Maple Valley News Editorial MAPLE SYRUP THIS WEEKEND rrnpntvllle,' Michigan This week, we have published a special edition of The Maple Valley News, commemorating the 1976 Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival. The issue is being circulated to several nearby communities, in addition to our normal coverage area, and will be sold at the festival on Saturday. By doing this, we hope to inform those who are not our regular readers about the events, history and activities surroun­ ding the weekend. This is the first time we have published The Maple Valley News during festival time, however, we have covered the festival for many years with Hie Reminder. A number of stories and feature articles have been included here from our past year’s work with The Maple Valley News. Some are historic, some involve the people of the area and all help to shed more light on Maple Valley and the weekend’s events. Our paper is the only newspaper that continually serves the VermontvilleNashville community and, in the “valley”, will be the official publication for the festival weekend.

Forced early to be self-reliant, to depend for survival on their skills and ingenuity, the colonists and pioneers learned to use the resources of their new country. Lumber from the endless woods built homes and cities, rivers supplied power for ships, fish and game were plentiful. They planted the vegetables and grains they brought with them and learned from the Indians to grow corn, tobacco, and a variety of fruits and vegetables new to them. The settlers could find deposits of salt, but sugar was in short supply. The Indians showed them how to make sugar from the trees that grew all around them. Since those early days, plan­ ting and harvesting techniques have improved. We have domesticated beef and poultry for milk and meat and eggs. But tapping the maple trees for the dark, sweet syrup and sugar is done today much the same way it has been done for hundreds of years. Going from Reinhart Zemke’s modern farm home and barns a mile through the fields to the sugar shack is like riding back into the past. The pickup truck or the big John Deere tractor leaves, you off, and you are standing in the woods as you could have a hundred years ago. The steam from the boiling sap rises softly through the bare branches of the trees and is cut across by the white slash of a jet stream. Only then are you aware that time has not gone backward but that a very old process is continuing in the present. “A group of people from Vermont came ‘out west’ 150 years ago,” says Reinhart Zemke, “and settled the heavy ground and beech and maple woods, fashioning a town and calling it Vermontville. The Congregational minister came first to establish the groundwork and lay out the town, and the settlers followed him soon after. The Congregational Church and school they built were the back­ bone of the community and haven’t changed much since those early days. “They brought with them their skill of making syrup and sugar from the native sugar-maple trees, and each spring made enough sugar for their own use the rest of the year. “Hard times came in the late 50's and during the Second World War. sugar was again in short supply. The art of making maple syrup and sugar was revived on a commercial basis and has been continued each spring since that time. “The Zemke’s came here from Germany. My dad and uncle came in the late 1800’s. There Dan Cook (son in law) gathering the sap throughout the woods. were ten in the family, and my grandparents and all but two of the children followed soon after. I was born arid raised in the homestead down the road and bought this farm from my bachelor uncle in the early ’30’s. I’ve been tapping the trees and boiling maple syrup more than thirty years. “Maple syrup is the first crop of the season. Warm days and freezing nights are the best ‘sugar weather.’ Tapping of the trees begins usually around the middle of February. A tap hole is drilled with a slight downward slant about two inches into the cambium layer of the hard or ‘sugar’ maple tree. We drive a metal spile into the tap hole and hang a covered galvanized bucket. Trees will support one to as many as four buckets, depending on the size of the tree. As the sap rises to nourish the tree, it drips from the spile into the pail. In good weather, the sap runs about one drop per second and will fill a pail in less than 24 hours. “We gather the sap an equal distance on either side of a path winding through the woods, going the same way each time to avoid missing a bucket. We tap almost 700 trees in our woods and hang about 1025 buckets. The sap is gathered by hand and poured into a storage tank and brought back to the sugar house. “We have a 4x16 ft. copper King evaporator that I bought new in Vermont around 1948. The lop is sectioned off and the sap moves from section to section toward the finishing pan as it heats and thickens. Underneath, a hot fire is kept burning. Some producers use fuel oil or natural gas, but we burn wood and a little coal. Regardless of the fuel used, you come out with the same product. “Sap is boiled in the open pan and the water, in the sap is evaporated, rising as steam t hrough the open top of our sugar house. Ordinarily it takes about two hours and thirty gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. So far this year, we have needed four hours and sixty gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup. The quicker the sap is gathered and boiled, the better. You have to keep your eyes on it all the lime, stoking the fire and taking off the finished syrup. You can �prevent boil over by running a knife with a little butter on it through the syrup. It goes right down. Sugar makers used to tie a piece of fat just above the top of the pan to prevent the syrup from boiling over. During the sugar season, I spend most of the daylight hours in the sugar house. “There are several ways to test if the syrup is done. The oldest and still reliable way is simply to drop a thin stream from the skimmer and judge the color and thickness. Women have for years used this method of dropping a thin stream ofboiling liquid into a cup of water to test its con­ sistency and temperature instead of using a candy thermometer. “The hot liquid is then filtered to remove any ‘sugar sand’ or sediment, cooled, ancLcanned in pint, quart, half-gallon, and gallon containers. A gallon of standard maple syrup weighs 11 pounds and has a 65.5 percent sugar content. Syrup is graded according to flavor, color, den­ sity, clarity, and general ap­ pearance. A light colored syrup with the true maple flavor is judged best “It doesn’t take an expert to know when syrup is good. Just pour it lavishly over a stack of hot pancakes and savor the sweet­ ness. That taste-test is the best test there is. “We generally get between 200 and 350 gallons a season, and that’s just enough for my stan­ ding orders. It takes continuous work and long hours to make syrup each spring, but when it’s over, I always hate to quit. “Careful tapping does not harm a tree. A new cambium layer grows each year, the old layer becomes part of the heart that supports the tree. Tapping holes are usually about 4 feet from the ground. It does leave a scar as the wood heals over it, but the rest of the tree is perfectly good for lumber. With lumber at premium prices, many w6ods are being cut off and not replaced. It always makes me sad to see a woods go. “Sugaring is the first but only a sideline crop on our land,” Mr. Zemke explains. “With my son­ in-law, Dan Cook, we farm about 1200 acres in corn and crops, feed out lambs, hogs, and about 200 head : of cattle each year, and keep around 100 chickens for eggs and poultry. We used to have some dairy cows, but I sold them out a few years ago.” Reinhart Zemke and his wife Polly have four daughters, Margaret Cook, whose husband Dan works the farm with her father; Jean Booher, who lives at St. Mary’s Lake; Mary, a secretary in the insurance office in Battle Creek; and Edith, assistant administrator of a section of Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo. “My daughters and my five grandchildren,” says Reinhart, “are the best crop I got.” Reinhart Zemke is not seriously thinking of retiring. “I’m looking forward to next year. I’ll be 72, and the govern­ ment will let me keep all the income I want. Guess they figure you can’t do much harm at that age." Mr. Zemke is a Mason, a member of the advisory board of the Sunfield Elevator, on the board of the Congregational Church in Vermontville, and president of the Festival Association. Vermontville is the biggest area in the state for the production of maple syrup. This is the fifth year that Reinhart Zemke has been chairman of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival. “They tell me,” he says, “that I have a good knack of passing out the work. “The Vermontville Festival began in the local barber shop over 35 years ago. Prior to then, those who made syrup had to peddle it to the towns around and door to door. How much better it would be, they decided, to bring people here to buy and celebrate with a festival. “From that chance remark, the Maple Syrup Festival has grown, and brings an annual crowd of ten to twenty thousand people in the two days. We have rides for the kids and con­ cessions, a small-animal display, and the Maple Manor is in con­ tinuous operation to demonstrate how maple syrup is made. Hospitality is the main theme of the festival, with pancakes and fresh maple syrup for all. The producers have syrup and maple sugar and candy on sale both days. “This year,” Mr. Zemke continues, “the Bi-Centennial Wagon Train will be in Ver­ montville both days of the Festival on its way from California to Washington, D.C. The maple syrup season is usually about 5 or six weeks long. We try, but we can’t really predict how good the season will be till it’s over. But we can be certain that the Maple Syrup Festival, the last weekend of April, will be a time for celebrating and fun for all ages.” Vermontville is making the most of its resources. They bring a heritage from the distant past into the present and celebrate it. In those few days of the Festival weekend, people come to savor the maple syrup, but also to remember and renew their ap­ preciation of the self-reliant spirit of America.

Main St. 726-0569 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, April 21, 1976 — Page 7 Vermontville . . . how the town got: its beginning The building of the Erie Canal began the flow of settlers to the Northwest Territory, as this land was called at that time. There were few settlers in 1831, though the first step to open Michigan to settlers was the Treaty of Saginaw in 1819 with the Chippewas. A large tract of land which included all of Eaton County was ceded to the government. In 1835 Rev. Sylvester Cochrane a Congregational minister came to Michigan and found the settlers so scattered that it was difficult to organize schools or churches. Back home, in East Poultney, Vermont, the Reverend Mr. Cochrane took his idea to families interested in moving to Michigan. Finally, on March 27, 1836, at Castleton, Vermont, rules and regulations were drawn up for what was to be called the Union Colony. (This document is unique, and is on file in the office of the Register of Deeds of Eaton County.) A committee of two was set up to pass on the worthiness of the applicants for membership. To be accepted, one had to be definitely and thoroughly op­ posed to the use of liquor in any form. A committee of three was named to journey to Michigan to explore and purchase land for the Colony. They were to buy three square miles of land, and as much more as the collective funds would permit. On April 2, 1836, S.S. Church and William G. Henry left Ver­ mont with the Colony’s money in a cowhide valise. In Western New York they were joined by Wait J. Squier. Upon reaching Detroit they waited 24 hours for the stage - and open wagon. Because the roads were bad, in addition to paying their fare, they had to help pry the wagon out of the mud where the holes were the deepest. Their objective was the United States Land Office at Kalamazoo. They found the land through Colonel Barnes, a surveyor. Only one other parcel had been pur­ chased in the Township. By this time Colonel J.B. Scovill, the other member of the scouting party, with others of the colonists had arrived. After purchasing the land they returned to the site and laid out the village according to plans drawn up in Vermont; One mile, 40 rods long East and West, and one-half mile North and South. There were 36 lots, each 20 rods in width, extending 80 rods, containing 10 acres each. From the four center lots, one acre was taken for the Village Square. The farm lots of 160 acres were located around the Village as agreed in Vermont for the sum of $212.50. Bellevue was the nearest place to get green tea, also the Post Office and the grist mill were located there. Most of the trading, however, was done in Marshall and at the saw mill at Kalamo. It was from the saw mill at Kalamo that Wait J. Squier drew his Jumber for the first frame house in 1837-38. Michigan made early provision for canals. One, the Clinton Kalamazoo from Lake St. Clair to Lake Michigan, was surveyed along the Thornapple River and the work of construction on the Eastern end commenced, but it was never carried through. The first school was taught in a private home in 1838. That fall a log schoolhouse was built on the northwest corner of the square. (A boulder marks the spot.) The Congregational Church was organized in 1838. During the first few years they spent more money on religion and education then any other town. Of the 22 heads of the families all but two were members of the Congregational Church. By 1837 the village stretched out a mile long from East to West with two rows of log houses fronting the street ten to forty rods apart. There was one frame house. The log houses featured floors split out of white ash, roofed with peeled basswood, a ladder through a hole in one corner to go upstairs, a trap door in the floor for the cellar, a huge In the backgrownd, Museum (Academy) and the foregound, Methodist Church.

Before candles could be made, a strip of cotton flannel placed in an open dish of lard, and resting on the edge was used to furnish the light. Dr. Kedzie bought his first gallon of kerosene for $1.50 and a lamp with chimney for $3, in the fifties. Dr. Robert Kedzie came to Vermontville in 1852 to practice medicine. He enlisted in Dec. 1861 as assistant surgeon of the 12th Regiment of Michigan Infantry, leaving his wife and 3 boys. His first encounter was at the battle of Shiloh, where he was captured with all his hospital. Dr. Kedzie was Professor of Chemistry at Mich. Agricultural College, a position he held for 39'^ years. He was an Abolitionist along with Armstrong, Hopkings, and Willard Davis. Davis was one of the colonists, though one of the best read men in town and a political outcast until the other 3 moved in. He was elected as a representative in the State Legislature in 1857. Vermont pioneers settled what later became know as Vermontville. For about the first ten years of the village’s life, until he moved away, Morton’s blacksmith shop was the place for general discussion. A store was opened in 1853. Sawy or Saaba, the Chief of the local Indians, the Pottawatomies, was a frequent visitor in the area. He became enamored with a bright young lady of the village and made proposals of marriage to her father. He proposed to buy her and offered to give 4 ponies and$25br 5 ponies and no money. In 1843 the Congregational Chapel was built on the Nor­ thwest corner of the Square to be used for a school and church. This building is still standing, and together with the Congregational. Church are registered Historic Landmark Buildings, also National Registered Landmark Buildings. An Academical Association was formed in 1846, with the Rev. W.U.

The 90 year old house was donated by the Putnam’s to the Village of Nashville for use as a library (Maple Valley News Photo). The Putnam Public Library in Nashville has been serving Nash­ ville area residents for 52 years. It was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Putnam built in the winter of 1884-85. The 90 year old house was donated in the Putnam will to the village of Nashville to be used as a library. The will also included a large French wall clock, antique walnut chairs, large portraits of the donors, and 300 books. The library now has 13,980 volumes of books in stock. A trust fund of $10,000 was left to the village for maintaining the library and an additional $1,000 Union Church Service United Methodist Church First Congregational Church Sunday, April 25,1976 10 a.m. — Outdoors Center of Town Maple Syrup Festival Vermontville, Mich. for remodeling. In remodeling, a partition was taken out between the living room and a bedroom, making a large room which is now the main part of the library. Another partition was removed between the dining room and con­ servatory, providing a large children’s room. The parlor remained intact, and is now used as the reference and reading room. The Nashville Women’s Literary Club petitioned the village to start the library and asked to do the work in establishing it. The house began functioning as a library in 1923. The library was supported by funds contributed by Nashville Village, Castleton Township, and interest from the endowment fund given by the Putnam’s.

Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, April 21, 1976 — Page 12 Producers harvesting one of nature’s ‘sweetest’products k typical ‘Maple Syrup Shanty*, where long hours from dedicated producers will spend the syrup season. The Corey shanty produces about 300 gallons of syrup a year. Identity. . a thing that com­ munities all over the world strive a achieve. They often invest thousands upon thousands of dollars to create something that isn’t or build something that is theirs. In Maple Valley, identity comes naturally, for it’s nature’s product its people are famous for. Many years ago, the early settlers learned from the Indians the value ofunique resource from the sap of one special tree. That tree, of course, is the hard maple, which gave the area its name. Today, maple syrup is served on breakfast tables everywhere. But to the people of Maple Valley, syrup is more than a food, it’s a tradition, for they are the ones who make it all possible. Maple syrup is a woodland crop produced only in late winter or early spring. The trees tapped should have a minimum diameter of ten inches at a point four and a half inches from the ground. Larger trees can ac­ commodate two or more buckets at a time. The date of tapping varies, driving the spile. The sap is collected and deposited in the gathering tank. This is sometimes done with a suction pump, but usually by hand, which is expensive and hard work. After collecting, the sap is emptied into a storage tank which is located near the sugar house. If the tank is located underground, the sap is pumped to an overhead and flows by gravity to the evaporator, an open pan used to boil the water from the sap. The boiling process reduces 30-50 gallons of sap into one gallon of syrup. Each tap will yield about 15 to 20 gallons of sap per season, with an average sugar content of two and a half percent. When the “run” is on, the farmers often spend 24 hours a day collecting the sap and operating the sugar house. One gallon of maple syrup will produce seven to eight pounds of maple candy or maple sugars. Sap entering the evaporator is controlled by a float and the sap flows toward the finishing pan as it evaporates. Jan. Brad, and Curt Benedict collect the sap that will soon become the sweet product. (Maple Valley News Photo) Syrup is more than a food, it's a tradition, for these are the people who make it possible. oto)0 and HarOld Benedict relax after completing this year’s crop. (Maple Valley News Albert Bell hard at work at his shanty (Maple Valley News Photo) �It takes 30 to 50 gallons of maple sap to make one gallon maple syrup. Many of the long time syrup producers in Maple Valley said this was one of the worst production years they could remember. The sap stopped flowing a couple of weeks earlier than usual and the sugar content was low, in some cases taking as much as 65 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup.

Many of them still burn wood or coal to boil the sap, while others use crank case oil or natural gas for fuel. Most still gather sap by hand, while some have progressed to mechanical gathering systems. The following is a panorama of brief sketches about the association members. We hope this will familiarize our readers with the different people and their various operations, who bring the sweet product to you. The Corey Farm, northbound on Ionia Highway outside Ver­ montville has been in the family for five generations. They started making syrup in 1918. The farm is now run by the Corey sisters, Olive and Flossie, a brother, Arthur Shetenhelm, and his son, Tim. They also employ four gatherers during the peak of the syrup season.

With many untapped trees, the Benedicts look toward a sweet future. Their uncle, Harold Benedict, has been making syrup as long as he can remember, since he helped his father as a boy. It is common for his copper evaporator to produce about 300 gallons yearly. He put in 700 taps this year. Benedict’s son, Brian, became a partner in the business this year and his contribution was very beneficial. Benedict’s wife, the former Edith Van Blarcom, is an expert candy maker. Thdir grandson, Terry, a student at Michigan State University and living at their home, also helped this year. The Benedicts have eight children, including Iris Wion of Vermontville and Karen Benedict who was the 1968 Maple Syrup Queen. The Bell and Gardner operation is a multi-family production between Albert and Paul Bell, and Gerald Gardner. Albert Bell said he started toting buckets of sap for his father when he was four years old. They credit much of their success to Bill and Dorothy Swift and family, who do most of the gathering. Another neighbor, Harold Dishong, also helps. The producers use crank case oil and a blacksmith blower with electric motor to boil the sap, which usually produces 350-400 gallons of syrup a year. Their production varies -from 200-525 gallons. This year they hung 1400 pails. Albert Bell is married to the former Mary Feighner and Gardner to the former Alberta Swift. Mrs. Bell also contributes much to the operation, with sugar candy her specially. Earl Wilson remembers when his father-in-law used to lug five gallon pails about a mile, from the shanty to the house. His wife’s (Lorna Garlinger) father started making syrup in 1937. Wilson moved the shanty up by the house three years ago, where he now uses natural gas to heat the boiler. He said it may cost as much as $1.50 to heat a gallon of syrup. He recalls when a gallon of syrup sold for 50 cents. This year he hung 900 buckets and expects to produce 250 gallons in a normal season. He has made as much as 450-475 gallons in a single season during his ten years in the business. Wilson is assisted by his wife, son, Bill; and three workers.

His sister and brother-in­ law, Larry and Diane Winegar, helped this year. Carl Thrun, two miles east of Vermontville Highway, has been running his own syrup operation for 31 years. His father originated the business, and now Thrun’s son, David, seems deeply in­ volved in preserving the family tradition. Thrun also employs four or five teenage gatherers during the heavy sap flow. Thrun’s wood fed boiler, produces between 200-300 gallons of syrup yearly. He has produced as much as 400 gallons. There are about 750 taps on the Thrun farm this year. Mrs. Thrun, the former Jane Figg, makes maple sugar for those with the sweet tooth. With the appropriate machine she could make her dream come true and add Maple Cream to her spring menu. Amos Haigh and family have their own taps, but also boil the sap for several of their neighbors. Bill and Judy Joppie, Dale Dodes and family, Jay Glandon and family, and Richard Garns and Titmus gather their own sap and deliver it to the Haigh shanty for processing. Between the five families they produce about 900 gallons of syrup a year. They had 2500 taps this season. Four generations of the Haigh family have been in the syrup business. They have been at their present location near Charlotte for 18 years. They sell syrup, cream, and candy from their showcase at the shanty.

The Haigh children, Sandy, who is a member of the 1976 queen’s court, and Scott help their father during the busy spring season. Haigh gathers sap both manually and by gravity. Mrs. Haigh is the former Joyce Smith. Leo Malcuit used to produce more syrup before he cleared out much of his woods. At one time he had 1600 taps, now he hangs about 700 pails. He used to make 600 gallons of syrup, now he averages about 300. He started the business in 1950. The manpower this year was supplied by Malcuit, his wife, the former, Mary King, and their son, Joel. The family use both the old and the new, as they boil with wood and gather by hose and motor. Malcuit’s brother and father were involved in the early years. The Mary-Way Farm of Nashville, owned by Wayne and Rodney Pennock, is one of the bigger private syrup operations. The Pennocks have 1200 taps in the same woods their family have been tapping since the 1880’s. It is a family affair, as it takes the entire family to get the job done. The Pennocks remove the syrup nearing completion from the boiler and put it in a finishing tank. There they can check the density of the syrup with more accuracy. Reinhart Zemke, the president of the association, has been tapping trees and boiling syrup for more then 30 years near Vermontville. He taps almost 700 trees and hangs about 1,025 buckets. He fires his boiler with wood and occasionally coal, as he likes to do it the nostalgic way. His wife, Polly, also is a prominent figure in the business. For the first time in many years, Walt Furlong did not -produce any syrup. His grand­ father, Henry Warner, started the operation. He hung 700 pails last year and made a little over 100 gallons. Most of the syrup is saved for family use. Furlong, his wife, Mabel, their four sons, and grandchildren all pitch in to get the job done. The Furlong’s produced 170 gallons three years ago at their farm north of Nashville. Mrs. Furlong drives the tractor while the rest of the family Passers by view the boiling-off process and get a whif of the sweet steam. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, April 21,1976 — Page 16 Brief Summary of New Michigan Land Use Act...H.B. 4234 The proposed Land Use Act will be controlled by a 9-member commission, political appointees of the Governor for the purpose of protecting and preserving agriculture, horticulture, forest lands, mineral lands, open space, recreational, natural habitat for wildlife scenic areas, wetlands, floodplains and shorelines to maintain ecological integrity and the use and enjoyment of these areas by present and future generations.

In 1943, the legislature passed legislation which permitted counties and townships to do land planning and zoning. House Bill 4234 will make it mandatory that every county submit a land use plan to the land use commission; however, it must be done ac­ cording to the commission’s guidelines or they will do it for you. The proponents call this local control. It would help if we knew what the guidelines and rules looked like before we passed the bill, however, this will not happen. I recognize the need for land use planning to assure proper and orderly growth and development within and throughout each county. House Bill 4234 would tend to negate this local effort by placing the ultimate and final control with nine political ap­ pointees in Lansing. Further, I point to the several and varied public acts, such as the Wild Rivers, the Shorelands Management Protection, and the Soil Erosion and Sedimentation public acts with rules and regulations thereto which presently govern and control land and resources through the “Where \ouSave Does Moke A Difference EATON FEDERAL SAVINGS & LOAN Pays The HIGHESTINTEREST HATES Allowable by Law .00% .25% Interest on a passbook account, with earnings from date of deposit to date of withdrawal, paid and com* pounded quarterly, resulting in an effective annual 5.35% 6 Interest on a four-year Certificate, $2,500.00 minimum is paid and compounded quarterly, resulting in an effective annual yield of. .00% Interest on a one-year Certificate, $1,000.00 minimum is paid and compounded quarterly, resulting in an effective annual yield of . . 6.14% JJ a four-yea -year Certificate, $5,000.00 minimum is impounded quarterly, resulting in an effective impounde annual yield of.........

House Bill 4234 will further duplicate and add to the en­ vironment of controls that can only confuse, embitter and burden the already over-taxed property owner. AnotherconcernI have with the Land Use Bill is that it gives the Land Use Commission full authority without legislative intervention and thus creating a bureaucratic control resulting in further erosion of local authority. The denial of local rights insures bureaucratic control; and the citizens, in my judgement, object to excessive land controls im­ posed upon them by government - especially controls that they have no local jurisdiction over. I feel that certain injustices to property owners “surface” when counties get “locked in” to State statutes whereby local citizens must take their problems and entrust their pleadings to nine total strangers appointed by the Governor many miles from home. If you believe you have been aggrieved by the designation of your property or any decision handed down by the commission, the only court you are privileged to go to in protecting the ownership of your land is the State Court of Appeals. However, that is a costly process and if you could not afford the expense your constitutional right would be abridged. Why should you be forced to defend your right of property ownership in court? It seems unbelievable that this legislature is about to consider legislation that could remove the property rights of every property owner in the undeveloped areas of our state as well as all the families that, perhaps, would like to live in rural Michigan in the future. Much credit for helping draft this bill must be given to the American Society of Planning officials at 1313 East 60th Street, Chicago, Ill., located on the University of Chicago campus*. This just happened to be the same address as that of the Artierican Public Welfare Association. There is a new concept of private ownership of land being developed as well as a new concept of public rights to private owned land. There are those in the Michigan Legislature that believe owners of property don’t really own but only rent by paying taxes. They maintain that all the people of Michigan own all of the land in Michigan. House Bill 4234,1 believe, is a dangerous bill. Be sure and patronize the many businesses who's support, has made this issue possible! Thank You!

April 19 to April 26 Last Hurdle - The House last week approved extending the fiscal year from June 30 to September 30. This could have a dramatic impact on public education in subsequent years. PBB Ban - In the aftermath of the PBB disaster, the House has approved HB 6145, which prohibits any detectable level of PBB in commercial feed. This gives the Agriculture Department statutory authority to test such feed for PBB. Land Use - The controversial HB 4234, which ,would commit the state to land-use planning, has failed to get enough votes to be reported out of committee to the full House. Supporters will try again at the end of the month. Lake Land Guide - A new booklet from the DNR, “Planning and Management Guidelines for Inland Lake Property Owners,” suggests the most beneficial methods for new building and lakeside development, and covers protection of water quality, acquatic life and shorelines. Write: Inland Lake Management Unit, 8th Floor, Mason Building, Lansing 48901. Historic Land - Governor Milliken has signed into law a measure which permits the state to acquire and maintain historic sites through a fund maintained by private donations. Previously, there was no mechanism for the state to preserve our heritage this way. Open Dumps Out - In spite of a 1965 law, open dumps exist illegally in 46 of Michigan’s 83 counties. The Natural Resources Commission has directed the DNR to take action to close dumps which don’t comply with regulations, or which are an environmental hazard. Tenant Rights - Before recessing for Easter, the House approved HB 4957,, which prohibits landlords from taking personal property, changing locks ocs without wou providing provdng keys, eys, introducing noises or shutting off utilities, unless a tenant has not paid the rent or if such actions were pursuant to a court order. There is a 1-year limit to sue for damages. Honor Guard - The Governor has delcared the period April 12May 15 to be “Operation Minuteman ’76” to honor, and encourage people to sign up in, the Michigan National Guard. Nationally, the Guard provides 16 percent of our armed forces for only 3 percent of the defense budget. Storm Damage - Although last month’s ice storms caused upwards of $1 million damage to Michigan Public Schools, there should be little trouble in paying for repairs the disaster declaration by President Ford releases federal funds for this purpose.

In greatest demand for cut flowers are hybrid tea roses and Michigan is a leader in rose production. Of the 22 major flower producing states, Michigan ranks eighth nationally in total rose production. Marketing officials of the Michigan Department of Agriculture say Michigan’s 34 commercial growers produced 565,000 rose plants in 1975 for nearly 11 million blooms, valued at $2.85 million. Macomb county is the rose production center of the state. The saying, a rose is a rose, just isn’t so. Michigan growers say top quality roses are determined by length of stem, foliage and bloom. Stem length is a primary factor in determining cost of roses at wholesale and retail levels. The red rose is an all-time favorite and the most popular red variety grown in Michigan is “Forever Yours.” Hybrid tea roses are grown primarily under controlled temperatures and atmosphere conditions in greenhouses. Pinching for blooms for Mother’s Day starts each year about mid-March. Roses are generally cut in early morning and handinspected for color, quality of stem, foliage and bloom. Many growers are using an automated machine which separates roses according to stem lengths. Flowers are hand-wrapped and refrigerated until ready for shipment. Michigan-grown roses are shipped to flower shops and nurseries throughout the state. Very few, if any, are shipped outof-state. Top quality roses are wrapped in florist paper, other grades in plastic, and tran­ sported in refrigerated trucks.

