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.

DENNIS MARTIN MOVES TO K.C. regretted leaving the board. “The present Board of Education demonstrates a sin­ cere interest in the total system • the stu­ dents, the faculty, the administration and the community. As a Board, we have made and must continue to make a con­ centrated effort toward binding these seg­ ments to achieve their total support,’’ he said. “The Booster Club, the P.T.A. groups, the Sun and News, as well as other supporting businesses and clubs, are all good indicators that the community sup­ ports the Thornapple Kellogg School sys­ tem.” Martin has accepted the position of vice president of sales and marketing for Cram­ er Products, Inc., in Kansas City, Kansas For the past three yean he has been with AIS Construction Equipment in Grand Rapids Pancake Day The Middleville United Methodist Men and Youth groups are sponsoring their 2nd Annual Pancake Day on Saturday, January 16,1982, Pancakes, sausage and beverages will be served from 7:00 a m. to 7:00 pm. in the fellowship hall of the church.

(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.

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. All it takes is a phone call.” In May 1980, the Mulligan legislature CALEDONIA Scots Push Record to 6-1 With Two Victories passed a law that ordered the Michigan Public Service Commission to develop a lifeline rate structure for the state's two largest electric utilities.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ranch Stickney got the ball with less than 10 seconds left on the clock as he drove the lane. His first shot missed, he got his rebound and put the ball back up. The ball fell through with just 4 seconds left and the game went into overtime. Some bad breaks fell toward the Trojans in the overtime as Randy Stickney drove to the basket and made the shot but was called for offensive foul. 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. The young Trojans dis­ played excellent desire and control in a close game and excellent sportsmanship in a hard loss. Next time maybe the breaks will fall the other way.

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.

Daisy was a long­ time Prairie resident and will be remem­ bered by many. 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.

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.

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 CLARENCE COLBURN To the Editor . 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. Johnson AN EAGER FATHER As 1 sit in eater frustration I ponder the baby’s destination. What will it be, our bundle of joy. Will it be a girl, or will it be a boy. When will it all start? When will it all end? When will it be my turn the baby to tend? For several months you felt the baby wiggle and squirm. When are you going to give me my turn? Suddenl; in the middle of the night, “I think it’s time!” you exclaim with de­ light. And now begins our long-awaited plight. 1 anxiously yell out in my moment of haste, “You pack the doctor, I’ll call the suitcase!” We make it to the hospital in record time the car screeching to a stop on a dime. I’m mixed with emotions of happiness and fear As they bring you your very own wheel­ chair. It won’t be long now, the moment is here. I just want you to know, I love you, dear. Thank you Lord It’s a mirade, that’s true It’s a very special gift direct from You. Whether it’s a girl or Whether it’s a boy, It’s our very own Our bundle of joy! by Terry Cooley (whose wife, Teri, is expecting their first child “at any time”) Use Sun and News Classifieds!

Last Thursday Sue, Brad and Brian Enders, Kathy and Brett Bremer and 1 enjoyed lunch out and a visit to the Shrine Circus. 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. Judy Harrison reports one of their nannys gave birth to triplets last week. Can spring be far away when the animals start multiplying like that? The Phil Bender family enjoyed roller­ skating with their church group Tuesday night. The Larry VanPuttens went to Grand Rapids Sunday to help grandpa Van Putten celebrate his 83rd birthday - and to belatedly celebrate Joann’s birthday also. Joanne took a Discovery Group of Campfire girls to the Shrine Circus on Thursday night. The girls also had a peek inside the lobby of the Grand Plaza and were suitably impressed. (Now, why didn’t we think of doing that when we were there?) Dann, Francyand Jennifer Tobin, Tom Brenda and Lindsay Bremer were Sunday dinner guests at our house. Tom and Brenda later helped celebrate her grandpa’s birthday at the home of Ted and Jamie Stone. The biggest thing of the day was that we all made it in to church, and that everyone got home be­ fore the road was completely obliterated. So quickly the time passes for it was one year ago today (Wednesday) that Tom’s mother passed away. We remem ber with love.

