We can put someone in contact with any type of emergency services neces­ sary," said Nystrom. Vermontville residents re­ ceive the same service from the Eaton County Central 911 office, who would handle emergency services in their area. "The 911 service is so much faster than trying to contact someone yourself," said Nystrom. "We encourage everyone to use it in an emergency situation. Sue Rose, one of the Barry County E911 Dispatch telecommunicators, is ready for action at her console. If an emergency call comes through she can patch the caller into a conversation with the appropriate people or office needed to handle the situation. Another M.V. strike? by Teresa Frith Staff Writer The Maple Valley school district faces a possible strike by teachers and support per­ sonnel because of lack of a new contract. Negotiating teams for the Michigan Education Associa­ tion and the Maple Valley Board of Education met Tues­ day in Lansing to discuss con­ tract terms for the 1993-94 academic year. The employees’ contracts expired June 30 and teachers and support personnel have been working under an exten­ sion of the old pact. A one-year contract is being discussed. A few minor agreements on contract language changes were reached Tuesday, accor­ ding to the Eaton County Education Association, but no significant progress was reported on wage settlements. The MEA reportedly of­ fered the board’s bargaining team a wage settlement based on a formula that would allow for a zero percent increase if the district’s revenues did not increase from last year. “A raise in salaries would be related to a raise in revenues and the percentage of the budget that spent on salaries last year,” said Karen Sherwood, MEA Uniserv director. “If 50 percent of last year’s budget was spent on salaries, then the raise would be based on 50 percent of the new budget’s monies being spent on salaries this year. If << There were no negotiating sessions held during the summer because both parties wanted to wait until the state aid situation was known. The board would still like to know that first. the district received no new money, then the teachers would get no pay increase.” The school board’s negotiating team members turned down the proposal and ended the bargaining session, saying they preferred to wait until the state aid situation was known. “The board wants to negotiate based on a known, not on a possibility,” said Maple Valley Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks. “We hope to know the state aid situation by early September.” Parks added that the propos­ ed formula didn’t include step increases, which would be on top of any raise in salaries. One important issue being discussed by support staff employees is changes in health insurance coverage. O n 1 y t h e custodial/maintenenance employees and the four most senior employees from the 34-member bargaining team are covered by health in­ surance provided by the district. A female secretary and female bus driver who work all 12 months of the year are not covered. The support personnel’s negotiating team said that this year’s insurance rates would allow the district to cover an additional person with no in­ crease in cost from the 1992-93 year. However, it was reported that teachers’ coverage costs have gone up at the same time. Some area residents have expressed concern about the fact there were no bargaining sessions held over the summer months. “There were no negotiating sessions held during the sum­ mer because both parties wanted to wait until the state aid situation was known,” Parks said. “The board would still like to know that first.” Teachers and support staff last fall went on strike for eight days before agreement on new one-year contracts finally was reached. The See Strike possible?, Page 2 C-Tec Cable makes changes in services, channel lineup locally by Teresa Frith Staff Writer C-Tec Cable Systems is making changes in its channel lineup and the way it charges for services in Nashville, starting next month. C-Tec previously offered customers one level of basic service consisting of 26 chan­ nels for $21.95. This lineup included local, network and satellite programming. Starting on Sept. 1, how­ ever, a basic level made up of 15 local and network channels wilj be offered for $14.50 per month. Channels to be in­ cluded in this service are: WSYM-47, WWMT-3, WLNS-6, WTBS-Atlanta, WOOD-8, QVC Home Shopping, WOTV-41, WXMI-17, WKAR-PBS, CSpan, WILX-10, WLLA-IND, WGN-Chicago, WTLJ-TBN and a community information channel. For those who still want the other satellite programming originally offered in the $21.95 package, a premium customer choice package is offered for an additional $7.45 per month. Channels to be included will be: CNN, Network, Nashville PASS/Country Music, TNT, Nickelodeon, The Family Channel, The Discovery Channel, USA, Lifetime, MTV and ESPN. Added together, the price is the same as the previous package and customers who decide to keep their present level of service will see no difference in their monthly bills. However, customers now may purchase individual stations from the premium customer choice package at $2 each if they do not wish the entire package. Premium channels such as HBO and Disney will remain available at the same rates as before.

Two provisions of it called continued from front page "must carry" and "retransmis­ sion consent” affect cable companies across the United States. Under these two new provisions, companies have been negotiating with broad­ cast stations for permission to carry their signals. Under the "must carry," the station is guaranteed a chan­ nel position and may request carriage on a specific channel. Under "retransmission con­ sent" rules, a station may withhold its broadcast signal from a cable operator if an agreement can't be reached concerning compensation. Under these rules, any money paid to the broadcast station for permission to carry their signal must be absorbed by the cable company the first year, and can be passed on to customers in the second and third year.

MEA President Julius Maddox is reviewing the investigation report and will determine whether the situation merits a work stoppage. The MEA said that the Maple Valley district has a general fund equity of more than $700,000, about 11 percent of its operating budget. The MEA contended that keeping the fund equity “solid" has caused salaries to dip to the point that new teachers are unwilling to come to Maple Valley and work at such rates. Parks said that though the equity fund starts the school year with about $700,000, on­ ly about $300,000 will be available in June of next year, according to projections in the 1993-94 budget.

In a recent survey of 39 school districts in the region, done by the Lansing State Journal, Maple Valley ranked 38th in starting teachers’ salaries. Ashley’s teachers receive about $100 less. The highest salaried district, Howell, pays more than $9,000 more annually. Maple Valley teachers have a starting annual salary of $20,810. Efforts around the state are lagging in signing teachers’ contracts. Only about 35 percent of the districts with contracts expired have reached tentative agreements, according to a report from the Michigan Department of Education. The board’s chief negotiator, Tom McGrail of the Michigan Association of School Boards, said, “It’s a waiting game. As soon as the state situation is known, we are willing to start the negotiations up again. We gave that to the teachers and support staff in writing."

UH Eaton County Commissioners are considering adop adop-­ ting a solid waste ordinance that would regulate the waste hauling services provided to all Eaton County households and businesses. The ordinance will require all waste haulers collecting waste in Eaton County to be licensed. To receive a license a waste hauler must meet these minimum requirements: • Provide residents and businesses an opportunity to recycle. • Offer a volume-base fee system. • Collect a county recycl­ ing surcharge. • Meet all applicable federal, state, county and local laws, statues, rules and regulations pertaining to the collection, transportation, delivery and disposal of solid waste. Through Michigan Law (Public Act 641), Eaton County developed a solid waste management plan (up­ dated March, 1990) to protect and promote the public health, safety, and welfare of its citizens and environment by regulating the collection, transportation, delivery and disposal of solid waste. Eaton County’s plan calls for a con­ tinued role in education and policy to increase resource recovery efforts (waste reduc­ tion, product reuse, and material recycling) so that the volume of solid waste produc­ ed in Eaton County is reduced. The Plan sets goals of 25 percent reduction in the solid waste stream by 1995; in- creasing to a 50 percent diversion rate by the year 2000. By providing citizens and business with an opportunity to recycle and requiring haulers to offer a volume-base fee system (pay per bag), the volume of solid waste will be reduced and the diversion goals satisfied. Collecting the county sur­ charge will allow the Depart­ ment of Resource Recovery to develop county-wide pro­ grams such as household hazardous waste collections, business waste audits, county composting projects, battery and special waste (appliances, tires, telephone book, etc.) collections, waste reduction education programs, etc. A large portion of the funds will be allocated directly to municipalities for support of local waste reduction services. During November and December this year, waste haulers will apply for a haul­ ing license. If the basic re­ quirements are met and the licensing fee paid, the hauler will be issued a license to col­ lect Eaton County’s solid waste. The licensing system would become effective Jan. 1, 1994. Any waste hauler collecting solid waste without a license, after this date, will face misdemeanor charges. The licensed waste hauler would be required to collect the Eaton County recycling surcharge from residential and commercial accounts. The surcharge will be seen as a separate line item on each customer’s bill. Each residen­ tial account will be charged 60 cents per month. If a residen- tial customer selects the “payper-bag” service, $3.60 will be collected on a semi-annual basis. Commercial accounts will have a 30-cent per con­ tainer (loose) cubic yard and a 90-cent per container (com­ pact) cubic yard or a max­ imum of $20 per month assessed to their waste collec­ tion bill. Those who haul garbage as a one-time service for themselves, neighbors, fami­ ly, or friends will be exempt from the hauler licensing re­ quirements. Persons who only transport recyclables only (not including household garbage as defined by the Eaton Coun­ ty Solid Waste Ordinance) will not be required to obtain a license. Copies of the proposed Eaton County solid waste or­ dinance can be found at every village, city and township hall and local library in the coun­ ty. Additional copies are available at the Department of Resource Recovery at the Eaton County MSU Extension offices. The public is invited and en­ couraged to attend the Public Works and Planning Commit­ tee meeting scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 13, at 8:30 a.m. in the Board of Commis­ sioners meeting room located in the new courthouse in Charlotte. The public may present their questions and concerns at this time.

Seventeen members were present for the 50th reunion. Two former faculty members were on hand to revive memories of the past. The majority of the Class of '43 still live in the Maple Valley area and have seen their children and grandchil­ dren attend school here. Two of the alumni traveled from opposite ends of the country in order to mark the occasion with their class­ mates. Norma (Lindsay) Graham arrived from Arizona, with June (Graham) Martin making the trek from Florida. Two former faculty mem­ bers joined their students in the "new" portion of their old high school. Once again, they roamed the halls of their alma mater, walking up the steps to what used to be their class­ rooms. A handful of the visi­ tors gathered in their old sev­ enth-grade classroom, now home to Miss Hansen's sixth­ grade students. Tales of "how things used to be" were swapped. One of the alumni pointed out that there used to be a curtain across the sky­ light. Another said, "This classroom is as hot today as I remember it when I was at my desk."

Kenneth Meade, president; Bob Cole, vice president; Betty (McClelland) Woods, secretary; and Eunice (Higdon) Priddy, treasurer. were hosts for the 50th re­ union. According to Meade: "There were originally 30 members in our class. Only 28 of us graduated, as two boys were drafted. Today there are 27 surviving members." The Class of '43 holds a unique place in Nashville High School history. It is the only senior class to graduate from either Nashville High School, Nashville W.K. Kellogg High School or Maple Valley High School since 1930 that did not have a senior trip. Meade said, "It may have had something to do with a hot dog roast out at High Bank Park. Somehow, one of the outhouses burned down." Time has taken its toll on these graduates of Nashville High School in the form of stiffjoints, receding hairlines and expanding waistlines. However, the spirit of the Class of 1943 is still very much alive and well. Letterheads Business Cards Envelopes Brochures Wedding Invitations MORE Quality Printing at Affordable Prices!

The pigs you delivered, you were always so strong, And you stayed with those babies some­ times all night long. Your first brand new bike you got at age eight, And you’ve kept it nice to this very date. Our Halloween costumes and all of that fun, times at the fair and the ribbons you won. The year you ended up with Benja­ min’s pig And the trophy you won, you said really was his. That was the act of a man, not a boy anymore, And at gradua­ tion you walked through the adult door. How proud we all were, your whole family, Graduating with honors and a goal you could see. It seems such a waste, and I don’t understand. I’m angry and hurt, and I’ll miss you young man, But, Jesse if a man’s wealth can be measured by his number of friends, Then you, my son, are a truly rich man. How can we say this final goodbye, With lumps in our throats and tears in our eyes? We can only guess at the “what would have beens,” And take comfort now in family and friends. We- love you, my baby, my handsome young man. Me, dad, your brothers, the whole family clan. You were the kind of boy everyone wants for a son, And by luck of the draw, you were our number one. I’ll keep your beautiful smile with me in my heart, Maybe it’ll help mend where it’s been tom apart, And Jesse, even though, I just can’t understand, I thank God that you were our handsome young man. Jesse_________ My baby, my first bom, my handsome young man. The hourglass is empty, there is no more sand. I cannot express the pain in my heart, But we’ll always keep loving you while we’re apart It’s hard not to think of the “what would have beens”, for someone so young with a whole lifetime ahead. College, a career, maybe a wife and some kids, with so much potential, Oh what would have bten? We’ll take comfort and pride in the time that we had, Jacob, Benjamin, Andrew, me and your dad. We’ll remember the things that bring joy to our hearts, The walks in the woods, your musi­ cal art. < ; '! Maple Valley Athletic Boosters!; BINGO i| < ! MAPLE VALLEY H.S.

(VL-191) Library aide Lee Chandler is pictured behind the desk. ed it using only hand tools that would have been available in the era that the library building was erected. Though Priddy is well known for his wood carving expertise, this is the first sign he has constructed. The white sign with green lettering reflects the Italianate architec­ ture style of the building and features scroll work and an open book, as well as letters arid numbers that have all been hand carved without benefit of commercial templates. Deidra Bryans, library director, hopes eventually to have a decorative area of stones and flowers under the sign. She also is planning to replace the existing wooden hand rail next to the lawn steps with a wrought iron railing. The next change greeting visitors as they approach the library building is the new coat of paint covering the shutters, posts and trim on the front porch, thanks to Ben Mudry and his crew of energetic workers. Mudry, who has been in Boy Scouts for six years, needed a com­ munity service project to help meet the requirements for his Eagle Scout merit badge, and the library director was look­ ing for someone to help with redecorating the library. Bryans contacted Ben and he agreed to help with the task if the scout board of directors approved it. Mudry’s first step was to obtain all the details of the work needed and then write a proposal to submit to his board of directors. The pro­ ject originally only included moving books and shelves in­ side the library to accom­ modate the interior redecorating and to scrape off the old paint from the shut­ ters, porch trim and posts. The project was not extensive enough, so Mudry volunteered to do the re­ painting as well. Bryans, who said she knew that Mudry was conscientous and would perform satisfac­ tory work, willingly agreed to have him extend the project. The scout board accepted that proposal, and Mudry and his crew began working. The scout estimated that the project would take at least 200 Continued on'next page— Craft Wonders Crafters Mall (some in/ andto^oar-/teartK content* 1577 Capital Ave ME, Tue - Sat 11 to 7 Battle Creek Tucked into the Capital Square Shopping Center next to Moonrakers Sun 12 to 6 969-0986 The Nashville Fire Depart­ ment would like to thank all the people who supported the pancake breakfast and came to see the “jaws of life” demonstration.

From previous page— hours of work, and he is fin­ ding that the estimate may be a little low. As of Aug. 16, he had contributed at least 35 hours to the project and his crew of Andy Swartz, Sam Javor, Rudy Othmer and Spr­ ing Javor had donated more than 100 hours. Though An­ dy, Sam and Rudy are also Boy Scouts, their hours are not being used to meet merit badge requirements. They all have volunteered their labor to help Mudry and the library. The library staff and board of trustees have voiced their appreciation for the profes­ sional and responsible manner in which the entire crew has performed the work. Inside the library building, the brighter lighter look continues. Rosie Murphy and her daughter-in-law, Rae, both of Nashville, installed new wallpaper in the main downstairs rooms. In keeping with the decor of the building, the expanded vinyl off-white paper is an antique reproduc­ tion. It looks so natural on the walls that many patrons have remarked, “Something is dif­ ferent but I don’t know what.” Mudry praised the hard work of her granddaughters for their help in the project. Cassady and Aubrey Murphy, 11 and 9 respectively, of Nashville, and Allie Ward, 7, of Houston, Texas, and Anne Murphy, 9, of Lafayette, La., removed all the old paper Rosie installed 20 years ago. Cassady and Aubrey also catered some meals for the paper hangers, which the ladies appreciated. Rosie has been “hanging” wallpaper in the Nashville area for 25 years, and Rae has been in the business for 12 years. Says Rosie, “The walls in the library are in great shape. They did not require any repair work.” “And they are square,” adds Rae. It has been a month since Jesse died, and we have been grappling with how to thank all the people who have given tribute to him and comfort to us through the cards, flowers, notes, food, donations, phone calls, visits, prayers and hugs. And after a month the purest way Is simply I to say “Thank You.” Thank you for sharing with us, us, / / your time, your love, your tears.

Even then, they also cleaned and polished the woodwork surrounding the paper. The Friends of the Putnam Public Library paid for the labor portion of the wallpapering project. Adding to the brighter look is the carpet, recently installed by Jewett Carpet of Charlotte. The lighter neutral tone replaces the darker burnt orange hues that had covered the floors for 20 years. And a clear plastic runner on the floor of the entry hall replaces the dark brown opaque one. The floor tile in the entry is the same; it just appears dif­ ferent because now one can see it. New ceiling fans and lights, installed by Darryl Hale of Vermontville, make the rooms light, bright and airy. Victorian-look globes add to the decor, and the fans keep the air circulating in the 10-foot ceiling rooms, making the temperature more comfor­ table summer and winter. As of Wednesday, Aug. 25, Dirk Meersma of Nashville has begun replacing the floor boards of the porch and soon will have that project com­ pleted. Ben Mudry and his helpers will paint the new flooring, if time and weather permit it. Says Bryans, “We couldn't do any of this work without the generous support of the people of the Nashville area. All of the money used for redecorating has come from the library improvement fund, which consists of donations from area residents.” Contributions to the library are always welcome and they can be designated for the library improvement fund, for the purchase of books, or to go to the general fund.

"We have a lot of new faces. Our team is made up of 15 seniors, 11 juniors and one sophomore," he said. Though the Lions open against one of last year's playoff teams, Union City on Sept. 3, he thinks "if the kids represent Maple Valley like the kids in the past, we'll be .competitive this season." The coach said the Lions are just about the only team in the SMAA league that has lost so many players due to graduation. He said teams like Dansville, Olivet, Bellevue and Battle Creek St. Phillip didn't lose a lot of their players. The Lions, who've had only one regular season loss in the last three years, made it to the state Class C semi-finals last year before losing to Detroit St. Martin dePorres. Their only other loss was to Cassopolis in a squeaker 14­ 13. Mittelstaedt says he is hop­ ing for some leadership from the seniors, like Mike Kuempel, Matt Reid, Jeff Burpee and Brent Stine, who are just some of the seniors on the team, to repeat last year's success. The one sophomore on the team, P. Kellepourey, was brought up from the junior varsity squad. Mittelstaedt is continuing to stress the basics like the eight years before. With that for­ mula his teams have put to­ gether an enviable record of 62-20 for varsity and 45-5-1 for jayvees.

Last season the lady Lions finished first in the SMAA conference and had an overall record of 14-7. Reese said that though the leading scorer and all-confer­ ence player, Jennifer Phenix, graduated, he feels co-captains Stephanie Bouwens and Joyelle Stine should be able to help with the scoring. Reese feels as if returning senior Holly Taylor's defen­ sive efforts and returning cen­ ter Dana Hassleback's im­ provements over last season also will fill in the hole left by Phenix. Junior Sarah Leep will be the team's point guard. In total, the team has six returning lettermen. "Promising players include sophomore forward/guard Nicole Kirwin who will be our 'sixth starter.' who contin­ ues to develop," said the coach. He also pointed out players like forward Jodi Mazurek, sophomore guard Nicole Reid and German foreign exchange student and senior guard Sabina Schwehr as players who've shown an aptitude. Resse has been the head coach for the girls' basketball team for 16 years and has ac­ cumulated a record of 157111.

Second row: Coach Jerry Reese, Jodi Mazurek, Sabina Schwehr, Nicole Kirwin, Robin Hale, Nicole Reid and manager Dick Baker. Most of the golfers on this year's varsity team were part of coach Mike Booher's sum­ mer golf program. He said the program helped the kids on the basics, giving new players like Retha Byrd a chance to make it on the var­ sity team. Even the veterans from last year's like Andy Cole, Corey Robinson and Justin Thrun have had a lot of extra sum­ mer practice. Booher said no place on the varsity is safe because there is a group of freshmen coming in that has the talent to make it on the varsity team. Some of the younger crew include Mike Robinson and Matt Knoll. "We don't have a standout player, but we do have some pretty good, consistant golfers coming out," the coach said. Last year, the varsity team lost the league championship by one stroke and had to settle for second behind Battle Creek St. Phillip. "We plan to avenge that loss this year," he said. This will be the 21st year Booher has coached the Maple Valley golf team. "I see golf as a fun sport. We don't do too many sprints and we don't do any man killers or anything like that," Booher said. "I just want to help the kids learn something about the sport and hopefully, after they graduate, I'll see them up here playing golf in a couple of years." �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, August 31, 1993 — Page 9 League title for girls cross country team? Maple Valley cross-country coach Gary Hamilton has more kids out this year than last, and thinks the girls' team might be strong enough to contend for a league title. Hamilton thinks the boys* team, on the other hand, should be able to run second or third in the league. Last year's girls finished first in the SMAA and the boys took a third. Some of the strengths on the teams might be returning runners like Andy Swartz, John Baker, Spring Javor, Jaclyn Sealy and Cheri K. Sessions. Last year Sessions was the all-conference and Class C state-qualifying leader of the girls’ team. However, the boys' top runner. Matt Bowen, graduated last spring. The three-mile runners usually run around golf courses, parks and wooded areas. Seldom do they run along highways or paved streets. This is to help avoid accidents and cut down on the possibility of shin splints.

Gonser replaces former assistant principal/athletic director William Farnsworth, who left his position to take a new one in his home town of Marysville. Gonser has seven years experience as an llth-grade U.S. History teacher and coach at Maple Valley. He has a master's degree in secondary principalship from Western Michigan University. "I am really excited at being chosen," said Gonser. "I am looking forward to working with the staff and students." Gonser was chosen from a Held that started with 21 applicants. The field was narrowed down to three ree by a board consisting of o MV Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks, High School Principal Larry Lenz, two school board members and two teachers. Those three were interviewed by the full board Monday, Aug. 23. "This is a career goal for me," said Gonser. "Maple Valley is my home and my children go to school here." Gonser fives in Area young people who worked on the recently completed renovation and repair of the Nashville Community Building stand with their teachers and village officials (from left): James Dunn, Adult Education Director Tate Mix, Dan Flory, Eric Dearman, John Gilbert, Bill Nelson, Heath Felps, Nashville Mayor Ted Spoesltra and project supervisor Carey K.

Here he sits at his desk, ready for the start of the new school year. Vermontville with his wife, Karen, and their two children Adam (5) and Ashley (3). Gonser's move into the assistant principal/athletic director slot leaves his former teaching position in history and physical education open. A substitute teacher has been hired to begin the school year and a permanent replacement is being sought. After 10 weeks of hard work and many contributions from local residents and businesses, the Nashville Putnam Park Community Building renovation and repair project has been completed. The federally funded Job Training Partnership Act project used Barry and Eaton County youths ages 16-21 to give the building a needed facelift. Some of the work done was to improve the in- door lighting, replace ceiling tiles, paint both inside and outside, repair and strengthen brick work, and do a general clean-up of the park area. All the work was done by the youths chosen for the job through the Summer Youth Program, but it was overseen by experts in construction, electrical repair, brick laying, plumbing, heating and air conditioning. The only work still to be done is the replacement of the furnace and the addition of a low-level deck near one of the outside walls. Valley Adult Maple Education classes are expected to be held in the newly renovated building starting Monday, Sept. 13. Anyone who wants to enroll in these classes should call either 8529275 or 852-1630. The names of those making donations toward completion of the project were placed on a sign outside of the building. Some include: Hometown Lumber, Kenny As, Nashville A&C Hardware, Construction, Hickey Electric, Market, Frank Carl's Townsend-Habitat for Humanity, Mulberry Hill, Family Chiropractic Center, Nashville Shell Quick Mart, Clay's Dinner Bell, Mace Pharmacy, Outboard Inn, Maple Valley Implement, Phase II, Goodtime Pizza, Mussers Service and Scott R.

The council beard from Joe Rahn, executive director of the Joint Economic Development Commission. Rahn is helping Mulberry Fore owners Tim and Alice Boucher in getting together the necessary paperwork to apply for a $310,000 Federal Housing Administration grant to be used toward putting in the needed sewer system for the expansion project. The proposed RV park would be located on the north side of the course, which is outside village limits. However, in order to get sewer service, they would have to hook up with Nashville's system. Rahn said he also plans to speak to Castleton Township officials Wednesday, Sept. 1, to ask for their help in apply- JL JLold a piece of tape up to your eyes, dim the lights and try to fill out your taxes. Now you’re seeing things from her point ofview. A Public Service of This Publication & Internal Revenue Service ing for the grant money. The grant possibly would have to be administered by both Nashville and Castleton, since the project spans both of their areas of jurisdiction. An application for the grant would have to be submitted by Oct. 1. The project would add con­ dominiums, an RV park and other improvements to Mulberry Fore. The RV park would call for 127 long-term and 23 short-term sites for recreational vehicles. Long-range plans would supervisor add on-site housing and office, a convenience store, a recreation hall, showers, laundry, a swimming pool for residents, an irons course for golf instruction and practice, and cottages for short-term housing of park guests. In other business last week the council: • Heard a report from Maple Valley Adult and Community Education director Terry Mix on the completion of the renovation project at Putnam Park's Community Building. (See For this woman it’s poor eyesight, for someone else it might be arthritis or maybe they just can’t cope.

The Jaycees already have placed flower boxes and planted bushes and flowers near the park. A gazebo or bandstand was dis­ cussed to replace the fountain that now stands in the middle of the park. The Council agreed to get additional ideas from the Jaycees in deciding what action to take. Additional funds, if needed, might be raised through donations or canisters placed in area businesses. • Voted once again not to participate in next year's Mayor Exchange Day in May. • Discussed a problem in Water Alley with cars speed­ ing through the area. Council agreed to discuss the possible placement of 15 miles per hour signs in the alley or putting in speed bumps. • Discussed a problem of people practicing golf in the Riverside Ball Park behind the businesses hitting a nearby resident's home and endangering children playing in the area. A committee was formed to look further into the problem and come up with a possible solution. • Agreed to give a permit for the Maple Valley Homecoming Parade Oct 22.

Several Boy Scouts from Nashville Troop No. 176 re­ turned recently from a trip to the National Jamboree at Fort AP Hill near Fredricksburg, Va., and a tour of Washington D.C. and the surrounding ar­ eas.

The Jamboree is a week-long na­ tional campout that brings to­ gether scouts from across the nation and other countries and occurs once every four years. While at the Jamboree, the troop toured military exhibits of tanks, hands-on video games that simulated shooting tanks and got to sit inside of a Blackhawk helicopter. They were shown Merit Badge Row, where thousands of scouts worked to earn various merit badges, then traded patches and other scout items with people at the Jamboree. That evening, the troop spent the night camped at the site of a Civil War troop encampment in a nearby resident's yard. The owner showed them artifacts he had found on his property and gave each boy a lead bullet from the Civil War era.

We hope to reach agreements by the Oct. 6 deadline. If not, then we will replace H them with other channels. Americable local patrons may lose Fox stations and Channel 3 by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Americable International patrons in Vemontville could lose three stations currently available on their cable tele­ vision network if agreements aren't reached with the net­ works involved by Oct. 6. Americable in Vermontville has not yet reached agree­ ments with channel WWMT3 (CBS), WXMI-17 (FOX) or WYSM-47 (FOX.) Congress passed the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 last October. In May, the Federal Communications Commission released regulations imple­ menting that act. Two provisions of it called "must carry" and "retransmis­ sion consent" affect cable companies across the United States. Under these two new provisions, companies have been negotiating with broad­ cast stations for permission to carry their signals. Under "must carry," the sta­ tion is guaranteed a channel position and may request car­ riage on a specific channel. Under the "retransmission" rules, a station may withhold its broadcast signal from a cable operator if an agreement can't be reached by Oct. 6. "We don't anticipate turning them (the three channels af­ fected) off," said Americable representative Bill Bernasconi. "We hope to reach agreements by the Oct. 6 deadline. If not, then we will replace them with other channels." Bernasconi explained that Americable's rates are set based on the number of chan- nels they have on their sys­ tems. In Vermontville those rates are $20.95 for its basic package consisting of chan­ nels 2-39 on their converters. " The FCC is regulating the cable industry," said Bernasconi. "If we make any change in the number of channels that we carry, we must either replace any that are lost or change our rates." Customers may choose to buy an AV switch or an out­ side antenna to pick up any network broadcasting if chan­ nels are dropped from the sys­ tem. Premium channels such as HBO and Showtime and satel­ lite programming such as USA or Nickelodeon are not affected by the new FCC rules.

Nomination to the National Register was approved by the state historical preservation review board in April and submitted to the register for final approval and listing when the nomination text was completed in June. A letter from the National Register showed that the opera house was put on the list in July. Finished in 1898, the Opera House was dedicated as a Michigan Historical Building on April 30, 1978, by Jerry D. Roe, Michigan Historical Commissioner. A sign in the front of the building tells about it and designates it as a historical landmark. The site for the building was purchased by Vermontville Township from Henry H. Graham on July 29, 1895, for $200. It was reported in various area newspapers that the cornerstone was placed in August of 1895, but full construction wasn’t completed until several years The Vermontville Opera House has attained national recognition with its recent listing in the National Register of Historical Places. The nearly 100-year-old building, was put on the list in July after approval from both state and national sources. later. The building is a two-story red brick structure with a cut stone foundation and an offcenter tower over the front entrance. It also has a balcony, coat check room and box office for ticket sales. It was built to replace a building used for village and township business and various social events. “The building has never been changed, except for the remodeling of the library and some inside renovations,” said longtime village resident See Opera House, Page 2 In This Issue • Public health nursing celebration planned in Vermontville • Nashville Council OKs community building fees • Eaton Annual Ride-a-thon set for Sept. 19 • Maple Valley gridders beat Dansville �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 14, 1993 — Page 2 OPERA HOUSE, continued from frontpage- Hildred Hildred Peabody.

For many towns of a century ago, opera houses were the center of community activities. This fact still holds true for the village of Vermontville, as the Opera House is home to many school activities, weddings, auctions and other special events. It has been the home of the library, located in the basement below the main hall since 1948. The library was given rooms that were formerly used for the Village Council. The library was expanded when the fire department was moved out of the opera house in 1973. It has been a focal point for village activities since its original construction. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many of the village’s most important public gatherings and social events were held there.

Parks Historically, most Americans have believed that education has been one of the keys to our greatness as a nation. In a recent Gallup Poll, respondents said that development of our education system was more important than developing the most efficient industrial production systems or building the strongest military force in the world. Although this response may be more idealistic than realistic, it renews the traditional belief in the importance of our schools. In the early years of our country, many community members were involved in the development of their schools for a number of reasons. A leading reason was that they had children of their own in school. Another was that the schoolhouse was a center of activities for all ages. Last, but not least in importance, was the fact that many helped to build the school, see that it operated and housed the staff. By contrast, the majority of today’s community members do not have school-aged children, seldom attend school-housed events and have had little to do with the building, managing or housing of schools and their staff members. However, if the American dream is to continue, we need to have a renewal of involvement in restructuring our schools. The need for change in our schools is being recommended by many. A primary reason for change is the projection that by the year 2000 there will be very few jobs for those who are unskill­ ed and only moderately literate. Other major concerns are the rising crime rate and die decline in moral standards. Along with the need to educate all of our students more effi­ ciently, not just the top half, is the need to do so as efficiendy as possible. This is especially challenging, since what might appear to be more efficient, such as large scale consolidation, may not be as efficient or effective as we might assume. If our schools are still as important as they have been historically, they need your continued interest and involve­ ment. The following are possible ways for you to be involved: 1. Visit your local schools to find out first hand what is hap­ pening today in education. 2. Talk to your administrators and staff members about your schools and educational issues. 3. Learn all that you can about current issues in education through reading, watching and listening to television and radio and attendance at informational meetings, perhaps even hosting a meeting. 4. Share your views with others through responding to surveys, speaking up at meetings, and writing to school authorities and legislators. 5. Vote for improvements at local and state elections. This is an important year in the evaluation and restructuring of our schools. Plans to be actively involved. Good com­ munities help produce good schools. Good schools help pro­ mote and preserve good communities. For Reminder ‘ACTION-ADS Call 945-9554 24 Hours a Day 7 days a week.. Reach over 27,000 area homes!

Public health nursing will be honored at a centennial celebration Friday, Sept. 17, at the Opera House in Ver­ montville, from 11:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Current and former public health nurses of the BarryEaton District Health Depart­ ment will gather at the historic site to commemorate the foun­ ding of a significant branch of nursing practice. Period dress will be worn by many of those attending. Several of the lun­ cheon dishes will be prepared from recipes gathered from an 1890 cookbook and musical selections will be performed by talented health department employees. The highlight of the after­ noon will be the performance of “At Home on Henry Street’’ by Michigan actress Harriet Holm. She will por­ tray Lillian Wald, the first American public health nurse, in the drama written by Clare Cass. Public health nursing in the United States traces its origins to those first graduate nurses who provided home nursing care to the poor in the late 19th century. These first public health nurses were courageous and caring women whose commitment to those they served was challenged daily by the social .conven­ tions that made no room for women who worked outside the boundaries of class and home. The official event that marks the beginning of American public health nurs­ ing was the founding of the Henry Street Settlement house in New York City by Lillian Wald in 1893. Public health nursing in Barry and Eaton counties of­ ficially began in 1931 and 1933, respectively. Both were included in the Michigan Community Health Project funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The early public health nurses in both counties were called family health counselors and all were col­ lege graduates with special training in public health and health education. The national centennial theme is “A Century of Caring.” Mary Huntington Shaw, one of the earliest public health nurses in Eaton Coun­ ty, will be among those honored at the celebration Friday. In September 1935, Mary Huntington left New Haven, Conn., in her two-seater Ford and drove west to Charlotte, Mich. She was 26 and a nurse. In that year, she was one of the first public health nurses recruited by the Kellogg Foundation to work at the newly established Eaton County Health Department. Bom and raised in Hart­ ford, Conn., she attended private schools and claims Katherine Hepburn as a childhood classmate at the Oxford School. Huntington graduated from Smith College in Northampton, Mass., in 1931 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology. Three years later, in 1934, she graduated from Yale as a nurse. For one year following her Yale graduation, Huntington worked as a staff nurse in a pediatric/surgical ward at New Haven Hospital. She then learned that the Kellogg Eaton County 4-H Council to sell food at car show The Eaton County 4-H Ad­ visory Council will provide breakfast, lunch and beverages for the “Cars of the Past” Car Show Sunday, Sept. 26, at the Charlotte Fairgrounds.

