Monte Munjoy, Brian Oosterhouse and Bob Vandenberg gathered up 24 points to be the runner-up to the Class C winners, Detroit Lutheran West. Munjoy placed fourth in both the shot put and the discus; Ooster­ house was second in the low hurdles (setting a new school record of 38:5) and fourth in the high hurdles; Vandenberg took a fourth in the mile run. Considering there are over 160 Class C schools in the State and over 80 schools were represented in the meet, Middleville is indeed proud of these three “sons.” In the girls competition, Tammy Babcock placed fifth in the mile run at state as she carried TK’* coion. �Page 2 / June 4, 1981 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan Find Balloon Near Charlotte LETTERS Comment* from our reader* may be ex pressed in thi* column All lettet* must be signed, but name* will be withheld for good reason and at the discretion of the newspaper Views express­ ed in this column are not necessarily those of The Sun and News Middleville Brownies in Troops 206 and 15 will be interested in the following letter received as a result of their balloon ascension on May 5th: “Dear Joy “I am sorry I have taken so long in sending information to you about your balloon.

We had an overnight campout in our woods last weekend and then helped a Brownie troop “Fly-Up this past week. “Anyway, we found your balloon on our farm on May 8.

Well, I’m glad he did. and I bet you will be too. “We are full time farmers. We milk Holstein cows and raise Belgian draft horses. “I have nine Sth grade girls in my troop this year. They like outdoor things like camping, cooking outside and being around horses. I remain your friend in Girl Scouting Mrs. Jean Creyts Charlotte, Michigan ” Dear Editor: Monday, June 8, will be an important day for the TK School District. One board member will be elected and millage issues concerning the quality of education will be decided. Mr. Duane Thatcher stands head and shoulders above all the other candidates in intelligence and knowledge of the workings and problems of the schools. There has been some talk of a conflict of interest on the part of Duane. I can assure you that his intelligence and integrity would not allow him to do any­ thing but what is best for the TK School district and the students.

VOTE MONDAY, JUNE 8, 1981 USE YOUR PRIVILEGE - Paid for by Citizens for Schellinger LEGAL NOTICE VOTE ON MONDAY, JUNE 8 Certain amendments to the Zoning Or­ dinance for the Village of Middleville were adopted at a regular meeting of the Village Council for the Village of Middleville, held on May 12, 1981. These Zoning Ordinance Amendments have the following effect: 1. A new chapter has been added to the zoning Ordinance for the Village of Middleville, entitled Chapter XXI, entitled Flood Hazard Areas. These regulations are in effect in a flood hazard overlay zone, which is designated by the flood hazard boundary map of the Village of Middleville prepared by the Federal Insurance Admi­ nistration, No. H01, dated July 18, 1975. The regulations require that all develop­ ment within this flood hazard zone be done in compliance with minimum regula­ tions promulgated by the U.S. Depart­ ment of Housing and Urban Development, and require that standards be followed in construction to minimize or eliminate damage due to flooding. 2. The other amendments to the Ordi­ nance remove the duty to decide all re­ quests for special use permits from the Board of Appeals, and grants this authority to the Planning Commission. In addition, the maximum fine for a violation of this Zoning Ordinance has been increased from $100.00 to $500.00 The Ordinance is effective upon pub­ lication, and a copy of the Ordinance amendment may be purchased or inspect­ ed at the Village Hall for the Village of Middleville, during regular business hours.

COUNSELOR CORNER By Bernie Weller, Middle School Counselor “STRESS AND DISTRESS” As our society becomes more complex and the pressures of daily living increase, we bear more and more about stress and the effects that stress has on our health. It’s a real and serious threat to our self fulfillment and happiness. The following article comes from the National Insti­ tute of Mental Health Plain Talk Series Hilda Field, Editor. • A 19-year old girl learns her boy­ friend has been killed in an auto accident. • A businessman loses an important business deal to his competitor. • An athlete receives a first place award for his efforts in a track event. • A 15-year old boy approaches a girl to ask her out for the first time. What do all of these people and situa­ tions have in common? Stress’ This may surprise you because the last two situa­ tions both involve happy events. The fact is that it doesn’t matter whether the situa­ tion is pleasant or unpleasant, according to Hans Selye, M.D. What counts is the intensity of the demand it places on you to readjust. Dr. Selye, a Montreal, Canada, physician and author of several books on stress, calls these incidents “stressors.” He states that the physical reaction of the body to stress is basically the same, regardless of the stressor. Furthermore, he feels that the only complete freedom For long lasting,care-free beauty...Landscaping Timbers of ALL WEATHER WOOD Ideal for retaining walls, steps, raised beds, patios and all garden constructions, It’s the wood that fights rot • protected by the Osmose K-33 pressure treating system that locks preservatives In wood fibers • resistant to rot decay and termites • care free - does not need staining or painting • if fin­ ishing is desired, ALL WEATHER WOOD preservatives ad as an In-depth prime coat • non-toxic to plants • non-oily and odorless • dean and dry to the touch We maintain a broad inventory of ALL WEATHER WOOD lumber and timbers in sizes to fit all your exterior building needs Count on us tor lumber, hardware and helpful building tips 'WEATHER kWOODJ CALEDONIA LUMBER 115 Kinsey St CALEDONIA, MICH.

Humans thrive on stress because it makes life more interest­ ing. No matter what you are doing, you are under some amount of stress. Even while you sleep, your body must continue to function and react to the stress imposed by dreaming. Stress comes from two ba­ sic forces - the stress of physical activity and the stress of mental/emotional ac­ tivity. It is interesting to note that stress from emotional frustration is more likely to produce disease, such as ulcers, than stress from physical work or exercise. In fact, physical exercise can relax you and help you deal with mental stress. Stress or distress Then would it be true to assume there is no such thing as bad stress? Dr. Selye feels that there is a type of stress that can be harmful. He calls it distress. Distress is continual stress that causes you to constantly readjust or adapt. For example, having a job you do not like can be con­ stantly frustrating, and frustration is ‘bad’ stress. If this distress lasts long enough, it can result in fatigue, exhaustion, and even physical or mental breakdown. The best way to avoid it is to choose an environ­ ment that allows you to do the activities you enjoy, and are meaningful to you. Your friends, your work, and even your future mate can be sources of challenging good stress or harmful distress. Dr. Selye also believes that the absence of work is not necessarily a way to avoid stress. An example of this is the retired person who has nothing to do. Boredom then becomes an enemy capable of caus­ ing tremendous distress. Work is actually good for you as long as you can achieve something by doing it. It will only wear you out if it becomes frustrating because of failure or lack of purpose. To avoid distress, you should seek work or tasks that: a) you are capable of doing, b) you really enjoy c) other people appreciate. Body Reactions to Stress Regardless of the source of stress, states Dr Selye, your body has a threestage reaction to it: Stage I - Alarm; Stage 2 - Resistance and Stage 3 - Exhaus­ tion. In the alarm stage, your body recog­ nizes the stressor arid prepares for fight or flight. This is done by a release of hormones from the endocrine glands. These hormones will cause an increase in heartbeat and respiration, elevation in blood sugar level, increase in perspiration, dilated pupils, and slowed digestion. You will then choose whether to use this burst of energy to fight or flee. In the resistance stage, your body re­ pain any damage caused from the stress. If, however, the stressor does not go away, the body cannot repair the damage and must remain alert. This plunges you into the third stage exhaustion. If this state continues long enough, you may develop one of the “diseases of stress,” such as migraine headaches, heart irregularity, or even mental illness. Continued exposure to stress during the exhaustion stage causes the body to run out of energy, and may even stop bodily functions. Since you cannot build a life com­ pletely free from stress or even distress, it is important that you develop some ways of dealing with stress. Getting a Handle on Stress, Distress Recognizing that stress has a lifelong influence on you, what can you do about handling it? Doctors have come up with a few suggestions on how to live with stress. 1. Work off stress. If you are angry or upset, try to blow off steam physically by activities such as running, playing tennis or gardening. Even ta king a walk can help. Physical activity allows you a “fight’’ outlet for mental stress. 2. Talk out your worries, it helps to share worries with someone you trust and respect. This may be a friend, family member, clergyman, teacher or counselor. Sometimes another person can help you see a new side to your problem and thus, a new solution. If you find yourself be­ coming preoccupied with emotional problems, it might be wise to seek a pro­ fessional listener, like a guidance coun­ selor or psychologist . This is not admit­ ting defeat. It is admitting you are an in­ telligent human being who knows when to ask for assistance. 3. Learn to accept what you cannot change. If the problem is beyond your control at this time, try your best to accept it until you can change it. It beats spinning your wheels, and getting no­ where. 4. Avoid self-medication. Although there are many chemicals, including alcohol, that can mask stress symptoms, they do not help you adjust to the stress itself. Many are habit-forming, so the decision to use them should belong to your doctor. It is a form of flight reaction that can cause more stress than it solves. The ability to handle stress comes from within you, not from the outside. 5. Get enought sleep and rest. Lack of sleep can lessen your ability to deal with stress by maing you more irritable. Most people need at least seven to eight hours of sleep out of every 24. If stress repeated­ ly prevents you from sleeping, you should inform your doctor. 6. Balance work and recreation. “All work and no play can make Jack a ner­ vous wreck.” Schedule time for recreation to relax your mind. Although inactivity can cause boredom, a little loafing can ease stress. This should not be a constant escape, but occasionally, you deserve a break. 7. Do something for others. Some­ times when you are distressed, you con­ centrate too much on yourself and your situation. When this happens, it is often wise to do something for someone else, and get your mind off of yourself. There is an extra bonus in this technique • it helps make friends. 8. Take one thing at a time - it is de­ feating to tackle all your tasks at once. Instead, set some aside and work on the most urgent. 9. Give in once in a while. If you find the source rff your stress is other people, try giving in instead of fighting and insist­ ing you are always right. You may find that others will begin to give in, too. 10. Make yourself available. When you are bored and feel left out, go where the action is! Sitting alone will just make you more frustrated. Instead of withdraw­ ing and feeling sorry for yourself, get in­ volved. Is there a play or musicsl coming up? Chances are they will need help backstage. Get yourself back there and somebody will probably hand you a hammer or paint brush. � https://www.barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/25/691/SunandNews_1981-06-11.pdf 7c37813c11b8d7e9a401a2a6c6a41794 PDF Text Text Hastings Public Library 121 Church Hastings.

Bob was an acquaintance of Shirley. “I knew he loved old build­ ings,” says Shirley .“so one day I showed him our project. Later he came to help us. He has worked so much - even when we can’t be here - that we trust him with a key. He did so many of the things that we did not know how to do, like leveling and bracing the floors, replacing the plumbing, and the electrk wiring.

They also have their own private work area.

Now in its seventh year, the festival lineup has been expanded to inchide some country and folk music entertainers along with lots of songs that fall between the styles. Features on stage will be Home Grown Grass of Hubbardston, low Rose ’n riff raff from the Grand Rapids area, Carol Johnson also from Grand Rapids.

The Thomapple Music Festival takes place in Charfton Park, five miles east <^f Hastings off M-79. The stage is set in the natural amphitheater of the park’s re­ stored village of the late 1800 s. nestled on the banks of the Thomapple River. Folks in the audience generally bring a lawn chair or a blanket to spread on the village green, pack a picnic lunch and relax in the summer sunshine as they lis­ ten to the music. The park also features a beach and recreation area, which in­ cludes nature trails, a boat launch and picnic areas. Taking the stage at 11 a.m. on the last Sunday in June will be Home Grown Grass, a band that sings pure bluegrass and features the popular bluegrass instruments guitar, banjo, bass and fiddle. Iowa Rose ’n raff raff isup next with some untradi­ tional bluegrass and country music. Card Johnson provides a softer folk style to the show than the full bands on the bill. Well known in western Michigan, she has performed at dozens of events ranging from the Grand Ole Opry in Nash­ ville to the Don Ho Show in Honolulu. Midwest, the hometown band in the show, will give the crowd a taste of country and progressive country music. The all-female Bosom Buddies from the Lansing area give bluegrass music a new style with their sweet blend of high harmonies. Wrapping up the show will be Sweet Com String Band, a foursome that has performed at every festival Charlton Park has ever had. Their energetic picking always sets the audience to hand clappin’ and foot stompin’. The Thomapple Music Festival had a unique beginning. It was conceived as a fundraiser for furnishing Bristol Inn. a restored stagecoach inn located in the Historical Village and to create a new an­ nual event for the park. “The response has been tremendous,” remarks Frank Walsh, park director. “The quality, attendance and enthusiasm have surpassed all of our expectations.” Four years ago the festival was expanded to two shows each summer Tickets for the Thomapple Music Fes­ tival are $5.00 for adults, 5Orf for childret underlZ and free for preschoolers.

PRAIRIE SKETCHES Many of the Prairie neighbors went to Caledonia Sunday afternoon to wish Ed and Katie Wieringa well on their 40th anniversary. Alice Steiner, Tom and I. spent several hours Saturday evening at Festival 81. It was a new experience for me. and one that bears repeating. I think. We were quite surprised to meet Dave and Sue Enders there - if we had tried to meet, it would have been nearly impossible! Most all of the family were home some time over the week-end, visits we always enjoy. I went to dispose of a pair of badly bent tennis shoes the other day and found myself automatically taking the laces out - forgetting the fact that there are no longer lots of little hands wearing out endless miles of shoelaces that need con­ stant replacing! Sometimes we human computers need reprogramming, 1 guess! It took me years to quit saving bleach bottles. We used so many for scout pro­ jects there always seemed to be a demand, and saving them just became a habit. Norma Velderman and I used to joke that we could probably float away either one of our houses with the bottles we accumu­ lated. Some day (in the far future, I hope), if someone is foraging through my accumulations of the years, I hope they will be considerate in their judgements of “What kind of a nut would save these? and what for?” CLAY HILLS with WRETHA McNEE The Jackson family attended an open house at Woodland for a relative, then had a surprise birthday for Joan’s dad, Ken King.

After the initial em­ barrassment over their inability to recognize each other immediately, conversa­ tion flourished. It is disconcerting, and enlightening, not to be recognized by someone with whom one grew up, even though with some it had been forty years since they had seen each other. Sixteen of the 20 who took part in the graduation exercises at the Metho­ dist Church on June 4, 1931, survive, and 13 of those were present at the reunion. Present were: Edward Hunger­ ford from Vancouver, Wash.; Mr. and Mrs. Rco (Ruth Holes) Boley. Talent. Orc , Mr. and Mrs. Jack (Mary Boley) Rosenberg, Eloy, Ariz.; Retha Gackler Williams.

Mr. and Mrs. Meryl Boyer of Hastings were also present, as he had been a member of the class part of the way through school. Unable to attend were Russell Solo­ mon of Florida. Hugh Hall of Cedarville, Ohio and James Burns of Wyoming. Deceased members of the class are Florence Aubil Buchanan, Olive Carl Smith, Alice Standish McClurkin and Richard Palmer. After dinner the group went to the Apsey home for dessert and coffee, look­ ing at pictures and lots more reminiscing. A 1983 reunion was discussed and it was even suggested by some of the permanent residents of the western states that the west coast might become the most convenient place to hold it. The Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education, meet­ ing in special session on Monday night, outlined the program cuts that will be in effect with the opening of school next fall.

Official Minutes of the June 15 TK Board of Education Meeting Dorothy and Clair Brog To Marshal 4th Parade This year’s Fourth of July Parade in Middleville (one of the longest and best ever, according to Parade Chairman Rod Kenyon’) will feature a new approach as one of Middleville’s citizens will be honored. Mr. Clair Brog, a lifelong resident of the community, has been designated as the Grand Marshal of the parade. April 21, 1902. was a warm spring day, and in the rural farm community of Middleville, Michigan, Amanda Brog presented her husband. Henry, a strong, healthy baby boy, Chur. The young lad grew up qn a farm in the area and attended country school. In the spring of 1919 he graduated from Middle­ ville High School located near where the United Methodist Church presently stands. After graduating from high school, Clair continued to work on the family farm. Sometime later he began courting the pretty Dorothy Taber whom he had known throughout his childhood. On June 24. 1929, in Elkhart, Indiana, she became Mrs. Clair Brog. They had two children, a girl, Helen (now Helen Martiny) and a boy Kenneth. Clair and Dorothy are now proud to say they have six grandchildren. Clair worked at several jobs to support the family, first working on the farm, then working for Standard Oil Company in Grand Rapids. In 1939 he came back to Middleville to run the service station at the comer of M-37 and Main Street. For so many years, this is where mat Middleville area residents remember the Brogs. Cl?it and Dorothy are members of the Middleville United Methodist Church. Clair is a charter member of the Middleville Lions Cub and Dorothy is a member of the Order of Eastern Star. Clair loves bowling and Dorothy bingo. They both love a good game of bndge. When asked what the town of Middleville has meant to them, they both answered ’The people you gel to know and they become like family. There is a real family atmosphere here. We also feel that the school system has always been good here and a nice place to raise a family ” So on July 4th this year, come on out to the parade and say “Hi” to this year’s Grand Marshal Clair Brog and his pretty wife Dorothy. They ’ll be lookin’ to say “Hello” to you. June 15. 1981 Meeting called to order at 7:35 pan. by President Williamson. Present: Courts. VanElst, Van Rhee, Williamson, London, Martin. Absent Otto.

Dennis Martin Secretary �Page 2 / June 18, 1981 /The Sun and Newt, Middleville, Michigan LETTERS Comment* from our reader* may be exprewed in tht* column All letter* mutt be signed. but names will be withheld for good reason and at the discretion of the newspaper Views express­ ed in this column are not necessarily those of The Sun and News To the people of TK School District, Well, supposedly the taxpayers have spoken. I wonder what you said? Did you mean that you really wanted to deny the kids the subjects that would fulfill their majors and minors for col­ lege*’ Did you mean to take away all the fun things that are a part of school and school life? Did you mean to create a situation in the school where teachers who have the ability to teach English are now teaching science because of seniority status? Could that $40 - $45 mean that much to you that you felt you could justly deny the kids? Or did your message mean “There. Mr. Administrator, I showed you”? And if it was the second choice, God help you, because you didn’t really hurt anyone but the kids. I can’t really explain to you how hurt, how disappointed and how bad I feel about losing the millage battle. For years I’ve lived here and watched a school grow and have been a part of it. I’ve always been proud of our capability to provide for our school district with the funds that it needed. Maybe, a while ago, we were basking in a bit more money than was actually needed, but in this day, with everything costing twice what it is actually worth, how do you expect the school to budget last year’s money on this year’s economy? Mow often have you heard the state­ ment “What’s wrong with the kids to­ day?” Well, parents, answer that one with the statement “It’s not the kids, it’s the parents.” When we can be selfish enough to say that we can’t part with a few dollars a year to insure our child­ ren’s education, then it is parents and not children that have changed. If you look around this town, one wonders what the children do for enjoyment. We do not offer one place for them to gather as a group to enjoy each other's company. Now, thanks to each of the “No” voters, we have taken away school activities so as to deny them group participation in any sport, play, or any other extracurricular activity. I hope you can satisfy your ‘No’ vote with the fact that you have encouraged the drug pushers and users to gain more ground in our district, along with the alcoholk consumption of minors with nothing else to do but idle away their time. Thanks but no thanks from one who still cares Blanche Munjoy VBS AT CHRISTIAN REFORMED The Middleville Christian Reformed Church will be conducting Daily Vaca­ tion Bible School from June 22 to June 26. Classes will begin at 9:00 and the children will be dismissed at 11:30. Children from age four through sixth grade this past year are invited to attend. Parents and friends are invited to at­ tend a dosing program at 10:45 Friday evening. The theme of the five lessons is “Jesus. Your Word Lives in Me.” The children will enjoy the lessons, the play time and the crafts. Call 795-3667 if you need transportation for your child.

Four members of the Barry County Board of Commissioners will attend a special educational briefing June 17 at M&J. They will join more than 350 of their counterparts from throughout the state who will see some ways that MSU agricultural research and Extension can assist county government and local resi­ dents through educational programs. “This also gives us in Extension an opportunity to express our appreciation for the partnership in education that exists between MSU and the commis­ sioners,” says Doris Richardson, director of Extension in Barry' County. The daylong event is being sponsored by the MSU Cooperative Extension Ser­ vice and the MSU agricultural Experiment Station. The day’s program includes talks by key MSU administrators and tours that feature about 40 educational programs that are available to county residents. These range from computerized budgeting for Michigan families to leas­ ing lands for oil and gas exploration. It is also an opportune time for commissioners to learn about the purpose of extension and agricultural research. “They were begun by Congress in the early 1900s with the purpose of taking university-developed research to local residents,” says Mrs. Richardson. “Ex­ tension’s primary purpose is to help im­ prove the quality of people’s lives through education. The programs offered are based on local residents’ needs, be they development of leadership skills for the urban person or teaching farmers how to sell grain on the Chicago Board of Trade.” A subscription to The Sun and News will keep you informed about your community.

Barry Historical Society Has Full Meeting Presentation of the Barry County His­ torical Society’s Distinguished Service Award to Mrs. Amy Bower highlighted the annual June meeting of the society held at Charlton Park. Elected to office for the next society year, beginning in September, were Richard N. Loughrin, president; Jeanette Norquist, vice president; Mrs. Wayne Offley, secretary; Ernie Appelman, trea­ surer; Amy Bower, archivist;Charlotte Heath, assistant to the archivist; Adelbert Heath, Joyce F. Weinbrecht and Eileen Oehler, directors for a three-year term. Following the surprises of the potluck picnic supper near the Bristol Inn, the society heard committee reports for the ending year. The program committee, chaired by Gertrude Matthews, was given commendation for the variety and excellence of programs held at meetings throughout the county. The membership committee report was delayed so attain­ ment of the goal of 100 members is not known at this time. B. W. Bellinger re­ ported for the publicity committee and thanked the local papers for their coope­ ration in publishing the activities of the society. Frank Walsh of the McKeown Road Budge committee reported dial the bridge remains extant. Amy Bower stated that the Historical Markers committee has four metal markers in process for Nashville’s Putnam Library. Woodland Township Hall. Irving Township Ceme­ tery and Carlton Township Hall. Sugges­ tions for the Pansh House and the Presby­ terian Church as historic sites were re­ ceived . Richard Shuster of the oral history committee reported that the committee has obtained from Howard Frost an eye­ witness narrative recording of the first airplane flight over Hastings. Chairman Clara Stanton of the Township Cemetery records committee informed the society that records of five townships *ere com­ plete; volunteers for four ad&tional town­ ships compilations offered their assistance. Diana Hard’s Folk Arts committee re­ ported that the Charlton Park Museum contains sufficient examples of native Barry County folk art to be arranged as an exhibit at a meeting next year. The society voted unanimously to accept the china plate committee’s recommendation to purchase 500 china plates to be sold in a fund raising project. The plates will be a limited edition of 200 large eight-inch plates and 300 small five-inch plates, each decorated with an illustration of the county courthouse as it appeared in 1906. Agnes Smith, chairman, reported that editions of other illustrations of county history will be ordered after the expected successful sale of the current plates. Ed McPharlin, By-Law Revision com­ mittee, reported that the revisions pro­ posed by the committee had been adopted by the society. The Ephemeral Publication Preservation committee, Agnes McPharlin reporting requested authority to purchase another scrapbook since the present one has been completely filled. Brian Shumway’s newly formed Genealogy Committee for family histories, circulated a questionnaire to obtain a listing of family surnames to be research­ ed with the assistance of the committee. A program next year will be devoted to giving information on sources and methods of tracing family histories. The Striker House Study Committee, chaired by Esther Walton, informed the society that the work of the committee has been completed. The society’s money contribution to the study project is in the process of being reimbursed to the society. Copies of the printed report of the study, done by William Kessler and Associates, architects, were circulated to the members. The report states specifically what should be done to restore and reno­ vate the Striker House for preservation. A copy of the report was given to the I lastings Library and a copy will remain in the probate court office this summer for interested members of the public to examine. The Striker House committee thanked the persons who donated their services in the preparation of the report: Alan White, Chester Stowell, Tom Leonard, Barbara Furrow, Lawrence Dale, Mike Payne, Cathy and Doug McLeod, Mary Anne Karmes and Sylvia Dulaney. The report contains illustrations and measured drawings of “The Handsomest House in Hastings.” It does not. however, reveal the location of a surreptitious passageway which exists according to Hastings legend. Mrs. Propser Bernard and Clare and Nellie Richards of the Bernard Historical Society and museum at Delton were wel­ comed by the society as guests. The program was given by members who exhibited antique artifacts ans asked that each be identified as to its use. Ob­ jects identified included a flax hackle, which was promptly donated to Charlton Park Museum;a sliver fork used 100 yean ago to extract a delicacy of that time from its repository (roasted squirrel’s brains), a wooden press to squeeze crackl­ ings, a french bean slicer, a cup with a spout used to feed soup to ill persons, a ceramic cigar and match holder and ashtray, a riding crop carved from a black hawthome stick. Several artifacts, too difficult to describe, stumped the antiqu c experts. A collection of poems, “Farm Legends,” dated 1875, by Will Carleton, noted author of “Over the Hill to the Poor House,” was exhibited as well as several 100 year old photos of the Hastings City band and fire department FIRST REAL ESTATE CO 8201 CHERRY VALLEY AVENUE CALEDONIA.

Former Chief Fined, Jailed For 2 Weeks The former chief of police in Middle­ ville has been sentenced to two weeks in jail and ordered to pay $7,533 in restitu­ tion, fines and court coats after pleading no contest to fraud charges levied by Attorney General Frank J. Kelley and State Treasuere Loren E. Monroe. Clifford Norton, chief of the Middle­ ville Police Department for about seven years before resigning in March, 1980, was sentenced June 12 by Barry Circuit Judge Richard E. Robinson. Judge Robinson sentenced Mr Norton to three years probation including two weeks of confinement in the Barry Coun­ ty jail. The dates of that jail term will be arranged so that Mr. Norton can use vaca­ tion time from his current job in another state. Judge Robinson ordered Mr. Norton to pay $3,033 in restitution, $2,500 in fines and $2,000 in court costs. Mr. Norton pled no contest to uttering and publishing a check from Middleville Village on May 15, 1981. He had been charged with submitting false work records for a part-time police officer between July and November, 1979. The part-time officer was unaware of the scheme and had no involvement, but Mr. Norton was accused of receiving and subsequently cashing payroll checks based on those false work records. The irregularities were detected by a Treasury Department audit of Middle­ ville records and the charges against Mr Norton were prosecuted by the Attorney General. _____________ HEATING COOLING SALES AND SERVICE BARRY COUNTY'S LARGEST AND MOST COMPLETE SHOP Welton’s COMFORT CRAFTSMEN 401 North Broadway, Hastings PHONE 945 5352 �The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan / June 25, 1981 / Page 9 his baptism Sunday, then Bemadine and Harry attended his dinner at her folks.

Organized this year by Tom Wheeler and Ken Bray representing the Middleville Lions Qub, the planned events include fun activities for one and all. The stadium show has been planned by Don Chero. Clair and Dorothy Brog will be Grand Marshals of the parade which will step off from the Middle School at 11:30 a.m. Rod Kenyon, parade chairman, reminds the community that anyone wishing to do so may enter the parade. The parade route is west on Main Street to the high school parking lot where the main activi­ ties of the day will take place. Scheduled events include: 7-11 a.m. - Pancake breakfast at the VFW hall, downtown Middleville 7:30 a.m. - Registration for 10,000 meter run 8:30 am. — 10,000 meter run, followed by the Fun Run 10:00 am. - Horseshoe pitching begins 11:30 am. - Parade begins from Middle School Noon - Midway booths open 1:00 pm. - TK Youth Baseball 9-10 year olds All Star game 2:00 pm. - Pony pulling contests 3:00 pm. - Pet Parade 3:30 pm. - TK Youth Baseball 11-12 year olds All Star game Visitors to the big event will be kept busy during the day with the arts and crafts exhibit, the Jaycee barbequed chicken, and the many food and game booths set up by local groups and orga­ nizations. The community is also invited to visit the library in its new location and attend the book sale there. To help defray expenses of the day, raffle tickets will be on sale for the grand prize of a whole hog which will be butchered, cut, wrapped and frozen. The drawing will take place at 9 p.m. A fireworks display at dusk will cap the activities of the day. Firemen to Begin "Jaws’ Fund Drive The Middleville Thornapple Township Fire Department will be spearheading a fund raising campaign to purchase a “Jaws of Life” tool that would be added to the fire department equipment. Die “Jaws of Life” is a power unit over a hydraulic system used in extrication emergencies such as auto accidents, in­ dustrial, farm, or whatever the emergency may be. At the present time, the department uses hydraulic on mechanical equipment that is useful in extrication but “we can remove the whole top of a car in minutes with a “jaws” tool” explained Assistant Chief Bud Stone. “And time is very criti­ cal in al) emergencies, if on the highway, or wherever the need is for a service of this nature.” The “Jaws” tool cost approximately $7000 and the department hopes to make the drive for funds a community-wide affair. “We don’t know how long it will take to raise the money, but we feel the “Jaws” is a tool that we definitely can use in our service to the community and fire area,” said Stone. The department feels that the tool would be best purchased by donations and fund raisers throughout the commu­ nity rather than use tax money that is earmarked for the fire service. More information concerning the tool and how local organizations can become involved will be published at a later date. The Caledonia High School FFA team was honored at the Michigan Animal Breeders Cooperative annual Dairy Recognition Day held in Kalamazoo recently. The group finished as one of the top 18 teams in dairy judging competition in the state of Michigan. Representing Caledonia FFA were (pictured above, from left) instructor Alan Steeby, John Tiemeyer, Chuck Skinner, Gary Post and Greg Smith. Over 85 youth attended the day-long program which featured discussions on new developments in the dairy industry. Honor Caledonia FFA Members Janice Meyer (right) of the Byron Center Busy Workers 4-H Club, Caledonia, also a Cale­ donia FFA member, was recently recognized by Michigan Animal Breeders Cooperative-Select Sires for being one of 15 high individuals in statewide 4-H dairy judging competition. 4:00 pm. - Kids Games 7:30 pm. Stadium show and Raffle There will be plenty to keep folks busy during the day. besides the ever popular visiting with friends and neighbors. More than 20 arts and craf ts folks will have their handwork on display on the drive in front of the high school. The Rotarians are still challenging someone to win the $ 100 by getting a hole-in-one. You can rest your feet while you play bingo; or watch movies in the auditorium; or take a walk for a cake in the band room. New this year is face painting (not the cosmetic kind!) in addition to the popular 4-H Do-lt Displays. The pct parade promises a fun time, plus prizes. All would-be cowboys are invited to ride the mechanical bull - another first-time visitor to Middleville’s Fourth. Or you can let the Heritage Association take you back in time at their Old Fashioned General Store. Food is never a problem on the Fourth if you go for the All- American traditional* of barbequed chicken, hot dogs, lemonade, ice cream, buffalo burgers, soft drinks and cotton candy. The stadium show begins at 7:30 and will feature Craig Kenyon at the Hammond Organ, “The Chosen Ones” band, and country singer Faye Freeman. The dare­ devil Sky divers will again amaze folks with their ability to land on target, and in between the acts, prizes will be drawn for the $1000 worth of merchandise being raffled off. The highlight of the evening and finale of the day will be the half hour fireworks display. Many hours of time are donated, as are most prizes, the largest expense of the day being the fireworks. This cost is met by the sale of raffle tickets, which were sold in advance and will be sold during the day for $ 1.00 each. For Map/Schedule of the Fourth activities, see center section of this week’s Sun and News. FOURTH OF JULY NOTES; Needleworkers Take Note!

Don’t forget to wear your uniform. �Page 2 / July 2, 1981 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan | IT’S A WOMAN’S WHIRL g with Joanne Boysen Has it occurred to you - Christmas is less than six months away? Now is the time to make all those special handmade gifts you won’t have time for later. I keep reminding myself of that while I steal a few minutes to sit on the porch or patio to enjoy these rare, glorious summer days in Michigan, and somehow I can’t seem to get too concerned about those special projects. I sometimes begrudge the hours I have to spend indoors at this time of year. There just never seems to be enough time to do all the “have-to” chores and still savor the bounty of Michigan sum­ mers. I know how much we will enjoy the frozen and canned vegetables, fruits, pickles, jams, jellies, etc., but there’s a powerful attraction to a walk on the beach or in the woods — or even a brief stop to “smell the roses” on the patio. Sometimes seeing things through someone else’s eyes really gives one a new appreciation for “the world around us.” My aunt from Alabama came up in May to visit for a couple of weeks. She is a delight to have around - interested in so many things, always ready to go wherever you planned for the day. We drove over to Lake Michigan, up to Rock­ ford, to Grand Rapids, to the cereal fac­ tory in Battle Creek, to Don’s family farm over on the muck land. I found myself really seeing things I hadn’t thought about before. She hadn’t seen rhubarb and asparagus and celery growing before. Peonies and lilacs were new. and never had she seen such huge violets. She doesn’t have time to grow old because she has too many places to go and too many things to do. None of her family understand^ why she doesn’t really like to fly, but as she puts it, she isn’t in a hurry and she enjoys seeing the country­ side as she passes through. We’re already thinking of so many things we still have to show her and truly hope she will come again soon. Strawberry season has come and gone, and I hope you all enjoyed some of those luscious strawberry pies. This is the recipe for a good pie crust for the fresh fruit pies - could be used for blueberry, peach, etc., as well as strawberry. Mom got the recipe from a super cook friend. The basic recipe makes enough for three pies - bottom crust only. COOKIE CRUST 1 cup vegetable oil 4 tablespoons milk 3 tablespoons sugar Girl Scouts Have Good Day Camp The Middleville Girl Scouts had a very successful day camp at Harwood Lake on June 23 and 24. Over 30 girls attended, cooked their own lunch, hiked, did craft projects and had lots of fun. Sixteen of the older scouts stayed overnight and went swimming and canoeing with Nancy Perry as Water Safety. Jill Thomas and Betsy Butler coordinat­ ed the crafts with Sandy Zugel assisting. Jill also took slides to show at our annual banquet. Shirley Howell and Doris Brog bought our groceries for us each day. Mary Ann Vandal worked as our campcraft specialist, while Eddy Sue Thomas helped as our transportation manager. Barb Zumpf was our camp nurse and an all around helper.

Fourth of July Message Patriotism Isn’t a Spectator Sport Fireworks will crackle on the Fourth of July, banners wave, bands blare and paraders strut. It’s all in the American tradition, the citizens’ way of expressing thanks that this democracy has survived, waxed robust and provided strong leadership during trying periods. President Reagan put into words an aspect of American idealism when he said . we as Americans have the capacity now, as we have had in the past, to do whatever needs to be done to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom.” But this unique holiday observance goes much further than merely applauding marchers, cheering at ball games, and eating hot dogs and apple pie. There is op­ portunity here for careful appraisal of American ideals and accomplish­ ments—how we got where we are today and how we will approach the challenge of the 1980s. On the economic front two generations have been born which have never ex­ perienced a serious depression. There have been pockets of distress, but these have been largely eliminated by 35 years of continued prosperity. The slumps which have occurred have generally been mild and have quickly run their course. In the years following World War II the United States came forth with the Mar­ shall Plan to help restore the shattered economies of war-tom nations. Such a program had never been attempted before. This American largesse has helped to reduce, if not banish, misery in many countries, it has also contributed to reviving the economic muscle of some indus­ trialized nations which have since strongly challenged the commercial leadership of the United States. And this country still stands as a beacon of freedom and liberty. America is unquestionably the land of opportunity, the summit of dreams. So what do all these facts add up to? Simply this. Every citizen should realize we have a country of astonishing strength, generosity and idealism. All of us should try to fortify these traits in the American character. Patriotism isn’t a spectator sport. You don’t score any points standing on the sidelines. There have been, and will continue to be, unhappy moments in out history. The whole world learns about them. It is such candor in the American open socie­ ty that wins the admiration even of our critics. In your everyday routine, Mr. and Mrs. America, you are in the world spot­ light, whether you realize it or not. How you react in coping with your country’s needs can influence this nation’s fate for years to come. This is one of the key purposes of the Honor America program—to try to per­ suade each and every American &dult to examine his or her attitude toward today's problems. Do you withhold judgment on national issues—some of which are very complex—until you are adequately informed on all aspects'’ To paraphrase an old saying, Do you walk a mile in your adversary’s shoes before you decide he’s right or wrong? Are you willing to suffer small inconveniences to attend a meeting or discussion on community affairs? The practice of drift or neglect of small problems can lead to larger troubles later. If you have doubts about the character of your country , remember the words of President Reagan’s inaugural speech: “Our objective must be a healthy, vigorous, growing economy that provides equal opportunities for all Americans with no barriers bom of bigotry or dis­ crimination It does require our best effort, our work and our willingness to believe in ourselves and in our capacity to perform great deeds, that together and with God's help we can and will resolve the problems which confront us.” Monday night, June 22, before the Middleville Girl Scout day camp opened, someone stole about $200 worth of camp­ ing gear that they had left at Harwood lake for use during camp. Some of the items had “Bass” marked on them and some with “Middleville Girl Scouts.” If you see any of these, please notify Ann Bass, 795-9020, or Judy Jackiewicz 945-9298.

Only two days of the two North trek is a short hour’s drive from weeks that we didn’t have some rain, but Seattle-Tacoma area. It is near Eatonville Wash. Part of the day we walked in drizzl­ ing rain which resulted in a case of bursitis in my right shoulder which lasted about three days. Another day, which was quite breezy, we took a trip to Bremerton to visit the UJS5. Missouri battleship which was launched January 29, 1944. It was christened by Margaret Truman. It is stationed at the Puget Sound Naval ship­ yards. We viewed the plaque locating the ceremony of surrender when Japan formally surrendered to end WWII. Many visitors were there. There were 24 battle­ ships stationed at this area. There was talk of putting this ship, also the UJS.S. New Jersey, back to use. They were nearly finished being painted. The day before we left for home, we took a drive up to the Pacific Ocean. The day was reasonably warm - high of 73° • (most of the vacation was 50m65°), The boys hoped to find a collection of sand dollars - a round flat form of fish with a hard shell - but found only pieces of some. It was like a red tide came in. The water was reddish-brown and all wild life washed up o n the shore when the tide came in was dead. Millions of mussles had washed up on the shore. The sea gulls did not eat them. They say all wild life is poisonous at this type of tide. The animals must sens it. We picked up a few mementos of driftwood and shells. We had a picnic lunch at one of the way­ side picnic tables near the ocean. Guess what, I forgot to pack the sandwiches’ It was very windy. About 25 seagulls were hovering over us to beg for a few crumbs so we fed them a little cheese and crackers. We enjoyed one day at Paradise, a 5400 ft. altitude up Mt. Rainier. There is a big viewing area and restaurant up there. There was quite a bit of snow in some areas. It was about 40° and at the peak of the mountain it was 5 above. We did not visit Mt. St. Helens. It erupted the first Thursday evening we were there. They have a great restricted area and we didn’t go near it. At evening time Mt. Rainier is so beautiful at Puyallup. It looks like a big giant ice cream cone, looks as though it’s only on another street a block or two away although it is some distance. It’s breathtaking. We flew over several Cascade ranges over the Seattle-TacomaPuyallup area. Mt. Rainier. Mt. Hood. Mt. Baker, and Mt. St. Helens was a little out of range when our airplane took us. One evening Jim and his boys and their mother Marlene. Ralph and I went out to dinner at the Yellow Daffodil at Puyallup. We had lots of time to visit. On Father’s Day Marlene invited us and her grandparents to her house for Sunday dinner. We enjoyed it very much. At Washington, on the west side of the im uie area where we lived, is a beautiful, fertile area. The trees and grass are so beautiful and green. The area reminds me of the upper peninsula near Marquette where we spent so many vacations with our families when they were growing up rfbar Kiva. I guess that’s why son Jim chose to settle in that area. One day the Seattle newspaper showed a picture of the Grand Rapids Calder and said they hoped to have something of that nature at Tacoma so that people would want to come to their town to see it. We left for home Friday June 26. We left aboaut 9 a.m. Seattle time arrived home around 8:30 Caledonia time. We flew on Northwest Orient. I have taken many trips on airplanes but I have yet to find an airline with more pleasant and efficient stewardesses or one that serves more delicious meals. Our breakfast consisted of a choice of two - quiche Loraine (pancakes and sausages) or eggs benedict - the other sliced Canadian bacon, breakfast roll and butter, coffee, tea or pop, Vi papaya, a lime wedge, dessert roll and champagne. We chose this one and it was delicious. We had an enjoyable vacation. We were also happy to arrive home safely, except for a few disappointments. The potato bugs were eating up our potato leaves, the peas needed picking, the rabbits ate all our beans, and even my prize cactus had Jhe audacity to have 5 blossoms while we were gone? As you can see, life goes on even though wv aren’t here. “You must be looking for my sister..

I tried to keep the slices between 1/8 and 1/4”. There were 10 trays, so we’d fill all of them, laying the slices as close as possible without overlapping - the natural curve of the apple encourages fitting each apple under the next. It took about 12 hours. I did it overnight - cheaper, or I guess low demand time for the electricity. Actually, once I got started, I kept the dehydrator going constantly, but by doing it only at night you’d be a better manager, cause you could do a lot of other things during the day. What husband doesn’t expect you to have a lot of other things done during the day! Me - once I start, I want to get it done and out of4he way, so I kept it up until all were done. When I had goofed and got my slices a little too thick, I had to sort them out and do the biggest ones a little longer. Never having done them before, I took them out too soon - so I had to take them out of the containers and do them a little longer. So now I have a nice lot of dried apples for next winter. I love to snack on them. My grandmother reconstituted them for dried applie pie. I haven’t done that yet. I saw an article on drying a lot of vegetables and fruit, so after strawberry season is almost gone, I decided to try to dry strawberries. I have lots of hindsight but very little foresight. «, ? You are supposed to use nice berries, as perfect as possible. If I’d done them right at the beginning, I would have had no problem. So mine were less than per­ fect. You steam them for 1 minute. I used my new stainless steel flower petal type folding steamer. Don’t put in too many berries (as I did) - or the bottom ones are mush and the top cold. You steam it for one minute, then cut them in half and lay them on the trays, keeping them as close together as possible to get the maxi­ mum on the tray. Simple directions, aren’t they? If any­ body can goof it up. I can. After steaming, they tend to be softer. In fact, I included some soft ones to begin with, which they said not to use. But too many of mine were a little over-ripe. So by the time they were slices (?) on the tray, they were extra soft. And boy, what a long time to get dry, from 12 noon to 5:30 ajn. the next day. I’d check them after the 12 hours, sampling the thickest (yummy). What a delicious odor wafting through the house. I even got up at 3 a.m. to sec if they were ready - not yet. But at 5.30 am. you could have found me - barefoot and in my nightgown, religiously scraping every dry little particle off the trays. The dogs even came down to see what the heck I was doing at that time of morning. After breakfast I’ll put them in con­ tainers and store with my apples. The article says “you can use them for snacks, add to yogurt, combine in citrus salad, stir them in pancakes, muffin and cake batter, whirl them in the blender with a milk shake, make berry bit tea. and of course sprinkle them on your cereal. Their delicate sweetness and fresh flavor can turn a ho-hum dish into a treat”. I forgot to add that my berries had a lot of juice left in the bottom of the pan, so 1 froze that - it had a very strong flavor - to make something later. I may even try jelly - it sure tasted good. Hope this gets yon to trying the drying process. You don’t even need a dehydrator. They suggest taking two old window screens, putting on the new plastic mesh instead of metal screening. Put hinges on them and hang them in the sun. Keeps the bees and flies away. 1 want to try that with my peas. A subscription to The Sun and News will keep you informed about your community.

The general public is invited for tours of the facilities from 2-6 pan. The system serves properties along the shore­ line of Gun Lake. Barlow Lake. Cobb Lake and Payne Lake. There are currently 1200 customers, and an additional 800 hookups are expected before November, 1981. According to Andrew Downing of the Gun Lake Area Sewer Authority, comple­ tion of the project is the result of ten years of effort and cooperation among several communities, as well as Barry and Allegan county officials. “Ten years ago we recog­ nized the need to provide sewer service to the area. We have a sizable community, located along the lake shores. There was a real need to provide a system to protect the public health and the water quality in the area.*’ He added that the townships had no means to finance a project. “We were fortunate that Act 185 was passed, to permit the county to back the bonds for an undertaking such as this.” The total cost of the project was $25,000,000. The system serves residents in Yankee Springs and Orangeville Town­ ships in Barry County, as well as Wayland and Martin Townships in Allegan County. Downing pointed out that the number of governmental units involved required an unusual amount of coordination and cooperation. “The administrative con­ cerns were as complicated as the design in construction, if not more so.” The timing of all the applications, resolutions, contracts and financing procedures had to be coordinated between four townships, two county Boards of Public Works, two county Boards of Commissioners, the Michigan Department of Natural Re­ sources and the U. S. Environmental Pro­ tection Agency. “Through it all, we’ve appreciated the support of the residents and property owners of the area. We look forward to having a large number of people tour the plant on the 10th. cake and a bucket of chicken at the noon hour. The Phil Benders enjoyed a steak fry at the Dave Troutman home on Saturday evening, and on Sunday they called on his brother Elwyn and and family.

Dean Petersen and some friends from Kalamazoo have been helping Mike Bremer prepare to build his log home by stripping the bark from cut pine trees. Last Thursday Dean, Craig Begema, James Ritesma and Richard Ritesma stripped 17 logs in 3 hours and 59 minutes, a record that will be hard to beat. The annual reunion of the sisters and brothers of Alice Steiner and Lois Bremer and their families was held this weekend at our Davis Road homes.. Guess it began Thursday night with the arrival of our first week end guests. More arrived on Friday and Saturday, for a nice total of 136 people for the noon meal and festivities at the Steiner home on Sunday. As our neighbors no doubt noticed, our yards were dotted with tents, vans, motor homes and trailers. We were especially pleased this year to have a niece with us who has spent several years at a mission station in Guatemala, to meet her two children, and to hear some of their experiences. Other family members came from Florida, Wis­ consin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. We’re weary and worn when the week end is over, but the ’ties that bind’ are so dear to us that we look forward to next year.

Department of Health and Human Ser­ vices to continue their efforts to expaid and improve the Emergency Medical Systems in the region. The eight-county region includes Barry, Berrien. Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Kalamazoo. St. Joseph and VanBuren counties. Southwest Michigan is one of three regions in the state to receive this funding. As a result of the Federal EMS Act of 1973, regional agencies may receive fund­ ing for a maximum of four years, with the first two years devoted to Basic Life Support and the second two years devoted to Advanced Life Support. SWM Systems is in the third year of the funding cycle. Emphasis during the grant year, July 1, 1981 to June 30, 1982, will be directed towards the development of Advanced Life Support systems, establishment of a region-wide trauma system, improving radio communications, implementing the emergency access number “911”, public education and information, and continu­ ing education for emergency medical personnel. Studies documenting the effectiveness of the EMS system will also be undertaken. Grand funds have been utilized in the past to implement programs in all eight counties, including training for physicians, nurses, paramedics and emergency medi­ cal technicians, purchase of vital patient care and extrication equipment for ambu­ lance and rescue services, training of the public in CPR and emergency prevention, disaster planning, and development of regionwide treatment and transfer proto­ cols.

Many Dutchers from many states and Canada, a total of 387 attended. They determined they descended from a family in the state of New York. Some of them fought in the Revolution. John Jr. was trying to find out about Washington Dutcher. He met a woman who knew he was her husband's grand­ father and he was related to the first Charles Dutcher, father of David. He was a minister and probably a brother to Charles. He was likely a Methodist minister as there were several Methodist churches in the area at West Bowne, Bowne Center, East Caledonia and Whit­ ney ville. The church at East Caledonia was the work of David Dutcher. At least the reunion was a success and not long enough. One Dutcher, a commer­ cial fisherman, caught enough white fish for the potluck dinner. My grandson John is painting my house. He recently painted Gladys Abraham’s house and it looks fine.

He did a beautiful job and it was a lovely wedding. Fourth of July seems long ago already, but it’s not too late to say my thanks to everyone who helped make it such a nice “down home’’ day. It was fun watching the parade through the eyes of our grand children who were so super-excited, and it was also nice to take off “all by myself’ to look through the crafts, admire the quilts, get an ice cream cone, or whatever. If those of us who are not members of local organizations who plan the day would volunteer to give a few hours of our time, it would lessen the load for everyone - plus making ail feel more a part of the day. With all we read in the paper about world hunger, I couldn’t help but wonder what could happen if we all gave up fire­ works - or even half of them - and gave the rest of the money to feed the under­ nourished people of the world. Ovemigit guests at the Fred Steiners on July 5 and 6 were our niece and family from Guatemala, Butch and Lois Prohaska. They also were at Middleville’s celebration and it was the first parade for their child­ ren, ages 3 and 4. They thoroughly enjoyed the day here. Butch acquired a bus while spending time in Missouri this year, and the family are enroute back to Guatemala in it.

Sidewalk Sale In Caledonia Back in June of 1969 when the First Baptist Church of Middleville moved to their new church on M-37 north of town, they sold their historic old church on East Main Street to the Village of Middleville. One item in that old church that they did retain however, was the 700 pound bell, cast in Troy, New York, in 1869. For the past ten years the bell has been in storage, but on Tuesday of this week it was put in place on the “new” church. A huge crane, below, lifted the bell to the platform where Dan Jeffery (center above) is constructing the bell tower. Looking on is Pastor Wes Smith (left) and one of the church’s older mem­ bers, John Jousma.

Sometimes it is so hard to live one day at a time. We seem always to be looking ahead or reliving the past, and today often gets lost. Serious illnesses and injuries bring home to us, sometimes with frightening intensity, the futility of trying to recapture what’s al­ ready past and waiting for a tomorrow that might never arrive. Three weeks ago a very serious motorcycle-pick-up truck collision in Cody, Wyoming, almost claimed the life of our young friend, Irvin Timm. Prompt, skilled emergency treatment in Cody stabilized his condition enough so that he could be transferred to Billings, Montana, where more specialized medical services were Caledonia FFA’er available. There he underwent more emergency surgery and spent several days in the intensive care unit. Since Don and I had already arranged for vacation time, we decided that we would postpone our lazy week up on the Muskegon River and go to Montana to see Irv Two and a half days and fifteen hundred miles later we found our friend improving and soon able to be transferred out of ICU. Last week he came home by air ambulance and is now' a patient at St. Mary’s Hospital (Room 540) in Grand Rapids. He faces a long recovery, and once again we must remind ourselves and him that we can only live one day at a time. Don and I drove to Montana and, even from the freeways, we were able to see and appreciate what an amazingly varied landscape we enjoy in this country. From the lush greenery of Michigan and Wiscon­ sin to the rugged harshness of the Badlands was quite a change, and we found the lack of trees and greenery downright depress­ ing. We took time for a brief side trip into the Black Hills, which were breathtakingly beautiful, and we did appreciate Mt. Rushmore, but what we saw of the rest of South Dakota made us wonder why our ancestors ever wanted to take it away from the Indians! It’s easy to see why Montana is called the “Big Sky” Country. Sometimes it almost seemed that we could see forever with a big blue inverted bowl overhead. We truly liked what we saw of the state and the climate at least in summer, and we hope to go back some day and explore all nature’s bounty that we didn’t have time for this trip. Several times on our way to Montana and back, as we picked up different radio stations, we heard a new John Denver record. I don’t know the title of the song but the lyrics stayed with me. “Some days are diamonds, some days are stone. Sometimes the hard times won’t leave me alone. ” Whether our days are dia­ mond or stone, each one is a gift - if only we can learn to treasure it as if it were the last. ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR - Barbara Mandrell, country music’s “Entertainer of the year" headlines the 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. grandstand shows at the Ionia Free Fair on Monday, August 3.

Persons from Cherry Valley Avenue were present with a continuing problem of the uncompleted areas on their properties that resulted from the construction of the sewer. They are very concerned about this problem. Much discussion was had about this. Roetman suggested that we owe it to the people to correct the situa­ tion. A meeting of Williams & Works, engineers, the Road Commission, and the Council representative will be set up to consider what can be done to finally attend to this problem. Mr. McLachlan is also concerned about the flow of the water in the drainage ditch behind his property. Kegerreis will contact Anger Excavating about this.

Freeman brought up the mowing at the Library to Mr. Gackler of the Town­ ship Board. Kuffer reported that further study of the cost of smoke testing and removing all the storm drains from the sanitary sewer system shows that it would be more ex­ pensive than the cost of operation of the plant caused by excessive storm flow. He would recommend not doing the project at this time. VandenHeuvel reported that the flow metering equipment is not back yet. Discussion on the fate of the farm house brought forth the suggestion that it be torn down. J. Freeman and Cherry will place an ad i-n the paper to have the house torn down.

Jacqueline Cherry Village Clerk EAST CALEDONIA with CELESTA DUTCHER Carl and Mary Jo Pickard and Marc and Joanne were dinner guests of the Sheehans and Molly last Sunday. I went to see the burning of St. Patrick Church. It was decided to let it bum com­ pletely. WOTV photographers were on hand taking pictures for their newscasts. It seemed very sad to see it bum, particu­ larly for the parishoners. Mike was bap­ tized in that church and they attended the final services. Many parishoners lived in the Alto-Freeport area. St. Patrick’s was a mission church of Holy Family in Caledonia. I got a fall Thursday. 1 edged my way to the phone as I couldn’t get up. Elvis and Mike came over and helped me get up.

Frank, Pat and Allie called one evening. They were taking a ride hoping to cool off that hot evening.

Sawyer’s district office in Grand Rapids is taking reservations on a firstcome, first served basis. “The idea be­ hind these trips is to give 5th district residents an opportunity to visit the na­ tion’s capitol at a reasonable price,” Sawyer said. “Last year, we scheduled five such trips,” he continued. “They proved to be such a huge success that we decided to continue the program this year.” In each case, a 46-passenger bus will leave from Grand Rapids at 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday and return to Grand Rapids the following Sunday morning. Participants will stay at the Howard Johnson Motel across from the Watergate Complex. The itinerary will include a stop at the Catholic Shrine, a tour of the Capitol Building, the F.B.1. building, a night bus tour, a boat tour down the Potomac River, and a “coffee and donut” meeting with Rep. Sawyer. There will also be plenty of free time for those who want to attend events at the Kennedy Center, visit the Smithsonian Institute, or go sight seeing. The base price, of the trip is $ 188 per person. That includes bus fare, hotel accommodations and a one-day tourmobile ticket. The basic price of $188 is based on double occupancy of a room. For four people sharing a room, the price is $145 per person. For three people sharing a room, the price is $160 per person. For those wanting a single room, the price is $258. Reservations can be made by calling Kim Cudney in the Congressman’s district office, 451-8383. �Page 2 / July 30, 1981 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan IT’S A WOMAN’S WHIRL with Joanne Boysen This has been the summer for our family to spread out in all directions. At one time, Beth was in Arizona, Chris was in California, Mike was in Canada, and Marty was in northern Michigan. All of them are back in the area now except Beth, who is still checking out job oppor­ tunities in Arizona while waiting to see what the final picture will be in our schools this fall. It’s always interesting to read and hear about iob opportunities m other states, and while other areas do share many of Michigan’s education woes, our economic recession is apparently more severe. I’m certainly not smart enough to know how to remedy the situation, but it is distress­ ing to see the so-called “brain drain” occurring as many of our talented and skilled people take jobs out of state. Some may eventually return, but many will not, and we will have lost some of our most valuable resources. As summer flies past, and we get closer to the beginning of another school year, our thoughts turn more and more to the problems and uncertainties facing us. and how they affect us personally. Our Marty will be a senior this year, and I can’t help feeling a little bitter that, after all our years of supporting the schools in every way possible, this is to be the year when so many of the extracurri­ cular (and some curricular) activities im­ portant to him are to be eliminated track, student council, yearbook, to name a few. Academically, he has done well, and getting into the college of his choice shouldn't be a problem, but the “extras” give depth and dimension to education that promotes individual development, (and which of us has not pulled out our high school yearbooks to look up some­ one’s name, and to reminisce about this or that person or activity?!) Since our family has so rarely been to­ gether this summer. I’ve spent much less time in the kitchen than usual, but I am building up a collection of new (at least to me) recipes to share, and I would cer­ tainly welcome your contributions. Just send them to me c/o the “Sun and News.” WASHINGTON DELEGATES - Pictured above are 4-Hers from the Kettle Lake 4-H Club of Caledonia who will be participating in the Washington Citizenship Focus Conference.

She was always a happy per* son and never liked the idea of being old or getting old. In 1964, Edith was invited to her sister. Lucy Otis’, in Hastings, and while there Lucy took her to their senior citizen meeting. Edith had such a good time, she expressed a desire to start one in Caledonia. When she got home, she de­ cided to do something about it, so she invited several people in for a chicken dinner and told them of her desire to start an over 60 club in Caledonia. All Anywhere.. .anytime! That's what a high-interest savings account ca n get you! Whether you save for the holiday of your dreams... or for any other reason... the steady de­ posits and high rates add up fast­ er than you can say, "vacation"! STATE BANK CALEDONIA FDIC WITH OFFICES IN CALEDONIA AND DUTTON, MICHIGAN agreed it was a good idea, and being she was always so happy, they chose the name “Happy 60’s Group.” The first meeting, September 21, 1964 8 people came and the senior citizen club was organized. Each person was asked to invite two others for the next meeting. It was decided to have a potluck dinner on October 5,1964. Marjorie Kaechele was the temporary president during the busi­ ness meeting. At the election of officers Leon Peet was elected president. Mrs. Campbell vice president and Edith became secretary and treasurer. 19 were present at this meeting. Many of the monthly meetings were held in the homes of the seniors as they had no other place. The November meet­ ing was held at the methodist church and they enjoyed that a lot. Devotions were given at many meetings, stories told and sometimes slides were shown by some who have traveled. A collection has always been taken to help pay what expenses came up, cards for the sick, or a plant if they had enough money. In 1965 most meetings were held in the homes yet, then August 9 they had their dinner at the Caledonia Park with only 6 present, and of course it rained that day. In September they met at the Caledonia Shelter house with a weenie Roast and another good program, with election of officers. At this time they voted to have election 2 times a year, in September and May, due to so many going to Florida. Leon Peet was elected president again, vice president was Doris Peet, and Secretary-Treasurer was Dorothy VerMerris. There were 12 present. In January 1967, the Ernest and Madge Ruehs had 37 present at their home for their wedding anniversary. My, what a good turnout at that time. In February 1967 they started going to the various churches to have the din­ ners. It was greatly appreciated, with Edith always being present at ail meet­ ings. Her health was excellent and she enjoyed every bit of what she put into the club and gave to others by being so happy. • We have had seven different seniors who have become president since 1964 and we have had 40 deaths in the area since 1965. We have 11 living seniors past 80 years who have been in the Happy 60s group. Birthdays are given top billing each month when the Cale­ donia Happy 60*s meet. The picture shown is of our founder Edith in October 1973 at age 91. Edith’s daughter, Lucille, with whom she has made her home for the past seven years, would bring Edith out from Grand­ ville to the meetings whenever possible. The Happy 60s Club celebrated its 16th birthday at the United Methodist Church with a large turnout for dinner and a wonderful program, but due to Edith’s failing health she could not be present. We have all missed her smiling face and her cheerful way of meeting all of us. She not only loved her senior citizens, but was a friend, a mother, grandmother to all the children around her, and the young folks idolized her. What a wonderful Christian lady God gave to us. She will never be forgotten. If Edith were here she would say “Let’s all keep happy, no matter if we are 60, or 80, or almost 99. It’s always just the right time for a little fun.” and she loved fun. Our memories go out to you. Edith, and our deepest sympathy to your loving daughter Lucille for taking such good care of you these past years. Working for us helps them work better for you!

Myrtle will display her items in clay and wooden weathervanes. Held on a tree shaded island in the Grand River that is one block from down­ town Grand Ledge, the Island Art Fair is sponsored by Grand Ledge’s award win­ ning non-profit Ledge Craft Lane, Ltd. This year’s show will offer a selection of handmade toys, quilts, ceramics, paintings, weaving, etc., along with several old crafts which have been revived with some contemporary additions. Among the 125 craftsmen who were able to reserve spaces (all were spoken for by early April), are a San Francisco couple who will sell etchings and prints, a Portland woman who makes home made candies, wheat weavers, tinsmiths, basket and broom makers, and a local artist who handcrafts seaport scenes from bits of driftwood. The clever wrap-around jumpers which sold like the proverbial hotcakes at past fairs will again be available along with one-of-a-kind blouses and skirts with hand stitchery and needlework trimming, sun bonnets, and a new line of original T-shirts. With the Grand River as a backdrop, visitors may ride on the paddle boat, listen to the music of bagpipes, dulcimers, musicians and singers, have their portraits drawn, or enjoy hot dogs, cold drinks and ice cream sundaes. Special for the children are a delightful clown who will fashion balloons into animals or other fanciful shapes and a make-u- artist who can turn a child into a clown. Indian, or Spiderman at the flick of a grease paint tube. With an island full of activity, the City of Grand Ledge will roll out the red carpet to entertain and serve visitors. Merchants will be holding their annual sidewalk sales, as well as a flea market of collectibles and antiques, and eating places will feature menu specials. New this year for the convenience of visitors, are the Eatran mini-buses making a circuit of the island and other events so visitors may park at the city outskirts and ride without charge between activities.

He represents the Court as a pro bono publico (volunteer) lawyer. The suit seeks to forbid the state depart­ ment from requiring the judge to obtain a license to operate foster homes in the county for neglected and delinque nt children. The county probate court was joined by the judges association as a party to the law suit. Professor Williams Downs, University of Detroit Law School, is at­ torney for the association. Barry County Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming has granted a judgment in favor of the probate court and judges association. The social services department has appealed to the Court of appeals. The court and association are now attempting to bypass the appeals court and to go directly to the state supreme court for a final ruling.

'Wfr-r^ w-A. i I AUGUST 6, 1981 * MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 AG 111th YEAR * NUMBER 32 Boosters Must Have $22,000 'On Hand’ by Aug.17 The Thornapple Kellogg Board of Edu­ cation Monday night gave its approval to the fund raising activities of the TK Boosers in an effort to restore extra curricular activities to the system this fall. That approval did not come, however, without two'of the board members finding fault with the Boosters on the timing of their funding program. Board members Wes VanRhee and Duane Thatcher were upset that the group did not Tint get ap­ proval from the Board before going ahead with the funding ideas. After lengthy discussion the Board recognized the Boosters as an “official fund raising group” according to a policy the board had set previously this year. The Board also told the Boosters that $22,000 must be committed by August 17 to insure the fall extra curriculum activities will be made available to the students. At particular issue was the August 1 deadline that the Board had previously set for groups to come forth with funds for cut programs. The Booster spokesman, Jim Verlinde, pointed out that their group did not get organized until three weeks ago and didn’t have an opportunity to clear their ideas with the Board. The Board had to rescind their motion of June 15 and then set the August 17 dead­ line as the date when $22,000 must “be committed by cash or note to the Board for the funding.” Both Board members VanRhee and Thatcher, although voicing general support for the Booster’s plan to fund extra curri­ culum programs, were critical of the group for not clearing their ideas with the Board first. Especially coming under fire was the Booster plan to sell $ 100 golden seats at football and basketball games this year. “By whose authority did you think you could designate certain seats in the stadium or gym for this purpose,” said Van Rhee. Judy Sloan, a member of the Boosters and one of the originators of the $100 seat idea, reported that when it was first suggested at a Booster meeting, the people there were enthusiastic and the $100 bills “started coming in right then. I guess we didn’t think about it being a problem,” she said. Thatcher, after a heated exchange with Superintendent Arthur Ellinger, challenged the administration \ record on making recommendations and then having to rescind or change them at a later time. “This puts the Board in a very uncomfort­ able position,” he said. Ellinger defended his statement to the Boosters that the August 1 deadline could probably be worked around. “When we made that recommendation to the board in June, we (the administration) did so because of certain athletic scheduling problems,” said Ellinger. Assistant Superintendent Jerry Page felt that the August 1 deadline was not “cast in cement.” Thatcher wanted It to be remembered that “we should recall this night if some tinye later we must cut curriculum to fund committed extra-curriculum activities.” Verlinde, in outlining what the Boosters had done so far, reported that the group was committed to funding the extra curri­ culum program for the year. It is estimated that over $55,000 must be raised to ac­ complish this, of which $22,000 is the fall portion. A meeting was set for this Wed­ nesday night (August 5) to discuss ways and means to meet the Board’s August 17 deadline.

Honored Each June the Middleville Rotary Club sends a young man from the community to the Rotary Youth Leadership Confer­ ence held at Camp Emery near Muskegon. This year Scott Page, a 1981 graduate of TKHS, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Page of Gun Lake, was Middleville’s representa­ tive. In a letter from the camp director, William Austin of Muskegon, Scott’s parents were informed how much Scott was appreciated at the conference. He said “You would be interested to know, I’m sure, that this year Scott was named the outstanding potential leader of the one hundred young men assembled at Blue Lake. This is an unusual and a unique honor. In a five day period to have one young man surface as the outstanding leader so judged by his peers, is some­ thing not to be taken lightly.” In this leadership role, Scott was named the master of ceremonies at the concluding banquet. This fall Scott will attend the University of Michigan. �Page 2 / August 6, 1981 / The Hun and News, Middleville, Michigan Three Players from Area on Hope’s Flying Dutchmen Football Squad When the Flying Dutchmen of Hope College open their football season on Sep­ tember 5, there will be three local students on the team.

We arrived at Crossroad Village at 10:40 to board the Huckleberry Train witn an “All Aboard” caD given. Many passengers were in the coaches. The steam powered 38-ton Baldwin locomotive that pulls the wooden passenger coaches, gondolas and caboose was originally de­ signed to operate at temperatures near 80° below zero near Fairbanks, Alaska. The restored coaches, the oldest which was built in 1875, came from railroads located in the West and Southwest and Mexico. How the name of Huckleberry Train was originated, the engineer would stop along the way and grab a handful of wild huckleberries.

A directory that can put you in touch with your own historical past? It’s the “Directory of Historical So­ cieties and Agencies in Michigan" published by the Historical Society of Michigan “We hope that this directory will prove beneficial in many ways, most especially as an inspiration to those who are involved in the work of local historysaid Thomas L. Jones, executive director of the state­ wide organization. The directory lists historical societies and agencies throughout Michigan. Each entry gives the address, phone number, contact person, membership information, publications and major activities of each organization. Containing information on more than 375 organizations, this directory is a valuable tool for libraries, civic groups, city governments and persons interested in pursuing the history of their own com­ munity. “This publication is also a resource for those people who are interested, but not yet involved with their local community’s historical efforts. We hope that they will use it to locate their local organization and then commit themselves to its sup­ port. Finally, for those readers who have moved, this directory might reintroduce them to their hometown society and thereby form a tangible link with their own past,” added Jones. The directory is $2.95 plus $2 postage and handling. It is also being offered free to anyone who joins the society. For information about the Directory and other Society publications and mem­ bership information, contact the HSM office, 2117 Washtenaw Ave., Ann Arbor MI 48104 or phone 313-769-1828. The Historical Society of Michigan is the only non-governmental, not-for-profit statewide organization working to pre­ serve and interpret Michigan’s heritage. It is supported by nearly 6,000 members and serves as the major clearinghouse of in­ formation for more than 275 local histori­ cal and preservation organizations in Michigan. S.S. Benefactors Should Review Yearly Earnings People in the Grand Rapids area who receive Social Security benefits, who also Vork, should take some time soon to re­ view their earnings for this year, the dist­ rict manager said recently. This review should be made, manager Robert Fleminger said, so people will know where they stand in relation to the annual earnings test. This test is the mea­ sure used to determine the amount of benefits that should be paid a working beneficiary. In general, a person is due all benefits for a year if his or her earnings do not exceed the annual exempt amount. For people under 65 all of 1981, the annual exempt amount is $4,080, and for people 65 and over any part of 1981, the amount is $5,500 Fleminger said. The general rule is that $1 in benefits is withheld for each $2 of earnings above the annual exempt amount. A person who expects his or her earnings to exceed the annual exempt amount should notify Social Security so that the appropriate amount of benefits can be withheld. This way, the person can avoid the possi­ bility of having to repay any incorrectly paid benefits. People should remember that gross wages, not take home pay, count for purpose of the annual earnings test. People who want more information should contact the Grand Rapids Social Security office. The people there will be glad to answer any questions. The office is located at 250 Monroe N.W. in the Calder Plaza Building, 456-2241.

As usual, the Middleville Covers played an active role in every phase of the program. The fair was “Free” this year, and to make the public more aware, the Barry County 4-H Council sponsored a contest. Different clubs around the county were asked to put a display in their community, advertising the fair. The Clovers entered a display in the bank lobby and the live­ stock members created a fair scene in Geukes’ window. The club received a second and third award for their efforts. Feather Thompson, Joyce Mesecar, Jerrie Fiala and Phyl Miner worked to- gether creating a “General Store” atmos phere for all the club’s projects at the fair. The special effects, plus the Heritage Association’s loan of their backdrop and display case helped us to win a 4th on the booth. The following 4-H members completed projects with the Clovers 4-H Club and received ribbons at the fair: Amanda Bae rm an.

The Trojans' opening game is with Delton on September 11, but that game may be in jeopardy unless funds can be found at Delton to begin the pro­ gram by next week. Thornapple Kellogg Schools will open this fall with a full com­ plement of extra curricular activities, thanks to the TK Boosters. In a special session of the TK School Board on Monday night, the Boosters reported they had $25,000 in cash and promissory notes to insure the funding of those activities that had been cut by the board. The August 17 deadline had been set by the Board with the stipulation that $22,000 must be pledged or on hand by that date. Jim Verlinde, spokesman for the Boosters, gave the report. A total of $3,400 in cash has been collected, the balance in promissory notes at the Hastings City Bank, he said. The Board approved only the activities that would normally be funded for the fall session of school. Earlier they had told the Boosters that a total of $55,000 will be needed to take care of the entire school year activities. Another meeting of the Boosters will take place Thursday night (tonight, August 20) at 7:30 p.m. in the TKHS auditorium. Dis­ cussions will take place on continuing efforts to raise additional cash.

Coffee will be provided. The regular meeting will follow the dinner. Hudsonville Earth Sheltered House Unique Home From the front, the earth sheltered home looks very much like any conventional modem home among the pines. “Earth sheltered homes,” “hightechnology” and “Earth Arch” were terms representatives of the press had to deal with last Thursday when a radically new home was opened by the owner. Located in a hillside southwest of Hudsonville, David and Melody Stearns’ residence is a unique structure that may just be the way Americans will be living in the future. For the young Steams couple (they are 27 years old) it is the future now. Stearns observed that the “Earth Arch may well be one answer to the fading American Dream of owning a home.” The Stearns have opened their house to the public every day except Sunday from noon to 9 p.m. There is a $2.50 admission charge to tour the house. The young couple, whose house is located 36 of a mile south of M-21 on 48th Avenue announced that this opening is in response to tremendous public interest in what appears to be a breakthrough in underground housing - a 2-story struc­ ture which has a 48-foot dear span with only five inches of concrete covered by four feet of earth. When the Stearns began to investigate alternative types of housing they did not dream that a private residence with 2400 square feet could contain a 21 -foot high li ving room ceiling and heat and cool for less than $85 a year. It is the energy Continued on Page 8 �Page 2 / August 20, 1961 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan LETTERS Parents of Kindergarteners Can Ease Tranistion to Class Parents of kindergarteners can help ease the transition from home to school by helping their youngsters become familiar with their new surroundings, says an MSU instructor in child and family ecology. Jeanne Brown encourages parents to explore the school with their child, to meet the teacher and locate the child’s classroom, the restroom and the play­ ground. And, says Brown, parents should be willing to talk to their child about any fears the child has about the Tint day of school. Visiting the school a few times before September helps a new kindergartener to adjust, says Brown. A child who walks to school should travel the route with a parent several times before making the trip alone. Brown suggests pointing out key buildings and landmarks to help the child learn the route. If a child is fearful of riding the school bus alone, parents in the communities where there is mass transit can also take their child on a bus ride-along the school bus route. The ride home from school is usually easier, so Brown suggests parents might drive a youngster to school, but let the child ride home on the school bus. After children make friends, the bus ride is not so intimidating, she says. And children who play together in neighbor­ hoods often ride the school bus together, making the transition even easier. For many kindergarteners, preschool helps ease the transition to school. Be­ tween 25 and 50 percent of all youngsters in Michigan reportedly have been to some type of preschool such as nursery school, day care or organized babysitting where they have learned some of the socialization graces such as waiting and sharing. Many other children’s first introduc­ tion to school is during assessment testing, sometimes done the spring before school starts. Brown warns against parents drilling their children in the areas they think might be assessed. “Each child is unique,” she points out. “It (the evaluation) must be based on what the child is like at this moment.” Parents know their children perhaps better than anyone else and therefore can play a valuable part in the student assess­ ment, Brown says. Parents should check with the school about the method of assessment and explain this to the child to relieve any anxiety. If the evaluations show cognitive abilities are acceptable but the parents believe the child needs more social and emotional growth, Brown encourages them to voice their concerns to school officials.

It preserves the natural colors, fresh flavors and nutritive value of most fruits and vegetables. The quality of the final product can vary with the fresness of the produce used, the method of preparation and packaging, and conditions of freez­ ing, so it’s important to become familiar with the process and to follow directions carefully. In areas with relatively low-cost electricity, energy costs may represent half the total cost of a frozen product. In urban areas where utility costs are high, the cost of running a home freezer for a year could wipe out any savings from gardening and preserving the food. Another way to make use of the abun­ dance of the season’s fruits is to make jams, jellies and preserves. These are also excellent ways to make use of fruit that is not well suited for canning or freezing the largest or smallest fruits and berries and those that are irregularly shaped. Good weather in Michigan has helped to produce plentiful crops this summer. Using fresh fruits and vegetables as quickly as possible after purchase or harvest, cooking them properly, and preserving prodrce while it is at its peak of quality can mean real advantages to the consumer.

VISITORS IN MIDDLEVILLE Editor’s Note: This newspaper does not speak for the merchants, of course, just as Mr. Johnson does not speak for all the people of the community. However, if Mr. Johnson finds it uncomfortable to obey the traffic laws of this community, his boycott of Middleville businessmen is one price we will have to pay for law and order. TK GIRLS BASKETBALL Take Advantage of Harvest For Quality and Savings By taking advantage of Michigan's abundant harvest of fruits and vegetables at its peak now, consumers can enjoy unparalleled quality and dollar savings. Jerry Cash, MSU Extension specialist in foods and nutrition, points out that all fresh fruits and vegetables are perishable. He advises buying them frequently and keeping them cool and dry to reduce the chance of spoilage and waste. One way to take advantage of the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables is to preserve them at home. Be aware, however, that home food preservation requires a great deal of time, energy and money. The cost of maintaining a freezer for several months may make storebought food just as economical, as well as less time consuming. On the other hand, the quality of home-frozen produce may be superior. The cost of quality in food is an important consideration, Cash notes. Two or three generations ago, home canning was a matter of family economics. Today, inflation and a “back to nature” trend have led many homemakers to look at home preservation of fruits and vegetables as a way to save money on food. In any type of home food preservation, certain procedures must be followed to insure quality and safety. Whether it be drying, canning or freezing, failing to follow proper procedures could result in spoiled food and increased food costs. Cash says, dried vegetables, which may lose much of their flavor as they dry, are best used in soups, casseroles, sauces, stuffing and stews. For most fruits and vegetables, drying doesn’t compare with the high quality of canning or freezing. The canning process involves heating the food hot enough and long enought o destroy spoilage organisms. This also stops the action of enzymes that may cause undesirable changes in the flavor, color and texture of the fruit or vegetable. Processing is done in either a boding Comments from our readers may be expressed in this column.

To young people who have lost hope of ever qualifying for a mortgage: “Earth sheltered housing is a benevolent sleeping giant in this country, and with the techno­ logical breakthrough of the Earth Arch, may be just the turnaround in affordable housing that the average person needs at this time.” Steams further noted, “If the estimated heating bills and the projected per square feet construction costs are accurate, then mortgage loan officers could find themselves qualifying thou­ sands of applicants they are currently turning down.” To the person who has been mildly interested in earth sheltered housing but who has mixed opinions: “For an earthsheltered house that heats and cools for less than $7 a month, most people would expect to make many sacrifices, perhaps even live in a structure that compares to a basement. This model completely ex­ plodes that myth, because it’s very hard to stand in this 21 -foot high living room and feel like you’re in a dark, damp basement.” To homeowners who’ve had their mortgage paid for ten years and feel too settled to make any changes: “For a long time the average American felt a home was his best hedge against inflation, but now sees his investment threatened by soaring energy costs. Imagine the com­ mon sense of this type home. When a conventional house is set next to an Earth Arch in 1990, the owner will be trying to sell a home that costs $3,000 more a year just to heat.” To architects, designers and contractors involved in the residential construction market: “This housing industry today is under the same pressure the auto industry has been experiencing over the last few years. In order to survive ” Steams pre­ dicted, “they will have to be creative because they’re not receiving federally guaranteed loans like some large corpora­ tions.” “The construction industry has already looked at earth-sheltered housing, but felt it was too expensive to build. The Earth Arch, designed by NOVA, a Grand Haven based architectural firm, is a crea­ tive departure from other earth-sheltered designs because instead of trying to bury a 3-bedroom ranch, this design makes a beautiful and comfortable house out of a fabricated tunnel. This simple logic has escaped designers for a long time.” Steams discussed other differences be­ tween his “Dream Home” and conven­ tional housing: “This structure has been compared to a super-insulated house,” he explained, “but the main difference between this house and conventional housing is that no matter how well or how innovatively conventional houses will be insulated, the homeowner will be adding or removing heat based on air temperature outside.” “Moving into the Earth Arch is like moving to an island where it’s always 56° because the earth maintains this tempera­ ture. In the summertime well have to warm the house from 56° to a comfort­ able temperature by opening a window. In the winter well capture a little sun­ shine. If the sun isn’t shining, well bake cookies.” Steams concluded: “With its 7 micro­ processors controlled by a main computer, a satellite receiver station, computercontrolled environmental chamber, and outside spa on a 12* x 70’ deck, this house is a futuristic look into creature comforts for adults and a semester’s worth of science for students.” From the ’backyard* the home is almost invisible. The center of the Hudsonville Earth Arch is a dr am tic 21 feet. This photo shows the lower living area and the upper balcony with the curved plexiglass ‘railing.’ This photo shows the end of the home and the garage opening. Check Out Solar Energy Companies First The solar energy inAistry, still in its infancy, promises to be a truly exciting market. But while the industry is very new - while some companies are forming and dissolving rapidly and others are forming and establishing themselves, how do you, the consumer, protect yourself? How does the solar energy buyer with minimal knowledge purchase the right solar product for his/her needs, the best product for the price, and enjoy peace of mind thereafter - security about warranties, repairs, etc; “First of all, the very best protection you have is your own knowledge,” said Cynthia Fridgen, MSU Extension housing and energy specialist. “The more solar education you have, the less likely that you will be taken advantage of. Having enough knowledge means reading about alternative energy systems, talking to folks who have them, talking to distribu­ tors and comparing claims made about products against your growing knowledge.” Most people do not have the time to become experts cm solar, wind or water power and others may not be inclined to do so, Fridgen admits. But, with a little effort, they can learn what questions to ask. Continue to ask salesmen questions until you are satisfied with the answers. Don’t be put off by technical jargon most solar systems can be cieariy ex­ plained in layman’s terms, Fridgen says. When dealing with any solar energy company, take some standard business precautions: - ask to see a business license and cer­ tificate of training, - ask for local references and check them out, - check with the Better Business Bureau or other consumer protection agency about the firm’s reliability, - do not buy through the mail or from door-to-door salesmen, - insist on a written contract with all guarantees cieariy spelled out. Warranties should be for one year on parts and labor and three yean on tanks and nonmoving parts. • be sure that your local building de­ partment will give you a permit to install the product. - check prices. If the product is reput­ able, chances are there is more than one distributor in Michigan. Call around and compare prices. - check on the availability of state and federal tax credits before you depend on them to reduce the cost of energy equip­ ment. Write to MSU Bulletin office, P.O. Box 231, East LansLig, 48824, and ask for Bulletin 1548, “Energy Tax Credits.” Occasionally, sales representa­ tives will ckim that tax credits are avail­ able on their product when actually they are not. - remember that if you sign a contract in your home for over $25, you legally have three business days to cancel that contract. At this point, you may be wondering whether you want to get involved with alternative energy systems. Solar energy can be one of the best investments you ever make, but because you’re buying an innovation, a piece of future tech­ nology, you need to be cautious. If you have made what you think is a bad purchase and you believe that fraud or misrepresentation is involved, you may call the office of the Attomy Gene­ ral, Consumers Protection Division, at 517-373-1140. After you explain what happenedjrou can get advice and arrange to fill out any forms that might be needed.

Monday I helped Elvis prepare and can 19 quarts of tomato juice. Wednesday I got a new permanent and feel better, as my hair was untidy. Hope to see you at Hazel McCauls at the potluck next Thursday, the 20th. Friday I went with Elvis to have her golf lesson with the pro, Ade Van Lear, of Grand River Golf Club. Mr. Van Lear paid a visit last Monday to Elvis’ learning class and thought other clubs should have classes like hers for women, as women have special problems. He said a woman called for two lessons in an emergency. He told her to take two asperin for the present. She took these lessons but no more. That’s emergency? When 1 came home Jo or John had been here and left me new libraby books. I wished I could have seen them. John and Joyce Jousma travelled to Racine, Wisconsin, this weekend to the Jim Johnson home. They brought home their little daugher, Bethany, who had been visiting. Donald and Dorothy were home the weekend as she had some cakes to bake.

Ask Yourself • “Should I Be a TK Booster Member?” BY A BOOSTER MEMBER If you answer yes to any of the follow­ ing questions then you should plan on being a Booster. Are you a student at the Thomapple Kellogg Middle School or High School, who hopes to participate in any of the Extra curricular activities such as the school play or musical, the marching or concert bands; school dances or the prom; yearbook staff or school paper. Student Council, the football, basketball, baseball, track, cross country, wrestling, volleyball, tennis or golf teams, or cheer­ leading? Are you a parent or a grandparent of a student who wants to be involved in the above? Are you an alumni who would like to see other kids have the same op­ portunities you had? Are you a parent of young children whom you hope will have the opportunities to be involved in the above activities when they get older? Or are you just a member of this community who really cares about the well rounded quality of education our young people re­ ceive? What kind of commitment, both money and time, is involved in becom­ ing a Booster? That’s up to the individual. Whatever that person feels he or she can do will be greatly appreciated. Whether it’s a donation of 50t. $1. $5, $10, $100, etc. If a person feds they don't have extra money to donate, maybe they could help take tickets for some sporting events, hdp sell or make popcorn, make signs advertising Booster events, etc. To repeat, we appreciate any help you can give. What are our immediate needs? We need participants in the Do-Da Parade. We’re hearing about adults who are plan­ ning on having some fun and being in this, but we’re not hearing about student involvement. Hey kids, all of these efforts are for you. All this money is being raised for your activities. This isn’t some­ thing we adults can do and just hand to you. We need you help, and especially your enthusiasm, or we’re just not going to make it. Be a Booster, ask how you can help; help plan and then work at these fund raisers. You can start by being in the parade. You can be anything you want and it doesn’t have to be all that elaborate. Just get your friends or team together, have some fun and feel good about helping a good cause . . . yourselves! For more information about the parade call Blanche Munjoy, 795-9509, or Phy 1 Miner 795-7444, or any other Booster. Remember, you have to register in ad­ vance. We recognize this is a big undertak­ ing, but with everyone working together, It will be a very successful endeavor. This isn’t the time to sit back and see what’s going to happen. We all have to make it happen! For more information on how to get involved or contribute, call Gary Thaler, 765-3821, or Sharon Schondelmayer, 795-3088. �Page 2 / August 27, 1981 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan LETTERS Comments from our readers may be expressed in this column.

To the Editor: In answer to a letter written by Don Johnson in last week's paper, I whole­ heartedly DISAGREE! I work in Middleville 5 days a week at the Thornapple Valley Animal Hospital. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t hear the squeal of brakes on Arlington Street. It seems that a lot of people, myself in­ cluded, disregard the speed limit going north out of town, or coming into town. Since the police have had radar in their cruiser, it has influenced me and a lot of others to slow down and pay attention to the speed limit. School will be starting soon again and children will be crossing the streets. I for one feel that having a radar equipped police cruiser is a definite asset in guard­ ing the safety of those children as well as our own. If Mr. Johnson and his family feel they can no longer shop in Middleville because of the “inconvenience” of police radar, I feel sorry for them because they will be missing out on the warm and Middleville Jaycee's STEAK FRY Friday, August 28 VFW Hall Downtown Middleville 8 oz.

For winter why don’t they put the sign out by Otto's so State Road gets plowed, salted like the city streets. I don't believe there was any informa­ tion in Sun & News as to extending city limits and new radar. In times like these it’s a shame to pay for traffic tickets. I’m not alone in my feelings. Thank you Donald W. Johnson Dear TK Boosters Sincerely. Carly Slagel The TK Girls Tennis Team is going to be in the Do-Da Parade. We don't know yet how we're going to dress, maybe just carry our rackets and balls, but we know we’re going to be in it and help support the Boosters. We’re also planning a car wash, the funds of which will be donated to the Boosters. We challenge all the band stu­ dents. the cheerleaders, and all of the sports teams to meet or beat our participa­ tion in the Do-Da Parade.

We hope our services are never needed, but a disaster team is required in all Red Cross Chapters since the Red Cross is mandated by the U. S. Government to provide shelter and provide immediate assistance caseworkers for immediate recovery teams. Another session will be held on Mon­ day. September 28. rounding out the course requirements. Within 30 days of this last session, a Mock Disaster will be ordered by the National Red Cross and we'll have to set up a shelter and provide care as required. We will have no warning • it could be at any time of the day or night. It is needed so we can see where our shortcomings are and become familiar with the shelter­ ing. Anyone interested in disaster training is asked to contact the Red Cross at 945-3122.

MI 49053 comp MAS - * IN MIDDLEVILLE THIS SATURDAY SHOW YOUR BOOSTER COLORS This Saturday is THE day - Do Da Day. that is! In an effort to raise money for the extracurricular programs that had been cut at TK school, the TK Boosters have set this Saturday a day of fun and money raising. It all gets started at 8 a m. at the VFW Hall downtown when the Boosters will be offering a pancake breakfast. The 'cakes, sausage, juice and coffee will be served until 11 a.m., and it’ll only cost $2.00, with children under 5 free. At 12:30 p.m., the DO DA parade gets underway from Calvin Hill Park Marching out to Grand Rapids Street and down the Main Street drag, the paraders will end up at the Middle School parking lot. This is a parade for anyone to shine. “Dress as you wish, push or pull what you wish, or ride in or on what you wish. Anything goes’!” says the Booster. There is an entry fee of $5.00 and prizes will be given out for the craziest entries. Some of the early entries in the parade include “The Flasher.” “Hen-Way Three.” “Snoo­ py and the Red Baron” “Fruit of the Loom Gang” and “King Bacon Fat and Queen Butter Patty from 1HOP ” There is also a Grand King and Queen “Ding-a-Ling” heading up the parade. There is plenty of room for more entries and a table will be set up at the park for anyone wishing to sign up on DoDaDay Radio Station WCUZ in Grand Rapids has made a “total” commitment of in­ volvement in the day, Booster spokesmen have reported. Disc jockeys from the sta­ tion will be participating in the parade (with all donations going to the Booster) and will then take on the Mighty Middle Villa softball team at Spring Park at 3:30. Beginning at 1:30 p.m. there will be all sorts of “fun and games” at the Spring Park. There will be a Kissing Booth manned by members of the football team, girls’ tennis and the WCUZ jockeys; a Dunk Tank filled with coaches, teachers and other personalities;a Dessert Booth; Hot dogs and cold drinks . Kiddie activi­ ties ;Speed Ball; a Car Smash; and a Home Run Hitting Contest. There will be a dollar donation to get into the park and all of the activities, of course, will carry a Booster price tag. All-in-all, it sounds like a busy, funfilled day. Plan on participating. HOME RUN CONTEST The Do Da Day Home Run Contest will be held at Spring Park following the WCUZ-Middlevilla softball game. Anyone can enter for the $2.00 fee and there will be trophies for first and second place. The contest will be divided into several rounds consisting of 8 pitches or 5 swings for each batter. After the completion of each round, up to one half if the partici­ pants will be eliminated, depending on the number of home runs hit by each. The elimination process will continue until a champion and runner up are de­ termined. You may use your own bat or one will be provided. It must be approved softball. You may use a pitcher of your choice, or one will be provided. Slowpitch only A home run is counted when the batter hits from within the batter's box and the ball cleans the outfield fence m fair territory without first touching the ground. The.Sun and News TWENTY CENTS PER COPY SEPTEMBER 3, 1981 • MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 111th YEAR * NUMBER 36 TK School Opens Tuesday Same Time, Closes Earlier School opens in Middleville on Tuesday and both the kids and parents will have some adjusting to do this year. The biggest adjustment will be the new hours of the day. In an effort to trim staff this year, the board has gone to the so-called “fivehour day.” This means the school will be­ gin at the usual 8:30 a.m. but will end an hour earlier in the afternoon - at 2:10 p.m. instead of 3:10 p.m. Gone will be the teacher “conference hours” during the school day; teachers will schedule these either before the regular 8:30 beginning or at the end of the day. Gone also will be the traditional “study halls” in the high school; kids may have to take books home and actually do “homework !” Scheduling of classes may be some­ what of a problem with fewer class offer­ ings. And, it will be straight classtime for the school day - with a brief time-out for lunch. The system will be offering the state mandated 900 hours of classroom instruction, but it will be just fulfilling that requirement. From the parent’ point of view, the earlier class dismissal will mean junior will arrive home an hour sooner than last school year. For working parents this may prove to be a problem Contrary to popular belief, the Com­ munity Education will function this year, although us fulltime director was elimi­ nated in the budget cut.

High school completion in the adult ed program will begin September 14 and will be taught from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m Monday through Thursday. The school lunch program will offer meals and milk every school day with elementary meals at 60tf per day or $2.75 per week. Middle and high school lunches will be 70^ per day, or $3.25 per week.

About this time of year I always fed a little like the child who saved the frosting on his cake until last only to discover that some­ one else had eaten it before he could get to it. I look forward to summer all year, and it goes so fast I find myself a little bewildered that it has gone before I’ve had time to really enjoy it! The “take time to smell the roses along the way" philosophy is a great idea - if I could only figure out how to do it. There is so much to be done in Michi­ gan’s short summers. We can hardly wait to get seeds and plants started in the spring, and once having started plants growing, taking care of them becomes a responsibility - watering, fertilizing, spraying, etc. Then when our efforts are rewarded with flowers, fruits and vege­ tables, we’re hard pressed to use them all. Sometimes I’m tempted to just forget about canning the tomatoes or freezing the com, but then it surely is nice to just reach up on the pantry shelf or into the freezer and enjoy the benefits of summer’s efforts. The increasing cost of groceries makes it even more imperative that we preserve as much of nature's bounty as we possibly can. When I think of the time and effort the pioneer women put into stocking up and storing enough food to carry their families through the winter, and the facilities - or lack of ■ with which they worked. I fed a little ashamed of com­ plaining about the time it takes now. Some people have a real talent for “making something out of nothing,” or perhaps I should say making the most out of everything, wasting nothing. This recipe, which came from one of my mother's neighbors, uses extra large cucumbers, the ones that really are too big for anything else. The result is a pickle that looks and tastes a lot like apple rings, except that these are crisper. And they’re really pretty, too, especially for Christmas. CINNAMON RINGS ( 4 days to make ) Extra large cucumbers - peel and slice into rounds. Remove seeds from slices. 7 lbs. prepared slices. Soak overnight in 1 cup lime to 1 gallon water, or enough to cover. Next day, drain (DO NOT pour lime down drain) rinse well and soak 4 hours in cold water. Mix: 1 cup vinegar 1 tablespoon alum 1 large bottle red food coloring and enough water to cover cucumbers Simmer 2 hours. Pour off solution and discard. Mix: 4 cups vinegar 12 cups sugar 16 sticks cinnamon 2 pkgs. Red Hots cinnamon candies 4 cups water Bring to a boil and let candies melt. Poor over slices and let stand overnight. Repeat next day. Let stand 1 more night. Next day reheat syrup once more. Pour over slices. Put in jars and seal.

Business by Telephone People living in the Grand Rapids area can save time, money and gasoline by using “teleservice” when they have busi­ ness with Social Security. Robert Flemin ger. Social Security District Manager in Grand Rapids said recently. Now Social Security has started taking applications for retirement and survivors benefits by telephone. Here’s how it is done. A Social Security employee will fill out the application for you on the phone. The application will then be mailed to you for you to review, sign and return to Social Security by mail. You can mail the required personal records into the Social Security office. They will be copied and returned to you promptly. “Our teleclaims unit is ready and willing to take applications for retirement or survivors benefits,” Fleminger said. At present applications for disability benefits and supplemental security income cannot be done by phone. To apply by phone, call 616-456-2684 Persons outside of Grand Rapids can call collect “station to station.” If possible a representative will complete the claim right away. Otherside arrangements will be made to call you back. Persons wanting general information or calling about other Social Security matters should continue to call the general infor­ mation number. 456-2241. he said. “I feel our new teleclaims unit makes good sense,” Fleminger said. “With gas and parking prices high and time valuable, filing your claim by phone will be simpler for you.” It's Coming!

August 19. the grand­ stand of the Lowell Fair Grounds pro­ vided an appropriate setting for the friends of the John Taisma family to give them a farewell gift The gift idea - a friendship quilt - be­ gan as an expression of appreciation from the Kettle Lake 4-H Club. But as the idea was shared, enthusiasm for the project grew. Obligingly. Deana Humphrey. Ar­ lene Walma and Jackie Speck broadened their plans to include all who wished to de­ sign a square for a friendship quilt. A 15 inch square of white cloth was provided for interested individuals, fami­ lies or groups. “We told them,” says Deana Humphrey, “you may put any de­ sign on it in any way that you wish They did just that. Each finished square tells a story. Each one is different. When we started we wondered if we would have enough for one quilt, but we finished with enough for two.” Green and white, the 4-H colors, provide the colorful background for the 30 individual squares of the king-size quilt. The Caledonia school colors offset (he 15 squares of the twin-size quilt. 120 family names are identified on The Taisma Family John. Craig, Pam. Pat. Kurt and Valerie Back to School Sale these quilts. Representing Kettle Lake 4-H Club. St. Pauls Lutheran Church groups. Southkent Veterinary Clinic, Caledonia School activities and neighborhood gatherings, each colorful square indicates a distinct association. Some squares present a religious theme, some mysterious, some humorous: toge­ ther they tell a story of the 20 eventful years that John and Pat Taisma lived in Caledonia. ‘The amazing thing is.” says Pat. “that with all this happening, we were not aware of it. Kurt actually saw one of the squares but didn't catch on. Words to thank don't come easily.” Holding her crossed hands to her chest, she adds. T feel so much inside that can't be expressed. As we leave, no one will be forgotten. There will be i distance between us, but we'll never forget them ” The 'two warm reminders' of friend ship accompany the Talsmas as they move to Bruce Crossing.

Main Street Caledonia, Mi. 49316- 891 8117 ________ �Page 6 / September 3, 1981 / The Sun and Newt, Middleville, Michigan Trojans Rebuilding With New Faces, New Head Coach After two consecutive years as a quali­ fier in the state playoffs. Middleville is certainly in line for a rebuilding year. Gone from last season’s team are All­ State performers Monte Munjoy and Brian Oosterhouse and numerous All-Conference players. In all, eighteen of the twenty starters from the 1980 team were lost to graduation. However, that loss seems minimal compared to the losses suffered by the coaching staff. Coaches Robert White and Gerald Page, who led the Tro­ jans to an incredible record of 140 wins, 27 losses, and six ties, have retired from coaching. Taking over at the helm will be long­ time assistant Ray Page. Ray has served under Coach White and Coach Page for a total of fifteen yean. Keith Rhines will also coach the varsity squad, leaving 12 year assistant Gary McKee with the head JV job. McKee will have the help of head basketball coach Ray Pranger. Running the freshmen program will be Tom Leh­ man and former Middleville standout Doug Ybema. The Trojans will rely on 11 returning lettermen in their quest to repeat as league champions. The two returning starters for Coach Page are defensive tackle Todd Sloan and linebacker Harvey Lapierre. Senior running backs Clyde Lewis arrid Mike Browne have a year of varsity ex­ perience under their belts and will be heavily depended upon by the team, as will nose guard Mike Dugan, offensive guards Craig Bell and Jamie Schierbeek. defensive halfbacks Dave Sensiba and John Lyons,and Mark DeYoung, a tight end who has switched* to center. Coach page is expecting alot from seniors Brad Stahl. Marty Boysen and Steve Scott, who each return to the team after taking a year off. Steve will be the quarterback foi Middleville, and his com­ petitive nature should prove to be a very valuable asset. Juniors will be expected to fill many key positions and to back up seniors at many others. Fighting for starting posi­ tions are: Ends Tony Doornbos. Phil Teater and Brian Willshire Tackles. Scott Harns. Bill Perry and Wes Rosenberg Guards; Ed Wilson. Doug Van Dy ken and Jon DeForest: Center. DougCisler. Nose guard Bob Goodenough and Backs: Tim Lukas and Jim Verlinder. Junior line­ backer Rob Boshears and junior flanker Dave VanSickle will hopefully be two of the many underclassmen standouts. Sophomore lineman Scott Noffke and sophomore running back Tom Berry are working out with the varsity and hope to make the varsity team this fall. Hudsonville Pre-Season Grid Pick In contrast to recent years, the OK Blue Conference is wide open with many teams capable of winning the title. Hudsonville, who has finished second to Middleville the last two seasons, has to be considered the preseason favorite. The Eagles will receive plenty of competition from Kelloggsville, Caledonia and Middleville, who all will be hoping to pull off an upset. Comstock Park. Byron Center and Hamilton all have a legitimate shot at the title, but each school graduated their starting quarterback Lee, which is in the NUMBERS IN THE BACKFIELD for the Trojans this fall will be David VanSickle rebuilding stage, is still at least a year (10) quarterback, a junior and seniors Steve Scott (18) quarterback. Clyde Lewis (42) away from being a contender but hopes to halfback and Mike Browne (33) halfback. pull out a few victories this season. With no truly dominant teams, the Blue should liave a very interesting season TK Coaching Varsity filled with upsets. The team escaping in­ juries will probably emerge the victor.

These are the teams that have definitely met our challenge: The varsit football team; the wrestling team, by virtue of the fact that most of them also play foot­ ball; the band, varsity cheerleaders; golf cross-country track and varsity basket­ ball Rumor has it that these teams are also trying to get together: girls basketball, both varsity and JV. the JV and Fresh­ man cheerleaders, the baseball team, the JV and fresliman football team; the JV and fresliman boys basketball and the flag girls It has been difficult for the coaches or sponsors to get the kids from some of these activities together especially the spring sports. But many of them have overlapping activities, so it’s working out pretty well. Also, if you’re a band student either Jr. or Sr. High and have not yet been con­ tacted. it’s not because we don’t want you. TWO RETURNING lettermen Coach Ray Page (center) is expecting much from this season are Trojan seniors Todd Sloan (78) a 220 lb. tackle and Harvey LaPierre (30) linebacker and halfback. it's because about six of the calling parents lost their list. So if you’d like to be in the parade, call Mr. Nash and let him know. We need you. Student response has been great! Thankskids! We knew we could count on your help when we really needed it.

Rob-Len Farms, Geukes Market. Middle Mart. Thomapple Kitchen. Hen-Way Farms. MiddieVilla, Fish in- The, Sun and Neius Here are a few hints that can make the chore of painting your house a lit tie easier . . and allow you to have the satisfaction of doing a good job yourself, while saving money for more necessary —or enjoyable —activities Before you begin, here are some suggestions to help you estimate just how much paint to buy for a given house painting job: (1) Compute the number of square feet of surface to be covered To do so. determine the distance around the house, tn feet, then find the aver­ age height to the eaves and add two feet to that figure. (This will allow for the paint you'll need for the gables ) Last, multiply the former result by the latter 12) Ask your paint dealer approximately how many square feet each gallon of undercoat will cover, then divide the to­ tal area of the house by this figure. (3) Finally, learn how much area a gallon of topcoat house paint will cov­ er and compute how much of that you 11 need Here s an example: I^t's say your home is 20‘ by 40 with an average height to the eaves of 13 By multiplying 120* (the perimeter) by 15' (the average height to the eaves plus 21 you’ll find that the surface area is about 1.800 square feet A good grade of undercoat or primer should cover about 350 square feet per gallon, and a top-quality house paint covers 400 square feet per gal­ lon A little simple arithmetic reveals that 5 gallons of undercoat and 4-1/2 of house paint should do the job. The first portion of your house painting task is sur­ face preparation, which usually involves scraping, sanding, and caulking . with maybe a bit of priming here and there. It'll take about half a day for the average home. Begin by hosing down the exterior surfaces, then scrape any peeling, cracked, or chipped spots (Areas which are taken down to the bare wood should get a coat of primer.) Finally, replace any loose or missing putty around windows, and recaulk the window frames, doors, and chimneys as needed. The second part of the chore is painting the trim and windows. The trim is usually easy, unless you've got an old house with overhanging eaves (wear a hat for this job). If you use care when painting the windows, you'll save time in the long run, because you won't have to scrape the panes later on. Then comes the main body of the house which is the easiest part, because you can use a wide brush and make long strokes. For large, smooth areas you can try painting with an industrial roller. It holds a lot of paint and, in most cases, will cover as well as a brush . . but do so much more quickly. Don't forget drying time .. . allow at least 48 hours between coats. The final task is to clean up the yard area by gather­ ing stray paint chips, old caulking, and putty, and throwing them away. (Do a good job . scraps of old paint can be ingested by children and cause lead poi­ soning.) Once you’ve finished, you can sit back and re­ lax. knowing you've done a thorough job and hedged yourself against inflation one more time!

Set Missionary Conference At Leighton This Weekend The Leighton United Methodist Church will hold its Second Annual Missionary Conference on Saturday and Sunday. September 12-13. The theme of the con­ ference. “So Send I You," is a reminder that every Christian is called of God to be involved in the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ around the world. The primary speaker of the Conference will be Dr. J. T. Scmands, professor of Christian Missions at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Ky. Dr. Seamonds grew up in India as the son of missionary parents. Later, after receiving degrees from Asbury College, Asbury Theological Seminary and the University of Kentucky, he returned to India as a missionary under the Methodist Church. Following twenty years of missionary service, Dr. Seamands accepted the position he now holds at Asbury. Over the years, he has traveled over half a million miles in missionary work, and has preached in over fifty dif­ ferent countries. Also participating in the weekend will be Rev. Dick Barker, who is presently the pastor of the Wayland United Metho­ dist Church. Rev. Barker served for a number of years as a missionary in Japan. He will lead the Men’s Prayer Breakfast. The conference will begin with a Men’s Breakfast to be held at the Wagon Wheel Restaurant in Caledonia beginning at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday. On Saturday evening there will be a 7:00 p.m. potluck dinner at the church followed by the evening service at 8:00 pm. Members of the congregation who participated in missionary work crusades during the past year will share their experiences, and Dr. Seamands will speak. On Sunday morning will come a high­ light of the conference when, at the con­ clusion of the 10:00 a m. worship service, the congregation will make “Faith Pro­ mises” for missions for the coming year. Last year’s Faith Promises have brought in over $ 10.000 for missions, and an even greater amount is anticipated this year. The Conference will end with a special youth service at 7:00 p.m. Sunday. A musical group from Berrien Springs will present a special program, and Dr. Sea­ mands will bring the closing message. Members of the community are cor­ dially invited to share in the events of this conference. The Leighton Church is located on the corner of 142nd Avenue and 2nd Street, about 5 miles west of Middleville.

Barry County Historical Society Appoints ^ew tJjjicer Barbara B. Furrow of Hastings was appointed Vice President of the society by the board of directors of the Barry County Historical Society at the board s annual summer meeting. She will also serve as program committee chairman for the remainder of the Society’s year ending June, 1982. Mrs. Furrow has been active in Society projects for several years. Her two sons, Andy and Scott, though of grade school age, are avid members and attend every meeting. The first meeting of the Society s year will be held at Bowens Mill, two miles north of Yankee Springs State Park En­ trance off Bnggs Road on Thursday, September 17, 7:30 pjn Because the meeting place is private property and by invitation to the Society’s members, only members will be admitted. However, Ernie Appelman. membership chairman, will have membership applications avail­ able at the door. In other business the board directed the contribution of $225 from the Society’s historical markers trust fund be paid for each metal marker to be erected on the sites of the Carlton Township Hall and of the Putnam Library in Nashville. These sites have been designated by the Michigan Historical Commission in the past year. The board authorized the president, Judge Richard Lougjirin, to call a meeting of the public for the purpose soliciting ways and means to preserve the Striker House. Doug and Kathy McLeod, former tenants, moved to a southern state in June after restoring several rooms in the house and embarking on the exterior pre­ servation. Community persons are explor­ ing possible commercial use of the build­ ing with individual shops, such as an antique store, rare book store, and art gallery. The Society has taken a leader­ ship role in preservation efforts and recently received the completed feasibility study report made by an architectural firm. The board expressed the Society’s interest in participating at future dedica­ tory ceremonies of the Barry County Courthouse In August the courthouse was entered in the National Register of Historic Preservation upon nomination by the Michigan History Division of the Department of State and confirmation by the State Historic Preservation Review Board as a site of outstanding historical and architectural significance. The fornial acceptance by the Heritage conservation and Recreation Service, Department of the Interior, was made in August. The Society contribution to Hastings' Summerfest was the sale of china plates with a 1900 photograph of the county courthouse. The board approved the pur­ chase and sale of future limited editions of china plates with other illustrations of Barry County history. Agnes Smith chairs this committee. Expenditure of funds for the reproduc­ tion and permanent binding of published articles on Nashville was approved by the board. Sue Hinckley’s articles “ Memo­ ries of the Past” will be collected and bound in two volumes to be given to Nashville’s Putnam Library and to Hast­ ings Public Library.

W A, «k ITHE MOTHER EARTH XEWSJ Honor Workers The Barry County Red Cross wishes to thank the many volunteers from Delton, Middleville, Nashville.

People frequently pride themselves as accurate weather predictors And some folks, especially sailors, have been practicing this art. out of reach of radio and TV' forecasters, for a very long time Here are a few “quaint'' weather sayings (many of which turned out to be true when put to the test by modern technology! that may help you plan your outings or your garden work in the future: • If there’s dew on the grass, there's a good day ahead. A dry morning means rain. • Look for a trawler with a smokestack. If its smoke rises straight into the air. there will be good weather. If the smoky stream curls downward, a storm is brewing. • Watch the local seabirds. If they're roosting, it's be­ cause thinning air (the sign of an imminent squall) is harder for them to fly in. • “Red sky at morning, sailors take warning. . . red sky at night, sailors delight '. • A morning rainbow is a sign of rain. Insects swarm and seem more annoying during the drop in pressure that precedes rain or a storm. Bees stay doser to their hives Ants get unusually busy and scurry about, moving their eggs from place to place. Animals become restless, uneasy, and more active and noisy. Conversely, when atmospheric pressure rises, fish become more active and swim nearer the surface (it's a good tune to go angling!. During the winter, the ice on frozen ponds and lakes will begin to crack and boom during periods of rising pressure People seem happier and friendlier Birds fly higher during high pressure (fair sky) weather and lower prior to a storm. The old saying that a halo around the moon or sun is a frequent portent of rain or snow is true Such a circle is formed (actually, in our own eyes! when we look at some of the moon s or sun's rays as they're reflected through the frozen crystals of moisture m thin, high cirrostratus clouds These clouds generally move 12 to 16 hours ahead of broad, moisture-laden warm fronts, which usually bathe wide tracts of land in slow, steady precipitation as they sweep across the continent To make a “never fail weather barometer, old-tim­ ers in the upper Midwest find themselves a balsam fir tree. They cut from that tree a chunk of small branch, which has a 16- to 18-inch-long twig growing out of it. “Trim and scrape the bark away from the whole as­ sembly.” one of the old backwoodsmen told us. "and drill a little hole in the top end of the short main sec­ tion. Then tack the indicator to the wall of your garage or corncrib so that the long twig points up. It'll stay that way during fair weather but. just before and during a storm, it 'll point down.''

The mill, originally built about 1850 as a saw mill, was converted to a grist mill about 1864. The quality of its buckwheat flour was noted throughout western Michigan. In 1902 a cider press was added and was used to the 1940’s when the mill closed down, burdette Briggs sold the original press to Neil Engel and in the early days farmers wagons were lined up for the apple press. The press was capable of pressing 38 bushels of apples at one time, making 100 gallons of cider. Refreshments of cider and donuts will be served by the refreshment committee, Eileen Oehler and Charlotte Heath, following the tour and stories of the mill and a short business meeting. Because the tour is on private property and the invitation was made to the society, membership will be required for entrance. However, Ernie Appelman, Membership Chairman, has promised to sign up new members at the door. The society year is September through June and dues are $3. per year. ED BAKER, D.D.S.

Caledonia had problems holding on to the football as they lost 5 fumbles and had 3 passes intercepted. The fumble that really fyurt the Fighting Scots was on their own 4 yard line. Wayland scored its only touch­ down 2 plays later . Caledonia was inside Wayland’s 20 yard line three times, once with a first and goal inside the 10, but fumbled away opportunities all three times Caledonia’s defense led by Fred Zylstra, Paul Stuefen, Mark Batchelor and Dave Harmsen held the Wildcat offense in check all night long. Wayland attempted 10 passes completed none and two were picked off by Mike Mitchell of Caledonia. Caledonia's punting game looked good as Rob Koehl punted 4 times for an average of 39.8 yards. The Fighting Scots offense could only pick up 63 yards in 32 attempts in the rushing column. These yards were equally divided between Kevin Kelly and Rob Koehl. In the passing department. Doug Wilson attempted 17 passes, completed 6 for 71 yards and had 2 picked off by the Wildcat secondary. Mike Mitchell and Brad Harrison were Caledonia's leading receivers with 4 and 2 respectively. This week Caledonia will face on of the pre-season favorites in the OK Blue. Kelloggsville. who lost last week to a very tough Coopersville team. Caledonia's main task this week is to get their offense going. Runners Split Double Dual The Caledonia Fighting Scot Cross Country team put forth another strong team effort as they slipped by the Ionia Vikings 28-30 and were narrowly defeated by the Lowell Red Arrows by the score of 29-30 in a double dual meet on Wed­ nesday, Sept. 9 at Caledonia Lakeside Park. In the Lowell meet, the Red Arrow runners captured Tint, second and third to automatically win the meet, but the Scots showed excellent team depth by taking the next 13 places in the race with Dave Rackow, Todd Taylor, Tim Holliday, Mike Timmers, Scott Cherpes, Mark Ladiousier and Rob Durkee all having good times. In the Scots’ 28-30 victory over Ionia, the man factor was definitely team depth again as Ionia’s 4th man was pushed back to I Oth place and their 5th man finished a distant 18th.

Mr. Richard DeVos, a board member of the U5. Council for the IYDP, addressed the picnic telling the disabled “TU see a lot of big-wigs this week.

TheSun and News At the September 3, 1981 meeting of the Barry County Solid Waste Commit­ tee, held in Middleville Village Hall, the impending legislative action on the Ad­ ministrative Rules for P.A. 641 was the major topic of discussion. The commit­ tee discussed the presentation Rod Mosher, a D.N.R. representative, gave at their previous meeting and V. Harry Adrounie gave a report on the final public hearing on the rules which he had attended. After some discussion, it was the concensus of the Committee that despite some small technical problems in the rules as they stand now. they are still preferable to the vacuum that presently exists. To formalize this decision, a letter encouraging the legis­ lature to adopt the rules is to be drafted and submitted to the Board of Commis­ sioners for their approval. In other business. Chairman Adrounie took the opportunity to comment on the small public turn­ out at the meeting. This is the first of a series of meetings to be held at various locations around the County, designed to give the public maximum opportunity to be heard on the future of solid waste planning in the County. Mr. Adrounie panted out that “while this Committee does not exist to con­ sider past or present solid waste pro­ blems. its actions will have a consider­ able impact on County residents in the future. Public input is needed now to be included in the Plan. After the plan is completed, those who have not be­ come involved in the planning process will have little grounds for complaints”. In a related issue, invitations from Prairie­ ville and Yankee Springs Townships were considered and the Committee voted to hold their October 1 meeting at Prairieville. Treasurer, Sylvia Dulaney re­ ported that she was awaiting $3,000 in a reimbursement from the D.N.R. which was submitted in May and another of $2m 750 in expenses was submitted in August. Committee work on the Plan is progressing well and two sub-commit­ tees were appointed to work on special­ ized areas of the Plan. Ken Niel will chair a committee to develop tech­ nical sections and Jim Gordon will head a group looking into management problems. The meeting closed with two announcements. Barb Furrow reported that the Southcentral Michigan Planning Commission will be sponsoring a work­ shop on “Energy* from Waste” on October 31. and those wishing more information should contact her Robert Henry announced that he is nearly ready to open a recycling center in Irving and will present details at the Commit­ tee’s next meeting.

Sometimes the first win is the hardest. We are certainly happy to have this win under our belt. One thing that you always look for in coaching is improvement and we felt that we did play a better game. This week our offense was much better. It’s a big advantage to take the opening kick-off and drive down and score. It gave the whole team a psychological edge. We felt we could run on Byron Center, but we did plan on throwing a lot more. The field position and the score never seemed to give us the oppor­ tunity. I thought we were never going to score that second touchdown. The first time the official changed his “mind”; I lost my case! As someone said, “It’s a good thing you are not a lawyer’’. I did, however, win my second case, when 1 finally convinced them that pass inter­ ference was an automatic first down. At least two Middleville defensive players brought down Byron Center’s quarterback. Maybe next week I should wear a Scott Allan (32) on this attempt to get around left end. It didn’t work, and he lost striped shirt! I’ve watched a few foot­ two yards on the play. Middleville won the contest, 22-6. ball games in my time, but that is the first time I have ever seen anyone punt the ball off the ground as Byron Center did in the last quarter. The officials should have called that an illegal kick, but I guess they just missed it. 1 thought our defense did a good job most of the game. Byron Center has a fine young quarterback in Soph­ omore Scott Allan. This week could be our big game of the season-Hudson­ ville. They have to be rated the best team in the league. We hope we cen give them a few surprises. We’d like to see you there as we can certainly use the support Bob Vandenberg established two Sandy Irwin finished 13th in the Middle­ for this one. course records this past week.

MIDDLEVILLE SPORTS Vandenberg Establishes Two Cross Country Records TK Athletic Admissions Set by League Boy's Golf Girl's Basketball HAIR CUTTING and STYLMG CUT & CURL SALON by Jim T. Verlinde Middleville opened their OK Blue League season last Friday, avenging the previous week’s loss. The Trojan off­ ense fashioned quite a rushing attack in the 22-6 win over the Byron Center Bull­ dogs. Clyde Lewis struggled three yards for a TD in the first quarter to put the Trojans on the top with a lead they never gave up. Lewis managed another three yards for the two-point conversion. The second quarter was Middle­ ville’s most productive. The Trojan back field combined for 86 rushing yards and one touchdown. Lewis crossed the goal line for the six-pointer and Mike Brown scampered in for the conversion. The TK Varsity led at halftime by a score of 16-0. Byron Center outrushed Middle­ ville in the third quarter but failed to score until well into the fourth, when Lynn McGuire scored from the Trojan five yard line. The conversion attempt failed. The Trojans scored soon after on another Clyde Lewis carry, but they failed to collect the extra points. Only seconds remained on the clock, and Middleville was on its way to an OK Blue victory. The Bulldogs had a rough night. Quarterback Scott Allan was the lead­ ing rusher with 39 of Byron Center’s 96 yards. Seventy -eight penalty yards were a major setback for the Bulldog cause. A strong Trojan ground attack picked up 199 yards as Mike Brown and Clyde Lewis carried for 110 and 81 yards respectively. Quarterback Steve Scott connected on two of four passes for 20 yards. Middleville’s “Orange Crush” de­ fense shined once again, holding the Bulldog quarterbacks to three com­ pletions in 1 2 attempts. The Trojans came on strong in the final quarter, stopping Byron Center to a negative five yards rushing. Linebacker Harvey LaPierre, end John Lyons, and line­ man Mike Dugan turned in impressive performances with LaPierre collecting a team-leading total of 13 tackles. Tommorrow, the TK Varsity will host the always tough Hudsonville Eagles. Junior Varsity Shuts Out Byron Center by Jim T. Verlinde The Junior Varsity Trojans began their league games last Thursday, shutting out the Bulldogs of Byron Center 32-0. Offense and defense combined superb efforts for the win. Middleville could not score in the first quarter, despite many opportunities, but the Trojans discovered paydirt in the second quarter on a 4-yard run by Scott Kaminski. Quarterback Chris Wingcier connected on a pass to Robb Pickard for the two-point conversion. Middleville went into the halftime with a lead of 8-0, holding Byron Cen­ ter to seven rushing yards in the first two quarters. The Trojans crossed the goal line four times in the last half but could not convert the PAT”s. Monty San­ ford scored in the third quarter on a 24-yard run and again later, catching a Wingeier pass for a 60-yard TD. Kaminski ran for six points in the last quarter as did Ron Smith in the closing minutes. The Trojan offense performed well in the rushing department. Ka­ minski led the backs with 94 yartft. Sanford and Smith combined for an­ other 91 Middleville’s defense held the Bulldogs to 23 yards rushing. Line­ backer Adam Wegner, noseman Jim Gonzales, and halfback Terry Sensiba turned in outstanding performan­ ces. Wegner recovered a nimble and intercepted a pass. Tonight, the TK Junior Varsity will play the Eagles of Hudsonville at Hudsonville. �The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan / September 24, 1981 / Page 7 Runners Bring Home Honors Scots Stopped by Rockets Middleville Invitational The Fitting Scot Cros* Country team returned home with their first trophy of the 1981 season as they finished in second place on September 16th in the second annual Middleville Invitational.

JV’s Fall in Close Encounter by Paul Stuefen The Caledonia JV football team lost a very close 12-6 contest last Thursday at Kelloggsville. The first half ended at a dead­ lock, as both teams were playing great defense. The Rockets had one good scoring drive just before the half only to be halted by a Tim Dobson inter­ ception at the Caledonia 32 yard line. The second half opened with Caledonia's Eric Haglund taking the ball of tackle 65 yards for the touch­ down. The extra point attempt failed as Haglund was stopped just short of the goal line. With Caledonia leading 6-0 with only a few minutes left in the third, the Rockets capped off a nice drive with Dale Worth taking the ball over from 24 yards out. The extra point attempt failed for the Rockets. With the game even at 6 apiece, Caledonia turned the ball over on an interception and the Rockets capi­ talized on a 14 yard run with only minutes left in the game. The Scot’s made a good effort to tie it up. but time ran out. Caledonia got a good perfromance out of Haglund who carried 11 times for 88 yards, 65 of them coming on his third quarter touchdown jaunt. Leading the team in tackles on defense were Brian Kidder with 12 and Mike Crumback with 11. The Scots will host Lee this Thursday looking for their first win. 1981 CALEDONIA TENNIS TOURNAMENT Bob Simkins, Tournament Director for the 1981 Caledonia Tennis Tour­ nament, has announced plans for this year’s annual event.

Middle School Counselor School phones 795-3349 or 795-3340 “Helping Yourself to Mental Health” More is known about environ­ mental factors as the cause of mental disorders than other factors like: biochemical factors, hereditary and genetic influences, and how people view themselves. A good environment is one in which the'people can feel self esteem. They need to fed respected, important in the scheme of things, valued at home, on the job, at school, and at play. People whose environ­ ment fosters their self esteem get along well with most other people. People who lack it may become harsh in judging others, come to hate themsdves, and project their hostility upon other people. It is sometimes advisable to change the environment. This is sometimes the reason for the statement, “You need a change of scenery.” There are a number of simple steps that can help in keeping and achieving good mental health. They actually are ways of making life run more smoothly and easily as well. When people relax, so can others around them. When they are coopera­ tive and outgoing, they stimulate the co-operative spirit in others. On the other hand, when people are fearful and tense, they bring forth a defen­ sive reaction from others. Here are some suggestions: 1. Help others 2. Don’t overreact-“Use the Easy Does It Approach” 3. Handle anger 4. Don’t brood 5. Proceed one step at a time More on these five points next week.

Admission is free. The Leighton United Methodist Church will hold a Homecoming Service on Sun­ day . October 11. The event has been plan­ ned in order to honor and recognize all those persons who have gone out from the church into some kind of full time Christian service. Plans for the service began last winter during a discussion about when the church would recognize a form­ er member who was recently ordained an elder in the West Michigan Conference of the United Methodist Church. It was de­ cided then to hold a special service, at which time all those who had gone out from the church into Christian ministries would be recognized. Making a list of those persons has been a considerable undertaking. Even though the Leighton congregation is a “small” church of just over 200 members, there have been approximately 25 persons over the years who have entered cither the or­ dained ministry or who have gone into some other Christian ministry. Many of these persons will be in attendance at the Homecoming Celebration. The Homecoming events will include a 6:00 p.m. potluck dinner in the church’s Parish Hall, followed by a 7:00 p.m. service in the sanctuary. During the ser­ vice, all those former members now in Christian service who are able to return will share briefly about their present ministries. In addition, several who will not be able to attend are sending taped messages and slides, which will be pre­ sented to the congregation during the same service. A highlight of the evening will be the presentation of two new plaques, one bearing the names of the ten men who have gone from Leighton into the ordained ministry, and the other bearing the names of persons involved in other Christian ministries. Both plaques will have ample space for many additions in the years ahead. The members of the Leighton Church wish to extend a warm invitation to all of our friends in the community to join us in our Homecoming Celebration on Sunday, October 11.

It was just that twist of Susan’s novel that brought it to the editor’s attent ion. The novel tells of a beautiful woman in the early 19th century England who plans to wed a man chosen by her step­ mother, the wife of her ill father. When she accidentally witnesses her mother and fiance together in more than just a tete-a-tete, she is so shocked she tumbles down a flight of steps and is temporarily blinded. Finally, the herone marries another dynamic guy and they head for Point Pelee on Lake Ene in Canada. Susan said she had visited the site many times and loved it. There are more adventures in Canada for the book’s characters, all drawn from Susan’s travels there.

To the Editor; Monday evening, September 21,1 attended the travelog at the Middleville High School sponsored by the Lions Oub. The pictures were superb and the illustrat­ or did a wonderful job of explaining and describing each scene. I came home with the feeling that I had been to France and the Riviera. However, I was thoroughly disappoint­ ed to see such a small crowd. What has happened to the community spirit in Middleville? When you realize all the good the Lions Club does for the community, it seems that you would support them in any of their projects. After all, where else can you go for an evening’s entertainment for only $2.50. Granted, the weather was not very cooperative that evening, but wonder if the weather keeps you from your bowling, bingo or movie dates. Also, there were very few students in attendance, and as these travelogs are educational, I recommend they be seen by any history student. Come on, folks. Let’s get behind our Lions club and give them some support.

Kent Intermediate School District.'The first phase of the three-part program, an intensive two-day study of local govern­ ment involving nearly 1000 students, will take place on October 28 and 29 in various locations throughout the county. In February, an expected 900 students will travel to Lansing for a e one-day “Close-Up” look at state govern­ ment. During that day students will have the opportunity to talk with state legislators about issues important to Michigan. Local and state programs are provided at no cost to students; the trip to Wash­ ington must depend upon fund-raising activities for most participants. The Close Up Foundation, based in Washington, D.C. provides each participating high school with one teacher fellowship and one student scholarship to be used for a needy student; all remaining students must raise their own funds to attend the national program. To date, 3,420 Kent area high school students and their teachers have attended Washington CloseUp in the past 7 years. So why not “pitch in”? With pledges, that is. All residents of Kent County will benefit from this student effort.

Caledonia Golf by Paul Stuefen The Caledonia JV Football team finally put it all together last Thursday evening to defeat the Lee Rebels 6-0 for their first victory of the year. The first quarter was scoreless, and showed that a very tough defensive struggle was going to dominate most of the game. It wasn’t until the second quarter that the Scots scored. They did it on a Mike Crumback to Scott DeVries 24-yard touchdown pass. Cnimback had a nice protection and found DeVries in the flats, who made a nice catch, and run, as he cut back at the five and took it over for six. Eric Haglund, who led the Scots ground game with 70 yards on 15 carries, was stopped short of the goal line on the PAT attempt. The rest of the game was pretty much a defensive battle. Late in the 4th quarter Haglund took it over from 3 yards out, but it was called back on a holding penalty. After that Lee took over on their own 20, but couldn't get anything going and time ran out. Caledonia also got a good performance from freshman Ryan Flynn who had 51 hard fought yards on 13 carries. This Thursday the Scots will travel to Hudsonville to take on the always tough Eagles, looking for their second win of the season. school Division 3 race of the Fennville Cross Country open held at the Fennville High School campus on September 26.

Caledonia’s defense was led by Rusty Crumback and Chad Creasy. Paul Stuefen, Ron Schultz and Gerry VanderVelde each had an interception for Caledonia. The defense held Lee to 79 yards rushing and Lee could only complete 1 of 8 passes for 16 yards. Caledonia’s offense at the same time was finally rolling up the numbers on the accurate passing arm of Doug Wilson and the balanced running attack the Scots have lacked in previous games. Wilson attempted 12 passes for the game and completed 7 for 141 yards. The Fighting Scots piled up 191 yards on the ground for a total of 334 yards. Paul Stuefen led the rushing game with 73 yards in 5 carries. This week the “High Flying" Eagles of Hudsonville invade the home of the Fighting Scots. Put together a great opportunity. Richard J.

I left home Thursday at 9:30 headed for Dayton, Ohio. Arrived at St. Elizabeth Rehab Center at 4:00, after 308 miles, to spend the rest of the day with John. Had lunch in the cafeteria with him and left for Fairborn at'7:15 to stay at his home. Friday I was up and to Rehab to have breakfast with him and spend the day to see the Rehab program for a day. They have occupational therapy and physical therapy from gunshot wounds, automo­ bile accidents, victims of strokes (many of them) and amputees. Each one doing his bit to get back to better health. It is a real interesting program to follow for a day. John had invited 5 of his nurses and therapists to a pizza party at noon with salad, cake and ice cream to help him celebrate his birthday. Then at 3:00, another birthday celebration so we had more cake. His daughter Anne had a clown come to sing him a birthday song which was a clever rendition of his life! At 6:00 more cake for one of the patients who was leaving for his home in the Bronx. New York. Really too much cake for one day. Now out to Fairborn for the night.

SERVICE NEWS CK1WCKI IMttCTOW MIDDLEVILLE CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH Sunday School Worship Service moody and unable to take effective action, one sure way that person can break the cycle is to try to help someone else. Try to Analyze and handle anger. Anger quite often results from simple frustration. Quite often when people get angry over a certain situation, they may flare up sud­ denly at someone else. A good way to handle anger and tension is by talking with a trustworthy person, such as a per­ sonal friend, a clergyman, a physician, a relation (parents for kids) or k counselor. Don’t brood. Moping about a problem doesn’t do any good. Keeping busy, a change of pace, or refocusing energies and effort is a way of “getting away from it all” by constructive action. It means doing something positive and useful about a problem. Proceed one step at a time. By taking slow, well thought out steps a person can work towards solving problems, relieving tension, handling anger and reaching goals. In this way a person can get rid of that trapped feeling as well as take pride in his or her ability to handle the situation. It’s amazing how much control a person has over his or her life. The most impor­ tant factor is you.

I have a little bit of trivia for you this morning - I know it's something you've been worried about for quite a time. I’ve been canning for 39 years, but never bothered to wonder about it until this year. What is the difference between regular vinegar and white distilled vinegar? All these years I just took it for granted cider vinegar was like regular H-,0 and white distilled vinegar was like ffistilled H2O. One was the end product with all the impurities removed. Your pickling recipes all say use the white vinegar - because cider vinegar changes the pickles’ color a little. I’ve been using the cider vinegar be­ cause I figured those impurities were minerals, etc. all those kinds of goodies that are really necessary and good for you. The change in color was so slight that my pickle-eating crew never noticed as they went through gallons in a year. Now they are warning us don’t CLAY HILLS with WRETHA McNEE make pickles unless your vinegar is 5% acidity. Don't use homemade - because it’s not a consistent 5%. Then I began to wonder what the real difference was. Brittanica Encyclopedia says “There are many types of raw materials for use in manufacturing vinegar. Most widely used are apples for cider vinegar, grapes for wine, malted barley and oats for malted vinegar, industrial alcohol for white or distilled vinegar. ” Chemically, vinegar is simply a dilute solution of acetic acid containing soluble substances of the source material. Cider, wine and malt vinegar usually contain 5-6% total acetic acid. Distilled vinegar ranges in acid con­ tent from 5% to 12%. The more concen­ trated types are prefeired for commercial operation.” I wonder what the industrail alcohol is made from because it's cheaper in any quantity than cider’ Now. I'll have to dig to get the answer to that. 1 don’t know about you. but if I can learn one new thing or fact each day, I feel content. So now, do you feel enlightened on the subject of vinegar? I did but I still go on using my cider vinegar. I guess you could say I'm an enlightened 65-year old woman but set in my ways! Well I ve called all my friends and neighbors for news. They all said I ve stayed in, no news. Guess the rain shut all in. Last Monday evening Frances and Doris Haight, Fem and I went with June Colburn to attend the 25th wedding anni versary of cousins Ken and Dorothy Viening in Grand Rapids. Sandra Pojand called on me Tuesday afternoon. Later Mildred Morgan stopped in. She had been over to see Mr. and Mrs. Earl Crane and reported he is not a bit well. The Lucille Smalley Club had potluck dinner at Bea Cutler’s Friday. June and Howard Colburn, Janie Reed and I attended the wedding at Cedar Springs Saturday afternoon of Brenda McNee and Lloyd Cooper.

There were no reported injuries in the area and considering the falling trees, most dwellings escaped with slight damage Without weather bureau warning, the storm struck with more inten sity than many folks have ever experienced. At 8:50 p.m. the winds increased “sounding like a low flying jet plane” or “a freight train pass ing overhead.” The storm was never officially classified a tornado, but a frontal wind coming mostly out of the north in the Middleville area. It apparently was several feet off the ground, because high, full foliage trees wen* the ones that took the brunt of the attack. Grand Rapids Street in Middleville seemed to be one of the hardest hit areas locally. Numerous trees were down, blocking the streets and ripping down power lines. Local firefighters worked through the night with village crews in opening roads and streets. Consumers Power crews also responded quickly and they began the task of repairing lines. A gathering of people at the Middleville United Methodist Church was trapped for a while when the storm struck. Power lines came down over cars in the parking lot and people were advised to stay put until the power company could remove the lines. Power was off in many areas for as long as 24 hours. Some area farm buildings were damaged by the wind, with the biggest loss coming at the Beuker Farm on Hanna Lake near 84th Street. Two large chicken coops (one 370 feet long and another 270 feet) were caved in with 55,000 chickens trapped inside. There were also reports of barn and silo damage in the Caledonia area.

It was taken down in four sections. Photo by Wilma Tierney ar Al Deem ter, 8725 East Paris Road, Caledonia, is shown removing the tree that fell in the family’s picnic area.

A short business meeting included the election of two new board members to replace Ron Brink and Jack Winger. Howard Keizer and Jerry Travis were elected. A financial report and other sta­ tistics and recommendations were ex­ plained by the manager, Paul Ribbens. A short program featuring pictures of events leading up to the inauguration of President Reagan were presented by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Systema. Paul Ribbens is optimistic about the future of American agriculture. “Sales have been up in every category, except heating oil,” he says. “Those sales are down because some of our customers have changed over to gas. But over all, saleshave been very good. But I want to express a word of caution. Some people are going too deeply into debt. And with interest rates as they are people just cannot handle that.” "But American agriculture will definitely survive. We need better management, and a willingness to do without ; but well always have American agriculture.” by Eric Reed (McFall 5th grade) We like to break dishes and fisht with the squirrels. We like to pull pig tails, when they are on girls. We like to eat candy and junk food too, But we don t like to mow the lawn, rake the leaves for you.

He arrived in Michigan from Ohio in 1823. working for a time at a sawmill in Oakland. Co., then the next year started growing potatoes in the Ann Arbor area. He kept fanning and trading for new land around there the next five years. Like Chapman, he had Yankee roots. Both were descended from old New Eng­ land families that went back almost to the Mayflower. Chapman was bom in Massachusetts Sept. 26. 1774. Bronson in Connecticut Nov. 27 1788. Both were lean and lanky and loved books. One time, after a traveling preacher left some reading material with his daughter. Bron­ son went galloping off through the woods after the preacher imploring him to leave more books if he could. Books were about the only entertain­ ment in the isolation of a solitary cabin, the usual habitat of Bronson. In 1830 he CLAY HILLS with WRETHA McNEE A week ago Saturday, I forgot to put this item in the news. Fem and Charles Poland also attended the wedding of Brenda McNee and Lloyd Cooper. Sorry.

Then Thursday morning no electric so eight of us went to Caledonia for a get together at the Harvest House. Sure a full house there. Phyllis and Ted Armstrong were to Harold and Bea Cutlers Saturday for dinner, helping to celebrate both Harold and Bea’s birthday. Jerrie and Andy McKeown spent ten days visiting in Wyoming and came home through the storm. Jeanette Sherman went to Clarksville Saturday, then on up north with friends for the weekend. built one where Kalamazoo now is, on land he claimed the year before. In 1831 he and his wife's brother recorded plats for a new “Village of Bronson there. That year it was chosen to be the county seat for Kalamazoo County, and Bronson donated the land for the court house, the jail, an academy, the common schools, the cemetery and four churches. He served for a time there as a justice of the peace. Unfortunately he didn't keep very good records and one time was criticized for the messiness of his justice docket. At that he grabbed the papers and pitched them into a roaring fire in a stove, exclaiming. ‘Well, well, if I can t keep a docket I can raise potatoes.! ' The town he founded flourished, but other interests didn t like the name and in 1836 succeeded h changing it from Bronson to Kalamazoo. According to one contemporary , the change caused Bronson some hurt. He wrote that the new name “robbed the old pioneer of the prestige of his first settlement, and sent the ‘iron deep into his soul'.” But Bronson was more of a frontiers­ man and potato grower than an urban de veloper anyway, and by 1836 he said ‘ I shall have to go further west, where there is more room.” He moved his family to northern Illinois and thence to Iowa He made a return trip to his Connecticut hometown in 1852 and took sick and died there in January, 1853. His tomb­ stone reads. “A western pioneer, returned to sleep with his fathers He spent about a dozen years in Michigan, all of them prior to the era of statehood, which began in 1837. But like Johnny Appleseed he left an agricultural legacy behind him. Another pioneer once praised him for his efforts in making potatoes a regular part of the frontier scene, citing the statement of Scottish essayist Thomas Carlyle. * A man who produces a potato for his fellow man is a greater benefactor to his race than the man who produces a gold dollar, for the potato is of the most value to mankind.” TrwS.ofi WATER CONDITIONERS SOFT WATER FOR SALE OR RENT TEBBA-SEA 9790 Cherry Valley 891-9233 / TOLD YOU NOT TO SET IT WHEN THE TRAVEL & AWENTURE SERIES WAS SHOWING!

Neither extra point could be scored. Quarterback Wingeier didn’t let the rain stop him, completing 14 of 20 passes for 201 yards. Tim Heffner caught seven of these for 72 yards.

The Eagles of Hudsonville scored a touchdown on an eleven yard run by Dennis Jonker in the second period, and this accounted for all of the scoring that was to take place. Although Hudsonville amassed 331 yards in total offense, the only time they threatened to score, they did on the run by Jonker. Caledonia’s punter, Rob Koehl, kept the Eagles pinned down in their own terri­ tory most of the evening. Two of Koehl’s punts were covered by the Fighting Scots on the Eagle 2 yard line. Caledonia managed to get inside Hudsonville's twenty Eagles Shut Out Junior Varsity Last Thursday the Caledonia JV Foot­ ball team’s record slipped to 1-3 (1-2 in conference) as they lost to the undefeated Hudsonville Eagles 20-0.

The Scots will play Byron Center this Thursday at home, looking to even out their conference record. yard line only once, and that play was nul­ lified by a holding penalty. Late in the game Caledonia threatened with a first and ten on the Eagle 30 yard line, but four passes in a row failed and the game ended in a heartbreaking loss for the Fighting Scots.

Collins, 459 �The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan / October 8,1981 /Page 13 Prepare Your Furnace Now for the Winter Ahead As brisk fall days herald the approach of winter, the wise resident who controls his or her own heating system should get a head start on fuel economy by pre­ paring the home furnace for heavy duty ahead. “The Better Business Bureau sug­ gests conducting a thorough furnace checkup before the first cold spell hits,’* said R.E. Giller, Manager A furnace checkup can be a do-it-your­ self project, but having the heating system checked by reliable technicians at the beginning of the heating season is a good investment. In either case, be sure the following steps are taken: turn on the furnace well in advance of anticipated need, so that any trouble can be detected and corrected in a leisurly manner that allows time for thoughtful selection of a competent repair company. check the air filters through which recirculated house air passes, and clean or replace them if they are loaded with dust or lint. Establish a schedule - every 30 days, for example - for washing permanent filters or replacing disposable ones. — if the blower motor is of the type requiring ailing, put a few drops of oil in the oil cup at each end of the motor at the beginning of the season; re-oil in January or February. With a hot water heating system, it is necessary to oil the motor on the circulating pump, located at the back of the heating boiler. On gas or oil furnaces, examine the venting pipe (flue) to make sure it is in good condition and firmly in place. Rust spots on the pipe or rust streaks running down from the chimney indicate that the chimney may be plugged up. Old chimneys are susceptible to blockage by deteriorated mortar falling off the sides and filling the flue opening. These fragments must be removed by loosening the pipe and reaching into the opening. The burning of fuel often produces ashes that interfere with good heat trans­ fer. Further, burning fuel efficiently re­ quires a specific quantity of air for opti­ mal combustion. For these reasons it is wise to have the heat exchange surfaces of the furnace cleaned periodically, and to have the air combustion rate checked or improved by service profes­ sionals. Oil burners, for example, work best if the air in the flue contains at least 9 percent carbon dioxide. A technician usually can tune up or adjust the burner to achieve better combustion rates that result in more efficient and less costly fuel consumption. Government studies have shown that many furnaces and boilers are oversized for the heating requirements of the houses they serve. A competent service techni­ cian. through a series of measurements and calculations, can make the furnace more energy efficient by reducing the fuel intake and modifying air-handling parts. Having the service technician check and reset, if necessary. the on and off temperature settings on the furnace fan can conserve significant amounts of fuel. The fan should shut off when the fur­ nace temperature is about 90° and should not go on again until the burner comes on and raises the furnace tempera­ ture to about 110° f. The BBB warns that fall is the prime time for bogus furnace repairs. Beware of itinerants who canvass neighborhoods saying they are furnace inspectors. Some­ one unwise enough to let such people examine his or her furnace is likely to be told that it has a crack o« other serious deficiency and is extremely dangerous. Often the scheme involves an accomplice, posing as a safety engineer, who recom­ mends installation of a new furnace at once. Always check the reliability of heating repair companies by contacting the Better Business Bureau of Western michigan before signing a contract, paying out money, or allowing the present fur­ nace to be dismantled. If there is doubt, get another estimate or second opinion. Don’t be “flimflammed” into a major furnace job. New 1981-82 Phone Directories Out Michigan Bell’s 1981-82 Hastings area telephone directories currently being distributed to area customers are bigger and more colorful than ever before. Richard L. Strauss, local Michigan Bell manager, said this year’s phone books have been converted from their former 6x9 inch page size to a new 7x 11 inch format. “By converting our smaller books to this larger format, we are able to standard­ ize many of our graphics and advertising procedures and reduce paper consumption as well.” Strauss explained. This year’s phone books are more colorful with the addition of bright red to Yellow Pages advertisments. Twocolor ads have been introduced in about one halt ol Michigan Bell s directories statewide and they have been favorably received by both advertisers and con­ sumers, Strauss noted. Full page advertisements are another new addition to this year’s Yellow Pages. The larger ads “enable advertisers to pro­ vide more information to consumers.' Large boldface business listing give the white pages a new look this year. Available as an option, the boldface ads allow businesses to put extra emphasis on their listings and also help customers to find numbers more easily. The customer guide pages in the front of the directories contain information de­ signed to help customers save time and money, including tips on dialing long dis­ tance calls direct and taking advantage of discount periodsand toll-free numbers. The customer guide pages also include a section explaining the new heavy-use Directory Assistance charging plan which went into effect in July. Scattered throughout the Yellow Pages are numerous consumer tips such as how to reduce home heating costs and how to determine shopping bargains, he said.

Others may note that these people don’t “fit in” and are hard to be. or work with. At times their behavior may be anti-social and injurious to others. They often don’t seek help until others suggest the need to do so. Next week - Psychosis The names of different mental or emo­ tional illnesses are simply the ‘labels' we give them and should not cause fear. These days most people do recover, or, at least can be helped. A Neurosis may be relatively mild, though it may also be emotionally painful, wearing, and to some degree disabling. Neurotic people may be very anxious most of the time, or fear heights, or closed in places or crowds. It may be that they can only do things in a certain way. in other words, they are not flexible. They may suffer from extreme fatigue without any obvious physical cause. A Personality Disorder is generally a life long pattern often evident from adolescence or earlier. It may show itself by a lack of good judgment, or relation­ ships with others may be poor. In an effort to solve their problems, people with these disorders may keep relating TK Menus ELEMENTARY Monday: Ravioli Tuesday: Hot dogs Wednesday: Cheeseburgers Thursday: P izza Casserole Friday: Fishwiches MIDDLE L HIGH SCHOOL Monday: Bar-B-Ques Tuesday: Pizza Wednesday: Italian Spaghetti Thursday: Ham ’n Cheese/ Pork n Beans Friday: Oven baked chicken, potatoes, gravy.

The Fighting Scots narrowly escaped the home of the Byron Center Bulldogs with a victory last Friday evening. Things started poorly for the Scots and got steadily worse throughout the game. The only bright spots for the Fighting Scots were the defense and the power running of Rob Koehl who ended the game with 98 yards in 28 carries. Caledonia's defense kept the Bulldogs in the middle of the field all evening long, until the last few minutes of the game. Byron Center recovered a Caledonia fumble on the Fighting Scot 10 yard line and after three plays they had a fourth down and less than 1 yard to go. On the fourth down play. Byron Center fumbled. The Fighting Scots then ran out the clock to get to the overtime period. Byron Center won the flip and chose offense. After three plays the Bulldogs were at the six yard line and tried a field goal which failed. Caledonia needed only two downs to score in the overtime period as Rob Koehl carried for 8 yards on first down, then scored the game’s only touchdown on the next play. Playing excellent defensive games for Caledonia were Todd Colvin, Fred Zylstra and Rusty Crumback.

In the opening quarter freshman Scott Schafsma bolted 9 yards into the endzone for the first Scot touchdown. The rest of the first half was scoreless. But the Scots continued to look impressive, rolling up 133 yards total offense. The second half was a big one, and the Scots wasted no time in putting the ball in the endzone. This time Eric Haglund took it over from six yards out. Haglund has led the Scots in rushing all year and he ended the game with 7 carries for 32 yards, to up his season total to 232 yards on 46 tries for a solid 5 yard average. He has also scored two touchdowns. The third Caledonia score was set up by a fumble recovery on an attempted punt by freshman Doug Northouse. This time it was Ryan Flynn taking it over from one yard out. Flynn was the game’s leading rusher as he piled up 89 yards in 14 attempts. He also ran for an extra point. The last score came in the fourth quarter. Again it was Northouse who set it up. This time he blocked a Byron Center punt and recovered it himself at the BC 38 yard line. The score came on an 8 yard sprint from Scott Packer. After the game Northouse said of his spectacu­ lar special team's play. “I’m just glad it set up the touchdowns.’’ The Scots played their best ever as they ended the evening with 224 yards total offense. 211 rushing. Also playing a fine game for the Scots was sophomore quarterback Mike Crum­ back. Although he didn’t complete any passes, he helped a lot with his running. He picked up a 29 yards on 6 tries, most of it coming on important third down plays, and he had one extra point. This Thursday the JVswill travel to Comstock Park to play the Panthers. Hopefully they’ll be able to keep up the good work and come out on top. Richard J. Choryan, O.D. DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY OFFICE HOURS BY APPOINTMENT PHONE 891 1056 131 E.

I could write a book about the thoughts and memories that go through my head as I empty the con­ tents of the old cabinets into many, many cardboard boxes in anticipation of their being replaced. But that is for another time.

Today’s world is one of fear. We have to lock ourselves in our houses to protect ourselves and our belongings from the outside, greedy world. We’re afraid to help a stranded motorist, afraid to carry money, afraid to go out at night. All these fears have real meaning as we read of the many acts of crime and vio­ lence in our newspapers. But these things don’t happen in our quiet community. Or do they? I cannot leave my house unlocked for an hour without having some neighbor­ hood kid come in and make himself at CLAY HILLS with WRETHA McNEE Mr. and Mrs. Leo Church called on Ida Skinner Sunday afternoon. Bea and Harold Cutler attended Eastern Star Installation at Lake Odessa Saturday evening. Monday Jeanette Sherman and Lucille Uyl went to Grand Valley Nursing home to see Alice Holly, then to see Jeanette’s brother-in-law Forest Trumble, then to lunch. Thursday Jeanette went with her class to the Fruit Basket, then to Bill Knapp’s for lunch. June and I went with Fem to spend the day with my sister-in-law, Anna Gibbs, in Kalamazoo Wednesday.

Parmalee Ladies Aid held a potluck dinner Thursday at noon. Barbara and her grandson and Pam called on her parents Saturday. home, and take the few dollars he can find. Someone tore apart the decorations my children had set up in the front yard. Last night someone stole our pumpkins. Parents - do you really know where your teenage children are at nigjit? If its stupid vandalism today, will it be some­ thing more serious tomorrow? A Middleville Resident To the Editor : As a scheduling consultant, the person responsible for coordinating the arrival and discharge of our school buses must be near genius. Anyone that can keep all those buses running between our three schools and not wind up with all of them discharging, all at once, at one school, is to be highly commended. I am equally sure that the safety record of the drivers, as a whole, is as good as any in the state. There are always exceptions to the rule and I would like to address my comments to these few exceptions. I drive my wife’s day care center kids to their respective schools every morning, and so have the opportunity to be part of this orderly confusion. 1. It’s a state law that a bus discharging children may not be passed. While it may not be a law for a private vehicle, why do some of our bus drivers persist in passing me while I’m discharging my kids. My kids are just as liable to run out in front of them as theirs are me. 2. While some things can be overlooked for the sake of a time schedule, don’t the drivers realize that the area between schools is a 25 mph limit, not 45. The speed limit on M-37 in the village is 35 mph, not 50+. I’m sure our loci police department would be glad to give me a ticket if I drove this fast. Are school bus drivers given immunity to this law? 3. A few drivers don’t seem to realize that those buses are 45 to 50 feet long and don’t bend in the middle. I have seen more near hits than I care to count in­ volving the back ends of buses. One driver is called “Crash Crably” or some such name by the kids because of three acci­ dents in one year. There is a telephone pole at the approach to the west building whose days are numbered. The stop sign won’t be far behind. My question is: are the drivers in­ structed on how to drive and operate AUCTION SALE Thursday, October 22, 1981 5:00 P.M. TODAY!!

Two of the Trojans’ three touchdowns came on bombs of over 45 yards each while Middleville quarterback Chris Wingeier broke loose for 45 rushing yards. Kelloggsville looked as thought would capture the momentum early, scoring on a 47-yard break-away sprint in the first quarter. The Trojans turned it around soon af terward, passing to Tim Heffner for a 47-yard six pointer. Heffner grabbed another toss for the two point conversion giving TK an 8-6 edge.

The Tro­ jans started slow but got on the track and the game was decided by halftime. The Trojans had leads of 14-8 first quarter, and 24-11 at half. The Trojans did get in some foul trouble but the substitutes came through and took up the slack. The Trojan bench played .well during most of the second half until late in the fourth quarter when Hamilton put on a late surge, but it was much too late. Leading the Trojan scoring was Kris Timm and Karen Gray each with 13 points, Monique Weesie 4 and Brenda Page. Sandy Egleston and Taleese Yonkers with 2 points each. Delton Hands TK First Defeat The 8th Grade girls basketball team suffered their first defeat of the year to an undefeated Delton Team, 34-26, at Delton last tutsday. The game was close all through the fust half with the Trojans holding a slim 15-14 first quarter lead and a 21-18 halftime lead. The Trojans then went cold and were unable to sink key baskets. The Trojans kept in the game on hustle and good rebounding, along with a lot of desire. As the fourth quarter began the Trojans were still unable to shake their cold shooting, and it eventually caught up to them as Delton took the lead midway through the fourth period and held on for the 34-26 win. The Trojans played hard and showed their class as a team in the lose. Their record now stands al 4-1. Leading the Trojan Scoring was Kris Timm with 9 points.

Tiemeyer Many local people were among the farmers from five counties who sponsored the Michigan Farm Fair at the Woodland Mall on October 22-24. Farm equipment, animals and farm pro­ duce were on display. Colorful descriptive posters and a ‘hands on’ approach pro­ vided the opportunity for hundreds of people to become better acquainted with Michigan agriculture. “We have to do this,” says Amy Finkbeiner of 7028 100th Street, while giving a guided tour. “We want to educate the consumer to the personal involvement it takes to be a fanner. We want them to know that good basic nutrition is avail­ able in this farm produce. This Farm Fair is also to give the farmer a good image.” Tart, red apples were sliced, ready to be enjoyed. Pure maple sugar products tasted. People stood in line waiting to sample blueberry pancakes, ice cream and yogurt. “If it’s not good, it’s not the farmer’s fault,” says Melva Oersh of Alto. ‘The processor has a lot to do with it before it reaches the market .” “We want the public to know that farmers are consumers too,” says Finkbeiner. “We eat what we produce. But that sometimes causes a problem for city folk. They wonder how a farmer can raise a steer, and then slaughter it to eat.” TO PICKUP CANS & BOTTLES WANTED! All returnable bottles and cans to aid the TK Booster fund drive. The Boosters will be going door to door this Saturday morning (October 31) in all areas in the school district. If you have returnable bottles and cans, your donation of them to the Boosters will be helping the TK kids' extra curricular programs. Please be generous!

A positive image was projected by the cheerful atmosphere and the happy indi­ viduals working the displays. The prob­ lems of weather, inflation and high interest rates were found only by asking. But the problem of dairy substitutes was evident. At the dairy display a large work shoe noticeably worn silently gave the message on an attached poster “Stomp on Imitations.” “No quick way for a T-bone steak,” was the message brought by Charlene Thompson of Freeport. “It takes 39 months.” “Many people say‘we should eat only grass fed animals. Tney object to the gram. We explain that generally steers are fed only 3 to 5 months.” Then, showing all the different feeds silage, hay. etc. which are fed to animals, she explains, “Only by feeding this to animals can it be made into food for human consump­ tion.” Each day of the Farm Fair four bags of groceries were given away. Also, one toy International Harvester Tractor and wagon set became the prized possession of a lucky youngster. But with the Farm Fair past, the free recipes will continue to delight hundreds of homemakers who try them We’re pleased to pass some of them along to the readers of the Sun and News: A pie recipe (found on page 16) was prepared and served at the reception in honor of President Ford this past month, it is delicious' Quito Cruttenden of Hastings and Ethel Gibson of Middleville served ice cream and yogurt from this booth at the Woodland Mall Farm Fair On Thursday, November 5, the Caledo­ nia Women’s Club will meet at the home of its president, Mrs. Charles Vaughn with Mrs George Howard as co-host ess Mrs Charles Roetman program chair­ man for the day, will have an attorney present to discuss financial planning with special emphasis on looking into the fu­ ture, taking into account such things as wills and estates.

This referred to the school bus drivers of Thomapple Kellogg Schools. 1. The school bus stop law is: Outside of a dty or village and inside a city or village which has adopted the school bus stop law The school bus driver shall activate the alternating red flashing lights at least 200' in advance of a stop for the purpose of loading or unloading school children. The driver of any vehicle over­ taking or meeting any school bus which has stopped and is displaying the flashing red lights shall bring the vehicle to a full stop at least 10 feet from the bus and shall not proceed until the school bus re­ sumes motion or the visual signals are no longer actuated. The turning off of the flashing red lights is a signal for traffic to proceed. Mr. Greenman. if you would like to have traffic stop for you, I would suggest that you buy a school bus which meets the standards of a school bus. You would then be able to stop traffic for the safety of your children. There are also some other qualifications that you would have to meet in order to drive a school bus. The State requirements to drive a school bus are: \ a. Certificate - which requires a driver to complete a 16-hour course in school bus safety education, b. Physical I.C.C. c. Chauffeur’s license with a Class 3 endorsement. Class 3 is a special for driv­ ing a bus or school bus. There is an addi­ tional 40-question test. A school bus driver must have a road test given by a Certified State Examiner each time that they renew their license. This road test which consists of a pre-trip of the bus and an on-the-road test consisting of ■ student pick up, railroad crossing upshifting and down shifting; clutch use. The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan / October 29, 1981 / Page 3 brake use; legal right turns, legal left turns; lane usage; legal turn around; mir­ ror use; backing between two buses which are placed 10’ apart. A driver must be able to angle or parallel park. The distance for parallel parking is the length of bus plus 5 feet. The driver is unsatisfactory and can not drive a bus if during the test a viola­ tion occurs. There are 43 items to check on a bus pre-trip. If 12 items are missed the driver does not pass the test. The driver must stake out the bus with their emergency equipment. A school bus driver can not drive a bus if they have more than 6 points on their chauffeur’s license. Prior to July 17. 1981. all school bus drivers were required to have 6 hours of safety classes each year. The Thornapple Kellogg bus drivers received their 6 hours of safety classes this past summer at Otsego High School, conducted by Wes­ tern Michigan University. These drivers have had 6 hours each year as long as they have been driving. School bus drivers are professional people. There are so many state require­ ments plus all the liability and responsibi­ lity. There is more to the job than the pay that they receive. There is a satisfac tion of working with children and love for their precious cargo. They only have one goal “Safer Ride for the kids.” 2 With reference to the speed that you had listed - it is not easy to get a bus from 25 mph to 45 in a short distance. How were you checking the speed? Why don’t you leave this to the police? I watch these drivers like I had a badge on my arm. They know I watch them. I am ready to report good or bad to the school. I have a lot of respect for the police. They have a tough job and can’t be all places at the same time. Keep up the good work. 3. The statement - drivers don’t seem to realize those buses are 45 to 50’ long. The bus drivers know the length of their bus. Thomapple Kellogg 66 passenger buses are 35’ long and don’t bend in the middle. Those buses don’t have to bend in the middle as these drivers have 6 mirrors on the buses and can handle the situation without further advice. All of the school bus drivers from Thomapple Kellogg schools have chauffeur's license free from any points. The buses have passed the State Po­ lice inspection 100% for the last five years. We should say thank you toall bu| drivers. Mr. Wayne Robinson and Mr Gerald Page. 1 am a consultant for Western Michigan University and have instructed your drivers in many of their safety classes. 1 am aware of their concerns for safety as we always work for a “Safer Ride for the Kids.” I am a certified State Examiner and have road tested these drivers. You have good drivers and you better give them a pat on the back for their good job. They have a lot of liability and responsibility Those kids’ lives are in their hands. Their problems are all in back of them as they have to face that traffic and all the hazards of driving. School buses have proven to be the safest way of transporta­ tion. My question to Mr. Greenman Would you like to take the road test that 1 give to the bus drivers? Olive Finkbeincr Consultant, W.M.U.

At halftime, many of the fans were extreme­ ly cold, and 1 decided to sit in my car (to try to return feelings to my feet). I went out by myself, as my husband was also on the field as part of the Caledonia coach­ ing staff. At the gate 1 was told I could not leave and no passes were given out. I explained my situation to the two ‘guards’ and their comment was - “you’ll pay!” 1 went to the car, warmed up, and as I came back after halftime, the ‘guards were watching for me (naturally!). I again said I was a visiting parent and would like to return to the game, but was forcibly kept out and a policeman was summoned (maybe three of them could keep me from bursting thru the gates - after all, I am well into middle age and weigh under 120 pounds. Quite a threat!) I suggested that, under the circumstan­ ces, the athletic director be summoned to discuss the matter. I was “detained” by the ‘gate goons’ and police, and soon the athletic director rushed forward, obviously in no mood for discussion. I was immediately told in a voice that everyone around could hear that “madame, no one comes back in, and if you want to see this game you’ll have to go out and buy another ticket!” (Which I did, and couldn’t have been happier with the results of the game!) Thank you, Middleville, for your ‘cordial’ hosting of the visiting parents! At least your football players had the courtesy to shake hands after the game. Perhaps the athletic director and gate keepers should review the meaning of the words “host,” “visitors” and “cor­ diality,” and the athletic boosters should review the reasons behind the offensive gate policy.

Veriinde Everything (ooked good for the Tro­ jans when they took possession of the ball with a couple of minutes left in the game, but the Scotties spoiled it when they recovered a TK fumble and passed 38 yards for the game’s concluding touch­ down. Caledonia missed the conversion but held the Trojans to come away with a 14-12 victory Middleville led in total offensive yard­ age with 189 yards to Caledonia’s 115. Clyde Lewis was the game’s leading rusher with 74 yards, followed by Scot back Rob Koehl with 41. Ice. snow, mud and low temperatures didn't stop the quarterbacks from combining for nine completions in 21 throws. Paul Stuefen of Caledonia caught two for 45 yards while Trojan Tim Lucas caught two for 28 yards. Tomorrow Middleville travels to Com­ stock Park while Caledonia heads west to Hamilton. For the second straight week, the TK Varsity football team won the battle of the statistics, but came up short on the scoreboard. The Trojans handed neighbor Caledonia the yearly bragging rights in a 14-12 mud wrestling contest last Friday. Middleville struck first on a three-yard scamper by Clyde Lewis in the fust quar­ ter, but the Trojans continued their streak of bad luck in the conversion de­ partment and the score stood 6-0. The Scots returned the favor in the following quarter when Doug Wilson passed for a 17-yard TD reception to Mike Mitchell. Caledonia, however, had better luck with their conversion attempt, taking the lead 8-6 on the quarterback run by Wilson. The Trojans recaptured the lead in the third quarter on a ten-yard desperation pass to Tim Lucas. The attempt at the two-pointer failed (again!), but Middle­ ville was happy to be ahead 12-8. Junior Varsity Routs Scots, 30-6 MIDDLEVILLE SPORTS Vandenberg, Irwin Qualify For State C.C. Final Run The Trojan Cross Country team will send two members to the State finals at Watervliet this Saturday.

The boys team finished 12 out of 15 schools at Glenn Oaks. Regie Raab was 27th, Paul French 66th, Larry Barton 72nd and Brian Lewis was 95th. There was a total of 97 runners. Earlier in the week, VandenbeYg finished first in the conference meet. He was awarded a first team position on the OK Blue All Conference team. Bob estab­ lished a new Douglas Walker course record, in dual meet with Lee. The undefeated champ was timed in at 15:22.3. Regie Raab was given an honorable mention award for his fine performance and his conference meet finish of 18th place. He had a seasonal best time of 17:10 in a dual meet with Hamilton.

Veriinde The Middleville JV football team com­ bined a balanced offensive attack with a sky-high defensive performance last Thurs­ day, socking it to the Scots of Caledonia 30-6. The Trojans established their domi­ nance on the opening Kickoff when Tim Heffner ran the ball back 83 yards to the one yard line. Chris Wingeier followed with a quarterback sneak for six points. The conversion attempt failed as Middle­ ville took a 6-0 lead. The Trojans scored again in the second quarter when Randy Winchester, in his de­ but as end, caught a 35-yard TD pass. The two-pointer succeeded, allowing Middle­ ville to carry a 14-0 lead onto the field to start the second half. Freshman power increased the TK lead when Steve Rosenberg, the freshman re­ placement for injured Scott Kaminski, scored on a 28-yard sprint in the third stanza. The two point conversion upped the score to 22-0. Monty Sanford capped off the Trojan qravs ft* ■■ PAGE Comments from TK's Head Coach RAY PAGE This was another week where we managed to grab defeat from the jaws of victory. We did some things real well, but always managed to mess up in some way. The weather certainly was not too nice but I think it hurt Caledonia more than it did us. They fumbled 5 times and lost 3, while we only fumbled once and we re­ covered that fumble. The big debate I was having with the officials in the first half dealt with the formation that Caledo­ nia was using. We felt that they were lin­ ing up with 5 men in the backfield. The official asked Caledonia which of their players was a back and which one an end. Something 1 found even harder to under­ stand. Like last week, we seem to do well in all the stations except the score and extra points. We controlled the ball but not the score. This was the most snow I’ve seen on this field during a game, in fact it was the most snow I’ve seen in about 15 years during one of our games The only good thing about the weekend was the fact the freshmen and J V's both won. Both of these teams have really been improving despite the loss of several players to in­ juries. They will both be home this week. The freshmen play Lowell and the TV's play Comstock Park. No one can call our supportive fans fair weather fans, with the turnout we had at the game. It seems like to add to our trouble this fall, the weather has been lousy. Let’s home for a good night in all ways at Comstock Park next week. See you there! tallies in the final quarter on a one-yard trot over the goaliine. Middleville com­ pleted another two-pointer to leave the sc^re 30-0 Caledonia scored in the closing minutes to prevent the shutout making the final score 30-6. The Trojan offensive front consisting of Evan Miller, Paul Ordway. Mitch Mugridge, Nathan Briggs and Jeff Wohl ford provided valuable protection for Chris Wingeier and his backfield. Wingeier completed seven of 11 passes for 147 yards while Steve Rosenberg rushed for 75 yards. Adam Wegner and Scott Duflo com­ bined for three interceptions in a fine Trojan defensive performance. Tim Heffner deserves credit as Middleville’s most valuable player this week. Playing on offense and defense, Heffner came up with a 38 yard recep­ tion, an interception, and the previously mentioned kickoff return. Tim also serves as the place kicker and punter. Tonight the JV Trojans host the Panthers from Comstock Park. Boy's Golf Compete in State Finals The 1981 OK Blue Champion Middle­ ville Trojans competed in the State Class C golf finals at the Milham Park Golf Club on Saturday, October 24. Middleville qualified for the State Tournament by finishing second the week before in the regionals. Although the Trojans shot a 374 and finished in 16th place out of twenty-one teams, they made a good, solid effort and enjoyed the experience. Freshman Rolfe Timmerman shot Middleville’s best score, a 91, on a cold, windy day. Jeff Chapman had a 92, Bill Cisler 94 and Del Buxton a 97. Tom Will also represented Middleville. Saginaw' St. Joseph won the tournament with a 329 score. Detroit County Day had a 332 for second and Central Mont­ calm had a 341 for third place. Steve John of Detroit Country Day had a 76 for medalist honors. Coach Bernie Weller commented: “This has been a most enjoyable year for me. The kids did a super job all year and were mentally tough when they had to be. Our disappointing showing in the State finals is in no way that much of a disappoint­ ment because just qualifying to go to State is a tremendous accomplishment. To win the conference championship and finish second in the regionals far surpassed my expectations at the beginning of the year. The amazing thing about the season is that in 54 holes, using the four top scores. Middleville outscored Caledonia 104 ' to 1043 shots, and yet Middleville finished as league champs, while Caledo­ nia finished third and TK went to the regionals. while Caledonia missed going by one shot. All in Ml, it has been very ex­ citing.” The banquet to honor the golfers will be held at the Sveden House in Grand Rapids on November 20. Players and their families and guests are invited.

First year junior, Chris Perry, started at third doubles much of the year. Chris has shown a great deal of improvement in consistency of ground sti okes and volleys. More improvement for her next year should produce a fine season for her. Two other freshmen, Ginger Cook and Julie Bussema, did not start at the varsity level, but did play exhibition matches. Both players continue to improve and hope to take a spot away from one of the starters next year. Girls tennis teams have won four straight conference championships. This year’s team was very young and inexperienced. Our main goal was to learn, improve and win as many matches as we could, so that we could challenge for the top spot next year. Any time players enter a rebuilding season, finish third overall and second in the conference match, they have done their jobs very well. Congratulations on a fine season. 15:52 16:11 16:19 16:42 16:54 17:05 17:07 17:08 1*7:09 17:19 17:22 17:24 17:26 17:28 17:30 17:33 17:35 18:08 Team to Run In State Finals The Caledonia Fighting Scot Cross Country team continued the week with an outstanding performance at the Class “C” Regionals at Glen Oaks Community College.

I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. Because I own all of me. I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing I can love me and be friendly with me and all my parts. I can then make it possible for all of me to work in my best interests. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know. But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself. I can courageously and hopefully look for the solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is me. This is authentic and represents where I am at that moment in time. When I review later how I looked and sounded, what I said and did. and how I thought and felt, some parts may turn out to be unfitting. I can discard that which is unfitting and keep that which proved fitting and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see. hear, feel, think, say and do.

Saturday was the Boosters carnival and the Van Rhees, worked at the cake walk. Thanks to all of you who helped and brought cakes. Amy Van Rhee went with Carolyn, Ellen and Jane Jackson to see the musical “Annie” in Kalamazoo on Sunday. They all ate out at the Brown Derby before the play and enjoyed ice cream after.

Main, Caledonia - 891-8222 �14 / October 29, 1981 / I he Sun and Newt, Middleville, Michigan AT THE BARRY COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Old Illustrated Business Letterheads Tell a Story Larry Masse, assistant director of ar­ chives and regional history collections of southwestern Michigan, took members and guests of the Barry County Historical Society through “a museum of American art tastes, fine printing and period archi­ tecture” at the society’s annual October banquet in Middleville. Thousands of business letterheads on correspondence with the Kalamazoo State Hospital from the 1860’s to the 1930's were preserved intact when deposited in the archives. The illustrated letterhead was the primary form of advertising a business until the late 1920’s after which the radio and magazinesVere the vehicle for adver­ tising nationwide Thus in the 1860’s a company’s letterhead often contained a ducts with a slogan. “Jersey Whiskey, Pure as Cream,” “Pop-Com Whiskey, an Ideal Stimulant.” Black smoke arising from the factory chimneys and people coming to and going from the factory, or a new factory build­ ing (so closely drawn the bricks could be counted) proclaimed the success of the product and company on many letterheads. Horses shying away f rom the glue factory were drawn on one letterhead. The American flags flying from the factory or store proclaimed the patriotism of the company, a popular letterhead theme of the 198O’s. Previously in the Civil War. the patriotic letterheads showed a change of mood, from flags in 1861-62 to a bitter mood in 1864-65 with the “rebel” flag being trampled on or a slogan “Death to Traitors.” Scantily clad women appeared on letterheads, but only under the guise of their being goddesses or fairies, as in the White Rock water illustration. Portraits of the business owner, to demonstrate his honesty and sincerity, were often on the letterheads; sometimes his children’s, but rarely his wife’s portrait was shown. One owner put an illustration of his mules on his letterhead. Slogans were popular. “Lardy Suspen­ ders. it Holds up the Pants and Stocksing Too.” Another owner's slogan “Business First, Something Else Afterwards,” was a bit cryptic. Eventually the letterhead encompassed the entire page with words and drawings. One told the details of how the company made a mattress. Since there was no space for the letter on the front page, the com­ pany switched the illustrations, colored drawings and advertising words to the re­ verse page and wrote the letter on the face page. The evolution of the simple letter­ head to the grand letterhead was thus completed. Massie appeared as a narrator the following evening on Channel 35's pro­ gram. “Western Michigan Review.” on the history of the Cereal City. He is the author of a book which will be published shortly. “Kalamazoo's Forgotten Indus­ tries.” Massie is a native of Allegan County and makes his residence there. This old letterhead, from the files of the Sun and News, clearly illustrates how businessmen projected a favorable image. Judging from old photographs, we >e not too sure that the F. T. French Mill in Middleville ever looked quite this good! But, it certainly projected to the Mill's customers that it was a prosperous business. drawing of the product, accurate views of the factory or store, the names of the officers, advertising slogans, and descrip­ tions of the product. As the company’s letterheads changed from year to year, the evolution of the products and factories were shown and modern advertising techniques were demonstrated. Massie’s slides and commentary pointed out glimpses of early history otherwise lost. Maps of cities and railroad lines often embellished the letterheads. Companies frequently illustrated their work or product process in their artisans at work, for ex­ ample ; glass blowers, the laying of a port­ able railroad for a mine, timbering in the forest with cross-cut saws, quarry works, plaster mill operations, and the construc­ tion of a courthouse by use of derricks. Schooners, an archaic form of transporta­ tion, were shown at Detroit in the 1860’s on another letterhead. Massie’s prized letterhead showed a birdseye view of Chicago in March, 1871, or a few months before the Great Chicago Fire which destroyed much of Chicago. Subliminal advertising was known to the makers of Dodge cars as shown by rain falling on persons standing outside the car but not in the car itself, parked in a fashionable part of town Photographs do not appear on the let­ terheads until later years. Early drawn illustrations depict products very useful in their time: a butter cutter, a milk cooler, a stone sled used to haul stones out of fields, a sprinkling wagon, a manure spreader, an early telephone booth a cross-cut saw for cutting ice on a lake. “Before and after” advertising demonstrat­ ed the advantages of buying a kitchen flour bm and a metal floor mop wringer. Roach salt and lice paint were advertised on the letterhead.

You love the friend who just stands by. Perhaps there's nothing he can do. The thing is strictly up to you. For there are troubles all your own. And paths the soul must tread alone. Times when love can't smooth the road. Nor friendship lift the heavy load. But just to feel you have a friend Who will stand by until the end. Whose sympathy through all endures. Whose warm handclasp is always yours. It helps somehow to pull you through. Although there's nothing he can do. And so with fervent heart we cry, "God bless the friend who just stands by."

The Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education is seeking candidates for an opening on the board due to the resigna­ tion of board member Dennis R Martin. Martin, who was elected to the board in 1979 and was the current president, re­ signed to accept employment in Kansas City. The Board urges any eligible candidate to apply in writing, including a brief resumt and a statement of their reason for seeking the office. The deadline for filing these applications with the TK Board at the Administration building in Middleville will be January 13, 1982 at 4 p.m A spe­ cial board meeting will be held on Monday January 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school library, at which time a final selection will be made The appointee will serve until the June. 1982 election, at which Martin’s unfilled term of a year will be voted upon by the residents of the district. Martin, in his letter of resignation to his fellow board members, stated that he Acic TV Station Builds Tower Here Western Michigan is to have a new television station early in 1982. WWMATV (We’re Western Michigan's Alterna­ tive TV), is owned by TV-17 Unlimited, Inc., a Michigan corporation. The stock­ holders are all western Michigan business and professional men and women. The station will program educational. religious and family programs each day. The station plans to have an 18 hour broadcast day. Being an independent “UHF” station, it will pick up news from three national sources by satellite dish receiver. Sports activities will come in the same way. The station will broadcast from a 1,070’ tower on Davis Road in Middle­ ville. The new transmitter building con­ tains the newest state of the art broadcast equipment. The new innovate studio and offices are at the intersection of 1-96 and Plainfield Avenue. WWMA-TV will broadcast with 1,300,000 watts of power, covering all of Southern Western Michigan and even part of northern Indiana. The station pledges a caring and sharing attitude toward people and programming. The heavy emphasis on family alternative viewing promises to meet the needs and wishes of many of Western Michigan’s viewers. Paul A. Stewart, president and general manager, has put several FM radio sta­ tions on the air. Two of the radio stations are now in the final process of preparing to go on with television in their local areas. Stewart, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, has been in business for thirty-five years. He feels that the timing and requests for alternative viewing and the start of WWMA-TV are very timely. The local temporary offices are at 3862 Plainfield Ave., NE, Grand Rapids. Interviews to fill the 37 available jobs are being conducted at this time.

(That’s why you feel better after a fever breaks.) Olney concluded that he could head off many illnesses if he simply raised his own body temperature before the virus settled in At the first symptoms of a cold or flu (headache, scratchy throat, sore muscles, fatigue .. you know all the miserable signs), Olney goes home in the evening and soaks—for as long as he can stand it—in a very hot bath. (For safety’s sake, be sure the water doesn't ex­ ceed 106 *F if you try it!) Then, when his body temperature registers about 102*F, Willard gets out of the tub. (It’s a good idea to get help when standing up hot water baths can make you dizzy!) Next, he climbs into bed—under plen­ ty of extra blankets—to roast, shucking off the covers a layer at a time as the night wears on. And. come the following morning, a regenerated Wil­ lard Olney sallies forth to greet the day! So. next time you start feeling poorly, you might consider taking Ol­ ney s advice: Just draw yourself a hot bath and save the money you might have spent on worthless "mira­ cle” medicines However, if it’s too late—and you've already let a vi­ rus get the best of you. another reader. Mari Watkins, has a few suggestions on how to handle a fever If your temperature is under 102°F. Ms. Watkins suggests you eat chilled custard, jelk). applesauce, and small amounts of lean beef. Drink apricot juice, lemon­ ade. fresh or reconstituted frozen orange juice, or chilled rose-hip or mint tea—along with 1,000 milh- Caraway St out of drafts. For a fever of over 102 °F. Marj adds, you should sip cool liquids reinforced with about 1/2 teaspoon of pow­ dered ascorbic acid (the same substance that’s sprin­ kled on fresh fruit to prevent browning) or dissolved vi­ tamin C tablets (1.000 milligrams per cupful). Stay in bed. Lightly wash your face, hands, arms, and neck with a cool wet cloth, continually cooled in a basin of cold water. (Do consult a doctor if sore throat, vomit­ ing. abdominal pain, or chest congestion are also pres­ ent ... or if home remedies fail to bring you relief.) The lady also recommends that a person recovering from a fever stay indoors—and preferably in bed—until the temperature has been normal for a full 12 hours, or the fever may return.

This move was neces­ sitated when the Grants Office was closed. Pending approval by the BarryEaton District Health Board, administra­ tive and accounting procedures are to be carried out through a separate account established at the Health Department. In a related matter the committee recommended the transfer of the commit­ tee’s remaining funds for this fiscal year from the County General Fund to the newly created Health Department account. The management and technical subcom­ mittees both report that work on their portions of the Solid Waste Plan has been slowed while awaiting legislative approval of the rules for Act 641. Approval of these rules is expected by mid January. Chairman Harry Adrounie reported correspondence the committee has re­ ceived, including a draft of the Ionia County Solid Waste Plan and notification that the East Marquette County Solid Waste Planning Committee is planning a legal challenge to some portions of Act 641, under provisions in the Headlee Amendment. Mr. Adrounie also announced that the Science for Citizens group at Western Michigan University has prepared a slide show on Solid Waste Management which will be available for public presen­ tations. Also committee member Wayne Miller announced that Baltimore Township was in the process of withdrawing from mem­ bership in the Johnstown-Barry-Hope Transfer Station. He cited expense and convenience as the reasons for this action. The next full committee meeting is set for january 7 at the Health Department offices in Hastings and, as always, is open to the public. Are you the Mutual Home type?

The money you all do­ nated not only helped the Jaycees with future projects, but also helped us to donate $230.00 to the Fire Department toward the Jaws-of-Life fund drive. We apologize for not always being there when you were looking for a tree. Hopefully next year we will have more trees and do a better job of being there to sell them I would like to thank everyone who supported the Jaycees, especially Leona Rock for the use of the old Dairy Dip lot for a selling point, and Clarence Scott for his electricity. I would like to thank Jaycees Mark Bishop and Ray Blough for being on my committee for this project, also Jaycees Butch VanBemden, Steve Biermacher, Jack Kramer, Ken Hunter, Steve Gulch, Jeff Price, Randy Eggers. Steve Tripp, Scott Tripp and Mark Cisler for their help cutting, hauling and selling the trees. It required many thankless hours for this project.

Or 100 % of compensation, which­ ever is less. And more good news. Your interest will be tax-deferred, your deposits are insured by the FDIC and you can even make deposits as often as you wish.

This fall's testing showed a continuing pattern of growth on the part of TK students. The test measures reading and math skills for fourth, seventh and tenth grade students. At the fourth grade, in math, 75% of the students scored in the highest category of achievement, while 83% of the students achieved the highest category in reading. In the seventh grade, 84% of the stu­ dents were in the highest category of read­ ing. with 65% of the seventh grade achiev ing that level in math. In reading, at the tenth grade 87% of the students scored in the highest category while 63% made the highest level in math. Overall the results this year reflect a pattern of continued improvement by Thomapple Kellogg students on the Michisan Assessment Test. For example, in 1974, the first year of this type of assessment test, only 50% of the seventh grade students scored in the highest level of reading, while 23% scored in the lowest level of reading. 1981 results found 83% of the seventh grade students in the highest level of reading, with no students in the lowest level of reading. This pattern of improvement is reflect­ ed in both reading and math, at all grade levels, over the last eight years of testing. Complete copies of the Michigan Assessment results for Thornapple Kellogg Schools are available at the TK Adminis­ tration office. The Middleville Womens Reading Club sponsored the Blood Bank on January 8 at the V.F.W. Hall. Despite terrible weather. 65 donors came during the day. Sandra Sharp. Dwight Wester and .

TK Boosters 112th YEAR * NUMBER 2 The Sun and News wishes to announce that beginning March 1, 1982, the subscription rates will increase to $8.00 per year for local subscribers and $ 10.00 for all other subscriptions. We desire to have no part in creating more inflation in our lives, but we cannot continue to “hold the line’’ when every­ thing that goes into our newspaper increases in cost. The last increase in our subscription rate was in 1978. The announcement of the increase has been made at this early date to allow everyone who desires to renew (or subscribe new) at the current rate of $6.00 per year (for residents of Barry'. Kent or Allegan counties). As we said in 1978: “Our older readers who find themselves on a fixed income have our special concern, and we hope this increase will not be too much of a burden. But, if we cannot keep the newspaper on a paying, sound financial basis, then its very existence is threatened. If our readers stay with us during this price increase, then we know they still want a local newspaper to serve them.” In the four years that have passed since we wrote those words, the newspaper has been well received and has shown a circula­ tion increase. We are grateful for this acceptance and pledge continued service to our community. Don Boysen, Editor (See Page 11 for Subscription Form) Thomas Crane, Joyce Domire. Nancy Frost. Velma Glass.

The movie is a dramatic portrayal of what could happen when Jesus Christ re­ turns. This suspenseful story centers around Patty Meyers (played by Patty Dunning Risinger), a young woman caught up in living for the present, with little concern atxjut the future. What happens when this thinking finally catches up with her provides an action-packed, un­ forgettable drama. The fast-moving pace evolves into increasingly tense moments as the Rapture predicted in Bible prophecy takes place, leaving Patty in a world which forces her to make a choice: either for a life of fleeing the inevitable sufferings and death; or for Unite, a new world government which rejects Jesus Christ and forces citizens to receive the “mark” warned against by God. Suspense builds to a CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE • thought-provoking climax as Patty If children live with criticism, they’ learn to condemn. faces the consequences of her choice.

EIGHTH GRADERS OPEN BASKETBALL SEASON • Lose to Hamilton The Eighth Grade Trojan basketball team opened the 1981-2 season with a 3128 loss to Hamilton. The game was close the entire way. but the Trojans could not pull it out. The Trojans trailed by only a point at the end of the first quarter. 8-7, but Hamilton increased the lead at halftfme to 16-14. The Troians came out after half time and were able to reduce the lead back to one point by the end of the third quarter 20-19. During the fourth quarter, the Trojans lookd as though they might pull the game out. With a little more than three minutes to play, the Trojans, for the first time in the game, were able to take the lead. They could not hold it, however, as they made a number of mistakes during the closing seconds and Hamilton held on for the victory. The Trojans played well for the first game of the season. Hamilton was already 3-0 for the year, but first game mistakes make a big difference in the game. Lead­ ing the Trojans and playing an exceptional game was Mike Myers with 20 points, followed by Brad Barnard and John Moretti with 3 points and Jim Vandenberg with 2. Defeat Kelloggsville The Eighth grade team evened their re­ cord to 1-1 by defeating Kelloggsville 3624 on January 8. The Trojans started slow but were able to build a 12-6 first quarter lead which they increased to 22-10 at halftime. The Trojans substituted freely during the game as the outcome was never really in question. The Trojans blew the game wide open during the third quarter by outscoring Kelloggsville 14-2. The Trojan bench finished up the game with many players getting into the scoring column. Leading the Trojan scoring was Mike Myers with 15 points, Jim Vandenberg 6; Brad Barnard and John Moretti with 4 points each; Jerry Steele and Rich VanMalsen each with 2, and Greg Corri­ gan, Greg Newman, Mike Blair all with 1 point apiece.

One name says it best. by Jim T. “To say we were fortunate would be an understatement.” Those were the words of Trojan Varsity coach Skip Pranger referring to his team's narrow 46-45 victory over Kelloggsville last Friday night. Pranger blamed the close call on bad shooting and an overall poor perfor­ mance which might have stemmed from the Trojans’ rest over Christmas break. The game went into overtime with the score knotted at 45 apiece after Kelloggs­ ville missed their only free throw of the night with two seconds left in regular time. This miss was only the second all season for that particular Kelloggsville player. Marty Sinke Takes 1st at Invitational Middleville's wrestling team traveled to Wyoming Park on Saturday and placed fourth behind Wyoming Park, East Kent­ wood and Cedar Springs. The Trojans’ only champion was Marty Sinke at 112 pounds. Marty had two pins and a 4-2 win for first place. Dave Sensiba, 119. and Paul Fifelski, heavyweight, made it to the finals but had to settle for 2nd places. Chris Yonkers picked up three wins on his way to placing third at 155 lbs. Jack Posthumus, 98; Terry Sensiba 126; and Jamie Schierbeek, 138: each placed fourth at their weights. The Trojans will be at home against Hamilton on Thursday, January 14 (tonight). The J Vs will start about 6:45 with the varsity to follow around 7:15. Veriinde Trojan Brian Miller put Middleville on top for good when he scored on a free throw for the only point scored in over­ time. Sophomore Dave Perry led the Tro­ jan squad with 18 [joints and eight re­ bounds. while Steve Scott picked up nine assists. Middleville hit on 21 of 58 shots from the field and connected 33% of their free throws The Rockets dropped 44% of their field goal attempts and missed only one of six free throws. Tomorrow the Trojans will travel north to defend their 3-1 league record against neighboring rival Caledonia. Coach Pranger and company hope to see you there. Junior Varsity Evens League Record With Win by Jim T. Veriinde The Trojan Junior Varsity hoopers raised their league record to 2 2 after de­ feating Kelloggsville 42-31 last Friday Coach Jim Sprague credited the second stringers with the victory as they came off the bench in the fourth quarter to turn a deficit into a game-winning lead Chris Wingeier led Trojan scorers with 12 points, while Scott Noffke grabbed 11 rebounds to lead that department. The majority of the assists were provided by Tim Heffner The JV Trojans will face Caledonia tomorrow on the Scots’ home court. USE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDSI BEAT THE COLD!!

They automatically will be connected to a Cus­ tomer Information Representative Using a video computer terminal, these representatives nave immediate access to a customer's billing information. These specially trained employees are equipped to handle inquiries about life line rates or any other billing problem, Mabin said. “With the help of the computer, the employees are able to resolve lifeline rate questions and problems, help customers select the appropriate rate, or make any other necessary changes," Mabin said “There isn’t a lot of red tape, like some customers might think.

The Scots rebounding trio of Larry Postma 12, Todd Marsman 12 and Mike Mitchell 10 kept the ball game in control of the Caledonia five. Coach Folkert was extremely pleased with the team’s play and particularly the bench. “Games are saved by the bench and they need playing time to develop. Earlier in the season they played and now it is beginning to show.” Several Scots came off the pines and gave excel­ lent performances. Forward Todd Colvin had 10 points while Pete Graham had 6 points and 5 rebounds. Forwards Brad Harrison and Chad Creasey each added 6 and 5 points. Guard Ron Schultz kept his free throw percentage for the season at 80% by hitting two from the charity stripe.

If you have any questions, call Norma at 795-9715, Pre arranged Funerals In recent years, there has been a greatly increased interest in pre-arranged funeral services. People are realizing the need to record their wishes on funeral services for themselves. They recognize that this takes away the difficult burden of decision-making later during the hour of need and assures the family of doing the right things within proper bud­ gets. For some time, this funeral home has recognized the needs and desires of thinking persons to plan ahead. I have developed ways of assisting those who wish to make arrangements in advance. Our funeral home has quite a lot of families who have so re­ corded their plans and wishes with us. They appreciate the oppor­ tunity to make these wishes known. Most people have definite ideas about the services they wish for themselves: specific details such as the minister, the music' and Scripture readings, flowers, costs, etc. They don’t have to pre-plan their funerals, but they know it’s a good feeling when it’s done and the family won’t have to worry about it! There are three reasons to pre-plan your funeral Economy — You can save money when you pre-plan by stipu­ lating only as much in service and merchandise as you wish. Personal Choices - You can choose your own clergyman, music, scripture and the kind of service, down to the smallest detail. Inner Security - It is a weight off your mind, knowing that your arrangements are complete, and the costs will not be a burden to your family. I invite you to visit or call about pre-planning your funeral ser­ vice. There are no costs or obligations, and you don’t even have to pre-pay your funeral to have your wishes made known.

Bill Rich, McFall Principal wrote a proposal in early December and McFall received a federal grant of $2,900 to adopt the TJES.A. model. Ten McFall staff members involved in an interinstitutional workshop will pilot T.E5A. during the second semester. The TTS.A. model incorporates many aspects of proven, successful teaching methods which are shared with staff members during five training sessions throughout the semester, geared towards raising the teacher’s expectations of each and every student in the class. Following each training session, every teacher in the program will be released for half a day to observe four other teachers working with the model. Teachers will then meet following each round of observations to discuss the implementation of each phase of the model. �TK Menus Page 10 / January 14, 1982 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan Week of January 18 Elementary High/Middle School Monday: Goulash, peas/spinach, Monday: Turkey in gravy on potatoes, sandwich. fruit, milk. orange or fruit punch, roll. milk.

Such a storm, wind. snow, cold folks are staying in and really thankful to be there. Charles Ogden, a nephew to Guy, w?s over from Kalamazoo one afternoon. It began to storm when he was here, so he hurried on home. He had dinner with his relative at Court Street Grill. I didn’t venture out in the storm, though Fem and Charles did take me down to Larry’s Saturday evening. Wade just returned from Pennock and it was also his 13th birthday, so we had cake with him.

With 680 million people in India, there's a good market for milk and food. The milk producer gets about $30 per litre. A number of people asked me what life is ‘really’ like in a third world country when I visited home in August this year. I’ll try to describe it. but it will probably take more than one article to do this job adequately, so more may follow. Practically all water is still drawn from open wells with a bucket and rope, includ ing at the house I live in. Some villages have piped water with 4-6 stand pipes lo­ cated around the village. The village's populations I'm working in range from 150-2000. most around 600. Clothes are washed by hand, including my own, which isn’t easy. To take a bath you get water from the well with bucket and rope, then go to a small room about 4 ft. square and with a dipper pour the water over yourself. There are very few toilets; in most villages there are designated areas in near­ by fields for men and women. I hope I’m not getting too personal here, but, the first rule you learn is that the right hand is used for all bodily functions above the navel and the left for all those bodily functions below the navel. If you get my drift, at every call of nature you take a small can of water to the designated area to clean yourself with, with the appropriate hand. Toilet paper is available and is used, but for the most part the method I described is the common one. Cooking is done mainly over wood fires. India is very close to running out of wood, too. There are also kerosene stoves, that’s what our house uses. The hardest thing for me to grasp after being here three months is just what it takes to organize and manage a nation with 680 million people. The bus and passenger train systems aren’t bad, but there are just a lot of people. However. I have seen many billboards and advertise­ ments that point out the benefit of having only 2 children, so India is aware of it and I would say working quite hard on the population issue. This just really scratches the surface, I know, but I hope it gives you some idea of what it feels like working here. I have sent a few pictures to my parents which present a good picture. Some of you might be wondering why on earth I am spending my time doing this kind of work. Sometimes I wonder that too. It takes a lot to change habits and demonstrate alternative ways to get things done. Well. I'm not doing this out of any guilt that I owe something to poor people but because I'm still interested in agriculture. I could either be farming in Michigan or teaching farmers who still do not have access to hybrid seed or the tech­ nological knowledge of the West, how these could be used. I don’t mean the answer to improving the quality of life here is machines, but something like roller bearings and rubber tires instead of wooden wheels with no bearings on bul­ lock carts would make a big difference. And I guess I would rather tell my grand­ children that I worked at delivering appro­ priate inventions and services to the rural setting than say that I never missed a milking in 15 years. I would welcome any feedback about this article, even though Middleville is a long way away, I still consider it my home. I think there is something important about the community and home one spends his/her first 20 years in that never leaves a person. When I was home in August it seemed like everything is moving up on the high­ way. Changes and challenges are present anywhere one lives today, it seems. And it seems like the responsibility to care for a community is in local people’s hands, not anywhere else. Looking forward to hearing from Middleville folks.

Gilmer Decries MESC Office Closings Charging that the closing of 19 MESC office in Michigan “serves no one’s best interest.” State Representative Don Gil­ mer said he will urge the Michigan con­ gressional delegation to seek reinstatement of some of these offices during the federal budget review in March. “Job placement services will be elimi­ nated for more than half of those now looking for work through the MESC This massive closure will drastically curtail services to those who need it most.” Gilmer said. “The closing of these 19 ME SC offices comes at a time when Michi­ gan is experiencing one of its highest periods of unemployment ever Our poor and jobless will be faced with even greater hardships in their attempt to find work.” Claimants who normally utilize ser­ vices provided by the MESC offices to be closed will now have to report to offices in surrounding locations The average round trip transportation costs for those affected by the closings will amount to a total of nearly $200,000 in added expense every two weeks This news is devastating," Gilmer said. “The MESC has long provided a valuable service but now with 19 offices closing unemployed workers will have an even harder time finding jobs.” CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO Caledonia Boosters Seek Aid for Debt Caledonia fans are asked to help bum the building mortgage on the Caledonia Concession stand.

MESC Closings (continued) The MESC closings will result in total elimination of the Work Incentive (WIN) program as the MESC will shut down all of its 23 WIN offices in the state. Some 19,133 Michigan A FIX? recipients had been assisted by WIN in finding work during the last fiscal year, amounting to a savings of nearly $70 million in the state welfare budget. “This is a significant savings.” Gilmer said, “and I hope we can find a way to restore this worthwhile program.’’ In addition to the office closings and elimination of the WIN program, the MESC will be forced to lay off more than 750 additional employees. When added to layoffs absorbed by the department last September, a total of more than 1,750 MESC employees have now lost their jobs. “It’s a shame these offices, programs and workers have to go. My constituents can. however, be assured that I will be doing all in my power and using all re­ sources at my disposal to work toward an expedient resolution of a situation that only adds to Michigan’s economic woes,” Gilmer concluded Elton Smith Elected AFB Vice President Elton R.

Trojans Top Caledonia in Overtime Battle The JV Trojan basketball team looked as if they had their Fighting Scot oppo­ nents under control for three quarters, but were forced to redeem themselves in overtime after a fourth quarter Caledonia rally. Middleville led 43-34 going into the final period, but could only manage a 50-50 tie after regular time. The Trojans, however, halted the Scot momentum in overtime to win 55-50. Freshman Steve Miller proved to be the most valuable player for the Trojans in this contest as he hit on nine of 17 from the floor, went six for seven at the free throw line, and pulled down seven rebounds. Chris Wingeier also had an excellent game, connecting on six of 13 field goal attempts and sinking three of five free throws. Rob Ward and Tim Heffner provided the strength of the passing game as they combined for 13 assists, while Brian Kaechele proved to be intimidating on defense. The JV hoopers will host Comstock Park in the Trojans’ sixth league game WESTERN AUTO Associate Store in Caledonia Loyd and Sheila Elwood, Owners • 9870 Cherry Valley Ave., M-37 PHONE 891-1484 ALL BATTERIES ★ In Stock ★ Discount Prices �The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan / January 21, 1982 / Page 7 Trojans Outshoot Scots; Continue in Tie for First by Jim T. Verlinde It took a third quarter rally for the Middleville basketball squad to victimize the Fighting Scots of Caledonia in an honest-to-goodness all-out-hustle basket­ ball game last Friday night. The Trojans outscored their opponent 16-7 in the third quarter enroute to the 66-59 victory. “In the second half, the tempo was the big thing.” stated Trojan coach Skip Pranger. according to Pranger. the removal of upcourt pressure by the Trojans forced the Scots to set up for scoring opportuni­ ties thus deadening the potent Caledonia running game. Middleville out-rebounded their rivals 43-33, 26 of which came off the com­ bined efforts of Bill Schwartz and Jeff Kerber. The Trojans shot an improved 41 per cent from the floor compared to 34 percent for the Fighting Scots. The TK efforts from the charity stripe, however, were dismal as Middleville hit on only six of 14. Brian Miller led the Trojans with 17 points, while Jeff Kerber collected 14. Steals played a big part in the Orange victory as Jim Schipper swiped eight and Brian Miller matched six. Tomorrow the Trojans will entertain the Panthers of Comstock Park within the confines of the TK High gym. The Trojans are now tied for first in the OK Blue and hope that you will be on hand to help them remain there. HONOR CHS GIRLS B.B. TEAM A HIGHLIGHT of the evening last Friday night at the halftime of the Middleville-Caledonia basketball game, was the fan recognition of their outstanding Caledonia Girls Basketball team. Each of the players and their coach was introduced, as C. Scott’s photo above depicts.

The thermometer was stuck at minus ten for most of the time as cars, pipes and people froze up. We had ‘rain* in the bathroom Sunday morning as a pipe to the upstairs bath could no longer contain itself and sprung a leak’ (that happened to you, too? I don’t think even misery loves that kind of company!) We re sure that many folks discovered ingenious new ways to that out cold and stiff parts on their cars.

ADVERTISING PROMOTIONAL SHEETS Taxpayers who plan on filling in their own 1040A federal income tax returns this year may discover it’s not as difficult as they thought, the Internal Revenue Service said. The 1040A return is a two-page form which contains 18 lines on the first page, and comes with step-by-step instructions on how to complete it. On page two of the form is a section that should be com pleted to declare any interest and dividends amounting to more than $400 The IRS added that any interest from qualified “All Savers” Certificates should be de­ clared as well, regardless of the amount. Although the 1040A form is shorter than the standard 1040 form, the IRS points out that it’s not for everyone. Form 1040A can only be used by tax­ payers whose income consists of wages, salaries, tips, interest, difidends and unemployment compensation for the taxable year. Form 1040A filers must also have taxable incomes of less than $$0,000 If the taxpayer is planning on itemizing deductions, claiming adjustments to in­ come tax, or taxing advantage ot most tax credits, the IRS stresses that the standard 1040 should be used. By letting taxpayers declare interest and dividends on their 1040A forms, the IRS said more people will now be able to take advantage of the shorter format. Also, the IRS explained, taxpavers using Form 1040A can claim Earned Income Credit and Credit for Contributions to Candidates for Public Office. The IRS has over 90 free publications available to taxpayers on various tax mat­ ters.

The basket was not counted and Randy left the game with 5 fouls. Bill Goodman’s try for a basket at the buzzer just missed and the Scots claim­ ed the victory.

Nowadays, to many that is a process which takes too long. They try to establish community confi­ dence quickly by public relations techniques - “I am a good fellow because it says so right here in my publicity.” But con­ fidence lasts only as long as it is backed by real service, fair dealing and a sincere feeling for those in bereavement. Have we achieved that kind of trust and confidence? That is for those who have used our services to say and there is only one meaningful way for them to say it. With deep feelings of grati­ tude, we note that they have done so.

She has lived in Arizona the past several years with Karen, but am sure she always considered Middleville and the Prairie as ‘home.’ Lee Piccard of Anchorage, Alaska, who lived with the Penders for a few years while he was going to school here, hap­ pened to be in town the past weekend, so could be with the family at this time. Prairie Congratulations to Fred and Letha Buckingham who celebrated their 50th anniversary on Sunday. Good going! Cindy Green of Dowagiac spent last week with her grandmother, Florence Kaechele. Florence went with relatives to attend memorial services for her son Jack in Lansing last week. Overnight guests at the Dave Enders home on Saturday were Dean Petersen of Adrian and his niece Kim of Grand Rapids. Tom, Brenda and Lindsay Bremer visited Saturday night also. It’s nice having close neighbors when you can’t drive anywhere! Alice Steiner and I were at Norma Velderman’s on Wednesday night for what we hope is the beginning of a ouilting club. I’m hardly a quilter, but like to see BILLIE’S “Beauty Sotau ( what others have done and get in on the exchange of ideas. The group is going to meet in the afternoon one day in Febru­ ary - well let you know when, and any­ one interested in quilting is welcome Sunday guests at the Wilbur Klump home were the George Foote family, who also plowed out the driveway for the folks. Neighbors Bob and Helen Wenger hosted a luncheon for family and friends following Daisy Pender’s funeral Monday afternoon. Judy Harmon got a day-early birthday present when one of their pigmy goats presented them with a little billy on Sun­ day morning. Not only was it ‘‘early”, the birth was totally unexpected - by all but the mother, of course! Appropriately, the familt named the new kid “Blizzard.” Grandchildren Bill and Christy Bremer spent Thursday night and Friday at our house and we had a nice time together. Their family, Ken, Vicky and Nicholas, came for supper and to pick them up Fri­ day and endeed up spending the night. As it was, it was a nervous adventure for them to get back to Moline cm Saturday morning. Am sure glad they didn't attempt it at night. Jodi Van Rhee was happy to get the cast off her leg last Thursday. Katie Wieringa reports that her mother, Bertha Sheehan, is a tiny bit improved. Sunday the ‘Davis Road’ relatives came for dinner at our house Mike. Kathy and Brett Bremer from across the street and Fred and Alice Steiner from next door. Actually, the roads weren’t all that drifted, but the ice underneath was (and is) something else! It’s unbelievable that January is almost over - but thank goodness it is! Let’s just pray that forecaster who said March would be even worse is 100 percent wrong!

Middle School Counselor School phono 795-3349 or 795-3340 Back-to-schooi blues are normal for children from age 6 to 18, but if avoidance and hesitation continue beyond the first few autumn weeks parents should take note, says a psychiatrist who has done ex­ tensive research on the causes and treat- • me nt of “school phobia.” It is a syndrome that can be so trauma­ tic that some children will accept any reprimand or punishment rather than at­ tend class, explains Dr. Rachel Gittleman of the New York State Psychiatric Insti­ tute. “The term, ‘school phobia’ is mislead ing,” she points out. “because we have found through clinical study that these kids are not afraid of teachers, blackboards or the school building itself. They suffer from extreme separation anxiety; they're terribly frightened to leave home.” Ms. Gittleman said this separation anxiety could be so severe as to cause physical symptoms, such as dizziness, nausea and migraine headaches. “Parents must listen and watch children closely.” she said. “Kids arc not always able to express emotions directly. If child­ ren become physically ill at the thought of attending school, they obviously are suffering.” Some children, she adds, may VW* I B* > threaten to hurt themselves, or even kill themselves Working with school-phobic children at the non-profit Psychiatric Institute. Ms. Gittleman and colleagues found that separation anxiety could have physical, rather than emotional roots. Children at the Psychiatric Institute’s Child and Adolescent Depression Clinic were treated with psychotherapy, which was success­ ful in many instances. In the cases where psychotherapy failed however, the researchers found that 60 percent of these children were able to re­ sume normal school careers after bioche­ mical separation anxiety was treated with medication. The medication successfully alleviated the physical symptoms that motivated the fear of school. “Separation anxiety can be a biochemi­ cal reaction," Ms. Gittleman said. “Overprotective or fearful parents may cause a child's separation anxiety. But in many instances, the parents are not to blame. Moving to a new neighborhood, death of a relative, or divorce also can stimulate separation anxiety .” Next week: Part two of “School Phobia” signals childhood problem.

Steve Ellis has been seated as the seventh member of the Thomapple Kel­ logg Board by unanimous vote over James Thomas. This is a shoddy way to go, after Thomas defeated Ellis by a couple hund­ red votes in the last election. This is a good example of why there can not be any trust m anything the School Board or School Administration say or do What are the wives of the School Board doing? Two are substitute teachers, one is a teacher, one works in the Thomapple kellogg office. Who’s protecting the home front? In fact, we probably could have hired Superinten­ dent for less money if opening had been announced instead of handing it over on a platter and shelling out the money. I’m to the point of voting no on all millage, even renewal. After being jumped on by Editor and others about law and order etc., there is a 35 mph sign going up hill past Lescoa instead of 25 mpg. Last I knew, it still is posted 45 mph past the Thomapple Kellogg High School to Finkbeiner Road, then 35 mph for a ways before dropping to 25 mpg going east Think of all the kids walking and the busses on that stretch of road 1 guess Olive isn’t interest­ ed in that kind of bus safety. About the most wierd thing I saw in 1981 was meeting the radar car parked on the curve on East Main and going further, stopped at Grand Rapids Street. (Hope Editor does each and every time) then finding a truck on Tire down town, with fire truck parked on main street fighting fire with no police to direct traffic in case of necessity. Donald W.

Every adult should take a youngster to the circus with them - it’s so much more fun. The only thin g that puzzled me was the camels and llamas we saw when we walked through the animal parade on the way in. I kept waiting for their act, but it never came. They were just ’along for the ride’ I guess. Sympathy to Fred and Letha Bucking­ ham on the death of Letha’s brother, Milton Bauman, on Monday.

If we think winter is bad for us, listen to how the ‘southerners have to cope with winter when it reaches down there. “ . the buildings down here are not built for such cold weather, so , schools were called of! because they' couldn’t heat them warm enough, plus the water pressure got so low due to broken water mams and people leaving faucets running.

Marty drew a bye in the first round, then had a 2nd round pm and added a 16-4 win in the finals over Bill Johncock of Delton. His performance in a tough weight class was impressive enough to be voted by the coaches as the outstanding wrestler of the tournament. Dave Sensiba was equally impressive as he picked up pins in the 1st and 2nd rounds and a 10-1 victory in the finals. TK Defeats Caledonia 36-26 On Thursday.

Verlinde On Tuesday. January 26, the Trojan Varsity hoopers buried the Bulldogs of Byron Center to set the stage for last Friday’s battle for first place against Hudsonville. And the town of Middle­ ville had no intention of watching their team fall from that spot as a standing­ room-only crowd cheered the Trojans on to a 52-47 victory. Last week’s win allowed the Trojans to remain on top of the OK Blue, tied only with Hamilton. The TK Varsity still must play Hamilton twice before the end of the season. The play of Trojan guards Steve Scott and Jim Schipper proved to be a vital part of the win. Scott led all scorers with 19. 11 of which came in the final quarter. TK Middle School Basketball Seventh Grade Moretti 10, Jerry Steele 8, Brad Barnard 6, Mike Myers 4, Brian Smith 2. TK 35 - Comstock Park 25 The TK Seventh grade basketball team defeated Comstock Park in the last regu­ lar season game 35-25. The team ended the regular season with a 5-win and Hoss record. At the half, the score was tied 18-18. In the second half the Trojans pulled away to gain the victory. Randy Stickney scored a game high 18 points followed by Doug Fox 4. Bill Goodman 2. Mark Verlinde 2. Dan Davis 2, Dave Lynch 2, Mark Tasher 2, Yoe Yates 2 and Greg Wilshire 1. Stickney, Fox. Davis and Tasher dominated the boards which was the key to the victory. OK Blue Jr. High Tournament In the first game of the tournament the Trojans had to meet Comstock Park. In this game, Comstock Park was never really in the game as they fell behind 15-10 at the half. The Trojans opened a 15 point lead in the second half and finally won 39-24 Randy Stickney again turned in a fine performance scoring 20 points, followed by Dave Lynch 4. Davis 3. Goodman 2. Dan Demorrow 2. Doug Fox 3, Tasher 2, Jason Sutherland 2, Doug DeVries 1. In the second game of the OK Blue Jr. High Tournament the Trojans met the Byron Center Bulldogs. In the previous meeting the Trojans defeated the Bulldogs by 4. The Troians were never m the game in the first half as Byron Center jumped to a 12-4 lead at the half. Randy Stuknev sat the bench for most of the first half as he was called for 3 questionable fouls in the first half. Rod Innes filled in for Randy in the remainder of the half. The Bulldogs were not able to extend the lead and in the second half the Trojans started to play ball. They came roaring back and at the end of the third quarter were down 14-12. The last quarter was a bam burner as the Trojans scored 10 points and the Bulldogs 6 for a final score of 22-20. The Trojans then advanced to the finals but were defeated by Caledonia 26-25 in overtime. Eighth Grade OK Blue Jr. High Tournament The Eighth Grade Trojan basketball team played one of their best games of the year on January 26 against Comstock Park in the first round of the OK Blue Junior High Tournament, defeating Comstock Park 30-20. The Trojans jumped on Comstock Park quick by executing their offence, defense and press according to the book. The Tro­ jans held a 10-3 first quarter lead but slipped a little in the second to hold a 14-11 halftime lead. As the second half began, the Trojans came out playing Idee they had. and all but put the game away. Leading the Trojan scoring was John Caledonia The 8th grade Basketball team was de­ feated in the second round of the OK Blue tournament by Byron Center 19-12. The game was a total disaster on the part of the young Trojans. They seemed to be able to do nothing right, but were still able to take a 8-5 halftime lead after scoring only 2 points in the first quarter. As the Trojans started the second half they con­ tinued to make mistakes and found them­ selves trailing by three at the end of the third quarter. They were still not out of the ball game going into the closing minutes, but could not score a basket, ending up again scoring only 2 points in th< final quarter. Scoring for the Trojans were Jerry Steel and Mike Myers with 5 points each, and John Moretti with 4. The lose evens the Trojans record at 44.

The FaraBones Institute is a non profit or­ ganization begun in 1969 by several north­ ern Californians who were interested in low impact, non-reaource-intensive living espe­ cially in the city A two-story Victorian build­ ing m Berkeley. California — which has been re­ modeled inside and out—is their proving ground. The structure, called the Integral Ur­ ban House, is no longer merely a dwelling it's the nucleus of a mim-ecoeystem in which rabbits, chickens, fish, honeybees, plants, mi­ crobes. and people interact in a flourishing ex­ ample of interrelated self reliance The variety of fruits and vegetables raised on the home's 125' X 60' lot is nothing short of sstounding There are raised beds of vegetables scattered about the yard, and plots of herbs and perennials near the kitchen In addition, dwarf fruit trees-espabered to a wall of the house -provide lemons, plums, and three kinds of apples I UH staffers use no chemical fertilizers to bring forth this bounty of luscious ed­ ibles. Rather, a one- meh -deep layer of compost —made from kitchen garbage, rabbit manure, grass clippings, sawdust, and other wastes—is maintained on the garden s beds To further make the point that anyone, even apartment dwellers, can grow their own food. Integral House residents have created a rooftop garden consisting sole­ ly of containers filled with pure compost. All together, about 15 chickens—layers and fryers-inhabit the Institute s urban homestead Four hens live in a "composting house on the roof, where the birds layeggs and produce rich manure for the compost heaps The remaining cluckers are kept at ground level on the shady north side of the building. Some 10 to 20 rabbits are also housed on the structure s shady side. (The rabbits and chickens provide a couple of hundred pounds of animal protein a year.) Bees are another ideal variety of city "livestock". They 're quiet, take care of them­ selves. and don't need to be fed (at least not often) The Integral Urban House has two hives located on a platform high above the fish pond Recycling is important at IUH. As a result, almost nothing is "thrown away". Milk cartons, paper bags, scraps of paper, even garbage, human wastes, and dirty water are recycled right on the premises Human wastes are composted, but not in the usual bins. Instead, the wastes decom­ pose inside a waterless toilet which local authorities have allowed to be used on an ex­ perimental basis (One resident figures that the entire IUH household uses only as much water as the average family does just in flushing their toilet during a day!) The sun s energy heats the home s water and. by shining through south-facing win­ dows. provides a degree of passive solar heating during the day Also, one bathroom sports a bottle wall”. made up of one-gallon glass jugs, filled with ink blackened wa­ ter and supported in rows inside the windows The jugs serve as heat sinks, absorbing the sun's rays. So. you see. it it possible to live a more self-reliant, ecologically sound lifestyle, even when you have close city neighbors The Integral Urban House proves it.

February 11) for 748 customers in the Middle­ ville area. Power will be interrupted from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. west of M-37 in Middleville to the Patterson Road county line, north to Duncan Lake Road and south to Barlow Lake. Bill Mabin from the Battle Creek office of Consumers Power re­ ported that the company will be installing in-line boosters that will provide sufficient power when Channel 17 station begins broadcasting. The new TV station is being built on Davis Road just west of Cherry Valley. The company chose the afternoon time span because Middleville schools will be out of session, and the power will be returned in time for evening electrical power needs. Middleville water pumping facilities and the WOTV transmission tower will be maintained by auxiliary generators during the company’s shutdown.

She can be contacted during the day at her office at the apartment building (795-7715) or in the evening at her home (795-3618). Personal interviews and private tours of the facility can be arranged.

Started in 1968, the group began by helping to buy shoes and boots for school children who were in need of them. Through the years, local victims of fire and other disasters have also been helped by Churches United. Since most of the moneys collected the past few years have been the result of the TK Student Council’s Christmas acti­ vities, it was decided to turn over the re­ maining money ($1660.88) to the TK Boosters. There was also a donation of $300 made to the Special Education extracurricular activities at Thomapple Kellogg. obituaries NAOMI L.

All letter* mu*t be but names w*H be withheld for good reason and at the discretion of the newvxper View* express ed in thi* column are not necessar<ty those of The Sun and New*. We are writing to commend the bus drivers of the Caledonia Schools for their intelligence and concern for the safety of the children of our school district. These drivers, who seldom receive any recognition for the super job they do. transporting our children safely each day, are now being punished for their concern. Although these drivers receive extensive training and testing to attain their job and many have several years experience, their opinions mean little to our administration. On January 25 our drivers, after travel­ ing to school from various areas of the district, felt the icy conditions were un­ safe to travel and transport children These conditions caused many schools in our area to cancel classes for the day. Our administration felt that school should be in session and expected the drivers to go against their good judgement. These drivers take the responsibility of approximately 70 children per trip four times a day and all the hazards that go with it. Consider yourself behind the wheel of a bus loaded with children, driv­ ing on ice and trying to stop for a pickup. Then consider the cars that cannot stop and the children that are a little too close to the edge of the road. We would like to know how the administration would handle the situation and how they would deal with the tragedy that could result. Who would take the responsibility for an acci­ dent? The drivers who didn’t feel they should be out anyway*1 These drivers received certified letters stating they would not be paid for the day and could be discharged for failure to per­ form their assigned duties in the future. Six drivers, due to schedules, bus routes and roads, arrived later. They did not re­ ceive a letter and will be paid for the day, no matter how they felt. This is ludicrous. We believe the administration is making a blatant attempt to show their authority and little respect for the experts they have given the responsibility of our children. We ask the administration, is one day of school worth the life of a child? Is it worth a smashed bus or injured driver and what that person may have to live with? Are you ready to take the respon­ sibility totally for each child in the district? That child could be yours if they were in school. Again, thank you to the terrific bus drivers for their concern for our children. Keep up the good work. Concerned Parents Lee and Judy Purdy Greg and Jan Nicholas RETIRES FROM WOOLCO Mrs. Lois Bacon, a lifetime resident of Middleville, has retired from Woolco De­ partment Store at Eastbrook Mall in Grand Rapids after fourteen years of ser­ vice. Lois started at Woolco one week before the store officially opened on August 24, 1967 and has worked the domestics department, millinery, register, ladies wear, and has helped in the jewelry department. Lois says upon retiring “I’m going to miss the hustle and bustle, meeting new people, and especially my co-workers some of whom I’ve worked with since the store opened. It’s almost like my second home. Lois was honored by fellow workers on December 31 at the store restaurant with a cake decorated as a Woolco store. She received a certificate of appreciation for her faithful yean at Woolco, a diamond W card which entitles her to a discount at all Woolco stores, an engraved locket and other useful gifts.

Boosters Thank Bottle Donators The TK Boosters would like to thank Mr. Rich Furlong for all his help and the use of the Sav-Mor facilities as our head­ quarters during the can and bottle drive held in January. Due to the lack of volunteers, the cold weather, and other organizations aldo collecting, the Boosters were only able to collect $430, which fell far short of the goal of $1,000. The TK Boosters sincerely thank and appreciate those parents and kids who helped in the collection and sorting of the cans and bottles, as well as the people who contributed. Hopefully, our next drive, planned for the spring, will be more successful.

We watched for deer tracks or other signs of wild life but saw none on the whole trip, which is 120 miles one way. This is called the land of the Hack bear, but he of course was asleep in his lair. The train staff came through the various cars with coffee and donuts to sustain us until it was announced that it was now coach four's turn for the dining car. The galley was at the end of the diner and looked awfully small, but we need not have worried. They did a tremen­ dous job with the meals with quick service and excellent food. We got a chuckle out of their sign of “Train-made soup and chili" instead of the usual “home-made." Lundies were available from 12:30 to 3:30, and the menu offered quite a variety of fare at reasonable prices. Some of the passengers brought their own lunches, and box lunches could be ob­ tained by those who did not feel quite up to the swaying trip to the diner. Although there was no club car on the train, many carried their own booze, mix and munchies. We never tired of watching the incredible view from our window. Some of the pas­ sengers dozed, or read, or played cards or gathered in groups to sing, but not us.

Both con­ tests were good ball games with the Caledonia five falling short in the closing minute. The Hamilton contest featured some excellent out-court shooting by Ken Osborne and Mike Kalmink. The Hawkeyes outscored Caledonia by 9 points in the first half, while the Scots came back and outscored the “Hawks’’ by five points in the second half. Todd Marsman led the Caledonia scoring with 17 points while Osborne pushed in 20 for Hamilton. Junior High Basketball Wrap-up 7th Grade Boys The real shoot out occurred on Friday against Hudsonville as both teams seldom missed. In fact every Scot that took aim at the basket came away with at least a 50% shooting average for the evening. Both teams shot 58% with Jim Hirdes (29) leading the way for the Eagles, while Caledonia's scoring came from Todd Marsman (23) and the hot hand of Mike Wilson. Wilson finished the evening with a 30 pomt performance. The contest was not decided until the last eight seconds when a missed free by Denny Jonker wu fumbled out of bounds by the Scots. Put­ ting the ball in play Jonker was fouled again, this time he made good at the charity stripe for the 81-77 victory. Tomorrow night the Scots play host to Comstock Park. The game scheduled for February 16 with Wayland has been moved back to February 23 because of a conference conflict due to snow days.

MIDDLEVILLE SPORTS Trojan Wrestlers Divide to Conquer Opponents In what has to be considered an out­ standing team effort, the Trojan wrestlers were able to win 3 dual meets while losing one. Because of a mix-up in scheduling, the Trojans were to be in two different loca­ tions for matches on February 4. This gave some of the young wrestlers a chance to compete at the varsity level for the Tint time. A conference meet at Comstock Park was to take place, while a triple dual meet against Martin. South Christian and Alle­ gan was being held in Allegan. Coach Lehman chose to divide the Trojan wrestlers up, taking a team of eight regu­ lars and five JV’s to Comstock Park for the match against a tough OK Blue oppo­ nent, while Mr. Ray Page took a team of only four regulars and eight JVs to com­ pete in the triple dual. The strength and depth of the Trojans came shining through, as well as the ability to fill every weight class with quality people, lead to a successful night. In a tremendous team effort, the Troians defeated Comstock Park 38-32, while at the triple dual the team picked up a 41-33 victory over Martin and a 45-15 win over South Christian. Lack of experience lead to a 53-16 defeat at the hands of Allegan. The team’s record is now 9-4-2 over all and 4-2 in the OK Blue. The last home match of the year is a triple dual on Thursday, February 11. Matches against Godwin, Maple Valley and Plainwell will begin at 5:00, 6:30 and 8:00.

Dated February 3, 1982 VILLAGE OF CALEDONIA PLANNING COMMISSION Fair Deal ) If a man lives by the Golden Rule, others gradually come to see him as a person who deals fairly and honestly with his fellows, and a reputation develops. Nowadays, to many that is a process which takes too long. They try to establish community confidence quickly by public relations techniques - “I am a good fellow because it says so right here in my publicity.” But confidence lasts only as long as it is backed by real service, fair dealing and a sincere feeling for those in bereavement. Have we achieved that kind of trust and confidence? That is for those who have used our services to say and there is only one meaningful way for them to say it. With deep feelings of gratitude, we note that they have done so.

If you've got animate around your place, they re bound to become ill no* and then. So. veterinarian Randy Kidd has given us a few hints to pass along to help you cut down on ex­ pensive vet bills First of all. there will often be a considerable gap among fees various animal doctors charge for the same services Ask neighbors, or some­ one else who's raising backyard livestock, "who's worth it and who ain’t" Many times, a vet may be esteemed for some specialty. Your laying hens, hutch rabbits, or milk goat may call for the services of one all purpose" vet. But. if one of your prize Aire­ dales gets sick, you might take it to a small animal clink in the dty which has better facilities You can save still more time by having the patient ready befort the vet arrives. Don t wait until he or she knocks on your door to chase down the animal. If you can. put the critter indoors and have a good Light available . have a halter ready, too. And remember to provide warm water so the vet can wash his or her hands. In other words, you should try to be prepared with whatever equipment might be needed for any development It’s also a good idea to have your livestock records on hand A listless dog — with a high fever and no appetite—that s already been vaccinated for distemper, for exam­ ple. might be diagnosed differently than would such a beast that hasn t had the vaccine When the cause of an animal s trouble isn t immediately apparent, learn how to take its temperature regularly and keep a record of it until the vet arrives—or till you get the animal to the dink—so you’ll be able to tell the doctor whether it’s steady, rising. or falling Finally. make the beast as comfortable as possible, and avoid causing it any more stress than is absolutely necessary Be ready to assist your patient in any way you can. Vaccinations, worming, and normal births are typical things that, with practice, the successful animal lover should be capable of managing without professional aid. And. of course, a good veterinary guide is a must in any backyard homesteader 's reference library Prevention, though, is still the best medicine. It's important to give your charges good food, exercise, and iota of sunlight. Provide a dry. dean place for them to sleep . keep their food and water pans washed . . . and rotate your pastures or keep their quarters clear, so the creatures won't walk in manure or have only ground-level grass to eat No matter what you do. though, you're still going to need the help of a vet from time to time. And. when you do get that bill, be satisfied in the knowledge that you did all you could to help your animate, and to keep the cost to a minimum.

Brian Miller scorched the nets, hitting on seven of ten field goals for 14 of his 15 points. The Trojans, shooting 45% from the floor as a team, placed three other players in double figures.

Veriinde The frustrations of the Middleville Junior Varsity basketball team continued last Friday as they dropped another squeaker 63-61 The Trojans played com petitive basketball in the double-overtime contest, but missed crucial free throws in the dosing minutes to hand Kelloggsville the victory. The game did produce a few bright spots, however. Tim Heffner dished off 13 assists for a season high, and freshman Steve Miller continued to shine, scoring 18 points and pulling down 11 rebounds. Craig Mathiesen maintained his potent touch as he sank 56% of his shots from the floor, while collecting 23 points. As a team, the Trojans buried a fair 40% of their attempts from the floor, but created their own downfall when they dropped only seven of 21 from the free throw line.

Saturday Last Day for Taxes 112th YEAR * NUMBERS No Plans for Middleville's July Fourth Middleville most likely will not have a community celebration this coming Fourth of July. A meeting of representatives from the various organizations in the area came to that conclusion after reviewing the problems of finding leadership to put the “show on the road “ Locating someone to take charge of the Fourth activities has traditionally been a shared responsibility of the Lions Club, Jaycees and Rotary Club This year the Rotary Club was scheduled to provide the leadership, but no one would accept the job. When representatives of the group(s) met on Monday night various ideas were discussed. One idea was to have just an evening program in the stadium followed by the fireworks. This idea was rejected by a majority as not worth the effort or wouldn't attract enough people to make it financially feasible. In 1984 Middleville will be celebrating their Sesquecentennial of 150 years since its founding. Some people felt that plan­ ning for a big celebration marking that year should begin soon. This Saturday will be the last day tax payers have to pay their 1981 property taxes without penalty.

The watcher looks for suspicious people or cars and reports these to the police. Anyone who is interested in the wel­ fare of children in the Thornappie Kellogg School District may volunteer for the Community Child Watch program. If you are interested in doing so, you must at­ tend the one-hour training program and will be screened by the police for former records of child molestation Please call West Elementary School at 795-9747 or Ann Baughman at 795-7373 and another training program will be set up. �Page 2 / February 25, 1982/ The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan obituaries Doing MORE...With LESS! by the daffof _____ THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS T*4£ Hf P E ARTm NEWS *• a *■’’*£ **>d**^a** c4 THE WO ' MER EAMTH NEWS FUEL-SAVING DRIVING TIPS! Here s a bat of what we feel are the simplest—yet most effective—ways of con­ serving fuel when driving. Since these tips are designed to modify motoring habits (rather than suggesting expensive add-on equipment), they can only save you money when they ’re properly observed. • Press the accelerator down slowly when you’re starting off from a dead stop, and try to avoid pushing the pedal more than 1/4 of its full travel whenever possible • Keep your windows closed when you drive, especially when you’re traveling at highway speeds • Inflate your tires to their maximum recommended Omit. Also, if you're in the market for new tires, consider a radial-ply design—or at least a larger -diameter tire — since such items are proven fuel-savers • Always obey the 55-MPH speed bmit Actually, whenever you drive above 40 miles per hour, you not only consume extra fuel but also waste even more gasoline by forcing your auto to overcome additional wind resistance. • Try to maintain a steady road speed. The best way to maintain constant forward momentum is to avoid tailgating. • Don t let your engine idle for long periods of time when you’re warming it up. even on cold mornings. Modern cars usually require only about a minute's worth of running—at the most —before they can be driven in wintertime temperatures. • Time your driving to avoid getting caught by stoplights. On many boule­ vards. traffic control signals are purposely scheduled to the motorist's advantage assuring that by traveling at the correct—and steady —speed, he or she will have green lights all the way! • If you are stuck in a stop-and-go driving situation, you can save gasoline by shifting your automatic transmission to neutral when the car is at a standstill • Don't allow your car to idle for more than a minute in traffic If you know that you’ll be sitting in one spot for longer than 60 seconds, shut the car’s engine off • Be certain your vehicle is in top mechanical condition at all times. Keep it tuned and periodically check its points, plugs, and especially its air filter Co see if the components are in good condition. • Purchase your gasoline during the coolest times of the day. when the liquid is densest. You'll actually be getting a more concentrated gallon for your money when you fill up in the chilly hours of early morning or late evening. • Drive in a straight line whenever possible Choose the route that offers the few­ est comers and curves • Avoid pressing the accelerator to the floor when cbmbmg hills if you possibly can. You will, of course, lose momentum by going "easy " on the pedal . but if you can still maintain a safe speed, do so and save gasoline. • During the icy winter season, always scrape'the snow from your auto before starting the engine and driving off. Such frozen moisture not only offers additional wind resistance, but can add as much as a hundred pounds or more to your vehicle’s total weight! • Try to keep the fuel lank filled on the high side as a rule A fairly full fuel res­ ervoir has less evaporation loss than will a nearly empty one For FREE additional information on energy efficiency or on THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS magazine send your name and address and ask tor Reprint No 1359 Local Sett Reliance Mail to Doing MORE With LESSI.PO Box 70.

But time hasn't erased the sermon from John Dolza \ memory, for his father - Silvio stressed it as an example of the dangers of ignorance and superstition. “God made fire the enemy of wa­ ter,’’ the clergyman warned. “Great fires will make water disappear. He made water the enemy of fire; indeed much water will kill a fire. The men that try to marry fire and water in engines are sacrilegious and are working against God." “To us it sounds ridiculous, but the opposition to modem things of most of the Sicilian leaders proved to be a very, very serious handicap for many years," John Dolza says. The lesson accompanied Dolza and his engineering skills when he immigrated to the United States as a young man. He worked for General Motors for many years, then began Dolza International Engineering Credited with more than 120 inven­ tions, he lives in Fenton Through his 80 years Dolza has seen countless technological changes. But although the machines change nuclear power is on the energy fore front that steam power held a century ago - Dolza sees a disheartening similarity between his father’s time and today’s fight against nuclear pouer "The opposition to nuclear power is very very harmful," he says. “With the price of imported energy, keeping these nuclear plants from being com­ pleted is just plain criminal.” He points out that Italy paid a high price for a similar mistake long ago. when 10- and 15-year-old children were forced to work in underground sulfur mines. “These youngsters died of tuber­ culosis caused by malnutrition, no ventilation in the tunnels and sulfur dioxide.’ he says. Mean* hile. Ameri­ can ingenuity found a way to.mject steam into the ground, melt the sulfur and make it Boat through near­ by wells to aboveground collectors. This technique, besides discarding the dangerous child labor, was more economical In Italy, however, prejudice against steam power blocked the new tech­ nology. The opposition killed Italy’s sulfur industry. “When I see on television mostly young people opposing nuclear power plants. 1 realize with great sadness that ignorance is just as senous today as a century ago." he says. "Imported oil is making us poorer and poorer, and the money spent abroad comes back to buy off our land and its resources. Oil for power stations will be even more prohibitive m the future than now. “I’ve never seen anything so safe or so respectful of its surroundings as nuclear energy. I think the devel­ opers have to be congratulated for a step forward." Dolza says "If we are to follow the antinuclear power plant logic, then we would all go back to nature and live m caves. “Nuclear power does not pul smoke into the atmosphere. It does not pul sulfur dioxide into the atmos­ phere. Il does not put dust into the atmosphere We need nuclear energy “It would show the future finan­ cial disaster if this nation permits itself to lose its muscles by accepting the intimidations of ignorance.” This advertisement. which is paid forbs the shareholders of Consumers ftyuci Company is based on a letter from Mr. Dolza io John D Selby t hair­ man of Consumers Power Company.

In front of Special Feature arc Roger Schondelmayer and Jeff Hooper; and in front of Sports are (from left) Brian Verlinde. Jeff Page and Scott Curtis. Newscasters of the Future? Three - Two - One. You’re on the air. These words were repeated often as TKMS News went on the air. What made this a special show was the fact that the staff was composed of sixth graders from the TK Middle School. For three weeks, the students were in­ volved in a career awareness unit con­ cerned with the television industry. During this time, they became set designers, writers, newscasters, sportscasters, meteor­ ologists and. of course, commercial actors. All this preparation was for the big da\ the day they had to go in front of the TV camera. After a few anxious mo­ ments, the news staff was as calm as any­ one on Channels 3,8 or 41. The news staff would like to thank Bradford White for donating the card­ board used for the backdrops and, also, would like to thank all those who helped make this project a success.

TK School Plans Roundup of Kindergarten Parents in an effort to provide a more mean­ ingful school experience for children, the Thomapple Kellogg schools are having a Kindergarten Round-Up for all parents of those entering Kindergarten in September The Round-Up will be held March 17. at 7.30 pjn. in the McFall All Purpose room. The purpose of the Round-Up is to acquaint parents with the Kindergarten program, explain the upcoming pre-school evaluation and make appointments for the evaluation. The pre-school evaluation will be con­ ducted April 15,16, 19 and 20 and the hearing and vision evaluation on March 25. 26 and 29, in the West Elementary school multi-purpose room In the past, much necessary information has not been available to Kindergarten teachers at the beginning of the school year With this evaluation procedure, we hope to supply valuable information to the teachers. They will use it to work with each child, giving more attention to individual need than previously has been possible This will not be used as a measure of whether or not a child will start school: instead it attempts to prepare school for the child. The Thornapple Kellogg School hopes to evaluate such areas as: vision, hearing, listening skills, speech, coordina­ tion, perceptual development and general readiness level. Parents of prospective Kindergarten students should have received a kinder­ garten history sheet .health form and a developmental information form that are required to be filled out. These should be returned at the time of Kindergarten Round-Up in March or the evaluation in April. If you have a child who will be five yean old on or before October 1, 1982, and did not receive these forms, please caB the McFaD school, 795-3637. �Page 2 / March 4, 1982 / The Sun and News.

Hastings, Mich. February 25,1982 Dear Editor; On Saturday, February 20. my wife Agnes and I drove to Middleville to attend the open house at Lincoln Meadow Senior Citizen apartments, and we were very pleased at what we saw there. As you may recall, former Commis­ sioner Russell Bender from your area and I spent many hours trying to develop a Housing Commission for Barry County, which would have provided the vehicle for building senior housing anywhere in the county, but due to the efforts of a few uninformed people around Hastings, the move was defeated. So it is very grati­ fying to me to see my early efforts realized in Middleville. I wish to congratulate the many people who worked on the project and all the citizens in the Middleville area for the fine facility in your community. I’m sure all of the seniors who will be living in Lincoln Meadow will thank all of you for providing them with such a fine place to live when they find it hard to be alone. I think Middleville is the most progres­ sive conununity in Barry County. Mrs. Edith LaVeme Winters, formerly of Colrain St.. SE. passed away February 21, 1982, at Kent Community Hospital. She is survived by a son. Robert E. Hill of California;a grandson, Richard B Jensen of Caledonia; four great grandchildren; a Ed McPharlin sister, Gladys Comstock of Rockford.

Veriinde The Trojan Varsity basketball squad traveled to Comstock Park last Friday, expecting to pick up an easy win. But the Orange was surprised by a winless yet scrappy Panther team. Middleville pulled out the 73-60 victory, but. the heavy margin does not indicate the Tro­ jans’ troubles. The Trojans struggled right from the beginning, failing behind immediately and fighting to keep the Comstock Park edge down to four points as the first quarter ended with TK behind. 20-24 Middleville squirmed back, however, to leave the score knotted 39-39 at half. Then the Trojans began their come­ back surge, outscoring their opponents 10-8 in the third quarter and then blowing the game wide open in the final period to finish the game on top. 73-60. Steve Scott led the fourth quarter onslaught, scoring 11 of his team-leading 19 points. Bill Schwartz commanded the Orange Donald Berry Accounting INCOME TAX SERVICE Smail Busincss/Personal 20 Years Experience 795-7443 throughout the game, compiling impres­ sive statistics 16 points. 16 rebounds. 100% free throw shooting. seven for 12 field goal shooting and four steals. Jim Schipper added 12 points, four assists and five steals, while Dave Perry pulled rune off the board In team statistics, the Trojans flexed their musdes under the basket as they have so many other times this season, out­ rebounding the Panthers 46-28. Thornapple Kellogg sank only 39% of its floor shots, but connected on 23 of its 33 free throws. The win clinches a share of the OK ' Blue Championship for Middleville and sets the stage for tomorrow's contest at Hamilton. A win tomorrow night for the Trojans will leave them sole possessors of the OK Blue Crown and will provide momentum for next week’s tough district tournament schedule.

Wayland took the lead with just 59 seconds remaining on a basket by Bill Gonzales. The Scots had balanced scoring from Larry Postma 10, Todd Marsman 14 and Chad Creasey with 11 points and appeared to have the contest under control through the first three periods. The Scots had a chance to take advantage of the Wayland five at the foul line, but failed to cash in, hitting only 12 of 24 attempts. The Script for Friday’s contest against Hamilton was much the same. A good solid contest for the game, only to see victory escape in the closing minutes. The Scots, behind Ron Schultz 14 points, Larry Postma 14 and Todd Marsman 19. led the Hawkeyes 49-48 going to the final stanza, but the Hawkeyes, look­ ing for a chance to keep their title hopes alive, spurted to a 59-51 edge midway through the period. Caledonia charged TK JV’s Lose To Panthers by Jim T. Veriinde The Junior Varsity TK Basketball team allowed poor free-throw shooting to put them out of yet another OK Blue contest, as they dropped a road game last Friday to Comstock Park 66-54. “We did what we wanted to do. W8 set our own pace,” stated Trojan coach Jim Sprague. He added, however, that Middleville missed crucial free throws and easy shots to hand over the victory. Freshman Steve Miller performed well, scoring a commanding 24 points, while teammate Rob Ward grabbed nine re­ bounds. Tim Heffner contributed nine assists. As a team effort, Middleville dropped 45% of its shots from the floor but managed to sink only 33%^ from the charity stripe. Tomorrow evening the JV Trojans will play their final OK Blue contest on the road at Hamilton. back to the lead 61-59 at the 2:27 mark. The game was knotted by sophomore cen­ ter Bill Vanderbilt on an eighteen foot jumper and then a Caledonia turnover gave Vanderbilt an opportunity from the foul line. He hit the first and gained his on rebound on the second to put in a diffe­ rent type of three-point play, giving Hamilton a 64-61 edge and for all practical purposes the victory. Caledonia finishes the regular season at home tomorrow night against Byron Center. Next week the Scots will take part in the District Class B Tournament to be held at Delton. Middleville V.F.W.

The law. to go into effect April 1 of this year, requires all infants under four years of age to be protected when riding in vehicles. How do you protect an infant riding in a vehicle? Two ways - with child re­ straints or with seat belts. The new law requires all infants under four to be placed in infant restraints when carried in front seats. Children between one and four in the back seat may be put in seat belts, but children under one must always be held in a re­ straint device whether carried in the front or back seat. OLD-TIME BEAUTY SECRETS For centuries, herbs were the main source of beauty aids then along came the big cosmetic com­ panies. and the world of beauty was swamped with (sometimes danger ou«) chemicals Lately, however, as we rediscover organic recipes, homegrown herbs, fruits, and vege­ tables have found their way back onto many makeup tables Shirley Sipp sent us an interest ing list of beauty tips that her grandmother had once written out for her daughter (Shirley s aunt! We re passing her collection of old-time dressing-table advice along to you: IN THE MORNING: Mix a handful of oatmeal with enough spring water to make a paste, and put this mixture on your face and neck When it dries, rinse the paste off with whey, then with water, and dry your skin with a soft rag AT NIGHT: Rub a mixture of honey and glycerin onto your face, then wipe it off gently-after a while—with a soft cloth. ONCE A WEEK: Add a teaspoon of honey to one mashed apple, mix them togeth­ er. and pul this cream on your face and neck Leave it m place for half an hour, and then rinse with whey or cold milk. TO HEAL CHAPPED HANDS: Rub them with damp table salt FOR BRIGHT HAIR: Add vinegar to the rinse water after washing your hair, or make a rinse of mullein, nettle, sage, or burdock tea. TO DARKEN GRAY HAIR: Boil an ounce of chamomile or sage in a quart of wa­ ler for 20 minutes Rinse your hair with this brew, and use a hairbrush dipped in strong chamomile or sage tea. FOR A RELAXING BATH: Hang a bag of dried comfrey or rosemary in the bath water FOR PERFUME: Fill a jar with pressed rose petals (or any sweet scented flowersl. add as much glycerin as the container will hold, and cover it tightly. After three weeks, you can pour the perfume off into a bottle. TO MAKE A SACHET: Combine one ounce each of powdered cloves, caraway seed, nutmeg, mace, and cinnamon with six ounces of powdered orrisroot. Put the mixture in fancy bags and place them in closets and dresser drawers. FOR SOFT HANDS: Shake a half cup of glycerin, a half cup of rose water, and a quarter cup of witch hazel in a jar. Apply this to your hands after they've been in waler Most beauty-conscious grandmas foraged or grew many of their ingredients. But if you don't have your own garden, you can often find the natural aids in health food stores, supermarkets, and pharmacies . . or even growing wild along the roadside Ms Sipp says she s started to use some of her grandmother s old-time recipes and has found that comfrey does make a nice skin softener while oatmeal leaves the skin silky and is especially good on oily teenage complexions However, a word of caution: Anyone can be allergic to almost anything, so check out any unfamiliar substance before you rub it all over yourself To do this, just place a small amount on the tender skin of your inner arm. and cover the area with an adhesive bandage. Then wait 24 hours and have a look. If the patch shows any re­ action, such as redness or obvious irritation . . that ingredient just isn't for you.

The Hawkeyes completed their season at 14-0 in the OK Blue and 18-2 overall. Trojan coach Jim Sprague put his team into a semi-stall early to control Hamil­ ton’s run-and-gun tempo. The strategy kept Middleville in the game during the first half, but the Hawkeyes’ power was too much for the Trojans as the Orange and Black yielded in the third quarter, allowing a Hamilton blow-out. Craig Mathiesen scored 13 points, continuing his status as Middleville’s most improved player on the season. Season statistics for this year’s Trojan Junior Varsity basketball squad will appear in next week’s issue. Frosh Post 10-8 Year The Trojan basketball team members accepted the OK Blue Trophy at an assembly on Tuesday. Middleville Trojans Wear Blue Crown In Basketball for 1st Time in 16Years by Jim T. Verlinde The Varsity Trojan basketball team traveled to Hamilton last Friday and watched the Hawkeyes put on a shooting clinic for three quarters. But the end of the contest found Middleville cutting down the nets for their first league cham­ pionship since 1966 as TK rallied in the Fourth quarter to a 61 -51 victory. The Trojans found themselves trailing 40-44 going into the final period, continu­ ing to tag along behind as they had for the last 24 minutes. The never-say-die Orange, however, fashioned a 21-7 fourth quarter outscoring of Hamilton to pick up the win. The Middleville revival was led by sparkplugs Steve Scott and Jim Schipper as Scott scored eight of his 18 points and Schipper picked off key interceptions. Excellent shooting by both teams made rebounds a scarcity as TK outbounded the Hawkeyes by a 26-19 count. Only four of Middleville’s rebounds were on the offensive boards. The lack of bounds is shown in both team's shooting statistics with the two squads combining to sink 47 percent of all shots attempted from the floor and 64 percent of all tosses from the free throw stripe, giving neither team much chance to build up its rebounding total. Steve Scott dished out nine assists in addition to hitting six of seven free throws enroute to his 18 points. Senior forward Bill Schwartz complimented that perfor­ mance with six rebounds and eight points, connecting on 80 percent of his field goal attempts. Brian Miller added 15 points while Jim Schipper accumulated ten points and nine assists. The victory marked the end of Middle­ ville's regular season which produced some impressive statistics to back up TK's 12-2 OK Blue record As a team, the Orange outscored its QUALITY UPHOLSTERY and Rnfinisbing COMPLETE FURNITURE SERVICE •Custom Upholstery' •Custom Refinishing •Expert vinyl repair, refinishing •Both residential A commercial CALL 891-1226 AFTER 4:00 P-M A EVENINGS opponents 946 to 739 for a per-game average of 67.6 to 52.8. The Trojans shot 40 percent from the floor and 61 percent from the charity stripe In individual statistical departments, Bill Schwartz led the TK “Bruise Brothers’’with 137 rebounds, followed closely behind by Jeff Kerber with 113 and Dave Perry with 102. Schwartz also hit 47 percent of his field goal attempts as did Perry. Steve Scott headed the list of scorers with an average of 1 2.4 points per game, including a 43 for 54 freethrow shooting effort . Scott and Junior Jim Schipper provided the magic, com­ bining for 149 assists while Schipper also recorded 57 steals on the season. Coach Skip Pranger wished to express his thanks to the community for its at­ tendance and emotional support. The Trojan Freshman basketball team finished the season with four straight wins, including last Tuesday’s 56-33 victory over Delton, a team that had beaten Middleville earlier in the year Dave Karel scored 16 points and Tom Schwartz 14. Both helped Middleville dominate the boards. The young Trojans struggled early in the season against a very tough non-conference schedule and at one point were 2-5. The team continued to improve throughout the year and finished with a 10-8 record, including a perfect 6-0 mark against conference teams. For the season Schwartz and Karel were the leading scorers, averaging 10 and 9 points respectively. Chris Gulch and Todd Courts chipped in with 7 per game Karel and Schwartz led the rebound ing with strong support from Gulch. Eric Timm and Todd Rounds. Mike Newhouse led in assists with Gulch, Courts and Eric Hannapel also among the leaders. Also contributing to the team effort were John York. Jeff Mathiesen. Pete Bailey and recent transfer Mike Doyle. The freshmen were coached by Kurt Holzhueter.

Steelcase Expansion to Create 500 New Jobs by Fall Steelcase Inc., the world’s largest de­ signer and manufacturer of office furniture will break ground this summer for a long­ term building program that could ulti­ mately cover 408 acres and double the size of its Western Michigan manufacturing complex. The expansion program will take place in the Grand Rapids suburb of Kentwood on a site bounded by 52nd Street on the north, 60th Street on the south, East Paris Avenue on the west and Broadmoor on the east. Robert C. Pew. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Steelcase, said that the project would be completed in phases that would parallel market conditions. He also said that when fully utilized, the expansion could provide as many as 5,000 additional jobs. Steelcase currently employs over 6,500 men and women in the Grand Rapids area, and has over six million square feet of manufacturing and office space. Pew said that the expansion program was a reflection of the company’s confidence that the office furniture market would continue to expand. The industry is currently growing at a rate of some 14% per year and is expected to reach a level gan. “This area is blessed with an abund­ ance of people who want to apply their skills and abilities.

The systems furniture plant will manu facture structural panels for the Com­ pany’s Series 9000 line of furniture. The energy system will consist of the latest in coalfired boiler technology and will provide manufacturing process and heating steam for the entire complex. Recently developed technology enables coal fired systems designers to build plants that are clean and efficient. Mer lotti said. A similar system, already in use at Steelcase’s main manufacturing site, is equipped with filtration equipment that captures all particulate matter, he said. The distribution facility will be equipped with computer-controlled driverless tractors, providing one of the most up-t-date storages and shipping facilities in the country. All buildings will be energy-efficient, windowless de­ signs. Each building will have offices for plant management, engineering, production inventory control, human resources and safety personnel. A visitors center is also part of the future plan. A right-of-way to build a rail siding into the property has been obtained, but Merlotti said that the siding will not be built in the initial stages of construction. The site plan also calls for a grounds beautification program that includes ponds, shrubbery and employee recreation areas. Green belt areas will contribute to a park like appearance. CURRENT CAPACITY AND BUILDING PROGRAM Several building projects at the com­ pany’s main plant site between 44th and 36th streets have either been recently completed or are now in progress. Cur­ rently under construction is a $50 million, 383,000 square foot corporate head­ quarters building slated for completion in early 1983 The company recently completed a 960,000 square foot systems furniture plant and high rise storage com­ plex that is now operating in excess of 80% capacity. This facility will continue to manufacture systems furniture. In addition, the company is currently completing major expansions at its Toronto, Canada and Fletcher, North Carolina sites. Steelcase today has office and show­ rooms in 18 US. and three Canadian cities, manufacturing facilities in six cities and 9,000 employees The company dis­ tributes its products through more than 600 independent dealers. Outside the United States, the company has operations in Australia, Canada, France, Japan, North Africa, the United Kingdom and West Germany. The architects on the projects are Daverman Associates, Inc., and Newhoff and Winer, both of Grand Rapids. The first phase of the expansion is shown above as it relates to the site along M-37 north of 60th street. �started another double wedding ring quilt.

MIDDLE SCHOOL COUNSELOR School Phone 795-3349 or 795 3340 How do adolescents learn right from wrong? As children grow older, most parents continue to impress upon them the dif­ ference between “right and wrong.” Ideally, children should rely less on parental direction for “right and wrong” and more on their own evaluation in making a decision. There is confusion in research findings over the years on whether the father really plays a role in this area or not. Others have found that as children be­ come adolescents, they still prefer advice from their parents over advice from their peers. The role of the church as a teacher of “right and wrong” has also been questioned. This study used five groups of child­ ren fron ages seven to fifteen. The total number of children was 700 with 200 from age groups 11, 13. 15. Half of each group were boys and half were girls. The children were asked to define words such as honesty, responsibility, doing right, being good, being bad, guilt, con­ science and having character. Six psycho­ logists reviewed the definitions and compared them to Oxford Dictionary definitions. All the children also com­ pleted various intelligence tests. Most* of the children below the age of 15 do not have a grasp of the meaning of the concepts. This must in­ fluence the use of these moral concepts by children. The children had particular difficulties with “doing right, “being bad” and “being good.” Betty’s Beauty Salon PHONE 795 9062 Also Evenings by Appointment 7105 PARMELEE ROAD 1% miles East of Whitneyville - As children grew older, children decided more for themselves. Girls, who mature earlier, also began deciding for ' themselves rather earlier than did boys. - More older children felt that “doing wrong” would still be wrong if no one saw them do wrong. However, for girls, previous research was conflict­ ing One study showed that girls would still not do wrong if no one saw them, while another study showed that they would. This study found no difference between the sexes. - This study and others confirmed the finding that adolescents are not merely slaves to a peer group. The in­ fluence of the mother is very strong among 15 year olds in learning what is right or wrong. At this age. the father’s influence declined. — Among these “normal” children, the influence of TV and news media was very slight in affecting their moral judg­ ments. There is little evidence to support that adolescents accept the influence of the mass media. Although fewer people are attend­ ing church, the majority of the adoles­ cents believed the church helped them in their decision making. It also appeared to help more than the mass media. In general, older children felt the church helped them less than did younger child­ ren. An important result of the research is that parents and teachers should cur­ tail used warnings about “doing right” or “doing wrong” with younger adolescents. The language should be more specific and not depend on the child's trying to learn the meanings. Also, parental fears of peer groups turn­ ing normal children astray have minor basis in fact. Moral concepts are heavily derived from the home and the mother has a continuing influence.

Gimme an R! Gimme an O! J! A! N’ S’ That says TROJANS, and that means success’’’ From all of your loyal basketball fans this year, thank you Trojans for a truly inspiring and exciting year on the hardcourt. Middleville hasn’t had as much to yell about when it comes to basketball since 1966, or about when most of today’s Trojans were still in diapers’ Finishing with an 18-2 regular season on the way to the OK Blue Championship, the Trojans took Byron Center in their opening District play. The ultimate stumbling block was the South Christian Salors, however, and the Trojans were eliminated, but not without a valiant struggle. “Gimme A G’ Gimme an R! Gimme an E’ Gimme an A’ Gimme a T’ That spells GREAT and that is how your fans will always remember this season.” (SEE PAGE 12 FOR MORE PHOTOS) The TK Winter sports awards will be given out next Tuesday.

The young men have the opportunity to listen to and join in discussions with top men and women in state and national government, business and education.

The 1981 annual exempt amount was $5,500 for people 65 or over and $4,080 for people under 65 all of 1981 A person who was 72 or older all of 1981 does not have to make a report. Neither do people who receive benefits because of disability, since different rules apply. A person who did not receive any checks in 1981 because of expected earn­ ings does not have to make a report of his or her earnings. But, Fleminger said, if those eranings were less than expected, it would be in that person’s best interest to make a report. This is because just $ I in benefits is withheld for every $2 of earnings above the annual exempt amount. It could be that some benefits may be due. If they are, they will be paid after the annual report is reviewed Kietunan's Tai and Accounting Service SPECIALIZING IN TAX PREPARATION Personal and Business FOR APPOINTMENT CALL: 891-1486 s(pecbails9 SIZES 8 16 JEANS ‘8.95 LONG SLEEVE POLO SHIRTS Assorted Colors S, M, L, XL *2.79 B & D Discount 9807 Cherry Valley Ave. CALEDONIA.

Ed Deland of Battle Creek, engineer for the Grand Trunk Railroad and nationally known.toy tram collector, displayed two tables of metal toy trains and related the history of the Lionel toy train. Joshua Lional Cowen, who was raised in Irvington, New Jersey, decided the train would bear his middle name. Wary of steam engines, young Lionel patented a small electric motor to propel a model train in 1900 and started produc­ tion. The first engine was crude and ugly, but it had a good motor and it worked. The Lionel train caught the public’s fancy particularly after Lionel improved and refined his toy trains through the 1920s and 30:s. By 1928, Lionel bought out Edward Ives and the model was known as the Lionel-Ives. Edwards Ives had produced toy trains from 1868, but his models were considered to be “rough.” Another competitor of Lionel was the .American Flyer, whose 1915 model was considered the nicest of its era. Over the yean Lionel adapted to the model changes in gauges (size of toy track) from European One gauge to stand­ ard gauge, to the popular 0 gauge, to the S gauge, and since WWII. the HO gauge, beloved by true scale model railroaden. Lionel was also involved in other matters from his early life. He experiment­ ed with dynamite (outside his mother’s kitchen), electric fuses and detonators for land and sea mines which he sold to the Navy in the Spanish-American War in 1898 After a period in the floral busi­ ness and inventing a battery operated flash bulb for photographers, he sold out and plunged into the toy train business. Shortly after Lionel bought out Ives in 1928, the depression came and in 1933 Lionel was in receivenhip . But Kresge’s wanted a toy for Christmas 1934 and Lionel came up with the Mickey Mouse Handcar at a price of $1.00. It sold so successfully that Lionel was out of debt after one year. In World War II.

Middleville’s OK Blue eagers closed out TK High’s winter sports season last Thurs­ day with a 68-56 loss to the Sailors of South Christian in Gass C District tourna­ ment action. The Sailors, who were ranked eighth in the state at gametime, went on to totally dominate the Fennville Blackhawks, winning the district crown on Saturday. The trojans finished the season with an overall record of 19-3. which included a 12-2 league-winning record in the OK Blue. Playing in their final basketball season for Middleville were seniors Harve LaPierre. Bill Schwartz. Steve Scott and Gordon Smith. Trojan Junior Varsity Wrapup Jim T. Verlinde The Middleville Junior Varsity hoopers have turned in their uniforms for this year, choosing to forget their 5-9 OK Blue record. Instead, the Trojans will concen­ trate on gaining the qualities needed to build consistency for next year’s season shooting, for instance. The Orange found streaks of poor shooting to be its downfall throughout the schedule. The inconsistency snowed through in TK’s 38 percent field goal shooting. Fifty-three percent free throw shooting put the Trojans out of several games during crucial points in the con­ tests. The season produced a pleasant sur­ prise. however, in the person of Craig Mathiesen. Mathiesen came off the bench to become a starter and showed impress ive shooting skills, sinking 51 percent of his shots from the floor and 67 percent of his free throw attempts. Freshman Steve Miller led the team under the boards, accumulating 205 points and 101 rebounds. Rob Ward trailed closely behind Miller in the re­ bound department with 89. Tim Heffner captained the offense, serving up 69 assists, while Chris Wingeier added some extra offensive punch by hitting on 48 percent of his floor shots. The JV squad was rounded out by Scott Noffke, Robb Pickard, Ron Fink­ beiner, Rod Eggers, Rich Jewett and Brian Kaechele. Spring Sports to Begin at TKHS Jim T. Verlinde Warming temperatures signify the be ginning of the spring sports season as TK’s baseball, track, softball and tennis teams suit up to begin practice. The boys and girls track teams started getting in shape Monday under the coach­ ing of Sharon Schondelmayer and Keith Middlebush. The varsity and JV Baseball squads start later this week with Steve Evans fill­ ing the position of varsity skipper in the absence of Jesse Young. Tom Bremer will take over at the helm for the JV team. Larry Seger will continue his services as boys’ tennis coach, while Bob Weller and Ron Strater head the girls softball teams. Schedules and in-depth articles of these teams will appear as the season progresses.

Once an illness has ended, promptly dispose of drugs prescribed for that illness. Flush them doWn the toilet, rinse out the container and write the word “Empty” on it before you throw it away. Self­ diagnosis and use of outdated medicine can be dangerous. Keep all medications and other pro­ ducts in their original, labeled containers. Never store poisonous substances m food or beverage containers 6. Read all labels carefully before taking medication or using a product. Follow the directions; however, be care­ ful of antidote information which may be outdated. Find out what first'aid measures your doctor or local poison center recom­ mends. and follow that advice. 7. Don’t take or give medication in the dark. 8. Avoid taking medication in front of children. They are great imitators of adults. 9. Use the proper measuring device when administnng liquid medicine. There are special medication spoons and cups now available, which are more accurate than your average household teaspoons. 10. Use child resistant packaging when­ ever possible. Do not rely only on these, however, to keep a child from being poisoned. Children can open these, especially if they are not replaced securely. 11. If you are interrupted while using a product, take it with you. Poison centers hear frequently. “I just left for a second.” That’s all the time a child needs to become poisoned.

Michigan Page 10 / March 18. 1982 I LITTLE OF THIS’S and THATS’S BY NORMA VELDE RM AN I don’t know whether it’s the time of “Sulphur and molasses” or whether it’s just the need of the Lenten Season or “Spring Fever.” Call it what you will. I had a rude awakening as to what was wrong with me. and I wondered if any of you had the same thing. I was bored with housework, hated to even bother to cook, wanted to do some­ thing I wasn’t doing — restless, irritable and very dissatisfied with life in general. (I can hear my Aunt Audie saying “Time for a dose of sulphur and molasses, Norma.” Then while I was studying and listening to a tape, it all fell into place. I was doing each job in hand with re­ sentment, impatience, boredom, self pity, you name it, I felt it. That was exactly the problem. I must do any job before me with love,joy, ea emess, happiness, re­ gardless of the job. I was getting back just what I put into my work. AU negative, unhappy thoughts and actions. Have you ever watc hed a group of people when a cross, irritable person joins them? Most of us either move away or desire to get away' Watch the same group when a thoroughly happy, warm, shar­ ing person joins them. We all feel a little better, happier, and may even smile in response to their happy greeting. I must greet every task with happiness, peace and contentment. Because, if I master it. it disappears or becomes interest­ ing by loving it. You say. “How can you scrub out someone’s dirty bathtub and be happy CASH FOR LANO CONTRACTS Any type property anywhere in Michigan 24 Hours Call Free 1 800 292 1550 First National Acceptance Co about that?” Well, you have two strong arms (even if they creak a little ) - two strong knees to kneel on. There are people who don’t, you know. How happy and shiny a nice clean tub appears. 1 bet the tub even wears a happy grin because someone cared enough to keep his face clean. (Don’t you think they might even take pride in how they look too*1 Maybe the deva’s or faines of bathtubs do!) Each one of us has the responsibility to make the world a better, happier place by doing any job in front of us as a very special job., that only we can do well and happily. And it will be. Any job done with joy usually is a job well done - because joy spills out and runs over any measure trying to confine it. Love, joy, happiness are positive and we feel much better when we radiate that kind of feeling. What we radiate, we get back. So, maybe it was spring fever, but I feel I was sowing discontent and back came discontent. So I’m going to try to do each job with joy, happiness and eagerness, grate­ ful that I can do them. And I’ll be a hap­ pier person for doing them with that attitude. It’s nothing earth shattering that I’ve discovered - most people already know it. These simple things seem to be the hardest things to practice and master. They are too close to you and you do them all the time - so boredom sets in quickly. So I guess the simple fact that I’ve learned this spring is - do you job, regard­ less of what it is. as if it were Sacred Labor, because it is. The immediate re­ ward is great. 708 West Main Street Morning Worship Service Sunday School Evening Worship Service 10:00 am. 11:15a.m. 6:00 p.m. YOU ARE INVITED Rev Roger Timmerman, Pastor / Phone 795-3667 CALEDONIA United Methodist Church .................................. 9:30 a.m. ............... ................. 11:00 a.m. Rev.

Several small changes were made by committee members and it was decided that a public hearing on the Al­ ternatives Section would be held April 1 7:30 p.m. in the Barry Eaton District Health Department in Hastings. The Alternatives Section of the Solid Waste Management breaks the solid waste stream into its seven component phases (generation, pre-collection, collection, transportation, processing, disposal and administration) and suggests alternatives for each phase. Presently, subject to public scrutiny and comment, two sets of short range alternatives, two sets of long range county alternatives and two sets of long range regional alternatives are offered. BOOSTERS MEET APRIL 13 The TK Boosters will not be meeting on April 12, but will meet on Tuesday, April 13, at the Middle School Cafeteria, 7:30 p.m. All are invited. BAKE SALE AT BANK The TK Boosters are taking a wellearned rest this week, and the United Methodist Women are sponsoring a bake sale on Friday at the Middleville bank. In addition to treats by some of the town's best bakers, the second printing of the church’s cookbook "Pass It On" has arrived and will also be on sale. Plan to stop Friday for delectable treats for the weekend.

BUCKLE YOUR BABIES . . . IT’S THE LAW State Rep Debbie Stabenow of Lansing has been buckling her two-year-old daughter, Michelle in a safe child car seat since she was born. Beginning today, effective date of a new state law, all children under four years old must be buckled in. The law says children one to four must sit in safety seats like Michelle’s if they’re riding in the front seat of a vehicle. Those under one must be in safety seats no matter where they ride. Stabenew, the first member of the Michigan Legislature to have a baby while in office, was instrumental in getting the new law enacted. Middleville Rotarians Offer Child Car Seats for Rent As a part of the club’s Community Service effort, the Middleville Rotary Club announced this week they have placed an order for 24 child restraint car seats to be rented to local parents. The seats, half of which are for the infants and half for the older child, have not yet arrived, but will be rented from the Baby Bliss Factory store on M-37. The fees that will be charged have also yet to be set by the club. Beginning today, children under age 4 must be properly restrained while riding in cars, according to Michigan law. Infants under one year old on the front or back seat must ride in an approved child restraint. Children ages 1 through 3 must ride in an approved restraint while in the front seat, and either a child restraint or a seat belt in the back seat Convertible child restraints (such as shown below) adjust for use by infants and older children. It has been estimated that compliance with the new law could reduce deaths 90 percent and injuries 80 percent for youngsters involved in auto accidents. Dr. Choryan is Weekend Winner The TK Boosters Club announces that Dr. Richard Choryan of Caledo­ nia is the winner of the WeekEnd at the Grind Rapids Marriott Hotel. The prize includes one night free lodging for two, dinner and cocktails, continental breakfast in room Sophs Win Bake Challenge The Sophomore class won the Bake Sale Challenge by $13.40, earning $15435 to the Freshman Class $140.95 When such an all out effort is shown by both classes, it's very hard to say this class won and that class lost, especially when it all helps in reaching the Booster Club’s total goal It was a job well done. 112th YEAR • NUMBER 13 Power Outage in Caledonia Area Consumers Power Company reported that 61 Caledonia area electric customers were w ithout power for two hours Mon­ day night. A primary line came down in the Thornapple River Drive area at about 8 pin. and was restored two hours later. A company spokesman reported that the line had apparently come down from pre­ vious lightning damage and wind gusts on Monday night. Outline Alternatives The short range alternatives are de­ signed to cover the next five years. The first set of short range alternatives is a reflection of the present situation in the county. The second set of short range alternatives contains suggestions which may enhance the present system over the short term. The two sets of long range county al­ ternatives reflect the same outlook, but make suggestions as to the options that may be viable over a twenty year time period. The first set of long range regional al­ ternatives suggests options that may be available through a combination techno­ logy (resource recovery, recycling, incin eration, etc.) if Barry County joins with other counties to address solid waste management. Finally the second set of long range regional alternatives re flee to the options available if a major incinera­ tion plan under study in Calhoun and Kalamazoo Counties is put into operation. Public Invited to Comment Members of the public wishing to study and make comments on the pro­ posed alternatives can review the relevant documents at the Barry Eaton Public Health Department during regular busi­ ness hours. Comments may be made directly at the April 1 meeting or sub­ mitted in writing at the Health Depart­ ment in care of V. Harry Adrounie. Village Manager Join* Committee In other committee business, Ernie Ball of Middleville, representing municipal government, and Lloyd Guyings of Prairie­ ville, representing the public, werwel­ comed as committee members. The committee received a report from Chief Sanitarian Steven Essling, on a DNR environmental health conference he had attended. In two items pertinent to committee business, he announced that there are four types of landfill bonding presently acceptable to the DNR which are now generally available and that solid waste disposal areas that are located in one county, but serve another county, must be identified in both counties’ Solid Waste Management Plans. Finally, the Committee approved the renewal of Sylvia Dulaney’s consulting contract. �Page 2 / April 1, 1982 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan Village of Middleville Doing MORE...With LESS! /n the staffof_____________ Official Minutes . THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS, ME MOTHER EARTH N£WS *s 1 tHMfcBP’Mrh of Tm£ 1^0 h£» EAR HMtwb March 23,1982 One of the leaat expensive ways to stretch your garden s growing season is by con­ structing an easy tobuild cold frame from recycled materials It doesn t have to be fancy, but the hothouse should be tightly assembled to reduce heat loss its glass top should slant to the south and its frame should be sheltered (against the wall of a house or outbuilding) on its north side You don't even have to have a "right" sue for your homemade mini-greenhouse. Look around the nearest dump or salvage yard until you find some glassed window sashes that measure approximately 3X6 feet. Decide how many of the windows you want to use on top of your cold frame, and construct a "box on which to mount them. A simple rectangle of rough planks (1-1/2 or 2 inches thick) will do the job just fine. Make the frame 24 inches tall at the back and about 16 inches high across the front. Set the structure about 4 inches into the ground, dnve stakes solidly into the earth in­ side at all four comers, and nail the planks to the posts for greater strength. Then spread a couple of inches of gravel inside the cold frame (to insure good drain­ age) and hinge the old windows on top so they can be swung up and securely propped open whenever you want to reach inside the unit or ventilate the interior of the box. Your crop house should warm up enough to allow you to start flats of plants four to six weeks earlier than normal in the spring. It will also furnish you with fresh salad greens far into the fall and winter and the frame can even serve as a storage area for root crops during exceptionally cold weather On the other hand, should you decide to plant directly in the garden this spring, make some portable greenhouses to help the little sprouts come along Large contain­ ers, such as peanut butter jars and translucent plastic milk jugs, can be recycled to become just perfect for baby plant protectors The peanut butter containers, of course, are the easiest to use: Just take off their lids, wash the glass vessels, and turn them upside down over whatever sprouts in your vegetable patch need protection. However, translucent plastic milk jugs work even better as garden plant protectors, since it's possible to regulate their internal temperatures by simply removing and replacing the lids. Merely cut the bottoms right out of the containers and set the jugs upright over your early transplants and seeds. You can make a simple indoor cold frame very easily, too. Just line a cardboard box with plastic, bend two large half loops from coat hanger wires, and set up one of these arched supports in each end of the box. After placing soil and seeds in the container, put the whole ar­ rangement into a large, clear plastic garbage hag that s tied with a twister Presto! An in­ stant closed system that keeps the seedlings very moist and relatively warm when placed in front of a window ... yet can be opened easily when you want to inspect, water, or aerate the plants.

Inc TIPS ON BUYING A USED PICKUP Here are a few hints to help you test out that used four-wheeler that's caught your eye. WITH THE TRUCK ON THE RACK: Grasp a front wheel top and bottom, and try to work it back and forth. More than an eighth of an inch play could m ean a king pin replacement biill. Spin all four wheels with the truck out of gear . . a metal-tometal sound on any wheel will likely indicate worn or badly adjusted brakes. The muffler and the tailpipe should be sound. Check the frame for bent, warped, or welded spots and the inside of all the tires for streaks of hydraulic fluid. (These could indicate a leaky wheel cylinder in the brake system.) .. . . , WITH THE TRUCK ON THE GROUND: Pull out the engine oil dipstick and check for grit (a sign of excessive engine wear). Watch, too. for oil with a foamy, grayish appearance. It means that water is present, and that's an almost sure sign of a cracked head or block. . Remove the radiator filler cap and dip in a finger Oil in the water is jast as bad as water in the oil. Look over the cooling system for signs of leaks If the pickup has been driven just before your inspection, wait as long as possible before starting it again. You can’t tell as much from an engine that s already been warmed up as from one that s started cold. WITH THE TRUCK RUNNING: As you start the vehicle, listen for any unusual noises from the starter The engine should idle quietly and smoothly. With the powerplant still idling, walk around to the exhaust and have someone race the engine. A puff or two of black smoke—caused by carbon-sbouldn t be con­ sidered important White smoke, on the other hand, probably means the old jalopy needs rings and that can be expensive . . Climb in the cab and let out the clutch Do you hear a faint lor not so faint) jingle. If the noise disappears when you let the clutch in. it s a worn nng gear Teat the lights, turn signals, hand brake, born, and windshield wipers THE TEST DRIVE Ease into gear and pull away gently Even with your foot off the throttle, the truck should lug along on the level without bucking and jumping Apply the brakes. You should not have to pump the pedaL If you can find a steep hill, dnve up it Then, on the downhill side, m high gear, take your foot off the throttle If the truck picks up speed it s probably low on com pression and needs new rings __ _ . .. DEALING: Your best bet is to buy a one-owner truck from a private party But if you do find an exceptional machine offered by a dealer, don’t hesitate to bargam with the salesperson Be tough Dnve the pnce down Furthermore, if you can find a truck with an excellent body and running gear, but with a blown engine, it might well be a good buy Before you make that sort of deal though, shop around for the necessary parts and have a good mechanic give you an exact estimate of the repair costs If the total is reasonable, within your budget, and less than you’d have to pay for a secondhand truck in supposedly good condition buy the vehicle!

Middle School Students Experience'Going Abroad’ On March 24 and 25, the sixth grade students of Thornapple Kellogg Middle School did a special unit called “Going Abroad.” The unit consisted of setting up a miniature town that contained a court house, bank, doctor’s office, health department, photography shop, and a Sears Catalog department. The students spent one half of their time being workers helping tourists get passports; the other half of their time was spent in being a tourist. Each sixth grade teacher took a special area and prepared the students for their particular job. Besides preparing the stu­ dent for the job, they also assisted the students in making a building where the activity would take place, Each working area usually contained three workers. The workers were provided with the materials that were necessary in perform­ ing their tasks. When a student entered the working area, he was given printed instructions as to the procedure that was necessary to obtain a passport. The main objective of _ the unit was to do all the various activi­ ties that are cdnnected with obtaining a real passport. Not only did the student learn the various activities in purchasing a passport, but he also acquired various skills necessary for being a worker in the job market. At the end of the project the student had received a travel ticket, check book, catalog order, passport application, travel checks, passport with photo, birth certi­ ficate. and a health card signed and stamped. The students enjoyed the activities connected with the unit. They learned much by actually going through the pro­ cedures. They liked being workers and and learning hew to handle customers under stress. They especially enjoyed going from place to place in purchasing their passports. This unit is one of three that is taught for Career Education in grade six. Overcoming fear Education is the key all the time. It’s in some of the food I eat. If 1 fly in an airplane. I’m closer to cosmic sources. If I explore a cave, I’m closer to the radiation from rocks and minerals. “I can’t avoid it. That doesn’t mean I need to close my eyes to the danger. But it means I can approach it intel­ Don Williams Most people Don Williams meets are afraid of radiation. "Some people are frightened of it partly because they can't see it," says Dr. Williams, who has spent years studying the subject as both a chemist and an environmentalist. "They haven’t been educated in it; they haven’t thought it through. They don't know what it is. In fact, it has become well understood only in our present lifetime.’’ Dr. Williams is chairman of the chemistry department of Hope College, in Holland He is both a scientist and a self-proclaimed "ecology nut ” He has fallen in love with Lake Michigan and the natural environment Radiation is all around us; “we can't escape it," Dr. Williams says. But because people don't realize that, they single out that which they can see - nuclear power plants - as the villains. Actually, radiation from nuclear power plants is very small compared to radiation from other common sources, he notes. “As an environmentalist. 1 under­ stand that some people genuinely fear radiation.” he says. “1 want to help them. 1 want to reach out with education “Should I avoid all radiation?" Dr. Williams asks. “That’s impossible It streaks out of the sky on us There are things in my body giving off radiation ligently" Of the radiation our bodies receive, how much comes from nuclear power production? Dr. Williams points out that the amount has* been well docu­ mented. "It is pretty trivial," he says. "Readings I have done on the subject suggest clearly that during your lifetime, you have a one-in-amillion chance of dying from radia­ tion exposure." he says. Dr. Williams says you also h&ve a one-in-a-million chance of dying every lime you travel 60 miles in a car, by living at age 60 for 20 minutes; each time you fly 700 miles in an airplane; by smoking I to 3 cigarettes, or by working for l¥i weeks in a typical factory. Dr. Williams points out that we receive about 15,000 times more radiation from the sky than from nuclear power. The radiation from things we eat is about 6.000 times greater, from medical procedures about 24.000 times greater, and from rocks about 13.000 tunes greater than from nuclear power "There isn't anything that doesn't come without its dangers." Dr Williams says. "But when I put nuclear power in perspective I see that rt gives me an awful lot of benefits I use things that are powered by electricity ; I enjoy them and ap­ preciate them That power is useful to me “1 see nuclear power as clean and economical and a vital part of our country ’s mix of energy sources."

April 13, at the Thornapple Kellogg Middle School. Energy doesn’t just pop out of the walls But where does it come from? How do we use it? Why is it getting expensive. This KARIN HOKKANEN 112th YEAR * NUMBER 14 is the subject of a special traveling pro^ gram for high schools and civic clubs called “Energy Today and Tomorrow.” The pro­ gram. developed and operated by Oak _, Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), is sponsored by Consumers Power Co. It features an array of unusual electro­ nic teaching devices such as an animated garbage can that demonstrates the value of recycling, a bicycle that generates electricity, an electrostatic precipitator to control pollution, and an electric motor­ cycle. The teacher-demonstrator. Karin Hokkanen, uses this equipment and other de­ vices to describe the sources of our energy today, methods we use for power genera­ tion. possible future sources of energy, and the social, economic and environmen­ tal choices we face when we use energy. One of the choices discussed is conserva tion. Karin, a graduate of the University of Florida, has received extensive addition­ al training from ORAU about the complex subject of energy. “Energy Today and Tomorrow” visits a different high school each day. The demonstration is presented in an assembly and is then followed by special classroom sessions adapted to the size, interests and grade level of the students. These sessions are designed to stimulate both science and non-science students into thinking Continued on Page 8 For Easter Sunday only, the Middle­ ville Wesleyan Church will hold services at the Yankee Springs Township Hall at Bowens Mill.

Christmas Decor To Cost $2,000 A group of Middleville citizens have been making a Christmas shopping list a little early this year, and they would like some input and ideas. The group have checked out what it would cost to pur­ chase street decorations for the down­ -town area of Middleville and have made tentative plans to go ahead with the project. The next question is how to raise $2,000 that it would cost to finance the project and how much interest local people would have in reaching that goal. An open meeting to discuss the idea will be held next Friday, April 16, at 7 p.m. in the Middleville Community Hall. Employers Should Have Tornado Emergency Plan The tornado season is now officially upon us. Because every tornado is capable of great destruction and knows no difie rence between day or night, residential or commercial structures, the Safety Education and Training Division of the Michigan Department of Labor recommends that every business establish a tornado safety program as part of its emergency services plan* Planning for tornado emergencies. like any other safety functions, must be done in advance. Only in this way can the po­ tential harm to people and property be held to a minimum An effective disaster safely plan re­ quires the same good organization, plan ning and administration techniques as a regular safety program Assessment ol the potential harm to people and property should be the first step in establishing a disaster safety plan. No company and no plan will probably be the same. A com­ pany’s plan should include a chain of command during such an emergency, an alarm or warning system, medical treat­ ment plans and shutdown and evacuation procedures Competent people should be assigned to serve as lookouts during severe weather. They should know how to spot threaten­ ing conditions and how to report them. Reliable people should also be assigned to direct occupants to pre selected shelters. The differences between watches and warnings should be understood. They should be issued only when needed When a tornado happens, know where to have employees take cover. Not just office employees, but crew persons as well as traveling staff should know where to seek shelter. In an office building, the basement or an interior hallway on a lower floor is safest Upper stones are unsafe. Ideally, get below ground level. If there is no time to descend, a closet or small room with stout walls, or an inside hallway will give “some” protec­ tion against flying deb ns In factories, auditoriums and large buddings with wide free-span roofs, have pre-determined shelters in basements, small rooms, or areas away from the main building. Stay away from windows, doors and outside walls and remember that fallout shelters can be used as tornado shelters. In all cases, shelter areas should be selected ahead, marked and supplied with first aid equipment, and employees should be trained, through safety drills, on proceeding to these areas. If hardhats are part of your standard safety program they should be used during a tornado to protect heads from flying debris. In the event of threatening weather, crews should be instructed to lie flat in the nearest ditch, ravine or culvert with hardhats or hands covering their heads to shield from flying debris. If caught out in the open, they should move away from the tornado’s path at right angles. A car or truck should never be con­ sidered as a shelter. The most they pro­ vide is a cover from flying debris and should be considered as a last <csort Disaster safety plans should not stop at just preparing for tornados. Trained personnel must be assigned to administer first aid to victims. Dangling wires and downed power lines are hazardous condi­ tions and should either be handled by trained personnel who can seal off areas and shut off power, or utilities should be contacted Removal of storm debris, to avoid injury during rescue and salvage operations, must be also done by assigned, trained individuals. Regardless of the size or type of organi­ zation, a disaster safety program must be designed to meet the “eventualities.” A company’s responsibility does not end at the beginning of a disaster. It is their re­ sponsibility to see that employees are safe and property loss is minimal. In the afternoon of Aoril 3 and the early morn­ ing of April 4, 1974, 148 tornadoes smashed across 13 states killing over 300 people, injuring more than 6,000 and causing over 600 million dollars in damage Tornados are deadly and a serious effort to establish a disaster safety pro­ gram should be part of any total safety plan. �Page 2 / April 8, 1982 / 77>e Sun af*d News, Middleville, Michigan BOYSENBERRIES Fruitful Thoughts from the Editor. Don Boysen THE DEADLINE is nearing for candidates to file nominating petitions for the seats open on the TK Board of Education. April 12, next Monday, is the deadline and we are hopeful that qualified candidates will want to put their name on the ballot. Too often, we find, too many of us are willing to stand “on the sidelines” and be critical of how our schools are operated, but do not want any direct involve ment. These are extremely difficult days for schools and it will take people with a great deal of wisdom and courage to make far reaching decisions. We need candi­ dates to apply for that thankless job, but we know you are out there! Remember, next Monday is the deadline. •• • THIS IS ONE YEAR when our Florida Snowbirds who have returned by now are finding out what we stay-at-homes have been experiencing since last November. For those of you still down there, you had better stay put. It looks like we may have snow until Memorial Day! • • • A LOT OF ACCOLADES have been passed out already, but we would like to add our compliments to those dedicated people who have made the Boosters work. Last fall, I must admit, we were not too optimistic about the Boosters raising $50,000 for extra curricular activities at TK. Like a lot of other people, I felt it would be an impossible task. Well, happily, I was wrong and it goes to show that people with dedication and conviction can do just about anything. In June the school district will vote on whether we want to fund a complete program at TK by our taxes, or rely on Booster programs. Well have more to say about that later JUST WHEN YOU think business is so bad, and the recession will stifle any growth or expansion, along comes Mai and Mary Dodds who operate the Middleville Variety Store. They are moving sometime soon to new and greatly expanded store facilities in the Masonic Building down the street. These folks are making an even greater investment in our community because they believe it can be successful. All of us in the community should give them every bit of support we can. Good luck, Mai and Mary! CANCER CRUSADE MONTH April is Cancer Crusade month. Dedi­ cated volunteers from the Barry County Chapter of the American Cancer Society will be collecting donations to help control and eradicate cancer. A goal of $29,700 has been set for Barry County, and the local chapter volunteers will be counting on residents and businesses to contribute to the Can­ cer Crusade Fund Drive to help fight the disease. POTLUCK POSTPONED The Caledonia Happy 60‘s Club were to have their Easter potluck dinner and program on Monday, but because of the severe storm, it has been postponed until April 12. Everything will be on the pro­ gram as was planned before, so be sure to come, bring a dish to pass, table service and a friend. A nice program is planned for you. If you need information, call Lillian at 891-8135. Our guests will be the After 60 dub of Middleville. The meeting will be at the Christian Reformed Church. Townships Offer Tax Proposal Robert Robinson, executive director of the Michigan Townships Association announced in a news conference the de­ tails of the MTA-supported property tax plan. The statewide organization, made up of 1225 member townships and 6.500 township officials, went on record as supporting a plan that takes the principal responsibility of supporting school operat­ ing costs off the property tax. MTA’s proposal would cut 75% off the school operating portion of the pro­ perty tax up to a ceiling of $ 1.800 for resident homesteads and $2,500 for resi­ dent farms. Those ceilings would be in­ dexed to the increases or reductions in State Equalized Valuation. Homeowners over 62 years of age would pay no school operating taxes. The tax plan also calls for holding schools, business and industry harmless from replacing any losses due to taxpayer exemptions. It also provides that agricultural and forestry land may be assessed on use rather than market value. The property tax cuts would cause a shortfall of $1.5 billion. Approximately $1 billion of that loss would be made up through circuit breaker savings and by in­ creasing the sales tax by 1 cent. The remaining $500 million could be made up either through the Legislature increasing the state income tax by eight­ tenths of a percent or cutting services. “Never before have the State coffers or the school funding system been in this kind of shape,” said Robinson. “Though we would have preferred to support a cut rather than a shift, we realize that this State is in deep trouble and can’t afford it right now. “We believe our members and the rest of the State are clamoring for property tax relief, however, and we feel it's time to base school funding more on the ability to pay.” BLOOD PRESSURE CLINIC The Red Cross Blood Pressure clinic will be held next Tuesday, April 13, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the V.F.W Hall on Main Street, Middleville. The clinic is open to people of all ages and there is no charge. TK Boosters to Collect Returnables The TK Boosters are sponsoring a returnable can and bottle drive the week of April 12 through 16 at the West and McFall elementary schools. Grades 1 through 5 will be participating, and there will be a contest wherein the class­ room at each school that collects the most cans will receive a Sundae Party with all the “fixin’s.” The week of collection will be topped off with a community-wide can and bottle pickup on Saturday. April 17. The Boosters will again be headquar­ tered at Sav Mor from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 pjn. on Saturday. Anyone wishing to drop off their cans and bottles may do so at this time.

Even the snow didn’t spoil the fun for all the kids. Our son was very pleased with his gifts and we were very impressed with their quality. We would like to publicly thank the sponsors of the Easter egg hunt for a super event. Your time and effort were very much noticed and appreciated . Your organizations are a service to the commu­ nity. Ed and Christina Gibson Look around you people, What do you see? Two can in every driveway and a motorcycle and skis. A pool? Oh, yes. A camper? Sure! A motorhome, no less. Two TV’s, a microwave, and Pac-Man, in place of chess! Oh yes, we live quite high, you know, regardless of the times. Our kids bask in the sun of Florida, or ski in the Colorado pines. We never bat an eye for things we want but really don't need. But let the school ask for sustenance, and many show their greed! Stop and think now, people. What will happen to our town. If you balk and whine and find excuses to put our millage down. There will be no need for businesses, and your homes will sell for naught; ’Cause when you destroy our school system. other homesites will be sought! Our home expenses have risen. Fuel and electric are out of sight. But we somehow manage to find the cash to entertain at night. We have to use good judgment and be fair to the issue at hand. And realize the schools cannot survive without the monies the 80’s demand. So Stop, Look, and Listen. Folks, before you pull that lever. .. Our town, our schools and futures, could be jeopardized forever!

Electric wires and poles can ruin even the best Taxi-kite-flying plans, and pose a safety hazard that can result in serious injury as well. Frank Johnson,Consumers Power Company’s District Manager in Battle Creek, is urging parents and school offi­ cials to warn youngsters of the danger of flying kites near utility lines. “The majority of kite-flying accidents occur when a youngster attempts to dis­ entangle his kite from a tree or power line. Accidents also happen when the flyer uses metallic or wet string which will conduct an electric current if it touches an electric line.” According to Johnson, the best way to avoid serious injury when kite flying is to HAIR DESIGNERS SHEAR PLEASURE HAIRDESIGNERS Shellie McQueen Owner-Designer Betty Welton Make-up Consultant for Lady FineUe Cosmetics PHONE \ 795-7719 109 RAILROAD MIDDLEVILLE (Under old po«t office) HOURS Tues.

If a man lives by the Golden Rule, others gradually come to see him as a person who deals fairly and honestly with his fellows, and a reputation develops. Nowadays, to many that is a process which takes too long They try to establish community confi­ dence quickly by public relations techniques “1 am a good fellow because it says so right here in my publicity.” But con­ fidence lasts only as long as it is backed by real service, lair dealing and a sincere feeling for those in bereavement. Have we achieved that kind of trust and confidence? That is for those who have used our services to say and there is only one meaningful way for them to say it.

All of Al Capp’s famous characters from Dogpatch will come alive on the stage for the two nights in the TKHS Auditorium. Tickets are $2.00 each. The produc­ tion is under the direction of Chuck Baughman. Shown above from one of the acenes in the play is “Stupefyin' Jones” (played by Julie Kadau center) and “Evil Eye Fleagle” (Kirk Steward, left) and “Available Jones” (Jon DeForest, right). The TK Boosters Club of 90 people was formed in September of 1981 and totally committed to a $50,000+ budget requir­ ing promissory notes to be signed and the utmost efforts of several people. This was an “emergency” club, which, if not formed, would have resulted in the loss of all extra­ curricular activities that do not pay for themselves or fall short of forecasted in­ comes - and they are: Class advisors (7-12), School paper, marching band, concerts, fall play/musical, annual,Cheerleader advisors (7-12). prom, homecoming, cheerleaders (7-12). wrestling (7-12). dances, student council, assemblies, forensics, cross country, boys golf, girls tennis, girls basketball (7-12), freshman football, boys basketball (5-12) boys tennis, baseball (JV-Varsity), softball (JV-Varsity), Boys and girls Track (7-12) Through the course of this school year, the active membership dwindled to about 25 people, and. though totally committed to the cause, these 25 people bore the bur­ den of attaining the $50,000 goal. The TK boosters are still committed to the cause, but cannot and will not be expected to carry the load for the 1982-83 school year. On April 13. a meeting was held to de­ cide the future role of the TK Booster or­ ganization. Following are the results of the meeting and a comparison of the objectives 1981-82 vs 1982-3. This year’s purpose was to totally fund extracurricular activities - next year the group will help support such activities. This year’s club provided volunteers to help run school activities in lieu of paid help, and will do the same next year. This year’s fund raisers included com­ munity events such as Do Da Day. the Food Fest. Dances. Carnival, and the Boosters plan to do the same next year. There will, however, be a reduction in the raffles, drawings, trips, etc. and there will be no commitment to the budget. This year’s funds were under total control of the school administration. Next year there will be a separate bank account for all Booster fund raisers and community events. Monies from cost saving projects (workers) will remain under school control. Officers will be elected the same as this year and by-laws will be developed. The TK Boosters are in full support of a “Yes” Millage vote and urge all to do the same. Boosters to Meet Monday Night The TK Boosters will meet next Mon­ day night, April 26, 8:00 p.m. at the TK High School auditorium. All TK Boosters and the public are urged to attend as Assistant Superintendent Gerald Page will be on hand to explain the upcoming millage vote.

The Fair also offers the opportunity to talk directly and share ideas with the educators who have designed these pro­ grams and who use them daily to teach students how to read, write and think. The programs featured at the Fail have been developed for students of all ages — from pre-kindergarten to senior citizens. Programs range from remedial instruction to academic enrichment, from working with computers to learning handicrafts, from eliminating school vandalism to preparing for retirement. Each of the programs represented has been visited and reviewed by a team of educators and has been cited as a Promising Educational Practice. All programs have been in operation for at least a year and have been prove n successful. The Promising Educational Practices Fair is sponsored by the Region 8 Kent Supplemental Center of the Kent Inter­ mediate School District. The following project has been cited as a promising educational program: Caledo­ nia High School Resource Room This special education program is for learning disabled and emotionally impaired stu­ dents.

The purpose of this annual event is to make citizens aware of the Emergency Medical Services available to them in their communities and how use them in time of injury or sudden illness. The theme of this year’s EMS Aware ness Week is prevention of trauma. Trauma is any sudden severe injury to the body caused by an external force. This may in­ clude motor vehicle accidents, recreational and sports accidents, agricultural and industrial accidents, fire, electrical shock, falls, etc. EMS Awareness Week is sponsored by SWM Systems. Inc., the EMS coordi­ nation and implementation agency for the 8- county Southwest Michigan region.. SWM has selected trauma prevention as its focus this year for the following reasons: - Trauma causes 50% of the deaths of children. - Trauma causes two-thirds of the deaths of teenagers - Tr auma is the most common cause of death and disability in ages 1-40. While Trauma can be devastating, it is often preventable. You can prevent trauma. • Use seat belts when driving or riding in a car. Make sure your passengers also wear theirs. Use of seat belts can reduce fatalities by 60% and serious injuries by 55%. • Always secure infants and children in an approved car seat. It’s the law. SERVICEMEN’S NEWS . . . .

Just west of me, another tree split and came down in the road, and on around the corner many branches, limbs, etc. This corner seemed to get it. No great damage, no one hurt, but a mess. Our manager worked all day Sunday so that we could get out. Not a very happy Easter. They will finish up today. Next door south of us, Alameda Isles, really got the brunt of it. Metal, furniture (porch) insulation strung all over, don’t know what belongs to whom. Had to close it off from sightseers.

The outfield should prove more than capable as senior star Dave Northrop captains the troops. Dave Perry brings range to the right field position while Tom Strumber ger and Gordon Smith take turns playing center. Harvey LaPierre. Devin Kidder and Jim Verlinde add depth from the bench. Coach Evans assures that pitching is no problem with Tom Strumberger paving the way as an expected league-leading hurler. Gordon Smith will work as the other star ter,yielding to Chris Miller, Tim Lukas or Dave Perry in times of trouble. Middleville kicked off this week with a 9-8 victory over Hopkins on Monday in the first of five games, two of which are conference contests. The win revolved around a six-run third inning, highlighted by a two-run swat over the left field fence by Bob by Jim T. Verlinde The Trojan Varsity baseball club is off to a strong start, and so are its hopes for an OK Blue championship. Middleville showed superb defense in its scrimmage against Lake wood last week after being forced to hold spring training indoors due to the poor weather. Coach Steve Evans expects his team's batting and pitching to equal its defensive prowess, forming well-rounded team which promises to be a surprise contender in the race for the league pennant. The Trojans will center their attempts at success around their impenetrable million-dollar infield Jed by-junior Jim Schipper who has played for the varsity since his freshman season. Jeff McKenna adds his strong glove at second base, while Tim Lukas mans first and Bob McCrath plays the hot comer. Jeff Kerber and Chris Miller provide solid back-up from the bench. Mike Lukas takes his rocket McCrath for the Trojans’ only extra-base hit. McCrath finished the night at two for three with four RBI s. Junior Tim Lukas continued to lead the team in batting, going two for four at the plate Gordon Smith was the starting pitcher, lasting four innings and giving up four runs on seven hits. Tom Strumberger finished up. allowing four runs on three hits and recording four strike-outs. Tonight the Orange and Black faces Forest Hills Northern at 4:00 on Trojan turf, and tomorrow Middleville will take the field at home once again to play Hud­ sonville. A special point should be made to come see TK play, as fan support is a must and the Trojans plan on delivering plenty of excitement.