Barry-Eaton Health Department In an effort to increase in­ dividual and community protection against measles (Rubeola), which is sometimes called “hard”, “red”, or “oldfashioned” measles, your county health department, together with Michigan Department of Public Health, is continuing to sponsor special clinics in the schools to update immunizations for Barry County. A clinic will be held at the Lakewood High School and Woodland Jr. High on April 22. Another clinic will be held at the Delton-Kellogg High School and Middle School on April 27. The Hastings, ThornappleKellogg and Maple Valley School Systems have already had measles clinics conducted. A survey made in connection with measles vaccine, provided for years in this county, shows that a group of teens exists with low protection. The Health Department is interested in covering this group. The Health Department recommends that children who received measles vaccine prior to 1966, or received the vaccine with Gamma Globulin, or received the vaccine before 12 months of age should have the vaccine repeated. Any question regarding these clinics, contact the Barry-Eaton District Health Department, 945­ 9516. BOARDING DOGS & CATS: Carroll Wells, Ph. 726-0129. WANTED: Gardens to plow in Nashville.

Maple sap is flowing in the Nashville and Vermontville area. The people of Maple Valley have had maple syrup in their blood for more then a hundred years. This year, the people of Nashville started tapping the hard maple trees on Valentine’s Day. There were approximately 3,000 buckets hanging from over 1,500 Nashville trees. In 1942, the people of the village formed the Nashville Maple Syrup Association. In 1959, the association built a small white brick building on Philadelphia street to house its first boiler. The boiler is the central focal point during the four to six weeks when the sap is flowing. The trees are tapped and the sap is gathered through a cooperative effort by various local organizations. The groups receive a share of the profits according to the amount of work they contribute. The Little League Baseball and Football organizations and the Softball League all obtain a major portion of their budget through this work. The organizations also assist in the boiling process. Another benefactor of the sap collecting has been the village’s Putnam Park. Each year the association donates a substantial amount of its profits for im­ provements in the park. The association donated $2200 in 1972, and $1,000 in 1973. Sap is gathered every day. If the sap is allowed to set in the buckets, it will be quickly ruined by bacteria. Once the sap is collected, and put in the storage tanks, it’s only a matter of time before it is made into syrup. It takes 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of maple syrup.

The library has received several donations from area residents. Many paintings by Mae McKinnis decorate the walls, donated by Lynn and Mabel McKinnis. Mrs. McKinnis had been a Nashville teacher. Betty Kuhlman of Grand Rapids, has donated several antique furniture items and a painting entitled “Country Landscape,” done by Mrs. Putnam. A tiffany lamp was donated by the Gribben family. The Nash­ ville art group donated a metal rack for bodes. Castleton and Maple Grove Townships donated took cases, carpeting and wall paper. Many other items, in eluding books, were donated by various people. A shoe worn by Chief Askasaw was given to the library. The Indian was an area resident now buried in Barryville Cemetery in Barry County. The library also possesses the Civil War Diary of William Boston who was a Nashville Resident. It is dated from August 19, 1862, to July 4, 1865. “People are welcome to come to the library and look at the diary,” Mrs. Sheldon said, “but it’s too valuable to be cir­ culated.” A new room, called the “Local History in Michigan Room” is being planned. The room is sponsored by the Nashville Woman’s Literary Club. “The room will consist of books about Michigan, old Photographs and scrapbooks of local people and events, and old maps.” Mrs. Sheldon said. “It should be an education to people who want to learn about our local history.” Putnam Public Library has a contractural arrangement with Willard Library in Battle Creek. “We can draw on the Willard Library books and films, all of these items are available to us.” said Mrs. Sheldon. Putnam Library has a class III rating. The ratings depend upon the number of people served by the library. The library has almost 21,000 circulated items at the present time. The library also carries records and periodicals. They have National Geographies dating back to 1910. They also carry many Life, Time, and Newsweek magazines. “I like the small town library situation,” stated Mrs. Sheldon, “Because we are able to take more interest in each person. We especially like to help the young people who are interested in learning.” All items are borrowed from Putnam Library for two week periods. Only one cent a day is charged for overdue bodes. The library is open 30 hours a week. They are open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 2 p.m. - 9 p.m., Tuesdays 10 a.m. noon, and Saturdays 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. There is something for everyone at Putnam Library.

One of the “Social Sojourns” in the local barber shop back in 19740 brought out the need for some kind of community celebration. After many words and ideas had been juggled about, the suggestion of a Maple Syrup Festival came up. The Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival was started by Milton Lamb, then one of the younger merchants. The idea seemed a good one and a meeting was called, from which the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Corporation was formed. The corporation is made up of a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and trustees. In June, following the Festival, which is always held in April, the annual meeting is held, at which time officers are elected and the date for the next festival is set. “Hospitality” is the main idea; pancakes and real maple syrup await all; the producers have their products on sale all day. on Main Street, and dancing Crowning of the Maple Syrup complete the day’s activities, Queen, parades and en- which draw throusands of tertainment from a stage erected visitors each year.

Chief Sitting Bull (Andy Burd), a Sioux Indian, helps Annie trap Frank and saves the day for Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bill (Randy Furlong), owner of a rival wild west show.

Approval of these two millage proposals would enable the school district to continue to offer a quality educational program and still maintain a general fund equity eliminating the need to borrow funds and incur an ad­ ditional interest expense. The school district has been able to expand the educational program in past years while being able to operate within ,the funds available without having to borrow any funds for general school operation. The total of fourteen mills extra voted plus the 8.3 mills allocated provides a total of 22.3 mills for operational purposes which is one of the lower total millages in the State of Michigan. The additional millage is necessary to meet the increase in general operational costs in­ cluding the general increase in educational materials and supply expenditures. Increased costs have also been experienced through and expanded com­ munity education program. School personnel and members of the Board of Education are available to meet with any group and explain present school operation and the two millage proposals. Please call 852-9699 if you desire to schedule a meeting or have any questions relative to the present state aid act or general school operation.

Sunday I found time to visit the Arts and Crafts demonstrations and exhibits at the Maplewood School. They were fabulous and if you missed it it was a shame.

It isn’t necessary that a person be a taxpayer to be eligible to vote upon the millage proposals. A person must be registered with the appropriate township or city clerk in order to be eligible to vote at the annual school election. The deadline for registration is Monday, May 17,1976 at 5:00 p.m. to be eligible to vote at the June election. Incumbent Charles Viele and James Erwin have taken out petitions as candidates for the position on the board of education. Nominating petitions may be obtained at the school administration office. The deadline for filing nominating petitions is Monday, May 17,1976, at 4 p.m. One millage proposal will be for the renewal of the fourteen mills for operational purposes which expired with the 1975 levy. The other ballot will be for an additional two mills to help cover the increasing costs as related to the total instructional program and school operation. Under the present state aid act which is based upon a state-local equalization of millage, every school district would receive a fixed amount of dollars per mill up to a miximum of twenty-seven mills. This current school year the Maple Valley School District has a total of 22.3 mills (including the allocated millage) to cover the operational costs. Renewal of the fourteen mills and approval of the additional two mills would enable the school district to more fully participate in the state aid act while being able to provide a quality educational program. Two mills represents $2.00 on each $1,000.00 of state equalized valuation. The additional two mills would result in income in the amount of approximately $153,841 based upon the current state aid for­ mula. Under the current state aid act the state’s share would be $104,458 (67.9 percent) and the local share would be $49,383 (32.1 4th Graders make Map percent) enabling the school Two fourth grade classes at Fuller Street School made a map of the United States and district to continue offering the mounted it on the gymnasium wall this spring. present instructional program as Starting in the fall, each student studied the history of a state and reported on it. well as the extra curricular Sherry Roe and Kathy Deeg are the teachers.

Controlling house flies and ants a must- EAST LANSING, Mich. - One of the more aggravating events around the house is emerging flies and ants; but they can be controlled with proper care. “The first seen are usually the cluster flies, large bumbling insects which are more of a nuisance than a disease carrier,” says James Liebherr, Michigan State University Extension insect specialist. Cluster flies are usually out­ door insects, which overwinter in household walls, attics and outbuildings. They are the first to emerge in spring. They appear in the home generally because they can’t get out through the exterior walls. “They spend the warm months outside, seeking shelter in late fall, and are most common in rural areas,” Liebherr says.

Frankfort - East Shore Charter Service reports good fishing both on Lake Michigan and off the pier. Good catches of lake trout, in the 5-14 lb. range, are being made in 20-30 ft. of water. Best catches - a 21 lb. lake trout and a 10 lb. chinook. Northport - Capt. Red Oosterbaan of Lake Trout Charter Service reports limit catches of lake trout on Grand Traverse Bay. Red’s boat, “Lucky Strike,” pulled in 11 trout in one hour. Best lures are blue, silver, and chartreuse fireplugs at 130-140 ft. depths.

If the flies have access to man’s food, they contaminate it by walking over or regurgitating on it (this appears as fly specks). Flies spread a variety of diseases including typhoid, dysentery and diarrhea. Flies within the home can be controlled with aerosols con­ taining pyrethrins or malathion. To kill flies in a room, release a mist from an aerosol bomb or power sprayer and keep the room closed for an hour. Be careful not to contaminate food. Pest strips are best suited for attics or areas not frequented by children, elderly persons, or pets. “As much as possible, use a fly swatter for spot control,” Liebherr advises. Surface sprays leave a residue that may be effective for several weeks. Malathion and ronnel may be used when sprayed around windows and areas frequented by flies. Moisten the surface without causing runoff. Do not use in food areas. Sanitation is still the best fly control method. Keep garbage and other refuse under cover.

Candidate filing date is Tuesday June 1Secretary of State Richard H.

Today the store is stocked to the brim with a wide range of products. “When I started in the business, the store was so empty you could hear your voice echo.” smiled Mrs. Wolfe. “Where’ I used to buy one or two of a par­ ticular item, I now order about ten cases.” In the beginning, she worked the store with her son, who helped part-time through the high school co-op program. In 1972, she hired Gaylord Gray who had worked for Kiehl Hardware in Nashville for over 20 years. Ironically, Gray hired Mrs. Wolfe for the job that introduced her to the hardware business. “Gale Kiehl told me that if I knew of a good office girl, I could hire her.” recalled Gray. “I knew Merna had previous office ex­ perience and was a good worker, so I hired her for him.” Mrs. Wolfe has self taught herself everything she knows about the hardware business. She runs the pipethreader, sets up plumbing jobs, cuts keys and handles most problems her customers may have. (Maple Valley News Photo) During her five years at Kiehl Hardware, she not only handled the office chores, but learned all aspects of the business through her own initiative. “She wanted to learn all she could about the store,” said Gray, “so she watched, listened, and just started doing other work. Now she can cut and thread pipe, set up plumbing jobs, and do most anything that has to be done in a hardware store.” “It was really a challenge when she bought the store.” Gray added. “People were saying a woman couldn’t make it in the hardware business. Well, I guess she proved ’em wrong.” “She deserves all the success she can get, with all the hours and hard work she puts into that store.” Vermontville had been without a hardware store for over a year before Mrs. Wolfe opened for business. “The people of Vermontville had made it known that they wanted a hardware store about the same time that Mr. Kiehl sold his business,” Mrs. Wolfe said. “So I decided to open the'store and give it a try. While atKiehl’s I knew that the hardware business was what I liked.” “To own a small business you’ve got to like people and please the customer. You also have to like what you’re doing because it takes a lot of hard work and long hours fo-make it go.” “We can give the customers' personal service that a big store or discount house can’t give them,” Mrs. Wolfe added, “and are always fair to the people we deal with.” “I’ll open the store at anytime for emergency situations.” said Gray. “I Tiave never turned a customer down yet That’s what we’re here for.” . Vermontville Hardware is much like an old fashioned general store, with a lot of everything. They carry paint and paint supplies, plumbing sup­ plies, gift and housewares, electrical supplies, home and garden supplies, tools, mowers and tillers, lamps, wheelbarrows, fishing gear, boots and much more. Mrs. Wolfe has two daughters, Mrs. Steven (Pamela) Strickland of Hastings, and Mrs. Carl Vermontville was without a hardware store until May 1971 when Merna Wolfe bought the present Vermontville Hardware Store. (Maple Valley News Photo) (Linda) Soules Jr. of Hersher, Illinois. She has two grandsons. She is the wife of the late Donald Wolfe, and the mother of the late Jack and Carey Wolfe. “There are a lot of good pepple in this community, and they have always . stuck right by me.” said Mrs. Wolfe. “The people of Vermontville have been good to us, I can’t say enough for these fine people.” \ Mrs. Wolfe hired Gaylord Gray in 1972, and he is important to the function of the businesss. Here he threads a pipe. (Maple Valley News Photo) Merna Wolfe never fails to greet her customers with a friendly smile.

Nashville VFW8260 & Auxiliary Personalized plates may be ordered now for 77If you want your car ZAPPED, ZONKED, or BONKED for 1977, now is the time to do it. According to Michigan , Secretary of State Richard Austin, applications for 1977 Personalized license plates are _ now being accepted. The personalized license plates cost $25 above the normal license plate fee with the funds being used to help clean Michgan’s highways, Austin said. For the first time this year, personalized license plates may be obtained for use on pick-up trucks and motorcycles. Because of the smaller size of the motorcycle license plates they will be limited to five letters or number combinations. Automobiles and pick-up trucks still may use any six letter or number combination as the of­ ficial Michigan license plate, excluding of course, obscene or objectionable combinations. Last year more than 15,000 motorists obtained personalized license plates for their cars, Austin said, more than triple the previous year’s high. Deadline to order for 1977 is June 30, 1976. The personalized license plates will be mailed to owners about November 15, the date Ayhen all license tags go on sale. Applications may be obtained at any Secretary of State field office.

What’s more, they are earning one semester hour of college credit. Attending from Nashville, is Mary Rose Frith, 310 Middle Street. She attends Maple Valley High School. Students were selected for Operation Bentley through interviews by Olivet College of­ ficials at public, private and parochiall high schools throughout the state. On the TUw Olivet campus, they started with simulated party caucuses, then elected city, township and county officers. Then they held mock government meetings. Operation Bentley is sponsored by the Alvin M. Bentley Foun­ dation of Owosso. Since the program first began in 1963, more then 800 high school students have gained an in-depth look at how local and state government works. Olivet College Prof. Robert C.

