MI 49058 comp The, Sun and News Your Hometown Newspaper Serving Middleville and Caledonia TWENTY CENTS JANUARY 6,1983 • MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 113th YEAR • NUMBER I Delay Action on Summer Tax Proposal The summer tax collection for local schools will be decided sometime this month. The TK Board of Education tabled a resolution asking for a 50% collection thia summer to a special meeting to be held on Monday, January 31. The board must petition the township boards to collect the tax no later than February 1. At the meeting this Monday, the TK Board (with three members absent because of illness), heard comments from various township officials and citizens concerning the summer tax proposal. Superintendent Gerald Page indicated that the school would be in a much better “cash flow” position if half of the annual taxes were collected in the summer. As it now stands, reported Page, the school has to borrow money in anticipation of the property taxes, and thereby must pay a high in­ terest rate for this money. 'Phis past summer the school borrowed over 1600,000 to meet expenses un­ til revenues came in. Page stated that the poor payment schedule of state aid monies also com­ plicates the matter. Under the proposal for a summer tax collection, the tax bills would go out in July and have a payment deadline of September 1 before they would be delinquent. The winter tax schedule would remain the same as it is now. Township officials present (from Thomapple, Ir- How Do YOU Feel About a Summer Tax? There is a prospect that property owners in both Thomapple Kellogg School district and Caledonia Community School district may be asked to pay half of their school tax in the summertime. What is your feeling about this proposal? Here is an opportunity to communicate your wishes to the respective school boar­ ds, by returning the "ballot" below. You may want to clip it to a letter explaining why you "voted"as you did. Mail it to the President of the Board of Education, TK School, Middleville, MI 49333 or President of the Board of Education, Caledonia Community Schools, Caledonia, MI 49316. Perhaps your viewpoint will help the Boards of Education make their decision before the end of this month. [ | YES, I would favor paying 50% of my school taxes in the summer. NO, I would prefer the school tax collection remain in the winter, as is now done. ving and Yankee Springs) expressed concerns about changing the tax collection timing. Some wondered TK Board to Decide Issue January^ 31 if people would have the funds to pay a summer tax without resorting to borrowing. Under the new law, the school district and the townships (there are eleven in the TK district) must negotiate a collection cost. If they are unable to agree, the school and the county will have an opportunity to negotiate for the county to collect the tax. If that fails, the school district itself then can collect the tax directly from the taxpayer. Senior citizens present at the meeting expressed concern that they would have to wait until the end of the year to file for their property tax refund from BILLBOARD COMING EVENTS IN THE LOCAL AREA Caledonia Womens Club The Caledonia Womens Club will meet at Lodema Schroeders next week January 13. Arlene Hodgkin­ son will have the program on legislation. Please note the date. the State. This would put some senior citizens on fixed incomes in the position of having to borrow money to pay their summer tax. Farmers present wanted to know if they would be liable for payment of the summer tax. It was poin­ ted out that the law would exempt farmers if they chose to be and would pay their entire tax at the winter collection time. Board members felt that during this month of January they would be given more time to hear citizen input and have a better understanding of the summer tax proposal before making a decision. Caledonia to Hear Summer Tax Idea At Jan. 18 Meeting The Caledonia Community Schools Board of Education will be conducting a hearing on Tuesdav, January 18, for the purpose of discussing a summer tax collection in their school district.

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

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

It was Mart’s turn for milking, so the guests were fellow farmers who could give a hand. The men also went to one of the others’ farms for the 4 a.m. milking. The Mike Bremers spent Christmas Eve and the day with Katy’s folks in Muskegon and enjoyed visiting with her sister Jennie and fiance from Min­ neapolis and sister Lorie from Ferris State.

JANUARY 6.1983 Doornbos’ Celebrate Silver Anniversary TK SEVENTH GRADE BASKETBALL TK 43- Hamilton 31, TK 19- Hamilton 18 The TK 7th grade basketball team defeated a scrappy Hamilton team to remain undefeated after 3 games. The high scoring Trojans opened up a 2313 lead at the half and widened it to 30-17 after three quarters. The final score was 43-31. The young Trojans are averaging 44 points per game for the first three games. Leading the scoring was Tim Mesecar, scoring a season high 16 points, followed by Brian Verlinde and Ross Sprague 11 points, Dave Elies and Jandt Herweyer 2, and Brad VanSickle 1. Rebounding duties were held down by Mesecar, Verlinde, Elies and DeYoung. Ross Sprague and Jeff Page did fine jobs of controlling the ball and assisting on baskets. Brad VanSickle and Herweyer also handled the ball well breaking the Hamilton pass. Unlike the A game, the B game was a real thriller. The Trojans held a 15-8 lead at the end of the 3rd quarter. The Hawkeyes broke loose in the 4th quar­ ter and scored 12 of the last 14 points of the game. Fortunately for the Trojans, 2 of those 12 were ad­ ded to the Trojan score when a Hawkeye made a basket at the wrong end. With Middleville holding a 17-16 point lead and less than a minute to go, John Gamer scored a basket to put the home team up by 3. The Hawks scored the last basket and the Trojans held on for a 19-18 victory.

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

The one in Mid­ dleville will be located in the United Methodist Church and will be sponsored by the Middleville Women's Reading Club with Mrs. Elizabeth Palmer as chairman. People in need will receive vouchers and come to their local food bank to redeem them. The community's part in this venture will be to collect non-perishable foods. Churches, factories, service organizations and individuals will be invited to contribute. More information will appear in next week s Sun and News. Time to Order Trees for Spring According to Greg Beuschel, Tree Chairman for the Kent Soil Conservation District, orders are now being taken for the annual Spring Seedling Sale. Available this year are Red Pine, Austrian Pine, White Spruce, Blue Spruce, Carolina Poplar, Autumn Olive and the Wildlife Packets. The packets contain approximately 75 seedlings with half conifers and half shrubs and hardwoods. New on the list this spring are White Pine and Honeysuckle. White pines reach 80 - 120’ in height and will attain a 2-3’ diameter. Needles are 2-4” long. The White Pine should be planted in shade up to 70%. Grows well on well drained sandy soils but does best on rich porous moist soils. The Honeysuckle is a fast growing shrub with dense, medium green foliage. On good sites it will branch extensively and reach a height of 8-10 feet. It will product red berries in 3-5 years after planting. It will grow on a wide variety of soils, clay loams to sandy soils. It will tolerate some shade but will product most fruit in full sun. Prices range from $8.00 to $20.00 for 50 and $75 to $350 for 1000. Intent of the District tree program, according to Beuschel. is to supply local property owners with trees and shrubs for wildlife areas, erosion control and windbreaks at a reasonable price. Order blanks and more information may be ob­ tained at the District Office, 3321 Plainfield or by calling Patti Stefans at 361-5345. Orders are to be filled on a first come, first serve basis with a deadline of April 1 for the program. Scots, Trojans Clash Friday What’s the term ...? Barnburner? That's what it could really turn out to be Friday night when Middleville takes on rival Caledonia at the TK gym. Both clubs are among four basketball teams in the OK Blue who have identical records at the top of the heap. Both teams have had flashes of brilliance and both have ex­ perienced dismal performances. But, past records seem to be tossed out the window when these two towns meet on the basketball floor. Better get there early for a good seat, ’cause fans will probably be hanging from the rafters! Blood Pressure Clinic This Week The Blood Pressure Clinic sponsored by the American Red Cross will be held next Tuesday mor­ ning, January 18, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the VFW Hall on Main Street, Middleville. All ages are welcome and there is no charge.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Basic requirement for the openings should be a resident of the im­ mediate Middleville area so that response time to the ambulance is minimal. To be a licensed Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), the ambulance personnel are required to take training that consists of 150 hours. This schooling is underwritten by the township. Those persons interested may attend an in­ formational meeting on January 31 at 7 p.m. in the Township Village Fire Station on High Street. Applications will be available at the meeting. Persons having questions may con­ tact Mike Hula, the ambulance coordinator (795-7557 evening) or Fire Chief Bob Kenyon (795-3369 days and 795-3373 evenings).

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

TROYER THURSDAY. JANUARY 1983 A t Your Public Library By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistant Alternative Energy Books I hope someone is getting half as much out of reading these columns as I am getting writing them. Before including a book. I try to skim through it so I’m prepared to advise the public on which are the most appropriate for their needs. It’s a good way to keep informed. This week I would like to discuss some books that explain alternative energy methods. Everyone seems to be increasingly con­ cerned about current energy' methods, some for economic reasons and some for ecological reasons. Many solutions have been suggested. The key is finding the right one for you and your home. If you have no idea what the phrase “Alternative Energy Methods” means, you need some broad, basic books to begin with. An excellent starting place is with Low Cost, Energy-Efficient Shelter for the Owner and Builder, edited by Eccli. This book is by no means elementary (some pages look like a foreign language to me) but covers many options and explains what alternative energy is all about. Another enlightening book is Successful Alternate Energy Methods by James Ritchie. Many alternative energy methods are in their in­ fancy. Many are older than the hills and just forogtten until now. Whether they are old or new, you owe it to yourself to get the best and most efficient for your money and lifestyle. That is precisly wh^ John Keyes wrote Consumer Handbook of Solar Energy for the United States and Canada. His point, that some methods’ and models’ ability is dependent on variables such as location and installation is well taken. He also explains equipment, how to select a dealer and offers suggestions on which equipment works best at your precise geographical location. There are four alternative energy methods that are the most widely employed at this time. These are wood heat, solar energy, wind power and placement of homes (i.e. earth sheltered homes, windows facing the sun). Most authors recommend combination of these methods, especially in climates like Michigan. They do, however, stress that these alternative methods are reasonable, workable, economical solutions to the energy problem. In the past few years I’ve joined the ranks of believers in solar heating. The chief persuader was my brother, a student at Jordan Energy Institute. He convinced me that even in climates such as this, that solar energy may be utilized by employing passive systems (collects heat for use on cloudy days). For additional information on solar energy check out: Solar Homes and Sun Heating by George Daniels and At Home in the Sun by Davis and Lin­ dsey. The latter book offers a home tour of solar dwellings throughout the U.S. Wind Power for the Homeowner by Donald Marier has some interesting ideas on how to harvest the wind as an energy sour­ ce. Many people have been using wood heat as a sup­ plement to their furnaces. The public library has numerous books on history of. using and installing wood stoves as a primary heat source. One of the best is The Complete Book of Wood Burning Stoves by Svins. Earth Sheltered homes sounded very unappealing to me at first. Upon seeing one and looking at pic­ tures of many others, I’m admitting I was wrong. They appear comfortable, light and efficient. Both Underground Houses by Roy and Earth Sheltered Housing Design by the Underground Space Center, University of Minnesota, could be explored for fur­ ther ideas. The energy crisis is not as critical today as it was four or five years ago. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that we never had an energy crisis, but a shor­ tage of useable energy. It is a fact that fossil fuels are an exhaustable resource. We will be dependent on other methods. The time to start thinking and working toward alternative methods is now. Your pocket book will thank you and your conscience will be eased. TAX PREPARATIONS Typing Service*Photo Copies*Office Supplies Kermit E.

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

JANUARY 20.198.' have caused financial problems for some life in­ surance companies which had sold policies authorizing loans to policyholders at fixed interest rates capped under state law at 8%. This Housepassed bill will give life insurers the option of of­ fering variable rate policies, not to exceed 18%. My vote: Yes. More Fees. With the support of the affected groups. I voted for House-backed bills to hike plumbers' and electricians' licensing fees. The fees have not been adjusted since the 1960s and will raise $245,000 an­ nually to help fund the enforcement of the state con­ struction code. Mobile Home Amendments. I supported several House-passed bills concerning mobile homes in­ cluding: a measure providing that the Mobile Home Commission's regulatory authority not extend to homes outside of mobile home parks; a bill to regulate seasonal mobile home parks on a less stringent basis than permanent parks; a measure mandating local building inspectors to inspect all newly-installed mobile homes and furnish to prospective tenants a certificate of occupancy; a bill to raise mobile home dealers' licensing fees to help fund the operation of the Mobile Home Commission. Younger Officeholders? The House rejected a proposal constitutional amendment lowering the age requirement for legislative service from 21 to 18.1 voted yes. Property Tax Amendments. This measure, now law, makes several technical changes in the General Property Tax Act. I successfully sponsored amen­ dments that will enable property taxpayers to protest their assessments by mail; insure that protestors who appear in person get a hearing before the board of review and receive word of the final decision; and, allow for larger boards of review in areas where large numbers of protests are filed.

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

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

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

Baby’s Eyes; Birth to Four Months At birth, a baby can see patterns of light and dark, but specific objects will probably be blurred. In these early months, a baby should begin to follow slowly moving objects with his or her eyes and begin to reach for objects. This occurs first by chance and later more accurately as hand-eye coordination and depth perception begin to develop. In the first four months of life, you can help your child's visual development by: • Changing the position of the crib frequently and changing your infant's position in the crib to aUow the child to respond to light from different direc­ tions. • Hanging a mobile outside and above the crib to provide variety and movement. • Keeping reach and touch objects within baby s focus, about eight to twelve inches. Objects should be large enough to prevent your baby from swallowing them. • Talking to your baby as you walk around the room, giving him or her a target to follow and helping him or her associate hearing and seeing. • Alternately holding your baby in your left and right arms during feeding. the 8th.

Wheel chairs have priority, so we never got into long lines. They were so good to us. We stayed at Howard Johnsons at Buena Vista. The bus picked us up right at the door. The handicap ones run every 10 minutes, they have chair lifts which are wonderful. Future World is divided into two sections. The one section we spent all of Wednesday viewing. We visited Spaceship Earth, Communicore East and West (a passage way to other buildings) Universe of Energy, World of Motion, Journey into Imagination, The Land. Each of these huge buildings had many interesting things. Spaceship Energy and Motion you rode into space. Also many food places. Wednesday evening we rode the bus over to Magic Kingdom to the Contemporary Hotel where we attended a dinner theatre party on "The Top of the World" (15th floor) Thursday we did the "World Showcase" across the lake and walked all around it, 1 Vi miles. My legs told me about it that night. They are Mexico, China, Germany, Italy (where we had our lunch), Japan, France, United Kingdom, Canada, and American adventure. Almost all had circle vision pictures, gift shops, food bars and restaurants. Again, wheel chairs were well taken care of. We went back to see the Universe of Energy again on Friday and also had dinner at the Mexican restaurant. Very beautiful setting with a lake in the center that one could ride in the boat. All these countries have native people in them, again many people around. We arrived home about 6:30, tired and happy to have had a chance to see this miracle of miracles.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Michigan Tree Tapping is on Hand for Michigan Syrup Producers Indian legend says that when the world was new. syrup flowed freely from maple trees. But the Great Spirit decided that anything so good and sweet should not come so easily and has made it hard ever since to collect and process the maple syrup. Maple syrup production was popular with the In­ dians all over Michigan even before the arrival of the first French explorers. Maple syrup and sugar were items for barter among Indians living along the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River. In the Grayling area, Indians were still making maple syrup until the late 1800s. Indians used crude and time-consuming methods, but they worked. They hollowed out logs and placed the sap inside of them. After heating stones in a fire, they placed them into the logs amid the sap. This process was repeated until the sape was sufficiently heated to form steam which evaporated the excess water out of the sap. turning it into syrup. Early American settlers improved upon the In­ dians' method of processing sap by incorporating wooden buckets and then later on, metal buckets and equipment. Maple syrup had become a major source of sweetening in the United States and reached a peak of 4,132,000 gallons in 1860. Impor­ tation of sugar cane after the Civil War, however, caused the decline of maple syrup production because sugar cane was cheaper and more efficeint to produce. During World Wars I and II, production increased slightly when sugar cane became in short supply, but it never again reached its peak of the late 1800s. In 1981. Michigan ranked fifth in the nation for maple syrup production. Syrup production in the state gives about 700 commercial producers and a number of hobbyists a gross income of 2.5 ^o 3 million dollars for producing 90,000 to 100,000 gallons of syrup a year. Michigan has ranked as high as third in some years, depending upon weather conditions. However, Vermont and New York have always been the unchallenged leaders in maple syrup production: ranking first and second for the produc­ tion of 545,000 and 331,000 gallons of syrup respec­ tively during 1981. Trailing the leaders were Wisconsin and New Hampshire, with Michigan pulling in fifth. On a national level, these five maple syrup producing states increased their production by 45 percent inl981, producing 1, 410,000 gallons of syrup in comparison to 973.000 gallons in 1980. Maple syrup has traditionally been a secondincome for many small, family farms. However, due to the growing number of corporate farms and in­ creasing specialization maple syrup production has experienced a decline from what it was about 50 years ago. Larger-scaled maple producers are utilizing newer technology with modern aluminum-sided sugar houses. Most of the newer and larger producers also use plastic tubing to collect the sap. The tubing runs from tree to tree, collecting the sap and delivering it to storage tanks outside the sugar houses. Tubing has proven to be a more cost-effective, efficient method to collect sap. unless the operation is very COGENERATION: Making Energy Work Harder YOUR MESSAGE IN THIS NEWSPAPER REACHES OVER 4 000 READERS EVERY WEEK. TRY US! Ph. 796 3345!! small or if the operation would have to be totally converted from the old bucket collecting system. Most producers - large or small - commonly use an evaporator to steam off large amounts of excess water from the sap. Once the sap increases to a cer­ tain density, it is transferred to the finishing pan which heats the sap to just the right temperature that turns it into maple syrup. Although using modem methods has become a necessity for most maple producers, older producers who have been involved with syrup production for a long time still collect the sap in metal buckets two or three times a day during late February and early March. Some even still use the quaint, wooden sugar-houses which are sometimes seen scattered across the countryside. But there is one thing modem technology will never change. Maple sap must be boiled to obtain syrup, just as the Indians boiled the sap using their repetitive stone-heating methods in order to capture the flavor and the delicacy of real maple syrup. In this area, we have a number of sugar maple and black maple stands. Check with the landowner before tapping any trees on private property. Equipment necessary for maple syrup production is minimal, but a few items will increase the efficiency of the operation. These items include: 1) a drill with a 7/16 or Vk inch bit. 2) a metal collection spout for each taphole. 3) a collection containier (bucket or plastic bag) or tubing line for each taphole, 4) a large pan and heat source for boiling down the sap. Size will depend on amount of sap involved. 5) a large scale thermometer calibrated at least 15 degrees above the boiling point of water, 6) wool, orlon or other type filters for filtering finished syrup while hot. 7) storage facilities and containers for the finished syrup. Tapping in this area begins in mid-February so taps should be in place at that time.

Middleville EER A system that makes the Midland Nuclear Cogeneration Plant more efficient will make world history as the first such commercial system powered by nuclear fuel The system uses a process called cogeneration. Basically, that means that the exhaust heat left over from generating electri­ city is captured and reused. Most generating plants do not have a cogenerating system, so that excess heat is wasted. Making Midland a cogenera­ tion plant means more efficient use of energy resources, says the plant’s owner. Consumers Power Company. At Midland, the exhaust heat will be used to produce what is called process steam. That steam will be sold to Dow Chemical Company, for use in Dow's neighboring industrial complex. A large portion of the Mid­ land nuclear plants total cost is attributable to equipment needed to produce the steam This amount—approximately 25 percent of the plant's total cost— will be paid by Dow when it buy's steam, rather than by Consumers Power’s electricity customers. Producing steam is like heat­ ing water in a tea kettle, where heat from the stove is transferred through the kettle to the water inside. At the nuclear plant, three separate water systems will do basically the same thing. The nuclear reaction process, called fission, produces heat in­ side the nuclear fuel; that heat is absorbed by the surrounding water in the “primary” system. This very hot water, under high pressure to prevent it from becoming steam, is then piped to a steam generator. There, water in a second sys­ tem surrounds the steam genera­ tor pipes. The pipe walls transfer heat from the hot water inside to the cooler water outside, much like the tea kettle on a stove. The second system’s water becomes so hot that steam is formed. This steam is piped to a tur­ bine. There, it exerts force against turbine blades, giving up most of its energy and causing the spinning action necessary to drive an electrical generator Then, some of this used steam is piped to another set of “tea kettles” called evaporators. Those evaporators contain water from a third system. .As the steam passes through pipes in the evaporators, its remaining useful heat is again transferred outside, turning the surrounding water to low pressure steam. This new steam is then piped to Dow’s plant where it is used in Dow’s manufacturing process.

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

Lean _ Tender BEEF . Cubed Steak W!l" County Civil Service Exams. I supported House and Senate-backed bills making it a felony for county of­ ficials to give civil service job applicants an advance copy of the exam or the test answers. Save Deposit Boxes. This new law repeals the requirement that a safe deposit box be sealed upon the death of an owner or joint owner and the conten­ ts inventoried by the county treasurer. I supported ending what has been a hardship for survivors and an inconvenience for treasurers. CALEDONIA. Ml BEEF (cut from ROUND) Boneless Rolled Swiss Steak HOMEMADE Expanding and Limiting Property Tax Abatemen­ ts. The House and Senate approved legislation to in­ clude research and development laboratories, hydro-electric dams operated by private companies, and speculative buildings under the definition of property eligible for locally-approved industrial tax abatements. However, this program would be tightened to prevent abatement districts from being designated after plant construction already has started. My vote: Yes. lb.

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

The TK Eighth Grade basketball team defeated previously unbeaten Byron Center 30-25 on January 19 to improve their record to 5-2. The Trojans played almost perfect basketball during the first half, lead by Randy Stickney’s out­ side shooting. The Trojans took an 8-4 first quarter lead and a 20-8 halftime lead. As the third quarter progressed, the Trojans played even with Byron Center and by the beginning of the fourth quarter held a 26-15 lead. The Trojans then went cold and began to make some critical mistakes, turning the ball over a number of times. The mistakes allowed Byron Center to get back into the game. Late in the game. Byron Center was able to close to 5 points, but the Trojans were able to hold them off. The game was the best the young Trojans have played so far this year and they should be congratulated. Leading the Trojan scoring were Randy Stickney 12, Scott Rodgers 8, Kurt Henry 6 and Mark Verlinde and Doug Fox had 2 apiece.