Nine seniors form the nucleus of a po­ tentially strong track team. Bob Vanden­ berg has started out the year with good performances. He has run: 10:03 two-mile, 9:31 mile and 2:03 half mile. Paul French has started to show his running strength in the middle distances, and coupled with Mark DeYoung should give the team good 880 power. Brian Bekkering and Craig Bell, newcomers to track, hope to make contributions. Sprinters Marty Boysen and Mike Browne have shown early season speed. Stu London should give the team added 440 strength. Todd Sloan has made steady improvement in the shot and dis­ cus. Mike Brown also competes in the pole vault with good ability. Dave Kollar has given the team additional strength in the hurdles. Juniors Steve Berg. Wes Rosenberg. Dave VanSickle and Dave Barnard have shown early season speed. VanSickle high jumps and hopes to better his dad's long jump record. Jon Deforest and Jim Doyle are middle distance personnel. Ed Wilson. Scott Harris and Adam Wegner are work­ ing in the weight events. Regie Raab will run the 440, 880, mile and two-mile depending on where he is needed. Phil Teater is the team’s number one hurdler.

STATE BANK Special Thanks Given to Caledonia’s PTO submitted by Mrs. Crumback As a mother of a 6th grader who was allowed to accompany the 6th grade class to Lansing this week to see the State Capitol. I felt a real commitment to make sure the Caledonia PTO. who earned the money to sponsor this trip, be given all due credit for making this fun day possible. Another mother approached me and asked “Do you think this makes any im­ pression on these kids other than a fun day away from school?” Now as a fun day away from the school, there was no doubt in my mind, that it was* Maybe the laughter, giggles and shrieks on the bus convinced me of that. But as I thought a bit about her question. 1 remem bered the intelligent questions that had been asked when viewing the Senate and House of Representatives. They came from knowledgeable students who knew what they were talking about and they knew what kind of questions to ask. In my mind, I felt a certainty that some of the immenseness and history of the Capitol had indeed rubbed of in spite of them having a good time also. It’s not hard to be impressed when you walk inside as youre standing on the 5/8” inch thick glass floor that came from England 103 years ago, (I found myself looking for someone small to stand next to, I didn’t really want to be the first one to come crashing thru) and gaze up into the dome for the first time - you feel it’s completely staggering. And even thogh I’ve be?n there before -1 was impressed. Impressed also with the beauty of the ceilings and the ornateness everywhere. I wanted desperately to ask how they cleaned the enormous crystal chandeliers but it didn’t seem in keeping with the nature of the questions. We learned that this is th; third build­ ing dating back 103 years ago, and the paint has never been retouched. We learned about the rules and regulations of the Senate and House of Representa­ tives and where Senator Vanderlaan’s office is and what District we are from. It was pointed out the copper chandeliers were made from our State’s own resources and also the state emblem had been woven in the carpet. Governor Milliken’s office was a busy corner as he was about to unveil the portrait of a past governor. We also noticed the Governor’s car parked outside as we went for lunch. It seemed quite obvious that it must be his car very big - Very dark blue - very clean and shiny - and the license plate aaid MSG - 000. Well, that didn’t fit Milliken’s initials, but we moms and teachers figured out the MSG stood for Michigan State Governor - and the 000 meant that he didn’t have to stand in line and wait for his license. It was reported two mothers were seen pretending to get inside the car as another mother took their picture and they were overheard to say “hurry up. hurry up!” I suppose it might have been hard to explain to the guards why, they were trying to get in the governor’s car. Certainly I don’t think these could have been Caledonia mothers? The PTO sponsored the trip this year from almost $5,000 earned from the Penny Carnival and some at Santa's work­ shop. They also had funds to carpet three classrooms in the lower elemeptary level and purchase a metal strip with cork so pictures can be displayed all the way around the halls. Viewers with educational filmstrips were also placed in classrooms for individual use. So thank you PTO for all your hard work and bettering our school environ­ ment with your efforts. And thank you kids for letting the moms share your fun day just one more time. Heading the PTO this year are Al and Dee Hudson; chairman for Penny Carnival were Al and Pam Hackney with cochair men Nels and Jackie Speck and Don and Pat Hodgkinson. Santa's workshop was headed by Sandy Tuinstra.

Cancer is second only to acci­ dents as a killer of children in this country. Since opening in 1962, this non-sectarian research center has become the leader in developing new treatment pro­ cedures to save children stricken by catastrophic diseases.

Verlinde The TK Varsity baseball squad got off to a rough start in league play last week, dropping its first OK Blue contest to Byron Center 10-8 in eight innings. Then the Trojans picked themselves up to win two straight league games behind a pair of complete-game outings by pitcher Tom Strumberger. The first victory came last Friday on a 2 decision over a defensively tough Hud 4sonville team. Middleville came to bat in the bottom of the sixth on the short end of a 2-1 score, but came away with a de­ cisive three-run inning. The rally was sparked with back-to-back doubles by Jim Schipper and Tim Lukas to lead off the inning. Tom Strumberger went the distance, allowing only five hits, striking out seven and walking none. Gordon Smith helped with a two-for-three streak at the plate. Monday saw the Trojans pull out a 4-3 conquest of the Lee Rebels despite ten strike-outs and only seven hits by the Orange. Strumberger once again pitched all seven innings, giving up 12 hits, but checking Lee to two earned runs. Jim Schipper's fleet feet aided in producing a double and two runs, while Gordon Smith continued his torrid handl­ ing of the bat, collecting two RBIs. Center fielder Chris Miller complimented these performances by taUying two hits in three plate appearances. Following the completion of Monday’s game Middleville stood at 2-1 in the OK Blue with Schipper and Smith tearing up the league with their bats, hitting .500 and .700 respectively. After 17 innings pitched, Strumberger possessed a minute 2.88 earned run average. Tomorrow the Trojans travel to Kelloggs ville to play what may be the toughest team in the league, and Monday brings Middleville back to their home field to battle the Scots of Caledonia. Richard J.

Wednesday they defeated Lakewood 74), and on Friday lost their league opener to Hudsonville by a 5-1 score. Even though we dropped two matches last week, we expect this team to be very strong soon. We have had a tough spring in terms of practice. Going into the first week of action, the team had only prac ticed outside twice. While we were in the balcony of the gym, Forest Hills was playing at the Racket Club for three weeks prior to spring break, and Hudsonville took their annual trip south to Florida for spring practice.

People are realizing the need to record their wishes on funeral services for themselves. They recognize that this takes away the difficult burden of decision-making later during the hour of need and assures the family of doing the right things within proper bud­ gets. For some time, this funeral home has recognized the needs and desires of thinking persons to plan ahead. I have developed ways of assisting those who wish to make arrangements in advance. Our funeral home has quite a lot of families who have so re­ corded their plans and wishes with us. They appreciate the oppor­ tunity to make these wishes known. Most people have definite ideas about the services they wish for themselves: specific details such as the minister, the music and Scripture readings, flowers, costs, etc. They don’t have to pre-plan their funerals, but they know it’s a good feeling when it’s done and the family won’t have to worry about it!

The above photo shows a crew from Hickory Corners laying down the pipe. Thirty-five firemen from eight fire de­ partments battled a fire on the Cornelius Bruinsma farm last Thursday afternoon, and eleven hours and 260,000 gallons of water later, the fire was put out. Bruinsma had been burning tree stumps and brush from land he had cleared near the comer of Green Lake Road and Cherry Valley, two miles west of Middleville. The fire got out of control and with stiff winds blowing jumped into the Kaechele woods west of the Bruinsma property. Fire Chief Bob Kenyon reported that the Middleville farmer did not have a per­ mit to bum on the day of the fire. Water tank wagons from Caledonia , Wayland, Hastings. Freeport, Hickory Corners, Johnstown and Woodland took 260,000 gallons of water from the Middle­ ville hydrants in a constant shuttle to the fire scene.

Former Resident Honored in Ala. Ann Marie (Hicks) Lawler, formerly of Middleville, was recently recognized for service at the University of Alabama and by the local Girl Scout Council. Mrs. Lawler, the daughter of James and Peggy Hicks received the Penny Allen Certificate of Recognition for con­ tributions that benefit students at the university. This award is designed to recognize leadership activities, dedication to stu­ dents and student life, professional acti­ vities and the lack of past recognition for service. Nominations for the award are campus-wide and usually come from the nominee’s peers This recognition to Mn. Lawler, who has been associate athletic director at Alabama for the last eight years, came on the University’s annual Honors Day, April 8, 1982. On April 24, the Tombignee Girl Scout Council presented its “Thanks Badge” to Mrs Lawler for service over and beyond her responsibility as a mem­ ber of its board of directors Three years ago, Mrs Lawler began an Olympic Day for the scouts of the Council which coordinated instruction and participation in sports This event has become an annual outing and has tripled in the number of participants. ‘The money our riders earn will help continue St. Jude’s life-saving study of childhood cancer that has become so im­ portant to children all over the world,” said Bike-a-thon chairman Linda Solomon. ‘We’ll be showing that we care about children by helping this cause,” Solomon said. “Please support your rider with a generous pledge, and then help them get the funds to us as soon as the ride is over.” “Each rider will be given a lap card when they register at Thornapple Kellogg High School parking lot on Saturday, May 15, ’ Solomon said. “Every time they ride through the check point, we’ll initial the card. At the end of the ride, we’ll check it and sign it to show that the rider earned what the sponsor pledged.” Riders will then return to the sponsors to collect the pledge. “Well also be giving them a hospital bracelet saying ‘I’m riding for Terry’ to wear during the ride. I’m sure most of them will still be wearing them while they are making their collections.” Terry is a St. Jude patient who represents all victims of the illnesses under study at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The ride starts at Thomapple Kellogg High School parking lot, Middleville, at 12 noon on Saturday, May 15. “If you have not been asked to sponsor a rider, please call 795-9337 or 945-5066 and well get one to call you,” Solomon said Riders can still obtain sponsor/regis­ tration forms at their school and Buehler Realty, Inc , Hastings.

But where does the library fit into today's fast-food, instant-bank er. informa­ tion age’’ What does the Kent County Library System with it’s 17 branches, in­ cluding Lowell. Cascade. Alto. Caledonia and Kentwood, provide Kent County resi­ dents? Oddly enough, our fast-paced, hightechnology society has prompted a return to the “People’s University” concept. The computer has relieved librarians of time­ consuming tasks, allowing them to spend more time helping you the people seek­ ing information, knowledge and entertain ment. In the Kent County Library System ten of our 17 branches are “on-line” to a com­ puter system that speeds the check-out of materials and checking them back in after you have returned them. We expect to have the other seven branches on-line by the end of the summer. Besides helping librarians, the com­ puters help you. For example, by using the computer librarians can tell whether a book you want is checked out. on reserve, overdue, or at another library branch Computers let librarians focus on the most important aspect of the library — you. High technology sparked the informa­ tion age. Cable television and many other information sources are available to every­ one in Kent County. Libraries are the managers of the infor­ mation spewed by the information age. Think of all the films, record albums, how­ to books, romance paperbacks, fiction and non-fiction books, magazines, pam­ phlets and artwork that is being produced these days. The job of the library is to organize and preserve all these diverse forms of communication, a job that is becoming more and more important. In making this information available to you. the Kent County Library System offers many services. You can check out books, magazines. 8mm and 16mm films, record albums and art prints, reproduc­ tions of many famous artists. But the Kent County Library System offers far more than services. The system is. in the tradition of America, a “People’s University." With one hand we are managing the high technology information age. while with the other we are helping you.

James L Sherman ) Wayne L. Ftnkbemar ) Directors J. Irvin Rodgers ) Though they’re quite colorful, they’re unobtrusive and extremely functional. “They” are the color- coded stakes and markers used by Consumers Power Com­ pany and other utilities who participate in the state-wide "Miss Dig" program, which identify the location of underground pipes and cables. Frank Johnson, District Manager for Consumers Power’s Battle Creek District says the markers are really there for the protection of customers. “The. markers can avert pipeline rup­ tures. severe electrical shocks and inter­ ruption of utility services by alerting workman to the presence of gas. electric, telephone, water or sewer lines.” The system can’t work properly, how­ ever, if the markers are removed or damaged. “Oftentimes, youngsters will pull the markers out of the ground without realiz­ ing the significance of their actions ” said Johnson. “In construction areas where they have been taken down, or moved, serious accidents could result.” The stakes and wire markers are placed through Michigan’s “Miss Dig” program. The program is aimed at every­ one, from a contractor operating a crane to a homeowner planting a tree. “Miss Dig”, a telephone notification system, was set up in 1970 to prevent damage to underground utility lines. In 1979, the program was expanded to cover overhead utility lines as well. “Miss dig" is administered by Utility System. Inc., a subsidiary of Consumers Power Company. Over 250,000 callers reach “Miss Dig” each year, requesting specific information about the location of utility facilities. The single, toll-free number (800-482-7171) is convenient and simple to use. The cost of providing the service is borne by the 436 utility companies and municipalities which participate in the program. The color coding system used to iden­ tify the various potential hazards is broken down in this fashion. Red: Electric power distribution and transmission lines of utilities and municipal electric systems Yellow: Gas distribution and transmis­ sion lines; Oil distribution and transmis­ sion lines; other dangerous materials (e g., chemicals). Orange: Telephone and telegraph lines; Cable TV lines. Police and Fire Communication lines. Blue: Water service lines. Brown: Sewer lines. Green: Storm drains. “We really need the cooperation of the public in making sure that the utility markers are not disturbed.” says Johnson, “Only with their help can we remove the potential for accident and injury.” Michigan's Energy Costs . . Lower than most large U.S. cities A recent survey has discovered some reassuring news for Michigan residents beleaguered by rising energy costs. Few areas of the United States have escaped the sting that inflation and natural gas deregulation have dealt heating and electric bills. But the survey indicates that many Michigan residents have been hit less hard than persons bving in other parts of the country. The survey studied electric and gas bills in America’s 25 largest cities. On separate lists, the survey ranked gas and electric service in the cities from cheapest to most expensive. Only two cities-Memphis and Indianapolis-showed up among the cheapest cities for both gas and electric service Not even Sunbelt cities like Houston, Phoenix and New Orleans could make that claim. The bills were based on consumption of 500 kilowatthours of electicity and 100 ccf of gas. How does Michigan stack up? Consumers Power Company com­ pared its bills for identical con­ sumption with bills in America’s 25 largest cities. The result the com­ pany s bills, like those in Memphis and Indianapolis, are among the cheapest for both gas and electnc service The comparison shows that the company's customers are paying less for comparable usage than residents in many other parts of the country The survey comes at a time when growing concern about energy prices has turned things like insu­ lation, weatherstripping and home energy analysis into household words. The nation has been buffeted by an inflation rate that has pushed the Consumer Price Index up 135 percent since 1970. Prices have escalated for almost everything including clothing, food, homes, electricity and heating fuels. In fact, it would take $2.34 today to match $1 worth of 1970 buying power. Consumers Power Company’s electric rates have increased more slowly than the Consumer Price Index Still, infiation has taken a heavy toll For example, a typical residential electric customer of Consumers Power Company using 500 kilowatthours, paid an average of $12.12 a month in 1970. Any electric customer can tel) you he is paying much more than that in 1982 dollars. Restating today s bill in 1970 dollars shows the reason is inflation. If inflation could be eliminated, under our current rate structure an average monthly electric bill for 500 kilowatthours would only lie $12.50 or $11.37 today, depending on the customer's lifeline rate Without inflation, the price of electricity has remained virtually unchanged for the last 12 years. 771 ls adiertisement u paid for by the shareholders of Consumers Pouter Company �The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan / May 6, 1982 / Page 5 NEWS YOUR Caledonia NEIGHBORS with ANNE RAAB - Ph 891 1464 THELMA GEHL - Ph 891^557 Mr. and Mrs Gordon Martin.

Main, Caledonia - 891-8222 �Page 8 / May 6, 1982 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan TK Varsity Baseball Holds on to First in OK Blue by Jim T. Veriinde The Trojan varsity baseball squad’s hopes for an OK Blue pennant are more than alive after Middleville rolled over five straight league opponents, including pre-season pick Kelloggsville and arch-nval Caledonia. The Trojans downed the Rockets last Friday and the Scots on Monday, both by a score of 4-3. In Friday’s contest, TK collected one run in the first inning and two in the third to establish an early lead, but Kelloggsville rallied for three in the fourth to knot it up. Both teams went scoreless for the re­ maining three innings of regular play to send the game into extra innings Middleville scored what proved to be the winning run in the top of the ninth when Tom Strumberger reached first on an error, moved to second on a walk, pro­ ceeded to third on a passed ball, and scored on an error by the catcher As a team, the Orange pounded out nine hits and collected five walks. Gordon Smith and Dave Northrop each went two for four at the plate while Strumberger went two for five Strumberger pitched the full nine inn­ ings, allowing only seven hits and striking out seven. Monday’s battle saw the Trojans jump to a I -0 lead in the third inning on a solo home run by Dave Perry, and then tally three more runs in the fourth sparked by a Tom Strumberger double to lead off the inning. Caledonia squeezed out one run in each of the final three innings, but fell short to take its fourth league loss in six contests. The rivalry featured a complete game two-hit victory for TK pitcher Gordon Smith. Middleville’s lead-off batter Jeff McKenna snapped a one for 19 slump, smacking out two hits in three at-bats. Monday’s conquest extended the Tro­ jans’ win streak to five games and allowed them to remain at least tied for first in the OK Blue with a 5-1 record going Trojans Win One, Lose Two and scored 4 runs to bring her team lead­ The Middleville Girls Softball team ing total to 14.

Board of Education �The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan / May 6, 1982 / Page 9 Tennis Team Finds Winning Combination The Trojan tennis team won three matches last week while losing only one point. It seems good to finally have a set line-up. For the first few matches we con­ tinued to try to find the right combina­ tion. Now I think we have the best com­ bination for this team. With Chris Noah and Steve Scott lead­ ing the team, we have two of the best singles players in the area. Both promise to have great seasons after a slow start. Noah only lost 7 games in three matches last week. Scott only lost 3 games in his first two matches of the week, but ran into a determined player from Kelloggs­ ville on Friday. As the last set indicates (6-0), Steve finally got his act together and played some great tennis. Chapman and Buxton have been fight­ ing it out for the other two singles spots this year. Both players were starters on last year’s championship team. We expect to see Buxton at 3rd and Chapman at 4th for the rest of the year. Should make them both happy since their first goal this year was to play singles. Both played some fine tennis last week. We need to continue to work hard here, but both are Tine players and are expected to continue their success of last week. Schierbeek and Mathiesen lost a match against Hamilton which was a disappoint­ ment for our top doubles team, but on Friday they defeated a team from Kelloggsville that was undefeated, which made our week at first doubles a real success. Both players are working hard to improve their shot selection and im­ prove percentages We expect them to continue strong play throughout the season The second doubles team of Tooker and Wingeier lost their first match to Forest Hills Northern, but have gone un­ defeated since that time. These two also defeated a Kelloggsville team that was un­ defeated, and how about those scores against Kelloggsville, 6-2,6-2? This is a tough team and will be strong title con­ tenders for their flight championship in the conference tournament. The third doubles team of Courts and Lewis are young and inexperienced, but are showing real determination. Both players are improving as much as we can expect at this point. With three wins under their belts from last week, they should be picking up some confidence. Before this year is over, these two could find them­ selves in the conference finals of their flight. We only have two matches next week. Caledonia home on Monday and Comstock Park Wednesday. Both teams are strong and should give us a good challenge. The tennis team is now 4-2 overall and 3-1 in the league.

The purpose of the petition is to get the over 300,000 registered voters re­ quired to put the question of a nuclear weapons freeze on the November ballot in this state. The Michigan Mutual Nuclear Wea­ pons Freeze petition campaign is an initiation of legislation for the November 2 Michigan ballot. The proposal asks that the Secretary of the Michigan Senate and the Clerk of the Michigan House take a letter to the President, the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense, and all members of Congress to the effect that the State of Michigan wants a freeze on the testing, production and further de­ velopment of nuclear missiles, weapons . and delivery systems in the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. The freeze would be mutually verifiable and the money saved would be channeled into civilian use. 325,000 signatures are needed by May 15 in order to have the initiative on the November 2 ballot. Buy Lines by Ada Shinabarger, Extension Food Marketing Specialist May food shoppers will find turkeys and specialized poultry cuts among the better values in the meat department. Apples, cabbage, carrots, navel oranges, new potatoes and. of course. Michigan asparagus, will also be good values in May. The overall Consumer Price Index for March fell by 3.6 percent. This was the first monthly dedine in 17 years. Fbod prices dropped an adjusted 0.3 percent. Most economists agree this was due to lower farm prices and won’t likely be repeated in the April CPI Other information seems to bear this out. Retail prices for most cuts of beef, pork and poultry are increasing, primarily because of lower supplies. The number of cattle in feedlots was down 2 percent on April I, according to the U.S. Dept, of Agriculture. The USDA report also said 2 percent fewer cattle were marketed from feedlots during the past quarter. Fewer cattle being slaughtered at lower weights has reduced the amount of beef. Pork producers have also reduced sup­ plies in an attempt to make their opera­ tions profitable. The number of swine kept for breeding purposes has been re­ duced to 14 to 18 percent. Buyers for retailers say ham is high for this time of year and predict it will go higher. Futures for pork bellies (the stuff of which bacon is made) recently climbed. Chicken production and slaughter are also down. Turkeys are in good supply, however, mainly because of an 8 to 10 percent carryover of frozen birds. There are also large supplies of chicken leg quarters because of the heavy usage of white meat by a national fast foods opera­ tion. Look for especially attractive features on both turkeys and chicken leg quarters throughout the spring. The fresh produce picture is somewhat brighter. Ample supplies of excellent quality California strawberries will be available at moderate prices throughout May. The volume deal for grapefruit is over, but quality is still good. Soon the supply source will switch to California where the grapefruit are less sweet. Navel oranges, inown for their sweet taste and easy peeling, will continue to be available this month. Michigan apples are another carryover from fan that represent a good value. Be sure to store them in the refrige­ rator to retain their crisp, juicy texture. For those who want to gel a head start on summer, good quality Florida watermelons are available. A few chunks of fresh watermelon zip up a fresh fruit cup for a modest cost. The cunent western iceberg lettuce situation illustrates how important weather is all through the growing season. Rains at planting time are responsible for the variable quality and availability of head lettuce. High lettuce prices will most likely prevail in May, with 79 cents being a good price for a large head. Consider using cabbage, spinach, escaroie, romaine or endive as alternatives. Other salad vegetables, such as peppers, radishes, and cucumbers are in good supply and reasonable for this time of year. California asparagus is coming through in good volume now, but you may want to postpone eating your fill until Michi­ gan’s snapped asparagus comes about May 10-15. Some good quality Florida sweet com is making its way to Michigan supermarkets. New varieties have a longer shelf life and arrive in amazingly good condition at moderate prices. �Page 10 / May 6, 1982 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan THORNAPPLE KELLOGG SCHOOL signs facing M-37 traffic, both northbound and southbound.

May 22. a very special event. Registration will begin at 10:30 a m. at a point about one half mile west of the intersection of Yankee Springs and Gun Lake Roads. A choice of trails, ranging in length from 3 to 10 kilometers will pro­ ceed north from there. Each trail will be well marked and well patroled for the duration of the walk. Sponsor sheets are now available at various schools and at some businesses throughout the county. Everyone children, adults, teams from businesses, unions, churches and other groups are urged to take part. Jim Gordon. Walk Chairman, has special information for groups who would like to partipate in a team walk. There will also be a “golden mile” for senior citizens and handicapped persons who would like to help raise funds to fight birth defects. Many area businesses have donated prizes and gift certificates for the event. Prizes will be given to the adults and children who bring in the most money. All walkers who turn in their money during the first week after the walk will be eligible for a drawing for other prizes. Following the walk, the hungry parti­ cipants will enjoy a lunch to be served at the registration point. This has also been donated by area merchants. Those who do not wish to walk are urged to sponsor a walker. At ten cents per kilometer, the donation would be just $1.00 for the longest trail. The money thus collected during the walk would be used by the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation to Fight Birth Defects. 40% of the money raised here will be kept in Barry County for services to patients with the results of birth-related conditions. Such help may take the form of special shoes, braces, medicines or other special equipment. The remaining 60% is used by stare and national organi­ zation to fund treatment centers, as well as research into the cause and prevention of birth defects.

Main Street, to receive testimony and discuss a pro­ posed additional 1982 Village operating millage rate. The Village utilized an operating tax rate of 11.0297 mills ($11.03 per $1,000 SEV) for 1981. Because of a new State Law (Act 5 of 1982), the Village’s base tax rate is reduced to 10.5411 mills for 1982. This is 0.4886 mills ($0.49 per $1,000 SEV) lower than the 1981 operating rate. The Village has complete authority to establish the number of mills to be levied from within its authorized millage rate. The Village has been notified that because of the State of Michigan’s budget and cash flow problems, a substantial cut has been made in State funds to which the Village, by law, is entitled. In order to maintain basic Village services, the Villages proposes to levy an additional millage rate of 0.4886 mills ($0.49 per $1,000 SEV) above the 10.5411 mill base tax rate, or a total operating rate of 11.0297 mills ($11.03 per $1,000 SEV). This will provide an estimated 4.64 percent increase in Village operating revenues. Public comment on this proposed increase is welcome at the public hearing.

On Monday, they lost to the Fighting Scots of Caledonia by a 10 to 9 score. Middleville led the entire game and entered the last inning with a 9-6 lead. Caledonia, however, capitalized on Tro­ jan errors to score 4 unearned runs and take a 10-9 lead. Middleville then loaded the bases with only one out, but could not score the runner from 3rd. Sue King pitched a strong game, striking out 13 Caledonia players. Jill Smith led the hitting attack with 4 RBI’s. Getting one hit each were Sally Fox, Sue King and Deb Weeks. On Wednesday Middleville traveled to Comstock Park and defeated the Panthers in a 5 inning game 14-3. It was the best game played by Middleville so far this year.

This sets up another show­ down with Hudsonville this Wednesday at Hudsonville. Hudsonville is undefeated and alone in first place. A win by the Trojans this Wednesday would mean a two-way tie for first place. Last week the Trojans defeated Caledonia 7-0 and Comstock Park 5-2. Chris Noah was player of the match against Caledonia. Schierbeek and Mathiesen were players of the match aprinst Comstock Park. Our team continues to improve with each practice We still have plenty of work to do, but our players are confident and ready for the second half of the year. It was at this point last year that our team turned on the pressure after losing an early match to Hudsonville. They went on to claim their 5th title in 8 years. The team of 1982 has every intention of doing the same thing.

The tables were decorated with the tra­ ditional Mothers Day carnations. Following a program honoring mothers, grandmothers and greats, a sing-along was led by Hazel McCaul with Loretta Clark at the piano. We had punch, then came the time to find out who our oldest mother was and it happened to be Mrs. Caroline Huyck from the Clark Home in Grand Rapids, a former Caledonia resident who is 93 years young. Our youngest mother was 21 and our youngest daughter and great-granddaughter was 14 months. The mother who had the most daughters was Mrs. Reed Cooper. All honorees re­ ceived a pink carnation or rose arrange­ ment from the club. Thanks to all who participated in the program. I would like their names men­ tioned as they did marvelous jobs: Ella Fischer, Bertha King, Bea Cooper, Marilyn Shoemaker from Wayland, Evelyn Huyck, Leonard Welte, Madge Ruehs, Sara Col­ burn and 11 year old Jennifer Burri, great-granddaughter of Lillian Schultz who gave a reading “At Grandma’s House.” To Lillian for the arrangements of tables and program, to those who took care of the food, and all who came to spend the day with us. Our next potluck will be in the Cale­ donia Board Room on June 7 with two important speakers.

MOE SCHOOL PLANS PICNIC To the Editor, I guess it could be truthfully stated that a small part of the good in all of us, died a little last Tuesday, May 11, when a well known and respected business left the Caledonia scene. I speak, of course of Fred Williams Ford. If ever a small town needed the likes of a Fred Williams doing business, it lost more ground when his dealership closed its doors - a victim of high interest rates and continued recession. Fred was one of the few of whom it could be said ‘put Caledonia on the map’ through his selected use of newspaper, radio and television ads. I’d like to remember more of what the real Fred Williams meant to our commu­ nity. For many years he put on an all day sports spectacular for our youth by spon­ soring the ‘Punt, Pass & Kick’ contest. He also fed everyone who participated (plus the hundreds who just came to watch) enough hot dogs and sodas that would make even a ten year old want to buy his first car from Fred even if his driver’s license was light years away! Perhaps you knew him by name or reputation or worked along side him on some community project, or perhaps you are one of the few like myself who can call him a next door neighbor. In any event he’ll be missed. We all wish you well, Fred. C Richard Spiegel River Shore Drive, SE Please plan to attend the Moe School Community Picnic June 13th at the Schoolhouse.

The kids brought along their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and all enjoyed watching and cheering on the youngsters as they demonstrated their soccer skills for family and friends. Players, coaches and referees all re­ ceived their 1982 participation certifi­ cates. Special thanks go out to Elain North­ rop for setting up the concession stand, Corinne Wustman for running the A.YJS.O. booth, Keith Groves and Fred Kietzman for selling the raffie tickets, Dick Neeson and his crew for setting up and painting the field, and to Rev. Roger Timmerman for helping out in the announcer’s booth. The winners of the three grand prize soccer balls were Wendy Neeson, [Jan Parker and Bruce Wyatt. TK Track Team Members Set New School Records Rob Ward established a school record in the High Jump at the Galesburg-Augusta Relays with a leap of 6’4”. He teamed with Dave VanSickle to win the two man high jump relay in Galesburg. The old record was held jointly by Ilmar Prevert and Al Munjoy. The mile relay team of Bob Vanden­ berg, Regie Raab, Tom Walton and Dave VanSickle set the school mark at 3:34.0 eclipsing the record set in 1978 by Kevin Becker, Steve Hawthorne, Steve Kadau and Mike Sanford. Marty Boysen continues his outstand­ ing sprinting performances, his only de­ feat coming in the Caledonia meet. Seniors Mike Browne, Todd Sloan and Bob Vandenberg continue to lead the team with excellent performances. Freshman Tom Walton has turned in some excellent times of late. He has a great deal of potential. Tom and Todd Rounds, Mike Newhouse and Dave Karel teamed to third place in the Freshman Mile Relay at Galesburg. Junior Phil Tea ter has had some out­ standing performances. He long jumped 20’1^” in the dual meet victory over Kelloggsville. The team finished 5th in the Galesburg Augusta Relays with 43 points. On May 5 they defeated Hamilton 91-41. The Kelloggsville score was 102-30. After the dual meet loss to Caledonia the team rebounded with an 87-43 vic­ tory over Comstock Park. This Friday, Thornapple Kellogg will be host to 17 teams who will be com­ peting in the regional track meet, poth the male and female teams will be competing.

BEELER 914 W. MAIN STREET / MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN PHONE 795-3694 TK Tennis Squad Has Big Week with 3 Super Wins It was another great week for the Trojan Tennis team. Tuesday Lakewood fell to the Trojans by a 7-0 score. Wednes­ day it was Hudsonville going down to de­ feat by a score of 5-2. On Friday, Lee came to town to lose by a score of 7-0. The match with Hudsonville was the big match for us. A loss meant that Hudson­ ville would all but wrap up the conference title. A win by the Trojans however changed all that. Middleville and Hudson­ ville are now tied for first place and should finish first and second since the next three teams back all have three losses each. However both Middleville and Hudsonville are well aware that Caledonia, Hamilton and Kelloggsville have fine teams and could upset the Eagles or Trojans next week. In the Lakewood match our players dominated every point, losing a total of six games for the entire match. Courts and Lewis were chosen players of the match. In the Lee match our players were again strong at every point, losing only seven games for the entire match. Steve Scott was selected Player of the Match. In the Hudsonville match, the player of the match goes to Chris Noah, who de­ feated last year’s conference match champion 9-7 in the third set. I believe this was the best played singles match I have seen in 15 years of coaching in this league. Both players showed tremendous will to win, as well as different strategies throughout the match. Hard, well placed shots were the order of the day for these two fine players. Congratulations to Chris on a well played match. This is a big week for us. Monday we travel to Hamilton where we always have trouble winning. Wednesday Kelloggsville comes to Middleville with one of the most improved teams in the conference. Thursday we travel to Caledonia where we expect to get all the competition we want from their fine team. Friday we travel to Battle Creek to participate in the regionals. We were hoping to get in the Grand Rapids regional this year, but instead we will be going to the strongest regional in the state. That regional will help us get ready for the conference match a week from this Saturday. That is the day we are waiting for.

CALEDONIA SENIOR CITIZENS BUS TO TULIP FESTIVAL by Lillian Schultz On May I 2 a group of senior citizens from the Greater Area Caledonia and the Things-in-print class had a bus trip to the Tulip Festival in Holland, with instructor Carol Wesenberg, coordinator Sara Col­ burn and driver Barb Rose. We first toured the Wooden Shoe factory, then went on the scenic trails of Holland to see the tulips and the pink and white flowering crab trees. Next to the tulip farms where many varieties of tulips were in bloom, then we went by bus to the park by the lake where we ate our sack lunches. This made many think back to years ago when we carried our lunches to school. After lunch we got to our bleacher seats to sit in the hot sun and view the beautiful 2 hour parade which began at 2 o’clock with the street scrubbing and the appearance of the Town Crier open­ ing the parade for 1982. There were 21 bands, the street scrubbing with Gov. Milliken who donned the Dutch outfit, took a push broom and helped the many scrubbers. The beautiful floats making their appearance in front of us were very attractive. The finale was the Dutch dancers and Klompens with many taking part. There are 62 teams of Klompen dancers, 744 people in this group, and 54 teams of alumni dancers with 648 people who take actual parts in all the Klompen dancing. The dancers make or buy their own costumes at an approximate cost of $100 for the complete outfit. Details of material and design are specific and each costume must be inspected and approved before the dancer can participate. There are 11 provinces of the Netherlands and each costume represents a province. We stopped for ice cream on the way out of town, arrived back home at 6 p.m. Thanks to all who helped in any way to provide us with such a fine trip. 942 Greenwood, Middleville Phone 795-7298 REPRESENTING LOWELL GRANITE COMPANY USE SUN AND NEWS WANT ADS CALL 795 3345!

Main Street, to receive testimony and discuss a pro­ posed additional 1982 Village operating millage rate. The Village utilized an operating tax rate of 11.0297 mills ($11.03 per $1,000 SEV) for 1981. Because of a new State Law (Act 5 of 1982), the Village’s base tax rate is reduced to 10.5411 mills for 1982. This is 0.4886 mills ($0.49 per $1,000 SEV) lower than the 1981 operating rate. The Village has complete authority to establish the number of mills to be levied from within its authorized millage rate. The Village has been notified that because of the State of Michigan’s budget and cash flow problems, a substantial cut has been made in State funds to which the Village, by law, is entitled. In order to maintain basic Village services, the Villages proposes to levy an additional millage rate of 0.4886 mills ($0.49 per $1,000 SEV) above the 10.5411 mill base tax rate, or a total operating rate of 11.0297 mills ($11.03 per $1,000 SEV). This will provide an estimated 4.64 percent increase in Village operating revenues. Public comment on this proposed increase is welcome at the public hearing.

Dr. Norbert Hruby. president of Aquinas College, gave the Commencement address. Listed below are members of the class: WHAT IS A COACH? A coach is a person who gives up their free time away from work and family and forsaking their own pleasures to teach our youth a skill in a sport ... be it track, basketball, football, baseball, or whatever ... a lot of time is spent on practices and then on games, at home and away. And what do they get in return? Usually not much, only the satisfaction and knowledge that they have helped someone learn a skill or made that person a star in their own right. But they sure do not get much in the line of thanks. A coach tries to instill in our youth, which at times I am sure is hard with some of our youth of today, good sports­ manship, a good attitude and outlook for the sport they are playing in, how to win and not to be overbearing about it, and how to take defeat graciously, which is hard for all of us and which seems to be hard around our town in the past few years’ A fair coach to me, is one who uses all the players on the team regardless if the score is in the home team’s favor or if they are losing; a person who does not scream and become obnoxious because someone made a mistake - that player already knows it without being told by the coach. If the coach did yell at the players, he must have don it in the proper place and at the proper time, because I did not hear any yelling from where I was sitting. A good coach, to me, is one who has 18 players on the team and can only use 9 on the Held at one given time - but still has found the time and place to use each and every one at all games. If any of the players did not play a part or all of the game I failed to see it. Only one player on the mjured list, and he went along to keep stats for the coach, that I know of. but someone may prove me wrong and if so 1 stand corrected. A grand coach and person is one who can still be a human being through ad­ verse weather moody and opinionated kids, family emergency - take care of a child and home in wife’s absence - work at a job and still be there for our youth as a coach. Some of us can’t say the same for we don’t seem to have the time to watch our youth in their activity. So at this time I would like to say Thanks to a coach, firm and fair, good and grand, the coach of the Middleville JV Baseball team Tom Bremer - a hometown guy. I do hope that his team takes some time out to say thanks also. Some of them may never have the same chance to play in a game instead of sitting on the bench, game after game, and not playing in the game, at least part of one. But always to the practices and doing the same as those who get to play because they have more potential for winning a game. Our great team this year was: pitchers Robb Pickard, John York. Chris Gulch; catchers, Chris Gulch, John York, Hanz Davis, Robb Pickard; First. Kreg Kelley. Rob Denniston.Second. Robb Pickard. Jeff Mathieson; third, Ron Smith. Dan McCrath, short stop Tim Heffner. Tom Schwart. Pete Bailey ; left field Tom Schwart. Pete Bailey. Tim Browne; center field Darrell Smelker, Mike Wiley. Dan Moore. Kirk Steward; right field John Taylor. Tim Browne, Kirk Steward. Dan Moore. Only three players are from last year’s team, so most are first year learners, and to me JV' is a learning time for all sports where any youth should be able to get the experience for them to use during their varsity years. And this year our youth can say they are learning from their mistakes - oops, errors, made in the games they have played thus far This has been a year of errors for all the teams it seems. Only the CP game which was a no-hitter, and that was a fast paced game. Karen J Kelley Mother and fan A subscription to The Sun and News will keep you informed about your community.

BILL HOLLSTEIN Love, Patti, Kristin & Billy Be practical and responsible, Mich, conservationist urges The majority of Michigan citizens will support nature, even during tough economic times, if conser­ vationists are practical and docu­ ment their case, a Michigan expert says. Glen Sheppard s advice comes from a unique vantage point. For the last 14 years, he has watched Michigan's environment as editor of The North Woods Call, a con­ servation journal. Based in Char­ levoix, The North Woods Call has a large readership in southern Michigan. From his long experience, he knows that "troubled times are not new for conservation. They are new only for most of the young people who discovered the environment in the 1970s.'' “Maybe we went too far, too fast, and sometimes in the wrong direction in the 1970s," Sheppard says. "Government regulators and misinformed citizen zealots some­ times demanded-and got-too much.'' He says that government agency payrolls and political rhetoric are not what made Michigan the in­ credibly beautiful natural wonder­ land that it is. "This has been accomplished by deeply committed citizens since the late 1800s, Sheppard says. "This cadre of knowledgeable, selfless citizens is bigger and wiser than ever. The public is more aware than ever that cashing in natural resources for short-term gain is poor economics," The greatest threat to the state s conservation gams during Michi­ gan s troubled economic times comes from those who make un­ reasonable demands in the name of the environment Sheppard says. "Good conservation does not demand that we two-legged crea­ tures be sacrificed, live in the cold or teach our children to read by candlelight.' he insists. Charlevoix is a good example of how that approach can threaten the credibility of conservation, Shep­ pard says. "Those of us who have had the Big Rock Point nuclear power plant as a neighbor for 20 years have no problems with it Study after study has shown any rational person that it is no threat. "But in 1978, a small group staged a Vietnam protest-style demonstra­ tion against Big Rock. As far as I know they numbered only a couple dozen. I recognized none of their names as local folks. "Overnight local people were repulsed. I was horrified when newspapers and television called them "environmentalists,"" Shep­ pard said. "Friends I fish and hunt with, who live here for the sunsets, clean water and arr and quiet forests and beaches, were suddenly outraged at any and all so-called environ­ mentalists." Anything advocated in the name of the environment be­ came suspect. "They saw these people costing the county (for court hearings and law enforcement) and those who buy electricity from Consumers Power Company thousands of dollars. The local people knew their claims against Big Rock were based on ignorance." Sheppard says the "bottom line for conservation is being right and responsible. That takes hard, cau­ tious work. It requires the flexibility to reason and to compromise." "Ranting and raving, especially when dollars are short, are con­ servation s worst enemies," Shep­ pard says. This advertisement, which is paid for by the shareholders of Con­ sumers Power Company, is based on an article written by Glen Sheppard. 20-36- 187-E �Page 4 / May 27, 1982 / The Sun and Newt, Middleville.

The good news came in (he form of a 6-4 come-from-behind victory over the Fighting Scots of Caledonia last Friday, and the bad news took the form of a very tough 10-inning 6-5 loss to the OK Blue Champions from Comstock Park. Junior Tim Lukas stepped in to relieve Trojan starter Gordie Smith at Caledonia, and proceeded to pitch his way to the win. assisted by his own outstanding hitting, as well as the power punch provided by Dave Northrop and Jim Schipper. Monday’s game saw a rematch of the OK Blue's two top pitchers: Middleville's Tom Strumberger and Comstick Park’s Jeff Barnhart. Backed by two home runs by his team mates, Bamhart exited the game in the 5th inning with a seemingly safe 5-1 lead But Trojan bats greeted his reliever with a flurry of hits, highlighted by clutch performances from Tim Lukas and Jim Schipper. Lukas drove in the tying run with two out in the bottom of the seventh and the game remained dead­ locked until the 10th inning, when Strumberger ran out of steam. A near triple­ play erased momentarily the Panther scoring threat, only to see the eventual winning run forced to the plate by a hit­ batsman from reliver Lukas. The Trojans close the season with an 8-6 record and travel to Olivet Friday in a pre-District match. Parental and com­ munity support of the team has been greatly appreciated and a warm thank you is extended to all. 1982 team batting leaden were Jim Schipper (.429). Gordie Smith (.432), Tim Lukas (.306). and Dave Northrop (350). and the top pitchers were Tom Strumberger (4 wins) and Gordie Smith (3 wins). Next year’s team will sorely miss the play of the following graduating seniors: Jim Purvis. Bob McCrath, Gordie Smith. Tom Strumberger. Dave Northrop, Jeff McKenna, and especially the fine catching of Mike Lukas. Congratulations, players’ Junior Varsity Also Splits Coach Tom Bremer’s Junior Varsity Baseball players won one and lost one this past week giving them a 4-5 standing in the OK Blue. Wednesday found the Trojans battling the Rockets at Kelloggsville. but to no avail, ending the game with an 8-1 loss. The first 4 innings were scoreless for the Trojans while the Rockets had a 4-run inning in the third and a 2-run in the 4th. Complete sub­ stitution was made in the 5 th and 6th innings. There were several walks, but Chris Gulch was the only player able to score a run. Robb Pickard was credited with a double, but was left stranded on base. Dan McCrath was the only other player to receive a hit, but was tagged out at 2nd in the 7th inning and the game was over, adding another loss for the Trojans. Friday found the team battling Caledo­ nia at Middleville in the rain. It was a close game from start to finish, but the Trojans pulled ahead in the bottom of the 6th with a 7-6 score. Losing pitcher was Caledonia’s Dennis Kelly, while John York was the winning pitcher, shared with Chris Gulch. A tied bailgame in the 3rd inning changed when the Scot’s Kelly hit a home run with one man on in the top of the 4th. Another runner also scored, putting the Scots in the lead 5-3. The Trojans came fighting back in the bottom of the 4th when Pickard crossed the plate, giving the Trojans one more run. In the 5th inning Caledonia’s Scott Polmanteer scored a run while TK’s Ron Smith made it all the way around the bases on a bunt and error. The Scots were scoreless in the 6th and7th innings while Trojans Rob Denniston and Gulch both scored runs in the bottom of the 6th, ending the game with a 1 run lead for the Trojans. Other team members credited with scoring runs were Tim Heffner, Dan Moore and Hans Davis. Dan McCrath hit a double in the third inning.

SPRING §OCCER SEASON ENDS The Spring Soccer season ends this week with final games being played. Board members wish everyone a safe and enjoy­ able summer. We will be looking forward to the fall for the second half of our season. As a reminder, everyone who played in the spring need not register again for the fall, but anyone else interested in signing up should watch The Sun and News for notification of the fall registration. This is also the last week for team pictures, which will begin again in the fall. Vandenberg to Run in State The TK Boys Track team finished 7th in the regionals that were held at the Robert White Stadium this week. The meet was won by Muskegon Oakridge, followed by Kalamazoo Christian, Parch­ ment, Calvin Christian, Bangor and Fenn­ ville. Bob Vandenberg finished 2nd in the Mile with a school record time of 4:22.5 and won the two-mile in a 9:40.6 clocking. Bob will be the only Trojan to represent the boys team at the state meet on June 5 at Bangor. Marty Boysen turned in two excellent performancesand finished 3rd in the 100 and 5th in the 220. Senior Todd Sloan had an off day and managed a 6th place finish in the discus. Freshman Tom Walton finished 5 th in the 440 with a 53.5 clocking. The Mile Relay Team composed of Tom Walton. Paul French, Regie Raab and Dave VanSickle finished 5th with a 3:40.4 time. TK Tennis Squad Looks to OK Blue Championship The Trojan tennis team continued to press toward another championship last week by defeating Hamilton 5-2, Kelloggsville 7-0 and Caledonia 6- 1. Our team continues to improve each day. We hope that by this Saturday we will be ready for the conference tournament to be held at Ridgeview Racket Club in Grand Rapids. Our players are very con­ fident in their ability at this point and seem to be mentally ready for a tough day of tennis this Saturday. We are sure that Hudsonville will be ready also, so it s hould be a great tournament. Kelloggsville almost put Hudsonville away last week. With the match tied 3-3, Hudsonville came from behind at third doubles to win in the third set 7-5 . That of course gave Hudsonville the match by a 4-3 sore. Both Hudsonville and Middleville should win their final match of the year. Middleville plays Comstock Park at home Monday, then has the rest of the week to prepare for the conference tournament. Middleville and Hudsonville should go into the tournament with 11-1 records (the same as last year). Last year the Trojans outscored second place Hud­ sonville 38-26 in the conference tourna­ ment. This year other schools will play a bigger role in determining the con­ ference champion. Two key factors will determine this year’s champion, the level of play and the draw. The team that comes up with the best combination should win the 1982 conference title.

Tennis Regionals ’Too Tough’ Going to the toughest regional in the state proved to be too much for the Tro­ jan team this past week. We feel that we have one of the top 10 teams in the state again this year, but are unable to get out of the regionals. Kalamazoo Hackett and Battle Creek Springfield will again go to the state and should finish in the top five as they have for many years. Both Kelloggsville and Hamilton (in different regionals) feel that they have excellent chances of going to the state. Maybe some day we will get in the Grand Rapids regional and have a chance to prove our­ selves as one of the top teams in the state meet We did feel our players played well as the scores indicate. 1st singles: Chris Noah lost to Gales­ burg 6-7, 4-6 2nd singles: Steve Scott def.

This was a special meet for Scot seniors Dan Gierz, Curt Harig, Mike Mitchell, Jeff Russell. Dave Williams and Todd Zandbergen, who competed for the Fighting Scots for four years and never lost a dual meet. In this meet, the Scots again showed excellent overall strength as they won all 16 first places and all except 3 of the second places. Good performances were turned in by Scott Fliearman 44’8" in the shot put, Todd Marsman 6’4” in the high jump, Mike Roman - 53.6 in the 400 meter dash; and Tim Holliday - 2:06.5 in the 800 meter run. Top point scorers for the Scots were Pre arranged Funerals In recent years, there has been a greatly increased interest in pre-arranged funeral services. People are realizing the need to record their wishes on funeral services for themselves. They recognize that this takes away the difficult burden of decision-making later during the hour of need and assures the family of doing the right tilings within proper bud­ gets. For some time, this funeral home has recognized the needs and desires of thinking persons to plan ahead. I have developed ways of assisting those who wish to make arrangements in advance. Our funeral home has quite a lot of families who have so re­ corded their plans and wishes with us. They appreciate the oppor­ tunity to make these wishes known. Most people have definite ideas about the services they wish for themselves: specific details such as the minister, the music and Scripture readings, flowers, costs, etc. They don’t have to pre-plan their funerals, but they know it’s a good feeling when it’s done and the family won’t have to worry about it! There are three reasons to pre-plan your funeral Economy - You can save money when you pre-plan by stipu­ lating only as much in service and merchandise as you wish. Personal Choices — You can choose your own clergyman, music, scripture and the kind of service, down to the smallest detail. Inner Security It is a weight off your mind, knowing that your arrangements are complete, and the costs will not be a burden to your family. I invite you to visit or call about pre-planning your funeral ser­ vice. There are no costs or obligations, and you don’t even have to pre-pay your funeral to have your wishes made known.

LOUIS, MO. by Hazel McCaul Loretta Clark and I had a wonderful 4-day trip to Belleville. Illinois and St. Louis. Mo. We left Grand Rapids last Tuesday morning and stopped at Bishops Buffet at Champaign. Illinois for our dinner. Guess what° We had to pay Si for our cloth napkin, so watch it. paper is much cheaper. Arrived at our motel at 4:30 and got settled in our Pilgrims Inn room, readied up a bit and then to their restaurant for lunch. We were at the Shrine of “Our Lady of the Snow’’ so we attended mass at 9:00. then to bed by 11 00 for a tour of the beautiful 200 acres of rolling hills on Wednesday. This is a replica of the Lourdes Grotto in France. We heard the Angelus bells in the rose garden and reflection pool. They have roses that change into four colors during the course of blooming. Fourteen stations of the cross wind along the half mile and each station has its own recorded meditation. The apartment community complex has over 200 retired residents. An out­ door amphitheatre that seats 6200 people is very beautifully lighted in the evening. At Christmas time they have “Way of Lights” with over 100.000 lights from the day after Thanksgiving through the Sunday after New Year. We stayed in this area for three nights. Thursday we toured St. Louis and up into the Arch. We go 50 feet below ground to board our capsule that takes us on our journey. Five people can ride in each one. There are eight capsules joined to­ gether to form a train-like vehicle that runs on special tracks up the hollow curved legs of the arch. There are leveling devices that keep you in your normal po­ sition through the sweeping curve on a 4-minute ride to the top. You get out and walk a few steps to the observation room. 630 feet above the ground. You can look out of the 16 windows to the east the Mississippi River and banks and to the west St. Louis downtown. It is just thrill­ ing and do go see it and get a thrilling ride too. Later we toured the Old Cathedral of St. Louis. It has so many beautiful mosaic panels and statues, and it was so quiet and peaceful as our guide took us through this old. old church building. Had lunch today at Marlyns Kitchen in downtown St Louis. We visited Anheuser Busch but it was too late to see the horses and complete the tour, but we did go into their gift shop. Back to our motel and left Friday morning for home. Had breakfast at Big Mac in Illinois, then stopped at Vandalia for a noon snack as we were to have our big meal at Schulers near Benton Harbor that night. Arrived back in Grand Rapids at 8:00 o’clock, a tired but happy group of senior citizens, and many new friends had been made. Now what next? ROVING REPORTER with HAZEL McCAUL Bud and Catherine Cisler, John and Margaret Fields spent from Thursday thru Sunday at Burt Lake fishing. No big fish stories this time. Too cold and you can’t make them bite either, but they had the usual good time. Loretta and I had dinner Sunday at Circle Inn and then called on Mildred and Denise Chase, Louie and Frances Bilski. both at Gun Lake. Had lunch with the Bilski’s. Jerry Colburn colled on me Sunday evening, the first I have seen her since our returns from Florida Don’t forget the Moe Community Pic­ nic June 13th at the School House. Pot luck picnic dinner. I expect John up to spend Memorial weekend with me. If you would like to stop by and see him, he would be more than happy to see his friends. Memorial Day we will be home. Saturday evening I attended a birthday party at LeonColborns for granddaughter Missy. We had a cookout with barbeque chicken. Th e whole family attended and all had a good time around the picnic table set up in the garage. Happy ninth, Missy. Northwest Thornapple with HAZEL LUND Dick and Betty Bryans, Bob and Hazel Lund are proud to announce the birth of a new grandson, Matthew Brian, born at Borgess Hospital, Kalamazoo, May 21. Matthew weighed 8 pounds, 13 ounces and was 23 inches long. The happy parents are Bob and Marcia Lund of Allegan. Friday evening Bob, Hazel and Charlie Lund drove to Kalamazoo to visit with Marcia and see the new grandson. Friday noon seven ladies who gradu­ ated with Alice Brown in 1950 at Grand­ ville High School had a luncheon at Mrs. Bruce Ormiston’s. It was the first time the ladies got together in 32 years. Thursday evening Dave and Beth Brown, son Nathan and daughter Amy of Belding visited with his folks, Frank and Alice Brown Tom and Diane Landman enjoyed a movie Friday evening at Woodland. Mr. and Mrs William Lucas, Seth and Heidi, Walt and Linda Nelson, Laura and Michelle, enjoyed family fun day at the Whitneyville Bible Church Saturday afternoon.

Sometimes in past years, nearly all of the 1.6 million gravesites in the national cemeteries have been adorned with a small American flag. In recent years, however, the cemeteries and other VA facilities have adopted an innovative way to honor the memory of those who served through the creation of an ‘‘Avenue of Flags” program. On roadways, or alor^g walkways, standard burial flags are (Maced on staffs and secured in permanent metal holders. The flags are spaced some 20 feet apart to provide symmetry. Thanks to the re­ sources and personnel of veterans service organizations, and volunteers from other civic, community and fraternal groups, this program is growing in stature nation­ ally. The flags, which has been presented to families or friends of a deceased veteran, are donated to the VA If more flags are received than needed for display, a rota tion system is used to insure they all are eventually flown. The Fort Custer post Cemetery will open Memorial Day 1982 and eventually expand to become one of VA’s ten large regional cemeteries.

The Army still maintains Arlington National Cemetery in suburban Washing­ ton D.C. where the annual Memorial Day wreath-laying ceremony is held at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Nearly 1.1 million Americans have died in war since the nation's beginnings. Over 38.9 million have participated in the ten major conflicts in American his­ tory. More than 30 million living Ameri­ cans have served in the Armed Forces. The history of the national cemetery system dates back to 1862 when the need arose to provide burial grounds in or around many civil war battlefields. Later cemeteries were opened to all honorably discharged veterans. The first Memorial Day was observed 114 years ago. THANKS FOR HELP!

TheSun and News June is about to “bust out all over.” So are some exceptionally good food values, such as seasonal fruits and vege tables, broilers, eggs and turkeys These, plus news of lower prices for coffee, cocoa and sugar, should give food shoppers a better than usual month Michigan strawberries are now pre­ dicted to come to market m volume the first week in June, a little ahead of schedule. The crop looks good at this point, but weather at harvest is most critical. The outlook for early peaches trom the South is not good. North Carolina was the hardest hit by early spring freezes and hail, which cut production of Southern peaches by 53 percent. California had weather problems which will curtail production of early plums. A good crop of Valencia oranges is coming to market now. Sizes are larger than they were at the beginning ot the season. Western peaches are in fairly good shape and nectarines are looking very good. Eastern nectarine producing areas did not fare so well and will not be a big factor this year. Melons from Texas and Florida arc coming to market in such volume that shopper’s won’t have to wait until July 4 to buy a whole one. Michigan melons won’t be available until the end of July. A large array of vegetables is avail­ able. and the list gets longer every day. For starters, head lettuce during June will come almost exclusively from the Salinas. Calif, area. Size and quantity may be variable for a week or so, but should then reach the high standards shoppers have come to expect. Lettuce prices will probably drop, allowing con­ sumers to buy other salad fixings, such as vine-ripe red tomatoes, radishes, green onions, cucumbers and peppers. As the season progresses and sources of produc­ tion move closer to Michigan, prices will moderate. Sweet com, green beans, broccoli and cauliflower will be coming in from other states in June. The quality of these items is exceptional because of new varieties that hold well and improved packaging and refrigeration. An ample supply of meat and poultry is available to go with all these good fruits and vegetables. Large storage holdings of turkey make it a likely candi­ date for specializing throughout the summer. Broilers will also be featured often by supermarkets as they scramble for specials in the meat department. Beef prices and hot prices are up for farmers. This is a necessity if farmers are to remain in livestock production. Retail prices for beef and pork cuts have also increased and likely will go higher But there are some good values available in both beef and pork. The Memorial Day weekend kicks off the promotion for picnic foods and supplies. Look for specials this week on hot dogs, mustard, catsup, relish, potato chips, cookies, ice cream, watermelon and carbonated beverages. Now is a good time to stock up on paper goods (plates, cups, napkins) for the summer.

All letters must be signed, but names will be withheld for good reason and at the discretion of the newspaper. Views express red in this column are not necessarily those of The Sun and News. Our hearts are heavy today here at Historic Bowens Mills. Some dogs killed our little goats early this morning. They were so cute, so harmless and such a joy to us. The neighborhood kids loved them also, there was always someone playing with them. Our Saturday visitors went to see them first - then to see the mill. Our hearts are heavy today as we greet our guests, we smile (and fight to keep the tears back) and try to carry on as if nothing has happened, As we visit with our old and new friends, we try to forget how we felt when we found them this morning. Our hearts are heavy today. Someone has destroyed something we held dear, because they didn’t care enough for their fellow man to keep their anim als under control.

Practice Caledonia Celebrates Fourth in Grand Style By all reports the annual Fourth of July Celebration held in Caledonia last Saturday was a smashing event. Although the weatherman looked as if he didn’t want to cooperate early in the day, the rain cleared and the day started with the traditional parade (scenes of which are shown here). The activities moved to the Park and continued with a chicken barbecue, games and arts and crafts booths. A fitting conclusion at dusk was crowd-pleasing fireworks display. The Jaycees and Auxiliary are to be complimented on once again organizing a “grand event’’’ Dr. Douglas Shumway of Middleville announced this week that he has a new associate physician that will join his of­ fice on July 19. Dr. Linette Showerman will become Dr. Shumway’s partner at that time. Dr. Showerman, a graduate of the Michigan State University in 198 1 with her medical degree, recently com­ pleted her internship at Grand Rapids Osteopathic Hospital. Born in Ohio, Dr. Showerman graduated from high school in the Saginaw, Michigan, area. She re­ ported to The Sun and News that she is looking forward to a general family medicine practice in Middleville in association with Dr. Shumway. Charlton to Hear ‘Chug’ On Weekend Charlton Park Village and Museum will host the eleventh annual Antique Gaso­ line Engine Show Saturday and Sunday, July 10 and 11. The show, which features antique stationary and traction engines running and working, will run from 10:00 ajn. until 5:00 p.m. each day. The impact of the mechanical revolu­ tion of the nineteenth century on rural America is illuminated by the demonstra­ tions which show how horsepower generated by steam and gasoline engines took over from the four-footed kind, and America became the wonder of the industrial and agricultural world. Antique stationary engines will be operating old farm equipment such as corn grinders and shellers, gnst mills, buzz saws and drag saws. Antique tractors will be on exhibit and running throughout the show A parade of antique tractors around the Park’s village green will highlight each afternoon. Following the parade, the old tractors will perform a series of com­ petitive events. These indude a quick­ start competition and a slow race to de­ termine which tractor can deliver power at the slowest speed. One of the rarest pieces of equipment in the show will be a Westinghouse 15 hp steam traction engine owned by Chariton Park. The engine, built in the late 1800’s, CONTINUED ON PACE 3 �Page 2 / July 8, 1982 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan Prize Money Available July 9th Jerry Keegptra, Secretary and Treasurer of Association, will be at the Middle Villa July 9 from 5 - 7 p.m. and July 10 from 11 ajn. to 1 pm. for winners in the State Bowling Tournament to pick up their prize money.

We were fortunate to have the Barry Amateur Radio Association The antique engines will be on exhibit and running this weekend at Charlton Park. provide us with communication.

Inc., are currently finding out how they can have impact on the com­ pany’s future. Two teams in the Mid­ dleville plant have volunteered to be the first groups to undergo a new management philosophy promoting total employee involvement in jobrelated problem solving. The project has been named Sim­ pson Team Success (STS) and uses the team-participation concept of problem solving, according to Tom Fellows, program coordinator STS is a quality, circle-type program that has been altered slightly to fit the need of Simpsons'Fellows explained The definition of team problem solving is as follows: A team is made up of 3-10 volunteers who are inter­ dependent and generally from workrelated areas or working at related tasks The team meets on a regularly scheduled basis — on company-paid time — to discuss, determine, analyze and propose solutions to work related problems. Team members receive a minimum of 10-20 hours training on techniques in problem solving, decision making, group process, data gathering ana analysis. The supervisor becomes the team leader and is trained in group dynamics so he or she can enhance, but not in­ fluence. a team’s performance. The teams are encouraged to draw on the resources of the company’s management and technical personnel to help solve problems. Fellows said. The team’s activities may cover a broad area of involvement with no restrictions imposed on those areas See CIRCLE PLAN’ Page 12 Special Issue Next Week To allow the Sun and News staff a week s vacation, w e will be printing next week s paper this weekend, and the office will be closed July 19 24 Many of our long-time readers should find next week s paper rather interesting, as we are reprinting a 1 942 edition of the Middleville Sun and News.

Available to most folks, their nutritional goodness can become an important part of anyone's diet. Like to try catfishing? Get up bright and early one morning and head for the nearest riv­ er, lake, or farm pond. Nighttime will also pro­ duce good results. In fact, "cats ’ can be caught at all times of the day, at all water tern peratures and depths The best time to plan your expedition, however, is after a heavy rain especially in the spring When other fair weather fish are sluggish and temperamental, the hungry catfish forage about in the freshly rejuvenated waters. Some people prefer an old fashioned bait­ casting rod and reel but almost any type of ar rangement —from Grandma s cane pole to a fancy spinning rig—will catch a catfish Use a small-to-medium-size hook and a sinker that’s heavy enough to keep your bait on the bottom, in cat territory. The weight needed to do this will vary depending on water conditions. Most conceivable baits will entice these tasty critters, but garden worms are the old standby lJust don’t take too many out of the vegetable patch') Cast a generous bait to the bottom, and wait for the slow, deliberate tugging which signals that a catfish is biting Above all. be patient! If the water you’ve chosen to fish is muddy, sluggish or still, you re very likely to catch a bullhead (a member of the catfish family that grows to no more than 20 inches long and 4 M2 pounds in weight* All of the three common color phases of the bullhead —black, brown, and yellow-have pink meat that s sweet and fine Faster, clearer wa ter will generally turn up nice channel and blue cats (especially from that little pool be neath a steady current where natural nutrients abound* The variety really doesn t matter, however, because all catfish are readily distinguishable from other fish (by the "whiskers or barbs that grow out of their upper jaws, and the skin-instead of scales -on their bodies* and all are among the finest feasting anywhere Once you’ve landed your eating sue fish (eight inches and up*, you re faced with the procedure of dressing it out. No problem First, grip the critter so that its three pro­ truding fin spines are firmly extended between your finger* Beware of those spikes they can easily inflict a painful long-lasting wound' Next—with a sharp knife cut a shallow ring about the fish s neck, immediately behind the gill openings . Since all catfish are scale less they must be completely skinned but the operation is actually pretty easy Grasp the edge of your incision with a handy pair of pliers and simply peel the skin down banana style Then remove the head. fins. tail, and entrails so that you re left with a large piece of meat that is ready to be washed, cooked, and eaten. (incidentally, the above system works for other scaleiess fish and rattle­ snakes!)

Middleville Manufac­ turing Division Manager, said that American industry is just now begin­ ning to recognize that the “circle" plan for maintaining quality is their only salvation to compete in the world market. The idea is not new Japan borrowed the American-born innovation in the early 1960s and it is universally accep­ ted in factories there Japan had a critical economic need to overcome its repuUtion as a source of cheap, poorly made goods. Quality control circles were the answer and are a way of life in the typical Japanese plant. It is estimated that four out of five Japanese production workers are mem­ bers of a quality-control circle. Mackey reported that as • a supplier of automotive components, quality has become uppermost in importance. “If we cannot mainUin less than one half of one percent return (of components), we will not be called upon to supply parts to the automotive industry." said Mackey. Production quotas are still important to make a company profitable, but quality is moving up the ladder of priorities, said Mackey.

JULY 22, 1982 * MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 £— Lie 112th YEAR * NUMBER 29 False Information Clouds TK School Millage Issue On August 3, the people in the Thornapple Kellogg School District will once again be faced with an operational millage question. Back in June, over 1,800 voters came to the polls and narrowly defeated the issue by 94 votes. In an effort to clear up some of the false information that may be going about the district, and to “lay it on the line,’’ The Sun and News outlines some questions and answers below: DOES THE SCHOOL REALLY NEED THIS MILLAGE? Answer: Yes. TK High School has already been judged sub-par by University of Michigan standards. Any more cuts would mean that much less for the children of the district. HOW MUCH OF THIS MILLAGE IS GOING FOR SALARY INCREASES? Answer: It is not known exactly at this time; the em­ ployees’ situation of the school is as follows: BUS DRIVERS - the contract is open. They have agreed to accept the same adjustment as other groups. NON-INSTRUCTIONAL - Contract is open and is currently being negotiated. TEACHERS - Contract will be up for review on August 1. The teacher salary at TK ranks 17th out of 21 districts in the Kent Intermediate District. ADMINISTRATION - their salaries are tied to the teacher pay schedule. SUPERVISORS - they have agreed to go with what the other groups settle for. This Week We Take You Back to 1942 HAS THE SCHOOL ACTUALLY MADE MANY CUTS? Answer: Consider the following: 1. All athletic activities have been eliminated, (last year the Boosters funded these activities. This coming year they have told the school they do not plan to do so again). 2. 30% of the teaching and professional staff have been laid off. 3. 50% of the administrative staff have been eliminated. 4. 20% of the non-instructional staff has been laid off. Not even General Motors, Chrysler or other service organizations have made these kinds of cuts. And yet, the school is still being criticized for operating as usual. That is simply not true! TK has dropped from being one of the best school systems in the area to of­ fering a sub-par program. HOW DOES THE COST OF OPERATING TK COM­ PARE WITH OTHER DISTRICTS? Answer: TK has always been on the lower end of the millage structure. In Barry County, TK ranks 3rd out of 3 schools. In a four county area, TK ranks 51st out of 60 schools. WHY HAS THE SCHOOL BOARD PUT THE MILLAGE ISSUE IN ONE PACKAGE? Answer: It was felt that the 16 mills is the very minimum amount the district needs to operate a basic educational program. Also, so-called “split” millage issues have been voted down the last two years and the board feels they do not have any optional items left in the budget that can be cut out. In this week's Sun and News, you will find 3 large loaves of bread ■ advertised for 3 for 25‘! Or how about a 24 z 24 - 2 light storm sash for 12.50? Grain prices at the Middleville Elevator were $1.21 for wheat and 85* for corn, per bushel. Well, before you rush out to buy that bread, take a look at the center section of this week s Sun and News. As our staff is on vacation, we prepared this paper last weekend and have included a reprint of the September | i $ £ 10, 1942, Middleville Sun and Caledonia News. Forty years ago Clare Hoffman from Allegan was running (Again!) for Congress; America was at war. and many of the local sons were fighting it; the Praine Gar­ den Club was gettin ready for their Flower Show and Caledonia was going to have eight new teachers. At any rate, we thought you would enjoy reading the names of those folks who made the news 40 years ago! �P*g*2 / July 22, 1982 / Th» Sun tnd Nna, Middlttrillt. Michigtn Doing MORE...With LESS! __________________________ A) the itaff o/__________________________ THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS I A HOMEBUILT MOTOR OIL RECYCLER Staff researcher Dennis Burkholder has come up with a dandy little inexpensive device that allows him to recycle the lubricant in his car »crankcase "It s really a snap to put together, since all the plumbing pieces were manufactured to fit each other. Dennis points out The only real fabrication involved is cutting the pieces to size, drilling holes where indicated in the illustration, and forming the 90° arc in the gadget s one long leg which I did with a tubing bender, but it could be done—in a pinch—by merely hand bending the material icarefully. to avoid causing any comer weakening kinks) Also. I chose to weld all the legs to the angle iron sup­ port However, anyone who doesn t have access to welding equipment could readily double-bolt each limb-including the curved one. after flattening its end and fitting it to one side Of the angle-to the metal stanchion The actual filter element is nothing more than a roll of ordinary bathroom tissue, which is mounted on a retrieving pole and snugly fit into the 4‘-diameter PVC drainpipe A center-drilled wooden disk serves as a support platform for the paper drum, yet is small enough to allow the lubricant to pass through the filter Finally, an old can is fitted with a porcelain light bulb socket, provided with an access hatch for globe-changing, and end-drilled so the whole affair can be slipped over the two-footlong oil-exit tube The process starts when you pour the used motor oil into the opening of the large column The lubricant passes through the layered roll of paper, at a speed that can be adjusted by the needle valve, and then drips into the inclined copper pipe where the light bulb warms the insulated tin chamber surrounding that conduit section Naturally, the heat is transferred to both the copper and the fluid passing within, and as a retuit of the 215° temperatures achieved, water vapor and-of course—high er volatiles such as unburned gasoline are driven from the liquid and exit out the high end of the pipe as fumes. I've achieved my best processing results when operating the device with the control valve nearly shut to maintain a drip simply because both the filter and the evaporator are then given more time to work " The researcher has also discovered that a 60-watt bulb may not provide enough heat to maintain the necessary temperature (above the boiling point of water) in the vaporizing chamber . . so. if your work area is especially chilly, he suggests you use a 75 watt lamp Despite its 'Rube Goldberg appearance. MOTHER'S device has proved to be fair­ ly effective We sent "before and "after" crankcase oil samples to an independent pe­ troleum analysis laboratory, and the results—though not earth-shattering - indicated that the homebuilt recycler did an adequate job. For instance, wear-causing iron, silicon, and chromium particles were reduced by 31.7.4 and 16.6%. respectively. At the same time, the concentrations of some beneficial additives —including magnesium, boron, and phosphorous detergents — increased to the tune of between 200 and 389% while the Total Acid Number (a measure of low pH) decreased by 9 2%. probably as a result of the alkaline effect of the detergents The final test showed that the viscosity was reduced by 10.4% . . but it was still well with­ in the acceptable limit, having an equivale.it of about SAE 30W. Dennis prefers to recycle the oil from his own vehicles, rather than collect "strange" lubricant from the service station (where it max contain higher levels of dirt, anti­ freeze. and gasoline than does his "used" lubricant) But either way. he's saving cash with his TP. re­ processor.

Manufacturers of carbonated beverages containing caffeine strongly reacted to publicizing this information. Now those same manufacturers are coming out with non-caffeinated versions of their products. Soft drinks are a lucrative market in the United States. Sales of carbonated beverages in 1981 •rose 2.7 percent to just over 6 billion cases. That works out to 39.5 gallons per capita consum­ ption. according to the publication Beverage Industry. Carbohated beverages are mostly swetened. flavored water with car­ bon dioxide added. Purchased in 12 ounce cans at regular prices in a retail store, the cost for that 39.5 gallons per person could be as much as S17A.5O for a nationallyadvertised carbonated beverage.The cost would be about one-third less if the same pop is purchased in liter or 2-liter con­ tainers. Of course, the cost would be greater than $178.50 if the cans were purchased from vending machines. Diet pop accounted for almost 14 percent of all soft drinks consumed last year. The non caffeinated soft drink segment was cited as another area of growth. One of the newest entries in the refrigerated case is an orange drink containing 10 percent orange juice, ^t 69 cents per half gallon, this product costs substantially less than carbonated beverages. It is noncarbonated and quite sweet, but the flavor is good - far superior to that of canned orange drinks. lemonade and lemon drinks are also available in cartons from the refrigerated case. The lemonade (10 percent lemon juice) is much tastier than the lemon drink (6 percent lemon juice), but this marketing specialist would rate both of them inferior to the orange drink Read labels, including the list of ingredients if necessary, to deter­ mine how much fruit juice ia in a fruit drink product. Even if you are not interested in the juice for its nutritive contributions, the beverage with more natural juice will likely have a better flavor. Most Americans think there’s nothing like a cool, refreshing drink on a hot day. But what beverages will you choose if you really want to quench your thirst? According to research reported several years ago here at Michigan State University, the primary requirement for quenchability ia a high water content. Temperature has nothing to do with quenching thirst. Drinking beverages ice cold is purely a matter of habit and culture. Sweet drinks are not as thirst quenching as non-sweet drinks. For this reason, diet drinks quench a thirst better than sweet soda. A tart lemonade is a better thirst quencher than a sweet soda, even though they have about the ame amount of sugar (12 percent) and water (88 percent). Beer contains more water than milk, lemonade and nondiet sodas contain. However, diet drinks, cof­ fee and iced tea contain more water than beer does. Regardless of what we may think, a beer may not auench thirst as well as other rinks containing less water, because beer contains alcohol, which has a dehydrating effect. What’s the best and cheapest thirst quencher? Water. Next is club soda — if you drink it plain. Address ______ A SUBSCRIPTION TO THE SUN AND NEWS IS ONLY $8 PER YEAR!

Michigan, a debate raged that would tear families and frien­ ds apart for years to come Should the community hock it's self to match the funds of the Kellogg Foundation to build — of all things — a consolidated school, a school where strange looking buses with wooden benches transported 30 kids at a time to classrooms filled with electric ranges, power driven saws, bunson burners and typewriters* The clair­ voyant told of the wonders to come automatic transmissions, air conditioning. 1.500 mile ranged airplanes, television, and all sorts of strange light rays Should they prepare their children for that world before them, or should they retreat to the oblivion that would soon turn hundreds of rural villages across the map who turned their backs on progress into nothing more than wide spots on dusty, forgotten country roads Since then the controversial decision and sacrifices made by many of our fathers and grandfathers who faced up to their obligations during one of the lowest ebbs in our national history has touched and enhanced the lives of thousands of people My God. what guts they had Now the cadence of the distant drum beckons anew The longest winning streak this side of the Roman Empire has ended with Vietnam, Watergate, and deep recession, the shrill whistle of the master referee signals the end of the rest period and we must choose a game plan Do we continue to cower on the bench or do we seek once again an inbred Yankee daring and pick up the ball and run with it* Every boy and girl conceived from this moment on inAmerica will graduate from high school into the world of the 21st century If mankind s total knowledge continues to double every three years, that world 18 years hence will have b4 times the potential for good or bad, a world of total computerization, com­ petitiveness. and marvel that we in 1982 can not even conceive Young people unprepared for that world will simply be pushed aside or run over by the Japanese, the Germans, or whoever, and the spectators of that world will find new heros and new champions If there is an obligation to the next generation, it is ours — no one else's Twenty years ago an otherwise very forgettable science-fiction movie turned up a brilliant bit of philosophy in the final reel A colony of human beings had built a space ship in which to escape the impending end of the world Blasting off in the nick of time, they crash landed some days later on another planet In the darkness of their bent and spent vehicle they began to make their way to the door when a Nervous Nellie leaped in front of them, blocking their exit Wait,” he warned, "first we must test the at­ mosphere to see if it is safe!"

Nowadays, to many that is a process which takes too long. They try to establish community confi­ dence quickly by public relations techniques “I am a good fellow because it says so right here in my publicity.” But con­ fidence lasts only as long as it is backed by real service, fair dealing and a sincere feeling for those in bereavement. Have we achieved that kind of trust and confidence? That is for those who have used our services to say and there is only one meaningful way for them to say it. With deep feelings of grati­ tude, we note that they have done so. ~ Sincerely ClV(Az\c.S £ Director Roetman Funeral Chapel 616 East Main Street ♦ Caledonia, Michigan 49316 �Ptgt 6 / July , 1982 / The Sun end News, Middleville, Michigan Senior Citizens Visit Cherry Festival other and have been close friends for several years, but had not seen each other for some time.

Village President Robert Sullivan reported that Neil was relieved from his duties because he lacked “ad­ ministrative abilities The 48 year old former chief had signed with the Village in February of 1981. He replaced Claude Robertson, who lasted from September to January. Prior to Robertson, the village had fired Cliff Norton for improper converting of funds. Sullivan indicated that the com­ munity is not without police protection. •‘Both officers Boyd Cain and Mike Leedy are on duty, and along with some possible part time help, we will be covered,’' said the village president When asked about a possible replacement. Sullivan replied that we have a 'couple of interested people,'' and that “we will be looking for someone to fit the situation ' Grad Photos Ready BIG WINNERS AT BARRY FAIR The Middleville Clovers 4-H Club won outstan­ ding livestock awards at the Barry County Fair last week.

Next Tuesday, August 3 TK School Makes Second Bid to Pass Millage Once again next Tuesday voters in the Thomapple School district will be asked to approve a 16 operational millage issue, with the consequences far reaching either way the outcome School officials have indicated that the school cannot be operated without the extra millage. In June voters tur­ ned down the increase by 94 votes with over 1800 people going to the polls The 16 mills represents a renewal of Invite Arts & Crafts Displays In Middleville Downtown Middle i dle is going to have its annual sidewalk salt this year on August 12-13-14. This year the merchants are inviting anyone who uishes to display their arts and crafts to set up tables on the sidewalk Those uho wish to display their goods should contact any downtown merchant, or call 795-7705 12 mills that expired with the 1981 tax year and an additional 4 mills the school outlines as being necessary to just maintain a “bare bones" budget. According to Superintendent Gerald Page, the school has been criticized for operating “as usual ", when in reality they have cut all athletic programs. 30% of the teaching staff has been laid off. half of the administrators are gone and 20% of the non-instructional staff has been cut. Page also has indicated that apathy seems to be playing a part in th^ whole picture In the June election, said Page, over 1400 voters had been identified by calling committees as being supportive of the millage. But, when the votes were counted, only 871 of those people came to the polls to cast a positive ballot. In the June vote, the millage issue was defeated by 10 votes (813-823) in Middleville. In the former Freeport district, those voting overwhelmingly rejected the issue by better than a 2-1 margin (61-146). Voting, by paper ballot, will be in the usual precincts (TK HighSchooi and Freeport Village Hall) from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Boosters Support Passage of TK Issue The TK Boosters have elected new officers for the 1982-3 school year They are: Blanche Munjoy. president; DeniseAinsworth. vice president Linda Groves, secretary. Katie Wieringa. treasurer: Doug Hart, trustee. Fred Willshire. Trustee; Walt Lukas, trustee. The Boosters are looking forward to another successful year, and are curren­ tly planning for Do Da Day, September 4. Last year the TK Boosters raised over 150,000 and supported all extracurricular activities, including athletics for grades 7-12 In addition, the club has suggested to the School Board that any funds remaining tn the account be used towards the purchase of newSdence books for grades 6-8, as the current books are not only outdated, but beyond repair The Boosters totally support the passage of the millage; however, the passage will only provide the bare necessities, and additional monies will be needed. This year, the TK Boosters will focus on supporting (but not totally funding) all extra-curricular activities, providing volunteer workers for athletic events, aid in the purchase of classroom and athletic equipment and general operational needs Again, this year, the Boosters will have fund raieers which will involve the entire community. For example, in ad­ dition to Do-Da-Day, the Boosters are planning an International Food Festival a Community Talent Show. Holiday dances, etc. All in all. events which will provide entertainment and fun for the community and help our kids enjoy a well rounded education. The TK Boosters want to thank those people who helped make last year’s goal a reality, and urge your support again this year Please contact any of the Booster officers for infor­ mation on how you can help. �Page 2 / July 29, 1982 / The Sun and News. Middleville. Michigan TK Board Sets Aug. 2 Agenda Tough Choice During Tough Times AN EDITORIAL BY PUBLISHER DON BOYSEN MAKE NO MISTAKE about it; times are tough. People are out of jobs, houses and durable goods are not selling well; property taxes are high; people are angry and frustrated with government and politicians. When it comes to taking out those frustrations, people lash out at those things where they do seem to have a say: namely school funding. The TK School district is the recipient of these frustrations. In many ways we do not think those folks who have voted against the millage issue at TK are particularly against the school. We think they are just sick and tired of paying taxes . . to any form of government. Of course, we have those local gadflys like Donald Johnson who simply muddy up the issue by taking potshots at in­ dividuals or the teaching profession in general. We wonder how many people ac­ tually believe what he preaches. We would like to think the people of this district are more thoughtful than that! Schools are such an integral part of our community it is hard to imagine not having them operate. When we came to this community in 1956, Middleville was on the threshhold of an educational “boom”. We couldn't build school facilities fast enough, and then had to LETTERS Comments from our readers may be expressed in this column. All letters must be signed, but names will be withheld for good reason and at the discretion of the newspaper. Views express­ ed in this column are not necessarily those of The Sun and News The membership of the Caledonia Area Jaycees and Auxiliary would like to extend a great big thank you for the turnout and support given to this years’ Independence Day celebration by the fine citizens of Caledonia and the surrounding area. Many people do not begin to realize the time it takes to sponsor a com­ munity function of this type. A handful of very hard working Jaycees and Jaycettes put in long hours on this project, spent alot of time away from their families, and gave up several evenings and hours of their free time to put everything together for a suc­ cessful day for our community. When all was ended on the night of July 3rd and the fireworks were over, and the Sunday morning clean-up was over, every Jaycee and Jaycette in­ volved was happy and saying, “Let’s do it again next year”, the reason being that we all saw so many people having so much fun. with so much community togetherness. The Caledonia Area Jaycees and Auxiliary have the major goal of making Caledonia a better place to live NetosPublication No USPS 347850 124 E. Main Street / Ph 796 3345 MIDDLEVILLE.

BOYSEN EDITOR and PUBLISHER struggle to find teachers to man the classrooms. As the district expanded and improved its curriculum, the people of the com­ munity responded with the funds to pay for it. To be sure, certain programs were mandated by State law and some of them are costly. And then, just when we should be moving into a more sophisticated kind of education for children, we came up again a general drop in school enrollments and a severe recession (or depression?). This financial bind has jeopardized state fun­ ding of schools as well as the local ability to pay. All schools — including TK — have been forced to curtail programs, cut back in the number of people needed and generally offer what some call a “sub­ par’’ educational plan. The crisis we face at TK schools will not go away. Despite what the Donald Johnsons tell us, there is no “quick fix.” We can defeat the millage issue on Tuesday and ultimately close the schools for a lack of funds. But, educating our children cannot be ignored for long if we are to survive as a free, democratic society. We urge a yes vote on Tuesday to in­ sure that future. and a great place to raise your family. When we see the happiness and joy on the faces of the people we all know, as we did this past July 3rd, it only makes us want to do even better next year. We would gladly accept any suggestion from anyone out there on how we can do a better job next year. We would also like to invite any young men and women who would like to be a part of all this to think about joining our organization. We certainly would welcome you. Once again, I would like to thank all those involved in any way with the organization, support and hard work in pulling off a great fun day for our community. And especially to all the fine people who came to the park that day and enjoyed themselves. After all, that’s what it’s all about! Sincerely Jerry Durkee, President Caledonia Area Jaycees To the Editor, Come August 3, the school district will be voting on a 16 mill package. Sixteen mills! It should be a 12 mill renewal and a 4 mill increase. Make sure you vote This 16 mill brainstorm is being rammed down our throats by the teacher oriented SchoolBoard and now Supt. of Schools Page. You read of Page sounding off in the area papers about the bad shape of the school! Swimming pool unfilled for years. The part of the community that was using the pool probably ould have paid the way for the pool to stay open. It was cut as a slap at the taxpayers. Don’t say “come to the Board meetings. ” Everything is cut and dried before the gavel drops or in closed meetings. He was handed the job on a platter No competition. He has his cointract, $42,000 worth, so should feel safe. Three 10 percent raises puts him in John Dow’s company. Just a reminder again, the school board is comprised of people that are teachers, or their wives are teachers, substitute teachers or work in the office with a few. or only one exception. You are not going to be represented by that bunch. Only the teachers and ad­ ministration ill be How much of the 4 mill* is going for salary increases. The Teachers Union is not going to sit still. Who’s going to negotiate with the teachers union? Another teacher, what a laugh! One thing I don’t understand. You have enough teachers for 5 hours of school but not 6 hours. Certainly they could all teach an extra hour just on the 3 r’s. Twenty five hours of teaching a week! Education is based on a teachers seniority and not on a pupils needs. What a shame and waste. As a trend it means fatter teachers and dumber kids. Make sure you get out and vote. Sheared some lambs. The wool 28 cents a pound wouldn’t pay for the shearer. I ’ve never seen it that bad. One thing that I wish I could see again. A graduating class in high school with no mustaches or beards, etc. A clean cut young man or lady is a refreshing sight. Sincerely Donald Johnson p.s. My school taxes are up 60 percent for 3 years and 49 percent for last 2 years.

Offer Surplus Produce for CROP Fund This Friday is when it begins. The Surplus Garden Sales booth will be set up on the lawn of the Middleville Post Office lawn to help fight world hunger. At that time, gardeners with a sur­ plus of produce can bring it to the stand where others can choose what they like and leave a donation for C.R.O.P. The produce stand, which had its in­ ception last summer, will be open every Friday afternoon from 3 until 5 o’clock from now throughout the harvest season. The project is chaired by Sharon Smith who is lining up volun­ teers to man the booth each week All proceeds will go to C.R.O.P. and will be used to fight hunger by Church World Service, the relief arm of the National Council of Churches. As the expenses of this organization have already been budgeted by NCC, all monies given to C.R.O.P. are used to feed hungry people around the world. Everyone in the area is invited to participate in this project. The results of last year’s effort were most gratifying.

Using traditional instruments, the musicians are known as an "audience band" that delivers an old-timey sound in the styles of folk, blues, jazz and even rock, when appropriate. * Last, but certainly one of the leaders of the day's bill, is the Sweet Corn String Band of Kalamazoo, a favorite of audiences during the eight years of the Thornapple Music Festivals. Sweet Corn bases its music in traditional bluegrass and old-time music, but delivers it in a show of high-energy style and powerful four-part harmonies. The August 1 show is the second of three Thomapple Music Festivals at Charlton Park this summer. The third festival, on August 29. moves away from the traditional into the contem­ porary versions of country-Tmuaic using both acoustic and electric in­ struments. On stage that day will be 4Wheel drive, the Dirk Rivera Band. Stone Oak and Horsefeather. The festivals take place in the park'a historic village of the late 1800s and the stage is set at the focal point of the park's natural amphitheater, centered on the village green. Begun as a fundraiser in 1975 to restore Bristol Inn, and 1800a stagecoach stop and tavern, the Thor­ napple Music Festivals have expanded over the years to become both major music events in southwestern Michigan and the county -owned park's major fundraising events. Folks who attend bring along chairs and blankets to settle in for a relaxing afternoon, and when they need to stret ch they amble through the buildings of the village, restgored to their original Barry County character of a hundred years ago. Charlton Park is located five miles east of Hastings off M-79. Other at­ tractions at the park are a beach and recreation area, which includes nature trails, a boat launch and picnic areas. Admission to the festival is 85.00 for adults, 50 cents for children under 12 and free for preschoolers No pets are allowed in the festival area.

All letters must be signed, but names will be withheld for good reason and at the discretion of the newspaper Vtews express ed in this column are not necessarily those of The Sun and News An open letter to the TK School Community After nine years as an elementary principal in the Thornapple Kellogg Schools. I am announcing my resignation. This is the most difficult decision I have had to make in my professional and personal life. How can one leave a school com­ munity, staff and children he has come to love so greatly? The truth is I will not accept the financial disater that has befallen many Michigan schools. I am a builder and need to grow and learn. I will not, in good conscience, continue to observe helplessly while our schools slowly crumble. I realize the plight of the poor and middle class taxpayer, but I want more for our school children so that they can become productive, creative citizens of tomorrow. I feel a quality education, love, guidance and good moral and spiritual values are the most important things we can give them. To the TK Board of Education: Thank you for having the confidence in me and giving me the opportunity to work for you. To the parents: Things have not been easy, but thank you for supporting me and our building. To the administrators: I leave with so much more confidence than when 1 arrived. I will miss you very much. The schools are in good hands. To the W'est staff and faculty: I, more than anyone, realize how effective and affective you have been I will take more of you with me than I am leaving. I will never forget you. To the children of West: 1 realize you will not understand this decision, but I love you very much and insist you work very hard in school to be the best students and children you can be. You are our leaders of tomorrow I will never forget you. Lastly, to my secretary, Marsha LaFontsee: I have appreciated you very much and hope you teach the next principal as well as you have me I will miss everyone but will be the best TK Booster you ever had (I will even miss Don Johnson in his own uninformed way He and others who make such groundless comments without visiting the buildings are the unfortunate losers in our school com­ munity| J.

Donna Kenyon, Clerk NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING ON INCREASING PROPERTY TAXES AND ON PROPOSED 1982-1983 BUDGET PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on August 16, 1982 at 7:30 o’clock p.m. at the High School Library, the Board of Education of Thornapple Kellogg School will hold a public hearing to consider the levying in 1982 of an additional proposed millage rate of 2.91 mills for operating purposes pursuant to Act 5, Public Acts of Michigan, 1982. The Board of Education has the complete authority to establish that 30.6433 mills be levied in 1982 from within its present authorized millage rate. The additional proposed millage rate would increase revenues for operating pur­ poses from ad valorem property tax levies in 1982 other­ wise permitted by Act 5, Public Acts of Michigan, 1982 bv 2.91 mills percent (10.49%). The figure for increase in revenue for operating purposes is needed to offset loss of state operating funds and due to projected increases in operating costs. The purpose of the hearing is to receive testimony and discuss both the school district’s proposed 1982-1983 budget and the levy of an additional millage rate r ollowing the public hearing, the Board of Education may adopt its 1982-1983 budget; not less than seven (7) days following the public hearing the Board of Education may approve the levy of all or any portion of the proposed ad­ ditional millage rate.

People are realizing the need to record their wishes on funeral services for themselves. They recognize that thid takes away the difficult burden of decision-making later during the hour of need and assures the family of doing the right things within proper bud­ gets. For some time, this funeral home has recognized the needs and desires of thinking persons to plan ahead. I have developed ways of assisting those who wish to make arrangements in advance. Our funeral home has quite a lot of families who have so re­ corded their plans and wishes with us. They appreciate the oppor­ tunity to make these wishes known. Most people have definite ideas about the services they wish for themselves: specific details such as the minister, the music and Scripture readings, flowers, costs, etc. They don’t have to pre-plan their funerals, but they know it’s a good feeling when it’s done and the family won’t have to worry about it!

Heading the list of local interest was the race for the Republican nomination for County Commissioner in the 2nd District (Thornapple and Yankee Springs Twps.) Although candidate Jim Thom­ pson edged out Cathy Williamson by a 143-128 vote in Thornapple, Ms. Williamson won the nomination by carrying Yankee Springs, 1Q7 to 72. She will oppose Jim Gordon in the November election. As expected, more people voted in the Republican Primary than the Democratic ballot in Thomappie Town­ ship. For example, Congressman Harold Sawyer received 275 unopposed votes, while the Democrats seeking his job. Dale Sprik and Steve Monsma. got a combined vote of 200. Also of local interest was the can­ didacy of Robert Bender, running in a field of nine in the Republican Primary for the 88th. State Legislative district. Although the 88th does not include Thornapple Township, Bender had many supporters in this community. He won the nomination by 360 votes and will seek election in the fall, run­ ning against Democrat Robert Edwar­ ds.

TV Youth Football League Invites Boys to Participate “August”, the month our young people start thinking about school and all of the fun and excitement they are going to have. One of the best ways to make new friends and be a part of the excitement is to join an organization that em­ phasizes friendship and teamwork. The Thornapple Valley Youth Football League is just such an organization. The league's purpose is to teach basic fundamentals of football through a program of fair and proper guidance. We do not instill the idea that you must be a winner to participate. This year we are anticipating a very exciting season. A great deal of the boys from last year will be returning and we re hopeful that well sign up an equal number of newcomers. Earlier this summer, the league voted to raise the weight limitations by five pounds. This should enable more youngsters to participate than in the past.

The Township has not increased its operating tax rate of 1.4711 mills ($1.47 per $1,000 SEV) for the past 3 years. Because of a new State law (Act 5 of 1982), the Township’s base tax rate is reduced to 1.3543 mills for 1982. However, the Township has complete authority to establish the number of mills to be levied from within its authorized millage rate. In order to maintain basic Township ser­ vices, the Township proposes to levy an ad­ ditional millage rate of 0.1168 mills (12 cents per $1,000 SEV) above the 1.3543 mill base tax rate, or a total operating rate of 1.4711 mills (1.47 per $1,000 SEV). This will provide an estimated 8.62 percent increase in Town­ ship operating revenues. Public comment on this proposed increase is welcome at the public hearing.

Adding to the nostalgia at the 9 am. to 4 p.m. event will be the park setting, featuring an authentic reconstructed Michigan Village of the late 1800s. Many of the historic cars to be displayed belong to members of the Battle Creek Chapter of the Veteran Motor Car Club of America, co­ sponsors of the show. Robert Judd of Olivet, vice president of the group and chairperson of the auto show, said several other area car clubs are expec­ ted to participate in the exhibition. Judd, who spent over two years restoring a 1913 Model T Ford touring car. said that autos dating from 1908 to 1957 are scheduled to be shown. Each car will be displayed with the year, make and owner s name In most cases, the owners wall be on hand to answer questions about restoration of their in­ dividual vehicles. “It takes a lot of patience and a lot of time to restore an auto." observed ^udd. “And. nowadays, it also takes a lot of money. The search for authentic auto parts often leads to cross-country telephone calls and can be the most time­ consuming aspect of a restoration project, he explained. At Sunday's show, vendors will offer a wide variety of old car parts for swap or sale. About 200 sellers, including LEGAL NOTICE Real Replacement Value Insurance? One name says it best.

For decades students have entered high school. Some of those students graduated, some did not. Those studen­ ts who did not graduate obviously became what is called a high school drop out. Those students who dropped out left school for a variety of reasons. Some of them were good reasons, some were not. Until now, schools have not been able to solve some of the problems that students encountered which have caused them to leave school. Over the past several years, some schools developed what is called "Alternative Education." The program of Alter­ native Education has proved to be suc­ cessful in helping students cope with school and eventually earn a diploma. Thomapple Kellogg Schools, beginning this fall, will provide such a program for our young adults who left school. The Alternative Education at Thor­ napple Kellogg happens to be a program of uniqueness. First, classes will be during the afternoon, Monday through Friday. Second, classes will be conducted at the Middleville Com­ munity Hall. Third, a student can take a program designed for that person, yet meet requirements to graduate. Fourth, a student can enroll at the Kent Skills Center along with their Alternative Education classes. Fifth, a student may be employed full or part time and receive Co-op credit in addition to their Alternative Education classes. Students must meet one of the following to enroll in Alternative Education: (1) be a drop out, (2) be a pre-drop out, (3) be pregnant, (4) be a teenage parent, or (5) have poor regular classroom performance. The program is not designed for those with severe emotional problems, violent individuals, or retarded individuals. By participating in and completing this program a student can: (1) earn a diploma, (2) become vocationally cer­ tified (licensed where applicable), (3) gain basic lifetime skills, and (4) have assistance finding a job upon graduation. If you are interested or know of somewhone who would be interested, we will be enrolling students from August 30 through September 3, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Thomapple Kellogg High School Counseling Of­ fice. The first day of classes will be September 8, beginning at 12:00 noon in the Middleville Community Hall basement. For more information con­ tact Loren Van Port Fleet at 795-3394 (office) or 795-3244 (home). New Owner of The Color Spot Merle and Ruth Shook announced this week that they have sold their paint and wallpaper store in Caledonia to Mr. Daniel Fischer. The Shooks have owned and operated The Color Spot in Caledonia for the past six years, and prior to that time had a store in Gran­ dville. Mr. Fischer, following graduation from Caledonia High School in 1970, played professional baseball before en­ tering college. He has spent the past 5 years in real estate sales.

Two years ago, in anticipation of Lena’8 planned visit, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Passenger also spent a few days in their home in Sweden. In a true ex­ change program, the Passenger's daughter Karen, a 1982 graduate of Caledonia High School, spent three weeks with Lena in Sweden this sum­ mer. Lena’s desire in visiting here is to learn about the USA, to experience American family life in a small com­ munity, to improve her ability with the English language (which she already handles very well), and even has the dream that the friendship may be carried on to future generations of the two families. Lena’s hobbies and special interests include art, dance, music and drama. �Age 2 / August 19, 1982 7 The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan Invite Participants for Tennis Tourney The 1982 Caledonia Tennis Tournament is scheduled to begin Monday, September 20. at the Dottier Wenger Memorial Tennis Courts in Caledonia.

The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. At noon, when opening ceremonies will be held, the fire rigs will parade around the park’s village green, encir­ cled with authentic historical buildings that have been reconstructed as a Michigan village of the late 1800s. A constant stream of muster ac­ tivities, featuring games of fun and skill, will be staged from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The action will include a bucket brigade contest, competition with cen­ trifugal. rotary and piston pumps in a race to see which can draw the first water, a water ball contest focusing on team skill using fire hoses, and an arena pumping event. “The arena pumping can be quite comical to watch." says I^ee Soder­ beck of Jackson, secretary of the Greenfield Village sponsored group. In that contest of five man teams, she ex­ plains. each unit's bunker coats and boots are thrown into a pile and each must scramble against the clock to find and put on his own attire, place a hard suction hbose in the river, jump onto a fire truck and pump water. The team with the best time is declared the win­ ner. Mrs. Soderbeck said the antique fire apparatus association put on a show last month at Greenfield Village. Th e majority of the group's mem­ bers are individual collectors who are affiliated with the National Society for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motorized Fire Apparatus. Some of the interesting fire fighting equipment excpected to be on hand for the Charlton Park show are a restored Seagrave rig, an open cab Ahrens-Fox piston pumper of 1920s vintage, a 1914 Model T Fire Chief’s car, and an old Reo fire engine. There will be an American-LaFrance fire vehicle, typical of what was once a common rural fire fighting fixtgure, usually made from Ford or Chevy trucks which were con­ verted into fire apparatus with the ad­ dition of pumps. The Vermontville Fire Department is expected to display its unique 1913 fire fighter manufactured by the Waterous Engine Works in St. Paul, Minn. Awards will be presented at 4:30 ceremonies on the green for the best appearing original antique, the best ap­ pearing restored antique, and the best appearing modern apparatus. A flea market featuring fire-related equipment will be operating on the day of the show and the park will have copies to sell of an Americana Review booklet entitled "Firefighting of Long Ago.” Food and beverages will be available. Show participant- will be able to register at the park gate, beginning at 8 a.m. on the day of the event. For ad­ ditional information, call 616-945-3775. Admission will be $2.00 for adults and 50« for children under 12. and in­ cludes entry to the show and an oppor­ tunity to browse through the historical buildings, a museum featuring exhibits of pioneer and Indian life, and to use the park's beach, picnic facilities, playgrounds and boat launch. Charlton Park is located on the banks of the Thornapple River, just off M-79, midway between Hastings and Nashville. Village of Middleville Official Minutes Mr. and Mrs. Darrell K.

Marion Cook in the families’ living area at the Mill. Fourth Anniversary Celebration For Historic Bowens Mill Historic Bowens Mills Fourth An­ niversary celebration will be Saturday, August 21, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Arts and crafts, a flea market, blacksmiths, a spinner, Civil War camp, old time music, demonstrations, stacked ham sandwiches and elephant ears, in addition to tours of the mill museum, will be on the format. The outdoor Gospel Concert will start at 7 p.m. A special feature of the day is an “open house" of the living quarters on the third level of the old mill where the owners live. The Neal Cooks purchased the structure in 1978 and have made great progress in the restoration of the 1864 grist and cider mills which are a state historic site. The former grain and storage area and workshop have been transformed Richard J. Choryan, O.D. DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY OFFICE HOURS BY APPOINTMENT PHONE 891-1056 131 E. MAIN STREET CALEDONIA. MICHIGAN from a rustic, sprawling area to a cozy home. Many of the old beams were left exposed, which adds a handsome richness throughout the living quarters. The living room, with its hand sten­ cilled walls from an old Moses Eaton pineapple design, is quaint. Wood from some of the old granaries was used for the wainscoting in the family room and kitchen and adds a real homey touch. The old wooden grain elevator shafts remain intact in the bedroom. The mirrors from the former five-generation Beckwith Barber Shop have been donated to the Mill. They have been in­ stalled in the hallway which is also used as an office. They are from the early 1900s. There are eight different sections which have decals with the names of sixteen early Hastings Business firms. The businessmen paid a $5.00 charge for the advertising. An Arts and Crafts show will have lots of old time demonstrations by the craftsmen dressed just as if it were pioneer times again. To name a few, two tradesmen will be showing their skills at the anvil. Fred Griffith, a licensed farrier from Lowell and a one time Middleville resident, will be creating his wares with a western theme in the Mill Blacksmith Shop. Richard Heinicke will be forging out ornamental pieces of art such as fireplace hardware and candle sconces. He is well known for his exhibitions at Greenfield Village and Fort M ichilimackinac. Shelly Heinicke, Richard's wife, works with metal also, but along a more petite line. She works with silver and designs and fashions lovely pieces of jewelry. Shelly will be demonstrating and selling her wares. She graduated from the Arrowmount Artist School in Virginia and makes Trade Silver reproductions which date back to the 1600s. There will also be stuffed toys, dolls, dried flowers, Indian pottery, canes, etc. Prizes are given to the best display booth and costume. At the July Old Fashion Day the first prize winner was Wildstar Kas from Middleville. She looked so appropriate in her buckskin outfit. Her original Indian pottery and paintings were unique. The Carl Tan­ ners took second place. Carl finds the wood he fashions his unusual canes from in the Tennessee mountains. The Tanners looked like/a real "old fashion” couple dressed in/their authentic out­ fits. Nancy Coleman of Abdiel Farm was the judge/Wildstar and the Tan­ ners will both be back for this month’s old fashion day. The Market Square is always in­ triguing. Some of the regulars will be back, along with new faces with old goods. The Civil War Camp will again be along the edge of the mill pond. It’s a colorful sight as the Lewis Gattling Gun and cannon shoot off their blanks over the water. The black powder weapons will be demonstrated on the hour starting at 11 a.m. Some of the troops from Company B, 7th Infantry from Lansing will also be taking part in the demos. Jim Lammers of Hastings, sergeant for Company I. will be on hand looking for new recruits from the Barry County area Corally O'Dell will be demonstrating on the spinning wheel. Corally buys her fleece from farmers, washes, cards, then spins it into yarn. The sounds of the past — dulcimers, fiddles and banjos may be epjoyed as spectators stoll around the grounds. Bud Pierce and Les Raber will join with their friends to provide the music. Anyone playing an old time instrument is invited to bring his along and join in the fun. There is a 50< gate charge for the daytime activities to help with the restoration. Kids are free. The outdoor Gospel Concert begins at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge, but there is a freewill love offering which goes to the singers. The perfor­ mers for the evening are Ray and Millie Overholt, Dawn Healey, the Kissen Cousins, and the Bible Club kids. Ray and Millie are full time gospel singers, Ray grew up in the Middleville area. He is well known for WOTV work a few years ago. He is the composer of “10,000 Angels’’ and “Hallelujah Square’’ along with others. Dawn Healey is from Winter Springs, Florida. She sings and plays the guitar and her music is all original.

With JOANNE BOYSEN More than 25 years ago, when Don and I were preparing to move to Middleville, we were faced with a real housing shortage. We and the Joe Grif­ fith’s had just purchased “The Middleville Sun and Caledonia News" and were anxious to move to our new hometown. It was the middle of winter, Don and I expected our first child within a couple of months, and our funds were limited, to say the least, but we were young, enthusiastic, and am­ bitious. We just wanted to get moved and settled and get on with our dreams of owning and operating a newspaper. At that time, Bill Campbell was working in real estate and was one of the first people we met. My earliest recollection of Middleville is sitting with Bill at the old Arcade Restaurant, drinking coffee, and exploring any housing possibilities that he could think of. He offered, if all else failed, to have us go stay at his house since he had a big house and lots of room. That eventuality never materialized; we were able to rent, temporarily, a house that had been listed for sale and, a few months later , bought our first home in Middleville. A warm, close friendship with the Campbells began then and has grown through the years. Bill and Helen’s son John worked for the newspaper as a pressman when he was in high school, and during his years at MSU, would come to visit us and our growing family, especially during the times that Bill was teaching out of town, and he and Helen lived away from Mid­ dleville during the school session. John became a "favorite uncle" to our children. When our Marty was almost three years old, I decided to go back to work part time. It was a very hard decision for me. At that time, there was a severe shortage of dental hygienists, and I wanted to get back into the field, but I also wanted to be home with my family. Helen made my transition back into the working world a great deal smoother by agreeing to come stay with our children. The older children were all in school, but Marty still had a couple of years at home. He and Helen became especially close, and they spent many hap­ py hours visiting, reading, going places. Far from feeling deprived at having his mother go back to work, Marty was privileged to have another "grandma." Over the years we have shared many meals, pic­ nics, Christmas breakfasts, and special family oc­ casions. Even as our children grew up, our lives got busier, and we got together less frequently, we always knew they were there and if we needed each other, a call was all that was necessary. In the past couple of years, Bill’s deteriorating health has made it increasingly difficult to main­ tain their beautiful old centennial home, and the painful decision was made to sell the house and move closer to John and his family. Parting with the house and many of their treasures, ac­ cumulated over their lifetime and their parents before them has been a traumatic experience for Bill and Helen. Now their moving date is at hand, and it is with very mixed feelings that we see them off. We will miss them, but we also believe that the rewards for them, for John and Mary Lee and their children of being close to each other will be truly special. We wish them godspeed and much hap­ piness. ---------------------------------------------------------- At the Kent Youth Fair Caledonia 4-H members joined in the fun and competi­ tion of the Kent County Youth Fair August 9-14 at the Lowell 4-H Fairgrounds.

I_______ _ EREA Great-Granddad seldom wasted money on storebought mousetraps. Instead, he controlled the little rodents that raided his pantry with a device consisting of a bucket half full of water, a board, a sheet of brown paper, some string, and bait. You can too . . . once you know his trick. Cover the partly filled pail with brown paper (cut from a large grocery sack), held taut and in place with string. Then set the pail in a corner of the utility room, kitchen, pantry, barn, or wherever the unwanted guests are gathering. Use a piece of scrap lumber to make a ramp from the floor to the top of the bucket and put a small mound of bread, bacon, walnut meats, or some such treat in the center of the pail’s paper top. It’s also a good idea to suspend an attractive chunk of bait directly over the rest of the mouse food. Let the critters gorge on this feast for two or three nights (replace the bait as necessary) until the whole tribe gets in the habit of freeloading on top of the buck­ et. Then use a razor blade or very sharp knife to care­ fully slit an ’’X” in the center of the pail’s cover (direct­ ly beneath the hanging bait) . thereby creating a trap that automatically resets itself. A quick dump of the bucket the following morning should dispose of most every troublesome mouse in the group. It always helps to have more than one technique up your sleeve, so here’s a means of protecting your pan­ try against any rodents who escape the bucket trap! Merely take an old dinner plate, a bowl (about one quart in size), and a thimble filled with a mice-enticing goodie. Place the bowl upside down on the plate with one side of the bowl propped up on the side of the thim­ ble. (The open end of the food-filled thimble should face inside the bowl.) When the critter nibbles on the bait, the bowl will fall and make it a prisoner You can then drop the whole shebang into a pail of water (or otherwise dispose of your unwanted visitor as you see fit). Although the death of any creature is hardly a joy­ ous event, the elimination of rodents—which pose threats to the health of animals and humans alike— is sometimes a necessary task.

It is very casual country as most everyone dresses in jeans, heavy­ walking shoes and ski jackets. There is much construction going on and much dust. Everything in general is quite expensive. The food at Gwennies on Spenart Street is very good and reasonable. They were crowded at all meals. While shopping at Woolworths, our grandson ordered a small milkshake and it cost $2.18. The temperature was 65-75 most of the time. One day it rose to 80. Alaska has only three highways in Anchorage, north, south and east. The road to the west is for sewage disposal. We rented a car and travled Highway 1 to the south. Much traffic and construction along the mountains on the left. We saw a 20 foot rock drill in action on the mountainside. On the right there was a great mud tide in the ocean. The water was very low. We saw a micro-wave station for com­ Metamucil 21 oz.

We drove around the “turn again" arm. called this because of the many turns in the road around the mountains. On to Portage to view the famous glacier. The ice that slid down the mountains into the waters looked like animal forms and homes - very beautiful. There were many gift shops in this area. We stayed two nights at Anchorage and took an all day (400 mile) train ride through the wilderness to go to Fair­ banks. This city is much smaller than Anchorage. We watched for animals. Saw a cub bear and theee large ones. Brian spent much of his time in the glass covered compartment above the train. The sun comes out quite hot so the animals stay in the shaded area with only 4 hours of darkness in 24 hours. At Fairbanks we stayed at Captain Bartlett Motel. As we drove up in a rented car. we noticed a car with “Seif and Sons. Caledonia" on it. We checked the registry but didn't see any name we knew. Next morning we drove up to Anchorage University where Jim Lindhout of East Grand Rapids and Bob Zuidersma of Caledonia have pur­ chased 50 apartments just behind the university. Bob had left to take some friends to Anchorage, so we missed him. We drove to the air force base, saw salmon, ducks and geese on ship creek at the hatchery. Red salmon about 45 pounds each, returning to the hatchery where they were originally let out in the waters, came home to spawn and die We saw one flip over and die immediately. It was exciting to see about twenty of them. in our travels we did many things. We visited an old ghost mining town in Ester. We touched the Alaskan pipe line. We watched about a dozen folks pan for gold near the town of Fox. They had some in small vials. One man said he figured he earned about two cents per hour in his spare time. He said it was pure luck, not skill, though it looked to me to be some skill too. We saw a large gold dredge. My niece had given me money to purchase a black pearl necklace. They are made from hemitite stone, cut and polished down. The longer they are polished the more expensive they are, and the more they have the glow of real expensive pearls. Some are polished for a full month. We picked up many quartz stones. Diamonds are usually found in the quartz area. We returned to Seattle on Sunday morning. On Thursday evening we were invited to the children’s grandparents at their lake Clear resort for a fresh salmon dinner and swim­ ming. It was delicious and fun. We visited the hospital to see the boys grandmother and also visited their great-grand­ parents. We attended the Seattle King Dome and saw the Mariners and Oakland Athletics play baseball. We saw Awac planes at Tacoma airport. We took a 14 mile train ride on Mt. Ranier Scenic Railroad at Elbe and walked in the antique miniature Lutheran Church featured on Ripley’s Believe It or Not as the smallest church. We visited the Seattle Aquarium and zoo. We saw the 44 million dollar Tacoma Dome to open in April 83. Its roof is pained in triangular shades of blue and white. We returned to Caledonia Sunday night August 15, very tired and happy to be home as usual, where all the weeds grew, if the grass didn’t.

The state crop is estimated at 45 million pounds, up 29 percent from that of a year ago. Elsewhere in the country, peaches didn’t fare so well this year. Production in the nine southern peach states is forecast at 360 million pounds - 50 percent of last year’s crop. North Carolina was especially hard hit by cold weather this spring the peach crop there is a mere 2 million pounds, compared with 40 million pounds in 1982. Nationally, the fresh peach crop is forecast at 2.20 billion pounds - 21 percent below last year’s harvest. California's peach production is significantly lower in both freestone and clingstone peaches. The clingstone crop, which goes primarily into cans, is off 10 percent. California is the major producer of clingstone peaches, so this very likely will mean higher prices for canned peaches. As a result of the good peach crop in Michigan and a short crop elsewhere, buyers from other states are looking to Michigan for fresh peaches. Consumers, therefore, can expect to paytop prices for fresh peaches. No doubt the most economical time to purchase peaches will be during the third week in August. That’s when the Red Haven variety - Number 1 in volume and a favorite of Michigan shoppers - will be in peak supply. Several factors have endeared Red Haven peaches to shoppers Besides having an extremely good flavor, Red Havens (and all other Haven varieties except Hale Haven) are resistant to browning. This makes them ideal for freez­ ing as well as canning. Red Havens are freestone (the flesh comes off the pit easily) when the fruit is fully ripe. Red Haven peaches will likely be available through the second week in September Other varieties have a season 10 to 14 days long. Red Havens are around so much longer because they have been planted in the northern as well as the southern regions of the state. During the Red Haven season, the following varieties come to market in this order: Giohaven, Canadian Harmony, Cresthaven and Kalhaven. Redskins follow the end of the Red Havens Other varieties that are not produced in suf­ ficient quantities to be commercially important across the state are available in various local areas. Always inquire if peaches are freestone if you are purchasing a quantity for canning or freezing. Michigan peaches have yellow skins and flesh and should be firm, mature, well formed and free from decay Look for a creamy yellow to gold skin under the outer red blush. Red blush alone is not a sign of ripeness - the amount of Bob and Irene Johnson, Richard and Edna Belson of Irving are the proud grandparents of a little boy, Brandon Jon. bom at Osteopathic Hospital Friday, August 20.

September 18, 1982, the Caledonia bands will host the sixth annual ‘Parade of Ban­ ds” at 2:30 p.m. The afternoon activities will com­ mence with a parade through downtown Caledonia. This parade will include high school bands from Caledonia. Martin. Middleville, East Kentwood and Wyoming Park along with other parade units. At the conclusion of this parade, an “Exhibition of Bands” will be held at the high school football stadium at which time each participating band will It Was a Do Da Day Do Da Day was carried off with enthusiasm last Saturday under beautiful September skies. Although the official count of funds raised by the TK Boosters is still being counted, Blanche Mun­ joy reported that it appears that the amount donated will be “about half” what it was last year. But, for those folks who participated in the parade or the day’s activities, it was fun all the way. The “Middleville 12-Pack” softball team beat the WCUZ Radio team (11-6) but the visiting CUZzins did take the sho-shoe tournament. First and second place winners in the parade are shown below. Tony and Helen Wingeier (as Country Corn Flakes) took third. There are two more full pages of parade pic­ tures inside. Boosters Meet Tonight Do Da Dav General Chairman Blanche Munjoy, Seated, gives some direction to Sharon Schondelmayer and Fred Ainsworth prior to the activities at the park. FIRST FLACE Parade Float Winner The TK Boosters will meet Thursday, September 9 (tonight) at 8 o’clock at the Middle School Cafeteria. The public is most welcome. Tent Williams A Group Old Lady m Shoe present a 10-12 minute marching performance. The bands will be massed at the conclusion of this ac­ tivity and will perform "The Washington Post march, “America the Beautiful” and the Stars and Stripes Forever” with Mr. James Wright, the marching band director for Western Michigan University acting as guest conductor. Admission for this event is free, so plan on bringing the whole family. Search for Luigi DPI - Middleville. Friday, October 22, having been set as the date for the SPAGHETTI DINNER which the local ROTARY CLUB sponsors in order to fund the DIAMOND JUBILEE SCHOLARSHIP, a search has been launched to find LUIGI BAGALONI, world-famous pasta and sauce expert. Luigi makes the finest spaghetti sauce in the world and has agreed to share that sauce with the people of Middleville. But the local Rotarians are having trouble locating the traveling sauce gourmet. Rumor has it that Luigi had plan­ ned to take a pleasure cruise on the QE-2 some months ago. Nothing has been heard from him since. These rumors are being checked out at the present time. 2nd PLACE Parade Float Winner - ‘Oak Ridge Boys’ Brian and Karin Wuatman �PAG< TWO / THE SUN AND NEWS, MIDDLEVILLE. MICH / SEPTEMBER 9, 1982 IT’S A WOMAN’S WHIRL t ......... With JOANNE BOYSEN Football mania is about to start again. Our local high schools, colleges, professionals, little league • all are about to begin, or already have started their fall season. It seems only a few days ago that the last of last season's bowl games were being played. I do enjoy football, as a game. It’s exciting, color­ ful, and there is something about a crisp, sunny fall day that lends itself to football. Unfortunately, it’s no longer a game to most people; it has become a business, a way of life, a win at all costs situation. When you consider the millions of dollars spent in the country on football and all its trappings, it really boggles the mind. It's easy to be carried along by the crowd, and I can be a very partisan fan, whether my team be Middleville, Albion. Hope, U of M, or some other favorite at the moment. I’ll even willingly prepare meals early to get to the game on time, or perhaps delay Sunday dinner briefly if there’s a particularly exciting game my family wants to see on TV. For­ tunately, however, my football fans manage to keep things in perspective most of the time, unlike a friend of ours who insists that all Sunday after­ noon plans depend on when the Detroit Lions play football. Dinner must be before or after the game; Sunday guests must either be football fans or come after the game. Talk about football widows! Another thing all of us need to keep in mind with football, as with all games, is that for every winner, there is also a loser, No one likes to lose, but if that happens, we can be good sports about it. See you all at the game, and may your team win. Speaking of teams, it took a great deal of team­ work involving many people to organize and carry out the activities of Middleville's Do Da Day last Saturday. While not as financially successful as it was last year, it still raised several hundred dollars for extracurricular activities at TK. I don't know the names of everyone who helped make the day a success, but I would like to say a special thank you to Blanche Munjoy. Without her. I’m not sure the idea would have materialized. A few days ago, I was wondering aloud what to do with some of the still bountiful supply of tomatoes we’ve enjoyed this summer. Pat That­ cher said she especially liked a kind of catsup that Sharon Schondelmayer makes. I called Sharon, who explained that it isn’t really like commercial catsup, and it isn’t a chili sauce either, but is very good on pork, hot dogs, baked beans, hamburgers, etc. Sharon says the recipe came from her granddmother, Dora White, and she was quite sure she used to store it in a cool cellar. Our basements are too warm now, so it does need to be refrigerated. Not only did Sharon give me the recipe, she also dropped off a sample, and it sure is good on a cold roast beef sandwich, the only thing I've had time to try it on. Many thanks, Sharon.

Emergency Blood Drive An emergency blood drive to help the American Red Cross replenish blood used over the Labor Day weekend is planned for Friday, September 10. In­ terested donors can visit the Pennock Hospital Conference room from 1 - 7 p.m. Sue Shoemaker, recruiter for Great Lakes Regional Blood Center, said the emergency drive is important, “first aof all, because collections all summer have been down and we’ve barely been able to cover our needs. Secondly a larger amount of accidents over long holiday weekends usually increases blood needs substantially.’’ Prospective donors should be between the ages of 17 and 65, in good general health, and weigh at least 113 pounds.

The U.S. harvest is forecast at 204 million bushels - almost as large as the 1980 record crop and 11 percent above last years crop. Five major apple producing states are expected to exceed their 1980 crops this year. The Michigan apple crop will be the largest since the turn of the century, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service. Production is forecast at 22.6 million bushels, a 44 percent in­ crease over the 1981 crop. Growing conditions for Michigan apples and other fruits have been ideal this year. Generous rainfall means apples will be larger than normal for most varieties. Quality will also be superior, as is usually the case when the crop is large. The cool nights and sunny days bring on the red color so highly prized by shoppers. Of course, an apple doesn't have to be red all over to be ripe and good. Patches of green are likely to be found on the side of the apple turned away from the sun. Ofen a closer look reveals the green area is the shape of a leaf, proof that it grew in the leafs shadow. This is how Mother Nature grows apples in America’s heartland. So that apples can be picked at just the right stage of maturity, university horticulturists issue harvest dates for each apple variety in each locale. Apple growers must be doing something right, because apple popularity is increasing. A recent study conducted by the U. S. Department of Agriculture shows 1981 per capita consumption of fresh apples at 20.8 pounds. That's up nearly 3 pounds over the 1980 per capita consumption of 17.9 pounds. Apples have many pluses which are contributing to their popularity. A good source of dietary fiber, potassium and pectin, apples are low in sodium. Eaten at the end of a meal or as a snack, apples are also excellent tooth cleaners. Michigan offers a wide selection of apple varieties. This is desirable because some varieties are best for eating fresh, while others are superior for pies, salads or other uses. When choosing ap­ ples at the supermarket, purchase the variety best suited to the use you have in mind. qqMcIntosh, Jonathan and I dared are considered all-purpose apples. All-purpose means that a given variety is good for eating out of hand and for pies, salads, sauce, baking or whatever. Another variety may be better for one thing, such as pies, but all purpose varieties are acceptable for all uses. McIntosh apples are generally sweeter than Jonathans. Idareds are harvested after Macs and Jonathans. A relatively new variety and an ex­ cellent keeper, Idareds are the apple for those who want to put a few apples away for winter in their own basement storage. The spy variety, considered the premium apple for pies, is still produced in Michigan, though in smaller quantities than in past years. Shoppers may have to search out Spys in farmers markets rather than relying on the supermarket. The same is true for Romes (top choice for baking) and Stayman (related to the old fashioned Winesap). Regardless of the variety, apples should be stored in the refrigerator for best quality. Keeping them in a plastic bag or closed container helps to minimize moisture and flavor loss. & CHERRY VALLEY ROAD RELIABLE IV & Service GEOFF STEEBY SERVICING * All Brand* TV S«ti a Stareo* * Stereo N««dlet in Stock * Cm Rad>o« and Tape Playart • FREE ESTIMATES * Home Service Cafls and Inturance Work ' CRAIG Car Stereos Ph. 891-8418 Located in the WESTERN AUTO Building on M-37 in Caledonia �PAGE SIX / THE EUN AND NEWS.

So far there have been no major injuries and all 28 are looking forward to the opening game September 10 at Wayland Caledonia's scrimmage with Delton, Hopkins and Bellevue is complete with all players seeing plenty of action. The Fighting Scots of 1982 are blessed with plenty of speed with sprinters Paul Stuefen. Phil Tuttle. Mike Satllings and Rob Koehl all on hand to do backfield duty. The QB job will be filled by Ron Schultz, last year's back-up quarterback and starting defensive back. Schultz will also see duty in the defensive backfield. Tim Dobson is also working at QB and a defensive back. Filling out the backfield will be Jerry Dent and Mike Crum­ back at fullback and Eric Haglund at tail back. Returning letterman Scott Harmsen will fill the wingback slot, sharing that position with Tuttle and Stuefen. Anchoring the offensive line will be four year starter Todd Colvin, a 6’2”, 200 pound tight end and linebacker. Colvin has been plagued by injuries his sophomore and junior years, but is healthy and ready to go for his senior year. Also in the offensive line the Fighting Scots have returning starters in tight ends Brad Harrison and Tim Sleeman; tackles Joe Andrusiak and Chad Creasey; guard Dave Dragoo and center Fred Zylstra a two-way starter from last year. Rounding out the offensive line will be tight ends Scott DeVries. Rick Romeym and Jim Groendyke; tackles John Weaver and Shawn Gary; guards Jerry Stone, Dave Steck. Scott Polmanteer and Kevin Welch. Backing up the starting center will be Rick Guyott. A strong candidate for offensive tackle is newcomer Cliff Hawkins. Caledonia hopes to be able to keep their mistakes to the minimum when they face Wayland this Friday night. The league looks like a toss-up this year with defending champion Kelloggsville getting the nod to be the favorite in most coaches' minds. Hud­ sonville, Middleville and Caledonia all seem to have teams that could have title hopes on their minds. The Fighting Scots open league competition against Lee, a greatly improved team.

MIDDLEVILLE, MICH. I SEPTEMBER 9, 1982/ PAGE NINE Trojan Net Squad Begins Fall Action The 1982 Trojan Tennis team will begin action this week. Wednesday the team will travel to Hud­ sonville to take on one of the stronger teams in the league. On Friday, Lee will come to town. This year’s team is led by co-captains Darc Wingeier and Ranee Hooper. Darc was the top Trojan player last year. Ranee played 3rd singles and won the conference crown for her flight last year. Karen Sias and Sandy Wieringa will take up the 3rd and 4th singles positions this year. Both are juniors and will be playing their first year as singles players. Last year these two teamed up to be one of the best 1st doubles teams in the con­ ference. Sara Schondelmayer and Kristy Miner will hold down the No. 1 doubles position. Both players have shown good improvement during practice sessions, but will have to face some fine doubles teams this year. Kathy Miner and Karyn Elies will play the 2nd doubles position. Kathy saw limited action last year and was doing very well until an injury took her out of action. This is the first year of com­ petition for Karyn. We expect these two to hold their own this year. Both should learn a great deal thia season. Julie Bussema and Ginger Cook will play the 3rd doubles position. These two have come along very well since last year. We hope to see more aggressive tennis from them during the season. Both players should represent us very well. This year's team is very young. We have one senior and three juniors playing singles. All six players who make up the doubles teams are sophomores. While our team is very young, we ex­ pect to make up for experience with a great deal of determination. With LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE Two eventful happenings on the Prairie this week are the Charter TV workers burying the wires for Cable TV, and the school buses resuming their pick-up and deliveries. That means Janette VanRhee is back to work and unexpected company prevented her from gathering news. Hope you’ll save it for next week! Dr. and Mrs. R. Jack Chase surprised her folks, Clifford and Jennie Davis, by showing up in church Sunday morning and then visiting with the home folks for a while. Katie Wieringa said she just was busy all day Saturday with Do Da Day activities. I think she was pretty busy ahead of time, too, making old fashioned outfits. Didn’t the three generations of Wieringa ladies look nice in the parade? The Phil Benders went fishing on Monday - lots of fun but not many fish. Sunday evening they heard Paul Mills speak at the Wesleyan Cam­ pgrounds, then visited with Dutch and Esther Vander Koddi. Mike.

The Dave Enders family were camping at Traverse City from Friday until Monday. Some twenty of the Harrison relatives gathered at the home of Pat and Judy Harrison on Saturday for a potluck supper, bonfire, hayride and all sorts of fun. Sunday visitors at the Clifford Davis home were the Earl Willyards of Grand Rapids. Walter and Lois Bender were Sunday dinner guests of Mike and Edna Bender at Holland. Also attending were Ward, Russell and Alice Bender. The Pat Harrison family had Sunday dinner with her folks, the Elmer Wiesenhofers. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Steiner camped at St. Igfnace for a week, returning home on Wednesday Alice planned on walking the bridge with Judy Thom­ pson and children, who were also camping there for the week end. We spent a quiet holiday weekend at home. The plan was to finish painting the last side of the house, but weather (and inertia!) kept it to a minimum. Sons Ken and Dann came over on Sun­ day to get the ‘way-up-high ’ parts, so if the sun comes out when time is available, the rest should be no problem. With Bradford White shut down this week.

YOU and YOUR VISION By Richard J. Choryan, O.D. WHAT IS FARSIGHTEDNESS Farsightedness or hyeropia is a vision condition in which a person is better able to see clearly at far distances than at near or close distances. It affects vision in that a farsighted person subconsciously exerts extra effort to maintain clear distance vision and even greater effort to see clearly at close range. This extra effort can cause fatigue, tension and discomfort. The vision of people with a low degree of far­ sightedness may not be blurred at close ranges. Through constant effort they may see clearly at far and near distances and yet a correction may still be needed for comfortable and effective vision. Common symptoms in farsightedness include difficulty in concentration and maintaining a clear focus on near objects, eye tension, fatigue, headaches, poor reading ability or holding material away from the eyes. Farsightedness can be corrected with the use of spectacle or contact lenses. Some people with a mild case of farsightedness may not need lenses especially if they do not do much close work and have good focusing ability. CYC Schedules Honor Council Offices in ...

Congreaaman Hal Sawyer �'AGE TWO / THE SUN AND NEWS, MIDDLEVILLE, MICH / SEPTEMBER 16. 1962 IT’S A WOMAN’S WHIRL ......... With JOANNE BOYSEN t How do we accumulate so many possessions? As our girls have begun moving out of the house they’ve occupied for the past three years. I've been amazed at how much they have to move. Then I look around at our house and wonder what we will do when we decide to move to a smaller house. There was a time when housewives spent most of their time preparing meals, sewing, cleaning, etc. Now I think we spend most of our time taking care of all the labor saving devices which are supposed to do all this cooking and cleaning for us. I think maybe the older generations had more leisure time than we do. If it’s really true that the key to efficiency is organization, I’m afraid I don’t have much hope of ever being efficient. About the time I think maybe I can work out a system, I realize I really don’t like to be on a schedule. Sometimes there’s a penalty for this lack of organization (procrastination?) - like finding myself still canning pears at two a.m. However, the memory of the sunset we took time to watch earlier that evening will sustain me longer than the pears. It also restores my perspective on those too frequent oc­ casions when there seems more to do than I can handle to sit down with a cup of coffee and remind myseif that life goes on pretty smoothly and will continue to do so whether I get the carpets cleaned or the weeds pulled or get dinner ready at 5 o’clock or 6 o’clock or not at all. Trivialities seem to occupy too much of my time. Coupons are a good example. I vacillate between thinking they’re such a waste of time and allowing myself to be convinced that they’re real money savers. I've read several articles on being able to feed your family on X number of dollars by using coupons and refunds. Sounds great, but does anyone count the time it takes to clip all those coupons, save all the proofs of purchase and cash register receipts, keep track of it all. plus spending the additional shopping time finding the specific product, size, color, etc. that the coupon specified? About the time I decide coupons are just more trouble than they’re worth, I take another stab at it - last week I had over SI2 worth - and conclude that I can’t afford not to save them. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone would just lower prices and forget the whole coupon deal? Last week we inadvertently omitted an ingredient in theCold Katsup recipe. The recipe calls for 1 cup of horseradish. If you have already made the katsup, it’s good without it, but the product will have more bite if you will add it. Please note that it is horseradish and not hor­ seradish sauce. I had some difficulty finding the regular ground horseradish, but S & S Farm Market does have it. Our apologies to you and to Sharon Schondelmayer for not getting it straight the first time. My aunt gave us this recipe for an appetizer or snack type food. It’s tasty and easy and might be just the thing you need for a party you have coming up soon.

MICH. /SEPTEMBER 16. 1982 / PAGE FIVE earlier than that of other varieties. Bartletts are considered the premium variety for both fresh eating and canning. Bartletts can be identified by their large size and bell shape. When ripe, the skin is yellow, often blushed with red. The flesh if very fine grained and juicy. , Anjou. Bose and Comice are other pear varieties grown in Michigan. Anjou pears are medium or larger in size with short stems. They are oval to globular with sides slightly unequal. The skin is light green to yellowish green. The Bose has a long, tapering neck that makes it unmistakable. The skin color is dark yellow overlaid with cin­ namon russet. Comice pears are medium to large, sometimes very large. The greenish yellow skin is often blushed and shows evidence of russet. When selecting fresh pears, look for fruit that is fairly firm but not hard. They should be clean and free of deep blemishes and scars. Surface imperfec­ tions and russeting do not lower the internal quality of pears. All pears have a superior texture and sweeter flavor when they are picked green and ripened off the tree. Color is not a reliable guide to ripeness. Ripe pears yield to slight pressure at the base of the stem end. Michigan growers specialize in Italian plums, primarily the Blufre and Stanley varieties. Only about one third of the crop is marketed fresh — the remainder goes into preserves and other products. Blufre and Stanley plums have dark blue black skin with firm, greenish-yellow flesh. The Blufre are generally larger than Stanleys. Both are freestone. Stanleys are considered the better can­ ning plum, but both are acceptable canned. Select fresh plums which are plump, clean and fully colored. Plums are ripe when they yield to slight pressure in the palm of your hand. If pears or plums are not fully ripe, store them in shallow layers at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Once fully ripened, they should be stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of four days. Refrigerating ripe fruit inside a plastic bag will help prevent shriveling.

CALL 795-3345 The Michigan pear crop fared better than the plum crop this year, but both home-grown fruits are available now. Fresh Michigan plums will be around through mid-October. The pear season stretches through to the end of October, but shop­ pers won’t have Bartletts to choose from after early October. National production for both fruit crops is down this year. The plum crop in California is forecast at 250 million pounds, 37 percent below the record 1981 crop. Plum production of all other states (of which Michigan is the top producer) is forecast at 122 million pounds, or 11 percent below that of a year ago. Michigan’s shorter crop is blamed on a short bloom period and poor fruit set. Quality and size are reported better than average, common phenomena when there are fewer fruit on the trees. The U.S. Dept, of Agriculture forecasts national pear production at 1.5 billion pounds, down 17 per­ cent from a year ago. Michigan’s pear crop is slated to be about 20 percent above the 1981 crop. Though pear production in Michigan has tripled over the past five years, it may not be obvious to fresh fruit shoppers. A large proportion of the state’s pear crop goes to canners. Bartletts, known as the summer pear, account for 87 percent of the Michigan pear crop.

MAIN STREET CALEDONIA, ML �PAGE SIX / THE SUN AND NEWS, MIDDLEVILLE, MICH. / SEPTEMBER 16. 1982 Messenger of the Gospel Visits Holy Family Parish "This is indeed a historic event in the Diocese of Grand Rapids,” stated Bishop Breitenbeck, as he introduced Archbishop Francois-Wolff Ligonde to the parishioners of Holy Family Parish in Caledonia on the weekend of September 4-5. “Never before has any parish taken this kind of money and specified it for use to help a specific diocese. I hope this is not the end of Holy Family a relationship with the people of Haiti, but rather, only the beginning.” Archbishop Ligonde, the Archbishop of Port-auPrince, Haiti. West Indies, was the guest of Holy Family Parish in Caledonia for nearly a week. During his visit, this unique messenger of the gospel addressed several groups in the metropolitan area on the needs of his people, the call to find Christ in the poor and to serve Him there, and opportunities that could be open to us to help the poor of his country. Speaking in English, his fourth language, the archbishop showed himself to be a man of the gospel, a man of the people, and a man of deep learning. The highlight of the visit was the weekend at Holy Family Parish, with special activities at all the weekend masses, a parish potluck, and the giving of 116,100 to the archbishop for the needs of his people. He indicated that some 19,000 would go to rebuilding a very necessary dispensary hospital in a mountain village. The rest of the money would be used to pay the salaries of teachers in village schools. These needs are con­ sidered very important by the visiting prelate. This hospital is the only one in a 50-mile radius, and Haiti still has much problem with public health among its five million citizens. Malaria and tuberculosis are still common diseases. Schooling Story Time for Pre-Schoolers At Caledonia Library Story time for pre-schoolers ages three to five will begin this week at the Caledonia Branch of the Kent County Library System.

With an illiteracy of about eighty percent, developing schools is critical. The average wage of a teacher is $30 per month. Seven thousand dollars will go a long way. When St. Patrick s Mission in Bowne Township burned to the ground in July of 1981, the mission's board of trustees struggled with the decision of what to do. With forty-four families remaining in this proud Irish parish, the group decided that it was time to join with the Mother Church, Holy Family in Caledonia. From the church’s own ashes, from their own pain and loss, they wanted to pass on life to others in need. And so they petitioned Bishop Breitenbeck to allow them to earmark ten percent of the insurance money to give to the poorest of the poor in the world. Haiti came to the mind of one of the long-time pensioners. This suggestion to Bishop Breiten­ beck, who had recently met a Haitian Bishop, set into motion a long quest which ended up at the Vatican itself. The Holy See suggested we help the Archbishop of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The members of the former parish beamed with pride as they stood before Archbishop Ligonde and Bishop Breitenbeck to present the check. Tears of joy were in the eyes of several as all of Holy Family parish applauded St. Patricks mission upon their generous presentation. The afternoon finished with a parish potluck, a new thing for the archbishop. After the meal, he moved from table to table, speaking with the parish family. Also guests of Holy Family for the dinner were Haitian refugees, now relocated in the Grand Rapids area. Ligonde presented a slide program to the parishioners gathered for the potluck and spent much time answering questions. As the day concluded, he was presented with a monogrammed Holy Family T-shirt and farmers cap. Rather taken by the look, he promised to wpar the outfit on his next pastoral visit on horseback! Holy Family, through its Christian Action Com­ mission and Committee on Peace and Justice, in­ tends to follow up on this gift. A bond of frien­ dship will be established with a specific mountain parish. Parish in Haiti means about 40,000 parishioners, one priest and up to fifteen chapel communities. A visit by our parishioners to their parish for a first hand view will likely take place within the year. Coincidently, a local project coming out of G.R.A.C.E. (the Grand Rapids Area Center for Ecumenism) is making plans to focus monies over the next two years toward Haiti.

Verlinde TOM BERRY (38) celebrates with a raised victory sign as he stepped into the endzone for Middleville second touchdown of the night. (irv Twnm Photo) Gals Begin Basketball Season at TK LOSE OPENER TO LOWELL, BUT .... JAYVEES BEGIN ON POSITIVE NOTE The TK Girin basketball team opened their season by traveling to Ixiwell to take on the Red Arrows. The bus trip home was not pleasant as Lowell defeated Middleville 58-55. The first three minutes told the story as Lowell raced to a 14-1 lead. From there to half time the Lowell lead changed from 9 to 11 points. The score at halftime was Lowell 37, Middleville 28. After intermission it was a different story. Mid­ dleville’s press started to hurt Lowell and after 3 quarters, the TK girls cut the lead to 47-43 in favor of Lowell. The fourth quarter was an exciting one as Mid­ dleville tied the game very often. They just could not take the lead even though they had many op­ portunities. Jane Bryans was the leading scorer for the Trojans with 18 points. Laurie Hooper followed with 10. Mary Funk and Patty Fifelski both had 8 points. Jill Smith and Sue Kaechele had 7 and 4 points respectively. Coach Jeltes was very proud of his girls as they never gave up after being down by 13 points and came back strong at th end. The TK JV Girls Basketball team started their season off on a positive note by defeating the Lowell Red Arrows 36-23. After a slow start, the girls caught fire in the second half by outscoring Lowell by the margin of 19-4. Scoring for the Trojans were: Brenda Page with 11 points, Kar­ man Gray with 10, Kris Timm with 6, Kathy Schleh 5, and Sandy Egleston and Monique Weesie with two apiece. Adding their strong efforts to the team victory were: Julie Wilson, Betty Smith, Brenda Swanson, Taleese Yonkers and Kathy Moore. .... TAKE MAPLE VALLEY AT HOME Middleville Girls Basketball team opened their home schedule on a winning note when they defeated Maple Valley 51-36 on September 9. This game started out like the one played again­ st Lowell very dull. After the first quarter it was tied 6-6. In the second quarter. Middleville took an 8 point lead but it did not last long as Maple Valley fought back and took an 18-15 halftime lead. After a half-time talk, the girls made up their minds that they were going to play ball. They came out running and gunning and when the third quarter was over the score was 37-24, Middleville. Middleville got the lead up to 20 points before they substituted freely and went on to win the game 51-36. A very key figure was Chris Perry who came in and did a great job of scoring, passing and reboun­ ding. Another key was Sue Kaechele and Jill Smith who came out in the second half and with their determination and skill brought the girls back. This was a team victory. Kaechele lead th girls in scoring with 15 points and 4 assists Jane Bryans followed with 10 points and 4 assists. Jill Smith and Chris Perry had 8 points each. Jill also had 8 rebounds. Chris had 5. Also scoring for Mid­ dleville were Mary Funk and Patty Fifelski with 4 points and Dawn Bos had 2 points. Middleville's Varsity Football squad took the opportunity last Friday to show to the hometown fans the offensive prowess that could carry’ the team to the top of the OK Blue. The Trojans avenged last years defeat at the hands of Delton by pounding the Panthers 36-14. The battle in the air remained tight w ith Delton collecting 128 passing yards, and Middleville 127. The ground game, however, told a different story as the Trojans ran for 224 yards to Delton’s 98. The Orange and Black struck first, scoring early in the first quarter on a ten-yard scamper by Scott Kaminski. Quarterback Jim Schipper passed to Tony Doombos for the two-point conversion. Middleville regained the ball shortly after the kickoff on a Delton fumble, and Tom Berry im­ mediately sprinted to paydirt from nine yards out. Robb Pickard grabbed another Schipper conver­ sion. increasing TK’s lead to 16-0 going into the second quarter. The Trojans sandwiched the Panthers' only first half score between two of their own as Kaminski and Berry each reached the end zone again. One of the conversion attempts succeeded when Schipper trotted in on a rollout to the right. The first half ended in a 30-6 rout. Delton came out a little stronger in the third quarter, scoring eight and holding TK to zero, but the Trojans responded in the fourth by checking the Maroon and Silver and scoring the final six points of the game on a four-yard sprint by Dave VanSickle. Schipper led all ground gainers, keeping the ball 12 times for 57 yards. VanSickle, Kaminski ande Berry rushed for over 40 yards each to balance the offensive backfield. Schipper also connectged on 11 of his 19 passes while Tony Doombos and Tim Lukas continued their superstar form of last year, combining for nine receptions and 97 yards. Middleville sets its sights on defensively-tough Hudsonville this Friday in their league opener on the Eagles* home field. JV’s Club Delton in Defensive Battle, 14-8 by Jim T. Verlinde Middleville’s Junior Varsity crunchers opened their season last Thursday with a non-league vic­ tory at Delton in a 14-8 defensive battle. The Orange and Black jumped to an early lead on their first possession when Rob Anders capped off an 82-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown plunge. Anders followed with a scamper into the endzone for the extra points. Delton answered the Trojan score in the second quarter, reaching paydirt after a 17-yard pass to the two and then following with a successful twoBY TK HEAD COACH point conversion. RAY PACE Middleville scored the decisive six-pointer in the third quarter on a quarterback sneak by Mike Newhouse, ending a 55 yard advance. It was nice to start out the new year with a win.

We hope to improve in those areas this week. Hudsonville will be a big game for us. They have a fine team. They are big, well coached and coming off an excellent win over Grand Rapids Christian. We will have to be at our best if we want to win Last week the TK Youth Football program got this game. The league did real well Friday, as six of the underway with their first week of practice, con­ eight teams won against outside competition. This sisting mostly of confusion and mis-direction, but means we will be seeing a good balanced league with a lot of understanding and the use of ex­ perience, the teams are slowly beginning to take this year. Whoever was in charge Friday night did a great form. We have a lot of newcomers this season, but job. The weather was perfect, the crowd support the coaches are still looking forward to an exciting excellent, the band fantastic and the final score year. This Monday was probably the busiest day right. Hope they are at Hudsonville along with all as the kids received their new jerseys and socks. They also had their pictures taken in their jerseys the rest of you on Friday night for the yearbook and we had our official weigh-in.

I SEPTEMBER 16. 1M2/ PAGE ELEVEN TK's X-Country Team Features 9 Girls, 7 Boys The Cross Country season will create new ex­ periences for a number of participants. For the fir­ st time in history, the Trojans will field a girls’ team. Only four of the sixteen team members have had past cross country experience. There are currently nine girls and seven boys on the teams. Returning veterans on the girls team are Sandy Irwin and Amber Steeby. Sandy had a very suc­ cessful sophomore year, one of the top conference runners, eighth place regional finisher and forty­ sixth at State. Amy also had a successful sophomore year until a late season injury put a halt to her running. She had a knee operation this summer and is on a gradual comeback trail. Female newcomers to the CC team are: Juniors Norma Carpenter, Maria Dunavan, Chris Wheeler, Renae Teater; Freshmen Wanda Carpenter, Michelle McLain and Trisha Thompson. Most of these girls have had a good past track experience and understand what it takes to get in top physical condition for the Cross Country season. Two letterwinners return from the 1981 season and should display leadership for the boys team. The two are senior captain Regie Raab and junior Larry Barton. Regie finished in the top ten in the conference and was voted to the honorable mention team. He missed going to State by one spot and is therefore currently working out with a goal in mind of representing Middleville in the state meet. He also stated that he would like to take the entire team along. He knows what it takes to qualify and is setting an example for the younger runners on the team. Those first year runners include: sophomore Todd Rounds, Freshman Mike Myers, Brian Smith, John Todd and Jim Vandenberg. Along with the dual conference meet schedule, the young harriers will participate in six in­ vitational. This year should prove to be a unique experience for many young people. YOUTH FOOTBALL (continued from page 10) for the game brings them out to football, even if it does smart a bit.

Varsity competition was new to 11 of the 14 team runners. And it was quite an experience! Heat, numbers and pace took its toll on the young team. The Girls team finished 14 out of 23 teams, and the Boys team finished 12 in a field of 22. Below are listed the place finish and time: 24:43 61 Sandy Irwin 25:36 74 Michelle McLain 26:09 81 Wanda Carpenter 28:14 96 Renae Teater 28:19 98 Chris Wheeler 32:56 112 Norma Carpenter 36:25 118 Trisha Thompson Jim Vandenberg Bryan Smith Ross Eounsa Regie Raab Mike Myers Larry Barton John Todd 42 47 70 78 102 125 129 18:28 18:33 19:09 19:34 20:24 23:50 26:28 TK Girls Suffer 6-1 Tennis Loss The TK Girls tennis team lost to Hudsonville by a score of 6-1 last week. Ranee Hooper won her match in a strong come-from-behind effort. Sandy Wierenga also played a great match in a losing 3 set effort. We gave some good effort in second set matches, but come up short. The first doubles team looked much better in the second set. Let's hope they con­ tinue to improve. Darc and Karen, are two singles players looking for consistency. Both played hard but had too many unforced errors. Individual results: 1st Singles 2nd Singles 3rd Singles 4th Singles 1st Doubles 2nd Doubles 3rd Doubles Darc Wingeier lost 1-6, 1-6 Ranee Hooper won 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 Karen Sias lost 3-6, 1-6 Sandy Wieringa lost 2-6, 6-4, 4-6 S.

Cook lost 2-6, 2-6 Middleville Linksmen Undergoing ‘Rebuilding Year9 After a very successful 1981 golf season, the 1982 linksters from Middleville will undertake a rebuilding year. Last year the Middleville golfers won the league championship, the league tour­ nament, finished second in the Regional and six­ teenth in the State. Gone from that team are five out of the top six players. The only returning regular stater as well as the only returning letter winner is sophomore Rolfe Timmerman Rolfe played last year as the number four player. He had the third best average on the team, finished 8th in the Conference, 13th in Regionals and shot Mid­ dleville’s best score in the State finals. As a fresh­ man last year, we counted Rolfe s score in twelve of the sixteen matches TK played. This year Rolfe will play as Middleville’s number one golfer. As a result of his summer playing experience. Rolfe has improved his game tremendously. We will depend greatly on his leadership to play this year if we hope to be successful. A total of fifteen golvers have attended pre­ season practice at the Yankee Springs Golf Course. Of those fifteen, only two are seniors Pat McCall and Tim Henry will be counted on during this year’s campaign. Both young men will be in the thick of the competition for spots two through six on the varsity squad. Pat played on last year’s team. Tim is playing on the golf team for the first time. Juniors returning from last year’s team are Rod Eggers and Rick Sherman. Both boys have the talent to help this year’s squad and are in the run­ ning for varsity positions. Juniors coming out for the first time are Troy Newman, Dale Thoms and Ron Finkbeiner. All three young men have shown that they have the ability to challenge for the open positions. Returning sophomores from last year’s team besides Rolfe are: Todd Courts, Bob Bekkering, Jim Will and Tim VanPolen. Bob Bekkering is the only other golfer on this year’s squad who played in a varsity match last year. At the present time, Bob is running as the number two golfer. He has shown excellent improvement over last year. With this year’s experience as well as next, by the time Bob is a senior he will be an excellent golfer. Todd Courts has shown tremen­ dous improvement from last year and is in a position to challenge for one of the top six spots. Jim Will and Tim VanPolen have shown that they have an excellent fundamental swing and their games will improve as the season progresses. Greg henry is the other sophomore on the team. He is out for the first time and has shown the willingness to learn in order to be an excellent golfer. Two freshmen are out. They are Rob Woodard and Marty Kermeen. Both boys have done well during the first week of practice. Marty has shot consistently in the fifties and Rob has lowered his round score twenty strokes in three days. This will be a rebuilding year for TK Golf, but it will be a fun year, because the competition is close and most of the players will be in the running for varsity positions If any of those in the running can shoot consistently in the mid 40 s. they will earn a spot. Team goals will be to break 180 and to be competitive in the matches. Coach Bernie Weller states, "If we can finish somewhere in the middle of the league it will be a good year. Once these young men get some experience, reach their full strength, and use the proper equipment, watch out because they will be good." TK Golfers Open Season The young Middleville golf team traveled to the Mullenhurst Golf Course on Tuesday, September 7 to take on the Delton Panthers in the first golf match of the year. Delton, showing no ill effects from losing their golf program for a year due to budget cuts, nearly set a school record in defeating the Trojans by a 158-175 score Delton was led by Shannon McWilliams who shot a one over par 36. Brett McBeth had a 39, Tad Freed a 40 and Scott Woodstock a 43. Leading Middleville was Rolfe Timmerman who shot a 39. Rick Sherman had a 41, Dale Thoms a 46, and Tim VanPolen 49. In the JV match, Delton had an excellent 185 score. Tim Hogan and Greg Brown had 42s, Jimm Fett a 50 and Dave Eddy a 51. Middleville’s JV score was 208. Troy Newman had a 49 and three players had 53’s: Rorr Finkbeiner, Greg Henry and Todd Courts Middleville has three home matches the week of September 13-17, which are played at the Yankee Springs Golf Course. �PAGE TWELVE / THE SUN AND NEWS, MIDDLEVILLE, MICH.

I SEPTEMBER 18. 1982 / PAGE THIRTEEN Scots’ Onsider Sets up 26-19 Win It took the Fighting Scots over three quarters to get untracked Friday night at Wayland, but in the end they came away with a tough fought 26-19 win. The Wildcats scored first on a 39 yard end sweep in the first quarter. The try for the extra point failed. The Fighting Scots scored early in the 2nd quar­ ter on a 15 yard run by Mike Stallings. The try for the extra point was blocked. Wayland also scored in the second quarter on a 1-yard plunge, again the try for PAT faded. Caledonia closed out the scoring in the first half on a nine yard pass play from Ron Schultz to Brad Harrison. Caledonia’s try for the 2-point conver­ sion was no good. The third quarter was scoreless. Early in the fourth, Wayland scored again on a 2 yard run. the kick for the extra point was good. The teams traded points and with under four minutes remaining in the game, the Fighting Scots took over on their own three yard line. Caledonia drove the length of the field on the running of Rob Koehl, the passing of Ron Schultz and the receiving of Paul Stuefen and Brad Harrison. The touchdown was scored on a 5 yard run by Rob Koehl. The try for two failed and Caledonia’s hopes seemed to fail also as they now trailed 19-18 with 1:22 remaining on the clock. Good fortune smiled on the Scots as Brad Harrison recovered his own on-side kick. It took the Fighting Scots only one minute to score as Ron Schultz hit Brad Harrison for gains of 22, 16, and with 16 seconds remaining, a 9 yard scoring strike. The two point conversion was good on a pass from Tim Dobson to Scott Harmsen. Rob Koehl was the leading rusher in the game with 20 carries for 99 yards. Ron Schultz ended the evening completing 12 of 25 passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns. Brad Harrison had the most exciting evening of all recovering his own onside kick and catching 8 passes for 99 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Fighting Scots will host Wyoming Lee in their league opener this Friday at home. We are looking for an excellent crowd for this opener.

MAIN STREET CALEDONIA, Ml �PAGE SIX / THE SUN AND NEWS, MIDDLEVILLE, MICH. I SEPTEMBER 23. 1982 Leaky Defense Dooms Middleville by Jim T. Verlinde Dave VanSickle and Scott Kaminski combined The Trojan Varsity football team took their first loss of the season last Friday, coming up on the for 94 of Middleville’s 138 rushing yards in an offen­ short end of a 33-20 score in a muddy offensive bat­ sive showing that featured 21 first downs. The Orange and Black host the Lee Rebels tle at Hudsonville. Hudsonville set the pace early in the first quarter, tomorrow night. Both teams are hoping to gain their scoring on a 32 yard pass, but missing the extra­ first league victory of the season. point kick. Middleville quickly answered, however, when Dave VanSickle ran in from two yards out. A missed conversion left the score knotted at six apiece. The Eagles scored twice more before the half, sandwiching a 34-yard Trojan touchdown pass to Tim Lukas. The first half lended with Hudsonville by Jim Verlinde ahead 19-14. Middleville’s Junior Varsity football squad ran An 80-yard sprint to paydirt early in the second half for the Eagles all but drowned TKs hopes for its record to 2-0 last Thursday night, checking the Eagles of Hudsonville defensively to take the 12-0 victory as the Blue and Gold jumped ahead 25-14. Each team managed one more touchdown with victory. In the first quarter. Rob Anders scored on a fourthe Trojans’ points coming on a one-yard plunge by yard run after Middleville’s Don Porter recovered a quarterback Jim Schipper. Despite a never-ending downpour, Schipper com­ Hudsonville fumble on the Eagles' 32 yard line. Anders scored again in the second stanza on a pleted 14 of 27 passes for 207 yards, eight of which were g Tabbed in by Tim Lukas, who collected 145 three yard trot to end the game’s scoring. Offensively, quarterback Mike Newhouse rushed yards. Tony Doombos received four for 46 yards. for 47 yards and was seven of 15 for 73 yards in the passing department. Mike Wiley chipped in with 37 yards rushing. The Trojan defense, led by noseman Tony Plants, held Hudsonville to negative 19 yards total offense. Plants collected nine tackles, while linebacker Mike Wiley had seven. The defense was anchored well by BY TK HEAD COACH defensive ends Dave Karel and Gregy Lydy. Tonight the Orange and Black hit the road, RAY PAGE taking their 1-0 league record to Lee. JV’s Undefeated in Shutout Over Eagles Ray’s Page Whoever was in charge this yeek did not do a good job. The weather was terrible and the final score was even worse. Our defense was unable to stop the Hudsonville attack. They didn't do anything different than we thought they would. We planned on stopping their quarterback and that was the only part of our defense plan that worked. We thought they might throw more but I guess they didn't have to. The bright spot was our offensive. There are not many games when you gain 345 yards and run over 80 offensive plays and still lose. Our offensive line blocked well and that enabled our back to pick up some good yardage rushing. We did not feel we would be able to run on them as much as we did. Jim Schipper did an excellent job of running and passing the ball in spite of the rain. I also thought Tim Lukas and Tony Doombos made some great catches. This week it’s Lee and Parent’s night. I hope we can turn it around both with the weather and the score. In answer to a question, the players purchased the new shirts with their names on themselves so they could keep them after the season. Trojan Netters Lose One; Beat K’ville The TK Girls tennis team lost to Hamilton 6-1 on Monday but bounced back to defeat Kelloggsville 50 before rain cancelled the final two matches. The Trojans were behind Caledonia Friday by a 3-0 score when the rains came again to stop the second match of the week. The first doubles team of Sara Schondelmayer and Kristy Miner saved the Trojans from being shut out by Hamilton, Sara and Kristy won a hard fought match 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. Sara dominated the net in the third set while Kristy did a fine job of keeping the ball deep on Hamilton's court. The Trojans dominated Kelloggsville at home last Wednesday. Darcy Wingeier started things off on the right foot with a 6-4,6-2 win. Sandy Wierenga at 3rd singles and Karen Sias at 4th singles both followed with 6-1, 6-1 victories. The only doubles team to complete a match was the 2nd doubles team of Kathy Miner and Karyn Elies. They won their match 6-2, 6-0. Both players showed good con­ sistency throughout the match. We are still have trouble selecting the type of shot to take in certain situations. With a young team we expect these kinds of mistakes. These players are learning a great deal during match play and con­ tinue to show steady improvement. The player of the Week for the Trojans is Sandy Wierenga. Sandy is playing her first year of singles. She is showing good consistency and steady im­ provement with angle shots. Sandy is beginning to move much better on the court and anticipates shots very well. Middleville Golfers Post Two Victories The Middleville Golf Team stroked its way to two wins last week at the Yankee Springs Golf Course. Leading the way for the Trojans in their first two wins of the year was Rolfe Timmerman who was medalist, or co-medalist in all the matches. The young sophomore is playing very good golf at the start of the season. Middleville started the week by entertaining Hudsonville and Kelloggsville in an OK Blue Con­ ference match. Middleville defeated Hudsonville by four shots 179 to 184. Besides Timmerman s fine 38. Middleville used Rod Eggers' 45. Todd Courts’ 47 and Bob Bekkering's 49. Don Dykema led Kelloggsville with a 42. Kelloggsville edged Mid­ dleville by four shots. Jeff Lawrence had a 39 to lead the Rockets in scoring. In the Lee match on Wednesday. September 15, Timmerman's 40 led the Trojans. Bob Bekkerings 46, Tim Henry’s 48. Rick Sherman's 50 and Todd Courts' 50 contributed to Middleville’s total of 184 which was ten shots better than Lee's 194. R. Peuler led Lee with a 44. To finish the week, Middleville entertained Delton. Even though Middleville decreased the deficit of the previous match by seven shots, the Panthers still won by eleven total strokes. Tim­ merman was co-medalist with Delton’s Brett Mc­ Beth who had a 39. Henry, Bekkering and Pat Mc­ Call all had 46 s for TKs total of 177. Delton shot a 168 as Shannon McWilliams, Dan Hogan and Tad Freed all had 43’s. Middleville's overall record is at 2-3 and 2-1 in league play. Runners Host Ten Area Teams TODD The Trojan Cross Country team was host to ten area teams at Yankee Springs Golf Course last Wednesday. On this cool, rainy day, Todd Rounds emerged as the top finisher for the young boys’ team. His 18th place finish was good enough to earn a medal. Senior Regie Raab and freshman Brian Smith finished behind Todd, but finished high enough to emerge as medal winners. Norma Carpenter earned a medal with her 13th place finish in the girls run, to pace the girls team at Yankee Springs. She ran an excellent time of 22:55. Norma continued her fine efforts with a 9th place finish at the Forest Hills Invitational on Saturday. Michelle McLain also was a medal winner, finishing 20th with a 25:11 clocking. Renae Teater and Trisha Thompson earned ribbons for their efforts. Jim Vandenberg was a medal winner at Forest Hills with a 14th place finish.

The aggressive Caledonia team caused numerous fumbles and quar­ terback sacks, with Schaafs ma. Graham, McCarty. Wanzer and Tebo often breaking through the line, the Lee backfield was a dangerous place to play. The Caledonia TDs were credited to Dan Collins on a quarterback sneak; tailback Ryan Flynn twice ran to pat dirt, and Rick McCarty also. Caledonia's line, both offensive and defensive, especially Barber and Bud Poll, and ends Schaafsma and Crosby, executed their blocking assignments very well, springing the ball earners McCarty, Flynn, Lentz, Wanzer and Kent Poll quickly and of­ ten. The Lee team tried valiantly, but were unable to succeed against the strong Caledonia defense which bottled their offense to the center of the lines and shutting off any end runs or even attempt at passing.

It usually occurs when the shape in front of the eye is more oval than round. The signs and symptoms of astigmatism are varied. Higher degrees may cause distorted or blurred vision. Slight degrees may cause headaches, fatigue and poor schoolwork. Squinting, eye irritation and discomfort are also symptoms. Astigmatism is corrected by prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses. When lenses are prescribed, objects may first look distorted until the wearer adjusts to them. The degree of astigmatism may change, with a greater change occurring during the school years, and then again for elderly persons.

Having resigned his commission in the Italian Army as Sauce Sergeant, Luigi wandered the streets of Beirut. Lebanon, until he was invited to join Yasar Arafat and his party in their departure from Beirut. Luigi soon discovered, however, that he was on his way to Rome with Yasar to visit the pope. This visit was televised in Italy and Luigi s angry wife was one of those who saw the broadcast. She soon ap­ peared at the front door of the house where Arafat was staying.

Then, it was the gathering place for spring and fall meetings of Chippewa Indians from all over northern Michigan. Several hundred years later, near the rock-Kitchi-ossining is still there -sits the electric generating plant that pioneered Michigan’s nuclear era Big Rock Point Nuclear Plant owned and operated by Con­ sumers Power Company, is cele­ brating its 20th anniversary this month. Built on the threshold of a new technology. Big Rock Point was Michigan’s first and the nation*s fifth, commercial nuc­ lear power plant Construction started in 1960, and finished 2H years later at a cost of nearly $27 million--a bargain by today’s standards for any type of generat­ ing plant In the 20 years that have fol­ lowed. scientists have watched the nuclear plant with interest Sa toa have the local residents in nearby Charlevoix and Petoskey, many of whom call it a “good friend and neighbor” The plant generates enough electricity to serve 100,000 people annually. “We like Big Rock.” says Josh Barnes, president of Lexalite Corporation, which is located 1.200 yards from the nuclear plant “If Big Rock were not to operate, we would not be com­ petitive in our marketplace. The plant has become valuable to local residents in other ways, too It provides a big boost to the loc al economy-at least $5 million in 1981 alone through things like payroll purchases, taxes and lodging The plant employs about 160 people, many of them are involved in area religious, civic and governmental activities.

As only the nation’s fifth commercial nuclear plant its operations have been studied closely. In fact Con­ sumers Power, General Electnc and the former Atomic Energy Commission conducted a re­ search and development pro­ gram at the plant The suc­ cessful program was designed to achieve increased fuel economy and greater electric generating capacity from nuclear power In 1977. the nuclear plant set a world record for boiling water reactors by operating 343 con­ secutive days. Last year, the plant fell five days short of breaking its own record. It generated rlectncitv 91 percent of the time in 1981. Although 20 years old.

The young Trojans played well for the first game of the season. They built an 8-0 first quarter lead and extended it to 18-2 at the half. The Trojan substitutes played most of the second half as Hamilton cut the Trojan lead down to 5 points with a few minutes to play. The Trojans then held on to score the victory.

From their own 23 yard line, quarterback Ron Schultz threw to Phil Tuttle and the fleetfooted sprinter raced for 78 yards and TD land. Brad Harrison kicked the extra point, and the Scots led 15-6 at the half. The Eagles came to play, however, and they struck after just 45 seconds in the third quarter. In just four plays good for 40 yards, they added six. but failed in the PAT department. Score: 15-12 and the excitement grew. Taking to the air again. Schultz uncorked another bomb to Tuttle and this one was good for 97 yards and 6 points. Harrison added a one point conversion and the scoreboard had the Scots leading 22-12. But. hang on to your seats, fans, the Eagles came back and in nine plays they found paydirt and brought the score to 22-20 with a successful 2 point conversion. Eleven minutes remained on the scoreboard, and despite a valiant try by Hudson­ ville. Caledonia's defense stiffened and turned them back. Lose Close Encounter Caledonia JV Football team gave up a close con­ test 12-8 last Thursday. Both Caledonia and Hud­ sonville exhibited a strong defense against each other; neither moved the ball very far on the ground or in the air. Both sides forced incomplete passes or made interceptions. Football games, however, are sometimes decided in favor of the team making the fewest mistakes. Hudsonville scored first on a long pass when Caledonia forgot to cover the man going deep into their territory. The Eagles scored again whe Caledonia was slow in executing a defensive change and put the game 12-0. The Scot J Vs refused to concede the game, fought back on a drive that ended with Kent Poll on a reverse scoring the TD and Ryan Flynn making the important extra 2 points. Although the game was still within the Fighting Scot reach, time and Hudsonville defense didn’t cooperate. Caledonia coaches observed that the defensive line, Barber, Hess and Bud Poll, with linebackers McCarty and Flynn, continue to be impressive. 7th Graders Down Hamilton The TK seventh grade girls basketball team had a surprisingly easy time defeating Hamilton 26-15 in their first game of the season. The game was played in Middleville and the home team roared to a 14-3 first half lead. In the second half the Trojans coasted to victory. The girls did a fine job in their first game and look as though they will have a good season. Those scoring were: Missy Moretti 8, Shelly Gray 6, Heather Hannapel 6, Beth Steeby 2, Jenni Frey 2 and Heather Perry 2.

Saturday was a great day for youth foot­ ball in Middleville starting with a Class C game between the Middleville Raiders and the Caledonia Killers. The Killers were a tough bunch, but not tough enough. The Raiders pulled out a victory after being tied at halftime. The second game, also Class C, was probably the most exciting of the day. The Middleville Trojans came within one yard of tying the score in the fourth quarter against the Lowell Redskins, but the Lowell defense was just too strong. The final game was played by the Midgets, the Middleville Bears against the Lowell Red Devils. Although they’re midgets, both teams played with giant hearts as the Bears won with a shutout. The Class B Middleville Trojans had a bye this week. We were real pleased with the turnout last Satur­ day and hope to see you all again this weekend.

Presbyopia is a vision condition in which the eyes’ focusing ability has gradually decreased so that vision at a normal reading distance is blurred and difficult. Due to the normal aging process, a gradual loss in focusing ability happens to vir­ tually everyone. It cannot be prevented, but can be corrected. Presbyopia actually begins during late childhood, but its effects aren't apparent until the ages between 40 and 45. The decline in focusing ability can only be corrected as fast as it occurs. As it decreases, stronger lense correction for close work is required periodically. The correction of presbyopia can be in the form of bifocals, reading glasses or contact lenses depending upon the specific visual needs of the in­ dividual. These lenses can aid vision, but cannot stop the natural decrease in focusing ability.

Recycling In Barry County volun­ teers have been working on the site for the past month. It is located at George Sinen’s party store on M-37. The site consists of an enormous bin for clear, green and brown glass, and a fenced area contains 55-gallon barrels for the deposit of tin cans and aluminum. The site is available to anyone who wishes to use it. Those who wish to recycle plastic milk jugs, newspapers and brown bags will have to bring them to the Recycle Unlimited site in Caledonia, at Caledonia Foods. RIBIC (pronounced Rib-ik) hopes recyclers will use both locations to recycle. Meanwhile, recyclers should start saving their glass, cans and aluminum now, as the site will open this month.

McFall Elementary Principal Bill Rich surveys the damage done to the windows at the school sometime early Saturday. B&E’s, Vandalism Hit Middleville A series of breakings and entering for the past several weeks has been plaguing Middleville business places. The Police Department reported that more than a dozen B&Es have been in­ vestigated in the village over the past three weeks. Last Saturday morning about $600 in quarters was taken from the amusement machines at the Middle Villa. A reward is being ffered for information leading to the people responsible, said police officer Boyd Cain. Cain especially wanted people to be on the lookout for anyone trying to spend a large amount of quarters. Also last weekend, vandals broke out about 10 windows in the McFall Elementary school building. The Middle School building was also vandalized, but not as seriously. At McFall the vandals did some damage to one of the classrooms, but no estimate of damage was furnished by TK School. Anyone having information concerning any "af­ ter hour" activity should contact the Middleville Police Department.

My son, “Stub” Harold Jr. and I had a most enjoyable September, which was spent in Alaska ONE WEEK ONLY! visiting with daughter Dezi and Steve Frank and granddaughters Brenna, Sarah and Bianca. The town of Fairbanks, of course, is a busy place, but I might add a very unusually laid out town. Residential and businesses just intertwine wherever it seems fit! Very, very small log homes sitting next to buildings and shopping stores are placed very much at random. Many apartment complexes and mobile home courts are placed in woody field-Eke areas. The villages out from Fairbanks are tery quaint and old, and it seemed so strange to me to see snowshoes tacked to the outside of the home and dog sleds next to the home - and always skins and dried meat and fish on racks outside. I was told that most Eskimo Indians live according to their culture and neither intend nor desire to Eve any different. I might also add that they are more than a bit hostile toward the “white man.” My son “Stub” had a trip that probably is a dream trip to most outdoor men! Son-in-law Steve flies for “Aurora Air Service” and Stub accom­ panied him on several flights to the “Bush.” And then Steve, Stub and eight other men left on a four day “Caribou Hunting trip.” They camped north of the Arctic Circle between the villages of Kobuk and Dahl Creek. Stub experienced Efe on the tundra, saw several thousand caribou, many moose and bear. As expected, they all bagged “trophy” rack caribou and had a most enjoyable time. We brought Stub’s rack home with us and left the fur hid up there to be Alaska Adventure HOT SANDWICH FREE CAN of POP "Fire Prevention - what's that?"

OCTOBER 7,1982 Old Fashion “Politicking” Saturday at Charlton Park Politicking will take on an old fashioned flair Saturday, October 9 at Charlton Park. State and local candidates from all political par­ ties and the public are being invited to attend the park s first “Old Fashioned Political Rally" which will include a pig roast, dancing and a bonfire. The occasion will offer an opportunity for can­ didates to meet and mingle with citizens in a casual and fun atmosphere, according to park officials. Highlighting the nostalgia will be an evening tor­ ch light parade of candidates around the park’s village green. After dark, about 8 p.m., the village green will glow from the light transmitted from burning torches, symbolic of rallies held long ago. “We are trying to revive the old fashioned rallies that were held from the Civil War days to the end of the 19th century where candidates could mingle with the crowd and bring forth a non-partisan at­ mosphere in the community and everyone could have fun," said Edward McPharlin, park board president. The park, a reconstructed agricultural village of the 19th century, provides the perfect setting for the event, be said. American flags will wave over the park grounds where activities will begin with a 5:30 p.m. pig roast. There is a $3.75 charge for dinner, but ad­ mission to the park will be free for this event. The menu will include baked beans, cole slaw, roast pork sandwiches, coffee and cider. In case of rain.m the pig roast will be held in the park’s large pavilion. Several old time fiddlers will provide background music during the dinner and afterwards for dancing. Following the torch light parade, candidates will have an opportunity to introduce themselves and speak for several minutes from the platform in front of the park’s town hall.

MiddJrdlle, Michigan Trojans Lose to Hawks in Overtime Ray’s Page BY TK HEAD COACH RAY PAGE It’s hard to write this after losing a game like we did last Friday. I felt we out-played Hamilton most of the game and still lost. Our defense did an excellent job. All year everyone has picked on them but they certainly came of age this week. Nathan Briggs, Ed Wilson, Scot Noffke and Rob Boshears, along with all the rest, did their best job of the year. That is the first overtime game that a Middleville team has been in­ volved in. It’s real early to look back in a game like that and find 98 ways in which you should have won it. After looking at the films, we found more of them. One thing that the film did show us was a lot of bad calls that we received. I didn’t want to take away from Hamilton who played a fine game, or sound like a person making sour grape comments or excuses, but every time I looked at the films over the weekend, it made it harder to accept. The league is still all mixed up so we still aren’t out of the race. This week is Homecoming, so we’ll be out there giving it our best shot against Kelloggs ville. TK Middle School Basketball: 8th GRADERS LOSE TO M.V. The TK Girls 8th grade basketball team was defeated 25-13 by Maple Valley on September 29. The Trojans fell behind during the first quarter, trailing 6-1 at its end. The Trojans put things together during the second quarter and only trailed 8-7 at halftime The third quarter was almost even with Maple Valley scoring 4 points and Middleville 2. The fourth quarter again was close until about halfway through, when Maple Valley was able to score 3 quick baskets and put the game away. The Trojans, playing without 3 starters, put up a gallant effort while playing their hearts out and should be congratulated. Scoring for the Trojans were Trena Yonkers 6 points, Deb Ploeg 5, Missy Perry 2. The loss evens the Trojans’ record at 1-1. DOWN LOWELL, 19-17 The TK 8th Grade girls basketball team defeated Lowell 19-17 on September 30 to improve their record to 2-1. The Trojans started slow, falling behind 6-0 after the first few minutes. Then they began to put things together and fought to tie the score at 6-6 as the first quarter ended. The second quarter was all even and by halftime the score was tied at 10-10. Lowell outscored the Trojans 6-4 in the third quarter to take a 2 point lead into the four­ th. The final quarter was all Trojans as they out­ scored Lowell 5-1 and were able to hold on through the last 2 minutes to clinch the win. Scoring for the Trojans were Diana London 9, Deb Ploeg and Trena Yonkers 4 points each and Kim Koetsier, 2 points. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 7,1982 REGIE TK Cross Country Teams Beat G.R.B.

Gals Finish Sixth by Jim Schipper The Middleville Trojans traveled to Hamilton last Friday with the memory of last year’s defeat lingering in their minds, then went on to lose the hard fought overtime contest 12-6. The offense took the opening kick and marched down deep into Hamilton territory before coughing it up. The offense moved up and down the field all night, but couldn’t penetrate the goal line until early fourth quarter when Dave Van Sickle scored from one yard out. The extra point failed and the score was 6-0. The defense held tough. They did a super job only allowing 144 total yards compared to the Trojans’ 230. The defense thwarted an excellent Hamilton surge with 2 minutes left when Ed Wilson recovered a fumble in the endzone. The offense sputtered and the Trojans were forced to punt deep in their territory. Hamilton blocked the punt and scored. Defense was anchored by the strong performance of Rob Boshears, Scott Noffke. Tim Lukas, Nathan Briggs, Ed Wilson and Brian Wilshire. In overtime, Hamilton scored on their possession, but Middleville was stopped. Offensively, Dave VanSickle had a good ground game, gaining 45 yards in 9 carries. Jim Schipper completed 13 of 31 passes for 130 yards. Tim Lukas and Tony Doombos kept their all-league form when they grabbed 6 (73 yards) and 3 (29 yards) passes respectively. Friday night the Trojans will host the Rockets of Kelloggsville in the Annual Homecoming Game. JV’s Stop Hamilton; Meet Rockets Thursday by Jim T. Verlinde. The Middleville Junior Varsity football squad rode a strong second half to victory last Thursday, beating Hamilton 20-6. Hamilton scored in the first quarter on a 4-yard run which capped off a 73-yard drive. The team’s defenses took over from that point and the first half ended 6-0. The Trojans came out determined in the third quarter, taking the kick-off and marching 55 yards to the endzone. The six points came on a 17 yard pass to Tim Browne. Steve Rosenberg scored on TK’s next possession, covering the final 17 yards of the Trojan drive. Mike Wiley ran the ball in for the conversion. Tim Browne put the game out of reach in the final quarter by in­ tercepting a Hamilton pass and running it back 34 yards for another Trojan TD. Running back Rob Anders, linebacker Mike Wiley, defensive end Greg Lydy and noseman Tony Plants all had excellent performances. The Trojans travel to Kelloggsville tonight to play in the battle of the unbeatens. The game could be the decisive contest in the race for the top of the OK Blue. Trojan Golfers Post 5-5 League Record The Middleville golf team improved its league record to 5-5 and its overall record to 6-7 with vic­ tories over Lee and Hastings last week. On Wed­ nesday the Trojans traveled to the Pines to take on Lee. TK’s low team score of the year, a 170, edged the Rebels by 5 shots. Medalist Rolfe Timmerman led the way with a one under par 34. Rolfe’s round featured three birdies in a row. Other Middleville scores that counted in the 170 total were. Bob Bekkering’s and Tim Henry’s 45’s and Ron Fiakbeiner and Todd Courts’ 46’s Dave Dutmer led Lee with a 38. Last Thursday the Trojans traveled to the Hastings Country Club to take on the Saxons. Ron Finkbeiner shot his low round of the year in leading TK to victory. His medalist score was a fine four over 40. Rolfe Timmerman had a 41, Tim VanPolen a 46, Todd Courts a 47. Tom Finnic led Hastings with a 42. In the JV match Hastings won by seven shots. Troy Newman’s 47 led Middleville. Greg Rodenbeck’s 46 led Hastings.

One of The Best Races of Season The Caledonia Fighting Scott Cross Country team ran one of their best races of the season as they defeated the Lee Rebels by the score of 22-35. The Scots performed very well on a very hot, muggy day, which caused most times to be slower than ex­ pected. Dave Rackow ran an excellent time of 16:17, while Tim Holliday ran an exceptional final quarter mile to finish second and Scott Cherpes ran a solid 16:52 to finish fourth. Rob Durkee and Eric Mulder finished 7th and 8th to give the Scots good team depth.

The Fighting Scots were on the scoreboard first when Paul Stuefen picked up a Bulldog fumble and sprinted 50 yards for the touchdown. The conver­ sion was kicked by Brad Harrison. Byron Center scored twice in the 2nd period and converted one of the 2-point tries to lead 14-6. Caledonia scored later in the first half on a 14 yard pass from Ron Schultz to Todd Colvin. The try for two failed and Byron led 14-13 at the half. The second half belonged to Byron Center as the Bulldogs scored twice and Caledonia could not capitalize from deep inside Bulldog territory. Caledonia's defense, which was on the field most of the night, was led by Todd Colvin, who was in on 22 tackles. The Fighting Scots hope to get back on the win­ ning track in a wild OK Blue league as they travel to Comstock Park this Friday. Dawgs Blank JV The Fighting Scot JV football team dropped a 120 ball game to the Byron Center Bulldogs. The Scots highlights were few and far apart, as the Scot offen­ sive unit was seldom seen on the field. The Scot defense played a good first half with the exception of one play, a long Byron touchdown run. The Scots came out fired up in the second half, but after numerous mistakes and turnovers, the Scots’ hopes slipped away. Rich McCarty and Ryan Flynn turned in good performances on defense for the Scots. Golfers Swing to 4 OK Blue Wins The Caledonia Golf team shot well this week by defeating four league opponents and winning a non­ leaguer. On Monday the Scots traveled to Ironwood to meet with Byron Center and Lee. The Scots won both by identical 5-0 margins as they were led by Mike Poll with an even par 37. Bret Bonzheim added a 40, Rick Thorington 42 and Brian Finkbeiner 43. On Tuesday the Scots defeated Lowell 5-0 as they were led by Mike Poll and Bret Bonzheim with 41’s. On Wednesday the Fighting Scots met up with Comstock Park and Hudsonville at the Scott Lake Country Club. The Scots once again came away with two 5-0 victories. The team was led by Mike Poll with 38, Bret Bonzheim and Mike Wilson 42, and Stew Simpson 44. The Scots are now 8-1 in the OK Blue, second to Hamilton who leads with a perfect record. The Scots are looking forward to returning to Saskatoon as they take on Hamilton and Middleville this week. Trojan Tennis Team Has Best Week of Year The TK Girls tennis team had their best week of the season last week. The girls won 3 out of 4 mat­ ches. All 3 wins came against league opponents, while the loss was to a non-league team. Middleville returned to Caledonia to finish a rained out match on Monday. Caledonia held a commanding 3-0 lead when the match was rained out. The Trojans needed all 4 of the remaining poin­ ts to clinch a victory. Karen Si** was leading 3-0 when her opponent was forced to forfeit due to illness. Ranee Hooper followed with a hard won 7-5, 6-4 win to make the team score 3-2 in Caledonia's favor. Karyn Elies and Kathy Miner followed with an 0-6, 6-0, 6-3 win to tie the match. Sara Schondelmayer and Kristy Miner held on to clinch a Trojan victory by winning another 3 set match, 4-6,6-3,6-4. Tuesday Hamilton came to towm to find the young Trojans still riding high. The Trojans came away with a 5-2 victory. Ranee Hooper won a tough 3-set match, 6-2, 2-6, 6-4. Karen Sias played a great match, showing some strong ground strokes and aggressive net play to come away with a 6-1, 6-2 win. In doubles action, it was again the 1st and 2nd doubles teams that showed their power. This time, however, the 3rd doubles team was not about to be left out. At 1st doubles. Sara and Kristy played one of their best matches of the year winning 6-2, 6-3. At 2nd doubles, Kathy and Karyn looked very im­ pressive in their 6-0, 6-3 win. The 3rd doubles team. Ginger and Julie, broke into the win column with a well played 6-4.7-6 victory. Next. Godwin came to town to take a 5-2 victory from the Trojans. Sandy Wieringa came through with a 6-3,6-1 win. Kathy and Karyn followed with a 6-4, 2-6, 6-1 match to give the Trojans their second win of the day. Friday the Trojans get back on the right track by downing Kelloggsville 6-1. We had to forfeit 3rd doubles because Ranee Hooper pulled a muscle against Godwin and was unable to play the Kelloggsville match. This caused us to move everyone up a spot, leaving 3rd doubles open. Darcy Wingeier and Karen Sias were selected as Players of the Week. Darcy is our best player. We have been very happy with Darcy’s last two mat­ ches in particular. Darcy is not only our best player but our team leader. Darcy ’s leadership is one of the reasons our team won 3 of 4 matches last week. Dar­ cy won her match against Kelloggsville 6-2, 6-1. Karen is playing 4th singles this year. She has done a great job for us all year at this position. Her hard work and determination have paid off, both for herself and the team. Karen won her match with Kelloggsville 6-0,6-1. TK GOLFERS (continued) This week Middleville travels to Saskatoon to play Hamilton and Caledonia, to Nashville to play Maple Valley, and entertains Comstock Park and Byron Center at the Yankee Springs Golf Club. On Saturday, October 9, the OK Blue Conference will hold their league meet at the Briarwood Golf Club. PAGE SEVEN Trojan Girls Basketball Comeback for Varsity Too Late A very cold third quarter did not help Middleville in its quest for a victory over Martin. The Trojans, who had a 23-20 lead at halftime, were outscored 184 in the third quarter and found themselves behind 39 to 27. As has been the trait, Middleville had to fight back in the fourth quarter. The girls cut the lead down to 3 points but never could get any closer. The final score was 55-48, Martin. Jane Bry ans led the team in scoring with 13 poin­ ts. She was followed by Jill Smith with 11. Mary Funk and Laurie Hooper followed with 9 and 7 poin­ ts. Hooper was the leading rebounder with 8. Lose to Godwin by 6 Points The TK girls basketball team traveled to Godwin Thursday to come home a six point loser. This is becoming a bad habit for the girls as they have played well, only to go down to defeat by a few poin­ ts. The game was close all the way as Godwin lead throughout the game. At the end of the first quarter the score was 9-6. There was more scoring in the second quarter, but Godwin increased its lead to 8 points. In the third quarter, Middleville made its move and started up to the Godwin level. The Trojans had it down to 2 points in the quarter, only to see God­ win come back and take a 6 point lead. The fourth quarter was very exciting as Mid­ dleville came back strong and were down 41 -40 with 3 minutes left. A missed lay-up cost the Trojans a lead. From there it was who could make the most free throws and the final score was 49-43. Jane Bryans and Mary Funk lead the scoring with 12 points apiece. They were followed by Laurie Hooper with 7 points. Eagles Fly Over Trojans Thursday night the Middleville Varsity girls basketball team traveled to Hudsonville to take on the Eagles and came away on the short end of a 5028 score. Middleville was really up for the game, maybe too high. The first half was a basketball clinic for Mid­ dleville. They did everything right. The press was run to perfection. At the end of the first quarter they were ahead 8-4. The second quarter they played to a 10-10 tie and the Trojans took a well earned 1814 lead into the locker room. The second half was a different story. Mary Funk, Laurie Hooper and Sue Kaechele all got into foul trouble and had to sit. With 3 starters out, Hudson­ ville started to dominate the boards and shot at will. They also changed defenses and helped Middleville to 10 total second half points, while scoring 36. Jane Bryans was the only girl in double figures with 11 points. Mary Funk and Sue Kaechele each had 6. Bryans and Terri VanAman were the leading rebounders with 7. Dawn Bos came off the bench to play very well, according to coach Jeltes. Take Covenant Christian, 47-27 Middleville treated their visitors roughly Tue«d^y night as they beat Covenant Christian 4727. The first half was very tight as Covenant took a 65 lead after the first quarter. But the TK Girls came back with a good second quarter and took a 17-10 halftime lead. The third quarter was allMiddleville as they outscored Christian 15 to 6. Jane Bryans lead the scoring with 17 points, followed by Sue Kaechele with 10. Mary Funk was the leading rebounder with 11. Jill Smith and Laurie Hooper each had 10 rebounds. Junior Varsity Splits The TK JV girls split their games last week by scoring a 44 to 38 victory over Covenant Christian and losing to a fine Hudsonville team 66-28. Their record is now 4-3. After being tied at the half in the Christian game, the Trojans played a very good second half, being led by Kris Timm’s 16 points of her total 19. Others who scored were Karman Gray with 13. Monique Weesie with 8 and Brenda Page with 4. Traveling to Hudsonville proved to be a learning experience for young Trojans. They played against a big and strong Eagle team. Stacey Williamson, Bet­ ty Smith, Taleese Yonkers and Brenda Swanson played their best game this season. Scoring for the Trojans were Kris Timm with 9, Brenda Page 6, Kathy Schleh and Stacey Williamson with 4, Monique Weesie 3 and Taleese Yonkers 2, �MiddJrrfUe 8*n a»d Caledonia Nawa.

Mon., Oct. 11 to Sat., Oct. 16 UVE BETTER FULL $79 At the beginning of the school year I feel it’s im­ portant to review some basic characteristics of pre­ adolescents and adolescents. Some people find this group difficult to handle.control, communicate with and understand. Others find them fun. interesting and exciting. One thing is for certain, they are never dull and something is always happening. To help relieve parents that their adolescent is normal and not crazy, even though some of their behaviors may give that indication. I will repeat three previous ar­ ticles listing characteristics of adolescents. Normal adolescents will at some time or another exhibit some or most of these characteristics as they go through adolescence, (the time when boys and girls make the changes needed to develop into men and women).

Pictured here are West principal Ron Schreer and Chris Ayers. Each is wearing his orange and black jersey and flashing a number one finish for the Trojans. As it turned out, the number one represented the number of touchdowns the Trojans managed, as they were narrowly defeated by Kelloggsville 14-6. Schreer pointed out that his jersey goes back a bit farther than Chris’ - it’s the one he wore about 25 years ago for another orange and black team, the Brighton Bulldogs. “But I’m not used to this foot­ ball zeal,” he added. "I see girls with black and orange fingernails and I look over a sea of orange every Friday morning, and then there s Margaret Finkbeiner constantly stabbing me as she pins the orange gremlin on my lapel.

Luigi Escapes From Submarine The body of LUIGI BAGALONI, world famous spaghetti sauce gourmet and chef, was found washed up on a Sweden beach this past week. Luigi’s extremities were wrapped in pasta of all sorts and in one of his pockets was a half litre of borsch. Clutched in Luigi's hand was a note which said, “Please getta me to Middleville, ‘U S of A, by October 22”. In­ vestigators have discovered that Luigi was serving on a submarine which will not surface. Luigi, who wanted to surface, was forced to hide in a torpedo tube with the rest of the boat’s garbage, from which tube he was ejec­ ted. It is on the basis of the garbage on the per­ son of the traveling gourmet that the Swedes have determined that the trapped sub is either Italian or Russian. Sweden has decided to honor Luigi’s request and he will be sent to Middleville next week. Rotary spaghetti dinner will be held at the TK High School cafeteria from 5 to 7 p.m. on BAND NIGHT, Friday, October 22.

CHS Senior Looks Toward Career Karen Stenholm, a senior at Caledonia High School, is looking ahead to a promising and rewar­ ding occupational career thanks to a program of­ fered at the Kent Skills Center in Grand Rapids. Karen. 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Stenholm, 7850 East Paris, is in the second year of cosmetology training at the East Beltline Skill Cen­ ter along with regular class work at Caledonia High. Karen is one of several cosmetology students selec­ ted to demonstrate the basic fundamentals of the course at the annual Skill Center Open House for parents and guests. During the 1981-82 school year and for the current one. Karen travels daily from Caledonia to pursue a 2 Vi hour instructional course for the pur­ pose of entering the field upon graduation next spring. Besides the Skill Center program, Karen takes a government course and works as an office aide at Caledonia High School. When Karen elected to enter the cosmetology course several years ago and submitted the formal application to the Caledonia counseling staff, she knew the schedule and demands would be great. “I knew there would be a great deal of work and time involved, but also knew the position of a beautician in a good establishment would be highly rewar­ ding,” explains the Caledonia student. There was one opening for Caledonia High in the cosmetology course in Karen’s junior year. She was selected to fill the one slot and started her two year vocational instruction in the fall of 1981. Course requirements are extensive. Students must complete a total of 1,500 hours over this twoyear period. This requires going to summer school along with attending instruction and on the job training a number of Saturdays. Of the 1,500 instructional hours, 91; must be spent on actual practicing on patrons in all phases of tk school menus HIGH SCHOOL MIDDLE SCHOOL Monday: Sloppy Joe or hot dog on bun, tater tots, pudding, apricots, milk.

The remaining required hours are spent in the study of electricity, salon management and all other facets of the field. Kent Skills Center s beauty salon at the East Beltline facility is fully equipped with the latest machines and operates like a regular beauty shop. Like all other students, Karen gives hair washes, permanents, coloring, cuts hair, scalp treatments and facials during her 2Vi hour daily course. "It’s fun working with customers. We gain a great deal of experience and meet all types of people. It’s a tremendous education, one that doesn't come through books. ” explained Karen. When Karen Stenholm completes the required 1,500 hour course next spring, she realizes the most important and toughest part is ahead. To enter the cosmetology field, Karen must pass the rugged Michigan Board of Cosmetology examination. counselor’s corner BY BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counselor This week I would like to list the social and men­ tal characteristics of early adolescence. These characteristics may be helpful for you in trying to understand your adolescent. I Social Characteristics A. An expanding social interest is developing in 1. opposite sex, 2. peer groups and people in general, 3. making and keeping friends, 4. dress and grooming, 5. attractive personalities, and 6. desirable conduct and social procedures. B. Adolescents have a desire for independence from parents and other adults, but at the same time crave direction and approval from them. C. Basically they enjoy school. D. Pressures from the peer group often determine behavior. E. There is a need to be accepted by a peer group. At the same time they are becoming more indepen­ dent. F. They are often cruel to one another • often shown by playing practical jokes or insulting peers. This is done to satisfy power needs. G. There is an increased interest in the com­ petitive spirit. H. They tend to be critical of family and home. II Mental Characteristics A. Adolescents are increasing in 1. ability to think, 2. developing more realistic vocational in­ terests and 3 appreciation for adult levels of in­ terests.

Baa aad Caiwioela New., Middleville, Michigan PACK SIX TK Gals Take 2nd Place in Blue League Ray’s Page BY TK HEAD COACH RAY PAGE The only nice things about Homecoming were the band, the King and Queen, and the dance. The football game sure left a lot to be desired. This week, as last, the defense was not really too bad. They gave up two big plays and that really hurt, but a couple of more touchdowns by the offense would have made the difference. We had the opportunities, but always seem to have a breakdown that preven­ ted the score or 1st down when we needed it. We picked up some yardage passing, but we had a total of 5 yards rushing for the evening. The JVs are doing well as they are 5-0. Maybe we should look at their secret to success. The Freshmen are having some trouble just like the varsity, but if you would have seen the size of the Zeeland team they lost to last week, you could understand why. This week its the boys from up north. They've had a few troubles like us. but they sure have the speed. Should be a good wide open game, sure hope we can get back on the winning track in this one. Long Runs Ruin TK Homecoming by Jim T. Verlinde. Thomapple Kellogg High’s varsity football squad continued what has been a frustrating season with a 14-6 Homecoming loss to Kelloggsville last Friday. A breakdown in the TK rushing attack and two long TD sprints by the opposition handed the Trojans their third loss in five contests. The first half ended in an 0-0 defensive knot, but that did not last long as the Rockets ran 77 yards to paydirt on the first play of the second half. The ex­ tra point kick failed. Middleville answered promptly, however, scorin g their lone touchdown on a pass from quarterback Jim Schipper to flanker Tim Lukas. An errant con­ version pass left the score tied at six apiece. Kelloggsville scored the decisive points on a 71 yard option run as the final seconds of the third quarter ticked away. A successful conversion pass increased the Rocket lead to eight points and set the stage for the fourth quarter defensive deadlock. The Trojans compiled 201 yards in the air but showed inefficiency on the ground, running for a net total of only five yards. Jim Schipper completed 13 of 27 passes but was sacked for losses totalling 46 yards. Tim Lukas grabbed in eight tosses for 167 yards. The TK Defensive unit held the Rockets to 38 acial yards but gave up 251 rushing yards. Tomorrow the Orange and Black travel to Caledonia to take on the 2-2 Fighting Scots. The TK Defensive unit held the Rockets to 38 aerial yards but gave up 251 rushing yards. Crush Kelloggsville Middleville’s Junior Varsity crushers put their of­ fense and defense together for the first time last Thursday, routing previously undefeated Kelloggsville 24-0. The victory ran TKs record to 50. In the first quarter, Trojan Mike Wiley fell on a Rocket fumble deep in Kelloggsville territory. Rob Anders proceeded to carry the ball in from the three yard line for Middleville’s first TD. Wiley ran in the extra points. The second stanza saw Anders run in once again from three yards out, then trot in for two more extra points, giving the Orange a 16-0 halftime lead. Passing provided the scoring punch in the third period when quarterback Mike Newhouse connected with Tim Browne for a 42 yard touchdown play. End Dave Karel grabbed in the conversion pass for the game's final points Teamwork did the job for the Trojans as the of­ fense moved the ball 317 yards while the defense held the Rockets to 58 yards. Steve Rosenberg led the TK squad attack, carrying the pigskin for 106 yards. Rob Anders and Mike Newhouse complimented that with perfor­ mances of 47 and 62 yards respectively. Middleville's defensive unit put on a fine show with end Oreg Lydy continuing his leadership role. Backs Tim Browne and Mike Newhouse collected an interception apiece. Noseman Tony Plants and tackles Greg Miller and Charlie Lund played impor­ tant parts also. THURSDAY.

In the Caledonia match. Darcy Wingeier played very well in a losing effort, 2-6, 5-7. Ranee Hooper was forced to forfeit her match due to a muscle problem that has been bothering her. Sandi Wieringa played one of the best matches this season to reverse an earlier decision by a 6-1, 6-1 score. Karen Sias followed with a 6-1, 7-5 win to even the team score at 2 all. In doubles action Sara Schondelmayer and Kristy Miner were defeated 1-6, 4-6. The 3rd doubles team of Julie Bussema and Ginger Cook pulled the upset of the day by winning 6-3, 7-5. Kathy Miner and Karen Elies were the heroes again, winning in straight sets. 7-5,6-0 to give the Trojans the win. In the conference match we felt that our players did an excellent job all day. I have never coached a more determined group of young people. Even in the matches we lost we found a great deal of pride in the way we layed. We finished 2nd in the tournament and 2nd overall. Darcy Wingeier defeated Kelloggsville 6-7. 6-1, 63. lost to an undefeated player from Hudsonville 4-6, 5-7, and lost to Caledonia 2-6, 3-6. Darcy played a great match against Hudsonville and had two set points before Hudsonville came back to take the win. Ranee Hooper won the 3rd singles flight last year, and stormed through the 2nd singles flight this year. Ranee was placed No. 1 for her flight, had a bye in the first round, defeated Kelloggsville 6-1,60, and defeated Hudsonville 6-3,6-4 in the finals. Sandi Wieringa has shown a great deal of im­ provement over the past two weeks in particular. Sandi had a 1st round bye, then lost to the eventual champion 3-6, 6-4, 6-8. It was a touch match to lose but Sandi played some great tennis. She went on to defeat Kelloggsville 6-1, 6-2 and Caledonia 6-4, 6-3 ro finiah 3rd overall in her first season as a singles player. Karen Sias did a great job at 4th singles defeating Caledonia 6-0, 6-1. She then played another great match against Hudsonville losing 6-7, 5-7. Karent went on to finish 3rd overall by defeating Kelloggsville 6-1, 6-4 in the consolation round. Sara Schondelmayer and Kristy Miner were con­ ference runnersup. They had a first round bye, then defeated Hamilton in a key match 6-1, 7-5. In the finals we lost to Hudsonville 1-6, 1-6. Karyn Elies and Kathy Miner were also the run­ nersup for their flight (2nd doubles). They had a first round bye, then defeated Caledonia 6-2, 6-1 before losing in the finals to Hudsonville 1-6, 0-6. The third doubles team of Julie Bussema and Ginger Cook added 1 point to the Trojan total which gave us a total of 23 points on the day. Hamilton finished 3rd with 22 points. In non-league action, we played South Christian and lost 1-6 without Ranee playing at the number 2 singles position. We also lost to Rogers two days later by a 3-4 score. We felt that we could have taken Rogers with a healthy team, however Ranee was forced to forfeit her match. We just didn’t want to go any further with her on the court. The conference match was only two days away and that win would just not have been worth taking any more chances. Congratulations to the 1982 tennis team on their 2nd place finish. Nine of the ten starters will be back next year with more experience, as much deter­ mination, and their sights on Number 1!-------- TURN TO PAGE 11 AND CHECK OUT THE CLASSIFIED ADS THIS WEEK PUT YOUR AD WITH THEM NEXT WEEK. 795-3345! jSuq Off PEST CONTROL, Inc REPRESENTED BY ROB WHITE 24:26 Runners of the Week The TK “Runners of the Week’’ are Regie Raab and Norma Carpenter.

Middleville, Michigan THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14,1982 Fall Fest Time at Bowens Mill Historic Bowens Mills will be hosting an Old Fashion Fall Fest on October 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The past will live again as harvest time pioneer crafts and activities come alive. The art of making apple butter, sauerkraut, cider, butter and herbal wreaths will be demonstrated. Two blacksmiths, gasoline engines, buggy rides, old time music and Polish kraut dogs are all part of the program. The costumed craftsmen will have their old time crocks, kettles and supplie set up along the edge of the old mill stream, demonstrating their pioneer skills. The air will ring with the sounds of hammers on the anvils. The mill blacksmith, Fred Griffeth of Lowell, will be at the forge just as if it were 1864 again. Richard Hieneckle, noted for his exhibition work at Greenfield Village and Fort Michilimackinack, will be back at the mill. When the gasoline engine came into use, Bowens Mills belted up much of its milling equipment to their fly wheel pullies. Burdette Lewis will be at the fall fest, and his old 1909 and 1914 four and seven horsepower “economy gasoline engines” will be chugging away. They are just like the ones the old timers say were used at the mills. A 1928 general purpose John Deer tractor will also be part of his One name says it best.

Due to the uncertain weather of October, the usual arts and craft show and flea market will not be held. However, rain or shine, the Fall Fest will take place. If the weather does not cooperate, the demos will be held inside. The mill museum floor will be open for tours all day, along with the lower level power section.

People are realizing the need to record their wishes on funeral services for themselves. They recognize that this takes away the difficult burden of decision-making later during the hour of need and assures the family of doing the right things within proper bud­ gets. For some time, this funeral home has recognized the needs and desires of thinking persons to plan ahead. I have developed ways of assisting those who wish to make arrangements in advance. Our funeral home has quite a lot of families who have so re­ corded their plans and wishes with us. They appreciate the oppor­ tunity to make these wishes known. Most people have definite ideas about the services they wish for themselves: specific details such as the minister, the music and Scripture readings, flowers, costs, etc. They don’t have to pre-plan their funerals, but they know it’s a good feeling when it’s done and the family won’t have to worry about it! There are three reasons to pre-plan your funeral Economy — You can save money when you pre-plan by stipu­ lating only as much in service and merchandise as you wish. Personal Choices — You can choose your own clergyman, music, scripture and the kind of service, down to the smallest detail. Inner Security It is a weight off your mind, knowing that your arrangements are complete, and the costs will not be a burden to your family. 1 invite you to visit or call about pre-planning your funeral ser­ vice. There are no costs or obligations, and you don’t even have to pre-pay your funeral to have your wishes made known.

Has the NFL strike got you down and you can’t find a thing to talk about on Sunday and you’re climbing the walls? “Well, hey Bunky,’’ the Mid­ dleville Youth football program has just what you need! All you have to do is get your crackers down to the field on Saturday and watch some of the most exciting football you have ever seen. Last Saturday we had three teams playing in Caledonia and one in Lowell. The Middleville Trojans opened the day at Lowell in a Class B con­ test with the Lowell Raiders that didn’t favor the Trojans, giving them their first loss of the season and a record of 1-1. In Caledonia, the day started with the Class C Middleville Trojans scratching out another victory over the Caledonia Killers giving them a sporting record of 2-1. In the second game, the Middleville Midget Bears took the field against the Caledonia Vikings and held on to their hopes of being league champs as they won a big one to boost their record to 3-0. In the last game, the Class C Caledonia Gold Crush had a crushing effect on the Middleville Raiders as the Raiders were kept away from the goal line all day, giving them a record of 1-2 half way through the season.

East of Whitneyville Eye coordination is the ability of the eyes to work efficiently together to see as one. There are many causes of poor eye coordination, but most cases are the result of improperly learned eye muscle control. This affects vision in that the person subcon­ sciously exerts extra muscular effort to force the eyes to properly see as one. This compensation usually reduces performance. In more sever cases poor eye coordination can cause double vision. The brain compensates for seeing double by ignoring what is seen by one eye. which results in a condition known as lazy eye or amblyopia. Symptoms of poor eye coordination include double vision, headaches, dizziness, eye fatigue, irritability and difficulty in reading and concentrating. Especially apparent signs in children in­ clude tiring easily, skipping lines, covering one eye when reading or not performing up to their poten­ tial. Treatment of poor eye coordination varies. A program of vision therapy, or specially prescribed visual tasks which are repeated under controlled conditions, can often remedy the problem. Sometimes corrective lenses are needed to help the condition. In any case, early diagnosis and treat­ ment are needed for optimum success.

Pre-Schoolers Visit Farm The Monday-Wednesday classes of the Caledonia Parent Cooperative Preschool visited the “Cal-EView Farms” located on Cherry Valley Road. As tour guide, Mr. Wayne Rodgers described life at the dairy farm. The children saw farm equipment, the pump house, the holding tank, the milking parlor, calves, cows and various types of feed. To everyone’s delight, many of the children tried “milking.” The boys and girls also enjoyed a slide program about farming and food. iiATrVUESDAY VOTE nov 2 1 > 1982 4 Residents of — Yankee Springs and Thornapple Townships Elect /Re-elect JIM GORDON 4 County Commissioner, District 2 Democrat James K. Gordon, a second term county commissioner from Middleville who represents Thomapple Township, will seek the District 2 seat which the new appor­ tionment plan outlines as both Thornapple and Yankee Springs Townships. Gordon was first elected to the county board of commissioners in 1978 by a narrow 50-vote margin, but ran unopposed for the seat in 1980. He had previously served on the Thor­ napple Township Planning Commission and. later, as a trustee on the Middleville Village Council. In announcing his decision to seek a third term, Gordon said. “The challenges now facing local governments, gives me strong incentive to continue to serve at the county level. The “new federalism, as it may evolve, will certainly impact in two areas. “First, it appears there will be an em­ phasis for more critical decisions at local levels of government, with citizens required to examine the various services they need and want and forced to deter­ mine the methods and sources for financing these services. ‘ he said. Secondly. Gordon continued, there will be a greater responsibility placed on local and appointed officials to carry out programs and services effectively and ef ficiently. "More and more, local officials will be visible to their constituents, as the impact of services are brought home. As the "new federalism concepts place responsibility at the local level, it will no longer be an easy out to fix all blame on the state and national level .'or oi' economic problems Rather, we will be in­ creasingly responsible for governmental political-fiscal-social destinies locally,” he said. With the possibility of greater local responsibility, Gordon says the words “ac­ countability and capability may well be the watch-words for voters and officials under the challenges of the evolving new federalism.” He also notes that overall management of county government is no small task, em­ bracing a large number of services, a basic budget of $4 million and a central staff of more than 165 persons. Gordon states that “experienced, dedicated and positive-thinking persons” are required to have an effective, efficient and responsible county government.” “The progressive members of the beard of commissioners havr made important ad­ vances for the good operation and management of our county government services; building, as they have, on similar good work that went on before. It is of great personal concern to me that the new board continue this progressive attitude. I wish very much to be a part of that process.” Gordon said. He has served as finance chairman in each of his four years on the county board. His duties also have included serving as the chairman of the Barry Eaton District Health Board, chairman of the county development committee, secretary to the county Economic Development Cor­ poration. and chairman of the Southcentral Michigan Planning Council. Gordon, who resides at 704 W. Main Street, is a 1960 graduate of Tbornapple Kellogg High Scool and a 1965 graduate of Drake University. He attended Drake University Law School and the Detroit touege L-* His vocalions have eluded teaching, real estate From left, Chrissie Hypnar, Mark Roosien and Brian Osterhaven pet a newborn calf (afternoon class).

So often that U.S. cheese consumption has more than doubled since 1960, according to the U.S. Dept, of Agriculture. Per capita consumption of cheese in the U.S. has increased to 17.6 pounds in 1980, the most recent year for which statistics are available. That mAy sound like a lot of cheese, but the Fren­ ch consume almost twice as much - 32 pounds of cheese per person each year. The Dutch are next with 22 pounds. Cheese has been around for thousands of years. From the first shepherd who accidentally invented cheese to the most modern cheese factory, cheese making involves separating the cheese curds from the whey (liquid by-product). Most cheses in this country are made from whole cow’s milk. But both milk and cream are used for some types of cheese. For other types, skim milk, whey or mixtures of these are used. The distinctive flavor, body and texture of the various cheeses are determined by the kind of milk used, the methods used for coagulating the milk, the type of culture, salting and ripening conditions. Many stores are participating in a special fall cheese promotion, so now is a good time to try cheeses that are new to you. There are 18 basic t of natural cheeses, reflec- ting the different processes by which they are made. These include brick. Camembert, Cheddar, cottage, cream, Edam. Gouda, hand. Limburger, Neufchatel, Parmesan. Provolone, Romano, Roquewfort, sap­ sago, Swiss, Trappist and whey cheeses. The classification is extended to include processed cheeses, which are essentially melted or blended forms of the above natural cheeses. It takes 10 pounds of milk — almost 5 quarts — to make one pound of hard or semi-hard cheese. Cheese is a good value in that it contains many of milk’s most important nutrients in concentrated form. The cheese sold in the largest volume today is pasteurized process cheese. It costs less per pound than aged hard cheeses, has a mild flavor, and comes in convenient forms, such as slices. Process cheese contains less cheese and protein but more water than a natural cheese of the same variety. Pasteurized process cheese food is made like process cheese, but it contains less cheese and protein but more water than process cheese. Pasteurized process cheese spread has the lowest standard of all the process cheese products, con­ taining even less cheese and protein but more water than cheese food. Shoppers have even less cheesy choices now that imitation cheese is being marketed. Fake cheeses were initially introduced to most consumers by frozen pizza makers. Imitation mozzarella now has captured a third of that market. Imitation cheeses are less costly than real cheese because they are made from lower cost, mostly non­ dairy ingredients. Fake cheeses can almost always be detected when eaten independently. It is harder to distinguish them in the presence of highly flavored pizza toppings. Shoppers must read the list of ingredients on the pizza package to know if imitation cheese is present. The use of fake cheese does not have to be declared elsewhere on the label. Synthetic cheeses grabbed at least 4 percent of the 14.5 billion U.S cheese market in 1980. Analysists predict imitations will have 15 percent of the cheese market by 1985, and 50 percent by the year 2000.

OCTOBER 21, MRU MiddJeriD* Sas and Caledonia News. Middleville. Michigan PAGE EIGHT /"A I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 1st quarter like last Friday. I think we set a record for the most tur­ novers in one quarter, and when is the last time you can remember seeing someone intercept three passes in one quarter like Rob Pickard did. Everyone who touched the ball for us fumbled. We had eight turnovers in the game and Caledonia had six. Again I didn’t think our defense did that bad of a job. The offensive, on turnovers, really gave up two of the three touchdowns. We outgained the Fighting Scots and had more 1st downs, but the only thing that really counts is the final score. The season gets long at this time of year when you are not winning, so we have our work really cut out for us. Comstock Park is the supreme team of the league this year and are now tied for 1 st place. They have a good quarterback and outstanding pass rush so we will have our hands full. Sure hope we can get back on the right track and win this one. TK Gals Finish Fifth In Regional Tennis Tournament The TK Girls Tennis team finished 5th in their region last Friday at Calvin Christian.

Sara Schondelmayer and Kristy Miner lost to South Christian 3-6, 4-6. Kathy Miner and Karyn Elies took a win from Kelloggsville and then played the top team in the tournament. South Christian defeated Kathy and Karyn in a well played match 4-6, 6-7. Ginger Cook and Julie Bussema defeated Kelloggsville 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, then lost to Calvin Christian 2-6, 0-6. Next week we will have a complete rundown on the entire season. Most valuable and most improved players will be announced at that time. All con­ ference selections will also be announced next week. ROBB PICKARD (85) didn’t catch this pass, but he did pick off three Scot passes for interceptions in the first quarter The scoreboard tells it all in the second quarter just before Middleville scored c Photos Scots Sink Trojans, 21-8 by Jim T. Verlinde. The Fighting Scots of Caledonia dumped the rival Trojans of Middleville last Friday in a contest of sloppy offense and inconsistent defense. The 21-8 decision moved Caledonia’s OK Blue record to 3-2, while sinking the Trojans to 1-4. The first few minutes saw TK safety Robb Pickard collect three interceptions on three con­ secutive Scot possessions. But Middleville couldn’t hold onto the ball, fumbling all three times and allowing the Purple and Gold to take over deep in Trojan territory. Caledonia immediately took ad­ vantage of the worn-down TK defense, pounding the ball down the field and scoring on a one yard plunge by quarterback Ron Schultz. The extra-point kick by Brad Harrison made the score 7-0. Both teams proceeded to play give-away until the second quarter when Scot back Rob Koehl pranced in on a 73 yard breakaway run. The extra point at­ tempt failed. Caledonia picked up their final TD just minutes later when defensive tackle Chad Creasy picked up a Trojan fumble and sprinted 53 yards for the sixpointer. The two point conversion succeeded when Middleville knocked down Ron Schultz’ pass, only to have it bounce off an official and into the hands of Brad Harrison. The Trojans refused to fold, however, as they pushed the ball down the field just before halftime, scoring their lone touchdown on a one-yard lunge by Dave VanSickle. Tony Doombos caught in the con­ version pass for the final points of the half and of the game. Neither team could break the ice in the second half as the game ended 21-8. Turnovers became a major factor in the com­ plexion of the game with the Orange and Black giving up three interceptions and losing four of five fumbles, while the Fighting Scots tossed five inter­ ceptions. Schultz completed five of his 17 pass attempts for 45 yards as Harrison received three for 31. Koehl did the majority of the Scots* hauling of the ball, carrying 17 times for 116 yards. Quarterback Jim Schipper led Thornapple Kellogg to its 250 offensive yards by connecting on 13 of 31 passes for 147 yards. Dave VanSickle grab­ bed in four of these for 56 yards. In the rushing department, VanSickle carried the pigskin 34 yards on 11 carries while Scott Kaminski ran 37 yards on eight totes. Tomorrow the Trojans host Comstock Park for Band Night and Caledonia hosts Hamilton on Parents’ Night. Middleville Cross Country by Amber Steeby The Trojan Cross Country team lost to Lee 25-32.

CALEDONIA scored on this one yard plunge Middleville, Caledonia Junior Varsities Struggle to 6-6 Tie The Thomapple Kellogg Trojan Junior Varsity tied the Caledonia Fighting Scots in a hard fought defensive battle 6-6 last Thursday night. It marks the first time this season the JVs have not won. Caledonia scored first on a 14 yard pass from Collins to Northhouse. The extra point was no good. Mid­ dleville then scored on a 5 yard run by Rob Anders early in the second quarter which capped a 47-yard drive. The extra point conversion was no good. In the rushing department, Anders gained 59 yards on 17 carries and Mike Wiley gained 35. Defensively, Tim Browne, defensive halfback, and Mike Wiley, linebacker, played fine games. Game statistics showed the Scots leading with 154 yards gained to TKs 126. Both Applegate and Gary' Crosby made key interceptions and Wanzer recovered a fumble. In the hard contested game, Scots Flynn. Graham, McCarty, Barber, Wanzer and Northouse did exceptional defense on tackling and assists. Coaches observed that the offensive Scot line (Barber, Yonker, Tolan, Graham, Bud Poll and Chip Hess) was much improved. Thursday the Trojan JVs look to win their 6th game when they travel to Comstock Park. The Scots look with confidence toward their game at Hamilton. �PAGE NINE MkkBeMli* 8«a and Caledonia News, Middleville, Michigan Caledonia Runners Post 10th Dual Win Mark Bill Mark Ladousier and Bill Schumacher ran their best races of the 1982 season against Comstock Park.

The fourth quarter was fairly even with the substitutes keeping up the excellent defense and hustle. The game was the best the Trojans have played this year.

WHAT IS 20/20 VISION? 20/20 means standard visual acuity (clarity or sharpness of vision.) Specifically, it means that a person can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. When vision is blurred and ob­ jects or letters must be larger than normal to be identified at 20 feet, the bottom number is higher, for example • 20/50. It is important to understand that good vision consists of many visual skills. Visual acuity, is only one of these. Other important skills include side vision, focusing ability, eye muscle action, eye coor­ dination, depth perception and other visual capabilities. 20/20 alone does not guarantee that eyes are fun­ ctioning properly or comfortably. Also, it does not guarantee that the eyes are healthy and free of disease. In a complete examination, your op­ tometrist may discover a vision condition needing correction that does not actually affect the clarity of vision. In most cases, eyeglasses, contact lenses and/or vision therapy can improve subnormal vision to 20/20. CHECK OUT THE “NEW LOOK” ON THE CLASSIFIED PAGE - THEN CALL IN YOUR AD. ONLY 10c PER WORD.

The county would receive 5.87 mills, townships 1.5 mills (they now receive 1 mill) and the county, schools and townships. The proposal, put on the ballot by the County schools 8 mills. The intermediate school district Commissioners, would also increase the 15 mill would be fixed at. 13 mills. Another way of looking at the proposal would be limitation by one half mill, giving it to the local that it would increase property taxes by one half townships.

Polling precincts will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., or until all those in line have voted. Voter registration cards have been sent to all Thornapple Township electors, according to Clerk Donna Kenyon. She reports that if someone who is registered did not receive a card, they should notify the clerk. Some addresses may not be correct, she said. The cards indicate the precinct in which a voter is registered, and also the congressional, state senate, state representative and county commissioner districts Because of the length of the ballot, clerks are irging voters to jot down beforehand on a separate lilt who they want to vote for and how they wish to rote on the propositions. "If voters take the time to -ead all the proposals in the voting booth, we ll still □e voting at midnight, " commented one local clerk. A twenty-nine year old Middleville man has con­ fessed to 17 break-ins of local business places, after he was apprehended by police officers early Monday morning. The suspect, Jimmy Chester Vaughn. 414 Railroad Street, was seen about 4:40 a.m. near the rear of Bradford-White’s office building in down­ town Middleville. Police officers Boyd Cain, Mike Leedy and Mark Marine had spent the night keeping a number of business places under surveillance, and when Vaughn was spotted, he was apprehended. Although he was found in possession of burglary tools, he at first denied trying to break into White’s. Because he was on parole from Jackson prison, he was arrested for parole violation and taken to the Barry County lockup. At first Vaughn refused to talk with officers, but after talking with his parole officer, he outlined breaking into 17 business places in Middleville, some of them more than once, since his release from prison in July. Although some of the money was hidden by Vaughn, it has not yet been recovered, said officer Leedy. Because of where it was placed, it may never be found, although the local police were planning to ask for assistance from the State Police in its recovery. It has been a trying two months for the local policemen. They have been working odd hours and long hours in an effort to apprehend the person responsible for the burglaries. "During this time we have had the cooperation of several businessmen and we want to thank them for their help," said Leedy. He singled out Verlinde Chevrolet-Buick, Central Garage, State Farm Insurance, Mutt and Jeff’s, Kevin’s Drive-in and Dee’s Standard. Over the past two months, police officers reported that the suspect admitted to breaking and entering the Middle Villa, Dr. Tom Anderson’s office, The Middle Mart (twice), Attorney Jim Fisher and Larry Ainslie’s office, Dr. Douglas Shumway’s office, Cappon’s Quick Mart, Bender’s Service Station, State Farm Insurance office. Mutt and Jeff’s Ceramics, Baby Bliss offices (2), Thornapple Floral (twice), Shear Pleasure Beauty Salon, The Sun and News and Central Garage. In addition to entering these places, Vaughn said he attempted to enter Crystal Flash and Phil’s Pizzeria, and was unable to get in. Set Open House At E.B.I. Facilities E.B.I.

Chariot- School Kids to Parade Friday in Downtown Middleville Won’t You Join Us? ... for our First Annual All-Elementary Halloween Downtown Parade? If you want a special treat this Friday, look what Middleville Schools has in store for you. 798 elementary kids — in costume — led by the middle school band — in costume — will be parading right down the middle of Main Street from McFall Elementary to the park. Now, if that isn’t enough, add to this Halloween recipe a dash of clown - riding in a small car; a pinch of police cars, a brace of mules, the Lions Club trolley, and wagons drawn by horses. Finally, flavor it all with the red of a fire truck, black and orange of decorated bikes. Sounds good doesn’t it? Plan to come and see the Halloween Parade this Friday starting at 1:15 p.m. It’s the elementary students' "treat” to the citizens of Middleville. THE THORN APPLE KELLOGG SCHOOL combined marching bands from the high school and middle school entertained the football fam at halt time last Friday night at Robert White Field The bands, under the direction of Tom Nash, received a standing ovation for their program. C. Scon Photo �PM*TWO S«u> and C<l«doai« New*. Middleville. Michigan THURSDAY. OCTOBER 21,198L FROM KENT COUNTY EXTENSION EDITORIAL Separating the Good Guys & Bad Guys NEXT THURSDAY it will be your turn to respond to the candidates in this year's off-year elec­ tion. Up until now, all the "flow" has been from "them ” to "us. ’* We have seen quite a few elections in the past, but it does seem that this one has had more than its share of "mud." Why is it candidates need to tear into each other with such viciousness? Do we, as voters, really respond to a negative campaign? We think the whole tenor of some of the TV commercials and newspaper ads have been less than becoming to the candidates who paid for them. Also before the votors will be various proposals, most of which should never have been put up in the first place. These proposals deserve careful study. We really wonder if the average voter takes the time to inform himself adequately on these propositions . . . or do we just vote one way or another because some group or individual endorses the issue or op­ poses it. We have always felt that legislation by referendum can be a dangerous way of making laws. We don’t always get what we want! Picking a candidate is a risky business. We find ourselves liking some things about one candidate and finding other things to admire in his opponent. Maybe that is the way it should be; then no matter who is elected we can work with the successful office holder. Too often, it seems, we make such a com­ mitment to one particular candidate (or party/ that we risk not being able to communicate with the guy who wins if he wasn't "our" man Keep in mind one thing as you vote: The people who run for public of­ fice are still citizens of this country and they truly do want the system to work. Our real fear would be if we began to elect the far right or extreme left can­ didates. These people are very narrow in their thinking and never seem to contribute much to self government outside their tunnel view. As we said, the day of decision will be here Tuesday; none too soon for most of us! Sunshine Club Meets On October 6,1982, the Irving Sunshine Club met at Linda Palmer's for an afternoon meeting. Twelve members and one child were present. A lot of business matters were discussed but not much han­ dwork. Members are reminded to get their quilt blocks done for the November meeting. The November 3, 1982 meeting will be held at Linda Palmer’s home at 12:30 p.m. Evelyn LaBin, Secretary-Treasurer Hobbies Contest to be Held at TK Middle School An exciting time of year for TK Middle School students is about to begin.

The Diamond Jubilee Scholar­ ship is given annually to a senior at Thomapple Kellogg High School. The recipient of the 1982 scholarship is David Ledbetter. Apologies are given to the community for the fact that LUIGI BAGALONI, world famous spaghetti sauce gourmet and chef, failed to arrive in Middleville to help in preparing the sauce for the dinner. After signing autographs for a half hour at Kent County International Airport, Luigi caught a ride to Dutton where he planned to take a ride on the K B & E to Middleville. Luigi caught the train but it ended its journey in Caledonia where Luigi was stranded. After walking to downtown Caledonia where he receive direc­ tions to Middleville, Luigi stopped at a local joint to fortify himself against the cold. Your reporter found Luigi at 3 a.m. Saturday mor­ ning walking down the railroad tracks just west of Irving. Some wag in Caledonia had drawn him a map on which Middleville was placed south of Irving. Luigi, true-to-the-core, was still trying to find our fair village. Luigi is now on his way back to Italy. He did, however, promise to come to Middleville next year.

It’s the time of year that many people change the oil in their autos in preparation for winter. In Michigan, an estimated fifteen million gallons of used oil are dumped — down sewers, in empty lots, in holes in the ground, on weeds and landfills. This wastes a valuable energy resource and pollutes both land and water. The oceans and Great Lakes have long suffered the effects of oil pollution. Much of this pollution today is the result of crankcase and other machine oils dumped in sewers and washed out to open water. This type of pollution is far more significant than offshore drilling or tanker spills. Used oil can be re-refined. Contrary to popular opinion, re-refined oil is as good a lubricant, if not better, than new oil. Many large fleets collect, re­ refine and re-use their oil over and over again. In ad­ dition, utilities and industry use it to supplement other fuels and also to manufacture other petroleum-based products. In Kent County, over 35,000 gallons of used oil was collected at participating service stations. It is projected that nearly 75,000 gallons of used oil will be collected during 1982. A small effort by you can make the difference. Show that you care about our quality of life. Recycle your oil when you change it yourself. Here’s how. It's easy to do. Drain your oil into a reusable container. Lots of things will work well — a gallon milk container or cider jug. Just make sure it has a cap on it so the oil won’t spill. Keep the container stabilized when you transport it to your participating service station. One way is to put the container in a box and stuff newspapers around it. Many service stations and other businesses in Kent County have agreed to help you save energy and preserve the environment by letting you deposit your oil there. They've been recycling their oil for years and think this program is a good idea. To find out the participating stations in your area, contact the Kent County Cooperative Extension Service at 774-3265 or the West Michigan Environmental Ac­ tion Council at 451-3051. Kent County Cooperative Extension service is an educational unit of Michigan State University. Kent County Extension offers up-to-date information and educational programs in Agriculture, Horticulture, 4-’h, Family Living, Homemaker Clubs, Nutrition, Energy, Natural Resources and Public Policy.

Michigan —PAGE THREE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28. 1982 Recycling in Barry Co, to Hold Open House in Middleville - -- A The organization Recycling in Barry County will be celebrating the completion of their Middleville recycling site with a grand opening this Saturday, October 30. from noon to three o'clock. The site is at George Sinen’s Middle Mart Party Store on M-37, directly behind the building RIBC founders, Darlene Paulauski, Shirley Wietnik and Jackie Schmitz, will be at the opening to discuss recycling, and brochures explaining how to prepare materials will be available. This is the second site RIBC (pronounced Rib-ik) established this year. The first site, at Cairns’ Caledonia Foods on M-37, has been operating since spring. It was set up with help from Recycle Unlimited of Kent and Ottawa Counties and other recycling volunteers. It is operated by Recycle Unlimited and maintained by RIBC and Caledonia residents. The Middleville site was set up entirely by RIBC and will be maintained by them. Operation of the site will involve both RIBC members and a local trucking service. The recycling site was obtained through the effor­ ts of one of the three founders, Jackie Schmitz. Ms. Schmitz lives in Middleville and has been recycling for the past six years. She, along with Darlene Paulauski and Shirley Wietnik, worked on the oil recycling program in 1981. This program was run by the Barry County Extension Office in cooperation with the West Michigan Environmental Action Council. Its purpose was to see that the public had places to bring their used oil. Facilities already recycling their own used oil were asked to accept used oil from the public. The program was very suc­ cessful, and the three women decided to pursue other recycling endeavors. Thus, in January of this year, RIBC was formed. Their goals include en­ couraging recycling, helping to set up recycling sites and educating the public about the benefits of recycling. The Middleville recycling site consists of a huge steel bin for clear, green and brown glass, and a fen­ ced area containing ten 55-gallon barrels for the deposit of tin cans and aluminum. Regrettably. RIBC cannot accept plastic milk jugs, newspaper or brown bags at this time. However, these materials may be brought to the Caledonia site. All materials must be prepared properly before recycling. Only materials which have contained foods (liquid or solid) may be recycled, with the exception of newspapers and paper bags. The glass bin has separate sections for clear, green and brown glass. These sections are clearly marked on the doors of the bin. and the glass must be separated by the recycler before being deposited into the proper color section. All glass must be washed, and caps, lids, metal rings or neck bands, etc., must be removed. Labels do not have to be removed. Glass containing foreign materials cannot be recycled, nor can window glass or light bulbs. Depositing contaminated materials into the bin will ruin the entire batch. The fenced area containing the barrels is adjacent to the glass bin. The barrels are for the deposit of tin cans and aluminum (foil, pie plates, etc.) These Hattewn Import* from Holland USE SUN AND NEWS CLASSIFIEDS! PTulip Bulbs 79c per bag M * - 1 - ---------* _1 t 1 * materials must also t_be washed, and labels must be removed. Lids from cans are recyclable as well, and by removing the bottom, the can is easily flattened by stepping on its side. Some cans have bottoms which cannot be removed (e.g. tuna fish cans), but are still recyclable. Aluminum is easily crumpled, and the compacted metals save space in the barrels. Metals do not have to be separated before being deposited into the barrels. The steel bin was brought to the site by ownei Bob Henry of R.E. Henry Trucking Service of Mid dleville. Mr. Henry is on the Barry County Solid Waste Planning Committee and has helped RIBC’s efforts tremendously. Besides Summit Steel, his is the only other firm listed under * Recycling Cen­ ters” in the Hastings area Yellow Pages. Mr. Henry not only agreed to let RIBC use the bin, but will haul it when it is full. Mr. Henry also donated paint for the bin. David Schmitz, Ade Penninga and Dann Tobin, all of Middleville, ground rust from the bin and helped paint it. They later worked on the fence. Darlene Paulauski, Jackie Schmitz and Shirley Wietnik worked on painting the bin and building and painting the fence. Paint for the fence was donated by store owner George Sinen. Lorraine and David Otto of Otto Turkey Farm donated wood for the fence. The Ottos cut the wood from downed trees on their farm, using their own saw mill. Don Boysen of the Middleville Sun and News printed RIBC’s brochures. RIBC’s logo, a frog, was designed by Storm Matousek, and the sign at the recycling site was done by Tim Grandy. RIBC member Ivan Winters will be transporting the metal to Grand Rapids. Recycling in Barry County attributes their suc­ cess to the people mentioned above, and the cooperation of many area business people, residents, and dedicated volunteers. RIBC receives no funds from the county or anyone else. They are strictly a non-profit organization. It is hoped that RIBC will be as successful in Hastings and other parts of the county.

IT MIGHT BE WORTH THE FALL FERTILIZER TIME Caledonia Farmers Elevator Offers a new service of custom application of Dry Fertilizer & Lime The 1982 bumper crop of 8.3 billion bushels of corn will surpass last year’s generous crop. Prices being offered to American farmers for this com are so low that many of them are storing it, hoping prices will increase enough at least to cover their costs. The average urban dweller probably thinks. “So what, who needs corn?” We all do. The corn under discussion is dent (field) com — not sweet com. Field com is literally the staff of life for the New World. It's the single most important food plant in the Americas and the largest crop harvested in the United States. Remove com from your way of life and you would have to change that life substan­ tially. You rely on a com product each time you drink from a paper cup, read a magazine, mail a letter, walk across a carpet, dine on a steak, drink a beer, eat bread or candy, chew gum, light a match or take an aspirin. Com products are in paints, soaps, cosmetics, dry batteries and dynamite. They are used in drilling for oil, manufacturing tires, molding plastics, and in many more processes and products. Of the approximately 12,000 items lining the shelves of a modem supermarket, 1,160 have some derivation of com as an ingredient, according to a new survey by the Com Refiners Association, Inc. Like to start the day with bacon or smoked sausage links? They contain com syrup. The eggs may be fried in com oil, while the English muffin is rolled in com meal and spread with com oil margerine. You may even want to spread on some com-sweetened jelly. Flavored instant coffee, cocoa and cocoa mixes all contain com sweeteners. Similar com derivatives could easily be found in lunch or dinner menus. As a result of the dramatic growth in the use of com wet-milled products during the past 20 years, it’s hard to get through a meal without a taste of the golden grain. Since the association’s 1962 survey, when the average supermarket had 200 com-supported selec­ tions, there has been a 480 percent increase. Wet­ milling of com is a major factor in the phenomenal growth of com products. As of November, 1981, 26 com wet-milling plants were operating in the United States. Seventeen of them have been built since 1960. Wet-milled com can be used in the five major com product categories: starches, com syrups, dex­ trose, high fructose com syrup (MFCS), and com by-products such as com gluten feed, meal and com oil. Some processors are adding a sixth product — ethanol. Formulations of com products are varied and numerous. By blending syrups or modifying star­ ches, com refiners can satisfy hundreds of needs in food processing, from moisture and crystal control to adding body, improving color and changing the texture. The newest high volume com product is HFCS, the sweetest of all com syrups. Since its introduc­ tion in 1967, the annual per capita use of this ver­ satile product has risen from one-tenth of a pound to 23.1 pounds by the end of 1981. Soft drink manufac­ turers are one of the chief users of HFCS. All com sweeteners (glucose, com syrup and dex­ trose, but mostly HFCS) now account for about onethird of the total domestic sugar sweetener use. Forecasters say that figure could rise to 43 percent by 1985, largely because of an anticipated increase in HFCS use. It costs only half as much to make HFCS from com as it takes to make sugar from cane or beets. ★ Avoid compacted wet soil in Spring ★ Allow more time in Spring to put in crops ★ P and K are held in medium to heavy texture soil ★ Fall prices are generally less than Spring * CALL US NOW TO ARRANGE FOR YOURS* CALEDONIA FARMERS ELEVATOR FERTILIZER OFFICE; FRANK VINING 891 1033 ♦ MAIN OFFICEl BUD SMITH 891 8108 be WISE, let us be your full SERUICE bank When you come in as a customer, you become our friend.

The victory moved the Trojans’ league record to 2-4 while dropping the Panthers out of first place with a 4-2 record. Middleville's performance early in the first quar­ ter hinted to past games as the TK defense allowed Comstock Park to drive the ball and then break away for a 31 yard TD spring. But the Orange and Black quickly metamorphosed, returning the favor twice on runs by Scott Kaminski and Jim Schipper. Both conversion attempts failed and the first quar­ ter ended 12-6. The Panthers tied the contest in the second stan­ za when they added six to their score on a 70-yard run, but failed to take the lead as the Trojans blocked the extra-point kick.

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

CP Beats Eighth Graders The TK Eighth Grade Trojans were defeated by a strong and undefeated Comstock Park Team 33-17 on October 19. The voting Trojans never really recovered from the shock of trailing early in the first quarter 16-2. The Trojans did trim the Comstock Park lead to 22-14 at halftime. Through the third and fourth quarters the Trojans were never able to gain much ground on the Panthers. The loss evened the Trojan record at 4-4. Scoring for the Trojans were Kim Koetsier 6, Trena Yonkers and Missy Rounds 4 each and Diana London 3. 8th Graders End Season With Win The Eighth Grade girls basketball team defeated Byron Center 25-16 to end their regular season on October 22. The win brings the Trojans record to 5-4. The young Trojans played well and were quick to take advantage of a bigger but slower Byron Center team by jumping to an 8-2 first quarter lead. The Trojans continued to increase the lead during the second quarter and took a commanding 13-4 halftime lead. The Trojans shot well and rebounded well against the bigger team. They played even with Byron Center during the third and fourth quarters. leading the scoring for the Trojans were Yonkers with 11 points. Denise VanDuine 8, Deb Ploeg 4 and Kim Koetsier 2. 7th Graders Continue to Roll The TK Seventh Grade basketball team extended their winning streak to 8 games as they defeated Com­ stock Park 39-16. Once again the Trojan starters came out smoking as they jumped on the Panthers for a 17-1 first quarter lead. For the most part the game was over and everyone played in the following 3 quarters. So far in 8 games this season, the starters have out­ scored their opponents in the first quarter 98-12. Shelly Gray, Beth Steeby are starting guards. Missy Moretti is starting center and Jenni Frey and Heather Hannapel are starting forwards.

Tough Battle, But Win in Overtime On October 22, the TK Seventh grade basketball team withstood their toughest test of the season from Byron Center. The Trojans finally won the game 21-17 in overtime. For the first time this season, the Trojans found themselves behind in the first quarter. Byron Center lead 8-7. It was quite a shock to all involved. A last second basket by Beth Steeby gave the Trojans a 13-10 advantage. The 3rd quarter went by with Byron Center scoring the only point and the Trojans led 13-11. With the Trojans holding a somewhat comfortable 4 point lead at 15-11 and less than 3 minutes left, the Bulldogs forced 2 turnovers and converted them to baskets to knot the score at 15. This set the stage for some in­ dividual heroics for both sides. With 30 seconds left Heather Hannapel made a basket to put the Trojans up 2 points. Byron Center was not to be denied as they scored a desperation shot with 6 seconds left to send the game into overtime. In the overtime, guard Shelly Gray stepped to the free throw line with 1:30 left and sank both ends of a 1 and 1 which proved to be the difference. Jenni Frey ad­ ded an insurance basket with 6 seconds left and the Trojans escaped the upset. Scoring:Hannapel 7, Steeby and Moretti 4, Gray 6, Frey 2.

The 1982 tennis team completed another successful season, finishing 2nd in the conference. The Trojans were led by cocaptains Darcy Wingeier and Ranee Hooper. The Trojans finished with a 5-7 record overall and were 5-3 in the conference. They also played some great tennis in the conference match which clinched the runnerup spot overall in the conference. Darcy Wingeier played 1st singles for the second year in a row. Darcy is our best player and showed some good signs late in the year of becoming a much improved tennis player. Darcy lost some very dose matches while picking up 4 wins for the Trojans, in­ cluding a 2 point win in the conference match. Darcy was a unanimous choice by the coaches to the 1st team AH Conference squad. We will be expecting a great deal of leadership from Darcy next fall Ranee Hooper played 2nd singles for us this year. Ranee won the 3rd singles flight last year, and followed that up with a win at 2nd singles this year. Ranee had the best conference record on the team at 8-2. She played much of the season with a pulled muscle but was ready when the conference title was on the line. Ranee was also a unanimous All Conference selection this year. She was also selected by her teammates as this Caledonia Junior Varsity Ties in Defensive Battle The Caledonia JV Football team tied Hamilton in an outstanding defensive battle last week. Although Caledonia held the leading score throughout the ball game, both teams were held near the goal line from additional TDs. With almost two minutes of clock time remaining, the Hawkeyes viewed the Fighting Scot goal from the 12 yard line. The last 4 downs were made on the Caledonia 2 yard line, which not only held firm, but slammed the Hawkeyes for a 4 yard loss on the last play. Kent Poll celebrated his recent birthday with 2 touchdown passes from Collins and a fumble recovery. Gary Crosby celebrated his birthday with an important fumble recovery. The Hawkeye coaches complimented the Caledonia team for excellence on defense - especially linebacker Ryan Flynn, credited with 10 tackles and 17 assists, a fumble recovery and an interception his season best. Applegate also made an intercep­ tion. The defensive line, Barber, Graham, Bud Poll and Northouse, with the linebackers, continue to be im­ pressive. On offense, the Scots recognize the importance of center Chip Hess, the improvement of quarterback Dan Collins, and the fine playing of Scot Schaafsma and Flynn. This week the Scots host the Kelloggsville Rockets, who are expected to be tough, on Thur­ sday.

COMMITTED...CONCERNED...A REPRESENTATIVE WHO WORKS FOR US. PAUL HILLEGONDS STATE REPRESENTATIVE 54TH DISTRICT year's most valuable player Sandy Wierenga played 3rd singles this year after playing 1st doubles last year. It took Sandi some time to adjust to singles, but once she did her opponents learned to give her a great deal of respect. Sandi finished with a record of 88, was selected to the 2nd team all conference squad, and was selected by her coach as the most improved player. Karen Sias played 4th singles and liker Sandi showed a great deal of improvement over the year. Karen finished with a record of 11-7 and finished 3rd in her flight at the conference match. While our doubles teams were young (all sophomores) and inexperienced, we felt that they did an excellent job for us this year. Sara Schondelmayer and Kristy Miner played the 1st Doubles position and were runnersup in the con­ ference match. They also finished with a fine 7-4 record in the conference. Both players are strong candidates for a singles position next year. Both improved a great deal in their shot selection this year and should con­ tinue to improve over the summer. Kathy Miner and Karyn Elies plaved the second doubles position this year. Kathy played some last year but had a knee problem that kept her out some of the season This was Kann s first year of competition. Both players worked well together and that was a big part of their success. They finished in the runnerup position in the conference match, and were 8-3 overall in the conference. These two have great at tit udes and with 2 mere years should be fine tennis players by the time they are done competing in high school. Kathy and Karyn played South Christian in the regional semi­ finals and lost a close match to the top team in the tournament by a 4-6,6-7 score. Julie Bussema and Ginger Cook played the 3rd doubles position this year and won a big match for us against Caledonia which kept us in a tie for second place with Hamilton. If these two continue to work this summer they could make some fine freshmen that an* coming next year really work for their position on the team. With 9 of 10 starters back for next year, we are looking for a better season as far as wins and losses aree concerned. If we improve as much next year as we did this year, it should be a great season. Congratulations to a fine group of tennis players on a job well done.

More things were cut less was offered to the kids than at any time since World War II. Most of these things have been restored, but for the sake of history, we shouldn't forget some of the things that were lacking. (1) The school day was cut to a fivehour day. This means that the students missed 181 hours of education, or the equivalent of 30 days of school. (2) Two administrative positions were cut and with them the services they of­ fered. The Adult Ed program went from 55 equivalencies to 8. (3) Middle School programs were cut - 2 phys ed teachers, 1 shop, 1 Home Economics were cut. (4) High school programs were cut - 1 science, 1 business, Art, Phys Ed, Shop were cut. (5) Elementary programs - 1 phys ed, 1 interest and put pressure on the State, this will not happen. (2) An in-depth study of the curriculum. This is an ever-changing world we live in. We need to be constantly revising our of­ ferings to meet the changing needs. The public cry always is back to the basics. What are the basics? Does the school really fulfill its role if it only offers basics? One area that certainly seems pertinent today is "retraining." Should we be working with the unemployed? Retraining them so they can become contributing members of society? Again, we need the interest of the Community to make these things work One of the most important goals of the School System is better communications with the Community BUT — com­ munications have to be a two-way street. We will try our best to keep you informed about the school - let us hear your concer­ ns about school. Reading were cut. (6) Library - All services in the high school and elementary were cut in half. The Middle School had been cut in previous years. (7) All athletics and activities were cut from the school budget. The Boosters Club funded the whole program. This did have a very positive side effect - it brought the community together. In many ways, that might not have happened otherwise. (8) Services and Custodial staffs were cut. How does the Future Look Problems or situations that should be dealt with — (1) A sound financial base for education. This will require some drastic fiscal reforms on the State level. The day has long since passed when the entire bur­ den of education should fall on the proper­ ty owner.

Steve opposed the Single Business Tax back in 1975 and has voted time and time again to make it fairer. He joined the effort to cut paperwork and streamline the permit process. Steve has pushed for Michigan to use its great universities as a basis for bringing high technology in­ dustries to Michigan. Monsma in Congress In Congress, Steve Monsma will fight to get Michigan's fair share of tax dollars back from Washington. It's a $7 billion dollar drain we cannot afford. Steve will work to reverse the economic policies that have brought us double digit unem­ ployment and $ 150,000,000,000.00 deficits. Steve will work for a farm policy of stable prices and reasonable loan rates. The Sawyer Smokescreen Harold Sawyer is creating a smoke screen on the issue of jobs. His latest flyer takes credit for a senior jobs program that Sawyer later voted to kill. He even claims that cutting unemployment benefits by $ 120 million is a "job creation proposal." Sawyer will spend over $300,000 on his campaign because he needs you to forget about 16% unemployment in Michigan, about 500 businesses failing each week, about farms and small businesses that are just barely holding on. The choice is dear. On November 2nd, eject Steve Monsma, a congressman we can be proud of. Pwd for by Monsma for Congress. 4860 S Drvwon. Grand Rapids.

"Politics Makes Strange Bedfellows" In this election year two Michigan civic leaders are surprised to find themselves involved in an unusual coalition to protect the interests of their constituencies. James Barrett president of the Michigan State Chamber of Commerce, and Stanford D. Arnold, secretary- treasurer of the Michigan State Building and Construction Trades Council are working together with Citizens for Michigan Jobs and Energy to fight Proposal D. D is a con­ troversial initiative, put on the ballot by the Michigan Citizens Lobby, which would eliminate the “automatic’’ fuel adjustment clause on utility bills but. Iiecause of hearing delays, could force utility companies to Ixirrow money in order to continue Stanford I). Arnold operating. Arnold’s primary concern is jobs. Utility companies are the state’s largest single employer of construction workers. “If the MCL initiative is passed, the financing of construc­ tion will be seriously jeopar­ dized,” says Arnold “And if utility construction projects are stopped, thousands of construc­ tion workers will be out of a job. Arnold points out however, that it is not only construction jobs that would be lost if Proposal D passes. “Consider as well the availa­ bility of emergency fuel reserves. If utilities were forced to restrict their fuel supplies to avoid l>or- that it pennits only one rate rowing at today’s interest rates, hearing before the Public Service we could be caught short of fuel Commission per utility at a time. in the event of unexpected That would lx* a cumbersome severe weather.

Both men are backing an­ weeks’.’ Barrett’s concern is for busi­ other ballot proposal Proposal H, ness and industry in Michigan, which they say would “allow and the state’s prospects for utility firms to recover, after economic recovery. But the Commission scrutiny, month-tomonth costs of doing business in a bottom line is still jobs. “Proposal D is dangerous to timely manner, reducing their Michigan’s economic climate need to borrow operating funds because it could have an adverse at unreasonably high interest effect on our employment rates.” They are joined in the CMJE picture,” says Barrett “It also could cripple the long-range coalition by other business, labor and civic groups, plus the capacity of utility' companies to offer reliable energy service at Michigan Farm Bureau and a number of individuals through­ reasonable rates. “It poses a very real threat to out the state. Altogether, it is an unusual the capacity' of utility companies to provide reliable, efficient ser­ coalition of Michiganians fight­ vice to industrial and commercial ing to defeat a proposal that customers As a result prospec­ would mean further economictive business and industrial disaster for the state. energy' users may think twice before saying “yes” to Michigan Paid for by Consumers Power as the location for a new produc­ Company, 212 W Michigan tion plant or commercial facility.” Avenue, Jackson, Ml 49201 Barrett and Arnold agree that the problem with Proposal D is 24-36-227-C �PAGE TWENTY MkkOedBe 8«a nd C«iedoaia New*.

Games for Language Development You can help your child develop language skills through conversation. For the parent, this involves listening to as well as talking with your child. Provide ample opportunities for a child to describe Caledonia Bazaar Christmas Arts & Crafts Saturday, Nov. 6 Games for Motor Control and Memory You can work on motor skills like eye-hand coor­ dination and large and small muscle command. You can also help the child’s visual memory skills with tracing and copying activities and hearing-memory skills with exercises in sequences, stories, and oral directions. Some of these are: -------------- —> 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. swriniT THURSDAY. OCTOBER 28,1982 experiences and feelings. Meal times can be ex­ cellent discussion times. Although most youngsters can ask a million questions about any topic, en­ courage the natural curiosity in your child. Try a few of these language games: New Game: Point out various objects around the bouse or outside while walking or riding in the car and ask the child to name each object. In a more ad­ vanced version, you can describe the object and the child tries to guess what it is. Let the child ask for hints such as: "Is it big? Is it blue? Is it round?” Tell me a Story: Read to your child every day. When a story is finished, ask the youngster to tell the story in his or her own words, using pictures in the storybook as a guide. Or. let your child tell you a story which you write down. Then have the child draw pictures about the story under each picture, giving your child a personal story book.

Rhythmic movements to music — hopping, skipping, jumping, swinging and bending — develop your child’s motor coordination. Clap your hands rhythmically or play an instrument while the child imitates an animal's movement and sounds. You try to guess the animal. Then reverse roles by asking your child to guess what animal you are imitating. Sandbox Play and Blocks: A child develops motor coordination through sandbox play at a public playground or right in his or her own backyard. Make sure your child has a special area just for play. Blocks are another aid in developing eye-hand coor­ dination. Match the Pairs: Board games to help your child develop visual-memory skills by matching identical pairs are on the market. Or you can make your own game simply by cutting out squares or rectangles of the same size and finding pairs of identical pictures in magazines or newspapers to paste on cards. Start with three or four pairs, adding more as your child becomes more proficient. To play the game, arrange the cards face down on the table and take turns with your child in trying to turn up two matching cards. When a pair has been matched, remove the two car­ ds from the pile. See how many pairs the child can find. Rhymes and Songs: Children love rhymes and songs, and these favorites can help the develpment of sound-memory skills. Teach your child songs you learned when you were young. Encourage your child to sing and remember words to songs. Another practical memory exercise is teaching a child his or her address and telephone number. ; YOU and YOUR VISION ^REPUBLICAN! * TEAM * | By Richard J. Choryan, O.D. for the..

More pictures on page 14 Student Photos Cost More at TK Than in Caledonia An inquiry from a reader of the Sun and News, who wrote anonymously, wondered why there is a disparity between the cost of student photos in the TK School District as compared to Caledonia. The writer enclosed two sales promotion sheets from the same National School Studios firm that takes student photos in both school districts. The one from Middleville was higher than the one from Caledonia and on the surface it looked as if the photography studio has two different pricing systems. For example, a package of photos that is popular with parents in both districts sells for >20 in TK and >16 in Caledonia. The Sun and News made inquiries in both distric­ ts and found that Middleville accepts a commission on the sale of photos while Caledonia does not. The photographer receives the same amount for their services in both districts. Until recently Caledonia also received this com­ mission, but decided a number of years ago to stop the practice, according to High School Principal Mike Pintek. In the TK District, according to Superintendent Gerald Page, the commission has CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO �Middleville See and Caledonia New., Middleville.

Michigan Middlevilk Su THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4,1982 MIDDLEVILLE NEWS With MARY JACKSON A large crowd turned out to see the Halloween parade of the TK Elementary students. Nearly 800 children, plus teachers and room mothers, marched in Halloween costumes. The Jr. High Band, some in costume, marched, and younger grades of children rode on the Trolley and on hay wagons. It was a memorable parade which went from the Middle School to Calvin Hill Park. It was a rather quiet Halloween, probably because of the scare of bad ingredients put in food. Some parents just took their children where they thought it would be safe and children were instruc­ ted not to eat candy until they came home and parents could inspect it. Billy and Lisa Rodriguez, young people of Mr. and Mrs. William Rodriguez, had a Halloween party instead of trick or treating. Many others followed this way of celebrating.

Middleville's previous inability to score extra points disappeared as the Trojans succeeded on two of four two-point conversion attempts. Runs by Schipper and VanSickle provided the extra punch. Thornapple Kellogg's Orange Crush defense showed the prowess it’s worked for all season, jum­ ping on five of six Bulldog fumbles, collecting one interception and scoring two points when Scott Noffke and Nathan Briggs tackled a Byron Center ball carrier in his own endzone.

The Rockets held a 9-0 lead at half time with a short TD drive by Fueas and a closing seconds beautiful long field goal.

Hunting Facts •Three of the major causes of hunting accidents are: the victim is out of sight of the shooter, is covered by a shooter swinging on game or is mistaken for game. •Aiming with the dominant eye while both eyes are open is a big help in shotgun shooting. It gives the hunter a wider field of vision. •Loss of ability to focus up close bothers the rifleman as it causes the back sight to blur. A peep sight or a telescopic sight will solve that problem as it eliminates the back sight. •Research indicates that "hunter orange” is the only safe color for hunters under all weather and lighting conditions. Imitations not meeting the ex­ plicit standards of "hunter orange" are dangerous. Moreover, you can be safe without scaring off your target; no animal hunted in America is known to have color vision. •Target glasses which contain yellow lenses are definitely unsuitable for hunting because they inter­ fere with color perceptions. •The hunter bothered by glare should wear quality sunglasses with grey lenses, which offer the least interference with color perception. When hun­ ting* near water, polarizing lenses to reduce the reflected glare from the water are a good choice.

Middleville. Michigan FAGE TWELVE tm EXTENSION SEPVCE Food Buy Lines • Fresh fruit and vegetable prices are trending downward in the November food marketing outlook. Pork prices are outstripping beef prices, while poultry remains an overall good value. Michigan food shoppers can experience a bit of summer a little longer as the bumper crop of fresh apples continues to come to market. Produce buyers say the selection of apple varieties is the largest in the past 20 years. They attribute the renewed popularity and availability of Northern Spies, Cortlands and other older varieties to an increased in­ terest by both growers and shoppers. Other fruits that rate mention during November are cranberries and citrus fruits. Neither is produced in Michigan, but it just wouldn't be November without them. A. U.S. cranberry crop of 2.75 million 100-pound barrels is expected. This will top the earlier record crop of 1980 by 2 percent. In spite of this, look for the majority of fresh cranberries to be packed in 12 ounce, rather than 16-ounce packages. The outlook is good for citrus fruits in California. Florida and Texas. Florida grapefruit are running much larger than usual. Fresh orange prices have been very high, but a large navel crop, which will rival last year s, is predicted. This should ease prices in a few weeks. Many shoppers have undoubtedly taken note of special features on various brands of frozen orange juice concentrate. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s first estimates puts Florida s 1982-83 orange production at 14 percent above last year's. There are bargains in the fresh produce depar­ tment. October prices for all fresh fruits and vegetables, except potatoes, are running 9 percent below prices of a year ago. Potato prices are down 34 percent. Besides large national and state crops of potatoes, large crops of carrots and dry onions are holding produce prices down. Broccoli and cauliflower are selling at seasonal low prices. Low-priced lettuse and a variety of other salad greens will make salads a bargain this month. Green peppers, cucumbers and radishes continue to sell at almost summer prices. Celery is the one item that s "ITS A PERFECTLY SAFE INVESTMENT IF NOTHING GOES WRONG." . up in price. Instead, add fresh mushrooms produced right here in Michigan. Less action is going on at the meat counter as high retail pork prices continue. The reason is that current pork production trails 8 to 10 percent behind that of a year ago. There has been and will continue to be some yo-yo effect on pork prices, but they are generally expected to remain relatively high through mid-1983. Beef and poultry are the meat items most super­ markets will rely on for features. Beef prices are down substantially from a year ago. and it looks as though they will stay down throughout the year, though there will be some temporary increases. A mid-September survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture revealed that beef raisers in the six key beef-producing states had put 22 percent more of their beef on feedlots during August than at the same time last year. This means continued good supplies of beef and lower prices through 1982 for Choice grade. It also means producers had to cut into their herds to get the steers to feed, and that will probably result in higher beef prices next year. imw BAZAAR Nov. 4 & 5 • 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Nov. 6** 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Marge Loew's 203 Grand Rapids St. Middleville, Ml Anyone wishing to sell new items Call Merge at 795-3503 OFFICE SUPPLIES « TYPING SERVICE • PHOTO COPIES GIAR BUSINESS SERVICE NANCY GIAR HOURS/Daily 9a.m.-4p.m. Closed Noon Hours 12 to 1p.m. Closed Saturdays 130 E Main Caledonia.

Michigan After 59 Years Chet Geukes Gets Hole-in-One Chet Geukes of Middleville has been playing golf for 59 years (“I started when I was very young, " claims Chet) and had the thrill of his golfing lifetime last week. Playing the Red Nine at Saskatoon Golf Course, Chet drove off the fourth tee and the ball sailed 145 yards to the cup. One of his playing partners, Jim Hodges, followed the ball and calmly told Chet, “7 think it went in ... or it’s buried under some leaves. ” A walk to the green did indeed reveal that Chet had made the very first hole-in-one he has ever had in 59 years of “practice." “J have come close before (like 6 inches) but this was a first, ” said Chet. Also attesting to the hole-in-one were Chet's other partners of the day, Homer DeWeerd and George Volt. RIBC Recycling Site Now Open TK Elementary Halloween Parade IT WAS MOSTLY proud mothers who waited on Middleville's Mam Street for their ‘ghosts and gob­ lins' from the TK elemen­ tary schools (below).

Channel 13 Eyewitness news was there and later broadcast the grand opening on the 7 and 11 o'clock news. Many attending the grand opening also recycled at the same time. Apple cider donated by the Palmer Cider Mill was served along with cookies made by RIBC founders Darlene Paulauski, Shirley Wietnik and Jackie Schmitz.

The Football Uniform - by "Mom” For 10 long weeks I’ve washed this "suit” and goodness, what a chore! I’ve seen the grass, the blood and dirt, the stains and grime galore. I’ve held it very gingerly, then dropped in in the wash While thinking ,?Next week, wash again, o gee, o no, ogosh!” I’ve opened all the windows as I’ve squirted on the "Shout” I’ve breathed the fumes that clogged my lungs, of that I have no doubt. The fortune on detergent, the time I 've spent -1 shudder; For 10 long weeks I ve washed this "suit ’; you now can call me "Mudder.” But today I washed this uniform perhaps the final time; After all those weeks of drudgery. I failed to see the grime I saw the boy who wore it with such pride and dignity And suddenly, that football "suit” looked beautiful to me. I saw the dedication of my young man to the team; His pride to wear the uniform, to play the game and dream. I felt the tingling of the game, the tumult of the end The heart, the spunk, the cheer and pat of every loyal friend. The character and goodness that this uniform helped And the precious boy who wore it is so special I can glow If I had one wish for certain, the one I would adore Would be to wash this uniform for many years more! by Wanda Woytek.

Wayland gave us all we wanted, but we felt on a dry field we might have been able to move the ball a little better. Outside of the one long play, I felt we controlled the game. The big play was our problem all year. It seemed like we were behind all the time. The play that Wayland scored on was a screen play that we had practiced against all week. We were happy to finish with a winning season. The freshmen wound up 3-6 against some tough competition, and the J Vs were 8-0-1. Congratulations are in order to the coaches and their team. I would like to thank some people who helped to make the season the success it was: Duane Peterson. Pete Bishop, Lyman Kimmey, the chain crew for the Varsity and JV game, all the timers, scorers, ticket takers and people from the Booster Club, the band, cheerleaders, my coaching staff, trainer, manager, and last but not least, my wife.

The young Trojans notched their final record to 8-0-1. In the game at Wayland, Middleville scored first on a quarterback sneak by Mike Newhouse. The score was set up on a blocked punt by Tony Plants (Tony’s 6th fumble recovery of the year). On Way land’y-nnly threat of scoring in the first half, they got the ball first and goal on the three, but were stymied by a tough goal line stand.

Jim Schipper presents a tremendous success story after missing play his junior year. Schipper came on to complete 106 of 214 passes for 1369 yar­ ds and six touchdowns, putting him in third place for career passing as a Trojan. He also carried the ball 101 times, compiling 249 yards. Good passing statistics, however, can only come from a superior receiving corps, and the Trojans without a doubt had the best in the league. Tim Lukas and Tony Doombos finished first and second respectively in the OK Blue in receiving. Lukas collected 591 yards on 43 receptions while Doombos caught in 30 for 296 yards. Thomapple Kellogg sported a balanced rushing attack in the 1982 season. Dave VanSickle led the way with 389 yards, followed by Scott Kaminski with 314 and Tom Berry with 271. Middleville's Orange Crush defense was sparked by this year's Most Valuable Player,' Ed Wilson, who devastated opposing offenses while compiling 128 tackles. Rob Boshears was a distant second with 80, followed by Scott Noffke with 73. In the in­ terception department, Robb Pickard collected five while Scott Duflo picked off three. Defensive end Randy Winchester fell on four opposition fumbles through the season. Most Improved honors went to tackle Jeff Wohlford on offense and Randy Winchester on defense. Despite impressive league statistics, the Trojans managed to place only one player on the All Con­ ference list. Tim Lukas received an All Conference medal while Bill Perry, Ed Wilson and Jim Schipper received honorable mention certificates. Seniors who donned a Trojan helmet for the final time were:Tim Lukas, Brent Cisler, Doug VanDyken, Chris Yonkers, Ed Wilson, Jose Marti, Wes Rosenberg, Bill Perry, Jon DeForest, Tony Doornbos, Phil Teater, Randy Karel, Brian Willshire, Jim Schipper, Jim Verlinde, Dave VanSickle, Rob Boshears. A special thanks to Coach Ray Page, Coach Keith Rhines and the rest of the Trojan staff for giving of their time and energy to make this a wonderful season.

Jane Bryans was the only bright spot as she scored 16 points. Sue Kaechele had 5, Laurie Hooper and Mary Funk both had 4 and Teri Van A man had 2. Down Rockets, 53-39 The Girls Basketball team traveled to Kelloggsville on Thursday and defeated the Rockets 53 to 39. The first quarter was the story as TK led 16-3 and 31-13 at the half. This was a good game because everyone got to play. Balanced scoring was the key. Jane Bryans and Sue Kaechele led the scoring with 12 apiece, Mary Funk followed with 11 and Laurie Hooper was only one point behind with 10. Terri VanAman. Jeana VanderMeulen. Dawn Bos and Chris Perry all had 2 points. Storybook Comeback for JV By outscoring Hamilton 13-5 in the final quarter, the TK JV girls basketball team staged a comeback you read about in books. The final score was 34-33, and the victory came on free throws which were missed in the first three quarters, in which the girls were 1 for 16. In the fourth quarter, the girls made five in a row to help clinch the victory. Balanced scoring from eight of the girls was also a major fac­ tor in the super effort by the team. Scoring were Brenda Page 8, Karman Gray 7, Kris Timm 6. Kathy Schleh 4, Monique Weesie 4, Stacey William­ son. Julie Wilson and Taleese Yonkers 2 each. Beat Kelloggaville, 40-20 After leading by only one point, 11-10, at the end of the first quarter, the Trojans broke the game open by outscoring the Rockets 16-1 in the second quar­ ter, which led to the 40-20 victory. The girls reboun­ ded well, which aided the running of their fast break. Another positive note was that Brenda Swanson scored 5 points, her first for the season. Other Trojans scoring were Kris Timm with 10, Karman Gray 8, Brenda Page 6, Monique Weesie 4, Julie Wilson 3, Taleese Yonkers and Betty Smith 2 each. The girls now have a fine record of 13-4 overall. 7th Graders Have Impressive Year The TK Seventh Grade basketball team entered the OK Blue tournament as the favorite as they were undefeated. A fired up and much improved Caledonia team proved different as they avenged an earlier 22-7 loss with a 16-14 win. The Trojans came back for 2 more games in the consolation bracket and proved they are an awesome team, defeating Kelloggsville 30-11 and Hudsonville 29-19. Against Kelloggsville the Trojans led 18-1 at the end of the first quarter and coasted the rest of the way. Shelly Gray had 12 points, Missy Moretti 5, Beth Steeby 4, Heather Hannapel 2, Michelle Errair 2, Tracy Burtch 2, Kris Wohlford 2 and Tanya Cooper 1.

Regie Raab, Todd Rounds, Brian Smith, Norma and Wanda Carpenter. As is the case for many first time State performers, the day wasn’t particularly successful for any of the runners. With a couple of inches of snow on the ground, cold tem­ peratures and a long bus ride to Watervliet, it became apparent early that this wasn’t going to be the day to record seasonal bests. The young Trojans can be proud of the fact that only a select group of runners compete at the State Meet in the first place. The experience will help these young runners set examples for future state performers. The saying: “You had to be there’’ certainly was apropos for these young people. sted below are the official place and time of each runner: 60 23:41 Norma Carpenter 25:21 70 Wanda Carpenter 19:04 Todd Rounds 58 19:17 61 Brian Smith 19:33 63 Regie Raab The team members voted the following in- dividuals recipients of the following awards: Boy’s team - Most Valuable, Brian Smith; Most Improved, Mike Myers; 1983 Captain, Todd Rounds.

Hope has won this honor for the 4th time in 5 years. The Dutchmen finished an 8-1 season with 5-0 in the league after they defeated Olivet College on Saturday with a shutout score of 40-0. Hope also wrote a new record book with 42 touchdowns in one year and 37 extra points kicked. A passing record was set with 1,334 yards in nine games by Greg Heeres, a sophomore. Twenty-two interceptions were made, 295 points scored in one season, and 185 first downs which gave the Dutch a great season. An interesting point of Saturday’s game at Olivet was Oosterhouse playing for the Hope Flying Dut­ chmen and Monte Munjoy playing with the Olivet Comets.

LIONS' TALES BY JOE SANFORD Middleville Lions Club President Lions Club projects are off and running. We had our first Las Vegas Night at the MiddleViUa Inn. It was a success and money we have earned will go to fund many projects. We plan a second Las Vegas night in the spring. Our second Travelog will be November 15. It is on Irresistable India. This community project is still in great financial trouble. We stand to go in the hole over $1,000.00! We have approved five sets of eye examinations and glasses for our community this year. We are a service club and all our money earned goes for projects. Any social gatherings we have are paid for by our individual members. Lions’ coming events: 1. Travelog November 15 at High School auditorium. 2. The Middleville Lions Club Christmas parade will be December 4. Santa Claus will visit the children of our community at the Middle School. Watch the Sun and News for more information. Bill Kenyon is Christmas parade chairman. We would like a lot of floats this year. Let’s make this a great kickoff for the Christmas Season. Contact Bill Kenyon about entering floats. 3. Travelog January 3, 1983. West of the Badlan­ ds. A journey through the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska. Some Lions Club fund raisers coming up are our calendar sale and collection for White Cane. As always your continued support is needed to make our service to the community a success. If anyone has questions about our projects and service to the community please call any Lions Club member or myself as we will be more than willing to explain what we do. May your Thanksgiving Day be warm and spent with your family. Yours in Lionism Joseph B. Sanford, president Middleville Youth Football Ends Season; Hold Banquet by Bruce Cook Boy Howdy! This season sure was short, at least it seems so now. The Thomapple Valley Youth Football season came to an end last Saturday at Caledonia and from Middleville the Class C Trojans felt the crushing effect of the Caledonia Gold Crush. Although the Trojans lost, they still had a very respectable season of 3-3. The final game of the year was played between the Class B Middleville Trojans and the Caledonia Cobras. The Trojans proved to be immune to the venomous Cobras as they marched to another victory, giving them a proud 4-2 record on the year. The Middleville Youth Football banquet was also held Saturday night and we were very pleased with the large turnout. All of the youngsters were presented with a participation trophy and the coaches were given certificates of appreciation. The concession stand also gave each mother a long stemmed carnation. Some of the coaches were given a special “Thanks’’ by their teams. Mr. Todd Sloan Sr. and Mr. Todd Sloan Jr. were given Coach of the Year Trophies by the Class B Trojans and Mr. Mike Smith and Mr. Tom Carpenter received gift cer­ tificates from Phil’s Pizzaria in Middleville and Caledonia D&W by the Midget Bears who, by the way, also received championship medals from the league. Congratulations to all the coaches, you all did a great job and your time and efforts were ap­ preciated. There are so many people to thank this year there just isn’t enough room to name them all, so we hope you will accept one great big Thank You! We hope to see you again next year, you hard work and diligence did not go unnoticed. �THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 11.1982 Middleville Sun and Caledonia News, Middleville. Michigan PAGE TWELVE CLAY HILLS Food Buy Lines: With WRETHAMcNEE A Look at Thanksgiving Dinner Prices for 1982 No Pilgrim ever dreamed of the selection of foods Americans would have to accompany the turkey or other meat choice. Another huge crop of cranberries means this traditional item can be on every table. Those who prefer cranberry-orange relish will want to select oranges with the brightest colored skins to give the best color contrast to the red cranberries. Bright green broccoli is an ideal vegetable to add color to the Thanksgiving dinner. Acreage is up for this vegetable, which is in peak supply this monthl Sweet potatoes or yams are a Thanksgiving must in many households. Prices are very reasonable this month thanks to a crop forecast to be 14% greater this year than last. Excellent stuffing mixes are available, but stuf­ fing can be made from scratch for less. Purchase day-old bread for additional savings. Consult a standard cookbook for a stuffing recipe. Mashed potatoes, tossed salad, gelatin salads and pumpkin pie round out a Thanksgiving dinner menu. Consider using a topping made from dairy ingredients for the pumpkin pie this year. Shoppers can also look forward to a variety of processed foods being featured this holiday. Canned items such as cranberry sauce, pumpkin, sweet potatoes and mince pie filling are just a few of the products likely to be on special. Michigan food shoppers will find that this year's Thanksgiving turkey will cost more than last year’s, but the trimmings may very well cost less. Low carryover stocks of frozen turkey products and a short supply of pork have bolstered prices for both fresh and frozen turkeys. At this writing, meat buyers will not divulge exact prices, but Allan Rahn, MSU Extension poultry specialist, says wholesale turkey prices are up about 10 cents per pound compared to prices a year ago. Supermarkets that don’t pass all that price increase on to shoppers could very likely require customers to purchase a minimum grocery order with each featured turkey. The featured birds will likely sell in the range of 65 to 75 cents per pound, which still makes turkey a very good value. Turkeys selling at the lower end of the price range will likely be the heavier weight tom turkeys. Tom turkeys today are just as tender as hens, but there is greater consumer demand for the smaller hens. Shoppers realize a double savings by purchasing large birds. In addition to costing less per pound, larger turkeys are meatier. At 10 to 14 pounds, a bird is full grown — any added weight is all meat. When purchasing whole, ready-to-cook turkeys under 12 pounds, allow to 1 pound per serving. You need allow only */» to % pound per serving if you buy a larger bird. These guidelines allow for only one meal, so figure more generous servings if you want some turkey left over. Most turkeys marketed are sold frozen, but fresh turkeys are available during the holiday season. Fresh turkeys are perishable and must be ordered in advance for a given pick up date. Prices for fresh turkeys are substantially higher than those for the less perishable frozen birds. BETTY'S Phone 795 9062 Also Evenings By Appointment 7105 Parmelee Road IM Mi.

FROM KENT COUNTY COOP EXTENSION Does Food Cause Cancer? Can foods cause cancer? All of us have heard about studies that relate the foods we eat to cancer. What are the facts? Foods and nutrients seem to modify rather than cause the growth of cancer. The absence or presence of a specific dietary component has been shown to increase or decrease the risk of cancer. The National Cancer Institute commissioned a review of all the scientific information on diet, food and cancer. The following recommendations were made based on the evidence at this time. New in­ formation may change these recommendations. Dietary factgors may help inhibit the stages of cancer growth. Vegetables in the Brassicaceae family (cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower) have been associated with a reduced in­ cidence of some types of cancer. Dark green and deep yellow vegetables, those known to be rich in Vitamin A, have also been shown to reduce the risk of some types of cancer. It is not known if it is the Viatmin A or another constituent of the food. Therefore, these foods should be consumed and not a supplement. Limited evidence also shows that Vitamin C may inhibit the formation of some car­ cinogens. There are dietary factors that have been shown to increase the risk of cancer. Excessive alcohol con­ sumption may be related to liver cancer, with an even greater risk for smokers. Guidelines: It may never be possible to recommend a diet to protect everyone from all forms of cancer. Overall recommendations include reducing both saturated (animal sources of fat) and unsaturated (vegetable sources of fat) fat consumption, from the level of 40% of total calories now found in the average American diet to 30% of total calories. Include fruits, vegetables and whole wheat grain cereal products. Kent County Cooperation Extension service is an educational unit of Michigan State University.

Games for Sound Discrimination A child’s ability to catch similarities and differen­ ces in sounds is essential to learning phonics. Some games to try are: What Is It? With eyes closed, a child tries to identify sounds, perhaps common household sounds such as the ticking of a clock, or outdoor sounds like the buzzing of a lawnmower or rustling of leaves, or Shannon, Heather and Scott created sounds, like slamming a door, tapping on a pan with a spoon, or jingling keys. Starts Like: Select any letter — say, *‘m” — and show concrete objects or pictures on cards depicting words that begin with the sound. Tell the child that this sound is heard at the beginning of the words Witches, spooks and various other costumed man, milk, mustard and mat. Ask for other words ghouls haunted the halls of the middle school Oc­ beginning with that sound. Repeat each word as you go back over the card, and then ask the child to say tober 29.

NOVEMBER 11,1M2 YOU and YOUR VISION By Richard J. Choryan, O.D. Hunting and Vision Hunters decide when to squeeze the trigger based primarily on what they see, or more specifically, what they think they see. The quality of vision is the key factor. If vision is inadequate, the potential for accidents increases substantially, creating hazards for the hunter and others as well. A hunter must be able to: •distinguish detail at considerable distance and against a variety of backgrounds, •focus clearly on near and distant objects and switch focus within a fraction of a second, •judge distance with speed and accuracy, •detect objects and movements on either side of the target, •identify colors. •see comfortably and perform under a variety of light and weather conditions. The ability to identify plays a large role in hun­ ting. Approximately 5-10 percent of the hunters cannot distinguish colors properly which can pose a dangerous threat to fellow hunters. Research in­ dicates that hunter orange is the only satisfactory color for hunters to wear under all weather and lighting conditions. Red is no longer recommended because red cloth may not be seen by hunters with color vision deficiencies and because it becomes dif­ ficult to see in poor light and disappears at dusk. In order to hunt safely, a hunter must be able to see, as well as be seen! in the service Steven Graham Steven Graham, son of Romilly and Carol Graham of Caledonia, received his discharge from the U.S. Navy on October 13. Graham was a 1976 graduate of Caledonia High School. During his six-year tour of duty he completed several Navy Schools which included Machinest Mate School, Great Lakes, Ill.; Nuclear Power School, Orlando, Florida; and Nuclear Proto-type and Engineering Lab School, Idaho. For the past three years, Graham has been an Engineering Lab Technician assigned to the Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine, USS Alexander Hamilton, based at Groton, Cn, and Holy Lock, Scotland. His rank when discharged was Machinest Mate First Class. Graham is currently employed in the chemistry lab at the Connecticut-Yankee Nuclear Plant at Seldon Neck, CN. Edward D. Whyte Coast Guard Seaman Apprentice Edward D. Whyte, son of Nelson E. and Florence F. Whyte of Alto recently returned from an Alaskan Fisheries Patrol. He is a crewmember aboard the U.S.Coast Guard cutter Rush, homeported in Alameda, CA. During the two-month patrol, his cutter perfor­ med search and rescue missions and enforced U.S. international fishing laws in the Bering Sea and along the Aleutian Islands chain. On Sept. 13, the Rush received a distress signal from the Chinese cargo ship, “Shan Hai Guan” that was adrift 65 miles off the Aleutian Islands. The 500-foot vessel had become entangled in four tons of fishing nets. The Rush towed the ship to Adak, Alaska, where U.S. Navy divers removed the nets. The cutter also assisted in the rescue of five crewmen from a 90-foot fishing vessel that had gone aground in heavy seas. The crewmembers were hoisted to safety by the Rush s HH-52 helicopter. The Rush is a 378 foot high endurance cutter that carries a crew of 164. Graduate from Western Local students listed on the recent graduate list from Western Michigan University include.

Visit a Veteran This Week to Honor Those Who Gave So Much by Steve Orders 1982 Outstanding Disabled Veteran of the Year November 11 is a special day — Veterans Day, a day set aside to honor the men and women who have helped to protect the freedoms we all enjoy. After Vietnam war wounds put me in a wheelchair, I spent a lot of time in Veterans Ad­ ministration hospital, but I was lucky because I always had the support of my family and friends. Today there are nearly 90,000 men and women in our VA hospitals, many without close family or friends. Some will be there for a long time. These veterans need to know that they’re not forgotten, that people still care. That’s why, in honor of Veterans Day, I ask you to visit a veteran at your nearest VA hospital on November 11. Just drop by, say hello, make a friend. It will make you — and a veteran — feel better. Perhaps the stories of a couple of veterans I met on a recent trip to a VA hospital will help explain why I, as a representative of the Disabled American Veterans, am asking you to do something more than fly an American flag on November 11 this year. Take Ed, who was a strapping young man, loved by everyone, when he went overseas in 1919. Then, somewhere in the Argonne forest, a German shell tore an arm off his body. Today, Ed’s ticker is getting ready to quit. At 85, he’s outlived all of his closest relatives and friends. Ed tried to smile as he told me, “The younger people, they just don’t have time.’’ Somehow, it just escaped Ed that I was two generations behind him. Ed’s alone, he’s old, and he’s dying. Then there’s Tony who, I’d say, has many years ahead of him. But his old high school buddies - now in their middle thirties - have long since forgotten about him. Sometimes Tony forgets things too, due to the North Vietnamese shrapnel lodged deep inside his skull since that day, that year, Tony seems unable to place. “Maybe my family thinks I can’t remem­ ber them, don't notice when they don’t come here so much any more, ’ ’ Tony told me. Not every patient in our VA hospitals has a story as gut-wrenching as these. Some stories are happier, some even sadder. Only a few patients have gone to the VA, like Ed, to die. And, certainly, not all will spend their lives walking up and down the VA’s wards like Tony. But the theme of loneliness ... of being forgotten . . . is common enough in the lives of the veterans in our VA hospitals, common enough that we should all take notice. I don't need to explain why none of us should allow Ed and Tony and others like them to become forgotten people. All of us owe a tremendous debt to the men and women who have fought America s wars, and all of us know that. It’s a great idea to show you remember the sacrifices these veterans made by hanging a flag in front of your home on November 11. And I’d really appreciate your attendance at a parade or other Veterans Day observance in your community. But let's do a little more than that this year. In honor of Veterans Day, the Disabled American Veterans urge you to drop in at the VA hospital nearest you to visit just one or two veterans. They need to be remembered. The buck starts here. M aking a start is probably the most important step toward saving. There is a way to take the initial step and know you’re on the right track tow ard a regular, scheduled savings. Just join the Payroll Savings Plan at work. A little is taken out of each pay check tow ard the purchase of U.S. Savings Bonds. You don’t have to worry about making a special effort to put something aside each pay day . It’s all done for you. Automatically. Inc bucks start piling up, the interest grow s, and y ou realize you ve found one surefire way to save. r f -- x T<< ui^merica. When you put part of your savings into U.S. Savings Bonds you’re helping to build a brighter future for your country and for yourself � https://www.barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/25/692/SunandNews_1982-11-18.pdf c6470216319bebeef037b439137ecc8f PDF Text Text H’sUngs Public LIb 2^1 Church Hastings, UI 49053 comp The Sun and News fywt ^Mtedw* 'fyauAfia/iei Senuitcq 'Mtiddleuitte & (^atedonca, TWENTY CENTS PER COPY NOVEMBER 18,1982 * MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 112th YEAR • NUMBER 46 Village Seeks Council Applicants Barry Transit Bus Transports 31,726 The Village of Middleville is looking for another member to fill a vacancy on the village council. Bob Engerson recently resigned his seat because of a job-related conflict with the hours the coucil meets. This makes the third seat that has had to be filled by appointment due to people leaving the council. Connie Duyser and Joe Scott were recently appoin­ ted to fill two vacancies created by the death of Councilman Larry Stanley and the resignation of John Dussia. Persons interested in serving on the council should make application with either Village Manager Ernie Ball, or Village President Robert Sullivan. Barry County Transit Transportation manager, Ted Bustance, is pleased to announce that as of Oc­ tober 25, we have transported 31,726 people throughout Barry County. This is an average for last month of 220 transports a day. with a high of 262. We are most interested in fulfilling our priorities and that is transporting contractual business, senior citizens, and as many general public of Barry County that we can. Barry County Transit anticipates transporting 912 percent of the population of Barry County or 46,000 to 52,000 people in its first year of oepration Barry County Transit is in the process of discussing various other consolidation efforts to improve ser­ vice to not only the above, but with other agencies throughout the county and save the taxpayers ad­ ditional money. Barry County Transit is presently transporting students, and would desire to transport more students • not only in Hastings, but also in surroun­ ding towns. Barry County Transit’s goal is to be the first transit system in the state to be selfsupporting, based on the state s formula of 50/50 matching funds. Bustance is proud to inform the taxpayers that he is presently receiving 304 in fares for every $1.00 of operational expense - with 20c more Barry County Transit will be the first selfsupportive system based on the 50/50 funds from gasoline tax. Most other county incentive systems obtain less than 20c from fares. Bustance believes this accomplishment is because of our reservation approach and priority system which is the first in the state, and for which the state is keeping a close eye on our performance. There is no question that most other transit systems are over 80 percent subsidized from such funds as federal, state and gasoline tax funds. Bustance wishes to impress to the people of Barry County that this transit system is not just for han­ dicappers or senir citizens, but is for you, the general public. Bustance also feels that Barry County Transit has been cost-effective in decreasing the use of equipment from what we used the first day of operation £2-82) from five buses to three buses. Today we are using four buses. Our office hours are Monday through Thursday 4 a.m. to 7 a m. and Friday 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Need a ride?

Hunters Find Sven Miss Abigale Oberkeinemensch of 13498 Apple Blvd., Middleville, reported to the office of the Sun & News that she and her girl friend. Fanny Unteralles of Irving, came across the dwelling of Sven Bunyan (shirt-tail relation to Paul) while on a search for the rare coot (the Alte-Coot) native to the Por­ cupine Mountain area of the upper peninsula. Abigale was able to give directions to Sven s domicile and these directions were given to two of the local Rotarians who are hunting in the Ontanoggin area. These two rotarians searched out Sven and persuaded him to come to Middleville to aid the Middleville Rotary Club in a special project which it is planning.

THANKS BOOSTERS The following letter was sent to all members of the TK Boosters Club, expressing the school's ap­ preciation for their support Booster Club Members John Tiemeyer Honor Caledonian At age 19, R. John Tiemeyer, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Tiemeyer, probably has as much experience in livestock marketing as many people twice his age. Tiemeyer’s extensive involvement in marketing earned him the 1982 Future Farmers of America National Agricultural Sales and Service Proficiency Award. Tiemeyer, of Caledonia, has worked at a local livestock auction nearly every week since he was fourteen years old. The 1982 graduate of Caledonia High School works at Wayland Livestock Auction, Inc., and buys and sells cattle, horses, sheep and hogs, and trucks for area farmers and packing plan­ ts with his own truck and trailer. Several factors were considered in Tiemeyer's selection as a Proficiency award winner. These in­ clude his work activities, income realized, net worth, and competence gained as a result of training and on-the-job experience. In addition to Tiemeyer’s marketing experience, he owns a herd of registered Guernsey cattle and a flock of Suffolk sheep. He is actively involved in buying and selling livestock for himself and others. He admits, “There have been weeks that I’ve gone to as many as six sales.” Tiemeyer plans to attend auctioneer's school and someday own or manage a livestock sale bam. The 1982 FFA Agricultural Sales and Service Proficiency Award is sponsored by Allis Chalmers Corporation of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Larry Kubic, A-C General Sales Manager, is shown congratulating Tiemeyer.

Choryan, O.D. *%«®^8MOKING AND VISION^^x The effects of tobacco smoking on our general health are widely known. However, it can also cause vision problems that many people are not aware of. Nicotine and carbon monoxide, two of the most harmful ingredients in cigarette smoke, can reduce a smoker’s vision at night. In some individuals, nicotine may cause blood vessels in the eyes to become smaller and this reduces the oxygen supply. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood's ability to combine with and carry needed oxygen, and this lack of oxygen can interfere with the eye’s ability to adapt from dark to light. Other studies have shown that some smokers tend to have a narrower field of vision. This disorder causes a reduction of the image which the eye sees and sends to the brain. Of particular importance to drivers, smoking can also impair peripheral or "side" vision. The lack of oxygen seems to diminish the eye’s normally excellent sensitivity to side movements, such as autos approaching from behind on a freeway. Fortunately, these vision disorders are rever­ sable. When an individual kicks the habit, he will experience increased visual abilities as well as overall general health improvements.

How can you improve your bowling scores? Where’s the best place to ski in this area? I don’t know the answers to any of these questions, but I do know where and how to find out. Check the Public Library. There is a wealth of untapped resources available dealing with athletics and fitness. Recently the sports collection has grown. The library already had quite a large collection of sports materials and with the addition of many new books, we can offer variety, up-to-date instruction and information on the latest equipment. Several of the new materials belong to a series simply titled “Inside." Each book deals with a dif­ ferent sport. All of them include warm up exercises, information on equipment, and pictures explaining procedures. Any novice would appreciate the fact that they are easy to follow and start with the basics. This collection includes: Inside Softball for Women Inside Volleyball for Women Inside Basketball for Women Inside Track for Women Inside Jogging for Women Inside Track for Men Inside Powerlifting Inside Wrestling For those of you who have progressed to the point of making errors, we offer this series: 40 Common Errors in Tennis 40 Common Errors in Bowling 40 Common Errors in Running The best part of these books is that author Arthur Shay tells you how to correct these errors. Per­ sonally I’m not advanced enough in any sport to recognize any errors. That probably means I have too many to count. There are some particularly good books for par­ ticipants or coaches of these team sports: Competitive Weightlifting by R.V. Fodor Mastering Wrestling by Ken Kraft Contemporary Gymnastics If you are involved with these sports, check these books out. They are sure to help. The series of books entitled Winning would surely appeal to the pseudo jet set of the community. These books will help you convince your friends that you are an accomplished tennis player, runner, and ping pong player. If you are lacking in athletic abilities, as I am, but still want to impress your friends with your physical fitness, these books are great insight: Winning Tennis Doubles Winning Running Winning Table Tennis Finally, I’d like to inform you of a new skiing book. This book does not instruct or tell you about equipment. The book entitled A Complete Guide to Skiing in the Midwest by Patricia Skalka tells you everything you need to know about ski resorts in the Midwest. This guide includes information on lodges, location, phone numbers, difficulties of runs and special features. The book covers Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and Wiscon­ sin. If you want to plan a weekend skiing trip, this book is indispensable. This is the time of year that everyone needs a boost. Any of these books would apark your en­ thusiasm even if you have to wait until Spring to put the information into practice. Winter is the best season of all for reading.

We are starting a new decade, with a new board, facing new challenges. The 1980 election challenged government to examine its roles and capabilities as problem solver; the concept of “new federalism” seemed to say: let us em­ phasize more decision making and problem solving at our local levels. The 1982 election has added the caveat that any change in the role of government must not overlook the basic needs of people, jobs, human services, a balanced economy. 3 1 k 6 “I_____ r These will be the challenges for local government in the 1980’s: how to achieve the balance of effective efficient _____ r government and the delivery of adequate services for the needs of our citizens.

Meet the TK Team Middleville Students Improve on Michigan Assessment Test Scores Thomapple Kellogg students continued to show overall improvement on the Michigan Assessment Test for 1982. The Michigan Assessment Test is designed to measure minimum competency in math and reading at the fourth, seventh and tenth grade levels. The strongest gains were in seventh grade math and reading and fourth grade reading. Slight declines from last years test were registered in tenth grade math and reading and fourth grade math. Tony McLain, coordinator of the Michigan Assessment Test at Thornapple Kellogg noted that the slight declines aren’t a major concern. Our overall trend is upward.’’ he noted, and once you start scoring near the top of the test minor fluc­ tuations like these are to be expected Student achievement is categorized into four levels with students in the highest level achieving at least 75 percent of the objectives. To show overall improvement. 1982 scores were compared to 1974 scores (the first year of test im­ plementation) and in most areas, TK students made considerable gains. At the fourth grade level in 1974 only 50.3% of the students achieved the highest level in reading with 83.5% of the students achieving that level in 1982.

In seventh grade reading in 1974, only 50.7 per­ cent of the TK students were in the highest level of reading while the 1982 scores haa 95.5 percent of TK students achieving at the highest level. Another important figure in reading, Mr. McLain noted, was the fact that in 1974 23.3 percent of TK students scored in the lowest category while today no studen­ ts were listed in the lowest category’. Math scores continued to rise at the seventh grade with 75.5 percent of the students achieving at the highest level when only 50 percent attained that level in 1974. The testing at the tenth grade level started in 1979 but in those for years the tenth grade reading scores have improved from 60.7 in the highest category to 75.7 now in the highest category. Tenth Boyd Tolles, formerly of Hastings, is shown grade math scores in 1979 had 49.7 percent of the students in the highest level, with 62.8 percent receiving the 870 Remington shotgun he won in the Middleville Jaycees 4th Annual Shotgun Raffle. achieving that distinction in 1982.

NOVEMBER 25,1982 At Your Public Library By Chris Boysen Public Library AsNistant 100's of Yule Books Christmas time is almost here! I can hear many of you groaning right now because you can’t fathom how you will be ready in time. Let me tell you about some books that could make your Christmas more original, less hectic and much more enjoyable! Sound impossible? Check it out (literally!) The library has over one hundred books on Christmas. Some are Christmas stories for children. Some deal with ideas and directions if you are in­ terested in gift making. Others explain how Christ­ mas is celebrated in other countries. Still others relate Christmas experiences and traditions. Any of them could lend to the enjoyment of your Christ­ mas. I m sure that if you check the card in the back of most of the Christmas Craft Books, you will find my name. I’ve borrowed books on Christmas card making, candle making, and ornament making. A couple of my favorites are the Scrap Savers Stitchery Book and More Scrap Savers Stitchery Book, both by Foose. If you are working within a budget (who isn’t) and have friends who enjoy unique gifts, the books will certainly give you a couple of brain­ storms. Even I, whom my sister and Mother refer to as a beginning sewer (I think they are being generous), have completed projects from these books. The Holidays are a great time for family gatherings and parties. I ve found a good source for party ideas in the Farm Journal Christmas Books. There are three in the library collection called: Christmas Book, Christmas Idea Book, and Christ­ mas with a Country Flavor. All include holiday recipes, directions for handcrafted gifts and direc­ tions for innovative decorations. These should help make each gathering memorable. Perhaps some may lead to some great family traditions. Christmas is probably the most enchanting time for children. After looking at some Christmas Ixxiks for children, I remember why it is such a magic time. Can you remember when your parents used to read you The Night Before Christmas"? I can. I recall that I believed all of it too. That was part of the magic. Other seasonal books include How the Orinch Stole Christmas by Doctor Seuss, and Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Anderson. Several other junior and easy books are waiting to be checked out. With so many super books available, it is hard to single out books to write about in this column. I must confess that The Joy of Christmas by Lee Thoms has been a favorite of mine for the past two years. This book says it all with beautiful photographs and a few selected poems. Every time I look at the book I’m reminded how special this holiday is. It’s guaranteed to give your spirits a boost. Next week I’ll have a special column for you. I have a fun filled Christmas fact finding puzzle for you. This contest will be sponsored by the Thomapple Kellogg Community Library with a unique prize for the winner. Some of the answers you will know. Others you’ll have to dig a little for (how about using the library?) I ’ll give you all the details, rules and regulations next week in the column. Don’t miss it! Meanwhile, come in and take a look at the Christmas books. I’m sure you will be delighted with some new ideas they offer. Remember, the library will be closed Thursday and Friday, Novem­ ber 25 and 26. Happy Thanksgiving!