Michigan State University horticulturists suggest the following timely lawn and garden activities: . • --Mow your lawn as frequently as needed to avoid cutting off more than 40 percent of the leaf surface at any one mowing. -Late in June, fertilize asparagus. All month, keep an. eye peeled for asparagus beetles feeding on the fems and laying eggs on the spears. Control them with malathion, Sevin or Methoxychlor to prevent defoliation. -Spring flowering bulbs that did poorly this year may need thinning and transplanting. Dig them up after the bulb coats turn brown and store then in a cool, dry place until fall. Then replant at proper depth and spacing. -Houseplants and other plants grown outdoors in containers dry out quickly. Check them frequently and water when the soil is dry. Hanging baskets dry most rapidly - check them at least once a day. ♦■Pinch mums to make the plants send out side shoots. Remove the top half inch of each shoot when it is six inches long. -Plant gladioli- through June for a continuous supply of cut flowers. -Set potted azaleas into a shaded spot in the garden. -Prune and fertilize rambler roses after they have flowered. -Prune spring flowering shrubs - such as forsythia, lilac, flowering quince and mock orange - after they are finished blooming. -Plant dahlias, callas, begonias and caladiums. Mulch dahlias after the plants are well established. -Pick strawberries as they ripen. Pick in the morning when the berries are cool. Remove overripe or damaged berries from the patch to minimize fruit rot and attraction of sap beetles. If birds are a problem, cover the patch with bird netting on a wood frame. To maintain top quality refrigerate berries as soon as possible after harvest -Apply a second light ap­ plication of nitrogen to lawns. -Spray to control the bronze birch borer. Keep birches healthy and vigorously growing by watering and fertilizing. Healthy trees are less susceptible to in­ sect attack then weak ones. -Water lawns once a week, as necessary, so the soil is wet to a depth of five or more inches. —Check newly transplanted trees to be sure that all rope or wire is removed from the trunks. If left on a growing tree, a rope or wire becomes a noose that girdles it. Also check guy wires on young trees and adjust or remove them as needed. -Leafhoppers and plant bugs may infest honey locust trees in June or July. Use malathion or Sevin according to label directions to control the pests. -Check your vegetable garden frequently for aphids, mites, caterpillars, beetles and other distinctive insects so you can apply controls before the pest population gets out of hand. -If tomato blossom end rot was a problem last year, try to water regularly to avoid extreme fluctuations in soil moisture level. -Take poinsetta cuttings for blooming plants by Christmas. -Remove faded flowers - not the foliage from spring flowering bulbs. The leaves must be left to build up the bulb for next year’s growth. -Plant brussel sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese Cabbage, kale and en­ dive for a fall vegetable crop. . -Water newly transplanted trees and shrubs and other or­ namentals as needed. -Trim hedges after they have grown six inches, cutting back half of the new growth. --Examine ornamentals in early June for scale insects on foliage and wood. Spray infested plants with malathion while the insects are in the crawling stage. -Spray hollyhocks and delphiniums with fungicide to prevent rust and mildew. -Propagate shrubs by rooting softwood cuttings taken this month and early in July. -Plant potted roses in bud or ip bloom. -Remove old flowers from perennials that have finished blooming. -Plant petunias, portulaca, impatiens and other annual bedding plants in prepared beds. -Weed, mulch and water the vegetable garden as necessary. -Be on the lookout for slug damage to vegetables and flowers. Rich, damp soil and. The Nashville Bluebirds worked hard planting petunias in Central Park Thursday afternoon. (Maple Valley News Photo) mulches encourage slug buildup. In flower gardens, use Measurol slug bait; in vegetables, use Metaldehyde bait for control. -White grub control in lawns using chlordane or diazinon will eliminate the grubs as lawn pests and food for moles.

The Historical Meeting Thursday evening turned out to be one of our most outstanding in several ways, attendance of nearly one hundred to enjoy the delicious potluck, and the program by Miss Rose Dills of Saginaw, a retired teacher, college professor and world traveler. As persons entered the dining room they saw tables with bells and groups of bells on styrofoam bases (decorated with red, white and blue ribbon) of highly polished brass and copper, also many colored glass or crystal, and some ofwood such as teakwood and mahogany. One interesting bell was the nose cone of a helicopter and plated with brass. Miss Dills said the largest bells are in Russia, one weighing 200 tons. While making this a piece broke out which weighed eleven ton, and is used for a chapel that seats fifty people. - Miss Dills belongs to the American Bell Association and has collected over 500 which she displays on shelves in her home in Saginaw. She brought about one half of these to our meeting. I understand it took her with helpers three hours to arrange them on the tables. Mr. and Mrs. B. Botje of Saginaw (cousins of Margreta and Martha Zemke) brought Miss Dills down for this meeting and they spent the night at the Zemke’s.: The oldest bell Miss Dills had was about 150 years old and came from a Buddist temple in India. The parents give the priest a bell when a son is bora. The next meeting of the Historical Society" will be July 15 when we meet in Charlotte with the Eaton County Society.

Voters in the Nashville area will be voting at t the Kellogg gg gymnasium, gy, and voters in the Vermontville area will be voting in the kindergarten room at tthe Maplewood Elementary School. The polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m., Monday, June 14. Absentee ballots may be obtained by contacting Jerry Brumm, Secretary of the Bdard of Education, or by calling the school administration office. Incumbent Charles Viele is a candidate for election to the board of education along with James Erwin. This is a four year term beginning July 1, 1976 through June 30, 1980. During the present school year, the Board of Education has operated the school district with 8.3 mills allocated from the county along with the fourteen mills (14) extra voted. This total amount of 22.3 for operational purposes is one of the lower amounts in this area as well as in the State of Michigan. Approval of both millage proposals would enable the school district to more fully participate in the present state aid act which is based upon a state-local concept. A school district may receive full state aid up to a maximum of twenty­ seven (27) mills this current school year. Both millage proposals are for a period of three years. The one proposal is for the renewal of the fourteen mills (14) which expired with the December 1975 levy. The additional {wo (2) mills on the other proposal would provide additional funds enabling the school district to continue of- fering the same basic education program and related activities program. It is the desire of the board of education to be able to continue to employ a teaching staff comparable in size to this current school year and not have to increase the student-teacher ratio which could possibly result in some areas, in the event there aren’t increased funds available next year through state or local sources. How much would a two (2) mill increase cost you? Property Cost per Cost for Value month 1976 $5,000 $10.00 $ .83 $10,000 $20.00 $1.67 $15,000 $30.00 $2.50 $20,000 $40.00 $3.33 $25,000 $50.00 : $4.i6 In general schoolsare facing the same financial problems as all of society, that being inflation. General costs for total school p A fO w| «seuGe 4r9'a055tl8ng s Ml' 49058 operation have increased through much higher utility costs, bodes, instructional supplies, equipment including additional school buses, and general costs related to maintenance and operational supplies. The staff has increased in the past two years with the addition of an additional section in both the seventh and eighth grades to help eliminate the large class sizes, an additional teacher in the band-vocal music depart­ ment, and a school nurse. The board of education was able to construct and equip a four room addition to the Jr.-Sr. high school this school year without any additional debt retirement millage to cover the cost of this program. The construction program was covered through funds available in the old building and site account The school district continues to participate in Section 27 of the state aid act which is available to k? f«AWnos . J those scnoui ^tricts levying less than 26 mills for operational purposes. This current school year, the State of Michigan pays $52,008 of the total cost of $75,311 for the payment of debt retirement principal and in­ terest Under current state aid guidelines, the school district would still be eligible for full participation in the Section 27 program through approval of the two millage proposals. The debt retirement millage this school year was .71 mills compared with 3.65 mills in 1973. Under the current state aid act for general operational costs, the state’s share of the cost is 67.9 percent, and the local share of the cost is 32.1 percent of the total amount based upon the equal yield concept. This amount could easily vary some depending upon the state aid program that is approved by the legislature for the 1976-77 school year. Congratulations *76 M.V. graduates— Thousands of people filled the high school gymnasium Sunday afternoon to witness the Maple Valley class of 1976 com­ mencement ceremonies, as 123 seniors received their high school diplomas.

Campbell, Deputy Treasurer r >n County, Michigan, hereby certify that, as of April 30,1976, the records of this Offi. dicate that the total of all voted increases over and above the tax limitation established the Constitution o' Michigan, in any local units of government affecting the taxable property located i ’ Maple Valley Schools, Eaton and Barry Counties, Michigan, is as follows: By Eaton County: By Vermontville Township: By Carmel Township: By Chester Township: None 1.5M None None By Kalamo T By Sunfield 1 By the School ship: Ip: t None .75M None Helen M. Cambpell Deputy Treasurer, Eaton County, Michigan DETROIT AID - Both houses last week agreed to let Detroit impose a garbage tax on its citizens, but they had difficulty agreeing on a bill giving additional financial aid to the city. Argument cen­ tered on inclusion of a Pontiac Stadium subsidy. POLITICAL REFORM Our Supreme Court has not outlines just what would be un­ constitutional in the attempted reform of Michigan political activity. Ruled out are campaign spending limits and broad financial disclosure requirements. TAX TASK FORCE The Governor has now appointed a task force to consider possible, revisions in the Single Business Tax. Send specific proposals or examples of tax inequity to me at the State Capitol, Lansing 48909. LOTTERY EXTENSION - The House recently OK’d HB 6272, which would give the Michigan lottery a new lease on life until July 1,1980. Our lottery has been the nation’s most successful, with 1976-77 revenues estimated at $95 million. FUNDS FLOWING AGAIN - Now that both houses have enacted supplemental appropriations for Social Services, some programs which had run out of money are back in business. Revived programs include adult home help, ambulance services, nursing homes, and hospital care. PBB RECOMMENDATIONS The Governor’s Scientific Ad­ visory Panel has recommended lowering the guidelines for ac­ ceptable levels of PBB in Michigan foodstuffs down to the minimum detectable level. This may require legislative action. However, the panel emphasized that no significant acute effects of PBB have yet been documented in man. ORV REGISTRATION - You can now register your off-road vehicle at any Secretary of State field office. Current registration costs $9 for three years. Specifically excluded from the definition of ORV’s are snowmobiles, farm vehicles and road motorcycles. TAX EXEMPTION Under current law, a homeowner who fixes up his house may find his tax assessment has increased; this tends to discourage repairs. The House has now approved HB 6139, which would exclude for assessment purposes normal repairs and maintenance such as outside painting, landscaping, new siding, plumbing, rewiring, and outdoor lights. DEBTORS’ RIGHTS - A state official recently pointed out that a collection agency cannot lie to a debtor, make anonymous or collect .calls to a debtor, collect more than the legal debt, or employ unlicensed people to collect claims. A collection agency must be licensed.

Why, the Student Council, of course! Just recently, the elections for new officers were held. These people will be representing the students next year: President - Dan Cook, Vice President Tim Burd, Secretary Pam Brown, and Treasurer Kathy Garvey. They will be doing the many jobs which take time and lots of hard work, but which are very important tasks. Some of these jobs consists of: organizaing all homecoming activities, setting up the assemblies, and trying to get new things for the school. This year we had a very successful homecoming and we added a juke box to our lunch room. The new officers have many plans already made for the 76-77 school year and they’re just waiting to spring them on you!

If you make a bad shot, it’s your own fault so it helps to practice on your own. This season the team has 14 matches. FINAL EXAMS by Randy Furlong Were your junior and senior high students acting abnormally quiet the last few days? Spending a large amount of time with their noses in a book? And not doing a lot of playing around? If any of these symptoms applied to your student in the past few days, consider the cause of the illness — EXAMS. Last week Friday and this week Monday and also Tuesday morning, all the MV students, grades seven through twelve, took their exams. Exam time could be considered a sacred time at MV. All students seem to dred the thought of exams but exams serve a dual purpose. The first and usually most known reason is to see just how much knowledge a student has comprehended and retained over the year, but there is a second and hidden reason that many students don’t know. This other reason is to prove to a teacher how great a job he or she has done to prepare a student for life outside the protective halls of the high school. BAND DIRECTOR ILL by Any Lukasewycz Mr. Craig Bartholomew, director of the Sr. High and 5th & 6th grade bands has missed thb closing days of school because a very bad cold. The High School because of a very bad cold. The High School band with director Mr. Bartholomew, have performed at all the home football and basketball games, pep assemblies, performed 3 concerts and marched in three parades. The 5th and 6th graders had one personal appearance, which in Mr. Bartholomew’s words was super. The high school's bands last two appearances of the year (Memorial Day Parade and Graduation) were directed by Jr. High director Mr. Steven Hale.

The Redskins jumped on Lion ace GEORGE OWEN for a 4-0 lead after four innings, and with the help of a couple of ‘lucky’ plays it stayed that way till the bottom of the seventh: with 2 out and MARK BENTON on first, ART STEWART doubled to put a run on the board for MV.

But the high number of these crimes suggests a lot of people have forgotten exactly how serious they are. Take checks, for example. A person who writes a check for $50 or more and knows that his or her account account cannot cover it, has committed a felony. It is punishable by up to a year in the county jail or a $500 fine.

GIRLS MAPLE VALLEY ABOUT LEARN GOVERNMENT by Vicki Bennett Making up and running a government is a difficult task. Many people jsit back and criticize our government and politicians, even the President. But Rose Frith can tell you different. Among 100 students selected <■ represent schools in different areas, Rose was chosen to represent MV. She was taken to Olivet College for two weeks to learn the problems and procedures that go into setting up a government. Many students were confused at first with some procedures but in the end everyone could understand what the. procedure was about. Sponsored by the Alvin Bently foundation in honor of this deceased Michigan US Representative, the concept of teaching youths to be responsible active citizens is operated in this way. The program at Olivet College was taught to these students so Auto Service Center Mobil that they could have some idea on t the organization of committees, elections, trails, etc. Hopefully, this would help have a better understanding in classes later and also could be explained in every day speech to others in helping them understand. Setting up state and local governments, running campaigns and elections, sentencing trials and so on were yital parts introduced in the program. The group also toured the State Capital, and ran the voting machines on the floor of the House of Representatives. During their stay, the dorms at the college were their homes. This also gave the students a taste of college living. All in all, Rose had a winderful stay. She learned a great deal, and announced it was a learning experience every student should go through. “I wish next year that more Juniors will be able to go,” Rose replied, and as the two weeks ended, she was going home, (not by choice for she didn’t want to leave) and arrived in MV halls the next day to repeat her “working” vacation to all.