Proceeds go toward county 4-H awards, workshops, leader/member trips and many other 4-H related activities.

In 1938, she left Eaton County to work as a public health nurse at the famed Henry Street Settlement in New York City. There, she was assigned to the “Gold Coast of Harlem,” and upper northwest side district populated mostly by black and Jewish families. Ten months later, however, Mary returned to Eaton Coun­ ty to marry Lynn Shaw, a farmer from a well-known Chester farm family. After marriage, Mary settled into her new life as farm wife and mother of three daughters. Huntington now lives in Charlotte. Step Up I New YOU .! StylesRUs | 224 N.

This rule doesn't apply whenever hunting on lands where the parent or guardian lives. "I've been teaching this class for 21 years," said Hastings resident Gary Shoeffner. "I have classes at Maple Valley, Hastings, Middleville and Wayland." Shoeffner is a DNR spon­ sored safety instructor coordi­ nator. According to the 1993-94 Michigan Hunting and Trapping Guide, the 10 Commandments of Firearm Safety in the Field are: 1. Treat every gun as if it were loaded. 2. Watch where you point 6. Beware of fatigue when hunting. 7. Don't take chances with a loaded firearm. 8. Use care when practicing shooting. 9. Store your guns safely. 10. Remember that alcohol, drugs and firearms don't mix. Following these rules should make hunting a fun and safe adventure and could mean the difference between life and death.

Vermontville village workers Tony Wawiemia and Monte O'Dell stand next to the trench box device that will be used to keep workers safe in the event of a cave-in. The box is designed to use whenever any excavation work requires diqqinq more than five feet down. .<> .. by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Vermontville has added a new safety shield to its Public Works Department to keep employees safer when they must work at least five feet underground. The Lite-Shield trench box sits inside the excavation site and prevents the dirt walls from caving in. It was bought from GME in Union City for $2,836. OSHA now requires public works departments to carry this type of safety gear. "Before we had the trench box we had to slant the banks of the hole we were working in," said Public Works employee Tony Wawiemia. 'This is quit a bit safer.” Vermontville's trench box is the same type used by workers in Charlotte's Public Works Department.

With the help of three pass interceptions by Gabe Priddy and 275 yards rushing, Maple Valley defeated Dansville 17­ 0 Friday night in the league opener for both schools. The Lions overcame an Aggies team which has eight returning starters on offense, including a senior quarterback with more than three years experience at the position. Gabe Priddy stopped the first Aggies' drive by picking off an Adam Jones pass. The Lions then worked their way down field. The first touchdown came shortly after Rich Furlong broke free and ran 29 yards before being caught by a free safety on the one-yard line. Priddy then snuck the ball across the goal line for the first score. Keith Carpenter kicked the extra point with 12 seconds left in the first quarter to make it 7-0. The next score didn’t come until the fourth quarter with a 30-yard field goal by Carpenter. With 3:30 left in the game, Chris Miller bulled his way across from the one-yard line to cap a scoring drive. Carpenter again completed the extra point try to make the final score 17-0. Maple Valley garnered 13 first downs to Dansville’s 12. On 53 rushes, the Lions ate up 275 yards of turf and two of five passes were completed for another 43 yards. Ben Kemple caught one pass for a 30-yard gain and John Mitchell grabbed the AN ALLNEW BREED OFPOWER Quarterback Gabe Priddy prepares to unleash before being run over by a pair of Aggie rushers, in Maple Valley’s win over Dansville.

But in the second quarter St. Pat scored 22 points to the Lions' 11. The Lions scored only nine points in the second half to St. Pat's 21. Leading scorer for the Lions was Joyelle Stine with 11. Holli Taylor, Nicole Kerwin and Sarah Leep each scored four points in that game. In the game against Morrice, the Lions had to face three-time all-stater Jamie Wesley. Morrice had only three players score in that gam?, however, one of them was Wesley. She scored 32 of Morrice’s 47 points in their victory. “We had solid ball handling in that game,” said Reese, “and most of Wesley’s points came off of steals, but we were still able to make a game of it.” Maple Valley was down by one point at the end of one quarter and down by only two at the end of the first half, 27­ 25. However, Morrrice was able to increase its lead to five in the third and hold off the charging Lions in the fourth quarter. Leading scorers in that game for the Lions were Stine with 13, Kirwin with 12 and Taylor and Dana Hasselback with six each. Girl eagers team registers first victory The Lions' girls' basketball team had nine players score in a 70-46 romp over Davison Baptist Saturday. Maple Valley's leading scorer was Holli Taylor with 12 points, with three other players, Nicole Reid, Jody Mazurek and Dana Hasselback dropped in nine points apiece. Stephanie Bouwens and Joyelle Stine had eight and Robin Hale and Sarah Leep had a pair of field goals. The Lions were 14 of 20 from the free throw line while Davison Baptist was 12 for 20. Hasselback had eight rebounds on the night and Leep had four assists. The team, now 1-3 on the season, opens its SMAA season tonight at Dansville.

Broadway, Hastings, Mich. 4905(3 P.O. Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 122 - No. 8 — Tuesday, September 21, 1993 Maple Valley to try again for Headlee override in November by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Voters in the Maple Valley district will be asked again on Nov. 11 to allow the school to levy its full authorized millage through an override of the Headlee Amendment. to 28.1397. If the measure were to pass in November, the millage rate would return to 29.01 and the district would get back the lost funding. "We are gamboling $2,000 (the projected cost to hold an election) to make $150,000," The decision was made at said Board Trustee Joe the Sept. 13 school board Briggs.. The reduction in state and meeting after a discussion on the district's financial situa- local revenue is due to the tion. With passage of the K- failure in June to override the 12 school aid bill last month, Headlee Amendment, new Maple Valley is expected to rulings requiring the district receive $7,305.50 less in state to pay 25 percent of social and local revenue than last security costs for all staff members, and new criteria for year. "This (the Headlee over- low income revenues that ride) is a debatable issue,” requires at least 23 percent of Valley students to be enrolled in the said Maple Superintendent Dr. Ozzie free lunch or free milk Parks. "But without it (an programs. The decrease in revenues override) we will have an im­ means that the budget apbalance." A proposal to override proved in June will not balHeadlee failed in June by a ance with a 5 percent equity margin Of 433 (no) to 301 fund as expected. The fund (yes). The failure meant the instead is expected to drop to loss of $150,225 in state and a 2 percent balance of local funding, as it caused the $124,557 at the end of the millage rate to fall from 29.01 1993-94 school year. In comparison, the equity fund stood at $715,508 at the end of the 1992-93 school year,, a difference of $590,951. These figures are based on the June budget amounts and do not take into consideration any increases in salaries except for scheduled step increases. In another attempt to recoup lost state and local funding, the board agreed to try to recruit more students who may qualify for the free lunch and free milk programs.

Sept. 19-25 has been de­ clared National School Bus Safety Week, in order to draw gj attention to this continuing problem. Between 1986 to 1989, 152 children between the ages of 5 and 17 years were killed while getting on and off school buses, according to a survey done by the Kansas Department of Transportation. Fifty-nine pecent were killed by the bus, and the others by a Castleton Township Supervisor Justin Cooley holds up one of the pieces of a 1900 map of Nashville. The maps came from the estate of Arthur Bateman and were passed down to the township after the Putnam Library couldn't make use of them. Cooley framed the old and brittle pieces and plans to hang them somewhere within the new hall building. Castleton Township holds dedication ceremony of new hall Castleton Township Board members joined with com­ munity residents Sept. 12 to dedicate the new hall built on Reed Street. A short ceremony included an introduction by Castelton Supervisor Justin Cooley, who thanked everyone involved in the construction of the building and dedicated it to all the former Castleton Township officials.

Michigan law states that all vehicles must stop for school buses loading or unloading SCHOOLBUnpSTOP FOR SCHOOL BUS LOADING OR UNLOADING LOCAL OfDIMAMCE BIKE I PATH WALK PATH Drivers in Nashville and Vermontville must follow both state and local laws that require stopping for all buses loading and unloading passengers. When the bus lights are flashing, the law says vehicles must stop until the lights are off and all students are safe. This outline shows the danger zones for students getting on or off of a school bus. These areas are where the children run the most risk of being hit by either the bus or other traffic. passengers. Local ordinances in both Nashville and Vermontville also require stopping for buses. When the red overhead lights are flashing, approach­ ing or following traffic must stop no closer than 20 feet from the bus. They may not proceed until the signals have been turned off. If a bus is off the roadway and only the amber hazard warning lights are flashing, motorists traveling either way may proceed with caution. Some buses in the Maple Valley area are equipped with both sets of colored lights, while the older models have only the red warning signals. All Maple Valley buses use the red flashing lights to sig­ nal stops within the village limits of Nashville and Vermontville, according to Maple Valley Transportation In official, Gerald Aldridge. Vehicles must stop for these signals no matter what Sae Bus safety, page 4 This Issue • New ‘Phoenix’ program encourages students to improve academic skills • Caledonia Twp. to stay in Kent County Library System • Gun Lake Woman’s Club planning annual Home Tour • Middleville Council approves increase in sewer hookup fee �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 21, 1993 — Page 2 D?

Parks The ultimate responsibility for education in our state rests with our State Legislature. This responsibility has traditionally been shared with local districts. The same may be said about the right to determine what our schools should be. This balance is being devated as part of the school reform issue. It is also evident in this year’s funding for our local school. This is a critical tie in the history of education in our state and district. Our district has been blessed by the state in the area of fun­ ding. Last year the state supplied 60 percent of our total revenues. Included in this amount was a “grant” of $380,000, which they gave to us because we were classified as a “low in­ come” district. This year the State Legislature changed the rules for the grant from our income level to the number of approved free lunch and milk applications we have in our district. Preliminary figures indicate that we could lose one half of the grant unless our number of applications increases greatly before Oct. 1. We have sent letters home with students asking parents to complete applications if they meet the guideline requirements. Our board also is scheduling a special election to help offset the lack of state aid caused by this issue and a Headlee rollback. Though the state has blessed us in the past and given us more funds back for education than we have put into it locally, we must be careful to take our share of the responsibility if we are to retain our right to control our local schools. Speakers at this week’s Summit Conference on Education warned us about losing our local rights by assigning too many responsibilities to the state. This is a crucial time to take local responsibility so that we retain our share of the control over the future of our schools. As we sometimes hear on our radios “this is a test for a possible emergency situation.” Let’s study hard for and perform well on the test. The result will affect how much control we have over the education of our children for years to come. We should never expect more rights than the degree to which we are willing to assume responsibilities. This is true both in our personal lives and our schools. and four were given to Kellogg Elementary. Letters of thanks were sent to both companies. • Accepted the low bid from Hastings City Bank of 3.09 percent to borrow up to one million dollars as needed against expected state aid. This measure is due to state aid checks not being issued as yet for this year and the need to meet payroll now. • Accepted the bids of Kalamazoo Metal Recyclers of $1,326 each for two used buses being offered for sale by the district. If payment is not received withili 10 working days, the next highest bidder will be given the option to buy the buses. • Accepted the recommen- dation of Principal Larry Lenz to offer a contract to Tim Boucher to teach physical ed­ ucation and U.S. history at the high school for the 1993-94 school year. (See related story in this issue.) • Accepted the recommen­ dation of Kellogg principal Bernie Hynes, to offer a 60 percent contract to Paula Guajardo to teach Chapter One classes at Maplewood Elementary for the 1993-94 school year. • Gave approval to Maplewood to lease a portable classroom for the Chapter I program. All costs will be paid for by Chapter I funding. • Decided not to send any delegates to the Michigan Association of School Boards conference. • Accepted the recomendation of Maple Valley Vice Principal Todd Gonsor to hire the following coaches for the fall and winter seasons: Seventh grade basketball, Kevin Rost; J.V. girls' basket­ ball, Duska Brumm; and J.V. and varsity cheerleading, Sandy Carpenter. �The Maple Valley New*.

The decision was made af­ ter an evaluation session held in closed session at the board meeting. When the board re­ turned to open session, a 6-1 vote in favor of the extension was made. Board President Ronald Tobias cast the only negative vote. "This is the best thing to do for the Maple Valley School District with there being a difference of opinion on the effectiveness of Dr. Parks," said Board Trustee, John Krolik.

Anyone who is at least 17 years old, is in reasonably good health, weighs at least 110 pounds and hasn't given blood for a minimum of 56 days prior to the drive is eli­ gible to donate. Red Cross officials say that it is also important to have eaten prior to giving blood in order to any lightheadedness.

Coach Guenther Mittelstaedt said his team had some trouble in the first quar­ ter moving the ball. Edwardsburg, however, was able to move down to the Lions' 35-yard line and at­ tempted a field goal with 3:39 left in the first. But the Eddies missed and the score was 0-0 at the end of one. The Eddies continued to control the game early in the second quarter with Brent Knapp going in for the first touchdown of the night, from five yards out. The extra point attempt was blocked and the score stood 6-0. On their next possession, the Lions were able to move down to the Eddies' one-yard line, where Cliff Weller was able to bull his way across for the score. The Lions then took the lead on Keith Carpenter's kicked PAT, with 9:36 left in the second. The Lions had one more drive in the first half, and with 17 seconds left, Pete Kellepourey pushed his way across the goal line from the two-yard line and Carpenter again kicked the extra point. The score at the end of the half was 14-6. After the coaches' half time pep talks, both team's defen­ sive lines were able to hold their opponents scoreless in the third quarter.

Rich Furlong scored after Matt Reid intercepted an Edwardsburg pass, with 5:43 left in the game. Furlong went in on a three-yard run and the point after try was no good. With just 21 seconds left, Carpenter scrambled into the end zone from seven yards out and Pete Kellepourey kicked the extra point for a final score of 34-6. Overall statistics showed 316 yards rushing in 52 at­ tempts for Maple Valley. Priddy threw two passes with one complete to Jon Mitchell for 17 yards in the air. The team had 16 first downs, lost one fumble and was called six times for penalties, with a loss of 35 yards. The three Maple Valley punts averaged 20 yards. For the Eddies, they had nine first downs, rushed 34 times for 109 yards, com­ pleted six of 11 passes for 55 yards, averaged 27 yards on five punts and were penalized three times for a total of 15 yards. The Lions' Chris Weller rushed 18 times for 151 yards, Chris Miller nine times for 68 yards and Kellepourey eight times for 30 yards. Matt Reid was credited with 12 tackles, Miller with 11, Brent Stine with 10 and Todd Davis with six. Other outstanding perfor­ mances in the game, accord­ ing to Mittelstaedt, were the offensive line of Joel Root, Stine, Reid, Dan Martin and right tackle Josh Goodman, who were able to open up the holes for the backs. He also said, defensively, the secondary of Mike Kuemple, Mitchell, Carpenter and Priddy did well in the game. "Also," said Mittelstaedt, "the kickoff team did a great job of covering the kickoffs. Josh Bowers and Kellepourey did real well, Friday." Maple Valley defeats Dansville eagers Maple Valley opened its defense of its SMAA girls' basketball title by defeating Dansville, 70-43. Aside from the victory, coach Jerry Reese said he was proud to announce the first points scored by their German foreign exchange student, Sabina Schwehr. Leading scorer for the Lady Lions was Stephanie Bouwens with 16. Maple Valley dominated the first half by scoring more than twice as many points as the Aggies. At the end of the first period the Lions led 20­ 10 and at the half 38-18. The Lions barely slowed their scoring barrage after the half, scoring 17 in the third and 15 in the final period. Sarah Leep also scored in double figures with 10 points and added seven rebounds to her record. Ten players on the Lions' team scored in the game, in­ cluding Holly Taylor with nine points and eight re­ bounds, Nicole Reid and Nicole Kerwin with eight and Joyelle Stine scored six.

The Lady Lions jumped out to a 12-8 lead in the first period, then pounced on the Panthers for 22 points in the second to take a 34-20 advantage at the half.

Representatives from the board's negotiating team and the two unions will meet for the first time since the state aid bill was passed in late August. According to Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks, everyone has been waiting until all the facts and figures are in from the state aid bill. Negotiations originally broke down Tuesday, Aug. 23, when the MEA team proposed a salary settlement based on a formula that would have related 1993-94 salary schedules and hourly rate increases to district revenues for the same time. As of press time. Maple Valley was expected to receive $7,305.50 less in state and local aid than last year. The reduction was due to the failure to override the Headlee Amendment, new rulings requiring the district to pay 25 percent of social security costs for all staff members, and new criteria for low income revenues that requires at least 23 percent of students be enrolled in either the free lunch or free milk programs. Voters will be given a second chance to override the Headlee Amendment Nov. 11. If successful, the district could get back about $150,000 in lost state and local revenue. The Board Finance Committee also will hold a meeting Oct. 7, after the fourth Friday head counts are in and the final free lunch and milk program numbers are known. The committee will discuss possible reductions in the budget. Maplewood opens new, expanded library by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Students at Maplewood Elementary now have a larger school library with additional books and videos, thanks to the Maplewood PTO and do­ nations from area citizens and businesses. "Since we service pre­ school to the sixth grade we needed materials appropriate to those grade levels," said Maplewood Principal Nancy Potter. "It was time to ex­ pand." The library previously was housed in half a classroom. When the decision to expand was made, it was moved into what was once a regular Saa Library expanded, Page 2 Retired Nashville teacher to be honored at special dinner Oct. 2 by Teresa Frith Staff Writer When retired schoolteacher Ralph Richardson started his career in the Nashville school district, Franklin D. Roosevelt was president and the nation was caught up in World War n. Richardson was bom in 1905 and grew up in the Coats Grove area. His first teaching assignment was in a one-room schoolhouse in Assyria in 1925. He then moved on to a rural agricultural school in Dansville after going back to school for a year in 1926. "The Depression came right after that and they closed the department I taught in," re­ members Richardson. "I didn't teach for two years, but I managed to get a job at a gas station." In 1933, he got the chance to resume his teaching career with a job in Hartford that lasted for eight years. He then moved on to Plymouth in 1942 to teach during the day and work at the Wall Wire Factory at night. Then came an offer from the Nashville school district to teach wood and metal shop classes and to help set up a general shop program in the school's basement. "I didn't want to raise my Ralph and Gladys Richardson kids in the Detroit area," said Richardson. "They offered me head of the department to stay, but I was willing to take a lower salary in order to get away from Detroit." Richardson says that times were different in 1943. "The war was on and hous- ing was bad. Teachers didn't have a key to the school and we had to wait until the janitor came to unlock the building," said Richardson. "We had to leave the building right after school so it could See Teacher honored. Page 2 Nashville Council discusses possible changes in benefits by Teresa Frith Maplewood Principal Nancy Potter (left) and librarian Barb Musser cut the ribbon on the entrance to Maplewood's newly opened library. Maplewood students check out the books and video selections available in the school's newly expanded library which opened last week. Staff Writer Village employees could see changes in health care benefits if one of several proposed plans being considered by the Nashville Council is adopted. Under the current system, the village pays $31,280.40 for health care premiums for covered employees. Employees pay no de­ ductibles, have an 80-20 split on doctor's visits, 100 percent coverage of usual and cus­ tomary hospital charges and use a $2 prescription drug card. Under the plans being dis­ cussed, the village would see savings of between $3,940.08 to $7,866.84. If adopted, these plans call for a $275 per per­ son or $550 per family de­ ducible, an 80-20 split on the rest of the bill and either a higher cost (such as $5 or $10) drug card or the cost of prescriptions added into the entire program instead of a drug card. "We don't know how President Clinton's health plan would affect any thing that we decide to do," said Village President Ted Spoelstra. A decision will be made on whether to adopt any of these programs after a meeting with village employees. The deadline for a final decision must be made between Oct. 1 and 15. In other business, the council: • Discussed a proposed ca- ble regulation ordinance, but took no action on whether or not to adopt it. • Discussed once again the possible hiring of a village manager. A public hearing has been set for the next council meeting to discuss passing an ordinance to give the village permission to hire a village manager. • Agreed to place 15 mph speed limit signs in watejr_alley between Washington and’ See Health benefits, Page 2 In This Issue... • Vermontville Fire Dept, plans open nouse Oct. 6 • Fuller Street students learn all about “Johnny Appleseed” • Volunteer retirees group to help Puppet Prospectors • Eaton County Commissioners considering solid waste ordinance �The Maple Valley New», Nashville, Tuesday, September 28, 1993 — Page 2 LIBRARY^ TEACHER HONORED, from frofi t page —Xjf. classroom.

That compares to to­ day's figures that show a bud­ get of over $6 million and an average of about $21,000 for a starting teacher's salary. Richardson kept teaching in Nashville until he retired in 1965, after a total of 23 years in the district and 37 years as a teacher. "Things were getting too big for me to handle," said Richardson. "It was time to was turned ned into a Special edu edu-­ cation fclassroOtn aftd on< fifth-grade .class w<)s 'moved into a different toom^ / "The special education class has less students than a regular classroom," said Potter. "We wanted to use the full-size room where it was needed the most." The library features not only a larger area, but also additional books and video tapes. It has a carpet floor and eventually will have more shelving units, according to Potter. "It took a tremendous I amount of work to set up the library and transport the ' books and furniture to the new room," said Potter.

Richardson remembers that not all of the years brought happy things into his life. His first wife, Louise, died in 1955 after complications of a bowel obstruction. She too was a teacher and taught at the Ann J. Kellogg School for the Handicapped. "She was a very good teacher," said Richardson. "She started to work at the school because of her work with our son, William Jack, who has Down's Syndrome." Richardson was remarried in 1965 to Gladys Miller, a former reporter for the Nashville News and other area media. Besides teaching, Richardson often held another job in order to make ends meet. He has done fanning, painting, construction and fac­ tory work.

Let’s Get a Start on the Holidays GET YOUR SUPPLIES TODAY Yam • Thread • Crochet Hooks • Knitting Needles SPECIAL ORDERS WELCOME Hours: Tues.-Fri. 10-5; Sat. 10-2 Jan’s Crochet Crafts 159 West First St., Vermontville Phone - 726*1297 teacher Bob Smith's and Lori Bunker’s class used cooking and other skills when they read "The Talking Eggs" by Robert San Souci. It is an African folk tale about the Creole and Gullah cultures, featuring an old woman with strange animals and a little girl who comes to her home. After reading the story, the class cooked Creole omelets from a recipe at the end of the story and participated in a se­ ries of other activities based on the story's theme. "This reading series is more interactive than the old one," said Smith. "Each story either has an activity at the end or offers the teacher a chance to create one for it" Smith said that it also al­ lowed the class to use skills other than just reading. "The class used math in mixing the recipe, art in de­ signing posters and geography in looking up where the Hungarian paprika in the Creole omelet came from," said Smith. Besides cooking the omelet, the students made their own movie posters based on how the story could be portrayed as a modem show, made up their own strange animals and designed travel brochures to encourage others to "visit" the town the story was set in.

Parks When some of us attempt to paint a picture, we find it helpful to use a method known as “color by the numbers.” To help you get a picture of your school at the start of the new school year, I will use this technique. An important factor in providing a high quality education to our students is the number of years of training and experience our staff brings to the classroom. The number 18 represents the average number of years of training and service of our teaching staff. Color this part of our school gold, as a symbol of maturi­ ty and quality. Another important feature in our school is the students who are enrolled. Opening enrollment numbers indicated that we have approximately 30 more students this year than last year. Recent test results also indicate that our students are growing in knowledge as well. Color this part of the picture green to represent growth. A third factor in the picturing of our school is our financial resources. As you likely know, the state aid packages from Lansing came with holes in it, causing a shortage of resources. Color this area red to represent our loss of funds. Let’s see, what else is needed to complete our picture? We need to include our parents and community members. They are important parts of any school. But what color shall be used for them? I think I will leave this part of the picture flexible so that you may color in your own description. Ifyou are a faithful booster of your child and the school, col­ or yourself blue, one of our prominent school colors, which symbolizes loyalty. If you are not involved, color yourself white, for absence. I hope that this brief picture of our school has been helpful to you. Hopefully, you have also though about where you fit into the picture. Ifyou aren’t satisfied with the various colors of the school or of yourself, please contact us. We will be glad to work with you to bring more color into our schools and your life. life’s building blocks and maintaining life, and steward­ ship of resources that people hold in common. • Learning How Space is Shared — Kids build coopera­ tion skills, resolve conflicts locally and globally, and understand the communica­ tions technology that makes global sharing possible. Whether it’s from classroom discussions or wat­ ching television, kids today are exposed early to critical world issues from race and ethnic relations to the increas- earth and its resources and to take action to preserve them. The focus is on water quality and conservation. • Kids Talk About the En­ vironment — This six-minute video features kids between the ages of 9 and 16 sharing ideas and feelings on en­ vironmental issues, rain forests, wetlands, recycling, pollution and water issues. • Kids Talk About Cultural Issues — This seven-minute video features kids between the ages of 9 and 16 talking about issues related to similarities, differences and The average cost for hous­ ing and maintaining one child for one year in a state juvenile facility is approximately $52,000. Nationally, the 1990 cost of births to teen mothers was $25 billion. Taxpayer costs per teen birth are estimated at $54,399 a child over a 20-year period. Adolescent substance abuse costs include those associated with traffic accidents, homicides, suicides, alter­ native education, teen pregnancy, incarceration and other juvenile justice system costs. (Source: Prevention: The Children’s Agenda, FY1994). As these statistics show, juvenile intervention is an exrpensive proposition for Michigan residents. Preven­ tion can be a much more cost efficient and effective way of providing positive alternatives for our young people.

During National 4-H Week, Oct. 3-9, Michigan 4-H Youth Programs, the youth develop­ ment component of Michigan State University Extension Children, Youth and Family Programs, is celebrating 79 years of positive youth development. This year’s theme, “You Can Touch the Future in 4-H,” focuses on helping young people unders­ tand and develop communica­ tions skills that help them bet­ ter appreciate the strengths found in the similarities and differences among all in­ dividuals, develop positive friendships and learn skills that help them better share this world with others. Helping to develop these and other skills that young people need to become pro­ ductive members of their communities is the goal of Michigan 4-H Youth Program. 4-H youth development in­ volves volunteers in providing positive, hands-on educational activities with and for young people ages 5 to 19. The com­ mon thread through all ac­ tivities is to help young people develop positive decision- making, communication, lear­ ning and leadership skills.

Roving Volunteers in Christ's Service (RVICS) travels throughout the United States in motor homes. The main thrust of the ministry is to provide physical labor for places such as retreat and con­ ference centers, Christian schools and colleges, missions and similar organizations. The men work six hours a day, three and one-half days a week doing carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, painting and other work geared towards building pro­ jects. The women work three hours a day, four times a week doing sewing, typing, office work, library work, painting and related activities. "It's an easier life with travel and good fellowship," said one of the ladies. "We get to be like a loving family and really care for each Verna Williams (left) and Helen Stressman sew together puppets for the Puppet Prospectors ministry in Nashville. The two ladies were part of a group from the Roving Volunteers in Christ's Service (RVICS) group that travel across the United States to do similar projects.

The Rhodes couple seemed very pleased with the work of the RVICS crew. "They got the garage up in only one day," said Sheldon Rhodes. "With the cost of la­ bor usually being about half of the cost of building, this is like getting the work done for half price. He added, "I also want to thank the people who donated some of the building materials and money for this project." Sheldon Rhodes travels all over the United States per­ forming magic and puppet shows at schools, churches and other locations. He also has spoken at school assem­ blies on drug prevention and other topics. "We were in Florida doing shows at the Edgewood Children's Ranch when we were approached by RVICS,” said Vickie Rhodes. "They offered us help and we were put on their waiting list." Rhodes added that a differ­ ent RVICS group came to help them five or six years ago. A group from RVICS also recently assisted with building the Barry County Christian school's new facil­ ity. RVICS members are com­ pletely self-supporting and provide their own food, trans­ portation, food and tools. They work nine months out of the year on about one project per month. Besides work, they also have Bible study, games and tours. There are eight groups of members in five different re­ gions of the United States. Each couple must commit to participating for at least three months a year, though many do this work year-round. Members typically travel be­ tween 5,000 and 10,000 miles per year. Potential members must be Christians, own self-contained trailers or motor homes, be retired and free to travel, be self-supporting and have ade­ quate insurance. The husband must be younger than 70 and willing to donate time and la­ bor for no cost and to accept group direction. Anyone interesting in join­ ing should call the home of­ fice in Orlando, Fla., at 1­ 800-727-8914. Dave Fischer, one of the members of RVICS, saws some of the boards to just the right size. The boards will be used in building a garage and extension to the Puppet Prospectors building in Nashville. Beat Bots - Use ZIM ECTERIN8 October 1st and December 1st Stop infor details.

One of the main requirements for the badge was riding 150 miles. Other requirements in­ cluded bike maintenance, safety, signaling and law applications.

Rick Genther once again will serve as local chairman and he will be assisted by Lois Elliston, Nelson Brumm, Cathy Felder and Richard Tobias. The group will begin can­ vassing business places this week to get donations for the campaign. "Most of the donations from Nashville come from payroll deductions," said Genther. "But people can also give donations to me or drop them off at the City Hall. We'll get them to the United Way office." Barry County's goal this year is $272,000, an increase over last year's collection of just over $257,000. Genther said it was hard to estimate how much Nashville con­ tributed out of that amount, since most of its contributions come from payroll deductions. A good percentage of the money collected will stay in Nashville to help with various programs such as Christmas baskets, the Wish Upon a Star gift tree, local scouting, fam­ ily and children's services, se­ nior citizen programs. Little League sports and several school activities such as drug abuse prevention training. The thermometer score­ board sign in Nashville's Central Park will keep local residents apprised of the weekly progress of the Barry County United Way campaign in reaching its goal. Contributions are tax de­ ductible and may also be mailed to the United Way of­ fice at 907 W. State Street, Box 81, Hastings, Mich. 49058. While donations are ac­ cepted year-round, the cam­ paign normally runs until late October or early November. Teachers don’t show up at Maplewood open house by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Maplewood Elementary School held its first open house and PTO meeting last Tuesday night without the presence of teachers. Other highlights of the evening were the annual re­ port for the 1992-93 school year and the kickoff for the fall fund-raiser. Teachers didn't attend, but instead sent a letter explaining that they had been advised by their union not to attend any non-contractual events. The teachers are still without new contracts for this school year, with negotiations scheduled for tonight (Tuesday, Oct. 5) at the high school. Because of the contract dif­ ficulties, Kellogg School called off its open house, which had been scheduled for the same evening. Maplewood Principal Nancy Potter welcomed par­ ents and explained last year's annual report. The report ana­ lyzed last year's goals, high­ lighted the accomplishments for the year and explained the fourth- and fifth-grade MEAP test results in math, reading and science. Some of last years accom­ plishments were: • Developing new curricu­ lum in writing and communi­ cations skills. • Increasing the use of ma­ terials, strategies and tech- Maplewood PTO officers (from left) Paul Robles, Doreen Root and Kim Campbell stand next to some of the products and prizes that are part of the school's fall fund-raiser.

The center facility will allow for transmission of television or satellite programs or the broadcast of videos to be received from the wired class­ rooms. Several rooms could simultaneously receive signals from different channels or video players. The work is being done by K and K Communications of Newaygo and will be paid for through a television-oriented grant. Originally, the work was to have been done by Michigan Entertainment, but due to an illness that firm subcontracted the job to K and K Communications. "Everything is nearly ready for use," said Adult and Community Education Director Terry Mix. "The only thing still needed are the hook-up drops and they should be done this week." Though the original proposal would have allowed for only 15 classrooms being wired, officials found that it was possible to do the entire building for the amount of money available through the grant. "All classrooms, including the band room and agricultural rooms are included," said Mix. "The only rooms not wired are the offices.” Mix added that the school hopes to add monitors in each classroom if money becomes available.

Parks A new development in the Maple Valley Schools this year is a change from six-week to nine-week marking periods. This change was made for a number of reasons, including: 1. It aligns our school with others in the area. 2. It provides a better arrangement for units and exploratory classes. 3. It allows staff a better opportunity to know their students before evaulating them. Built in the plan was a mid-marking period report for each student who is performing below a “B” average. The report will be completed at the halfway point of each marking period, which is this week. It will be sent home with the students in the elementary buildings and mailed to parents with children in grades 7-12. We hope that these.reports will help all parents and students to evaluate progress at the start of the school year. Where necessary, we hope that adjustments will betnade to achieve at higher levels. As I indicated in an earlier article, our society is requiring higher standards of academic achievement. Some schools are not giving grades below a “B”. Any work below that level is considered unacceptable or incomplete. We haven’t adopted that standard yet. However, if students are performing below a “B”, I would encourage you to evaluate the situation and make sure that they are doing the best work possible for them. When our graduates are asked what they most regret about their high school days, they often state, “I wish I would have applied myself more to my classes and subjects.” The working world makes them aware of that need early in the game of life. We hope our new progress reports will spur us all on to higher levels of achievement. We hope that they are helpful to you. Let us know what you think. We will appreciate your ideas. The annual report for the district will be presented at the start of the regular meeting of the Board of Education Monday, Oct. 11, at 7 p.m. in the high school library. This report will deal primarily with the achievements of the district in such areas as test scores, graduation rates and atten­ dance of parents at parent-teacher conferences. Community members who wish to know how our district is progressing in these areas are encouraged to attend. and the table rentals will go to the Maplewood PTO. Those who plan to attend can do their Christmas shopping while helping the school. For more information, call Kim Campbell at 726-0269.

Stacie Goris, LeeAnn Stairs each had six points, Jonessa Ham­ monds, five, Kristin Fajnor, three, and Jane Spears with two points for the girls. The girls second game was at Bellevue where they won 33-14. The score was 12-8 with Valley ahead with three and one half minutes left in the half.