With no further business appearing, the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Donna Kenyon, Clerk Despite gains by the Sun Belt, the bulk of American industry is still in Northeastern and North Central states—and will stay there, according to one of the nation’s most distinguished young economists. But if Michigan wants to keep its share of the business, Dr. Glenn C. Loury says it must provide “an economic environ­ ment in which businessmen per­ ceive that it’s in their interest to invest their money as opposed to some other place.’’ According to Dr. Loury, that means improving Michigan’s tax environment and reforming its expensive work­ men’s compensation system. Dr. Loury recently joined Harvard University’s economics faculty after teaching at the University of Michigan. He has been a consultant to the Federal Trade Commission and the Rockefeller Foundation, and a visiting scholar at three overseas universities, including Oxford. His views on Michigan’s economy appeared in a recent issue of “Focus: Views on Energy,” a magazine published by Consumers Power Company. Dr. Loury says that Michigan already has a number of strong selling points. .Among them he cites a highly-skilled work force, abundant water supplies and reliable energy. “Compared to most other states, Michigan is very well off indeed,” he says of energy. “It has extensive storage facilities that enable it to keep gas flowing when other states are having trouble. Back in the awful winter of 1976-77, Ohio suffered more than 150,000 long-term layoffs because of interruptions in the deliveries of industrial gas.” He says the interruptions cost Ohio more than $200 million in lost business. . “During that same winter, there wasn’t any interruption1 in industrial gas deliveries in Michigan. None at all,” Dr. Loury says. “That should speak volumes I " Dr. Glenn C. Loury to businessmen thinking of locating here.” Michigan also is strong in another part of the energy picture that Dr. Loury regards as extremely important—nuclear power. There are three nuclear plants operating in Michigan; two more are under construction. “America has a great need for nuclear power," Dr. Loury says. “We simply cannot satisfy all of our energy requirements without it That’s an economic truth we cannot ignore. When you con­ sider the long-term growth of the American economy, it would be a serious economic mistake to abandon our invaluable nuclear resources.” But the most immediate part of Dr. Loury’s prescription for economic health is for the state’s residents to pull together. He says, "The people of Michigan must recognize that we’re all in this together—that we must find a way of making compatible our individual interests without undercutting the overall in­ terests of the state as a whole.” Thia advertisement is paid for by the shareholders of Consumers Power (tynapany 20-36-234-C it—Ijjjmjjjljjjjfmnmimmn �PAGE BIX THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 25,1982 YOU and YOUR VISION By Richard J. Choryan, O.D. What is Glaucoma? Just as the body produces blood, it produces a fluid inside the eye. Glaucoma is an eye condition in which either too much fluid is produced or normal drainage of fluid does not occur. This causes pressure to build up in the eyeball. The chance of glaucoma developing increases af­ ter the age of 35, with the majority of cases oc­ curring in persons over age 60. In many instances, the tendency to develop glaucoma is inherited. Increased pressure in the eye brought on by glaucoma can damage parts of the eye and cause a loss of vision. The longer the increased pressure remains undetected and untreated, the greater the damage and loss of vision. Some common signs and symptoms of glaucoma include blurred vision which comes and goes, seeing colored rings around lights, a loss in side vision, and pain or redness of the eye. Glaucoma can be detected in a thorough op­ tometric examination. The appearance of the optic nerve of the eye, and a simple and painless test to measure the pressure in the eye can show the development of glaucoma. Treatment may include special eyedrops and/or medicines, and in some cases surgery may be required. Early detection is the key to keeping glaucoma under control, and your vision intact.

NOV EMBER 25. 1382 Americans to Gobble Up 30 Million Turkeys This Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is the day Americans will gobble up approximately 30 million turkeys, or almost 20 percent of the 1982 national turkey crop This crop — estimated at 163.6 million turkeys nationally — is 4 percent smaller than the 1981 crop. The michigan turkey crop of 1.4 million birds, is also down slightly from a year ago. Allan Rahn. MSU poultry economist, says individual turkeys are larger, however, because of lower feed costs and more heavy breed strains being raised this year. These larger birds are a good deal for shoppers, larger turkeys cost less per pound and yield a in The Caledonia Village Mall CALL FOR APPOINTMENT 891-9257 We 're Anxious to Meet You! Rita, Kim, Julia and Rose higher proportion of meat to bone than turkeys weighing 12 pounds or less. Most shoppers will choose frozen turkeys. Frozen stuffed turkeys and frozen turkey rolls go directly from the freezer to the oven. Other turkeys require thawing. Proper thawing is necessary to avoid food poisoning. Keep the turkey solidly frozen until the thawing procedure begins. To thaw, leave the turkey in its original wrapper and use one of the following methods. Place the turkey on a tray in the refrigerator and thaw. It will take three to four days, depending on the frozenb temperature of the turkey, the size of the bird, and the temperature of the refrigerator. The faster brown-bag method involves putting the frozen turkey on a tray in a tightly closed brown grocery bag. Let it sit out at room temperature for the required amount of thawing time - about one hour per pound. The heavy bag keeps the outside of the turkey from getting too warm before the inside is thawed. The cold water method is the fastest but least desirable because it results in a greater loss of moisture. That means the turkey will be Jess juicy, especially if it's roasted rather than steamed. To thaw a turkey in cold water, cover the plastic wrap­ ped bird with cold running water. Itr takes about Vi hour per pound of turkey. It is wise to check thawing progress by any one of the three methods. Refrigerate or cook the turkey as soon as it is thawed. Once thawed, the turkey should be refrigerated no longer than two days, and it should not be refrozen until it is cooked. Don't stuff the turkey the night before, no matter how enticing this advance preparation may seem. Stuffing is a perfect culture for bacteria. Once stuf­ fed, the bird should be cooked immediately. Following the cooking timetable on the turkey wrapper. Today’s turkeys are very tender, and the cooking times in old cookbooks are incorrect. For best results, use a meat thermometer placed in the center of the inside thigh muscle of unstuffed turkeys or in the center of the stuffing in stuffed birds. When done, it will register 180 to 185 degrees F in unstuffed birds, 165 degrees F in stuffed turkeys. After your holiday feast, make sure you refrigerate the turkey immediately. Separate the turkey meat, stuffing and gravy and store themn in the refrigerator in different containers. If you have a large quantity of a hot dish left over, put it in several small containers rather than one large one to speed cooling. Cover tightly to prevent dryness and loss of flavor. If kept cold in the refrigerator, cooked turkey will maintain its quality for three or four days; gravy and stuffing, two days. If you don't plan to use them within that length of time, freeze them immediately. Coupon Clipping Going at Fast Clip Michigan consumers are redeeming more price-off coupons at their neighborhood grocery stores than consumers in other states, according to the Michigan Food Dealers Association. “Grocers are redeeming 25 percent more of their customer’s coupons through our redemption center than they redeemed in 1981," said Charles Chan­ dler, executive director of MFDA. "That figure represents a nearly 50 percent increase in the dollar value of the coupons.' As a service to its 1,600 member grocers, MFDA serves as the "middleman” between the grocer and the manufacturer who issues the coupons, providing groders with immediate reimbursement for redeemed coupons. "Statistics show that shoppers in Michigan are redeeming coupons at a 16 percent higher level than those consumers in other states,” said Chandler, who estimates that nationally 4.9 percent of all coupons are redeemed. This year, he adds, it is estimated that some 115 billion coupons will be distributed by manufacturers. Chandler said coupon usage extends across all socio-economic classes because these days everyone is feeling the pinch. He attributes the dramatic in­ crease to the sagging economy and the increase in the value of individual coupons. "Because of the prolonged downturn in the state’s economy, consumers are resorting to any means that will help them save money," Chandler said, "and coupons, if used properly, can do the trick. People in the middle-income range, in par­ ticular, are using more coupons than ever before." "Manufacturers have also provided consumers with greater incentives to use coupons by raising the value of the discount and making it more profitable for shoppers to clip and store coupons,” he continued. Chandler said it’s not uncommon to find coupons worth 254 to $1 and more. Besides more value, coupons are being offered in concentrated sections of weekly newspaper ads and in special newspaper inserts. Statistics show that more than half the coupons redeemed are clipped from these two media sources. Chandler offered these tips to consumers looking for ways to use coupons effectively: 1. Use coupons for the products you typically would buy or for what you can happily and readily substitute as an alternative. 2. Remember your shopping list and stick to it using coupons for only those items on the list. 3. Don’t be afraid to use coupons for convenience foods. U.S.Department of Agriculture research shows that more than one-third of convenience items studied were actually lower in cost than the individual ingredients. 4. Don’t take the time to trip coupons. Grocers don’t mind if they haven’t been clipped neatly with scissors. 5. Arrange your coupons by category and file in a box, envelopes or any other handy container. (During a recent shopping trip, Chandler said he noticed one woman carrying a huge purse with dividers filled with coupons.) 6. Tell the cashier that you have coupons before he or she begins to ring up your order. This will speed up check out time tremendously. Most importantly, don’t forget to take your coupons with you when you head for the store. A coupon in the junk drawer isn’t worth anything at aU.

Michigan PAGE TWO A Real Buck Tale Wayne Ingersoll of Garbow Road, Middleville, bagged his buck last Saturday in a most interesting manner — the buck nearly ran him down in his own back yard! Ingersoll was working in his barn when he noticed a vehicle with some “road hunters” stop a short way from his home. After shots were heard, he and his wife saw two deer coming across the fields, and he hurried for his gun, always kept handy during the season. The U-point buck, weighing nearly 200 pounds, was hit as he ran by — and Wayne is happy he doesn’t have to tramp the woods any more this season. obituaries MRS. WILMA A. CLAYTON Mrs. Wilma A.

Nowadays, to many that is a process which takes too long. They try to establish community confi­ dence quickly by public relations techniques — “I am a good fellow because it says so right here in my publicity.” But con­ fidence lasts only as long as it is backed by real service, fair dealing and a sincere feeling for those in bereavement. Have we achieved that kind of trust and confidence? That is for those who have used our services to say and there is only one meaningful way for them to say it. With deep feelings of grati­ tude, we note that they have done so. sy Sincerely VISIT Blanco FURNITURE BOX 63, Old US-131 and 124th AVENUE SHELBYVILLE MICHIGAN 49344 672-7913 672-5115 Director Roetman Funeral Chapel "Serving Today’s Needs With a Tradition of Christian Service. 616 East Main Street * Caledonia, Michigan 49316 We’ll treat you to FULL SERVICE You can always be sure of personal attention when you bank with us.

Middleville. Michigan A WOMAN’S WHIRL TO CELEBRATE 80th YEAR BY Joanne Boysen Can it be a whole year since I was telling everybody it couldn’t be Christmas already and I was sure I couldn’t possibly be ready?! I hear myself saying the same things this year, and I alternate between that panicky rush, rush feeling and the deep-down conviction that this is really missing the whole point of Christmas. Christmas is such a special time of year that I think we try too hard to make everything perfect. We wear ourselves out so much with the trappings of the holiday that we lose that wonderful warm feeling that really means Christmas — at least to me. So the carpet hasn’t been shampooed, the win­ dows didn’t get washed, and all those beautiful han­ dmade projects you began with more enthusiasm and optimism than realism, aren’t going to be finished in time. Christmas will still arrive, and we will somehow find time, at least at this time of year, to reach out to those whom we see so rarely; we still will hold our families and friends close and try to show them the love we feel for them all year but don’t always let them know; and we will make it a point to share our many blessings, at least in some small way, with those who have special needs. There are so many good things happening at this time of year; what a lot we would miss if there were no Christmas. Sometimes events totally beyond our control bring us up short and make us realize how much we take for granted, and how misplaced our priorities are. Two days before Thanksgiving our son Mike had an emergency appendectomy. For the first time, one of our immediate family spent a holiday in the hospital. Fortunately, he recovered rapidly, and, by Thanksgiving Day, he was feeling better, but there was a real hole in our gathering without Mike. It has been a long standing tradition to spend Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa. To be nearer the hospital so we could visit Mike, we gathered at our house instead. In all the confusion, I don’t even think the vacuuming was done, but I really didn’t make any difference. Holidays, special days, arrive whether were ready or not. Christmas is almost here. It’s time to let the joy, the wonder, the excitement, the an­ ticipation replace that tired, harrassed feeling in our lives. The world is a better place, and we are better people when we allow Christmas into our hearts. Speaks at MSU Fall Commencement Susan Finkbeiner Bartz Susan Finkbeiner Bartz, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Wayne Finkbeiner, addressed the 1982 fall com­ mencement at Michigan State University on Satur­ day, December 4, in East Lansing. She spoke to 1700 graduates and their parents, friends and faculty congratulating them on their achievements, stressing their need to persevere towards their goals, and to have realistic expectations of their freedom, friends, finances, framework in which they operate, and personal feed back. Susan and her parents were honored at a luncheon by President, Dr. Cecil Mackey, Provost, Dr. Lee Winder, and the Board of Trustees of Michigan State University. Dora Verduin Mrs. Dora Verduin of Caledonia will celebrate her 80th birthday next Tuesday. She has been an organist for 67 years, the past 18 of them at the Caledonia Christian Reformed Church. Mrs. Verduin's children are honoring her with a lun­ cheon following the Sunday services on December 12. LETTERS To the editor: A note of thanks to everyone who helped to make the Invitational Wrestling Tournament last Satur­ day a success. The generous donations and the willing help in the cafeteria made it possible to profit $570.77 on the concessions. Thanks to everyone who helped, and congratulations wrestlers. Nan Anders. To the Editor: The TK Boosters would like to thank the Henry Dugan family for allowing us to use their bam to assemble our Christmas Parade float, without which our “Town Square’’ would have been flooded! We would also like to thank Don Thomas for the use of his trailer. And, finally, our heartiest thanks go out to the Booster members themselves who worked so hard and diligently to create a unique float entry. TK Boosters B. Munjoy, President obituaries JAMES H.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9,1982 At Your Public Library By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistant COOKING Attention all gourmets, culinary artists and good cooks. I’m even interested in those aspiring good cooks. Are you tired of the standard recipes? Have I got a solution for you! In the library go to the sub­ ject card catalog. Look up cookery. You will be amazed to find out that the library has at least one hundred and fifty current cookbooks. Many of them are specialty cookbooks such as microwave cook­ books, vegetarian cookbooks, one-dish meals cook­ books and Seafood cookbooks. I’ve chosen a sample of books that look appealing. Let me tell you a little about each one - just enough to whet your appetite. About two years ago the library purchased a set of encyclopedias on cookery. Most of them have not been utilized as they should be. I’m puzzled why such super new cookbooks are not being used. Perhaps it is because many people don’t know they exist. The set of 23 volumes is produced by Woman’s Day. Everything one would need to know about cooking is found in these books. They cover everything from appetizers to desserts for break­ fast, lunch and dinner. Every ethnic dish from every country you can think of is included. Recipes for special occasions such as weddings and holidays are explained. If all this information intimidates you, there is a solution. An index, directing one to the proper volume and page number is located in volume 23. I think you will find these recipes easy to follow and original. Each volume circulates separately, so you need not check out one big, heavy book. For those of you just learning to cook, The Cook Book by Terence and Caroline Conran, is very valuable. The authors have divided the book into four sections: The purchase and preparation of food. Recipes, Presentation and Equipment. They assume the reader knows nothing about cooking, providing charts, photographs and explanations when needed. For the more accomplished cook, there is a new gourmet book called Gourmet Cooking Without Salt by Eleanor Brenner. This gourmet book is special since it offers three hundred low sodium recipes. I know several people with restricted salt intake. These recipes sound tasty and relatively easy. Ad­ ditionally, in this weight conscious society, Weight Watchers International Cookbook will be welcomed reading. By the looks of the recipes, dieting by this method can’t be too painful. This book certainly would help change eating habits, even if you were not on a structured diet. The majority of cookbooks available are specialty books. The book entitled Classic One-Dish Meals by Family Circle offers many quick, simple recipes. In our fast paced society, quick and easy are the magic words. The quickest, easiest ways involve the microwave oven. Creative Microwave Cooking provides step-by-step instructions with cooking times especially geared to the microwave. Many who own a microwave do not utilize it to its maximum capacity. Often it is a matter of re­ training oneself in the kitchen. An accomplished microwave cook can save time and energy. If you are planning a special dinner or are tired of the recipes you’ve over used, try new ones! Many of us (I’m guilty) need to improve our eating habits. Many of the cookbooks deal with low calorie cooking. Food does not have to be fattening to be tasty, but with all these new recipes, it sure can be fun. �THURSDAY.

Doing real well now. Gather Food Free For Winter Bird and Animal Feedings If you plan to feed the winter birds and other animals that live in or visit your backyard, now is a good time to gather a supply of free food. “Fallen apples and crabapples and nuts in the lawn have to be raked up and disposed of anyway, so you might as well save the best of them to feed to wildlife,” says Glenn Dudderar Extension wildlife specialist at MSU. Store the fruits in a basket in the garage or car­ port, he advises. In plastic bags they will quickly rot. If you want your supply of nuts to last the en­ tire winter, store them where squirrels and chip­ munks can’t get to them, or the nuts will be gone before the snow flies. The easiest way to feed apples is to drive a big nail through a board, stick an apple on the nail and place the board where the animals you want to feed can reach it. If it’s on or near the ground, chipmunks and rabbits will enjoy it. In rural and suburban fring areas, pheasants and deer may munch on apples you put out. Most birds that come to a winter bird feeder will peck at an apple, for the moisture it contains if not for the food. Chickadees, Goldfinches, starlings, nuthatches and woodpeckers especially if the apples happen to be wormy - as well as the fruit-eating birds such as robins, bluebirds and thrashers, will be interested in an apple. Don’t go overboard in saving windfalls, Dudderar advises. If you’re feeding birds, they probably won’t eat even one apple a day, so you don't need bushels and bushels to get you through the winter. Plan on one apple or less per day from around December 1 through March or early April. If you’ve had trouble with squirrels invading your bird feeders, try setting up a separate squirrel feeding station and stocking it with nuts from yard or street trees, especially hickory nuts and black walnuts. Ear corn is another favorite squirrel food. It’s inexpensive to buy or can be gleaned from havested fields with permission of the farmer. A ready supply of these favorite foods should cut down on squirrel raids on the bird feeder. USESUNAND NEWS CLASSIFIEDS/ Your Friendly GOOD FOOD STORE CrystqrFlasl\ SELF- ^'^jERVICE SPECIALS M 37.

DECEMBERS. 1982 PAGE SIX Food Buy Lines: Ingredients for Holiday Goodies are Plentiful Holiday cooks and bakers have virtually no real shortages to contend with this season. Some prices of basic ingredients are even below those of a year ago. Egg prices strengthened earlier, but market analysts say egg prices this month will still run below year-ago prices. The reason: shell egg and egg product demand has not been strong this year. Most family size recipes are formulated for medium or large eggs. These two sizes can be used interchangeably with good results in most recipes. Dried fruits are a component of many Christmas holiday foods. The raisin crop was first pegged at 270,000 to 300,000 tons, but rains and the resulting mold cut the crop by more than half. In spite of the shortened crop, the raisin supply will be adequate for the holidays tmd beyond, but prices are in­ creasing 10 to 30 percent. The fairly high carryover to’ , ^o°fC 1 V from the bumper 1981 crop is making up some of the difference. The dried prune crop is now estimated at 125,000 tons — 22 percent below last year’s crop. Movement has been somewhat slow for dried apricots and dried mixed fruits. Prices on both items remain about the same. The U. S. Dept, of Agriculture estimated the peanut crop at 3.43 billion pounds, as of November 1. This is 14 percent below last year's bumper crop but well above 1980’s short crop. The good supplyu of peanuts is reflected in lower prices for peanuts in the shell, jar peanuts and peanut butter. The 1982 U.S. pecan crop is 39 percent below last year’s. Because of a large carryover and only moderate demand, pecan prices should hold steady during the holidays. The U. S. walnut crop totals 33.3 million pounds in-shell equivalent and is equal to last year's crop. Good quality is reported on the new crop of filberts now being harvested. The U.S.crop is estimated at 17,200 tons. The domestic almond crop is estimated at 365 million pounds, the third-largest ever. All Brazil nuts are imported. The crop is down about 25 percent, and exports to the United States are expected to be down proportionately. Prices will be higher and/or packages of mixed nuts will likely contain fewer Brazil nuts than usual. Shoppers can look for lower priced cashews. Imports are up 30 percent and the market is weak. Grated coconut prices are down about 10 percent from a year ago. Grated coconut is sold dry or moist — moist tastes more like fresh coconut. Some vintage recipes specify fresh grated coconut and/or coconut milk, but few of them explain how to prepare it. Fresh coconuts are usually stocked by produce departments at this time of year. Select a coconut that shows no sign of mold and, when shaken, sounds full of liquid. Preparing grated coconut from scratch requires piercing the dark depressions called “eyes” with a clean screwdriver and setting the coconut upside down over a clean jar to let the milk drain. Set the milk aside. Place the coconut in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove the coconut from the oven and tap all over with a hammer to loosen the meat from the shell. Next, split the coconut with a heavy mallet or hammer and pry out the white meat with a sharp knife. Pare off the thin dark skin and grate the white meat using a grater or blender. A medium coconut yields 3 to 4 cups of grated coconut. To toast grated or shreded coconut (fresh or packaged) spread in a shallow pan and place in a 350 degree oven until delicately browned, it takes 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the amount of moisture present.

DECEMBER 9.1982 always enjoy parades and it’s much better to view them through the eyes of children. The second generation is now at it, as grandson Brad was on the Pre School float. I enjoyed going to both craft bazaars (probably more than they enjoyed having me. as I’m not a big spender’). Thanks to all who made both events possible. Ken, Vicky Bremer and children had Sunday din­ ner with us. The Prairie neighbors add their congratulations to Clifford and Jennie Davis on the occasion of their 60th Wedding Anniversary next Tuesday. What a goal to put before those of us who think we’re doing so great at 40, 30. or even five years of marriage!

Recent legislation allows the school district to petition the local collecting agencies (townships, and then counties) to collect half of the property taxes in the fall and half in the summer. A hearing has been set to discuss the possibility when the TK Board of Education meets on Monday. January 3, according to Superintendent Gerald Michelle Hurst (left) and Toni Owen Page. Page stated that a mid year collection of half of the property taxes would avoid the expense of borrowing money by the district. If the townships (and there are 11 townships that collect TK property taxes) do not wish to collect the summer tax, the counties may be petitioned to do so. If they choose not to, the school district itself can then set up the collection system.

TK Students to Conduct Research Caledonia Student Wins ‘Citizen Bee’ Seek Volunteers to Counsel Older People on Taxes The Caledonia effort of the nationwide TaxAide/TCE Program is recruiting volunteers to serve as tax counselors to older persons for the 1983 tax season Tax-Aide is a community service of the American Association of Retired Persons working in cooperation with the IRS. It provides free income tax help to older taxpayers in preparing their retur­ ns, according to Kingsley Miller, coordinator for the Caledonia program Miller said that persons volunteering to serve as counselors should have a sincere interest in serving older adults and have a good knowledge of tax mat­ ters. They should also be willing to participate in an Internal Revenue Service training course and agree to devote at least four hours a week to providing tax counseling. Volunteer counselors do not have to be members of A ARP. Miller pointed out that volunteers should be older persons since a unique Tax-Aide feature is emhasis on peer-group assistance. However, persons of any age are welcome. “Some of the best counselors are retired professionals.” Miller said. “Since the training course emphasizes tax benefits for older adults and not general tax return preparation, those volunteers who are already familiar with taxes have a head start and usually make better preparers. ” Miller explained that the IRS does not consider volunteer tax counselors such as those involved in Tax-Aide as “professional return preparers.” “Since our counselors don’t charge a fee for their service,” he said, “the IRS does not require them to sign returns or hold them responsible for under­ payment of taxes on the returns they assist with.” The IRS training course for volunteers will be held in January. The local Tax-Aide/TCE program will offer assistance to older residents at convenient locations from February 1 to April 15. More volunteers will be recruited this year than last since more counseling sites will be opened in an effort to reach more area residents in the older group.’* Persons interested in finding out more about TaxAide or in serving as a counelor should call Mr. Miller at 891-8684. �Middleville Sun and Caledonia News, Middleville, Michigan PAGE TWO THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16,1982 At Your Public Library obituaries By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistant ERNEST R.

News, am mm THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18.1982 Food Buy Lines: Seafood - an Abundant and Healthy Food Supply Shoppers will be seeing more fresh ocean fish and seafood in retail supermarkets. That’s especially good news for Michiganians and other Midwestern consumers who are far from the sources of supply. Several factors are responsible for the increased availability of fresh fish and other seafoods. Salt water fish and seafood supplies have been in­ creasing ever since America’s 200-mile limit went into effect in 1977. The earlier three-mile limit was, and is, regulated by the individual states, but from three miles to 200 miles out to sea. the federal government has jurisdiction over all fishing operations. As supplies of seafoods and salt water fish in­ creased, technology was developed to maintain the quality of fresh seafoods an additional two or three days. This enables Midwestern supermarket shop­ pers to get truly fresh seafoods that were previously Middleville VFW New Year's Eve Dance FRIDAY, DEC. 31,1982 . "ROSE CANYON" 2^ Band Starts 9:00 P.M. Food served at 11 P.M. ^FAVORS FURNISHED 120.00 Donation per couple includes Beer, Food & Mix unavailable. Fish is also becoming more popular with health­ conscious Americans. Fish is high in protein, minerals and vitamins but relatively low in fats. The fat that is present in fish has a generous propor­ tion of polyunsaturated fats. A key dilemma that remains is how to familiarize American consumers with the abundance of seafood from domestic waters, particularly the less well known species. Unfamiliar shellfish do not present to great a problem — zoological families are usually similar in edibility characteristics. A snow crab may not be exactly like an Alaskan king crab, but they both have a similar taste and texture. Fin fish, however, are grouped according to body structure. This makes coho salmon a member of the trout family, English sole a flounder, and walleye a perch! To help clear up the confusion, the National Marine Fisheries Service has developed edibility profiles that rate seafood on eating characteristics such as flakiness, color of flesh, moistness, flavor, and fat content. Look for pamphlets giving storage, preparation and cooking tips where you shop for fish. Consumers who live 1,000 miles from the nearest ocean have relied on frozen and canned fish products. Fish sticks and fish portions are two of the most affordable and convenient frozen products. Sticks are cut from frozen blocks, coated with batter, breaded, partially cooked and frozen. They are ready to heat and serve as purchased. Portions are wider pieces, also cut from frozen blocks of fish. Raw por­ tions must be at least 75 percent fish, while cooked oortions and sticks must contain 65 percent fish (a maximum of 35 percent breading). Uncooked, breaded shrimp must be 65 percent shrimp (a maximum of 35 percent breading). Cooked, breaded shrimp must be at least 50 percent shrimp in weight. Canned tuna is the most widely used canned fish. The price of tuna is determined by the species, style of pack and the packing liquid. Flaked or grated light meat tuna in vegetable oil is generally the lowest-price pack. It is ideal for canapes and san­ dwiches (where tuna is blended into a paste). tk school menus High SchooVMiddle School Menu Week of December 20 Monday: Ham/Cheese on bun. baked beans, ap­ plesauce, milk.

The Booth Insurance and Gene Poll Realty em­ ployees and their families celebrated Christmas Pre arranged Funerals In recent years, there has been a greatly increased interest in pre-arranged funeral services. People are realizing the need to record their wishes on funeral services for themselves. They recognize that this takes away the difficult burden of decision making later during the hour of need and assures the family of doing the right things within proper budgets. For some time, this funeral home has recognized the needs and desires of thinking persons to plan ahead. I have developed ways of assisting those who wish to make arrangements in advance. Our funeral home has Quite a lot of families who have so recorded their plans and wishes with us They appreciate the opportunity to make these wishes known. Most people have definite ideas about the ser­ vices they wish for themselves; specific details such as the minister, the musk and scripture readings, flowers, costs, etc. They don't have to pre-plan their funerals, but they know it’s a good feeling when it 's done and the family won't have to worry about it! There are three reasons to pre-plan your funeral Economy — You can save money when you pre­ plan by stipulating only as much in service and mer­ chandise as you wish. Personal Choices — You can choose your own clergyman, music, scripture and the kind of service, down to the smallest detail. Inner Security1— It is a weight off your mind, knowing that your arrangements are complete, and the costs will not be a burden to your family. In invite you to visit or call about pre-planning your funeral service. There are no costs or obligations, and you don’t even have to pre-pay your funeral to have your wishes made known.

Michigan THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16,1982 Home for the Holidays LETTERS Navy Petty ‘Officer 2nd Class Chuck Bedford, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. Max Bedford, and his wife Pat will return home this week from San Diego for the Christmas holidays.

To the Editor: I would like to lodge a complaint on behalf of the horse people of the community. For numerous years we have had several organizations of horsemen par­ ticipating in the various parades. However, when the paper publishes the articles and photos, it has not, to my knowledge, listed the names of these organizations, and rarely any pictures are published of the horseback riders. I feel they should receive recognition as the other entries do. and how about a photo or two of them next time? Jean Ford, President Double D Trail Riders Editor's Note: The writer has a point, well taken. Last week a number of photos that we took of the parade were crowded out, and one of them was the horse folks. We publish their photo this week and on behalf of the community, thank them for their faith­ ful participation in the parades through the years. As far as listing the organizations that participate, we must rely on the people sponsoring the events to get that information to us.

Softly the leaves of memory fall Gently we gather and treasure them all. Unseen, unheard, you are always near, Still loved, still missed, and still very dear. Lynn and Luana Tolan Marty, Kevin and Jon Gail and Tina Williams Trisha, Amber, Gwen Ardeema Williams MEMORIAM In memory of Floyd Crumback who passed away December 27, 1971. Time heals all I've heard them say, but never has there been a day Without a twinge of sudden pain, A wish that you were here again. From how you made the world seem bright. You knew just how to set things right. Sincere and true in his heart and mmd. Few in this world his equal you'd find.

News. Middleville. MkhigM PAGE TWO THURSDAY. DECEMBER 16,1962 At Your WB ~ \ Public Library OI u yr I By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistant Most of us take good health for granted. When we are sick or hurt, we concentrate on getting well. However, many doctors are now recommending that we take precautions to remain healthy. By the time an illness is detec­ ted the damage is often irreparable. Studies have been done and conclusions drawn that one can prevent many diseases and retard others. It’s time we ask ourselves whether we have the determination, the knowledge and the will to lead healthy lives. Several books have been written recently regarding health. Some of them deal with detection of disease, some with how to live with specific diseases and others with how to prevent the diseases. With all these excellent resources, don’t let lack of knowledge be your excuse for risking illness. Let’s face it, there is at times a little bit of hypochondria in all of us. The most trivial symptoms can lead to thoughts of terminal disease. The book Symptoms edited by Miller, can relieve these fears. This reference book can quickly enlighten the reader to whether the symptoms are unimportant, potentially serious, or serious. If and when you do duffer an illness or in­ jury, the book Second Opinion by Isadora Rosenfeld, M.D., tells why, when and where to ask for a second medical opinion. The opinion of more than one doctor is becoming advisable and acceptable to most people. If you don’t suffer from allergies, you are lucky. They are one of the most irritating maladies ever known to mankind. Fortunately my allergies are seasonal and I don’t have to deal with them all of the time. For the unlucky ones, who do have allergies to contend with, I recommend The Best Guide to Allergy. Com­ mon allergies, foods to avoid, medication available and how to deal with symptoms are all dealt with in this book. .... and Leaving No Tracks A WOMAN'S WHIRL Unfortunately, more and more people are affected with high blood pressure. The good news is that people are more aware of the problem and steps can be taken to live with the disease. The Complete Family Guide to Living with High Blood Pressure provides a guideline for dealing with hypertension effectively. A full, active life is possible if you follow the rules. This book will tell you the rules. You can’t deny it any longer. There are too many studies and too much evidence. Many illnesses are preventable. Most doctors are aware of two basic problems. First, the American diet leads to high incidence of heart attacks, strokes and high blood pressure. Second, the lack of exercise leads to higher in­ cidence of these same diseases. Take a look at these books: Tune in To Health by Felice and Carolan. Diet Against Disease by Martin and Tenenbaum. Providing you begin healthy eating and exercising soon, the risk of disease will be reduced. Most Americans need re-educating in the eating and fitness department. Correction can only begin with education. We have the means to educate you. Begin a healthy lifestyle. The big day for resolutions is not far away.

USE SUN AND NEWS CLASSIFIEDS! / �THURSDAY. DECEMBER 23,1982 PAGE THREE Calling All Snow Sculptors Holy F amily F ire Smokes Church A fire, believed to have started by a burning can­ dle, ha3 temporarily closed the sanctuary of the Holy Family Catholic Church in Caledonia for a massive clean-up job. About 7:30 Sunday morning, Father Gregg went from the rectory to the church and discovered thick, black smoke billowing out as he unlocked the door. At the time there were flames near the altar shooting up about three feet high. The pastor phoned the Caledonia Fire Depar­ tment, and by 8:30 a.m., the fire was extinguished. As the smoke was cleared from the building, it was found that the advent wreath near the altar burned, and the carpeting in that area was badly burned. Everything in the sanctuary was covered with black sooty smoke, including the wood beam ceiling, brick walls, pews, carpet, hymnals — everything! The massive clean-up job began Monday morning with workmen bringing in scaffolding to reach the ceiling. There was smoke damage to the adjoining halls, but not as bad as in the sanctuary. Services for Christmas and this Sunday have been moved to the Caledonia High School gym­ nasium. Sven Bunyan (shirt-tail relation to Paul) along with his faithful holstein bull. Lotta. were in the Middleville area last Saturday where they cut the wood for the raffle being conducted by the local Rotary Club. Sven ad­ vised that the club should award a “generous cord” to the winner and so. following standar­ ds set years ago in the north woods of Min­ nesota by his paternal cousin thrice removed, Paul, the amount of wood cut is exactly 9,216 cubic inches larger than a full cord (4x4x8’) of wood. Sven will be in Middleville again on January 25, 1983, to draw the winning ticket and to meet his many friends and admirers. Buy your tickets before the supply runs out! Tickets are available from any Rotanan or at Verlinde Chevrolet-Buick, Rau's Hardware, Middleville Variety Store, or The Sun and News. If you’ve always had a yen to try your hand at snow sculpturing, here’s your chance. The second Annual Gun Lake Winter Festival, February 4, 5, 6, is challenging ar­ tists to dabble in the icy medium and deep freeze whatever whimsical subject comes to mind. It’s all in fun, but there are trophies too for those mittened Michaelangeos who capture the fancy of the judges. According to snow-sculpture chairperson, Joan Weick, most of the statuary will be located at the parking lot area on the south­ west side of the lake (intersections of 124th Avenue and Patterson). However, area residents who wish to adorn their yards or places of business are also eligible for com­ petition. They must register their entry prior to the judging. Trophies will be awarded in two categories: Individual and School. Any topic may be ex­ plored, although contestants are urged to think of the Winter Festival theme. Contestants may begin sculpting the first week in February (or earlier at their own homes)_ Judging will begin at noon, February 4. The two winning sculptures will be identified by a sign, and plaques will be presented at the awards ceremony February 6. Maps will be available for those who wish to view the snowsculptures while they are en­ joying the Winter Festival. “I’m very pleased with the response so far,’’ Joan said. Of those schools contacted, three, Allegan. Wayland and Martin, had indicated their intention to compete. “A number of lake residents are also planning to join in the fun. And of course, we are anxious for more schools to give it a try!" she added. For moreinformation, or to enter the snow sculpting, write to Joan Weick, 11402 Oak, Gun Lake, Shelbyville, MI 49344. Or call 6725242 or 672-7140. Entries will be accepted up to the day before judging, but late entries may not be shown on the tour map. The Snow Sculpturing contest is one of many activities scheduled for the three day Gun Lake Winter Festival. Other events plan­ ned on February 4, 5 and 6 are an ice fishing contest, snowmobile races, cross country ski races, dog sled races, a parade, a softball tour­ nament, ice-golf, and special activities for the youngsters, including a BMX bicycle race on the ice. As many as 10,000 people are expected to attend the 1983 Gun Lake Winter Festival.

EXTENDED WEAR CONTACT LENSES Mr. and Mrs. J. Irvin Rodgers Celebrate 35 Years Thirty five years of marriage will be celebrated by J. Irvin and Flora Rodgers of Alto on New Years Day. Family and friends are invited to share in the celebration by at­ tending an open house to be held at the Rodgers’ home, Sunday, January 2, from 2 - 4 p.m. Please, may love and friendship be your gift With the utilization of new technology and materials, an extended wear contact lens has been developed. The FDA has approved this lens to be worn for up to two weeks before having to remove it from the eye for cleaning, though some doctors are reporting the lenses being worn for a month at a time. This opens a new range of possibilities for those who could not wear the daily soft or hard lens. Post cataract surgery patients, weekend campers, and those whose job takes them on the road for a few days are among those who have benefited from this lens. There are, however, a few points that need to be understood when considering the extended wear lens: • The lens is more expensive than a daily wear con­ tact lens. • The average life of a lens is about 6-12 months. • Not everyone can wear the lens for 2 weeks at a time. • The lenses are more fragile than the daily wear contact lenses. • These lenses require a more comprehensive follow-up care program. • Available only in limited prescriptions. If you are considering a lens of this type, talk to your optometrist and/or opthalmologist to see if the lens would be in your best interest.

Michigan Michigan Leads the Nation in Christmas Tree Production No matter where you live in the United States, chances are your Christmas tree was grown in Michigan which leads the nation in the growing of plantation-grown Christmas trees The location, climate and soils of the state are well suited to the production and distribution of quality Christmas trees. The value of last year’s crop was pegged at 50 million dollars and growers anticipate a record crop this year. Of the annual national harvest of 29 million trees, nearly 14%, or approximately 4 million trees, come from Michigan plantations located in many different areas of the state. Some trees are produced on lands owned and managed by large national companies while others are harvested from small plantations which comprise only a por­ tion of a larger farm operation. To produce the average 6 to 7 foot Scotch pine, an average of seven to nine years is required. For VILLAGE BEAUTY NOOK featuring Complete Styling for Men and Women species such as Douglas fir or Colorado blue spruce, ten to twelve years may be needed, although this time can be reduced with intensive management practices. The actual time required will be influen­ ced by soil type, cultural and management prac­ tices. shearing practices, and geographic origin of the seed. In general, growth rates are slightly faster on trees grown in the southern portion of the lower peninsula than for those growing in more northern regions. Most Christmas trees produced in plantations are sheared annually, beginning when the trees are about three feet tall. Shearing must continue through the year of harvest to produce a quality tree. It is done for two principle reasons: 1) to develop a uniform, characteristic shape and taper to the tree, and 2) to thicken the foliage of the tree as a result of promoting added bud and twig formations. Once the proper size has been reached, harvesting begins in mid-to-late October in large commercial plantations in the northern part of the state. Har­ vesting continues through mid December or until all trees are harvested. Since small producers have fewer total trees tro harvest, they can begin and complete the harvest later, which is a distinct ad­ vantage in producing high quality, fresh trees for local markets.

The telephone company is predicting Michigan residents will ring up 1.5 million long distance calls Christmas day — about one million within the state and 500,000 to places outside Michigan. Since Christmas is traditionally the phone company's busiest holiday, Michigan Bell is advising customers to make their long distance calls during less busy hours, according to Michigan Bell corporate affairs manager Richard L.

If a call does not go through on the first attempt, he urged callers to wait a few minutes before trying again., "And, if you don't have the phone number you need for a long distance call, get it from directory assistance before the holiday rush,” Strauss added.

Middleville returns to action on Friday, January 7 following Christmas break. The con­ test will be played at Kelloggsville against the Rockets. The Thornapple Kellogg Trojan varsity basketball squad continued its give-away style last Friday night, allowing turnovers to give the Hawkeyes of Hamilton a 54-49 win. The loss drops the Orange to a second place tie with a 2-1 league record. Senior Brian Miller headed the Trojan scoring column with 15 points on a 64 percent field goal shooting effort while classmate Jeff Kerber added 12. The assist department was led by guard Jim Schipper who collected 11 score-resulting passes. Poor shooting, lack of rebounding, and an overabundance of turnovers spelled defeat for the Trojans. As a team, TK shot just 39 per­ cent from the floor and committed 20 tur­ novers. Nobody hit double figures in reboun­ ding for Middleville, with the team leaders, Kerber and Dave Perry pulling down only seven apiece. The Trojans would like to wish all their fans a Merry Christmas as they take a break for the holiday season. TK will be back in uniform on Friday. January 7, to take on the league­ leading Rockets of Kelloggsville at Kelloggsville. TK Wrestlers Place 4th in Invitational The TK Wrestling team spent last Saturday at Ford Field House in grand Rapids wrestling in the Kent County Invitational. The Trojans wrestled very well placing 6th in the nineteen team field. Nine Trojans earned points for the team’s total of 93Vi. Winning matches were Del Craven, Tim Hooer, Brent Cisler and Mark Lloyd. Nathan Briggs and Randy Winchester placed 5th in their weights. Jack Posthumus won his first two matches before being defeated, placing him 4th. Chris Yonkers wrestled well in making it in­ to the finals of the 155 lb. class where he met Mike Riemersma of Kelloggsville. After 14 straight wins, Chris was dealt his first loss of the year, placing him 2nd. Marty Sinke was TKs only champion, win­ ning the 112 lb. championship from Bernie Vlamming of Kelloggsville 3-1. During the match Marty was banged in the nose causing a severe nosebleed. The match had to be stopped several times to get the bleeding under control. Even while hurt. Marty showed the same smooth workmanship that has won him 126 matches to only 9 losses in his career. Marty’s only losses in the past three years have come in State final action. Junior Varsity Falls To Hudsonville Middleville’s Junior Varsity basketball team, despite a decent performance, fell to the Hamilton Hawkeyes last Friday for the Trojans' first league loss. The contest was tight right down to the final seconds with the final score 67-65. Dave Karel and Steve Miller paced the Orange and Black, scoring 21 and 27 points respectively, and combining for 20 rebounds. Miller also picked up five assists as did Eric Hannapel and Tom Schwartz. TK connected on 53 percent of its shots from the floor and 52 percent of its free tosses. PEPSI HOLIDAY SAVINGS! ■■ ■■ AM WlH ■ 7^ IM When you buy TWO 1/2-liter 8-packs of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi.

The Trojans started very slow and fell behind at the end of the first quarter 6-2, and by halftime were trailing 20-10. As the second half started the Trojans began to overcome fir­ st game jitters as they began to cut into Hud­ sonville’s lead. As the final quarter started the Trojans began to close on Hudsonville and with less than one minute to play had a chance to close up within 2 points, but failed. Hudson­ ville sank 7 of 8 free throws in the closing minutes to seal their victory. Leading the scoring for the Trojans were Doug Fox 16, Randy Stickney 15, Mark Verlinde 2, Kurt Henry 2 and Scott Rodgers 1. The 8th Grade B team did not fare any bet­ ter in their game, losing to Hudsonville 31-23. They stayed close early in the game but Hud­ sonville slowly pulled away. Scoring for the Trojans were Matt Biermacher 8, Rod Innes 5. Mark Drenton 4, Scott Rodgers, Doug DeVries and Dan DeMorrow all had 2 each. Take Hopkins, 36 - 27 The eighth grade team evened their season record to 1-1 by defeating Hopkins 36-27 on December 14. The Trojans again started slow and commit­ ted a number of turnovers but were able to draw even 17-17 at half time. After halftinme the Trojans began to play much better and took a 26-20 lead going into the final quarter Randy Stickney sank 6 for 6 free throws and the entire team played much better defense in the closing minutes to help seal the victory. Leading the scoring for the Trojans were Ran­ dy Stickney 17 points, Mark Verlinde 6, Scott Rodgers 6, Kurt Henry 5 and Doug Fox 2. Hamilton Falls, 31-13 The 8th grade basketball team improved their record to 2-1 with a 31-13 victory over Hamilton on December 17. The Trojans star­ ted slow and could not buy a basket until late in the first quarter. Hamilton could do no bet­ ter and th Trojans held a slim 3-0 first quarter lead. Things began to improve in the second quarter as the Trojans poured in 13 points to take a commanding 16-4 halftime lead. As the third quarter progressed, the Trojans con­ tinued to increase their lead by outscoring Hamilton 10-2 to post a 26-6 third quarter lead. The substitutes played even with Hamilton through the fourth quarter to finish the game 31-13. Leading the scoring were Randy Stickney 15 points, Kurt Henry 5, Mark Verlinde 4, Scott Rogers 3, Doug Fox 2 and Rod Innes 2. The B team posted their first victory of the season in a 30-25 win over Hamilton. The team fell behind in the first quarter 6-3 but caught fire in the second.

Middleville, Michigan Food Buy Lines: Turkey Becoming Christmas Time Tradition The best meat value for Christmas could very likely be turkey. Other poultry choices are goose, duck, capon or rock comish hens. Of course, roast goose features prominently in Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” It’s hard for us to believe that roast goose was once the American holiday favorite that it still is in WALLFT $io°.bo • Checkbook ww Calculator $20.00 k reg. $30 00 Latatf Stan WaiM JEANS CHEENO $26.00 £ ALL HOLIDAY ATTIRE CHRISTIANS CALEDONIA VILLAGE CENTER Closed 3p.m. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve HOLIDAY HOURS: MON., TUES. 10 to 5:30 WED.-SATURDAY 10 to 9 England, France and Germany. Young geese for roasting can be bought oven ready. A young goose is under six months old and will have a ready-to-cook weight of four to six pounds. Duck also is traditional but often forgotten holiday fare. Most ducks are sold ready to cook in frozen form. Birds weigh from three to six pounds, with four pounds about average. Geese and ducks can be purchased in many larger supermarkets during the Christmas season. They are usually sold frozen. This enables the limited number of producers to put aside enough birds for the heavy holiday demand. Shoppers should be aware that both geese and ducks are fatter than turkeys or broilers. One might theorize that mother nature inven­ ted self-basting — the fat between the skin and the meat in these birds does just that during roasting. As a result, cooked goose and duck are very moist and flavorful. There is a great deal of fat and bone in proportion to lean meat so allow one pound more of goose or duck for each person. It is desirable to cook both goose and duck on a roasting rack to hold the meat out of the grease. Cooking a goose or duck may call for special provisions, but the serving is simplified. That’s because goose and duck are composed of all dark meat — even the breast. Turkeys will also be located in the freezer, possibly next to the frozen ducks and geese. The supermarket may feature a turkey for 70 or 80 cent per pound this holiday. More expen­ sive birds, perhaps basted with butter, will also be available at most large supermarkets. The highest priced turkey will still prove to be less costly on a per-serving basis than either duck or goose. That’s because turkeys have so much more meat in proportion to fat, skin and bone. When purchasing whole, ready-to-cook turkeys under 12 pounds, allow % to 1 pound per serving. You need allow only l/i to 3/< pound per serving if you buy a bird weighing over 12 pounds. Thaw frozen turkeys, ducks and geese on a tray in the refrigerator. It will take one to four days, depending on the frozen temperature of the bird, the size of the bird and the tem­ perature of the refrigerator. Once thawed, cook the bird within two days. «er»y°ttttoe ^un^Rkaietydep°si . «otn«’snCXey-tnaJtUe Regardless of the meat you select for Christmas dinner or any other meal, cooking it properly will enable you to realize greater value from your purchase. In oven roasting, two practices will save money and enable you to serve better meat: ruasi meat at temperatures between 300 and 325 degrees and use an oven thermometer for all roasts and whole birds. This will eliminate overcooking just to be sure it’s done. Unstuf­ fed poultry should be cooked until the ther­ mometer registers 180 to 185 degrees F.

I have just returned from visiting A World of Trees at the University of East Tennessee located here in Johnson City and it was such a fantastic tour that I need to share it with you people from home. The show takes place in the huge library building and 16 countries are represented. They are calling it the international theme in keeping with the Worlds Fair that took place in Knoxville this past year. Most of the or­ naments that decorate the tree are hand made by local groups or purchased from the coun­ tries that they represent. One cannot pick a favorite as each one has its own personality, but the one from Denmark called the "love tree" was especially attractive with hand made red and white paper hearts with white streamers cascading from the treetop. Holland is decorated in blue and white velvet miniature wooden shoes and windmills and skaters with a huge blue and white bow for the tree top. Iceland is all in white, all hand made of knit­ ted, crocheted or tatted ornaments and streamers, all stiffly starched. Those three held my interest the longest length of time, but all of the remaining coun­ tries were outstanding as each one stood high in its decorated splendor in the huge im­ pressive room and halls of the library. Free entertainment is being furnished each day of the exhibit by several outstanding dan­ cing and singing groups, most being students of the college and school children are being bussed in from all areas around here to see and hear about this World of Trees. We had a 6 inch snowfall of beautiful white last Saturday and Sunday most church ser­ vices and gatherings were cancelled due to the road conditions. It was like a fairy land and the children simply love it, but it is leaving us fast with 45 to 50 degree temperatures in the day time. The city becomes paralyzed until nature takes it away.

A CHRISTMAS WISH What can we wish for you at Christmastime? Gifts of diamonds and gold? Rich and exotic treasures? Everyone appreciates presents like that, and we hope you receive your share of them this Christmas. But the things we truly wish for you cannot be held in the hand and admired. Or worn. Or used. They are not sold in stores. They are far too precious for money to buy. What we hope for you this Christmas is peace of mind, love, and joy. May you spend your holidays in the company of those you cherish, happy and contented as you share the traditions and pleasures of the season. We ask that through the Spirit of Christmas you know the true, full and lasting joy of this most blessed of times, and that each of your Christmases be happier than the one before. We cannot buy these things and put them underneath your tree with the other gaily wrapped gifts. And so we pray that our Christmas wish may be a blessing upon you and those you love.

The TK Board of Education tabled a resolution asking for a 50% collection thia summer to a special meeting to be held on Monday, January 31. The board must petition the township boards to collect the tax no later than February 1. At the meeting this Monday, the TK Board (with three members absent because of illness), heard comments from various township officials and citizens concerning the summer tax proposal. Superintendent Gerald Page indicated that the school would be in a much better “cash flow” position if half of the annual taxes were collected in the summer. As it now stands, reported Page, the school has to borrow money in anticipation of the property taxes, and thereby must pay a high in­ terest rate for this money. 'Phis past summer the school borrowed over 1600,000 to meet expenses un­ til revenues came in. Page stated that the poor payment schedule of state aid monies also com­ plicates the matter. Under the proposal for a summer tax collection, the tax bills would go out in July and have a payment deadline of September 1 before they would be delinquent. The winter tax schedule would remain the same as it is now. Township officials present (from Thomapple, Ir- How Do YOU Feel About a Summer Tax? There is a prospect that property owners in both Thomapple Kellogg School district and Caledonia Community School district may be asked to pay half of their school tax in the summertime. What is your feeling about this proposal? Here is an opportunity to communicate your wishes to the respective school boar­ ds, by returning the "ballot" below. You may want to clip it to a letter explaining why you "voted"as you did. Mail it to the President of the Board of Education, TK School, Middleville, MI 49333 or President of the Board of Education, Caledonia Community Schools, Caledonia, MI 49316. Perhaps your viewpoint will help the Boards of Education make their decision before the end of this month. [ | YES, I would favor paying 50% of my school taxes in the summer. NO, I would prefer the school tax collection remain in the winter, as is now done. ving and Yankee Springs) expressed concerns about changing the tax collection timing. Some wondered TK Board to Decide Issue January^ 31 if people would have the funds to pay a summer tax without resorting to borrowing. Under the new law, the school district and the townships (there are eleven in the TK district) must negotiate a collection cost. If they are unable to agree, the school and the county will have an opportunity to negotiate for the county to collect the tax. If that fails, the school district itself then can collect the tax directly from the taxpayer. Senior citizens present at the meeting expressed concern that they would have to wait until the end of the year to file for their property tax refund from BILLBOARD COMING EVENTS IN THE LOCAL AREA Caledonia Womens Club The Caledonia Womens Club will meet at Lodema Schroeders next week January 13. Arlene Hodgkin­ son will have the program on legislation. Please note the date. the State. This would put some senior citizens on fixed incomes in the position of having to borrow money to pay their summer tax. Farmers present wanted to know if they would be liable for payment of the summer tax. It was poin­ ted out that the law would exempt farmers if they chose to be and would pay their entire tax at the winter collection time. Board members felt that during this month of January they would be given more time to hear citizen input and have a better understanding of the summer tax proposal before making a decision. Caledonia to Hear Summer Tax Idea At Jan. 18 Meeting The Caledonia Community Schools Board of Education will be conducting a hearing on Tuesdav, January 18, for the purpose of discussing a summer tax collection in their school district. According to Superintendent Stan Fortuna, the Caledonia meeting has been set so that the board may make a decision by February 1, the deadline date for collecting taxes the summer of 1983. There are 10 townships that are currently collecting taxes for the school system. The hearing is scheduled for 8 p.m. in the Board of Education offices on Main Street.

(my hand is up). As I see it, and I'm no economist (or my hand wouldn't be up), the problem may be any one of the following or a com­ bination: 1) You spent too much money on Christmas 2) You are out of work 3) You have no idea how to budget 4) Your income does not cover your debts 5) Your small business is not profitable 6) Your investments are losing money Personally, I answered affirmative for items 1 through 4. Ive never had enough money to invest in anything (except maybe a raffle ticket), let alone a small business. This, therefore, is going to be one of those columns I pay heed to my own advice. My ad­ vice? Get educated in this department. How? Visit the Public Library and check out appropriate books. Let ’s begin at the beginning. Most of us destitute individuals have no idea how to plan a budget or how to stick to it. Both of these books; Everyone's Money Book by Jane Bryant Quinn and New Money Book for the 80s by Sylvia Porter start with budgeting. They also cover saving, lending, borrowing, insuring, divorcing and investments. These are the books to consult if you are contem­ plating a major purchase or an investment. If you are going to spend a lot of money it can't possibly hurt to get all the facts, information and advice before you buy. A problem that has to do with an increased num­ ber of people every day is finding a job. Admittedly, budgeting is almost impossible when you have no income. Selling Yourself into the Right Job by Stuart Hirst explains everything from goal setting to interviews. Any edge you can currently get is definitely a help. An alternative to job seeking is job creating if you have a marketable product and the right personality. Ted Schwarz outlines these ideas in his book. The Successful Promoter. He offers good suggestions for those who want to start a business with very little capital. If you do decide to start your own small business, knowledge of bookkeeping is essential. Practical Bookkeeping for the Small Business by Mary Lee Dyer can teach you the basics. It might be able to save you money and time, otherwise spent on college or high school classes. Without this knowledge, running a small business could be very risky. Finally, if you are not one of the poor ones and would like to make a major purchase such as a car, house, piece of property, etc., chances are good that you will have to borrow money. Borrowing money is not as easy as it once was. The book. Help - The Basics of Borrowing Money by Gross and Cullen is very helpful. The authors discuss credit establish­ ment, how to talk to loan officers and how to con­ solidate debts. With all this information and advice, don't hesitate to organize your budget This is one subject you can’t afford to be misinformed about. It doesn’t cost you anything to check these books out.

Bob and Helen Wenger enjoyed having their family with them on Christmas Eve. The following Surveys size up heating bills Gas heat still cheapest With the arrival of winter, many Michigan residents are keeping one wary eye on the weather and the other on their heating bills. Whether they see good or bad news depends largely on which heating fuel they use, and who their fuel supplier is. Natural gas heats more Mich­ igan homes—about 70 percent— than any other fuel. It also is the cheapest of the conventional heating fuels. For example, Consumers Power Company estimates that the total 1982 gas heating bill will be about 1570 for the typical size single-family home in its service area. Heating that same house with oil would cost about $1,080, or 89 percent more. Using pro­ pane would cost about $1,110, or 95 percent more. Unless insula­ tion is greatly increased, an elec­ tric heating system would cost $1,260, more than twice the cost of heating with natural gas. In Michigan, natural gas is pro­ vided by 10 utility companies. An October survey that compared rates from nine of the firms shows that at most consumption levels. Consumers Power’s residential gas customers have the lowest heating bills in the state. Most of Consumers Powers commercial and industrial cus­ tomers are also paying less than they would for comparable gas volumes purchased from any of the other eight utilities, ac­ cording to the survey. The company’s typical cus­ tomer also is paying less to keep warm than he would in any of the country’s 25 largest cities, ac­ cording to a survey completed this month. The survey compares bills for 25 Mcf of natural gas Consumers Power’s bill is almost 11 percent cheaper than the cost in Memphis, the least expensive large city. It is 85 PAGE THREE MiddkviBe Sob mm!

Christmas morning we made quick visits to our local families to see trees and take pictures - that was fun. And in the afternoon most all of the family were with us for the lovely confusion of Christmas. Ruth Klump spent both Christmas and New Years Day with daughter and family, Mabel and George Foote. Bill and Mary Klump and family came over on Sunday and granddaughter Laurie spent a few days with Ruth, returning home when her family came to visit on New Years Eve. Ruth and Loretta Clark of Caledonia ate out together on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Steiner hosted their annual “Grandchildren's slumber party" on New Years Eve, and other supper guests that night were the Tim Estes family and Tim’s mother, the Bruce Steiner family and Emily VanMatre. The Phil Bender family were at the Bloems on Sunday night for a going away party for Jeff Cum­ mings who is leaving for the Navy. Cindy Wenger said they had a different kind of New Years Eve party. It was Mart’s turn for milking, so the guests were fellow farmers who could give a hand. The men also went to one of the others’ farms for the 4 a.m. milking. The Mike Bremers spent Christmas Eve and the day with Katy’s folks in Muskegon and enjoyed visiting with her sister Jennie and fiance from Min­ neapolis and sister Lorie from Ferris State. Joanne VanPutten’s brother, Mr. and Mrs. David Heller and family of Amarillo, Texas, spent a week here over the holidays, (they left snow in Texas to come up to our mild weather!) The VanPuttens were New Years Eve guests of the Jones family at Cobb Lake. Tom and I, Dann and Francy Tobin and children drove up to Shepherd on Friday for a holiday visit with Dave, Colleen and Zak Bremer. Always a good time - and good food!

JANUARY 6.1983 Doornbos’ Celebrate Silver Anniversary TK SEVENTH GRADE BASKETBALL TK 43- Hamilton 31, TK 19- Hamilton 18 The TK 7th grade basketball team defeated a scrappy Hamilton team to remain undefeated after 3 games. The high scoring Trojans opened up a 2313 lead at the half and widened it to 30-17 after three quarters. The final score was 43-31. The young Trojans are averaging 44 points per game for the first three games. Leading the scoring was Tim Mesecar, scoring a season high 16 points, followed by Brian Verlinde and Ross Sprague 11 points, Dave Elies and Jandt Herweyer 2, and Brad VanSickle 1. Rebounding duties were held down by Mesecar, Verlinde, Elies and DeYoung. Ross Sprague and Jeff Page did fine jobs of controlling the ball and assisting on baskets. Brad VanSickle and Herweyer also handled the ball well breaking the Hamilton pass. Unlike the A game, the B game was a real thriller. The Trojans held a 15-8 lead at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Middleville Planning Commission 1 2 Cataracts are a clouding of the clear lens of the eye. This causes distortion of the light entering the eye and causes blurred vision. They are most often found in persons age 55 and over, but can also occur in younger persons, even infants at birtn. The cause of cataracts is varied. Most often they are the result of the normal aging process. Some result from injury, specific diseases and exposure to toxic materials and radiation. If left undetected and untreated, cataracts can lead to blindness. However, most cases of blindness can be prevented through early detection, eventual removal of the cataract and post surgical use of eyeglasses and/or contact lenses. There are many signs to look for when one suspects cataracts. A gradual painless decrease in vision, blurred or hazy spots before the eyes and double vision are among the first noticeable. Also a sudden improvement in vision at near distances for farsighted persons may indicate a cataract Presently, there is no proven method to prevent cataract Early detection, with careful follow up treatments are the only weapons SUN NITE MIXED January 2 Yankee four 4 0 Mean Rivs 4 0 Misfits 4 0 4Ws 3 1 High Rollers 3 1 Pit Crew 3 1 Sattelites 2 2 Engine, Eng. 2 2 Slow Starts 2 2 Loonev Tunes 2 2 SAS 1 3 Nice Guys 3 1 Pot Luck 1 3 Hot Dogs 0 4 Bold Gold 0 4 The Oops 0 4 Ladies high games and scores: Katie Wieringa. 179-515; N.

White pines reach 80 - 120’ in height and will attain a 2-3’ diameter. Needles are 2-4” long. The White Pine should be planted in shade up to 70%. Grows well on well drained sandy soils but does best on rich porous moist soils. The Honeysuckle is a fast growing shrub with dense, medium green foliage. On good sites it will branch extensively and reach a height of 8-10 feet. It will product red berries in 3-5 years after planting. It will grow on a wide variety of soils, clay loams to sandy soils. It will tolerate some shade but will product most fruit in full sun. Prices range from $8.00 to $20.00 for 50 and $75 to $350 for 1000. Intent of the District tree program, according to Beuschel. is to supply local property owners with trees and shrubs for wildlife areas, erosion control and windbreaks at a reasonable price. Order blanks and more information may be ob­ tained at the District Office, 3321 Plainfield or by calling Patti Stefans at 361-5345. Orders are to be filled on a first come, first serve basis with a deadline of April 1 for the program. Scots, Trojans Clash Friday What’s the term ...? Barnburner? That's what it could really turn out to be Friday night when Middleville takes on rival Caledonia at the TK gym. Both clubs are among four basketball teams in the OK Blue who have identical records at the top of the heap. Both teams have had flashes of brilliance and both have ex­ perienced dismal performances. But, past records seem to be tossed out the window when these two towns meet on the basketball floor. Better get there early for a good seat, ’cause fans will probably be hanging from the rafters! Blood Pressure Clinic This Week The Blood Pressure Clinic sponsored by the American Red Cross will be held next Tuesday mor­ ning, January 18, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the VFW Hall on Main Street, Middleville. All ages are welcome and there is no charge.

Blanchard’s office in Lan­ sing. Aid totalling $216 million due February 1 to kindergarten through 12th grade school systems has been “delayed, ” and this affects the TK school system. According to Gerald Page. TK district superin­ tendent. the payment due on Feb. 1 is $232,000. This represents about 5% of the local school budget. The governor has indicated that unless the finan­ cial picture changes for Michigan, the "delayed payment” may end up being a permanent cut in aid to the schools. What this means to the local school could mean a re-evaluation of the entire program, said Page. The four additional mills voted by the people last sum­ mer could be wiped out in lost state aid, he pointed out. Looking for a way to improve the school’s cash flow, the district board of education will decide on January 31 whether or not to ask the people for half of their property taxes. In related action on Monday night, the Thomapple Township board voted they would not choose to collect TK’s summer taxes if it is imposed. By a split vote of 3-2, the board instructed the clerk to write a letter to all board members indicating Thor­ napple’s position. Set Food Festival For February 21 The International Food Festival was so suc­ cessful last year that the TK Boosters have decided to do it again - only bigger and better! The Food Fest is scheduled for Saturday. February 12, starting at 4:30 p.m. in the Middle School gym. The cost will be $4 for adults, $2 for children under 12. and children under 3 can sample free. Several booths of ethnic cuisine are being plan­ ned. In addition, entertainment will be offered indiginous to many different countries. We need your assistance. Our Booster member­ ship has severely lessened in number, however our purpose and goals remain the same. Thus far this year the TK Boosters have monetarily supported 5th and 6th grade basketball, Jr. High cheerleading. Special Education, the High School Close-Up group. High school wrestling and golf. In addition, several volunteer workers are supplied for all athletic even­ ts, thereby saving the schools a considerable amount of money. If you would like to provide a food booth and show off your favorite family recipe, donate towards the cost of a food booth, provide some unique enter­ tainment or help in any way, please contact Blanche Munjoy, TK Booster president, as soon as possible, or attend our special meeting on January 31st, 7:30 p.m. in the Middle School cafeterial. The International Food Festival is enjoyed by the entire community, benefits our students, and is a fun day for the whole family.

The dictionary defines a hobby as a specialized pursuit that is outside one s regular profession that one enjoys doing. This means almost anything can be a hobby. Perhaps you would like to begin a new hobby or maybe become more knowledgeable about one you now enjoy. The Public Library has numerous instructive, detailed books that will make your hobby more enjoyable. Hobbies can be broken into two major categories: creating and collecting. People are collecting everything from old furniture to old pop bottles. Some collections are very valuable, others just fun. If collecting old items interests you The Catalog of American Collectibles by Ketchum and Garetti is a good book to consult. Some of the items covered in this book are: furniture, pottery, glassware, jewelry, clocks, and militaria. This guide has photographs and prices. Probably the most famous figurines in the world are the Hummels . The delightful little sculptures are collected by an increasing number of people. Hummel, the Complete Collector's Guide and Illustrated Reference by Ehrmann is a beautiful book concluding with color photographs of all Hummel ’s creations. This book is fun to look at even if you aren’t a Hummel collector Trading baseball cards has become one of the symbols of an All American kid. Some of those “kids" have traded and collected for the last fifty years. The Sports Collectors Bible by Bert Sugar explains trading cards, autographs, programs, ticket stubs as well as all the rest of sports memorabilia. He also assigns a value to each item. Maybe some of you already have a valuable collec­ tion and don’t even know it! Doll collecting is one of the fastest growing hobby interests today. The ABC's of Doll Collecting by John Schweitzer offers advice on what to look for and which dolls are the most collectable. He has suggestions for the collecting novice — how not to be taken advantage of. Many dolls look authentic but lack markings which make them valuable. I prefer to make, rather than collect. I’m always eager for new ideas, fun things to create. The Craft Book by Elliot covers pottery, patchwork, jewelry, beadwork, woodcarving and kite-making. In ad­ dition, let me mention that there are several books, too numerous to mention, which contain good ideas concerning: needlework, rug making, quilting and machine sewing (all my kind of books!). For those industrious souls who enjoy wood­ working, The Early American Furniture Maker's Manual by A. W. Marlow is brand new. It contains instructions for many unique furniture items such as spice boxes and spoon racks. How to Make Your Own Knives by Jim Mayes deals with a unique hobby. I didn’t even know that making knives at home was possible! Knife making, according to this author, allows you to be creative while practical. Photography is a hobby which is attracting many followers. After investing in equipment and processing - how about investing some time to per­ fecting the craft. The library owns the complete set (17 in all) of the Time Life Photography set. They cover everything from explaining equipment, lighting, film and composition. They are good sour­ ces of information, as well as beautiful books. At this time of year everyone needs a morale boost. Get out and create, collect or refinish. You will feel good when it’s all finished. The library has books on every hobby imaginable. If we don’t have it, we probably can borrow it from another library. I | JSuq Off PEST CONTROL, Inc.

JANUARY 13,1983 Leadership Development Program Sponsored by Kent Extension The Kent County Cooperative Extension Service is sponsoring a leadership development program for adults in Kent County. Its purpose is to help a diverse group of Kent County people become more effective organization and community leaders. This program has proven to be successful in other Michigan counties, and it is felt it can be successful in Kent. A Chance to Change is a group study/discussion program to expand leadership potential in Kent County.

Leadership requires knowledge of the structure and operation of organizations and government at all levels and an understanding of the people within. It also requires knowledge of key issues and problems which communities and residents are facing in the 1980's. Discussion workshops will be led by outstanding resource persons from Kent County and around the state — and include a variety of teaching methods, many involving your active participation. These ac­ tivities coupled with a travel experience will provide you a practical, lively and challenging experience in leadership development. Six informal educational sessions will provide you with a wide range of learning experiences. Topics kto be covered include: Self Improvement - group dynamics, people motivation, develop self-confidence, inter and in­ trapersonal communications and an understanding of basic values, beliefs and attitudes. Understanding your Community-City governnment, township government, county government, state government, county board of commissioners, and how schools are financed. Organizational Development - Improving your organization, problem identification and solving and group decision making. Leadership Development - Leadership styles, power in the community, and leadership roles in communities. You will have the opportunity to identify ad­ ditional topics that may be of specific interest to you. Men and women should apply who have interest in building leadership capacity and in developing their organization and community. A diverse group of Kent County people will be selected. Participants will be chosen by a committee com­ posed of local community leaders. They will consider your leadership potential, your interest in im­ proving your organization and community, and your willingness to devote the necessary time to the program.

Travel expense costs planned by the group will be the participant's responsibility. For more information, call Bill Harrison at the Kent County Cooperative Extension Office, 7743265. Income Tax Advice Available Free To Area Retirees Free income tax advice will be available for the Caledonia-Middleville area retirees starting Tuesday. February 1, through the Tax-Aide/TCE program of the American Association of Retired Persons and the Internal Revenue Service. Volunteer counselors trained by the Internal Revenue Service will operate a counseling desk in the Caledonia Library, 240 Emmons Street on Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 3 00 p.m. This service will be available from February 1 through April 15. Kingsley Miller, coordinator for the tax program, said the service is designed to help older persons understand the various income tax forms and become familiar with special benefits available to retirees. “Our counselors, many of whom are retired business people with considerable experience in tax matters, are equipped to prepare returns for older taxpayers,’’ Miller said. According to the area coordinator, past experien­ ce has indicated that many older persons are unaware of special benefits they are entitled to claim. Some may not even be required to file a return because of their limited income. Fifty-four volunteers have enrolled and plan to attend the school to receive the special I RS training and will be staffing the counseling desk. Persons utilizing the service should take with them the following: 1. Tax notices) and/or rent receipts for 1982 2. Amounts of Social Security and other public assistance received in 1982. 3. Pensions, interest and dividends received in 1982. 4. Record of 1982 wages or salaries. 5. Copies of last year ’s credit claims. 6. The previous year’s Federal and State income tax. Property owners and renters may both benefit from the Michigan Homestead Property and Heating credits. If the taxpayer must file a Michigan Incine tax, the Homestead and Heating credit claims must be filed with it. Permanent residents of nursing homes qualify for tax credit if they do not have another residence. USE SUN AND NEWS CLASSIFIEDS!

Michigan PAGEFOUR Extending Public Access for Hunters. The legislature voted to continue the southern Michigan program under which the DNR may lease land from private owners and make it accessible to hunters. To pay for the leases, public access stamps will be sold to hunters for $1.10, a lOcfee hike. My vote: yes. THURSDAY. JANUARY 13,1983 ment Board receives $1.6 million to assist the growing number of assault victims within the home.

Solid Waste Disposal Amendments. I supported a House-backed bill to clarify several provisions of the state law regulating the disposal of solid waste. While this measure eliminates some duplicate regulation, a major question over solid waste disposal remains unanswered: Will state or local go vemment pay the cost of complying with this act? STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STA TE REPRESENTA T1VE. 54th DISTRICT Re-Considering “Good Time". By the necessary three-fourths majority, the House and Senate modified the 1978 ballot proposal that had prohibited early release of prisoners because of good behavior. I supported legislation that will allow up to seven days’ reduction in sentence for each month a prisoner serves without committing a serious breach of discipline. Before 1978, a 22-day sentence reduction could be “earned’’ each month. A middle­ ground approach is needed as an incentive for good prison behavior and to ease prison overcrowding. More Local Control. Under current law, the state regulates the size and spacing of billboards adjacent to highways in townships with fewer than 30,000 persons. The House passed a bill allowing townships with over 5,000 persons to assume this regulatory responsibility. I voted yes. Food Buy Lines : One name says it best.

I voted for legislation that will raise the state supervision fees for banks and credit unions. The added revenue, some $570,000 annually, will cover the cost of in­ spections and other regulation by the Financial In­ stitutions Bureau. Endangered Species? The House approved a bill to delete from Michigan’s Endangered Species Act alligators, wild horses, cougars and other wild animals which are plentiful in their native habitat. This will enable Michigan zoos and educational in­ stitutions to acquire such species. I voted yes. Continuing the Domestic Violence Board. Currently the state Domestic Violence Prevention and Treat- Plat Filing Fee Hike. Subdivision developers are required to submit to local and state authorities a plat, or map for approval. Under House-passed legislation, the recording fee accompanying this filing would be raised from $20 to $120, plus $4 per lot. While additional funds to administer this act are needed, the amount of the fee increase is excessive at a time when the housing industry is so depressed. I voted no. Child-Snatching. Courts have held that Michigan's kidnapping law does not apply to a parent taking a child from the lawful custody of the other parent. This has made it difficult to locate and return children in a growing number of interstate custody disputes. I supported a House-passed bill making it a two-year felony to remove a child from the state with the intent to detain the child from the parent who has legal custody. The guilty parent would be charged with a misdemeanor if the child were retur­ ned within seven days. Brazilian Drought May Effect Chocolate Prices Weather in the Brazilian state of Bahia would seem to be of little concern to most Americans. Not so for those who love chocolate. Chocolate is the No. 1 flavor preference for Americans, and Brazil is one of the world’s largest exporters of cocoa, the source of chocolate. A drought in Brazil is threatening the crop, and analysts say if it continues, the first world cocoa deficit in six years will occur. That would translate into even higher chocolate prices. Wholesale cocoa prices more then doubled during the last cocoa shor­ tage in 1977. Many factors influence the price of a commodity, but one of the greatest determinants is supply ver­ sus demand. Cocoa beans, the source of all cocoa and chocolate, are found in the pods, or fruits of the cocoa tree. This special variety of evergreen is cultivated mainly within 20 degrees north or south of the equator. That makes Brazil and western Africa the two key growing areas for cocoa. The United States and most other developed nations must import cocoa. As other countries have become more prosperous, the worldwide demand for cocoa has increased. Cold weather increases the popularity of many products made from the cocoa bean, but especially that of hot chocolate. Many convenience products are on the market, but none matches the flavor of hot chocolate made from cocoa and fresh milk. Hot chocolate made from scratch with fresh milk is about equal to the price of bulk-packaged instant mixes, which contain dry milk solids.Chocolate mixes packaged in individual servings are the most expensive form of hot chocolate. Coffee is another beverage with a foreign connec­ tion. Brazil is also one of the largest suppliers of cof­ fee beans. Colombia, Guatemala and Angola (Africa) Real Replacement Value Insurance? Funeral Accounts. This House-approved bill will permit pre-paid funeral accounts to be opened at credit unions, just as such accounts are currently allowed at banks and savings and loans. My vote: Yes. Changing the Street Fund Formula. To help the City of Burton. Flint-area legislators pushed through a bill that will enable cities of 25.000 or more to use state trunkline miles within city limits in calculating their annual share of state transpor­ tation funds for street maintenance. A beneficiary of this change is Holland, which stands to gain an ad­ ditional $102,000 in state road monies. I voted yes. also export substantial amounts of coffee. Weather is the most important factor affecting fluctuating coffee prices. Politics are another impor­ tant factor, because some coffee countries are often in turmoil politically Coffee is the second most valuable commodity (behind petroleum) in inter­ national trade. Brazil and other big coffee producing nations rely heavily on coffee exports for national income. During the 1977 coffee shortage, coffee shelves were bare in the supermarkets of producing countries, while coffee just cost more in the United States. Coffee is still the most popular hot beverage in the United States, but per capita consumption has fallen off by more than a third since 1962. Consumers trying to economize on coffee without drinking less might try one of these options: buy the least expensive type of your favorite brand, choose a less expensive brand, or use less coffee for each cup brewed. Anyone already using powdered instant coffee is spending about half as much per cup as it would cost for the same brand of similar strength freeze-dried instant or regular grind coffee for brewing. Tea is definitely the most economical hot beverage on the market. Almost all tea now used in the United States is black tea. Though usually grown in different locales, black and green tea are dried leaves of the same plant. After tea is picked, it is withered, dried and machine broken. Black tea goes a step further than green — it’s fermented. The words “orange pekoe’’ on a package have nothing to do with flavor. Orange pekoe describes tea made from large leaves. Broken orange pekoe tea is made from smaller leaves. Pekoe tea is made from smaller leaves, fannings and dust. An ever expanding variety of specialty teas are available in most supermarkets. Most of them cost substantially more than regular tea, but they still qualify as relatively inexpensive beverages.

M SS Frostings GENERIC ITEMS Meat Drugs — Use, Misuse, Abuse Guidance for Families, taken from Public Affairs Pamphlet Na 515. Margaret Hill, author. The word ’drugs' has a generally terrifying effect today. For many people it has become synonymous with "drug abuse," with the "drug problem." Yet years ago drugs were primarily thought of as helpful — and without drugs, many people now alive and functioning would be deed, ill or incapacitated. There is, however, no denying that abuse of drugs is a serious problem. Some people feel at least part of the reason for this abuse lies in our society, in the way we live and the goals we pursue. Others feel it lies primarily within the individual. In any case, we can each try to solve the drug abuse issue for our­ selves. And we can try to create a family environ­ ment that will help children not to become drug abusers. Drug associated problems might become more manageable if, as a start, we considered them with less panic and were more accurate in our ter­ minology. A marijuana smoker is not necessarily a marijuana addict. The "ups" and "downers" that teenagers "pop" are not narcotics. Alcohol is a drug. But the man who gets drunk on Saturday nights is not necessarily an alcoholic. There are many drug users who are not abusers. The Food and Drug Administration describes drug use as the "taking of a drug for its intended purpose, in the appropriate amount, frequency, strength and manner." Drug misuse is "taking a substance for its intended purpose, but not in the appropriate amount, frequency, strength or man­ ner." Drug abuse is "deliberately taking a substan­ ce for other than its intended purpose, and in a man­ ner that can result in damage to the person's health or his ability to function." Drug dependence is two types: physical and psychological. Habituation is the term used to describe psychological dependence. Addiction is physical dependence on a drug, which results in withdrawal symptoms when the user is deprived of that drug. An addicted person usually builds up tolerance to a drug — he or she must have in­ creasingly larger amounts of it in order to get the same effect.

Many people see spots at one time or another, however, as one becomes older, changes are more likely to occur in the eyes which cause the spots to be more noticeable. To understand the causes of spots and floaters, we must look at the general anatomy of the eyes. They are filled with fluid to maintain their shape, supply nutrition and to aid in focusing light. Often, particles of protein or other natural materials are left floating or suspended in this fluid whtn the for­ mation of the eye is completed before birth. If the particles are large enough or close together, they cast shadows which make them visible. In most cases this is normal, but spots can also be caused by certain injuries, eye disease or deterioration of eye fluid or its surrounding structures. The appearance of spots varies greatly among in­ dividuals. Often they appear as dustlike particles, cobwebs or threadlike strands. They can also appear as dim or dark areas, or showers of brilliant crystals Since spots move as the eye moves, they dart away when the patient tries to look directly at them. Although most spots are harmless and due to the normal development of the eye, it is generally ad­ vised to have them checked to rule out any cause such as disease or eye deterioration. �PAGE EIGHT THURSDAY, JANUARY 13,1983 Middleville San and Celedoaia News, Middleville.

We always like to run a "cold' photo for our friends wintering in Florida .... just to make them homesick! Photo by Irv Timm Food Bank to Help Needy Plans are going forward for the Middleville Food Bank being promoted by the Community Action Agency of South Central Michigan. At the begin­ ning it is an emergency organization that will give one-time aid to destitute families with children. A family will be given food valued at $1.50 per person per day for a period of 3-5 days. The food bank will be reimbursed from the $3100.00 fund allocated to Barry County for this program. Since this small amount will soon be used up, the local food bank, if it finds a great need, can expand and set its own regulations such as aid to the elderly, continued aid to the unemployed without benefits, etc. Churches, factories and service clubs are being contacted. They are being asked to have a one-time collection of non-perishable foods. As soon as donations come in, the food bank can be in operation. It Will be located in the basement of the United Methodist Church. Middleville Women’s Reading Club is sponsoring the project, with Mrs. Elizabeth Palmer as chairman. She may be contac­ ted at 795-3090. Anyone who is not part of an organization or group collecting food may make an individual donation. Contact Mrs. Palmer or Mrs. Ann Bar­ tlett. or bring your own donation directly to the United Methodist Church. The Thomapple Kellogg Counseling Office would like to notify seniors and parents of seniors that Financial Aid forms are now available at the high school counseling office. These forms should be filled out by all seniors desiring financial assistance for their continuing education in college or technical schools. Forms should be sent in before February 1, 1983. Any parent with questions or desiring assistance in filling out the form should contact the Thornapple Kellogg High School Counseling Office at 795-3394.

Before including a book. I try to skim through it so I’m prepared to advise the public on which are the most appropriate for their needs. It’s a good way to keep informed. This week I would like to discuss some books that explain alternative energy methods. Everyone seems to be increasingly con­ cerned about current energy' methods, some for economic reasons and some for ecological reasons. Many solutions have been suggested. The key is finding the right one for you and your home. If you have no idea what the phrase “Alternative Energy Methods” means, you need some broad, basic books to begin with. An excellent starting place is with Low Cost, Energy-Efficient Shelter for the Owner and Builder, edited by Eccli. This book is by no means elementary (some pages look like a foreign language to me) but covers many options and explains what alternative energy is all about. Another enlightening book is Successful Alternate Energy Methods by James Ritchie. Many alternative energy methods are in their in­ fancy. Many are older than the hills and just forogtten until now. Whether they are old or new, you owe it to yourself to get the best and most efficient for your money and lifestyle. That is precisly wh^ John Keyes wrote Consumer Handbook of Solar Energy for the United States and Canada. His point, that some methods’ and models’ ability is dependent on variables such as location and installation is well taken. He also explains equipment, how to select a dealer and offers suggestions on which equipment works best at your precise geographical location. There are four alternative energy methods that are the most widely employed at this time. These are wood heat, solar energy, wind power and placement of homes (i.e. earth sheltered homes, windows facing the sun). Most authors recommend combination of these methods, especially in climates like Michigan. They do, however, stress that these alternative methods are reasonable, workable, economical solutions to the energy problem. In the past few years I’ve joined the ranks of believers in solar heating. The chief persuader was my brother, a student at Jordan Energy Institute. He convinced me that even in climates such as this, that solar energy may be utilized by employing passive systems (collects heat for use on cloudy days). For additional information on solar energy check out: Solar Homes and Sun Heating by George Daniels and At Home in the Sun by Davis and Lin­ dsey. The latter book offers a home tour of solar dwellings throughout the U.S. Wind Power for the Homeowner by Donald Marier has some interesting ideas on how to harvest the wind as an energy sour­ ce. Many people have been using wood heat as a sup­ plement to their furnaces. The public library has numerous books on history of. using and installing wood stoves as a primary heat source. One of the best is The Complete Book of Wood Burning Stoves by Svins. Earth Sheltered homes sounded very unappealing to me at first. Upon seeing one and looking at pic­ tures of many others, I’m admitting I was wrong. They appear comfortable, light and efficient. Both Underground Houses by Roy and Earth Sheltered Housing Design by the Underground Space Center, University of Minnesota, could be explored for fur­ ther ideas. The energy crisis is not as critical today as it was four or five years ago. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that we never had an energy crisis, but a shor­ tage of useable energy. It is a fact that fossil fuels are an exhaustable resource. We will be dependent on other methods. The time to start thinking and working toward alternative methods is now. Your pocket book will thank you and your conscience will be eased. TAX PREPARATIONS Typing Service*Photo Copies*Office Supplies Kermit E.

Michigan STATE CAPITOL REPORT unidentifiable or have disappeared due to accident or disaster. To expedite probate procedures. I voted for House-passed legislation that will enable more prompt death declarations when the court is abje to determine the date and cause of death. FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS S7A TE REPRESENTA T/VE. 54 th DISTRICT No Pirating. Some 79 manufacturers in Michigan engage in the design and production of boats. To address the problem of corporate “piracy”, the legislature passed a bill prohibiting a person from copying a competitor's hull design unless per­ mission were granted. Damages could be recovered from violators through civil action. I voted yes. Judges' Retirement. To place the judges' retirement system on an actuarily sound basis, the House and Senate adopted a package of bills. Provisions in­ clude an increase in court filing fees and a 3.5% of payroll general fund contribution — about SI75,000 in 1983. Optional benefit increases will be funded by judges through added payroll contributions. Probate judges will be brought into the retirement system. No longer will they be able to count their state salary toward local as well as state benefits. My vote: Yes. Bolstering the State Library. For years library organizations around Michigan have complained that the State Library has not been given adequate attention by its parent agency, the Education Department. Using the U. S. Library of Congress as a model, the House and Senate voted to transfer control of the State Library to its own Legislative Council. I voted yes. More Regulation? The House killed a measure to establish a new state board of respiratory therapists. Opponents argued that this registration policy would add to health care costs rather than protect consumers. With other auxiliary health professionals also seeking registration status, I decided that a more careful review of this proposal should be undertaken. My vote: No. Fire Drills. I supported House legislation reducing from 10 to 8 the number of fire drills required in schools, colleges and dormitories each year. Ad­ ministrative and record-keeping requirements also are specified in the measure. More Time Needed? The House and Senate voted to give Governor-elect Blanchard 100 additional days to present his 1983-84 budget proposal. I opposed pushing back to April the start of this year's budgetary review. This delay will remove some of the urgency from a transition process which is moving too slowly. Pooling Surplus Funds.

This Housepassed bill will give life insurers the option of of­ fering variable rate policies, not to exceed 18%. My vote: Yes. More Fees. With the support of the affected groups. I voted for House-backed bills to hike plumbers' and electricians' licensing fees. The fees have not been adjusted since the 1960s and will raise $245,000 an­ nually to help fund the enforcement of the state con­ struction code. Mobile Home Amendments. I supported several House-passed bills concerning mobile homes in­ cluding: a measure providing that the Mobile Home Commission's regulatory authority not extend to homes outside of mobile home parks; a bill to regulate seasonal mobile home parks on a less stringent basis than permanent parks; a measure mandating local building inspectors to inspect all newly-installed mobile homes and furnish to prospective tenants a certificate of occupancy; a bill to raise mobile home dealers' licensing fees to help fund the operation of the Mobile Home Commission. Younger Officeholders? The House rejected a proposal constitutional amendment lowering the age requirement for legislative service from 21 to 18.1 voted yes. Property Tax Amendments. This measure, now law, makes several technical changes in the General Property Tax Act. I successfully sponsored amen­ dments that will enable property taxpayers to protest their assessments by mail; insure that protestors who appear in person get a hearing before the board of review and receive word of the final decision; and, allow for larger boards of review in areas where large numbers of protests are filed.

DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY Brochure Outlines Procedure to Protest Property Assessment Property owners will soon be receiving their property tax assessment notices. Many feel that their assessments are unfairly high: unfortunately, they may also feel that it’s hopeless to “fight city hall" for a reduction. For this reason, the Michigan Consumers Council has published a brochure to assist consumers in determining whether to protest their assessment and how to proceed through an ap­ peal process. "Most assessment changes simply reflect in­ flation in the housing market,” said Consumers Council Director Kent Wilcox. “However, errors are frequently made. These can range from incorrectly computing the tax to an actual error in judging the property’s value. The first thing consumers need to do is check the appraisal records in the assessor's of­ fice for accuracy.” Wilcox continued. “It’s possible the appraisal may have been based on assumptions such as stating the house has a finished basement or fireplace when it doesn t. The appraisal may have also missed defects that might tend to reduce the house's value such as settling or shifting on the foundation.’* The Consumers Council advises discussing any errors with the assessor first. Some assessors may be willing to adjust the appraisal, saving the con­ sumer and themselves the nuisance of a formal protest. If the consumer finds it necessary to proceed with a protest, the brochure provides in­ formation which will be helpful when it comes to documenting a case before a local Board of Review. It’s crucial that consumers observe deadlines. Each township and city has a functioning Board of Review, and all Boards meet sometime between the first week in March and the first week in April. If the protest isn’t filed by this time, consumers will have missed their chance to change their assessment.

A drug can be thought of as a substance, other than food, that has an effect on the central nervous system or other systems of the body. These effects may be either beneficial or harmful. “Drugs'' are not necessarily destructive, and “medication” is not always helpful. It is especially important to know that drugs change body chemistry, and that different people react differently to the same drugs. Many people die from the misuse of prescription and over-thecounter drugs. A drug that is healthful for some may be damaging or fatal to others. It is also important to know’ the four general categories of the drugs of abuse and the charac­ teristics of each. Narcots: Opium derivatives. Also referred to as “opiates.” Induce sleep or stupor. Relieve pain. Ad­ dicting. Include opium, heroin, morphine, codeine and synthetics like methadone and demerol. Depressants: also called sedatives. Depress the central nervous system. Can cause addiction. In­ clude alcohol, barbituates (sleeping pills), some tranquilizers, such as Valium and Librium. Stimulants: Stimulate central nervous system Accelerate body processes, often to a dangerous degree. Produce a false sense of well being, which may be followed by severe depression. Include pep pills, some weight reduction pills, metham­ phetamine (speed), cocaine. Hallucinogens: Mind altering drugs. Cause hallucinations. Include LSD, peyote, STP. Depressants, stimulants and narcotics have medical uses when carefully prescribed and con­ trolled. A miscellaneous group of dangerous drugs in­ cludes airplane glue, solvents, aerosols and othei chemicals. Some can cause irreversible brain damage or death if inhaled or ingested. Addiction is usually associated with the use of heroin and other opiates. Withdrawal from bar­ bituates is more sever and more dangerous than heroin withdrawal. Some tranquilizers are addic­ ting, as are some stimulants in large dosea. (Remember, “addiction” refers to physical depen­ dence. All drugs have the potential for psychological dependence.)

People are realizing the need to record their wishes on funeral services for themselves. They recognize that this takes away the difficult burden of decision making later during the hour of need and assures the family of doing the right things within proper budgets. For some time, this funeral home has recognized the needs and desires of thinking persons to plan ahead. I have developed ways of assisting those who wish to make arrangements in advance. Our funeral home has quite a lot of families who have so recorded their plans and wishes with us. They appreciate the opportunity to make these wishes known Most people have definite ideas about the ser­ vices they wish for themselves; specific details such as the minister, the music and scripture readings, flowers, costa, etc. , They don’t have to pre-plan their funerals, but they know it's a good feeling when it’s done and the family won't have to worry about it! There are three reasons to pre-plan your funeral Economy — You can save money when you pre­ plan by stipulating only as much in service and mer­ chandise as you wish. Personal Chokes — You can chooee your own clergyman, music, scripture and the kind of service, down to the smallest detail. Inner Security - It is a weight off your mind, knowing that your arrangements are complete, and the costa will not be a burden to your family. In invite you to visit or call about pre-planning your funeral service There are no costs or obligations, and you don’t even have to pre-pay your funeral to have your wishes made known.

Baby’s Eyes; Birth to Four Months At birth, a baby can see patterns of light and dark, but specific objects will probably be blurred. In these early months, a baby should begin to follow slowly moving objects with his or her eyes and begin to reach for objects. This occurs first by chance and later more accurately as hand-eye coordination and depth perception begin to develop. In the first four months of life, you can help your child's visual development by: • Changing the position of the crib frequently and changing your infant's position in the crib to aUow the child to respond to light from different direc­ tions. • Hanging a mobile outside and above the crib to provide variety and movement. • Keeping reach and touch objects within baby s focus, about eight to twelve inches. Objects should be large enough to prevent your baby from swallowing them. • Talking to your baby as you walk around the room, giving him or her a target to follow and helping him or her associate hearing and seeing. • Alternately holding your baby in your left and right arms during feeding. the 8th. While there, Mrs. Maclver of Zephyrhills called on them. Recently Dr. Kokmeyer of Gun Ijike took his staff and families on a few days vacation at Crystal Mountain where there was snow, skiing and a fun time. As Mary (Mrs. Charles) works for the doctor on Fridays, she and her family enjoyed the trip with the rest of the group. Sunday was Joyce Richardson’s birthday and the family had a party for her. Other guests beside the family were Mr. and Mrs. Mark Truder and little Luke of Bass Road. Mrs. Roger (JoAnne) Barnum called her folks, Glen and Leone Dean, Sunday night in Florida and learned it was cold there, she had to buy a heavier coat. Further south, it was 40° and has been warmer. Alyn Finkbeiner was at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Finkbeiner Sunday. Wed­ nesday he begins his next term at Grand Rapids Junior College. Mrs. Thelma Carl attended the Golden Anniver­ sary of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Standt at the Allegan United Methodist Church on January 8. She spent the week end as ktheir guest. Mrs. J. B. Allan of Augusta was a Friday guest of Mrs. Mary Jackson. They were grade school chums in Augusta and have kept up this friendship all these years. Lloyd Sensiba of Bangor, a former Middleville resident, is now a patient at the Provincial House in Hastings. Walter and Ivah Wilson visited him on Thursday. Mrs. Sarah Johnson, who has been a patient at Pennock Hospital, is so much improved she retur­ ned the first of the week to the home of her daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kenyon, with whom she makes her home.

Dorothy Martin has been staying with Bea and Verne Wenger while Orrie was in Venice Hospital for tests. He is home now. John and I were at Epcot Center - a new branch of Disney World from Tuesday til Friday. It is well worth the trip but very tiring with long lines and many people. Wheel chairs have priority, so we never got into long lines. They were so good to us. We stayed at Howard Johnsons at Buena Vista. The bus picked us up right at the door. The handicap ones run every 10 minutes, they have chair lifts which are wonderful. Future World is divided into two sections. The one section we spent all of Wednesday viewing. We visited Spaceship Earth, Communicore East and West (a passage way to other buildings) Universe of Energy, World of Motion, Journey into Imagination, The Land. Each of these huge buildings had many interesting things. Spaceship Energy and Motion you rode into space. Also many food places. Wednesday evening we rode the bus over to Magic Kingdom to the Contemporary Hotel where we attended a dinner theatre party on "The Top of the World" (15th floor) Thursday we did the "World Showcase" across the lake and walked all around it, 1 Vi miles. My legs told me about it that night. They are Mexico, China, Germany, Italy (where we had our lunch), Japan, France, United Kingdom, Canada, and American adventure. Almost all had circle vision pictures, gift shops, food bars and restaurants. Again, wheel chairs were well taken care of. We went back to see the Universe of Energy again on Friday and also had dinner at the Mexican restaurant. Very beautiful setting with a lake in the center that one could ride in the boat. All these countries have native people in them, again many people around. We arrived home about 6:30, tired and happy to have had a chance to see this miracle of miracles. We would recommend it to anyone, but you better have walking legs first. This week will be potluck with the barbershop­ per s for our guest program January 27th potluck will be Michigan Night. I am having a meeting Tuesday to help decide what we will do. We have 43 Michigan families in our park.

Ny-RatlM - M’ - page nine Food BuY Lines Citrus Fruit Prices At or Below Last Year Retail prices of fresh citrus fruits are generally run­ ning at or below those of a year ago. Several factors are responsible. January, February and March are the peak supply months for most citrrus fruits. To date, the 1982-83 production year looks like a good one. Some navel orange areas in California were hit with adverse weather earlier, but all of the major storms have missed citrus growing areas. Shipment of the Texas fruit was slowed down, but the fruit was not affected and did get through. The 1982-83 grapefruit crop is forecast at 64.3 million boxes — 5 percent less than a year ago. Florida, the chief producer, expects 13 million boxes of pink seedless grapfruit, 25 million boxes of white seedless grapefruit and 6 million boxes of seedy grapefruit. Grapefruit are classifed as white or pink, seedless or seedy. It makes sense to choose seedless grapefruit because the edible portion is larger than in the seedy fruit. Marsh, Ruby Red and Star Ruby are all seedless varieties, though they do oc­ casionally have a few seeds in them. As for color preference, it’s all a matter of taste! White grapefruit are usually stronger in flavor than the pink. Duncan is an old, reliable, white seedy variety that still rates superior in flavor and juice content. Consumers frequently inquire about the meaning of Indian River on grapefruit bag labels. This is not a brand rather, it refers to the Indian River area of Florida. Indian River is a lagoon along the east coast of Florida that is bordered by hammocks. Grapefruit produced in hammocks (low spots with heavy well watered soil) have the thinner skins associated with higher quality fruit. The 1982-83 U.S. orange crop is forecast at 224 million boxes — 26 percent larger than last year’s crop. The California orange crop is forecast at a record high 67 million boxes. That’s more than double the size of last year's crop. Oranges will be featured often during the next three weeks.Usually the advertisements state the size of the fruit. Informed shoppers can use this in­ formation to help determine which deal offers the greatest value. All citrus fruits are shipped in one-size paper­ board containers. If an orange is a No. 88, it means 88 of that size orange will fit into the carton. One hundred and thirteen No. 113s will fill the same car­ ton. In other words, the smaller the number, the larger the fruit. Citrus fruits do not ripen after being picked, so all of them sold fresh must meet maturity standards set by state departments of agriculture. Skin color of citrus fruits actually has nothing to do with ripeness. Instead, look for firm, heavy fruit with a bright, fresh-looking peel that is reasonably smooth. Some varieties of oranges naturally have thicker skins. An extremely rough texture, though, indicates ex­ cessively thick skins and less meaty fruit. Oranges and grapefruit with a peak at the stem end will likely have a great deal of the white portion of the skin, called albedo. Produce buyers refer to albedo as rag. One of the great contributions from citrus is vitamin C. To retain that nutrient, keep citrus fruits and juices cold and covered. Oranges and grapefruit that have been cut should be stored in plastic wrap or bags in the refrigerator.

RIBC set up two sites in 1982. The one at Caledonia Foods accepts glass, plastic milk and orange juice jugs, tin cans and aluminum, newspapers and brown paper bags. The site at the Middle Mart in Middleville accepts glass, tin cans and aluminum. All materials must be properly prepared before recycling, and then deposited into the appropriate containers at the site. Clear, green and brown glass should be washed, and separated by color before being deposited into the containers. Plaatic materials should be rinsed thoroughly and labels, caps and rings removed. Tin cans should be washed, labels and both ends removed, and then flattened. The metals do not have to be separated. Light bulbs and window glass are not recyclable. Some other materials other than those mentioned may be recyclable, but RIBC asks that the recycler call before bringing them to the site. Call Jackie Schmitz at 795-7897 for details. RIBC needs more volunteer site checkers for the Caledonia site. Although this site is operated by Recycle Unlimited, area residents volunteer to maintain it. A site checker 's job is what the title im­ plies. plus doing some sweeping and picking up, if necessary. It involves a minimum of time. Caledonia residents are encouraged to participate in this most worthwhile effort. Call Pat Syrek at 891-1053. RIBC thanks the community for their par­ ticipation in recycling at these sites. There have been very few problems in maintaining them due to the dedicated site checkers. Occasionally the newspaper bin becomes too full at the Caledonia site. When this happens RIBC asks that the recycler call Pat Syrek at the above number. Any organization wishing to have RIBC address their group on the subject of recycling should con­ tact Jackie Schmitz. We all need to work to ensure that recyclable materials are not landfilled. Please use your local recycling site! Scout Order of Arrow Chapter 5 of Order of the Arrow received Most Improved Chapter of West Michigan Shores Coun­ cil, Boy Scouts of America.

Michigan page twelve Trojan Varsity Handles Scots STORIES BY JIM VERLINDE Thornapple Kellogg s Varsity Trojans main­ tained their grip on the OK Blue’s top spot last Friday, continuing their deadly attack of balance and teamwork to handily defeat the Scots of Caledonia. 66-59. The outcome dropped the Scots to fourth place, while TK remains tied for first with two other teams. The Trojans controlled the contest for the first three quarters, jumping out to a 33-18 halftime lead and increasing their advantage to 55-37 after three stanzas. But Caledonia was not to be humiliated as the Scots outscored the Orange 22-11 in the last period, reducing the final difference to seven points. Thomapple Kellogg placed three scorers in double figures. Brian Miller paced the squad with 13 poin­ ts. while Jim Schipper and Jeff Kerber gained 11 and 10 points, respectively, for their cause. Four others tallied eight points apiece. Mike Wilson led the Scots’ scoring surge, collec­ ting 13 points, while Chad Creasy followed closely behind with 11. Caledonia outperformed TK under the boards as the Purple and Gold grabbed 34 rebounds to Middleville’s 29. Tomorrow night the Trojans will travel to Com­ stock Park to protect their 4-1 league record against the Green and Gold Panthers. ... ButJV’s Fall.. Caledonia's Todd Marsman (42) attempts to block a shot by Middleville s Brian Miller (foreground) in the game Friday night. Scot Brad Harrison (30) races in at left. Thomapple Kellogg's and Caledonia’s Junior Varsity basketball squads clashed last Friday night, and the result was an exciting down-to-the-wire game which saw the Trojans come out on the short end of a 45-43 score. The final dropped TK’s league record to 3-2. Dave Karel and Tom Schwartz were called on to lead the Trojans as star Steve Miller was called up to the Varsity. Karel pulled down eight rebounds while hitting five of seven field-goal attempts for 11 points. Schwartz helped out with ten bounds and 18 points. Leadership and balance, however, could not overshadow the Orange and Black’s 23 turnovers, as Middleville fell just short of victory. Tomorrow evening, Thomapple Kellogg’s JV team will head for Comstock Park to take on the Panthers. PHOTO BY C. SCOTT Middleville’s Eighth and Seventh Grade Teams Doing Well 8th Grade Loses to Hastings The Trojan 8th grade basketball team suffered their second defeat of the year, a close hard-fought lose to Hastings 31-30 on January 11. The Trojans opened the game at a fast pace for the first time this year. During the first quarter the Trojans played almost perfect ball and took a 14-8 first quarter lead. The second quarter turned out to be the Trojan downfall. As the quarter progressed, some critical fouls called against starters Randy Stickney and Kurt Henry caused both players to sit out the last 2Vi minutes for fear of a fourth foul before halftime. A fourth foul before halftime to either player could have sealed the Trojans fate early. As a result of the foul problems, Hastings forged back and took the halftime lead 20-17. The Trojans held their own, for the most part, during the third quarter, and went into the final trailing 27-22. The Trojans, who never gave up, came fighting back to within one point in the closing seconds, but missed a couple of scoring opportunities that could have been the difference. The lose moves the Trojan record to 3-2. Scoring for the Trojans were Doug Fox. 10; Kurt Henry and Randy Stickney, 7 apiece; Greg Willshire 4 and Scott Rodgers 2. Beat Scots in Overtime The TK Eighth Grade basketball team improved their record to 4-2 with a 39-36 overtime victory over Caledonia Friday. The young Trojans started slow as usual, but Caledonia could do no better and held a slim 8-5 first quarter lead. During the second quarter, the teams played almost even, but the Trojans were able to outscore Caledonia 14-12. Caledonia still held the halftime lead at 20-19. The third quarter looked like a replay of the first with Trojans making some mistakes and not getting any breaks as they were able to score only 2 baskets. As the fourth quarter opened, the Trojans found themselves trailing 28-23, but they began to put things together. The Trojans sank 5 of 6 free throws during the last quarter that allowed them to put the game into overtime. During the final quarter, crucial baskets by Randy Stickney and Doug Fox and a free throw by Kurt Henry allowed the Trojans to go up by 3 points and seal the win. Leading the scoring for the Trojans were Doug Fox 16. Randt Stickney 15 and Kurt Henry 8. The B team also improved their record to 2-1 with a 33-29 victory over Caledonia. The B team started fast and jumped to a first quarter lead of 6-1 and continued to widen the gap to 21-8 by halftime. During the third quarter the Trojans went cold and were outscored by Calednia 12-4. As the fourth quarter began, the Trojans still held the lead but kfound themselves tied with a minute to play. The Trojans then scored 2 baskets to seal the victory at 33-29 Scoring for the Trojans were Dan DeMorrow 9, Bill Goodman 6, Mark Drenton 6, Greg Willshire 4, Matt Biermacher 4, Rod Innes and Doug DeVries 2. Everyone on the team scored! 7th Graders Undefeated The TK Seventh grade basketball team defeated a very good Hastings team 27-24. After falling behind 8-4 in the first quarter, the Trojans fought back to trail by 1 going into the fourth quarter. In the final quarter, a very tired Trojan five outscored a rested Hastings 5 8-4 to seal the victory. Scoring were Tim Mesecar 9, Dave Elies 7, Brian Verlinde 5, Ross Sprague 4 and Jeff Page 2. The TK Seventh Grade remained undefeated with a 43-27 decision over Caledonia. The Trojans started slow as they held an 8-4 lead at the end of the first quarter. Things got better in the 2nd and 3rd periods as the Trojans opened up a 33-17 lead. The fourth period was even as each team scored 10 points. Leading the way for the Trojans were Brian Verlin­ de and Ross Sprague who scored 15 and 13 points. Mesecar once again controlled the boards for Mid­ dleville as he did an excellent job keeping Caledonia's big center off the boards. Brad VanSickle played his best game scoring 6 points, and Dave Elies had 3. Caledonia took the B game 27-19, as Kevin Kid­ der scored 8 points, Ed Cole and Andy Cummings 2, Kevin Kermeen 2, Kevin Martinez 2 and John Car­ men 1. �THURSDAY, JANUARY 20.1983 Middkvflk Sun and Caledoaia New* Middlevilla. Michigan PAGE THIRTEEN Volleyball Underway At TK High School Volleyball is underway at Thomapple Kellogg High School. The JV squad is made of 15 talented girls. We have two returning sophomores. Dawn Bos and Abby Garner, who also have been elected co-captains by the team. The three remaining sophomores, Patty Fifelski, Dawn Duflo and Karyn Elies, have added strength to the team. Ten fresh­ men make up the rest of the team: Trish Thompson, Monique Weesie, Kelly Biermacher, Linda Vandal, Maria Hebert, Sandy Egleston. Taleese Yonkers, DeAnna Lewis, Mary DeWent and Kathy Schleh, who are developing good skills. Lisa McWhinney serves as the team manager, and Joyce Domire is the coach. Since the beginning oif practice, our team has im­ proved greataly and we re beginning to put into practice many of the skills we have developed. We began the season with 4 straight wins. Our first two victories were over Forest Hills Northern and Forest Hills Central in a triangular event held at F.H.C. Although it was our first match of the season, we came off the bench feeling very confident and easily defeated both teams. The next match was at home against Hastings and again we walked away unbeaten. Last Thursday our game was again­ st Caledonia at home. Anticipating stiff com­ petition, we came off the bench ready. Again we came out the victors in a 2-game match. Monday night the JVs went up against the Delton Panthers. Although we played very well against this tough team, we made many serving and mental mistakes. The match went three games and proved to be ex­ citing, however Delton girls enjoyed the victory. Thursday night (tonight) we play at home against Northview and meet Hopkins Monday night on the road.

The Trojans wrestled well against a highly rated Union City, handing them their first dual meet loss in two years, 35-27. Jack Posthumus, 98, opened the scoring with a pin in 1:05 and Del win Craven followed with a lop­ sided 18-3 win. Union City came back for a pin at 112 over Dan Moore. Marty Sinke wrestled a tough match at 119 for a 6-3 win. The Trojans lost the next three when Terry Sensiba, 126 and Scott Duflo, 132, were pinned and Paul Ordway dropped a 7-2 decision at 138. With the score 21-14 in favor of Union City, the Trojans began a comeback at 145 as Randy Winchester came up with a 9-8 victory. Chris Yonkers at 155 added a pin. Brent Cisler, 167, and Nathan Briggs added 3 each with decision wins making the team score 29-21 TK. Mark Lloyd put the final points on the board for the Trojans with a pin in 1:23 at 198 lbs. In the Heavyweight match. Bill Perry was pinned. Union City is now 4-1 in dual meets for the year. In the match against Pennfield, the Trojans had a letdown and lost several close matches, falling to Pennfield 33-27. Trailing 12-0 going into the 119 lb. match, Marty Sinke started the Trojan scoring with a pin in 1:03 and Terry Sensiba added another pin in :30 to tie the score. Paul Ordway got the next win for TK with a 5-4 win at 138 and Chris Yonkers wrestled well for a 6-1 win at 155. At 167 Brent Cisler added a pin, but Pennfield came up with pins of their own at 185 and 198 for a 33-24 lead. Mark Lloyd then picked up the final win at Hvy 7-0. Pennfield's record is 4-1 in dual meets. Jeff Kerber (51) makes two points for Middleville in the first round battle with Caledonia last Friday night Hold K-ville to Tie Scots Split Caledonia Fighting Scots split a pair of decisions last week in two hard-fought basketball games. Tuesday the Scots went to do battle with non­ league foe Lowell and came away with a 71-66 win. Lowell, who was undefeated in their league, did not fall easy as the game wasn’t decided until the final seconds on free throws by Phil Tuttle and Todd Marsman. Marsman was unstoppable inside (22 points) while Mike Wilson led the air attack from the out­ side, 17 points. Ron Schultz and Phil Tuttle both helped out with 10 points each. Marsman led all rebounders with 16, while Mike Wilson added 9. For Lowell Matt Brerwalde led all scorers with 25 points, using good solid inside moves. Greg Malone added 12 points. Against Middleville the following Friday it was a different story. The Scots were totally dominated for the first three quarters of play as Middleville led by as much as 23 points in the 3rd quarter. Todd Marsman, who was averaging 21 points per game, was completely silent as he did not score a basket all night. The Scots as a whole were cold and timid until the fourth quarter when they came close to pulling it out. Led by Chad Creasey, Pete Graham and Mike Wilson, the Scots refused to fold. Tough man-to-man defense and aggressive offensive play cut the lead to 13. Creasey, who was the only Scot who gave a good performance throughout the con­ test, fouled out at 2 minutes to go, but the Scots still cut the lead to 11. When Mike Wilson fouled out with less than a minute, the Scots had to concede the defeat. Scoring for the Scots were Mike Wilson 13, Chad Creasey 11, Pete Graham and Ron Schultz 9 each, and Phil Tuttle, 8. Wilson had 12 rebounds, Creasey 8, Graham 8 and Todd Colvin 6. The loss leaves the Scots one game out of first at 3-2, while Middleville remains tied with Hamilton and Kelloggsville at 3-1 for first place. Kelloggsville, undefeated in dual meets this year and holding wins over both Hamilton and Hudson­ ville, came to Middleville for an OK Blue league meet on Thursday, January 13, and remained un­ defeated, but left with a badly bruised ego as the Trojans came through with their best effort of the year and a 31-31 tie with the Rockets. Jack Posthumus set the tone as he was matched with a wrestler who had beaten him earlier in the year 7-2. Jack was trailing 10-2 when he came alive. In a very quick turn of events, Jack had his man on his back and a pin. Delwin Craven at 105 also was facing an opponent who had beaten him earlier this year, but that did not stop Delwin. He finished strong for a 5-5 draw. Kelloggsville picked up a pin at 112, but Marty Sinke and Terry Sensiba added pins for the Trojans and a 20-8 lead. Kelloggsville earned another pin at 132 and sent highly rated Tony Martin out at 138 to get another, but Paul Ordway wrestled his best match of his career, keeping Martin to a very hard fought 2-1 vic­ tory. Randy Winchester at 145 and Chris Yonkers at 155 added wins for the Trojans, but Kelloggsville came back with a pin at 167. At 185, Nathan Briggs fell behind 4-2 near the end of his match, but got a takedown in the last 10 seconds for a 4-4 draw. Mark Lloyd earned a 10-5 win at 198 pounds. Bill Perry wrestled well at Hvy. but was just not big enough and was overpowered by a very strong Chris breen. Kelloggsville is 2-0-1 in the OK Blue and 11-0-1 overall, while the Trojans are 0-2-1 in the league and The Caledonia Wrestling team, under new head 5-3-1 overall. coach James Maxim, took third place at the Rogers Invitational.

Sunday dinner guests at our house were the Ken Bremer and Dave Enders families. That nicely fills the table for a good visit. Funny, 1 thought when we hooked up to cable TV that Sundays would be filled with something besides football! What a dreamer! This media will have to be time tested to prove itself as far as I’m concerned, for in my limited viewing time I haven’t been exposed to a good show yet. Tom is enjoying some of the old, old TV shows now, but you can only reminisce for so long. It is, however, easier to stay awake when you don’t “rest your eyes’’ during a commercial.

The 1983 Social Security wage base — the maximum amount of annual earnings on which Social Security taxes are paid, has increased to 835,700, Robert Fleminger. Social Security District manager in Grand Rapids said recently- The 1982 base was 832,400. Since the Social Security tax rate remains unchanged at 6.7% for 1983, most people will not pay more in Social Security taxes this year unless they have higher earnings than m 1982, Fleminger said. People who earn more than 32,400 in 1983 will pay more in total Social Security taxes. People who earn more than 835,700 in 1983 will pay total Social Security taxes of 82,391.90. which is 8221 more than the 82.170.80 paid in 1982. Em­ ployers match the Social Security taxes paid by em­ ployees. Also increasing in 1983 is the amount of annual earnings required to earn a "quarter of coverage," the measure used to determine eligibility for benefits. In 1983, a person will earn one quarter of coverage for each 8370 in annual earnings up to a total of four quarters if annual earnings are 81,480 or more. The number of quarters a person needs to be eligible for benefits depends on his or her date of birth. No one can become eligible with fewer than 6 quarters of coverage and no one will ever need more than 40 quarters. More information about Social Security taxes, quarters of coverage, and benefits can be obtained at the Grand Rapids Social Security office The people there will be glad to answer any questions. The office is located at 250 Monroe NW in the Calder Plaza building and the phone is 456-2241.

Bender Gets Key Legislative Posts Eighty-eighth District State Representative Robert Bender (R-Middleville) announced that the House leadership has appointed him vice chairman of the Military and Veterans Affairs Committee for the 1983-84 session. The first-term lawmaker will also serve on the Agriculture and Forestry, Corrections and Social Services and Youth Committees. Bender, a veteran Navy pilot who remains active in the reserves, is pleased to be serving as the Military and Veterans Affairs Committee vice chairman. "My years in the service have given me a first-hand view of the problems and concerns of the military personnel, said Bender. “I will do all I can to serve our veterans. They have spent their lives serving others and we should carefully consider any needs they have.’’ A farmer since 1964, Bender is also concerned about the future of agriculture in Michigan. “Some analysts are predicting that five percent of the state’s 65,000 farmers may be forced to shut down this year,’’ he said. “Low prices, high costs and a drop in exports could mean another bitter year for Michigan farmers. Net income for Michigan farms has dropped drastically since 1980 and the future remains cloud.” Bender hopes his experience will be useful on the Agriculture and Forestry Committee. From 196770, he participated in the Kellogg Farmers Study Program, a project that worked to develop agricultural leadership in Michigan. For three years. Bender studied various political, social and economic systems throughout the world, traveling to several continents. �PAGE TWO Middleville San and Caledonia New*. Middleville. Michigan A WOMAN'S WHIRL FoodBuyLines^ BY Joanne Boysen “Stop the World, I Want to Get Off!’’ Don’t you sometimes wish you could?' Newspaper, television and radio headlines spell out their tales of violence, death, taxes, drugs, nuclear threats and economic disaster. (One could almost envy our early American settlers who only had disease, starvation and Indians to worry about.) There are times I would like to shut the world out — enough, already! If you haven’t something good to tell me, then don’t tell me anything! That, of course, is behaving like the proverbial ostrich who hides his head in the sand. Problems don’t disappear just because we refuse to see them, but there comes a point when the old saws “ignorance is bliss” or “what you don’t know won’t hurt you" seem to have a small kernel of truth. The fact is that we are bombarded with so much evidence of the sad state of our world that it’s a wonder we don’t all crawl into a hole someplace. Sure the world is in a sorry mess, but hasn’t it always been more or less so? It’s just that we didn't always know so much about it. Recently, I read a book in which the Quaker religion played an important role, and it struck me that the Friends have some great ideas (and prac­ tices) in their emphasis on peace, simplicity, sharing. It seems to me that these gentle people could teach us a great deal. Perhaps we could even learn to make the world a better place to live. In the meantime, I think all of us need the serenity or peace of mind that comes from learning to live with the world as it is and, for me, at least, that means sometimes tuning out the intrusion of the “media” with their incessant repetitions of catastropnic happenings, or dire predictions of terrible things to come. There really are a great many beautiful, wonder­ ful, good things about this world of ours. Would it really be so bad to accentuate the positive more of­ ten!? Since the holidays, I have been trying to lose some of the excess weight that 1 seem to gain so easily. Diets are extremely boring, and the people who talk about them constantly are equally so. But when you’re on a diet, you seem to spend an inor­ dinate amount of time thinking about food. If any of you have some mouth watering, easy to prepare, zero calorie recipes, you’re either onto something fantastic or you’re fooling us. Seriously, I would truly appreciate any low calorie dishes you care to share as well as those meant for our thinner friends and anyone who refuses to count calories. In an effort to sublimate the temptation to make all the rich desserts and other delicious dishes, I’ll try writing about them instead of eating them. My mom gave me this cake recipe. I really don’t know how it got its name, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

JANUARY 27.1983 S______ —--------- / Stretch Your Food Dollar with Pasta Thrifty shoppers are piling more pasta products in their shopping carts these days. This makes good sense because macaroni, spaghetti and noodles help stretch food dollars by extending more expensive protein foods. “Macaroni” is both a generic and a specific term. Generally, it describes the whole world of spaghetti, macaroni and noodles. These products are also known as pasta, an Italian word meaning “Paste” (dough). Macaroni also means a specific kind of pasta product. The standard of identity for macaroni describes it as hollow and tube shaped, from 0.11 to 0.27 inch in diameter. Spaghetti is solid and cord shaped, from 0.06 to 0.11 inch in diameter. Macaroni and spaghetti differ only in shape * Noodles are flat and always contain egg or egg solids. According to the federal standard of identity, at least 5.5 percent by weight of the total solids of noodles must be added egg solids. The best pasta products are made from durum wheat, a special variety of hard wheat grown in the north central United States Though they ’re related, hard wheat is quite different from the soft wheat grown in Michigan. Michigan's soft white winter wheat is prized as an ingredient in cake mixes, where a light, tender texture is desired. Durum is an extremely hard spring wheat. It is milled by special equipment into granular semolina, a coarse grind of flour made from the heart of durum wheat, or ground more finely into flour. The Semolina or flour is mixed with water and the resulting dough is forced through dies to form the plain and fancy shapes for which the pasta family is famous. Durum pastas, labeled “durum” or “made from semolina.” cost no more than those made from or­ dinary flour, but they are considered premium quality. Macaroni products made from durum or semolina are superior because they retain their shape and firmness during cooking. The lack of a milky looking starch residue in the cooking water is another clue that pasta was made from durum wheat. Cooks in the United States can choose from about 150 different pasta shapes. Italian cooks have a much greater choice — about 500 sizes and shapes. Substituting an unusual macaroni products is an easy way to give a new look to familiar pasta dishes. When substituting one type of uncooked macaroni product for another, make the substitution on the basis of weight rather than volume. Cup measurements of uncooked macaroni foods may not be accurate for several reasons. Pasta products cook up differently. Macaroni and spaghetti swell to about twice their measure when cooked. Noodles increase somewhat less. The variety of shapes and differences in air space bet­ ween pieces also make uncooked pasta products measure differently. Cup measurements of cooked pasta products are satisfactory, however. About 90 percent of the macaroni products in this country are enriched with iron and some of the B vitamins. For added nutrients at no additional cost, select pasta products labeled “enriched.” A list of the added nutrients will appear on the package label. Noodles cost about one-third more than spaghetti and macaroni because they contain eggs. Some fan­ cier shapes of macaroni also cost more. Purchasing larger packages of macaroni products cuts the unit price. Store brands usually cost less than nationally advertised brands. Packaged dinners that include seasonings and perhaps a sauce, but no meat, are a convenient but fairly costly way of purchasing macaroni products. These packaged mixes usually do work out to be less costly than completely prepared frozen pasta din­ ners. however. USE SUN AND NEWS CLASSIFIEDS!

I would like to use this column to mention many of the new novels recently added to the Public fiction section. Several patrons visit the fiction sec­ tion regularly. For those readers who are being stubborn and continuing to spend hard earned money purchasing reading material, let me list op­ portunities that are being passed. I must confess that I have not yet read all of the following books. I'm still looking for an employer who will pay me while I support my reading habit. In the meantime. I horde left-over minutes and late evenings for reading. I eventually want to read all of these. I will try to note previous books by these authors just to jog some memories. I. The Valley of Horses by Jean Auel — sequel to The Clan of the Cave Bears (I read both twice!) 2. A Cry in the Night by Mary Higgins Clark (The Cradle Will Fall) 3.Max by Howard Fast (authored The Immigrant series) 4.

We’ve also ordered Murder on Capital HilL This is, by no means, a complete list of new novels. We have many more new books. If none of the above sound appealing, come in and appraise the situation for yourself. Many of you would be pleasantly surprised to find how entertaining reading can be. In my estimation a good book is much more satisfying than almost all the current television programs. Books can accompany you almost anywhere you go. They don’t even have to be plugged in. obituaries MRS. LILLIAN M. JOHNSON Mrs. Lillian M. Johnson, aged 82, of Charlotte, formerly of Middleville and Hastings, passed away Saturday, January 22, 1983.

Michigan Tree Tapping is on Hand for Michigan Syrup Producers Indian legend says that when the world was new. syrup flowed freely from maple trees. But the Great Spirit decided that anything so good and sweet should not come so easily and has made it hard ever since to collect and process the maple syrup. Maple syrup production was popular with the In­ dians all over Michigan even before the arrival of the first French explorers. Maple syrup and sugar were items for barter among Indians living along the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River. In the Grayling area, Indians were still making maple syrup until the late 1800s. Indians used crude and time-consuming methods, but they worked. They hollowed out logs and placed the sap inside of them. After heating stones in a fire, they placed them into the logs amid the sap. This process was repeated until the sape was sufficiently heated to form steam which evaporated the excess water out of the sap. turning it into syrup. Early American settlers improved upon the In­ dians' method of processing sap by incorporating wooden buckets and then later on, metal buckets and equipment. Maple syrup had become a major source of sweetening in the United States and reached a peak of 4,132,000 gallons in 1860. Impor­ tation of sugar cane after the Civil War, however, caused the decline of maple syrup production because sugar cane was cheaper and more efficeint to produce. During World Wars I and II, production increased slightly when sugar cane became in short supply, but it never again reached its peak of the late 1800s. In 1981. Michigan ranked fifth in the nation for maple syrup production. Syrup production in the state gives about 700 commercial producers and a number of hobbyists a gross income of 2.5 ^o 3 million dollars for producing 90,000 to 100,000 gallons of syrup a year. Michigan has ranked as high as third in some years, depending upon weather conditions. However, Vermont and New York have always been the unchallenged leaders in maple syrup production: ranking first and second for the produc­ tion of 545,000 and 331,000 gallons of syrup respec­ tively during 1981. Trailing the leaders were Wisconsin and New Hampshire, with Michigan pulling in fifth. On a national level, these five maple syrup producing states increased their production by 45 percent inl981, producing 1, 410,000 gallons of syrup in comparison to 973.000 gallons in 1980. Maple syrup has traditionally been a secondincome for many small, family farms. However, due to the growing number of corporate farms and in­ creasing specialization maple syrup production has experienced a decline from what it was about 50 years ago. Larger-scaled maple producers are utilizing newer technology with modern aluminum-sided sugar houses. Most of the newer and larger producers also use plastic tubing to collect the sap. The tubing runs from tree to tree, collecting the sap and delivering it to storage tanks outside the sugar houses.

Most producers - large or small - commonly use an evaporator to steam off large amounts of excess water from the sap. Once the sap increases to a cer­ tain density, it is transferred to the finishing pan which heats the sap to just the right temperature that turns it into maple syrup. Although using modem methods has become a necessity for most maple producers, older producers who have been involved with syrup production for a long time still collect the sap in metal buckets two or three times a day during late February and early March. Some even still use the quaint, wooden sugar-houses which are sometimes seen scattered across the countryside. But there is one thing modem technology will never change. Maple sap must be boiled to obtain syrup, just as the Indians boiled the sap using their repetitive stone-heating methods in order to capture the flavor and the delicacy of real maple syrup. In this area, we have a number of sugar maple and black maple stands. Check with the landowner before tapping any trees on private property. Equipment necessary for maple syrup production is minimal, but a few items will increase the efficiency of the operation. These items include: 1) a drill with a 7/16 or Vk inch bit. 2) a metal collection spout for each taphole. 3) a collection containier (bucket or plastic bag) or tubing line for each taphole, 4) a large pan and heat source for boiling down the sap. Size will depend on amount of sap involved. 5) a large scale thermometer calibrated at least 15 degrees above the boiling point of water, 6) wool, orlon or other type filters for filtering finished syrup while hot. 7) storage facilities and containers for the finished syrup. Tapping in this area begins in mid-February so taps should be in place at that time. For more in­ formation on maple syrup production and recipes, contact the Kent County Extension Service at 836 Fuller NE. Grand Rapids. Middleville EER A system that makes the Midland Nuclear Cogeneration Plant more efficient will make world history as the first such commercial system powered by nuclear fuel The system uses a process called cogeneration. Basically, that means that the exhaust heat left over from generating electri­ city is captured and reused. Most generating plants do not have a cogenerating system, so that excess heat is wasted. Making Midland a cogenera­ tion plant means more efficient use of energy resources, says the plant’s owner. Consumers Power Company. At Midland, the exhaust heat will be used to produce what is called process steam. That steam will be sold to Dow Chemical Company, for use in Dow's neighboring industrial complex. A large portion of the Mid­ land nuclear plants total cost is attributable to equipment needed to produce the steam This amount—approximately 25 percent of the plant's total cost— will be paid by Dow when it buy's steam, rather than by Consumers Power’s electricity customers. Producing steam is like heat­ ing water in a tea kettle, where heat from the stove is transferred through the kettle to the water inside. At the nuclear plant, three separate water systems will do basically the same thing. The nuclear reaction process, called fission, produces heat in­ side the nuclear fuel; that heat is absorbed by the surrounding water in the “primary” system. This very hot water, under high pressure to prevent it from becoming steam, is then piped to a steam generator. There, water in a second sys­ tem surrounds the steam genera­ tor pipes. The pipe walls transfer heat from the hot water inside to the cooler water outside, much like the tea kettle on a stove. The second system’s water becomes so hot that steam is formed. This steam is piped to a tur­ bine. There, it exerts force against turbine blades, giving up most of its energy and causing the spinning action necessary to drive an electrical generator Then, some of this used steam is piped to another set of “tea kettles” called evaporators. Those evaporators contain water from a third system. .As the steam passes through pipes in the evaporators, its remaining useful heat is again transferred outside, turning the surrounding water to low pressure steam. This new steam is then piped to Dow’s plant where it is used in Dow’s manufacturing process.

Michigan STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STA 7F REPRESENTA 77VF, 54th DISTRICT Unemployment Tax Credit. As part of the unem­ ployment insurance reform package, the legislature enacted a Single Business Tax credit for new em­ ployers. The credit will offset the federal penalty tax assessed against businesses to retire the unem­ ployment debt. My vote: Yes. Transportation Tax Hikes. To address declining transportation tax revenues and the deterioration of roads and public transit services, I voted for a gasoline tax hike of 2< per gallon in 1983 and 2c in 1984; a 30% registration fee hike for commercial vehicles and a new registration system for cars which taxes value rather than weight. The package will provide an added $575 million for roads and public transportation over the next three years. Early Warning. This House-passed bill will allow the state treasurer to investigate the finances of local governments bordering on bankruptcy. If the treasurer declares a financial emergency, state loans could be accompanied by a state takeover of the financial management of the local jurisdiction. My vote: Yes. Condominium De-Regulation. I supported House and Senate backed bills to phase out the state office which regulates the sale and development of con­ dominiums. However, the measure contains developer disclosure and escrow fund requirements to help insure that condos are completed and main­ tained properly. Sunsetting a Commission. The House and Senate voted to abolish the inactive and duplicative State Commission on Intergovernmental Cooperation, at an annual savings of about $5000. I voted Yes. De-regulation. The House and Senate voted to repeal the licensing requirement that barbers and cosmetologists obtain a physician's certification of health attesting that they are free from infectious disease. This policy goes back to the 1930s when misinformation existed as to how venereal disease was contracted. My vote: Yes. Medicaid Fraud Enforcement. I supported a bill, now law. making it clear that the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Unit attorneys have the authority to execute search warrants and confiscate evidence used to prosecute fraudulent Medicaid providers. Adult Protective Services. This comprehensive measure defines the responsibilities of adult protec­ tive services workers within the Social Services Department. It also requires certain types of professionals to report suspected cases of adult abuse, neglect, or exploitation — and requires law enforcement officials to cooperate ’with D.S. S. workers if an investigation is deemed necessary. I voted for what is a needed step in helping to insure adequate adult foster care. Local Income Tax Option. At the request of Lansing and Flint, the House considered a bill allowing cities of 125,000 - 1,000,000 population to levy — only by a vote of the people — a city income tax of 2% on residents and 1% on non-residents who work in those cities (the present income tax limits are T and .5%) I voted yes, but the measure was defeated. Stemming Bureaucratic Harrassment. The House passed, and I supported, legislation allowing remedial relief for small employers who are victims of overzealous state regulation. In contested civil cases, the court could award costs and fees to the small business if the position of the state agency was found to be frivolous. Richard J. Choryan, O.D.

Back row; first place winners Scott Polmanteer, Shaun Gary, Gary Urban and Scott Fliearman. Scot Wrestlers Bring Home 2nd Place Trophy The Caledonia wrestlers traveled to Lowell for their Invitational and came back home with the second place trophy. The Fighting Scots wrestled tough. The team scores were: Lowell 139Vi; Caledonia 136; Shelby 126; Comstock Park 94 W, Ottawa Hills 90Vi; Kalamazoo Central 72; Reed City 62; Ionia 60Vi; and Lakeview 57. “With a few exceptions, the team wrestled tough,” stated head coach Maxim. Undefeated Gary Urban pinned all of his opponents to capture another first place. Shaun Gary, 112 lbs., pinned all of his opponents for another first place. Vacationist Scott Polmanteer worked hard all week and it paid off, as he took the championship in the 126 pound class. It took heavyweight Scott Fliearman only 2:33 to pin all three of his opponents to win the heavyweight championship. Unseeded Mike Crumback pinned the second seeded wrestler to help with team points, and he took a 4th place medal. 185 pound Kevin “Pup­ pymoon” Groendal wrestled strong to take a 2nds place medal even after just recovering from being sick. 198 lb. Cliff Hawkins’ strength, coupled with moves, earned him a 2nd place medal. Also winning matches for Caledonia were: 119 lb. Doug Cook, 138 lb. Steve Yonkers and 145 lb. Eric Smith. Mike Kowalczyk, Andy Hollenback and Chris Brower wrestled some strong and close mat­ ches. The Fighting Scots dropped another important OK Blue battle Friday night as they lost to Hamilton 62-51 in the Hawkeye gym. The Scots started very strong, leading by as much as 8 points midway through the first quarter. However, by halftime they trailed by five points. The Caledonia five came out slow and cold in the third quarter again to drop behind by as much as 15 points. Kevin Haverdink led Hamilton by scoring 6 points in the quarter, while the entire Scot team could only manage five points. The Scots shot a better percentage from the floor, 40-35%, but could not get off enough shots. A big difference was in the free throws. Caledonia 5-11, Hamilton 14-23. Scoring for the Scots were Todd Marsman 13, Ron Schultz 12, Chad Creasy 9. Mike Wilson 7. Phil Tuttle 6. Scoring for the Hawkeyes were Ken Osborne 20, Kevin Haverdink 16, Greg Poll 16. Rebounding was the story as Haverdink had 25 boards for the Hawkeyes. While Todd Marsman grabbed 16 for the Scots. Todd Colvin and Mike W’ilson had 4 boards each for the Scots also. This loss drops Caledonia to a disappointing 3-3 record in the league, while Hamilton is in first place at 5-1. TK 8th Grade Basketball TK 7th Grade Basketball The TK Seventh Grade basketball team defeated two tough opponents last week to run their record to 8-0. On Tuesday the Trojans had to come from behind to defeat a very good and previously undefeated Byron Center team 38-31. The Trojans fell behind by 4 points at the end of the first quarter, and at the half 12-16. They did not gain the lead until the 4th quarter as they outscored the Bulldogs 14-7 to notch the victory. Both teams looked bad in the first half, but in the second half, the Trojans came around to gain the win. Leading the Trojans were Ross Sprague with 16 points, 10 in the second half, and Brian Verlinde, who scored 8 points, all in the second half. Tim Mesecar once again controlled the boards while scoring 6 points. Jeff Page played an excellent defensive game while scoring 2. Johnny DeYoung came off the bench in the 3rd and 4th quarters to play some very fine and much needed defense.

The TK Eighth Grade basketball team defeated previously unbeaten Byron Center 30-25 on January 19 to improve their record to 5-2. The Trojans played almost perfect basketball during the first half, lead by Randy Stickney’s out­ side shooting. The Trojans took an 8-4 first quarter lead and a 20-8 halftime lead. As the third quarter progressed, the Trojans played even with Byron Center and by the beginning of the fourth quarter held a 26-15 lead. The Trojans then went cold and began to make some critical mistakes, turning the ball over a number of times. The mistakes allowed Byron Center to get back into the game. Late in the game. Byron Center was able to close to 5 points, but the Trojans were able to hold them off. The game was the best the young Trojans have played so far this year and they should be congratulated.

Michigan PAG* TEN Double D Trail Riders The Double D Trail Riders held their annual elec­ tion of officers in December. The new officers are: President, Jean Ford; Vice president and secretary combined, Marilyn Schultz. We would like to thank Ruth Ann Terpening, who served as last year’s secretary and Sarah Benham as vice president for a job well done. We are all looking forward to another year of fun and fellowship. January 15 the Double D members met at the Woodland Skating Rink for an afternoon of fun. Some members hadn't been on skates for years and put on a real show, others did well. But everyone shared in the fun and laughter. During the coldest winter months, instead of trail riding, we participate in other activities such as swimming at the Thomapple Kellogg pool, roller skating, sliding, bowling, table games and square dancing. Our next activity is a “Winter Chils" party February 6 at Harwood Lake. There will be ice fishing, ice skating and sliding, weather permitting. Anyone interested in joining our group and having a good time all year round are invited to call these numbers for more information: 795-7823 or 795-9804. CLAY HILLS With WRETHAMcNEE Mrs. Jeanette Sherman went out for a steak din­ ner with friends Sunday. Charles and Fem Poland, Fem Doyle and I had dinner at Bob Evans Sunday. We saw Art and Leona Smith there, too. A nice place to eat. I spent Saturday evening with June and Howard Colburn and had supper with them. I extend my sincere sympathy to Doris Haight and family. My cousin Emery Wilson called from In­ dianapolis thia week, said they had quite an ice storm there. Lucky we didn't get much of that. My uncle is 95 and just returned from the hospital. He is doing well after having shingles. His children take turns staying with him in his own home. Isn’t that wonderful of children to do that. The cousins and uncle visited me last summer. Pro-Life Light Shines at Leighton The Leighton United Methodist Church demon­ strated its solidarity with the aims of the Right-ToLife Movement by participating in a statewide can­ dlelighting memorial on Friday evening, January 21. Lighted candles in white bags surrounded the church and were to be found in front of many church member's homes, signifying their remembrance of the fifteen million unborn babies that have died in America through abortion since 1973. Those deaths have resulted from the Supreme Court decision in the case of Roe vs Wade which, in effect, established abortion on demand throughout an entire pregnan­ cy The candlelight memorial was a visible demon­ stration of the church’s prolife commitment, and was a prelude to a national March for Life which was held in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, January 22. Members of the pro-life movement are working ac­ tively to educate the public to the reality of abor­ tion, and to secure a change in laws in order to protect the lives of unborn babies.

Ernie and Pearl were married in 1922 in Hastings and have lived in the Middleville area all of their married lives. The Vermeulens have two daughters, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Mulford (Marjorie) and Mr. and Mrs. Keith Wilson (Norine) all of Middleville. They have five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. The family asks that your gift to Ernie and Pearl be a card on this happy occasion. Their address is 8O22‘/i Irving Road, Middleville, MI 49333. Meeting in special session on Monday night, the Thomapple Kellogg School Board of Education voted to impose a summer tax collection on property in the district. Under recently enacted legislation, school districts may seek either half or all of the tax revenues raised on property during a summer collection period. The TK district decided to ask taxpayers for 50 percent of the levy this coming sum­ mer. According to the law, the district must now inform the townships that collect the tax money to institute the summer collec­ tion. If the individual townships and the school can agree on the cost of the collec­ tion, the taxes would be levied by the townships and then turned over to the school. If the townships and the school cannot agree, then the school has the option to negotiate with the county as the collection agency. If this fails, the school can collect the levy themselves. At the board meeting Monday night, the people in attendance were given an opportunity to voice their opinion of the summer levy. Most comments were negative, with some people voicing the opinion that a summer levy might alienate school supporters. It was pointed out that full-time far­ mers, senior citizens that qualify for homestead exemption, plus disabled tax­ payers can defer their summer tax until the fall collection time without penalty. The summer tax collection would be from July 1 through September 15, with those taxes not paid during that time going delinquent. On January 18 the Caledonia Com­ munity Schools Board of Education voted to seek a summer tax collection also. The Caledonia district receives all of their operating funds from local taxpayers. School officials point out that a summer levy will allow them to operate from a bet­ ter “cash flow” position. As it now stands, according to the schools, the tax money they receive comes after more than half of their fiscal year is over. They must, therefore, borrow money to continue through the year. "We estimate that we can save over $50,000 (in interest paymen­ ts) next year if we have half of our tax levy in the summer,” said TK Superintendent Jerry Page. Local township officials are currently estimating their costs to determine how much the summer levy will run. The town­ ship and school districts have 30 days to negotiate a tax collection fee.

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 3,1983 Wl ' [0 V, 2^- , At Your Public Library By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistant Winter is a great time to complete projects. It is also a good time to give your home a face lift. I’m talking interiors. Maybe you would like to paint, wallpaper, lower the ceilings, put new carpet in, or change the windows. Last week I talked of Alter­ native Energy methods. I’m sure many of you are not prepared to use one of the methods I suggested. There are methods which increase the efficiency of your present heating methods. I’ll include books on how to cut energy bills in this column. Perhaps while you are remodeling you can employ some energy-saving tips, and save yourself money. Often, when remodeling, one of the most frequwntly used rooms needs attention. I’m referring to the family room. Jane Cornell has some unique ideas in her book. Successful Family and Recreation Rooms. The book includes numerous photographs with directions on how to adapt them to your own home. When additional room is needed at your house, Patrick Gulvin’s book Finishing Off offers new con­ cepts for completing attics, garages and basements. Good stuff for expanding families. How to Remodel and Enlarge Your Home by M. E. Daniels proposes different ideas. If you don’t find the perfect solution to your remodeling situation, keep lookin! Occasionally, a specific problem is encountered and progress is halted until it is solved. Some of the most valuable tools in remodeling are the Practical Encyclopedias of Good Decorating and Home Im­ provement. These informative volumes include everything possible one would need to know when remodeling a room. There are eighteen volumes, arranged alphabetically and cover everything from floor plans to lighting. If you have just purchased a home and need major renovations, You Can Renovate Your Own Home by Green and Meyer, is the book to consult. This book explains major interior changes such as installing windows and walls. Before you tear a room apart, make sure you can put it together the way you want. These books have sensible, free ad­ vice. While renovating, it makes sense to make your home energy efficient at the same time. Ronald Dervin and Carol Nichols have written the first and second editions of How to Cut Your Energy Rills. They suggest you can save money by attending to these factors: insulation, windows and doors, heating and cooling, hot water, ventilation, lighting and appliances. They will tell you how to get your money’s worth when you pay utility bills. Most of these ideas do not require much money or time. They are simple ideas that most people aren't aware will save them money. Consumers Guide has put out Energy Savers Catalog. They list name-brand products recommended to lower utility bills. This book also has simple instructions using simple materials. In an economy such as we are in presently, I hate to see a good share of my money go to paying utility bills. In the end I have nothing to show for the money I spent. True, heat and lights are essentials. It is nice to know that I can do something about high utility bills. You can also do something - and the information you need, is free. The first page of a house log should be reserved for information describing the precise location of the dwelling. If your home is situated in a rural area, note the lot and con cession number, the township, and the county. An urban residence should be pinpointed by lot. street number, town or city, and county. In addition to providing data about the site, the initial page should inchide the following statement: "This log is to remain in the house and should lie updated by future occupants'" The body of the book will be devoted to two topics The first is a record of the con­ struction of the building . . the second is the history of its inhabitants. The amount of construction information available will, of course, vary from house to house If possible, though, you should document the date of construction, the name of the architect and or builder, the dates and descriptions of any significant alterations, and the materials used to build and remodel the residence You'll also want to try to indude sketches of the floor plan, as well as design drawings of any major changes made over the years Finally, it s both interesting and potentially valuable to insert scale diagrams of water lines, sewage systems, and the like in your logbook Information about the inhabitants of your house should include such facts as names, dates of birth and death, marriages, occupations and so forth . and be as complete as possible for all the families that have lived in the residence Don't be afraid to do some research (check the local registry office, long time residents of the area, school records, old newspapers, etc.), and to go into as much detail as you like in your mini biographies Photographs or old drawings can often add a lot of interest to a house log, M well. Round up every shot you can find of the interior and exterior of the structure over the years. If you built your own home, be sure to add any step-by-step construction photoe, too. And of course, portraits of past and present residents should accompany the stories of those families when possible Once your logbook has been assembled, install it in a permanent place in the house. As occupants come and go, as families overcome hardships and experience joys, the log that you start now can become a small but significant part of the history of your area . . and help maintain rhe links to the past that sometimes go a long way toward making life in the present more meaningful For FREE lOMona mNxwMtton on crawrvo NorrwMMOtnc rd on THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS maQaana i*n<j your amtw ano •»»•»» »r<s «m 'or EMpnnt No IM7 'W Wort*)' W W Do*n<J LESS' 106 Stoney Mountain Rcaa.

This year the mood was different, however. Even with forty-three new, energetic lawmakers scattered among the 110 House chamber desks, the opening day ceremony was more sober than festive. With state unemployment at 17.6% and a $750 million state budget deficit, new House Speaker Gary Owen spoke of the difficult decisions ahead. His request for bi-partisan cooperation and courageous leadership was answered by new Minority Leader J. Michael Busch. He pledged the good-faith participation of Republicans in problem­ solving efforts. Between the speech lines, each legislator could hear the somber message of impen­ ding budget-cutting and tax-raising struggles. New Talent.

OWNER 20 YEARS IN THE SAME LOCATION I probably more talent than it has ever had. The biographies of the huge class of freshmen describe a wealth of experience. For example, the twenty-two Republicans include farmers, small business owners, former township and county officeholders, attorneys, journalists, teachers, a school business manager, clergyman, registered nurse, and even a scientist. Having visited with many of the first-term members. I am equally impressed by the healthy blend of idealism and practical problem-solving ability they will be contributing to the House of Representatives. New Responsibilities One of my main respon­ sibilities as Assistant Republican Leader is to har­ ness the energy and experience the minority caucus possesses. I will be charing a new policy group whose job it will be to develop a strong Republican legislative program. This committee will be working with Republican committee vice-chairs to establish legislative objectives for the upcoming session. We will encourage tougher committee evaluation of state agencies and programs. The policy group also will monitor the bills sent to the House floor. This should help Republicans to be better prepared with amendments and the information needed to par­ ticipate effectively in floor debates. My committee assignments include Taxation, Labor and House Policy - active panels on which I served during 1981-82. Again, the Taxation com­ mittee will be on the front line as lawmakers and the Governor consider increased taxes as one way to balance the deficit-ridden budget. Property tax reform and the general issue of how to finance our public schools also should receive a fresh review. On the Labor Committee I have participated ac­ tively in efforts to improve Michigan’s job climate by reforming the workers’ compensation law and trying to restore solvency to the unemployment trust fund. Further attempts to tighten these laws and make the cost of doing business more com­ petitive for Michigan employers will be a top priority for me. Legalizing public employee strikes may be a high priority for others. The House Policy Committee is where proposals to establish a system of legislative program evaluation must be considered. After a four-year struggle, I again will be introducing a bill to “sun­ set” or terminate state programs by a schedule of dates certain — unless the legislature reviews and votes to renew those programs. As Republican ViceChairman of the House Policy Committee - and with a new Governor who has supported federal sunset, legislation — I hope this will be the session when serious program evaluation becomes a reality. New responsibilities have caused me to step down as Chairman of the House Republican Campaign Committee. However, I am committed to electing more Republicans to the legislature and will remain a member of that recruiting, fund-raising and cam­ paign assistance group. For me it is the third time around, but I still feel the enthusiasm and idealism of the freshman class. With a difficult year ahead for our state and the legislature. I hope that in some small way I can help to make the 54th District and all of Michigan a bet­ ter place in which to live.

DeMille, the famous motion picture producer, was a man of great talents and keen insights. He liked to get off by himself at times to think out a problem. One such time he went out in a canoe to quietly drift along while he thought about his problem. The canoe drifted inshore to a place where the water was only a few inches deep. Looking down he saw that the bot­ tom was crowded with water beetles. As he watched, one of the beetles came to the surface and slowly crawled up on the side of the canoe. Finally reaching the top, it grasped fast to the wood and died. DeMille's thoughts went back to his problem. About three hours later, he happened to notice the beetle again and saw that, in the hot sun, its shell had become dry and brittle. As he watched, it slowly split open and there emerged from it a new form, a dragonfly, which took to the air out of the cold husk, its scintillating colors flashing in the sunlight. That winged creature flew farther in an instant than the water beetle had crawled in a day. Then it circled back and swooped down on the water. The water beetles below might have seen it, too, but now their erstwhile companion was in a world beyond their comprehension. They were still living in their limited beetle world while their winged cousin gained for himself all the freedom between earth and sky. Later, when DeMille told of this experience, he concluded with a very penetrating question, "Would the great Creator of the universe," he asked, "do that for a water beetle, and not for a human being?"

Guidance for Families. Taken from Public Affairs Pamphlet No. 515. Margaret Hill, author. The Marijuana Question The Marijuana Question. Marijuana is classified by some authorities as a mild hallucinogen. by others as a depressant, by some legal authorities as a narcotic. It is known that marijuana affects time and space perception, which can result in errors in judgement, especially dangerous when driving or operating machinery. Although little is known about the long-term ef­ fects of marijuana, continuing studies suggest there may be hazards to health and personality. A fiveyear study at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Cen­ ter indicates that regular, habitual marijuana use may cause damage to human cells. It found evidence that the body’s immunity to disease is weakened. According to Professor Gabriel Nahas. director of the study, there is evidence that regular marijuana use can result in brain impairment, lung damage, and chromosome breakage. Other studies, however, have not confirmed these findings, and many researchers question them. Marijuana is widely credited with leading to the use of other drugs. The fact is that most drug abusers are multi-drug users — that is, they are dependent on drugs, not a single drug. And more of­ ten alcohol, rather than marijuana, is the first drug used. In fact, alcohol abuse is the major drug problem of our nation and of several other countries. Alcohol is frequently designated as the adult generation's drug; startling statistics show it to be the teenager’s as well. In spite of our knowledge about the destruc­ tive aspects of alcohol, it continues to be the most acceptable of the pleasure-producing drugs. Among teenagers, abuse of alcohol now exceeds the abuse of all other dangerous drugs combined. Some researchers believe alcohol is being used with marijuana because it speeds the absorption of drugs into the bloodstream. Many teenagers favor alcohol because of its availability and comparatively low cost. And perhaps because parents do not express the same alarm at their sons’ or daughters* use of alcohol as they do toward other drugs. The hazards of cigarette smoking have been well documented. What many people do not give much thought to is that nicotine is addicting and some people experience withdrawal symptoms when they quit. Many who switch to low tar and low nicotine cigarettes wind up smoking more in order to main­ tain the same dosage level of nicotine. Richard J. Choryan, O.D.

From the doctor or pharmacist the patient should find out the name of the prescribed drug; what it is supposted to do; its possible side effects; what to do about them. The patient or the parent should be sure he or she understands how the medication is to be taken. Also, the doctor should be asked whether alcohol is allowed while taking the medication, and told about other drugs the patient is using. Medicine given to a child should be measured ac­ cording to direction and given at the specified time so that the child will associate precaution with drug use. The child should also be taught that this medicine was prescribed for him or her only, and that no one should use another’s medication without the doctor’s approval. It is unwise to stress the bright color or pleasant taste of a child’s medicine. If it is palatable, the child is more likely to take it withOout fussing, but the association of drug use advises parents never to pretend that medicine is candy, lest the child raid the medicine cabinet and risk being poisoned. Prescription drugs can also be drugs of abuse. A significant percentage of such medications as barbituates and amphetamines are sold through illicit channels. Many people who do not think they have a drug problem go from doctor to doctor ac­ cumulating prescriptions for tranquilizers and sleeping pills. Many use over-the-counter drugs habitually and recklessly. Doctors should take the time to give adequate explanations about prescriptions and should be sure they are understood. More than one patient has stopped taking a vital medication because of the in­ convenience. while others have assumed that if twotablets daily help, four will help more. Obviously it is dangerous for the layman to make such decisions. Patients should not hesitate to ask their doctor questions or to report reactions.

The reason being that controlled atmosphere storages are now being opened. Prime quality controlled atmosphere (CA) apples are so crunchy you’d almost think it’s autumn all over again. Shoppers will know they are getting CA apples by the CA label on the bag or container. CA apples contain more than just good fall-fresh flavor and crunch. The mere 87 calories of a medium apple deliver fiber, pectin and potassium but hardly a hint of sodium. Controlled atmosphere storages literally put justpicked apples on hold, explains Donald Dewey, hor­ ticulture professor and apple expert at MSU. CA storages accomplish this by combining low tem­ peratures with an atmosphere in which levels of the carbon dioxide and oxygen are closely controlled. The optimum temperature and storage conditions differ with each variety, so different varieties require separate rooms. The CA storage rooms are filled in the fall, sealed and carefully monitored daily. As a result, a wide variety of Michigan apples is available throughout the year. The Michigan storage report shows holdings of eight varieties in­ cluding the old favorites, Northern Spy, Rome and Winesap. CA storage is one of the greatest breakthroughs in fresh apple storage ever developed. It has been tried for other fresh fruits and vegetables but is not nearly as effective as with apples. Apples from CA storage do cost more, but their autumn-fresh crisp­ ness and flavor are worth it. To maintain moisture and other quality charac­ teristics in fresh CA apples, store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. They break down in just hours at room temperature, undoing all the growers,’, packers’ and retailers' efforts to get a good product to you. Buy no more than a 10-day supply at a time - a home refrigerator does not duplicate the specialized conditions found in CA storages. Apples are truly the anytime, anywhere fruit. With an edible peeling and no seeds or crumbs to contend with, fresh spples make an ideal snack at home or in the car. Eating apples out of hand may be the most popular way of consuming them, but Michigan ap­ ples are great in other ways too. Michigan is known as the apple variety state because so many different kinds, suitable for all uses, are produced in the state. Choose an all-purpose variety like Jonathan, McIntosh or Idared, and one bag will suit all uses. Now, when was the last time you had baked apples, Waldorf salad, apple dumplings, apple turnovers, apple cake, apple pie, apple crisp, apple cobbler, ap­ plesauce, apple torte, apple waffles, apple bread, ap­ plesauce cookies, apple kuchen, apple strudel, etc., etc? �PAGE SIX THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 3.1983 The Sun and News Sports Page Caledonia Still inBasketballRace; Defeats Kelloggsville and Lee Caledonia stayed in the thick of things of the OK Blue division by downing two league foes last week. On Tuesday. Kelloggsville entered the Caledonia gymnasium tied for first in the Blue with a 5-1 record. Both teams started out by playing tough defense. The lead seesawed throughout the first half, but Caledonia came out with a 26-25 lead. The second half saw Caledonia increase its lead as the Scots combined a great offense with team defen­ se. as the Scots went on to defeat the Rockets 61-45.

Caledonia was kept in the game by guard Ron Schultz who tallied 12 firsthalf points. At the end of the half, the Scots found themselves down by three, 21-24. Caledonia came out more aggressive in the second half as they had regained the lead at the end of three periods. The second half saw a new Fighting Scot leader emerge in junior forward Mike Wilson. Wilson paced the Scots with 10 third quarter points, and 13 in the fourth, as Caledonia went on to defeat the Rebels 56-44. The Scots once again played great team defense as they held Lee to 20 second half points. Jim Stehouwer, the Blue’s leading scorer with a 22-point average, was kept in check by Caledonia’s Phil Tut­ tle who held Stehouwer to just 4 points. Tuttle led the Scots' passing attack by collecting five assists.

Others winning matches were Shaun Gary, Scott Polmanteer, Steve Yonkers, Eric Smith and Kevin Groendal. TK EIGHTH GRADE: Hastings Does It. 44-40 The Trojan Eighth Grade basketball team was defeated by Hastings 44-40 on January 26. The Trojans started slow and fell behind 9-5 by the end of the first quarter and 21-13 by half time. The Trojans, who never gave up. made a second half charge which began in the third quarter with the Trojans outscoring Hastings 13-9 to cut their lead to 30-26 by the beginning of the fourth quarter. The most critical event of the game was not the loss to Hastings but the loss of starting center Doug Fox, who was averaging almost 8 points per game, for the rest of the season with an ankle injury. The loss drops the Trojan record to 6-3 with 2 of the losses to Hastings by 1 point and 4 points. leading the scoring were Randy Stickney 15. Doug Fox 11. Kurt Henry 5, Greg Willshire 4 and Scott Rodgers 3. The B-team also was defeated 40-32 by Hastings. The loss drops their record to 2-2. Scoring for the Trojans were Mark Drenton 6. Dan DeMorrow 6, Bill Goodman 6. Mark Verlinde 6, Greg Willshire 4 and Scott Rodgers 2. Go Down in Tournament The Eighth Grade basketball team was defeated 38-28 in the first round of the OK Blue Junior High Tournament being held at Middleville. The Trojans were able to take a 2 point first quarter lead, but by halftime the Trojans found themselves trailing Caledonia by 2 points. During the third quarter the Trojans played almost even and by the beginning of the fourth quarter found themselves trailing 20-15. As the fourth quarter started and with the Trojans trailing by 5 points, starting center Doug Fox was put into the game for the first time. He had not played up to that time because of a bad ankle injury suffered Wednesday against Hastings. Even with Fox playing, the Trojans were unable to cut into Caledonia’s lead. A couple of Caledonia breaks and a couple of Trojan mistakes clinched the victory for the Scots. The Trojans will play in the losers bracket Wednesday, February 2. TK SEVENTH GRADE: HaNtingw Doe* It . . . Again The TK Seventh Grade basketball team saw their hopes of an undefeated season come to an end at the hands of a fine Hastings team. The Trojans held the lead at half, 17-15, but the defense let down in the second half and the Saxons pulled away to a 47-34 win. Scoring for the Trojans were Brian Verlinde 11, Tim Mesecar 11, Dave Elies 5, Jeff Page 3, Johnny DeYoung 2 and Spencer Miller 2. Handily Take Scots, 44-26 The Trojan 7th Grade Basketball team opened up the 1983 OK Blue Basketball tournament in fine fashion as they defeated Caledonia 44-26. After falling behind 12-8 in the second quarter the Trojans caught fire and scored 16 of the next 20 points to carry a commanding 24-16 lead at the half. In the second half it was all Trojans as they outscored the Scots 20-8 to seal the victory. Brian Verlinde played the best game of the season as he scored 22 points. Ross Sprague was back in the line-up after missing the Hastings game because of illness, and scored 8 points and many assists. Jeff Page and Dave Elies once again played excellent support roles while scoring 4 and 2 points. Center Tim Mesecar once again was a main key to the victory scoring 4 points and holding Caledonia's big center away from the boards and to just 8 points. Jandt Herweyer and Joel Degood came off the bench to score 2 points each and played fine games as did Johnny Deyoung and Spencer Miller. In Championship Playoff On Monday the 7th Grade Trojans had their second meeting with the once beaten Byron Center Bulldogs in the semi finals of the OK Blue Tour­ nament. The Trojans handed the Bulldogs their only defeat of the season earlier, and the story was the same this time around, as the Trojans won 28-19. Excellent defense by the Trojans was the name of the game. Balanced scoring was also an important factor as Tim Mesecar and Brian Verlinde scored 8 points. Dave Ellis and Ross Sprague scored 6. Her­ weyer, Sprague and Page did excellent jobs han­ dling the ball, while Mesecar, Verlinde. Deyoung and Elies controlled the boards. Led by Jeff Page, the Trojans displayed their finest defense of the season. The Trojans head into the finals next Mon­ day at 6:30 with an excellent 10-1 record. Byron Center’s season ended at 9-2. The game Monday should be a good one as the Trojans play a much im­ proved Hamilton for the championship. �PAGE SEVEN The Sun and News Sports Page Hudsonville Drops Middleville to Second Place THURSDAY, FEBRUARY X 1983 by Jim Verlinde Lack of consistency finally caught up to ThorThe Trojans lacked the balance that has been a nappie Kellogg’s Varsity basketball squad last vital part of their success as only two players reached double figures in scoring and no one collec­ Friday as weak rebounding and sordid shooting led the Trojans to their second loss of the season.

Mkhigan THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3,1983 Th PRAIRIE SKETCHES AWith LOIS BREMER and IB JANETTE VAN RHEE When you start Monday morning by spraying deodorant on your hear instead of hair spray cause youve grabbed the wrong can - and you get to work and hear “I hate to start your day out like this, but . - you can almost relate to Sugar in the comics and her aversion to Mondays. Thank goodness my week started on Sunday where a quiet hour of chur­ ch (hopefully) injected me with enough inner for­ titude to cope with the foibles of daily life for another few days’ Last week I looked up some old Sun and News to see what we were doing on the Prairie 20 and 25 years ago, and you know it was just as calm in mid­ winter than as it is now. Did come up with an amazing - to me • fact, and that is I ve been doing this for more than 20 years. Time for a change! Who out there would like to take over for me and work with Janette on Prairie? You might get awfully tired of hearing about our grandchildren! And. speaking of grandchildren - it was neat to watch 5-year old Brad become involved in a Lassie movie on cable TV this week. With no commercial interruptions to break the spell, he was really in­ volved and worried when all the bad things hap­ pened and equally joyful at the happy ending. Fun! Ruth Klump returned last Wednesday after spending a week at Dekkerville with her niece and family, Ruth Ann and Ozzie Parks. They also took her to see another niece. Catherine, at Marion on Saturday.

Bob and Helen Wenger took Blanche Cridler and Uncle Joe Wenger out to dinner on Sunday. Pastor and Mrs. Max Holloway were Sunday din­ ner guests at the Phil Bender home. The Pat Harrison family celebrated Judy’s birth­ day last Tuesday by going out for dinner at Mr. Steak. They were with her folks, the Elmer Wiesenhofers. on Sunday where there were relatives from Detroit to visit. Lindsay Bremer enjoyed the circus last week with her folks. Tom and Brenda. She said she mostly en­ joyed her ride on the elephant. Tom was in Muskegon overnight Saturday for a bowling tournament, so he missed the good dinner and visit I had with Dave, Colleen and Zak at the home of her folks. Rev. Bill and Maxine Martin. Also had a short visit with Grandma Martin who just returned from the hospital where she had surgery on an arthritic hand. My, what a contrap­ tion she has to wear for a while. Brett Bremer had is first taste of ice skating Saturday when he and his mom ventured forth on their frozen pond, (it was enough for me just to walk on the ice with him the day before!). Larry Van Putten took 4th place in the junior high wrestling tournament in Hastings on Saturday. Saturday Merle and Pat Simmons had his folks out for dinner. The Larry Van Put ten family went to Grandpa VanPutten’s 84th birthday party in Grand Rapids Saturday. There were four generations present.

CLASSES STARTING SOON I 891-1106 CAPITOL COMMENTARY by Robert A. Welborn STATE SENATOR - 13th DISTRICT A 43.5 percent increase to raise SI billion in new state tax revenues. That’s the initial plan laid on the table for discussion by the Democratic leader of the state Senate. Before the newly-elected Governor from his own party even had the opportunity to reveal his own plans for cutting the state budget, my Senate colleague chose to take the easy way out: Simply tackle a three-quarter billion dollar deficit with an entire billion dollar tax increase. Before the 1982 elections, everyone seemed to be saying the major them of the upcoming session would be “Jobs. Jobs, Jobs.’’ Now, before the working sessions even begin, we seem to have an allnew goal: “Taxes. Taxes. Taxes.” At the swearing in ceremony of the state Senate recently, the Republican leader, in outlining the Republican plan for the coming year, vowed to cooperate in any way we can with the new Governor and our Democratic colleagues to carefully scour the budget for every area that could possibly be cut or streamlined — even if it meant scrapping entire programs. We had been gearing up for shirtsleeves work sessions and long hours of discussion and study. We had been waiting to hear Governor Blanchard's suggestions for his combination of budget cuts and tax increases. We stood ready to cooperate fully in the heavy tasks at hand. The proposed plan placed before us, to raise the state income tax from 4.6 percent of income to 6.6 percent — a figure that no state in the union has yet reached — did not take a lot of thought. Frankly, we re disillusioned with the predictability and lack of initiative shown in such a suggestion. Even as a “starting point” for negotiations, it is a disappoin­ tment. Why start discussions at a point so far off the mark and so different from what we promised the taxpayer at election time? It will make the debates that much more arduous and divisive - leading to partisan riftrs and adver­ MieuaEVJUE - MIDDLEVILLE CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH 708 West Main Street Morning Worship Service Sunday School Evening Worship Service 10 00 am. 11:15 a.m. 6 00p.m. YOU ARE INVITED Rev.

We have some fine minds in both the Senate and the House and excellent administrators, fiscal experts, professional staffs, and budget analysts at our disposal. With all this talent, is the 43.5 percent tax hike the best we can do? I don’t think so.

FEBRUARY 3,1983 Nutritious Substitutes Cut Meat Costs Meat is one of the more expensive items on your grocery bill. What can be done to help cut cost and still get the protein and iron that meat provides? There are other foods beside meat (beef, pork, veal, fish and seafood) that have similar nutrient value: eggs, dried beans and peas. These foods can be used in main dishes as substitutes for meat to lower the cost of food. Main dishes including these foods can be served two to three days a week. Some examples might be omelettes, chili, tacos or tostados with refried beans, pea or bean soup. Eggs, meat and fish are examples of food that contains complete protein. Protein is made of building blocks called amino acids. There are about twenty amino acids. Our body cannot make nine of the amino acids, so we must consume them in the foods we eat. Meat, soybeans and dairy products contain all of the nine amino acids and their quantities needed so they are considered sources of complete protein. Dried beans and peas do not and need to be with certain foods to get all of the nine amino acids in the amounts needed. Foods that dried beans and peas can be combined with are bread - grain or any of the following: meat, fish, seafood, eggs, cheese, milk, yogurt. Some examples are: pea soup - peas and ham, tacos refried beans plus a taco shell (grain). Kent County Cooperative Extension servi e is an educational unit of MSU.

Posthumus Named to Senate Finance and Municipalities Committee State Senator Dick Posthumus (R-Kent County), has been appointed Vice Chairman of the Senate Finance and Municipalities Committee, he announ­ ced today, after receiving official word of the assignments. “I am honored to be appointed to the top Republican slot on such a key committee as a freshman,” said Posthumus. “I am very excited about the prospect of working in the area of finance and taxation. If ever there was a time that Michigan was crying out for new ideas and alternatives to raising taxes, this is it. I expect this committee to be extremely productive, with the potential for making major impact. ” Posthumus said that he is also happy that municipalities have been tied in with finance under the new Senate committee structure. ‘‘We have been talking about the importance of returning more con­ trol and decision-making power over to the local governments,” said Posthumus. -“I hope to be able to further that worthy goal. Our cities, counties and townships — like the state itself— are receiving fewer and fewer dollars with which to operate. I want to see us put legislation into effect that will streamline the process by which the money is spent and priorities are set.” Posthumus, who represents the 31st district, joins chairman Gary Corbin (D-Clio), and State Sens. Dan DeGrow (R-Port Huron), Philip Mastin (D-Pontiac) and John Kelly (D-Detroit) on the new Finance and Municipalities Committee.

The Oath of Office reads: “I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Michigan, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of Representative in the State Legislature’’ The members of the 82nd Legislature took that oath in the Chambers of the Michigan House of Representatives, and I was proud to have my wife sitting next to me, and my oldest daughter and sister in the gallery. It was a memorable ceremony and a moment in my life I shall never forget. With the pomp and ceremony behind us. the members of the State Legislature must now get down to the task at hand: saving the state’s fiscal integrity and easing the burden that 17 percent unemployment brings to a state reeling from the shock waves of an uncertain national economy. Before me, I have stacks of position papers to read, correspondence and phone messages from con­ stituents, and a ton of mail from various groups and organizations. For the next few weeks, I will probably do more reading and writing than I have ever done before. However awesome, it is a task I look forward to undertaking and I bring to the job a sense of history that I hope will make my job here in Lansing, and at home, productive and informative for both you and me. Committee assignments were announced last week. 1 have been named Vice Chairman of Military and Veterans Affairs, and am a member of the Agriculture, Corrections and Social Services Com­ mittees. I was especially pleased with the Agriculture assignment, since that Committee has been given increased emphasis with the inclusion of forestry within its structure, and the fact that Agriculture is viewed as potentially having an im­ pact on the economic recovery of our state. Through constituent correspondence, personal contact with the people of the 88th District, Town Hall meetings, and occasional mailings, we will share together in Michigan’s problems and solutions. Our state faces its greatest challenge ever in the next two years, and as your voice in Lansing, I intend to accomplish the best for each of us. You can find me, or write me at the State Capitol, P.O. Box 30014, Room 220, Lansing, Michigan 48909. My secretary’s name is Billie and my phone number is 517-373-0842. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you for the next two years. PAGE THIRTEEN Middleville Son aad Caledonia New*. Middleville. Michigan Barry-Eaton Health Dept.

St. Jude Bike-a-Thon Set for Middleville The Central Regional Office of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital announced today that Ms. Linda Solomon has agreed to chair the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Bike-a-Thon in Middleville. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital was foun­ ded by entertainer Danny Thomas. The institution opened its doors to the public in 1962 to combat catastrophic diseases which afflict our children. St. Jude Hospital is non-sectarian, non-discriminatory, and provides total medical care to over 4,200 patien­ ts. At St. Jude, scientists and physicians are working side by side seeking not only a better means of treatment, but also the causes, cures and prevention of these terrible killers. All findings and information gained at the hospital are shared freely with doctors and hospitals all over the world. Thanks to St. Jude's, 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 is dedicated to "Terry.” Terry was diagnosed with leukemia in March of 1978, and began treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

FoodBuyLines Fresh Fruits and Vegetables are in Abundance Food shoppers have at least two good reasons to savor red tart cherries this month. The bright color of cherry pie filling and other tart cherry products make them naturals for Valentine s Day and Washington's Birthday celebrations. Look for features on red tart cherry canned and frozen products throughout February. Last summer's bountiful harvest is also reflected in large supplies of apples, potatoes, onions, cab­ bage and dry beans. Prices of fresh or unprocessed forms of these foods are generally running below year-earlier prices. Prices for dry onions are down substantially, compared to a year ago. Because of the recent rains in California, there s a little disruption of fresh fruit and vegetables from that state. The truckers strike has slowed the movement of many food items. At this writing, it appears that operators will curtail their driving to daylight hours. This means loads will probably get through, but shipments will take longer. Fresh potato stocks are 6 percent higher in the 15 major fall producing states. Almost three-quarters of the stocks are comprised of russet varieties, all purpose potatoes commonly referred to as baking potatoes. Only about 13 percent of the stocks are red potatoes. Supplies of most winter vegetables from Califor­ nia’s Imperial Valley are now at their peak. Look for continued supplies of broccoli, cauliflower, celery, carrots, iceberg lettuce and other salad vegetables. The Florida citrus belt has had quite a lot of cold weather, but none of the fronts has damaged the citrus crops. Top quality grapefruit and oranges should be available from California and Florida throughout February, barring weather problems. There is much more concentrated orange juice at the Florida warehouses now than there was in early 1982. Much of the current orange crop there will go into concentrate. Though they’re available, such specialty items as grapes from Chile, kiwi fruit and papayas are premium priced. Fresh apples or citrus fruits are more economical choices. Retail beef prices increased slightly in .January. Some analysts expect more beef, diverted from breeding programs, to show up at the meat counter and further weaken prices during the first half of 1983. After that, forecasters are saying beef prices could rise sharply. Pork continued on the high side and are currently one of the few bright spots in agriculture. Many of the hog producers are also liquidating their breeding stock to raise needed cash for debt obligations. The end result means pork supplies will remain tight for at least six months. Poultry is the big winner at the meat counter. The turkey hatch is up 4 percent and the broiler hatch is up 2 percent. Look for February meat counter specials to focus on broilers. The vertical integration of the poultry industry, low feed prices and a short cycle make it easier for poultry producers to react to changing market con­ ditions. Egg prices weakened considerably in January. Prices are expected to increase during February but to a lesser extent than normal during the Lenten season. �The Sun and News Sports Page PAGE SIX THURSDAY.

Both predicted it to be very close and it was just that, with Byron Center coming up with a 33-30 win. At 98 lbs. Robert Vincent of Byron Center Middleville’s Seventh Grade Basketball Team Wins OK Blue The Seventh Grade Trojan basketball team defeated a much improved Hamilton squad 26-24 to capture the OK Blue Tournament championship. The Trojans overcame a disastrous first half which saw them fall behind 11-2. They scored 6 unan­ swered points at the very end of the half to go in at half down 8-11. In the third quarter, the Trojans came alive and tied the score at 20 going into the fourth. In the fourth quarter each team became cold and could only muster 2 points. The regulation time expired and the Trojans and Hawkeyes were tied at 22. For the first 2:59 of the 3 minutes overtime, each team could still muster only one bucket. This set the stage for a very exciting finish. Center Tim Mesecar was fouled when going for an offensive rebound as the buzzer sounded. Tim stepped calmly to the line with no time on the clock and sank the first shot of a 1-1 and the Trojans became the 1983 OK Blue Champs. Although it was not one of their better perfor­ mances, the young Trojans must be commended on how they hung in there even when things would not fall their way. Tim Mesecar scored a game high 12 points, Brian Verlinde had 8, Jeff Page 4 and Dave Elies 2. Ross Sprague had a disastrous shooting game and was held scoreless for the first time this season, but his ball handling and passing con­ tributed greatly to the victory. Others playing well were Jandt Herweyer, Johnny DeYoung, Joel Degood and Spencer Miller. Team members who did not play but have con­ tributed over the season are Dave Newhouse, Todd Overbeek, John Duyser, Brandon Wustman, Ed Cole, Scott Sitzer, Steve Eggleston, Kevin Kermeen, Brad VanSickle, Roger Schondelmayer, Bobb Baldry, Kevin Martinez, Scott Thomas, Kevin Kid­ der, John Garner and Rob Kenyon.

Terry Sensiba had his opponent on his back for almost 6 minutes but had to settle for a 13-1 win to put TK up 17-14 after 6 matches. Paul Ordway was up against one of the area’s best in Scott Pepper who won 8-0. Randy Winchester at 145 was in for a match as he was up against Jamie Brown. They had wrestled twice this year with each winning close matches. This one was also close as Randy hung on for a 9-7 win. Chris Yonkers used his takedown ability as he came up with 6 takedowns in outscoring his op­ ponent 16-8 at 155 lbs. Brent Cisler got out to an early lead but a last second takedown cost him a 8-6 loss at 167. Nathan Briggs got the final points of the night winning on a forfeit at 185 lbs.

Byron Center finishes the dual meet season tied for 2nd in the OK Blue with a 4-2 record and 14-2 overall. TK finished in 5th place with a 2-3-1 record in the league and 9-5-1 overall.

Michigan PAGE EIGHT STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS S TA TE REPRESENTA TTVE. 54th DISTRICT Most lawmakers, especially Republicans, do not know Jim Blanchard. Last week the get-acquainted period began. I saw two distinctly-different sides to the new Governor. The first was a glimpse of the nervous, ineffective speechmaker whose proposal to hike the income tax by 3^ climaxed a vaguely-written, uninspiring State of the State address. A second side revealed a relaxed, confident, determined Governor who can­ didly explained to state newspaper publishers why he was calling for the tax increase and budget cuts. The State of the State speech did not win over many legislative votes. Instead, it marked the start of negotiations over the substance of Blanchard's fiscal plan. His talk to the publishers established that we would be dealing with an aggressive leader who knows how serious Michigan's budget crisis is — and firmly believes that he has the proper longrange solution to it. The negotiations will be intense. The Problem. New leadership is an opportunity. It allows us to take a fresh look at old problems. A philosophically-balanced group of business and labor leaders — known as the Financial Crisis Coun­ cil — was appointed by Blanchard to do just that. The Council defined three major budgetary issues that need immediate and long-term attention: 1) The state's growing cash flow problem threatens its ability to meet current obligations. Without corrective action, the cash shortage will mushroom to • 1.1 billion by September. This is why. as an emergency action, the Governor has postponed in­ definitely $500 million of February state aid payments to schools, universities and local gover­ nments. 2) Last summer's assumptions of a slow economic recovery have been torpedoed by 7.6% unem­ ployment, rising welfare caseloads and shrinking tax revenues. Despite the passage of a modest $4.57 billion 1982-83 budget - lower than state spending in 1980 - the projected deficit for this fiscal year is $750 to $850 million. This is 16% to 19% of the en­ tire general fund budget. 3) Accounting gimmickery since 1975 has com- pounded the deficit problem. In truth the budget is out of balance by an additional $762 million because of deviations from generally accepted accounting principles. These bookkeeping practices are not illegal. However, they have been a factor in the lowering of Michigan's credit rating, thus causing higher borrowing costs. * The Response. To deal with this growing fiscal crisis, liberal and conservative Crisis Council mem­ bers alike recommended a 30% income tax hike, from 4.6% to 6.0%, phased out over three years. Also proposed was $325 million in across-the-board budget cuts this year. Responding to the Council's report, the Governor decided to be more cautious in predicting economic recovery. He is assuming a $900 million budget deficit for 1982-83. He is not counting on a return to the years of auto-production prosperity. These assumptions are his justification for proposing a permanent tax hike, from 4.6% ro 6.1% - plus a tem­ porary .25% surcharge to tliminate gradually the •763 million of accounting deviations. Another reason for Blanchard's proposed 38% income tax hike is his decision to cut spending by $225 million $100 million less than the amount recommended by his council. The new Governor's conservative outlook on economic recovery and his bold desire to tackle long­ term accounting problems are long overdue. But I believe his proposed solutions to the state s fiscal crisis must be modified. More on this next week.

UPDATE by Robert Bonder STATE REPRESENTATIVE • 88th HOUSE DISTRICT Now we have before us the Governor's proposal to solve the state’s budget deficit. With a proposed 38% income tax increase, and a rather modest $225 million in cuts proposed, it seems clear that the tax increase side of the equation is receiving top priority. Tough questions will have to be asked by those of us in the legislature over the next several weeks. The first and most important question is: How necessary is a permanent tax increase? In his State of the State address. Governor Blan­ chard called for a permanent 1.5 percentage increase in the income tax to ward off the threats of a growing deficit. That increase would produce $675 millinn towards offsetting a shortfall that he now estimates could reach $900 million by the end of the fiscal year.

The additional 0.25 percent would make the total tax increase 1.75 percent, or 38 percent higher than it is now. For a family of four earning 20,000 a year, the total tax increase would add $245 to the annual tax bill. Although I am realistic about Michigan’s finan­ cial difficulties, T have not seen sufficient evidence to warrant the enactment of a permanent tax in­ crease. While the Governor is forecasting a $900 million deficit, one legislative fiscal agency projects the shortfall at less than $700 million. Whose figures are we to believe? We need that question an­ swered also. Secondly ... how serious is the Governor in trying to cut the budget? While he has submitted $225 million in cuts, of which and estimated $125 million are mere deferrals, and has called for the abolish­ ment of 30 commissions, I think more reductions are necessary. During the next six or eight weeks, many battles will be fought over which programs remain, whose budget is cut deepest, and whose sacred cows are slaughtered. Now, more than ever, we in the Legislature need to examine the necessity of several state programs. Instead of instituting a "quick fix" tax approach, we need to break with some of our past practices to develop a leaner, more efficient state government. A permanent tax increase and subsequent windfall would preclude any senous debate about limiting kthe duplication and waste in state government. If the Governor's tax plan is approved, it would come at a time when other state taxes are on the rise. In recent months, higher gasoline taxes, higher vehicle taxes, higher cigarette taxes, and higher unemployment compensation taxes have been ap­ proved. If the permanent tax plan is adopted, Michigan will get its biggest total tax increase in history. With a national reputation as a state that severely taxes its businesses and citizens, how can Michigan ever hope to regain its financial stamina? Such an oppressive tax system will certainly deter businesses from coming to Michigan and will also give pause to any individuals who might move here. Having asked these questions, I cannot support the Blanchard permanent tax plan because of its devastating impact on Michigan's citizens and its detrimental effect on the state’s financial future. I believe that Michigan’s tax structure is at least adequate to support a decent level of services in normal times. The Governor has not shown the Legislature, nor the people of this state, that the present tax structure would be inadequate for fiscal 1984 and beyond, and, unless he is willing to negotiate on the issue of a permament tax increase, I will work to defeat his proposals. No one doubts there is a budget deficit. The overriding question is how best to face the fiscal dilemma — do we pass a temporary tax increase combined with the responsible cuts in the state budget or do we enact a permanent income tax plan that will preserve and enlarge state services once the economy recovers?

The discovery of many important drugs for the body and mind has. in recent years, been followed by an over-reliance on drugs not only to control or cure disease and to relieve pain but to ease tensifons. quiet nerves, induce sleep, lose weight, provide stimulation. The pressures of contemporary life, overprescribing and heavy advertising of drugs to doctors and to patients have combined to make drug-taking an accepted way of life. The media continually reinforces our “take something" lifestyle. In addition to portraying drugs as beneficial, pleasurable and fashionable, ad­ vertising on radio and TV and in newspapers and magazines exerts a particular power over the con­ sumer. “Feeling tired? Rundown?" The potential customer feels he is being addressed personally, and yes, now that you mention it, he is feeling tired, rundown, depressed. An important reason for the ef­ fectiveness of much advertising is its appeal to psychological as well as physical needs. Not only will a product make the user look better, feel better, and smell better, it will make him more masculine, her more feminine. It will make the user more desirable, socially acceptable, youthful, confident. There is no guarantee that a drug viewed favorably today will not be rejected tomorrow. At one time opium was the drug of fashion, until its ad­ dictive quality was brought to public attention. Heroin was thought to be a safe, non-addicting sub­ stitute for morphine when first manufactured in 1898. Not until the 1960s when the thalidomide babies were born with stunted limbs did medical science become aware of the dangers of that prescription drug. Today, marijuana is used by many people who consider it harmless, although new studies question this. Society understandably tends to be impatient to use a new drug as quickly as possible. However, many lives would be saved and much grief preven­ ted if our philosophy were one of caution about using a drug before its long-term effects have been adequately assessed, “long-term" may be a matter of years. It took fifty years of regular use to THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 10.1983 discover that barbiturates are addicting. Not only are we learning new things about familiar drugs, but new drugs are continually being discovered. Though we value the miracles of science, the medical profession and the public should adopt a more cautious attitude. Of the many “solutions" to the drug problem, none have proved fully effective to date if the con­ tinuing escalation in drug misuse and abuse is any index. Obviously, we need laws to regulate the manufacture, distribution and use of drugs, but no amount of legislation prevents the destructive effec­ ts of abuse of drugs. Of equal importance are the at­ titudes of society. Often they are more persuasive than the law. Attempts to control society's use and misuse of drugs usually are exercises in frustration, because drug usage has become a social norm. The basic problem is not drug abuse, it is learning how to live. BILLIE'S BEAUTY SALON “ON THE LAKE" 555 S SHORE DRIVE — GREEN LAKE CALL 891-8017 Open days and Evenings By Appointment BILLIE RUSSELL.

Recycling household cans, glass, plastic milk jugs and newspapers in Kent County is really very easy. If you’re not already recycling - or even if you are • you may not realize how simple it can be. Labeling on Glass can Stay You don’t have to take labels off from glass bot­ tles and jars to recycle. When glass is recycled, it is melted at very high temperatures and labels are not a problem. Just make sure the caps are removed and the containers are clean. Labels on Cans and Milk Jugs Must Come Off Plastic milk jugs and metal cans cannot be recycled unless the labels are removed. Labels generally peel off from cans easily, but you may need some suggestions on removing labels from milk jugs: 1. Hot water, certain milk labels peel right off with a little hot water in the jug as you do your dishes, or 2. Scissors or knife: cut the labels out. (While youre at it, you might try cutting the milk jugs into two halves and stacking them together to save space in your kitchen and Recycle Unlimited’s barrels.) A Few Other Instructions Take both ends off of cans and flatten them. Flatten milk jugs as much as possible Make sure all containers are rinsed clean and caps removed. You don’t need to remove metal rings from wine bottles. Consider buying milk with imprinted labeling rather than paper labels. For the Recycling station nearest you, please call the Recycling Information Line, 774-6889. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ BETTY'S Master Marketing Concept Beauty Salon Former Diamonds Direct have started a more realistic and profitable business.

The winning students and their teachers will be incited to a national space shuttle sym­ posium where they will have the opportunity to discuss their proposals with N.A.S.A. officials. Although many good experiments were designed, only four were submitted. Seniors Phil Teater, Jim Verlinde and Chris Noah, and junior Michelle Hurst have sent their experiments to N.A.SA, officials for judging. Chris’ experiment deals with a comparison of sensible and insensible perspiration on earth and in space. Chris feels that low gravity should cause the astronauts metabolic rate to be lowered and that measuring perspiration rates will prove him correct. Michelle’s experiment is an attempt to see how low gravity affects the way ants burrow and con­ struct their living quarters. An understanding of how other animals adapt to low gravity may yield clues to aid us in living in space Phil’s experiment involves measuring the astronauts maximum work capacity on earth and on the shuttle. According to Phil, the purpose of the experiment is to deliver the optimum amount of Sign exercise astronauts should perform to remain in top This year's sluggers!

Older citizens, single people, families without children, as well as families with children are eligible for help. You can be recommended by your pastor or by a social service agency - or you can come by your own choice. The Food Bank is located in the basement of the United Methodist Church on Church Street in Middleville, which is just north of Central Garage. You can call Mrs. Amos Palmer, 795-3090, Mrs. Dan Bartlett, 7957211, or Mrs. Gordon McWhinney 795-9200, to meet you at the church. The Food Bank is part of a project organized by the Community Action Agency of Central Michigan, Barry County branch. In Middleville it is sponsored by the Middleville Women's Reading Club with Mrs. Palmer as chairman. Basically, it is a local project. So far, donations of food and money have come in from churches, factories and in­ dividuals, and a group of neighbors. More con­ tributions are expected. Although the Food Bank is located in the United Methodist church, it is a project of ALL the local churches, as well as factories, service clubs and in­ dividuals. A group of local pastors met at the church on Tuesday, February 1, to become acquainted with the project. Mrs. Myron Williams, a member of the board of Barry County's Love, Inc., explained that new organization to the group. Love, Inc., is a coalition of all the churches of Barry County, whose purpose is to serve as a clearing house or oversight committee for services to the needy. It already has a comprehensive list of services available such as food, clothing, emergency housing (spouse abuse), fuel, etc. Each church will have this list. It has divided the county into areas. Middleville's area is all of Thomapple and Yankee Springs townships. These boundaries are only general guidelines, of course. Love, Inc., also will keep a card file on people helped to avoid duplication of services. If you are in need of help, or know of someone needy, contact us.

The com­ munity attendance was just great and by that at­ tendance we were able to realize $1,000.00 after ex­ penses. We boosters could not possibly succeed in helping our children at school without the moral and monetary help of the community. Thank you so very much from all of us. Now to our entertainers. Mr. Nash, your jazz band is just fantastic. What a great feeling you must get when you stand before them and hear that great music and see the en­ thusiasm painted on their faces. Mr. Perry, you and your aerobic dancers were terrific. The girls were very generous in sharing their routines with us, and what great costumes! Mr. Hart, you came through again for me and even though you had to add to your group right at the food fest, they came thru with flying colors. Ethnic dancing is always a plus for this type of festival. Mrs. Baerman, your young clowns did a great job and they are to be commen­ ded for a job well done. To each and every one of the entertainers a very large “Thank You." I hope you enjoyed performing as much as we enjoyed listening and watching! Now to our "Special Boosters"; I could write a book on how important and how appreciated you are. For the second year in a row, you’ve done an outstanding job of preparing, serving, and decorating. Not to mention the tremendous job of "set-up" and "tear-down.'' Without the "dirty dozen" there would be no Booster organization, for you are the backbone and the hands that do the work. Al Verlinde, Carl Featherly, and "Red" Mur­ phy, you’re all special to me, for any time we need you, you’re always there, running, doing and put­ ting forth that extra effort it takes to get these projects to work. Thank you so very much. A very special thank you goes to my husband, Harold, my son Harold Jr., to my son-in-law Fred Ainsworth, to Fred Wilshire and Walt Lucas, who always have to take on the heavy jobs, and they are always there for me. Without them we could never succeed.

FEBRUARY 17.1983 At Your Public Library By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistant When I was growing up single family units were the norm. Today you hear about and know many families that are apart. The society we live in has come a long way in the last twenty years in regards to accepting divorce. No matter how much society accepts, however, it must be hard for families to cope with a divorce situation. Each family situation is different, yet in some ways they are alike. Under­ standing how you feel, how other people have felt and what to expect must make life easier. As a result of society's general acceptance of divorce, many books have been written on the subject. If you need guidelines and advice, perhaps some of the following books would help you. Explaining to children about an upcoming divor­ ce must be difficult. Eda LeShan, in her book. What's Going to Happen to Me? explains how to deal with your child's feeling of guilt and anxiety. She helps answer the many questions children will have about their new living situation. No matter what your specific circumstances are. the book will help you help your child through the rough time. Traditionally, custody was awarded to the mother in a divorce settlement. Thankfully, many judges, lawyers and parents are beginning to realize that it isn’t always in the best interest of the children. One of the alternatives increasingly practiced is that of both having custody after divorce. In her book, Sharing Parenthood After Divorce, Ciji Ware ex­ plains how this works and why it is a good alter­ native for many families. Her major point is that children need both parents. When a divorce occurs and custody is given to the mother, this means she needs an income also. Em­ ployment removes her from the home scene and the children need both parents. When a divorce occurs and custody is given to the mother, this means she needs an income also. Employment removes her from the home scene and the children are left with neither parents. Single Parents are People Tool by Murdock helps helps the newly divorced person recover some self esteem and adjust to a social life as a single. Even suggestions on time stretching, best bets in babysitting and money advice are included. Since divorce and remarriage are on the rise, so then must step-parenting. It’s a difficult situation when new rules are introduced to a family by a new step-parent. At the same time it must be quite a shock to some step parents on becoming instant parents. Life styles, methods of discipline, new brothers and sisters and much more are discussed in the book Making it as a Stepparent by Claire Ber­ man. Divorce is not the only upheaval to the single unit family. In the last ten years both parents working has become common. How to Live Separately Together by Dick Irish explains that although lifestyles are changing, family units are workable if we are working at what we love and living with who we love. All of these books are available at the Public Library in the Public Non-fiction section. They should help you understand and deal with your unique family situation. Richard J. Choryan, O.D.

FEBRUARY 17,1983 Caledonia’s 8th Graders Basketball Champs Of OK Blue League' With the memory of an overtime loss to Mid­ dleville during regular season play, the Fighting Scots traveled to TK for tournament action January 28th. First half scoring was very limited on both ends of the court as Caledonia went to the locker room with a 10-8 advantage. However, good “headsup* ’ basketball by the Scots during the second half lead to several steals which were converted to poin­ ts. Jerry Groendyke lead the team with 6 steals. Leading scorers for Caledonia in the 38-28 victory were Matt Kietzman 14, Bob Weaver and Groen­ dyke, 8 each. Others adding points for the Scots were Don Bonzheim 4 and Jim Buer and Paul Lantinga 2 each. On January 31. the Scots went up against a foe who had beaten them in regular season . but their fired-up, aggressive play created many turnovers as a confused and tired Hudsonville team trailed 18-4 at the half. While experiencing a slight let-down, the Scots were outscored 11-10 in the third period. Not to be denied the victory, however, the Caledonia squad again gained control of the game with steals by Kietzman and Bonzheim and rebounds by Weaver. Scoring for the Scots in the 32-26 victory were Kietzman 10, Weaver and Groendyke 8 each. Dennis. Johnson, Buer and Todd Hooten with 2 points each.

During the second period Comstock Park narrowed the Scot lead as they outscored Caledonia 18-14 to go into the intermission down by 8, 30-38.

UI 49053 comp The Sun and News Your Hometown Newspaper Serving Middleville and Caledonia TWENTY CENTS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24,1983 • MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 113th YEAR • NUMBER 8 PUBLIC FORUM Alcoholism, Abuse Shatters Families In an attempt to increase communications bet­ ween the people of the community, Gerald Page, superintendent of the TK Schools, met with local ministers. One of the topics that was discussed con­ cerned how school guidance counselors and ministers could better work together to help those people in need Several ideas were presented one of which is to conduct a public forum in the newspapers. Questions will be presented and answered by people of the community. This week the forum begins with several questions posed for Tony McLain, TK High School counselor, and Pastor Wesley Smith from the First Baptist Church of Middleville. In the future, other citizens, and community leaders will be called upon to offer their ideas and opinions. IN YOUR VIEW, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE NEEDS FACING THE MID­ DLEVILLE AND FREEPORT AREA? C.Scott Photo From Tony McLain: The problems I see in the Middleville-Freeport area are not unique to this area and unfortunately reflect several national trends. Most of these problems seem to be related to our current low priority for the human condition. While family and human problems have always existed, recent moves have put these problems on a low priority basis, at the same time the need level for help in these areas is at its highest point. Child abuse, alcoholism, family violence, unem­ ployment with all its secondary problems, drug dependence, and low status of public education are all problems that affect our local community daily, and yet we seem to have come to accept these problems to such a degree that we no longer try to change them. Alcoholism is a perfect example of the low priority we place on social problems at this time. National figures show that one of every three families is affected by alcohol abuse, with one of every eight adults who drink, becoming an alcoholic. In Kent County one of every three students in high school have already had a problem with alcohol and nationally, 14 teenagers a day die in alcohol related accidents. We have experienced this type of loss in our own community a number of times. Our nation loses 60 billion dollars a year in lost time and retraining due to alcoholism and yet nothing happens. Very few churches, schools, businesses, community leaders or government organizations even mention the problem, much less make an effort to deal with it. This reflects our tendency to not involve our­ selves in helping others. If my neighbors abuse their kids, my brother-in-law beats his wife, my best friend drinks a little too much, or the school has to close its library, those are all somebody else's problem and I’ll stay out of it, because I’ve got problems of my own. This attitude of non-concem for others and focus on self, which permeates our local area and our nation is what I feel is the biggest problem we face today. THE PUBLIC FORUM CONTINUES ON PAGE 16 “Aw, come on ref — what was that for?" Sometimes in the ‘heat of the battle’ basketball coaches don’t quite see the game the same as those guys running around in the stripped shirts. As you can see in this photo - taken last Fri­ day night in Caledonia - TK Coach Skip Pranger (at left) lias just questioned why his player got that third foul. And, you can also see the referee is telling the coach! Meanwhile the Caledonia coaches (seated at right) are waiting their turn to jump in when a call goes the other way. Such are the fortunes of high school basketball. TK won this contest by one point — see the Sport’s Page in this week’s Sun and News.

Caledonia Jaycees Seeking New Members Caledonia area Jaycees are planning an open house for 7 p.m., March 8, in the basement of the State Bank of Caledonia. Bob Becker, Grand Rapids Press sports editor, will be the main speaker.The open house is an open invitation to join now. The chapter is in dire need of new members. It is necessary to increase the membership by its April meeting. Due to age requirements and relocation of members, the chapter will have to increase in size to retain its state charter. Loss of the Jaycees in this community would bring an end to several annual community events. Some of the events sponsored by the Caledonia Jaycees are the Easter Egg Hunt, Fourth of July Celebration and Santa Parae., The Jaycees are a leadership training organization. Their goal is to develop the abilities of their members through involvement in community projects and free educational programs sponsored by the Michigan Jaycees. Men between 18-35 years interested in learning more about the Jaycee concept are invited to attend. Zoltan “Yogi” Berensci Membership Chairman Caledonia Jaycees Study ing in Ireland PRESS JOINT COMPOUND INTO FINE CRACKS UNDERCUT WIDER CRACKS BEFORE FILLING WITH PATCHING COMPOUND Piaster cracks form in walls and ceilinp as a result of movement of the support framing, which is caused by normal expansion and con* traction of the frame under load and with the change of seasons They're nothing to be ashamed of, but they can be ugly. Thomas H. Jones, a regu­ lar contributor to Mechtmix Illustrated, suggests that they be fixed this way. Hairline cracks are hard to patch because ith difficult to get the patching material deep into the crack. But joint compound, which is thin, can be forced into the crack with a heavy-duty putty knife, pressuring the blade almost flat against the surface and crisscrossing the crack. Remove the excess from the surface and sand smooth when dry. If the crack is a wide one (U inch or more), first scrape it dean and then undercut it with a beer-can opener to make sure the patching material stays in place Also, because all patching materials shrink, you'll have to pack oc a second layer after the first one has dried. If you have gypsum-board cracks where the taped edges of the board join, you may have to re-tape before patching in the standard manner Gregory Holzgen, son of Darwin and Elizabeth Holzgen, Parmalee Road, Middleville, and a student at Aquinas College, is spending the winter term in Tully Cross, Ireland as a participant in Aquinas’ 13th Annual Semester in Ireland program. He is one of 17 students who will live and learn in Tully Cross until April. The students have the op­ portunity to work in local schools and to visit many places of interest. Their studies will focus on Irish culture, especially literature and recreation. Aquinas offers the program each spring to students who wish to experience Irisu culture. The students are accompanied this year by Betty Taylor, assistant processor of health, recreation and physical education, and Elizabeth Jennings, associate professor of English. Brothers in 'Who's Who' William N. and David M. Scott, sons of Harry and Patricia Scott, 2910 Yankee Springs Road and students at Aquinas College, have been selected to have their names listed in the 1983 edition of Who s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. The Scotts are among 36 Aquinas students to be chosen for the honor, which is based on academic achievement, service to the community, leadership in extracurricular activities and future potential. Every year Who’s Who names students from more than 1300 institutions of higher learning in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and several foreign nations. Last week I wrote about two collections that should be utilized more. This week I d like to inform you of another. Last year we combined many books from all over the library to produce a reference sec­ tion. This section contains an incredible amount of information. I think if you are aware of this collec­ tion and how it works, you will be more inclined to seek answers and information here. Students have already found it valuable for research purposes. First of all. let me explain how this section operates. The collection is located in the middle sec­ tion (well) of the library to the right. Here the books are categorized by number. The number assigned the books is based on the Dewey Decimal Classification system. Ask your librarian for help if you can’t find the proper sources. Probably checking the index would be the most beneficial sin­ ce most are either a set of books or one big book. Please keep in mind that all information must be collected from these books within the library. They can not be checked out. We like to keep this collec­ tion intact for all to use at all times. Here are some examples found in the reference section. Many almanacs are found here. Almanacs report facts and statistics. They are put out yearly and cover everything from election returns to crop production. The Michigan Statistical Abstract is also available. It is a compilation of data concerning everything about Michigan. This is put out every 4 to 5 years. Other reference materials include: Guinness Book of World Records (annual copies). Religion Dic­ tionary, Book of Etiquette, Art Books. Music books. Books of Quotations, American Verse books and Who's Who Books. These are just a few. There are many more that I don’t have space to mention. There are encyclopedias for every need. These en­ cyclopedias are sets of books: Mythology, Military History, language and its origin, Animal IJfe, Com plete do-it-yourself encyclopedias, Encyclopedia of Sports, Georgraphy, History and Contemporary Authors encyclopedias. If, by some slim chance, you still have not found the reference book you need, check the basic en­ cyclopedia sets. There are twenty complete (we hope) sets, everything from Encyclopedia Britan­ nica to World Book to Encyclopedia Americana. Let’s say you have a bet with your buddy on who won the world series of 1963. He won’t pay up until he sees proof. Head for the Sports Encyclopedias. Perhaps you would like to know the population of China in 1980. Consult the World Almanac. Maybe you are giving a speech and would like to spice it up with a few quotes. Book of Quotations probably will help you. There are students who need broad infor­ mation to begin term papers. Most encyclopedias give you a good idea how to focus your paper. Whatever your questions or needs for information are, find out the easy way. Go to the library. Go to the reference section.

Middleville. Michigan THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24.1983 Food BuyLines^ Abundant Potato Crop is Bonanza for Consumers The 1982 crops of potatoes and onions were up substantially over those of a year earlier. This is a bonanza for hard-pressed consumers but bad news for producers. Prices to farmers for these com­ modities are so low that many of them are selling their products at or below the cost of production. The 1982 national potato crop was pegged at 30.7 billion pounds - 4 percent above that of a year earlier. Storage stocks held by growers and local dealers in the fall crop^iroducing areas totaled 17.3 billion pounds as of January 1. This is 6 percent greater than a year ago and practically guarantees that retailers will continue offering potatoes at sale prices. Look for the biggest bargains on russet burbank v rle pr,<^U9e they con’titute heavy supply. Increased acreage and high yields were responsible for the 2.2 billion pounds of onions that went into storage. Movement has been up over a year earlier but not enough to maintain last year's prices. Retail onion prices are off as much as two thirds from those of a year ago. Fresh cabbage is being harvested in the lower Rio Grande Valley and Winter Garden. Texas areas, as well as in Florida. Storage cabbage is also coming out of western and central New York. Retail prices are currently running as much as 40 percent below those of a year earlier. With more coming on in Texas and California because of increased acreage, it seems likely that cabbage will remain a bargain vegetable.

Cabbage and potatoes are good sources of vitamin C. while carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A. Carrots also contain some potassium and small amounts of other vitamins and minerals. In the amount nor­ mally consumed, the main contribution of onions is flavor, making the onion a cook’s best friend. Onions are a relatively good source of potassium when consumed as a vegetable. Select potatoes that are firm, relatively smooth, clean and reasonably well shaped. They should not .be badly cut or bruised . sprouted or light-burned with a greenish tint to skin. Store them in a dark, cool, dry place. Dry onions should be market in mesh bags they tend to rot in plastic. Examine dry onions for signs of rotting (soft areas) and greening, both of which contribute to waste. Store onions in a dark, cool, dry area, away from the potatoes. Top quality carrots are firm, fairly clean, well colored and smooth. The diameter should be not less than inch or more than inches. The tops or shoulders of carrots should not be green. Heads of cabbage should be firm and not cracked. Both carrots and cabbage should be wrapped in plastic and stored in the refrigerator.

Michigan PAGE FOUR STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STA TE REPRESENTA T1VE. 54th DISTRICT Presently, Governor Blanchard does not have enough votes in the legislature to enact the 38% in* come tax increase and 8225 million of budget cuts which he has proposed. The differences between lawmakers and the Governor are mainly a matter of degree: How large will this year’s deficit actually grow? How fast and how much will our state's economy recover? How severely should the budget cut and basic services be reduced? How high should taxes be raised, how long, and in what manner? Most lawmakers have not reached any final con­ clusions on these questions. As we study the problem, however, clear points of disagreement with the Blanchard plan are emerging in my own thinking: The Governor’s cautious outlook on economic recovery is healthy; his support for a permanent tax hike is not. Mr. Blanchard's tax hike-budget cutting proposal assumes at least a 8900 million budget deficit this year. It would be unwise for the legislature to place another shortsighted band-aid on the fiscal crisis by underestimating the problem. However, recent economic indicators and projec­ tions by legislative budget experts indicate a possible 1983 budget deficit of less than 8700 million. I lean more toward Blanchard's caution, but believe that any tax hike should be temporary so that a re-evaluation of the plan will take place after the economic trends have become more clear. The fact is that when recovery does take place in our state, the existing 4.6% income tax rate will be enough to provide necessary state services. Indeed, the highly-respected Citizens Research Council estimates that a 38% income tax increase would yield 8763 million more in fiscal year 1984 than it would this year. How will the Governor propose to spend this additional revenue? Budget-cutting and budget planning must come first. The Governor’s Financial Crisis Council ad­ vised that he trim state spending this year by 8325 million. Blanchard instead proposed 8225 million of cuts. Every effort must be made to squeeze nonessential and wasteful state spending from the budget before any tax hike is considered. I believe the program-cutting goal should more closely follow the Crisis Council’s recommendation. Further, across-the-board cutting must be avoided as much as possible. Governor is off to a good start by proposing to terminate 30 councils and commissions at a savings of 84.5 million. There is also evidence that his budget office is pressuring departments to eliminate whole programs rather than compromise the quality of all their functions. Tough program evaluation and priority setting are long overdue. Only after this budget-trimming exercise is com­ pleted should the final level of increased taxes be considered. Program evaluation, not a tax increase, should be permanent. Not all of the changes in state spending policies that other legislators and I would like to see can be accomplished this year. Aid to local com­ munities such as revenue sharing and school aid make up 41% of the state budget, and it would be unfair an unwise to cut so deeply in this area that local property taxpayers are forced to make up the difference. Presently 55% of the budget is allocated for human services such as mental health, medical care for the elderly and poor and basic welfare benefits. At a time when 17.6% of our citiziens are out of work and in trouble, deep slashes in this area are neither politically feasible nor morally just. During the next few years, however, basic policy changes can and must be made. The consolidation and coordination of higher education programs is necessary to preserve the excellence of our univer­ sity system during a decade of declining enrollment. The Medicaid budget is the fastest growing piece of the welfare pie, and long-term health care cost con­ tainment steps must be adopted. It will take time to root out unnecessary spending in all state depar­ tments. Governor Blanchard has stated firmly his commitment to shrink the size and scope of state government. He could show his good faith on that pledge by emphasizing his support for permanent evaluation practices — such as a sunset process — rather than stubbornly calling for a permanent tax increase. Revenne-raising options must also be reviewed. Raising the income tax is one practical way to gain the increased revenue necessary to balance the budget and keep basic services running during the current year. Another possibility which should be considered is to impose a 4% use t ax on services. I also support reinstating a 5%-of-gross pay con­ tribution to the state retirement system by teachers and state employees, although the constitutionality of this step needs to be resolved. The sales tax can­ not be raised without a vote of the people. However, placing on the 1984 ballot a measure to substitute a sales tax hike for any income tax increase enacted this year ought to be considered. These and other different ideas are being defined — and legislative efforts to arrive at a compromise are underway ★ In helping to promote a healthy economic climate, the state legislature must maintain a delicate balance. On the one hand, state taxes cannot be raised so high that businesses and citizens are discouraged from settling in Michigan. On the other hand, state services cannot be cut so much that we lose important assets that make our state an attrac­ tive place in which to live and grow — assets such as good schools, a decent transportation system, a clean environment and recreational opportunities. There is also the issue of public justice. A tax system which is so burdensome that citizens are discouraged from working, saving and investing in unfair and counter-productive. But a tax system which fails to address the needs of the hungry, sick and jobless among us is equally unfair and under­ mines our society. To resolve the 8750 to 8900 million budget deficit — 16% to 19% of the entire state general fund — by only raising taxes or only cutting services flies in the face of economic common sense and would not be just. I agree with the conclusion reached by a wide range of persons who have studied the state's financial crisis — liberals, conservatives, and public and private sector leaders: Immediate action must be taken to cut state programs and raise state taxes. Why We Are Where We Are. When the auto in­ dustry was booming in Michigan, state government grew too fast and too fat. Jobs were plentiful, yet welfare eligibility guidelines were too loose and state benefit levels were too generous. The number of state employees swelled as legislators invented new programs, which in turn led to more ad­ ministrative rules and regulations. In response to the government growth of the early 70’s, concerned taxpayers approved a state tax limitation proposal, better known as the Headlee Amendment. That 1978 amendment placed a constitutional limit on the percentage of the previous year’s personal income generated by all Michigan citizens which could be spent by the state in any given year. That lid was 10%. Political pressures and economic realities forced down the state spending-to-personal income ration from 10% in 1979 to 8.5% in 1982. Put another way. Michigan currently ranks a competitive 34th among the 50 states in tax burden when comparing the per­ centage of income generated in the states which is taxed. Meanwhile, state spending has dropped substan­ tially. The general fund budget for this year is less than it was two years ago. When factoring in the erosion of purchasing power due to inflation, the 1982 general fund budget was 4.9% less than the level of spending in 1972. Within the past two years, the state work force has been cut from nearly 72,000 to less than 60,000. Federal and state welfare eligibility rules have been tightened considerably. The legislature has reduced benefit levels by 11% in actual dollars since 1981. While average Michigan manufacturing earnings kept ahead of inflation by only 4.6% between 1969 and 1981. welfare benefits during the same period fell behind the cost of living by 40%. Still, in 1980, Michigan welfare benefit levels exceeded surroun­ ding state levels by 24%. But today that margin has narrowed to about 6%. State aid to education has not fared any better. During the past decade, per capita support of public higher education in Michigan has dropped from 5th among the 50 states to 45th. State aid to local public schools in 1983 is expected to be 81 billion less in purchasing power than it was ten years ago. The result is an increasing school finance burden for local property taxpayers. If state spending has declined so dramatically, why is the legislature wrestling with such a huge budget deficit? While the rest of the nation bemoans double digit unemployment for the second straight month, Michigan is in its 37th consecutive month of joblessness exceeding 10%. With 17.6% of our work force unemployed presently, more citizens are going off of the tax rolls and onto the welfare rolls. Welfare benefits are lower, but nearly 15% of our population now qualifies for assistance as unem­ ployment benefits run out. Certainly waste, duplication of service, and over­ regulation remain in the state budget. Certainly spending priorities must be re-evaluated. But I have not heard one legislator or private citizen outline a just and reasonable plan to cut 8750 million to 8900 million from the current state budget. The challenge facing lawmakers is to arrive at a responsible balan­ ce of program cuts and a tax hike to resolve the fiscal crisis. CLASSIFIED ADS CAN BUY OR SELL!

Michigan THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24.1983 4H Experience Not Just “Cows and Cookin9 99 ROVING REPORTER With HAZEL McCAU L It has been a long held belief that 4-H was for “farm kids” and that you couldn't really have a 4-H club in the city because “where are you gonna raise a cow?” But the real truth of the matter is that 4-H has over 150 different project areas that expand far beyond its traditional roots of “cows and cookin’." Because now 4-H is also doing things like “creative arts and computers, too.!” Another thing that 4-H also is, is flexible! We have clubs ranging in size from just a few kids, up to and over fifty kids. Some clubs just stick to one project; others become actively involved in literally “dozens” of project areas. Some clubs meet once a week, others only find it necessary to meet once a month. Some clubs run by formal parliamentary procedure, while others simply use an open discussion format to get things done. So, when you really get right down to it, the 4-H leaders and 4-H members set up their clubs to best fit their needs, not to any conforming standards that are handed down. 4-H is also free! While clubs can, if they wish, charge dues to help raise funds to plan activities, there are no fees or charges to pay the county, state or national 4-H organizations. "Free” also means people don’t have to pay for any costly uniforms either. Basically, a 4-H-er will pay for the material it takes to make or support their project. It is a goal of the 4-H staff in Kent County that no child be turned away because of lack of money. Many of the project materials can be found for nothing! The major objective of a 4-H program is to help 4H members gain “Life Skills” with a “learning by doing” or “hands on" type of experience. The 4-H project simply serves as a method of teaching these skills to young people. 4-H also has many benefits for its leaders, too! Everything from receiving free publications to areas of interest, to having paid-for training at the state 4-H training resort located nor­ th of here in Tustin. MI. But the biggest benefit that they receive and I feel most 4-H leaders would agree on is seeing the growth in both their 4-H kids and also themselves as a result of being involved in 4-H. 4-H can always use good people to help out. In­ terested volunteers can become involved within a range of one day (at a special event) to up to 35 years or more as one 4-H leader, Mrs. Olga Sabin of Ken­ twood, hasdonw. So, if you are interested in yourself, your child, or both, give us a call at the 4-H office, 774-3265, and find out the exciting things happening in 4-H today both in the country and in the city too.

FEBRUARY 24.1983 The Sun and News Sports Page Rough & Tumble Contest; TK Wins Six TK Wrestlers Regional Qualifiers by Jim Ver Linde Last Friday night saw two teams abounding in talent above, knock and hack each other in thirst of remaining in the OK Blue race. The end saw Thor­ napple Kellogg ward off a Caledonia surge to become sole possessors of second place by a score of 74-73. Overaggressi veness became the name of the game for both squads as each team sent three players to the pine with five fouls. Three more finished with four fouls to their name. In all. 58 fouls were com­ mitted throughout the course of the night. A tough rebounding battle saw TK grab 31 boar­ ds to the Scots’ 28. Free-throw shooting also was close as the Trojans hit 68 percent of their free tosses and Caledonia sank 66 percent. Field goals, however, made the difference for the Orange as they connected on 52 percent of their attempts from the floor while the Purple and Gold dropped just 39 per­ cent. The Scots depended on two people to do the majority of their scoring. Mike Wilson led the way with 22 points, 12 of which came in Caledonia's fourth quarter rally. Ron Schultz followed close behind, tallying 17 for his cause. Balance once again proved effective for TK as five athletes reached double figure scoring. Senior guard Jim Schipper paced the attack with 18 points followed by Jeff Kerber with 13. Dave VanSickle with 12 and Brian Miller and brother Steve each with 11. Taking turns dishing the ball off from the point guard position, Schipper and VanSickle com­ bined for 13 assists. Schipper also added six steals. Tomorrow night.

At 145 pounds, Randy Winchester, who has been improving every week, wrestled well in the fir­ st 3 rounds to get into the finals. In the champion­ ship match Randy was against Juan Solorzano of Union City. A slow start cost Randy his chance at a district title as Solorzano got out to a 6-1 lead and was able to hang on to win 9-6. The Trojans got third place finishes from Brent Cisler, 167, and Mark Lloyd 198. Brent started with a 14-9 win and then added a 10-5 decision before getting beat 5-3 by Pat Grundy of Kelloggsville.

At 198 lbs., Mark Lloyd started with a pin in 1:35 and added another in the second round in 1:47. In the 3rd round, ‘Mark lost a close 8-4 match to Chris Breen of Kelloggsville. A takedown and 2 point ntMU fall in the last 10 seconds was the difference in the match. In his next match, Mark built an early 8-2 lead and then hung on for a 9-8 win and 3rd place. Placing fourth for the Trojans were Chris Yonkers at 155 and Jeff Wohlford at Hvy. Chris drew a bye in the first round and then won a hard fought 15-12 decision.

Godwin who had not won a game all year, looked like they wanted to win more than Middleville. They came out running and shooting in the first quarter and gained a 13-12 lead. They increased it to 4 at 2521 at half time. In the second half, Middleville started their comeback. They had the lead by 1 point at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, a good defensive effort gained the victory as the Trojans outscored Godwin 12 to 6. Jerry Steele had an outstanding game as he scored 16 of his 20 points in the second half. Mike kMyers pumped in 14 points. Jim Vandenberg had 6, Jon Scott 4 and Scott King and Greg Newman each had 2. This win put the Freshman record at 9 wins and 8 losses. THIS CARD | COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE YOU LOVE | Frosh Nip Delton Middleville Freshman won a very close ball game Tuesday by defeating Delton 47-46. It was all Mid­ dleville in the first half as they took a first quarter lead 8-5 and increased it to 11 points after an 18 to 10 second quarter, and they led at the half 26-15. Delton came back in the third quarter and outscored the Trojans to tie the game going into the final period. It was a very good even quarter and the Trojans came out on top by 1 point and one the game by that point. Coach J eltea said it showed that the freshmen are maturing and do not falter under pressure. Mike Myers had a season high in scoring 29 poin­ ts. Jerry Steel scored 7. Scott King came off the bench to contribute 5. Jim Vandenberg returned af­ ter injury problems to score 4 points. Brian Smith had 2 and Jon Moretti had 1. Jon Scott played an nut standing floor game Ikand had 7 assists Myers led the rebounders with 14 and was followed by Steele and Vandenberg with 9 and 8. MONUMENTS tot How Does it Work?

Michigan counselor’s corner BY BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counselor Drugs — use, misuse, abuse. Guidance for families. Taken from Public Affairs Pamphlet No. 515. Margaret Hill, Author. Generational differences — Paul Goldhill, a psychiatrist who specializes in the treatment of adolescent drug abusers, says it is important for a child to have “strong feelings of self-worth” and to have a “supportive relationship with his parents." According to Goldhill, drug abuse usuaUy indicates “a psychic craving for chemical substances.” Con­ flict between the generations about drugs occurs because, for one, adults do not think in terms of this “psychic craving” in connection with their own in­ dulgences. Adults use drugs to kill pain, relieve ten­ sion, induce sleep, bolster confidence, be like the crowd, bring comfort, socialize, relax, lose weight, escape. The adult might list the drugs he or she commonly uses — caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, aspirin, tranquilizers, to name a few — and consider the following: Would I quit using them if they were declared illegal? Do I drink coffee because I like the flavor or because I’m a nervous wreck without it? Do I rush for a cigarette because my nerves are in tatters? Do I head for the aspirin bottle at the slightest suggestion of pain? How often and for what reasons do I drink? Do I use pep pills for extra energy or to lose weight? Do I rely on barbiturates to get to sleep? What about the family medicine cabinet? Does it contain thirty or more medications — the alar­ mingly high average for an American family? Are some of the medications old prescriptions that weren't thrown out after the user, medication, pur­ pose, date? Do I ask the doctor or pharmacist whether it is safe to drive or operate machinery after taking the medication? Do I take only the prescribed amount? Do I rush members of the family to the doctor for minor ailments and insist on some kind of medication? Whatever the answers to such questions, a family must rely on some prescriptions and other drugs. We should remember, though, that a certain amount of pain and discomfort is a natural part of life, and that drugs don ’t cure everything. Illegal drugs, of course, evoke more panic than legal ones. When challenged by young people about their overuse of alcohol, adults counter with “At least it’s legal.” Society regards more unfavorably the occasional marijuana smoker than the person who is hooked on prescription barbiturates. “But the drugs teenagers use are more harmful” say adults. More harmful than physically addicting barbiturates? More harmful than coal tars? More damaging than alcohol? “Teenagers are in their developing years,” say adults, “they haven't learned how to handle drugs.” And adults have? With ten million alcoholics in the United States? With a significant percentage of barbiturates and amphetamines going through illegal channels? When approximately half of high­ way fatalities involve drinking drivers? With the combination of alcohol and barbiturates con­ tributing to many deaths? Whether or not adults like it, young people have incorporated drugs into their culture. According to the 1973 Purdue Opinion Poll survey, most American high-schoolers have tried alcohol and cigarettes by the age of 14, and more than oneeighth have experimented with marijuana. In a sur­ vey of high school leaders, conducted by Educational Services of Avon products, three out of four 6,000 oartucuoabts saud a dryg oribken existed in their schools. The younger generation’s attitude toward law is often one of disenchantment. Adults claim to respect existing law; the young tend to obey those rules and laws that “make sense” to them. In a 1973 San Mateo County, California survey of student drug misuse in grades ten through twelve, marijuana use was more commonly reported than tobacco use. The survey was based on 30,000 responses in 61 schools. A healthy compromise in the law-and-order con­ flict might be for adults to recognize that not all laws are sound just because they are on the books, and for youth to recognize that laws should be obeyed until they are changed. Both generations should work toward improved legislation. Admittedly, there are generational differences in ideas, values and philosophies. The task of the generations is not to change the other guy, but to understand those differences and give each other elbow room. Some things remain old-fashioned . . .

MAIN STREET / MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN BOOTH AGENCY PHONE 795-3694 497 AribgtM, MHdtevI* ★ 795-3302 �Lansing UPDATE by tobert Bender STATE REPRESENTATIVE • 88th HOUSE DISTRICT While things are really never “dull” here at the CapitoL the voting thus far in the House of Representatives has, at least, been uncontroversial and hasn't generated any fights or heated ex­ changes. I suspect that the tranquility may well be shattered very soon as the “Winds of War" are blowing a tax package ever closer to debate on the floor. Having dealt with that tax issue, and my views on it, in our last column, I’ll not dwell on it further. There are, however, a number of other potentially controversial issues that have been introduced, and are at varying stages in the Legislative process. I would welcome your thoughts on the following and, of course, any other issues. A joint resolution to create a Constitutional amendment limiting the terms of office for governor of the State of Michigan to two four year terms has been introduced. If approved by the Michigan House and Senate, the resolution would be placed on the general election ballot in November, 1984 in the form of a constitutional amendment, for final ap­ proval by Michigan voters. While the resolution would prohibit a governor from seeking a third term, Michigan’s current governor, James Blanchard, would be exempt from the constitutional change. In other words, you can’t change the rules of the game after the game has begun. The amendment states that a person shall not be elected to the office of governor more than twice, and a person who has held the office of governor, or acted as governor, for more than two years of a term BILLIE'S BEAUTY SALON PAGE THIRTEEN Middleville Sw end Caledonia New*.

While some states have laws that state that a governor cannot seek more than two consecutive terms, the Michigan proposal would strictly limit service to any two ter­ ms, consecutive or not. Legislation requiring evaluation and possible termination of at least 30 percent of the state s agencies and programs during the next ten years has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives by Republican lawmakers. Under the provisions of the bill, a review committee would inventory the programs and agencies in state government, put a termination date on at least 30 percent and then evaluate the programs on their merits, effectiveness and cost. Constitutionallymandated programs would be exempt from the “sunset" process, but remaining programs and agencies would be required to prove their worth before the review committee terminated them. YOU and YOUR VISION By Richard J. Choryan, O.D. Michigan House Journal Now in Area Libraries In an effort to better inform the public, Stat* Representative Robert Bender (R-Middleville) will begin distributing copies of the Michigan House Journal this week to area libraries. The House Journal contains a complete record ol all bills and resolutions considered by the House, said Bender. It also contains a list of how each representative voted on each roll call. “Reading the House Journal is an excellent way for all my constituents in the 88th District to keep up-to-date on what's happening in the Legislature." said Bender. “I’d like to encourage everyone in my area to visit their local library and stay better in­ formed by using this factual and concise guide to the Michigan House's activities." Local area libraries to receive the Journal will be the Freeport District Library. Freeport: Hastings Public Library, Hastings; Thornapple Kellogg School and Community Library, Middleville. “If anyone has a question or comment on my voting record after reading the Journal I welcome you to contact my office. I look forward to hearing from constituents about any legislative concern.” said Bender. Local Man Meets Governor Signs to Watch For Many parents have asked,“When should I begin to have my children's eyes checked?" All children should have their eyes examined by their eye doctor prior to entering school. If there is a vision problem, it can be taken care of before school. To wait too long can put undue strain on one's eyes or they may fall behind in school because of an un­ detected nearsighted problem. Some signs to look for when trying to determine whether a vision problem may exist are: • Loses place while reading; • Cannot concentrate for any length of time; • Holds reading material closer than normal; • Shows excessive head or body movement; • Tends to rub eyes frequently; • Often has headaches; • Seems tense during close work or while looking at distant objects; • Turns or tilts the head to use one eye only; • Has poor handwriting; • Performs below potential; and • Uses finger to maintain place while reading. These signs may indicate a possible vision problem and an exam should be strongly considered. On February 3, Leo Schondehnayer. a former Middleville resident who now lives in Freeport, had the best 65th birthday ever. Leo. who is a deaf mute and who has not been able to communicate in any way for 63 years, was in Lansing with his friends. Dorothy Kellogg. Phyllis Phenix and brother Clarence Schondehnayer for an evaluation of his potential. Leo got the chance many of us do not get. He had a personal guided tour of the capitol by a secretary to the Democratic Majority leader, and then to top it all off. he was able to shake hands with Governor Blanchard.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MOST SERIOUS PROBLEMS FACING OUR YOUTH TODAY? An individual with a strong values system and good decision malting skills will be able to deal with all of the problems listed, and any others that might appear. The trend, however, has been to avoid teaching youth moral values to guide them in decision making Schools have learned, through numerous lawsuits, that society doesn’t want schools teaching values or morality (like they used to) and this has left a vacuum in this area that no other organization has picked up. This, in turn, leaves many young people vulnerable to a variety of problem areas. If we as a community and nation fail to confront this single issue, we will have to continue to struggle with a growing number of youth involved in problems as well as an expanding number of problem areas. 10% to 15% OFF QUALITV UPHOLSTERV HOW CAN THE EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL, SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF PEOPLE BE BEST MET? From Wes Smith: People need to be honest with themselves, and this is difficult to do. Human pride is the biggest obstacle to getting along with others, as well as being in submission to God. We have a multitude of needs and Jesus told us to see God first and then everything else will begin to fall in place. We build walls between ourselves; we hide behind our frail ex­ cuses: we run from exposure to our real needs; we sweep problems under the rug.

From Wes Smith: Alcoholism and drug abuse have reached an epidemic level in some communities. Who is to deny that it is a problem here? There may be more sexual abuse in our families than any of us know. Teenage experiments with sex not only result in pregnancies, but long-range guilt and hostilities. Peer pressure is very strong to conform. I think the Acid Rock, hard rock music with its message of immoral rebellious behavior contributes treatly to teen delinquewncy.

It probably was the first time that I was ever speechless, but needless to say the element of surprise does have its dividends. “We graciously accept the beautiful plaque on behalf of the special group of boosters known as the ‘dirty dozen.’ We, above all, know that without their work and dedication, nothing could be accomplished. “Again, we say, Thank you and God bless you all.

Just drop them off at the high school cafeteria - your efforts will be appreciated. HEART JUMP Continued from pg 1 school curriculum. The proceeds will benefit the Michigan Heart Association.

Let’s keep America beautiful! This past week as I was out on my daily walks I noticed that many areas are quite cluttered with papers and trash.

I wonder how many readers watched the triple by­ pass graft heart surgery on Channel 35 last week. Dr. Sam Kinard was the cardiologist. Dr. Dietrick was the head surgeon and Mr. Bernard Schuler the patient. The surgery was done at St. Josephs Hospital and Medical Center at Phoenix. A vein was removed from the back of the patient’s leg and divided in three parts and connected to the aorta three places, and connected two places on one side of the heart and one on the other side, which will prolong the life of the patient. It was fabulous. The crew worked very coordinated together throughout the entire surgery. This has been done since 1968. A fire started at the Saskatoon Golf Course clubhouse and really made a black mess from the smoke from the rubber based carpet. It must be really disheartening to the owners. The Caledonia Firemens dinner was held at the Wagon Wheel last Saturday evening with about 40 in attendance. Marguerite, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Mulder, was married to Mr. Keith Cook at First Cutlerville Christian Reformed Church Friday evening. Reception was held at the church parlors.

It was nice to see Bernie and Jean Stauffer for a fleeting moment at the services for Mr. Don Willyard. Our son Jim and son Bradley phoned Saturday from Puyallup, Washington. He is taking the boys, Brian andBradley, to Hawaii for the weekend. They lived in Hawaii when Brian was 1 Vi years old and he is now 13, and Brad is 8.

Middleville, Michigan THURSDAY, MARCH 3,1983 Food^ BuyJ-ines Bread Prices Based on Many Factors Shoppers continue to eat about the same amount of wheat flour per year, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. They may be eating more whole wheat bread and less soda crackers, but the per capita consumption of wheat flour is about 120 pounds per year. The 1982 wheat harvest is estimated at a record high 2.81 billion bushels. This is slightly larger than the large 1981 wheat harvest and substantially mor than is needed to meet domestic needs and current foreign demand. Wheat prices have suffered as a result. Record large wheat harvests and low prices may­ make some consumers think bread prices should decrease. It won't happen because the cost of the wheat is only one small factor in the price of the bread. Milling grain into flour and then further processing the flour into bread or cereal is uniquer in the food industry. In most food processing and manufacturing, a perishable product (e.g. fresh peaches) is made into a less perishable product (can­ ned peaches). In contrast, less perishable wheat is made into perishable flour and more perishable bread. The product also is greatly altered as it goes from wheat to bread. All these alterations add to the value and to the cost of the product. The end result is that farmers derive less from a consumer's dollar spent for bakery and cereal products than for any other category of food. For example, a farmer gets 35 cents of every dollar spent on an average market basket of food. The farmer's share varies from a high of 66 cents for each dollar spent on eggs to a low of 14 cents for each dollar spent on all bakery and cereal products. According to a 1981 study by the U. S. Dept of Agriculture, the average cost of all white bread was 52.5 cents per pound.The farm value of the wheat used in a one-pound loaf of bread amounted to 4.7 cents or 9 percent of the retail price. Other farm ingredients, (non-fat dry milk, sugar and shortening) comprise another .8 cents of the farm value. Other costs incurred in getting a loaf of bread on your table include transportation of wheat to the elevator and on to the flour mill, cost of wheat to the miller, milling, mill sales value of the flour and delivery of flour to the baker (16 cents). The baker adds additional farm and nonfarm ingredients, bakes and packages the bread (11 cents) (Caledonia News Continued from page 4) Mr. Harold Gehl came out to Caledonia Saturday for the funeral of Don Willyard. Miss Tammy Kayser is now home from College with her folks, Vem and Pat Kayser. Pat’s mom, Mrs. Ogg and Mary Ogg were out from Grand Rapids Saturday for lunch.

East of Whitneyville WORLD DAY OF PRAYER March 4, 1983 The bread goes on to a wholesaler (10 cents) who distributes it to a retailer (10 cents). Each handler has to pay taxes and other expenses out of any profit realized. Most food shoppers are more likely to be in­ terested in how they can influence their own bread costs. Using the computerized “Dollars and Decisions" program at MSU, the annual cost of various kinds of bread were compared. A household of four consuming 16 slices per day is used as a basis for the comparison. If this household purchased only soft white bread (store brand in 20 ounce loaves) the annual cost is SI46. The annual cost is S288.35 if this household buys only white premium bread (at 79 cents per 1 pound loaf). Purchasing the store brand whole-wheat bread raises the annual bread costs to S332.15. Using premium whole wheat bread exclusively will cost S374.45 per year. The annual cost of bread made by purchasing frozen bread dough will be SI49.34 plus the cost of baking The difference in cost between the least and the most expensive choices is S228.45. That's the savings possible for anyone willing to use the least expensive white bread.

DISTRICT BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT SOUTH CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL HAMILTON (15-4) by Jim Verlinde High scoring, slam dunks, and a regaining of first place all made the Thomapple Kellogg Varsity court squad’s final home game last Friday a memorable and exciting event. Skip Pranger's Trojans found no trouble in taming the Panthers of Comstock Park 98-61 in front of an ecstatic home crowd. In the meantime, the Scots of Caledonia shot down the Hamilton Hawkeyes, allowing the Orange to climb back into a tie for the OK Blue lead. All of the Orange athletes saw the floor, but TK seniors, playing their last game on Trojan pine, provided the backbone for victory. Guard Jim Schipper pitched in a well-rounded performance as he tallied 19 points, nine assists, five steals and one slam dunk. Jeff Kerber and Brian Miller each collec­ ted 14 points and combined for 19 rebounds. Chris Noah flexed his muscles under the boards as he paced the rebounding department with 12 boards. Junior Dave Perry was TKs fourth team member to hit double figures as he added 12 points of his own. As a team, the Trojans overpowered the Panthers at the base of the key. 50 rebounds to 35. TK outscored their opponents by over ten points in every quarter but the last. The third quarter saw TK dominate Comstock Park, 27-5. Tomorrow Pranger's Prowlers will attempt to maintain their top league spot as they travel to Byron Center to play their final league contest of the season against the Bulldogs.

The first will be played at 6 p.m. and the second at 8:30. It could prove to be a bottleneck for fans in that second con­ test, waiting for the gym to empty and the parking lot to clear. Middleville, if they get by Hopkins, would be playing in that second game. Admission to the districts is $2.00 for everyone. Each school is allocated 1,000 tickets for pre-game sale at the school office. Trojan Junior Varsity Plays ‘Best Game’ “By far our best game statistically,” commented Coach Jim Sprague, reflecting on his Junior Varsity Trojans' league victory over Comstock Park. Superb ball handling and 61 percent field goal shooting led TKs JV squad to their 69-49 conquering of the Panthers. Four players reached well into double figure scoring for Sprague’s squad. Dave Karel hit nine of 12 shots from the floor en route to his team leading 24 points. Eric Hannapel, Jeff Mathiesen and Tom Schwartz supported Karel’s performance with 14. 13 and 12 points respectively. Hannapel also pulled down 13 rebounds while Schwartz grabbed 11. The Orange and Black took advantage of effective passing as the team racked up 30 assists. Hannapel and Mike Newhouse paced the way with six assists apiece followed by Mathiesen and Schwartz, each with five.

Clerk With Strong Half In spite of a less-than-spectacular initial period, the Fighting Scots Varsity squad came through Friday night to defeat Hamilton 82-76. After having a week off, playing the league leader, and having parents’ night, one might have thought the Scots would come out of the locker room excited and ready to play. But that wasn’t the case. Caledonia came out slow the first quarter and quickly found themselves down 12-4. The Scots con­ tinued to be sluggish and ended the first quarter down ten, 12-22. During the second period the Scots got their heads together and managed to cut into the Hamilton lead going into the intermission down 41-36. Caledonia came out strong in the third quarter and scored six quick points to take the lead for the first time in the contest. The Scots continued to in­ crease their lead to five at the end of the third period and outscored the Hawkeyes by one in the fourth to clinch the victory 82-76. The Scots got a great team effort from everyone as every Scot saw action. They were led by their own version of the twin towers, Todd Marsman and Mike Wilson. Marsman, a 6’5” senior, scored 22 points, grab­ bed 11 rebounds, and blocked 8 Hawkeye shots. Wilson, a 6'5” junior forward, compiled six assists 4 rebounds, 4 blocked shots, and 24 points, including 12 in the decisive third period. Also playing a key role was senior guard Ron Schultz, who scored 15 points and dished off 7 assists. Chad Creasey and Todd Colvin scored 7 and 2 points respectively and played strong defense. Creasey also contributed 3 rebounds. Other Scot scorers were Pete Graham with 6 points, and Marc Mitchell, Fred ZyIstra and Brad Harrison with 2 points each. The Scots once again will have Tuesday off but will travel to Kelloggsville on Friday to take on the Rebels.

The commission plan calls for a freezing of legislative salaries during 1983 at the 1982 level, $31,000. In 1984. a 7% raise is proposed. When only considering the 60 to 70 hour work week for many legislators and the likely inflation rate over this year and next, a 7% hike over two years is not excessive. However, when considering the sacrifices many Michigan workers are making today — and the additional sacrifices which the legislature will be asking citizens to make in the form of reduced services and higher taxes — any legislative pay hike next year is excessive. For this reason, I co-sponsored a resolution that would have rejected the legislative pay raise in 1984. Since that move has been defeated, a number of lawmakers and I will take voluntary steps to return or offset with reduced travel and office allowance expenditures the 7% increas in 1984. Though the legislature has made a mistake, this does not free me or any lawmaker from the obligation of trying to find a solution to the state's whopping budget deficit. Currently, the House Taxation Committee on which I serve is struggling over the Blanchard tax proposal. Progress has been slow. It is difficult to reach an agreement on the economic assumptions for this year and beyond — assumptions which are needed to justify any budget-balancing plan. It is equally difficult to find a consensus among legislators as to how (or how much) the budget should be cut. and how (or how long) taxes should be hiked. Another obstacle is getting to know what kind of Governor we are dealing with. Not long ago 1 predicted that James Blanchard would be similar to Bill Milliken in personality and philosophy. Now, I am not so sure. Both leaders have been labelled political moderates, but definite differences in their economic and political ideas are beginning to emerge. Those differences were evident in a candid, forty-minute meeting which another Republican lawmaker and I had recently with the governor. During our visit the Governor reflected upon Michigan's long range fiscal and unemployment problems. His ideas were a curious blend of new and old. He stated his firm commitment to reduce the size and scope of state government, at least as it exists today. He claimed there would be more boar­ ds, commissions and programs slated for terminationbeyond the thirty he already has proposed to eliminate. To emphasize his refreshing desire for tougher program evalutaion and priority-setting, the new Governor is sitting in on all of the 1984 budget planning sessions between his Budget Director and the department heads. Talking to us about his economic development ideas, however, Blanchard described himself as traditional “Roosevelt Democrat. ’ He admitted that if a permanent tax increase raised surplus revenues, he would like to pump the money into jobs programs. If one public jobs approach didn’t work, he said he would try another. His statement of philosophy was no more specific than his “jobs, jobs, jobs " campaign platform. Ir is the new Governor's undefined long-range fiscal and economic strategy which has many lawmakers, including me, especially nervous about a permanent tax hike. Governor Blanchard s ap­ parent desire to streamline the present structure of state government is a refreshing change, but how will he actually propose to spend a revenue windfall if it occurs? And how hard will he fight to reorganize state government if a permanent tax increase brings in more money than is needed to maintain basic ser­ vices? While such questions raise serious doubts in lawmakers' minds, one thing is sure. Many of us do not know Jim Blanchard very well, much less where he wants to lead us. While we want to help him get the state back on an even fiscal keel, we are not prepared to write him a blank check. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP HILLEGONDS.

Nowadays, to many that is a process which takes too long. They try to establish community confidence quickly by public relations techniques — “I am a good fellow because it says so right here in my publicity.” But con­ fidence lasts only as long as it is backed by real service, fair dealing and a sincere feeling for those in bereavement. Have we achieved that kind of trust and con­ fidence? That is for those who have used our services to say and there is only one meaningful way for them to say it. With deep feelings of gratitude, we note that they have done so.

The focus of the workshop was on the “Management of Change." Participants used lear­ ning instruments which helped them learn more about their own behavioral style. They also examined three basic questions about change: How do you respond to change in your personal and professional life? Do you manage change ... or does it manage you? What strengths do you bring to the process of managing change? Michael McGervey, assistant Dean of Continuing Education at Aquinas College, was the principal speaker and was assisted by Regina Stein of Mid­ dleville. Both are associated with Transition Management, a human resources consulting firm in Grand Rapids. Participants included Barbara Benner, Mary Lou Passenger, Christine Schad, Pat McCollum.

Dr. Choryan’s patients have been submitting names of their children and grandchildren in the drawing for the bear who has greeted children in his office for several months. Teddy's replacement is probably waiting in the office to greet the small fry, and won­ dering who the winner of the next drawing will be. To help celebrate the Sesquicentennial coming up next year, the Thornapple Kellogg Heritage Association would like to invite all interested people to create a design for their "logo contest. " The rules ae simple and the winner will receive a $25 savings bond, as well as a place in local history. The contest is not for "professionals" only. A good rough design submitted can be reworked to fit the purpose, so get out your paper, pencil, crayons or whatever and enter your ideas. Let’s make this a celebration of participation, not just observation. 1. Any one, any age can enter any number of times. 2. It must contain an identifiable feature of Mid­ dleville 3. It should contain the dates "1834-1984" 4. Entries submitted should be on an 8‘/t”xU" piece of paper. 5. The decision of the judging panel is final. 6. All entries become the property of the Thor­ napple Heritage Association. 7. The deadline is April 13,1983. Please keep the design simple. Remember, it will be reproduced in many ways during the next year.

They will be the ones who will use their discretion for how it will be used and reproduced. Please mail all entries to Mr. G. Donavan Dean, 216 Stadium Drive, Middleville. TK School, Churches Seek Answers To Problems of Community The TK school officials and the ministers from churches in the district have had a series of meetings commencing this past fall. The purpose of these meetings has been to focus attention on some of the problems of the community and how the agencies of the churches and the schools could deal with these problems. Identified as problems in the community have been 1) drugs, 2) alcoholism, 3) values and value judgements, and 4) the general breakdown of families in the community. Both the school officials and the clergy’ realize that these problems are not unique to our school district and the communities within it. They realize that some of these problems are not going co be solved immediately - but, they do feel that it is im­ portant that these two groups of agencies exert all the pressure they are able to, to try to correct these problems, or try to take steps toward correcting these problems. Some of the ideas that have been explored by this group are: 1.Articles will appear in the local news media trying to point out the problems and also pointing out solutions or corrections. 2. Some type of chaplain service is being explored. This could possibly be a service to help students and to help parents who are having problems dealing with students. 3. The third method that was explored is to brin in speakers or people who are knowledgeable about these problem areas into our Community to speak to both students and parents. This is to be an ongoing thing, with these groups meeting once each month. Any community people who might have input into these groups, please feel free to either contact local school officials or their minister. �PAGE TWO THURSDAY. MARCH 10,1983 A Well Deserved At Your Public Library -THANKS The people of the Thomapple Kellogg school system have again demonstrated their ability to work together to make the State Wrestling Tournament a huge suc­ cess. Every person involved in the tour­ nament should be proud of their effort. It is impossible to list every one of the hundreds of people - students, parents and staff - who worked to make this tour­ nament the outstanding success it was, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them for the many hours of hard work. Again we received many compliments on every area of the tournament. Coaches, wrestlers and fans were impressed with the efficiency and cooperation they received from the people working at the tournament. Mr. Lonnie Lowrey, assistant director of the Michigan High School Athletic Association was at the finals Saturday night to observe the tournament. Following the finals he told us that he was impressed with the total program as was everyone else he talked to. As we travel around the state to various events, one of the comments that we often hear is : "Middleville, you are the people that hold the super wrestling tournament. What a community effort that is. ” In closing we would like to again thank everyone who made this past weekend such a pleasure for us. Nothing makes you feel better than to have someone like Tom Casteel, Coach of the Year, and coach of this year's State Championship team, Montrose, say "As far as I'm concerned there is no better run tournament anywhere and you be sure and tell all the people I said so. ” Another comment we heard after this weekend was "coming to Middleville is like coming home because the students^ parents and community treat us so nice. ” Thank you again, Tom Lehman, TK Wrestling Coach Ray Page, Athletic Director DUANE R.

HANGING WEIGHT (PROCESSING INCLUDED) 111 E Main • Caledonia Ph 891-8162 Did you ever stumble upon an old, unique item, perhaps at a garage sale or in your attic, which sparked your curiosity? Almost every one of us owns an antique, but very few are experts with the ability to label the antique concerning its worth and historical significance. Yesterday s junk has become today 's treasures, at least most of it. The trick is to be able to identify which pieces have value and which are still junk. Thanks to your pack rat relatives, you may have many valuables and not •ven know it. Interest in antiques can vary from old farm tools to fine porcelain china. Therefore, the information on these antiques includes many different kinds of books. In this column I'll be unable to discuss all related books. There are too many. I'll mention the ones that seem the most popular. Take a look at some of these when you visit the public library. Maybe you'll discover great Aunt Martha s sugar bowl is worth a fortune! The natural starting place for most novice an­ tique collectors is the set of encyclopedias called Discovering Antiques. This set of twenty volumes contains colored photographs, historical sketches and suggestions for further reading. The books are easy to use with an index covering everything fromn art, furniture, firearms and glassware. Greystone Press puts out these books. The American Heritage History of American An­ tiques from the Revolution to the Civil War and The New York Times Book of Antiques by Schwartz and Wate provide basic information on antiques. Both are beautiful volumes with many color photographs and illustrations. These are great books that answer the questions of how to identify antiques, what they are and how to purchase them. With so many reproductions available, it’s certainly worthwhile to make sure that your antique is authentic ahead of time. Because so many people are enjoying antique collecting, the books: The Kovels Complete An­ tiques Price List and The Official Price Ouide to An­ tiques and Other Collectibles are valuable sources of information. These guides contain descriptions as well as a fairly current market price. qqMany antique dealers talk a different language from the layman. To avoid frustration and impress your friends, before conversing with antique dealers, check out The Dictionary of Antiques and the Decorative Arts. Learn a few key words from this dictionary and dealers are sure to treat yuu with respect. For the collectors with special antique collections, one of the following may be useful in furthering your antique education: Gosset's Complete Guide to Collectible Plates by Cohen, Country Things by deJonge, The Folk Arts and Crafts of New England by Lord and Foley, and Miniature Antique Fur­ niture by Schiffe and Schiffe. Finally, someone wrote a book intended for the likes of me (there is usually a book that fits my specific needs) I enjoy antiques I’d probably enjoy them a lot more if I had more money. For poor folks like me, John Mebane wrote The Poor Man's Guide to Antique Collecting. He shows how the hobby of antique collecting can be enjoyed on a shoestring. Maybe if all of us collect specialties now, they will increase in value in years to come. Grandchildren will be delighted that we kept items from this era. TK Band Gets First Division Rating On Saturday, March 5, the Thomapple Kellogg High School Band traveled to East Kentwood High School to compete in the District Band Festival.

MARCH 10,1983 STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STA TE REPRESENTA TJVE. 54th DISTRICT Week of March 6 It was a frustrating, sad ending to a week of in­ tense bargaining. On a partisan vote — Democrats for and Republicans against — the Taxation committee reported to the full House a bill which will hike the income tax 38%, from 4.6% to 6.35%. Democrats are calling the tax temporary.” A better description would be “indefinite. ” Part of the increased tax rate — .25% — will be used to correct past accounting gimmickery which has resulted in a cash deficit of $800 million. When Michigan’s ac­ counting integrity is restored — probably in four to five years - that portion of the tax will expire. The major part of the income tax increase — 1.5% — will be used in combination with $225 million of budget cuts to close this year’s estimated $800 million general fund deficit. That 1.5% will remain in effect until the current 17% unemployment rate t^jiibmqrincs ’Italian Specialties ■*•••• • • • ••••*■ WiiiilM fim» 120 (,E.'’Maili Street (‘«)M iddleville,*’Mi. *••••• • • • •••••* Call: 705-7844 foi* Takeout declines to 13%, at which time the increased tax rate will drop .1% for every .75% reduction in the average unemployment rate during the second half of the previous year. When statewide unem­ ployment finally hits 7.8%, the income tax rate will return to the current 4.6%. This sounds incredibly complicated, and it is. No one can begin to predict when the 1.5% hike in the income tax rate will start to decline significantly, much less expire. One thing is sure. Based on projections of revenues and expenditures during this fiscal year and next — this complex scheme will raise more money than is needed to continue basic services. It will also remove some fiscal pressure on the legislature and Governor to undertake serious long-range program evaluation. Asa Taxation Committee member. I spent hours meeting with Democrats and Republicans trying to develop a two-year income tax plan. What three other Republican committee members and I had proposed was an income tax increase to close the projected deficit for this fiscal year and enable a balanced, continuation budget during 1984-85. The final level of the income tax hike — probably around 1.4% in 1983 and 1.0% in 1984 - would also have permitted a restoration of the state's cash position within three to five years, a Blanchard goal which 1 strongly support. This Republican Taxation Committee com­ promise would not have required massive meanspirited, shortsighted budget-slashing to close this year’s deficit, although another $45 million in cuts would have been required beyond the Governor's proposed $225 million in reductions. Most impor­ tant, our plan called for the Governor’s com­ mitment to place on his agenda some important long-range steps, including special panels to evaluate our higher education and mental health systems and Blanchard’s support for a legislative sunset process. Our committee position was based on the economic and fiscal assumptions for the next two years which were available to us. The Governor has been critical of such a two-year plan, but he refused to reveal his projections which would justify a con­ tinuing income tax increase beyond 1984. Moreover, by stubbornly rejecting a bi-partisan beginning to the long legislative fight ahead, Governor Blanchard has missed an important op­ portunity. Whether he can twist enough Democratic arms on the House floor to support a complex, “in­ definite” tax hike scheme remains to be seen. If he cannot, it will be much more difficult to achieve bi­ partisan support for a compromise proposal in the full House than it was in committee. And the har­ dest task of all may be in the Senate. Other Republicans and I will continue to work for a long-range, bi-partisan solution — but we will not compromise at any price. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP. HILLEGONDS. CALL AC 517-373-0836.

Middleville School Teams Find Systematic Approach to Problem Solving A viable addition to Thornapple Kellogg High School’s list of extracurricular activities has been introduced this year. The program is Future Problem Solving, and it demands creative and ef­ ficient thinking from all participants. Future Problem Solving was started Rt the fifth grade level last year by Keith Middlebush. This year Kevin Briggs, science teacher, presented the program to high school students. A Future Problem Solving team has four mem­ bers. Three teams have been formed in the high school and one in the fifth grade. Both coaches take great care in choosing teams They say that active group participation is very important in a FPS team. Kristie Burch, Carrie Corrigan, Chris Barton and Glenn W oodard are members of the fifth grade team. Jim Verlined, Chas. Thompson. Renae Teater, Phil Teater, Chris Noah, Jim Brotherton. Tim Lewis, Tammy Maichele, Tammy McAlary, Toni Owen. Brenda VanDuine and Joe Shaver are the members of the high school teams. Most of the team members say that they enjoy FPS: however, they also say that it is a bit tedius and requires a lot of work. The high school FPS teams meet every Friday after school for one hour. Before a team attempts to solve a future problem within the grueling two hour time period, it is given a fuzzy situation. The fuzzy situation describes a brief history of a future condition, gives specific fac­ ts about the situation and gives an assignment to the FPS team. After reading the fuzzy situation, a team brainstorms subproblems. The twenty best subproblems are recorded in an official FPS booklet. Frm the subproblems a statement of problem is written. Next, the team brainstorms and records twenty solutions to the statement of problem. The ten best solutions are then judged by a set of five criteria. The solution which is judged as the best becomes the statement of solution and the booklet is complete. Mr. Middlebush has applied FPS methods to practical problems today. He allows his entire class to get involved and says this teaches them a systematic approach to problem solving. Each Middleville team has had the opportunity to solve three future problems; weather control, ocean communities and robotics. All teams have the potential to qualify for state FPS competition. Whether or not any do so depends on the scores received on last Friday’s robotics booklet. Those ►earns which do qualify for state competition will ^Ke a trip to Ann Arbor on April 16 and attempt to solve one more booklet, this one on computers.

Michigan THURSDAY, MARCH 10.1983 High Returns on Investments Makes Gardening Profitable Vegetable gardening is an enjoyable, low-cost hobby that can give you fresh produce worth 10 to 15 times your investment in seeds and other sup­ plies and equipment. In addition, gardening provides other benefits, such as exercise, relaxation and family activity. Lee Taylor. Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service home garden specialist, says that a vegetable garden can yield 1200 to 1700 worth of produce. The cost of seeds, chemicals and miscellaneous supplies for such a garden is about S20 to S35 he adds. Start planning your garden in mid-December when you start to receive seed catalogs, Taylor suggests. Planning the garden early allows you to take advantage of the early order discounts many seed companies offer. The main sources of garden seeds are seed catalogs and garden centers. An advantage of gar­ den Centers is that they are close to home and thus convenient, Taylor says. The advantage of seed VAN SYOC ■■ CHIROPRACTIC CENTER INITIAL CONSULTATION SnCMLUIM HI l K«D«Of LFMVMiam * ins« unr NO CHARGt CMONIC I MFIICULT CASU » wci iMtuco i Mtttria I NMMIMfaSMOMOns • low no a tic na ALL INSURANCES ACCEPTED 91-8153 600 E. Main CALEDONIA catalogs, he says, is they offer many new varieties, and also provide gardening tips. Buying seeds in bulk is one method of reducing the cost of gardening. Taylor says seed companied often offer discounted prices for bulk orders. Ad­ ditional savings can be realized when an order is large enough to qualify for wholesale prices, he ad­ ds. The best way to take advantage of the bulk seed prices is to combine seed orders with neighbors. Af­ ter the seeds arrive, they can be distributed and stored in paper envelopes, he adds. Bulk ordering is particularly convenient for church, community and 4-H gardening projects. Community gardens are one option for people who do not have their own land. Community gar­ dens present special problems for gardeners, however. One problem, Taylor says, is that many community gardens cut the garden season short because they usually open in mid-May and close in September. In an average year. Michigan’s gar­ dening season lasts from late March to Thanksgiving. For these reasons. Taylor says people without land should consider container gardening or using part of a neighbor’s garden plot. He suggests that a vegetable garden does not have to conform to any strict design. "Vegetable gardens don’t have to be located in the back yard, nor do they have to be laid out like cemeteries,’’ Taylor says. "Vegetables can be grown in the front or beside flowers or in containers.’’ To ensure a steady supply of fresh vegetables, gardeners should plant cool and warm season crops.

Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and kohlrabi — are not damaged by frost so, in southern lower Michigan they can be planted in late March or early April. To get an even earlier jump on the gar­ dening season, onions, lettuce and the cole crops can be started inside and then transplanted outdoors in March or April. Warm season crops can be planted in late April through June. Sweet corn and snap beans can be planted in late April. Taylor says, but cucumbers, melons and tomatoes should not be planted until late May. Some warm-season crops, such as tomatoes, melons and cucumbers, can be started in­ doors for later transplanting, he adds. Cool-season crops can be planted again from June through August. The cole crops should be planted in June, Taylor says, while leaf crops can be planted in July and Early August. For a bountiful harvest, gardeners need to meet several basic requirements. One is to plant fresh seed of vegetable varieties recommended for Michigan (see Extension Bulletin E 760A "Home Vegetabel Garden Variety Recommendations’’ available from county Cooperative Extension of­ fices.) Another requirement is to plant crops at the proper time. Cool-season crops should be planted so they will mature during cool weather and warm­ season crops so they will mature in warm weather. The final requirement is to provide adequate nutrients for the crops. Taylor says fertilizer should be applied at a rate of 2 pounds of 5-20-20 per 100 square feet. Half of the required fertilizer should be applied before turning the soil and half after plan­ ting. If manure is applied at a rate of one-half ton per l.OOOsquare feet, only one pound of 5-20-20 is needed per square feet. If you have a soil test run, follow the fertilizer recommendations on the report. Kent County Cooperative Extension Service is an educational unit of MSU. ROVING REPORTER With HAZEL McCAUL My how it rained Saturday night and all day Sunday. Our ground is so soaked that it stands like lakes all around. Report they cannot remember such a wet February. Last potluck was not to well attended but many came for the program of The Cloggers from Venice. They were noisy but they could really clog. Gerry Colbom left for Tarpon Springs Saturday. We took her to Venice to the Greyhound station. She was real excited about the bus trip. Gerry and I with three others went to Punta Gorda Friday and took the 2‘/i hour boat trip out to Cabbage Key. We had dinner there then 2‘/i hours back. Made a long time on the water. Saw a few por­ poises and an osprey on her nest on the top of a marker post. John and Laneta Wilkes spent Sunday evening with Verne and Bea Wenger. A good card game I expect. John and I will spend Monday in Venice with several little errands to take care of. Calmed down this Monday morning. Much debris around the park, palm leaves, branches, etc. Must get going to sell pancake tickets, then off to Venice for the day.

OWNER 20 YEARS IN THE SAME LOCATION �MiddWvflk PAGE TWELVE Lansing UPDATE by Robert Bonder STATE REPRESENTATIVE • 88th HOUSE DISTRICT Tax now, cut later, and trust us in the meantime! As preposterous as it sounds, that is actually what s happening in Michigan, as a result of action taken this week in the House of Representatives. Although the current legislative session is only a few weeks old, it didn’t take long for those of us new to the process to get our first lesson in the ap­ plication of raw political power. In nearly a straight party line vote (4 democrats crossed over to vote with minority Republicans) the House passed a 38% increase in the state income tax, which is tied direc­ tly to the unemployment rate. In other words, state government will benefit from high unemployment! If the proposal is approved in the senate and signed by the Governor, there will be no incentive to CASH SAVINGS SEED CORN * SOYBEANS ALFALFA SORGHUM 1177 SILAGE INOCULANT DISCOUNT FOR PAYMLHT BY MARCH 21, 1M3 ^Caledonia Farmers Elevator; \ 'Coop»roHvely Serving tho Agrk Noodi of Our Community Sine 1.« RHOME 891-I1OS t 8918143 • CALEDONIA, MICHIGAN 41316 Ciliinfa Nw* MhkB^rEDe, reduce the unemployment rate, because as unemployment rises, so does the income tax. It is also close to a permanent tax increase, because it will not be lifted until the unemployment rate drops below 9%, and no one sees that happening in the foreseeable future. I have always thought that the first element in problem solving was to identify the problem. Neither the Governor nor the Legislature has done this — unless simply saying “we don’t have enough money’’ constitutes an identification of the problem. We’ve not received answers to basic questions such as: 1. Has the deficit been determined 2. Have 83-84 revenues been estimated? 3. Have we seen the 83-84 budget? 4. Have we considered the $250 M supplemental? 5. Have we seen an Executive Order? 6. Have we discussed further cuts and policy changes? The answer to all of the above is NO! Those of us who voted no on the proposal have been accused of being obstructionists, and that we wouldn’t participate in seeking a solution. Actually, we began to examine our fiscal crisis in all its ramifications several weeks ago. believing we couldn’t solve a problem until we defined it. The administration has been clever in framing the need for this tax. The Governor has paid lip service to compromise and cooperation , yet he has steadfastly refused to cooperate with us. Nearly a month ago. we formally requested spending figures for next year’s budget. We still don’t have them. Our Ap­ propriations committee members have repeatedly asked to see an Executive Order so we can examine the cuts and realistically assess if more cuts can be made, but it still hasn’t been issued. We’ve tried to reach a compromise on the size of the budget deficit but those discussions have proved futile. Weve been criticized for not having a solution of our own, but three Republican plans have been ignored. Fortunately, this ill conceived proposal is not yet cast in stone. After consideration by the Senate, depending on their action, it will more than likely, if passed, go to a conference committee made up of House and Senate members to put the measure in final form. My goal continues to be a temporary tax to meet our immediate needs, coupled with long term budget reforms. THURSDAY.

But the Trojans had come through too much to let it all slip away, so they pulled it together to dominate the remaining three periods, walking away with a 50-41 victory and a share of the OK Blue title. Statistics left much to be desired as a drawn out pace prevented athletes from compiling hefty num­ bers. Jeff Kerber and Dave Perry reached double figures for TK as they tallied 13 and 14 points respectively. Senior Brian Miller added nine points and led the squad in rebounding with eight boards. Guards Jim Schipper and Dave VanSickle took tur­ ns aiding from the outside as they combined for nine assists and six steals. As a team, the Trojans gained much of their scoring support at the charity strip, hitting 70 per­ cent of their free tosses for 14 points. Excellent ball handling also helped TK as the team turned the ball over just ten times. The victory allowed the Orange to finish the regular season with a 17-3 overall record, 11-3 in the OK Blue. The Trojans share in the top spot in the league with the Hamilton Hawkeyes. Post-season play began this week with the District play-offs at South Christian.

The win pushed the Orange and Black’s final OK Blue record to 8 and 6. Dave Karel paced the Trojan attack, pulling down 12 rebounds and scoring 11 points, including a aeven-of-ten stint at the free throw line. Tom Sch­ wartz followed with nine rebounds and eight points while Mike Newhouse dished off five assists. Thomapple Kellogg’s shortage in the scoring department came as a result of their 31 percent field goal shooting and through their collection of only nine assists. But the Trojans continued to handle the ball well as they turned it over just 12 times. Wingeier.

MJekigaa Food^ Buy Lines^ Report on March Food Prices March food shoppers can look forward to con­ tinued low prices for fresh green cabbage, a natural for St. Patricks Day. Texas, Florida and California are reporting large crops of good quality cabbage. To date, heavy rains in Florida have not damage the cabbage crop. The independent truckers strike made news last month, but Mother Nature made more of an impact on food marketing. Adverse weather affected some crops in Florida and Mexico, sources of many of our fresh fruits and vegetables during the late winter and early spring. Produce buyers report that the cooler temperatures in the two areas delayed vegetable crops rather than doing extensive damage, though some injury did occur. A few weeks of warm, sunny weather will put the vegetables back on track. In the meantime, produce buyers anticipate a lower supply of cucumbers, radishes, green peppers, tomatoes and soft-shell squash. Shoppers may have to pay a little more for these items, which will likely bear a few scars and other imperfections from their bouts with Mother Nature. Good quality lettuce at low prices was predicted to be available from California and Arizona throughout March. That forecast may change as another storm batters the west coast. Last fall’s bumper crops of potatoes and dry onions mean these items will continue to sell for low prices. March is the last month when premium quality grapefruit will be available for relatively low prices. A record crop of navel oranges will also continue to be available this month. The quality of grapefruit especially will go down and prices will increase after March. The number of offerings will increase at the produce counter during the coming weeks. Lowpriced carrots, which have been available most of the winter, have increased in price but remain a good value. Apples from Michigan CA storages will still be available this month. Select apples by fir­ mness rather than color to get the best quality. Look for promotions on frozen orange juice con­ centrate. A 5-point increase in the yield of concen­ trate for each box of oranges is predicted by the U. S. Dept of Agriculture. The increase is caused by higher squeeze factors being employed by processors. The yield adjustment will increase Florida’s concentrate pack by about 6 million gallons. The egg market has strengthened in recent weeks, but prices are still substantially below those of a year ago. The lack of export markets and a lower demand for processed eggs have contributed to the current oversupply of shell eggs. Eggs are the lowest cost complete protein food on the market today. The meat scene hasn't changed much in the past few months. Features on meat items will be scat­ tered this month, but look for them to concentrate on broilers and turkeys. Pork remains tight and prices high. Analysts dif­ fer on when pork supplies will become large enough to lower prices, but most agree that current retail pork prices will hold through this month. Beef prices are expected to trend upward over the next month or so. The severe winter weather over large parts of the country has reduced weight gain and a lower-than-expected February 1 cattle on feed report are cited as reasons for this outlook. CLAY HILLS With WRETHAMcNEE Howard and June Colburn took me to Indiana to see my dear uncle, 95 years young. He was just fine since recuperating from shingles.

MICHIGAN 49333 113th YEAR • NUMBER 11 MIDDLEVILLE 84 - WHITEHALL 71 Trojans Roll in Regionals; Play Finals Friday NUMBER ONE IN THE DISTRICT is what these happy Middleville varsity basketball players proclaimed after their victory over South Christian last Saturday. They are shown receiving the District trophy in this photo courtesy of the Reminder. March Madness in Middleville is really heating up’ The Trojans, fresh from a district championship clinched last Saturday afternoon at South Christian, knocked off Whitehall in the opening round of the Regionals on Tuesday night. The Trojans' speed and size proved to be too much for the Vikings from Whitehall, with Middleville scoring an 84-71 win at Godwin. TK will meet the winner of the Newaygo-Comstock Park contest in the finals of the Regional on Friday night at 7 p.m. The Trojans got to the Regionals by completely dominating the Sailors of South Christian last Saturday, 74-50. (See story on page 5) It wasn’t that "easy’' with Whitehall Tuesday night, but a strong second half and good free throw percentages kept Middleville in front. For the first half, both teams were in the game with Whitehall pulling within one point at halftime, 34-33. In the third quarter, however, the Trojans sank 19 points to the Vikings' 12 and kept their lead intact. In the final period, TK unleashed a blistering scoring attack, netting 31 more points to Whitehall’s 26. Jim Schipper, playing one of his finest games of the year, led the Middleville crew with 20 points ... 17 of them in the final quarter. When Whitehall tried to shut of Schipper’s playmaking abilities he used for the first part of the game, he turned to the bucket and scored himself. Dave Perry also turned in a super game, scoring 18 points. Jeff Kerber, Middleville’s other big guy, dropped in 17 points as did Brian Miller. Dave VanSickle netted 8 points, with Chris and Steve Miller each scoring 2 points. Middleville was 18 for 24 at the free throw line while Whitehall hit on only 50% of their free shots, 11 for 22. The winner of the Godwin Regional will meet the win­ ner of the Alma Regional in the State Quarter Finals next week. Petitions Available for TK Board Candidates Nominating petitions are now available at the Thomapple Kellogg Administration Building for Board of Education seats. Two positions are open this year. The election will be iMonday, June 13, 1983. The filing deadline is April 11, 4:00 p.m. at the Administration building, where petition forms may also be obtained. Fire Strikes Local House Thomapple Township • Middleville firemen were called Monday morning to a dwelling fire at 208 Grand Rapids Street and contained the fire to the interior of the house. The large, old house, owned by Barbara Elkins, was believed to have started on fire in the basement. Residents, who were not home at the time of the alarm, reported to Fire Chief Robert Kenyon that they had been welding a bike frame in the basement of the house that morning. Flammable material was nearby, said the chief, and was New Face on Caledonia Village Council There will be one new trustee on the Caledonia Village Council as a result of Monday’s election when 93 voters went to the polls to elect three trustees for two-year terms.

Maurice Freeman received 57 votes, and there was one write-in ballot cast for Ed Passenger. probably accidentally set by the welding torch.

This is a nationwide competition which encourages students to design experiments for possible in­ clusion on a future space shuttle mission. Chris’s experiment deals with perspiration. He feels that there is probably a difference in the amount and type of perspiration produced in normal earth gravity and that produced in space. Chris feels that if there are differences, and they can be measured, this would be an easy way to monitor astronauts’ health on long space shuttle missions. Chris's experiment has earned him and his ad­ visor, Kevin J. Briggs, a trip to Cleveland, Ohio, to attend a space shuttle symposium at The NASA Lewis Air Force Base, March 27-30. This trip is sponsored by NASA and the National Science Teachers Association who are underwriting all the costs. There. Chris, whose idea was selected from over 470 other proposals from Michigan and Ohio by a team of teachers, scientists and engineers, will have the opportunity to explain his ideas in detail to NASA experts. In addition to attending the sym­ posium and meeting with other semifinalists, he will tour the NASA base and meet with astronauts. Chris's proposal, along with those of the other regional winners, will be sent to Washington where they will be judged by experts who will select twen­ ty national winners. Consortium Unites Three Community Education Programs Lowell, Caledonia and Thornapple Kellogg Com­ munity Educations have joined hands, as of this year, to form a consortium known as LCTK Com­ munity Education. The consortium director, Linda Zaczek, presently has an office located in the central office of Lowell Area schools. One of the first tasks undertaken was the for­ mation of a consortium Advisory Council. Each of the three schools asked three members of the local community to serve on this council. Representing Caledonia are Corey Mieras, Ed Passenger and Lillian Schultz. Rose McManus is the Middleville representative at this time. The function of the adtor, coordinators and school boards on community school programming and other related matters. The Advisory Council is an integral part of the community education program. Since the formation of the council, we have had several interesting and informative meetings. One result of the Advisory Council’s efforts is the adoption of the new Community Ed logo. Another is the article itself. Each month a consortium news ar­ ticle will appear in publications in Lowell, Caledonia and Middleville. We expect to learn a lot from each other as mem­ bers of the Advisory council.

All of us depend on one another for goods and services. Per­ sonally. I become very frustrated if the services cost excessive time or money. Waiting for repairmen to fix some essential appliance does not impro\e my mood. The solution to this problem is simple. Basic education on home repairs would be well worth the time invested. Now tell me — who doesn't want to save time and money? Wouldn’t the satisfaction of not having to call a repairman be worth it? I think most would agree that it would. Obviously there would be no great savings if we bought all the books available on home repair. I’m not sure if it would save you a great amount of time. A much better idea is to check out these books from the library. Almost every kind of current fix-it manual is available. There is an excellent series of repair manuals called You Fix It. These individual soft cover books deal with: Plumbing, small appliance, clothes dryers and insulation. They are easy to follow. Most start with symptoms, list causes, and explain step by step corrective procesures. All tools involved are listed and explained. Often the item in need of repair is the small ap­ pliance that is used on a daily basis. Your day definitely gets off to a bad start if the coffee maker or toaster is not operable. Many people will simply decide to purchase new small appliances without a second look at the old one. Sometimes the problem is so minor that it takes less than 10 minutes to fix. That’s if you know what you are looking for. These books could help: How to Repair Small Appliances, Volumes 1 and 2 by Darr, and Repairing Small Elec­ trical Appliances by Hertzberg. These books explain repairs for everything from lamps, sewing machines, vacuum cleaners, typewriters, clocks and many more. If more information is necessary. Ap­ pliance Servicing Library by Robert Scharff is a valuable resource. Diagrams and instructions are included. Small appliances are not the only things that need repair. There are a few basic comprehensive fix-it books that are worth consulting. If you have questions concerning carpet repair, glass replacement, concrete patching, roof repairs, screens, painting, heating systems and more, check out these books: The New York Times Complete Manual of Home Repair, The Complete How To Fix It Book by Andrew Waugh, and Very Basic Fix-It Book by Ron Grace. Finally, for dummies like me (I know nothing about repairs) there is The Feminine Fix-It Hand book. This handy book starts out with descriptions of tools and their uses. It even tells you which way to turn a screwdriver and how to pound a nail. This would be a super book to consult for new apartment dwellers or new home dwellers. I’ve seen many old lamps at garage and yard sales that are beautiful but useless because for some reason they don’t work. The How-to Book of Repairing, Rewiring and Restoring Lamps land Light Fixtures by Rachel Martins could help you render the old gems serviceable. There are going to be times when you can’t solve a repair problem or don’t have the tools available to do major repairs. Thise are the times you should call for help. Once you gain confidence and knowledge, the art of home repairs will be rewarding both in in­ dependence gained and money saved.

Michigan THURSDAY, MARCH 17,1983 STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STATE REPRESENTA TIVE. 54th DISTRICT Lately these reports are stuck on the subject of taxes. That’s because all other issues in the House have taken a back seat to the struggle over the in­ come tax hike. It’s also because the impending taxing and spending decisions — and how those decisions are made — could set the tone and sub­ stance of the debate in Lansing for years to come. The past four Diaries have focused on substance — the need for a temporary income tax increase combined with a reasonable level of budget cuts in order to restore fiscal stability to our state gover­ nment. Now that an indefinite. 38% income tax hike has been pushed through the House and over to the Senate, the decision-making process and tone of the debate so far deserve come comment. The Blanchard tax plan, slightly modified, was supported by 59 Democrats and opposed by all 47 Republicans plus four Democratic defectors. I am deeply disturbed by this partisan split which developed in the House. The legislative process must involve compromise if the interests of all citizens are to be served. In this case letters, telephone calls and personal visits have convinced me that most citizens recognize the need for a temporary tax hike, even though they do not like it. As a representative, I have reflected that viewpoint by voting against a proposed tax increase that is too high and too indefinite. However, I take small consolation from that fact — because the failure by me and other members to forge a bi­ partisan compromise has resulted in an excessive House tax plan. The blame for this partisan tax proposal must be shared by both sides. In the House Republican Caucus, it was very difficult to reach a consensus on what to do. Clearly some Republican members had no desire to vote for any tax increase, even though no one member had a reasonable plan to balance the $800 to $900 million deficit with budget cuts only. Other House Republicans were reluctant to support more than a six-month or twelve-month tax — although this short-term plan was out of the bounds of compromise and virtually would assure more crisis management next year. With only a handful of Republicans willing to support an eighteen month to two-year income tax hike, those of us in leadership positions on the Taxation Committee were in an awkward bargaining position. Still we talked in good faith with the Governor and Democratic leaders. In fact the possibility of building strong bi-partisan support for a two-year hike was reasonably good in the Taxation Commit­ tee — until the Governor decided to shut off the negotiations. For all of his lofty rhetoric about wanting a longrange solution to Michigan's fiscal mess, Governor Blanchard refused to define the problem. He asked House members for a permanent tax, but he never fulfilled his pledge to release the revenue and ex­ penditure projections needed to justify any tax in- Inflation CHLORTRIMETON tablets M 8 MG. 24’S SHAMPOO OR BAUSCH & LOMB 1 DISINFECTING SOLUTION 12 0Z. 2«9 HEX FLEX SUPPOSITORIES 4’S PUMP 12 02. 159 SALINE SOLUTION 12 0Z. LENS CARRYING CASE , PAGETHREE crease beyond this year. He promised a lean, con­ tinuation budget in 1984 and spoke of long-range structural changes to reduce the size and scope of state government. Yet. he failed to explain why he wants or needs the billions of dollars of additional revenue that his indefinite tax would add to Lan­ sing's coffers. Without this necessary information, it was impossible for Republican leaders to negotiate a meaningful compromise — much less promote any reasonable plan within the House Republican Caucus. All evidence points to one troubling conclusion. The Governor wanted to take the largest possible tax increase plan to the Senate for bargain’ng pur­ poses — even if this strategy resulted in the failure to produce a bi-partisan agreement in the House. Governor Blanchard won a short term victory. If this kind of partisanship poisons future debates in the House, however, he will ultimately lose - as will the people of Michigan. As for the tax plan itself, he now faces a bitter fight in the Senate among more evenly divided partisan forces — without a bi­ partisan precedent in the House from which to work. It may be I am making too much of what has happened so far. It may be that a bi-partisan com­ promise eventually will emerge from final discussions between the Senate and the House. I hope so, for the alternative cold be excessive taxation or partisan paralysis. To avoid either unhappy result. Governor Blanchard will have to show more good faith in the Senate than he has demonstrated in the House THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP. HILLEGONDS.

Whichever way you look at it, it all spells F-U-N. And you can join in because the Middleville Youth Football Association is sponsoring a donkey basketball game on Sunday, March 27 to be held in the Middleville high school gym. Featured as the riders will be our Youth Football head coaches against their assistant coaches, each team captained by either David Hill or James Hun­ ter of the Detroit Lions. To enjoy donkey basketball one must understand the rules, because there really are no rules. Players must be mounted to shoot, pass, catch a pass, steal, or block passes and shots. There are no time-outs, no fouls, no out-of-bounds, and substitutions come in freely from the bench. So plan to come see our coaches and 2 of the Detroit Lions pitted against the likes of Phyllis Diller, Boss Hogg. Broken Bones, and the rest of the donkeys. See new rodeo stars bom, gymnastics heroes of tomorrow emerge, and especially good family fun for the price of a movie. Tickets are $3.50 for adults, $2.50 for students K-12, and children not in school are free. This all starts at 7 o’clock with doors open at 6 p.m. Advance tickets are available from all MYFA board members. Or phone 795-3440 or 795-7315 for tickets or information.

Michigan THURSDAY, MARCH 17.1983 TK Height Key to District Crown Receives Degree from MSU by Jim Verlinde Height became the name of the game last week in district tournament play as Thornapple Kellogg rolled to three straight victories to capture the district crown. The finale saw Skip Pranger s Trojans pay back the South Christian Sailors. The Orange played out their mistakes early in the tournament, collecting 22 turnovers in their first victory. The narrow 51-49 win over Hopkins saw guards Jim Schipper and Dave VanSickle combine for 26 points. But height played the decisive role when 6’6” Dave Perry sank an inside jumper in the closing seconds to ice the TK victory. In the second game of district play, the Trojans conquered league-opponent Byron Center 57-46. Tall man Jeff Kerber paced his team with 18 points and 9 rebounds. Free throws became vital as TK out-tossed the Bulldogs 79% to 53%. Last year’s district tournament at Thornapple Kellogg saw South Christian freeze the Trojans enroute to a district crowning, but the Orange came back hungry this year and sank the Sailors on their home court. 74-50. The Trojans' front crew might have been compared to the New York skyline as the Frosh Win 6th in Row To Complete Season Middleville’s Freshman Basketball team finished the season with their 6th win in a row as they defeated Byron Center by the score of 41 to 35. It was a close ball game throughout as the first quarter ended 10-8 in favor of Middleville and the score at half was 18-16. also in favor of TK. The second half was not much different as the Trojans outscored Byron Center by 4 points and won the game 41-35. Mike Myers led a balanced attack with 11 points. Jim VandenBerg played his best game of the year and followed with 10 points. Jon Scott had 8 and Jerry Steele 7. Jon Moretti had 4 points and Bnan Smith 1. This game ended the season for the Fresh­ men as they finished up with a record of 12 wins and 8 losses. Saint on campus Triple Tower Team of Chris Noah (6’4”). Jeff Kerber (6’6”) and Dave Perry (6'6”) collected 16. 13 and 12 points respectively. Aggressive defense and blocked shots held South Christian to a 29 percent shooting average, while TK held the ball well on offense, committing just ten turnovers. Senior Jim Schipper added spice from the outside as he tallied 11 assists and five steals. Fellow guard Dave VanSickle became the fourth man to hit double-scoring figures with 12 points. The district championship allowed the Trojans to advance to regional play being held at Godwin this week. Tuesday night s game pitted TK against Whitehall. Girl’s Track Team Places 3rd at Relays While the Trojan Varsity was winning their basketball game against South Christian, the girls track team was pulling off a strong third place at the WMU Relays. Attending the indoor track meet were seventeen Class C and D schools. Although competition was tough, the young and ambitious team from Middleville proved themselves strong enough to take the heat. Amber Steeby. a junior, gave an exceptional per­ formance. placing first in the 800 meter run with a time of 2:33.8. Also pouring it on as strong as ever, Sue Kaechele. a senior, placed second in the 1600 meter run An exciting moment came when the mile relay team of Amber Steeby, Sue Kaechele. Brenda Page and Jeana VanderMeulen won the race in their heat. However, an unfortunate 8/10 of a second delay placed them second overall with a time of 4:28.7. Also placing in the meet was Norma Carpenter, a newcomer on the track. Norma ran a tough race, placing third overall in the 3000 meter run timed at 12:37.0. And Jeana VanderMeulen. voted Most Valuable Member in the 1982 season, came through with an excellent 400 meter run ranking her in third place with a time of 1:07.3.

MiddlevfiJe, Michigan PAGE TWELVE National Poison Prevention Week March 20-26, 1983 The week of March 20-26 has been designated as National Poison Prevention Week. The Western Michigan Poison Center has compiled some suggestions to help people poison-proof their homes. 1. Remember, children cannot be poisoned by something they cannot see or reach. Keep all medications and hazardous products (eg. gasoline, drain opener, pesticides! locked away when not in use. Other less hazardous items (eg.plants, perfume, shampoo) can be kept in high shelves and away from curious eyes. 2. Do not depend upon close supervision to prevent poisoning. Many poisonings occur when an adult is within reach of the child. You cannot watch a child every second. 3. Call medicine by its proper name. Never suggest that medicine is "candy.” 4. Once an illness has ended, promptly dispose of drugs prescribed for thrft illness. Flush them down (Caledonia News Continued from Pg.ll) Las Vegas. When arriving home they noticed daughter Lori was home from Ypsilanti college and had the living room all re-arranged, cleaned the debris from the yard.

Self­ diagnosis and use of outdated medicine cam be dangerous. 5. Keep all medications and other products in their original, labeled containers. Never store poisonous substances in food or beverage containers. 6. Read all labels carefully before taking medication or using a product. Follow the direc­ tions. However, be careful of antidote information which may be outdated. Find out what first aid measures your doctor or local poison center recom­ mends. and follow that advice. 7. Don’t give or take medication in the dar. 8. Avoid taking medication in front of children. They are great imitators of adults. 9. Use the proper measuring device when ad­ ministering liquid medicine. There are special medication spoons and cups now available, which are more accurate than your average household teaspoons. 10. Use child resistant packaging whenever possible. Do not rely only on these, however, to keep a child from being poisoned. Children can open these, especially if they are not replaced securely. 11. If you are interrupted while using a product, take it with you. Poison Centers hear frequently, “I just left for a second.’’ That’s all the time a child needs to become poisoned. 12. Keep a poison treatment kit in your home: Syrup of Ipecac, Activated Charcoal and Epsom Salts. Do not use it unless you have been directed to do so by your doctor or the poison center. The Western Michigan Poison Center offers emergency poison information 24 hours a day. seven days a week. There are two toll-free numbers: (616 area only) 800-442-1471 and (statewide) 800-6322727.

Flower Gardens are a beautiful addition to everyone’s landscape. 4-H members learn all the basics for growing beautiful flowers . soil preparation, fertilizing, planting, thinning and tran­ splanting. They also learn various uses of flowers ... such as flower borders, window box gardens, cut flowers, and so on. Members also learn how to make arrangements and corsages. The Conservation project offers many interesting options . . birds, pond life, wildflowers, trees. Bird enthusiasts learn how various birds fit into the balance of nature and what their feeding habits are. Spring also provides an excellent opportunity to study their nesting habits. Each year the 4-H mem­ ber learns to identify 15 new birds and several new bird songs. A pond is a fascinating place in the early spring . . and in the Pond Life project, 4-Hers trace the ac­ tivities of a pond community from spring through summer, fall. then into the frozen winter. They learn to identify the plant and animal life that make the pond a total community. Members especially enjoy regular trips to the pond to collect small animal life.

Adopted by the Thomapple Township Board October 11, 1982 Versatile Sauerkraut A men cans are eating less sauerkraut these days — a pity, because it is a nutritious, low-cost food. Stocks of canned sauerkraut are high, so con­ sumers can expect to see sauerkraut featured often during the next few weeks. Shoppers who feel sauerkraut goes only with German cuisine will be surprised to learn that cab­ bage is the most widely used vegetable in the world. Actually, it was the Chinese, not the Germans, who invented sauerkraut over 2,000 years ago. The Chinese pickled cabbage to preserve it. This pickled cabbage supplemented the rice diet of the laborers who built the Great Wall of China. Roving tribes of Tartars carried the taste for sauerkraut with them as they conquered an area of Europe that is now Germany and northern France. It was in Germany that sauerkraut acquired its name. When Germans emigrated to America, they took with them their crocks, kraut-making skill and fon­ dness for this flavorful dish.. The cabbage was first fermented with wine. Near the end of the 16th century, someone found that cabbage fermented with salt had a superior flavor to that pickled with wine. The salt brine method is still used today to make sauerkraut. Michigan is one of the leading producers of sauerkraut in the United States. The cabbage growing areas are concentrated in Macomb, Monroe, St. Clair. Saginaw and Bay Counties. Processors in the state pack several of the leading national brands of sauerkraut. Most of the sauerkraut is packed into cans and jars, but some also goes into flexible plastic bags. The bags of sauerkraut are perishable and must be refrigerated. You’ll find this unprocessed, crispier product in the dairy case and/or the meat case in most large supermarkets. Sauerkraut is a relatively inexpensive vegetable. A pound of either canned or bagged sauerkraut yields four half-cup servings, so costs are easy to compare. The cost per serving varies from 8 cents to 14 cents, according to a recent survey of sauerkraut available in one local market. In addition to the various packages of sauerkraut, shoppers have a choice of flavor. Sauerkraut in the plastic bags generally has a bitier taste than the canned products. There’s also a sauerkraut for consumers who prefer kraut with a mild flavor and less odor. The packer of this product has added a bit of sugar and a dash of caraway seed. Today’s sauerkraut packers carefully control product quality. Top quality sauerkraut has a bright, uniform, white-to-light cream color. Its shreds are uniformly thick and crisp but easy to cut. The Dutch Navy discovered back in the 18th cen­ tury that eating sauerkraut kept the crew relatively free of scurvy. It wasn’t until the 20th century that scientists discovered it was the ascorbic acid, or Business Women’s First Exchange April 23rd The Hastings Business and Professional Women announce their First Annual Business Women’s Exchange, to be held Saturday, April 23, from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the Community Building at the Barry County Fairgrounds, Hastings. The Exchange is designed to be a show and sale of goods and services by businessesk owned or co­ owned by area women. The purpose of the Exchange is to introduce women who are in business to the public; to identify women-owned businesses for inclusion in a direc­ tory; to show diverse products and services; to provide an inexpensive opportunity to advertise and promote, and to stimulate business activity. The ex­ change is unique in that exhibitors will be women who own or co-own businesses in the Barry County area. Invitations to participate have been sent to many area businesswomen; however, since there is no complete listing of women-owned or co-owned businesses, anyone who wishes to exhibit who has not already been contacted is also invited to par­ ticipate. Complete information is available by con­ tacting Ruth Hughes at 852-1978 or Sharon Kermeen at 795-3525. The only qualification, in ad­ dition to the business being owned or co-owned by a woman, is that the business be the participant’s source of income, a regular job, and not for those who do things for a hobby or part time. The Exchange will provide an opportunity for participants to write orders or make direct sales; a chance to start or add to a mailing list; an introduc­ tion to other women in business; and a nice change of pace from the workplace. The public is cordially invited to attend vitamin C in kraut that prevented scurvy. An average serving of undrained sauerkraut provides about 25 percent of the recommended dietary allowance of vitamin C and minor amounts of other vitamins and minerals. The calorie count for sauerkraut is extremely low — only 15 per half-cup serving. TAX PREPARATIONS Typing Service*Photo Copies^Offics Supplies GIAR BUSINESS SERVICE HOURS/ Daily 9 a.m. - 5 p m.

They recognize that this takes away the difficult burden of decision making later during the hour of need and assures the family of doing the right things within proper budgets. For some time, this funeral home has recognized the needs and desires of thinking persons to plan ahead. I have developed ways of assisting those who wish to make arrangements in advance. Our funeral home has quite a lot of families who have so recorded their plans and wishes with us. They appreciate the opportunity to make these wishes known. Most people have definite ideas about the ser­ vices they wish for themselves; specific details such as the minister, the music and scripture readings, flowers, costs, etc. They don’t have to pre-plan their funerals, but they know it’s a good feeling when it’s done and the family won’t have to worry about it! There are three reasons to pre-plan your funeral Economy — You can save money when you pre­ plan by stipulating only as much in service and mer­ chandise as you wish. Personal Choices — You can choose your own clergyman, music, scripture and the kind of service, down to the smallest detail. Inner Security — It is a weight off your mind, knowing that your arrangements are complete, and the costs will not be a burden to your family. In invite you to visit or call about pre-planning your funeral service. There are no costs or obligations, and you don t even have to pre-pay your funeral to have your wishes made known Sincerely Director Roetman Funeral Chapel Caledonia, MI Charles Roetman, Director Phone 891-8155 Freeport, MI Charles Roetman, Director D.

No, the town of Middleville wasn’t in flames last Friday night. The sirens, lights, noise and other commotion were simply an escort for the Thomapple Kellogg Trojans and their regional champion­ ship trophy. The celebration came as a result of con­ secutive victories over regional rivals Whitehall and Newaygo. The Orange s first win saw 75 percent free throw shooting guide the Trojans to an 84-71 whitewashing of the Whitehall Vikings. Senior guard Jimmy Schipper led TK’s teamwork effort as he collected 15 assists and 20 points, including a 10 for 13 stint from the charity stripe. Dave Perry, Brian Miller and Jeff Kerber added 18, 17 and 17 points respectively to round out the list of double figure scorers. BRIAN MILLER shoots another of his deadly comer shots in the Regional game with Newaygo. DAVE VAN SICKLE goes up for a bucket despite the efforts of the Newaygo defender. To Test Sirens Today There will be a test of the Mid­ dleville fire sirens today (ThursdayI at noon as a part of the Barry Coun­ ty Civil Defense alert. The sirens are used in case of severe storm war­ nings. The three-minute up and down sounding indicates a tornado has been sighted in the area and cover should be taken immediately. Following a pause, a one minute continuous blast is the signal for "all dear* Remember, this is a TEST ALERT todav Regional-final playproved to be spectacular as the Trojans escaped with a 56-51 win over the Newaygo Lions to capture the second regional crowning in Thomapple Kellogg history. Middleville won a regional title in 1966 and got to the State quarter finals. Height once again became vital to TK’s suc­ cess as 6’6” Jeff Kerber came away with 27 points while fellow-skyscraper Dave Perry pitched in 12. Perry also ripped down 11 rebounds. Jim Schipper came through with nine steals and combined with Brian Miller for 13 assists. The championship game, being the Orange and Black’s 22nd win, tied the record for most victories in a season by any Trojan squad. It also allowed Thomapple Kellogg to move into quarter final play which took place Wednesday at Jenison Fieldhouse on the campus of Michigan State University. JEFF KERBER takes a rebound to put away one of his 27 points to lead the TK attack with Newaygo.

Because my budget only allows short trips, most vacationing I have done has been within the United States. The United States is so large and so scenic that I don’t feel at all deprived. Sometime in my life I would like to visit Europe and other in­ teresting foreign lands. For right now I’m content to see this country. Part of the excitement of traveling for me in­ cludes the planning stages. Much time is spent looking at books and maps. Some of the books are so beautiful. I feel like I've visited the places photographed already. There are many travel books in the library that could certainly help with the planning of your vacation. Even if you don't have the money or time to take a trip, these books are fun to look at. If you happen to be one of the few brave and lucky souls who is anticipating a trip abroad, I suggest you consult the geography section of the library. All of the popular countries are well represented in the public book collection. In addition, there are materials which help you plan the visit, discussing such things as currency exchanges, visas, accom­ modations, restaurants and lists of sites and events you don’t want to miss. An excellent example of a European travel guide is Where the Fun is Abroad put out by Pan Am. This book is compiled by students and is geared to young travelers but would be a valuable resource to any European traveler. There are many more good books available. Come in and ask. Since the majority of travelers reading this column will be visiting parts of the U.S. I’d like to use the rest of the space to discuss books on American vacations. By far, my favorite collection of travel books are the National Geographic collection. There are about fifteen of the books in the library dealing specifically with sections of the United States. The photography is sperb and the text inspiring. These books allow you to see sights that the average visitor will never be able to see. I keep checking the books out because I love to look at the pictures. Here is a sampling of National Geographic books in the collection: America's Spectacular Northwest, America's Atlantic Isles, Alaska, The Majestic Rocky Moun­ tains, The Appalachian Trail, and Still Waters, White Waters. The Amoco Motor Club has recently (1981) put out books called: Mini-Vacations in the Southeast and Mini-Vacations in the Midwest. These books map out short auto tours in states of the Midwest and southeast. They include information on tourist attractions, historic sites, state parks, ski lodges, hike and bike trails, and hunting and fishing infor­ mation. Many of the tours can be done in 2 to 4 days. These books are the answer if you don’t have time to organize a trip but still want to get away for a weekend. Know Your America edited by Marion Patton and Mary Sherwin is a compact book filled with infor­ mation on every state of the Union. Each state is discussed separately, the author noting such things as weather conditions, key cities and towns, special events and sports facilities. There are two volumes in the set and the information is current (1978), Whether you are planning a vacation, or are sim­ ply dreaming of far off places, check these books out. It’s fun to plan to "some day" travel and visit the places in the photographs.

Michigan Proposes Study of Higher Education’s Future A resolution urging the governor to appoint a council to study Michigan's higher education system and to recommend a course for the future has been introduced in the House. State Representative Paul Hillegonds, the resolutions co-sponsor, said the measure would force “a hard look at downsizing higher education facilities to eliminate duplication rather than con­ tinuing across the board the cuts that are weakening the very core of our major institutions.” "Our finest universities have been seriously damaged by inadequate funding for nearly a decade." Hillegonds said, "and support will con­ tinue to be limited in the forseeable future. I don't think we can afford to continue the policy of uniform reductions that has resulted in drastic program cut­ backs on an uncoordinated basis. It works against the best interests of the state and the students seeking an education. ’ ’ Hillegonds said academic standards have been the hallmark of Michigan's higher education system and his proposed council would examine options for maintaining excellence in the face of declining enrollments and reduced state support. "This group would be charged with determining the vital core of higher education that we must preserve to best serve the citizens of the state and our nation and to recommend the optimum method of directing state funds,” he continued. "I believe such a study would be best accom­ plished by representatives of business, labor, gover­ nment and civic organizations and using people in the Department of Education as resource persons. Hillegonds explained that the idea for the council is not new. In 1982 representatives of the Boards of Control of the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Wayne State University met with then Governor William Milliken to express their concerns for the future of higher education and recommend the appointment of a blue ribbon com­ mittee to study the optimum down-sizing of higher education. Governor Blanchard's Fiscal Crisis Council also endorsed the idea and recommended the creation of a special committee. "Michigan's entire economy is changing and creating new types of jobs and reducing the need for others. In the past, our higher education in­ stitutions have played a key role in research and development, as well as training. But our economy has also reduced the dollars available to support these institutions, and our ability to respond to changing needs of employers is in jeopardy, Hillegonds said. “We have a choice. We can continue to cut higher education uniformly and reduce our great in­ stitutions to a level of mediocrity, or we can face up to the need to consolidate and eliminate programs to assure that the standards of excellence for which this state is known will not be compromised, will not be compromised.

St. Patrick’s Day proved to be more special than just "The wearin’ of the green" at Middleville’s Middle School. It was then that the seventh graders were treated to twenty-nine speakers who shared in­ formation on careers with the students. Bernie Weller, the Middle School counselor, and Audrey Bennett, the counseling secretary, organized this first time event. With the cooperation of principal Joe Sanford and the entire Middle School staff and students, the two hour career experience was a huge success and beneficial for all involved. Originally, the idea of having a Career Day evolved from the fact that very little career ex­ periences existed for our seventh graders. There are existing programs in the sixth and eighth grades, but until now, none for the seventh graders. In the future the counseling department will continue to have a Career Day as well as other career experien­ ces. MARCIA BENNETT DEB FREY AND JUDY SLOAN explained how to become a BEAUTICIAN.