Sympathy of the community is ex­ tended to the family of Qare Colburn, who passed away on Sunday. Clare was known to many as he managed the Villa Bowling Lanes for many yean. Ethel Gibson received a letter from friend and neighbor Jessie Raymond, who is spending the winter with her son in Tennessee. 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. Consequently there was no school for most of the month. Then two weeks ago on a Monday ni^it we had a sudden sleet storm and I’ve never seen things get so completely paralyzed in 30 minutes. The four main highways leading into the city were closed to all traffic, people stayed overnight in the malls and the motels had people sleeping on their dining room floors using table­ cloths for blankets. I know now why everyone panics when slipper snow or ice is predicted These streets are narrow with no shoulders, and if you slid off the pavement, you are other in an open ditch or over an embankment. ” Mrs. Clare Bender flew to Ontario last week due to the sudden passing of her father. Mr. Jim Ross of Cambridge. Driving over to attend the funeral were Mr Gare Bender. Bruce and Kim Bender and sons. Jim and Cindy Bender.

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.

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.

Going into the game tied with Hamilton for first place in the OK Blue league, Middleville lost little time in establishing who was in charge. The hot Trojans never gave up the lead from the first moments, and many times were ahead by double their visitor's score The Trojans will meet the Hawkeyes again this season in their final game - in Hamilton. This Friday the Trojans travel to Kelloggsville. Shown above pacing the Trojans is Steve Scon (14) who led the team with 16 points. �Page 2 / February 11, 1982 / The Sun and News, Middleville, Michigan Churches United Disband; Give Boosters Money After serving the Middleville commu­ nity for fourteen years, the remaining committee members of Churches United have elected to discontinue the organiza­ tion. 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.

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.

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. We watched the front of the train snaking its way between huge cliffs, around curves and over trestles, with occasional glimpses of frozen waterfalls and even at times Lake Superior way off in the snowy distance The roadbed is marked with mile markers along the way and you are given a guide of the scenic points so that you can al­ ways have your camera at the ready.

Hair. 509 The past week wasn’t kind to the Fighting Scots as Caledonia fell from a contender's spot with losses to Hamilton 57-61 and Hudsonville 77-81. 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.

Gadder residence, at 418 Johnson Street, Caledonia, Michigan. All interested persons may attend the public hearing and be heard with regard to the requested special land use. 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.

The Robert H Schuller Institute for Successful Church Leadership announces a weekend Film Workshop entitled “Pos­ sibility Principles for Growth.” The five films feature Dr. Robert H. Schuller. Senior Pastor of the Crystal Cathedral of Garden Grove. California, and the inter­ nationally weekly televised Hour of Power as he lectures on the church campus dur­ ing the Institute for Successful Church Leadership The Workshop will be conducted by Mr. Vem Hoffman. It will begin Friday night. February 26. from 7:00 to 10:00 pjn., through the next day. Saturday, from 8 a m. to 4 pjn. at Peace Reformed Church, Middleville. This Workshop is designed specifically for Pastors and the lay people of the local church, and churches of all denominations are invited to bring or send a delegation. The focus of the Workshop will be to share with all churches how the church can be­ come most effective as a mission in the community by: Recruiting the Laity to respond to God’s priorities and identify with His saving agenda; Training the Laity to look to the future with imaginative anticipation. Mobilizing the Laity to reach unchurched people by finding their need and filling it - finding their hurt and heal­ ing it and, in so doing, introduce un­ churched people to a vital, growing rela­ tionship with Jesus Christ and His Body, the Church. Diagnostic and prescriptive tools for church growth will be shared with the Workshop participants. Wilbert B. Eichenberger, Executive Di­ rector of the Institute, says that these are the same five lectures bom out of Dr. Schuller’s desire to share “growth prin­ ciples” with neighboring churches, which he has been giving to thousands of church leacers from more than fifty denominattions over the past decade. The Film Work­ shop brings these lectures to you. Over the last several years, local churches have hosted this Workshop throughout the United States and Canada, making it possible for thousands of lay people to participate.