The team suffered their first loss in the game against Dansville 24-19, Sept. 20. Dansville ran a zone defense and the girls looked lost against 85. “The zone was something we didn’t spend much time working against in practice and it showed. Our man-to-man full court pressure got our guards into foul trouble and forced us to play a one-half court game,” said coach Kevin Rost. Goris led the scoring with seven points, Krolik, four, and Hammonds, Russell, Stairs, Spears each had two points. The girls defeated Lakewood’s “B” team 37-17 Sept. 22.

The girls traveled to Olivet and lost 18-17 Sept. 27. It was a defensive game with both teams pressing full court and man-to-man. Neither team could get their offensive set to work with the tight defense. Most of the points came from lay-ups off the press for both teams. “We had a lot of chances to win, but we just didn’t make our shots. We missed about 10 open lay-ups for the game,” Rost said. Scoring for the girls was Goris six points, Hammonds, four, Russell, Jane Spears had two points each. The girls played at Hastings where they won both games 20-5 and 36-28 on Sept. 29. The first game Hastings couldn’t get anything going for them against the Lions B team’s defense. Our girls were bigger arid controlled the boards. Stairs led the scoring with nine points, Krolik six, Kelly Austin, Fajnor each had two and Trisha Johnson had one. The second game was all Hastings for most of the game. With about three minutes left in the game the Lions went to full-court pressure. We got a few steals and Goris got hot and hit all her lay-ups giving her 12 points for the quarter. Goris finished the game with her best outing of the year with 22 points, 10 steals and five rebounds.

The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute is now recommending weight loss and exercise, in addition to eating less dietary fat and cholesterol, since both excess weight and inactivity are con­ tributing risk factors for heart disease. And, while the guidelines do recommend drug therapy for those who have heart disease, they stress that dietary and lifestyle changes should be tried for most Americans, particularly young adults, citing side ef­ fects association with many drug therapies. “Making wise dietary choices and becoming more active is something that every American can do. What’s more, every step you take to be more heart healthy will help you feel generally healthier and more in control of your life,” said Dennis Branoff, Weight Watchers Area Director. “And here’s a trip. Instead of thinking you have to exercise more, think instead of just being less ac­ tive. That includes simple things like walking a little far­ ther or taking the stairs. All extra movement add up and they all count." Creating healthier eating habits can be easy, too, when you know how to make sim­ ple, but tasty, food substitutions. EWING WELL DRILLING, INC.

Olivet is ranked No. 6 in the state in Class C. The Eagles started the scor­ ing in the second quarter on a pass from all-state quarterback Eric Place to running back Brock Peters. The two-point conversion was no good. Maple Valley lit up its side of the scoreboard when Chris Miller ran in from 20 yards out with 4:29 left in the half. At the break, the score was tied 6-6. Maple Valley received the kickoff to start the second half, and moved the ball down to Olivet's five-yard line, eat- ing up nine minutes on the clock. The Olivet defense was able to force the Lions to give up the ball on downs at the five. On the next play Eagles' fullback Casey Collins ran 95 yards for a second Olivet score, and the two-point con­ version was good, and at the end of three the score was 14­ 6. 5sj& ’ JJb' »x« »s xM« sM iC/Sx’k* w ‘Xftw ^SJJ< w< ti *^* *^*> ^> •»H*S Chris Miller breaks free and runs in the only Maple Valley touchdown, Friday. a w snun Maple Valley's Mike Kuemple slips an Olivet defender on a punt return.

Americable was unable to reach agreements with channels WWMT-Channel 3 (CBS), WOOD-Channel 8 (NBC) and WOTV-Channel 41 (ABC). Customers also may be in danger of losing WSYMChannel 47, one of the Fox networks currently carried on the system. Channel 47 has given Americable an extension on the negotiations with their network. "We don't expect to reach agreements with the channels involved," said Americable representative Bill Bernasconi. "Our goal has been to provide each of our locations one channel for each of the CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox networks." Bernasconi explained that if they had kept the other channels that much of the programming would have had to be blacked out due to the FCC ar6a of dominance ruling. sion consent,” affect cable Vermontville still has WLNS- companies across the United 6 (CBS), WILX-10 (NBC), States.

The Trick or Treat hours will be from 5:30 to 8 p.m. For those who would like something other than just go­ ing door-to-door, the Maple Valley Jaycees will be in the park giving out candy. The members will be in costume and the council has asked that a sign be posted showing that they are from the Maple Valley Jaycees. Council also heard a report Thursday evening from a lawyer about a problem with recovering money paid to the Pittsburgh Tank and Tower Co. in Kentucky for repairs done on the village water tower in 1990. The lawyer told council members that it would cost more money than they would stand to collect to pur­ sue the issue and advised the village to drop it. The problem stems from a dispute on whether or not the 1990 repairs were caused by wind damage or something else. .Originally, the insurance company. Municipal Consulting Managers of Kalamazoo, was to pay the $4,800 in repairs, but it later denied the claim, calling it normal maintenance. Pittsburgh Tank and Tower had come in to do a routine inspection on the tower, which is done every five years. Pittsburgh Tank and Tower told the village that the damage to the tower was caused by wind and it was considered an emergency. The Village Council then called its insurance company to get authorization to pay for See Halloween, Page 2 Bike marathon trip suspended due to injuries, problems by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Because of injuries and other problems, two local men's dream of bicycling across the United State ended before they were able to reach their goal of traveling from California to Virginia Beach. Rod McMillon of Vermontville and Rick Vessechia of Nashville set off for their trek several weeks ago after at least a year of planning, praying and practic­ ing. The trip had been ex­ pected to last six weeks, but it ended soon after its start after the pair had gotten as far as Arizona. McMillon said he had thought about bicycling across the United States for several years before asking Vessechia to join him a year ago. His dream to begin the trek had been nearly destroyed along with his life eight years ago, when he was injured in a swimming pool diving accident. In July of 1985 McMillon was at a relative's swimming Nashville Lions Club member John Moore presents a check to Pennock Hospital Director of Nursing Perry Francisco and Rose Ann Woodliff, Emergency Room Nursing Manager (far left) as bikers Rick Vessechia and his wife, Cathy (far left) and Rod McMillon and his daughter, Keely look on. pool and tried to dive through an inner tube floating in the water. The dive went wrong and he ended up at the bottom of the pool with a broken neck. He had a partially frac­ tured dislocation of the cervi­ cal spine, pushing the C3 ver­ tebra and causing compres­ sion of the spinal cord. That injury was what part of what was to cause the journey to end prematurely after the two men left Nevada and were traveling in Arizona. "We were traveling on Route 66 and it was a very rough road," said McMillon. "My neck was really starting to hurt from all the bouncing around due to the roughness of the road. I decided it was time to stop." The pair already had trav­ eled nearly 135 miles that day and they said they were tired. Rod was partially dehydrated due to the heat and lack of shade. "It was at least 120 degrees and we were traveling through the desert," said Vessechia. "The water and Gatorade that we were carrying got so hot that we couldn't even drink it." They added that the combi­ nation of the heat and exhaus­ tion made it necessary for them to rest a least one and som^tiippg, two 'days, Jj.efore continuing their journey. "It was a great experience "We were getting way be­ and I wouldn't have given it hind on our schedule to com- up," added McMillon.

The insurance company then told the council that damages had not been caused by wind, and that the claim wouldn't be covered. Council members said that they felt that Pittsburgh Tank and Tower had misrepresented the damages and have since dropped the company as the village's repair crew. After listening to the lawyer Thursday, the council voted to write off the cost of the re­ pairs as a "bad experience." It was also decided that in the future an engineer will be consulted before any other re­ pair work is authorized on the water tower. The council reluctantly agreed to write it off as a "bad experience." In other business at Thursday's meeting, the coun­ cil: • Listened to a presentation by the Michigan Rural Water continued from front page Association On well head protection of local ground water from potential contamination problems. Council agreed to study the proposals and discuss them furartnhceer at another council u meeting. Council also will send someone to a well head protection seminar in Hickory Comers Nov. 10. • Adopted a resolution declaring October as Maple Valley Memorial Scholarship Fund month. Citizens are en­ couraged to donate to this fund, which gives money to Maple Valley High School graduates each year. A total of $19,000 has been awarded to 33 graduates since the fund started in 1987. • Announced that nominat­ ing petitions for next year's village primary election must be in no later than 4 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 30. Several council positions are up for election next year. • Discussed recent action by Americable to drop channels 3, 8 and 41 from their system and raise some rates depend­ ing on what service the cus­ tomer now has. Council members decided to form a committee to look into the possibility of passing an ordi- nance to regulate cable rates. They also will have the committee meet with a repre­ sentative from Americable to discuss these and other prob­ lems. • Discussed problems with the maintenance of West Street. Councilwoman Ruth Wineman reported that the road is in bad shape needs re­ pairs. It ends in a dead-end section with a privatelyowned drive at the end. The council voted to get bids on repairs and a survey to see where the road ends. The matter will be discussed at a future council meeting. • Named the construction companies being considered for the water main and side­ walk work, which will be paid for from the "Rebuild Michigan” grant received last year. Crews will be chosen as soon as the council reviews the references of the compa­ nies. • Voted to give the Public Works Department permission to hire someone to clean out the village sewer and catch basins.

The breathtaking beauty of fall leaves should not end in a plastic bag thoughtlessly toss­ ed in with this week’s trash. With time and miminal ef­ fort composting will turn that yard full of fallen color into what gardeners call “black gold.” Composting is the natural process of decay and recycl­ ing organic materials into a rich soil amendment. The decomposition process can be delayed and modified, but it can never be completely stop­ ped. Nature will eventually recover all organic waste. Because composting is a natural process, it can be car­ ried out with as little or as much attention as the composter desires. Composting is simply adjusting and balanc­ ing nutrients (organic wastes), moisture, air, temperature, and particle size to speed up the decomposition process. Follow these general prin­ ciples to make the fastest, trouble-free compost pile: 1) The best piles are made with a variety of compostable materials. 2) The smaller the pieces, the faster the decomposition. 3) Balance the carbon (browns: leaves, sawdust and wood chips) and nitrogen (greens: manure, grass clipp­ ings, vegetable scraps) con­ tent within the pile. The op­ timum ratio of carbon to nitrogen is 30:1. 4) Keep the compost moist but not soggy. Compost should be watered to the con­ sistency of a “wrung-out sponge. 5) Turn the pile often. A supply of oxygen to the in­ terior activates the bacateria which helps digest the ingre­ dients more rapidly. 6) Do not compost bones, meat, fat or grease; this will only attract unwanted pests. 7) Know where your raw ingredients are coming from and try to keep any her­ bicides, pesticides, or toxic substances from entering the pile. 8) Use soil or old compost as a “starter” or inoculant. The nutrients and microorganisms in soil and finished compost help start the decomposition process. For more details on how to make the best compost pile, contact the Eaton County MSU Extension office at 543-2310 or 372-5594. Introduction to Composting Class will be offered Oct. 29 and Nov. 9 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Eaton County Building, Charlotte. Contact the Extension office for registration details. Correction— A story in last week's Maple Valley News incorrectly reported that the Maplewood Elementary School's open house was held on Tuesday, Sept. 28. It was actually held on Thursday, Sept. 30. The teachers didn't attend the meeting because they had been advised by their union not to attend any non- contractual events due to not having contracts for this school year. The teachers added in their statement that though they didn't attend the meeting, they would be available at any other time that parents wished to contact them and that they were willing to cooperate in any way they could.

Jamesons to Ia rdelicneenstl”y heard the statement, “I only have time to read the headlines.” In my opinion, that is a dangerous habit. I would like to encourage all ‘ ‘life-long learners” to not only read the rest of the story, but to seek out the rest of the facts. Of course, I realize that those who only read the headlines and introduction may not be reading the rest of this article, but I hope that they will. A current example of a possibly misleading headline and in­ troduction was found last week in the Lansing State Journal. The introduction to an article read “Maple Valley Schools stand to gain $605 per student — a windfall of $1 million next year — as the biggest winner under Gov. John Engler’s new education plan.” In fairness, the headline was helpful in poin­ ting out that “Schools Skeptical — Windfall Not In Hand Yet.” We are certainly skeptical. This is the same governor who signed a recent state aid bill that left us with less state aid this year than we received last year, despite an increase in the “formula.” If the new plan continues along the lines of this year, we will be given an increase in the “up front” formula and decreases in the “back end” deductions. The state has been only too hap­ py to pull out the past supports, such as the low income revenue program, and add to the responsibilities assigned to the local schools, such as social security and retirement payments. It is difficult to know if the governor, his advisors and the legislators really know how these changes affect the operation of our schools. A Lansing reporter recently asked the state treasurer what the financial result of one of the governor’s pro­ posals would be. It was reported that he “confesses he hasn’t run the numbers.” We are working hard at seeing that “the numbers are run,” which means that we will know exactly what the result will be before we celebrate and support the new proposals. We hope that you will do the same and let our governor and legislators know that we want real equity, not just in the headlines. Headlines and introductions can be deceiving. It is important to read the entire article, as well as future articles on the same topic, if we are to determine the facts. Without the facts, it is not possible to make good decisons. Good decisions are necessary for good schools, communities and states. As our governor has said, “Our kids deserve better.” Let’s help assure that they get it.

I have been told by those of higher learning and in authority at Maple Valley Schools that I just don’t understand what I have done by voting “no” on the Headlee Override. It makes me wonder how we became so dumb in 1993 when in previous years we voted "yes” and were con­ sidered very informed and intelligent. Could it be that it is because we have said “no!” to those who are not used to being told "no?” I feel that people are becoming more informed now than in previous years and are sick and tired of continually higher costs for education while at the same time not realizing any higher standard of education. I believe I have read previous statements from the teachers or their union that they would be willing to have their raise based on the addi­ tional amount of money received by the school district or a wage freeze if added funds were not received. I’m now waiting for them to show their concern for the kids and in as much as we received less money, make their commit­ ment to education and take a pay reduction. But enough of this wishful thinking, as we know this will never happen. Take a cut in pay, “no way!” I have a hard time, as I’m sure do others when we keep hearing how bad the pay is in the district, yet the average number of years of service is 18 and the average pay is over $30,000 per eight months plus. We always hear that we are so much lower than most districts in the area. I then ask why they are still here and not where they say the grass is so much greener? I see that the school district is now going to give us another chance to override the Headlee Amendment. I don’t feel it will be based on our new enlightenment, but possibly on the fact that a large number of our homeowning, property tax paying senior citizens will have made their yearly trek to the sunny south with little or no thought about the vote on Nov. 11. Don’t forget to get your absentee ballot, as with this large base of taxpayers gone, it may be possible to get what they want, a “yes” vote. They tried this with the new school bonding and it didn’t work. Let’s make sure it doesn’t this time either. Show them we’re just as dumb this time around, vote no!

Maybe if the coaches put in the second or third string and gave them a chance, they would improve. Remember, practice makes perfect. I think sometimes the kid who plays all the time gets the idea he can’t be replaced. Wrong! I see even our best guys lost our last two games. What harm can there be in giving all the guys a chance? Is winning that important? Whatever happened to just having a good time! Come Monday afternoon practice, and the coach decides to work the team extra hard. All the boys work extra hard, not just the ones who played the whole game Friday night. I say all our boys should play in the game. If they practice the same, they should play the same. More emphasis on fairness should be considered and a lit­ tle less on always having to win. I wonder how the first str­ ing guys, coaches sons and their favorite players would feel if they were in these boys’ shoes for a change? I give all of the boys from pee wee on up to varsity a big hand for patiently waiting along the sidelines for their chance to play. My heart goes out to all of the moms and dads who sit in the crowd and watch all the other kids play. This is not just happening in football, nor is it just in boys’ sports. It is in all the sports. We need more equality in our sports. We all pay taxes and try to support our kids in one way or another. Some kids pay to play and others sell candy. I would say if we all do the same, we should all play the same. Living in a community that doesn't have much to offer our kids, we need to keep them involved in school ac­ tivities and sports. If these kids don’t have anything to do but stand on the sidelines and watch, they will soon get discouraged and quit. What then? Let’s put the fun back into football! A change is needed. We do have some good coaches and we have some great kids. We just need to get our priorities straight. Winning is great but not at the expense of another per­ sons feelings! Mrs. Diane Cousins Maple Valley Schools Nashville people raise $350 for Cystic Fibrosis victims Dear editor: 159 W. First St., Vermontville, MI Phone — 726-1297 I really don't know where to begin, except to say, I am very disappointed in the way the majority of the coaches in our community are coaching our teams. I started noticing this pro­ blem when I went to pee wee football games and I would see the same up through to varsity football. The problem is: if you aren’t on first string, the coach’s son, or the coach’s sons’ buddy, you don’t play enough to bother to come. I guess the old saying, “It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game,” just doesn’t apply any more. It is simply win, win, win! I know that winning is great, we all want to win, but what about all the boys who come to every practice? They put their hearts into it and what do they get? A few seconds on one play, or in many cases, the coaches are so absorbed in getting themselves another win that they don’t even bother to put them in. I hear some kids don’t show up for practice and because they are first string they still get to start.

Fall’s colorful leaves result of chemical changes As you are raking up this season's abundance of fallen leaves, have you ever won­ dered what makes them turn colors? This time of the year, most leaves turn a variety of colors ranging from brown to a red­ dish-purple. These color changes are the result of re­ placement of chlorophyll, which normally gives leaves a green hue. Chlorophyll is always pre­ sent in a healthy leaf, but the autumn season brings on a faster breakdown and the green starts to fade away. A substance called carotenoids is also present in leaves and these produce the yellow and orange pigments as the lack of chlorophyll causes the green coloring to fade. Red and purplish coloring is the result of the addition of compounds called antho­ cyanins, which are formed from sugars produced in the dying leaf. The brighter and clearer the autumn days, the more vivid the coloring. Brown leaves usually are caused by an early frost, which causes them not to take on their potentially brighter colors. Recreation Two passes by quarterback Keith Carpenter in the final seconds of the game Friday, one in the end zone and an­ other near it, were deflected, costing Maple Valley a tie and a possible victory over visiting Cassopolis.

She finished the sea­ son winning seven of eight encounters against female players from other teams. In the Michigan High School Athletic Association Class C regional tournament Saturday, the Lions finished fifth out of 19 schools and missed going to the state fi­ nals by four strokes. Detroit Country Day, Lake Trenton and Goodrich took the top three positions. Waara and Mace shot 93s and Steward and Hamilton shot 94s in the tournament. Maple Valley golf coach Mike Booher said the team has nothing to be ashamed of by not making it to the state finals. "The team's 12-1 record has only been bettered by the 1984 team, which went 16-0 in dual matches," Booher said. "The league championship is something they can be proud of the rest of their lives." Booher said that even though he has four graduating seniors, Steward, Hamilton, Byrd and Justin Thran, the fu­ ture still looks bright for the Lions because the junior var­ sity team was 12-0 this sea­ son. The jayvees played their last match against Middleville Oct. 5 and defeated them by 20 strokes, 186-206. Andy Cole led the team with a 45.

The extra point was good. They scored again on a 20yard run and Chris Miller blocked the extra point. "It was an exciting game to the end," said Maple Valley's head football coach, Guenther Mittelstaedt. "It was just that we came up a little short." He said the defense played a better game than last week, giving up 13 points compared to the 22 it let in last week to Olivet. Miller led the team with 16 tackles and Matt Reid had 11. Mittelstaedt also said Brent Stine, who punted four times and averaged 44.5 yards, and linebacker Dan Martin played good games. Pete Kellepourey had the lone interception for Maple Valley. Offensively for the Lions, Miller had nine carries for 59 yards and Cliff Weller carried 10 times for 26 yards to lead the team. Jon Mitchell had one reception for 34 yards. Maple Valley, now 3-3 this season, gets back into Southern Michigan Athletic Association play next week at Leslie. Mittelstaedt said he is hop­ ing the team, which hasn't had a losing season since the 1970s, will be able to get back on track. EWING WELL DRILLING , INC.

"He would do good manager might be able whatever duties the council See Ordinance adopted, Page 2 to earn his salary by theput on his shoulders." Ted Staff Writer The Maple Valley School Board Monday evening approved budget cuts totaling $135,050 if the Headlee override vote fails Nov. 11. The cuts included $87,550 if no new buses are bought, $3,000 for field trips, $1,000 for Project Close Up, $20,000 in reductions in operations and maintenance capital outlay, $16,000 in reductions in building level capital outlay, $2,000 for gifted and talented program substitutes, $2,000 in publication fees and the loss of $3,000 in conferences assigned by the administration. Voters will be asked on Thursday, Nov. 11, to allow the school to levy its full authorized millage through a waiver of the Headlee Amendment, which rolls back the school millage rate when property assessments rise faster than the rate of inflation. These approved cuts will go into place only if the Headlee override vote fails. This same proposal failed in June by a margin of 433 (no) to 301 (yes). The failure meant the loss of $150,225 in state and local aid, as it caused the millage rate to fall from 29.01 to 28.1397. If the measure were to pass in November, the millage rate would return to 29.01 and the district would get back the lost funding. Maple Valley also lost financially through a reduction this year in state aid. The district received $7,305.50 less than last year. The reduction in state aid is due to the failure in June to override the Headlee Amendment, new rulings that require the district to pay 25 percent of social security costs for all staff members, and new criteria for low income revenues that requires at least 23 percent of students to be enrolled in the free lunch or free milk programs. The .14 of 1 percent decrease in revenues means that the budget approved in June will not balance with a 5 percent equity fund as expected. The fund balance instead is expected to drop to 2 percent of the budget, at $124,557, at the end of the 1993-94 school year. In comparison, the equity fund stood at $715,508 at the end of the 1992-93 school year, a difference of $590,951. These figures are based on the June budget amounts and do not take into consideration any increases in teachers' salaries except for scheduled step increases. An attempt to recoup lost funding through increasing the number of students on the free lunch or free milk rolls also failed, though the district percentage went up from 13.5 percent of students enrolled to 20 percent. Since it didn't reach the required 23 percent, the school district doesn't recover any of the $189,000 lost through the change in low income funding criteria. Other funding was lost through a 20 percent cut in adult education revenues, which cost the district $31,694 from last year's amount. A total of $371, 797 in funding was lost, which caused the .14 of a percent loss over last year. Parks also spoke on Gov. John Engler's Oct. 5 speech on the state reform proposal. A story in the Lansing State Journal reported that based on Engler's proposals, Maple Valley schools are to receive $605 more per student next year. If this occurs. Maple Valley stands to get nearly one million dollars more in revenues.

It is called “SHARE.” The SHARE Mid-Michigan is funded through World Share headquartered in San Diego, Calif. Its objective is to pro­ vide wholesome food to peo­ ple at a reduced rate, in return for those people becoming in­ volved in their communities. Here’s how it works: You call the SHARE office in Lan­ sing at (517) 482-8900 to select a host site. In Eaton County, there are two newly established sites in Bellevue and Eaton Rapids. Once a host site has been selected, you visit the site the first week of every month. At the visit you may buy a $13 package of food, which is then ordered. The package of food has an actual store value of $30i to $35. (You may purchase as many $13 food packages as you would like.) Then, on Ithe third week of the month, you return to the host site to pick up your food. So what’s the catch? For every $13 food package you buy, you must volunteer two hours of your time in the com- munity during the month. You may already be involved in your community through libraries, civic organizations, churches, scout troops, 4-H, hospitals, schools, senior centers, and others. If you have not been involv­ ed, you may chose to be a volunteer at the host site, counting, weighing, and sor­ ting food for distribution. Each month the food package will contain fresh vegetables, fruits and meats. The September food package for $13 included: one pound cabbage, one bunch celery, one head lettuce, one head cabbage, four pounds potatoes, two pounds yellow onions, three pounds apples, 10 plums, 114 pounds dry kidney beans, one-third pound tub Parkay margarine, one package chili seasoning mix, one package combread mix, one bottle ranch dressing, 1 !4 pounds fish sticks, three pounds chicken thighs, one pound chicken breast strips, one pound pork sausage and one pound ground turkey. Host sites are still needed in other areas of the county. Call Mona Ellard, Eaton MSU Ex­ tension, if interested in star­ ting a program.

K O 8301 Valley, Vermontville (517)726-1102 CLOSED SUNDAY Staff Writer Maple Valley Adult Education and Community Enrichment Director Terry Mix presented his resignation to the school board Monday, but is considering maintaining his job on a part-time basis. Mix, who was hired to fill his present position two years ago, said that his resignation was due to the uncertainty of future financing for adult edu­ cation. "This has nothing to do with how I feel about Maple Valley," said Mix. "It is a matter ofjob security." Mix said that he has been offered a full-time position with the U.S. Postal Service in Hastings. He will be working there six days a week, between 40 and 50 hours a week.

The old saying “A little learning is a dangerous thing,” is showing itself true in current times. It has been obvious in the misuse of tests and tests scores. It has the potential to hurt our children and our schools. One example may be found in the speech on education our governor made on Oct. 5. He stated that “Only one in five tenth-graders has been passing our statewide mathematics test” and “In 253 districts, more than half of the incoming seniors could not pass the 10th grade test and earn a stateendorsed diploma.” What the governor didn’t say was that the math test to which he refers is only two years old, that it includes major changes in its approach, and that it is difficult. Nor did he point out that in schools like ours, 80 percent of the students had been pass­ ing the old test which was used for a number of years. The change to a new test with a different approach normally results in lower test scores. Anyone who knows anything about tests knows that a test is only considered fair and valid if it measures what students have been taught and has a reasonable degree of difficulty. Those of us who have examined the new test have found it to be much different and much harder than the previous test. We have revised our curriculum to help prepare our students for the test now that we know the new expectations. Another example of misuse is found in a mailing by one of our state senators. He states that since students in states such as Iowa and South Dakota are receiving higher SAT scores than in Michigan, money doesn’t make any difference. What he doesn’t say is that the SAt is a college entrance test which is used primarily in our east coast colleges and that the more rural the state, the lower the percentage of students who take the tests and the higher the average score is found to be. Few students in the other states mentioned take the SAT and those who do usually rank near the top of their class. While recognizing that our legislators have a tough challenge ahead to remake a system they developed over the years and then decided to change, we can’t allow our children to be hurt by their lack of knowledge about such important educational indicators as tests and test scores. The best defense against such abuse is for our people to become well informed regarding the facts. The misuse of tests may well become the latest form of abuse against our children and our schools.

TEAM DIXIE Many members of the congregation at your House of Worship are quite likely to be engaged In volunteer efforts to help those less fortunate than themselves. One project is collecting food, toys, and other Items for the needy; especially at holiday times. Another vital contribution comes from the women of the Dorcas Circle. At their own expense, they put their talents in sewing to work, making beautifully designed quilt, lap robes and other things, and distributing them to the poor. They are always looking for new members, and ifyou can thread a needle and have some time on your hands, you could probably qualify. Whatever all those unselfish, dedicated people do with their time, money and effort, they represent the finest example and result of the teachings of faith at your House of Worship. He who helps In the saving of others saves himself as well. — Hartmann Von Aue -Isaiah 41:6 Dick Tobias Church Schedules ST. CYRIL CATHOLIC CHURCH VERMONTVILLE BIBLE CHURCH 203 N.

Pat Powers, an emergency medical technician and Nashville's Assistant Fire Chief, spoke to children in developmental and regular kindergarten, second grade and fourth grade. Each year the Fire Department sends a representative to speak to stu­ dents during National Fire Safety Month. The third grade was skipped because the department alternates each year what grade levels they visit in order to make sure all students bear the lecture at least one or more times. Powers talked to the chil­ dren about using equipment such as fire extinguishers and smoke detectors, showed them how to put out a grease fire, told them how to watch out for younger children and let them see the fire engine and its gear. A major part of the lecture included a demonstration on how to get out of the bedroom in case of a fire in the home at night. Powers let children from the audience participate in the demonstration. Each child showed how they would escape from a fire if they heard their home smoke alarm go off when they were asleep. They learned that the first step is to feel the door to see if it was hot, then to stay low to the ground to avoid smoke and either crawl out the door if it is cool, or to go through a window if they can't use the door. Powers then reminded them that each family should have a plan on where to meet after Nashville Emergency Medical Technician and Assistant Fire Chief Pat Powers talks to students at Fuller Street Elementary School on fire safety in the home. everyone is out of the house. "Time, time, time is the key to escaping from a home fire," Powers told the students. "You usually only have five minutes to get out of the building in case of fire." Powers also stressed that prevention is most of the bat­ tle in fighting home fires and told the students several ways to prevent fires such as not us­ ing frayed or broken extension cords, not playing with lighters or matches and not getting too close to camp fires. Nashville Girl Scouts plan Halloween party One of the girls in the student audience" demonstrates how to escape through a bedroom window if the door is blocked due to the fire and smoke. — Nashville Girl Scouts will have their Halloween party Thursday, Oct. 21, at the Nashville Baptist Church after school. Girls should meet at the church and bring their costumes and 75 cents to make a Halloween necklace. Leaders are to bring ddughnuts and drinks will be provided.

Teachers attended a fiveday "Box it. Bag it" workshop in Grand Ledge during the summer to learn how to make and use the games. The title refers to the fact that the games must be boxed or bagged and stored in the classrooms. An example is a board game used to teach children the place value of numbers. "These games help moti­ vate the children to learn about math," said secondgrade teacher Cindy Baker. ANNOUNCING...

Scores available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is in response to Mr. Spidel’s message in the Oct. 12 issue of the Maple Valley News. I'd like to add a little clarification to a few of his comments and maybe a few facts along the way. I've broken down his letter into small segments and made comments accordingly. *... "Tired of continually higher costs for educa­ tion... not realizing any higher standards of education. ’ ’ Two points here: First, the costs of any business go up over a period of time. Schools are in the business of educating kids. New information, technology, and equipment is not possible without some sort of expense. If we want to be competitive in the business, schools need the right tools. It is similar to building a new home with on­ ly the use of hand tools. Effi­ ciency and skills are the key issues. We live in the 1990s. Teachers can’t teach with out­ dated materials and technology. Second, had Mr. Spidel been to the most recent Board of Education meeting when Dr. Parks gave the annual education report, he would know that Maple Valley is consistently doing better every year in MEAP scores. These are the tests that our governor uses to measure outcomes/qualities in education. New curriculums are being implemented in most classes and more students are pursu­ ing higher education after high school than just a few years ago. Maple Valley is on the right path for educating our young people. *..."[ have a hard time hearing how bad the pay is in the district, yet the average years of service is 18...why are they still here and not where the grass is so much greener? I’m now waiting for them to show concern for the kids. I also have a few words for that quotation. Let us first discuss the pay situation. I don’t believe that any staff person has ever asked to get rich from a contract. All they want is financial equality among peers in their profes­ sion in relationship to area and district size. You may or may not remember but, several years ago some of the present staff did take a pay freeze to aid the financially stressed district, even though their cost of everyday living didn’t “freeze.” Furthermore, coaches also donated some or all of their pay back to the district. I don’t believe they ever made up that loss. Next, when it comes to con­ cerns about education and the dedication of the staff, the numbers speak for themselves. When the average staff has 18 years within the district, they’ve obviously made a commitment to educa­ tion at Maple Valley. These people have basically eliminated the constant transi­ tion from a rapid turnover of staff and have unity and con­ sistency to education here at Maple Valley. If teachers wouldn’t come here because the pay was too low, then there probably wouldn’t be a Maple Valley due to lack of staff. Then the district might be split between our two largest neighbors. Then we would really see a different tax situation. The teachers and staff are here for ■ NOTICE • The Village of Vermontville will begin construction of sidewalks and water mains on some sections of the follow­ ing streets beginning October 21,1993: East Main North Main West Main Forrest Seminary Nut Walnut Elm Washington the kids and they enjoy their careers. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be the commitment we see in the many years of service by the staff. Finally, I’m not going to tell anyone how to vote. Voting is an act of one’s conscience and rational judgment. No single person should demand you to vote one way or another. However, I will encourage everyone to vote on Nov. 11 and consider the override. If this fails, you aren’t hurting the staff at Maple Valley schools, but the kids are the ones who ultimately lose out. They are the ones who see the cuts in field trips, supplies in the classroom, etc. Until our state government gets its act together, we need to support our schools locally to make it through these tough times.

After apparently tackling Leslie's quarterback in the end zone, the officials ruled the runner's forward motion had brought him out to the sixinch line and no safety had been scored. The play had been set up af- ter Leslie's Chuck Chesney scored with 4:36 in the game on a 29-yard run. A pass from Scott Debruler to Jerry Reed completed the two-point con­ version and Leslie led by one. The Lions marched down field and had made it as far as the three-yard line before Leslie forced a fumble and took over the ball. The Lions' only score came with 10:12 left in the first half when quarterback Keith Carpenter hit Cliff Weller for 73 yards and a touchdown. Carpenter kicked the extra point. In the third quarter, the Lions were, intercepted in the end zone to stop a drive. Weller was the offensive dynamo for the Lions, catch­ ing five passes for 110 yards and carrying the ball five times for 16 yards.

M.V. Jaycees plan Halloween in the Park in Vermontville A primary election to decide the Republican Party nomination for Third District Congressman will be held from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. next Tuesday, Nov. 2. Eight Republicans will vie for the nomination to fill the seat vacated by the death July 31 of Paul Henry. The winner of next Tuesday’s runoff will face Democrat Dale Sprik and independent Dawn Krupp in the general election Dec. 7. The district includes all of Kent and Ionia counties, the City of Hastings, Irving, Rutland, Woodland, Hastings and Castleton townships and about two-thirds of Hope Township in Barry County. The eight GOP hopefuls are: — Vernon Ehlers, a former Calvin College professor and state representative, now a state senator since 1985. — P. Richard Dean, a retired salesman who served on the Barry County Board of Commissioners and was a township supervisor. — Glen Steil, a Grand Rapids area businessman who led the successful fight last year for term limits for politicians. — Kenneth Sikkema, a state representative in a district just west of Grand Rapids since 1987, after he upset incumbent Democrat Jelt Sietsmea. — Mike Maxfield, businessman and former Kent County GOP Chairman. — Marge Byington, on leave as deputy director of the Michigan Department of Commerce and a former chairwoman of the Kent County Board of Commissioners. — Thomas Heintzleman, a Grand Rapids area attorney and former federal employee. — David VerMeulen, a Grand Rapids area man who is running a campaign on a budget of less than $5,000. All have appeared at a number of public forums. They all agree on several ma­ jor points: — They oppose President Clinton’s health care reform plan, his foreign policy deci­ sions and his economic package that barely passed Congress. — They generally support the North American Free Trade Agreement. — They believe there is a crisis in public confidence in elected officials. — They believe reduciong the deficit is the top priority of government. — They are opposed to abortion. However, there are some differences. Dean likes to call himself the “common man.” Byington is in favor of gun control. Ehlers calls on his ex­ perience in government. Sikkema talks about his ex­ perience, energy and commit­ ment. Steil has been hammer­ ing away at free-spending politicians. Maxfield calls at­ tention to his business ex­ perience and conservative values. Voters must choose one of the eight on Nov. 2. Maple Valley celebrates school’s Homecoming with big parade The Maple Valley High School junior's float travels down Main Street in Nashville during the 1993 Homecoming parade prior to Friday's football game.