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

Ernie and Pearl were married in 1922 in Hastings and have lived in the Middleville area all of their married lives. The Vermeulens have two daughters, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Mulford (Marjorie) and Mr. and Mrs. Keith Wilson (Norine) all of Middleville. They have five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. The family asks that your gift to Ernie and Pearl be a card on this happy occasion. Their address is 8O22‘/i Irving Road, Middleville, MI 49333. Meeting in special session on Monday night, the Thomapple Kellogg School Board of Education voted to impose a summer tax collection on property in the district. Under recently enacted legislation, school districts may seek either half or all of the tax revenues raised on property during a summer collection period. The TK district decided to ask taxpayers for 50 percent of the levy this coming sum­ mer. According to the law, the district must now inform the townships that collect the tax money to institute the summer collec­ tion. If the individual townships and the school can agree on the cost of the collec­ tion, the taxes would be levied by the townships and then turned over to the school. If the townships and the school cannot agree, then the school has the option to negotiate with the county as the collection agency. If this fails, the school can collect the levy themselves. At the board meeting Monday night, the people in attendance were given an opportunity to voice their opinion of the summer levy. Most comments were negative, with some people voicing the opinion that a summer levy might alienate school supporters. It was pointed out that full-time far­ mers, senior citizens that qualify for homestead exemption, plus disabled tax­ payers can defer their summer tax until the fall collection time without penalty. The summer tax collection would be from July 1 through September 15, with those taxes not paid during that time going delinquent. On January 18 the Caledonia Com­ munity Schools Board of Education voted to seek a summer tax collection also. The Caledonia district receives all of their operating funds from local taxpayers. School officials point out that a summer levy will allow them to operate from a bet­ ter “cash flow” position. As it now stands, according to the schools, the tax money they receive comes after more than half of their fiscal year is over. They must, therefore, borrow money to continue through the year. "We estimate that we can save over $50,000 (in interest paymen­ ts) next year if we have half of our tax levy in the summer,” said TK Superintendent Jerry Page. Local township officials are currently estimating their costs to determine how much the summer levy will run. The town­ ship and school districts have 30 days to negotiate a tax collection fee. Decorations Committee Says Thanks Band Concert Sunday The Thomapple Kellogg Music Department will present a Midwinter Band Concert featuring the Middle School 7th and 8th Grade Bands on Sunday, February 6, at 3 o’clock, in the Middle School gym.

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

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

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

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

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

Ml Remember Valentine's Day QfllC, Mon., Feb. 14 «>*** Prescription drugs are potentially dangerous and the user should know what he or she is taking. From the doctor or pharmacist the patient should find out the name of the prescribed drug; what it is supposted to do; its possible side effects; what to do about them. The patient or the parent should be sure he or she understands how the medication is to be taken. Also, the doctor should be asked whether alcohol is allowed while taking the medication, and told about other drugs the patient is using. Medicine given to a child should be measured ac­ cording to direction and given at the specified time so that the child will associate precaution with drug use. The child should also be taught that this medicine was prescribed for him or her only, and that no one should use another’s medication without the doctor’s approval. It is unwise to stress the bright color or pleasant taste of a child’s medicine. If it is palatable, the child is more likely to take it withOout fussing, but the association of drug use advises parents never to pretend that medicine is candy, lest the child raid the medicine cabinet and risk being poisoned. Prescription drugs can also be drugs of abuse. A significant percentage of such medications as barbituates and amphetamines are sold through illicit channels. Many people who do not think they have a drug problem go from doctor to doctor ac­ cumulating prescriptions for tranquilizers and sleeping pills. Many use over-the-counter drugs habitually and recklessly. Doctors should take the time to give adequate explanations about prescriptions and should be sure they are understood. More than one patient has stopped taking a vital medication because of the in­ convenience. while others have assumed that if twotablets daily help, four will help more. Obviously it is dangerous for the layman to make such decisions. Patients should not hesitate to ask their doctor questions or to report reactions.

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

The lead seesawed throughout the first half, but Caledonia came out with a 26-25 lead. The second half saw Caledonia increase its lead as the Scots combined a great offense with team defen­ se. as the Scots went on to defeat the Rockets 61-45.

Caledonia was kept in the game by guard Ron Schultz who tallied 12 firsthalf points. At the end of the half, the Scots found themselves down by three, 21-24. Caledonia came out more aggressive in the second half as they had regained the lead at the end of three periods. The second half saw a new Fighting Scot leader emerge in junior forward Mike Wilson. Wilson paced the Scots with 10 third quarter points, and 13 in the fourth, as Caledonia went on to defeat the Rebels 56-44.

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

Thank goodness my week started on Sunday where a quiet hour of chur­ ch (hopefully) injected me with enough inner for­ titude to cope with the foibles of daily life for another few days’ Last week I looked up some old Sun and News to see what we were doing on the Prairie 20 and 25 years ago, and you know it was just as calm in mid­ winter than as it is now. Did come up with an amazing - to me • fact, and that is I ve been doing this for more than 20 years. Time for a change! Who out there would like to take over for me and work with Janette on Prairie? You might get awfully tired of hearing about our grandchildren! And. speaking of grandchildren - it was neat to watch 5-year old Brad become involved in a Lassie movie on cable TV this week. With no commercial interruptions to break the spell, he was really in­ volved and worried when all the bad things hap­ pened and equally joyful at the happy ending. Fun!

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

With the enormous task facing us, this is no time to be playing games. It’s time for teamwork and a sensible discussion of the “real world” crisis at hand. We see taxes as a last resort, not as a first suggestion. We have some fine minds in both the Senate and the House and excellent administrators, fiscal experts, professional staffs, and budget analysts at our disposal. With all this talent, is the 43.5 percent tax hike the best we can do? I don’t think so.

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

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

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

St. Jude Bike-a-Thon Set for Middleville The Central Regional Office of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital announced today that Ms. Linda Solomon has agreed to chair the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Bike-a-Thon in Middleville. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital was foun­ ded by entertainer Danny Thomas. The institution opened its doors to the public in 1962 to combat catastrophic diseases which afflict our children. St. Jude Hospital is non-sectarian, non-discriminatory, and provides total medical care to over 4,200 patien­ ts. At St. Jude, scientists and physicians are working side by side seeking not only a better means of treatment, but also the causes, cures and prevention of these terrible killers. All findings and information gained at the hospital are shared freely with doctors and hospitals all over the world. Thanks to St. Jude's, children who have leukemia. Hodgkin's disease, sickle cell anemia, and other child killing diseases now have a better chance to live. The Bike-a-Thon program is dedicated to "Terry.” Terry was diagnosed with leukemia in March of 1978, and began treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Today she is well and off all medication. Terry is a living example of the progress and success of the research, patient care, and educational programs of this internationally recognized hospital. The concern which Ms. Solomon has for the work being done at St. Jude is greatly appreciated. The children hope that the citizens of Middleville will wholeheartedly support the upcoming Bike-a-Thon. Gospel Singer in Concert At Local Wesleyan Church Lynnelle Pierce will be presented in concert Sun­ day, February 6, at 6:00 p.m. at the Middleville Wesleyan Church.

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

Robert Vincent of Byron Center Middleville’s Seventh Grade Basketball Team Wins OK Blue The Seventh Grade Trojan basketball team defeated a much improved Hamilton squad 26-24 to capture the OK Blue Tournament championship. The Trojans overcame a disastrous first half which saw them fall behind 11-2. They scored 6 unan­ swered points at the very end of the half to go in at half down 8-11. In the third quarter, the Trojans came alive and tied the score at 20 going into the fourth. In the fourth quarter each team became cold and could only muster 2 points. The regulation time expired and the Trojans and Hawkeyes were tied at 22. For the first 2:59 of the 3 minutes overtime, each team could still muster only one bucket. This set the stage for a very exciting finish. Center Tim Mesecar was fouled when going for an offensive rebound as the buzzer sounded. Tim stepped calmly to the line with no time on the clock and sank the first shot of a 1-1 and the Trojans became the 1983 OK Blue Champs. Although it was not one of their better perfor­ mances, the young Trojans must be commended on how they hung in there even when things would not fall their way. Tim Mesecar scored a game high 12 points, Brian Verlinde had 8, Jeff Page 4 and Dave Elies 2. Ross Sprague had a disastrous shooting game and was held scoreless for the first time this season, but his ball handling and passing con­ tributed greatly to the victory. Others playing well were Jandt Herweyer, Johnny DeYoung, Joel Degood and Spencer Miller.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At half time the Scots held a com­ manding 20-3 lead which allowed all Caledonia players to see action in the second half. The final score was Caledonia 38, Hamilton 17.

Michig an .MiddJerilie S*a «»d THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17.1M3 Craig’s girl friend, Debbie Bosma in Grand Rapids last week. About 80-100 folks attended the venison potluck dinner at the Sportsmens Club Saturday evening. Everyone had a grand time. Merle Barnaby and wife entertained with a pantomine and Rocky Tolan was presented with a three foot tall salt shaker so he could shake a little on the deer’s tail next year so he can catch him. I always enjoy these dinners as I see so many persons that I seldom ever see any more. Everyone did a great job. Ah, sweet thoughts of spring! One morning last week about 8:30 my phone rang and I jumped out of bed to answer. It was none other than Tip Finkbeiner calling to order his raspberries which I will pick next July. Thanks, Tip, for the order. John and Marguerite Oosterhouse. Larry and Marcia Gehl, Harold and Marge Mulder, Bill and Judy Mulder and daughter Liz all went to Savory Street Saturday evening for dinner, and afterwards went to Harold and Marge Mulder's home for dessert to celebrate the 70th birthday of their mother, Marguerite Oosterhouse, which was on Valentine’s Day. Mr. and Mrs. Warren Tape were Sunday evening dinner guests of Fred and Pam Tape and family. Doris Loring spent Monday with daughter Judy Frantz. They both went to the hospital in the after­ noon as grandson Dennis underwent knee surgery as an out-patient. Tuesday, February 8 was Chinese New Years at the Cherry Valley Junction restaurant with a 12- course dinner. About 45 attended. Mrs. Leonard Ganzel, daughter Edith Rykert, two gran­ ddaughters and niece Laura Mae and Doris Loring attended as guests of Mrs. Ganzel. Lyle and Margaret Stauffer went up to Bitely last weekend to visit Bernie and Jean Stauffer and en­ joyed their visit with them. Both were well. ROVING REPORTER Wt/» HAZEL McCAUL Here is my poem that I wrote for our introduction to Michigan night. You might not know these facts either. MICHIGAN - THE HIAWATHA LAND Say “yes” to Michigan This has been our slogan for the past year. Everything in the year • could happen here! Michigan with 4 different seasons - one good reason. Four distinct regions - Upper Penn. W.Mich.E.Mich A SE Four inland seas. This brings the work! to its ports in a breeze. Where else in the world wouldyou find so much to do With so little ado about it? 3000 miles of shoreline, longer than from Florida to Maine That 's the scope of it! Never more than 85 miles from one of the Great Lakes, That 's the size of it! 11,000 inland lakes, to bask, fish, swim • for pity sakes 36.000 miles of rivers, streams, just vacationers dreams Many choices of places to stay MoUls. hotels, resorts - sure can have fun each day All you have to say is Michigan And vou ’re in the greaUst staU and land. — Program Z— Now that our program is over We hope that we nave enlightened you About our state Did you note the map on the wall?

So come to Michigan We will welcome your stay (between May to November) Than back to Florida — remember? • For the program different people talked about their territory - some from each area. As to the map, I had looked up each person's home town in Michigan, wrote their name on paper with their block number here, then a string to their area from their name on the wall. Most centered around West and Each Michigan areas. We have 52 Michigan families in our park and they most all turned out for me for the potluck at 6 oclock. Jerry Colborn, Wayland, is here with me for the month of February. Friday. John. Jerry and I at­ tended the Dog Races at Bonita Springs, also the Shell Factory at Ft. Meyers. Bob and Amy Finkbeiner of Caledonia spent Thursday afternoon with me. also called on Bea Wenger. Bea tells me that Verne came thru his gall bladder surgery on February 4 with good results. We hope this will solve some of his problems. Orrie Martin was with Bea during surgery. Nice to have folks nearby.

East of Whitneyville Fighting Scots Extend Blue Streak To Five Straight The Caleaonia Fighting Scot basketball team in­ creased its conference winning streak to five by beating two league opponents last week. On Tuesday, the Scots hosted the Bulldogs of Byron Center. The first three quarters were very low scoring as Byron Center held the edge 33-31. The Bulldogs took away the Scots running game throughout the first three periods only to have everything cave in during the fourth. The Scots ex­ ploded for 22 points while holding the Bulldogs to 13, as Caledonia went on to win 53-46. Mike Wilson led the Scot scoring attack with 16, collecting 10 in the fourth period. Following closely behind was Todd Marsman with 14. Ron Schultz tallied 9 while dishing out 7 assists. Other Scot scorers were Marc Mitchell with 7, Pete Graham 4 and Chad Creasey 3. The Bulldogs got 16 from Scott Allan and 12 from Brian Silvernail. Marsman led the Scot rebounders with 9, while Wilson and Creasey each grabbed 5. On Friday, the Scots traveled to Comstock Park to meet up with the Panthers. The first two minutes saw Comstock park surprise the Scots as they jum­ ped out to an early 10-4 lead. But Caledonia then scored 18 consecutive points as the Scots ended the first quarter on top 24-12. During the second period Comstock Park narrowed the Scot lead as they outscored Caledonia 18-14 to go into the intermission down by 8, 30-38. The second half was completely dominated by Caledonia, especially by one Scot, Todd Marsman. The 6’5" senior center poured in 18 of his game-high 30 points in the second half, highlighted by a phenomenal 2 hand reverse slamdunk. Marsman also led the Scots with 13 rebounds, 10 coming on the offensive end of the floor, as Caledonia cruised to a 91-63 victory.

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

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

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

Cabbage and potatoes are good sources of vitamin C. while carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A. Carrots also contain some potassium and small amounts of other vitamins and minerals. In the amount nor­ mally consumed, the main contribution of onions is flavor, making the onion a cook’s best friend. Onions are a relatively good source of potassium when consumed as a vegetable. Select potatoes that are firm, relatively smooth, clean and reasonably well shaped. They should not .be badly cut or bruised . sprouted or light-burned with a greenish tint to skin. Store them in a dark, cool, dry place. Dry onions should be market in mesh bags they tend to rot in plastic. Examine dry onions for signs of rotting (soft areas) and greening, both of which contribute to waste. Store onions in a dark, cool, dry area, away from the potatoes. Top quality carrots are firm, fairly clean, well colored and smooth. The diameter should be not less than inch or more than inches. The tops or shoulders of carrots should not be green. Heads of cabbage should be firm and not cracked. Both carrots and cabbage should be wrapped in plastic and stored in the refrigerator. Seek Outstanding Young Dairy Couple The excitement of annual Outstanding Young Dairy Couple competition sponsored by Michigan Milk Producers Association focused on the Detroit area last week as 11 young couples from MM PA districts throughout the state vied for that singular honor.

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

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

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

Dave Karel and Tom Schwartz continued to lead the Orange and Black as Karel finished the contest with 18 points and Schwartz tailed 12. The two also combined for 22 of TKs 35 rebounds. Jeff Mathiesen pitched in six points and five assists. Tomorrow the Trojans will host the Panthers of Comstock Park. TK VOLLEYBALL Last Thursday night the TK JV Volleyball team lost to Comstock Park in a close match 16-14, 15-10. In the first game Abby Gamer had 5 good serves, Taleese Yonker 4, Dawn Bos 3 and Dawn Duflo 2. The second game found us behind from the begin­ ning. DeAnna Lewis served 3 good serves, Maria Hebert 2, Bos and Gamer 2 each. Yonkers and Duflo played well with several good spikes with sets from Kelly Biermacher.

Monday night found the team defeated by Byron Center in a 2-game match, 15-6 and 15-13. Bier­ macher had 6 straight serves, Bos 2, Gamer 2, Duflo 2, Weesie 1. The team hustled for the ball but made mental mistakes. Next Tuesday, March 1, wraps up the JV volleyball season in an away match at Maple Valley. The Trojan wrestling team traveled to Maple Valley for the District Wrestling tournament on February 19 and had six wrestlers place in the top 4 qualifying them to the regional at Bronson next week. As a team, TK finished right in the middle of the 13 teams, tied for 6th with 91 points. Marty Sinke was the only champion for the Trojans. Wrestling as well as he ever has, Marty ran his record to 40-0 as he collected 3 pins to make it in­ to the finals. In the championship match he was facing Jeff Crane of Union City who entered the finals with a 29-3 record. Marty left no doubt who the winner was as he built a 15-0 lead before getting his fourth pin of the day in 3:29. The win gave Mar­ ty the 112 lb. championship with a career record of 151-9 and 94 pins. At 145 pounds, Randy Winchester, who has been improving every week, wrestled well in the fir­ st 3 rounds to get into the finals. In the champion­ ship match Randy was against Juan Solorzano of Union City. A slow start cost Randy his chance at a district title as Solorzano got out to a 6-1 lead and was able to hang on to win 9-6. The Trojans got third place finishes from Brent Cisler, 167, and Mark Lloyd 198. Brent started with a 14-9 win and then added a 10-5 decision before getting beat 5-3 by Pat Grundy of Kelloggsville. Brent then wrestled Brett Emus of Byron Center. Emus had beaten Brent 3 times this year in close matches; however, this time Cisler won the close one 5-4. At 198 lbs., Mark Lloyd started with a pin in 1:35 and added another in the second round in 1:47. In the 3rd round, ‘Mark lost a close 8-4 match to Chris Breen of Kelloggsville. A takedown and 2 point ntMU fall in the last 10 seconds was the difference in the match. In his next match, Mark built an early 8-2 lead and then hung on for a 9-8 win and 3rd place. Placing fourth for the Trojans were Chris Yonkers at 155 and Jeff Wohlford at Hvy. Chris drew a bye in the first round and then won a hard fought 15-12 decision. In the third round Chris lost 8-5 against Bill Roberts of Godwin. In the con­ solation finals, Chris was leading 8-1 and got pinned in a headlock, placing him 4th. Jeff Wohlford drew a bye in the 1st round, then won on a pin in the second. He lost his next two matches on pins to place 4th. Congratulations to the six regional qualifiers. Grapplers Take Lions The Trojan wrestlers closed out their dual meet season on Wednesday, February 16, with a 50-15 win over Maple Valley. Maple Valley won the first match of the night with a 5-2 decision at 98 lbs. Delwin Craven then pinned his opponent in just 22 seconds to get the team on the scoreboard. Maple Valley came back with a pin at 112 lbs. before Marty Sinke got a pin in just 8 seconds to put the Trojans ahead to stay. Terry Sensiba won the 126 pound match with a 17-6 win.

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

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

OWNER 20 YEARS IN THE SAME LOCATION to which someone else was elected shall not be elec­ ted to the office more than once. While some states have laws that state that a governor cannot seek more than two consecutive terms, the Michigan proposal would strictly limit service to any two ter­ ms, consecutive or not. Legislation requiring evaluation and possible termination of at least 30 percent of the state s agencies and programs during the next ten years has been introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives by Republican lawmakers. Under the provisions of the bill, a review committee would inventory the programs and agencies in state government, put a termination date on at least 30 percent and then evaluate the programs on their merits, effectiveness and cost. Constitutionallymandated programs would be exempt from the “sunset" process, but remaining programs and agencies would be required to prove their worth before the review committee terminated them. YOU and YOUR VISION By Richard J. Choryan, O.D. Michigan House Journal Now in Area Libraries In an effort to better inform the public, Stat* Representative Robert Bender (R-Middleville) will begin distributing copies of the Michigan House Journal this week to area libraries. The House Journal contains a complete record ol all bills and resolutions considered by the House, said Bender. It also contains a list of how each representative voted on each roll call. “Reading the House Journal is an excellent way for all my constituents in the 88th District to keep up-to-date on what's happening in the Legislature." said Bender. “I’d like to encourage everyone in my area to visit their local library and stay better in­ formed by using this factual and concise guide to the Michigan House's activities." Local area libraries to receive the Journal will be the Freeport District Library. Freeport: Hastings Public Library, Hastings; Thornapple Kellogg School and Community Library, Middleville. “If anyone has a question or comment on my voting record after reading the Journal I welcome you to contact my office. I look forward to hearing from constituents about any legislative concern.” said Bender. Local Man Meets Governor Signs to Watch For Many parents have asked,“When should I begin to have my children's eyes checked?" All children should have their eyes examined by their eye doctor prior to entering school. If there is a vision problem, it can be taken care of before school. To wait too long can put undue strain on one's eyes or they may fall behind in school because of an un­ detected nearsighted problem. Some signs to look for when trying to determine whether a vision problem may exist are: • Loses place while reading; • Cannot concentrate for any length of time; • Holds reading material closer than normal; • Shows excessive head or body movement; • Tends to rub eyes frequently; • Often has headaches; • Seems tense during close work or while looking at distant objects; • Turns or tilts the head to use one eye only; • Has poor handwriting; • Performs below potential; and • Uses finger to maintain place while reading. These signs may indicate a possible vision problem and an exam should be strongly considered. On February 3, Leo Schondehnayer. a former Middleville resident who now lives in Freeport, had the best 65th birthday ever. Leo. who is a deaf mute and who has not been able to communicate in any way for 63 years, was in Lansing with his friends. Dorothy Kellogg. Phyllis Phenix and brother Clarence Schondehnayer for an evaluation of his potential. Leo got the chance many of us do not get. He had a personal guided tour of the capitol by a secretary to the Democratic Majority leader, and then to top it all off. he was able to shake hands with Governor Blanchard.

The members pay an annual fee and a monthly rental amount that enables them to buy food at the cooperative. The members also must donate a few hours a month toward operating the co-op, which is open three days a week. Membership information is available from Margaret Shaver, 315 East Main. Middleville.

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

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

Leading the pack into Middleville Friday mor­ ning will be New Ixjthrop, last year’s team winner. The New Lothrop team placed nine wrestlers in the tournament, as did Whitehall. To be eligible to wrestle in the state finals, a contestant must have placed among the top four inhs weight class in the regionals. Williamson has eight men in the tournament, followed by the perennial wrestling powerhouse, Montrose-Hill McCloy with seven participants. Montrose finished a close second to New Lothrop in the 1982 finals.

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

I am so happy to say that John H. is walking some by himself with his walker close by, just in case. He has finally found out that he can and now will progress much faster, but there is still the fear of falling that we surely don’t want to happen.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On their initial grocery order to “pick up a few things’’ the tab came to $70! Crystal said milk was $3.85 a gallon, cottage cheese $3.29 and bread $2.25 a loaf.