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. Jimmy with his quickness and Steve Scott’s heady thinking. Keep the lights on the scoreboard constantly blinking With outside firepower from Brian and Gordie ‘Smooth’’ This is a team that’s really on the move. With awesome rebounding from big Kerb and young Perry. Life for opponents can get pretty scary. Bill Schwartz is the key. with his hustle and desire To turn this team on and set them on fire. The final five guys, yes. they too can play They give it their all. every single day. VanSickle and Miller, Noah. Meyers and LaPierre When they get in, there’s excitement in the air. The man who has turned this group into a team. Well, his name is Skip, and of the crop he’s the cream. Now this team is sitting atop of the Blue. But no one knows yet just what they can do. So keep it up guys and please don’t let down. Cause this football school would love a basketball crown!

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.

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.

Almost a century has passed since Silvio Dolza heard a Sicilian clergy­ man assail the steam engine as the “devil’s invention" History, of course, has proven the clergyman wrong. 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.

Will these boys be the future newscasters of tomorrow'* These students are shown in front of two of the nine backdrops used in the production of TKMS News. 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.

Martin Boysen and Mark DeYoung were selected from a group of seven out­ standing Middleville high school seniors to represent the local club at the leader­ ship camp. James Schierbeek and Michael Dugan were selected as alternates. All of these young men are members of the Top Ten of the Class of ’82.

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.

SOCIAL SECURITY EARNINGS REPORT DUE BY APRIL 15th People who received at least one Social Security check in 1982 and who earned more than the annual exempt amount last year have until April 15 to file an annual report of their 1981 earnings. Robert Fleminger, Social Security district manager in Grand Rapids said recently. 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. The number for the Western Michigan Poison Center is 800-4424571 for the 616 area only or 800-632-2727. statewide.

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.

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!

But please take a few moments to reflect on mothers and children in develop­ ing countries who lack even the basic necessities of life we take for granted.” “Your generosity helps women to lift themselves out of poverty and make a better life for themselves and their famil­ ies. You make CARE’s motto a reality’ SurvivaFToday - Self Support Tomorrow.” Ms. Whittemore pointed out that it is not too early to be thinking of Mother’s Day.

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.

I sympathize with the kids and teachers who are on spring break this week - what a bummer! Am surprised we haven’t seen whole flocks of robins packing their bags and heading back south. Heard this morn­ ing we should put out dog food for the robins until the snow is oft the grass that’s well and good if you could figure a way for the robins to get it and not the neighborhood dogs Judy Harrison had no news - only that they were glad her folks, the Elmer Wiesenhofers, were back from their stay in Florida.

It was supposed to be his mom’s birthday dinner, but the weather had a hand in travel (or not to), so we were happy to be stand ins. Also guests for dinner were Dean Petersen of Adnan, Liz Taylor and daughters Wendy and Holly of Grand Rapids. Dave, Sue Enders and boys did get to Grand Rapids on Sunday night to bring a cake and wish his mom, Dorothy Enders a happy birthday. The Dann Tobins were Sunday din­ ner guests at our house, and in the evening I went with them for supper with the Ken Bremers and to the Easter Cantata at the Wayland United Methodist Church.

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.

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 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 . . . .

Sunday morn­ ing. My neighbor’s patio cover tore loose and took off airborne, just missed my car, landed upright next door, but also missed his car. Did tittle damage to his screened in porch Between Irene. Mr. Bailey and I, many limbs (large) came down, luckily no damage to our mobile home. Had the big crane in Sunday to get limbs of trees off the power tines. 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. Sunday John and I had dinner with Laneta and John on their patio - a little going away party, then to John’s at night for cards, pie and ice cream. Sharon and Larry Rab, Anne Browne, John and I attended Osolo Theatre Saturday afternoon for “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Then they headed for * home, Dayton, Ohio.