"We've been coming to this school district off and on for about 15 years," said Delores Vanderlip, wife of puppet maker Gilbert Vanderlip. "We did 'Rumpelstiltskin' here last year and have done perfor­ mances at Kellogg and Maplewood in the past." The Vanderlips travel all over Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Texas to put on the puppet shows for children. They started their business 20 years ago with the marionette-style characters used in their sto­ ries. "We try to put on the classi- cal stories for the children," said Gilbert The Vanderlips sometimes add one of their own special characters. In their version of "Cinderella" for example, there is Larry the pet lizard who helps Cinderella scare away the step sisters and later becomes her coachman when she goes to the ball. After the performance, the children got a chance to ask questions about the puppets and the show. Obituaries The Van Dee Puppets put on the classic story, "Cinderella* for the students at Fuller Street Elementary School last week. Donna M. Sixberry Donna M.

Levi McIntyre's balloon traveled from Vermontville to a sod farming district between Morrice and Bancroft, Mich. He got a letter from Morrice resident Elizabeth Poe, who found his tattered balloon while walking through the woods. It was the second balloon letter that Poe had found this year. She described the area in which she found the balloon and told McIntyre that she almost didn't see the note inside because it had become separated from the balloon and was hard to read due to its condition. "The balloon appears to have paralleled Route 69 from Vermontville," said Maplewood fifth-grade teacher Bob Smith. "We have learned that next year's letter's should be laminated to protect them better and make them easier to read." The idea for the balloon launch came after kids in the classes of Smith and another fifth-grade teacher, Lori Bunker, read a story titled, "The Wreck of the Zephyr." The story was a fantasy about flying ships, which gave them the idea of flying the balloons. Josh McIntyre, a fifth-grader at Maplewood, holds up a letter he got in response to a letter he sent off in a helium balloon last month. He is pointing to the city of Morrice, where the letter writing lives. Halloween customs from around the world The presente debate on school reform isues raises some in­ teresting questions about the business of education. Our governor prompted a question about whether or not uncertified people could teach school effectively in his recent speech to the legislature. In recommending charter schools which “would be freed up from some of the bureaucratic rules and regulations,’’ he recommended allowing such people as Lee lacocca and General Colin Powell to teach without the “unnecessary restrictions” of being trained to teach. A few days after the governor’s speech, a legislator reportedly became very upset at an educator who did not think that reducing the standards for teachers was a good idea. The legislator’s quoted response was that he felt qualified to teach because he had been, among other things, a police officer and sold real estate. With no disrespect intended to those who are police officers and realtors, how many standards do these professions have in common with teaching? Because I know how to do some of the things that police officers and realtors can do, should I not have to prove to be qualified to do the rest of their duties? I have dissected a frog and a cat, are you ready for me to operate on you? Unfortunately, teaching is perceived by many to be primari­ ly just lecturing. Research indicates that lecturing is one of the latest effective teaching methods and is only a small part of ef­ fective teaching. A recently received document from the State Board of Education entitled “Entry-Level Standards for Michigan Teachers” lists some skills which beginning teachers are ex­ pected to possess. The list includes the ability to: 1. Understand and apply knowledge of human growth, development, and learning theory. 2. Demonstrate appropriate classroom management and disciplinary techniques to ensure a safe and orderly environ­ ment which is conducive to learning. 3. Use multiple approaches to appropriately assess student abilities and needs to plan instruction. 4. Integrate and transfer knowledge across subject areas and encourage the same among students. 5. Plan and use different cognitive, affective, and psychomotor strategies to maximize learning and to accom­ modate differences in the backgrounds, learning styles, ap­ titudes, interests, levels of maturity and achievement of students. 6. Create inclusionary environments for students with excep­ tional needs and abilities. 7. Interact with parents to maximize the learning of students at school, home, and in the local community. Despite the fact that the above list is only a fraction of the 47 prescribed standards, I believe that it helps to show that there is more to teaching than just knowing the facts and lecturing. An old adage states “Don’t tear down a fence until you know what it is there for.” If we allow untrained people to assume the responsibilities for teaching our children, we may expect to find out why the “fence” of standards was built. Despite the fact that teaching may look easy on the surface, just like appendectomies, effective instruction is complex. As we continue to expect more of education, we need higher stan­ dards — not lower ones.

My candle glows brightly through my features, which were lovingly cut by the little boy who lives in my house. Just think! Only this morn­ ing I was a lowly pumpkin and tonight I will reign as King of the Jack-O-Lantems! Halloween is Oct. 31, the night when everything from ghosts and goblins to crew members of the Starship Enterprise will go through my gates and shout the famous cry of "Trick or Treat!” If you can hear me amid the demons' and devils' screams, I will tell you how this hideously wonderful holiday began. First, if I were in Scotland, I would be talking to you from the body of a turnip, for that is what is used there instead of a pumpkin. How strange. To me, pumpkins are best. Halloween started way back with the Celtics and the an­ cient Druids. These groups held a festival for their god of death, Samheim. It was called Summer's End. This custom was celebrated in a similar way in old Britain and Scotland. The custom of dressing up in costumes and receiving sweets, as are these screaming ghosts and goblins around me, originated in Scotland in the 19 th century. It was believed that if one either gave the demons sweets that they loved, or dressed up as one of them, that they would bj safe from harm on Halloween night. The idea of giving an apple as a Halloween treat origi­ nated in Rome. It was done in remembrance of the goddess of gardens and orchards, Pomonia. Halloween probably came to the United States through the customs of the people who have settled here. Ah well, my stories could go on forever with tales of centuries past when my spirit wreaked havoc amidst many a brilliant full moon on Halloweens past. But the dawn grows near and my night to reign is nearly over. Although this body that I inhabit will crumble and turn to moldy orange, my spirit will continue to chill the soul this time next year. For I will not have died, only returned to the world on the other side until next Halloween. So beware, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 4-H dog project leaders to meet There will be a 4-H Dog Leader’s meeting Wednesday, Oct. 27 at 6:30 p.m. at the Ex­ tension office located north of Barry-Eaton Health Depart­ ment on Courthouse Drive.

Dave Roever was a young soldier in Vietnam when over 40 percent of his skin was burned off by a grenade ex­ ploding in his hand. He went blind in his right eye and deaf in his right ear. Roever’s testimony about not only his physical recovery, but his emotional and spiritual healing is dramatic. Through the faithfulness of God and the loving support of his wife, Brenda, he has experienced a restoration so complete that his message has been heard around the world — a message that can bring healing for the deep emotional, mental and spiritual scars tormenting to­ day’s generation. “Scars that Heal” shares this true story through Roever's own words. While on the outside, he remains scarred from the grenade, he says, “My soul is not scarred. My spirit is not patched together... I’m proud of my scars and stripes. Maybe my life hasn’t been easy but these scars tell a story.” PUMPKINS Enjoy Halloween at Caleb’s Plenty of pumpkins for everyone. 10' pound, even cheaper by the armful. All you can carry for $5.95.

It is very difficult, at least from a distance, to be anything but appalled by the collective behavior of the Maple Valley teachers, In most service professions the client comes first. In the case of teachers, the clients are the students. If the students receive a high quality education from dedicated and capable teachers, the teachers earn the respect of the students and the community. When millage votes and other actions that directly affect teachers occur, the majority of the community will support the teachers because of this earned reputation. I can assure you that this is the process used in the private business community on a na­ tionwide basis. Those who are successful do not demand salary increases, they put themselves in a position where the employer appreciates and respects their performance Headlee override Is tor less than a mill Dear editor: I have lived in the Maple Valley School district for 17 years. I have seen many school millage elections come and go. In one election, we as voters, voted to allow 29.01 mills to go to our schools. In another, the Headlee Amend­ ment was allowed to be im­ plemented. It rolls back the millage rate to 28.1397. If we vote to override the Headlee Amendment, we save $135,000 in budget cuts. If we don’t override there will be budget cuts, but our taxes will be a little lower. Only a little, because it’s less than one mill. Every time there is a millage vote, we have letters written, that say our com­ munity is too poor to raise millages, and that a lot of peo­ ple do not have jobs. It seems to me that if we could keep the 29.01 mills, and override the Headlee Maple Valley Athletic Boosters MAPLEBINGO VALLEY H.• S6:15 . CAFETERIA THURSDAY P.M.'

It is important that we give our children every opportuni­ ty to be employable. Vote “yes” on Nov. 11. Pam White Nashville and is anxious to make funds available for raises. I wonder what would hap­ pen if teachers made no demands for raises, yet the education provided to the children was so outstanding that the community wanted tax revenues to be adequate for salary levels that attracted and retained the best teachers available. Behavior such as that detail­ ed in the above mentioned ar­ ticle certainly cannot inspire confidence and respect of the teachers. I submit that once the teachers work to attain the lever of professionalism, dignity and competence ex­ pected of them, the focus on salary increases will be unnecessary. In other words, do an outstanding job and demands will not be needed. Mike Cogswell Maple Valley Class of 1965 Knightdale, N.C. The Rev. Steve Pennington, newly approved Assemblies of God missionary to East Africa, will be the featured guest speaker at Nashville Assembly of God, 735 Reed St., Nashville, on Wednes­ day, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m., ac­ cording to the Rev. Al Eastman, pastor. Pennington and his wife, Trina, have a burden to share the gospel in this region where war, disease and famine have ravaged the lives of millions. “After visiting East Africa in 1982,” Steve shares, “I began to sense a strong burden. Trina and I attended a college that really emphasized missions. •She received her call as a little girl. The call in her life was strengthened in college and further guided by the Holy Spirit through impact seminars. While in college, I worked in special short-term ministries. This further con­ firmed and strengthened my call.” The Assemblies of God have been reaching out to the people of East Africa for decades, and several countries in the region have become fruitful harvest fields. The East Africa School of Theology in Nairobi, Kenya, is training men and women to share the gospel in their home regions. Some of these places are virtually inaccessible to Western missionaries. Steve and Trina will be looking for ways to share the gospel in new areas of the region. Much of their ministry will be simple, straightfor­ ward friendship evangelism. “We are going to be work­ ing with a virtually unreached people group,” Steve emphasizes.

State’s small grain production down Though winter wheat, oats, barley and rye looked good early in the season, yields and production ended the season well below last year, accor­ ding to the Federal/State Michigan Agricultural Statistics Service. Disease and weeds caused most of the reduced yields as well as poor quality. An ex­ tremely wet August also prevented a timely harvest of the oat crop. Michigan’s winter wheat production was estimated at 22.1 million bushels, down 37 percent from last year. The crop was harvested from 540,000 acres with a yield of 41 bushels per acre. This was the lowest yield since 1982. Oat production, at 7.2 million bushels, was down 15 percent from 1992. Yields averaged 55 bushels per acre for the 130,000 acres harvested, compared to an average yield of 70 bushels per acre a year ago. Barley yields dropped eight bushels per acre from last year, to 54 bushels, causing production to decline 13 per­ cent to 1.5 million bushels. Rye production was estimated at 420,000 bushels, down 15 percent from 1992. Yield was forecast at 28 bushels per acre, three bushels less than the previous year, but eight bushels more than the yield of 1991. Nationally, 1993 winter wheat production was estimated at 1.77 billion bushels, up 10 percent from 1992. Yields averaged 40.3 bushels per acre with area harvested for grain placed at 43.9 million acres. Production of oats in 1993 was estimated at 208 million bushels which is the lowest production since estimates were first made in 1866. Area harvested for grain, at 3.81 million acres, was down 15 percent from last year and is a record low. Barley was harvested from 7.06 million acres in 1993, producing 416 million bushels of grain, down 9 percent from 1992. Rye production decreased 13 percent from a year ago, to 10.3 million bushels. Harvested area was 381,000 acres, while planted area, at 1.49 million acres was the smallest on record.

Maple Valley had nine first downs, St. Philip had 12; Maple »fc; J^wii Valley had 39 rushing at­ tempts for 167 yards, St. Philip had 38 rushes for 166; both teams were 40 percent in passing completions with St. Philip gaining 41 yards to the Lions' 23. Each team was intercepted twice and each lost one fum­ ble. The difference was that Maple Valley was intercepted on the Tigers' two-yard line to stop one of its drives, while both of interceptions made by the Lions came near midfield. Leading rusher for the Lions was Mike Kuempel with 65 yards on nine carries. Pete Kellepourey carried 11 times for 49 yards and Cliff Weller rushed 10 times for 33 yards. Todd Davis caught two passes for 32 yards. Defensively for the Lions, Chris Miller had 11 tackles and Brent Stine, Chuck Brand and Matt Reid each had eight.

Some citizens in the audi­ ence were concerned over the expected increase in truck traffic and one asked if haz­ ardous waste would be han­ dled. Balagna answered that Barry County was not li­ censed to take in hazardous waste and that was taken care of at a special facility in Detroit. He added that though there would be increased truck traf­ fic, that it would not be a large number since bigger trucks would be used to transport the waste. "Barry County waste would come first,” said Balagna. "We are committed to a 20­ year contract with Hastings." A 13-year capacity is esti­ mated left at the present rate of trash burials.

That recommendation was to “run with patience.” Our society has a tendency to want to fulfill its desires and reach its goals now. For example, our legislature is attempting to change the way education has been carried out in our state for decades in a matter of months. There is a lot of running go­ ing on, but little patience is being practiced in arriving at sound improvements. I am reminded of the story of the new gardener who was fin­ ding that his plants were dying. When he consulted with an ex­ pert as to the reason, the gardener stated that he had conscien­ tiously pulled up the plants every so often to see if the part below the surface was growing. Obviously his lack of patience killed the plants. We only need to look at the confusion caused in Florida to see what can happen when patience is not exercised. In that state the legislature rushed in a required competency test for seniors. Failure to pass the new test meant that seniors could not graduate. When many students could not pass the new test, some parents took die issue to court. The courts ruled that students couldn’t be held accountable for knowing given material until they had been provided with an opportunity to learn it. This meant that the curriculum needed to be aligned with what was tested and the instruction must be effectively provided. Much time, effort and money was wasted because of impatience. Educators are running more than ever today to find ways to help every child become a success in the classroom and in the job market. As you will note in our recent newsletter key in­ dicators provide evidence of our success at the local level. These improvements have resulted from three years of running with patience. The examples of the gardener, the Florida legislature and our local experience should serve to remind us that im­ provements normally require time and patience. Haste makes waste. Let’s run a good race toward improving our schools, with the patience necessary to do the job right the first time. HERE’S WHY!!

Anything stating “millage” in the Maple Valley area generally acquires a “no more money” attitude. If this override should pass, our schools will be able to levy the full, previously voted millage amount of 29.01 mills. A property owner will pay an additional $19.21 per State Equalized Value of $20,000. Is that too much to give to continue quality education? We don’t have the extra one million dollars we may gain if Gov. Engler’s school reform package passes. What we do have are over 1,600 students who deserve the continuation of a good, solid education.

After reading all the recent letters to the editor pertaining to the Headlee override, then spreading to the commitment of teachers, I feel compelled to state a few facts in regards to suggestions our MEAP test scores have been consistently on the rise. In January 1993, the Lans­ ing State Journal placed a list of 25 area schools and how they had performed on the ‘92-93 MEAP tests. After hearing the comments of how good ours have been, this may change your mind some. In the overall ranking of these 25 schools we stand 23rd, which is not something to be proud of.

Governor Nick Jones (far left) stands with his campaign (from left) Mike Lara, Lieutenant Governor Ryan Stamm and campaign governor Michigan manager manager Billy Beden. by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Fuller fourth-graders in Patty Retzer and Pat Hansen's classrooms are learning about government as part of their unit on Michigan Social Studies. Students in Retzer's room held a race for a governor and lieutenant governor of the class. The chosen candidates ran campaigns with the help of campaign managers. Each candidate had to write an essay on "What I Would Do As Governor." They also gave short speeches and the campaign managers helped make posters. After the cam­ paigns were over, the class voted through a secret ballot system. Nick Jones was chosen as governor and Ryan Stamm as lieutenant governor. Their campaign managers were Mike Lara and Billy Beden. The class also will learn to write laws and see how the governor presides over a legislature with senators and representatives. Students in Hansen's room chose their teacher as their governor. The children simu­ lated making a bill into a law as part of their studies. They first watched a movie on how a bill becomes a law and were then divided into four groups: Democratic House and Senate and House and Republican Senate. Each group wore appropri­ ate donkey or elephant name tags to show which group they represented. The Democrats and Republican 1 BURT PLUMBING — MASTER PLUMBER — Repair • Remodeling • New Reasonable Rates • Free Estimates (517) 852-9117 — NASHVILLE — j groups then met separately and brainstormed ideas for their debates. The House debated first and then voted. The vote was a tie, so in a real life situation, the bill would have died. Since this was a simulation, the Senate was allowed to debate and vote on the bill. The Senate passed the bill and the House was given an­ other chance to vote on it. This time the House passed the bill and it went on to Governor Hansen, who signed it into a law. "This was a great learning experience and the class had a lot of fun," said Hansen. Fourth-graders in Pat Hansen's class also were studying government. Their elected officials included their teacher as governor, as well as members both Republican and Democratic representatives and senators (front, from left) Ashley Fox, Ashley Gardner, Samantha McIntyre, Devin Phenix, Darin Thrun, Chris Halliwill, (second row, from left) Daniel Mace, Samantha Curtis, Kellen Dunkelberger, Jessica Chaffee, Melinda Powers, (third row, from left) David Rumsey, Laura Wyman, Ryan Goris, Devon Augustine, (fourth row, from left) Bethany Boyce, Kari Matson, Paul Felder, Jason Belcher, Terra Sulcer, and Michael Hill.

Some of the Nashville Little League Football players come up on stage to receive their certificates of participation and medals from their coaches during an awards ceremony held at the Maple Valley High School last week. by Teresa Frith Staff Writer The Nashville Little League football season ended last Tuesday evening with an awards ceremony Tuesday night at the Maple Valley Jr.Sr. High School auditorium. Coach Roger Adams opened the ceremonies by thanking local businesses that sponsored the league and pre­ sented them with certificates and Nashville Little League baseball caps. Having spon­ sors is something new. In past years the league and its play­ ers had sold sausage and cheeses to raise money. Adams also gave out certificates for free ice cream to the people who helped the league raise money through a pop can collection earlier this year. The boys and their parents then listened as Maple Valley High School varsity footballcoach Guenther Mittelstaedt and several senior players talked about what football has meant to them. Then the Little League teams were called up on stage with their coaches to receive certificates of participation and medals. About 90 boys in grades three through eight participated in Little League football this year and attended a special football camp before the season began Sue Dunham was honored during the night for her 12 years of service on the board. She retired as a board member at the end of this season. The league now is selling a variety of sports related clothing and sports bags with the Nashville Little League logo.

In the matchup against Lansing, the Lady Lions held the Lady Pilgrims' leading scorer, Havilah Cunningham, who averages more than 26 points per game, to 21 points. Maple Valley got off to a slow start, making only two baskets in the first quarter, before recovering in the second period and outscoring Lansing 17-14. The Lady Lions shot 7 for 47 in the first half and were down 28-21 at the mid-point of the game. The Lady Lions then shook loose from their lethargic first half and scored 18 in the third and 20 in the fourth quarter to cap the victory. The Lady pilgrims scored 12 in the third and four in the fourth. Against Bath, the Lady Bees were able to score 10 points in overtime, including 6 of 8 free throws, while the Lady Lions were unable to put anything through the net. Maple Valley started the fourth period with a fourpoint lead, but, according to coach Jerry Reese, "Bath started making some pretty good shots." The Lady Bees took the lead, but with four seconds left on the clock, Joyelle Stine pulled up short of the threepoint line and swished in a triple to tie the score at the end of regulation. The loss drops the Lady Lions to 10-6 this season. The game against Bath was nonconfcrence so Maple Valley remains at 6-2 in the Southern Michigan Athletic Association.

TED SPOELSTRA, Secretary, Board of Education �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 2, 1993 — Page 12 Maple Valley falls to undefeated Penn field A fumble late in the game and an unseen face mask infraction, stopped a Maple Valley drive and a possible victory over Pennfield, Friday night as the Lions lost their final game of the year, 18-14. The Panthers led 14-12 at the half, but neither team was able to score in the third. In the fourth, the Panthers' Joel Sleeper ran in for the go- ahead touchdown, which gave the seventh-ranked Pennfield team an undefeated regular season. "The entire defense played a very good game," said coach Guenther Mittelstaedt. "They have every reason to be proud of how well they played and they finished the season in a very respectable way." The Lions had a chance late in the game to go ahead, but Pete Kellepourey, for the first time all year, fumbled the football after making a first down. Another first down was not allowed after Maple Valley was penalized for holding, but what would have been an offsetting penalty of incidental face masking by Cliff Weller get a hand from a Pennfield player, but a flag wasn't thrown and the drive was stopped.

(Photo by Perry Hardin) • MAPLE VALLEY SCHOOLS • PUBLIC HEARING Oil INCREASING PROPERTY TAXES PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on November 11, 1993 at 8:00 p.m. at the jr/sr high school library, the Board of Education of Maple Valley Schools, will hold a public hearing on the levying in 1993 of an additional proposed millage rate of 0.8703 of a mill for operating purposes pursuant to Act 5, Public Acts of Michigan, 1982. The Board of Education has the complete authority to establish that 29.01 mills be levied in 1993 if an election proposal of .8703 of a mill receives a favorable vote. The maximum additional proposed millage rate would increase revenues for operating purposes from ad valorem property tax levied in 1993 otherwise permitted by Act 5, Public Acts of Michigan, 1982, by three and fourth tenths percent (3.4%). If the additional proposed millage rate is not approved, the school district’s revenue from property taxes for the 1993-1994 fiscal year will be five percent (5%) higher than the district’s revenue from property taxes for the immedi­ ately preceding fiscal year. This procedure is required by law to enable the school district to levy millage that may be approved by voters at the election on November 11, 1993. No millage will be levied which has not been approved by the voters. The purpose of the hearing is to receive testimony and discuss the levy of an additional millage rate. Not more than (10) days after the public hearing, the Board of Education may approve all or any portion of the proposed additional millage rate. The date and location that the Board of Education plans to take action on the resolution approving the additional proposed millage rate will be announced at the public hearing. This notice is given by order of the Board of Education. Ted Spoelstra, Secretary Pennfield was missed by the officials. Maple Valley opened the scoring with after a successful Statue of Liberty play set up an eight-yard Keith Carpenter pass to John Mitchell who hit pay dirt with 8:04 left in the first quarter. Carpenter also kicked the extra point. The Statue of Liberty play is when the quarterback fades back like he wants to pass, but while his arm is cocked to throw, a running back takes the ball out of his hand and runs. On the fourth and one play. Cliff Weller took the ball from Carpenter and scampered 20 yards for the first down. The Panthers got their side of the scoreboard lit up when Sleeper ran in from ten yards out with 5:30 left in the first. The pass for the two-point conversion was no good. Rich Furlong had his number called in the first quarter and he ran 75 yards for the score. Carpenter again kicked the extra point. Bart Leonard brought the Panthers within two, when he ran in from 13 yards out with 9:22 left in the second quarter. The two-point conversion pass attempt failed. Maple Valley led in all statistics but the most important one, gaining 10 first down to Pennfield's seven, rushing for 268 yards versus 209 and controlling the ball for the greater portion of the game. Leading rusher for the Lions was Furlong with seven carries for 97 yards. Cliff Weller had 13 carries for 75 yards, Mike Kuempel ran nine times for 34 yards and Kellepourey ran three times for 25 yards. Weller also caught two passes for 29 yards, Jon Mitchell caught three for 23 yards and Kellepourey had two receptions for 14 yards. Ben Kuempel caught, one interception for the Lions and ran it back 12 yards. Defensively for the Lions, Chris Miller led the team with 13 tackles, Matt Reid had 11, Kellepourey had nine, Brent Stine had seven and Mitchell had six. The Lions end the season at 2-7 with all but one loss being by a touchdown or less.

South M-37 — Hastings �The Maple Volley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 2, 1993 — Page 14 Maple Valley FFA helps test new soybean varieties by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Maple Valley FFA mem­ bers are helping the Ciba Seed Company of Lansing test new varieties of soybeans by growing six different types of seeds in a research evaluation plot in the school's land lab. "We enjoy working with the school's agriculture program," said Rusty Thompson of Ciba Seeds. "I'm a former ag teacher and I know what goes into teaching agriculture and natural resources. I miss being in the classroom." For the first time FFA stu­ dents will not only learn the art of farming, but also help develop better crops for the future. The seeds for the pro­ ject were donated by Ciba through Citizens Elevator in Vermontville. They included two commercial varieties of soybeans and four new exper­ imental types. "I enjoy getting my students involved in new projects," said FFA advisor Ron Worth. 'This is the first year for a test plot. In the past we just planted and harvested a crop." "It is a win-win situation for everyone," added Thompson. "We are always looking for opportunities to work with groups like the FFA. It helps us see how the crop develops under farming conditions and it helps the students learn about it." Ciba is testing and evaluat­ ing the crop for yield, stabil­ ity, shatter loss and dry down quality. The experimental va­ rieties were developed within the last three to four years, ac­ cording to Thompson. The five-acre plot produced about 33 bushels to the acre, which will be worth $5.80 a bushel to the FFA.The local chapter will be allowed to keep all the profits from the sale of the soybeans. The av­ erage moisture content was 11.1 percent and the total test weight was 57.7 pounds. "This project helps the stu­ dents learn more about what to grow and how to do re­ search," said Worth. "They are also learning about con­ servation, tillage and how to limit erosion." Some of the area farmers who helped with the donation of equipment, planting and combining were John Cripe and Dwayne Davidson. "This was a good bean year," said combine operator Davidson. "The yields should have been alittle higher, but were surpisingly good consid­ ering the weed population." Ten different varieties of corn will be grown during next year's project. "Next year the FFA will be working with Northrup King on no-till corn on clay soil," said Worth. "This will be a whole different bailgame than what we see on the sandy soils near the school."

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 122 - No. 16 - uesay, ovem er , Schools face cuts If local Headlee override falls by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Voters in the Maple Valley school district Thursday will be asked to override the Headlee Amendment or the schools will face budget cuts totaling $135,000. The schools are holding the special election to try to re­ coup revenues lost through last June's failure to override Headlee. The June vote failed by a margin of 433 (no) to 301 (yes). The failure meant the loss of $150,122 in state aid and local revenues, as it caused the millage rate to fall from 29.01 to 28.1397. After the Fourth Friday head counts were taken at the schools in September, it was determined that nearly $58,000 less would be received compared to last year's figures, according to the Nov. 1 district school newsletter. If the amount of state aid is calculated separate from local property tax levies and new costs are included, the district expects to receive a total of $163,595 less than last year. "The state hasn't sent us sufficient funds to operate our schools," said Maple Valley Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks. "In order to keep our present programs running we The state hasn’t sent us sufficient funds to operate our schools. In order to keep our present programs running, we have no choice but to turn to the local taxpayers. have no choice but to turn to the local taxpayers." The reductions are due not only to the June failure to the override Headlee Amendment, but also because of new rulings that require the district to pay 25 percent of social security costs for all staff members and new criteria for low income revenues that require at least 23 percent of students to be enrolled in the free lunch or free milk programs. Maple Valley's total was 20 percent of students enrolled in the free programs, therefore it didn't qualify for the low in­ come aid this year. Voters will be asked to allow the school to levy its full authorized millage through a wavier of the Headlee Amendment, which rolls back the school millage rate when property assessments rise faster than the rate of infla­ tion. If voters approve the override, the millage rate will rise from 28.1397 to 29.01, an increase of .9603 of a mill. By allowing the district to levy its full authorized mil­ lage, the school stands to re­ gain $81,371 from the state and $68,854 locally for a total of $150,122. This means, for example, that a property owner with an SEV of $20,000 would pay an addi­ tional $19.21 a year in taxes. "This is important now and in the future," said Parks. "We can't wait and see what will happen because we are unsure of what will happen with funding next year." The board-approved cuts include $87,550 for new See override, Page 2 A Nashville resident fills out papers in the voting line at Castleton Township as he prepares to vote in last week's election for Third District Congressman. Ehlers wins District election but Dean takes Barry County Though State Senator Vernon Ehlers captured the Republican Party nomination for Third District Congressman in the Nov. 2 special primary election, Barry County went for its "favorite son," P. Richard Dean. Ehlers finished first among eight candidates with about 33 percent of the vote in the district, which includes all of Kent and Ionia counties and the city of Hastings, the townships of Irving, Carlton, Woodland, Rutland, Hastings and Castleton, about twothirds of Hope Township and a tiny portion of Baltimore Township in Barry Country. But Dean was the top candi­ date in Barry County, with 545 votes, or about 20.4 per­ cent of the 2,665 cast, only slightly ahead of runner-up Marge Byington's 530 for 19.9 percent. Ehlers now goes on to meet Democrat Dale Sprik and Independent Dawn Krupp in the general election Dec. 7. Three entirely new congress­ men will represent Barry County in Washington D. C„ beginning in January. Before the 1992 reapportionment, the county was represented by Republican Paul Henry and Democrat Howard Wolpe. However, Wolpe retired after the redistricting and Henry died of brain cancer July 31, See Ehlers, Page 3 Sen. Swartz speaks to Vermontville Council on school finance reform by Teresa Frith Staff Writer State Senator John Schwarz spoke to the Vermontville Council Thursday evening on school finance reform and tax revenue sharing issues now before the State Legislature. "The negotiations for the fi­ nance package and school fi­ nance reform are going on now," said Schwarz. "I expect that in December the govern­ ment along with stake holders such as the MEA (Michigan Education Association), key legislators and other parties will negotiate a package simi­ lar to what is now being dis­ cussed." Schwarz went on to say that some of the items being dis­ cussed are a 2 percent increase in sales tax, a .5 to 1 percent increase in the state income tax, a .5 percent increase in the single business tax, a 50-cent increase in cigarette taxes and a 4 percent real estate transfer tax proposed by Governor John Engler. State Senator Debbie Stabenow, who is seeking the Democratic Party nomination to run against Engler next State Senator John Schawarz speaks to Vermontville Council members and the audience about school finance reform and how it might affect them. year, also has a plan that calls for an increase in personal in­ come tax and a 2 percent real estate transfer tax. "We need a sales tax in­ crease in order to make this work," Schwarz said. "It will fail without it. There is no other way to replace even part of the money and the voters need to say yes." A vote by the people will be necessary to enact any in­ crease in sales tax. The only type of sales tax that can be put in place without that vote would be a tax on services, which Schwarz says is "not appropriate politically". He also said that he didn't think that the real estate trans­ fer taxes proposed by Engler and Stabenow would make it either, due to a lack of support for the measures. He estimated that about $1.2 billion could be raised from a 1 percent increase in the state income tax, between $325 and 360 million from an increase in the cigarette tax and $9 million for each addi­ tional cent increase in the state sales tax. In order to come up with additional funds, there is a proposal on the floor for a state-wide property tax of between 16 and 20 mills on industrial, commercial, second homes and those owned by people living outside of the state. Another option being dis­ cussed in a plan to allow the 38 richest school districts to levy additional property taxes to allow them to reach 101 percent of their present levels of spending per pupil. The other districts then gradually would be raised to a $4,500 per pupil foundation grant by allowing them to start next year with this year's money plus an additional 3 percent. "This part of the state makes out very well with this plan," said Schwarz. "Michigan is fifth nationwide in property taxes. This is a disinterest to businesses and is far too high." Other topics going along with the finance issues are those of schools of choice and better ways to negotiate with See School finance, Page 3 In This Issue • Americable gets back two stations, still without Channel 3 • Emergency blood drive set for Friday in Nashville • Veteran’s Day is Thursday, Nov. 11 • “Kiss the Pig” Contest raises $1500 for Memorial Scholarship Fund__________ �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 9, 1993 — Page 2 Americable gets back two stations, still without Ch. 3 yeresar , Staff Writer ■ I Americable subscribers in Vermontville got two stations back that were lost recently because of lack of agreements, but are still without WWMT-Channel 3 (CBS).

If the Headlee override vote is successful, these proposed cuts will not be necessary. nently," said Americable rep­ resentative Bill Bemasconi at Thursday evening's Vermontville council meeting. "We reached a non­ cash agreement with the other stations and don't want to pay cash to Channel 3. If we agreed to do that, our other contracts would be null and void." Bernasconi added that if they had agreed to pay WWMT, that payment could be split between subscribers in 1994 and show up on their bills. Americable has tem­ porarily replaced WWMT with the E-Entertainment network, with variety pro­ gramming from Hollywood, but is looking for other substi­ tutes. Council members also brought local resident's con­ cerns about new price in­ creases, channels being scrambled or off the air and other problems related to ser­ vices. "We understand the concern of citizens," said Bernasconi. "But our capital investment here has been more than we expected and some of the old equipment left by the former system (Triad CATV) was obsolete and needed to be replaced.” He explained that rate in­ creases were caused by a re­ structuring of cable rates by the FCC in accordnace with the federal cable act of 1992. A benchmark formula is used, which takes into consideration the number of subscribers, channels, maintenance cost and other factors and comes up with a formula that states how much can be charged. "The high mark for basic services is $25.60," said Bemasconi. "We are charging $23.68." He explained that cable companies can drop the cost of things such as converters and additional outlet fees and restructure basic service rates. This sometimes allows an in­ crease in the basic fee, de­ pending on where the service falls in the benchmark for­ mula. "In the future, all rate in­ creases will be dependent on cost of living increases or if another channel were added to the system," said Bernasconi.