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

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

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

Dr. Choryan’s patients have been submitting names of their children and grandchildren in the drawing for the bear who has greeted children in his office for several months. Teddy's replacement is probably waiting in the office to greet the small fry, and won­ dering who the winner of the next drawing will be. To help celebrate the Sesquicentennial coming up next year, the Thornapple Kellogg Heritage Association would like to invite all interested people to create a design for their "logo contest. " The rules ae simple and the winner will receive a $25 savings bond, as well as a place in local history. The contest is not for "professionals" only. A good rough design submitted can be reworked to fit the purpose, so get out your paper, pencil, crayons or whatever and enter your ideas. Let’s make this a celebration of participation, not just observation. 1. Any one, any age can enter any number of times. 2. It must contain an identifiable feature of Mid­ dleville 3. It should contain the dates "1834-1984" 4. Entries submitted should be on an 8‘/t”xU" piece of paper. 5. The decision of the judging panel is final. 6. All entries become the property of the Thor­ napple Heritage Association. 7. The deadline is April 13,1983. Please keep the design simple. Remember, it will be reproduced in many ways during the next year. This will become the official symbol of the Sesquicentennial celebration and it will be turned over to the steering committee of the celebration. They will be the ones who will use their discretion for how it will be used and reproduced. Please mail all entries to Mr. G. Donavan Dean, 216 Stadium Drive, Middleville. TK School, Churches Seek Answers To Problems of Community The TK school officials and the ministers from churches in the district have had a series of meetings commencing this past fall. The purpose of these meetings has been to focus attention on some of the problems of the community and how the agencies of the churches and the schools could deal with these problems. Identified as problems in the community have been 1) drugs, 2) alcoholism, 3) values and value judgements, and 4) the general breakdown of families in the community. Both the school officials and the clergy’ realize that these problems are not unique to our school district and the communities within it. They realize that some of these problems are not going co be solved immediately - but, they do feel that it is im­ portant that these two groups of agencies exert all the pressure they are able to, to try to correct these problems, or try to take steps toward correcting these problems. Some of the ideas that have been explored by this group are: 1.Articles will appear in the local news media trying to point out the problems and also pointing out solutions or corrections. 2. Some type of chaplain service is being explored. This could possibly be a service to help students and to help parents who are having problems dealing with students. 3. The third method that was explored is to brin in speakers or people who are knowledgeable about these problem areas into our Community to speak to both students and parents. This is to be an ongoing thing, with these groups meeting once each month. Any community people who might have input into these groups, please feel free to either contact local school officials or their minister. �PAGE TWO THURSDAY. MARCH 10,1983 A Well Deserved At Your Public Library -THANKS The people of the Thomapple Kellogg school system have again demonstrated their ability to work together to make the State Wrestling Tournament a huge suc­ cess. Every person involved in the tour­ nament should be proud of their effort. It is impossible to list every one of the hundreds of people - students, parents and staff - who worked to make this tour­ nament the outstanding success it was, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them for the many hours of hard work. Again we received many compliments on every area of the tournament. Coaches, wrestlers and fans were impressed with the efficiency and cooperation they received from the people working at the tournament. Mr. Lonnie Lowrey, assistant director of the Michigan High School Athletic Association was at the finals Saturday night to observe the tournament. Following the finals he told us that he was impressed with the total program as was everyone else he talked to. As we travel around the state to various events, one of the comments that we often hear is : "Middleville, you are the people that hold the super wrestling tournament. What a community effort that is. ” In closing we would like to again thank everyone who made this past weekend such a pleasure for us. Nothing makes you feel better than to have someone like Tom Casteel, Coach of the Year, and coach of this year's State Championship team, Montrose, say "As far as I'm concerned there is no better run tournament anywhere and you be sure and tell all the people I said so. ” Another comment we heard after this weekend was "coming to Middleville is like coming home because the students^ parents and community treat us so nice. ” Thank you again, Tom Lehman, TK Wrestling Coach Ray Page, Athletic Director DUANE R.

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

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

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

One hyacinth was 6 inches above ground peeking up funeral of their aunt, Mrs. Gertrude Hilarides at through the leaves. I figured if we still get snow and I lose a few I will never miss them. As I was raking I noticed something green which wasn’t my plants but a roll of bills (money). What a shock! Two 10,000 bills, one $100, one $50, two $20, one $10, one $5 and one $2. A total of $20,207.00! Did I call the police. Not on your life! Did I donate it to St. Jude’s Shrine, my favorite intercessor who, how many times have I called on Him with always a favorable response every time I misplace something? (He is my saint of the impossible) No. (sometimes it takes a while but He never fails me) Did I envision a new Easter out­ KENT COUNTY MICHIGAN fit? Well, maybe I did. After showing the money to my husband 1 rolled it back up again and deposited it in my trash bag. You guessed it. It was play money. Probably lost by my neighbor, Chris Durkee, who stashed his play money in a metal breadbox between our garages last summer. I found it and turned it in to his mother. But this roll was beyond using and that is why it looked like an old roll of real money. Did I let you down? Sorry. I came back to eart h too.

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

Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and kohlrabi — are not damaged by frost so, in southern lower Michigan they can be planted in late March or early April. To get an even earlier jump on the gar­ dening season, onions, lettuce and the cole crops can be started inside and then transplanted outdoors in March or April. Warm season crops can be planted in late April through June. Sweet corn and snap beans can be planted in late April. Taylor says, but cucumbers, melons and tomatoes should not be planted until late May. Some warm-season crops, such as tomatoes, melons and cucumbers, can be started in­ doors for later transplanting, he adds. Cool-season crops can be planted again from June through August. The cole crops should be planted in June, Taylor says, while leaf crops can be planted in July and Early August. For a bountiful harvest, gardeners need to meet several basic requirements. One is to plant fresh seed of vegetable varieties recommended for Michigan (see Extension Bulletin E 760A "Home Vegetabel Garden Variety Recommendations’’ available from county Cooperative Extension of­ fices.) Another requirement is to plant crops at the proper time. Cool-season crops should be planted so they will mature during cool weather and warm­ season crops so they will mature in warm weather. The final requirement is to provide adequate nutrients for the crops. Taylor says fertilizer should be applied at a rate of 2 pounds of 5-20-20 per 100 square feet. Half of the required fertilizer should be applied before turning the soil and half after plan­ ting. If manure is applied at a rate of one-half ton per l.OOOsquare feet, only one pound of 5-20-20 is needed per square feet. If you have a soil test run, follow the fertilizer recommendations on the report. Kent County Cooperative Extension Service is an educational unit of MSU. ROVING REPORTER With HAZEL McCAUL My how it rained Saturday night and all day Sunday. Our ground is so soaked that it stands like lakes all around. Report they cannot remember such a wet February. Last potluck was not to well attended but many came for the program of The Cloggers from Venice. They were noisy but they could really clog. Gerry Colbom left for Tarpon Springs Saturday. We took her to Venice to the Greyhound station. She was real excited about the bus trip. Gerry and I with three others went to Punta Gorda Friday and took the 2‘/i hour boat trip out to Cabbage Key. We had dinner there then 2‘/i hours back. Made a long time on the water. Saw a few por­ poises and an osprey on her nest on the top of a marker post. John and Laneta Wilkes spent Sunday evening with Verne and Bea Wenger. A good card game I expect. John and I will spend Monday in Venice with several little errands to take care of. Calmed down this Monday morning. Much debris around the park, palm leaves, branches, etc. Must get going to sell pancake tickets, then off to Venice for the day. See you soon, now. ★★COUPON ★★★★ COUPON ★★ I FDIC WITH OFFICES IN CALEDONIA AND OUTTON MICHIGAN ★ $1°° OFF ★ 25 lbs. Dog Power DOG FOOD I CALEDONIA FARMERS ELEVATOR $1.00-—^^-—, $1.00 �THURSDAY.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A few of the things that have made this year great I (1) The return to a six-hour school day. (2) Curriculum enlargement, i.e. Middle School (Shop - Home Ec - Phys Ed) High School and Elementary Areas (3) Athletics and Activities (4) Libraries fully staffed We feel that the above mentioned things that were returned to our school setting have helped us turn the corner. For a long period of time it seemed we were only cutting programs. We certainly are not out of the woods yet, as the District still has a great many urgent needs. These are exciting times in Education. It seems that everyone is beginning to see the importance of Education to Our Country Our State Our local Area People are becoming involved in discussing the ramifications of all of the various aspects of educating our people. Some of the hotter topics con­ cern (1) Length of school year and day (2) Standards for classes and graduation (3) Requirements to advance and graduate (4) Teacher certification and evaluation These are a few of the issues and there are no simple answers. If you are interested in participating on any school committees, please contact our office. We need public input.

Our student body excelled in many different areas including academics, vocational education, fine arts and athletics. The Board of Education approved the purchase of com­ puters to be used in a computer classroom, and this allowed us to offer two new courses in the high school — Computer Science and Computers and Society. The computer classroom is used every hour of the school day by our stu­ dents. In addition, the community school program is using the classroom fournights of the week. Currently, our high school curriculum ofers each student classes to build a solid educational foundation upon. The high school program is designed to encourage students to become involved in all areas of the curriculum and at the same time make sure that they acquire basic skills in English, mathematics, govern­ ment, United States history, personal finance and science. Basically, most of our students follow one of two educational directions: 1 .College or advanced school preparation. This curriculum choice would include four years of mathematics, English (reading, writing and speaking), and complete offerings in science (biology, physics, chemistry, computers), social science and language arts. 2. Occupation entry courses. This includes business and secretarial training, computer classes, and industrial arts classes. In addition, eighty-five of our students are taking classes at the two Kent Skill Centers. The Co-op program continues to offer many students a chance to work and learn in the community. During the course of the school year many different events and activities took place and should be mentioned here. Julie Kadau and Chris Noah were selected as this year's Homecoming Queen and King, The Student Council had their eleventh annual Christmas Drive in which $800 was collected from the students and donated to the TK Boosters and World Hunger. Many of our students went to Washington, D.C. for a period of one week in a project called "Close-Up." The basic purpose of "Close-Up" was to show how government really works and to expose the students to the men and women who are leaders in Washington. The "Close-Up"project also was held on the local and state levels last year. Jane Bryans was selected as our Daughter of the American Revolution representative. The aII-school musical, "Oklahoma" was directed by Mr. Charles Baughman. The Junior Senior Prom was held at the Hoffman House in Grand Rapids in May of this year. Twenty-seven seniors received American College Test (ACT) scores high enough to qualify them for scholarships in the state of Michigan. Special recognition was given Chris Noah from the NASA Space Shuttle Student Involvement Project 1983. Chris was one of 20 students to participate in this space project from Michigan and Ohio.

The middle school offers many varied classes. All students take math, English, social studies and science. Seventh graders take Michigan history, health, orientation and art. Art was just added this year. Band students do not take the above classes. Eighth graders are required to take shop or home economics. These classes are run on a co-ed basis. Some eighth grade students who are in band cannot take the above classes. Band is an elective and is very popular in all grades. The band totals around two hundred and thirty five students in grades six thru eight. This means that 50% od our students take band. Physical education is required of all students. The middle school physical education program is an excellent program in that it offers a varied curriculum for all students. Our physical education instructors will be presenting their physical education program "Fire Up Your P.E. Student at the National Middle School Association of Educators in Chicago in November of this year. In 6th grade one extra subject is offered that all students is must take which is developmental reading. We feel this class has really helped our 6th grade students improve their reading skills. It also has vastly improved our reading scores on the Michigan Assessment Tests. The Middle School maintains two rooms for special education. There is a learning disabilities room and an emotionally impaired room. Students in these rooms receive individual help from specially trained teachers. These rooms are very effective both in the cognitive and affective areas of learning. The middle school receives help from special services in the following areas: 1. Schoolpsychologist. 2. Speech therapist 3. Physically handicapped consultant (part time) 4. Social worker (part time) We may also call on help from the Kent Intermediate School District. These services contribute immensely to the studen­ ts ' well being. The middle school provides a full time counselor who is qualified to work with many students' problems. This service is used constantly by many students. The counselor is also responsible for many standardized tests that are ad­ ministered. Examples are as follows: 1. 7th grade Michigan Assessment 2. 6th and 8th grade Achievement tests 3. Iowa Algebra Test for 8th graders These tests allow us to maintain a learning profile on our students that will help in teaching and placing them in proper subject areas. The middle school provides a fully equipped media center that supplements the regular program. The center is run by a library clerk. The media center provides fiction, non-fiction magazines, audio visual and many other materials for staff members and students.

Transition back to the six-hour day was smooth and McFall students were treated to an educationally enriching'year. At the end of the year there were 3 72 studen­ ts in attendance at McFall which was slightly above the figure of 368 at the beginning of the year. McFall fourth grades recorded the finest performance of any previous fourth grade class at McFall on the Michigan Assessment Test which is administered annually to all fourth graders across the state. Only one student achieved less than 50% of the objectives tested in Reading and also only one student achieved less than 50% of the objectives tested in Mathematics. Six McFall teachers received training in a program entitled "Individualized Language Arts" which is designed to improve the writing instruction given students. Initial results were so encouraging that during summer vacation the remainder of the McFall staff attended another two-day training of I.L.A. and student writing will receive a major emphasis in 198384. Supported by the P.T.A., McFall established a solid in­ troductory computer curriculum for all K-5 students. Seven P.E. T. microcomputers were in operation with over two hun­ dred software programs available to assist classroom instruc­ tion. McFall students were used as the data base in a physical education research program conducted out of Grand Valley State College to explore the difference in skill level achievement attained by students taught in a traditional set­ ting as compared to students taught in a movement based program. Special physical education programs during the year included evening gymnastics presentations, fifth grade floor hockey tournaments, field day at the high school, 400 meter1 mile runs and a half-time performance at a home basketball game performing movement activities in coordination with the High School Jazz band. March was again declared "Reading Month" at McFall and many special reading activities were planned including: sustained silent reading, classroom "share a book" programs, home reading programs, M.S. Read-a-thon, to name a few. Once again, the Reading Arts Festival culminated the month's activities. McFall students were treated to many special programs through the P.T.A. supported "Art Grant" through the year. Some of the programs included: puppet-making with June Stopples, singing with Carol Johnson, a performance by the Grand Rapids Symphony String Ensemble and trips to Grand Rapids to see a performance of the Mother Goose Jamboree and a performance by the Grand Rapids Symphony. The ex­ posure to the Arts led to a festival night in late May in which each of the classes performed for parents and friends.

Remember those suncatchers you bought last November from that round-eyed elementary salesperson? Do you ever wonder what happened to that money? Or how about that Book Fair in March where you bought that one extra book you really didn't need, just because it was money for our kids? And what mom can forget those Campbell Soup labels — all 20-some thousand of them? What "Mmm, mmm, good" things did they provide for West Elementary? And finally, there were double-exposure pictures, roller skating, and pop­ corn sales. Well, whenever you stumble across an asterisk (*) in the following listing, pat yourself on the back — that little star marks one of the results of your generosity. 1. We were able to go on field trips: to zoos, museums, airports, Charlton Park, to visit with pen pals, and many more. 2. Physical Education returned full time to West, along with a new instructor, Jon Greenman. (Jon also helped organize our Saturday skating program, and directed a free tumbling class.) • 3. Naomi Barber was hired as school psychologist. 4. Mary Lou Passenger returned after a two year abswnce, joining us as our Developmental and Kindergarten teacher. Meanwhile, Tom Jeltes left us to join the Middle School staff, and Bev Swanson signed on as our Develop­ mental room aide. 5. The Arts Program was given a financial injection by our PTA — one new addition being our Saturday attendance at the Grand Rapids Museum Arts Classes. 6. Fourth Grade camping week at Charlton Park. 7. "Let's Get Digital" became our theme as two Apple H computers came West. 8. Stella Morgan retired as our librarian. 9. The Regional Spelling Bee saw TK students take 4 of the top 6 positions. 10. The Pizazz Popcorn Co. came into existence. This 5th grade economics project featured the purchasing of a pop­ corn machine, and the paying off of a $280 loan to the bank. Besides running the total operation, our fifth graders were able to pay for an overnight party at tne end of the year, and leave a legacy gift of two $80 wooden dotI houses to our in­ coming kindergarteners. 11. Our flag pole got re-strung, and old glory got dusted off. 12. Career Day had our school vibrating with your professions. 13. Our cafeteria walls came alive with cartoon charac­ ters, thanks to PE instructor, Jon Greenman. 14. Christmas Make-lt, Take-lt was a big hit, as West teachers presented this present to the parents and students of West. 15. Special Education rooms were reassigned. Each elementary now houses its own program for special education.

REPORT The 1982-83 athletic year had several outstanding highlights. The biggest of these was the advancement of the boys' basketball team to the semi-finals of the State tour­ nament where they lost in a double overtime to Kalamazoo Christian. A Conference Championship was also won in boys' basketball. The girls' softball team won their own tournamen­ ts and their first ever District Championship. The girls' track team won several relay meets and combined with the boys to win the First Annual Barry County Meet. The boys' tennis team also qualified and played in the State tournaments. The 7th grade boys' basketball team and the girls' junior high track team won the league championship. The Athletic Department, with the help of the Boosters, again hosted many events that brought financial help to the school and community. This year we held a girls' Michigan District basketball tournament, the boys' State wrestling meet, the boys' and girls' State Regional track meet, the junior high boys basketball tournaments, the Middleville Christmas wrestling tournament, the Middleville Co-ed relays, the Barry County track meet and the Middleville Girls' softball tournament.

Several new curriculum innovations were tried: Cooperative Learning, 5th Grade math and Science, Spelling, our reading teacher, Linda Hoffman served as a language arts concultant, and too many individual efforts to mention. The nine asterisks you've counted represent your financial support to West Elementary. But it's your day-to-day efforts with your sons and daughters what provide us with our biggest boost. Your children come to us with questions and concerns and things to share. You send them to us for guidance and instruction and enlightenment; and we prepare ourselves for them, knowing that our only truly limited resource is time. We have but six years to build upon your efforts, Mom and Dad, and during that all-too-short a time, we will strive hap­ pily to build on your foundations; or, if necessary, we will begin to erect those foundations. In a few cases, we will have to spend that precious time tearing down undesirable struc­ tures, in order to begin. Whatever tools we pick up at West Elementary to use with your sons and daughters, depends upon whatever tools you did or did not pick up. It's quite a partnership we share. Thank you for your help throughout the year. � https://www.barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/25/693/SunandNews_1983-11-10.pdf 09a46c1cf1ab271962187f812a6aab0b PDF Text Text Hastings Public Library 121 Church Hastings.

The apartments had been fully occupied since 1982, providing housing for senior citizens of the area. Since opening in February of 1982, the income levels for eligibility have been raised to $13,050 for one person and $14,950 for two people. The asset limitation of $45,000 is still in effect, said Mrs. Cox. During the past year and a half, the Housing Commission has established various policies and programs for the welfare of and enjoyment of the tenants. Many of these are reflected in the Tenant Guidelines which serve as a handbook for the residents' reference. Lincoln Meadow has a full calendar of events which include involvement with the Middleville Community Education classes on Monday and Tuesday; weekly bingo parties, coffee breaks and a Bible study group. On a monthly basis, the tenants have a birthday party, a potluck and a blood pressure clinic. At the present time the residents are busy preparing for their Second Annual Bazaar which will be Novem­ ber 19. In the summertime the tenants have a large gar­ den. and they have added two shuffleboard courts and a pool table for entertainment. The Commission on Aging provides meals on wheels and a housekeeping service for those tenants as needed. The Barry County Health Department is also available with a visiting nurse service if n<*#*ded. For mobility, the Barry County Transit buses tran­ sport the tenants on a call basis. “The Middleville Housing Commission is proud of the facility,” said Mrs. Cox. “If you have not had the opportunity to see the facility, a personal or group tour can be arranged.” For more information write or call: Lincoln Meadow Apartments. 500 Lincoln Street.

Dear Boosters and Fans: One of the most pleasant task of being the president of a Booster Club is writing a “thank you” letter and having so many people to thank that you can’t list all their names for fear you’d leave someone out. The fans saw a lot of new faces this fall, however, two people stood out amongst the crowd and if it weren't for their endurance and enthusiasm, I know I would be sitting in a padded cell! They are Marylou Stickney and Gloria V an Art sen! Running a concession stand is no picnic - right, girls? Feeding 1000 people a week (mostly under 4 ft. tall!) is a task that even Chef Tel would find in­ surmountable. I know it will be a long time before a lot of us will be able to look at another Milky Way or a box of Nerds! Not to mention popcorn! And don’t be surprised if you’re invited over to a booster’s house for dinner and you’re served soup! But all in all, it was a good season and we met a lot of new people and made some new friends. Marylou and Gloria were always there - and deserve a great big pat on the back. And to turn a phrase, “behind every good woman is a man” — Lee Stickney and Steve VanArtsen sacrificed their time and their wives to the Boosters, and if you see these people around town, please take a minute to say thanks. The crew of the Booster Boat sincerely thank all of you who worked so hard to keep us afloat this fall. But we are only a small ship in a big sea. Basket­ ball. wrestling and volleyball will be starting soon and the Boosters need your help. We’ve got the In­ ternational Food Fest coming up, the State Wrestling meet, a dance, etc., and we need workers. I wish we could get out our crystal ball and find all the people who want to help out, and we’d call you today. Please let us know who you are. Fill out the form below and have your child bring it into the principal’s office or give it to a Booster. Trust me, if you fill out the form, we’ll call you!

The school brochure illustrates a community which blends agriculture, industry, business and recreation. In this setting the Caledonia Community Schools provides quality education while consisten­ tly operating on one of the lowest millage rates in the area. Of the 62 entries, the brochure was one of only 14 statewide which was given a commendable rating. COMMUNITY EDUCATION DAY (Continued from page 1) “Now that the children are all married and have their own families, I find I have too much time on my hands. My husband and I are both retired senior citizens. He too was lonely and needed something to do. So he found himself a part-time job. One day, as I was visiting my children and gran­ dchildren in Indiana, something came to me. I was talking with my granddaughter about her career. She is sixteen and must start to think about her future. I said something to her and she corrected my English. This bothered me and made me think of my own education. I realized I had only completed the 9th grade. So after much thought, I decided to go to Adult Education classes at Caledonia High. I decided to go to the night classes. I started in the fall of 1980. The first class I took was English. I only took the one class then, because I wasn’t sure if I would like it. I found that I enjoyed it very much. The next year I took “Government” and “Human Behavior.” Last year I took History and English. This year I am taking English and Science. I took a G.E.D. test for Social Studies. I will be ready to graduate in May of 1984. I feel that I have accomplished a lot. I think my English has improved, also my spelling and reading. I have learned alot about our country and our government. I have met a lot of new friends and have gotten over my boredom. I am learing about our universe this year in science. I find all of this very interesting. I would certainly advise anyone who has the time to take Adult Education.” Mrs. Hatie Wiseman obituaries JOSE GALVAN BILLBOARD COMING EVENTS IN THE LOCAL AREA EARL O.