MARCH 24,1983 CAPITOL REPORT FROM HILLEGONDS STATE REPRESEN TA TIVE. S4tt» DISTRICT Some words of wisdom to first term members from a grizzled, two-term “veteran”.. If you have a specific, non-controversial local problem which requires a small change in the law. chances are that homework on your part will move the bill through the legislative process. If you are a member of the minority party and are pushing a major bill, learn to be patient and humble: Patient because a substantial issue with any controversy at­ tached to it may never be placed on the committee chairperson’s agenda: Humble because if your idea is a good one, it will likely be re-introduced by a majority party members whose bill will receive ac­ tion while yours is ignored. So it goes, but the important goal for minority members is to try to promote good public policy — and don’t get hung up over who is going to get the credit. With this in mind, I am re-introducing some ideas that deserve another try, and will be pushing some new bills too. Here is a review of the measures I have sponsored in the House thus far this session: Sunset, Chapter III. In my first term sunset legislation was the subject of a bitter partisan debate which ended in a gubernatorial veto. Those of us who battled then have worked quietly during the past two years toward a compromise. The bill I have introduced this year enjoys significant bi-partisan support. It would establish a legislative evaluation process to review all state programs over a ten-year cycle. Thirty percent of the programs to be reviewed would have pre­ determinated termination dates. I believe that sun­ set dates will encourage timely reviews. Ter­ mination deadlines also will force lawmakers to go on record as to whether certain state programs should be continued in existing or modified form — or abolished. Michigan’s fiscal woes are causing government to retrench, but the sacling-back has been a haphazard, across-the-board process. At long last lawmakers are beginning to realize the need for long-range structural reform and the setting of state program priorities. Governor Blanchard himself sponsored sunset legislation when he served in Congress. The climate in Lansing may at last be right for a sunset evaluation process. Public vs. Private Competition. Over time state agencies and universities have taken on responsibilities that used to be contracted out to private businesses: for example, signmaking, aerial photography, geological core sampling, pharmaceutical and laundry services. State officials have justified such activities by claiming that they can perform them more cost-effectively than the private sector. But the state doesn’t pay taxes or factor in the cost of leasing or owning office space — nor does Lansing consider the lost jobs and tax base when private firms lose state contracts. To address what is a growing concern, especially among small businesses, I have introduced a bill that would mandate the state purchasing office to review the public vs. private competition problem LOANS TO SUIT YOUR LIFESTYLE When you need a personal loan to enhance or maintain your life­ style, come talk to us. We make loans, secured and unsecured, for any worthwhile purpose. Maybe you want funds for a perfect honeymoon . . . maybe you'd like to relax on a yacht or buy new living room furni­ ture ... IT’S UP TO YOU! Come see us today. Our loan serv­ ices remain completely confi­ dential, and we handle applica­ tions quickly and efficiently. We even plan repayment schedules to suit your budget. It's up to you. Come in and get the details on a loan to suit your lifestyle. and avoid unnecessary state duplication of private services. The measure also would force the state to pay a 1 % per month penalty to private contractors when the government is late in making its paymen­ ts. Because of increased bi-partisan interest in these issues, I hope that my bill or the Senate version will receive consideration in this session. Staying Alive: Unnecessary Regulation. The licensing boards for horologist (watchmakers) and myomassologists (massage parlor operators) are totally ineffective. Neither board carries out its in­ tended purpose of protecting consumers: one has come under legal and state departmental attack. Both have had their funding curtailed by the legislature. Last year the House approved my bills to put the two boards out of their misery. The Senate did not pass the measure, however. This session I ’ll try again. Qualifying for Public Financing. Michigan can­ didates for their parties’ gubernatorial nominations only have to raise $50,000 in private contributions before qualifying for matching public funds. Because this requirement is easy to meet, guber­ natorial primaries can become confusingly crowded with too many candidates having narrow regional and philosophical bases. To initiate a serious legislative discussion of this issue, I have in­ troduced a new bill that would triple the qualifying level — to $150,000 in private contributions before candidates could obtain public funds.

I cast a “no” vote — not because I am opposed to the intent of the Resolution, but because, in my opinion, it was biased and contained several Farm Insurance? One name says it best. DEVRIES INSURANCE AGENCY CALEDONIA - PAGE THIRTEEN Middled S« auod CaUdwd. New*. Middleville. Michigan THURSDAY. MARCH 24.1983 PHONE 8918125 ^lutthOu'ners Insurance Life. Home. Car. Business One name says it all. misleading statements. To focus entirely on only the jobs creation aspect of military spending — which the Resolution did — ignores the legitimate, necessary and vital reason for the existence of a military establishment - that of national security and defense. The wording of the Resolution also. I believe, does a disservice to the millions of men and women w*ho have served, fought and died as mem­ bers of the armed forces, and to suggest to them that the only reason they did so was to create jobs, is absurd. It is not easy to cast a vote against a Resolution like that, because it creates the impression that you are in favor of wasteful military spending and against the peace and responsible social programs. That is certainly not the case, and I could not put my stamp of approval on a document which I felt to be so slanted and misleading. So much for my soap box oratory for the week! Back in the real world, work continues in the Senate on the tax package. There appears to be some serious discussions being held there on alternatives to the 38% income tax hike that passed in the House, and hopes remain that we might have a plan adopted by the Easter recess - although no one is saying when the Easter recess will be! (ever hear of Easter in June?) Republicans have proposed an alternative to the House passed version of the Governor’s plan, calling for a 1% increase in the income tax rate, retroactive to January 1. 1983. through the end of fiscal year 1983, and some changes in the Single Business Tax. Also being discussed as an alternative is the possibility of a voter approved sales tax increase. I guess the significant thing in all this is that both sides are now at least talking, exchanging ideas, and considering some realistic alternatives. It will be in­ teresting to see what kind of goodies the Easter Bunny is hiding in his basket! Come to Seed Savings Days... John and Esther Kelley. Charles and Helen Kelley drove to Orlando. Florida from March 4 to 21st. They enjoyed Sea World. Busch Gardens and the Kennedy Space Center On the way back they stopped at the Steelcase plant in Athens, Alabama, for a tour.

USE THE SUN A NEWS CLASSIFIEDS SOON!! �Middleville Sun and Caledonia New*. Middleville. Michigan PAGE SIXTEEN counselor’s corner BY BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counselor Drugs and the Family In a recent survey, high school journalism students were asked to comment anonymously on factors within families which they thought might encourage family misuse or abuse of drugs or which might, on the other hand, discourage misuse or abuse. Most responses about factors leading to drug misuse ere not directly drug-related but had to do with: Parent relations with child, neglectful; unin­ terested; apathetic; uncommunicative; rejecting; comparing with siblings and others; inconsiderate: mistrustful; overprotective; abusive. Family relations: marital conflicts; family discord; broken families; parents away from home a lot; parent moody or depressed; nervous breakdown; parents "uptight”. Family discipline: over-permissiveness; excessive punishment; suppression; authoritarianism Other factors listed a few times were: financial problems; need to punish self or others; overwight; loneliness; lack of parent image; need to escape problems. Contributing factors that made direct reference to drug use were: overuse of alcohol by parents; overuse of tobacco by parents; overuse of prescrip­ tion and over-the-counter drugs by family members: extreme attitudes of parents against drugs and drug users; lack of knowledge, or inadequate knowledge, about drugs; accessibility of drugs in the home. What factors did students rate as discouraging to the abuse of drugs? Family relations. By far the most frequently mentioned deterrents to drug abuse were shared affection; love and caring; concern; not wanting to hurt parents; trust; closeness; willingness to listen; warmth; not trying to make kids alike; cooperation; doing things together; un­ derstanding of needs; sharing time; mutual respect; relating well to other people-enjoying people. Family discipline: reasonable restrictions; making kids solve their own problems; fostering respon­ sibility; keeping "tabs" on kids. Freedom of expression, open discussion, open mindedness were also listed by several students. According to the Avon Products Educational Services Survey, teenagers had a lot to say about parents’ contribution to the drug scene, including: being hooked on alcohol beyond social limits; pill popping around the clock; trying to be buddies with kids and "buying your way " with them; being too busy to listen to or spend time with their children. The teenagers suggested that parents: Cut down on drinking and pill-popping. Stay home from booze parties once in a while. Listen; be more openminded. Give kids enough love so they don't have to search for it in drugs. Be parents, not buddies. Ac­ cept parental responsibilities; stop spoiling kids. Quit trying to buy happiness. Look to the "real things in life.” Ease up on academic, social and other pressures. Help children with daily problems. Become educated about drugs. “Find out the facts, even if you have to buy a book at a head shop." Know the signs of drug misuse. Help the child who is hooked on drugs in a loving and caring, suppor­ tive way. Education About Drugs Drugs — use, misuse, abuse — Guidance for families. Taken from Public Affairs Pamphlet No. 515. Margaret Hill, author. Peer influence is especially strong during the years when boys and girls are outgrowing childhood and family • being like people of one’s own age is a basic need. But parental influence comes first in a child's life and has lasting effects, particularly if the REALTORS OF CALEDONIA PHONE 891 9219 * FOR PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE SERVICE * 9790 Cherry Valley Dele DeVries 698 -6668 ♦ Henry Nytnile 891-1504 family functions successfully and with satisfying results for the children. In order to be meaningful, the education about drugs cannot be separated from education for living. The goal of education is survival — physical, psychological, intellectual and social. In school, the knowledge and skills of the curriculum are selected as tools that students are likely to need in order to get along in life. What knowledge and skills are necessary to drug education? There is first a need for information. Survival involves decision-making, and sound decisions are based on knowledge. But in­ formation is only one part of education. Knowing that the outcome of taking LSD is unpredictable is no deterrent to the individual who thrives on risk and danger. So attitudes, also, figure in decision making. Social conditions play a role, too. Knowing that continued use of heroin will lead to addiction, and realizing that addiction is bad news, won’t prevent an individual from using the drug. If his life is so in­ supportable that opiates are a comforting escape from reality. In order to be effective, education about drugs must be only one facet of the entire process, at home and at school, of learning to live, learning to be a person. The overall effect of drug education in the school is difficult to measure. Does Ellen avoid dangerous drugs because of what happened to that drugged rat in the biology lab? Does Walter "do drugs” because he learned in sociology class how people obtain and use illicit drugs? Did Marty quit shooting speed as a result of the rap sessions about why people misuse drugs? Of course, some programs are effective, but there are valid criticisms of drug education as it is too of­ ten conducted. Summarized, the major shor­ tcomings are: Inaccurate information. Use of scare tactics. Moralizing. Information presented with no chance for pupil evaluation or discussion. Teacher biases and "hang-ups". Lack of organization and continuity. Unrealistic goals, such as total ab­ stinence from drugs. Material presented by teachers who do not have rapport with students, whose opinions are not respected, or who are guilty of dehumanizing students. Ineffectual literature and audio-visual materials. The National Coordinating Council for Drug Education conducted a thorough review of drug films and found about 80 percent contained factual errors. Based on a year-long study,, the National Education Association concluded that prepackaged drug education curricula and other related materials are generally of poor quality. They described the norm in drug education from coast-to-coast as "deplorable instruction." The type of drug education program that would best meet the criteria of training for survival would promote uninhibited expression and exchange of ideas and would include: Accurate and up-to-date in­ formation. A great deal of discussion about such subjects as social ills, personal problem-solving, lifestyles, the impact of the media on our lives, reasons for drug abuse, human relationships, philosophies and beliefs. In “talking things out," a person becomes acquainted with himself and decides what he really believes. Training for living. Actual practice in problem solving, in working out conflicts, in trying out new patterns of behavior. Much of this can be done through small-group work, role-playing, personal counseling and classroom ac­ tivity. There is considerable emphasis in education today on preventive measures. Learning how to live is now even becoming part of the elementary school curriculum. The director of a drug rehabilitation center recently commented:"When we go around to the grade schools to try to prevent drug abuse, we don't talk much about drugs. We talk sports and hobbies and how to get along with people. We talk a lot about friendship and about how people who are hooked on drugs are really very lonely. The kids have some wonderful ideas, and we really listen to what they have to say." We have said that drug education is really education for survival, for dealing with life. Because drug abuse usually reflects a persons faulty human relationships and damaged self-concept, let’s shift our focus from the drug problem to the problem of personality development.

Michigan Hams Plentiful for Holiday, Prices Higher Food BuyUnes The good news about ham this Easter season is that supplies are adequate for the demand. The bad news is that prices are slightly higher than they were a year ago. The price increase is due to a smaller overall pork slaughter. Hams are alike in several aspects They start their journey to American dinner tables as the hind legs of freshly dressed hogs. Most hams today are sold in cured form. After that they differ so much in the amount of bone, skin and fat covering; moisture content; flavor; cost per pound; yield; and cost per serving that a shopper needs a program to make comparisons. Quick-cured hams make up the greatest volume of ham sold in this country today. Of the quick-cured hams, the cook-before-eating types are usually ad­ vertised and labeled as smoked or cured hams. Processors heat these hams during the smoking process to an internal temperature of 139*Ff, which is two degrees above the temperature required to kill trichinosis organisms. At this point, smoked hams are technically safe to eat. but further cooking (20-25 minutes per pound at 325*F) is needed to develop flavor and tenderness. CLAY HILLS With WRETHAMcNEE Thursday Elizabeth Timm, Mary Jackson and I tester Curtis called at the Medical Facility in Hastings to see Mabel Betts. On their way home they called on Bea and Harold Cutler. Ken and Blanche Cisler spent Friday evening with Bea and Harold Cutler. John and Margaret Fields spent Friday afternoon with Lloyd and Orpha Dundas. It was Lloyd’s birthda. David and Mary Fields and their oldest son Paul of Wisconsin spent Friday evening with Orpha and Lloyd. They hadn’t seen Paul for nearly two years. Nancy Bailey and family were Sunday dinner guests at the Lloyd Dundas home. Russell Harriett returned home from the hospital Tuesday. Schools were closed last Monday because of the snow storm. Now some snow is gone, but we may get more tomorrow? Ard and Cleo DeWind and I attended the pancake supper at Gaines U.B. Church Saturday evening. Very good. Kathy Foster and Carrie stopped by Thursday and had lunch with me. Sunday afternoon Wade and Diane stopped a lit­ tle while. Join us for Easter Sunday Get a taste of our friendly service... you and your family deserve it. Fully cooked hams are cured hams that have been heated long enough during the smoking process to develop desired flavor and tenderness. These hams may be served without further cooking, but most peopleprefer to heat them 10 minutes per pound in a 325 oven. Heating longer than this or in a hotter oven toughens and shrinks the ham. Either partly or fully cooked hams may also be labeled "water added," which means they contain as much as 10 percent more moisture after processing than before. Many consumers verbally object to this practice, but in taste tests, water-added hams are usually judged jucier — a characteristic American consumers prefer. Hams containing more than 10 percent added weight must be labeled "imitation ham." Hams that are not labeled "water added" contain no more moisture than the fresh hams from which they were made. Canned hams ranging from 1V^ to 10 pounds are available in the meat departments of most super­ markets. Canned hams are allowed to gain up tp 8 percent water during curing. The gelatin is included in the net weight. Price alone is of little value in comparing the cost of one type of ham with another because yields dif­ fer dramatically. Fully cooked, semi-boneless hams provide an average of three to four servings (3 ounces each) to the pound. Fully cooked, boneless hams usually yield four to five servings to the pound — the same as canned hams. All cured meats contain sodium - it's a component of the curing solution. Because of high blood pressure or other health problems, many people who would like to eat ham have been advised by their SHAMPOO 11 OZ.

Mkhi^an PAGE SIX counselor’s corner BY BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counselor Drugs and Child Development Drugs - use, misuse, abuse - Guidance for families. Taken from Public Affairs Pamphlet No. 515, Margaret Hill, author. Of all the factors that contribute to drug abuse, in the final analysis the way a person feels about him­ self or herself is critical. How does a child's self­ concept get bruised by the very people who love him or her? Usually by the unrealistic expectations or demands of his or her parents. Suppose you decide even before your child is bom that he or she will be perfect — a fine physical specimen and intelligent, of course. Then along comes your son and he turns out small and scrawny instead of husky and athletic like his dad. In school he earns mediocre grades, which means either he isn’t as intelligent as you planned or as ambitious. He isn’t the kid you had in mind and he will sense your disappointment even if you try to hide it. He can’t be who you think he should be and you won’t discover who he really is. His reaction may be one of rebellion or of guilt at letting his parents down. Either way, he is likely to handle his negative feelings through some type of unhealthy behavior. One type of unhealthy behavior is drug dependency. A drug-dependent person suffers guilt. He may have started using drugs to allay the guilt, or he may feel guilty about his drug behavior. Guilt is the most destructive of emotions. How do parents foster guilt? Through an excess of punishment and disapproval, through frequent criticism. Or through insufficient discipline. If always allowed to do as he or she pleases, the child may develop guilt feelings for not having to pay the price for his misbehavior.

Main Caledonia, Michigan Phone 891-8222 Easter Egg Time Of Year Here Again Scot Track Kentwood Relays The Eastertime is here again and colored eggs. Eggs are a nutritional bargain and we should plan some menus to use all the Easter eggs we so carefully colored. Dry beans are the food which sup­ ply cheaper protein. Eggs supply many minerals and vitamins and are only 80 calories each. Should colored eggs be refrigerated? Yes. Colored eggs to make colorful and pretty centerpieces but if we choose to use the eggs as a centerpiece, we should not plan to eat them. How long will eggs keep? You can refrigerate eggs in their carton for at least 4 to 5 weeks. Eggs can age more in one day at room temperature than in one week in the refrigerator. Cool, then store hard cooked eggs in the refrigerator and use within one week. What's the best way to take an egg camping? Carefully! The very best "pack'' for an egg is the one it come in — its shell. You can buy rigid plastic V4 or 1 dozen egg carriers to protect eggs. Remem­ ber to keep eggs in a cool place — preferably a cooler. Eggs in the shell keep flavor and freshness for several days if kept cool. Do blood spots occasionally found on egg yolks indicate a fertile egg? No. the spots are caused by the rupture of a blood vessel on the yolk surface during the formation of the egg. Most eggs with blood spots are removed during the grading process, but a few may escape detection. Both chemically and nutritionally, these eggs are suitable for consumption. The spot can be removed with the tip of a knife, if you wish. Have you ever tasted an "Eggchilada"? Roll up scrambled eggs in a tortilla, top with en­ chilada sauce and a drift of sour cream. For a finishing touch sprinkle with green onions. Ole! The Fighting Scot track team opened the 1983 indoor season by taking a partial team to the Ken­ twood Relays.

Thanks! We would at this time like to sin­ cerely thank the people of the com­ munity for your great enthusiasm and support during the past basketball season. Thanks especially to the Boosters, the Fire Department, Jim Sprague, Tom Jeltes, Ray Page, Henry Dugan, Duane Peterson, Joyce Domire, Sue Rounds, Beth Wester, Art Ellinger, Marie Kermeen, all the parents, students, cheerleaders, and anyone else we may have forgotten. You've helped to make this a year to remember. Thank you again, Skip Pranger and the Middleville Varsity Basketball Team Skip Pranger’s Thornapple Kellogg Varsity basketball squad defied the odds and the Detroit sportswriters last week, climbing all the way to the state semi finals where they ended their season with a loss to the eventual Class C State Champions. Last Wednesday saw the Trojans travel to East Lansing for quarter-final play after the previous week’s regional crowning. One Detroit sports columnist stated that TK would “have to pay their way” into the semi-finals after facing a sharp­ shooting Saginaw-Carrollton team. But the Orange shunned the prediction, riding a wild comeback rally to a 56-52 up-ending of the Carrolton Cavaliers and launching themselves into the Final Four of state competition. On Friday. Thomapple Kellogg hit the road for Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor to perform before a crowd of 9,000 in semi-final action. Kalamazoo Christian, the team which eventually rolled over Flint Hamady to capture the Class C title, proved just a little too much for the Trojans as TK fell short 74-64 after sending the contest into double over­ time. Trojan turnovers and Comet free-throw shooting became decisive factors in the outcome with ^vorj nappie Kellogg coughing the ball up 23 times and Kalamazoo Christian sinking 22 of 29 free tosses. The Orange kept things close with a balanced scoring attack as four athletes reached double figures in the scoring department. Jim Schipper, Jeff Kerber, Brian Miller and Dave Perry collected 15. 12. 12 and 10 points respectively, while Dave VanSickle pitched in eight. Schipper hit five of six shots from the charity stripe and picked up seven assists and four steals. The proud Orange finished out its season with 23 wins and four losses - the best record in Thomap­ ple Kellogg High School history. Schedule Banquet The parents and fans of the Middleville basket­ ball program will have a dessert banquet on Apnl 14, beginning at 7 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. Team members of the varsity, junior varsity and freshman teams will be honored, as will the cheerleaders of the teams. SUN AND NEWS PHOTOS BY C.

REPRESENTED BY ROB WHITE PHONE (616) 281 2330 2300 44th Street, S E. Kentwood, Ml 49508 GOOD DRIVERS Selling Michigan An investment in the future "Say Yes to Michigan" means more than a fancy slogan to Richard Surbrook. For him, they are words to live by—literally. Surbrook’s job. as director of Consumers Power Company’s Economic Development Depart­ ment is to ‘‘sell" Michigan—to convince non-Michigan business and industry considering expan­ sion or relocation that Michigan is the place to be. It’s not a job for the impatient particularly in these economic times. "Basically you’re planting the seed in their minds,” he says. “You don’t just make a presenta­ tion and have a company say. ’Hey, moving is a great idea. Let’s go to Michigan.’ "Relocations and expansions are planned over a period of several years. So it’s almost like out of sight out of mind.’ If we don’t keep selling a company on Michigan, the state might miss out when the decision is finally made." To meet the challenge, Surbrook and his staff have a well-planned offensive that includes visits to the corporate offices of likely targets, and par­ ticipation in trade shows at­ tended by the decision-makers. It also includes an advertising campaign in the magazines that pass across executive desks. The ad campaign alone has brought more than 350 inquiries. Once these companies over­ come their stereotype of Mich­ igan and take a closer look Michigan helps sell itself, Surbrook says. Businessmen "feel very good about our labor supply, particu­ larly if they need skilled labor Our energy supply looks very good, and the prices are com­ petitive Michigan’s water supply is a real plus. And we base a good transportation system, the 1-94 corridor (Detroit to Chicago) is one of the best industrial cor­ ridors in the nation." But the picture isn’t entirely bright, according to Surbrook THURSDAY. MARCH 31.1983 Adamany.

Adamany concluded his speech by endorsing this applied research is a cooperative venture bet­ ween the private and public sectors — the Governor Blanchard s tax hike plan. While I disagree with the permanency of the Blanchard proposal, the Wayne State president has made a compelling case for a temporary tax hike and again­ st further deep cuts in higher education funding.

Middfaa THURSDAY, MARCH 31,1983 Caledonia School Board Rejects Binding Arbitration Petition At the regular Caledonia Board of Education meeting on March 15. the Teacher Union submitted petitions requesting the Board to submit to “bin­ ding arbitration.” At a special board meeting on March 23, the board considered the union petition. The following is in response to the petition: The Board of Education feels that their respon­ sibility in representing the voters of Caledonia con­ sists of many components, including: 1. Policy and direction in the areas of: Curriculum development. Program development. School Accreditation, Facilities. Sports Programs. 2. Fiscal Responsibility. 3. Salaries and working conditions for bus drivers, secretaries, administrators, aides, cooks, custodians and other employees. 4. Teacher negotiations. Homeowners Insurance? One name says it best. DEVRIES INSURANCE AGENCY CALEDONIA - PHONE 891-8125 tAuto-Ouners Insurance Life. Home. Car. Business. One name says it all. All these and more must be considered in an effort to arrive at the very best school system for our young people. To isolate one element, such as teacher negotiations, and allow someone from out­ side the school district to dictate the conditions of teacher contracts is not acceptable to the board. The Board wishes to re-state its position and requests that the Union meet with the Board Negotiation Team as soon as possible. Note that the Union issued a Final Offer to the Board in Novem­ ber. 1982. In December of 1982 the ‘Union called a legal end to further talks by petitioning the Michigan Employment Relations Commission for fact-finding. It is now incumbent upon the Union to issue a proposal to the Board of Education to re­ initiate the bargaining process. The Board unanimously requests that the Union submit such a proposal. While the Board rejects the Union petition for “binding arbitration,” it recognizes a growing con­ cern on the part of the voters, the Board and the teachers to come to a settlement. The Board therefore resolves: A. That the union submit a proposal as noted above, and start negotiating with renewed vigor, determined to arrive at a settlement. B. That if. after solid and sincere negotiations the Board and Union cannot settle the contract, the Board reserves the option of asking all voters for an advisory opinion. This Board is committed to represent all the voters of this community. This board has been advised by counsel that, while “binding arbitration” has been used in isolated instances, there are serious legal questions related to “binding arbitration.” The Labor Relations and Mediation Act (Act 176 of the PA 1939 as amended! Section 423.25, clearly states: “The findings shall not be binding upon the par­ ties but shall be made public. “ This Board requests that the County Union resume serious negotiations. ROVING REPORTER Wfth HAZEL McCAUL Bea and Verne Wenger called on Mr. and Mrs. Frank Barnhart at Days Lodge Mobile Park. They also are from the Alto area. John Wilkes is still in Venice hospital with breathing problems. I spent Friday with Laneta at the hospital. Sunday evening she had lunch with me. She says that his breathing is not much better, but he hopes to be home soon. Irene Thomas and I spent Saturday at the Hobby and Craft show at Ramblers Rest Campground. Called on Otto and Pearl Holton while there and we saw Ed and Kate Winchester and Rhine and Bea Wiltzer of Caledonia. Then we attended the Barber­ shoppers at Venice Hich School. Sunday Bob and Betty Gillaspie. Irene Thomas and I attended church, then out to eat in Venice. Now the sad part. John H. passed away Tuesday March 15th at Venice Hospital from a cereberal hemorrhage. I am so thankful that he did not have to suffer for a very long time. He fell out of bed on Friday evening and early Saturday morning I found him on the floor after he got to his telephone to call me. We rushed him into the hospital and all was well until about 6:30 when they called me to come back that he had had the hemmorhage. He knew me until the end. God bless his soul. They wrote a bit about him here in the park that I will send up later. Be seeing you soon.

Mkhigu Easter Season Celebrations at Local Churches Area Engagements Tenebrae at Christian Reformed Combined Worship Friday Night On Friday, April 1, (Good Friday) at 7:30 p.m., there will be a Tenebrae Worship service at the Caledonia Christian Reformed Church. The focus of the service will be a commemoration of the suffering and death of Jesus Christ on the Cross. Tenebrae is a ‘vigil of darkness.’ In this service, eight candles are progressively extinguished, symolizing the light and the denial of the disciples and friends of Jesus following his crucifixion. A ninth candle, sym­ bolizing Christ, remains lit throughout the service. Special bulletins with printed liturgies are used by each participant in this service. Join us Easter morning, April 3, at 6:30 a.m. for an outdoor sunrise service by the pond. In case of bad weather the service will be held inside.

Coaches Hall of Fame Bob White, who for 19 years directed one of the most successful high school football programs in Michigan, will be inducted into the Michigan High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame this Saturday in Ann Arbor. Bob, who teaches math at Thomapple Kellogg High School, retired as head football coach at TK after the 1980 football year. He guided the Trojans over the years to 141 wins, 27 losses and six ties, with two of his teams in 1964 and ’65 picked as the Class C State Champions by the news media. White will join 29 other inductees into the Hall of Fame this year. Last year was the first time coaches were named to the Hall, and the coaches association expects to "catch up" with the deserving coaches in a few years. A teacher at TKHS for 29 years, Bob served as an assistant coach under Bill Hansen until he took the reins in 1961. During his entire coaching career at Middleville, White had as his assistant, defensive coordinator Gerald Page, the current TK school superintendent. Page retired from the gridiron at the same time White decided to quit. In nineteen years. White coached numerous all-conference players, seventeen all-staters and three all-Americans (Rob White, Gary VanElst and Monte Munjoy). Five of White s teams went undefeated for the season, and 13 of his 19 teams won conference championships. The last regular season game that White coached was against his son, Rob, then head coach at Wayland. Middleville won the contest 14-8 and finished the year 9-0. Twice Mid­ dleville gained a berth on the playoffs, but the big prize eluded White’s teams in 1979 and 1980. The esteem the community held for White was insured forever when the School Board named the football stadium in honor of Robert W. White in November of 1980. The induction ceremony, slated for Michigan Crisler Arena, will feature U of M Coach Bo Schembechler and former Ohio State Coach Woody Hayes. "Bear Bryant, who died in January, had been the scheduled speaker Thornapple Pre-School Meeting Monday The Thomapple Pre School will hold a mem­ bership meeting on Monday, April 11, to elect officers for next year.

One topic of discussion was how counselors and ministers could work together to help those people in need In February, the first series of questions and an­ THE FAMILY: Breakdown or Change? During this century, the family structure in the United States has undergone considerable change. Our divorce rate has reached a point that almost one of every two persons married today will end up divorced. The average family size has dropped from 4.7 persons in 1900 to only 2.75 persons in 1980 with 23% of the households in the United States made up of single people, living alone. The number of unmarried persons living together has risen dramatically and 42% of the total births in 1979 were to unmarried women. So much change has taken place that only 13% of American families fit the “traditional" model of working father, stayat-home mother, and one or more children. Our forum topic today concerns itself with these changing patterns and the effects they have on our community and its youth. IN YOUR OPINION, ARE WE UN­ DERGOING A BREAKDOWN OF THE FAMILY STRUCTURE OR JUST A PERIOD OF CHANGE? From Bernie Weller Since 1960 the number of one parent families has swers was presented in the Sun and News, with questions posed to Tony McLain, TK High School counselor and Pastor Wesley Smith of the First Baptist Church of Middleville. This week's questions are answered here by Rev. Roger Timmerman, pastor of the Middleville Christian Reformed Church, and Bernie Weller, TK Middle School Counselor. grown seven times as fast as the number of two parent families. There are 4.8 million single parents. One in every six children live in a oneparent family. Nine million live with their mothers while nine hundred thousand with their fathers. These statistics reflect the many changes taking place in the structure of the American family. I’m not sure a “breakdown" is taking place or not. It’s obvious that there aren’t as many traditional two parent families as there once were and yet there are many successful, happy traditional family situations that are doing very well. They aren’t ex­ periencing a breakdown. By the same token many traditional families are experiencing a great amount of turmoil, stress and anxiety. Some homes today are very dangerous places. I thank what breaks down in our society are relation­ ships. We seem to have gotten the message that if we aren’t happy then we ll blame that on someone else or get out of one situation and into another so we can maybe find happiness. It’s a sort of selfishness. Now, the danger in talking about this in general terms is that individual situations are not discussed. Every family situation is different. There are times, I’m sure that divorce occurs as a last resort. The final choice. All other options have been explored and haven’t worked. I’m not condemming anyone’s decision to decide for themselves what’s right for them. I am saying that people in turmoil need to look at alternatives and work hard at maintaining healthy relationships, especially those CONTINUED ON BACK PAGE �PAGETWO Middkvilk Sun and Caledonia Newa, Middleville.

There’s no penalty for lying and the MESC has no way to verify the claim. “Fortunately, it’s not a widespread practice right now, but it could become a much more serious problem if we don’t rectify our present law.” The Hillegonds bill would limit a voluntary quit­ ter’s unemployment requalification earnings to wages earned from established employers who pay unemployment taxes and are liable for jobless benefits. "This is an important bill. It addresses a concern that is symbolic of all the problems that have plagued the unemployment insurance system for years.

Middleville. Michigan PAGE FOUR STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STATE REPRESENTA TJVE. 54th DISTRICT Governor Blanchard has succeeded in ramming a substantial income tax hike through the legislature. His victory in the Senate was similar to one he achieved in the House. Senate Republicans were willing to support a temporary tax increase in order to resolve the deficits for this year and next. Instead Blanchard chose to push a higher and longer tax through the Senate on a partisan vote. The new Governor was able to appeal to the par­ tisan loyalty of the Democratic majorities in both Houses. This was his first major legislative test, and he wanted to win it on his terms. Unfortunately, his terms were designed to get him through his fouryear gubernatorial term with money to spare, regardless of the cost. The cost is high, on several counts. The final plan is a 38% income tax increase, from 4.6% to 6.35% in 1983. The rate will be 6.1% in 1984 and 5.35% in 1985, unless the unemployment level drops enough to trigger a lower tax during those years. From Oc­ tober, 1986, until unemployment averages 9% for six months, the tax rate will stay at 5.1%. Even­ tually the income tax rate could decline to 3.9% — but only if state unemployment averages 4% for six months! For citizens the immediate cost is an increase in state income tax withholding of 50.7% between April 1 and September 30 of this year. The average Michigan worker earning $9.14 per hour for forty hours a week ($19,000 a year) will contribute 42 ad- ditional minutes of every work week to the state. The tax hike scheme will bring in at least $3 billion of new revenue over the next few years. Some funds are needed to maintain and restore important state services, but the cost of such a large windfall may be the avoidance of needed program evaluation and re-structuring. Next year alone, the tax hike will result in an estimated 16% increase in state revenues, or $759 million over the tax-bolstered level for the current fiscal year. Governor Blanchard may have good intentions to re-shape the state s higher education system and eliminate non-essential boards and expenditures. With so much new revenue to spend, however, the legislature will not be inclined to make those kinds of difficult political choices. The partisan outcome of the tax debate has set the stage for a bitter legislative reapportionment battle. Last year’s Supreme Court decision authorized the legislature to redraw the 1982 legislative map for the remainder of this decade. With control of both Houses and the Governor’s of­ fice, the Democrats are now even more inclined to punish Republicans and increase their numbers in the House and Senate. Such a bloodletting could poison the debate on other important legislative issues during the next two years. The tragic cost will be less responsible public policy and more disen­ franchised citizens. Not that I am throwing in the towel for the rest of this session. Those of us who are Republicans will have to try harder than ever to be a responsible minority voice, proposing constructive policy alter­ natives and working for reasonable solutions to Michigan’s many problems. For example, the damage from an excessive income tax hike could be reduced if surplus revenues were used to: erase past accounting gimmickery as quickly as possible: replenish the state’s ‘‘rainy day fund’’ for future recessions; and reduce the local property tax burden by giving state aid to education the higher budget priority it deserves. Fighting for positive ends within the legislative process is the best way to make our representative government more accountable. I do not agree with BETTY'S Beauty Salon Phone 795-9062 A/so Evenings By Appointment 7105 Parmelee Road 1 Yi Mi. East of Whitneyville Dick Headlee that to check excessive taxation, the constitution should be changed to require a statewide vote in order to increase the income tax. That kind of inflexibility is exactly why lawmakers were not able to consider raising the sales tax rather than the income tax to deal with the immediate crisis. The answ*er is to change our elected represen­ tatives if they are not leading us in the direction our state needs to take. The challenge for the Republican minority will be to work in good faith toward sound, bi-partisan public policy. Then, if we fail to achieve our goals in Lansing, we must present candidates in 1984 who will offer a responsible choice to the voters. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP. HILLEGONDS.

Reading glasses are prescribed for different problems depending on the patient’s needs and visual difficulties. There is a big difference between reading glasses for the older adult who cannot see up close without them, and reading glasses for children. Most children have the ability to see clearly up close. However most screening projects at school only test this near vision over a period of 30 seconds to 1 minute. School work, reading, math and other close work demands may necessitate an accurate focus up close for periods of time over 20 minutes. Many children who are starting school or who are at the grade level where the amount an intensity of near work is increased, are not able to handle this. Their focusing system may not be fully developed to see clearly at near for that length of time. Also, the fine muscle control needed to accurately move the eyes (ie: reading) may not be fully developed. Children with nearpoint problems often encounter headaches, burning eyes and fatigue. With these problems, a child will start to dislike and avoid any amount of close work to eliminate any of the headaches, etc. that go with it. Reading glasses can help a child through these transition periods. The important point to remem­ ber is that the glasses may not help the child see clearer, but will help them see easier. In this way they can progress at their normal pace without any hindrance due to headaches or eye strain. Reading glasses are not addicting, nor do they become a crutch. In most cases, the child no longer needs them when their visual system develops to the level of their demands.

Guidance for families. Taken from Public Affairs Pamphlet No. 515. Margaret Hill, author. Drug Abusers - Running from Problems Besides suffering guilt, a drug dependent person has not had much practice in problem-solving. There are three basic ways of dealing with a problem: fin­ ding a solution to it; running away from it; learning to live with it. Drug-dependent persons have been running away for some time before they hit the drug scene. How do parents contribute to this tendency to run away? They may “run interference" in an effort to protect their child from any unpleasantness. They may have difficulty separating their problems from those of the other members of the family. Practice in problem-solving can begin when a child is very young. For instance: "I just found out you broke the neighbor’s window. What are you going to do about it?” If the child has dealt with this kind of problem before, he or she will probably give a constructive answer: "I’ll pay for the window." To this the parent can respond: "That’s a good decision. Do you have the money, or will you need to earn some?” A drug-dependent person may have the desire to punish. A child who grows up being continually criticized and punished will learn a pattern of punishment, and may use this device to get even with others. Or the child may hurt himself or herself in order to handle guilty feelings for being a "bad" person. Drug abuse is an unfailing method fnr punishing oneself and others and at the same time experiencing temporary comfort and enjoyment. The parent who disciplines consistently and logically will help the child learn to consider the consequences of his or her behavior. The parent may give choices in many matters as long as it is clear what the outcome will be: "If you go on that ski trip tomorrow, you’ll have to take the consequences of being truant. I won’t write an excuse for your ab­ sence.” Doing MORE...With LE Ph. 891-8418 _____________________ the staffof Located in the WESTERN AUTO Building on M-37 in Caledonia ______________ THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS THE JOYS OF WALKING If you aren’t the jogging sort, and you’d like to discover a simple, inexpensive way to get a good car­ diovascular workout and stay in shape . . . finding your ideal sport might just be as easy as putting one foot in front of the other: try walking. Now we re not talking about merely sauntering along. The kind of walking that’s being advocated here is real­ ly a move-'em-out, where’s-the-fire. low-key trot. In ef­ fect, it’s a less stressful, slowed-down version of jog­ ging . . . that, at the same time, allows you to lose weight, improve the muscle tone throughout your body, experience lowered blood pressure, enjoy better rest, and benefit from an overall sense of well-being. Most doctors agree upon the positive results of walking, while opinions vary on the benefits of jogging and running. The single most important investment a walker can make is in high-quality, comfortable shoes. If you don't already have a pair of jogging or walking shoes, it would be a good idea to buy some before you start your new exercise program You can wear most anything you want above your shoes and socks, as long as it's comfortable and is suited to movement Shorts are appropriate for both sexes from spring to fall, while a full, free-flowing skirt is OK for women who like to walk home from work In the winter you may need to wear layers of clothes, since you’ll undoubtedly warm up—and perhaps want to slip your outerwear into a day pack—after a short period of brisk walking. If you’re like most people, you've probably never given much thought to hoiv you walk, even though a person's stride is nearly as distinctive as his or her fingerprints or voice. Many individual mannerisms, however, aren t appropriate to bnsk, recreational walking. For example, notice how you plant your feet. Do they turn out or in significantly? If so, try marching along a painted line in a parking lot. placing your feet parallel to the stripe on either side and pushing off from the ball of the big toe with each step This sort of practice will help you develop an efficient gait . . . similar to that used by Olympic race walkers. Learn to swing your arms rhythmically as you go, too, holding your forearms at an angle of 90' to your upper arms Walking is an exercise that involves the whole body, and good arm action is one key to obtaining overall fitness benefits and achieving a stride that will really move you on out. Of course, its best to start out covering short distances . perhaps as little as a half- or quarter-mile The Complete Book of Walking by Charles T Kuntzleman and the editors of Consumer Guide (Simon &. Schuster, 19801 cautions beginners on three points: You should not walk so vigorously that you can t carry on a conversation as you go you should feel no pain and you should experience no great fatigue dur­ ing the remainder of the day following your walk If your body disagrees with even one of these statements, you re simply going at it too hard for your present level of condi tinning. (A reasonable goal, after six to eight weeks, would be to travel a full two miles in 40 minutes ) Walking can be extra fun if you organize several people into a walking chib. In fact, one of the best aspects of walking for exercise is that almost anyone can join in., from grandparents to toddlers And this sport is versatile enough that you can make it a solitary, personal activity Any way you choose, the most important thing is to put your best foot forward and walk your way to fitness!

The more this is done, the more our children will do it in their relationships. professional when we have interpersonal relation­ ship problems? Maybe the next law that’s passed should require every adult twenty-one and over to have at least one counseling session per year. From Rev. Timmerman The answer to this question could involve one in a rather complex argument about the family. There are those who say that we are undergoing a break­ down of the family structure and that this break­ down will lead to the death of the family. Others say that the family is not dying, but is experiencing change. I come from a religious tradition in which the family has always received a theological emphasis based upon God’s covenant promise to His people: “I will be your God and the God of your children.” The family is just as important in Reformed circles today as it was a century ago. However, there have been changes. I agree with a former teacher of mine, Dr. Henry Holstege, Jr., Professor of Sociology at Calvin College, who wrote in 1972 that the American family is “not dying but is changing.” From Rev. Timmerman: The change which we see in the American family is the result of a number of things, some of which follow: 1. The adopting of the “American Dream” which makes certain material possessions necessities in­ stead of luxuries. This has often made it necessary for both parents to work at the cost of ignoring their children. 2. Economic conditions which force both parents to work. 3. The changing role of women in American society. 4. An increase in pre- and extra-marital sexual ac­ tivity. 5. An ever increasing downgrading of the impor­ tance and permanency of marriage.

Middleville, Michigan FoodJ3uyJJnes Weather A Big Factor in the Food We Eat The April food outlook contains almost as much weather news as food news. California has been battered by one storm after another and overall crop damage has not yet been determined. Wet fields have prevented the staggered plantings of vegetables and melons. This could cause major gaps in supplies of head lettuce, celery, broccoli, cauliflower and melons throughout spring and early summer. An earlier gap in lettuce supplies, which will result in higher prices, will oc­ cur from the middle to the end of April. Florida has a good crop of celery coming to market now and throughout most of April. The spring crop of red potatoes did not fare so well; yield has been cut and prices are high. Weather also shor­ tened the new crop of long white potatoes from California.

Timmerman: My thesis is that the family will survive as the basic unit in our society. However, there has been and will continue to be change. Some of this change will cause confusion and will result in problems in society which are the reflections of problems in the family. It is incumbent for the Christian community to stress that in regard to the family God has given us commandments that lead to certain obligations, duties and responsibilities. These obligations, duties and responsibilities at the least, mean sexual fulfillment within the marital state, a lifelong com­ mitment to one spouse, and the rearing of children in a home in which there is unselfish love. It is in this way that the wounds of the "Heritage of Hurt” can begin to be healed.

Travelers Spend Easter in Rome The theme “Easter in Rome’’ became a reality for the Middleville residents who traveled to Italy during spring break last week. Departing from Mid­ dleville on April 1, the group flew from Detroit to London and then on to Rome. The highlight of the 10-day trip was the Easter morning services in St. Peter’s Square. Jammed with tens of thousands of pilgrims, St. Peter s Square was a blend of numerous nationalities and banners all proclaiming their loyalty and love to Pope John Paul II. At 12:00 Pope John Paul step­ ped out onto the red velvet-covered balcony and greeted the rain-drenched crowd in Italian. Following this talk, he greeted the various nationalities of the world in their native language. Each time he greeted a nation, representatives from that company who were present in the square responded with shouts of joy. Time in Rome, Naples, Venice, Florence, Assissi, Ravenna and Venice was enjoyed and appreciated during the week of travel. Organized locally by Gerald and Regina Stein, this trip makes the fourth time in four years that local residents have spent spring break in Europe. Residents who participated this year, in addition to the Steins, were Mr. and Mrs.Rex Schad and Cin­ dy; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Corson and Annette; Mrs. Florence Fiala and her granddaughter Sue Arens from Hastings; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Landini from Sault Sts Marie. Plans for next year’s trip are now being con­ sidered. �Doing MORE...With LESS! _______ by lite staff of___________________________ THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS HOW TO KEEP YOUR KNIVES SHARP Your first, and most important, piece of knife-honing equipment is a proper whetstone. The best of such tools are called Arkansas oilstones, and they sell for anywhere from 1100 to 140.00. For roost oonprofessional purposes, the soft pearl-gray stones are best . and you should choose one that's at least an inch longer than the largest blade you want to sharpen. Once you've acquired your stone, you'll need to anchor it to a work surface to keep it from skating around while in use A C-ciamp will serve this purpose, or you can fashion a permanent nest’’ of nailed-down wood strips in which the whetstone can sit secure­ ly. If your stone comes packaged in a wooden box. you can simply cover the bottom of the container with Velcro brand fastener, or perhaps a thin sheet of urethane foam, to prevent the sharpener from sliding about. An oilstone will, of course, have to be oiled whenever it's used. Some people use mineral oil. a light machine lubncant (such as Three-In-Onel. or even water or you can pur­ chase honing oil When the stone is firmly secured, ladle on at least a full tablespoon of the oil. Aside from the need for a good stone and oil. there's only one other "secret" to knife sharpening . . . you must constantly maintain the proper angle between the stone and the blade. Here’s how to determine that " slant" and keep it: With a source of strong light positioned directly over your work surface, lay the blade flat across the stone and slowly turn the handle to lift the back edge As you do so. you 11 notice that the shadow cast on the stone by the thin tapered cutting edge of the blade begins to disappear When the small strip of shade vanishes, the edge is at the correct angle. Expert knifemakers sav the slope" should be between 20° and 30° (see Fig II. Now. hold the knife handle in your right hand and support the back edge of the blade with the fingers of the left (see Fig. 2). Starting at the far end of the stone, position the heel of the blade (which is the section near the handle) against the surface. Deter­ mine your angle, and firmly draw the cutting edge toward you as if you were trying to shave off a layer of stone. At the same time, move your hand to the right so the entire length of the blade trails down and across the honing surface As you approach the tip. raise the handle slightly to be sure the curved portion of the knife's point re­ mains in contact with your sharpening tool (see Fig. 3). With practice you'll develop a smooth, sweeping action with every pass After four or five of these strokes, repeat the process on the other side of the edge. Depending upon your degree of ambidexterity, you can either transfer your knife to the left hand and repeat the steps, or keep it in your right hand and push the blade away from you (see Fig. 4). As you proceed, stop every now and then to test the knife's sharpness. Once you get the hang of maintaining the proper angle, you'll be tempted to see just how sharp you can make the blade . . but this is a terrible mistake! Excessive honing will produce what is called a "wire edge".. . which tends to curl over on itself and thus is extremely weak.

Generally, they are serious attempts to address problems or needs perceived by the legislators themselves, constituents they represent or interest groups. A couple of weeks ago I described four such proposals-a sunset evaluation process, the termination of licensing boards for wat­ chmakers and massage parlor operators, a measure to monitor and restrict unfair state competition with private businesses, and tighter standards for candidates who are seeking to qualify for public financing of gubernatorial primary campaigns. Here are four other bills I am introducing in this new legislative session: Eliminating the “Voluntary Quit” Loophole. In 1980 the legislature addressed one of the biggest complaints employers had with Michigan’s unem­ ployment insurance system: the ability of workers who had quit their jobs voluntarily to collect unem­ ployment benefits. Now an employee* who has voluntarily quit work must take a new job and earn either $938 or seven times his or her weekly bene fits-and then be laid off-before collecting unemployment from the first employer. This change has largely stemmed the “volutary quit” problem, but one troublesome loophole remains. The quitter can claim to have worked-perhaps on yard work or house painting-for a friend or relative who does not pay unemployment taxes, and then get “laid off’ and collect unemployment insurance from the em­ ployer he or she voluntarily left. A bill I have in­ troduced would close that loophole by limiting a voluntary quitter s unemployment requaiihcation earnings to wages earned from established em­ ployers who pay unemployment taxes and are liable for jobless benefits. Raising the Usury Ceiling for Land Contracts on Mobile Homes. Recently the legislature extended the 11% maximum interest rate ceiling on land contracts used to finance the purchase of conventional homes. Had this step not been taken, the interest ceiling would have dropped to 7%-a level which is so unrealistic in today’s market that it wool have severely restricted the use of land contract finan­ cing. In assisting conventional home buyers and sellers, however, the legislature overlooked a similar problem for individuals who wish to use creative financing in transactions involving manufactured or ’mobile’’ homes. I am sponsoring a bill to raise the usury ceiling from 7% to 11% on those cases as well. Low-Interest Financing for Non-Profit Homes for the Aged. Because of a 1981 proposal to build a non-profit home for senior citizens in the 54th District, it came to my attention that such a project could not qualify for low-interest financing through the Michigan Hospital Finance Aauthority. To give non-profit nursing homes and homes for the aged the same op­ portunity for low-interest loans that for-profit homes already have through Economic Develop­ ment Corporations, I am re-introducing authorizing legislation in the House. Last year a similar measure I sponsored received House approval but died in the Senate. It is estimated that non-profit homes would borrow up to $21.5 million from the Hospital Authority over the next three years to finance state-certified renovations and im­ provements in facilities. Because there is a definite need for such projects, this time I hope the bill will Cgatch these Values! DEXATRIM ■■■ LISTERINE REGULAR 28’S, rgoFgj EXTRA STRENGTH 20’S OR CAFFEINE FREE 20’$ 32 0Z. USTERINE OLD SPICE PAOBTHUE move through the entire legislative process. Resolving Disputes Between Property Leasees and Railroad Companies. In the Village of Hopkins, a grain elevator operator has been leasing property adjacent to a railroad right-of-way, now abandoned. The Penn Central Railroad real estate division has offered to sell the property to the elevator owner at a price the operator believes is exhorbitant. If the elevator owner does not accept the deal, the railroad com­ pany will try to sell the property to any other in­ terested party, thus jeopardizing the elevator operation. Reportedly this kind of squeeze play is not unusual in cases where lumber yards, elevators, and other businesses have built facilities on leased property adjacent to railroad lines. To resolve such disputes equitably, I am sponsoring a bill that would allow the lessee to request mediation by the State Department of Transportation. To arrive at a fair price, the department would review three in­ dependent property appraisals financed by the railroad company and the lessee. This third-party settlement process is similar to a law adopted in Iowa. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP HILLEGONDS. CALL AC 517-373-0836.

The arguments against the bill are fairly clear. Some regard mandatory seat belt usage an in­ fringement on personal choice, while others view it as further government intrusion on our privacy. And, many find seat belts just plain bothersome, confining and generally uncomfortable to wear. Of course, a lot of people believe that you can be killed wearing a seat belt just as easily. However, the arguments I hear daily in favor of the bill are pretty convincing, too. In 1981, nearly 3,000 Michigan residents were killed in automobiles because they weren’t wearing seat belts. Another 200,000 were injured for the same reason. The Michigan Department of State Police also report that of all the traffic fatalities during the 1981 holiday weekends of Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day, not one of those killed was Some things never change because wearing a seat belt.

SORGHUM MOLASSES Scot Track The Caledonia Girls Varsity Track Team has just completed its fifth week of workouts in preparation for the upcoming dual meet season. After good showings in the Grand Rapids Junior College In­ vitational and at the Kentwood Indoor Relays, the girls are prepared for defending the 1982 OK Blue Co-Championship. The leadership for this year’s team will come from senior captains Laura Boot, Denise Coffey, Lynn Tolan and Cammy Walcott who have combined to score 940 Vi points in the past three years The girls first meet will be Tuesday when they host the Red Arrows from Lowell, who are picked to be a contender for the Tri-River Conference Cham­ pionship. On Thursday the Fighting Scots will host the Squires from Calvin Christian, a team that will feature a stable of outstanding sprinters. Then, on Friday, the Caledonia girls will team up with the Caledonia boys as they compete in the always en­ joyable Middleville coed Relays. Next week the girls will entertain the Saxons from Hastings on Monday before they begin the conference schedule on Wednesday with the Rebels of Lee. Probably the most talented team in the league this year will be Middleville, with many outstanding athletes returning this year, followed by Hudson­ ville with great field event people, hurdlers and sprinters. Caledonia girls will exhibit a fairly balan­ ced attack with a few outstanding individuals. Lee High will be improved this year with probably the premier athlete in the league in the form of Debbie Taylor. Comstock Park could be the surprise team this year, although numbers could hurt them. Hamilton will have good field event people and a good hurdler, while Byron Center and Kelloggsville will have young teams looking to surprise some teams this year.

Barn Fire, believed to have been started by lightning, completely destroyed a barn on Irving Road that belonged to Clarence Longstreet and was used by his son-in-law Art Smith. Firemen from Thomapple Township-Middleville, Caledonia and Hastings pumped over 25,000 gallons of water on the surrounding structures to contain the fire to the bam. Several cows were in the bam. but escaped in­ to an adjoining pasture and yard.

The couple plan to serve a fixed menu during the week with their specialty of chicken dinners on the weekend clouds passed over the area at about the time the fire was discovered about 5:30 p.m. last Wednesday afternoon. Longstreet had been in the bam, that was partially filled with hay in the upper part, about 15 minutes before the blaze was discovered. By the time firemen arrived on the scene, the entire struc­ ture was enveloped in flames. A nearby silo, con­ taining silage, was kept from burning. Smith used the bam for hay storage and housing young cattle and dry cows. His milking operation is done at the family farm on Moe Road. “Oklahoma*' is coming.

PHONE 795-^45 One of the sure signs of spring aside from pussy willows and daffodils is our All American sport of baseball. Baseball makes me think of long, lazy warm Sunday afternoons. I'm ready for one of those right now! What is it about baseball that makes me feel patriotic? I appreciate other sports and lend an interested ear However, when baseball is discussed I feel positively American. Perhaps it s our heritage. Baseball has been an admired and followed team sport for decades. Probably the reason that baseball impresses me so much is that I can actually under­ stand it. Ineligible receivers downfield and zone defenses are beyond me. I'm smug with satisfaction when discussing an exciting grand slam home run. I can relate! Many people can relate to baseball and that makes reading about it more enjoyable. The public library can accommodate many baseball fans. While looking up books for this column. I noticed several good baseball books. In fact, there are about three shelves devoted to books relating to baseball. This collection includes personal accounts, how to play books and baseball fact books. One of the best baseball life stories is about Tiger, Ron LeFlore. His book, Breakout by Ron IFlore and Jim Hawkins explains his extra-ordinary metamorphis from a prison con to a big league star. Other personal stories cover such greats as: Hank Aaron, Roy Campanella, Mickey Mantle. Babe Ruth and Pete Rose. Some are written for adults. Others aim for the student audience. Even elementary students enjoy checking out some of these if only to look at pictures. Baseball trivia buffs will be happy to Ikearn that there is a book compiled just for them: The Official Encyclopedia of Baseball by Tarkin, Thompson and Palmer. This volume includes information on everything from batting averages to maps of stadiums. Those fans who enjoy legends and anecdotes will appreciate The Baseball Reader edited by Charles Einstein. All of your favorite authors contribute to make this the best of baseball literature. This book is fun to read! Last summer, Roger Angell published his third baseball chronicle called Late Innings, A Baseball Companion. Covered in this book are the five seasons of 1977 through 1981, ending with the player’s strike. Angell relates some inside infor­ mation helping all his readers understand the game, the players, managers and owners. If you have children, perhaps now is a good time to begin a baseball appreciation campaign. After all, What’s more American? Perhaps, when they are grown they will remember long lazy Sundays of youth, listening (or watching, or playing) baseball games. Obviously the little ones are not prepared for adult baseball books. For them we have short fiction books that they will enjoy reading. Some suggestions are: Fleet-footed Florence by Marilyn Sachs and Jinx Oloue by Matt Christopher. Baseball is one tradition that ia uniquely American. Check out some baseball books. Find out how much fun the sport ia... or remember.

TK Senior, Bill Perry, Wins Design Contest Bill Perry, a senior at Thomapple Kellogg High, has taken first place in a statewide logo design con­ test. This competition is associated with Michigan's Future Problem Solving Problem. Bill’s task was to take three very different topics, extrasensory per­ ception, ocean communities and robotics, and somehow unite them. These three topics were studied by Future Problem Solvers across the state and country this year and are also the basis for a statewide scenario writing competition. Bill’s design will be on the cover of a booklet containing this year's winning scenarios. His logo consists of a large brain which leads into three compartments each displaying one of the topics. Leading down from the brain is a com­ plex arrangement of roots which spells out “Scenario.” Bill plans on attending Kendall School of Design in the fall where he will study illustration and graphic design. TK Yearbook Sponsors Needed Pre-arranged Funerals In recent years, there has been a greatly increased interest in pre-arranged funeral services.* People are realizing the need to record their wishes on funeral services for themselves. They recognize that this takes away the difficult burden of decision making later during the hour of need and assures the family of doing the right things within proper budgets. For some time, this funeral home has recognized the needs and desires of thinking persons to plan ahead. I have developed ways of assisting those who wish to make arrangements in advance. Our funeral home has quite a lot of families who have so recorded their plans and wishes with us. They appreciate the opportunity to make these wishes known. Most people have definite ideas about the ser­ vices they wish for themselves; specific details such as the minister, the music and scripture readings, flowers, costs, etc. They don't have to pre-plan their funerals, but they know it's a good feeling when it’s done and the family won't have to worry about it! There are three reasons to pre-plan your funeral Economy — You can save money when you pre­ plan by stipulating only as much in service and mer­ chandise as you wish. Personal Choices - You can choose your own clergyman, music, scripture and the kind of service, down to the smallest detail. Inner Security — It is a weight off your mind, knowing that your arrangements are complete, and the costs will not be a burden to your family In inrite you to visit or call about pre-planning your funeral service. There are no costs or obligations, and you don t even have to prepay your funeral to have your wishes made known Thornapple Kellogg parents and friends can help reduce the cost of the 1983 yearbook to our kids. You can extend your personal congratulations to the graduating seniors by purchasing one line of the patrons page in the yearbook for a $5.00 tax deduc­ tible donation.

Six starters are gone from last year’s conferen­ ce championship team. Two seniors, two juniors, five sophomores and one freshman will start this year. Senior Chris Noah will lead this year’s team. Chris has won conference championships at third and second singles. Last year he was the runner-up at the first singles pfosition and hopes to win the conference at the same position this year. Chris is one of the best singles players we have ever had at Mid­ dleville. We expect him to have a great season., Craig Mathiesen will play second singles this year. Despite the fact that this is Craig’s first year playing singles, we expect that he will nave a fine season. Craig is a fine tennis player and should show steady imnprovement as the season progresses. Chris Wmgeier has the third singles position at this time, but is being pushed by Todd Cour­ ts. Both players had fine seasons last year as doubles players. A great deal of our success this year will depend on how well these two ad­ just to the singles court. All doubles teams are new this year. None have had varsity experience, but we see plenty of potential in these newcomers. Fred and Eric Hannapel will hold down the first doubles position for the first few matches. These two are improving fast, so don’t be sur­ prised to see them playing some singles before the year is over. Rolfe Timmerman and Jim Will have the second doubles position. Both players have shown good improvement and after a few mat­ ches they will surprise some people. Jon Scott and Jim Brotherton will play third doubles this year. Both are eager to play their first varsity match. This is another key position for us. If these two continue to im­ prove at a good pace, they will have their fair share of wins. Hudsonville is a heavy favorite this year. Caledonia, Hamilton and Kelloggsville all have a good number of players back from last year and should be very strong. CLAY HILLS With WRETHAMcNEE David Cutler and family were Sunday evening supper guests of mother and dad, Harold and Bea Cutler. The VanMalsen family were Sunday dinner guests of their daughter Wendy in Detroit. Bea Cutler was hostess to our Busy Bee Club Thursday afternoon. Twelve members and two visitors were present. David Fields called on his parents, Lloyd and Orpha Duindas Saturday afternoon. Our snowstorm Friday and Saturday night was a little surprise. Not too bad. but we don’t need any more. They say in 1961 we had a snowstorm on April 17. How about that. We were to Fem Polands for dinner and had to put chains on the car to get home. ____________________________ THURSDAY. APRIL 21,1983 Trojan Track Defeat Delton 79.5 — 42.5 by Di Walton Last Tuesday night. April 12, the weather wasn't cold enough to discourage the Trojan girls track team. In a home meet against Delton, the young team took a tremendous lead ending with a score of 79.5 points to Delton's 42.5. Though just returning from spring break a little out of shape, the girls gave Delton some tough com­ petition. achieving ten firsts, five seconds and ten third places. When asked his opinion of the young group of thinclads, coach Tony McLain had this to say: “It's a young team, but a veteran team that shows extremely good depth. Right now we re being hampered by the weather to find out how good we really are.’’ And that is exactly how they looked out on the track running against Delton.

Kevin Groendal won both the high hurdle* and low hurdles in the LoweU meet. Soundly Defeat Lowell The Caledonia Fighting Scot Track team opened the 1983 dual meet season with a solid 110-22 vic­ tory over the LoweU Red Arrows. The Scots had exceUent performances throughout the field events and were particularly strong in the distance races as they captured 15 of the 16 first place ribbons. The Red Arrows only first was in the long jump. The Scots again showed good team depth as they won all three relays, slammed the discus and low hurdles, and captured first and second in seven other events. Scots with very good first meet performances were Todd ‘Marsman with a 6'6” in the high jump; Kevin Groendal with a double win in the hurdles; Paul Stuefen with firsts in both short sprint races, and Dave Rackow with impressive runs in the mile and 2-mile. Top point scorers for the Scots were Paul Stuefen 12Vi, S<x>tt FUearman 10, Kevin Groendal 10, Dave Rackow 10 and Todd Marsman 8. Complete meet results.

Tom and I had an interesting time last week when we took one of Hal Sawyer’s bus trips to Washington D.C. Left Tuesday night and got home Sunday morning (only one hour late because of the blizzard in eastern Michigan). The trip was a busy and fun time that is now a kaleidoscope in our minds of dazzling monuments, steff legs from sitting in a bus. colorful blossoms and flowers, sore feet, a play at the Kennedy Center, the I wo Jima memorial (Tom was there when it happened), pandas at the zoo - and the close feeling that can come when a group of strangers share the same experiences for four days.

APRIL 28.1983 At Your Public Library Local Author's Book Adds to History Chain A local author and her unde recently collaborated on the publication of a new book that will bring memories to many folks who were brought up in rural America in the early 1900's. M. Edna Townsend, a teacher and administrator at Thomapple Kellogg School for 23 years and now retired, and her unde from Pennsylvania, H. H. Hummel, have written Grandpa's Chain. Its stories are about real people and their experiences on a Darke County, Ohio, farm, and is a companion to a book written by Mrs. Townsend, Grandma's Chain. Both books present selected historical events that are links in a chain which connect the technological and educational practices of the early 1900’s to present day living. Grandma's Chain is a story about the Cobb School on Wood School Road, while Grandpa's Chain features drawings and maps done by Mr. Hummel that further reader comprehension. Mrs. Townsend also has a new series of Beginning Readers Books that has four books in the set. The books are stories about different bugs looking for and finding new homes. "Parent and child can share these books by using the reading activities listed on the book covers," said Mrs. Townsend. Barbara Olsen, a local resident, has illustrated the series with delightful whimsical characters. The author has exhibited her books at various conferences and has been invited to be a supplier for RIF (Reading Is Fundamental). To participate in this program, Townsend developed a catalog listing 17 items now available and new books to be published by 1984. Townsend is a native of Darke County, Ohio: graduated from Greenville High School; attended Miami University; earned B.A. and M.A. degrees from WMU and participated in accredited program Right to Read from MSU. Her professional career included 29*/« years of teaching and administration in Ohio and Michigan schools. She has been associated with IRA Gifted and Talented Council, MRA (Historian for 6 years). Presently, the author spends her time writing, traveling with her husband, Charles; and making guest appearances as a lecturer and author. H. H. Hummel is a native of Darke County, Ohio; graduated from Jackson, Ohio High School, atten­ ded Ohio State University, University of Detroit; and participated in Rackham foundation Fellowship at U.M. His engineering career has led to many contributions in the aerospace field. He has been associated with the Philadelphia Engineers Club, whose sponsor was George Washington, and he is listed in Who’s Who in Engineering 1968. He presently spends his winters in Florida and sum­ mers in Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Swimwear offers little coverage, especially when you are trying to conceal excess pounds. If you start now. perhaps by June you can enjoy a slim, toned physique. Most experts agree that a sensible com­ bination of diet and exercise produces the best results. The problem is finding a program that is easy, quick and not impossible to maintain. Because of different eating habits and lifestyles, a diet is tailored for one group of people but may not suit another. In the past few months the library has pur­ chased many new diet books. I d like to share with you a little information on a selected few. Maybe these will offer the added incentive needed. You sure will be proud of yourself this summer. One of the best current sources of diet recipes and suggestions is the book entitled Just What ths Doc­ tor Ordered by Harriet Wilinsky Goodman and Barbara Morse. This volume includes food plans for low calorie, diabetic, low-fat, low cholesterol, low sodium, bland, high fiber and renal diets. If you are trying to accommodate more than one kind of a diet in your household this book is the answer. Another recent publication that explains a weight loss program is Jeanne Jones' Food Lovers Diet. In­ cluded in this book are recipes, food lists and menus for entertaining. She recommends a healthful at­ titude, and a low calorie lifestyle. It even looks easy. Occasionally special diets appear for those people with specific dietary restrictions. These diet books may be useful to the general population because they outline good eating habits. For example, Mary Jane Finsand has written a new book entitled Diabetic Candy, Cookie and Dessert Cookbook. Anyone could benefit from these low-sugar recipes, especially if you are trying to reduce. Another such book is the Milk-Free Diet Cookbook by Jane Zukin. Weight Watcher programs have been a source of inspiration and reinforcement for those who gain weight easily. There have been many weight wat­ cher cookbooks. The new one is Weight Watchers Food Plan Diet Cookbook by Jean Niditch. Calories, nutritional value and easy to follow menus can be found in this book. If it wasn’t stated in black and white I’d have a hard time believing one could lose weight on this program. The food sounds very ap­ petizing. Some of us (me included) need some inspiration in the exercise department. After a long winter with little physical activity (no snow - right?) I’m ready for some fun exercise. In his book Never^Say-Diet, Richard Simmons suggests some sensible exercises as well as diet recipes and tips on how to think slim. This book is written in the same bubbly style as his TV program. It might be the book that could change your attitude. I mentioned that easiest weight loss occurs when you reduce caloric intake and exercise. An excellent source of exercise information is The Aerobics Program for Total Well Being by Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper. This book includes tips on exercise, diet and emotional balance. Now you know where to get information and in­ spiration. I’ll be looking for you on the beach in June.

Middleville. Michigan THURSDAY, APRIL 28,1983 several school districts in this state, having the flexibility to lengthen the school day and decrease the number of days would be ideal for districts covering a large geographical area with a relatively small enrollment. With 105 school districts listed as potentially distressed in our state, we need to look for ideas that will reduce costs without affecting the quality of education. This is one idea that I believe is worth investigating. Job Bills Introduced Four Day School Week Option A package of labor-related bills has been in­ troduced in the House of Representatives that could substantially improve Michigan's business climate, and aid in the creation of new jobs for unemployed construction workers. Two of these bills that I sup­ port deal with prevailing wage legislation that par­ ticularly affects projects undertaken by economic development corporations, state building programs and school construction. At the present time, any building project that in­ volves state funds, or funds received from the sale of bonds through economic development corporations, must require that the workers on that project be paid union scale wages. By eliminating such language in our laws, con­ struction costs would drop, more jobs could be created, and we could get more people back to work. Too many projects are being cancelled because labor costs are far too high. Reducing those costs, which are actually artifically determined by the state, would ease many of Michigan’s chronic economic problems. Under legislation proposed by two of my colleagues, Michigan schools could institute 4-day work weeks, provided they reach a minimum of 900 instructional hours each year. The bill would allow local school districts the option of choosing the length of their school years in either days or hours — current State law requires schools to be in session 180 days each year. I believe schools could realize a substantial cost savings under such a plan. In districts where this system has been established, there have been dramatic savings in gasoline costs and maintenance expenses for school buses, as well as significant utility cost reductions. In the majority of districts where this concept has been tried, schools go from a 6-hour day to a 7 ‘/i hour day for a total of 30 hours of weekly instruction. In 12 Colorado districts on a 4New Drunk Driving Law day week, the program was acceptable to a vast A Michigan man has had his driver's license majority of the parents, teachers and students, and. the achievement levels were comparable to students suspended for life under the State’s new drunk driving law.

Supervisor Boysen called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. Present; Boysen, Getty, Rock, McKeown. Kenyon. Abesne: None. A special meeting was called for the purpose of amending a motion made at the regular Board meeting of April 11, 1983, relative to the collection of summer school taxes, and any other business to come before the Board. Boysen moved, supported by McKeown, to amend the motion made at the regular Board meeting held April 11. 1983 to read as follows: Thomapple Township agrees to collect 50% of the total school property taxes for 1983 as certified by the School Districts of Thomapple Kellogg and Caledonia Community, for the sum of 32.25 per par­ cel, payable to Thomapple Township by the respec­ tive school districts. The aggregate amount for the collection will not exceed the total amount as agreed upon with the Barry County Treasurer and the respective School Districts. The Township also waives any administration fee for the collection of these 1983 taxes. This agreement subject to the ac­ ceptance and approval of the respective Boards of Education or their authorized representatives. Fur­ ther, the Township also would pay the Township representative a fee of $1.25 per parcel for each processed. Yeas - Boysen. Getty. McKeown. Kenyon. Abstain. Rock. Motion carried.

Michigan PAGE FOUR STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STA TE REPRESENTATIVE. 54th DISTRICT The tasks of organizing the new legislature, orien­ ting the large number of first-term members, and wrestling with the state's fiscal crisis dominated the first three months of this session. Still the House approved several legislative measures. Most of these bills sparked little or no controversy. Here’s how I voted: Enforcement Powers for Township Officers. I supported a five-bill package that: adds “township police" to the definition of "police officer” in the Michigan vehicle code; gives township police of­ ficers the authority to enforce the legal drinking age, provisions of the Liquor Contro. Act, and the rules of the Liquor Control Commission; and authorizes township police to pursue, arrest and detain a person who has committed, or is suspected of committing, a crime or civil infraction, or who has escaped from jail or prison. Common Trust Funds for Savings and Loans. The House added savings and loans and whollyowned bank subsidiaries to the list of financial in­ stitutions that are authorized to pool investor deposits in common trust funds in order to provide a higher yield than the investors could receive in­ dividually. I voted Yes. Enabling Home Improvement Financing. Under current law home improvement contractors can negotiate installment loand with their customers and sell those contracts to financial institutions. However, the maximum intrest rate allowed for in­ stallment contracts has been 14.5%, a ceiling which in today’s market has discouraged financial in­ stitutions from doing business with home im­ provement contractors. I voted in favor of raising the allowable interest ceiling to 16.4% which should help to make more loans available for home im­ provements. Maintaining an Investment in Police Cadets. Presently local police departments can train police cadets for up to four years, after which the cadets must be promoted to the position of police officer or be terminated from the program. Hard economic times have resulted in fewer police officer positions, and some cities are losing cadets who have been trained at considerable expense. I supported a measure which will extend the maximum groomiung time for cadets to six years. This change will be in effect until mid-1985, when cities hope to have more available positions for qualified cadets. Interim Cash Bond. This bill would expand the authority of police officers to accept a cash bond at the scene of an arrest involving a misdemeanor, thereby consuming less officer time and taxpayer money than otherwise would be spent in transpor­ ting persons to a police station or jail. I voted yes. Preserving State Aid to Schools in Development Districts. Under state law downtown development districts use a portion of downtown property tax revenues to help finance improvement plans. The loss of local property tax revenue to the schools, however, also causes a reduction of general school aid from the state. I voted for a bill that will remain the level of aid from the state in such cases, so schools that are affected by development projects are not penalized twice. Extending Usury Ceilings on Land Contracts. Land contract financing would have come to a grin­ ding halt on March 1, 1983, had the Ugislature allowed the interest rate ceiling to drop\o 7%. I voted for a continuation of the 11% usury limit'on land contracts and opposed an effort that would have allowed the state to override less restrictive fedeal usury regulations. De-Regulating Bottle Collectors. I supported a bill permitting collectors of ceramic commemorative bottles containing liquors to sell or trade such bot­ tles to other collectors without having to be licensed under the Liquor Control Act. Helping Displaced Homemakers. This measure continues for two years the program authorizing state funding support for centers such as the Ottawa/Allegan Center for Women in Transition. The bill also allows women with dependent children in the home to qualify foir counseling and training assistance when they are forced by widowhood or divorce to move from the homemaker to financial provider role. I co-sponsored this measure and voted yes. Cutting Bureaucracy. Last year lawmakers voted to abolish the Municipal Finance Commission. This year I supported legislation that consolidated the authority over the sale of local government and school district bonds and notes within the Depar­ tment of Treasury. The package also allows Treasury to waive prior approval of local debt finan­ cing if certain conditions, including good local fiscal management histories, are met. Good Samaritan Protection. This bill grants im­ munity from dvil liability to firms or individuals who. at the request of the fire marshal, provide assistance during an emergency involving the han­ dling, transportation, or storage of hazardous sub­ stances. However, immunity would not be granted if damages resulted from gross negligence or wilful misconduct. I voted yes. Clarifying School Bidding Procedures. In 1982 a bill was enacted that requires school districts to adopt policies governing the purchase of supplies, materials and equipment. Corrective legislation this year deletes the unintended requirements that school districts obtain competitive bids for “non­ teaching services” that already are provided by in­ termediate school districts. My vote: Yes. License instead of Bail. I supported a three-bill package that authorizes the court to receive a per­ son’s driver’s license as bond in cases involving misdemeanors or ordinance violations. In turn the court will give the defendant a receipt to drive under the same terms as his or her license until the trial date. One court employing this system has found that it significantly reduces the “no-show” rate at trials. Helping to Enforce the Subdivision Control Act. State law limits the number of times a parcel of property can be split into lots and sold. Although the act contains penalties for violators, it is difficult to enforce because illegal land sales often go unrecorded. I supported a bill that will require local assessors who find possible violations to report them to the State Plat office and County Prosecutor before the plat section is split for tax assessment purposes. State Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board. So far taxpayers have chosen to contribute a total of $72,300 in tax refunds for child abuse prevention programs under the check-off system enacted by the legislature last year. I voted for a bill which releases that money to the state board so that it can begin to allocate monies for local projects. Making Venture Capital Available. I supported a bill allowing individuals to make loans to unincor­ porated business at an annual interest rate of 15%. Without this measure the maximum interest rate allowed would have dropped to 7%, a level that would discourage individuals from making high-risk loans to small, innovative businesses that need ven­ ture capital. Expediting Adoptions. Under this measure, the time allowed for the filing of petitions to rehear a Juvenile Court order terminating parental rights would be reduced from 90 to 20 days. Expediting the appeals process for parents will reduce the time that children must spend in foster care before adop­ tion proceedings can begin, or, in some cases, before they are returned home. My vote: Yes. Trying to prevent Domestic Violence. Current law allows the warrentless arrest of a person who has violated an injunctive order not to assault his or her spouse or partner in a domestic dispute. To help avoid cases of domestic violence. I voted for an amendment to the law that will also allow the warrantless arrest of a person who is under a court injunction not to enter the partner’s househols. Jobs with Peace. In a hotly-debated. 60-44 vote, the House adopted a resolution commemorating April 10-16 as “Jobs With Peace Week.” This statement decried the high cost of wasteful military expenditures and the nuclear arms build-up at the expense of providing needed funds for educational and human services programs. While I did not agree entirely with the wording of the resolution, I voted for its intent: To make a statement that human suf­ fering would be alleviated if all nations worked in good faith to end the escalating arms race. Income Tax Hike. I believe that a temporary tax hike combined with further budget cuts is necessary to resolve this year's $800 million budget deficit. However, the indefinite 38% income tax increase passed by the House and the four-year plan ap­ proved by the Senate were excessive. I voted no. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP. HILLEGONDS.

To start the unit, the students must do research on three countries, one of which will be the final destination. The place chosen from the three is then depicted on a map. The starting place is Grand Rapids. The student must research into his own background to obtain information for filing a passport application. Some students brought their birth certificates and passports to school to share with other classmates. In math class the students learned to order from a catalog, write checks, and balance a check book. The students worked in and visited as tourists, a in the service New tread design and steel-belted construction for traction, mileage and long wear Brian J. Baker Navy Seaman Recruit Brian J.

During the 8-week training cycle, he studied general military subjects designed to prepare for further academic and on-the-job training. Included in studies were seamanship, close order drill, Naval History and first aid. as tow as MICHELE CHRISSMAN greeted patients from the doctor's office. JOEY LEWIS AND DON BRITTEN at the Health Dept. health department, travel bureau, photo shop, doc­ tor’s office, courthouse, catalog store and bank. The unit gave the students experience in organization of work, managing people, receiving and depositing money. The studentrs felt they en­ joyed being workers more than being tourists. During the five years of using this unit, many revisions, deletions and additions have been made. We believe the students gained many worthwhile insights for living in the modem world.

The an­ nouncement was made by Sharon Schondelmayer, volunteer chairperson for the 1983 Bike-a-thon. The course will begin with registration at the Thomapple Kellogg High School parking lot and will run for 2. 4 and 6 miles. A participant may com­ plete the course as many times as he wishes. The event is open to all persons who obtain prior spon­ sorship for at least 10< per mile. A person may get as many sponsors as he can. All proceeds will go to benefit children stricken with Cystic Fibrosis. An official CF Sweat band Set will be awarded to all those who bring in S25-S49: a summer jersey to those turning in S50-S99, and both the Sweatband set and Summer Jersey to those turning in $100 or more. All participants will receive an iron-on tran­ sfer. Cystic Fibrosis is a terminal, genetic disease which affects the lungs and digestive system of children. One in 20 persons (over 400,000 Michigan­ ders) are carriers of the recessive CF gene. Research has increased the life expectancy of CF children by more than 16 years in the past 17 years of activity. Anyone wishing to participate in this project should contact Sharon at 795-3088 for further details and registration forms.

APRIL 28.1983 Spring Food Supplies April and March showers will bring gaps in fresh vegetable supplies throughout May and June. Statewide plantings of six commodities for spring harvest declined 16 percent, according to the California Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. The most serious supply gaps will occur in late May and early June. Vegetable crops affected most include all varieties of head and leaf lettuce, spinach and other leafy vegetables, asparagus, broccoki. cauliflower and celery. Prices for these vegetables will be higher kand the quality will generally be lower throughout the shortage. Reduced supplies of salad vegetables (cucumbers, green bell peppers and tomatoes, as well as lettuce and other greens) will be especially pronounced throughout May. (Tomato plantings for processing will largely result in a delayed harvest rather than a short crop.) Salad onions are plentiful and more and more radishes are becoming available. Spring potato production is estimated to be 13 percent below last year. Prices have already advan­ ced twice. Declining supplies have also raised the price of fresh cabbage. Carrots and cooking onions remain in plentiful supply. Most of our carrots come from California, where growing conditions produce carrots that generally are sweeter than those grown elsewhere. May is the single largest month for fresh strawberries. To date, Florida has been supplying the bulk of them, but California now becomes the chief source. The rains in California have not ap­ preciably shortened the strawberry crop. Over one million packages will be shipped per week throughout May. Look for many features on strawberries during the month. Fruit crops damaged in California include cling peaches and apricots, with apricots being hit the hardest. Many canners expect to run out of apricots before the fall canning season. Fresh fruit lovers will have apples, navel oranges and a variety of grapes to munch on this month. By the middle of May you can add California nec­ tarines, Southern peaches and early blueberries from North Carolina. Meat prices have almost settled out from the post-Easter volatility experienced each spring. Cat­ tle on feed are down by 10 to 12% from last year, but the number of animals coming to market has been higher. This leads analysts to anticipate beef will be in short supply by the end of spring or early sum­ mer. The shortage this year will be more acute than usual because there is less beef in the pipeline. More hogs are being produced and carcass prices have dropped significantly. Retail pork prices have about bottomed out for the foreseeable future. (Hog producers have not increased production enough to bring about even lower retail prices.) Egg prices remain substantially below last year's levels. Frozen orange juice concentrate is another bargain this year. World sugar prices may be moving up. Although recent dumping by the Dominican Republic depressed prices, sugar market authorities feel this is temporary. The high trade value of the dollar plus good crops abroad have led to lower prices for Spanish olives and coffee. Expanded Nutrition Program Offered by Kent Co. Extension Helping limited income homemakers to feed their families nutritious and low cost meals is the task of the MSU Expanded Nutrition Program. In Kent County, six paraprofessionals work with homemakers in their homes one-to-one or in small groups to teach them about nutrition and food preparation. Visits are planned with the homemaker -at her convenience, usually on a weekly basis. For example, at one meeting they might discuss milk and milk products; the nutrients these foods contain and why they are important to us; and the number of times these foods should be eaten a day. They would also talk about she/he could cut costs on these foods and then would prepare a low cost food item. The nutrition paraprofessional would at other visits discuss other foods with the homemaker, help her/him with planning menus and possibly even take her/him comparison shopping. If you are trying to cut food costs some suggestions the paraprofessionals would give you would include using non-fat dried milk for cooking and drinking. If you are worried about your family liking it, try mixing it with equal proportions of whole milk and make sure it is well chilled. You’ll be surprised, they won’t know the difference between that and 2% milk. Also shop for store or unbranded items, store specials and use any coupons you have. Dried beans and peas can be used as low cost sub­ stitutes for meat. Such dishes as bean soup; beans and rice; and tostados with refried beans can help stretch your food dollar. Egg dishes such as omelets can also be served as a substitute for meat. An adult, teen and child only need to eat about 4-5 oz. of meat or meat substitutes (dried beans and peas, eggs, peanut butter) a day. Most Americans often consume that at one meal. Just watching the size of servings, especially meats, can help to cut costs. These are only some of the ideas the program shares with homemakers. If you are a homemaker with young children and on a limited income and would like information about the Expanded Nutrition Program, you can call the Kent County Cooperative Extension office at 774-3265. tk school menus "Italian Specialties WihilM 120 “E.‘‘.Maili Street (^liddleville.’Mi. -«•••• • • • • • ••Call: 795-7<S44 fbr Takeout Week of May 2 TK High / Middle School Menu Monday: Fishwiches w/wo cheese, corn, pears, milk Tuesday: Pizzaburgers, sweet potatoes or salad, peaches, milk.

Scratch Resistant Plastic Lenses Plastic lenses have long been known for being more impact resistant and lighter in weight than a glass lens. However, the single most known disad­ vantage is their susceptibility to scratching. This is the reason most patients tend to shy away from them. Within the last five years, special coatings have been designed for plastic lenses to render them scratch resistant. (Nothing is scratch proof.) However, these coatings also have their shor­ tcomings. In most cases the coating is on the front surface of the lens with the back surface left un­ treated. This guards the lens from being set down on the lenses themselves. Yet many scratches in a plastic lens are due to the manner in which they are cleaned, thus a lens will be scratched on the back surface. Some coatings have been developed for both sur­ faces. This is generally the best way to protect a plastic lens. Problems arise when a patient wants a tint on the lens. This coating hardens the surface of the plastic lens such that it will not absorb the dye and therefore cannot be tinted. The important point to remember is that all len­ ses can be scratched whether glass or plastic, coated or not. Scratch resistant does not mean scratch proof and caution should be exercised when cleaning any lenses.

All were hoping that the weather was going to stay warm and sunny this time. The campsite was located near Dowling, cleaned up by Max Carroll and Derek Kidder before the others arrived. The property is owned by Gene Kidder's inlaws. The camp was put in order Friday night and sack lunches were the menu for the evening meal. Saturday was underway at 6:00 a.m. with the leaders doing the cooking for the day. The menu was french toast, sausage, lunchmeat, vegetable soup and eight fish. The fish were caught by hand by some of the scouts on one of the hiking and fishing trips during the day. The weather did stay nice, so the Scouts enjoyed several hikes. Saturday evening the scouts invited the owners of the property over for apple cobbler . Jim Carroll visited the campsite also. He was unable to join the scouts because of an illness in the family. Sunday morning started at 6:30 (don’t know if they had clocks set ahead or not!). Eggs and sausage were cooked, then the scouts broke camp and headed home. The Scouts thank all who donated papers in the April 9 paper drive and ask that you keep saving papers for them. Get Well Wishes from Troop 65 yo Scoutmaster Pete Hernandez, who has missed a couple of meetings and the campout because of back problems. Hope you feel better and are back with the Scouts soon.

The organization Recycling in Barry County appreciates area government’s sup­ port. This is an opportunity to learn more about household recycling and how we can each par­ ticipate. Americans produce approximately 148 million tons of solid waste annually. Barry County produces about 102.7 tons per day.This amounts to about pounds a day for each individual. It is estimated that 13.4% of the solid waste now landfilld in Bairy County could be removed from the waste stream and recycled. Recycling prevents pollution, extends landfills life, saves disposal costs and preserves natural resources, energy and raw materials. Improper disposal of used crankcase oil creates serious risks of contamination of air, water and soil with hazar­ dous substances such as lead.By recycling used oil we can concerve fuel and protect the environment. Using recycled steel reduces air pollution during manufacturing by 86%, water pollution by 76% and eliminated 40% of the water normally consumed in the process. Recycled materials are substituted for natural (Continued on Page 11) TK Boosters to Elect Officers Next Monday There will be a TK Booster meeting on Monday, May 9, 7:30 p.m. in the Middle School Library.

When his Fighting Scot thindads defeated Byron Center on April 27, it was the fiftieth consecutive dual track meet victory under his coaching. According to Lon­ nie D. Lowery, Assistant Director of the Michigan High School Athletic Association, this eclipses the oldest record on file of 36 by West Ottawa for boys track consecutive dual meet victories. Last Thursday the school had a surprise congratulatory reception for Soder­ man, and he is shown above (right) looking at a plaque he received. On the left is Joe Zomerli, the girls’ track coach, who helped arrange the reception.

MAY 5.1983 At Your Public Library By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistant Gardening Made Easy For various reasons, Americans have returned to the lost of art of raising one's own food. Some people grow their own food in an effort to reduce their food budget. Others are disappointed in the quality of food available in supermarkets. In the name of taste, texture and nutrition, they have once again become farmers. Still others have the impulse to see things grow. Regardless of the reasons, gardening can be an enjoyable, satisfying pastime. I always feel self-sufficient and resourceful after raising a garden. Gardening is easy. All you need are tools, seeds, water, a small chunk of land and patience. Hopefully you will consult some of the following books should you need advice or instruction. I’m going to concentrate this column on vegetable and fruit gardening. In another column I 'll provide titles for flower gardeners. Obviously, everyone is not interested in growing the same fruits and vegetables. If. however, you are a novice gardener, a basic book including instruc­ tions for planting, watering, soil preparation and harvesting is necessary.The Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening edited by J.I. Rodale is such a book. The topics are listed in alphabetical order so you can flip directly to those areas and get answers to your questions. Michael Kressy provides another good basic book: How to Orow Your Own Vegetables. His approach is different from the en­ cyclopedia's. He begins by explaining tools needed, time table for planting, preparing the soil, planting seeds, how to get rid of bugs and disease, and ends with descrptions of mature vegetables ready for harvest. All gardeners would benefit from reading this book - cover to cover. Unfortunately not all of us have available land in which to grow vegetables. People who live in cities or apartments need not give up their aspirations to garden. All About Vegetables edited by Walter Doty and The Suburban Farmers Handbook by Jack Kramer offer suggestions to those with limited areas to grow things. They explain how patios, balconies and small backyards may be utilized to produce vegetables. Now what excuse do you have? Perhaps some of you are old hands at raising vegetables. Instead of raising common vegetables, try something different. Gourmet Gardening by Hamilton Tyler contributes unique recipes using vegetables that he tells you how to grow. Be adven­ turous. Despite how inventive and original you become with your garden, there is one fruit/vegetable (I’m not going to argue that one) that you will want to grow. That is the tomato. How many other vegetables may be stewed, pureed, eaten raw. stuf­ fed, fried, made into sauce, juice and soup and still taste good? The Great American Tomato Book by Robert Hendrickson gives us a guide to growing and using tomatoes. If you are curious as to what your plants will mature into, inspect the Complete Book of Fruits and Vegetables by Brachini, Corbetta and Pistoia. The illustrations are magnificent! The vegetables I grow never quite look as good as these pictures but I’m happy to report that I can tell they are the same vegetables. If you are still hesitant about your ability to grow vegetables, check out one of these books. Start small. As you gain expertise, experiment with more vegetables. In my estimation, the rewards sure ex­ ceed the time spent. Leighton United Methodist Hosts Mother-Daughter Banquet Leighton United Methodist Church held their an­ nual Mother-Daughter banquet on April 29 with 175 in attendance Sally Smith and daughter Becky of Wacousta, Michigan presented the program of meaningful chalk talks and delightful mother-daughter duets.

Out of fifteen track and field events, placing first in twelve of them is quite an excep­ tional job; and defeating a team by nearly three times as many points could be considered phenomenal.

This might interfere temporarily with some of the impor­ tant normal actions of this vital organ, which num­ ber 525 functions. Generally, the liver is not directly irritated or injured by contact with the greatly diluted alcohol which reaches it after even heavy drinking. But prolonged heavy drinking is likely to lead to serious liver disease. Cirrhosis of the liver is eight times more common among alcoholics than among the general population. Liver cells are con­ stantly regenerating themselves. Cirrhosis occurs when an outside agent, e.g. heavy alcohol ingestion over a long period of time and chronically poor dietary habits, causes liver cells to die and prevents VILLAGE BEAUTY NOOK featuring Complete Styling for Men and Women a Name brand products sold • • • • Ear piercing Eyebrow arching Manicures plus sculptured nails Free haircuts for our customers ’ children under 3 years 1 Phone 891-1591 134 E.

VILLAGE of MIDDLEVILLE OFFICIAL COUNCIL MINUTES Sexual activity - The seeming stimulation of sex activity by drinking is not caused by any effect of alcohol on the sex glands. It results from the action of alcohol in putting to sleep that part of the brain which controls certain kinds of behavior. Very large amounts of alcohol reduce sex activity in the same way as they lessen all activity - by making the drunken man/woman unable to carry out planned actions, or by putting him/her to sleep. In other words, when inhibitions are lowered, which causes an initial stimulant effect, the desire for sexual ac­ tivity may be increased. However, after several hours of drinking, the depressant effect of the alcohol will decrease desire and induce sleep.

Nowadays, to many that is a process which takes too long. They try to establish community confidence quickly by public relations techniques — “I am a good fellow because it says so right here in my publicity.” But con­ fidence lasts only as long as it is backed by real service, fair dealing and a sincere feeling for those in bereavement. Have we achieved that kind of trust and con­ fidence? That is for those who have used our services to say and there is only one meaningful way for them to say it. With deep feelings of gratitude, we note that they have done so. St. Paul Lutheran Church MISSOURI SYNOD Kraft Ave & 84th St. * Caledonia, Michigan E A Schomberg.

Recycling Month (Continued from Pg. 1) resources during the manufacturing process thus decreasing the amount of raw materials required for production. Because recycled glass and metal melt at a lower temperature the amount of energy required for the manufacturing process can be reduced by up to 40% for glass, 25% for steel (tin cans) and 95% for aluminum. What to do with our waste is becoming a national problem that can begin to be solved through the ef­ forts of local citizens. The ketchup bottle you threw out ten or twenty years ago still sits somewhere in some landfill. It is the individual’s responsibility to choose whether his/her waste becomes a resource (through recycling) or goes into the waste stream. Get involved in Recycling Month and commit your­ self to recycle at least one type of waste material this month! Household recycling is available to area residents at the following locations: Caledonia Foods parking lot on M-37 (newspapers, glass, metal, and plastic milk jugs); behind the Middle Mart Party Store on M-37 in Middleville (glass and metal only) and the new site at the fire station parking lot in Hastings (metal and glass only). To prepare materials simply wash out glass bottles and jars, remove metal caps and sort by color at recycling site (clear, brown and green only). Wash metal food cans, remove labels, open both ends and flatten. Drain used oil into a reusable container such as a plastic milk jug and take it to any of the local gas stations displaying a black and yellow “Recycle Used Oil Here’’ sign.

Michigan PRAIRIE SKETCHES With LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE The end of April and Mother's Day approaching brings to mind that it’s ten years now since our mom, Jennie Ruiter, left us for a better place. Don't know if I could say “we remember her daily” ... it would be more approproate to say that her memory, her life and example are a part of what we, her children, are. Eight of her twelve children remain, and we remember with love. Judy Harrison attended a bridal shower honoring Lisa LaFontsee Saturday afternoon. The Van Rhees went to South Christian High Saturday morning to hear the band play at District Festival. In the evening they went out to eat in honor of Jodi’s birthday. Saturday evening guests at the Dave Enders home were Tom and Jo Vanderwoude and family of Freeport, Dave’s folks the Harold Enders, and Drain Petersen. Don and Kay Link had their grandchildren Keith and Dave over the weekend. Thursday night supper guests at the Fred Steiner home were our sisters, Harley and Trudy Truax of Wayland and Bob and Stell Wittenkeller of Bur­ bank, Ilinois. After supper, others of the family came for dessert and to visit with the Illinois folks. Janette had other commitments this week and didn't call for news, so it was nice for me to visit with some of you I don’t get to talk with often ....(even if you didn't have any news! Kathy Bracy has been kept right at home the past few weeks since son Terry had a pretty severe case of chicken pox....a souvenir of spring break. Mike and Katy Bremer, Brett and Kelly, visited her mom in Muskegon on Monday. Jack and Jerry Spencer visited with their son Dave and family at Fenton the Sunday before last. This past Sunday they ate out with Fred and Laurel Rock at Yankee Springs Golf Course. Tom and Brenda Bremer, as well as Tom and I were guests at the Beth Boysen-Jeff Bauer wedding and reception on Saturday. Beautiful wedding and great party afterwards. The Phil Benders helped Barb’s brother, Bill Seeley, celebrate his birthday the past week. Bob and Phyl Enders and children were Sunday afternoon visitors of Dave and Sue Enders. This time I think it really is spring. Doesn’t the world look fresh and clean? Of course, our yard looks like prairie dog city with the ground moles leaving fresh mounds each morning... my scratches are about healed from last week’s session of berry bush trimming (there's more to go!)... and the violets in the back have been uncovered so they’ll bloom for Mother's Day. Have a good one! Middle School Girls Track The TK Middle School girls track team beat Hamilton April 26th with a final score of 75-47.

MAY 5.1983 TK Tennis Team Lose Three Matches The Trojan tennis team lost three matches last week. All three matches were close, but we still can't come up with the 3-set win when we need it. Chris Noah remains undefeated after playing the best players in the league. As his scores indicate, it will be tough for him to remain undefeated through the second round. Craig Mathiesen lost his first match of the season on Friday against Caledonia. Todd Colvin played a fine match to defeat Craig. The next meeting bet­ ween these two should be another fine contest. Chris Wingeier had a tough week, losing three matches, two of these were in three sets. Brad Harrison of Caledonia won in straight sets against Chris on Friday. Todd Courts lost a three-set match against Kelloggsville but won a hard fought three-setter against Caledonia. Todd played one of his best mat­ ches against Caledonia. We hope that this is only a glimpse of things to come for Todd. Fred and Eric Hannapel had a great week. They played their best match against Kelloggsville. win­ ning in straight sets against a fine team. Jim Will and Rolfe Timmerman lost a tough mat­ ch to Hamilton on Monday. Both players are deter­ mined to win that point when Hamilton returns to play at Middleville. Jon Scott and Jim Brotherton are looking for their first win. We felt we played at Caledonia but simply came up short. Second and third doubles are continuing to show good improvement. Todd Courts has also shown good improvement this week. Our goal is to continue to improve faster than other teams and upset at least one of them in the second round. The important thing is that our kids still have their “heads up” and are eager to take on these teams again. Middleville 3 - Hamilton 4 1st singles - C. Noah won 6-1,6-0 2nd singles - C.

OFFICER BOYD CAIN takes the fingerprints of children from the first grade class of Mrs. Butler at the West Elementary School. From left. Mike Hanner Kasia Willett, Edward Muller Amy Snider and Chuck Banta. Operation Fingerprints Tragically, over 150,000 children are reported missing every year and thousands are found each year, unidentified. Some are runaways while others just seem to "vanish.” In an effort to “keep track” of youngsters, the Middleville Police Department has started a program of identifcation called "Young People Prin­ ts.” Beginning with the elementary school age children in the TK schools, the police are making a fingerprint record of the children. The information sheet, containing other pertinent data and a photo, is sent home for safekeeping with the parents. “We went to emphasize,” said Cpl. Boyd Cain of the police department, “that these fingerprint records are not kept by the department but are sent to the home.” The program, undertaken by the National Child Safety Council, has been underwritten by the Village Council and is a voluntary’ program. In an emergency, the information on the completed form could greatly assist law enforcement officials in locating and identifying missing children. "Of the 150,000 reported missing children each year, about 100,000 are taken by a divorced parent, ” said Cain. Fifty thousand children are the victims of sex offenders and child abusers nationwide an­ nually. Cain reported that the response so far to the program has been very positive with most parents cooperating. The Thornapple Kellogg School Curriculum Council met April 27, and after hearing an update on computer usage in the various schools, discussed which direction to take in the future. The discussion centered on how to evaluate the curriculum. The concensus of the group was that (1) a needs assessment be made by the faculty. This assessment would designate which of the five core curriculum areas the faculty needed to be evaluated in a ranking order, (2) an outside person who is knowledgeable in curriculum be brought in to organize a method pf evaluation at the beginning of the next school year this fall. The council also discussed the composition of the group, with some suggestions that it be enlarged to include more people of the community. It was suggested that the council should involve senior citizens, recent graduates, possibly someone from the ministers group or representation from each of the groups in the community. No decisions were made on this, however. The Council will meet again on Tuesday, May 24, 8:30 a.m. in the high school. Set Basketball Camp Natalie Rhoades a kindergartener at West, has her fingerprints taken by Cpl. Cain. Middleville Students Look to Future World Three Thomapple Kellogg students competed this past year in a statewide scenario writing con­ test. This competition, associated with the Michigan Future Problem Solving program, pits students from all over the state in the writing of a 1000 word essay on what the world will be like 25 years from now if .... These students spent a great deal of time outside of class researching, writing and rewriting their scenarios. Chris Wheeler, a junior, placed fourteenth in the state with her discussion of U.F.O.’s, their oc­ currence and the reporting of U.F.O. sightings. Jim Verlinde, a senior, placed eleventh with his view of Curriculum Council Review Objectives what the future with robots will be like. Phil Teater, also a senior, and also writing about robotics, placed fifth in the state. Having chosen Phil’s scnario as one of the best in the state, it has been sent to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where it will be judged at the national level. Band Concert at TK Sunday The Thomapple Kellogg Music Department will present the TK High School Concert and Jazz bands in a spring concert on Sunday. May 15, in the TK High Auditorium at 3 o'clock.

When the governor unveiled his budget for fiscal year 1983*84 last week, much was made of the fact that public education, from K-12 through higher education, would receive up to 21% more under his plan. A closer look at the figures show that aid to education, as a percentage of the state's general fund, will be at its lowest point in the past ten years, if Governor Blanchard s new budget goes into ef­ fect. MONUMENTS and jnanji MARKERS The Very Best Quality Materials and Workmanship, See . . MKV JAMES BABCOCK Representing THE LOWELL GRANITE COMPANY 942 Greenwood, Middleville In 1976. education was getting 44% of the state’s general fund budget. In the current year, education is receiving 28% of the total The governor wants to reduce that percentage further to 26%. Meanwhile, the proposed budget for social services is being in­ creased from the current 35% to 40% for next year. It boggles the mind to understand how anyone can look at those figures, and argue that education is the governor’s top priority! In my opinion, the public, and particularly the education community, has been duped again by the Democrats who control every aspect of state gover­ nment. By the way, the department which has received the largest percentage increase in total funds for next year — 21.3% • is the Executive Department. I recently co-sponsored legislation which would repeal the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act (MIOSHA) because it is costly to tax­ payers, and helps to keep the state at a disadvan­ tage when trying to keep our existing businesses or attracting new ones. While I agree that occupational safety must be guaranteed to workers throughout Michigan, I think it could be handled more effectively on the federal level. It costs the taxpayers approximately 6 million annually to pay for MIOSHA enforcement. If the act was handled by federal officials, as is done in several states, considerable money could be saved while still providing workers with adequate safety protection. There is concern that MIOSHA inspectors often lak common sense and sometimes have little or no expertise in areas they are inspecting. Business owners have reported that one inspector contradicts Phone 796-7298 what another has said. Yet, these inspectors, with their nit-picking rules and regulations, harass Michigan firms to the tune of thousands of dollars each vear. . MIOSHA has been in effect for more than eight years and it is time we questioned its existence. I believe safety regulations could be handled more economically at the federal level. Other states like Delaware, which has the best safety record m the country, use a federally run safety program. I think Michigan should follow their example.

Michigan PAGE FOUR STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STA TE REPRESENTA17VE. 54 th DISTRICT The Blanchard Budget for 1983-84 Governor Blanchard considers his proposed 198384 budget to be a bare-bones, "maintenance plain. Yet news reports accurately describe Blanchard s budget as the largest in our state's history — nearly a $600 million increase, or 12.5% over this year’s spending. What ’s going on here? To support his claim of austerity, the new Gover­ nor has chosen to analyze state budget trends since 1980. He argues that. . . . the state’s general fund has grown only 16.5% since 1980, compared to federal budgetary growth of 47.1% during the same period. . . when considering inflation, the purchasing power of the state general fund has declined 7.4% since 1980. If the state had kept pace with inflation over the four-year period, Blanchard would be counselor’s corner BY BERNARD WELLER proposing a 1984 budget totalling $5,748 billion rather than the $5,322 he has called for. What the Governor does not advertise is that more than three-fourths of the 16.5% increase in state general fund spending from 1980 to 1984 will have occurred in his first budget. This one-year hike is expected to exceed the 1984 inflation rate by at least 7.4%. Also, one must ask: Why should 1980 be used as the standard by which we evaluate spending levels in 1984?. The $4.57 billion appropriated then in­ cluded more fully-funded frills like the Pontiac Silverdome subsidy and other pet porkbarrel projec­ ts. Then there was little pressure to hold the line on state salaries or welfare benefit levels, to add work requirements for able-bodied welfare recipients, to reduce the record-high number of state employees and to streamline state programs and regulations — needed steps that have been taken in the years of fiscal austerity since 1980. In short, I believe the one year, 12.5% jump in the state general fund budget and the 38% income tax hike required to pay for it are too much. I fear that those spending and taxing levels will dull the sense of urgency that has caused the legislature to start making Michigan public policies more competitive with those of other states and nations during the past three years. Still it is not fair to evaluate the Blanchard budget solely on the basis of his bottom line. His economic assumptions and how he proposes to allocate state funds require as much review and comment. On those subjects, the new Governor deserves much higher marks. More on that next week. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP HILLEGONDS.

The initiative establishes strong prevention activities as the key to reducing the nation's youth alcohol problem. Speaking in San Francisco. Secretary Schweiker said that if alcohol abuse is a sickness, then today an epidemic is stalking our young people. He cited the following statistics: approximately 10,000 youths between 16 and 24 die in alcohol related motor vehicle crashes each year — the leading cause of death in this age group. "Each year, a staggering ten thousand young lives, rich with promise, are snuffed out,” he said. Approximately three million of our young people between 14 and 17 have problems with the use of alcohol. About one in every four 10th to 12th grader drinks at least once a week. Fifteen percent of such youngsters in the peak of their formative years drink heavily once a week. Six percent of 12th graders drink diaily. More senior high school students today use alcohol than any other psychoactive drug. "Even more important, he said, teenagers often combine alcohol use with other drugs with potentially deadly consequences.’ Schweiker said that future prevention activities will include strengthening bonds among gover­ nment, community, citizen parent groups, and em­ ployers. He praised the progress fostered by volun­ teer groups and said the grassroots efforts of citizens and parents, coupled with the work of treatment professionals in the field and of resear­ chers at the federal level, promise a great deal for the future. At the federal level, Schweiker said that support for research will be expanded. Without such resear­ ch. the work of treatment, prevention and education would be hampered. Emphasis will continue to be placed on diagnostic techniques, knowing that the earlier the treatment, the greater the likelihood of success. We will continue to seek diagnostic tools that can be used by general practitioners and others easily and inexpensively. Planning Home Improvements?

Youth learn to document traditions in their own families or communities and often pass these traditions or skills on to others. Folkpattems is an opportunity to discover what is special about our past, about our families, or about our communities. It is a chance to share the special skills or traditions that are unique to your family, your neighbors or your community. What are 4-Hers searching for? The variety of subjects is endless. what are your family's Christmas traditions? How did your community start? What are the local home recipes for curing a cold? How did a local craftsperson (wood carver, quilter, etc.) learn their skill? What is the history of the oldest house or homestead in your community? What type of games do you play, what kind did your parents play ... your grandparents? 4-Hers involved in Folkpattems use a variety of techniques to document their feelings ... inter­ viewing people, tape-recording stories, photographing people and places, writing down stories or facts. The 4-H Folkpattems project can be used in many ways. It can be a school or church youth project. It can be done as part of a community festival (such as a 100th anniversary of a town). It could be a special display at your local library, bank, church, museum or school. Or it could be a special project for all the members of a family ... perhaps for a family reunion. The Folkpattems project, like all 4-H projects, is flexible and will adapt to the interests of the people who are doing it. If you, your school class, your church group or your community would like to know more about Folkpattems and other 4-H activities, please call Pat Tolle at the 4-H office, 774-3265. tk school menus Church Office 891 8669 West/ McFall Elementary Week of May 16 Monday: Fishwich on bun, plain or cheese, potato rounds, tartar sauce, grape juice, fruit.

No matter where I may move in the future, I’ll always consider this home. Maybe I’m biased, but I think Michigan is one of the most beautiful and abundant states in the union. Michigan week is celebrated May 14-21. This is a good opportunity to mention some of the books available concerning Michigan. Some of these books are reference books, others are written from a historical perspective. How many of you have had questions about a new Michigan law? Half of the frustration comes from being unable to get answers because you dont know who to talk to. Many of you are probably unaware that the Michigan government is interested in hearing your questions. Recently the library received a current publication called The State of Michigan Telephone Directory prepared by the Department of Management and Budget. It gives you phone numbers for all the agencies within the state government. Current information is sometimes difficult to locate, however there are sources that aren't being utilized. The House of Representatives and the Senate in Michigan both put out journals stating the minutes of their meetings. You can look up specific bills to see how each representative voted. Other current material includes a couple of new books called The Legislative Process in Michigan by Susanne R. Morris and The State We're In by the League of Women Voters. Both can help you under­ stand the workings of our state government. It’s fun to research local history and find out what your city or town was like a century ago. We have numerous books on local history published by historical societies from various cities. Perhaps the most comprehensive .volume on history of the state as a whole is called Michigan by Dr. Willis Dunbar. He traces the history of the state from the Indian times to the 1960’s. Dunbar claims that Michigan is the least typical state in the union because of diver­ sification. The two extremes are industrialization of the Detroit area and the remoteness of the upper peninsula. Looking again from a historical standpoint, Bruce Catton’s Michigan tells a different story. Catton, a famous historian, was raised in Michigan. It was the abundance of everything from furs, trees, copper, iron ore and technology that shaped Michigan’s history. State of War by Alan Clive portrays Michigan during the second World War.Both world wars affected Michigan’s industrialization and society Just for fun sometime, take a look at a couple of books with beautiful illustrations. One is titled Ships of the Great Lakes, a Pictorial History by Kuttruff. Lee and Glick This book is found in the oversized collection of books, located directly out­ side of the office in the public library. Another at­ tractive volume is Land of the Island Seas by William Donahue Ellis. How many of the places, depicted in the photographs, have you visited. For all the trivia buffs, there is now a book on Michigan trivia called Michellaneous by Gary W. Barfknecht. These entertaining facts cover odd ac­ cidents, entertainers from Michigan, state records (the biggest, smallest, longest, etc.) natural phenomenas and athletic feats. They are all Michigan facts. If you have any questions on Michigan concer­ ning history, government, agriculture, or vacation hot spots, ask! Happy Michigan Week! Change of Location for Basketball Camp Because of repairs being made on the TK High School gym floor, the Summer Basketball Camp will be held at the Middle School Gym.

Mkhigaa THURSDAY. MAY 18,1983 PAGETHREE Recycling in Barry County Expands to Three Sites Saturday The organization Recycling in Barry County has been very busy the past year. We have been suc­ cessful in setting up three household recycling drop­ off centers. The Caledonia site is located at the Caledonia Foods parking lot on M-37. Because this site is in Kent County, Recycling Unlimited transports all the materials to its processing factory in Grand Rapids. Since this site went into operation one year ago, we have collected enough materials for a pick­ up by R.U. once a week. Each weekly pickup averaged approximately 700 lbs. of Newspapers, 200 lbs. of glass, 100 lbs. of metal and 4 barrels or 7 lbs. of plastic milk jugs. This amounted to keeping over 18 tons of paper. 5 dons of glas, 2*/i tons of metal and 1,456 lbs. of plastic out of the landfill in the past year. All this was accomplished by just one site! The Middleville Recycling Center is located at the Middle Mart Party Store on M-37. Here we collect Cour SPECIALS! CHRISTIANS glass and metal only, leaving newspaper drives to the Middleville Boy Scouts. R.U. picks up our metal for a fee since the market value of metal is so low. We have collected about 22 barrels or 1,650 lbs. of metal food cans since the Middleville site began operation last October. We are collecting our glass in a large bin which will be hauled to Owens-Illinois in Charlotte by R. E. Henry Trucking Co. when it is full. When full, the bin holds about 15 tons of broken glass. The bin is about half full now. Our newest recycling site is located in the fire station parking lot in Hastings. Glass and metal are received here also. The Grand Opening for the Hastings cite will be Saturday, May 21, 1983 from noon until 3 p.m. Gift certificates donated by area merchants will be awarded to lucky recyclers who bring properly prepared materials to be recycled. RIBC is a non-profit organization and owes its suc­ cess to the efforts of its dedicated volunteers. Volunteer site checkers Pat Syrek, Chris Gibson. Fran Maichele, Helen Wenger and J. Schmitz have kept the recycling site clean and neat in Caledonia, but more volunteers are needed. Shar Evans. Ade Penninga. Gerry and Jack Spencer. Francy and Dann Tobin, Jim Oliver and Jackie Schmitz are volunteer site checkers in Middleville. Anyone in­ terested in donating a few minutes of their time every week or two by checking either the Mid­ dleville or Caledonia sites are welcome to call Jackie Schmitz at 795-7897. Those interested in checking the new site in Hastings can call Darlene Paulauski 948-8445 or Shirley Wietnik, 945-2412.

RIBC founders Darlene Paulauski. Jackie Sch­ mitz and Shirley Wietnik have been working on the site since April. The site consists of a fenced area which houses 5 5-gallon barrels for the deposit of tin cans, aluminum and small metal scraps, and a roll­ off bin which is for the deposit of clear, green and brown glass. RIBC members Ade Penninga and David Schmitz helped put up the fence. The paint was donated by Gambles and the cement was pur­ chased by the Hastings High Biology Club studen­ ts. Two senior art students, Lissa McClelland and Margarita Aramburo, who is a Columbian exchange student, lettered RIBC’s signs. The Hastings Girl Scouts sponsored a poster contest which advertised the grand opening and will also explain how to recycle. Bob Henry of R.E. Henry Trucking Service Co. loaned the roll-off bin to RIBC and he will tran­ sport the glass. Summit Steel will pick up the metal. Dave Wiltse, president of Citizens for Recycling, printed RIBC’s brochures which explain how to recycle. The brochures will be available at the grand opening.

Mkfa^aa Retirement A Time for Education, Fun, and Friendship Busy? If you think YOU are busy raising a family, working a job or two, and trying to live a sane social life - wait until you retire! Ask any senior citizen what it’s like to retire. Most will probably scratch their heads and have a hard time telling you wnat’s the big difference about being retired or even when their "retired life” actually did start. Why? Con­ sider this typical week of a senior citizen. Monday and Tuesday. These are "work days” which usually means trying to catch up with last week’s leftovers and to get a leg on this week's chores such as the normal house and yard work. babysitting and taking care of the pets - ours, the grandkids, the neighbors and assorted strays. We hustle the first two days of the week so that we can really get into the fast slide down the back part of the week. We simply can't wait until Wednesday gets here - and when it finally does, away we go! Sharply at 9:00 a.m., the teacher from Adult Education calls the psychology class to attention and starts us on our never-ending quest for knowledge. While many of us are trying to reach a life-long goal of a high school or college diploma, we all benefit from her teaching - we become better A nnouncing SATURDAY BANKING in Hastings THURSDAY, MAY It, 1983 citizens. It doesn't take us long before we realize that learning never really stops. The discussions are lively, stimulating - so full of real life experiences. The time passes so quickly that before we realize it, lunch is being served by our high school cooks. What’s wrong with those grandkids? These lunches are great! It's afternoons now and the real fun is about to begin! B-8, 1-19, N-36, G-53 and ’-75. Bingo. Darn, only needed one more! We look forward to the thrill and excitement of winning or at least coming close now and then. Our winnings don’t seem like much needed household items - not cash award. We believe we're all winners, we all take home the grand prize of friendship. On Thursday the pace quickens. There’s Womens Circle at 10 a.m.: Happy Sixties Potluck at noon. That's an experience. Great programs, travelogues, trips to other lands through the eyes of our young foreign exchange students: an organ player and all those old tunes, and vacations, even on someone else’s slides, are just like being there! It's bound to be interesting, entertaining, and the FOOD! Whew! Friday and another big day. It’s 9 a.m. at the senior citizen’s center and most of us can hardly wait to share the latest craft idea we picked up since the last Art Class. It’s simply amazing what can be produced from “scraps." free or inexpensive materials. Every Friday morning is like a Fine Arts Festival. Our noon lunch crowd forced our local restaurant to open up a special room for ns. And then more fun — Quiet at first, but gradually rising to shouts of laughter and triumph! It’s the Friday afternoon card club. The competition of cards is tough, keen but fun. Four tables of cards - Euchre, Uno, Setback, even dominoes. It doesn’t matter! In between all this, we have to fit in visits to our shut-in friends and relatives, send cards of greeting to our foster home pals, and of course attend at least three important meetings at the church, school, library and even the township hall. We have to squeeze in a monthly field trip such as Franken­ muth, Greenfield Village or the Tulip Festival. Why, we’ve been to St. Louis, Mackinac and the World’s Fair. The weekend at last! Peace and relaxation. Serenity, and - oh, we forgot Saturday. The week’s not over yet. Saturday is “Visitation Day”. Old friends, brothers and sisters, cousins, kids, but the best of all, grandkids. Ever wonder where we get our energy. Keeping up with grand kids - their kind of energy is contagious. And that ’s the way we like it. Sunday is still Sunday • a day of worship and rest. Maybe the only real difference in retirement is that we take more time for our memories, putting them into pictures and albums, and sharing them. Retire? Let’s see • What did we retire from, and when?

IflcMpaa STATE REPRESENTATIVE • 88th HOUSE DISTRICT Economic Development The Governor disclosed his “Action agenda for jobs and economic development this week. The centerpiece of his program involved the creation of 60,000 summer jobs and 20,000 public works jobs. Though I applaud any effort at getting people back to work, these jobs are mostly short-term public service jobs. In fact, 75% of these jobs will be gone by September and most of the remaining jobs will be over by late fall. Another problem I have with this proposal is that it shows little intent on the Governor’s part to make a firm commitment toward working out Michigan’s economic and unemployment problems. About half of the money used will be federal money given to all states so that isn’t new or innovative. Many of the public service jobs involve road repair and construc­ tion which the State would do anyway. Meanwhile, little is proposed which would get at the root causes of our ecnomic problems. In response to this problem, the Republicans in the House of Representatives have proposed an economic development agenda which meets these problems head on. Overall, this agenda includes 38 proposals in the areas of regulatory reform, job development and reducing business costs. Among these proposals are: -changes in workers compensation,' unem- CUSTOM CONTRACTORS RESIDENTIAL and COMMERCIAL • Remodefing and Repairs • Plumbing • Heating • Painting • Concrete Work • Vinyl Siding 795-9882 or 795-7826 plovment insurance and the single business tax. all designed to reduce the cost of doing business in Michigan. —proposals which will expand agriculture’s role in state economic planning and development. —the expansion of the target industries program in the Department of Commerce —a proposal for the expansion of the wood products industry —support for the small business development program. The fundamental difference between the two programs is that, where the Republicans focus on improving the state business climate to foster long­ term private sector job creation, the Governor focuses primarily on short-term public sector job creation. I simply cannot accept the same old theory which says that if we throw enough money at the problem, it will go away Overall, my feeling in this area is optimistic. Im­ portant proposals have been made both by the Governor and by the legislators and it is hoped that more are on the way. Most importantly, I feel strongly that economic development is not a par­ tisan issue, but an issue of overwhelming concern to all of us. I am, therefore, very hopeful that the legislature will forge the coalition necessary to get Michigan back on its feet and working again.

DeMille, the famous motion picture producer, was a man of great talents and keen insights. He liked to get off by himself at times to think out a problem. One such time he went out in a canoe to quietly drift along while he thought about his problem. The canoe drifted inshore to a place where the water was only a few inches deep. Looking down he saw that the bot­ tom was crowded with water beetles. As he watched, one of the beetles came to the surface and slowly crawled up on the side of the canoe. Finally reaching the top, it grasped fast to the wood and died. DeMille's thoughts went back to his problem. About three hours later, he happened to notice the beetle again and saw that, in the hot sun, its shell had become dry and brittle. As he watched, it slowly split open and there emerged from it a new form, a dragonfly, which took to the air out of the cold husk, its scintillating colors flashing in the sunlight. That winged creature flew farther in an instant than the water beetle had crawled in a day. Then it circled back and swooped down on the water. The water beetles below might have seen it, too, but now their erstwhile companion was in a world beyond their comprehension. They were still living in their limited beetle world while their winged cousin gained for himself all the freedom between earth and sky. Later, when DeMille told of this experience, he concluded with a very penetrating question, “Would the great Creator of the universe," he asked, “do that for a water beetle, and not for a human being?" Charles E Roetman A 115,000 matching grant from Shell Oil Com­ pany “provided the boost necessary to keep Michigan’s nationally acclaimed used oil recycling program active statewide for another year, says the project's coordinator Robert E. Newberry of the West Michigan Environmental Action Council. The grant from the Shell Companies Foundation of Houston. Texas was the first of several that have provided funding for the Council’s >45.000 used oil recycling budget this year. Other grants have been obtained from the Evenson Foundation. Grand Rapids (SI6.000). the Joyce Foundation. Chicago (15,000) and from Michigan State University’s cooperative extension service. The oil recycling project which began in August 1979 is beginning to make a contribution to solving the serious state environmental problem caused by oil contaminated water. Oil from the do-it-yourself oil changer has been documented as the largest source of oil pollution of surface and ground waters. It is documented as a “major problem” in every one of Michigan’s Water Quality Plans. “But. despite our best efforts, we are only beginning to put a dent in the pollution caused by used motor oil in Michigan,” said Newberry. Under the WMEAC oil recycling program, more than 1,500 collection sites have been established in 63 of Michigan’s 83 counties. At the sites, mostly service stations and retail stores, citizens can dump used motor oil into drums which have been provided for this purpose. The motor oil is then collected by oil reprocessing companies and rerefined for resale. The collection sites are normally paid from 15 to 25 cents per gallon for the used oil. According to Council estimates, more than 21 million gallons of used motor oil is improperly disposed of each year in Michigan. The statewide oil recycling program collected 350,000 gallons of used motor oil in 1982. Besides the SI5,000 grant from the Shell Foun­ dation, Shell Oil Company is contributing promotional services to the oil recycling project to assist the program in gaining statewide acceptance from citizens and potential collectors. A Shell Oil Company corporate official presented the grant to officials of the newly formed Michigan Recycling Coalition at its meeting on May 4.

Middleville, MidUgas STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS funds would be used to pay for a recommended 5% boost in welfare limit levels. This proposal is sure to come under legislative fire, but I am more concerned that provisions be made to shift to other priorities any surplus social services funds that result from lower-than-expected caseload levels. The Governor’s budget allocations are by no means beyond criticism. At least a portion of the $600 million in additional general fund revenue next year ought to be placed in the now-exhausted "Rainy Day Fund" — a reserve for future economic recessions. Governor Blanchard has also failed to propose enough state monies to qualify for full federal Superfund aid in cleaning up chemical con­ tamination sites. Despite these and other concerns about Blan­ chard’s budgetary choices, I am impressed that the Governor has proposed to reduce the size of a num­ ber of state agencies while restoring the state's commitment to important assets such as education. Now, hopefully, a majority in the legislature will refuse to play the budgetary games of the past that have contributed to the present mess we re in.

W Vi I SPRAY BOTTLE Readable dates have been required since 1977 on perishable foods sold in Michigan. Meat, eggs, fish, REGULARLY $4.98 baked goods and all perishable foods with a shelf life ONLY of 90 days or less are covered. Fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen foods and smoked fish are exem­ pt. The date is a recommended last date of sale. A product will remain wholesome for a reasonable amount of additional time if the product is stored and handled properly. Once a package is opened, it will keep only the usual amount of time, even if the package is dated beyond the current date. 6. Cut food wastes. A 1974 study showed that the average household wasted $200 worth of food an­ nually. This figure would undoubtedly be much higher today with the increased cost of food. To cut down on spoilage, limit purchases of fresh product to the amount that will be consumed while it is still fresh. If fresh fruits or vegetables are left over, freeze or cook and refrigerate for later use When shopping in warm weather, buy food Last and get foods that require refrigerator or freezer storage home and put away as quickly as possible.

Michigan PAGE TWELVE Trojans Upset Hamilton 5-2; Regional# Friday -A The Trojan tennis team won two matches and lost one last week. The loss came at the hands of un­ defeated Hudsonville. The highlight of the week came on Friday when Hamilton was stunned by a young Trojan team. The Trojans reversed an earlier loss to Hamilton by winning Friday's match 5*2. Chris Noah is now 11-0 on the year. Chris has won all of his matches in straight sets and is favored to win the conference title Chris will have strong challenges from both Hudsonville and Kelloggsville. Craig Mathiesen won three more matches to run his record to 10-1. Craig won a very tough match against Hamilton, 8-6 in the third set. Chris Wingeier and Todd Courts each won a singles match last week. Chris defeated a Lee op­ ponent 6-0, 6-0, then lost a hard fought three-set match to Hamilton. Todd played his best match of the year against Hamilton, winning 6-3, 6-4. We are still looking for steady tennis at fourth singles, but Todd showed us that he can play some great tennis. Fred and Eric Hannapel won two matches to run their record to 8-3 on the season. Their loss was to an undefeated Hudsonville team by a close 4-6, 6-7 score. We still have another shot at them in the con­ ference match. Rolfe Timmerman and Jim Will played their best match of the season against Hamilton. Hamilton won this point in the first round, but it was no con­ test this time as Rolfe and Kim won 6-2,6-1. Jim Brotherton and Jon Scott continue to im­ prove kand should win more before the season ends. These two continue to get stronger with each match.

Leading hitters for the hometown girls were: Darcy Wingeier2 (triple), Jill Smith 2 and Pat- counselor’s corner BY BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counselor Communicating It is commonly said that trouble between the generations is due to a lack of communication. “I can’t communicate with my parents,” is a common complaint of teenagers. “They won’t listen to me.” The parents of these same accusers are likely to fret because “My kids won’t talk to me. I can’t get a thing out of them. Actually, a person communicates by everything he does - not just by talking. Your child comes home from school, mumbles grumpily, goes to his room and slams the door. A teenager puts her hand on her dad’s shoulder. A teacher calls on the same few students day after day. A teenager develops a pattern of truancy from school. All these individuals are sending oui messages. It may be that a message isn’t picked up, or that it is misinterpreted. Com­ munication may be negative or it may be unclear, but it is not absent. The communication problem may lie with the listener. It isn’t enough just to hear words. Listening means trying to figure out what a person is feeling when he speaks. A parent may say to his teenage daughter, “If you can’t go along with our rules, get out.” She may take this command literally, pack, and start to leave. At this point the parent yells, “You’re not setting foot outside this house, young lady!” But by then, it’s a little late for the parent to try to explain that what he really meant was: “I feel I’ve lost con­ trol of the situation. I don't know where to go from here.” When adults lose control of a situation, it’s because they are feeling helpless and frightened. They need help Most of all, they need reassurance that they are adequate parents, even when they do a lot of fumbling. Good communication involves not only listening for the true meaning behind the spoken word, but also “listening’ to what a person does. Behavior is a reflection of the way a person feels about himself and the people in his life. ty Fifelski 2. Laine Hunt collected two RBI’ by hit­ ting a single and dropping a perfect sacrifice bunt. Miss King finished the day by fanning 15 Sparta batters and firing a one hitter. When the final game came to a close it was too dark to begin the final game of the double elimination tournament. The decision was made to declare co-champions. Both teams ended the long day with 4-1 marks. On Monday the Trojan ladies took their attack on the road to Kelloggsville. The Rockets were silenced by a fine one-hitter by Sue King. The Trojan defense played errorless ball with first baseman, Inline Hunt, handling 4 unassisted putouts. leading the hittinhg parade were Laine Hunt 3 (2 doubles), Jill Smith 3 (triple). Sue King 3 and Karmen Gray 3. The hometown ladies play Caledonia and Com­ stock Park this week.

EDITOR 5 NOTE: AO of us that are parents can fed the pride Mima Tiemeyer has for her son, John, upon the winning of national honors at last fall’s FFA convention. She describes how she fdt waiting for the announcement............. BY WILMA TIEMEYER Future Farmers of America who are national award winners, left this week for an 18-day tour of Europe. The travel seminar through six countries rewards 22 young men and women who have distinguished themselves with their agricultrual experience program. Now in its fifth year, the annual tour complemen­ ts the recognition given to winners at the National FFA Convention last November. Twenty-two Proficiency Award winners, who are recognized for their agricultural abilities, will visit France, England, Germany, Holland, Luxemburg and Belgium. The award programs and tour are made possible by business and industries who support the organization through the National FFA Foun­ dation, Inc. John Tiemeyer of Caledonia, is one of the National winners and is among the group on the tour. John won his award in the Agricultural Sales and Service area. The FFA era will gain a hearty taste of agricultural life abroad by visiting farm families in Holland and England. Highlights of the trip will in­ clude a Flower Auction in Amsterdam, a visit with the American Soybean Association in Belgium, two days in Paris, a ferry ride across the English channel and a tour of Winsor Castle in Bath. England. After returning to the United States on May 31, the members will host a Capitol Hill breakfast to share their experiences with congressmen and senators. The Convention Center was packed. 20.000 FFA members wearing blue corduroy jackets lined the spiral walls to the circular ceiling. Coming from 50 states and Peurto Rico, the 55th Annual Convention of the Future Farmers of America was now in progress. This convention was special because John, our son, was on the platform as one of four finalists competing for the National Agriculture Sales and Service Proficiency award My ‘parent involvement’ in FFA seemed to be past. But that changed the day I carried back from our mailbox a heavy, impressive looking envelope which had been sent to John from the U. S. Depar­ tment of Education. I laid it on his desk. I had to wait for the news because he was working. “Mom, you know that big envelope you laid on my desk yesterday?” Not waiting for a reply he con­ tinued, "Well, I’m one of four finalists in the nation for the Ag Sales and Service award.' ’ Wow! Had I heard him correctly? This is ex­ citing! Too good to be true; but it was true. Our son’s hard work had not only paid off, but he recognized for it. “Oh, John,” I said hugging him. “no matter what happens at the Convention, you’re already a winner.” It hadn’t always been that way. As any normal youngster, John had times of failure as well as suc­ cess. But to him, the difficulties seemed more, much more, than the success. And at age seven, despon­ dency took hold of him. Within a few weeks of time, John’s oldest sister hl 1 >#i a;..

Pastor Phone 891 8923 had married and moved into her own home, and his oldest brother left for a short term of service with the Air Guard. When his favorite teacher had an ex­ tended sick leave, John felt like the people who mat­ tered in his life were leaving him. Shortly after that, his small white kitten died, and John’s ability to enjoy life was completely squelched. I knew John’s problem was serious, but it was the insight of a teacher, and the action she took, that changed his course. A school counselor was appointed for us. and af­ ter that a school psychologist. And because of these combined efforts, we saw John begin to shed the image of “a little boy who carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. When John was eight years old, he knew that within one year he could join 4-H and raise a calf. Our bam was full of black and white cows, but John wanted a brown one. While sitting at the desk one day, he carefully typed a short note for his Dad (I still keep it in the strong-box) which read “Dad, I love Guernseys. Will you please get one here? One or three will make me so happy. John.” He started 4-H with a grade guernsey. However, before his 2nd year, he was the owner of a registered heifer calf who became the mother of his present cow family. Although interesting and fun. these 4-H years were times of difficult character development. In the first years he won some ribbons, but he was generally not a winner. Added to that disappoin­ tment were days when frustrations seemed to multiply. When John was 11, his father was seriously in­ jured in a farm accident. Then he joined the rest of the family in keeping the farm work up to date. John was eager to get into FFA. As an active member, his interests, creativity and ability developed. His individual characteristics were iden­ tified and put to use. A steady growth of confidence, competence and self-esteem followed. Now 19, he was headed for the National FFA Convention. It would have been easier to stay at home: not meet deadlines, not meet strangers, not be disciplined. But the interviews were scheduled. I went to Kansas City too. Sitting in the Conven­ tion Center, I knew full well that John might not win the Sales and Service award. I was thankful for each time he had not won in previous contests. For the times at the 4-H fair when he had received a white ribbon instead of a blue one, or no ribbon at all. He had learned that to win was not of highest importance, and that attitude had been enforced in FFA. My reverie was broken as the soloist for that morning meeting approached the microphone to sing "My Tribute. She was very young, but con­ fident, as she sang, “Just let me live my life, let it be pleasing unto Thee, And should I gain any praise, let it go to Calvary.” My soul responded emotionally to her beautiful rendition. John had been raised on what we believed to be proper amounts of food, work, fun and prayer. "Lord,” I said, “Thank you; for everything!” Her singing produced a silence that hung over the entire auditorium. But now again excitement rose as the meeting continued. The four finalists in Ag Sales and Service were ushered to the platform. John stood to the left of the other three young men. Yes, I really wanted him to win: to carry home the knowledge that the confiden­ ce we had always placed in him was well founded. The speaker then introduced the four, and they each received a beautiful engraved placque from their respective region. Then continuing, the speaker, “Our winner is a young man from Michigan: John Tiemeyer. ” Cheers! Shouting! John, our son, had won the National award. His name and picture were on the TV screen above the platform. Then several more pictures of John working around our farm were shown, and more was being said about him. But I didn't hear what was said, and I don’t know what pictures were shown. My eyes were on John. I wan­ ted to capture forever the excitement of the moment. Later, as I thought about the announcement, “Our winner is a young man from Michigan”, I silently acknowledged that John was, to a great ex­ tent, a product of the opportunities offered by our state. Thank you, Michigan! Thank you, Caledonia! I came home with a deep appreciation for our young people. They are confident and trained. And as they continue to step into areas of leadership, dif­ ficulties in the areas of Agriculture, I believe, will be dealt with in a positive way. �ClJSSIFIIl Alls Classified Ad Rates 100Per Word, Per Insertion If you pay in advance, you save a $1.00 billing charge.

Michigan PAGE SIXTEEN TKHS Students Elect Barry’s ‘Friendly Buses Transport 45,462 People First Year Those red, white and blue buses you see cruising through the local area are beginning to pay off. Theodore (Ted) F. Bustance. Transportation Manager for Barry County Transit, announced the financial results and ridership numbers for the first year of operation. Bustance advises there have been 45,462 people transported in the first year of operation. Most importantly, they have returned 24< on a dollar of revenue through fares in the first year. This is, incidentally, 10-12e better than any other transit system in its first year of operation in the state of Michigan for County Incentive, said Bustance. He also stated that Barry County Transit is spending at least 95% of all monies in Barry County. What this does is that it returns back to Barry County approximately S224.347.00 of gasoline tax monies that would have otherwise gone to some other metropolitan area Bustance notes that the senior citizens of the county would not have had a bus system after Sep­ tember 1, 1982 because of the financial restraints on that partisular system, the State of Michigan and Federal budgets. The transit organization transported: 44% Contractual work 36% Senior Citizens 4% Handicapped • 4 Students 12% General Public Bustance would like to also make sure that the people of Barry County understand exactly where this funding is coming from. “First of all a little history is in order. In 1978 there was a vote of the people to take a portion of the money set aside for mass transportation. Of that, a portion was set up for County Incentive systems to operate as follows: (a) They would receive 100% funding for two years, minus revenues. (b) The third year would be 75/25 local funding (c) The fourth year would be 50/50 matching fun­ ds. “It is Barry County Transit's goals to bring in 341 this year, 40% next year and in our fourth year be the first self-supporting transit system in the State of Michigan. We think this goal can be achieved through consolidation of the present systems in Barry County. We think that through Call a Friend! Announcing...

This could not have been achieved without the cooperation of a fine staff and our goal of self-sufficiency which all of the people at Barry County Transit wish to accomplish. "We started our system by operating five buses and then we determined that we only needed three buses to get the same amount of work done, and in September of last year we added a work route, plus picked up students, which puts our fleet up to four buses and we have one bus available. We are plan­ ning to get this bus into operation in September of this year in the townships of Hope, Barry and Prairieville," said Bustance. Middleville Church Reactivates Scout Troop The Middleville United Methodist Mens Club has decided to reactivate Boy Scout Troop 105 which held its first meeting Monday evening at the church. Scoutmaster is Chuck Baughman and the troop is beginning with ten members: Chris Barton, Chip Baughman, Robert McManus, Rob Smelker, Rob and Glenn Woodard and four who will join in as soon as they graduate from Webelos in Cub Scouts Bryan Brant, Fred Fox, Jason Rogers and Randy Sharp. Any other boys 11 and older or presently in fifth grade who would like to join may call Scout­ master Baughman at 795-7373 or Committee Chairman Dann Tobin at 795-9497. Some of the early plans for the new troop include helping Cub Scout Pack 3065 with their Dad’s Night and Canoe Trip; an overnight to Cedar Point;? a week in Canada with Troop 253 from East Grand Rapids; a week at Camp Gerber-Shiawandosee at Blue Lake; and work on the Bicycling merit badge To raise funds, the boys are going to hold a garage sale on June 2-3-4. Any donations of saleable items the community would like to make would be greatly appreciated. Boys will pick up items if you call Scoutmaster Baughman at 7905-7373. 2:00 pm. 4:30 pm.

Boy Scout Troop 65 would like to welcome a new troop of Boy Scouts to the Middleville area. Troop 105. will be led by Chuck Baughman and supported by the Methodist Church. Troop 65 wishes Troop 105 much success. Twenty seven bags of rubbish were collected on May 7 by Troop 65 when they had a roadside cleanup for the village. You will want to plan on being downtown on Memorial Weekend as the Scouts of Troop 65 will have a display. More information coming. In the near future. Troop 65 plans to attend a village meeting as scouts will be working on their citizenship badges. Troop 65 has a camping trip planned for this week end. also a paper drive for June 11 with a potluck picnic following. The picnic will be for the scouts and their families at Spring Park. Any boy who may be interested in joining Boy Scouts may obtain information from Troop 65 Scoutmaster Pete Hernandez, 795-9845, or Troop 105 Scoutmaster Chuck Baughman, 795-7373. The age requirement for a boy is lOMi-11 years of age and the fifth grade completed. A Boy Scout does not have to come from a Cub Scout or Webelo outfit (younger group of scouts) in order to join Boy Scouts. Boys who become Scouts need to support their troop by participating in all activities and events. A Boy Scout Troop also needs the support of parents to the boy and the troop as a whole.

Awarded annually sin­ ce 1980. the scholarship is given to one of the top students from the ten different departments at TK High school. The candidates and their parents were honored at a banquet on Tuesday night, highlighted by an address from Gus Ganakas, assistant athletic director of Michigan State University. Verlinde. the son of Mr and Mrs. James Verlinde, 513 Edward Street. completed his high school studies with a perfect 4.00 point grade average.

One of my favorite ways to vacation is to go camping. I love it when I can get away with wearing the same blue jeans for three days. I also look forward to no make up, blow dryers or curling irons. It’s the only time in memory that I’ve been ready for the day five minutes after climbing out of my sleeping bag. Luckily I usually go camping with close friends or family and they look equally rustic. I learned long ago that to truly relax and enjoy yourself while camping requires planning. Nothing makes me more hyper than running out of food, water or gas while camping. Besides, half the fun involves planning menus, routes and campsites. If you've never camped before, I suggest reading up on it ahead of time. By the time you are in the mid­ dle of the woods and discover you’ve forgotten an essential item, it's too late! There are many beautiful places to camp. If you have only a few days and don’t want to venture far from home, Yankee Springs area offers many great campsites. If you would like to travel further, Michigan Pictorial Campground Guide by Dirk Bloemendaal outlines all the Michigan parks and the facilities they offer. There is a part of America that remains wild and free. If this sounds like your kind of camping. Exploring America's Backcountry is the book for you. After looking at this book, put out by National Geographic, one finds many poten­ tial campsites relatively close to Michigan. One of the most enjoyable places to camp are the National Parks. The closest national park to Michigan is Isle Royale north of Houghton in the Upper Peninsula, so be prepared to travel to ex­ perience these natural wonders. The National Park Guide by Michael Frome is a valuable book to con­ sult before visiting the parks. Some travelers are lucky enough to have seen most of our national parks. Perhaps these people would enjoy Wildlife Refuges. Laura and William Riley have written a guide to these called National Wildlife Refuge. In­ cluded are all 365 Wildlife Refuges in the country. For those who are looking for places and events way off the beaten track, try Tripping in America by Bill Thomas. I get a kick out of what other people do for entertainment. This shows you where to find everything from Hobo Conventions to the World Cow Chip Throwing Contest. By this time you should have some good ideas on where you would like to camp. One of the best books for information on how to camp is the Campers Digest by Erwin and Peggy Bauer. This should tell you everything you need to know about camping equipment. The On and Off the Road Cookbook by Carl Franz and Lorena Havens will help you plan menus. How to Build a Comfortable Campsite - A beginners guide by Martha Sherwood should answer the rest of your camping questions. You’ll be a cam­ ping pro before your first trip.

MAY M. 1« pagethrb A Fresh Coat of Paint Can Give a Home New Life A fresh coat of paint can make a house look better and protect the surface of the home against weathering. It’s time to repaint when the paint film on your home is cracking, peeling, blistering, chalking, severely fading or showing other signs of deterioration. Surfaces that are exposed to the most sunlight deteriorate the fastest, so the south and west sides of your home may need repainting twice as often as the north and east sides. Painting a home more of* ten than every four or five years, however, will not permit the old paint film to wear away and may result in a thick coat of paint and a brittle surface. Occationally, the old paint surface still looks good after five years and repainting can be postponed longer. The most important and most difficult step in housepainting is surface preparation. Proper cleaning of the surface helps a coat of paint last longer. A plain water washing will dean most ordinary dirt off the home. For hard-to-remove dirt, use a 36% Cotton Knit 65% Poly 2 Pc.

Rinse with dear water. If mildew is present scrape it off. Then wash down the area with an ammonia solution and rinse with clear water. Paint and hardware stores carry commercial products which can make surface cleaning easier. Repair any broken or decayed board before repainting Replace missing window putty and seal cracks and holes with caulking compound. This will prevent rain from penetrating the wall and getting behind the paint. Remove blistered, flaking or peeling paint by scraping or brushing the area with a wire brush. Smooth the surface by sandpapering the area. Use paint removers to remove paint from old windows and other localized areas where coats of paint have built up over time. If you discover any areas where the paint blisters or peels every year or if you find wet wood, look for the source of moisture and repair it. No paint will adhere to a wet surface. Once the surface is prepared, it’s ready for pain­ ting. Paint your house when daytime temperatures are between 50 and 90 degrees F and night tem­ peratures stay above 30 degrees. Ideal daytime temperatures are between 50 and 75. Hotter temperatures cause the paint to thicken, making the job of painting more difficult. It’s better to paint when you expect the weather to stay dry and sunny, but not very hot for several weeks. After a heavy rain, wait at least 24 hours so yhour paint job won’t be ruined by wetness. Also avoid painting on windy days, especially if dust and insects are plentiful. Painting shaded surfaces instead of surfaces in direct sunlight is more comfortable for you and allows the paint to dry at its proper pace. A good painting job consists of a primer coat and a finish coat. When repainting, you need to apply only a finish coat. A scraped area or new wood should be primed before the finish coat is applied. Outdoor paints come in two basic variations — oil and latex or acrylic. When choosing between the two, the rule is to apply oil over oil and latex over latex. However, you can switch paint types if you apply a primer first. Oil-based housepaints are designed to erode slowly by a process called chalking. If you run you hand over a surface that is chalking, some of the color will come off in your hand. A chalking surface must be repainted when most of the film has eroded. Latex paints are popular because of their easy cleanup with soap and water. They are very durable and don’t chalk but they do crack and peel. To determine the amount of paint needed for one coat, multiply the height of the wall by the distance around the house and divide by 400, which is the number of square feet a gallon will cover. This gives the number of gallons needed. Buy top quality paint. A higher quality paint will be easier to apply, will cover better and will form a more durable finish than lower-quality paint. Labor is a large part of a painting job. so it makes good sense to buy longer-lasting paint. Painting the house yourself costs less than hiring the job out, but it is time consuming. Before yoiu start, determin realistically how bit the job is and then decide if you have the time to do it yourself. 55 Graduate from Community School Hard work and determination paid off for 55 graduates of Lowell.

MAY 28.1983 counselor’s corner BY BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counteior Who are You Today? One concept in the field of psychiatry is that each person is actually three beings - adults, parent and child — sometimes playing one role, sometimes another. Let’s see how this theory works: lam driving down the street when a man walking against the red light darts in front of my car. I thrust my head out of the window and yell something like: “You blasted fool. What are you trying to do - get killed or something? At that moment we are parent and child, although according to age we are both adults. I go to a New Years Eve party in a ridiculous costume. I wear a silly hat, blow whistles, kiss strangers. For an evening I play the role of a child at play. The next day I attend a meeting at which we decide on curriculum plans for our school. Now I am an adult. Problems in human relationships arise when people play roles inappropriately. Let’s suppose Don is five years old. Mother tells him to pick up his toys before bedtime. That’s proper communication because parent and child are playing their regular roles. Don might throw a tantrum for an evening or two until he is convinced that 'Mom means what she says. Now suppose Don is seventeen and Mom says, * ‘You aren’t getting enough sleep. You’d better be in bed early tonight.’’ This doesn’t work because Don doesn’t think of himself as a child any more. He may revert to childlike behavior, however, in an at­ tempt to get even with his parents who won’t let him grow up. Suppose Father says “You’re not driving that car again until those grades come up, and that a that! Chances are frail that a teenager will respond with maturity, since he is being spoken to as a child. He is more likely to react in one of several childlike ways: sulk. rant, slam doors, leave the house, flunk a few more subjects. The one thing he probably won’t do is get better grades because that would be equivalent to saying. “You were right. Dad. I am a little kid and you are a wise adult. ’’ Suppose, however, the family in question is fairly “open’’ in its communication. Mom, dad and teenager have an adult discussion about family problems, such as: Why is teenager doing poorly in school? How often should a teenager have the use of the family car? What advantages would there be in improved grades for teenager? Why do good grades mean so much to parents? In short, when young people are treated like adults, by adults, they tend to act that way. Being listened to does not necessarily mean getting one s own way. A family operates in a healthy manner when its members understand that parents, as well as sons and daughters, make concessions even when they ’d rather not.

Minority Leader Michael Buech and I announced the House Republicans’ economic agenda. Our plan is the result of much review and discussion by a caucus task force on which I have been serving. Listed in this agenda are positive steps House Republicans believe should be taken to help improve the climate for jobs, business and investment in Michigan. Our 38 proposals address three major concerns. The need to undertake regulatory reform; the need to further reduce the cost of doing business in our state; and, the need for long-range state policies that will encourage new job growth. State incentives to invest in Michigan will not work well unless regulatory disincentives are removed. For example, the state currently requires that contractors who work on Economic Develop­ ment Corporation-subsidized projects pay prevailing wages. This added cost is discouraging project sponsors from using EDC financing. The prevailing wate requirement should be repealed. Legislative accomplishments of the past session, such as the workers’ compensation amendments and a one-stop permit office, will be undermined if they are not administered or implemented properly. Better legislative oversight of state regulatory fun­ ctions — as is proposed in sunset legislation — must be undertaken. In order for state economic development programs to accomplish their purpose, there must be further steps to reduce business costs in Michigan. Health care cost containment proposals should be carefully evluated and enacted. Even in the wake of a bloody — but productive — round of workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance reforms, more action is necessary. A tighter definition of disability in workers’ compen­ sation and a permanent end to automatic increases in unemployment benefits should be approved. As politically painful as such issues may be for the CHECK THE Happy Birthday Nuclear 'college' celebrates first year THURSDAY. MAY 26,1983 Governor and many lawmakers, no sound economic plan ran disregard what are major concerns of the job providers we hope to keep in, and attract to, our state. The state must encourage and adopt policies that will stimulate the long-term creation of jobs. Coor­ dinated job-training efforts and the use of state bonding authority for capital formation and in­ vestment are programs that are listed on most economic development agendas. House Republicans also are urging the study of other innovative ideas, such as the partial forgiveness of state loans for engineering and science students who choose to con­ tribute their skills as employees in Michigan; or an easing of restrictions on contracts between univer­ sity researchers and business to discourage the brain-drain of research professors from our schools into the private sector. Hoping that our goals would be his goals, we shared our recommendations with Governor Blan­ chard prior to his own economic message. Economic development should not be a partisan question. Coalition-building similar to the effort in the last legislative session will be necessary to make Michigan more competitive. Next week: A look at the Blanchard economic plan.

East of Whitneyville "Simulators,” computer-controlled replicas of the control rooms at the utility’s Palisades and Midland nuclear generating plants. Gene Hinsley couldn’t have asked for a better "birthday” pre­ sent. The Midland Nuclear Training Center which he directs cele­ brated its first year recently with the arrival of sophisticated equipment that makes the facility one of the largest and bestequipped in the nation. In fact the training center is so sophisticated that it actually is closer to a small technical col­ lege. Packed into its 70,000 square feet are 16 classrooms, 15 conference rooms, a library, an auditorium, and five laboratories filled with the most up-to-date equipment available. Nearly 50 instructors, technical and ad­ ministrative personnel operate the $42 million center The center is minutes away from the Midland Nuclear Co­ generation Plant which will begin operating in early 1985. During its first year nearly 2,000 employees of Consumers Power Company, which owns and operates the training center. ha\e taken classes there. The center offers 26 courses, ranging from basic introductory classes to advanced chemistry and health physics, and lasting from several days to several months. But the pride of the nuclear training center are its “simu­ lators," computer-controlled rep­ licas of the control rooms at the utility’s Palisades and Midland nuclear generating plants With these simulators, licensed opera­ tors can update their skills and requalify for federal licenses and new operators can receive ad­ vanced training under real-life conditions The control-room consoles duplicate instrument readings and reactions under any possible situation, right down to the sounds the operator would hear. This lets operators gain ex­ perience in the way real plants would actually operate and react. Control room operators aren’t the only people using the training center. It also is designed to sharpen the nuclear knowledge and skills of technicians, inspec­ tors, engineers, maintenance personnel, and clerical and sec­ retarial support staffs assigned to the Company’s Palisades, Midland and Big Rock Point nuclear plants. . Sharpening skills in one of five labs. "The training facilities help us build a complete, well-trained team at each of our nuclear plants,” says Hinsley. “The train­ ing offered here goes beyond what is required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission It’s good insurance.” “We are committed to con­ tinuing a tradition of producing electrical power safely and ef­ ficiently at our nuclear plants. Safety and reliability are a direct result of thorough training, and you can’t find a better place for that than the Midland Nuclear Training Center ” This advertisement is paid for by the shareholders of Consumers Power Company Buaineaa Service NANCY GIAR HOURS / Daily 9 am. - 4 p m.

Nm MMdlrHlK MteHfa> Food Buy Lines: How to Grill to Perfection The outdoor grilling season officially arrives with the first long weekend of summer. Consumers again this year will undoubtedly be shopping for thrifty cuts to supplement the ever-popular hamburgers and hot dogs. The choice of economical cuts is much greater than most shoppers realize. Any cut which can be broiled or roasted with dry heat in the kitchen range can be successfully cooked on the outdoor grill. The field of choice is even greater if tenderizers and marinades are used with less tender cuts. Retail pork prices have moved downward, so you might like to try country-style spareribs. Country stye spareribs are much meatier than regular spareribs, because the country-style ones are made from the blade end of a pork loin roast. Other rib possibilities are beef short ribs and lamb riblets. A flat, hinged basket is especially useful for smaller ribs. It is advisable to parboil beef and pork ribs before putting them on the grill. Cooking the ribs 45 minutes before grilling means they will grill in less time and be more tender. This procedure also eliminates a lot of spattering and blazing on the grill. Thick slices of ham (sometimes called ham steak) are one of the most convenient, easily grilled pork cuts. If the hams are purchased fully cooked, they only have to be heated through and browned. Ham labeled "cook before eating" requires longer, slower cooking. Poultry is an economical choice for outdoor grilling. Whole fryers, small turkeys (10 pounds or less) and turkey rolls are suitable for the rotisserie. Keep the heat low and allow adequate cooking time so the meat is thoroughly cooked on the inside by the time it browns on the outside. Fryer parts, fryer quarters and turkey parts cook very nicely on the grill One beef cut is more satisfactory than others for outdoor grilling. This blade cut is next to the tender rib area and contains more tender meat than other chuck cuts. It can easily be identified by the long, straight blade bone. This bone looks like cartilage and can be cut with a knife if the meat is from a young carcass. This cut is literally the first-cut. blade stake and sometimes is so labeled. If you haven’t already discovered charcoal broiled fish, now may be the time to do so. There are curren­ tly some very attractive features on frozen fish. Fish are tender and cook very quickly, so don’t use too much heat. Start cooking only when the coals are covered with a gray ash. Spread the coals evenly. Have the grill well greased so the fish won’t stick. Or better yet, put hardware cloth (available from hardware stores) on the grill grease and place fish pieces on top. A greased, flat, hinged basket is also good for holding fish steaks, fillets or small whole fish. For basting, use butter or margarine and lemon juice or a barbeque sauce. Probably the lowest priced meat cut you can grill is liver. Beef liver is especially tasty when grilled with bacon. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut out tubes and peel off the outer membrane. Sprinkle meat tenderizer evenly over the entire surface of the liver (sprinkle as if you were salting it but use no salt). Pierce liver deeply with a kitchen fork at W in­ ch intervals. Brush liver with French dressing or salad oil Cook immediately on the grill about 3 in­ ches from hot coals. Broil 4 to 8 minutes per side, depending upon thickness and desired doneness. While browking the second size, place bacon strips on grill beside liver. Broil bacon until crispy brown and serve over liver.

VAN SYOC WH CHIROPRACTIC CENTER MITIAL CONSULTATION NO CHARG£ TK Netters Qualify For State Tourney The Trojan tennis team started the week off with a loss to Kelloggsville but bounced back to defeat Caledonia. Friday the Trojans played very well and overcame a difficult draw to qualify for the State Tournament June 3 in Kalamazoo. The Trojans lost to Kelloggsville, Caledonia and Hamilton in close matches of the first round. In the second round, the Trojans defeated Caledonia and Hamilton. They also beat Kelloggsville by a point in the regionals to qualify for the state tournament. We still have plenty of room for improvement but we are happy with the way our team is performing at this point. Chris Noah ran his record to 16-0 while winning the regional title. Chris had to come from behind in the second set to win his first regional crown. Strong serves and consistent ground strokes were too much for his opponent. Craig Mathiesen won the second singles flight of the regional. Craig had a very difficult draw, but defeated South Christian in three sets of the first round. Craig also needed three sets to win in the finals against Hamilton. Chris Wingeier lost another tough three set mat­ ch. This time Chris lost to Kelloggsville by the score of 1-6, 6-1. 6-8. Chris played very’ well in the last two sets and has another shot in the conference match. Todd Courts had a great day for the Trojans Todd was a regional runner up. A big win against Kelloggsville in the semifinals helped to send the team to the state finals. Fred and Eric Hannapel were also regional run­ ners up. Fred and Eric just missed being regional champs when they lost to South Christian in three sets. Rolfe Timmerman and Jim Will played some good tennis, but it just wasn’t enough to defeat Hamilton. We lost this one in three sets Jon Scot and Jim Brotherton played their best match of the season in defeating Hamilton in three sets. Jon and Jim lost to the eventual champions in the semi-finals.

Public Health has suggested precautions that, when followed, will minimize the risk from contaminated firewood...... Wood that is known to be from an area where numbers of birds or bats roost should not be disturbed. Wood from an unknown source, which is covered with bird droppings andor soil, should not be used. Wood should be cut. split and stored outdoors or apart from the home. The danger of handling firewood inside is that any histoplasmosis spores that are stirred up remain enclosed and are more likely to be inhaled; outside, spores tend to be dispersed and there is less chance of breating them and becoming infected. A spokesman for the Allegan County. I Dighton Township family states that just recently the Cen ter for Disease Control (CDC) • Atlanta, confirmed the presence of spores in samples taken from their basement the first of February. It takes ap­ proximately three months to culture and test these samples. The family would Like to stress that the fungus and spores are microscopic so even clean wood doesn't necessarily mean disease-free wood They believe they were exposed to large amounts of spores after stacking a two-month wood supply in their basement. In the five years this family has burned wood, this was the first time klthey ever stored more than a week’s supply in their basement at one time. All six members of this family were affected with symptoms ranging from essentially no symptoms to severe pulmonary involvement in one family mem­ ber. Since this illness is relatively uncommon in Michigan and its symptoms are not unique, the diagnosis of sporadic illness is very difficult.

Village Clerk counselor’s corner BY BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counsel or Relating to Others A family is in trouble when its members are un­ concerned about one another's needs. One person's needs may collide with those of someone else in the family. Mom requires an orderly environment in or­ der to function well. She also wants to think of her­ self as a good housekeeper. The kids in the family may have no such need, so are not motivated to put their belongings away or to keep their rooms clean. Dad needs quiet after a day of hassling with the public. Son craves loud music after a day of being made to sit still and keep quiet. Family life is a continuous process of individuals fulfilling their needs at the same time they are ac­ commodating to the needs of others. The family situation becomes untenable when any one member must have his way all the time. The I-want-what-Iwant-when-I-want-it member may be an inflexible parent who refuses to "give". Or it may be a child or teenager brought up by "sacrificing" parents. I Count, You Count The infant is concerned only about his own com­ fort. During early childhood he learns about sharing and not always having his own way. Gradually, he realizes that "giving in" is not just a matter of not having things on his own terms, but also concerns the rights and needs of others. All human relationships are based on one of four philosophies: I count, you don’t. You count, I don’t. Neither of us counts. Both of us count. Unless "we both count" someone gets hurt. Elsa and Gene were divorced when Mark was two. In her effort to make it up to Mark for his not having a father, Elsa gave in to all Mark’s demands. She gave up any thought of a social life ot her own. Both Elsa and Mark are unsuccessful in human relationships. Mark grew up with an I-count-youdon’t attitude because his mother taught him that his wishes mattered and hers didn’t. Alcoholism, drug addiction and suicide are disastrous products of the you-don’t-count-andneither-do-I school. The person who is successful in human relation­ ships operates most of the time with the belief that his own needs are important and so are the other person’s. ‘•Pizzas (t)ubinqrintfN ''Italian Specialties -•• • • • • • ••••WnitM WITH OFFICES IN CALEDONIA AND DUTTON, MICHIGAN 120 UE.'’Main Street ^Middleville."Mi. • • • • • • ••• Call: 795-7S44 fi»r Takeout �STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STA TE REPRESENT* TtVE. 54th DISTRICT Governor Blanchard's economic development message was long on rhetoric but short on vision. To be fair, better ideas may be coming later from the Executive Office. The Governor has appointed an advisory committee of business and labor leaders and will be announcing a long range “economic diversification program" this fall. In the meantime, Blanchard has proposed a mish­ mash of re-packaged, short-sighted conditional measures Re-packaged. The most ironic statement of the Governor's speech was his partisan cry, "With or without the Reagan Administration. Michigan is going back to work this summer”. In fact, at least half and possibly as much as 70% of the 80,000 citizens the Governor hopes to put tow work this summer will be supported by federal fun­ ds. State revenues for public works projects are to be raised by using existing housing and transpor­ tation bonding authorities initiated during the Milliken years. It’s not that these employment programs are unwelcome. It’s just that many of the jobs to be provided would occur anyway, with or without the Blanchard "proposal. " Short-righted. The Governor has recommended that about one-third of the 875 million to be spent on summer youth employment be "borrowed” from special state funds, including the Kammer Land Trust Fund. Kammer money is derived from oil and gas revenues and is supposed to be dedicated to the purchase of recreational land for future generations. To borrow from tomorrow in order to supplement a six-month program is a poor tradeoff. It is also the kind of bookkeeping that got us into the fiscal mess state government is in — the short-sightedness Blanchard said he would avoid. If the Governor does not believe that summer jobs are important enough to receive a priority in the state's general fund budget, he should propose a scaled-down program. Conditional. Small businesses will receive a larger Single Business Tax exemption under the Gover­ nor’s plan. But most of the proposed business tax relief, such as removing workers’ and unemploynment compensation premiums from the taxable SBT base, will be backed by Blanchard only if an improved economy generates more revenue for the state. Likewise, the Governor has offered to de­ regulate artifical interest rate ceilings — if financial institutions contribute funds to a proposed State Strategic Investment Bank. If the Governor believes that steps such as tax relief and de­ regulation are important to the health of private en­ terprise in Michigan, why shouldn’t those ideas stand on their own merits? The Basic Flaw. Other parts of the Governor's plan mainly include additional state funds (815.4 Hulst & Son Cleaners 5 a A Name You Can Trust 00 40highyears in serving this community with quality, dependable dry cleaning.

These programs should have a higher budget priority, but state spending policies alone will nto begin to ad­ dress Michigan's business climate problems. That is the basic flaw in Governor Blanchard’s economic development proposal. It ignores the regulatory and business cost issues — issues like workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance, and prevailing wage requirements — that private job providers themselves are most concerned about. Last week I stated that economic development should not be a partisan issue. It shouldn’t be. For that reason I hope that Republicans and Democrats can work together to enact an effective economic program. Parts of the Blanchard proposal makes sense and should be approved. But they're not enough. If Governor Blanchard truly is concerned about jobs, he cannot afford to ignore those proposals which Republican lawmakers have ad­ vised. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP.

The Trojan tennis team finished their regular season very strong last week. The Trojans defeated Comstock Park 6-1 and Byron Center 7-0. The Trojans turned in their best performance of the year at the Riverview Racket Club in Grand Rapids last Saturday. Riverview was the site of the OK Blue conference tournament. It wasn’t until the last match of the day had been completed that Hudsonville finally edged the young Trojans. The tournament was really a two team race most of the way. Hudsonville and Middleville were only two points apart at day ’s end. Chris Noah won the 1st singles flight, defeating a determined Kelloggsville player in three sets of the finals. Chris lost the first set (the first of the year) but bounced back to take the second set. The third set was very close. Chris was down 4-3, but again came back to take the set and championship. Many spectators enjoyed one of the best singles finals in many years. Chris finishes the regular season with a record of 21-0. Craig Mathiesen won the 2nd singles champion­ ship. Craig has had a great season, winning regional and conference crowns. Craig had a tough draw in the first round. He drew Hudsonville, but played very well, winning in straight sets. Craig also defeated a tough Hamilton player in straight sets of the finals. Craig finishes the regular season with a record of 20-1.

Jobe Program Under Way The new Michigan Young Corps Jobs program was approved by both the House and Senate last week with some significant changes to the gover­ nor's original proposal. While I am still not overly enthusiastic about make-work jobs, I voted for this program because I believe the temporary jobs plan will have several beneficial effects. It offers short-term employment to young people and skilled laborers who have no prospects at this time, and it establishes an impor­ tant precedent by requiring able bodied young people ages 18 to 21 on general assistance to apply for these jobs. One of the important aspects of this particular piece of legislation is that for the first time, we have included some long awaited reforms in Michigan's general assistance welfare program. A coalition that included the entire house Republican caucus and several key Democrats fought for, and won, an amendment that will require all general assistance recipients between the ages of 18 and 21 to apply for the available summer jobs that will be financed by the state. If they fail to apply, they will simply lose their benefits. The entire jobs package includes 25,000 statefunded jobs and 35,000 federally-funded jobs for young people and other chronically unemployed groups. There are currently 13,000 general assistanc recipients who qualify for the Young Corps program. Not only will we get a lot of people back to work by adopting this new concept, but we will trim the general assistance rolls by weeding out those people who are capable of working, but simply don't chooe to. These jobs do have a limited life span. Now the legislature should turn all its energies toward addressing the problems that have stunted business expansion in this state. We have to reduce the cost of doing business in Michigan. We have to reform the regulations that are disincentives to in­ vestment, and we have to use vision in developing long range policies that will encourage job growth.

Troop 65 Sticks Out Wet Weekend for Equipment Display Well, Boy Scout Troop 65 of Middleville held their camp equipment display this weekend despite the cold and wet, and welcomed what little sun and clear skies that arrived. Saturday morning the Scouts raked and cleaned up the lot next to Vic's Repair, then started to set up their equipment. Vic’s Repair left the store opened, so the camp would have a bathroom and in case they needed to use elec tricity, which the scouts appreciated greatly Dick Wehterman from Troop 250, Byron Center, arrived at the campsite Saturday afternoon and showed the scouts how to do the table making and donated the wood for the tables.

Steve Evans of Middleville has to wear “many hats.” Besides his vocation as a TK teacher, Steve is a band leader and folk singer. Now, his interest in soc­ cer has prompted him to qualify as a United States Soccer Federation state referee. Steve has been involved with the Middleville American Youth Soccer Organization program since its beginning as Regional Chief Referee. He’s been interested in soccer for several years, being a big fan of the PBS program “Soccer Made in Germany’’ and the World Cup telecasts. He chose to develop the refereeing aspect of the game because of the basic simplicity of the rules of the game and because of the sport’s general philosophy towards respect for the referee. He has enjoyed working in the local AYSO program because its goals encourage par­ ticipation from every player and a de-emphasis on winning-at-alllcosts and standings. To prepare for advanced training as a referee, Steve participated in a clinic held at Oakland University in Rochester last summer. This 3-day camp was led by a world renowned referee and in­ structor from England, Ken Aston. Classroom training combined with field work to develop skills. In January Steve began a training course at Kalamazoo Valley community college led by Rod Smithson, a Scotsman who is one of only two nationally certified referees in Michigan. The eightweek course followed an in-depth study of the laws of the game and concluded with a state certification test. The physical fitness portion of the requirement took place on April 23 at Calvin College. It included tests for endurance - 2400 meter run in under 12 minutes - speed, 50 meter dash, and maneuverability runs. With a successful written exam, physical fitness test and the experience of more than 80 youth level games. Steve was able to qualify for USSF referee badge. Soccerfest Thanks The organizers of the third annual AYSO Soccerfest, held May 21. wish to thank the community for helping to make it a successfhl event. Coming in for special recognition is Elaine Northrup for doing such a good job of calling people and to the Middle Villa Inn for generously donating gas for our coke machines in the concession stand.

June 13, voters in the Thornapple Kellogg school district have an opportunity to renew or reject a 4.5 millage issue and to elect two people to the Board of Education. The millage in question is a renewal of 4.5 mills for operating purposes which expired with the 1982 tax levy vear. If renewed, it would run for three years (19834 985). The school district currently has 18.5 mills extra voted for operating purposes, along with the 8 mills that are allocated. In addition, the property owners pay some on the debt each year. In the 1982 taxable year, TK Schools levied a total of 37.64 mills (for operation and debt retirement). This summer the school district will be collecting half of its property taxes from July 1 to September 15. The remainder will be collected at the normal winter tax period. Two seats are also open on the Board of Education. Incumbents Robert Courts and Stephen Elies are running to succeed themselves, and are opposed by Blanche Munjoy. The two top vote­ getters will be elected. The voting in the Middleville area will take place at the high school auditorium; voters in the former Freeport District will cast their ballot at the Freeport Village Hall. The polls are open from 7 a m. to 8 p.m. Participation Key to Booster’s Future A strong, energetic, community-supported school system makes the back-bone of a good town? No, this isn’t a true or false question on a final exam in high school. It’s a statement and question that is posed to each and every resident of the Thornapple Kellogg School District. For two years, we have been building and nur­ turing a very important link between the school and the town, known as the T.K. Booster Club. At its beginning, the auditorium was filled with eager, en­ thusiastic people, who wanted the school to be able to provide both the scholastics and the extra- It’s Cheaper . . . .... tn the End! A man too stingy to take his hometown paper sent his son to borrow a copy from a neighbor. In his haste, the boy knocked over four hives of bees and as a result was badly stung. When his son’s cries reached his father’s ears, the fond parent started to aid but failed to notice a barbed-wire fence which he ran into, ruining a $4 pair of pants and cutting himself up con­ siderably. The family cow took advantage of the hole in the fence by getting into the field and killing herself eating green com Hearing the noise, the wife ran out, upset ting a four-gallon can of rich cream into a small basket containing four kittens, drowning the whole family. In her hurry, she also dropped a >40 set of false teeth and broke them. The baby, who was left in the house, crawled through the spilled cream into the parlor and ruined a $50 carpet. During the excitement, the oldest daughter ran off with the hired man and the goat broke his chain and chewed the tails off four shirts on the clothesline. Moral: Subscribe to your hometown paper. It 's cheaper in the end. • This is a reprint of a column written 45 years ago by editor Adam Zuber in the Wells County Free Press in Fessenden, North Dakota. The name of the column was special in itself — Heterangenea. curricular program that everyone in the community felt wa? the best of both worlds. That year, a large group of people raised in excess of $55,000 to keep these programs going. Last year, an added millage passed, and we, the Booster Club, lost a large chunk of that enthusiastic group. We felt it was very important to keep a club such as the boosters alive. By raising additional funds, we could add to the already very tight budget that the school was experiencing. By working the ticket gates and providing volunteer workers in other areas, we would be saving the school funds. This year’s booster club has provided basketballs for the 5th and 6th grade program, helped with the Jr. High cheerleaders uniforms, gave money to J. Sanford’s Middle School Special Ed program. We have provided golf jackets to the golf team, con­ tributed to the Close-Up organization, provided Mr. Nash’s band with half the money needed to invest in a new electronic piano. We provided half the wages for an additional coach for the large wrestling team. Throughout the year, we have given half of all concession money, run by the boosters, to the Athletic fund, gave $2500.00 to provide new uniforms for Girls and Boys Basket­ ball, Girls Track, Girls Softball and Wrestling. We are raising monies now, through patron ads, to get the yearbook out of debt and allow it to be sold at a lower price. By the end of the year, we hope to be providing the Business Department of our high school monies to purchase a moat needed business machine. All this money has been raised through such projects as Do Da Day, football, wrestling and track concession, International Food Fest, bake sales, doll house raffle, and sale of school spirit jackets and miscellaneous other spirit sales Workers for these projects and workers for tickets and doorkeepers were of a premium nature this year We do not wish to see this club disband, but we must have more people to run an active and productive club. Sixty people, broken up into three groups, could carry on this club and its ideals to its greatest potential. Won’t you be one of these active people. Please come to the June 13th Booster Meeting and listen to the explanation of how we can keep this good thing going and we all can put in a minimal amount of hours and reap the joys it gives by doing something for somebody!

They also shared Valentines and sang songs for senior ctftkinion, Family Vision Care Contact Lenses in the New Caledonia Village Center 9361 Broadmoor Phone 891-9245 citizens at Lincoln Meadows. The troop started plants from seeds, worked on Brownie “B’s” and beads. They earned the Aquatics patch and topped their year off with a family swim at the school pool. Barb Richards' Brownie Troop 15 adopted Dorothy Bonneville as their grandmother. In December they trimmed her tree and made her a lap quilt for Christmas. January the troop had their fir­ st cookout and at that time prepared baked goods for their mother-daughter tasting tea. In April, the troop buddied up with Junior Troop 206 and atten­ ded an all-day “mock camping" event. The girls learned various outdoor skills, made crafts and prepared dinner outside that day. Although it rained in the morning, the event was a success. Barb Aley lent the use of her basement until the sun shone and then the girls hiked back to the property of Mr. and Mrs. William Schleh, who very generously let us use their land. Thanks again. Of course the event would not have been a success if it were not for the parents who volunteered to teach the girls different skills. Troop 15 took the new skills they learned to camp May 14th, attending a council planned camping weekend. Troop will combine with Deb Custer’s Jr. Troop 206 to form one troop for summer fun. The girls will be working on badges and going on outings. Besides attending the “mock camping” event. Troop 206 spent a Saturday earning their “Hor­ selovers” badge at Al and Pat Allison’s stables. Horse trainer. Brice Custer, demonstrated how to saddle and bridle a horse, its general daily care in grooming and feeding, also good bam behavior. In March, the troop invited mothers over with their little ones to discuss their thoughts and feelings about being parents — requirement for MIDDLEVILLE CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH 708 West Main Street Morning Worship Service 10:00am.

PRAIRIE SKETCHES With LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE Our prayers and thoughts are with the families of Blanche Cridler this week as they have observed the celebration of her passing from this life to the next. We will all miss Blanche. She belonged to many organizations, so touched many lives through them and through her family. I especially enjoyed her ready wit and her ability to create a laugh and a smile were none were before. Out of town family members attending the funeral and visiting at the Bob Wenger home in­ cluded Uncle Rg Cridler of Lowell (who returned Thursday night from a trip to SanFrancisco), Uncle Kenneth Smith of Mulliken. Rod and Joyce Yates and daughters Susan and Mark and famiy of Massachusetts, Judy of Minneapolis and Katy of East Lansing. How great it is for a family to be able to draw strength from each other at these times! The Rodney Bracys went to Kingston to attend the graduation of Rod’s niece, Karyn, who was valedictorian of her class. Amy VanRhee spent the weekend with her friend, Shana Holcomb, who is attending the summer session at Grand Valley. Friday night Jim and Kathie Wheeler and family went to a birthday party for Jim’s dad. Bob Wheeler. Roseann Steffes had open house for Jerry and Beth on Sunday for their graduation.

Mr. and Mrs. Harold Terpstra were Sunday din­ ner guests at the Phil Bender home. letter the Ben­ ders attended graduation open house for Bo Bloom. The Mike Bremers were at Festival '83 Saturday morning long enough for Brett to be on the youth stage with his fellow gymnastics students for a short performance. Then it was up to Muskegon for an open house honoring Katy’s sister and husband who were married the week before in Pennsylvania. Dave and Sue Enders and boys enjoyed a few hours at Festival 83 on Saturday also. On Sunday, they, with Dean Petersen and Liz Taylor had their first picnic of the season at Gun Lake. Tom and I were at Festival 83 Saturday long enough to catch some of the small fry gymnastic routines and have a sausage-and-saurkraut-on-a bun for lunch. Then it was up to Muskegon for a few hours to the open house for Katy Bremer’s sister and husband. In the evening we were back in Grand Rapids at the home of Glenn and Debbie Muller for a surprise birthday party honoring his mom, Fran Muller. (You notice, Fran, I didn’t say which birth­ day!) If a poet right now should ask “What is so rare as a day in June?” — we would probably say “A warm one! ” Hang on • we’ve got to live each day as we get it.

Sunshine smiles radiated from the faces of the fourth graders as they rotated through learning experiences ranging from Early American social science and science activities like baking corn bread in the wood burning stove at the Bristol Inn, to observing and mapping along nature trails, to identifying sources of man-made sound effecting the balance of nature and working on the physical and mental well being of man, to physical education development through archery and gaining.

Members to Receive American Farmer Degree The Caledonia F.F.A. Chapter has once again broken tradition! Next November, four members of the chapter will join over 450 fellow FFA members from across the country on stage during National FFA Convention in Kansas City. Each will receive their American Farmer Degree - the highest recognition offered by the National FFA Association awarded to only one tenth of one per­ cent of the organization’s 485,000 members. Caledonia members Jim Connors, Larry Fink­ beiner, Pat Fitzsimmons and Paul Meyer are among 14 American Farmer degree recipients from Michigan. Their achievement represents the culmination of seven years of FFA membership, leadership activities, and career accomplishments. Jim Connors, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Con­ nors of Caledonia, is a junior at Michigan State University majoring in Agricultural Education. He is employed at the Michigan Crop Improvement Association in Lansing and is currently serving a summer internship in sales with the Northrup King Company. Jim served as a chapter, regional and state FFA officer and was the state winner in the FFA Agricultural Sales and Service Proficiency Award in 1980. Larry Finkbeiner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Finkbeiner of Caledonia, is currently farming in par­ tnership with his parents and brother, John, on the family dairy operation, Twin Pines Farm east of Caledonia. He was the 1981 state winner of the FFA Agricultural Mechanics Proficiency Award and received an additional gold state Proficiency Award in Home and Farmstead Improvement. Pat Fitzsimmons, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Fit­ zsimmons of Alto, is a sales representative for Snyder Farm Supply in Alto. He was named FFA Star State Agribusinessman in 1980, and was the state and national Central Region winner in the FFA Agricultural Sales and Service Proficiency Award in 1981. Pat currently resides in Middleville with his wife, Sue. Paul Meyer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Meyer of Dutton, is a junior at Michigan State University, majoring in Dairy Science. The family dairy operation, ROD-ER-DIC Farm, milks registered Holsteins, and sells breeding stock. Paul was the 1981 state winner of the FFA Dairy Proficiency Award, was a member of last year’s national win­ ning MSU Dairy Judging team, and is currently serving as president of the MSU Dairy Club. Voters in the Thomapple Kellogg School District renewed a four-mill operational issue on Monday and returned two incumbents to the Board of Education. A total of 790 voted in the election that saw the millage issue pass 524 to 247. Robert Courts and Steve Elies were returned to the board for fouryear terms. A breakdown of the voting, by precinct, is as follows: Middleville Freeport 4K Y s 35 Yes 35 No 41 36 Blanche Munjoy 367 40 A total of 714 voted in the Middleville precinct, while 76 voted in the Freeport precinct. Courts led the candidate field with 505 votes, followed by Elies with 502. Munjoy received 407 votes. TK to Borrow for Maintenance At the June 6, 1983 meeting of the Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education, the Board approved an Energy Conservation and Maintenance Program, at the cost of $409,000. This money will be borrowed in the form of selling bonds. These bonds will be paid back over a period of ten years. The money will be used for energy­ saving projects and maintenance work that the Board felt was critical. The energy-saving part of the project is to be paid back out of savings. It is predicted that this will take six years - after that period of time the District will be saving more than the loan and interest cost. The rest of the project (roof and doors in the High School) was necessary and this was the only way available to finance the work. As has been stated many times, building and other maintenance has not been completed the last few years because of lack of funds. This is beginning to catch up with us.

Bluegrass at Charlton A hand-clapping, toe-tapping fiddle tune will open the ninth annual Thornapple Bluegrass Music Festival Sunday, Jun 19 at Charlton Park in Barry County. The park’s historic village provides a nostalgic background for the five-hour show which begins at 11—30 a.m. Performing their special brands of bluegrass showmanship on the park’s outdoor stage will be Sweet Com of Kalamazoo, Footloose of Ann Ar­ bor,The Williams Family of Byron Center, Home Grown Grass of Lansing, and Iowa Rose ’n riff raff of the Grand Rapids area. The musical format will include a comprehensive sampling of bluegrass sounds, including traditional bluegrass music featuring all acoustic string in­ struments as well as some swing and old-timey music. "This year’s line-up is one of the best we’ve ever had.” said park director John Patterson. “And since bluegrass music is traditionally American, it fits in very well with our historic village and the culture from the 1850-1900 period.” The Park has some 15 buildings restored to the original character of a typical midwest agricultural community of a century ago. which will be open to visitors during the festival. Folks who attend the bluegrass show usually bring along lawn chairs and blankets to relax on the village green as they listen to the music. Home Grown Grass will start the show with traditional tunes. It concludes with Sweet Corn’s fast paced style of bluegrass and old timey music. There is a $5 admission fee for adults and 50 cents for children under 12. Preschoolers are free Proceeds of the festival will help meet operational expenses of the park, a non-profit institution ad­ ministered by the Barry Coiunty Parks and Recreation Commission.

A few strawberries may have trickled onto the market earlier, but berries won't be coming on the market in volume until June 10 or so. Once warmer weather arrives, the volume will pick up quickly.

People are realizing the need to record their wishes on funeral services for themselves. They recognize that this takes away the difficult burden of decision making later during the hour of need and assures the family of doing the right things within proper budgets. For some time, this funeral home has recognized the needs and desires of thinking persons to plan ahead. I have developed ways of assisting those who wish to make arrangements in advance Our funeral home has quite a lot of families who have so recorded their plans and wishes with us. They appreciate the opportunity to make these wishes known. Most people have definite ideas about the ser­ vices they wish for themselves; specific details such as the minister, the music and scripture readings, flowers, costs, etc. They don’t have to pre-plan their funerals, but they know it’s a good feeling when it’s done and the family won’t have to worry about it! There are three reasons to pre-plan your funeral Economy — You can save money when you pre­ plan by stipulating only as much in service and mer­ chandise as you wish Personal Choices — You can choose your own clergyman, music, scripture and the kind of service, down to the smallest detail Inner Security — It is a weight off your mind, knowing that your arrangements are complete, and the costs will not be a burden to your family. In invite you to visit or call about pre-planning your funeral service. There are no costs or obligations, and you don t even have to pre-pay your funeral to have your wishes made known.

Shown (from left) are Joshua Robinson, grandson of Maureen Windes Robinson of Holt, Marie. Jason Windes of counselor’s corner BY BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counselor The Struggle for Control People do considerable maneuvering to fulfill their needs. The need to be in control — in control of self and of one’s own behavior — is very common, as is the need for a certain amount of control over situations and over other people. Consciously or subconsciously, each member of the family (or of any group) struggles to survive as an individual within that group. Surviving means having a measure of control. Early in life, for example, the baby discovers cer­ tain methods that will bring desired results. Crying may become an effective device for controlling other members of the family. Some people go on crying forever, literally or symbolically. When a device ceases to obtain results, it will be abandoned for a more rewarding manipulative scheme. The infant may discover that gurgling, cooing, and smiling bring greater rewards than crying. This maneuver is so successful, in fact, that some people do not outgrow it and velvet-touch their way through life as professional manipulators. There are other teenhiques. Temper tantrums, especially in public, are unnerving and likely to em­ barrass adults into giving the child his way in order to end an upsetting scene. The adult who flies into a rage is uding a child's weapon to deal with situations that are threatening. It is not unusual for a teenager to comment “I cant talk things over with my dad because he always gets mad. Even Mom’s afraid of him.” The “silent treatment” is a favorite among both adults and teenagers. “I can’t get a thing out of him,” the parents will say. “I know something’s hugging him, but I don’t know what.” Or the teenager will say, “I don’t know what’s bothering my mother, but she hasn’t spoken to me for days.” Physical symptoms are among the most effective control devices. The child discovers early that illness keeps him home from school, often with fringe benefits such as extra attention, games. TV and other entertainment, relief from work and responsibility. It becomes very difficult to deter­ mine when illness is purely physical and when it is complicated by psychological factors. Many children and adults make continual use of psychosomatic disorders as a means of escape from problems, usually without realizing that they are doing so Sometimes punishment is used as a method of control. Getting poor grades in school is often used by the teenager as punishment against parents. School achievement is one of the few areas of a teenager s life over which adults have little control. Grownups may plead, nag, bribe, punish, but nthing compels the child to get good grades. Threats work well for some family members as a weapon of control. “If you don’t shape up, we’ll send you to a girls’ school.” “If you don’t let me date Marcus, I’ll run away.” “If you don’t quit drinking, I’ll divorce you.” And excuses are old standbys for everyone. “My Oconomowoc, Jamie Notebloom of Hastings, Brandon Dexter of Hastings, grandson of Kathy Windes. Mark Notebloom and his mother Koleen of Hastings. Jason. Jamie and Mark are grandsons of Duane Windes.___ alarm didn’t go off,” “I had a headache.” “I lost my homework assignment.” "Grownups use alcohol, so why shouldn't I smoke grass?” Delinquent behavior is an extreme form of attem­ pting to manage the people in one’s life. It may be a cry for help, its message some variation of: There is something missing in my life - probably love. I don't know how to relate to other people. I have no control over my life. Look at me and do something about me! Everyone uses psychological devices for con­ trolling others and for handling difficult situations. Some methods are healthy, some damaging. Teenagers, more often than adults and children, may resort to drastic behavior, because adolescence is an unsettling time. It is a time of needing to “grow up” and yet knowing how to do so gracefully. Choice and Consequences A major problem in dealing with young people is getting them to look ahead at the possible results og given actions and then living with the results of their choices. Few people walk into a store and buy an item without first looking at the price tag. A child should be taught the habit of figuring out how much a certain action may cost and then deciding whether he is prepared to pay that much. Ray, a high school student, comes to the Guidan­ ce Office and announces he is fed up with his parents and has decided to move out of his home. The coun­ selor can agree with him that the home environment is not good and encourage him to move. Or he can tell Ray to shape up and tough it out because he isn’t old enough to leave home. The wise adult will do neither, but will help Ray examine what would happen if he moved. Whatever choices a person makes, it is imperative that he learn to accept the consequences of those choices, even when he is very young and making relatively simple decisions. This will help him accept responsibility for his behavior as he matures. Looking for an Independent Agent? One name says it best.

TK Athletic Dept Has Successful^ Well-rounded Year The Middleville Athletic Department has just completed what the coaches feel has been another good year because of excellent student participation and a great many teams with winning records. The highlight of the year was the advancement of the basketball team to the semi-finals in the State tour­ nament. The athletic program begins on a limited basis for the 5th graders and carries through the middle school to a full program in the high school. Fifth and sixth grade intramural basketball, with ap­ proximately 120 students taking part, is sponsored. The middle school offers wrestling for boys and basketball and track for both boys and girls. Over 200 middle school students take part on nine dif­ ferent inter-scholastic teams. The 7th Grade boys basketball team won the league championship, and the junior high girls team won the league track championship. On the high school level, 24 teams conposed of over 425 members participated in inter­ scholastic competition. The football teams totalling 90 members were the largest. In the entire program, over 750 team members engaged in various sport activities. The Athletic Department sponsored numerous events during the past year that helped to enhance the finances as well as the prestige of Middleville’s athletic program. This year, TK held the Girls District Basketball tournament, a Junior High basketball tournament, the Barry County track meet, a Co-ed Invitational Track meet, and the Class C State Regional track meet. Next year, many of these events will again be hosted. The State Cross Country Regional and the State Wrestling Tour­ nament have already been assigned to Middleville by the M.H.S.A.A. A big share of this program's success was made possible by the help received from the TK Boosters, staff members, and the people of the community. They contributed a tremendous amount of time, energy, hard work and money . TK Schools are providing a w ell-rounded athletic program for the students of this community for a minimum of tax dollars. The Thornapple Kellogg Athletic Department feels that the sports program is one that taxpayers can be proud to support.

Middleville. Michigan IN TOUCH" WITH BOB BENDER STATE REPRESENTATIVE • 88TH HOUSE DISTRICT A bill that would remove inequities in existing special farm plate legislation and at the same time provide farmers with greater options at harvest time has been co-sponsored by State Representative Bob Bender. House Bill 4581, introduced last week, would revise the current Special Farm Plate Bill and provide greater flexibility for farmers requiring seasonal farming permits. "Essentiallv, this bill seeks to achieve two major goals," Rep. Bender said. "First, it would extend to all farmers who meet the criteria the opportunity to obtain a special $15 registration plate which can be used only for the purpose of transporting farm crops between the field where produced and the place of storage." Under present law, only those farmers whose vehicles meet the restrictive design criteria may purchase the special farm plates, while other far­ mers, using conventional farm vehicles, are ex­ cluded by this law. "This bill gives equity to all persons engaged in farming operations rather than just a select few," Bender stated. "This legislation is by Michigan Farm Bureau and by law enforcement agencies who have long sought a better clarification of this law," Bender said. The second major provision of the bill contains language which allows farmers, upon request, to ob­ tain a special registration valid for three or more months for a farm vehicle used exclusively in con­ nection with farming operations. Present law enables farmers who qualify to purchase farm plates for durations of six months or a full year. “The problem with this is that many farmers usin^ vehicles for seasonal farming only, don't require permits for more than three months, while many others require up to seven months to complete seasonal operation." Bender said. “This meant that they either purchase a second 6-month permit for the one extra month it was needed, or operated illegally the extra month. ’ ’ Rep. Bender added that farmers issued special seasonal registrations will be charged at the rate of l/10th per month of the regular farm fee (or 74 cents per hundredweight). For a vehicle weighing 10,000 lbs., this means the rate would be $74 annually, or $7.40 per 30-day period over the minimum three month period. Bender cautioned that the proposed legislation doesn't involve farm vehicles for which . commercial plates are required. The new Farm Bill has been referred to the House Transportation Committee.

Library Offers Introduction to Area First Graders According to Kent County Library’s Children’s Services coordinator. Mary Frydrych. this year’s first grade graduates have a lot more to look for­ ward to than just su mmer vacation. The Kent County Library’ system is inviting all of the recent first grade graduates in the area, and their parents, to attend a special celebration ap­ propriately titled. First Grade Round-Up. This one hour celebration will include a scary troll puppet show and a live appearance by that favorite first grade storybook character, Amelia Bedelia! There will be take home surprises, too. First Grade RoundUp will be presented at the Caledonia Branch. 240 Emmons, at 2:00 o’clock this afternoon (Thursday, June 16.) "Our goal.” says Frydrych. "is to introduce every first grader in the county to the treasure house that the public library is. We have literally thousands of books, records and magazines just waiting for these brand new readers to take home and enjoy Kent County Library’s First Grade Round-Up also encourages library card registration to continue and increase the child's newly acquired reading skills. "During the past year, these children have begun to conquer the printed word — they have learned to decode our language and make sense of letters on the page. It’s a staggering accomplish­ ment which needs to be encouraged over summer months.” ROVING REPORTER With HAZEL McCAUL Warm enough now and we need rain too.

Verlinde, son of Jim and Sue Verlinde, Edward Street, Middleville, credits his academic success to the support of his family, friends and teachers. His advice to incoming freshmen is "Don’t concentrate on just academics. Get involved with extracurricular activities in school. They can give you the chance to deal with people and learn about yourself. While in high school, Jim played football and baseball, and kept stats for the basketball team. He also served as student council president, editor of the school journalism team, and worked as a sports writer for the Sun and News. Verlinde says he tried to take a well-rounded class selection; in his senior year he studied College English, Government, Computer Science, Physics and Modern Math. He has been accepted into the Michigan State University Honors College where he plans to study engineering. However, Verlinde says he will “keep an open mind” for a few years, before deciding on which field of engineering he would like to pursue. Each high school principal from around the stSv1 was asked by the Detroit Free Press to nominate one student for The All-State Academic Team. Nominees were chosen for a combination of test scores and grade point average, which were backed up by ex­ tracurricular and community activities. All nominations went to a committee of principals selected by the Michigan Association of Secondary School Principals, representing all sixes of schools in all areas of the state.

Members present: Tony Mclain, Kevin Briggs. Larry Seger, Linda Hoffman, Kay Noah, Gerald Stein, Pat Thatcher. Sharon Kalee. Administrators present: Henry Dugan, Joe Sanford, Ron Schreer, William Rich, Gerald Page. Parent members present: Ann Baughman, Celeste Wolverton, Candy Hoisted. Mrs. Barton. Students present: Lynette DeGroote. A report was given on the needs assessment sur­ vey of the faculty. This survey concerned five areas that the Curriculum Coiuncil has designated as possible areas of study for the coming years. The report indicated that four of the areas designated Communications, Science, Math and Reading - were very close in total points. A discussion was held in how to select one of these areas for indepth study in the coming year. It was suggested that we break into small groups. It was also suggested that we discuss this as a committee of the whole or one group. It was decided to deal with this subject as a total group. After discussion of the pros and cons of each group, it was narrowed to basically two groups - Communications and Science. Again, after much discussion, it was decided by a majority of the Curriculum Council that the discipline of Science would be studied indepth during the coming year. Discussion followed what would be studied in the Science curriculum, who would do the study, how the study was to be done, and what the time limit would be. What: 1) examine what we are doing in com­ parison to our present objectives, 2) discuss the overall philosophy, 3) study of the scope and sequence through K-12, 4) vertical articulation, 5) The final result should be to develop updated K-12 Curriculum , report back to the Curriculum Council for recommendation to the Board of Education. Who: Decision was made to involve teachers, ad­ ministrators, parents and students. The following people were selected to be part of the study commit­ tee: Joe Sanford, Middle School principal; Celeste Wolverton, PTA member; Kevin Briggs, Science Department, High School; Kay Noah, Elementary teacher; Ann Baughman, PTA representative; Pat Thatcher, elementary teacher; Bill Rich, chairman of the group and elementary principal; Larry Seger, Middle School science teacher; Toni Owen, High School student. How: Some suggestions were made as to how this group would proceed, with the idea that they would be free to develop any methods of their own. Suggestions are as follows: 1) Release time for people to make visitations to other schools or areas, 2) Reports and discussions with individual faculties by buildings, 3) visitations to other schools, 4) at­ tendance at workshops, 5) visiting colleges and universities, 6) examine test data that is available. 7) Receive community input through PT As and other groups, 8) Utilize all the facilities at the In­ termediate School District, and 9) again, review and discuss our present objectives. Time: A timeline was discussed, iwo ‘ detinites were placed in the timeline. (1) that this committee should be ready to report to the Curriculum Council their plan of action by the October meeting and (2) the Committee should be ready to make their final report to the Curriculum Council in February 1984. It was moved by Joe Sanford and seconded by Tony McLain that we adopt the following math tex­ tbooks for 6th, 7th and 8th grades, and that the Curriculum Council recommend the adoption of these texts to the Board of Education: Sixth Grade. Macmillan 6th arade Mathematics Textbook; Seventh Grade; MacMillan 7th Grade Mathematics Txtbook: Eighth Grade; Harcourt. Brace & Jovanovitz 8th Grade Mathematics Textbook. The sixth grade textbook is not that which was approved by the Curriculum Council (Scott Fores man I. At the time this was brought to the Curriculum Council, the Council strongly recom­ mended that the sixth grade look at the same text that the seventh grade was adopting This was done, a very little difference was determined, so the sixth grade textbook being recommended by the teachers is Macmillan, the same series as the seventh grade. Gerald Page, Chairman Miss Kelly Young, age 16, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Young of Caledonia, has been selected to compete in the 1983 Michigan Miss T.E.E.N. Pageant to be held at the Kalamazoo Center Hilton Inn, Kalamazoo, the weekend of July 1-4. This pageant is the official statewide finals for the Miss T.E.E.N.

Women’s singles will be played August 3 and 4, all at 6 p.m. How many people actually look forward to growing old? How many break out into a cold sweat when the word retirement is spoken? I suspect many of us have ambiguous feelings about aging. Consider the alternatives. Either you continue to grow old or you die. Some choice, huh? The key is to enjoy your old age, plan for it and do things you never had time for before. Many people fear retirement and old age because they don’t know what to expect. Questions such as • what will I do with all my free time? Will I be able to afford the lifestyle I’m used to? and will I be able to maintain my home? Most experts agree that with some planning, physical, financial and psychological, these questions can be answered before you become a senior citizen. If the groun­ dwork is laid in your twenties, thirties and forties, adjustment to your senior years should be much easier. It’s difficult to attend to planning far in advance. In the fkst place, few know what to plan for and fur­ thermore most people think they have unlimited time to plan for their senior years. One of the best books to direct people with these questions is Strategies for the Second Half of Life by Peter Weaver. He offers advice on work, finances and health. Don’t wait until you are over sixty to read this one! Another good source of information is America's Old Age Crisis by Stephen Crystal. He does his best to convince readers how unfairly older people have been treated by the government and by families. He makes several suggestions concerning new health plans and government funding plans. An especially enlightening book, dealing especially with the psychological aspects of aging is Successful Aging by Olga Knopf, M.D. Dr. Knopf wrote this book at eighty-five. Her insights cover such topics as fear of death, physical aging, in­ terests of older people and how to deal with other senior citizens in the community. How to Retire Successfully by Sherley Ashton answers questions that direct your retirement. Questions such as: What government groups to con­ tact for information, Why investigate trader parks and nursing homes, and What aid is available through the government? Finally, I offer some titles of books that should in­ spire you. Hopefully you can adjust your attitude (if adjustment is needed) to become optimistic about your old age. Judith Wax has written a book en­ titled Starting in the Middle. She discusses how she began her writing career in her middle forties and became successful at it. For many years she had put off such a career. She points out that many things such as a new job and marriage can be accomplished very well in your middle and late years. If you really want to be inspired read Daisy, Daisy by Christian Miller. Her dream always was to ride a bike across the United States. When her children were grown and they had children of their own, she decided that there was adequate time to fulfill her dream. She doesn’t consider her age a deterrent. Even if you refuse to consider making plans for your own retirement, consider those of others. Perhaps you have a parent, grandparent or special friend who is approaching old age. By planning and understanding, this age can be rewarding and satisfying. I know I hope to be a senior citizen some day.

Michigan I June 23, IMS Caution Prevents Spoilage in Home Canning Food preservation methods, particularly home canning methods, have changed considerably since Grandma’s day. Today’s home canning recommen­ dations are the result of extensive research and are known to provide safe and high quality products. Grandma’s canning techniques can still be found in old cookbooks, however. These older food preparation books and cookbooks could contain unreliable and potentially dangerous canning methods. One improper canning method sometimes seen in old cookbooks or pamphlets is oven canning. This method is not recommended for two reasons: food does not reach temperatures high enough to prevent spoilage, and the jars can explode. Open kettle canning is recommended only for jellies and jams. Open kettle canned foods are sim­ ply packed into sterilized jars and sealed without processing. This method is not recommended HAIR CUTTING and STYLING MEN, WOMEN & CHILD HAIRCUTS $5.00 UT&CURL SALON Or T NIGHT APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE / CALL 795 9787 'Jeen Sonner /4700 Middleville Rd. because spoilage organisms can contaminate the food when it is transferred from the kettle to the jar. Without processing, spoilage organisms may grow, multiply and release toxins in the food. The result is a product that may spoil andor cause food-borne illness, or food poisoning. Jams and jellies can be open kettle canned because bacteria cannot grow well in foods that contain large amounts of sugar. Home canning problems cannot be blamed en­ tirely on old canning instructions. With the advent of new kitchen appliances, new unreliable food preservation techniques were also invented. Microwave ovens, dishwashers and slow cookers are unsafe for canning because they cannot heat foods to temperatures high enough to prevent spoilage. Also, they are simply not designed for canning foods. Proper canning methods for low - and high-acid foods differ. Acid foods - including fruits, tomatoes and pickled vegetables, can be processed in a boiling water bath. But, low-acid foods, including vegetables, meats and combinations of low-acid and high-acid foods must be processed in a pressure canner. Water bath processing, no matter now long it’s done, cannot heat foods hotter than 213*f. It takes 240* to destroy the spores of the organism that causes botulism poisoning. This canning season, place Grandma’s cookbook on a special shelf and follow updated canning in­ structions. For information on reliable sources of canning in­ structions. contact your local Extension home economist. To help you learn the most up-to-date mtehods, Ottawa, Allegan and Kent Home Economists are planning a Master Canner series. The master canner takes each participant through a hands-on experien­ ce of using the pressure cooker, boiling water, drying, and jams and jellies. Classes will be in Wayland July 5. 7, 12 and 14 and in Grand Rapids July 12. 14, 19 and 21. Cost is $25 and you should register a week in advance.

MICHIGAN 5 counselor’s corner BY BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counselor The Supportive Parent When a person feels cut down he is likely to behave in a negative way. When he is built up he will probably react positively. A teenager is not motivate to improve if he feels that he is being at­ tacked as a person. He will be diminished by such comments as :“I don't know what possessed me to become a parent!” “You arc driving me crazy. “Why can’t you be like Susie?” “You’ve given me nothing but trouble.” The teenager is struggling to be an individual: he will panic if he thinks someone is trying to “program” him. If the adult is to help him learn ap­ propriate behavior, he must do so without trying to make him fit a preconceived model. Sandra says she likes the way her father handles discipline. "He makes me feel as if I’m pretty great.” she explains. “For instance, he will say. "Staying out so late last night without letting Us know where you were just isn’t like you Sandy. You are usually a responsible person, and you do have consideration for people’s feelings." Sandra says this makes her feel that her parents appreciate her and like the kind of person she is, although they sometimes don’t like the things she does. “We want you to be yourself,” a mother told her teenage daughter, "but it’s no fun around here any more since you’ve decided to be negative about everything.” The girl showed no sign of being impressed by her mother’s comment, but a few months later the mother noted a measurable change in her daughter’s attitudes. “All of a sudden it’s fun again. Are you feeling better about things, Trudy?” she asked. "Ph, I just decided it’s no big deal being mad all the time,” Trudy answered. The significant aspect of this incident is that the parent recognized the improvement and commented on it. Teenagers feel it’s futile to change their behavior when no one seems to notice. Comments from one guidance office conference records include the following: "You know, my sister and I don’t fight any more, but my parents haven’t even noticed that we’re getting along.” “I quit coming in late and night and being truant from classes, but my parents haven’t said a thing about it.” “No matter how hard I try to please my mom, she just finds something else to nag me about. A parent who continually picks at his children may be disturbed about some other aspect of his life which he can’t handle, and the children, because of their helplessness, become scapegoats for the paren­ ts’ frustrations. Such children may, in turn, seek a scapegoat for their frustrations, and the results may be delinquent or unacceptable behavior. PRE-INVENTORY SALE Sllttnds June 29th.

SEASONAL SAVINGS! off CHRISTIANS IN THE CALEDONIA VILLAGE CENTRE HOURS: Mon., Tues., Fri., Sat.-10-5:30; Wed., Thurs. 10-8:00 CLASSIFIED ADS CAN BUY OR SELL CALL 795-3345 FOR THE NEXT ISSUE Visit Rockford BY Lillian Schultz On June 10,11 Caledonia and 9 Middleville senior citizens from Lincoln Meadows went by bus for a trip to Rockford with coordinator Sara Colburn and bus driver Carol Diefenbaker. This is the time of the annual Festival and a hot day. We started with a visit to the Little Red Shoe House outlet store, then walked to Squire s Square. First stop was the “Old Mill” for some of their luscious sandwiches, tasty bean soup, home made bread and mile high lemon pie. After lunch we walked and visited many of the 45 shops on the Square. With the sun soaring over us getting pretty warm, we noticed a large tent with many chairs under it and took advantage by sitting down to wait for 1:30 to come when there was a program of slimnastics. We left at 2:30 for our bus trip home and soon found our favorite House of Flavors to refresh us all. Arrived in Caledonia at 3:45 p.m. Our Middleville group who came along were Leo Dionne. Louise Miller, Mildred Cook, Florence Owens, Edith Smelker, Edna Heaven. Luella Reed. They enjoyed the trip. Another person who has never gone on our trips wasRuth Shook, mother of our bus driver and a senior citizen now. See all the fun you have been missing. Isn’t it great? Thanks to Sara and Carol for a great job. Hope to see you on our next trip. Next potluck will be July 11 in the board room with Bingo in the afternoon. Aid Touches Many Over 6,000 Barry County residents receive Social Security benefits each month according to Robert Fleminger, Social Security manager in Grand Rapids. This includes 717 Middleville residents. Each month aout $2 million is paid to Barry County residents receiving Social Security, Fleminger said. Of that amount, $223,000 monthly is received by residents of Middleville. In Michigan there are 1,360,000 people receiving Social Security checks. Their combined checks total over $441 million each month, Fleminger said. Nationally 36 million people receive Social Security benefits totaling over $13 billion each mon­ th. These figures people who receive the three major benefit types paid by Social Security which are: retirement benefits for people 62 and over, Sur­ vivors benefits for widows, widowers and children, Disability benefits for those under 65 who are totally disabled and have worked recently under Social Security. The figures also represent payments to persons dependent on retired or disabled workers who in­ clude: Wives or husbands age 62 or over or at any age with a child under age 16 living with them, and Children under age 18 or age 19 if still in high school. “As you can see Social Security touches the lives of many people,’’ Fleminger said. "It protects the incomes of the vast majority of people against the most serious risks that could disrupt normal sources of economic support. ’ ’ Dr. Anderson SALUTES May PATIENTS OF THE MONTH" TONYCOULLER and JAYMESCHUT for their efforts in attaining excellent ora! health TNI HAPPY TOOTH HONOR ROLL Pam Reigier Sarah VeenKamp Michelle Myer* DeeDee Myer* Andy Myer* Jacob Dussia J Hi Dussia Margaret Loftus John Loftu* Bridget Loftus Kathy Doornbos Matt Doornbos Holly Doornbos Rob Kenyon Ron Mugridge Ruthann Hula Al Retdstra Hitt Bea van Tim Woods Christine Hutting* David Spicer Valene Spicer Steve Rosenberg Darrell Baughman Katie Elies Mike Lytle John Duyser Jeremy Anderson Stacey Anderson Ann Enyart �8 Th* Bon and Nawa, Middleville.

Instead, all available revenues were committed to current or future spending and. when the economy faltered, revenues were inadequate to support the greatly expanded spending base that had been built up during recovery ... In formulating financial plans for 1984 and beyond, policymakers should review carefully the 1977 to 1983 experience in order to insure that it is not repeated. ” Those words of warning concluded an analysis of state fiscal policies by the highly respected Citizens Research Council of Michigan. The report was released just as lawmakers began to tackle Gover­ nor Blanchard’s proposed budget for fiscal 1983-84, which starts October 1,1983. The size of the Governor’s budget is a sign that state government has learned little from past “boom-bust" budgetary cycles. Only this time the "boom” is due to a tax hike rather than economic recovery. It is estimated that the income tax rate increase of 1.5% in 1983 and 1.25% in 1984 will add 3845 million in new revenue to state coffers during the upcoming fiscal year. In turn. Governor Blan­ chard has proposed to appropriate every dime of that increase for current programs — a 12.5% general fund budget hike. In evaluating the Blanchard plan. House Fiscal agency economists recently reinforced the Citizens Research Council report. They predicted that the 35.32 million budget base proposed for 1983-84, combined with the drop in the 1985 income tax rate (from 6.1% to 5.35%), could result in a 1984-85 budget deficit of 3630 million. Are lawmakers listening? Ready to Quit? It’s plain that you're carrying a heavy load. We re sorry to see it. It must get you down. We have a Friend who can do something about it. Jesus said “Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying your heavy loads, and I will give you rest. " During ' the past week, millions of people have found that the promise is still good. We'd like to tell you how you can experience it.

Republicans fought to limit spending increases by state departments to # or less. The amendments proposed to shift an estimated 3172 million of savings into the “Rainy Day Fund” for future economic emergencies. After heated debate, the modest cost-capping amendmen­ ts were defeated. Instead, a majority voted to spend the entire tax windfall on restoring, maintaining and even increasing state programs. Meanwhile, majority leaders and the Governor reportedly are resorting to the bookkeeping games Blanchard pledged he would end. Currently under consideration is a scheme that would shift teacher retirement funding from the state to the local side of the budget ledger. Such an accounting step would circumvent the Headlee constitutional requirement that at least 41% of the budget be used for local spending purposes. In other words, the seeds of future deficits and higher state and local taxes are being sown this spring. So much for learning from history. Tighten Unemployment Insurance The Michigan House of Representatives Thur­ sday tightened eligibility rules for people who voluntarily quit their jobs. State Representative Paul Hillegonds drafted the provision that closed a costly loophole in the state s unemployment insurance law. It was included in comprehensive unemployment insurance reform legislation unanimously approved by the House. He explained that presently men and women who leave their jobs voluntarily can collect unem­ ployment benefits from that employer if they sub­ sequently claim to have been laid off from doing yard or other such work for friends or relatives who do not pay unemployment taxes. The Hillegonds measure would eliminate that practice by providing that voluntary quitters can qualify for benefits only if their next job is with an employer who pays taxes to the MESC. “The voluntary quit issue was largely addressed two years ago, but this one loophole remained,’ Hillegonds said, “and it contributes to the percep­ tion that the state is hard on business. I think the bill will pass the Senate easily and we will have removed one more obstacle to doing business in Michigan." Hillegonds, a member of the House Labor Com­ mittee, served on the subcommittee that drafted the comprehensive reform bill. “The bill includes a number of minor provisions designed to improve administration of the unem­ ployment compensation act that had been overlooked when the major issues were debated" he continued. “In addition to my provision, the bill provides for an ombudsman who will help both em­ ployers and employees with claims. It also makes it illegal for a person who steals from an employer af­ ter he or she is laid-off or discharged to receive benefits. As amazing as it seems, right now they can. “The bill makes a total of 18 changes in the law and comes as a result of long negotiations between business and labor. It’s really one of those rare times when both interests agreed and ±’m convinced the system will benefit by these new provisions" Hillegonds concluded. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP. HILLEGONDS.

Area Leighton UM Church Begins Special Summer Series The Leighton United Methodist Church has begun a special ten part summer series of messages, with Pastor Dick McClain preaching from the book of John. This series is entitled “The Searching Questions of John's Gospel’* Area residents and summer visitors are invited to worship and be a part of this vital series. Pastor McClain feels that it is important for each one of us to hear the heart­ message of each of these ten questions, either asked by Christ or by other New Testament figures, and that we ponder these questions and our personal response to them. “To get the right answer, you need to ask the right question," he believes. The question for this Sunday is “How is it that you, a Jew. ask a drink of me, a Samaritan?" Subsequent sermon topic questions will appear in the church directory that appears in each week's paper. The Leighton Church is located on the corner of 142nd Avenue and 2nd Street (just west of Patter­ son and 2 miles south of 108th) in Leighton Town­ ship. Morning worship begins at 10 a.m. with Sun­ day School for all ages following. Evening worship will continue throughout the summer at 7 p.m. The community is again invited to participate. This Sunday evening, June 26, a special program prepared by Miss Lynnette Cruff will be presented. The elementary choirk The Son shine Singers, and other members of the church, will be featured. The program, “Fun in the Son" and several of the songs featured have been written by Miss Cruff. ttF* i Iff 4 ‘ Mr. and Mrs. Norman Jahnke Celebrate 30th Mr. and Mrs. Norman Jahnke of Middleville celebrated their 30th anniversary’ June 21 with a family picnic on Sunday, June 19.

That is over a year away, but the committee plan­ ning the event is well underway. A tentative schedule of events that will take place is as follows: Monday, Sept. 3, 1984 • “The Shortest Bridge Walk" over the Thomapple River Tuesday, Sept. 4 - Agricultural or Farmers Day Wednesday, Sept. 5 • Industrial Day Thursday, Sept. 6 ■ Costume Day Friday. Sept. 7 - Educational Day Saturday, Sept. 8 - Ceremonial Day Sunday. Sept. 9 - Ecumenical Day Saturday will be the big day of the week-long celebration. There will be a giant parade (under the direction of Rod Kenyon) activities at the TK School grounds, arts and crafts, a big stadium show and fireworks befitting 150 years since the community was founded in 1834. A logo for the Sesquicentennial has been selected from those submitted to the Heritage Association. This logo will be used throughout the year to publicize the event. Every group in the community will be asked to participate in the celebration. The steering committee, co-chaired by Rod Finkbeiner and Leo Verlinde, plans to coordinate the events and is open for more suggestions for the week. Tentative chairmen for the various committees have been selected and hopefully will become functioning soon. One of the biggest items on the agenda for the next meeting (July 28th at the Villa) will be confir­ mation of these committees and ways to finance the celebration. It has been estimated that over *15,000 will be needed to put on the show. If you are interested in participating in the event, contact Rod. Leo (or for parade entries Rod K.). Anyone in the community is eligible to become part of the celebration (and you don’t necessarily have to be a resident of the village). At any rate, mark off the week of September 3-9, and plan to be where the action is ... Middleville’s 150th Birthday Party!

J Mias Megan Mack Folkpattern Style Review Megan Mack of Caledonia was one of 35 Michigan 4-H members to participate in a special Folkpatter­ ns Style Review June 22 at Michigan State Univer­ sity. The purposes of the review were to acquaint young people with the role of fashion in American life throughout history and to encourage them to explore the Michigan 4-H Folkpattems project, ex­ plains Joanne Schultink. Extension specialist for consumer education in clothing and textiles and review coordinator Folkpattems is a joint project of the Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service 4H - Youth Program and the MSU Museum, with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The purpose of the project is to en­ courage young people to explore traditions in their lives and where they came from, investigate their family and community heritage, learn traditional skills from others and pass them on to future generations, and identify and document this kind of information for others to enjoy and learn from. Megan was selected from a field of applicants statewide. She was required to describe her gar­ ment, identify the time period during which it was worn and research the occasion on which the clothing was usually worn. Set Sing-a-long Sunday A Patriotic Sing-a-long will be held by the pond at the Caledonia Christian Reformed Church on Sun­ day, July 3, at 8:30 p.m. Special music will be featured.

One look from my sister’s cocker spaniel puppy and the whole family was destined for slavery. Who else could get away with rousing you at 6:00 a.m. because they want to play? Would you be half as forgiving if your brother chewed your shoe instead of your dog? Absolutely not! I've known friends to give up vacations because their dogs couldn't accompany them. Whether it be dog, cat,hamster, goldfish or birds, we love to own pets. Or do they own us? Undoubtedly the two favorite house pets are dogs and cats. Dogs are popular because of their devotion to the owners, while cats are often more indepen­ dent. The best pets, whichever kind they may be, are trained to obey theirmasters or mistresses. After the first few instances, chewed shoes and clawed furniture become highly irritating. There are numerous books available pet care, training, breeding and nutrition. I 'll discuss some I think you would enjoy. Probably the most comprehensive book on dogs is The Complete Dog Booh by the American Kennel Club. Included is information on specific breeds, as well as how to care for your pet. Training your dog is important. You will enjoy your pet more and the dog understands your wishes. Barbara Woodhouse has written No Bad Dogs the Woodhouse Way. She really believes that any dog can be trained if the owners know what they are doing. If you’ve had your dog for years and have neglected to train him, or have acquired an older dog there is still hope. How to Teach an Old Dog New Tricks by Kurt Unkelbach gives inspiration to dog owners with unruly pets.Don’t let your dog’s vices get you in trouble. If you are a cat lover (and I’ve known some truly cat fanatics) the public library has several cat care books. Perhaps the books you will most enjoy are: P.J. My Friend by Noel Gerson and Somewhere a Cat is Waiting by Derek Tangye. They both relate heartwarming stories of special cats that enable the readers to view cats as the unique, lovable, independent animals that they are. Not all pets are domesticated dogs and cats. Some of the most rewarding pets are wild animals that have adopted a family. Lyn Hancock relates some of the special relationships she developed with animals while traveling with her biologist-photographer husband. She tells of encounters with sea otters, mountain goats, eagles and killer whales in her books; There's a Seal in My Sleeping Bag and There's a Raccoon in My Parka. It’s all very well to read about wildlife pets but what happens when you have one yourself. Sometimes you find an injured animal or a baby that’s lost his mother or sometimes one of the kids find strays in their adven­ tures outside. Ronald Rood has written a book. May I Keep This Clam Mother! It Followed Me Home in which he explains how to make this experience rewarding instead of trying. If you are a new pet parent there are some en­ joyable informative books that you will want to check out right away. Naming Your Pet by Mary Detrick and Nancy White provides lists of names and what they mean. The Pet House Books by L. LaBarge provides directions for building houses, accessories and playthings for your pets. Pets are wonderful companions. It is astonishing to find, however, pet owners completely ruled by the pets. In his book. The Other End of the Leash by Berkaly Rice, he relates how Americans are turning pets into people. Millions of dollars are spent on grooming, clothing, food and photographs of pots. So my question still stands: What is it about pets that completely steals your heart? JoHanna Steiner of Middleville is one of three Barry County young people who are participating in the 4-H Citizenship-Washington Focus program this week at the National 4-H Center in Chevy Chase. Maryland. Her moths*, Holly Steiner, is at­ tending as chaperone for the group. Barry County participants will be among 4,600 ■' 4-Hers from 44 states who will attend week long sessions throughout the summer, “Young people will study individual citizenship responsibilities, our national heritage and our system of government.'' says Kathy Walters, Barry County Extension 4-H Youth Agent. Citizenship and leadership skills that relate to economics, government, international interdepen­ dence. agriculture and natural resources will be em­ phasized. Participants will visit Capitol Hill to see government in action and to meet with members of Congress. Field trips to historical sites and federal agencies are also scheduled. The Citizenship-Washington Focus program is conducted by the National 4-H Council in support of 4-H Youth programs nationwide. Miss Steiner also represented Barry County on June 22-24 at the 1983 4-H Exploration Days at Michigan State University. Gospel Concert on Agenda at Bowens Mill in the service Brian Vander Ark Pvt.

N.J His wife, Michelle, is the daughter of Bradley J. Marthens of 1845 Gentian, Kentwood. The private is a 1982 graduate of Kenowa Hills High School. Walker. Tamora Magness Tamora A. Magness, 19. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Magnes, 131 Sheridan. Middleville, has en­ tered the U.S.Air Force’s Delayed Enlistment Program. According to S Sgt Kurt D. Groom, the Air Force recruiter here, Magness’ entry into the DEP serves two purposes. First, it allows the Air Force to schedule an opening for her to attend basic training and be assigned to a job or skill area. Second, the DEP enables Magness, a 1981 graduate of Thor­ napple Kellogg High, to wrap up her personal affairs before leaving home. Magness will enter the Regular Air Force on Dec 9, 1983. Following graduation from the six-week basic training course at Lackland AFB, Texas, she will receive technical training in the Administrative aptitude area and be assigned to an Air Force duty station. obituaries HOMER DOCHOW Historic Bowens Mills will celebrate the Holiday weekend with their outdoor Gospel Concert July 2nd at 7:00 p.m. The concert will feature the “Faith Gospel Singers’’ and “the Kissin Cousins.” The Faith Gospel Singers are from the White Cloud Area.

Our class graduated 36, of which five are deceased. They were Charles Aubil. Frances Kurina. Bob Mugridge. Volta Poulson Haskins and Herbert Terry. It was the consensus of opinion that the class of ’33 was probably the finest graduating class ever leaving Thornapple Kellogg. They unanimously voted to reconvene in 1988. Marion Martin Nineteen members of the remaining thirty-one graduates of Middleville’s Class of '33 joined together at Middle Villa Inn Saturday evening. June 25, to renew long standing friendships and celebrate their 50th reunion. Elton R. (Bill) Boyer and wife of Port Arthur Texas (class president) were on hand to emcee the affair. Carl Clossen and wife of Grand Rapids (vice president), Lucille Smith Gray and husband of Freeport (secretary) and Charles Parker and wife from Bethesda, Md (treasurer) completed the class officers at the speaker’s table. Invocation was offered by Margery' Wieringa Williams. Marion Wieringa Martin welcomed the group and letters were read from those members unable to attend. Coming from the Ann Arbor Area were Wendell Lyons and his wife, also Jean Campbell Armbruster and her husband. Ruth Getty Nelson and husband traveled from Montague for the occasion. Grand Rapids classmates included Dorothy Sharp Gillette and Woody, Geraldine Stimson Carpenter and Wayne, and Bill Standish and wife. We were pleased to "find’’ Norma Flashman Lipp, who attended with her husband from Decatur. At the time of our 40th and 45th reunions, her whereabouts were unknown.

That is the dilemma that faces every lawmaker on major, far-reaching issues. Is the change worth the risks? Are there bet­ ter ways to accomplish the change? So it is with the Equal Rights Amendment. It simply reads. “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. “ Many well-meaning citizens believe the amen­ dment will speed the drive for equality of oppor­ tunity for women. Others who are equally wellmeaning feel the amendment will turn courts and legislatures loose on the land, robbing women of rights and privileges they currently enoy. For those of us in state legislatures who may be asked by Congress to decide again on the ERA’s ratification, it still is, and always will be, a judgment call. My judgment is that we should add the Equal Rights Amendment to our U.S.Constitution. My reasoning is based on the need, and the weighing of real risks which have been tested somewhat by the very existence of the proposed amendment. Many ERA opponents generally will acknowledge that women too often are discriminated against on the question of equal pay for equal work, job promotions, sexual harrassment, property rights in the settlement of estates or marital status, and so on. But they add that laws in the various states should be changed to deal with each of these problems instead of adopting a sweeping federal amendment which may add as well as subtract in­ justices. In fact, some seventeen states have passed their own Equal Protection Amendments, and other states like Michigan are beginning to remove sexually-discriminatory language from existing law. Yet, I would argue that the national ERA drive it­ self has awakened state legislatures to make needed changes. The ERA’s passage will compel the other states to engage in the same fine-tuning of their statutes. But is it fair for a U.S. Constitutional Amendment to force such action? In my opinion, it’s as fair as the original Bill of Rights or subsequent civil rights measures. Indeed, no state should have the option to permit legal discrimination against women or men any more than they should have had that legal option to discriminate against Blacks during the slavery and post-slavery era. But won’t the ERA result in judicial and legislative overkill? Opponents point to examples of court decisions in states that have enacted Equal Protection Amendments — examples such as a state court ruling that girls could engage in boys’ contact sports. Others raise the specter of unisex bathroom­ mandatory coed college dormitories, the drafting of women to serve in combat positions, and more. These risks are real — with or without a con­ stitutional amendment. Indeed, our legal and legislative process is an evolving one - reflecting prevailing values and societal concerns. In this in­ stance, the ERA movement over the past decade has not resulted in massive, unpopular and unwan­ ted disruptions. Instead of girls competing with boys in contact sports, for example, we generally have seen the emergence of thriving womens’ athletic programs that are being given fairer treat­ ment by schools and colleges. Likewise, if the ERA were to pass, I don’t believe our society would sud­ denly abandon its reasonably good sense and values — with our courts swinging radically toward trying to make all men and women equal. And that, finally, is the bottom line. Our nation was not founded on a proposition that all persons should be equal in ability or economic status. Rather our constitution, laws and judicial decisions have tried to insure equality of opportunity. That’s what the Equal Rights Amendment is about, and that’s why I support it. Like the spirit and experience of our U. S. Constitution, this proposed amendment is worth the risks. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP. HILLEGONDS.

Nowadays, to many that is a process which takes too long. They try to establish community confidence quickly by public relations techniques — “I am a good fellow because it says so right here in my publicity.” But con­ fidence lasts only as long as it is backed by real service, fair dealing and a sincere feeling for those in bereavement. Have we achieved that kind of trust and con­ fidence? That is for those who have used our services to say and there is only one meaningful way for them to say it. With deep feelings of gratitude, we note that they have done so. C_k.av\es C Sincerely Director Roetman Funeral Chapel Caledonia, MI Charles Roetman.

Changes to the bills are occuring almost hourly, so it is difficult to get a handle on specific numbers or programs until they receive final approval, probably by the Fourth of July week-end. One of the features of the Social Services Bill which I mentioned in this column a couple of weeks ago. and which will in all probability remain in the bill, is the Department of Social Services computer cross-check system. The purpose of this new program is to help the Department of Social Services identify fraudulent welfare recipients. I strongly supported this amen­ dment which requires cross-checking lists of welfare recipients with banks, the Secretary of State, the Department of Treasury, and the Michigan Em­ ployment Security Commission, in order that the Department can identify recipients with excess in­ come or assets which have not been reported. The proposal is based on a computer match program developed in Massachusetts. Since the cross-check system began there, guilty findings of welfare fraud have increased dramatically. With just over 6 percent of the banks in Massachusetts participating, more than 3,300 recipients were found to be fraudulently collecting welfare. Thanks to this program. Massachusetts saved S9 million. Officials there estimate that if all banks participated, projected savings could occur once the system is used on a widespread scale in Michigan. This system is a common sense approach to a long-standing problem. By weeding out those who are ineligible for benefits, we can better serve the public and aid those who are truly needy. The eventual result would be a more efficient welfare system in our state. I also supported an amendment to the higher education budget bill which prohibits the use of state dollars for showing x-rated movies at any . state college or university in Michigan. The provision was included in the bill in response to public criticism following a court order last Mar­ ch that required Grand Valley State College to pay for the showing of an x-rated movie at a campus film festival. It became clear after the court order that legislation was needed to grant college and univer­ sity governing boards greater decision-making authority over what type of entertainment is The Sm News, MliifliMBi. kficMgm / XbtMIMI S provided on campuses. This doe. not mean that x- - --------------------------- —---- -----rated movies cannot be shown on campuses in Michigan.

(Women, Infants and Children) provides food from each of the four groups and provides important nutritional information. “Our goal is to prevent birth defects and to promote good health from the beginning of life,” states Dianne Finnerman, registered dietitian with the Barry-Eaton Health Department. “Also, many middle income people are finding themselves in a completely new economic situation due to unem­ ployment, etc. They may be eligible for the W.I.C. program,” she said. Participant8 meeting the following requirements are eligible: 1. Must comply with the following income guidelines: Number of people the income supports: Weekly Bi-wkly Monthly Yrfy 8.660 722 167 333 1 11,510 959 443 221 2 14,360 1,197 552 276 3 1,434 17,210 662 331 4 20,050 1,671 771 386 5 22,900 1,908 881 440 6 25,750 2,146 990 495 7 28,600 2,383 1,100 550 8 2. Pregnant women, women who have recently delivered a baby, those who have a child under five years of age. 3. Must be a resident of Eaton or Barry County. 4. Women having a health or nutritional need (as listedl: overwight; inadequate diet regarding fruits, vegetables, calcium, protein; low birth weight babies; pregnant women under 17 years of age; women with diabetes; women who are pregnant with their first baby at age 34 years or older, women with hypertension, kidney disease, etc. Any woman on public assistance is eligible too. Also, those women with a history of premature labor or Cesaerian sec­ tion deliveries or have less than six months between pregnancies. The W.I.C. program has proven to be cost ef­ ficient as it reduces medicaid and medicare costs for those eligible. It is a six-month temporary program. “Nutritional instruction is built into the program,” Diane says. W.I.C.’s dietitian works closely with each participant to determine how best to overcome the nutritional deficiency. After con­ sultation, coupons are available for iron fortified in­ fant formulas and cereals, plus infant juices. Milk, eggs, cheese, juices, iron fortified cereals, peanut butter and dried beans coupons can also be redeemed. W.I.C. coordinator is Virginia Benedict, Nurse Practitioner.

You just look at things the way all of society looks at them - biased. Things are not like they were when you were a teenager. You have to live in the present and accept things more liberally now. So many of you wonder why our 15-20 year old kids don't (or can't) talk to you about anything but everyday unimportant gibberish. Remember when you kid was in grade school — his first “crush?”. Remember how you made fun of Billy when he gave Mindy a valentine? He didn’t tell you things after that. Remember laughing when Sue cried over sad TV shows? Has she shown her emotions to you sin­ ce? How do you expect your almost-grown children to be able to instantly talk to you now? Now, after years of conditioning not to talk to you? When was the last time you showed some emotion underneath your coldcream or beard? When was the last time you reached out and tried to understand your child’s feelings? If something’s funny, laugh, if it’s sad,cry! If you love, embrace with love! Touch more, understand more, feel more. I hope you know that I love you very much and I wouldn't want to hurt either of you. Yet our feel that our family image is being destroyed. When we kids were young, I remember the whole family doing things together. But lately things have changed. People who used to comment how close our family was don’t even mention this any more. You work all the time. Mom, and I wonder if you are bored with the family. Dad. you go out a lot and drink. Sometimes I worry about you becoming an alcoholic. I wish we could change things to how they used to be. I still love you as much as I always have, but I ’m afraid we ll drift apart and soon be out of each other's reach. So let’s bridge the open gap and laugh together once more. Think about it, please. His or her basic needs are the same as yours; the age-group needs are different. Because you have had more years to learn how to handle problems and control emotions, your teenager may not know what you are feeling. Maybe you should tell him ... through actions as well as words.

Last week Don and Kay Link had grandson Mike Link spend the week with them, and this week his sister Michelle is staying with them. On the way back from picking up Michelle, Don and Kay stop­ ped by to visit with Robin and Buster, also Dave and Linda. Don and Kay wish a happy birthday to Robin S. Ed and Katie Wieringa attended Ed’s 50th Class reunion Saturday night at the Middle Villa. There were 36 in the Middleville Class of 1933, and of those 31 are still living and 19 were present at the reunion. Ed said the one who came the greatest distance came from Texas. Saturday night Don and Kay Link also attended Kay’s 40th class reunion from Caledonia High School at the Middle Villa. Wes and Janette VanRhee and family went to Battle Creek Saturday to the wedding of Wes’ niece, Susan VanRhee. She married Craig Norrod.

Ruth Klump accompanied George and Mabel Foote to the wedding of her great-nephew, David Parka, in Three Rivers Saturday evening. David is the son of Ruth Ann and Ozzie Parks. Jack and Gerry Spencer were awaiting the arrival of relatives from Kalkaska and Interlochen when I called on Tuesday. Hope they arrived safely. Couldn’t get much news out of the Prairie folks this week — they all said it was too hot to do anything. So... will just ’’have’’ to tell you about our family reunion.... It began Friday afternoon when the first travelers arrived from Wisconsin and came to its climax when 121 of us joined hands to form a large circle for the pre-feast blessing. A wonderful food-filled, funfilled, love-filled time of trying to catch up on a year 's worth of events, be constantly amazed at how the little ones change in the span of 12 months, and ooh and aah over the three new babies present since last reunion. Relatives were on hand from Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota and Oklahoma. As near as I could estimate, we had 16 overnigh ters at our house on Friday and 22 on Saturday .. with Steiners probably about the same on Satur­ day. Both of our yards turn into campgrounds, and the bathroom and breakfast facilities are taxed to the fullest! Mitch and Linda Szubert and two children of Burbank. Illinois stayed with the Steiners a few ex­ tra days to enjoy Michigan, and our sister Jean Brackenbury and brother-in-law John Zaboly were here until Tuesday morning. As we lean back, turn off our ovens, re-discover our kitchens, and put our feet up, we know a good feeling of tiredness and begin thinking about next year. ‘Summer Fun ’ got you feeling down?

MkHgan ' Food Buy Lilies: Late Season for Produce Summer is a little late this year if you gauge the California has bumped freight charges up as much season by the arrival of fresh fruits and vegetables. as 25 percent (typical for this time of year). July meat prices are difficult to predict. Meats are The slowed-down season extends across the eastern and southern United States, so the July 83 outlook one of the more volatile consumer items during an economic recovery. Complicating the picture is the is different from that of a typical July. Retail prices for fresh produce are running payment-in-kind (PIK) program, which may have somewhat higher than those of a year ago. Higher curtailed the hog expansion that was underway. Most analysts expect pork prices and beef prices shipping charges are a contributing factor. The demand for refrigerated trucks to haul produce from to hold their own during July. Broiler production HAVE AT The MiddleVilla Inn ON M-37 In MIDDLEVILLE ★ PH. 795-3640 • has been curtailed and prices show signs of strengthening. Movement of whole turkeys Is un­ clear, but slaughter is up and there definitely is an increase in the movement of processed turkey products. Michigan strawberries have been delayed so long that a smaller crop is now predicted. Look for homegrown strawberries to be in heavy supply during the first extended heat wave. The fresh strawberrv season will then be over all too quickly. The sweet cherry crops in Michigan and California were shortened by adverse spring weather. Washington has a good crop of sweet cherries and is shipping. Soft fruits from California are also coming on strong. The Michigan peach crop is the only peach crop destined solely for fresh market that didn t get zap­ ped by cold weather. Prices for fresh peaches are ex­ pected to be high because the ovarall national crop is 55 percent below that of 1981, the last normal crop year. Michigan's tart cherry crop was reduced by cold weather this spring. Red tart cherries are harvested in July, but are not generally available. Check on the availability of slush-packed cherries at some super­ markets or fresh cherries at farmers’ markets if you want fresh tart cherries. The North American Blueberry Council predicts an increase in the 1983 blueberry crop. The com­ bined cultivated and wild blueberry crop is pegged at 168.1 million pounds. Michigan remains the No. 1 producer of blueberries with a forecasted crop of 41.1 million pounds. Blueberries will become available in July, but the state crop won’t peak until August. Watermelon plantings were delayed across the South, so the supply peak will come at the end of the month. Look for the season s lowest retail prices at that time. Fresh vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, celery, sweet corn and soft-shell squash have in­ creased in availability and retail prices are definitely lower. Carrots, potatoes and dry onions remain some of the more economical choices. Cabbage will be the first homegrown vegetable to reach the market in July. Homegrown zucchini, crookneck squash and snap beans will become availabe by mid-July. Look for Michigan celery the following week. Lettuce prices should be lower by month's end. Variety lettuces, radishes, cucumbers and green onions are already trending down.

Those attending are asked to bring a picnic lunch, softball mitt, ball, bat, frisbees, etc. and join in the fun. I enjoyed reading of the plans for the 1984 Mid­ dleville Sesquicentennial in last week's issue of The Sun and News. The organizing committee has already put in many hours of planning, with many more hours of work yet to be done. The pay will be very small and the criticism heavy from the sideline kibitsers. In a spirit of constructive criticism I would like to suggest that the celebration be moved back a couple of weeks to enable everyone a better opportunity to participate. It has been my experience over nearly 40 years in the entertainment business that the week of school re-opening (just after Labor Day) is one of the worst weeks of the year in show business; second only to the week just before Christmas. Nearly everyone is pre-occupied with the re­ orientation of the family to early bedtimes and strict scheduling after a summer of carefree living. It is for this reasoning that new shows, movies, outdoor events, etc. never open in the first 10 days of Sep­ tember. Thus, I hope that the committee might consider moving the Sesquicentennial to a later date in Sep­ tember. The celebration could then be even more successful, plus having and outside shot at perhaps some cooler weather. Most sincerely, Gordon M. Bennett Middleville obituaries At Your Public Library By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistant TAKE A HIKE! Take a hike! Usually when someone tells you this, offense is taken. If you stop to think, however, hiking is a pleasurable pastime. In this particular area, we are blessed with an abundance of hiking trails. The Yankee Springs area offers several wall marked trails. One does not need a well marked trail (although these provide perfect hiking) to enjoy hiking. Locate a piece of land, obtain the owner’s permission (I don't want to be responsible for the consequences of trespassing), pack a few goodies and hike away! Now one does not have to be too talented to be an accomplished hiker (providing you are not ascending Mt. Everest). As with anything, however, there is information available that makes the event much more rewarding. You will appreciate nature more if you know what you are looking at (and maybe what creatures are looking back at you!) What better place to receive your education on the wonders of nature than the public library? There are three good field guide series that can be found in the library. They are: The Blanford Colour Series, The Peterson Field Guide Series, and Golden Nature Guide Series. All of these include descrip­ tions, as well as color illustrations. Best of all, they are small, compact books that are easy to take along with you on your hike. Hopefully, you will encounter many varieties of vegetation on your hike. The most obvious of the vegetation are trees. The Peterson Field Guide to Trees and Shrubs by Petredes provides an easy Happy 60’s to Potluck method of identifying all trees in the area. During The Caledonia Happy 60’s club will meet July 11 this time of the year, especially, it is fun to see flowers growing in the wild. Some of them are more in the Board Room with a potluck dinner at the noon hour. Bring a dish to pass, your table service and exquisite than those we spend hours cultivating in your own beverage.

So go take a hike but stop off at the library first! �Consumers Power Offers Tips for a Cool Summer The first few hot days of summer have reminded Michigan residents that it won’t be long until sum­ mer temperatures soar. When the heat comes, it can be difficult to remain comfortable. Frank Johnson, Consumers Power Company's District Manager in the Battle Creek District, has some helpful hints to minimize the cost of staying cool. “Even if your home or apartment isn’t air con­ ditioned,” he says, “by following a few simple measures, you can enjoy a more comfortable sum­ mer.” •First, take advantage of nature. A cool breeze is nature’s form of air conditioning. Open windows wide at night to allow the evening air to circulate through the home. Keep them open all night. Sleep with a blanket if yoiu must. Then when you wake, close the windows to seal in the cool air. •Keep direct sunlight out by closing drapes and shades. Window and door awnings can also help keep the heat away. YOU and YOUR VISION By Richard J. Choryan, O.D. •Avoid using heat and moisture-producing applian­ ces during warmer times of the day. Dry clothes on and outside line. Use your barbeque grill. Run the dishwasher at night. Remember, any appliance, even a vacuum cleaner, produces heat. •Keep air circulating with portable fans. Use kit­ chen and bathroom exhaust fans to remove excess heat. An attic fan can vent heat to the outside, making the rooms beneath the attic cooler. With a properly installed attic fan. daytime attic tem­ peratures can be reduced 30 to 40 degrees. •Insulation and storm windows keep your home warm in the winter, and cool in the summer. If storm windows are kept on year-round, make sure they can be opened to allow cool night air to enter. •If you have central air conditioning, set the thermostat to the warmest comfortable tem­ perature. Raising the setting from 75 to 80 degrees can save about 13 percent on your energy usage for air conditioning. •While the air conditioner is operating, close off registers to unused rooms such as bedrooms, and keep doors and windows to these rooms closed. •If you have a window air conditioner, shut doors to other rooms and close hot air registers to keep the cool air from flowing to the basement. •Air conditioning units should be of proper size for the area being cooled and should be placed on the north side of the house or in shaded areas. Placing them in cooler locations will keep them operating more efficiently. •If you are buying a new air conditioner, select one with a high energy' efficiency ratio (EER). The EER will be listed on the “Energyguide” label at­ tached to the appliance. A more efficient model may cost more to buy, but you will normally save money in the long run. An air conditioner with an EER of 10 will cost half as much to operate as one with an EER of 5 over the unit’s life span, which averages 13 years. •For efficient operation of an air conditioner, it’s important that the unit be adequately maintained. Keep the outside of the unit clear of leaves, dirt and debris. Clean the filters regularly. Without proper maintenance, an air conditioner's cooling capacity can drop considerably. •Another option is installation of a whole-house fan. They assist nature’s air conditioning by cir­ culating outside air throughout the home, and exhausting it into the attic. With proper venting in the attic, that space will be cooler, too. Johnson also notes that despite its name, a heat pump can also keep your home cool. A heat pump will heat your home in the winter, and in the sum­ mer can pump warm air from inside the home and vent it to the outside. “Keeping your home cool and comfortable doesn't have to be a big expense.’’ says Johnson. “By per­ forming a few simple tests you can keep cool and save energy at the same time. ” Reversals When your child learns to write, you may notice some irregularities in their formation of letters and numbers. Often times letters and numbers such as b, d. r, s, 5, 3, etc. are printed backwards. These are called reversals. This is common in the 5 to 6 year old bracket but they should disappear by the age of 8 years old. If reversals continue at 8 years of age, a program should be instituted to remedy the problem as soon as possible so that it does not interfere with the child’s learning process in school. The program consists of a series of exercises involving eye and hand coordination with an emphasis on laterality (recognition of opposing right and left sides). Though the training usually takes place at home bi-monthly or monthly visits may be necessary to evaluate the progress of the program. Homeowners Insurance? One name says it best.

They camped back in the woods on property that belongs to Matt and Tim Standish's folks. The scouts even have a trail to hike there that is marked “Troop 65.” The camp was set up late Friday afternoon, and besides fighting off the mosquitoes, the scouts en­ joyed hiking, fishing, swimming and cooking their meals. Camp was broken Sunday morning and the trailer loaded with camping gear, truck loaded with the boys, and they made their way home. Paul Hernandez was welcomed home and joined the ranks again on the campout. He had left for the military service but has returned. The troop was happy to see his return. Troop 65 would like to thank Joe Scott for the use of his pickup truck and also to Bob Frost for the use of his trailer. The Scouts’ trailer was having some work done on it to make it more efficient for their camping trips. Also, Troop 65 wants to remind the community that they have a paper drive coming up on July 30. Continue to save your newspapers and support Troop 65. On June 29th, Troop 65 helped load the Red Cross truck with equipment and blood from the blood bank. The Scouts are looking forward to spending a week camping at Harwood Lake next week and a canoe trip in August. Any boy and/or father wishing to join Troop 65 may contact Pete Hernandez at 795-9845.

As a result, the tax revenue not collected from state citizens and tourists will total nearly $325 million in 1983. Years ago when state public employees and per­ sons living in the military earned substantially less than their private sector counterparts, the legislature exempted public pensions and military pay from the state income tax. Today these exem­ ptions are worth as much as $23 million annually. Governor Blanchard just signed into law a tax break for employers who hire low income youth. Because such employers already can subtract from their federal tax 85% of the wages they pay the young peoplef the 15% Single Business Tax credit is little more than a bonus. The cost to the state treasury: between $1.5 and $9.9 million. Public Acts 198 and 255 allow local governments to provide up to 50% property tax relief for as long as twleve years to new or rehabilitated businesses in designated redevelopment districts. That assistance has been granted to entrepreneurs who need the tures that don’t The biggest break of all is the “circuit breaker’ ’ or homestead exemption. This year alone an estimated $630 million in state income tax credits will be claimed primarily by homeowners whose property tax bills exceed 3.5% of their income. These are but a few examples of the many "tax expenditures’’ — exclusions, exemptions or deduc­ tions — that have been written into Michigan tax laws. Incredibly, in the current fiscal year basic tax rates will raise $4.7 billion in general fund revenues — but the money not collected because of exceptions to those rates will total $6.6 billion, s At long last a House Taxation subcommittee has been appointed to take a close look at the tax ex­ penditure issue. I am serving on that panel. This summer we will be evaluating existing and proposed tax credits and exclusions. Questions we hope to address include: Is the tax expenditure accomplishing its intended objective — to reward or stiulate a desired activity or to redistribute the tax burden more equitably? Is the tax expenditure better than such options as a direct state expenditure, governmental regulations or a lower general tax rate? Is the tax expenditure causing unintended side ef­ fects? No tax break should escape this scrutiny, even policies such as the property tax circuit-breaker. For example, we should be asking ourselves: Is it desirable that under the property tax relief program an estimated 10 to 12% of local property taxpayers can vote to raise local school millages for others knowing that they won’t have to bear any of the in­ crease? And what about the fact that state revenues available for local school support have declined as the state tax credits for homeowners have in- CHECK THE cnasodl Could it be that by re-distributing the in­ dividual property tax burden in an effort to be more fair, we in Michigan have widened unfairly the fun­ ding gap between rich and poor school districts? Asking such questions of popular tax expen­ ditures will be every bit as difficult as it is for lawmakers to evaluate pet spending program. But it’s an important, serious task in which I in­ tend to participate actively. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP HILLEGONDS. CALL AC 517-373X1836 ADDRESS LETTERS TO HIM AT STATE CAPITOL BLDG., LANSING.

All it takes is knowledge about seasons and selection. Even though seasons are greatly expanded beyond what they used to be, most fruits and vegetables have peak seasons. The peak season oc­ curs when the bulk of the crop comes to market. Quality is usually tops and prices the lowest during the seasonal peak. This year's fresh fruits and vegetables are delayed as much as two weeks, so the supply peaks will also be delayed. But don't count on the delay to hold - a few days of extremely hot weather will accelerate most crops. Peak seasons last for a few days to several weeks, depending on the commodity. Heavy featuring, often with price concessions, is your best clue that a fresh fruit or vegetable is in peak supply. If it’s a locally grown product, another tip-off is advertising in the classified ads by more than one producer. There are other ways to increase your chances of purchasing high quality fruits and vegetables besides buying during seasonal peaks. Individual quality characteristics vary for each fruit, vegetable land melon, but some quality factors apply to all fresh produce. A fresh appearance is one of the most easily ob­ servable characteristics that tells you produce is fresh and good. Whether it’s peaches or green pep­ pers, dull, shriveled and lifeless-looking fruits probably aren’t very fresh or good. Another characteristic common to all top quality fruits and some vegetables is that they are heavy for their size. The weight indicates a higher proportion of juice. It’s as true for grapefruit as for water­ melon. Fruits and melons that are picked before they are mature will not ripen properly and be as sweet as if they had been allowed to mature on the plant. Ground color is one clue that fruits and melons are mature. The ground (or background) color for peaches, for example, should be more yellow than green. This is especially helpful in selecting all the Haven varieties of peaches. The red blush on Haven peaches comes on before they are mature, so judge their ripeness by the ground color. Ever heard that every rule has an exception? Sometimes harmony can even be the cause. The Harmony peach, which matures two weeks after Red Havens, has a greenish cast under the blush when it is mature. Mystery Film on Tap for Super Spy Program Super Spy programs for youngsters 6-12 continue this week at 16 branches of the Kent County Library system.

MI 49053 COmp Hello! We’re Your Local Newspaper... Good Morning! May we come into your home today? This week The Sun and News is being sent to all the folks who get their mail from the Middleville post office, so those of you who may not know us can get acquain­ ted. (To our regular subscribers, we just say thanks for your continued support!) The Sun and News is devoted to the hometowns of Middleville and Caledonia. We really don't care too much what goes on beyond our little area of the world. We leave that to the “mass media” guys. Sometimes when we do something spectacular or do something very “bad” our big city newspapers and TV stations give us all kinds of news coverage. This newspaper is mostly written by the people of the community. We have a few paid “corresponden­ ts” but generally the stuff you read here is from the people who want their neighbors to know about what is going on. We counted up one time in just one issue of The Sun and News and found 827 names of local people in our news columns. We like to put folks names in print, and not just when they run afoul of the law or have a tragedy befall them. You might say we re a happy” newspaper. Oh, sometimes we get involved with a controversy, but mostly we re treated like one of the family. This week we re sending you The Sun and News because this weekend is turning out to be a busy time in the Middleville area. We wanted you to have an opportunity to look over the advertising messages in this week’s paper, where you’ll find: Mason’s Hardware in Middleville is having a Grand Opening, as is Gavin Chevrolet-Buick (for­ merly Verlinde’s). The Middleville Variety is having a dollar day sale and Geukes Market is offering their annual Fruit and Vegetable Sale. (Don tells us they are largest dealer of this kind in Michigan). You’ll also find advertising messages from Smith Phar­ macy, Vic’s Repair Service, Mutt ’n Jeff’s and The Monarch from downtown Middleville. Out on the Highway. Michael’s Food and Spirits is open for business, and Hen-Way Feeds, Middleville’s new Purina dealer, is having a free hog roast at Spring Park this Saturday afternoon. Busy! Busy! Busy! And we wanted you to know about it. Take a minute if you don’t normally see the paper, and read it over a cup of coffee. Maybe you will want to join our subscriber’s list. If you do, we’ve provided a handy blank below for your con­ venience. Aren’t we sneaky? YES! Send me my hometown weekly newspaper for the next year. I have enclosed $8.00 (it’s $2 more for subscribers outside Barry, Allegan or Kent Coun­ ties).

JULY 14,1983 * MIDDLEVILLE. MICHIGAN 49333 Antique Cars at Bowens Mill July 16 Smail Boys Survive Fire The monthly Old Fashion Day will be celebrated this Saturday, July 16, at Historic Bowens Mill. Antique cars will be the special feature of the day. Festivities will be from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., and the day will be climaxed with a gospel concert from 7 - 9 p.m. The day will include the usual activities of Arts and Crafts, Flea market, Civil War Encam­ pment, Folk music, Blacksmithing, old time demos and hay rides. This month there will be clowns to add to the enjoyment of children of all ages. The Antique Car Club of Battle Creek will be on tour and will arrive at the mill around noon. There will be many cars on display and spectators may visit with the car owners and marvel at the modes of transportation of years gone by. Anyone with an an­ tique car is invited to drive on over and join in the fun. There will also be a collector of antique car par­ ts on hand. He will be selling his accumulation of parts and ornamental trim of nearly 50 years. There will be everything from Model T parts on up. As the visitors arrive, they are urged to take a close look at the “new” Toll Gate House. It is really the old cupola from The French Mill in Middleville which was built in 1889 and tom down in 1980. It’s Middleville-Thomapple Township firemen and ambulance personnel responded Thursday morning to a fire at Gun Lake that hospitalized two small boys. According to reports, the two boys, ages 4 and 2, had been playing with matches or a lighter and set a couch on fire. The boys were taken by ambulance to Pennock and immediately transferred to Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo where the oldest boy, Robert, is in serious condition and his brother is listed as in good condition. Both of the children are improving, however. According to witnesses, the mother, Cyndy Clark, awoke about 10:20 a.m. and ran from the burning house, only to return after her boys. Two Mid­ dleville area men, Bruce Cook and Bruce Brennan, went into the smoke-filled house to find the boys. They removed the boys just as firemen arrived on the scene and began administering first aid. Mrs. Clark was treated for bums and cuts at Pen­ nock and released. The fire is still under in­ vestigation. See BOWENS MILL, page 13 Middlerille fireman Ted Stone cheek* for fire in the roof of the Cyndy Clark residence last Thursday morning. The house ia located on Gan Lake Road adjacent to the Gun Lake Grocery on the north aide of the lake.

The Carters, Vere, Theron, Jeffrey and Jennifer enjoyed the football game at the Silverdome in Pon­ tiac Sunday. The Panthers led all the way and defeated the Oakland Invaders 37-21. A capacity crowd, more than 60,000 were in attendance. The ending of the game was never played as the crowd began to sing “This game is our game” and the football area was filled shoulder to shoulder by fans. The police could not control the crowd, therefore the goalposts were taken down and carried halfway across the parking area before being rescued. The players left the field 25 seconds before final time. Little Ashley Reaser is spending this week with Mrs. Robert (Shirley) Smith while her parents, Pat and Mary Reaser are gone away.

MlcWc** I STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STA TE REPRESENTA TIVE. 54th DISTRICT During the first six months of 1983, the legislature was preoccupied with taxing and spen­ ding issues. Less controversial measures also were considered, however. For the next several weeks I will highlight House-approved legislation and how I voted: Standards for Community Placement. I suppor­ ted legislation that mandates the Department of Mental Health to develop rules for the placement of mentally ill and developmentally disabled persons into community homes. Under the bill, mentally ill persons cannot be placed in community settings un­ til individual treatment plans are developed by the institutions from which they are being released. Also, specialized programs for foster care home residents who are mentally ill will have to be statecertified. Fee* for Private Trade School Regulation. The state licenses private trade and business schools in order to protect students from unscrupulous or poor-quality training programs. To make this regulatory program more effective and selfsupporting, I voted in favor of raising the annual school license fees from *5 to *25. Also, the amount of the required surety bond for school operators will be hiked from Bl.000 to $5,000. Such bonds are used to reimburse students who are not able to complete courses in the event of a school's financial failure. Cutting Tax Collection Paperwork. Under current law local governmental units must bill each proper­ ty taxpayer separately, even those who hold escrow accounts at financial institutions. In turn, tax­ payers must contact their escrow agents who then must pay the property tax bills to the local treasurers. To save time and cut paperwork. I voted for a measure that will authorize local tax collection officers to bill escrow agents directly for property taxes. As happens today, the escrow agent must notify the taxpayer about the amount of tax payment which has been made in his or her behalf. Extending the Commission for the Blind. Due to expire on September 30, 1983, this commission oversees state education, training and rehabilitation services to blind persons in order to improve their employment opportunities. A recent legislative evduation indicated the commission has proven its value and should be continued. I supported a bill to extend the program until 1987. Protecting P.A. 116. Public Act 116, the Far­ mland and Open Space Preservation Act, provides property tax relief to farmers who enter into con­ tracts with the state to continue using their land for agricultural purposes. Since 1974, over 4,000.000 acres of farmland have been enrolled in the program. Recently the department which administers this successful policy, the Department of Natural Resources, proposed that administrative funds for P.A. 116 be cut. That suggestion reinforced concer­ ns the agricultural community and legislators have had about the DNR‘s commitment to this policy. I voted for legislation that would transfer the ad­ ministration of P.A. 116 to a stronger advocate for the preservation of farmland, the Department of Agriculture. Child-Snatching. Again. Because this bill died last year in the Senate, the House again passed legislation making it a two-year felony for a parent to remove a child from the state with the intent to detain the child from the other parent who has legal custody. My vote: yes. Utilizing School Property. I supported legislation authorizing intermediate school boards to allow residents or organizations to use district property in the same manner as local school districts that open facilities for recreational and civic events.

The first would be the 38% tax increase enacted by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor. This was a thoroughly disillusioning process for me. The tax increase became a totally partisan issue — one in which there was a lack of thorough analysis, no serious consideration of op­ tions or alternatives, and little serious debate. It was simply a case of — here it is — we have the votes to pass it and we don’t need any discussion or input. Contrasting that was the second major issue, that of the budget process itself. Here, I felt, the system STATE REPRESENTATIVE • 88TH HOUSE DISTRICT worked as we are taught in government class. Although we ended up with a budget that, in my Although we didn 't meet the 4th of July deadline, view, is too big, and I voted "No” on more of the 17 the Legislature did finally complete work on all of budget bills than I voted "Yes”, the process did the budget bills, then recessed for the summer. It work well.

A summary of the current Legislative session. budget bill, and I think that it serves as an excellent example of how difficult it can become to cast a vote for or against a particular piece of legislation. Having dealt with the details of that particular bill in a previous column. I’ll not dwell further. Suf­ fice it to say that one could easily take the position that the bill is no good, and that the only thing would be to vote an emphatic "no". That would cer­ tainly be the most politically expedient thing to do, since you could then “go down in glorious defeat", and it would make great campaign rhetoric. To do this, however, would have contributed absolutely nothing towards a realistic solution to the problem. That, to me, would be an abdication of the respon­ sibility I feel toward this job. Certainly the Social Services bill is one that is flawed, but it’s certainly far better than the original one proposed by the Governor and, I believe, the best that we could realistically expect to get. We were able to make several positive changes to the bill and. while it is far from perfect, it's a lot better than if we had merely divorceci ourselves from the process and not participated. Ahalf a loaf may not be all you want, but it is a heck of a lot better than no loaf at all. The legislative process is alive and well. It will work... if we will.

Rose Caton, Ruth and Randy, went with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence LaBin, to Michigamme ovw the Fourth of July. Weather was cool, but a nice time reported. Ralph Kenyon’s 77th girthday on July 7 was well celebrated last week. Getting the occasion off to a good start on Wednesday were Patty Fifelski and family of Wayland and Marcie and Dan Yoder of Plainwell. On Thursday, Mr. and Mrs. Dale Bergakker took Ralph and Alberta to Circle Inn at Gun Lake for supper. Friday night the Kenyons had pizza at Phil’s Pizzeria, complete with a home made birthday cake for him. On Sunday, July 10, Ralph and Bert were dinner guests of Maxine Kenyon at Charlotte. Overnight guests at the Fred Steiner home were his sister and husband of Buckley, Illinois, who were on a vacation trip around Lake Michigan. Mart and Cindy Wenger and children, along with several other families from Peace Reformed Church, camped out this past week end at Cran-Hill Ranch. Friday night supper guests of Tom and Lois Bremer were Trudy and Harley Truax of Wayland. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Raymond spent last Wed­ nesday with Ward and Jessie Bender before leaving on Thursday for their home in Chattanooga, Tenn. Jean and Marshall Collins of Byron Center were Thursday night visitors at the home of Fred and Let ha Buckingham. Mrs. Phil Bender took the Wesleyan Youth Group swimming Saturday afternoon at the church cam­ pgrounds. The David Spencer family of Fenton spent a week end with the home folks, Jack and Gerry Spencer, recently. Guests for a barbeque dinner at the home of Walter and Lois Bender on Sun day were Ward and Jessie Bender and the Phil Bender family. Katy Bremer and children spent two days this past week in Muskegon helping her mother with yard work. The Phil Bender family were to Pastor Wiley’s home for lunch after Sunday evening service. Barb’s folks, the Harold Terpstras, visited at the Benders in the afternoon. Judy Harrison said that she and another relatives have been doing the usual summer trading of kids for a few days at a time. Does break the monotony (and probably allows parents to appreciate their own kids I). Looks like there's lots of activity going on in Middleville this Saturday. Will we see you there?

July 16. The next steak fry will be July 23. Reminiscing about the Jaycees Caledonia 4th of July celebration, I was thinking how nice it would be to have the park area north of the gates where cars were forbidden to park to be open only to senior citizens and handicapped persons’ families. I think the celebration would be more of a success, as some folks are not able to walk up to the park as I still can and do enjoy the hometown celebration that they ve lived in most of their lives. Really ought to have a family dinner plan, too, as they are the ones who had to eat hot dogs ’cause they couldn’t afford that luscious odor of chicken frying. I griped ’cause I didn’t have any butter for my roll. I will remember all these little things next year and take along my care package. at Clutoouir, 10721 CoWwcrtrr SX SATURDAY JULY 23 JULY 21 - 22 - 23, 1983 All Participating Marchanta will aatabllah thair own bueineee hours for thia event ★ CHERRY VALLEY (M-37) ★ 891 -9198 STELLA'S PIZZA 9790 Charry Valley (M-37) 891 9287 WESTERN AUTO 9870 Cherry V alley <M 37) 891 1414 ★ CALEDONIA VILLAGE ZENTRE' * Spring & Summer Merchandise D &WFOODS You De*erve Our Beat THE HARVEST BASKET HeahhyFood* 891 8639 ___ CEDAR CLOSET JOY CHRISTIANS THE NEW DESIGN r—r-1 Wear for Woror and Chddren 891 1684 Ladle* Apparel Size* 4 - 20 891 9243 Family Hair Care 891 9267 CHERRY VALLEY JUNCTION LIPPERT PHARMACY UPTOWN CLEANERS Country Look Ln gift* end food 891 9377 AH your pharmacy need* and more 891 1261 Good Ctothee Deearve Good Cl**ntog 8819913 ★ CALEDONIA MAIN STREET * selection Sidewalk Sale Dave ★ July 21-23 3&Y Mon .Turn, Fn„ Set 10-5-30.

Through the 4-H Challenge program, participants learn a variety of skills, including hiking and back­ packing. canoeing, cross-country skiing, orien­ teering and wilderness cooking and survival. According to Gerard, county residents interested in becoming part of the Challenge program, and af­ ter training, serving as group leaders for young people, should sign up now. The 4-H Challenge leader orientation will be in mid-August sometime. Gerard says that anyone interested in becoming a Challenge leader must attend four weekend inten­ sive training sessions, pass a comprehensive written test and take a Multi Media Standard First Aid and CPR course. Additional training in areas such as climbing and rappeling, caving, survival, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, bike touring, winter survival (in­ eluding skiing and snowshoeing) and wilderness backpacking is available. "Because Challenge leaders will be involved in high adventure situations and be responsible for youngsters participating in wilderness outings, they must be prepared.’’ Gerard points out. ‘ After com­ pleting all the training. Challenge leaders become certified and are qualified to take youths on wilder­ ness adventures.” "It's worth all the hard work and studying if you like the challenge of the out-of-doors, ’ ’ Gerard adds. To be eligible for the 4-H Challenge certification program, applicants must be at least 21 years old. Young people aged 16-20 years may become associate leaders, who must be accompanied by a certified adult leader when taking a group of youngsters on a Challenge outing. Training for both leader tyes is identical. Kent County residents interested in signing up for the 4-H challenge leader certification program should contact Tim at the Kent County Cooperative Extension Service office, 775-3265.

DeMille, the famous motion picture producer, was a man of great talents and keen insights. He liked to get off by himself at times to think out a problem. Ode such time he went out in a canoe to quietly drift along wt^lle he thought about his problem. The canoe drifted inshore to a place where the water was only a few inches deep. Looking down he saw that the bot­ tom was crowded with water beetles. As he watched, one of the beetles came to the surface and slowly crawled up on the side of the canoe. Finally reaching the top, it grasped fast to the wood and died. DeMille's thoughts went back to his problem. About three hours later, he happened to notice the beetle again and saw that, in the hot sun, its shell had become dry and brittle. As he watched, it slowly split open and there emerged from it a new form, a dragonfly, which took to the air out of the cold husk, its scintillating colors flashing in the sunlight. That winged creature flew farther in an instant than the water beetle had crawled in a day. Then it circled back and swooped down on the water. The water beetles below might have seen it, too, but now their erstwhile companion was in a world beyond their comprehension. They were still living in their limited beetle world while their winged cousin gained for himself all the freedom between earth and sky. Later, when DeMille told of this experience, he concluded with a very penetrating question, "Would the great Creator of the universe," he asked, "do that for a water beetle, and not for a human being?"

On June 16 and 17, seven officers and their advisor, Mr. Steeby, attended Region V Leadership Camp at the Lansing School District Environmental Education Center near Wayland. They participated in leader­ ship training seminars, contests, business sessions and regional officer elections. They heard several in­ teresting speakers, including State Senator Richard Posthumus. Eleven Caledonia members received their Regional Farmer awards, and the chapter took first place in the Scrapbook Contest, and second place in the Quiz Bowl and Opening and Closing Ceremonies contests. Two Caledonia members were candidates for regional office, Shelly Pickard and Mary Dailey, and Mary was elected as Region V Vice President for the coming year. She succeeds Shaun Gary, also a Caledonia member, who served Caledonia’s FFA Members Having a Busy Summer See CALEDONIA FFA, Page 11 TK School Reorganizes Administration At the July 11, 1983 meeting of the Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education, several administrative changes were recommended by Superintendent Page and adopted by the Board. Henry Dugan, High School Principal, was given the additional title of Assistant Superintendent. Mr. Dugan will still be the full-time High School Principal, and designated as second in authority in the system. He will be given system-wide assign­ ments in addition to his high school duties.

He is West Elementary principal and Director of Special Education for the system. Joe Sanford will remain as Middle School prin­ cipal. Duane Peterson - in addition to his full time teaching duties, Duane will again assume the duties as coordinator for Adult Education and Community Schools.

Dave carried the mail on Route 1 from th eCaledonia Poet Office. His plans for the future include "lots of golf’ and to go south for the winter. After sliding through the ice and snow for 32 win­ ters, he probably will find that a welcome change.

At Your Public Library By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistant Espionage.The word brings to mind spying and involved plots with dire consequences. Why is it that political/espionage novels are so memorable? Perhaps because they are so well written, incor­ porating well known facts to add credibility. Most keep you guessing until the end. Some are fascinating because they deal with institutions mysterious to the common people. Whatever the reasons, there are political novels that are more ex­ ceptional than the rest. Some of these books I haven’t read since high school They were required reading for my government class. I remember being pleasantly surprised to find I actually enjoyed this kind of required reading. Here is a list of personal favorites of the political novel category. Some are recent and some are more than twenty years old. All are worthwhile reading. Convention by Fletcher Knebel and Charles Bailey II. Charles Manchester seems to have the Presidential nomination guaranteed him until he commits a political blunder. Seven Days in May by Fletcher Knebel and Charles Bailey II. This book relates a military plot to take over the government. The plan is uncovered but those who realize what is Happening have a dif­ ficult time convincing others. Fail Safe by Eugene Burdick and Harvey Wheeler. A group of American bombers armed with nuclear weapons is heading for Moscow. Nobody knows why. The Plot by Irving Wallace. A summit meeting in Paris is the only thing that stands between peace and the destruction of the world. All out nuclear warfare will occur if a solution isn’t found. Eye of the Needle by Ken Follett. A German spy has knowledge of the Allied invasion at Normandy. Now he must escape to Germany with this infor­ mation. Advise and Consent by Allen Drury. The President appoints a controversial Secretary of State. Bitter conflicts are revealed as Senate com­ mittees debate his confirmation. The Eagle has Landed by Jack Higgins. Authen­ tic story set in WWII of the attempt to capture Prime Minister Winston Churchill by the Germans. SS-OB by Len D ugh ton. The story is set in Nazi occupied England, 1941. Involved is a dective em­ ployed by the Scotland Yard. When Nazi staff become involved with a case he’s working on, the stakes become very high. Trinity by Leon Uris. Relates Ireland’s troubled past and present and what happens between Protestants and Catholics. Second Lady by Irving Wallace. On a visit to Moscow, an American President’s wife is kidnap­ ped. She is replaced by a Russian actress who is her physical double. Russia hopes to find out valuable secrets this way. The Odessa File by Frederick Forsythe. Odessa is an acronym for a secret organization which protec­ ts the identities and advances destinies of former SS agents. Now secrets are being leaked. By who? The Salzburg Connection by Helen Mac Innes. A chest was hidden in the Austrian Alps by the Nazis before their defeat. A young attorney from New York unwittingly makes the connection and locates the chest. The President's Mistress by Patrick Anderson. A young woman is found murdered. Those who know that she was the President’s mistress wonder whether the President is responsible. If you’ve never read this kind of novel, try one of the above. You may be pleasantly surprised also. If you have favorites I neglected to mention, let me know! I’ll list them in a future column.

The Board of Education has the complete authority to establish that 31 mills must be levied in 1983 from within its present authorized millage rate. The maximum additional proposed millage rate would increase revenues for operating purposes from ad valorem property tax levies in 1983 otherwise permitted by Act 5, Public Acts of Michigan, 1982, by 1.6861 per­ cent (1.6861%). [The figure for increase in revenue for operating pur­ poses is based on the latest estimate of state equalized valuation of property located within the school district. State equalized valuation will not be finalized until after the fourth Monday in May. In the event that state equalized valuation as finalized is for any reason higher than the estimate used for this hearing, the Board of Education must hold another public hearing before levying millage on any higher valuation.} The purpose of the hearing is to receive testimony and discuss the levy of an additional millage rate. Not less than seven (7) days following the public hearing, the Board of Education may approve all or any portion of the proposed additional millage rate. This notice is given by order of the Board of Education. Wesley Van Rhee, Secretary �TUSuadSm. MMdtrrQU. MkU«u/Jaly 21.1883 9. sday as Grandma spent the day visiting and sight­ seeing with friends.

The Sun and News. Middleville. Michigan/JalyH.1983 Dee’s Standard Pony Team Finishes Fine Season In last week's paper Hen-Way’s pony league team was recognized for their excellent season. There are also 14 other young men in town fully deserving of equal recognition. These players, while not being able to boast about their 10-0 season, can be very proud playing .500 ball with a 5-5 record, going into their final game with the undefeated Hen-Way team. This year's Dee’s Standard team have grown in offensive and defensive skills all year and have all displayed fine team spirit and sportsmanship throughout every game, win or lose. Pitching for Dee’s, B. J. Furrow, a seasoned veteran, the only player on the team with prior pony league experience. Other pitchers are Doug Fox. Scott Curtis, Kevin Kidder and Matt Biermacher. While only being able to pitch 4 innings per game, they have filled many spots in the infield, outfield, or behind the plate. The infield has done a great job inproving con­ stantly, sparked by key plays by Jeff Kuhn, Rick Riegler, Kevin Martinez, Scott Thomas, and at first Tim Mesecar, whose batting and base running, along with fine defensive skills which continually sparks rallies and inspires the whole team. Rounding out the team in the outfield, Jandt Herweyer, now used to his new glasses, is batting up a storm. John Duyser and Rod Innes, whose full time position is behind the plate where as mouth­ piece of the team, he tantalizes batters, making them swing at pitches a little out of the strike zone.

Often I have wandered through bookstores wishing I had enough money and time to purchase and read many of those intriguing looking best sellers. I usually spent a great deal of time choosing what I thought would be the best book. Even though a book looked good and was on the best seller list, sometimes I was disappointed. Not only was I out of good reading material, I was out the money. Now I check the new best sellers out from the library. Almost all of the best sellers are in­ cluded in the “new books” collection of the public fiction section. Most are enjoyable and those that aren’t suited to my taste I simply return. I’m out no money! We have several new novels that should be ready for circulation this summer. Some of these are by favorite authors. All of them looked good to me. Here is a sampling of new books that look par­ ticularly appealing. All are fiction. Berlin Blind by Alan Scholifield is a suspense thriller set in London and Berlin.

You should be able to find several that will provide enjoyable reading throughout the summer. Remember that the library will be closed all next week, August 1st through the 5th. It will open again Monday, August 8 at 9:00 a.m., looking much cleaner! BUTTONS AND BEARS I'm very pleased to announce that the summer reading program, Buttons and Bears, is a success. Many children took advantage of this program and spent an enjoyable summer reading books. It was good to see some new faces and the regular faces more often. Our goal was to inspire children to read and appreciate books and to encourage these children to use the library. Hopefully, these young readers will continue to enjoy books. About one hundred and thirty area children are participating. Many have already fulfilled the requirements and have received their certificates and bear buttons.Some of those registered still have a few books to read before completing the program. Remember that you must read ten books on or before August 11 and have them recorded to earn the certificate and button. There is a special day planned for all the children who completed the Buttons and Bears program. Bear Day at the Library is scheduled for August 16 at 1:30 p.m. The festivities will take place in the public library. All attending children should be reminded to wear their bear buttons. These will ser­ ve as your admission tickets. We would also like to extend a cordial invitation to all bears Bring your favorite pet bear, stuffed, ceramic or otherwise. Special awards will be given to your bear guests in various categories. For this special event, we have planned two movies. They are: “The Blustery Day” starring Winnie-the-Pooh, and “A Bear Called Paddington Bear.” If there are some prospective participants who have yet to register, I hope you are fast readers. It is not impossible to complete the program before August 11, but you should start immediately. Sim­ ply stop in the library and tell the librarian that you would like to register. See all of vou kids and bears at the party, August 16! LETTERS To the Editor Carl Rowan, in last Friday’s Press, doesn’t believe Henry Kissinger will solve the Latin mess that he was responsible for creating. He says he thinks Reagan thinks he is using H. Kissinger to con the congress and the American people, but he feels Kissinger is more likely to con Reagan and this colleagues on the commission while failing to flamfloozle either the U.S.public or the peoples of Latin America. All I can add is. dear Lord, please enlighten Kissinger to the seriousness of his com­ mission and guide him in these troublesome times to make the right decision as he is made responsible for so much. He will need all our prayers and best wishes. Maybe redeem himself to the American public. Let there be no more war! Thelma Gehl Barry Co.

STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STA TE REPRESENTA TJVE. 54th DISTRICT Voting highlights of House-passed legislation Removing Gender-based Language from Statues. I voted for a series of bills to make current laws neutral in their reference to gender. For example, an act providing compensation for firemen was amen­ ded to identify the beneficiaries as firefighters. State Funds for Courts. In 1980 I opposed a commitment state government could not afford: the assumption of operational expenses of courts throughout Michigan. This session I supported a one-year delay in the phased-in financial takeover, a $20-130 million state budget savings in 1983-84. A Limit on Redeeming Escheats. When personal property held by a third party such as a bank has gone unclaimed by the owner for seven years, the abandoned account is turned over to the state and is held indefinitely in an escheats fund for redemption by the owner. To eliminate thousands of minor, un­ claimed accounts, I voted for a measure that would make property valued at less than $50 ineligible for recemption after being held five years by the state treasurer. Family Support Subsidy. In one of the most dif­ ficult votes this session, I opposed a bill that will start a new $5 million program in 1983-84. The measure, if it becomes law, will provide a 12,500-ayear subsidy to families who choose to care for their severely developmentally disabled children at home. However well-intentioned the purpose, 1 am concer­ ned this represents a substantial new commitment which an already overextended government will have trouble keeping. Township Board Vacancies. To smooth the tran­ sition when a township board vacancy is due to oc­ cur because of resignation, this bill will permit the remaining board members to appoint a replacement 30 days before the date of resignation — to take ef­ fect upon the vacancy. I voted yes. More Resort Liquor Licenses. This measure will increase from 20 to 25 the number of resort liquor licenses which may be issued annually by the state. At a time when drinking and driving is one of our society's greatest health and safety problems, I believe that 20 new licenses a year is enough. My vote: No. Workers' Compensation. To avoid discouraging the service of volunteer firefighters and ambulance drivers, I supported legislation that will allow public employers to provide workers’ compensation payments in addition to disability benefits to volun­ teers injured while on duty. Beef Marketing Feea. I voted for a bill to clarify that the 0.1% assessment on cattle sales used for Beef Industry Commission marketing promotions applies to veal producers and cattle fed in Michigan but sold out-of-state. Reducing Over-Regulation. Currently employers who help transferred employees by providing short­ term second mortgage loans for housing must be licensed as lenders by the state. I supported a measure to eliminate this burdensome requirement. Auto Registration Fee. Under the transportation tax package passed last year, registration fees for cars purchased after September 30, 1983, will be based on value rather than weight. This bill sim­ plifies the administration of the new system by im­ posing the tax on the base price of the vehicle. My vote: Yes. Redemptions. There is disturbing evidence that the large number of “out-of-court” settlements, or redemptions, of workers’ compensation claims has encouraged more employees to file unwarranted claims. In a fit of overkill, the legislature in 1981 enacted a bill to prohibit all redemptions starting in 1984. I co-sponsored and supported a bill to remove the prohibition, but to give employers more control in the negotiation process by requiring their ap­ It’s your money----it anyway you want to!

Unemployment Changes. In a non-controversial clean-up of last year’s major unemployment in­ surance reform, several amendments were ap­ proved. Included were: my proposal to close a loophole that has allowed some voluntary’ quitters to collect unemployment insurance without taking other jobs; a measure to disqualify’ a claimant who steals from his employer after a layoff or discharge; the provision of ombudsmen to assist small em­ ployers and claimants in getting through the ad­ ministrative process without incurring substantial legal costs; an amendment to provide limited jobless benefits to family members of family-owned cor­ porations who are laid off from work. My vote: Yes. More Resort Liquor Licensee. This measure will increase from 20 to 25 the number of resort liquor licenses which may be issued annually by the state. At a time when drinking and driving is one of our society’s greatest health and safety problems, I believe kthat 20 new licenses a year is enough. My vote: No. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP.

Had a nice Freeze Summer Fruits and Vegetables for Winter Use and Savings Late summer offers a plentiful supply of fresh vegetables ready for freezing. Sweet corn, green beans, broccoli and cauliflower are among those Michigan vegetables ready to be frozen to con­ tribute to more nutritious and enjoyable winter meals. When selecting vegetables for freezing, keep in mind that young, tender vegetables are the most desirable. The best time for freezing is immediately after picking, because the quality of the food begins to deteriorate as soon as the vegetables are har­ vested. The fresher the vegetables when frozen, the more satisfactory will be the final product. Prepare vegetables for freezing much the same way you would for cooking. Wash them under codl running water, so that garden dirt doesn't resettle on the food. While washing, remove bruised or spoiled portions. With the exception of green peppers and onions, vegetables maintain better quality during freezing storage if they are heated before freezing. Heating is an important step in the preparation of vegetables for freezing, because it stops the action of enzymes that can cause loss of flavor, color and texture. Heating also softens the vegetables and makes them easier to pack. The most common method of heating is blan ching. Most vegetables are blanched in boiling water For one pound of vegetables (approximately 4 cups), use one gallon of boiling water. Put the vegetables in a blancher. wire basket, colander or other suitable holder and lower into actively boiling water. Put the lid on the blancher and immediately start counting the blanching time. Do not wait for the water to return to a boil. Consult a reliable freezing book for proper blanching times. Keep heat on high for the entire blanching time. 4 As soon as blanching is complete, cool the vegetables immediately in ice water or cold running water to stop the cooking process. Cooling the vegetables should take about the same time as blan­ ching. When vegetables are cool, remove them from the water and drain thoroughly. Don’t let vegetables stand in water longer than necessary — loss of flavor and nutrients can occur. After the vegetables have been blanched, cooled and drained, pack them in meal-size, airtight, moisture vapor-proof containers, leaving a Mi inch headspace. After packaging, remove as much air as possible from the container, seal, label and freeze. Frozen vegetables should be eaten within one year of freezing to assure optimal nutritional content.

The Board of Education has the complete authority to establish that 31 mills must be levied in 1983 from within its present authorized millage rate. The maximum additional proposed millage rate would increase revenues for operating purposes from ad valorem property tax levies in 1983 otherwise permitted by Act 5, Public Acts of Michigan, 1982, by 1.6861 per­ cent (1.6861%). [The figure for increase in revenue for operating pur­ poses is based on the latest estimate of state equalized valuation of property located within the school district. State equalized valuation will not be finalized until after the fourth Monday in May. In the event that state equalized valuation as finalized is for any reason higher than the estimate used for this hearing, the Board of Education must hold another public hearing before levying millage on any higher valuation.] The purpose of the hearing is to receive testimony and discuss the levy of an additional millage rate. Not less than seven (7) days following the public hearing, the Board of Education may approve all or any portion of the proposed additional millage rate. This notice is given by order of the Board of Education. Wesley Van Rhee, Secretary MIDDLEVILLE PHONE795 3302 Congressional help is needed in battle for gas price relief. Natural gas prices can be brought under control but only with the help of Congress, the vice chairman of Consumers Power Company has testified before a U.S. House panel. James B. Falahee told Con­ gressmen that the utility is frus­ trated, because despite efforts to cushion the effect of price in­ creases to customers, gas costs continue to rise. “Quite simply, we cannot cor­ rect the gas market problems without the help of you and your congressional colleagues, Falahee testified before the U.S. House Subcommittee on Com­ merce, Consumer and Monetary Affairs. “Only you, through legis­ lation and pressure on regulators, can force producers to feel and respond to the pressures of the ‘burner tip.’ ” Falahee blamed the problem largely on a deregulation law created to solve serious supply problems in the mid-1970’s. The law worked. But now it is insulat­ ing gas producers from the ef­ fects of — and having to respond to — lower demand for gas. Legislation is needed to restore the market forces of supply and demand that help keep prices reasonable, Falahee said. Falahee pointed out that Consumers Power’s aggressive measures to cut costs can have only a limited effect He said that 72 percent of the company’s gas rates reflect the actual cost of gas that suppliers charge Consumers Power. The cost of gas is ap­ proved by the federal govern­ ment and is outside the utility’s direct control Among the steps Falahee noted Consumers Power is using to combat rising prices are: —Aggressive participation in federal regulatory process, in­ cluding attempts to prevent importation of Algerian liquefied natural gas (LNC) by a supplier’s subsidiary. The federal govern­ ment has refused to cancel the import license. However, pres­ sure by Consumers Power and others led a governmental agency to order renegotiation of the LNG contract The new tentative agreement that re­ James B. Falahee suited will save customers a sub­ stantial amount of money. — Negotiations with its sup­ pliers are having direct cost payoffs. One pipeline company, Panhandle Eastern, has agreed to reduce its gas costs by about 13 percent. Another has renegotiat­ ed minimum bill tariffs that wall save Consumers Power custo­ mers hundreds of millions of dollars over the next two years. — Internal cost-cutting mea­ sures since 1978 have reduced the company’s region employee levels by six percent They have reduced by nearly 17 percent the per-customer cost of all region operations and maintenance activities. — The company has perform­ ed more than 100,000 home energy analyses for customers. Conservation suggestions which have been implemented are saving participants an average of SI00 annually. But the efforts are not enough, Falahee told Congressmen. “I urge you to join us in our difficult job, by facing squarely the responsibility for legislative reform,” he said. “Only you and your colleagues can provide the changes in the law which will permit us to reduce our mutual gas pricing problems.” This advertisement is paid for by the shareholders of Consumers Power Company 23-261-C �Tfe8uttdNm,MM<ilerUle'Mich^ MIDDLEVILLE NEWS With MARY JACKSON (Mary Jackson, our Middleville correspondent, is spending a few weeks with her daughter in Illinois while she convalesces from surgery on her arm Please phone your news items in to the Sun and News office.)

BOB AND DAVE SENSIBA Father and Son Win the Checkered Flag Bob Sensiba of Middleville has been racing ap­ proximately 20 years, hitting such circuits as Ohio, Milwaukee, Canada, Tennessee, Indiana and several other tracks. He started his racing career at Hastings. Currently, Bob is 2nd in points at the Berlin Raceway and 10th at Kalamazoo. Some of Bob’s enthusiasm and talent has rubbed off on his son Dave as they booth took checkered flags in June at Berlin. Dave, a 20-year old rookie on the track, has taken a few races and has been timing in among the top ten at Kalamazoo in the Sportsman’s Division for time trials. In the pit row, Bob and Dave try to park across from each other. Even with Dave’s 4-man crew, it’s always nice to have Dad’s experienced hand and to be told a few of the track tricks. Dave's crew in­ cludes Tory Tolan, Gary Hall, Ron Janose and his brother Terry. It’s not an easy job out there driving those cars, but it’s not easy for Sue, wife and mother of Bob and Dave, either. Sitting, watching and hoping it will be another safe race, she very seldom misses a night.

Main Caledonia, M.ch.jpn Phone 891 -8222 Fair Deal If a man lives by the Golden Rule, others gradually come to see him as a person who deals fairly and honestly with his fellows, and a reputation develops. Nowadays, to many that is a process which takes too long. They try to establish community confidence quickly by public relations techniques — "I am a good fellow because it says so right here in my publicity.” But con­ fidence lasts only as long as it is backed by real service, fair dealing and a sincere feeling for those in bereavement. Have we achieved that kind of trust and con­ fidence? That is for those who have used our services to say and there is only one meaningful way for them to say it. With deep feelings of gratitude, we note that they have done so. Sincerely CLkav\es The commonly held principle that history repeats itself has been proven over and over again. The only problem is that we often forget some of the hard lessons our ancestors learned. The welfare system is an example of this. Almost a century before Christ, wealthy Roman landowners drove thousands of smaller farmers from their homes and fields, which created the "panis frumentari, ’ ’ or the urban unemployed. Being unable to fend for themselves, the farm families were given grain from government stores on a monthly basis. In 72 B.C.. these unemployed were a force of some 40,000 and 30 years later, under Julius Caesar, their number soared to 200,000. Around 27 B.C., Augustus tried in vain to reduce the number on welfare by refusing, as he put it, "those whose needs were pretended," but he failed, for too many had been used to the free grain for too long. As time went on. the Roman government began to hand out bread, which meant those on welfare no longer had to grind their grain or bake their bread. In fact, it was recor ded that on the first day of the bread giveaway, more than 300,000 Romans clogged the narrow streets to get their share from the bakeries which had to be nationalized for administrative purposes. The state also had to set up an army of officials and clerks to administer the cumbersome program which, f course, meant that the wealthy landowners were strapped with more and more taxes to the point where one baron remarked that “it was no longer a privilege to be a Roman, but a burden.’’ It seems that Rome never learned that when you give a man bread with one hand, you take away something else with another — his incentive and dignity. But when you give him work for his hands, he will supply his own needs.

By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistant Alma Wilcox EDITOR and PUSUSHER Mary Jackson Retires As Sun Reporter For the first time in fifteen years, The Sun and News personal news columns do not carry the “byline” of one of our most faithful reporters, Mrs. Mary Jackson. Mary has retired from collecting the news from her Middleville neighbors and is moving to the Clark Memorial Home in Grand Rapids. Her career as a news reporter really began after she had had many successful years as an elementary teacher, which goes to show activity,, doesn t necessarily have to cease when you “retire. Mary provided this parting item for her “dear friends of Middleville”: "For the last few years I have been your reporter. You have provided me many news items to share; I have enjoyed learning of the important events of your lives and in writing these for the Middleville Sun and News. “Now 1 am moving to the Clark Memorial Home. After mid-August I will be at 1646 Sherman Street, SE„ Grand Rapids, MI 49606. I hope you will con­ tinue to share your news with me, but I know you’ll understand that I’ll no longer be writing it for the paper. M “Thank you, thank you one and all, my friends. ” We will miss Mary’s weekly visits to the newspaper office as she brought in her news items. Her dedication and faithfulness will be sorely missed and we wish her well at her new home.

The periodicals may come in the form of newspapers or magazines. Often specific information published in the last year is required. The information could help you write a term paper, choose a physician or buy a car. Recently a woman won a bet by looking up a football score in an old Sports Illustrated. In the public library, there is a magazine room which contains numerous old and current magazines. Unless you already know the tital and the issue of the magazine, extracting the desired information can be difficult. Once you understand how the Readers Guide operates, however, the magazine roomis simple to use. Contained in the Readers Guide is an index to subjects and authors. Simply look up the subject in which you are interested, and there will be a list of articles and what magazines they are contained in. The librarian will gladly help you fill out a Readers Guide slip and then locate the magazine. Magazines circulate for one week only. They are not renewable. We want to make sure everyone has access to the current material while it is still current! Magazines cover a wide range of topics. I've yet to meet a person who is not interested in at least one of these topics. We receive about fifty magazines on a continuing basis. Many more we have subscribed to in the past. Here is a list of the most popular magazines that the library subscribes to: American Heritage Better Homes and Gardens Computers & Electronics Consumer Report Education Digest Farm Journal Field and Stream Glamour Good Housekeeping Health Hot Rod Ladies Home Journal Life Maclean’s Mechanix Illustrated National Geographic New York Times Newsweek Parents Popular Computing Popular Mechanics Popular Science Psychology Today Readers Digest Saturday Evening Post Scientic America Seventeen Sports Illustrated Teen Time U.S.News and World Report There are also many more. If you need infor­ mation or just want to read the current issue of your favorite magazine, the magazine room is a good place to visit!

The party, featuring movies and awards, begins at 1:30 in the public library. Wear your bear buttons, they are your tickets of admission. obituaries ALTON G. ELWOOD Alton G.

IMS 1 STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STA TE REPRESENTA T1VE. 54fh DISTRfCT Voting highlights Farm Vehicle Registration. Under this measure, farmers who use vehicles exclusively to transport crops from field to barn will be able to register them for a minimum of three months at a lower rate than the current SI 5 annual fee. My vote: Yes. Cutting Paperwork. I voted for legislation eliminating the requirement that state banks make an annual report to the Financial Institutions Bureau, as a similar report is filed with the federal government and is available to the state. Also, I voted to reduce the frequency, from 1 to 3 years • with which consumer finance companies have to file a detailed report with the state. Stronger Enforcement. This package of bills will raise the six month service fee charged by Friends of the Court from SI.50 to S2.00 — thereby providing added resources to carry out last year’s reforms to toughen child support and visitation enforcement. My vote: Yes. Local Maae Transit Funding. To address con­ stitutional concerns, I supported a measure requiring that local transportation authorities levy the same millage rate rather than varying rates in the political subdivisions within their transpor­ tation districts. I also voted for a package allowing such public transit agencies to seek voter approval of a maximum 5-year, .25% income tax for public transportation, to replace reduced federal operating funds. Fur Dealers' License Fees. The annual license fees for resident and non-resident fur dealers in Michigan are $10 and $25 respectively. The revenues raised are used for game protection. I voted for a proposal to raise the fees from $25 to $200, levels which are still competitive with surrounding states. However, an amendment I op­ posed returned the resident fee to $10. Private/Public Cooperation. This bill will require food establishments serving solid food to display in their kitchen areas a poster diagramming an­ tichoking techniques. The American Red Cross will donate the posters, which will be mailed with state licenses to over 37,000 restaurants. I voted yes. More Mortgage Money. Federal law allows each state to issue up to $200 million of tax exempt mor­ tgage revenue bonds each year to provide housing loans for low and moderate-income families. I sup­ ported legislation raising the Michigan State Housing Development Authority bond cap from $100 million to $200 million. This program has suc­ cessfully attracted out-of-state investment capital into Michigan for needed housing. Enforcing Local Truck Routes. Current law requires local authorities to post signs on the streets where trucks are banned. This measure will enable local units to establish truck routes by marked signs and bar trucks from all other streets without posting signs. My vote: Yes. High Speed Passenger Trains. Having died last year in the Senate, this package would allow the State Transportation Commission to override local passenger train speed limits. The legislation an­ ticipates the development of a high-speed passenger train corridor connecting Detroit with other major midwest cities. I voted yes. Emergency Powers. This proposal completely eliminates the termination date on an act giving the Governor emergency powers to restrict the use and sale of energy during periods of severe energy shor­ tages. I opposed the bill on the principle that all statutes should have periodic sunset dates to en­ courage legislative review. Protecting the Mentally Disabled. I supported legislation amending the definition of criminal sexual conduct to include instances where mentally disabled or physically helpless persons are molested by institutional staff or family members who have authority over the victims. Bankruptcy Standing. Current law protects hourly employees of a bankrupt company by giing those individuals preferred creditor status. I voted for legislation to extend that status to salaried workers who are not officers or directors of the in­ solvent business. Ripple Effect. To assist some cash-short local governments, this measure allows local units to borrow against anticipated revenue sharing payments that have been delayed by the state because of cash flow problems. My vote: a reluctant yea. Assisting Mobile Home Buyers and Sellers. I sponsored and voted for a bill to raise the usury ceiling from 7% to 11% on direct seller to buyer financing for the purchase of a mobile or manufac­ tured home. This is similar to the interest rate ceiling on land contracts for conventional homes and should make such direct financing more attrac­ tive for sellers - and mote available for buyers. Watermark In Concert at UMC Middleville Sunday WATERMARK, a musical group based in Wichita Kansas, will be presenting special music Sunday morning at the Middleville United Methodist Church during the morning worship hour which begins at 11:00 a.m. Martin Rude, Steve Ratzlaff and Phil Wiebe, members of the group, will witness with music and song.

The San and New., Middleville, Michigan I Angnst 11.1983 IN TOUCH" WITH BOB BENDER STATE REPRESENTATIVE • 88TH HOUSE DISTRICT As you are undoubtedly aware, the Legislature has recessed for the summer and will be re­ convening after Labor Day. In my last column a couple of weeks ago, I made a few observations about the legislative process itself, and my reactions to them. Certainly, seven months is not enough time to adequately gauge the successes or failures of a new state government, but a few things come to mind that ought to be addressed. Without a doubt, the passage of the income tax increase must be regarded as the major event of the past seven months. I have dealt at length with that particular issue in previous columns, so suffice it to say here that I voted against the 38% tax hike because I felt it was too much, for too long, and that the package did not include a serious look at further spending cuts to balance the budget. On the positive side, the Legislature is coming to grips with welfare reform by establishing a new ap­ proach to a “workfare*' system. I expect to see some significant changes regarding social services if the House and Senate can resolve their differences over a 948 million fund that has been set aside for a workfare/energy assistance programs. Workfare is a system that requires recipients to actively week work, participate in an educational and training program, or actually perform services for the State to pay for a portion of their welfare benefits. When the Legislature returns this fall, we will divide the 948 million between a workfare program for all ADC and General Assistance recipients, and the heating assistance program. Our new Governor has promised us “jobs, jobs, jobs" during his campaign, and through the sum­ mer Youth Employment Program, I suppose you could say he has lived up to that promise. Twentyfive thousand jobs designed for teenagers, however, does not necessarily aid the some 600,000 people in Michigan currently out of work. Much remains to be done on a permanent economic development jobs program when we return in the fall. I think we should keep in mind that nearly half of the money for the summer jobs program comes from the Federal government and the Regan Ad­ ministration. In fact, looking at the first seven months of the 1983-84 Legislature, it would appear that the Federal government has assisted the State quite well. They’ve provided money for the summer youth corps, they’ve provided money to fix our transpor­ tation system, they’ve reduced unemployment, in­ flation and interest rated, and, thanks to the Federal government, we have also gotten a 23% tax cut over the past two years, and in Michigan, that is indeed good news! For Classifieds Call 79S3345 Public Showing Strong Interest in Recycling in Barry County Work Recycling in Barry County was represented this year at the Barry County Free Fair. Our table was staffed every evening and many interested people stopped by for information or just to chat. Brochures, bumper stickers and frisbies were available to supporters of recycling. RIBC is very pleased that the Middleville and Hastings recycling sites are doing so well. All materials are, for the most part, clean and properly prepared by our conscientious recyclers. Empty plastic milk jugs are occasionally left at these sites, however, and we would like to remind recyclers that the Caledonia site, located at Caledonia Foods on M37, is the only site which accepts plastic milk jugs. These should be rinsed clean, flattened and have labels removed. For new recyclers, glass and metal can be recycled at the Middleville site behind the Middle Mart party store on M-37 or the Hastings site located in the fire station parkin 3 lot. Only clear, green and brown glass may be recycled, and it must be clean and separated by color. Labels do not have to be removed from glass. Window glass and light bulbs cannot be recycled. Steve Biermacher from Middleville has volun­ teered to haul our metal from the Middleville site to Summit Steel in Hastings. Summit has requested that our metal be separated. Aluminum foil, pie tins, cans or other small aluminum scrap should be placed in the barrels marked “Aluminum.” Ferrous metal such as ordinary tin cans should be placed in the barrels marked “Tin Cans." To recycle food cans, wash them and remove labels. Open both ends and flatten to take up less space. Remember to recycle your used oil at any service station displaying the black and yellow sign “Recycle Used Oil Here."