He responded by saying that if such problems oc­ curred, the customers should call in for assistance. "If three or more calls are received about a problem, then the service will beep a technician to respond," said Bemasconi. "If the channel is off for at least 24 hours, the customer can phone into be issued a credit." Council also discussed with Bernasconi getting a character generator machine used for a public access channel for local programming. The village is seeking a public access channel that would allow them to broadcast tapes of things such as council meetings, local sports or other local events. Council members last week also heard a report from Greg Poole, a member of a citizens' group in Charlotte that is op­ posed to the incinerator now being proposed for construc­ tion there. Poole explained some of his concerns on how the project could jeopardize the environ­ ment and how Vermontville could face pollution problems from the residue ash produced by the incinerator. The incinerator is expected to bum scrap tires, demolition waste, wood chips, construc­ tion debris, paper and other items. It will have at least a 35 year contract with Charlotte. "There is a potential for the production of toxic materials from the residual ash," said Poole. "My concern is that the ash contains heavy metals such as mercury, lead, zinc and copper. These could leach out into the environment." Since Vermontville is within about 10 miles from Charlotte, some of this ash could end up in the village, according to Poole. He asked the village to write letters to Charlotte and other governmental units ask­ ing to be a part of the decision on bringing the incinerator to Charlotte. In another matter, the council heard from Ed Atherton of A and J Investment Company in Charlotte on a proposed pro­ ject that could place 45 modu­ QUIMBY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH M-79 West Sunday School... 10:00 a.m. Worship....... 11:00 a.m. After School Special....

Atherton has bought the property and would like to plat it out into 45 lots, about 100-by-50 feet, which is large enough to hold a single-wide or conventional size home with a two-car garage. The area could become a subdivi­ sion where people would buy the lots and build homes on them with some restrictions on the finished units. The lots are expected to cost less than $10,000 for the land, plus the cost of the homes. Atherton asked the council for their support of his ideas and said that it would take several months to a year to do the platting of the lots. The council decided to form a committee to discuss the idea further and meet with Atherton at a later date to talk about it. In other business Thursday, the council: • Approved a study to de­ termine if a three-way stop is needed at the intersections of Allegan Road, East Main Street and Vermontville Highway. Residents on these Schools join Felpausch ‘Dollars for Scholars’ Maple Valley High School will participate in the Felpausch “Dollars for Scholars’’ program, and working to achieve a share of the $250,000 Felpausch has committed to improving local schools. All parents and residents have to do is return Felpausch register tapes between now and April 17, 1994, to their school. The school then will “deposit’* the tapes with Felpausch, and the share of the total amount deposited by all the schools in the program will determine the amount of cash that will be received. Register tapes should be sent to the different school of­ fices weekly. This effort is for the high school and the two PTO’s are still gathering Campbell and Spartan labels, for the elementary schools.

"The ball is rolling in earnest and negotiations will start next week," Schwarz said. "But there are bound to be some changes in what I have discussed tonight." On the issue of tax revenue sharing, Schwarz discussed Senate Bill 884 S-2. As dis­ cussed, this bill would amend the Property Tax Limitation act to do the following: • Allow a county to levy up to two mills, a township or village up to three mills, and an intermediate school district to levy the maximum number of mills allocated in 1993, outside of the constitutional limitation with local govern­ ing body approval. • Require that counties first use revenue from the mills for payment to cities for any tax <« $&§ S ‘JJM wM J wJW., Wm .,\ । ‘ww\ wm,\ ?*is> XS; ** »&% •m **m* 1 s$s Me slitst ^Ite «lfa *ScWar$' ^Muu ■* ® ft i a M K» kWno«u, Mik litegit^ Miib^ «» HOfeifalt, fesisitj.

These children were busy grinding corn to find out how the Indians and Pilgrims made it into corn meal. The group also planted some of the corn. by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Kindergarten, Young Fives and preschoolers at Maple­ wood got a head start in preparing for Thanksgiving last week with a celebration of Native American Day. About 70 children, kinder­ garten teacher Linda Gaber and several adult helpers learned how it might have been for the Pilgrims and Indians to organize the First Thanksgiving. The children went through various stations set up to simulate grinding and planting corn, hunting buffalo and looking for cran­ berries, collecting firewood and fishing. They also toured an au­ thentic teepee set up on the school lawn. The teepee belongs to Henry Felder, a Nashville res­ ident who is part of the William F. Cody Living History Group in Britton, Mich. Felder and another group member, Ed Bignail, came dressed as French ex­ plorers and explained to the children about the teepee and how life was in the past. The classrooms of Linda Gaber, Lynn Gray and Jan Haag took part in the festivi­ ties. This event is an annual af­ fair and will be tied into Grandparents Day celebra­ tions Thursday, Nov. 18. Superintendent’s Corner Funding makes a difference BY Dr. Ozzie D. Parks Maplewood kindergarten students toured a teepee owned by Henry Felder and Ed Bignall of the William F. Cody Living History Group during Native American Day at the school. Cranberry gathering was one of the chores that faced these Indians and Pilgrims last week at Maplewood's Native American Day. Red Cross blood drive set for Nov. 12 locally A Public Service of the Service and Your USDA Forest State Forester. The next Red Cross blood drive in Nashville is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 12, at the United Methodist Church from 1 to 6:45 p.m. According to Barry County Red Cross officials, they are very low on blood at this time. Although all types are in short supply, they are especially need O positive blood. As part of a drive to get new donors involved in giving blood, anyone who brings a new donor to the drive will receive a mug. Anyone who is at least 17 years old, is in reasonably good health, weighs at least 110 pounds and hasn't given blood for a minimum of 56 days prior to the drive is eligible to donate. Red Cross officials say that it is also important to have eaten prior to giving blood in order to avoid any light­ headedness. The educational reform movement has raised an age-old question, “Does the amount of funding which a school has to work with make a difference in the academic success of the students?” As I quoted in an earlier article, college entrance tests scores were never intended to be the way to answer this question. They were designed for a completely different purpose, which was to help determine an individual student’s aptitude for col­ lege work. Average test scores on these tests are significantly affected by the number and type of students who take them. How then can we know if funding makes a difference? Some ways include the following: 1. Use scores from tests taken by all students, such as the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) tests. 2. Look at research results. 3. Use common sense. . To help us better understand this issue, I recently com­ municated with a superintendent whose school has the highest MEAP scores in the area. According to a recent news report, their funding per student is 60 percent higher than ours. Since they are an affluent community, we might well wonder how these “extra funds” make their students more successful than ours. Some of the differences which are found between their school and ours include: 1. They have smaller class sizes, which research says can help the slower students experience higher success. 2. They have one elementary school counselor for every 250 to 300 students, while we have one for 934 students. 3. They have a reading specialist, over and above the Chapter I staff, at each building. We have none. 4. They have full-time librarians in each elementary school, plus a clerical assistant. We have part-time clerical staff only. 5. They have computer and technology laboratories in each elementary schoo; we are working toward one computer per elementary classroom. 6. They have the equivalent of two full-time elementary school curriculum specialists. We hve one half-time specialist for K-12. 7. Their starting salaries for teachers are 26 percent higher than ours. If outstanding teachers have a choice between districts, which do you think they might choose? Research tells us that teachers make a difference. Does funding make a difference in student success? Does the amount of nutrients in the soil affect how com grows? Upon careful study we find that common sense, supported by facts such as those above, says “yes” to both questions. Funding is not the only thing that affects academic success, but it does play a significant role. Just as the quality of the seed, the sun and the rain help the com grow, so do other factors affect learning. Yet, just as nutrients in the soil make a dramatic difference, so does the amount of funding affect the academic success of students. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 9, 1993 — Page 5 Fifth-graders at Maplewood make books for school library Fifth-graders at Maplewood Elementary Schooll are writing and designing their own books to be placed in the school library for others to read and enjoy.

County chapter of the American Red Cross and the regional lab in Lans­ ing, as well as the entire coun­ try, are suffering a severe shortage of blood. Therefore, an unscheduled blood drive will be held at the Nashville United Methodist Church Friday, Nov. 12, from 1 to 7 p.m. This drive was created at the last minute because at the Regional Lab in Lansing (the one Barry Coun­ ty supplies and the only source used by Pennock Hospital) the inventories are as follows: O+ 0A+ AB+ B- “As you can see,” said Chapter Director Karen Despres, “right now there are plenty of units in the A and B types, but with the 0 types in critically low supply, the others will be used up very rapidly. We need desperately for any one who is eligible to donate, to attend this one. “You may also be aware that a person with O negative blood can only use O negative blood there is no other blood type that can be transfused to the O negative person. While at the same time, O negative NEED ON HAND 365 units 90 units 365 units 85 units 90 units 25 units Nashville man graduates from tech school HAVE ON HAND 30 units 0 units 148 units 22 units 104 units 42 units blood is the universal blood type. With the inventory showing 0 units on hand, the situation is literally critical.” . Despres added, “We great­ ly appreciate all of the people who work at these drives as volunteers and the folks who give this very precious part of themselves so that others may live.” Each pint of blood donated can save as many as four lives, and there are only about 5 percent of people who are eligible to donate blood who actually do give blood. The only requirements are that one be at least 17 years of age and weigh at least 110 pounds. “If you cannot make it to the Nashville Blood Drive,” Despres said, ‘‘but you are going to be in Kalamazoo, Battle Creek or Lansing, and you know.of a blood drive go­ ing on, please stop in and donate. Your blood is desperately needed, now!” She also said she ap­ preciates Edna Smith and the volunteers at the Methodist Church for pulling together to set up a blood drive on such short notice in Nashville.

In April 1917, President Woodrow Wilson told Congress, "It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war... but this right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things we have always carried nearest our hearts..." That speech began America's commitment to World War I and the first Veteran's Day was in honor of those who served in that war.

Tuesday. November 9, 1993 — Page 7 Exchange students learn about America at Maple Valley Schools by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Four foreign exchange stu­ dents are (raveling the halls at Maple Valley High School this year to learn bow their United States counterparts live and play. They are Annett Brenner and Bina Schwehr, both from Germany; Niki Bazzi from Italy; and Paula Halonen of Finland, all 17 years old. Annett Brenner comes from Weimar. Her hometown is part of what was once consid­ ered East Germany before re­ unification took place in 1990. Brenner has a brother (23) and a sister (25) at home in Germany. Her mother is an accountant and her father works as an insurance agent. Weimar's biggest industry is tourism. "This is my first time in the United States," she said. "I came here to learn about an­ other culture and to learn the language better." Brenner comes to Maple Valley through the Pacific Intercultural Exchange pro­ gram and is staying with James and Shirley Malloy of Nashville. Bina Schwehr hails from Munich and came to the United States through Youth For Understanding. She is be­ ing hosted by Nashville resident Sue Furlong and her three children, Priscilla (20), Cindy (21), and Rich (18). "This isn't my first time in the United States," said Schwehr. "I wanted to live in the United States for a year to know what it is like and to be­ come more independent." In Germany she has a 19ycar-old brother, her mother works in a boutique and her father is in the travel business. "I like the language and want to practice English," she added. Seventeen-year-old Niki Bazzi comes from Dcsio, Italy, near Milan. Although this is her first time to the United States, she is well traveled and has been to England, Argentina, Brazil and the United Arab Emirates. She has a 14-year-old brother in Italy who likes to play soc­ cer. Her father is a manager and her mother works in a boutique. Bazzi comes here through the ERDT-SHARE program and is slaying with Jim and Sharon Faust in Vermontville. The Fausts have two daugh­ ters, Vickie (19) and Susan (16). Paula Halonen is also 17 and is from Joensuu, Finland. She came here through American Intercultural Student Exchange program and is staying with Martha McQuade in Vermontville. 'This is my first time in the United States," she said. "Someday I want to work in travel or something to do with language." Back in Finland she has a 13-year-old brother. Her mother is a bookkeeper and her father makes boats. All of the visitors paid their own way to the United States and are being sent an allowance for spending money by their parents. All four of the girls agree that school here is much dif­ ferent here than in their own countries. The major differences seem to be the length of the school day, the difficulty of the classes and the fact that in some of their schools its the teachers who change rooms instead of the students. "We don't have the same classes every day and each class lasts only 45 minutes," said Brenner. "People here depend on cars and buses, but we ride the public bus or ride bicycles. Schwehr added, "Our school is bigger and the classes arc harder. Classes arc over at 1 p.m. and we get two long breaks during the day." She said that she rides the subway to school. Both German girls added that though the school day ends earlier, it isn't unusual for them to have to study sev­ eral hours a day in order to keep up with their school work. School in Germany is struc­ tured somewhat different as well. After kindergarten there is four years of primary-type school and then nine years of special grades similar to our she will have to resume where she left off when she returns home. Schwehr is in a similar situ­ ation. Though she could take a test when she returns in order to allow her to skip a year of school, she says that is very difficult and she will probably have to repeat a year as well. While the other two won't have to repeat a year of school when they return to their own countries, they too say that school here is much different. coo n ay s ve hours a day and is much harder," said Bazzi. "The teachers don’t repeat as much and we have to study five or Maple Valley High School is host to four foreign exchange students that « ere , ’he entire school year.

She added that in Italy there is five years of primary school, three years of middle school and five years of high a test in order to attend high school or go on to college. If they fail a class, they have only two chances to take it school. Students must pass again. Halonen says that school in Finland has a different amount of hours each day, depending on the classes being taught. "Here you have the same thing every day," she said. "Our school schedule has five parts, parts, each each one one is is about about seven seven weeks long.” Besides school, Besides school, the the girls girls agreed that American teens have other differences. "The food here is greasier and there is more fast food," said Bazzi. "We would go to GET A HEAD START WITH THE CLASSIFIEDS McDonald's more for fun than to eat." In all of their countries, the girls are used to specialized shops for things such as bakeries, butchers, etc. There aren't many shopping malls are supermarkets such as those here in the United States. high school. Brenner added that her year Each one said that they felt that European teens had more freedom than their American counterparts. "American teenagers watch more television and their par­ ents react differently to prob­ lems than ours," said one of the girls.

Hartenburg's votes raised nearly half of the total money collected, according to schol­ arship fund organizer Junia Jarvie. Besides the vote canis­ ters placed around town, Hartenburg's students helped raise money by selling candy. Six local men were chosen as this year's candidates for the honor of kissing a pig at the Oct. 29 Maple ValleyPennfield football game. Penny votes to determine the winner were collected in canisters and placed in busi­ nesses in the area. Lastminute votes cast at the game were counted by Lois Gardner and Barbara and Larry Musser. Hartenburg's moment of fame came during halftime at the game. He and secondand third-place winners Tad Davis and Tony Wawiernia were led onto the field by Miss Piggy as drum rolls sounded. Last year's winner, Gene Fisher, was emcee for the ceremony. The other candidates included Jim Zemke, Pat Powers and Earl Wilson. Unlike last year, when the pig squealed loudly throughout the entire ceremony, this year he remained quiet until kissed. After that, the pig squealed loudly all the way The scholarship fund was put together in 1987 by retired local teachers Jarvie and Dorthy Carpenter. MVMSF funds, without interest, show a balance of $67,199.66. The interest is used each year to fund scholarships to Maple Valley graduates. Since 1987, a total of $19,000 has been awarded to 33 students.

The school (for upper ability students) was well maintained and in spite of not seeming to have all the latest in technology and equipment, was very conducive to a good academic environment,” Er- From Our Readers ... Low MEAP scores have an explanation To the editor: After reading Mr. Mur­ phy’s recent letter to the editor, we felt a need to respond. But first, we need to be sure we understand what he is try­ ing to say. MEAP scores for Maple Valley are poor in comparison with 24 other area schools. We have no dispute with that conclusion. The next question should be, “How do we fix this?” Obviously, as the Wawiemias so plainly stated in their letter, we are getting what we pay for. The voters/taxpayers in this district have consistently been of the opinion that our kids should only receive a barebones education. Our millage rate of 29.01 mills and our teachers salaries are the lowest in the area. Is it any wonder why our MEAP scores are also the lowest? It really doesn’t take a genius to figure out why. But wait. Let’s not blame ourselves for not putting our money where our mouths are. Let’s blame the teachers. After all, they must not be do­ ing their job if they are not teaching our kids well enough to compete with school districts whose voters believe in their kids enough to ade­ quately fund top flight programs. And so to punish the teachers and ultimately our kids, Mr. Murphy would have us vote “no” on the Headlee waiver. After all, why spend more money to try to improve our MEAP scores? Mr. Mur­ phy would have us spend less, so that the next time the Jour­ nal does a survey, we can rank 25th in all categories. Now ask yourself, is that what you want for our kids? We feel our teachers do a wonderful job with the limited resources we give them. Why not give them a chance to do better? We say vote “yes” on the Headlee over­ ride. After all it is for our kids.

With this in mind, the Auto Club presents another in a series of “Straight Talk for Older Drivers.” “Rx For Safe Driving,” is a public awareness brochure available free at AAA Michigan bran­ ches statewide. Today, there are more than 30 million Americans 65 or older. By 2050, more than 50 million will be in this age group—and 90 percent of them will be licensed to drive. “It’s ironic that medications designed to enrich the life of the senior citizen can actually result in duller reflexes, drowsiness and blurred vi­ sion, making driving risky,” said Jerry Basch, AAA Michigan Community Safety Services manager. While warnings and tips in the brochure on how to avoid drug side effects apply to motorists of all ages, they are particularly germane to mature drivers who regularly take medication for a variety of illnesses. Studies show that one of every four elderly patients ad­ mitted to the hospital is treated for medication mismanagement. Prescription and over-thecounter drugs can have the same debilitating effect as alcohol on alertness, reaction time and other driving skills, the Auto Club says. Food in­ teractions with drugs are another serious concern. For example, eating Ched­ dar cheese while taking cer- tain anti-depressants can speed up heart beat, elevate blood pressure and bring on nosebleeds. Other foods can reduce or increase the absorp­ tion of medicine into the system. Even common aspirin can alter prescription effectiveness. Questioning your doctor or pharmacist about possible side effects can minimize driving risk for the prudent motorist. Some questions to ask, according to the Auto Club: Continued column 6 Obituaries William S. Hynes WOODLAND - William S. Hynes, 72, of Woodland, passed away Sunday, Novem­ ber 7, 1993.

SENIOR DRIVERS from column 4 this page • How will this medicine be affected by other drugs I’m taking? • Are there foods that can influence my reaction to this drug? e Will I feel different at any time-like right before or after I take my prescription? • Should I avoid or restrict certain activities, like driving, while taking this medicine? •Should I take this medicine with food or on an empty stomach? Basch also suggests that those taking medicine define dosages. For example, does “take three times daily” mean every eight hours or with meals? He also warns that persons taking medication should avoid drinking alcoholic beverages. EXCHANGE STUDENTS from Page 7 Don’t miss this fabulous opportunity to win one of 20 family vacations...

The Lady Lions fell to the top runner in the SMAA, un­ defeated Olivet (11-0). 52-41, last Tuesday and then to sec­ ond-place holder Bellevue (10-1) on Friday. 50-43. Maple Valley falls to 6-4 in the SMAA with the pair of losses and 10-8 overall. The Lady Lions took a run at comeback against Olivet af­ ter being down 27-14 at the break and outscored the Lady Eagles in the second half, but were unable to make up the deficit. They also fell behind in the first half against Bellevue only to put 19 points on the board in the final quarter, but the Lady Broncos had built up a 35-24 lead and never relin­ quished. Leading scorer in the Olivet game was the Eagles' Renee Judd with 13. Leading scorers for the Lady Lions were Nicole Reid and Joyelle Stine with 10 apiece. Stine was three for five from three-point land with three assists, and Reid hit two from outside the threepoint line. Dana Hasselback, who had three points, was the leading rebounder with 10. Nicole Kirwin had seven rebounds to go with four points. Stephanie Bouwens had three assists to go with four points. Coach Jerry Reese said the reason for the loss is the "simple inability for us to put the ball through the hoop." The team hit only 15 of 54 tries from the floor.

Frith, of 523 Washington St., Nashville, recently participated in two weeks of active duty training for reservists. During the training at the Fleet Home Town News Center, Naval Station, Nor­ folk, Va., Frith received in­ formation and practical ap­ plication relating to current military procedures and policies. The 1975 graduate of Meigs High School of Pomeroy, Ohio, joined the Navy in December 1976. Frith is a 1982 graduate of the Universi­ ty of Alaska, Anchorage, with a AA degree. Against Bellevue, the Lady Broncos went to the charity stripe 32 times and came away with 19 points, which Reese said, "was very good shooting on their part and which was the difference in the game." Maple Valley went 11 for 17 from the free throw line. The Lady Lions had hoped to play a spoiler in the Bellevue match-up and dirty the 10-1 SMAA record of the Lady Broncos. Shelia Mellen, from Bellevue, was the leading scorer in the game with 14 points and Jenny Sandin dropped in 12. Bouwens led Maple Valley with 12 points and six assists. Hasselback had 10 rebounds to go with five points and Holly Taylor and Stine each had eight. The Lady Lions play at Leslie, tonight (Nov. 9), and play host to Battle Creek St. Philip in the final game of the year Friday night. The Friday night game will also be Parents Night. M.V. Jayvee girl eager teams improve record to 11-7 The Maple Valley jayvee girls’ basketball team defeated Olivet and Bellevue last week, improving its record to 11-7. On Tuesday they defeated Olivet 41-33. “The girls made 12 out of 18 freethrows in the fourth quarter to come away with the win,” said Coach Duska Brumm. “We have been stressing the impor­ tance of making our freethrows to win ballgames, and tins proved the point.” Leading the Lions offen­ sively was Tracy Hickey with 14 points and defensively Erin Hokanson with 10 rebounds and six steals. On Friday, the Lady Lions defeated Bellevue 51-9. Tracy Hickey led the Lions with 18 points, five rebounds, and five steals. The Lions take on Leslie tonight (Nov. 9) and finish off their season at home against St. Phil on Friday.

The council was informed by its insurance company that next year's total bill will rise by $108. Under the current system, the village pays $31,280.40 for health care premiums for employees covered. Employees pay a $100 deductible, 100 percent coverage of usual and customary hospital charges and use a $2 prescription drug card. Plans that were being discussed previously would have raised the deductible to $1,000 and the drug card to $10, with an 80-20 split of charges after the deductible was paid. In other business Thursday, the council: * Received a letter from the Farmers Home Administration on the status of a pre-application by Mulberry Fore Golf Course owners for an FHA grant to be used in building a sewer infrastructure for a proposed expansion project at Mulberry Fore. The letter explained that while Nashville is eligible for the grant, the project doesn’t have the needed priority to be funded now. It suggested that the project designers explore less costly alternatives for the needed sewer system. Mulberry Fore owners Tim and Alice Boucher together the paperwork in September to apply for the $310,000 grant. The proposed RV park would be located on the north side of the course, which is outside village limits. village However, in order to get sewer service they would have to hook up to Nashville's sewer system. The project would add condominiums, an RV park and other improvements to the Mulberry Fore Golf Course. The RV park would call for 127 long-term and 23 short-term sites for recreational vehicles. Long-range plans would add on-site supervisor housing and office, a convenience store, a recreation hall, showers, laundry, swimming pool for residents, an irons course for golf instruction and practice, and cottages for short-term housing of park guests. • Received notice from the estate of former area resident Alice Keihl that the village will receive $14,708.83 to be used for sidewalk repairs. Glenn Tarrant informed council members of the bequest on behalf of his wife, Sandy, who is Keihl's daughter. The Keihls operated a hardware store in the area. • Tabled a request by Castleton Township to put in a street light by the township hall building on Reed Street until it can be determined If one is needed or that Castleton would consider paying for the installation. M. V. to make cuts, as Headlee override fails by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Maple Valley will cut $135,000 from its budget this year as last Thursday's attempt to override the Headlee Amendment failed by a margin of 445 (no) to 368 (yes). Voters in both Nashville and Vermontville decided against the proposed measure. The count in Nashville was 262 (no) to 198 (yes) and in Vermontville it was defeated by a margin of 183 (no) to 170 (yes). This is the second time that voters have been asked to de­ cide the issue, with the first attempt failing last June. The failure meant the loss of $150,122 in state aid and local tax revenue because it caused the millage rate to fall from 29.01 to 28.1397. "We want to thank those who took the~xime to vote," said Maple Valley Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks. "We will honor the de­ sire of the majority and im­ plement the necessary budget See Health coverage, Page 2 See Headlee attempt, Page A Nashville lady fills out forms as she prepares to cast her vote during last week's attempt to override the Headlee Amendment in the Maple Valley School district. 7 School Board examines financial outlook for next year by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Maple Valley School Board members listened Monday (Nov. 8) as Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks went over Gov. John Engler's school fi­ nance proposal and how it may affect finances during the next school year. Part of the plan calls for a base foundation grant of $4,500 for each student, starting with the 1994-95 school year. The proposal would shift most of the cate­ gorical and other state paid costs to local districts, thus reducing the actual new funds available. Estimated new costs to the Maple Valley district include $379,297 in retirement ex­ penses; a requirement to pay the total FICA bill of $269,919; $189,878 in low income revenue losses; $152,821 in additional trans­ portation costs; $21,362 in additional vocational educa­ tion costs; a loss of $18,130 in court placed children amounts; $7,500 increase in Sandy and Glenn Tarrant present the Maple Valley School Board members (from left) Duane Schantz, Dave Tuckey, Ron Tobias and Jbe Briggs with $38,242.94 from the estate of Alice Keihl. The money is to be used for school scholarships. drivers 'education costs, and $2,850 in Section 48 remedial education costs for a total of In recent years the equity fund has shrunk because ex­ penditures have been higher $1,041,757. than revenues. Since 1990 the fund has dropped from $898,900 to a projected $227,373 at the end of this school year. Parks also gave a report on the reform plan being advocated by the In-formula School District caucus, which has ideas that differ somewhat from the governor's plans. The caucus plan includes a $5,300 foundation grant for each student, starting with the 1994-95 school year. It would be adjusted annually by the percentage of growth in total The projected state aid for next year, using the new formula and a figure of 1,680 students is $7,560,000. After subtracting the new costs above, the amount drops to $6,518,243. This is an increase of $1,028,895 over this year's state aid of $5,509,258. While this seems like a large increase at first glance, much of that would be needed to make up shortfalls in this year's budget and to build up the school equity fund so that it remains at 5 percent of the total revenue. Using the 1993-94 projected revenues of $6,739,951 and expenditures of $7,228,085 there would be a deficit of $488,134. This amount added to $155,715 needed to get the equity fund back up to a 5 percent level, would drop down the amount of new state aid available for budgeting to $365,136. This would be a 5 percent increase in state aid over this year's amount. The average increases in revenues over the past five years is 5 percent, while ex­ penditures have outdistanced that with an average increase of 8.2 percent. state revenues. Districts already spending beyond that amount would be allowed to levy property tax mills sufficient to reach their 1993-94 spending levels. Those within the foundation program would be allowed to seek voter approval Tor up to a permanent maximum of five additional mills for enrich­ ment purposes until they reached the level of spending of their community’s choice. Districts outside the foundation program could seek a temporary maximum of four additional mills for enrichment purposes.

While most are students who have never been enrolled in the dis­ trict, it is estimated that about 15 to 20 students previously were enrolled in public schools. Board President Ron Tobias asked that the policies and procedures committee look into the reasons children in the district are being home schooled. Parks added that the courts have made recent rulings that make it easier for parent to choose the option of home schooling. Parents are no longer required to have a col­ lege education in order to teach their children at home and more parents are choosing it for religious reasons. *Adopted resolutions honoring the girls' cross­ country team, golf team and marching band for their ac­ complishments this year. • Approved hiring Sharon Robins as a noon-time aide at For The Whole Family Corner of M-66 and Thornapple Lake Rd.

However, the issue could go before the board prior to that date if a decision was made to put it on the agenda. Several audience members said they were dissatisfied with that decision. At the end of the evening, when Tobias asked for any additional comments, they called on the board to vote on the issue immediately. At least one per­ son angrily accused Tobias of rushing the decision and tak­ ing control of the length of the previous discussion. "You have the item on your agenda," said more than one person, "We came here to hear a decision. Why won't you vote on it now?" Tobias explained since no motion was made, no action had to be taken. The board members further explained that since some of the concerns expressed by the community had only been heard that evening, that they would prefer time to check them out before a vote was taken.

No decision was made to either renew or terminate Parks after June 1994. The superintendent's con­ tract now is set to expire June 30, after it was extended to that date last September. Otherwise, his contract would have expired at the end of next month. The subject came up again because of confusion by some board members as to exactly what they had voted on when extending the contract to next June. Some thought that the motion meant Parks' job would end in June, while oth­ ers understood it to be an ex­ tension with a possibility for renewal. Several community mem­ bers were present to offer support for Parks. The board was given petitions with about 200 names of other residents in favor of retaining Parks. had agreed to a 10-minute "Dr. Parks is a good family discussion on each agenda man, God fearing and a man item.

The screening tests were conducted by Janet VanEngen, hearing technician for the Barry-Eaton County Health Department, in coop­ eration with the county schools and the Michigan Department of Health. All public and non-public schools in Barry and Eaton counties each year are in- cluded in the hearing conser­ vation program. Hearing screening tests are given in selected grades, but students of any age may be tested on the request of a teacher or parent. The purpose of such screening is to identify children who have any sort of hearing losses. Early detection of such problems means a faster solution to any discovered problems. Between three and four of every 100 Michigan children have either a detectable hear­ ing loss or an ear problem that causes them problems. While a parent or teacher may not notice that a child has a hear­ ing loss, tests using the special equipment can. If any child is found to have a potential problem, a second more detailed test will be given to determine how seri­ ous it is. If a child needs to go to a clinic for these tests, there is no charge for the service.

Parks The special election held in our district Thursday, Nov. 11, may have been the last of its kind. School reform issues being debated in our State Legislature are expected to shift school tax issues away from the local pro­ perty tax and toward state taxes, such as those on sales and income. The property tax has been the major source of income for Michigan schools for many years. However, new demands for equal opportunities among students, regardless of where they live, appear to have made it a dinosaur. Should we mourn its passing? There are some reasons why I believe that we should. It was our most local tax and it provid­ ed for a good amount of local control. When the chips were down, it also was responsive to local needs. However, the property tax system has resulted in gross ine­ quities between communities, with some schools having three times the resources per child that other schools are able to pro­ vide. Our more mobile and high tech society has made three in­ equities unacceptable. Most school superintendents, like myself, will not miss the responsibility for heading up millage campaigns, which stir up many taxpayers. Most of us believe that our major respon­ sibility ought to be the development of programs and services that make high quality education possible. I still believe in a good measure of local responsibility and control, as I hope that you do. However, I hope a new tax structure will give us a better balance of equity and quality across our state. . In that sense, the new era should be a better one. LOG HOME • $112,000!! SECLUDED SELLER!

Last year students performed "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder. "Flowers for Algernon" by David Rogers is a drama based on the same short story written by Daniel Keyes. It is the story of Charlie Gordon, a willing victim of a strange ex­ periment. In the play he goes from a moron to a genius and is a man in search of himself. Students have been rehears­ ing for the play since September.Tickets are $2.50 for all performances. About 30 students will be featured in the play this year. The cast includes Ben Mudry playing the lead character Charlie Gordon, as well as others, including Jason Harmon, Rudy Othmer, Stacey Hawblitz, Will Rooks, Nettie Emery, Heather Rollins, Andy Swartz, Kelly Gillean, Angie Gardner, Heather Philipp, Robb Rosin, Matt Mace, Teri Sessions, April Blakely, Spring Javor, Heather Shipman, Kritina Rucinski, Shannon Fawley, Lora Emery, Marie Balcom, Kyle Curtiss, Karon Rhodes, Amanda Greenman, Deb White, Jenny Kuempei, Alicia Alieva, Julie Skelton and Beth Dell. "This play is more serious that anything that we've done before," said Norma Acker, Maple Valley English teacher and play director. "I hope that people in the community will come to see what these kids are capable of doing." Prof. Nemur and his wife host a party and introduce Charlie to members of the Welborn Foundation who financed the experiment on Charlie. Teenage Charlie seems to looks on as the adult Charlie embraces Alice and kisses her. Charlie runs into several of his former classmates from Alice's class that he attended before going through the experiment. Charlie’s mother mops the floor as he talks with his sister after returning home.

After the Fourth Friday head counts new costs are included, the district expects to receive a total of $163,595 less than last year. The reductions are due not only to the June failure to override the Headlee Amendment, but also because of new rulings that required the district to pay 25 percent of social security costs for all staff members and new crite­ ria for low income revenues which requires at least 23 per­ cent of students to be enrolled in the free lunch or free milk programs. Maple Valley's total was 20 percent of students enrolled in the free programs, therefore they didn't qualify for the low income aid this year. Smith, John Terberg, Vedder, Jeremy Wiser.

Maplewood fifth grader Chris Ripley holds up one of the Halloween ornaments that his class made for the Nashville Marathon C-Store as part of what will be an on-going class project. Maplewood Elementary fifth-graders will make deco­ rations for Nashville's Marathon C-Store while at the same time providing them­ selves a way to display their artwork throughout the year. The students started the project last month by making Halloween cutouts and other decorations to hang in the C- Store. Their teacher, Bob Smith, works at the store and asked if the artwork could be displayed. The store has agreed to allow the students to design decorations for other seasons such as the upcoming Christmas and New Year's holidays. The class soon will be putting up ornaments to re- place the Halloween display. The project is the result of cooperation between the children and the C-Store, which they hope will benefit both parties. The C-Store won't have to worry about holiday decorating chores and area residents can see what their children are making in art.