Gilmer, Republican candidate for State Representative of the 55th District, and Gary Holman, unopposed candidate for the Republican Barry County Prosecuting Attorney in the August 3 primary election, were special guests at the Nashville Chamber of Commerce meeting last Wednesday night. Gilmer, 30, a farmerbusinessman, owns Hillcrest Orchards in Augusta in partnership with his father and brother. In the 1974 primary election, Gilmer was defeated by incumbent Wayne Sackett by less than 30 votes. Gilmer feels that people like to see more of their politicians and know what they’re accomplishing following the Watergate incident. Gilmer said the state representative office can be handled more aggressively and be more active in the district communities. He added that the office must be an effective advocate of the communities and speak in behalf of the people. The candidate said he will seek out and communicate more with the people of the district, which is the only way to know the problems in the area. He added that he likes working in small communities, as they are what he is most accustomed to. Gilmer said there has been little meaningul legislation to ease the burden of the taxpayer during the past two years. “We need representation that has the energy to seek our views and act on them, representation that informs you of what is going on in Lansing, in short, representation that informs you of what is going on in Lansing, in short, representation that Michigan Farm Bureau,. represents,’’ he said.

Sollengarger, chairman of the American Trucking Associations (ATA) warned today. A nationwide survey of more than 900 trucking firms, Sollenbarger said, indicates vital small town freight service now required by the Interstate Commerce Commission would be dropped as unprofitable or marginal if that service is no longer mandated. “I also expect shipping costs in these areas to skyrocket under deregulation,’,’ he said. “The total effect annually would be to add millions of dollars to the costs of goods and services in small towns.” The ICC currently requires, as part of its licensing procedures, that interstate trucking firms maintain freight service to small or isolated communities on their routes. This is important to areas where rail or water transportation has been discontinued or is unavailable. "Better than three out of five carriers, if deregulated, would drop small town truck service as unprofitable, according to our poll,” Sollenbarger said. The Ford administration proposed to Congress last fall a general phasing out of ICC control over the $23 billion-a-year interstate trucking industry, and in May unveiled another deregulation plan. Legislation incorporating the proposals has Continued on page 10 and Eleanor (Yinger) Walton, who was a member of the class in the 3rd and 4th grades, when her father was the minister of the Methodist church in Nashville.

Ten mills will be used in the General Fund, five mills for street repair, and two mills for the sewer debt. The council also voted for a $16,718 street paving project to be done this summer. The streets to be paved are Lenz St., from Sherman St to Washington St.; Francis St. east from M-66 900 feet east; Francis St west from M-66 to Durky St.; Reed St., from Main St. to Cleveland St (wedge only); and Center, Court and Chapel Streets. Police Chief, Kendall Wilcox, told the council that the police cruiser was recently inspected, and it was discovered that the transmission oil was scorched. The mechanic said it was caused since the transmission is factory stock and not a heavy duty police package as the village had ordered. Village officials will meet with a Ford representative on June 16 to see if the Ford Motor Company did not meet specifications that were ordered, and decide what will be done to correct it. Lois Elston was appointed deputy village clerk by the council. She will perform the duties of clerk on occasions that village clerk Susan Corkwell should be unavailable. The council voted to have the village “Green Thumb” application sent to Putnam Public Library, as it feels a “Green Thumb” employee is no longer needed t the village office.

It offers professional training in 26 topics from A (ailing horse first aid) to Z (zeroing in on the winner’s circle). Others include management, breaking and training, horse nutrition, hunting and jumping, breeding, investing in a horse, veterinary problems, and stable management. “Open to beginning and experienced horsemen, enrollees have ranged from 12 to 70 years old and come from all walks of life. Students can attend lectures, watch demonstrations, and practice what they have' learned,” Dunn says. Larry Kasten is one of five professional persons comprising the basic Horses A to Z team. He teaches classes in horse genetics, correcting vices and bad habits, bits and bitting, and the use and misuse of tack. Kasten is in charge of the extension horse science program at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls, and is a recognized authority on showing and training performance horses.

Congress debated the resolutions on Saturday, then adopted the following on Monday, June 10: “Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and ofright ought to be, free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown; and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britian is and ought to be totally dissolved.” Then followed the appointment of committees to prepare a Declaration, a plan for a confederation and treaties with foreign nations.

Livingston of New York. Reconciliationists were able to postpone final consideration of the Declaration for three weeks, but all signs pointed to the inevitability of a final break. News that Britain had hired 20,000 German mercenaries to subdue Americans only added fuel to the fire. New Hampshire, New Jersey, Virginia and South Carolina all broke the tie by adopting constitutions that did not acknowledge British authority. A Tory plot in New York to assassinate General Washington and his officers did little to aid the British cause, especially when Governor Tryon and the Tory mayor of New York were implicated in the plot. Public sentiment, as well as it could be tested, strongly favored a break. Massachusetts, towns voted heavily in favor, while four battalions of soldiers in Philadelphia, comprising about 2,000 officers and men, registered only four officers and twenty-five men opposed to independence. n one one coones a had a one by one,,their colonies that And not instru ycted delegates to snuoppnosrtruicndeepenederncee ecghaaensgedo Continued page 8 USHERS IMF SIH SEWER • • • • TIMEX WATCHES ELECTRIC RAZORS TRAVEL KITS KODAK CAMERAS & FILM • • • • LITRONIX CALCULATORS PAPERMATE PEN SETS PIPES & ACCESSORIES AND MUCH MORE- REGULAR $11.00 Kod AMITY BILLFOLDS ^-7.98 DAD-Come in and pick up your FREE PEN for Father’s Day! ® Simon Pharmacy | JOHN SIMON, R.

Nash BUDGET BALK - Ignoring his own timetable, the Democrat House Speaker has said that budget bills for schools, mental health and social services may not be passed until fall. And then, the spending levels may exceed revenue estimates. PACKAGE PLAN - The House and Senate have finally agreed on a bill to give some $28 million to the city of Detroit and to continue the $800,000 state subsidy for the Pontiac stadium. It passed the House with no votes to spare. REPAIR COMPLAINTS - The new auto repair law is still in limbo, but in the meantime you can again call for state help in settling repair disputes. In Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties call 357-5108; elsewhere, 1-800-292-4204, toll free. CAMPAIGN FUNDING - Back before the House is a bill to provide public funding of campaigns for governor (HB 6350). It is almost the same as a provision contained in the political-activity law passed last year which was ruled unconstitutional because it contained too many subjects in one measure. GROCERY PRICING + The Governor now has on his desk SB 1155, which requires grocery stores to put individual prices on most items. The bill is viewed by many as another case of featherbedding supported by labor leaders. OPEN MEETINGS - A bill which has generated some controversy is now before the House. SB 920 adds enforcement provisions to current requirements that public bodies hold their meetings in open session and give prior notice; it also lists exceptions to open-meeting requirements. Some say it’s too strong; others say it doesn’t go far enough. UP IN THE AIR - A relatively new and very popular event will begin this week in north-western lower Michigan: The National Soaring and Hang Gliding 4 Festival will be held June 19 through 27 in Frankfort That’s certainly putting hot air to good use! ORV CONSENT - Two bills now before the House would further restrict the range of off-road vehicles and snowmobiles. Under HB 6219 and 6221, a driver of such vehicles would have to have a property owner’s written consent before he could drive on that property. NEW LOTTERY? - A specialpurpose lottery will soon be voted on by the House. HB 6231 would establish a bicentennial lottery for 1976, to raise $10 million for the construction of a state library and museum complex in Lansing. Area senior citizens guests at bicentennial dinner Senior Citizens of Belle me and Nashville were guests at Maple Leaf Grange Sunday, June 13th for dinner. The tables were set for 120. Mr. and Mrs. Cedi Dye were given corsages for being married the longest, and Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Mason were given sorsages for being married the most recently. Sylvester VanHorn received a bouquet of roses for being the oldest person present Gifts were given to many with lucky numbers. Gayle Ainslie, Master of the Maple Leaf Grange, was M.C. The program opened with community singing. Josephine Mapes gave a dever reading. Bellevue Methodist Church choir sang several numbers. Jeff Weiler of Vermontville gave three readings, one in German, then in English, “A Horse Race,” and “I Had But Fifty Cents”. Guy Allwardt read some original poems, and the “All American Band” dosed the program with several selections which all enjoyed. �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, June16,1976 — Page 3 Armyworms may be marching on Michigan crops— Michigan ^-small grain croplands could be in for another s g of the armyworm, siege yw , w which last year caused thousands of dollars damage. Michigan State University Entomologist Robert Ruppei says the pest has already been detected in “abundant numbers” in Allegan and Van Buren counties. Last year, during the worst attack in the state’s history, the armyworm ranged from Cass to Schoolcraft counties and clear across the state. “I’m not predicting a repeat of last year, but I am a little gunshy. That onslaught caught a lot of growers offguard, and the key to adequate control is early detection,” Dr. Ruppei says.

A unique educational publication describing how prescription prices are computed and listing important pharmacy services has just been released by the state professional society of pharmacists. “We have focused on the patient’s right to know,” Stated Louis Sesti, Executive Director of the Michigan Pharmaceutical Association. “We want the public to know what they’re paying for, how that charge was computed and the true value of the services pharmacists offer.” The new publication, entitled “Your Pharmacy Bill of Rights,” informs the public about im­ portant factors to consider in selecting a pharmacy, including reasonable charges and a con­ venient location. “Pharmacists and pharmacy services are an integral part of today’s health care system. Many of the most important functions of the pharmacists are what you can’t see because they are based on special education and knowledge, as explained in the publication,” stated Mr. Sesti. The special paper also ad­ dresses such issues as how much the cost of a prescription drug rose in the past eight years, how the average prescription dollar is spent and what the requirements are to become a professional licensed Michigan pharmacist.

It was a rewarding evening, as many of our boys have been working so diligently these past months, that we had to show them recognition by giving them awards.

The highest award a Cub Scout can earn is the Arrow of Light, which is earned when you are in Webelos.

Late in June, General Sir Henry Clinton and Admiral Sir Peter Parker, having abandoned North Carolina after the defeat of Scottish Loyalists at Moore’s Creek Bridge in February, attempted without success to take Charleston, South"Carolina. In this contest, Clinton’s army was practically useless, Parker’s fleet was badly mauled by American batteries, and Admiral Parker was chagrined by having part of his pants shot off and was wounded in the hip and knee. The Charleston defeat brought the following account from an English correspondent: “My wife is quite an American, and every conquest the Americans make, every battle they win, and every one of our ships they take, she says Providence is on their side, and it is only fighting against the wind to continue the contest. I am on the opposite side, and we have many interesting broils, or civil wars about it.” His wife taunted him on every occasion, and even contrived situations that antagonized him, so that *he referred to her as “my enemy.” After one such contrivance, he declared in disgust, “I well knew the design of this burlesque, so I threw down my pipe with a vengeance, and secured a retreat, being fully sensible I could not, like the brave Sir Peter Parker, silence her battery.” Thus the British-American conflict not only fostered American liberation, but also demonstrated the need for men’s liberation.

But truck deregulation has drawn considerable fire from smaller towns which fear they would lose necessary truck freight service. Last December the National League of Cities adopted a resolution opposing the deregulation plan “since it poses a threat to continuance of service to small communities.” According to Sollenbarger, there is good reason for small towns to be concerned because the ATA poll indicates every state except Hawaii would lose service to some communities. “Hardest hit,” he said, “would be towns of 5,000 or less people.” Four-fifths of the firms responding to the poll also say they believe broad-scale deregulation of the trucking industry would very likely result in temporary rate wars, the failure or bankruptcy of many small truck firms and eventual decrease in transportation services, especially to small communities. Just under half of those polled predict acquisition on of small truck firms by large ones would very likely happen as a result of deregulation, and three-quarters foresee an eventual increase in shipping costs to consumers. More than a third of the nation’s consumers live in population centers of 5,000 or less. “Our concern,” Sollenbarger Maple Leaf and Bellevue Granges and Boy Scouts of Bellevue wish to extend a big DID YOU KNOW?

It’s not unusual for trucking firms to travel twenty or thirty miles to make a single small delivery, and it’s obvious that kind of service would be quickly eliminated if firms are not required by regulation to offer it.” Repeating the ATA’s opposition deregulation j plans, to Sollengarger said that more than half the nation’s freight now moves by truck and that loss of interstate service to small towns is only one of the severe national dislocations economic deregulation would cause.

Nashville-Councilman resigns Thursday nite Nashville Village president George Frith reported at the village meeting Thursday night, that councilman Dick Martin wished to be granted permission to resign from his position on the council because of conflicts with his job. The council accepted Martin’s request. President Firth proposed to have Jerry Kent, a former councilman, fill the vacancy on the council. The council accepted Kent as the replacement. Tim Smith, Director of Public Works, told the council that Bill Hecker of the Hecker Agency could not insure the old grist mill much longer and the village would soon lose its liability insurance on the old structure. Councilman Ray Hinckley added that village attorney Dick Shaw would not discuss the sale of the mill, and its liabilities, with the non-profit organization that wishes to purchase the building until it is granted its incorporation papers. Linda Taylor, representative for the organization, has not informed the village of its progress for serveral weeks. She said that the papers were expected soon when she last contacted the village. Councilman Tom Oleson reported that the new police car was indeed what the village had ordered from the Ford Motor Company. However, a Ford representative told him the carburetor rattles, and radiator leak would be repaired, and the transmission pump checked. Oleson also presented the new police rules and regulations, which were accepted by the council. The council voted to extend the Neal’s Garbage pickup contract for another 60 days, at which time they will decide about future pickup service. A public hearing will be held at the Nashville fire barn at 7 p.m. July 12. Vermontville Syrup Queen, Kim Zemke, and her court members wave to the people living the street.