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.

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.

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. Plans Set For May 15 Annual Bike-A-Thon Linda Solomon, chairman for the Middleville St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Wheels for Life Bike-a-thon. has announced the names of key volunteers for the May 15 event.

Pat Albert,6396Gurd Road, is our prize chairman. “Our committee people are giving their time and talent to help in the fight against cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases,” Solomon said. “With volun­ teers like these, our ride has to be a great success.” Funds raised help support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the largest childhood cancer research institution in the world. 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!

Last week in Illinois, the first of the “fifth generation’’ was born, and I’m sure mom looked down and smiled.

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.

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.

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.

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.

King Strikes Out Ten For TK Win Over Panthers The Middleville varsity softball team won one and lost one in league play last week. 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. Sue King pitched her best game of the year, striking out ten and walking only four. She bad lots of hitting supports as her team mates banged out 18 hits. Sally Fox. catching for Marcia Smith, had 3 extra base hits, a double, a triple and a home run. She also caught an excellent game. Marcia Smith, Mary Funk and Denise VanMalsen each had 3 hits also. Deb Yacynych had 2 hits. Jill Smith and Deb Weeks each had one hit. Marcia Smith, playing at 3rd base foe the first time made a couple of outstanding plays. Not incidentally, the team only had 1 error for the entire game.

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.

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. This includes teachers, friends, neighbors and anyone interested in a potluck picnic dinner. Time is 1:00. Bring your own service and drink. Coffee furnished.

Soccerfest Super Success The Middleville Second Annual A.Y. S.O. Soccerfest held last Saturday was a great success. 14 teams and over 200 kidsparticipated in the all-day event. 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.

How can the Rev. Billy Graham say that Christian people in Russia are not persecuted when just recently the K.G.B. came into a new church just dedicated and used hoses and other equipment to wreck it completely. They are sending Christians to mental institutions in Siberia and prisons of torment. We are so lucky in America. Happy 40th Birthday! 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.

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. Last week’s results: Middleville 5 - Hamilton 2 1st singlesChris Noah won 6-3,6-1 2nd singles: Steve Scott won 6-1,7-5 3rd singles: Del Buxton lost 3-6,6=3,4=6 4th singles: J.

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.

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?

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.

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!)

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.

Mail this form TODAY... when an advertisement for the No. 4 carbonated beverage pointed out that many other carbonated beverages contain caffeine. 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!" A much wiser passenger pushed the alarmist aside , 1962' f Paga 5 and threw open the door to discover a bright, fresh and inhabitable new world Quite simply, there was no place else to go! And so it is with us We can continue to huddle in the darkness, fearing our selves and those around us. counting and coddling our possessions, coveting the possessions of others, slowly choking to death on our silver spoons until either our misery and civilization evaporate in a blinding light, or like the deer carcass depicted at the end of a long winter, we are found rotting just 20 yards from the feeding station Or we can open the door! If we have guessed wrong our demise will be swift and honorable but non-theless our demise If we have guessed right, as Americans have done so many times in the past, we will together find a new world of opportunity and a more abun­ dant life W'hat foolish logic dictates that a Creator to Whom so many have always entrusted the future of this nation would somehow now revoke and deny blessings and rewards to a people who continue to — in the words of Kipling — "fill the un­ forgiving minute with bO seconds worth of distance run?" Whether we be God-fearing churcK going Christians, or agnostics believing simply that somehow some wav. good triumphs over bad in the end. it is an age to exhibit some faith in our Faith And in so doing, we will some day surely, proudly, and rightfully take our place beside the many who each in their own time and turn preserved and oft times strengthened what our 1bth president described as the last best hope of mankind Sincerely.

JAMES BABCOCK 942 Greenwood, Middleville Phone 795 7298 REPRESENTING LOWELL GRANITE COMPANY Fair Deal FDIC r WITH OFFICES IN CALEDONIA AND DUTTON, MICHIGAN 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 “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.

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.