Whenever I submit a legislative proposal to the House Clerk for introduction, I can’t help but won­ der: Will the exercise amount to anything more than a waste of printing and paper? Happily, this year such efforts have not been in vain. Here’s a progress report on the bills I spon­ sored earlier this session. Sunset. After three years of waiting, a House Policy Committee task force is working seriously to develop a legislative process to evaluate state programs. Before we begin redrafting the measure Majority Leader Joe Forbes and I have introduced, the task force is holding extensive hearings. So far we have met with officials from the Auditor General’8 office, the Fiscal Agency, and departmen­ tal planners to study how we can better utilize already available evaluation tools. Sunset legislation faces a long road before it becomes law. But the seriousness with which the task force is tackling this issue makes it the most encouraging project in which I have participated in Lansing. Voluntary Quit Loophole. My bill to close a loophole which allowed voluntary quitters to collect unemployment benefits was added to a measure combining several unemployment amendments. It is now law. Usury Ceilings for Mobile Home Sales. An unrealistically low, 7% ceiling on interest rates when mobile home owners wish to sell their homes directly to buyers is discouraging such financing transactions. The House approved legislation Inin­ troduced to raise the ceiling to 11%. Hopefully, the Senate also will pass the measure before the end of A Fair Deal for Penn Central Lessees. Throughout the state the Penn Central landholding company is putting the squeeze on lessees who have hyilt businesses along railroad rights-of-way now abandoned. Penn Central’s demand: Pay an exhor­ bitant price for the leased property, or the company will sell the land out from under the leaseholder’s business. A House Committee met last week to con­ sider my bill that would authorize the State Tax Commission to arbitrate a selling price based on the fair market, value of the disputed property. It ap­ pears that after amendments are added to the proposal next week, the bill will be reported to the full House for action. Unnecessary Regulation. Also scheduled next week is a House Committee hearing to repeal useless state licensing laws for watchmakers and massage parlor operators. Last year identical bills I introduced moved through the House but died in the Senate. This time, hopefully, the measures will make it through the entire process. Public Financing of Gubernatorial Campaigns. To help prevent gubernatorial primaries from becoming too confused by non-serious candidacies, I have proposed raising the private contribution level from $50,000 to $150,000 before matching public funds run be released to a candidate. Recently a House Policy Committee hearing was held on the bill, and it appears there is interest in compromising the qualifying level at $100,000. Chairman Joe Forbes has promised further committee action on this legislation. Public vs. Private Competition. Because he likes the proposals, an influential House Democrat has reintroduced my bills to: 1) Mandate the State Pur­ chasing office to avoid unnecessary state duplication of services that can be provided more ef­ ficiently by private contractors; 2) Force the state to pay a 1% per month penalty fee to private contrac­ tors when the state is late in making its payments. The House Economic Development Committee Chairman has indicated his interest in acting on the bills, though no hearings have been scheduled yet. Financing Non-Profit Homes for the Aged. Last year the House — but not the Senate — passed a measure I introduced to provide low-interest finan­ cing for the construction of state-certified, non­ profit nursing homes and homes for the aged. The Public Health Committee Chairman has assured me his committee will take up the bill, but so far it hasn’t been placed on the agenda. Once this is done, I am confident the House will again pass the measure. Then the challenge will be to encourage favorable Senate action.

The second quarter again was close but both teams began to find the range and the Trojans took a 10-8 halftime lead. The third quarter was also close, but the Trojans were able to add one point more to their lead. The third quarter ended with the Trojans leading 13-10.

It was 28-0 when the teams left the field for the half­ time ceremonies. Heffner connected with Duflo again for a six yard scoring pass when play resumed in the third period, making it 34-0. Middleville’s scoring was completed when Darrell Smelker ran for 16 yards and paydirt. Wayland avoided a whitewash with scores in the third and fourth quarters.

The third quarter again was almost even, with the Trojans outscoring Hudsonville 4-2 to take a 17-12 third quarter lead. The fourth quarter saw the Trojans go cold and begin to make some costly mistakes as they allowed Hudsonville to get back in the game.

There are certain other infections to which some teenagers now have increased exposure. In these days of relative sexual freedom, many teenagers are having casual sexual relations, and there is an in­ creasing incidence of veneral diseases, particularly gonorrhea, among young people. Because of ignorance or fear, the teenager does not seek treat­ ment and the infections spread alarmingly fast. It is estimated that 25 percent of the one million cases of venereal diseases reported each year is among teenagers. There is a great need for improved sex education if we are to prevent the spread of VD. Teenagers and their parents must learn to speak frankly to ea ch other, and fear and shame must be conquered in or­ der to seek treatment. Doctors must increase their effort to find and report cases of VD. The "Hippie” culture has also caused increased exposure to certain diseases. Lack of good nutrition and poor sanitation where large groups are living together can lead to spread of tuberculosis and other infections such as infectious hepatitis (now often called "hippie hepatitis”). The increase in drug addiction has brought with it an increase in serum hepatitis, which can be tran­ smitted through dirty hypodermic needles. Carriers of the infection, it should be noted, often do not show its symptoms. Tetanus infection among addicts using injectable drugs has also increased — one more concomitant of the problem of drug abuse. While there are many complex aspects to the problem of drug abuse — some of which are discussed in other Public Affairs Pamphlets — doctors and parents should at least be sure that tetanus immunization is kept up to date when a young patient is found to be a drug user.

The story originally appeared as a book around the turn of the century, written by a Topeka clergyman named Charles M. Sheldon. It is reported to have sold over 30 million copies and has been translated into dozens of languages across the world. The film story follows the experiences of Rachel Paige, aspiring young actress, newspaper publisher Ed Norman, and Pastor Henry Maxwell, the clergyman whose unique concept changed their lives. “In His Steps” as a novel came at a time in American history when vigorous social reforms were underway, especially in industrial com­ munities. The film updates these situations, giving the story a contemporary approacy. Pastor Gary Wiley and the church members invite the public to view and appreciate this inspiring film.

You can reduce the chance of plant death by carefully selec­ ting hardy plants, proper planting sites, and the use of some protective measures that will lessen the possibility of winter injury. Plants are injured by several winter conditions. Drying winds, bright sunlight, sudden drops in temperature and low cold tolerances of some plants, can cause damage or death. Indications of winter in­ jury may include scorched leaves, dead flower and leaf buds, premature loss of leaves and split bark. These symptoms may appear immediately or may not appear until spring. Protect trees and shrubs by: selecting hardy plan- RECYCLING THOT by Jackie Schmitz This month’s recycling tip applies to the holiday season of entertaining as well as every day. Plastic or glass food storage containers are far more economical and environmentally sound than plastic wrap and plastic bags or aluminum foil. Leftovers are kept fresh and the containers are reusable, thus preventing waste of a valuable resource. Clean empty plastic margarine and non-dairy dessert topping containers make good food storage containers for lunches and in the refrigerator and keep them out of the trash. Plastic bread bags and other food storage bags can be washed with the dishes and reused over and over again. They can be air dried by hanging them from the refrigerator with magnets. Clean aluminum foil can be recycled and should be taken to any of our three household recycling sites and placed in the appropriately labeled barrels. The Caledonia site accepts clean glass, metal, plastic milk jugs (flattened and with labels removed), newspapers and brown bags. It is located in the Caledonia Foods parking lot on M-37. Clean glass and clean, flattened metal only can be taken to the Middleville site behind the Middle Mart on M-37, and the Hastings site in the fire station parking lot on Mill and Michigan. Labels do not have to be removed from glass but must be removed from tin cans. Tin cans must be separated from aluminum and placed in the marked barrels. Becoming more aware of the creative re-use of containers and recycling glass and metal is just another way of caring enough to protect our en­ vironment through waste reduction. ts, choosing proper planting locations, and following cultural practices. The key to avoiding winter damage is to protect plants from winter wind, sun and heavy snow loads and alternate freezing and thawing. To protect the structure of plants, it is important to locate them away from the roof line or any other snow or ice collecting areas. Plant in locations where snow and ice will not slide or fall on plants, since this can cause damage to branches and trunks of plants. Tie up conical evergreens, such as arbor­ vitae, with soft cord so the branches won’t split apart. Protect tender roots on shallow rooted plants such as roses, azaleas, and rhododendrons. Apply mulches of shredded bark, pine needles or straw, two to three inches deep, only after the soil tem­ perature has dropped. This will help prevent alter­ nate freezing and thawing of the soil, that can push or heave root systems from the ground. Mulches also maintain a uniform soil moisture around the roots. Late fall irrigation, just before the soil freezes, allows plants to take up water during those few warm days of winter. This is especially important for broadleaved evergreens such as azalea. Oregon holly-grape, and rhododendron. Evergreens con­ tinue to lose water during the winter, through their leaves or needles. If they can’t replace the moisture, damage to the plant will occur. Shade plants from cold winter winds and sun with burlap screens, evergreen trimmings or other protective coverings. Protect roadside plantings with the same kind of screens, to avoid damage from road salt. Plastic is not a good material for protec­ ting plants during the winter. Follow these steps carefully to eliminate winter injury from your landscape.

The Senate, with bi­ partisan efforts, refused to be pushed into a comer by the Executive Office. The Governor and his aides got in trouble again. This time they elected to tangle with the Senate; and again, they lost. Just moments before the senate was to reject the appointment of Clifford Allo to the Workers Com­ pensation Appeal Board, Governor Blanchard withdrew the nomination, saying opposition to Mr. Allo made his nomination a "symbol which has threatened the coalition of business, labor and government which we have been building so carefully Nonsense! He didn’t have the votes! The Senate then voted to reject AFL-CIO president Sam Fishman's nomination to the Council for the Arts. Those rebuffs came just a week after the Indepen­ dent Agriculture Commission picked Dr. Paul Ki dinger to head the Agriculture despite Governor Blanchard’s intense pressure to select former State Senator John Hertel for that position. Earlier this year, the Department of Natural Resources Commission named Ronald Skoog the new DNR Director over Blanhard’s objections. And the Governor’s efforts to directly meddle in the af­ fairs of the Public Service Commission were also turned back. There is an obvious lesson to be learned. The Michigan Constitution calls for three independent branches of government — executive, legislative and judicial. It also provides for independent boards and commissions. Nowhere does the constitution allow for government "by fiat" from the Governor’s office. The Agriculture Commission’s selection of Dr. Kindinger was a reaffirmation of the independent commission system in Michigan. The action taken by the Senate sent a loud message to the Governor underscoring its independence and reaffirming the advise and consent process tge Senate holds over gubernatorial appointees. It also told the governor that real bi-partisan cooperation on legislative matters can and will take place for the public good, rather than continued par­ tisan politics. A Republican-sponsored "workfare" program is now moving through the legislative process after receiving the enthusiastic support of Governor Blanchard and Democratic leaders in the Legislature. It is a key component in a $63.1 million legislative Attention Senior Citizens \ LINCOLN MEADOW SENIOR CITIZEN APARTMENTS J Now Taking Apportions for Rental (Rent Based on Income Level) funding package which will provide employment, education and training opportunities as well' as adequate energy assistance to welfare recipients. Negotiations, which resulted in adoption of the bipartisan package, began after Senate Republicans earlier this year blocked Governor Blanchard’s proposed $43 million 5 percent grant level increase for welfare recipients in the current Social Services budget. Republicans in the House and Senate then in­ troduced the workfare proposal which placed the issue before the Governor and squarely on the fall legislative agenda. Specifically, the workfare program, called Michigan Opportunity and Skills Training (M.O.S.T.) Act. requires all able-bodied, employable recipients of General Assistance (GA) and Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) to par­ ticipate in an education, job training or community work program in order to qualify for their welfare assistance. In addition to the workfare program, which represents the most comprehensive change of any welfare program in the country, the legislative package calls for the establishment of the following pilot program: Michigan Community Service Corps: An 18month program involving 7,000 volunteer GA and AFDC recipients who will receive minimum wage payments rather than welfare grants for working in public service jobs. Michigan Conservation Corps: establishes a yearround state park service employing 500 youths now receiving General Assistance. Private Employer Incentive Plan: A program to create jobs for welfare recipients, particularly within small Michigan businesses, by permitting an employer’s wage costs to be subsidized for six mon­ ths by recipient grants. The funding package will also protect the most needy citizens from the threat of utility shutoffs during the cold winter months and will implement a home weatherization program to protect against the increasing public costs of soaring utility bills. Pre-arranged Funerals In recent years, there has been a greatly increased interest in pre-arranged funeral services.' People are realizing the need to record their wishes on funeral services for themselves. They recognize that this takes away the difficult burden of decision making later during the hour of need and assures the family of doing the right things within proper budgets. For some time, this funeral home has recognized the needs and desires of thinking persons to plan ahead. I have developed ways of assisting those who wish to make arrangements in advance. Our funeral home has Quite a lot of families who have so recorded their plans and wishes with us. They appreciate the opportunity to make these wishes known. Most people have definite ideas about the ser­ vices they wish for themselves; specific details such as the minister, the music and scripture readings, flowers, costs, etc. They don’t have to pre-plan their funerals, but they know it’s a good feeling when it’s done and the family won’t have to worry about it! There are three reasons to pre-plan your funeral Economy — You can save money when you pre­ plan by stipulating only as much in service and mer­ chandise as you wish. Personal Choices — You can choose your own clergyman, music, scripture and the kind of service, down to the smallest detail. Inner Security — It is a weight off your mind, knowing that your arrangements are complete, and the costs will not be a burden to your family. In invite you to visit or call about pre-planning your funeral service. There are no costs or obligations, and you don’t even have to pre-pay your funeral to have your wishes made known.

Along with the move of people goes a move in criminal activity. Recent studies have shown sub­ stantial increases in criminal activity in rural areas, primarily in burglary, theft and vandalism. What can you do to decrease the vulnerability of your farm and home to crime? First, take a few minutes to read through this checklist of self-help activities that will help you substantially reduce the chance of having your farm become a victim of criminal activity — remember, many crimes are acts of opportunity, often unplanned but occurring on the spur of the moment when some careless farmer provides an inviting opportunity to the criminal. Second, improve the physical security and iden­ tification of vehicles, tools and household property. Third, get involved in community crime preven­ tion activities. People make the difference, and organized group activity and awareness are far more powerful than one or two individuals acting alone. Get local service clubs, agricultural organizations and youth groups working together on this com­ munity problem. Prevention is the name of the game. Remove the opportunity for crime: Criminals like quiet, dark and uninterrupted time. What will you do to break up this combination? Criminals like easily sold merchandise to steal. What will you do to identify your property, making it harder for criminal to steal and hence less desirable? Criminals can read! What will you do to advertise your awareness of criminal activity and the fact that you have taken measure to make your farm less desirable for the criminal? Criminal* like complacency. What will you do to be active in the crime prevention effort and to sup• port local police agencies in their work? A complete checklist is available from the Kent County Cooperative Extension Service. Call 774- �TWe Sub sad News, Middleville, Mich. I November 10,1983 13 Counseling Dept. Warns Against Scholarship Search Agencies for Aid A number of area seniors are receiving promotional material from several agencies, offering to do a student scholarship search. The mailers suggest that by simply filling out a form and sen­ ding in a fee ($10 to $50) the student will receive a computer printout of funds for which they qualify. The Thomapple Kellogg Counseling Department advises parents and students not to use the services of such agencies. Most services guarantee a listing of five or more sources for financial aid. Most coun­ seling offices or college financial aid offices, however, can provide parents with free brochures listing the same sources and since almost all funds for scholarships, grants and loans are administered by the colleges, a listing of eligible sources is of little use to the student or parent. Instead, parents of seniors should plan on filling out the Financial Aid Form (FAF) or the Family Financial Statement (FFS) in January, 1984, in or­ der to receive financial aid for the school year begin­ ning in September 1984. Either of these forms, along with an application to a college, will be the complete application process for almost all available financial aid. Parents and students may also wish to examine their own local affiliations for scholarships, since some local scholarships are available. These would on campus David G. Ledbetter David G.

With financial aid becoming tighter as federal funds are reduced, the scholarship search scam will probably increase. Unfortunately those who use these services will find that their limited college ex­ pense budgets have been reduced rather than in­ creased by using such agencies. Parents and students seeking additional infor­ mation about financial aid and eligibility for scholarships should make direct contact with their high school counseling office or the financial aid of­ fice at their respective college or university.

The discussion initially focused on ABC’s forth­ coming movie “The Day After’’ to be shown on Sunday, November 20. ABC Motion pictures president Brandon Stoddard has called the film “The most important movie we or anyone else has ever made.’’ The movie is a stark depiction of the ultimate what-if, focusing on average American citizens in Kansas and what they are faced with the day after the unthinkable happens, nuclear war. It does not concern itself with where the fault lies, but only the consequences. The local group centered their discussion around the theme. What Can We Do To Prevent This? They agreed that grassroots awareness, concern and in­ volvement by people in countries around the world is necessary to preserve life as we know it on our planet. They decided to direct their efforts in the next three weeks toward encouraging local citizens to watch the ABC movie, and towards organizing a ---------------------------- ~ BILLIES BEAUTY SALON "'ON THE LAKE" 555 S SHORE DRIVE — GREEN LAKE CALL 891-8017 Open Days and Evenings By Appointment BILLIE RUSSELL, OWNER 20 YEARS IN THE SAME LOCA TION wotot MIDDLEVILLE LUTHERAN MISSION Meeting in TK Middle School Cafeteria Sunday School..................................................... 9:30 a.m. Worship...............................................................11:00 a.m. Adult Bible Study.................................

Check House to Save Energy Taking a few minutes to make some simple checks around the house could save customers money on their winter heating bills, says Frank Johnson. District Manager of Consumers Power Company’s Battle Creek District. The furnace should be high on the checklist. A malfunctioning or poorly adjusted furnace is an energy waster. An excellent way to avoid furnace problems is to have a qualified, authorized heating contractor in­ spect the furnace, its flue ducts and the chimney. There are some furnace maintenance tips for those who enjoy doing it themselves: — Clean and lubricate the blower fan and replace the dirty air filter. Make sure to read the furnace maintenance instructions. — Clean the furnace humidifier. — Check air ducts and registers for any blocking. — Visually inspect the vent piping for deterioration or rusting. Adequate preparation for winter and wise use of energy will help keep down your energy bill. John­ son says. There are a number of other steps that are recommended to save energy. These include: ♦ Set the thermostate as low as is reasonably com­ fortable. One degree can save about three percent of the annual heating usage. A night setback ther­ mostat can save considerable energy. ♦ Close drapes in the evening and on cloudy days. Open them on sunny days on the windows that face the sun. ♦ Close off unoccupied rooms. ♦ Make sure that furniture or drapes do not ob­ struct the free movement of air from heat registers and cold air returns. ♦ Weather-strip outside doors or doors to unheated areas. A one-eighth inch crack around a standard door or window allows as much heat to escape as a hole the size of a grapefruit. ♦ Check cracks between window frames and bet­ ween door frames and the wall, Caulk if necessary. ♦ Check insulation. If the ceiling or attic has less than three inches, more is needed. A minimum of 6 inches is recommended. The number one costeffective step to save energy is to install insulation in the attic. ’ Use storm windows or plastic coverings to provide a second layer of protection. Repair broken windows. ♦ Check dampers on fireplaces, kitchens and bathroom exhaust fans and dryer vents to make sure they close tightly when not in use. ♦ If air conditioners cannot be removed from win­ dows, weather-strip around them and cover them. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ : BAZAAR ♦ ♦ December 10 * 9-3:30 ♦ 4 A 0 Village Community Building ▼ ♦ East Main Street at Grand Rapids Street Anyone wishing to participate ▼ ♦ Call Marge Loew - 795-3503 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ � https://www.barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/25/693/SunandNews_1983-11-17.pdf 14581c95b234b9512147962c1fb82859 PDF Text Text Hastings Public Library 121 Church Hastings, MI 490590 i/- comp The Sun, gnd Netos Your Hometown Newspaper Serving Middleville and Caledonia TWENTY CENTS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17,1983 ♦ MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 113th YEAR • NUMBER 46 TK Board Seeks Bargaining Session With Teachers The Thornapple Kellogg School Board of Education met in executive session Monday night to review the fact-finding report received by the board and teacher’s association last week. Although the board did not report what reaction they had to the report, they instructed Superinten­ dent Gerald Page to contact the Association to begin bargaining toward a labor contract. Page stated that a letter was sent on Tuesday offering four possible dates that they would like to meet with the teachers. Fact Finder David T. Borland submitted his 27 page report to the interested parties after hearing testimony and reviewing documents to support both the Board’s and the Association’s positions. In the report, Borland stated that the issues before him, considered to be at impasse, included salary, health insurance, early retirement, number of work days in the calendar, and the duration of the agreement. The fact finder made these recommendations on those issues: Name Timmerman All-Stater Rolfe Timmerman was named last week to an honor no other Middleville school golfer has ever had: an All State Class Golfer. Rolfe, the son of Rev. and Mrs. Roger Timmerman of Middleville, is a TK junior. Rolfe’s accomplishments this past golf season were impressive: •He was the only unanimous OK Blue All Conference choice. It was the second year in a row that Rolfe was named to the all conference team. •His league match average of 37.37 was the lowest of the league and his overall match average of 39.09 broke the school record of 39.67 set by Craig Funk. •Rolfe’s overall average for the year, in­ cluding all rounds, was 38.24 with his low round of 35, which he shot four times. •In the eighteen matches that were played as a team this year, Rolfe finished as medalist (the best score) in fifteen of those matches. •With a score of 78, he placed second in the conference meet and was second in the Forest Hills Northern Fall Classic with an identical score of 78. •With 125 golfers participating in the Kent County Invitational, Rolfe tied for 10th with a score of 80. His 83 score at the Regionals placed him tied for third out of 85 golfers. •Rolfe was the captain of the team this year and will return next year to lead the Trojans in their run to a conference title. All of the All Staters will be recognized at a banquet this Friday at Michigan State Univer­ sity, said Rolfe’s golf coach, Bernie Weller. Duration of the agreement. It was recommended that the parties enter into a three year agreement, which is effective on September 1,1983 and expiring August 31,1986. Salary. For the current (1983-84) year, it was recommended that the salary schedule be ’ncreased each step by three percent. In the two subsequent contract years (1984-85 and 1985-86) it was recom­ mended that there be an increase of the previous year’s salary schedule by a minimum of tour per­ cent. For each one percent over the minimum, one half percent will be added to the minimum percent increase to the maximum of eight percent, based on the CPI-U from June to June. Health Insurance. It was recommended that the employees be offered the option of the MESS A Super Med I plan (the teacher’s proposal) or the SETT Ultra Med B plan (offered by the Board). It was also recommended that the Board pay 100 percent of the full family protection. Early Retirement Incentive. The fact finder recommended a scale of incentive for early retirement of teachers that would in his words, "be an appropriate expression of both parties* intent." It would range from $1,250 for a 10 year retiree to $5,000 for 30 years of service. Calendar. The recommendation would continue the number of student days at 181 and the work days at 183. Borland concluded his report with the following statement: "While teachers must continue to recognize the financial expertise and operations of the ad­ ministrative and elected officials of the District and the District must continue to recognize the good faith needs of the teachers to be aware of the factors contained in their working conditions, it also is in­ cumbent on the citizens of the District and their elected Board of Education to recognize that em­ ployment pressures are created in the schools finan­ cially, just as such personal pressures are con­ sidered by them at the ballot box, when they vote on school millage requests. "Apparently, the local citizens recognised this pressure, when they approved recently an additional millage level for the first time in the past decade. The time for tension among the teachers, ad­ ministration, Board members, and citizens has to conclude now, so that the best educational services possible in these mutually difficult times and cir­ cumstances can be provided to that other group of citizens — the students of Thomapple Kellogg School District. It is that belief and hope, as this Fact Finder has become more closely acquainted with the mutual needs of the competent people engaged in the activities of the Thomapple Kellogg Schools, with which these Recommendations have been formulated.” Two Caledonians Receive FFA American Farmer Degree Two members of the Caledonia Future Farmers of America chapter have received that group’s highest honor. Both were named to the highest FFA degree of membership, that of American Farmer. Paul Meyer and Larry Finkbeiner were among 730 other FFA’ers who were honored at the 56th National Convention in Kansas City, MO last week. Always a highlight of the convention, the American Farmer degree ceremony included the presentation of a certificate and a gold key to Paul and Larry as they walked across the convention stage in front of thousands of FFA members. Jan Eberly (on the right in the two photos above), National President of the FFA, congratulates Larry (right photo) and Paul (left photo) on their achievement.