Telephone.. 945-9554 Hastings ' • Number 7, Wednesday, June 30, 1976 Nashville celebrates our country’s 200th with festivities— Warm sunshine, a good crowd, and old-fashioned spirit were ingredients that made the Nashville Bicentennial celebration, headed by Amy Boughton and the Bicentennial project committee, a success Saturday. An Arts and Crafts Show, horseshoe pitching tournament, and softball tournament were day-long activities for the people to enjoy. The celebration officially got underway at 11 a.m. with the start of the parade, co-chaired by Mary Ellen Wynes and Kathy Nickel. The Nashville, Barry County, and Michigan State Police sirens signaled the start of the parade as they led the procession down Main Street. Many of the sights were familiar as the Shriners Club Mini-Car Patrol made their crazy eights, and the Barry County Sheriff’s Posse sat tall atop their prancing steeds. The Vermontville Syrup Queen, Kim Zemke and her court, and the Charlotte Pioneer Queen greeted the crowd. Baton twirlfers, including the miniature variety, displayed their talents. The V.F.W., Nashville Fire Department, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, Bluebirds and Campfire Girls, 4-H Saddle Club, Maple Valley Cooperative Nursery, Bud’s Duds Square Dance group and other local clubs made their appearance. It looked like a scene from a “Gunsmoke” episode, as covered wagons, ponycarts, and children and adults dressed in pioneer garb (to help celebrate the theme of the day) moved down the street. With election time nearing, Republican Wayne Sackett were present. Nashville president George Frith and council members also took part A long line of antique cars, Maple Valley Implement, I.G.A., Heritage Bible Church, and Assembly of God and others also took part in the event. The Arts and Crafts Show, chaired by Eunice Priddy, had 81 exhibitors display their wares, with 35 artists entering the best Bicentennial work of art contest The $150 purchase winner for that contest was Kathy Nickel of Nashville. The check was presented by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. The painting will be on display in Security National Bank and Continued next page Kids enjoy the ride on the I.G.A. float.

The proceeds of the raffle will be used to help pay for the softball diamond project, sponsored by the Bicentennial committee, now underway behind the stores in downtown Nashville. Many people took part in the horseshoe pitching tournament in Putnam Park throughout the weekend. It was sponsored by the Wolverine State Horseshoe Pitching Association. There will be another tournament this coming weekend. The Nashville Baptist Church and the Softball Association sponsored Kids Games in the afternoon for the youngsters. The softball tournament was conducted to help pay for the diamond constructed at the end of Sherman Street by the Hecker Agency softball team. Kay Joseph was the chairperson for the children’s Bicentennial costume contest The celebratieh continued into the evening with a stage show and fireworks display behind the Fuller Street School, and a dance at the Nashville Fire Barn. The Stage Show, sponsored by the Nashville Lions Club, featured performances by the Senior Citizens Kitchen Band from Lansing, directed by Iris Fehrer, and magician Gregg Stambaugh of Sunfield. The Senior Citizens treated the audience to such old stand-by tunes as “Anchors Away”, “Springtime in the Rockies”, “Grand OF Flag”, “She’ll be Cornin’ ‘Round the Mountain”, “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and much more. Eva Gipe, 70, did a titalating rendition of “Lady of Spain”, and Howard Gipe, 77, tap dancedall over the stage. The stage was provided by Russ Furlong. Gregg Stambaugh turned in a professional performance that included magic, comedy, and a musical number. He won the hearts of the young and old alike. The Bicentennial dance, featuring the Rick Rodriguez Band, at the fire barn concluded the day’s activities with lots of socializing, dancing, and that old­ time friendly spirit. The Bicentennial project committee plan to make the dance an annual event to help pay for the softball diamonds and recreational park in Nashville.

There's Only One Judge Running on August 3 Judge Willard L. Mikesell The Circuit Court, the only Court of general civil and criminal jurisdiction, as well as the Court that handles appeals from the District and Probate Court: •Requires a person of extensive legal and judicial experience. •Requires a person with mature judgment and a genuine sense of fairness to everyone. Of the four candidates running for the important post of Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit Court, for Eaton and Barry Counties, there is only one experienced Judge...Judge Willard L. Mikesell. The upcoming August 3 primary election should be of vital interest to every segment of our society—labor, management, homemakers, re­ tirees, teachers and professionals. We’re all interested In the same things: safety within our homes, safety In obr streets. Judge Mikesell believes that the best deterrent to crime is the certainty of prompt apprehension, a swift, fair trial and the certainty of punishment if convicted. Eaton and Barry Counties show a dropping crime rate, while the crime rate for the rest of the state, and the nation as a whole, rs soaring. In Judge Mikesell’s words: "The crime rate here reflects the care and concern of the people in electing public officials. A safe community starts with the people. They are the ones who hold the key to authority and power. The people, in turn, give that power to the public officials whom they elect and who reflect the public's wishes.*’ "So I feel, therefore, that the counties' record is really a reflection of the people, all police agencies and prosecutors operating within these two counties, and finally, District and Circuit Courts. No one group can take more or less responsibility than the other. For it is a blend In a way of thinking that is instilled into every public official starting at the ballot box, which in turn spills over into the streets.** Judge Mikesell needs your vote and. support on August 3.

A typical day camp begins with all campers gathering around the flag pole for opening ceremonies at 9:30. Then a catchy “Announcements” song is sung, where campers get last minute instructions for that days activities. Then the girls go to their designated units. Units consist of 20 to 25 girls of the same scouting level, with 2 or more adult counselors and perhaps being assisted by a Cadette scout acting as a camp aid. The 8 units at Camp Frances included 2 Brownie units, 1 Flyup unit, (made up of 3rd graders) 2 Junior units, a nursery and boys unit (Nursery & boys were the small children of the volunteer counselors.) Back at the units, daily roll call was taken, then the group began “doing their own thing”. Some of their activities included, stone painting, lashing, carving, nature lessons, hikes, song sessions, sand casting, outdoor cooking, and some badge work. Each unit was provided with a 12 x 14 ft. canvas kitchen fly and a unit basket which contained items such as clothesline & pins, matches, tape, and soap. Other craft items were provided for their use and large equipment such as shovels, saws, grills and other cooking tools were checked out from the main building as units needed them.

At 2:30 around the flag pole, camp is again dismissed and the smaller girls went home. However, because there was so much equipment which could not be taken down each night, the camp was' attended by the Cadette Aids and an adult who stayed with them, all sleeping on the cabin floor in sleeping bags. Adults who stay to chaperone these girls need the following specifications: partially hard of hearing (so you won’t hear the blarring radio playing over the sound of lots of laughter), a stomach that will digest all kinds of “snack junk food”, you must be skilled at playing a dozen kinds of crazy card games, not get tired until midnight, and have soft back bones to withstand the hard cabin poor, (all in fun girls, I really enjoyed your company!)

This year a Brownied unit put together a camp circus, complete with acts, costumes, and baloons for everybody. The small basement area limited this years show which usually is made up of “shoe & tell” time by each unit, songs, silly skits and camp awards being handed out.

A total of 994 people said they would not favor the creation of a nine-member, politicallyappointed commission to control all undeveloped lands in Michigan.. Only 206 people said* they favored creation of such a commission. “The issue of land use seems to have died in the House Appropriations Committee where it couldn’t muster enough votes to make it to the full membership,” Nash said. “I think the opinions of the residents in my district are indicative of those all over the state and lawmakers should listen to what the people are telling us. “They want to have the authority over what they can do with their land. They don’t want more government government bureaucracy bureaucracy more telling them what they can and can’t do.” The second question asked if the respondent would supportt a graduated income tax proposal. Some 694 responded “no”, while 560 said “yes”. “Voters might be asked to decide this question when they go to the polls in November,” Nash said. “There is a petition drive in progress toopace place thee issue ssueon on thee ballot and there is a resolution in the legislature presenting a different form of graduated income tax which also might be on the ballot. households About 630 responded to the questions which accompanied a newsletter mailed to the residents in Nash’s district.

That’s when horsepower generated by steam and gasoline engines took over from the four-footed kind, and America became the wonder of the industrial and agricultural worlds.” “Our sixth annual Antique Gasoline Engine Show”, the park director continues, “is particularly appropriate as part of our Bicentennial celebration because those who attend can see the actual engines that put America on wheels go into action once again.” “From 10:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M. on July 10 and 11, steam and gasoline engines will hiss, pop and roar into operation at the park. Among the jobs they’ll perform will be the grinding of whole wheat flour, the grinding of com meal, the operation of an old-fashioned cream separator, and the action of a 1925 Baker Threshing Steam Engine that powers a shingle mill. Buzz sawing and wood splitting will also be performed. One of the vintage engines on display is the 1897 Olds Flame Ignitor, designed by R.E. Olds of Oldsmobile and Reo fame. From 1927, there’s a Rumely Oil-Pull Tractor built in Battle Creek by a company that became part of Allis-Chalmers. There’s a fully restored 1985 D John Deere tractor on hand and an ancient 1916 Avery tractor will be running. It is one of the very few of this make still in operation. Gasoline power made life a little easier for the ladies at the turn of the century, too, as evidenced by the primitive washig machines that are part of the display. Daily events will include an Antique Tractor Parade at 11 A.M. and 2 P.M., followed by a Quick-Start Competition, a Slow Race to determine which tractor can deliver power at the slowest speed and a hrilling Tractor Teeter-Totter contest. On Sunday, only, some high-wheel bicycles will join the festivities. All events occur in the environs of an authentic Michigan village of the 1850’s that has been re­ created on the banks of the Thornapple River, just off Highway 79 between Hastings and Nashville. Picnic and recreation areas are part of the complex. Admission to the all­ day event is $2.00 for adults, fifty cents for children under 12. Charlton Park is a unique complex and truly at its best when the old village comes to life, awakened by the pop-pops, putputs and roars that propelled the country into unrivalled productivity less than a century ago.

Box A Nashville, Michigan (Phone, Hastings — 945-9554) Volume 103 — Number 8 — Wednesday, July 7, 1976 Bluegrass Music Festival, July 25th. It’s hard to believe. It’s just plain hard to believe that bluegrass music is finding a home in Michigan. The sound that drifted north from the Appalachians and the Ozarks can be found nearly in your own backyard when the Thornapple Bluegrass Music Festival is held at Barry County’s Charlton Park on July 25. It’s a place where bluegrass has settled in comfortably. The pure, old-timey sounds are a perfect blend with the rustic heritage of the park’s restored 1850’s village. Bluegrass is a music that has picked up a growing momentum in the last few years in Michigan. First, it was just a few guitar and banjo pickers who started listening to the crisp, clean sounds being played by Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys and later on picking out the harddriving music of Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. But then, the whole thing started mushrooming. Bluegrass music festivals started popping up here and there across the state. More and more people began to feel the simple pleasure that listening to bluegrass music in the summer sunshine could bring. Last year, Charlton Park’s first bluegrass festival drew some 1600 people - people from five to 65 coming from all kinds of backgrounds. Some came because they liked the park, others because they liked the music. No matter who they were, though, they all felt the music’s perfect harmony with Charlton Park, pronounced the festival a success, and promised to bring along their friends this year. The story of the Thornapple Bluegrass Music Festival tells a lot about how enthusiasm for bluegrass has swept the state and the nation. The music first reached one of the festival planners, Bob Johnston, when he was a student at Western Michigan University. He liked the sounds and joined a bluegrass band. “When I moved to Hastings,” said Johnston, who is now a reporter, “I brought an idea for a bluegrass festival with me.” The wide reach of bluegrass festivals to all sorts of personalities and backgrounds is well displayed in the people who became involved as the festival idea turned to firm plans. Frank Walsh, director of the *park? was attracted by the music’s, unity with the park’s (continued, page 2) Welcome to Nashville Martha Stevens Branch Manager Savings and Loan Grand Opening The new Eaton Federal Savings and Loan branch office in Nashville will hold its Grand Opening July 7-10, from 9-4:30 Wednesday through Friday, and from 9-3 on Saturday.

Maple Valley News Photo �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday July 7,1976 - Page 2 Bluegrass Festival, continuedcharacter. Tim King, manager of a music store, became chairman of the first festival, though he had never been to one. Mark Feldpausch, a carpenter and amateur musician, heard by word-of-mouth about the planning and volunteered to help. Doug Acker, a printer and amateur musician, saw a bluegrass festival as a way to bring music into more people’s lives. Along with Johnston, these people began making contacts across the state to learn how a festival should be organized. They soon found a strong community of bluegrass enthusiasts who were willing to help. As their names became part of that community, they too, were trading tips and ideas with people who, like themselves, wanted bluegrass to reach out to everyone. “To me, it’s easier to say what bluegrass isn’t than what it is,” Feldpausch, chairman of the year’s festival, said at a recent planning session. “It isn’t country-western. It’s not electric or rock. I know that it is a mix of the old-time mountain songs and modern acoustic instruments.” Part of the appeal of bluegrass seems to be its mountain flavor. Until recent times, many of the songs were never written down. They were learned by ear and by heart. Its popularity is being fed by nostalgia and the increasing desire of many Americans to return to the simple life. The songs of bluegrass often sound as lonesome as the train whistle winding through an Appalachian valley; the harmonies are simple, smooth and tight. But bluegrass, unlike many other music types, can quickly turn to a fast-moving, hard-driving, up-tempo sound that makes feet stomp, spoons clack and hands clap. And, it has only been through *bluegrass unique combination of instruments — usually a banjo and bass, mandolin, fiddle, guitar and dobro, which somewhat resembles an Hawaiian guitar that this diversity has been achieved. “Bluegrass makes you feel good whether you’re singing it or listening to it,” Johnston said. “The words are simple - about love, or grief, or home - and the harmonies are basic. The songs sound honest and people like that.” It’s a fact that growing numbers of people do like bluegrass. New groups are always forming and festivals have exploded in both attendance and number held. The Stringbean Memorial Festival in Charlotte grew from about 200 people in 1972 to over 6,000 attending in 1976.

(Reminder photo) people involved are not professionals. The festivals are being organized by people who are just interested, and most times, the performers return on Monday morning to their homes and everyday jobs. All of the groups performing at Charlton Park, groups like Sweet Com, Cabbage Crik, Kathy Ann' and the Sounds of the South and Happy Days, are made up of people who devote their weekdays to careers and weekends to bluegrass. But they are serious about their music. Most of their spare time goes to practicing. They develop the same professionalism as the top touring bluegrass musicians. Swimmers Itch is 'itchy’ (caused by parasites) swimmers itch is a skin infection some bathers are confronted with usually during the months of June and July. Bathers may.contract a skin rash from tiny parasites after swimming in affected waters. 11 is caused by a small parasite, derived from birds, that spend a part of their life cycle in certain species of water snails. These snails release the larva organisms in the water. In their search for a second host, they enter the skin of human bathers where they cause a rash and intense itching. This itching may last for several days until the organisms die. Where persons are in contact with infected waters, we recommend: Upon emerging from the water, briskly rub the skin dry with a towel. This will greatly reduce the number of penetrations. Children should not be permitted to play for extended periods in shallow water. The Barry-Eaton District Health Department requests you to report cases of swimmers itch to their new office, phone 945­ 9516. The Health Department can also advise interested persons about water treatment procedures and how to obtain a permit from D.N.R.