Reading charts were colored by the children as they progressed and awards consisted of clown jumping jacks and coloring books. "We tried to make this program as convenient as possible," points out Mary Frydrych, Ad­ ministrative Coordinator of Kent County Library’s Children’s Services department. "The parents and children enjoyed the books at their own rate and in their own home. We’re very pleased with the results and hope parents sign up these children for the Reading Railroad, a similar program that runs from September to June.

Nego­ tiations between the school and the teachers have not produced a contract, and a strike by the teachers is a possibility. The impasse seems to be over a salary in­ crease the teachers want as a part of their con­ tract to teach the coming school year. The board has proposed a wage freeze for this year, but offered to built in increases for the follow­ ing three years. At the last meeting of the two sides, the teachers requested they go into mediation on the contract.

Caledonia Jaycees to Fingerprint School Children August 27 On Saturday, August 27, the Caledonia Jaycees with sup­ port and training by the Kent County Sheriff's Department, will be holding an Operation Identification for the Caledo­ nia elementary school children at the Caledonia Village Centre. Operation Identification is a program to fingerprint youngsters to help authorities search and locate missing children. It is done strictly on a voluntary basis and no parent will be forced to have their children fingerprinted. The Operation will start at 10:00 am. and run till 3:00 pm. Permission slips will be provided for parents to sign and no child will be fingerprinted without a signed permis­ sion slip. Parents will then keep the set of fingerprints for future reference. In conjunction with the operation, the Jaycees will have a fund-raising wishing well for Muscular Dystrophy. Children and parents are encouraged to toss money m the wishing well to help combat neuromuscular diseases. Jaycees is an organization committed to a better life for its members and the people they touch. That's why Jaycees are so involved in finding the cure for the various diseases that cripple millions of children annually. Jaycees want all youngsters to be able to walk and run and play and grow into productive citizens. Since accepting the challenge to find the cure for muscu­ lar dystrophy six years ago, Jay cees and Jaycee Women across the country have raised more than ten million dollars for “Jerry’s Kids” These “kids” are the more than 200.0Q0 Americans afflicted with any one of the forty neuromuscular diseases known collectively as muscular dystrophy Bowens Mill Sets Old Fashion Day A full schedule of old fashioned activities is planned for this Saturday (August 20) at Historic Bowens Mill to observt the fifth anniversary of ownership and restoration of the structure by Neal and Marion Cook. Along with the usual features of Old Fashion Days, a special treat will be the open house of the living quarters on the third level of the mill where the Cooks live. The former grain and storage area and workshop have been transformed from a rustic, sprawling area to a cozy home. Many of the old beams were left exposed, which adds a handsome richness throughout the living quarters. Another highlight of the day will be the first showing of one set of the mfll’s old grindstones. The stones were do- Money is needed to provide treatment for youngsters already suffering and to help research these diseases. Jaycees have pledged to raise more than $2.5 million this year be­ cause they have seen results from the money raised in the past. At last year’s Labor Day Telethon, the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s national chairman, comedian Jerry Lewis, announced that a cure was near for one form of the crippling disease.

Don’t, however, relax until you’ve canned, preserved, frozen or pickled what you can’t eat immediately. It always amazes me how many vegetables are produced by a small gar­ den.

Motion by Freeman, supported by Klaver to give permission to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to Pre-arranged Funerals In recent years, there has been a greatly increased interest in pre-arranged funeral services.* People are realizing the need to record their wishes on funeral services for themselves. They recognize that this takes away the difficult burden of decision making later during the hour of need and assures the family of doing the right things within proper budgets. For some time, this funeral home has recognized the needs and desires of thinking persons to plan ahead. I have developed ways of assisting those who wish to make arrangements in advance. Our funeral home has Quite a lot of families who have so recorded their plans and wishes with us. They appreciate the opportunity to make these wishes known. Most people have definite ideas about the ser­ vices they wish for themselves: specific details such as the minister, the music and scripture readings, flowers, costs, etc. They don’t have to pre-plan their funerals, but they know it's a good feeling when it’s done and the family won't have to worry about it! There are three reasons to pre-plan your funeral Economy — You can save money when you pre­ plan by stipulating only as much in service and mer­ chandise as you wish. Personal Choices — You can choose your own clergyman, music, scripture and the kind of service, down to the smallest detail. Inner Security — It is a weight off your mind, knowing that your arrangements are complete, and the costs will not be a burden to your family. In invite you to visit or call about pre-planning your funeral service. There are no costs or obligations, and you don't even have to pre-pay your funeral to have your wishes made known conduct a door to door campaign in the village. Carried.

This year's proposal is a check-off for wildlife preservation. Both causes are deserving of support but should either be placed in the state budget and weighed each year against other needs - or left to fundraising efforts by private organizations. My vote: No. Neighborhood Assistance. This legislation will allow out-of-state insurance companies to par­ ticipate in the Neighborhood Assistance Act, a program which offers state tax incentives to businesses that provide funds for job training, crime prevention, and community services in cooperation with neighborhood organizations. I voted yes. Verifying Misdemeanor Complaints. When law enforcement officers write citations for minor offen­ ses such as traffic cases, they are required to appear in court to swear to the complaint. To save time and taxpayer expense, I voted for a measure allowing of­ ficers to verify the complaint in writing without ap­ pearing personally in court. For Better Coordination. I supported a bill to simplify accounting procedures for federal, state and local units by enabling county road com­ missions to adopt the same fiscal year, October 1 to September 30, by which the federal and state gover­ nments operate. Energy Assistance. As de-regulated gas prices soar, utility bills will continue to climb. A 1978 statute allows utility companies to provide PSCapproved conservation loan programs for customers with poorly insulated homes. Under this act, some 34,000 homes have been insulated at an average cost per household of 8400 to $600. I voted for a bill to extend this policy through December 31,1984. Upgrading Realtor Education. I supported legislation to increase the educational requirements for real estate brokers and salespersons in order to obtain and maintain their state licenses. I also voted for a companion bill to raise the license fees $3 to pay for this added training. Telephone Accra to Sprah-Im paired. This proposal would require telephone companies to sell or lease telecommunication equipment to speechimpaired persons at cost. My vote: Yes. Boat Titles. Currently motor vehicle owners can get a lost or mislaid title from the Secretary of State within a week if they pay an extra $5.00 fee for ex­ pedited processing. I voted for a bill that will provide the same system for boat owners. Secret Marriage Fra. In 1980 the legislature raised the marriage license fee from $5 to $20, with the additional $15 to be earmarked for county-con­ tracted family counseling services. However, the license fee for secret marriages performed by the probate court was inadvertendly kept at $3. I sup­ ported a measure to correct that oversight. Credit Union Service. Providing greater con­ venience for credit union members, this legislation would allow credit unions to perform services such as cashing checks and receiving deposits for mem­ bers of other credit unions with which they have reciprocal agreements. I voted yes. Energy Conservation Credits. Will a tax credit of up to $3,600 for the installation of solar, wind or water energy conservation devices encourage such conservation measures, or will citizens take these steps with or without the tax break? Because the answer is not clear. I actively sought to limit the continuation of this program for two years only. When that amendment failed, I reluctantly voted for an extension of this tax expenditure through 1989, on the promise that the issue would receive further scrutiny by the House Taxation Committee during this session. Another Bookkeeping Maneuver. Unclaimed or abandoned personal property eventually escheats to the state and is held indefinitely in a special trust for those who may eventually claim their money. To help pay for the summer youth employment and public works programs, the legislature voted to borrow $20 million from the escheats fund. My vote: no. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP. HILLEGONDS.

Main St., Middleville • 795-7847 ‘Growing to Serve You Better” �10 The Sun and New a, Middleville, Michigan / August 18, 1983 BOWENS MILL (Continued) nated to Chariton Park some 40 years ago. In a recent meeting at the park, it was decided the stones should be returned to their original site. The move was not an easy task as each of the huge old stones is 48 inches in diameter and each weighs over 1200 pounds. The “new” old set of stones will be placed on exhibition in an open position. The water power restoration work was completed in the fall of 1981. The water gate was opened and the turbine turned again for the first time in over 40 years. The excite­ ment turned to heartbreak when 5 days later a sunken piece of wood was sucked out of the mud that had built up over the yean and went into the turbine. The big old cast iron shaft, 3” in diameter, which goes through all 4 floors of the mill, snapped off from the sudden stop. Discouraged. Cook went to the drawing board and stated to his wife, “It won’t stop us, it will just slow us down.” Several months later, the blueprints were completed with the plans for the repairs. Now 22 months later the repairs have been completed and the turbine is turning again. This will be the first Old Fashion Day that the old mill has ever been in operation as it was in the old days. As always, a Gospel Concert will wrap up the day. be­ ginning at 7 oclock. The Wesleyan Trio will be performing, as well as Brian Fifelski of Wayland. There is a $ 1.00 each adult gate charge, kids are free, to help with the restoration and for Old Fashion Day activities. The next Old Fashion Day will be September 17 when the Water Powered Machine Shop will have Its grand opening. Historic Bowens Mills is just off Briggs Road. 2 miles north of the Yankee Springs State Park entrance.

He Rod and Kathy Bracy went up to Lapeer over the week said that on the way home from the fair they drove down end to attend Kathy’s 15th class reunion. They visited a small dirt road (lovers’ lane) and their car got stuck in a Kathy’s folks and then went on to Kingston to visit Rod’s huge puddle of water. The car had front wheel drive, so sister. Dick drove while Jean, her niece and her niece’s boyfriend sat on the hood of the car. The wheels were spinning so much that mud spattered all over everyone on the hood of the car and all over Jean’s white shorts. They had to take her to Campau Lake where she borrowed a bathing suit (which Dick said was too small for her!) and got cleaned up in the lake. Then they all went out to dinner. I’ll bet that’s the last time they go dqwn lover’s lane for a while!

MICHIGAN �4 The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan I August 25. 1983 STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STA TE REPRESEN TA TIVE, 54th DISTRICT Voting Highlights Right to Die This highly controversial measure rould enable a person to empower, in writing, a member of the family or a close friend to make lifeand-death decisions concerning medical treatment if he or she were incapacitated. With attorneys, physicians and religious groups split over this issue, the legislature decided there were too many unan­ swered questions and voted down the bill. My vote: no. Prison Hearing Reform. In the wake of the prison riots of 1981, one of the recommendations made by the investigatory committee was to change the disciplinary hearings process for inmates. I voted for a bill to limit the general grounds upon which prisoners could seek administrative hearings, but expand the specific list of instances in which hearings and rehearings could be granted. The goals are to unclog the system, provide fairer treatment of TWO DAY SALE 1—......... ■ j August 29 and 30,1983 FARM EQUIPMENT and DAIRY CATTLE of Ron Walkington 9292 Goddard Rd , Portland, Michigan 48875 Phone 616 / 374-7494 MONDAY, AUGUST 29 Beginning of 12:00 NOON LOCATED AT FARM: South of Ionia, Mich., on M-66, 8‘j miles to Clarksville Rd.

Adult Foster Care Licensing. Under this legislation, community adult foster care homes for mentally ill persons would have to provide specialized services meeting state standards. The right of county mental health boards to locate such residential homes in neighborhoods with local con­ sultation but without local veto power would be maintained. My vote: yes. Mopeds. Current law requires the low-speed, motor driven cycles known as mopeds to have operable pedals. Because many newly-designed mopeds don’t have pedals, their use is restricted in Michigan. I had no objection to a bill modifying the definition of what a moped is. However. I voted against the measure because it also limited the mandatory helmet requirement to moped operators who are 18 or under. For safety reasons, I believe that all operators should wear helmets. Condominium Development. Last year lawmakers voted to end state regulation of the development of condominium project. That sudden change caused some confusion and has halted a number of developments. This rather complex, technical bill would continue the de-regulation process but smooth the transition. My vote: yes. Election Ballot Proofs. Currently county clerks must send printed proofs of voting machine ballots to candidates by certified mail. Tardy trips to the post office by busy candidates have caused delays and added expense in printing the final ballots. To save money and time, I co-sponsored and supported a bill enabling the sending of ballot proofs by first class mail. Spouse Abuse. This measure would allow the court at the time of a divorce decree to permanently enjoin a spouse from entering the premises of an estranged partner with the purpose of committing an assault or taking children from the custody of the partner. Violators could be arrested for reasonable cause without a warrant. My vote: Yes. Plain English. I voted for a bill mandating that personal insurance contracts offered in Michigan meet reasonable levels of reading comprehension • only because of the expressed willingness of the in­ surance industry and the insurance commission to cooperate in achieving that goal. However, I voted agaist a more general measure requiring that other consumer-oriented contracts be written in "plain English." Because of differing ideas as to what "plain English" is and different levels of consumer reading skills, this legislation will likely be defined by courts in a litigation nightmare. More Credit for Farmers. Some state-chartered banks are having difficulty providing enough funds for the credit requirements of their farm customers. This proposal gives state banks the same authority as federally-chartered institutions to invest in credit corporations organized solely to make loans to far­ mers for agricultural purposes. My vote: Yes. Postcript: This concludes the voting highlights from the first session of 1983. During the session 442 votes were cast in the House. I was present for 433, a 98% attendance record. CLAY HILLS With WRETHA McNEE Ida Skinner is in Pennock Hospital. We hope she is much better. Doris Haight and I were among the many who at­ tended the Birthday Open House for Alma Wilcox, on Sunday.

Moped Laws Defin­ ed by Sec. of State Secretary of State Richard H. Austin has ex­ pressed concern over apparent confusion of some moped operators who are operating on public high­ ways without a license. According to Austin, all moped operators on public highways must have a driver license or a special moped license, be at least 15 years of age and register their moped with the Department of State. Moped operators under 19 years of age must wear helmets. Austin said that a new law defines a moped as any two or three-wheeled vehicle that does not exceed 30 miles an hour, has no more than two brake hor­ sepower and no transmission. Under the Michigan Vehicle Code, mopeds are prohibited from operating on freeways, must share a traffic lane with other vehicles and are prohibited from operating on sidewalks. Austin encouraged all moped dealers to inform buyers of the requirements and furnish them with a copy of “What Every Motorcycle and Moped Operator Must Know,” published by the Depar­ tment of State. in the service Team members are (from left): Bruce VanderHeide, Don Steeby, Kevin Kelly, Rich Mc­ Carty, Bruce Oconner.

For those youngsters of school age, it is the most influencing fac­ tor in their young lives. They not only learn academic pursuits, but become socially acceptable people during their elementary and secondary school years. It touches the parents of these young people in that they want their children to receive the very best education available. It touches all property owners of the community when it comes to financing school buildings and the operation of the programs. It touches the people of the community with pride when the kids perform well on the athletic field or on stage. Witness last March when the TK basketball team brought honor and recognition to their school and community. Because the school system is such a very integral part of our lives, it comes with a deep sense of sadness when the em­ ployees (teachers) and our elected representatives (the school board) cannot agree upon an equitable working arrangement (contract). It is easy to point fingers and to assess blame for this breakdown. The board has been accused of being “unbending;” the teachers as being only concerned about their pocketbooks. Probably neither assessment is entirely correct. One thing is abundantly clear to this writer, however. If there continues to be an erosion of mutual trust and goodwill between the employers and their em­ ployees, everyone in the community will suffer. Sweeping aside all economic dif­ ferences, can we truly face one another af­ ter this ugliness is over? Our community — our school “family” — was severely tested a few years ago when the reading of a book in school became an issue. Is this latest test worth opening new wounds that may take years to heal? 113th YEAR * NUMBER 35 TK School to Open, But Teachers May Be Absent Although the Thomapple Kellogg School system is scheduled to open the day after Labor Day, Sep­ tember 6, the teachers may not be there to greet the pupils. Negotiations between the Board of Education and the local Kent County Education Association, representing the TK teachers, broke off without an agreement on Monday of this week. Teachers are threatening to withhold their ser­ vices if the contract is not agreed upon by the opening day of school. At odds is the salary schedule as proposed by both sides in the dispute. The Board of Education has proposed that the teachers work this year at the same salary they were paid for the 1982-83 year. In other words, a "freeze” in the salary schedule. The teachers have asked for a 5.26% increase from the 82-83 schedule and offered to defer that increase un­ til next year. Both sides propose increases in sub­ sequent years. Citing the lack of funds available for such a salary increase, Superintendent Gerald Page said that the teachers’ proposal would mean "7.1% in new money’ or about $140,000." He estimates the fund balance at the end of this school year (if the so-called freeze takes place) will be about $68,000. Also under discussion were insurance protection Gou. James Blanchard urges motorists to follow and an early retirement incentive program, but these items do not seem to be a stumbling block in th "School's Open — Drive Carefully" advice of the Automobile Club of Michigan.

A year later Marty arrived to complete our family. The first few years here, we painted, papered, remodeled, and furnished our house. We furnished it with material possessions, and we furnished it with dreams, hopes and love. We filled it up, and it became our home. We filled it with family and frien­ ds. We used it, enjoyed it, and struggled to keep up with it. Many birthdays, Christmases, anniversaries, graduations, and even one wedding have been celebrated within these walls. We’ve shed our share of tears, and seen some of our dreams fade, too, and the big house has continued to be our home, our castle, our refuge, and sometimes our cross. Almost too soon to realize, our family has grown up and begun to pursue their own goals. We’re lucky enough to have them around often, but the big white house is no longer their home. After a good deal of discussion, and with very mixed feelings, Don and I decided that we are ready to give up the big house, to try living in a very dif­ ferent kind of house. With encouragment from all our family, and with a great deal of help from son Mike, we’re preparing to build a new home, which will incorporate many of the energy saving features Mike has spent the past two years studying. We’re very excited about our new venture, but we do, of course, hate to leave a house that has meant so much to us. We find ourselves packing twenty years' memories along with the furnishings. Leaving “our" house is easier for us because we’re leaving it in the hands of Pat and Duane That­ cher, Melissa and Tad. They already love it, and will enjoy it to the fullest, as we have, I’m sure. It has been a happy house for us, and we sincerely hope it will be for them. In the meantime, Don and I plan to be “vacationing" at Gun Lake while our house is under construction. We try to be patient, knowing that we can’t just conjure up a new house. We re learning that it takes time to develop a design and lay all the groundwork. Never having built a new home, we aren’t always realistic in our expectations and sometimes find it hard to be patient with delays, but we are learning. If you notice that Don and I have bemused ex­ pressions and slightly glazed eyes in these next couple of weeks as we try to vacate this house, store our furnishings, settle into temporary quarters, help get our building underway, work as usual, and maintain our sanity, please remember to be patient with us!

BOYSEN EDITOR mN PUBLISHES I At Your Public Library By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistant Congratulations to the Caledonia Family Tavern Men's Slow pitch team. The men became the District Class C Slow pitch Champions after going undefeated in Otsego August 20-21. This now qualifies them to enter the State finals to be held in Sault Ste Marie over Labor Day week end. There they will go against 20 other teams for the recognition of State Class C Slow pitch champions. The team took wins in Otsego over Akus State Farm of Wayland by 10-5, Consumers Concrete 10-9 and the championship game held on Sunday, again beating Jack's Webb 12-3. The team has played in the Middleville league and came in second in the Moline league this season. A play off with G & G Pork Farms for the Middleville championship is scheduled for August 31st, 7 p.m. at Spring Park. Good luck to the men at their games. Almost all of the public patrons head directly to one section when they come to the library. That is the new fiction section. Here we have two bookcases devoted to fiction works that have recently been published. We have recently completed processing many new fiction books and they are now in this section. Because of the popularity of these new books, I thought it would be helpful to provide a list of the best of these new books. I m not going to at­ tempt to review’ each book. Hopefully you will recognize favorite authors or interesting titles. If there is a particular new book that you would like to read but cannot find it on the shelves, check with the librarian. If the library owns the book, it is possible to reserve it so that you won't have to go through the hit and miss system every time.

Main, Caledonia, Ml �IN TOUCH WITH BOB BENDER STATE REPRESENTATIVE • 88TH HOUSE DISTRICT Prevailing Wage Law - A Deterrent There is little doubt that any prevailing wage law increases the costs of construction projects. The only question is how much, and who is affected positively and negatively by prevailing wage legislation. There are two prevailing wage laws in Michigan. The federal prevailing wage law applies to construc­ tion jobs funded all or in part by Federal Funds. The state prevailing wage law applies to all construction by the State of Michigan in which federal funds are not used, all construction projects in school districts and for other public units funded by the state, and for all economic development corporation projects. The state prevailing wage law has already proven to be a deterrent to many EDC projects that would have created new jobs and generated new sources of revenue for many Michigan communities badly in need of both new jobs and broader tax bases. In fact, the Michigan Department of Commerce reported that the state prevailing wage law was the major factor in decisions to delay five projects in the Midland-Saginaw area, including a plant expansion project, a shopping mall, and a hotel/convention center. While a study by the General Accounting office found that the federal prevailing wage inflates local prevailing rates by 30%, the Michigan Department of Commerce found that the Michigan prevailing wage inflates local prevailing wages, particularly in outstate areas, far beyond that of the Federal law. In Kent County, for example, the State prevailing wage for carpenters is 63% more than the federal prevailing wage, and 59% more for unskilled laborers. What can be done, then, to correct this apparent problem? Obviously, the cleanest and surest way would be to repeal the State’s prevailing wage law. Just as obviously, given the composition of the legislature and the support of the governor for a strong prevailing wage law, that simply is not going to happen. It becomes a challenge then to try to develop legislation which would make some positive changes in the current law, without throwing it out altogether. One proposal, which several of my colleagues and I have been working on, for introduction when we reconvene in the fall, would maintain the State’s prevailing wage law, but require that it be exactly We’ll help you through the financial jungle Because it's your money, you want to be sure and make the right choice.

This would reduce the cost of state construction and EDC construction significantly in out-of-state Michigan. No one seriously argues that the state prevailing wage law does not hinder economic development and costs jobs. But, proponents of the prevailing wage believe that the higher wages for workers and the security such laws provide to labor unions are worth the added cost to the taxpayer and the lost jobs through retarded development. Those of us who oppose the state prevailing wage argue that in­ creased jobs and lower costs for public construction are in the best interest of the general welfare, regar­ dless of the interests of any narrow econmic or political faction. Church Library' Assoc. to Hold Workshop on September 26 The Fall Workshop of the Southwestern Michigan Chapter of the Church and Synagogue Library Association will be held Monday, September 26, from 9:30 a.m. until 3:00 p m. at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 3334 Breton Road, SE, Grand Rapids.

In short, for a Republican lawmaker, it’s not as fulfilling as it used to be. How often I’ve heard the comment that public policy should not be shaped solely by partisan politics. I agree, but the fact remains that party af­ filiation is fundamentally important in our gover­ nmental process. The party in control of the House and Senate predictably will unite on at least one vote during the legislative session: the election of the House Speaker and Senate Leader. Those two powerful lawmakers then appoint the committee chairper­ sons who are always members of the majority party. For well over a decade, Michigan citizens have elected Democratic majorities to the Michigan House and- Senate. Until this year, however, Democratic control of the legislative agenda was Family Vision Care Contact Lenses in the New Caledonia Village Center 9361 Broadmoor Open Monday thru Saturday Thuraday night unul A p m Phone 891-9245 tempered by the initiatives of a Republican Gover­ nor. That partisan balance no longer exists. Gone are the days when other minority leaders and I would meet regularly with Governor Milliken to develop a legislative program and the strategy to enact it. Republican members have lost the leverage which allowed us to warn the majority, “If you don’t com­ promise your position in the legislature, the Gover­ nor will have the final word with his veto power ”. Governor Blanchard and the legislative majority proved on the two most important issues of the first session — the income tax hike and next year’s budget — that Democrats have the power to propose and pass the public policies they want. But as recent public unrest has demonstrated, citizens do not often appreciate the exercise of power, partisan politics. I believe that Governor Blanchard is in trouble today because of style as much as substance. Many people are upset by how the Governor rammed the income tai through the legislature, as well as what he pushed. Republican lawmakers should not be crojving over the Governor’s unpopularity, however. While Blan­ chard is not providing the kind of leadership many Michigan citizens hoped for, the Republican minority has failed to fill the void. On both the tax and budget issues, Republicans had difficulty defining alternative positions. If the majority was too power-hungry to compromise, the minority was not unified enough to negotiate. Only on the question of economic development have Republicans put forward a farsighted, com­ prehensive program. Perhaps the kindest thing that can be said about the first session is that the new Governor and legislature suffered growing pains. I only hope that as the fall session gets underway, both sides will mature in a hurry. Michigan cannot afford continuing partisan warfare and power games on such questions as taxing, spending and economic development. If Governor Blanchard is wise, he will try to heal a divided state by seeking bi-partisan cooperation. If Republicans wish to restore a partisan balance to state government, we will have to offer to the Governor and the people a more positive vision from Michigan. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP.

ADDRESS LETTERS TO HIM AT STATE CAPITOL BLDG., LANSING, MICH. 48909 BETTY'S TOWNSHIP OF THORNAPPLE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON INCREASING PROPERTY TAXES The Township Board of the Township of Thor­ napple will hold a public hearing at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, September 12,1983, in the Township Hall, E. Main Street, to receive testimony and discuss a proposed additional 1983 Township operating millage rate. The Township utilized an operating tax rate of 1.2936 mills ($1.29 per $1,000 SEV) for 1982. Because of a recent State Law (Act 5 of 1982), the Township’s base tax rate is reduced to 1.2711 mills for 1983. This is 0.0225 mills ($0.02 per $1,000 SEV) lower than the 1982 operating rate. The Township has complete authority to establish the number of mills to be levied from within its authorized millage rate. In order to maintain basic Township services, the Township proposes to levy an additional millage rate of 0.0225 mills ($0.02 per $1,000 SEV) above the 1.2711 mill base tax rate, or a total operating rate of 1.2936 mills ($1.29 per $1,000 SEV). This will provide an estimated 1.77 percent increase in Township operating revenues. Public comment on this proposed increase is welcome at the public hearing.

We left on Nor­ thwest Orient Airlines and went to Minneapolis, changed planes to Seattle where son Jim and two boys, Brian and Bradley, met us and took us to Jim’s home. The weather was beautiful most of our two week vacation except for one night and part of the next day when it rained. We spent a lot of time working, helping Jim fix up his yard. It’s a very attractive lit­ tle place. The boys cut down a big crabapple tree and burned it, removed a pine tree from the pool area and planted it out in front of the house. We dug out the crabgrass, trimmed bushes, and Bob put plastic down around areas and put bark chips on it. Thursday. August 9 we drove to Mt. Rainier Paradise Park which is 6000 ft. above sea level. There is usually snow here and very cold, but this year it was 80’s and no snow. Much construction was being done. Many things to see in the pavilion. Tom and I climbed farther up the mountain and brought back snowballs to the others. Spring flowers were blooming all over the area. We had a picnic dinner and I bought a turquoise ring this day. Wednesday we went blackberry picking in the morning, got ten quarts. Froze some and made pies too. In the afternoon we went to Bremerton and were on the SS Missouri where the WWII peace treaty was signed. At night we had a clam chowder, fish dinner, all-you-can-eat at Skipper's in Puyallup. We went to Seattle on Thursday and on the way saw the Tacoma Dome when David Bowie, the rock singer, sang to 2,800 people that week. Folks visited all night in their sleeping bags to see him perform. We saw AW AC Radar planes, Boling Airport. We attended Fun Forrest and rode on the rides. My specialty was “Enterprise’’ Which Tom and I rode on, as did Bob and Brian. We rode up on the space needle outdoor elevator. This area was the site of the 1962 World's fair. Jim just missed getting hit on the head with a golf ball someone threw down from up on the patio at the Space Needle. We stopped on the way down the mountain at “Copper Creek’’ restaurant and gift shop where fresh blackberry pie was SI .85 a piece out of a pie cut in 8 pieces. Friday we went to the Pacific for beachcombing and on a picnic. Saturday August 13 we went to Clyde’s Slide. Tubing about 4 ft. in diameter up high with running water in it and we sat on a rubber pad and went down two slides. I went once and the boys went five times. It was a thrill. At night the adults went to see “Tender Mercies’’ and the young folks saw “Vacation.’’ Sunday we drove to Point Defiance Park and zoo, which was fabulous, The Marada Falls, Fort Nisqually, where the Indian performers celebrated 150 years since the Fort was built. Five Indian tents with normal Indian supplies were set up to inspect and they had their wares for sale. A blacksmith was making a knife which intrigued many folks. Throwing knives and shooting guns in a horizontal cut tree trunk set up for target were demonstrated. Then an Indian ceremony was performed. Nancy purchased a turquoise ring here. Monday, August 15, we went to the King Dome in the evening to see the Mariners get beat by the Minnesota Twins. Tuesday Jim, Nancy and I got up at 5:30 a.m. and took Nancy to the airport as she returned home. In the afternoon the rest of us w.ent to the Mt. St. Helen’s viewing area. We watched movies in the building about St. Helens. We were 57 miles cross­ CONSOLIDATED REPORT OF CONDITION OF State Bank of Caledonia CONSOLIDATED REPORT OF CONDITION of STATE BANK OF CALEDONIA of Caledonia, Michigan 49316 and Foreign and Domestic Subsidiaries at the close of business June 30,1983 a state banking institution organized and operating under the banking laws of this State and a member of the Federal Reserve System Published in accordance with a call made by the State Banking Authorities and by the Federal Reserve Bank of this District.

As part of the last ride, the boys also spent a couple of hours helping to clean up debris from last week’s storm at Gun Lake. The boys also swam and some of them learned to water ski. One more bike ride remains — a 50-miler — which will be done in September. The troop will be busy this week fixing up their trailer, which was donated by Bill Kenyon. They will also finish their Hiking skill award by hiking along the old railroad track from Middleville to Caledonia.

Tom and I took the boat. Bob, Brian and Brad took the canoe. We had a race and a paddle water fight. Thursday we went to Snoquachie Falls, north of Tacoma. It was beautiful and we hiked Vi mile, very steep hill down to the base of the Falls. Brad tum­ bled and skinned up both knees. Brian fell in the river and got soaked. Fun! Friday we went out for fish dinner and saw a movie. Saturday and Sunday we were invited to dinner at the boys' mother on the patio, and their stepdad took Bob, Tom and Brian putting as Brad was swimming in the pool with the neighbor boy.

Sherman South Kent Veterinary Hospital �The Son nd New*, Middleville, Michigan I Septamber 1,1983 9 TK TROJANS 1983 FOOTBALL PREVIEW The Middleville Trojans begin the 1983 season with hopes of winning at least a share of the OK Blue title. Although the Trojans lost many key per­ formers from last year’s 6-3 team, they return the solid nucleous of seniors necessary for a successful year. The most difficult task for Middleville will be fin­ ding a replacement for All-State quarterback Jim Schipper. Currently, senior Tim Heffner, who played last season as a wide receiver, has the inside track. Junior Mike Newhouse could also see plenty of action in the Trojans pass oriented offense which normally throws on almost half of their offensive plays. Finding someone to pass to shouldn t be a problem either for Heffner or Newhouse, for once again, the Trojans have a talented corps of receiver, led by sure-handed senior tight-end, Rob Pickard. Seniors Lester Caldwell and Scott Duflo and juniors Mike Browne and Darold Smelker should fill the receiver positions vacated by Dave VanSickle and Tim Lukas, both all conference selections of 1982. The Trojans hope to offset their passing attack with a brutal running game. Senior speedster Monty Sanford, Middleville’s halfback, tips the scales at 170 lbs. and his running mates, senior Scott Kamin­ ski and Tom Berry, 186 and 190 lbs. respectively. With help from juniors Steve Rosenberg and Rob Anders, Middleville should have its finest backfield in three years. The Trojans’ biggest weakness will be the often- FALL s LEAGUE, ^OPENINGS ! 1 YOUTH -A»*«5to IS Sign-up September 10, 9 o.m. to 2 p.m. sive line. Senior tackles Jeff Wohlford (234 lbs.) and Nathan Briggs (214 lbs.) will provide the only real experience in the trenches. Seniors Evan Miller and Paul Ordway and junior Thad Wenger will compete for the two guard positions. While Mitch Mugridge, Scott Noffke and Hanz Davis will each be given the opportunity to start at center. Middleville's defense should be very strong providing it remains injury free. Defensive backs, Scott Duflo and Rob Pickard, have both the talent and experience, as do line backers Scott Kaminski, Paul Ordway and Mitch Mugridge. Anchoring the defensive line will be standouts Jim Gonzales (noseguard), Randy Winchester (end), and Nathan Briggs (tackle). Filling the other positions are Ed Pawloski (end) and Kyle Plank (center) and Tony Plants (tackle). The Trojans could challenge for the title, although Hamilton has to be considered the favorite. Com­ stock Park and Hudsonville will also be challengers. Caledonia and Kelloggsville with new coaches could be a surprise, and Byron Center has been a solid team the past years. Lee is still rebuilding. Injuries will most likely determine Middleville’s Northwest Thornapple With HAZEL LUND Lyle and Edna Wood took Sunday dinner to Chuck and Joyce Wilson at their Payne Lake Cot­ tage. James and Barb Bedrick and children. Steve and Sandy Cargill and daughters, had supper at the Middle Villa Sunday evening and went bowling. Walt and Linda Nelson, Laura and Michelle spent from Saturday until Monday vacationing at Kings Island in Cincinnati. Ohio. Wally and Sue Kitzman, Nicolas and Lisa of Conrad, Iowa, left Saturday after spending a week with her parents. Frank and Alice Brown and Frank Jr. Tammy Cargill, daughter of Steve and Sandy Cargill, attended a birthday party for 5-year old Mike Marshall in Kentwood Saturday afternoon. Ann Blain, daughter of Roger and Nancy, atten­ ded the Brown reunion on Nancy’s mother’s side with Esther Burch and Chuck Davis in Indiana Sunday. Sunday afternoon Roger and Nancy Blain and daughters Laura and Cherlyn visited with Roger’s niece, Virginia Looy in Zeeland hospital. Linda Marquard, Pam Converse and Marcia Lund took Hazel Lund out Saturday afternoon to Mr. Steaks for her birthday. Billy and Ginger Lucas drove their motorcycles to King’s Island in Cincinnati and Springdale Music Palace from Saturday until Monday evening. Steve and Colleen Lund of Grand Rapids came to visit his parents. Bob and Hazel Lund Monday evening. Clair and June Tungate enjoyed having their grandsons, Scott and Douge Witte of Grand Haven, spend a few days with them. On Sunday Dale and Mary Beth Witte and boys and Clair and June en­ joyed dinner at Bill Knapp’s. fate, as the Trojans have seasoned performers at key positions, but lack depth everywhere. As the season progresses. Tim Heffner, whether playing at end or quarterback, should prove to be driving force of Middleville’s aerial assault on the OK Blue. If the Trojans can successfully throw against their op­ ponents. don’t be surprised if they finish at or near the top of the Blue. 66 Participate in Caledonia Tourney Outstanding play, sportsmanship and fellowship characterized the 1983 Caledonia Tennis Tour­ nament, according to Mike Bos. Toumarrtent Direc­ tor. Sixty-six participants from Caledonia and the Grand Rapids area played in two divisions — local for Caledonia residents and Open for anyone in the Grand Rapids area. Champions were crowned after 136 matches, played within a two-week period of time. The champions are: High School: Women’s singles - Denise Baker, fir­ st. Women’s doubles • Denise Baker and Debbie Vonk, first. Men’s singles - Dan DeMorrow. Local: Women's singles - Julia Colvin, first. Men’s Singles - Garry Ringnalda first. Mixed doubles Garry Ringnalda and Pat Ringnalda. Open: Women’s singles - Kathy Thompson first. Men’s singles under 35 ■ Mike Bos first. Men’s Singles over 2)35 - Ron Blakeney first. Women's Doubles - Betty Oosterhouse and Karen Wright. Men’s Doubles • Lee Islaer and Larry Gray. Mixed Doubles - Mike Jazzer and Sue Hakeem. The tourney attracted some of the area’s best ten­ nis players. The double elimination factor, ideal playing condition and spirited play all blended to make the competition close with some outstanding individual efforts. There were several matches that were finally decided by a third set and one went to the 12 point tie-breaker before a winner emerged. Mike Bos was assisted this year by a group of helpers who made posters, wrote letters, called par­ ticipants and helped schedule the matches. They were: Pat Ringnalda, Arlene Haiduck, Linda Clark and Bob Evans. This exciting tourney that brings together some of the finest sports enthusiasts in the Grand Rapids area is all made possible by the sup­ port of the John DeVries Insurance Agency; the State Bank of Caledonia, Harold Gless, President; and the Caledonia Community Education, Bob Evans, director. > Happy Sweet 16th Rirthday I KRISTIN HOLLSTEIN Love, Dad, Mom and Billy ADULT MIXED • Wednesday, 9:30 a.m. (Starts Mid-October) • Sunday 4 p.m. - Sept. - Dec.

Bruce Chase visited his grandparents, Clifford and Jennie Davis on Sunday afternoon. Most everyone says it’s too hot to have news, or they are busy canning. This isn’t the greatest weather to have a canner going, or tomato sauce bubbling on the stove, but that’s the way it is. Ward and Jessie Bender were at Gobles on Sun­ day with Monty Bender and his fiance. Fritz and Alice Steiner and I spent Sunday at the Antique Show at the Allegan Fairgrounds (while Tom was at his golf league outing.) I think we saw everything, but could probably walk around three times (if you had the time and energy) and still see something you hadn't before. Great fun, and I came home feeling so rich, also thankful that I was the pack rat of the family who saved much of the old stuff that now goes by the name of “antique.” Have a good Labor Day holiday - but please drive carefully.

Much of that experience has been frustrating — the 38% income tax increase, on which I voted “no”, and the 13 percent increase in state spending planned for 1983-84 are good exam­ ples. It is especially disconcerting to learn that the Senate Fiscal Agency is now predicting a $149.5 million surplus of tax dollars when the current fiscal year ends September 30. What does that mean? Simply that the tax increase was more than the state actually needed to balance the budget Gover­ nor Blanchard’s dire predictions were excessive. As vice-chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, I had predicted early in the “Great Income Tax Debate” that a 38% tax hike would result in a sur­ plus. I’m not happy to be right, however. Just adamant that those extra dollars must go back to the taxpayers and not into extended state spending. Another issue we must face when the Legislature reconvenes is what to do with $43 million in the Department of Social Services budget. That con­ troversial amount was left open for a decision in September. The Governor hoped to see it go into welfare grant increases. Other Democrats want it to go into energy programs. I would prefer to see it in­ vested in job training and experience for welfare recipients - to help them back to permanent em­ ployment. An almost endless list of other issues await action in the fall. To give you a quick roundup, I will touch on a number of topics that were opened in the first six months and remain yet unresolved. The Governor’s Strategic Investment Bank: Should government be involved in raising venture capital by creating a fund of corporate dollars, or is that function better left to the private sector? Michigan’s Educational System: Student scores are increasingly disappointing. How do we improve them? Some ideas - Merit pay for teachers, longer school days and school years, mandatory basic educational requirements, and stricter competency tests for teachers and pre-graduates. Prevailing Wage: Michigan's high wage levels are serving as a deterrent to new businesses. Republicans would like to see the "prevailing union scale” wage dropped for projects that use tax dollars. Tax money is now going toward projects that cost 20 to 30 percent more than the average national Imarket price. Health Care Costs: With health care prices spiraling well beyond the rate of inflation, it’s become imperative that the legislature do something te help bring them down. Currently, ideas before us include medical malpractice reform, new Medicar plans, benefit coordination and more price competition among health care providers. * Worker’s Comp and Unemployment Comp: These high-cost items are putting a heavy burden on Michigan businesses. A strong effort must be made in the upcoming session to reduce the costA of these benefits and remove them from the base of the Single Business Tax, which is also too high. Other issues that will be occupying our time and effort: Senior Citizen interests, including health and nursing care costs, ageism, and economics; Prison overcrowding and conditions; the need to en­ courage increased tourism: Attracting robotics, data processing and other high-tech businesses to Michigan; The selling or saving of State land; and the possible abolishment of the Presidential Primary. The primary challenge facing us, of course, is how to stimulate further Michigan economic recovery and protect this state’s eroding business climate while providing permanent jobs for our citizens. Along with that is the desperate need to improve our other products — our students, the products of Michigan schools. These items are just a sample. If you have other issues you’d like the Legislature to address or an­ swers to some of the questions I have posed, please contact my office at 517-373-0797 or write Senator Dick Posthumus, State Capitol, Lansing, MI 48909. �Ttee Sun mdNew*,Mktefievme,Mkhig«wSepUmberL IMS 11 Physical Exaiji Important for School Readiness Classified Ad Rates MEMORIAMS THANKS lOCPer Word, Per Insertion If you pay in advance, you save a $1.00 billing charge.

School should be an enriching and enjoyable ex­ perience for all children. And it can be, according to the Michigan State Medical Society, if parents en­ sure that their children are physically and mentally prepared. A physical examination is an important part of readying children for school. It can, in fact, mean the difference between success and failure. Each year thousands of children enter school with medical problems — speech, eyesight, hearing, and other physical disabilities — which impair their academic performance. Typically, physical exams cover all aspects of a child’s health in an attempt to identify potential problems. Should an irregularity be disclosed, the physician, parents and school personnel can all work together to resolve or minimize it. Most Michigan communities require a health check-up for the first-time school students. Physical exams are also essential for children intending to be involved in organized athletics. The physician may then look specifically for health problems such spor­ ts activity might cause or heighten. Complete and current immunizations are required for all students by Michigan law. Appropriate vac­ cinations and boosters can be administered to children at the time of their physical exam. Child health, of course, isn’t important only at the beginning of the school year. So, aside from giving children the professional care they need, parents should make certain their children get adequate sleep, exercise and healthful nutrition. They should also remind children of basic safety rules such as crossing streets only at intersections, obeying crossing patrol guards, walking with a companion and avoiding strangers. The Michigan State Medical Society is hoping that by reminding parents of these important health-preserving practices. Michigan school children may become happier, healthier students. three tran­ p.m. 35 1 to collect?* BABYSITTER wanted, 3 ■ 5:30, MF. By West Elementary School.

The “Sew for Profit” seminar, sponsored by the Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service, will be held at the Radisson Inn, 400 John­ son St., beginning at noon on Sept. 16. The seminar will deal with all areas of dressmaking, alteration, repairs and other needle-related skills. Twenty four workshops, several speakers, and a variety of commercial and educational exhibitors will be featured, says Isabel Jones, MSU Extension specialist in clothing and textiles. "The workshops will cover a wide range of con­ cerns.” says Jones. "Some provide management in­ formation and others provide techniques to improve skills. Each participant can take up to seven workshops. “One problem that many small business owners face is lack of contact with and knowledge of supply sources," Jones says. “At the seminar they will have an opportunity to talk to suppliers, place or­ ders or arrange for appointments with various representatives. ’ ’ In addition to the formal learning sessions, con­ ference participants will have an opportunity to locate and meet people who do specialized services, or to offer their services through a specialized locator desk.

Austin joined Governor Blanchard in asking all motorists this Labor Day weekend to continue their good driving record already established over the Memorial and fourth of July weekends. Austin, Chairman of the Michigan State Safety Commission, said that 21 individuals died on high­ ways over the 1982 three-day Labor Day weekend. This year, however, total deaths over Memorial Day and Fourth of July weekends have dropped. “If motorists continue this trend, we are looking at a new low for Labor Day fatalities. ” Austin said. Traditionally, the Labor Day weekend brings an end to summer and a beginning to fall — and school for children. An auto mishap should not destroy this last major holiday weekend and chance for many to get in a last bit of summer vacation. YOU and YOUR VISION By Richard J. Choryan, O.D. Diabetes and Vision Diabetes is a disorder of one’s body metabolism. In this disorder, the body 's ability to process sugar in the system is either decreased or is completely lost. The effect this has on one’s vision is varied an^i often times confusing to the undiagnosed diabetic. In the past, it was not unusual for a diabetic to have 2 or 3 pair of glasses, all of them having a dif­ ferent prescription. This was due to the fact that their vision was changing from one day to the next because of the diabetes. The spectacle lens prescrip­ tion of a diabetic can change depending on the level of the blood sugar. Now with the medication available, the blood sugar can be stabilized and steady vision can be an everyday occurrence. Another effect on the eye is in the form of a snowflake cataract. This only occurs in an uncon­ trolled diabetic with a very high blood sugar count. This type of cataract will disappear when the diabetes is brought under control. sk*****^**^****^***^***^*^^:*^****^*' * * * CREATING FAMILY * * * * FILM SERIES * * INTIMACY, LOVE and SEX * % * * * FIVE PART FILM SERIES FEATURING % % THERAPIST AND MARRIAGE COUNSELOR CLAYTON C.

The techers and the Board of Education have been locked in a contract dispute and the teachers had threatened to withhold their services if an agreement was not reached before school began. The board wished to “freeze” the pay scale for this year while the teachers were seeking a minimum 5.25% increase. Both sides had moved somewhat from these positions, but not enough, ap­ parently, to agree on a contract. 1983 TROJAN VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM The two sides had been under mediation, and ac­ cording to Superintendent Gerald Page, the Front row, from left: Darrell Smelker, Thad Wenger.

Main Street, to receive testimony and discuss a proposed additional 1983 Township operating millage rate. The Township utilized an operating tax rate of 1.2936 mills ($1.29 per $1,000 SEV) for 1982. Because of a recent State Law (Act 5 of 1982), the Township’s base tax rate is reduced to 1.2711 mills for 1983. This is 0.0225 mills ($0.02 per $1,000 SEV) lower than the 1982 operating rate. The Township has complete authority to establish the number of mills to be levied from within its authorized millage rate. In order to maintain basic Township services, the Township proposes to levy an additional millage rate of 0.0225 mills ($0.02 per $1,000 SEV) above the 1.2711 mill base tax rate, or a total operating rate of 1.2936 mills ($1.29 per $1,000 SEV). This will provide an estimated 1.77 percent increase in Township operating revenues. Public comment on this proposed increase is welcome at the public hearing.

His folks came up for a day too. Sure was great weather for camping. The Phil Benders left Thursday with their trailer for the north country. They camped at St. Ignace, visited both Mackinac apd Drummond Islands and returned home Sunday in time to attend the Bender reunion at Spring Park. They spent Monday relaxing at the church campgrounds. Walter and Lois Bender. Ward and Jessie Bender were also among the nearly 50 persons at the Bender reunion. On Monday Mr. and Mrs. Earl Willyard of Grand Rapids picked up Clifford and Jennie Davis and all spent the day with nephew and son, Mr. and Mrs. Ken Willyard at Allegan. A highlight of the weekend on the Prairie was the wedding of Dan Wenger and Arm Bryans Saturday night. The wedding was at the United Methodist Church with reception at the Community Building in Hastings. All reported a beautiful wedding and good time. The rehearsal dinner was hosted by Bob and Helen Wenger at their home Friday evening. Pat and Judy Harrison hosted a family picnic Saturday night for some 32 members of the Harrison family. Out of town guests included Bob and Pauline Brower of Wisconsin. Ken and Joie Klumpp of Otsego and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Tucker and son of Indianapolis, a nephew of the Harrisons. Everyone enjoyed dinner under the trees, volleyball, the bonfire with roasting of marshmallows, the hayride, and especially the good company. Judy has started a full time job at school which includes being a crossing guard, a secretary aide, and a lunch room monitor. The first day of school nearly “did her in" but it’s smooth sailing now, right, Judy? Walter and Lois Bender enjoyed the Farm Days at Prairieville Saturday. Mike and Katy Bremer and children spent from Friday to Monday in Indiana where they visited her sister and family, the Jim Staples, at Columbia City, and left the kids a night while they toured Browns County, Connors Prairie and Old Ft. Wayne, all historical places of interest. They had Monday lunch at the Martin cottage at Bassett Lake, and on returning home learned Katy’s mom was seriously ill in Muskegon Hospital. So it was a trip north for overnight and home Tuesday to get son Brett on the bus for his first day of school. Busy, busy! Ward and Jessie Bender were also among the many attending the Wenger-Bryans wedding Saturday night. On Monday Ward, Jessie, Emmett and Doris Campbell enjoyed the festivities at Prairieville. The Fred Steiners spent Sunday at Canadian Lakes with the Tim Estes family. Monday visitors at the Steiner home were our aunt and uncle, Fran cis and Henrietta Coney of Allegan. Dave, Colleen and Zak Bremer of Shepherd spent Sunday night with us, and several of our families had lunch and spent the afternoon at the Bassett Lake cottage of Rev. Bill and Maxine Martin. It was a nice time, and the kids even caught fish! Two of our grandchildren, Brett Bremer and Brad Enders, began their school years at TK this week. The excitement begins and the cycle continues. Granddaughter Christy Bremer started kindergar­ ten too, but in Wilmore, Kentucky. I would have liked to hear about that ‘first day’ too. NIGHT APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE CALL 795-9787 '•Jean Sonner /4700 Middleville Rd. �4 The Sun and New,. Middleville. Miehigan September 8.1983 STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STA TE REPRESENTA TIVE, 54th DISTRICT The fall session will severely test the new Gover­ nor and legislature. It is obvious from committee deliberations this summer that a long list of pressing problems will not be resolved easily, if at all. A Different Fiscal Problem. The excessive income tax hike and s solid economic recovery have com­ bined to give state government a revenue windfall. Estimates of this budget year's surplus range from $25 million to $150 million. Still, a 1984-85 budget deficit has been projected, and a continuing cash shortage will require state borrowing of $500 million this fall. The most prudent step would be to place the surplus in the “rainy day’’ fund. However, after witnessing the lack of fiscal discipline in formulating next year's budget, I believe serious consideration also must be given to lowering the income tax rate so the money will not be available to spend. Either alternative may be politically possible in light of taxpayer anger over the income tax increase. Bookkeeping Maneuvers? Under the Headlee Amendment to the Michigan Constitution, 41.6% of the state’s general fund must be allocated for local spending such as revenue sharing and aid to schools. Currently there is a $150 million imbalance in the state/local spending ratio. Rather than correcting the problem by cutting state spending and/or hiking local assistance, the Governor has proposed an ac­ counting shift. This proposal, now pending in the Senate, would re-classify state support of teacher pensions as a local expenditure. Local governments and schools have protested this attempt to circum­ vent the spirit of the Constitution. Negotiations are underway to resolve the issue. It may be that the recent decline in the state’s welfare caseload will reduce the imbalance. In any case, I hope the legislature will resist further bookkeeping gimmickery. Workfare, Emergency Assistance, or Both? In July lawmakers were unable to agree on whether $43 million in the social services budget should be spent on a workfare program for able-bodied claimants or energy assistance for low income families this winter. The money was set aside for further debate this fall. Senate Republicans recently proposed that $39 million be used for job training and employment of welfare claimants. Meanwhile, the Governor’s staff has formed a task force, on which I serve, to develop a bi-partisan proposal. My own view is that presently available federal job-training dollars and state educational aid com­ bined with existing work requirements already provide the basis for a potentially effective policy. I don’t believe we should throw more money at a popular program if it’s not needed. On the other hand, rising heating costs and the unacceptable possibility of energy shut-offs in the cold of winter are an impending problem that cannot be ignored.

This com­ promise would be a productive use of the disputed funds and provide long-term savings. Pre-Paying the Sales Tax on Fuel. A subcommit­ tee, on which I serve, is considering a bill that would require service station retailers and their wholesale suppliers to pre pay the 4% sales tax on fuel they purchase. Why? Because the state is losing millions of sales tax dollars from unethical jobbers and station operators who are not reporting their sales. Such cheaters also are able to under-price operators trying to compete fairly. This explains why the statewide association of service station dealers is backing pre-payment plan which will adversely af­ fect the cash flow of many ethical dealers. While remaining open to supporting this bill, I hope the subcommittee can develop a more targeted enforcement method. If possible, the majority of dealers who are honest should not have to pay for the crimes of the minority. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP. HILLEGONDS. CALL AC 517-373-0836.

Teri Gehl and friend Ray and Teri’s girlfriend Charlotte and boyfriend attended “Manhattan Transfer’’ Sunday night at DeVos Hall. There is no doubt about it. Winter is right around the corner. As a result of the high cost of fuels, many people are turning to wood burning stoves. If you are willing and able to invest some time and energy in cutting and hauling, and if you have local accessibility to free or low-cost wood, then wood heat may be a good investment for you. Fire losses provide grim proof that many people are failing to select, install and use wood burning stoves properly. If you want to heat your home with wood, make your life easier and safer by following recommended procedures for installing a wood stove. Proper installation of wood burning stoves is an absolute safety must. Before installing any wood heating system, check with a building inspector and/or your local fire department to get the latest information on what you must do to meet the building code requirements in your area. Following the manufacturer’s instructions for installation will also help insure that your fueld wood heating system is as safe as possible. The low, smoldering fires built in wood burning stoves to take the chill out of homes during cool, fall nights cause at least one potentially dangerous con­ “God's Prison Gang,’’ a newly released film dition: creosote build-up.

MicHgaa I Scots Scrimmage With Hopkins The Fighting Scots football team opened the 1983 season with a four-way scrimmage at Hopkins last Friday. The Scots received a good showing at QB from senior Tim Dobson and Jr. Dan Collins. The running backs looked good on some plays and also showed they need some work on others. “We saw some bright spots and some not so bright" said Coach Shefferly. "The good thing with a scrimmage like this is we know what we must work on to get better and be ready for our first game with Wayland." The Scots were sluggish against Bellview and finished respectably vs. Delton and Hopkins.

Most players on the team have been very active in tennis over the summer. We feel our team is stronger than expected because of the hard work and dedication the girls have shown this summer. Middleville, Hamilton and Hudsonville should again be the top three title contenders. Hudsonville is the defending champion, but has the most graduated seniors to replace. Since Hud­ sonville had the best team depth last year, they should figure into the title race again this year. Hamilton has most of its team back from last year. Hamilton is very strong in singles which makes them a slight favorite this year. Middleville will start two freshmen in singles. We expect to have some of the best depth in the league. If our singles players can overcome their inex­ perience, the Trojans will be rstrong contender. The Trojan team will be led by tri-captains Darcy Wingeier, Sandi Wierenga and Karen Sias. All three were singles players on last year’s runner-up team. Deb Ploeg will play No. 1 singles. Deb is a talen­ ted freshman. We expect Deb to have a fine season playing the best players from opposing schools. Darcy Wingeier will play No. 2 singles. Darcy is a two time all conference player and is looking for­ ward to her best season. Jennifer Geukes will play No. 3 singles. Jennifer is another fine freshman and should do well this year. Kristy Miner will start at No. 4 singles. This will be the first year Kristy has competed in singles. Sandi Wierenga and Sara Schondelmayer will play at No. 1 doubles. We expect these two to be one of the best teams in the conference. Karyn Elies and Karen Sias will play No. 2 doubles. This should be a very strong point for us. Both players have improved a great deal since last year. Kathy Miner and Melissa VerStrate will start at No. 3 doubles. Kathy is an experienced player and should be very strong at this position. Melissa has shown steady improvement and should continue to improve as the season goes on. Missy Rounds and Lisa Wolverton should see some varsity play this season. Both are freshmen working for a third doubles spot. Other team members include Kathy Fox, Jeanine Stander, Ginger Cook, Shannon Herweyer, Ingrid Konow and Ranee Cramer. This team is very close in terms of their talent, which may cause us to make more line-up changes in the futures. Fourth singles, second doubles and third doubles in particular may go through changes before we find the right combination. We have a key match against Hamilton this Friday at home. The results of that match will give us a good idea of how strong we really are this year. MARK LADOUSIER (left) and SHARON POWERS will be the captains of the boys and girls Caledonia Cross Teams for 1983 Caledonia Runners Ready for Season With Tough Workouts The 17 members of the Caledonia Fighting Scot Cross Country team have just completed 3 weeks of workouts in preparation for the 1983 season. During the week of August 22, eleven members of the Scots’ boys cross country team traveled north to the Ed Passenger cottage on Torch Lake for 4 days of tough trail running at Camp Run-a-Lot. The boys 1983 team is composed of four seniors • Rob Durkee, Mark Ladousier, Eric Mulder and Jnhn Ring: three juniors - Bill Schumacher, Lou Vander Stel and Terry Wilhite: four sophomores Tom Bont, Dennis Caskey, Bryan Harrison and Jeff Van Meter: and one freshman - Mark Pierce. For the first time Caledonia will have a girls' cross country team during the 1983 season. Team mem­ bers will be Senior - captain Charon Powers; sophomores - Pam Pollie, Janette Radamacher and Abbie Smith; and freshmen. Again this year, the Scots first three dual meets will be at Caledonia Lakeside Park while all of the OK Blue teams will run together at Douglas Walker Park. All dual meets will be run at 4:00. The Scots first 3 dual meets are at Caledonia: September 6 - East Grand Rapids - Lakewood Sept. 8 - Ionia - Lowell Sept. 19 - Delton - Forest Hills Northern JR.

EVEMNG - 7:00 p.m. M-37 at 100th Street in Catatonia, Michigan •Free Pickup, Estimates. Defiveiy Senator Dick Posthumus announced his support of the proposal by Republicans in the Michigan Legislature, which is intended to be a comprehen­ sive response to the challenges described inthe U. S. Department of Education s “Nation at Risk study, as well as our own awareness of the shortcomings in public education in Michigan today. As Republican Vice-Chairman of the Senate Finance and Municipalities Committee, he specifically endorsed the call for mandatory com­ petency tests for all new teachers and graduating high school students, and a new funding formula to add some $420 million to the K-12 education system. "The financing mechanism for this program will most likely be sent to the Senate Committee on Finance and Municipalities,” said Senatoi Posthumus. “I support the first 1.5 percent ol revenut from the personal income tax be dedicated to public K-12 education. This will be a positivt statement on our commitment to reset the spending priorities the Legislature currently adheres to.” “Extending the tax incentives for contribution? to K-12 school systems with the 1.5 percent fron the existing income tax should make available the $420 more to K-12 education without raising any new taxes. The Republican program is a positive and progressive proposal which should insure that not a single high school graduate in this state will be illiterate,” Posthumus said. "Currently, Michigan has the most lax standard? for graduation of any state in the nation — a civic? class is our only requirement. Michigan is one ol only four states without periodic teacher preparation program approval; and we are one ol only 12 states that have taken no action in the aree of teacher competency,” he continued. “This Republican program is designed to movt Michigan into the educational mainstream and, ii enacted, Michigan will achieve a new standard ol excellence in education, ” Posthumus concluded.

The money came from the recent Charities Tournament organized by the Greater Grand Rapids Bowling Council. The $500 was used by Pennock Hospital to purchase a ‘gravity guiding system' which King is demonstrating in the picture. The system is designed to help people with back problems. {Reminder Photo) Dr. David Borland, a state appointed fact-finder, met Monday with negotiators from the TK teachers and the board of education to establish the procedure he will follow in the fact-finding to resolve the teacher contract dispute. On October 17, Dr. Borland will hear testimony from both sides in the issue and will take the matter under his consideration. He has been asked by the participants in the matter to give a written opinion on his findings. The Board and teachers had agreed to the factfinding method in an effort to resolve their differen­ ces in the contract. The teachers reported for work on the opening of school after threatening to strike if a contract was not signed. Neither side in the issue is bound to accept the findings of Dr. Borland or to follow his recommen­ dation. Last Day to Pay Taxes Without Interestcharges The summer school taxes are due today (Sep­ tember 15), and beginning tomorrow a one per cent per month interest charge will be added to those tax bills not paid. Thomapple Township treasurer Andy McKeown, who is collecting the school taxes for TK School, Caledonia school and the Kent Intermediate School District, reported to the Township Board on Monday night that $317,000 had been collected so far. He expects to collect “over $500,000“ by today. On those tax bills which go delinquent after today, the township treasurers are required by law to impose the 1% per month interest. On October 1, the charge will be 2%, on November 1 the interest goes to 3% and so on until the taxes become delinquent with the county in March of 1984. Senior citizens, disabled people and farmers who qualify may have their summer taxes deferred until the fall collection period if they file the necessary form with the treasurer.

Run Through Caledonia, Middleville This Friday, September 16, members of Caledonia, Middleville and Hastings Lions Clubs are joining with the Deputy Sheriff s Association of Michigan, whose members will be running some 860 miles through Michigan's most beautiful scenery to help give mobility to those unable to see. Proceeds from this Second Annual Charity Run by DS AM and Lions is entitled “Journey for Sight” nd will help support the Leader Dogs for the Blind school in Rochester, Michigan. Runners are expec­ ted to pass through Caledonia at 8:30 p.m., Mid­ dleville at 9:10 p.m. and be in Hastings at 11 p.m. In Caledonia. Lions Club president Nelson Ruehs indicated that a refreshment stand will be at the American Legion Hall for the runners. “We are also looking for volunteers to run as far as they like, said Ruehs. He may be contacted at 891-1387. Anyone in the Middleville area who would like to join the runners and solicit pledges for leader dog school can contact Lion Jim French at 795-9783 or Lion Chuck Baughman at 795-7373 for more infor­ mation. Also, Middleville Lions will be at the traffic light to welcome the runners and accept local con­ tributions. Come out to M-37 and help us welcome the runners! The run began September 12 in Copper Harbor at the northern tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, heads south, then east along Lake Michigan, crosses the Mackinaw Bridge, then south through Western Michigan and east through Lansing. Once the White Cane Baton starts moving it will be passed from hand to hand every five miles around the clock until the run is finished. The event will conclude with a celebration at the Leader Dog School in Rochester September 17. Leader dogs make travel for the blind possible without benefit of a sighted person. Approximate cost per dog is over $6,500, and the program trains more dogs and people than any other guide dog school in the world. It has 56 employees for training and maintaining the dormitories and kennels. Leader Dogs for the Blind gives over 300 persons without sight a whole new lease on life each year. Fund raising will be by Lions Clubs along the route. Local law enforcement and other persons will be in­ vited to run alongside the deputies in an effort to help raise money. The Deputy Sheriffs Association of Michigan is comprised of 1500 deputies in 25 departments throughout the state. Their running team will be composed of 15 deputies who are DS AM members. DSAM is responsible for traffic safety programs in the elementary and high schools and sponsors clinics against shoplifting, a motorcycle skills program, bicycle rodeos and crime prevention programs to benefit Michigan communities �2 The Son aad News, Middleville, Miehigan/September 15, 1983 Thornapple Heritage to Meet in G.R. The Thornapple Heritage Association will meet on Wednesday, September 21, at the home of George and Helen Evans in Grand Rapids at 8:00 p.m. Birthday Party for Sarah Johnson What is there about movie stars that creates such an insatiable appetite in the people of the United States? No detail is too small to escape the notice of adoring fans. With the writing of Mommie Dearest, Christina Crawford inspired many other actors and actresses to author books about their own lives. Many already had biographies or autobiographies written. Never before have there been so many books on movie stars. Several are included in the collection in the library. If you have a favorite actor or actress, check the library shelves. Perhaps there is a book on this individual. Among the most recent biographies published is Gary Crosby’s Going My Own Way. This book is written in much the same style as Mommie Dearest, revealing the pressures of growing up with such a famous father. The book will surprise many Bing Crosby fans who remember a quiet, gentle man. Lauren Bacall has written By Myself. She in­ cludes her early history as well as details of her great romance with Humphrey Bogart. Many photographs are included. In Bring In the Empty Horses, David Niven relates stories of his life and those of his friends. Names and pictures of Gable, Garbo, Chaplin, Flynn and Astaire occur repeatedly throughout this narrative. Confessions of an Actor by Laurence Olivier reveals many unknown facts about his life, in­ cluding his tempestuous relationship with Vivien Leigh. Many pictures of his character portrayals are found in this book. More Havoc by June Havoc, continues the story of her life. In her first book, Early Havoc, she wrote of her childhood show-biz career and depression years. Her second book tells of her first Broadway success, Hollywood movies during WWII and her marriage. The Lady, The Legend, the Truth, Lana by Lana Turner finally separates gossip from fact. Here she tells of her life, everything from early sweater girl times to battling alcoholism. Perhaps a biography of your favorite movie star has not yet been written. Information and pictures are probably available in the big movie anthology books. Movie Stars, Real People and Me by Joshua Logan is a good book to begin with. The famous director discusses such stars as Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando. He explains his relationships with and opinions of them. Cast of Thousands by Anita Loos and Hollywood Album 2 by The New York Times provide many fac­ ts and photographs. I’m sure you have some favorite movies that are remembered in these books. How many of you spent your childhood Saturdays in a movie theater engrossed in the movie? For those of you who have not already realized it, let me remind you of the library hours. With the beginning of school last week, we resumed winter hours. They are: Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. 4:00 p.m. In addition, the library is open Tuesday evenings 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. We’ve added an extra hour Tuesday evening in the hopes that it will accom­ modate those who have conflicts other times. Caledonia Parade of Bands Saturday The annual Caledonia Parade of Bands will take place this Saturday in Caledonia, beginning with a parade down Main Street at 2:30 p.m. The parade will lead to the CHS football field where each band will give a brief exhibition.

Visit With Pen Pal Spring Park was the meeting place for three of Mrs. Foy’s previous second grade classes from West Elementary. The children gathered there late this summer to meet their pen pal, Yoko Kobamatsu, from Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan. Yoko and her friend, Keiko Ogawa, visited Michigan for five weeks. ..luch of their time was spent with the Foys in the Grand Rapids area. The girls were on a break from their pre-med studies at Hirosaki University in Japan. Yoko, who is now 20, started corresponding with Mrs. Foy’s class in the 1979-80 school year. At that time, Mrs. Donna Grosbeck, a classroom aide helping Mrs. Foy, was writing to Yoko. Mrs. Foy thought it would be interesting to have the children ask questions of Yoko to learn more about another country and culture. Except for the school year 1981-82 when the day was cut to five hours, Mrs. Foy’s classes have con­ tinued to write to Yoko. The present class will be writing their first letter shortly and more frien­ dships will be developed across the seas.

Multi-media Film Production Will Be Presented at Leighton On Tuesday evening, September 20. the Leighton United Methodist Youth Fellowship in conjunction with Camfel Productions of Monrovia, California, will be presenting a multi-media film production en­ titled “Stampede”. The evening program will be held at the Leighton Church gym at 8:00 p.m. There will be a $ 1.00 donation. Multi-media is a multi-screen combination of film, slides and music. Using 8 to 10 computerized slide and film projectors, Camfel’s production fills three large screens with hundreds of images, matching them to a soundtrack of contemporary music, narration, and special effects. The theme of “Stampede” deals with man’s long history of struggling with patience, and the problems that are created as the result of our basic selfish desires which cause us to rush into things without careful planning and thinking. The problem is geared to junior high, senior high and college age youth, but the public of all ages is invited. Leighton Church is located on the comer of 142nd Ave. and 2nd Street.

In the East Grand Rapids-Caledonia meet, the Scots defeated the Pioneers 24-36. Caledonia’s Mark Ladousier narrowly won second place by 1 second and then the Scots’ depth led by Lou VanderStel and Bill Schumacher captured 4th through 8th place to insure the Scot victory. In the Lakewood-Caledonia meet, the Scots team depth proved to be the winning difference as the ' Scots edged a very good Lakewood Viking team 2730. After Lakewood’s Strong and Wunger won 1st and 2nd place, the Scots won 6 of the next 7 places to register the victory.

Wilhite Nineteen young men started golf practice at the Yankee Springs Golf Course on Monday, August 22. Six returning letter winners will form the nucleus for an improved and successful season. With last year's young team, the Trojan linksters managed a 7-13 record, 6-8 in the league, a last place finish in the league tournament and an overall seventh place finish in the league. The team faded towards the end of the year, but gained some valuable experience that will be needed if the Trojans are going to contend in the OK Blue Con­ ference race. Returning letter winners include seniors: Rick Sherman and Ron Finkbeiner, juniors: Rolfe Tim­ merman, Bob Bekkering, Todd Courts and Tim VanPolen. Other returning players are senior Dale Thoms: juniors Jim Will and Greg Henry: and sophomores Marty Kermeen and Rob Woodard. Eight new faces grace the ’83 Trojan squad. They are sophomores: Greg Schondelmayer, John Todd and Rich VanMalsen; and freshmen Curt Henry, Mike Henning, Ron Williamson, Scott Smith and Mike Hubbert. Much of the success of this year’s team will rest on the shoulders of Rolfe Timmerman. As a two year letter winner, Rolfe is the Trojans’ number one player as well as the most experienced. Last year, playing as Middleville’s No. 1 golfer, Rolfe had a season average of 40.5, match average of 40.9 and a league match average of 40. He placed second in the league next to Caledonia’s Mike Poll. His fine showing in the league gained him All Conference honors. He also finished eleventh best out of eightyfive golfers in the regionals. Rolfe’s best round last year was a one-under-part 34 at the Pines. We coun­ ted Rolfe’s score in all nineteen matches that he played, and he was the medalist in eleven matches. During the first two weeks of practice, Rolfe has been shooting near par golf. In two pre-season tour­ naments he has shot an 82 at the Grand Rapids Golf Club and an 80 at the Green ridge Country Club. His 80 placed tenth out of 125 golfers in Kent County. Needless to say, one golfer does not make a team. If Middleville is to succeed, they must get con­ sistent play from five other players. “If we can shoot 165 as a team, we will win most of our mat­ ches,’’ stated coach Bernie Weller. “As of right now, we aren’t doing that. Several players have the ability to shoot in the low 40’s. We will rely heavily on Bob Bekkering.” Last year Bob played number two all year. We counted his score in seventeen of our twenty matches. Last year he averaged 48.2. This year he has had rounds in the low to mid 40 s. His 95 at the tough Green Ridge Country Club in­ dicates that Bob is progressing. We need him. Junior Jim Will, a non-letter winner last year, has played good golf during the just two weeks of prac­ tice. Jim has qualified to play in the number two position in the two pre-season tournaments. Last year Jim averaged 53. This year he has had rounds in the low to mid 40 s. He had a 94 and a 96 in those two tournaments. Jim has worked hard on his game during the summer and definite improvement has taken place. Junior Todd Courts returns with seventeen mat­ ches under his belt at the varsity level. We counted his score thirteen times. Todd is a tenacious com­ petitor who gives his best effort every time. Todd averages 48.6 shots for every nine holes last year. He has been consistently in the mid 40 s this year. He had a 96 and a 99 in our two tournaments. Tim VanPolen and Greg Henry are two other juniors presently vieing for varsity spots. Tim is playing well of late, while Greg is showing steady progress. Three seniors are the key to the Trojan plans for '83. Rick Sherman is a retiring letter winner. He averaged 49.3 last year and is shooting in the mid 40’s in practice. He shot 90 and 97 in the other two tournaments. Ron Finkbeiner is another returning senior letter winner. He averaged 48.6 last year af­ ter a slow start. Ron has struggled so in practice, but he will get better as the season progresses. Dale Thoms is another hopeful senior. Dale shows promise and improvement. He will help us this year. Sophomores Marty Kermeen and Greg Schon­ delmayer are also competing as varsity golfers. Both golfers are shooting in the high 40 s. All of the JV candidates have progressed steadily. As the season goes on they will get better. So far freshmen Curt Henry and Ken Williamson and sophomore Rich VanMalsen have shot the best scores. Other junior varsity candidates are sophomores Rob Woodard, John Todd and Fresh( men Mike Henning, Mike Hubbert and Scott Smith. The season opened on September 6. Home mat­ ches are held at Yankee Springs Golf Club and the public is invited. TK Tennis Off to Fast Start The TK Girls Tennis team got off to a great start last week by defeating Lakewood 6-1. The win over Lakewood was followed by a 6-1 victory over Hamilton. Hamilton was expected to be a title con­ tender with Hudsonville and Middleville, but the Middleville team easily handled the Hawkeyes, winning six of seven matches in straight sets. Jennifer Geukes was selected as player of the match against Lakewood. Deb Ploeg was the Player of the Match against Hamilton. This week we play three of our four matches away. Caledonia will be here Wednesday to play one of the tougher matches of the week. Hudsonville just won a Grand Rapids tournament and seems to be the team to beat. Hudsonville will be here next Wednesday for what we hope will be a showdown for first place. Between now and next Wednesday we need to improve our angle shots and footwork. Most of all, we can’t afford to get caught looking ahead. Three league matches this week should help to keep our minds of Hudsonville until next week. Last week’s results: Middleville 6 - Lake wood 1 1st singles, Deb Ploeg won 6-2, 6-2 2nd Singles - D. Wingeier lost 3-6,1-6 3rd Singles - J.

CASE Mode! 448 Godwin’s Nelson Rips Trojans LAWN TRACTORS Nels DeVries Equipment Co. 6501 S. Division, Grond Rapids * Ph. 455-1900 Ray’s Page BY TK HEAD COACH RAY PAGE Our game with Godwin was not the way we would have liked to open the season. We made too many mistakes to win. It’s one thing when you lose to a superior team, but another when you beat yourself. There are not many times when you can beat a good team and have the number of turnovers (5), penalties (7) and mental errors that we had on Friday night. It seems that every time we had a drive going, one of the above things happened to prevent us from scoring. One thing that needs some work this week is our pass blocking. In our scrimmage with South Christian. Tim never got sacked, but Godwin put a lot of pressure on us and we failed to respond by picking up their crashing linebackers and ends. When we had time we felt our passing attack looked good. Our defense was the brightest spot in the game. Nelson is probably one of the best backs we will face all year and outside of the one long run, we felt we contained him real well. When you carry the ball 30 times, you are bound to gain some yardage. This week it’s Lee with our league opener. Lee is down this year, but you have to avoid a letdown with a team like this. Maybe with some work we can get the offense going. We had a great crowd at the game! Stay with us, we’re going to play some better ball as the season progresses. �Hv 8— aod Nnrt, MIddWvilU, Middgaa/Septembar 15,1983 East side, West side, all around the town of Middleville . . . .

WEST SIDE by Norma Valderman In talking with someone this week, they said “I hear you’re going to be a super-snoop.’’ I disagreed with them because my definition of friendliness is not to snoop. Sure, it’s a form of nosiness, but I call it caring about other people, how they are physically, their happiness, their unhappiness - it’s all a part of needing each other. You can give people a verbal hug as wall as a physical hug. I was delighted when alice Wieringa called and said she and Bernard were back from a 16 day trip to Scandinavia.

Page 2 �I TlMtawlNm.MM4tovUte.MMU8qM_lMr22.lS83 At Your Public Library By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistin't Hunting and trapping are age old practices. What was once done out of necessity is now done for sport. I’m not here to settle the controversy of sport ver­ sus humaneness of killing animals- The fact remains that millions of Americans enjoy the challenge of hunting and trapping. With fall comes the begin­ ning of hunting season. There are varying degrees of expertise in hunters. How do you become an effec­ tive hunter? Practice, knowledge and the will to arise at 5:00 a.m. and tramp around in the woods in solitude in sub zero weather for twelve hours at a time. Fun (I’ll never understand it). Perhaps you can save yourself some time and grief by reading up on the subject. There are many good books available in the public library Your tactics will differ depending on the game you are hunting. What I’m trying to tell you is not to expect to stalk a grizzly if you’ve only packed your B-B gun. Different game require different strategy and equipment. Confused? The Complete Guide to Hunting by Arthur L. Cone Jr. should set you straight. The book explains how, where and when to hunt on the entire continent of North America. Safety, necessary equipment and weather factors are also discussed. The Guide to Good Cheap Hunting by Bob Gilsvik emphasizes how to be an effective hunter without incurring a large expense. Many ideas, drawings and photos are contained in this manual that will enable you to utilize items that are inex­ pensive. Not everyone is content to hunt squirrels and rab­ bits. Some travel many miles every season to stalk the big animals, wild sheep, deer, grizzly, caribou, elk, moose and antelope. These hunters would ap­ preciate Jack O’Connbr’s book. The Art of Hunting Big Game in North America. Mixed in with the facts are anecdotes of the author s own experiences. In the last ten years, bow hunting has enjoyed a revival. The Complete Book of Bow and Arrow by G. Howard Gillilan will be valuable to novice bow hunters. Everything from tuning a bow, stances and gauging distances are discussed with beginners in mind. Trapping animals today is very different from what it used to be. More sophisticated, humane traps are now used. Different bait has been found to be more effective. In addition, more extensive laws are now in effect regarding the manufacture, size and methods of usage of traps. A new book entitled Animal Traps and Trapping by James Bateman clarifies these new updates. Many hunters have not been satisfied to capture a big prize. Many want reminders of the big hunt. Taxidermists have been in existence for generations. However, several hunters have opted to mount their trophies themselves. Taxidermy has become a popular home hobby. The public library recently purchased two new books on home taxidermy, Home Book of Taxidermy and Tanning by Gerald Grantz and The Complete Handbook of Taxidermy by Nadine Roberts. Both offer complete instructions to mounting and displaying big and small game.

AT Chamber Minutes The September 15 meeting of the Middleville Chamber of Commerce was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by president Rony Scofield. The secretary’s report was read and it was reported that we have $37.20 in the treasury.

This position was left vacant when Max Mulford changed jobs. Eldon Newmyer volunteered to be responsible for putting articles in the Sun and News for the Cham­ ber. The president read suggestions given to her by Mike Cravero about the Industrial Park, a com­ munity survey and auxiliary police. Motion was made, seconded and passed that we use the community survey with a few minor changes. 1000 of these are to be mini-printed and ready for distribution by the October meeting to some of the businesses who will have them available for the community. Motion was made that the Chamber fill out the Industrial Park questionaire. Handicap parking, and a Mail Drop Box for the downtown area were discussed.

Lillian Schultz has a new great-granddaughter born to Rose’s daughter Mr. and Mrs. Mark Postma (Caledonia News Cont. on Page 5) The Message of the Water Beetle Cecil B. DeMille, the famous motion picture producer, was a man of great talents and keen insights. He liked to get off by himself at times to think out a problem. One such time he went out in a canoe to quietly drift along while he thought about his problem. The canoe drifted inshore to a place where the water was only a few inches deep. Looking down he saw that the bot­ tom was crowded with water beetles. As he watched, one of the beetles came to the surface and slowly crawled up on the side of the canoe. Finally reaching the top, it grasped fast to the wood and died. DeMille's thoughts went back to his problem. About three hours later, he happened to notice the beetle again and saw that, in the hot sun, its shell had become dry and brittle. As he watched, it slowly split open and there emerged from it a new form, a dragonfly, which took to the air out of the cold husk, its scintillating colors flashing in the sunlight. That winged creature flew farther in an instant than the water beetle had crawled in a day. Then it circled back and swooped down on the water. The water beetles below might have seen it, too, but now their erstwhile companion was in a world beyond their comprehension. They were still living in their limited beetle world while their winged cousin gained for himself all the freedom between earth and sky. Later, when DeMille told of this experience, he concluded with a very penetrating question, "Would the great Creator of the universe," he asked, "do that for a water beetle, and not for a human being?"

Last spring Governor Blanchard pledged that his short-term summer youth employment program would be followed by a longer-range plan to stimulate private job growth in Michigan. This summer ad­ ministration officials and majority lawmakers worked quietly on economic development proposals. Shether or not the finished product will include many of the 38 measures presented by House Republicans remains to be seen. The early signals are not encouraging, however. I was told by a Blan­ chard staff person that this fall the Governor will not push for needed, additional reformes in one of the most expensive programs for Michigan em­ ployers — workers' compensation. Indeed, the Governor recently infuriated job providers by ap­ pointing as chairperson of the Workers' Compen­ sation Appeal Board a former union-hired attorney who fought the 1980 and 1981 workers' comp reforms. Another bad sign is the administration bill creating a Strategic Investment Fund. In order to qualify* for low-interest loans under this proposal, developing or expanding businesses would have to pay inflated “prevailing wages" for the construc­ tion of expansion projects. The prevailing wage requirement will discourage participation in an otherwise sound incentive program. It also signifies that Governor Blanchard is letting politics get in the way of economic development. Still there is hope that the bi-partisan pro­ business. pro-job coalition which exists in the legislature may be able to modify and improve the forthcoming Blanchard program. “Front-Loading.” A House Taxation Subcommit­ tee on which I serve is reviving “front-loading" — a plan to pay in advance nearly $600 million of state property tax credits to homeowners. The main arguments for the scheme are: 1) Early payments will provide this tax break at the time property tax bills are due, not when income tax refunds are received; and 2( “Front-loading” will make state property tax relief more visible to taxpayers, and taxpayers more appreciative of the state. On the other hand, this proposal will: 1) Cost the state and local governments an estimated $2 to $5 million for its administration; 2) Compound We’ll help you through the financial jungle Because it's your money, you want to be sure and make the right choice. That's how we can help — we can offer you a personal financial advisor who can help you through the savings maze. Managing your personal finances wisely has become more complicated than ever.

STATE BANK of CALEDONIA FDIC WITH OFFICES IN CALEDONIA AND DUTTON, MICHIGAN seriously the state's $500 million cash flow problem — thereby requiring additional borrowing; and 3) Help a relatively a small percentage of cash-short homeowners because disabled and senior citizens and farmers already are allowed to defer property tax payments until they receive their state credits. Many others pay their property taxes through escrow accounts and do not need this assistance. I have concluded that “front-loading" as currently proposed is not worh the cost, though a majority in the legislature may decide otherwise. Meanwhile, the subcommittee could better spend its time reviewing a more controversial — and more meaningful — property tax reform. It would require that local property tax revenues reaped from hughe utility plants be shared by school districts around the state rather than used solely by the wealthy districts in which those plants are located. Health Care Cost Containment. The cost of health care in Michigan doubled between 1971 and 1976 and doubled again from 1976 to 1982. Health care expenses are a deterrent to job growth in our stata. Employer-paid health benefits are two to three times the cost of annual workers' compensation premiums. Taxyapers are affected, too. Medicaid — health care for the poor — is the single largest, fastest growing program in the state budget. Currently a special House Committee is reviewing a list of health care cost containment measures which range from more regulation to more com­ petition for hospitals and other providers. It is dif­ ficult to predict the results of this study, though I hope the committee will favorably consider proposals to increase provider competition and ac­ countability. More on this in the future. Uniform Sentences and Surrogate Parents. Sure to spark controversy this fall is a bill to regulate surrogate parenting — where a woman enters a con­ tract to carry to term the child of the male partner of a couple unable to have children. This proposal, already approved by the House Judiciary Commit­ tee, breaks new statutory ground and raises com­ plex moral and legal questions. There may be an ef­ fort on the House floor to ban surrogate parenting altogether. A less controversial Judiciary proposal now under study would establish a process to develop uniform minimum sentences for felonies and misdemeanors in Michigan. Mitigating circumstances still could be considered, but the goal of this legislation would be to reduce instances where courts have issued sen­ tences that are too lenient or too severe relative to informal standards elsewhere in the state. PCB in Silos: Who Should Pay? Some 339 farm silos markets by a company no longer in existence have been identified by the Department of Agriculture as being PCB contaminated. Emergen­ cy rules prohibit the use of the silos as of this mon­ th. Further rules requiring dismantling and disposal of the structures are anticipated. A question of great importance to affected far­ mers in our region remains: Who should pay for the loss of the silos? Legislation likely to receive lawmakers’ attention and debate this fall would establish a loan program for the injured parties. Environmental Insurance. As the estimated cost of cleaning up contaminated landfills mounts, a special House committee is considering mandatory “environmental impairment liability insurance." This plan would require companies to register all underground storage of petroleum products and other hazardous substances. Such businesses then would have to carry insurance on the registered chemicals. While this is a promising concept, specific concer­ ns remain unanswered. For example, oil producers already are required to post bonds on their operations and now may be asked to pay additional premiums. Is this an insurance proposal which fairly measures environmental risks and costs, or is it simply a new business tax that will further damage Michigan’s job climate? Hopefully, the legislature will weigh carefully such questions. THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP HILLEGONDS.

This program will undoubtedly generate some interesing discussions this fall. Certainly the specific numbers and figures in the proposals will be open to reasonable concessions and compromises, but I believe it is healthy to take a far reaching look at our current education system, and see if we can make some positive changes and improvements. I would certainly welcome any thoughts you might have on the subject. One of the most interesting proposals that the Legislature will be dealing with as we reconvene for the fall session, is the recently announced Republican Education program. The proposals are part of a comprehensive education program that sets tougher curriculum and certification standards for students and teachers and dedicates the revenue from the first 1.5 percent of the income tax rate to the K-12 system to provide adequate funding for a system of excellence. The program is a response to the challenges outlined in the “Nation at Risk’’ report and is the result of months of study and research which in­ clude contact with numerous other states, the Michigan Department of Education, and teachers, superintendents and private education consultants. Children have the right to a decent education and they have the right to be taught by a teacher com­ petent in the subject area. Our program addresses every area that affects students and teachers — from ensuring that a teacher is properly prepared to teach to ensuring that a high school graduate has met minimum educational standards. It would also provide, for the first time in years, adequate funding for our K-12 system. By dedicating part of the income tax we not only pump an extra $420 million into the schools, but we clearly state that education is our number one priority. Over the past decade, educational funding has declined seriously. We can reverse that trend by reordering the budget, but money is only part of the solution. We believe that this three-pronged program can produce the educational quality that parents are demanding, that children in our state deserve and that most teachers want to deliver. In addition to competency tests, the program ad­ dresses certification standards for teachers, effec­ tive classroom time and teacher preparaion programs. It would ensure that children with weak skills are identified long before they reach the 12th grade and that the people who are teaching them every step of the way are the most capable, best educated teachers we can produce. Michigan's present graduation requirements — a single class in civics — are the most lax in the nation. The state is one of only four states without periodic teacher preparation program approval and one of only 12 states that have taken no action in the area of teacher competency. The program, which is a response to the “Nation at Risk’’ report commissioned by the U. S. Depar­ tment of Education, calls for: — competency testing as a condition for graduation by the 1986-87 school year — extending the school year from 900 hours to Have you discovered the Spice of Life?

Fighting Scots9Defense Shuts Down Hudsonville The Fighting Scot football team earned a hard fought victory over defending league champion Hudsonville Friday night 7-6. It was Doug Northouse’s extra point and a fired up Scot defense that kept the Eagles from scoring. The Scots opened up the game with a 73 yard touchdown pass from Ryan Flynn to Kent Poll to score. The PAT was good as the Scots drew blood early. Late in the second quar­ ter, the Eagles blocked a John Weaver punt and recovered the ball on the Scots own 3 yard line. The defense stiffened and shut the Eagles down on four plays and took the ball over on the 7. To start the 3rd quarter, the Eagles scored on a 55 yard T.D. run by Vander Wall. But the 2 point conversion failed. The defensive struggle continued but the Scots tur­ ned back the Eagles four times from within their own 20 and the last time with 1:20 seconds left in the game, Hudsonville took over on a Scot fumble and had 4 downs and 2 time outs left to score.

It was a total team effort on both offense as well as defense. The Scots ended the night with a total game yardage of 163 and 3 first downs, vs. Hudsonville’s 190 yards and 7 first downs. Last week the Fighting Scots suffered an opening loss to a much larger Wayland team 32-12. They were lead by senior Scott DeVries with a 45 yard TD pass from Sr. quarterback Tim Dobson in the second quarter. Offensively, junior Ryan Flynn led all rushers with a 4.0 yard per carry average and an 11.0 yard average in receiving. Defensively junior Rich McCarty, senior Tim Dobson and junior Kent Poll were all standouts. The offensive Scot of the week is Ryan Flynn and the defensive player is Kent Poll. This Friday the Fighting Scots travel to Byron Center to take on the Bulldogs on their home field. ★ Ph. 455-1900 Neh' DeVries points, so Darcy will need to be at her best to win the second singles for us. Jennifer Geukes and Kristy Miner are both playing well at this point. Neither player has lost a set. Jennifer has improved her quickness which should make her a favorite at third singles. Kristy is a strong number four player and should hold her own against Hudsonville Our singles players all have room for im­ provement. At this point, we hope to improve in the area of consistency. Our doubles teams have proven to be the team strength. At first doubles Sara Schondelmayer and Sandi Wierenga have done very well thus tar. Hud­ sonville should make them work hard for a win. Sandi is very consistent from the back court and Sara is our most aggressive net player. At second doubles, Karyn Elies and Kathy Miner are playing together for the second year in a row. These two played great tennis against Caledonia. Both players have improved their serves and angle shots. This is another strong point for Hudsonville, so we will need to be at our best for a win here. The third doubles team of Karen Sias and Melissa Ver Strate have gone unchallenged thus far. Karen played fourth singles last year and gives us a great deal of experience at this point. Melissa plays very well from the backcourt. We still need more work on our net play and quickness. Hudsonville should have all they want from our third doubles team. �meson ana news, Middleville, MicAJSeptember ZZ, MMI Girls Cross Country Wins Invitational Trojans Get Win at Lee Freshman Jodie Posthumus led the Trojans to the Middleville Invitational win.

Middleville made their OK Blue debut for the season with a win over Lee Rebels. After a scoreless first quarter, Lee struck first for 7 points, but TK came back in the second and third frames with 20 unanswered points to win 20-7. On a 24 yard pass play from Lee’s quarterback Restam to Potter, the Rebels drew first blood. The kick was good and the home team led 7-0. Mid­ dleville came back with a sustained march, capped by a five yard TD run by Scott Kaminski. The PAT failed and the Rebels kept a slim lead going into the locker room at halftime. The third period saw- the Trojan quarterback Tim Heffner connecting for a 38 yard pass play to flanker Lester Caldwell and paydirt. This time a two point conversion by Kaminski was good and the Trojans led 14-7. Later in the quarter Caldwell pulled in a Rebel pass and raced 38 yards to score for the Orange and Black. The PAT was not good and the final score was realized. Middleville outgained their opponent in total yar­ dage, 275 to 128. Of that. Middleville had 197 rushing yards and 92 passing yards.

Jon Moretti continued the onslaught with a 12 yard touchdown. Then Steele passed to Scott Pritchard to increase the score by 2 more. Blair then ran 30 yards for his second touchdown of the night but the extra point attempt failed. Pritchard then passed it 40 yards to Steele to score 6 more. To round out the touchdowns for the night, Moretti ran 25 yards for a score and then he passed to Greg Corrigan for the extra 2. We put one in the victory column on Friday night, but not without a struggle. We certainly did not look good for the biggest part of the game. % We made a lot of mistakes on offense that kept ua from getting anything going in the first half. We had six fumbles and an interception that hurt ua whenever we started a drive. We cut down on the penalties this week (only 2) but one of those cost us a touchdown on a nice pass from Pickard to Heffner. Our defense did a nice job this week again.

Badges were worked on and more about scouting was learned by all. In July and August, Troop 65 co-hosted and helped with booths at a couple of picnics. The troop was complimented on their manners and their willingness to donate a summer Saturday. Troop 65 took a week in July and camped at Har­ wood Lake. There is a cabin on some property at the lake that the troop goes and cleans up, then can sleep in or they can use their own tents. So a thanks goes to Bob Wenger for the use of the campsite, it is very much appreciated by the Scouts. Dave Neeson donated a canoe for the week and Don Pickard a rowboat, which arrived with the help of Joe Scott. The Scouts worked on their lashing by cutting wood and making a Chippewa table and a monkey bridge. Boating, swimming, fishing, BB gun, fire building (and starting with a flint and steel outfit) was worked on by all of the scouts and some of the leaders during the week. The monkey bridge was for all to cross, including the families of the scouts who joined them for a potluck supper in the middle of the week. Not too many of the adults attempted the bridge, but we had a few monkeys. All the Scouts and leaders worked on their Totin Chip Award which is obtained by using a scout knife, ax and saw. A scout can lose this award if it is not used properly and safely when handling the knife, saw and ax. Leaders at the camp were Pete Hernandez, Scoutmaster, Jim Carol Assistant Scoutmaster, Max Caroll, Dan Ringelka, Ray Leckrone and Bob Frost. September 24th the troop will be spending the day at the Harwood I^ake cabin. Doing work like this is the way the scouts pay the owner back for the use of the property. On Saturday, October 1, Troop 65 will have a paper drive, so be sure to call Pete Hernandez if you wish someone to pick up your papers. If you are not going to be home, call and leave the papers outside tied up and weighed down. Troop 65 will be attending the Scout Jubilee in Grand Rapids Riverside Park. Scouts from different areas will gather to camp out October 7, 8, 9 for a weekend of learning from each other. Well, that is all of the news from Troop 65. However, the Scouts and parents involved want to give a big thanks to Pete Hernandez, scoutmaster, for all of his time in planning activities and fun­ ctions the boys are doing. Also a Thanks to Jim Carroll, assistant Scoutmaster and to their wives. This troop would not be possible without you all. A thank you to all who help and support us. QUALITY UPHOLSTERY I personally would like to apologize to Troop 65 for not keeping up with your news. We had a family sick, then a medical emergency, from August to now with my father. He is better and our lives are retur­ ning to normal. Best wishes for a great year of Scouting. Nancy Sue Frost After resting up from their week of camping Troop 65 went for a day of fun at Deer Park Funland. Transportation was provided by Mr. Standish’s van, which was greatly appreciated. They left around 8 a.m. and returned around 7 p.m., exhausted. This past Tuesday. Troop 65 started their regular meetings at 7 p.m. Tuesday evenings at the West Elementary’ all purpose room. The Troop would like to thank the school for the use of the building and room again this year. This Tuesday evening the meeting will be held at Spring Park at 6 p.m. as a potluck with the troop and their families. We will have a sendoff to one of our faithful Scouts, Derek Kidder, who leaves us as an Eagle Scout to join the Navy. Best Wishes, Derek, as you go on to work for your country. May scout training and experience be a handbook to your service stay. Also the Troop had a campout this past weekend. Camp was set up Friday night north of the Floral shop along the Thomapple River in Middleville. It was going to be a weekend of canoeing, which the scouts did from Charlton Park to Middleville on Saturday. But they were rained, lightning and thundered out. So that canoeing trip will be con­ tinued at a later date. A stew was sent to camp from Helen Hernandez, and pizzas arrived from Phil’s, and a spaghetti stew from Mrs. Sclafini, and three nice home grown watermelon from the garden that Bob Frost and Tim Trubull planted. Camp was broken up and dried out Sunday morning and Scouts headed home. The All Scout Round up will be held Thursday (tonight) September 22 at the West Elementary All Purpose Room. All Scouts or those interested in becoming scouts are invited to attend. Scout Night Tonight All Boy Scout units in the area are looking for new members this week.

Join the fun and adventure of Boy Scouting! Capitol Column by Senator Dick Posthumus The Republican proposal calling for the establishment of a Michigan Opportunities and Skilled Training Act (MOST) was introduced this week in both houses of the Michigan legislature. Specifically, the measure would require all ablebodied, employable recipients of government assistance to participate in education, job training or community work experiences in order to continue receiving their welfare benefits. For those who refuse to participate, welfare benefits would be withheld for three months upon first refusal and for six months for each subsequent refusal. Exemptions would be given children, single parents with very young children, those over 55, the physically or mentally disabled, and those required to be in the home to care for a disabled relative. I co-sponsored the legislation in the Senate along with 17 Republican and five Democrat colleagues. With 23 senators on board, passage is virtually cer­ tain in the Senate. The measure also has received considerable editorial support from the news media, and Governor Blanchard has endorsed it in concept. The intent of this educational program is not to punish, but rather to help Michigan's employable, able-bodied recipients back into the world of work, responsibility and self-esteem. The program does not call for additional state money. Michigan’s 1983-84 Social Services budget totals $4 billion dollars. Only a small portion of that amount would go into educating, training and em­ ploying the economically-disadvantaged under the MOST program. The program would be funded with $39 million from next year’s Social Services budget. The money would come from $43 million set aside in next year’s budget for a workfare and/or home heating assistance program. Considering that every 1,000 welfare cases cost the state roughly $2.5 million, it is clear that an effective training and educatibn program will more than pay for itself by cutting the need for public assistance and making taxpaying citizens out of those currently caught in the debilitating welfare trap. Neither will it establish another state bureaucracy. County Social Services boards would be given primary responsibility for administration of the program because they have more information about the needs and resources of their communities and residents. Also passage of MOST will ensure consistency among the 83 counties, many of which have similar programs already in operation. The MOST program is one portion of an overall Republican plan to restore Michigan’s economic climate, create jobs for the unemployed men and women in our state and provide a well-trained work force for business and industry.

JacquelineCherry Village Clerk RIBC Offers New Monthly Column Recycling in Barry County, the non-profit household recycling organization, would like to in­ troduce our new monthly column. We hope to share with recyclers some ideas where recycling and re-use can be practiced in the home. Readers’ contributions are welcome as are any special requests for specific materials others might be throwing out. Call 795-7897 with your ideas or requests. This month we would like to talk about packaging. Manyproducts are over-packaged which costs more, wastes resourses and creates un­ necessary trash. A conscientious recycler might choose products with as little packaging as possible, and packaging made, of paper and cardboard or glass rather than plastic. Some examples of such shopping might include: -Buying items in larger quantities rather than in­ dividual servings such as large cans of juice instead of 6 ounce cans. - items packaged in bags or boxes rather than bags within boxes. • avoid fruit and vegetables packaged in cellophane and styrofoam (two materials that can­ not be recycled and do not biodegrade) - purchase products packaged in recycled paper­ board boxes identifiable by the universal recycling symbol - three arrows that form a connecting circle. ARRIVING Some of the major companies using recycled paper­ DAILY....... board and this symbol are: A&P, Arm and Hammer, The Champion Spark Plug Company, Kelloggs, Miles Laboratories, Universal Co-op and Wolverine Worldwide. - the ultimate alternative to over-packaging is to join a food co-op where members supply their own containers, thus saving money and reducing waste. Remember to take all of your clean glass, as well as your clean, flattened tin cand (labels removed) •Watch for our Coupon on D & W Tapes and aluminum (foil, etc.) to your local recycling site. Labels do not need to be removed from glass. Glass must be separated by color and tin cans separated from aluminum and placed in appropriate bin or barrel. Recycling sites are located at Caledonia Foods parking lot on M-37, behind the Middle Mart on M-37 in Middleville and in the Hastings Fire Ladies Apparel ■ Caledonia Vidope Centre^ station parking lot on Mill and Michigan.

East of Whrtneyville rhamkr BY BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance CoanMia Beginning today is the first article of a fourteenpart series on Adolescent Health Care. Information in the articles is taken from a pamphlet entitled Health Care for the Adolescent by June V. Schwart, M.D. Physiological Changes in Adolescence One source defines adolescence as “the process or condition of growing up; the growing age. youth period between childhood and maturity extending from 14 to 25 in males and from 12 to 21 in females. Biologically, this definition is rather inaccurate. Glandular changes and visible body changes may begin at age 8 in girls (usually two years later in boys), and full growth and physical maturity are usually complete by ages 17 to 19. Emotional and intellectual maturity may come much before age 21 or may be delayed much beyond that time. Clearly, it is difficult to offer a simple definition of adolescence, for it is a period of rapid growth and radical physiological, emotional and intellectual changes. It is the transitional period between childhood and adulthood - the time of the definitive development of the individual. The growth sport of adolescence is the second most rapid in life • second only to that of the first year. An adolescent at the peak of his growth period may grow four inches in a year. And the body changes are even more radical than in the fast­ growing infant. Breasts develop, voices change, hair grows on the body, body proportions change and genitalia begin to mature. These changes, so variable, can affect the adolescent’s emotions, his behavior, and his future outlook on life. The body image (or self-image) is very important to the adolescent. He is especially concerned with how his size, his appearance, his stage of maturity compare with those of his peers or with an ideal he may set for himself. But this concern with com­ parisons comes at a time when normal growth and development are very variable. Consider an eighth grade class of 13 year olds. Some girls will have begun to maure much earlier and will be menstruating and wearing bras and make-up (if allowed). Other girls will be towering over their male classmates and wondering if they will ever need to wear a bra. The boys (usually one or two years behind the girls in the process of maturing) may vary from short juveniles with piping voices to leggy, awkward fellows with pimply faces and fuzzy mustaches. All of them have an ideal image they would like to achieve - or have no hope of achieving. Appearance is very important to adolescents, and deviations from what they consider desirable can have a profound effect on their per­ sonalities. The rapid changes in the teenager’s appearance and body functions are only part of what happens. More next week - Phychological Changes in Adolescence.

Happy Sixties Club Monday, September 12, 33 senior citizens atten­ ded the Happy Sixty Club dinner at the Board Room with business meeting following. In the elec­ tion of officers, Lillian Schultz remains president for the sixth year, Loretta Clark was voted in as Vice President, Evelyn Huyck as the new secretary. Fianna Lind remains treasurer for the third year and Blanche Snyder remains assistant co-chairman on programs. After the election, our 19th anniversary of the club was celebrated with Lillian telling some history of past years when it was started, and also telling of many members who have passed on. Then she had each one get up and tell something about the club, when they became associated with all the Happy 60 friends and what good they were getting out of coming to such an active group. Our treat for this special day was the beautiful anniversary cake donated by Mr. Charles Roetman, also our cable anchorman Ken Gackler was present to cable each one on the program as they spoke, so you see we all have become TV stars in the Caledonia area. Our thanks to to Mr Roetman, Ken Gackler and Ella Fischer for taking care of the elec­ tion and to all who helped on our committees for the past years. Lets all keep coming and make the club become a larger group so when we celebrate our 20th An­ niversary next year we can have a really great celebration. Lets all look forward to this in the coming year with much planning to be done. Our next potluck dinner will be October 3 at St. Paul Lutheran Church on Kraft Ave. Watch your papers for further details.

Kids and Animals Need Supervision Kids and animals are natural buddies - well, sort of. At least they seem to be drawn to animals and may trust the critters a little more than what is safe. Thus, many children are injured each year in animalrelated mishaps. Here are examples of what can be done to help protect children: Livestock facilities, pens, lots and pastures are no place for little kids. Keep gates and doors closed and secured. Small children should go see the animals only in the company of a responsible adult. Warn them about the risk of reaching through fences or pens to pet or feed farm animals as their hand or arm might be painfully bitten or jammed. Also, they should know that mother animals or herd sires can be dangerous and should be avoided. Teach children to respect animals, to be kind to them and not tease or abuse them. Having a pet they love and must care for is a good beginning, as is to be given a baby farm animal or poultry to raise. Encourage youngsters to enroll in 4-H animal projects. Discuss the wild-life in your area with your children and what creatures to avoid. Warn them not to approcah any animal that acts abnormal or appears to be ill, to stay away from animals that are potentially dangerous or strange to them. Keep animal medictations, barn pesticides and disinfectants in places inaccessible to children. Seek proper instructions for youngsters who wish to learn to ride horses or to own a horse. Match the horse to development and skill of the rider - no fledgling should ride a powerful or tempermental steed. Even though the "old gray mare ain’t what she used to be, ” she might be just right for a begin­ ner. Kent County Cooperative Extension Service is an educational unit of MSU and offers up-to-date in­ formation and educational programs in ag, hor­ ticulture, 4-H. family living, homemaker clubs, nutrition, energy. natural resources and public policy. Call 774-3265 for more information. About 500 people turned out Saturday night for a special benefit dance at the Carlton Grange to raise money for a Freeport girl whose eyesight is threatened by a rare disease. A spokesman for the Freeport Boosters, who organized the dance for 6-year old Amy Thaler, said the group raised "approximately $4,000” through the sale of tickets, an auction and a raffle drawing. The group had set a goal of $2,500 for the night. A Hastings band. Grand Theft, provided the entertainment, and beer and food was donated to the cause. Amy, the daughter of Gary and Sue Thaler, Fighter Road, suffers from iridocyclitis, a rare disease which causes a drastic decrease in the pressure of the girl’s eye fluids. To attend public school, Amy needs a special machine which enlarges book print. That machine costs $2,400.

The scope runs from football fanatics down to those who loathe anything per taining to the sport. Few fall in the middle. It’s hard to ignore football. Friday night’s high school scores are announced. Saturday television is becoming more populated with college games. Sunday features continuous pro football games. According to the New York Times Encyclopedia of Sports, football is the number 1 spectator sport. Perhaps this indicates that many people are using the rough game of football as a natural outlet for the hostile side of human nature. For whatever reasons, foot­ ball is a popular, multi million dollar sport. Much has been written about football. Everything from instruction manuals to personal biographies of the football greats are available. They are not limited to adult readers. Interest and participation in this game begin early. Many elementary and junior level books are in our collection. It is often much easier to convince young readers on the merits of reading if the book’s subject appeals to them. At least half of the young readers (boys mostly) love football. Little Men of the NFL by Bob Rubin features stories about Fran Tarkenton, Floyd Little and Nemiah Wilson. Sports Stars Dony Dorsett by Dick Conrad tells of the incredible rise of Dorsett from Husman winner to Super Bown with the Dallas Cowboys all in one year. Linebacker by George Sullivan explains why this position is so im­ portant to the game. Noted linebackers of today are cited. Franco Harris by Thomas Braun outlines Harris’ incredible career, especially his contribution to winning the 1972-73 season. Not all of the books are intended for young readers. Paper Lion by George Plimpton is a foot­ ball classic. Instead of writing this book as a gran­ dstand observer, Plimpton becomes one of the Detroit Lions. With much humor and insight, Plim­ pton reveals what pro football is all about. For those who are interested in the history of football or just enjoy reminiscing about great games gone by, check out The Official Encyclopedia of Football by Roger Treat. For all statistics up until 1969, this is the book to consult. For more current information, check the Encyclopedia of Football put out by the New York Times. This information is accurate through 1979. A fun book to check out and skim through is The Official Picture History of the NFL by Tex Maule. Everyone has football favorites. Sometimes it is a team, sometimes it is an outstanding individual. Such talents as Thorpe, Baugh and Bell are biographied, as well as all members of the Football Hall of Fame in Pro Football's All Time Greats by George Sullivan. Run to Daylight by W. C. Heinz captures the career of Vince Lombardi both on the field and as a coach. An especially good book if college football has your attention and if you favor the colors of maize and blue is ‘A fielding Yost's Legacy to the Univer­ sity of Michigan by John Bihel. Yost’s contribution to college athletics, especially football, is emphasized. Many other football books are included in our collection. There must be at least one that would interest you! Irving Sunshine Club An afternoon meeting of the Irving Sunshine Club was held at the home of Marie Windes on September 7 with six members present. Members signed a get well card to be sent to Ida Skinner who was a patient at Pennock Hospital. Discussed tying off a quilt for a non-member. Our next meeting will be October 5 at Mary Bor­ ton’s home. Evelyn LaBin Secretary and Treasurer I had a wonderful time at the annual Octogenarian party and dinner hosted by the United Methodist Women at the Middleville United Methodist Church last Tuesday. The picture of the ten men and eighteen women all claiming to be 80 years of age or over, on the front page of the September 22 issue of The Sun and News, was a big help to me, especially with the names listed below. My memory needs help! I hope to get better acquainted with many of them in the future. My wife Teddy and I will be in the Parmelee and Middleville United Methodist Churches for the first time on Sunday, October 16. Our furniture will arrive at 124 Manor Drive on October 19th. We look forward to being your new neighbors. Sincerely yours, (Rev.) Carl Staser counselor’s corner BY BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counselor Information in this article was taken from a pamihlet entitled ‘ Health Care for the Adolescent” by une V. Schwartz, M.D. Psychological Changes in Adolescence The teenager must go from a situation of complete dependence (during childhood) to one of independen­ ce. He must learn to think for himself, to form judgements, and to take more and more respon­ sibility - while accepting, at the same time, con­ tinuing dependence on his parents and the rules they lay down. He must learn an adult sexual role (maleness or womanliness), determine identity with a group, and function as an individual within a group. All this must be done during a period of rapid change, with the limited experiences of childhood, the family environment, and the prejudices of the preceding generation as guides. Small wonder, then, that we see swings of mood in adolescents - childish behavior following what seemed to be mature behavior in the space of a week, or even a day — rebelliousness, shyness, showing off, indecision, determination, ups and downs. Behavior that would be abnormal at any other stage may be normal during this period. And parents, teachers, doctors may have difficulty in differen­ tiating between problems of “normal” adjustment and maladjustment. In times of rapid social changes — changes in mores, liberalization of religions, sexual freedom, political struggles, and so on — identification and adjustment often become even more difficult. For adolescents, problems of adjustment may lead to serious health problems. obituaries DONALD H. CURTIS Donald H.

WEST SIDE by Norma Velderman I hope you folks are having as much fun reading our column as I do in writing it. Each time it seems I learn something new. I was talking with Mrs. John Sweers - only knew her as a name and number on my long list of names to call. She was giving me the news item about the Gaines U.B. Church 125th Anniversary, and I asked if she knew any of the Barnabys, my cousins. It tur­ ns out her sister married my cousin, Jerry Barnaby. Then I told her my grandfather and his family were buried in the cemetery across from the church. She asked my name and I said it used to be Luneke. She knew some of them. Small but very warm and in­ teresting world. Luana Tolan said Lynn had surgery on his knee. Is home now and like a caged lion, but coming along fine physically. He hopes he’ll only be off two weeks. Norma Lewis called and said Gladeon took his cannon to a Civil War demonstration at Fallasburg Park for their fall festival last weekend. I asked her if rainy weather made any difference to the firing of the cannon end how did he fire it. He said they swab the barrel once wet - then 2 dry swabs. He uses the material paint rollers are made of, then you can wash them when you get home. You have to keep the black powder very dry so it doesn’t absorb moisture, and handle it with tender loving care, because it’s very touchy and explosive. Carol Schondelmayer said Sandy didn’t get his bear - they came out to the bait and it was so dark he couldn't see. I didn’t know it was legal to set out bait and she said that it was. The man sets out bait to draw them, then the bow hunter gets up in his stand about 14’ in a tree. I’d be scared silly to even get that close, bears can climb too. You have to be a Richard J.

Jerry Stein and Phil Jahnke left Tuesday at 5:00 a.m. to take a bus trip with 47 students to see Shakespeare’s play “As You Like It” at Stratford. Ontario.

FREE AUTO QUOTES BY OUR COMPUTER! BOOTH AGENCY INCORPORATED MIDDLEVILLE PHONE795-3302 The Midland Nuclear Plant in the home stretch of construction. Business and labor leaders, in unusual harmony, say the electri­ city that will lx* produced by the Midland Nuclear Plant is es­ sential to Michigan's economy. Resolutions urging quick com­ pletion and licensing of the plant have been passed by both the Michigan State Building and Construction Trades Council and the Michigan State Chamber of Commerce. Both organizations worry that without Consumers Power Company’s Midland plant future supplies of electricity will not l>e large enough to meet the needs of business and industry They fear that even the current recovery could be scuttled, sen­ tencing Michigan to continued recession and high unemploy­ ment. Without the Midland plant. Michigan will lie short of electric power “at the very time it is needed most to satisfy the re­ quirements of increased business activity and to create the jobs so desperately desired,” says the Building and Construction Trades Council The Chamber agrees, adding that the absence of the Midland plant “could cripple the recovery and place a roadblock to com­ mercial expansion.” The organi­ zation notes that “Michigan's citizens, for too long, have been required to live in an environ­ ment in which unemployment concerns have dominated their thoughts. Economic recovery. fueled by the timely construction and completion of the state’s electric generating plants, is vital in changing this condition.” Both groups point out that Michigan’s current electric sup­ ply is deceiving. It is adequate in part because Michigan’s reces­ sion has greatly reduced com­ mercial and industrial use of power. But as the recovery that is now underway grows stronger, increased demand will quickly eat up existing reserves of elec­ tricity. And as Consumers Power re­ cently discovered, demand can jump unpredictably. On a steamy July 15, the Company’s cus­ tomers set a new record for peak demand—a level of use the Company had nt expected to occur until 1986. The Chamber points out that energy plays a critical role in maintaining a healthy economy. A prosperous business demands a plentiful reliable supply of energy to fulfill its growing needs. That supply becomes an attractive incentive for existing businesses to stay in Michigan, and helps convince others to re­ locate in the state. All of that translates into jobs, for bringing ecn bock cleon I, Thelma, left Monday morning to visit my friend Leona Weber a few days up at Buckley.

What occurred that evening never let the Scots coaching staff see if they had an offense, because the Scots never got one started. The offense was only in Byron Center territory twice in the whole ball game. Even with the poor field position and the large amount of penalties (10 for 80 yards), and the over­ riding fact the Scots had 14 fumbles and lost 7 and 1 intercepted pass, the Scots still managed a 6-0 over­ time win over the home Bulldogs. “It wasn't pretty, but it is a win” said Coach Shefferly. Again the Scot defense was put to the test time and time again and Jeff VanMeter ran an outstanding race in the Scot victory over Hamilton. Hawkeyes Fall to CHS Front Runners The Fighting Scot Cross Country team opened the OK Blue dual meet season with an excellent 21-36 victory over the Hamilton Hawkeyes.

Pollie, Wilhite and Powers were all medal winners. they responded by recording the shut-out. The game ended 0-0 in regulation. The Scots lost the overtime flip but Byron Center elected to go on offense. In the second play from scrimmage the Scot defense forced a fumble and recovered. They then went on offense and after one play and a face mask penalty against Byron Center, they found pay dirt on the next play and the game was history for another year. This Friday evening the Scots will entertain the also-unbeaten Panthers of Comstock Park at the annual Homecoming event. TK Golfers Improve Blue Record Timmerman was match medalist with a 40. Other point winning scores were Tim VanPolen’s 45, Rick Sherman's 50, and Jim Will’s 51. Greg Schondelmayer’s 46 lead the JV’s to a 202 to 226 win over Hamilton JVs. Earlier in the week, the Trojans lost two matches at home on the Yankee Springs Course. On Monday. Caledonia's 162 and Hudsonville’s 166 were good enough to defeat Middleville’s 173. Timmerman toured the Y.S. back nine in an even par 36 to earn match medalist honors, the eighth time in nine mat­ ches that Rolfe has achieved that honor. Tim VanPolen had a 45 and Todd Courts and Jim Will 46’s for Middleville’s other three counting scores.

The Trojans are in for a big week of tennis with five matches to be played, four of them away. The only home match is with Kelloggsville on Wed­ nesday. Last week the Trojans defeated Lee 7-0. The Rebels’ No. 1 singles player defeated Hudsonville last week, so we were expecting a tough match for Deb Ploeg. She controlled the match from the start, however, and won 6-1,6-2. Darcy Wingeier played a fine match against Lee. Darcy showed patience and a strong consistent ser­ ve to totally dominate her opponent. The Trojan gals are now 6-0 on the year and 4-0 in conference.

Going into the match at the tough Clearbrook Country Club layout in Saugatuck, Hamilton’s home course, Middleville had a 2-3 league record. One or two losses would have virtually eliminated the Trojans from title con­ tention . On a cold, windy, rainy day on the shores of Lake Michigan, the Trojans shot a solid, if not spec­ tacular, 186 to defeat Comstock Park’s 189 and Hamilton’s 194. Hamilton’s league record falls to 34.

Going into the game, the Trojans faced a tough Hamilton squad who had vowed at the season's start to go through the year unscored upon. By the second quarter, the Hawkeyes were forced to realign their season’s goals as a result of Tim Heffner's 40yard pass to Lester Caldwell for a touchdown. The Trojans 2-point con verstion was another successful pass from Heffner to Caldwell. Middleville's offense Junior Varsity Buries Hawkeyes For 3-0 Record by Corinne McAlary and Brenda VanDuine At the Thursday night JV football game, Mid­ dleville defeated Hamilton 18-0, giving them a 3-0 record. A scoreless first quarter saw Middleville at Hamilton’s 1-yard line, before a fumble stopped the drive. The Trojans scored the next time they got their hands on the ball. The running of Mike Blair and Jon Moretti produced a 38 yard scoring drive capped by Moretti’s 2-yard TD run. The next Trojan possession saw Moretti do the bulk of the running. Quarterback Jerry Steele hooked up with wide receiver Greg Newman on a 29yard pass play. Moretti finally scored from the 1 yard line and Middleville lead at halftime 12-0. In the 4th quarter, Blair scored a 3 yard run after Steele kept the football and ran 72 yards before being hauled down. Middleville's defense has not given up a point in the first three games. Scot King, Bob Caldwell, Jerry Steele, Jay Porteous and Greg Newman were this week's leaders on defense. This Thursday, Middleville plays Kelloggsville at home. This is a rare treat for Middleville football fans because both the freshmen and J Vs play at home. was unable to get across the goal line for the tackling of the Hamilton runner. remainder of the game. The defense, however, was Other outstanding defensive players for the able to hold Hamilton scoreless until the end of the Trojans were Mitch Mugridge, Ed Pawloski, Scott fourth quarter when the Hawkeyes’ quarterback Noffke and Paul Ordway. threw to his receiver for a 29-yard touchdown. The Offensively, the Trojans gained six first downs. Hawkeyes then attempted to tie up the score, but Heffner completed six of 21 attempts for 101 yards their two-point run was blotted out by Caldwell’s and one touchdown. Caldwell was leading pass receiver, catching four passes for 56 yards. Adding to the air attack were Scott Kaminski, one for five yards, and Scott Duflo. one for 40 yards. Leading rusher was Kaminski, running for 40 yards in 12 at­ tempts. The defense's ability to come up with key plays worked to Middleville’s advantage. They were able to pick up to of Hamilton’s seven fumbles, and Caldwell and Mugridge picked off two of Hamilton's passes. All in all, it was a great effort by the whole team. This week’s victory for us over Hamilton was a This week the Trojans travel to Kelloggsville who “sweet’’ one. We felt from the beginning of the beat Hudsonville last week. It should be a great game. season that this would be one of our biggest games. After our performance against Lee last week and Hamilton’s undefeated and unscored upon team, we were more than concerned. This week, however, we came to play. This was the most physical game that a Middleville team has had to play in several years. Our defense was excellent in stopping the Hawkeyes three times inside our 10 yard line. Hamilton was a to big team outweighing us about 20 pounds per man. The offense did not run well but they did the job and they cut down the mistakes and turnovers that hurt us badly the past two weeks. I felt this was a real team performance as every member of the team deserved a share of the credit for the victory. This includes the subs, who did not play in the game but ran Hamilton’s plays on offen­ se and defense all week against the regulars. Another thing that should be noted is the work of the entire coaching staff in achieving a victory like this. The touchdown play came from Coach Pranger in the press box; Coach Greenman scouted Hamilton 3 times, and Coach McKee scouted Hamilton once. It takes this kind of effort to win. This week it is Kelloggsville and another tough game. They have lost only once and that was to Comstock Park, probably the best in the league. Should be a good game and we hope to see you there.

They had been to Centerville Fair and on their way home coming through Three Rivers a tree fell on their car, pinning Catherine in the back seat. The Jaws of Life helped rescue her. They took her to the hospital there, but by the grace of God she is home and has much pain in the neck area. Glass shattered over Bud, Ame and Lib, but all are okay now except the car. A miracle — a car runs into a tree but not a tree runs into a car. Cliff and Frances Johnson called on Cislers Sun­ day evening. Son Ken and Blanche brought in Sunday dinner for the folks and enjoyed it with them. Can’t keep us good folks down too long. Our Social Club met at Saskatoon Thursday for lunch.

Charlotte Luneke and Gertrude Higley enjoyed Sunday dinner at the Middle Villa Inn.' I don't think we need as much rain. The farmer's fields are much too wet to work on now.

They are too complicated or controversial. Still I consider the following issues to be among the most important lawmakers will discuss during the next couple of months. Sunset. Majority leader Joe Forbes has appointed a subcommittee to consider the sunset evaluation bills we co-sponsored earlier this year. Represen­ tative Forbes and I are serving on the panel and plan to look carefully at other states' experiences — both good and bad - with the sunset process. I strongly believe that state services would be im­ proved and tax dollars spent more efficiently if the legislature strengthened its committee system and undertook regular program evaluation. Unfor­ tunately, Governor Blanchard does not seem as in­ terested in a more legislative oversight role as he was as a congressman. It appears there will be pressure to limit pre-established program ter­ mination dates and the review process to a pilot project. While long and difficult negotiations lie ahead, 1 am pleased the work has finally begun. Budget Reform? The Department of Management and Budget (DMB) will be proposing to the legislature a comprehensive re-write of the state law which authorizes the budget process. For example, DMB would like to give the Gover­ nor more time to formulate his proposed budget before he presents it to the legislature. Such a delay was granted to Governor Blanchard this year because of the change in administrations. I am con­ cerned that continuing the policy would give lawmakers even less time to thoroughly consider the Governor s budget proposal before a fiscal plan must be adopted. One reform DMB will not likely offer is to make the legislature more accountable for the setting of overall expenditure levels and departmental priorities. Currently, that all-important step is negotiated between the Governor’s office and legislative leaders. Once those figures are agreed upon, the Appropriations Committees generally limit their discussions to how funds will be spent within each department. The size and allocation of the state’s general fund budget are issues that should be openly debated and decided by all lawmakers. I will push for such a change in the existing, unsatisfactory budget process. Tax Expenditures. The Taxation Subcommittee review of over $6.6 billion in credits and exemptions written into state tax laws has been assigned a dif­ ficult task. As a member of the subcommittee, I strongly support efforts to tighten tax breaks which cannot be justified or serve little useful purpose. However, a major obstacle to agreement on such charges may be deciding the ultimate goal of the committe: Is it simply to raise more revenue for the state or to reduce the exceptions so that overall tax rates can be cut?

The controversial issue has resurfaced as players for both sides prepare to battle once again over legislation that would make it illegal for drivers and front seat passengers to ride beltless in Michigan. The bill, currently before the House Insurance Committee and subject to public hearings, would impose a maximum $10 fine on persons caught not wearing properly adjusted- and fastened safety belts. Although considered a civil infraction, a violation would not result in assessment of driver record points. Exempt from the rule would be drixers and passenger of motor vehicles manufactured before 1965, vehicles which the federal government does not require to have safety belts, cars equipped with air bags or other passive restraining systems, and buses. Unless extended, the law would expire April 1.1987. Those favoring mandatory seat belt use say it could lower Michigan’s annual traffic death toll by as many as 300 fatalities as well as reduce the severity of or prevent some 24,000 serious injuries and 76,000 minor injuries. Opponents believe the new law represents a* policy of ticketing thousands of "offenders” who have committed no real crime. And, since studies show that most drivers don’t wear seat belts, enforcement would be arbitrary and costly. The argument, however, is not over the potential life-saving benefits from putting seat belts to good use. A national study of 15,000 auto accidents revealed that persons wearing shoulder-lap com­ binations better their chances of escaping moderate to fatal injuries by 57 percent. And here in Michigan, eight months after a child restraint measure went into effect April 1, 1982, the State Police reported auto-related injuries or deaths to children under age 4 fell 35 percent. Rather, the debate will center primarily on freedom of choice versus the apparent high costs associated with refusing to buckle up. Opponents of a mandatory seat belt law complain the statute would violate their constitutional rights and argue that the state should not concern itself with a person’s decision not to use them. Proponen­ ts counter by saying driving is a privilege legitimately regulated by the state, and when it comes to paying part of the tab for treating auto ac­ cident victirfis, the state is very much concerned. If the bill becomes law, Michigan would be the fir­ st state in the nation to require motorists to buckle up. If it should fail, then driver should be en­ couraged to know the facts concerning seat belt safety so their choice to wear or not to wear is a free and informed one.

Mt OdtM Uvtgtodt Auction Eyestrain and TV 7th Graders Win Opening Game Many people experience eyestrain while watching TV, especially when viewed at night. Here are some tips you can follow to make your television viewing more relaxing. •Position the set at least six times the width of the screen away from the place where you plan to view it. •Place the set at eye level, so that you don’t have to look up or down to watch the picture. •Don’t watch TV in a dark room. The room should have soft over-all lighting on. •Adjust the brightness of the screen to the lighting of the room. •If you have eyeglasses prescribed for distances beyond 2 feet, wear them while watching TV. •Avoid glare or reflections on the screen from lamps or windows in the room. The TK Seventh Grade basketball team held off a late charge from the Martin Clippers to win their opening game of the season 15-14. The Trojans star­ ted slow as they fell behind 8-7 at the half. The third quarter saw the Trojans become much more aggressive and open up a 15-8 lead. The fourth period was all Clippers as they outscored the Trojans 6-0, but fell 1 point short in their comeback bid. The Trojan victory was a total team effort as all 17 players were able to see action. Trojan center Martha Funk scored a game high 8 points, followed by Pam Eaglen 5 and Sharia Raab 2. Other members of the team are Lisa Dugan, Tracy Frowing, Kerry Karpinski, Jill Dussia, An­ drea Reurink, Mindy Bray. Beth Berry, Adelle McLain, Lisa Wyatt, Shelly Swelnis, Barb Holstead.

The Trojans started slow and held a slim 4-2 lead at the end of the first quarter. As the second quarter began, the Trojans took control of the game, nut­ scoring Martin 10-0 to take a 14-2 halftime lead. During the third quarter, as the Trojans substituted freely, Martin began to cut into the Trojan lead. The Trojan bench, playing against Martin’s starters at times, were not able to stop Martin’s comeback as they outscored the Trojans 14 to 4. With a minute to play and leading by only 4 points, the Trojan star­ ters re-entered the game to put a stop to Martin’s comeback. The Trojans were successful and defeated Martin 26-20. Leading the scoring were Shelley Gray, 10 points: Beth Steeby, Heather Perry and Missy Moretti 4 points, and Julie DeMorrow and Michele Errair each had 2 points. PEST CONTROL, Inc.

In my estimation the store bought variety were much more pleasing. Recently, when my folks moved, it was evident which gifts were the treasures. Cards, handprints, candles and ceramic figurines that the kids had made were carefully tucked into boxes and moved. Long gone were the store purchased gifts. I’ve since perfected some crafts and enjoy giving and receiving handmade gif­ ts. I appreciate the quality and originality. I also know how many hours are invested. It is time once again to become inspired to make Christmas gifts. Last year I started a little too late. On Christmas eve, ten minutes before the midnight church ser­ vices, I finally finished all the projects. This year I ’m vowing to begin earlier! There are many different crafts that produce unique gifts. Since we don’t possess the same talen­ ts I’ll mention many books with projects that require various skills. Create and see how much fun it is when a special gift is opened. There is nothing more fun than young children at Christmas. They are delighted by all the sights, sounds and especially the presents. That’s why they are fun to create for. Rodney Peppe’s Moving Toys contains complete plans for many toys. Wooden drummers, rocking horses and musical clowns are detailed. Making Toys in Wood by Charles Hayward covers over 50 projects from toboggans to train sets. Games You Can Build Yourself by Katherine Zechlin provides fun filled projects for the builder and the players. ’Better Homes and Gar­ dens* have produced, 167 Things to Make for Children. Step-by-step instruction for needlework, woodwork and decorating projects are provided. If sewing is your forte, consider Children's Clothes by Rodway. Many creative patterns for children 1-10 years are found in this book. Children enjoy making things themselves. The Young Craftsman by Popular Mechanics Press and It's Fun to Make it Yourselfby Maney are good sources of ideas. They are old books but very worthy of attention. Before starting some of the more complicated crafts special equipment must be purchased. Con­ sider instead, Building Craft Equipment by Abrams. Drawing tables, easels, looms and potter’s wheels are explained. Some of the most appreciated gifts come from your kitchen. Many holiday delectibles are welcome gifts. Friendly Food Gifts From Your Kitchen by Elise Manning and The Joy of Giving Homemade Food making food giving fun. Some people can do anything with a sewing machine. Others do much better with handwork. These books offer new ideas or variations that will spark your interest:CZotA Hats, Bags'n Baggage by Frager, The Complete Book of Home Crafts, by Westland, Soft, by Gaines and McCall's Big Book of Knit and Crochet for Home and Family. Good books! Have I mentioned a craft that you particularly en­ joy? How about Contemporary Candlemaking, by Webster, Creating with Metal, by Granstrom or Christmas Magic, by Perry? How about if you come in and check on these yourself? See Stratford Play Forty-five students and two instructors from TKHS traveled to Stratford, Ontario recently to see William Shakespeare’s As You Like It at the Festival Theatre. Organized locally by high school English teachers Gerald Stein and Phillip Jahnke, the one-day trip was a funfilled and educational ex­ perience for the 9th through 12th grade T.K. students. Arrangements for travel by coach were made through G & M coaches of Grand Rapids. by Jackie Schmitz Celebrate 25th Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Dave Dykstra of Middleville, celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary October 3rd with a family dinner. Their children surprised them with a trip to Opryland, Nashville, Tenn. Their children are Jo Anne Dykstra, Rob and Sue Dykstra, Dave and Cheryl Corson. Grandchildren are Amanda and Amy Dykstra and Holly Corson. JoHanna Steiner to Raise StandardbredFoal A Barry County youth, JoHanna Steiner of Mid­ dleville, has been selected to raise a Standardbred foal for one year as part of the Michigan 4-H Stan­ dardbred Horse Production Project. Steiner is one of 18 Michigan 4-H members selec­ ted to participate in the 1983-84 production project. Qualified 4-H’ers were chosen by the 4-H Standar­ dbred Advisory Committee. Next month Steiner will receive a foal bom last spring. She will raise the horse until August of 1984 and then will sell the horse at a Standardbred auc­ tion. Steiner will receive one-third of the sale price after expenses, with the remainder going to the breeder who donated the foal. ‘The project gives the kids an opportunity to learn the responsibility that comes with caring for a hor­ se,' says Kathy Walters, Barry County Extension 4H youth agent. ‘A unique aspect of the Standar­ dbred project is that it also gives young people a rare opportunity to learn about the economics and career possibilities in the harness racing industry.* Steiner will participate in a number of programs throughout the year through the cooperation of the Michigan Hamess Horsemen’s Association and Michigan Standardbred Breeders’ Association. She will attend meetings on horse care, visit breeding and training facilities, and participate in a workshop on preparing her yearling for sale. With the ‘mini baby boom’ on new parents are finding themselves with the decision of what type of diapers to use. They are inundated with advice from the media advertising and helpful friends and family and sometimes it gets confusing. One thing to con­ sider when making your choice is what effect your decision will have on the environment. Home laundered cloth diapers are the least expen­ sive and most environmentally sound alternative. Diaper service, although most expensive, may be the choice of extra busy parents and those employed outside the home because of the convenience they offer. Like home laundered diapers, these diapers are used again and again and so do not add to the disposal problem. Paper diapers, although less ex­ pensive then diaper service and possibly more con­ venient than cloth diapers are still more expensive than washing your own and the problem of disposal is a major consideration. Over a period of one year approximately 2,184 used diapers end up in the local landfill for each baby using ‘disposable diapers’. Not only is the diaper m.ade of paper, which when used once and thrown away is a waste of a valuable resource, the plastic portion of the diaper creates a serious waste dilemma. Left on its own in a landfill the plastic will remain indefinitely.

Getting the garden cleaned up - mowing the grass for one last time!!(hopefully) tucking away bulbs for the winter. One woman was even putting up shutters at 8:00 in the evening. I said how could she possibly see at that time of night. She said “not too well - but the hornets wouldn’t let her do it any other time.” I guess that sounds reasonable.

Keeps the studying and sleeping areas more separate in their small dorm rooms. Then Thursday they watched son Mark and his freshman football team.

Middleville defeated Lee 5-0, but tied Kelloggsville 2 Vi to 2 Vi. Middleville was led by medalist Rolfe Timmerman’s even par 35, Tim VanPolen’s 42, Jim Will’s 45 and Todd Courts’ 47.

Jennifer won three league matches at second singles last week, and was never really challenged. Jennifer concentrates hard and is a serious player on the court, just what we like to see in our players. Jen­ nifer was chosen as ‘player of the match’ against Lee. Darcy Wingeier and Sara Schondelmayer played first doubles together for the first time against Caledonia. Darcy and Sara played some of the best doubles we have seen at Middleville in sometime. Our first doubles team dominated Caledonia 6-0. 60. Both players were consisten from the backcourt and put away numerous net shots to control the match. Sandi Wierenga played her first singles match of the year against Caledonia and won 6-1,6-0. Sandi looked very strong and rushed the net to stay in control of the match. Sandi has been playing first doubles this year, but it didn’t take her long to adapt to the singles game.

The Trojans lost a close game by the score of 21-20. Kelloggsville opened the scoring on a 6 yard run by Eric Miller. Middleville stormed right back when Heffner saw Dufflo in the corner for a 20 yard touchdown that put the Trojans down by one. Cald­ well caught the extra point and the Trojans were up by one. That was only to last a few minutes as Kelloggsville came right back on a 34 yard run and a pass for the extra point that put them ahead by 7 going into halftime. The second half saw Middleville come out to take control. Scott Kaminski scored on a 1 yard plunge into the endzone for the first and only score of the third quarter. The point after attempt failed. Mid­ dleville came out in the fourth quarter to take the lead by five when Heffner reached paydirt On a one yard sneak into the endzone. But, the visions of vic­ tory were only to last a moment as Kelloggsville stomped for a 24 yard touchdown to make the final score 21-20. Middleville ended up the night with 108 yards rushing. Kaminski once again led all rushers with 49 yards on 16 carries. In the passing department Hef­ fner threw 22 times and completed 8 of them for 128 yards and 1 touchdown.

But legislative budgetary support of k-12 schools over the past decade is revealing. In 1970 over 28 per cent of all state revenues were devoted to elementary and secondary education. Next year only about 14 per cent of the total budget will be allocated to Michigan school districts. After a long period of neglect, however, education is suddenly becoming a center stage issue in Lan­ sing. It’s no wonder. 'Nation at Risk*, the federal report released earlier this year has unleashed longsimmering citizen concerns about the quality of American schools. Last week House Speaker Gary owen appointed a legislative task force to study a blizzard of reports and recommendations and to hold public hearings concerning K-12 education. One of the most comprehensive proposals to be reviewed is the plan developed by House and Senate Republicans. Examples of the reforms suggested in this report include: -A requirement by 1986-87 that satisfactory per­ formance on a state competency test be required for high school graduation. -The extension of the school year from 900 hours to 1140 hours by 1988-89, in order to provide more classroom experience for students. -More frequent and wider ranging assessment testing of students to monitor their progress through elementary and secondary schools. -Incentive scholarships covering tuition and books at any public college in Michigan for those students who score in the top 25 per cent on the -A requirement that teachers in junior and senior high schools only be allowed to teach those subjects in which they majored or minored in college. -Competency testing before teachers can be cer­ tified. and a tougher evaluation process for all educators-including a five year re-certification requirement. -Incentive pay for outstanding educators. -The earmarking of the first 1.5 per cent of the state income tax rate for public K-l 2 education. If that plan were in effect for the 1983-84 budget year, the existing $1.4 billion school aid ap­ propriation would be $420 million greater. Are such proposals simply a lot of political rhetoric designed to attract positive publicity but destined to collect dust? I don’t believe so. My per­ ception is that many citizens are too concerned to let this issue die. But change won’t come easily. One reason is that revised government goals and policies will be futile if public frustration is not converted into much more citizen Participation in school elections, board meetings, and educational support activities than exists today. A second reason is that necessary change will cost more money than many local school districts and the state have been willing and able to spend.

[Las Vegas! rssiwaJParty Capitol Column by Senator Dick Posthumus A Quality Education: Our Future Depends On It Over the past decade, there is no question that state government has not placed proper emphasis on education in general and K-12 education in par­ ticular. Seemingly inherent in our legislative processis the desire to deal with short t«rm prooiems which provide no lasting solutions, rather than addressing issues requiring long-term invest­ ments that will pay off in great dividends. Such seems to be the case with education. It is a recognized responsibility of state government, but somehow always ends up next on the list in terms of state spending priorities. However, legislation introduced last week by Republicans in the House and Senate would move education to the head of the class compared with other funding priorities in Michigan. It would also achieve a new excellence of education in our state. The two-bill package would require mandatory competency tests for all new teachers and graduating high school students, set tougher curriculum, a longer school year and additional cer­ tification standards for students and teachers; and, it would provide additional state school aid dollars to local public school districts. This legislation would implement a major portion of the joint Senate/House Republican Excellence in iSducation Action Plan for the 80’s which was an­ nounced less than one month ago. At that time, those who give only lip-service to the need for improving our education system, criticized the proposal as being too costly. There is no denying that quality education costs money; but, the Republican proposal would not cost the tax­ payers additional money. It merely reallocates existing state revenues, providing a greater share of state dollars to education. The Republican legislation would earmark the fir­ st 1.5 percent of the state income tax for K-12 education and remove the current General Fund contribution and use tax monies. Sixty percent of sales tax revenues and all lottery monies would con­ tinue to go to public schools. Based on this formula, it is estimated that the K-12 education budget for next year could be increased by $420 million. That money would come from existing revenues in the state budget, not from additional tax dollars. In fact, because the state would be picking up a greater share of funding responsibility for K-12 education, a lesser burden would be placed on property tax needs at the local level. Because the state has neglected its responsibility to education, we have watched our education system deteriorate and the educational levels of our youngsters diminish. The future of our state and nation rests with the knowledge and skills we im­ part to our children. Providing a quality education is the best investment we can make with our tax dollars because it will equip them with the necessary skills needed to meet the new technological requirements of business and in­ dustry. Without a skilled work force, there will be no work in Michigan. Excellence in education: our economic future depends on it. I hope you will support my efforts in working for passage of this important legislation.

This forms the cornerstone of an economic development and jobs programs for the State in providing needed capital for new and ex­ panding businesses. I strongly concur with the con­ cept and will work for its passage, although there is much work to be done and many changes are likely to be made in the bills themsilves. Again, more on that in a later column as more specifics are available. The other issue that is receining much attention, and one which I have been most closely involved, since I sit on the Social Services Committee, is the $43 million yet to be appropriated from the Social Services Budget. Our original Republican proposal called for $39 million of the total to be used for an Employment and Training (workfare) program, and CKIWCK) ©IBSCTW MIDDLEVILLE LUTHERAN MISSION Meeting in TK Middle School Cafeteria Sunday School.............................................................. 9:30 a.m. Worship...................................................................... 11 :OO a.m. Adult Bible Study.....................................

It appears now that the final breakdown will be more in the area of a 50/50 split between the two programs. My priority and efforts will be directed at funding the workfare portion as heavily as is possible. Closely related to the Social Services/ Welfare program, is legislation which I've supported which would impose a six-month residency requirement on persons applying for General Assistance benefits. The proposal, which has already received the endor­ sement of 40 legislators in the House, would amend the State Social Welfare Act, and would require ap­ plicants for the GA program to prove they have lived in the state for six months before they could be eligible to collect welfare benefits. Those of us supporting this reform are aware that it may run into some problems in the courts. The U.S. Supreme Court has already struck down statutes in other states that have tried to halt welfare abuse through the residency requirement. However, those cases dealt only with recipients of Aid to Families with Dependant Childreen. which is monitored by the federal government. Michigan is one of only a handful of states that have General Assistance benefits, and residency requirements have never been imposed on those applicants before. While the courts have seen fit to prohibit residen­ cy requirements on AFDC recipients, a state-funded GA program would represent a new. and so far, un­ tried area in the judiciary. Even if they do prove this idea unconstitutional, those of us supporting the measure will have a least tried to keep our Social Services programs from being abused by non­ Michigan residents.

If so, you need to know about a new regulation to help prevent the in­ terstate spread of this leaf-eating pest. ‘Don’t Move Gypsy Moth’ is the title of an illustrated brochure that explains the new regulation, according to Judy Kain, Thornapple Kellogg Librarian. Anyone planning tc move can come by the library and check it out to make sure they don’t take an old pest to a new neighborhood.' The regulation, effective Oct. 3, requires that all outdoor household articles be free of gypsy moth life stages-eggs, caterpillars, cocoons and adults. State and federal agriculture officials will be checking interstate moves in transit or at destinations to make sure they are gypsy moth free. ‘People moving from high risk areas will have to inspect their outdoor household articles before they move them, or hire a USDA trained commercial ex­ pert to do the inspection fro them. The brochure explains how to inspect for gypsy moth life stages, how to dispose of them and provides a record of the do-it-yourself inspection. Most new isolated infestations are started from gypsy moth egg masses on household articles used or stored outdoors during the gypsy moth’s egg­ laying stage. Each tan colored, fuzzy egg mass can contain as many as 1,000 eggs-capable of over win­ tering to hatch and start a new infestation of the leaf eating gypsy moth.

Ten years ago there was little concern over the ef­ fects of illicit drug use and contact lenses. But recently marijuana and cocaine use has become en­ demic in our society. Any type of amphetamine or barbiturate drug, and even over-the-counter remedies such as an­ tihistamines and analgesics, decrease lacrimation (tearing). The problem with mind altering drugs is further compounded because drugs are frequently consumed in a social atmosphere. Both marijuana and cocaine decrease tear produc­ tion. The problem is heightened with marijuana because the user is likely to assume a fixed gaze. When the tear film is not spread across the lens, the lens will dehydrate even faster. Cocaine, which affects the nervous system, tends to have an anesthetic effect. Because cocaine ran numb the extremeties, contact lens wearers may not be aware of the discomfort until the lens begins to severely dehydrate while on the cornea. Any type of drug user, be it prescribed, over-thecounter. or illegal, would be well advised to speak to his practitioner about the drugs and their possible effects on contact lenses.

OCTOBER 13,1983 • MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 113th YEAR • NUMBER 41 Local School Kids Touch Moon, Go Computerized Students in the Caledonia Community Schools are having the opportunity to get a first hand look at some of the rock and soil samples that were brought back to the U.S. from the moon landings several years ago. Science teacher Joe Zomerlei(shown above with three of his seventh grade students), took a special workshop course this summer so he was able to obtain the samples. “NASA looks after the samples with great care and the person respon­ sible for them must have them under his supervision at all times, or under lock,” said Zomerlei. A total of 843 pounds of rock and soil samples were brought back from the moon and to date every ounce of it is still accounted for, reported the teacher. Students at the school have the opportunity to examine the samples under a microscope as they are encased in plastic to prevent deterioration. Shown looking at the samples areffrom left) Shawn LeTarte, Byrne Harmon and Mike Kidder. TKHS Students to Learn Computer Science in New Lab BAND DIRECTOR MELLISSA MUDGET Seek More Bandsmen For Community Band The Caledonia Community Band enters its third year under the baton of a new director, Mellissa Mudget, a Grand Valley music major in her senior year. Miss Mudget is already starting to plan for the coming year, introducing several new and unique ideas. She stated that first she would like to invite former band members from neighboring areas such as Kentwood, Forest Hills, Lowell, Byron Center and Middleville to join with people from Caledonia.

Michelle Hurst, a senior at Thornapple Kellogg High School, says "computer science is a class where you get really excited when a program you’ve been working on works right.” She goes on to say; "I think the reason is that when you get the program to work correctly you know it right away, the computer immediately shows you the results.” Many students have felt that excitement lately. TKHS has a brand new computer lab for its studen­ ts. The creation of this new computer lab began a year ago when the curriculum council decided that the facilities and course offerings which were being offered were insufficient. The curriculum council appointed a committee to study the issue and make recommendations to them. These recommendations which included the purchase of new equipment as well as expanded course offerings were then passed on to the board of education. The board realizing the need to prepare our students for the increasing technological world, took prompt action. The computer lab is currently in use almost con­ stantly from eight o’clock in the morning until 10 o’clock at night. During the day students are taking either computer science, a class which emphasizes programming techniques or computers and society which according to Cindy Marriage, a junior, "should help prepare us for practical applications of computer use. We are studying computer history and application in industry as well as learning how to correctly use word processors, and I understand that we are also going to be doing some work with database operations next term.” In addition on four nights a week the computers are used by members of the community in the adult education classes. Judy Hendrickson and Jackie Hoover are teaching the computer and society classes, and Kevin Briggs is teaching the computer science classes. Students show up early, often come in during their lunch hours and stay as late after school working on them as they can. "I think some of them would stay all night if we let them,” said Ms. Hendrickson. The computer age has arrived for the students at Thornapple Kellogg High School. �Financial Aid Nite At Your Public Library At TK October 19 By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistant . It is very satisfying for the librarians to see so many public books circulating. We realize that the patrons would like to find a good selection both in the new fiction and the new non-fiction. With this in mind, we are continually introducing new additions to the collection. If you are particularly interested in a current best seller, but don’t find it on the shelves, please ask. We will do our best to either purchase the book for the collection, order the book through Lakeland inter-loan libraries or reserve the book for you if we already own it. I would like to call to your attention a new group of fiction books. I will give you a little background on each. 1. TTu? Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. This novel is set in Medieval Italy. Brother William is called upon to solve the bizarre murders of seven monks. 2.Heart bum by Nora Ephron. Rachel, a cookbook writer and Mark, a syndicated columnist, are breaking up their marriage. This is the sometimes funny account of how Rachel learns to deal with the divorce. 3. August by Judith Rossner. The author of At­ tachments and Looking for Mr. Goodbar returns to New York for the setting of the book. It involves Dawn and her psychoanalyst. 4. Long Voyage Back by Luke Rhinehart. The Russians using nuclear warfare are destroying the United States. A group of friends on a vacation cruise realize that there is nothing they can do to save their families or their country. 5. Doctor Blues by Mark Smith. This Michigan author describes the life of a man who matured during the 1950’s; his work, marriages and the mold he does not fit. 6. The Seduction of Peter S. by Laurence Sanders. The new bestseller from the author of The Case of Lucy Bending this time involves an out of work ac­ tor who sacrifices almost everything for a job. 7. The Follies of the King and Epitaph for Three Women by Jean Plaidy. She has written twelve books in the Plantagenet series. All of them involve the monarchies of England. 8. Advances by Samantha Joseph. An unhappy Queens housewife transforms herself into a glamorous, successful author. She travels to Spain and finds romance and intrique. 9. Battlefield Earth A Saga of the Year 3000 by L. Ron Hubbard. A huge volume (819 pages) of intergalactic life of the future. All science fiction en­ thusiasts should enjoy this! With the list three weeks ago and these nine new ones you can see our collection is really growing. We like to see as many patrons as possible borrow these books. Etching Class Offered A new class called Etching and Mirror Lifting is being offered by Thomapple Kellogg Community Education in Middleville.

Mr. Bruce Himebough, Director of Financial Aid at Hope College will be the guest speaker and will answer questions from those attending. Participan­ ts will receive handouts on college costs, financial aid programs and a worksheet for determining eligibility for financial aid.

How public schools in Michigan are financed is too complicated for all but a few lawmakers to fully understand. Yet so much time is spent debating the technicalities of issues like the school aid formula or the property tax circiut-breaker that Lansing is losing sight of some disturbing trends-and why they may be occuring. Consider these facts: -This year of the total revenues going to K-12, Michigan school operations, 64 percent will be raised locally by property taxes, 31 percent will come from appropriations made by the state legislature from tax revenues, and 5 percent will come from federal tax dollars. Ten years ago those figures were: 51 percent from local property taxes, 45 percent from state taxes and 4 percent from federal taxes. -K-12 support as a percentage of total state revenues this year is 14 percent. Ten years ago, 24 percent of the overall state budget was allocated for public shcools. -This year over $540 million in state income ELDON NEWMYER, D C.

Front row, from left: Deb Ploeg, Kathy Fox Lisa Wolverton, Sara Shondelmayer, Darcy Wingeier, Jeanine Stander, Jennifer Geukes Back row: Ingrid Konow, Melissa VerStrate, Missy Rounds, Sandi Wierenga, Karen Sias, Shannon Herweyer, Kathy Miner, Karyn Elies, Kristy Miner and Coach Larry Seger TK Girls Turn In Near Perfect Performance toTakeTournament BY COACH LARRY SEGER The Middleville tennis team started the week off on the wrong foot by losing its first match of the year to Godwin 4-3. With two starters out of the Trojan line up. Godwin was able to win all four poin­ ts in three sets. The loss left the Trojans with a 13-1 record at weeks end. Thursday the Trojans were at full strength and traveled to Hudsonville. Two matches were played in order to make up rained out match at Middleville earlier in the week. The Trojans won the first match 6-1. In the second match, which had been partially completed at Middleville, the Trojans won 6-0. Dar­ cy Wingeier’s match was called due to darkness. Darcy had lost the first set 6-7, but was leading in the second set 6-3. The two victories over Hudsonville gave the Trojans a perfect 10-0 league record and the dual match championship. The team needed to finish fir­ st or second in the conference tournament on Satur­ day to win the conference championship. The Trojan girls put together their finest perfor­ mance of the year and set an OK Blue record for the most points scored by one team in the conference tournament. The team scored 40 out of a possible 42 points, won six of seven individual titles, and had one runner up. This was the fifth title in the past seven years for the Trojans. Deb Ploeg won the first singles flight. It was the first time a freshman has ever won the top honors at the conference tournament. Deb defeated a fine player from Hamilton in the finals 6-1, 7-5. Deb was behind 3-6 in the second set when she started her comeback. The Hamilton player had been scoring at the net. Deb s passing shots were returned with crisp, sharp volleys. Deb changed strategy and hit higher, deeper lobs to make the Hamilton player’s overhead shots more difficult. The strategy worked . Deb ran off four straight games and came off the court as the OK Blue Conferences best tennis player. Deb did not lose a set in conference com­ petition this year. Quite an accomplishment for a freshman playing the best players from league schools. Second singles. Darcy Wingeier played her best match of the season in the semi-finals against Hud­ sonville. Darcy won the first set 6-4, lost the next 2-6 and won the third 6-0. Darcy showed great deter­ mination and concentration throughout the match. Consistent serves, good groundstrokes and some spectacular net play in the third set totally demoralized her opponent. Although Darcy lost her match in the finals we can only give credit to a fine player from Hamilton. Darcy had a great day and can be proud of her accomplishments. We are all proud of the way Darcy represented our school and community. Third singles Jennifer Geukes, another freshamn. won her semi-final and final match in straight seta. Jennifer has not lost a set in conference competition this year. That includes three wins at second singles. Jennifer played a shakey first set in the finals, but hung on to win. In the second set she played with more confidence. Jennifer hit much har­ der and with better angles in the second set which helped her put away a Hamilton player 6-0. Jennifer simply proved too strong for her opponent in the end, and another Trojan freshman came off the courts with a conference championship. Fourth singles player, Kristy Miner was a heavy favorite to win a singles crown, but she didn’t get it without a struggle. In her first match, Kristy played a determined Caledonia player. Kristy was playing her first match in the second round and may have been feeling the pressure. In the end Kristy won the match with sheer determination and hustle. In the fianls we saw a more relaxed confident player, Kristy completely dominated her Hamilton op­ ponent 6-0, 6-1. Kristy has not lost a set this year in­ cluding three matches at third singles. All four singles players did a fantstic job, but the doubles teams were not to be outdone. The first doubles team of Sandi Wierenga and Sara Schondelmayer have improved a great deal over the past week. Both players are moving and anticipating shots much better at the net. Their semi-final match with Hudsonville was special because the same Hudsonville team were conference champions last year. Sara and Sandi had defeated them twice earlier this year, but the tournament is something special. Our team was ready and turned Hudsonville away, 6-4,6-0. In the finals our team played a tough Hamilton team. Hamilton and Middleville had split two matches at first doubles during the year. Again the Trojan team was ready winning 6-3,6-1. The second doubles team of Karyn Elies and Kathy Miner have also shown great improvement over the past week. These two were all over the forecourt putting away shot after shot. Angles were near perfect as the Trojan team left their opponents standing. Karyn and Kathy lost a total of only four games in the semi-final and final matches, it was a real pleasure to watch these two play. The final mat­ ch was important to use because Hamilton had made us go to three sets to defeat them a week ago. Karyn and Kathy proved a point by winning the conference title 6-0, 6-0. The third doubles team of Karen Sias and Melissa VerStrate were placed number one for their flight. This team had not lost a set during the year and weren’t about to, even though they had to win their second sudden death set against a good Hudsonville team. Karen gave us the experience we needed at third doubles. Mellissa proved to be a steady back­ court player, and server. These two worked well together and showed plenty of determination and hustle. The third doubles team completed a clean sweep for the Trojan squad.

TK’s awesome defense stifled Caledonia’s attem­ pts to score in the first quarter; however, our attem­ pts to score were equally fruitless. In the second quarter, quarterback Jerry Steele ran 13 yards for the first touchdown of the game but failed to score the extra points. The Trojans lashed out again, this time on a 21 yd. touchdown pass from Steele to Scott Pritchard and as before the at­ tempt for extra points failed. The score at halftime was 12-0. Middleville completely dominated the second half beginning with Jon Moretti who ran 30 yds. for a TD. Mike Blair assisted in raising the score by run­ ning for extra points. A 50 yd. halfback pass from Moretti to flanker Greg Newman set up the next score. Newman carried the pass to the Caledonia one yard line where Moretti scored. A pass from Steel to Greg Corrigan complete the TD with the extra poin­ ts. The third quarter ended 28-0. The scoring was capped in the fourth when Brad Barnard scored once more for the Trojans on a 5yd run and Moretti contributed the extra points. The defense shined on as Scott King, Brad Bar­ nard, Scott Pritchard, Bob Caldwell, and Dave Finkbeiner put forth amazing team effort. Their record is now 5-0. They host Comstock Park tonight.

Scott Duflo the Trojans moving at will and the Scots unable to blocked a punt for a safety; Tim Heffner skipped in move. The final score of 35-6 was one of the worst on a 4 yard run for a TD, with Lester Caldwell defeats inflicted on the Scots by the Trojans. kicking the extra point. Tom Barry scored in the third quarter on a 4 yard run and Steve Rosenberg closed out the Trojan TD production with a 2 yard run late in the game. Caledonia's only score came in the third quarter with a one yard run by Mike Stablings. Middleville's Mike Newhouse had the only pass interception of the game which he ran back 7 yards. Middleville's total yardage told the story, too. They had 230 yards to Caledonia’s 70. On the groung, TK made 204 yards to the Scot's 46. Kaminski was the game’s leading rusher with 70 yards in 16 carries, followed by Rosenberg with 52 yards. This Friday night will be the big test for Mid­ dleville when they travel to Comstock Park to play an undefeated Panther team. A win there would put the Orange and Black back into the thick of the OK Blue title chase. The next home game will be homecoming on Oc­ tober 21 against Byron Center.

Middleville 31 - Kelloggsville 20 Thursday night the 8th grade girls basketball team defeated Kelloggsville 31-20 to improve their record to 4-1. The game was decided early as the Trojans jum­ ped to an 8-2 first quarter lead. The Trojan starters were to see little playing time during the rest of the game, as TK went to its bench, giving those players a chance to see what they could do. As the game progressed Kelloggsville was able to cut the Trojan lead to 12-9 at half time. The Trojan starters then built a comfortable lead again and the TK bench was able to maintain the lead for the rest of the quarter. The fourth quartered played much the same as the rest of the game as the Trojans held their own against Kelloggsville*s starters, who had to play most of the game because of only 7 members on the team. Leading scorers for the Trojans were: Missy Moretti 13 points, Heather Hannapel 12 points, Heather Perry, Beth Steeby and Kris Wohlford each with 2 points. 7th Graders Go to 5-0 The TK 7th grade ran their record to 5-0 last week with victories over Hamilton and Kelloggsville. In the Hamilton game the Trojans led all the way as they registered a 20-15 win. Pam Eagen led the team with lOpoints, Martha Funk had 5points, Jill Dussia had 2 points, Adelle McLain 2 points and Andrea Rearink 1 point. Hamilton was previuosly undefeated. In the Kelloggsville game the Trojans started slow and never really played well as they posted a deceiving 28-8 win. Once again the team was led in points by Pam Eagen 12 points, Martha Funk 6 points Lisa Dugan 4 points and Lisa Wyatt 2 poin­ ts. Other members of the team that contributed during the week although they did not score points were: Sharia Raab, Katie Ellis, Shelly Swelnis, Beth Berry, Jenny Groves, Kerry Karpinski, Barb Hoisted, Tracy Frowing, Mindy Bray and Stacey Anderson. �Capitol by Senator Dick Poathumus Governor Blanchard’s Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF) proposal shot through the Senate recently, although not escaping the careful eye of Republicans. The plan, heralded by the Administration as the answer to our state's economic woes, actually amounts to no more than a welcomed consolidation of existing programs. It proposes to merge the Michigan Economic Development Authority and the Job Development Authority and establish several “centers” for assistance to private enter­ prise, local government, research and development, product development, minority venture capital and loan insurance. I do not disagree with the concept of this fund not the importance of venture capital in diversifying our economy and creating jobs. There is nothing wrong with streamlining the system if it results in lower costs, better services and less duplication. But, before I could support the Governor’s package, several changes were necessary. Major Republican amendments included: removing the language declaring the Fund to be outside the Executive Branch; requiring appoin­ tments by the Governor to the MSF governing board to be subject to the advise and consent of the Senate; requiring that the 13-member board over­ seeing the Fund be represented by a woman, a minority and a member of the small business com­ munity; removing the exemption of the MSF board meetings from the Open Meetings Act and Freedom of Information Act requirements; and requiring that at least 20 percent of a funded project’s costs be privately financed. The most controversial Republican alteration was removal of a “prevailing wage” provision that would require union-scale wages be paid on funded projects. Since union wages and fringes are often substantially higher than the wages paid by con­ tractors in outstate or rural Michigan, such man­ date would only discourage many firms from seeking assistance. Nonetheless, House Democrats vow to keep prevailing wage in their version, which will leave it up to the joint House-Senate Conference Committee to decide. Certainly, Michigan has a severe problem in at­ tracting venture capital. However, there are many questions as to whether this is the problem or a symptom_ When new and expanding businesses are forced to pay artificially set wages and the highest workers compensation costs in the nation, we must wonder whether the primary challenge is a lack of venture capital or a lack of profitability. It will not do any good to finance the opening of new businesses in this state if they can’t make a profit after they get started. The debate over this fund and the artificially high wages that may be required tell me it would ultimately be better to remove restrictions from business and let the free enterprise system take its course. Healthy competition beats bureaucratic programs, hands-down. chmkh ©isicTOOT MIDDLEVILLE LUTHERAN MISSION MIDDLEVILLE CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH Sunday School........................................................... 9:30 a.m. Worship...................................................................... 11:00 a.m. 708 West Main Street Morning Worship Service Sunday School Evehing Worship Service Adult Bible Study.....................................

October 15, Historic Bowens Mills will celebrate Autumn with it’s Fall Fest. Cider Pressing along with other Pioneer Demon­ strations, Old Time Music and a Color Tour in beautiful Yankee Springs makes for a very' exciting Fall day. The Festivities will start at 10:00 a.m. and continue through out the day until 4:00 p.m. October is an intriging month at the Mill. The beauty of the colored leaves on the mill pond, the crisp, country air-along with the miracle of turning fresh juicy apples into pure, sweet cider makes for a very special time of year. In the old days, the early settlers came to the old mill with their harvest of apples and now as “The Past Lives Again’’ folks are coming from miles around to taste the sweet fresh cider made in the huge antique press. The cider pressing will be done in the morning. Costumed craftsmen will have their old time crocks, kettles and supplies set up along the edge of the old mill stream, demonstrating their pioneer skills. Apple butter will be made over the open fire, along with the making of sauerkraut. There will be baskets of fresh and dried herbs and flowers along with old fashioned arrangements from Countree. Also, some Indian Traders with baskets, rugs, bead work and leather goods and a craftsman will be working on pottery. The Lambs Quiver with Coun­ try Harvest Time Decor along with Folk Wood Craft will be on Hand. Many of their wares will be for sale. The Mill Museum will be open for tours all day along with the lower level where the Blacksmith will be working and the waterpowered machine shop will be in operation. Also, in the tour is the huge old cider mill, which the mill’s first owner purchased from a Mr. Briggs in 1902, it was used at the time. The press lay dormant for many years but has been restored. Fiddles, banjos, and dulcimers are always a part of the “special’’ days at the mill and their old time sounds will be heard from noon until 3:00 p.m. There will be plenty of good food available in­ cluding: cider, donuts, candy apples and popcorn, along with Polish Krout dogs, regular hot dogs and Ethnic Indian food. Although October sometimes brings uncertain weather, rain or shine, cold or warm the “Fall Fest” will take place, if the weather does not cooperate, the craftsmen will set up inside the Mill on the four­ th level, which is only opened if the day is bad for the activities to be held outside.

The breathing units do wonders for these children - helps keep them in school so they can get their education on time and are life savers for the adult emphysema and asthma patients. The association says that all that is needed to ob­ tain one of these units is to have written permission from your doctor and then call them at 1-616-9629271 collect if necessary; and they will bring the unit to you, show you how to use it and also clean it which is important. They are loaned free of charge for as long as needed. Blanch Sylvester, the Director, asked all to send their contributions in as soon as possible to help save funds for postage and help them continue their very active program which they carry out all through the year. The Association is most grateful for the response and support given last year. President Charles (Chuck) Mayer asks that you stand with them again this year. They need you.

Most adults know that you can’t do it without help. For some flights all you need is a few sticks and some strong fabric. For others you need a 747 and a crew of ten. Grown people regularly recognize that they need help — the help of teachers, of fellow workers, of a church, of God. Without such help, our flights are short and our landings tragic.

They left the Hernandez’s home about 5 p.m. Friday, registered at the park, and were busy setting up their camp site. The scouts brown bagged it for their meal on Friday night, and bedded down after Taps were played around 11:00 p.m. Saturday morning the camp awoke to a breakfast cooked by the National Guard, who arranged and assisted this Jubilee, and then had a day full of activities. There were 20 activities ona card, and the scouts had to pick out 9 activities of the 20 and complete them. When the activities were completed the scout or a leader had earned a pin. with the wor­ ds “Catch the Scouting Spirit. ” AU but one of Troop 65 earned a pin, and so did aU of our leaders. Also, the whole troop earned a patch for every scout and leader that attended the Jubilee. Saturday noon the Scouts had to cook their noon meal individuaUy, on top of a coffee can that they made in to a small cooking outfit at their last meeting. A steak dinner was cooked for the entire 1,400 scouts and leaders, Saturday night, by the National Guard. After the dinner, the entire group took a freedom walk to and around the Veterns Home across the street from the park. The Scouts and Leaders stood on a platform, and sung songs, skits were performed by different troops, and there were members of the Order of the Arrow in full In­ dian Dress. They performed Indian dances. Again taps were played to bed the campsites down after their return to the park. Sunday morning saw the break up of the different camps and cleaning up the individual areas of each troop. Then the areas were inspected by the National Guard, before any group could leave. The 1,400 scouts and leaders ate a breakfast cooked by the National Guard that morning and Troop 65 returned to the Hernandez home between 10 and 10:30 a.m. Sunday. They were tired but glad and proud that they had attended the Jubilee and earned their pins and patches. This coming weekend, October 14-16, Troop 65 will be attending another Scouting event, it will be held in Dowling, Michigan and be known as the Land of Lakes Campore of 1983.

I’m happy to say that my horizons have ex­ panded. Most non-fiction books that we have recen­ tly purchased have interested me for different reasons. Some help me perform tasks better. Others simply satisfy my curiosity. No longer do I rush by the new non-fiction section in order to get my hands on a new novel. I consider myself better informed and understand some of the vital issues of today. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the size and versatility of the non-fiction section. Because of the large volume of new non-fiction books, I have broken it down into two broad categories: Worldwide issues and Biographies; and Personal Improvement, Health and Crafts. Today I’ll name a few new titles from the first category. Next week I’ll write about the second category. No-Load Mutual Fund Guide by Donoghue and Tilling. Explains how to take advantage of the in­ vestment opportunities of the 80's. Creative Wealth by Robert Allen. Provides ideas on how to invest your money to make money.

Power and Principle by Zbigniew Brezyinski. The author outlines his part in the running of the National Security Council during Jimmy Carter’s administration.

J How It’s Done Every child wants to fly. Most adults know that you can’t do it without help. For some flights all you need is a few sticks and some strong fabric. For others you need a 747 and a crew of ten. • Grown people regularly recognize that they need help — the help of teachers, of fellow workers, of a church, of God. Without such help, our flights are short and our landings tragic. Buq Off PEST CONTROL, Inc.

With the big Halloween coming up next week, Pat and Judy Harrison have been busy harvesting their pumpkin crop. And now, ‘‘Let me tell you about our vacation...” Fritz and Alice Steiner, Tom and I, took off Oc­ tober 1st, headed west. We took mostly by-ways as opposed to highways and it was great. Family visiting included a night in Deerfield, Ill. with Steiners daughter and family, the Tim Estes, a week with Fritz’s brother and wife, Art and Ginny Steiner in Littleton, Colo., the wedding of our niece at Longmont, time spent with brother Frank and wife of Arizona at the home of their son Greg and family in Conifer, Colo., and our last night out with brother and wife, Corky and Jeanette Ruiter at Koontz Lake, Indiana. Sightseeing highlights were a stop at the Amana Colonies, a visit to Central City, Colo., and the Lin­ coln memorials in and near Springfield, Ill. We also spent a night on a mountaintop near Phipsburg, Colo, where Steiner’s nephew is building a log house. (Boy, does it get dark there at night - and quiet!) I suppose we are all pioneers in some way or another, but each time we travel I am in awe of those before us who traveled by wagon or on foot, not knowing particularly where they were going or how they were going to live when they got there. What tremendous resourcefulness and faith (In God and in themselves) they must have had. The aspens were golden in many parts of the mountains, and there was fall foliage in a few places along the way — but none better than we enjoy looking out our window or driving within five miles of home. / 2300 44th Street, S.E.

Jacqueline Cherry Village Clerk On Tuesday morning, Oct. 11, thirty-six seniors boarded the bus to travel to Marcellus to view the Newton House, Michigan’s Oldest Tree and the Aviation Museum. We arrived at 10 a.m. at the Newton House in Valinia Township, Cass County. This classic house is a beautiful example of Michigan’s Italianate architecture. Built in the 1860s, the woodwork throughout is of native black walnut and butternut, furnishings are of the American empire and Victorian periods. The guide, being an elderly man, directed us to follow the path in the woods to view the oldest and largest tree. We seniors walked a half mile, then came to three forks in the path, some taking each path for another half mile, but no large tree was seen. Back to the house, the old gent said that we had taken the wrong path, we had to first cross a footbridge in the opposite direction. We again boarded the bus towards Kalamazoo for our noon meal at the Sveden House. Our next stop was the Aviation Museum at Portage to view some of the planes that were used in the war.

MICHIGAN �Dramatic Game Except Panther's Winning TD One of Middleville’s more ardent football fans summed up the Trojans’ loss Friday night to Cornstock Park as “one of the finest high school football games I have ever seen.’’ It certainly had everything to keep the people in the stands glued to their seat cushions. It was a defensive struggle, it was a scoreless game until the very end, and it ended in a dramatic fashion. It wasn’t until there was about a minute to go that Comstock Park completed a 37-yard pass play for six points — the only points anybody got in the contest. The loss put the Trojans down to two league losses and put Comstock Park at 5-0 and just about eliminates Middleville from any hope of sharing the OK Blue title this year. Statistically, the Trojans were held to 70 yards compared to the Panthers 80 yards rushing. Mid­ dleville was 50 percent (12 of 24) in the passing department that netted 101 yards. Comstock Park passed for 38 yards, with that big 37 yarder making the big difference. Lester Caldwell led the Trojans with eight recep­ tions good for 63 yards. The Trojans had several op­ portunities to cross into TDland, but failed at least on four occasions. On the opening kickoff, the Trojans went to the 32 yard line of CP before they stalled. They were on the move in the second period, but a dropped pass stopped the action. In the third quarter. TK had an out-of-bounds pass called that nipped that scoring possibility. In the final frame, the Trojans moved the ball to within nine yards of paydirt, but failed to get it across. They were even unsuccessful with a field goal attempt. Comstock Park’s much heralded quarterback. Jack Houghton, after being contained much of the game by Middleville's stellar defense, rose to the oc­ casion with two minutes left and directed his team downfield. With 1:19 left, he found Gary Baringer in the endzone for the winning tally. A tough one to lose made even tougher when all of Middleville’s young athletes played with such in­ tensity. This week Byron Center comes to town for Homecoming. TK Junior Varsity, Freshmen Know Only How to Win I by Betty Smith The Trojan JV football team was victorious over Comstock Park last Thursday night as they con­ tinued to improve their record 6-0. Using an option play, quarterback Jerry Steele scored a touchdown on a 53 yard romp to lead the Trojans 6-0 in the first quarter. Leading the second quarter for the Trojans was Brad Barnard who capped a 43 yard drive with a 3 yard run for 6 more points. The second half ended 12-0. On the opening play of the second half, Barnard broke loose on a 56 yard trap play to tally another TD. Greg Newman then proceeded to score the final points for Middleville on a 45 yard run. The game ended with a score of 24-6. Middleville will play Byron Center, away, tonight. Good luck, team! Ray’s Page BY TK HEAD COACH RAY PAGE Friday night’s game was a tough one for us to lose. W’e felt we were well prepared and did all the things we wanted to do. Our defense was outstanding! They did a good job in containing Comstock Park's quarterback and keeping the pressure on him. We changed our defen­ se this week and did some different things that we felt accomplished our goals with one exception. Our offense did not play quite as well as we had hoped. We thought we should have scored a couple of times, but something always seemed to go wrong. In the sour grapes department; yes. we were in­ bounds on the pass Caldwell caught on their 15 yard line on the 4th down play, and yes. after a look at the film the opposing end who caught the pass was off side on their touchdown play. This week, however, cannot be played on what happened last week. We must get busy for Byron Center. It’s Homecoming and we hope to get up and ready for another one on the victory side.

Girls Complete Fine Year With Regional Tennis Matches The Trojan tennis team ended a fine season last Friday at the Grand Rapids regionals. The team finished fourth behind Calvin Christian, Forest Hills Northern and South Christian. While the weather was bad, the Trojan draw was worse. Two singles players drew the No. 1 seeds in the first round, while a third drew the No. 2 seed. Our fourth singles player had a good first round draw, then played the No. 2 seeded player. Doubles teams also had rough draws, but all three Trojan doubles teams “upset" seeded teams from other schools.

Of the eight doubles matches played, the Trojans were involved in five three-set matches. San di Wieringa and Sara Schondelmayer started off with an easy 6-0, 6-3 win over Hamilton. In the second round Sandi and Sara faced what coaches had considered the best doubles team in the region. CHS Golfers Place 4th in Regionals �CHS CROSS COUNTRY Fighting Scofs Qn Shorf En<J , J '.

The United Methodist Churches of Alto, Bowne Center and Freeport combined their talents and congregations on August 13-14 to create a marketplace much as it would have looked during Jesus’ early ministry, complete with a well, tents and animals. Shops within the marketplace were ac­ tual learning centers where children dressed in togas participated in weaving, brickmaking, pottery and carpentry. They also made musical instruments, rope belts and sandals typical of the time. A scribe set up shop to demonstrate his art and the can­ dymaker with her sweets was a popular stop for the children.

As the children ate their lunch which consisted of biscuits they made as well as honey, cheese and fruits, the despised tax collector made his rounds. After lunch the children were enthralled by the storyteller and participated in song and dance with the song lady by the well. A dramatization of the feeding of the 5000 was presented by a band of traveling performers and was enjoyed by all. On Sunday the 35 tribal members returned with their parents and families to explore the market­ place shops and then went to the “synagogue” for the Grand Finale celebration. Bibletime foods, song and dance concluded the day’s festivities. All those participating felt richer for the experien­ ce and expressed a hope to enjoy the same program again in the future. The coordinators of the event were Pat Thomet and Norma Peterson for Alto UMC, Judi Dean and Terri Yoder from Freeport UMC, Mary Willyard and Christina Gibson from the Bowne Center church. Marketplace 29 A.D. was developed by Betty Goetz and Ruth Bomberger of the Stevensville United Methodist Church and is available for churches of any denomination. Children and adults came away from Marketplace with a much deeper appreciation and understanding of their Christian heritage. CLAY HILLS With WRET HAMcNEE Last week s news is late.

Timm and Mr. Art Matthews enjoyed a drive up around Newaygo and the Hess Lake area one day last week. On the way back they stopped at a Lookout Park and Mrs. Timm reports that it was beautiful there. John and Carolyn Steensma and family enter­ tained Carolyn’s folks, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Robertson Sr. and her brother Jim Robertson Jr. and family for dinner to celebrate her dad’s birthday. Bruce, Katie, Janine and I enjoyed having a taco supper with Sandy and DJ Zylstra and Mitch Tolan Saturday evening. Our Sunday callers were my sister and niece, Sharon and Shelly Bromley of Hastings. Sunday dinner guests of Paul and Colleen Swelnis were Colleen’s mother and sisters, Mrs. Fern Doyle, Sandra Holmes and Lorraine, Don, Scott and Kim Thome to celebrate Shelly’s 12th birthday. Their Saturday evening guests were Paul's folks, George and Virginia Swelnis for Shelly’s birthday. Here’s another example of that old saying “It’s a small world.’’ My folks, Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Briston from Hasings, recently took a trip to Steuben, which is in the Upper Peninsula between Manistique and Munising to visit friends. While they were there, they were introduced to a couple by the name of Dale and Glada King, who used to be residents of the Freeport-Middleville area and they get the Sun and News up there. So this is a special "Hello” to Mr. and Mrs. King and all of the other former residents who still stay in touch with old friends and neighbors through The Sun and News. WEST SIDE by Norma Velderman This is one of those no-news weeks. Called so many, about a third weren’t home, others had no news. Regina Stein said in three weeks they are getting a new Golden Lab puppy. They’ve named her Belle. Wednesday night is Fathers Night at Thornapple Preschool. Their offspring are looking forward to that. Regina’s brother, Leo La Porte visited this weekend. Luana Tolan said she and Norma Weller had lunch together Wednesday in Wayland and had a nice visit. Then Sunday the Lynn Tolan family went on a color tour with the Street Rod Group. Left East­ brook, toured Thomapple Covered bridge, on to Fallasburg, Ada and Wabasis Lake. She said it was such a beautiful area now. Had a good visit with Bobbie Smith, haven’t had a chance to see and visit with her in ages. Daughter Amy visited her friend Lisa Finkbeiner at Western for the week end, then went to the Lions football game a week ago. Dick Smith will have the screws removed from his ankle, from the break last hunting season. But has to wait until things open up and get arranged to have it done. Bobbie was telling me the wonderful month off they had this summer when they went to see the boys in Florida and on the home went on a raft white water trip. Got really soaked but had a BLOUSE super time. Bobbie also gave me some more names to add to my railing list. So pleas, if I haven’t called you, call me ahd give me your name for the list. I want about a list of 200 people. Have only 160 so far. And if someone doesn’t give me your name and number — I know so few people in town — I never know you are there. Neva Aicken said her cousin Mille, on her mom’s side, came down for Sunday dinner. They were delighted to see her because it's been a good three years. Had a nice visit with Mrs. Milo Shaw. She likes working outdoors as I do. Says she’s coming along pretty well. The people out at the Kent Extended Car Facility have seemed like family. They were together for such a long time. The people who work there really work hard at making a care place and she feels they do an excellent job. One man lived to be 100 - and they made him a cake with one candle for his birthday. They try to do this with all the patients. Mrs. Holtsberry and her husband took their boat on the Grand River for a color tour. They put it in at Riverside Park and then went upriver a ways. I think that would be a lot of fun seeing the colors from the river. Places would all look different. The conservation .officer they talked with said the river was low. Mr. and Mrs. Cox went to visit a cousin in Osteopathic Hospital. Joe Hula had his left leg operated on Friday and is getting around on crutches. I thought he said he would be on them for three weeks. Caroline Schondelmayer said Tracy cut her finer on a can top and had to spend Saturday afternoon getting it stitched up, it was her right hand, too. Donovan Dean was honored at an award dinner for working 30 years for Lears. He was awarded a clock. Saturday Dorothy Dean had a baby shower for Robin Schleh who came from Dearborn to at­ tend. The men attended the little football game, then all got together afterward for a smorgasbord. House was bursting at the seams, but a real nice time. The Featherlys got together at Ken and Terry TenHopen’s Sunday to plan Thanksgiving. Mrs. Featherly said it used to be her old home and it seemed good to be there. Sunday the Richard Hamiltons went to Charlotte to visit Elsie Hamilton, Dick’s mom. Bill and Neva Kenyon went to Brighton for the week end to visit her sister. Lon Lefanty was honored a few weeks back with a trip to New Orelans at a special banquet for his sales. Now they’ve bought Pastor Chuck Doombos’ home at Gun Lake. Pastor Chuck was called on preach in Hudson. Florida in mid-November, so LeFantys are trying to sell their home on Manor Drive. lyla Norton went to Kalamazoo to celebrate her birthday and her daughter Arvis’s birthday, which are the same. They all went out to dinner, including grandchildren Michelle. Arvid and Michael. lyla also attended Michael’s recital at Standar - elec­ tronic piano and organ. lyla said the United Methodist Church was full Sunday when the new minister, Rev. Carl Staser, preached Sunday. Mrs. Parker said there will be a car wash at the Mutual Home lot in Middleville Saturday for Jerry Snyder, who had heart surgery at Stanford U. in California. He will need $100,000, so St. Mark's Lutheran, and The Royal Ins. Co. where he worked and Mutual Home are declaring Saturday Jerry Snyder Day to help towards that large sum. Jerry is only 30 and his two children are with his parents in Detroit. Mr. and Mrs. Glen and Barbara Kett came Mon­ day from Livonia to take her aunt. Doris Brog, out to lunch at the Rockford Mill. She said the color was spectacular. I had such a hard time getting anyone and no one had news, so I just quit. Sorry if I missed you. Call me if you have any news, then I don’t get so discouraged. I goofed again. Rodney and Charlotte Finkbeiner are Rodney, not Ron. Sorry folks. Please correct me when you see I goof. I can’t change it unless someone tells me.

When Doug Sherman, one of the Middleville-Thomapple Township firemen, who is also an EMT ambulance driver, told his neighbor that the department needed some backboards, the neighbor went to work. Bob Owen, 441 Holes Ave., is shown above with his handiwork. The four backboards ... which cost over $100 each if commercially purchased... were made by Bob at a quarter of that cost. Donating his labor, he made the boards over a couple of weekends with Doug doing the finishing job. Sherman explained that frequently the am­ bulance service has to leave a patient on the board when he is transported to the hospital. “This way we will have some spares if we need them, ” said Sherman. Bob also engraved “Thomapple Twp." into each board so they won't be “borrowed" by some other department. Bob comes with working with wood naturally; he is a craftsman for Randall Furniture in Grand Rapids. The TK Boosters are sponsoring a “Bury The Hatchet” soup supper on October 28 from 5:00 until 7:00 p.m. at the high school cafeteria. Come early and be out in plenty of time for the last game with Hudsonville. Our menu consists of chili, along with four dif­ ferent kinds of soups to be served with Barbeques, and cake or pie. Our specialty will be eagle noodle soup. The cost is $3.00 for adults and $2.00 fur children. As you may already know, Hudsonville and Mid­ dleville teams have been true rivals for many years. They are leaving the OK Blue league this year after this game, and as a farewell to them, we have in­ vited them to join us for supper and help bury the hatchet. All in fun - of course. We have made many friendships over the years that will last a lot longer than any football game will. We also wish them lots of luck in their new league. Honor Caledonia’s Jaycees The Caledonia Area Jaycees were honored at the Blue Chip/Gold Chip Dinner in Martin recently by Region 9 of the Michigan Jaycees. For the second quarter in a row Caledonia was selected the most outstanding chapter in District 9C. and their president, Zoltan Berencsi, the most outstanding chapter president. Caledonia is currently the number one chapter in the state in their population division, and number nine over-all. Success of the chapter is due to a lot of hard work by a lot of new members.

Weeklong activities at TKHS by the four classes saw the Junior class winning the most points. The evening was capped by the traditional Homecoming Dance. ptwuwpw �HALLOWEEN! WOMAN'S WHIRL WITH JOANNE BOYSEN Since the middle of September. Don and I have been “settling in” at our temporary home and Gun Lake, and learning that we can live quite comfor­ tably without most of the possessions we’ve spent nearly thirty years accumulating. We feel fortunate in having Muri and Frances Streeter rent us their home while they prepare to spend a few months in a warmer location. It’s beautiful at the lake, quiet and peaceful. We have to keep reminding ourselves that we are not on vacation, that we are “home” until our new house is built. Our building project is currently “on hold” while our guiding hand and general troubleshooter, son Mike, is spending part of this semester in France, along with several other students and an instructor from Jordan Energy Institute. They are enlarging their education in the alternative energy field with the help of some French architects and builders who are much farther advanced in this high technology field than we here in the United States are. Not only are Mike and his fellow students getting the benefit of the technical information, but they're having a great time, too, which certainly won't be a .surprise to all of you who know Mike. Other than an 8 second telephone call (Don says that has to set some sort of brevity record for me) to tell us that he was well and everything was fine, we hadn't heard from him from the time he left Grand Rapids October 8 until this week, when cards and letters have begun to arrive. The plane landed in Brussels, they took a train to Paris and settled in Sunday. Monday morning he says “We then awoke to all the magic and splendor and “immenseness” of Paris. I was awed. I still am. We spent all day Mon­ day walking all over the city, the Notre Dame Cathedral, up in the Eifel Tower and then settled in­ to a quiet corner cafe within view of the Arc de Triomph, drank some beer and met some really fun people.” Later he tells of taking the train to Reims, where they were met and driven to a village called Muizon. He sayd, “I think I like it better than Paris. Muizon is about the size of Freeport, right in the middle of champagne country. Yesterday was probably the best day yet. The school arranged to lease a Mer­ cedes Benz tour bus (talk about luxurious!) that took us all over the countryside (mostly in the Mar­ ne Valley). We went from village to village with some of the best solar architects in the area. The sky was blue, a few cirrhus clouds and about 70° - what a day! - small winding roads through hills, valleys and small villages. The country is very friendly and the people open and very nice. In one small village we were taking a break at lunchtime and a group of workers were celebrating the grape harvest, noticed us, and invited us to their little party. We ate, drank champagne (bottled right in the valley), danced and laughed. It was amazing because we spoke very lit­ tle - (They knew no English, we, little French) yet had such a fun time. It turns out the language barrier is not much of a problem as it’s great fun to try and communicate with our French friends.” When the chance to go on this trip came up, Mike hesitated because the time conflicted with our building plans, but I think all of us are glad we decided to delay our construction so he could take advantage of such a rare opportunity to “get a little learning” and satisfy that urge to see as much of the world as possible. His 25th birthday is October 30. Won’t Paris be a great place to spend it?! This weekend also brings many Halloween parties and celebrations. Please do keep a watchful eye out for all the little ghosts and goblins whose costumes and masks, plus the excitement of the occasion, sometimes make it difficult for them to watch traf­ fic. Halloween Parade Caledonia Party The annual invasion of Middleville is about to begin. In addition to the inevitable military “per­ sonnel”, there will undoubtedly be a variety of prin­ cesses, monsters and clowns. The second annual Halloween Parade will begin at the Middle School at 1:00 p.m. next Monday and will march, roll, creak, stomp, hobble and skate down the hill through town, and up to the park. This colorful lineup includes the Middle school bands, a high wheeler, the NAPA car, and horses and wagon (in addition to the full assortment of ghosts and goblins), and is the TK Elementary students’ “Treat” for the citizens of Middleville. The Caledonia Area Jaycees would like to invite the children of Caledonia, age 12 and under, to a Halloween party. The party will be Halloween night, Monday, October 31st, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Caledonia Junior High School gym. Cider and doughnuts will be served, and kids games will be going on. There will be a costume judging at 7 p.m. with prizes to the winners. Come have a good time with your friends in Caledonia on Halloween night. House of Terror9 Middleville’s West Elementary is opening a “House of Terror” this coming Saturday, October 29, from 7 - 9 p.m. Admission is 25t, plus a lot of courage. For the younger children, or the fant of heart, there will be games and a magician in the gym. For the stout­ hearted, you will walk through the school enjoying the “Mad Doctor”, the “Spooky Tunnel”, the “Werewolf”, the “Coffined Dracula” and much more. Prizes will be given for the best costumes, so don your Halloween finest, and remember that anyone is welcome. Hastings Halloween Carnival The Great Lakes Motor Cycle Association in­ vites kids through sixth grade to a Halloween Car­ nival on Saturday, October 29, from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Northeastern School All Purpose room, Hastings. Tickets are available at the door for the many fun events inside, and all proceeds will be donated to the Barry County Child Abuse funds. HALLOWEEN SAFETY Vision Safety Tips from Dr. Choryan • No mask or cloth should cover the face as they are likely to obscure vision. Use non-allergic make-up instead of a mask! • Be sure that wigs and hats are worn well off the face and securely fastened so that they will not slip over your eyes! • Decorate your costume, preferably light in color, with reflective tape so the costume will “glow” when a car’s headlights shine on it! • Your treat bag can also be decorated with reflectorized tape! • Carry a flashlight! * Homeowners should keep their porches weil lighted. INC Halloween Story Time The Kent County Library is pleased to announce that it is once again offering "Hooray For Halloween,” a special holiday story time for youngsters 3-6. Lighthearted children's stories about ghosts, pumpkins, witches and other spooky’ things will be brought to life by the children's librarians at 16 branches of the county library system. "Hooray for Halloween" will be at the Caledonia Library, 240 Emmons, at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 27 (today). Halloween can be as important as Christmas and birthdays for little ones, according to coordinator of children's services, Mary Frydrych. "Our special library program plays down the scarey aspects of the event and emphasizes the fun and excitement of this traditional holiday.” Libraries will have displays of Halloween story books available to be checked out and all children attending the program will receive a paper pumpkin puppet to assemble at home. obituaries LYDIA M.

WE STOCK MOST TIRES - 24 HOUR WRECKER SERVICE CENTRAL GARAGE Located on Middleville a Mein Strom Since 1931 ART, BOB B BILL KENYON PH. 79S-3369 �4 Ti»fcaaudN«wKMfaidteTai«,MteidVa^^ "IN TOUCH' WITH BOB BENDER STATE REPRESENTATIVE • 88TH HOUSE DISTRICT Seat Belta: ’Round and ’Round we go! In my last column a couple of weeks ago, I put my foot in my mouth once again, 'tnd suggested that I would devote this column to the seat belt issue — anticipating that by this time a vote would have been taken and the issue resolved. Wrong!!’ After being scheduled on the house calendar every day for about two weeks, we are no closer to a vote than we were a month ago. In fact, we may be fur­ ther away from it as result of a series of amendmen­ ts which have been added to the original bill. Amen­ dments have been added that would provide for a 3 year sunset provision to allow anyone to exempt themselves from the provisions of the statute, to allow motorcyclists to exempt themselves from the provisions of the helmet law and a number of other amendments which would phase in the enforcement of the statute and delay the imposition of fines. With the inclusion of the sunset and personal exem­ ption provisions, I was prepared to support the bill, but now the whole thing may well end up back in committee for some ‘cleaning up’ or perhaps even to die a natural death there. Stay tuned for the con­ tinuing saga of the seat belts!! The Strategic Fund - a step in the right direction Earlier this week the House of Representatives approved the creation of the Michigan Strategic In­ vestment Fund, but even those of us who supported the bill believe that no one should expect the fund to Michigan's problems, as Governor Blanchard would lead us to believe. The Strategic Fund was designed to promote long term economic growth and aid in diversifying Michigan’s economy and create jobs. It will replace the Job Development Authority (JDA) and the Michigan Economic Development Authority (MEDA) and will be given authority to issue bonds. While I am a strong supporter of state gover­ nment initiatives to aid economic development, those of us who supported the fund acknowledge that this is merely cosmetic legislation and will har­ dly solve all our economic ills. It simply reclassifies existing programs into a single agency. The bill now returns to the senate to resolve the differences between their version and the House version. That debate will center primarily around the prevailing wage provisions — regulations that require higher wages for workers involved in the projects based on regional averages of union scale wages. My favorable vote on the bill reflects my hope that a new version will emerge from a house and senate compromise that will modify the prevailing wage provisions, giving the strategic fund a better chance of achieving its goals of economic develop­ ment. p.s. Seat Belts - not dead yet! After this was writ­ ten, the issue regarding seat belts was brought up and rescheduled for December 6,1983.

Michigan TRRails Alliance Seeks Support for Michigan Trail System To whom it may concern; We, the Double D Trail Riders, have been contac­ ted by Judy Glass of the “Statewide Organizations Committee” in Lansing, asking us to contact groups and organizations in our area about “Michigan TRRails Alliance. Michigan TRRails Alliance was formed by mem­ bers of the Michigan Horse Council and the League of Michigan Bicyclists on June 11, 1983, and has since been joined by other individuals and organizations. The goal of the Alliance is to promote abandoned railroads for use as trails for bicycling, hiking, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, cross country track groups, horseback riding, etc. As you can see. it would benefit all sorts of groups and ac­ tivities. The railroad bed in this area of Caledonia and Middleville, south, would join up with that of the Jackson to Lakeland abandoned railroad right-ofway, now known as the proposed “Lakeland Trail.” This railroad bed is owned by the Michigan Department of Transportation. The original plans called for the completion of the “Lakelands Trail” by the end of 1979. It would link three state recreation areas. For some unknown reason, the Department of Transportation suddenly stopped progress on this trail sometime in 1978. The rails have been taken up but no improvements have been made. There was a favorable environmental impact assessment in 1978 and an agreement was made between the DCT and the Department of Natural Resources for construction and maintenance. Funds were 50% gas tax non-motorized monies and 50% Federal Land and Water conservation fund monies. It now appears that neither DCT nor the DNR is supportive of the trail. It is felt that the trail is a very important and necessary first step to a cross-Michigan trail that would begin on the shore of Lake Michigan at South Haven and end on the shore of Lake St. Clair. It will run through southern lower Michigan, where the population is heaviest and where a trail of this type is necessary for safe and pleasant travel. Those of us who are not recreationist will ob­ viously benefit from this trail in the form of simple enjoyment. It is not a purely self-seeking project. Trails of this type in other states have proven to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars to local businesses and cities along the trail as well as to and from the trail. Many jobs have been saved and more created. The cost of purchase and development of the trail is unbelievably low, compared to what it would be if we were to construct a similar trail across un­ developed private or state lands. The right-of-way is there, the surface is good, and the bridges have been built. We would be denying future generations of an irreplaceable resource if we were to lose this oppor­ tunity. We can’t think of a lot wrong with this idea, un­ fortunately, a couple of influential individuals have selfishly halted progress on the Lakeland Trail, which affects our area also. The DOT says there aren’t enough people interested in supporting the trail. The DNR says it’s no longer a priority. We need to change their minds. Judy Glass in Lansing needs our help. How? 1. Send a letter of support for this trail from you or your organization to: Michigan TRRails Alliance, P.O. Box 12074, Lansing, MI 48901. 2. We need people willing to attend meetings in support of this trail. Judy Glass would like to have a meeting at the Thomapple Kellogg School in Mid­ dleville next month. Date and time will be set soon. Please contact us if you would be willing to give your support for this trail, and attend the upcoming meeting. Contact Jean Ford, President.

Earlier someone had asked me what had happened to our little son who, when he was about 2 or 3, helped me get ready for an extension meeting by dipping, up and down in the toilet bowl, the only good dress I had at that time (I was either just pregnant, or full swing into it, or just getting over a pregnancy) so that I had to come up with something to wear. So in the middle of winter, I had to wear a cotton sun dress with a sweater. Then Pat Schondelmayer asked if it wouldn’t be nice for each week to review a family we all knew and we’ve lost track of. All of us have been involved with all our children’s school years, so the families of the community were like our own families. You wonder where this one is, what they are doing, are they happy, how many children and all these things. So would you be interested to now and then have a little interview with the parents on what’s hap­ pening with a family and all about then? Every so often my offspring ask me what has happened with this or that one, what they’re doing, married? children? moved away, etc. I’d love to do it, so I can find out for my own in­ terest. If so, and if editor Don Boysen says Okay, then we’ll start every so often "Down Memory Lane • with a Family of the Week." I’ll visit with the pyents and get all the facts, along with warm, friendly verbal hugs, about the families you suggest. Nosy? In a way, but really a nice family in­ terest in everyone. EDITOR'S NOTE: Sounds like a great idea, Norma! We'll all be looking forward to your 'first family.' by Betty Smith The Middleville JV football team gave up their first game to Byron Center last Thursday night 2814. Quarterback Jerry Steele scored on a 1 yard run during the Trojans first possession. Adding the two point conversion was Brad Barnard, who did the bulk of the running. Steele once again scored a touchdown for Middleville with another 1 yard run. From that point on, Byron Center dominated the scoring of the game. The score was tied 14-14 at the half. When the third quarter proved to be scoreless, Byron Center came back to score 14 more points to defeat the Trojans. The JVs, now 6-1, will play undefeated Hudson­ ville, at Hudsonville, Thursday night (tonight).

Bulldogs, 37-6 Two weeks ago it was a defensive struggle for the Trojans and they came within a whisker of con­ taining league-leading Comstock Park, losing in the final seconds of the gajne. Last Friday night the offensive punch of the Mid­ dleville Men got on track and they pasted a 37-6 loss on hapless Byron Center. It was a scoring feast with Scott Kaminski feeding at the touchdown table three times to lead the Trojans to victory. Kaminski had an impressive 104 yards for the night, scoring on bursts of two, four and seven yar­ ds. In all, he carried 22 times in a fine performance. The defense didn’t exactly lay down on the job either They held the Bulldogs to just 23 yards on the ground and 88 through the air. Ed Pawloski, Paul Ordway and Tony Plants, according to head coach Ray Page, led the defensive containment of B.C. Middleville had 226 yards rushing and Tim Hef­ fner passed for 78 yards, hitting 6 out of 16. Middleville’s quick quarterback completed a 32 yarder to put the Trojans on board in the first quar­ ter. Scott Duflo scored and Kaminski ran for two to make it 8-0 A few minutes later the Orange and Black from Byron connected for a long pass and then punched it in for six points. Their PAT failed and it was 8-6. Then Middleville went to work and Byron Center went home. Kaminski scored two TDs before the half and Steve Rosenberg ran for the first two point conver­ sion and Heffner passed to Caldwell for the other 2 point PAT. As the Homecoming activities began at halftime, Middleville had a commanding 24-6 lead. Kaminski tallied for his third TD of the night af­ ter play resumed in the third period. Middleville’s scoring was completed in the final quarter when Darrel Smelker scooted over with a 20 yard run. The win put the Trojans at 4-3 overall this year, 42 in the OK Blue. This Friday night the Hudsonville Eagles fly into Trojanland for the final meeting between these two teams as members of the same conference. SCOTT KAMINSKI, the Trojan’s fleet running beck, carried the ball for 104 yard* and three touchdowns in Friday night’s whitewash of Byron Canter. TK Hosts C.C.

Our running attack picked up over 200 yar­ ds for the first time this season. Scott Kaminski, by gaining 104 yards, was the first of our running backs to go over the 100 yard mark. A lot of the credit for this has to go to the offensive line. They have improved as the season has progressed. We hope they can continue for two more games. Our defense had a good game again this week. They really only had one bad play and that was the long pass that set up Byron Center’s touchdown. They will really have their work cut out for them this week against Hudsonville. Their halfback, John Vandewal, is the lead rusher in the league and last year he scoured four tips against us. Hudsonville, our opponent this week, got off to a slow start, but have won two of their last three games, losing only to Comstock Park in a close game this week. We haven’t beat Hudsonville in the last two years. Should be a good one! It will be Parents’ Night and Band Night.

On a cold, wintry-like fall day on October 14, Middleville shot a respectable 370 team score. Rolfe Timmerman’s 83 led Mid­ dleville. The 83 was good for third place in the tour­ ney and only one shot from being the best score shot all day. Jim Will had a 93, Tim VanPolen a 95 and Todd Courts a 95 to complete the Middleville scoring. There were seventeen teams in the regional which was won by Forest Hills Northern with a 334 team score. Central Montcalm at 341 and South Christian at 343 also qualified for the State Finals to be held at the Portland Country Club. Middleville completed a successful season at 10-71 and 9-4-1 in the Conference.

The outstanding highlight of the year was Rolfe Timmerman’s breaking of the school match average record. Rolfe s average in all matches and tournaments was 39.09, eclipsing the former mark of 39.67 set by Craig Funk in 1978. Rolfe returns next year to lead the Trojans. The golf team, athletic department, and Bernie Weller, the golf coach, would like to thank Frank Tichvon and Evan Seifert of the Yankee Springs Golf Course for their cooperation in making this and every season an enjoyable and successful one.

A pretty good barometer of such activity is the State Board of Canvassers, which recently approved the legal form of seven initiative petitions. Although board approval is not required at this stage, most organizers prefer knowing their petitions are up to snuff before garnering the thousands of needed signatures. Here is a brief look at the citizen initiatives which have passed the scrutiny of the state board. By far the most publicized petition drive has been the proposed tax-cutting constitutional amendment sponsored by Voters Choice. The anti-tax coalition began circulating petitions last April in the wake of Governor James Blanchard's 38 percent income tax hike. The amendment would roll back taxes to 1981 levels and require the public to approve any in­ creases. Also given clearance were petitions to: place a 5 percent ceiling on the state income tax rate, curren­ tly at 6.35 percent; limit governors to two terms; establish a Legislative Apportionment Commission of seven Court of Appeals judges to draw up legislative districts, rather than the Legislature; require Supreme Court justices to be nominated through non-partisan primaries; amend the State Constitution to create a part-time Legislature; and change the Constitution to require utility companies to fully explain the need for a new power plant before a strutting it. State sections officials are not sure how many dif­ ferent petitions are floating around or in the plan­ ning stages. It’s still rather early, and the deadlines for turning in signed forms are several months away. But it does appear that organizers are getting an earlier start compared to this time two years ago. The board had then certified fewer forms, although 18 issues eventually vied for placement on the '82 ballot. Only five made it. How many proposals will earn a place on next fall’s crowded slate remains to be seen. Citizeninitiated lawmaking is likely to continue its upturn as more politically-motivated groups choose to bypass the Legislature and take their requests directly to Michigan voters. Will the clear choice in '84 be the “Voters Choice?" That’s what organizers of the tax cutting and limiting proposal called Voter’s Choice are hoping for They have been circulating petitions since early BETTY'S To the energetic belong the energy savings!

East of Whitneyvilla April to acquire the necessary 304,000 signatures to place their constitutional amendment question before Michigan’s electorate next fall. If passed, the proposition would pare back state and local taxes to December 31, 1981 rates and prohibit any subsequent hikes without prior voter approval. It would also impose a ceiling of one half of one percent on municipal income taxes paid by non-residents. The proposal has been carefully worded by a coalition of 26 anti-tax groups. The authors have made the language wasy to understand, yet precise and thorough enough to keep local governing bodies and the State Legislature from circumventing it. To prevent the likelihood of a tax being called a “fee," the amendment also mandates a four-fifths affirmative vote of the legislative body or voter ap­ proval to increase or add a new fee, license, user fee or permit. This requirement would also be effective as of December 31,1981. The Voters Choice petition drive erupted last spring after the Democratic-controlled Legislature passed Governor Blanchard's requested 38 percent income tax boost. It would effectively return the rate to 4.6 percent as well as repeal increases in gasoline and cigarette taxes adopted over the past two years. Governments, however, would not have to refund taxes already collected. Although backers have until July 9 to gather signatures, they already claim to be very close to that figure and say they will go for an additional 100,000 as a precautionary measure against any in­ valid signatures. Given the impressive statewide support shown so far, there is little question that Voter’s Choice will earn a spot on the ’84 ballot. The debate will be heated. But whether it succeeds or not, the message should be clear: taxpayers in this state are tired of losing more and more of their income to taxes.

Middleville, Michigan October 27.1983 STATE CAPITOL REPORT FROM PAUL HILLEGONDS STATE REPRESENTA TIVE 54th DISTRICT school administrators' conference, one participant urged me to stay away from financing proposals that will rob Peter to pay Paul. Unfortunately that is not possible. Any plan to change the status quo will result in winners and losers. Jiut as the inequities in school finances continue to grow. I believe that maintaining the status quo is even more undesirable. Are we walling to pay for higher and more just educational standards? The only way to find out is to begin the long, painful process of debate, negotiation and compromise. Happy Sixties Club THOSE WISHING TO CONTACT REP HILLEGONDS, CALL AC 517 373-0836 ADDRESS LETTERS TO HIM AT STATE CAPITOL BLDG., LANSING, MICH 48909 I 'll say it again. Quality in education cannot just be measured in dollars. Parental interest at home, teacher and student dedication in the classroom, strong leadership in administrative offices and citizen participation in school elections and board meetings are beyond purchase. But dollars also make a difference. Growing public interest in ideas such as competency testing, a longer school year, tougher curriculum standards and incentive pay for teachers will cost more money. Are we willing to pay? In part that answer rests with a school district’s ability to inspire public con­ fidence in its existing program. People will not pay more tomorrow if they don’t feel they are getting their money’s worth today. The answer may also depend on state government efforts to find a more satisfactory means of finan­ cing education. Last week I suggested two sources of growing public frustration with the current system: the increasing reliance on the local property tax to pay for local schools, and the growing gap between rich and poor districts as the state shre of direct educational aid declines. It’s not that our state hasn’t tried to develop a better system. Over the past decade several proposed constitutional amendments have been placed on the ballot to reduce local property taxes and raise state taxes in order to fund education. All of the amendments have gone down to resounding defeat. I do not believe that’s because taxpayers like what we have. Instead I have sensed a lack of trust in Lansing. If the legislature has been unwilling to give our schools a higher state spending priority with existing dollars, can we depend on lawmakers to allocate higher state taxes for that purpose? After a decade of neglect, this message has finally started to take hold at the State Capitol. Little legislative time is being spent dreaming up new ballot proposals. More energy is being expended to squeeze dollars out of other state programs so that schools will receive a greater share of the budget dollar. That solution has its limitations however. High unemployment and the resulting social services and mental health costs, as well as the health care cost crisis, will make it difficult to give public education the percentage of the state budget it once enjoyed. New and controversial means of raising additional state revenue to fund the general school aid formula will have to be explored. Possible approaches in­ clude: —Tightening the existing $6.7 billion in annual tax breaks built into state tax laws, including a closer look at property tax exemptions and credits for businesses and homeowners, coupled with the earmarking of added revenue for school aid. —The statewide or regional sharing of power plant and commercial property tax payments made by enterprises that are supported by citizens throughout a region or the state, but whose proper­ ty tax payments today benefit only those school districts in which they are located. —Maintaining the higher income tax rate enacted earlier this year, contingent upon public approval of a constitutional amendment that would assure a certain percentage of the income tax for educational support. Recently when I suggested these proposals at a Monday, October 3. 40 senior citizens came to St. Paul Lutheran Church where the Happy 60s club met for their potluck dinner and Halloween Trick or Treat program. Tables were decorated to carry out the Halloween theme. Rev. and Mrs. E. A. Schomberg were our guests with Rev. Schomberg giving the invocation. They also had their two grandchildren with them, which made them our ‘wee senior citizens.' Also, two guests from Grand Rapids came to enjoy the day with us. Following dinner, the program began with a reading saluting Halloween by Hazel McCaul, then one by Blanche Snyder. Following this, everyone was asked to tell about some interesting thing they experienced on a Halloween in their life. All were in­ teresting and so deserved their treats of nut cups of candy com. The closing reading and prayer, ‘‘The Bounteous October” was given by president Lillian Schultz, bringing the glory of autumn into our souls, the peace of God to our hearts for the blessings this season imparts. Our hearts are filled with thankfulness, our heads bowed low in prayer, for once again the harvest yields enough, and some to share. O, bless with care so tender, the bear, the deer, the wild things all. Give shelter through the winter. After the closing, refreshments of cider and doughnuts were served. Our November potluck Thanksgiving dinner will be on the 7th at the Caledonia Christian Reformed Church. Remember folks, you are always welcome to spend the day with us and enjoy visiting with your friends, listening to our programs. We aim to please with our programs.

The colors have been glorious; I can’t remember when they’ve been prettier. And, from the piles and mounts of fallen leaves, I think there must have been a bumper crop of them this year. Chris and I went for a walk in the park Sunday afternoon and the squirrels were having a field day running through the drifts of leaves and scolding us for invading their domain. I’m sure I could never be completely happy living in a climate where there are no real changes of season. (Remember I said that this winter when the snow flies and the wind blows I) Last Saturday was one of those “picture perfect’’ days, luckily for all of us who took advantage of Hope College’s Parents’ weekend to spend time with our young people. We spent Saturday with Marty, went to the football game and toured a new building addition containing the quarters and equipment for the college radio station. The electronics field ab­ solutely boggles my mind. We’ve come a long way from the old phonographs that we had in school. We thought it was pretty neat to have a machine that had 3 speeds! One thing that impressed Don and me was how nice the students look. I’m so glad to see the guys* short haircuts and the girls actually styling their hair instead of just letting it hang. They’re dressed so much more neatly now, too, than a few years back. There was a time when the students seemed to compete to see how disreputable they could look. I like to be able to tell at a glance which are guys and which are girls! Saturday evening we attended a competition bet­ ween the freshman and sophomore girls at Hope. They competed in song, oratory and drama. Shades of 50 years ago! It was neat to see that those old art forms are still being preserved. The girls in the choruses had been very carefully schooled to main­ tain decorum and appearance. They were all dressed in navy blue skirts and blazers with white collars and gloves. Part of the challenge was to be able to sit and smile prettily throughout the entire program - despite all efforts to distract them or break their composure. I couldn't help thinking that this must surely be a lost art, but it was an interesting program. Now that Don and I are alone again, I’m finding it very difficult to shift my mental gears and cook for just two people. I still enjoy getting big meals and do often have family and/or friends to share a meal. Our long time friends, Joan and Stan Kitch are in the same position. (Their youngest child, Dorothy, is now a student at MSU). So the four of us manage to get together more often than we used to. Joan is a super cook and made this spinach dip the last time we spent a weekend at their cottage on the Muskegon River. It’s really good - a little fussy to make, getting the spinach squeezed dry, but with the holidays fast approaching you might want to make it for one of your special occasions. SPINACH DIP Mix well and chill. Serve with assorted crackers or chips. Publication No USPS 347850 124 E.

We were able to raise $382.00 profit because of all the people who donated soup or barbeque, cakes and pies. A special thanks to Mrs. Timmerman and her Middle School Home Economics class for their donation of 16 cakes. Thank yous also go out to all the cheerleaders. Without your help it would not have gone so smoothly in the cafeteria. Last, thanks to all of my workers who helped set up, serve and clean up. You were great!

MIDDLEVILLE NEWS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 dinner to the Circle Inn Saturday night to celebrate Max and Jackie’s 36th wedding anniversary. How many of you were able to watch the Halloween parade on Monday. It’s such fun to wa tch the kids and see all of the great costumes. Sorry to hear that Barb Stauffer was back in the hospital from October 17-22. WEST SIDE by Norma Velderman Greetings everyone on this Halloween night. Some of you were trick or treated to death — 300 to 350 — some just a few and others in between. I was so disgusted with myself - I missed the Halloween school parade and I meant to see it. The Doug Hart family went over to Portland Sunday to celebrate all the family’s October birth­ days. Liz Hart, grandmother Spitzley 92 years, daughter Kathy 8, and Liz’s dad’s birthday - so they had the get together on his birthday. Mr. Hart said most of the families are either in October or May on both sides with a few odd birthdays sprinkled here or there. Carol Sanford said son Mike is working in the hospital in Germany where some of the Marines from Lebanon have been brought. I didn’t get hold of Weltons and Mrs. Iris Welton had to go to emergency a couple of weeks ago with heart trouble. She’s back home • more medication but coming a little better. They drove up to Baldwin Saturday, Iris Welton and Meredith Dick, to see Mr. and Mrs. Duff Laubaugh. The Nelson Martins just came home from a twoweek camping trip in the Ozarks. The first four days it rained, after that it was okay. They met some people they knew from Florida. Sunday Jack and Marilyn Finkbeiner, Scott and girl friend Kim Sidebotham, Marj Bedford, and I^avina Finkbeiner all went over to Bruce and Joan Finkbeiner’s to help Bruce celebrate his birthday. Bob , Pat and Linda Sullivan were also on hand for the celebration. Jim Gordon said he attended a reunion Friday of people who worked together in the Kellogg Foun­ dation Camps in the 1930s at Pine and Clear Lake. His parents were the ones, but he attended for them. The group acted as nurses or counselors, etc., and through the years had remained good friends. It was held at the home of Dr. Harry and Jody Schneiter in Whitneyville. Also there were Francis Martindale, Marc and Doris Squier, Harold and Vi Myler and Dorothy Skytta from Dearborn. Gloria Lewis came to spend four days with her two sons. She came from Ludington. Mother and sons were remembering Jack's death on November 6 last year and were thinking of him. Scott McKeown said he has just switched jobs. He left Price Waterhouse in Battle Creek to work at Bredeweg & Stanley C.P.A.’s in Grand Rapids, so now both he and Deb work in Grand Rapids. Kathy Moore is busy crocheting afghans. Ken Morgan said every year he’s picked a bushel of Jonathans as his treat for Halloween. They are an apple that’s just about right size for the kids. He’s done this for 8 years. Rodney Finkbeiner said they took his dad, Her­ man Finkbeiner, up to Ludington for his 83rd birth­ day. They also stopped to see his mom’s brother, Asa French, in the hospital at Ludington who is just recovering from surgery at 93. Rod was telling about some land near Scottville that is just beautiful - the n just a few miles away are areas that are called Poverty Row and Hunger Hollow, for their poor land. Descriptive names, aren’t they? But that’s Michigan - a glacier formed land. Across the road may be entirely different. Last week the Barnes family went to Paynesville, Ohio, to attend their niece’s baby shower and stayed HAIR CUTTING and STYLING f MEN, WOMEN & CHILD HAIRCUTS ■ 95.00 for a few days. Then also went on to Ashland, Ohio to spend a few days with friends, coming home last Wednesday. While in Ashland they went out in the rain to collect wild grape vines to make wreaths. When they got home, they went out to get the vines, but it wasn’t raining so they were quite brittle. Her friend is coming up for deer hunting and they hope to go out and try to get some more, hoping it’s rainy and wet. John Chambers and girl friend came home from Western to celebrate John’s birthday with his family. Rosie Chambers was greeting the trick or treat kiddies as a witch. The Briggs went out to dinner with their daughter Shelley McQueen at Chi Chi’s. Mrs. Briggs was delightfully surprised to receive roses from her husband today in celebration of their engagement 28 years ago. Anyone that thoughtful should get a big hug. Mrs. Collier said her oldest girl made her own costume of a bunny out of a paper bag and was very pleased with it. The Sprenkles were eating in shifts to take care of the trick or treaters. The Rameys attended son Jim’s Cub Scout Halloween and award night Thursday. The Lynn Tolans have been fortunate in attending 2 out of the three games MSU has won. Mrs. Burghdoff said her daughter was in the junior band today as they played for the Halloween parade. It was her first year and the whole band wore costumes, so she was quite excited. Mrs. Dan Parker said they will have the com­ missioning of their lay minister, Mr. Hintze, in two weeks - November 13 on a Sunday afternoon in the Middle School cafeteria. Ann Bartlett said not to forget the Lions Club Las Vegas night Saturday at the Middle Villa. Mrs. Vandal said the St. Augustine bazaar went very well. Santa looked real good and the kids availed themselves of the chance to have their pic­ ture taken with him. She said they had a real nice Santa. Unfortunately they had a marquee put up Friday night and some of the letters were stolen, so they will have to be replaced. Theron and Mary Ann Bowerman visited the Rollo Bowermans Saturday night. Tonight Richard’s mom came over from Charlotte to help the Hamiltons celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary by going out for supper. Tuesday the 13 and 19 year old sons are taking mom and dad out for supper to celebrate their anniversary. Mrs. Humphrey said they toured the three covered bridges - Ada, Fallasburg and the Whites. Fallasburg and Whites you can cross. She said it was really worth the trip to see them. I’ll have to put a bug in my husband’s ear. We’ve never been there. The Reed Ruggles family, (former McFall principal) were in Hastings for the Lutheran Church festival. Son Jason stayed the weekend with the Bob Kenyons. Kay and Melvin Noah visited Greg and wife in Bloomington, Ind. where Greg is going to school for optometry. The Jim Roons attended a Halloween family at the Baermans Saturday. Last week Barb Errair and friend from school days, Grade Malbo of Detroit, spent the weekend with the Errairs. Regina LaPort spent the weekend with her daughter Regina Stein and family. She comes from Linwood near Bay City. This weekend the Lynn Tolans enjoyed friends Ken and Sharon Smith and family of Brevort. The Smiths had lived in Middleville for six years.

Heffner had the best night of his career, com­ pleting 14 of 21 passes for 214 yards. He also ran eight times for 69 yards. Heffner was the biggest factor in Middleville’s season high 444 total yards. As a team, TK rushed for 230 yards. Middleville jumped to a quick 16-0 lead when Hef­ fner found Lester Caldwell for his fourth touchdown of the season - this one a 40 yard pass. Scott Kamin­ ski ran for the two point conversion. In the second quarter Kaminski skirted end for a three yard TD and Heffner found Rob Pickard for the two pointer. Hudsonville’s only touchdown came minutes later when Ed Walters broke loose for a 60 yard run, cut­ ting the lead to 16-6. The Trojans struck again before the half when Tony Plant recovered a fumble in the endzone for a 22-6 lead. Heffner threw for his second TD on the game in the third period, finding Pickard for a 21 yarder. Steve Rosenberg closed out the scoring in the fourth quarter on a two yard run. Caldwell kicked the extra point. Coach Page credited Plant, noseguard Jim Gon­ zales and linebacker Ed Pawloski with holding Hud­ sonville to 79 total yards. The OK Blue’s leading rusher, Jim Vanderwall, was held to 30 yards on the ground. With the win, Middleville raised its record to 5-3 overall and 5-2 in the OK Blue. Comstock Park won the league with a perfect 7-0 record, while Kelloggsville finished second at 6-1. Hudsonville Drops Jr. Varsity, 40-12 by Betty Smith The Middleville JV football team lost to un­ defeated Hudsonville last Thursday 40-12. Middleville scored the first of their two touch­ downs on the opening play of the game. Greg Newman returned the 90 yard kickoff and marked the first touchdown. Hudsonville then came back to score two touchdowns and opened the second quar­ ter with yet another. This made the score 21-6. Our awesome young men came back to score on more in the second quarter, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Eagles.Brad Barnard scored the second TD for the Trojans on a 10 yard run. Despite tremendous effort, the Trojans were shut out in the second half. Fine individual efforts enhanced the game. Quar­ terback Jerry Steele completed 10 of 15 passes for 94 yards. Steele made 4 passes to Greg Corrigan for 58 yards, and 3 passes to wide receiver Scott Prit­ chard. Jon Moretti did a fine job by running 53 yar­ ds for 9 carries. Offensive linemen consisting of Jay Porteous, Brad Smelker, Del Craven and Jon Freeman put for­ th tremendous effort. Defensive ends Scott King, Mark Drenton, Dave Finkbeiner and Bob Caldwell were also important assets. The Trojans record is now 6-2. Their last game of the season is against Wayland, tonight, at home. Go for it, guys! WELCOMING NEW PATIENTS FAMILY DENTAL CARE JOHN D. BRUINSMA, D.D.S. S10 E. MAIN ST.

Bruinsma D.D.SJ It’s too bad we couldn’t have played all our games at home, as we were undefeated there this year. Maybe it’s the crowd support, band, and all those good things that inspire us to bigger and better things. Hudsonville may have been our best game, so far. We gained the most yardage we have allyear in a single game, over 440 yards. I thought Tim Heffner had an exceptional game both passing and running. Too bad we didn’t red shirt him for a year. After watching the films, I felt our offensive line did their best job of the year. The defense was great again, holding the Eagles to under 80 yards in rushing and kept them from completing any passis. This was our last league game with Hudsonville, but they will still be on the schedule as an opener for the next two years. TIM HEFFNER, TK'« quarterback, turned in a fine perfor ma nee in the Hudsonville game had 283 total yards passing and rushing. Next week it’s Wayland, a team that has been up and down this year. It should be a good game, however, as Wayland seems to always find a way to get up for Middleville. Don’t forget the football banquet is Monday night, November 7 in the cafeteria. Hope to see you all there. MIDDLEVILLE GIRLS TENNIS WRAP-UP Select 5 Trojans to OK Team Five of ten Middleville tennis players were selec­ ted to the All Conference team by league coaches. Deb Ploeg, Darcy Wingeier and Jennifer Geukes were selected to the first team. Darcy was selected to the first team for the third year in a row. Deb and Jennifer were the only freshmen to take all league honors. This was the first year that two freshmen from the same school made the first team. Kristy Miner and Sandi Wierenga were both selected as honorable mention players. This is the second year that Sandi has made honorable men­ tion. Coaches pick the top ten players from league schools to the first team and five players to the second team. Last Thursday the entire team (18 players) en­ joyed a memorable evening at the Grand Plaza. The team enjoyed some fine food and had a chance to relax and share some time together. After dinner the most valuable and the most improved players were announced. Deb Ploeg was selected as this year’s most valuable player. Kathy Miner was this year’s Most Improved Player. The 1983 champions had some very impressive records. The team set a new conference record for the most points scored in a conference tournament. The girls took 40 out of a possible 42 points. All ten Trojan starters reached the final match of the con­ ference tournament. Nine players won conference championships and one took the runner-up spot. Individually, the girls won 85 conference matches while losing only five. This year’s team finished 10-0 in league play including seven shutouts. Three singles players and two doubles teams did not lose a single set during league competition. First singles player, Deb Ploeg, was 16-3 overall and 13-0 in the league. Deb was tournament cham­ pion, an all conference player, and this years most valuable player. Deb is one of the finest freshmen we have ever had in our tennis program . She handles pressure very well and has the ability to adjust to different styles of play. Second singles player Darcy Wingeier was 9-8 overall and 8-4 in the conference. She was tour­ nament runner-up, all conference (third year in a row), and one of this years captains. Darcy gave us a great deal of positive leadership this year. Her biggest win of the year came in the conference tour­ nament when she played her best match of the year to defeat a strong Hudsonville player anbd reach the finals of the tournament. Darcy has been a varsity starter for four years and has played on two cham­ pionship teams. Third singles player Jennifer Geukes is one of the best freshmen we have had in many years. Jennifer won the conference tournament with a perfect 13-0 record. She also made the all conference team. Jen­ nifer has one of the strongest forehand shots on the team. She is a steady player and concentrates very well. Jennifer should push Deb for the first singles position next year. Fourth singles player Kristy Miner had the best singles record at 17-2. She was 13-0 in the conferen­ ce, won the conference tournament and made the all­ conference team as an honorable mention player. Kristy has the best quickness on our team and will be back again to improve on her fine record. Sandi Wieringa and Sara Schondelmayer played first doubles and were 12-1 in league play. This team won the conference tournament and were regional runners up. Sandi is a senior, one of this year’s co­ captains, and an all conference selection. Sandi will be hard to replace next year. She has been a very dependable player for us over the past four years. Sara Was our most aggressive net player again this year. Sara doesn’t wait for something to hap­ pen, she makes it happen. Sara may be playing singles next year. If she does, you can bet she will be at the net often. Sara finished this year with a fine 17-2 record. Karyn Elies and Kathy Miner played second doubles again this year. Karyn has improved her serve and Kathy has improved in the back court. Both players were much more aggressive in the forecourt this year. This team went undefeated through the regular season. Their only loss came in the regionals after beating a strong Forest Hills Northern team. Kathy was chosen this years most improved player and hat the best individual record of 19-1. Our second doubles team won the conference title. The girls put on an awesome display in the tournament finals, winning 6-0, 6-0. Karen Sias and Melissa VerStrate won the con­ ference title at third doubles and were regional run­ ners-up. Karen is a senior and a true team leader. She has been patient and helpful with new players throughout the season. Karen was a team captain and one of the hardest workers we had on this year’s team. Melissa gave us the consistency we needed to make a good doubles team. She was steady from the backcourt. Good serves gave Karen an opportunity to work at the net. Melissa is a freshman and should be ready to help the Trojans go after another cham­ pionship next year. Missy Rounds, Lisa Wolverton, Kathy Fox and Ginger Cook all won their letters this year. Jeanine Stander, Ingrid Konow. Shannon Herweyer and Ranee Cramer also played some matches this year. All are freshmen and will be fighting it out for a starting position next year. This year’s team was one of the most determined we have had at Middleville. We can all be very proud of the way this team represented our school and community- Seven of these starters will be back to try for another conference championship next year. �The Sun and New*, MiddlevUk, Michigan/November 3,1983 ln rnnw i rnnitf Rob Durkee Mark Ladousier 7 •• John Kullik 3 Scots On OK XC Team Brian Smith The OK Blue conference Cross Country coaches selected the following runners to the OK Blue All Conference team: Mark Ladousier, John Kullik and Rob Durkee from Caledonia, Mike Telgenhoff, Mike Willemsen and Bruce Ivie from Lee, Rich Hippen­ steel and Rick Budden from Comstock Park, Jeff Compagner from Hamilton and Brian Smith from MiddleviUe.

MORE CALEDONIA NEWS ON PAGE 18 CLASSIFIED ADS PRODUCE RESULTS! Consumers Power n-plants earn praise from regulators Palisades Two Michigan nuclear plants have earned applause from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for their strong safety and regula­ tory performances. -James G. Keppler, who directs NRC operations in the Midwest, says he is “exceptionally pleased” with the Palisades and Big Rock Point nuclear plants. Keppler reported that in recently completed evaluations, both plants once again received high marks. All operating nuclear plants in the U.S. undergo the annual, year-long appraisals, called Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP). The SALP reviews for Palisades and Big Rock Point cover the period from July 1, 1982 to June 30, 1983. Palisades, near South Haven, and Big Rock Point, near Charlevoix, are operated by Con­ sumers Power Company. To­ gether. the two plants produced 18.7 percent of the electricity generated by the utility in 1982. Consumers Power is building a third nuclear plant in Midland. Palisades’ SALP ratings im­ proved for the third consecutive year. Keppler praised that record, saying, “I now consider Palisades one of the better plants in Region III, and I think that (the improvement) is probably the most dramatic change I've seen Big Rock Point in any plant in the Region in the 10 years I have been here.” Region III covers Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri. The formal written SALP report praised Palisades for strong management and im­ provements in emergency pre­ paredness, quality assurance, employee training and staffing, and response to NRC concerns. Big Rock Point, which Keppler noted “has generally had a good record over the years,” was commended for improvements in radiological controls, surveil­ lance, emergency preparedness, security and safegards, and training. The utility said it is pleased with the evaluation. The favor­ able report “reflects the priority that the Company has placed on safety and quality,” said Jack W. Reynolds, Consumers Power executive vice president for energy supply. , “I think it’s important in that we have demonstrated to the NRC and to the public that we know how to operate a nuclear power plant safely,” he said. This advertisement is paid for by the shareholders of Consumers Power Company. 2O-2&5 E 17 Mr. and Mrs. John King, Mr. and Mrs. E. J.

HILLEGONDS, CALL AC 517 373 0836 ADDRESS LETTERS TO HIM AT STATE CAPITOL BLDG., LANSING. MICH. 48909 Notes from a week at the Capitol: Monday. Legislators are focusing on the only specific, long-term economic development proposal Governor Blanchard has proposed so far. Actually, the Strategic Investment Fund is largely a re­ packaging of existing business assistance programs. The primary purpose: to provide state bond revenues for low interest loans and equity in­ vestment in new high risk businesses that cannot obtain sufficient capital from private lenders. I support the concept. In the decade ahead, prosperous areas like Western Michigan will con­ tinue to build on a foundation of diversified, produc­ tive companies. Other parts of the state, especially urban, auto-dependent areas, will be experiencing very difficult economic times. Rather than spend more to support citizens who can’t find work, it makes sense to provide job-producing capital to new and growing firms. One problem . The Governor has insisted on attaching a string to Strategic Invest­ ment Fund loans. He wants any building projects financed by the fund to pay construction workers the prevailing union wage of the local area. Where there is a mix of union and non-union employees, this may mean that hourly wages on economic ex­ pansion projects will be artificially inflated. The net result will be fewer companies wanting to par­ ticipate in the Strategic Improvement Fund - and fewer new jobs for Michigan workers. Tuesday. It’s time to plan strategy. Senate Republicans and some concerned Democrats have removed the prevailing wage requirement from the Senate version of the Strategic Investment Fund legislation. Likewise, a bi-partisan coalition has limited the prevailing wage requirement in the House Economic Development Committee. Will this coalition hold on the House floor? It’s the first real test of the year for the pro-business, pro-job majority we believe exists in the House. Knowing that sympathetic Democrats are under tremendous pressure to support the prevailing wage requirement, other House minority leaders and I urge our colleagues not to insist on all or nothing. In order to have any chance of winning on the floor, we must be willing to support a compromise prevailing wage formula. The caucus agrees not to make our primary effort the repeal of the entire prevailing wage provision, at least for now. Wednesday. Pressure from the Governor and the construction trade unions is successful. Some Democrats try to help by not voting at all, but only two majority members join with us. The prevailing wage is added back to the committee bill with three votes to spare. Thursday. The vote on final passage is before the full House, now what? Do Republicans oppose the entire Strategic Fund concept because of the coun­ ter-productive prevailing wage provision? Or do we register our protest, hold our noses, and vote for the bill - urging that a compromise be reached with the senate? Our caucus splits down the middle. After much agonizing, I decide to vote for the bill. That’s because I may be involved in the House-Senate negotiations with the Executive office and want to show some good faith going into the talks. But Speaker Owen makes it hard to push the green but­ ton. In his floor speech he states that Republicans are trying unjustly to make employees work “at below poverty levels’’. I rise to challenge his misun­ derstanding — or mis-statement - of the issue. However, another Democrat cuts off the debate and the bill is approved, 83-23. After voting “yes”, I decide to visit the Speaker and let him know exactly how I feel about his remarks. Next, I make calls to the Director of Com­ merce and one of the Governor’s staff aides. My message: Now that the final compromising is about to begin, it’s time to show that the Governor means what he keeps saying. If he cares about creating jobs in all of Michigan, he’ll show some flexibility on the prevailing wage issue. A pro-job coalition does exist in the House and Senate, if the Governor will decide to lead it. Will this message register at all? That answer must await another legislative week of frustration and negotiation. It wasn’t one of Governor Blanchard’s better days. Not only was he forced to withdraw his nomination of Clifford Allo to chair the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board. A bi-partisan majority in the Senate also voted down the Gover­ nor’s appointment of Michigan AFL-CIO President Sam Fishman to the Michigan Arts Council. How differently this year began when the Gover­ nor pushed a 38% income tax increase through the legislature. Then he successfully appealed to par­ tisan loyalties rather than philosophical convictions of a number of Democratic lawmakers. Now citizen unrest over the size of that hike is being felt in Lan­ sing. As a result, the honeymoon appears to be over. The fact is that current Michigan House and Senate members are more conservative than in recent years. It is evident in the subject matter of legislation being considered, in committee discussions and in floor voting patterns. And it has been demonstrated dramatically by the defeat of the Allo and Fishman appointments. Allo was a United Autoworkers - hired attorney who worked against needed workers’ compensation changes in 1980 and 1981. Job providers were un­ derstandably concerned by his nomination to chair a board that will be interpreting those reforms. Sam Fishman’s rejection had nothing to do with his qualifications to serve on the Michigan Arts Council. As a political leader for the UAW, however, Fishman had attempted to defeat conservative Democratic Senators in the last primary election. In a -very real sense, the three Democrats who voted against his nomination were declaring their philosophical and political independence from a heavy-handed governor and organized labor allies. That declaration could help to restore a balance of power to a State Capitol totally dominated by Democrats during the past ten months. Surely as a legislative minority, the Republicans cannot rely on partisan members in the Senate or House. Instead it lies with the promotion of those public policies we believe are best for our state’s future. The force of a bi-partisan majority united by such policies may at least cause Governor Blan­ chard to start compromising and cooperating for the good of Michigan.

You might think it would be just to be snoopy and dig up any skeletons, or spread unkind things. So the best way to show what I want to do is to do my own. Also, I will only say what yo u give me, and read it back to you before I turn it in to Don Boysen. It is also the way for you newcomers to get acquainted with your neighbors. I married John Velderman during WWII (begin­ ning). I was Norma Luneke, a Grand Rapids girl, he a farm boy from Zeeland, working on road construc­ tion at Fort Custer, boarding at the same place I ate at in Galesburg where I was teaching 2nd grade. Af­ ter the war we bought a dairy farm (80 acres) on Cherry Valley Road in Middleville. We have six children: Jana, now 36; Ted, 34; Pat, 33; Mary, 30; Cay, 29; and David, 28. Jana graduated from the University of Michigan and married Dr. Alex Peden, a Canadian Ichythyologist and is living in Victoria, B.C., Canada. She became a Canadian citizen - she thought at the time it was necessary to work with her husband in B.C. National Museum in the Fish Dept. It turned out husband and wife could not work in the same governmental department, so she now works in an architectural engineering office as a girl Friday. Their work, as here in the U.S. was hit very hard by the recession, is now a little better, but still very slow. She’s separted from her husband. Ted married Arlene Egeler , they met at Albion College. She’s from Lake Leelanau, Mich. They have 5 children and now live in Jackson where he is a night cook at the restaurant called Brandywine. Brian is 13, almost 6 ft, takes after both gran­ dfathers, quiet and studious. Terry is 11, very athletic, pretty blue-eyed blond, good allaround student and youngster. Mandy is 5, just started school this year. A very capable, self-possessed pretty child. More than ready for school. Jason is 4, blue eyed blond, very sweet. But one little pistol, just like his dsd.

Christina, at 3, is very pretty, but a determined little gal - knows exactly what she wants and inten­ ds to get it. Ted says all the other children were a training ground for he and Arlene for handling and anticipating Christina. Pat graduated from MSU and is living in West­ field. New Jersey. He works for IBM introducing to the IBM salespeople all over the U.S. this new com­ puter that was developed for the newspaper and publishing business. He is married to Helaine Don­ nelly. a New Jersey Girl. They met in the Swedish Folk Dance group in New York. She’s a school teacher in Plainfield. N.J., teaches an ungraded 1st grade in an all negro school. Plainfield has become 95/colored. I love teaching, but I’m not prepared for today’s teaching problems. Pat and Helaine have just bought a beautiful old 3-story Victorian home and are spending all their time and money restoring it to its original beauty. Pat said they just won a legal fight in their area to keep a condo out, and prevent them from tearing the beautiful old homes down. They are in the process of getting the area declared a historic area like G.R. Heritage Hills. Mary married John Baggott of Grand Rapids. He is now a 4-H Agent in Algoma County Extension of­ fice in Harrisville and they live in Lincoln. It's about 30 miles from Alpena. They have one son, Kyle, 4, who is blond and blue eyed. Looks like his gran­ dfather John Baggott Sr. who is deceased. Mary has a licensed home to keep children. I think the term is pre-school or nursery school. She attended MSU last year to work on getting her degree. She and Kyle lived with her mother-in-law, Fran Baggott, Fran taking care of Kyle while Mary was in school. The separation was too much for she and John, so she’s back up north keeping this school to help with ex­ penses of living. Cay is living in Okemos, attending MSU, working on getting her degree in paramedics and teaching in some way. She worked for Trans America for several years as a manager of one of their branches in Grand Rapids. She tried going to MSU right after high school, wasn't satisfied, and took a while to find out what she didn’t want to do. Worked for Story Olds Investment office for a while, then decided to finish her college. Now is working part time at night in a bank from 8 p.m. until midnight. David has his Mechanical Engineering degree, did work for Eaton at the proving grounds in Marshall, is now working in Research and Development in a “think Tank’’ at Kelsey Hayes in Ann Arbor. He married Barbara Gould - is now divorced, but they are still real good friends, do everything together same as during the marriage, but just don’t live together. These modem kids - guess I have a lot to learn. I’m old fashioned and have very narrow ideas of marriage. But it's their lives and I have to keep my nose out of it. Fortunately for the kids, they all live away from their bossy domineering mom. It makes for a healthier relationship, because if they were close I couldn’t keep my mouth shut. John and I sold our dairy farm 9 years ago now to Hellinga Farms run by Dirk Reidstra and family, we 16 Years Experience now live on M37 on a small farm 79 acres. I have my dream home, live in the country, have a creek and woods at my doorstep and have a very rich, full life married to my Rock of Gibraltar, John Velderman. I’m very fortunate, at my age, not many women have their dream house and live a rich, full wonder­ ful life. I guess the reason I like doing this on the families in the community is most news is all negative, all the bad kids, etc. In a small town, we are doubly for­ tunate, we still hold tight to our plain simple faith, good school and church system, farming com­ munity. So our youngsters get good basic roots to hang onto later on. They definitely are no more angels than we were, but a small farming com­ munity is tops for raising kids. So in Middleville I feel we should stress our big native product - our kids.

New Outdoor Lens Most people are familiar with the photo-gray and photo-brown lens that have been on the market for the last ten years. They are a light shade of gray or brown indoors and they take on a darker color out­ side when exposed to the sun. The new lens available is the Fog Cutter Sports Lens. It has a yellow color indoors in its lightest shade, and it darkens to a soft medium brown shade in the darkest stage. This is not a coated lens, but is made in the same way as its counterparts, the photo-grau amd the photo-brown lenses. The Fog Cutter Lens is similar to the Kalichrome shooting lens that most hunters are acquainted with, but it goes one step further in the darkening process.

Cindy Wenger joined a group of ladies from Peace Reformed Church Friday night for a surprise slumber party with Donna Kiel. Saturday night Mart and Cindy helped with their youth group road rally - scavenger hunt. Said it was great fun and they ended with a hot dog roast at Wingeiers. A week ago the Phil Bender family had a Christmas party with her folks, the Harold Terpstras before they left for the southwest for the winter. The delight of the day for Barb was to meet a new grandmother. Her mom was adopted and just now located her 84-year old mother, who lives in the area. Now there’s a whole new family to become acquainted with. Pastor Wiley and family were Sunday dinner guests at the Phil Bender home. They also at­ tended the Halloween party at Church Satur­ day night. Son Tom and daughter Lindsay had Monday Monday night supper with us before he took her trick or treating and back to Grand Rapids where she now lives with her mom.... all change is not happy, nor is it growth, for we have sub­ tracted a family member and it hurts. Sunday afternoon visitors of Walt and Lois Bender were son Don and family. Brad and Brian Enders spent Saturday night with us while their folks went to a costme party at Lowell. The Enders family had Sun­ day dinner with his folks, Harold and Dorothy Enders in Grand Rapids. Now comes the annual United Methodist Church Bazaar on Saturday. Hope to see you there. Helen Wenger and I, with our commit­ tee. will be in the kitchen rolling out doughnuts at the crack of dawn or before. So relax with us after you’ve looked over all the goodies and en­ joy a cup of coffee and donut. November already! I join many of you in wondering “where the year has gone’’. Possibly we should be thinking of how well we have used our time instead of how quickly it is gone! The Halloween parade by the elementary students was great. And their display of pum­ pkins was fantastic, we re told, with 211 artful entries. No wasted time in that venture! Pat and Judy Harrison went to a family card party Saturday night at the home of her sister, Elaine and Ryal Northrop. The Harrisons went to band night for daughter Nikki’s first time at performing there, then went to a “spirit party” for the Caledonia Girls Basketball team. Ward and Jessie Bender had a nice trip which took them to Brooklyn, Michigan, to visit her sister and family, the Dick Rober­ tsons, to Dayton, Ohio, to visit daughter and husband, Fred and Bonnie Williams, to West Virginia, and a stop at Niagara Falls on the way home. On Sunday Ward and Jessie, along with Paul and Ethel Gibson, went to church at Edmore and were there to watch former neigh­ bor Rev. Stanley Finkbeiner be escorted to jail GARDEN TALK When Mom and I were planting garden We found a lot of creepy things Bugs and worms and ants and beetles; Some crawled along, and some had wings. Mom says that God makes all that's living: The bugs and birds and flowers and trees The things that are so beautiful. And creepy worms; and ants and bees. I asked my Mom just why it is That God should make the ugly things Instead of only pretty ones Like robin-bird that chirps and sings. Then Mom explained to me about it I'll tell you in her very words: "God makes the ugly bugs and worms To FEED his pretty robin-birds!"

Moat adults know that you can’t do it without help. For some flights all you need is a few sticks and some strong fabric. For others you need a 747 and a crew of ten. Grown people regularly recognize that they need help — the help of teachers, of fellow workers, of a church, of God. Without such help, our flights are short and our landings tragic.

A few of the things that have made this year great I (1) The return to a six-hour school day. (2) Curriculum enlargement, i.e. Middle School (Shop - Home Ec - Phys Ed) High School and Elementary Areas (3) Athletics and Activities (4) Libraries fully staffed We feel that the above mentioned things that were returned to our school setting have helped us turn the corner. For a long period of time it seemed we were only cutting programs. We certainly are not out of the woods yet, as the District still has a great many urgent needs. These are exciting times in Education. It seems that everyone is beginning to see the importance of Education to Our Country Our State Our local Area People are becoming involved in discussing the ramifications of all of the various aspects of educating our people. Some of the hotter topics con­ cern (1) Length of school year and day (2) Standards for classes and graduation (3) Requirements to advance and graduate (4) Teacher certification and evaluation These are a few of the issues and there are no simple answers. If you are interested in participating on any school committees, please contact our office. We need public input.

Our student body excelled in many different areas including academics, vocational education, fine arts and athletics. The Board of Education approved the purchase of com­ puters to be used in a computer classroom, and this allowed us to offer two new courses in the high school — Computer Science and Computers and Society. The computer classroom is used every hour of the school day by our stu­ dents. In addition, the community school program is using the classroom fournights of the week. Currently, our high school curriculum ofers each student classes to build a solid educational foundation upon. The high school program is designed to encourage students to become involved in all areas of the curriculum and at the same time make sure that they acquire basic skills in English, mathematics, govern­ ment, United States history, personal finance and science. Basically, most of our students follow one of two educational directions: 1 .College or advanced school preparation. This curriculum choice would include four years of mathematics, English (reading, writing and speaking), and complete offerings in science (biology, physics, chemistry, computers), social science and language arts. 2. Occupation entry courses. This includes business and secretarial training, computer classes, and industrial arts classes. In addition, eighty-five of our students are taking classes at the two Kent Skill Centers. The Co-op program continues to offer many students a chance to work and learn in the community. During the course of the school year many different events and activities took place and should be mentioned here. Julie Kadau and Chris Noah were selected as this year's Homecoming Queen and King, The Student Council had their eleventh annual Christmas Drive in which $800 was collected from the students and donated to the TK Boosters and World Hunger. Many of our students went to Washington, D.C. for a period of one week in a project called "Close-Up." The basic purpose of "Close-Up" was to show how government really works and to expose the students to the men and women who are leaders in Washington. The "Close-Up"project also was held on the local and state levels last year. Jane Bryans was selected as our Daughter of the American Revolution representative. The aII-school musical, "Oklahoma" was directed by Mr. Charles Baughman. The Junior Senior Prom was held at the Hoffman House in Grand Rapids in May of this year. Twenty-seven seniors received American College Test (ACT) scores high enough to qualify them for scholarships in the state of Michigan. Special recognition was given Chris Noah from the NASA Space Shuttle Student Involvement Project 1983. Chris was one of 20 students to participate in this space project from Michigan and Ohio.

The middle school offers many varied classes. All students take math, English, social studies and science. Seventh graders take Michigan history, health, orientation and art. Art was just added this year. Band students do not take the above classes. Eighth graders are required to take shop or home economics. These classes are run on a co-ed basis. Some eighth grade students who are in band cannot take the above classes. Band is an elective and is very popular in all grades. The band totals around two hundred and thirty five students in grades six thru eight. This means that 50% od our students take band. Physical education is required of all students. The middle school physical education program is an excellent program in that it offers a varied curriculum for all students. Our physical education instructors will be presenting their physical education program "Fire Up Your P.E. Student at the National Middle School Association of Educators in Chicago in November of this year. In 6th grade one extra subject is offered that all students is must take which is developmental reading. We feel this class has really helped our 6th grade students improve their reading skills. It also has vastly improved our reading scores on the Michigan Assessment Tests. The Middle School maintains two rooms for special education. There is a learning disabilities room and an emotionally impaired room. Students in these rooms receive individual help from specially trained teachers. These rooms are very effective both in the cognitive and affective areas of learning. The middle school receives help from special services in the following areas: 1. Schoolpsychologist. 2. Speech therapist 3. Physically handicapped consultant (part time) 4. Social worker (part time) We may also call on help from the Kent Intermediate School District. These services contribute immensely to the studen­ ts ' well being. The middle school provides a full time counselor who is qualified to work with many students' problems. This service is used constantly by many students. The counselor is also responsible for many standardized tests that are ad­ ministered. Examples are as follows: 1. 7th grade Michigan Assessment 2. 6th and 8th grade Achievement tests 3. Iowa Algebra Test for 8th graders These tests allow us to maintain a learning profile on our students that will help in teaching and placing them in proper subject areas. The middle school provides a fully equipped media center that supplements the regular program. The center is run by a library clerk. The media center provides fiction, non-fiction magazines, audio visual and many other materials for staff members and students.

Transition back to the six-hour day was smooth and McFall students were treated to an educationally enriching'year. At the end of the year there were 3 72 studen­ ts in attendance at McFall which was slightly above the figure of 368 at the beginning of the year. McFall fourth grades recorded the finest performance of any previous fourth grade class at McFall on the Michigan Assessment Test which is administered annually to all fourth graders across the state. Only one student achieved less than 50% of the objectives tested in Reading and also only one student achieved less than 50% of the objectives tested in Mathematics. Six McFall teachers received training in a program entitled "Individualized Language Arts" which is designed to improve the writing instruction given students. Initial results were so encouraging that during summer vacation the remainder of the McFall staff attended another two-day training of I.L.A. and student writing will receive a major emphasis in 198384. Supported by the P.T.A., McFall established a solid in­ troductory computer curriculum for all K-5 students. Seven P.E. T. microcomputers were in operation with over two hun­ dred software programs available to assist classroom instruc­ tion. McFall students were used as the data base in a physical education research program conducted out of Grand Valley State College to explore the difference in skill level achievement attained by students taught in a traditional set­ ting as compared to students taught in a movement based program. Special physical education programs during the year included evening gymnastics presentations, fifth grade floor hockey tournaments, field day at the high school, 400 meter1 mile runs and a half-time performance at a home basketball game performing movement activities in coordination with the High School Jazz band. March was again declared "Reading Month" at McFall and many special reading activities were planned including: sustained silent reading, classroom "share a book" programs, home reading programs, M.S. Read-a-thon, to name a few. Once again, the Reading Arts Festival culminated the month's activities. McFall students were treated to many special programs through the P.T.A. supported "Art Grant" through the year. Some of the programs included: puppet-making with June Stopples, singing with Carol Johnson, a performance by the Grand Rapids Symphony String Ensemble and trips to Grand Rapids to see a performance of the Mother Goose Jamboree and a performance by the Grand Rapids Symphony. The ex­ posure to the Arts led to a festival night in late May in which each of the classes performed for parents and friends.

Remember those suncatchers you bought last November from that round-eyed elementary salesperson? Do you ever wonder what happened to that money? Or how about that Book Fair in March where you bought that one extra book you really didn't need, just because it was money for our kids? And what mom can forget those Campbell Soup labels — all 20-some thousand of them? What "Mmm, mmm, good" things did they provide for West Elementary? And finally, there were double-exposure pictures, roller skating, and pop­ corn sales. Well, whenever you stumble across an asterisk (*) in the following listing, pat yourself on the back — that little star marks one of the results of your generosity. 1. We were able to go on field trips: to zoos, museums, airports, Charlton Park, to visit with pen pals, and many more. 2. Physical Education returned full time to West, along with a new instructor, Jon Greenman. (Jon also helped organize our Saturday skating program, and directed a free tumbling class.) • 3. Naomi Barber was hired as school psychologist. 4. Mary Lou Passenger returned after a two year abswnce, joining us as our Developmental and Kindergarten teacher. Meanwhile, Tom Jeltes left us to join the Middle School staff, and Bev Swanson signed on as our Develop­ mental room aide. 5. The Arts Program was given a financial injection by our PTA — one new addition being our Saturday attendance at the Grand Rapids Museum Arts Classes. 6. Fourth Grade camping week at Charlton Park. 7. "Let's Get Digital" became our theme as two Apple H computers came West. 8. Stella Morgan retired as our librarian. 9. The Regional Spelling Bee saw TK students take 4 of the top 6 positions. 10. The Pizazz Popcorn Co. came into existence. This 5th grade economics project featured the purchasing of a pop­ corn machine, and the paying off of a $280 loan to the bank. Besides running the total operation, our fifth graders were able to pay for an overnight party at tne end of the year, and leave a legacy gift of two $80 wooden dotI houses to our in­ coming kindergarteners. 11. Our flag pole got re-strung, and old glory got dusted off. 12. Career Day had our school vibrating with your professions. 13. Our cafeteria walls came alive with cartoon charac­ ters, thanks to PE instructor, Jon Greenman. 14. Christmas Make-lt, Take-lt was a big hit, as West teachers presented this present to the parents and students of West. 15. Special Education rooms were reassigned. Each elementary now houses its own program for special education.

REPORT The 1982-83 athletic year had several outstanding highlights. The biggest of these was the advancement of the boys' basketball team to the semi-finals of the State tour­ nament where they lost in a double overtime to Kalamazoo Christian. A Conference Championship was also won in boys' basketball. The girls' softball team won their own tournamen­ ts and their first ever District Championship. The girls' track team won several relay meets and combined with the boys to win the First Annual Barry County Meet. The boys' tennis team also qualified and played in the State tournaments. The 7th grade boys' basketball team and the girls' junior high track team won the league championship. The Athletic Department, with the help of the Boosters, again hosted many events that brought financial help to the school and community. This year we held a girls' Michigan District basketball tournament, the boys' State wrestling meet, the boys' and girls' State Regional track meet, the junior high boys basketball tournaments, the Middleville Christmas wrestling tournament, the Middleville Co-ed relays, the Barry County track meet and the Middleville Girls' softball tournament.

Several new curriculum innovations were tried: Cooperative Learning, 5th Grade math and Science, Spelling, our reading teacher, Linda Hoffman served as a language arts concultant, and too many individual efforts to mention. The nine asterisks you've counted represent your financial support to West Elementary. But it's your day-to-day efforts with your sons and daughters what provide us with our biggest boost. Your children come to us with questions and concerns and things to share. You send them to us for guidance and instruction and enlightenment; and we prepare ourselves for them, knowing that our only truly limited resource is time. We have but six years to build upon your efforts, Mom and Dad, and during that all-too-short a time, we will strive hap­ pily to build on your foundations; or, if necessary, we will begin to erect those foundations. In a few cases, we will have to spend that precious time tearing down undesirable struc­ tures, in order to begin. Whatever tools we pick up at West Elementary to use with your sons and daughters, depends upon whatever tools you did or did not pick up. It's quite a partnership we share. Thank you for your help throughout the year. � https://www.barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/25/693/SunandNews_1983-11-10.pdf 09a46c1cf1ab271962187f812a6aab0b PDF Text Text Hastings Public Library 121 Church Hastings.

The apartments had been fully occupied since 1982, providing housing for senior citizens of the area. Since opening in February of 1982, the income levels for eligibility have been raised to $13,050 for one person and $14,950 for two people. The asset limitation of $45,000 is still in effect, said Mrs. Cox. During the past year and a half, the Housing Commission has established various policies and programs for the welfare of and enjoyment of the tenants. Many of these are reflected in the Tenant Guidelines which serve as a handbook for the residents' reference. Lincoln Meadow has a full calendar of events which include involvement with the Middleville Community Education classes on Monday and Tuesday; weekly bingo parties, coffee breaks and a Bible study group. On a monthly basis, the tenants have a birthday party, a potluck and a blood pressure clinic. At the present time the residents are busy preparing for their Second Annual Bazaar which will be Novem­ ber 19. In the summertime the tenants have a large gar­ den. and they have added two shuffleboard courts and a pool table for entertainment. The Commission on Aging provides meals on wheels and a housekeeping service for those tenants as needed. The Barry County Health Department is also available with a visiting nurse service if n<*#*ded. For mobility, the Barry County Transit buses tran­ sport the tenants on a call basis. “The Middleville Housing Commission is proud of the facility,” said Mrs. Cox. “If you have not had the opportunity to see the facility, a personal or group tour can be arranged.” For more information write or call: Lincoln Meadow Apartments. 500 Lincoln Street.

Dear Boosters and Fans: One of the most pleasant task of being the president of a Booster Club is writing a “thank you” letter and having so many people to thank that you can’t list all their names for fear you’d leave someone out. The fans saw a lot of new faces this fall, however, two people stood out amongst the crowd and if it weren't for their endurance and enthusiasm, I know I would be sitting in a padded cell! They are Marylou Stickney and Gloria V an Art sen! Running a concession stand is no picnic - right, girls? Feeding 1000 people a week (mostly under 4 ft. tall!) is a task that even Chef Tel would find in­ surmountable. I know it will be a long time before a lot of us will be able to look at another Milky Way or a box of Nerds! Not to mention popcorn! And don’t be surprised if you’re invited over to a booster’s house for dinner and you’re served soup! But all in all, it was a good season and we met a lot of new people and made some new friends. Marylou and Gloria were always there - and deserve a great big pat on the back. And to turn a phrase, “behind every good woman is a man” — Lee Stickney and Steve VanArtsen sacrificed their time and their wives to the Boosters, and if you see these people around town, please take a minute to say thanks. The crew of the Booster Boat sincerely thank all of you who worked so hard to keep us afloat this fall. But we are only a small ship in a big sea. Basket­ ball. wrestling and volleyball will be starting soon and the Boosters need your help. We’ve got the In­ ternational Food Fest coming up, the State Wrestling meet, a dance, etc., and we need workers. I wish we could get out our crystal ball and find all the people who want to help out, and we’d call you today. Please let us know who you are. Fill out the form below and have your child bring it into the principal’s office or give it to a Booster. Trust me, if you fill out the form, we’ll call you!

The school brochure illustrates a community which blends agriculture, industry, business and recreation. In this setting the Caledonia Community Schools provides quality education while consisten­ tly operating on one of the lowest millage rates in the area. Of the 62 entries, the brochure was one of only 14 statewide which was given a commendable rating. COMMUNITY EDUCATION DAY (Continued from page 1) “Now that the children are all married and have their own families, I find I have too much time on my hands. My husband and I are both retired senior citizens. He too was lonely and needed something to do. So he found himself a part-time job. One day, as I was visiting my children and gran­ dchildren in Indiana, something came to me. I was talking with my granddaughter about her career. She is sixteen and must start to think about her future. I said something to her and she corrected my English. This bothered me and made me think of my own education. I realized I had only completed the 9th grade. So after much thought, I decided to go to Adult Education classes at Caledonia High. I decided to go to the night classes. I started in the fall of 1980. The first class I took was English. I only took the one class then, because I wasn’t sure if I would like it. I found that I enjoyed it very much. The next year I took “Government” and “Human Behavior.” Last year I took History and English. This year I am taking English and Science. I took a G.E.D. test for Social Studies. I will be ready to graduate in May of 1984. I feel that I have accomplished a lot. I think my English has improved, also my spelling and reading. I have learned alot about our country and our government. I have met a lot of new friends and have gotten over my boredom. I am learing about our universe this year in science. I find all of this very interesting. I would certainly advise anyone who has the time to take Adult Education.” Mrs. Hatie Wiseman obituaries JOSE GALVAN BILLBOARD COMING EVENTS IN THE LOCAL AREA EARL O.

Whenever I submit a legislative proposal to the House Clerk for introduction, I can’t help but won­ der: Will the exercise amount to anything more than a waste of printing and paper? Happily, this year such efforts have not been in vain. Here’s a progress report on the bills I spon­ sored earlier this session. Sunset. After three years of waiting, a House Policy Committee task force is working seriously to develop a legislative process to evaluate state programs. Before we begin redrafting the measure Majority Leader Joe Forbes and I have introduced, the task force is holding extensive hearings. So far we have met with officials from the Auditor General’8 office, the Fiscal Agency, and departmen­ tal planners to study how we can better utilize already available evaluation tools. Sunset legislation faces a long road before it becomes law. But the seriousness with which the task force is tackling this issue makes it the most encouraging project in which I have participated in Lansing. Voluntary Quit Loophole. My bill to close a loophole which allowed voluntary quitters to collect unemployment benefits was added to a measure combining several unemployment amendments. It is now law. Usury Ceilings for Mobile Home Sales. An unrealistically low, 7% ceiling on interest rates when mobile home owners wish to sell their homes directly to buyers is discouraging such financing transactions. The House approved legislation Inin­ troduced to raise the ceiling to 11%. Hopefully, the Senate also will pass the measure before the end of A Fair Deal for Penn Central Lessees. Throughout the state the Penn Central landholding company is putting the squeeze on lessees who have hyilt businesses along railroad rights-of-way now abandoned. Penn Central’s demand: Pay an exhor­ bitant price for the leased property, or the company will sell the land out from under the leaseholder’s business. A House Committee met last week to con­ sider my bill that would authorize the State Tax Commission to arbitrate a selling price based on the fair market, value of the disputed property. It ap­ pears that after amendments are added to the proposal next week, the bill will be reported to the full House for action. Unnecessary Regulation. Also scheduled next week is a House Committee hearing to repeal useless state licensing laws for watchmakers and massage parlor operators. Last year identical bills I introduced moved through the House but died in the Senate. This time, hopefully, the measures will make it through the entire process. Public Financing of Gubernatorial Campaigns. To help prevent gubernatorial primaries from becoming too confused by non-serious candidacies, I have proposed raising the private contribution level from $50,000 to $150,000 before matching public funds run be released to a candidate. Recently a House Policy Committee hearing was held on the bill, and it appears there is interest in compromising the qualifying level at $100,000. Chairman Joe Forbes has promised further committee action on this legislation. Public vs. Private Competition. Because he likes the proposals, an influential House Democrat has reintroduced my bills to: 1) Mandate the State Pur­ chasing office to avoid unnecessary state duplication of services that can be provided more ef­ ficiently by private contractors; 2) Force the state to pay a 1% per month penalty fee to private contrac­ tors when the state is late in making its payments. The House Economic Development Committee Chairman has indicated his interest in acting on the bills, though no hearings have been scheduled yet. Financing Non-Profit Homes for the Aged. Last year the House — but not the Senate — passed a measure I introduced to provide low-interest finan­ cing for the construction of state-certified, non­ profit nursing homes and homes for the aged. The Public Health Committee Chairman has assured me his committee will take up the bill, but so far it hasn’t been placed on the agenda. Once this is done, I am confident the House will again pass the measure. Then the challenge will be to encourage favorable Senate action.

The second quarter again was close but both teams began to find the range and the Trojans took a 10-8 halftime lead. The third quarter was also close, but the Trojans were able to add one point more to their lead. The third quarter ended with the Trojans leading 13-10.

It was 28-0 when the teams left the field for the half­ time ceremonies. Heffner connected with Duflo again for a six yard scoring pass when play resumed in the third period, making it 34-0. Middleville’s scoring was completed when Darrell Smelker ran for 16 yards and paydirt. Wayland avoided a whitewash with scores in the third and fourth quarters.

The third quarter again was almost even, with the Trojans outscoring Hudsonville 4-2 to take a 17-12 third quarter lead. The fourth quarter saw the Trojans go cold and begin to make some costly mistakes as they allowed Hudsonville to get back in the game.

There are certain other infections to which some teenagers now have increased exposure. In these days of relative sexual freedom, many teenagers are having casual sexual relations, and there is an in­ creasing incidence of veneral diseases, particularly gonorrhea, among young people. Because of ignorance or fear, the teenager does not seek treat­ ment and the infections spread alarmingly fast. It is estimated that 25 percent of the one million cases of venereal diseases reported each year is among teenagers. There is a great need for improved sex education if we are to prevent the spread of VD. Teenagers and their parents must learn to speak frankly to ea ch other, and fear and shame must be conquered in or­ der to seek treatment. Doctors must increase their effort to find and report cases of VD. The "Hippie” culture has also caused increased exposure to certain diseases. Lack of good nutrition and poor sanitation where large groups are living together can lead to spread of tuberculosis and other infections such as infectious hepatitis (now often called "hippie hepatitis”). The increase in drug addiction has brought with it an increase in serum hepatitis, which can be tran­ smitted through dirty hypodermic needles. Carriers of the infection, it should be noted, often do not show its symptoms. Tetanus infection among addicts using injectable drugs has also increased — one more concomitant of the problem of drug abuse. While there are many complex aspects to the problem of drug abuse — some of which are discussed in other Public Affairs Pamphlets — doctors and parents should at least be sure that tetanus immunization is kept up to date when a young patient is found to be a drug user.

The story originally appeared as a book around the turn of the century, written by a Topeka clergyman named Charles M. Sheldon. It is reported to have sold over 30 million copies and has been translated into dozens of languages across the world. The film story follows the experiences of Rachel Paige, aspiring young actress, newspaper publisher Ed Norman, and Pastor Henry Maxwell, the clergyman whose unique concept changed their lives. “In His Steps” as a novel came at a time in American history when vigorous social reforms were underway, especially in industrial com­ munities. The film updates these situations, giving the story a contemporary approacy. Pastor Gary Wiley and the church members invite the public to view and appreciate this inspiring film.

You can reduce the chance of plant death by carefully selec­ ting hardy plants, proper planting sites, and the use of some protective measures that will lessen the possibility of winter injury. Plants are injured by several winter conditions. Drying winds, bright sunlight, sudden drops in temperature and low cold tolerances of some plants, can cause damage or death. Indications of winter in­ jury may include scorched leaves, dead flower and leaf buds, premature loss of leaves and split bark. These symptoms may appear immediately or may not appear until spring. Protect trees and shrubs by: selecting hardy plan- RECYCLING THOT by Jackie Schmitz This month’s recycling tip applies to the holiday season of entertaining as well as every day. Plastic or glass food storage containers are far more economical and environmentally sound than plastic wrap and plastic bags or aluminum foil. Leftovers are kept fresh and the containers are reusable, thus preventing waste of a valuable resource. Clean empty plastic margarine and non-dairy dessert topping containers make good food storage containers for lunches and in the refrigerator and keep them out of the trash. Plastic bread bags and other food storage bags can be washed with the dishes and reused over and over again. They can be air dried by hanging them from the refrigerator with magnets. Clean aluminum foil can be recycled and should be taken to any of our three household recycling sites and placed in the appropriately labeled barrels. The Caledonia site accepts clean glass, metal, plastic milk jugs (flattened and with labels removed), newspapers and brown bags. It is located in the Caledonia Foods parking lot on M-37. Clean glass and clean, flattened metal only can be taken to the Middleville site behind the Middle Mart on M-37, and the Hastings site in the fire station parking lot on Mill and Michigan. Labels do not have to be removed from glass but must be removed from tin cans. Tin cans must be separated from aluminum and placed in the marked barrels. Becoming more aware of the creative re-use of containers and recycling glass and metal is just another way of caring enough to protect our en­ vironment through waste reduction. ts, choosing proper planting locations, and following cultural practices. The key to avoiding winter damage is to protect plants from winter wind, sun and heavy snow loads and alternate freezing and thawing. To protect the structure of plants, it is important to locate them away from the roof line or any other snow or ice collecting areas. Plant in locations where snow and ice will not slide or fall on plants, since this can cause damage to branches and trunks of plants. Tie up conical evergreens, such as arbor­ vitae, with soft cord so the branches won’t split apart. Protect tender roots on shallow rooted plants such as roses, azaleas, and rhododendrons. Apply mulches of shredded bark, pine needles or straw, two to three inches deep, only after the soil tem­ perature has dropped. This will help prevent alter­ nate freezing and thawing of the soil, that can push or heave root systems from the ground. Mulches also maintain a uniform soil moisture around the roots. Late fall irrigation, just before the soil freezes, allows plants to take up water during those few warm days of winter. This is especially important for broadleaved evergreens such as azalea. Oregon holly-grape, and rhododendron. Evergreens con­ tinue to lose water during the winter, through their leaves or needles. If they can’t replace the moisture, damage to the plant will occur. Shade plants from cold winter winds and sun with burlap screens, evergreen trimmings or other protective coverings. Protect roadside plantings with the same kind of screens, to avoid damage from road salt. Plastic is not a good material for protec­ ting plants during the winter. Follow these steps carefully to eliminate winter injury from your landscape.

The Senate, with bi­ partisan efforts, refused to be pushed into a comer by the Executive Office. The Governor and his aides got in trouble again. This time they elected to tangle with the Senate; and again, they lost. Just moments before the senate was to reject the appointment of Clifford Allo to the Workers Com­ pensation Appeal Board, Governor Blanchard withdrew the nomination, saying opposition to Mr. Allo made his nomination a "symbol which has threatened the coalition of business, labor and government which we have been building so carefully Nonsense! He didn’t have the votes! The Senate then voted to reject AFL-CIO president Sam Fishman's nomination to the Council for the Arts. Those rebuffs came just a week after the Indepen­ dent Agriculture Commission picked Dr. Paul Ki dinger to head the Agriculture despite Governor Blanchard’s intense pressure to select former State Senator John Hertel for that position. Earlier this year, the Department of Natural Resources Commission named Ronald Skoog the new DNR Director over Blanhard’s objections. And the Governor’s efforts to directly meddle in the af­ fairs of the Public Service Commission were also turned back. There is an obvious lesson to be learned. The Michigan Constitution calls for three independent branches of government — executive, legislative and judicial. It also provides for independent boards and commissions. Nowhere does the constitution allow for government "by fiat" from the Governor’s office. The Agriculture Commission’s selection of Dr. Kindinger was a reaffirmation of the independent commission system in Michigan. The action taken by the Senate sent a loud message to the Governor underscoring its independence and reaffirming the advise and consent process tge Senate holds over gubernatorial appointees. It also told the governor that real bi-partisan cooperation on legislative matters can and will take place for the public good, rather than continued par­ tisan politics. A Republican-sponsored "workfare" program is now moving through the legislative process after receiving the enthusiastic support of Governor Blanchard and Democratic leaders in the Legislature. It is a key component in a $63.1 million legislative Attention Senior Citizens \ LINCOLN MEADOW SENIOR CITIZEN APARTMENTS J Now Taking Apportions for Rental (Rent Based on Income Level) funding package which will provide employment, education and training opportunities as well' as adequate energy assistance to welfare recipients. Negotiations, which resulted in adoption of the bipartisan package, began after Senate Republicans earlier this year blocked Governor Blanchard’s proposed $43 million 5 percent grant level increase for welfare recipients in the current Social Services budget. Republicans in the House and Senate then in­ troduced the workfare proposal which placed the issue before the Governor and squarely on the fall legislative agenda. Specifically, the workfare program, called Michigan Opportunity and Skills Training (M.O.S.T.) Act. requires all able-bodied, employable recipients of General Assistance (GA) and Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) to par­ ticipate in an education, job training or community work program in order to qualify for their welfare assistance. In addition to the workfare program, which represents the most comprehensive change of any welfare program in the country, the legislative package calls for the establishment of the following pilot program: Michigan Community Service Corps: An 18month program involving 7,000 volunteer GA and AFDC recipients who will receive minimum wage payments rather than welfare grants for working in public service jobs. Michigan Conservation Corps: establishes a yearround state park service employing 500 youths now receiving General Assistance. Private Employer Incentive Plan: A program to create jobs for welfare recipients, particularly within small Michigan businesses, by permitting an employer’s wage costs to be subsidized for six mon­ ths by recipient grants. The funding package will also protect the most needy citizens from the threat of utility shutoffs during the cold winter months and will implement a home weatherization program to protect against the increasing public costs of soaring utility bills. Pre-arranged Funerals In recent years, there has been a greatly increased interest in pre-arranged funeral services.' People are realizing the need to record their wishes on funeral services for themselves. They recognize that this takes away the difficult burden of decision making later during the hour of need and assures the family of doing the right things within proper budgets. For some time, this funeral home has recognized the needs and desires of thinking persons to plan ahead. I have developed ways of assisting those who wish to make arrangements in advance. Our funeral home has Quite a lot of families who have so recorded their plans and wishes with us. They appreciate the opportunity to make these wishes known. Most people have definite ideas about the ser­ vices they wish for themselves; specific details such as the minister, the music and scripture readings, flowers, costs, etc. They don’t have to pre-plan their funerals, but they know it’s a good feeling when it’s done and the family won’t have to worry about it! There are three reasons to pre-plan your funeral Economy — You can save money when you pre­ plan by stipulating only as much in service and mer­ chandise as you wish. Personal Choices — You can choose your own clergyman, music, scripture and the kind of service, down to the smallest detail. Inner Security — It is a weight off your mind, knowing that your arrangements are complete, and the costs will not be a burden to your family. In invite you to visit or call about pre-planning your funeral service. There are no costs or obligations, and you don’t even have to pre-pay your funeral to have your wishes made known.

Along with the move of people goes a move in criminal activity. Recent studies have shown sub­ stantial increases in criminal activity in rural areas, primarily in burglary, theft and vandalism. What can you do to decrease the vulnerability of your farm and home to crime? First, take a few minutes to read through this checklist of self-help activities that will help you substantially reduce the chance of having your farm become a victim of criminal activity — remember, many crimes are acts of opportunity, often unplanned but occurring on the spur of the moment when some careless farmer provides an inviting opportunity to the criminal. Second, improve the physical security and iden­ tification of vehicles, tools and household property. Third, get involved in community crime preven­ tion activities. People make the difference, and organized group activity and awareness are far more powerful than one or two individuals acting alone. Get local service clubs, agricultural organizations and youth groups working together on this com­ munity problem. Prevention is the name of the game. Remove the opportunity for crime: Criminals like quiet, dark and uninterrupted time. What will you do to break up this combination? Criminals like easily sold merchandise to steal. What will you do to identify your property, making it harder for criminal to steal and hence less desirable? Criminals can read! What will you do to advertise your awareness of criminal activity and the fact that you have taken measure to make your farm less desirable for the criminal? Criminal* like complacency. What will you do to be active in the crime prevention effort and to sup• port local police agencies in their work? A complete checklist is available from the Kent County Cooperative Extension Service. Call 774- �TWe Sub sad News, Middleville, Mich. I November 10,1983 13 Counseling Dept. Warns Against Scholarship Search Agencies for Aid A number of area seniors are receiving promotional material from several agencies, offering to do a student scholarship search. The mailers suggest that by simply filling out a form and sen­ ding in a fee ($10 to $50) the student will receive a computer printout of funds for which they qualify. The Thomapple Kellogg Counseling Department advises parents and students not to use the services of such agencies. Most services guarantee a listing of five or more sources for financial aid. Most coun­ seling offices or college financial aid offices, however, can provide parents with free brochures listing the same sources and since almost all funds for scholarships, grants and loans are administered by the colleges, a listing of eligible sources is of little use to the student or parent. Instead, parents of seniors should plan on filling out the Financial Aid Form (FAF) or the Family Financial Statement (FFS) in January, 1984, in or­ der to receive financial aid for the school year begin­ ning in September 1984. Either of these forms, along with an application to a college, will be the complete application process for almost all available financial aid. Parents and students may also wish to examine their own local affiliations for scholarships, since some local scholarships are available. These would on campus David G. Ledbetter David G.

With financial aid becoming tighter as federal funds are reduced, the scholarship search scam will probably increase. Unfortunately those who use these services will find that their limited college ex­ pense budgets have been reduced rather than in­ creased by using such agencies. Parents and students seeking additional infor­ mation about financial aid and eligibility for scholarships should make direct contact with their high school counseling office or the financial aid of­ fice at their respective college or university.

The discussion initially focused on ABC’s forth­ coming movie “The Day After’’ to be shown on Sunday, November 20. ABC Motion pictures president Brandon Stoddard has called the film “The most important movie we or anyone else has ever made.’’ The movie is a stark depiction of the ultimate what-if, focusing on average American citizens in Kansas and what they are faced with the day after the unthinkable happens, nuclear war. It does not concern itself with where the fault lies, but only the consequences. The local group centered their discussion around the theme. What Can We Do To Prevent This? They agreed that grassroots awareness, concern and in­ volvement by people in countries around the world is necessary to preserve life as we know it on our planet. They decided to direct their efforts in the next three weeks toward encouraging local citizens to watch the ABC movie, and towards organizing a ---------------------------- ~ BILLIES BEAUTY SALON "'ON THE LAKE" 555 S SHORE DRIVE — GREEN LAKE CALL 891-8017 Open Days and Evenings By Appointment BILLIE RUSSELL, OWNER 20 YEARS IN THE SAME LOCA TION wotot MIDDLEVILLE LUTHERAN MISSION Meeting in TK Middle School Cafeteria Sunday School..................................................... 9:30 a.m. Worship...............................................................11:00 a.m. Adult Bible Study.................................

Check House to Save Energy Taking a few minutes to make some simple checks around the house could save customers money on their winter heating bills, says Frank Johnson. District Manager of Consumers Power Company’s Battle Creek District. The furnace should be high on the checklist. A malfunctioning or poorly adjusted furnace is an energy waster. An excellent way to avoid furnace problems is to have a qualified, authorized heating contractor in­ spect the furnace, its flue ducts and the chimney. There are some furnace maintenance tips for those who enjoy doing it themselves: — Clean and lubricate the blower fan and replace the dirty air filter. Make sure to read the furnace maintenance instructions. — Clean the furnace humidifier. — Check air ducts and registers for any blocking. — Visually inspect the vent piping for deterioration or rusting. Adequate preparation for winter and wise use of energy will help keep down your energy bill. John­ son says. There are a number of other steps that are recommended to save energy. These include: ♦ Set the thermostate as low as is reasonably com­ fortable. One degree can save about three percent of the annual heating usage. A night setback ther­ mostat can save considerable energy. ♦ Close drapes in the evening and on cloudy days. Open them on sunny days on the windows that face the sun. ♦ Close off unoccupied rooms. ♦ Make sure that furniture or drapes do not ob­ struct the free movement of air from heat registers and cold air returns. ♦ Weather-strip outside doors or doors to unheated areas. A one-eighth inch crack around a standard door or window allows as much heat to escape as a hole the size of a grapefruit. ♦ Check cracks between window frames and bet­ ween door frames and the wall, Caulk if necessary. ♦ Check insulation. If the ceiling or attic has less than three inches, more is needed. A minimum of 6 inches is recommended. The number one costeffective step to save energy is to install insulation in the attic. ’ Use storm windows or plastic coverings to provide a second layer of protection. Repair broken windows. ♦ Check dampers on fireplaces, kitchens and bathroom exhaust fans and dryer vents to make sure they close tightly when not in use. ♦ If air conditioners cannot be removed from win­ dows, weather-strip around them and cover them. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ : BAZAAR ♦ ♦ December 10 * 9-3:30 ♦ 4 A 0 Village Community Building ▼ ♦ East Main Street at Grand Rapids Street Anyone wishing to participate ▼ ♦ Call Marge Loew - 795-3503 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ � https://www.barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/25/693/SunandNews_1983-11-17.pdf 14581c95b234b9512147962c1fb82859 PDF Text Text Hastings Public Library 121 Church Hastings, MI 490590 i/- comp The Sun, gnd Netos Your Hometown Newspaper Serving Middleville and Caledonia TWENTY CENTS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17,1983 ♦ MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 113th YEAR • NUMBER 46 TK Board Seeks Bargaining Session With Teachers The Thornapple Kellogg School Board of Education met in executive session Monday night to review the fact-finding report received by the board and teacher’s association last week. Although the board did not report what reaction they had to the report, they instructed Superinten­ dent Gerald Page to contact the Association to begin bargaining toward a labor contract. Page stated that a letter was sent on Tuesday offering four possible dates that they would like to meet with the teachers. Fact Finder David T. Borland submitted his 27 page report to the interested parties after hearing testimony and reviewing documents to support both the Board’s and the Association’s positions. In the report, Borland stated that the issues before him, considered to be at impasse, included salary, health insurance, early retirement, number of work days in the calendar, and the duration of the agreement. The fact finder made these recommendations on those issues: Name Timmerman All-Stater Rolfe Timmerman was named last week to an honor no other Middleville school golfer has ever had: an All State Class Golfer. Rolfe, the son of Rev. and Mrs. Roger Timmerman of Middleville, is a TK junior. Rolfe’s accomplishments this past golf season were impressive: •He was the only unanimous OK Blue All Conference choice. It was the second year in a row that Rolfe was named to the all conference team. •His league match average of 37.37 was the lowest of the league and his overall match average of 39.09 broke the school record of 39.67 set by Craig Funk. •Rolfe’s overall average for the year, in­ cluding all rounds, was 38.24 with his low round of 35, which he shot four times. •In the eighteen matches that were played as a team this year, Rolfe finished as medalist (the best score) in fifteen of those matches. •With a score of 78, he placed second in the conference meet and was second in the Forest Hills Northern Fall Classic with an identical score of 78. •With 125 golfers participating in the Kent County Invitational, Rolfe tied for 10th with a score of 80. His 83 score at the Regionals placed him tied for third out of 85 golfers. •Rolfe was the captain of the team this year and will return next year to lead the Trojans in their run to a conference title. All of the All Staters will be recognized at a banquet this Friday at Michigan State Univer­ sity, said Rolfe’s golf coach, Bernie Weller. Duration of the agreement. It was recommended that the parties enter into a three year agreement, which is effective on September 1,1983 and expiring August 31,1986. Salary. For the current (1983-84) year, it was recommended that the salary schedule be ’ncreased each step by three percent. In the two subsequent contract years (1984-85 and 1985-86) it was recom­ mended that there be an increase of the previous year’s salary schedule by a minimum of tour per­ cent. For each one percent over the minimum, one half percent will be added to the minimum percent increase to the maximum of eight percent, based on the CPI-U from June to June. Health Insurance. It was recommended that the employees be offered the option of the MESS A Super Med I plan (the teacher’s proposal) or the SETT Ultra Med B plan (offered by the Board). It was also recommended that the Board pay 100 percent of the full family protection. Early Retirement Incentive. The fact finder recommended a scale of incentive for early retirement of teachers that would in his words, "be an appropriate expression of both parties* intent." It would range from $1,250 for a 10 year retiree to $5,000 for 30 years of service. Calendar. The recommendation would continue the number of student days at 181 and the work days at 183. Borland concluded his report with the following statement: "While teachers must continue to recognize the financial expertise and operations of the ad­ ministrative and elected officials of the District and the District must continue to recognize the good faith needs of the teachers to be aware of the factors contained in their working conditions, it also is in­ cumbent on the citizens of the District and their elected Board of Education to recognize that em­ ployment pressures are created in the schools finan­ cially, just as such personal pressures are con­ sidered by them at the ballot box, when they vote on school millage requests. "Apparently, the local citizens recognised this pressure, when they approved recently an additional millage level for the first time in the past decade. The time for tension among the teachers, ad­ ministration, Board members, and citizens has to conclude now, so that the best educational services possible in these mutually difficult times and cir­ cumstances can be provided to that other group of citizens — the students of Thomapple Kellogg School District. It is that belief and hope, as this Fact Finder has become more closely acquainted with the mutual needs of the competent people engaged in the activities of the Thomapple Kellogg Schools, with which these Recommendations have been formulated.” Two Caledonians Receive FFA American Farmer Degree Two members of the Caledonia Future Farmers of America chapter have received that group’s highest honor. Both were named to the highest FFA degree of membership, that of American Farmer. Paul Meyer and Larry Finkbeiner were among 730 other FFA’ers who were honored at the 56th National Convention in Kansas City, MO last week. Always a highlight of the convention, the American Farmer degree ceremony included the presentation of a certificate and a gold key to Paul and Larry as they walked across the convention stage in front of thousands of FFA members. Jan Eberly (on the right in the two photos above), National President of the FFA, congratulates Larry (right photo) and Paul (left photo) on their achievement.

There are plenty of good reasons for going to the Thomapple Kellogg Library - great novels, valuable reference books, magazines, children's books, recor­ ds and now a Polaroid instant camera that can be borrowed free of charge. You may want to borrow the camera for special events such as the one picture here. These Thomap­ ple Kellogg Community Education pre-schoolers en­ joyed being the first subjects of pictures with the camera. On Monday, October 31, 1983, the children visited the high school in their costumes along with their teacher Sharon Bancroft and aide Sally Wieringa. The Thomapple Kellogg library is participating in “Check This Out,’’ a program providing free instant cameras to public libraries throughout the United States. The cameras, which are from the 600 series, feature built-in electronic flash and one-button operation. Sponsored by the Customer Service Division of Polaroid Corporation, the program is being offered in cooperation with the American Library Association. With our budget limited and economic conditions difficult everywhere, it is generous of the Polaroid Company to make this con­ tribution. Hopefully, it will be the beginning of a trend that other companies will want to follow. There are very few guidelines that one must ob­ serve in order to take advantage of this service. As with borrowing all materials from the library, a valid library card is required. If you do not yet have one, simply stop in the library, fill out a registration form and we will issue you one. We also intend the camera for public use and require you to be eighteen years old to borrow. It is a very good idea to reserve the camera for special events that are on your calendar. Telephoning the Thomapple Kellogg High School and public library will reserve the camera for a specific date. Regular loan periods are two to three days. If you would like to extend this time, telephone the library. If no one has reserved or requested the camera, loan time can be extended up to a week. The camera requires 600 high speed land film. Patrons are responsible for providing their own film. Processing or developing is not required since there is an instant camera you can watch the pictures ap­ pear before your eyes. Just think how much fun it would be to have pic­ tures of a special event. Here are some suggestions — make reservations for the popular holidays ahead of time- Pictures of: Thanksgiving, Christmas, baby pictures, pizza parties, club meetings, Easter, prom, graduation, puppies, kittens, new car, birthday par­ ty, anniversary party, or pictures to send to relatives that live far away. A camera is not the only thing that is being added to the services that the public library provides. Check future columns for more information.

Area Group to Doorn bos Family Sponsor Forum on Doornbos Family Leaves for Florida Nuclear War A farewell party was held at Peace Reformed A group of Wayland area people have formed an ad hoc committee with the purpose of encouraging people in their communities to concern themselves with the nuclear war threat, to understand how a nuclear war would affect them, and to become aware of organizations in southwestern Michigan working to prevent nuclear war. The group, which wishes to be known as “People for Peace ”, has organized a forum, titled “Options to Build on”, to be held at the Baker Elementary School gym on Sycamore Street in Wayland on Monday, November 21, from 7:30 until 10:00 p.m. The meeting is scheduled for the evening following the ABC television movie “The Day After,’’ a graphic depiction of what happens to Americans in the aftermath of nuclear war. Chuck VanderWoude, of the Grand Rapids based Institute for Global Education, has said that his group is preparing for a large number of calls following the movie from watchers needing to talk about what they have seen. It is to serve this need and to provide options for people wishing to express their concerns about nuclear war that the Wayland group is sponsoring the forum. Speakers from area educational, civic and religious groups actively working for world peace will be featured. Senator Ed Fredricks and Steve Monsma, a commissioner with the Dept, of Natural Resources and a professor at Calvin College will speak. Each will briefly address the topic, “What is My group doing to Prevent Nuclear Disaster?”. Groups represented will include: The Institute for Global Education, the National Assembly of Religious Women, Physicians for Social Respon­ sibility, Educators for Social Responsibility, Paren­ ting for Peace and Justice, and Impact. After the talks, time will be allowed for informal discussion and for looking over materials concer­ ning their work that the groups will bring. The sponsoring group, “People for Peace” is en­ couraging people to watch the ABC movie and and inviting anyone interested to attend the forum. Four Trojans Named To All League Team Church Sunday evening honoring Pastor Chuck and Elsie Doornbos, who leave this week to take up pastoral duties at the Hudson Reformed Church, Hudson, Florida.

Kentwood, Ml 49508 OFFICE SUPPLIES 1 Annual Turkey Trot on Tap for November 26th The annual Middleville Turkey Trot has been scheduled for the Saturday after Thanksgiving this year, but the hundreds of runners expected probably will not have indulged in that much turkey anyway! Sponsored by the Middleville Track Club and Bil-Mar Farms, the race begins at 10:00 a.m. with registration coming at 8:30 a.m. at the TK high school. There will be two races, one for the serious run­ ners and one for the fun people. The serious bunch will go for 10,000 meters over a country route of paved and gravel roads. The first 100 top finishers will received medals and the ribbons will be given to all runners. The fun race will be for one mile. It only costs $4.00 to sign up for the 10,000 meter run, with an additional $3.50 for a Mr. Turkey shirt or visor. One new wrinkle this year will be “corporate run.” If there are five or more runners from the same workplace, they may compete (at no additional charge) as a corporate team. There will be awards to the winners and runner-up. Female runners will be divided into five age groups and male runners will participate in nine age groupings. Registration may be made with Bill Rich, 403 Grand Rapids Street, Middleville. Pre­ registration deadline is November 20,1983. ★ Closed Noon Hours 1 2-1 p.m. I Closed Saturdays! 130E.

As a matter of fact, when you pick up your phone on January i, you may be very’ surprised to learn that your senice has changed very little. For one thing, you will be able to dial your local and long distance calls exactly as y ou did before. About the only immediate change will be how your calls are billed. That’s where LATAs come in. LATA is a new word to all of us. It stands for “Local Access Transport Area In Michigan there will be five LATAs (which happen to closely approximate our Area Codes--see map). For now. the important tiling about LATAs is this: Starting January71, 1984, whenever you place a local or long distance call within the IATA in which you live, you will be billed for that call by Michigan Bell, if Michigan Bell is your carrier. When you place a call from your IATA to another LATA in Michigan or elsewhere, you will be billed by another long distance carrier. Some carriers may elect to have Michigan Bell include their charges in the bill Michigan Bell sends you. Others may not, and will bill you directly Vie'll be telling you more about LATAs and other calling infor­ mation as the details unfold. So. as the expression goes—“not to worn.

MIDDLEVILLE LUTHERAN MISSION Meeting in TK Middle School Cafeteria Sunday School........................................................... 9:30 a.m. Worship...................................................................... 11:00 a.m. Adult Bible Study..................................... Thursday 7:00 p.m. Thanksgiving is fast approaching and many of you will be preparing turkeys. Some questions commonly asked of the Kent County Cooperative Extension Service are: what’s the best buy; how do you stuff, thaw and prepare a turkey; and what do you do with the leftovers? What’s the beet buy? If you want to be economical, buy a turkey big enough for several meals. For turkeys under 12 pounds, allow threefourts to one pound per serving. For larger birds, allow one-half to three-fourths pound per serving. How do you prepare a turkey safely? Thawing the turkey: 1) in the refrigerator, in original wrap, on a tray - 18 hours to 3 days. Unwrapped and covered lightly - 18 to 48 hours. Remove giblets as soon as possible, wrap loosely and store separately. 2) Im­ merse moisture tight package in cold water. Cover turkey and change water if it becomes warm. Small birds, 3-4 hours. Large birds, 6-7 hours. The slower the defrosting, the juicier the turkey. Do not thaw at room temperature. Roast turkey at a minimum temperature of 325* for safety. Baste the turkey during roasting. To prevent darkening of the skin, cover with foil the last half hour of cooking. If you are going to stuff the bird, stuff just before roasting. Otherwise bac­ teria can grow during storage. How do you store the leftovers? As soon after serving as possible, remove dressing and refrigerate. Use within two to three days unless covered with gravy and frozen. Gravy can be frozen also. Reheat gravy rapidly to boiling before serving. Turkey can also be diced and frozen to be used later in casseroles.

NOVEMBER 24,1983 * MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 113th YEAR • NUMBER 47 Name DeGroote Winner of D.A.R. Award Principal Henry J, Dugan of Thomapple Kellogg High School is pleased to announce that Lynnette DeGroote has been chosen the recipient of the Daughters of the American Revolution award (DAR). This award is one of the greatest honors a senior girl can achieve. The qualifications necessary to gain this honor are patriotism, service, depen* dability and leadership. Lynnette, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest DeGroote, 3111 Wing Road, Hastings, was chosen by the faculty from a list of girls nominated by the senior class. Lynnette, TK's Homecoming Queen, is currently serving as Student Council secretary and was a junior inductee to the National Honor Society. Music plays an important role in Lynnette s life. She is a first section member of the jazz band, mar­ ching band and concert band and also serves as band secretary. Two musical productions at TK have benefited from Lynnette s talents as she played lead parts in each. She has performed at Solo and Ensemble competitions receiving first ratings. Bugling at Barry County horse racing and singing with the New Life Singers at churches, rest homes and religious clubs takes a large portion of Lynnet­ te’s time. Summers find Lynnette counseling kindergarten through ninth grade children at her church’s weekly activities days. During the school year she is a youth leader with her church’s youth group. In ad­ dition, she teaches trumpet to aspiring trumpeters of the community. Lynnette s pleasing personality and friendly manner are especially appreciated in her cooperative occupational training job in the high school office. Thanksgiving Meditations (of an elderly lady as she sat alone on Thanksgiving Day) I am thankful today for a roof o 'er my head The rain’s coming thru, near the foot of my bed, But maybe tomorrow there'll be sun-rays instead — So I'm thankful. I am grateful today for my rocking chair — One rocker is cracked - I really don't care, The pillow is frayed, still - it's a chair. And I'm grateful. I am thankful today for something to eat; For the clothes that I wear; the shoes on my feet, Tho something that's new would be such a treat. Still I’m thankful. MISS LYNNETTE DEGROOTE She spends several hours a week assisting ad­ ministrators, secretaries and other school personnel. Rated in the top ten percent of her class, Lynnette impressively broke the school’s typing record three times and currently types 94 words per minute. Presently majoring in business, English and music, Lynnette has plans to attend Davenport college with a goal of becoming an executive secretary. The high school administration, staff and studen­ ts congratulate Lynnette on her fine high school career and this prestigious award. I am wondering today, as I sit in my chair With the rocker that's cracked, and the rain dripping there A t the foot of my bed if there's someone who 'll share In my thanking? Let us praise Him today for our lot as it is Tho in wealth we may lack. For the gifts that He gives: Joy, honor, peace, truth, and the love that is His, Let us thank Him!