There are plenty of good reasons for going to the Thomapple Kellogg Library - great novels, valuable reference books, magazines, children's books, recor­ ds and now a Polaroid instant camera that can be borrowed free of charge. You may want to borrow the camera for special events such as the one picture here. These Thomap­ ple Kellogg Community Education pre-schoolers en­ joyed being the first subjects of pictures with the camera. On Monday, October 31, 1983, the children visited the high school in their costumes along with their teacher Sharon Bancroft and aide Sally Wieringa. The Thomapple Kellogg library is participating in “Check This Out,’’ a program providing free instant cameras to public libraries throughout the United States. The cameras, which are from the 600 series, feature built-in electronic flash and one-button operation. Sponsored by the Customer Service Division of Polaroid Corporation, the program is being offered in cooperation with the American Library Association. With our budget limited and economic conditions difficult everywhere, it is generous of the Polaroid Company to make this con­ tribution. Hopefully, it will be the beginning of a trend that other companies will want to follow. There are very few guidelines that one must ob­ serve in order to take advantage of this service. As with borrowing all materials from the library, a valid library card is required. If you do not yet have one, simply stop in the library, fill out a registration form and we will issue you one. We also intend the camera for public use and require you to be eighteen years old to borrow. It is a very good idea to reserve the camera for special events that are on your calendar. Telephoning the Thomapple Kellogg High School and public library will reserve the camera for a specific date. Regular loan periods are two to three days. If you would like to extend this time, telephone the library. If no one has reserved or requested the camera, loan time can be extended up to a week. The camera requires 600 high speed land film. Patrons are responsible for providing their own film. Processing or developing is not required since there is an instant camera you can watch the pictures ap­ pear before your eyes. Just think how much fun it would be to have pic­ tures of a special event. Here are some suggestions — make reservations for the popular holidays ahead of time- Pictures of: Thanksgiving, Christmas, baby pictures, pizza parties, club meetings, Easter, prom, graduation, puppies, kittens, new car, birthday par­ ty, anniversary party, or pictures to send to relatives that live far away. A camera is not the only thing that is being added to the services that the public library provides. Check future columns for more information.

Area Group to Doorn bos Family Sponsor Forum on Doornbos Family Leaves for Florida Nuclear War A farewell party was held at Peace Reformed A group of Wayland area people have formed an ad hoc committee with the purpose of encouraging people in their communities to concern themselves with the nuclear war threat, to understand how a nuclear war would affect them, and to become aware of organizations in southwestern Michigan working to prevent nuclear war. The group, which wishes to be known as “People for Peace ”, has organized a forum, titled “Options to Build on”, to be held at the Baker Elementary School gym on Sycamore Street in Wayland on Monday, November 21, from 7:30 until 10:00 p.m. The meeting is scheduled for the evening following the ABC television movie “The Day After,’’ a graphic depiction of what happens to Americans in the aftermath of nuclear war. Chuck VanderWoude, of the Grand Rapids based Institute for Global Education, has said that his group is preparing for a large number of calls following the movie from watchers needing to talk about what they have seen. It is to serve this need and to provide options for people wishing to express their concerns about nuclear war that the Wayland group is sponsoring the forum. Speakers from area educational, civic and religious groups actively working for world peace will be featured. Senator Ed Fredricks and Steve Monsma, a commissioner with the Dept, of Natural Resources and a professor at Calvin College will speak. Each will briefly address the topic, “What is My group doing to Prevent Nuclear Disaster?”. Groups represented will include: The Institute for Global Education, the National Assembly of Religious Women, Physicians for Social Respon­ sibility, Educators for Social Responsibility, Paren­ ting for Peace and Justice, and Impact. After the talks, time will be allowed for informal discussion and for looking over materials concer­ ning their work that the groups will bring. The sponsoring group, “People for Peace” is en­ couraging people to watch the ABC movie and and inviting anyone interested to attend the forum. Four Trojans Named To All League Team Church Sunday evening honoring Pastor Chuck and Elsie Doornbos, who leave this week to take up pastoral duties at the Hudson Reformed Church, Hudson, Florida.

Kentwood, Ml 49508 OFFICE SUPPLIES 1 Annual Turkey Trot on Tap for November 26th The annual Middleville Turkey Trot has been scheduled for the Saturday after Thanksgiving this year, but the hundreds of runners expected probably will not have indulged in that much turkey anyway! Sponsored by the Middleville Track Club and Bil-Mar Farms, the race begins at 10:00 a.m. with registration coming at 8:30 a.m. at the TK high school. There will be two races, one for the serious run­ ners and one for the fun people. The serious bunch will go for 10,000 meters over a country route of paved and gravel roads. The first 100 top finishers will received medals and the ribbons will be given to all runners. The fun race will be for one mile. It only costs $4.00 to sign up for the 10,000 meter run, with an additional $3.50 for a Mr. Turkey shirt or visor. One new wrinkle this year will be “corporate run.” If there are five or more runners from the same workplace, they may compete (at no additional charge) as a corporate team. There will be awards to the winners and runner-up. Female runners will be divided into five age groups and male runners will participate in nine age groupings. Registration may be made with Bill Rich, 403 Grand Rapids Street, Middleville. Pre­ registration deadline is November 20,1983. ★ Closed Noon Hours 1 2-1 p.m. I Closed Saturdays! 130E.

As a matter of fact, when you pick up your phone on January i, you may be very’ surprised to learn that your senice has changed very little. For one thing, you will be able to dial your local and long distance calls exactly as y ou did before. About the only immediate change will be how your calls are billed. That’s where LATAs come in. LATA is a new word to all of us. It stands for “Local Access Transport Area In Michigan there will be five LATAs (which happen to closely approximate our Area Codes--see map). For now. the important tiling about LATAs is this: Starting January71, 1984, whenever you place a local or long distance call within the IATA in which you live, you will be billed for that call by Michigan Bell, if Michigan Bell is your carrier. When you place a call from your IATA to another LATA in Michigan or elsewhere, you will be billed by another long distance carrier. Some carriers may elect to have Michigan Bell include their charges in the bill Michigan Bell sends you. Others may not, and will bill you directly Vie'll be telling you more about LATAs and other calling infor­ mation as the details unfold. So. as the expression goes—“not to worn.

MIDDLEVILLE LUTHERAN MISSION Meeting in TK Middle School Cafeteria Sunday School........................................................... 9:30 a.m. Worship...................................................................... 11:00 a.m. Adult Bible Study..................................... Thursday 7:00 p.m. Thanksgiving is fast approaching and many of you will be preparing turkeys. Some questions commonly asked of the Kent County Cooperative Extension Service are: what’s the best buy; how do you stuff, thaw and prepare a turkey; and what do you do with the leftovers? What’s the beet buy? If you want to be economical, buy a turkey big enough for several meals. For turkeys under 12 pounds, allow threefourts to one pound per serving. For larger birds, allow one-half to three-fourths pound per serving. How do you prepare a turkey safely? Thawing the turkey: 1) in the refrigerator, in original wrap, on a tray - 18 hours to 3 days. Unwrapped and covered lightly - 18 to 48 hours. Remove giblets as soon as possible, wrap loosely and store separately. 2) Im­ merse moisture tight package in cold water. Cover turkey and change water if it becomes warm. Small birds, 3-4 hours. Large birds, 6-7 hours. The slower the defrosting, the juicier the turkey. Do not thaw at room temperature. Roast turkey at a minimum temperature of 325* for safety. Baste the turkey during roasting. To prevent darkening of the skin, cover with foil the last half hour of cooking. If you are going to stuff the bird, stuff just before roasting. Otherwise bac­ teria can grow during storage. How do you store the leftovers? As soon after serving as possible, remove dressing and refrigerate. Use within two to three days unless covered with gravy and frozen. Gravy can be frozen also. Reheat gravy rapidly to boiling before serving. Turkey can also be diced and frozen to be used later in casseroles.

NOVEMBER 24,1983 * MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 113th YEAR • NUMBER 47 Name DeGroote Winner of D.A.R. Award Principal Henry J, Dugan of Thomapple Kellogg High School is pleased to announce that Lynnette DeGroote has been chosen the recipient of the Daughters of the American Revolution award (DAR). This award is one of the greatest honors a senior girl can achieve. The qualifications necessary to gain this honor are patriotism, service, depen* dability and leadership. Lynnette, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest DeGroote, 3111 Wing Road, Hastings, was chosen by the faculty from a list of girls nominated by the senior class. Lynnette, TK's Homecoming Queen, is currently serving as Student Council secretary and was a junior inductee to the National Honor Society. Music plays an important role in Lynnette s life. She is a first section member of the jazz band, mar­ ching band and concert band and also serves as band secretary. Two musical productions at TK have benefited from Lynnette s talents as she played lead parts in each. She has performed at Solo and Ensemble competitions receiving first ratings. Bugling at Barry County horse racing and singing with the New Life Singers at churches, rest homes and religious clubs takes a large portion of Lynnet­ te’s time. Summers find Lynnette counseling kindergarten through ninth grade children at her church’s weekly activities days. During the school year she is a youth leader with her church’s youth group. In ad­ dition, she teaches trumpet to aspiring trumpeters of the community. Lynnette s pleasing personality and friendly manner are especially appreciated in her cooperative occupational training job in the high school office. Thanksgiving Meditations (of an elderly lady as she sat alone on Thanksgiving Day) I am thankful today for a roof o 'er my head The rain’s coming thru, near the foot of my bed, But maybe tomorrow there'll be sun-rays instead — So I'm thankful. I am grateful today for my rocking chair — One rocker is cracked - I really don't care, The pillow is frayed, still - it's a chair. And I'm grateful. I am thankful today for something to eat; For the clothes that I wear; the shoes on my feet, Tho something that's new would be such a treat. Still I’m thankful. MISS LYNNETTE DEGROOTE She spends several hours a week assisting ad­ ministrators, secretaries and other school personnel. Rated in the top ten percent of her class, Lynnette impressively broke the school’s typing record three times and currently types 94 words per minute. Presently majoring in business, English and music, Lynnette has plans to attend Davenport college with a goal of becoming an executive secretary. The high school administration, staff and studen­ ts congratulate Lynnette on her fine high school career and this prestigious award. I am wondering today, as I sit in my chair With the rocker that's cracked, and the rain dripping there A t the foot of my bed if there's someone who 'll share In my thanking? Let us praise Him today for our lot as it is Tho in wealth we may lack. For the gifts that He gives: Joy, honor, peace, truth, and the love that is His, Let us thank Him!

The prize, $50 in cash and a $50 Art Pen set. will be awarded to the student who produces the best poster depicting Gun Lake’s 3rd Annual Winter Festival. The Festival is scheduled for January 27, 28 and 29. According to the Poster Contest chairperson, Pat Smith, the school of the winning student will receive a matching cash prize of $50. The contest is a new feature to the Winter Festive. ‘Our main objective, of course, is to create interest in our January Festival,” Pat, a Gun Lake resident, explained. “But, just as important, we believe, is the opportunity to get our area young Also Get FFA Degrees Al Steeby. chapter advisor of the Caledonia FFA, informed The Sun and News this week that two other members of the local group have also been named to American Farmer Status. Last Week Paul Meyer and Larry Finkbeintf were shown receiving their certificates at the FFA Convention iu Ksnsss City. Jim Connors and Pat Fitzsimmons were also so honored, but were not able to be there for the photo session. This is the first time in Michigan history, said Steeby, that four members of the same chapter have received the American Farmer designation in the same year. people involved in this event. Our teens have ideas and enthusiasm — they are an untapped resource. Community events such as this need young people.” Ten area high schools have been invited to par­ ticipate in the poster contest. They include Allegan, Hopkins, Plainwell, Caledonia, Hastings, Wayland, Middleville, Martin, Delton and Otsego. “Teenagers from around the late attend several of these schools,” Pat said. “The others are our close neigh­ bors. People from all of these villages think of Gun Lake as a part of their community.” Information regarding the poster contest has already been forwarded to the schools. Entries must be received by December 15, and awarding of the prizes will be made before schools begin Christmas vacation. Following the contest, the posters will be displayed in a “gallery ” setting, with a reception for students, parents and friends. The date and location are yet to be announced. The posters will then be used to promote the upcoming Winter Festival. Village Offices Petitions Nominating petitions are now available at the Middleville Village office for the bi-annual election to be held March 12, 1984, for the following offices: Village President, Clerk and Treasurer for 2-year terms: Three trustees for 4-year terms 2Od 2 trustees to fill vacancy, 2 year terms; Village Assessor for a two year term.

Band Fundraiser Beginning this week on Wednesday (Nov. 23), the Thornapple Kellogg Bands will start a fund raising project that will be used to supplement the band program next year. The band students will be taking orders for Cen­ tury Pride Cheese and Sausage. “These products are not only excellent for eating around the house, but also lend themselves to gift-giving during the holidays,” said band director Tom Nash. The band will offer a new gift pack this year that has a sampling of four items that is also suitable for mailing. "If you plan ahead for your holiday needs, any of the items would make a very welcome gift for friends, relatives and employees,” said the director. The goal for the band is for each student to take orders for ten items. They will be taking orders from now through the end of the month, November 30. The cheese and sausage will be delivered to the school within three weeks from the placement of this order. Students will be making the deliveries and collecting the money at that time. The students will also have a chance to earn prizes for their participation in the project. To purchase any of these items, contact any member of the TK bands, or call 795-3239 if you do not know a student. "We would appreciate yoiir help and support in this program. The profits realized will improve the quality of education for our children in future years, ” said Nash. �2 The Son rad News.

HILLEGONDS, CALL AC 517 373-0836. ADDRESS LETTERS TO HIM AT STATE CAPITOL BLDG., LANSING, MICH. 48909 A couple of weeks ago I wrote about House ap­ proval of the Governor’s proposed Strategic In­ vestment Fund, and my hope that a House-Senate compromise on the prevailing wage issue would be possible. The prospects for that compromise, though not extinguished, are dimmer. Why a bi-partisan agreement may be difficult says a lot about the political climate in Lansing for the moment. First, House Speaker Gary Owen — a tough, partisan fighter — is not interested in negotiating. This makes it impossible to work out our differences in the House. Governor Blanchard has chosen to take a ‘‘handsoff’ position and will sign a Strategic Investment Fund bill with or without the prevailing wage requirement. He may realize that requiring ar­ tificially high construction wages will discourage the economic development he is seeking — at least in regions such as western Michigan. But he does not want to offend his political allies. The first two problems — a partisan Speaker and a highly political Governor — are not new. A third factor, however, is beginning to loom over everything that is being decided in Lansing: It is the impending elections to recall two Democratic State Senators. One of those Senators, David Serotkin, is the sponsor of the Strategic Investment Fund bill. So the questions are: Will the bi-partisan, pro-job coalition in the Senate continue to insist that the House prevailing wage provision be compromised? Or will philosophy take a back seat to partisan politics as Democratic Senators rush the House ver­ sion of the Strategic Fund bill to the Governor’s desk — allowing Serotkin to claim credit for the proposal before his recall election? Fearful of the answer to this question, I spoke for most House Republicans on the House floor last week. Here’s what I said: “A couple of weeks ago a number of us cast our votes for this Strategic Investment Fund bill. It was a vote to demonstrate our good faith belief in the economic development potential of this package and the feeling that our differences could be com­ promised in the Senate or in conference. We voted reluctantly, however, recognizing that the bill was seriously flawed. That bill included a prevailing wage formula which would make it dif­ ficult, if not impossible, for some job providers in some regions of this state to participate in Strategic Investment Fund program. Indeed, it was that con­ cern which caused the House Economic Develop­ ment Committee on a bi-partisan vote to include in the House bill a workable compromise — not to punish organized labor or employers — but to recognize the very real regional differences which exist in this state. Now we have the Senate version of this bill before us, only this time the House Economic Development Committee has reported the bill to the House floor with what is an unworkable prevailing wage for­ mula. This language was added on a strictly par­ tisan vote, and that's a disturbing signal about the interest on the part of the House leadership in compromise around here.. So some of us intend to send our own signal today — and that is the Strategic Investment Fund in some regions of this state will be counter-produc­ tive, a . , , , problem is not dealt with reasonably by both sides of the aisle. The Speaker has talked about the need for bi­ partisan compromise on this floor, and last week we tried to show our desire to work toward that goal. But looking at the direction in which this bill may now be headed. I have to question whether we are deling with good faith bi-partnership — or bi­ partnership only when it’s convenient. Personally, I don’t believe this bill merits support unless there’s a stronger indication of genuine in­ terest in economic development in every region of Michigan. week of nov. 20 In our land the freedom of speech is a cornerstone of representative government. Legislators can debate issues openly without fear or intimidation. Citizens write freely to their elected representatives — suggesting, requesting, criticizing, even in­ sulting. And lawmakers respond. The weekly “Lansing Diary’’ I write has been one of my most important duties as a representative. In it I am able to communicate to you my personal opinions about what is happening in Lansing. In turn, it’s an opportunity for you to agree or disagree — and react. Currently each representative may spend up to 810,000 annually for all office printing and mailing. In past years, some restrictions as to what of­ ficeholders can print with public funds have been established. Prohibited, as they should be, are mailings soliciting one's own re-election or the passage of a pet ballot proposal. Now, however, the rules are being tightened in a manner that directly challenges the freedom of ex­ pression. For me the first sign of trouble occurred this past summer. I had written a “Lansing Diary’’ strongly criticizing Governor Blanchard’s 1983-84 budget proposal. Having seen a copy of my comments, one of House Speaker Owen’s aides called me in to talk about it. The purpose of the meeting was not to discuss our differences of opinion, but to let me know that such printed criticisms of the Governor were not appreciated. Since then other legislators have written newslet­ ters thought by the House Democratic leadership to be overly partisan. Last week Speaker Owen decided to do something about it. Of the ten new printing rules he has proposed, two state: “To clarify what is considered to be “partisan" and/or “political" material, beginning immediately, any materials printed in any print shop shall not contain any specific references to Republican or Democrat or Democratic, with the exception of references made in connection with the name of the Representative making the printed request. ’’ “The content of any materials printed in any print shop shall not attack, assail, assault, or promote any individual(s).” In other words, newsletters reporting differences in philosophy and policy between House Republicans and Democrats — or between lawmakers and the Governor — are to be monitored or even muzzled. To enforce these new guidelines, the Speaker has instructed the Republican and Democratic caucuses to screen each other’s newsletters before they are printed. Negotiations between the Speaker and Minority Leader Busch regarding the new rules are under­ way. Some issues cannot be compromised, however, and one is the right to speak freely. Not that I am advocating the use of excessive par­ tisan propaganda or unfair, simplistic rhetoric. Any law lawmaker who employs those tactics insults the in­ telligence of his or her constituency and risks losing their respect. But poor judgment should be for citizens to define. It ought not be used as an excuse to begin a system of arbitrary editing and even cen­ sorship controlled by the House leadership. Such an abuse of power must not be permitted. A New Sun <8 News Series DOWN MEMORY LANE by Norma Velderman MOORE FAMILY Originally Wanda came hen from Wayland. She has lived in Middleville since 1948. She used to work at school as librarian, but has worked at Bradford White for 12W years now. All of the Moore children, and there are four: Terry 35, Nora 31, Tim 29, Valley 26; were very ac­ tive in all kinds of sports. My first memories of Wanda were of a very enthusiastic supporter of any sport that her children were in. Terry married Kathy Biermacher of Middleville and they have one son, Zach. 15. They bought Mr. and Mrs. Harry Baisch’s home on M-37 south of town. You can’t miss it because it’s a beautiful blue house with white trim. Their place caught my eye before I knew they had purchased it, because they had a blue and white pickup on a real black tarmac drive. The blue of the truck and house were such a contrast from the drive. Kathy’s flowers were so pretty this fall. Terry and Kathy both work at White’s here in Middleville. Zach and Terry love the outdoors and love to hunt and fish. Nora lives in Minneapolis and works for a com­ munication company. She’s still very active in sports. I believe her mom says she plays a lot of tennis. Tim married Denise Leech, formerly of Detroit, and they live in Grand Rapids. Tim works for the state and Denise is a nurse at Butterworth. Valley lives in Grand Rapids and works for Bell Telephone. Thanks from Troop 105 Boy Scout Troop 105, Middleville, would like to thank the members of the Caledonia Sportsman’s Club for the use of their lodge and facilities for the weekend campout November 11-12-13. Two boys were able to complete their archery merit badges, begun at summer camp. Two other boys also com­ pleted the requirements for cooking skill award. In return, the troop spent an afternoon repairing and shoring up a washed-out trail. Dad Larry Bar­ ton, a member of the Sportsmen’s Club, spent the weekend with the boys, as did Scoutmaster Chuck Baughman. Dad George Lux joined the troop for the Saturday afternoon activities.

Schwartz, M.D. Bone and Joint Complaints While there are few muscular or skeletal (bone) problems that are found only among adolescents, doctors frequently hear complaints of backache or joint pain from the rapidly growing boy or girl. Postural problems are rather common and are related to rapid bone growth before supporting muscles are fully developed and strong enough. Ims can lead to back pain, ‘round shoulders, lumbar (lower back) strain, and so on. Postural problems are often made worse because very tall or obese boys or girls slouch to avoid being conspicuous, or because teenagers carry heavy gooks in one arm all the time. The condition rarely responds to the parent's nagging to “stand up straight - stop slouching, you look ugly sprawled in that chair”; more often teenage rebelliousness will alter the posture for the worse as the nagging in­ creases. The doctor must check for structural abnor­ malities and aim at correcting them. Exercises and encouragement to improve appearance will do much more than scolding. ... Rapid growth may also be associated with a slip­ ping of the head of the femur (the thigh bone) in the hip joint, causing pain and a limp and requiring the immediate attention of the doctor. Knee pain is quite common and, in the adolescent, can be caused by an inflammation around a tip of bone projecting from the upper part of the tibia (the main bone of the lower leg) or by tearing of cartilage fibers in the knee joint itself. Athletic injuries are often more severe in the rapidly growing person, again because the increase in protective muscle mass usually comes later in the period of bone growth. School sports should be supervised by coaches who understand all this and insist on adequate protective equipment and safety rules. �8 The Sun and New., Middleville, Mich.

Waste products and spillage from cleaning and winterizing the radiator on the family car are ex­ tremely dangerous to children and pets, says Michael Slanker, D.V.M., veterinary toxicologist at MSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine. “Antifreeze contains ethylene glycol, which is very poisonous,” Dr. Dianker explains. “Only two tablespoons can kill a child, a 25-pound dog, or a five-pound cat. The solution tastes sweet, so children and animals will drink it.” Signs that may indicate antifreeze poisoning range from uncoordinated movements, convulsions and vomiting in severe cases to progressive depression and loss of appetite in milder cases. If antifreeze poisoning is suspected, professional medical assistance should be sought immediately. “Early treatment can prevent further com­ plications,” Dr. Slanker says, “but once kidney damage has occurred, the prognosis is usually grave.” Dr. Slanker recommends disposing of used an­ tifreeze in a septic tank or at a waste water disposal plant. Unused antifreeze should be kept tightly sealed and stored out of the reach of children and pets. Persons with questions about suspected cases ot animal poisonings can call the MSU Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory’s toxicology hotline at 517-353-5123 Jacqueline Cherry Village Clerk t GIANT SKI OUTFITSALE! rREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT GRaEtAtThe RIGHT PRICE!