That’s what bluegrass does.” Bluegrass and Charlton Park are able to give people the same feelings. Few things could be more' complementary than listening to the mountain songs that were handed from generation to generation while closely examining a hand-hewn log at the carpenter’s shop or watching a blacksmith shape red hot metal into a nail or a horseshoe. Until they arrive at the park, nestled on the banks of the Thornapple River, few people realize the importance of the festival’s slogan: “Come out and breathe the fresh music.” But when they do arrive, they see that bluegrass has, indeed, found a home. The music begins at noon on Sunday, July 25. For $2 for adults and 50c for children, you can listen to some of the best that bluegrass has to offer, tour a restored stage coach inn, see an excellent collection of artifacts in the museum and walk into the past at the one room school house and the village church. Bring along a picnic lunch and relax along with riverbanks. Take advantage of the new swimming beach and recreation facilities. Charlton Park is located at 2545 S.

It’s unhurried, uncluttered, unwilling to become pseudo sophisticated and somewhat reluctant to accept "very “new fangled” idea as real progress. The spirit of Michigan’s prosperous lumbering era, for example, is alive and well and resides quietly in Huron City. This charming village is a preservation of an impressive and illustrious past The town was built by Langdon Hubbard about 1855 and became the center of operations for the Hubbard sawmill and extensive timber holdings. Forest fires destroyed the town in 1871 and again in 1881. Hubbard rebuilt the city both times, first to continue the lumbering enterprise, but the second time as an agricultural and trading center. Seven buildings line the main street of Huron City today, three of which stand on their original foundations. Each of the buildings house authentic (many original) furnishings and and fixtures, artifacts memorabilia refelcting the many facets of its thriving past and notable residents. There’s the chink and mortar log cabin, circa 1825, the Langdon Hubbard General Store, Community House Inn, carriage shed, Coast Guard Station, Huron City Church where the pulpit eloquence of Professor William Lyon Phelps attracted a mammouth congregation from hundreds of miles for forty summers, and, the new fireproof brick museum which contains much of Professor Phelps’ valuable summer library. Several of the walls of the museum are adorned with murals depicting pioneer life in Huron City, painted by Mrs. Annabel Phelps. Instead of her signature, Mrs. Phelps identified her work with her red Irish setter, Rufus. Edgar A. Guest, Michigan’s poet laureate, was a close friend and golfing buddy of Professor Phelps. In 1935, Mr. Guest wrote a poem about the Huron City Church where the pulpit eloquence of Professor William Lyon Phelps attracted a mammouth congregation from hundreds of miles for forty summers, and, the new fireproof brick museum which contains much of Professor Phelps’ valuable summer library. Several of the walls of the museum are adorned with murals depicting pioneer life in Huron City, painted by Mrs. Annabel Phleps. Instead of her signature, Mrs. Phelps identified her work with her red Irish setter, Rufus. Edgar A. Guest, Michigan’s poet laureate, was a close friend and golfing buddy of Professor Phelps. In 1935, Mr. Guest wrote OPEN LETTER The religious funeral is usually public so that members of the bereaved's religious community can share their emotional and spiritual sup­ port and join in the affirma­ tion of belief.

Sugar beets are another major commodity of the county and the large processing plant of the Michigan Sugar Company at Sebewaing on Saginaw Bay, injure next year’s alfalfa seeding if rate of two pounds or more per acre had been used on the 1975 com crop. Injury to the alfalfa will be severe and possibly result in a stand failure if the application a year before the alfalfa seeding was one or two pounds and the application two years before alfalfa was four pounds to control quackgrass. A generalized recommendation is that if AAtrex is used at the recommended four pound per acre rate to control quackgrass, Com should be grown another year, preferably two, without AAtrex to eliminate carryover effect on seeded alfalfa. Suggested herbicide combinations to use on com in the year or years prior to seeding alfalfa are given in Extension Bulletin E-434, “Weed Control on Field Crops.” The Extension Office urges farmers to keep an accurate record of rates of herbicide application to eliminate the danger of AAtrex injury to alfalfa seedings.

At this meeting we were honored with the presence of Representative Wayne Sackett, Mr. Gaft, a member of the taxation committee from Berrien County, Jave Love, supervisor of Assyria Twp., Theodore McKelvey of Maple Grove, Joel Welty of Prairieville Twp. At this meeting we made the move to go to our township hall on June 10 to make signs to carry at the Capitol. On June 15th we went to Lansing, met several Representatives, Senator Richard Allen and others from the Capitol.

I can see again A Bay City marketing analyst, an attractive Cass City grandmother and an eight-year old Hudson girl have some important things in common. All have had successful corneal transplants and can see again, thanks to the Michigan Eye-Bank and its supporting Lions Clubs. “You don’t realize how much your sight means to you until you lose it and then get it back again,” Donald J. Massnick, a double corneal transplant recipient, said. “I take nothing for granted any more.” A Bay City area resident, Massnick now is manager of marketing information systems for The Dow Chemical Company in Midland. But 20 years ago, blindness threatened to end his career. In 1960, he received one of the first of hundreds of successful corneal transplants that have been performed in Michigan since the birth, in 1957, of the Michigan Eye-Bank. Both Massnick and Mrs. Marilyn McDonald of Cass City suffered from “keratoconus,” an eye condition in which the cornea becomes cone-shaped. In their cases, the corneas broke, resulting in blindness. After two years on the waiting list of the eye-bank at The University of Michigan Medical Center, Massnick was told that a cornea was available for transplantation. “I was scared to death,” he admitted. “Eye transplants were fairly new then and I guess you might say it was a feeling of eeriness.” Although healing and adjustment to the new tissue was a slow process, he recalled, “Every morning, I’d get up and see something that I hadn’t seen for years.” In 1962, a second transplant restored sight to his other eye. “That time, I could hardly wait,” he said. For the first time in nearly 20 years, he not only had sight, but depth of field, which is not possible without two eyes. “I would do little things like look at trees and blades of grass and remember when I couldn’t see those things,” he said. He joined the EssexvilleHampton Lions Club and has worked to further the eye-bank program at both the state and local levels. Describing her visual problem, Mrs. McDonald said, “I had a lot of difficulty in school because I couldn’t see to read — I just had to remember everything.” She had married and her two daughters were in their early teens when one of her corneas broke, destroying the minimal sight remaining in that eye. Ona waiting list for two and one-half years, it was her turn, in 1968, to receive a new cornea. Her second transplant took place in A&N Excavating Inc.

Active and versatile, she also does both office and sales work for a local clothing store. “I’m really very appreciative -1 know what it would have been like if I hadn’t had it," she said of her transplant surgery. “I think it has made me a much more outgoing person than I ever was before.” Pretty little Arnie Barnes of Governor’s task force to hold property tax hearings Governor Milliken’s Advisory Task Force on Property Tax Revision will be providing an opportunity for the public to respond to their interim report at seven public hearings scheduled around the state for this summer. Lieutenant Governor James J. Damman is the chairman of the task force which is charged with the responsibility of completely studying all aspects of the property tax system and recommending those administrative, constitutional or statutory changes they deem appropriate. In early July an interim report will be presented to the Governor from the task force which consists of the directors of the Department of Management and Budget, the Department of Education, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Treasury, and the Governor’s Special Assistant for Education. The interim report will present alternatives to the present property tax system. All aspects of the property tax system are being studied. A review is being made of the effectiveness in administration of the property tax, including assessments, equalization and appeals. The purpose and effectiveness of current property tax relief programs are being studied with particular emphasis on the “circuit-breaker” property tax credit program and other exemptions. Proposals are being studied which would equalize the ability of local units to provide public services and a review is being made of the property tax as it is used to finance public education and its relationship to equal educational opportunities. The schedule of public hearings is as follows: 1) Monday, July 12 at 1 p.m. in Notice BUD’S DUDS ICE CREAM DANCE, July 17, 7:30 to 11 p.m. at the Vermontville Fire Barn. All square dancers welcome.

It’s very rare to have tissue from a child of that age," she said. After a hurried family conference, the surgery was scheduled for the following day. Mrs. Barnes has since pledged her own eyes. “Ifs sad that more people don’t realize what that can mean to another person. I like to think that when I die, a part of me will live on in someone else,” she said. Often, as Arnie goes to bed, she says in her prayers, “I feel bad that the parents had to lose their little boy, but I thank you, God, that he left me his eyes.” Further information about the eye-bank may be obtained from your local Lions Club or by writing to a Michigan Eye-Bank Division at The University of Michigan’s Parkview Medical Center in Ann Arbor; Wayne State University’s Kresge Eye Institute in Detroit, or Marquette General Hospital in the Upper Peninsula.

Bill Hecker of the Hecker Agency advised village president George Frith that Nashville’s liability insurance on the land would have to be canceled July 12 if the village did not try to sell the property immediately. To date, the non-profit organization that wished to purchase the mill and convert it into a museum had failed to obtain the incorporation papers necessary to buy the mill and retain the insurance on it. PBS Realty had previously purchased the property to be used as a site for a 12 unit apartment house. But, zoning obstacles presented a problem with some property opposing the multi-dwelling building. Tim Boucher, representing PBS, said it still intended to build a multi-living residential building, and feels that the property can be legally used for multi-residential living. He claims the property is already zoned multi-residential, and will take the issue to court if necessary. With the insurance soon to be canceled, the council could not risk the chance of a liability lawsuit against the village and voted to sell the land at the price offered in the previous PBS deal. The $6,900 will be paid in cash upon the receipt of the deed. The village of Nashville will still retain access to the dam. Originally, the village purchased the property so it could have access to the dam, behind the mill, for repair work. In April,- Linda Taylor, representing the non-profit museum organization, offered the village $500 for the mill. She said the organization was not interested in the land and the village could keep the property deed. Mrs. Taylor said the organization was willing to take responsibility for insuring the 110 year old structure, and hoped the Continued page 2 The 110 year old grist mill along the Thornapple River in Nashville has shown its age unng the recent controversies.

(Maple Valley News Photo) Even though the 4th of July is over, bicentennial celebrations continued last week with a community picnic at the village square in Vermontville on Saturday. Many people gathered with their friends and neighbors from around the community to make the old fashioned picnic a fun time for all. To start things off, the Boy Scouts raised the Library Pole at the museum lawn to symbolize the freedom we now enjoy. A descendant of a centennial sugar maple tree in Niles was also presented to the village of Vermontville. Hildred Peabody, bicentennial chairperson, said the tree would be planted in about 1980. The Vermontville Jaycees sponsored old. fashioned games for the people following the picnic feast. Prizes were donated by Vermontville merchants. The “All Americans” provided music in the evening and also conducted a sing-along. The Vermontville fire department treated the folks to a good old water fight and themselves to a good cooling off. Emcee of the event was Doug Kelsey. Special agent at Hecker Agency John W. Fisher has been appointed a special agent in western Michigan for Auto­ Owners Insurance of Lansing. He will be servicing The Hecker Agency, 227 N. Main St. in Nashville. Fisher,' a native of Grand Rapids, is new to Auto-Owners but has spent six years in the insurance industry as a commercial lines underwriter and underwriter-field representative.

Mrs. Taylor and members of the organization boarded up and secured the mill for insurance reasons, as part of the sales agreement As of last week, the organization had yet to receive its incorporation papers that was said were necessary for the group to buy the mill. The mill was never officially purchased by the organization as a result. In April, Boucher said he was willing to sign a withdrawal of interest on the PBC sales agreement if it could have the first option of purchase should the museum project fail.

The size of the choir is one thing of note. Another is the fact that it is made up of individuals from dioceses all across the country, including four from the Diocese of Kalamazoo. These four and hundreds of other diocesan representatives are busy limbering up their vocal cords and learning a wide selection of music on their own before they pull it all together a few days before the Congress begins. Selected to represent the Kalamazoo Diocese are: Soprano - Mrs. Joyce Ryan, Battle Creek; Alto - Mrs. Ila Shenk, Battle Creek; Tenor - Brother Dave Richards, SM, Kalamazoo; and Bass Mr. Rudolf van Baal, Battle Creek. The four singers from the e were Kalamazoo Diocese were auditions selected from conducted by the Diocesan Worship Committee’s Music Subcommittee. Coordinating the effort were Mr. Geoffrey Wright, Music Director at St.- Monica’s Parish, Kalamazoo; Mr. Calvert Shenk, Organist and Choirmaster at St. Philip Parish, Battle Creek; and Sister Theresa Maclntryre, SSJ, Organist at Holy Family Chapel, Nazareth, and Campus Minister at Nazareth College. Shenk is also working with the choir members to prepare them for the Eucharistic Congress. Practices are held weekly at St. Philip Parish, but learning the music requires a lot more time individually. According to Bass, Rudolf van Baal, learning the music is “all I’ve been thinking about most of the summer.’’ Van Baal said he spends time every day on his own practicing the music. He also works about 70 hours a week at two jobs in the Battle Creek area. Once assembled, the National Eucharistic Choir will join voices in providing choral music for 12 major liturgies during Congress week. Selections range from traditional Gregorian chant to contemporary music composed especially for the Congress. The 41st International Eucharistic Congress is a world­ wide spiritual assembly of Catholics and other Christians to demonstrate their faith, love and commitment to Jesus in the Eucharist.