The prize, $50 in cash and a $50 Art Pen set. will be awarded to the student who produces the best poster depicting Gun Lake’s 3rd Annual Winter Festival. The Festival is scheduled for January 27, 28 and 29. According to the Poster Contest chairperson, Pat Smith, the school of the winning student will receive a matching cash prize of $50. The contest is a new feature to the Winter Festive. ‘Our main objective, of course, is to create interest in our January Festival,” Pat, a Gun Lake resident, explained. “But, just as important, we believe, is the opportunity to get our area young Also Get FFA Degrees Al Steeby. chapter advisor of the Caledonia FFA, informed The Sun and News this week that two other members of the local group have also been named to American Farmer Status. Last Week Paul Meyer and Larry Finkbeintf were shown receiving their certificates at the FFA Convention iu Ksnsss City. Jim Connors and Pat Fitzsimmons were also so honored, but were not able to be there for the photo session. This is the first time in Michigan history, said Steeby, that four members of the same chapter have received the American Farmer designation in the same year. people involved in this event. Our teens have ideas and enthusiasm — they are an untapped resource. Community events such as this need young people.” Ten area high schools have been invited to par­ ticipate in the poster contest. They include Allegan, Hopkins, Plainwell, Caledonia, Hastings, Wayland, Middleville, Martin, Delton and Otsego. “Teenagers from around the late attend several of these schools,” Pat said. “The others are our close neigh­ bors. People from all of these villages think of Gun Lake as a part of their community.” Information regarding the poster contest has already been forwarded to the schools. Entries must be received by December 15, and awarding of the prizes will be made before schools begin Christmas vacation. Following the contest, the posters will be displayed in a “gallery ” setting, with a reception for students, parents and friends. The date and location are yet to be announced. The posters will then be used to promote the upcoming Winter Festival. Village Offices Petitions Nominating petitions are now available at the Middleville Village office for the bi-annual election to be held March 12, 1984, for the following offices: Village President, Clerk and Treasurer for 2-year terms: Three trustees for 4-year terms 2Od 2 trustees to fill vacancy, 2 year terms; Village Assessor for a two year term.

Band Fundraiser Beginning this week on Wednesday (Nov. 23), the Thornapple Kellogg Bands will start a fund raising project that will be used to supplement the band program next year. The band students will be taking orders for Cen­ tury Pride Cheese and Sausage. “These products are not only excellent for eating around the house, but also lend themselves to gift-giving during the holidays,” said band director Tom Nash. The band will offer a new gift pack this year that has a sampling of four items that is also suitable for mailing. "If you plan ahead for your holiday needs, any of the items would make a very welcome gift for friends, relatives and employees,” said the director. The goal for the band is for each student to take orders for ten items. They will be taking orders from now through the end of the month, November 30. The cheese and sausage will be delivered to the school within three weeks from the placement of this order. Students will be making the deliveries and collecting the money at that time. The students will also have a chance to earn prizes for their participation in the project. To purchase any of these items, contact any member of the TK bands, or call 795-3239 if you do not know a student. "We would appreciate yoiir help and support in this program. The profits realized will improve the quality of education for our children in future years, ” said Nash. �2 The Son rad News.

HILLEGONDS, CALL AC 517 373-0836. ADDRESS LETTERS TO HIM AT STATE CAPITOL BLDG., LANSING, MICH. 48909 A couple of weeks ago I wrote about House ap­ proval of the Governor’s proposed Strategic In­ vestment Fund, and my hope that a House-Senate compromise on the prevailing wage issue would be possible. The prospects for that compromise, though not extinguished, are dimmer. Why a bi-partisan agreement may be difficult says a lot about the political climate in Lansing for the moment. First, House Speaker Gary Owen — a tough, partisan fighter — is not interested in negotiating. This makes it impossible to work out our differences in the House. Governor Blanchard has chosen to take a ‘‘handsoff’ position and will sign a Strategic Investment Fund bill with or without the prevailing wage requirement. He may realize that requiring ar­ tificially high construction wages will discourage the economic development he is seeking — at least in regions such as western Michigan. But he does not want to offend his political allies. The first two problems — a partisan Speaker and a highly political Governor — are not new. A third factor, however, is beginning to loom over everything that is being decided in Lansing: It is the impending elections to recall two Democratic State Senators. One of those Senators, David Serotkin, is the sponsor of the Strategic Investment Fund bill. So the questions are: Will the bi-partisan, pro-job coalition in the Senate continue to insist that the House prevailing wage provision be compromised? Or will philosophy take a back seat to partisan politics as Democratic Senators rush the House ver­ sion of the Strategic Fund bill to the Governor’s desk — allowing Serotkin to claim credit for the proposal before his recall election? Fearful of the answer to this question, I spoke for most House Republicans on the House floor last week. Here’s what I said: “A couple of weeks ago a number of us cast our votes for this Strategic Investment Fund bill. It was a vote to demonstrate our good faith belief in the economic development potential of this package and the feeling that our differences could be com­ promised in the Senate or in conference. We voted reluctantly, however, recognizing that the bill was seriously flawed. That bill included a prevailing wage formula which would make it dif­ ficult, if not impossible, for some job providers in some regions of this state to participate in Strategic Investment Fund program. Indeed, it was that con­ cern which caused the House Economic Develop­ ment Committee on a bi-partisan vote to include in the House bill a workable compromise — not to punish organized labor or employers — but to recognize the very real regional differences which exist in this state. Now we have the Senate version of this bill before us, only this time the House Economic Development Committee has reported the bill to the House floor with what is an unworkable prevailing wage for­ mula. This language was added on a strictly par­ tisan vote, and that's a disturbing signal about the interest on the part of the House leadership in compromise around here.. So some of us intend to send our own signal today — and that is the Strategic Investment Fund in some regions of this state will be counter-produc­ tive, a . , , , problem is not dealt with reasonably by both sides of the aisle. The Speaker has talked about the need for bi­ partisan compromise on this floor, and last week we tried to show our desire to work toward that goal. But looking at the direction in which this bill may now be headed. I have to question whether we are deling with good faith bi-partnership — or bi­ partnership only when it’s convenient. Personally, I don’t believe this bill merits support unless there’s a stronger indication of genuine in­ terest in economic development in every region of Michigan. week of nov. 20 In our land the freedom of speech is a cornerstone of representative government. Legislators can debate issues openly without fear or intimidation. Citizens write freely to their elected representatives — suggesting, requesting, criticizing, even in­ sulting. And lawmakers respond. The weekly “Lansing Diary’’ I write has been one of my most important duties as a representative. In it I am able to communicate to you my personal opinions about what is happening in Lansing. In turn, it’s an opportunity for you to agree or disagree — and react. Currently each representative may spend up to 810,000 annually for all office printing and mailing. In past years, some restrictions as to what of­ ficeholders can print with public funds have been established. Prohibited, as they should be, are mailings soliciting one's own re-election or the passage of a pet ballot proposal. Now, however, the rules are being tightened in a manner that directly challenges the freedom of ex­ pression. For me the first sign of trouble occurred this past summer. I had written a “Lansing Diary’’ strongly criticizing Governor Blanchard’s 1983-84 budget proposal. Having seen a copy of my comments, one of House Speaker Owen’s aides called me in to talk about it. The purpose of the meeting was not to discuss our differences of opinion, but to let me know that such printed criticisms of the Governor were not appreciated. Since then other legislators have written newslet­ ters thought by the House Democratic leadership to be overly partisan. Last week Speaker Owen decided to do something about it. Of the ten new printing rules he has proposed, two state: “To clarify what is considered to be “partisan" and/or “political" material, beginning immediately, any materials printed in any print shop shall not contain any specific references to Republican or Democrat or Democratic, with the exception of references made in connection with the name of the Representative making the printed request. ’’ “The content of any materials printed in any print shop shall not attack, assail, assault, or promote any individual(s).” In other words, newsletters reporting differences in philosophy and policy between House Republicans and Democrats — or between lawmakers and the Governor — are to be monitored or even muzzled. To enforce these new guidelines, the Speaker has instructed the Republican and Democratic caucuses to screen each other’s newsletters before they are printed. Negotiations between the Speaker and Minority Leader Busch regarding the new rules are under­ way. Some issues cannot be compromised, however, and one is the right to speak freely. Not that I am advocating the use of excessive par­ tisan propaganda or unfair, simplistic rhetoric. Any law lawmaker who employs those tactics insults the in­ telligence of his or her constituency and risks losing their respect. But poor judgment should be for citizens to define. It ought not be used as an excuse to begin a system of arbitrary editing and even cen­ sorship controlled by the House leadership. Such an abuse of power must not be permitted. A New Sun <8 News Series DOWN MEMORY LANE by Norma Velderman MOORE FAMILY Originally Wanda came hen from Wayland. She has lived in Middleville since 1948. She used to work at school as librarian, but has worked at Bradford White for 12W years now. All of the Moore children, and there are four: Terry 35, Nora 31, Tim 29, Valley 26; were very ac­ tive in all kinds of sports. My first memories of Wanda were of a very enthusiastic supporter of any sport that her children were in. Terry married Kathy Biermacher of Middleville and they have one son, Zach. 15. They bought Mr. and Mrs. Harry Baisch’s home on M-37 south of town. You can’t miss it because it’s a beautiful blue house with white trim. Their place caught my eye before I knew they had purchased it, because they had a blue and white pickup on a real black tarmac drive. The blue of the truck and house were such a contrast from the drive. Kathy’s flowers were so pretty this fall. Terry and Kathy both work at White’s here in Middleville. Zach and Terry love the outdoors and love to hunt and fish. Nora lives in Minneapolis and works for a com­ munication company. She’s still very active in sports. I believe her mom says she plays a lot of tennis. Tim married Denise Leech, formerly of Detroit, and they live in Grand Rapids. Tim works for the state and Denise is a nurse at Butterworth. Valley lives in Grand Rapids and works for Bell Telephone. Thanks from Troop 105 Boy Scout Troop 105, Middleville, would like to thank the members of the Caledonia Sportsman’s Club for the use of their lodge and facilities for the weekend campout November 11-12-13. Two boys were able to complete their archery merit badges, begun at summer camp. Two other boys also com­ pleted the requirements for cooking skill award. In return, the troop spent an afternoon repairing and shoring up a washed-out trail. Dad Larry Bar­ ton, a member of the Sportsmen’s Club, spent the weekend with the boys, as did Scoutmaster Chuck Baughman. Dad George Lux joined the troop for the Saturday afternoon activities.

Schwartz, M.D. Bone and Joint Complaints While there are few muscular or skeletal (bone) problems that are found only among adolescents, doctors frequently hear complaints of backache or joint pain from the rapidly growing boy or girl. Postural problems are rather common and are related to rapid bone growth before supporting muscles are fully developed and strong enough. Ims can lead to back pain, ‘round shoulders, lumbar (lower back) strain, and so on. Postural problems are often made worse because very tall or obese boys or girls slouch to avoid being conspicuous, or because teenagers carry heavy gooks in one arm all the time. The condition rarely responds to the parent's nagging to “stand up straight - stop slouching, you look ugly sprawled in that chair”; more often teenage rebelliousness will alter the posture for the worse as the nagging in­ creases. The doctor must check for structural abnor­ malities and aim at correcting them. Exercises and encouragement to improve appearance will do much more than scolding. ... Rapid growth may also be associated with a slip­ ping of the head of the femur (the thigh bone) in the hip joint, causing pain and a limp and requiring the immediate attention of the doctor. Knee pain is quite common and, in the adolescent, can be caused by an inflammation around a tip of bone projecting from the upper part of the tibia (the main bone of the lower leg) or by tearing of cartilage fibers in the knee joint itself. Athletic injuries are often more severe in the rapidly growing person, again because the increase in protective muscle mass usually comes later in the period of bone growth. School sports should be supervised by coaches who understand all this and insist on adequate protective equipment and safety rules. �8 The Sun and New., Middleville, Mich.

Waste products and spillage from cleaning and winterizing the radiator on the family car are ex­ tremely dangerous to children and pets, says Michael Slanker, D.V.M., veterinary toxicologist at MSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine. “Antifreeze contains ethylene glycol, which is very poisonous,” Dr. Dianker explains. “Only two tablespoons can kill a child, a 25-pound dog, or a five-pound cat. The solution tastes sweet, so children and animals will drink it.” Signs that may indicate antifreeze poisoning range from uncoordinated movements, convulsions and vomiting in severe cases to progressive depression and loss of appetite in milder cases. If antifreeze poisoning is suspected, professional medical assistance should be sought immediately. “Early treatment can prevent further com­ plications,” Dr. Slanker says, “but once kidney damage has occurred, the prognosis is usually grave.” Dr. Slanker recommends disposing of used an­ tifreeze in a septic tank or at a waste water disposal plant. Unused antifreeze should be kept tightly sealed and stored out of the reach of children and pets. Persons with questions about suspected cases ot animal poisonings can call the MSU Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory’s toxicology hotline at 517-353-5123 Jacqueline Cherry Village Clerk t GIANT SKI OUTFITSALE! rREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT GRaEtAtThe RIGHT PRICE!

The quality of vision is the key factor. If vision is inadequate, the potential for accidents increases substantially, creating hazards for the hunter and others as well. A hunter must be able to: ♦distinguish detail at considerable distance and against a variety of backgrounds. ♦focus clearly on near and distant objects and switch focus within a fraction of a second. ♦judge distance with speed and accuracy. ♦detect objects and movements on either side of the target. ♦identify colors ♦see comfortably and perform under a variety of light and weather conditions. The ability to identify plays a large role in hun­ ting. Approximately 5-10% of the hunters cannot distinguish colors properly which can pose a dangerous threat to fellow hunters. Research in­ dicates that hunter orange is the only satisfactory color for hunters to wear under all weather and lighting conditions. Red is no longer recommended because red cloth may not be seen by hunters with color vision deficiencies and because it becomes dif­ ficult to see in poor light and disappears at dusk. In order to hunt safely, a hunter must be able to see, as well as be seen! �The Sun and News, Middleville. Mich.

BOOTH AGENCY 497 Adbgton, MHdteva* 79MXH J �12 TUSmittdNewB, Middleville, Mich. / November 24.1983 Capitol by Senator Dick Pogthumug Believing that agriculture and forestry must play a larger role in Michigan’s economic recovery, Republican legislators have devised a plan to help those industries create jobs and reap greater (finan­ cial) harvests. The eight-point legislative program is rooted in an overall GOP Economic Action plan. It focuses on agriculture and forestry because of their tremen­ dous economic base and potential for job growth, especially in food and wood processing. Both in­ dustries have weathered the recession well, generating $22 billion a year for Michigan’s economy. Major components of the Republican Action Plan for Agri-business/Forestry call for: —Exemption from the Single Business Tax for any agriculture or forestry industry processing facilities, whether they be existing, expanding or new. The exemption would then be phased out over a 10-year period. Like all businesses in Michigan, agri-business and forestry would benefit greatly by the revamping of the tax structure. —Creation of a new Agriculture and Forestry Research and Development Fund. Republicans sup­ port a centralized exposition center for promotion of Michigan agriculture, related products, industries and animals. We endorce the newly-developed “Say ‘Yes’ to the Best from Michigan Farms’’ product logo and encourage its use in newspaper ads, flyers, coupons and restaurant menus. —Earmarking a portion of horse racing revenues for the purpose of promoting horse racing, in­ creasing purse levels and improving race track facilities. Since 1970, attendance at horse races in Michigan has fallen off more than 52%. Track receipts have fallen off 24% which reflects negatively the amount of revenue to the state’s General Fund. —Creation of a legislative policy task force to develop an equitable statewide water-use policy. We strongly oppose water diversion from our Great Lakes and feel we must begin anticipating future demands and priorities for the entire Great Lakes water supply. —Passage of pending legislation amending the Grain Dealers Act to assure that farmers who deliver grain to elevators receive payment for their product. There have been 11 elevator insolvencies or bankruptcies in Michigan since January, 1981. Many farmers have never been paid for their grain which they deposited in elevators on “price later agreements.’’ Adoption of these and other policies and incen­ tives outlined in the proposal will mean new and permanent jobs for Michigan's unemployed men and women. It will also send an important message to the rest of the country that Michigan is serious about regulatory reform and reducing the high cost of doing business. Since agriculture and forestry are businesses, what is good for business is good for agri-businss and forestry. And, certainly those vital industries are good for Michigan. PRAIRIE SKETCHES CLAY HILLS With LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE With WRETHAMcNEE Ruth Klump enjoyed the Ice Capades Saturday afternoon with Mrs. Richard Clark and children. Ward and Jessie Bender, Dirk and Ria Riedstra had dinner out together in Kalamazoo on Wed­ nesday. The Dave Enders family had Friday night supper with his folks. Dorothy and Harold Enders, and had Sunday dinner with Tom and Lois Bremer. The Pat Harrison family celebrated daughter Nicki’s 12th birthday over the weekend. Nicki had a couple of friends for overnight on Friday and they enjoyed the Pizza Hut, the mall and Farrells. Satur­ day the folks surprised Nicki with an organ for her birthday, so now the house is filled with music. (I could hear it in the background!) Judy Harrison also said their old English sheepdog disappeared last week. If you’ve seen one wandering, please call them. Walter and Lois Bender, Ward and Jessie Bender joined the other brothers and sisters for breakfast at the Crossroads in Grandville last Friday. Mart and Cindy Wenger hosted her family, the Palmers, for a pre-holiday Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday. They also helped take the Peace yough group to a hockey game at Wing Stadium last week. Carla Newman. Ann Finkbeiner and Joyce Domire went to “Family Shopping Night’’ at KMart Sunday and enjoyed a snack together after­ ward. Alice Steiner accompanied Holly Steiner and Emily VanMatre to a doll show in Lansing on Sun­ day. Sunday morning Mr. and Mrs. George Shoemaker of Shelbyville attended church with Ward and Jessie Bender. Later all joined Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bricker in Grand Rapids and enjoyed eating at Mr. Steak. Tom and I went up to Shepherd Friday to spend the night with son Dave, Colleen and Zak. It was their church bazaar day Saturday, so of course I had a look-through, and we all had lunch there. Came home in the afternoon in the rain - a nice visit but a dreary drive. I don’t know about you, but it seems as Thanksgiving time approaches each year, that the older we get the more there is to be thankful for. We certainly are blessed, for even in time of problems we can be thankful for the ability to cope, and for the knowledge that a little patience and a lot of love goes a long way.

Extend Library Hours Because of an increase in patron participation, the Middleville Public Library is adding another week night to its schedule. The new additional hours are Thursday evenings from 6:00 • 8:00 Several patrons indicated that either another evening or Saturday mornings would be helpful. The Library Board decided that Thursday evening would be the most logical choice at this time since the building is not heated on weekends. It is hoped that utilization of the library continues and grows with the increase of hours that the Public Library is open. Ellect Wenger to New Farm Co-op Board Farm Bureau Services no longer exists. Delegates of that former organization met this week in Lansing and officially reorganized into a new, large regional agricultural co-operative. The new company will be known as AgnLand, Inc. Over 300 delegates were introduced to the new company in a four hour session, and then gave ap­ proval to the new articles of incorporation and by­ laws. Eleven new directors of the AgriLand were elec­ ted, with Middleville farmer Bob Wenger one of those selected. Wenger, president of the Caledonia Farmers Elevator Co. board of directors, was one of three farmers named to the new board. �1 Th* Sod ttd New*, Middleville, Midh. / December 1.1983 ■ n\ V? A At Your Public Library B? Chris Boyseo Public Library Assistant Americans are faced with a lifestyle which is becoming more complicated with the increase of technology It is true that our daily lives may be easier with the many new conveniences, but more than a few people are questioning whether the pnee of modern technology is too high. Others question whether the buildup of national armaments is necessary, especially nuclear arms. Luckily the human mind can only deal with a limited number of problems before paranoia sets in. These are real problems we face, but perhaps the best way to deal with them is through awareness and education. As a community or state or nation - you cannot solve the problem until you understand it. Here are the titles to some excellent current books available on issues we should all be aware of: Laying Waste: The Poisoning of America by Toxic Chemicals by Michael Brown.

I December 1.1983 A New Sun & News Series DOWN MEMORY LANE by Norma Velderman The Art Kenyons Art Kenyon and Ann Williams are a local family whose ancestors have been here in the Middleville area many years. Art and Ann met when Ann was learning to drive. He stopped her and blocked her way so she had to listen to him. She couldn't back up to get out of his way. They were married in 1927 and had four children, Charlotte, Bob, Bill and Rodney. Her sister Vivian Williams came to live with them when their mom, Maggie Williams, died. Art’s grandfather Spink Kenyon came in 1883 and lived on Green Lake Road, where Ralph and Alberta Kenyon now live. When Ralph bought the home farm, the old folks bought what used to be the Carl Marble place, or more recently the Ed Moeller Jr. farm on Jackson Road. When Clark s widow sold the farm to Carl Marble 35 years ago. Art and Ann bought the property on the north end of Har­ wood I^ake where their present summer home is located. Anne’s grandfather, James Williams came in 1885 as a baby. His folks had a land grand from the government. It was a farm on Bender Road where Marty and Cindy wenger now live. Some of you might remember it as the Bender farm, near the high school. Ann said her grandfather used to play with the Indian children who camped down along the river, which is now the downtown area of Mid­ dleville. James Williams was a well known fiddler and caller for dances. He could call and fiddle the en­ tire evening and never repeat himself. He also was a Civil War veteran. Art's mother’s father, John Cook, built the house and barn on Cherry Valley Road where Carl and Carla Newman now live. When Art and Ann were first married 57 years ago they lived for a short while on the east side of town. Then they moved into the small house north of the Shell station on Broadway. Later they moved to their present home two houses west of the Shell Station on W. Main (Cappons). Art was a mechanic and car salesman working for John VanderCook, who sold Fords. Then in 1931 he and Jim Polhemus went into business where the old opera house used to be (two stores away from the Railroad). It is now a fenced vacant lot on Main Street. In 1935 they started selling Pontiacs and Art has been selling them for 47 years. In 1952 Art had a fire in the garage, so bought the old Keeler Brass Factory, the present site of Central Garage. The home the Kenyons now live in used to be the blacksmith shop with a watchmaker on the 2nd floor. If you'll notice their front upstairs windows, you'll see they are more like a business display win­ dow. which made it better for the watchmaker. The Town Clock, made of all wooden parts, was in the peak of the house. First the road was level with the blacksmith's doors, but later the village raised the level of the road, filling in the dip. so now Art and Ann have to go up steps to the road. Now for their children: Charlotte married Rodney Finkbeiner. who is now a retired pharmacist. They live here in Middleville. They have four children. Gary 28. Larry 26. Allen 23 and Ann 21. Gary is now attending MSU working on his doctorate in Social Sciences. Larry’ married Jane Ghelen and they now live in Westphalia where Larry works for Pet Supply Co. out of Lansing. Larry and Jane have two boys. Patrick 3 and Gerrick one. Allen lives in Grand Rapids and atten­ ds junior college. He’s taking up electronics. Ann lives and works in Middleville. She works for Ace Bolt and Nut. Kenyon’s oldest son. Bob. married Donna John­ son. They have one son. Robert. 14. Bob is in business with his dad in Central Garage, as well as being the Fire Chief. The second son, Bill married Neva Bryans of Hastings. They also live here in Middleville. Bill is in business with his Dad at Central Garage and Neva works at TK High School. They have two children. Gayle and David. Gayle married Doug Henning of Battle Creek and they live in Troy. He is a tinsmith out of Kalamazoo. David married Kathy Muste of Caledonia. He works at the TK bus garage. They have two sons, Dan 5 and Phillip 2. (Ann calles him BJ because he looks just like his grandfather Bill). Rodney Married Carol Schenkel, a local gal. He owns his own business of NAPA parts, called Cen­ tral Auto Parts. They have three children. Craig, 29. attended University of Michigan and was in their band. He works for his dad in the Caledonia NAPA part store. Tom, 27. graduated from Northwood College in Midland. He also works with his dad in Caledonia Auto parts.

Parents should realize that unrealistic goals are often at the bottom of school failure. On the other hand, a falling off of previously higher achievement in school can be a warning of an emotional problem and should alert parents and physicians to look for sources of anxiety or conflict that need attention. Anxiety may also manifest itself in frequent physical complaints. Headache and abdominal pain are particularly common complaints among teenagers. Parents should take these complaints seriously, but it is up to the doctor to make the diagnosis in order to start effective treatment. These symptoms are. of course, real and sometimes related to such conditions as peptic ulcer or ulcerative colitis — two conditions that, most people do not realize, can afflict older children and adolescents. (As a matter of fact, even young infanta can develop peptic ulcer.) Anxiety, insecurity, re­ belliousness. all common in adolescence, surely play a large part in the abuse of drugs by children at a younger and younger age. If parents and doctors are alert to emotional problems that can lead the young person to seek escape in drugs, perhaps some of the abuse can be prevented. The doctor who is experienced in tt eating teenagers is aware that depression is not uncommon in adolescence. He should be sensitive to signs of it in order to help prevent suicide — the fourth most frequent cause of death among adolescents. The family physician is usually the first to see these problems developing. Often anxiety can be relived by this doctor himself. When he finds serious emotional disturbance or wants guidance or help in diagnosis, he should refer the patient to a psychiatrist or other professional counselor, but still retain his interest in his patient and the family.

We went to an antique flea market in Lexington on Friday and were able to get a part for an old lamp for which we’ve been scouring the antique stores for a couple of years. What a feeling of accomplishment. We toured the surrounding countryside with its horse farms, hills, narrow bridges, and even crossed the Kentucky River by ferry.

It happened in mid-August as Burghdoff drove his company truck along M 50 south of Alto, his thoughts running ahead to the job awaiting him in Freeport. “I was wondering how long the job would take and whether it would be straightforward or not” said Burgdoff. 39, who works out of the company’s Hastings office in south western Michigan. He never got to find out. Something he glimpsed—seen for an instant, then hidden by a bam—made him swing his truck around and head liack to the farm he had just passed. “Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a tractor tipping over.” he said. “1 don’t know how I happened to catch it, it was back off the road some. And I wasn’t really sure that I had seen it.” As Burghdoff pulled into the driveway of the Logos Christian Farm he found that his eyes hadn't Ix^en playing tricks Pinned beneath an o\ertumed tractor lay farm maintenance man Tom Mellon His 8.000 pound Massey-Ferguson had slid sideways off a ramp leading up to a bam. thrown Mellon to the ground and rolled on top of him.

DECEMBER 8.1983 ★ MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 113th YEAR • NUMBER 49 Middleville Lions Christmas Parade This Saturday Wintertime....... A TIME OF BEAUTY AND HAZARDS Wintertime snow brings two things ... a quiet beauty of the landscape as shown above taken on Robertson Road northeast of Middleville, and, unfortunately, slippery roads that result in auto accidents. Last Thursday a car driven by Dennis Vickers, 25, of Middleville, was unable to stop at the intersection of M-37 and Finkbeiner Road and slid into the path of a northbound car driven by a Hastings woman. Peggy Shepard, 33, and her daughter Sarah, age 9, were taken to Pennock Hospital by the Thomapple Township Ambulance Service. Middleville’s Annual Christmas Parade, spon­ sored by the local Lions Club, will take place this Saturday afternoon. December 10. Bill Kenyon, parade chairman, reports he has eight floats entered in the parade. The Lions Club is offering a prize of $50 for the best float and $25 to the runner-up. Bill indicated he still has “plenty of room’’ for more units. The units in the parade will form at the Calvin Hill Park at 12:45 a.m. and step-off will be promptly at 1 p.m. The parade will go out Fremont Street to Grand Rapids Street, then down through town to the Middle School. The TK Marching Band. 140 strong, will lead the units. Once at the Middle School. Santa Claus will greet all his little friends with a gift of candy and a cheer­ ful “Merry Christmas! ”, Caledonia area folk are reminded that their parade will be the following Saturday, December 17. (See page three of this week's Sun and News). Need More Blood A special blood drive will be held at the Mid­ dleville VFW Hall from noon until 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday, December 28. This is being done in an effort to meet patient blood needs during the holiday season. Regular donors are reminded, new donors are needed.

Mich./DwhUmtS. 1M1 At Your Public Library By Chris Boysen Public Library AsswUmt The computer age has arrived. Actually it arrived five years ago. I just refused to acknowledge this change until now. I’m still skeptical about these machines but at least the notion that they are over­ taking the human race is fading. The library has ad­ ded a computer in order to make our system more ef­ ficient. With growing enthusiasm and amazement I realize what 8 computer system can do for you as patrons and for us as staff. Remember that we belong to a library cooperative (Lakeland) that enables us to borrow books from other libraries. Most other public libraries that belong to lakeland are programmed on the com­ puter. Therefore, we have access to the information from many libraries right at our fingertips. The program LIBS 100. which we use, is marketed by the CL Systems, Inc. The main terminal is located in lakeland headquarters. Our terminal is connected by way of telephone lines. We do not have a printer with this system nor can you run other computer programs on this system. It will probably take a year to completely be able to use the computer as a circulation tool. Every single book must have the author, title, copyright, publisher, library of Congress number, as well as other information entered into the computer. A zebra tape or barcode must be placed in each book. Information about every patron also has to be stored in the computer. When this is all finished the computer will be able to check materials in and out of the library. It will produce overdue nqtices, organize book reserves and compile statistics on materials and patrons. The computer is already making an impact on library efficiency even without circulation capabilities. Perhaps you would like specific up-todate information on a specific subject. It is quite simple to secure the name of the author or a title using Books In Print. With this information the computer can tell you if the books are owned by other libraries in the system, whether they are currently on the shelf and when they should be available. Additional information includes subject headings which should help decide if the book deals with the subject matter with which you are in­ terested. Before the computer, we ordered several books through Lakeland and hoped that they were available and if the correct subject matter. Many students have already taken advantage of the ad­ ditional information. Once the computer is completely operational, everyone will benefit. Using the library will be even easier than it is now. I’m sure you will be amazed at the speed, versatility and efficiency of the little black box with a screen and keyboard. obituaries ROBERT J. TOLAN. SR. Robert J.

CALL AC 517 3730836 ADDRESS LETTERS TO HIM AT STATE CAPITOL BLDG., LANSING, MICH. 48909 Making able-bodied persons earn their welfare grants by putting them to work is a popular idea politicians like to talk about. In fact, the concept of workfare in Michigan was adopted a couple of years ago. Currently able-bodied social services claimants must accept available work or job training. If they refuse, their benefits are terminated for up to three months. Some counties and non-profit agencies in our region are providing jobs to welfare recipients. Many persons now attend required adult education classes to improve basic skills and obtain training. The program has enjoyed only limited success, however, for several reasons. Only about 30% of all welfare claimants are able to work — and many in this group do not receive benefits for a long enough period to become involved in workfare. Local gover­ nments face stiff resistance from public employees who do not want their jobs displaced by lower-paid welfare clients. Too often the jobs are “make-work” which impart few skills needed by recipients to ob­ tain long-term employment. With double digit unemployment in our state and many skilled, ex­ perienced citizens looking for work, private em­ ployers are not exactly flocking to social services of­ fices to sign up welfare clients for jobs — even though there are tax advantages for employers who Still I feel strongly that our social services system should not sentence entire generations of disadvan­ taged people to long-term dependency. That's why I recently supported a modest expansion of Michigan's workfare program. Major parts of the proposal include: —A 85 million increase in the existing 814.5 million effort to employ, educate, and train ablebodied claimants. A key amendment was added by the House making ADC mothers eligible if their children are over six months ofa ge and day care service is available. —A 81 million pilot program to help teenage parents get into the job market —An important 81 million pilot project for sub­ sidies to private employers who are willing to hire welfare clients at the same wage and benefit levels as their other employees. —A new 813.1 million Community Service Corps that will substitute minimum wage jobs for welfare grants for as many as 7,000 recipients. Sponsors will include local governments, school districts and non-profit agencies. —82.6 million to establish a 500-person Michigan Conservation Corps for young people currently receiving general assistance. Participants will help to maintain state parks and forests. The other major portion of this package provides urgently needed assistance to welfare recipients who face heating or electricity shut-offs this winter. Significantly, 89 million of the 822.5 million allocated for energy cost relief will be spent on weatherization steps to reduce long-term heating expenses. My vote for workfare was less than enthusiastic. Fortunately, however, the S45 million package represents a cautious approach. It consists of a pilot program and targets a relatively small group of citizens for participation in work and training. I also am encouraged by a provision in the bill that creates a legislative oversight committee to review the suc­ cess of the workfare experiment. Certainly. I hope the program is successful and believe it is worth trying. No matter how popular the concept, however, workfare should not be con­ tinued indefinitely if it fails to help welfare clients obtain meaningful, long-term employment.

Describing the legislative affairs in Lan­ sing while leaving out those words is like describing the World Series and leaving out the names of the teams In one recent article prepared for mailing to con­ stituents in a district represented by one of my Fair Deal If a man lives by the Golden Rule, others gradually come to see him as a person who deals fairly and honestly with his fellows, and a reputation develops. Nowadays, to many that is a process which takes too long. They try to establish community confidence quickly by public relations techniques — “I am a good fellow because it says so right here in my publicity.” But con­ fidence lasts only as long as it is backed by real service, fair dealing and a sincere feeling for those in bereavement. Have we achieved that kind of trust and con­ fidence? That is for those who have used our services to say and there is only one meaningful way for them to say it. With deep feelings of gratitude, we note that they have done so. Republican colleagues, the Democrat Leader's staff censored the words "Blanchard," "Republicans" and "Democrats". Those deletions were carried in a story detailing the Governor's signing into law the end of presidential primaries in Michigan — legislation which was favored by the Governor and both Republican and Democratic political parties in Michigan Freedom of speech is one of our most cherished rights and the success of our political system depends on the public's free access to the positions held by all parties The free flow of information bet­ ween citizens and the government they elect is essential to the maintenance of a republic and state such as ours and increases the accountability in government The "censoring" of any material is uncalled for It is political arrogance at its worst and a reckless abuse of power By "censoring" Republican material, we are being denied the opportunity to ex­ press our views on what is happening in Lansing And you are being denied the opportunity to hear directly from your elected representative his or her explanation of legislative action. Week of December 5 Decorum in the Senate came to a screeching halt during the recent reapportionment battle, as blatant and angry partisan politics rode roughshod over the rules that formerly governed our proceedings. Democrats, distressed over the second recall of one of their state senators, were determined to redraw electrocal lines to assure themselves of even stronger and more solid majorities in both houses after the next elections. Republicans were not allowed to speak, either in committee or on the floor of the Senate, in spite of Senate rules allowing them to do so. The deed was done without debate. Any pretense of following rules or maintaining control was abandoned. As for the reapportionment issue, the logic and fairness of the Republican perspective seems ob­ vious. According to our Constitution, new election district lines were drawn after the 1980 census to reflect population changes. That action was drawn out and controversial, and the battle waged on so long even the primary elections had to be delayed. The issue finally stumped the Legislature and the Supreme Court. An impartial elections expert named Bernie Apol, a former Michigan State Elec­ tions Director, was called in to draw the final map. It was judged by all to be fair. Even James Blanchard said, "Most civil servants claim they’re non-political and it’s baloney. With Apol it’s true. There’s not a partisan bone in his body." It is the position of the Senate Republican Caucus that the reapportionment plan, drafted by Mr. Apol and approved by the Michigan Supreme Court in the spring of 1982, is both fair and constitutionally correct. The majority party had no legitimate reason to tamper with it. But as much as I deplore reapportionment, I must also say that I am ashamed of the way the Senate proceedings were conducted during this debate — or lack of thereof. Though Republicans requested to debate and add amendments time and again, they were not acknowledged and the process became a one-party circus. The Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives, however, have said they will not act on this purely partisan bill. I certainly hope that those calmer and more level heads will continue to prevail both in the House and in the Governor’s office. Running a legislature may recall paranoia and reapportionment revenge is not a class act. Michigan deserves better and desperately needs more. It is high time we expended the high level of legislative energy we have just witnessed on more worthy efforts — like creating and retaining jobs in Michigan and improving our economic climate. If the Legislature could achieve those worthy goals, there d be little reason to worry about recall or re­ election. ROVING REPORTER rtfrh HAZEL McCAUL Everything going well at the park.

Some branches will include brief holiday films. According to Mary Frydrych. coordinator of Childrens Services, "the holiday season, although hectic for adults, is an exciting time for little ones. It is our hope that all children will be exposed to the richness and variety of holiday stories which tell of love, joy and peace."

To be prepared for winter storms, the State Police offer this advice: At home • have enough canned and dried foods on hand to last several days if needed. If taking medication, keep prescriptions filled. If possible have emergency heating equipment available such as a wood stove or fireplace and a supply of wood in case of a power failure. Be sure any emergency heating equipment is properly ven­ tilated. Keep candles, matches and flashlights on hand. A battery-operated radio with spare batteries will keep you informed of emergency broadcast in­ formation. Extra blankets and heavy clothing should be available. If you must go out. wear w arm clothing. Layers of protective clothing are more efficient and effective than single layers of thick clothing. Hoods should cover the mouth to protect lungs from extremely cold air. Avoid overexertion and exposure. Travel - make sure your car is in good condition, properly serviced and equipped with snow tires. Keep the gas tank full. Travel only if necessary and if possible take another person with you. Have emergency supplies in the car such as a shovel, flashlight, blanket, scrapers, a first aid kit. and food supplies.

Kent 4-H Offers New “Wonderland of Foods” Kent County 4-’h has developed a new and ex­ citing project titled "Wonderland of Foods.” The project consists of 10 different modules — dairy foods, breads and grains, fruits, vegetables, meats, ethnic foods, food preservation, food art, herbs and spices and cooking methods. Each is full of fun ac­ tivities, demonstration ideas, field trip suggestions, recipes and resources. The modules can be used as a series or by themselves. "Wonderland of Foods” is a fun and interesting way for young people to learn about food and nutrition. In the Bread and Grain module, youth can learn measuring and mixing of ingredients, how to make various breads, uses for leftover breads, types and uses of grains and nuts. The Vegetable module teaches about the taste, texture and uses of vegetables, how to make special soups and blender drinks, how different cultures use different vegetables and more. The Ethnic Foods module helps youth explore different cultures through foods. Learning about herbs and spices, where they originated, how they grow, and how they’re uses, is included in another module. Each module contains special learning experien­ ces and fun activities for the younger set — ages 4-8. Older youth may be especially interested in the modules on food preservation, ethnic foods, and food art. Also available is information on catering and careers in the foods industry. If you would like to know more about this exciting project, please call the 4-H office at 774-3265. If you do get stuck in the storm, don’t panic. If you are on a well-traveled road, show a trouble signal. Set your directional lights to flashing, raise the hood of your car. or hang a cloth from the anten­ na or window. Then stay in your car and wait for help to arrive. If you run the engine, open a window to provide ventilation and protect you from carbon monoxide poisoning. If there is no source of help in the immediate vicinity, don’t leave your car • you may become confused and get lost. Planning ahead is one of the best defenses against unpredictable winter weather. RIBC’s Recycling Tips RIBC’s recycling tip for this month is also a gift idea — a portable battery recharger How many dead batteries have you thrown in the trash? How many times have you shopped and shopped in vain for a particular sized battery to replace a used one? A nickle cadmium battery recharger is the an­ swer. Although considerably more expensive to purchase in the first place, nickle cadmium batteries last for years. They are carried locally and cost between 87 and 810 for two. depending on the size. Rechargers range from 816 to 823. plug into an ordinary household outlet and use very little electricity even though it takes about eight hours to recharge a bat­ tery. Our family has used such batteries for flashlights, camera flash attachments and toys for years and find it a great alternative to the conventional throw­ away waste creating kind. Car batteries can also be recycled by taking them to Summit Steel Processing Corp, at 519 East Railroad in Hastings. Remember to recycle your clean glass and metal (labels removed from cans) at the Middleville household recycling site behind the Middle Mart Party Store on M-37, the Hastings site in the fire station parking lot on Mill and Michigan, or the Caledonia Foods site on M-37.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE • 88TH HOUSE DISTRICT Recall - Redistricting - Retribution! Will Rogers once uttered a praver as the Legislature was preparing to convene. He said "Oh Lord, give us the strength to bear that which is about to be inflicted upon us. Be merciful with them. Oh Lord, for they know not what they do. ” A recent editorial in the Grand Rapids Press may have been a little more straightforward when they said. "The Michigan Legislature ...is populated with more than a few hypocrites, political cowards, kneejerk par­ tisans ana mental midget. Unfortunately, events of the past week or so have done little to dispel those sentiments, and much to enhance them With the second successful recall of a State Legislator in as many weeks, retribution in the form of a redistricting plan was passed by the Democratic majority in the Senate during a middle of the night maneuver, and using the vote of the recalled Senator before he was officially removed from office. If that sounds like a horror story, wait until you see the redistricting plan itself! If the bill passes the House and is signee by the Governor. Michigan's citizens will have to get used to entirely new political boundaries for both House and Senate Districts, after just having jrone through that process for the last election. The plan is a classic example of gerrymandering, designed to pit as many Republican legislators against each other as possible, and creating additional "safe" Democratic districts. Having passed the Senate, the bill is now in the Democratically controlled House. What will happen to it there is anybody’s guess. There are certainly enough Democratic votes to pass it, if and when they choose. Right now, we (Republicans) are being told that if we are good little "doo bees" and don’t get involved in any further recalls, it won't tie brought to a vote. The obvious question that is raised by that tactic is "where will it end?" How of­ ten and on which issues will that "loaded gun" be pointed? State government is paralyzed and at a standstill right now, and until this recall, redistricting issue is put to rest, nothing of consequence is likely to be ac­ complished. Negotiations are continuing between leaders of both parties in an attempt to break the deadlock and, hopefully, by next week I can report to you that guns are bolstered, hatchets buried, and we can get back to the serious business of state government. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ * cMerry Christmas * : BAZAAR ♦ December 10 * 9-3:30 ♦ 4 Village Community Building 4 0 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ East Mam Street at Grand Rapids Street tk school menus Week of December 12 Middle/High School Menu Monday Sloppy J oe on Bun, tatef tots, peaches, milk.

Middleville, Mich. I December 8,1983 It’s time to get reacquainted with your phone bill. When you go to your mail box and find your next phone bill, you'll notice it’s changed in some ways. For example, there’ll be more pages because tne billing information will be more extensive and listed differently These initial changes are the result of Michigan Bell’s upcoming separation from AT&T on January 1,1984. Weu like to explain these changes. Probably the first and most important thing to understand is that after January 1, 1984, your Michigan Bell bill may include charges from Michigan Bell and AT&T or other long distance service companies, but vou’ll continue to pay the total bill to Michigan Bell. tour billing information will be in three general categories: Basic Service. In the future, Michigan Bell will continue to provide and bill your basic telephone service, as well as your local and zone usage. Included in your monthly service could be Custom Calling, Touch-Tone* Senice. or optional calling plan charges Michigan Bell will also bill you lor any directory assistance charges vou incur Long Distance. tour long distance calls will be separated between those provided by Michigan Bell and those ihat after January 1, 1984, are provided by other long distance carriers but may be billed by Michigan Bell. They will appear on separate pages. Telephone Equipment Charges. In the past, vour telephone equipment charge was added into your charge for basic service. Now it will be itemized on a separate page. Ownership of the equipment Michigan Bell now provides you for a monthly fee will soon be trans­ ferred from Michigan Bell to AT&T Phone numbers will be listed on your bill to call if you have questions about your billing or service. And when you receive your new bill in December, a bill insert will clarify' the various pages of die bill in much greater detail. We want to do whatever we can to help you understand the changes that are taking place in your phone company. Please remember. . . IT’S AT&T WE RE SEPARATING FROM... NOT YOU.

Middleville. Mich. December 8.1983 counselor’s corner BY BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counselor Information in this article is taken from a pam­ phlet entitled Health Care For The Adolescent by June V. Schwartz. M.D. Chronic Disease. Any of these problems may beset the adolescent who had no known problems in childhood. But ob­ viously the adolescent with a chronic disease needs special care. It is hard for him to accept the fact that he is not like his friends; his activity may have to be restricted or he may have to follow a special regimen — for example, a diabetic diet. The teenager with heart disease will want to know how active he can be; he may have to have retesting of his cardiac status. The patient with epilepsy has a tendency toward more seizures in adolescence and may need adjustment of his medication. He will surely want answers to questions about vocation, marriage, how much normal activity he is allowed. The teenager with any chronic condition needs support from family and doctor and sometimes from other sources to help him, especially, weather the BILLIES BEAUTY SALON "ON THE LAKE" 555 S SHORE DRIVE - GREEN LAKE CALL 891-8017 Open Deys end Evenings By Appointment BILLIE RUSSELL OWNER 20 YEARS IN THE SAME L OCA TION MIDDLEVILLE LUTHERAN MISSION Meeting in TK Middle School Cefetehe 9 30 a m Sunday School Worship..................................................................... 11:00 am.

Sometimes a childhood condition — like asthma — will improve at adolescence; then the teenager must not be made to feel that he is an invalid. Indeed, with any chronic health problem, the aim should be to allow as much normal activity as possible under adequate supervision. It should be remembered that the adolescent with a chronic disease is subject to all the normal turmoil and pressures discussed earlier. Also, his disease may have an adverse effect on his growth and development. Or. conversely, his maturation may affect his disease — in some cases his condition may improve; in others it may worsen. Christmas Comes to Lincoln Meadow by Rosalie Shanks The tenants at Lincoln Meadow Apartments were treated on Sunday afternoon to a memorable holiday observance hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Roily Cox. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Sweet and members of the Middleville Housing Commission. The festivities started with tree trimming at 2:00 — (we have some very efficient tree-trimmers and you should see the results’!) Then in the beautifully decorated lobby and community room, nostalgic games were enjoyed with tasty hor d'oeuveres ador­ ning a well-laden table. The bountiful 5:00 o’clock buffet supper was pret­ tily arranged with colorful salads, several vegetables, choice of ham slices and condiments and a variety of cookies for dessert. The tenants thank our hosts, and the V.F.W. for their donation to help make our day so lovely, and Sherman Johnson for keeping the logs aglow in our beautiful fireplace. We were glad to have a few guests, including Sarah Johnson and Leone Sweet, and sorry Marcia Sweet had to “enjoy?” the day in a wheelchair. Better luck next year. Marcia.

He has been awarded the Combat Infantry Badge, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal and the Army Commendation Medal. John Reports that the Island people were ex­ tremely grateful to the U.S., President Reagan and the U.S. Military for coming to their aid. They were so thankful to get out from under communist rule. Wednesday. November 30, John’s brother Mark flew to Fayetteville and accompanied John driving to Middleville for a 30-day leave. Also, John and wife Anne would like to announce the birtij of their daughter, Jennifer Marie, born at Duke University Medical Center in Durham. N.C. on October 6, 1983.

John is a 1979 graduate of TK High School, and he-entered the Army in April 1981. Christmas: A Time to Reach Out To The Isolated Senior Citizen Eighty-three Christmases had come and gone for the man who. bundled in a patchwork quilt, sat quietly in his wheelchair, gazing at the frosted pane of glass It really was no matter that his view was dimmed by the icy coating. He expected no visitors. The nursing home administrator who walked by stopped to give his shoulder a friendly squeeze. “Merry Christmas Charlie,” she called with a smile. Then, turning on her heels, she sped off down the corridor and into her office. There had been an air of gaiety on the part of the nursing staff these past several weeks. Some of it was recognized by Charlie and the other residents. A great deal of the festivity seemed to go by quite unnoticed. This Christmas would probably be no different for the old man than any of the past five he had spent at the Shady Brook Rest Home. He had no living relatives. And what friends he had all seemed to be too busy these days to remember ol’ Charlie. He would savor every note sung by the caroilers who strolled the hallways on Christmas Eve. And he would enjoy the turkey dinner with his roommate. Sam. But then, with the noon meal finished, the af­ ternoon would drag on, as often many an afternoon did. His aimless thoughts wee not really so much a complaint, as simple reflections about the way things were. He was indeed thankful. His mind was still intact. And, except for the fact that he was bound to this wheelchair, he could still fend for him­ self. Besides, he concluded, wheeling himself back to his room, Christmas was for kids anyway. As you ready yourself and your family for this holiday season. I hope you will pause to consider the Charlies of this world. Christmas may be relegated to children, but isn't there a little bit of a child left in all of us. no matter what our age? Sometimes growing older is a lonely process. And. while for many the holiday season is a time of great pleasure, for some, mistletoe and holly only serve to accentuate a sense of isolation. If you know of an older person who could use a little good cheer, take time to pay them a visit this season. If you don’t know a “Charlie," consider adopting one. The Christmas spirit, in my mind, is all about extending the hand of kindness. A few outstretched hands to the Charlies this season, perhaps, will make this a better place in which to live. PRAIRIE SKETCHES Hft/> LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHE£ It’s beautiful to look at our winter wonderland — but not always so to drive in it. Right? As of right now, however. I still wouldn't trade for a land of no seasons! Paula Walters will be at the Jaycee Auxiliary Craft bazaar at the Community Building in Hastings Friday. It should also be a big Saturday in Middleville with the Christmas parade, the Auxiliary Craft bazaar at the VFW hall and a private bazaar at the Village Community Hall. Ralph and Bert Kenyon and Maxine Kenyon were at the home of Art and Ann Kenyon for an early Christmas dinner Sunday. Katie Wieringa reports that son Bill and wife Jean have moved back home from Iowa. The Van Rhees, like so many of us, are just plain getting ready for Christmas, (and it isn't as though we didn't know all year it was coming!) The Larry VanPutten family had Sunday dinner at the home of her brother, the Jim Hellers. Bob and Helen Wenger enjoyed a visit with Uncle Reg and Norine Cridler at Lowell on Sunday. Mon­ day night Helen accompanied Ethel Gibson to the candlelight service at the Bowne Center church. Dave and Sue Enders and his brother Bob and wife were guests of their folks Saturday night for dinner out in honor of both of their November an­ niversaries. Fred and Letha Buckingham enjoyed the open house Sunday in honor of the 80th birthday of Harold Thaler. Fred and Belle Matteson of Barlow Lake celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary on Tuesday, December 6. They were supper guests at the home of their daughter and husband, Paul and Betty Newman. Phil and Barb Bender hosted the Bender family Christmas at their house on Saturday night with all family members present. Sunday evening Barb and Phil enjoyed fellowship at the home of Pastor Wiley and family. Her Prairie friends may want to send Mercedes French a Christmas greeting at the Kent Com­ munity Hospital, where she is now a patient. Tom and I, Fritz and Alice Steiner, were among the many who enjoyed the hospitality of Bradford White Corporation at their annual Christmas party for salaried employees at the Middle Villa Saturday night. What a feast! Now it’s upward and onward with shopping, wrapping, baking, cleaning, making candy, writing cards, trimming the tree — and please let’s not forget the very important reason why we celebrate Christmas.

The graduates will take the state-board examination to become licensed registered nurses in February. They represent many health care facilities in the area and as registered nurses will be able to return to their work and assume greater nur­ sing care responsibihties.

There are a few rules that have been estabUshed in order to organize computer time. It would be almost impossible for pubUc patrons to schedule computer time if they had to compete with high school studen­ ts. With this in mind, we’ve estabUshed the rule that pubUc adults will have priority over students. This may be the only opportunity for pubUc patrons, while students have access during school hours. We will be happy to reserve the computer for you if you caU the Ubrary ahead of time. UsuaUy reser­ vations are assigned in half-hour blocks of time. It is possible to extend this time if no one else has requested use of the computer. Signing up ahead of time insures that you will be able to use the com­ puter at a certain time. For those who are unfamiliar with the computer, we provide a teacher s manual called I Speak Basic to My Apple by Aubrey B. Jones Jr. This provides an introduction to computer language, step-by-step directions for your first computer program and more sophisticated programs to challenge the more ex­ perienced programmer. This manual stays with the computer at all times. Here are several other books that can assist you as you become more proficient with home computers. The majority of these books emphasise the Apple computer, but some of the in­ formation is useful when working with other systems. Those who own their own home computer will find these books informative and fun! The Apple Connection by James W. Coffron.

Do you remember when you thought Christmas would never get here? On one hand, it seems ages ago. and. on the other hand, only yesterday that I watched my mother make sugar plum trees and bake all those special cakes And I spent hours poring over the catalog, admiring the tea sets, the doll carriages and oh! the beautiful dolls, each one lovelier than the last. (This one’s eyes open and close, that one has a bottle and wets her pants, and this one cries "mama ") Time seemed to go so slowly. I was sure the big day would never come. Times were simpler then, and I’m sure life was a great deal harder than we remember, but wouldn’t it be lovely if we could retain at least a small measure of that sense of delicious anticipation as we are busily making our holiday preparations? Instead of getting so hurried and harried, wouldn’t it be nice to take time to really listen to all those wonderful old carols and recapture a little of the wonder you felt all those years ago when you saw. not the shepherd’s bathrobes, the angels' tinsel halos and cheesecloth wings and Mary's robe of blue dyed sheets at the Sunday School program, but the real story of Christ ’s birth? For most Americans, a tree has become the sym­ bol. almost a prerequisite, for Christmas, and it is a beautiful one. For the first time since our first Christmas together, Don and I put up our tree and decorated it alone this year. As we hung all the special ornaments we’ve accumulated through the years on its branches, we thought back to other Christmases in our lives, each one special. But I also remember those long ago ones of my childhood. What can equal the magic and delight of seeing lights that really light up on your tree for the first time? While I have no wish to “turn back the clock,” I do sometimes wish we could shed a few layers of sophistication (or pseudo-sophistication), forget the commercialism, and put the love and warmth, the wonder, back into Christmas, maybe let a little of the child in you return for a while. •••• There is a delicious mint fudge appearing around town, and if you still don’t have your quota of goodies, you will probably want to make this confec­ tion.

Recently I wrote a Dian-’ protesting the censor­ ship of newsletters by the Democratic leadership. Since then I’ve been informed that the column can­ not be printed with legislative funds. Why? Because it contained the words “Democrat” and “Republican.” And because the person reviewing my Diary had a “philosophical difference of opinion" with my views on freedom of speech. Unbelievable? Tragically, it’s only one symptom of the shambles Lansing is in as embattled Democrats cling to their power. I^ast week not a single vote was cast in the House. Instead all eyes were on the Senate, where a second Democratic Senator had just been recalled by his constituents. Within hours of Senator Serotkin’s defeat, the remaining Democrats (plus Serotkin. whose recall had not yet been certified) rammed through a new legislative re-districting plan. The reason was sim­ ple — and reprehensible. The two successful recalls have balanced the number of Republicans and Democrats in the Senate, 18-18. Unless the Democrats win both elections to fill the vacant seats, they will lose effective control of the Michigan Senate. Thus, this past week was the last clear chance they had to gerrymander the state and vir­ tually assure Democratic control of the Senate after tha 1986 election. The Senate floor was not a pretty sight. Lieutenant Governor Martha Griffiths refused to allow Republicans their constitutional right to explain why they were voting against reapportionment. Granted, she wanted to finish the untidy business as quickly as possible. As it was. Democratic Senator Joe Mack, who has twice undergone heart surgery, had to sit through the voting with oxygen hooked up and paramedics monitoring his heart. A After the 19-18 party-line vote was completed, a curious truce was announced. House speaker GanOwen said he would hole up reapportionment in the house. Republican State party chair, Spencer Abraham, responded pledging not to use Republican party resources in future recall cam­ paigns Already the truce appears to be falling apart, and it’s no wonder. Republicans did not start and cannot stop the recall movement. It is a populist, citizen protest against the income tax increase which neither party can control. The Democrats know this, and that’s one reason why I believe they will try to push reapportionment through the House. A second reason is just plain arrogance. Re­ districting was not invented in the wake of the recall campaigns. In fact, it was the third bill introduced in the Senate when the legislature convened last January. From the beginning it was clear that con­ trol of the Governor’s office, the Supreme Court and both houses of the legislature would not be enough to satisfy the Democrats. They wanted a legislative map which would guarantee themselves a majority for the rest of the decade, regardless of voter sen­ timent. Two potential obstacles stand in the way of this greed. One is fear. If enough House Democrats decide that voting for reapportionment will fuel the recall fires, perhaps it can be stopped. Secondly, there is the Governor. Mr. Blanchard has been ducking this issue for too long. He must decide whether he will act as Governor of all the people or as the party leader for the Democrats. In part, I believe the recall movement is the result of Governor Blanchard's earlier decision to ram the income tax hike through the legislature without bi-partisan compromise. Now he faces an equally important choice. If the Governor puts on his party hat and refuses to stop reapportionment, everyone will lose in the resulting partisan blood­ shed — especially the people of Michigan. USE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS!

It's high time Michigan began to enjoy some of the reforms and economic improvements being ex­ perienced at the federal level. But that’s just a beginning Much more must be done to reform and renew Michigan's business climate and reduce the tax burden on industry. I hope this new law acts as a catalyst to start us moving on further measures to increase job com­ petitiveness in Michigan. Those Michigan businesses most hurt by layoffs and unemployment during the state's long recession will enjoy a tax cut in 1985 and 1986. thanks to a new law that passed with strong bipartisan support. The state tax cut was due in great part to the im­ proving national economy and federal tax relief to Michigan implemented by the Reagan ad­ ministration. The new act will cut about SI 11 million out of the solvency tax added to the unemployment compen­ sation tab of those "negative balance ’ businesses which, because of heavy layoffs, drew more out of the state’s unemployment compensation fund than they deposited. The bonus comes as a result of the federal gover­ nment’s move to give Michigan rebates on the in­ terest the state paid on our $2.2 billion debt. Earlier this year, the federal government eased interest charges and stretched out payment schedules as a reward to states, like Michigan, that had taken steps to begin paying off their debt. Now. Michigan's new law will scale back the solvency tax by passing on those interest savings, and more closely relating the levy to actual need. Many of us who were involved in the original unemployment compensation reform debates last year believed that the solvency tax was not needed in the first place, especially at so high a rate. We saw it as another burden to businesses already suf­ fering severe economic blows, and it's a relief to see it at least abated a bit. I’m delighted to see this type of bipartisan cooperation lead to a break for business, and I hope WELCOMING NEW < PATIENTS ntu> 8 dentaL . c°_ FAMILY DENTAL CARE JOHN D.

Schwartz. M.D. In Conclusion In order to provide full health services to teenagers, a number of Adolescent Units, as men­ tioned earlier, have been established in medical cen­ ters around the country. Here, specially interested and trained physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers and other personnel provide comprehensive care to a limited number of patients in a special clinic or hospital area. These services are usually ex­ tensions of pediatric services and are multi­ discipline in approach - Le.. they include specialists in medicine, surgery, psychiatry, gynecology, and so on. Adolescent Units aim at giving total care, which may include vocational guidance, counseling, and rehabilitation, under the supervision of a primary physician. If a patient is hospitalized he is taken care of by members of the same health team, who will continue to see him after hospitalization if necessary . While hospitalized he is in an area set aside for patients of his own age. These relatively few adolescent services ob­ viously are not treating large numbers of patients. The kind of care they provide, with much individual attention, prohibits a large clinic population. They are, however, providing physicians and other health workers with training in the special needs of the adolescent, with opportunities for research in the natural history of certain illnesses, and with an un­ derstanding of the special aspects of adolescent medicine. The Society for Adolescent Medicine was formed for the purpose of improving the quality of medical care given to adolescents, stimulating retwarch and improving communication among all health personnel engaged in the care of adolescents. Additional information about adolescent health care is available from Dale C. Garell. M.D.. Executive Secretary, Society for Adolescent Medicine, 4650 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90027. Pork Sausage 89< Chuck Roast 14 GEUKES Market DOWNTOWN MIDDLEVILLE Custom Slaughter, Cutting and Wrapping M PHONE 795-3767 The family physician who learns from this new specialty of adolescent medicine can give his young patients more responsible, effective care. Interested physicians see a twofold goal: better understanding of the dynamics and special problems of adolescence and comprehensive care, rather than fragmented care, given by a primary physician who undertakes to help both patient and parents. This should make for healthier adults.

I December 15, 1*3 Snowmobilers Can Glide on 170 Michigan Trails Hudsonville Stops Scots The Caledonia Fighting Scots opened their OK Blue basketball season by losing to Hudsonville BO54. The game was a typically close HudsonvilleCaledonia contest. The score never differed by more than 10 points and so both teams lose the lead. Hudsonville put two players in the twenties. Scott Dekkinga with 24 and Jeff Vander Wai with 23. Scot Mike Wilson paced all scorers with 31 points and 17 rebounds. Mark Mitchell had 10 points and 9 rebounds, while Scott DeVries chipped in 9 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. No one took control of the game as one team would score 4 or 6 points straight only to give up 2 or 3 baskets in a row. In the end. Caledonia had made a few too many mistakes and it cost them the game. Caledonia entertains Byron Center on Tuesday and travels to Comstock Park on Friday. Freshmen Lose, 63-35, To Hudsonville's Press The Caledonia Fighting Scot Freshman basket­ ball team journeyed to Hudsonville last Friday to come home with a 63-35 defeat. Full court pressure caused many turnovers in the opening minutes. This lead put the Eagles on top to stay. Caledonia only attempted 5 shots from the floor in the first period The game was much closer than the score. Many times both teams fought tough on defense for periods of low scoring. Then a burst of Caledonia mistakes and Hudsonville offense, lead by their guards, gave the victors their big advantage. Matt Kietzman lead Caledonia with 8 points. Strong bench performances by Craig Mulder and Mike Oliver were the biggest highlights for Caledonia. Craig came in and scored 7. 3 for 4 from the line and 2 for 4 in the field. Mike hauled in 11 rebounds and blocked a couple of shots. Tuesday the Freshmen take on Byron Center at home and on Friday. Byron Center Christian.

Curt Bode, John Frey, Mike King, Eric Seubring. Steve Lynch, Brent VanPolen and Mike Seger. Trojans Hang On To Beat Rebels Score early and hang on seemed to be Mid­ dleville's “game plan” last Friday night, as the Trojans had to hold off Lee in the second half to win 49-40. “We made a lot of mistakes and had too many turnovers." observed Coach Skip Pranger. The Trojans at one time had an 18 point lead but then, “lost our poise for a while.’’ Hitting only 37% from the floor, Middleville looked colder than the outside temperature. They were a little better at the free throw line, making 47% of those shots. Middleville came off like gangbusters in the first half, scoring 12 points in the first quarter and ad­ ding 15 more in the second period. Meanwhile. Lee was able to score only 13 points. The third period was about even in the scoring department with Middleville dumping in 13 more points to Lee’s 12. In the final frame the Trojans were out-scored by their visitors, 15-9. High point man for the Trojans was their big cen­ ter, Dave Perry, who dumped in 15 points and grab­ bed 8 rebounds. Craig Mathiesen had 11 points, followed by Steve Miller and Tim Heffner at 8 each. Tom Schwartz also took in 8 rebounds for Mid­ dleville. This Friday night Kelloggsville comes to the Middleville gym.

Happy Sixties Enjoy Yule Potluck by Lillian Schultz On December 5, the Caledonia Happy 60 Club held their Christmas potluck and program at Holy Family Catholic hall with 37 attending. Many were absent because of illness. Sister Margaret Schneider, our special guest, gave the prayer for the day and for the Christmas season, then all sat down to beautifully decorated tables. After the dinner we had a real nice sing-a-long of Christmas carols. Hilda Chapel was the pianist. Madge Ruehs read the opening, then president Lillian Schultz read the story of the miracle of Silent night, the most beautiful carol of all. After singing Jingle Bells, the closing prayer was read by Lillian. Refreshments of cookies, birthday cake and punch were served to all. Many thanks to all who donated our goodies. �VILLA LANES Classified Ad Rates WANTED 100Per Word, Per Insertion If you pey in advance, you save a fl.OO billing charge Mail your check with the form below, or after you call in your ad!

By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistant Since we made such a big production of the Christmas season last year with three columns devoted to wonderful Christmas books, I was going to let the holidays come and go without much fan­ fare. After re-reading last years’ columns, I realized that some Christmas books had been neglected, probably because I thought everyone had read them. I checked the cards and found that several had not circulated in years. This column will serve as a reminder to those who have read them (many years ago) and an introduction to those who have somehow missed them. They truly are best loved books, stories and poems of Christmas. You wont forget them for a long time! A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. First published in 1843, this book has become one of the best loved Christmas stories. Miracle on 34th Street by Valentine Davies. The story of an old man who thinks he is Santa Claus. Especially at Christmas by Celestine Sibley. Short stories that emphasize that people are the most important, not things. The spirit of Christmas should involve gifts of people themselves. While the Angels Sing by Gladys Hasty Carroll. The Christmas spirit triumphs in this most difficult Christmas of all; the first since Selena's husband's death. Christmas Without Johnny by Gladys Hasty Carroll. The disappearance of a troublesome nineyear-old boy causes his parents, teachers and friends to reflect on how they have failed him and how much they miss him. Miracle in the Wilderness - A Christmas Story of Colonial America by Paul Gallico. An Indian raid surprises colonial settlers on Christmas Eve. Especially nice for fourth, fifth and sixth graders. Three Legends by Paul Gallico. Contains Miracle in the Wilderness, Ludmila and The Snow Goose. Excellent reading! Suitable for young readers. Homebook of Christmas edited by May Lamber­ ton Becker. Included are Christmas carols, poetry and short stores. One of the all time favorites. The Gift of the Magi by O Henry is found in this book. The Sister of the Angels by Elizabeth Goudge. Henrietta cannot wait for Christmas in her gran­ dfather's cathedral. The Nutcracker by Toshiko Yamanushi. Here is the story that inspired Tchaikovsky’s ballet, writ­ ten for children. Christmas Treasures produced by Hallmark Car­ ds. Contains Christmas verses, stories, carols, art and articles. Illustrations that will delight you! The Birds' Christmas Carol by Kate Douglas Wiggin. A beautiful, heartbreaking Christmas story you won’t forget Readers in the Junior High will especially appreciate it. The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Ander­ son Children everywhere remember this story about a little girl, whose light never fades. The Night Before Christmas by Clement Clark Moore. I’ve yet to meet a child that tires of this poem All of these are wonderful books. They can heighten the Christmas spirit and remind you of Christmases of yesterday All are time tested and still greatly loved. Merry Christmas!

Greetings from the Scouts Pete Hernandez. Scoutmaster, and the Scouts of Troop 65, Middleville, would like to wish the com­ munity a very Merry Christmas and a blessed new year. Woman's Whirl WITH JOANNE BOYSEN This is the time of year when I d like to forget all the everyday tasks that need doing and concentrate on the fun things. By the time the meals, dishes, cleaning, laundry, etc., get done. I run out of time, energy and enthusiasm for all the special projects and usually wind up saving them for "later.” ‘‘Later’’ often never arrives, and it is really hard to gift wrap good intentions. Perhaps my inability to follow through with so many of my ideas and projects gives me a better ap predation for those thoughtful people who can and do. A young friend of ours who lives in Oregon is just such a person. Last week we received a box from her addressed to the Boysen family. Inside the box. packed in damp newspapers, was a wreath made of green moss, decorated with tiny cones and strings of thin, colored beads. Surrounding the wreath was more moss, cedar and other evergreen boughs, and cuttings of the most beautiful fresh holly. All these things she had gathered in the woods, carefully packed and sent to us so that we could share a little of her part of this great country of ours. Many of you good cooks have shared treats from your kitchens with us already — cinnamon and fruit breads, cookies, candies. One. who knows how much we enjoy coffee, gave us a selection of exotic coffees to try along with all those goodies. Christmas day has not yet arrived, but the spirit of Christmas certainly has for us. We enjoy and ap predate that caring and sharing which is so much a part of Christmas. As we gather our families around us to observe the rituals and traditions which symbolize Christ­ mas, I hope that this one will be a special one to add to your storehouse of happy memories and brighten the year to come. May Christmas. 1983, be the best year and 1984 bring good things to you. urprise! Surprise!

Following the conversion, the three Associations will continue to operate as separate wholly-owned subsidiearies of the holding company under the direction of their present management and boards of directors. According to Charles G. Conville. Mutual Home president and chief Executive Officer, the conver­ sion will be accomplished through a stock offering of the holding company stock, first in a subscription rights offering to the depositors and borrowers of each Association, and then to the general public through a public offering. Proceeds of the offering will be used to expand the availability of loans and other products and services in the 26 communities the Associations are currently serving throughout central and southwestern Michigan. "We believe this type of conversion is a first. Conville said. "While we will operate as independent units, we also will be exploring how to maximize the collective strengths of our people and markets so as to better serve our constituencies. The holding com­ pany will be the catalyst to explore additional business opportunities including other acquisitions. The flexibility we will have under the holding com­ pany will maximize our synergies and position us for aggressive, profitable growth in this rapidly changing financial services industry. We believe it will greatly benefit our customers, com­ munities.employees and shareholders'*, he added. The total amount of stock to be issued and sold in the conversion will be determined based upon an appraisal of the aggregate pro-forma fair market value of the three Associations as subsidiearies of the holding company. The members of the initial board of directors of the holding company will be selected from the members of the present boards of the Associations. Mutual Home’s Conville will serve as president and chief operating officer for the holding company. Robert E. Clark, president of Capitol Federal Savings and Loan Association. Lansing, will serve as chairman of the board of the holding company. Norman P.

The holding company will represent combined assets of over $1.25 billion with 40 offices located in 26 communities. Mutual Home had September 30. 1983 total assets of $350 million with six Grand Rapids locations and offices in Holland, Jenison. Kentwood. Middleville. Rockford. Sparta, Walker and Belding. As of September 30, 1983. Capitol Federal had total assets of $440 million and has three offices in Lansing, and additional offices in DeWitt, East Lansing, Grand Ledge. Mason, Okemos, St. Johns.

Under the plan, protection is available to qualifying customers who agree to pay a budgeted amount toward their energy bills during the fourmonth December through March period and the balance during the remainder of the year. They must also agree to apply for state or federal heating assistance. If an eligible customer has already had his or her service shut off for nonpayment, the customer may have service restored without a fee or a security deposit if he or she seeks assistance through the plan. The program is available to customers who are below certain income levels, or are receiving government assistance of some kind (such as food stamps or Medicaid), and to those who are age 65 or older. “Customers who think they might be eligible for the program should call the phone number printed on their utility bill,” said Mabin. "People should be sure to make us aware of their problems. We can’t help unless they call.” Besides the Winter Protection Plan, other programs are available through governmental agen­ cies. For example, the Heating Assistance Program of the Michigan Department of Social Services provides shutoff protection from October through March. Information about this and ether gover­ nment assistance programs may be obtained by calling the state's toll-free Home Heating Assistan­ ce Hotline at 1-800-292-5650. R&^VISC REALTORS OF CALEDONIA PHONE 891-9219 ★ CALEDONIA WITH OFFICES IN CALEDONIA AND DUTTON, MICHIGAN FOR PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE SERVICE Henry Nyhult 891-1504 Tips on Farm Tax Management As the 1983 calendar year winds down, it is most appropriate and important to take a hard look at the farm financial picture from a tax management viewpoint. There is ample opportunity to make ad­ justments that may be beneficial to you as you at­ tempt to balance out your income and expenses. Dr. M.P.Kelsey, Extension specialist in Farm Management. MSU. provides us with a number of tax management tips A basic tax management guideline is to avoid wide fluctuations in taxable income, as a relatively uniform income from year to year results in the lowest income tax over time. Most of us recognize 1983 is not a normal year for farm income expenses. If you participated in the PIK program, expenses are lower than 1982. Also, be sure you are correctly interpreting the tax con­ sequences of your CCC loand and/or PIK payments. If 1983 will be a high income year, study the effec­ ts of income averaging on your tax situation. The ef­ fect will vary with your taxable income in the last four years. Depending on your tax situation, you may wish io reduce or increase net income for 1983. The following are some of best income eveners.: a) Buy or delay purchase of supplies such as fer­ tilizer. seed, farm supplies, small tools, repairs, etc. b) Pay in 1983 or delay payment to 1984 on real estate taxes and other annual bills (insurance premiums, real estate rental and interest cannot be paid for in advance to obtain an earlier tax deduc­ tion.) c) Watch the timing of sales of livestock and crops ready for market near the end of the year. Possibly they can be held for sale the next year at little cost. d) Some expenses are deductible as current year business expenses even though not made every year. These include minor repairs and improvements of machinery, painting of buildings, purchase of small tools and supplies, and weather limitations, cost of soil and water conservation expenses, and land clearing. It is important to get the job done and paid for before year’s end if you wish to reduce net income. e) Where capital purchases have been made, or can be made, study the new Accelerated Cost Recovery deduction carefully . Be aware Investment Credit also applies. Also be aware, dollare spent on investments are not as effective as cash expenses in reducing the current year’s taxes. Starting in 1983 the basis of assets on which investment tax credit has been taken must be reduced by 50% of the ITC taken or the ITC must be reduced by 2% (10% to 8% or 6% to 4%.« f) Pay your children wages for work actually per­ formed for the farm. If the child is under 19 or regularly enrolled in school, it can earn any amount and the parent can still claim an exemption for it if they pay over half the child’s support. g) Frequently unrecorded and forgotten expenses include: 1. Educational expenses which maintain or im­ prove your skills such as magazine subscriptions, books, fees at Extension or other agricultural organization meetings. 2. Travel expenses connected with your business, particularly if it includes meals and lodging. 3. Entertainment expenses when hosting others where the “predominate purpose” is the furthering of your farm business operation. Finally, sharpen up your pencil and calculator skills now to fully utilize these management tips. Also, it is not too early to contact your Cooperative Extension Service personnel to discuss the possibility of handling your 1984 farm records via the Telfarm computer program. The Kent County Cooperative Extension service is located at 836 Fuller NE. Grand Rapids, 774-3265. USE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS! PHONE 795-3345 �The Sun and News. Middleville. Mich. / December 22. 1983 Extension Service Offers Information on Solar Collector Capitol by Senator Dick Ponthum Michigan should adopt a strong “workfare" program which would require welfare recipients to perform public service jobs, attend school, or learn new work skills to receive benefits. There is strong opposition to Governor Blan­ chard’s 38% income tax increase. Voters overwhelmingly oppose Medicaid funding for abortion. And they also strongly favor putting more of their tax dollars toward increased law enforcement. Those are some of the results obtained from a six­ teen question opinion survey which I maled to the residents of my district this fall. Here are some of the findings from the survey: —Nearly 96 percent of those responding to the survey favored a “workfare” program that would require welfare recipients to perform public service jobs, attend school, or learn new work skills in order to receive their benefits. Only three percent op­ posed. The remainder had no opinion. —Governor Blanchard s 38% income tax increase was opposed by 77 percent, favored by 19 percent and four percent had no opinion. —And apparently if you had your way. Medicaid funding for abortions would be banned. It was op­ posed by 70 percent, favored by 23 percent and seven percent had no opinion. On the question of where tax monies should be allocated, 51 percent said more money needs to go to law enforcemtn, while only six percent said we need additional funds for Social Services. In addition, 41 percent said Social Services expenditures should be reduced; and 46 percent said less money should go to mass transit, while only 15 percent said more money should go to mass transit. I was most pleased with the number of responses and additional comments I received from the 86,000 legislative questionnaires which were mailed throughout the district. This survey provides me an opportunity to learn what the citizens in. my district are thinking. Your thoughts are most helpful in assisting me in voting on the many important issues which come before the Legislature. Most of the comments stressed no more tax in­ creases. It is also apparent there is a great hostility toward the welfare system in Michigan. People are frustrated over abuses and inefficiencies in the system and are not willing to pay more taxes only to see their hard-earned dollars being spent on more welfare. I appreciate the support you have given me during my first year as your State Senator. And I want to take this opportunity to wish each of you and yours a very happy holiday season and best wishes for a better 1984.

To be held is enormously therapeutic.” Researchers have also discovered that hugging can help you live longer, protect you against illness, cure depression and stress, strengthen family relationships and even help you sleep without pills. “Hugging is an excellent tonic," declared Dr. Harold Voth. senior psychiatrist at the prestigious Hanninger Foundation in Topeka. Kansas. “It has been shown scientifically that people who are men­ tally run-down and depressed are far more prone to sickness than those who are not. "Hugging can lift depression — enabling the body’s immune system to become tuned up. Hugging breathes fresh life into a tired body and makes you feel younger and more vibrant. “In the home, daily hugging will strengthen relationships and significantly reduce friction.” “I’m convinced that the tender embrace can prevent or cure a host of different problems.” said Dr. Robert Rynearson. who is chairman of the psychiatry department at Scott and White Clinic in Temple, Texas. "A hug can gave an astonishing therapeutic effect by providing a sense of companionship and hap­ piness.” “Researchers discovered that when a person is touched the amount of hemoglobia in their blood in­ creases significantly,” said Helen Colton, author of the forthcoming “The Joy of Touching.” “Hemoglobin is a part of the blood that carries vital supplies of oxygen to all organs of the body — including the heart and brain. An increase in homoglobin tones up the whole body, helps prevent disease and speeds recovery from illness. “My 15 years of research have convinced me that regular hugging can actually prolong life by curing harmful depression and stimulating a stronger will to live.” Pamela McCoy, R.N. who trains nurses at Grant Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, said, “We found that people who are hugged or touched can often stop taking medication to get to sleep.” “The warm, meaningful embrace can have a very positive effect on people, particularly during times of widespread stress and tension like today,’’ Dr. Voth added. “Hug your spouse, your children, close friends or relatives. If you live alone, the warm embrace with a friend whenever you meet is just as beneficial. It’s a marvelous way to improve the quality of your life. ” “Sometimes I just take out my prescription pad,” Dr. Bresler said, “and then I write out a prescrip tion for four hugs a day — one at breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtimp ” Dr. Anderson SALUTES NOVEMBER PATIENTS OF THE MONTH" Matt Doorn bos Holly Doornbos Jessica Pratt Jayma Sc hut for their efforts in attaining ex cellent oral health TOE HAPPY TOOTH HOHOR ROLL Tony Coulter Don Klump Lori Klump Tom Klump Ken Klump Rob Kenyon Mike Lytle Tina Williams JimVsnHouten Jeff VanHouten Mike Millhouse Gloria Schleh Debbie Schleh Ken Schleh 15 Kent Enyart Coleman Mike Carvsro Jr. Heather Brav Ruth Caton Mtke Kaecheie John DeR»OOer Ann Fredenberg Wes Rosenberg John Fredenberg Doug Manage Sandy McAiary Kathy Doombos Tony Plants J«m Baughman Bev Swanson Darrell Baughman Marty Bud David Ramey Randy Patmer Dav(d Phdhp Hoffman Amy Srwder Vicki Hyatt LuAnn Srwder John ^y^ Mike Schbewe Ron Mugndge Haru Davis Justtn McHoskey ♦ Beer, Mix, Snacks and Lunch Are Furnished.

(PEACE ON (EARTH In hundreds of countries, in thousands of dialects, people are announcing Christmas. In every culture it will be the children who are the most excited. They will lead us in marking this day with special events and programs. The child in all of us should respond to the simple news: Jesus is bom! This is not a day for speculation or argument; it is a day for simple acknowledgment and unrestrained joy. Today let us join with people all over the world in singing these words from a familiar carol: "O Savior, we greet Thee, bom this happy morning; O Jesus, to Thee be all glory given. Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing. O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.” As we are among family and friends today, let each of us tell of a way that our world is dif­ ferent because of the presence of Jesus. And let us spend a little time sharing with others the difference the arrival of Jesus has made in our own lives. Doing so will make us sing and celebrate the more. ** “To God be the glory, great things He has done!” Roetman Funeral Chapel Caledonia, MI Charles Roetman Director Phone 891-8155 Freeport, MT Charles Roetman, Director D.

Remember the plaques you’ve seen that say “Lord, give me patience, and I want it now!” .. about now I ’d like to absorb large quantities of patience — for myself — so there would be no hurry to buy this last-minute thing, or that forgotten item, or make one more batch of cookies or candy, or add one more ornament to the tree. But time to sit with a small child and watch his or her face as they behold the won­ ders of a decorated tree ... and time to see a Sunday School program, listening to the words rather than noticing which child is clowning backstage ... time to listen to the beautiful Christmas carols and just let the music sink in ... time to say “Happy Birthday Jesus • thank you." This is mostly a week of anticipation - we Bremers are looking forward to having our children home for Christmas on Sunday after­ noon. Only there’s the small item of a baby who may decide that’s the best day of the year to be bom (and who can argue with that?). We hope by the time we write Prairie Sketches in January there will be a new little Bremer up in Shepherd to tell about.

The snow lays beautifully clean and un­ mussed, and Monday when the temperatures were down to minus fifteen, the smoke from the chimneys went straight up. Pure serenity. Have a good holiday. Closer to home, we invite all to pass by, or stop at, the living nativity scene that is located at the Middleville Doctors office on M-37.

Local 1002 Members at Middleville has set the stage for a broad modernization of the plant here, according to Dick Milock, Vice President and General Manager. On December 21, Union members voted by a margin of more than 4 to 1 to accept a new contract offered by the Company, even though the previous contract was not due to expire until August 24 of the next year. The new contract will run until August 21, 1987. Local 1002 represents more than 500 production and maintenance employees at Mid­ dleville. “We’re delighted to have this commitment from our employees,” Milock said. “It lets us begin our modernization program with the confidence that it will pay off for all of us in the years ahead. ” Dick said that Bradford-White plans to spend about one and one quarter million dollars on the plant during 1984 as part of a three to five million dollar renovation program to be carried out during the next five years. He said this money did not in­ clude the amounts recently spent to build a new warehouse and office addition in Middleville. “We have an urgent need to replace our glass lining furnace.” Dick explained. “It’s a major un­ dertaking - and it provides an excellent opportunity to start other major improvements at the same time. To permit us to do the entire job right, we asked the Union membership to give us a commit­ ment now rather than wait until next August. And they responded. ” Company and Union Negotiating Committees met six times between December 8 and December 20 to develop a new contract. Union membership then ap­ proved the contract on the 21st. Colled 38 Pints At Bloodmobile Despite Cold Snow Thirty eight people braved the snow and cold to be blood donors on December 28. Bernard Wieringa received a 6-gallon pin.

Mike DeLuca, Bradford-White President, said “the contract promises a new era of growth for the Company. The plant improvement program marks a major commitment by the Company to Middleville — and the new labor contract is a major commit­ ment by our people to Bradford-White. When the ef­ fects of the renovation begin to be felt, we ll be in a better competitive situation than we’ve ever been. ” Teachers Agree To Extend Pac At Caledonia Caledonia Superintendent of Schools Dr. Stan Fortuna announced this week that a tentative agreement has been reached with the teaching staff, extending the current contract for the year of 198586.

S, 1983 Boysenberries Fruitful Thots from The Editor DON BOYSEN THE YEAR HAS ARRIVED! 1984 is here and we don't mean the Year of Big Brother, ala George Orwell’s famous novel. We mean the 1984 of Mid­ dleville’s Sesquicentennial. By the time September rolls around and the community celebrates the 150th founding of Middleville, you all may be sick of hearing that word “Sesquicentennial.” Most people have trouble pronouncing the word. This stems from the fact that you try to say it in one breath. Sesquicentennial cannot be pronounced without sounding like you were saying a whole sen­ tence. If you break it down, it’s quite simple: Seskwee-cen-ten-i-al. There, doesn’t that make it easier! Or, you can do like Rod Kenyon does. “Oh, the h-1 with it! Our hundred and fiftieth birthday!" Middleville he stopped and surveyed the area. "Yep, this is it!" he exclaimed to his wife. “Look at this little valley to the river. It'll make a good place to lay out a town.” “What are we going to call it?” Mrs. Hill asked. “Middleville, of course,” the good squire replied. “Middleville? Why ever did you choose that name?” “Simple." he said. "It’s located middle way bet­ ween Parmalee and Irving." ★★★ You may have to put up with this craziness for the whole year of 1984. We do plan to have some serious historical stuff, so you had better not miss a single issue. As a matter of fact we need to get something straight right now. We find that entirely too many people are sharing this newspaper. Can you believe that! One guy subscribes to the paper and it gets passed around in the entire neighborhood. It’s so well read because it’s so available. May we urge that every reader become a bonafide subscriber. No more of this passing the Sun and News around will be allowed.

Can publically chastised. (For those folks buying the you imagine how it probably looked to him and his paper on the news stand, don’t worry. We have kinfolk back then. He probably traveled by wagon special dispensation for you). Remember, this is 1984 and Big Brother is wat­ or oxcart. Maybe he came down the river. At any rate when he got to what is now the village limits of ching YOU! ★★* at your Public Library by CHRIS BOYSEN Public Library Assistant How many of you see the advertisements for the new movies and think how good they look, and you are going to make a point of seeing them? How many do you actually see? By the time I get around to attending a special show it has moved out of the area. The last movie I actually went to see in a theater was E.T. More than a dozen have looked especially intriguing since then, but for some reason I miss them. I’m sure others have missed shows due to hectic schedules and nasty weather. Why don’t you read the book if you can’t attend the movie? Most movies were exceptionally good books before they became films. Most of the time I find the books much more entertaining than the films. Reading the books offers these advantages: they stimulate your mind, you can return to a book if interruptions hap­ pen, thus fitting your busy schedule easier, and if you take advantage of the Public Library, reading a book is much cheaper. Here are some books that have inspired major motion pictures. Most are currently playing in this area. The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe. The heroic Americans in Space are competing with the Russians for control over outer space. Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat. The author’s account of his adventures with a family of wolves in the Canadian wilderness. The Book of Daniel by E. L. Doctorow. Told from the perspective of a young man whose parents are being executed after being convicted of conspiring to steal atomic secrets. Cross Creek by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. Descriptions of the remote area in Florida, the characters and the way of life in this tiny hamlet make this story special. Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury. A fantasy written about two young boys who believe a carnival is coming to their small town. Except this carnival is unusual; the carousels run backward, there are no carnival workers, and the carnival is in October instead of the usual summer months. Rumble Fish by S. E. Hinton. This is the story of a tough gang leader and how he grows up. Christine by Stephen King. The central character in this book is Christine, a 1958 Plymouth Fury. Is it their imagination or has Christine developed a terrible life of her own? You Only Live Twice and The Man With the Golden Gun by Ian Fleming. The author of the Bond movies has produced a new story; Never Say Never Again (which is not a book yet). His antics are just as fun to read about as watch on the big screen. Some stories are worthy of both reading the book and attending the movie. If I had to choose between the book and the movie, except in rare circumstan­ ces, it would be an easy choice. I’d much rather be in an easy chair with a fresh bowl of popcorn, reading. OBITUARIES SARAH J. JOHNSON Mrs. Sarah J. Johnson, aged 90, of Middleville, passed away Thursday morning, December 22. 1983.

I love the planning and expectations, but very glad to settle back to our own routine. That’s one of the joys of being a grandparent - they go home before you get too sick of them. Doug and Liz Hart and family had Christmas in Portland with her family with 26 in attendance. Then I believe they got together with family in Hastings on the 18th. Or did I reverse that? Oh me.

Guess I'm getting too lazy to drive such a distance for 3 days, then turn around and go straight back in one shot. Johnny grins and says you never used to mind traveling so long in one shot. I wonder if he's intimating I’m getting a little more settled down - or older, or both? The Rod Finkbeiners had all the Finkbeiners over for Christmas, as well as their immediate family. Then on to Art and Ann Kenyons for another celebration. Margaret Abbott said they spent a quiet weekend babysitting the grandkids. Most of their family were home for Christmas.

Rose said when they came home and saw all those cars, she wondered which youngster was having a party without her permission. Friends as well as family were on hand to help celebrate. Talked to Gladys Briggs. She’s going back into St. Marys Tuesday. They found trouble with her heart but sent her home for the holidays and will continue the work afterwards.

What this means is that, just having learned new district lines and new Representatives from the last election, we start all over and begin the whole process again. I detailed the whole recall and reapportionment issue in my last column, so Til not dwell any further on that. Suffice it to say that I did not support the reapportionment plan. I see the Democrats in­ sistence on redistricting the state to assure long­ term control as a clear abuse of partisan political power. Concerning our 88th District, which now consists of all of Ionia County and all but two townships in Barry County, the new district will include all of Barry County, the southern half of Ionia County, three eastern townships in Allegan County and one township in Kent County. The last year has been a regrettable one for Michigan taxpayers. First their income taxes in­ creased 38 percent and then the Governor proposed a budget calling for more than a 12 percent increase in spending. Now lawmakers have completed a fall legislative session which accomplished almost nothing because of political maneuvering and the Governor s refusal to end the problem. I hope that in 1984 the Legislature can put this patisan wrangling aside and get back to the business of restoring Michigan’s economy. LANSING DAIRY BY PAUL HILLEGONDS, 54th Dist. State Representative Reapportionment: Fair Was Not Good Enough For the third time in as many years, the boun­ daries of the 54th District — and all Michigan legislative districts — will be changing. The original purpose of “reapportionment" — mandated by the U. S. Supreme Court — was to fur­ ther the one person-one vote principle. Each state was to initiate a process by which legislative district boundaries would be adjusted after every ten-year census. Thus, each legislator would represent ap­ proximately the same number of persons. Usually the reapportionment process is highly partisan. The political party in control will try to draw the legislative map in a way that insures con­ tinuing power for another decade. Last year, however, our state was spared “par­ tisanship as usual”. The Michigan Supreme Court declared unconstitutional the state’s system of redrawing legislative boundaries and appointed a neutral arbitrator to recommend to the court a new map. That individual was instructed to honor, if possible, county boundary lines when shaping legislative districts. To make this possible, the court indicated it would accept a population deviation of about 16% between the largest and smallest distric­ ts — the maximum permitted by the U. S. Supreme Court. The result in 1982 was a map of relatively square boundary lines. To their dismay, Democrats had lost the opportunity to “gerrymander” — to devise a jigsaw puzzle map that would guarantee their majority status, even in bad political years. The plan was basically fair, however. Last year Democrats won control of the House and Senate anyway — because it was a strong year for the Democratic party at the polls. But fair was not good enough. With total control of state government, the majority party in 1983 decided to undo the 1982 plan. Democrats claimed to be concerned about the one-person-one vote prin­ ciple. In fact, their new map still maintains a sizeable population deviation of 10%. The leader­ ship also is claiming that it has passed up the oppor­ tunity to “gerrymander” in order to preserve bi­ partisan cooperation during the coming year. In truth, the map has been modified to strengthen existing incumbent officeholders. In the House, at least, this “compromise” should insure Democratic domination for the rest of the decade. And the people? The people are stuck with new jigsaw districts that carve up counties and cities. Now it will be more difficult to throw out the party in control when citizens are unhappy with the direc­ tion in which the legislative majority is taking the state. We also are burdened with a new precedent as to how districts are to be reapportioned — by in­ cumbent officeholders whose decisions directly af­ fect their own political future. I only hope people will remember this fiasco and do something about it — like supporting a ballot proposal to establish a new and more just process for reapportionment.

Tax Rate Changes Although the Social Security tax rate for em­ ployees and employers will increase from 6.7 to 7 percent for 1984, the effective tax rate for em­ ployees will remain at the 1983 level. Robert Fleminger, Social Security district manager in Grand Rapids said recently. This is because employees have been given a one­ time 0.3 percent credit against the 1984 tax rate, Fleminger said. As a result, employees whose ear­ nings are the same in 1984 as they were in 1983 will see no increase in the amount of Social Security taxes withheld from wages. In 1984, Social Security taxes will be paid on an­ nual earnings up to $37,800, the maximum that counts for Social Security. The 1983 maximum was $35,700. The 1984 Social Security tax rate for selfemployed people will be 14 percent, double the rate paid by employees. But, Fleminger said, selfemployed people will receive a credit of 2.7 percent of self-employment income, resulting in an effective tax rate of 11.3 percent. The 1983 self-employment tax rate was 9.35 percent. More information about Social Security can be ob­ tained at the Grand Rapids Social Security office, located in the Calder Plaza Building at 250 Monroe, N.W. Phone 456-2241. When You've Got a Family to Think About... People Demand More from Legislators It was a very interesting year. Many seasoned legislators and Lansing insiders say there has never been a year like this one in Lansing. First, there was the 38% lax increase — one of the most unpopular government decisions in the history of Michigan. Then came months where the Democratic-controlled Legislature passed almost no measures of substance. Finally, the year ended on a positive note as a bi­ partisan legislative apportionment plan passed the Legislature, followed by major tax relief for small businesses who pay the Single Business Tax. In between the 38% tax. increase and the single business tax relief, we saw a temporary \ outh Cor­ ps jobs program which wa^of some merit. However, I am extremely disappointed that our legislative agenda for Michigan, a state that needs special help to join in the country’s economic recovery, went almost untouched by Democratic hands. In spite of all the meritorious programs that died on the vine due to lack of enthusiasm and support on the part of the majority party, they did manage to devote an inordinate amount of time and money on the re-drawing of election district lines and other issues like it that were political rather than substan­ tive. The Strategic Fund, Governor Blanchard’s jconomic incentive plan, is still in conference com­ mittee. tied up because the majority party wants to require that union-level wages be paid on all gover­ nment projects created. The mandatory seat belt legislation did not see final action, nor did the override of the Governor’s veto on Medicaid-funded abortions, nor the ban on surrogate parenting and other controversial issues. We did not establish the amount of the Governor’s budget surplus — or just what we re going to do about it when the tally does come in. A number of comprehensive Republican-initiated programs dealing with agriculture and forestry, school funding, and educational reform and business incentives are still languishing in committee Perhaps the only encouraging word about this legislative session is that we do have another year to act on some of the legislation that has been offered, and there is still hope for pulling it out of the fire yet. . t The people of Michigan are demanding more of their legislators — and they’re becoming extremely vocal and active in their demands and expressions of displeasure. It’s time we gave them what they want - a hard working Legislature that is willing to stop playing politics long enough to accomplish worthy legislative goals. ,. _ I hope the signs of cooperation, which finally showed up on the last day of session, will be an in­ dicator of what 1984 holds.

M I Jan. 5. 19S4 Gun Lake Festival To Open Jan. 27 With Torch Parade Friday night, January 27, the 3rd Annual Gun Lake Winter Festival will open with a glittering tor­ chlight parade of snowmobilers and skiers crossing the ice of Gun Lake to converge on its West Shore. Snowmobilers will gather at three points on the east, south and north sides of the lake, then follow a designated leader to a meeting spot on the West Shore near the Gun Lake Inn. Another group con­ sisting of cross country skiers will rally (at a point yet to be determined) to also converge near the Gun Lake Inn. The entire parade will then proceed to the Gun Lake Sno-Mobile Club where those who wish to do so may attend the official Gun Lake Winter Festival Dance. Snowmobilers (and skiers who feel up to a longer sojourn) rallying at the State Park prior to the Tor­ chlight parade will participate in a ceremony igniting the Festival Torch which will remain lit during the three days of activities. Skiers and snowmobilers alike are asked to supply their own ’ torches” which actually are flashlights. A cone of white paper taped to the top of the flashlight will give the torch appearance. “We want to be sure that everyone understands there are to be no open flame torches, ” Ron Carlson, Winter Festival co-chairperson said. “Only battery operated types will be allowed.” Anyone interested in participating in the Tor­ chlight Parade • and especially any snowmobile "leaders” familiar with the lake • are asked to con­ tact Carlson. The tentative time for the event is 8 p.m. Friday, January 27. Participants are also being sought for Saturday s parade which will form at the Yankee Springs cam­ pground and travel the length of the park's penin­ sula. “We have already heard from a number of businesses and groups who intend to enter floats. We re still looking for more,” Carlson said. Interested persons may contact Ron Carlson (7929552) or write the Gun Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, 2404 Patterson Road, Gun Lake, Shelbyville, MI 49344.

Ml / Jan. 12.1984 /------------------------------------------------------ Woman's Whirl at your Public Library by JOANNE BOYSEN by CHRIS BOYSEN Public Library Assistant Last year about this time I wrote a column on AllAmerican pastimes known as hobbies. Since hobbies are as numerous and varied as personal interests. I think an additional column is warranted. This year I will try to include some new hobbies. Perhaps you would like to expand your horizons. Maybe you are getting bored with your current projects. There is no lack of ideas if you know where to look. Remem­ ber - if you use library materials you not only get new and varied ideas, but you get them free! One of the hobbies that has enjoyed a welldeserved revival is that of quilting. A beautiful new addition to our collection is Creative American Quilting Inspired by the Bible by Payne and Murwin. Directions for such quilts as “Tree of Life,”. “Jacob’s Ladder.” and “The Dove” are included. All of them look like masterpieces when finished. Carving Faces and Figures in Wood by E. J. Tangerman offers some creative suggestions for those people who are good with their hands. Crochet Workshop by James Walters offers a down-to-earch discussion of every aspect of crocheting. Advice on planning, sketching and adapting to make the finished product exactly what you want is abundant. Collecting antiques has been a favorite hobby for many people and is gaining in popularity. It's almost impossible for a person to be indifferent when they realize just how much antiques are wor­ th. Things that were buried in closets all of a sudden have a place of honor. If you have just become in­ terested in antiques, two valuable sources of infor­ mation are Kovel's Know Your Antiques and Kovel's Know Your Collectibles both by Ralph and Terry Kovel. They explain how to collect, store and protect the antiques. Pictures and descriptions of everything from bottles, porcelain, jewelry, toys, clocks, store containers to furniture are provided. Both books were published in 1981 so they are as current as possible. Don’t you wish that you had taken better care of the toys you owned as a child? It would be fun to have a favorite doll or truck from childhood. After skimming through The Official 1984 Price Guide to Collectible Toys by The House of Collectibles, Inc., I found that it would not only be fun but profitable as well. How many of these toys and games are you familiar with? Another hobby that is enjoying increasing popularity is record collecting. I could have made a small fortune if I had kept all of my old albums and kept them in good condition. Perhaps you have a collection and would like to estimate its worth. The official 1983 Price Guide to Records has over 31,000 listings for: Rock n Roll, Country and Western, Pop, Hard Rock and Easy Listening records. The listings are divided between albums, 45's and EP’s (extended play). Prices are provided depending on whether the record is in very good condition or mint condition. Whether your hobby is collecting or creating, remember that January is hobby month. What a sense of accomplishment we feel when we add an elusive piece to our collection or create something beautiful. The Real You Children who dress up in their parents’ clothes aren’t hypocrites. They are just saying what they’d like to be. People who go to church don’t mean to pretend. They are simply trying to become more like their Savior and Model, Jesus. Join us. Together we can grow into the clothes that may look funny on us now. Caledonia Christian Reformed Church MORNING - 9:30 im.

Mike Schipper left on Sunday for Washington D.C. for this next semester. He has a grant and will be working in the Capitol Building. Jim Schipper is now attending Calvin College. Last week Kathy Bracy attended the funeral of her great uncle in Lapeer. Terry's Grandpa Bowen and some other relatives came for a visit on Satur­ day. Each year when we come to this “slow” part of winter, I go looking back into the old newspapers to find out what was going on, say 20 years ago. and find the world was as lethargic then as it is now — or should I say ‘hibernating.’ Barb Bender has been spending most of her free time visiting her father, Harold Terpstra. who in­ terrupted his winter in New Mexico to return here for surgery last week.

They are juniors Jayne Courts and Mike Schipper and freshman James ‘window quilt’ for a particularly breezy east win­ dow. If it’s not finished before winter is, it will be Schipper. ready for next year! Today I packed away the last of the Christmas decorations - some candles, crocheted snowflakes and a few other items we weren’t quite ready to retire for the year. I took the pine cones out of the table centerpiece, spread them with peanut butter and tied them to the Christmas tree that Don set up on the deck for the birds. I also sat down with the basket of Christmas cards and letters and read them all again. I think the holidays really are over for us, and. while this year was very different from our years in the big house on the comer (yes, we do miss it, especially at Christmas) we felt very fortunate to have all our family home. Home really is where the heart is. After all the activity and excitement of the holidays, January seems both a letdown and a respite. There are so many projects I've saved until "after Christmas,” but I’m having some difficulty summoning the energy and enthusiasm to get going on them. It's a great temptation to spend as much time as possible curled up with a blanket and a good book. However, we are trying to look ahead to coming events, and one of the biggest of the year, probably many years, for Middleville will be the celebration of the Sesquicentennial in the fall. It will be a time of reminiscing, reviewing the histqry of the area and celebrating our heritage. There is a possibility that we may even manage to get a special cookbook ready. What do you think of that idea, and do you have recipes to include - special ones that have been in the family for years or something you think should be around for the next 150 years?! Send your thoughts, ideas, recipes, helpful hints, etc., to me in care of The “Sun and News.” McFall Students of the Week JI Kindergarten - Jason VanElst First Grade - Chad Foster Second Grade - Deanna Reed Third Grade - Seth Nelson Fourth Grade - Lisa Einberger Fifth Grade - Steve Van Duine /------------------------------------- Northwest Thornapple with HAZEL LUND Steve and Sandy Cargill and daughter Tammy en­ joyed the dog sled races at Johnson Park Sunday af­ ternoon.

Close the draperies or shades when the sun is no longer warming the glass - it will help insulate the window area. Check furnace filters once a month. Replacing dir­ ty filters is a fast job - if you have extra filters on hand. Even if your furnace is equipped with per­ manent filters, keep the throw-away kind around to use in the furnace while the permanent filters are being washed and dried. In warm weather they can be cleaned with a hose on the driveway • use the laundry tub after the hose is put away for the win­ ter. Take a few minutes to trim the shrubbery near a heat pump. Landscaping may hide a unit but it also can reduce essential air movement. If leaves and twigs from nearby plants are sucked into the heat pump, they can cause damage. Don’t let snow pile up around your heat pump. Close the overhead doors of an attached garage •ven if you might be going out again in the next half-hour. After the fireplace is out. close the damper. Set up a regular annual schedule with your fur­ nace service dealer to check your heating system. Equipment that is running at its best uses less energy whether it is gas. oil or electricity. Install plastic film to the inside of windows. Hid­ den behind curtains or shades, plastic film helps reduce heat loss. As your heating service dealer about a thermostat timer. If prospects of returning home to a cold house have prevented you from turning down the heat while gone all day, such a timer could solve the problem. It also can turn the thermostat down at night. Cover unused electrical outlets with the type of plugs used to prevent children from playing with outlets. These caps will keep heat from escaping. Caulk windows and doors. This should be an an­ nual event. Insulate all duct work not located in the occupied part of the house, including the ducts in the attic and crawl space. If you are making major changes in your home, such as remodeling a kitchen or replacing the heating and cooling system, BDP suggests these additional measures you can take.

I have devoted the last two “In Touch” columns to reapportionment so I’ll not dwell on it further. Suffice it to say, I did not support, nor vote for the plan. However, now that it has passed, I am hopeful that it will solve the political stalemate that paralyzed the Legislature in the last weeks of 1983. In addition to the redistricting plan, the final hours of the legislative session saw us pass some other important measures. They included: —Expanded tax credits for about 40,000 small businesses that pay Michigan’s business tax. —A jobs and employment-training (workfare) program for welfare recipients. —A previously budgeted home heating assistance package to aid poor people with their utilities bills and make funds available for low-income families who need to insulate their homes. As debate continues over the state s surplus for the last fiscal year, the discussion should not cloud a more important issue: the expanding level of state spending in Michigan. After the 38% income tax increase was passed early last year, we adopted a budget that increased spending more than 12%. Such spending doesn't en­ courage economic growth or investment in Michigan. Our state's infra-structure threatens to crumble while the government refused to change its spending priorities. Social Service control nearly 34% of all state expenditures while school aid amounts to just 16.6%. Michigan has accumulated a massive debt because of a spending rate which continues to ex­ pand. Unless those spending patterns are changed, the state’s finances will not improve even with in­ creased taxes. The public outcry against higher taxes and big budgets demonstrates that we must hold the line on government expansion, and I will work to maintain current spending levels, or reduce them in the coming year. LANSING DAIRY BY PAUL HILLEGONDS, 54th Dist. State Representative The regular meeting of the Thornapple Township Board was held December 12.1983.

With no further business appearing, upon motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was adjour­ ned at 9:05 p.m. Donna Kenyon. Clerk Outline Legislative Action in Fall Session During the 1983 fall session, the House approved a significant number of bills. Most issues were noncontroversial. however. Hotly debated legislation was either sent back to committee, or stalled in the Senate because of fears caused by the recall of two Senators. Here are the highlights of issues con­ sidered by the House and how I voted: Re-apportionment. The effort to change legislative district boundaries for the second time in two years paralyzed the Capitol for a month. The compromise, now law, protects incumbents and in­ sures Democratic domination of the House for the rest of the decade. I vehemently opposed the bill. Mandatory Seat Belts. I supported legislation requiring motorists in Michigan to buckle up. Overwhelming evidence indicates that wearing seat belts saves lives, reduces injuries, and cuts medical and insurance costs. Also, similar laws in other nations have substantially increased seat belt usage. Because of its controversial nature, however, the bill was sent back to committee. Civil-Rights for Homosexuals. I joined the House in voting to send this measure back to committee. The proposal would amend the Civil Rights Law to prohibit discrimination against homosexual persons in housing, employment, education, and public ac­ commodations. I believe this legislation must be modified so that it clearly does not protect homosexual conduct or advocacy. However, a per­ son whose homosexual orientation existed at birth or was formed in the earliest years of infancy should not be denied the chance to deal with his or her problem for fear of losing a job or housing. Surrogate Parenting. Another controversial House bill referred back to committee would have regulated the practice of surrogate parenting. This involves a contract between a couple that cannot have children and a woman who agrees to be ar­ tificially inseminated with the sperm of the childless father. Voting to regulate this arrangement, in ef­ fect, would have legalized it. I opposed the regulatory proposal because there were too many legal and moral questions about surrogate paren­ ting which the bill left unanswered. Repealing the Presidential Primary. In 1984. Republicans are expected to unite around President Reagan, and national Democratic Party rules will disregard the results of Michigan primary in selec­ ting delegates to their national convention. Under the same party rules in 1980, few Democrats par­ ticipated in the Michigan presidential primary and only 13.6% of all registered voters actually voted. Considering the $5 million price tag for what would be little more than a “beauty contest”, I voted to repeal the presidential primary. Delegates in 1984 will be selected by party conventions at the county and state levels. Conservation Corps. I voted for a $2.6 million program to emply 500 able-bodied young persons, ages 18 to 25, who currently are receiving welfare assistance. The minimum-wage jobs would involve conservation and maintenance projects in our state game areas and parks. This proposal awaits Senate action, though the rest of a $43 million workfare and energy relief measure for welfare recipients — which I also supported — was sent to the Governor for his signature. Auto Lemons. This house-passed bill, if the Senate concurs, will allow the consumer to seek through arbitration the replacement or refund of a new passenger vehicle if: 1) the vehicle has been in the shop for the same major repair four or more times and/or 2) it has been in the repair shop 30 or more days during the first 12,000 miles or the first year, whichever is earlier, i voted yes. Pre-Natal care for Teens. In 1982 in Michigan there were 319 births to females under the ages of 15. and 17,344 births to females aged 15 to 19. More than 15% of these mothers received little or no pre­ natal or pregnancy-related services — resulting too often in complications at childbirth and develop­ mental problems for the newborn children. To remove one barrier to obtaining pre-natal care, the House passed legislation enabling pregnant minors to receive medical aid for themselves and their children without parental authorization. However, physicians would not be prohibited from advising the minor's parents about medical treatment they believe is necessary. My vote: yes. PCB Silos. In 1983, the Department of Agriculture ruled that a number of farm silos coated with a substance containing PCB’s could no longer be used to store crops. Recently signed into law was a bill which will provide for the condemnation of those silos and fair market compensation by the state to affected farmers. Another House-passed measure would make available low-interest loans for the replacement of silos, which will likely cost more than farmers end up receiving in condemnation awards. I voted for both measures. Sales Tax Pre-payment. After much negotiation by the Taxation Committee, I supported a com­ promise package to require the payment of the sales tax on gasoline by wholesalers and dealers when they receive their supply rather than at the time of sale Though this will initially hurt dealers cash flow, most supported the measure. The reason: prepayment should stop the chiseling by some dealers who are illegally undercutting the pump prices of honest dealers.

It s Easy Have you ever thought of bringing your own brown bags from your closet collection when you go grocery shopping? Many people are doing it now and it is another way to recycle and save resources. D&W Food Chain offers a financial incentive to customers who bring their own used grocery bags, thus demonstrating their commitment to recycling. For every bag a customer brings in when shopping. D&W will punch a hole in the customer’s "Save-ASack” card. After fifty holes are punched, the customer is given $1.50. Bringing in our own grocery bags to reuse when shopping and encouraging our local grocery stores to adopt policies similar to D&W’s are good ways to save resources and promote recycling. Some people prefer to shop the European way. bringing reusable cloth tote bags or cardboard boxes to take their groceries home in. Excess brown bags can also be brought to the Caledonia Foods Recycling site on M-37 and placed in the green newspaper bins while recycling your glass and metal. Glass must be washed clean and separated at the site by color (clear, green and brown only). Labels to not have to be removed from glass. Clean, flattened tin cans and aluminum (labels removed) can also be brought to this site. Properly prepared glass and metal can also be taken to the Middleville recycling site behind the Middle Mart on M-37 and the Hastings Recycling site located in the fire station parking lot on Mill and Michigan. Metal in Hastings and Middleville must be separated (aluminum in separate barrels from tin cans).

Just edging out Wyoming Park 143 to 140, the Trojans took 2 individual championships, placed three 2nds, had two 3rds and two 4th place finishes. Nathan Briggs got back to winning form, picking up three pins on the way to the 185 pound cham­ pionship. Nathan pinned Joel Henk of Grand Rapids Christian in the finals. At Heavyweight, Jeff Wohl ford moved his record to a very fine 15-2 with 14 pins, as he pinned Trandy Bigger of East Kentwood in 2:45 in the finals. Del Craven at 112 made it to the finals before dropping an 8-3 decision to Robert Vincent of Byron Center. At 145 lbs., Randy Winchester had a pin and a win before being edged 6-5 by Kevin Anderson of EK. A pin and a win put Mark Lloyd into the 198 lb. finals, dropping a 6-2 decision to John Carter of Grand Rapids Christian. 98 pound freshman Wade Poland recorded his 13th win of the season while finishing 3rd. Terry Sensiba got a :27 second pin in the con­ solation finals to place 3rd at 126 lbs. The TK wrestlers also added points with 4th place finishes from Jack Posthumus 105 and Don Porter 119.

Kelloggsville, who two weeks ago placed 3rd out of 21 teams in the Kent County Invitational, lead 23-14 before wins by Paul Ordway at 155 and Scott Kaminski at 167 provided TK with a 25-23 advan­ tage.

Some say they’d like to be rock stars, but they never get around to learning to play the guitar. Others dream of making a million in the computer industry; the only trouble is, their computer know-how is limited to psyching out video 'games at the local arcade. “Adolescence has always been troubling for some young people." says Tufts University psychologist David Elkind, “but what's scary about the apathy we’re seeing today is that there are fewer sur­ vivors.” The statistics are ominous: •The teenage suicide rate has tripled in the past 20 years, reports the American Association of Suicidology in Denver. •Hospitalization rates for depression among adolescents is on the increase, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. •The number of grown children who continue living with parents rather than striking out on their own climbed to a whopping 20 million in 1982, up 4 million from 1979, according to the Census Bureau. Moreover, the malaise seems to affect some of the best and brightest. Like Tim Billing, 18, of San Francisco. Educated at some of the finest private schools in the East, Tim started cutting classes “more or less around ninth grade,” he says. Now he works as a janitor for a San Francisco dentist and attends a few classes at an alternative school — but only those he likes. Tim doesn't have a high school diploma and isn’t close to getting one, although when he does attend classes - as he did with algebra and photography - he gets A’s easily. If Tim is uncertain about why he persists in being what he calls “a nowhere man,” his dreams for the future, like those of other adolescents seemingly mired in motivational quicksand, are equally vague. He “hopes things get better." What he wants to do someday is “be powerful and influential and make change in the world for good.” It’s not lack of intellectual skills that creates the Counselor's Corner by BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counselor -/ Information in this article is taken from an article by Norma Peterson in USA Today - Nov. 8,1983. Teenage Apathy Some say it’s the lack of parental discipline. Others blame drugs. Or the economy. Or the threat of nuclear war. Or the decline of the schools. Whatever the cause, experts in adolescent behavior are seeing an increasing number of young people who are deprssed, bored and unable to think realistically about the future. Today’s society is producing “a huge group of adolescents who are unequipped to make the tran­ sition from late childhood to self-sufficient young adulthood.” says psychologist Elaine Moor, direc­ tor of an intervention program at Ada S. McKinley Community Services in Chicago. Moor, who has worked with adolescents for 15 years, says she has seen a startling increase in depression and apathy in the past five years. The symptoms are easy to spot.

AH original photos and material will be returned unharmed. (February 4. 1911) It was a busy day at the Middleville Lumber Yard as these horsedrawn wagons prepared to leave Mid­ dleville with materials for a barn to be built west of Bowens Mills. Some of the drivers of the teams were Charlie Davis, Will Freeman and Jess Willard. The lumber yard was located just below the bridge along the banks of the Thornapple River.

The goal of the Jaycees is to develop leaders for their communities, a goal which the C aledonia Jaycees are dedicated to. Over the past year the Caledonia Area Jaycees have come from a crisis situation where the mem­ bership was about to dip below twenty, and jeopar­ dize their charter, to a healthy membership of 34 in December of 1983. With the start of a new year, and the goal of new members fulfilled, their new goal is to get all the new members active and motivated to. become involved in the community, and with their own personal development Community development is one way the Jaycees build leaders. Through such projects as The 4th of July, Muscular Distrophy, The Easter Egg Hunt, and the Fingerprinting of our children, the member­ ship learns valuable organizational and leadership skills. The chapter also provides individual development programs. The past year has seen programs in investments, wills, and parliamentary procedure, to name a few. The member also learns through the management development of his chap­ ter which includes such things as: an awards program, a newsletter, public relations, orien­ tations, and the committee form of doing business. The Caledonia Area Jaycees are an ever-changing group of young men, with greater changes in the pasty ear than in any other year since the chapter’s founding in February of 1976. Their one goal remains this, however, that Caledonia will con­ tinually have a long line of young, enthusiastic, aggressive and dedicated men who care what hap­ pens in, to and with their community. The year of 1984 is certain to be a good one for the community of Caledonia, and you can be sure that your local Jaycee chapter will be working hard to make it as good as possible. Top Salesmen!

NO. 3 • JANUARY 19.1984 Offer Elderly Free Tax Preparation Help Free Tax assistance for the elderly will be available in Caledonia and Middleville beginning Tuesday, January 24, 1984. Through the TaxAideTCE Program of the American Association of Retired Persons, Volunteer counselors trained by the Internal Revenue Service will operate a coun­ seling desk at the following locations and times: Caledonia. Township Library, 240 Emmons Street. Thursdays 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Middleville: V.F.W Hall, 123 East Main St., Tuesdays, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The service is designed to help older persons un­ derstand the various income tax forms, and help them prepare their returns for federal and state taxes. Property tax claims and heating claims will also be prepared. Many older persons are unaware of special benefits they are entitled to claim. Persons should bring with them copies of last year's tax returns, and forms for the current tax year, including forms relevant to last year's income. Negotiations between the TK School Board and the Thornapple Kellogg Non-Instructional Association have apparently broken down, with both sides of the issue claiming they have tried to resolve the problem. As in any bargaining situation, it all depends with whom you talk. The Negotiator for the Association. Larry Thompson, issued a news release which stated that the support staff and the board had reached a “stalemate, and no further mediation or talks have been scheduled." “Not true," says Superintendent of Schools Gerald Page. "A counter offer was made to the group from the Board through Mediator Wheeler Witte following the meeting of the Association and Board members on January 4,” said Page. Eleven issues had been put before Fact Finder David T. Borland last October, and he issued his recommendations in November. Of all those issues, the fact Tinder recommended that only two issues, salary pay schedules and binding arbitration of grievances should be considered valid. The Association Negotiations Chairperson. Mary Ecker, reports that the support staff is willing to accept the Fact Finders report. Borland recommen­ ded that binding arbitration of grievances as con tained in the Association’s proposal be made a part of their contract. He also recommended hourly in­ creases for three years of 35< (1983-84), 40t (198485), and 40< (1985-86). According to the Fact Finder’s report, the TK support staff should be compared to the Kent Coun­ ty “informula" organized school districts. The Board’s position is that the staff compares favorably (in pay scales) to the other rural school districts surrounding TK. The Association spokesman, Thompson, said that the support staff accepted the Fact Finder’s award because the District “has already accepted the same Fact Finder’s recommendations for the teachers, who reached a tentative agreement in their talks last month.” Page said that the counter offer made through the mediator was “very nearly” the same as the Fact Finder’s award. The support staff has been without a contract sin­ ce June 30 of last year. Formal negotiations for an agreement have been going on since last spring, and the Association requested Fact Finding last fall. Neither side, however, are bound by the Fact Fin­ der’s recommendation. To Explain ‘Lifeline’ Response System “Emergency help with the push of a button.” Janet Rushford, Education coordinator from Pennock Hospital, will offer a slide presentation to acquaint people with the Lifeline personal emergen­ cy response system. This meeting is open to those seeking information as to the function and availability of the service and will be held at the Village Community Hall, East Main Street, Middleville, on Wednesday, January 25 at 1:30 p.m. The presentation is arranged through the Com­ munity Education office at Thomapple Kellogg High School. Please call Judy Bailey at 795-3394 if you seek further information. �2 / The Sun and Newt, Middle**, Ml I Jan. 19, 1984 at your Public Library by CHRIS BOYSEN Public Library Assistant By this time you probably have the idea that the public library buys hundreds of books every week.

The two troops were divided in­ to 4 new patrols by Scoutmasters Chuck Baughman and Bob Cook, and worked on First Aid, Blindfold tent-setting, Orienteering (compass) and Firebuilding. The boys discovered that things were different in the deep sno — paces changed for the compass course as snowdrifts got in the way ; first aid problems included hypothermia; fires were slow to start. More exchange campouts have been plan­ ned for the future. Scouts from Troop 105 who went on the campout were Chris Barton, Chip Baughman, Pat Boeskool, Bryan Brant, Jeff DeBoer.

Harrison Forest currently covers 53% of Michigan’s land area, with commercial forests comprising all but one percent of these areas. About half of this forest land is located in the Upper Peninsula, 37% in the nor­ thern Lower Peninsula and 15% in the Southern Lower Peninsula. Commercial forest land in Michigan has been decreasing since 1962. An estimated 44,000 acres will be converted to other uses each year until at least the year 2000. The decline in forest land is closely related to population growth which has resulted in increased acreage and Styling MEN, WOMEN & CHILD HAIRCUTS -$5.00 Cut & Curl Salon NIGHT APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE CALL 795-9787 W \ Jean Sonner/ 47OO Middleville Rd. ** * f “ needs for highway, powerline, industrial, civic, residential and other developments. The northern Lower Peninsula is particularly affected because it is 50% commercial forested and its population has been increasing at a rate of two and one half times the national average. The Office of Land Use of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, stated in a 1974 study of Michigan’s future that, “Michigan’s intensive and consumptive use of land can be expected to escalate dramatically in the next 27 years. ” Forests provide many indispensable services. They help maintain the quality, quantity and tem­ perature of the water in Michigan’s 38,250 miles of rivers and streams. They release large amounts of oxygen into the atmosphere; they protect soils from the adverse effects of compaction and erosion. Along with these benefits. Michigan’s deep green forests provide a unique habitat for an abundance of wildlife. Forests, wetlands and agricultural lands also serve us by collecting massive amounts of solar energy and transforming it into lumber and crops, forms useful to us. If soils are carefully protected, these lands can collect solar energy indefinitely Most of Michigan’s 7 million acres of public recreation land is forested and provides excellent op­ portunities for camping, hiking, canoeing, cross­ country skiing, hunting, fishing, bird watching and other sporting activities. But forests are also in­ dispensable because of the subtle environmental services they provide. Even modern-day amusement parks can't compete with the cool serenity of Michigan’s forests. Lofty trees towering towards a prismatic blue sky is one of the most rewarding aspects of Michigan’s landscape. The pleasures of escaping into the rich, earthy wilderness of the woods are immeasurable. Trees are one of mankind's most versatile and vital resources. As the world's supply of nonrenewable resources • like petroleum ■ become more and more expensive, renewable forests in­ crease in importance as an industrial and home resource.

The recent rash of studies and commission reports on education, both at the state and national levels, would seem to give credence to that statement. From the President’s Commission on Excellence in Education to the Michigan Department of Education’s High School Commission, it is clear that greater emphasis must be placed on education. What is happening in Michigan is frightening. According to a recent U. S. Department of Education report, the student dropout rate in Michigan public schools has increased more than 8 percent over the last ten years, and college entrance exam scores fell. Over the last fifteen years, student scores in the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), a nationally-administered academic achievement exam, indicated that while math scores have in­ creased slightly, verbal and reading scores have dropped. The combined scores show an overall decline in Michigan students' performances. The state is neglecting its responsibility to insure that the educational needs of students are met; and that trend must be reversed. The state’s share of funding for public education, kindergarten through 12th grade, has decreased dramatically over the past fifteen years. In 1968. state spending for K-12 education amounted to 44.8 of the state budget. Today, that figure has dropped to a disappointing 30.9 percent. Early last September. Republicans unveiled a LANSING DIARY comprehensive education plan that calls for man­ datory competency tests for all new teachers and graduating high school students. It also calls for mandating minimum curriculum requirements, with emphasis on math and science. It calls for a teacher certification process and requires that, from the six­ th grade on. subjects be taught only by a teacher with a major or minor in that subject. Legislation that would implement the Republican plan was in­ troduced last fall and is still awaiting action in the education committees of both houses. Other Republican proposals call for increasing the percen­ tage of the state budget used for education. In short. Republicans are and have been, ready to move on improving the quality of education for our children. Just recently, the State Board of Education adop­ ted a blueprint to upgrade schools. Their recom­ mendations are similar to the Republican proposals. However, they do not call for legislation to mandate the guidelines or address the funding issue; and, un­ fortunately. they suggest a four-year phase-in period. We believe that’s just too long a time and too casual a format for improvements that are so desperately needed to improve our schools. State School Board President Phillip Runkel said. “The fundamental issue is the state board’s con­ stitutional responsibility to insure that the educational needs of students are met for the future. Republicans say, "The responsibility for funding those educational needs rests with the Legislature and the future is nou>.” BY PAUL HILLEGONDS, 54th Dist. State Representative Looking at Legislation from Last Year Strategic Fund Package. The cornerstone of Governor Blanchard’s Economic development program, this package has passed the House and is stalled in the Senate. I supported bills that would: target grants, low interest loans and guarantees for product innovation, research and development and new private businesses that have job growth poten­ tial; provide loan assistance to municipalities engaged in public works projects designed to sup­ port private business growth; grant a Single Business Tax Credit to investors in venture capital companies formed to assist minority-owned and operated businesses; establish a process and fun­ ding support for the conversion of surplus public buildings for use as start-up factory space — “in­ cubation centerr” — for new companies. However, I opposed the principal bill in this package after it became clear that House Democrats were not about to compromise on the prevailing wage issue. This bill would consolidate existing state bonding authority used to raise the revenue which, in turn, is loaned to new, expanding or in­ novative businesses. However, the measure would impose on borrowers a requirement that they pay artificially high, prevailing wages for any construc­ tion related to business expansion. This disincentive is completely at odds with the purpose of the Strategic Fund: to create new jobs. Small Business Relief. In 1982 the legislature enacted a measure which, starting in 1984. would provide about $25 million of Single Business Tax relief annually to small, marginally profitable com­ panies. However, the bill was to take effect only if $1,029 billion was collected from business in 1983. Revenues fell short by a small amount, and I sup­ ported legislation - now law - to remove that con­ dition and make the SBT relief available this year. Discouraging Frivolous State Regulation. I voted for House-passed bills that would require state agencies to pay legal costs for court or ad­ ministrative actions where a small business has prevailed in a dispute over state regulatory authority 1 and the judge has found the state s case Middleville VFW Euchre Night Every Friday * 7:00 p.m. at VFW Hall • 123 East Main to be frivolous. Keeping a Promise. In a rare show of unity, business and Itfbor supported a package of workers’ compensation amendments which I co-sponsored. The workers’ comp reforms of 1980 provided statefunded adjustments in benefits to permanentlydisabled workers injured between 1965 and 1979. During the 1982 state budget crisis, supplemental payments for injured workers were delayed. To avoid this problem in the future, these Housepassed amendments will provide the same assistan­ ce in the form of a tax credit. Targeted Relief. Two vital Michigan industries, logging and the foundry business, are high safety risk activities whose workers compensation liability has been partially subsidized by other Michigan companies. Stalled in the Senate are measures that would reduce this subsidy but continue the relief in more limited form. My vote: Yes. Weaking the Statute of Limitations. I opposed a bill that would suspend, until certain jurisdictional questions are settled, the existing three year time limit before which most workers’ compensation claims for death or injury must be filed. Now pen­ ding before the Senate, this measure would com­ promise a week statute of limitations which the 1980 workers’ comp reforms tried to tighten. Unemployment Tax Relief. Last year the Legislature enacted a painful, but necessary plan to tighten unemployment benefits and eligibility and raise unemployment taxes. The purpose was to begin erasing the state’s $2.2 billion unemployment debt and avoid having to borrow more federal funds. Since then the Reagan Administration, to assist hard-pressed states like Michigan, has reduced the interest rate charged against federal unemployment loans. I co-sponsored legislation • now law - to pass on the estimated $114 million in savings to those Michigan employers who are still faced with higher taxes. Tightening Unemployment. To conform with new federal restrictions. I supported legislation — now law - that will prohibit the payment of unem­ ployment benefits to non-professional employees of educational institutions between academic years or terms - if there is reasonable assurance of continued employment. Public vs. Private Competition. Awaiting Senate action is my legislation that would require the State Purchasing Office to examine and eliminate state government-produced goods and services which could be provided more cost-effectively on a con­ tractual basis by the private sector. I voted yes. V_______________________________________ _______________ / Warming up again but still cool at night; need heat then, but we are in hopes the cold spell has passed.

It isn't very’ often that you need to deal with telephone repairs, but when you do. you want them taken care of as fast as possible Now that Michigan Bell has separated from AT&T, there are some changes in the way repair problems are handled. Wt have some suggestions for you on Ik>w to identify your phone repair problems so that you can get them handled as quickly as possible. But first it’s important to know who will make specific telephone repairs. For example, effective January I. 1984 1. AT&T assumed ownership of the phones Michigan Bell had been providing you for a monthly fee. AT&T will continue to lease those phones to you and will offer repair senices 2. AT&T will also offer repair service for phones that you purchased from Michigan Bell prior to January 1. 1984. 3. Michigan Bell will continue to service and repair the lines that lead to your home or business. Now let’s talk about how you can tell if it’s your phone that needs repairing or your phone lines. Here’s how: 0 If you have plug-in or modular service, make sure all of your phones are properly plugged in. 0 Check all phones for physical damage or frayed cords. If you find damage, it’s probably art'instalment problem. 0 If you have more than one telephone, check them all awl for Wa dial tone. If .you -W don't hear -a dial --- tone --- on anyw of It you do lieai the phones, you may havee a line problem. If hear a dial tone on at least one [phone, k ‘ tne ‘ ‘ ;problem “kl is probably ;“k ‘kk in one of your other instruments 0 If you determine that the trouble is isolated to one instrument at one location, and you have modular service, try’- that instrument at another outlet or possibly at a neighbor's (if both you and your neighbor have similar one-party service). If the instrument works at another location, the problem may be with a specific outlet If the instrument does not work at another phone outlet, die problem is probably with the instrument 0 If you have only one plione and it does not appear to be damaged, but cannot be moved to another outlet for testing, call Michigan Bell Repair Service We will help you determine whether you have an equipment or line problem We suggest you clip J and save the following i phone numbers and keep J them near your telephone, ■ LINE PROBLEMS...

The Caledonia Varsity basketball team dropped The Trojans are 3-0 in the OK Blue and 10-1 over its 7th decision in 8 tries to visiting Lowell Tuesday all. The next home match will be Thursday, January night, 77-66. The Scots were down by one at half and 26 against Byron Center. A big thank you to all the former wrestlers who played great defense in the third quarter, allowing only 10 points. The 4th quarter, however, was a dif­ were on hand to help celebrate Coach Lehman’s ferent story as the Scots saw their 6 point lead 100th win. disappear as the Red Arrows scored 17 unanswered points to take the lead for good. Mike Wilson had a great night again with 29 points, followed by Marc Mitchell with 15. Hamilton Dominates Scots Team balance was the key for Hamilton as they gave a clinic in the game of team basketball in the Caledonia gym Friday night, defeating the Fighting Scots 80-59. Caledonia played well, shooting 53% from the floor. At the same time the Hawkeyes were burning the nets at a 60% clip. Other than the last 3 minutes of the 1 st half, the Scots played within 6-8 points of the Hawkeyes, but Hamilton had just too many weapons to fight with. Mike Wilson was spectacular, scoring 33 points, while shooting 78% from the floor. He snared 12 rebounds and blocked 2 shots. Mitchell did a super defensive job on Bill Vanderbilt, holding him scoreless in the first and fourth quarters, when the Scots were in man-to-man defense. Marc also scored 10 points and pulled down 8 rebounds. Scott DeVries held big Kevin Haverdink to 9 points and 7 rebounds. Kurt Berens had a fine night for the Hawkeyes adding 15 points and 6 boards. Tim Sneller picked up 17 points by sheer hustle. Bill Vanderbilt was great, scoring 17 points and taking 10 rebounds. The night’s action leaves the Scots at 1-4 in the league, while Hamilton progressed to 5-0 and a more solid hold on the OK Blue league. JV s Score Win Over Lowell Pressure and key shooting in the first quarter gave the Fighting Scot JV Basketball team a 12-2 start on their 54-34 victory over Lowell last on January 10. Jim Buer scored 10 of his 16 points in the first quarter. Good passing gave Buer most of his shots, but timely steals and good hustle were the real keys. Donn Bonzheim lead all scorers with 17 points, followed by Buer’s 16. Both played an outstanding game. Jim worked hard inside, while Donn worked outside, complimenting each other. Others scoring points for Caledonia were Todd Hooten, Craig Mulder, Mike Oliver and Dennis Johnson, each with 4; Jerry Groendyke and Kevin Nanzer 2 and Craig Aly worth 1. "This was a key game for us because we were without the services of Matt Kietzman because of an injury, and winning without him is a great com­ pliment to the rest of the team.

The much taller Hawkeyes were confused and frustrated from the swarming Scots' defense and could never get anything going. "It was a defensive battle in the last half," said Scot coach Jon Meerman.

By February, we’re getting catalog fever and by March, spring fever sets in with a vengeance. So we correspondents can gab a little more on all kinds of subjects, because news is scarce. 1 was reading the History of Allegan and Barry County a long time ago, and noticing a lot of the names that are similar in the Middleville area. The ones that come to mind were Robertsons and Freemans over at Duncan Lake. I was thinking wouldn’t it be nice to find out how many of the old timers mentioned in the book have ancestors still living here - write up their stories to the modem time for our 1984 - 150th birthday. I’m getting the book out again to hunt for all the names I can find. But would sure appreciate if any of your folks here in this area could call and give me facts of what your ancestors did and the family story up to now. A connecting link from the beginning of past history of Middleville up to the present is a warm, cozy tie to where we are living now, a form of security. I’d like to get some of the history of Caledonia area, too. They’ve always been athletic rivals, but only surface rivalry, because there are a terrific amount of intermarriages between the two areas, not just the local city areas, but the surrounding countryside. Do any of you folks remember the old Alle-Bar farm meetings in the summer - at local homes? I remember the summer meetings because I was staying with my Uncle George and Aunt Audie Steeby then. And this was the chance to get together with your neighbors once a month, other than at church. The houses were really full, loads of good food, (leave it up to a kid to remember food!) I guess technically the name of the club was the Allegan and Barry County Farm Bureau, but shor­ tened to Alle-Bar. Didn’t know it was a Farm Bureau club until John and 1 moved here to the Middleville area to live. Pat Schondelmayer’s sister and daughter. Linda Cummings Fox and Kristen Fox visited with Pat and Glen one night while her husband, Rev. Fox, went to Haiti with 5 other ministers to spend, I think, six weeks. They’ve done this quite a few years, taking supplies, medicines of all kinds and needed things for the people there. I bet he can really tell us tales of the terrible need the people have.

Becky is the daughter of Mark and Loretta Worth of Harwood Lake. New residents on the Prairie are Velma Worth and Bill Downey. Velma celebrated her 68th birthday on Sunday with a dinner for her friends and relatives. Seems like more and more. I (Lois) do less and less, as far as calling my neighbors for Prairie Sket­ ches goes. Poor organization of time. I m sure. Well, family always comes first, and sometimes things do pop up! Judy Harrison says her dad is in the hospital again, so they’ visited him on Sunday. Other than that. Pat got their snowmobiles going again, and they’ve had lots of fun playing in the snow. Wasn’t it a good weekend for it. Last Thursday Mr. and Mrs. Warren Thede and Art and Luellen Thede. all of Grand Rapids, picked up Ruth Klump and they attended the funeral of Wilbur's aunt in Ionia. Friday night supper guests at our house were the Fred Steiners. Jeff Thompson, and the Dave Enders family. On Saturday. Dave, Colleen and Zak Bremer brought the new baby. Kara Nicole, down from Shepherd for her first visit. They had supper with us, then the rest of the family came over afterwards to visit and make the acquaintance of the new beauty in the family. Katy Bremer (Mrs. Mike) is spending a few days at Osteopathic Hospital this week, so we all have the opportunity to share some extra time with grandchildren Brett and Kelly.

Even getting to Yankee Springs proves a special treat; ice sculp­ tures can be viewed along roads to the festival and all around Gun Lake. Ice fishing traditionally opens the 3-day fete with a contest beginning at noon on Friday. Best of the cat­ ches brought to weigh-in stations before noon on Sunday earn trophies and prizes. Things really get going on Friday evening with the lighting of a Festival Flame to burn brightly the entire weekend. At 7 pm., a flare signals snowmobilers and cross country skiers to start from various points around the lake, cross the ice and converge at the festival stage in the park. Opening ceremonies begin when the torchlighters arrive at the stage. Then at 9 p.m., the Sno-Mobile Club hosts a dance during which Festive Royalty will be coronated. Continued on Page 2 NO. 4 • JANUARY 26,1984 Approve Contract At Caledonia On Tuesday, January 17, the Caledonia Board of Education approved a contract with the Caledonia teachers for the 1985-86 school year. The pact calls for a 5% base increase plus the addition of a new longevity step. Costs for “step” increases are estimated to average 2% that year. The agreement is a result of informal discussion over the past several months. Reaching agreement on such a contract, 2 years in advance, in Michigan, is extremely unusual. The Caledonia Board of Education and teachers believe the agreement will allow staff time to be fully devoted to improving instruction, rather than to negotiating. Plan Cross CountrySki Race at Charlton Education by the Pot Belly Stove Last week one of TK’s third grade chuwe* had the opportunity to find out first hand how their grandmothers and grandfathers went to school. In a cootinuing program of taking third graders to Charlton Park s Lee School. Mrs Beth Bauer\ class spent the day going to school around the old “pot belly’’ stove. The historic school was moved to Chariton Park to preserve a way of life that existed in Barry County during its formative years. (See page three for more about the Middleville kids' visit). “Lumipallo” — it means “snow ball” in Finnish ... and that’s just what the Barry County Child Abuse Council hopes the entire family will have at the an­ nual Lumipallo Cross Country Ski races being held at scenic Charlton Park on February 4. Skiers of all ages are invited to participate in the races, which feature medals and trophies for winners and a Limipallo patch for all competitors. The day of racing includes activities the whole family can enjoy. Ten-kilometer and five-kilometer races are set for 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. respec­ tively along miles of beautiful trails surrounding Charlton Park village. The Hastings Timber Trails Ski Shop will hold a waxing clinic prior to the races at 9:30 a.m. There will be food concessions, warming barns, children’s events, horse-drawn sleigh rides around the village, and open skiing after the races. That same evening, the Council is sponsoring a benefit dance from 8:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Hastings Elks Lodge in downtown Hastings. Con temporary music by the band “Nightwind,’’ refreshments and raffle drawings are all part of the evening’s entertainment. Tickets are $15 per couple. Skiers can register the day of the races beginning at 9:30 a.m. or pre-register by mail. Entry forms are located at area sporting goods stores and cross See SKI RACE on page 15 �Pg. 2 I The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I Jan. 26.1984 Library System Has Tax Forms, Help for Filing at your Public Library by CHRIS BOYSEN Public Library Assistant \--------------------------------------- Did anyone receive new sports equipment for Christmas? Do you know how to use it? Is anyone suffering from cabin fever? About this time of the year I’ve forgotten the days without shoes, coats and mittens. This column is dedicated to those who need a challenge to get them through until spring when we can all come out of the woodwork and become human again. At the same time I hope those with new equipment will take advantage of the books suggested and educate themselves. All are ac­ tivities that can be enjoyed indoors. The martial arts have gained popularity in recent years and we have three new books that explain the art. In his book. The Essence of Self Defense by Hidy Ochiai, knowledge, discipline and philosophy are stressed. Karate for Beginners by Keith Vatali and Kent Mitchell emphasizes physical fitness and technique. Training procedures, strategy and knowledge of the rules provide a winning formula according to author Jean Yves Theiault in his book Full Contact Karate. For those other hearty souls, an exercise program called Conditioning for the High School Athlete by Allan Lury, M.D. and Allan Webb is recommended to clean the cobwebs out of your brain and tune up your body. Racquetball still enjoys a substantial following. For those people. Racquetball The Cult by Eugene L. Scott is offered. The people who should be following an exercise program usually opt for the less strenuous mind games. I’m a prime example. Given a choice bet­ ween Racquetball and Dominoes, I'd choose Dominoes in a second. Even though I’m restless and haven’t had any physical exercise in months the fact remains: Racquetball is too much work. With this in mind, I'd like to suggest some more leisurely pastimes. 1 wasn’t kidding when I remarked that Dominoes takes a little brain power. If you think differently, read Dominoes: Popular Games, Rules and Strategy by Dominic C. Armanino. Apparently the domino players have their own jargon, strategy and various games. Backgammon The Quick Course to Winning Play by Don Stern will either teach you the basicks of the game or improve your skill. Chess: Win in 20 Moves or Less by Fred Runfield explains that chess need not be a long, tedious affair. He provides seventy-three short games, relating the strategy of a winning game and moves to avoid which can cause the loss of the game. If you are lucky enough to own the necessary equipment, pool and table tennis offer hours of en­ tertainment. Winning Table Tennis by Tim Bogan is a detailed guide showing winning moves and providing rules for play. Pool, Snooker and Billiards by Horace Lindrum covers every aspect of the games: the origin, history, skills and outstanding players. Diagrams and illustrations further instruct the reader on how to excel in these games. All of us could use some new activities to divert interest away from being inside all the time.

Strange things always seem to happen at McFall School any time the 13th of the month falls on Friday. This year was no exception as students discovered that they were scheduled to switch from class to class and were treated to many special units prepared by teachers to go along with the season of winter. Among the strange units the McFall youngsters experienced were: making of snow ice cream, studying polar bears, penguins and eskimos; snow painting; writing fishy stories; learning about superstitions; making snow cones; as well as being involved in some fun art projects. Pam VanderPloeg, above, returned to McFall recently for the third year, and shared her stories and music with all the McFall students. Pam, a story teller from Grand Haven, performed as part of the P.T.A. supported Arts Program. “Good Old Days(?)” Mrs. Bauer’s third grade class posed for this photo at the front door of School at Chariton Park last week.

Don’t tell McFall third graders how school used to be in the “good old days”, as each class spent a day at the one-room Lee School at Charlton Park. The teachers and many of the students dressed in the style of the late 1800’s. Reading and math were practiced from old texts, and seatwork was done on a slate. Many students brought potatoes and cooked them for lunch in the woodbumer. Each group finished up the day with an old-fashioned spell-down before returning to the 20th Century. �Pj. 41 The Sun and News. Middleville.

Animal Projects Still Popular With 4-H Youth Groups When 4-H first began, in the early 1900’s, livestock projects were the mainstay of many clubs. Farm youth raised and cared for dairy and beef cat­ tle, sheep and swine. Many members used their 4-H skills as they grew up and took over the family farm. Today, livestock projects are still an important part of 4-H, but with expanded opportunities. Beef, sheep, swine and dairy projects are most often taken by farm youth. Dairy goat, rabbit, poultry, horse and dog obedience projects attract and involve youth from both rural and urban settings. In the market animal projects (beef, sheep, swine), youth learn to select, feed, care for, and market their animal. The dairy and goat projects include learning experiences on milk production and herd management. Youth in the horse area learn how to select and properly care for their animal, as well as learn riding skills for themselves. The rabbit and poultry projects cover the care of these animals in addition to their many profitable uses ... egg and meat production, fur production, etc. The dog obedience project offers training for the dog and owner, as well as information on proper care. Opportunities to enter any of the animals in shows are always available, but the main emphasis is on animal care and knowledge. If you would like more information on any of the 4-H Animal Projects, please call the 4-H office at 7743265. ELDON NEWMYER, DC. CHIROPRACTOR Hours: Monday. Wednesday.

It appears that those techniques have also served our Governor well, since his State of the State address this week was a 180 degree shift from that of one year ago. While some of us have long argued that the Governor's 38% tax increase was too much for too long and that spending levels were too high, by proposing a zero increase budget and a willingness to accelerate the scheduled reduction in the tax rate, the Governor has admitted that he has overcharged the people of Michigan. Certainly there will be much discussion here in the coming weeks about the budget and the rate and timing of any tax rollback. I applaud and support the Governor's taxing and spending approach. I only wish he had given this speech last year and saved the taxpayers of Michigan millions of dollars. Perhaps now we can have the responsible fiscal spending policy that some of us have been arguing for all year. Jail Inmates would pay for their keep Jail inmates can be charged for their room and board if innovative legislation approved by the Michigan House last week becomes law. The four-bill package, which I co-sponsored, is designed to address rapidly increasing costs of operating county jails by providing a mechanism for counties to charge and collect expenses up to $30 a day. The costs of administering the program can be included in calculating the actual cost to the inmate. Because jail costs are an ever-increasing burden to taxpayers. I view this legislation as a significant step toward requiring criminals to indeed pay for their crimes. CAPITOL COLUMN BY DICK POSTHUMUS, 31st District State Senator Governor’s Address Mirrors Citizens Needs *7 must follow the people. Ami not their leader" Benjamin Diarwli Disraeli said that in the 1800’s, but Governor Blanchard seemed to be repeating it during his State of the State message. The “tax cut” - “spen­ ding cut” parade was leaving town, led by angry citizens and Republicans, and our Governor wisely decided to step in front with the baton. That move is laudable, and his presence is welcome. The ideas Governor Blanchard espoused in his State of the State message much more closely mirror the needs and desires of the citizens of Michigan, and it appears that he has heard our voices at last. Blanchard called for a tax rollback, a zero-growth budget for 1984-85, more money for education and more attention to our educational system in general, a cut in welfare expenditures, and more breaks for business. Those are the very items Republicans have been demanding for several years — especially in 1983 — and it appears, at least on the surface, that the Governor intends to consider our views. Certainly, much remains to be seen: the actual numbers and breakdown of the Governor’s budget; the action of the Legislature; the possibility that supplemental spending demands will be added after the budget is adopted; and the reaction of the Democrats. But the Governor, unlike last year, opened the door for cooperation in 1984. The Governor’s tax cut is a negotiable item, in my view. The fact that the Governor has placed a tax cut proposal on the table is a positive development. The idea of accelerating the rollback of the income tax increase is timely, but the suggested implemen­ tation of it is not. Blanchard wants to wait until Oc­ tober 1. but our surplus and revenue figures show us that the tax cut could sensibly be enacted im­ mediately — rather than waiting until fall, so closely preceding the general state elections. This is not a time for politics, it is a time for change, and for statesmanship. I will be working in the Finance Committee to try and accomplish this. The Governor seems to want to reverse the direc­ tion in which he was headed in 1983. He has started out 1984 on the right track. I will be working hard to help him meet his goals of zero spending, improved education and the elimination of unnecessary government spending. Let’s hope we stay on the track. Crippled Children Program to be Handled Locally The Crippled Children Program has changed as of January 1 to locally based services through the local Health Departments. The goal of the program has always been to achieve the fullest potential for each handicapped child in Michigan. It is hoped that this change will remove the barriers to appropriate health care and provide the vital link between Division of Services to Crippled Children staff in the Regional office, the local community, and the child's family in assuring that handicapped children will receive the services they need. These children num­ ber approximately 169 in Eaton County and 51 in Barry County Services of Division of Crippled Children include: 1) Program Representation. 2) Family assessment and 3) Case management. Payment of medical care and treatment The first three areas are now provided through the local Health Department. It is hoped that we will become more aware of new eligible children for the program. Please contact your local health depar­ tment if you know of a handicapped child that is not enrolled in the Crippled Children Program and may be able to use your assistance. If you have questions, please free to call 543-2430 or 485-7110 in Eaton County and 945-9516 in Barry County. /--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- v Clay Hills with WREA THA McNEE Last Monday morning my neighbor Debbie Bosma and two boys came to visit.

March 26. 1908, read: MIDDLEVILLE’S MONSTER FIRE East Main Street Suffers $50,000 Blaze ... The entire Row of Old Landmarks is Swept Away at an Early Hour Wednesday Mor­ ning. These photos, taken the morning after the fire in Middleville in March of 1908, show the destruction which took place on Main Street. In the top picture the view is from the top of the hill, looking toward the river. The bottom photo was taken from the alley be­ hind the Main Street block. The building to the right, across the street is the Hotel which was also destroyed by fire in January' of 1981. The photos were supplied to the Sun and News back in 1965 by a former Middleville Fire Chief, the late Bill McKevitt. Sponsored by the folks at And so. Middleville recorded one of its most disastrous fires since the fire of 1883 that burned a block of buildings and killed four people. On that morning of March 25. 1908. every store from High Street down the hill, including where Smith Phar­ macy is now located, was destroyed. The following is an account of the fire taken from the files of The Sun and News : “It has been a household saying in the village. ‘Just wait till a fire starts in the wooden row.' While the event has been universally dreaded, yet it has been the belief of all that sooner or later the north side of East Main Street would go by fire. About 2 o'clock fire was discovered in the building owned by W. J. Hayward, occupied by the Star Bakery of A.A.Braman. E. R. Smith. Reuben Hall. Frank Pilbeam and Allie Scott became aware of it at about the same time and an alarm was sounded. When these gentlemen reached the building the smoke was so dense that entrance was impossible. All the structures were dry as matchwood and the flames spread rapidly to the north, east and west. When it was seen tha the fire was beyond control of the local firefighters the assistance of the Grand Rapids department was sought. A steamer and hook and ladder truck were dispatched, but in the yards there was an accident which compelled them to return to the city and hurry up another (railroad) train and crew. This took valuable time, and although after the second start was made, a rapid run was made to this village, they arrived too late to be of assistance, so the apparatus was returned to the city without unloading. From the bakery the fire spread to A. J. Stevens’ Meat Market, G.D. Whitmore’s Harness and Paint Store, A.M.Gardner’s Grocery, T.H.Wood’s piano sales room, E.H. Lynd’s barber shop, A. J. John­ son’s Saloon, J. W. Armstrong’s Drug Store and Stanley Wildem’s Jewelry and Crockery store, all on Main Street. On High Street. A.M. Gardner’s warehouse was burned, as was also his bam facing the alley back of the stores. At W.A. Quinlan’s brick store the flames were checked, but the residence of S.R. Pierson on Railroad street ignited and was seriously scorched, the roof being almost completely burned off. The bam on the premises was completely destroyed. The small cottage of Mrs. M. J. Matteson on Dibble Street was burned, together with its contents. Mrs. Matteson was not at home, she having been spen­ ding the winter with her son Jay at Owosso. Only by heroic work on the part of the firefighters was the path of devastation stopped at the Quinlan store. It is doubtful whether the assistance of the Grand Rapids company would have stayed the flames sooner. The property loss is a severe one for Middleville, but the businessmen who are most affected are hustling for locations and stock. It is probable that all the places will be replaced this year with brick and cement structures that will be ornaments to the street and the village."

Some New Year’s Tips for Gardners The new year has begun and many people have compiled a list of New Year resolutions. This year, gardeners everywhere will resolve to have fewer weeds and a perfect lawn. Here are a few ideas that will help you keep those well intended gardening resolutions. Weeds can be a seemingly never-ending battle. However, with the use of mulches, the weed battle can be won in your garden this summer. Not only will mulch, if properly applied, smother small weed seedlings, but it will also conserve moisture in the soil. Some easily available mulches include: weathered straw, newspaper applied 3 to 4 layers thick, untreated grass clippings and black plastic. When using organic mulches such as straw and grass clippings, add extra nitrogen to the soil so plants aren’t deprived of this nutrient as microorganisms also use it to decompose the mulch. Make your New Years resolution to keep your garden free of weeds come true this year with the help of mulches. Save your gardening tools from rust and dirt build-up by keeping a bucket or barrel of oiled sand in your garage. After using your spades, hoes or shovels in the garden, insert the metal portion into the sand bucket. A few quick turns will remove dirt and the oil will protect the metal from rust and corrosion. A commonly used piece of equipment that takes weekly abuse is your lawn mower. Start your new year off right by taking it into the shop now for a tune-up. Don’t forget to take any extra blades in to get them sharpened too. A tune-up now will avoid weeks of waiting for your mower to be returned during the spring rush. Buy a new putty knife and keep it near your mower. Use it to clean the underside of the mower after each use. Be sure the blade has completely stopped before turning the mower over. Follow all safety instructions carefully. While you’re cleaning the mower is a perfect time to sharpen and change dull blades. Then your mower will be ready for use the next time you need it. Take time now to study Extension publications available from the Kent County Cooperative Exten­ sion Service. Bulletins are available that will help you plan your landscape, select plants, learn how to grow vegetables and other gardening activities that keep you busy during spring and summer. Kent County Cooperative Extension Service is an educational unit of Michigan State University. For more information call 774-3265.

John came back in from chores this morning and said it was practically decent out - almost warm. Guess it takes below zero weather to make us ap­ preciate 10-15° above. The Jerry Steins had friends. Fred and Mary Lou Boucher and family over for Sunday dinner. It was Markle (who is 6) and Michael Stein (who is 5) birth­ day celebration. The Lynn Tolans had friends from out of town, Mark and Jan Lyons, to play cards Saturday. Dan Mekka also dropped in, as well as Terry Tolan and Pam Janose. Sandy Schondelmayer, due to Howard Ferris retirement from Register of Deeds, is planning on running for this position in November. Pat Schondelmayer said daughter Julie received a scholarship from Western and was also invited by the Honors College at Western to come look over the set-up there. Andy Aicken still has no relief from the pain of his back injury. They can't seem to find why only part of his leg is numb. His symptoms just don't seem to jibe so they can pinpoint where and what is causing his trouble. Andy is getting pretty weary of the pain and numbness. Karen Bass was to visit her folks, the Robert Weise’s, Sunday. Dorothy Dean said they had a house full of com­ pany to help celebrate her birthday - Marta Blough and family, Don’s sister and husband, the Westovers from Grandville, as well as their son Norman and wife of Plainwell. Mrs. Featherly said daughter Helen and kids are staying with her until their road gets passable. Everyone was watching Super Bowl. Mrs. Featherly said there were so many nice goodies and she's on a diet, “just not fair!” Neva and Bill Kenyon, Bruce and Lucille McIn­ tyre, Barb and Don Brinningstaul took their snowmobiles and went up to Kenyon's cabin near Houghton. They went to Tip Up Town and snowmobiled on the lovely trails there. Neva said the DNR keeps the trails well groomed. Everyone had a wonderful relaxing time and it was not so bitter cold up there. Harold and Mary Noah celebrated their wedding anniversary this week. Helping them celebrate were Mary Vander WaL Melvin and Kay Noah. They all went out for dinner. lyla Norton said she was watching the Super Bowl game. Said she loves all kinds of TV sports. This week Friday she and Lib Palmer attended the Barry County Association of Church Women at the Nazarene Church in Hastings.. Jennifer and Kate Bartlett attended the big volleyball tournament at several Battle Creek schools this Saturday. Little Brian McKeown came home from the hospital Wednesday but may not have any visitors for two weeks so he doesn't get exposed to any new bugs until he's on his feet, physically. Mr. Collier said his firm, the Gordon Food Service, has just taken over the Valley Farms Institutional business this week. They also added on the 20 salespeople from this firm to their own sales force, so business is really booming. Kathy Hart, the oldest daughter of Doug and Linda, entertained a friend, Heather McClain for an overnight stay. Mr. Hart said they all had a good time and the youngsters stayed up to watch “Annie on cable TV. Joe and Ginny Scott had Deb and Curtis Lefers over Sunday to celebrate Lonnie’s 2nd birthday. Jim Gordon traveled to London. Ontario, via Am­ trak to visit cousin Huntley and Marie Gordon. Huntly, who is 89, is sort of the Gordon family historian. They were joined by another cousin, James Gordon Ripley of Toronto. They had a nice visit going over Jim’s dad’s family. Bob Sullivan is in Blodgett Hospital. He went in Wednesday for Monday surgery. During this cold spell the birds are sure going through the sunflower seeds and the mixed bird seed. They are all eating on the suet balls, even the juncos. Haven’t seen the Rose bellied woodpecker lately. Hope he’s okay. Seedlings Available The Sun and News. Mkkfevfc. Ml I Jan. 26.1984 / Pt 13 Counselor's Corner by BERNARD WELLER Information in this article is taken from an article by Norma Peterson in USA Today - Tuesday November 8,1983. What’s to blame for teenage apathy? A major problem is that many parents over­ protect their kids. Say a kid plays hooky. The paren­ ts will tell the school he was home. Or the kid gets into a legal skirmish; the family will try to get the charges dropped. In dozens of less dramatic ways, parents “cover for their kids' irresponsibility every day. , This creates an unreal world for them. It doesn t teach them that, as adults, for every behavior there is a consequence. The kids become self-centered and expect things to come too easily to them. But they also get depressed and apathetic because they know they don't have the skills to make it in the world, she says. Larkin sees the nuclear threat as partly respon­ sible for the apathy. One student told him. “Why should I start anything if I'm gonna get blown up? Elkind, whose forthcoming book, AU Grown Up and Nowhere to Go, will be published early next year, says television is another culprit. It fosters passivity and discourages kids from drawing on their inner resources, he says. "It also creates con­ fusion between the television world, where problems are solved in half an hour, and the real world ’ David Merit, 19, of Fresno, Calif., agrees: "I think MTV (the cable music station) is a particular problem. Everything is portrayed in such a glamorous light and is so artsy that if you spend a lot of time with it, which teenagers do, you can get caught up in the music and the haircuts and the fashions. It becomes the focus of kids’ lives, not just their recreation.” Another tough problem to deal with, says Merit, is the contrast between the high-tech, fast-paced communications world in which adolescents grow up and “the drudgery of school. Kids are so bored they make the teachers apathetic, too." he says. The solution, Elkind and Moor agree, is for paren­ ts to reassert adult authority, clarify appropriate teen-age behavior and give kids increasing respon­ sibility as they age. Says Moor, “I tell my families in therapy that they must set clear-cut rules and give specific rewards and punishments for respon­ sibilities met or evaded. Nothing less will work. " Breaking teens of apathy Teen-age apathy should not be ignored, warns Elaine Moor, a Chicago psychologist who works with teen-agers. “It’s a mistake to think adolescents The Erosion Control and Reforestation Program will outgrow the behavior,” she says, adding that for the Barry Soil and Water Conservation District often the malaise gets worse.

She sayd, “Mr. Kevin Briggs, our Physics and Computer Science instructor, was looking for a project for us to work on. When he mentioned that it might be fun to build a robot, the whole class became very enthused. Then he told us we would have to raise the money ourselves. We were still very excited, but I don’t think any of us fully realized just how many candy bars that was Fortunately, our brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers all helped us sell the candy bars.” Even that, it turns out. wasn’t quite enough money, so they looked around for some help.

Ml I Feb. 2,1984 at your Public Library by CHRIS BOYSEN Public Library Assistant By this time you probably have exhausted all reading material you may have received for Christ­ mas. What better time to stock up on new reading material? The Public Library has many new fiction books to offer. Since the holidays I haven’t had a spare dollar to my name. I’ll wager that several of you are in the same position. Don’t buy, borrow! Here is a list of the tempting books that have just arrived. (I have to restrain myself or I’d be taking a stack home with me daily). Spring at the Winged Horse by Ted Willis. A novel of a spirited orphan girl’s struggle to survive in Cockney London. The Time of The Hunter's Moon by Victoria Holt. The heroine, Cordelia, is a school mistress at a girls’ academy. She finds herself pursued by a man who may have murdered his wife and mistress.

If a particular choice is out when you come in, we will be happy to reserve it for you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SANDY To Middleville, you came in ’44 As just a wee, tiny tot You lived in the area half of your life And you sure liked it a lot. From the time that you were five The school bus stopped at your door, This happened for many and many a year And you have memories galore. The highlight of your younger years Was when grandpa and gramma moved to town; And to think it was on Main Street Where the parades marched up and down. The years went slow in lower grades They began to pick up speed in Jr. high; When you became a freshman, it wasn t long Till you told school mates good bye.' You have long since moved away But we know you do not forget For why would you subscribe to Sun & News If you didn’t care for Good Ole Middleville yet? Love and Prayer, always • — You know who — 21 TK Students to Visit State Capitol Twenty-one students from Thomapple Kellogg High School, along with Close-Up advisor Jim Sprague and teacher Doug Perry, will attend the State one-day program in Lansing on February 8. The State Close-Up program has been sponsored by the Kent Intermediate School District in cooperation with the area Legislative Delegation for the past nine years. The Close-Up program will include a keynote ad­ dress by Dr. Phillip Runkel entitled “The State of Education in Michigan’’; a talk by Governor Blan­ chard; meetings with local legislators; meetings with members of the news media who cover the Lan­ sing scene on the subject “Are We Getting the Full Story?”; meetings with eight legislators on issues facing Michigan today; and tours of thirteen gover­ nmental agencies. There will be 12 TK students participating in the Washington D.C. Close-Up trip in April. Warn Snowmobilers To Use Care on Roads Snowmobilers enjoying Michigan’s snow-covered fields and roads are reminded by the State Police to use caution and be familiar with the laws governing use of these vehicles. According to Col. Gerald L. Hough, department director, 12 people were killed and 231 injured in 252 reported snowmobile accidents during the 1982-83 winter season. Driving too fast caused 104 of those accidents resulting in eight deaths. The majority of the accidents occurred off the roadway. Causes listed most often were driving too fast or following too closely and unable to stop, Hough said. Snowmobilers are offered some safety tips from the State Police. Don’t: tailgate or cut across another snowmobiler’s right of way ... drive when under the influence of alcohol ... or forget to signal your intentions to other snowmobilers. Watch your speed. When exploring remote areas, use the “bud­ dy” system; don’t go it alone. Stay on marked trails when on public lands and know ice conditions. Check ice thickness, know thin spots and old fishing holes. Heed warning signs. More than 237,000 snowmobiles are registered in Michigan with many more operated on private property and requiring no registration. Although the number is down from past years, the need to exercise caution and follow safety practices remains as important as ever, State Police say. Woman's Whirl by JOANNE BOYSEN ---Twenty-eight years ago this week Don and I became the proud co-owners of “The Middleville Sun and Caledonia News.” How young we were! How full of plans and dreams, ideas and en­ thusiasm! (How hard it is to remember that when our young people put on their rose colored glasses.) When we first began looking around at weekly newspapers and trying to determine whether we could buy one, I had never heard of Middleville and Don knew it primarily from passing through on in­ frequent trips from his folks’ cottage at Gun Lake to Grand Rapids. Aside from an avid interest in newspapers and printing, which Don has had since childhood, working on school newspapers and yearbooks, and a few months working for a weekly newspaper, we didn’t have much in the way of credentials or qualifications for publishing a newspaper. Don’s college degree is in liberal arts - English and history; mine is in dental hygiene. Perhaps our biggest asset was in not knowring what we didn’t know. At any rate, we slid into Middleville in the middle of a sleet storm, convinced that we wanted to live in and be a part of a small town, willing to put in the long hours, struggle with barely adequate equip­ ment and publish “our” newspaper. Twenty-eight years later, we sometimes feel we’re still working under some of those same conditions, perhaps a trifle less enthusiastically, but with the conviction that in all our innocence and experience, we were fortunate enough to have made the right choice. We still think Middleville has been a good place to work and to bring up a family. It has truly become our home. A few weeks ago, I mentioned the possibility of trying to get a cookbook ready for the sesquicenten nial celebration in September. Don has said to go ahead with it, so I’m trying to "begin to commence” as the old saying goes. I have access to the bound copies of the Sun and News for a number of years, sc will try to pick up recipes that have been in th« paper. Luana Tolan has volunteered to help. Now wt need all of you to send in your favorite recipes ■ old or new. If you have old photographs of the Mid dleville area, we would like to be able to use those too. If you have ideas, suggestions, contributions please take a minute or two and send them to me, in care of “The Sun and News. i Middleville Girl Scouts TK School Board Agenda The tentative agenda for the Thomapple Kellogg We are planning on going on an outing with the Board of Education regular meeting to be held Boy Scouts during spring break.

Mr. Willyard was a wonderful man who will be sadly missed by the community. A week ago last Thursday, Mrs. Fern Doyle worked at the Blood Bank at Moline. They were able to get 171 pints of blood. I say if Moline can do it, we can too! So please, everyone, try to make it to our next blood bank and see if we can match them, or better yet, top them! When you stop and think about it, it’s really a very small thing for us to do, but it can mean the difference between life and death for someone else. Perhaps even someone we know and love. Last Tuesday, Fem Doyle performed with the Moline Kitchen Band for the Comstock Park Senior Citizens. Mrs. Lucille Getty enjoyed having grandchildren Catherine and Paul Getty and friend Robby home for the weekend. Max and Jackie Bedford, Al and LaVanna Sher­ man went to a fish fry in Wayland Friday evening.

Beneath boredom, an ultimate optimism Teen-agers have so many adult perks today without adult responsibilities, it’s no wonder some stop striving, says Jerald Bachman, psychologist at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. “Most kids drive cars and have jobs that give them plenty of money to spend.” says Bachman. “They live in a youth culture hill of designer jeans, Pac-Man and loud music. ” If you can do all that while in high school, postulates Bachman, “what does adulthood offer? Right now, the double whammy of high unem­ ployment and sky-high prices. Add to that the threat of nuclear war. ” Nonetheless, Bachman believes young people are “getting their acts together remarkably well.” In his most recent annual survey of 17,000 high school seniors. Bachman found that most are op­ timistic about their personal futures. “When asked how their lives would be in five years. 86 percent ex­ pected things to get better,” he reports. But the seniors were less sanguine about the state of the world. Most thought the USA would be “in­ volved in a major world upheaval in the next 10 years.” In addition, in response to the rather depressing survey statement, “Nuclear or biological an­ nihilation will probably be the fate of mankind within my lifetime,” 32 percent agreed. 33 percent disagreed and 35 percent were undecided. “In 1975, the disagreers outnumbered the agreers 2 to 1,” Bachman says. Yet however inconsistent with the gloom and doom, optimism seems to prevail. Seven out of 10 youths agreed with a subsequent statement, “The human race has come through tough times before and will do so again. ” USE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS!

As Eltha said, “the world is made up of real nice people, and wasn’t that a generous and thoughtful thing for her to do. ’ I certainly agree.

MH FA 2.19841 P» 7 LANSING DIARY BY PAUL HILLEGONDS, 54th Dist. State Representative Governor’s Major Goals Well Received By State Republicans Retrenchment and retreat. That was the tone of this year’s State of the State address. Governor Blanchard emphasized four major goals for 1984: a tight, “zero-growth” budget for the next fiscal year; a stepped-up rollback of the income tax rate to 5.35%; a shifting of spending and policy em­ phasis to education; and new economic development initiatives. Republican lawmakers have no reason to com­ plain about the basic direction the Governor has charted. His fiscal retrenchment - in part a political retreat - may well be better received by Republicans than by members of his own party. Still the details of his legislative program must be worked out. and whether the partisan wars of 1983 will be transformed into bi-partisan cooperation in 1984 remains to be seen. An experience last week indicates to me that the policy “details” won’t be resolved easily. At the in­ vitation of the Governor’s staff, a few other House Republicans and I were asked to meet with some Democratic legislators and Blanchard’s tax and budget advisors. The message to us was: Don’t start a political bidding war over which caucus can propose the largest tax-rollback to erase the current and projected budget surplus. The result could be another deficit next year, and people and in­ stitutions needing state assistance could be hurt in the crossfire. Following a heated discussion about the size of the suplus, the Governor’s representatives proposed a truce: If Republican House leaders wouldn’t try to embarrass Blanchard by calling for a popular, but fiscally impractical tax cut, the Governor wouldn’t commit himself to any tax plan until bi-partisan negotiations over taxing and spending levels were conducted. Less than 24 hours later, the Governor announced a tax plan. He proposed to return the $130 million surplus he has projected for this year by speeding up the scheduled rollback of the income tax from January 1, 1985 to October 1, 1984. So much for cooperation. In the wake of Governor Blanchard’s unexpected turnabout, the House Republican caucus adopted a bargaining position of its owh. We agreed that the budget surplus from this past year and the current year should be returned to Michigan taxpayers. However, we analyzed: (1) the administration s ac­ counting techniques which have minimized the em­ barrassing surplus that resulted from last year s ex­ cessive income tax hike; (2) the supplemental spen­ ding which the Governor intends to propose, raising this year’s 13% increase in spending another $50 million, and (3) revenue projections for a Michigan economy that has rebounded faster than Blanchard predicted. Our conclusion was that the surplus may be as high as $426 million - and that more tax relief should be possible. The $426 million estimate is only a starting point for some hard bargaining. The remaining long-term debt and warnings of a tighter fiscal picture next year cannot be ignored. But I am convinced that Governor Blanchard is being too pessimistic. Fur­ thermore, a lower tax rate will be the only effective means of preventing lawmakers from enacting at “business as usual” budget for 1985. While difficult negotiations lie ahead, at least the prospect of A Republican controlled Senate after the January 31 special elections will insure more balan­ ced talks. And at least the political unrest over last year’s taxing and spending policies has caused the majority and minority parties to start moving in the same basic direction. Electricity: Instant Energy Electricity, we can all agree, is instant energy. There was once a baseball player who, the story goes, could flick the switch on the wall in his hotel room and be in bed before the light went out That’s quick. The Tigers could use him. But save for that one fellow, there are few among us who can outrace electricity. We might also agree that elect­ ricity is our lifeline to comfort and convenience. Don’t believe it? Think about living without it— without a refrigerator, a TV, lights, a vacuum cleaner.... Enough? What we may not agree on is that electricity is a bargain. Consumers Power Company’s electric rates for residential customers are among the lowest in the Midwest and are 15 to 26 percent less than the national average, according to a national study released last summer. For a typical family, using 500 kilowatthours of electricity per month without water heating service, 87.7 percent of the nation s other 225 investor-owned utilities have higher rates. That’s not all the evidence. Look at effective buying in- come. In 1963, it took 1.44 per­ cent of your income to buy a year’s supply of electricity. In 1982, it took 1.46 percent. In fact, the average middle-income Michigan family spends more each year on their insurance, their telephone bills, their vaca­ tions and even eating out than they spend on electricity. According to computations de­ veloped from surveys conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Sta­ tistics, the average family spends $880 a year for insurance, $523 on telephone bills, $818 on vaca­ tions and a whopping $1,428 eating out But, in Michigan the average middle-income family using 500 kilowatthours of electricity per month will, over a year, only pay Consumers Power approximate­ ly $350. For their money, they get clean, instant comfort and convenience. Is electricity a bargain? Think twice before you say “No”—even if you’re not quick enough to flick the switch and be in bed before the light goes out Paid for by the shareholders of Consumers Power Company. 22-298-E �P» 81 The Sun and News. MWMh, Ml I Feb. 2.1984 Caledonia Basketball Down Lee, 66-49 The Caledonia Varsity basketball team won their second game in a row when they defeated Lee 66-49 last Tuesday. The Scots were always in control, but the Rebels hung close with good outside shooting by Chris Restau and nice drives by Ken Potter. The Scots were only up by eight at the end of three quar­ ters, but they took control of the boards and ran the ball well to spread it to the 17 point final difference. The Scots scored 21 points in that fourth quarter against only 12 for Lee. Mike Wilson led all scorers with 31 points. Marc Mitchell posted an impressive 14 point performan­ ce. Ken Potter poured in 18 to lead the Rebels. The win puts Caledonia at 3-4, one game behind Middleville, and tied with Hudsonville for 4th place. Eagles Soar Over Scots The Fighting Scots couldn’t pull off their 3rd vic­ tory in a row as they fell to Hudsonville 72-68 at Caledonia Friday night. The Scots took the early lead but excellent defense by Jim Looinga on Mike Wilson held him to six points in the first half. Meanwhile, Joel Smeenge was unstoppable inside and out as he led the Eagles to a 7-point half time lead by scoring 16 points in that half. Hudsonville stretched their lead to 10 by the end of the third quarter as the Scots spread their scoring around. In the fourth quarter Mike Wilson opened up with 17 points as the Scots clawed their way back to a tie, but couldn’t overcome Hudson­ ville’s 13 free throw shots. For the Scots, Wilson scored 28 to lead all scorers. The great performance put in by Tim Dobson was the key that held the Scots in the game. Marc Mit­ chell and Bryan Finkbeiner turned in good perfor­ mances to round out the Scots’ double figure scoring. Scott Dekkinga and John Vander Wai each scored 15 peins. Scott Hoezee added 10 points for the winners. Reward League Wins The Caledonia Varsity Girls Basketball Team has a record of 45 straight league wins, and the Caledonia Lions Club will honor the team on Satur­ day, February 11, with a party at the Holy Family Church Hall.

Squeak by Hamilton Bud Tolan scored a game high 20 points and Eric Graham added 10, as Caledonia JV Basketball squad extended its winning streak to 9 games with a 59-55 win over Hamilton on Friday. Caledonia, which never trailed in the game, took a quick 8-0 lead early in the game and never let up. Had it not been a cold, free-throw shooting niht for the Scots, 10-30, the game would not have been close. Tolan hit 8 out of 14 shots from the floor and dished out 8 assists, grabbed 8 rebounds for a pretty TIM DOBSON MIKE WILSON good night’s work. “Bud played a tremendous game and ran the team with perfection,’’ explained Scot coach Jon Meerman. “He is improving every day, and he is going to be exciting to watch in the next two years.” Caledonia also received an excellent game from Caledonia’s Mike Wilson became the all-time sophomore Bob Applegate. Bob ended the night leading scorer in Caledonia’s history Friday night. with 9 points, 4 steals and 3 assists.

Unbeaten Hudsonville Takes Scots The Hudsonville Freshman basketball team came into town Friday as a team unbeaten, and left with a 45-30 victory over the Fighting Scot Frosh. Aggressive defense both ways caused many tur­ novers. “I believe we played them almost even on defensive, but they converted their steals into poin­ ts and we did not,” said the Caledonia coach. Caledonia shot only 25% for the first half and still kept within 6 at half with the Eagles leading 23-17. The second half wasn’t much better, as Caledonia only shot 14%, which gave the Eagles the chance for the win. Leading scorer for the Scots was Matt Kietzman with 9.

During the Sesquicentennial year of 1984, The Sun and News will be reviewing the past in this column. Much of what we will be featuring will come from the files of the newspaper. However, if you have old photos or stories concerning Middleville's past, please let us consider them. AH original photos and material will be returned unharmed. School Days .. . School Days! This week we return about 70 years ago to another school era in Middleville. The photo on the left was brought to us by Chic and Cathy Moma who have several old photos of her father, Carner Schondelmayer. This one was taken around 1910 and had this message on the back "This is the eight grade of last year. See if you can find me on the card. I am one of the boys. This was taken about the year half out ... all the scholars are not in the picture.” It is believed that Carner is the one in the middle of the photo. The MGS banner and arm bands probably stood for Middleville Grammar School. The photo below is from about 1914 or 1915 and we re not sure where it came from; it was in the Sun and News photo file. Taken in front of the old school (now the site of Calvin Hill Park), these boys were identified as: Top row, from left: Lee Tinker, Rozelle Gardner, Floyd Cobb, Fred Matteson, Cliff Garner, unidentified, Ralph Smith, Sid Braun, Walt Kaechele, Arthur Wood, Oscar Kaechele, Nelson Stimpson. Middle row: Albert Parker (hand on chin), Leon McMellon, unidentified, Albert Kaechele, unidentified. Bottom row: Fred Cisler, Earl Dean, Shirley Griffeth, Wendell Gladstone, Densmore Babcock, Laurence Palmer, Robert Hoover, Barton Smith.

Congress and a host of private organizations hadn’t gotten together last spring to pass the Social Security Amendments of 1983. It was said about these changes then that “they have in them something to offend just about everybody!” While not everybody would agree with that statement, the changes will certainly affect every American and many of them this month. They were made in order to make Social Security solvent, and early returns indicate this is happening and that the program has been greatly strengthened. Just in case you haven’t read about the upcoming changes, they include: Cost-of-living increase These used to come in July. From now on they’ll come in January instead. This January the increase is 3’/»% based on inflation during the prior year. Taxing Social Security Not all benefits will be affected by this, but star­ ting this year, single taxpayers having an income base of $25,000 (couples $32,000) may have up to one half of their Social Security or Railroad benefits taxed. This income base will include some kinds of income not otherwise taxable (like tax-free municipal bonds), and the tax applies regardless of a beneficiary’s age. People with questions about this new tax will need to talk to the IRS since they have the responsibility for carrying out tax laws. New Employer-employee FICA Deductions A one-half percent increase originally set for 1985 was moved forward one year to 1984 - the effect is that employers will have to pay 7 percent on an em­ ployee's earnings up to $37,800, but the worker stays at 6.7 percent, as the new law gives him a tax credit or rebate equal to the tax increase for that one year. The self-employed will have to pay a tax of 11.3 percent in 1984; an increase of nearly 2 percent. More people covered under Social Security Prior to 1984, people who worked for non-profit organizations, like churches, and some hospitals and private schools, had to volunteer for Social Security, and their employers could pull out of the program if they wanted to. Most federal employees did not pay into Social Security because they already paid 8 percent of their income into their own retirement system. That’s changed. All those working for non­ profits and new federal employees will be blanketed in 1984 and the option to pull out has been can­ celled. When You've Got a Family to Think About...

BOOTH AGENCY 497 Arlington, Middleville • 795 3302 Mostly for Women To meet the concern that women have not gotten as much out of Social Security as they should have, four benefit improvements were made in the law. The two effective this year include continuing payments after remarriage for disabled spouses over 50 and divorced spouses over 60 and raising the payment to disabled widow(ers) to 71.5 percent; up from 50 percent in some cases. In 1985 widows will have their benefits figured in a new way if their husbands dies before age 62, and people who are divorced (if otherwise eligible at 62) will be able to collect on their former spouse's account regardless of whether that person filed for Social Security or not! This Summary covers only the changes in Social Security which we feel will touch the most people next January. There are many more - over 60 - in the changed law. If you have questions about any aspect of Social Security, you are always welcome to call, visit or write. We are located in the Calder Plaza Building, 250 Monroe N.W. Grand Rapids. Phone 456-2241. Secretary of State Richard Austin invites all unregistered individuals to register to vote at any of the 180 statewide Secretary of State branch offices. Individuals also may register with the clerk of any city or township in which they live. October 9th is the last day to register if you want to vote in the presidential election. Hastings Women to Hold Show, Sale The Hastings Business and Professional Women’s Club announces its Second Annual Business Womens Show and Sale to be held on Saturday, March 10, at the Community Building at the Barry County Fairgrounds, Hastings, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The show and sale is unique in that businesses that participate are owned or co-owned by women. Numerous items will be available for sale, as will be services provided by women-owned or co-owned businesses. The public is invited to attend, free of charge, and view and enjoy the significant contribution women make to the community. Participants may still reserve booth space by calling Ruth Hughes at 852-1978 or 948-2341. The charge for 10x10 booth space and other benefits is $25.00. Details are available from Mrs. Hughes. The show and sale will provide an opportunity for women in business to write orders, give service or make direct sales; will provide a chance to start or add to a mailing list; will provide an introduction to other women in business and provides a nice change of pace from the “workplace.” The Hastings BPW club invites businesses owned or co-owned by women to be a part of this impor­ tant show and sale - an exchange of products, ser­ vices and ideas: and to join club members dedicated to the interests of working women. A special feature of the show and sale will be cof­ fee and rolls in the morning, a specially planned lun­ cheon menu prepared by BPW’ club cooks, and a bake sale throughout the day. BPW Club cookbooks will also be on sale, as will be fresh Georgia pecan halves. TK Junior High Wrestlers Have 4 Wins The Middleville Junior High wrestling team im­ proved their record to four wins and three defeats with a 69-13 victory over Kelloggsville. The young Trojans showed much improvement in wrestling their best match of the year. Everyone who wrestled showed good aggressiveness and gave one hundred percent effort. In two preliminary matches, Mike Miles defeated his opponent and Dan Rudd lost a close decision. At 68 lbs.. Doug Mathiesen recorded his 6th win against one loss with a pin over his opponent. There was a double-forfeit at 75 lbs. Jesse Morrin went out and took his man down and put him on his back to take a 5-0 lead. The first year wrestler then got caught in a move and was pinned. Jody Tyner, who has been improving with leaps and bounds, superior decisioned his man. Brian Smith wrestled a tough opponent to a draw. Mark Irwin had the first points of the year scored on him. He came back, however, to stick his man and run his season record to 7 wins and 0 defeats. Chris Forsythe, who wrestles up a weight, fought hard but lost a close decision. The loss was only Chris’ second of the year. Ron Pelli started at 117 for the first time and promptly went out and pinned his man. Jeff Hooper improved his record to 5 and 2 with a 37 second pin. Mike Wright, one of the har­ dest workers on the team, won on a forfeit. Aggressive Don Peters went out and stuck his strong opponent. Bruce Sherd wrestled his best match of the year and pinned his previously un­ defeated opponent. Jamie Bardwell, who has lost only once, won by forfeit. Jack Rosenberg and Bruce Swanson also picked up six point forfeit victories to round out the scoring. The Middleville Junior High wrestled extremely well in the Hastings Tournament Saturday. The Trojans finished 3rd out of a field of 8 teams. All the other schools competing were either Class A or B Schools. Doug Mathiesen placed 3rd at 68 lbs. Joey I^ewis defeated two opponents and brought home a 1st place medal at 75 lbs. Jesse Morrin wrestled his best of the year and placed 4th at 84 lbs. Jody Tyner won his first match but did not place. Brian Smith was wrestling well but had to default for the day due to an arm injury. Mark Irwin lost his first match of the year, but then pinned his next three opponents to take 3rd place at 103. Chris Forsythe did the same thing at 110 lbs. to finish 3rd. Todd Kidder pinned one op­ ponent at 117 lbs. before bowing out of the tour­ nament. Jeff Hooper made it to the championship finals before losing and placing 2nd at 124. Jon Raymond wrestled well but made a couple of mistakes that made him lose matches at 131 lbs. Don Peters fought hard but was defeated by two strong op­ ponents at 138. Bruce Sherd and Jamie Bardwell showed strong determination and each placed 3rd at 147 and 157 respectively. Jack Rosenberg placed 2nd at 169 lbs., and Bruce Swanson pinned two op­ ponents at heavyweight to finish 4th. MIDDLEVILLE CLOVERS HOLD SIGN-UP The Middleville Clovers 4-H Livestock Club had its first sign-up meeting at Mr. and Mrs. Dick Bryans’ home November 5, 1983. Approximately 20 members will be taking livestock and non-livestock projects to the fair this summer. The livestock projects will include beef, sheep, rabbits and hogs. Our general leaders will be Mr. and iMrs. Dick Bryans. We also elected officers for the coming year. They are: Jennifer Geukes, president; Scott Sitzer, vice president; Kelly Wieringa, secretary; Jim Thome, treasurer, and Andrea Reurink, reporter. In December, our club worked on a Christmas parade float called Christmas Down on the Farm which took second place in the parade. On January 5, we met at Mr. and Mrs. Dick Reurink s home for our first business meeting. During the meeting we passed out last year’s pins and certificates. After the meeting the 4-H members went sliding and tobogganing. Our next meeting will be held at Mrs. Stayton’s home on February 25th.

Dale Thoms and Brian Kaechele, seniors, Eric Hannapel and Kristy Miner, juniors, and Jacqueline Webb, a sophomore, have all submitted proposals for possible inclusion on a future space flight. This program which is co-sponsored by both NASA and the National Science Teachers Association, is a nationwide competition for high school students. The students’ proposals, which are submitted to NASA and NSTA officials are read and judged, with the best twenty from our region (Michigan and Ohio) selected as regional winners and invited to attend a three-day symposium at NASA-Lewis in Cleveland. There they will present their proposals to NASA experts and astronauts who will offer suggestions and criticisms. They will then rewrite their proposals and submit them to another panel of experts who will select ten from the entire country for inclusion on a space shuttle mission. Last year, Chris Noah (now a freshman at the University of Michigan) was selected as a regional winner for his experiment dealing with astronaut perspiration. TK Boosters Meet Monday The TK Boosters will meet Monday night, February 13, 7:30 p m. at the Middle School Library. Everyone having a booth at the Inter­ national Food Fest should attend to make our final plans. If you are not able to attend, please call Linda Groves, 891-9954, or Jerri Oosterhouse, 891-1064, with your booth information. This year’s hopefuls have a wide variety of in­ teresting suggestions. Kristy Miner is investigating astronaut muscle tone. Since astronauts have serious problems maintaining their muscle tone in a weightless environment, Kristy has devised an ex­ periment which she hopes will help them improve their tone through the utilization of weak electrical currents. Eric Hannapel is looking into ways of treating and recycling waste products. Since this re-use of materials would mean they wouldn't have to ship as many supplies, they would have more room available to bring along additional experiments and equipment. Jackie Webb would like to do a long term analysis of a comet. Jackie's idea is to send a small satellite from the shuttle. This would "shadow” or follow the comet on its journey through our solar system and send back information about the comet and its characteristics while it travels. Brian Kaechele is interested in the drinking problems of birds. Since birds drink without swallowing, (by placing water in their mouth, raising their head and letting the water “fall into their stomach ”), Brian is trying to discover if birds can adapt and solve the problem of drinking in very low gravity situations. Dale Thoms is looking into the effects of microgravity on liquid flow. Fluid flow through any container is regulated by turbulence within the con­ tainer. This could cause problems in the flow of liquid fuels and coolants in space and perhaps even affect the blood flow of astronauts. Dale is trying to determine what types of fluid turbulence exist in space and what consequences this turbulence may have for our space program. These five students have put a great deal of time and effort into their proposals and hopefully at least one of them will have the chance to take them fur­ ther. Thornapple Kellogg School has a new head football coach. Keith Rhines, an eleven-year coaching veteran on the staff, has been promoted to the head football coach’s position beginning with this fall’s season. He replaces Ray Page, who resigned as TK’s head coach last month. A complete story on Coach Rhines will be published in next week’s Sun and News. Middleville Rotary Club President Floyd Wells re-enacts the drawing of the winning ticket in the club’s raffle for firewood completed last Friday night. At left is Bill Getty, chairman of the event. The winner of the full cord of firewood is Dick Dean of Hastings. Bill reported to the club that the project cleared over $440. Sesquicentennial ‘Cakes Middleville’s Sesquicentennial celebration is fast approaching. This year on Saturday, March 24, the Men’s and Youth Groups of the United Methodist Church of Middleville will be supporting this effort with their annual Pancake Day, serving pancakes and sausages from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. A portion of each ticket sold will be allocated to Ecumenical Day of the Sesquicentennial Week, Sep­ tember 24 through 30. Tickets are $2.50 for adults, $1.25 for children 12 and under if purchased in ad­ vance ($3.00/$1.50 at the door) and are available from any men’s or youth group member. �Pg. 2 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml / Feb. 9,1984 at your Public Library by CHRIS BOYSEN Public Library Assistant \__________________________ __ ____________ / It would be interesting to see the reaction of the Ancient Greeks, who founded the Olympics around 776 B.C., if they could attend the Olympic games of today. They would be astounded not only by the physical feats performed by the athletes, but also by the money spent to perpetuate this tradition. Ac­ cording to the October 17, 1983, issue of Time magazine, everyone involved in the summer Olym­ pics should benefit. ABC network, who paid $225 million for the television rights, the 30 sponsors who each paid a minimum of $4 million and the City of Los Angeles all should benefit economically. But what about the participants? They stand to gain the respect and admiration of people all over the world. That’s what the Olympics are all about; personal achievement and recognition by others. The Olympic games have a long and distinguished history. Perhaps one of these books would help you understand the origins of each competition. All of them reflect on outstanding champions of previous Olympics: The Story of the Olympic Games 776 B.C. to 1968 by John Kuran and Arthur Daley, Young Olympic Champions by Steve Gelman, Olympic Champions, Why They Win by Carli Laklan and History of The Olympic Games by Xenophon L. Messinesi. With the start of the winter Olympics and the up­ coming summer Olympics, interest in the specific events should be at its peak. Knowledge can only in­ crease your interest and enthusiasm. There are several books on events that are in the Olympics. Remember how fired up Americans were after we took a gold medal in ice hockey at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics? Remember Eric Heiden's skating achievements? If you would like to help your memory, read the book The XIII Winter Olympic Games Lake Placid 1980 produced by the Ideals Publishing Corporation. Skating enthusiasts will enjoy Skating - Elegance on Ice by Howard Bass. Included are beautiful photographs and background on Sonja Henie, Carol Huss, Peggy Fleming, Dorothy Hamill.

There are many events in the Olympics, but few are as popular as that of gymnastics. The Complete Beginners Guide to Gymnastics by Edward F. Dolan Jr. does an admirable job of clarifying techniques for floor exercise, balance beam, uneven parallel bars, rings, vaulting and a multitude of other events that are beyond my comprehension. I’m amazed that bodies can move in so many dif­ ferent directions without breaking! I must admit that skiing holds the most fascination for me. As one who is petrified of heights, scared of speeds over 55 mph and abhors being cold for longer than five minutes, it astounds me that skiers actually enjoy themselves, I sit glued to my T.V. set while Olympic skiers race the slaloms and jump off platforms 70-90 meters high, and mar­ vel that they all live through it. There are at least a dozen good ski instruction books. One that looks especially good is America's Ski Book by the editors of Ski Magazine. Many other books on other events are available. Enjoy the Olympics!

SHIRLEY EATON, Village Clerk �Pg. 41 The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I Feb. 9,1984 Down Memory Lane WITH NORMA VELDERMAN The Travis Family I had a wonderful surprise when I turned in my column last week. There was a letter for me from Helen Mainline of Saraland, Alabama. She had read my appeal to you folks for the history of your families. So here it is. It helps to connect so many people I know - all inter-related. Makes me think of the times I spent in Leighton where the saying was “Don’t talk about anyone - you’re probably talking about their relative,” because everyone was related in that area. Jan. 23, 1984 Good morning from a former resident of Irving Twp. I notice in your article in the Sun and News that you are interested in the history of Barry County. My name is Helen Mainline, formerly Helen Travis, daughter of Frank Travis. My grandfather was Byron Travis, whose family moved to Michigan in a covered wagon when he was 3 years old and “took up” land in Irving Township. The original land grants dated 1845 and 1847 are in the museum at Charlton Park, Hastings. "My older brother, Roy Travis, married Daisy Palmer. Her brother, Amos Palmer, lives at Barlow REGISTRATION NOTICE FOR VILLAGE ELECTION Monday, March 12, 1984 TO THE QUALIFIED ELECTORS OF THE VILLAGE of CALEDONIA KENT COUNTY, MICHIGAN NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that in conformity with the “Michigan Election Law," t, the undersigned Clerk, will upon any day, except Sunday and a legal holiday, the day of any regular or special election or primary election, receive for registration the name of any legal voter in said Township, City or Village not already registered who may APPLY TO ME PER­ SONALLY for such registration. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT I WILL BE AT MY OFFICE February 13, 1984 LAST DAY FROM 8 O'CLOCK A.M. UNTIL 8 O'CLOCK P.M. THE 30TH DAY PRECEDING SAID ELECTION As provided by Section 498, Act No. 116 Public Acts of 1954 As Amended Lake. Roy moved to Grand Rapids. One daughter, Iris Williams, (Mrs. Lawton) lived in Middleville un­ til her death. Their children. Gail Williams and Luana Tolan. are residents of the area. Another brother, Earl Travis, married Elma Yeakley. They had 5 children. Earl worked at Brad­ ford White. They lived on a farm near Irving. I was bom in 1902 at the old farm in Irving Town­ ship. I am a graduate of Hastings High Class of 1920. Later that year I went to Grand Rapids to work as a stenographer, married Wason Frye in 1922 and we moved to Battle Creek about 1933. Wason died in 1940, and I married Earl Mainline in 1948. Earl died in 1976, and later that year I came to live here in Saraland, Alabama, to be near my younger brother. Wilson Travis. Wilson was a resident of Middleville. He retired from Bradford White in 1977 and now lives in Sat­ suma. Alabama. He has three children. Jasper Travis and Greta Barry, living in Hastings, and Jo Ann Carroll. She and her husband James live on Fremont Street in Middleville and Jim works at Bradford White. My brother remembers working on M-37 in 193537 from Adams Road to M-43. I believe WPA money was used for that part of it. Years ago my father played the fiddle and called for square dances at the Irving Grange Hall. At that time my mother played chords on the organ and later my brother Roy played the piano. One of the groups was Joe Willets. My mother. Carrie Travis, was a Pythian Sister in the Middleville Chapter. I believe her gran­ ddaughter, Iris Williams, was a member of that chapter too. Back in those days, all of the farmers went to town on Saturday. Mv mother took eggs and butter to the Gardner Grocery store to exchange for “staples.” My father took wheat to the old mill in Middleville to have it ground into flour we needed. Every time I went I had a 10< allowance. I always bought a pack of gum and went to the movies. One of the serials I liked was “The Perils of Pauline.” I think in those days Nellie Gillette, now Nell Schenkel, played the piano at the movies. She still lives in Middleville. We graduated in the same class in 1920. This is a lengthy - but fun to recall those good old days. I hope some of the information may be of use to you in your project. Sincerely Helen Mainline” Wasn’t that a lovely thing for Helen to do for us. I certainly appreciate learning more about people of this area. When I stayed with my Aunt Audie and Uncle George Steeby, we always went to “town” Wed­ nesday, or Friday or Saturday night, can’t remem­ ber which. I believe sometimes we went to “town” in Caledonia and sometimes in Middleville. Also remember one time going to Caledonia to the 5 c movies. The projector threw the image or movie on the white wall and that was our movie screen. My memory is of a long narrow space, on wooden ben­ ches, somewhere in the area of the restaurant and post office. One of the few times I’ve ever won anything was at that movie. I won an aluminum baking pan which I still have and use. In those days, aluminum pans were a brand new type of baking pan instead of the old, dull steel pan. My, was I proud. I was about 8 or 9 and remembered the benches because I had to walk all the way up to the front past all those people and benches. Another town night - in M iddleville, I remember Lucille Brog and I had to walk home, because Aunt Winnie and Uncle Will Brog couldn’t find us. So we had to walk three or more miles home at 11 o’clock. We were teenagers then. When we got by the Cridler farm (Green Lake and Cherry Valley) we were scared out of our wits by startled cattle and horses who stampeded to the fence by us. We thought, in the dark, they were going to run over us. So we stood, petrified and couldn’t move. Then did we ever feel silly when we realized they were just curious about what was going by on the road so late at night. We were so relieved we giggled all the rest of the way home. -at243 MAPLE STREET CALEDONIA, MICHIGAN For the purpose of REVIEWING the REGISTRATION and REGISTERING such of the qualified electors is said TOWNSHIP.

Jacqueline Cherry Village Clerk YOU and YOUR VISION By Richard J. Choryan, O.D. Your Baby Can See A baby can actually see from the moment he’s bom. but that doesn’t mean his vision is perfect. Objects that are about 8 to 12 inches from his eyes can be seen most clearly, those closer or farther away, however, are blurred. This is because baby hasn’t practiced moving his eyes to focus on objects, and the lenses in a newborn’s eyes can’t adjust to different distances during the first few weeks. With time and experience looking at things, and exercising the lens muscles, your newborn develops normal eyesight. At 2 or 3 months, he should be able to focus on objects as close as 4 to 6 inches and as far away as several feet. He should also be able to keep an object in clear focus as it is moved in towar­ ds his face, then away. Babies can see as clearly as an adult with normal vision by about 6 months of age.

January 31. Annually the Kent Skill Cen­ ter sends representatives to area schools to explain what Kent Skill Center is all about and the oppor­ tunities that the center provides for high school students. TK had the privilege of having Jim Garzelloni. Administrator, and Lori Wierenga, Public Relations Student Teacher, make the entertaining presentation to the students in the high school auditorium. Following the presentation, the studen­ ts were given the opportunity to sign up to visit either the College Avenue Facility or the East Beltline facility. A total of 85 students signed up to visit the facilities and the 36 vocational programs. The students that visited the East Beltline facility were greeted by Patreese Ingram and those who visited College Avenue were greeted by Barb Sund. The Skill Center is one of several vocational training institutions throughout the State of Michigan where high school students may receive vocational training and state licenses in several oc­ cupational areas. Additionally, several of the programs are articulation projects. The articulation project programs provide an opportunity for the students to earn college credit at a variety of state colleges such as Davenport, Grand Rapids Junior College and Ferris State College. The cost of attending the Skill Center for high school students is free. Students must fill out an ap plication to attend Skill Center and be recommended by the school’s selection committee. Presently, the TK schools send approximately 30% of its juniors and seniors to the Skill Center, whereas most schools send less than 20% of their juniors and seniors.

That, he says, enables both the young and the old to “maximize life at any age. It’s easy he says, “to grow older and not continue growing up.

Using a trend analysis of 4,000 New York women, Maria Roy identified some characteristics of abusive behavior among partners (married, com­ panions. divorced or separated). •Most abusive partners are between 26-35. •Domestic abuse usually occurs during the first 15 years of partnership. •About 90 percent of abusive partners do not have criminil records. •In over 70 percent of the population, domestic violence occurred immediately or very shortly after the partnership began. •Physical abuse is usually weaponless, resulting in bruising. ♦Over 80 percent of abusive partners have a history of childhood abuse or have witnessed abuse against their own mothers. •Only 33 percent of abused partners have a history of childhood abuse, invalidating theories which attribute the endurance of victims to masochism. •About 35 percent of abusers have alcohol problems.

Jon Moretti again led the way for Middleville, firing in 22 points. Jerry Steele had an excellent rebound night, hauling in ten and picking off five steals.

The second quarter was even better as the Trojans scored 19 points and went into the Locker room with a 36-25 lead. It was the same in the third quarter as the Trojans built a 15 point lead at 54 to 39. But the bottom almost fell out in the fourth quarter as everything went in that Maple Valley threw up and cut the lead to 2 points. The Trojan held their poise and held on to a well-deserved win. Leading the scoring was Doug Fox with 20 points. Dan DeMorrow had a season and career high of 19 points as he put on an outside shooting display. Kurt Henry scored 11 points.

Poor Shooting Hurts TK i Let Us Recover | West Catholic Freshmen came to town last week and went home a victor with a 53-43 triumph. Too many missed layups and too many turnovers proved to be the downfall of the Trojans. It was a good first quarter for Middleville as they led 13-10 at the end of it. The Trojans built an 8 point lead 1911 before Kurt Henry got his 3rd foul and had to leave the game. His absence was felt as West Catholic outscored the Trojans 14-2 and lead at the half 25-21.

Scott J.Jackson 2 and Eric Seubring 2. In the Caledonia game, the Trojans reversed an earlier setback as Caledonia won the first meeting 37-19.

We have been deluged with paper products over the past twenty years. The allure of paper is convenience and use once throw away’ mentality has permeated the market place, contributing greatly to our waste problems. Used paper products litter our environ­ ment, take up space in our landfill and waste a valuable resource. We can all avoid wasting paper by modifying our lifestyles. Try using sponges, rags and terry dish towels instead of paper towels. Use no-iron cloth napkins, handkerchiefs, lunchboxes, cloth diapers and real dishes and cups rather than paper or styrofoam. It is probably unrealistic and undesirable to com­ pletely eliminate paper products in the home, but remember that every piece of paper you replace with a cloth or other re-usable substitute means that much less trash in our landfill. Consider first, how much paper you use. Then think about what con­ veniences you can do without and start there. Anyone interested in recycling glass and metal can take their clean, separated (clear, green or brown) glass bottles and jars (no window glass or light bulbs) to the Hastings household recycling site at the fire station parking lot or the Middleville recycling site behind the Middle Mart Party Store on M-37. Tin cans can also be recycled and must be washed out. flattened and have labels removed Clean aluminum foil and pie plates must be washed and placed in appropriately marked barrels at either site. Glass and metal, as well as newspapers, brown bags and plastic milk jugs (washed out, labels removed and flattened) can also be recycled at the Caledonia Recycling site at Caledonia Foods on M37. Please remember that window glass, crockery and light bulbs cannot be recycled. Call 795-7897 or 948-8445 for more information on recycling or for requests for slide show presen­ tations. Win Tournament Opener The TK 8th grade basketball team opened the OK Blue Junior High tournament with a 33-19 win over Lee on January 27. The win improves their record to 8-1. The game looked close for the first part of the quarter as the Trojans seemed to be a little cold. As the quarter progressed, the Trojans finally got on track and blew the game wide open. The Trojans opened a 13-4 first quarter lead and by halftime, with the bench already seeing action, they lead 25-4. During the second half, the Trojan starters saw no action at all as the substitutes played the entire time. The second half saw Lee cut into the Trojan lead, but not enough to have any effect on the game. Leading the Trojan scoring were Brian Verlinde 13, Ross Sprague 6. Jeff Page 4. Steve Elgeston 4.

The first quarter was cIol as the two teams traded baskets with Byron Center coming out on top 10-8. The second quarter was all Byron Center as everything they shot seemed to go in. The Trojans, on the other hand, could not buy a basket as numerous shots literally went in and out of the baskets. Byron Center was able to build a 22-10 half time lead and it looked as if the Trojans fate was sealed. The Trojans came out fighting as the second half began. They shocked Byron Center by scoring 8 straight points on three steals and baskets by Brian Verlinde and a score by Tim Mesecar. By the end of the third quarter, the Trojans had fought back to take a 3 point lead going into the final quarter. Byron Center then came back to tie the game in the closing seconds as the Trojans missed a couple of opportunities to seal the game. In the overtime Byron Center quickly jumped to a 5-point lead but again the Trojans came back to close to within 2 points with only seconds left to play, but a last shot by the Trojans went in just as time expired. lading the Trojan scoring were Mesecar 18, Verlinde 12.

State Senate leadership has changed parties by demand of the people. Fed up with excessive taxation and spending, voters in Oakland and Macomb counties chose Republicans for their state senators and the makeup of the Senate changed dramatically. What does this mean to the people of Michigan? It means that the people have demanded - and taken back - the reins of government. Restoring the balance of power in state gover­ nment will be good for the people of Michigan. A Republican Senate will allow both viewpoints to be heard again in 1984. The Governor and Democratic legislators will be forced to cross the aisle to seek Republican views and votes. There will be more compromise and more bipartisan accomplishments a change that is overdue after a long, unproductive 1983. Democrats, with control of virtually every cham­ ber, office and committee in the Capitol, have, for the past year, enjoyed the luxury of ignoring Republicans. That attitude then extended to the citizenry as well, leading to the recall of two Democratic Senators. But just because the two recalled Senators hap­ pened to be Democrats and Republicans were chosen to replace them is no reason for Republicans to gloat. As we enjoy control of the State Senate, it is important to remember that the electorate did not recall two senators because they were Democrats. Caffeine Becoming A Product of Many Misconceptions They were recalled because they were unresponsive to the voters’ wishes. Those voters want fiscal responsibility and political accountability. This is the time for statesmanship on the part of all elected officials - for careful planning of worthy goals; for thinking about the opportunities of shared leadership; and for writing a progressive and am­ bitious agenda. As Republicans gain control of Senate committees, they will have the opportunity to turn the spotlight on proposals that have been lying neglected on Democratic shelves: education reform, changes in the workers’ and unemployment compensation systems, single business tax reform, an income tax rollback, state spending cuts, forestry and agriculture incentives, and expanded workfare provisions, to cite a few examples. It is certainly more challenging to be the majority than it is to be the loyal opposition. Things are going to change - but for the better, as Republicans are given the opportunity to demonstrate what can be achieved when both parties participate - to show that in our opposition have been positive alter­ natives. And. we do know how to make a difference. A Republican Senate majority represents a second chance, a new opportunity for people of all opinions and concerns to be represented in Lansing; and a chance to advance, in Michigan, some of the economic principles that have been working so well at the national level. In the last few years, there has been a great deal of discussion on caffeine and its safety. As a result of this concern, many misconceptions have arisen on caffeine and its effects, and also on the amount of caffeine certain foods contain. Caffeine containing foods have been associated with a wide variety of conditions including ulcers, heartbum. heart disease, cancer, fibrocystic breast disease and birth defects. Coffee, both regular and decaffeinated, do increase secretions of stomach acid. The caffeine in coffee does not seem to be the cause of this since decaffeinated coffee usually in­ creases the flow of stomach acid more than regular coffee. Caffeine alone does not cause heart bum. However, coffee has been shown to relax the muscles in the esophagus in some people and therefore cause heartburn. The largest study of women with fibrocystic disease showed no association between the consumption of caffeine. There is no evidence to support the theory that caf­ feine is carcinogenic. The largest study to date evaluating 16.000 patients from 1967 to 1979, found no relationship between affeine and any form of can­ cer. The information on cardiovascular disease and caffeine is somewhat contradictory. One study reported that those drinking 1 to 5 cups of coffee a day increased the risk of heart attack by 50% and 6 or more cups a day by 120%. Another more long­ term study where patients have been followed over 22 years showed no relationship between coffee con­ sumption and coronary heart disease. Most of the discussion on caffeine most recently BY PAUL HILLEGONDS, 54th Dist. State Representative has been related to its causing birth defects.

A classroom teacher in drafting and wood working shop, Rhines’ first love was wrestling in high school. "I missed being TK’s wrestling coach by about two hours,” chuckled Rhines. “I followed Tom Lehman interviewing for a teaching and coaching job here, and you know who got the job! ” A graduate in 1967 from Ithaca, Rhines was a standout wrestler at his high school and played linebacker and flanker on the football team. He also participated in track. When Rhines came to Middleville, he became Ray Page’s assistant junior varsity coach, ser­ ving in this capacity for six seasons. In 1978 and ’79 he remembers having his “best See RHINES. Page 2 �Pg. 2 / The Sun and News, Middleville. Ml I Feb. 16,1984 MY DAD My father was a kindly man — Born and bred to till the land.

CLARK Forrest Arden Clark, formerly of Middleville, died in Escondido, California on January 27, 1984 at age 77. He is survived by his wife Constance; sons Frederick Clark of Orlando, Fla. and Donald Clark of Parma, Mi; daughter Terrie Dawn Clark of North Hollywood, Ca., and sister, Bea Slocum of Kissim­ mee, Florida; grandchildren and great-grands. Mr. Clark was bom in Middleville and lived here until the mid-1930’s. ‘Churchaholics’ Need More Positive view of Leisure Some people believe that cleanliness is next to godliness. But now our culture has rephrased the adage to fit life in the fast lane, and many now believe that fatigue is next to godliness, according to minister Charles R. Swindoll. Against that notion, Swindoll affirms the value of leisure in a film entitled “Leisure: Attention all Workaholics (and Churchaholics)". The film will be shown at 11:00 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. Sunday, February 19, at the Caledonia Christian Reformed Church. “There’s more to being a whole person than working hard.’’ Swindoll says in the film series “Strengthening Your Grip ”. Leisure," he says, “is a biblical necessity." Invite Everyone to Women’s Aglow Everyone is welcome to attend the February W’omen’s Aglow meeting which will be on Thur­ sday, the 23rd at The Note of Praise, 12223 Chief Noonday Road, 9:30 a.m. Eileen Lepard will be the speaker for the February meeting. She has touched many with her soft, gentle way of sharing her love relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. A wife, mother and member of the Lepard Family Singers of Lansing, she shares and teaches on Christian family living, a woman's unique relationship with the Lord, and many areas of personal growth. Babysitting is provided at Women’s Aglow meetings, and coffee and rolls are furnished.

When Page was named head varsity coach in 1981, Rhines became his defensive coordinator and served in that position through last fall. He feels he did his best coaching job (for a single game) last fall when Middleville nipped Hamilton, 8-6. Three times his defensive unit held Hamilton inside the 10 yard line, even though the Hawkeyes outweighed TK by 20 pounds per man. ROBERT L. BIGGS Robert L.

When asked, I just stared. How could I possibly narrow it down to one absolute favorite? Without a moment's hesitation I could list at least fifty books that are memorable to me. I’m interested to know your favorite books. Perhaps you will take a minute and fill in the questionnaire below. I d like to compile a list of per­ sonal favorites of public patrons. In this way it’s possible to learn what kinds of books are the most popular. It would be useful if you could also note what kind of books you particularly enjoy. Do you enjoy historical novels, biographies, romantic novels, science fiction, spy and espionage novels, humorous, or other kinds? With this information, we hope to increase the collection in the direction in which you are most interested. It’s often hard to judge a book by the cover. Some sound interesting after reading the blurb, but turn out to be boring. Others that would ordinarily never draw your attention are enjoyable books. I’m sure public patrons would appreciate suggestions from patrons with similar reading tastes. After reading some books I’m able to direct those patrons who en­ joy the same kinds of books with success. It’s im­ possible for me to read every book in the library (although I’d like to try). Nor would I enjoy the same ones as others. I need your help! I’ve narrowed my list of favorites down to ten. Some of them will sound familiar to you. Others, you’ve probably never heard of. These are not in or­ der of preference because I found it an impossible task. The Clan of the Cave Bears and The Valley of Horses by Jean M. Auel. Sagas of Ayea and the Earth Children who live in a different time and culture. A Woman of Substance by Barbara Taylor Brad­ ford. Traces the life of Emma from poverty stricken youth in England to one of the most powerful women in America. Jubilee Trail by Gwen Bristow. Garnet marries a trader who travels across the country annually. Ad­ venture and excitement follow. The Robe by Lloyd Douglas. A man wins the Robe of Jesus after the crucifixion and his life is changed from that point on. North and South by John Jakes. The effect of the Civil War is portrayed through Jakes’ characters. The Thom Birds by Colleen McCullough. This is the story of Meggie and the man she loves, priest Ralph de Bricassart set in Australia. Evergreen by Belva Plain. Anna is an immigrant from Poland to New York around 1900. This story tells of her loves and struggles to survive. Exodus by Leon Uris. This novel tells of Israel how it came to be. Through the battles and the famine love still survives. The Second Lady by Irving Wallace. The first lady is abducted and a Russian spy is put in her place. Is it possible to fool the President? The Friendly Persuasion and Except for Me and Thee by Jessamyn West. The Birdwells are a Quaker family attempting to live a pious life. Through laughter and wisdom the Birdwell’s guide their six children through the Civil War years. What are your favorites? If you have a difficult time narrowing it down, list several.

State Representative Final Voting Highlights From Fall 83 Session Voting highlights, continued: Late Payments. Signed into law, this package will require the state to pay interest to local governmen­ ts whenever revenue sharing payments are delayed. My vote: yes. Mental Health Care for Children. I co-sponsored and voted for major revisions in the Mental Health Code to consolidate admission, discharge and pre­ release planning procedures for children who require mental health treatment. Motor Fuel Quality. The House approved legislation establishing purity and quality standar­ ds for gasoline sold in Michigan. Labeling of grades and additives, testing and inspection and penalties for non-compliance would be required to protect motorists. The bill awaits Senate action. I voted yes. Auto Manufacturers and Dealers. To assist auto dealers who too often find themselves at the mercy of heavy-handed manufacturers, this bill — now law — will require the auto companies to offer dealers more balanced terms on franchise market areas, termination of franchise agreements and reimbur­ sement for warranty claims. My vote: yes. Crisis Counseling Privileges. The law today will not allow communications between a sexual assault victim and a psychiatrist or psychologist to be ad­ mitted as evidence in a court case unless the victim consents. I voted for House-passed legislation that would extend this trust-building privilege to coun­ selors who serve in crisis centers. Annual Township Meetings. In some areas, the annual township meeting is little more than a tradition from less complicated times. Now major How much does it take to get an IRA off the ground? The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I Feb. 16,1984 I Pfl. 3 board decisions are made at regular monthly meetings which are open to interested citizens. The House passed, and I voted for a bill that would per­ mit local voters in townships to approve ballot proposals abolishing the currently-required annual meeting. Coordinating Fire Protection. In recent years a growing number of businesses and homeowners have installed dialing devices which automatically alert fire departments to apparent fires. However, malfunctioning systems have resulted in many false alarms and difficult decisions by fire departments as to whether dwellings should be broken into when owners are not present. I supported House-passed legislation that would require prior approval by local fire departments before such devices could be installed, so that responses to such alarms can be planned in advance. Towing Mobile Homes. I opposed a Houseapproved bill that further relaxes the standard length - from 70 to 80 feet - of pre-built homes which may be transported on Michigan roads. The i increased length will require an additional 8 feet of turning room, a safety problem on two-lane country roads or city streets. Sooner or later, a line must be drawn and manufacturers should be expected to transport larger homes in sections. Cleaning Up. To assist Michigan trial courts that are running out of storage space, the House passed legislation that would shorten the length of time courts are required to store stenographer and recor­ der notes. My vote: yes. Financing Auto Purchases. I supported a Housepassed bill that would allow savings and loan in­ stitutions to indirectly finance auto installment loans offered by dealers - authority banks already enjoy. Raising Fees. Fees to record instruments such as deeds and mortgages with the county register of deeds have not been raised since 1973. I voted for House-adopted legislation that would increase the first-page rate from $3 to $5. Processing Witnesses. Now pending in the Senate, this House bill would prohibit an employer from discharging or disciplining an employee who has been summoned to court as a witness. I voted yes. A Better Return. Also awaiting Senate action is a House bill which would allow county drain com­ missioners to consolidate drainage accounts under $1,000 for short term investment purposes • when there is no immediate need to use an account for a specific drain project. My vote: yes. , For the entire 1983 legislative session, I was present for 98.5% of the recorded House votes.

If enacted, the bill could save the state money by avoiding duplication of services. Although the measure, House Bill 5265. would reduce costs, standards would not suffer as federal law already covers many of the same areas as the MIOSHA. the 1974 law which sets the health and safety standards for Michigan workers.

It is a warm, comforting feeling to be the recipient of STATE OF MICHIGAN such thoughtfulness. One of the complaints often leveled at our legislative/political system is that there is simply too much legislation introduced and enacted into law. This is one of the arguments frequently used by proponents of a part-time legislature. It seems to presume that legislation is inherently bad. and that if we could just stop passing laws, we would be bet­ ter off. One of my priorities since taking office, is to focus on legislation which would repeal or reduce existing laws, rather than adding new ones to our already over-legislated and over-regulated society.

MIF*. 16.1984 Caledonia Wrestling Caledonia Basketball Bench Comes Out Strong for Scots It was a case of bench versus bench last Tuesday night at Caledonia as the Fighting Scots bench came through against the Comstock Park Panthers, defeating them 76-68. The Panthers were without the services of their fine guard, Jack Houghton, and the Scots played most of the game without starters Scot DeVries and Marc Mitchell, who had foul trouble. Caledonia never trailed in the contest as Mike Wilson put on a shooting clinic all four quarters as he poured in 40 points in his finest performance of the season. Scott DeVries, who had trouble connec­ ting in the first half and who played a total of P/i quarters because of foul trouble, scored 13 on the night, seven of which came in the early part of the third quarter. Mark Bower filled in for Mitchell and scored six points in the second half to put on a fine performance. Comstock Park put together their usual balanced scoring attack as four Panthers hit double figures. Jeff Johnson led the way with 18, Larry Maple and Steve Patema had 13 each, and Paul Bogdans put in For the winners, Mike Wilson led the way with 14 rebounds. Marc Mitchell grabbed 7 and Scot DeVries 5. The action puts the Scots at 4-6 and the Panthers at 6-4. Bulldogs Hand Caledonia a Loss The Caledonia Varsity basketball team had their worst shooting performance of the year, 19-50 for 38%while losing, 57-46 to Byron Center on Friday, February 3. The Scots got themselves in a hole from the start as they gave up 21 points in the 1st quarter while only posting 10. The Scots were lucky to be down by only 11 at half, as their hustle kept the game in reach. The Scots were down by as much as 16 points in the first half, but refused to go down early. The third quarter was total disaster as the Scots held Byron to only 11 points but could manage only 6 for themselves. Caledonia managed to get the score down to a dif­ ference of 9 in the final quarter, but the early lead by Byron was too much to overcome. Mark Nyland took game scoring honors with 18 for Byron Center. Scott Allan had 15 and Bob Wormeester 14. For the Scots, Mark Mitchell led with 14 points and Mike Wilson added 10. Scott DeVries showed exceptional hustle and shared the reboun­ ding honors for the Scots with Bryan Finkbeiner grabbing 6 boards. Freshman Demolish Martin; Lose to B.C.

Three others 8-7 first quarter advantage. The pressure on defense netted 6 points - Matt Kietzman and Donn Bon- didn’t let up again in the second quarter, but zheim combined for 8 of the 12 points scored in the Caledonia could only muster 4 points to Byron’s 7 to trail 14-12 at the half. “The first half was a fine ball game for both squads, with neither team getting much to go in the basket.

"In the first half we couldn’t get any of­ fense generated. What offense we had came from Mike Wilson who scored 15 of the 24 points of the half,” Coach Hulst added. The Trojans were defeated at Kelloggsville with a close score of 65-63. Dave Perry led the scoring with 16 points and Steve Miller had 13.

Harvey and Sharon have three sons; Jeff Taylor, who is a sophomore; Chad Becker, 12 and John Becker 9, and all have worked super-hard on the restoration that's been going on.

Bob Henry, owner of the roll­ off bins which house the glass, arranged for the transportation to Owens-Illinois in charlotte. The Hastings site was opened on May 21, 1983, and it is located in the fire station parking lot on Mill Street. Almost nine tons of glass were saved from being landfilled. This represents an average of one ton per month being recycled in Hastings. The Middleville site opened on October 30, 1982 and it is located behind the Middle Mart party store on M-37. Nearly 6 tons of glass were saved from being landfilled. The two recycling sites accept both glass and metal. Only clear, green or brown glass is recyclable.

Preliminary examination of the vote in Monday’s Primary Election gives rise to the belief that a sub­ stantial number of people "spoiled” their ballot. In a race that really had only one question, incumbent Robert Sullivan beat out Marge Ix>ew for their par­ ty's nomination for village president. A total of 107 people went to the polls, and of that number 9 voted in the Republican side of the ledger. 80 in the Democrat primary, and 18 votes were rejected by the vote tallying equipment. What probably happened is that close to 18 voters "crossed over," voting in both the GOP and Democratic columns. In a primary election, thi* cannot be done and the entire ballot is rejected, or "spoiled." In the March general election, there will be a con­ test between Sullivan and his Republican opponent. David E. Tubergen. Also, three trustees will be elec­ ted from a field of 2 Democrats and 2 Republicans (for four year terms). All other candidates will be unopposed. The voting totals were as follows: President: Robert Sullivan (D)*........................... 43 Marge R. Ix>ew (D)..............................36 David E. Tubergen (R)*........................ 8 Clerk: Shirley A. Eaton (R)*.............................9 Treasurer: Gary E. Rounds (R)*.............................9 Trustee: Floyd W. Bray (D)*............................. 53 (4 yr. term) Valerie A. Owen (D)*........................... 51 William B. Hardy (R)*..........................9 Marilyn K. VandenBerg (R)*.............. 9 Trustee: Connie Duyser (D)...............................53 (2 yr. terms) Joseph H. Scott (d)*.............................48 (• indicates candidate) Regina Stein received 6 write-in votes for the position of assessor, but a candidate must receive 10 votes to be certified for the general election ballot. The general election will be held on March 12. Large Turnout in Caledonia’s Vote Voters in Caledonia nominated their candidates for the general election set for next month, and one incumbent trustee’s name will not be on the ballot. Charles Roetman, running for re-election, came in last in a field of four candidates; three vacancies had to be filled. Jay Shook was nominated for treasurer, beating out his nearest competitor, Jan Freeman, by 3 votes. A total of 150 people voted in the primary, said Clerk Jackie Cherry. "The most people we’ve had vote in recent elections was 161 in 1977 when liquor-by-the-glass was on the ballot,’’ said Cherry. Only Republicans were nominated in the primary, receiving the following votes: President Hugh Kegerreis*.................................. 104 Clerk Jacqueline Cherry*...................................... 122 Treasurer: J ay Shook*.............................................. 57 Janice Freeman....................................... 57 Gayle Ott.................................................. 25 Trustees: John R.

Sorry I didn’t get to call all of you but my daughter Cay came home for a short stay “Just to smell good old country air,” and 1 wanted to visit with her while she was here. She’s had the flu that a lot of college kids are getting and can t seem to shake. She runs a fever, not terribly high, but feels dumpy and tired, can’t work or go to class. She said it was really the country girl in her that needed to get the peace and beauty of the country to recharge her batteries and then, maybe, she could get rid of the flu. The dog and I went for a walk to hunt for the skunk cabbage blossoms, but it was in a hollow and had too much snow on it yet. That’s my harbinger of spring that I look for every year. Eltha Nichols said she heard from her daughter out on the west coast. Her son-in-law called and said his wife had another surgery on her hip and this time it seems to have helped. She had surgery a year ago on the same hip, but had a great deal of trouble all year. Eltha also said her grandson in Grand Rapids had surgery on his ears and is eating much better than he has for days. He’s in kindergarten, so it pleased her to have success with the operation.

State Representative Option Awareness Needed in Abortion Issue “The question of life is the question of the 20th century. Race and poverty are dimensions of the life question, but discussions about abortion have brought the issue into focus in a much sharper way . .’’ Presidential candidate Jesse Jackson wrote those words in a 1977 article expressing his concern about our nation’s liberal abortion policy. What was he talking about? Recently compiled statistics may help to answer that question: —Of the estimated 1.6 million abortions perfor­ med annually in our country, about 45,000 take place each year in Michigan. Nearly half of those abortions in Michigan are Medicaid-financed. —The rate of terminating unborn childrens’ lives is about 2l/t times higher for poor Michigan citizens than it is for the general public. —Black women received 67% of all Medicaid abortions in 1982, though blacks comprise only 42% of those on major welfare programs. —In 1982, six groups of clinics, mainly Detroit area-based, performed more than 53% of the state’s Medicaid abortions. Such numbers can be and are used in a variety of ways by pro-life and pro-choice organizations, to me they suggest that abortion is big business; that our nation’s abortion policy has made it too easy to ter­ minate life as a method of birth control; that this method is being pushed especially among one segment of our population: the nation’s poor. And so I wonder on the issue of Medicaid-funded abortions what the real issue of choice is? In fact, studies in Ohio and Georgia after those states stop­ ped funding Medicaid abortions showed that such policies had a marginal impact on the number of abortions: 80% of those poor women who would CAPITOL COLUMN have been eligible for Medicaid funding still found alternative funding to pay for abortions. The larger question of choice, I believe, is whether options to abortion, and information about those options, are being made available to poor women. Rather than subsidizing the abortion clinic industry at the rate of $5.7 million annually, the legislature should be appropriating those funds and more for pre-natal and post-natal care, for child nutrition and other childrens’ services for the states’ poor. Likewise, the state out to be encouraging informed decisions by those who are considering whether or not to have an abortion. It is with these ideas in mind that last week I in­ troduced a pregnancy services awareness proposal in the House. The bill would require clinics and other health centers that perform abortions to make available to women, at initial counseling sessions, a state-published pamphlet listing private and public agencies that offer alternatives to abortion. Such in­ formation about pre-natal, post-natal and adoption services would also be available by a toll-free state hotline and state public service messages. In a legislature that is divided deeply by traditional “pro-life” and “pro-choice” philosophies, representatives from both sides have joined me in introducing this proposal. Not coincidentally, the list of co-sponsors includes a couple of my colleagues from inner city Detroit. As Chicago Tribune columnist Joan Beck wrote recently, “The abortion issue won’t go away because it is incompatible with medical facts and with the nation’s concern for human rights.” My legislation is a small one, but, I hope, more than symbolic effort to keep these issues of life and justice before us in a positive way. BY DICK POSTHUMUS, 31st District State Senator Many Proposals Offered for Income Tax Rollback Rolling back the income tax: no longer does it seem to be a question of if’, rather, it’s now a question of how. At last count, there were as many as five different proposals, all costing varying amounts of money, to cut Michigan’s extremely un­ popular income tax increase. And that’s just in the State Senate. One proposal simply gets rid of the tax hike and lowers Michigan’s current tax rate of 6.1% back to its original 4.6%. That rollback would cost ap- Travel Insurance? One name says it best.

R^VIKK REALTORS OF CALEDONIA PHONE 891-9219 ★ FOR PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE SERVICE ♦ 9790 Chany Vdtoy proximately $525 million in tax revenues this liscal year. With estimates that the 1984 suplus will be around $260 million, this plan would mean a cut in spending of at least that much. A less dramatic idea suggests matching the ex­ pected surplus of $160 million to a tax cut — which would mean dropping the rate from 6.1% to 5.35%. That would mean a slight cut in government spen­ ding of about $2 million dollars, which could be ac­ complished with little pain and anguish in the state departments. A more general plan simply states that once the budget surplus is established, a tax cut would be matched to that amount. Another places surplus revenues in the state’s Budget Stabilization Fund. Still another suggestion would roll the tax back by .01% per million dollars of surplus. This, however would ultimately be the most dramatic of the rollback plans • resulting in an actual cut in the state income tax rate from 6.1 to 3.9%, which would require an enormous cut in state spending. Getting away from the tax rate rollback angle completely, another senator has proposed hiking the personal income tax exemption claimed on tax returns, from $1,500 to $4,000. That would mean a $600 million cut in the overall budget — so after the surplus, a cut of at least $340 million would be required during this fiscal year. That is the most far reaching plan. The most limited proposal, in terms of dollar cuts, is one that would cut the income tax rate from 6.1% to 5.85%, costing about $87 million this fiscal vear. Whether any of these proposals will see the light of day remains to be seen, however. Even if they do manage to pass both houses of the Legislature, Governor Blanchard has said he will veto any proposal that cuts the budget more than he is willing to. Blanchard prefers his own plan, a cut in (he income tax rate from 6.1% to 5.35%, but not un­ til October 1. All that plan does is move up the already scheduled decrease by three months. What will atually happen to the income tax should be the subject of much controversy over the coming weeks Since the proposal will come before the Senate Finance Committee, of which I am still a member. I will be directly involved in the debate as lawmakers contemplate the message sent to Lan­ sing by taxpayers in the form of recalls.

We were flying on a Y-6 pass, a special $100 per person round trip, as family of Northwest Orient em­ ployees. We arrived at Minneapolis/St. Paul airport but were unable to travel to Phoenix that night as the flight was filled with full fare passengers, and 18 of us Y-6 passengers had to get a hotel for the night. The weather was quite sharp that night standing out by the street to catch a hotel van to ride to a hotel. Our Thursday flight wasn’t quite so crowded and we were able to resume our flight. Arriving at Phoenix at noon, we phoned Mike at work and he picked us up and took us to his apartment and returned to work. That evening we all went to din­ ner to a place much like our Western Sizzlin. Very good. He then drove us to Chandler to his shop and showed us around, which we appreciated. Mike had rented a car for us as he had recently had an accident with his Granada and his other car only has two bucket seats in it. While Mike was at work. Ralph and I. with the help of a Mesa map, drove to the Apache Trail and Junction, to Super­ stition Mt. and about 15 miles on winding roads around the mountainside to Canyon Lake, which was very beautiful but a little nerve tightening. On the way back we saw orange and grapefruit trees loaded with fruit. In the afternoon we attended a movie. On Saturday after Mike worked until noon, we all went to Scottsdale, which is about 20 miles away, to visit at the home of Tom Martin and family who were to Las Vegas for the weekend for their wedding anniversary. Clarence and Olive Martin, Gordon and Ruth, who are vacationing there, welcomed us and showed us the beautiful home and surrounding area. Tom and wife own horses and their oldest daughter has won many trophies showing them. They have a grapefruit and also a lemon tree in the back yard and they picked each of us a lemon. I measured the one I had and it was 18‘/i” in circum­ ference. They are round and much larger than grapefruit. I was amazed. They have many beautiful shrubs, both in front and back of the home. Later we drove to Fountain Hills to see the tallest stream of water shooting straight up out of a foun­ tain in a man made lake. The sun was shining so we could see a rainbow on the stream of water. It was beaufitul. On Sunday the three of us left at 7 a.m. to drive to Flagstaff about 150 miles away. On the way, at Camp Verde, our car gave us problems. An alternator defected and we had to find a garage man to replace it. We were detained about 1 ‘/i hours. The drive through Oak Creek Canyon was breathtakingly beautiful, with the red colored, weather carved mountains, slender oak trees and different cactus plants growing along the way. Many motion pic­ tures are filmed at Sedona. The tall (some 30 ft.) saguaros, the flat beaver tail, the jumping challa and many other cactus plants grace the area. We dined at Dennys in Flagstaff. There was snow on top of those mountains, and upon returning home we took the road through Payson. We went by St. Marys Lake, Mormon Lake, which was 6000 feet above sea level. We stopped for ice cream, then to Seguero Lake and as we came closer to Mesa we drove over to view the big fountain again. It is tur­ ned on. on the hour, for 20 minutes each time. Arizona has many irrigation canals for agriculture. They have two rainy seasons. March and September. They usually have floods so strong it makes a washed out path it usually follows for each flood and many of the expressway bridges are partially washed out each time. We were too late to see cotton growing. It was already harvested. But some cotton still lay in the fields. In the Mesa valley area there were palm trees and a few olive trees, which are only for looks. In the Flagstaff area there are many pine trees growing right up the sides of the mountain. It reminds one of our upper peninsula, in this area. The temperature at Mesa was in the 70s. The courtyard where Mike lives is beautiful. It has a heated pool and many of the senior citizens would sit or he out in the sun by the pool in their bathing suits, but I wasn’t as yet acclimated to their temperatures enough to sun bathe. The palm trees are all trimmed and beautiful and the cactus are so sassy. The homes are practically all made of stucco as Arizona has very little wood to build with and it needs to be shipped in. We took many walks. On Tuesday morning, Mike drove us back to the airport and said good by and went back to work. We had no problems flying home. We phoned my brother Harold Miller to pick us up at the airport. We arrived at our house at 5:20 p.m. We had a lovely vacation, but it is always nice to come home again. Folkpatterns Leads 4-H’ers Into World of Family Traditions A new 4-H program called “Folkpatterns’’ is helping young people to explore and understand their cultural heritage. Youth learn to document traditions in their own families or communities and often pass these traditions or skills on to others. Folkpatterns is an opportunity to discover what is special about our past, about or families, or about our communities. It is a chance to share the special skills or traditions that are unique to your family, your neighbors or your community. What are 4-H’ers searching for? The variety of subjects is endless . . What are your family’s Easter traditions? How did your community start? What are the local home recipes for curing a cold? How did a local craftsperson (wood carver, quilter, etc.) learn their skill? What is the history of the oldest house or homestead in your community? What type of games do you play, what kind did your parents play .. your grandparents? 4-H’ers involved in Folkpattems use a vareity of techniques to document their findings .. inter­ viewing people, tape-recording stories, photographing people and places, writing down Week of February 27 The Folkpattems project can be used in many ways.

Middleville, Caledonia to Play in Same Class C Basketball Tournament For the first time in recent memory, Middleville and Caledonia basketball teams will be playing in the same District Basketball tournament. The local teams will be playing in the Class C Districts to be held at Byron Center starting next Monday. Middleville will be kicking off the action when it meets Hopkins in Game One at 7:30 p.m. Both the Trojans and Hopkins have similar records, with NO. 9 • Hopkins posting one more win than Middleville. Caledonia drew a bye for the first round and will meet the winner of the Byron Center - South Christian game in Game Four on Thursday night. Favored by most to take the Districts, and perhaps move up in the chase for State honors, will be the Hamilton Hawkeyes. Hamilton, outright winner of the OK Blue championship, has an 18-1 record this season. The finals for the Districts will be held on Satur­ day afternoon, starting at 2:00 p.m. For the seventh time, Middleville will be rolling out the "red carpet” for 208 wrestlers competing for State honors. A total of 74 schools from across Michigan will be represen­ ted in the two day affair, starting on Friday morning and going through Saturday evening. Ray Page, TK Athletic Director and tour­ nament director, said that all is in readiness for the “invasion.” Lined up are over 150 TK students, numerous teachers and a host of TK Boosters to keep the tournament running smoothly. Page, in a talk before the Middleville Rotarians on Tuesday, said that the com­ munity is proud to be able to conduct the State Finals. “It also has helped our athletic program financially each year,” he said. Last year the school realized over $8,000 in “profits” from the State Finals. “We wouldn’t be able to take on the Finals without the cooperation of our students and the Boosters each year,” reported Page. “Their volunteer help makes it all possible.” Admission to the preliminary matches is $2.00 and the finals on Saturday night are set at $3.00. Middleville does not have a represen­ tative in the tournament this year. HAMILTON (18-1) MIDDLEVILLE (10 9) GAME THREE WED., MARCH 7 7:30 P.M. GAME ONE MONDAY, MARCH 5 7:30 P.M.

Branches can be used as background for an arrangement or for an en­ tire floral display. Trees and shrubs which flower in early spring form their flower buds in early summer. The buds remain on the plant through summer and fait Win­ ter supplies the cold temperatures required for the flowers to bloom in spring. However, after a period of cold weather, usually after the first of January, branches can be cut and flower buds forced into bloom early. The closer to the normal blossoming time the branches are cut, the less time it will take to force the buds into flower. A few weeks is all that is required for your home to come alive with the beauty and fragrance of spring flowers. Shrubs are often easier to force into bloom than trees. Choose forsythia, spicebush, flowering almond, quince, honeysuckle, bridal wreath spirea LANSING DIARY or redtwig dogwood for good results. Trees such as redbud, cherry and crabapple can also be easily for­ ced. If you desire a challenge, plants such as magnolia or flowering dogwood may flower, but don’t expect them to look exactly like they do in the spring. Select young, healthy branches which are not diseased, split or scaly. Cut the branches just above a side bud or node, so that no stub is left on the plant. Vary the length of the branches, but keep them between 6 and 18 inches long, so they may be attractively arranged indoors. Only choose branches that have flower buds. These buds are usually larger and fatter than leaf buds. With fruit trees, locate branches that have “spurs” - these are W long, compact side branches where flowering occurs. After you bring your dormant branches indoors, recut the stems on a slant just above the previous BY PAUL HILLEGONDS, 54th Dist. State Representative Look For Fewer Stalemates cut. Peel back some bark above the cut end. If the temperatures were below freezing when the branches were collected, immerse them fully in cool water for several hours. This will help keep the flower buds from bursting prematurely. If the weather is above freezing, there’s no need to soak the branches. Next, put the branches in a container which will support them in an upright position. Add hot water (180*f) no higher than 3 inches on the gtem. Allow the water to stand for 20 to 30 minutes, and then add additional tepid water. Place the container in a cool (60 to 65®f), partially shaded location. Be sure to keep the branch ends in water. In one to five weeks, when the buds show color, the branches can be arranged and moved into a lighted room. To keep your flowers fresh, change the water daily. Keep blooms away from the direct sunlight, and place the arrangement in a cool location. Avoid setting the flowers on television sets, refrigerators and other appliances that generate heat. This will shorten the life of your flowers. For more information, call Kent County Cooperative Extension Service at 774-3265. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ More Balance at the State Capitol. With the election of two Republican Senators to replace the recalled Democratic lawmakers, the G.O.P. now holds a 2018 Senate majority. Republicans haven’t controlled either house of the legislature since 1974. The swit­ ch in power means much more than bigger offices and larger staffs. The essence of holding a legislative majority is the ability to appoint com­ mittee chairpeople to work with the leader in setting the agenda of issues. Republican taxing and spen­ ding policies and economic and social proposals can now be initiated as positive alternatives to the Governor’s program. Of course, passage of such measures in the Senate does not mean they will become law. But obstacles in the House and Governor’s office will not necessarily end in stalemate. Rather I expect con­ structive compromising on such questions as a tax rollback, the 1984-85 budget, and the prevailing wag requirement now attached to the Governor’s strategic investment fund proposal. House Republicans, while still a minority, at least can look forward to having a stronger bargaining hand this year. To maximize our role, we are working with the Senate majority to coordinate policy ideas and develop strategies for their enac­ tment. Where’s the Budget? Though Governor Blan­ chard announced in general terms his 1984-85 budget on January 23, 1984, three weeks later frustrated Appropriations Committee members were still waiting for most of the details. It appears that the governor’s decision to change fiscal direc­ tion and propose a speeded-up tax rollback and zero growth budget were made at the last minute. Rumors are that the budget office is finding it dif­ ficult to pare spending in specific program areas. Already a number of influential legislators are quietly complaining about some of the Governor’s anticipated spending reductions. While the budget debate will be intense, I predict that a zero growth general fund budget will eventually pass this spring. Recovering from Paralysis. Now that the Senate is re-organized and recall fever appears to be sub­ siding, legislative committees have started back to work. Personally, I expect to be busy this session. In addition to regular meetings of the Taxation, Labor and House Policy Committees, I am serving on special House panels reviewing sunset legislation, the lobby reporting law, oil and gas development in Michigan, and existing business tax abatements. Foresight or Fiasco? Governor Blanchard generally deserves high marks for his efforts to un­ do the accounting gimmickery which hid Michigan’s long-term debt and hurt the state’s credit rating. However, he may have accrued a new long-range problem by recently signing early retirement legislation for civil service employees. Available this year only, the measure is expected to encourage 1500 to 2000 state employees to take early retirement. That will save the state an estimated $60 million in payroll costs - but only if the vacated positions are not filled. If some agencies find them­ selves short-staffed and are granted exceptions to the hiring freeze, the net result may be less savings in payroll costs coupled with a greater, long-term pension liability. More Money or More Jobs? Grand Rapids Senator Paul Henry has incurred the wrath of state employees by sponsoring a resolution that would reject the collectively bargained proposal for a 5% civil service pay hike next year. Elected officials’ pay would also be frozen. The Senator’s reasoning cannot be ignored, however. Freezing state em­ ployee pay would save $70 million next year - and could preserve 3,000 state jobs now slated for elimination. Among the 20 most populated states, Michigan currently has the lowest number of state employees per 1000 citizens, but the highest or second-highest paid state workforce. Civil Service employment has dropped from 70,000 to under 60,000 within the past four years. That has resulted in a leaner, but not always more efficient state government. Senator Henry is saying it’s time to consider keeping state employees on the job, at more competitive wages and benefits. I agree with him.

Caledonia just couldn’t stop Kelloggsville center Mike Smits as he took game honors by powering in 28 points. Smits and guard Dan Snyder, who had 19 points, gave the Scots fits during the second and third quarters as they combined for 30 points during those two periods. In the meantime. Caledonia could muster only 25 points from their entire team during the same two periods. In the fourth quarter the Scots made a valiant comeback bid led by Mike Wilson as he scored 13 of his 25 points in that period. The inside play of Scot DeVries, who scored 18 points and grabbed 7 rebounds, and Bryan Finkbeiner, 13 points, were the other force behind the comeback. The Scots shot 3056 for 54% from the floor and 12-15/61% from the line. Kelloggsville was 31-51/61% from the floor and 14-25/56% from the line. With his 25 point performance, Mike Wilson became the first player from Caledonia to score over 1000 points in a varsity career. Wilson is now at 1001 points and has at least two games left this year. Congratulations, Mike. Team Work Topples Wildcats Wayland was the location for Caledonia’s fresh­ man basketball team to record its 7th victory in six­ teen games, 35-21. The Wildcats were controlled most of the game and in each of the first three quarters could only muster 4 points. Good team work aided Caledonia in their effort to see everyone score a point. Only one player failed to score. The leading scorer was Jim Buer with 6 points. Others scoring for the Scots were T. Hooton, C. Mulder, Mike Oliver and Roger Hill, all with 4; Matt Kietzman 2; Donn Bonzheim, Kevin Nanzer, Craig Alyworth and Jerry Groendyke, 2; and Dennis Johnson and Shawn Ora, 1 point. Freshman Close Season With Win The Caledonia freshman basketball team closed their 1983-84 season off in style Friday night as they defeated Hamilton 47-32. Team hustle and execution lead the way for the Scots’ 8th victory in 17 attempts. “We finished with a mark of 8-9 which is pretty good considering some of the schools we had to play. The truly good news is they improved and got the much needed court time they probably would not have received if there were only a JV squad.*' After a slow first quarter, the Scots saw them­ selves trailing the Hawkeyes 11-8. Realizing they had to play tougher to win stimulated the team to try harder. The Scots dominated the second quarter, outscoring Hamilton 15 to 6 and taking a 23-17 half­ time lead. “We shot extremely well the first half (43%) especially the second quarter (53%), because we executed well and took good shots.’’ Matt Kiet­ zman had 10 of his game high 14, all in the first half. The third quarter was played fairly even, but when the fourth quarter came, Caledonia pulled away. Craig Mulder lead the charge, scoring 8 of his game 13 points in the fourth quarter. Others scoring points for the Scots were Jim Buer 8, Dennis John­ son 4, Mike Oliver 3, Donn Bonzheim and Todd Hooten, 2 apiece, while Jerry Groendyke had 1 to go along with his 15 rebounds. It was a great year for this group of athletes. The team would like to thank everyone for the oppor­ tunity and the support the community has given us this year.

For Fine J 5-4 Record The Middleville JV Basketball team stayed in the victory column Friday night by winning a hard fought game against the Byron Center Bulldogs 5549. The Trojans led throughout the game until late in­ to the fourth quarter when Byron Center went ahead 46-45. A quick basket and a steal on the press by Mike Myers put TK back on top to stay. Jon Scott sank a pair of pressure free throws with less than 20 seconds left in the game to seal the victory. Jon Moretti had another excellent shooting night, leading both teams in scoring with 25 points. Jerry Steele added 12 points and picked off 7 rebounds to lead the Trojans in that department. Randy Stickney played a fine all-around game in assists while chipping in 9 points and several rebounds.

Speaking of seasons, your local A.Y.S.O. Board of Directors has decided to change the way the season is set up. In the past, teams have been formed in the spring and kept together through the fall. Beginning this year, new teams will be formed in the fall and they will play together through the following spring. This means that teams last year’s fall teams will be together for this spring. This change was made for two reasons. First, the coaches felt that the season should end with our Soccerfest. Secondly, the Board felt there would be less of a problem forming teams and keeping them together for the entire fall and spring season. New Regional Commissioners, Max and Phyl Miner, stated “Speaking of ‘help,' we are very for­ tunate because our program has made tremendous growth under the capable leadership of Marty Wustman. Marty will continue to be involved in A.Y.S.O. but in a less demanding role. We can’t thank Marty and Corrine enough for the work they have put into the program. As new Regional Com­ missioners, we see our major responsibility as that of keeping our program strong and building on what we have. There is only one way this can be done. The program needs the sincere support of the parents. The Board of Directors, along with the coaches, will be seeking help in several areas. If asked, please consider what your help can mean to the kids who are gaining so much from the sport of soccer.’’ Family night for sign-up will be held March 15 in the Middle School Gym. Registration is from 6 to 7 p.m. with a spring fee of $4.50. Slides of local kids playing soccer and demonstrations of soccer skills will be from 7 to 8 p.m. and team meetings will be from 8 to 8:30. If further information is needed, please call Bertie Wieringa at 795-7256. Counselor's Corner by BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counselor On Creativity Psychological studies reveal that though in­ telligence may facilitate the development of creativity, it doesn't insure it. A person may have a very high IQ and have a low score on tests relating to oritinality or creativity. How creative a child is often depends on his home environment. Perfectionist parents can destroy originality and creativity because they may inhibit the child from experimenting. In the child’s desire to please his parents, he may be unwilling to take risks. He may stick to what he knows he does best and be unwilling to take any chances that may lead to failure. Rigidity as a personality trait also limits creative expression. The creative person’s originality derives, in part, from his ability to see the world in a personalized, innovative manner. Intelligent creativity is not the same. (Dr. Joyce Brothers) Consumers Power paid $11,534,423 in real and personal property taxes to 198 taxing authorities in the Southwestern Region for 1983, according to K. E. McGraw, region general manager. In its entire marketing area, covering all or part of 67 of the lower peninsula’s 68 counties. Consumers paid just over $105 million to 1,370 taxing authorities. Almost three fourths of the utility’s tax payments came from electric operations and another fourth from gas operations. The remainder, less than 1 per­ cent, was from the company’s steam operation in Grand Rapids and from company property not used for gas or electric operations. The utility’s tax bill increased to $105,075,385 in 1983, up approximately 5% over the $99.7 million it paid for 1982. The major shares went to counties where electric generating plants are located — Bay, Mason. Midland, Monroe, Muskegon, Ottawa and VanjBuren; counties where the utility has its Success/Failure In a University of Notre Dame study, over 1,100 general office and region headquarters - Jackson. fulltime workers were interviewed in depth.

Welcomes 83 �Pg. 12 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I March 1,1984 f-------------------------------- s Down Memory Lane WITH NORMA VELDERMAN K---------------------------- J The Cook Family I, Neal Cook, the last remaining Cook of my line, would like to share some of my family history and its heritage in the Middleville area. My grandfather, John (Jack) Cook was bom in Dallington, Sussex, Co. England in 1831. He was an early pioneer to the Middleville area, settling on the Scales Prairie in 1847, building the house which is no# known as the Pender Place on Cherry Valley Road. The story of his arrival here has been passed down, researched and authenticated. Grandfather John was the ninth child of 13 children bom to Robert Cooke Sr. (bom in Norman­ dy France in 1789) and Sophia Kemp (bom in England in 1796). They were married in 1815. Their children were: Robert Jr., Sarah, Mary, Sophia, Lucy, Charles, Thomas, George, John, Francis. James, Joseph, Fredrick. Records from England show they were baptized in the Parish of Dallington, Sussex County. The family talked alot about coming to America. In the year 1842 final plans were made and the father, Robert Sr. (my great-grandfather) and his oldest son, Robert Jr., left England to come to the new land. Upon becoming established they were to send for the rest of the family. They said a tearful goodby from the docks at Hastings, Sussex Co., where just one year earlier they had said goodbye to their son Charles, age 18, when he was signed over to Capt. James Breeds for four years in Queen Vic­ toria's Navy to become a Master Seaman. The mother, Sophia, returned to their disrupted home with her 11 remaining children ranging in age from 2 years to 23. They had been a close family and empty chairs were not easy to face - even with the prospect of a better life. The farm chores, as well as the household duties, now had to be done by those left behind. The washing of clothes, ironing, preparing of food for 12 people daily, all done the old way was a big job by itself. But as the old saying goes ‘‘many hands make light work”. Everyone had a job and did it willingly. The plans for their soon coming trip made it all seem worthwhile. Soon great grandmother Sophia found she must face another heartache, she must part with three more of her family members. Her oldest daughters, Sarah, Mary and Sophia had decided to go to another new land ... the country of Australia. The ship Robert Sr. (age 54) and Robert Jr. (age 26) sailed on was an old sailing vessel, powered by the wind, and the adventure lasted many weeks, finally reaching the St. Lawrence seaway at Quebec. They then traveled on to the city of Rochester, New York, that being considered a good place to get star­ ted in this new land. Temporary work was found, while looking for a farm to support the family that was to come in just a few months. Another change in the many changes that was to come in a new country was to drop the ‘E’ off the French version of the spelling, Cooke to Cook. After some time, not finding just what they wan­ ted in New York, the two moved on to Ontario, Canada, hoping to find the right place there, where they could settle down to the business of farming. Time was getting short. Sophia, now 47 years of age and the 8 children had already left England and were on their way to join Robert Sr. and Jr. They had taken the same route as their loved ones before them, taking 3 months and 2 days for the trip. They ran out of fresh water on the voyage and the only source of entertainment was to watch the porpoise. What a shock to great grandmother Sophia and the children when there was no one to meet them when they arrived in Rochester. It is hard to imagine the despair they must have felt when, upon investigation, they were to find that on the third day of July, 1843, both father and son had drowned. The Newcastle Journal told the story of how they were crossing the Grand River in Tuscarara Indian Country, a short distance from the Village of Caledonia, Ontario, Canada, and the canoe cap­ sized, and both drowned. The Journal also told of the inquest held at Tuscorora by coroner Richard Catton Esq. and stated that a watch and some money had been found on the body of Robert Jr. and that the heirs could claim them. It is not known if they did. Now, the older son, Tom, age 16, had the respon­ sibility of the family and their temporary home in New York. In the fall of 1846 it was decided that in the spring the family would move on. The boys drove a stick into the ground with the agreement that whichever direction it was leaning in the spring was the direc­ tion they would move and try to find new land. Come spring, George, and my grandfather John, started West and ended up in Middleville. His story does not reveal if Sophia accompanied them to Middleville or not. It only states that she died in 1847 at age 51. My grandfather John helped his older brother George build his big square house and establish his farm on Cherry Valley Road, which is the place the Oscar Kaechele’s owned for so long. George's son, Judson built the house across the road, known today as the Harrison farm. John then took up land west of the French Trading Post (sometimes called Moreau Block house). He first built a log cabin, then split rails for his fences. His younger brother Joseph lived with him until he went to the Civil War. They expected to farm together upon Joe’s return. Joseph did not come back. On November 24, 1863 he was killed in Knoxville and was buried in the National Cemetery there in Tennessee. Two years later (at age 35), in 1865, the year Abe Lincoln was shot, grandfather John married his neighbor, Lucinda (VanEvery) Mitchell, who had been widowed when her husband, Robert Mitchell, was killed in the war. Lucinda was 24 years of age and had a son, David. The story goes that Lucinda had 40 acres adjoining John’s and he said to her, “we could get married and make an 80 acre farm” — so they did. They were married in Middleville by Rev. Kidder. To this union 8 children were bom: May Cordelia, Sarah Sophia, Emma Jane, Princie Virginia, Pearl Mabelle, Harry Eugene, Roy Venus (my father), Raymond Willis. They were all born there on the Prairie, and all attended the “old log school” which was practically across the road. The school was on the northeast comer of Adams Road and Cherry Valley. It was so close to the road that the hubs of the old oxcarts would bump the comer of the school as they went by. Pearl Cook married Clark Kenyon and Princie Cook married Royal Kenyon — sisters married brothers. But that’s another story. My grandfather John was 49 years old when my dad, Roy Venus was born on October 4, 1880. Pa was 50 years old when I was born in 1930, thus put­ ting 99 years between the birth of my grandfather and me. My dad, Roy, married Martha Alma Thorne of Washtenaw County in 1924. I have one sister, Louetta Beatrice living in Jenison, Mich. My paren­ ts lived most of their married life in Battle Creek; however, when Pa retired he bought the old house his uncle Charlie Cook had built at 214 Arlington in Middleville. It was the same Charlie indetured to the Queens Navy we spoke of earlier. I lived most of my young life with my relatives, the Kenyons. I lived with Forrest Kenyon from age 3 months until 8 years. Then Ralph Kenyon took me in and I lived there until I was pretty much on my own. Forrest and Ralph are both sons of Pearl and Clark Kenyon. I married Marion Janice Marble in 1948. We have three daughters. Dawn Elaine, Christina Lou and Carleen Rae. We also have four grandchildren. When I researched my family history ten or so years ago, I was amazed to find that when Marion and I built our first house (on Finkbeiner Road) in 1951, where the Glen Bowers now live, we were star­ ting our new life together on the “prairie” - just a short distance from where my ancestors had settled 100 years before us. (by Norma) I remember Neil and Marion Cook mostly from the time I was a Den Mother. They were thoughtful enough to let me bring my particular den of boys to see the huskies that they had for dog sledding. They had them in underground kennels. Were the boys ever fascinated and excited. As far as i know, the Cooks were the first in our area to have a team. Of course, most of you know Neal and Marion as the prople who are restoring Historic Bowens Mill area. They have a summer long schedule of events old-timey type - flea markets, craft days, hymn sings, etc. It’s well worth a visit to see the mill and the original parts they are trying to restore. I imagine it’s a lot of work - very challenging as well as very rewarding. Wasn’t that interesting? How about some more of you writing your family’s beginnings here in the Middleville area. You write it yourself and we’ll print it. It doesn’t have to be city people. Farm people are very important. This was largely a far­ ming community.

Thornapple Kellogg and Caledonia High Schools are members of the 32school Kent Intermediate school district. Main purpose of the March 6 Open House is to acquaint the students and parents with the diver­ sified programs offered. Instructors and par­ ticipating students will be stationed in all classrooms to demonstrate and answer questions. Kent Skills Center’s students are bussed daily from their “home” school to the Centers for 2*/j hour instructional courses which earn credits toward high school graduation. “In our previous Open Houses, we discovered visiting parents and students were very surprised at the up-to-date equipment and facilities that are available at the two Centers," explained Rodger Northuis, College Avenue Building Director. Courses demonstrated for the College Avenue Skills Center Open House include: Computerized Accounting, Electronic Banking, Data Processing, Electronics, Engineering Drafting, Industrial Elec­ tricity, Nurse Aide, Office Occupations, Legal Stenographer, Medical Secretary and Word Processing. The East Beltline Skills Center Open House will center on: Advertising Art, Air Conditioning/Refrigeration, Auto Body, Auto Mechanics, Baking, Building Maintenance, Child Care, Commercial Sewing, Cosmetology, Floral Design, Food Service, Furniture Manufacturing, Graphic Arts, Heating/Cooling.

The Thornapple Township Board of Review is looking over the tax roll this week in preparation to hear from property owners next Monday and Tuesday. The board, meeting at the Middleville Community Hall, will hear from taxpayers concer­ ning their assessments from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4 p.m. The board has also scheduled a hearing from 7 to 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening. No appoin­ tment is needed and it is “first come, first served.” Property assessments in the township remained stable for residential owners for the third year in a row. Agricultural lands experienced an increase, based mostly on appraisals made this past summer by the Barry County Equalization office, said Township Supervisor Donald Boysen. “Most agricultural class property received a 1% increase,” said the supervisor. Both commercial and industrial property were not increased over last year’s assessment. Township Assessor Milton Buehler reports that the valuation of the township rose by $1,300,000 this year to reach an overall figure in excess of $45,000,000. The increase came about in large part by over $1,000,000 in new construction in the town­ ship during 1983. The Township Board of Review is composed of Robert Wenger, chairman, Rodney Finkbeiner and Gerald Keegstra.

NO. 10 • MARCH 8,1984 Run for Village President Makes Election Drama In perhaps one of the more interesting elections to be held in Middleville, next Monday’s election of a village president has almost the same drama as a Hart-Mondale battle. There is a candidate from both parties, one the old experienced incumbent Democrat and the other a fresh-faced Republican. And, to add to the drama, voters will also have the opportunity to elect a “sticker" candidate. Democrat Bob Sullivan is looking for another term as Village President, citing his ability and ex­ perience. In contrast, David Tubergen, his Republican opponent, says he will bring a fresh new look to village politics. Tubergen is a former chair­ man of the Village Planning Commission. The “third hat” in the ring is sticker candidate Marge Loew. A Democrat, Loew ran against Sullivan in the recent primary and lost 43-36. She indicates she would also bring a newness to the of­ fice of village president. Almost lost in the shiffle is the race for the trustees on the village council. For two 2-year terms for trustees, Democrats Connie Duyser and Joe Scott are running un-opposed. Both of these can­ didates are currently members of the council. There is a contest, however, for the three seats for four-year terms on the council. Democrat incumben­ ts Floyd Bray and Valeria A. Owen will meet Republican candidates William Hardy and Marilyn VandenBerg. The top three vote getters will be elec­ ted. Unopposed on the ballot are clerk Shirley Eaton and treasurer Gary Rounds, both Republicans. Voting will take place from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Middleville Community Hall. Come early and avoid the crowds! To Confirm Primary Middleville Advances Middleville survived the first round in Class C Basketball tournament action in the District held Monday night at Byron Center. It was a good first half and a holding action in the second half that gave the Trojans a narrow victory over Hopkins. The Trojans meet the flawless Hamilton Hawkeyes Wednesday night in an effort to advance to the finals on Saturday night. Look for Class of ’97 The Thornapple Kellogg Schools are beginning to make preparations to welcome the incoming class of 1997, which will enter school next fall. As in the past, a Pre-Kindergarten screening will be held at McFall Elementary on April 16, 17, 19 and 20. Parents of children who were bom before December 1, 1979 and are not currently in school, should con­ tact the McFall Elementary office at 795-3637, as soon as possible to set up a screening appointment and to obtain the necessary forms. ....while students practiced. Caledonia voters will, in effect, confirm the recent primary election in naming their village officers in next Monday’s election. Only Republicans were nominated in the primary and their are running with one exception, unopposed. Janis Erskine is on the ballot for Village Assessor on the Democrat side, opposed by Republican Sandra Kia ver. Up for the voter’s “stamp of approval” will be Village President Hugh Kegerreis, Clerk Jacqueline Cherry, The Thomapple Kellogg High School Band per­ Treasurer Jay Shook and Trustees John DeVries, formed at the District 10 Band and Orchestra Glen Klaver and Susan Berencsi.

McFall has designated March as Reading Month and is also participating in the MS Read-A-Thon. West Elementary students are en­ couraged to read books and get pledges in support of the March of Dime Olympics. Since so many children are reading so many books this month, demand for the “good" books is high. Why not plan a visit to the Public Library where there are lots of “good" books waiting to be read! Here are a few suggestions for the youngest readers: Little Bear's Visit by Minarik. Little Bear loved to visit his grandparents because there was always so much to do, so much to see, and so much to eat. His grandfather was never too tired to play (well, almost never) and his grandmother told him stories about Mother Bear when she was a cub. Three by the Sea by Marshall. Three friends relax after their picnic lunch by each telling his or her best story. Arthur's Pen Pal by Hovan. Arthur views his lit­ tle sister in a different light after receiving a revealing letter from his pen pal. A more advanced reader might enjoy: The White Stallion by Shub. Carried away from her wagon train in Texas in 1845 by the old mare she is riding, a little girl is befriended by a white stallion. Jumanji by VanAllsburg. Left on their own for an afternoon, two bored and restless children find more excitement than they bargained for in a mysterious and mystical jungle adventure board game. How to Eat Fried Worms by Rockwell. Two boys set out to prove that worms can make a delicious meal. Ending is hilarious! Upper elementary students have found these to be “good reads" over the past few years: The Great Gilly Hopkins by Paterson. An eleven­ year-old foster child tries to cope with her longings and fears as she schemes against everyone who tries to be friendly. Alvin Fernaid, TV Anchorman by Hicks. When Alvin takes a regular spot on a news show, he helps solve an 11 year old crime. Anastasia Krupnik by Lowry.

Jerri Oosterhouse Openings at Caledonia Co-op Preschool The Caledonia Parents Co-op Preschool is now taking enrollment for the 3 and 4 year old classes for the fall of 1984. Classes are held twice a week at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Caledonia. For more information and enrollment call Beth Sabin at 868-6726. Caledonia Parents Co-op Preschool is a non-profit, nondiscriminatory organization. Crisis in Authority In one country a dictator jails dissidents; in the next, gangs defy the police. In one home the father is a tyrant; in another, parents get no respect. What we have here is a crisis in authority. Minister Charles R. Swindoll offers insights into this problem in his fil,m “Authority: Hope for a Talk-Back, Fight-Back World," to be shown at 11:00 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. Sunday, March 11, at the Caledonia Christian Reformed Church, M-37 and 100th Street. Swindoll shows how to discern which authorities to submit to and which deserve to be resisted. The basic problem legitimate authority faces is the human bent toward rebelliousness, he says. In his usual pointed style, Swindoll challenges his audien­ ce to resist tendencies to rationalize and justify per­ sonal rebellion. The film is the last in the series “Strengthening Your Grip" series which has been shown in the local church. ‘Fun in Marriage’ Workshop Freeport Village churches and a community group have teamed up to present a marriage and family enrichment film series, and invite their Middleville/Caledonia neighbors to attend. The series is called the “Fun in Marriage Workshop" and leaders are Charlie and Martha Shedd, a Christian couple of 41 years who have led marriage seminars across the country. What’s happening in your marriage? What goes on behind the surface or when you are both alone? It is this relationship that is the concern of the film series. The Freeport United Brethren, United Methodist and Freeport Chums Community Club are sponsors of the event. All films are shown at 7:30 p.m. Shown on Tuesday nights, the March 13 film, "Body Communication", will be held at the Methodist Church, as well as the March 20 film “Soul Communication." On March 27, two films, "How to Stay in Love" and "Straight Answers to Delicate Questions" will be shown at the United Brethren Church. They will be shown on the same night because of the TK school spring break the following week. ----------------------------------- OBITUARIES ALLIE C. HOYT Allie C.

Ml I M«r. 8, 1984 / Pj. 3 Community Education - A. Place Where “You Can! What makes Community Education programs successful? Maybe it’s a reflection of the present economical situation. It could be the resurgence of the idea that education is important. The advent of computers, microwaves and the do-it-yourself spirit might be the catalyst responsible for the increase in participation experienced by area Community Education programs. . Linda Zaczek, director of the Lxjwell, Caledonia and Thomapple Kellogg Community Education Consortium (LCTK) states that all programs offered in each of the three communities showed increases in participation and that demands for new com­ munity activities which were started have all been successful Good Community Education programs usually reflect the educational, recreational and social needs and desires of a community. LCTK of­ fers programs for adults interested in gaining a high school diploma; gaining college credits, and classes for people who wish to improve themselves for em­ ployment and for enrichment purposes. Classes are held ju$t about everywhere in the community for everyone - pre-schoolers to senior citizens are tur­ ning out to take part in the many different ac­ tivities. While the local high schools provide most of the classrooms and equipment, activities are held in factories, elementary schools, foster homes, retirment homes, nursing homes and even in a neigh­ borhood where a few friends can meet together for a purpose. Classes that are designed for degree and diploma seekers are staffed by certified and licensed teachers, while enrichment classes are led by mem­ bers of the communities who are talented and skilled at the given subject. Ideas for classes and activities come from dif­ ferent sources. Certain classes are required by local Boards of Education for high school graduation. Lincoln Meadow, a Middleville retirement complex, has a committee of retirees who plan events and ac­ tivities and called upon the Middleville Community School Director, Duane Peterson, to help them organize activities. As a result, two weekly classes • art and travelogue • were initiated. Norm Paavola. a Caledonia resident, was teaching a group of neigh­ borhood youngsters karate on Saturday mornings in his basement. Mr. Paavola, with the help of the Caledonia Community School director, Bob Evans, secured Kevin Earle, a well known Black Belt in­ structor and moved the class to a school gym. It Enrichment Classes Put on Hold for Week A variety of activities through TK Community Education has been offered, but class sizes are small. We had originally planned to start classes the week of March 5, but a one-week delay is now plan­ ned. Additional enrollment is needed for classes in Quilting, Airbrush Painting, Wood Carving, Oil Painting and Beginning Sewing. Oil Painting: (suitable for beginning or advanced painters). This is a 10-week course of traditional oil on canvas not to be confused with country or tole painting.

A group of band parents from Middleville, Lowell and Caledonia were recalling memories of their high school band days and came up with an idea to recap­ ture those fun days. Now a community band gets together on Monday evenings to play old Sousa marches and popular show tunes. K-12 school districts are guided by Boards of Education, whose members are elected by the people. Helping the LCTK Community Education Consortium identify needs, establish programs and evaluate them, is an Advisory Council. This coucil represents businesses, industry, parents, churches and adult education students. Each community provides three members. The Community Education program is supported by two main sources of money. About 60% of the funds are received through taxes in the form of state aid as prescribed by Michigan Legislators each year. The money is spent for programs that involve high school diploma seeking adults. Classes that are held strictly for personal improvement or self­ enrichment are usually supported by a fee system. Just enough money is charged each participant to cover the cost of the class. While schools are akin to big businesses, they are not designed or are inten­ ded to make a profit. That is why schools can say there is no better place to learn - especially in regard to cost to the individual. The budget of a Community Education program is similar - almost a duplicate of the K-12 School District budgets. “You Can!’’, “Everyone learns • everyone teaches", and “There’s no better place to learn than your school" are typical Community Education slogans. These logos may be telling us of the con­ fidence people have in their schools. This feeling that the schools belong to the people, coupled with the fact that people want to have a hand in their own destiny, help make Community Education programs enjoy this current wave of popularity. c^ftktnion Family Vision Care Contact Lenses in the New Caledonia Village Center 9361 Broadmoor Open Monday thru Saturday Thursday ni«ht untilft p m Phone 891-9245 NOTICE Caledonia Township KENT COUNTY MICHIGAN BOARD of REVIEW NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the property owners and taxpayers of the Township of Caledonia and Vill­ age of Caledonia that the Board of Review will meet at the WiiuM Catatonia Twp.-Village Had 640 Emmons Street, Caledonia, Michigan TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY I2O '"E.‘’.Maili Street ’M iddlevillc.’.M i.

BOYSEN, SUPERVISOR �Pg. 4 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml / Mar. 8, 1984 LANSING DIARY BY PAUL HILLEGONDS, 54th Dist. State Representative Rewards of Serving are Great If service in the legislature were limited to par­ tisan hassles over budgets, taxes and other public policies, I would have burned out by now. Fortunately, the experience is enriched by people. Leaving for Lansing each Monday, realizing that conversations with my wife, Judie, will be limited to daily phone calls for the rest of the week is not easy. The opportunity to represent 54th District citizens at our State Capitol would not be possible without Judie’s patience and support. On Mondays and weekends, I often meet with dif­ ferent citizens and groups. Last week two classes of Allegan High School students bombarded me with questions until we simply ran out of time. Their con­ cerns focused on a changing economy and an uncer­ tain world: What is being done in Allegan County to improve vocational training opportunities for students? Why are we spending so much to stock­ pile nuclear weapons we hope will never be used? The dozens of informed questions and concerns these young citizens shared with me are a major VILLAGE ELECTION TO THE QUALIFIED ELECTORS: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That an Annual Village Election will be held in the Village of Middlevile STATE OF MICHIGAN -at- Conenunity Hall 314 E. Main Street reason I remain optimistic about our future. Even on a bad day, walking into my Lansing of­ fice is a pleasant experience. That’s due to the cheer­ ful professionalism of my legislative aide, Nancy Hurst. During the past three years, Nancy has assisted countless 54th District citizens. For her, it’s not just a job she must do; she cares deeply about people and has a strong sense of justice. Nan­ cy is working with me on several legislative and committee projects, in addition to managing our busy office. The 54th District and I owe Nancy a debt of gratitude for her service. When I report some of the policy debates which range in committee rooms and on the House floor, people will often ask, “How can you stand the frustration?” In part because I have observed that commen sense and basic good will of the public eventually do win out at the Capitol. Often that is made possible by legislative friendships that cross philosophical, party and regional lines. The growth of mutual respect and trust among lawmakers who may have different answers to problems - but who care enough to seek common solutions - has been one of the most fulfilling aspects of my five years in Lansing. Recently in Allegan County I helped to honor the dedicated foster parents, social services employees and court workers whose mission it is to rebuild the lives of abused, neglected and delinquent children. They didn’t complain that night, though the fact is the difficult economic times in Michigan have forced foster parents and government employees to accept greater responsibilities, but shrinking state finan­ cial support. That evening was an inspiring remin­ der not to lose sight of the persons whose lives are being touched by the budget numbers we debate in Lansing. When I first ran for office, friends warned me to take in stride the caustic comments that would come my way as an elected politician. Instead, I have found people to be very kind. Thank you to the many, many 54th District citizens who have offered friendly words of encouragement. Frustrated? Sometimes. Fortunate? Always, because legislative service is a special opportunity to work with and for many wonderful people. WITHIN SAID VILLAGE ON MARCH 12, 1984 Caledonia Couple Attends Farm Bureau Leaders Conference Lee and Norah Rodgers of Caledonia attended the Michigan Farm Bureau Young Farmers Leader Conference at the Lansing Sheraton Inn February 29 - March 2. The 200 young farmers who attended the con­ ference participated in workshops designed to shar­ pen their business and personal skills. The workshops covered farm partnerships, estate plan­ ning, marketing alternatives, young farmers’ role in Farm Bureau, and an agricultural outlook for 1984 and beyond. Conference participants also had the opportunity for interaction with state legislators during a “legislative assembly.” A panel of Michigan senators and representatives discussed current legislation of interest to the agricultural community and answered questions from the young farmers. Michigan Farm Bureau young farmer title-winners for 1983 addressed the conference. A highlight of the three-day conference was an auction to raise funds for AgriPac to help elect “Friends of Agriculture’’ in the fall elections. Lee operates a 700-acre dairy farm specializing in dairy in partnership with his brother and father.

We got a little snow last Sunday in Caledonia. Enough so we can see it on the ground by night. Freezing rains was predicted. Roving Reporter with HAZEL McCAUL My back is some better, but a pinched nerve is very painful. I go three times a week for treatment. Now I have a cold and that doesn’t help when I have to cough. Oh well! I’ll make out, hopefully. Clarke spent the week end with me. Sundays are always so long, alone. Laneta, Clarke and I took a ride to Port Charlotte to Duffs - almost too much. Rachel Roblyer. Otsego, spent Sunday after­ noon with us hashingover good old days at Bowens Mill - long time ago dances and many people that we both knew. The potluck Thursday evening had a very poor at­ tendance. The Barbershoppers were here for their program - it was real good, but the same oid songs over and over. This will be a short week with nothing particular going on. March will soon be upon us with our Bike Parade. We will all do something for Ireland. Block 1 had that last year, so what can we do that is dif­ ferent. Had a bad night Sunday, but I am up now and will go for a treatment, then home to rest for four hours. Getting so that I enjoy doing not much for a while. I am busy packing. Where does one get so much trash and treasures in 17 .years? And what will I do with it back home? Hello Bea and Verne. Warm this morning, muggy too.

Senate, and hearings are currently being held on it The Michigan Senate has pulled in the lifeline on electric rates in Michigan. The action, if given full legislative approval, would eliminate the so-called “lifeline” rate structure which allows a 15 percent discount to customers who use low levels of elec­ tricity, while charging others higher rates in order to subsidize this discount. The lifeline electric rate reform law was adopted when there was an energy crunch in the United States. In an attempt to conserve the use of energy, the Legislature enacted a lifeline electric rate struc­ ture that would give all consumers a 15 percent discount for the first block of electric rates (360 KWH for a family of 1 or 2, and 510 KWH for a family of 3 or more). In addition, two other blocks of electric rates were adopted which contained steeply higher rates with the intent of conserving elec­ tricity. Another intent of the lifeline electric rate reform law was to ease the impact on rising electricity costs on low-income households based on the belief that electricity usage increases with income and family size. Those who supported repeal of the lifeline rates said the law had not accomplished what it set out to do because there is no direct correlation between the amount of electricity used and income or family size. Legislators who sought to maintain the lifeline rate structure argued that repeal would result in an increase in electric rates for about 50 percent of all Michigan households. I voted to repeal the lifeline electric rate structure because it has not accomplished what it was inten­ ded to do. It has failed to benefit the elderly and working poor, and it has not proved to be an effec­ tive conservation measure over the past four years. In addition, it significantly increased electric bills for people who live in rural areas. I believe no matter where one lives, he or she should pay electric bills based on usage. Public utilities should not be in the social services business and the Legislature should not be in the electric ratemaking business.

Brad Enders went to a 6th birthday party Sunday afternoon for his school friend, Jason Reed. Mike and Katy Bremer took their children to the zoo Saturday. Katy said she didn’t know if it was the cool weather or the fact that it was meal time, but the animals were really active. That’s the way the kids like to see them! Alice Steiner and I, accompanied by Lindsay Bremer, drove up to Shepherd on Friday where we enjoyed lunch and a nice visit with Dave and Colleen Bremer and family. Baby Kara is growing just as she ought and making faces back at me! Sunday Dave and Sue Enders and boys were at our house for dinner, and the others came for a pizza supper in the evening. A couple of weeks ago we welcomed the Harvey Becker family to the Prairie and Mrs. Becker ex­ pressed a desire to learn the history of their house Imagine her delight to read Neal Cook’s story in last week’s paper where he told of his great uncle building the house. What exquisite timing. It reminded me of an article I once read stating that all houses should have a log book (that stays right with the house) in which the owners write fac­ ts, figures and other information. I imagine our old house started with the basic four rooms down, three up and a “Michigan” basement. When were the dining room and porch added, I wonder? And the kitchen some years after that? And in the future, someone else will wonder when the porch was closed in, the kitchen enlarged, and three more bedrooms added upstairs. They will really wonder about the door in the basement that opens up to a stone wall! (That was pure whimsey on our part) Could we each start a “house diary”? Think how interesting it would be for some future owner of your house to know when you put the new roof on and how many rolls of wallpaper it takes for the up­ stairs hallway! As kids, we always lived in old houses, and my dad used to say it was just the layers of wallpaper holding it up. We have taken the chance of removing many layers of wallpaper over the years and have come on some interesting things - like places where a door used to be - or a chimney hole - or a very old newspaper - and in our first apartment in Chicago we uncovered a complete garden scene wall mural! Please call Janette VanRhee if you have news next week (if she doesn't call you first). John will be holding the fort at home while Tom and I have a reunion with his brothers and sister in Florida. But that will be my news for the following week. CHURCH OF MIDDLEVILLE M-37, north of Middleville - Ph. 795-9726 Wesley Smith, Pastor Mark J.

Middleville Ernie Ball Ends 24 Years of Village Service After almost twenty-four years in a job which gradually evolved into the present position of village Manager, Ernie Ball this week officially retired. His many years of public service, which also in­ cluded 30 years with the Middleville Fire Depar­ tment, 27‘/s of them as chief, have seen many changes in the Village. When he went to work for the Village in 1960, there was only one other employee (who lasted 2*/s days) and an operating budget of $50,000 to $60,000. There was one pick-up truck and a notvery-good big truck to maintain 7‘/s miles of streets. Today, the Village Manager administers a budget approximating $650,000 annually. He oversees four full time Department of Public Works employees, an office receptionist and three full time police officers, (operated with a sergeant). Many new and/or used pieces of equipment have been purchased and a new DPW building was erected in 1974-75. There are now 11 % miles of streets to be maintained. Ernie came to Middleville from Byron Center in 1936, and was married to the former Dorothy John­ son, a local girl in 1938. Middleville has always been their home. Ernie and Dorothy are the parents of two daughter and one son. Young Ernie, his wife Christy and their children, Cindy and John, are Muskegon residents, where young Ernie has been an elementary teacher at Reeths Puffer for several years. Daughter Cheryl Myers, her husband Lon and A total of 166 voters cast ballots in the Village of Middleville elections Monday, in which a three way contest for Village President developed by virtue of a write in campaign by Marge Loew. Incumbent Robert Sullivan was returned to office by a twelve vote margin over his Republican op­ ponent, David Tubergen. Marge Loew, who had waged a close fight in the primary, had a total of 30 write in votes. Incumbents Joseph Scott and Connie Duyser were returned to office for two year terms. Floyd Bray and Valerie Owen, also incumbents, retained their posts for four year terms, while newcomer Marilyn VanderBerg won the third four year trusteeship by a two vote margin over William Har­ dy.

Do you sometimes feel as I occasionally do, that you’re being engulfed by an avalanche of words, most of which are trying to sell you something? Lest you misunderstand, let me hasten to say that I’m all for the free enterprise system. (Don just was reading an item about “Pravada” which publishes 6 pages a day, as prescribed by the Russian gover­ nment, with no advertising), and advertising is cer­ tainly a vital part of it. Competition for your atten­ tion, your time, your support, your money is a basic tenet of our way of life. But sometimes it’s almost overwhelming. Consider the catalogs, flyers, sweepstakes, brochures and letters that arrive in your mail un­ solicited. Most of the merchandise offered is legitimate, some is very attractive; many of the causes for which funds are solicited are worthwhile, but who has the time to even read all that stuff are we the only ones whose name seems to be on every mailing list in the country? Magazines, some of which I get by subscription, are almost as aggravating. Isn’t it frustrating to be reading an article which is continued on another page, except that you can’t find the page because the number sequence has been changed so that area segments can be inserted? Radio and television advertising bothers me less. If something on the radio is so obnoxious I can’t mentally tune it out, it’s easy to push the button and turn it off, and I watch television so rarely I even miss the “good” commercials - “where’s the beef?” My first inclination is to file all the so-called junk mail in the nearest wastebasket, and after it ac­ cumulates for a few days without even being opened, I sometimes do, but not without a mental twinge - the same kind you get when you can’t an­ swer a ringing telephone. Speaking of telephone, that’s another story. I feel more than a little resentful when a caller insists on going through a rehearsed speech, and he and I both know I don’t want the magazines he’s selling at an inflated price, or when someone wanted to sell me aluminum siding for one of the biggest houses in town, and, most recently, when someone” had a representative in the area” and wanted to sell me an energy audit and conservation package for a house I don’t own. Words, words words - they’re wonderful, and I’d hate to think of not having the freedom to use them as we wish, but it does seem that sometimes they are over used and abused. The obvious solution is to be selective, choose what you want to read, but how do I know that unless I read it? How do I know I want to vote for a candidate unless I read about him or her? At what point does “being well infor­ med” become simply wasting your time? Area Dairy Women Attend Seminar Beth Finkbeiner, Kathy Kosters, and Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Good of Caledonia were among 200 Michigan dairy farmers who attended the 3rd An­ nual Dairy Promotion Seminar and learned to com­ municate the “Grade A Way”. “Grade A Com­ munications” was held in Grand Rapids at the Marriot on March 6-7, 1984. It helped participants develop skills for local dairy product promotions. The seminar featured six informative workshops. Industry leaders conducted a marketing session that offered an in-depth look at the dairy industry for today and tomorrow, and featured speakers provided encouragement for successfully com­ municating to consumers. The annual seminar is sponsored by American Dairy Association of Michigan as part of the Dairy Diplomat Program in an effort to provide resources to assist promotion of Michigan dairy products at the local level. Jerry serves on the board of the American Dairy Association of Michigan. He is in partnershp with Elton Smith at Med-O-Bloom Dairy Farm. Beth was attending as a sponsor of Michigan Milk Producers Assoc. Kathy was sponsored by Independent Coop Milk Producers Assoc. Their husbands both farm in the Caledonia area.

The job that you, your staff, student body and community did at the State Finals was something to behold.

State Representative Car Sales Tax Laws Reviewed Ken Coch rum Announces Bid for U.S. Congress Seat Grand Rapids businessman, Ken Cochrum, 49, declared his candidacy for the Republican Party’s nomination to be U.S. Representative from the 5th Congressional District at a press conference March 7th. “Western Michigan needs aggressive, decisive, new leadership in Congress, ” Cochrum said. “The Congress needs members who are not professional politicians. The Congress needs people with business experience to assure that our economic recovery continues through the 1980’s", he continued. Cochrum, who is President of Remex Corporation, a Grand Rapids based high tech information processing sales and service business, said he will take his campaign directly to the people in a “....door-to-door, grass roots campaign.” “By meeting and talking with the voters I hope to gain first hand knowledge on how the people...feel about the issues,” he continued. Cochrum said he is a strong supporter of President Reagan's economic politics. “It is clear the recession is ending and real recovery is underway because of the President’s programs. Unemployment, inflation, and interest rates are down, and the value of the dollar and the stock market are up,” cochrum explained. “The President has listened to businessman and now he needs more people with business experience in the Congress to see the recovery continue,” he said. Cochrum said he was a strong opponent of tax in­ creases and would oppose any attempts to end the 1981 tax cut before it is due to expire. He also voiced strong opposition to the recent increase in the Michigan Income Tax. “I would have opposed the huge 38 percent Blan­ chard income tax increase, ...using my influence to try to stop it from becoming law”, Cochrum ex­ claimed. He said the answer to federal budget deficit is to cut spending, not raise taxes. The father of three also discussed foreign affairs and the threat of war. "We must have a realistic policy that will protect American interest, and see to it that we are not dragged into war, ” Cochrum said. "Western Michigan needs strong new leadership in the Congress. I will provide the people with that type of “take charge”, aggressive and decisive leadership when I am elected, Cochrum concluded. The 5th District consists of all of Kent County, and parts of Allegan, Barry, Ionia and Newaygo. The district is now represented by U.S. Congressman Hal Sawyer, who has not yet announ­ ced whether he will run for re-election in 1984. BILLIES BEAUTY SALON "ON THE LAKE" 555 S SHORE DRIVE — GREEN LAKE CALL891-8017 Open Days and Eventngs By Appointment BILLIE RUSSELL OWNER 20 YEARS IN THE SAME LOCA TION “Sales tax on the difference” is an interesting example of good legislative intentions gone sour. Two years ago, new cars weren’t selling and many Michigan auto dealers faced financial disaster. Because of those hard times and an aggressive lob­ bying campaign by new car dealers, other lawmakers and I voted overwhelmingly for a bill designed to increase auto sales. Until this year, the state had collected a 4 percent sales tax every time a vehicle was sold and resold. Effective ‘January 1, 1984, that double taxation (or more) was eliminated. Now the law provides that consumers will only have to pay the sales tax on the difference between the price of a new car and the car being traded in. What seemed to be fair, straightforward change in tax policy has created a new inequity, however. Because of the way the law is written, new car buyers cannot take advantage of the exemption if they purchase a vehicle from one dealer but sell their used car to someone else. This is having a RISC's Recycling Tips by JACKIE SCHMITZ In this month’s column, RiBC would like to stress the importance of recycling only those materials which we can accept. Occasionally, a site checker finds window or plate glass, light bulbs, dishes, etc., in the roll-off bin which houses the glass. The site checker then must retrieve the unacceptable glass from the bin. This is a time-consuming and cumbersome effort, but it is necessary to keep the bin free of contaminants. Owens-Illinos, where our glass is taken to be recycled, makes containers out of the recycled glass (called cullet). The company has given us restric­ tions on the kinds of glass that are acceptable. Although window or plate glass and light bulbs appear similar to container glass, they are different enough in composition to be undesirable in the making of container glass. Dishes, ceramics, crockery, etc., are obviously different, and they would cause an entire batch of otherwise good glass to be ruined. Owens-Illinois said this type of glass looks like toothpaste when it is melted with cullet. The kinds of glass we can accept will most likely have contained food or liquid at one time. This in­ cludes drinking glasses, bowls, pitchers, etc., as long as the glass is clear, green or brown, and is tran­ sparent in appearance. Our metal is recycled at Summit Steel in Hastings. Bob Miller, manager at the processing plant, has given us restrictions to adhere to. Unlike labels on glass, labels on cans have to be removed. The labels present a danger to the extent that they cause flash fires in the furnace. Aerosol cans are another hazard to the company. They will explode while being crushed or melted in the fur­ nace. Cans that are contaminated with flammable materials such as paint are another possible danger. Cans which have some non-flammable substance on them are still undesirable. However, metals from engines, remodeling and construction, for example, are acceptable if they do not pose any of the men­ tioned hazards. At both the Hastings and Middleville sites, we ask that you separate glass according to color — clear, green and brown. Aluminum should be deposited separately from other metals in the barrels. RiBC is a volunteer organization and has a slide presentation about recycling.

Angry used car business people flocked to Lan­ sing in January, suggesting that the law we passed was not really designed to increase sales of all cars. Rather, they charged, it was intended to give new car dealers a state-subsidized competitive advan­ tage. That wasn't the intent of most lawmakers. Quickly amendments were introduced to extend the exemption to consumers who sell their cars to used car dealers or individuals and purchase automobliles from new car dealers. Then local government and school associations got interested. Broadening the sales tax on the dif­ ference exemption for automobiles-and calculating the tax break on boat, trailer, coach, and aircraft sales(also included under the new law) -changed the estimated annual tax revenue loss from $30 million to $85 million. Because 75 percent of the state sales tax revenues must be returned to local units of government and schools, representatives from those grouops argued that this sales tax break would translate into higher property taxes to offset the state revenue loss. Lawmakers began to view the sales tax on the dif­ ference policy from another perspective as well: If the exemption for car purchasers were increased, the opportunity to roll back the tax rate for all income tax payers would be diminished. And so the Senate voted to repeal the sales tax break entirely rather than broaden its coverage. Not surprisingly, the House Taxation Committee room was jammed last week with new and used car dealers and local government and school officials as we took up the Senate repeal bill. After lengthy discussion and negotiation, the committee reported to the House floor a com­ promise which all parties have agreed to support. To erase the unfair competition, a person selling a car to a used car dealer or private individual will receive a voucher which can be presented to a new car dealer in order to qualify for the sales tax exemption. However, to limit the loss of sales tax revenue to an estimated $40 million during 1984, the consumer will pay the sales tax on the difference between 30 per cent of the trade-in value of the used car and the price of the new car. Perhaps most significant of all, the tax break will expire on February 1, 1985, thereby forcing the legislature to review whether the program is actually helping to stimulate car sales. Complicated? Yes, as tax laws usually are by the time all affected citizens and groups are heard from. On the other hand, this experience for me has been a good reminder: When anyone tries to promote a “simple, equitable” tax plan, proceed with caution.

The second quarter the Scots poured in 21 points primarily from their inside game. In the meantime South scored 18, 12 of which came from freethrows. The third quarter saw the battle seesaw back and forth. South used their inside power of Mike Heyboer while the Scots spread their scoring around. The final period was the same as the third, as the Scots could not manage to gain more than a five point lead. South was hurt when Mike Heyboer fouled out with about 1:30 left and then Joel DeMaagd fouled out with a minute left. With 14 seconds to go South had the ball and was trailing 6362 but could not make a shot drop. For the Scots Mike Wilson had a fantastic game with 23 points, 11 assists, and 14 rebounds. Marc Mitchell was equally impressive with 16 points and 5 rebounds. Scot DeVries, Doug Northouse and Tim Dobson each had 8 points apiece. For South Christian Mike Heyboer put in 21, Tim Haagsma 19 and Joel DeMaagd 11. High Flying Hawkeyes Down Scots The dream ended for Caledonia Saturday at Byron Center as the Scots lost to Hamilton by a score of 70-56. The Fighting Scots after a dissappointing season had hoped to upset Hamilton for a district cham­ pionship but it was not to be. Caledonia played with the Hawkeyes for most of the game, but couldn’t keep then from scoring 5 easy layups which put the Scots down by 10 at the half Bill Vanderbilt went on a scoring rampage in that half as he poured in 18 of the 36 first half poin­ ts.

Monday, Wednesday-2 to 7:00p.m. Friday 9 to Noon and 2-6:00 p.m. PHONE 795-7096 127 East Main Street / Dowtown Middleville In the third quarter Caledonia went to a box and one on Vanderbilt and brought the score to 6 points difference. With 5:27 left in the third quarter Hamilton called a time out and came back to force Caledonia turnovers and scored ten straight points. From that point on the contest was never in doubt as theHawkeyes had too many weapons to use. When Bill Vanderbilt was shut down, Tim Sneller and Kevin Haverdink picked up the slack each scoring 8 points in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter the Scots managed to cut the lead to 14 but didn’t have the fire power to come all the way back. For the Scots Mike Wilson led with 24 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists. Marc Mitchell added 12 points and 8 rebounds and Bryan Finkbeiner chip­ ped in 10 points and a fine defensive second half against Bill Vanderbilt. For the Hawkeyes Bill Vanderbilt led with 22 points. Tim Sneller with 20 and Kevin Haverdink with 14 points. Caledonia Has 400 for Wrestling Tournament Saturday.

Some Reflections on Identity To form a strong and healthy sense of self, children need to have pride in themselves and an awareness of their place in the world. Here are some activities that can help them develop a clear image of... My Body Introduces Babies to Themselves in a Mirror. Ask: “Who’s that? Why, that's Tracy O’Rourke! Hi Tracy!” As children get older, have them watch as they put their hands on their heads, touch their noses and elbows, and count the parts of their bodies. Have them stand next to you, their brothers or sisters, or friends, and see how they are the same and how they are different. Help Your Children Make a Self-Portrait. Have children lie down on a large piece of wrapping paper or several paper bags slit open and taped together. Trace the outline of their bodies. Have children fill in this outline with their features: hair, eyes, nose, mouth, nails, etc., They can either draw their clothes or tape some of their old clothes to the picture. Hang up the complete self-portrait where everyone can admire it. My Life Start an Identity Book for Children. In a large scrapebook, paste pictures, cards, and other mementos of important times in your children's lives. As they get older, children can collect their own treasures. They can dictate comments for you to write in, and even add their own illustrations. Make a Time Line to Help Children Recall Past Events in their Lives. String a piece of clothes line along a wall where children can reach it. Give children clothespins to hang up pictures, cards, clothing, and other souveniors of important events: the day they were born, the day a brother or sister was born, or the day they learned to ride a bike. Put the events in the order they happened. My Roots Help Children Make a Picture Map of their Neighborhood. First take a walk to find the impor­ tant places they'll want on their map: a park, school, grocery store, friend’s house, etc.. Then, with a large piece of paper and some crayons, help children mark out where these things are. Start with your own house and street, and gradually add other streets and places. Label everything, use the map to see where you’re going when you leave the house. Make a Family Tree. Use old photographs and a large piece of paper. Make your children the focus of the tree. Talk about how they are related to other people on the tree, and point out how they are similar to and different from their relatives: “You have red hair like Aunt Sarah.” “You’re the only person with blue eyes in our family. ” My Future Encourage Pretending. As children play, they start to think about what they might become. Save old clothes and materials for them to use. For exam­ ple, some old clothes and empty cans, boxes and jars, help children pretend they are grocery shop­ ping. Buttons, spools, and an old mirror glued to a piece of cardboard make an instrument panel for an airplane or car. Take Children to See What Other People Do and Provide Them with Books that Show People Doing Lots of Different Things. If you ’re afraid that your children will see poor examples that will limit their choices of expectations, make a special effort to show them what other people of their sex or race have done. ________ OTJBOT ©aSgCTOBY ST.

Dorothy retired from her job at Sav-Mor after working 17 years, first with Keegstra’s when they were on the comer where the Chiropractic Clinic is now. when they built Keegstra’s IGA on the present Mason Hardware site, and later when that was sold to Fate’s and subsequently moved and became SavMor. Ernie and Dorothy plan to leave this week for an Arizona vacation. This summer they hope to spend some time at Turner Lake and Ernie looks forward to golfing and honing his neglected fishing skills. With justifiable pride, Ernie looks back on the growth and accomplishments of his department. He takes special pleasure in conducting tours and telling about the waste water system, which was put into operation in 1971 at a cost of $230,000 (and would cost more than $1,000,000 to build today.) It has the capacity to handle our needs for some time to come and has become a model of operational ef­ ficiency - Ernie considers it his ’’pride and joy.’’ The Balls plan to maintain their present residence on Dibble Street and Ernie has pledged his assistan­ ce in the transition of office, which he foresees as going very smoothly, in any way possible.

Don was tied up on township business all day and evening Monday and Tuesday, and Mrs. Bremer was vacationing in Florida. Kathy Bremer (Mrs. Mike) did a super job of set­ ting type and laying out pages, and I tried to be an extra pair of hands at anything that didn’t require any special technical know-how. So, if your "Sun and News” had your name spelled differently or we wound up putting something in an unfamiliar place, remember that we were working without two of our regulars, and Dale was the only one there who knew what was going on and where everything was. Maybe everyone needs to be away occasionally, so that the rest of us appreciates him/her more, but, please! one at a time! So many of you have asked how our house is coming along that I think it’s time for an update. First of all, the house that is nearly finished near our building site is being built by Mr. and Mrs. Dean Shoemaker, who are from the Wayland area, I think. Our house is still "on the drawing board,” waiting for warmer weather. Son Mike is home and hard at work getting all the details worked out. Don and I spend a good deal of time poring over catalogs, magazines, brochures, etc., trying to decide on so Mike Newhouse, Todd Courts, Brian Kaechele, Dale Thoms many things from appliances to woodwork, plum­ bing and light fixtures, floor coverings, and on and on.