The quality of vision is the key factor. If vision is inadequate, the potential for accidents increases substantially, creating hazards for the hunter and others as well. A hunter must be able to: ♦distinguish detail at considerable distance and against a variety of backgrounds. ♦focus clearly on near and distant objects and switch focus within a fraction of a second. ♦judge distance with speed and accuracy. ♦detect objects and movements on either side of the target. ♦identify colors ♦see comfortably and perform under a variety of light and weather conditions. The ability to identify plays a large role in hun­ ting. Approximately 5-10% of the hunters cannot distinguish colors properly which can pose a dangerous threat to fellow hunters. Research in­ dicates that hunter orange is the only satisfactory color for hunters to wear under all weather and lighting conditions. Red is no longer recommended because red cloth may not be seen by hunters with color vision deficiencies and because it becomes dif­ ficult to see in poor light and disappears at dusk. In order to hunt safely, a hunter must be able to see, as well as be seen! �The Sun and News, Middleville. Mich.

BOOTH AGENCY 497 Adbgton, MHdteva* 79MXH J �12 TUSmittdNewB, Middleville, Mich. / November 24.1983 Capitol by Senator Dick Pogthumug Believing that agriculture and forestry must play a larger role in Michigan’s economic recovery, Republican legislators have devised a plan to help those industries create jobs and reap greater (finan­ cial) harvests. The eight-point legislative program is rooted in an overall GOP Economic Action plan. It focuses on agriculture and forestry because of their tremen­ dous economic base and potential for job growth, especially in food and wood processing. Both in­ dustries have weathered the recession well, generating $22 billion a year for Michigan’s economy. Major components of the Republican Action Plan for Agri-business/Forestry call for: —Exemption from the Single Business Tax for any agriculture or forestry industry processing facilities, whether they be existing, expanding or new. The exemption would then be phased out over a 10-year period. Like all businesses in Michigan, agri-business and forestry would benefit greatly by the revamping of the tax structure. —Creation of a new Agriculture and Forestry Research and Development Fund. Republicans sup­ port a centralized exposition center for promotion of Michigan agriculture, related products, industries and animals. We endorce the newly-developed “Say ‘Yes’ to the Best from Michigan Farms’’ product logo and encourage its use in newspaper ads, flyers, coupons and restaurant menus. —Earmarking a portion of horse racing revenues for the purpose of promoting horse racing, in­ creasing purse levels and improving race track facilities. Since 1970, attendance at horse races in Michigan has fallen off more than 52%. Track receipts have fallen off 24% which reflects negatively the amount of revenue to the state’s General Fund. —Creation of a legislative policy task force to develop an equitable statewide water-use policy. We strongly oppose water diversion from our Great Lakes and feel we must begin anticipating future demands and priorities for the entire Great Lakes water supply. —Passage of pending legislation amending the Grain Dealers Act to assure that farmers who deliver grain to elevators receive payment for their product. There have been 11 elevator insolvencies or bankruptcies in Michigan since January, 1981. Many farmers have never been paid for their grain which they deposited in elevators on “price later agreements.’’ Adoption of these and other policies and incen­ tives outlined in the proposal will mean new and permanent jobs for Michigan's unemployed men and women. It will also send an important message to the rest of the country that Michigan is serious about regulatory reform and reducing the high cost of doing business. Since agriculture and forestry are businesses, what is good for business is good for agri-businss and forestry. And, certainly those vital industries are good for Michigan. PRAIRIE SKETCHES CLAY HILLS With LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHEE With WRETHAMcNEE Ruth Klump enjoyed the Ice Capades Saturday afternoon with Mrs. Richard Clark and children. Ward and Jessie Bender, Dirk and Ria Riedstra had dinner out together in Kalamazoo on Wed­ nesday. The Dave Enders family had Friday night supper with his folks. Dorothy and Harold Enders, and had Sunday dinner with Tom and Lois Bremer. The Pat Harrison family celebrated daughter Nicki’s 12th birthday over the weekend. Nicki had a couple of friends for overnight on Friday and they enjoyed the Pizza Hut, the mall and Farrells. Satur­ day the folks surprised Nicki with an organ for her birthday, so now the house is filled with music. (I could hear it in the background!) Judy Harrison also said their old English sheepdog disappeared last week. If you’ve seen one wandering, please call them. Walter and Lois Bender, Ward and Jessie Bender joined the other brothers and sisters for breakfast at the Crossroads in Grandville last Friday. Mart and Cindy Wenger hosted her family, the Palmers, for a pre-holiday Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday. They also helped take the Peace yough group to a hockey game at Wing Stadium last week. Carla Newman. Ann Finkbeiner and Joyce Domire went to “Family Shopping Night’’ at KMart Sunday and enjoyed a snack together after­ ward. Alice Steiner accompanied Holly Steiner and Emily VanMatre to a doll show in Lansing on Sun­ day. Sunday morning Mr. and Mrs. George Shoemaker of Shelbyville attended church with Ward and Jessie Bender. Later all joined Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bricker in Grand Rapids and enjoyed eating at Mr. Steak. Tom and I went up to Shepherd Friday to spend the night with son Dave, Colleen and Zak. It was their church bazaar day Saturday, so of course I had a look-through, and we all had lunch there. Came home in the afternoon in the rain - a nice visit but a dreary drive. I don’t know about you, but it seems as Thanksgiving time approaches each year, that the older we get the more there is to be thankful for. We certainly are blessed, for even in time of problems we can be thankful for the ability to cope, and for the knowledge that a little patience and a lot of love goes a long way.

Extend Library Hours Because of an increase in patron participation, the Middleville Public Library is adding another week night to its schedule. The new additional hours are Thursday evenings from 6:00 • 8:00 Several patrons indicated that either another evening or Saturday mornings would be helpful. The Library Board decided that Thursday evening would be the most logical choice at this time since the building is not heated on weekends. It is hoped that utilization of the library continues and grows with the increase of hours that the Public Library is open. Ellect Wenger to New Farm Co-op Board Farm Bureau Services no longer exists. Delegates of that former organization met this week in Lansing and officially reorganized into a new, large regional agricultural co-operative. The new company will be known as AgnLand, Inc. Over 300 delegates were introduced to the new company in a four hour session, and then gave ap­ proval to the new articles of incorporation and by­ laws. Eleven new directors of the AgriLand were elec­ ted, with Middleville farmer Bob Wenger one of those selected. Wenger, president of the Caledonia Farmers Elevator Co. board of directors, was one of three farmers named to the new board. �1 Th* Sod ttd New*, Middleville, Midh. / December 1.1983 ■ n\ V? A At Your Public Library B? Chris Boyseo Public Library Assistant Americans are faced with a lifestyle which is becoming more complicated with the increase of technology It is true that our daily lives may be easier with the many new conveniences, but more than a few people are questioning whether the pnee of modern technology is too high. Others question whether the buildup of national armaments is necessary, especially nuclear arms. Luckily the human mind can only deal with a limited number of problems before paranoia sets in. These are real problems we face, but perhaps the best way to deal with them is through awareness and education. As a community or state or nation - you cannot solve the problem until you understand it. Here are the titles to some excellent current books available on issues we should all be aware of: Laying Waste: The Poisoning of America by Toxic Chemicals by Michael Brown.

I December 1.1983 A New Sun & News Series DOWN MEMORY LANE by Norma Velderman The Art Kenyons Art Kenyon and Ann Williams are a local family whose ancestors have been here in the Middleville area many years. Art and Ann met when Ann was learning to drive. He stopped her and blocked her way so she had to listen to him. She couldn't back up to get out of his way. They were married in 1927 and had four children, Charlotte, Bob, Bill and Rodney. Her sister Vivian Williams came to live with them when their mom, Maggie Williams, died. Art’s grandfather Spink Kenyon came in 1883 and lived on Green Lake Road, where Ralph and Alberta Kenyon now live. When Ralph bought the home farm, the old folks bought what used to be the Carl Marble place, or more recently the Ed Moeller Jr. farm on Jackson Road. When Clark s widow sold the farm to Carl Marble 35 years ago. Art and Ann bought the property on the north end of Har­ wood I^ake where their present summer home is located. Anne’s grandfather, James Williams came in 1885 as a baby. His folks had a land grand from the government. It was a farm on Bender Road where Marty and Cindy wenger now live. Some of you might remember it as the Bender farm, near the high school. Ann said her grandfather used to play with the Indian children who camped down along the river, which is now the downtown area of Mid­ dleville. James Williams was a well known fiddler and caller for dances. He could call and fiddle the en­ tire evening and never repeat himself. He also was a Civil War veteran. Art's mother’s father, John Cook, built the house and barn on Cherry Valley Road where Carl and Carla Newman now live. When Art and Ann were first married 57 years ago they lived for a short while on the east side of town. Then they moved into the small house north of the Shell station on Broadway. Later they moved to their present home two houses west of the Shell Station on W. Main (Cappons). Art was a mechanic and car salesman working for John VanderCook, who sold Fords. Then in 1931 he and Jim Polhemus went into business where the old opera house used to be (two stores away from the Railroad). It is now a fenced vacant lot on Main Street. In 1935 they started selling Pontiacs and Art has been selling them for 47 years. In 1952 Art had a fire in the garage, so bought the old Keeler Brass Factory, the present site of Central Garage. The home the Kenyons now live in used to be the blacksmith shop with a watchmaker on the 2nd floor. If you'll notice their front upstairs windows, you'll see they are more like a business display win­ dow. which made it better for the watchmaker. The Town Clock, made of all wooden parts, was in the peak of the house. First the road was level with the blacksmith's doors, but later the village raised the level of the road, filling in the dip. so now Art and Ann have to go up steps to the road. Now for their children: Charlotte married Rodney Finkbeiner. who is now a retired pharmacist. They live here in Middleville. They have four children. Gary 28. Larry 26. Allen 23 and Ann 21. Gary is now attending MSU working on his doctorate in Social Sciences. Larry’ married Jane Ghelen and they now live in Westphalia where Larry works for Pet Supply Co. out of Lansing. Larry and Jane have two boys. Patrick 3 and Gerrick one. Allen lives in Grand Rapids and atten­ ds junior college. He’s taking up electronics. Ann lives and works in Middleville. She works for Ace Bolt and Nut. Kenyon’s oldest son. Bob. married Donna John­ son. They have one son. Robert. 14. Bob is in business with his dad in Central Garage, as well as being the Fire Chief. The second son, Bill married Neva Bryans of Hastings. They also live here in Middleville. Bill is in business with his Dad at Central Garage and Neva works at TK High School. They have two children. Gayle and David. Gayle married Doug Henning of Battle Creek and they live in Troy. He is a tinsmith out of Kalamazoo. David married Kathy Muste of Caledonia. He works at the TK bus garage. They have two sons, Dan 5 and Phillip 2. (Ann calles him BJ because he looks just like his grandfather Bill). Rodney Married Carol Schenkel, a local gal. He owns his own business of NAPA parts, called Cen­ tral Auto Parts. They have three children. Craig, 29. attended University of Michigan and was in their band. He works for his dad in the Caledonia NAPA part store. Tom, 27. graduated from Northwood College in Midland. He also works with his dad in Caledonia Auto parts.

Parents should realize that unrealistic goals are often at the bottom of school failure. On the other hand, a falling off of previously higher achievement in school can be a warning of an emotional problem and should alert parents and physicians to look for sources of anxiety or conflict that need attention. Anxiety may also manifest itself in frequent physical complaints. Headache and abdominal pain are particularly common complaints among teenagers. Parents should take these complaints seriously, but it is up to the doctor to make the diagnosis in order to start effective treatment. These symptoms are. of course, real and sometimes related to such conditions as peptic ulcer or ulcerative colitis — two conditions that, most people do not realize, can afflict older children and adolescents. (As a matter of fact, even young infanta can develop peptic ulcer.) Anxiety, insecurity, re­ belliousness. all common in adolescence, surely play a large part in the abuse of drugs by children at a younger and younger age. If parents and doctors are alert to emotional problems that can lead the young person to seek escape in drugs, perhaps some of the abuse can be prevented. The doctor who is experienced in tt eating teenagers is aware that depression is not uncommon in adolescence. He should be sensitive to signs of it in order to help prevent suicide — the fourth most frequent cause of death among adolescents. The family physician is usually the first to see these problems developing. Often anxiety can be relived by this doctor himself. When he finds serious emotional disturbance or wants guidance or help in diagnosis, he should refer the patient to a psychiatrist or other professional counselor, but still retain his interest in his patient and the family.

We went to an antique flea market in Lexington on Friday and were able to get a part for an old lamp for which we’ve been scouring the antique stores for a couple of years. What a feeling of accomplishment. We toured the surrounding countryside with its horse farms, hills, narrow bridges, and even crossed the Kentucky River by ferry.

It happened in mid-August as Burghdoff drove his company truck along M 50 south of Alto, his thoughts running ahead to the job awaiting him in Freeport. “I was wondering how long the job would take and whether it would be straightforward or not” said Burgdoff. 39, who works out of the company’s Hastings office in south western Michigan. He never got to find out. Something he glimpsed—seen for an instant, then hidden by a bam—made him swing his truck around and head liack to the farm he had just passed. “Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a tractor tipping over.” he said. “1 don’t know how I happened to catch it, it was back off the road some. And I wasn’t really sure that I had seen it.” As Burghdoff pulled into the driveway of the Logos Christian Farm he found that his eyes hadn't Ix^en playing tricks Pinned beneath an o\ertumed tractor lay farm maintenance man Tom Mellon His 8.000 pound Massey-Ferguson had slid sideways off a ramp leading up to a bam. thrown Mellon to the ground and rolled on top of him.

DECEMBER 8.1983 ★ MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 113th YEAR • NUMBER 49 Middleville Lions Christmas Parade This Saturday Wintertime....... A TIME OF BEAUTY AND HAZARDS Wintertime snow brings two things ... a quiet beauty of the landscape as shown above taken on Robertson Road northeast of Middleville, and, unfortunately, slippery roads that result in auto accidents. Last Thursday a car driven by Dennis Vickers, 25, of Middleville, was unable to stop at the intersection of M-37 and Finkbeiner Road and slid into the path of a northbound car driven by a Hastings woman. Peggy Shepard, 33, and her daughter Sarah, age 9, were taken to Pennock Hospital by the Thomapple Township Ambulance Service. Middleville’s Annual Christmas Parade, spon­ sored by the local Lions Club, will take place this Saturday afternoon. December 10. Bill Kenyon, parade chairman, reports he has eight floats entered in the parade. The Lions Club is offering a prize of $50 for the best float and $25 to the runner-up. Bill indicated he still has “plenty of room’’ for more units. The units in the parade will form at the Calvin Hill Park at 12:45 a.m. and step-off will be promptly at 1 p.m. The parade will go out Fremont Street to Grand Rapids Street, then down through town to the Middle School. The TK Marching Band. 140 strong, will lead the units. Once at the Middle School. Santa Claus will greet all his little friends with a gift of candy and a cheer­ ful “Merry Christmas! ”, Caledonia area folk are reminded that their parade will be the following Saturday, December 17. (See page three of this week's Sun and News). Need More Blood A special blood drive will be held at the Mid­ dleville VFW Hall from noon until 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday, December 28. This is being done in an effort to meet patient blood needs during the holiday season. Regular donors are reminded, new donors are needed.

Mich./DwhUmtS. 1M1 At Your Public Library By Chris Boysen Public Library AsswUmt The computer age has arrived. Actually it arrived five years ago. I just refused to acknowledge this change until now. I’m still skeptical about these machines but at least the notion that they are over­ taking the human race is fading. The library has ad­ ded a computer in order to make our system more ef­ ficient. With growing enthusiasm and amazement I realize what 8 computer system can do for you as patrons and for us as staff. Remember that we belong to a library cooperative (Lakeland) that enables us to borrow books from other libraries. Most other public libraries that belong to lakeland are programmed on the com­ puter. Therefore, we have access to the information from many libraries right at our fingertips. The program LIBS 100. which we use, is marketed by the CL Systems, Inc. The main terminal is located in lakeland headquarters. Our terminal is connected by way of telephone lines. We do not have a printer with this system nor can you run other computer programs on this system. It will probably take a year to completely be able to use the computer as a circulation tool. Every single book must have the author, title, copyright, publisher, library of Congress number, as well as other information entered into the computer. A zebra tape or barcode must be placed in each book. Information about every patron also has to be stored in the computer. When this is all finished the computer will be able to check materials in and out of the library. It will produce overdue nqtices, organize book reserves and compile statistics on materials and patrons. The computer is already making an impact on library efficiency even without circulation capabilities. Perhaps you would like specific up-todate information on a specific subject. It is quite simple to secure the name of the author or a title using Books In Print. With this information the computer can tell you if the books are owned by other libraries in the system, whether they are currently on the shelf and when they should be available. Additional information includes subject headings which should help decide if the book deals with the subject matter with which you are in­ terested. Before the computer, we ordered several books through Lakeland and hoped that they were available and if the correct subject matter. Many students have already taken advantage of the ad­ ditional information. Once the computer is completely operational, everyone will benefit. Using the library will be even easier than it is now. I’m sure you will be amazed at the speed, versatility and efficiency of the little black box with a screen and keyboard. obituaries ROBERT J. TOLAN. SR. Robert J.

CALL AC 517 3730836 ADDRESS LETTERS TO HIM AT STATE CAPITOL BLDG., LANSING, MICH. 48909 Making able-bodied persons earn their welfare grants by putting them to work is a popular idea politicians like to talk about. In fact, the concept of workfare in Michigan was adopted a couple of years ago. Currently able-bodied social services claimants must accept available work or job training. If they refuse, their benefits are terminated for up to three months. Some counties and non-profit agencies in our region are providing jobs to welfare recipients. Many persons now attend required adult education classes to improve basic skills and obtain training. The program has enjoyed only limited success, however, for several reasons. Only about 30% of all welfare claimants are able to work — and many in this group do not receive benefits for a long enough period to become involved in workfare. Local gover­ nments face stiff resistance from public employees who do not want their jobs displaced by lower-paid welfare clients. Too often the jobs are “make-work” which impart few skills needed by recipients to ob­ tain long-term employment. With double digit unemployment in our state and many skilled, ex­ perienced citizens looking for work, private em­ ployers are not exactly flocking to social services of­ fices to sign up welfare clients for jobs — even though there are tax advantages for employers who Still I feel strongly that our social services system should not sentence entire generations of disadvan­ taged people to long-term dependency. That's why I recently supported a modest expansion of Michigan's workfare program. Major parts of the proposal include: —A 85 million increase in the existing 814.5 million effort to employ, educate, and train ablebodied claimants. A key amendment was added by the House making ADC mothers eligible if their children are over six months ofa ge and day care service is available. —A 81 million pilot program to help teenage parents get into the job market —An important 81 million pilot project for sub­ sidies to private employers who are willing to hire welfare clients at the same wage and benefit levels as their other employees. —A new 813.1 million Community Service Corps that will substitute minimum wage jobs for welfare grants for as many as 7,000 recipients. Sponsors will include local governments, school districts and non-profit agencies. —82.6 million to establish a 500-person Michigan Conservation Corps for young people currently receiving general assistance. Participants will help to maintain state parks and forests. The other major portion of this package provides urgently needed assistance to welfare recipients who face heating or electricity shut-offs this winter. Significantly, 89 million of the 822.5 million allocated for energy cost relief will be spent on weatherization steps to reduce long-term heating expenses. My vote for workfare was less than enthusiastic. Fortunately, however, the S45 million package represents a cautious approach. It consists of a pilot program and targets a relatively small group of citizens for participation in work and training. I also am encouraged by a provision in the bill that creates a legislative oversight committee to review the suc­ cess of the workfare experiment. Certainly. I hope the program is successful and believe it is worth trying. No matter how popular the concept, however, workfare should not be con­ tinued indefinitely if it fails to help welfare clients obtain meaningful, long-term employment.

Describing the legislative affairs in Lan­ sing while leaving out those words is like describing the World Series and leaving out the names of the teams In one recent article prepared for mailing to con­ stituents in a district represented by one of my Fair Deal If a man lives by the Golden Rule, others gradually come to see him as a person who deals fairly and honestly with his fellows, and a reputation develops. Nowadays, to many that is a process which takes too long. They try to establish community confidence quickly by public relations techniques — “I am a good fellow because it says so right here in my publicity.” But con­ fidence lasts only as long as it is backed by real service, fair dealing and a sincere feeling for those in bereavement. Have we achieved that kind of trust and con­ fidence? That is for those who have used our services to say and there is only one meaningful way for them to say it. With deep feelings of gratitude, we note that they have done so. Republican colleagues, the Democrat Leader's staff censored the words "Blanchard," "Republicans" and "Democrats". Those deletions were carried in a story detailing the Governor's signing into law the end of presidential primaries in Michigan — legislation which was favored by the Governor and both Republican and Democratic political parties in Michigan Freedom of speech is one of our most cherished rights and the success of our political system depends on the public's free access to the positions held by all parties The free flow of information bet­ ween citizens and the government they elect is essential to the maintenance of a republic and state such as ours and increases the accountability in government The "censoring" of any material is uncalled for It is political arrogance at its worst and a reckless abuse of power By "censoring" Republican material, we are being denied the opportunity to ex­ press our views on what is happening in Lansing And you are being denied the opportunity to hear directly from your elected representative his or her explanation of legislative action. Week of December 5 Decorum in the Senate came to a screeching halt during the recent reapportionment battle, as blatant and angry partisan politics rode roughshod over the rules that formerly governed our proceedings. Democrats, distressed over the second recall of one of their state senators, were determined to redraw electrocal lines to assure themselves of even stronger and more solid majorities in both houses after the next elections. Republicans were not allowed to speak, either in committee or on the floor of the Senate, in spite of Senate rules allowing them to do so. The deed was done without debate. Any pretense of following rules or maintaining control was abandoned. As for the reapportionment issue, the logic and fairness of the Republican perspective seems ob­ vious. According to our Constitution, new election district lines were drawn after the 1980 census to reflect population changes. That action was drawn out and controversial, and the battle waged on so long even the primary elections had to be delayed. The issue finally stumped the Legislature and the Supreme Court. An impartial elections expert named Bernie Apol, a former Michigan State Elec­ tions Director, was called in to draw the final map. It was judged by all to be fair. Even James Blanchard said, "Most civil servants claim they’re non-political and it’s baloney. With Apol it’s true. There’s not a partisan bone in his body." It is the position of the Senate Republican Caucus that the reapportionment plan, drafted by Mr. Apol and approved by the Michigan Supreme Court in the spring of 1982, is both fair and constitutionally correct. The majority party had no legitimate reason to tamper with it. But as much as I deplore reapportionment, I must also say that I am ashamed of the way the Senate proceedings were conducted during this debate — or lack of thereof. Though Republicans requested to debate and add amendments time and again, they were not acknowledged and the process became a one-party circus. The Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives, however, have said they will not act on this purely partisan bill. I certainly hope that those calmer and more level heads will continue to prevail both in the House and in the Governor’s office. Running a legislature may recall paranoia and reapportionment revenge is not a class act. Michigan deserves better and desperately needs more. It is high time we expended the high level of legislative energy we have just witnessed on more worthy efforts — like creating and retaining jobs in Michigan and improving our economic climate. If the Legislature could achieve those worthy goals, there d be little reason to worry about recall or re­ election. ROVING REPORTER rtfrh HAZEL McCAUL Everything going well at the park.