AIESEC is the only student­ run organization to have a seat on the.- United Nations. We fulfill our mission state­ ment in three ways. The first is by running the world’s largest internship program. We ask local businesses to sponsor a trainee to come and work for them from another country. For each trainee we bring in, one of our members gets to go abroad and work. The second is through what we call the “Global Theme Project.” We increase inter­ national awareness by spon­ soring such things as Interna­ tional Night, The World Game, etc. The third and final way is through conferences, in which we have four different levels. There is the sub-regional, which includes about five to seven schools in our area. Then we go to the regional, which includes about 20 dif­ ferent schools in our area. The next level is the national level to which 70 schools will at­ tend. The final level is the in­ ternational conference, to which students from all over the globe will attend. I have attended two con­ ferences at the sub-regional level and one at the regional level. I have now been selected as a delegate to repre­ sent Marquette at the national conference. While attending, I will develop my leadership skills through intense training for the officer position which I am running for, for next year. I will gain personal skills, which will help me develop as a person. We will network with corporate represenatives from some of our national sponsors such as Arthur Anderson, AT&T, Lands End, IBM, etc. There will be several foreign trainees there. The national conference will be held in Denver, Colo., from Dec. 27, through Jan. 6. The cost of the conference per delegate, including the delegate fee, hotel and food expense, and transportation, is about $800. I am seeking sponsors as well as individual donations. I would greatly appreciate any support. All donations are tax deductible. Please feel free to contact me: Terry Dempsey, 295 N.

Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 122 - No. 18 — Tuesday, November 23, 1993 Holiday shopping on a tight budget possible with planning by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Halloween's "Trick or Treat" cries have ended and the Thanksgiving turkey is your unthawing in refrigerator awaiting its turn as a holiday star. Just when you congratulate yourself that your cupboards are full and your wallet is not yet empty, you realize that the biggest holiday season of the year is yet to come. The holiday season which spans from Oct. 31 to Jan. 1 can easily empty bank accounts if one is unprepared to work within a budget. With a little thought and organization, the festivities can be enjoyable both and inexpensive. The first way to start saving money is to set priorities. Decide ahead of time the amount you can afford and vow to stick with that decision. There are several ways to start saving toward your holiday purchases. One of these is to start a Christmas Club at your local bank. These allow you to put a weekly deposit into a special account designed to be used for next year's holiday spending. If you start one now, you will receive the money about this time next year. Credit cards are used by many shoppers, but if care isn’t taken they become too convenient. The key is to keep track of purchases and only spend up to the amount you've decided you can afford. For most of us, gifts take up the major part of our holiday budget. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without presents, but they don't have to be expensive to be appreciated. Gifts of service are one way of accomplishing this goal. These can be something as simple as offering someone a no-cost night of baby-sitting or taking your sister's turn at washing dishes. If you have a special talent or hobby, that could provide a means for a gift or service. An example of this would be offering to help fix a friend's car if you are into auto mechanics. Home-made gifts are another possibility. Anything from cookies to sweaters can make personal gifts sure to craft and hobby stores, museum shops or other specialty stores. If that special someone really does seem to have everything, why not try a cheery visit or phone call? Just hearing your voice may be all the present that is needed. After the gifts are all picked out, then comes the need to wrap them. Don't forget to check out the after Christmas half-price sales for paper, rib­ bons and other items. And be sure to store your purchases with your Christmas ornaments so you won't forget where they are next year. Decorations, cards and food are the other holiday items that need to be listed in your budget plans. One of the major concerns is the Christmas tree. After you've decided on either a live or artificial one, the next step is picking it out. Artificial trees can provide many years of use and can be purchased in a wide range of sizes, styles and prices. please. Wrap up your friend's favorite cookies together with Real trees can also be found for a range of sizes and prices. Precautions should be taken a new mug, some fancy tea or coffee and you have an attrac- tive surprise gift. Gifts don’t have to come from crowded shopping malls. Try places such as church bazaars, thrift stores, to ensure that a real tree is well-watered and kept away from heaters or other things that could start a fire. Always See Tight Budget, Page 2 Pottawatomi Indian Mary Brown talks to Fuller students about some of the different kinds of items made by Indians in Michigan. Fuller Elementary third-graders learn about Indian lifestyles by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Students in Tammy Wilde's third-grade class at Fuller Street Elementary School learned about Indians and their lifestyles last week. Donna Brown and her daughter-in-law, Mary Brown, travel around speaking to people about the Indians and try to help them by selling some of their artwork rugs. Donna's great­ grandparents were Indian and Mary's father was a Pottawatomi Indian. "I got involved doing this a long time ago,” said Donna. "I love the Indians' way of life because they love the Earth and the environment. They have a wonderful philosophy and worked hard for what they have." Nashville Lions receive nearly $5,900 from estate by Teresa Frith Staff Writer The Nashville Lions Club received nearly $5,900 last week when it was named as one of the inheritors of the Alice Keihl estate. Glenn Tarrant presented the bequest in behalf of his wife, Sandy, who is Keihl's daugh­ ter. The Keihls operated a hardware store in the area several years ago. The Lions Club is one of several organi­ zations that was left money from the estate. Also on the program was Rick and Cathy Vessechia of Nashvii.e Lions Club President Herb Frith accepts a check for nearly $5,900 from Glenn Tarrant and his wife, Sandra. The money is from the estate of Alice Keihl, a former area resident. Nashville. Rick, along with Rod McMillon of Vermont­ ville, recently returned from an attempt to bicycle across the United States from California to Virginia. The Vessechias spoke to the Lions about the trip and explained why it had not been successful. The trip ended af­ ter only one week after being plagued with problems, in­ cluding the desert heat, dehy­ dration and bad roads. Despite ending early, the pair still managed to collect enough donations to provide new baby scales and other equipment for Pennock Hospital's emergency room. Vessechia's wife, Cathy works at the hospital as a chaplain. The pair were being spon­ sored by the Nashville Lions Club, which helped collect the donations for the hospital equipment fund. The two bicyclists have plans to attempt the trip again some time next year. See Keihl estate, Page 2 Donna Brown holds up an Indian-made rug that shows scenes from their way of life. These and other rugs provide a way of living for some tribes and can be bought all over the United States. In This Issue... • M.V.

Children usually like to hel]nrraR?'bfnaments for the holidays. They can make their own trees out of a Styrofoam cone, assorted types of dry macaroni, glue and paint. First glue the macaroni onto the tree, let it dry, then spray paint it what ever color you like. To make it a little fancier, try sprinkling glitter into the glue before it dries. Kids also like to make pa­ per or popcorn chains, snowflake cutouts and other items. Cards can be purchased at half-off sales or can be home- made. Post cards offer a less expensive way of sending those holiday greetings. Last, but not least, is the holiday meaf. A potluck gettogether can make things eas­ ier for everyone. Each person is assigned a part of the meal, such as the appetizer or dessert, and the hostess pro­ vides the main course. This gives everyone a chance to feel a part of the celebrations and means less cleanup as well. For those with a sweet tooth, try a cookie exchange party. Each person brings sev­ eral dozen homemade cookies along with the recipe. Everyone gets to sample all the different kinds and then KEIHL ESTATE, Donna not only speaks to others about the Indians, but also collects clothing and other items for the needy. She acts as a seller for their craft items, giving the tribes a way to make money without leav­ ing their homes. Mary says that this is her first time speaking to a group. "Donna asked me to come with her to do this," she said. fromfront- "My father used to do it, but I wasn't interested until now.” Both women talked to the children about how the Indians make things such as pottery and rugs, how they lived and how that life was different from how members of the class live. They then answered questions about what they had talked about. take home some of each. All the recipes can be put into a book and shared. These suggestions can help save money, but saving time to share with our friends and relatives during the holidays is also important. Money, saved is of little value, if one hasn't left any time to be with them. Taking some of these sug­ gestions can help your holiday season budget stretch to cover your needs. Make the next few weeks full of fun instead of stress. Plan ahead and you will have a Merry Christmas and a bill-free New Year.

They then trav­ eled to the "river" near a teepee and gathered stones for a fire ring. After making a "fire," the children caught "fish" in the fake river and hung them up on a line. At the com center they gathered ears of com. pretended to make com meal out of it and planted some of it in cups of dirt.

The students who attended seemed to agree with Worth. "It was a motivational expe­ rience," said one of them. "They told us how to set goals and achieve them. They taught us about positive thinking and we got to see what other FFA chapters are doing for their community service projects." While at the convention the students visited the Agricultural Hall of Fame and Farmers Memorial, the Career and Product Show, a profes­ sional rodeo, the Gibson Miller Band concert, a stock and trade show and the his­ toric Elm's Resort.

The celebration took several days of planning to make it work. The children helped make some of the food, as well as the Indian and Pilgrim costumes worn at the meal. Most of the food was cooked right at the school with the help of volunteers and the school cooks. Each child could invite one adult guest. Fuller Principal Sue Hardy was the guest of honor at the dinner. The dinner not only allows the students to enjoy a Thanksgiving feast a few days early at school, it also shows them exactly how complicated it is to make a holiday meal special.

Parks Someone has said, “Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.” Similarly, it could be said that, “Everyone talks about our schools, but few do anything about them.” If you look around your environment, you will find that anything that is of high quality is the result of more than just talking. High quality is normally produced by high interest, personal effort and long-term commitment. These ingredients apply to our homes and our institutions. How can these factors be put into place for better schools? Please consider some of the following possibilities: 1. Determine to take a high interest in your schools. Con­ sider yourself an important stockholder. Take part in its meetings and events. Your presence is important. 2. Expand personal effort to see that high quality plans are made and carried out. Don’t expect someone else to do it for you. In our society schools, largely reflect the quality of those who are actively involved. 3. If your schools have helped you to gain an education and a high quality of life, return the favor and develop a long-term commitment. If you aren’t sure how best to help, please feel free to ask. If we are to have high quality schools, we must do more than just talk about them. Your involvement will not only improve the quality of your schools, but your personal life and your community as well.

The field of candidates in­ cludes Republican Vern Ehlers, Democrat Dale Sprik and Independent Dawn Krupp. The Third District includes all of Kent and Ionia counties and the city of Hastings and Irving, Carlton, Woodland, Rutland, Hastings and Gastieton townships, about two-thirds of Hope Township and a tiny portion of Baltimore Township in Barry County. Ehlers, considered to be the front-runner in the traditional­ ly Republican district, has been a member of the Michigan Senate since 1985. He also served in the Michigan House of Represen­ tatives from 1983 to 1985 and was a Kent County Commis­ sioner from 1975 to 1982. He was a professor of physics at Calvin College before he became involved in politics. He had to overcome seven other GOP candidates in the primary Nov. 2 to win the right to meet Sprik and Krupp next Tuesday. Ehlers cites his experience as his biggest asset in seeking the office.

The Advent wreath comes by Teresa Frith Staff Writer The first Sunday nearest to St. Andrew’s Day (Nov. 30) marks the beginning of Advent, a four-week period preceding Christmas. from Germany and dates back to the middle of the 19th century. It is a circle of greenery with four candles. One candle Purple, which is the color of penance, symbolizes the is lit on each Sunday after Nov. 26 until all are lit by the Advent season. Church vestments are usually purple during this four-week period. Sunday closest to Christmas Day. The observance of Advent seems to have begun in the German custom that has spread to other parts of the sixth century. It is considered a time for Christians to prepare for the birth of Christ. In the Eastern Orthodox Church it begins earlier in the month and lasts six weeks. Two popular ways of cele- world. Most are large pictures with 24 or 25 windows cut into them. These windows usually contain chocolate, small toys or other candies. One window is opened each day, beginning with Dec. 1, brating this holiday period are until Christmas Day arrives. Advent calendars are also a These calendars help chil­ dren count down the days until Christmas arrives. They can be purchased or home­ made. In order to make an Advent calendar you would need drawing paper, pencils, crayons or colored markers, scissors, clear tape or glue and glitter. First draw a Christmas scene on a large piece of pa­ per. Once you have a picture that you like, lightly pencil in 24 or 25 small windows. The windows should be small enough to fit on your paper, but large enough to hold a small picture or candy. Next number the windows. Then go over the drawing in crayon or marker, making sure you take care with the window lines. Cut three sides to each win­ dow. Once that is done, the outside of the calendar is complete. For the little pictures behind your windows, take one or two clean sheets of drawing paper and make enough scenes to fit behind the windows. Make the space between each drawing at least as big as the window box. The drawings can be of anything you like from Christmas scenes to a picture of a family member or pet. Then cut around each picture See Advent season, Page 2 Vern Ehlers troduced in the State Legislature become law. “The issue is having a known quantity, electing so­ meone who can do the job,” he said. “I have a proven record. “I dislike labels, but I’m a fiscal conservative and a moderate in other areas. I’m an independent person. I believe in balancing the budget, but I’m not for going back to the previous century.” A poll recently published in the Grand Rapids Press show­ ed Ehlers with a comfortable Dale Sprik lead of more than 25 percentange points. He said his own polls show him with a slightly smaller lead. However, he isn’t resting on the polls because he said Sprik is an energetic cam­ paigner and apathy could keep his voters awayh from the polls. Sprik, a Grand Rapids area attorney, ran for Congress in 1978 and 1980, losing by nar­ row margins. He also was a social studies teacher at Hastings High See Special election, Page 2 Nashville’s ‘Wish Upon A Star’ program brings joy to local families by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Two local women are working together to make Christmas happier for needy families in the Nashville area through the Hastings City Bank "Wish Upon a Star" tree. This is the seventh annual campaign that Lois Elliston and Michele Hoffman have worked on. A tree was set up in the lobby of the Nashville branch of the Hastings City Bank Nov. 20 and decorated with the paper stars that bear the wishes of local children. Each needy child on the list is expected to receive three gifts through the program. The stars on the tree lists the sex and age of the child, plus one of their three wishes. The gifts should be in the price range of between $5 and $12. Lois Elliston and Micele Hoffman put the finishing touches on this year's Wish Upon a Star Christmas tree in the lobby of the Nashville branch of the Hastings City Bank. The stars on the tree represent the holiday wishes of needy children in the Nashville area. A total of 107 children from 51 local families were on the list as of press time, but more are expected to be added before the campaign ends on Dec. 14. Last year there were more than 145 children from 83 local families on the list by the end of November. Anyone wishing to brighten a child's Christmas may come to the bank and choose a star from the tree. Then they would shop for the gift based on the child's wish, wrap it and attach the star the pack­ age. It must be taken to the bank and placed under the tree by Monday, Dec. 13, at 4 p.m. After the first round of wishes is filled, the second batch of stars will be placed on the tree, to be followed by the child's third wish until all the stars are gone. Organizers hope that all the children's wishes will be filled by the deadline. For those who don't wish to buy a gift, but still want to help, a special fund is being set up for cash donations. Donations are being taken in canisters at local businesses and can be designated to use for gift or food items. This fund will also be used to pur­ chase gifts for the wishes that may not be fullfilled by the end of the program. In order to avoid duplica-■ tions, it is asked that anyone with a star from the tree let the bank know if they will be unable to turn the gift in by the Dec. 13 deadline. The Wish Upon a Star pro­ gram is being done in con­ junction with the Christmas food baskets, in which local schools, businesses, organiza­ tions and community mem­ bers have been collecting non-perishable foods. Perishable items such as roasting chickens, fruits and vegetables will be purchased through money from donations. Money is also received several times a year from the Barry County United Way campaign. Drop boxes are set up at Carl's Market in Nashville, the Eaton County Savings and Loan and local churches for food items. Baskets will be put together Friday, Dec. 17, and distributed the next day to the families on the list. "We receive the names from social services, schools or churches," said Elliston. "Eligibility isn't restricted to income alone. If anyone knows of a family that is go­ ing through financial prob­ lems and could use some help for Christmas, then they could be added to the list." Anonymity of the families is ensured by assigning each star an identification number that corresponds to names on a confidential list of registered families.

We want our gifts to be just the right thing that will make someone happy and not end up as a Dec. 26 return. There are several ways to avoid that fate if one learns to match the gift to the recipient. One of the best methods is to know the persons you are buying the presents for. If you are familiar with their likes and dislikes, then you are on your way to picking out a suitable gift. For instance, if you are planning to buy clothing, then make sure you know the person's correct size. You can't judge size by appearance alone and expect to get it right. Pay attention to someone's hobbies, job or other everyday things that could lend itself to picking out a present. For in­ stance, if your friend is always losing her keys, then you might get her a large key ring. If your grandfather collects pipes or your boss loves dogs, then plan your gift according to those things. Another way to discover these likes or hobbies is to discreetly suggest gifts in conversation. If your cousin's eyes light up every time you mention how well he'd look in a new jacket, then buy him that instead of another tie. Another thing to remember is to try not to get them something that they might buy for themselves. If your wife's can opener just died, don't run out and buy a new one. The fun of getting a present is to get something unexpected. Preventing returns will be simpler if a few short steps are followed. First vow to never buy another tie or bottle of perfume unless you are certain the recipient needs or wants them Gifts should be personal, especially if buying them for a woman. Gift suggestions for a woman might be jewelry, lingerie or something that fits her hobby or job field. A man might be more inter­ ested in something more con­ servative like a nice suit, a pair of warm gloves and a scarf or something hobby orjob. for his Age should always be con­ sidered when buying presents for children. Be sure that the toy is appropriate and safe. Age guidlines printed on some toys can be helpful. Babies up to about 2 years old won't really know what Superintendent’s Corner ‘Thanks’ to our local Newspaper BY Dr. Ozzie D. Parks In this Thanksgiving season, I would like to say thanks to the Maple Valley News owners, advertisers, editor and our local writer, Teresa Frith, for their publishing of school news throughout the year. They have continued to provide our school and community with continuous, comprehensive coverage of school events and issues. Mrs. Frith has conscientiously done her “homework” to assure that the facts and figures are correct and has kept in touch with what is going on in the district and at each building. Last week’s edition was a good example of how the Maple Valley News has provided pictures and articles describing what is happening in our classrooms, related activities and student achievements. We are especially thankful for this coverage since the publishing of our school newsletter has been discontinued because of a shortage of funds. One of the goals of education is to develop a well informed citizenry. Local newspapers, such as ours, help us to achieve that goal. Anyone who thinks that all newspapers print only the bad news hasn’t become acquainted .with the Maple Valley News. In my last article, I suggested that some of the ways to achieve high quality schools include taking a high interest, exex­ pending personal effort and developing a long-term commit­ ment. Those who write, edit and sponsor the Maple Valley News have exhibited these qualities and have set a good exam­ ple for our community. I hope that others will join me in saying thanks to those who make our local newspaper and the information it provides possible.

Students from the rooms of various areas ever since. Besides arrowheads, he has uncovered grinding stones, primitive hammers, stone knives and tomahawks. "The best place to find things are in freshly plowed land or someplace where there is open ground with lit­ tle plants or grass," he told the students. After hearing Scott speak, the children got a chance to mix corn bread and muffins. The muffins were then baked in the school cafeteria ovens. The finished treats were to be served at a special school program later in the week. The final stop was in Bohms' room to make and cook Navajo fry bread. The program is part of a continuing study on Indians and their lifestyles. The classes are also collecting clothing and other items to send a care package to needy Indian tribes in North and South Dakota that they heard about from a woman who gave a talk at the school last week.

South M-37, Hastings 945-9526 �The Maple Valley New*, Nashville, Tuesday, November 30, 1993 — Page 10 It’s a good idea to practice food safety over holidays The holidays are special times for getting together with families and friends. Potlucks, dinners, office par­ ties — the list of social occa­ sions that involve food is endless. These events are time for enjoyment, not an upset stomach. Food safety requires special attention at these festive occasions as one of is usually handling large amounts of food, preparing it in a busy kitchen and often serving the refreshments buf­ fet style. All of these con­ tribute to the possibility of food poisoning. Whether you’re taking food to an event or serving it to people who come to your home, safe food handling will reduce the chance that so- meone will contact a foodborne illness. Keeping foods safe and wholesome is not difficult, but it does require some planning. Remember to keep hot foods 140 degrees F or hot higher. And keep cold foods cold — 40 degrees or lower. Limit the possibility of cross­ contamination of foods — transfer of bacteria from raw food to cooked food or raw food that won’t be cooked — by washing cutting boards, utensils and hands frequently. When serving perishable foods such as meat, fish, shellfish, poultry, milk and eggs, prepare several small serving trays or dishes and replace perishables and serv­ ing dishes, trays and utensils frequently. Keep perishables in the refrigerator until serv­ ing time and use a clean tray, dish or spoon with each fresh batch. Serve hot food from chafing dishes or warming trays that maintain the internal temperature of the food at 140°F or above. For cold foods, nestle the serving dish into a bed of crushed ice. Foods that have been held at room temperature for more than two hours during serving should be discarded. Dips for vegetables, fruits and snacks often contain sour cream, milk, yogurt or 1994 Eaton County Fair theme contest to be held 4-H members and clubs are invited to submit up to three themes per club for the 1994 Eaton County 4-H Fair. The winning theme will be used on thecover of the fair book and in decorating 4-H club booths at the fair. The Eaton County 4-H Fair dates are July 10-16. All theme suggestions should be sent to the Eaton Engagements County MSU Extension office in Charlotte by Dec. 20. The theme will be selected at the Jan. 10 Council meeting to be held at 7:30 p.m. at the new Extension office on Charlotte Drive.

Replace the dip, the container and any serving utensils each time to minimize cross-contamination from one batch of the dip to the next. If raw foods need to be cooked prior to party time, make sure they are thoroughly cooked before serving and held at 140 degrees or higher. If food must be prepared ahead of time, cook hot foods and store them in the refrigerator or, for longer storage, in the freezer. Foods cook quicker in several small portions rather than in one large batch. Use a food thermometer to check the temperature of food. Reheat cooked foods thoroughly — to 160 degrees or higher — before serving and hold at 140 degrees or higher.

Atherton bought The area could become a the property and would like to subdivision where people would buy the lots and build homes on them, with some re­ strictions on the finished units. Atheron estimated that the lots could cost under $10,000 for the land with the cost of the homes being extra. Two candidates vie for Vermontville president by Teresa Frith Staff Writer There will be a contest between two presidential hopefuls in Vermontville's March 1994 general election. Incumbent President Sue Villanueva, a Democrat, will compete with Republican Nyle Wells, a current village trustee. Nyles is in the third year of a four-year term of office as a trustee. If he is elected to the president's slot, he will be required to resign his current position and the council will have to appoint a replacement. Three incumbents are running for the three four- year trustee terms that will be open. They are Rod Harmon (R), Donald Martin (D) and Lloyd Wolever (D). Incumbent Kathleen Marsh (R) will again run for treasurer and incumbent Sharon Stewart (D) will run for village clerk. Both positions carry a four-year term of office. A primary will not be necessary since the number of candidates matches the positions open. The general election will be held March 14. For more information, call the village office at (517) 726-1429. Sue Villanueva Nyle Wells Santa Claus is coming to Nashville Dec. 11 by Teresa Frith Staff Writer You better not cry and you better not pout, cause Santa Claus is coming to Nashville Saturday, Dec. 11. Several village organiza- tions, including the Chamber of Commerce, Friends of the Library, Maple Valley Jaycees and the Village Council are working with the Maple Valley Day Care Center, Barry County Santa Claus sits with a little girl in this photo from local Christmas activities last year. He'll be in Nashville on Dec. 11 at 10 a.m. at the Putnam Library. Christian School and several community members to make the holiday activities come to­ gether. Santa is expected to be at the Putnam Library at 10 a.m. Saturday to share milk and cookies, donated by the Friends of the Library, with the children. He will then read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to the children. The Barry County Holly Trolley will be in town to give rides from 10 a.m. to until 2 p.m. Passengers will be treated to a fun ride around the village. The chamber plans some special activities for this year’s Christmas program. "The Chamber of Commerce has always sup­ ported these Christmas events," said Secretary Mary Ohler. "But this year we wanted to make things even bigger and better for the chil­ dren." After Santa's visit, the chil­ dren can head to the Masonic Temple, where parents from the Maple Valley Preschool and Day Care Center will help them decorate ornaments. While there, they can also get their pictures taken with Santa Claus. Once the ornaments are decorated, the children and Santa will go to Central Park and place the ornaments on a special Christmas tree. "This is a very special part of the Christmas events for us this year," said Ohler. "The chamber, along with the Christian School, will have a village tree in the park for ev­ eryone to enjoy. It will be something everyone in the vil­ lage can call their own, espe­ cially the children." After decorating the tree, the children can go for a ride through town on the Holly Trolley with Santa Claus. After the ride, they will return to the Masonic Temple for hot chocolate and Christmas Carols sponsored by the Maple Valley Jaycees. The children will be able to pick up their pictures with Santa and their ornament at the library starting Dec. 18. "We really appreciate ev­ eryone involved for making this all come together," said Ohler. "We really appreciate everyone who was willing to help us out to make this year's Santa visit one that the chil­ dren will remember a long time." Anyone interested in help­ ing to decorate the tree, do­ nate ornaments for it or help in any way on the day of the events should call Ohler at 852-9593. He asked the council Jast month for its support of his ideas and said that it would take several months to a year to do the platting of the lots. After forming a committee to study what role the village might play in such a project, the council determined it could cost more than $300,000 to put in the needed facilities. The estimated costs would cover items such as the running of sewer and water lines to the area, the place­ ment of stubs for water and sewer to each lot, a new sewer lift station, a new water well (if needed), plus the placement of roads, lighting and other necessary items. Council members debated on whether or not Vermontville's population could be expected to grow enough to support such a pro­ ject. They also expressed their concerns over the estimated cost to put in the needed items. After a long discussion, members agreed to have a committee further discuss the proposed plan with Atherton. They will discuss with him what parts of the plan he might consider funding or be responsible for putting in. In other council business Thursday: • Discussed a recent prob­ lem with the wrong size of sidewalk being placed on a section on the east side of South Main Street that is be­ ing replaced.

James Hynes and Dirk Meersma will run, along with current Trustee Carroll Wolff, who was appointed earlier this year to fill a vacancy when former President Pro Tem Ted Spoelstra moved into the village president slot. Spoelstra, who moved up when former President Raymond Hinkley resigned earlier this year, will be unop­ posed for village president. Also running unopposed are incumbents Lois Elliston for treasurer and Cathy Lentz for clerk. Lentz was appointed to her position earlier this year when former Clerk Rose Heaton resigned. Incumbent Trustees Richard Chaffee and Dick Tobias chose not to run again. Tobias, who has served on the council for two years, is not running because of health problems. Chaffee has been in his cur­ rent position for eight years and didn't give a reason to the village clerk for not running for another term. All the candidates are run­ ning on the Republican ticket. Candidates without political affiliation still may file a qualifying petition at the village hall by Tuesday, Dec. 14, in order to get on the ballot. Their names then would appear on the general election ballot March 14. A primary election will not be necessary since the number of candidates matches the ex­ pected vacancies.

It sings, it dances and for only a few dollars more it will play its own piano! Mother knows that the bat­ teries for Wonder Toy aren’t included and the piano is an extra expense. But her child's eyes have already glazed over and she is screaming, "Mommy! I wanna Wonder Toy!" Five minutes earlier she was asking for something entirely different. What's a parent to do when it comes to buying their children a gift for Christmas that not only fits the child, but won't wreck the household budget at the same time? Buying children's holiday gifts means a choice between the old-fashioned or tradi­ tional items and the newfan­ gled or cartoon age items on today's market. You must not only consider your budget, & 1!S* !S* ew | ^khittjtfiji!i ^hntiii fttlltm® ni fajtaujj i fit k kill Kirtiy ■utotaofCnf 3ft tejlftktap. I Itt ima'sfte M tat ail fiiftCrfa'8 but also the age and disposition of the child. The most common age breakdowns are from birth to 3 years, 3 to 5 years old, 6 to 10,11-13 and 14-17. From birth to 3 years old is a magical time when a child grows from a helpless tiny being to a "real" little person. As this transformation takes place, a parent wonders what sort of toys are appropriate. Though a newborn can't re­ ally play with a toy, a child from birth to about six weeks may enjoy such things as a non-breakable mirror placed on the side of the crib, brightly colored pictures of faces, crib mobiles and other familiar baby toys such as rattlers or teethers. As your child gets closer to • a year old, he or she will probably play with toys that we ourselves might have had as a child. These are things such as stuffed animals, soft dolls, push/pull toys, nesting blocks, stacking towers or similar items. Other toys that never seem to lose their fascination for the under 3 group are play telephones, simple picture books with heavy cardboard pages, simple riding toys, bath toys, balls, large building blocks such as Duplo, as well as common kitchen items such as plastic mixing cups. Be sure to avoid the smallerr Lego-type building blocks, , mW# because these are easily swallowed by young children. Pre-school age children change rapidly in the years between 3 and 5. They have i H Toys will always play a big part in every child’s life, whehter homemade or store bought. Make your child’s holiday season a safe and happy one with gifts that will be remembered. usually mastered potty training and are well on their way to starting nursery school or kindergarten. These children are able to do many things and their energy levels are high. They tend to enjoy make believe games such as playing house, outside games, books, music and art projects. Toys such as tricycles, play food and toy kitchen appli­ ances are good choices. Other familiar possibilities are traditional items such as coloring books, Lincoln logs or other building blocks, art supplies or simple easy-to-read books. Safety is an important factor in buying toys for children of all ages, but especially in the 5 and under group. There are several ways to insure that the toys you buy are safe. One of these is to read the ages listed on the toys. The manufacturers put these there for good reasons and parents should be on the look-out for them. Manufacturers use a special tool called a truncated cylin­ der test tube to test potential toys for the under three age group. This item has an opening the size of a child's throat. If a toy fits through the opening, it is considered un­ safe for children under 3 years items. The largest toy market seems to be in the 6- to 12year-old market. These kids are more sophisticated in their wants and needs. They may also feel pressure from their friends to own or do the same things as everyone else is do­ ing. Popular items for these kids are bicycles, cartoon action figures, Nintento or other computer type systems and games, Barbie or similar dolls, board games and clothing with their favorite cartoon or television characters on it. Traditional items such as small metal cars, puzzles, Lego blocks or outside toys like baseball equipment or skates are also popular. Once the pre-teen years roll by, today's teen-agers are not as interested in the usual toys. They tend to prefer items such as clothing, radios, small television sets, skateboards, sports equipment, camping supplies and computer items. When in doubt, get your teenager a gift certificate at his favorite store. Toys will always play a big part in every child's life, whether homemade or store bought.

"We already have four people ready to move in now." Janice previously worked for six years at. the Maple Knoll Manor Adult Foster Care Home in Charlotte. She and her husband, Dwane, will both operate and live in the Parkview home. The home offers an ex­ tended family atmosphere with many homey touches. There are three bedrooms be­ sides the Blanche's room. Each is designed for two people and has two beds and other furniture. "With two people in each room there is both someone to talk to and someone to go for help if there is a problem in the middle of the night," said Janice. The house has two large living rooms complete with couches, chairs, a television, bookcase and other furniture. There are two bathrooms and two eating areas, one off from the kitchen and one near the front living room. "This will be the residents' home," said Dwane. "They are free to go anywhere they like and can have guests visit or eat with them." Home, located at 148 E.

The Blanches only ask that visiting hours be between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. and that they be given a day's notice if a resident will have a guest at a meal in order to be prepared for it The home offers 24-hour care with someone to oversee the residents' needs. The Blanches will help the resi­ dents with their laundry, see to it that they get good nutri­ tional meals and the proper medication, are safe from falls or do anything else for the residents that needs to be done. "This is a place you can come when you can't take care of yourself," said Dwane. "We offer a caring atmosphere and a place where no one has to be alone. They will have someone to talk to their own age." In order to qualify for resi­ dency at Parkview, a person must be ambulatory and not be bed ridden. The home is a private-pay facility and does­ n't accept payment from SSI. However, if a private medical insurance policy will pay a portion of the monthly fees, a patient can file with it to help pay for care. "The monthly rent here is less than what you would pay at a nursing home and it covers everything," said Dwane, who declined to say specifically what the cost is. Parkview is licensed through the Department of Social Services of Michigan and is running on a six-month probationary license. At the end of the six-month period, the house will be re-inspected and be eligible for a two-year license. Afterward, the home is re-licensed every two years. "We plan on some im­ provements to the outside once the weather is warmer," • said Dwane.

In the warm, dry air inside most homes, cut greens dry out quickly and may pose a significant fire hazard. Michigan State Univesity Ex­ tension safety specialist Howard Doss urges people to use only freshly cut greens and to keep the cut ends in water whenever possible. The best way to get fresh greens for decorating is to take them from your own landscape plants, suggests Mary McLellan, Master Gardener coordinator at MSU. Most landscape evergreens can be pruned in December to yield materials for decorating. Some greens stay fresh longer and hold their needles better than others indoors, she Area School MENUS notes. Fresh pine is probably the longest-lived of the narrow-leafed evergreens, but pitch from cut stems can damage wood finishes and fabrics. December is also not the best time to prune pines, so any branches cut should be chosen carefully to avoid damaging the tree’s shape and ornamental value. Hemlock and spruce drop their needles relatively quick­ ly indoors, so they’re better for door swags, wreaths and other outdoor decorations. Other evergreens — fir, yew, cedar and juniper — also tend to dry fairly quickly unless their stems are kept in water. The same preservatives us­ ed in the water in the Christmas tree stand can help extend the life of cut greens, McLellan says. If you can’t keep greens in water, figure on replacing them every few days. Broadleafed evergreens, such as American holly and rhododendron, and branches from berry-bearing shrubs can - -- N--O--W-- SIGN U P add their beauty to outdoor decorations. Berries and foliage often drop quickly indoors. Evergreens in water will dry out indoors, Doss points out. You can extend their life by using them only in cool locations and keeping them away from hot air registers, radiators, direct sunlight and heat-generating appliances such as televisions. To minimize the fire hazard, keep greens away from candles, wood-burning stoves, ONLY 9 MORE DAYS ... to enter this fabulous GIVE-A WA Y!

Also avoid com­ bining greens with strings of Christmas tree lights. A broken wire or a short could provide an igniting spark, he explains.