DONNA KENYON, Township Clerk �NEWS OF YOUR MIDDLEVILLE NEIGHBORS WEST SIDE wM NORMA VELDERMAN <------------------------------------------------------- —/ Tomorrow, Tuesday is officially spring. What I really want is for spring to really be here • not just numerically. I guess I’ve had enough winter, with all of you, and am getting itchy for warmer weather. I m slightly foolish, because Michigan weather is never definite. I should know better by now, living all my life in Michigan. What is it they say, “The only thing certain is its uncertainty"? Greg Cox and wife got back from a trip to Honolulu, so the family all got together at home to visit and see pictures. Charlie came home too. Last week Joe and Dolly Hula, Judie and Jerry Welton, Vicky and Jack Clark, on the spur of the moment, spent the week end in Detroit and had a real good time. Sunday Vicky and Jack Clark and Stan and wife (Dolly’s sister) had dinner with the Hulas. Sandy and Carolyn Schondelmayer had dinner at her sister’s house in Grand Rapids. Then Sunday they had dinner at her mom and dad’s, Doug and Louise MacGregor. Carolyn helped straighten me out, so I will distinguish between her mom and dad, the MacGregors, and Sandy’s mom and dad, Glen and Pat Schondelmayer. Leslie and Edna Steeby visited his two sisters in Marshall Sunday. They visited the sister and husband who are in a home, anxiously waiting to get to their home, then stopped to visit the other sister in Battle Creek. The Rocks had a houseful over the week end. They had guests from Detroit, as well as Jay and Charles Robertson and their families. John and Mary Spen­ cer were also there. They were celebrating a birth­ day. _ I couldn’t get hold of either Dorothy VanOort or the Dick Reyffs to see if she is in Ann Arbor for her cornea transplant. Anyone know if she is? Jane Roon said they took the girls shopping in Battle Creek in order to get out of the house for the realtor to have open house. Brother and sister, Michelle and Dave Ordway, Scott Tripp and Cindy Sidebotham just returned from Daytona, Florida, where they attended the Harley Bike Convention of ’84. Sunday Leona and Art Smith and Clarence Longstreet went to visit his sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Bysterveldt near Grand Rapids. It was Char Finkbeiner’s birthday on St. Patrick’s Day, so they went over to her folks, Art and Ann Kenyon, for supper on Friday. Louise Corson Pierce of Kalamazoo called on Art and Ann Kenyon Sunday. Bill and Neva Kenyon had just returned from visiting her dad, Howard Bryant in Jackson. Mary Noffke, Neva's sister, went with them. Marie Hodges had no real news - just keeping busy. Said she would return to work soon. Mrs. George Gabhart said she had a splendid weekend. She had her grandchildren, Lori and Billy Sue Frisbie for a few days. She really enjoyed it. Said shen they used to live near them at Green Lake she got to see them often, not so now. So she thoroughly enjoys them when they do come. Mom and dad. Sue and Bill Frisbie, picked up the children Sunday. Mrs. Paul Fuller said she has her good and bad days with her arthritis, and maybe when the weather turns nicer she can get outdoors to get her mind off herself. Sunday visitors of Dorothy and Donavan Dean were daughter Becky, husband and children. Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Palmer of Prairieville came to visit her sister and husband, Mae and Rollo Bowerman. Ann Bartlett said she and Dan spent two weeks in Arizona in the first part of February. They had fan­ tastic weather. Saturday the Jazz Band spent all day in Kalamazoo, Ann thought it was some kind of com­ petition. Then she and Dan helped the Lions Club in their Las Vegas night at the MiddleVilla Saturday. Had a real good turnout and a good time working. Gladys Briggs went to Battle Creek to stay with her mom for a few days. Ralph said when he talked to his dad (west of Battle Creek) they had about the same amount of snow we had Sunday morning. Rod and Char Finkbeiner had all their family home for her birthday Sunday.

All going well here in the park. This Saturday will be the annual St. Pat bike parade with roast beef luncheon at noon. Lots o fun me out this year, tho. People are beginning to think of back home and will soon be leaving for various places, ready to meet again in the fall. Laneta has been taking good care of me. I think I am on the gain now. I will go to see a bone doctor in Venice Wednesday. Clarke has been here helping pack to go home to stay. Will miss it, but there comes a time when home will look good to the wanderers. Laneta and I will have breakfast at Ron’s this morning, then take care of some business while in town. Hope to have a patio sale this week. Always things to part with.

When the Finkbeiners attended the parade in Grand Rapids they also had dinner with his dad. Herman Fink­ beiner. Bobbie Smith said they had a Camping Club meeting (NCH) They all went out for dinner Satur­ day, then came back to their place for a meeting. They are hoping to find some young couples who might be interested in joining. This club includes everything from tents on up to big trailers. They keep pretty much around this area, not usually over 50 miles away. It’s a wonderful way for young couples to get to know others in the area, not have to go so far, or have a ritzy outfit, and can relax with their family. Louise Corson Pierce of Kalamazoo had Sunday dinner with Louise Elwood. Louise and I had a good gab fest on the phone - didn't get much news from her but sure enjoyed chatting with her - or maybe chatting “at" her. Anyway, I had a good time. I guess it’s because my energy runs out my mouth that I love visiting with everyone. It’s a good thing I married a quiet man, isn't it? �Pg. 61 Th* Sun and Newt, MkMtevilte.

Frances Bums and Thelma Gehl attended the holy mass and funeral services for Mr. Carl Levett at the Posthumus Matthysse Funeral Home and St. Pius X Church, and interment at Resurrection Cemetery. Religion and Business Theme of Movie at Gaines U. Brethren The old adage “Religion and business don’t mix’’ is substantially refuted in the motion picture, The Answer, which will be shown Sunday night, March 25, at 6:00 p.m. at the Gaines United Brethren Church. The film story visualizes the actual experiences of a contemporary businessman, illustrating what happens when faith in God becomes integral to the motivations and decisions involved in everyday living. Stanley Tam, the Ohio business man whose story is dramatized in- the motion picture, heads the largest industrial plastics sales organization in Nor­ th America. It would be erroneous to say “owns” the business, because several years ago - as shown in the earlier motion picture, God Owns My Business, he and his wife literally gave the business to God. Annual profits now make possible donations of well in excess of a million dollars for Christian education overseas. In addition, Mr. Tam helps train other lay people in the ministry of personal witness through seminars and in his own personal contacts. The Answer film story begins in 1976, the day Stan­ ley Tam was diagnosed terminally ill with massive cancer. How God touched his body as he lay alone in his hospital room, and what has happened since, provides a gripping testimonial of a man’s endeavor to obey God in every detail of his life. Numerous examples illustrate how Mr. Tam helps others discover the Christian faith.

No longer are the various factions discussing the question of “if.” They are now concentrating on “when” and “how much”. That’s a positive shift. It brings to light the superfluous money that the 38 percent income tax brought in, and gave Republicans a chance to reiterate that they were right in opposing such an enormous tax. But we’ve been done with that for a while now. We know that it’s time to put political statements aside. The issues that stand before us now are much more complex and critical. That goes for the Governor and his staff, too. We've heard enough whining about how any meaningful tax cut will virtually “bankrupt" the state, or leave us with a great, glaring deficit. The only "deficit” that will result from a serious tax cut will be in the Governor’s own spending plan. It may mean he won’t get each individual item he has requested in his 1984-85 budget. Perhaps it’s time the Governor learned that the budget process does not mean, “Ask and you shall receive." Much trumpeting accompanied the Governor’s request for a “zero-growth” budget this year. But let’s not forget two important facts as we consider that sales pitch: last year’s budget was increased by LANSING DIARY 13 percent after the tax was passed: and the gover­ nor has already come back to the well several times asking for mid-year increases in spending. Before a rational income tax rollback plan can be developed, we must have clear, true budget numbers and forecasts from the Governor’s office and the Various state analysts. We must determine the amount of the expected surplus - even though it might not be pleasant for the Governor to reveal it. At that point, it will be time to negotiate on when and how much we can afford to give back to the tax­ payers. It is predictable that the arch-conservatives and the arch-liberals will line up in their polar corners. The former will fight to cut through the “red meat" and into the bone. The latter will cry “foul” at the first mention of scaling back the government bureaucracy. Hopefull, serious good-faith negotiations will lead to a careful study of all government spending and the discovery of many areas that can be streamlined That's when sincere concern for the state’s tax­ payers and economic climate will come into play. We have had a year of posturing under the Capitol Dome. It’s time to get to work. But one thing is sure. The Michigan taxpayers deserve an income tax break, and they’re going to get it. BY PAUL HILLEGONDS, 54th Dist. State Representative Redistricting Effective April 1, 1984 Did your vote for State Representative Count? Well, maybe. In an incredible Attorney General's opinion released last week. Frank Kelley ruled that the recently reapportioned state representative districts will take effect on April 1, 1984. Normally boundary changes due to redistricting don’t occur until legislators running in the new districts are elected and sworn into office. Under the Kelley scheme, those of us who are currently serving will represent newly-shaped districts after April 1. We will also represent some citizens who never had the opportunity to vote for or against us in the 1982 election. This curious decision appears to be based on political rather than legal logic. A strong partisan, Attorney General Kelley has given incumbent ---------------- s in PERFECT HARMONY — YOLR WISHES AND OCR SERVICE. BEELER FUNERAL HOME CONRAD R. BEELER 914 W. MAIN STREET / MIDDLEVILLE, MICH. Phone 795-3694 Northwest Thornapple • r BY DICK POSTHUMUS. 31st District State Senator lawmakers a head start in becoming better known among new constituents. That advantage can only help House Democrats to maintain their majority in the fall election. Right to Know or Right to Refuse to Work? Recently the Senate Labor Committee approved a bill to adopt proposed federal standards for requiring the labelling of an estimated 600 hazar­ dous chemicals which are found in chemical manufacturing workplaces. The purpose of the bill is to inform employees about dangerous substances they are handling in order to prevent accidents and injuries. Organized labor is pushing for tougher state rules that will require labelling of many more chemicals, impose the standards on all manufac­ turers, and authorize employees to refuse to work if they perceive that dangerous chemicals are not being properly labelled or handled. Employers see the refusal to work provision as a potential harrassment tool that unions could use during labor-management strife. They are also war­ ning lawmakers that more expensive, restrictive “right to know” regulations in Michigan will worsen our state’s already uncompetitive business climate. Not surprisingly, the House Labor Committee majority rammed through the labor-backed version of “right to know” on a party-line vote. In order to avoid a partisan brawl, efforts are now underway to reach a compromise between the House and Senate bills. Another kind of “Right to Know.’’ In the 1982 election, Michigan utilities spent millions of dollars on the “D is Dumb” campaign to defeat a ballot proposal they regarded as very harmful to their in­ dustry. However, it wasn’t readily apparent who was paying for the massive advertising effort. That’s because state campaign laws allow cor­ porations and unions to funnel funds into “citizens’ ballot proposal committees" which take credit for sponsoring the ads. Last week the House Policy Committee started to hear testimony on a bill I co-sponsored to address the issue. The measure does not - indeed, cannot restrict the constitutional right of groups to spend money to promote or defeat ballot proposals. But it would require corporations that spend over $40,000 on a ballot proposal to identify in their ads that they are paying for them. Tougher civil penalties for violating the campaign reporting law would also be imposed. I am pushing to further committee action on the proposal.

The national organization was founded in 1910 in Maine by Luther and Charlotte Gulick. On Monday, March 12, Hastings Mayor William Cook signed a proclamation citing March 11-17 as Birthday Week for Camp Fire. The 19 boys and girls shown here were present at the ceremony. Groups from Delton, Middleville and Hastings took part in this week-long celebration. Posters were made and displayed. Cookies, cakes and cupcakes were delivered to the area’s businesses, law enfor­ cement agencies and schools. On Saturday the Bluebirds put up bird houses around the county. Today’s members include both boys and girls. Prairie Sketches with LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE Wilma Gardner was a Sunday visitor of Ralph and Alberta Kenyon.

They went to visit Kim and Jerry and then out to lunch. Renee and Sara spent the evening with grandma and grandpa while their mom and dad attended a wedding. Pat Simmons, along with some other ladies, helped serve the lunch at Brenda VanderMeulen’s wedding Saturday. Some friends and neighbors of Mark Worth en­ joyed listening to him sing and play his guitar at Michaels on Saturday night. Saturday Jodi VanRhee played in the high school jazz band at the Western Invitational Jazz Festival at Western Michigan University. The Wes VanRhee family went to an 80th birth­ day party for Lena Tompson Sunday afternoon at the Ramblewood Community Building in Grand Rapids. Helen Wenger had three robins in her yard (in the snow) this morning - a sign of spring and the renewal of life. What perfect timing of continuity when you’ve just lost a loved one as they did in the death of her uncle, Reg Cridler, a former Prairie farmer. The Wengers hosted a luncheon following the committal service on Tuesday, and among the family present were Norine Cridler and Reg’s children, Judy Claire, Ann Cridler and baby Atasha Marie, Steve and Judy Cridler, Reg and Diane Cridler, Kim and Cari. The Larry VanPutten family helped Jo Anne’s dad, James Carapoulis, celebrate his 69th birthday Sunday in Grand Rapids.

We spent two nights (going and coming) with our children, the Ken Bremers in Wilmore, Kentucky, with Tom’s brother Chuck in Hernando, Fla., his sister Bunny and Lenny Raubunas in Holiday, and with my sister Bob and Ruth Jones and family in Orlando. Another Bremer brother and wife from Chicago joined us to celebrate two birthdays and just plain catch up with each other. It was good. One of my brothers was in Florida too, so we had reunions all over the place. It was really sad to see the acres and acres of black citrus trees. I m not smart enough to know if they will ever bear fruit again, but right now they look pretty bleak. And the tall palms that were frozen look Like giant up-ended brooms with their brown fronds topping the tall trunks. � https://www.barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/25/694/SunandNews_1984-03-29.pdf e5d768225c97532a1e02c67b74c8b6b0 PDF Text Text Hastings Public Library 121 Church Hastings, MI 49058 comp On the inside this week— List Your Track Birthday on Season | the Lions Club i Off and Running Calendar Page 9 Page 2 The Sun What's Happening ★ COMMUNITY BILLBOARD OF EVENTS see page 3 ★ PUBLIC LIBRARY see page 2 ★ MIDDLEVILLE'S PAST page 12 TWELVE PAGES FILLED WITH NEWS OF YOU and YOUR NEIGHBORS and FRIENDSI News Your Hometown Newspaper Serving Middleville and Caledonia MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 114th YEAR • TWENTY CENTS Retires from Baby Bliss Last Thursday was the last day for Barb Blough. 717 Grand Rapids Street.

Women learned to do a whole lot of things no one before had ever thought they could or should do. There are very few jobs women can’t handle, and, as that realization dawned, what was at first a quiet revolution has become a very vocal one, as we women increasingly demand our “rights” — and get them. Lately, a nagging question keeps recurring to me — are we women the victors or the victims in our revolution? In the April issue of National Geographic there is a very interesting article about the “Plain People,” the Amish and Mennonites of Pennsylvania. These people live very plainly, they forsake the luxuries most of us enjoy, as well as many of the things we consider necessitites - cars, electricity, and all the related appliances. Yet, these people are usually prosperous, successful farmers, family and faith oriented, and seemingly quite happy and content with their lot in life. A very different lifestyle is described in an April Good Housekeeping story about Phyllis Schafley. She is a dynamic woman who has been involved in politics and public causes, written books and ar­ ticles, and has played a very active role in rearing and educating her large family of six sons and daughters. However, her husband’s wealth has enabled her to do these things from a position of comfort and financial security. The vast majority of us, American women of the latter half of the twentieth century, fall somewhere between those two extremes. The Amish or Mennonite women and Phyllis Schafley know what their roles are, and they generally fill them well. Most of the rest of us find ourselves trying to wear too many hats. We work in the offices, the fac­ tories, the schools, the hospitals and then we go home and try to be "super mom”, caring for the children, cleaning house, doing laundry, preparing meals - and feeling inadequate when we can’t seem to find time for all the little extras that mean the dif­ ference between living and existing. How did we permit ourselves to get so liberated that we’re now holding down two jobs, either of which should be full time? Have all those marvelous conveniences and a few luxuries really freed us from drudgery? Or have they made us slaves to that additional paycheck? My feelings are truly mixed, and I think I’m too young to be content with my grandmother’s lifestyles as role models, and I’m too old to be com­ pletely happy with my liberation (I still enjoy all those marvelous, special courtesies that used to be my due just because I’m a woman, and I still hate to put fuel in my car!) As many of you know, Cheryl McWhinney and I work in the same dental office, and we often share recipes. Recently, she told me about a couple of new casseroles her family particularly enjoyed. Naturally, I had to have the recipes, and she said I could share them with you. Many thanks, Cheryl. QUICK N EASY CASSEROLE 1 pound ground beef Yt teaspoon salt 1 pkg.

Austin reminded owners of three-wheeled motorcycles known as “All Terrain Vehicles”, that such vehicles must be registered and the operator licensed with a motor­ cycle endorsement to operate on public highways. Austin’s reminder follows scattered reports of young drivers operating ATV’s on highways without a license, registration or motorcycle endor­ sement. An A TV operated on public or private land must carry a special off-road vehicle registration, unless operated exclusively on land owned by the operator. Individuals 12 to 16 years of age may operate such vehicles on public or private land under supervision of an adult or with a safety certificate from the Michigan Dept of Natural Resources. Michigan law defines a three-wheel ATV as a motorcycle and required operators to wear helmets on public highways. Austin also advised individuals operating on private lands to wear helmets and follow safe driving procedures. Injured in Florida Mrs. Jean Bohley of Irving Road, Middleville, is recuperating at her home after being hospitalized for two weeks in St. Petersburg, Florida, where she was injured in an auto accident on March 4.

Ml I Mar. 29,1904 CAPITOL COLUMN BY DICK POSTHUMUS, 31st District State Senator Lobby Registration Act Under Attack Good government reform or a paperwork night­ mare? In 1978, the legislature enacted a law to require the registration of lobbyists and periodic reporting of lobbying expenses. For five years, organizations opposed to the measure fought to have it overturned by the courts, finally, last year, the Lobby Registration Act was upheld. Now, just a few months into its implemen­ tation, the law is under bureaucratic and legislative attack. Appropriations Committee members are balking at the Secretary of State’s request for $298,000 for staff needed to monitor and enforce lobby registration and reporting. In the House, a special committee on which I ser­ ve has started to consider possible amendments to a law which hasn't yet been given a chance to work. In short, the act is designed to report the expenses of individuals or organizations that spend over $1,000 a year communicating directly with state of­ ficials for the purpose of influencing legislative or administrative actions. Who is required to register as a lobbyist or lobbyist’s “agent," and what exac­ tly must be reported are too complicated to describe here. It is enough to say that news reporters and citizens will now have a clearer idea of how much is being spent, by whom, and in what manner to in­ fluence state policies. In an era of special interest politics, I believe that citizens ought to know more about lobbying ac­ tivities. The new law is flawed, however. While lob­ byists must report to the Secretary of State their expenses, state officials themselves do not have to report what they receive from lobbyists. Without the ability to cross-check these expenditures, the act will be difficult to enforce. On the other hand, the law may require more • reporting than citizens want. Lobbyists play a necessary role in presenting information to public policymakers. However, I suspect that the research and clerical costs of compiling this information are not as great a public concern as the tratuitites — the meals and entertainment — that lobbyists may offer to public officials. Limiting reporting to the noninformational “freebies” which should have nothing to do with the making of policy judgements may be a more understandable, enforceable way of ad­ dressing citizen concerns about lobbying excesses. I hope the House Committee will undertake careful, comprehensive review of this law with the goal of making it more effective. In the meantime, I am strongly opposing piecemeal changes in the reform which would undermine its purpose of holding lobbyists and policymakers more accoun­ table. For example, the first proposed bill to come before our committee would have completely exempted non-elected state and local government officials from the Lobby Registration Act. State departmen­ ts and large, urban counties and school districts employ well-paid professionals who try to influence lawmakers on budget and program policies. In turn, state departments that establish policies by ad­ ministrative rule are lobbied vigorously by private and ’public interests. The reporting of these ac­ tivities is every bit as important as the monitoring of private lobbying efforts. Others and I have successfully stalled this first attempt to gut a major part of the lobby reform law. Now we are working with the Secretary of State to develop common sense guidelines that will make the reporting requirements easier to follow. The Lobby Registration Act is far from perfect, but its purpose is sound. The reform should be preserved while lawmakers consider how it can be improved.

Wednesday they toured Grand Valley campus, then Friday they toured the University of Michigan. She’s been accepted at both campuses. Now, for the nitty gritty work of the choice. Member FDIC Kick the habit, scientist urges America’s growth as an elec­ trically powered society is a prime opportunity to kick its dependence on foreign oil, says one of the nation’s most cele­ brated scientists. The switch to electricity from other, more expensive power sources is “one of the most strik­ ing changes in our pattern of energy use,” says Dr. Alvin M. Weinberg. Electricity today accounts for more than 32 per­ cent of U.S. primary energy, almost double what it was just 15 years ago. “We should push oil out of every sector of our society except transport, where it’s genuinely needed,” he says. “Only then can we truly be self-sufficient in energy.” Dr. Weinberg’s comments on American energy appear in the current issue of Focus: Views on Energy, a magazine published by Consumers Power Company. Dr. Weinberg, often called “the grandfather of nuclear energy,” is director of the Institute for Energy Analysis. He was director of the Oak Ridge National Labor­ atory for 18 years, and is past president of the American Nuclear Society. Replacing oil-dependent en­ ergy with electricity, says Dr. Weinberg, is a smart move that America is already making “The price of electricity has gone up, to be sure,” he says, “but not nearly as steeply as the price of oil and gas. As a consequence, electricity is pushing into many areas where it hasn’t been used previously. For example, 30 percent of the steel in the United States is being made electrically today. That’s far Dr. Alvin M. Weinberg more than ever before. It’s hap­ pening in the automobile industry, too.” Where will all of this electricity come from? Coal and nuclear power are Dr. Weinberg’s answers. “I think the use of nuclear power is going to expand in a major way during the next gen­ eration,” he says. “I’m convinced that the present malaise we’re suffering with respect to nuclear energy will pass and we’ll get back on course again. Soon. “The fact is nuclear energy is both cleaner and safer than most other forms of energy.” Already, he says, nuclear power is “a fantastic success. Just think It’s less than 50 years since fission was discovered and by 1990 it will be producing almost 10 percent of all the energy the world needs.” This advertisement is paid for by the shareholders of Consumers Power Company. 18-311-E �Pf. 8 fTlw Sun and News, Middev*. Ml I Mur. 29.1984 Caledonia Happy 60’s IN TOUCH WITH BOB BENDER, 88th District State Representative Realistic Figures Needed on Welfare Caseloads Spring is here, so it must be budget time! Once again the Social Services budget is becoming the focal point of the entire budget process, primarily because it is the largest single item in the overall budget. The proposed budget is as much as $160 million out of balance because of what I believe to be unrealistic welfare and Medicaid cost projections. The number of welfare recipients would have to drop by 1,500 people a month from April 1984 to September of 1984 to match the estimates on which Governor Blanchard has based his "zero growth" budget. Frankly, 1 don’t think that is possible. In fact, ac­ cording to the preliminary February welfare figures, caseloads are up by 5,200 for the month. The Governor has budgeted enough money for assistan­ ce to an average of 224,800 families per month when the number for last month is pegged at 245,300. He is assuming that caseloads won’t increase in the winter months as they historically do, and I don’t LANSING DIARY think that’s a very wise gamble. The Governor’s figures for general assistance totals are equally out of balance, and he has proposed a freeze on doctors, who have not received a Medicaid cost increase since 1977, and hospitals which provide Medicaid services. People who can’t find new jobs, and Michigan’s unemployment rate of 12.5 percent indicates there are tens of thousands of them, are turning to social welfare for their subsistence. I just don’t see the caseload dropping and I’m afraid were going to have serious budgetary problems next year because of it. The solution is to determine honestly and realistically the caseload figures and create some sort of contingency account while we reduce other costs in other areas. If we don’t we’ll surely face executive order cuts and supplemental ap­ propriations that have been so disruptive in recent years. On Monday, March 19, the Happy 60’s club had the Wearing-of-the Green potluck dinner at noon at the Caledonia Christian Reformed Church with 45 attending. The men folk were given green bow ties and the ladies, shamrock name tags. The tables were decorated with a St. Patrick motif and the food tables were bounteously full. The after dinner program consisted of two speakers. Deputy Denny Snyder of the Kent ounty Sheriff Dept, talked on Abuse and Crime with Senior Citizens, and Gloria Mary Schanz, R.N., M.A., founder and president of Nurses Unlimited Inc., of Grand Rapids, showed films of her trip to Russia and how things are over there. All was so in­ teresting and enjoyed by all. Following a short business meeting. St. Pat refreshments were served of green punch and the St. Patrick and birthday cake for March donated by Mr. Chuck Roetman. Our appreciation to all who had part in any of this fine day. The next meeting and dinner will be April 9 at Peace Reformed Church, with an Easter potluck dinner and program, and something else that you haven’t done in years, and now you are senior citizens you try and guess what it will be. Watch for later announcement on this special day and mark your calendar. by Lillian Schultz BY PAUL HILLEGONDS, 54th Dist. State Representative Need Input on Federal Budget Question With the federal deficit continuing to climb, serious concern is being expressed at several levels of government over the impact our national debt could have on the country's future economic stability. Several presidents, including President Reagan, have had some success in slowing the deficit growth, but have not been able to get a handle on reducing that deficit — primarily because Congress has been unable or unwilling to reduce government spending. This problem has resulted in a nationwide movement to amend the U. S. Constitution to require a federal balanced budget. Thirty-two states have already passed resolutions calling for a limited constitutional convention for this purpose, with 34 states needed to force Congress to convene such a convention. Such a resolution — Senate Joint Resolution “E" — has been introduced in the Michigan Senate and will be taken up this week by the Senate Committee on Administration and Rules. Specifically, that resolution requests COngress to call a constitutional convention for the exclusive purpose of amending 1X1 PERFECT the United States Constitution to require that federal appropriations made for any fiscal year not exceed the estimated federal revenues for that year, unless there was a national emergency. Those opposed to a constitutional convention for a federal balanced budget argue that the U. S. Con­ stitution, while providing for amendment by a con­ vention, is vague on how such a convention would be organized. The predominate question being raised is whether a convention could be limited to a single issue or whether several other issues would be dealt with and amended at the same time. Proponents of a federal balanced budget amen­ dment note that the federal budget has been balan­ ced only once in the last 22 years; that efforts to bring federal spending under control and reduce the national debt have all been unsuccessful; and that the only procedure strong enough to do the job and provide the necessary fiscal discipline at the federal level is a constitutional amendment. It is apparent that the issue will soon reach the floor of the Senate and, as your representative in the Senate, I will be asked to vote on the issue. Should the federal budget be required to be balan­ ced? And if so, is a constitutional amendment the route to take? I’d like to hear from you. OUR SERVICE. BEELER FUNERAL HOME CONRAD R. BEELER 914 W.

Students A legislative amendment which would help Michigan high schools develop a system where students could choose careers and then select cour­ ses enabling them to fulfill their goals is needed to better prepare young people for the ever-changing job market. an area lawmaker said recently. State Representative Robert Bender recently amended the 1984-85 school aid bill to provide fun­ ding for employability development plans (EDPs), which tie together the entire educational process through better career counseling, specific job-skill training classes and specific selection of basic academic skill classes. Catkin ion., Family Vision Care Contact Lenses in the New Caledonia Village Center 9361 Broadmoor Open Monday thru Saturday TWaday m<ht until 8 p m Phone 891-9245 ST. PAUL LUTHERAN MISSOURI SYNOD The 88th District lawmaker said the process in­ volves the interaction of students, parents and counselors in discussions about grades, test scores, and work experiences in relation to a student's career goals. “For many students, there is no systematic indepth assessment of abilities, interests or educational plans before they select classes or careers,’’ he said. “By using EDPs, more students will examine their options and benefit from a more successful high school education.'' Bender explained that with an EDP, ninth graders discover their in­ terests via the Michigan Occupation Informational System. Student profiles are established and a list of occupations which match those profiles are iden­ tified. After the MOIS profile is completed, students discuss the results with counselors, and then con­ struct a curriculum to meet their career goals. “By the time the entire process is finished, paren­ ts, students and counselors should agree that the student’s outlined plan is the best course of action,” he said. "If every school district in the state were to establish an EDP, thousands of Michigan High School students could have a more worthwhile education and be better equipped for a meaningful career afterward,’’ Bender concluded.

Ml I Apr. 5.1984 Woman's Whirl by JOANNE BOYSEN During our family’s growing up years, one of our favorite ways to spend a vacation was to go camping. (It was about the only thing we could afford for all of us!) We’ve camped in all parts of the state, sometimes in private campgrounds, but mostly in state parks, and have always felt that Michigan has really outstanding parks and campgrounds. True to the old saying about the grass being greener on the other side of the fence, our favorite parks have generally been the ones furthest from home • until this winter when we have been living temporarily in the Gun Lake area. We’ve really begun to appreciate the marvelous facilities we have at our back door in Yankee Springs Recreation area. Sunday morning was a jewel of a day. There was fog on the lake early in the morning, and when the sun broke through, every tree, twig and weed glistened, the birds trying to ‘out sing” each other, the sky was a heavenly blue, as was the lake, and the geese and ducks seemed to feel that it was there solely for their enjoyment. Don and I went for a long walk, soaking up the sun, the beauty, and the peace and quiet. If only I were a poet, I might convey the sheer enjoyment, the simple pleasure of being where we were when we were - a prevue of spring. (Even the discovery that the little amphitheater in the park had been vandalized didn’t destroy our appreciation of the park and the day, but we can’t begin to understand why anyone could possibly have any reason or excuse for smashing the walls of the little shell. It seems such a stupid, senseless thing to do.) Some people have the delightful knack of thinking of nice things, really thoughtful gestures and then doing them. Doris Brog really made me feel special last week when she gave me a pin that had been given to her at a Rotary Convention she and Fred had attended about 1954 or ’55, she thought. I am pleased and honored that she wanted me to have it. The only trouble with getting all these delicious new recipes is that I want to try them all, and that doesn’t help in my never-ending battle to keep my weight under control. Sometimes I have to wait until all the family is home to help us eat all the goodies. This recipe for Honey Cake, sent to me by Evelyn Geukes, is one I want to try soon. HONEY CAKE 2 cups unsifted allVi cup sugar purpose flour Yt cup vegetable or 2‘7t tsp. baking powder safflower oil Vi tsp. salt Yt cup honey 1 cup milk 2 eggs Vi tsp. vanilla extract 1.

I I I at your Public Library by CHRIS BOYSEN Public Library Assistant Are you in the mood for reading simply to be en­ tertained? Perhaps you are the perfect candidate for what I call the “beach collection.” These books qualify for this collection by: being paperback thus easy to transport and prop up while you are lounging in the sun, and providing a simple enter­ taining plot, not requiring 100 per cent concen­ tration. In anticipation of the coming season, we’ve added to our collection. Maybe these books will ap­ peal to you even if you aren’t heading for the beach. Dr William A.

One of the more perplexing issues before a taxation subcommittee on which I serve is a bill to repeal the motor fuel tax exemption for ethanol — better known as * 'gasohol.' ’ Gasohol is a blend of 10% ethanol, alcohol derived from grains, with 90% gasoline. Currently, Michigan provices a 4-cents/gallon exemption for gasohol made with ethanol produced either in Michigan or in states offering a similar tax break. This is in addition to a 5-cents/gallon federal exemption. The Michigan tax break is scheduled to phase oiut of existence by 1987, but the proposed legislation would end the 4-cents/gallon bargain immediately. Issues concerning the bill include: Has the Exemption worked? Those for repeal argue that the tax break, enacted in 1979, has failed to stimulate ethanol production in Michigan. Only one ethanol plant is now in operation, producing only 300,000 gallons annually, or less than 1% of total state consumption. Repeal opponents claim that other plants are being planned. More directly, the exemption has helped the ethanol industry to capture 15% to 20% of the state's gasoline market - making Michigan the largest consumer market for gasohol in the nation. Even if little ethanol is produced in our state, an estimated 7 million bushels of grain grown in Michigan will be sold to midwestern plants this year. Would Ending the Break End Consumption? Repealers argue “no", if the price determines usage. With the subsidy, gasohol users can save an estimated 2-cents/gallon on regular unleaded blends and 4-cents/gallon on premium unleaded. Even with the repeal, they claim that gasohol will remain price competitive. Exemption advocates warn that higher prices will CAPITOL COLUMN result in lower gasohol consumption. Also, the profit margin on gasohol is less because of higher production and transportation costs. Even with the state exemption, they say. gasohol producers and retailers are operating on a shoestring. A Conservation Tool? Oil producers favoring repeal point out that pricing finite commodities at their free market values is the only way to truly encourage conservation. When the true price of gasohol is more competitive with 100% petroleum­ based gasoline, consumers will make the necessary switch and use less oil - without a tax subsidy. Tax break backers calculate that gasohol sales have saved the consumption of 69.6 million gallons of gasoline in Michigan since 1980. With an unstable Middle East and dependence on imports for 30% of the nation’s petroleum needs, subsidizing conservation is a wise investment. Environmental Plus or Minus? Unscrupulous marketers have blended more cheaply-produced methanol - a wood, coal or gas derivative - with gasoline and have marketd it as "gasohol.” This product - not covered by the tax exemption - has been blasted by the Environmental Protection Agency because of the damage it causes to an auto emission control devices. Exemption supporters respond that the legislature's recent action to require labeling of ethanol and methanol as well as testing of blwnds by s state inspectors should reduce the marketing abuses. Furthermore, ethanol-blended gasohol contains less lead than gasoline - an environmental benefit. Food or Fuel? Some who favor repeal are concerned that grains used to maintain America’s energy addiction will be diverted from hungry persons at home and abroad. Gasohol backers reply that only the starch in the grain is used to produce alcohol, leaving a dried grain which is richer in protein and easier to ship to starving nations. How is our Tax Money Best Spent? The exemption during Fiscal Years 1984-86 will mean a loss of state and federal matching funds, totaling as much as >61.3 million. Repealers ask: Wouldn't the use of those revenues to repair rural roads - and a less costly, more narrowly targeted tax incentiuve to encourage ethanol production in Michigan - be a better bargain for farmers and gasohol users alike? The other side argues that the best assurance of gasohol production and consumption - and the agricultural and processing related jobs this new industry promises - is continuation of the tax exemption. There you have some of the claims. Now it’s your turn As the battle over repealing the trax ex emption for gasohol heats up. I’d like to know your views. r$ been over 15 years since the Surgeon General first came out with the warning fix ugarrfte packs And during that time Citizens Insurance Company of Ament a has noticed something in­ teresting about non smokers they have trwer household fires And now, we’ve done something about it.

Ina state with winters like Michigan, energy costs are no small matter, especially for the elderly and the poor. The State Legislature has just passed a thorough “energy assurance" package designed to help people on low and fixed incomes with their utility bills. Senior citizens, welfare clients and low-income age earners will benefit from the weatherization and heating assistance provided under the new legislation. The overall program will use about >260 million in federal funds and about >160 million in state aid to provide a number of services. Among them: low income wage earners will be given tax credits on their home heating bills; welfare families will receive winter utility shutoff protection if they agree to let the state weatherize their homes; and special “lifeline’ rates will be repealed. About 6,000 homes of welfare families will be in­ sulated this year, with a final goal of 30,000. Once a home is insulated, the family must keep consum­ ption at moderate levels. Also, homeowners would be expected to pay off some of the costs of the in­ sulation if they sell their homes within three years after the weatherizaion is complewted. A landlord would have to pay the state back if the building is sold within five years. Under the plan, the elderly also get protection against power shutoffs. The utilities would work with them to arrange a special payment program to make winter bills more manageable. Welfare clients, who owe back payments to the utilities, must agree to pay five percent of the debt out of their welfare checks each month. As the final, and most controversial part of the package, the lifeline utility rates will be repealed. Those rates, which offered lower bills for low con­ sumption were as much help to people with winter homes in Florida as they were to the poor. The repeal puts the responsibility for rate structuring back in the hands of the Public Service Commission, and takes the State out of the rate-making business. Repeal of lifeline will mean lower rates for some and higher rates for others, but the average bills will be the same. Some 300,000 Michigan citizens, two-thirds of whom are elderly, are eligible for assistance under Michigan's newly expanded energy assurance program. The final program, after long negotiations, is generally fair and progressive. All the measures, with the exception of the lifeline repeal, have been signed into law. Hopefully, because of the preventive approach taken through weatherization, this program will eventually begin to pay for itself, and offer the best energy assurance to the people who need it most.

Hopefully Don can reproduce them. Aren’t they going to be a wonderful addition to our “book” of the area that we hope to have printed for fall. Thanks much to both you and Neal. Marion, for your contributions. Now we’re asking (again) for more of you folks to write your own family story, putting in interesting family anecdotes as well as available dates. Then to make a “Middleville Book’’ will be just a matter of reprinting columns, hopefully selling books to take care of costs incurred . Interested? It’s your chance to have your family history recorded. THE BRADY FAMILY by Marion Janice Marble Cook My ancestors settled in Yankee Springs when they came to the Middleville area. My grandparents were Clarence Brady and Nellie Smock, both born in 1868. They were married in 1890 in Livingston County. Michigan and lived there for about 8 years. They then made a move to Tullahama, Tennessee, but only stayed about a year, moving to Morris. Michigan and only staying there about a year also. In 1901 they moved to Yankee Springs Township and rented the farm that was then known as the “Grey Place.” It was east of Basset Lake Road, on Chief Noonday Road. They later bought 120 acres on Basset Lake Road, the lake was on the back of their farm. They had 5 children when they moved here and had 3 more. My mother, Bernice Alice Brady Marble, was next to the youngest and was born in 1907. As did most all the folks that lived in Yankee Springs at the time, the Bradys had a hard time making ends meet. Any history you might read about Yankee Springs Township tells about what a beautiful area it was when the earlier settlers came here. Lots of big trees and best of all it seemed to be dryer than most wooded areas. Not realising the soil was sandy, the pioneer farmers thought this was a real plus. The season would be a little longer if they could get onto their fields a little sooner in the spring. Cabins were built and fields were cleared, many times burning the virgin pines just to be rid of them. However, they found there was just a thin layer of topsoil over the sand, and in just a few years the land was found to be worthless when it came to raising good crops. About 1912, a peddler came through - selling grapes. He had a real sales pitch for selling and many of the settlers spent their last money on the grape sprouts, thinking this would be the way they could finally make a go of it on their farms. It was just another disappointment when the grapes didn't grow either. As one wanders through the little trails in Yankee Springs, remnants of the old homesteads, the grape vineyards, a couple of rambling apple trees and a clump of lilac bushes still mark out the places where these pour souls tried to hack out a living for their families. In the mid-thirties, the State of Michigan stepped in and purchased the farms from the remaining few who were still there, making it possible for them to relocate Their loss was our gain — we now have our beautiful Yankee Springs State Recreation Area. My grandmother was one who sold to the government and was glad to get the few dollars she did. The farm had a little old dilapitated house, which was way too small for 10 people, but they made do. Mom recalls it was very, very hot in the summer as well as very, very cold in winter. It was located on Basset Lake Road, where the east entrance to the lake is. Grandpa Brady and his sons Raymond. Lyle and Wayne were always interested in steam and gasoline engines, and usually had the latest ones out. They were well known for their threshing machines. When they would leave to go threshing, many times they would be gone for weeks, just TK Boosters Meet Monday The TK Boosters will meet Monday. April 9. 7:30 p.m. at the Middle School Library.

Organized in November, 1900, at the invitation of Mrs. H. M. French, it has continued to be an active force in the community. The organization meeting was held in Mrs. French's home, and the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. William Coman; vice president. Mrs. George Coman; and secretary* treasurer, Mrs. Robert Garrett. Meetings were held bi-monthly in the homes of members, until the beginning of World War I, when one meeting a month was devoted to Red Cross work. The object of the club as it appears on the wellpreserved constitution is "the advancement of literary work and social ability." During its early years books were procured from the state library, from which programs were prepared and given by members. Since World War II, meetings have been changed to one each month. At present the membership consists of 40 women living in and near Middleville. Most residents of the Prairie are members. We are proud of our one charter member, Mrs. Carl Pferdesteller. and our several honorary members. Present officers are: President, Mrs. Fred Third row; Rose Mitchell, Pearl Kenyon, Mrs. Stamp, Mrs. Will (Mary) Gray, Sara Cook, Carrie Matteson; vice president, Mrs. Roy Johnson, secretary, Mrs. P. L. Gill; treasurer, Mrs. J C. Johnson, Mrs. Elias (Hattie) Gray. Top row; Cedell Hatton, May French, Flora Pferdesteller, Emma Schad; and organist, Mrs. Jerry Niemeyer. Coman.

Everyone will enjoy it! �Pg. 2 / The Sun and News, Middle**, Ml I Apr. 12,1984 Boysenberries Fruitful Thots from The Editor DON BOYSEN \------------------ SOMETIMES THE NEGATIVE news is all that we get, and it can be discouraging. It was only good news that the Middleville Rotarians heard this week when spokesmen for the local Bradford White Corporation told about their company’s progress and bright future. As all manufacturing firms, the recession of the early 80’s nearly killed BWC. Sales were off and prospects were not good. But, according to the company representatives, things began to turn around when there was a total commitment by the management and union to keep the company going. "We had to build a better product and we had to be more competitive.” With everyone’s concern (including a 42 month union contract) BWC has emerged as one of five water heater companies in the U.S. and the “only one left north of the Mason-Dixon line.” (All of the other water heater manufacturing facilities have fled to the south.) BWC is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar expansion and improvement of their Middleville plant. “We have made a commitment to this community in the long range plans of the company/’ the BWC speaker told the Rotarians. Like we said, we’re happy to report the good news! ★ THE COST OF DEMOCRACY can get pretty expensive. Middleville Village Clerk Shirley Eaton furnished us with some costs concerning the recent primary and general election in the village. Total expenses (which include publication notices, election supplies and workers at the polls) for the two elections came to over $1,218! A total of $664.50 was spent by the village to conduct the primary election with 107 people voting. This translates into $6.21 per vote. In the general election, 166 voters cast their ballot, and that election cost $553.82, or $3.33 per vote. It does seem like a pretty expensive way to select those people who serve in our village government. The real tragedy is not the dollars spent, but in the general apathy of the residents. Only a small fraction of the folks take the time to vote and even a smaller group are willing to serve on the council. Self government can only exist with people participation. About this time of the year we hear an awful lot about “how sick I am of politics and politicians." Consider the alternative, folks. I’m sure some people were a little sick of the Hitlers, Stalins and other despots of recent years. And, apparently, they had little to say about it. You do have a say, and it is YOUR part of the political process to do your job! at your Public Library OBITUARIES by CHRIS BOYSEN Public Library Assistant JOHN F. GUENTER We’ve received an exceptionally good-looking supply of new fiction novels. I’m having a hard time narrowing down this list. Every single book looks like something I’d like to read. Some of my favorite authors have been very productive lately. Here's a sample of the best. The Story of Henri Tod by William F. Buckley. Henri Tod discovers an awesome secret.

Book 3 of the Second Chronicles for those followers of Thomas Covenant. Nearly the conclusion of the best selling fantasy. The House of the Wolf - John Coleridge, an American professor, journeys to Lugo’s to study folklore. Little does he know of the legend which claims the area haunted. Smart Women by Judy Blume. This novel involves two forty-year old divorcees who are friends. They must learn to cope with being single and bringing up their daughters. The Aquitaine Progression by Robert Ludlum. Joel Converse is plunged into violence as he is 1 singled out to expose and destroy the web of terror and deceit of the Aquitaine Conspiracy. With This Ring by Leona Blair.

Boarding the plane at Grand Rapids, only six seats were available, so Mary, Ann and I stayed behind, hoping to catch a later flight.

There was a concrete avalanche wall for traveler s protection. We also saw many folks skiing down the mountain slopes.

When ELaster is Over But The Eggs are Left Baskets full of brightly colored eggs are one of Easter’s oldest and most loved traditions. When the holiday is over, though, many people are left with the problem of what to do with so many hard-cooked eggs. Try some of the suggestions given here to make life after the holidays a bit more palatable. Properly cooked and stored eggs will be most appetizing. Add fresh eggs to a pot of cold water. Put the pan on medium heat and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat at once to keep the water just below simmering. Simmer eggs about 20 minutes. Never boil hard-cooked eggs. Cool immediately in cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent the yolk from darkening. Any color change that may occur in the yolk is harmless, but it does take away from the eye appeal of the egg. Hard-cooked eggs should be refrigerated but, if the shells are not cracked, can be left at room temperature up to 12 hours. Once the holiday is over, hard-cooked eggs needn’t be destined only to brown-bag lunches. They are much more versatile than most people imagine. For starters, try making a quick egg sauce. Add two finely chopped eggs to a can of condensed cream of celery soup. Mix in two tablespoons chopped green pepper and Yt cup milk and season with pepper. Heat and serve over vegetables or ham croquettes. A quick and delicious side dish can be made by combining four hard-cooked eggs with a can of kidney beans. Mix with celery, parley, chopped onion and a few tablespoons of French dressing. Chill before serving. Sliced eggs added to a basic cream sauce will add flavor to most vegetable dishes. Egg slices will brighten up many salads. Don’t forget the old stand-by of egg salad as you plan uses for your Easter eggs. To give a new look and taste to the traditional egg and mayonnaise mixture, try adding Ya teaspoon of curry powder or mix in any of the following: chopped cooked meat (leftover ham or lamb from Easter dinner), pickle relish, chopped ripe or green olives, pimento, prepared mustard or sunflower seeds. Use your imagination and you may wish you had colored more Easter eggs this year. For more information, call the Kent County Cooperative Extention service at 774-3265.

This new survey divided the state into five geographical locations. In the Upper Peninsula, the number of households using wood fuel for heating was 53.4 percent, and most of those were as a major heat source. In the southeastern metropolitan area, the percentage is only 24.7 percent, and about 80 percent of those use wood only as a supplemental heat source. The whole state average was 32.1 percent of the households using wood as a heat source. This is about the same percent as the previous year The Michigan consumption of fuelwood for households has increased to 3,142,213 standard cords per year. The previous year (1981-82), it was 2,863,358 cords. If a value of S60 per cord is used, then this amounts to over 188.5 million dollars per year. This is a significant contribution to Michigan’s economy. More complete results of this survey are available at the Kent Cooperative Extension Service. 1 Posthumus to Co-Chair Delegation to Germany State Senator Dick Posthumus has been selected to co-chair a delegation of public officials going to the Federal Republic of West Germany to discuss East-West relations and the West’s role. Posthumus, who was one of six American officials and the only representative from the midwest chosen by the American Council of Young Political Leaders, will be a guest of the West German government from April 1-15. The council is a bi­ partisan, non-profit organization based in Washington and aimed at fostering an interest in an awareness of international affairs and domestic policies. "I am really honored to be chosen to co-chair the delegation in this program,” Posthumus stated. ‘‘The experience will enable me to be a betterinformed legislator: and, hopefully, will give me some very new ideas to help improve business in Michigan. I am sure the contacts I will make with my counterparts in Germany will give me a greater insight and a better understanding of our role as partners in the free world. ” Senator Posthumus will not be traveling at state expense. \ LARRY KOPEN ELECTRIC \ J COMMERCIAL-RESIDENTIAL 0 New Construction, Remodeling, Service Upgrading and Repairs CUSTOM HOME WIRING 16 Years Experience 948-4043 or 891-1156 r SIZZLFRS 6 oz. or 8 oz. $2891, ROUND STEAK by Wm.

GEUKES aa fylUrKUl Downtown Middleville — JL Custom Slaughter, �Pj. 8 I The Sun and Newt Middleville. Ml I Apr. 12. 1984 CAPITOL COLUMN BY DICK POSTHUMUS, 31st District State Senator Clay Hills with WREA THA McNEE Houae and Senate Disagree Over Tax Cut Someone once said there are only two things which are certain in life — death and taxes. In Michigan, however, it seems the tax and spenders in Lansing want to combine the two — and tax you to death. The size and cost of state government should be reduced by returning the budget surpluses which are now being created by the excessive Blanchard “38” percent tax increase to Michigan taxpayers in the form of a tax rollback. A Republican-sponsored tax cut, which would reduce the current 6.1 percent income tax rate to 5.35 percent on July 1 of this year and to 4.6 percent on July 1, 1985, was passed in the Senate and sent to the House. This measure would save Michigan taxpayers more than three-quarters of a billion dollars over the next three years. However, the House, led by the tax and spenders in Lansing, rejected the Senate-passed version during a rare, “dark of night” Sunday session. Instead, the House adopted a $130 million tax rollback measure that would reduce the tax rate to 5.35 percent on October 1 - period. They said this is the most the state can afford to give back to the taxpayers. I firmly believe that a down payment on a tax cut, which the working men and women of this state deserve and which Michigan can afford, should begin in the current fiscal year which ends September 30. That is why I will continue to push for a tax rollback to 5.35 percent on July 1. It is reasonable, responsible and attainable. And I would hope that those legislators in the House who want to keep the taxpayer’s money will "see the light.” Budget surplus estimates for this fiscal year are already being projected at over $230 million. State revenue figures are continuing to improve; and a July 1 tax rollback to 5.35 percent would cost the state only $130 million. The early tax rollb ack could take place, the state could still deposit some $350 million in the “rainy day” fund and no cuts would need to be made in state programs or services. Because of the sharp differences between the House and Senate over the time and amount of tax rollback, the Senate has postponed further action on a tax cut until April 17. This will give the Blanchard administration and Democratic legislators an opportunity to take a close look at the new revenut projections and to discuss the tax cut proposals with their constituents. If the Governor and the Democrats refuse to budge from their position of 5.35 percent on October 1, I hope the Senate will amend the House-passed version by moving the 5.35 rollback up to July 1 and send it back to the House for reconsideration. It is important that we give the taxpayers of Michigan the biggest tax rollback possible at the earliest date possible and send it to the Governor for his signature. Once this is resolved, I will then support another Republican-sponsored bill in the Senate to roll the tax back to 4.6 percent on July 1, 1985. and send it to the House for action. The Senate-passed tax cut proposal is reasonable, not ridiculous. And it provides tax cuts without budget cuts. I believe you, not the state, should have your dollars to spend — but the Governor needs to be convinced. He can be reached by writing: Governor James Blanchard, State Capitol, Lansing, MI 48909. \___________ June and Howard Colburn returned from Florida after a two-week vacation.

REPRESENTED BY LANSING DIARY ROB WHITE BY PAUL HILLEGONDS, 54th Dist. State Representative PHONE (616) 281-2330 Income Tax Rollback Update If you’ve found it difficult to follow the maneuvering over taxing and spending policies in Lansing, here’s a brief update: Governor Blanchard in January admitted the existence of a $130 million state surplus in this year’s budget. He proposed to drop the income tax rate from 6.1% to 5.35% on October 1,1984 instead of January 1,1985. However, h e warned lawmakers this would not be possible unless we were willing to approve a “zero growth” budget for 1984-85. The Republican-controlled Senate in March voted for a faster, more substantial income tax rollback before enacting next year’s budget. The Senate plan called for a reduced tax rate, from 6.1% to 5.35% on July 1, 1984, and a return to the 4.6% rate on January 1, 1985. Accompanying this rollback bill were measures to cap next year’s general fund spending at $5,383 billion — the level proposed by the Governor — and to limit the amount of money to be placed into the state’s savings account — the “rainy day” fund — at $250 million annually. Democratic House Speaker Gary Owen promised to pass next year’s budget first and then deal with the tax reduction, as swiftly as possible. He was serious. This past Saturday, the House met in special session to finish its work on the appropriations bills. Within minutes after the budget was passed, at 2:00 a m. Sunday morning, we voted on the tax rollback. The Senate version was scrapped. The Governor’s plan was adopted. In this flurry of activity by the Governor and both houses of the legislature, much of it political posturing, I believe some basic problems have gone unaddressed: The Governor’s “Zero Growth” Budget is Wishful Thinking. The Blanchard budget for 198485, endorsed by the House, actually increases spending in a number of state departments and programs, but is an overall no growth plan because of projected lower welfare caseloads and a reduction in the social services budget. The trouble is that state welfare caseloads are currently increasing. In fact, House fiscal experts are warning lawmakers that the Governor may have underestimated social services spending by as much as $160 million next year. Tax rollback aside, this over-optimistic budgeting is exactly the type of practice which got Governor Milliken into so much fiscal trouble during the last few years of his administration. Republicans Cannot Prudently Cut Taxes Without Cutting State Spending. By accepting the Governor’s overall spending level and limiting the amount of revenues which can be saved for future economic downturns, the Senate is also asking for trouble. In short, a larger tax cut which is based on underestimated expenditures and borrowing from tomorrow can only result in another fiscal crisis next year or in 1986. That’s why, in the House Taxation Committee last week, I advocated the following plan: 1) That as much as $350 million be placed in the “rainy day fund” next year, rather than the $250 million proposed by the Senate; 2) That a bi-partisan effort be made to re-evaluate the Governor’s budget assumptions • to anticipate higher welfare caseloads by cutting proposed spending in all state departments and programs; 3) That a compromise between the Senate and Blanchard tax rollback plans be developed at the same time the budget is overhauled. House Republicans reflected this view by proposing a 5.35% income tax rate on July 1, 1984, and a return of the tax rate to 4.6% on January 1, 1986, instead of January 1, 1985 as proposed by the Senate. Not unexpectedly, a disciplined House Democratic caucus ignored Republican budget­ cutting and tax rollback amendments and pushed through the Governor’s plan. Now the stage shifts again to the Republican Senate, which must act on the House measures. A compromise will have to be reached if the state is to avoid more government by crisis in the future. The Senate must pare the Governor’s budget so that it is a “zero growth” pian in fact rather than fantasy. Any final tax rollback should be based on a realistic spending plan, not on borrowing from the “rainy day” fund. Unless spending and taxes are reduced together, we will find ourselves in the same mess which led to last year’s income tax hike.

I noticed my Washington article was cut for space available, but I wanted to say we took a picnic lunch and visited the Pacific Ocean. The whitecaps were mammoth and there was a mud tide, but everyone had fun running up and down the beach collecting clam shells, starfish, etc. A white cap got Ann all wet up to the knees, so I gave her my slacks to wear and I wore my slip over sweater upside down for slacks to keep warm. They took pictures of me in my crazy outfit. Had fun! Mr. Hibbard Hale, 91, passed away April 9. He was a former Caledonia American Legion Member. Marge and Gerald Gless are his stepchildren.

Somehow the grass and trees around the smaller home she just moved into caught fire and nearly ruined the trees surrounding the area.

On Wednesday there was a grass fire north of 84th St. on the highway. I picked up son Jim Gehl from the airport Tuesday afternoon.

I had taken Laneta to Venice for her permanent cast, and in front of the doctor’s office it was 4 " deep with water and cars setting out in the middle of this large puddle. We finally got around by detouring. When we got onto US 41 it was bumper to bumper with traffic that had been re­ routed because of high water Clarke and I took Laneta out to dinner Thursday evening at 5:00. The dinner lasted until 10 that night. After our good dinner we came out to go to the car and while we stood waiting for him to unlock the door, Laneta tripped over a bunting block and in the fall she broke her right wrist. The ambulance came and rushed her to the Venice hospital and it was a splintered fracture. So now we have the “blind leading the blind.” Although I am so much better and getting around fairly well. Hopefully can stand that long ride home April 18. Today, Tuesday, April 10, one of my good neighbors will take me out for 4 o’clock dinner to help celebrate my birthday - a little early, but okay anyway. Clarke and Laneta will go too. After church and lunch we decided to call on some former neighbors of ours here in the park, Hazel and Bill McFarland and 95-year old Grandma Ruth. We had such a good visit and were shown their new mobile home. They seemed to be happy with it all. We left there at 2:00. Bill decided to take a nap - a long one, for he passed away in his sleep. Laneta has had many callers and telephone calls from home, No. 38, Englewood Fla. 33533. A group from our park went on a trip to Mexico and the islands. One of the group came home with a fractured left wrist. She stepped off the curbing in Jamaica, so wherever you are, be careful. See you soon.

Leading the track team this year are co-captains Scott Duflo and Monty Sanford. The team will be participating in relays at Olivet, Caledonia. Galesburg-Augusta and Delton, along with a league schedule that is difficult. This should make for a very interesting year. The Regional will be held at Godwin, the State meet at Clare, and The Barry County meet at Middleville. League meets begin at 4 p.m. Looking for TK Letters We currently have 24 young men on the TK track team. One of the requirements to earn a Varsity letter in track at Middleville is to score at least 8 points in varsity competition. Some of the TK grads know what it means to earn a varsity letter, it is something you always treasure. For the younger members to score in meets is a difficult chore, but for the upper classmen, points come much easier. This track season, I would like to publish the weekly point totals, so you can offer encouragement to those struggling to get a letter, and congratulate those picking up all the points and hoping to be the team ’s most valuable member.

NO. 17 • APRIL 26,1984 MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 Bender to Seek Second Term STATE REPRESENTATIVE ROBERT BENDER State Representative Robert Bender (RMiddleville) has announced that he is seeking re election to the Michigan House of Representatives. The lawmaker said that during his first term in the House he has placed a high priority on keeping in direct contact with the people in the 88th District. "This has been of great help in better representing the views of my constituents and will become even more valuable as I look forward to another term and increased responsibilities in the Legislature," he said. Bender, a former Navy pilot and Squadron commander, is in the Republican vice chair of the House Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. He also serves on the House Agriculture. Corrections and Social Services Committees, Because of the 1983 redistricting law, the 88th District has undergone some changes. The district formerly included all of Ionia County and most of Barry County, except for Thornapple and Yankee Springs Townships. The new district includes all of Barry County, parts of Ionia, the townships of Boston, Berlin, Campbell. Danby, Lyonns, Odessa, Orange, Portland and Sebewa; three townships (Leighton, Martin and Gunplain) in Allegan County, and Bowne Township in Kent County.

Lois is etill there Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday. I 'm trying to be helpful on Thursday and Friday. I think I spend more time asking questions than I do answering them, but I guess after almost thirty years in the printing and publishing business, it’s about time I learned more about it. (No. I haven’t quit working in the dental office; I’m still a dental hygienist part time). AU the changes in our lives in the past few months are, I hope, teaching me to be a little more flexible in my approach to almost everything. I’ve always had a compulsion to plan ahead, try to think things through, be prepared (I still don’t like surprises • most of the time!), but that has been hard to do lately, so I ve been trying hard to take each day as it comes • be more spontaneous. There are real advantages - less work, more fun • and you don't tend to get in a rut. I’ve also finally figured out that you can drive yourself and everyone else nuts if you try to be too logical and thorough while you're making choices and decisions on a project as major as building a house. Sometimes you just have to go with what you like. In spite of the weatherman's failure to provide a warm, sunny Easter that he predicted early last week, it was a good day. Our whole family managed to make it to my parents* home for a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Mom made it a combination birthday/ (there are four of us with birthdays within a couple weeks) Easter dinner, and there was no point in even thinking about diets — I really blew it, but it sure did taste good. After the big holiday meals, casseroles sound good again. This is another recipe that Cheryl McWhinney gave me • quick, easy and tasty.

It's a growing trend in American kitchens from coast to coast. Some have eliminated meat from their diet due to the increasing cost of the product, some for health reasons, and some because the idea of eating meat is not appealing. Like me. many of you have cut down on your meat intake for some or all of these reasons. This should not condemn you to a life of boring bland food. Vegetarian meals can be unique and delicious. Perhaps a redesign in the menu department is required. Most cooks structure the whole meal around the meat entree. These books will provide exciting alternatives. How many devoted meat eaters are ready to quit reading this column? Don’t! I’m not advocating the elimination of all meats from our diets; just stressing the goodness of fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains.

When you lose your independence through loss of vision, someone else’s eyes give your sight back to you - as well as to help return some independence. Dorothy is so grateful - she says if any of you have the opportunity to donate your eyes at some time, be assured the person receiving is so appreciative.

We learned alot about putting trains together and not realizing the different names of all the cars. Mr. Miller told us he found out President Reagan never had a train set when he was young, so he had one assembled for him and presented it to him in Washington. These trains are shipped all over the world. After seeing all the departments with our tour guide, Rosalie Ralicki, how trains are put together with the help of their 14 employees, our tour ended at 11:30.

Don Heydens of the Holy Family Catholic Church, Rev. Ed Passenger of the Caledonia United Methodist Church, Rev. Dick McClain of the Leighton United Methodist Church and Rev. Wavne Kiel of the Peace Reformed Church for their combined efforts to host a community-wide Good Friday Service at the Caledonia High School Cafetorium. It was a blessing to gather as Christians in our community under the one Cross of Calvary and, in the fellowship of Jesus’s love, to together both honor and worship our One Lord and Savior. Christ’s death on the cross was necessary to reconcile us to God, and it is as we come to the foot of His cross that we are united to Him and then to one another, so it seemed especially significant that this community service should take place on Good Friday. It is my hope that this fellowship of worship will find expression again next year. CHURCH OF MIDDLEVILLE M-37, north of Middleville - Ph. 795-9726 Wesley Smith, Pastor Mark J.

Should Middleville’s downtown Main Street have a “facelift?” That is a question Village Manager Jim ‘Kit’ Roon posed to the Village Council in their session last week. In his proposal, Roon suggested that the Planning Commission check into the possibility of giving Main Street a fresher look. Roon said that there may be grant money or some other sources of funds that could be used for such a project. “The first thing that must be done is to ex­ plore all possibilities," said Roon, "and this is probably a good job for the Planning Commission. ” The Council voted to have the Planning group gather ideas and suggestions, and appropriated $250 for their expenses to get things going. In an interview with The Sun and News, Roon said he hoped everyone in the community would have some input to the idea of revitalizing the down­ town area. "At this point, nothing is too wild to suggest,” remarked the manager. “There probably should be some sort of theme to how the downtown area should look, with cooperation between the Village and individual property owners and businessmen,” said Roon. Suggestions for the Planning Commission from the community can be directed to the chairman, Dave Tubergen, or the Vice Chairman, Mike Duyser. Other members of the Planning Com­ mission are Max Miner, Rex Schad, Raymond Blough, Marge Loew, Marcia Kidder and Cheryl McWhinney. Chris Wingeier, a TK senior and president of his class, has been chosen to attend the Rotary Youth Leader­ ship Conference in June at Camp Emery near Muskegon. Chris was selected by the Mid­ dleville Rotary Club from a select list of can­ didates from the Senior class. The five day conference of 100 young men from the western half of Michigan brings Chris Wingeier together some of the top potential leaders of tomorrow. Chris, a member of the top ten of his graduating class, is the son of Tony and Helen Wingeier, 8124 Crane Road. He has been active in sports, the all­ school musicals and band during his high school career at TK. He is a member of the National Honor Society and was president of his class during his freshman year. For four years Chris has been a member of 4-H and participates in his church youth group. Cleanup Next Week Next week is official "clean-up" week in Middleville, and Village Manager ‘Kit’ Roon reports that village crews will be picking up trash at the curb on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. He emphasized that no garbage will be £ picked up. So, it’s time to clean out the attic, garage, basement, and spruce up the grounds, | Middleville!

Tennis Coach Larry Seger has been quietly going about his business of building one of the finest tennis programs anywhere at Thornapple Kellogg High School. This past Friday, his boys’ varsity team beat Hamilton and chalked up Seger's 200th win! During this time, his teams have racked up six league championships and have an overall 200-67 won-loss record. Members of the Trojan Tennis teams have placed fourth, fifth and seventh in the State Tournaments over this 15year period. Seger also coaches the girls' tennis team and has had the job for just 10 seasons, but is well on his way to duplicating the boys’ record. Coach Seger, right, stands among some of the trophies his teams have won over the years as he is congratulated by TK Athletic Director, Ray Page.

Locally we collected $5,216.55. This is more than a thousand dollars over our 1983 collection - which also was a record! This money, together with the other solicitations that were collected throughout the State of Michigan by the Knights of Columbus, will be used to help our mentally retarded regardless of race, color, or creed throughout Michigan. God bless you for your continued help, support and generosity. Wayne R.

Because recycled glass and metal melt at a lower temperature, the amount of energy required for the manufacturing process can be reduced by up to 40% for gas. 25% for steel (tin cans) and 95% for aluminum. What to do with our waste is becoming a national problem that can begin to be solved through the efforts of local citizens. The empty ketchup bottle you threw out ten or twenty years ago ’till sits somewhere in some landfill. It is the individual s responsibility to choose whether his/her waste becomes a resource (through recycling) ot goes into the waste stream. Get involved in Recycling Month and commit yourself to recycle at least one type of waste material this month! Household recycling is available to area residents at the following locations: Caledonia Foods parking lot on M-37 (newspapers, glass, metal and plastic milk jugs); behind the Middle Mart Party Store on M-37 in Middleville (glass and metal) and the Hastings site in the fire station parking lot (metal and glass only). To prepare materials, simply wash out glass bottles and jars, remove and discard metal and plastic caps and sort by color at recycling site (clear, brown and green). Wash metal food cans, remove paper labels, open both ends and flatten.

Middleville VFW Euchre Night Every Friday * 7:00 p.m. at VFW Hall • 123 East Main Barry County, the City of Hastings and the Village of Middleville have all proclaimed the month of May “Recycling Month.” Barry County has agreed to display recycling bumper stickers on county vehicles to help promote the concept of recycling throughout the county. The organization Recycling in Barry County appreciates area government’s support. This is an opportunity to learn more about household recycling and how we can each participate. Americans produce approximately 148 million tons of solid waste annually. Barry County produces about 102.7 tons per day. This amounts to about 3*/i pounds a day for each individual. It is estimated that 13.4% of the solid waste now landfilled in Barry County could be removed from the waste stream and recycled. Recycling prevents pollution, extends landfill life, saves disposal costs and preserves natural resources, energy and raw materials. Improper disposal of used crankcase oil creates serious risks of contamination of air, water and soil with hazardous substances such as lead. By recycling used oil, we can conserve fuel and protect the environment. Used recycled steel reduces air pollution during manufacturing by 86%, water pollution by 76% and eliminates 40% of the water normally consumed in the process. Recycled materials are substituted for natural resources during the manufacturing process Strike It Rich? Congratulations! We could hardly be happier. It’s a wonderful thing when hard work and careful planning lead to the mother lode. Now you’re tn a good post non to contemplate Jesus’ great question: ”What good is it if a man gain the whole work! and lose his sour*” We don’t at all care to take yr ar money awav from you. We don’t need it. But we do offer to help you understand how you can use it to lead on to real happiness. Caledonia Christian Reformed Church MORNING - 9:30 im.

In 1969 several persons from Asbury Theological Seminary felt the need to begin an out­ door festival of music, preaching and seminars aimed at reaching youth for Christ. Icthus celebrated its fifteenth birthday this year, which makes it the longest running Jesus festival in the states. This year’s record attendance was nearly 12,000. After planning for several weeks. 18 youth and 8 counselors from Middleville United Methodist chur­ ch traveled nearly 450 miles to Wilmore, KY for Ic­ thus ’84. The festival began on Friday afternoon. April 27, and ended late Saturday evening. The program included contemporary Christian groups such as Resurrection Band. Steve Taylor Band. Phi. Keagy. David Meece and Band. Sheila Walsh, and many others. John Cassis, former major league baseball player, preached and led seminars. Seminars included workshops for youth leaders, and workshops for youth on dating, gossping, wit­ nessing. and others. We re appreciative of the persons who donated food, money, camping supplies, and vehicles, as well as prayers and love. Our gang was challenged, en­ tertained, and able to experience Christian com­ munity over the four days together. Our boys bunked in the dormitory facilities as Asbury College, while the girls camped in the yard of the Ken Bremer family. Thank you to everyone who made our weekend one we’ll not soon forget Rev.

The message was delivered by Rev. Wayne Kiel of Peace Reformed Church. “The sun failed on the First Good Friday,’’ he said. “This was God’s way of saying that this is not ‘business as usual.’ And for us, today, it is not ‘business as usual'. That is why we have gathered here today in this hour of darkness.” Other participants in the. service were Rev. Donald Heydens of Holy Family Catholic Church, Rev. Dick McClain of Leighton United Methodist Church, Ed Passenger of Caledonia United Methodist Church, Loretta Holland and Alice Steeby. The Caledonia area clergy are already planning for next year’s service, knowing that a larger gathering space will be needed.

April 25, the TK JV baseball team traveled to Caledonia and defeated the Scots by a 14-1 margin Going all the way on the mound was Zach Moore who turned in another fine pitching performance by allowing only three hits and one run. The Trojans had a balanced hitting attack with Mau Biermacher going 2 for 5 and 4 RBI's. Mark Tasker getting a single and triple in five at-bats, Jerry Steele going 2 for 2 before being injured in a violent collision at home plate, and Chuck Geiger who cracked a double in his only appearance at the plate. The victory raised the TK record to 3-3 and the league record to 3-0. The victory was costly, however, since Middleville will lose the services of their catcher, Jerry Steele, for at least two weeks. On Friday, April 27, the Trojan JVa entertained Com­ stock Park and came out on the short end of a 13-8 decision The game was played in high winds and was marred by several miscues on both sides. Mark Verlinde pitched three very good innings in the early going, but faltered in the fifth, and Mark Tasker took over. Hitting leaders were Matt Biermacher 2-3, and Mark Tasker 2-3.

There is a map showing the places named (by number) and on their correct roads. A lot of the owners have changed, so the numerical designation will place its exact location. When we Veldermans first moved to Middleville. Mercedes was doing some writing for the paper. This is more of our living local history during the town’s 150th birthday year, and it helps to fill in a little more history from a local resident now living in a nursing home. Pioneer Days on the Prairie by Mercedes French -1950 The region south and west of Middleville was called the Prairie, because it was a natural prairie. To have been able to buy a farm on a natural prairie must have been a great advantage to the early pioneers. It was all ready for the plow. No log bur­ nings were necessary. The log burnings were part of clearing up wooded areas, and huge piles of logs were rolled together and burned. This entailed a great amount of hard work, with never a thought to saving the timber. Timber was not an asset as it is today. The thing to do was to cut it down, roll it up and burn it. The early pioneers were anxious to get a crop in the ground — they had no store to go to when supplies ran low. The Indians were the first farmers on the Prairie, for it was here they came to plant their maize each spring, returning in the fall to harvest it. It was here on the Prairie, also, that a block fort was built for the protection of the early settlers and those traveling through this new country. This blockhouse (1) or fort, was located just south across the road from the Vur Adams house. The location an be traced by the cellar impression in the ground. Some small bits of pottery have been plowed up there. The field just north (2) of the Charlie Baugh­ man house was a favorite cornfield of the Indiana. This was just across the road from the blockhouse. Yankee Springs and Irving townships were set­ tled earlier than this part, due to the fact that Prairie land got into the hands of speculators, who held it for good prices. Came from New York Some of the early people to come to this area were Samuel Clark Kenyon, his brother William, and James Talbot, who came from Rochester, new York, in 1864. They drove to Michigan, taking two weeks for the trip. Just what they drove, history does not say. They were all temporarily located on the present Ralph Kenyon farm (3), purchased the year before by Oliver Sphink Kenyon, father of Samuel Clark. Art and Ralph Kenyon are grandsons of this man. Mrs. Samuel Clark Kenyon and her parents had come by train as far as Galesburg, and three weeks later the men arrived. Mr. Kenyon drove to Galesburg to meet his family. For two years the family lived on the Orrin Leonard farm, later buying land from his father and building the present Ralph Kenyon house where they made their home for many years. William Kenyon apparently did not like it here, for he returned to New York. James Talbot was an uncle of the late Edward Talbot, and he stayed and made his home in this township. the latecomers received, and were grateful for. Mrs. Bassett got so tired of cooking in this public room, her grandsons tell me, that they moved into their log house before it was ready. The first night there they turned over a wagon box to sleep under, as there was no roof on their building as yet. By morning it had stormed and their blankets were covered with sifted snow. A door was not put on for some time, a blanket serving this purpose. Early School Teacher Immigrant from England An early settler on the Prairie was the family of John Cook, who lived where Mrs. Daisy Pender (7) now lives. Mr. Cook came to America from England in 1843 with his mother and brothers and sisters, his father and one brother having preceded him. They had lived in York State, and in 1847 John Cook and his brother George, the only surviving members of their family, came to Michihan. In 1859 John Cook settled on his farm on the Prairie, and in 1865 he married Mrs. Lucinda Mitchell, whose first husband was killed in the Civil War. Mrs. Mitchell had one son, David, who later married and lived where Clarence French now lives (8). The Cooks reared a fine family of five girls and three boys. A big event in the lives of these children was moving into the new house, now occupied by Mrs. Daisy Pender, whose father-in-law purchased it in 1908 from the Cooks. Of this pioneer family, Mrs. Pearl Kenyon, Mrs. Princie Kenyon, Roy Cook and the late Sarah Campbell were sons and daughters. Another brother, Harry, now lives at Athens. Mrs. Pearl Kenyon well remembers the move into the new house, for she was a girl of 10. Nelson Coman went about putting up a house on his property, in the meantime teaching school. He was one of the early school teachers in the county, walking to and from Middleville each day, a distan­ ce of eight miles. Snow was very plentiful in those far-off winters, four feet on the level being the usual amount. A trip to the nearest mill at Battle Creek was a week’s journey, and the wolves, which were plentiful in this section, kept the family company during the nights with their howling during the absence of husband and father. In one instance, Nelson Coman went out to look for his cow, and, failing to find her, found himself so far from the cabin, and night coming on, that he had to spend the night in the First School on Prairie forest. He took refuge in a tree, and there spent an History tells us that in the year 1845 the first uncomfortable night with the wolves for company. One other member of the Coman family who had school on the Prairie was organized. School began in settled in another section of the state went out to 1846 with Caroline Sprague and W. B. Goodspeed as get his cows and never came back. Nothing was ever the first teachers. This school (9) was a log building heard from him. Presumably some wild animal at­ on the southwest corner of Bill Cridler’s farm, and a grove of trees surrounded it. At present there are tacked him. A school district, the Coman, as well as the Coman still a few trees there to mark the spot. This was the Cemetery, was named for Mr. Coman. Direct school that was very close to the corner, and oxcarts descendants of Nelson Coman today are Frank making the turn would give the building just a little Coman, and Mrs. Perry Adgate of Caledonia. The “nudge’’ with the hub of the wheel. Recently in descendants of the Bassetts are George and Jim doing some excavating there, a cornerstone of the Stafford, who still live on the original farm and in old building was uncovered. A new school was under discussion for a long the house that was built to replace the log one im­ time, and where it was to be built was discussed pro mediately after the civil war. Roap TO Mi00C£ VILL£ O' First Settlers on Prairie The very first settlers near the Prairie were the Bassetts and Nelson Coman, who came from York State in 1838. They each took up land from the government just south of Thornapple in Yankee Springs. 1 mention them here because the life of these settlers has always been closely tied in with the Prairie. The Bassetts are the same family for whom Bassett Lake is named, and their land included the forty south of Virgil Adams’ and on to Bassett Lake. The Bassett party of settlers was composed of C. W. Bassett, his wife and children, and Nelson Coman. These people bought their land “sight un­ seen" through a friend in the land office. They found when they arrived that there were two houses in Battle Creek and one between here and Battle Creek. Mrs. Bassett and the children stayed in the blockhouse on the Prairie until their first house, a log one, of course, was built.

Mr. Slagel passed away recently, and his wife 17 years ago. Five of the Slagel children still live in and around Middleville; Tony Slagel of Caledonia, Daisy Pender. Jennie Cisler, Pearl VerMeulen, and Ed Slagel. all of Middleville. The Wilbur Klump (17) farm was at one time the home of the J. C. Bray family. At that time it in­ cluded the Buckingham place on the mile corner, or at least the land to the corner. J C. Bray bought this land in 1855, but did not come to live on it until some time later. The Andrew Finkbeiners, parents of Mrs. Klump, bought it about 1909 from the Bray estate. In 1934, after renting it for a few years, the W’ilbur Klumps purchased it and have since made it their home. While the Andrew Finkbeiners lived there they built the present lovely home. Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Klump have two children, Mabel and BiD.

At last in 1876. a site This race track had a judges’ stand and they really having been chosen, a new building was built. This had some good races. It would be interesting to site was given for “school purposes" across the road know some of the time made on it. Another good horse was one named Plow Boy, from where Bill Cridler now lives (10). This land was given by John S. Johnson from part of his farm. A owned by William Cridler. Another recreation for the Prairie boys was a ball new school was becoming very necessary as they did not seem to be able to keep window lights in the old team. Bill McKevitt was the umpire, and many an one. Some of the students in the old school were Hi exciting game was played on the ball diamond, French, Sarah Campbell, Alice VanEvery and May which was on the Cridler farm also. A. C. Johnson tells me of another trade of his Cook, and many more, perhaps, whose names have been lost. In the yer 1924 the school burned to the father’s, when he traded a yoke of oxen, Duke kand ground and another one was built which served until Dime, to W.H.B. French for a mare named Kate. He did not do so well on that trade, however, for Kate the district was consolidated with Middleville. turned out to be balky. Roads with Square Corners This area was settling up fast, and roads were necessary. There were some who wanted the roads to run straight and turn square corners. In Yankee Springs and some other places, the roads follow In­ dian trails and every curving path. The Prairie set­ tlers wanted none of that, so a meeting was held in the blockhouse on the Prairie to discuss the matter. Settlers from all over the county attended. This idea of roads running true and turning square corners was unheard of. That was interfering with the liber­ ty of the settlers! What did it matter, anyway, which way a road went. But the advocates of the straight roads won out, and the roads on the Prairie are straight and turn straight corners. Of course, the objectors gave the school building a little “nudge’’ as they cut the corner, just by way of protest. Sailed the Great Lakes Indians Thank with Venison W.H.B. French bought the farm where John Fisher (14) now lives, after he returned from the civil war in 1868. He moved here from Leighton Town­ ship where he had bought a farm earlier. During the winter Grandfather French made shingles. The hearth always had a good supply of fresh shingle shavings, and it was not uncommon to have an In­ dian or two come to spend the night near the warm hearth. In the morning they would be gone, but some other morning a haunch of venison would be found hanging on the porch. Thank yous were said in a different way in those far-off days. Mr. French came to Leighton from New York. His wife was Sarah Hooker, daughter of early Leighton settlers. There were nine children bom to this family Azro married Anna Johnson, sister of A. C. John­ son, and Hiram French was the father of Clarence and the namesake of the present Hi French. There were five sons and three daughters in the French family, Will having a barber shop in Mid­ dleville at one time, and later living in Idaho. Fred made his home in Grants Pass, Oregon and operated a laundry there. Azro lived on the old farm and Hiram bought the present Joe Clark farm (15) which was in the family until a few years ago. W.H.B. French was a Civil War veteran also, and at one time he received SI600 in back pension money,and the only safe bank was at Ionia. He started for Ionia, carrying his pension money, being afraid he would not get there before the bank closed. Luck was with him. however, and the money was safely deposited. Hiram French went to the lumber woods in the north and worked each winter, and when he was 22 he went to California to work in the redwoods. Some interesting pictures of that colorful era are still in the family. John S. Johnson, a Prairie pioneer, came to this township and bought a farm in 1872. Mr. Johnson came from England with his parents in 1852, set­ tling for a time in New York State. Here he was married to Celeste Blake, later coming to Michigan and settling on a farm near the present Charles Campbell place (11). Here seven of their 12 children were born, A. C. Johnson being the seventh in the family and a baby of six months when the family bought their home on the Prairie. This farm is now owned by Albert Wieringa. Mr. Johnson when a young man sailed the Great Lakes and was familiarly called “Sailor Jack” because of it. Because of his experience as a sailor, he was in demand as an expert rope splicer. There was much of this to be done on the average farm, and Sailor Jack would always oblige. Like most of these pioneers, he was a member of the 9th Cavalry during the Civil War. In 1879 Mr. and Mrs. Johnsonmoved to town where he lived until his death. Early Pioneer Family During this time he carried the mail on a rural route Another early pioneer family were the Grays, who for 15 years. Mr. Johnson was an active member of the local G.A.R. Post, and usually led the Memorial lived where the Moshiers now live (16). The Grays had one daughter and three sons. Seth. William and Day parade, mounted on a beautiful horse. Elias. Seth was a barber in Caledonia, and married Race Track in Township one of the Kenyon family.

Through track on the corner of the Reg Cridler farm (13), the their efforts there, the railroad was brought to location of which can be found, when plowing, to Merritt. Many people from this area went to Merritt J tianrincr fmm flhrMlt this day. Race horses were plentiful, and anyone having a fast hor e put it on the track Mr. Johnson had an especial fast horse named Prince. He got Another early family, who came here before the Brays bought their land, were the George Mattesons. (18). The Mattesons came from New York State and took up land from the government just over the Thornapple township line in Section 3, Yankee Springs. This land is still in the family, whose grandchildren are Ruth Matteson Schad and Fred Matteson. There were plenty of Indians when the Mattesons were pioneering here, and Mrs. Mat­ teson used to say that the Indians could smell bread baking for a mile. They always stopped and asked for some, and sometimes they took all of the baking. There was a large Indian campground on the Thor­ napple River, and a large settlement at Bradley. Much traveling was done by the Indians between the two places. The George Mattesons had five boys: George, Fred, Oliver, Verne and Will. Freddie died when he was a boy. and George, the eldest, is now the only survivor. He makes his home with a daughter at Sparta, and will be 94 on his next birthday. Oliver, more familiarly known as Ol, was the father of Ruth Schad and F red Matteson. A Civil War Veteran The present residents of the William Cridlers (19) was purchased from the Garrett family in 1925. This farm was settled in 1868 by F. W. Collins, who was a member of the state Legislature in 1873-74. Mr. Collins continued to reside here until he sold out in 1883 to Ebenezer Garrett, who with his wife and four children moved here from Jamestown, Ottawa County. Mr. Garret had come to Michigan when he was 19 years old, and had hewed himself a home out of the wilderness in Jamestown. He was a Civil War veteran, being wounded in the hip in one battle. His children were all bom in Jamestown, in the log cabin that preceded the large brick house he left when he came to Thomapple. Young men were far sighted in those days, for when Eb Garrett was a young man he planned some day to build a large house for his family. Plans were made for a curving stair rail. A cherry sapling was twisted in just the right way so that when the time came to put in a stair handrail, a cherry piece of the right size would be at hand. Mrs. Garrett was the former Mary Tuttle of York State. Their children were Tuttle, who married and lived where Ward Bender (20) now lives (that was part of that farm then), Myrtle, who was Mrs. Elisha Loew of Grand Rapids; May, who married Hiram French, and Robert. None survives at this time. Following the death of both Mr. and Mrs. Garrett, Robert sold the place to the Cridlers in 1925, and it is here that Mr. and Mrs. William Cridler and their three children reside. Mrs. Cridler is the former Blanche Smith of Mulliken. Cridlers Came in 1870 William Cridler came from York State to Michigan in 1870. He had previously bought land in section 6, Rutland Township, and it was here that he made his home. In 1872 he won the hand of Cecilia Wilcox, who with her son, George, came to Rutland to live. To this union, one son, Arthur, was bom. In the year 1881, the William Cridlers came to live in section 21(13), Thornapple Township, selling the Rutland farm. Arthur Cridler grew up on the farm with his parents, teaching school in several of the county schools. In 1900 he married Lottie Brown of Canada, a sister of Mrs Charles Harper Three sons were boro to the Arthur Cridlers, Paul, who passed away in 1934, William, before mentioned and Reginald, who with his wife, the former Virginia Smith of Grand Rapids, reside on the home place The Reg Cridlers have four children R G Tudv their present home (2) in 1910.

This nation's utilities are not building anything approaching that now. ” completion of all plants now under construction, including both Midland units.

PHONE 795-3345 Well treat you to FULL SERVICE CONSUMERS POWER CAPACITY VS NEED Donald P. Hodel U.S. Secretary of Energy HIE FUTURE IS WHAT OUR SOCIETY MAKES IT. American technology is poised for a new leap forward. Michigan industry,, shocked by recession and foreign competi­ tion, is committed to moderni­ zation. Michigan’s people will not accept less than full opportunity' for themselves and their children. That means economic growth in Michigan. And economic growth demands an increased supply of electric energy. What is the outlook for that supply? NATIONWIDE: The U.S. will need almost twice our current electric generating capacity by the end of this century. That’s an addition of almost 400.000 megawatts of electric generation, hut utilities nationwide currently have less than 200,000 megawatts of new capacity under construction or planned. Small wonder, then, that \irtually every forecaster, including the Department of Energy, anticipates serious U.S. electric shortages between now and the turn of the century. THE MIDWEST: Present forecasts for our region anticipate a 30 percent growth in electric demand over the next ten years, but only a 16 percent growth in generating capacity'. That assumes the Don Berry Income Tax Service The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I May 3,1984 / Pg. 11 MICHIGAN: During 1983, our state’s economy began to rebound. That, of course, is good news. But, to put it bluntly, our present electric system cannot accommodate continued growth. Without the added generation now under construction, even the modest annual demand growth we fore­ see will completely outstrip our generating capacity before 1990. That will not only raise the spectre of brownouts and blackouts; it will effectively prohibit economic growth. It doesn’t have to be that way, however. Consumers Power Company has planned for the future, has invested in the future, is building for the future—not only to meet the minimum needs of Michigan's industry’ and people, but also to accommodate the determination of Michigan's industry and people to grow and prosper.

When the long lost sun finally reappears and it’s possible to set foot outside without six layers of clothes, spring can’t be far away.

W £?un anti Tragedy Strikes Here In 1966 It was a tragic day 18 years ago this month for residents of Mid­ dleville when they realized that a little girl had drowned in the Thornapple River. As this reproduction of the front page of The Sun and News tells us, 4'/» year old Suzanne Assfy was found after a day and night-long search in and around the river. Never has the com­ munity been more united in an effort to locate the little girl, as those of us remember who lived here at that time. The Assfy family moved from Mid­ dleville soon after the tragic accident and operated a bakery in wayland for a time. We now understand Zaid is a Moslem priest in California. UeaJzly MiddlazHlla and CaUdaniOf MicJuyan THURSDAY MORNING. MAY 12, 1966, MIDDLEVILLE. MICHIGAN NUMBER 19 Community Mourns Death of Suzanne SUZANNE LOUISE ASSFY Suzanne Louise Assfy, 4 1/2 year old daughter of Mr. and Mb. Zaid Assfy, drown in the Thornapple River in Middleville Thurs­ day afternoon. Her body was recovered by Sure Police divers early Friday morning. It was believed by authorities that little Suzanne wandered down to the river, and probably lost her footinc near the high embank­ ment somewhere near the bridge and tumbled from there into the swift moving water. Her body was recovered on the bottom of the river near the east retaining wall of the Main street bridge. The Assfys, who operate the Middleville Bakery, became alarmed in the early afternoon when little Suzanne could not be found. Her father, Zaid, made an extensive search himself of the streets, business places and even the school areas prior to notify­ ing the Barry County Sheriff’s department at about three o’clocx. upon arrival of the Sheriff’s department, an extensive search of the area began. The Middleville Volunteer Firemen, Boy Scouts, Sea Scouts and other interested people soon covered the river from above Middleville to Duncan Creek, where the Assfy home is located. An airplane was called in and air search was conducted. State Police tracking dogs arrived on the scene in an attempt to locate the little girl. As darkness came, authorities continued tlieir search, and plans were made to dive into the river the next morn­ ing. Early Friday morning State Police diveB began donning their gear to search the river underwater. Three troopers went into the water and in about 20 minutes announcement was made that they had located the body. Funeral services for Suzanne were conducted from the Beeler Funeral Home on Monday, with Imam Mohamad Jawad Chlrri conducting the Moslemic rites. Burial was made in the Mt. Hope Cemetery, Middleville. Surviving, besides her parents, are: a sister, Nadia; maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Louis Siereveld of Grand Ra­ pids and fraternal grandmother, Mrs. Zaneb Assfy of Lebanon; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. A Search For a Little Girl That Ended in Sorrow Three State Police divers spent about twenty minutes in the Thornapple River Friday morning before locating the little girl.

Over 130 friends, relatives and government officials honored Ernie on his special day and presented him with a set of golf clubs. Also presented was a Commendation from the State of Michigan signed by Gov. Blanchard for Er­ nie's dedicated service to his community for 24 years. A special highlight of the evening was the reading of the poem below, written by a long time friend, Marge Williams. Honor Ernie Ball at Dinner To Ernie — by Marge Williams - May 4. 1984 We’ve come to honor Ernie — A fellow that we know Who's always done his utmost To help our Village Gcpw! Ambition he is filled with The evidence is there. Things entrusuxi him to manage Were served with love and care. The early morning hours Would find his pipe aglow — And off to check a water pump To make "all systems GO!” Whether sewer, street or water Was the order of the day — His men knew he meant action As he sent them on their way. It 's sure that we’ll miss Ernie Cause he was always there. Though you might not always see him You could maybe hear him swear! But that swear is just a gesture Handed down through all these years Like a bandage from a tender heart That solved many widow’s tears. He'd find some "good solution” If her water bill was high Perhaps he d offer scge advice On plumbing she must buy. A family man — good father With a wife that always shares The good times and the bad ones One that surely, truly cares. So. Ernie, we salute you And in our feeble way — We want to just say “THANK YOU!” We re glad you "cameour way!” The Caledonia Independence Day Celebration is set this year for Saturday, June 30, in the Caledonia Lakeside Park. The day’ activities will begin with a noon parade through the village streets The Caledonia Jaycees, sponsors and celebration organizers, say the event will be greatly expanded over what has been customary in the past several years. Work has been underway for quite some tme already. To date, commitments to participate in the day long event are running far ahead of any other year. Already there are some 35 arts and crafts booths committed, with a total of 50 a real possibility. A talent stage is also in the works, with several hours of entertainment already lined up. Also planned this year are little league baseball games, clown shows, a tractor pull, children’s rides, a dunk-tank, food booths, a greatly expanded fireworks display, helicopter rides, and much more. Calls have been made to many area individuals, groups and organizations asking for participants in this year’s celebration. If you or your group would like to get involved in some way and have not yet been contacted, please call, as the Jaycees say their aim is to involve as much of the community as possible. Anyone wishing to participate in the noon parade should contact Dr. Douglas Atkinson (891-9245), and those wishing to participate in the activities in the park should call Jerry or Theresa Durkee (4556897). Also, any person wanting to enter their mini­ modified or antique tractor in the tractor pull should call Wes Schaffer at 868-6054. Remember, Saturday, June 30, is the date for fun and friendship with your neighbors at the Caledonia Independence Day Celebration. Boosters Outline TK School Aid The TK Boosters meetings will soon be coming to a close for the summer months. We will be working on projects right through the summer. The Boosters can always use help and appreciate a “yes” when you are called for help. You have all been great when we needed you. The phrase "Many hands make light work still stands true. A big thank you to you all. If you would like to attend our meetings, we are at the Middle School library at 7:30 p.m. on the second Monday of every month. We would welcome you with open arms. We need you. We’ve heard it said so many times that we are athletic boosters. We are not. We are all-school boosters. We serve every school in the TK system equally. Many of our requests are not sports at all.

Blattner God was struck with a whim and decided to create a child. He took some gentleness and love from Mother, mixed it with blonde hair and blue eyes from Daddy, molded it into a tiny person, and gave back to them to grow. Daddy taught me self-reliance and honor. Mother taught me loyalty and perseverance. As I grew, my father was my hero and was sometimes over­ whelmed by my love and devotion. Others made unforgettable impressions on my life. My teachers. When my young heart ached, Miss Hendrickson tried to tell me that ‘some people are late bloomers' and that love would find me after alL When life was too harsh, Mr. Thatcher showed me how to laugh at life, to not accept it at face value, to accept its humanness. But all along, it was Mother who was my strength. My teachers helped to train my talent for writing. Mother always encouraged me to follow my talent, to never neglect it. It took me so long to hear what she was really saying: “I believe in you. ” Sometimes, Daddy got too busy, and when I reached out to touch, to grasp support and nur­ turing, Mother was the only soul I could find. She taught me compassion and faith. She let me dream. She tried to show me the way out of the poverty of spirit. She urged me to reach out for life's prizes, life's magic, in spite of the discouragement that was a mirror of her own. I've settled for things other than the prizes I sought, but Mother waited faithfully until the bit­ terness subsided. She's there, like always, to say, “The dreams you had are still possible, if you want them. Don't give up on life's magic. ” She seems to shine to hear me speak of my writing, or my plans for college, to know that, once again, I believe in me. I still want to be a teacher. I once wanted it because I didn 't believe I'd ever have children of my own. Now I want to be a teacher so that when my own children are grown, the nurturing, the sharing will never end And I still want to be an author. Being a writer, that's just there, like something God added an extra portion of when he mixed the ingredients way back then. But being an author, that takes work. It takes all the training my teachers gave me and the en­ couragement Mother gave me. It takes developing, and researching, and selling. And I'll do it, too. Some day people will be reading my words and hearing my message. And my mother will be able to smile and say, “I always knew she could do it I believe in her. ” (Mrs. Blattner, a resident of Grand Rapids, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norm Jahnke, Middleville) LETTERS Comments from our readers are welcome to be ex­ pressed in this column.

In this area, 58,500 customers, including 33,500 in the Battle Creek District and 25,000 in the Kalamazoo District, were affected. Statewide ap­ proximately 270.000 customers were w-ithout power at one time or another. During the storm there repeated instances of customers having power restored only to lose it again as the storm continued. All told, the number of outages reached more than 370,000, 1 want to express my thanks to the customers for their cooperation and patience as our employees worked tirelessly to restore service. The widespread nature of the damage from wind and falling trees and branches made service restoration efforts more difficult in some respects than in previous major storms. I am proud of the way the men and women of the Battle Creek district reponded to the emergency. They showed me once again how devoted they are to maintaining service to our customers. All of us are pleased the restoration work was performed safely, a real achievement under the difficult circumstances our employees encountered.

Thia concept has already generated a con­ siderable amount of controversy, and is certain to be hotly debated on the floor of the House and in the Senate. Originally the bill was written specifically to cover only the Wayne County jail in Detroit. It seemed to me that if double bunking was OK for Detroit, then it should also be OK for some of the rest of us in outstate Michigan, so we were suc­ cessful in establishing some minimum requirements such as cell size, etc., and permitting that same criteria to apply in any county jail in the state. The practice of two to a cell in county jails is currently prohibited by the Michigan Department of Corrections. Legislative Immunity Reform - Finally! In 1982, Michigan voters approved Proposal A which allowed the Legislature to amend the State Constitution to change "existing constitutional exemptions for legislators from civil arrest and CAPITOL COLUMN process during legislative sessions. The Legislature has finally adopted the changes mandated by the voters so that they are no longer immun e from subpoenas or from civil lawsuits in­ volving contracts or other non-legislative matters, unless they are actually in legislative session or in committee meetings. Lawmakers will no longer be able to avoid traffic or parking tickets by claiming immunity. Papers can be served to them and they can be subpoened at any time when they are not in actual session, or in committee, performing legitimate legislative business. The problem has been that state lawmakers could only be served papers or sub­ poenas on a handful of days in early January, after the Legislature has adjourned for the year and before it reconvenes for the new year. The changes in the immunity law are fair and just. Lawmakers will still be insulated from legal action during the legislative day, or while in performance of their legislative duty. Constituent letters, tapes and other communications will be exempt from the new subpoena powers, preserving the trust between legislator and constituent. i, 31st District State Senator State Seeks Land For Recreational Use You say you have some land for sale? Well, the State of Michigan just might be interested — ejpecially if it is located near an urban area, has fishing and hunting possibilities or accesses any of Michigan's lakes, streams and Great Lakes. Under provisions of the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund which was passed in 1976. the state has purchased land for recreational purposes. So far, the fund has spent nearly $50 million for such land — ranging in size from single lots along the Great Lakes to 1,000 acre plots along the Manistee and Au Sable Rivers. This year the Land Trust Fund Board has again started its annual search for recreational land which may qualify for purchase with funds from the sale of oil, gas and mineral leases and royalties on stateowned lands. The board has almost $11 million available to buy land over the next year. If you have land that you think meets the requirements and are interested in selling to the state, nomination forms must be submitted by June 1 to the Office of Budget and Federal Aid, Depar­ tment of Natural Resources, Box 30028, Lansing, MI 48909. Further inquiries should also be directed to the same address. This program is one which I wholeheartedly sup­ port. It provides an ongoing means for the state to protect valuable environmental lands while also providing additional recreation areas for the people of Michigan to spend their leisure time. However, since its inception, the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund has been subjected to ‘raids’’ by the Legislature as a means of finding additional monies for other purposes. Had it not been raided, the fund would have now reached its $150 million cap. To prevent such "raids" from recurring, legislation has been introduced that would place before the voters in November, a constitutional amendment creating a new Recreational Land Trust Fund. It would be patterned closely after the Kam­ mer Recreational Land Trust Fund but would make it unconstitutional to tamper with the fund or borrow from it for other purposes. I will support the measure in the Legislature and, if successful, work for its passage in November, because I believe this is a worthwhile proposal. The House Labor Committee has approved a scaled down Michigan Youth Corps program that will provide summer jobs for about 15,000 young men and women at a cost of approximately $18 millinn. State Representative Paul Hillegonds, chief co­ sponsor of the measure, said any unemployed 18 to 21 year old would be eligible for the program. Those who live in households where the primary wage ear­ ner is unemployed will receive hiring priority. ‘‘This was a successful program last year that put more than 28,000 youths to work on temporary jobs in every part of the state,” Hillegonds said. "This year’s Youth Corps is smaller because of a no­ growth state budget and the existence of other job programs. But it will still be an opportunity for thousands of young people who otherwise might not have jobs this summer because the unemployment rate for teenagers in Michigan is 27.1 percent. "Last summer I spoke with many of the spon­ soring agencies that had hired Youth Corps workers in Allegan County. They said the program gave them flexibility to hire the people they wanted and to fire those who weren’t doing the job. So kids un­ derstood what is required in a real job — the program was not just a make-work scheme." Hillegonds said that applications for jobs would be made through local ME SC offices to assure a fair and impartial process. Program participants will perform a wide variety of tasks from cleaning parks to working with the elderly. "Last year 300 Allegan County teenagers had Youth Corps jobs," Hillegonds said, "which is slightly more than one percent of the total jobs available through the program. This summer, because the Youth Corps will be smaller, I would guess we’ll have about 120 to 150 positions through the program. ” Hillegonds explained that the goal of Youth Corps jobs is to provide work experience and the possibility of unsubsidized employment at the end of the program.

Consumers Power Company crews scrambled to repair millions of dollars worth of equipment and downed elec­ tric lines which left more than a third of a million customers without power. It has been a trying time for both our customers and our crews. And we appreciate your patience and understanding. Company crewmen are especially grateful for your cooperation. Workers have been repairing lines around the clock and frankly, the widespread damages were more than our workers could handle. Additional crews had to be imported from Ohio to aid in the restoration. Without your kind understanding, our work would have been much more difficult. We regret the inconvenience that any outage causes and will con­ tinue to work — as we have for nearly a century — to build a better, more reliable electric system. Building that system requires that the company have in place well-trained workers and well-planned procedures to deal with emergency situations. But it also re­ quires the company to plan today for the needs of our customers into the ’90s and the next century. Maybe that’s something you take for granted — but we don’t really mind. In fact, we take pride in it. Because a good, reliable electric system should be taken for granted. toured Andrew Jackson's home, the Heritage.

Hudsonville and Wyoming Lee. A young Trojan pitching staff has been plagued by walks and lack of defensive support. Last week was no exception as they allowed 50 walks and 26 errors were committed by Trojan fielders. These promising throwers are a group of hard throwing, hard working athletes who will do whatever needs to be done to become successful. Strong offensive performances were turned in by Terrill Courtney, Kate Hunt and Darcy Wingeier. Shortstop Terrill Courtney continued to hit the ball solid as she collected four singles and a double.

He was killed and I was badly injured. The old homestead where Guy and I lived was declared a Centennial Farm. When we were first married and raising our children, we also went to Middleville on “town” night to shop at Abe Gardners and John VanderVeen's Grocery store. They had drawings on the street. It was a fun time, no television or radio. We had our first radio in 1928. In those days they had a band wagon in front of the hotel and played on cer­ tain nights and we all came into town. Clyde Skin­ ner, our neighbor, as well as Earl Robinson, played in the band. I read in the Sun and News about Frank Travis. He played at the Grange Hall for the dances, as did Ed Schaff.

On reading the paper they found the Mc­ Nee name, so wrote to the Banner, telling the cir­ cumstances, and they sent Guy’s address. Correspondence began and we found out our dads were brothers.

If you’re interested in something different — something which has rustic charm and a sense of adventure, attend Historic Charlton Park Village and Museum s Wine Walk on Saturday. May 19, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. In an open-air museum similar to Greenfield Village, but smaller, and right here in southwestern Michigan, is Western Michigan's Best Kept Secret. Historic Charlton Park Village and Museum is a 16-structure rural village, located on the banks of the Thornapple River, 6 miles east of Hastings. During the Wine Walk, the buildings will be staffed and the craft shops will be operating, as history comes to life. Looking like a Currier and Ives print brought to life, the village is set in the year 1900 and interprets life 1850-1900. The Wine Walk provides a sneak preview of the programs which will be offered throughout the summer. But for a $5.00 donation, admission to the village is provided and one can see the village dif­ ferently than the average visitor does. The ad­ mission fee includes wine, temperate drinks, cheese and crackers, and home-made desserts. You can stroll through the village, stopping in the buildings to have food or to get your wine glass refreshened. According to Park Director John Patterson, “This event is a fund-raiser for us, to help raise operating funds. But it also provides a pleasant manner for viewing the village and seeing the programs we will be offering this summer. These programs will be dif­ ferent from most history museum programs because they are designed to permit the visiting public to ac­ tually take part in a historical experience. You can try processes such as spinning, weaving, quilting, woodworking, or actually attend a one-room school for a few minutes. By doing this and allowing people to use the senses of touch, smell and sometimes taste (senses usually ignored by museums) learning about our past becomes a lot more fun and stays with the person longer.’’ Tickets are available at the door. For more infor­ mation call 945-3775 or write Historic Charlton Park Village and Museum, 2545 S. Charlton Park Road, Hastings, 49058. BOOSTERS Continued from Page One as a request of the Drama Club.

In making his recommendation to the Board of Education to seek the renewal. Superintendent Gerald Page indicated that some of those cuts made several years ago have never been restored. “We have never put back all of the music, art or remedial reading programs." said Page. He also noted that the bus fleet is old, with the last new bus purchased in 1980. It was also pointed out that the number of school administrators TK now has is just half of the number employed in 1975. “Does the district need the renewal?' asks the superintendent. “Yes, just to stay where it is without even trying to reach the level it was at in 1980," observes Page. The superintendent also stated: "The TK District has achieved some gains since it reached the depths. We have been able to reinstate the six hour school day; we have started a computer program, and we do have a school-sponsored athletic and activity program." The 2.5 mills will raise about $300,000 or 6% of the total budget, reports Page. "The Board and ad­ ministration feels that they have been very careful with the funds allocated. No one likes taxes, but there is no better place to spend money than on the future of our area, state and nation. Yes," concludes the superintendent, “TK does need the millage renewal." The proposed change in the TK school day. recommended by the Curriculum Council, has stirred some residents of the district to oppose sta­ ting school a half hour earlier. Mr. and Mrs. Linden Steeby, 83 141st St., have been actively seeking information to refute the Council's claim that starting school at 8 a.m. would better "dovetail” TK’s program with the Kent In­ termediate District and other schools in the athletic league In calling other school districts, the Steebys found that most of the OK Blue High Schools do start school at 8 a.m. (or earlier). However, their elementary schools all begin at 8:30 a m. or later. These schools either split their bus runs or have shortened the instructional day for the elementary schools. Another reason for beginning the day a half hour earlier, cited by the Council, was that the par­ ticipation of TK students in the Kent Intermediate Skill Centers and Special Education programs would work better. According to the Steebys, only 78 TK students were involved this semester in the KISD programs. (There are 1,879 TK students enrolled in the system) The Steebys also found that a total of 39 students from the TK district attend schools in the Grand Rapids area for some form of Special Education. They claim none of these students ride any of the regular buses used to bus students to the TK schools. The Steebys expressed the concern that “each school district is as individual as each person, and this must be considered when changing times. We should consider the total number of students bused, the number of students walking at earlier times, the length of the various bus routes, the size and shape of the school district, and the kind and condition of the roads the buses must use.” Superintendent Gerald Page stated to The Sun and News that the Board of Education welcomes citizen input on whether the school day should be changed. “We want this to be given a thorough community discussion so that the best decision is made, " he said. Petitions are currently being circulated in the district to encourage the Board to reject the changing of the school day. Wins Computer at Bank WHEN ART BURGHDOFF, 1501 N.

Ml I May 24,1984 Cite Caledonia Adult Ed Teacher Carol Wesenberg, a teacher in the Caledonia Adult Education program, was recently cited by the Michigan Association of Community/Adult Educa­ tion as one of four out­ standing teachers in Michigan for 1984. Last year, Mrs. Wesenberg was recognized as Caledonia's adult ed Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Wesenberg has WESENBERG eight years experience teaching in the adult education program. She interrupted her college career to marry and raise two children. When they were well on their way in their own school career, she resumed her own education. She graduated from Grand Valley State College in 1975 and is presently enrolled in a post graduate program. Robert Evans, Caledonia Community School Director, stated that “Mrs. Wesenberg blends many qualities of the master teacher to obtain such a high degree of results. This success starts with her basic knowledge of how people learn. This base is much like the trunk of a tree with her outstanding qualities extending in the same manner as the bran­ ches. And as the tree does, she fulfills many needs. While she does teach a group of about 30 senior citizens by employing a variety of group processes, her main forte - with which she has gained so much success - is the individualized approach. Her reper­ toire includes approximately 18 different subjects. "Carol's Learning Center - where she features the individualized approach to teaching - began with a group of about 6 students four years ago. It now numbers six classes with about 8 students in each and it continues to grow. Carol teaches about 21 hours a week, but when you add in her preparation time, it totals 40 hours. This is an important key to her success. She has prepared a semesters worth of lessons for each of the 18 subjects she can teach. Not only has she taken the time to accomplish this monumental task, but she weekly reviews each student's progress and writes weekly individualized learning plans for her students. Thus another im­ portant key to her success. This knowledge of and individual attention given to ea ch student manifests several interesting and important phenomena in the teacher-student relationship.’’ THOMS CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 was a two year member of the National Honor Society. He is a National Merit Scholarship Finalist and served as a class officer all fouryears of his high school career. Dale plans to attend the Honors College of the University of Michigan, majoring in computer science. Each high school principal from around the state was asked by the Detroit Free Press to nominate one student for the All State Academic Team. Nominees were chosen for a combination of test scores and grade point average, which were backed up by extracurricular and community activities. All nominations went to a committee of principals selected by the Michigan Association of Secondary School principals, representing all sizes of schools in all areas of the state. Thornapple Kellogg's principal. Henry J. Dugan, is extremely pleased with the news of Dale’s selec­ tion. "It is extremely rare to have students selected two years in a row. It also speaks highly of our system her in Middleville. We are all very proud of Dale and of last year’s recipient, Jim Verlinde. ’’ /".......... ..................................................................... > TheSun and News FuMcmot <*> usrs MTIW 124 E.

It started upon entering in their freshman year when all freshman sports were cancelled. Next year they were faced with more cuts in funds and in the classroom hours, from six to five. (If it weren’t for our great Boosters, they would have not had sports that year at all). Junior year it was back to six hours and scrambling to get the classes they weren’t able to get the previous year so as to have enough to graduate. Now, it is their senior year and they have been told repeatedly that if this fine isn’t paid, book returned to bookstore, combination locks returned, class dues not brought up-to-date, etc., they would not graduate. Then changed to participating in graduation exercises, after some parents said this was not how it would be handled, and the students also let it be known that was not how it would be and was not a law. The criteria for graduation from high school is having enough credits and passing in all classes, not the above mentioned. Next, a few students decided that they would have "skip day " even though the class was told by administrators that they could not and would, again, not graduate, if they did try it. Again, scare tactics were used with the class as a whole and then only one person from the "skippers" used as an example. The last straw seems to be this issue over the monies that the Class of 1984 has left over. As a parent of one graduating senior, who has been in school every day and only gone for appointments, I decided to let this class know that I am behind them 100%. It is a sad affair when administrators, faculty, board members, etc., start using scare tactics to make a class do it our way, because it is the law. Monies that were earned by them should be spent the way the class feels and not by the above men­ tioned. If the class is being reasonable and not foolish with this spending, who should cause the ad­ versity. And this class is a very intelligent and also a good one. The majority are college bound studen­ ts, active in extracurricular activities, devoted to and attend local churches, and will not be preyed upon by ones they have been taught to respect. Class of 1984, please do not stoop to the level of your administrators, faculty, etc., and use this money wisely if you are still told that you cannot use it for yourselves. Do not become vindictive like they are. Use your intelligence as you have all these years and make your parents and yourselves proud. As an alumni of TK, our class did not leave their reserve all to the school. A desk (for each) was pur­ chased for our class advisors (whom we did not have to pay to be our counselors and advisors like it seems has happened in the years since), some was used for our graduation, and the rest we received in a rebate. When I was in school, the money was ear­ ned by selling or working concessions to use for our Junior-senior prom, and for our Senior Trip. As the seniors now do not have the advantage or privilege of that marvelous time together visiting an historical place like Washington, why can’t this money in question be put in a bank account and used for the years to come for class reunions?

Did not want a speaker, but told they had to. I am still glad to see that Baccalaureate is still honored at our school, as some schools do not have that as part of graduation week. Parents, let your child know that you are behind them and continue to communicate with them and let our school system know that you will not be sub­ ject to these scare tactics or preying on their minds and leaving them vulnerable. This is the time of their lives and should not be subject to all of this adversity. We should be proud of the fine leadership in this class and their classmates should also be glad that they are trying to be "well-mannered" people and show respect for their elders. But it is a very trying situation. Best wishes, good fortune in your future, much success and God bless each of you in the Class of 1984 as you graduate on June 3 and become and alumni of TKHS. A time that should be very enlightening one now seems to be clouded by all of this. Karen J.

The following is an update on this project including Barry County’s involvlement. The Michigan Used Oil Recycling Project has grown to include 62 of Michigan's 83 counties with collection sites established statewide. Some of the collection site owners in large metropolitan areas such as Meijer s Thrifty Acres in Grand Rapids are making thousands of dollars a year selling the used oil they have collected. The haulers that purchase this oil sell it to reprocessing facilities who sell their finished product as fuel extenders or industial cut­ ting fluids. In all there is some 320 million available in newly found materials and markets for Michigan businesses. The ultimate goal of the used oil recycling project is to collect over 1 million gallons of oil this year and become a prime target for operation of an oil re-refining plant located in lower Michigan. Barry County has participated in this program for three years with a total of 13 collection sites in Hastings, Middleville, Delton, Freeport, Nashville land Woodland. Of the 42,620 gallons of used crank­ case oil available for collection from do-it-yourself oil changers, approximately 1240 gallons, or about 3% — four times as much as last year — was collec­ ted in 1983. We hope to increase this amount through public education over the next year. Nearly 15 million gallons of used oil are dumped into Michigan’s lakes and streams each year. Im­ proper disposal of used oil creates serious risks of contamination of air, water or soil with substances such as lead, which are hazardous (poisonous) to human, animal and plant life. It also represents a huge waste of a valuable resource. Burning untreated used oil results in air pollution containing lead and other heavy metals. Dumping it down sewers, into streams or on land can con­ taminate surface and ground water supplies and render the soil unproductive. Barry County has an abundance of fresh water streams and lakes, rich farmland and bountiful plant and animal life. Let’s protect our environment and recycle our used oil. The following is a list of the used oil collection sites in Caledonia and Middleville. Used oil may be brought to any of them in reusable containers such as plastic milk jugs.

Veferen Missionaries to Speak at Leighton Chipped Ham Dale and Polly McClain, veteran missionaries with OMS International, will be the featured speakers at the Leighton United Methodist Church on Sunday, May 27. The McClains have just retur ned from Hong Kong, where they ministered from 1957 to 1965, and again since the spring of 1983. The McClains first joined OMS International in 1947. Since that time their service has included assignments in China, India, Hong Kong. Indonesia and the United States. They were chosen on several occasions to pioneer new ventures. Under Rev. Mc­ Clain s leadership in Hong Kong, a new medical clinic, Christian education unit, and evangelistic center were built in the heart of a refugee reset­ tlement area. In 1965. the McClains were brought io the U.S. to develop a Department of Career Guidan­ ce for OMS. Later. Rev. and Mrs. McClain coor­ dinated the entry of OMS to Indonesia. In their most recent assignment, the McClains worked in the department of development with OMS. Since last spring, they have served once more in Hong Kong, where Dale is the interim Field Director. The McClains bring both a thrilling and sobering report on the church inside the People's Republic of China, as well as a first-hand perspective on the question that many are asking, “What happens to Hong Kong in 1997 when China regains sovereignty of the colony?” Rev. Dale McClain will preach at the 10:00 a m. service, and he and Polly will share during the 7:00 p.m. service. They are the parents of the pastor of the Leighton church. Rev. Dick McClain. The organization they represent, OMS International, formerly the Oriental Missionary Society, is an un­ denominational faith mission work encircling the globe. It specializes in evangelism, training national leadership, and planting churches. Roast Beef $349h Chipped Turkey For New York Strips «3”lb GEUKES I |v|Q|KwTJ.

City Mayor Woodrow Southfield, along with City Manager Ila Smith and six other Litchfield of­ ficials had a busv dav visitina local industries, the high school and village facilities. Lunch was held at the Middle Villa Inn, and a dinner was given in the evening at the Yankee Springs Golf Clubhouse.

The Barry County Red Cross has scheduled a blood drive on Monday, June 4, from noon until 5:45 p.m. at the VFW Hall in Middleville. Middleville blood drive chairpersons, Ann Bartlett and Cathy Williamson, need the community ’s help in order to achieve their goal of sixty (60) pints. This blood drive is the first of the summer drives scheduled for Barry County. There is a greater demand for blood during the active summer months. This can only be met through the generosity of volunteers, which includes both donors and blood drive workers. Local residents have been willingly giving of their time in order to meet past goals • your help is needed again. �Michelle Hurst Receives Rotary Scholarship Pg. 2 ITteSvnandltewt, MilkMh.

This was the first Mayor Exchange Day in which I actively par­ ticipated, but one in which I will always remember the help and thoughtfulness of the citizens of Mid­ dleville. People like Bernie Blough, who worked on short notice and made beautiful oak picture frames for the Heritage Association prints in time for the special day. Then donated them to the village. People like all the school children and teachers who made pictures to brighten the front window of the Village Hall. They made nut cups, place mats and napkin holders, and then came down to the Village Hall on the morning of Mayor Exchang Day with a banner to help officially welcome the dignitaries from the City of Litchfield. People like Bill Gavin and his staff who cleaned and polished four cars, then donated them for our use that day so that we might be able to show off our village with a little more ease and comfort. All the people who so skillfully and professionally conducted tours of Bradford White Corporation, Middleville Manufacturing, Thornapple Kellogg High School, Baby Bliss. Lincoln Meadow and the Thornapple Township - Middleville Fire Depar­ tment.

Jennie Davis gave this report for the first time at the 1940 Moe School picnic. She gave it the second time at a meeting of the Historical Society at the Moe School in 1973. This write-up is a combination of the two reports. Norma V. This year, 1940, makes the 84th year since John and Mary Hupton Moe and their young son came to Thomapple Township and bought 120 acres on Moe and Parmalee Roads. They were both from Cayuga County, New York, where they were married in 1842. In 1844 they moved to Michigan and in 1856 purchased this farm in Thornapple Township. Mr. Moe leased to the settlers one-half acre of land for school purposes for fifty years. The land was cleared, and what is known as the Moe School District began in 1865. The school has stood as it was originally built for the past 80 years except for the addition of an entry, which was added on in the last few years before the district consolidated with Thornapple Kellogg Schools. When the lease expired, the district bought the land for $100 from Worthington Moe, son of John Moe. About 12-15 years later, the district, seeing the need for a larger playground, bought from Wor­ thington Moe another half acre. This was the only rural school district in the township that owned their school land. The following history is to bring to your mind the conditions as they were then. In the early days of the pioneers, when Michigan was young, families came west to Michigan to buy up land from either speculators or the government. The land was mostly covered with heavy timber. There were very few white settlers in this area, no roads, just Indian trails. Many friendly Indians lived along the Thornapple River They made baskets and traded them to the settlers for whatever they could get. When the Moe s came to the wilderness to make a new home, they blazed or marked trees leading to the Village of Middleville, so they could find their way home. They traveled by ox team and on foot. Trees must be cut and burned to clear the land for homes and raising food. There was very little money to be had, and what good was money when there were no stores or town for miles. Trade was carried on mostly by exchange of produce. There were other settlers here, and soon more followed. To name a few that settled in this area: John and Mary Moe, Cayuga County, N.Y.; the Caykindel family; Wm. Skinner, who was ship­ wrecked at sea and saved. There was Soloman Clarke. Wm. McNee, a family by the name of England from England; Scott Sherwood, John C. Smith and others. Sunday evening when Donna and Craig Culver decided to go to a movie, they discovered they only had $1.37. The Culvers went to the movie, even bought popcorn. They've got THE CONNEXIONtm . If you’re like the Culvers you can run out of cash over the weekend when your bank isn’t open. After paying the paperboy, sending birthday money to a nephew, buying Girl Scout cookies, and putting gas in the car, you can find you don’t have enough cash in hand to go to a movie. That’s one of the reasons we have THE CONNEXION. THE CONNEXION is the one card that keeps our most vital services available to you every minute, every hour, every day. All you do is insert your CONNEXION card, touch a few buttons, and you can do almost anything a teller does for you — deposit, withdraw, and transfer money, make loan payments and more! Ask for your CONNEXION card today. From then on, no matter what time or day it is, you’ll be in touch when you need us.

Ml I May 31,1984 I Pg. 3 When the white settlers came they found the descendants of two tribes of Indians here. They were the Chippewas and the Potawatomie. One tribe was located on what is known as the Henry Potts farm where there is a good spring and creek. They were very friendly and peaceable Indians, unless trading their baskets for white man s 'fire water. The Indians had a cemetery on what is now known as the Freeman farm. The body of the Indian was buried in a sitting position, with his bow and arrow, tomahawk and food by his side. An opening was left in the grave in which to place more food, enough to last until he reached the other side, the happy hun­ ting ground. In a short time, the settlers felt the need of a school for their children. A school house was made of logs. Mary Ann Coykindel was the first white girl and Worthington Moe was one of the white boys. Several Indian children attended at this time. Later they were able to build a wooden frame building for a school house, replacing the log house. In the early 1930’s, the Moe School was con­ solidated into the Thornapple Kellogg School District. The district allowed the community to keep the building as long as they kept it in repair. We are fortunate to have this historic school building, as there are very few landmarks of this kind left in Thomapple Township. The old one-room country school has many happy memories for those who attended, where reading, writing and arithmetic was taught, sometimes to the tune of the hickory stick. Many lasting frien­ dships were made there. This type of education is history now and more of it should be recorded for future references. The persons having any knowledge of them have long since passed away. On recently visiting the office of the Barry Co. Superintendent of Schools, looking over some old records of the Moe School, it was found the earliest record shown was 1889 - all previous records are not recorded at the county office. The writer is unable to find a record of the first two years of this school because of the passing on of all but two of the first scholars. The two remaining pupils are Lois Graves McDonald and Frand Gott. Their teachers were Ann Mason and Mattie Richar­ dson in the yers 1867 and 1868. The families of the following attended at this time: Freeman. Butcher. Moxon, Gatt, Skinner and Caykendall. Some time later Celia Gatt. later Celia Potts, attended with Mary Ann Caykendall. The Henry and Celia Potts family and the Moses Robinson family can boast of 3 generations each going to this school. John Moe was a great reader of history. The children looked forward to his coming for a discussion in the history class. He was a man with great convictions and no one could shake them. It was through his efforts and interest in education combined with those of his neighbors that the Moe school was started. He served many years on the board of the school that bears his name. Teacher R. D. Freeman, 1887 ledger, Charles Burt and Arthur Cridler taught 10 grades. Arthur Cridler was a much loved teacher. Clarence and Clyde Skinner and Julian Potts took 9th and 10th grade work. Clarence obtained a certificate to teach. I have the names of 40 teachers who taught in this school from the year 1868 to 1930 when the school was consolidated with the Kellogg Foundation who now owns this building and land. From the board minutes: “It is being used by people of that community as a place of social gathering, and a place for the annual school reunions.” Lawyers, school teachers, railroad engineers, state, county and township officers, ministers and doctors have come from this school. Teachers were: Anna Mason - Mattie Richardson, 1867-1868; R. D. Freeman, Betty Endyer, 1885; Lenora Louder, 1886; Jennie Thomas, 1887; Manilla Parkhurst, 1888; A. L. Louden, Lizzie Brightral, 1889; R. D. Freeman, Celia Baxter, 1890; 1895, Charles Parker. Teachers for 15 years later: May Smith, Nora Cur­ tis, Nina Shaw, Pearl Bass, Oscar Sherk, Daisy Dowling, Arthur Cridler, Charles Burt, Cara Osgood, William Woolston, Maude Converse, Maud Teeple, Clara Ellis, Emma Jackson. Teachers since 1905: Chris Winger, Loretta Adams, Alta Smith, Fannie Adgate, Flora Winger, Lila Cunningham. Erma Bovie, May Cairns, Oscar Shirk.

Visits Far East by Thelma Gehl Ralph and I (Thelma) flew to Seattle Tuesday May 8. stayed 2 days at our son’s home, and on Thursday son Jim and two boys, Brian and Bradley, joined us on a 10 Vi hour flight to Seoul, South Korea. There is 17 hours difference in time from Seattle time. I found it very hard to get used to the change and didn’t sleep more than two hours a night because of it. Seoul is settled down between two mountains. The City is divided by a river, thus the old and the new city. We rode in taxis through the old war tom city and on to the Shilla Hotel in the new city. We viewed the rice paddies. The hotel was lovely and the food excellent. The boys swam in the inside pool. We rode the hotel bus to the shopping center and back. The boys enjoyed bartering for the things they bought. Prices have raised double there in andicipation of the many hotel guests they hope to have shopping with the upcoming Asian Olympics in Seoul. Customers are their main support. On Monday we flew to Tokyo, Japan, another 2 hour flight. We took the bus from the airport to our beautiful New Takawana Prince hotel. It had a twin takawana Prince old hotel next to it where many ate their meals as they were much cheaper there. They were both elegant, huge and expensive, as most everything in Japan was. The flowers blooming around the hotel gardens were gorgeous - lillium, bouganvillea, camellias, hibiscus and lotus blossoms. In Japan a home is not a home without a garden. A “right to sunshine’’ law forbids anyone to build too high up. We did very little traveling in Japan as it was so expensive. We were unable to see the countryside from the expressways as there was a huge wall most of the way along it to protect the farmers from noise and debris. Japan is kept very clean. On Wednesday we took a bus back to the airport and another 2‘/t hour flight to Okinawa at the Sun Plaza hotel. We rented a car for 6 hours each for two days. The first day we walked uptown and looked the city over in the shopping area. The 2nd day we drove north where we could see Iwo Jima, the island my husband Ralph was stationed on in WWII. The island was nicknamed Chocolate Drop because the top of the mountain on it looked like a chocolate drop. We were unable to find the place to get a ferry to drive our car on over to the island because of the language barrier, no one under­ stood us. It was raining very hard and the park to the “Expo” was closed. Signs were all written in their language, so we drove back to the hotel. The next day we drove to the southern part of Okinawa. It was quite an experience as the drivers seat in the car is on the right side of the car, they drive on the left side of the road, and signs are all in their language. Jim did very well with our rented car. They have highway signs in numbers as we do, so that saved the day for us. The scenery was beautiful, but we were unable to read anything but highway numbers. We found “McDonalds, Ken­ tucky Frid Chicken and A&W” to eat. We tried local restaurants a couple times, but decided we wouldn’t make very good Japanese. The shops are small and hooked together through the whole towns. Gas was 83.00 per gallon. They build small concrete houses to house the ashes of their people after they are cremated. One family held the ashes of 2500 of its former family inhabitants, through the generations. The ashes are put in bottles and stored in these houses beside the roads. The crops grown here are tobacco and sugar cane mainly, also some corn and pineapple. On Sunday we left Okinawa to take a plane back to Tokyo and from there on to Seattle. �P» 121 The Sun and Nawi, Mddtevdk Ml I May 31.1984 at your Public Library by CHRIS BOYSEN Pubitc Library Assistant On Campus I_________________________ > Bonnie Scheltema Jason Birdwell, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Bar­ dwell, 302 Arlington, Middleville, caught this 16” brown trout in the Thornapple River recently, and making it even better was that he caught it in his own backyard, as the Birdwell home is adjacent to the river.

The 2.5 mills would, according to Superintendent Gerald Page, raise about $300,000, or 6% of the total budget. "The Board and administration feel that they have been very careful with the funds allocated. No one likes taxes, but there is no better place to spend money than on the future of our area, state and nation," said Page. Voters will also select two people to serve four year terms on the Board. Four candidates are on the ballot: Cnrv VanElst and WesleyxrVanRhee, di Gary both• incum­ bents, are seeking re-election to the board for a second term. VanElst, a Yankee Springs farmer, is a graduate of TKHS. VanRhee, a resident of Davis Road, is a Grand Rapids postal employee. Challenging for a seat on the board are two residents of the district: Jim Verlinde, also a TKHS graduate, is an employee of a Grand Rapids automotive firm. Patricia Moretti, a Gun Lake housewife, rounds out the field. Voting on Monday will take place from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the TKHS auditorium (Precinct 1) and the Freeport Village Hall (Precinct 2). _ * On Monday, June 11, the taxpayers of the Caledonia Community School District are being asked to approve a millage renewal proposition. The renewal request is for the same operating millage rate for the next two years (1984-85) that the schools have operated with for the past two years, 21.9. This proposal is not a tax rate increase, but a con­ tinuation of the current rate. In addition, there are two board of education vacancies to be filled. The following candidates are running for the positions: Frederick J. Boncher, Michael Bowman, Linda Mason Engman, Diane F. Fowler, Russel John Harmelink, and Robert Lee Stockman. Voting precincts will be open at 7:00 a.m. and closed at 8:00 p.m. There are three voting locations: Precinct 1 at Caledonia High School, Precinct 2 at Kettle Lake Elementary and Precinct 3 at Dutton Elementary.

This letter seeks to endorse a perspective can­ didate for the school board of the Thornapple Kellogg School system. Ms. Patricia Moretti is our acquaintance of six years and our friend. During this time, it has been difficult to ignore the zeal she has displayed while participating in school related matters. She has been knowledgeable about and in­ tensely interested in school issues as they affect students, teachers and parents. In our view, her qualifications as a potential board member make Ms. Moretti an interesting, com­ petent and exciting candidate in June 11 election. Thank you Diane and Jim Weatherhead by JOANNE BOYSEN “Summertime, and the livin’ is easy” so go the lyrics to the song, but I’m convinced the man who wrote that song had never spent a summer in this part of the country. There is so much to be crammed into our few months or weeks of warm weather that it’s hard to know where to begin. Everything needs doing at once. We hardly have time to enjoy and ap­ preciate those glorious days (not Memorial Day this year!) that we do occasionally have. One thing 1 have missed this year is putting in the flowers. I can scarcely wait until the weather is dependably warm each year before filling planters, flower beds, pots, etc. It’s such fun choosing plants, looking through catalogs, imagining how beautiful everything will look. (Not so much fun, the weeding, watering and spraying!) Next year we hope to try lots of new ideas. The new house even has a sun­ space planned especially for me so that I can work there with plants almost year around. What a lot I need to learn — about so many things.! Speaking of learning, the class of 1984 has written the final pages in the history of their high school career in both Caledonia and Middleville. Our congratulations to each graduate. There could be in their number a future governor of the state, president of the United States, discoverer of a cure for cancer, or a formula for world peace. The poten­ tial is enormous. Periodically, I’ve asked for your favorite recipes for our forthcoming (I hope) cookbook and for this column. A few weeks ago, a dear man. Art Mathews, close friend of Grandma Elizabeth Timm, let me borrow a box of his late wife’s favorite recipes. I’ve had a good time looking through the box - so many of them sound so good it was hard to choose. Thought you might like this recipe for biscuits. I think the rich crusty version would be great for strawberry shortcake - and that season is coming soon. Thank you, Art.

It is that spirit of self-help that is behind the GOP plan. The key arm of the Republican plan is im­ proving student performance and producing em­ ployable graduates. Permitting students who don’t even have a minimum level of competence to graduate is onconscionable. Yet that is exactly what often happens because there are currently no state­ set minimum graduation requirements. The plan before the Senate would require high school graduates to pass the Michigan Education Assessment Program tenth-grade equivalency test, which would assure at least a minimum level of knowledge. In addition, other proposals would mandate four years of English, math and laboratory science, three years of social studies, two years of a foreign language, and one year of computer science. Michigan teachers are also an integral part of the Republican Education Action Plan (REAP). If there is to be any improvement in the performance of our students, that effort must include teacher par- BILLIE'S BEAUTY SALON "ON THE LAKE" 555 S.

Educators cannot be blamed for the en­ tire problem in the education system, but they can certainly be a part of the solution. Some of the proposals currently before the Senate include: cer­ tification of new teachers only in areas of expertise: new teacher certification procedures in addition to present requirements; requiring a 75% or higher score on national teachers' exams; and allowing local school districts to hire non-certified specialists who meet stringent standards to teach on a limited basis. Recognizing that any successful plan must in­ clude all parties in the educational system, another part of the plan would increase the scholarship fund for high achievers, as well as increase state funding for higher education. Michigan legislators continue to grapple with the question of funding for welfare versus education. Senate Democrats are still trying to cure the problem of bloated welfare rolls by throwing more money at it. Senate Republicans have taken a dif­ ferent tack, opting instead to concentrate on con­ structive programs that will permanently remove persons from welfare programs. Senate Republicans are not heartless; we are realists. Unemployment in Michigan is still high, and the only way that situation is going to change is to make people more employable. The best way to do that is to ensure that those who want a quality education receive one. For that reason, our priorities should lie with increased support for educational programs. Given a choice, I would rather support education proposals designed to help people help themselves, than a program that pays unlimited welfare benefits to the able-bodied.

While we have all heard some of the horror stories that have surfaced from time to time with regard to the abuse of children, the frequency of these incidents and the magnitude of the problem has been a real shock to me. It is a serious problem that is certainly not limited to our inner cities or urban areas, but is much more prevalent right here in our rural backyards than we might like to admit. Comprehensive Family Dental Care Saturday appts, available Evenings appts, available Phone 891-1240 “We enjoy working with children" John D. Bruinsma D.D.S. & staff 610 E. Main, Caledonia Our subcommittee approved legislation designed to extend greater protection to abused children that, I think, will clarify the procedures for investigating reports of suspected child neglect or abuse. House Bill 4177 would require schools and physicians to cooperate more fully with the Depar­ tment of Social Services (DSS) in investigating suspected abuse, and for the first time would require people licensed to provide emergency medical care, psychologists and family therapists to report suspected cases of abuse and neglect. The legislation also requires schools and other in­ stitutions to report suspicion of abuse or neglect of the child. One of the most significant features of the bill is that it establishes conditions under which the DSS must involve law enforcement officials in the in­ vestigation of abuse cases. Law enforcement officials must be involved when a child dies as the result of abuse, when the child is sexually abused or exploited, when the abuse results in physical injuury or hospitalization, and when the alleged perpetrator is not the child’s parent or guar­ dian. Child abuse is an extremely serious problem, and we must continually update our laws to effectively deal with it. While we must continue to search for the root causes of child abuse, our primary concern must be in the safety of children. This legislation tightens the safeguards, and I hope it is swiftly enacted into law. <--------------------------------------------------------- > Beautiful weather again, and warmer Clarke and I had Sunday dinner with June and Howard Colborn.

Not an auspicious beginning with all-new everything. I used to feel that the WOTV tower served as a giant lightning rod for the neighborhood, but am wrong again! It’s been interesting to watch the tower workers ride up and down the tower in their swinging elevator the last couple of weeks. They’ve been doing a lot of maintenance work, so when we’re out scratching around in the garden, it’s not unusual to hear voices coming out of the sky. Last Wednesday evening I was honored to be a small part of the “This Is Your Life, Maxine Mar­ tin” program put on by the ladies of the Wyoming Park United Methodist Church as their farewell tribute to Maxine. Ladies were also present from their former charges at Hartford, Edmore and Freeport, as well as Maxine’s daughters and other relatives. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening, and it was good to have Marge Williams and Ruth Hamilton along as part of those honoring Maxine.

State Representative Bob Bender has announced. Representative Bender said that 102 MESC locations throughout Michigan will be the only sites where young people can apply for the Youth Corps. Applications will be accepted through Friday. June 15. Pending legislative action, this year’s Youth Corps could create up to 15.500 summer jobs. To qualify for the Corps, young people must be 18 to 21 years of age. unemployed and Michigan residents. Preference in hiring will be given to those from families where the principal wage earner is unemployed. In addition, older applicants will take preference over younger candidates. Bender said. The jobs are expected to last from six to 12 weeks with members earning $3.35 an hour for a 30 or 40 hour week. Anticipated work sites for the program will include public parks and recreation areas, high­ way areas, county fairs, hospitals and schools. The offices will screen all forms and refer the names of eligible candidates to employers. Em­ ployers will then contact the applicants directly to arrange for interviews. “Young people should only submit one ap­ plication,’’ Bender said. "Anyone who applies more than once may be dropped from the applicant pool entirely.” For additional information, Barry County ap­ plicants may contact the MESC office at 575 East Woodlawn. Hastings.

Those books that successfully combine these aspects are a delight for parents and children to share. The following new books at the library are titles worth reading: Sam Johnson and His Blue Ribbon Quilt by Ernst relates how Sam discovers he enjoys quilting while patching an awning. When Sam attempts to join his wife’s quilting, he is rejected and ridiculed. The characters eventually learn that when everyone is permitted to contribute their efforts, the results are the most rewarding. This would be an excellent book for a quilter to share with a child. Posy is about a little girl who begs her daddy to tell her another bedtime story then another then ... Parents facing his familiar situation will find this to be useful as well as enjoyable while they share the story and tender family scenes. What ’• Under My Bed? is about another bedtime problem. Youngsters visiting their Grandpa are scared by sounds and sights when they try to sleep. Grandpa explains and discusses the strange noises and shadows with them. This is very cleverly writ­ ten and illustrated. It should be a source of comfort and reassurance for children with this problem. I Unpacked My Grandmother's Trunk by Susan Hoguet is based on the memory game of the same name. This book could be used repeatedly to help children develop memory skills, reinforce alphabetical sequence, for pure enjoyment, and family participation. The illustrations are humorously done. When children begin to read alone, their vocabularies are so limited that it is difficult to combine all the elements of a good book. Some writers have accomplished this so successfully that they have written several books about a character who will appeal to children just learning to read. Suggested authors and books in series for young readers are: Arnold Lobel — Frog and toad series Peggy Parish - Amelia Bedelia series Richard Margolis - Big Bear series Jean van Leeuwen - Oliver the Pig series Russell Hoban - Frances series Lillian Hoban - Arthur the monkey series Marjorie Sharmat - Nate the Great series This column will offer suggestions for upper elementary readers next week.

Don Boysen loaned me his 1950 Sun and News, and in it was an article entitled ‘More History of the Prairie’ by Mrs. Oscar (Florence) Kaechele. In it she tells us about Sam Davis Sr. and family as well as the Harper family: "On May 13, 1844, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Davis, little son Samuel and Tom Clark, brother of Mrs. Davis, with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Harper and daughters Eliza A. and Laura Jane, arrived on the Prairie from Rochester, New York, by way of railroad to Jackson, which was the end of the line. There they purchased covered wagons, horses and oxen to carry them westward to their Michigan wilderness upon which not a single axe-stroke had fallen. These farms have always since been in the possession of these families. Samuel Davis, wife Sarah and son Samuel came to New York State from Suffolkshire, England. After a time spent at Rochester where Samuel worked for two years and received no pay, they decided to come to the new territory of Michigan, arriving with 85, an axe and a scythe. Upon arrival here, they lived in a small house on the farm now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Klump, once known as the J. C. Bray farm. "Some time later they lived on the Reginald Cridler farm near the north line. Here there is asparagus still growing to mark the home site. "In the year 1855, Mr. Davis purchased the Davis farm on the corner two miles west of Middleville, this farm then being owned by a Mr. Gardner. Mr. and Mrs. Davis were the parents of nine children: "Samuel, father of George Davis and Mrs. Ray Hello, Americans... Hear the wit and wisdom of Paul Harvey News and Commentary along with The Rest of the Story" Monday through Saturday exclusively on WCUZ AM and FM Listen for Paul Harvey mornings at 8:30 on both WCUZ AM and WCUZ FM. and again in the noon hour at 1206 on WCUZ AM, 1230 on your dial, and at 12:30 on WCUZ FM 101.3. The Rest of the Story" feature can be heard weekday evenings at 6:08 on WCUZ AM Lyons, Middleville, Alfred of Merritt, Gertie, Mrs. Bert Briggs of Merritt, Myrtie, Mrs. Chas. McPeck of Augusta, and Charles, father of Clifford Davis, Mary, wife of George Jackson and mother of the late Glen Jackson: Tom, father of Ernie Davis, Burt Davis and Carrie Davis; Laura, wife of Charles Pferdesteller; Jim, father of Charles, Nora, Sadie, Florence Davis Neutsel of Robinson, N.D. and Clara Overholt of Caledonia; Sarah, mother of ESJSfe ^®.c^son Avery of Marne, MI, and the late Will Jackson of Wayland; Hattie, wife of Frank An­ drews, for many years residents on West Main in Middleville, the present home of Mr. and Mrs. Grafmiller; George, one-time owner of this farm; and Charlie, a farm resident east of Middleville. "Robert Harper was born in Suffolkshire, England, in 1813, the fifth of ten children, to Charles and Elizabeth. He came with his family and first settled in Quebec in 1829. Robert then went to New York State in 1831. Here he met and married Mary Colby. They bought 40 acres of land near Rochester, later trading this for 160 acres in Thornapple Township, Barry County, Mich. Coming here in May of 1844, in the midst of the dense forest, they set up their rude log cabin. The road north and south was then cut out. Here they found many wild animal, and deer were plentiful. Wolves were many and bears not uncommon. "Some time later, Robert sold the east 80 acres, which is now the home place of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Stehr, and bought 160 acres directly across the road, building and moving to the present home in 1855. Here the daughters died and two sons were born, George A., father of the late W. R. Harper of Middleville, and Charles E. father of Ethel Harper Kaechele, teacher in the Otsego School, Murray Harper, forest ranger at Manistee, Florence Harper Kaechele, living on the home place, Maurice Harper, now living on the W. R. Harper farm, and Alice Harper Johnson of Chicago Heights, Ill. Footnote by Norma: Sam Davis Jr., Cliff Davis’s grandfather, was of English heritage, so a traditional food at Christmas was an English plum pudding. His wife would get the ingredients ready, and Sam would set out for Kalamazoo to buy the raisins to put in it. It sounds funny to us - who hop in our cars, go to the comer store and purchase raisins when needed to realize that the pioneer families brought with them a lot of their old traditions. And having a plum pudding at Christmas was an absolute must, so much so that he was willing to walk to Kalamazoo, a distance of 30 miles or more one way, to buy a (then) luxury item, raisins. Carrying on the old traditions and establishing new old traditions in your transplanted home makes for security and continuity and are wonderful ways to blend the old and the new. /--------------------------------------------- Clay Hills with WRETHA McNEE Mr. and Mrs. Leo Church called on Ida Skinner Sunday afternoon.

Sunday Ruth attended a graduation open house in Dorr honoring grandson, Donald Klump. eldest son of Bill and Mary Klump, who graduated from wayland. Fred and Alice Steiner spent the week end in Cissna Park, Illinois, where they attended the 80th birthday open house celebration for his sister, Mary. The Pat Harrison family enjoyed a special “Harrison” day on Sunday. In the morning all of the available family members, more than twenty, at­ tended services at the Parmelee United Methodist Church, then went to the home of Jim and Emily Harrison for a brunch honoring their son Pat, a recent graduate of Michigan State University. Pat is currently employed in the agriculture profession in Colorado. An Open House was held at Saskatoon in the afternoon honoring Bill Harrison, who recen­ tly received his Ph.D in Education, and the family joined in that celebration too. Virgil and Myrtle Adams attended grandson Jeff Oudman’s graduation at Grand Ledge, and they’ve visited her sister, the Lou Briggs family at Pontiac and her dad and sister at Peck. Michigan, since returning from Texas. Don’t think I’ like to try to keep two residences under control, for I’m never quite ‘‘in control” of the one we live in! In fact I’ve lost our tape recorder in the house, and hope some day a vision will come to me showing where I stuck it the day I just wanted to ‘get it out of the way’ for a while. Walter and Lois Bender attended the Page School reunion at Hopkins on Sunday, and in the afternoon attended the piano recital of Laurel Rock’s students in which their granddaughter Vonda Bender par­ ticipated. Cindy Wenger feels like the kids right now - she’s glad school is over and the bus isn’t waiting for her to drive it every morning.

Ml / Jum 14.1984 IN TOUCH WITH BOB BENDER, 88th District State Representative Seek Help for Vicrims of Crime A long time concern of mine deals with the way we treat, or quite often, mistreat, victims of crime. We have, over a period of time, enacted laws and wit­ nessed court rulings which guarantee certain protections and preservation of the rights of criminals, but which tend to ignore, to some extent, the victims of crime. As a result of this concern, I co sponsored a com­ prehensive 13 point plan to aid these victims. The bill. House Bill 5593, would mandate restitution and permit victims to inform the court of any adverse ELDON NEWMYER, DC. CHIROPRACTOR 2-7:00 p.m. 9-Noon & 2-7:00 p.m. Friday PHONE 795-7096 127 East Main Street / Downtown Middleville physical, psychological and financial effects as a result of a felony crime. In addition, victims would receive a measure of protection by not having to state their addresses during testimony, and by being notified immediately of the accused's release on bail, escape from prison, or early release. Current laws are woefully inadequate in protec­ ting victims' rights. In many instances, people who suffer from crimes are victimized twice - once by the act itself and again by the system. This legislation is designed to see that victims of felonies are treated fairly and compassionately, and will insure that the constitutional rights of victims are not sacrificed, as we protect the constitutional rights of criminals. Another package of bills with which I was in­ volved, both as a co-sponsor and as a member of the Corrections Committee, would allow county jails to charge prisoners for their room and board, if they have the ability to pay. Precautions were taken to ensure that the courts consider the prisoner’s family obligations before requiring him or her to pay for their incarceration. ________ OTWOT ©miCTOW ST.

The home, at 210 Robin Road in the MiddlevilleDowna, was not occupied at the time. The natural gas coming into the home, plus other materials and furniture, was on fire when the Middleville-Thornapple Township Fire Department arrived. The fire was quickly put out, but extensive damage was done to the structure by the explosion. The house, owned by Janice Nichols, was moved off its foundation several inches, according to Fire chief Bob Kenyon. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation by the Barry County Sheriff’s Department.

We had finished moving back to town except for a freezer, so Don and Mike were unloading that Monday night when Don fell, put out his hand to catch himself and fractured his arm. Fortunately, it isn’t a severe break, but it sure isn't much fun. The Clarence Scott residence is currently our home away from home. How lucky we are to have friends willing to share their home with us while ours is being built. We enjoyed our stay at Streeter's and we're now very comfortable at Scott's for the next few weeks. It has been very difficult to find time amidst all the moving, building decisions, working in the den­ tal office and the Sun office to spend time on our cook book project, but we are still plugging along. However, time is getting short, so we will have to get your recipes soon if you want them included in the cookbook. Now is the time! Please send us your favorite recipe by July 1st to get into the book. All of these recipes have appeared or will appear in the Sun. They may appear after July 1st, but we need them now to get the material ready to be printed. Our thanks this week to Mrs. Elizabeth Timm who sent us this recipe for chili sauce which she says is very good. CHILI SAUCE 12 apples ) 12 onions Ipeeled and chopped 36 ripe tomatoes ) 2 tablespoons mixed spices 1 quart vinegar 2 lbs. brown sugar 1 red pepper, chopped 3 tablespoons salt black pepper to taste Mix all ingredients, except mixed spices, thoroughly. Cook slowly for 3 hours, being careful not to bum. Tie mixed spices into cheesecloth square, cover with water, boil 10 minutes and add water to mix­ ture. Grandma Timm didn’t say how much this makes, but I’d guess several jars. OBITUARIES <_________________________________________ > RICHARD J. SPRINGER Richard J.

Lori Vander Ark, Craig Vet✓---------------------------------------------------------------- RIBC's Recycling Tips by JACKIE SCHMITZ. “I liked your show. It helped me see what's hap­ pening to the world. It makes me want to recycle,” said the thank you note from Jake Brewer, one of Mrs. Matousek’s fourth graders from Delton Kellogg Elementary School following a slide show presentation on recycling for all five of the fourth grade classes. The enthusiasm generated by the slide show led to a class project whereby students chose to collect glass bottles and jars and tin food cans to recycle. The school cafeteria contributed jars and cans as well. Two very large boxes of materials were recycled and therefore kept out of the landfill by the environmentally conscious Delton Kellogg studen­ ts. Slide shows were also presented to the Middleville Rotary Club, Lake Odessa Lions Club and Mr. Mid­ dlebush’s eighth grade Earth Science class in Mid­ dleville recently to help promote Recycling Month. The slide show and speakers are available to any in­ terested community group, church group or classroom. Call Jackie Schmitz at 795-7897 for requests. The educational units on Recycling we have been working on are finally completed and available for use by teachers in Barry County. The packets are especially designed for use by elementary, middle school and high school grades. They contain materials appropriate for each level including stories, projects, games and educational posters. Any teachers interested in stimulating concern for the environment in their students next year may call the above mentioned number for a look at the materials. Glass jars and bottles, metal food cans and aluminum (foil, pie plates, etc.) may be recycled at the Middleville recycle station behind the Middle mart Party Store on M-37 or the Hastings Recycling Station in the fire station parking lot. Window glass and light bulbs are not recyclable and contaminate the load. Glass must be washed and caps discarded but paper labels do not have to be removed. Only clear, green and brown glass can be accepted. Wash tin cans (no aerosol cans please), remove paper labels, open both ends and flatten. Aluminum must be clean and flattened and placed in specially marked barrels. Don't forget to recycle your used crankcase oil this summer at any service station displaying the black and yellow ‘ Recycle Used Oil Here” sign!

Parents extending assistance to school children in emergency situations will be protected from civil liability under the state’s ‘good Samaritan’ act if a proposal offered by two western Michigan legislators becomes law. State Representatives Paul Hillegonds (RHolland) and Bob Bender (R —Middleville) in­ troduced legislation last week placing parent block programs under existing law to protect these volun­ teers from civil suits arising out of an injury suf­ fered by a child seeking help. "Parents in school districts throughout the state signify their willingness to help children who may be frightened by someone who is following them, or may be ill, or scared of a dog, by taping a house or ‘helping hand' symbol in their windows,” Hillegon­ ds said. “Yet there is a growing concern amoing districts’ legal advisors that the parents and the district itself might be sued if a child trips on the front steps or otherwise injures himself when he goes to a house for help. This bill places parent block programs where they belong in the law — under the ‘good Samaritan act’.” Bender explained that parents participating in the block programs who in good faith render emergency assistance to school children would not be liable for civil damages resulting from an action on their part or an omission. "However they would be liable for gross negligen­ ce or willful and wanton misconduct, ” he continued. "But the point is that one or two lawsuits in a par­ ticular district could mean the end of a valuable program that protects children from molesters and adds another dimension of neighborhood safety.” The issue was raised by the attorney for Plainwell High School who expressed concern over the possibility that the district could be held legally ac­ countable for injuries. "Our goal isn’t government intrusion into a program that works well,” Hillegonds said. "It’s to provide some necessary legal protection so valuable volunteers will continue to be good Samaritans to the chidren who rely on them. ” GMR BUSINESS SERVICE OFFICE SUPPLIES l NANCY GIAR a Hour*: Daily 9 a m. to 5 p m Closed Noon Hour 12-1 p.m./Closed Sat. 130 E.

The Jaycees. project organizers, say the community has responded with enthusiasm, and the day will be packed with activities for the whole family. Everything happens on Saturday, June 30, at Caledonia Lakeside Park. A Kick-off parade is scheduled for 12 noon through the streets of Caledonia village. All parade entrants should meet at the elementary school parking lot at 11 a.m. Also, children with decorated bikes should gather at the high school parking lot at 11 a.m. for a decorated bike contest sponsored by the Caledonia D & W Food Store. Later in the day there will be a turtle race and a frog jump, so start looking for those little critters now for the competition. Once in the park you will find all sorts of activities to keep you busy. At 1 p.m. there are a pair of tractor pulls, a mini-modified and an antique pull. Then at 1:30, the kids games begin, including that turtle race and frog jump. There is a hole-in-one contest from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and at 4 p.m. begins a little league All Star double header.

The Jaycees appreciate all the support they have received in putting this year s celebration together. More of the community is in­ volved this year, which should make for a grand time for all. A day of fun with your family is what is planned, and fun is what you family will have at the Caledonia Independence Day Celebration on Satur­ day, June 20. ONE ERA ended last week in Mid­ dleville and another one has begun. Sin­ ce 1928 there has been a Geukes Meat Market on Middleville's Main Street, and for decades before that, Middleville has had a retail meat establishment. That came to a close last Thursday when Don Geukes moved his business to new facilities adjacent to his slaughterhouse off High Street next to the Thornapple River. Geukes cited several factors in his move. “We want to make our business more responsive t custom meat cutting, packaging and freezing, and our out-of-date facilities downtown just couldn’t be improved to satisfy both the meat inspection people and ourselves.” There will be no retail sales at the new location as was done in the downtown marked. "We will, however, offer meat bundles and several other unique ser­ vices.” said the owner. Chet Geukes, retired foemer owner of the business, is shown at the downtown storefront, and his son, Don. waits to open the door at his new place in the other photo. ART JOHNSON of Caledonia will be opening his new family shoe store at the Caledonia Village Center on July 9. The store, completely planned, built and decorated by Johnson, is located next to the Cedar Closet. Called "Caledonia Family Footwear,” the store will feature shoe brands from Naturalizer, Bass, Lifestride, Buster Brown, Adidas, Dex­ ter, Freeman, Dingo boots and Carolina Work shoes. to 34 IAITIBG3 P08U8 LIMUfV ui l cwnti mtn �Pg. 2 / The Sun and News, Middlevihe, Ml / June 28,1984 Woman's Whirl at your Public Library by JOANNE BOYSEN by CHRIS BOYSEN Public Library Assistant It has been said that only a few people possess the talent necessary to become successftil writers and those lacking the talent will never be accomplished with written words. I'm not convinced that this is true. A natural talent makes the task easier and more rewarding. Many things, however, that com­ bine to produce a good author are knowledge and appreciation of the English language. These are skills that can be developed. Some people spend their lives never acquiring writing skills. Not only are they missing the sense of achievement that creative writing produces, they are missing benefits that result in effective correspondence. For exam­ ple, perhaps you have been billed for merchandise you never received. How do you write a clear, con­ cise letter that will correct this problem? Good communication skills would certainly be beneficial. Many books are available to help sharpen writing skills. Once you've learned the basics, the only necessary tools will be a dictionary and a Thesaurus to help with spelling and locating the exact words you want. Practice. I’ve found that the more you write, the easier it becomes. Maybe these books will help you enjoy your writing as well as become proficient with the art. Say It With Words by Charles W. Ferguson.

Ml I June 28,19841 Pg. 3 Middleville Walkers Have ’’Wings on Their Heels” by Ruth Hamilton For some time now, Katy Stone, Gen Wenzel and I have been planning and training for a hike to Mackinaw City, a goal that materialized out of the enjoyment of a regular walking exercise. One requirement from our husbands was a driver-guide to keep a check on us and tend to various extra needs we’d have along the way. We were overjoyed and relieved when Marilyn Finkbeiner said she’d be glad to drive the whole trip. Then deciding to use a motor home instead of van and motels just rounded out the whole trip for us and was the ideal way to go. Our route followed M-37 to Old 131 and US 31 from Petoskey to Mackinaw City. Amid rain drops and several well wishers. Katy, Gen and 1 began our hike, leaving at 5:15 a.m on June 9th. Marilyn came along later to meet us for our first break. As we neared Grand Rapids our excitement con­ tinued to grow - although the area was familiar, the adventure was new. From then on our daily routine followed pretty much a regular pattern. We rested every 7 - 8 miles to change socks, powder feet, and have some water, fruit, juice, or a granola bar. After 18-20 miles, we d take a 2 hour rest and have a light lunch. Feeling refreshed, we d finish our last 5 - 7 miles by late afternoon. We averaged 26 miles a day. going as high as 30li miles the first day, a low of 20 From left: Gen Wenzel, Katy Stone.

What sounds routine was not in the least monotonous. The beginning of each day at 4:00 a.m.. to juggle three girls in the motor home to be ready for walking about 5:15 was never dull. Add Marilyn getting ready on the mornings she had to return us to our last point of walking, as only 3 mornings we were able to walk from camp to our route. That first hour of the day was a feat in itself. Then the thrills and adventure of the day, as we'd start out with flashlights to watch a new day break. The sounds and sights of daybreak are an adventure all their own. Just to see the day unfold was fun. Like the third morning near Morley when we saw several deer, while father north only one or two, end then only after carefully searching, or the morning near Pellston when Mr. Porcupine ran across the road, plus a variety of birds along the way. Every day was a bit different. As we headed north we began to see lush green woods of pine, oak, maple, and fields of potatoes and other crops. The smells of early summer woods and the flowers and the earth itself just fill you with vitality. So as you can well imagine, we were on an adventure trip with our physical senses — sights, sounds, smells, touch and taste (especially that of hot coffee or cool juice) and even the^dded sense of imagination. Near Boyne Falls there were many rip­ pling streams weaving through the meadows. If we had a long flat stretch of road, particularly at mid-day, we d often wear our pocket radio or cassette and earphones. Played low we could still talk with each other and hear traffic, but it helped as we were often walking single file. Our third day found us setting a new record of 5 mph for the first 16-18 miles. It wasn't planned, we just felt into moving as it was a cool, easy walking morning and we were excited about reaching Big Rapids. We did slow down walking over the Muskegon River Bridge to study the view, and were very happy for the rest area at Rogers Dam at the top of one of the many hills. The rest of the trip we held an even 3‘/» - 4 mile per hour pace. The fourth day was not only the hottest day, but the longest and hardest. We took a long three-hour break during the hottest part of the day. It was a pretty area north of Reed City, but when we got near our last 7 miles we’d reached the divided part of 131 and it looked like it went forever. That was also our "funny ” day, because to pass the time and ignore the heat we played word games. Laughter makes everything seem easier, and laughter took us our last six miles. We knew we needed to rest our muscles as well as our feet, so we chose Day 5 and Cadillac to rest and replenish the economy! (You might call it shopping.) We also found time to do our laundry as our socks supply was limited. The rest was just what we needed, and when Marilyn took us back to our latest point of walking, near Tustin south of Cadillac, the walking seemed easier. It’s harder to go back and walk through an area you’ve already been to for earning or resting, and we preferred to camp where we had walked to save each walk as a new area. However, we were happy to find good facilities with a 6-8 mile radius, so we had to retreat four mornings. Each day seemed easier, and once we got to Cadillac we felt we were really Up North. After about 23 miles each day, our feet began to tell us we had about reached our limit as the last 3 - 4 miles always seemed long and tiring. Yet the next mor­ ning we were ready to go again. We never had any aching muscles, but, yes , we did get some blisters and Dr. Scholl was pleased to help us through the trip. Most days were overcast somewhat which helped protect us from the sun. There always seemed to be a good breeze which we needed in the afternoons along with our hats to combat the sun. Thursday, Day 6, was the only cold day we had — such that we never shed our nylon suits to bare arms or shorts. But it was an ideal brisk walking day. Sunday, Day 9, it was rainy so we quickly turned off the alarm and slept in, starting out at 9:00 a.m. The day went CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 SPECIAL THIS WEEK Green Peppers.......................... 5/$ 1.00 Tomatoes..................................... 49- lb.

I’ve only heard it pronounced, never seen it written, so I may spell it all wrong. (Norma, in our Funk & Wagnails at the Sun and News it is listed as ‘charivari” - but chivaree is an alternate spelling. LB I It’s the noisy welcome party the community give a new bride and groom. They steal up on the newlyweds about midnight and make all kinds of horrible noises until they come to the door and in­ vite everyone in and serve a snack. Sometimes they’ve been known to play mean tricks. Myrl and Betty Schantz, a couple of weeks ago. had one neighbor couple who wanted to come over and welcome Betty to the area. They were all sitting around the table visiting when the noise exploded startling them. It was the neighbors giving Myrl and Betty an old fashioned chivaree - they even brought their own snacks. Wasn’t that a nice frien­ dly thing to do for the newlyweds? Then this last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Marv DeGood had the neighbors in for an open house for Betty and Myrl. so everyone could get to know her. In all the historical newspaper reading I ’ve been doing. I came across this little chauvinistic item in the 1895 Hastings Banner. A young man in a neigh­ boring town was arrested for kissing a young woman against her will. His defense was that she wore bloomers and he mistook her for his long lost brother. He was acquitted. Charlotte Finkbeiner had a cute idea. Carol Kenyon (Mrs. Rod) has her birthday December 21. and like most “near Christmas babies’’ gets sort of missed as far as birthdays. So everyone was getting together for Art and Ann’s anniversary and they called it a half year birthday party for Carol. They all got together at Harwood with a wienie roast to honor both events. The Doug Hart family had a super week vacation in Chicago. They visited the Brookfield Zoo. It was the zoo’s 50th anniversary. They now have the Tropical World with gorillas in their natural habitat, and all kinds of the monkey family. They had so many animals, many they had never seen. They have exhibits which place them so naturally that you really get the right perspective on their ap­ pearance. size and habitat. None of them had realized that the walrus is such a mammoth animal. There were so many different animals they had never seen, for example a black and white rhinocerous. Doug said he can realize now how they could easily tip over a land rover because of their tremendous size and strength. They also spent 13 hours at Great America. They sure know how to cater to the children’s likes and needs. The youngsters and ‘oldsters’ had a good time. Even the weather cooperated for a perfect vacation, then they got caught in a traffic tie up and could only move 10 miles an hour. They arrived home Friday. Then Saturday they attended a wedding in Grand Rapids and Sunday they visited his wife’s folks. She and her mom went strawberry picking. The Olivers celebrated Scott’s ninth birthday with friends from school. They went to Show Biz Pizza and had a good time. They now have a fellow teacher visiting them for a month from Houston, Texas.

Letha Finkbeiner just got back last night from a 1*4 month stay in Venezuela visiting her fiance’s family. It’s her second trip and she says its good to be home. The Lewis’s attended the Blue Grass Festival Sunday - nice turnout and nice weather. I didn’t get hold of Bob and Pat Sullivan for a while. Pat said her grandson was baptized June 3rd and they had a party afterward at their home. His godparents, the Steve Sullivans, were also there. Pat and Bob have been going back and forth to their cottage up at Traverse City. Louise Elwood. Mike and Connie Eavey attended an Art Show in East Grand Rapids Saturday.

Rosie is staying a week afterwards to visit with her family and par­ ticularly her sister who is here from California. Gladys Briggs couldn’t talk much. She had a hard time breathing. Dryness seems to cause trouble. Sunday the Clare Tolans went to the Williams family reunion at South Haven. They had a nice time. Russ and Alice Bender went up to Barryton to visit Mr. and Mrs. Errol Putman and help celebrate two birthdays, Mary Alice’s and Kim s. On the way home they stopped at Cedar Springs to see Rev. Art and Syd Jackson. Mrs. Featherly spent the weekend babysitting at Vic and Sue’s. Ruth Hamilton is going to write up their walking trip to Mackinac - but said she’s rarin to go again. Everyone had a wonderful time - people were so friendly. Marilyn had a ball watching people's faces as they read the sign on the back of the motor home. The walkers could see and hear things that the fast pace in a car misses. A slow pace is so much more relaxing and life is fresher and more beautiful. Bud Stone and Dick Hamilton came up and joined them for the last four miles. Mrs. Hamilton said they used Skin so soft to ward off deer flies and black flies. I’ll have to try it because the black flies make me swell right up. Mary and Melvin Noah went up to the cabin Saturday, returning Sunday. Mary VanderWall is home from her stay in her son’s trailer at Gun Lake and is planning on staying at Barlow Lake for a short time.

We not only had fun, but it was refreshing as well.It was still somewhat foggy, so our long anticipated view of Petoskey was not to be seen. Although sorry to miss it, we were happy for our safe bearings. No sane woman would walk straight through Petoskey and NOT take time for resting and aiding the economy, so we spent Day 10 in Petoskey. The tensions and excitement began to rise again as we neared our last two days of walking. We were about to see the reality of a long dream and happy — true, yet saddened at the closing of an experience that can only be described as beautiful — a lesson in unconditional love, joy, laughter, caring, sharing, and friendships growing even more. So when we tell you to “Go take a hike’’ we mean it with kindness and good cheer, because we think it's a great thing to do. People along the way were so helpful, kind, curious, amazed, and supportive. Strangers we’ll never see again, yet kind enough to offer help and encouragement. The world is full of beauty — especially beautiful people. The real beauty of the trip was of the heart; of friends along the way: Pastor Chuck sending us off with a prayer and good wishes and each of our many friends that gathered for our prayerful beginning; Helen Bender and Sue Anne Hewlett; the full crew from Pharmacy Care; all up at 5:00 a.m. to see us off. The many merchants that posted encouragement on their marquees and all of the townspeople who have continued to support us through our training right to our final mile. Jack Wing in the right spot at the 28th Street light; SueAnne Hewlett, John and Bessie Velthouse, Gary and Char McKee stopping to wish us well near Reed City or South Boardman; many friends along the way on our first day; the State Police in Reed City wishing us well and keeping watch of us the rest of the way; Marilyn and John VandenBerg to meet us in Mackinaw City; and Rosie VanderBand and her continuous stream of good wishes; Mr. and Mrs. Stone hosting our visit in Mackinaw City was a grand highlight of our trip. To each and every one who in some way added a touch of encouragement we are so sincerely grateful and thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It goes without saying that our four husbands en­ dured some long tiring days from the beginning of our plans, and their understanding and generous support throughout made the dream a reality. It was great to have Bud and Dick join us for the last four miles. Are we tired of walking - no! Would we go again —yes’ Wings on our Heels — wings of friendship, love and joy. �NEWS OF YOUR CALEDONIA NEIGHBORS with ANNE RABB and THELMA GEHL Summer arrived in Michigan Thursday.

MH June 28,1984 Down Memory Lane WITH NORMA VELDERMAN The Fred Mattesons Fred and Belle Matteson have lived in their home at Barlow Lake for 41 years. They both have been very active in Masons and Eastern Star. Belle has been very active in Literary and Garden Club for years. Fred has worked at painting, papering and carpenter work all the time he’s lived here. They have one daughter, Betty (Mrs. Paul) Newman. Fred's grandparents, George W. and Sarah Mat­ teson came to this area in 1855. He took up two par­ cels of land in Yankee Springs township. One 40A, where they built their home and buildings, was on the northeast comer of Bender Road and Shaw Lake Road. The buildings are no longer there. Being an avid fisherman and hunter, he bought the 40A across the road. It ran all the way back to Bassett Lake. His brother, David, who was interested in good farm land, came with them, later bought a heavier piece of land for farming on Bender Road, half way between the high school and Mart and Cin­ dy Wenger’s farm. It used to be Elton Finkbeiners farm. David later retired from the farm to Mid­ dleville and his daughter Dell Allen lived with him, one block north of the light in a big white house where Mutual Savings and Loan is now. George and Sarah Matteson had four children: Fred, who died at an early age, George, Will and Oliver (Fred’s dad). Oliver married Carolyn Huggett. She was born and raised on a farm on the west side of Barlow Lake about a half mile north of the church and school at Bowens Mill on Payne Lake Road. After being married, Oliver and Carolyn came to live on the farm on Bender and Shaw Lake Road. They had two children, Ruth (Mrs. Jake Schad) and Fred. They attended the Coman school on the corner of Norris and Shaw Lake Road. Ater Ruth graduated from the 8th grade, she wanted to go on to high school at Middleville Union School. The only way she could go would be to drive a horse and buggy to school every day. But the horse they had to use was too frisky and her dad felt it was too much for a girl. So they paid Fred’s tuition to go to Middleville to go to school, so then he and Bob Hoover took turns each driving a week. They stabled their horse at the vet’s, Dr. Van Vallser (sp). Then the boys would water and feed the hourse during their lunch hour, their parents furnishing the hay. Oliver and Carolyn Matteson would move back and forth from their home on Shaw and Bender Roads to their other farm on Briggs Road adjoining the now “Y” camp area. Fred was quite small but he could remember standing looking out the window and seeing his Dad hurrying in to tell them that President McKinley had been assassinated. iBlBHWACKER M-37 in MIDDLEVILLE NOW LIVE BAIT SHRUBS and TREES Fertilizers, Chemicals, ETC., 795-7782 9-7 TUES. THRU SUN. CLOSED MONDAY ACROSS FROM CRYSTAL FLASH MARK AND LORETTA WORTH OWNERS When they first came, the two brothers, George and David Mateson, were down to the lake and som Indians were fn a canoe. They asked them if they would like to learn how to catch big fish, so the men said sure. One of the brothers saw what looked like a log and went to spear it, when the Indians flipped them into the water - so they couldn’t get the big fish, then took the canoe and went on. leaving them in the lake. Maybe it was just an Indian joke on the white man. because later George and Sarah never had any trouble with the Indians. They all got along beautifully. Whenever Sarah churned or baked bread they always shared what they had. They never lost anything from an Indian stealing. Grandmother Mary Huggett was very acive in getting the Peoples Church of Bowens Mills started. To have a church and build the bu8ilding. they sold shares to interested people for $5 a share. Fred has his two shares from his grandmother. As the shareholders died. Schuyler Bowen would ap­ propriate them until he had most of them, except Fred and Belle’s two. Schuyler tried to get them, and so did the Reformed people when they started the undenominational church, but Belle wouldn’t let them go. At the time of the People’s Church forming. Bowens Mills was quite a thriving village. It had a church, school, very popular blacksmith shop, har­ dware store, grocery store and the Mill for flower, cider and lumber. They even had a post office. At first it was called Gun Lake Post Office, but later changed to Bowens Mills. I guess Oliver liked hunting and fishing as much as his dad, George. He ordered a shotgun from the Sears Roebuck catalog, then he and Jake Schad and Fred went over to the swails at Bassett Lake. Fred and Jake circled out to flush up the partridge, Oliver shot it dead center. So with a twinkle in his eye said “I guess the gun works good.” Oliver also surprised his wife Carolyn one time. She had just gotten a lovely new couch. (For you “youngsters” - a couch was sort of a davenport with one end higher than the other and it curved down to the other end. Davenports came later) She had been somewhere and came home, and her lovely new couch was gone. In those days, they never locked their homes, probably didn’t even have a key. So anyone could have taken it. But that was the only thing missing. Later Oliver came home with a “stone boat” with the couch on it. (for you folks who don’t know what “stone boats’’ are, it is nothing more than a rough wagon bed • little or no sides, on logs or lumber as runners to slide along the ground when you’re picking up stones in the field. I would have loved to have seen Carolyn’s face when he told her what he’d used it for. A neighbor was badly injured, and to prevent any more in­ juries, he had loaded the couch on to the stone boat and taken him for help. Fred didn’t remember who the man was, or badly he he was hurt, or where he was taken - but he did remember how astonished his mom was at the use of the new couch! Fred and Ruth, in the winter, often skated across the Lake to go to church. One time as they started out Fred fell thru, so she told him to give her his skates and go back home and change clothes. Fred, as a boy, loved to fish, and of course he had a good fishing lake just east of his home on Shaw Lake Road. At that time, the lake was owned by a man called Pratt, so it was called Pratt Lake. He didn’t like anyone fishing in his lake, so Fred would have to sneak in, hoping Mr. Pratt wouldn’t see him. His house was built on a hill overlooking the lake, so he could see pretty good. Fred would sneak in and catch a good mess of fish. Probably tasted better, because he put one over on the old man. Mr. Pratt later sold his property to a man from England named Shaw. That’s why it is now Shaw Lake. Fred brought out two of his old report cards, one 1912-13 and one 1913-14. The principal in 1912-13 was Edna V. Smith and the assistant was Lucille Smith (no relative.) The principal in 1913-94 was Rhea B. Allen and the Assistant was Frances B. Packard. O. S. Flannigan was superintendent. Fred remembers him because he was cross-eyed. He also brought his sister’s “Course of Study” for 19111912. In those days they had few teachers and they taught at least 2, or mostly 3. subjects. For instan­ ce, in high school they taught 8 subjects, with 3 teachers. In the grades they had 4 teachers, each teacher taught 2 grades. 1-2, 3-4. etc. Then they had one music teacher for all grades. I was interested in the graduating classes from 1881 to 1911: 1881, seven; 1882, three; 1883, four; 1884, six; 1885. three; 1886. four; 1887, four; 1888, eight; 1889. eight; 1890, four; 1891, one; 1982, eleven; 1893, fourteen; 1894, ten; 1895, eleven; 1896. thirteen; 1987, nine; 1898. ten; 1899. none; 1900, two; 1901, five; 1902, five; 1903, eight; 1904. two; 1905, three; 1906, seven; 1907, eight; 1908, four; 1909, six; 1910, seven and 1911, five. Sure is a dif­ ference in the percentage of the class that starts out and finishes in those days. I saw a lot of familiar Middleville names. It even gives a Library Catalog. I showed this to Librarians Judy Cain and Mary Ecker and they still have some of the same books liste in 1911-1912 on their shelves. Ruth, Fred’s sister, was unable to teach one day at Klinginsmith School. So Fred said it would be no problem, he’d go and teach for her. What a vacation the kids all had that day! After Fred graduated from high school, he went to McNaughton’s Business College - later Mc­ Naughton Davenport, then just Davenport College. He worked at various jobs during the year to earn money to go to college in the summer. It was held only in the summer. * Fred’s dad went in to find a place for Fred to live. It was the Quaker Inn on Lyon Street. He and three other boys lived in the attic. The beds were all around the walls with a pool table in the middle. The boys would get to arguing about who was the best player - even in the middle of the night. Until the landlady objected to the balls whacking. She baked beans for many restaurants and Fred said it smelled good at first - but he got later so he couldn’t look a baked bean in the face. He worked at various drugstores at their cigar counters. He then was offered a job working for Laurelard Tobacco Co. out of Detroit, so he took it. When he told his parents, they had fits - they figured he was too much of a greenhorn. He arrived there Sunday evening, saw a stairway advertising rooms, so went in and got one. On the way up to his room the elevator boy asked him if he could get him a girl. Fred said no and went to bed. When he repor­ ted for work Monday morning, his boss found out where he was staying and got him out of there pron­ to. With the job, he was given a brand new Model T truck and was to tour the Northern lower Michigan lumber camps. He then became based out of Bay City. This was where he met and married Belle, who had been born and raised in Bay City. His folks, Oliver and Carolyn, sister and hubby, Ruth and Jake Schad, came up to visit them frequently. Fred then went to work for Chrysler for 14 years. He quit in 1938. Buying a deluxe new blue car - having bumpers and windshield wipers (making it deluxe) for $843. Then he and Belle and Betty moved to Barlow Lake, tearing down the old farm house by the Coman School on Shaw Lake and Norris Road to buil his cottage. Later he started his present home with Frank Chapman laying the bricks. So Belle and Fred have lived a very rich fruitful life here in our area. Fred still works with wood a lit­ tle. Belle is always so proud to show you the lovely dol1 swing Fred made for her. �Prairie Sketches with LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE V __________ ____________ J Don and Rose Caton had company for about four days last week when his folks, Mr. and Mrs. GeorgeCaton, came up from Virginia for a visit. Don and rose showed them around the Middleville area and took them to Bowens Mill. Ed and Katie Wieringa had grandsons Jeremy and Jason ride their bikes out from Grand Rapids last Thursday. They stayed until Saturday and their dad came out to pick them up. Saturday Nick Wheeler went with the Little Leaguers to Detroit to the Tiger ball game. Sunday Lena Moeller and her mom went to Har­ wood Lake and had pizza with Ed and Pat Moeller and some other relatives. Mike Schipper was home from Kalamazoo from the week end. Bill Downey of Harwood Lake has been visiting his mother in Illinois this past week. Henry and Bette Hoekstra and family just retur­ ned from their vacation at a cottage near Munising. Sunday afternoon the Wes Van Rhee family went to a graduation open house for Don Lynch. It was almost predictable. With company from Friday noon until Monday morning (just a few hours off for sleeping) I (Lois) have talked myself right out of a voice again. Our reunion was fantastic. We had 22 extras overnight on Friday - and (I think) 37 on Saturday 75-80 for Saturday night supper and 147 counted off at the noon meal at Steiners on Sunday. There was also a ’'campground’’ at Steiners and extras at the homes of our children’s families. All eight of the remaining ‘‘originals’’ of our sisters and brothers were on hand — we cover five states now — plus three out of four of Tom’s family members. We just don’t compile too many statistics on the amount of food and beverage consumed, the towels and toilet paper used, because it would be too much - we only know that we look forward to every aspect from the anticipation to the complete exhaustion. The Mitch Szubert family of Illinois and the But­ ch Prohaska family of Oklahoma stayed on at the Steiners for a few days of quiet country life. A sad first for reunion time, however, was that our widowed brother-in-law suffered a stroke Sunday af­ ternoon and is now a patient at Pennock Hospital. In retrospect, a blessing. I guess, that it didn't hap­ pen while he was driving here (alone) or at his apar­ tment where he is also alone. Love is more than words - it’s action - and now we must put it to fur­ ther use. That’s twice in the past year I’ve ridden with the local ambulance crew and again I am impressed with their speed and with their calm efficiency. These are some of the young men we cheered for in high school athletics when ours were in school. Now caring and responsible adults, they give of their time to learn a second occupation aside from how they earn their living to render this service to their community. I salute them all. Have a happy and safe Fourth of July • we’ll have to get the paper out early next week, so hopefully. I’ll be calling over the weekend and will find one or two of you at home. Alaska Teen Selected to Run in State Pageant The Sun and New>, Middleville.

Ml I June 28.1984 Surprise Birthday Last Sunday, Mrs. Margie Miller was taken out for dinner by Lois, Joe, Kathy and Tammy Miller, then returned to her residence which is Sandy Creek Margie Miller Reaches 90 Nursing Home. Thinking they would just go to her room and visit a bit, Margie was encouraged to go into one of the dining rooms where they could sit more comfortably. A little reluctant, she went with them and upon entering the room thought “what a lot of people.” She soon learned that her family and friends had gathered to wish her a happy 90th bir­ thday. A beautiful birthday cake, two chocolate cakes, punch, coffee, mints and nuts adorned the table. Those present were Glen and Bea Miller, Bill, Judy, Heidi and Heather Miller, Kit, Jane, Erin and Megan Roon, John and Edith Miller, Dave, Mary and Brian Miller, Tammy McAlary, Gordie, Sue, Kris and David Timm, Al Miller, Bob, Mary, Jamie and Joel Miller. George and Henrietta Miller, Muri and Frances Streeter, Gale, Margaret and Maxine Truax, Fern Nardin and two grandchildren, Siefert Larsen, Lois Rider, Reka Russell, Chet Bostwick, and a few others, totaling 45 in all. Margie was one surprised lady, and after opening gifts and enjoying the food she tried to thank everyone for coming, the gifts, the beautiful table and food - but said years ago she could talk all the time and now couldn't think of a thing to say except a great big thank you to all who were there, for the cards she received, gifts, and just having everyone there to make it such a memorable day. We all thank you, mom, for the wonderful lady you are. We all love you very much and hope you ’ll have many more birthdays as great as this one. Michael and Sylvia ST.

Kentwood, Ml 49508 Children ages 6-12 are invited to drob by the Caledonia Branch of the Kent County Library next week to submit entries for the TEAM '84 summer reading program’s “Craziest Contests." There will be five contests in all and kids are encouraged to join them all. "The contests focus on sports themes and are designed to hook the kids into visiting the library and participate in the summer reading clubs," said mary Frydrych, Childrens Services Coordinator. "Summer reading for children, particularly in the 612 age range, is critical in that it helps these children to retain important reading vocabulary and comprehension skills developed during the regular school year. Not to mention, the contests are a lot of fun." All correct entries will receive Burger King gift certificates which will be presented at branch award ceremonies marking the end of the TEAM ‘84 sum­ mer programs in August. �P|, 121 The Sun and Newt, Middterih, Ml I June 28,1984 Z— .....

The group finished as one of the top 9 teams in dairy judging competition in the state of Michigan. Representing Caledonia FFA at the event were Alan Steeby, advisor, Jim Good and Thad Wenger. Over 80 youth and their advisors attended the day-long program which emphasized the use of computers on the dairy farm. The group heard ex­ planations of how the micro-computer can be used for more efficient management and about a new computerized herd mating service available from MABC. MABC-Select Sires is a farmer owned and con­ trolled artificial insemination cooperative serving the genetic improvement needs of cattle breeders throughout Michigan, Indiana and northern Wisconsin.

Good health, appreciation of nature, concern for the fellow man are qualities available to everyone. Giving a pint of blood is an heroic act which costs nothing more than an hour’s time and a little effort. Something else in the category of worthwhile ac­ complishments gained by an investment of a little time and effort is Recycling. More and more Barry County residents are discovering how easy and satisfying it is to get the recycle habit for disposing of their glass and metals at the two county collec­ tion sites (Middle Mart in Middleville and the Hastings Fire Station Parking lot in Hastings - also Caledonia Foods). Many of the areas master gardeners also practice another form of recycling: composting. The rewards are the same as for the other resource recycling: conservation of energy resources, extension of lan­ dfill life, and, in addition, enrichment of the soil at little - or no - cost. The home compost pile turns leaves, grass clippings, kitchen scraps, pine needles, etc., into a nutritious material which can be used as a mulch or mixed directly into the soil. A home compost pile should be enclosed by some type of fence (cement block, boards or wire). It consists of 3 to 6 inch layers of organic material (clippings, etc.) alternating witn one inch layers of top soil. The time needed to break down the organic material will vary from a few weeks to many months, depending on various factors. There are many methods of com­ posting which are described in detail in books at the library or in Bulletin E;727 available from the local Cooperative Extension Servuce at 301 S. Michigan in Hastings (948-8039). If you are a gardener, invest the time and effort in a home compost pile and enjoy the results! ..

That’s what a panel of judges declared recently when they selected JoHannah as the state 4-H Tele­ award winner in the category of public speaking during Exploration Days at Michigan State Univer­ sity. Winning that honor makes her eligible to com­ pete for scholarships in national competition in November. JoHannah's state victory is the first time in six years that a Barry County 4-H member has been a state winner. “I wasn't expecting it.” she said of the state award. “I was nervous getting ready for it (com­ petition) the night before and walking over (to where the competition was held).. but during the com­ petition I didn’t feel nervous. It was informal and we were all talking. For the contest, JoHannah gave two extem­ poraneous speeches, one on the topic of how con­ fidence can be gained in 4-H, and another concer­ ning how families and communities benefit from 4H. A total of eight youth competed on the state level in the public speaking category of the 4-H Tel-award contest. Judges were members of the State 4-H com­ munications committee and last year’s state winner. JoHannah earned the right to compete by being named a district winner. Four other Barry County 4H’ers were also district winners and competed on the state level in other areas such as agriculture, home management, horse and pony, and dairy goats. 4-H’ers apply for the district contest at the county level and are required to complete complex report forms telling about everything they’ve accom­ plished in 4-H. JoHanna, who attends Thornapple Kellogg High School and is the daughter of Holly and Bruce Steiner of Bowens Mill Road, is an active Barry County 4-H member. She is affiliated with three dif­ ferent clubs, serves on the county 4-H advisory council and is a member of the state 4-H rules and regulations developmental horse sub-committee. She will soon serve on the state teen leaders sub­ committee and hopes she’ll also be able to be on the state communications committee. A 4-H member for seven years. JoHannah belongs to the Trail Dusters 4-H Club,, the Middleville Clovers Livestock Club and the Rabbit Habit Club. She has been involved in public speaking projects with all three in addition to doing craft and photography projects and horses, beef and rabbit projects Getting into public speaking projects was not something she planned deliberately. "It was just one of those things you fall into.” she said Her first 4-H public speaking experience was at the Lake Odessa Fair about four years ago. Three families from her 4-H Club were showing horses there, and they encouraged JoHannah to talk about horses while she was grooming a horse Since then, she has given speeches at such places as the Barry County Fair and plans to again at this summer’s event which takes place July 15-21.

I keep thinking that one day soon I'll have time to really enjoy summer — my favorite time of year. Even these beautiful long days don’t seem to have enough hours to get everything done. This year we re not doing much to fill the freezer and the canning jars, nor do we have the outdoor plants and lawns (fortunately — Don is finding that he can do quite a lot with one good arm. but there are some jobs, such as pushing a lawn mower, that require two hands). Much of our “spare” time is now being spent out at our building site or checking out some of our op­ tions on everything from floors to plumbing fixtur­ es. Never having built a house before, I don’t think either of us realized what a lot of decisions we must make. We feel very lucky to have son Mike to advise us (and do much of the legwork, telephoning, etc.) on the many technical details in an energy efficient house such as we re building. The house is really going very well, and we re very excited about it. The hard part is trying to be patient! Several more recipes for our cookbook have been sent or brought to me in the past few days. We (Mrs. Bremer and I) are trying to get them ready for prin­ ting in the next couple of months. There is still much work to be done, but we think we can do it. Emily VanMatre brought in some recipes of her own. some from daughter Holly Steiner and gran­ ddaughter JoHannah. Our thanks to all three of them. I’ve chosen this one from Holly for pickled carrots to pass on to you this week.

Ml I July 5.1984 Down Memory Lane WITH NORMA VELDERMAN The Prairie School District 3 Recently Norma Velderman received a letter from readers in Florida asking "Just where the old Prairie School was ” — on the comer of Cherry Valley and Adams, or on the corner of Cherry Valley and Jackson Roads ? Here is Norma's reply. Dear Betty, Clarence Rosenberg and Leona Gibbs in Florida, Sorry it took me so long to answer, but I looked up as many dates as possible. Fortunately for me. Art Kenyon has the Prairie School Book from 1865. You all are correct, both schools are the Prairie School District No. 3. The one mentioned in Mer­ cedes’ article of 1950 - on Cherry Valley and Adams Roads, was the first Prairie School. According to the history book, Thornapple District 3 was formed in 1845. But we can find no book of that time. History books say most schools in this area of 1860 were log cabins. So we can only assume our Prairie was also. The picture was of the second Prairie School on Jackson and Cherry Valley. The first recorded meeting in the book was Sep­ tember 4, 1865. They proceeded with this meeting as if they were all familiar with School Board meetings. So we can only assume they had a school soon after 1845 - no records to prove or disprove. Sample meeting: September 4, 1865. The annual meeting of the legal voters of District No. 3 Thornapple Twp . assembled at the school house at 7 o'clock. The meeting was called to order by Geo. Lewis, who was elected chairman, the moderator being absent. The annual report of the District Board was read by the Director. W. N. Vanevery was elected moderator for the next three years. RESOLVED that we rescind the vote taken to move the School House site voted the last meeting. RESOLVED that we have a new floor in the school house, NOTICE TO CALEDONIA LOCKER RESOLVED that we have pine boards (plained) and matched from five to eight inches wide, RESOLVED that we rescind the vote taken to plain and mach the floor, RESOLVED that we have pine good common lumber (plain) and jointed RESOLVED that we use the ten dollars raised to build a school house for repairing this one, RESOLVED we raise ten dollars for contingent money RESOLVED we have eight months school thru the year RESOL VED we have a man for the winter school RESOLVED we have a woman teacher thru the summer RESOLVED that we raise 50- to each scholar returned RESOLVED that for each scholar attending school, each scholar furnish half cord of wood delivered at theschool house by the first of Novem­ ber, the wood to be two foot in length and split for the stove RESOLVED that we adjourn Jonah Griffeth, Director According to all we can read, most people were not used to the idea that all citizens were responsible for all children’s education. The rich took care of their on family with boarding schools, etc., but the average person couldn't afford that. President Jef­ ferson got the public school laws passed by Congress during his time, but Michigan was not a state then. Even in 1842, most school districts in our part of the state had no schools. During the panic of 1837 there was no money for schools, not much state land sold. In 1850 Federal Congress gave to the State of Michigan 5,838,775 acres of state land. Money received from the sale of this land was added to the Primary Schools fund. The state kept this money, paying 5% interest each year to each school district in proportion to the number of students attending school. So there was quite a bit of resistance on the part of some of the early pioneers against taxation for this purpose. To be eligible for this Primary Fund money, the school district had to have so many months of school. So all regular board meetings specified a number of months in winter taught by a male - so many months in summer by a female. You notice in the sample board meeting here, they put in a new floor with the money voted for the pur­ chase of a new site, all of $10.00. All thru the meetings, someone was pushing for a new school and site. Once a committee of three was appointed to procure a site, but it was voted down. So they voted to turn over the $75 - voted on but rejected - to the supervisor to raise by taxing all property in the school district. That carried. Then at another meeting, a site just north of the then Prairie School was suggested but lost. It would have been halfway between Adams and Cherry Valley corner and Bob and Helen Wenger’s farm. Then in September 1870 they appointed a commit­ tee of three to select a site and bring back for ap­ proval or disapproval. Members were Aaron Clark, George C. Lewis and J. C. Bray. On October 5, 1870, the board had that special Imeeting and approved the site on the SE *4 corner of NE l4 Section 29- on Jackson and Cherry Valley Roads. Then they voted to raise, by taxes, eleven hundred dollars to pur­ chase the site and build the school. $600 was raised in 1870 and $500 in 1871. The five committee mem­ bers were C. W. Collins, R. Goodspeed, George Cook, J. C. Bray and Geo. C. Lewis. They never wrote up a meeting, if there was one held to approve the plans submitted for a new school. So far as I can determine, the new school was built some time after October 5, 1870 and before September 7,1872, because at that time they voted to buy a bell for the school. Then nothing more said about the new school except in 1874 they were to plant 40 maple trees, mulching around them and holding down the mulch with stones. And each tree was to be suitably staked. In conclusion, after a rambling history’ lesson: Prairie School District No. 3 - Adams and Cherry Valley Road there from 1845(7) to 1870 (log cabin)? Prairie School No. 3 - Jackson and Cherry Valley Road 1870 to 1900? (something I haven't looked up yet). It was pictured the frame school. Later on I’ll put in the names of some of the students, their names, ages and the year. Thanks for your interest, and I m very pleased that you wrote to me - then I could have the fun of delving in old records.

MkMmh. Ml I Mt 5.1984 CAPITOL COLUMN BY DICK POSTHUMUS, 31st District State Senator Protection for Great Lakes Water Underway America is drying up. The water supply is dwin­ dling, demand is accelerating, and things are not going to get any better. Suddenly, the importance of the Great Lakes is increasing. They provide 95 percent of all the sur­ face fresh Water in the United states, and serve as a source of recreation, industry and power for the Midwest. Undoubtedly, that role will increase dramatically in the coming years. According to a U.S.-Canadian Joint Commission study, Great I^akes water consumption will increase to 16.4 billion gallons daily by the year 2035. In 1975, that rate was 3.2 billion gallons. That increase would result in a nine-inch drop in the water level, devastating shipping and hydroelectric power capability. In addition to the increased regional use, arid Western states are eyeing the Great Lakes for future irrigation purposes. At a recent meeting in Ontario, representatives of the dry states predicted they will be negotiating for Great Lakes water by the turn of the century. There is a silver lining to this looming cloud, however. Legislation has been introduced in Washington that would order the Environmental Protection Agency to study ways to protect the lakes from water raids by thirst-belt states. Also, a Midwest legislator has sponsored the $10 million Save-the-Lakes Act, which would coordinate monitoring activities of the lake. It would also ad­ dress some of the major threats to the area, such as the accumulation of toxic materials in the food chain, loss of habitat and failure of the U. S. Gover­ nment to live up to international agreements on water quality and treatment. It is comforting to know that the future of our most precious resource is being protected. The effort will take, however, participation by both federal and state authorities. With our combined input, we decrease the chance that our lifeblood will disappear before our very eyes, and increase the probability of a workable, profitable water resource management plan. New Elementary Principal Selected for Caledonia An Illinois educator from Michigan has been selected to become an elementary principal in the Caledonia Community Schools. Dr. Donald M. Lazarus will step into the post beginning July 1. Dr. Lazarus was an elementary principal of Willowbrook School. Glenview/Northbrook, Illinois.

I haven’t lived in any other country so can't compare but am glad we re here. Got to thinking about early remembrances of the holiday, and one came out loud and clear - Cracker Jack! Probably we were quite poor but unaware of it because we certainly had plenty of playmates in our brothers and sisters, lots of love and caring and plenty to eat — but that box of Cracker Jack on special occasions (like the orange in the sock at Christmas) stands out like a beacon. Last week the Virgil Adams family celebrated the birthdays of two grandchildren, Gina Adams and Kacy Weatherford, with Myrna s family, Carlton Adams and Sandy Oudman in attendance. Sunday afternoon callers of Clifford and Jennie Davis were daughter Dr. and Mrs. R. Jack Chase, granddaughter Cynthia Woller and her three children. Two weeks ago, Virgil and Myrtle Adams atten­ ded his 50th Class Reunion from Middleville High. Virgil and Russell Palmer are the only two men left in the group. The Dave Enders family celebrated son Brian's fifth birthday on Thursday with cake and ice cream.

The Phil Bender family enjoyed a short trip to Cedar Point last week. Dave and Sue Enders and boys left Saturday for four days camping at Traverse City. A lot of time has been spent the past week by family members in visiting brother-in-law John at Pennock. He has made some improvement following the stroke and is nqw a patient at the Medical Care Facility. We do thank all of you for your prayers and concern on his behalf, and for the encouraging word and/or advice from those of you who have gone through a similar experience. A sampler comes to mind that says "Dear Lord, please give me patience - and I want it NOW" for that is what we are forced to learn. We look for immediate answers to so many questions that just need more time. Each day the Sesquicentennial celebration grows closer by leaps and bounds, and many of us are wondering about old fashioned dresses. How about if those of you who possess old fashioned gowns just get them out and try them on for size.... so if you iren't that size any more, maybe we can work out an exchange system. Hope all of you had a safe and happy holiday. Memories Will Linger of Greece and Greek Islands Returning from their 10-day tour of Greece and the Greek Islands, twenty adults and students from the Middleville and Hastings area have memories that will last nearly as long as the Parthenon.

We desperately needed rain foi all the growing things, but all the fireworks and sound effects didn't really do much for a good night's sleep. This week Don and I are house sitting for Irv and JoAnne Timm while they are on vacation, and it’s much more nerve wracking trying to take good care of someone else's lovely new home than if we were in our own home, but if the lawn didn’t wash into the creek during the storm, we may manage to keep everything under pretty good control until the Timms get home. There are lots of new things out here that we have never had an opportunity to try before, including a water bed. I think I may be a convert. As so many of our friends say, it is so comfortable and it does seem that as we get older, we need every aid to get our bones and muscles operating as they should every morning. I ’m delighted to report that Mrs. Bremer and I are making what we consider pretty good progress on our cookbook project. We’re now setting the copy and proofreading recipes that were in the “Sun'’ during the 1970*s. It's fun, and I made a dessert for Sunday dinner from one of them that I had totally forgotten.

Sat., June 28, at Skagway, to leave our boat and all friends we had made. We will spend Sunday at Skagway, all boardwalks and quaint stores. We had lunch at the Skagway Saloon, no drinks, a good restaurant. Next stop, Whitehorse the gold rush city. Many falls, high mountains and snow covered. We are now 3,290 feet and still going up on the AlCan Highway. Changing time again. Whitehorse has a population of 16,000 and today is one of Canada’s holidays. Went to sleep to the noise of fireworks. Whitehorse is the capital of the Yukon Territory, still in the land of the midnight sun. Monday. July 2. It has been daylight all night. Left Whitehorse and headed for Beaver Creek, our next overnight stop. Mining is the chief occupation, tourism second. We are still traveling on the Al-Can highway. Many travelers going our way with cam­ pers and house trailers over the bumpy, dusty and muddy spots in the repair zones. Next stop Kluane Lake with terrible mosquitoes. Arrived at Beaver Creek at 6 o'clock. Tuesday. July 3 and one week gone already. We had daylight all night. Headed for Fairbanks, soon will be in Alaska. Ray Rider has been making us willow whistles gathered along the way. Now to Tok Junction for lunch. International Line and customs at 9:40. We are traveling through huge forests.hills and snow covered mountains. We have a new name “The '49 era of '84 from Michigan.’’ Our driver sang the Alaska song to us and presen­ ted us with the Alaskan Flag - big dipper and north star. Some repair along the roads as summer is the working time. Leading industry in Tok is dog racing with 6 dog teams. Left the Al-Can highway on our way to Fairbanks on the Richardson highway. Beautiful scenery and smooth. Saw the Alaskan pipeline. This is covered with an insulation to keep cool in summer and warmer in winter. Traveling through moose country - saw a moose cow drinking from a pond. We saw Santa Claus at the North Pole. Now seeing traffic lights and 2-lane highways, more civilized. At Fairbanks at 6:30, dinner and early to bed. July 4 in Fairbanks and ready to leave on our boat cruise down the Tanana River. It is 61° and beautiful sunshine. This is a stern wheeler called River Boat Discovery. Our captain and his family BETTY'S have run the boat for 45 years. Saw many log houses built on the hillsides, only $75,000. Now on the Cheva River, very swift with many rapids. We stopped at an Indian home and village to see the furs and salmon fish houses. They are built on three levels, the lower level starts the smoking, level 2 not so hot and the 3rd level all done, ready to put on the drying racks. They use wood and hickory bark for smoking salmon. Never dark here, now 11:00 and just like daylight. December sunrise 10:00 and sunset at 2:30. Had a big surprise when we got back to the dock and hotel. Lyle Sanborn and Jane were there to meet Gladys Eaton (Hastings) and me to take us out to dinner and a tour of the dty. You will remember Glen and Bertha Sanborn of Caledonia. Lyle is their son. We went out to the Pump House for dinner. Now on our way to see the Alaska pipeline. The pipes are 4' in diameter. They run from Fairbanks to Valdez, then hauled away on freighters. Lyle and Jane have been in Fairbanks for 15 years. He is parts man for the Chevrolet-Buick garage. They took us out to the North Pole shop­ ping, another Frankenmuth. Then we went to see their son and family and were at Lyle's home on the lake. Back to the hotel to attend a ‘salmon bake.* This was held out in old mining country. We went through the mine entrance to a large eating place in the open. They cooked the food out in the open - a good meal. July 5 we travel to Denali Park by rail, a 3 hour ride through hills, vales and beautiful scenery. 61* and raining. We crossed Mears Memorial bridge and saw where Harding drove the golden spike for the railroad in 1923. Arrived at Denali for our overnight stay, then for the Wilderness Park ride. Saw many moose and babies, a red fox was coming down the road with some prey in his mouth. Saw many moun­ tain sheep in flocks, one mother will nurse many lambs. Now a caribou on the hillside. Our driver was real good and stopped for us to take pictures and see the animals. Rest area at the halfway point and a six hour ride total. Next will be a two-day stop at An­ chorage.

Michigan Bell will still be able to handle the call as in the past But if you call from Detroit to Traverse City (from a city in one IAEA to a city in a different LATA). a long distance company other than Michigan Bell will earn the call As you may know, there are now a number of different companies you may choose from to provide your tong distance senice Long distance discount periods.

The effort is being conducted by the USDA Soil Conservation Service and the Michigan Dept, of Agriculture, in cooperation with the county. Mem­ bers of the survey team will be taking soil samplings throughout the county on a township-by-township basis. • After completing that study, the data will be compiled, providing an extensive inventory of local soils, plus maps showing the soil patterns and their Conditions in the county. There are 358,458 ares in Barry County with ap­ proximately 335,000 of them under private owner­ ship. The last such survey done locally was in 1932 but was a ‘general one* lacking the details that are currently desired by government agencies and private concerns. Once completed and readied for public use, the in­ ventory and map would be of value to such agencies and concerns as agriculturists, residential and commercial developers, realtors, health officials, planning commissions, the equalization depar­ tment, the drain commissioner's office, and to woodland, recreation and wildlife interests. Friday’s “First Acre” ceremony was hosted by Frank Brown, a member of the county Soil and Water Conservation District and his wife Alice at their farm on 10200 Garbow Road. Among those in attendance and offering remarks at the ceremony were Paul Kindinger, director of the state Dept, of Agriculture; State Rep. Robert Ben­ der from Middleville, County Commissioners James Oorddon, Rae Hoare and Ted McKelvey; Jim Fish, chairman of the county SWCD; Audrey Burdick, county drain commissioner; Homer Hilner, state conservationist with the USDA Soil Conservation Service; Dr. Robert Gast, director of the MSU Agriculture Experiment Station; Robert Shaffer, Bill Perkis, Greg Thoen and Karl Hausler (from left) choose the spot for the first sampling. Thor­ napple Township is one of the first three in the county to be surveyed in this four-year project. director of the Barry-Eaton Health Dept.; and John Ainslie, director of the county equalization depar­ tment. Also in attendance locally were Winifred Keller, director of the county planning and zoning depar­ tment; John Lerg, district wildlife biologist for the Dept, of Natural Resources, Donna Wohlford, coor­ dinator for the county SWCD; Joe Lukasiewicz, district conservationist for the USDA Soil Conser­ vation Service; Kenneth DePriest, soil technician for the USDA Soil Conservation service; and David Chase and Robert Casey, board members of the county SWCD. Following the remarks the three members of the survey team — Karl Hausler of the Michigan Dept, of Agriculture and Bil Perkis and Greg Thoen, both of the USDA Soil Conservation Service — chose a spot on the Brown farm for the commemorative boring. Rep. Bender than had the honor of taking the survey s first sampling. Ag Director Kindinger, in his talk, said that Barry County was one of several in the state which are conducting a soil survey. "The greatest resource we have here (in Michigan) is our soil and climate,” he said. “We have to use this resource wisely. “What we're doing is putting together a picture of what we have here," Kindinger added. “This pic­ ture will hopefully allow us to more wisely manage our soils, not only for ourselves, but for our gran­ dchildren and our great-grandchildren. Rep. Bender, in his remarks, echoed those sen­ timents and stressed the survey’s importance to the farming community. “We know the value of this survey and how it can help farmers," he said. “As they say, you can’t tell the players without a program and having this detailed inventory on our soils will be a big service to the agriculture community. “Also they’re not making any more land and it’s important that we take care of the land we have,’’ he noted. "This survey will help us do that." Bender said that the survey is the result of cooperative efforts on the federal, state and local levels. “I know a lot of teamwork went into the planning to get this survey here,” he explained. “The fruits of that effort are about to be born. ’’ The overall cost of the project is put at around $500,000 with the federal, state and county gover­ nments each covering a certain share. The local share will be $11,642 a year for a total of $46,500. That figure is arrived at by multiplying the county’s 1982 census by 25 cents.

Caledonia Happy 60’s The Caledonia Happy 60 Club had a real nice float in the June 30 Independence Day celebration It was a five foot cake, assembled by Rose Rudy, daughter of Lillian Schultz, on a 2 ft. high base made by Mike Burri, Lillian's grandson. It was on a hay wagon and all decorated with birthday trims and posters adver­ tising the Club’s 20th anniversary in September. There will be a potluck dinner with several senior citizen groups invited. The ‘‘float’’ cake is being preserved and stored in Lillian’s garage to be displayed at the birthday par­ ty. Sixteen senior citizens came out to Ed and Sara Colburn’s home to assemble and trim the float, then had a potluck dinner. The large crowd gathered for the parade thought they might get a piece of the We want to thank our friends, Ed and Sara, for the use of their wagon and tractor, and also Ed for being dur chauffeur.

There are over 25 merchants participating in the event that will take place in downtown Caledonia, Kinsey Street, on Cherry Valley and Hastings Public Library 121 Church Hastings, KI 49053 at the Caledonia Village Centre. Each of the businesses will have specials for the event and will establish their own hours for the event. See this week's paper for some of their advertising messages. The Sun and News Your Hometown Newspaper Serving Middleville and Caledonia 114th YEAR • TWENTY CENTS MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 NO. 29 • JULY 19,1984 Charge Middleville Man in Shooting Last Saturday night, a dispute over a dog led a Middleville man to allegedly shoot his Crane Road neighbor. John W. Howell, 65. 8315 Crane Road, was charged with intent to commit murder at his arraignment in District Court on Monday. He stood mute and a preliminary hearing has been set for next Monday. He was released on a 110,000 per­ sonal recognizance bond. James D. Robertson. 37, 8200 Crane Road, was struck by birdshot from the shotgun and taken to Pennock Hospital by ambulance. He suffered in­ juries to his back and face and was released on Monday. According to Middleville Police Officer Boyd Cain, Howell had confined Robertson’s dog that had come onto his property. When Robertson came to take his dog, Howell allegedly shot him as he was leaving with the animal. Take Cigarets, Drugs From Local Stores Sometime between 4 and 5:30 a.m. last Monday morning, someone broke into the SAv-Mor Super­ market and Pharmacy Care building, taking cigarets and an unknown quantity of drugs. The Middleville Police Department reports that entry was gained by breaking a lock on the north­ west corner of the supermarket. A window into the adjacent Pharmacy Care was also broken to gain en­ try into that store. Officer Boyd Cain said that about 20 cartons of Winston Cigarets were taken from the store and drugs from the pharmacy. The incident is still under investigation and there are no suspects in the case. No Sun & News Next Week Next week, the Sun and News will be closed for the employees’ annual vacation. There will be no newspaper published next week and the office will re-open for business on Monday, July 30. Dry cleaning drop-offs and pick-ups can be made at Mason’s Hardware on Main Street. The Middleville Village Council is expected to pass a resolution at their next meeting officially declaring Middleville's 150th Anniversary. Local people have been working since last year preparing for the Sesquicentennial Celebration set for the week of September 24-30. Some of the celebration leaders joined Village President Robert Sullivan at the village limits sign that shows the town is holding its Sesquicentennial. From left. Rod Kenyon, parade chairman, Sullivan, and Celebration Co-chairmen Leo Verlinde and Rod Finkbeiner. Kenyon reported that the mayors of Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Battle Creek have all agreed to ride stagecoaches from their respective communities and join in the September 29 parade. Back in Mid­ dleville's early days, it was the “midway" point for the stagecoach runs between these Western Michigan cities. ‘Past Lives Again 'at Bowens Mills "The Past Lives Again" at Historic Bowens Mills as another day of old fashioned family fun takes place this Saturday, July 21, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. A full schedule of old fashioned activities, arts and crafts show. Market Square, etc., are planned, along with tours of the mill. The day will climax with a 7 p.m. gospel concert. The big event of the day will be the launching of an old Gun Lake LapsUake boat. The launch, which is about 18 ft. long and has a 54 inch beam, was built by Win Matteson Sr. It was donated to Historic Bowens Mill by the builders' son. Win Matteson Jr. of Matteson Marina. The Mattesons were some of the early settlers of the South Gun Lake area, coming here from New York State in the late 1870’s. Win Sr. was born in 1880 and started serving as a guide around Gun Lake about the turn of the cen­ tury. He also liked to make boats. There was so much interest in his launches that in about 1920 he went into the boat building business. His son. Win, Jr, said his dad built somewhere between 30 and 40 of the Lapstrake boats; however, at the present time only about 3 can be accounted for. A ride in the old boat would be a way to get a beaufitul reflection pic­ ture of the mill. At one of the concession stands, the Thornapple Heritage Association will hold a bake sale, with proceeds going towards their part of the Middleville Sesquicentennial Celebration coming up in Septem­ ber. The blacksmith shop and water powered machine shop will be open and ready for trade just as though it were 1864 again. As usual, there will be old time demonstrations including spinning, weaving, plus the Civil War team with their black powder cannon. Food is always available and old time music can be beard most of the time. The Old Fashion Gospel Concert at 7 p.m. will feature Dawn Healey and Brian Fifelski, plus Chris Bellisle and Don Prewitt of the Sacrifice of Praise. In case of rain, the concert will be held at the nearby Note of Praise, 12223 Chief Noonday Road. A love offering is accepted. Gate admission is SI.00 which is used to keep the grounds and help with the restoration. As in the olden days, the Old Mill must pay its way. �P|. 21 Thi Sun and Neva MkkMte, Ml/Jdy 19,1964 at your Public Library by CHRIS BOYSEN Public Library Assistant X__________________ —__________________ * Those who have read Leon Uris' books rarely forget them. He has the ability to make the reader care about his characters. Uris has recently written a new book, Haj, so I’d like to take this opportunity to preview his new books, review and critique his previous works, and provide you with some background on Uris himself. Book reviewers have been critical of Uris* writings in the past. Some say his dialogue can be wooden and his writing is simplistic. Most of them concede, however, that Uris is a master storyteller. Uris has been able to make his readers live historical events and relate them to today. Perhaps this is a result of Uris’ extensive research before writing each book. Before Exodus was written, Uris read more than 300 books, interviewed 1,200 people and traveled 12,000 miles inside Israel. No wonder I feel as though I've personally visited all the places he writes about. Leon Uris was born August 3, 1924 in Baltimore, Maryland. He received his high school diploma from the public schools of this city. He served in the Marine Corps and worked as a newspaper driver before becoming a full time author in 1950. He is currently married to photographer Jill Peabody. His previous books include: A rmageddon Set in Berlin at the end of W W11. Sean O'Sullivan, an American captain responsible for the military government nurses a fierce hatred of the Germans. He is faced with a dilemma when he falls in love with a German girl. Battit Cry. This is the story of a platoon belonging to the U. S. 6th Marine battalion. The book begins with the gathering of men for boot camp as they prepare for fighting in Guadalcanal in 1942. Exodus. Uris tells the story of the Zionists long struggle to establish the young nation of Isreal. A young American gentile nurse falls in love with one of the leaders of the cause. Mila 18. This story takes place during WWII in the ghetto of Warsaw. For 42 days and nights the Jews of this ghetto hold off the German nazis as they plan for the systematic extermination of all the Jews. QBII. Libel is the charge that results in a lawsuit between a knighted doctor in London and a best selling American Author. The real issue is not defamation of name but one of duty and respon­ sibility of man to fellow man. Topat. A Russian defector tells of Topaz, an espionage network operating inside the French government for the Soviet Union. His problem is getting the French and Americans to believe him. Trinity. Set in Ireland spanning the years of 1840 to 1916, this is the story of Conor larkin, a Catholic farmer who falls in love with a Protestant girl. I enjoyed reading all of these books and believe they are all worthwhile. Don’t let the length deter you(some are in excess of 500 pages). They read quickly. Be prepared for some explicit scenes and language as well as gruesome details of some of the battles. Frequent editorializing by Uris, some com­ plain, is evident. Uris* new book, Haj, is once again set in the Mid­ dle East. Haj is the respected leader of the Arab people who live in the village of Taboh. He is faced with leaving Taboh when the Jews reclaim the area. This book, which is now available at the Public Library, promises to be as memorable and enter­ taining as Uris' previous ones. ART KENYON, Middleville's oldest active businessman at 79 years, is getting “cranked up" for the Sesquicentennial this September. His 1926 Pontiac car, now being restored, will be featured in the parade. The old car, the fifth one off the Pontiac Woman's Whirl by JOANNE BOYSEN I_________ ________ ____________ / line, has been stored by Art for some 25 years with his promise he was “going to get it running any day now.” Art has been a Pontiac dealer in Middleville for 49 years. Double Bike Riders Hit on Local Street Two Middleville bike riders, age 7 and 8, were taken to Pennock Hospital last Friday evening after being struck by a car in the village. According to the Middleville Police Department, Christie Reed, 8, and Autumn Huss, 7, were riding double on a bike and were struck by a car driven by Daniel Sprenkle, 22, 934 Greenwood. The accident happened at the corner of Johnson and LemPaul Streets, and is still under investigation by the local police. Sometimes in the midst of a project, I find myself wishing I had never started. Halfway through washing windows, or cleaning the stove, I wonder what surge of energy spurred me to begin the project at that particular time. Lately, I’ve had moments when I’ve wondered what in the world we were thinking of when we decided to build a new house! Fortunately, those moments are fleeting and I need only remind myself A Family of Runners to be patient.

Pat Schondelmayer said she and her family, gran­ dchildren as well, had a wonderful time decorating their boat for the Barlow Lake Boat Parade. This year it was different, each boat was to have a theme. So the Schondelmayers had a circus theme, decorated the boat with lots of balloons. Some of the grandchildren were bear trainers, using Glen’s bear rug with grandpa under it. Everyone got a trophy and they got a free dairy dip and ticket to the puting range. Then they had beautiful fireworks. The Deans have had lots of company.

It was in a church on campus. They had a variety of music, a small choir, a string quartet, guitar player and then various combination of each group. The groomsmen waited to escort each bridesmaid which was so nice. They stopped on the way to visit Robin and Carl and grandson Loren. Florence and Richard Doornbos attended the Hokanson family reunion Saturday in Charlton Park. Florence said it had been quite a while since she had been there and was very impressed how much nicer the park is. Everyone else agreed with them. So they all had a super time. Their grandson Mary Burton wasn't sure she had enough money in her account to take advantage of the one-day-only sale on draperies. Mary used her Connexion™ to check her balance and bought the draperies. Mary is probably a lot like you—sometimes you need your balance because you’re not certain a deposit was credited or if that big check has cleared. That’s why we’ve got The Connexion.

I was trying to get all the facts and materials together for an article on Marc and Kay Squier, but nothing seemed to jell. Then I got a surprise call from Jerry Cisler asking me if I was interested in an old Middleville School Annual of 1929. Said I’d sure love it, so he brought it over. After I had talked to a few more people and read The Reflector, Middleville High School’s first an­ nual put out by the senior class of 1929. Who was the Editor-in-chief? Kay Blake (Squier). How’s that for things meshing and falling into place. It was just what I needed to finish the article. Thanks for a lovely and timely gift. Jerry Cisler. Kay was the daughter of Glen and Bertha Blake. She had a younger brother, Robert. Glen was said to have a heart of gold with a protective gruff outer coat. Bertha has been remem­ bered as a very warm, wonderful person, very much interested in antiques, collecting and selling them. Kay grew up on Dearborn Street through part of high school (where Leo and Beth Verlinde used to live, or earlier where the Beeler Funeral Home used to be.) Kay was in high school when the Glen Blakes moved into the lovely home on Grand Rapids Street. Maggie Hall (Keegstra) says she remembers sleeping over there with Kay while they were in high schcx)!. Maggie said she remembers when she and Kay were learning to drive. Kay couldn't back up, so Maggie would take over and back up. Kay would take over and go merrily on until the next backing up time. At that time you could get your license at 14 without any tests. Maggie wasn’t sure but she thought the car was a Model T, but could have been a Model A. In The Reflector, you could see that Kay was a very active student. She played four years on the Girls Basketball team, was captain in her senior year, editor-in-chief of the annual, in junior and senior plays, orghestra and chorus. The staff of The Reflector was: Editor-in-chief, Kay Blake (Squier), Business manager, Margaret Hall (Keegstra), Art Editor, Crystal Finkbeiner; Literary Editor, James Berry; Athletic Editor, Alton (Grum) Elwood and Joke Editor (Leslie Steeby). Kay Blake, Margaret Hall and Charles Whitmore all started school together from the very beginning and finished high school together. They were the only three in the class who stayed together from start to finish. I never knew Kay Squier very well, only met her once or twice. But Maggie Keegstra said, "Anything nice you wanted to say about a person, Kay was. She was a warm, compassionate, wonder­ ful person.” After graduating from high school, Kay attended and graduated from MSU. Marc Squier’s family came from New York and settled in Battle Creek where he finished high school, then Battle Creek College and Cornell University in New York. He met Kay when he was working for the Kellogg Foundation at Pine Lake, one of the three camps they operated. Kay was working as a counselor. After Kay arid Marc were married he quit working for the Kellogg Foundation and went to work for a public accounting firm, living in Pittsburgh, New York and Chicago. During WWII he served at the Glenview Air Station, Glenview. Ill. for four years. In 1945, Glen Blake asked Marc to come to Mid­ dleville and work for him in the Blake Manufacturing, which was a division of Keeler Brass. He worked fqr Keeler Brass until his retirement in 1970. Both Kay and Marc were very active in community affairs in Middleville all of their lives. They lived on Grand Rapids Street across from her parents, until Bertha wanted a smaller home. Then they moved into her parents’ home. Marc and Kay had one daughter, Susan Squier Raab. She married Wilbur Raab and they live with their children west of Middleville on schad Road. Marc said one of his grandchildren just came home from a trip to Spain with a gymnastic tour group. Kay died in 1964. Marc remarried in 1966 to Doris Erickson. They bought the old Orrin Leonard farm Although this photo may not be too clear, it does show the E. F. Blake & Co. store that was located where Middleville Variety now has their store. The sign in the center of the photo says "Correct Time for Clock Stopped At Today" and then the time. It looks like the crowd was there to claim some sort of prize. north of town where Doris raises and shows Ten­ nessee Walkers. Now about the Blakes: Fordice L. Blake was Glen’s grandfather. He ran a store in Irving for twenty-three years. Evidently Ed Blake, Glen's father, was in business with his dad, because Glen was born in an apartment over the store. In 1887, Fordice L. Blake, or "Fad'' as most people knew him, sold the Irving store to Tom Gillette, who then ran it. All of the Blakes moved to Middleville. The 1899 paper said "Keeler sold the building to F.L. Blake, selling the contents to John Campbell, retaining Ed and son as managers.” They ran that store for two years. In 1887, Ed Blake remembers all of these businesses in Middleville: 7 doctors, 3 drug stores, 2 furniture stores, 4 blacksmiths, 4 lawyers, jewelry store carrying crockery, 2 harness shops, 2 meat markets, 2 saloons, 3 wagon shops, 2 livery barns, 2 dentists, 3 grocery stores carrying groceries ex­ clusively. In the fall of 1900 the firm of Blake and Co. pur­ chased the stock from the Campbells. In 1908 or just after, F. L. Blake died. In the fire of 1908, the then Keeler Building being a brick building, was only scorched, (where Mid­ dleville Variety is now located). So it is one of the original buildings left in Middleville. After the fire the Blakes built the double store where the Variety store used to be. In 1912, Ed Blake said, after looking at the bur­ ned out St. James Hotel for two years, he and some business men raised $8,000 to rebuild the brick hotel, calling it the Hotel Middleville, which was later bought by Elton and Margaret Sanderson. The business men included the Gardner boys, R. T. French, Armstrong and a few others. I can’t find the date but the Blakes sold their double store to VanderVeen's. Ed became post­ master during President Hardings administration 1921-23, and served for eleven years. Glen then worked for the Western and Eaton Rapids Knitting Mills (Globe) (now M&N Restaurant). Before and during WWI the mills made gloves. The women who didn't work in the ac­ tual factory mended gloves at home. In 1926 Glen went into car sales, building the nnw Central Garage building. He sold Overlands first, then Pontiacs and later Fords. We think it was about 1928. During WWII he couldn’t get cars to sell, so leased and enlarged his garage for Keeler Brass. At first Glen was a jobber for them, but later formed Continued on Page 5 WESTERN AUTO OPEN 7 DAYS M-F 8 to 8, Sat. 8 to 6, Sun. 10 to 4 FOR RENT LOG SPLITTER & POWER RAKE PHONE 891-1484 9870 Cherry Valley (M-37) * Catatonia. Ml �THE BLAKE FAMILY Continued from Page 4 Blake Manufacturing Div. of Keeler Brass. Keeler built a new building in 1952 on the west side of the river where Middleville Manufacturing is. Art Kenyon moved into Glen Blake’s garage in 1953. There is some uncertainty about which house on Grand Rapids Street is the original Isaac Keeler home shown in the Allegan and Barry County History book. Glen and Bertha Blake's (Squier’s, now Dugan’s), Boysen's (now Thatcher’s) or Peter­ son's. Isaac Keeler came from Prairieville to Middleville in 1850 carrying his whole stock of goods in a tin trunk. Setting up his store in A. C. Bruen's home where he traded with the Indians. A few months later, he built the brick Keeler building. They said Isaac was active in business until 1860 when he became a retired capitalist, buying an 80acre farm north of Middleville, later turning that into 300A. He sold 105 acres, including buildings, and rebuilt at the present location at the head of Grand Rapids Street. The Allegan and Barry County history book has an ink drawing of the Isaac Keeler farm, on a comer, with trees lining the road with some boardwalk on the corner. I went to the abstract offices trying to get dates to clear this up. On August 26. 1958, Abner Bruen gave Isaac Keeler a quitclaim deed on block 16 of Middleville. He sold lot 1 to Miner Keeler October 30, 1893. There were no other dates unless I wanted to pay for a title search. Miner Keeler and wife sold to R. T. French and wife March 27, 1900; then French sold to Glen and Bertha Blake September 13, 1926. Blakes sold to Katherine Squier on December 24,1953. We re having problems finding out exactly which lot was the original Keeler farm home. From the ink sketch in the Allegan Barry County History book, it looks exactly like the home that R. T. French put a porch around and added stained glass windows to on lots 6 and 5. According to Abstract Office, he owned Lot 2, block 16 in 1858; in 1883 Isaac N. had No. 3; lot 6, 1892 belonged to Wm. Keeler. At that time there was no lot 7, it was a part of No. 6. In the plat map of Middleville 1873, it shows a house on lots 6 and 2 but no owners names. The 1895 plat map showed no houses at all on any lot; in 1913 R. T. French was on lots 5 and 6; W. J. Haywood on lot 7. So the $100 question: is Dugan's, Peterson’s, or Holtzhausens the original Isaac Keeler home. Marc Squier thought theirs (or Dugan’s) home was Isaac Keeler’s farm home. Some folks have dif­ ferent memories - they say Peterson’s home was always called “the Keeler home.’’ If the sketch is correct in the 1880 book, the farm house has a cupola on top just like Dugan's. Any comments from any of you old timers, pro or con? I'd very much like to say with certainty which one it is, just to keep things accurate. Thanks.

We packed just enough for one night, onto Seward Hiway, following the Chugash Mountains on the right. Much water, silt and mud on our right on the Turn Again Arms. Stopped for lunch at Portage Glacier Lodge. Will board a flat car train. These will hold 62 cars. You stay in your bus to ride to the boat at Whittier. Left at 2:30 for a 6 hour ride to Valdez, through tunnels of complete darkness, foggy and raining. Up thru Prince William Sound. Saw a rookie of Kittewach birds nesting on the side of the rocks. Had lunch on the boat. Sun shining now as we go through chunks of ice that have fallen from the Columbian Glacier and many seals on the floes. Beautiful blue coloring. We could feel the bumps on our boat as he carefully drove up close so that many pictures could be taken. We will stay at Lamplighter Hotel tonight, then go back to Anchorage by bud Monday, July 9. The pipeline ends here at Valdez, a seaport town. Monday, July 9. We will be back in Anchorage tonight, 306 miles by bus. The Chugach Mountains following the Keystone Canyon, now up Thompson Pass 2700 feet. Many stops because of road work. We saw many poles along the road that were snow gauges for snow removal, some 38’ dep­ ths. We made several stops for resting or pictures. Now seeing Worthington Glacier. Beautiful. Seeing the pipe line again above the ground, 800 miles of it Prodeau Bay. They make much jet fuel here. Now the bumpy roads because of the per­ mafrost near Glenallen, at the summit 3322 feet. Now following the matanuska Valley and more glaciers, all so beautiful and blue. Now back on the main highway to Anchorage and back at Capt. Cook Hotel for the night. Tuesday we will fly to Nome and Kozebu then back to Anchorage and head home July 12. Nome Alaska. July 10. Raining. Ready to leave for Nome at 7:00. Talked with Jack Porter, former 4th grade student at Caledonia, now living in An­ chorage. He wished good luck to all his friends. Traveling by Wein Airlines at 9 a.m., 539 flight miles to Nome, arriving at 10:15. Will stay at “Nome Nugget Inn” tonight. This is the original Gold Rush town, pop. 3500, 65% Eskimos. Their only transportation by barge or plane, rather isolated town and very primitive. It is frozen here 8 months of the year. The housees are built on stilts because of the perma frost, rough roads and no sidewalks. American people live here during the 4 month season. Traveling along the Bering Sea, stopped and picked up driftwood and saw the 14team dogsled racing. Libby Riddles talked to us about her team. She has run many races with big pay offs. On to a gold mine to pan for some - saw some gold in our pans. Went to the Roadhouse Restaurant for reindeer steak - real good food. Jul 11 and off by plane to Kozebu, crossed the Ar­ ctic Circle (couldn’t see it anywhere). Land of the midnight sun. Today Ila Rogers was my seat par­ tner for the 33 minute flight across the Seward Peninsula. We are 30 miles above the Arctic Circle. We had a welcome to Kozebu in Indian language by Helen, a real Indian. 3,000 population, 9 miles of road, 12 churches, many taverns, 4 seasons (June, July, August and winter). Guess where we had lun­ ch? A Dairy Queen just like ours at home. Many barges come here but within 15 miles of shore, too shallow waters. They have a 50 bed hospital, real modern, senior citizen cultural center where the seniors help to teach the children. The National Guard is the chief occupation except fishing, sealing and drying these foods. Pilot licenses first, drivers license second • no place to go anyway. They have no sewage disposal so it is bagged and taken to a dum­ ping ground to be burned. Saw several Indian dan­ ces, just like our wierd dances at home, also the blanket toss. The blanket was seal skins sewed into a circle and jumped up and down and somersalted in the air. None tried that, but some danced. Back at Anchorage at 7:45 and our guide was there to meet us. Tired but still able to move, more slowly however. Many have colds and sneezes. Sun still high in the heaven and to bed at 10:15. Ready to leave July 12 at 6:30 a.m. Goodby Cap­ tain Cook, the beautiful hotel. Shipped our baggage and will board for Minneapolis, a 5-hour plane ride on a DC10 with 2 sets of seats on each side and 5 through the middle. Up and away at 7:30, beautiful sunny day, climbing to 37,000 and back on Michigan time. Eating all the time, but all seem happy with is. Arrive Minneapolis at 5:25 to change planes for Grand Rapids. Now the climax - after waiting more than 2 hours in the plane, and having our supper there, decided they would put us up for the night (but that is better than a dip in Lake Michigan!). Up early Friday to catch the first shuttle bus back to the airport to fly home via Detroit, arriving Grand Rapids at 1:28. A beautiful 18 days and enjoyed every minute even tho it was hurry up and wait. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. If you are interested in a tour, try Riverbend Travel in Hastings. Dorothy Conklin, our tour guide, was such a wonderful person. She knew where, what and when at all times. She never lost her patience and was just as sweet when we landed as when she started out with “The 49ers from Michigan.” An 80th Birthday Celebration Mrs. Rosalie Shanks of Lincoln Meadow Apar­ tments spent Thursday - Monday with her son, David Maxson and family at Traverse City. They were joined for Cherry Festival activities and a family picnic by annother son, Kay Maxson and wife of Galesburg, who were camping at In­ terlochen.

When we go out there a couple of times a day, the changes are much less dramatic. Our vacation this year was a return to some of our favorite spots in Northern Michigan. The first part of the week we actually didn't go that far north, just to the Croton-Newaygo area where we had a few wonderfully relaxing days with our friends, the Kitches, at their cottage on the Muskegon River. The latter part of the week, Don and I met more good friends, the Scotts, at their cottage at Ben­ zonia and then drove up to Copper Harbor with Helen and Scotty. It had been many years since we had been in that area, but found it just as beautiful as we remembered. Some of our favorite stops were along the rocky shores of Lake Superior, where we admired the scenery and picked up stones, with no one else in sight except an occasional vehicle which went past on the road. One of the nicest things about this vacation was the relaxed attitude we all shared. We got underway in the mornings when all of us were ready, stopped often, ate when we were hungry, and just generally enjoyed an unstructured trip. Our worst problem was making decisions! That’s really congeniality. Several weeks ago, Dorothy Brog left some recipes at the “Sun” office for our cookbook. Lois gave them to me, and I put them in my purse, since we were then moving again. Now you ladies know what a mistake it was to put them in a purse! For­ tunately, I had to make more room in my purse, threw away a few things, and discovered the recipes down at the bottom of the heap. Anyway, thanks Dorothy, and here are the recipes: HOT FUDGE Melt together l/i square chocolate 2 tablespoons butter Add: 2 tablespoons cocoa 1 cup sugar 1 tall can evaporated milk dash of salt Stir and boil 7-10 minutes or until right consisten­ cy. Can be reheated. BROCCOLI SUPREME 1 Vi lbs. broccoli (cooked and drained) cut in 1” pcs 1 tablespoon flour Vi cup sour cream Vi cup carrots, sliced thin 1 tablespoon grated onion Vi tsp. salt - pepper Blend and fold into vegetables. Put in casserole and add Vi cup herb croutons and 2 tablespoons melted butter (on top). Bake at 350° 30-35 minutes or until hot and bubbly. NUTMEG POTATOES 3 tablespoons butter 1 Vi teaspoons flour 1 cup cream (Vi&Vi) 1 Vi tsp. salt and pepper 2 Tbsp, chopped onion Vi teaspoon nutmeg Add to: 4 finely chopped, cooked potatoes Bake at 350* for 30 min. If you double recipe bake 45 minutes. FRICADILLA 2 lbs. lean pork and 1 lb. lean beef, ground together 1 onion, chopped fine Vi cup flour 1 egg salt and pepper 1 cup cream (Vi&Vi) Mix all together, make egg shaped balls and fry, turn often.

MSHDA is now offering home mortgage loans at 10.95 percent interest rate for low and middle in­ come purchasers, with a five percent down payment required. This rate is more than three points lower than money currently available on the market. uquor H & E & F PARTY SHOPPE "FOR ALL YOUR FANCY PARTY SUPPLIES" (6161 698 9640 WINE 68th 4 M’37 GROCERIES The loans will help about 3,400 people buy homes. For those purr hawing new homes, income cannot ex­ ceed $28,000 and the home’s value must be no more than $70,000. Those buying existing homes can earn up to $23,000 and buy a home worth up to $36,000. Over 100 banks, savings and loans and mortgage companies are participating in the program. The loan reservations will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition to the homebuyers, the homebuilding industry will benefit from this fund. Over 1,500 jobs should result from the additional money available, providing a shot in the arm to an industry that suf­ fered some of the worst setbacks and unemployment during the recent economic nose-dive. And even though housing starts and homebuying figures show an increase, rising interest rates on home loans are discouraging buyers. This new money should help the surge in homebuilding continue unabated. If you are interested in finding out more about these loans, you can call your local financial in­ stitution or MSHDA at 517-373-6840.

DeVriee of The DeVries Agency of Caledonia attended the 28th annual Basic Insurance School sponsored by the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents at Oberlin College, Ohio, in July. The three week program offered independent in­ surance agents an opportunity to gain practical training in the insurance business from a distinguished faculty of college professors, ex­ perienced agents and company executives.

State Representative Assessing President Reagan’s Qualities With the legislature adjourned for the primary election and campaign rhetoric heating up, I can't help but reflect upon this political season. With our nation at peace and the economy booming, it appears that President Reagan will be handily re-elected. There’s more to Ronald Reagan’s popularity than the current state of the nation, however. He has been a leader. He hasn’t tried to be all things to all people. Whether one agrees with his policies, and I don’t always, one has to respect his belief in our country and in himself. President Reagan knows where he wants to steer the nation, and he doggedly pursues that course. There’s something else, too. It’s a quality often overlooked by some of the President’s strongest detractors on the far left — and by staunch suppor­ ters on the far right. That is Ronald Reagan's con­ structive approach to the political process. The President, though anchored by a conservative philosophy, is not unbending. The Social Security reform and tax increase measures which he signed into law are evidence of his willingness to com- ____ SHOTCM ST.

What’s more, he doesn’t dwell on the negative. Though, for example, he opposes the Equal Rights Amendment, Ronald Reagan has not spent his time lambasting ERA supporters. Instead, he has ap­ pointed women to cabinet level positions and the Supreme Court, the President has strong views on issues such as abortion and prayer in schools, but he doesn’t require all Republicans to pass a single issue litmus test before they can be on his team. In other words. President Reagan seems more in­ terested in building rather than in tearing down or dividing. That is why. I believe, he will carry the State of Michigan this fall, unlike the experience of Michigan Republicans in 1982 when a conservative, but less conciliatory, candidate failed in his guber­ natorial bid. Ronald Reagan’s so-called Teflon coating which frustrated Democrates complain about is mainly his positive, problem-solving approach to politics. Those of us who are Republicans will also experience future frustration if we misunderstand the nature of President Reagan’s strength.

The fir­ st school was a log cabin school. When that burned, the pupils went to school in the Methodist Church basement until the new school was finished. This school was a large frame building. The property that the school was built on was once the property of my uncle, George Adams. I started school in 1916 at the age of six. My first year I walked on crutches due to a polio operation. My father took me on horseback once in a while. When we arrived at the school Maurice Freshney was always there to take me off the horse. There was no well at the school ground, so water had to be carried from three different homes. They were the George Adams, Otis Morgan and Otto Woods. Two pupils would go after water, each with a pail. We all drank out of the same dipper. Happy to say there wasn’t much sickness. In 1920 the school board decided we should have a well, which was much handier. We then got a drinking fountain that held two pails of water, which was a little more sanitary. The U.B. Church was across the road on the same side of the road as the school. There was a nice chur­ ch shed, so when it was raining our teacher would let us go over there and play during recess and noon hour. We played duck on the rock, until one tap of the bell called us back across the road to the school. There was a good sized playground on the east side of the yard. That was for the younger pupils. The west side was for the older ones. The school house was very tall, so when we played anti-1-over, it took a person who could really throw high. A good many times the ball would roll back. We had a good many games that we played. Finally we started playing softball each recess and at noon hour. Lunches were eaten in a hurry, we didn’t want to waste a precious minute. The steps to the building were a half circle with five steps. We played stone school on those steps. The steps being cement made for many bruises and cement burns, but I have no memory of any serious accidents. In 1915 this school had a fire in the chimney that scared the pupils and the teacher. I was on crutches again from surgery on my foot. I was the first one out of the building. I threw my crutches and slid down the steps. The teacher rang the bell until the people came to help. After the fire was out, we con­ tinued school the rest of the day, still not trusting it. The stove in the school was a large round oak stove with a jacket around it. In the winter some older boys near the school would go earlier and build the fire to have it warm by the time the school was to start. My brother Merl and I got an idea that if we took a pint can of creamed potatoes and put them under the jacket of the stove at the first recess, they would be hot at lunch time. It worked just right. Soon we didn't have room for our cans, others caught the idea too. The teacher got a better idea, we would all have hot lunches. So the boys cloak room was changed in­ to a kitchen.

Bruinsma D.D.S. & staff 610 E. Main, Caledonia stove. We ea ch brought dishes and silverware, no paper plates or plastic silverware. This idea didn t last very many weeks, too many poor cooks. Each week different pupils brought vegetables and other food that was needed. There were two cooks at a time. In the winter, we would take our sleds and go nor­ th of the school on Stimson Road and slide down the double hill Sometimes the teacher would go with us. Some pupils had bobsleds that would hold six or eight pupils. We had to cross a bridge over a creek, so care had to be taken not to go into the creek. because there wasn’t a railing. The last day of school we always had a nice picnic with potluck dinner, and we always had a may pole. Just before school started in the fall, my father, Roy Sherk, would take over our big black iron kettle up to the school yard, build a fire under it and fill it with water. Then my mom and I cleaned the school rooms and windows so everything was spic and span when school began. I went to the Parmalee School until the last half of the 8th grade, then I went into the 8th grade class in the old Middleville Union School. Our first teacher, Elizabeth Wenger, lived in Caledonia. She came every morning on the train. She got off at the depot in Parmalee and we would walk to school with her. She would take the train back to Caledonia after school. Here are a list of the teachers: Elizabeth Wenger, Florence French Coman, Minnie Michalle (changed her name toLouise). Louise (Stutz) Dryer, Mildred (Moore) Kermeen, Ruth (Peck) Brent, Leona Ben­ nett, Vere Carter. Some pupils were: Garold Sherk, Merl Sherk, Louise (Sherk) Schleh, Milton Kermeen.

The Mike Bremer family spent from Thursday to Sunday with Katy’s sister and family, Jim and Margaret Stapel at Columbia City, Indiana. We had a rather quiet week of "time out". Did manage to spend a day in Shipshewana at the flea market, and we drove to Shepherd on Thursday to spend a few hours with Dave and Colleen and children. On Sunday Alice Steiner and I made our annual pilgrimmage to the Antique Show at the Allegan fairgrounds. We spent lots of time, a little money, and came home once again feeling richer — for we are in possession of a houseful of "old things!" It does give one food for thought to see a set of dishes like the one we got as a wedding gift now classed as "antique!” As I'm putting together my notes for Prairie Sketches this week. I’m manning the Sesquicentennial information booth on the corner. Since you’re not stopping to ask, let me remind you that Mid­ dleville is going to have a party in September. Have you decided yet how you will help? Several people have literally been running their legs off planning special events — and others, like me, are giving two hours a week in the booth hoping it will be of some value. Financially, we can all help by buying the raffle tickets. If you don’t believe in raffles, just throw in a few bucks each week as a donation! Up here at the booth we not only have the raffle tickets, there are Sesqui notes, buttons, postcards, and now a wooden shingle with the official logo branded on it. (If you saved one from the Centennial you can now have a matched set!) * Do you know the girls at Mutt ’n Jeff have a Sesquicentennial logo decal that can be burned on their ceramics? I was delighted to be able to order a souvenir plate that is not only made in America, but is "Made in Middleville." I’ve been picking up plates as we travel and there is great rejoicing when I can find one that is not made in Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc. Have you planned your Sesquicentennial outfit? �Pf. 18/Th.Sun«ndMew>, Mil Aug. 2,1984 (Out nf 4HibMpinlle fi $ast Sesquicentennial Feature Baseball Champs 50 Years Ago During the Sesquicentennia! year of 1984, The Sun and News will be reviewing the past in this column.

Need Stagecoach “Wranglers” Ina small turnout of voters in Thomapple Town­ ship in Tuesday's Primary Election, two township proposals went down to defeat. Proposal 1, a renewal of millage to provide operating funds for the Township-Village Fire Department, the vote was 151 Yes; 196 No. Proposal 2 would have abolished the annual Thomapple Township meeting held each spring; the vote on that was 139 Yes to 197 No. A total of 384 local residents went to the polls, or less than 20% of those registered. In the Republican side of the ballot, the Township voters went with the majority in nominating Paul Henry to seek the 5th Congressional seat in Congress this November. The vote for the four candidates was Henry -110; Keary Sawyer - 83; Greg Doublestein - 49; and Drew Albritten - 9 votes. The GOP nominated Jack Lousma over Jim Dunn for the opportunity to unseat incumbent Carl Levin as one of Michigan’s Senators. Lousma outpolled Dunn locally 168 to 73. In another race of local interest, Eric Lee Reyff edged out his opponent Cheryl L. Lucas, 48 to2 3 for the nomination for the Democratic candidate for Need Books for Sale If you have books, especially paperbacks, that you wish to donate to the joint book sale of the Public Library and the Womens Reading Club during Mid­ dleville's Sesquicentennial Celebration, call Betty Bryans, 795-9217, Doris Brog, 795-3691, or Lib Palmer, 795-3090. The Sesquicentennial Committee is looking for some "stagecoach wranglers" for the three stagecoaches that will be traveling to Middleville on Saturday, September 29, as a part of the Celebration. The three teams of people, with 4 or 5 on the team, are needed to help with the horses and the stagecoach riders. The mayors of Battle Creek. Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids will be coming from their cities to participate in Mid­ dleville's Sesquicentennial Parade. Rod Kenyon, chairman of the parade, says "How about the chance of a lifetime to be a part of history revived? How many of you can say I helped with a stagecoach run?’ ” If you would like more information, or want to volunteer, please ca 11 Rod (795-9286) at Cen­ tral Auto Parts in Middleville. 54th Representative District. Reyff, however, failed to gain a district wide majority. Most other candidates locally did not have op­ position on the primary ballot. All of the Republican candidates for Township offices were nominated and face no Democratic opposition in November. Nominated were Donald Boysen, Supervisor (227 votes); Donna Kenyon, clerk (231); Shirley Eaton, Treasurer (228); William Getty, Trustee (195) and Fred Rock, Trustee (157). Two Middleville women will be facing off in November for the opportunity to be on the Barry County Board of Commissioners. Cathy Williamson received 205 votes in her unopposed Republican nomination and Regina Stein got 66 votes in her Democratic bid for nomination for the 3rd district Commissioner s seat being vacated by Jim Gordon. Local voters approved by a slight margin a proposal to fix the allocation of taxes to the various governmental units. That Barry County Proposal in Thornapple Township received 169 Yes votes to 161 No votes.

Mll*u#.9,1984 Caledonia Man Visits US. Jaycee Headquarters Woman's Whirl by JOANNE BOYSEN _——J s________________________ _____ A few weeks ago, I mentioned that Liz Thurber had called to ask if we would be interested in some recipes from one of her classes for our forthcoming cookbook. Of ourse we are, and she very graciously sent them along with a few words of explanation and comments on each. Here is her letter, in part, and the recipes, for which we are very grateful to Liz. “When I began teaching Michigan History to 7th graders I wanted to get them interested in their heritage and also Michigan products. Part of the assignment was to bring in a recipe, preferably one handed down in their family or featuring a Michigan product. Some did very well, but others forgot recipes and brought in recipes that they themselves particularly liked. “Betty VanderKodde’s raisin cake was delicious and different to me. "Cindy Orr’s Molasses Cake - again delicious, and an old family recipe. On the back card, says it was her great-great-grandma Blanche Colman's. “Karen Fox’s great-grandma’s Gingersnaps • again delicious and unique (at least to me in the use of bread crumbs.) “Polish pecan cookies - truly a recipe handed down through several generations. I’m sorry to say whoever brought it in forgot to put her name on it. “Another ethnic recipe Chrusti, not labeled either as to nationality or name, but oh, so good. “For Michigan products we must include the blueberry muffins and apple pie. “This is from Paul Dykstra and is absolutely terrific - Grandma’s Dutch Apple Pie. "Last but not least a family recipe for stew which is easy to make and is excellent. "I tried for 6 but ended with 8 which I hope won’t be too many. I hope you enjoy the recipes as much as I did. I’m really anxious to get one of the Sesquicentennial cookbooks.

Caledonia FFA Leader at Workshop Alan Steeby, vocational agriculture instructor at Caledonia High School, recently participated in an inservice workshop on community development at East Lansing conducted by the national Future Farmers of America. Steeby was one of about 45 voag teachers selected in Michigan to attend the oneday program conducted by Dr. Richard Carter of Iowa State’s agriculture faculty. Dr. Carter is on leave for a six-month appointment with the FFA to teach workshops in four states and direct a five-day community development conference in Washington D.C.

There are a few authors who never cease to entertain me. New editions are always a delight. Perhaps the best known of the gothic romance authors are Phyllis Whitney. Dorothy Eden, Victoria Holt and most recently Danielle Steel. For those who are un­ familiar with these names, let this column serve as an introduction. Some are already devoted fans, for those people I’ll provide some background and previous titles. Could you have missed some? Phyllis Whitney was bom in Yokahama. Japan in 1903. She has taught juvenile writing at North­ western University and New York University. She also has worked for the Chicago Sun and Philadelphia Inquirer as a reviewer for young adult books. Her writing began in the early 1940’s with novels for young people. Among the young adult novels owned by the library are: The Highest Dream, Secret of Stone Face and Step to the Music as well as others. Whitney is probably better known for her adult works. In all, there are twenty-one adult fiction books by this author in our collection. Her earliest novels include: The Moonflower, Seven Tears for Apollo, Sea Jade, Fire and Gold, and Columbella. Most recently she has published: Domino, Poiciana, Vermillion and Rainsong. Rain­ song was written this past spring and remains in the New Book collection. As authors go, Victoria Holt has an unbelievably complex career. Victoria Holt is in fact author Eleanor Hibbert who was bom in London, England in 1906. She also writes under the pseudonyms of Philippa Carr, Elbur Ford, Kathleen Kellow, Jean Plaidy and Ellalice Tate. The number of books she has published is staggering. We have several authored under the name Holt, Carr and Plaidy. There are nineteen Victoria Holt books in the library. Early titles include: Bride of Pendorric, The King of the Castle, Kirkland Revels, and Manfreya m the Morning. In the past five years she's written: Spring of the Tiger, The Mask of the Enchantress, The Judas Kiss, and The Demon Lover. Of the ten novels written under the name, Philip­ pa Carr, the library owns four. They are: Lament for a Lost Lover, Saraband for Two Sisters, Will You Love Me in September and in the new book section, Voices in a Haunted Room. As Jean Plaidy, Hibbert has written in excess of 70 books. Many belong to several different sagas, series and trilogies. We have the Plantagenet Saga, which has at least twelve books so far. These books are written about English royalty several hundred years ago. Dorothy Eden has become a popular author of romantic mysteries. She has written sixteen books. Eden was born in Canterbury Plains of New Zealand. She now resides in London. Her works that are part of the library collection include recently written American Heiress, Milbury Square, the Millionaire's Daughter, The Salamanca Drum, The Time of the Dragon, and Waiting for Willa. Trying to get my hands on a Danielle Steel novel in this library is not easy. Steel has written fifteen books in the last ten years. Her forte is not intrigue but she is definetely heavy in the romance depar­ tment. Most women can’t read them fast enough. Danielle Steel was bom in New York and educated in France. We have fifteen of her books in the library her latest being: Crossings (1982), Once in a Lifetime (1982), Changes (1983), Thurston House (1983) and Full Circle (1984). We’ve only had Full Circle for a few weeks and many people are anxious to read it. You may have to add your name to a reserve list.

Besides the emotional and psychological stress of the situation, would you be able to handle the financial burdens of caring for such a child? Whether you decide to put the child into an in­ stitution or into a foster care home, the expenses are astronomical. It can cost up to $200 per day at a state-run facility, and foster home care averages more than $15,000 per year. The state, and ultimately the taxpayer, picks up a large portion of the administrative and operational costs involved in both of these situations. A new law, however, designed to shift the emphasis from institutional care to home care can save the state money, as well has help defray the costs incurred by the family of an impaired child. This new program provides payments of $225 per month for eligible families with an annual income of less than $60,000. The child must be under age 18 and must have been diagnosed by a local or county intermediate school district as severely mentally impaired, severly multiply impaired, or autistic, and enrolled in a special education program for autistic children. So far, nearly 500 Michigan families have applied for benefits. If you or someone you know could benefit from this program, applications are being accepted by county health boards throughout the state. For more information, you can also contact the Depar­ tment of Mental Health at 517-373-2900. No matter how progressive and motivated the staff at an institution may be, there is simply no substitute for the love and warmth found in the home. With this program, the family is able to stay together and the state and parents save money. It’s a no-lose situation.

Then the Barber School consolidated with Caledonia so she taught there until her retirement in 1960. Memory Lane WITH NORMA VELDERMAN More on Parmelee School I had a wonderful visit with Theresa Miller Saturday afternoon. She knew of Giles Shepherd, one of the teachers at the Parmelee School. Her mom, Bertha Rosenberg Miller, along with a lot of other youngsters, had him as a teacher. He taught for a short time at many schools in the area. He apparently was a non-nonsense, stern, strict martinet type of person. He said he was only teaching so he could go on to college to train for a doctor. I imagine, he really taught with a “hickory stick.” At least he frightened her mom when she started school. At first, she eagerly looked forward to school, but changed quickly to crying and not wanting to go to school. Finally, her dad, Frank Rosenberg, hitched up the sleigh and took her to school to see what was wrong. Giles Shepherd told her Dad he’d see there was no more of that and he'd be sure there were no broken bones. Mr. Rosenberg didn’t like that kind of attitude and so both he and Bertha returned home. Theresa said she didn’t know how or when the problem was resolved, but her mom went back to school and finished. Ollie Mead. Margaret Bennett's mom, lived next door to them, and being one of the older girls in the school, took Bertha under her wing. They both lived on 108th Street and Parmalee School was quite a distance by road. So Ollie and Bertha walked south across the fields until they came out by John Kermeen by the road. In winter they walked over the drifted fences. Once, Theresa remembers her mom saying they were late. A freight train was parked on the track and they had to crawl under. Giles was the kind of teacher who had everyone doing penmanship together. He’d say “Pen in hand, take ink - write,'* counting each stroke and making sure all did it together. That brought memories of my own penmanship classes.Because my teachers all directed us like that. Darn! if I didn’t blot my paper with too much ink on the pen and I’d have to do it all over again when I hadn’t made a single mistake until that blot. I did more papers over because of those darn “dip­ ping pens” and open ink wells in the desk. But I loved class, we made such pretty letters and writing exercises. I enjoyed the rhythm, the challenge and the certificate I received. At least you could read most of our handwriting. Hooray for the old Palmer method of penmanship. Some of my grandchildren could use that kind of class because their han­ dwriting is barely legible. Maybe it was a regimen­ ted form of teaching, but most learned to write well. We had a goal to strive for and most teachers made it enjoyable. One of my teachers even sang the directions so we could move with rhythm. Theresa taught one year, her first, at the Barber School in 1933. She had 14 students with two of the the book. There is no front page nor advertising pages left in it: Mrs. E. J. McNaughton, Mrs. C.

I would sure appreciate any help you can give me as to the date, what organization compiled it, or anything else pertinent to it. It helps to make all of our living history mesh together. I’d even like to try some of the recipes. One that intrigues me is “Flummery.” Thanks, folks.

CLOSED MONDAY BUY NOW & SAVE BLANCO FURNITURE Shelbyville ACROSS FROM CRYSTAL FLASH 672-5115 or 672-7913 V Blanco Furniture, which has been a part of the local scene in Shelbyville since 1946, is putting the finishing touches on three months of preparation for a veryspecial sale. On Sunday afternoon. May 6, the red brick schoolhouse section of the store, located on old 131 at 124th Avenue, was partially destroyed by fire. 40% of the furniture display area was affected by the fire which destroyed the roof of the original sec­ tion of the store built before 1920. On Friday, August 10, the goal of finishing the extensive remodeling made necessary by the fire in time for participation in a special sale will be realized, say the Blancos. That sale is the third an­ nual “Bargan Day USA" sale sponsored nationwide by the giant Bassett Furniture Industries. Reduc­ tions from 10 to 60% will be offered on every item in the store during the two-day sale. “We are especially pleased to be able to pass along to our customers at this time the kinds of savings this sale makes possible," said Jose’ Blanco. “This is one way of telling them ‘Thanks for your help and your patience.’ ’’ The immediate, spontaneous help of many local residents the day of the fire, which started when a short in wiring ignited a bird's nest, demonstrated to the Blancos what living in a small community is all about. The owners credit the fast and professional service of the Wayland, Hopkins and Martin Fire Departments with holding damage to the building to a minimum. They also say that, thanks to the quick reactions of passersby, residen­ ts and employees who live nearby, a great deal of furniture was salvaged which otherwise would surely have been destroyed, thus greatly reducing potential losses. “Shortly after we called the fire department, people just started coming," said George Blanco, who lives next to the store. “We tried to put it out with extinguishers, but we couldn’t, so they just started hauling out furniture. People just driving by stopped and helped." About 10 o’clock that night, the Shelbyville, Tavern across the street prepared food for people who were still there helping, Blanco said. The original building served area school children until 1940 and was bought by Mr. and Mrs. Jose’ Roman Blanco in 1946. A war veteran advised not to return to his job as a postal worker, Blanco star­ ted a used furniture business. He eventually began selling new furniture and, as his business grew, ad­ ded new sections to the old school building. Sons Jose’ and George took over the business after their father died in 1972 and continued to expand, adding a new building along the way. The owners say they have 7000 square feet of renovated showroom space, plus 1000 sq. ft. of new space which includes new La-Z-Boy and Norwalk Galleries. The new showrooms were designed by a consultant whose services were furnished by the LaZ-Boy Chair Company. After the sale, the Blancos are expressing their thanks to their community in another way as well. A private Thank You party at the newly remodeled School House Gallery is set for approximately 250 neighbors, employees, fire department members and others who gave their help when help was needed.

He was a Middleville Volunteer Fireman and ser­ ved as Assistant Chief for many years.

Vocational Agriculture teacher at Caledonia High School, was honored recently as Outstanding Agriculture Instructor of Michigan for 1984. This award was given by the Michigan Association of Teachers of Vocational Agriculture to Steeby during the annual summer technical workshop in July. Nationally over 10,000 teachers of vocational agriculture belong to associations that represent the teachers of vocational agriculture, of which only a select few receive recognition of this nature. This award is given to those individuals who have demonstrated leadership through the activities of NO. 33 • AUGUST 16,1984 their programs, students and personal efforts to better the lives of American youth. It is a vital role that only a select few have chosen to take as their career. The list of activities is endless but a few examples are: Students’ participation in contests, taking part in local, state and national programs and attending conferences and workshops to im­ prove skills and abilities. The MATVA is proud to announce the 1984 win­ ner of the Outstanding Agriculture Award. The future of today's youth looks much brighter because of the efforts of dedicated instructors like Alan Steeby it may have been because some did not realize that this was not a new tax, but a millage renewal." The fire department has been receiving 1 mill for many years and used the money to upgrade the equipment and compensation to the firemen. “The loss of the mill, although not critical in the immediate future, could jeopardize the effectiveness of the department in the long run," said Boysen. Actually the Township has levied only one half mill for the past three years, determining that amount of revenue (about $20,000) was sufficient to fund the operation and provide funds for equipment purchases. Just this past year a new water tank truck was purchased to better fight rural fires. A number of volunteer firemen were present at the meeting and encouraged the Board to place the issue before the voters again in November. If the issue is passed then, it would be in time for the 1985 levy. The Thornapple Township-Middleville Fire Department provides fire protection service for all of the local township and village, plus Yankee Springs Township and the western portion of Irving Township. Those two townships levy millage on their residents that is figured in the local depar­ tment's budget. In addition to providing fire service, about nine of the volunteers man the ambulance service operated by the Township. This service is also provided to the Yankee Springs and Irving Township residents, for which these townships pay a subsidy to Thomapple Township. TK Boosters Gearing Up for School Year The TK Boosters will meet on Monday, August 20, 7:30 p.m. at the Middle Villa Inn. Summer is coming to a close and soon school will begin, which means lots of activities will be star­ ting. The TK Boosters will again be busy at work. We have volunteered to run the concessions and ticket booths for sports, to start with. This project calles for lots of helpers to make it run smoothly. There are hundreds of your children involved in sports which are so good for them, and we want to support each one of them with our attendance at their games. All these children plus how many games there are to be played makes a large number. We need all you parents and anyone else to help us make this work. We would like to think we could call on each one of you to work. We would like to make a suggestion of parents from spring sports taking the jobs in the fall and winter, and fall and winter paren­ ts doing it in the spring. That way you can watch your child at his or her sport and not be working. It all boils down to - We Need All Of You! We don't have all of our chairpersons assigned yet, but as soon as we do, we will try to publish them or call one of the booster members and leave your name and when you are available, and we will call you back to work to your schedule. Better yet, we are having the first meeting on Monday. August 20, 7:30 at the Middle Villa Inn. Please come and join with us. We can always use new members. There are only about 10 regular members doing all the work and we need you. That leaves the responsibility to just a few with a lot benefiting. Come on Monday and be a willing worker.

Stephen King is king of the horror genre. People like to be scared and that’s what Stephen King is best known for. King was born September 21, 1957 in Portland, Maine and received his degree from the University of Maine. He is married to Tabitha Spruce. They have three children. Tabitha is also an author. Recently she has written Caretakers and Small World. Most of his fans wonder if King is a madman or at the very least believes in the supernatural. In reality, Stephen King lives in an ordinary house with the usual family and lifestyle. He does admit to superstitions. As he says, “no sense taking chances with that stuff." Stephen King has published twelve books. Most are currently major motion pictures or are in the process of becoming one. In spring of 1984 Pet Sematary was published and remains one of the most popular fiction books of the year. He wrote Christine in 1983. Others he has written include: Cujo, The Dead Zone, Different Seasons, Fires tarter, The Shining, and The Stand No one has been able to match King in popularity within the horror category. However if you’ve already read and re-read all the King novels, perhaps one of these authors can entertain you. They all write for the purpose of scaring their readers. Peter Straub has written several novels, but three in particular belong to this genre. Ohost Story was published in 1979. In 1982 it was made into a motion picture. In 1980 he produced Shadow band and most recently, in 1982, Floating Dragon. Although most titles are not available through our library, John Saul is an author you should con­ sider if horror and supernatural are your favorites. He has written: Comes the Blind Fury, Cry for the Strangers, The Ood Projects Punish the Sinners, Suffer the Children and When the Wind Blows. He has recently completed Nathaniel which will be available in the library. Most would not consider Robin Cook part of the horror genre. Perhaps a better description would be medical horror author. They are written to scare you but not necessarily from the supernatural aspect. His books include: Coma, Sphinx, Brain and Fever. All are available in the library. Ira Levin has enjoyed popularity in this category beginning with his bestseller Rosemary's Baby. Other contributions from this author include The Boys from Brazil, The StepfordWives and The Per­ fect Day. My final suggestion for those who are hooked on those wierd, creepy books is author Thomas Tryon. In 1971 he wrote The Other which was made into a movie. Since he has written Harvest Home, Lady and Crowned Heads. These authors should give you some ideas about where to look for similar literature. If you have suggestions that I haven’t mentioned let me know and I’ll pass on the information. Two books on the new book shelf look like they belong to the genre also. They are Cold Heaven by Brian Moore and In­ carnate by Ramsey Campbell. Don’t blame me if you have nightmares!

Our sympathies to Ruth and to Oscar’s family because of his death on Mon­ day afternoon ... but what a beautiful way to enter that last door — quietly, at peace with the world, and at home. Oscar left memories in many places and will be missed by all who knew him. Mart and Cindy Wenger spent from Thursday to Saturday with the senior high youth of Peace Reformed Church on a whitewater rafting trip on the Youchiogheny River in Pennsylvania. Sounds like a fun time. Fred and Letha Buckingham, with son Lyle of Paw Paw, were in Rosebush, Michigan, on Saturday with Fred's brother George and wife. Virgil and Myrtle Adams have spent some time recently with her 94-year old father, Charles Flet­ cher, and her sister Hazel at Peck, Michigan. Bob and Helen Wenger entertained family for Sunday dinner to honor the birthdays of his brother Chris and his dad, Verne Wenger. We were reminded of “It’s a small, small world’’ the other day when we found out that Katy Bremer’s sifter and husband live across the street from a niece and nephew (from the Steiner side) of Fritz and Alice Steiner. The couples live in Min­ neapolis and got to talking about their “relatives in Michigan!’’ Tom. Brenda and Lindsay Bremer left Friday night to spend their anniversary weekend on Mackinac Island. Tom and I enjoyed being part of the large crowd of Bradford-White employees and retirees who gathered for the annual picnic at Lakeside Park in Caledonia on Saturday.

Middterih. Ml/Au, 18,1984|P| 3 on Saturday afternoon where we helped grandson Zak Bremer celebrate his 5th birthday at the new parsonage home of his other grandparents. Rev. Bill and Maxine Martin. It was nice to visit, to meet Chuck Martin’s fiance Beth, and to admire their new home. Sometimes while involved in the tedium of washing dishes, snapping beans or (heaven forbid) running the vacuum, my mind starts to wander to other things, and got to reflecting the other day about how nice it is to be at this stage of life where we don’t have to keep up with all of the things that were necessary when the family was growing up. I thought “I’ve passed the torch on to the next generation and now they have the children to love, nuture, educate, etc.’’ In view of the bombardment of advertising the past several months, that thought was quickly followed by the idea that we’re really all involved in a lifetime Olympics of Living. The torch may be passed on to another generation, but, like the Olympic games, there is something we can work to excel in at any age or any time. Right now we’re in the ‘Games of Grandparenting and beginning to go in training for the ‘Relays of Retirement.* (for this it looks as though you program yourself back to the beginning and decide how to get by on what you have) The possibilities are endless!

In each of us is that character­ istic, that trait, that thing that makes us different from pot&oes and rocks. That thing that makes us human. That thing that makes us love life. That thing that makes us l>elieve life will endure. That it should endure. That it can. That thing that makes US human gives us our concept of future.

A group of 260,000 people today who earn' forward the work of the much smaller group that started this company in 1SS6. The day-to-day activities have changed somewhat over the near-century since, but the pur­ pose is the same now as it was then. This company’s purpose is and always has been to supply energy to the people of Michigan To do that, we have continually looked ahead to see how people would be living, and working in years to come. Our job, really, has been to imagine the future. To plan. To study, design, devise, engi- neer, invent, build, operate, and plan more. We continually look for ways to provide the energy Michigan needs in ever-increasing amounts. Each is part of our answer to the continuing questions about energy supplies. For now. For tomorrow. In our near-century of answer­ ing those questions, acceptance of our answer has been extremely high. Sometimes, rarely, there has been controversy. The Midland plant has been a controversial answer all along. We believe that Midland was a correct answer. Without Midland, we will go back to the question and find a new answer. Tins company, this group of people working to ensure the future, will continue to honor the commitment made almost one hundred years ago. The commitment of today’s 260,000 people of Consumers Power that Michigan’s homes and schools will be warm in the winter.

She just couldn’t believe it and was so proud. Her whole wall in the hospital was covered, and it made her glow identifying each one as they showed it to her. It made it a wonderful warm blanket of love to wrap her in before she lost consciousness. Gladys Briggs said tonight (Sunday) she expected to hear any day that she had slipped away. Thanks again all of you thoughtful people. Last week Dan and Agnes Hesselton of Brandon, Vt., John and Barb Kilburn from Lebanon, New Hampshire spent a whole week with Ardyth and Maynard Park. Then this week end Ardyth’s sister. Ann and Larry Ames from Oskaloosa. Iowa, were visiting them. Ardyth says her mom is so much bet­ ter, a wonderful change for all of them. Pat said Jerry Hilty hadn’t come home from the Martin Dragway where he had spent all day Sun­ day. He’s wanted to go for a long time and finally got there - hope it was a good day, Jerry. Regina Stein said her nephew John Paul and niece Laura LaPort were spending a week with their family. Her mom, Regina LaPorte, spent the week end. Regina and her mom were going to Justice Boyle’s coffee Monday at the Moose Hall. I had forgotten that Regina is running for County Com­ missioner from Thornapple and Yankee Springs Township. Guess I’m not very politically minded - I forget these things when I sjiould pay more atten­ tion. So good luck, Regina. Leonard and Mary Ann Vandal had a super Sun­ day. They combined hiking and riding their bikes on a beautiful day. She said that we folks tend to take our beautiful area for granted. Coming from the Detroit area, this is just a very relaxing, beautiful area.

Nancy’s friends were en­ joying biking here as they don’t do it back home. Laurel Rock and daughter Mary went to a show in Grand Ledge last week. I’m not too knowledgeable about dried flowers, so was asking Laurel about it. They’ve been busy cutting and drying flowers • hanging them up with heads down, out of the sun, until dried. Or using her own home made drying sand out of borax. Cornmeal. Some people add salt also but Laurel says she can see no appreciable dif­ ference. She even puts special flowers in the sand and pops them in the microwave oven. The salt must not be iodized, though. Her daughter’s store is in their basement and is called “Countree” - isn’t that a musical name? Mrs. Karpinski has been busy canning, so they’ve not been camping much lately. Greg and Maggie took Mr. and Mrs. Cox out for a drive Sunday - sort of a business tour showing his folks their business placed, etc. They stopped and had a Chinese dinner. Phillip Nichols is coming along better this week. Keep up the good work. “Red” or Andy Aicken goes back in for more tests this week. Good luck from all of us Andy. Richard and Florence Doornbos celebrated their granddaughter's 14th birthday. They celebrated with Lee Ann Patterson at her parents’ cottage at Barlow Lake Saturday. Greta Greiner and lyla Norton had a good time Saturday at Delton’s Pioneer Days. Greta's daughter Barb and Marta (Dean) Blough had a craft booth there also. lyla said there was a really terrific crowd. lyla’s very dear friends, Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Drake of Ionia stopped in for a visit with her Friday afternoon. Mrs. Sprenkle said Dan went to Chicago to help his brother move into his new apartment. The first thing he did was to set up his stereo that he didn’t have room to set up at home. Luana and Lynn Tolan got back from their fourday vacation. They went up to the bridge, flying over and taking a boat trip under, to see it from many angles. They also took a buggy ride on the island. They stopped to see Ken and Sharon Smith of Brevort, formerly of Middleville. They took a boat trip up and down the Soo locks as well as going to Tahquemanon Falls - crowded an awful lot into four days. Lynn had to settle down quickly because he had to work 10 hours Friday and a half day Saturday Pat and Clare Tolan spent the afternoon at the Old Time Rock and Poll at Sandy Lane, Lake Odessa.

Dick even went on a deep sea fishing trip. They saw a “moonbow” - the opposite of rainbow. There are only two places in the world where this oc­ curs - one at Cumberland Falls, Kentucky and the other at Victoria Falls in Africa. Norma Lewis said Gladeon finally has his big cannon done and is taking it to Bowens Mill Old Fashioned Day this Saturday. Jim Verlinde said the only news they have is two sons start football practice Monday. Have you folks noticed that the “Little White House” where Petersens old Dairy Dip used to be is being manned most of the hours of the day? Not that we are overwhelmed with customers. But we do get an occasional inquiry, and somehow the 1.000 pamhlets we had on our Sesquicentennial have disappeared and had to be replenished. I certainly appreciate you folks answering my call to help dig up our “living history.” What a lot of work on both our parts is entailed. But how rewar­ ding and interesting all this material and work is. Maybe we’ll really get a lot of history preserved through your generosity and sharing. Thanks so ver much. Isn’t if tun to share what you know and have. You folks are really charging up my batteries. Thanks! Mae Bowerman called to tell me that there were 27 at Theron and Donna Bowerman’s last Saturday for a family get together. All had a good time. Strong family ties are what makes we Americans strong. Did you folks know that Nellie Wood Deaner was in the hospital for five days? I didn't until her good friend told me. She's home now, still sassy and spunky, and says she’s doing fine. Bill and Neva Kenyon j ust returned from a twoweek vacation in England and Europe. Neva said a sort of pen pal, Sylvia and John Holton, came over two years ago for a visit with the Kenyons. They had never been to America before. So one of their vacation was spent with this couple in the west of London. They had a wonderful time and did a lot of sightseeing. Then they caught a tour from London for a week, visiting Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris. They enjoyed both trips. USE SUN AND NEWS CLASSIFIEDS!

Bowens Mill Old Fashion Day Saturday, Aug, 18 Saturday, August 18, Historic Bowens Mill will host its monthly Old Fashion Day celebration from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. There will be tours of the old 1864 grist and cider mill, which is a State Historic Site. There will also be grinding of corn, spinning, weaving, blacksmithing and other old time demos, including a water powered machine shop. The Arts and Crafts show with costumed vendors will be along the edge of the old mill stream, and flea market items on sale in the Market Square. The civil War camp and Old Time Folk Music are part of the monthly occasion as are rides on an old restored Gun I^ake launch. The feature of the month is open house in the third level living quarters. This area was once a workshop and grain storage area and is now a quaint and homey place to live. Owners Neal and Marion Cook say "We left the old beams exposed, stenciled the living room and used the material from the old granaries for wainscoting and the grain elevators now run through a lovely bedroom. We tried to keep in m ind as we worked on the area that it was still an old mill and we wanted our home to look like it belonged there. The effect we longed for seemed to turn out the way it should and the heritage of the old building is reflected throughout each room." The living quarters are open only once each summer. There is a $1.00 admission fee for each adult and students are free. The Old Fashion Gospel Concert at 7 p.m. features Lana and Terry Brady, a husband and wife team from Texas, and Stevie Ryan, who has been singing all her life. The concert is free but a free will offering will be taken for the singers. In case of rain the concert will be held at the Note of Praise. Historic Bowens Mill is on Briggs Road, 2 miles north of the Yankee Springs State Park entrance. USE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS!

It does so many things. For instance, you cross stitch people, you can have a pattern enlarged or reduced. Or a paper like the Sun reduced to a smaller, yet readable copy, less storage space. Or back to back copying. That s copying on one side of the paper and turn it over and copy on the other side so you have it like a page in the book. You see. I'm hoping to have three places to store all those collected artifacts. One hopefully in a history room at the Public Library. Maybe one set in the Village Council fireproof safe, if they give me permission, and my own set. This way you are sure to preserve some sets. All three, in all probability, won’t be simultaneously destroyed. We’ll have at least one record for those who follow us.

They are even coming with me to see how it is done and that nothing happens to them. Helen Cridler Wenger has generously loaned a huge armful of family things. She even is letting us see and copy her 1878 Barry County Republican. I haven't picked that up until 1 can copy and return it the same day.

However, while such houses do have more insulation than the norm, their effi­ ciency is equally dependent on several interrelated construction details.which include the following: [ 1] A continuous air/vapor barrier. The home's shell, basement, and ceil­ ing are literally shrouded with sheets of 6-mil polyethylene, which are carefully over­ lapped and joined with acoustical sealant, a pliable butyl rubber compound. [2] An air-to-air heat exchanger. These uncomplicated blower-augmented machines continu­ ously suck fresh air into the house while exhausting stale air, thereby removing odors and pollutants, reducing humidity, and reclaiming heat at the same time. [3] Careful attention to glazing. These homes typically have a window area equaling 5 to 10% of the total heated floor surface, a proportion similar to that of other houses. However, many designers try to locate the majority of the windows toward the south to take ad vantage of solar gain, employing triple and/or quadruple glazing. In a 1980 experiment that tested the efficiency of superinsulated houses in the se­ vere climate of Saskatoon. Canada, the Canadian builders found that the most convenient way to incorporate all the features necessary to minimize air leakage and to retain heat inside a dwelling is to use double-wall construction (see the accompanying diagram! Essentially, the technique involves building two stud-framed walls (the interior one is load-bearing), with the air vapor barrier placed behind the inner wall. Insulation is then sandwiched between the studs of both walls This kind of construction allows most of the electrical, plumbing, and ducting work to be located within the interior wall, thus maintaining the integrity of the vapor barrier. The R values of the double walls used in the 14 Energy Showcase homes in Saskatoon varied from R-30 to R-60 The ceiling of a superinsulated home receives its own wrap of polyethylene, above which R-60 insulation is installed. The basement, too. is insulated to a minimum of R 20. and has its own vapor barner As a result of such careful building, the homes in the Energy Showcase experiment use about 75% less fuel for heating than do even those houses that were previous­ ly considered to represent the state of TYPICAL DOUBLE-WALL the art in energy efficiency. For exam­ CONSTRUCTION ple. during one ten-month period, the to­ tal heating bills for the Saskatoon residences ranged between 859 and $143. or from $6.00 to $15.00 a month per household Supennsulated construction offers several advantages in addition to its fuel efficiency. First, it’s a flexible building method that can accommodate many different housing designs Second, a su­ pennsulated home isn't as dependent upon optimum solar siting as are typi­ cal passive or active sun heated houses Third, superinsulation is an unobtrusive technique. The foot-wide windowsills in the houses are about the only visible in­ dications of the dwellings unique and unusual construction While the future of superinsulation re­ mains to be seen, one fact shines clear: Contractors can build such affordable, comfortable airtight homes at reason able prices FREE •OCIitKxva mtormehon or energ.

School Opens September 4 PLANTINGS AT NEW MILL PARK Last Saturday the Middleville Lions Qub members were putting the finishing touches on their Mill Park on the site of the old mill next to the Thomapple River. Trees and shrubs were planted and grass was seeded and mulched. Old railroad ties were put in place on the terraced end of the park to enable people to reach the river below. Village Manager and Lions Member Kit Roon (on tractor) volunteered the use of his bed spring to drag the grass seed. Well, kids, the summer is just about over! Would you believe (yes, mothers DO believe) that the Thor­ napple Kellogg Schools will be opening in just 12 days? September 4, the day after Labor Day, TK will be running an abbreviated schedule with Wed­ nesday a complete full day. On the 4th school starts at 9:45 a.m. and dismisses at the regular afternoon time. On Sep­ tember 5, the high school and west elementary begin at 8:30 a.m., with the Middle School and McFall starting five minutes later. School dismisses at 3:05 for the high school and west, and 5 minutes later for the middle school and McFall. Parents of children who have not registered as yet should do so before the opening of school. All of the school offices are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Librarian Judy Cain distributed pool passes to those kids who used the summer to read more books. Young Gold Medal Readers Earn Pool Passes Congratulations to all sixty-three Gold Medal Readers who earned pool passes. It was necessary for these readers to read forty-three books to earn the pool pass. The library staff is delighted to see so many participants and readers finish. Two hundred and thirty-four children enrolled in the pre gram. Of these, one hundred and fifty-three earned a minimum, of a reading certificate, which required the reader to complete 10 books. A grand total of four thousand, eight hundred and seventv six books were read in the Gold Medal Readers program. Sixty-five children and twelve adults enjoyed the movie features Wednesday morning, August 15. Forty-two children and three adults joined in for af­ ternoon festivities. Pool passes were awarded at this time. The library staff wishes to extend a big thank you to all participants and parents. Without parental support and transportation the reading program wouldn’t be thia successful. Plans are being made for next year’s reading program. �Pg 21 Tta Sot Md N«n. MMdtev*. Ml I Aug. 23,1984 We Need Each Other slower pace. Horses could only go so many miles a day before they ran out of energy, so towns were usually only about 10 miles apart (or closer like Middleville and Ir­ ving; Parmalee and Caledonia). Con­ sequently people depended upon each other more and had to “make do’’ with what their community offered. Em­ ployment was local. Who would have thought to work in Grand Rapids back 50 or 60 years ago? That place was an over­ night trip for most folks! Entertainment and recreation was whatever the town put together. Educational institutions were what the community could afford. Those days were not necessarily better than today. We tend to remember only the good things about our past and forget all the trials and tribulations. But, what was good for all of us was that interdepen­ dence upon one another. If no other reason than that, celebrating our sesquicenten­ nial is important. We should be teaching our young people that we are all in this life in Middleville together. We NEED each other and we NEED our local institutions. After all, towns are people and when the people remove themselves from a par­ ticular area, the towns cease to exist. Middleville has endured for 150 years; may the folks who are here in 2034 celebrate their 300th birthday with kind words for those of us in 1984! CAN IT/BE that Middleville’s giant birthday party is only about five weeks away? The Sesquicentennial Committee has been in the planning stages for so long it seems like the last week in September was never going to get here! But, make no mistake about it, the Sesquicentennial Celebration Week will arrive on Monday, September 24. Lots of folks are still unsure what the whole celebration is all about. Why look back 150 years to the day when Calvin Hill founded the community? What’s the big thing about a town, anyway? It’s just a bunch of people living close by each other, isn’t it? Sometimes they get along, sometimes they fight. Sometimes they love each other, sometimes they can’t stnd one another. All of these characteristics about Mid­ dleville are true, but there is more. As we look back at our heritage we should reflect what those folks went through to establish a community. It wasn’t easy, but they collectively grew into a com­ munity because they NEEDED each other. The barber needed the shoemaker, the blacksmith needed the butcher, the housewife needed the iceman, the farmer needed the flour mill.

Here is her story. ‘Til be the first to ad mit that the ‘secret’ I’m about to divulge isn’t a very well-hidden one. Pi­ oneer folks, and even my own grandparents, used the technique that my friends and I discovered in this modem age. It’s based on the same idea as the old-timey bam raisings, com shuckings, and apple squeezings. “In other words, if you want to try putting up some goodies this year, get together a group of friends who’d like to try it too . and have a party! Perhaps you can find at least one experienced hand to direct the activities and teach everyone how to can properly. If not, you can certainly rely on the advice given in well tested cookbooks My first attempt at community canning came in blackberry season after nine of us novices agreed on a suitable weekend when the fruit was at its peak. By 8:00 AM on a sunny Saturday, our motley crew was spilling out of various vehicles at a spot where prior scouting had revealed the best berry brambles for miles around. By 10.00 AM we had more blackberries than we ever wanted to see again, and the July sun was get ting overly warm. On the way to the potluck brunch at my house, we detoured to a nearby river and cooled off It was early afternoon before the serious jellying began “While the dark berries boiled in assorted pots to the ideal jelly-ready state, children played, adults chatted, visitors arrived, and we took turns stirring the fruit. At the right moment, we created a full assembly line of jelly-jar washers, ladlers, and sealers AU the containers were finally processed just as the sun set and the children began to get sleepy. It had been a full day of friendly fun and companionship, and every participant took home several jars of tasty blackberry jam. “ After other such weekend rendezvous later in the season, shining glasses of grape jelly decorated our pantry shelves and com shivered in the freezer My friends and I found these episodes to be great excuses for getting together having fun while accom­ plishing what could have been a laborious task “In between these grand gatherings, my husband and I found simpler, quieter ways to put food by without overstraining our tight time budget. When apple season came around, for instance. I arranged for a friend who wanted to can applesauce to come for supper one evening after work. While I prepared a quick meal, she peeled apples. By bedtime we had prepared six quarts of fresh, saucy winter fare “When the garden started producing tomatoes in earnest, 1 chopped up several of them with some peppers and garlic, pul them into the slow cooker, and let the mixture simmer all day. By evening it had cooked into a tasty tomato sauce, which I put in containers for the freezer Using the same method with chopped apples and spices bath. I enjoy the quiet moments that my family tucks into our busy schedules in order to put away food for the coming winter but I especially cherish those warm communi into the cold nights of winter ” MEMBER OF FDIC Wtm VESS' »06 WITH OFFICES IN CALEDONIA AND DUTTON, MICHIGAN CoprHT* MOTHER EARTH NEWS inc �NEWS OF YOUR CALEDONIA NEIGHBORS with ANNE RABB and THELMA GEHL \--- --------------------------------- ---------- ' K group of senior citizens from the Caledonia area met Wednesday at the Community Board Room for a potluck dinner at the noon hour and spent the af­ ternoon playing bingo.

Ml I Aug. 23.1084 CAPITOL COLUMN BY DICK POSTHUMUS, 31st District State Senator “Incubators” Help Young Businesses Grow One of the newest, “hottest” ideas in the business community today is the concept of “incubators.*’ And they have nothing to do with fluffy baby clpckens. Michigan has about half a dozen private and public*supported small business incubators where fledgling firms are allowed to develop in a low-rent building with flexible leases that expand as the business grows. Midwestern states and cities are using incubators to not only help out struggling young businesses, but also to revive old abandoned industrial districts. Incubators have flourished for years on the East and West coasts, where university-supported cen­ ters offered high-tech businesses low rent, management advice and support services. Just four years ago, however, Chicago received a SI.7 million federal grant to rehabilitate three rundown warehouses. Now there are 25 small businesses into those warehouses, and they are expanding into surrounding buildings. Hopefully, some of that good news will spread to Michigan. A state law enacted last month is designed to promote 10 new incubators over the next three years, and the Department of Commerce is currently working on developing the criteria for the program. The new law states that prospective tenants will have to outline what type of business they will operate, how many people will be employed initially and at the end of two years, and what skills the em­ ployees need. Also, incubator tenants will have to prove their ability to start and operate a business and tell why they want to locate in the center. A panel will be set up to evaluate the potential of the applying business, and to ensure that the jobs created by the new businesses will not eliminate existing ones. This is certainly a program that has much going RELIABLE TV & Service LOCATED IN THE WESTERN AUTO BUILDING ON M-37 IN CALEDONIA •All Brands TV Sets & Stereos •Craig Car Radios, Tape Players •Stereo Needles in Stock •We Do Insurance Work and make Home Service Calls for it. Not only can it aid new small businesses, but it can help rejuvenate dying urban areas. The cost to the state? Minimal, since most incubators are fun­ ded by federal dollars matched by the local com­ munity receiving center. The Small Business Administration estimates that small businesses create 65 percent of new jobs, and this is a good, inexpensive way for the state to encourage the development of small businesses. Since we haven’t seen any substantive action by the Governor on his jobs, jobs, jobs program, and since unemployment figures have leveled off in recent months, the sooner we start promoting business, the better. Clay Hills with WRETHA McNEE Wade Poland returned home Wednesday after three weeks in Florida with an aunt and uncle. Very nice time. Ida Skinner is about the same, still a patient at the Barry County Medical Care Facility. Larry, Sandra and Wade Poland took her mother and dad, the Glen Caldwells, and niece Diane to the Antique Auto show at Charlton Park Sunday. Parmelee Church was well attended Sunday. Lots of company, Catherine and Bud Cisler’s daughter and family from Washington, Vera (Fisks) Cline daughter and friends also attended. Cousins Keith and Till McNee called on me Mon­ day afternoon. I must extend my sympathy to family of Oscar Finkbeiner and also the family of John Goorhouse. Howard and June went north Wednesday to the Soo and returned home Thursday. I had Sunday dinner with Fern and Charles Poland. After dinner went for a long ride over to Joyce and Charley Fisher’s. A nice afternoon. I’d like to mention, we’d like Middleville to look nice for the Sesquicentennial. Sure would look much better if something was done to the side of the building where the hotel burned. Mr. Roon said Middleville needed a face lift. I agree. Audrey (McNee) Piebenga was over Saturday so Audrey and son Walter, Doris and I went out for lunch. Had supper that evening with Doris Haight.

BEELER 914 W. MAIN STREET / MIDDLEVILLE. MICH. Phone 795-3694 La * AT & T to Begin Separate Billing for Phone Leasing AT&T customers living in Michigan who lease telephones for their home or business will begin receiving separate bills for this service on Septem­ ber 1. Previously, all equipment charges for AT&T leased telephones were included in the monthly bills coming from the local telephone company. Although the charges on the bill will remain the same, AT&T has established different billing cycles. Customers leasing one or two telephones will now receive a bill only once each quarter. Those leasing three or more phones, or who have monthly charges of SI2 or more will continue to receive a bill each month. The bill changes in Michigan are a part of AT&T’s nationwide billing conversion program. “Nationally, it’s the most massive records conver­ sion and data processing endeavor in the history of American business,’’ said Norm Burnworth, AT&T’s manager located in Southfield. “The recent modernization of 36 million Social Security records took the Federal Government about five years. In comparison, we will convert nearly twice as many accounts in about one-third the time. More than 200 million records contained in 26 dif­ ferent billing systems, 87 revenue accounting offices and 52 billing data centers are involved in the national conversion. The face of the new bill has payment instructions plus a handy toll free number, 1-800-555-8111. customers can use should they have questions about their bills. Down Memory Lane WITH NORMA VELDERMAN Area Club Programs Betty Newman loaned me some old club programs. One was the Bonheur Club of 1912, 1913. From the programs listed. I would say it was a social club. The programs listed the following programs and hostesses: Halloween party. Minnie Barnes; Sewing, Mary Campbell; Thanksgiving. Vesta Curtis; Sewing. Ed­ na Smith; Christmas Tree. Annabel Campbell; Reading, Edith Jones; Sleigh Ride, Florence French; Valentine Eve, Elva Johnson; Pot luck. Jessie John­ ston; Entertainment by old members, Lucille Smith; St. Patricks, Alice Packard; April Fool. Edna Smith; Entertainment by new members. Rebecca Boyce; Marshmallow Roast, EStella Arnold; School Days. Lydia Finkbeiner, Louise Brown; “Finis Coronat Opus." Just for my own satisfaction. I’m asking you readers to help me, as to who they were, and had you heard of this club. Was it just a social club and how long did it last? Here are the members and what I ’ ve been able to dig up about them: Estelle Arnold (Parker) Arnold Parker’s mom; Minnie Barnes - (dad printed the paper and she ran the ice cream parlor where the tavern was; Rebecca Boyce, father was a businessman; Louise Brown, maiden lady, lived in Caledonia, dressmaker, later married a blacksmith; Annabel Campbell (Hutchin­ son) moved to Lake City or Merritt, relative of Bill Campbell; Mary Campbell (Mrs. Chris Maichele) worked at post office;Vesta Curtis (Mrs. Glen Griffeth); Lydia Finkbeiner (?), Florence French (in R.T.’s family);Jessie Johnston, Elva Johnston (?); Edith Jones (Stokoe); Alice Packard - maiden lady (?) and Edna Smith (?). This is nothing earth shattering nor of vital im­ portance, but it just helps us get a more complete picture of our “olden days.’’ Because, remember then they had to make their own entertainment. And I know I can relate to a bunch of “young ladies” or teenagers as we call them now, trying to make friends and have fun. So I’d appreciate any help, or corrections if I goofed. Thanks folks. I also have from Betty a 1910-1911 Reading Club program, that maybe I can put in some other time. They had 37 members and their program was quite varied. They were meeting to learn things. It tickled me to see that each meeting someone had charge of the spelling part of the program. They worked on spelling every meeting except the last one in J une • that was their picnic. They were really trying to im ­ prove themselves. (Here's part of the "olden days ” that we could revive. You should see some of the spelling we are subjected to!

Mary Ann Baerman to Head Bike-a-thon The Central Regional Office of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has announced that Mrs. Mary Ann Baerman has agreed to chair the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Bike-a-thon in Mid­ dleville. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was foun­ ded by entertainer Danny Thomas. The institution opened its doors to the public in 1962 to combat catastrophic diseases which afflict our children. St. Jude Hospital is non-sectarian, non-discriminatory, and provides total medical care to over 4,200 patien­ ts. At St. Jude, scientists and physicians are working side by side seeking not only better means of treat­ ment, but also the causes, cures and prevention of these terrible killers. All findings and information gained at the hospital are shared freely with doctors and hospitals all over the world. Thanks to St. Judes children who have leukemia, Hodgkin s disease, sickle cell anemia, and other child-killing diseases now have a better chance to live. The St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital ap­ preciates the concern that Mrs. Baerman has for their work and hopes the citizens of Middleville will support the Bike-a-Thon this fall to help provide the funds that are needed to preserve the world’s greatest asset - ‘‘our children.’’ Furnace Cleaning Special $52.00 Mt ATINO PAUL LAPHAM HEATING 4 COOLING Car Insurance? e 10-705 3900 O10.7922329 rAUU LAPHAM One name says it best.

Representative Reeve Sims and Sylvia Vanden Houten accompanied by three live animals entertained the crowd. The traveling zoo is part of the John Ball Park Zoo in Grand Rapids. Children listened to the animal handlers, asked questions and then were permitted to touch the animals. A guinea pig, a ferret and a Florida king snake were introduced to the crowd. In addition children were invited to participate in discovery boxes. Within these boxes were feathers, skulls and footprints. Children were allowed to match these items with pictures of the animals to whom they belong. It was an enjoyable, educational experience.

While bicycle fatalities dropped from 28 in 1982 to 20 last year, the 5-14 age group still represents 45 percent of all the bicycle fatalities in Michigan. “During the 1984-85 school year, we will hold ap­ proximately 2,100 school safety programs statewide for some 200,000 students,” stated Robert Cullen, the Auto Club’s Safety and Traffic Engineering manager. “The purpose of the workshops is to in­ struct students from pre-school through junior high school on pedestrian and bicycle safety practices.” When Michigan schools begin opening in Septem­ ber, Cullen cautioned that area motorists should be alert to the increased pedestrian traffic near and around school zones, especially during the early morning and mid-afternoon hours. Parents also can help ensure their children’s safety by teaching them the proper procedures for crossing streets. “Special attention should be given to the 142,733 students statewide who will be at­ tending elementary school for the first time,” he said. “Dart-outs and mid-block crossings are the major causes for most school-related traffic accidents,” Cullen pointed out. In addition to the workshops, safety belts, badges and training booklets will be distributed by the Auto Club to 1,800 Michigan schools. Parents may pick up free “School’s Open • Drive Carefully” bum­ per stickers and placemats from the Auto Club’s 54 full-service offices statewide. Cullen pointed out that Michigan law requires motorists to stop at least 10 feet behind school buses with flashers on as they load or unload. Motorists should not proceed until those lights stop flashing. Safety rules which parents should review with school-aged children include: •Cross only at intersections. •Look in all directions before crossing streets and watch for cars turning on gren lights or making legal turns on red lights. •Obey safety patrollers and crossing guards. •Walk on the sidewalk. If there isn’t one, walk facing traffic. •Dress in light-colored clothing for maximum visibility. • Follow the safest route to school, which should be planned on streets with low traffic volume and controlled intersections. Walk bicycles across busy intersections. ILETTERS Comments from our readers are welcome to be ex­ pressed in this column.

He often spoke about them as he was a member for twenty-five years. Their service to this community was a source of pride to him, and he was always interested in their needs and friendships. I feel badly that when put to a vote in Thomapple Township their requests were voted down. Have you ever ridden in an ambulance with the sirens piercing the air and the life support systems and two men working to save the person you love? I have had such a ride — four times with my mother, Clara Harper, in the ambulances, and I believe six times carrying Oscar to the hospital. Not every time were our Middleville firemen called to our rescue. The last time they came quickly, but it was too late for Oscar. How can we say “thank you” for this service, cheerful help and sympathetic support?” In a small thank you, I would like to donate our 74 Pontiac Catalina car to the firemen to dispose of as they wish and use the proceeds for your needed financial support.

Canning and freezing your own fruits and vegetables is an ex­ cellent way to recycle or, more accurately, re-use glass jars and plastic containers over and over again for many years. Be sure the jars used for canning are regular can­ ning jars - peanut butter and mayonnaise jars are not recommended because of the likelihood of breakage during the canning process. Properly prepared foods can be frozen in plastic freezer bags or freezer containers or even clean empty margarine tubs or peanut butter pails. New research into safe food storage has resulted in new techniques that can be learned from bulletins put out by the co-operative extension center. Call G.R. Junior Match Play.

Yet, for many poor people who had hoped to have their home winterized by now, it is time to be concerned. A $6 million program within the Department of Social Services had an annual target of upgrading and winterizing 5,500 dwellings. Although 687 houses have had energy audits, and 193 are finally ready for contractor bids, only six homes have been BILLIE’S BEAUTY SALON "ON THE LAKE" 555 S.