Some branches will include brief holiday films. According to Mary Frydrych. coordinator of Childrens Services, "the holiday season, although hectic for adults, is an exciting time for little ones. It is our hope that all children will be exposed to the richness and variety of holiday stories which tell of love, joy and peace."

To be prepared for winter storms, the State Police offer this advice: At home • have enough canned and dried foods on hand to last several days if needed. If taking medication, keep prescriptions filled. If possible have emergency heating equipment available such as a wood stove or fireplace and a supply of wood in case of a power failure. Be sure any emergency heating equipment is properly ven­ tilated. Keep candles, matches and flashlights on hand. A battery-operated radio with spare batteries will keep you informed of emergency broadcast in­ formation. Extra blankets and heavy clothing should be available. If you must go out. wear w arm clothing. Layers of protective clothing are more efficient and effective than single layers of thick clothing. Hoods should cover the mouth to protect lungs from extremely cold air. Avoid overexertion and exposure. Travel - make sure your car is in good condition, properly serviced and equipped with snow tires. Keep the gas tank full. Travel only if necessary and if possible take another person with you. Have emergency supplies in the car such as a shovel, flashlight, blanket, scrapers, a first aid kit. and food supplies.

Kent 4-H Offers New “Wonderland of Foods” Kent County 4-’h has developed a new and ex­ citing project titled "Wonderland of Foods.” The project consists of 10 different modules — dairy foods, breads and grains, fruits, vegetables, meats, ethnic foods, food preservation, food art, herbs and spices and cooking methods. Each is full of fun ac­ tivities, demonstration ideas, field trip suggestions, recipes and resources. The modules can be used as a series or by themselves. "Wonderland of Foods” is a fun and interesting way for young people to learn about food and nutrition. In the Bread and Grain module, youth can learn measuring and mixing of ingredients, how to make various breads, uses for leftover breads, types and uses of grains and nuts. The Vegetable module teaches about the taste, texture and uses of vegetables, how to make special soups and blender drinks, how different cultures use different vegetables and more. The Ethnic Foods module helps youth explore different cultures through foods. Learning about herbs and spices, where they originated, how they grow, and how they’re uses, is included in another module. Each module contains special learning experien­ ces and fun activities for the younger set — ages 4-8. Older youth may be especially interested in the modules on food preservation, ethnic foods, and food art. Also available is information on catering and careers in the foods industry. If you would like to know more about this exciting project, please call the 4-H office at 774-3265. If you do get stuck in the storm, don’t panic. If you are on a well-traveled road, show a trouble signal. Set your directional lights to flashing, raise the hood of your car. or hang a cloth from the anten­ na or window. Then stay in your car and wait for help to arrive. If you run the engine, open a window to provide ventilation and protect you from carbon monoxide poisoning. If there is no source of help in the immediate vicinity, don’t leave your car • you may become confused and get lost. Planning ahead is one of the best defenses against unpredictable winter weather. RIBC’s Recycling Tips RIBC’s recycling tip for this month is also a gift idea — a portable battery recharger How many dead batteries have you thrown in the trash? How many times have you shopped and shopped in vain for a particular sized battery to replace a used one? A nickle cadmium battery recharger is the an­ swer. Although considerably more expensive to purchase in the first place, nickle cadmium batteries last for years. They are carried locally and cost between 87 and 810 for two. depending on the size. Rechargers range from 816 to 823. plug into an ordinary household outlet and use very little electricity even though it takes about eight hours to recharge a bat­ tery. Our family has used such batteries for flashlights, camera flash attachments and toys for years and find it a great alternative to the conventional throw­ away waste creating kind. Car batteries can also be recycled by taking them to Summit Steel Processing Corp, at 519 East Railroad in Hastings. Remember to recycle your clean glass and metal (labels removed from cans) at the Middleville household recycling site behind the Middle Mart Party Store on M-37, the Hastings site in the fire station parking lot on Mill and Michigan, or the Caledonia Foods site on M-37.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE • 88TH HOUSE DISTRICT Recall - Redistricting - Retribution! Will Rogers once uttered a praver as the Legislature was preparing to convene. He said "Oh Lord, give us the strength to bear that which is about to be inflicted upon us. Be merciful with them. Oh Lord, for they know not what they do. ” A recent editorial in the Grand Rapids Press may have been a little more straightforward when they said. "The Michigan Legislature ...is populated with more than a few hypocrites, political cowards, kneejerk par­ tisans ana mental midget. Unfortunately, events of the past week or so have done little to dispel those sentiments, and much to enhance them With the second successful recall of a State Legislator in as many weeks, retribution in the form of a redistricting plan was passed by the Democratic majority in the Senate during a middle of the night maneuver, and using the vote of the recalled Senator before he was officially removed from office. If that sounds like a horror story, wait until you see the redistricting plan itself! If the bill passes the House and is signee by the Governor. Michigan's citizens will have to get used to entirely new political boundaries for both House and Senate Districts, after just having jrone through that process for the last election. The plan is a classic example of gerrymandering, designed to pit as many Republican legislators against each other as possible, and creating additional "safe" Democratic districts. Having passed the Senate, the bill is now in the Democratically controlled House. What will happen to it there is anybody’s guess. There are certainly enough Democratic votes to pass it, if and when they choose. Right now, we (Republicans) are being told that if we are good little "doo bees" and don’t get involved in any further recalls, it won't tie brought to a vote. The obvious question that is raised by that tactic is "where will it end?" How of­ ten and on which issues will that "loaded gun" be pointed? State government is paralyzed and at a standstill right now, and until this recall, redistricting issue is put to rest, nothing of consequence is likely to be ac­ complished. Negotiations are continuing between leaders of both parties in an attempt to break the deadlock and, hopefully, by next week I can report to you that guns are bolstered, hatchets buried, and we can get back to the serious business of state government. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ * cMerry Christmas * : BAZAAR ♦ December 10 * 9-3:30 ♦ 4 Village Community Building 4 0 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ East Mam Street at Grand Rapids Street tk school menus Week of December 12 Middle/High School Menu Monday Sloppy J oe on Bun, tatef tots, peaches, milk.

Middleville, Mich. I December 8,1983 It’s time to get reacquainted with your phone bill. When you go to your mail box and find your next phone bill, you'll notice it’s changed in some ways. For example, there’ll be more pages because tne billing information will be more extensive and listed differently These initial changes are the result of Michigan Bell’s upcoming separation from AT&T on January 1,1984. Weu like to explain these changes. Probably the first and most important thing to understand is that after January 1, 1984, your Michigan Bell bill may include charges from Michigan Bell and AT&T or other long distance service companies, but vou’ll continue to pay the total bill to Michigan Bell. tour billing information will be in three general categories: Basic Service. In the future, Michigan Bell will continue to provide and bill your basic telephone service, as well as your local and zone usage. Included in your monthly service could be Custom Calling, Touch-Tone* Senice. or optional calling plan charges Michigan Bell will also bill you lor any directory assistance charges vou incur Long Distance. tour long distance calls will be separated between those provided by Michigan Bell and those ihat after January 1, 1984, are provided by other long distance carriers but may be billed by Michigan Bell. They will appear on separate pages. Telephone Equipment Charges. In the past, vour telephone equipment charge was added into your charge for basic service. Now it will be itemized on a separate page. Ownership of the equipment Michigan Bell now provides you for a monthly fee will soon be trans­ ferred from Michigan Bell to AT&T Phone numbers will be listed on your bill to call if you have questions about your billing or service. And when you receive your new bill in December, a bill insert will clarify' the various pages of die bill in much greater detail. We want to do whatever we can to help you understand the changes that are taking place in your phone company. Please remember. . . IT’S AT&T WE RE SEPARATING FROM... NOT YOU.

Middleville. Mich. December 8.1983 counselor’s corner BY BERNARD WELLER TK Middle School Guidance Counselor Information in this article is taken from a pam­ phlet entitled Health Care For The Adolescent by June V. Schwartz. M.D. Chronic Disease. Any of these problems may beset the adolescent who had no known problems in childhood. But ob­ viously the adolescent with a chronic disease needs special care. It is hard for him to accept the fact that he is not like his friends; his activity may have to be restricted or he may have to follow a special regimen — for example, a diabetic diet. The teenager with heart disease will want to know how active he can be; he may have to have retesting of his cardiac status. The patient with epilepsy has a tendency toward more seizures in adolescence and may need adjustment of his medication. He will surely want answers to questions about vocation, marriage, how much normal activity he is allowed. The teenager with any chronic condition needs support from family and doctor and sometimes from other sources to help him, especially, weather the BILLIES BEAUTY SALON "ON THE LAKE" 555 S SHORE DRIVE - GREEN LAKE CALL 891-8017 Open Deys end Evenings By Appointment BILLIE RUSSELL OWNER 20 YEARS IN THE SAME L OCA TION MIDDLEVILLE LUTHERAN MISSION Meeting in TK Middle School Cefetehe 9 30 a m Sunday School Worship..................................................................... 11:00 am.

Sometimes a childhood condition — like asthma — will improve at adolescence; then the teenager must not be made to feel that he is an invalid. Indeed, with any chronic health problem, the aim should be to allow as much normal activity as possible under adequate supervision. It should be remembered that the adolescent with a chronic disease is subject to all the normal turmoil and pressures discussed earlier. Also, his disease may have an adverse effect on his growth and development. Or. conversely, his maturation may affect his disease — in some cases his condition may improve; in others it may worsen. Christmas Comes to Lincoln Meadow by Rosalie Shanks The tenants at Lincoln Meadow Apartments were treated on Sunday afternoon to a memorable holiday observance hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Roily Cox. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Sweet and members of the Middleville Housing Commission. The festivities started with tree trimming at 2:00 — (we have some very efficient tree-trimmers and you should see the results’!) Then in the beautifully decorated lobby and community room, nostalgic games were enjoyed with tasty hor d'oeuveres ador­ ning a well-laden table. The bountiful 5:00 o’clock buffet supper was pret­ tily arranged with colorful salads, several vegetables, choice of ham slices and condiments and a variety of cookies for dessert. The tenants thank our hosts, and the V.F.W. for their donation to help make our day so lovely, and Sherman Johnson for keeping the logs aglow in our beautiful fireplace. We were glad to have a few guests, including Sarah Johnson and Leone Sweet, and sorry Marcia Sweet had to “enjoy?” the day in a wheelchair. Better luck next year. Marcia.

He has been awarded the Combat Infantry Badge, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal and the Army Commendation Medal. John Reports that the Island people were ex­ tremely grateful to the U.S., President Reagan and the U.S. Military for coming to their aid. They were so thankful to get out from under communist rule. Wednesday. November 30, John’s brother Mark flew to Fayetteville and accompanied John driving to Middleville for a 30-day leave. Also, John and wife Anne would like to announce the birtij of their daughter, Jennifer Marie, born at Duke University Medical Center in Durham. N.C. on October 6, 1983.

John is a 1979 graduate of TK High School, and he-entered the Army in April 1981. Christmas: A Time to Reach Out To The Isolated Senior Citizen Eighty-three Christmases had come and gone for the man who. bundled in a patchwork quilt, sat quietly in his wheelchair, gazing at the frosted pane of glass It really was no matter that his view was dimmed by the icy coating. He expected no visitors. The nursing home administrator who walked by stopped to give his shoulder a friendly squeeze. “Merry Christmas Charlie,” she called with a smile. Then, turning on her heels, she sped off down the corridor and into her office. There had been an air of gaiety on the part of the nursing staff these past several weeks. Some of it was recognized by Charlie and the other residents. A great deal of the festivity seemed to go by quite unnoticed. This Christmas would probably be no different for the old man than any of the past five he had spent at the Shady Brook Rest Home. He had no living relatives. And what friends he had all seemed to be too busy these days to remember ol’ Charlie. He would savor every note sung by the caroilers who strolled the hallways on Christmas Eve. And he would enjoy the turkey dinner with his roommate. Sam. But then, with the noon meal finished, the af­ ternoon would drag on, as often many an afternoon did. His aimless thoughts wee not really so much a complaint, as simple reflections about the way things were. He was indeed thankful. His mind was still intact. And, except for the fact that he was bound to this wheelchair, he could still fend for him­ self. Besides, he concluded, wheeling himself back to his room, Christmas was for kids anyway. As you ready yourself and your family for this holiday season. I hope you will pause to consider the Charlies of this world. Christmas may be relegated to children, but isn't there a little bit of a child left in all of us. no matter what our age? Sometimes growing older is a lonely process. And. while for many the holiday season is a time of great pleasure, for some, mistletoe and holly only serve to accentuate a sense of isolation. If you know of an older person who could use a little good cheer, take time to pay them a visit this season. If you don’t know a “Charlie," consider adopting one. The Christmas spirit, in my mind, is all about extending the hand of kindness. A few outstretched hands to the Charlies this season, perhaps, will make this a better place in which to live. PRAIRIE SKETCHES Hft/> LOIS BREMER and JANETTE VAN RHE£ It’s beautiful to look at our winter wonderland — but not always so to drive in it. Right? As of right now, however. I still wouldn't trade for a land of no seasons! Paula Walters will be at the Jaycee Auxiliary Craft bazaar at the Community Building in Hastings Friday. It should also be a big Saturday in Middleville with the Christmas parade, the Auxiliary Craft bazaar at the VFW hall and a private bazaar at the Village Community Hall. Ralph and Bert Kenyon and Maxine Kenyon were at the home of Art and Ann Kenyon for an early Christmas dinner Sunday. Katie Wieringa reports that son Bill and wife Jean have moved back home from Iowa. The Van Rhees, like so many of us, are just plain getting ready for Christmas, (and it isn't as though we didn't know all year it was coming!) The Larry VanPutten family had Sunday dinner at the home of her brother, the Jim Hellers. Bob and Helen Wenger enjoyed a visit with Uncle Reg and Norine Cridler at Lowell on Sunday. Mon­ day night Helen accompanied Ethel Gibson to the candlelight service at the Bowne Center church. Dave and Sue Enders and his brother Bob and wife were guests of their folks Saturday night for dinner out in honor of both of their November an­ niversaries. Fred and Letha Buckingham enjoyed the open house Sunday in honor of the 80th birthday of Harold Thaler. Fred and Belle Matteson of Barlow Lake celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary on Tuesday, December 6. They were supper guests at the home of their daughter and husband, Paul and Betty Newman. Phil and Barb Bender hosted the Bender family Christmas at their house on Saturday night with all family members present. Sunday evening Barb and Phil enjoyed fellowship at the home of Pastor Wiley and family. Her Prairie friends may want to send Mercedes French a Christmas greeting at the Kent Com­ munity Hospital, where she is now a patient. Tom and I, Fritz and Alice Steiner, were among the many who enjoyed the hospitality of Bradford White Corporation at their annual Christmas party for salaried employees at the Middle Villa Saturday night. What a feast! Now it’s upward and onward with shopping, wrapping, baking, cleaning, making candy, writing cards, trimming the tree — and please let’s not forget the very important reason why we celebrate Christmas.

The graduates will take the state-board examination to become licensed registered nurses in February. They represent many health care facilities in the area and as registered nurses will be able to return to their work and assume greater nur­ sing care responsibihties.

There are a few rules that have been estabUshed in order to organize computer time. It would be almost impossible for pubUc patrons to schedule computer time if they had to compete with high school studen­ ts. With this in mind, we’ve estabUshed the rule that pubUc adults will have priority over students. This may be the only opportunity for pubUc patrons, while students have access during school hours. We will be happy to reserve the computer for you if you caU the Ubrary ahead of time. UsuaUy reser­ vations are assigned in half-hour blocks of time. It is possible to extend this time if no one else has requested use of the computer. Signing up ahead of time insures that you will be able to use the com­ puter at a certain time. For those who are unfamiliar with the computer, we provide a teacher s manual called I Speak Basic to My Apple by Aubrey B. Jones Jr. This provides an introduction to computer language, step-by-step directions for your first computer program and more sophisticated programs to challenge the more ex­ perienced programmer. This manual stays with the computer at all times. Here are several other books that can assist you as you become more proficient with home computers. The majority of these books emphasise the Apple computer, but some of the in­ formation is useful when working with other systems. Those who own their own home computer will find these books informative and fun! The Apple Connection by James W. Coffron.

Do you remember when you thought Christmas would never get here? On one hand, it seems ages ago. and. on the other hand, only yesterday that I watched my mother make sugar plum trees and bake all those special cakes And I spent hours poring over the catalog, admiring the tea sets, the doll carriages and oh! the beautiful dolls, each one lovelier than the last. (This one’s eyes open and close, that one has a bottle and wets her pants, and this one cries "mama ") Time seemed to go so slowly. I was sure the big day would never come. Times were simpler then, and I’m sure life was a great deal harder than we remember, but wouldn’t it be lovely if we could retain at least a small measure of that sense of delicious anticipation as we are busily making our holiday preparations? Instead of getting so hurried and harried, wouldn’t it be nice to take time to really listen to all those wonderful old carols and recapture a little of the wonder you felt all those years ago when you saw. not the shepherd’s bathrobes, the angels' tinsel halos and cheesecloth wings and Mary's robe of blue dyed sheets at the Sunday School program, but the real story of Christ ’s birth? For most Americans, a tree has become the sym­ bol. almost a prerequisite, for Christmas, and it is a beautiful one. For the first time since our first Christmas together, Don and I put up our tree and decorated it alone this year. As we hung all the special ornaments we’ve accumulated through the years on its branches, we thought back to other Christmases in our lives, each one special. But I also remember those long ago ones of my childhood. What can equal the magic and delight of seeing lights that really light up on your tree for the first time? While I have no wish to “turn back the clock,” I do sometimes wish we could shed a few layers of sophistication (or pseudo-sophistication), forget the commercialism, and put the love and warmth, the wonder, back into Christmas, maybe let a little of the child in you return for a while. •••• There is a delicious mint fudge appearing around town, and if you still don’t have your quota of goodies, you will probably want to make this confec­ tion.

Recently I wrote a Dian-’ protesting the censor­ ship of newsletters by the Democratic leadership. Since then I’ve been informed that the column can­ not be printed with legislative funds. Why? Because it contained the words “Democrat” and “Republican.” And because the person reviewing my Diary had a “philosophical difference of opinion" with my views on freedom of speech. Unbelievable? Tragically, it’s only one symptom of the shambles Lansing is in as embattled Democrats cling to their power. I^ast week not a single vote was cast in the House. Instead all eyes were on the Senate, where a second Democratic Senator had just been recalled by his constituents. Within hours of Senator Serotkin’s defeat, the remaining Democrats (plus Serotkin. whose recall had not yet been certified) rammed through a new legislative re-districting plan. The reason was sim­ ple — and reprehensible. The two successful recalls have balanced the number of Republicans and Democrats in the Senate, 18-18. Unless the Democrats win both elections to fill the vacant seats, they will lose effective control of the Michigan Senate. Thus, this past week was the last clear chance they had to gerrymander the state and vir­ tually assure Democratic control of the Senate after tha 1986 election. The Senate floor was not a pretty sight. Lieutenant Governor Martha Griffiths refused to allow Republicans their constitutional right to explain why they were voting against reapportionment. Granted, she wanted to finish the untidy business as quickly as possible. As it was. Democratic Senator Joe Mack, who has twice undergone heart surgery, had to sit through the voting with oxygen hooked up and paramedics monitoring his heart. A After the 19-18 party-line vote was completed, a curious truce was announced. House speaker GanOwen said he would hole up reapportionment in the house. Republican State party chair, Spencer Abraham, responded pledging not to use Republican party resources in future recall cam­ paigns Already the truce appears to be falling apart, and it’s no wonder. Republicans did not start and cannot stop the recall movement. It is a populist, citizen protest against the income tax increase which neither party can control. The Democrats know this, and that’s one reason why I believe they will try to push reapportionment through the House. A second reason is just plain arrogance. Re­ districting was not invented in the wake of the recall campaigns. In fact, it was the third bill introduced in the Senate when the legislature convened last January. From the beginning it was clear that con­ trol of the Governor’s office, the Supreme Court and both houses of the legislature would not be enough to satisfy the Democrats. They wanted a legislative map which would guarantee themselves a majority for the rest of the decade, regardless of voter sen­ timent. Two potential obstacles stand in the way of this greed. One is fear. If enough House Democrats decide that voting for reapportionment will fuel the recall fires, perhaps it can be stopped. Secondly, there is the Governor. Mr. Blanchard has been ducking this issue for too long. He must decide whether he will act as Governor of all the people or as the party leader for the Democrats. In part, I believe the recall movement is the result of Governor Blanchard's earlier decision to ram the income tax hike through the legislature without bi-partisan compromise. Now he faces an equally important choice. If the Governor puts on his party hat and refuses to stop reapportionment, everyone will lose in the resulting partisan blood­ shed — especially the people of Michigan. USE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS!

It's high time Michigan began to enjoy some of the reforms and economic improvements being ex­ perienced at the federal level. But that’s just a beginning Much more must be done to reform and renew Michigan's business climate and reduce the tax burden on industry. I hope this new law acts as a catalyst to start us moving on further measures to increase job com­ petitiveness in Michigan. Those Michigan businesses most hurt by layoffs and unemployment during the state's long recession will enjoy a tax cut in 1985 and 1986. thanks to a new law that passed with strong bipartisan support. The state tax cut was due in great part to the im­ proving national economy and federal tax relief to Michigan implemented by the Reagan ad­ ministration. The new act will cut about SI 11 million out of the solvency tax added to the unemployment compen­ sation tab of those "negative balance ’ businesses which, because of heavy layoffs, drew more out of the state’s unemployment compensation fund than they deposited. The bonus comes as a result of the federal gover­ nment’s move to give Michigan rebates on the in­ terest the state paid on our $2.2 billion debt. Earlier this year, the federal government eased interest charges and stretched out payment schedules as a reward to states, like Michigan, that had taken steps to begin paying off their debt. Now. Michigan's new law will scale back the solvency tax by passing on those interest savings, and more closely relating the levy to actual need. Many of us who were involved in the original unemployment compensation reform debates last year believed that the solvency tax was not needed in the first place, especially at so high a rate. We saw it as another burden to businesses already suf­ fering severe economic blows, and it's a relief to see it at least abated a bit. I’m delighted to see this type of bipartisan cooperation lead to a break for business, and I hope WELCOMING NEW < PATIENTS ntu> 8 dentaL . c°_ FAMILY DENTAL CARE JOHN D.