Heaton' showed students chance to see the work of someone from the community how to use a special low fire and how they've turned it into polymer clay compound to fashion many different types of beads or other designs. The finished beads or pendants can be used to make necklaces, bracelets, earrings or other jewelry. Each student was able to make their own pieces of jewelry to take home. "I use the Venetian glass bead technique to make my jewelry," said Heaton. "You start with the blank bead and add different colors or patterns to it. The colors are rolled into the blank bead and then it is baked in an oven to finish it." Heaton has been making jewelry for about three years and has developed it into a business. She sells her jewelry in shops in Frandor, and ships it to several shops on the East Coast. She also will make jewelry to fit what a customer might want. "I love to take a pattern from someone and make the jewelry using that idea," said Heaton. "It would usually take me about a week or so to finish an item for someone." Heaton will have an open house at her home at 218 E. Francis St. in Nashville from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

The students learned about the tribe last month after hearing a talk about Indians and their lifestyles from Donna and Mary Brown. The Browns are related to different Indian tribes and travel around the United States, speaking on Indians. The students wanted to help one of the tribes Brown talked about and started a campaign among all four third-grade rooms to collect useful items.

Par^s Our school has adopted an educational philosophy called outcomes-based education (OBE) and followed it for the past three years with very good results. This philosophy has been widely accepted across our state and nation. In recent days, however, this philosophy has been question­ ed and criticized by some in the media. This questioning and criticism has come as a surprise to most educators and likely has confused community members. The topic bears updating. First, let’s review the basic premises behind the OBE philosophy. They include the following beliefs: 1. That the focus in education should center on what we desire as final results, rather than on inputs such as what courses we offer, offer and that everyone who has an interest in the educational process should know what the desired achievements toward the end results are at each step of the journey. 2. That all, or almost all, students are capable of achieving essential skills and knowledge when the desired results are well defined and instruction is varied to meet their needs. 3. piat regular assessment of progress and adjustments in instruction to meet the needs of different learning styles and aptitudes makes it possible for most, if not all students, to achieve the desired results. Following these premises, we have had much greater suc­ cess in our elementary school mathematics program. We are hoping for similar success in other grade levels and curriculum areas. With this kind of success, why is the philosophy and program being questioned? The following criticisms have been made: 1. The general outcomes which have been developed are too “vague and fluffy” and subject to interpretation. For example, ““The student will be a competent and productive member of society who is open to new ideas. 2. The instruction will be so focused on minimal skills that high aptitude students will be bored and held back. 3. Slower students may have to spend more time in schooling to meet the standards. How should we respond to these questions and criticisms? My recommendations are as follows: 1. Realize that general outcomes are expressed in general terms, but specific outcomes will spell out in more detail what is desired. These outcomes are developed at the local level and subject to community review before they are implemented. If you want to be sure that they are appropriate, you are welcome to be involved in the process. 2. We are aware of the need to provide advanced oppor­ tunities after students exhibit mastery of the basics. We plan, with your support, to improve upon our present practices in this area so that advanced students will not be held back in their learning. In fact, they should be able to proceed at a faster pace. 3. Although it may be necessary initially for slower students to spend more time to meet higher standards, research in­ dicates that when they truly master basic essential skills, they speed up in their mastery of higher level skills later. Outcomes-based education continues to have promise to im­ prove the education of all students. The way in which it is im­ plemented is the key. It is being developed at the local level, where you can be involved. Don’t miss your opportunity to be a part of this plan for improvement. THE WINNING TEAM Call Scholarship Foundation funds top $100,000 The Maple Valley Memorial Scholarship Foun­ dation’s base funds without interest now t/otal $108,088.20. On Nov. 24, a check from the Alice Keihl estate for $38,061.84 was received. This is the second time the scholarship foundation has received money from an estate, but the first time it has been in the form of a named scholarship. In 1986, the MYMSF was established as a non-profit charitable foundation, with four incorporators: Junia Jarvie, Dorothy Carpenter, David Dimmers and Kevin Kilpatrick. Within the articles of incorporation and bylaws, among other things, provision is made for accepting many kinds of assets. Five years ago, in 1988, the board of directors set $10,000 as the minimum donation for a named award (scholarship). This is the first named scholarship received by MYMSF. In accordance with Mrs. Keihl’s wishes, the interest earned for the $38,061.84 will be awarded each year to a deserving student graduating from Maple Valley High School, to assist in his or her first year of college or univer­ sity education. In her will, Alice Keihl noted: “Due to my interest in furthering the education of young men and young women in my community, I am establishing the above scholarship.” Dorothy Carpenter noted, “We have been anxious for the first named scholarship, Mapes Family Florist Those interested or who know someone who is may contact the Eaton County MSU Extension office at 543-2310 or 372-5594.

"Village Treasurer Lois Elliston then told us that a mitten tree was needed." Elliston said that in the past the village has received mit­ tens from older ladies in the community who knit, but stopped getting them when the women died or were no longer in the area. "The Mitten Tree is some­ thing that we've needed for a long time," said Elliston. "People remember when we did it before and still ask if we have any mittens." There are a total of 107 children from 51 local fami­ lies on the Wish Upon a Star list. It is hoped that at least 100 pairs of mittens or gloves will be placed on the Mitten Tree. All mittens and gloves should be placed on the tree Gary Lee Erdman SUNFIELD - Gary Lee Cassel of Lake Odessa, and Erdman, 42, passed away Diane (Ferry) Anthony of Tuesday, November 30, 1993 West Beach, West Virginia, in four four brothers, brothers, Gordon Gordon (Sue) (Sue) in Hastings.

South M-37, Hastings 945-9526 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, December 7, 1993 — Page 14 Young, 'with potential’ coach calls Lion matmen Wrestling coach Chris Ricketts has only three return­ ing starters on this year's Maple Valley team, and one of the new crop of boys, James Egan, has to put on weight before be is even able to wrestle. Egan weighs a little over 80 pounds, and the minimum weight for a wrestler in the 103 weight class is 88 lbs. However, to balance the team, there are seven return­ ing members from last year's team. The veterans are Lance Mead, Chris Carpenter, Jon Gross, Adam Harris, Foye Pierce, Mike Morgan and Nick Gilmore. Ricketts will be looking for leadership from these juniors and seniors because of the nearly two dozen freshmen and sophomores on the team. He also will look for help from his three returning starters, Mead, Harris and Gilmore, for leadership on the team. He said that because of the number of freshmen and sophomores, the team lacks experience and in the pre-sea­ son practice, he is spending a great deal of time on the basic moves, some combinations and the conditioning of the team. "We are a very young team," Ricketts said. "We have one senior who trans­ ferred from Bath (Ashley Sears), and the rest are mostly freshmen and sophomore, so there is a lot of potential to tap into and we plan on really developing as the season pro­ gresses." He added that the key to a winning season will be keep­ ing everyone healthy and with "hard work and determina­ tion." He said he suspects this team has those qualities ex­ pects a winning record throughout the season. The Lions will open their season at the Concord Invitational Saturday morn­ ing. The Maple Valley wrestling team includes: front row from left, Mike Egan, Lance Mead, Adam Harris and James Egan. Second row: Matt Knoll, A.J. Appelman, Jon Gross, Nick Gilmore, Mike Morgan and Brian Bennett. Third row: Shane Gillean, T.J. Burton, Chad Rogers, David Dunn, Tim Harmon, Brady Simpson and Matt Thayer. Missing from the photo are .Chris Carpenter, Foye Pierce, Scott Herman and Ashley Sears. The team is coached by Chris Ricketts, assisted by Drew Pixley, Ron Boucher, Tony Wawiemia and Nelson Appelman. Statisticians are Michelle Dennis and Brandy Wawiemia. Many teams with returning starters in SMAA, not Lions Several boys' basketball teams in the Southern Michigan Athletic Association will have many returning starters, including Dansville's four-year veteran Adam Jones, and Lansing Christian with several from their quarter-finalist team from last year. Olivet, the early pick to win the SMAA title, also has sev­ eral key returning players. But not so for the Maple Valley boys' team. The only returning starter from last year will be forward Gabe Priddy, who at 6 feet 2 inches tall, averaged 12 points and five rebounds per game. Gone from this year's team will be all-conference player Greg Gam. In the 1992-93 season, the Maple Valley team finished third in the SMAA at 3-3 and had an overall record of 7-14. "This will be a rebuilding year," said 26-year veteran basketball coach Jerry Reese. "We will have a youthful look with three seniors, seven ju­ niors and two sophomores." He added that the team should develop into a very competitive squad as the team grows and becomes more ex­ perienced. Other returning lettermen are Brent Stine, Cory Hamilton, Justin Lake and Jon Mitchell. Last year Mitchell, at center, averaged seven points per game and Lake, at forward, averaged six. Reese also has two new centers-in-training in sopho­ mores Scott Heyboer, at 6-2, and 6-5 Aaron Tobias.

December 14. 1993 Nashville girl, 8, killed in local accident Friday afternoon by Teresa Frith Staff Writer A Nashville girl was killed Friday afternoon when she was hit by a truck on her way home from school. Eight-year-old Treah Spencer, a second-grader at Fuller Street Elementary School, reportedly walked in front of a truck on M-66 about 150 feet from Railroad Street about 2:40 p.m. while on her way to her babysitter's home. The accident happened shortly after school had let out. The girl was crossing from the west side of the road in front of the northbound truck, driven by Russell Blakely of Nashville, according to Nashville Police Chief Gene Koetje. She was taken to Pennock Hospital in Hastings, where she died. Police officials say that the truck was not speeding and may have been going under the 30 mph speed limit. Treah Spencer According to Koetje, the truck driver has not been found to be at fault and the accident is still under investigation. "Everyone involved in this accident is a victim," said Koetje. "Treah, her parents, the witnesses and the truck driver. It’s a tragedy." Three other students, one of which was the babysitter's daughter, were with Spencer and witnessed the accident. Maple Valley School Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks said that school officials held meetings over the weekend to discuss the need to counsel students at Fuller Elementary School about the accident. Spencer was the daughter of Steve and Barbara Spencer, 320 Fuller St. in Nashville. Besides being a student at Fuller Street Elementary School, she was a member of the Charlotte Community Gymnastics program, played soccer and was a Nashville Brownie Scout. Spencer’s immediate family includes her parents, her sister Chelsea Elizabeth (3 years old): her grandparents, Mary Beard and Joan Spencer of Grand Ledge, Marvin Spencer of Pueblo, Colo.; and Herman and Pearl Sealy of Crystal. See Accident, Page 2 Catholic youth group raises money for Nashville’s needy Hastings City Bank manager retires after nearly 48 years by Teresa Frith Staff Writer When Eloise Wheeler be­ gan working at the Central National Bank in Nashville in 1945, she was a 16-year-old girl who had no idea that she'd still be there after nearly 48 years. Wheeler started work on June 1, 1945, one week after graduating from Nashville High School. She was hired as a bookkeeper after being recommended by a friend working at the bank part time. "Someone was quitting and they contacted me to see if I wanted the job," said Wheeler. "I was tickled to get the job, but never thought I would stay until I was 65 years old." Shortly after her employ­ ment the bank became Security National Bank and Wheeler remained assigned to the Nashville branch. The bank was to go through two more name changes during her career. On June 19, 1948, she married Vem Wheeler, a 1944 Nashville High School grad­ uate. Vem owned what is now the Nashville Shell/Cappon's Quick Mart station for several See Manager retires. Page 2 by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Needy families in this area will have a merrier holiday season thanks to a group of teens from the St. Cyril Catholic Church in Nashville. The church youth group recently held a dance that brought In $234.10 to help pay for community food baskets and gifts for the village "Wish Upon A Star" program. The two projects work together to provide food, toys and warm clothing to local needy families. "I'm very proud of what this group has accomplished," said youth group advisor Sue Dunham. She added that the Maple Valley schools contributed the use of the building and disc jockey Kyle Christopher donated his time at the dance. Each of the teenagers also took a star from the "Wish Upon A Star" tree. Each star represents the wish of one of the needy children in the area. The Wish Upon A Star program expects to provide presents to more than 107 children. The group presented the money to Nashville Village Treasurer Lois Elliston, who thanked them and said that the check would help ensure that all the children's wishes could be fulfilled. The teens also expect to help put together the gifts and food baskets later this week when they are readied for each family to pick up in time for Christmas. Teens from the St. Cyril's Catholic Church Youth Group in Nashville (from left) Angelo Walliezek, Jim Dunham, Riley Fowler, Matt Wallecyek, Corin Guernsey and Leslie Guernsey present Nashville Village Treasurer Lois Elliston a check for $234.10 for the Wish Upon A Star program.

Eloise Wheeler, branch manager of the Nashville branch of Hastings City Bank, will retire at the end of this year. Wheeler's career has spanned 48 years of service. Sewer expansion pre-application to remain on file Mulberry Fore Golf Course sewer grant not dead yet, say officials by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Mulberry Fore Golf Course's proposal to build a sewer infrastructure for a proposed expansion project re­ mained alive Thursday. Nashville Council members last week voted to allow Mulberry Fore’s grant pre-application to remain on file with the Farmers Home Administration (FmHa). The pre-application originally was sent in October and was rejected by the FmHA because no more funds were available. FmHA officials also recommended some changes in the sewer project structuring that could bring down the total cost. Council Thursday heard from Joe Rahn, executive di­ rector of the Joint Economic Development Commission, who is helping Mulberry Fore owners Tim and Alice Boucher get together the nec­ essary paperwork to apply for the $310,000 grant. The money will be used for putting in the needed sewer system for the expansion pro- ject for a recreation vehicle other improvements to the Mulberry Fore Golf Course. park.

Both the Village of Nashville and dastleton Township have held several meetings in the past few months on this topic, with both the pros and cons of the proposed project discussed with local citizens. The council also discussed a need to test the soil on the old Department of Public Works garage. The council wants to know if the ground has been contaminated by either the salt stored in the building over the years or other possible pollutants from the time when a gasoline service station was located there.

In other business last week, the council: • Announced. _that^ a proposal to allow the council to hire a village manager will go before local Voters tn holidays. • Voted to allow the DPW to spend more than $500 to repair the village street sweeper. • Discussed alleged problems with the adult education classes now being held at the Community Building at March. Enough signatures were received from petitions circulated around the-village to allow it to be placed on the ballot. If the voters turn down the new ordinance that makes allowances for a village manager to be hired, then council will be unable to go any further in getting one. • Voted to give annual Christmas bonuses of $50 to full-time village employees and $25 to part-timers. The bonus will be issued in the form of certificates that can only be spent at Nashville businesses. • Voted to change the Dec. 23 council meeting to Monday Dec. 20 since the village hall offices will close early on Dec. 23. • Announced that village offices will be open for a half day on both Dec. 23 and 30 and closed on both Dec. 24 and 31 in recognition of the Christmas and New Year's Putnam Park. There have been reports of students being unsupervised, firewood not being replaced when it runs out and other problems. Council members plan to speak to someone with authority over the students to discuss the alleged problems. • Discussed alleged prob­ lems at the transfer recycle site with the accountability of some oil products being left for recycling. Stricter guide­ lines to ensure better tracking of what is being dropped off, who left it, and where they are from are under consideration. • Approved making future cost-of-living adjustments for village employees to be fig­ ured only once a year instead of quarterly. According to the village clerk, this action should not result in any money loss, but would allow the money to be received all at once, instead of several times a year.

MANAGER RETIRES, years before opening Wheeler Marine Service in Nashville in 1951. After her marriage, Wheeler continued working at the bank. She was promoted to a junior commercial teller's post in January 1955. She took off work shortly after that for the births of her two sons, Mark and Steve, and returned to work part time in January 1958. "In those days you couldn't take a leave of absence for the birth of a child," said Wheeler. "The only option was to quit and come back at a later date." She returned to full-time duties as a teller two years later in September 1960. The following year she was trans­ ferred to the Urbandale branch, returning to Nashville in March of 1962. She has received several promotions over the years. She was named branch secre­ tary in 1971, bank officer in 1976, administrative assistant in June 1979 and has been the branch manager since November 27,1979. She remained branch man­ ager through Security National Bank's sale to Comerica a few years later, and through its sale to Hastings City Bank in 1987.

"I liked the contact with other people and getting to know the customers," she said. "I also have had a really good staff who are like an ex­ tended family to me" Technology has changed dramatically over the past 48 years, since Wheeler started at the bank. She has gone from using a posting machine to settle accounts and working out of a single teller's drawer to using computer systems that still change frequently and every teller working out of his or her own money drawer. "All the statements were done at the same time and put on posting sheets for the cus­ tomers to pick up," she said. "Everyone used to pick up their own statements and can­ celed checks instead of them getting mailed like they are today." Besides working at the bank, Wheeler also found time to raise her family, serve as a board member of the Maple Valley Memorial Scholarship Foundation and In honor of Wheeler's 48 years of service the bank has declared Dec. 29 as Eloise Wheeler Day. A party will be held at the bank. Her last day at work will be Dec. 31. Though she is retiring from her job at the bank, Wheeler will continue to help with the bookkeeping at Wheeler Marine Service. "Now I won't have to do the books at night," she said. 'Til have more time to do that and other things." Wheeler added that she will miss her work at the bank. "I will be sorry to leave, but will keep in touch with every­ one. We aren't going any­ where and will still be in the area." Wheeler recently was rec­ ognized for her upcoming re­ tirement by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, which gave her a corsage. The Wheelers' son Steven (36) lives in Nashville and works with his father at Wheeler Marine Service. His brother Mark (37) is professor of economics at Western Michigan University. Both are Maple Valley High School graduates. as treasurer of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. Her hobbies have included baking, reading and sewing.

Unfortunately, the good spirit of the holiday never comes alone — it is always haunted by the specter of tragedy. The extent to which this nightmare is permitted to destroy our holiday dream depends entirely on how responsibly we govern our ac­ tivities and those of our com­ munity’s children. It’s tragic that some of us, as consenting adults, will take our own lives and those of our neighbors because we are un­ willing to celebrate the holidays in a responsible man­ ner. It is criminal that others will actively contribute to the destruction of our children through an insidious desire to be a “regular guy,” or derive financial profit. What we are talking about is furnishing alcoholic beverages to minors. The law makes no distinc­ tion between a bartender or a private individual when it pro­ vides up to three months in jail for selling or giving alcoholic beverages to minors, nor does it matter who paid for it. Those who feel they can per­ mit the children of others to drink in their homes are also fatally deluding themselves. Not only is this variation of furnishing to minors criminal in itself, but if that child leaves the premises and causes the death or injury of him or herself of others, the financial, emotional and even physical toll on the “host” may be staggering. All may rest assured that such blatant disregard for the welfare of our youth will find no sympathy whatsoever in the law enforcement community.

On Dec. 2 there was a blood drive at Maple Valley High School. The faculty advisor was ill and unable to attend. This made us all a little ner­ vous for a while, but in meeting with Larry Lenz, principal, and co-chairs Stacee Hawkins and Rytha Byrd, we decided we could do it. Not to mention that the girls wanted to make Mr. Ricketts proud. There were a few problems first thing in the morning, no cups for juice or coffee and a few too many people schedul­ ed for the first couple hours, nothing major. After a while, everything started running smoothly and we ended up with a successful blood drive, run by a wonderful bunch of young people. They were all very pleasant to work with. No matter what was asked of them, they bent over backwards to accommodate us. I do have to say that notoriously teenagers eat a lot, and let me tell you the students at Maple Valley are no exception, they did. I wish I had some idea how many sandwiches and cookies we went through that day. But when it comes right down to it, it really doesn’t matter. They are good kids and they are very much appreciated.

It is legal for adults and it’s an ac­ cepted part of our collective sociality. Be that as it may, there are occasionally unplea­ sant ramifications for even the most mature adult in the use of alcohol. Encouraging its use by those who haven’t yet the maturity and experience to understand and control its ef­ fect amounts to antisocial behavior — and it’s a crime. Please work with us, not against us, during the holiday season and encourage your friends to do likewise. If we act responsibly, there will be plenty of time for our citizens to determine on their own to what extent they wish to drink as they reach adulthood. If we act irresponsibly, for some of our youths, there will be no time at all. We wish you a safe and happy holiday season and To the editor: I am a volunteer who helps out at the American Red Cross blood drives. Last Thursday I was at the Maple Valley High School in Nashville.

Patrons at Nashville's Cappon Quick Mart can help fill area Christmas food baskets by donating money through the store's "star” program. "Every year, the company has a decorating contest," said manager Denise Welch. "We have to have a theme and this year wanted it to be something with community involvement." After seeing the "Wish Upon A Star" tree at the Hastings City Bank in Nashville, she decided that they wanted something that would help that program collect money for Christmas food baskets and toys for area needy children. The store is decorated with colored stars hanging from the ceiling. Each colored star represents a donation of $1 and the white ones are for $5 donations. When customers give money for the program, their names are placed on the appropriate colored stars. "We've collected about $70 so far," said Welch. "We are going to present it to the village by the Dec. 13 deadline for the 'Wish Upon A Star1 program."

City Management Corp., owner of Hastings Sanitary Service, has offered the amendment to the Barry County Solid Waste Management plan that would allow waste from other counties in the state, except the Detroit area, to be brought to the Hastings Sanitary Service landfill north of Hastings. The plan met with stiff resistance at public meetings this summer. In the months since the initial proposal was made, the City of Hastings, the Village of Woodland, Orangeville Township, the Algonquin Lake Association and the Barry County Sportswomen's Club have passed resolutions objecting to it. To consider the amendment, a 13-member group called the Barry County Solid Waste Planning Committee has been formed to consider the idea. When the committee reaches its conclusion, which is expected to take between eight and 12 iI \Ne have good people on the board; I think it’s pretty representative of the community. They all seem to be open minded. But, this is going to take longer than most people j think... — Richard Thomas months, it will present a recommendation to the Barry County Board of Commissioners. If the commissioners approve of the amendment, it goes to each of the 21 governmental units in the county for a vote. A two-thirds majority of the units is needed to have the change become effective. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources will have the final say on the proposal efore implementation. Hastings Charter Township Supervisor Richard Thomas, is a member of the Barry County Solid Waste Planning Committee. He reports there is not much reaction in his township right now to the proposed regional landfill. The meetings of the committee are running smoothly, questions are being asked and issues discussed, he said. ■ "I think in the next couple RECONDITIONED Washers and Dryers Refrigerators and Ranges, Microwave Ovens and Color TV — IN STOCK — LAKE ODESSA T.V. and APPLIANCE 1039 4th Ave. • 616*374-8866 of meetings, people will loosen up even more," he observed. His largest concern with bringing in outside waste is the environmental impact the expansion will have on the community, he said. The amount of waste to be accepted, the fear of running out of space and the size of the area that might be allowed to bring trash into the county also concern Thomas. He said that to a lesser degree, traffic might be a problem, though Hastings Township has Class A roads leading to the landfill. Thomas says he has watched solid waste disposal change over the years as the rest of the townships have closed their dumps one by one and brought the county's waste to the only licensed landfill in the county, Hastings Sanitary Service. "My concern is that the community is protected environmentally for its health and safety over the long haul." Another goal is to make sure the least amount of area needed is used, he said. "We have good people on the board; I think it's pretty representative of the community," Thomas said. "They all seem to be open minded. But, this is going to take longer than most people think." Thornapple Township Supervisor Donald Boysen and the Township Board have heard a presentation about the possibility of a regional landfill from representatives of Hastings Sanitary Service and City Management.

Several students dressed as their favorite character after reading their autobiographies and biographies. The students then gave oral reports about what they had learned and acted out stories about their character. Pictured in the two photos are Chris Allwardt as Squanto, Earl Simmons as Abraham Lincoln, Kristi Kangas as Queen Victoria and Jacinda Elliston as Helen Keller. "Based on information I have at this point, I would support it," Boysen said. "Certainly, a lot of things are to be looked at by the committee. Apparently, we don't generate enough trash to be profitable in order to make it, so they are proposing the expansion." Middleville Village President Lon Myers said he was not at the meeting when the proposal was discussed, but after talking to the council members who were, said he would need more information before forming an opinion. He would also like to be able to ask questions of the group. Mayor Mary Lou Gray said she had not been to any of the meetings of the special committee, nor had she seen any updates, so is not in a position to comment for or against. "I would like to know more," she said, "I would hope the committee would hold meetings in the evening so that the public not only can attend, but also participate." Harry Adrounie, chairman of the special committee, said the panel holds both day and evening meetings, with the last one held in the evening. The meetings are held in the commissioner's chambers in the Courthouse. People attending the meetings must enter through the courthouse basement, which will be the only door open to provide security. The chamber is in the mezzanine.

The committee now has a secretary on loan from the county coordinator's office who handles minutes, records and correspondence. Steve Essling, environmental coordinator for Hastings Sanitary Service, said in 1983 Ken Neil, who then owned HSS, and the Barry County Solid Waste Committee were charged with developing a plan ensuring room for waste from Barry County residents for a period of 20 yea/s, using 30 acres. Halfway through that 20 years, the facility still has more than one-half of the space left, he said. They are now working on the next 20-year plan. "You look at your needs before there is a crisis," he said. The sale of the local landfill by Neil to a larger firm followed the trend of waste management companies throughout the state, Essling said. With the cost of running a landfill soaring because of new state regulations, many townships in Barry County decided they could not afford to run landfills and closed 17 landfills during the middle 1970s, Essling said. Neil accommodated the waste from the landfills, until he was the only licensed landfill in the county, Essling continued. Even then, Neil ran one of the smallest privately held landfills in the state, he said.

As an example, Essling said there are 56,340 feet in one acre; and the cost of a liner is 56 cents a square foot. The cost for one liner is between $20,000 and $25,000, but because of the ability to buy in large lots by being with City Management, the cost is now about one-half of that, he said. To those who worry about Detroit trash going into the landfill, Essling said it isn't going to happen. CMI has enough capacity in the east side of the state to take care of waste in the Detroit area, and "they aren't going to pass five or six landfills to dump here because it is not cost efficient," he said. Essling, who is the chairman of the Michigan Waste Industry Association, said two-thirds of all of the companies in the state are involved with the association. EWING WELL DRILLING, INC.

VERMONTVILLE �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, December 14, 1993 — Page 11 College-bound center does in Maple Valley in hoops opener Back-to-back games deal Lions early blows A loss Friday to a strong Dansville team, 69-51 and another to Potterville, 50-42, Saturday night left the Maple Valley varsity basketball team with an 0-2 start. The Lions had the lead go­ ing into the halftime beak against Potterville, but coach Jerry Reese said the game the night before against Dansville took a lot of energy out of the kids and they couldn't hold the lead. "Potterville had the advan­ tage of not having to play the night before," Reese said. "Our kids were just extremely tired." The Lions led at the break 24-22, but fell behind when Potterville scored 18 in the third to the Lions' nine. "Our shooting lacks a little confidence as well," the coach said, "and there will be some problem solving as well in practice this week as we pre­ pare for Lansing Christian, Friday." He said he doesn't want the teams' two early losses to cause the team to fold early in the season. The Lions' leading scorer against Potterville was Gabe Priddy with 11 points, includ- seemed to re-dedicate itself to ing a three-pointer. Jon Mitchell added seven. In the game Friday night, the team faced a 6-foot 6-inch college-bound senior and had a problem of finding the basket in the first half as it lost its season opener at Dansville. The opening night jitters had the Lions making only six of 38 tries on the hoop in the first half while having to defend against Adam Jones. Jones, according to a Dansville school photographer, has averaged better than 27 points per game and has been scouted by two Division I colleges. Maple Valley fell behind midway through the first quarter and the Aggies built up a 10-point lead before the start of the second period. Dansville continued to pound p the boards and turn defensive rebounds into scores through­ out the first half and at the break had opened up a 39-20 lead. Rather than allow the Aggies to continue the whitewashing, Reese's team half as if it was a game in it­ self. In the third quarter, the Lions were able to outscore the Aggies 19-18 with a buzzer beating three-quarter court shot by Brent Stine that hit nothing but net. The "low percentage basket" lifted the Lions to within 18 points, 5739. In the fourth, both teams garnered 12 points with the up-and-down-the-floor pace of the game showing on the brow of both teams. Leading scorer in the game was the Aggies' Jones with 14 points — the lowest total he's had since early last season. Maple Valley's leading scorer was Gabe Priddy with 12. He also had three assists. Justin Lake, Aaron Tobias and Brent an ren Stine ne had a nine nne points each. Lake was the leading rebounder for the Lions with seven. Maple Valley is now 0-1 in the league and 0-2 overall.

In the Dansville game 11 out of 13 players scored points for the junior Lions and four of those were in double figures. Jay Hokanson led the team with 23 points and Wayne Moore had 18. Other players in double figures were Damon Patrick, 11, and Adam Driksna, 10. Driksna had a game-high 15 rebounds. Pete Kellepourey added five points and six assists to the Maple Valley offensive attack. The Potterville game was more of a defensive battle with both teams struggling to put points on the board in the first half. The jayvee Lions turned the heat up in the third quarter and ended the quarter with a 50-33 lead. Balanced scoring was still a key to the Lion victory. Moore, Driksna, and Hokanson had 14, 13 and 12 points respectively. Brian Hopkins added nine points and was also the top re­ bounder with seven boards. The three-guard front of Patrick, Kellepourey and Adam Thayer applied great defensive pressure in the se­ cond half. That pressure kept Potterville out of their offense and insured the Maple Valley victory. The Lions will play Lansing Christian Friday, Dec. 17 for their home opener.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 122 - No. 22 — Tuesday, December 21, 1993 Maple Valley updates this year’s school budget by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Maple Valley school offi­ cials last week Monday looked at an updated budget that included $135,000 in cuts put in place because of the failure of the Headlee override revote last month. The board-approved cuts include $87,550 for new buses; $3,000 for field trips; $1,000 for Project Close-up; $20,000 in reductions in oper­ ations and maintenance capi- tal outlay; $16,000 in reduc­ tions in building capital out­ lay; $2,000 for gifted and tal­ ented programs; $2,000 in publications fees and the loss of $3,000 in conferences as­ signed by the administration. The updated budget shows expenditures of $7,134,678 and revenues of $6,817992 leaving a deficit of $316,686. If the deficit were taken from the school equity fund it would take it down from the $398,822 expected to be on hand in June to $82,136. Revenues included $2,284,528 from local sources, $211,927 from in­ termediate sources, $4,088,601 from the state, $225,836 from federal sources and $7,100 in transfer funds. A new increase included $15,171 for health services, while most other categories remained similar to the budget approved in June. The updated lunch fund showed a balanced budget of $264,280 in both revenues and expenditures. It is ex­ pected to have a fund equity of $25,029 at the end of the school year. In other business last week, Maple Valley Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks updated the board on the school finance reform issue, a technology grant, a possible hub trans­ portation arrangement, the Michigan School Report and home schooling in the area. Superintendent’s contract not to be renewed by Teresa Frith Staff Writer The Maple Valley School Board voted last week Mon­ day not to extend Superinten­ dent Dr. Ozzie Parks’ con­ tract beyond the end of this school year. The board’s decision to ter­ minate Parks’ contract by June 30 was made after a quarterly review requested by Parks was conducted in closed session. The vote was 4-3, with President Ronald Tobias, Ted Spoelstra, Duane Schantz and Joe Briggs casting affir­ mative votes, while Dave Tuckey, Bonnie Leep and John Krolik said “no.” Krolik asked the board before the vote if members wanted to go on record with a Dr. Ozzie Parks statement as to how, they reached their decision. Only Tobias made such a statement. “I didn’t vote for him (Parks) when he first came here,” Tobias said. “He wants to be a one-person board and hasn’t handled the budget very well. That’s what I heard three years ago from his previous employers.” Parks said that he has con­ cerns about the direction the board apparently is heading. “There is a fundamental difference between the impor­ tance of quality education and the respect for educators bet­ ween myself and the present leadership of the board,” the outgoing superintendent said. Parks added that he has not yet decided where he will go from here, but is considering serveral options open to him, including retirement. He is entering his 36th year in the education field. Besides his 20 years of experience as a superintendent, he has been a teacher, counselor and principal. Some members of the au­ dience at Monday night’s meeting had questions as to whether the subject of Dr. Park’s contract should have been placed on the agenda. An objection was raised because the issue was placed on the agenda at the beginning of the meeting and had not appeared on the printed agenda. According to board policy, the agenda is compiled by the Christmas Glow May the peace and good will ofthe season warm your heart throughout the entire year. Our entire staff wishes you and your loved ones a Christmas to cherish. >LE V ■ ew Jncolpaper ofiodoy* See Contract, Page 3 The school reform package recently passed in the House includes a foundation grant of $5,000 per student, a state in­ come tax increase from 4.6 to 6 percent and a possible sales tax increase of 2 percent. The sales tax increase would have to go before the voters in February. If it doesn't pass, then a 16-mill state-wide property tax is be­ ing considered. Other issues include requir­ ing sixth-graders to pass a reading proficiency test before being passed on to the seventh grade, a warranty on a graduate's education which require the school to pay to re-train the student if a future employee found him or her to lack essential skills, and char­ ter schools. The Senate is ex­ pected to vote on a similar package by the end of the year. The superintendent also re­ ported on: • A county-wide technology grant is expected to give $4,000 to Maple Valley . The money would be used to meet with consultants to see what the district has now and what direction it might go. • A possible hub transporta­ tion arrangement that would make the high school a central location for buses to pick up or drop off students. The ad­ vantages of having students taken to the high school first would include more balancing of classes, better use of pro­ grams and facilities, elimina­ tion of special bus runs to special programs and making it possible to move a given grade level to the same build­ ing if desired. Disadvantages of the ar- See School Board, Page 3 Area school districts receive ‘report card’ by Jean Gallup Staff Writer The Michigan Department of Education has issued a "report card" for each school system in the state, using facts and figures supplied by local districts. The move is an effort to provide information to parents about the district in which they live. The report card comes at a time when different proposals on how to fund education in Michigan, indeed on how to educate in the state, seem to come out of Lansing every week. State legislators are trying to put together a package to provide funding and basic reform for schools at the same time. The legislature last summer removed local homestead property taxes as a means to fund schools and now must find other ways to provide the money. But other words coming out of Lansing include reform, schools of choice and charter schools. Gov. John Engler, in a letter in the Michigan School Report, said Michigan parents must be aware and involved in their schools and educational choices for their children. "This requires that information about our schools and their performance be easily available and understandable," Engler said. "Parents must be empowered with knowledge so they can make the best educational choices or their kids. "The Michigan School Report allows you to better understand your school's resources and the performance of its students... it stands to reason that the more parents know about their schools, the better equipped they will be to assume a partnership role in their child's education," he said. Shown here is a chart or "report card" of all of the schools in the Barry County area.