What has caused the delay? Initially, the entire process required 128 separate steps for each home, ranging from obtaining a signed client agreement and manually verifying the status of each mortgage and property tax account, to bidding contractors and running energy audits and before-and-after in­ spections. Some streamlining has subsequently taken place, cutting out several of the required steps, but there is also a problem with the contractors. Of the 52 licen­ sed Detroit contractors involved, not one completed a job satisfactorily the first time. That was a factor that wasn’t considered when the program was developed. While some of the problems cropping up can be attributed to the beginning wrinkles of a new program, it seems like an awful waste of money and manpower. The program is funded mainly through federal grants, and unless those monies are used they revert back to the federal government. While the concept of reducing home heating costs (which the state would normally have to help pay anyway) through a winterization program is not outlandish, a completion rate of six houses out of a targeted 5,500 shows definite defects in the program. The Department of Social Services has said from the beginning that 1,500 homes per year is a much more realistic target. Perhaps changes should be made to ease the implementation of the plan, and/or new completion targets should be set. The state can only continue to lose under the present guidelines. fg ••••••••••••••••••• For mre bfonuta al Brace JotaniN 795-7224 1 27 East Main Street / Downtown Middleville �g. 6 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Mi I Aug. 30,1984 at your Public Library by CHRIS BOYSEN Public Library Assistant Fantasy books have become very popular in the ist decade.

M Some of your childhood favorites are considered fantasy. Most folk tales contained elements of unreality told in a way that made you believe. Even if you didn’t believe it was fun to read of characters and settings with unique qualities. How many still enjoy watching Frank Baum’s The Wizard ofOz on television? (even after twenty showings). Do you remember Travers’ Mary Poppins or Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland? You have to admit that all of these stories contain some fantastic events. Maybe you are a fan of fantasy literature and don’t even realize it. Probably the best known and most appreciated fantasy author is J.R.R.Tolkien. If you have missed these books and would like to escape to another place (Middle Earth), I’m sure you will enjoy Tolkien books. Tolkien was a scholar of languages, primarily Anglo-Saxon and Old-English. He is known for translations of several pieces of literature. Professor Tolkien was born in 1892 and died in 1973. He is best known for his books: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings trilogy (Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King), The Su marillion. The Tolkien Companion, and the Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle Earth. C. L. Lewis has also enjoyed great popularity with fantasy fans. During his lifetime (1898-1963) Lewis wrote: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prin­ ce Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, The Horse and His Bay, The Magician's Nephew and The Last Battle. Most of these titles are available in the paperback section. Stephen Donaldson has had several fantasy books on the best seller list in the past two years. He created the series Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever. Thomas, a leper, is transported from this world into another in the First Chronicles Book I. There are three volumes in the First Chronicles and three in the Second Chronicles. Some are available in the paperback section. The newest, White Gold Wilder, is on the new book shelf. It’s the conclusion to the Chronicles. Many high school students have been especially impressed with the works of Anne McCaffrey. In the past twenty years she has written numerous books. Her best known works include: Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, Dragonquest, Dragonflight, The Ship who Sang and most recently Crystal Singer. Those who are looking for new fantasy books may want to consider Larry Niven’s The Integral Trees. Some argue that Niven is a science fiction author since he emphasizes technology in his books. I’m not going to argue it one way or another. You decide. He has written several other books, the most famous being Ringworid. If I’ve neglected your favorite fantasy author it may be due to ignorance. Please enlighten me! Guest Minister at Parmelee Church Rev. Floyd Nagel of Grand Ledge, Michigan, is to be the guest speaker this coming Sunday, Septem­ ber 2, at the Parmelee United Methodist Church. He will be remembered as graduating with the Class of 1924 from Middleville High School, and has spent the larger part of his life in the ministry.

The community was made richer because of their presence, and from 1849 when Isaac N. Keeler came to Mid­ dleville, until the late 1800's, the Keelers were influential people. They were merchants, bankers, manufac­ turers and local and state governmental of­ ficials. Isaac N. had five sons, four of whom made their mark in Middleville ana Grand Rapids. One of those sons, bom in 1862, was Miner S. Keeler. He, along with his brothers Ike and Will, took over the store that their father had founded and ran it very successfully for half a century. Miner's son, Isaac S. found upon his father's death a manuscript that he had published, and a copy has come to The Sun and News from Miner S. Keeler II, a resident of Grand Rapids. He has given us permission to reprint portions of the book. We nave found it a fascinating ac­ count of "Village Life'' in Middleville. My father s birthplace was Clifton Park, Saratoga County, New York, at the date of September 17, 1821.1 know very little regarding my father’s early history as his death occurred in 1893 and before we knew anything about his ancestors or gave matters of that kind much attention. Most of what we know is from hearing a little of his life from his own lips. I remember very distinctly his stating that he was an orphan at the age of nine and that he tried to make his living the best he could. There is one thing that I remember very distin­ ctly, his telling that they thought of binding him out to some family to bring him up but that he positively refused to be bound and said that he would do his part and do his best but that he wanted always to retain his freedom. During the winter months, out of compulsion, he stayed with his older brother who was married but without much means of support. Times were very hard in those days and being as young as he was, it was impossible for him to get work during winter months. I remember very distinctly hearing him say that when he was living with his brother, many times he by wagons to Middleville, a distance of thirty-three miles through new country over bad roads, or at times no roads at all. He never did like the mercantile business but con­ tinued to be the leading merchant until 1858 at which time he sold his store and moved to an eighty­ acre farm just north and inside the limits of the village. His farm was enlarged to three hundred eighty acres and he later sold one hundred five acres, in­ cluding his buildings, and rebuilt at the comer of his farm which was nearer to the center of the village and where Grand Rapids Street joins Main Street. He started in the position of a humble trader in 1850 with barely capital enough to give him a start and by sheer force rose to independent wealth and to a position that enabled him to give to each of his five sons, as they became of age, a capital of $4000 each, which was given to them on their twenty-first birth­ day together with a lot of good advice. He was well known throughout the entire Barry County and although he was president of the village at different times, he always tried to avoid publicity and refused political offices that were offered him. In politics he was a Republican and attended the * INTRODUCTION The manuscript for this book was found several years after my father’s (Miner S. Keeler) death. The penciled corrections he had made in it indicated that it was not complete and at one time 1 contemplated filling in some of the gaps and adding some com­ ments. However, on reading and re-reading at dif­ ferent intervals, I came to the conclusion that it stood best on its own feet. My father had such a complete life that it would be a tremendous volume were one to try to include it all. Some matters which were dominant interests in his life have come in for very little comment or remark. His close personal association during his early life with his brother George and in his later years with his brother Ike and their families has not been noted. Nor is there much, or any comment, on such business interests as the building of the Mor­ ton Hotel, the development of the Keeler Building property, the interest with his brother Ike in the Citizens Savings Bank at Owosso, the purchase and development of the Weber-Knapp Company of Jamestown, etc. Also, we find that no space is given to such important items in his life as his interest inthe Fountain Street Baptist Church or his Gun Lake cottages. Apparently the manuscript was prepared fairly late in father's life, and was intended mainly as a comment on his early existence in Middleville, and it is for that reason that it seems better to let it stand as it is. We may all wish that it was longer and more complete, but it is a very enlightening and in­ teresting document as it stands. I. S. Keeler left the table hungry, with the feeling that he should not share their food. On an automobile tour inl911orl912I visited Clif­ ton Park and, in making inquiries, called upon a Mr. Losee who lived in Clifton Park Center, a few miles out of Clifton Park. Mr. Losee lived in a very nice farm house and told me that my father worked as a carpenter in building his home. He went with me to the cemetery near there and showed me the grave of my grandfather, Isaac Keeler, whose death occurred December 9, 1830 in the thirty-ninth year of his age. Father lived in that community until he came to Michigan and engaged, when possible, in carpenter work. In later years he used to tell many stories about the building of the Erie Canal and the work * that was being done upon it as that was the center of all activities in those days in New York state. As one advances in years, the thought comes to He had gained a living until sixteen years of age him more and more as to what life is and what it has as a farm hand and after that by laboring during the been, and one wonders and wants to know more about where he came from and who he is and what his ancestors have been. I have never been very good on routine and although I have repeatedly tried to keep and write a diary that is one thing I never could accomplish. I am making this statement so as to cover the irregularities that will appear — possible mistakes in dates, etc. I will begin by telling a little about my father, Isaac Nathaniel Keeler. summer and attending school in winter he laid the foundation of a very practical education. Isaac Nathaniel Keeler My father’s older brother came out to Michigan In looking up my genealogy, I find my father, Isaac Nathaniel Keeler, to be a direct descendant of and had established a mercantile business in Prairieville, so my father decided to come out to Ralph Keeler who was bom in England about 1613. This makes my life the ninth generation, Michigan and see what opportunities presented American Born. It is a curious coincidence that my themselves to him. This was in the fall of 1849 at which time he was wife, Gertrude Spaulding Keeler, is also the ninth generation, American bom, as her first ancestor, twenty-nine years of age and his entire capital con­ Edward Spaulding, landed at Jamestown, Virginia sisted of $300. To show how hard times were in in 1619 . This was a little before the landing of the those days he stated that after he became of age he never did any work but that he would save a small Mayflower. Ralph Keeler was one of the earliest settlers of part of his earnings to go into capital. After visiting his brother at Prairieville, he Norwalk, Connecticut. We find him mentioned in 1651 or '52 in the lists of those to whom grants of pushed on to Middleville, which was then the location of a very small grist mill, and at this point land were made by the town authorities. In looking through these nine generations, I do A stock of goods was purchased with the capital not note any particular brilliancy although they were never in jail and usually were connected with of 8300 and was bought in New York, shipped by lake and railway to Galesburg and then transported some proteetant church. "... he (Isaac N. Keeler) es­ tablished the first trading post (in Middleville, 1849) " convention at Jackson, Michigan, where the republican party was born. Integrity and honesty were the watchwords of his business career and the stepping stones to his success. He was a charter member of the Middleville Bap­ tist Church and I have the book containing a sub­ scription list that was made by members and given to him for the building of the church. His death occurred in 1893. * Harriet E. Ellsworth Harriet E. Ellsworth was born in Windsor, Ver­ mont, January 18, 1832 and an orphan at the age of six months, adopted by Augustus Pease who resided successively in Ohio and Michigan. She later became a school teacher and was teaching in Middleville until her marriage, her last school being at Scales Prairie, two miles and a half west and south of Middleville. It was there that she made the acquaintance of my father, a merchant in Middleville, and this was one of his pet stories. He said this acquaintance was started through an introduction by the County school examiner. The Examiner had come to Middleville and was going out to visit the school and as my father always owned a good driving team of horses, he asked him to visit the school with him and father agreed by saying, ‘‘I’ll go with you — you can in­ spect the school and I will inspect the teacher.” They were married at the residence of Mr. States in Waterloo township in her nineteenth year. Mr. and Mrs. Pease, who lived in Hastings, had given mother a home and in return she moved them to Middlevlle and made a home for them until their death and they were buried in a cemetery one mile west of Middleville and were later moved to the Keeler burying lot in the present cemetery in Mid­ dleville. Mother’s death occurred March 24, 1893 in her sixty-first year, and can only say that her early death occurred by reason of a life of very hard work and the responsibilities she had taken. She was a mother of five children and most of her married life was spent upon a large farm where hired help was kept. She mostly did her work with one hired maid and many years without any help. Continued on following page �The Keelers But with all thia work upon her hands she always kept herself well advanced in reading and never sat down to read without having a dictionary by her side and was very particular about her pronun­ ciation. After student classes were formed in Middleville she was always a member and she was a member of the Baptist Church which was largely built by reason of my parents’ efforts and by their being the largest contributors. Miner S. Keeler I was born October 18. 1862 upon a farm north of Middleville. There was in our family three older brothers and one younger: Edwin Augustus Keeler, bom September 26. 1853 and whose death occurred March 24, 1877. Isaac Herman Keeler, born January 22. 1856. Married in 1882 to Susan Alida Nesbitt. His death occurred in Blodgett Hospital May 2. 1923. William Ellsworth Keeler, born August 28, 1859 and married September 16, 1885 to Kitty May Combs. George Lincoln Keeler, born April 8, 1865, married to Clara Spaulding April 12. 1893. It is curious to note that for about one half of each year there is three years difference in all of our ages. My earliest remembrance as a very small child, while living on a farm just north of Middleville, was of my father selling his farm and building a homestead at the head of Grand Rapids Street, very close to the center of the town. The building of this home was extremely in­ teresting to me as a child. The lumber in the house was very choice and was brought from Grand Rapids during the winter months and as my father did everything well, he erected a dry-kiln to thoroughly dry and season the lumber before it was put into the house. The first school that I attended was a red brick schoolhouse, one story high and containing two rooms. The primary room was rather small and con­ tained home-made benches. The teacher was Miss Warner, a woman about fifty years old and she was a very fine woman. In the schools in those days there was a good deal of spanking done and she had a hand the size of two which she found very useful, but beyond that she was a very fine lady and teacher. I was not a very good student but as my father was a member of the School Board, the teachers seemed to think they would get along better if they pushed me ahead so I would be advanced a grade and the second teacher would find that I was not equal to it and would set me back again. In those days there was no fire department in Middleville and when a fire occurred, they would ring the church bells and if this occurred during school hours, we would start for the door and if the teacher got ahead of us, we would jump out of the windows as a fire was more important than anything that could happen. As I became older, I was advanced to the other room where we had the same homemade benches and the teacher there, instead of using his hand for spanking, used an eighteen-inch ruler and sometimes he would send one of the big boys out to cut a whip for him. Boys were boys in those days and pretty rough, and many tricks were played. I remember very well one boy by the name of Eugene Deck who one day brought into the school and threw into the stove a dead rabbit and the smell was so bad the teacher had to dismiss school. He knew he would get a licking and before going back to school he came over to our home which was about one block from the school, and we took him to the barn in back of the house and took off his shirt and tied around him a very large tanned sheep skin. Then we put his shirt on top of that and he got the licking. As the ruler would hit his back, it sounded like the beating of a big bass drum and he made as much fuss as if he were hurt. Many other things could be recalled of pranks that were played. Later came the building of the new schoolhouse, a three story brick building which was an enlargement over the old one. This new schoolhouse contained factory made school benches which were thought to be very nice. One teacher I remember very well and one more incident might be related — one morning as I came to school I was met by this principal and he rushed me into the basement which was filled with wood for the furnace. He had in his hands a hard example in arithmetic which was all figured out and he told me to study the example so that I could do it when he called upon me. I learned the example by heart and studied in the cellar for a couple of hours until he came after me. It seemed he gave this example to the high school class and when none of them could do it, he told them it was so simple that he could go into the in­ termediate room and find a scholar who could do it and I was the scholar. When called into the room, of course I looked curious and serious and studied it for a few minutes and then told him yes, I thought I could do it so I was sent to the blackboard and finished the example on it and then he went on talking to the class about it, scolding them and telling them how dumb they were. I often wonder what has become of Prof. Wallace. "The district was bonded for the (school) building to amount of $10,000” As a boy I used to enjoy attending the yearly school meeting and hear the debates about the money that was being spent. The way the schoolhouse was built and financed was quite interesting. My father was very anxious for the building of the new schoolhouse and he was for many years treasurer of the school district. After many meetings they voted for the erection of the schoolhouse and it was erected on the same lot where the old schoolhouse was. The district was bonded for the building to the amount of $10,000 and the cheapest rate of interest was 10% in those days. Every time the interest was paid upon these bonds, my father would say, "That’s what comes to me by being the Treasurer of the school’’ as he would have liked to buy these bonds when they were issued but felt that it was not proper for him to do so while acting as treasurer. Ten per cent was the going rate in those days and m y father, who loaned a good deal of money, after interest commenced to go down would say that when he couldn't get ten percent for his money, he would let it lie still. But interest kept going down and when his estate was settled after his death, the mortgages and papers he held were mostly at seven per cent which was about the lowest rate up to the time of his death in 1893. Getting back to the schoolhouse again — it was placed upon a very large lot which left plenty room for baseball grounds and baseball was the great game. Asa boy we watched the playing of the league clubs with the same interest as at the present day. Nearly every year during the summer there was an excursion to Detroit to see the baseball games. This day was a very hard one; the trains had nothing a ofl Middleville's West Man Street in the early 1900's. The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I Aug. 30, 1984 / Pg. 9 but common coaches and were fastened together with an iron link and pin. When the engineer wished to slow down or stop the train, he would blow the whistle and the brakeman would rush to the plat­ form and turn the hand-brakes and slow down or stop the train. These excursions to Detroit would start early in the morning from Grand Rapids and arrived home very late at night. I remember as a boy when attending these games that to put my fingers on a ball that had been touched by a league player would have been a great joy and accomplishment, and to have a ball come up into the stand and throw it back to one of the league players was a great event. They did not do as they are doing now — keep every ball that goes into the stand. We had the usual baseball clubs and we had a team that we called the "Clippers" that we thought could not be beaten, but we had no regular baseball grounds and when we did play, we had only one ball to play with and that would generally be for two or three games. Our suits were all homemade, the fabric was calico and the pants and shirts made by our mothers. To show the kind of a mother I had. I remember very well taking a small basket of eggs to town in the morning, picking out and buying enough cloth for a shirt with the proceeds, and she made the shirt and finished it so that I could wear it to a baseball game in the afternoon. To think of a mother doing this with five boys, and no girls to help, and she without help part of the time, one can imagine how thrifty my parents were. As I was saying this’, I was thinking of how cheap things were in those days. Our farmhouse being right in the village, I remember very distinctly the neighbors buying their milk from us and the price was three cents a quart if they would come to the door and get it. My father was a great lover of horses and as early as I can remember, he always had one span of horses for his own use for carriage driving and he generally had one horse that we boys could use for riding. If there was anything that he was fond of it was trading horses. As I have related, when we boys became twenty-one years of age. my father always called us aside, took us into the basement and presented us with $4,000, saying that the first money was the hardest to earn and that it took him until he was twenty-eight to get together a capital of $300. He would give us this money and a lot of good ad­ vice, telling us how to take care of it, and would end up by saying that anyone after they became twentyone years of age could stand on their own feet and that if we ever traded horses with him, we would have to be careful. My brother, Isaac, who was six years older than I, after he became of age thought he would keep a hor­ se for himself. A little later he wanted to exchange it for one that father had and kept bantering him for a trade. Father would not enter into it at all or make any recommendations, but finally told him that if he wished to exchange horses, he would do so. About the first time he went into the stall with the horse that he had exchanged for he found that his new horse had what is known as "blind-staggers" or fits and he went out of the stall by climbing through the front. The trade was a fair one and father seemed to feel pretty well satisfied. There was another incident that was quite in­ teresting — in those early days there was lots of horse trading and the parson of the Methodist Church liked it about as well as father. In fact, he liked it so well that the church deacons told him he would have to quit horse trading or quit the church. Father heard of this so the next time he met the parson he said, "I’ve got a horse you ought to have and you’ve got one I ought to have." "Well," the parson said, "the deacons got after me for trading horses and told me I mustn’t trad£ any more." “Well," father says, "I didn’t want to trade horses with you - you buy my horse for $100 and I’ll give youilOO for yours." So the trade was made and the church deacons seemed to be satisfied. When I was fifteen years old I remember very well the sickness of my brother Edwin A. who was twen­ ty-three years old when his death occurred. This was the first time that death had ever been prominently brought home to our family and the shock was one from which my mother never recovered and a shock that to me as a child I never forgot. The year following my brother s death a trip West wit mother and the family would be very beneficial as up to that time, it had been steady work and very few vacations given to anyone. Father, when he did a thing, did it well, so he decided that we should all go to Denver for a couple of months and he took all the children along — Isaac, William, George and myself.

Mi / Aug 30.1984 Caledonia Woman in Special MSV Program Janice Ann Meyer, 76th Street, Caledonia, is one of 15 students in the MSU College of Agriculture and Natural Resources who will participate in a unique off-campus academic program this fall. The Rural Resources Education Program will be taught for one 10-week academic term at the univer­ sity’s Kellogg Biological Station near Battle Creek. Students will live in the KBS dormitories and study agriculture and natural resources through an in­ novative blend of hands-on experience and classroom instruction. “The program addresses two important needs.” says coordinator and professor Harrison Gardner. “It prepares students for leadership roles in GMR agriculture and natural resources industries in the 21st century, and it provides a practical experience in farm work for the majority of students who have no farm background, or whose farm experience may be limited to one commodity or type of production. The multifaceted approach to agriculture and natural resources taken by the new program will prepare future leaders for important roles in these industries. Each student will study such topics as animal science, agronomy, horticulture, farm and forest management, resource development, and fisheries and wildlife. They will examine how each area fits into the entire American food production and distribution system, and why each area is im­ portant to it.

TK Class of 1938 Holds Reunion The TK Class of 1938 held a reunion Saturday, August 18, with a 1:00 dinner at the United Methodist Church. This was the first reunion since the alumni banquets were discontinued. Many had not seen each other since graduation. There were 44 graduates in the Class of 38 - 2 were unable to be reached and four are deceased. Much reminiscing was done, and each gave a short resume of their life since graduation. Some who were unable to attend sent their resume, which were read to the group. L.R. Hooper made name tags with our graduation pictures on them, which helped to iden­ tify each other. Pictures were taken and the group decided to meet again in two years. Pictured above, those attending were: back row, from left; Theron Neil, Lake City; Duella (Wilcox) Dooling. Hastings; L. R.

The team is looking forward to a very good season. Seven star­ ters from last year's Conference Championship team return to defend their title. There are 20 girls out for the team this year, 15 of those players are freshmen and sophomores. Four seniors will start this season. No juniors will be in the starting line-up. Hamilton seems to be the only team to have a solid shot at taking the title from the Trojans this year. Hamilton returns a very strong team this year including a runner-up at first singles and a conferen­ ce champion at second singles. Deb Ploeg will hold the number one singles position again this year. Deb won the conference title at first singles last year, and looks forward to another successful season. Jennifer Geukes will play second singles this year. Jennifer won tl^e conference title at third singles last year. Jennifer has been hampered by a bad knee this year, but appears to be able to hold down the second singles position. Both Deb and Jennifer are sophomores. Sara Schondelmayer and Karyn Elies are still trying to determine who will play the third and four­ th singles positions. More challenge matches will be played between these two, since they are so close. Sara won the first doubles championship last year, playing with graduated Sandi Wierenga. Karyn won the second doubles title last year with Kathy Miner. Both Sara and Karyn are seniors this year. Kristy and Kathy Miner will play the first doubles position most of the year. Kristy won the fourth singles title last year, and was a second team all conference selection. However she has not been able to break into the singles line-up as yet. Both Kathy and Kristy are seniors this year. Jean Stander and Melissa VerStrate will play second doubles to start the season. Both girls have improved a great deal since last year and are ready to contribute a great deal to the team this year. Freshmen Julie DeMorrow and sophomores Lisa Wolverton and Missy Rounds will alternate at third doubles. Another player, freshman Michelle Errair will also see some action at third doubles. Other players on this year’s team include some very promising freshmen. The rest of the Trojan squad consists of the following players: Kathy Cooley, Chris Wohlford, Amy Gossett, Gina Adams, Shannon Herweyer, Ginger Cook, Renee Cramer and Renee Curtis.

Ml I S«pt 6.1984 EARLY DAYS IN MIDDLEVILLE WITH THE KEELERS Keeler Brass Was Founded... and Left Middleville eleven. Saturday was always a big day for our store as the farmers always made that their trading day. The store was a general one, dealing in clothing, dry-goods, hats, caps, shoes, groceries, etc. The store was never closed until all the goods were straightened up, the counters emptied, and shelves well taken care of. We had long curtains covering the shelves to keep the goods clean and these were put up every night. The first job early in the morning was to clean the lamps. This was before the day of the large kerosene lamps even. We had small lamps and chandeliers throughout the store, and the lamps would have to be taken down, filled, and the chimneys cleaned. In those days the farmers sold their butter and Miner S. Keeler was destined to become a mer­ new box of goods be opened without being there and eggs at the stores and there would be the filling of chant and he began clerking in his brother Isaac H. helping. All goods came from the East and at that the crates with eggs, and when a dull day came, Keeler's store in the late 1870's.

I was left to manage the Middleville store and from then on it was a strife between both stores as to which would make the most money. After about three years in Charlotte, my brothers decided to retire from business. It was their thought that they would combine their goods with the store in Middleville and let me manage it. I did not like to assume the entire responsibility of handling the matter in that way so I told them that if they would take my notes, I would purchase from them their interests. This they agreed to do and this was really the first business venture for myself. At that time I had $9,500 in the business so I gave them notes for a total of $19,000. This seemed like a very big venture to me and I worried about it some, and for the first two or three nights could not sleep, but then the thought came to me that if I was to pay those notes, I would have to sleep to be in good shape for my work and that worrying would only cause me to be a failure, so I tried to drop worrying, but I certainly worked daytimes. With this larger stock of goods which I brought to Middleville, we had a stock of close to $30,000. I was enabled to increase the business quite a good deal and for a country merchant, I feel that what I did was splendid, as beginning with the following year I made more money in the store than the two stores had ever made, and in four years I was able to take between $26,000 and $27,000 net profits out of the business, and I think I can honestly say that in those four years I did nearly as much business as all the other merchants and grocers in town. There is one incident that I shall always remem­ ber in connection with my first year at the store; having such a large stock by putting the two stores together I did not need so many new goods so I thought instead of going to New York for the annual buying trip, I would try Chicago. Our store had always had an excellent credit and our bills were always paid in cash and discounts taken, but owing so much and having so little PRE PUBLICATION PRICE capital, I thought it was best to avoid making any $750 statements to commercial agencies. Thinking that I had splendid credit, I went to YOU Chicago and after spending a day at Marshall (OFFER GOOD THRU SEPT. 17, 1984) Field’s Wholesale store getting prices, I thought I would tell the Credit Department about the change in the names of the store and told them that I was PRICE OF COOKBOOK DURING going to buy some goods, etc. The finance man says, MIDDLEVILLE'S SESQUICENTENNIAL “I knew about the change in the store but I was also CELEBRATION WEEK WILL BE S8.50 told by Dun’s that you would not make a financial statement.” It seemed it was time for my bluff.

Ml 49333 Continued on following page There was perhaps no other family in Mid­ dleville's formative years that had a greater in­ fluence than the Keeler family. The community was made richer because of their presence, and from 1849 when Isaac N. Keeler came to Mid­ dleville, until the late 1800's, the Keelers were influential people. They were merchants, bankers, manufac­ turers and local and state governmental of­ ficials. Isaac N. had five sons, ‘our of whom made their mark in Middlevili e and Grand Rapids. One of those sons, bom in 1862, was Miner S. Keeler. He, along with his brothers Ike and Will, took over the store that their father had founded and ran it very successfully for half a century. Miner's son, Isaac S. found upon his father's death a manuscript that he hadpublished, and a copy has come to The Sun and News from Miner S. Keeler II, a resident of Grand Rapids. He has given us permission to reprint portions of the book. We have found it a fascinating ac­ count of "Village Life*’ in Middleville. READY SOON!

At four o'clock 1 called at his office and simply said, "Are my goods being shipped?” He said "Yes”, and I walked out. Whether my actions surprised him and delighted him, or whether he got references during the day, I do not know, but I do know that it was the last time I ever went to a credit man and asked if my credit was good, and as long as I was in business, I never was refused any credit. The notes given my brothers for SI9,000 were paid very rapidly and every bill of the store was cash discounted. The business, as it became larger, became ex­ tremely interesting and it was with a great deal of pride that I tried to have it look like a city store. It was enlarged so that we had two entrances with plate glass windows on either side and the store was one hundred feet deep and forty feet wide. A cashier was installed and cash carriers were put in, and I had every reason to be proud of it. One important thing should be mentioned — I had a double store front with large plate glass windows in them which made it quite an imposing front for a small town, and, of course, the sidewalks had to be swept and kept clean. I always managed to do that work about the time that I thought a certain young girl would be going by to school. She had very beautiful hair which she wore loosely, or in braids, hanging down her back to her waistline. This is the young lady, Gertrude Spaulding, who later became my wife. I suppose the most important thing in one’s life is the date of their marriage. This event occurred August 17, 1887, with Gertrude Spaulding, the young lady just spoken of. This event occurred at the home of her mother and for a wedding trip we went to New York City. I suppose this trip was arranged so that I could combine business with pleasure and purchase goods needed for the store at the same time. After my marriage we commenced housekeeping at once and how we did it, we don’t know, as my drawing salary at the store was $750 a year, but I found after three or four years that I had overdrawn my account about $400 or $500. There was very little entertainment in a town of seven hundred people. Of course there was church on Sundays, and five or six of us couples who would have a party once in a while, playing cards, and we would go to a dance or two during the winter. The dances in those days were all square dances but a good time was had in many ways. One of the most important moments in our life was the birth of our son, Isaac S. Keeler, born in Middleville, July 5, 1980, and I came pretty near not being home. There was a big celebration at Streeter’s Landing, Gun Lake, July 4th, and I wan­ ted to go to the celebration. In those days whenever a couple had a baby, weight at birth was very impor­ tant and a man did not think much of himself unless he was the father of a large baby. Isaac weighed 9 pounds and of course I was very happy. As I have previously stated, in those days stores always kept open until nine o’clock at night and if we had anyone in the store who we thought was a good customer, much later. Especially in the winter months when there wasn’t much to do. men would come in in the evening and sit around a big round stove which we had and tell stories until eleven o'clock and the only thing we could do was to keep the store open as long as they wanted to sit and talk. On one of these evenings, a man by the name of Wilson came in with a friend of his, both from Grand Rapids. They had been down to Middleville hunting and Mr. Wilson began by telling us that he was the superintendent of the Grand Rapids Brass Com­ pany. He said that they were doing a wonderful business and the factory business was so large that they could not take care of their customers and that he was the means of their success. He said that if he could get in business for himself he could do wonders and that he had all the knowledge and facts to make a business very suc­ cessful. Well, the boys around the stove listened to all this and became quite excited. In these years every town was bidding for industries and this seemed like a wonderful chance, so a meeting was called and Mr. Wilson told what he could do and we decided to try and start a company. Of course, we were all anxious to boom the town and it ended by forming the Middleville Manufac­ turing Company with a cash capital of $26,700 sub­ scribed and paid in. It was thought that by obtaining water power from the river that was there this would be a great success, so the water power was obtained and a fac­ tory was constructed, and Mr. Wilson, knowing it all, had done all the buying and started business. He was not in any way what he pretended to be, and as we were not used to the manufacturing business, it took the directors some time to find it out. They all wanted to fire him, but without him we would not have any organization, for none of knew anything about manufacturing. I was one of the directors and we had a little office in one corner of the building with a great big, round stove in it. We would call a Directors’ Meeting to consider things and each of us was afraid to talk from the fact that we never had been a Director before and so did not know how to direct. It is very funny to think about how the Directors would act — everyone wanted something done but they wanted the other fellow to do it and to work off their nervousness, one would get up and poke the fire and put in a big piece of wood, and in about five minutes another would get up and poke the fire and put in another big stick or two, and all the time the office would be so hot that one could hardly exist in it. We would urge Mr. Wilson to give the business better attention. He had no ideas of finance but he did enjoy hunting and fishing, and one thing he seemed to enjoy the most was doing down to the dam and sit by the hour fishing. We finally got enough courage to discharge him and the company was without a man to manage. Business continued in a small way as best it could until the panic of 1893. The panic of 1893 was nearly like the depression which we are now passing through. One day I remember, there were six or seven firms in Rockford, Ill., that filed the same day and they were all owing our company. In the meantime, will state, that while the com­ pany was hard up and needed more money and could not get it at the bank, that the Keelers advanced money to them on their notes to the amount of $16,000. With the coming of the panic and the hard times they felt that they could not further advance money to a company that was in as bad shape as it evidently was. As I was in the store business, star­ ting the factory was quite a little help to me and I suppose this was the reason that we took the chance in advancing them money. Finally things became so bad at the factory that we asked them to call a meeting of the stockholders and if they could not make any arrangements to pay us in any way, they should go into the hands of a Receiver. Without any urging on our side, they gladly did it and we asked them to vote and select a Receiver of their own choice. As you may guess, the panic of 1893 was very severe. The receiver was not able to find anyone to purchase the plant and was unable to dispose of it in any way. While the Receiver was running the plant, creditors would write in and say that they had been shipping goods to the company thinking the Keelers would stand behind it and they also said that the bank had told them that the Keelers were bhind it. This was not true as we had never in any way placed ourselves as helping them get goods on credit. We were young and had lots of courage and, rather than to have any criticism, my three brothers and myself told the Receiver to liquidate as best he could, pay the creditors first and then, if there was enough, to pay us. By closing down and selling off the goods there was enough cash to pay all the outside creditors one hundred cents on a dollar and they had a balance of $4,000 toward what they owed us, leaving a balance of $12,000 that could only be paid by selling the plant for what it would bring and we lose the balan­ ce. The court ordered the property sold and when the day of the sale came, we thought by bidding for it we could get the price up to a possible $10,000 as we thought the Milling interests in the village would pay up to $10,000 to get the building and water power, but the milling interests stopped bidding at $7,500 and it was knocked down to us at that figure to apply upon our own debt. This seemed to us like an exceedingly hard blow. We had never known anything about the manufac­ turing business and did not care to get behind suah a failure so we informed the stockholders, telling them that rather than for them to lose the money they had put into it, if they felt that there was anything in the business that we would lock up the building for six months and if they would raise enough to pay us the auction price for the building, or $7,500, they could have the property an^i we would lose the balance. The building was lockeo up until the following spring. The stockholders made no effort to purchase it so we thought the best thing we could do would be to start up the business and try to turn the balance of the goods into cash and try to dispose of the property as a going concern, but we were never ap­ proached by a customer wanting it so we found our­ selves in the Brass business. The spring following the time we acquired proper­ ty, we started it up to try and sell it and capitalized the property at $12,500, the exact amount of cash we had in it, besides losing the common stock we had taken at the time the factory was started. We advanced to the new company, upon its notes, The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml / Sept. 6, 1984 / Pg. 9 a little money which was afterwards paid back, but the $12,500 represents the only capital that remained invested and the present Keeler Brass Company has grown entirely from that original in­ vestment. One can imagine how difficult it was to start a fac­ tory after the panic of ’93 and my brother George who had taken charge to make an attempt to get it started, carried on the business for a couple years and naturally became very much discouraged and many times wished to close it up and take our loss. It was in the fall of 1895 that he finally came to me and said that he was through and that he was going to quit. We all seemed to realize that if we could get it started there would be the making of a big business. I had become tired of the store business from the fact that I had been unable during the last two years to increase my sales to any extent and, rather than have the factory shut down, I suggested to George that if he would do the traveling and sell the goods, I would try the factory end of it and give it my ex­ clusive time. He was a good salesman and it looked quite possible that we could make a success of it. This met with his approval and I at once turned my store business over to one of the clerks, giving him entire charge of it in every way. I might say that while I was trying to learn the Brass business and my head clerk was having charge of my store, the sales in the succeeding years dropped forty per­ cent, and a store that had been making better than $6,000 a year was not making any money. One who starts should not look back; I had gone into the factory and for three years the business did not make any profit except that I had learned the business to some extent. One thing I can remember very distinctly — every time that I turned the comer to go down to the plant I would grit my teeth and say, "I will get you yet,” and during these three years I was in hopes that some cyclone would come along and wreck the building so that the failure would not be charged to us, but no cyclone was seen in the skies. It was three years of working without seeing my way out but there is one thing true in this world that if one does his best and works hard, he can win, and this was the case with the Brass company. After about three years of very hard work, it began to make a little money. During these three years I became fully convinced that to make money fast the business would have to be in Grand Rapids. I say this from the fact that the Brass business consists in making goods of style, knowing what the furniture manufacturers want, and being up and ahead of the times. This could not be done in Middleville as there was no incentive. One needs to live among people who are doing things in a larger way and who are making greater accomplishments. It is like unto a horse in a race, to get the best out of him you must have a pace-maker. We talked over moving the factory to Grand Rapids but my brother George was opposed to this. He said the business was started with Middleville money and that Middleville should have the benefits of it, but as we were in a village of seven hundred people and we were hiring sixty or seventy of them, the difficulties of manufacturing can be understood. These were also the years in which they were for­ ming unions and they were trying to establish one in the plant. We paid no attention to these matters and things went along as they were. Our business was growing and we had already doubled the size of the plant. But one day a matter came up which caused brother George to change his mind. We had a man by the name of Mr. Hobson working for us, a very fine Englishman and a very fine man. He was the superintendent of the plant and there was one man in our polishing department wo generally got drunk every Saturday night and always wanted to fight. We found out afterwards that he had told some of the boys in the department that the next time the superintendent said a word to him he was going to give him a licking, so without any provocation he knocked the superintendent down and caused a good deal of trouble. I was very glad George was at home because when he learned about the fight he came to me and said that this was provocation enough and if I thought it would be better to Grand Rapids, it would be satisfactory to him. He imparted this information to me in the forenoon and I took the first train going to Grand Rapids and made a contract for the purchase of a piece of land now occupied by the Keeler Brass Company. It took a great deal of courage to make this move from the fact that the business was still small, but in youth there is courage and daring. But even at that, as I look back at it, I hardly see how one could have had the courage to do it. I was a country boy, never had lived in a city, and knew nothing of the way things were done except in a small town. �P|. 101 The Sun and Hawi, Middleville, Ml I Sept *6, 1984 —- ---------------------------------------------------------------- NEWS OF YOUR CALEDONIA NEIGHBORS with ANNE RABB and THELMA GEHL The senior citizens of the Caledonia area are plan­ ning many nice trips, so there will be plenty of places to go to see interesting things for the coming months.

How far away it seemed, and with three smaller at home it was hard to escort. A lesson in trust!)... our first year in the country and the bus stopped at our driveway - then there were three boys waiting for the bus and four pair of young eyes watching out the windows ... and now it’s been 8 years since our last son began his senior year. What a great adventure. Yes, moms, you will look back on these sometimes traumatic days with nostalgia - even the times when your child rode the wrong bus and came home an hour later in a car! I sometimes wish the storehouse of my memory wouldn't hold so fast to some of its treasures because all to often, as the years go by, certain things get lost in the corners or cling to the sides .. and I can't remember where a certain book is, someone’s birthday.... or where I put the car keys! Can you tell by this rambling I didn’t call anyone for news? Did make a few unsuccessful tries, then the time just went. Sharon Becker called the office, though, and I asked what they'd been doing this summer. Among other things, the boys have all had a (separate) week at camp.

Ann Bartlett Ruth Newhouse A scaled down version of the old covered bridge that once crossed the Thornapple River in Middleville, will be dedi cated this Saturday at Historic Bowens Mill. The replica (see similarity with the drawing in the Sesquicentenmal em blem above) is called The Big 'M' and was built partly from old timbers from the razed French's Mill in Middleville. To Dedicate Covered Bridge Many exciting things will be taking place this Saturday as “The Past Lives Again” at the Historic Bowens Mill Old Fashion Fall Fest. One of the big features of the day will be the opening of the newly constructed covered bridge that crosses Payne Creek on the south side of the mill. Mill owner Neal Cook designed the structure and it was patterned after the old covered bridge in Middleville and was built in honor of Middleville’s Sesquicentennial Celebration which will be held the week of Septem­ ber 23. The bridge will be called The Big “M” Bridge. Most of the material was donated by Mike Molenar, who razed the old French Mill in Middleville. Some of the lumber used in the construction was from that old mill, which was built in the 1880s and tom down in 1980. The bridge is 7 foot wide and 37 ft. long, and is made mostly of old Michigan white pine. Massive 3x12 planks make up the stringers and roadway, held together with 6” spikes. Criss-cross side supports are pinned in the center with 1” white oak wooden pegs The roof has 3x5 rafters and har­ dwood roof boards, and is covered with cedar shingles. The builders of the bridge were Brian Fifelski, Mike Molenar, Don Coleman. Sandy O’Dell and Owen Sabin. Brian is "the Millers Helper” and has been employed at the Mill all summer. All the others donated their time. The builders will meet on the east bank at 11:00 a.m. and will use an old crosscut saw to sever a timber, as a symbolic ribbon cutting ceremony. Al Conklin will be on hand with his Silver King tractor, which has been restored by Carl Hula. Jim Springer will have his big 10-horse Economy Gasoline Engine chugging away, and Dave Otto will be giving rides on his Case steam engine. Anyone else wishing to show their antique engines are in­ vited to join in the fun. A French Voyager camp will be set up on the edge of the mill pond. Cal and Jenny Lamoreaux plan to offer rides on their 26 ft. French Canoe duNord. Bud Pierce and friends will be playing the fiddles, banjos, dulcimers and other old time instruments. A special of the day will be tours of the fourth level of the mill which houses the workshop and grain storage area. Many ancient gears and pullies can be seen. The efforts of the craftsmen of a bygone era are seen as one views the post and beam con­ struction, etc. This upper floor also serves as an art gallery which will be showing just pictures of Bowens Mill. The day will end with an old fashioned bonfire singalong led by Chris Bellisle of the Sacrifice of Praise. This will be the last gospel sing of the season. There is a SI.00 gate fee for adults, and kids of all ages are free. �Pg. 21 The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml / Sept. 13,1984 Z"-------------------------------------------X at your Public Library Middleville Boy Scouts Thomapple Kellogg School ’A Official Board Minutes by CHRIS BOYSEN Public Library A ssistant \_____________ -___________—--------------------- / Sometimes it amazes me that everyone within a ten-mile radius of Middleville does not know about the public library. Yet it shouldn’t. Our community continues to grow. For all of the new residents, as well as the old who are newly interested, let me repeat all the important information regarding the public library. Even the seasoned veterans may not know all of these details. The Middleville Public library is located within the Thomapple Kellogg High School. It’s easily ac­ cessible by using the front entrance (Bender Road) of the high school. During the school year, Septem­ ber through June, the Library is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday thru Friday. Holiday and summer hours may vary. The high school collection is housed in this library as well, however public patrons are encouraged to use the library during school hours. In addition, the public library is open Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 6 to 9 p.m. All patrons are welcome at this time. Becoming a patron of the library is very easy. All that is required is that you fill out and sign a registration card. An orange card with your library number is then issued free of charge. This card en­ titles you to check out books from this collection as well as borrow from Lakeland libraries. The Middleville library is part of the Lakeland Library Cooperative. More than seventy area libraries belong to this cooperative. All these libraries (including Grand Rapids Public) interloan books. If we do not own a book which a patron desires, it is probable that one of the other libraries will loan it to us. Thus the public library has access to thousands of books which we don’t own. At this time the public library is in the process of adding all titles into the Lakeland computer system. Not only will this provide book availability information, but it will enable the staff to provide quicker, more ac­ curate circulation at the check out desk. Within this library are several book collections. There are children's books, junior books, both fic­ tion and non-fiction, adult fiction and non-fiction, high school fiction and non-fiction, a reference sec­ tion, various paperback collections, and a career resource center. Magazines and newspapers are also available. Those who read only for recreational purposes may want to broaden their horizons with some honfiction books. There is almost unlimited information free of charge. Perhaps you have had questions on travel, gardening, cooking, sewing, energy conser­ vation, retirement, appliance repair, interior decorating or investments. Answere may be available by simply consulting a book. I can think of no one who wouldn’t benefit from a visit to the library. It’s an ideal place for students, families and senior citizens. Now that you have all the necessary information, I hope library visits will becompe part of your weekly routine. It’s one of the best parts of my routine. Bible Study at Caledonia Christian Reformed Coffee Break, an interfaith Bible study for women of all ages, will be held at Caledonia Christian Reformed Church on Tuesday mornings from 9:30 until 10:45 a.m. beginning September 18.

Mercedes French, in her article on the Prairie, mentioned the Coman and Bassetts as part of the Prairie pioneers, even if they were in Yankee Springs Township. When they came, there was only Barry Township (now County) as part of Kalamazoo, or St. Joseph County. When the early settlers came, it was just land they liked, so cleared and developed it. Boundaries came later for those of us who needed specific addresses and streets. And of course, for the legal descriptions necessary for busy world. I became acquainted with Helen (Coman) and George Evans when I was trying to get information to help me build a topographical map of our area when the pioneers were here. I call them my historical godparents because when I need something cleared up • or to locate, I ask them and up comes the answer. They’ve saved me so much reading and chasing, I’m forever grateful to them. Helen brought Marj Currier (her mom was Wm. Coman's daughter) when she was here from Florida. Marj brought an old tintype of the Coman family in to show me. It was minus the mom, who had ap­ parently died. You know how faded and hard to see the features are on most tintypes. This one was really quite good for a tintype, and of course no one wants to loan a precious thing as that, let alone let it out of your hands. So Marj generously came to the Sun office with us and they tried making a photo copy of it. They had never done a tintype before, and were not sure of the results. Wow, was the print ever a dandy. It was really more clear than the tintype. They were so surprised and pleased at its clarity they ordered a bunch of like prints for their families, so they could all have copies and not have to argue over the original. When Helen brought in Nelson and Amanda’s pic­ tures, Nelson’s was very faint. You should have seen how clear the black and white copy was. Helen or­ dered some for her children. Folks, how about bringing in your precious old photos and see for yourself what a beautiful job it does, before those photos are lost? They can’t guarantee perfect results, they do not harm the photo and it never leaves your eyes. Come see and appreciate our lovely new machine. The Nelson Coman's Nelson Coman and Amanda Betterly Coman were early pioneers of Barry County. Their privations and earnest zeal to settle a new part of the United States was the same that brought their forefathers to the colonies in the 1600’s and through the generations gradually moved West from the Atlan­ tic coast. Nelson Coman was born December 11, 1811 in Cheshire, Berkshire County, Mass. His grandfather, Daniel, had been one of a number of Baptists who had moved as a group from Rhode Island to the new area in Berkshire County. This same Daniel had rallied to the call to defend the colonies from the British during the Revolutionary War in the Battle of Bennington, just 50 miles from Cheshire, Mass. Nelson Coman's father, Richard, was one of the Selectmen in Cheshire, and was also known as Cap­ tain Richard Coman. The Coman family in Cheshire was active in civic, church and school affairs. This enthusiasm Nelson Coman brought with him when he bought land in Michigan Territory.

MICHIGAN DIVISION 2788 Rem.co Dr SW Grand RjoCs Ml 49609 Nelson Coman Amanda Betterly (1811-1883) Coman He first bought land in 1836 where Bedford of Calhoun County is now located. In the same year he purchased land in Barry County, this land of Oak Openings was one mile and a half due south of the Blockhouse on Scales Prairie where Indians, traders and travellers traversed the trails. Charles W. Bassett and Nelson Coman purchased adjacent land and when the townships were made in Barry County their land was in Section 4 of Yankee Springs Town­ ship, just over the line from Thomapple Township. Nelson Coman built his house and two barns on the northwest corner of the now Shaw Lake Road and Norris Road. He gave land for the Coman Cemetery which is located on Shaw Lake Road between Norris Road and Briggs Road. And in the past the Coman school was located on the southwest comer cf Shaw Lake Road and Norris Road. This corners was referred to as Coman’s Corners in the days before the roads were labeled by signs. After purchasing his land from the United States government. Nelson Coman returned to Ohio to teach school for a year. When he returned to Barry County he tarried for a time in the home of Charles W. Bassett. Nelson Coman soon built his buildings facing those of Charles Bssett with the ribbon of road running between going to the north and to the south. In Nelson Coman's early days in Barry Coun­ ty he walked each day to and from the young village of Middleville and taught school, being the second teacher in Middleville. This walk was four miles each way, sometimes through four foot deep snowdrifts, and returning home each evening to tend to “chores.” On March 21, 1839, Nelson Coman married Amanda Betterly. She was a sister of Nancy Bet­ terly who had married Charles B assett. Amanda and Nancy’s father, William Betterly, had pur­ chased land a half mile south on the north-south road in 1836. Amanda was bom August 16, 1918, in Newfane, Vermont, in the picturesque Green Moun­ tains. There, as elsewhere in New England, were dazzling white painted churches with their tall steeples pointing heavenward. The William Bettelry family had migrated from Vermont to Cayuga County New York, before coming to Michigan. The Betterly family soon moved to Calhoun County and lived southwest of Battle Creek, which land is now a part of that city. In 1839 Nelson Coman threshed out some wheat upon the frozen ground. Near Barlow Lake, Judge Barlow had a fanning mill so he carried the wheat there to be cleaned, and on to Battle Creek to be milled into flour. This entire process required him to be away home for a week. In later times he took a team and wagon which could travel to Battle Creek in one day and with an overnight stay he could reach home the next day. In those days the wolves were plentiful and at night they became more daring and howled ghrough the night, and bears freely ioamed the area. It was late afternoon one day early in his settling here that Nelson went out to look for his cattle. In those early days the oxen and other farm animals roamed at will until there was time and material to build fences. Night came on suddenly and Nelson Coman had not yet located his animals. Wolves began to stalk him. Hurriedly he found refuge up in a sturdy tree. As he did this his cap fell to the ground below and the wolves tore it to shreds, the wolves remained to keep him company and made their music through the night as their shining eyes looked up toward him. As the sun came up the wolves receded into the shadows and Nelson proceeded to find his cattle and returned home. It was an anxious night for him and for his wife and family waiting. Elsewhere in the state several years later Nelson’s brother, Jerome Coman, had a similar experience, but for him the wolves had a feast and only scraps of clothing were ever found. It was a busy life for pioneer couples to grow and to keep food on the table for the large families, and do the weaving and hand sewing for clothing and drying of foods for winter, making the candles and soap, and other necessary routine chores kept hands from becoming idle. Amanda Coman saved the tiny doll-like bonnets she had made for her twin sons Charles and George. With loving care she had sewed with tucks and gathers the brown and white smallchecked woven cloth. Soon Yankee Springs Township had many set­ tlers. Most farms were 40 or 80 acres, each with a house and barn. Nelson Coman was one of the thirty voters at the first Yankee Springs Town Meeting on April 1, 1839 at the Mansion House. At various times through the years he served as Supervisor, Clerk, Treasurer, Justice of the Peace. He also was a School Inspector and a Grand Juror. And Nelson Coman was a trustee of First Baptist Church of Thomapple when it was organized April 12, 1856, in the old “Prairie’’ Schoolhouse on Scales Prairie. In later years the congregation met on alternating Sundays at the Prairie School and in Middleville before permanently meeting in Middleville. Amanda Coman transferred her membership here by letter July 3,1853, when this church was forming. Nelson and Amanda Coman raised a family of 7 children; Celestia, Lucinda, Phebe, Mary, William, Charles and George (the last two being twins). Later their household also included a granddaughter after Celestia s brief marriage. In his final years his physical body weakened and Nelson Coman died April 30, 1883, from a stroke, eighteen years after Amanda had been laid to rest in the Coman Cemetery around the corner and down the road a piece from their home. There also lie two of their daughters, Lucinda and Phebe, these three having died from consumption. With strength of an eager and youthful man He came with vigor and tamed the land. Gave of his talent and his love To neighbor, family, and God above. Little to see of his labors remain His mark is with God who stays the same. Helen Coman Evans USE THE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS!

Ml I Sft 13.1984 Girls Tennis Begins at TK With 3 Wins The Trojan tennis team won three matches last week to start the season off on a strong note. All three matches were won by 7-0 scores. This week the Trojans play God­ win, Galesburg, Hamilton and Rogers. Hamilton will be the big match of the week. Hamilton will visit Middleville Wednesday to determine who will take sole position of fir­ st place in the conference. The biggest worry we have is that we have not had a real challenge from any of the teams we have played so far. This has kept our rate of im­ provement at a slower pace than we like. Hamilton has been winning as big as we have, so it should be a good match. The Singlee players are playing with a great deal of con­ fidence. Deb Ploeg is playing very good tennis, but will get a strong challenge from conference tournament runner up. Deb Ratkowski of Hamilton. Jennifer Geukes is still hampered by a bad knee, and will have her work cut out when she plays last year’s conference champion at second singles, Sara and Karyn should be two strong points for us at third and fourth singles Our doubles teams are still untested. All six girls are good tennis players, but how well they work together un­ der pressure will be a key factor in the outcome of the match with Hamilton. The next home match will be Monday against Kelloggs ville. I^ast week’s results: Middleville 7 • Byron Center 0 1 st singles ■ Ploeg won 6-0 6-0 2nd singles - Geukes won 6-0 6-0 3rd Singles - Schondelmayer won 6-0 6-0 4th singles - Elies won 6-0 6-1 1st doubles K & K Miner won 6-0 6-0 2nd doubles Stander & VerStrate won 6-0 6-0 3rd Doubles • Wolverton & DeMorrow won by default Deb Ploeg was “player of the match."

Three busloads of cheering students and a good showing of other Trojan fans were treated to a game dominated by Middleville from the opening flip of the coin. After marching convincingly down the field, the Trojans failed on a 4th down try and Hudsonville started their move. Moments later, Dave Finkbeiner surrounded an Eagle fumble. A 40-yard pass from quarterback Jerry Steele to Tim Browne put the Trojans on the Hudsonville one yard line. Jerry kept the next snap from Center and followed the surge of tfie offensive line into the endzone for the first of his two touchdowns and the only score Middleville really needed. The Trojan defense then took charge and the 1st quarter ended 6-0. The second quarter began with the Trojans on the offensive once again. A clipping penalty nullified a 16-yard pass to Browne and the drive was ended. Steele then rested his passing arm and boomed a 55 yard punt that put Hudsonville deep in their own territory once again. The Middleville defense allowed Hudsonville three plays and then forced them to punt. Greg Newman returned the punt 13 yards to the Eagle 29 yard line. Another clipping penalty brought back memories of the previous stalled Trojan drive. With an Eagle defender on his back, Browne pulled in a 30 yard toss from Steele and Middleville was at the Hudsonville 11 yard line. Two punches into the middle of the Eagle line put the Trojans on the 5. Coach Rhines called a time out to pool the resources of his experienced staff. The result was Steele’s second touchdown. A five-yard romp around the left end put Middleville ahead 12-0, which is how the fir­ st half ended. The lights came on for the second half and for the Trojans, but the Eagles were kept in the dark. Mid­ dleville moved the ball well in the 3rd quarter, but had to punt twice. Hudsonville also made two pun­ ts, but the Eagles were held to less than 15 total yards of offense in the 3rd period. The fourth quarter began as a rerun of the third. Hudsonville ran 3 plays and punted. The Trojans gained a first down but then stopped themselves with a pair of penalties. A short punt off the side of Steele's foot sent a glimmer of hope through the Eagle ranks, but it was short lived. On their first play, Mike Wiley picked off an errant Eagle pass and it was Middleville’s ball at the Hudsonville 41. Steele broke through the Eagle defense for 25 yards. Mike Blair and Jon Moretti each added 7 more yar­ ds and then Mike Newhouse blasted into the en­ dzone from 2 yards out. Steele and Browne connec­ ted once again and the two-point conversion was good. With the score 20-0 the Eagles last hope to get on the scoreboard was ended when Eric Timm sacked the Hudsonville quarterback on a 4th down pass at­ tempt in the closing minutes of the game. The Trojan defense overpowered the Eagles at nearly every turn, holding Hudsonville to only four first downs the entire game. The Eagles crossed mid-field only twice and never got closer than the Trojan 40 yard line. Mike Wiley. Dave Finkbeiner and Tony Plants led the team in tackles. The TK defense recovered two fumbles, intercepted one pass and sacked the Hudsonville quarterback five times. The Middleville offense showed good balance, rushing for 154 yards and passing for 111 more. Jerry Steele led the rushers with 51 yards, followed by Mike Blair and Jon Moretti who ran for 30 yards each, and Mike Newhouse added 27 more. Greg Newman ran back 4 punts for 30 yards, and Tim Browne caught passes for 72 yards. The Trojan victory was definitely a team effort. Following the game, an exhuberant Coach Rhines stated “This is a young team and we’ve still got some problems to work on ...” But coach, how does it feel? “Fantastic! ” Golfers Defeat Delton Led by Rolfe Timmerman’s two over par 38, the Middleville Trojans defeated the Delton Panthers in an opening golf match for both teams. The match, held at the Yankee Springs Golf Course, saw Mid­ dleville shoot a 181 total score, while Delton’s score was 191. Besides Timmerman’s 38, Middleville received counting scores of 47 by Jim Weill and 48 s from Tim VanPolen and Ken Williamson. Delton’s low score was a 41 from Jim Fett. Middleville travelled to Hastings for a scrimmage match on Friday and to Comstock park on Monday for their league opener. AT TK HIGH SCHOOL Top Five Golfers Back This Year Sixteen Middleville golfers started practice on August 20 at Yankee Springs Golf Course. Five returning letter winners will form the nucleus for what will hopefully end as a championship season for the Trojans. The five returning letter winners were the top five golfers on last year’s team that finished the season with a 10-7-1 overall record, and a third place finish in the final OK Blue standings. All five golfers will be serious this fall and will be playing their fourth and final year at Middleville. Returning letter winners include Rolfe Timmer­ man, a two-time All Conference selection and an All Stater last year; Jim Will, an Honorable Mention OK Blue Conference player last year; Bob Bekkering, Todd Courts and Tim Van Polen. Greg Henry, a senior, and Marty Kermeen, a junior, com­ plete the candidates vying for Varsity positions. Other returning players include sophomores Mike harder and Bill Goodman and freshmen Dough Mat hiesen, Scott Olthouse, Scott Thomas and Mike Lytle. Middleville's team this year will be blessed with the league’s best golfer in Rolfe Timmerman. Rolfe’s accomplishments have made him Middleville’s finest golfer ever. Last year he made the first team Class C All State team, had the low league average of 37.37, broke the school record for overall match average, averaging 39.09, breaking Craig Funk’s 1978 record of 39.67, was the medalist in 15 of 18 matches he played, placed second in the conference meet, second in the Forest Hills Northern Fall Classic, tied for 10th in the Kent County In­ vitational Tournament, tied for third in the Regional, shot a 35 four times, averaged 38.24 for the season and was named, for the second time, to the OK Blue All Conference team. This year, after finishing the summer season in third place on the Grand Rapids All City Junior Team, shooting a 74 in the Forest Hills Northern Summer Classic, tying for low score in the tournament, and a 74 in the Kent County Invitational which placed him second out of 145 golfers, Rolfe will be the cornerstone of our championship run. League championships are not determined on the accomplishments of one golfer, and the TK team will need a consistent, steady effort from the other golfers in order to have a successful season. “We certainly have the people to get the job done,’’ stated Coach Bernie Weller. “Jim, Bob, Todd and Tim are all capable of shooting sonsistently in the high 30s and low 40s. Right now they are struggling to shoot those scores. We have been shooting bet­ ween 170-175 in practice, and if we are to contend for the title, we need to lower our team score to 160 or better.” Jim Will averaged 44.4 last year and was on All Conference and was Honorable Mention selection in 1983. He played no two-man, had a low round of 38, and was co-medalist twice, and his score was coun­ ted in all 18 matches. Todd Courts returns with veteran experience. He played number three last year. We counted Todd’s score in 12 of the 17 matches he played, and Todd aveaged 45.56 last year, shot 80 in the league meet, good for 8th place. We will rely heavily on Todd this year. Bob Bekkering averaged 46.4 last year while playing in nine varsity matches. So far this year he is playing as Middleville’s number two player. He has notched 93 and 91 in the two tournaments Mid­ dleville has played this year. Bob has improved im­ mensely from last year and in overall talent he has the potential to be an outstanding golfer. Tim Van Polen averaged 47.38 last year while playing in 15 varsity matches. He had our third best score in the Regionals. In three straight matches last year Tim had Middleville’s second best score. Tim is a key player on this year’s squad. Rounding out the varsity squad are Marty Ker­ meen, who averaged 47.90 last year and who is get­ ting better with each day of practice, and Greg Henry, whose determination and drive will always keep him in the hunt for a starting position. Returning sophomores currently shooting in the low fifties are Mike Henning and Ken Williamson. Scott Smith has also had some rounds in the low 50s after averaging 64 last year. First year players Mike Lytle and Bill Goodman are both shooting in the high 40s and will vie for a varsity spot later in the year. Freshmen Scott Olthouse, Scott Thomas and Doug Mathiesen are enthusiastic golfers, eager to learn and improve. They are showing improvement in their tgame already. Sophomore Mike Harder has just started practice. Coach Weller expects two-time defending cham­ pions Caledonia and Comstock Park to contract for the league title along with Middleville. Byron Cen­ ter will have two fine golfers, Hamilton and Godwin will both be tough teams on their home course. Kelloggsville shouldn’t contend, but they beat and tied Middleville last year while finishing sixth in the league. Lee is the other OK Blue team. All home matches are played at the Yankee Springs Golf Course. The public is invited. �The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I Sept 13,19841 P» 7 Scots Open Season The Caledonia Fighting Scot Cross Country team opened the 1984 season by participating in a double dual meet at Caledonia Lakeside park against Lakewood and East Grand Rapids on September 4. In the Lakewood-Caledonia meet the Scots team depth proved to be the winning difference as the Scots ran past the Lakewood Vikings 25-36. After Lakewoods Cross and Crown won 1st and 2nd place, the Scots captured the next 14 places to register the victory. Caledonia’s Bill Schumacher, Lou VanderStel, Jeff VanMeter and Chns Stanek had solid meet races.

ALL FOUR PLAYERS ARE FROM MIDDLEVILLE. 90 Play in Caledonia Tourney The annual Caledonia Tennis Tournament is gaining the same type of popularity as Lowell s “Gus Macker 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament. ” This small town tourney drew about 24 players its first year and has grown steadily with this year's total of over 90 being the most ever. Some of the area’s best tennis players competed in the double elimination tourney that included 16 separate tournaments. Participants played in singles, doubles and mixed doubles events but were also divided by male or female, and by age. Under 18 (high school age); un­ der 35, and over 35. Players were also classed as local or open depending ontheir residence. The play was consistently good, spirited and featured some outstanding displays of sportsman­ ship. Mike Bos, this year’s Tournament Director, states that the level of play has increased each year he has been a part of the tourney and this year was no exception. Mike thinks the success of this year’s tourney is because of the stiff level of competition, the double elimination factor, and the friendly at­ mosphere of small town Caledonia. Each player received a T-shirt, and played at least two tour* nament games and for only $7.00. Two of the tour­ naments ended with co-champions. The John DeVries Insurance Agency, the State Bank of Caledonia, Harold Glees, President, and the Caledonia Community Education, Bob Evans, director, organized and sponsored the annual event.

Ml / S»pt 13,1984 Parmelee Has Had Rich Heritage Since 1860 BY NORMA VELDERMAN First of all, let's get to the correct spelling of Parmelee. The Parmelee Station was named for its founder, Erastus K. Parmelee, who settled in Thor­ napple Twp. Sec. 10 in 1860. He lived the rest of his life in Parmelee. As I understand, the mistake occurred through a misunderstanding. A few years back, an Extension group put up road signs in Thornapple Twp. as a community project. And it certainly was a boon to us newcomers who didn’t know where everyone lived. The mispelling occurred then. It is not spelled with an A but an E • Parmelee. Parmelee Station (we shorten it to just Parmelee since no longer do trains run through it) is about 3 miles north of Middleville and south 3 Vi miles from Caledonia. It is on the intersection of the now defun­ ct Michigan Central Railroad and Parmelee Road. When Erastus K. Parmelee came in 1860, he pur* chased 40A in Sec. 10 of the township. I couldn’t find his name on the 1860 plat book. H. Gardner owned most of Sec. 10. Other owners were A. C. Stimpson, L. W. Stimpson, S. S. Hogley, J. C. Sprague. I took it that H. Gardner was a land speculator because I see he owned many other Parmelee Station. There were two classes, one a Methodist Episcopal class of which H. W. Birch was the leader, which later became the Methodist Chur­ ch. Then there was the Radical United Brethern class of which Mrs. George Cline was the leader. Later it became the United Brethern Church on the northwest comer of Stimson and Parmelee Roads. Both of these classes worshipped at a neighboring school (Moe) on alternate Sundays. At one time, some of the zealous parents, due to the staggering of church times, took their families to both services to Putting a roof on the Parmelee Church places on the Thornapple Township 1860 map. In the 1873 Plat book, Parmelee now owns the 40A, the railroad is there also, only they called it the Grand River Valley Division. He deeded or sold the rightof-way to the railroad for a lifetime pass. The neigh­ boring residents paid for the erection of a depot building. Mr. Parmelee was appointed station agent in 1878 and was made postmaster upon the creation of Parmelee Post Office (Allegan and Barry County History 1880). Each night the old postmaster packed all the un-delivered mail in a common market basket and lugged it home, only to return it to the post office in the depot in the morning. He held this job until W. W. Watson took over the post office in 1900 because of Parmelee's illness. This next Sunday, September 16, marks the United Methodist Church’s 100th birthday. They have been celebrating their centennial different Sundays all year since March and this is the final Sunday. To quote from Loretta Clark’s write up "The Country Church" (author unknown) The country church stands quietly beneath wide spreading trees It is the symbol of our faith and courage — both of these. It is a gracious meeting place where hope and kindness dwell The church is like a monument of all we dream and feel The country church stands tenderly beside the resting place Of dear ones who have gone to that far land of peace and grace And when we join in singing hymns and in some simple prayer We feel the touch of gentle hands for love is always there. Oliver A. and Bernice Carpenter donated to the Board of Trustees the land where the Parmelee Church now stands. Deed was recorded March 26, 1884. The church was built in 1884. In 1913 it was raised and a basement put under it and a furnace in­ stalled. In 1961 a gas furnace was installed at the north end of the basement. At the same time, an ad­ dition of 16x20' was built on the back of the church for a new kitchen and rest rooms. There were three religious organizations in the area when Parmelee started out as a railroad depot. They called Parmelee, then not a village or city, but keep their youngsters on the right path. The other church, Thornapple in Brethern Mennonite Church (known as the Shiloh Church) I will have to wait until Marjorie Williams gets back because she has that information. It was on the cor­ ner of Cherry Valley, Parmelee Road and M-37 and is now an apartment building. The first president was Samuel Sherk. Remember the ‘good old horse and buggy days’?. Clara Joels, the daughter of E. K. Parmelee, founder of Parmelee Station, in April 7, 1903, gave a quit­ claim deed for 21x100’ of land on the south side of the road across from the church for a shed to house horses and buggies, with the understanding that the trees were to be protected and when the shed was no longer used the deed was declared null and void. She received $1 for the lease. For many years the water was carried to the chur­ ch in milk cans. Aboaut 1928 the cemetery association put in a well on the south side of the road. Then water could be had for the pumping. When the cemetery association could no longer han­ dle the cemetery and the expense, they turned it over to the township with $1 in the treasury. When water was piped to the Middleville cemetery, the old gas engine was taker, to be used at the Parmelee well. About 1934, when electricity was put into the church and tv the well, the church and the township had an agreement that the church could use the well if it paid for the electricity. This agreement still stands today. About 1945 the water was piped into the church. “From the memory of the late John E. Kepkey, who worked on the church at age 17, we learned that the first members were the O. A. Carpenters, the Bissetts, Mrs. Thomas Tungate (grandmother of Clair Tungate), the Hiram Forbes, Mrs. Lucy For­ bes. the D. R. Benewa’s, and the Edward Kermeen Jrs. One of the early organists was Mrs. Mabie Car­ penter Freeman (mother of Ward Freeman)". “Mrs. Dorothy Tolan has been a member of the church the most years of any present living member, having joined the church in 1912. She presently lives in Lincoln Meadow. Rev. M. D. Marsh was appointed the first minister of Parmelee Church in 1885. Since then 32 ministers have served there. This includes the present pastors, Rev. Carl Staser and Rev. Brad Kalajainen. The Ladies Aid Society, which is the backbone of most churches, was formed in February 21, 1907. It has always been a very active, constructive group, raising finances and strongly promoting their chur­ ch. For example, chicken pie dinners and bazaars were some of the early activities. Without them, a "country church” could not survive. They now have a Strawberry Festival each year. ’ The general store in town has been run by various people. Here are some of the few we could find out about. Hull operated the store for less than a year. Couldn’t find the date. “Then came Wallace Wm. Watson and family in 1890. “WW”, as he was called, went ahead of his family several weeks so he could go to Grand Rapids and get stock and get the two-story store ready for them to live in and open for business. His wife, Sarah Beyer Watson, three boys and a tiny daughter rode the heavily loaded wagon to Mid­ dleville’s railroad depot. David Watson had to show her where it was as she had never been there before. She and the baby girl rode in the caboose on the train to Parmelee Station for 5 cents. She was met in Parmelee by her barefoot husband and the loaded wagon, with the three boys, driven by David Wat­ son, a relative. CONTINUED ON FOLLOWING PAGE Winter in Parmelee showing the store and depot (about 1918) �The Sun and News, MiddWk Ml / Sept. 13,19841 Pg. 9 Parmelee CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “In the winter of 1891-93, Watson's business in Parmelee had attracted the attention of many of the surrounding countryside, who noted that the store was growing every year. Times seemed to be good and a man named D. C. Hubbard on Arlington Street in Middleville pressured the Watsons to sell out the store. Hubbard wanted to get his son away from certain boon companions, so he offered to trade his fine home on Arlington Street (had 10 com­ modious rooms) plus a bam and some land and some hard cash for Watson's store. So Watsons moved to Middleville in Spring of 1893, but bought back the store and moved back to Parmelee in the summer of 1895. The business badly needed building up. In the early months of 1900, he sold the store to W. H. Van A very who took possession about April 1. After residing in Parmelee for about 12 years, the Watson family moved to Middleville, buying the Isaac Keeler farm on Grand Rapids Street. He then had general grocery store and meat markets in Ir­ ving, Middleville, Grand Rapids and environs. He died of Tetanus in 1917. Frederick Alexander had a store in Parmelee where Ellis Cross now lives. Florence Tungate Stim­ son Cook (Clair Tungate’s Aunt) worked in the store for some time. The school children used to run down from the Parmelee School at the 4 corners west of town to get tablets, chalk and slate. Mrs. Cook also ran ghe depot for a while. Some other isolated tidbits we picked up were: 1. There was a sawmill run by B. F. Hungerford (Guy Cline’s grandfather). It was west of the railroad track with a siding for it, on the north side of the road where you can still see the swamp where the mill pond used to be. He also ran a blacksmith shop and turning lathe. 2. R. T. French controlled the feed mill run by Aaron Sherk and George Cline. The mill was west of the railroad and on the north side of Parmelee Road on a hill right by the tracks. 3. There was a wooden covered bridge spanning the river Vi mile east of Parmelee. It was made of heavy timber, morticed and doweled, resting on piles. This was replaced in 1890-91 by an iron bridge, then much later, in the present time, by the cement bridge. There was a similar wooden bridge northwards on the Barry County line, another over the Coldwater River and one in Middleville. Charles Parmelee, grandson of E. K. Parmelee, was one of the workers on the iron bridge. He fell and broke both legs. They called an older doctor from Middleville, who found an old barrel and car­ ved out splints to hold his legs. It took Charles all winter and well into the spring waiting for the bones to heal. 4. Some things you might have forgotten are the buildings that were once straight south of the Tungate farm. Nearly to the river was a set of log buildings where David Benawa and wife started housekeeping. I got my information from: 1. Watson Family of Barry County by Lyle D. Holcomb Jr. 2. Loretta Clark and Evelyn Noffke 3. History of Allegan and Barry County The train at the Parmelee Station 4. And in talking with all of you knowledgeable local people. Now, if any of you folks have anything to add to thia basic history of Parmelee, please call or write me. Or, if I’ve made any errors, please correct me. We want the printed history as accurate as we can humanly make it. I did not put in too many of the houses, the map would not have been too readable. Thank all you wonderful people. Without you I wouldn’t be having so much fun and getting so much history.

Freeport, Michigan Sue- 795-9951 �Pg. 12 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml / Sept. 13.1984 CAPITOL COLUMN BY DICK POSTHUMUS, 31 st District State Senator Carry Over of Surplus Funds Debated Months ago, when legislators were deep in the debate of tax increases and subsequent tax rollback proposals, one of the most hotly-contested areas of disagreement was over budget surplus predictions. Many of us, going on statistics provided by the non­ partisan Senate Fiscal Agency, argued that the sur­ plus would be around $200 million. The latest figures, reflecting a growing Michigan economy, are near $350 million. The Executive Office and the Department of Management and Budget initially projected no more than a $25 million surplus, using this to argue for continuing their tax increase. By April, they had raised that projection to $235 million, and have recently released figures that show a general fund surplus of $271.7 million at the end of the 1983-84 fiscal year, which ends on September 30. This wouldn’t normally be a cause for comment.

The idea of using volunteers as part of a team involved in the treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect has been used successfully throughout the country for the past ten years. These volunteers are trained and supervised by professionals and work to develop the intensive supportive relationship which troubled parents need. The focus is on the parent, since the underlying principle of the program is that the best way to help the child is to help parents to be better parents. The goal is to keep families intact to provide the support needed to allow parents to improve their parenting skills, as an alternative to foster care, or to facilitate a child’s return home. Parent Aides usually work with one family. They make home visits, are available by phone, aid in a crisis, and can make suggestions on community resources. The primary function of the Parent Aide is developing a relationship of mutual trust and friendship with the parent. The expectation is that the parent will generalize this positive experience to the parent-child relationship and further, to other adult relationships. Volunteers for this program should be those who with HAZEL McCAUL work well with other people, have had satisfying life experiences, and have the capacity to nurture You missed a good sermon Sunday at Parmelee others.

There is no reason to object to a carryover of funds from one year to the next. In this instance, however, opponents of an accelerated tax rollback plan claimed there was just not enough money to cover any additional expenses, like an early cut-back of the tax increase. An agreement was finally reached that reduced the income tax from 6.1 percent to 5.35 percent a mere three months before it would have occurred anyway. Even after the rollback plan was put in place, their projections show nearly $300 million in surplus. Although the Governor and some other legislators claim there is not enough money to increase the tax rollback any further, Senate Republicans are con­ tinuing to explore the possibility of additional reductions. And, with such a large revenue surplus, no matter what the source, there is no reason to stall any longer.

Cam­ pbell, 454 �Pg. 14 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Mi / Sept 13,1984 Sunshine Clubs Beginnings Stem from World War I When we became involved in World War One back in 1914, the Red Cross was far from the ef­ ficient well-run unit it is today. Nevertheless, the women of the states rallied to the need and proceeded to organize neighborhood units, to work together so as to produce what was needed. Some groups took up knitting, some sewing, some rolled bandages. One worker came into North Irving Township, near the Brew School. She found willing cooperation and after talking it over, approached Mrs. Ada Miller and persuaded her to organize a group to sew, make bandages, etc. Officers were appointed and the group agreed to meet once a month, for a work session. They met with a different member each time, for an all day meeting. The hostess furnished the dinner. Transportation was by horse and buggy and all mothers were particular to be home when school was out. The group worked faithfully for nearly five years, working on whatever was most needed, until the need seemed to have been met. They met at the Spath home in May, 1919, intending to disband. But all the months of working together had been pleasant and all felt something would be missing. It was suggested they form a club to help each other and the community. All agreed. Now for a name and some officers. Bessie Townsend suggested “The Sunshine Club”. Fine. Ada Miller was elected president, Bessie Bennett Vice President and Amanda Ervin Secretary-treasurer. By-laws were the next necessary item, for all knew that to be successful there must be rules. The new rules provided that the club meet with whichever member asked for it. That the dues be 10< per njjmth, and anyone wishing to join the club be approved by the membership and invited to join by the president. Later, during depression years, the dues were dropped to 5< per month, and as times im­ proved were raised by vote to 10t, then raised to 20< per month, where they now stand. As the ladies met on the first Thursday of each month, a member might mention a family in need. Later, some articles of clothing and some staple foods were given to that family. As time went by and transportation became easier, new members came into the club. It was a working club. Mending and sewing kept them busy. Meanwhile, we made quilts for those unfortunate enough to lose household furnishings by fire, wind or other disaster. It has always been the policy of the Club to have a quilt on hand in case of emergency. Not all of the concern was for the immediate neighborhood. When a worthy cause came up the Club supported it. Small pieces of equipment were purchased for the hospital which was striving to become firmly established. Fruits and vegetables were canned for the hospital and the Special Education School. We have given to the United Fund, Cancer drives and other worthy causes. Various projects were taken on to raise money. We raffled off quilts, sold cosmetics, jello, etc. We have rejuvenated heirloom quilts for people who couldn’t do it themselves. But it wasn’t all work. We had fun. too. The rules provided for at least one social meeting a year. One of our most enjoyable projects was the party we sponsored on April 30, 1949, to honor the beloved mail carrier of Route 2, Ray Serven. Sometimes, we had a picnic in May, oftentimes a New Years dinner for members and their families. Potluck dinners and gift exchange at the Christmas meeting where each child of a member under school age received a gift from the club. In recent years we have our dinner out in June. By-laws have been amended twice and now half day meetings are permitted, but no refreshments are to be served. Children grown up and getting married are presented a quilt or other suitable gift. Many a young woman has learned to make quilts by working with the Sunshine Club. The membership remains about the same in num­ ber. Although the members are more widely scat­ with WRETHA McNEE Ruth and Harold Kollar were dinner guests of their daughter Karen and family. Jeanette Sherman has been a patient at Blodgett this past week but is recovering nicely at home now. Gladys Ploeg is entertaining a cold at present. Homer and Artie Baum, Bea and Harold Cutler motored to Paw Paw to the St. Julian Winery Saturday. They had dinner out. After church Sunday Bea and Harold Cutler stop­ ped to see Mabel Betts and Lester Curtis. Mabel, at 92 years, gets around with a walker. Last Sunday the Cutlers were to daughter Phyllis Armstrong’s at Lake Odessa to help celebrate several birthdays. Thirteen were present. Teresa Bowman and children stopped by Thur­ sday a while. Teresa is my granddaughter so her children are my Greats’ My dinner guest Sunday was my music teacher from Rockford. We sure had a nice afternoon of visiting. ST.

This will be followed by short speeches by some of the local, county and state elected of­ ficials from a special platform to be constructed at the comer of Main and Railroad Streets. “We asked each politician to limit their remarks to 150 seconds, 1 second for every year of Mid­ dleville’s existence,” said Steve.

To facilitate parking, Steve has indicated that there will be “people movers” from the Villa to the downtown area. “For those who would like, they may park at the Villa, be transported to the festivities at the bridge and park, and then returned to the Villa for rallies and dinner,” said Steve. Invitations had been sent to many state and national officials, and regrets were received from President Reagan, Senators Carl Levin and Don Reigle, Candidate for President Walter Mondale, and Attorney General Frank Kelley.

Happy 60 Potluck Coming Caledonians Enjoy European Trip Eva Engle and Katherine Van Bree returned Wednesday evening from a 2-week European tour which took them into eight countries. They arrived August 30 in Amsterdam and began their bus tour there. The Obergmmagau Passion Play in the Alps was one of the high points of the tour. This was the 350th anniversary for this play which is put on every ten years in fulfillment of a pledge given God in the 7th Century for saving their village people from destruction. It was a very moving event, not soon to be forgotten. Other interesting places visited in Holland were the Delft factory and the Enclosure Dikes which separate the North Sea from the former Zuider Zee Sneek, which is called “Venice of the North, was toured by a small boat through the canals, the only streets in the village.

The drive through Belgium and Luxembourg gave an opportunity to stop at the U. S. Military Cemetery where General Patton is buried with many of our soldiers who are buried there. A cross marks most graves, but some with the star at the top marks those who were Jewish. The Battle of the Bulge monument and nearby museum caused us to reflect on the WWII years and the sacrifice of so many lives from all countries. Many “Rococa” style churches were visited and the group attended services in Wurzburg, Germany, in a Middle Ages cathedral and another time in Zurich, Switzerland where the Swiss reformer preached at one time.

EARLY RISERS September 14 Our Vill Gen 6 Country Girls 6 In Six Tennis Matches The Trojan Tennis team won three more matches last week to bring their record to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in the con­ ference. Godwin. Galesburg and Hamilton all fell to the Trojans. The Galesburg match was a big win for our girls. Both teams were undefeated going into the match Neither Middleville nor Galesburg had been challenged in their early wins this season, and both teams were hoping for some good competition. When the match was over the Trojans had the win by a 6-1 score. Galesburg coaches feel that they have a good chance to qualify for the state tour­ nament in their region. Sara Schondelmayer and Karyn Elies played some great tennis this week. Both players are improving at a steady pace. So far Sara and Karyn seem to be very confident, and are developing groundstrokes with more pace. W«* are especially pleased that both players are showing up at the net more often. The doubles teams are also improving at a good pace, but we still have plenty of work to do here before we are satisfied. All three doubles teams showed that they can take the pressure by winning close matches against Galesburg. Kathy and Kristy Miner are working well together. Both players are starting to be more active at the net which should help their game. Melissa VerStrate and Jean Stander have done very well so far this season. They still have not lost a set. We really like the way these two play together. We need to be a bit more active at the net, but these two are getting bet­ ter with every match. The third doubles team really consists of three players who alternate at that position. Julie DeMorrow. Lis a Wolverton and Missy Rounds do a fine job and have not lost a set this year. We figured Hamilton to be much stronger than they were. It turned out to be a much easier match than we had expected. However, we do remember how much tougher they were at home last year, so we won’t be taking them lightly when we travel to Hamilton in two weeks. Last week’s results: Middleville 7 - Godwin 0 1st singles - D. Ploeg won 6-0 6-0 2nd singles - J. Geukes won 6-2,6-3 3rd singles - S. Schondelmayer won 61,6-0 4th singles - K.

The rest of the first half was one of frustration for both teams and their fans. Passes and punts were dropped, two long Trojan pass plays - one for a touchdown - were called back because of penalties, and neither offense could seem to get going. Determined team defense by the Trojans held Lee to only 3 first downs in the second quarter. Good punt coverage by Tim Browne put him in position to recover a Lee fumble. Jon Moretti played pass defense tight enough to draw an interference call which helped to stall a Rebel drive. Lots of hard hitting and team tackling by the Trojan defense carried Middleville to an 8-0 halftime lead. The Rebel offense came out ready to play in the second half and drove down inside the Middleville 30 before the Trojan defense could grind them to a halt. A 21-yard pass play from Steele to Tim Browne was the bright spot in the next Trojan effort but. as they had in the second quarter, both offenses sput­ tered. The third quarter ended as it began 8-0.

This week the Trojans take on Comstock Park at Godwin at Yankee Springs. home. BY MIKE BREMER In a game riddled with rain, fumbles, penalties and interceptions, the Middleville Trojans improved their season record to 2-0 as they handily defeated the Lee Rebels 22-8. Jerry Steele again led the Trojan offense rushing for over 70 yards and passing for nearly 40 more. Greg Newman returned the opening kick off 35 yards and the Trojans started their first drive with great field position. After a quick first down, a penalty and an incomplete pass ended their opening possession. Steele’s punt left the Rebels on their own 23 yard line and the Trojan defense went to work. And work they did! After just one play. Greg Lydy pounced on a Lee fumble and it was time for the offense once again. They came out in high gear, moving quickly to a first and goal at the Lee 3. The scoring effort was short-lived however, as a Mid­ dleville fumble found its way into Rebel hands. Lee came out and once again tried to get their offense going. A couple early Trojan penalties helped Lee move away from their own endzone, but the Trojan defense toughened and Lee was stopped again. A 14 yard punt return by Mike Wiley left the Trojans at midfield with time running out in the first quarter. The offense came out raring to go and the period en­ ded with Middleville pounding on the gates to Lee’s endzone. The second play of the second quarter and Jon Moretti was in the endzone on a one yard plunge.

Ml I Sept 20.1984 Mr. Ken Otto United Methodist Church to have Guest Speakers During Sesquicentennial Week As the life of the church relates to the community in many ways, so it does in education and its development for further outreach. With this in mind, the Middleville United Methodist Church is pleased to announce guest speakers for the next two Sunday mornings. Both are “home town boys ', one sharing at the beginning and one at the close of the Sesquicentennial Celebration week. Ken Otto, who will be present next Sunday, Sep­ tember 23, will describe his life as he lends himself to community development in third world situations. For the past 8 years Ken has worked with villagers organizing, demonstrating and en­ couraging the people to an improved life style using primarily his agricultural and mechanical knowledge. Ken channels his energy through the ecumenical ICA (Institute of Cultural Affairs) which operates in 110 locations in 34 countries helping people to help themselves, getting them involved in shaping their own future and thereby hoping to build a better world. Last February, in a 10-day exchange con­ ference attended by 650 delegates from over 70 nations, local leaders came together to share 200 successful rural development projects. These representatives have now returned to implement new innovative methods in their home situations. Most of the 1000 staff members of ICA work without salary. Although the work is exhausting, Ken reports that it is most fulfilling. He has lived in Australia with aborigines, Western Samoa, India, and most recently in the village of Kapini, Zanbia. This year, however, Ken’s assignment is in Chicago where various needs there will be met. The guest speaker for Sunday, September 30, is known to many in the area also.

We have had many good contributions of old time pictures, etc., that have been on display for some time. Our program, was a musical one with Middleville, Freeport, Par­ melee and Caledonia members rendering numbers for us. Ward Freeman was there with his video machine taping the program. We had a dessert lun­ cheon afterwards — food! We all want to thank you for helping make this a grand success and one long to be remembered. If you didn’t get a copy of the “Sun,” I still have some. Give me a call at 891-1355. Laneta Wilkes and I had our “hobbies’’ at Charlton Park this weekend. No crowd. Too much going on. Paul and Ann Tungate from Clarkston, Mary Beth and Dale Witte and boys from Grand Haven attended church Sunday morning with Mother and Dad Tungate. • Sunday evening Charlotte Stacilauskas, Clare’s sister from Belmont and Myrtle Freeman, Caledonia, called on Tungates and attended church also. Mike Reaser took his folks, Bemadine and Harry Reaser, to dinner Sunday at Hong Kong Kitchen, Grand Rapids. Catherine and Bud Cisler attended Allegan Fair Wednesday and heard the Johnny Cash program and saw the horse races Edna Wood entertained the Socia Club Thursday evening with a potluck supper. I had a good attendance Thursday when I enter­ tained the Busy Bee Club with a ham and potluck dinner. Clarke and I will attend his shop picnic (catered) Wednesday at the Armory in Grand Rapids. the worship service. Since leaving Middleville. Stan has served the church families in Hopkins and south Monterey, Kent City and Casnovia, and is currently in the Edmore area. He has employed many unique ways to fill church pews and enthuse the people to a more active life with God. Stan's wife. Betty (Noffke) is serving as the Coun­ ty Nurse as well as handling other activities which come to a busy minister ’s spouse. Each man. reared and educated in the Middleville area, has gone on to grow, develop and nurture the heritage of learning and caring in diverse ways to assist the people they touch to advance toward their potential and maturity. Will you also be involved by responding to the in­ vitation given to join us at the United Methodist Church September 23 and September 30 at 11:00 a.m.? Ken and Stan will also be giving their messages in the Parmelee United Methodist Church at 9:30 a.m., and you may find it more convenient to go there. Either way, you are most welcome!

I tried to get every one, busy or new news for the second week in a row. Out of 150 people, I don’t think I have much over 12 news items. The Harts were back into the school and teaching routine. Doug said last year their church sponsored a family and he is now employed in Hastings in the engineering department. They both have degrees and are trying to learn English, so they are in his English class. They speak French, so he's brushing up on his French which has gotten a little rusty. But it's an enjoyable challenge. The children are starting in with their dancing and swimming classes. Joe Sanford said they had a busy week with sch<x>l opening. Jim and Sue Verlinde’s son Jim is back at college. Had to leave a week early as he’s a Resident Ad­ visor. They celebrated Beth Verlinde’s birthday Wednesday, having them over for supper. Rod Kenyon and Rod Finkbeiner were on Accent on TV3 this Tuesday to publicize our Sesquicentennial. Then Saturday you can watch the stagecoach go on a trial run up Main Street to the Stadium. Tom Wieringa brought his mules so WOOD-TV could film it Monday morning and it will be on Channel 8’s “Second Look" program at 12:30 Saturday. Char and Rod Finkbeiner attended Parmelee's evening church service Sunday to celebrate their 100th birthday. All reported that it was a nice ser­ vice for a full house. Ace and Margaret Abbott attended the Moose Steak Fry Saturday. Ken Morgan said he and Rose were planning on going camping, but it was so nice they stayed home to finish the painting. Gladys Briggs spent a week with her gran­ dchildren in Byron Center. She had forgotten the joy and fun a kindergartner experiences the first few days of school, so she enjoyed it through the eyes of her granddaughter. The Collier family just returned from their vacation to St. Ignace and Mackinac Island. The sunrises and sunsets were just beautiful. The Sprenkle family had their son and daughterin-law from Okinawa with them last week. Son Steve came home from Chicago to visit with the family who spent from Wednesday to Saturday with them. They are now at her home in Fenton. They are changing duty stations and when they return will be at Hawaii. The. ’wrought his mom a beautiful set of china and his dec’. a set of real Sumari swords.

The wedding reception was held at Holy Family Catholic Church. Mary VanderWall, with some friends, went to Merryville, Indiana to the Wayne Newton concert, staying overnight Saturday. Doesn’t Maynard and Ardyth Park’s home look pretty. A week ago, her nephew Steve Ames and three small children spent the week with them. Nancy Vandal celebrated her 12th birthday at Show Biz Pizza. They also included Grandma Esther Larkin of Lincoln Meadow and their new neighbors, Marj and John Palmer, Stephanie and Jennifer.

That will be there, too. Happy Sixties Club Celebrates 20 Years On Monday. September 10, approximately 160 folks gathered at Caledonia Holy Family Hall to celebrate the 20th birthday of Caledonia’s Happy 60 Club. The potluck dinner was served at decorated tables and followed by an enjoyable program. The “birthday cake” from the Fourth of July Float was in the lobby with many momentos of the club’s 20 years of existence. Fr. Don Heyden of Holy Family gave the in­ vocation followed by a welcome to the group by President Lillian Schultz. Group singing was led by Evelyn Huyck with Russell Nash at the organ. Charter member Madge Ruehs responded to the welcome, then Lillian gave a history of the club, its past officers and accomplishments. Those participating in the program included ministers of the 5 churches that host the club s monthly potluck dinners plus St. Paul’s new vicar, Robert Gerke. Caledonia’s Community Education director Bob Evans spoke to the seniors on the op­ portunities of graduating from high school in their ‘retiring’ years. Twenty-three members of the club have received high school diplomas in the past five years. Gifts were presented to the charter members of the club and to the two oldest seniors, Mrs. Caroline Huyck and Mr. Ted Schantz, both 96. Refreshments of cake and punch were donated by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Roetman and Mrs. Rose Rudy, daughter of the president of the club. Thanks are offered to all who helped in so many ways to put this great celebration on, especially to the pastors and other speakers. We look forward to another celebration in five years for a Silver Jubilee.

The salt of the earth type of person. They never became famous or extremely rich, faced their troubles with courage, kept going thru good times and bad. and made a good life for themselves and their families. When things were bad, they started over and pulled themselves up with good honest hard work. The kind who never make the news, but are the backbone of our country. Cliff and Frances Blackford Johnson are just such a couple, having been married 55 years. Cliff's grandparents, Orrin L. and Margaret John­ son, bought their 80A farm in Irving Twp. Sec. 8 June 3, 1876. They were the 34d owners. The man who held the patent from the government for this farm, Phillip Bovee Jr., purchased it May 24,1854. Orrin and Margaret moved into a log cabin with a lean to on the back. The lean to contained the kit­ chen and a bedroom. The cabin was just one room with a loft above. Cliff couldn't actually remember them saying, but he thought there was a ladder to the loft. They raised five children, Nellie, Emma, James (Cliff 's dad) and Lida. Frances Blackford was one year old, the fourth of six children, when they moved here from Grand Rapids. They were Lloyd, Russell, Clara, Frances, Morris and Mary. Her dad, while working at a fur­ niture factory in Grand Rapids, lost some fingers from one hand, so his parents helped him purchase a 40A farm on what is now Whitmore Road and M37 in Rutland Twp. She attended the Wilcox School on Upton Road almost to the cemetery. She gave some picture of the school, a school class picture, and her Sunday School class to copy and use when I write about the Wilcox School. Cliff attended the Brew School which was on the southeast corner of Loftus and Solomon Roads. He and Mary Corrigan loaned me 5 or 6 books from the school to copy, as well as some school pictures. I’m still looking for a good picture of the Brew School. Last week Mary and I copied almost all of those books, just a few more pages to do yet. Cliff and Frances both said that during their school years the winters were as variable as now, but much more severe. They couldn’t get around too easily in the winter. Sometimes it was easier to cut thru the fields than to stick to the roads. They didn’t have our modem snowplows we have today. Cliff Matthew loaned us a picture of their mail carrier in his horse and buggy. Most of the farmers gave feed and hay for his horse as an incentive to try to get their mail to them whenever possible. James, Cliff’s dad, married Bertha Miller in 1899. Evelyn showed me a piece of their wedding cake and a cigar that the groom smoked at the wedding. They had four children living in the log cabin until Bertha’s parents, who had two houses and an extra barn mile away, gave them to their daughter and family. They moved the building to the present site, using one horse and a capstan (something on the principle of a fence stretcher - which takes up the slack, resets it, and takes up more slack, all over again). They had six children, Edna, Eva, Cliff, Ada, Clare and Russell. Cliff and his sister were always into trouble. When they were supposed to be getting the cows, they were always doing other things, such as playing in the wheat bin, in the granary, or walking the planks covering the horse tank, or walking the board fence. The neighbors saw them up by the weather vane on top of the barn, told their dad, so Cliff got punished with a buggy whip. He still remembers how it feels. One Halloween Cliff and a bunch of older boys had a ball tipping over outhouses. The younger children got caught by the Deputy Sheriff, Herman Wrench, and squealed on the older boys. They all had to come and repair every one they ’d tipped over In 1920 when Cliff was 16 his dad died from peritonitis. They then moved to Freeport where his mom worked in a bakery. Later she purchased and had the bakery for five years and Cliff helped. Someone came to town and wanted to start another bakery so Cliff talked his mom into selling it. Then they moved to Hastings where his mom worked for other people in their homes to support the family Cliff started working at Bliss until he was laid off in 1929. He married Frances Blackford, who was The Orrin Johnsons stand before their Irving Township log cabin in the late 1800s. working in Hastings. They had one child, James, and were expecting Robert when in 1931 the depression hit. They then returned to the farm to survive, and, like most people during that time, con­ sidered themselves fortunate to have a way to take care of their families and put food on the table. Never mind what kind of work it was, just so there was work. He then went back to Bliss in 1932 or 33, holding down two jobs. He milked 10 cows, did the farm work as well as working at Bliss until he retiredin 1952. When they moved back to the old home place, it had not been taken care of and there was a tremen­ dous amount of work to be done. Frances said after being used to city conveniences, it was very hard to adjust to no water, no indoor plumbing, just the outdoor bathroom facilities. They had to go across the road for all their water, taking one small child and expecting another. Part of the house had been used as a chicken coop, so you can imagine the work that needed to be done to make it liveable. But, like most folks then, what needed to be done, was done. They didn’t dream of shirking or crying over spilt milk. It was there, get it done and go on. Life was basically good, hard - but hard work never hurt anyone. They had 5 children; James, killed in Korea; Robert, who lives on Stimson Road; Evelyn (Allerding) whose home is outside Freeport. She presently is helping her folks. And Harold and Garold, the twins. Harold lives in Howard City and Garold died from burns received in a fire when he was young. All the time Cliff was improving and fixing up the buildings on the farm, changing three buildings. It is now a Centennial Farm. Frances has always loved flowers and working in the garden, and still does when physically able to. Isn’t it heck when the darned old body wears out, but the head goes right on, being young and active? Frances has some very choice family heirlooms. For example, her grandfather Sgt. Newell Blackford served in the Civil War. He kept a day-to-day diary (about 2” x 2‘A”). In it he recorded the daily weather and all of his activities. Evelyn is going to copy it off in longhand so I can get it typed. What a find for a history buff or school history students to actually read a local person’s record of the Civil War as he lived it. In his “Soldier's Handbook'' we read that a soldier received 35</day for extra service. Couldn't find out how much he made per day. Maybe Evelyn’s copy will show it. Cliff's grandfather said that when he was in the Civil War they were starving so to survive they killed their mules. Frances also had some hardtack from her grandfather's Civil War Days. It was about 2” square - looked just like a soda cracker about l4" thick and hard as wood. Sgt. Blackford also brought back in a little wooden box the cannonball that ripped out the calf of his leg. It was about 1 */«” in diameter. Mercy, but it was heavy for its size. I think I d want to keep it to remind me how fortunate I was that it hadn't hit me somewhere else. He also wrote another small diary in 1872. Evelyn’s son has his watch and chain that he was wearing in his uniform in his colored picture. After the Sesquicentennial, I hope the rest of you will share with us your country school books, class, school and house pictures, so we can copy them and save them for the Michigan room we want to start up at the high school library. Cliff was relating how proud he was when his dad thought he was old enough to walk with his dad and grandad to Parmelee, 3 or 4 miles away, to take the train to Grand Rapids. While there they visited the downtown fire station and watched them get ready for a fire. They were horsedrawn fire engines then. They had the harnesses suspended on a chain from the ceiling. They’d put the horses under them, lower the harnesses , hitch them up and away they’d go. Quite a time and labor saving device. Cliff, laughingly, says he remembers the kind of weather they had the day he was born. Whenever they had a real stormy, nasty snow day, his mom would remark “just like the day you were born.’’ So you see they are a very good typical family. They had normal, mischievous kids and hard working adults. The more I visit with “my neigh­ bors” the prouder I am at being a part of “just the average good American citizen. ” Continued on following page The Orrin Johnson family: Standing from left; Nellie,Emma, James and Lida.

They all went up to Muskellunge Lake by Trufant to visit with Mr. and Mrs. Gillines. They did some fishing and had a great time. The six of them went to the flea market at Shipshewana for a couple of days. Ed and Katie Wieringa, Deb and Jerry Jeurink and family and Erin Haase went to the Allegan Fair on Saturday. Vance and Diane Hoskins and Danielle visited friends in Allegan on Tuesday and watched the Allegan Fair parade with them. Lynnwood and Bonnie Bracy came over to visit Rod and Kathy Bracy on Sunday from Charlotte with their new motor home. Don and Janet Geukes attended the wedding of Don’s cousin. Marcia Smith at the Methodist Chur­ ch Saturday night. Friday night Don and Kay Link went to the TK football game. Happy anniversary to Buster and Robin Simoneau! Loretta Worth went with her mother this past week-end to Frankenmuth and then up to Traverse City. They did a lot of shopping and had a really en­ joyable week-end together. Wes and Janette VanRhee also went to the TK football game Friday night. Amy Van Rhee went to the wedding of Sheryl Underwood and Tim Gahan at Holy Family Church Friday night. Saturday the VanRhee family went out for dinner to celebrate four birthdays. Wes’ folks came over from Holland to join them for dinner. Fritz and Alice Steiner were among the many on hand for the "opening of the covered bridge" at Bowens Mill on Saturday. Lunch guests at our house (Bremers) on Saturday were Dann and Francy Tobin and children and his dad and wife. Les and Rose Tobin of Missouri, who also had been at Bowens Mill and especially enjoyed Dave Otto’s steam engine, (watch for its appearance next week). Sunday afternoon callers at the Clifford Davis home were her sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Willyard of Grand Rapids. I make no excuses for my poor handling of (my part of) Prairie Sketches this week — it’s been busy — but ask that you help me out next week so as many as possible of the Prairie folks will be men­ tioned in the Sesquicentennial Celebration edition. If I don’t bet you on the phone, please call Janette or me.....just in case anyone saves a copy for the Bicentennial Celebration, the world will know where you were in 1984! Many folks have been oh-so-busy preparing for next week’s events. Don’t let them - or your hometown - down by not participating in as many as possible. Start off with the ‘bridge walk’ on Monday - listen to the politicians express their view - with 150 seconds allowed, they will have to get right to the point! Be impressed by the heritage that is ours by viewing the museum. Be informed by touring the factories (think about how much they ’re paying in taxes towards our children's education) and the schools. Visit the farms that invite you in, each on their own special day. Have fun on parade day and return the final Sunday for the best wind-up of all to worship with your neighbors of all faiths as one body.

The main components of this cus­ tom-designed wearable toolbox are available at military surplus stores. The U.S. Army web belt Bill bought has several eyelet holes that can be used for hanging various tools and in­ cludes heavy-duty suspenders that al low the shoulders to bear the weight of the whole assemblage These are the other military surplus devices Mr. Furlow found helpful for a days work, and thus attached to the belt: (1) Canteen. There are two kinds —military issue plastic canteens and an aluminum version. A heavy cotton carry pouch is also available. (2) Fold­ ing shovel. In the army it’s officially known as an "entrenching tool" and has a blade that can be used as either a shovel or a pick. The classic wooden handled version was replaced by the army about 14 years ago with an all-metal style that folds in two places and fits inside an inexpensive plastic carrying case. [3] Machete Bill suggests you spend the money for a good one He said he chose the cheapest one in the shop, and it promptly cracked {4j Ammo pouches These items come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and prices One or two should be sufficient for carrying nails and staples A larger size is good for carry and slip right onto loops on the front suspender straps The pouches were originally designed to carry compact field bandages, and Bill usually wears one or more of the strap pockets for that purpose or to carry a compass. (6) Hammer bolder This is the only nonmilitary item on Furlow s list. It’s basically a sturdy leather panel with a strong steel loop riveted to it. Just slip the carrier onto the belt and pass the handle of your hammer. fencing pliers, or whatever through the metal ring (Most hardware stores carry hammer holders l (7] Elastic bands These are called “blousing straps" or “boot bands ’he straps have a small metal hook at each end and stretch to more than twice their seven-inch length, which makes them very handy for securing rolled-up bulky items (such as a poncho! to the belt The real charm of this load-bearing equipment is that it allows you to customize the rig to suit a particular job by selecting the most appropriate components for the task for other work. Bill believes and we tend to agree that these tool-toeing suspenders are a great and inexpensive! way to lighten your load Every fall, the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, var. \ ious state forestry agencies, and many ’ I \ privately owned timber corporations eagerly purchase—at premium prices— pinecones for seed. To get into the pleasant free-lance job of selling pine­ cones, which not only pays well but helps reforest our countryside, contact nearby timber companies and forestry agencies, railroad companies (since they often have substantial timber holdings), or regional tree nurseries. It's important to talk with the forest­ ers before you actually gather any pine­ cones They’ll usually want you to col­ lect in specific areas (on land they plan to reforest, for instance), and they may need only one or a few particular species of tree, such as fir. larch, or pine. Fur­ thermore. many of these professionals will want to teach you some special sys­ tem of “tagging," which is a way of re­ cording the location and altitude at which the cones were gathered. Meet with the local experts early in the sea­ son, but remember that you won’t be able to begin harvesting until the seeds mature. The time this happens varies with site, species, and weather conditions, but usually happens by midautumn. To discover whether pinecone seeds are mature, simply pick a cone that you're sure is part of this year 's crop and use a long knife to cut it in half lengthwise You should see several small white seeds, each in its own little chamber, on the cut face If they're still milky and soft, the cones in that area should be left for another week or two. What you re looking for are seeds as firm and distinct as those you shake from a packet when planting your garden Before heading into the forest to begin work, you'll need to obtain a pair of light cot ton gloves, a bucket or small cardboard box. and a few gunny sacks Don't use plastic garbage bags, as the heat generated and trapped inside them will quickly destroy the viability of the collected seeds Since most buyers pay by the bushel, you may also want a bushel basket In order to pick cones effectively, you must either find trees short enough to be reached from the ground or else come up with a method of getting to the branches of taller speci­ mens. A commonly used trick is to harvest cones from roadside conifers by standing on top of a vehicle in order to reach them Find out where logging operations are being conducted and ask permission to glean the fallen branches in that area. Timber thinning operations can also provide good places to pick cones easily Use your imagination, and you'll no doubt come up with other “hot spots that are unique to your area As you collect pinecones, try to remove all foreign material, such as dirt, rocks, twigs, and moss, from the pods. Purchasers will frequently reduce the pay for a “dirty" crop. In the course of a day’s collecting, your hands or gloves will become coated with a sticky, honey like pitch. This substance is easily removed with kerosene or alcohol when you get home.

Saturday is the day when everyone will get together to celebrate Middleville’s 150th Birthday, and if preliminary plans mean anything, it will be SOME DAY! It all gets started at 11 a.m. when the largest parade ever staged steps off on a mile and a half parade route through town. Over 100 units, in­ volving over 1,000 people, according to Parade Chairman Rod Kenyon, will thrill visitors and local residents. Parking has been banned on the route (from Grand Rapids Street to the high school) so that everyone can have a clear view. Several bleacher seats will be set along the parade route for spec­ tators. (See parking note below). When the parade units arrive at the high school parking lot, most of them will be left through the day (until 6 p.m.) for close-up viewing. Upon the conclusion of the parade, a band show is scheduled for the stadium, and the Sesqui-Midway will also open at the high school. Over 40 con­ cessions, stands, and arts and crafts booths are sure to delight the visitors. A re-enactment of a Civil War battle will also take place in the early after­ noon. By six p.m. the stadium will be opening for the evening show. (There is no admission charge). The TK Jazz band, singers, and the drawing for the prizes will be made during the evening, beginning at 7 p.m. As soon as it becomes dark, over $3,000 wor­ th of fireworks will go off under the careful guidance Rev. Roger Timmerman from the Middleville of the firemen.

He is pointing to the Middleville Variety Store where he told the crowd Calvin Hill “purchased $24 worth of beads to buy the site of Middleville from the Pottawatoml Indians.” (See pages 8 and 9 for more photos). Arrive Early for Saturday Parade! If you are coming to Middleville on Saturday for the Sesquicentennial parade and festivities, parking your car could be a problem. The main thing is to arrive early! The parade will start promptly at 11 a.m. and with over a hundred units in the parade it will take some time to assemble the group and to have it pass in review. Travel on the Middleville streets will necessarily be restric­ tive. but if you come by car, park according to the lots on this map. or on the miles of streets in town. (Please don't block people's driveways!) As the time approaches for the parade, you may be asked to park outside the village limits and be bussed into town. One important thing to remember. Parking will NOT BE PERMITTED on Main Street from Grand Rapids Street to the high school. This is done so the parade route can be open for everyone's view. A han­ dicapped area has been Sesquicentennial Park next to the bridge. Village Manager Kit Roon said that the local police department will be augmented on Saturday by the Barry County Sheriffs Department and by auxiliary police. The Barry County Sheriff's Posse also will be on hand to lend a hand, if needed. he said. During the time of the parade, permission has been granted to close through traffic on High­ way M-37. Through traf­ fic will be routed off M-37 at Cherry Valley Road in the north and Adams Road in the south. K £ i PARK ARSA Z RARMJN* < 0 •FARWUG AT COMMUNITY HAUL ------------ - HIGH SCHOOL.

On this day the planning committee asks us to “turn our eyes and hearts toward heaven, in thanksgiving for all of our blessings. Several local churches have special “old fashoned” services planned for their morning wor­ ship. As we move into the afternoon, the air will be filled with the music of banjos, fiddles, dulcimers and guitars as local musicians share their talents in an outdoor gospel concert at 3:00 p.m. Immediately following the concert there will be a ten to twelve hot air Balloon Ascension put together by A-l Sky High Balloons of Caledonia. It should be a fabulous sight to behold as they go up from the Middle School grounds. The most thrilling event of the day will be a com­ bined worship service involving all of the local churches. It certainly is a "Celebration of Praise" as each different denomination comes together under a common bond. The service will feature a community choir, a hand bell choir, a liturgical dance group and much more. It will be a full day of celebrating our rich religious heritage.

There was a telephone pole in the picture with the train and the depot. Olney said that was the pole the station­ master used to hitch the lantern to to signal a message to the engineer of the oncoming train. It was attached to a pulley and they could raise and lower it as the need arose. This enabled the engineer to see way ahead whether to stop or go ahead. In the Parmelee area, there was a steep incline, so any northbound passengers that had to get off, they would ask them to get off on the move. The conduc­ tor would jump out first and help the passenger out. If they had to come to a complete stop, they had to break the train in half, take half to Caledonia and return for the other half. When Parmelee gave the land, they agreed to stop 2 trains a day. I believe he said the railroad was supposed to go along the river flats and head off to Alaska, but by giving the land, inspite of the steep grade, they put the tracks through the area that became Parmelee. Also, J. Tinker was the last storekeeper, where Ellis Cross now lives, and two sources said he was the one to remove the second story. Olney also remembered helping to haul out the dirt when the Methodist Church put a basement un­ der the church. Luana Tolan said her great grandma Tolan owned the drug store at one time in Middleville and Luana has some of the Sundae dishes she used. The Tolans entertained the Street Rod Club Saturday with a potluck, bonfire and monthly meeting. Last week end the Tolans, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Heim of Cedar Springs spent the week end in Detroit. Saturday the men went to the Stae Fair car showroom while the women shopped. Luana said during the severe rainstorm the roof leaked and so they were without electricity. In riding down the elevator they talked with some of the Mondale crew who said they were without a phone and had to use $20 in change to get some of their calls made. Monday night Rev. Art and Syd Jackson of Cedar Springs came to the Tolans for supper. Michelle Hilty brought a friend from Saginaw home for the weekend from Ferris. Mary Ann Vandal said St. Augustine welcomed their new priest, Pastor Walter Spillane with coffee and cake after Sunday morning mass. Dorothy VanOort attended her son David’s wed­ ding to her new daughter-in-law Jane Saturday at the United Methodist Church. The reception was held at Yankee Springs Hall. Pat Schondelmayer and daughters went shopping Saturday and had lunch together. The Karpinskis went camping this weekend at Big Portage Lake near Jackson. The Charlie Cox's went to Nashville to visit sister­ m-law, Mrs. Clarence Shaw. She was pleased to see them, but had had so much company she was worn out. So they only stayed just a short time. They said she is 94 and still in her own home. Mrs. Featherly was all tired out. She had a gang of family visiting. You really enjoy their visits. Myrl and Betty Schantz just returned from a trip to the east coast to see his daughter in Boston. They also toured the New England states on their threeweek trip. Finally met lyla Norton Monday in “The Shortest Bridge Walk.” It was cute. They had an ambulance on either end, in case you had trouble. They also had a refreshment stand saying “tired and thirsty after your long walk ’, then listed what you could have. We paid 25e to walk across and received a wooden Sasquicentennial Week The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml / Sept. 27,1984 / Pg. 5 nickel to show we had made the “famous bridge walk".

Senior Bill Schumacher ran his best race ever to win the first place gold medal with an excellent time of 16:29. The real strength of the Scots team, however, was the solid team depth as Jeff VanMeter, Lou VanderStel, Chris Stanek, Jaaon Laetz and Tom Bont captured Sth through 9th place within a 31-second timespan.

M TK Tennis Post Perfect Week The Trojan Tennis team continued to dominate area tennis teams thia past week with four more wins. The Troian record now stands at 10-0 overall and 7-0 in the conference. The team played well thia past week with Jennifer Geukes leading the way. Jennifer was moving much quicker this week which resulted in some excellent tennis. Her match with Forest Hills Northern was especially strong. All other singles players continue to play well. Seniors Sara Schondelmayer and Karyn Elies looked very Rood again this week. Deb Ploeg continues to show that she is the best player in the conference and one of the best in the area. Doubles teams continue to improve. Kathy and Kristy Miner are starting to work well together. Both players are hard workers ana should get even stronger as the season draws to an end. Jean Stander and Melissa VerStrate may be the steadiest team we have. Both play well from the back­ court and are improving at the net. In the Byron Center match we started an all freshman and sophomore team. We moved our regular second doubles team up to give them some experience in singles. Both Jean and Melissa played very well in winning their first varsity singles match. We will be at Hamilton this Friday to play the second place Hawkeyes. The Trojan team has one win over the Hawkeyes this year, but expect to find the going a little tougher on Hamilton's home courts. Next Tuesday we will be at South Christian for the toughest match of the season. South has one of the best teams in the state and could go as high as runner up in the state tournament. The Trojans will have their work cut out for them in this match, but our team is looking for­ ward to the challenge. We feel we have one of the best teams in the state also, so it should be a great match. of your Public Library Results from last week: Middleville 7 - Kelloggs ville 0 1st singles - D.

Now’s a good time to get a grip on the situation. Maybe if we understood more about campaign strategies and who is running for what office, and what they will do when they get there, we can make a wiser choice when election day arrives. It would take years to read all the infor­ mation available on the election process. I’ve picked out some basic books that should provide insight and answers. Understanding how the process works will bring you much closer to understanding this year’s elec­ tion. The American Political System by Robert A. Liston provides information on: individual roles in the political system, political parties, how we elect a president and how the office has grown, Congress, and the Supreme Court. It’s written in a clear con­ cise format and is easy to comprehend. The Legislative Process in Michigan by Susanne R. Morris explains the system of state politics with the emphasis on Michigan’s system. Morris outlines how the Michigan Legislature grew to the status it is today, how a bill becomes law, views from legislators on how to make laws and the language of lawmaking. There are also township and county manuals available to help you understand the roles and responsibilities of those running for office. If you are interested in elections from a historical perspective, the best book to consult is Congressional Quarterly’s Guide to U. S. Elections. Presidential, Gubernatorial, House and Senate elec­ tions are reported. Explanations of primaries, nominating conventions, political parties, electoral college and reapportionment are included. Other good source books for this subject are: A History of Presidential Elections by Eugene H. Roseboom, Members of Congress since 1789 2nd edition by Congressional Quarterly, and Presidential Elections since 1789 2nd edition, also by Congressional Quar­ terly. Once you understand the basics of the political system, your role as a voter will become much clearer. Campaigns are designed to appeal to as many voters as possible. The challenge of all can­ didates is to decide who the American electorate is. Are we young, black, women, blue collar workers? Richard Scammon’s book The Real Majority con­ tains some surprising conclusions as to who the average voter is. Presidential Elections and American Politics: Voters, Candidates and Cam­ paigns since 1952 by Herbert Asher and Winning Elections by Dick Simpson also address the ideas of campaigning the electorate and winning. What is the correlation. Of course the books we have available are not going to keep you abreast of the political situation this week For this, newspapers and weekly magazines are useful. Macleens, Newsweek, Time and U. S.News and World Report - all of these are available in the library. Sports Girls CrossCountry TakeTwo Victorys The Caledonia Girls Cross Country team opened the OK Blue season with a hard-fought 27-30 victory over a very fjood Middleville Trojan team. Pam Pollie finished first or the Scots with a time of 21:01. Again the Scots solid team depth proved to be the winning difference as 7 Scots finished ahead of MiddlevUle’s fifth runner. The Caledonia Girls Cross Country team improved their season record to 4 wins and 0 losses as they ran past the young Forest HiUs Huskies. Scots’ Pam Pollie, Pam Mer­ chant and Abbie Smith aU ran their career best times at Caledonia Lakeside Park to capture the top 3 places and give the Scots the 21-38 victory.

The mold was set for untimely mistakes when the Trojans fumbled during their opening series and the Panthers took over on the Middleville 37. Comstock moved almost twenty yards before they were stopped. The Trojans got the ball back on their own 18. A 17-yard pass from Jerry Steele to Greg Newman, an eleven yard run by Mike Newhouse and a 10-yard toss to Scott Pritchard were the key plays that took Middleville away from their own goal and toward the Panthers’. Then came the second Trojan fumble, this one at the Comstock 38, and that drive was ended. Comstock Park began to move again when Bob Caldwell surrounded a Panther fumble and Mid­ Jodie Posthumus Brian Smith TK Boys Cross Country Loses Two The Boys team lost a close meet to Comstock Park in the league opening meet at Douglas Walker Park, 26-32. Captain Toad Rounds was the first place finisher in the meet with a fine time of 17:57. This year the Douglas Walker course was lengthened to 5000 meters, so the times are slower than last year. Brian Smith continues to improve each week and was clocked at 18:28. Jon Scot finished 5th in the meet and was timed in 18:35. The team was defeated by Hastings, 19-39 on Tuesday, September 18. Todd Rounds finished 4th and Brian Smith 5th. Steve Becker finished in 8th position with a 20:06 clocking. Sophomore Dean Steeby was 10th.

Preceding the dedication of the Lions Club Sesquicentennial Park, about 500 local folks braved the “Shortest Bridge Walk” with no reported fatalities. The political candidates were each given 150 seconds to tell about why they should be elected. Everything was kept on a pretty light level and the assembled crowd seemed to enjoy this Chamber of Commerce event. In the evening political rallies by both the Democrats and Republicans were held, followed by a joint dinner at the Villa Greenery. Political officials cut the ribbon for the “World’s Shortest Bridge Walk’’ Monday afternoon. Middleville Boy Scouts from Trop 105 led the bridge walk as the color guard of the day. The “jail wagon” borrowed from the Prairieville Farm Days saw good use on Monday. Don’t be surprised to find it in operation on Saturday! “Arrested” for not having facial hair and carted off to the jail wagon was Middleville Police Officer Boyd Cain. He resisted arrest, but Keystone Kops Joe Sanford (left) and Walt Eavey prevailed! State Representative Bob Bender was nabbed for being cleaa shaven, also.

Gast. DeGrow, Shinkle. Miller. Faxon and H. Cropsey (Representatives Bartnik. Bender, Rocca. Sitz, FiUpatrick, Gilmer. Ehlers. Dutko. Hoffman. Wartner. Maynard. DeMars and Barns named co-sponsors) A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION COMMEMORATING THE MIDDLEVILLE SESQUICENTENNIAL What is it to be a good citizen? It is to acknowledge the other person's rights before asserting your own. but always to be conscious of your own. It is to be free in word and deed, but it is also to know that your freedom is subject to the other person’s freedom. It is to create the useful and the beautiful with your own hands, and to admire what others have created in love and with faith. -Kahlil Gibran WHEREAS. It is a privilege to join the citizens of Middleville as they celebrate 150 years as a community. This special event in their collective lives is an occasion for glad rejoicing, for it acknowledges the success in community life enjoyed by generations of Middleville residents; and WHEREAS. September 24 through 30. 1984. will be very special days in Middleville as several gala events hallow the greatness of the community spirit that exists in this wonderful town. These celebrations include Dedication Day. Agricultural Day. Industrial Day, Heritage Day. Educational Day, and Ecumenical Day. The grandest day of all. however, is Saturday. September 24. 1984. when a gigantic parade will take place and feature stage coaches with the mayors of Grand Rapids. Kalamaxoo, and Battle Creek riding in i.igh style. Moreover, such nationally known companies as Amway. Steelcase. Bradford White Corporation. Pabst Blue Ribbon. Stroh Brewery, and National Auto Parts Association will be represented as well as shrines from all over Michigan. Lions clubs, wagon train dubs, horse clubs, university and high school bands, and. as a special treat, the Anheuser Busch Clydesdales; and Middleville’s First Couple, Village President Bob and Pat Sullivan were dressed appropriately for the Dedication ceremonies Monday. WHEREAS. The pride the people of Middleville fed for their community is evident It is a gathering place for people to enjoy life and achieve common goals. We rejoice in their success and know it will continue forever; now. therefore, be it RESOLVED by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring). That highest tribute be accorded to the people of Middleville upon the celebration of the Middleville Sesquicentennial; and be it further RESOLVED. That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to them as a reflection of our Governor James Blanchard's aide brought greetings and a proclamation honoring Mid dleville’s Sesquicentennial. �Semicentennial Week Pfr 101 The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I Sept. 27,1984 IN TOUCH WITH BOB BENDER, 88th District State Representative Proposal “C” “The Voters Choice” Michigan voters will be making three decisions at the polls this fall when they are confronted by Proposals “A”, “B” and “C.” In this column I’ll focus on the most significant of the three, the so-called “Voter’s Choice”, or Proposal “C”. This proposal would amend the State Con­ stitution to: 1) Prohibit any tax increase unless the change is approved by voters. 2) Roll back all increases in state or local taxes which have occurred since December 31, 1981, unless they were approved by voters. 3) Roll back all increases in licenses, permits or user fees since December 31, 1984, unless they were approved by the voters or by 4/5 of the legislative body. 4) Limit city income taxes on non-residents to 5%. 5) Require that all tax proposals in the future in­ clude the purpose of the tax, the amount to be raised and the expiration date of the tax. If the amendment is approved, it is estimated that state revenue would be reduced by more than $1 billion per year. Among the tax increases which could be cancelled would be the 1983 income tax in­ crease. the 1983-84 increases in gasoline taxes and the vehicle registration fees and the 10-cent cigaret­ te tax increase of 1982. Property taxes would probably not be affected so much, since voters are already required to ap­ prove most increases. Of course, local governments and schools would be affected by the decreased state school aid, highway funds and revenue sharing which would result from lower state revenues. I will provide more detailed information through this column and a newsletter covering all the ballot proposals prior to the election. LOCAL CHURCH ST.

As so often happens, the time flew past and everyone really had to scurry around completing the plans, and there were many, many details that had to be taken care of at the last minute. The jobs got done - most of them, anyway • and the celebration is underway and going great. There is a great deal of interest, enthusiasm and par­ ticipation. One of the nicest side effects of such an intense ef­ fort on the part of so many people is that as the community works together, they grow closer together. People really get involved and they care more about the community and about each other. It never is possible to adequately thank everyone who has worked so hard, and singling out in­ dividuals is not fair, because it has been such a community effort, so I’d just like to say thanks to all of you for making this week such an event. If there are any of you who haven't taken part in the daily events, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday all have many interesting activities, so come on and join us. • The cookbook is ready! Had I known how much intense effort was required to get it done, I probably would never have had the courage to start it, but we managed to finish it, and we’re pretty pleased with it. (We re even mentioning the possibility of a second volume “someday"!. Generally, it has been pretty favorably received, but my favorite customer has to be Dorothy Brog, who has purchased 12 of them! As a beginning on that "second volume,” I’d like you to have this recipe sent to my mother from an aunt in Georgia. It calls for fresh peaches, and they are still available locally. Mom made the cobbler and so have I. It’s great served warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

We were up and ready to leave Caledonia at 7:00 a.m., George, Loretta, Laneta, Clarke and I. We met up with the rest at Hastings for another of Dorothy Conklin's well managed trips. At Marshall we changed bus drivers and Duaine Moore was with us all through the trip. This was our bus's maiden voyage. Stopped for lunch in Indianapolis and I saw Bertha Thurkettle of Caledonia who was on a trip with GM. Into Tennessee at 6:30 and checked into the Hotel Holiday Inn Vanderbilt, had dinner there and rest. Friday we went on a tour of the town and many star’s homes - Porter Wagner who travels by bus with his all-girl band, Dolly Parton’s home, Eddie Arnold (who owns his own water plant and if you don’t buy his records he will cut off your water), Waylan Jennings all fenced in. Pat Boone’s parents, also Ryman Old Opera Hall and Country Music Hall of Fame. Now to rest up before going to the Grand Ole Opry. Saw a real good show, several celebrities. Saturday off to Opryland. What a huge crowd. Saw the Ernest Tubbs choir, just wandered around with the crowd and ate lunch. In the evening we went to Printers Alley for a theatre dinner party starring Boots Randolph and his band, Ed Smith an old timer with many yams to spin, a beautiful guitar picker, but oh, such a crowd. We had an early breakfast and on the way home. Beautiful overcast sky but rained most of the way home. Rest stop near Louisville, dinner again near Indianapolis where I saw Bertha again. After lunch there was a sing-a long. We changed drivers in Mar­ shall and back to Hastings. A beautiful trip with much fun. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIDDLEVILLE! .... and to the people who have helped make it!

Saturday, Sept. 22 B-Team Middleville 33 - Lowell 0 C-Teams Middleville Raiders 39 Caledonia Wolverines 0 Middleville Badgers 28 Lowell Red 6 Prairie Sketches with LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE <---- —------------------- — ______________ J Jim and Kathie Wheeler attended the Youth Football game to watch their son Nick’s team play against Caledonia. Middleville won 39-0. Rod and Kathy Bracy flew up to Mackinac Island over the weekend to celebrate their 10th anniver­ sary. Terry spent the weekend in Charlotte with cousins. Sunday Don and Kay Link went to a birthday party for their granddaughter Renee at Buster and Robin’s house. Both Grandpa and Grandma Cline and Grandpa and Grandma Link were there for the party. Renee turned six on Monday, Sept. 24. The VanRhees went to the football game at Com­ stock Park Friday night as did neighbors Don and Kay Link. Katie Wieringa went golfing with five other ladies at Traverse City over the week end. Happy "Sesqueek!” The bridge walk was unique and I bet you’re sorry if you missed it! Ag day got rained on - but then farmers have been working in all kinds of weather as long as I can remember (uncom­ fortable for spectators, however!) The mini-museum is really neat. As in so many projects, only those who did the work know how many man hours it takes. Those hundreds of objects came from many homes - they had to be hauled in, cataloged, and put in the proper rooms • and then safeguarded! Just think of decorating a whole houseful of rooms to show it off for one week. Heritage Association, you are great, and we thank you for this delightful look into yesterday. Carla Newman, Sharon Becker. Jack and Gerrie Spencer are among the Prairie neighbors that I m aware of who have spent many hours creating the museum. Carla took this as vacation week to enjoy and participate in all the events. The Wenger family is happy to have Bob home from the hospital again. He is looking good, though tires easily. Sunday night Bob and Helen had dinner out with Bill and Oretta Warner to celebrate a bir­ thday. Happy Birthday today (Thursday) Helen! Last Wednesday I accompanied Fritz and Alice Steiner to the home of our sister, Trudy and Harley Truax in Wayland where we enjoyed supper and visiting with another sister, Bob and Stell Wittenkeller of Illinois and our aunt Ret and Francis Coney of Allegan. Phil and Barb Bender were among the many at­ tended the Caledonia Farmers Elevator dinner and annual meeting Saturday night. Daughter Vonda went to a concert with her friend Victoria and family Monday night. Dave and Sue Enders enjoyed the Frankie Valli concert at DeVos hall Sunday night - and the boys spent the night at our house. Pat and Judy Harrison enjoyed being part of a group who surprised Paul and Bonnie Crumback of Caledonia on their 25th Anniversary Sunday. We celebrated Mike Bremer’s birthday here Sun­ day evening with a pizza supper, cake and ice cream. Ward and Jessie Bender had Sunday dinner at Schulers in Marshall with Mr. and Mrs. I^ester Lord of Hastings. The week before, they went to Hardy Dam for a Campbell cousins reunion and there en­ joyed a 22-mile cruiser ride up the Muskegon River. Jessie’s sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Roberton of Brooklyn visited on Friday. Tom and I celebrated our 36th anniversary Tuesday by having our dinner at the new “Bakery ’’ at the Villa. (Nice!) Then admired the museum - a good day for looking back. Bob Hunt went to a Turkey Shoot with Gordie Timm on Sunday and - some kind of miracle must have happened - they came home with chickens! But had lots of fun, no doubt! Bernice Marble with daughters and gran­ ddaughters, Marion Cook, Gaye Patterson, Norma Johnson, Nyla Fifelski and Dixie O’Boyle flew to Boston last thursday for two full days of sight­ seeing. They stayed at the Park Plaza Hotel, had the Colony Tour around Boston and viewed the city from 60 stories up in the John Hancock Building. They spent Friday intrigued with all the shops at the Quincy Market and flew back home Friday night. That’s really packing it in. Many of us United Methodists are working hard this week to serve all of you a turkey dinner at the high school cafeteria on Thursday night. It should be a good beginning to a fun-filled evening at the auditorium. Please finish up Sesquicentennial Week by joining your family, friends and neighbors in the com­ munity worship Sunday evening. If we are awed by the sight of a dozen hot air balloons ascending at one time, think how much more awesome the hand of One who created us all. � https://www.barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/25/694/SunandNews_1984-10-04.pdf 7a78145b3123c9bb0e6e2e051e47b5f4 PDF Text Text Hastings Public Library 121 Church Hastings, MI 49053 The Keystone Kops did their job! comp The Stagecoaches brought in the mayors Grand Marshal Art Kenyon .... And a Good Time Was Had by All! From just about everyone's angle, the Middleville Sesquicentennial Celebration was an unqualified success! Starting off with “The World’s Shortest Bridge Walk" on Monday and on through the closing benediction at the Ecumenical Church Ser­ vice Sunday evening, there was excitement, drama, a learning experience and just plain fun. Every day presented a new way to see our town. After the politicians spoke to us on Monday, came Agriculture Day. It was rainfilled, but farmers are used to working around the weather. The crowd may have been small at the horse pulling contest, but not the enthusiasm. Industry Day saw many local folks taking advan­ tage of visiting the four local factories that held open house. How Middleville works has always been a fascinating part of the community. Heritage Day was when we touched our roots. The excellent Museum offered by the Heritage Association was visited by young and old with expressions of wonder and questions. In the evening the beards were judged and we got a glimpse of fashions of yesteryear. Friday was Education Day and our schools were open for inspection. Many alumni of the school came back to visit and that evening were recognized at the football game. Saturday was the big day and although the temperatures were cool, it was clear and sunny by parade time at 11 a.m. And, my, what a parade to remember! Over 115 units marched by for nearly two hours. Crowds of people lined the streets from the Community Hall to the high school, a route of over a mile and a half. Here comes the parade —! Estimates vary, but upwards of 10,000 people probably saw everything from dog-pulled carts to 20-unit Shriner mini-cars. In the afternoon the people moved to the high school Sesqui-Midway and visited the arts and craf­ ts booths and ate everything in sight! A band show went on the stadium and later in the evening people gathered for another show there. It was all capped by an “ooh and aah” fireworks display. Sunday completed the week and following church services in our individual churches in the morning, a gospel sing was held at the stadium in the after­ noon. At five o’clock 19 balloons were launched from the Middle School in the largest hot air balloon ascension in Middleville’s history. And then, over 750 local church people from the community gathered for an ecumenical service to complete the week. That was the week that was; and what a week to remember to tell to our grandchildren’s children!

You’ll find other stories that say “thank you*’ to a whole lot of peo­ ple who had anything to do with the Celebration. Not all the folks can be named, however, as just about everyone with a Middleville address had part in the festivities. Whenever a week long Celebration is planned it takes many, many people to make it work. Just stop and think what YOU did this week and how much an effort you made toward the Celebration. And, that is why Middleville’s Sesquicentennial was an unqualified success. Everyone shared in the 150th birthday party! It wasn’t just the Committee who made it a success. No one person can lay claim to having “mdde’’ the day or days. WE ALL DID IT......... TOGETHER! What a wonderful feeling it was to see Middleville pulling together for such a common cause. We hope this spirit continues and thrives for the next 150 years. • * AFTER HAVING SAID no one person can lay claim to having mdde the day, there is one guy who must be singled out for his dedication for the past year. Rod Kenyon devoted literally hours and hours (just ask his wife and sons!!) in organizing that giant of a parade on Saturday. He got the idea of involving the mayors of Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Battle Creek, and when he told members of the Committee, some of us were a little skeptical. But, Rod pulled it off! He wanted desperately to have the Clydesdale Horses here for the parade and almost called old Augie Bush (maybe he did, come to think of it!) to sec if it could be arranged. They declined (only to be in Grand Rapids this Saturday) and it was a big disappointment for Rod. But, no matter; Rod plunged on and came up with over 115 units in a two hour parade. What is even more fantastic is that the $5,000 he had bud­ geted for the parade expenses, he obtained almost singled handed. Thanks, Rod, for one outstanding job! Your community is proud of you and there are many folks in southwestern Michigan that now know just where Middleville is! Thank You! Thank You! Where does one begin to thank the people who were responsible for such a successfully planned Sesquicentennial Celebration? There were so many who had a part in the week-long festivities, that to name some would invite forgetting others equally deserving. However, the co-chairmen of the event. Rod Finkbeiner and Leo Verlinde. have submitted the following “thank you.” “Thanks to Marian Martin and Marge Williams for coordinating the “booth’’, which was ably staffed by 117 people, to our fix it - fix up crew of Russ and Ward Bender.

Leo Verlinde and Rod Finkbeiner” Financial Picture Looks Good......... Ken Bray, finance chairman of the Sesquicenten­ nial, reports that an early accounting of expenses vs. revenue indicates that all of the bills should be paid and a balance left over. The Sesquicentennial Committee "borrowed” over $1,000 from the Fourth of July fund that was banked after the last celebration, and that fund can now be repaid, said Bray. Cash contributions to the Sesquicentennial Fund were made by many local and area businesses, reported Bray.

The Shriner’s addition to the parade added spice, color, and lots of excitement. This was the Oriental Band unit from Grand Rapids. Middleville's oldest organized church, The First Bap­ tist Church, founded in 1853. John Jousma sat in the chair of honor. Midleville's "Pizza-king ”, Roas Sclafani, was arrested by the Keystone Kops for "fattening the community”. Firetrucks as far as the eye could see joined in the parade. They came from around the county and nearby towns. ‘The World’s Biggest Playpen” contained Baby Bliss employees showing their baby wear.

It was super and our hats are off to everyone. It was very successful. A big hug to all of you. Here’s to all you “gloom and doom" prophesy-ers (if there is such a word), aren’t you sorry you said “no one will ever come this time of year - why didn’t they have it in the summer’ ’’ “I bet they won’t even have 2,000 people.’’ We had a good attendance even with the cool, brisk weather. Personally, I had a wonderful time sharing ths history you folks have helped me with, also meetin g some of you that I’ve called each week but never met. I don't think I’ve talked this much in a long time. (I can just hear my hubby’s voice in the background saying ‘that’s what you do every day • nothing new about that!” Ted’s daughter, Terry, had a wonderful time helping us with our exhibit and helping with he Library and Womens Reading Club book sale. Her teachers excused her for two days to come and help. There were so many of you who had no news, just attending the week long celebration, and I’ve heard a tremendous amount of praise for all of you. The only complaint I heard was the terrible PA system they had at the stadiu. They said only the wones who sat in the first six rows could hear. I wasn’t there, so couldn’t say either say. They thought it was very unkind to the cracker jack per­ formers they had, because, along with the cold and not being able to hear, people got up and left early before the program was over. Doug Hart said they enjoyed the spectacular balloon ascension. Then their mother and gran­ dfather came Saturday and enjoyed the parade. Mrs. Alan Sherman’s daughter, Jan and Dan Stauffer had a premature baby a week ago. She weighed 3 pounds, 13 ounces and will be staying at Butterworth Hospital a while. Chris and Pat and two little children were there also. The Sanfords, Olivers, Jim and Sue Verlinde and the Leo Verlinde's were also among those busy en­ joying the celebration.

Margaret and Bill Thomas left for Florida Sunday. Doris Brog was kept busy going here and there trying to take in all the week's events. Twila Elwood fell Saturday and bruised and broke some bones. She didn’t want me to put it in the paper, but finally said okay when I told her it wasn’t fair to her friends. Because in a small town we do really care what happens to our friends. She’s at Pennock now. Bobbie Smith said they had some of the Shriners drop in to visit • she didn’t realize they were Shriners because they’d met while camping. Dick rode his lawn mower to the balloon ascension. The Eatons watched the balloon ascension, saying it was a very impressive sight. At least 18 balloons participated. The Eatons followed a chase car south of Hastings and then it came back as they were trying to find a place to land and have the owner’s permission. Shirley said it was such an impressive sight and so colorful. Within 10-15 minutes, all were up in the air. The folks in the Downs had a real front row to the whole thing. Ken Morgan said he got pictures and hope they turn out. Greta Greiner said they just got home in time to watch the balloons take off. She has had a very busy week with her son and two children spending the weekend with her for the celebrations both in Mid­ dleville and at their church. The Lutheran Church had a potluck dinner after the dedication service for two stained glass windows One was a picture of their former church and the other of the new church. Rod and Char Finkbeiner’s son and daughter-inlaw were here for the weekend. Jane won the drawing for the baby doll. Rod said the coach they were riding in in the parade was made in Germany. Hoekstra brought it to the Netherlands and then to his home near Grand Rapids. It was drawn by Fresian horses. There are only 70 of them in the U.S.. They had to canter them around the parking lot to get them warmed up. They weigh 1400 lbs. and are so graceful to watch. Joanne Barnes said she had company Sunday when I called her. Some fisherman friends had been at North Muskegon and caught 5 nice fish, 2 coho and 3 Chinook salmon. She had just finished canning it all. The Bill Chambers, Ralph and Gladys Briggs also thoroughly enjoyed the celebration. Gladys helped serve at the V.F.W. steak dinner, served over 400. Amd they had a real nice dance afterwards. Jack Hooper’s sister, Jean Ness from Falls Chur­ ch, Va., came Thursday for the doings and returns on Wednesday. Mrs. Levandoski and daughter just returned a week ago Sunday from a visit with her sister in California. It was 100° several days. Mrs. Sprenkle said Chris and Kelly were still home. Chris received the prize for being from the greatest distance. Mrs. Sprenkle said she had requests for Brown Potato soup and Pot Pie from her son. They ’d just had the soup Monday night and she was making Pot pie Tuesday. She combines hamburger, potatoes, carrots, onions and parsley and boils it. Then she mixes flour and eggs (I call them homemade noodlesQ euts them in strips and cooks them on top of the meat and vegetables. She makes a big pot and freezes the rest. Said it tastes better the second time. Pat Tolan’s folks, Ted and Jean Wieringa, came Friday and Saturday for the celebration. Jean kept telling Pat she was so glad they came - it was such a fantastic event! The Bartlett’s also took in the weeks’s celebration, along with the Featherly family, the Hamilton family. Bill and Neva Kenyon were busy with the celebration as were the Kit Roons. Marilyn Martin got married at an outdoor wed­ ding at her home, I thought Marian said Sunday.

They had cake and ice cream at son Bob’s home. The Don Deans werre busy, busy all week. Dorothy’s sister Shirley was with them helping to get things done for the Sesquicentennial. Shirley couldn’t get over the friendliness of all the people in our town. They even remembered to greet her by name when they saw her again. Didn’t the Heritage group do a bang up job on the Mini-museum? I enjoyed it tremendously. Too bad it was dismantled Monday. And the generosity of Kendall School of Design for the room partitions. The Deans went to the Seven Wallpaper Store to see if they could get some cheap paper to paper all those room dividers. Then they had explained what they wanted it for, they were taken into the back room and told they came just in time as several huge boxes of wallpaper were going to the dumpster that morning. I even used some of it on my 4x8 panels for my exhibit. Donna Kenyon had her sister from Swartz Creek here all week. Then her sister s daughter and children came Friday and spent the weekend . I'm sure all of you who worked so hard to make this a successful celebration are giving a big sigh of relief that all is done and over with. All of you are to be given a wonderful vote of thanks from all we Middleville area people. You really surpassed our greatest expectations. For such a small town to have a memorable and super celebration and to have it such a success, all say thanks so very much. A lot of hard work, for over a year on many of your parts, contributed greatly to the success. Thanks for your dedication.

Really didn't expect much news this week, for I hope you were all busy with the Sesqui festivities. And weren't they great! The working committees will never get enough thank you's', but they surely all must have a great feeling of satisfaction over a job well done (and think of the fun they must be having getting acquainted with their spouses again!) The Fred Buckinghams were happy to have son Lyle and great-grandchildren Richard and Amy Eastman spend Saturday here. Lyle especially enjoyed meeting school friends of long ago. Tom and I helped' at the Museum Friday (alumni) night, and it was a joy to see so many people, who hadn't been together for years, greeting each other. Am sure that happened often during the week and gave the time its special glow Ruth Klump went to Cran-Hill Ranch with the Caledonia Senior Citizens on Tuesday Dave Enders folks.

The Prairie was well represented with Ruth Klump, Ward and Walter Bender also included in the group. Must also say a word of thanks to all in our church who helped on the turkey dinner Thursday. Somehow feeding 100 people for two or three meals at Reunion is different than 500 at once! We learned a lot. A special hug to Ella McDonald, who can steer a bunch of rookies into a working unit. And a final note of praise. As all parents, we are proud of all of our children and the many things they do., but have to give a special pat on the back this week to daughter Fran Tobin for time and effort she expended helping put together a moving ecumenical service Sun­ day.

A good Sesquicentennial crowd packed with alumni and former Trojan grid stars saw a good TK defense and an improving offense. Middleville won its fourth coin toss of the season and, behind the running of Mike Blair and Rob An­ ders. moved quickly to its first (of thirteen) first down. Moments later Godwin had their first of 3 pass interceptions. But just as quickly Eric Timm and the defense wrested the ball back and with a fumble recovery the Trojans had the ball at the Wolverine 35. Defenses would prevail the first quar­ ter, however, and that period ended 0-0. each offense mustering only one first down, Godwin s coming on the last play of the quarter. Middleville soon had the ball back and began one of their best drives of the season. The Trojans put together a good mixture of passes and runs and moved over 60 yards before “it” happened. Godwin intercepted at the 3 and TK’s try lor paydirt was over. Dave Finkbeiner led a rested Middleville defense and 3 plays later Jerry Steele recovered a Wolverine fumble at the 8 yard line. Mike Blair, TK’s leading rusher for the game with 75 yards, moved the ball to the one and Steele carried it in from there. The PAT was no good and the Trojans led 6-0. A pass interference call against Middleville gave Godwin their second first down of the game in the ensuing series, but the defense held strong and the lackluster Wolverines were soon punting again (they were forced to punt eight times!). The first half ended 6-0. Godwin ran three plays and punted to begin the third quarter and the Trojans got the ball in good field position. Again led by the running of Blair and Anders, Middleville marched 63 yards in just 10 plays. No penalties, no fumbles, no interceptions, another one-yard plunge for Steele, and TK led 12-0. Steele also ran the PAT into the endzone - 14-0, Middleville. The Trojan defense had a great 3rd quarter. They allowed no first downs and sacked the Godwin quar­ terback 3 times for losses totaling more than 30 yards. Eric Timm, Scott King, Boo Caldwell and Dave Finkbeiner made the sacks while Mike Wiley added a couple of good hard tackles. The fourth quarter began with a third and four situation for the Trojans from the Godwin 39. Mid­ dleville was quickly down to the 20 and it seemed they would roll on into the endzone again when the Wolverines pounced on a Trojan fumble. The God­ win offense seemed to get a little momentum from the turnover and began to move the ball. Mid­ dleville’s defense dug in again, however, and on a TK Golf Team Has Busy Week The Middleville Golf team improved its OK Blue Conference record to 8-2 with victories over league leading and undefeated Comstock Park, Byron Cen­ ter ana Kelloggsville last week. The Comstock Park Panthers rolled into the Yankee Springs Golf Cour­ se with a perfect 7-0 league record on Monday, Sep­ tember 24. The Panthers had earlier defeated Mid­ dleville in a tie breaker at the Scott Lake Golf Club. Middleville’s 167-172 win moved the Trojans closer to the league lead. Middleville was again led in scoring by Rolfe Timmerman with a 39. For the first timetnis year Rolfe didn’t win medalist honors as Bucky Ross of Comstock Park shot a fine 38. Other scores for Middleville were Greg Henry’s 41; his low round of the year; Todd Courts’ 43 and Jim Will’s 44. In the Wednesday match at Ironwood against Byron Center and Kelloggsville, Middleville shot a 167, easily defeating Byron Center’s 176 and Kelloggsvule’s 189. Timmerman’s one over par 38 was the medalist score in each match. Mike Batson and Jim Will each had 42’s and Todd Courts and Bob Bekkering had 45’s to lead the Trojans in the double win. The Trojans traveled to Hastings on September 27th, played in the Forest Hills Northern Fall Classic on Saturday, September 29, will play co­ league leader Caledonia on October 1st, scrimmage Wayland at Orchard Hills on October 2 and play Hamilton and Lee at the Clearbrook Country Club on October 3.

Scott King put on another good pass rush and batted the ball out of the air and incomplete, forcing Godwin to punt again. The Trojan offense spun its wheels in the final period, but could not get going. The defense con­ tinued their outstanding play until, with less than 2 minutes to play it startea. A pass interference call against TK, then another followed by an offside call, and without doing anything the Wolverines were on the TK 35. Probably because of the two quick interference calls so fresh in their minds, the TK secondary wasn’t as tight as it might have been and a 35 yard “rainbow” found its mark in the en­ dzone and Godwin was finally on the scoreboard. Tony Plants abruptly ended their hopes for the point after, and the game ended 14-6. If Coach Rhines can get these Trojans to make fewer mental mistakes (penalties) and if they can grip the handle a little stronger as the goal line gets closer (only one lost fumble this week) the Trojans should be able to have an extremely successful season. The Hamilton Hawkeyes come into town for Parents Night Friday. Let’s stay with these kids, they have the potential to put on a really good foot­ ball show. TK Netters Hold Perfect Record The Trojan tennis team won two matches last week to bring their overall record to 12-0, and their league record to 9-0. The Conference tournament will be held this Saturday at Riverview Racket Club on Plainfield Ave., in grand Rapids. Trojan tennis players will be favored to win most of the flight championships, but winning a championship is never easy. This week we will finish a match with Hamilton. The Trojans had won three matches and were leading in three others when rain caused the match to be postponed. We will also play at South Christian and Kelloggsville this week.

The museum was a wonderful well organized building and all so authentic. The parade Saturday was beautiful and well managed, and the Sunday services too. The balloon flights were beautiful, how huge they are on the ground and so gorgeous up in the sky. All in all, the committees need special recognition and all the people involved in the celebration.

We cannot withhold names for any reason. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of The Sun and News. / An open letter to the Sesquicentennial Commit­ tee, workers, and participants of Middleville Sesquicentennial Celebration. It is with the most sincere and heartfelt gratitude we express our thanks. It is only through people like you that such a thing as our Sesquicentennial could have been such an overwhelming success. It has been expressed to me by officials of communities large and small their utter amazement at the magnitude and quality of our week-long celebration. You are truly the heart and spirit that makes Mid­ dleville a very special place. Once again, Thank You for your dedication and self-sacrifice in a truly magnificent effort and a job well done. The Village Council and Staff Robert Sullivan, President Editor Rises on Hot Air BY DON BOYSEN, EDITOR EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, editors get a chance to have a ball in the performance of their job as reporters. On the last day of the Sesquicentennial Week, I had the opportunity to go aloft with the nineteen hot air balloons that took off from Middleville. What a thrill!! Although I was busy taking pic­ tures, I did take time to take in the breathtaking beauty of our part of the world. On several previous occasions I have flown over Middleville in a small plane, but a hot air balloon ride has to be as much like a bird experiences as anything man can do. Because you move with the wind, you have no sen­ sation of air current. Doug Mills from Caledonia was our pilot, and with many years’ experience, he pointed out the many deer much quicker than we spot­ ted them. As we drived over the river, the small backroads and homesites, I got an en­ tirely new perspective of the land upon which we live. Most of it is beautiful, but man can’t hide his ugliness either, as it is easy to spot the junk back of the shed or in the ravine! It was fun to call out to folks who we knew on the ground. I’m sure it surprised a few of them when we called them by name! The ride was fabulous and we recom­ mend it to anybody. Don’t be apprehen­ sive; these guys who take you up know their business and they won’t even lift off the ground if the weather is bad. And, by the way, the landing is abrupt but not dangerous. We bumped down once and then ‘stuck’ the second time (just like Doug said we would) and the basket gently tipped over as the balloon came down to the ground. Our only regret on Sunday was that we missed the take-off of the other eighteen balloons. From all reports from the folks who witnessed on the ground, it was like being in a make-believe land of giants. All we can say is Fun, fun, fun! Letter to the Editor: The Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education goes on record at the October 1. 1984 meeting as follows: “The Board wishes to commend Leo Verlinde, Rod Finkbeiner, Rod Kenyon and the entire Sesquicentennial Committee for the excellent celebration during the week of September 24-30. This is something the community can long remem­ ber and be proud of.” Dear Editor: The entire Stein family would like to take this op­ portunity to thank the countless people who made the Sesquicentennial a tremendous success. We en­ joyed every minute. The events wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts and leadership by people like Rod Finkbeiner, Rod Kenyon, Leo Verlinde and others. What will Middleville be like in the next 2, 4, 10, 20 • 150 years? Let us continue the spirit of plan­ ning, involvement, cooperation and hometown pride that made the Sesquicentennial Week the “Week that Was.” Sincerely Regina and Jerry Stein family Oosterhouse in the Spotlight Brian Oosterhouse had another good day in Hope College football last Saturday against Albion. Brian was on the receiving end of a 5-yard pass for a touchdown. Hope then did an onside kick and recovered the ball on the 30 yard line; 21 seconds later, on the next play, a pass from Greg Heeres to Brian was good for another TD from 38 yards out. Brian has five TD’s for the season thus far. OBITUARIES New Auto Service Opens in Caledonia A new business began operation in Caledonia on business is owned by Don Apsey and Kevin Giar.

National 4-H Week With the advent of the Sesquicentennial, many people celebrated their “Middleville Roots.” We had a great opportunity to reflect the past, and at the Village Museum we tried our hand at some of the tasks of yesteryear, like candlemaking. Isn’t it for­ tunate that some people have learned these skills and pass them along to others. 4-H in Middleville has a rich heritage. Hundreds of children have genefitted from the experience of dedicated adults who have given their time to teach young people. This week is National 4-H Week. Your local group, the Middleville Clovers, has a display window at the Country Family Food Co-op. Please stop by to learn more about 4-H. We do need leaders to teach sewing, woodworking, crafts, electrical projects, computer programming and more. The groups are usually 3-4 children for each leader. If you have a skill you’d like to share, call Marianne Baerman at 795-7210.

Bank Receives Funds For Student Loans The Hastings City Bank, Hastings, will obtain up to $1 million for student loans it originates from the Student Loan marketing Association (Sallie Mae) of Washington D.C. Sallie Mae officials estimate that its commitment to the bank could facilitate origination of approximately 400 student loans over the next three years. Hastings City Bank will obtain the funds by selling existing student loans from its portfolio to Sallie Mae, the major financial intermediary for education credit and the nation’s largest single source of funds for guaranteed student loans. “We are expanding our education loan program to include all Barry County residents, whether or not they were previously our customers.’’ said Robert E. Picking, president and CEO of Hastings City Bank. “By selling existing loans to Sallie Mae we can, in effect, recycle our funds and thus assure our ability to meet the financial needs of our student customers.” Guaranteed Student Loans are the predominant financing vehicle for students attending post­ secondary educational institutions. Maximum an­ nual loan amounts for undergraduate and graduate students are $2,500 and $5,000 a year, respectively. Loans are originated by private lenders and public agencies and are reinsured by the federal gover­ nment. Students are required to begin repaying the loans on a monthly basis after they graduate or leave school. By buying insured student loans and providing other financial services to financial and educational institutions, Sallie Mae replenishes local supplies of student credit. Last year the corporation provided $2.6 billion in funds and commitments for student loans nationwide. Sallie Mae, whose stock is traded on the New York Stock exchange, raises funds to provide these services by borrowing in the nation’s capital markets.

The Trojan Junior Varsity football team traveled to Hamilton last Thursday and dropped a tough 168 loss. Freshman quarterback, Tim Thompson, connec­ ted on 6 of his 10 passes for 85 yards. Thompson’s primary target was Rich Smith who grabbed down 3 passes for 50 yards. Complimenting Thompson’s passing game was Tim Mesecar who rushed for 78 yards on 11 carries. Chipping in with 35 yards rushing was Mark Drenton. The Trojan defense proved strong once again as they intercepted 3 passes, knocked down 4 passes, recovered 2 fumbles and blocked an extra point kick. Collecting interceptions were Joe Yates, Tim Thompson and Tim Mesecar. Mesecar stole an errant Hawkeye pass and raced 80 yards for the score. He also collected two points on the conver­ sion. The Trojans take on Byron Center at home this week. Game time is 7:00. TK Freshmen Even Season with Win The Troian freshman football team traveled to Zeeland on Thursday and evened their season record at 2-2-1 with a 22-16 win over Zeeland. Brian Verlinde and Brad VanSickle teamed up for the first score on a 71 yard pass in the first quarter. Mark Ir­ win ran in for the extra points. The second TD came on another pass, this time 31 yards to Lance Patnoude. Ross Sprague caught a pass for the extra points. The third TD came early in the fourth quarter on a 1 yard sneak by Verlinde. The extra point pas. was short. At this time the Trojans lead 22-0. Late in the 4th period Zeeland recovered a fumble and returned it for a TD. Their second TD came on a 50 yard pass, but TK held on for the win. The defense played well, particularly the linebackers of mark Irwin, Terry Bowen, Kevin Martinez and Steve Egleston FAMIL Y CARE DENTISTRY IN MIDDLEVILLE I I WESTERN AUTO FREE INITIAL EXAMINA TIONS FOR OPEN 7 DAYS ECONOMY DENTURES - $375 ECONOMY PARTIALS - $325 M-F 8 to 8.

The Trojans ran more offensive plays and rolled up more first downs than Hamilton but the Hawkeyes led in the most important stat.. touchdowns. Hamilton used the “big play" to beat Middleville, scoring on runs of 20 and 24 yards and two pass plays covering 57 and 71 yards each. After losing their first coin toss of the season the Trojan defense dug in and Hamilton was soon pun­ ting. Middleville's first series was abruptly ended by a pass interception. Hamilton made short work of their second possession, moving 43 yards in 4 plays for the score. The kick for the PAT was good and the Hawkeyes led 7-0. Greg Newman ran the Hamilton kick-off back 20 yards to the 44. 27 yards later, the Hawkeyes were lying on a TK fumble and the quarter ended 7-0. During the second period the Trojan defense for­ ced Hamilton to punt three times while the TK of­ fense ground out nearly 100 yards — but no scores. The big blow came when the Hawkeyes intercepted on their own 3 yard line. The half was soon over and Hamilton's early score was well within reach of the Trojans. The Hawkeyes seemed to have the psychological edge from the beginning. Their enthusiasm was especially evident as the second half was about to start. Even though they led only 7-0, Hamilton came charging out onto the field while the Trojans shuffled themselves into position. (Come on you guys.. I think I can, I think I can. I think I can ...) After swapping punts, the Hamilton quarterback let fly a bomb that exploded into a 71-yard touch­ down play. Mike Wiley blocked the extra point kick and the Hawkeyes had a 13-0 lead. After a 12-yard kickoff return by Scott Pritchard, the offense fizzled again and Jerry Steele was called on to punt for the fourth time of the game. Three plays later another Hawkeye long ball (57 yards) found its mark. The kick was good and the third period ended 20-0. The final quarter began as sour as the third had ended. Two big plays (45 and 20 yards) put the Hawkeyes in for their fourth.and final score. The Trojans then put together a 60-yard drive which in­ cluded an impressive 30-yard run by Chris Gosset. A six yard romp by Rob Anders capped the drive and the Trojans were finally on the scoreboard. During the Middleville scoring drive, Hamilton was penalized for having too many players on the field. I wonder how long the Trojans had been outnum­ bered? The remainder of the game was frustration for Middleville. Though the defense did some of its best team tackling and hard hitting, a fumbled punt and back-to-back personal fouls helped Hamilton to run out the clock and the Trojans hope for a share of first place. Middleville showed some fundamental im­ provement by cutting down on their fumbles, penalties and interceptions. Plants, Barnard, Newhouse, Wiley, King and Lydy again led the defense. The Trojan ground game was led by Chris Gosset and Jerry Steele, but it was held to less than 100 yards. The passing attack added 120 yards. Besides directing over 60 offensive plays and six times, Jerry Steele was expected to successfully play in the defensive secondary. Now he is definitely a good athlete and he has a lot of heart, but are Jerry’s talents and energies being stretched too thin? There must be another athlete on the team with the energy and desire to play in the defensive backfield. Wouldn’t the offense benefit from a rested quarterback? The defense looks pretty good. Maybe the offense can be brought up to the caliber of the defense. The Trojans will be really tough to beat when that happens. We travel to Byron Center this Friday. The Trojans have the most loyal fans in the area. Try to get over to Bulldog country and show the team that our confidence in them hasn’t been shaken. s | COMMERCIAL - RESIDENTIAL [ New Construction, Remodeling, Service Upgrading and Repairs CUSTOM HOME WIRING p 16 Years Experience 891-1156 ? �The Sun and News.

Middleville Girls Tennis Team Has Perfect Conference Tourney The TK Girls Tennis team completed their regular season in record breaking fashion last week as they won all seven flights of the conference tournament.

For the fourteenth time in sixteen matches Rolfe Timmerman was the match medalist with a 40. Batson had 44, Will 45 and Mar­ ty Kermeen a 48 to help lead Middleville to the double win. Middleville will entertain Maple Valley on Mon­ day, October 8, enter a JV tournament at Kenowa Hills on October 10, and play in the Regionals at Palmer Park on October 12. back again this year to defend her title against Mid­ dleville's Jennifer Geukes in the finals. Jennifr had already played two matches when she walked onto the court to dethrone the defending champion. The cham­ pionship round between Middleville and Hamilton lasted tor over three hours, as neither girl would give in to fatigue, or to their opponent. Jennifer lost the first set 8-4. She came back with a strong second set. and won 6-1. The third set was the longest in OK Blue conference play. Jennifer had a match point against her. but was deter­ mined to extend the match. She came back from match point and won the game to even the set score at 7-7. Jen­ nifer was trailing by one game or even with her opponent until the set score reached ten all. At that point. J ennifer took charge and went on to claim her conference crown by winning the third set 12-10. The seniors have been the “heart ' of our team this year. Sara Schondelmayer, karyn Elies. Kathy and Kristy Miner were all seeded number one in the conference tour­ nament. Sara and Karyn played some of their beet trams of the year to win their final matches in straight sets. Kathy and Kristy Miner, who play first doubles, also won their match in straight sets. The leadership and dedication of this year's seniors has been very important to the success of the team. Their leadership has led the team to a 15-1 record overall, and 12-0 in the conference. Melissa VerStrate and Jean Stander won the second doubles flight. Julie DeMorrow and Lisa Wolverton won the third doubles flight. All four players gave very im­ pressive performances, winning their final matches in straight sets. These four players, along with Missy Roun­ ds, will be counted on heavily to take the place of this vear s seniors when the 1985 season rolls around. We sometimes take for granted the efforts of parents who spend so much time supporting and working with our tennis players. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the parents for all of their work ana support. We had a great crowd on hand for the tournament Saturday. I know Jennifer appreciated having so many friends and parents there when she came off the court. A special thanks to parents who decorated the van. Thanks also to Mr. and Mrs. John Schondelmayer for another special dinner after the tournament. It’s always great to get the team together after the conference tournament, and the Schondelmayers have been special hosts to our team for the past few years.

On display were brochures, bumper stickers, frisbees and a model of our first recycling site in Barry County established in the fall of 1982. Since then Middleville has kept approximately 10 tons of glass and over 2l/i tons of metal out of the waste stream and out of the landfill. Tim Grande, a local artist from Middleville, painted new signs for the Middleville Recycling Site to help spruce it up for the Sesquicentennial Recycling in-services for teachers at Middleville’s West Elementary and the Middle School last month were met with considerable enthusiasm.

Mr. French’s sixth grade science class students at Thornapple Kellogg have been studying how impor­ tant recycling is in conserving our natural resources. As a class project, for nearly three weeks they collec­ ted recyclable materials and counted each item to find out which class brought in the most items. When they finished counting, the number of items was an un­ believable 3,582! The winning class was second hour with over 1,000 items. After all the items were at school, the problem became how to move over 3,000 bottles, cans and aluminum pans from the school to the Middleville Recycling Center behind Middle Mart Party Store a half mile away. The solution - carry them in boxes. The students made a grand parade going to and from the Center. It was work on their part, but also nice to be able to help protect the environment. Hopefull, the habit of recycling will stay with them the rest of their lives.

In some localities, the registered voter rolls allegedly exceed the U.S. Census figures of eligible voters. Statistics like that tend to make public of­ ficials sit up and take notice. In addition, there is a trial currently underway in­ volving conflict of interest charges against two city officials who were also election commissioners par­ ticipating in the re-election campaign of the mayor of Highland Park. Obviously, it is time to review the voter registration procedure and the elections process it­ self. A bipartisan effort is underway to begin a study of the system, incorporating both political parties and an outside legal firm. A high number of registered voters is fantastic, but only if that num­ ber truly reflects those who actively participate in the political process. Voter apathy is one problem which all of us must continually work against. However, voter distrust prompted by inaccurate voter polls cannot be tolerated. William Tweed, the boss of Tammany Hall, once said, “As long as I count the votes, what are you going to do about it?” In Michigan, it is our goal to guarantee to the voters of this state that when their votes are coun­ ted, they are counted properly and that the process under which those votes are cast is above reproach. Our political process will not tolerate anything less. FIRST BAPTIST Dr. Anderson CHURCH OF MIDDLEVILLE M-37, north of Middleville - Ph. 795-9726 SALUTES Wesley Smith, Pastor Mark J.

Paper labels need not be removed from glass, but must be removed from tin cans. Cans can be flattened by opening both ends, tucking them inside and step­ ping on the can. Brown, green and clear glass should be sorted and placed in appropriate glass container. Aluminum and tin should also be separted in Mid­ dleville and Hastings. Plate glass, light bulbs, and ceramics are not recy clable and contaminate the load.

NO. 42 • OCTOBER 18,1984 Residents to Get 44Another Chance” At Fire Millage AMONG all the proposals and candidates that will face the voters on November 6, there is one issue that is a cause for concern for local gover­ nment officials and the Thomapple Middleville Fire Department. In August a request to renew millage for fire protection was defeated by the voters in the primary election held in Thornapple Township. Township officials have placed the issue on the November ballot for two reasons, according to Township Supervisor Donald Boysen. “First of all, the board felt that without the millage the department will fall behind in keeping the equipment and trained firemen up to date. Secondly, the turnout in August did not represent a majority of the thinking of the people in the town­ ship,” said Boysen. At stake is a 1 mill renewal of a levy that has provided funds to place the local department among the best equipped and trained units in the state. Prior to voting millage, the fire department has “limped along” with antiquated equipment and just barely protected the property in the district. With the advent of the millage, trucks were purchased and old ones retired from service. “There are no immediate plans to purchase ad­ ditional equipment at this time,” said Fire Chief Bob Kenyon, “but we must always be looking toward the future. Present day fire pumpers can cost from $100,000 to $135,000. The township adop­ ted the policy (with the millage) to create an equip­ ment fund from which the trucks can be purchased without resorting to expensive, interest paying bonding issues. This equipment fund now stands at $40,000, but with the loss of the millage this tax year, some of the department’s operating expenses may have to come from that fund. The Thomapple Middleville Fire Department ser­ ves all of Thornapple Township, all of Yankee Springs Township and a portion of Irving Town­ ship. Both Yankee Springs and Irving voted extra millage tha goes directly to the fire department. In his report to the taxpayers at the annual meeting held last spring, Chief Kenyon reported that from December 1, 1982 to Nov. 30, 1983, the local department had 83 runs. Middleville (23%) and Thomapple Township (35%) accounted for over twothirds of those run. Based on a payroll of $15,339, the average labor cost per run was $184.81. “Without the millage, long range planning for the department is not possible. It has taken many years of effort to bring the department up to our excellent level,” said Supervisor Boysen. “We’d like to keep that high standard.” UM Bazaar Set For November 3 OCTOGENARIANS GATHER The Annual Octogenarian Dinner, sponsored by the Middleville United Methodist Church, took place on Tuesday of this week with this fine group of “over 80’s” on hand.

Proposal “B” would provide constitutional protection for Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, which was created to acquire and maintain recreational and environmentally-special acreage. There currently is nothing that stops the state from using it for other purposes. Because of that, the fund has been “raided” for various uses other than for what it was intended. In fact, the fund, which once stood at nearly $150 million now consists of only around $14 million. In addition to the protection afforded by a con­ stitutional amendment, a $200 million cap will be placed on the fund with any remaining dollars going to the General Fund. However, the Legislature would retain the authority to raise that ceiling with a three-fifths vote. The most controversial of the ballot issues, Proposal “C”, would require all tax increases in the future and those enacted since December 1981 to be placed before the voters for approval. Proponents of the measure argue that it is the only way to bring government spending under control, and that it will make our legislative leaders more accountable. Op­ ponents, however, point out thdt passage of the plan would, instead, allow only a small minority to con­ trol the state’s tax structure, as well as cripple Michigan’s schools and other institutions which depend on the current tax system. The keystone of a democratic society is the freedom to vote in accord with your beliefs. Implicit in the privilege, however, is the responsibility of making an informed decision. Exercise your right to vote — after reviewing the questions thoroughly. Caledonia Woman’s Club Promotes Hugh O’Brien Scholarship The Caledonia Woman’s Club met at the Caledonia Elementary gym last Monday to see a film on the Hugh O’Brien Scholarship Program for high school sophomores. Bonnie Miller, First Vice President of the Michigan Federation of Women’s Club, explained the program which gives high school sophomores a chance to meet outstanding leaders in the nation and train for leadership.

CHS Marching Band Has a Busy Season The Caledonia High School Marching Band is in­ volved in a very busy season which was highlighted on Tuesday, October 9 when they participated in the Class B Marching competition at Northview High School and received straight first division ratings. The band was also rated first division at the Red Flannel Marching competition in Cedar Springs the previous Saturday, October 6. The Fighting Scots Marching Band began the season with a week of intense rehearsals at the high school during the week of August 27. Rehearsals were held throughout the day with the first one beginning at 10:00 a.m. and the last one concluding at 8:30 p.m. There was time for recreational ac­ tivities, however, as the students were bussed to Gun Lake State Park at 4:00 each day for swim­ ming. When they returned to the school, the Caledonia Band Boosters had prepared picnic style dinners for the students to enjoy before their evening rehearsal. The boosters also sponsored an evening activity each night which included volleyball, a campfire and a dance. On Saturday, September 22, the bands and band boosters hosted their annual “Parade of Bands.’’ This marching band spectacular featured a parade through Caledonia which included area high school bands and many other parade units from the area. The parade was followed by an “Exhibition of Ban­ ds” at the Caledonia High School football field. The highlight of this program was a massed band per­ formance directed by Mr. Dave Catron, the director of bands at Michigan State University. On November 3, Saturday, the Caledonia band will travel to Hope College as they have been asked to be the featured band at the halftime of the College football game on that day. The Caledonia High School band is directed by Peter DeLille and is under the field direction of senior drum majors Jill Harrison and Jason Radmacher. The Flag Corp is coached by Bonnie Good­ speed and is under the field direction of Co-Captains Jeanne Mills and Mickey Moon. ELDON NEWMYER, D.C.

One morning when I got up to go for my walk, moat of the trees in the yard had lost their leaves. And I sure hadn’t noticed that before I went to bed the night before. With the fog • and as I walked past our dump - you could hear the nuts falling con­ tinuously. Boy! what a crop of walnuts this year. I thought with the dry spell we would have only small ones. Some trees do have small nuts, but lots of them are big fat ones. So as usual, our driveway has nuts on it to husk or loosen the husks. So if you come to see me don’t be surprised if I’m down working on them. We have to keep them in the drive near the house or the squirrels have a picnic. Daughter Mary, hubby John and son Kyle stayed with us over the weekend. They are moving to Oregon where John just got a new job in 4-H work. Hate to see them go, but delighted they are going to a different area and get to see more things. The Shermans had Alan’s younger brother staying overnight Friday. Then they went to Muskegon to visit an older brother, so the six of them had a good visit Saturday. Little Stephanie came home Monday. She weighs 4 lbs. 6*/s oz. LaVonna says it’s just like handling a doll, she’s so tiny. The Sanfords went to the Lions game Sunday and they won which made the trip much more wor­ thwhile. Jack Lewis, his girl friend and daughter, came from up north to see his brothers. The Middleville Lewis’s don’t want Grandpa and Grandma and mom to think they’ve forgotten them. They all send their love and hope to see them soon. Louise Elwood said her son-in-law left for Califor­ nia last Tuesday. Sunday son Tom came for dinner. While Al and Vai Eavey, their folks Walt and Mike Eavey attended Matt Wieringa’s wedding, great-grandma and Pat got to take care of Lisa and Allison. Louise said she hadn’t realized how rusty she’s become as a small child’s babysitter. Dick Smith said about five camping units got together at Gun Lake for a weekend campout and for their annual fish fry. They had a lovely relaxing time. Alberta Hooper attended the World Series Sun­ day in Detroit. Quite a game. Margaret Abbott said a week ago they attended a V.F.W. convention at Boyne Mountain and had good weather until coming back. Mrs. Sprenkle said her son Stephen called from Chicago and he'll be home this weekend. Saturday night they played cards with John and Helen Sweers, former Middleville folks. More folks who attended the Wieringa-Mast wed­ ding were the Clare Tolans. Sunday they went to visit Clare’s dad who is now home from the hospital. Marj Williams and Marian Martin attended their nephew Matt Wieringa’s wedding Saturday night. Fred and Bonnie Williams of Toledo, Ohio were Saturday night guests.

Talked with Dorothy Dean and their daughter Robin’s husband, Carl Schleh, came home Monday after a three-week stay in the hospital. He still will have to keep his legs up for three more weeks, but good to be home. Twila Elwood sounded perky tonight. She’s coming along well. Mrs. Featherly sounded much better than last week.

Bulldogs, 26-22 BY MIKE BREMER The Trojans put another notch in their victory elt Friday by beating a homecoming-hyped Byron enter team 26-22. It started as the last few Friday ights have, the defense forcing the opposition to unt (Byron Center punted three times the first uarter) and the offense stuck in neutral (Midleville also punted three times that period). Greg fewman’s good punt coverage and tough team efense kept the Bulldogs off their game and in their wn territory. Meanwhile, dropped passes were the 'K offensive downfall the opening quarter. It was uickly over... 0-0. The second period began with Middleville ecovering a B.C. fumble at the Bulldog 36. The Yojans capitalized on the turnover and converted it ito the first score of the game. Jerry Steele scamered in for the first of his two touchdowns. The ■oint after try was stopped and Middleville led 6-0. lyron Center was determined not to have their tomecoming spoiled and quickly marched down the ield to tie the score. Their PAT was good and Byron vas on to 8-6. The Trojans moved the ball well again <n their next possession but could not find the en­ dzone. The half ended with the Bulldogs leading by two. Middleville started the second half with the ball but gave it up after a fourth down play fell just short. Byron Center then unleashed a 64-yard touchdown pass, scored the PAT and led 16-6. The home field/crowd advantage seemed to be showing its hand. But the Trojans had other plans. The rest of the game belonged to Middleville. TK took the kickoff and very effectively mixed pass and run as they shoved the Bulldog defense back 60 yards into their own endzone. Jerry Steele scored on a 10-yard romp and the Trojans had narrowed the gap to 1612. Brad Barnard, Jon Moretti and Mike Newhouse then sparked the defense into putting a leash on the Bulldog offense. A pass interception pulled the choke chain tight as the third quarter drew to a close. With the defense holding back the Bulldogs, the Trojan offense powered its way 45 yards for the goahead touchdown to begin the final quarter. Jay Porteous, Hanz Davis, Thad Wenger, Charlie Lund and Mike McCleod gave the Trojan running backs all the holes they needed to reach the endzone again. Rob Anders rammed it home from two yards out for the TD and then again for the PAT as Middleville retook the lead 20-16. The defense again slammed the door on Bulldogs who were soon forced to punt once more. A high snap from center was mishandled by the Byron punter and Bob Caldwell was there to smother the scrambling booter. The Trojans got the ball deep in Bulldog country. Middleville's offense again showed their improved discipline on the following series as Jerry Steele continued to suc­ cessfully draw Byron Center offside. With first and goal from the five, short yardage specialist Rob An­ ders was called on again — and again he delivered. TK 26 - BC 16. Byron Center tried to come roaring back, but they were barking up the wrong tree. The Bulldogs couldn’t get a bite big enough to chew. The Trojan defense stopped them at the thirteen. A first down or two and Middleville could have put the leftovers in a doggie bag and gone home - but a Trojan fumble bounced into a passing Bulldog who would have scored easily had he not been tripped up by Steele at the 8 yard line. Four plays later. Byron scored, but it was too little, too late. TK had served them a 26-22 party-spoiling defeat. It was Mike Newhouse’s turn for a big night as he led the team in offense (over 75 yards), and made a half dozen good hard tackles - two of them behind the line of scrimmage for Bulldog losses. Kelloggsville comes to town this week to try to upset the Trojan homecoming festivities. Be there for all the action Friday at 7:30.

These are two of the best teams we have seen on this side of the state. They should do very well in the state tournaments again this year. In one of the most exciting matches of the day, Deb Ploeg pushed south Christian’s Nancy Venema, into three sets. Deb lost the first set 6-1, but bounced back to take the next set 7-6. In the third set, Deb was able to keep her opponent away from the net, and mixed her shots very well until late in the match. Venema was simply too strong down the stretch. After being ahead 4-2, and having two game points. Deb finally lost the all important seventh game, and finally the set, 6-4. Both players received a well-deserved round of applause at the end of the match, which lasted nearly three hours.

King Steve Miller and Queen Kristy Miner Ride Horses from Lake to Lake Across Michigan (Note: In September, several members of the Double D Trail Riders rode their horses from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron. This is member Jean Ford's account of their ride.) The annual Cross-Michigan Shore to Shore Rides are sponsored by the Michigan Trail Riders Association. This year the ride started at Empire where you ride into Lake Michigan to qualify. Some of us had trouble getting our horses into the water as there had been four foot waves the day before, and the water was still a little rough. When the waves rolled onto the beach, the horses put it into a fast reverse. With patience and a little help from others who managed to coax their horses in, we finally all made it. . Each day we averaged approximately 30 miles, and camped for the night. The trip takes a total of 910 days riding, beginning September 15 and ending on the 23rd. It is a beautiful trail with many dif­ ferences in terrain from the west side of the state to the east side. Some areas are very challenging, with rivers to cross, corduroy roads, and boardwalks over swamps. The weather for most of the trip was ideal. There was rainrthe first of the week at night, frost several mornings which disappeared by mid­ morning, and no rain again until the last day, when it rained in the morning. We had a lot of fun, met a lot of nice people and learned a great deal. We all completed our ride by riding into the water of Lake Huron, and received a nice certificate and trophy from the Michigan Trail Riders Association. MGS PUBLIC LIBRARY 121 S.

And they are not all in traditional women-predominated fields, such as the secretarial and teaching professions. In 1970, 1.1 million women held executive, administrative or managerial positions. By 1980. that number had almost tripled to 3.2 million. Most women today make a sizable contribution to the household coffers, and many are demanding legislation that would legally entitle them to half of the property that is accumulated during the partnership. This plan also protects the rights of the spouse who dies first. Those dying first may dispose of their one-half portion of the property any way they see fit, without interference of the surviving spouse. Property owned by either spouse before the marriage would remain the individual property of that person, while any proceeds would become marital property. For example, if a woman brings to a marriage a stock portfolio, ownership would remain with her, while any dividends would be owned equally by both partners.

I had a chance to talk history with some friends. As my husband says, "Don’t give Norma an opening to start talking about history, she doesn’t know enough to quit. So I spent the rest of the evening finding out more about our local history. A lot of you didn't get called, but I learn so much when I delve into our own local history from you generous folks who share your life with us, that it makes me feel like a very rich con­ tented person. I’m charged up for quite a while. So forgive me this week. But if you have any news. I’d appreciate your calling me first. Cathy Williamson helped me tremendously this week when she called in her news. Husband Don went to Kansas City with other art instructors for a seminar at the Hallmark Company.

Poison Prevention Tips for Fall Season Western Michigan Poison Center presents a few reminders for poison prevention at this time of the year. One of the better times to plant bulbs is in the fall. Bulbs can be confused with other things such as onions. This confusion is compounded when bulbs and onions are stored together in the refrigerator. Daffodil, iris and tulip bulbs are a few of the poten­ tially dangerous ones. Care should be taken to leave package labeling on to help in identification and prevent accidents. As you warm up the house this fall, make sure you do it safely. 6irt and improper adjustments cause heaters to burn inefficiently and produce carbon monoxide, a deadly gas that strikes without war­ ning because you cannot see or smell it. Provide proper storage, preferably locked cabinets, for unused pesticides/insecticides, an­ tifreeze, gasoline, paint thinners and household cleaning agents. Be sure to have all your indoor and outdoor plants identified. Label each one of them with a stick. Hang toxic plants up high where little hands cannot reach. These things are only a few of the potentially dangerous ones commonly found in the home. Most household poisonings can be avoided if adults take proper precautions. If a poisoning does occur, call the poison center immediately. Their toll-free num­ ber is located on the inside front cover of your phone book.

Bull, an early settler of the present Irving and Rutland Townships; Luther B. Hills’ part in surveying and platting the village of Irving; the businesses of Irving with Platte maps of 1873, 1895 and 1913 showing various businesses of those years. Then we have the article well rounded off with recollections from former and present residents of the village. They are Ben and Hazel Nagel, Nellie Gillette Schenkel, Dick Belson, Maude Bennett Steeby and Leona Bennett Packer. My sources are many; History of Allegan and Barry County of 1880; Michigan Gazeteer; a scrap­ book from Kalamazoo’s public library; an article written by Ray Johnson; an original manuscript written by Dick Belson and Bill McCann Jr. in 1949 when Dick was 14 and a student at Middleville school; also the Hastings Banner scrapbook. Pictures were also loaned to me; by Dick Belson showing a two story part of the apple dryer, M.E. Church; Cliff Johnson’s picture of John Perry’s steam sawmill; Nell Schenkel's picture of the Irving School; Ben Nagel’s picture of the general store, cheese factory, train depot, Dr. Lund driving thru a flood, and a nearby “snack bar’’ on the Arthur Hathaway’s farm given to Ben by Hathaway’s son and wife. Thank you for your unselfish help in com­ piling the history of Irving. Early trading posts were the first buildings erec­ ted by French fur traders. One big independent fur trader, Louis Campau, had trading posts on the Kalamazoo River, on Gun Prairie, at Bull’s Prairie, at Southeast corner of Thornapple Township, at Green Lake, Leighton Township, and one at the future site of Grand Rapids. You see the American Fur Trading Co.’s and big independent fur traders like Louis Campau brought their goods from the east by sail vessels to Mackinac, then they transferred their goods to lake barges and went down the east coast of Lake Michigan to St. Joseph River and the fort where Chicago is now. But until the settlers came, they never used the Grand River or the Kalamazoo River. In 1831, a Lucius A. Barnes entered at the White Pigeon Land office for Louis Campau, the lands now occupied by Grand Rapids, so you can see Campau was busy through this area. One article says Moreau set up the trading post on Bull’s Prairie, another that Moreau operated Louis Campau’s trading post on Bull’s Prairie. The monument on Bull’s Prairie put up by Barry County Historical Society said Moreau’s Trading Post was started in 1827 and operated for approximately 10 years. THE FARM HOME OF ALBERT E. BULL (1880) RUTLAND TOWNSHIP 33, which included Moreau’s deserted trading post. He was said to be the first settler in now Irving and Rutland Twp. In 1832 Bull purchased several par­ cels of land in Irving and Rutland townships totaling 202.28 acres, and by 1849, had purchased another 320 acres in Irving Township. Ray Johson's article called him a Massachusetts capitalist, another article said he came with $500. He followed the Chicago Trail to White Pigeon. Soon afterwards he opened a general store at Insley’s Comers in Prairie Rounde, Kalamazoo Coun­ ty in partnership with a man named Kellogg, but severed relations in a few months and opened a store in the “Islands’’ not far from Insley Corners. Being a surveyor he platted 40 acres of land he had pur­ chased for a town site and called it Schoolcraft. Here was built the village of Schoolcraft. Bull was described as a small, keen, straightforward blue eyed man, inspiring prospective buyers with con­ fidence, and his lots sold rapidly. While on business in Detroit he bought 1,000 acres now included in Rutland and Irving Twps. at $1.25/acre. This land he found to consist of several hundred acres of prairie and oak openings bordered by the Thomapple River. To this area he brought a force of twenty wood­ choppers. With him he also brought Mr. and Mrs. Houston Cisler and Mr. and Mrs. John Henyon. The women prepared the meals for the men. Joseph Cisler, son of Houston Cisler, in his article from the Hastings Banner scrapbook, says “his family came to Bull’s Prairie in 1836 where his dad and he and his brothers worked the farm belonging to A. E. Bull. ’’ He goes on to recall how Bull’s home was the intellectual center of the new settlement for he had the best library in this part of the country. He had a store in White Pigeon, in Kalamazoo, then Bronson, at Prairie Round or Schoolcraft - the scene of James Fenimore Cooper’s “Oak Openings ”, Bull’s Prairie was the jumping off place into the wilderness - which was afterwards laid out into the townships of Carlton and Woodland. The settlers fording the river at old Indian fords to get to the trails on the opposite shore of “Sow-an-que-sake” or the Thornapple River. One of these fords was near the railroad bridge, the other several hundred feet farther down the stream, (the railroad trestle was near the monument on Bull’s Prairie and we think the other fording place was in Irving where the bridge and dam are). Moreau’s trading post was in ruins when they moved there. Joseph dug among the ruins and found buried casks which had con­ tained whiskey. Moreau traded fire water to the In­ dians and when he thought they’d had enough he was in the habit of burying the casks so he might back up his story that he had no more. By 1839 the legislature act authorized an organization of a township which included Bull’s land and it was through his influence because of his admiration for Washington Irving and his writings the township was called Irving. Bull also tried to get the county seat moved from Hastings to his set­ tlement and so doing stirred up opposition and lasting animosity. Bull resided in a substantial log cabin on the banks of the river. In 1846 Bull was appointed postmaster and opened an office in his home. That same year they had a huge 4th of July celebration held on Bull’s farm. Immigrant settlers and Indians came from many miles around. Under a Burr Oak tree, a bunting draped speakers’ platform was erec­ ted. Calvin G. Hill, another prominent settler, delivered the principal address. Lemonade and lots of food was served to everyone. From a tall pole a LYDIA BULL ALBERT E. BULL large silk flag was unfurled. In the fall of 1846 Mr. Bull married Miss Lydia In 1832, Albert E. Bull, Harvard graduate, Seminole war veteran, lawyer, surveyor and Mass, Shaw, 20, of Valencia, Cass County. He was 38. In capitalist, settled on the southwest comer of Sec. 1856 he erected the large house which was the most pretentious in the county. In the spring of 1838, William and Velorous Ingraham were the second settlers. Their gran­ dfather Amos joined them that summer and com­ plained that all the hardships of the Revolutionary War of 1776 were nothing compared with the fever and chills of Michigan. He was the first one buried in the Irving Cemetery in 1838. Wm. Ingraham converted his home into a tavern. This served as a place to change horses for the stage line started by Herman Knappen of Hastings, who established a route from Battle Creek to Hastings via Irving, then Grand Rapids. I have not found out for sure if this was the Inn in Irving or one that could have been built on State Road. Bull surveyed a road from Hastings to Battle Creek (now M-37); later a state road from Hastings to Irving. TO BE CONTINUED Offer Scholarships in V.F.W.

Will it be four more years of Reagan-Bush, or will the country be led by a Mondale-Ferraro team? Both camps have been courting the voters. Most people have been filled to the brim with TV commercials extolling the candidates' virtues. Most voters have heard just about every nasty thing that can be conjured up by the opposition. Most folks are sick to death with the campaign. Our hope, however, is that we don't let the politicians turn us, the voters, off from the democracy that has made this country great.

A group of historically-minded volunteers from throughout Barry County, Michigan, are taking steps to publish their own book about the history of Barry ounty and all the families within. All current and former residents of Barry County are being asked to be a part of this exciting book project by writing the history of their family and submitting one to two photos to be published in the book. There will be no fee charged having your family history included in the book, says book chairman Mr. Roy Kent, from Hickory Comers, but a fee will be charged of $38.00 for purchasing a copy of the book which goes to press in F ebruary 1985. to be released in the fall of 1985, just in time for Christmas. The book will also include histories of the communities, townships, churches, schools, lan­ dmarks , events, and much more of Barry County. No comprehensive history of Barry County has been written and published since 1885 when a history of Barry and Eaton Counties was published. Residents writing their family histories will be limited to 500 words each and must submit two photos of their family, one of which will be chosen for publication, no later than Feb. 1, 1985. People should keep in mind in their writings that they might like to include why their family settled Barry County, place of residence, interesting tidbits about their childhood, health, trips, brothers, sisters, and unusual experiences; occupations, types of transportation used, etc. The Book Committee also plans to include in the book a memorial section or tribute section for citizens to pur­ chase space to honor or thank a relative and friend if they desire. A special section for businesses past, and present, that have endured in Barry County can also be purchased for space and will be allowed a photo. Several different prices prevail for this section and can be bought in full, half or quarter page sections. The books are to be published by Taylor Publishing of Dallas, Texas, with a heavy binding and high quality of paper. Pages hope to total 400-plus, and a possible honor roll of servicemen and plat maps of townships might be included. In organizing the history book project, a special committee has been set up with representative volunteers from each township in Barry County to help and assist in the writings for families who desire help on their family history. What makes this book unique for Barry County history is that it will be a limited edition and written by the people of Barry County to preserve their history and the county for generations to come. Those serving on the book committee besides Mr. Roy Kent, book chairman, include several of the following people: Joyce Weinbrecht of Hastings, serving as treasurer and sales; Curtis Lawrence of Hickory Corners serving as a Barry Township book representative; Howard Ferris of Hastings, serving as township representative for Rutland; Irving Township is represen­ ted by Leslie and Rosemary Raber, Carlton Twp. representative is Marge Barcroft; Woodland is Tom Neithamer, Yankee Springs, Leo and Beth Verlinde; Orangeville Township Gayle McEnaney; Hope Township George Leonard; Maple Grove Township, Wayne Pen­ nock; Prairieville Township, Barbara Doster; Johnstown Township, Wendell Strickland; Assyria Township Nor­ man and Nyla Stanton; and for Hastings Township Joyce Weinbrecht and Mike Hook. Anyone having questions should contact these people, and if you would like to help contribute with stories and information concerning the writing of these townships, please contact your representative. Public Relations spokesman Mike Hook says sales for the books are already underway with great interest by the people of Barry County, and they haven’t even been written and published yet. If this is the case, then Barry County can look forward to a successful project in preserving its history and families in this non-profit project. “People are remembering stories and events of their lives since this project got underway only a few weeks ago.’’ For more information concerning this historic book project, write the Barry County Book Committee, 3160 South Broadway, Hastings, MI 49058. �The Sun and News, Middleville.

Jerry Steele hit on six of ten pass attempts for 85 yards, rushed for 60 more and added a touchdown. A fired up Mike Newhouse picked up 85 yards rushing, scored a touchdown, ran back a punt for twenty yards, was a team leader in tackles and intercepted a Scot pass. Everyone seemed ready, including the boisterous Trojan fans who had an enthusiastic “Wave” going throughout the game. A typical slow start kept the TK fans somewhat subdued. Caledonia drew first blood, taking advan­ tage of an early Trojan fumble. Middleville’s second possession ended with a punt. Two plays later Greg Lydy smothered a Scot fumble near mid-field and momentum seemed to be gathering for the Trojans. Middleville moved down to the Caledonia 12 but failed to connect on a fourth down pass. Caledonia got the ball back, but deep in their own territory. The maturing TK defense again stopped the Scots cold. The defensive series was highlighted by a Lydy-Caldwell sack. A Caledonia punt ended the fir­ st quarter with the Trojans on the short end of a 7-0 score. The Middleville offense kept up the momentum the defense had started. Chris Gosset zipped for 19 of his 60 rushing yards and put the Trojans at the Caledonia one. Steele plunged in from there and the TK goose egg was off the scoreboard. The PAT was no good so the Scots kept the lead, but now it was only a one point margin 7-6. Caledonia came out hoping to increase their lead, but those hopes were dashed when Greg Newman picked off a Scot pass at the TK nine yard line. The Trojans then put together an outstanding 91 yard drive which in­ cluded a 25 yard pass play to Scott Pritchard. Mike Newhouse picked up 44 of his yards in six carries during the drive, and the series ended with a bullish three yard touchdown run. Steele connected with Pritchard for the PAT and Middleville was on top to stay 14-7. Caledonia’s offense, trying to get some momentum of their own, was soon facing a fourth and two situation near midfield. They called time out to talk things over. Coach Rhines hustled out to his defensive unit. Caledonia decided to go for the two yards and Rhines set his defense. The ensuing duel left Middleville with the ball at the Scot 42. The Trojans then ran out the clock and took their 14-7 lead into halftime. The third quarter was extremely uneventful. Caledonia missed on two field goal attempts and punted once. Middleville punted twice and fumbled to the Scots once. The bright spot of the period came on the last play when Steele broke loose for a 22 yard gainer. The Trojan express kept rolling to start the final quarter. Newhouse got seven yards on a fourth and inches play. Gosset zig zagged for fourteen and TK was quickly at the Caledonia 15. But a holding penalty (the Trojans were only penalized three times) let a little steam out of the offense. A fourth and seventeen try came up short and Caledonia got the ball back at their own 20. Mike Newhouse con­ tinued his show by intercepting a 3rd down pass and had the Scots stopped before they could get going. Starting at Caledonia’s 33, Steele and Newhouse put the icing on the cake. Jerry took the final charge across the goal line and Middleville led 20-7. Caledonia began throwing desperation passes in an effort to catch up. But there was no way, there was no time, there was Middleville. Greg Newman inter­ cepted his second pass of the game as the final seconds ticked off the clock. Congratulations to first year Head Coach Rhines, his staff, and their ‘‘young’' team on continung a Middleville tradition — a winning football program. Wayland comes to Bob White Stadium this Friday for the final contest of the season. Come on out to the ball game and watch the Trojans try to declaw the Wildcats.

The Public Safety Committee determined that the alley alongside Gene and Jo’s shall become one-way, entering such alley from Main Street. This will be ef­ fective at such time as the traffic control signs are received and erected. Planning Commission Chairman Dave Tubergen approached the Council in regard to a joint planning meeting with the Boards of Thomapple and Yankee Springs Townships and a representative of the Southcentral Michigan Planning Council. The Council felt no immediate plans for such a meeting should be made, but the Village Council and Plan­ ning Commission, and the Thornapple Township Board should meet to explore the possibility of working jointly in planning in our immediate area before expanding to another township. Also Mr. Tubergen and Attorney Fisher explained there is a conflict in the Zoning Ordinance in regard to special use permits. Attorney Fisher stated an ordinance amendment could correct this.

Proposal B would give constitutional protection to a fund that has been raided during tight economical times. In 1976, lawmakers created what is known as the Kammer Trust Fund. Royalties and rental income collected by the state from mineral, oil and gas production on state-owned lands were to be placed in the trust. In turn, proceeds could be used only for the purchase of recreational lands. The idea behind this law was that any profit gained from the depletion of valuable natural resources should be used to preserve another precious resource — prime recreational land — for future generations. All too often the Legislature is busy reacting to yesterday’s crisis rather than planning for tomorrow. Despite good intentions, the Kammer Trust Fund has fallen victim to such shortsighted­ ness. Under the 1976 plan, the fund was to grow to a level of $150 million. That amount should have been reached this year so that interest earnings could be used for land purchases. Instead, little more than $8 million now sits in the trust because of numerous legislative raids — totaling $72 million — that oc­ curred during tight economic times, in order to maintain ongoing programs. By giving the Kammer Fund constitutional protection. Proposal B would end the trust’s use as a budgetary cookie jar. Instead, the $200 million of royalties which could accrue to the fund under “B” would have to be spent on the acquisition of recreational land and the development of public recreational facilities. A trust fund board within the Department of Natural Resources would make recommendations for projects to be funded, and the governor would then submit those proposals to the Legislature for approval. Some argue that Proposal B will clutter the Con­ stitution with a program that should be established by law and left to legislative discretion. Supporters note that the Legislature’s sorry track record in handling the Kammer Fund speaks for itself. The main issue which voters will have to decide, however, is whether the purpose of the Kammer Fund is worthy in the first place. Its critics note that despite the legislative raids, nearly $30 million has been spent for the acquisition of 84 recreational tracts totaling 35,000 acres. They argue that state government already owns enough recreational land, which has been taken off local tax rolls. What’s more, additional purchases serve little economic or recreational benefit to citizens because the state does not have sufficient funds to develop and main­ tain existing holdings. Supporters of “B” respond that there is still a great public need for recreational lands near urban areas and additional public access to Michigan’s bountiful lakes and streams. While Proposal B does not address the maintenance problem, use of the trust would be expanded to allow up to 25 percent of annual expenditures for the development of recreational facilities on public lands. Thus local areas would be more likely to benefit economically as well as environmentally. Personally, I plan to vote for “B”. In considering its merits, one need only look as far as the Allegan County shoreline, where Kammer funds are curren­ tly being used to purchase a stunning stretch of Lake Michigan Dunes and Forests. Saugatuck Dunes State Park is but one recent example of the natural heritage Proposal B will enable us to pass on to future generations. In “B” is an opportunity to mend a broken promise. F.

State Representative Controversy Over Proposal C There are two problems in trying to write about Proposal C, also known as “Voters’ Choice.” First, it’s impossible to describe the complexities of the plan, much less all of the arguments for and against, in just a few paragraphs. Second, I must admit my own bias, up front. I wouldn’t be running for re-election as your state representative if I didn’t believe in representative doTnocrficy In my view, that’s what “C” is mainly about. By requiring a vote of the people on all future state or local tax increase proposals, our system of represen­ tative government would be transformed into a direct democracy — a radical change from what our forefathers envisioned. Would that be so bad? Aren’t we as citizens in­ telligent enough to make taxing and spending decisions? In fact, the issue for me is not the lack of common sense or intelligence on the part of the electorate. Instead, it is a lack of information which is necessary to decide complex tax policies. You may recall the “D is Dumb” campaign in 1982, in which millions of dollars were spent on simplistic adver­ tising to describe a complicated utility rate-setting proposal. The result was a great deal of public con­ fusion, and the ability of special interests to influen­ ce voters with expensive media advertising blitzes. Representative government works, if we choose to use our system. We elect lawmakers to evaluate problems, listen to our views and arrive at judgmen­ ts on sometimes difficult questions. If we don't like the decisions our representatives have made, we should change our representatives, not a tried and true Constitution. Supporters of “C” respond that direct voting by citizens on tax hikes will renew faith m government. I wonder. As people require various public services, and local, county and state governments offer proposal after proposal to fund those activities, will citizens participate more or less in the decision­ making process? I hope the level of interest in the average school millage election doesn t provide the answer to that question. If approved. “C” also would result in reduced services provided by local and state governments — at least until voters decided otherwise. Under C , all local and state taxes which have been raised since December 31, 1981, without a vote of the people, would be rolled back. On an annual basis, this would reduce state general fund spending by some $446 million - about an eight percent cut. Aid to education and social services make up about twothirds of the state budget, so those activities would probably bear the brunt of budget reductions. Because 41.6 percent of the state budget is spent on direct assistance to local governments and schools, state cutbacks and the rollback of unvoted local tax increases would also have an impact on local services. A four cent per gallon tax increase would also be rolled back, reducing the nearly $1 billion spent on transportation each year by an estimated $221 million. The repeal of the 10 cent tax on each cigarette package, which is designated to retire the state s long-term, accrued debt, would amount to $300 million annually - and higher state borrowing costs. Finally, the $537 million unemployment tax increase needed to pay back the federal government might be eliminated by “C”, though current state assessments on employers would be replaced by federal taxes with higher interest costs. Still, I believe local and state governments would survive — with some severe problems over the short term. The main question, I believe, is trying to predict what could happen over the long run. One response by lawmakers might be to consider repealing some of the $7 billion in tax credits and exemptions built into existing state tax laws. For example, faced with a choice of severely reducing local school aid or tightening up the “circuit breaker property tax credit - which totals over $600 million in income tax refunds to property tax payers each year — it is possible that existing tax breaks could be reduced. An even greater likelihood would be the everincreasing reliance on local property taxes to con­ tinue government programs. Tax interests which seem to be most acceptable to citizens are those which are directly connected to local services — ser­ vices people can see and appreciate. Therefore, I predict that under “C”, local tax proposals would have a much better chance of passage than statewide tax hikes. Of course this is speculation on my part. But it is based on my belief that Michigan s existing tax structure and the activities presently funded reflect the needs and desires of many Michigan citizens. Assuming those needs wouldn’t disappear if C were to pass, I am betting our state and local gover­ nments would find ways to carry on. The resulting adjustments under “C”, however, might not be what voters thought they were choosing. ELDON NEWMYER. DC.

Main CALEDONIA �Campbell. Worship was held in the school house un­ til 1877 when the present structure, a handsome brick building, was erected at a cost of $3,000. The trustees were Enoch Sylvester, John Texter, Frank Campbell, Harman Wilsox and Wm. Cridler. In 1880 Wm. Cridler was the Sunday School Supt. The church is still standing but is used as a Catholid Church. In the summer of 1844 the first school in Irving was held in a part of a log cabin built by A. E. Bull. Miss Chloe Benson was the first teacher. She later married Albert Warner of Prairieville Twp. Irving Village School was started in February 5, 1870 on the corner of Church and Race St., No. 15 on the map. Nell Gillette Schenkel loaned me a picture of the school. She was too little to attend, but came to be in the picture. Most of the students were her family, Nina Burle, Theresa. Thomas and Nell. Pg. 121 The Sun and Newi, Middleville, Ml / Nov. 1,1984 —-------------- — ' Down Memory Lane WITH NORMA VELDERMAN <___ ____________ > Early Years of Irving (CONTINUED) From the History of Allegan and Barry County: “During the year 1838 there came to Irving Daniel Williamson and his family. In 1842 A. E. Bull, Daniel Williamson and the Ingrahams were the only settlers - not near but distant neighbors. ” Dick Belson and Bill McCann Jr. wrote an article on the History of Irving (a very good article, by the way. If you would like copies, contact Dick or me. he said he’d be glad to share it with you. It costs 15< sheet at the Sun office). In Dick’s article “these men, Moreau and Bull, came to the vicinity of Irving a number of years before the village was established, they actually had no part in founding Irving. That was done by Luther B. Hills.’’ Dick said he’d read it somewhere in Bill McCann’s notes, that Bull had run out of money so the purchasing and platting of the actual village was done by others. Dick is looking for his original notes from McCann. In 1832 L. B. Hills, formerly of New York, settled in Wayne County, Mich., and in 1848 bought six 80acre lots along the south bank of the Thornapple River in the present Irving Village. He let a contract in July of 1849 for the construc­ tion of a dam. By 1851 a water powered sawmill had been erected. Then came Mr. Gibbs, a blacksmith. In 1853 Hills built two buildings intending one to be a chair factory and the other a foundry, using water power. For some reason it didn’t work out. The chair factory had religious meetings in it before it was sold to Asahel Hubbard. In 1854 Hubbard pur* chased one-half interest in the water power and he and Hills converted the chair factory into a grist mill. Hills and Hubbard were the proprietors when Hills disposed of his interest to Jeremiah Hender­ shott. In 1871 Hubbard and Hendershott erected the mill now carried on in Irving (1880) by Gardner and Campbell and Co. It represents upwards of 830,000, contains 5 run of stone. Its capacity is about 150 barrels of flour, daily. Although Hills surveyed, and I imagine platted, Irving, when the water power and the milling in­ terests passed to control of Hubbard, the village BE SURE TO YOH NOV. 6th THE IRVING METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH became known as Hubbardsville. In 1949 there were a few residents who could recall when Irving was called this. According to the Michigan Gazeteer of 1856-7, 1863-4 and 1875, the business directgory of 1881, these were the businesses in operation in Irving on those dates: Post office - first was located at Bull’s home, July 1, 1846 due to the opening of the stage coach route between Battle Creek and Grand Rapids via Hastings. Some other postmasters were: 1847 R. N. Hanna, G. H. Beamer; In 1855 Beamer was suc­ ceeded by L. K. Powers; in 1865 Post Office moved to Irving, Asahel Hubbard appointed postmaster. In 1869 the office passed to F. L. Blake, the general store owner and operator. The pioneer religious service was held by Congregationalists in 1854 by Rev. Waldo. The ser­ vice was conducted in the chair factory. The 13rh of May 1878 Rev. Levi Warren of Grand Rapids preached in the Irving School preparatory to the organization of a Congregational Church. F. L. Blake, G. R. Beamer and A. E. Bull were appointed a committee for an ecclesiastical Council which was done May 25, 1878 with 30 members joining (How could A.E. Bull serve in 1878 - he had been dead sin­ ce 1865. It must be an error. I never heard of a son of Bull’s. Any help anyone?) The church then in use in 1880 was built in 1875 at the cost of $4000. First service was May 20,1878. We can’t find a date for the disbanding and dismantling of the Congregational Church. But we do know from the article in the Sun and News 80th Anniversary Issue in 1950, written by Vere Carter, about the Crescent Lodge of Middleville, “The stone for the foundation and lower part of the structure came from the W. J. Robertson farm located 2 miles east of Middleville in 1909. Stephen J. Carter was living on the farm at the time. Bud Betts was a hired man on the farm. Mr. Robertson, his tenant and hired man, furnished the two teams to help move the material to Middleville. Some of the material came from the Village of Irving.’’ Other accounts say the Congregational Church was dismantled and parts put up in Middleville. Do any of you readers have any pictures of it before it was torn down?, so we could share it with other readers. The church faced Church Street on the corner of Church and Mill (now McCann). Maude and Leona Bennett remember playing in the open basement of the dismantled church, with the pieces of stained glass, which were like jewels to the children. Methodist Episcopal class was organized at Ir­ ving Village in 1868 by Rev. S. P. Hewitt. George Brown was chosen class leader and continued to serve until 1879 when he was replaced by Frank — VOTE — Two story apple dryer RR Depot M.E.

MiddteviHe, Ml I Nov. 1,198419* 13 Prairie Sketches with LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE Since Janette had other commitments this week, so didn’t get news, and my time and mind has been full of the week’s events, think I’ll just use my allot­ ted space this week to pay tribute to our friend Ardyth Park, who left us so very suddenly this week, and who will be missed by so many. Ardie touched many lives in many ways - and I can only relate how she touched mine. My first thought when I learned that Ardyth had passed away was, “Lord, I asked you to lay your hand on her, not grab her...’’ (forgive me, please, and help me accept) Ardie was a driving force in our church bazaar, especially Christmas crafts, and was on the lookout all year, wherever she went, for new ideas. How will we get through Saturday without her? She held many offices in our group, currently secretary, and would always inject her own wry humor into mundane affairs, making everything seem more interesting, more fun. She always went the extra mile. To some, Ardyth was the one you went “garage sale-ing” with. They will miss the joy of the hunt for something different. Maybe that’s how Ardyth got started on her fantastic milk glass collection that inspired me to do the same. Ardie had no sons of her own, but being a farm wife has been ‘mother’ to many young men, and her gift of laughter has, I m sure, endeared her to them. Ardyth was the lubricant that kept many fun­ ctions operating smoothly • whether her family, a committee, a dinner - doing the many things that don’t get glory, but get the job done. She saw beauty all around and could always come up with an appropriate devotion or program she just “happened’’ to come across and had tucked aside. Rest peacefully, Ardyth. We’ll give it our best try to fill in some of the empty spaces. Revival Meetings at Leighton /. REPUBLICAN the.. TEAM Township Candidates SUPERVISOR Donald E.

Ml I Nov. 8,1984 Down Memory Lane WITH NORMA VELDERMAN Recollections of Irving Recollections from Ben and Hazel Nagel, Nell Gillette Schenkel, Dick Belson, Leona Bennett Packer, Maude Bennett Steeby. Thanks to these folks I have been able to reconstruct the businesses, history and people of Irving Village. Cliff Johnson loaned me a picture of John Perry’s steam sawmill between the general store and John Perry ’s home on Oak Street (Irving). Nell, Ben and Hazel, Maude and Leona remember four teachers of the Village school: Maude Teeple, Cornelia Hills, Mabel Mugridge and Perry Sanford who rode his bike back and forth from Middleville every day. Nellie remembers there were about 14 students in school. Nellie was born in a house on a hill on Church Street, then they moved to Maple and Church. Her dad had a beautiful garden across the street. He was the section foreman on the M.C.R.R. They also remembered some of the General Store owners, Tom and Florence Gillette, Jon and Jenny Ten Harkle, Clare and Anna Walson. The last storekeepers were the Bergers On the corner of Irving Road and McCann Rd. (in town it’s Oak Street) Grandpa and Grandma (Charlie and Jane) McCann lived. Right next to them near the road was a big scale to weigh wagon loads of this or that. Ben showed me where it had been. The grass is different there. It was later moved over by the general store but close to the road. Next to McCann’s was a pretty home where Asahel Hubbard had lived. He had the post office in his home until F. L. Blake took it over. Maude and Leona remember the house as having a pretty yellow trim. (Raymonds live there now.) Dick Belson lives south of the M.E. Church. When Ernie Warner, the owner before Belsons, worked as a telegrapher of the M.C.R.R., he needed a home. The now closed two-story apple dryer was owned by the railroad, so they moved it over to (now) Belson s place. It’s the two-story part of his home. South of Irving at the railroad, L.B.Hills had an extensive orchard, running way up to the now M-37. That's where the apples came from to operate the apple dryer across from the depot. Dick showed me where the old inn and stagecoach used to be, on the corner of Oak and Mill Sts. It had a big stable as well as a stagecoach shed. No. 17 on the map. Dick, as most young boys will do climbing and other things he shouldn’t be doing, climbed on the roof of the outhouse, to go through a little locker to get into the stagecoach shed. In there he could play Country Place Beauty Salon CONSOLIDATED REPORT OF CONDITION OF State Bank of Caledonia Owner, Pat Rogers Consolidated Report of Condition of STATE BANK OF CALEDONIA, of Caledonia, Michigan 49316 and Foreign and Domestic Subsidiaries, at the close of business, September 30, 1 984, a state banking institution organized and operating under the banking laws of this State and a mem­ ber of the Federal Reserve System.

In getting out he cut his hand quite badly, still carrying the deep scar. He can also remember Dock Lund’s impatience with his shenanigans. Right directly behind the Inn’s sheds was the barrel factory (No. 6). They were practically back to back. In the business directories, coopers were men­ tioned. This was where they worked. Bill McCann showed Dick where the blacksmith shop used to be on Maple Street in the middle of the block (No. 14.) It was long and narrow and could hold two wagons and teams. I think Dick also said it was one of the first stone forges that Bill McCann ha ever seen. In 1918 Ben Nagel’s dad. James, bought the 190 acres where Ben and Hazel now live. In 1938 the dam was built and would open automatically, so the water had no place to go. so would run into town. He loaned us a picture of Dr. Lund driving through the flood with water over the running board. During this same flood, Ben put on his boots to carry his kids to the school bus. Ben shared his picture of the cheese factory, later used as a community hall (No. 9). He also had a dandy picture of the General Store (No. 10). Maude and Rudy Steeby gave me a tour of as many homes and people as Maude could remember. John and Bessie Perry lived east of the General Store on Oak Street. They had a daughter. Avis Sanstall who lives in Reed City. She graduated from Middleville Union School in 1924 and was a teacher. Next house was Rider s with a large family. On the corner of Mill and Oak Street (No. 17) was the old Inn. Dr. Taylor set up his practice in part of it. The Garfields, as well as Dudley Kennedy ’s mom lived there. Maude thought Mrs. Lumpson used to live on the Southeast comer of Race and Oak. Next to them was Mrs. Benton, an elderly widow and Chubb’s next with several children. In the triangle of Church and Irving Roads lived David Lake, a bachelor. He later moved to Middleville and was crossing guard for the M.C.R.R., which had nu gates. On Church St. near the triangle Damoth’s lived. Children were Arnold, Laverne and a daughter. They moved to Middleville in 1914. If you go west out of Irving towards Middleville, cross the bridge and go up the hill, Dean’s lived in the first house. Sons were Earl (now deceased) and Glen, who married Leone Potts. They live in Middleville. The second house was the Ropers with two daughters, Lavina and Bessie. Then going east out of Irving along the river on Irving Road, Maude said the first farm used to be the Chase’s farm. They had a son Keith. Next was an elderly couple who raised sheep. Because of the closeness of their home to the railroad, the transients and the gypsies, they later moved into Irving into the cheese factory where they felt more secure. Next, was the Harry Bennett farm, now Stony Acres. Much to our surprise, when Maude and I stopped and got out to talk with the owners, it tur­ ned out to be Gaye Marble Patterson. Her husband then showed us the spring which used to run into a wooden barrel beside Harry’s barn. Mr. Patterson had made a small pond, but the spring outlet still ran under the ground to the river. Maude said Jessie, who was taller and older, used to get into the barrel and walk around the edge, holding on to the side. It looked easy and like fun to Maude, so when no one was around got it and star­ ted to go straight across. The wooden bottom of the barrel was slippery. When Maude was going down for the third time, Jessie, who had heard her scream, came and pulled her out. Harry Bennett would go out with his threshing crew for a week at a time. Mrs. Bennett and the four children were left alone. Because of the closeness to the railroad they were bothered a lot with tramps. She was afraid to stay alone so many times they went into Irving and stayed with Clare and Ann Wat­ son and their children above the store. Both Maude and Leona have fond memories of the Watson family. Clare was always so full of fun and pulling jokes. He would let them ride with him in his light­ weight. low sided, one seater wagon when he had to meet the trains and pick things up.

Twen­ ty girls signed up and competed in this year s program that started September 17 under the direc­ tion of Jeanne Perry. Teams were formed and games were played during halftime at both junior high and high school girls basketball games. Another highlight was the Mother-Daughter game played on October 23 with -he final score: Mothers 18 • Daughters 22. Coach Perry feels that there is a lot of talent on the sixth grade teams and hopes that all the players will continue to be a part of the fin Middleville Girls Basketball program. 8th Graders Basketball The Trojan 8th grade girls basketball team moved into the finals of the OK Blue Junior High tournament on October 29 with a 25-22 win over Hamilton. The Trojans opened the game fast for the first time this season and roared to a 10-2 first quarter lead. It looked as though the Trojans were going to put the game away, but Hamilton fought back and outscored TK in the second quarter 10-8 but still trailed at halftime 12-18. The second half almost turned into disaster as the Trojans went cold and got into foul trouble. With 2 starters sitting out because of fouls, the Trojans were outscored 8-4 by Hamilton. They went into the fourth quarter still holding a slim 22-20 lead. The Trojan bench came through and helped to hold Hamilton to just 2 poin­ ts in the fourth quarter. An important basket by Martha Funk and a critical free throw by Lisa Dugan in the closing seconds put the Trojans up by 3 points and sealed the game. Leading the scoring was Martha Funk 10 points, Lisa Dugan 7, Pam Eaglan 4, Sharia Raab 4. Lose in Finals to Scots The 8th grade basketball team lost to a tough un­ defeated Caledonia team in the finals of the OK Blue tournament 36-13. The Trojans were cold from the start of the game as Caledonia jumped to a 8-2 first quarter lead, which they increased to 20-8 by half­ time. The Trojans never gave up and tried to make a come-back as the third quarter progressed, but Caledonia ended it by scoring 10 unanswered points to move to a 34-11 fourth quarter lead. The Trojan bench played the entire fourth quarter to finish the game. Scoring for the Trojans were Martha Funk 4, Eaglen 2, Wyatt, Groves, Raab 2, and Elies 1. Also playing good games were McLain, Dussia, Dugan and Gulch. The Trojans finished in second place in the tour­ nament an received a nice trophy for their efforts. The team ended the season at 6-6, even without the services of one of its starting forwards for most of the season. Congratulations on a fine season and good luck next year. Coach Wyatt would like to add a personal thanks for all the hard work and good at­ titudes of all the players during the year. JV's Split Games The TK Giris JV basketball team split their games this past week, defeating Comstock Park in a very close game by the score of 36-35 and losing to a good and tall Godwin team by the score of 38-25. A single free throw more meant victory against Cornstock Park as the two teams made the same number of field goals. High scorer for TK was Trena Yonkers with 15 points. Adding to the victory total were Missy Moretti with 7. Shelly Gray 6, Missy Jorgensen 4. and Heather Hannapel and Heather Perry’ with two apiece.

Wildcats Go At Trojans In 24-8 Win BY MIKE BREMER I would like to take this opening opportunity to thank the Middleville Varsity team for having a winning season. Their 6-3 record has made my job twice as easy as it might have been. Losses are such a headache to write. Congratulations on a successful season. A second place league finish is an impressive conclusion for a new head coach and a “young" team with a lower pre-season ranking. The Trojans took it on the chin, 24-8, last Friday when the Wildcats from Wayland came to town. The Wildcats ripped the ball from Trojan hands five times and converted two of those fumbles into touchdowns. Wayland’s first score came with just 50 seconds left in the opening period, and they never trailed. In the second quarter, the incomplete pass was TK’s undoing. Following Wayland's second touch­ down, the Trojan defense stiffened. Sacks by Brad Barnard, Bob Caldwell, and a heavy duty team sack led to two Wayland punts and a stalled Wildcat of­ fense. The half ended 12-0, Wayland. The TK defense stayed strong for the third period, as did the offense. A 50-yard drive ended on a missed 4th and 5 try. The defense, however, decided that to get inside the 10 and not score was in­ tolerable. Mike Wiley wrested the ball away and Dave Finkbeiner recovered it on the 14 of Wayland. A great play fake up the middle by Jerry Steele had the Wildcats chasing their tails trying to find the ball. Jerry had it in the endzone. Mike Blair carried in the PAT and the Wayland lead was cut to 12-8. That was how the quarter ended. Wayland roared right back though and scored on their opening series in the final period. Middleville fumbled away both of their possessions in the fourth quarter, and the Wildcats put one of those in the en­ dzone. The Trojan highlight came in the closing seconds as Steele broke loose for a 21 yard gain. But it was too little, much too late. Wayland went home a 24-8 victor. And speaking of going home ... it was extremely disappointing to see 90% of the home crowd gone before the game was over. Those were Middleville football fans? Congratulations once again to Keith Rhines, Skip Pranger and all those who make the football season a success. Also thanks to the Trojan bands for doing such an outstanding job again this year. TK's Oosterhouse Important Link in Hope College's Year Brian Oosterhouse Senior Brian Oosterhouse and the Hope College Flying Dutchmen football team ended their season with a 9-C record. They shut out Olivet College on Saturday with a 55-C score. This gave them the M.I.A.A. league championship. This is the only team in the 80-year history of Hope College that came out with a perfect season. Many other records were broken this season. Senior Greg Heeres, the quarterback, set an N.C.A.A. record as the most efficient passer in the history of Division III. Greg completed 347 of 630 passes for 5120 yards and 53 touchdowns. Senior fullback Mike Sturm finished the season with a school record 86 points and 11 touchdowns. Brian finished his career with 10 touchdowns, set­ ting a school record for the most touchdown recep­ tions in a season. The former record was 9 made in 1983. Every school record was broken by this team but one. and that was most pass receptions caught in a season. The record is 38 and Brian caught 36. Hope is hoping for a playoff spot but won’t know until next Monday. The two schools ahead of them each have another game on Saturday. They are Augustana, Ill., which is No. 1 and has an 8-0 record, and Dayton, Ohio, with a 9-0 and No. 4. Hope is No. 8. Brian started his football career right here in Middleville in the little league program. He played his high school years at TK and was All State in his senior year. That team also went 9-0 and a chance to the playoffs, winning one game. Brian played football all four years at Hope and was a starter the last two. He lettered two years. Brian is a business major and will graduate in May, 1985. J——— LARRY KOPEN ELECTRIC !

This fascinating book will only be complete with your help! If you are presently living in, or have previously lived in Barry County, we need and want your family history! Families throughout Barry County are writing about their household, their parents and grandparents. There has not been a comprehensive history of Barry County written since the Eaton/Barry County publication in 1 885. Think of all that has happened in the last 100 years. If we don't take the time to write it down now, it will be distorted and forgotten in a very short time. When writing the history of your family, the committee suggests you give the county and state from which your family came, the approximate date, and the area of Barry County where the family set­ tled. Tell about what is interesting and meaningful to you! Your job, hobbies, group affiliations and schools attended. In 500 words or less, write down what you would like future generations to know about you. Join the Barry County Book Com­ mittee for a Family History Writing Workshop on November 1 5, 7:30 p.m. at the Hastings High School Lecture Hall, South Street, Hastings.

Participates in 4-H Production Project JoHanna Steiner of Middleville has been selected to raise a Standardbred foal for one year as part of the Michigan 4-H Standardbred Horse Production Project. She is ne of 18 Michigan 4-H members selected to participate in the 1984-85 production project. Qualified 4-Hers were chosen by the 4-H Standardbred Advisory Committee. She will raise the foal, which was bom last spring, until August of 1985 and then will sell the horse at a special Standardbred auction. Steiner will receive one-third of the sale price after expenses, with the remainder going to the breeder who donated the foal. “The project gives 4-H’ers an opportunity to learn the responsibility that comes with caring for a hor­ se,” says Kathy A. Walters, Barry County Exten­ sion 4-H youth agent. “A unique aspect of the Stan­ dardbred project is that it also gives young people a rare opportunity to learn about the econonics and career possibilities in the harness racing industry.” Steiner will participate in a number of programs throughout the year through the cooperation of the Michigan Harness Horseman’s Association and Michigan Standardbred Breeders’ Association. She will attend meetings on horse care, visit breeding and training facilities, and participate in a workshop on preparing the yearling for sale. JoHannah is the daughter of Bruce and Holly Steiner of Bowens Mill Road, and a junior at Thornapple Kellogg High School. �The Sun and News. Middleville.

They are inundated with ad­ vice from media advertising and helpful friends and family, and sometimes it gets confusing. One thing to consider when making your choice is what effect your decision will have on the environment. Home laundered cloth diapers are the least expen­ sive and the most environmentally sound alter* native. Diaper service, although most expensive, may be the choice of extra busy parents and those employed outside the home because of the con* venience they offer. Like home laundered diapers, these diapers are used again and again and so do not add to the disposal problem. According to a Co-Operative Extension bulletin, by the time a baby is 2.5 years old, more than 13,000 diaper changes have been made and end up in the landfill. The use of thirteen billion synthetic diapers contributes 556,000 tons of nonbiodegradeable plastic and 140,000 tons of raw sewage to the waste stream annually. Not only is the diaper made of paper which when used once and thrown away is a waste of a valuable resource, the plastic portion of the diaper creates a serious waste dilemma. Left on its own in a landfill the plastic will remain in­ definitely. Due to economics or a higher environmental con­ sciousness the trend toward cotton re-usable diapers is up. Cloth diaper sales have gone up and diaper service increased 11% in 1982. Protect your en­ vironment and teach your child to respect it as well by using cloth diapers for a more natural, cost effec­ tive and environmentally sound alternative. Remember to take all of your clean glass as well as your clean, flattened tin cans (label removed from cans) and aluminum (foil, etc.) to your local recycling site. Labels do not have to be removed from glass. Glass must be separated by color and tin cans separated from aluminum and placed in appropriate bin or barrel. Recycling sites are located at Caledonia Foods parking lot on M-37, behind Middle Mart Party Store on M37 in Middleville and in the Hastings fire station parking lot on Mill and Michigan. Used oil can be recycled at any service station displaying the black and yellow sign “Recycle used oil here.” Call 795-7897 for more information.

MI 49053 ON THE INSIDE THIS WEEK NEWS OF YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORS 5 comp The Sun and News Your Hometown Newspaper Serving Middleville and Caledonia 114th YEAR • TWENTY CENTS NO. 46 • NOVEMBER 15,1984 MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 An Editorial by Don Boysen Middleville's Do wn to wn Fu tore ? AT THE RISK OF “jumping the gun,” we would like to offer some com­ ments this week on the survey that the Village Planning Commission is con­ ducting concerning the Middleville socalled “downtown business district.” First of all, the downtown area has undergone a tremendous change through the past 30 years due to a number of factors: 1. Fire destroyed two old structures, most notably the restored hotel that was on its way to anchoring the down­ town area at the time of its demise. 2. The old mill became a defunct business place and an ever-increasing eyesore. Unfortunately it could not be restored, even for a re-modeled use. 3. The biggest factor in the downfall of the downtown area has been the re­ location of the bank and the post office. When the bank moved to its new, larger quarters on the north side of town on M37, it left a large void in the old business district. No longer was it necessary to “come downtown to do your banking.” And, when people came to town to do their banking, they stopped at other retail stores. Next to go was the post of­ fice. Same thing; no need to go down­ town to mail (or get) your letters and packages. These changes have greatly influen­ ced what has happened to the remaining stores and shops. Gradually the retail stores have given way to service shops. When you look at the present “down­ town” area, there are only about a half dozen bonafide retail stores left. Parking has always been a problem in the downtown area and it has always been complicated by the hill on which it was built. Offstreet parking was never a priority, and when the village changed Main Street itself to parallel parking it eliminated even more parking spaces. This is quite a litany of the many things “wrong” with Middleville’s downtown business area. There are some pluses, however: 1. Real estate in the downtown area is relatively cheap. Therefore, the cost of doing business at the present time is not as great for the business places as it would be if they were located in a modern "mall” setting. 2. Accessibility is good now that trafCONTINUED ON PAGE TWO “You Start With Your Basic Pumpkin, and Then ..

ChUSCH S.T8FFT �Pg. 2 I The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I Nov. 15,1984 Downtown Future? CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE fic is not tied up with long term parking. Years ago when parking was at a real premium, some of the folks who worked in the downtown area were forced to take parking spaces that should have been saved for shoppers. 3. By and large, most of the owners of the real estate in the downtown area have done a pretty good job of keeping their storefronts looking fresh. At the present time all of the stores are filled and we at least give the appearance of “doing business.” It's quite easy to simply dismiss the downtown area as being beyond redem­ ption. It is our feeling that it will probably never return to the days of a central business district any more than we will return to the horse and buggy. Because the auto has made us mobile, so has it Iso been a contributor to the downtown’s demise. We can jump in our car and go just about anywhere to buy just about anything in just a few short minutes. It only takes 20 minutes to be right in the middle of the biggest retail shopping malls in the state. But, there are some things we would like to see happen in Middleville’s historic downtown area that will take the cooperation of everyone concerned: Village and township residents, business people and the local governing bodies. Next week we’ll talk about those ideas.

Federal Tax Collections The good news: federal tax collections from the 1983-84 fiscal year were lower than those from 198283. The bad news: Michigan’s tax collections for the same period were up — even more than the federal taxes were down. In a recently-released report, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that for the first time in 12 years, federal tax revenues declined. Between the years 1982 and 1983, federal tax income went down 5.9 percent. Asa result of President Reagan's 1981 tax cuts, personal income tax revenues were down 3.1 per­ cent. Total tax revenues of $665 billion for 1983 reflec­ ted a reduction from the 1982 tax collection level of $671 billion. Those amounts translated to a perperson contribution of $2,963.73 in 1982, which ELDON NEWMYER, D C. CHIROPRACTOR M-W-F 9-12 Noon ;2-7 p.m. PHONE 795-7096 127 East Main Street / Downtown Middleville fi declined to $2,845.38 in 1983. Closer to home, however, Michiganians paid more taxes. From the 1982 fiscal year, total tax revenues increased 13.2 percent. That figure, representing $775 million, is considerably more than the 5.9 per­ cent by which federal revenues decreased. The Cen­ sus Bureau report also showed that state tax revenues across the country only went up 5.9 per­ cent, which was the smallest increase in 25 years and is the same amount that federal tax collections went down. Our increase is more than twice that amount. In addition, personal income tax revenues and corporate tax collections throughout the nation rose only 5.5 percent. During the fiscal year 1982-83 period, Michigan's personal income tax revenues rose 23.3 percent. It is true that Michigan experienced financial dif­ ficulties in the last several years that required some additional revenues. However, it doesn’t seem right that other states' increaaes in tax revenues closely parallel the reductions made at the federal level, while Michigan's increases in personal taxes are so large. As we prepare for the beginning of the budget process early next year, let’s hope that Governor Blanchard keeps these figures in mind and makes suggestions that will bring our state closer to national levels._______________ ORDEandOCHRISTMAS GIFTS!

November 12, they nipped Maple Valley in overtime 49-45. These two victories raised their overall record to 12 wins and 6 losses, while the win over Byron Center kept the Trojans tied for third place with a 7-5 record. In the Byron Center game, Kim Koetsier led the Lady Trojans with 20 points, while Karmen Gray chipped in 14 and Brenda Page and Monique Weesie led the way in the rebounding department with 22 and 13 respectively. At Maple Valley the TK girls battled from behind during the first three quarters and finally overcame the Lions in a very exciting overtime game. M. Weesie played the finest game of the year by scoring 8 second half points and hauling down 15 rebounds. Koetsier again led the Trojans in scoring with 15 points while Dawn Bos played another exceptional floor game with 9 steals in addition to chipping in 10 points. Page retained her league lead in rebounds, hauling down 16.

The girls started off very well against Hamilton and continued their fine play all through the game. Shelly Gray, scoring her highest, had 15 points; Trena Yonkers 10, Kim Belson added 6, and Missy Moretti, Linda Wetherbee and Heather Hannapel had 2 apiece. Basketball is a crazy game. The girls scored two points in the first quarter against Byron Center and 13 points in the second. Very good free throw shooting by the Trojan gals was the difference, as both teams made the same number of field goals. TK made 12 of 17 from the line to gain the victory. Trena Yonkers scored 15 points. Gray 10, Moretti 9 and Hannapel had 4.

CHURCH STREET Hostings, Michigan 49058 The Sun and Necos Your Hometown Newspaper Serving Middleville and Caledonia 114th YEAR • TWENTY CENTS An Editorial by Don Boysen Middleville's Downtown Future? Last week in this column we discussed what has become of the Mid­ dleville downtown business area. Over the years the character of the business district has changed due to several fac tors: Businesses were re-located elsewhere in the village; fires destroyed some of the old buildings, and parking was never really solved by the village or the merchants. As we said last week, service businesses seem to have taken over in the downtown area and this is probably where it will go in the future. Without an anchor store (or stores) such as a grocery, bank or other “drawing” stores, the downtown area seems destined to stay a service center. What are the possibilities for the future? Several come to mind and please keep in your mind, these are simply ideas at this time. Much more thought and collective input is needed before decisions should be made. THE THORNAPPLE RIVER. The biggest asset this community has for its downtown area is the river that flows through it. With the repair of the dam. the backwaters should once again be a beauty spot of the town. The river should figure prominently in the re­ vitalization of Downtown Middleville. VILLAGE SERVICES. At the present time the Village of Middleville CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 NO. 47 ♦ NOVEMBER 22,1984 Middleville President Robert Sullivan, Dies Middleville Village President Robert W. Sullivan, 62, died unexpectedly Friday morning, November 16, an apparent heart attack victim. Mr. Sullivan, although not in good health, had been active in the business of the Village and assisting his son at his variety store in Grand Rapids at the time of his death. Born on April 19, 1922, Mr. Sullivan married Patricia E. Bolhuis on May 25, 1946. He was a S/Sgt. in the U.S. Army from 1942 through 1945. He was a member of Holy Family Church in Caledonia. For many years Mr. Sullivan was an Xray technician at St. Mary ’s and Blodgett Hospitals in Grand Rapids. President Sullivan had a long history of civic in­ volvement in Middleville and the county. He was a village councilman in the 50 s and 60 s and became the first administrator of the Barry County Zoning office. He returned to the Village Council in the late 70’s and became Village President when H. Bud’ Sum­ mers died in office in May of 1979. He was elected to the office in 1980, 1982 and again this year. Surviving are his wife Patricia E.; one son, Steven C. Sullivan of Grand Rapids; two daughters, Mrs. Bruce (Joan M.) Finkbeiner, Miss Linda S. Sullivan, both of Middleville; four grandchildren; two This photo was taken of Bob at the recent Sesqui centennial Cele­ bration, as he was dressed in costume. brothers, Edward J. of Grand Rapids, Bernard L. of Kalamazoo; four sisters, Mrs. Samuel (Monica) Johnston, Mrs. Dan (Kathryn) McDonald, Mrs. Patricia Walters, Mrs. Keith (Margie) Pierson, all of Grand Rapids; many nieces and nephews. Funeral Mass was offered Monday morning at Holy Family Church, Rev. Fr. Donald Heydens of­ ficiating. Gravesite services at Mt. Hope Cemetery in Middleville were under the auspices of the V.F.W.. Post 7548. Contributions in memory of Mr. Sullivan may be made to the American Diabetes Association. Funeral arrangements were by the Beeler Funeral Home, Middleville. “Christmas Past" at Charlton Park Enjoy the spirit and tradition “Of Christmas Past ... ’’ at Historic Charlton Park Village and Museum. Imagine Christmas as it was nearly 100 years ago when families gathered in the parlor to read Moore’s A Visit from St. Nicholas’’ and Dickens' A Christmas Carol, worked on presents late at night and behind closed doors, and decorating the tree was a major event. On December 8-9 and again on December 15-16, history comes to life with holiday activities begin­ ning at noon and ending at 5:00 each afternoon. Admission is 62.00 for adults, 50< for students aged 5-15, and free for children under 5. Like the family at the turn of the century, visitors will be able to participate in this look at another era by helping to decorate the tree with their hand­ dipped candles, ornaments, and popcorn and cran­ berries they’ve strung. Volunteer staff members will be available to provide supervision and instruction. Homemade cookies, coffee, and hot mulled cider will be served in the town’s residences and shops. In ad­ dition, several crafts, such as making herb wreaths and tole painting, will be demonstrated. Each day of the celebration a different tree and house will be decorated by visitors and staff.

We should keep governmen­ tal offices in this central part of the community and any expansion should be made there. With this in mind, perhaps the village and the township (of Thornapple) should be co-operatively thinking in terms of joining together in some kind of municipal facility that could be constructed in the downtown area. At the present time, the village main­ tains four buildings that house the Department of Public Works, the Village offices (the old bank), a Com­ munity Hall and Police Station (the old Baptist Church) and the Fire Depar­ tment on High Street. Cost studies should be made to determine if all these facilities could be consolidated into one efficient building. At the present time all of the officers of the township operate from their businesses or homes. Is it time these should be consolidated into one facility? Land acquisition in the downtown area could probably be accomplished without too much problem, given the general decline of the condition and value of some of these buildings. We would like the Planning Com­ mission to truly consider this proposal for the future of Middleville’s down­ town area. It is an alternative that could revitalize Middleville! Order Alleyway One Way Traffic By order of the Village of Middleville Council, outbound traffic via the alleyway from the parking lot behind the downtown Village Hall is now prohibited. Only southbound traffic will be permitted, with outbound vehicles required to use High Street. Village Manager Kit Roon stated that accidents have been reported at the intersection of the alleyway and Main Street.

Subsequent research by more than a dozen different laboratories has confirmed that “airtight" woodstoves emit larger amounts of carbon monoxide, partic­ ulates, and unburned hydrocarbons than do old-fashioned woodburners. But the impor­ tance of the Monsanto team s discovery of significant amounts of "polycyclic organic matter," or POM (sometimes called "polycy­ clic aromatic hydrocarbons," or PAH, many of which are known carcinogens), in smoke is only beginning to be understood. And per­ haps the least understood of the woodburn­ ing-related pollution problems came to light with the discovery by a Geomet Technologies team that many woodstove-equipped homes have indoor levels of carbon monoxide, breathable particulates, and members of the POM family that are more than ten times greater than outdoor measurements taken at the same time. There is a positive side to our recent wood­ stove emissions research, however. We've learned more about the physics of combus­ tion in the last few years than in all the years since humankind discovered fire. In turn, new stove designs and aftermarket products are rapidly being developed co deal with already recognized pollution problems In addition, a wealth of information concerning how a woodstove owner can operate his or her stove in a cleaner fashion has recently become available. Here are five proven ways that can clear the air Rule 1: Use the largest-diameter logs that will burn effectively. Big pieces of wood have less surface area per unit of vohime which prevents them from releasing volatiles too rapidly. This has been recognized as the single moat afleclive operator technique for reducing emissions. Rule 2: Build as small a fire as is practical. A stuffed firebox often leads to areas of pyrolysis (the release of volatile gases trapped in the struct ere of the fuelt and or char­ ring that can t be reached by an adequate air supply Therefore, use as few of the large pieces of wood as you can while producing adequate heat Rule 3: Keep the fire hot. Position the logs in your stove so that air can move through the fire zone, and be sure there s sufficient draft opening Since you're already trying to make the fire as small as possible, you can maintain high temperatures inside the stove without overheating your home. Rule 4: Don't increase or decrease the draft setting drastically Pyrolysis continues for some time after the air supply has been cut back, so slamming the damper shut can send much of your hard won fuel up the chimney On the other hand, rapid opening of the damper can carry the pyrolytic products away from the fire too quickly, especial­ ly if there's a significant wind-induced draft Rule 5: Avoid excessively wet or dry wood Logs that are too dry pyroiyze very quickly, overloading the combustion zone with volatile gases, while very moist timbers can in­ hibit effective combustion by absorbing heat for evaporation �The Sun and Nwn.

Rolfe, and four other West Michigan golfers gained five out of the eight spots on the Class C team. Other area golfers to gain All State honors were Steve Ritsma from South Christian, Gabe Marshall from Calvin Christian, Tom Johnson from Belding and Joe Martinez from Kent City. During the past golf season Timmerman was medalist in fifteen of the seventeen matches that TK played. He averaged 38.18 in all matches which broke the school record he established last year. His overall average for all rounds was 37.6. In league play he averaged 38.25. In all but three matches, in which he shot a 40 each time, Rolfe shot in the 30’s. During the past golf season. Rolfe played in five 18hole tournaments. His average for those five tour­ naments was 76. He finished first in the conference meet with a 75 (48 golfers), first in the Forest Hills Northern Summer Classic with a 74 (140 golfers), second in the Kent City Tournament with a 74 (150 golfers), sixth in the Forest Hills Northern Fall Classic with a 76 (90 golfers), and sixth in the Regionals with an 81 (95 golfers). Rolfe closed out a brilliant golf career with a brilliant season. He has established himself as the best golfer in Middleville history. At the present time he is undecided as to his future plans, although he is planning on pursuing a college degree and con­ tinuing his golf career while at college. Sports Named All Conference Brian Oosterhouse of Caledonia, a senior at Hope College, wide receiver on Hope’s football team this year, joined his team mates in being selected to the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) All Conference Team. Brian was in­ strumental in Hope gaining a record 448 offensive yards in this year’s season. Junior Varsity Downs Lions and Rockets The TK JV girls basketball team won their last two games played on the opponent’s court. They traveled first to Maple Valley and won by the score of 42-28 and then traveled to Kelloggsville to gain a victory by the narrow margin of 33-30. Against the Maple Valley Lions, the girls were behind after the first quarter 12-11. They turned the game around by outscoring the Lions 13-3 in the next quarter. All the girls gave their top effort into this victory. High point person was Shelly Gray with 14, followed by Missy Moretti and Trena Yonkers with 7 apiece, Kim Belson and Heather Hannapel with 6 apiece and Debbie Hooper with 2. In a very close game, the Trojans had to have one of their famous come-backs to nip the Rockets 3330. The young Trojans were behind by two going in­ to the fourth quarter, but outscored the Rockets 105 to gain a well-earned victory. High scorers were Jenni Frey and Belson with 7 points each, Gray 6, Hannapel 5, Moretti 4, and Missy Jorgensen and Heather Perry with 2 apiece. The wins improved the JV record to 10-3 in the league and 15-4 overall. As we pause to reflect upon the symbolic meaning behind the traditional Thanksgiving feast we give thanks for the bounties of the past year. We are grateful for your patronage, and we hope you ve had a pleasant and prosperous year. diiv iBank Offices in Hostings ond Middleville �Pg. 4 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I Nov. 22,1984 Mary Good and Harriet Steinfort had breakfast out Saturday then attended a bazaar in Middleville.

BY DICK POSTHUMUS, 31st District State Senator New Legislation Proposed for Food Stamp Distribution before contracting with agencies to distribute food stamps. Although some areas do receive a contract with the state after competitive bidding, most distributors (such as the post office) are not required to bid in a competitive arena. And those high tran­ saction costs are driving up the overall cost of the program. Another major cost savings built into the proposed plan is a reduction in state liability for losses and theft. Those who are awarded the bids will be required to take out an insurance policy on the value of the food stamps they handle. Currently, the state loses about $500,000 a year in lost, destroyed, embezzled and stolen food stamps. The recipients, too, benefit from this bill. Any XL THE agency awarded a distributorship contract must provide a site that is barrier-free and accessible to the handicapped. The location must also be within 1000 feet of a bus route or other public transpor­ M-37 in MIDDLEVILLE tation line. Distributors must also provide security ACROSS FROM CRYSTAL FLASH measures, operate within local health, building and zoning ordinances, and keep the site open not less than 160 hours per month. In addition, to protect recipients against price gouging, no distributor will be allowed to maintain a financial or business relationship with a retail food establishment. Each $.10 reduction in the average state cost will save the state nearly $500,000 annually. For that kind of money, and for improved distribution cen­ LIVE WREATHS A ROPING ters, we cannot afford to let this legislation A little known fact about the food stamp program is that the agencies distributing them make money. The post office, for example, charges the state $1.72 for every transaction they handle. Some distributors, like community action agencies, charge $1.10, while other charge only 79 cents per transaction. Legislation has been introduced in the Michigan Senate that would build competition into the system and save Michigan taxpayers a million dollars per year. SB 862, passed by the Senate and now before the House Social Services and Youth Committee, would require that the state accept bids IKHWACKER FRESH CUT CHRISTMAS TREES 13" & 16" The Sun and News.

Roger Timmerman, Pastor/Ph. 795-3667 PEACE REFORMED I spent Friday starting on my “Christmas looking”. That usually takes more time than the ac­ tual shopping. But my buying seems to be tempered not only by quantity of money to be spent, but by the number of pictures of starving people we have seen in the papers and on TV recently. I see folks with two carts of toys and wonder how any of us can spend the amounts we do on mostly unnecessary things while so much of the world goes hungry. What a way to celebrate Jesus’ birthday — and we continue to do it! Alice Steiner spent Sunday with Emily VanMatre and Holly Steiner at a doll show in Lansing. Sharon Becker says life continues to be “quiet" and they plan on having Thanksgiving with her folks. .. And so we come to Thanksgiving. We look for­ ward with joy to having family and friends around us. We will miss the absent ones, but know they will be sharing with their other families and friends. We had a sermon Sunday on “Thanks-Living” just to remind us that there are 364 other days in the year when we should also be thankful for family, friends and all other gifts. I would just like to add to that.. wouldn’t it be a nicer world if we each lived our days so that others could be thankful for us! Enough sermonizing! Have a good holiday, and please drive carefully. Northwest Thornapple with HAZEL LUND Myrtle and Maurice Freeman of Caledonia and Esther and John Kelley just returned from Eau Claire, Wisconsin where they attended the funeral of an aunt, then down to Rochester.

The Living Science Foundation of Ceresco, Michigan, presented a "bringing science to life” to each of the classrooms at McFall. The “living" por­ tion of the presentation included several colorful parrots, a friendly boa constrictor, an Amazon toad the size of a dinner plate, as well as several other smaller creatures. The Foundation was established to provide students, preschool through high school, a hands on opportunity to see science in action. Instructors choose from twenty-five presentations offered by Living Science Foundation. Interpreters then provide a learning unit in which pre and post visit materials and the “hands on" experience are utilized. If your child came home with reports of “Charlie”, a huge green parrot, perched on his or her arm, or a boa constrictor wrapped around his or her neck, perhaps they weren't telling tall tales.

It is not perfect, mind you, but eminently passable, and just ‘distressed’ enough that it fits in­ to the room like it’s always been there. I love it • and can list many things that a first woodshop project can teach!

Emma Silva, Grand Rapids now K&K Trailer Park, spent Tuesday with us. Wednesday evening we enjoyed cards with Walter and Lou Meyers. We left home Friday with rather cold weather. Called on Milton Kermeen before taking off for Route 69 at Bellevue. Windy and cold, but beautiful sunshine. We reached Rt. 65 at 4:30 and spent the night at Scottsburg, Ind. 317 miles today.

Local, because her mother. Nora Huggett, was raised on the west side of Barlow Lake. Their home was near the corner of Payne Lake Road and (now) Damoth Rd. Edna Lewis said Damoth Rd. used to always be called a jog in Bowens Mill Road. I want to check further to see why and when it was changed to Damoth. Ac­ cording to the 1873 Barry County Platte Map that you folks have so generously loaned me. J. Damoth owned an 80 acre farm on the corner of Briggs or Bass Road and Payne Lake Road. Maybe his heirs extended their holdings to near that intersection of Payne Lake Road and the then Bowens Mills Road. Any of you folks know when or why it was changed to Damoth Rd ? I’ll sure appreciate your help. Back to Mabel Ives. She said she couldn’t remem­ ber much about her mother’s side of the family. Like most of us, things escape our recall as we get older. But Fred Matteson said his sister, Ruth Schad, held the "cousin” reunion every year from shortly after her marriage until the last couple years of her life when Betty Matteson Newman held them for her. And Mabel Ives attended most of the annual "cousin” reunions. I think it’s nice to read these articles on our senior citizens, and nicer yet when we can connect our local history into this recalling of their lives. There’s a continuity or flow that shows how it really is a small world. Mabel Ives’ mom, Nora, and Fred Matteson’s mom, Caroline, were sisters and they grew up on their folks' farm near Bowens Mill. Now back to my news column. We Veldermans had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Not all the youngsters came home. Mary, who is living in Oregon, and Jana, who lives in Victoria, B.C., Canada, didn’t make it. But all the others did. Pat and wife Helaine, and her mom from New Jersey were picked up by Dave at Detroit airport, and they picked Cay up at Lansing. So we had a nice group. I guess this is what Thanksgiving is all about, being thankful for our families and friends and our very rich lives — not rich materially, but rich in our love shared. I love family get togethers. Doug and Liz Hart and family had Thanksgiving in Portland with her grandfather and her folks. Then Friday they helped move the grandfather from his family farm into town. Doug says he’s planning on renting the farm. The Alan Sherman family and her sister’s family had dinner together. Then they did a lot of golfing for the rest of the week end. Wasn’t it just beautiful weather for this late in the year. This weekend will be the first of December. I know I doubly appreciate beautiful weather this time of year, before old man winter clobbers us. Joe and Carol Sanford had all of their family together for Thanksgiving. Sunday they celebrated Joe’s birthday. Lavina Finkbeiner had a nice houseful for Thanksgiving. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Ainsworth and son Dave, Jack and Marilyn and Brian, Scott Fink- '’Pizzas $ubm<rincs ’’Italian. Specialties • • • • •••- beiner and wife, Marilyn’s mom, Marge Bedford, and Mr. and Mrs. Ken Mingerink and family were Lavina’s guests. The Koeplinger family with daughter Mitzi, daughter Marilyn and Brent, had Thanksgiving at the MiddleVilla Inn. Louise Elwood had Alan Eavey and family from MSU visit them. Also Loyd Elwood and family, with Loyd running in our local Turkey Trot (in which around 400 participated). Son Tom Elwood is off to Italy for a week’s vacation. Louise also has Hospital Guild this week. Doris Brog had niece Barbara Kett visit her Tuesday. Bobbie Smith said this Thanksgiving was the first time in 30 years that they were alone. Son Craig and wife went to visit Kevin - they both live in Florida. Norma and Gladeon Lewis had a belated Thanksgiving at her folks home, Jennie and Clifford Davis. Her three sisters and their husbands were there also. Audrey Bennett said Gary’s mom, Margaret Bennett, spent Thanksgiving with them. Also daughter Deb and husband from Memphis, Tenn., spent a week with them and grandma Margaret flew back to Memphis with Deb. The Gordon Bennetts had daughter Candace and Bill Rich and family, Laura’s mom, Alice Freshney. son Todd and wife and daughter Alison and son Britten, so their house was nice and full. Sue and Bill Morgan are taking their 5th wheeler to stay four months in Texas. Char Finkbeiner said she and Rod had the whole family home for Thanksgiving, also his dad, Her­ man Finkbeiner Ace Abbott said the Masons have started their Sunday breakfasts again. The next one is December 9 from 8:30 until 11:00 a.m. Kathy Moore said she and Terry, Bill and Judy Miller just got back from Cadillac. Bill and Terry went fishing while the gals did some shopping. Had a good time. Ken and Rose Morgan had a houseful for Thanksgiving with 22 of their family on hand. Clare and Pat Tolan and family had Thanksgiving with her family, the Ted Wieringas, before they left for Texas. Pat's daughter. Kimberly Streeter, is now atten­ ding Ferris College, taking business courses. Ann Bartlett said the Bartlett clan had Thanksgiving with Dan’s parents in Saranac. Ann wants all of you folks to mark December 6 on your calendar for the Blood Bank at the VFW Hall from noon until 6. Rollo and Mae Bowerman had a nice houseful for Thanksgiving. Mr. and Mrs. Theron Bowerman, Rick, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Eastman, Mrs. Eva Modreske, Basil Bowerman’s and son Jeff were all present. Friday Mr. and Mrs. Henry Elgersma and gran­ ddaughter Amanda, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Waalkes and two sons joined Rollo and Mae Bowerman to help clean up the leftovers. Don and Dorothy Dean had Thanksgiving with daughter Becky and David and family. Saturday all the family came to Dorothy and Don’s to help gran­ dson Loren celebrate his first birthday. Sunday Jochem and Nancy Dettrick stopped in, while biking from Rockford. They have the Weaver Shop in Rockford. It’s 36 miles from Rockford, then they have to go the 36 miles back. Can’t say I blame them. It was a beautiful day. Twila Elwood drove to Battle Creek for Thanksgiving, her first big trip since she fell. Can’t keep a good gal down. The Featherly’s were all together for Thanksgiving. Mrs. Featherly wasn’t home, she was bowling, but one of her family said they’d all gotten together. Mrs. Paul Fuller had Thanksgiving with her daughter. She’d been in the hospital five days for tests. When you have a bad case of arthritis, life just goes on, hurtingly (if there is such a word), good and bad days, and you learn to live with it. So many of The Sun and News, MiddteviBe, Ml / Nov. 29,19841 Pg. 5 us would certainly appreciate a complete cure. I guess man has been plagued for thousands of years with it. Seems to me I read somewhere about some digs where they found skeletons showing the deposits of arthritis, many, many years back. Richard Hamilton said son Tom has a 30-day leave beginning November 30 before being stationed in Pearl Harbor, so he’s on his way home to visit the folks. Bill Kenyon helped move his son Dave and family into the former Jake Doombos home on Irving Road Saturday. Neva took care of the grandchildren and kept them over Saturday night.

Bill and Judy Miller and the girls, as well as great grandmother. Margery Miller, were there. The Jerry Steins had Thanksgiving with Jerry’s parents in Traverse City. I think she said Jim and Gwen Stander and Jeannie and Matt came over Sunday for dinner. Saturday night the Lynn Tolans attended the D&W Christmas party at the Grand Plaza. They had Thanksgiving with Alice and Bernard Wieringa and family. Then Luana and some gals she works with at D&W attended the Tom Jones concert at DeVos Hall. One morning Luana had breakfast with Art and Syd Jackson in Cedar Springs, then she and Syd at­ tended a craft show there. Had a nice visit with Dorothy VanOort. She’s so grateful to Dave and Jane for their uncomplaining and loving care they give her. That's another thing that Thanksgiving is all about.

Bob Bender's IN TOUCH X___________________________ ._____________ ______ z In Support of Seat Belt Law Just over a year ago, I devoted this column to a short discussion of the Mandatory Seat Belt issue • anticipating that we would be voting on the bill at that time. Obviously that vote did not take place but never fear - one year later we are back at it again! This time, however, the bill has already passed the Senate by a comfortable 30-7 margin, and awaits our action in the House. Probably the most significant thing that has transpired since we last debated this issue is the Federal decision to impose air bags if states fail to enact seat belt legislation. Air bags are simply not as effective in reducing injury as are seat belts, and certainly much more costly, (estimates are between $700 and $1000 per car). I believe that mandatory safety belt usage is ap­ propriate public policy for Michigan. Enactment of this legislation will save 300 lives a year, substan­ tially reduce the 26,000 serious injuries and minor injuries, and save over $200 million in direct and in­ direct costs to Michigan residents. Opposition to this issue basically comes down to one question - "Isn’t the decision not to wear a seat belt solely a personal one?” I don’t think su. An in­ dividual’s decision not to wear a safety belt affects us all through higher insurance premiums, medical cost, lost wages, rehabilitation cost, and more demands on state services, such as welfare and medicaid. I suggest that driving is not a constitutional right. It is a privilege of citizenship - one that is legitimately regulated by the State. Even now, we require a driver to take and pass a competency test before a license is given, and the individual’s driving behavior is regulated by speed limits, traffic signs and other limits. It appears now that a vote will be taken in the House next week (Dec. 3). Stay tuned for the next exciting adventure in the continuing saga of the elusive seat belt legislation.

This combination sets the stage for possible childhood poisonings. The Western Michigan Poison Center would like to remind parents and grandparents about some of the common dangers during the holiday season. Plants: Bayberries and Christmas cactus are con­ sidered non-poisonous. The common greens, trees, and poinsettias will cause only minor irritation if swallowed. However, holly, mistletoe, boxwood shrub, Christmas berry tree, the Jerusalem cherry. English and American ivies, and Rhododendron are all considered poisonous. Alcohol: Usually this is available in the form of leftover alcoholic drinks or bottles of new colognes, perfumes, or aftershaves under the Christmas tree. Ingestion of even moderate amounts of alcohol by a child is potentially serious. Batteries: A hidden hazard of some electronic games, toys, calculators, cameras, or watches are button batteries. These are frequently swallowed or choked on by children. They have the potential for breaking apart in the stomach or intestines causing bums or perforation. The best precaution is not to handle them in the presence of children. Also, remember to wrap them securely before discarding them. Decorations: Angel Hair: made of spun glass and could cause irritation to eyes, skin or stomach. Christmas tree ornaments: Made of thin glass, plastic or styrofoam and could cause choking or ob­ struction if swallowed. Any paint on the ornaments would be poorly absorbed and unlikely to cause toxicity. Bubble lights: many contain ethyl alcohol, ethyl ether, or methylene chloride. Ingestion of the con­ tents of more than one could be harmful. Icicles, tinsel and glitter: poorly digested or ab­ sorbed in this form — presents only a mechanical in­ jury problem. Snow globes: glass or plastic domes which when shaken produce a snow scene. The particles in the water are non-toxic. Snow sprays: ingestion of dry snow is non-toxic. Parents concerned about toy safety may contact the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The toll free number is 800-638-2772. z Mfc««or No USFS 347B5O 124 E. Main Street / Phone 795-3345 MIDDLEVILLE.

No one was hurt, our journey, thankfully, was only delayed an hour or so, and life goes on. . We did have a nice extended weekend with Ken.

Ken has five weeks between terms at Asbury and is working as an elec­ trician for the month of December.

Middleville Girls RIBC's Recycling Tips Complete B.B.Year RiBC’s recycling tip for this month is also a gift idea • a portable battery recharger. How many dead batteries have you thrown in the trash? How many times have you shopped and shopped in vain for a particular size battery to replace a used one? A nickle cadmium battery recharger is the an­ swer. Although considerably more expensive to purchase in the first place, nickle cadmium batteries last for years. They are carried locally and cost between $7-810 for two, depending on the size. Rechargers range from $16 to $23, plug into an ordinary household outlet and use very little electricity even though it takes about eight hours to recharge a battery. Our family has used such batteries for flashlights, camera flash attachment and toys for years and find it a great alternative to the conventiona throw-away waste creating kind. Car batteries can also be recycled by taking them to Summit Steel Processing Corp, at 519 East Railroad in Hastings. Remember to recycle your clean glass and metal (labels removed from cans) at the Middleville household recycling site behind the Middle Mart Party Store on M-37, the Hastings site in the fire station parking lot on Mill and Michigan, or the Caledonia Foods site on M-37. Used motor oil can be recycled at any service station displaying the black and yellow sign 'Recycle Used Oil Here.’ Call 795-7897 with any questions.

CALEDONIA FAMILY FOOTWEAR The Middleville girls basketball team finished their season last Tuesday night in the District tour­ nament at Hamilton. A tall Hopkins team defeated the Trojans 48-26 to put an abrupt end to any tour­ ney hopes our TK ladies might have had. The game was close until midway through the 2nd quarter when the Vikings ran off 9 unanswered points to leave the court at halftime with a 26-15 lead. TK then played the Hopkins quintet almost even in the third quarter with some excellent defense and the period ended with the Lady Vikings owning a 34-22 advantage. However, the Viking squad then quickly exploded for 14 fourth quarter points to put the game out of reach. Kris Timm led the Middleville team with 8 points. The year, however, was a success for our local girls, finishing tied for third in the conference and fashioning a season record of 12 wins and 9 losses which established an all-time varsity best for most wins and winning percentage, .571. The team was characterized by good hustle from all eight varsity players, with everyone contributing to the team's success. Karmen Gray, OK Blue All Conference selection, led the team in assists with 61, while Brenda Page was the team and conference leader in rebounds, hauling down 300 for the year. Both Brenda and Karmen made 2nd team all­ county. Senior co-captain Dawn Bos was the Trojan defensive specialist leading the team with 69 steals. The 1984 scoring leader was sophomore Kim Koetsier who tossed in 202 total points, for a 10.6 per game average. Kris Timm was the leader in most free throws with 46, and shot very well from the field. Starting center Monique Weesie played good defense and hauled down 151 rebounds. Sophomore Denise Van Duine did an excellent job playing defense and handled the ball very well throughout the season. Freshman guard Beth Steeby joined the varsity for the last eleven games and made key con­ tributions in several games, with steals and good defense. Next season all but one player are returning, and the team is looking forward to being in contention for a conference championship in 1985.

Then I like to find out as much as possible about each person. We can relate to their lives, as we would if they were our next door neighbor. I had a good verbal picture of the first Albert Ebenezer Bull. Also the church news gave me a brief picture of A. Eton Bull Jr. (Nephew). The probate court called the first A.E.Bull as Sr., but nowhere could I find any verbal picture of Lydia Ann Shaw Bull. The one picture we had showed her as a woman with strength, as most pioneer women had to be to survive. I read in the Portrait and Biographical Album of 1881 (loaned by Helen Cridler Wenger) that “she had traded her interests in the estate for 200 acres on Sec. 1, Yankee Springs Twp. and Sec. 36 of Thor­ napple Twp. This farm is one of the finest in the township, including an attractive residence and all the modern conveniences in the way o farm buildings.” My curiosity was raised as to where this was. I couldn't find anything except for a Lydia A. Culver who had traded for a 200-acre farm in 1878. In 1892 a Lydia A. Bull had sold this same piece of property to Omar Shaw, retaining a life lease. I checked with the county clerk on Lydia A. Culver and found that Lydia A. Bull had married a man by the name of Culver, but the marriage was one of short duration. I stopped to talk with Julia Shaw (Mrs. Milo) to find out if Milo’s father was Omar Shaw, and he was. She said Donna Cox, Milo’s sister, would really know more about it. After talking with Donna, the picture of Lydia Ann was beginning to emerge. When Lydia Ann’s mother, Nancy Anderson Shaw, died, Lydia took her younger brother Abner, and sister Alice Iretta, to raise, as she had no living children. Her brother, Richard Bowman Shaw, died in the civil war and his wife Eliza Henyon Shaw died in 1866, so Lydia once more took their three boys, Arthur, Albert and Omar Richard (Milo and Don­ na’s dad) to raise until they reached their majority. Being very careful with money, she paid each boy only minimal wages. But when each one reached 21, she paid the balance due them for her carefully kept records, so they had a respectable start in life. Aunt Ann, as Donna called Lydia Ann Bull, hated waste and when anyone left food on their plates, would clean them all up, even if she became sick af­ terwards. Once she made up her mind, no one could change it. She and Alice Iretta (Aunt Rett to Donna) lived in a nice home in Irving Village on Oake Street. This is where Lydia died in 1901. Then Aunt Rett came to live with the Omar Shaws on the now Milo and Julia Shaw farm. The big old house was still there. Donna has fond memories of the old house of many rooms, beautiful old pines around the house and a yard enclosed by a big hedge. She can also see the milk being separated for the cream which the milk man picked up. After Donna had married Charlie Cox her mother had a stroke, so they moved back to the old home place to be with her. They had one son, Ron. The house caught on fire one morning about breakfast time. They all were safe but the house was destroyed. Milo suggested they rebuild where the old house had been, as well as build the home where Cox’s now live. The oak trees for both homes came from his woods. So with Donna Shaw Cox’s memories, a picture emerged that we can relate. That’s the fascinating part of history to me.

Employees fear their trips to work, senior citizens are scared to go to the store, and our children can’t go to school without the threat of being attacked. It is estimated that Michigan will need ten new state prisons within the next ten years to house the state’s criminal population. Right now, with over­ crowded prisons and the early release program, criminals know that if they are caught, either they won’t go to jail or their time behind bars will be ex­ tremely short. Last week. Republicans introduced a five-point legislative program designed to get the criminals off the streets and provide protection for our lawabiding citizens. to every cook on your shopping list!

ADD 50c PER BOOK FOR POSTAGE The measures, some of which are already moving through the legislative process, call for: — Expanding the state’s bonding authority to provide $100 million to begin construction of five new 550-bed regional state prisons, two of which must be built in the City of Detroit. —Offering a lease-purchase agreement to take over the Detroit House of Correction from the City of Detroit for use as a state prison facility, con­ tingent upon the final selection of specific sites for two regional state prisons within the City of Detroit. —Establishing a 50-50 state/local matching funds program for any county governmental unit which starts new jail construction, expands existing jail facilities, or renovates a non-jail structure for deten­ tion facilities during calendar year 1985, providing that the county gives land to the state which is ac­ ceptable for location of a regional state prison site. —Establishing a Special Habitual Offenders Task Force within the Michigan State Police to locate and arrest known repeat offenders. —Levying the state sales tax on all illegal drug sales and seizures above and beyond existing for­ feiture statues. This package is a positive program which the Legislature can act upon quickly to provide im­ mediate short-term results to the crime problems in Detroit and Michigan. There is no question that the citizens of Detroit and the people of Michigan want action on this serious crime problem now. They want results, not more rhetoric. Unfortunately, while everyone wants the criminals behind bars, no one wants the prisons in their communities. Until that obstacle is overcome and all areas of the state accept their fair share of prison sites, the severity of the crime problem will not only continue, it will increase.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE SCENES OF MIDDLEVILLE'S PARADE. Valorie Owen, a member of the village council for the past 11 years, was named Village President of Middleville at a council meeting Tuesday night. Mrs, Owen is believed to be the first woman to hold that job since the Village was incorporated over 100 years ago. Mrs. Owen has served in most capacities on the various council committees over the years. “This give me a broad knowledge on how the village operates,” said the new president. Mrs. Owen was named President Pro-Tern under the late Robert Sullivan’s recent term which began this year. She will serve until the next election in 1986. Moving into the President s chair leaves a vacan­ cy on the Council to fill Mrs. Owen’s seat. Any Mid­ dleville resident interested in serving on the council may make application at the Village Hall. Kathrin Miner Selected D.A.R. Award Winner Principal Henry J. Dugan of Thomapple Kellogg High School is pleased co announce that Kathrin Miner has been chosen the recipient of the Daughters of the American Revolution award. This award is one of the greatest honors a senior girl can achieve. The qualifications necessary to gain this honor are patriotism, service, depen­ dability and leadership. Kathy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Max Miner. 704 Grand Rapids Street, Mid­ dleville, was chosen by the faculty from a list of girls nominated by the senior class. Kathy is majoring in English, science and music and also has a minor in computer science. Playing four years on the tennis team netted Kathy four varsity letters. She also ran on the track team in her sophomore year Kathy was often found in the music department as she served three years in the symphonic band, three years in the jazz band and two years as a flag girl. She also participated in the all-school musical as a sophomore. The Class of 1985 benefited from Kathy ’s talents in its freshman year with Kathy serving as treasurer. As a junior and senior, Kathy was a member of the National Honor Society and was ac­ tive, too, in the Michigan Future Problem Solving Program. In this program Kathy made TK proud, placing first in the state in a scenario competiton. Her scenario was advanced to national competition where she received a commendable Honorable Men­ tion award. School did not capture all of Kathy’s time or talents. She spent seven active years in 4-H serving as treasurer of the area group during one of those years. Being a teen leader in her church's youth group and teaching private music lessons round out Kathy ’s activities. Western Michigan University ranks high in Kathy 's future plans. She hopes to concentrate her studies on communications and journalism. The high school administration, staff and studen­ ts congratulate Kathy on her fine high school career and this prestigious award. I I * �Pg. 21 The Sun and Newi, Middleville, Ml I Dec. 13,1984 I never find it a chore to write a column on the new books in the library. It gives me the opportunity to look over brand new, untouched books. Even if I never have time to read them all completely, I am able to look at the covers, read the blurbs and become familiar with them. The only problem with this is that it may take me a very long time to com­ plete the writing. Seldom do I find a new book that doesn’t look interesting. That is not to say that there aren’t boring books - only that we have very few new boring books in this library. Here are some examples of books available in the “new” section. Superior Women by Alice Adams. This novel follows the lives of five women from the time they entered Radcliffe College in 1943 to the present. Through these women, the patterns of society are observed. The Miko by Eric Lustbader. Those who read The Ninja will enjoy this continuation of the story. The story involves the CIA, Japanese technology, internationa travel, business and the mystical Ninja warriors. The Shook by J. P. Miller. Span Barrman flees in­ to a cave when frightened by a motorcycle gang. He becomes lost in the cave, which no other person has ever seen. In awe of the prehistoric creatures and physical features of the cave. Span seeks aid from the Skook, a fantastic creature of imagination and hope. The True Joy of Positive Living by Norman Vin­ cent Peale. Peale draws upon his 60 years of ex­ perience working with people to write his autobiography. He relates stories of his life and how he was affected by others. Three and One Make Five by Rodney Jeffries. A police inspector, Enrique Alvarez, becomes involved with a young woman because they have a common bond - the loss of a loved one. Alvarez questions the connection between this new friend and several other deaths. Oeri by Geri Jerwell. Geri Jewell, disabled with cerebral palsy, relates her struggle to attain a place in the entertainment industry. Geri has appeared in TV programs, as a comedienne and also has a recurring role in the show “The Facts of Life.” The Moon in the Water by Pamela Belle. This in­ ternational bestseller is a family saga set in the 16th and 17th century Britain. Historical fiction and romance readers will want to follow the story of Thomazine, forced into marriage with a man she doesn’t love. Chains of Fate is the sequel. Back at the Farm - Raising livestock on a Small Scale by Dick Deming. This book will be useful for new homesteaders who lack the farming experience necessary with farm animals. There are also chap­ ters on homestead energy, tools, and key facts. Idaho by Dana Fuller Ross. Readers of the Wagons West paperback series will need no in­ troduction to this 13th in the series. Lillian’s Thanks The Caledonia Santa Claus Parade was held on Saturday with a large turnout blocking the streets and a nice parade. Senior citizen Lillian Schultz had a big surprise as she was selected by the parade sponsors to act as the Grand Marshal for the parade. Lillian planned on riding in the school bus that was donated for the senior citizens that day, but was given the honor to ride in a convertible in­ stead, with all the applause and cheers from her friends on the bus. Lillian accepted the honor and departed on the arm of Dave Stauffer to her waiting car. Lillian thanks those responsible for selecting her as Grand Marshall, and assures the day will not be forgotten. The4Sun flnd.Neius PuMctton No US« S47«5O 124 E.

Bob Bender's IN TOUCH Welfare Cost Cutting - Still plugging along! As the Legislative Session draws to a close, a number of bills that have been languishing at various stages of the legislative process are finally receiving some attention. One with which I have been involved, passed out of the House Social Services Committee last week and deals with cutting the costs of distributing food stamps. Although food stamps themselves are a Federal program, the distribution is a State expen­ se, and is one cost which I believe we can cut con­ siderably. The bill, which has already passed thr Senate, and now awaits action by the full House of Representatives, essentially builds competition into the system by directing the state to accept bids before contracting with agencies to distribute the food stamps. Private as well as public agencies would be eligible to enter into the bidding process and, plain and simply, whoever could do the job the cheapest would get the contract. Currently, food stamps in Michigan are distributed by a variety of agencies and methods. In some areas, post offices distribute the stamps and charge the state up to $1.72 per transaction. Com­ munity Action Agencies also handle some distributions and average $1.10 per transaction. In a few areas where private agencies now provide this service, the costs average $.86. Each 10 cent reduc­ tion in the state average cost will save the state nearly $500,000 annually. Once again, it appears that competition and private enterprise might be able to do the job more efficiently and less costly than the government. So let’s give them a chance! This would be the first competitive bid law in the country if we can put it into effect. It sure would be great to see Michigan take the lead in some cost cut­ ting welfare measures for a change! �P» 4 / The Sun »nd Newt, MiMeeih, Ml I Dec 13,1984 NEWS OF YOUR CALEDONIA NEIGHBORS with ANNE RAAB and THELMA GEHL Saturday, December 8, was just a gorgeous day for the Caledonia parade.

Guests included Gerry and Alex Neil, Iva Langkamp, Barbara and Russell Scott, Helen Rich. Etta Timm, Bill and sharon White, Estelle McConnon, Barbara and Clair Waite, Phyllis and Lester Rogers, Ralph and Thelma Gehl. Everyone enjoyed the evening and Santa had gifts for all. Larry and Marcia Gehl returned from Jim’s in Washington State last Monday night. They were unable to drive up the 6000 ft. winding road up Mt. Rainier because of the enormous amount of snow up in the mountains, but did see many beautiful sights. We saw five deer on the right side of the road and two on the left on 100th Street E., Monday night as we took Larry and Marcia home from the airport. They seem to know when deer season is over and they can run free again. Bill and Sharon White’s Mandy hasn’t been feeling well lately and we hope she’s better soon.

MkMMt Ml I Due. 13,1984 St. Mary’s to Again Offer Doll Birth Certificates Responding to scores of hopeful requests for the popular doll "birth and adoption" certificates given •way last year, St. Mary’s Hospital will repeat the program this Christmas season, officials said. The Grand Rapids hospital first gave away the certificates in 1983 at the suggestion of a nursing administration employee. She noted the frustration of many Christmas shoppers who were unable to find the popular "Cabbage Patch" dolls for their children. Because part of the lure of the soft dolls is the adoption papers which come with them, she suggested that St. Mary ’s could supply similar cer­ tificates for any doll. What started with that simple idea, however, soon burgeoned into nearly full-time jobs for several hospital employees, as hundreds of telephoned and ELDON NEWMYER, D.C. CHIROPRACTOR M-W-F 9-12 Noon;2-7 p.m. PHONE 795-7096 127 East Main Street / Downtown Middleville written requests poured in for the certificates. By the time Christmas season was over, nearly 7,000 of the certificates had been given out — some as far away as Texas and Iowa. Although slightly redesigned this year, the St. Mary’Certificates remain essentially the same. They "certify" that a given doll was “born" at St. Mary s and authorize the adopting child to give it “tender love and care." Parents may sign as "witnesses" or may choose to enter the name of Santa and Mrs. Claus. Persons may obtain the certificates, which come in pink for girl dolls and blue for boy dolls, by picking them up at the St. Mary’s Hospital information desk, located just inside the main entrance at 200 Jefferson SE, or they may call the Public Information office at 7746340. Driver’s Licenses to I e Coded “Under 21” The words "UNDER 21" will be printed in bold type on the licenses of all Michigan drivers between the ages of 16 through 20-and-a-half years under a measure approved by the State Legislature and awaiting the Governor’s signature. Sponsored by State Representative James Dressel, the purpose of the bill is to make it easier for restaurant and bar owners to comply with the state's drinking law. “The ‘Under 21’ code will stand out on the license so that drivers under the drinking age can be iden­ tified in restaurants and bars where the lighting sometimes makes age verification difficult, " Dressel said. "It will also make it more difficult to alter licenses." The suggestion for the new license format came from several Western Michigan bar and restaurant owners who were concerned with proper age iden­ tification. "Last year, of the 249 teenage driving fatalities, 100 were alcohol related," he continued. "Statewide, in all age groups, 53 to 56 percent of the people killed in the past five years had been drinking to ex­ cess before they got behind tne wheel. This is one more step in addressing a problem that is not only prevalent in Michigan, but throughout the nation. " Dressel added that Michigan is the first state to pass such a law. "It’s a brand new concept that I hope will cut down on drinking teenage drivers. ’’ TK School Menus Week of December 17 West - McFall Elementary Monday: Fishwich/cheese, tarter sauce, baked beans, fruit cocktail, milk.

In the season opener, the Trojans made numerous mistakes and along with the Lions’ quickness and press, Mid­ dleville wasn’t in the game for the second half. Tied after two quarters at 23-23, Maple Valley returned to the floor in the second half to completely dominate the Trojans. The Lions scored 26 points to Middleville’s 10 in that third frame and it was all but over. TK did a little better in the final quarter, scoring 15 points, but Maple Valley did two better. Steve Miller led the Trojans with 15 points, aided by Dave Karel's 9. Middleville’s percentage at the net was only 31, hitting on 17 of 54 attempted shots. Maple Valley connected on 36 percent of their shots. This Friday night the Middleville team hopes to get their act together as the Lee Rebels come to town. 7th Graders Win, 42-25 The TK Seventh Grade boys basketball team won their first game of the season at Wayland last Friday, 42-25. The winners started fast as they ran up a 15-4 first quarter lead before Wayland could get going. After that the two teams played fairly evenly. This year’s team members include Mike Millhouse, Steve Miner, Bill Atkinson, Corey Dean, Jim Grube, Chad Becker, Rob Lawrence, Dave Kaechele, Todd Hulst, Chris Ayres, Troy Bailey, Chip Baughman, Howard DeWent, Brad Eastwood, Tony Palmer. Tad Thatcher, Steve Thompson, Dan Verlinde, Glen Woodard, Chad Peters and Greg Hoekstra. All team members played well and were led in scoring by Mike Millhouse with 14 points, Jim Grube 9, Steve Miner 6, Bill Atkinson 5, Corey Dean 4, D. Kaechele and Dan Verlinde 2. The rebounding was headed by Atkinson and Millhouse and the defense was lead by Dean, Grube, Miner and Lawrence. The next game is Friday at Wyoming Lee.

Copy of last year’s return 2. Record of income for 1984 a. Form 1099 - for interest received b. Form 1099 for Dividends received c. Form SSA-1099 for Social Security received 3. Record of property tax or rent for 1984 4. Record of hospitalization insurance paid in 1984 5.

Twas the weeks before Christmas and out on the Prairie No one was at home - it really was scary! The phones they all jingled, one-two three-four-five But nobody answered • was no one alive! It wasn’t quite that bad - but almost. So I figure if you aren’t at home to answer the phone and give us your news, you probably haven’t the time to read too much either. Tom and Brenda Bremer were among the group enjoying a holiday dinner party at the home of Jeff and Beth Bauer on Saturday evening. The Harvey Becker family celebrated Chad’s 13th birthday on Monday evening with his grandma and aunt. They also entertained friends for dinner Friday night and spent Sunday visiting family friends in Bridgman. A busy weekend. Heather Burke of Stevensville picked up her friend, Kathy Bremer, on Saturday morning and together they went to Lansing to spend the day with another former college room mate, Nancy Graham. The gals had fun doing Christmas crafts together. Clifford and Jennie Davis, and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Van Hoven went out to Bill Knapp’s for dinner in honor of both of their anniversaries which happen on December 14. This will be Number 62 for the Davises. Congratulations! Tom and I had dinner last Tuesday night at the home of Dwight and Norma Hamman at Algonquin Lake. Other guests were our son John and their daughter, Kellie Hamman. We had a good visit and wished the Hamman's a safe journey as they left over the weekend for their new home in Greenville, South Carolina. The Dave Enders family had Sunday dinner at the home of his folks, Harold and Dorothy Enders, to help celebrate the birthday of sister-in-law Phyllis Enders. Sunday Tom and I drove up to Shepherd to hear grandson Zak sing with the church’s cherub choir — and also to enjoy one of Colleen's good dinners and play with baby Kara. You can tell I don’t go shopping very often, because each time I do is an adventure in itself. When it comes to looking at today’s fashion, there is a definite culture gap! We’ve all read funny stories and seen cartoons about “little old ladies”, their bobby socks, their babushkas, their tennis shoes, baggy dresses, etc. I’m here to tell you, they are set­ ting the fashion trends.

They also seem to be trend-setters. Thanks, lyla Norton, for the lunch and the oppor­ tunity to explore and enjoy the decor of Casa Lupita.

Ml I Dec. 13,1984 Caledonia Joins for ‘Celebration of Joy9 Sunday evening, December 2, more than four hundred Caledonia area residents of at least five dif­ ferent churches gathered in the Caledonia High School gymnasium for “A Community Celebration of Joy.” The celebration was a good old-fashioned “carol sing”, ushering in the Christmas season on the first Sunday of Advent. The gathering featured selected readings from sacred scripture, and prayers led by area clergypersons, community singing and choral presentations. Choirs from the following churches gave musical offerings: Holy Family Catholic Choir, Gaines United Brethren Choir, Caledonia Christian Refor­ med Choir and Peace Reformed Choir. Caledonia United Methodist Church also participated. The evening culminated with a combined choir singing the “Hallelujah Chorus” of Handel’s Messiah. The next planned such event, sponsored by the Caledonia Ministers’ Association, is the annual Good Friday Union Service. Philbrook, Otto Troth The Reverend and Mrs. Leroy Philbrook of Baton Rouge, La., are proud to announce the engagement of their daughter Paula Marie to Kenneth David Ot­ to, son of David and Lorraine Otto of Middleville.

Raymond L. Blough, 139 High Street, was ap­ pointed to fill the vacancy created when Vai Owen was named Village President recently. But, momen­ ts later the Council accepted with regret the resignation of Councilman Joe Scott, thereby creating another vacancy. Blough has served on the Village Planning Com­ mission and the Park Advisory Committee. Scott gave business reasons for not being able to con­ tinue on the Council. ‘Thumper’ Heart attack victims that must be transported by the Thornapple Am­ bulance Service based in Middleville will have a better chance of surviving with the addition of a CPR Thumper to the ambulance. The Thumper is a mechanical device that allows sustained cardio pulmonary resuscitation in cases when the vic­ tim has lost his regular heartbeat and breathing capabilities. The ambulan­ ce EMT's have up to this time been administering CPR physically, and sometimes with long trips to medical facilities, maintaining the proper rhythm can create problems. The $3,500 Thumper was purchased with funds donated to the ambulance ser­ vice as memorials over the past two years and from Township ambulance funds.

Resolutions of Respect to the memory of Sister Pauline Bowman: The members of Caledonia Chapter mourn the loss of their beloved Past Grand Organist and Past Matron, Sister Pauline Bowman. We are saddened by her death for she oc­ cupied a very special place among us. She will always be remembered at her special place in our Chapter room, "thepiano" where she warmed our hearts and souls so many times with her music. She will be missed, but we are sustained in our loss by our Father's promise that we shall meet again in that better world of eternity. We recommend draping the Chapter's char­ ter for thirty days in the memory of our Sister, and that these resolutions be entered in the Chapter's records. Also that a copy be sent to Brother Keith Bowman.

To Pay Bills on Time is Issue Before Governor Legislation forcing state government to pay its bills on time won unanimous approval by the State Senate Tuesday and is awaiting the Governor’s signature to become law. Sponsored by State Representative Paul Hillegonds, the prompt payment measure imposes a nine percent annual penalty fee on the unpaid, past due balance of all bills for goods and services which are not paid within 45 days. “Up to now the state hasn’t had any incentive to pay its bills on time because it never had to pay any interest,’’ Hillegonds said. “Many small businesses which have a tight cash flow situation are under­ standably reluctant to deal with the state for fear they won’t be paid promptly.” Michigan is the 28th state to pass this type of legislation, and interest rates range from onequarter of one percent a day to 15.5 percent a year. “Before Congress approved a similar law in 1982, the federal government paid 66 percent of its bills on time,’’ Hillegonds said. “Now 99 percent are paid promptly. I think it’s fair to say we will see the same improvement in our own state. “Michigan’s payment record isn’t as dismal as the federal government’s was, but concern over past due bills has been a major reason that many small businesses won’t enter into state contracts. They’re usually the businesses which can best provide the goods and services the state needs at the best cost. For that reason alone this was an important bill and it will be an important law. “I sponsored another law that takes government out of competition with private business, and this is the next logical step in assuring that our private employers receive fair treatment. ” Hillegonds said that the new law was one of the top 10 priorities to come out of the 1982 Small Business Conference sponsored by Governor Milliken and was also a part of Governor Blan­ chard’s small business agenda. tv £oyou.i CHiiAtmai fleeting* ftom Out ^-family to p t® {V c* floin ui fox Oux (Ifixiitrnai cSexulcei MASS SCHEDULE Christmas Eve: Children's Mass at 5:30 p.m. Midnight Mass begins with caroling at 11:30 p.m. Christmas Day: 10:00 a.m. New Year's Eve: 7:00 p.m. New Year's Day: 10:00 a.m. /jff XA j p/l PENANCE SERVICES December 16 at 5:00 p.m. December 20 at 7:00 p.m. Holy Family Wishing all of you Hope and Joy, Peace and Love Season’s Greetings, Nancy and Lois CHRISTIANS ...

MUT AND JEFF'S CERAMICS 31 st District State Senator It’s all over but the shouting — or perhaps it would be more accurate to say the shouting is al over. With the exception of the “Sine die” closing, the 82nd session of the Michigan Legislature has com­ pleted its work. It was a session marked by firsts. For the first time in nearly 20 years, the Governor’s office was occupied by a Democrat, and for the first time in over a decade, Republicans were in control of the Senate. Under these conditions, what were the accom­ plishments of the Michigan Senate? With Republican control, the Senate initiated the accelerated rollback of the Blanchard 38 percent in­ come tax hike. The Senate initiated and passed the mandatory seatbelt bill, which was subsequently defeated in the House. With the Senate leading the way, the Legislature granted more state funding for education this year — $64 million more for K-12 and $12 million more for higher education than either the Governor or the House Democrats had recommended. The Senate also passed a major education reform package that would have greatly enhanced the quality and ac­ countability of Michigan’s education system — but it was allowed to die in the House. In an effort to address the “waste” problems in Michigan, the Senate voted to place before the voters a $350 million state bonding proposal to provide funding for the implementation of a solid waste recovery program that would move Michigan away from dependence on landfilles and help clean up our groundwater pollution. Recognizing the seriousness of the crime and prison overcrowding problems, the Senate initiated passage of legislation that would provide $100 million bonding capacity for the early startup of prison construction throughout the state —a move which led to additional funds being put into the state's capital outlay for prison construction. Improving the business climate was also a priority during the past session. The Senate ap­ proved legislation restoring the “waiting week,” which would have saved Michigan businesses millions of dollars per year. We also passed legislation removing unemployment benefits and research and development credits from the base of the Single Business Tax, another boon to Michigan businesses. In the area of health care cost containment, the final bill in an eight-bill package setting into law Prudent Purchaser Arrangements (PPAs) was passed during the final days of session. Senate Republicans also strongly supported a package of bills which would have implemented a wide range of financial institution reforms. The comprehensive package was agreed to by bankers, unions, business leaders and the Governor, but un­ fortunately died in the House. We did pass an inter­ state banking and consolidation bill which was sent to the governor’s desk. This is just a sampling of some of the major issues taken up by the Senate during this session. Ob­ viously, this year has been a busy, productive one for the upper chamber. And with a greater number of Republicans in the House for the next session, we look forward to greater cooperation between the two chambers. In the interim, we will be resting our voices — for the next round of shouting. PEACE ON EARTH! S<«4on. a healthy and prosperous New Year! I* is the time of the Like o good neighbor.

CENTRAL AUTO PARTS, INC (PEACE ON <EfiRTH In hundreds of countries, in thousands of dialects, people are announcing Christmas. In every culture it will be the children who are the most excited. They will lead us in marking this day with special events and programs. The child in all of us should respond to the simple news: Jesus is born! This is not a day for speculation or argument; it is a day for simple acknowledgment and unrestrained joy. Today let us join with people all over the world in singing these words from a familiar carol: “O Savior, we greet Thee, born this happy morning; 0 Jesus, to Thee be all glory given, Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing. O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.” As we are among family and friends today, let each of us tell of a way that our world is dif­ ferent because of the presence of Jesus. And let us spend a little time sharing with others the difference the arrival of Jesus has made in our own lives. Doing so will make us sing and celebrate the more. “To God be the glory, great things He has done!” Special deliveryl Our Christmas message to you. Hope it's full of fun festivities.

Happy Holidays �The Sun and News, Middleville, Ml I Dec. 20.1984 / Pj. 11 Trojans Win Big Over Lee The Middleville Trojans got into the win column quickly in this year’s basketball season by blasting the Lee Rebels, 75-52, on the home court last Friday night. Getting their “act together’’ after a disap­ pointing loss to Maple Valley December 7, the Trojans served notice on the league that they have the potential to be in the fight this year Although the Trojan shooting percentage was only slightly better than Lee’s (48% and 47%), Mid­ dleville took 66 shots to the Rebels' 43. In the rebounding department, Middleville out-gunned Lee, grabbing 47 to their 21, proving that height does count. Middleville led 17-10 in the first quarter and up­ ped that to a 36-24 bulge at halftime. In the third frame, TK dumped in 21 points to Lee's 11; even the final quarter was all Middleville, 18-17. Senior Steve Miller again topped the Trojan scoring effort, hitting for 25 points. Dave Karel dumped in 17 points and led his team with 12 rebounds. Tom Schwartz had 13 points and 9 rebounds, followed by Eric Hannapel s 6 rebounds and 2 points. Scoring by other members of the team: Jerry Steele 6; Jeff Mathiesen 2; Jon Joretti 2; Mike Myers 4; Todd Courts 1 and Jon Scott 3. Middleville played Comstock Park on Tuesday night and will meet Godwin at home this Friday night. JV's Post Second Victory of Year The Middleville Junior Varsity made it two in a row with a 69;47 win over Lee last Friday night. They had previously won their season opener with Maple Valley on December 7, 57-42. In the Lee game, the JV’s had balanced scoring to keep on top of the Rebels. In fact, the game was “over” after the first quarter as Lee had a tough time scoring. Doug Fox was the Trojan force in the middle as he had 16 points and 11 rebounds, plus blocking four shots. Randy Stickney had a good game with 13 points and a game high of 18 rebounds and 5 assists. It was the type of game where everyone got to play, providing the entire bench with valuable game experience. Happy Holiday Saint Nick's lighting the way to see that you have the bright­ est Christmas yet. ELDON NEWMYER, D.C MIDDLEVILLE A CtatetM Wislt Enjoy a Yule in the season's true mean­ ing.

In the Maple Valley game, the Trojans also got balanced scoring as 4 of the 5 starters were in double figures. The guard play offensively was outstanding as Kurt Henry and Mark Tasker scored 32 points between them. Doug fox had pulled in 18 rebounds while blocking 5 shots. Henry snared 16 rebounds, while Randy Stickney pulled in 11. Frosh Whitewash Lee Rebels, 83-27 The Trojan Freshmen handily defeated Lee High last Friday with a lopsided 83-27 score. The game started off with a quick tip from Tim Mesecar to Jeff Page, who put the ball in for two points. Later in the first quarter, David Elies, Trojans’ leading scorer, took advantage of Ross Sprague’s quick passes, giving Sprague 4 assists, while Elies went on to lead the first half scoring by extending the Trojan lead to 43-20. During the Second half, Brad VanSickle, scoring 8 points, and Kevin Kidder, making a 3-point con­ version giving him a total of 7 points, led the Trojans onto the high scoring victory of 83-27. Scoring for the Trojans were Elies 15, Martinez 10, Verlinde and VanSickle 8, Kidder 7, Sprague and Page 6, Kenyon, Scott, Garner 4 each, Mesecar and Kuehn 3 each and Steve Egleston and Scott Olthouse, 2 apiece.

The game looked as if it could be a blow out in the first quarter, as the Trojans were unstoppable, outscoring Wayland 21-11. The second quarter was a different story as the Trojans didn t score a basket but did play good defense, holding Wayland scoreless also. The Trojans still held a 21-11 half­ time lead. The third quarter saw the trojans again very cold and scoring only 2 points to Wayland s 7, as they cut the Trojan lead to only 5 points as the fourth quarter began.

Ml 49333 PLEASE CALL 795-9277 Wednesday Evening Appointments Available �Prairie Sketches with LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VANRHEE Rod and Kathy Bracy went to Charlotte Saturday to visit with Rod’s folks. Thursday evening Kay Link got together with some friends for a potluck supper. Their grandson, Chris VanderMeer spent the weekend with Gran­ dma and Grandpa Link. On Sunday Don and Kay visited with Don’s mother. Saturday the Henry Hoekstra family enjoyed the Hoekstra family Christmas at Peace Reformed Church. Herm and Joyce Karel were there too. Jodi VanRhee went with the United Methodist Youth group on a shopping trip to Battle Creek Saturday. ... .It’s almost here - are you ready? Most of the time I can ‘rationalize’ my bad habits and am now convincing myself that the reason I’m never really “ready” is that as soon as Christmas is here, it s over. And I d like to keep that special feeling a little longer. (Of course, if I’d start right away preparing for next year, it would last all year, wouldn’t it?) We enjoyed the programs by the elementary students at the auditorium last Tuesday and Thur­ sday evenings. Lucky us, and lots of others, who have grandchildren, or children, in both West and McFall. The program was great and the most positive feeling I came away with was that the kids sang like they were having a great time, and it showed. Good work. Finally caught Mrs. Hunt at home - it is a busy time, and she’s been doing some paper hanging. She said daughter Laine came home from Ferris over the weekend and they went to a family Christmas gathering in Paw Paw. They’re looking forward to having Laine home for the two-week Christmas break. Fritz and Alice Steiner, Tom and I were among the many who enjoyed the hospitality of the Middle Villa Inn Saturday night at the annual Bradford White Christmas party. And Prairie neighbor Fred Schenkel was one of the lucky gift certificate win­ ners. (see, good things happen to new grandpas.) Mr and Mrs. Ozzie Parks and two children of Dekkerville spent Saturday night with their aunt, Mrs. Ruth Klump, and returned home Sunday morning. On Sunday Ruth accompanied daughter Mabel Foote and granddaughter Cindy to Flushing to see Linda, Mitch and Jon Komarmy. Greg Chase and girl friend of Grand Rapids at­ tended church and had dinner with grandparents, Clifford and Jennie Davis. Mike, Kathy, Brett and Kelly Bremer spent Saturday in Muskegon where they visited family and helped her brother, Dale Tuttle, celebrate his birthday. Tom and I were supper guests of Mike and Kathy Friday night in honor of Tom’s birthday. Then we all went to the home of Dann and Fran Tobin on Ir­ ving Road to help grandson John en celebrate his 2nd birthday. Sue Enders and boys, John Bremer and Kellie Hamman were also on hand for the fun time. Cindy Wenger said all their free time’ lately has been spent helping to prepare for the Peace Refor­ med Sunday School program which was presented Sunday night at the high school auditorium, (a good job - we attended that one too, for granddaughter Lindsav Bremer). And right here is a good time to congratulate all those associated with the Wenger farms for honors received at the recent DHIA (Dairy Herd Im­ provement Association) annual awards meeting. The Phil Benders went Christmas caroling with their church on Sunday night. John Bremer and Kellie Hamman were Sunday dinner guests at our house and spent the afternoon helping us to get the tree up, lit, and all the other ‘decking of the halls”. Our thanks to them - it was fun. We look forward to coming events - to the live nativity scene (in front of Dr. Shumay’s office) and the Christmas Eve candlelight service that have become a part of our annual observance. We an­ ticipate the arrival of our families from Kentucky and from Shepherd, Michigan in the hope that we shall all be together for our Christmas gathering on Sunday. We even look forward to no Sun and News for (just) one week ... but we will be calling you right after the holiday to get all of your news. Please share all the love you get for Christmas and pray for Peace. USE THE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS! PHONE 795 3345 ST.