Schwartz. M.D. In Conclusion In order to provide full health services to teenagers, a number of Adolescent Units, as men­ tioned earlier, have been established in medical cen­ ters around the country. Here, specially interested and trained physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers and other personnel provide comprehensive care to a limited number of patients in a special clinic or hospital area. These services are usually ex­ tensions of pediatric services and are multi­ discipline in approach - Le.. they include specialists in medicine, surgery, psychiatry, gynecology, and so on. Adolescent Units aim at giving total care, which may include vocational guidance, counseling, and rehabilitation, under the supervision of a primary physician. If a patient is hospitalized he is taken care of by members of the same health team, who will continue to see him after hospitalization if necessary . While hospitalized he is in an area set aside for patients of his own age. These relatively few adolescent services ob­ viously are not treating large numbers of patients. The kind of care they provide, with much individual attention, prohibits a large clinic population. They are, however, providing physicians and other health workers with training in the special needs of the adolescent, with opportunities for research in the natural history of certain illnesses, and with an un­ derstanding of the special aspects of adolescent medicine. The Society for Adolescent Medicine was formed for the purpose of improving the quality of medical care given to adolescents, stimulating retwarch and improving communication among all health personnel engaged in the care of adolescents. Additional information about adolescent health care is available from Dale C. Garell. M.D.. Executive Secretary, Society for Adolescent Medicine, 4650 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90027. Pork Sausage 89< Chuck Roast 14 GEUKES Market DOWNTOWN MIDDLEVILLE Custom Slaughter, Cutting and Wrapping M PHONE 795-3767 The family physician who learns from this new specialty of adolescent medicine can give his young patients more responsible, effective care. Interested physicians see a twofold goal: better understanding of the dynamics and special problems of adolescence and comprehensive care, rather than fragmented care, given by a primary physician who undertakes to help both patient and parents. This should make for healthier adults.

I December 15, 1*3 Snowmobilers Can Glide on 170 Michigan Trails Hudsonville Stops Scots The Caledonia Fighting Scots opened their OK Blue basketball season by losing to Hudsonville BO54. The game was a typically close HudsonvilleCaledonia contest. The score never differed by more than 10 points and so both teams lose the lead. Hudsonville put two players in the twenties. Scott Dekkinga with 24 and Jeff Vander Wai with 23. Scot Mike Wilson paced all scorers with 31 points and 17 rebounds. Mark Mitchell had 10 points and 9 rebounds, while Scott DeVries chipped in 9 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. No one took control of the game as one team would score 4 or 6 points straight only to give up 2 or 3 baskets in a row. In the end. Caledonia had made a few too many mistakes and it cost them the game. Caledonia entertains Byron Center on Tuesday and travels to Comstock Park on Friday. Freshmen Lose, 63-35, To Hudsonville's Press The Caledonia Fighting Scot Freshman basket­ ball team journeyed to Hudsonville last Friday to come home with a 63-35 defeat. Full court pressure caused many turnovers in the opening minutes. This lead put the Eagles on top to stay. Caledonia only attempted 5 shots from the floor in the first period The game was much closer than the score. Many times both teams fought tough on defense for periods of low scoring. Then a burst of Caledonia mistakes and Hudsonville offense, lead by their guards, gave the victors their big advantage. Matt Kietzman lead Caledonia with 8 points. Strong bench performances by Craig Mulder and Mike Oliver were the biggest highlights for Caledonia. Craig came in and scored 7. 3 for 4 from the line and 2 for 4 in the field. Mike hauled in 11 rebounds and blocked a couple of shots. Tuesday the Freshmen take on Byron Center at home and on Friday. Byron Center Christian.

Curt Bode, John Frey, Mike King, Eric Seubring. Steve Lynch, Brent VanPolen and Mike Seger. Trojans Hang On To Beat Rebels Score early and hang on seemed to be Mid­ dleville's “game plan” last Friday night, as the Trojans had to hold off Lee in the second half to win 49-40. “We made a lot of mistakes and had too many turnovers." observed Coach Skip Pranger. The Trojans at one time had an 18 point lead but then, “lost our poise for a while.’’ Hitting only 37% from the floor, Middleville looked colder than the outside temperature. They were a little better at the free throw line, making 47% of those shots. Middleville came off like gangbusters in the first half, scoring 12 points in the first quarter and ad­ ding 15 more in the second period. Meanwhile. Lee was able to score only 13 points. The third period was about even in the scoring department with Middleville dumping in 13 more points to Lee’s 12. In the final frame the Trojans were out-scored by their visitors, 15-9. High point man for the Trojans was their big cen­ ter, Dave Perry, who dumped in 15 points and grab­ bed 8 rebounds. Craig Mathiesen had 11 points, followed by Steve Miller and Tim Heffner at 8 each. Tom Schwartz also took in 8 rebounds for Mid­ dleville. This Friday night Kelloggsville comes to the Middleville gym.

Happy Sixties Enjoy Yule Potluck by Lillian Schultz On December 5, the Caledonia Happy 60 Club held their Christmas potluck and program at Holy Family Catholic hall with 37 attending. Many were absent because of illness. Sister Margaret Schneider, our special guest, gave the prayer for the day and for the Christmas season, then all sat down to beautifully decorated tables. After the dinner we had a real nice sing-a-long of Christmas carols. Hilda Chapel was the pianist. Madge Ruehs read the opening, then president Lillian Schultz read the story of the miracle of Silent night, the most beautiful carol of all. After singing Jingle Bells, the closing prayer was read by Lillian. Refreshments of cookies, birthday cake and punch were served to all. Many thanks to all who donated our goodies. �VILLA LANES Classified Ad Rates WANTED 100Per Word, Per Insertion If you pey in advance, you save a fl.OO billing charge Mail your check with the form below, or after you call in your ad!

By Chris Boysen Public Library Assistant Since we made such a big production of the Christmas season last year with three columns devoted to wonderful Christmas books, I was going to let the holidays come and go without much fan­ fare. After re-reading last years’ columns, I realized that some Christmas books had been neglected, probably because I thought everyone had read them. I checked the cards and found that several had not circulated in years. This column will serve as a reminder to those who have read them (many years ago) and an introduction to those who have somehow missed them. They truly are best loved books, stories and poems of Christmas. You wont forget them for a long time! A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. First published in 1843, this book has become one of the best loved Christmas stories. Miracle on 34th Street by Valentine Davies. The story of an old man who thinks he is Santa Claus. Especially at Christmas by Celestine Sibley. Short stories that emphasize that people are the most important, not things. The spirit of Christmas should involve gifts of people themselves. While the Angels Sing by Gladys Hasty Carroll. The Christmas spirit triumphs in this most difficult Christmas of all; the first since Selena's husband's death. Christmas Without Johnny by Gladys Hasty Carroll. The disappearance of a troublesome nineyear-old boy causes his parents, teachers and friends to reflect on how they have failed him and how much they miss him. Miracle in the Wilderness - A Christmas Story of Colonial America by Paul Gallico. An Indian raid surprises colonial settlers on Christmas Eve. Especially nice for fourth, fifth and sixth graders. Three Legends by Paul Gallico. Contains Miracle in the Wilderness, Ludmila and The Snow Goose. Excellent reading! Suitable for young readers. Homebook of Christmas edited by May Lamber­ ton Becker. Included are Christmas carols, poetry and short stores. One of the all time favorites. The Gift of the Magi by O Henry is found in this book. The Sister of the Angels by Elizabeth Goudge. Henrietta cannot wait for Christmas in her gran­ dfather's cathedral. The Nutcracker by Toshiko Yamanushi. Here is the story that inspired Tchaikovsky’s ballet, writ­ ten for children. Christmas Treasures produced by Hallmark Car­ ds. Contains Christmas verses, stories, carols, art and articles. Illustrations that will delight you! The Birds' Christmas Carol by Kate Douglas Wiggin. A beautiful, heartbreaking Christmas story you won’t forget Readers in the Junior High will especially appreciate it. The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Ander­ son Children everywhere remember this story about a little girl, whose light never fades. The Night Before Christmas by Clement Clark Moore. I’ve yet to meet a child that tires of this poem All of these are wonderful books. They can heighten the Christmas spirit and remind you of Christmases of yesterday All are time tested and still greatly loved. Merry Christmas!

Greetings from the Scouts Pete Hernandez. Scoutmaster, and the Scouts of Troop 65, Middleville, would like to wish the com­ munity a very Merry Christmas and a blessed new year. Woman's Whirl WITH JOANNE BOYSEN This is the time of year when I d like to forget all the everyday tasks that need doing and concentrate on the fun things. By the time the meals, dishes, cleaning, laundry, etc., get done. I run out of time, energy and enthusiasm for all the special projects and usually wind up saving them for "later.” ‘‘Later’’ often never arrives, and it is really hard to gift wrap good intentions. Perhaps my inability to follow through with so many of my ideas and projects gives me a better ap predation for those thoughtful people who can and do. A young friend of ours who lives in Oregon is just such a person. Last week we received a box from her addressed to the Boysen family. Inside the box. packed in damp newspapers, was a wreath made of green moss, decorated with tiny cones and strings of thin, colored beads. Surrounding the wreath was more moss, cedar and other evergreen boughs, and cuttings of the most beautiful fresh holly. All these things she had gathered in the woods, carefully packed and sent to us so that we could share a little of her part of this great country of ours. Many of you good cooks have shared treats from your kitchens with us already — cinnamon and fruit breads, cookies, candies. One. who knows how much we enjoy coffee, gave us a selection of exotic coffees to try along with all those goodies. Christmas day has not yet arrived, but the spirit of Christmas certainly has for us. We enjoy and ap predate that caring and sharing which is so much a part of Christmas. As we gather our families around us to observe the rituals and traditions which symbolize Christ­ mas, I hope that this one will be a special one to add to your storehouse of happy memories and brighten the year to come. May Christmas. 1983, be the best year and 1984 bring good things to you. urprise! Surprise!

Following the conversion, the three Associations will continue to operate as separate wholly-owned subsidiearies of the holding company under the direction of their present management and boards of directors. According to Charles G. Conville. Mutual Home president and chief Executive Officer, the conver­ sion will be accomplished through a stock offering of the holding company stock, first in a subscription rights offering to the depositors and borrowers of each Association, and then to the general public through a public offering. Proceeds of the offering will be used to expand the availability of loans and other products and services in the 26 communities the Associations are currently serving throughout central and southwestern Michigan. "We believe this type of conversion is a first. Conville said. "While we will operate as independent units, we also will be exploring how to maximize the collective strengths of our people and markets so as to better serve our constituencies. The holding com­ pany will be the catalyst to explore additional business opportunities including other acquisitions. The flexibility we will have under the holding com­ pany will maximize our synergies and position us for aggressive, profitable growth in this rapidly changing financial services industry. We believe it will greatly benefit our customers, com­ munities.employees and shareholders'*, he added. The total amount of stock to be issued and sold in the conversion will be determined based upon an appraisal of the aggregate pro-forma fair market value of the three Associations as subsidiearies of the holding company. The members of the initial board of directors of the holding company will be selected from the members of the present boards of the Associations. Mutual Home’s Conville will serve as president and chief operating officer for the holding company. Robert E. Clark, president of Capitol Federal Savings and Loan Association. Lansing, will serve as chairman of the board of the holding company. Norman P.

The holding company will represent combined assets of over $1.25 billion with 40 offices located in 26 communities. Mutual Home had September 30. 1983 total assets of $350 million with six Grand Rapids locations and offices in Holland, Jenison. Kentwood. Middleville. Rockford. Sparta, Walker and Belding. As of September 30, 1983. Capitol Federal had total assets of $440 million and has three offices in Lansing, and additional offices in DeWitt, East Lansing, Grand Ledge. Mason, Okemos, St. Johns.

Under the plan, protection is available to qualifying customers who agree to pay a budgeted amount toward their energy bills during the fourmonth December through March period and the balance during the remainder of the year. They must also agree to apply for state or federal heating assistance. If an eligible customer has already had his or her service shut off for nonpayment, the customer may have service restored without a fee or a security deposit if he or she seeks assistance through the plan. The program is available to customers who are below certain income levels, or are receiving government assistance of some kind (such as food stamps or Medicaid), and to those who are age 65 or older. “Customers who think they might be eligible for the program should call the phone number printed on their utility bill,” said Mabin. "People should be sure to make us aware of their problems. We can’t help unless they call.” Besides the Winter Protection Plan, other programs are available through governmental agen­ cies. For example, the Heating Assistance Program of the Michigan Department of Social Services provides shutoff protection from October through March. Information about this and ether gover­ nment assistance programs may be obtained by calling the state's toll-free Home Heating Assistan­ ce Hotline at 1-800-292-5650. R&^VISC REALTORS OF CALEDONIA PHONE 891-9219 ★ CALEDONIA WITH OFFICES IN CALEDONIA AND DUTTON, MICHIGAN FOR PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE SERVICE Henry Nyhult 891-1504 Tips on Farm Tax Management As the 1983 calendar year winds down, it is most appropriate and important to take a hard look at the farm financial picture from a tax management viewpoint. There is ample opportunity to make ad­ justments that may be beneficial to you as you at­ tempt to balance out your income and expenses. Dr. M.P.Kelsey, Extension specialist in Farm Management. MSU. provides us with a number of tax management tips A basic tax management guideline is to avoid wide fluctuations in taxable income, as a relatively uniform income from year to year results in the lowest income tax over time. Most of us recognize 1983 is not a normal year for farm income expenses. If you participated in the PIK program, expenses are lower than 1982. Also, be sure you are correctly interpreting the tax con­ sequences of your CCC loand and/or PIK payments. If 1983 will be a high income year, study the effec­ ts of income averaging on your tax situation. The ef­ fect will vary with your taxable income in the last four years. Depending on your tax situation, you may wish io reduce or increase net income for 1983. The following are some of best income eveners.: a) Buy or delay purchase of supplies such as fer­ tilizer. seed, farm supplies, small tools, repairs, etc. b) Pay in 1983 or delay payment to 1984 on real estate taxes and other annual bills (insurance premiums, real estate rental and interest cannot be paid for in advance to obtain an earlier tax deduc­ tion.) c) Watch the timing of sales of livestock and crops ready for market near the end of the year. Possibly they can be held for sale the next year at little cost. d) Some expenses are deductible as current year business expenses even though not made every year. These include minor repairs and improvements of machinery, painting of buildings, purchase of small tools and supplies, and weather limitations, cost of soil and water conservation expenses, and land clearing. It is important to get the job done and paid for before year’s end if you wish to reduce net income. e) Where capital purchases have been made, or can be made, study the new Accelerated Cost Recovery deduction carefully . Be aware Investment Credit also applies. Also be aware, dollare spent on investments are not as effective as cash expenses in reducing the current year’s taxes. Starting in 1983 the basis of assets on which investment tax credit has been taken must be reduced by 50% of the ITC taken or the ITC must be reduced by 2% (10% to 8% or 6% to 4%.« f) Pay your children wages for work actually per­ formed for the farm. If the child is under 19 or regularly enrolled in school, it can earn any amount and the parent can still claim an exemption for it if they pay over half the child’s support. g) Frequently unrecorded and forgotten expenses include: 1. Educational expenses which maintain or im­ prove your skills such as magazine subscriptions, books, fees at Extension or other agricultural organization meetings. 2. Travel expenses connected with your business, particularly if it includes meals and lodging. 3. Entertainment expenses when hosting others where the “predominate purpose” is the furthering of your farm business operation. Finally, sharpen up your pencil and calculator skills now to fully utilize these management tips. Also, it is not too early to contact your Cooperative Extension Service personnel to discuss the possibility of handling your 1984 farm records via the Telfarm computer program. The Kent County Cooperative Extension service is located at 836 Fuller NE. Grand Rapids, 774-3265. USE SUN & NEWS CLASSIFIEDS! PHONE 795-3345 �The Sun and News. Middleville. Mich. / December 22. 1983 Extension Service Offers Information on Solar Collector Capitol by Senator Dick Ponthum Michigan should adopt a strong “workfare" program which would require welfare recipients to perform public service jobs, attend school, or learn new work skills to receive benefits. There is strong opposition to Governor Blan­ chard’s 38% income tax increase. Voters overwhelmingly oppose Medicaid funding for abortion. And they also strongly favor putting more of their tax dollars toward increased law enforcement. Those are some of the results obtained from a six­ teen question opinion survey which I maled to the residents of my district this fall. Here are some of the findings from the survey: —Nearly 96 percent of those responding to the survey favored a “workfare” program that would require welfare recipients to perform public service jobs, attend school, or learn new work skills in order to receive their benefits. Only three percent op­ posed. The remainder had no opinion. —Governor Blanchard s 38% income tax increase was opposed by 77 percent, favored by 19 percent and four percent had no opinion. —And apparently if you had your way. Medicaid funding for abortions would be banned. It was op­ posed by 70 percent, favored by 23 percent and seven percent had no opinion. On the question of where tax monies should be allocated, 51 percent said more money needs to go to law enforcemtn, while only six percent said we need additional funds for Social Services. In addition, 41 percent said Social Services expenditures should be reduced; and 46 percent said less money should go to mass transit, while only 15 percent said more money should go to mass transit. I was most pleased with the number of responses and additional comments I received from the 86,000 legislative questionnaires which were mailed throughout the district. This survey provides me an opportunity to learn what the citizens in. my district are thinking. Your thoughts are most helpful in assisting me in voting on the many important issues which come before the Legislature. Most of the comments stressed no more tax in­ creases. It is also apparent there is a great hostility toward the welfare system in Michigan. People are frustrated over abuses and inefficiencies in the system and are not willing to pay more taxes only to see their hard-earned dollars being spent on more welfare. I appreciate the support you have given me during my first year as your State Senator. And I want to take this opportunity to wish each of you and yours a very happy holiday season and best wishes for a better 1984.

To be held is enormously therapeutic.” Researchers have also discovered that hugging can help you live longer, protect you against illness, cure depression and stress, strengthen family relationships and even help you sleep without pills. “Hugging is an excellent tonic," declared Dr. Harold Voth. senior psychiatrist at the prestigious Hanninger Foundation in Topeka. Kansas. “It has been shown scientifically that people who are men­ tally run-down and depressed are far more prone to sickness than those who are not. "Hugging can lift depression — enabling the body’s immune system to become tuned up. Hugging breathes fresh life into a tired body and makes you feel younger and more vibrant. “In the home, daily hugging will strengthen relationships and significantly reduce friction.” “I’m convinced that the tender embrace can prevent or cure a host of different problems.” said Dr. Robert Rynearson. who is chairman of the psychiatry department at Scott and White Clinic in Temple, Texas. "A hug can gave an astonishing therapeutic effect by providing a sense of companionship and hap­ piness.” “Researchers discovered that when a person is touched the amount of hemoglobia in their blood in­ creases significantly,” said Helen Colton, author of the forthcoming “The Joy of Touching.” “Hemoglobin is a part of the blood that carries vital supplies of oxygen to all organs of the body — including the heart and brain. An increase in homoglobin tones up the whole body, helps prevent disease and speeds recovery from illness. “My 15 years of research have convinced me that regular hugging can actually prolong life by curing harmful depression and stimulating a stronger will to live.” Pamela McCoy, R.N. who trains nurses at Grant Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, said, “We found that people who are hugged or touched can often stop taking medication to get to sleep.” “The warm, meaningful embrace can have a very positive effect on people, particularly during times of widespread stress and tension like today,’’ Dr. Voth added. “Hug your spouse, your children, close friends or relatives. If you live alone, the warm embrace with a friend whenever you meet is just as beneficial. It’s a marvelous way to improve the quality of your life. ” “Sometimes I just take out my prescription pad,” Dr. Bresler said, “and then I write out a prescrip tion for four hugs a day — one at breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtimp ” Dr. Anderson SALUTES NOVEMBER PATIENTS OF THE MONTH" Matt Doorn bos Holly Doornbos Jessica Pratt Jayma Sc hut for their efforts in attaining ex cellent oral health TOE HAPPY TOOTH HOHOR ROLL Tony Coulter Don Klump Lori Klump Tom Klump Ken Klump Rob Kenyon Mike Lytle Tina Williams JimVsnHouten Jeff VanHouten Mike Millhouse Gloria Schleh Debbie Schleh Ken Schleh 15 Kent Enyart Coleman Mike Carvsro Jr. Heather Brav Ruth Caton Mtke Kaecheie John DeR»OOer Ann Fredenberg Wes Rosenberg John Fredenberg Doug Manage Sandy McAiary Kathy Doombos Tony Plants J«m Baughman Bev Swanson Darrell Baughman Marty Bud David Ramey Randy Patmer Dav(d Phdhp Hoffman Amy Srwder Vicki Hyatt LuAnn Srwder John ^y^ Mike Schbewe Ron Mugndge Haru Davis Justtn McHoskey ♦ Beer, Mix, Snacks and Lunch Are Furnished.

(PEACE ON (EARTH In hundreds of countries, in thousands of dialects, people are announcing Christmas. In every culture it will be the children who are the most excited. They will lead us in marking this day with special events and programs. The child in all of us should respond to the simple news: Jesus is bom! This is not a day for speculation or argument; it is a day for simple acknowledgment and unrestrained joy. Today let us join with people all over the world in singing these words from a familiar carol: "O Savior, we greet Thee, bom this happy morning; O Jesus, to Thee be all glory given. Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing. O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.” As we are among family and friends today, let each of us tell of a way that our world is dif­ ferent because of the presence of Jesus. And let us spend a little time sharing with others the difference the arrival of Jesus has made in our own lives. Doing so will make us sing and celebrate the more. ** “To God be the glory, great things He has done!” Roetman Funeral Chapel Caledonia, MI Charles Roetman Director Phone 891-8155 Freeport, MT Charles Roetman, Director D.

Remember the plaques you’ve seen that say “Lord, give me patience, and I want it now!” .. about now I ’d like to absorb large quantities of patience — for myself — so there would be no hurry to buy this last-minute thing, or that forgotten item, or make one more batch of cookies or candy, or add one more ornament to the tree. But time to sit with a small child and watch his or her face as they behold the won­ ders of a decorated tree ... and time to see a Sunday School program, listening to the words rather than noticing which child is clowning backstage ... time to listen to the beautiful Christmas carols and just let the music sink in ... time to say “Happy Birthday Jesus • thank you." This is mostly a week of anticipation - we Bremers are looking forward to having our children home for Christmas on Sunday after­ noon. Only there’s the small item of a baby who may decide that’s the best day of the year to be bom (and who can argue with that?). We hope by the time we write Prairie Sketches in January there will be a new little Bremer up in Shepherd to tell about.

More Prairie Sketches Continued from Page 17 To our neighbors in Florida and in Texas your homes look like pictures on old fashioned cards. The snow lays beautifully clean and un­ mussed, and Monday when the temperatures were down to minus fifteen, the smoke from the chimneys went straight up. Pure serenity. Have a good holiday. Closer to home, we invite all to pass by, or stop at, the living nativity scene that is located at the Middleville Doctors office on M-37. The folks are standing from 6:30 to 8:30 each evening until Christmas. I will probably sneak in some night for an hour and pretend to be an old shepherd - it's become a part of our obser­ vance of Christmas, cold feet and all!