Iowa Rose n riff raff from the Grand Rapids area. Sweet Corn String Band of Kalamazoo and the Hotmud Family from New York state. "We’ve had some of these bands at our previous festivals.’ . says promoter Tim King, "and enjoyed their ujnique combinations of different country music styles. On August 1. we want them to have their day when the best of these contemporary bands will appear together.” The Hotmud Family recently celebrated its tenth anniversary. The distinctive sound of the band with six albums under its belt draws from the strengths of more than 50 years of country music traditions: a style with the rhythmic lilt and instrumental virtuousity of the old-time string bands combined with the expressive vocal technique and sweet harmony singing common to bluegrass and country music. They have performed in the United States. Canada and Europe. Iowa Rose n riff raff has become a favorite at the Thornapple Music Festival in recent years. The band has been on the circuit developing a show of bluegrass, country, old-time. folk, rhythm and blues and swing music using both acoustic instruments with a touch of electric instruments. Lost World String Band began as a traditional string band and has also moved into the other areas of American Country music. Like the other perfor­ mers. Lost World has been traveling a circuit where they can branch out and perfect their combination of tradition and contemporary styles. Footloose is. making its first appears nee at Charlton Park with a style of music it labels as country-grass. 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.

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.

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.

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.

CATTLE AT 12:00 NOON Music Festival at Charlton Sunday The Thomapple Music Festival at Charlton Park near Hastings is going country for its third show of 1982 on Sunday August 29. Everything from the original coun­ try music of Ernest Tubbs and the Texas swing of Bob Wills to the modem music of Charlie Daniels, with some bluegrass thrown in for good measure, can be expected from the four bands performing. On stage will be the Dirk Rivers Band. Horsefeather, Four Wheel Drive and Stone Oak. The music at the fund raising festival for the county owned park begins at 11:30 a.m. The Dirk Rivers Band has attracted a large following in the Grand Rapids area performing the newest in coun try and progressive country-rock music at the top night spots. The band is well known for its high energy shows punctuated by dual guitar work. Four Wheel Drive, on the other hand, has gained its reputation at Bowsers in Kalamazoo and other area clubs from its versions of traditional country music. The band highlights its shows with pedal steel guitar and fiddle. Horsefeather also built its reputation in the Grand Rapids area. The band re-formed with some new mem­ bers two years ago to widen its repertoire to include bluegrass, traditional and progressive*country music. Stone Oak is the only out-of-state band to appear at the third Thomapple Music Festival. Based in Madison. Wisconsin, a city noted for its musical talent. Stone Oak bills itself as a band that performs bluegrass, newgraaa and western swing The Thomapple Music Festivals, begun in 1975. are set apart from other music shows because they take place in the center of a restored Historical Village of a hundred years ago.

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.

Ripen out of the sun or - to speed up ripening • place the peaches in a brown paper bag. Keep fully ripe peaches refrigerated and use within two or three days. For a break from peaches, consumers can enjoy Paula reds, a late summer apple with the flavor and texture charac­ teristics of a fall apple.

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. At least 75 pints are needed. Subscribe to the Sun and News for only $8 00 per year Less than a postage stamp a week! The TK Board of Education will meet Monday. September 13.

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.

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.

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. My young cousin made these for her dad to take to his office party last Christmas, and they were so popular, she set up a temporary business and took orders to provide them for other holiday festivities. Coloring Contest Winners Two sets of gran­ dparents were made happy last weekend with floral arrangements won for them in Thor­ napple Floral and Gift's coloring contest. Shown at left are Steven Bierens, 4. son of Mr. and Mrs Adrian Bierens of 7380 Bouman Drive, Mary Ann Baerman representing Thornap­ ple Floral and holding a winning arrangement, and Shannon McMurray 7, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert McMurray of 7315 Middleville Road.

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.

(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.

(Continued on Page 11) Ray’s Page TK Youth Football Program Underway �THE SUN AND NEWS. MIDDLEVILLE. MICH. 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.