The dropout rate is the percentage of students who left high school and did not return during 1991-92. The completion/graduate is the percentage of ninth-grade students who will complete their schooling and graduate, and is a four-year rate. Student achievement is measured by the Michigan Education Assessment Program (MEAP) tests, which are given in math and reading each year in the fourth-, seventh- and 10th grades. Science tests are given to fifth, eighth and 1 Ith-grade students. To understand MEAP scores, the number under the subject being tested indicates the percentage of students in that grade level who took the test and performed satisfactorily. For example, i^SmP if an elementary school has a number of 51.2 under the math fourth-grade column, it means that 51.2 percent of the fourth-graders who took the test performed satisfactorily. Accreditation status of each school is the last item on the chart. All figures for school districts are from the 1991-92 school year, the figures for individual buildings are from the 1992-93 school year. Tom Mohler, Superintendent of the Barry Intermediate School District, which includes Hastings and Delton, called the booklet "a snapshot in time." Information was collected, verified and sent to the Michigan Department of Education, Mohler said. The information in the report is the result of three revisions by school officials here, he said. There are still some small mistakes in the figures, he said, but it is more accurate than for some of the larger school districts. Mohler noted that next year, the "Michigan School isSff aitaii1 uftaw tainiao rfs Jtt I'tsatn Profile" will provide 50-75 more elements of information about each school in its report. Also in 1994, more than 200 reports submitted by local schools and intermediate schools district will be available from an on-line Education Data Network. Piloted with six to eight ISDs in 1993-94, the "Education Data Network" will expand to 35-40 regional sites across the state and is expected to be completed in July 1995. itarts unJes® lit resta Franklin’s professional managers emphasize growth of income and capital as their primary objectives for this fund.

Otherr board members, as well as the public, may request that an item be included. A request from the public must be made at least seven days before the meeting. The superintendent and the board then will decide if the issue should be placed on the meeting agenda. But board members are ex­ empt from this time constraint and may request items be add­ ed to the agenda with fewer than seven days’ notice, Parks said. Items not placed on the agenda by request of a board member or by the public may be added by a unanimous vote of the board. In the case of the superintendent's contract be­ ing placed on the agenda Monday night, the issue was requested to be added about a day prior to the meeting. Parks said it was a last-minute request and he didn’t believe it was appropriate to place it on the agenda two months in a row because no action had been taken on the issue at last month’s meeting. Tobias said the issue was requested Dec. 9.

The board earlier this fall had agreed to extend Parks’ contract, which was expiring at the end of December, only until the end of June. Parks signed a three-year contract with the Maple Valley School District on Jan. 1, 1991. He was scheduled to make an annual salary of $60,000 in the first year, $63,300 in the second and then receive the same increase as local teachers in the third year. He replaced Carroll Wolff, who resigned late in December 1990 after serving the district for 28 years. Wolff later served as school board president for one year. Parks began his education career as a junior high teacher in Battle Creek. He then serv­ ed as a social studies teacher and athletic director at Saugatuck and moved to Con­ stantine to become a guidance counselor. He was principal and athletic director at the junior-senior high school at Climax-Scotts and later mov­ ed to Shelby to be high school principal. Parks’ first superintendent’s job was from 1974 to 1982 at Mendon, where three of his four grown children live. He took the superintendent’s post at Deckerville in 1982 and served there until accepting the post at Maple Valley in 1991. ;! He earned his bachelor’s, master’s, specialist’s and doc­ torate degrees at Western Michigan University. When he leaves officially on June 30, he will have served for 316 years. Valley school. This is an in­ crease from last year's figures of five families and 13 chil­ dren. In other business last week the board: • Heard a report from Fuller Street Elementary School on the recent tragedy that took the life of second-grader Treah Spencer Dec. 10, when she was killed in an auto­ pedestrian accident. The school's crisis interven­ tion policy was put into place for the first time. The plan included ways to prepare the students after the accident and offered counseling from area pastors and counselors. According to Mary Hardy, the plan worked very well and made everything go as smoothly as possible under the circumstances. • Heard a report from Maple Valley High School Principal Larry Lentz that updated the state endorsed diploma issue. Previously the class of 1997 and above would not get diplomas if they didn't pass the required high school MEAP tests in reading, math and science. New rulings has changed this so that graduates can still receive a regular Maple Valley diploma if they meet the school's requirements. If they also pass the MEAP tests, they will get a seal on their diplomas that states which tests were passed. The state is also considering a proficiency test for juniors that would include sections on math, science, reading and writing. • Voted to end Superintendent Dr. Ozzie Parks' contract as of June 30. (See related story in this is­ sue.) • Approved senior and National Honor Society trips scheduled for later this year. • Appointed Belinda Elliston to drive a school bus for route 83B. • Recommended a 30-day review on the issue of paying Chapter One director Bernie Hynes for work done last summer. • Adopted an official school calendar for the rest of the school year, subject to changes for possible parent­ teacher conferences in March.

The 17-year-old girls are seniors at Maple Valley High School and are staying with sponsors in both Vermontville and Nashville. They will be in the area for the entire school year through various pro­ grams. Paula Halonen is from Finland. She told the students how there is always snow and ice at Christmas time in her country.

Foreign exchange students Paula Halonen (Finland), Bina Schwehr (Germany), Annett Brenner (Germany), and Niki Bazzi (Italy) came to Maplewood Elementary School last week to talk about how Christmas is celebrated in their countries. She said that in her family, the Christmas tree is deco­ rated with chocolate orna­ ments for the children to eat. All the girls send Christmas cards in their home countries. The visitors also answered other questions about their countries. Christmas customs differ ‘around the world by Teresa Frith Staff Writer "For today there was bom foryou in the city ofDavid, a Savior who is Christ the Lord. And this is a token for you: you will find the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manager." (RVS Luke 2:11-12) These words started Christmas in all parts of the world. Though traditions may change from place to place, the Christmas season is a time for all Christians to celebrate in their own special ways. The major holiday tradi­ tions revolve around church, gift-giving, festive foods, decorations and family gatherings. While some countries celebrate on different days and in different ways, the same festive theme is played everywhere. In Germany the season ... for your continued support and loyalty. Here’s wishing you a Happy Holiday Season and a Healthy New Year! Styles-R-Us 224 Main, Nashville Tuesday thru Friday WALK-INS WELCOME Ph. 852-1757 SYLVIA HOEVE starts with Dec. 6, which is Saint Nicholas Day. St. Nicholas was a Greek bishop of Myra who, in legend, gave money to three daughters of a poor nobleman. The money was dropped down the chim­ ney into the stockings hanging above the fire to dry. In time, this legend devel­ oped into the tradition of chil­ dren hanging stockings for Santa to fill with gifts on Christmas Eve. Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Italy and some parts of France also celebrate St. Nicholas Day. He is usu­ ally portrayed as a tall, vener­ able kind-faced man with the cape of a bishop, a tall pointed hat, white gloves and carrying a cane. He rides a white horse and is accompanied by a dark servant called Black Peter, who leaves coal for bad chil­ dren. It is widely accepted that the image of Santa Claus fig­ ures in all countries originated with the legend of St. Nicholas.

In Canada it is Kris Kringle who brings the presents and in Denmark and Great Britain, Father Christmas has this duty. Pere Noel comes to France and in Germany the children wait for either the Christkind (Christ child) or Weihnachtsman (Christmas man). Norway's gifts are delivered by Julenisse, the Three Kings bring Spanish children their presents and Portugal's young people wait for the Baby Jesus Himself. The Greeks believe that St. Vasilos comes to their homes, while Natale rewards the good children of Italy. Most of these countries cel­ ebrate on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, but some wait until Epiphany on Jan. 6. This is the day when the Three Kings were to have brought their gifts of Myrrh, Frankincense and gold to the Baby Jesus. Many types of food are served only during the Christmas season.

Each nation has its own creations to add to the list, from Lebkuchen Germany's (gingerbread) to fruitcake. Christmas time also brings with it a multitude of decorations and symbols. It is thought, for instance, that the practice of decorating the Christmas tree as we know it today, came from Germany. How the tree is decorated depends on what country you are in. While some places use only colored lights or candles, oth­ ers such as here in the United States, have elaborately deco- mistletoe, all of which originated in Greece. Candles and lights stand for the enlightenment Jesus brought to the Earth and are popular symbols. Church bells are rung in many places and stand for the pealing of glad tidings at Christ's birth. The Christmas cards that we send out originated in the United Kingdom and are popular all over the world. The holiday seals or stamps that we see originated in Denmark.

They may fear that memories of past holidays with the deceased will be painful. They may want to avoid the holidays altogether. However, at the same time, they may feel that if they don’t acknowledge the holidays or participate in holiday activities, they may feel even worse. Dr. Sandra Graves, director of the American Grief Academy, states that “The wish to avoid the season is a natural ‘fight or flight’ sur­ vival instinct. An individual must ask ‘What am I afraid of?’ The answer is most often that we are trying to avoid the intense emotions that are pre­ sent in our grief.” These emotions and sugges­ tions on how to cope with them were discussed in a seminar presented earlier dur­ ing this holiday season at the Pray Funeral Home, Charlotte. Dr. John D. Canine, a grief therapist and director of Maximum Living Consultants in Farmington Hills, was the presenter. Many of his suggestions for families who have experienc­ ed a loss were outlined. Dr. Canine stressed that family members have to let each other know what they feel they can comfortably han­ dle during the holiday season. Some may not feel comfor­ table repeating the same tradi­ tions that were followed before the death of a family member. Others may feel the need to hang on to these tradi­ tions more than ever. The important point is to communicate openly with family and friends. For those who may be listening to these people, it is important not to be judgmental of the suggestions. Remember,, many priorities are re-arranged following the death of an in­ dividual, not just holiday items. Activities such as holiday baking, decorating and family gatherings may need to be ad­ justed. Grieving individuals may want to explore if they would still enjoy these ac­ tivities. They may want to continue them, but shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help with these activities from other family or friends. We all need someone to lean on at dif­ ferent times. Another suggestion for the bereaved is to do something special to help others. Adop­ ting a needy family for the holidays, or taking an active part in community service ac- tivities such as Toys for Tots, Christmas Kiddies, relief shelters or community-church programs are some suggestions. Giving a gift or donation to local organizations or pro­ grams in memory of a loved one is another way to acknowledge the holidays and take part without overstress­ ing oneself. Three important points to remember are: 1) allow See Grief, Page 5 GOODTIME PIZZA 501 North Main, Nashville 852-1985 HOURS: Monday thru Thursday 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.; Sunday 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m, hometown I LUMBER YARD ^ ih h i?b^< Only one life — will soon be past jf I i For a Fair Deal on a New or Used Car or Truck' Proverbs 20:14 nly what's donefor Christ will last. ‘ TEAM DIXIE * 219 S.

Students acted out the play, which was adapted from E.T.A. Hoffman's original story. It features special music and dances by composer Peter chaikovsky and colorful costumes. The story is about a brother uper and sister who get a Nutcracker doll for a Christmas present. After the doll is broken, the little girl dreams that it is alive and has grown to human size. She and the Nutcracker visit a fantasy land where they fight the mouse soldiers and their king, see a beautiful ballerina and go through a series of other adventures. Students formed their own chorus to sing some of the songs from the original play. The children are given the Nutcracker doll that will inspire the little girl to dream of a fantasy land where the doll and other characters come to life.

The Pilgrims jumped on the scoreboard quick and often in the first quarter with 21 points and led the Lions by three. But their scoring began to slow down in the second pe- riod when the Lions outscored them 19-11 and Lansing Christian was able-to score only three points in the third. The Lions never let the Pilgrims back in the game af­ ter taking the lead in the sec­ ond period and outscored Lansing Christian 30-18 in the second half. Coach Jerry Reese said credit for win goes to the ef- fort put forth by the team and "the outstanding 17 rebounds by Aaron Tobias." Tobias also had 15 points in the matchup. Leading scorer for the Lions was Gabe Priddy with 17. He also had 11 rebounds and three assists. Jeff Pennington also hit in double figures with 12 points. The Lions are now 1-2 overall this season.

Could you image Christmas without carols and cantatas? Music affects our hearts and spirits in a unique and special way that cannot be accomplished by words and knowledge alone. Theologians and behavioral scientists tell us that the good or bad that we do is determined more by what is in our hearts than what is in our heads. They also tell us that it is our spirit which leads us to higher levels of life and achievement, not just our brains or knowledge. That makes music very important! Every comprehensive school includes music in its curriculum, starting with the youngest students. Talents are honed throughout the years until we reach the levels displayed by our high school bands and choirs and our community band. Anyone who has attended the recent concerts will attest to how uplifting they have been. Music continues to play a major role in our homes, churches and society throughout our lives. Our schools help us to learn and practice the basic and advanced skills. Our society benefits from the achievements and their effects. Maple Valley seventh grade boys basketball team dropped its home opener Dec. 6 against Leslie 37-25. Jerry Stutz led with five points, Chris Ewing, Troy Duff, Rob Clinkscales, and Judson Burpee all had four points. The Maple Valley team slipped by Dansville Dec. 13 33-30.

Maple Valley was again led by Ewing with seven points and six rebounds, Troy Duffey- and Jarad Carpenter had four points each. The seventh grade team’s next game will be Jan. 3, 1994 at Olivet at 4:30 p.m. Maplewood kids learn about holiday fire safety Third-graders at Maple­ wood Elementary School heard from area firemen about how to be safe at Christmas time. The children listened as Vermontville Township fire­ fighters Monte O'Dell and Tony Wawiemia talked about potential dangers during the holidays. These include improper use of extension cords, dry or dead Christmas greenery, kerosene heaters and Christmas ornaments that use candles or glass. The class also got to see how fast smoke fills up a room when the firemen used a special smoke making machine in the classroom. The special machine produces a smoke-like product that is safe to breathe, but it appears as regular smoke. It is used to help train firemen to work in smoke-filled areas. The children were reminded to have smoke detectors in the home and to know what to do when the alarm goes. off. They practiced crawling on the floor in order to be under the smoke and escape a fire safely. Besides fire safety, they also briefly discussed home and school safety measures. Vermontville Township fireman Monte O’Dell demonstrates how a smoke detector works by placing near smoke coming out of a special machine used in training firemen. manager^ Dolt propane torch 124900 Whik Hrrl» l»'t VERMONTVILLE HARDWARE 726-1121 131 S.

Vol. 122 Nashville Council discusses possible employee policies by Teresa Frith Staff Writer Nashville Village Council members Monday discussed possible employee policy additions that could take ef­ fect later next year. The village has been putting together the policies with the help of a special computer program and dis­ cussions with employees. No action was taken on the implementation of the possible policy additions. Some of the policy topics discussed were an employee handbook as well as em­ ployee rules, status and records, benefit programs, timekeeping and payroll, work conditions and hours, leaves of absence regula­ tions, conduct and disci­ plinary action and other miscellaneous categories. Council members also discussed the ballot lan­ guage needed to place the village management ordi­ nance on the March election ballot. Although the ordi­ nance was recently ap­ proved by the council, the issue will be before the vot­ ers due to a petition cam­ paign. Petition circulators needed to collect the names of at least 10 percent of lo­ cal registered voters in order for the measure to be placed on the ballot. More than 100 people signed the petition, which was over the required 93 names. The ballot will read that voters should vote "yes” or "no* for putting in place the village management ordi­ 49051 Fere* Na. 7 nance. The ordinance pro­ vides for the hiring of a vil­ lage manager and explains the duties, terms of office and functions. In other business, the council: • Voted to temporarily loan the water Department $4,000 to cover the annual FHA loan payment. The loan must be paid back by Jan. 15 without interest. • Approved sending CTec Cable Company a letter expressing their concern over the new senior citizen apartment complex not be­ ing wired for cable recep­ tion. Although the council itself has no authority over C-Tec, they have received letters and telephone calls See New policies.

Stcnzclbarton Staff Writers A tragedy in the making was averted Wednesday, December 22, when a threeyear-old Lake Odessa boy who wandered away from his grandparents' Castleton Township home, was found safe after a three-hour search. Daniel Kesler, of 1033 TeAnn Court, was discovered at 5:36 p.m. about a mile east of his grandparents' home on North Clark Road (M-66). He was found by a helicopter from the Michigan State Police which had joined in the search. David's grandmother, Daisy Kesler, had been watching the boy while his mother, Cindy Kesler, went grocery shopping. Daisy reported David missing to Central Dispatch at 3:11 p.m. She told dispatchers she had last seen Daniel playing in the backyard at 2 p.m. After noticing Daniel missing, Daisy reportedly searched the house and surrounding buildings but could not find the boy. Daisy said later that she thinks Daniel followed a set of tractor tracks out into the woods. After an initial search by Barry County Sheriffs deputies, tracking dogs were brought in from the Prairieville Township Police Department and the Michigan State Police posts in Ionia and Wayland. Officers from the Sheriffs Department, the Sheriffs Posse, Barry Township and the Michigan State Police posts in Hastings and Wayland were also brought in. "They got here quick," Daisy said. "I thank God for 911." The dogs, police and Cindy Kesler tearfully takes Daniel from pilot Sgt. Louis G. Vassilakos. Vassilakos picked Daniel up out of the field in which he was spotted by the other pilot Ross Ream. Police and sheriffs officers discuss the search patterns to be used by the ground forces while awaiting the arrival of the State Police helicopter. neighbors from miles around combed the area along M-66 north and south of the home looking for the boy. Searchers also criss-crossed the fields around the home and checked creeks which flow by the house. Daniel's mother returned to the home at 4 p.m. and the family waited for the search to turn something up. "It was hell because you couldn't do anything," Daisy said. No good leads on Daniel's whereabouts developed during the search, however. With snowy weather and darkness descending on the landscape, the state police helicopter was flown in at 5 p.m. from Lansing's Capitol City Airport to aid in the search. The searchers' spirits rose with the chopper's arrival. The helicopter could cover ground quickly and it had a forward-looking infrared camera (FLIR) system which would not be affected by the impending darkness that could hamper a ground See Missing child, Page 2 In This Issue... • It’s Christmas time in the valley • Vermontville man receives ‘Goodyear Spirit’ award • Celebrations of New year vary around the world • Maplewood students decorate Opera House tree �The Maple Valley News.

Vassilakos picked the shivering boy out of the back seat and carried him to his mother. "Look mom," the boy said, "helicopter." The ambulance crew raced up to cover the child with blankets and take him and his mother to Pennock Hospital. Cheers and back-slapping, hand shakes and tears replaced the grim faces of the searchers, family and friends. Daisy said the family was "very relieved" when they found out Daniel was safe. Vassilakos said later the boy was not found by the helicopter's sophisticated in­ frared equipment, but by the sharp eyes of the pilot, Sgt. Ross Ream. "Ross saw him out of the comer of his eye as he (Daniel) stumbled and fell in a furrowed field," Vassilakos said. "It was right on the verge of being too dark to see, but Ross saw his dark clothes against the white snow. "Then we put the FLIR on him and made sure it was him.” Vassilakos said he landed the chopper 25 feet away from the boy, ran out and brought him back to the chopper. Daniel had lost his boots during his ordeal and was suffering from minor frostbite on his fingers and toes according to a hospital spokesperson. He was treated at Pennock and released. Daisy said Wednesday that Daniel has "fully recovered" from his ordeal. Deferred Annuities: The Safe And Systematic Way To Save.

He may have been think­ ing of New Year's Eve cele­ brations when he wrote those words, as noise is a major way that the new year is ushered in all over the world. The custom of celebrating the start of the new year on January 1 started when Julius Caesar changed it from March 25 to honor Janus Befors. Before was a Roman god with two faces. One looked back at the old year and the other looked forward to the new year. New Year's Eve has tradi­ tionally provided a time for closing rifts and healing disputes. The spirit of New Year's Day everywhere is to make the coming year better than the old. Many customs abound during the time that spans from Christmas to Epiphany on Jan. 6. This time frame is sometimes known as the 12 Days of Christmas. Customs revolve mainly around noise making, family gatherings, special foods, church services and gift giv­ ing. , While each country's methods of ringing in the new year may differ, the tone of each celebration is uhiyereal. .Here in the United States, many celebrate the new ytw by staying up all night, mak­ ing noise at midnight and drinking a toast. Some of eat special foods such as black-eyed peas, which are supposed to bring good luck in the coming year. In Belgium and Denmark fireworks announce the be­ ginning of the new year. Nearby in Kalamazoo, fire­ works also signal the change. Young people ih Denmark also "smash in the new year" by banging on doors or throwing bits of pottery against their friends houses. In Canada and Belgium there are also special family parties. New Year's Day brings gifts in some countries such as France, where the chil­ dren receive money. Greek children receive their holiday presents at this time of year. They also eat a special cake called, "Vasilopitta," or St. Basil's cake. It is round with a small coin hidden inside. It must be cut counter-clock­ wise, with a slice dedicated to family, friends, saints and the poor. Whoever finds the hidden coin is considered lucky for the rest of the year. In some parts of Germany a "star singer" carries a large illuminated star on a long pole and leads the vil­ lagers in a procession. He is accompanied by a band. His song reviews the past year's events and extends good Our thanks to you for trusting our products in the past years and placing your confidence in us. Looking forward to serving you in 1994. Feed store & More 301 S. Main, Nashville 517*852"1811 wishes for the coming year. In the Netherlands there is noise making, parties and "oliebol," a sort of oil dumpling. The Norwegians attend a midnight church service, while in Spain they also stay up past midnight. Some unusual customs include those in Portugal, where 12 raisins are eaten at - midhiglit,- -one Tor each month of the coming year. In the United Kingdom some places still honor the tradition of "first footing." The luck of the household is determined by the first per­ son to cross the threshold af­ ter midnight. Sex, stature, appearance, complexion and occupation of the person de­ cides whether or not the home will have good or bad luck. Especially lucky is anyone bom feet first, a man on horseback or a child. Back luck is thought to come if the threshold is first crossed by a criminal, red­ head or a woman. The United Kingdom and the United States share the tradition of making New Year's resolutions. Greece has a custom that is very different. A cere­ mony is held to bless the water in all ports, rivers and lakes. A priest throws a cross into the waters and someone must dive in to get it. Whoever gets it will be blessed for the rest of the year. It is also believed that during the 12 days between Christmas and Epiphany that "Kalikantzari," a sort of gremlin, is set loose to wreak havoc. After the wa­ ters are blessed, he is ban­ ished until the next year. The New Year’s Baby is a popular figure in most places that celebrate New Year's holidays. The modem figure as we know it may have originated in Germany during the 14th century. However, in ancient Greece a baby was paraded around the town in a basket to symbolize the annual birth of Dionysus, the god of fertility. Epiphany arrives on Jan. 6.

Caspar was Greek and brought Frankincense to symbolize the divinity of Christ, Melchior was Hindu and brought gold to testify Christ's royalty and —Balthasar was from Ethiopia and brought Myrrh which predicted Christ's death.- - Epiphany is celebrated mostly as a religious holi­ day, but in some countries children also receive gifts or eat special foods. In Belgium a white bean is hidden inside a cake. The one who finds the bean gets a special reward. French children also have a special cake called the cake of the kings. Hidden inside is "la feve" and the finder is king or queen for a day. In Germany, Epiphany is also known as Marzipan Day. A confection of al­ monds, sugar and rose water is eaten. The letters "C", "M" and "B" are sometimes written over doors to stand for the names of the three kings. This is also the day when custom says one Business Services BANKRUPTCY LEGAL Services.

Italian children receive gifts from La Belfana, an old woman whose name may be derived from Epifaniaor gift bearer. According to legend, she was sweeping her home when the Three Kings passed by and didn't go with them when they asked her. Later she changed her mind, but couldn't find the Christ Child. Therefore, she must forever wander from house to house each year looking for him and leaving gifts. In the Netherlands the children dress up like the Three Kings and go door-todoor singing carols. For this they get candy and money. Spanish children celebrate Epiphany as Children's Day and await the Three Kings, who bring them their gifts. Superintendent’s Corner Our graduates can read! BY Dr. Ozzie D. Parks Just before the Christmas break we received the results of our fall MEAP testing. One of the major points of information was the number of students in the senior class who have qualified for an endorsed diploma in reading, mathematics and science. Of 110 seniors, only one regular education student and four special education students have not yet passed the reading test. The same numbers were found in science. Mathematics results indicate that 10 regular education and four special education students have not yet passed the test. As noted earlier, the new mathematics test goes well beyond the basics and is considered to be difficult, so the results are not surprising. These test scores confirm what most of us have known for some time, that most of our graduates can read at a reasonable or better proficiency. Those who cannot achieve these levels at this time often have a physical or mental limitation. Although the MEAP tests are not perfect indicators of student achieve­ ment, they do help us to keep in perspective the achievements of our school and students. In the past, anyone could become aware of one student with a reading problem and declare, “Your graduates can’t even read.” News headlines could reinforce the belief on the basis of a test which most of us had never seen. Now, however, an accepted test developed by our state department of education tells us that our graduates can read, solve mathematics pro­ blems and know their science, with very few exceptions. You might wonder why the state and the school will continue to give out a basic diploma to those who don’t pass all the state tests. The answer is that although a student may be handicap­ ped in one or two areas, they are often very capable or even gifted in other areas. For example, a former student who had physical problems which prevented him from reading well is today a very successful mechanic and a good citizen. Withholding a diploma from him could have limited his success. Our schools deserve credit for the vast majority of students who have successfully earned endorsed diplomas by passing state tests before graduation. Our handicapped students deserve credit for their perseverance and achievements despite their limitations. Good policies and programs have helped us to achieve high standards with those capable of reaching them and allowed exceptions for those who, through no fault of their own, cannot. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday.

One of her ad­ mirers was watching her and took a glass of water from the bath and drank to her health. Another man offered to jump in the bath with her and explained that although he didn't like liquor, he would love to have the "toast." Although we no longer put pieces of toast in our drinks, it has evolved into a way to drink to someone's health. This custom is said to have come from an act of courtesy. A host would sip an offered drink first to show everyone that it wasn't poisoned. This was a literal way to drink to someone's health and life. Clinking glasses during the toast is nowadays con­ sidered a sign of friendship. In ages past it was done to scare away the Devil or other evil spirits before tak­ ing a drink. It was believed that demons could enter the body with the drink if this wasn't done. Our Hopes For NewThe Th Yee ar^av® Are Soaring! Wishing you peace, prosperity and joy in the approaching year!

The purpose of the show is to allow students to raise livestock for market and show in the fall and winter, much like that of local fairs that focus on spring and summer-. “The difference is that this show highlights market animals only and doesn't deal with breeding stock,” says Ron Worth, Maple Valley FFA advisor and secretary of W.M.L.S. “The students can show market hogs or lambs, market or prospect steers or a new class, market dairy steers. The owner of L.O.L.A. showed particular interest in the new class, due Another successful elk hunting season Michigan hunters com­ pleted another safe and suc­ cessful elk hunting season. This was the tenth consecutive year of elk hunts, in addition to those held in 1964 and 1965. A total of 306 elk were harvested during 1993. More elk were taken during 1993 hunting seasons than in any other year. A total of 360 hunters were chosen by computer drawing from a pool of 41,615 ap­ plicants. There were four hun­ ting periods this year; three of which were in September, and one in December. Elk hunts have been held in Michigan to provide recrea­ tional opportunities, as well as to control the size of the elk herd. The goal of the elk management program is to maintain a viable population in harmony with the environ­ ment, affording optimal recreational opportunity. Six of the 93 bulls taken by hunters this year had dressed weights of more than 700 pounds. Anterless elk were harvested as a primary method to control the size of the elk herd. A winter census of elk is be­ ing planned to evaluate the impacts of the 1993 hunts and to design recommendations for the 1994 season. 9 to the amount of dairy steers we raise in this part of Michigan,” said Worth. This year, there were several Maple Valley students involved in the show and judging contest. They include John Bowerman, Jason Shook, Marty French, Aaron Branderburg, Darren Cobb, Zack Histed, Rich Krebs, Matt Pennington, Brian Ben­ nett, Dave Dunn, Rick Kruger, Greg Little, Mark Porritt, Jeff Powell, Hillary Stevens, Alicia Alieva, Brad Balko, Shane Gillean and Kel­ ly Gillean. There were several schools represented at the show, including, Maple Valley, OvidElsie, Laingsburg, Freemont, Cedar Springs, Cassopolis, and Lake wood. Maple Valley Students did well in the market hog classes. Grand champion individual went to Kelly Gillean, reserve champion individual went to Rich Krebs, grand champion pen went to Rich Krebs and champion showman went to Rich Krebs. Next year the show will be Dec. 2 and 3. If businesses are interested in getting involved, they should call Ron Worth at 852-9971 or 726-0609. Businesses can sponsor a trophy for $25 or purchase livestock at the sale just as at the county fair. Next year is likely to see well over 200 youths participating.

The new truck will allow the firemen to fight a fire easier in areas where no hydrants are available. Bauman is well known in the area for his Clifford painting on the school walls at Maplewood Elementary School. He and his wife, Sherry have two children, Christopher (a second-grader at Maplewood) and Nikki (a kindergartner at Maplewood.) The Maple Valley junior varsity basketball team squeaked past Lansing Christian in overtime 83-81, Dec. 17, before thumping Battle Creek Pennfield 73-60, Dec. 21. The Pilgrims have a 6 foot5 inch center who had 40 points on the night and was the reason for four Lions fouling out. On the shoulders of the center, Lansing Chris­ tian was able to stick close to Maple Valley and was down by one 59-58 at the half. The junior Lions stumbled in the fourth quarter and were down by five points with three minutes left on the clock. A quick regroup and the team ran off seven unan­ swered point to put the jayvee Lions up by two with seven seconds left in regula­ tion. The Pilgrims were able to recover a loose ball and swish a basket with zeros showing on the clock. In overtime the Lions al­ lowed no baskets and just three free throws while pumping in five points for the victory. ' Leading scorer was Adam Driksna with 23 points. He also had 11 rebounds. Also scoring in double fig­ ures were Adam Thayer with 21 and Jay Hokanson with 16. Damon Patrick led the team with five steals and seven assists to go with his eight points. Coach Mike Booher recog­ nized "Pistol Pete" Kellepourey for having an out­ standing overtime in not al­ lowing the Pilgrims to score a field goal. Against Pennfield, eight players put points on the board after a slow 13-12 start in the first quarter. Through the next two quarters the ju­ nior Lions ran off 45 points compared to 30 for the junior Panthers. Brian Hopkins had seven steals and three assists and Dricksna had 11 rebounds for Maple Valley. Sears takes 3rd in TK-tourney Lions wrestlers fall to season 1-3 Rebounding from a 78-0 loss to Lakewood, the Maple Valley High School varsity wrestling team was able to gamer four match victories from St. Johns in the 53-20 loss, Dec. 21, while earlier in the week Ashley Sears (160) took a third place finish at the Middleville Invitational. Wrestling a pin in his vic­ tory over St. John was Scott Herman (103). He pinned his opponent in 1:09. Chris Carpenter (135) won with a technical pin 21­ 4 and Brady Simpson (152) won an 11-9 decision. Also scoring for the Lions was Mike Morgan (130) who won by forfeit.

The Maple Valley grapplers are now 1-3 overall and will wrestle against Galesburg Jan. 6. In exhibition matches against St. Johns, James Egan (103) won two matches by pins. He won the first in 1:57 and the sec­ ond in :43. Maple Valley 8th-graders start basketball season 3-0 The Maple Valley eighth grade basketball team won its first three game of the season. The boys started the season at home against Leslie with a 53-41 victory. The first half, the team played pretty much the same with the Lions leading 22-16 at the half. But when they came out for the second half the Lions took control of the game. Leslie lost its composure and turned the ball over against the press, giving the Lions some quick baskets and a 20 point lead three minutes into the third quarter. Leslie never got any closer than eight points of the Lions after that. Cody Pagie led the way coming off the bench with 12 points and collecting six steals. Cris Gonzer had 11 points, four rebounds, and three steals. The second game was a 52-38 victory over Dansville. The Lions out-scored Dansville 16-4 in the first quarter and outscored them 18-8 in the fourth quarter. Cody Paige led the team with 17 points. Other scores were Gonzer with 10, Thompson, nine, Hartwell, three, Sulcer, Harvey, Philips, Rose, Kay and Quick each had two points and Shook with one point. The boys’ third game was at Bellevue. The Lions won 40-31 but had to struggle for three quarters before putting it away. “MY first group was flat, they just couldn’t get going on the defensive end of the game. The good thing about this group of kids is there’s a lot of depth on the team. Because it was the second and third group who turned it on to open up the lead at the end of the game for us,” said Coach Kevin Rost.

The best solution to driv­ ing under wintry conditions is to not go out at all. If there is no way to avoid driving, then there are sev­ eral steps that will ensure a safer trip. First of all check to see if you have a full tank of gas even for a short trip in case of an emergency. Check lights, heater, wiper blades, brakes and antifreeze. An emergency kit con­ taining an ice scraper or brush, sand or other traction aid, shovel, jumper cables, tow chains, road maps, flashlight, batteries, first-aid supplies, blankets or sleep­ ing bag, boots, hat, gloves. bottled water and non-per­ ishable high energy foods. These will give you a bet­ ter chance of survival if you are stranded out in the open during a winter storm. Other factors to consider are driving slower for slick roads and poor visibility. Stay home if conditions would make it necessary to drive less than 10 mile per hour if at all possible. If you are stranded be­ cause your vehicle breaks down or driving conditions make it unsafe to continue then consider the following tips. First, always stay with your vehicle so you won't become lost and have no shelter. Raise the hood and turn on the emergency flashers. Run the heater, but make sure that at least one window is open about an inch to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