The banquet has been scheduled for Saturday, November 13 at the high school cafeteria and will be potluck once again The pictures will be distributed at this time. The Youth Football would like to give special thanks to the Middleville School system for all their help and cooperation in the Youth Football program. It is really appreciated.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CLASSIFIEDS CAN SELL IT! CALL 795-3345 By Richard J. Choryan, O.D. > WHAT IS ASTIGMATISM? Astigmatism is a vision condition in which images at all distances may be distorted or blurred. 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.

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. Also doing good jobs during the game were Julie DeMorrow, Michelle Errair, Tracy Burtch, Misty Knox, Kris Wohlford, Tammy Jeffery, Jeane Streeter, Becky Dawson.

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. All items must be washed. Clear, green and brown glass must have caps, lids or meta] rings removed.

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.

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). Characteristics of 11 to 13 Years Physical: Individual children reach adolescence at different times; girls reach sexual maturity one or two years earlier than boys; Rapid physical growth often results in awkwardness; Boys worry about body size, especially if small; Girls are preoccupied with breast size; menstruation frequently begins. Emotional: Restless and moody; Need attention, are noisy, act silly; Influenced by and still depen­ dent on parents to a large extent; Girls especially have much affection for older women; Much fantasy and day dreaming (e.g. science fiction and rock stars); Very self centered; Needs physical contact • girls express this affectionately with other females boys through roughhousing and punching; Need to show independence. Social Cognitive: Strong identification with same sex (parents, teachers, peers); Enjoy playing active games and sports; Boys especially enjoy roughhousing and practical jokes; Some girls act like “tomboys”; Interested in how things work, tinkering; Develop more awareness of the world, of people and events beyond own family; Often feud with opposite sex; Much bickering and conflict with siblings; pick on smaller ones, “bug” older ones; Short attention span; Are becoming concerned about what other people think; Draw conclusions from what they see; Need to dress like their peers— Need to show independence; Need to choose friends; Wait until the last minute to do things. Parents of 11 to 13 year olds find that: Girls sometimes seem too independent; Tension among siblings is very frustrating; Kids seem deaf and vary self-absorbed, they don’t pay attention or “forget” easily; Influence of peers becomes more important. !J COLUMBUS DAY SPECIALS Limited Supply — Hurryl TWIN $59 BY BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counselor Sail in for SLEEP BETTER .Al, OCT .9 NO'N^soOPM- counselor’s corner 30 DAY LAY AWAY AVAILABLE AT NO EXTRA CHARGE MASTERCARD and VISA Old U.S. 131 & 124th Av*.

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.

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.

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. It’s nice to see so many fans coming out to the field and giving their support. We hope to see you all again this Saturday night. The Middleville banquet has been scheduled for November 6 at the high school cafeteria. We would like to be set up between 5:30 and 6 so we can start eating by 6.

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.

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.

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. Rain delayed matches quite often which made the day seem longer than it really was. Darcy Wingeier lost her match to Hamilton 2-6.46.

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.

A communication from Caledonia Community Schools thanking the council for painting the crosswalks for the school children was read. Trudi Stawick from the Caledonia Branch Library presented two bids for the enclosure at the library. Bids for S4500 and S5750 were read and discussed.

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.

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.

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.

The key to the game was Middleville's fast break as they scored numerous baskets from it. Sue Kaechele had a very good night as she scored 13 points, had 5 steals and 5 assists. Jane Bryans followed with 10 points. Mary Funk had one of her better games with 6. Laurie Hooper had 4 points, with Jill Smith contributing 3.

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.

In the “cool” Byron Center gym, the girls needed the first quarter to ‘warm up.’ After they did, they played a good defensive game and made 56% of their free throws.

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. In this game, as in every game a quick gambling team defense, excellent team passing and fine team shooting were the difference in the game Scoring: Steeby 8, Hannapel 8, Moretti 10, Gray and Kris Wohlford 4, Frey 2, Tanya Cooper 2 and Michelle Errair 1. 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.