Many seem confused when they enter college and often change schools and curriculums in their search for the job best suited for their talents. Many complete their schooling, only to discover they made a mistake after they enter the job market. Only about ten per cent of the students remain in the John Simon measures a liquid prescription. (Maple Valley News Photo) Simon Pharmacy has been serving the people of Maple Valley for ten years. (Maple Valley News Photo) career they pursued in school. Then there is the problem of supply and demand, where more students have chosen an occupation than the number of jobs available. Students entering the teaching profession are experiencing this today. Following WWII, one such career was engineering. John Simon, of Simon Pharmacy in Nashville, can contest to that. After high school, Simon entered Grand Rapids Junior College in pursuit of a career in engineerihg. With the war escalating and after one year of school, he joined the Army Air Corps as a fighter pilot, serving in the Aleutian Islands. Upon his return home and with the advancement of the technological age, he discovered an abundance of students entering the field of engineering. Then Simon met his wife, the former Wilma Louise Corey of Big Rapids, and enrolled at Ferris State College in the field of Pharmacy. “I was always interested in the sciences, Ferris had one of the best pharmacy programs in the state, and my wife lived in the area, so everything just kind of fell into place.” His first job was with Medical Arts Apothecary in Grand Rapids, where he worked as a pharmacist for ten years. He then sold surgical and medical supplies in the Grand Rapids area with the same business for seven years. During this time he also worked part-time in various drug stores to help them out. In addition, he worked in hospital and nursing home pharmacies. In July, 1966, Simon bought the present Simon Pharmacy store in Nashville. “I always had the desire to own a store in the back of my mind,” said Simon. “I had been looking for quite awhile and finally reached the time of decision.” “Nashville is the kind of town I was looking for, and I feel it can be the ‘hub’ of rural living,” said Simon. “It’s a very pretty place, and is centrally located between the larger cities. I like the small town atmosphere it presents.” Simon said there are four things that a pharmacist, who wishes to buy a drug store, should experience before going into business. He feels they should work-in a small town store, a suburban store, an apothecary, and should sell medical supplies on the road. “All drug store owners should have this background that is necessary to understand the various relationships with patients that you can’t acquire in school. It’s a good study of human nature.” Simon enjoys his work and all of its responsibilities. “The pharmacist must guide his patients and make sure they (ake the right dosage. If they don’t, it could be harmful. He must make sure a new prescription doesn’t conflict with other drugs the patient may be taking. The components of various drugs can interact and create unfavorable reactions.” Simon has records on each patient and the drugs they’ve taken that date back to 1967. “I’ve had occasions where I had to call the doctor back because he had prescribed a drug that t conflicted with another the patient was taking.

The position was vacated when. Jim Wynes took a job as superintendant of schools in Atlanta, Michigan. Hartenburg first came to Maple Valley in 1959, teaching at Vermontville High School until 1964. He then took a job as a salesman before starting at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School in 1970. Since then he has taught, served as community education director, and assistant principal and athletic director. Hartenburg has his B.A. and _M.A. from Michigan State University, and is currently working on his Specialist degree from M.S.U. “I see no major curriculum, text book, or philosophy changes,” said Hartenburg. “His views (Wynes) and my views on education are very similiar. “I feel fortunate that we have healthy family and parental support of our educational system, something not all schools have. Most~of our students value education also. “The biggest change we’ll make next year will be a new attendance policy that will be enforced,” said Hartenburg. “I also wish we could have a middle school in the near future,” he added. “There is too much of an age difference between the junior high and senior high school students.” hartenburg and his wife, Audrey, are originally from Eaton Rapids. The Hartenburgs have four children, Julie 17, Gretchen 16, Rachel 12, and Kurt 9. The Burr Hartenburg family members are (on couch, left to right) Gretchen, Audrey, Burr, Julie, (seated on floor) Rachel, and Kurt..

Art Stewart of Nashville, hopes to make that dream a reality. The 6-ft. 155-lb. outfielder was recently contacted by Cincinatti Reds scout, Fred Hayes, and was invited to the team’s tryout camp in Lansing last week. “The competition was tough,” said Stewart, there were alot of good ballplayers there.” Stewart, 18 and a 1976 Maple Valley High School graduate, started playing Little League when he was 8 years old, and has played baseball ever summer since. He has played on the Maple Valley Junior League, Connie Mack, American Legion, and the J.V. and Varsity Baseball teams at Maple Valley High School. This year Stewart batted .424, belted two homers, and drove in 19 runs for the Maple Valley Varsity Baseball team, and was named to the Associated Press All-State Class C first team. He was also picked on the Tri­ Central Athletic Association team, and was voted the MVP by his teammates. Stewart struck out only 4 times all season. Stewart hit .388, .468, and .346, his first three seasons respectively at Maple Valley High School. He was named to the All-Conference first team as a junior, when he set a school records with 26 hits that year. He broke his own record this season with 28 hits. Obviously, Stewart is a good hitter, and he attributes much of his batting success to his father, Harold Stewart “He used to pitch to me in the backyard when I was just a young kid,” said Stewart. “Art was always a good natural § .totam *»*tss tss fWlSJEh HL ! ®i®Wj I afi« ■0’ WiW® tail ®(1®k nta i WlitoijMj is n ^:®!a I 'affiitKfe , I P*tata hitter,” added Harold Stewart Stewart also has a special philosophy on hitting. “I try to hit the first pitch most of the time,” he said. The pitcher usually throws a good fastball right over the plate.” Stewart has improved defensively. He made only one error as a centerfielder this season compared to five errors his junior year. “It just started coming natural to me near the end of my junior year.” Stewart enjoys playing Centerfield. “It’s the only position where you have lots of room to move.” “People tell me I have a good arm, but I don’t think so,” he added. “I think alot of players can throw better than I can.” Ever since he first picked up a bat, baseball has been his favorite sport. “I have always wanted to play for the Detroit Tigers,” Stewart smiled.

JUSTIN COOLEY GENEVA BRUMM At my request Geneva Brumm consented again to be a Republican Candidate for Castleton Township Treasurer. I made this request because, having worked with her on tthe Township Board and in conjunction with other Township business, I know how dedicated she is to her work and to the residents of this Township. Her dedication and knowledge of the responsibilities for an excellent auditor’s report each year. Because the present Township Clerk is retiring at the end of this term and the Township Board will have a new Trustee, I thought the knowledge Geneva has of the Clerk’s duties and the responsibilities of the Trustee would be indispensible during any resultant transition period. Geneva has been very helpful to everyone from Senior Citizens to new taxpayers. Your vote in the August 3rd primary will be deeply appreciated by both Geneva and myself.

District Need New, Active, Effective, and Articulate People Representation in Lansing. IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE IN LANSING! �Maple Valley Newt, Naihville, Michigan, Wedneeday, July 28. 1976 - Page 4 State Historical Society offers centennial business certificates In honor of the Bicentennial era. the Historical Society of Michigan is offering centennial business certificates to all businesses in the state that were founded at least 100 years ago. According to Frank C. Wilhelme. director of the state historical society, the centennial business program is being conducted to encourage Michigan communities to become more aware of their business and industrial history. “We hope that this program will also increase the interest in preserving important commercial and industrial buildings throughout the state," Wilhelme said. “These structures serve as significant visual links with our past." To launch the centennial business certificate program, the Historical Society of Michigan is holding a contest to find the oldest business in the state. The Oldestt Business in Michigan Contest will locate the oldest ongoing businesses that still pursue their original business or one that is closely related. Contest winners will be named in three categories: (1) oldest continuously operating business in original building, (2) oldest continuously operating business on original site but not in original building, and (3) oldest continuously operating business relocated from original building and site. Winners in each category will receive framed certificates from the Historical Society of and Michigan honorary corporate memberships in the society. In addition, the business with the oldest overall founding date will be presented with a framed pen and ink drawing of its first business office. To apply for a centennial business certificate and to enter the contest, businesses should send a letter to the Society with the following information: (1) name of business, address, and zip code, (2) date business was founded, (3) Xerox copy or description of documentation to verify founding date, (4) contest category, (5) name and address of person submitting entry, and (6) name of the president or chief executive officer of the business. All letters should be postmarked no later than Aug. 15. They should be mailed to the Historical Society of Michigan, 2117 Washtenaw Ave., Ann Arbor, Mich. 48104. The centennial business certificates will be presented this fall in cooperation with local historical organizations. Contest winners will be announced as soon as the results are tabulated. The State Library, the State Archives, and the State Historic Preservation Officer will receive a list of all centennial businesses and their founding dates. This information will be used by researchers studying Michigan’s early commercial and industrial history. A nonprofit organization, the Historical Society of Michigan promotes the preservation of state and local history throughout Michigan.

Fred Frith, Supervisor Lets Nagle, Clerk JaaeThnm, Treasurer Lloyd Hill, Trustee Harold Cook, Trustee �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, July 28,1976 — Page 5 Know your Michigan law By Attorney General Frank J. Kelley (This is a public service article explaining in general terms a provision of Michigan law. Individuals who wish to determine the effect of any law upon their private legal affairs should consult a private attorney.) Ifyou have been thinking about investing some money, the following pointers may help keep you from losing it. First, remember that an investment is a purchase, nothing more. You are buying a chance to make money. And, as with any other purchase, you should investigate both the seller and the product before handing over your money. In Michigan, this is easy to do because investors have a law designed to protect them against fraud, the Uniform Securities Act of 1965. Sometimes called the “Blue Sky Law,” it requires all securities and the people who sell them to be registered with the state Department of Commerce. A phone call to the department’s Corporation and Securities Bureau (517-373-0485) will usually dispel any doubts you may have. Insist that the salesperson show you a “prospectus,” a detailed description of the investment. The law doesn’t require this but, if the dealer won’t produce it, you have good cause to be suspicious. Also, shy away from dealers offering very high interest rates. They usually involve a lot of risk. This law also makes it illegal for anybody selling securities to defraud customers, lie to them, or ““forget forget”” important information. Violators are subject to a $5000 fine and-oi three years in prison. If you have already made an investment and think you maj have been cheated, complain vigorously - to the person wh< sold you the security. He or sh< may offer you a “recision,’ which simply means: all youi money back, plus six percen annual interest Grab it. A securities dealer is immune to prosecution if he or she offers a recision and it is not accepted within 30 days. If the dealer refuses to refund your money, you can take the case to court. But you have to do it within two years after the date of the contract If you’re not familiar with the securities market or if you’re planning to invest a lot of money, it might be a good idea to have the advice of a financial counselor before you make any move at all. And, in case you’re wondering: the Blue Sky Law got its name because that is just what cheated investors used to get for their money, the blue sky. It’s like of like buying the Brooklyn Bridge. Don’t you be the one to buy the blue sky. It’s one of the few views in the world still free.

This predator preys on more human lives than any other single factor inthe United States. It travels well over 55 miles an hour and can weigh over two tons. It comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. The automobile. Yet it’s not the car, but the driver who makes it the danger that it is. If more drivers obeyed the laws, observed the signs, and possessed the necessary knowledge of various driving situations, American roads would be much safer. Drivers Education programs throughout the country are doing their part to help alleviate this menace to society. With the ranng, and training, experience, important information these classes supply, young people of today should be entering the highways more responsible drivers than ever before. There are about 200 students taking Drivers Education at Maple Valley High School this summer. They are all 15 or 16 years old, and will be either sophomores or juniors this fall. They are divided into two groups, and must complete 30 hours of classroom work and at least six hours of actual driving experience. Jerry Reese, Larry Lenz, and Mike Booher are the driving instructors. Hoefler,and Ricketts also conduct the classroom sessions. The school has leased five cars k - the students to drive this summer. The kids start driving in the high school parking lot, and from there, venture to Nashville or Vermontville. They gradually progress to larger cities such as Charlotte, Hastings, Marshall, Lansing, and Battle Creek. During their driving experience the students practice stops, parking, expressway driving, driving in heavy traffic, on one-way streets, and much more. “The students get real good experience in their six hours of driving at Maple Valley,” said Ricketts. “Many schools do most of the driving in the parking lot” The students must score 45 out of a possible 60 points in order to pass the driving portion of the course. They are graded on preignition, backing, speed control, observing traffic signs and signals, turns, signal usage, lane changes, staying in the center of the land, proper following distance, right of way at intersections, freeway driving, passing, parking, alertness, calmness; reaction to various driving situations, and driving courtesy. “We judge the students mostly on the confidence and performance they display in knowing the laws, the right of way, and correct reaction to various driving situation,” said Hoefler. “If they score the necessary 45 points, but continually do something wrong, they may not pass the course. We don’t want somebody like that on our roads. “Most of the kids are scared to death and have no knowledge The Drivers Education instructors at Maple Valley High School are (Left to right) Jerry Reese, Greg Hoefler, Chris Ricketts, Larry Lenz, and.Mike Booher.

These emblems are required by law on vehicles moving at less than 25 miles per hour on roads and highways in all states in the United States and most Canadian Provinces.

Her dedication and knowledge of the responsibilities for an excellent auditor’s report each year. Because the present Township Clerk is retiring at the end of this term and the Township Board will have a new Trustee, I thought the knowledge Geneva has of the Clerk's duties and the responsibilities of the Trustee would be indispensible during any resultant transition period.

Byington - Merit emergency agriculture, Nashville cub scout newsTuesday afternoon the Cub Scouts and their families along with the Boy Scouts set up a picnic and game area at Charlton Park. The preliminary fire starting, table setting, and ice cream cranking seemed to fall mostly to the older generation but once out of the way it required only one call to get a lot of hungry kids to the table. Before the adults had finished eating, the kids were off en mass to the game area, where they raced, threw softballs, and tossed frisbees. The Cub Scouts, with a little help, dragged the Boy Scouts all over in the tug-o-war. The younger kids dug for pennies. Parents had their share of fun too. They became half of a water baloon tossing team - fortunately the weather made for fast drying. Homemade ice cream came next and while everyone enjoyed some the youngest ladies there drew names for the door prizes. The most coveted prize was an ELECTRIC ice cream freezer won by Mr. John Reese. The kids headed for a short game of softball while the rest of us returned the area to it “before” condition. The pictures taken will be on display School Night in September. We would like to thank the parents who shoed up and helped keep the boys bosy and things running smoothly. Maple Valley to have summer "Fun week The week of August 16 - 20.

Ionia Free Fair, ...largest of it’s kind in the world opens— For 61 years, die people of Ionia have gotten together each summer to produce what has come to be the worlds largest free fair. THE IONIA FREE FAIR attracts over a half-million people each year to the scenic Grand River Valley. During the 10 day run, the fair presents nationally known entertainers, one of the nations finest carnival midways, thousands of free exhibits and hundreds of special attractions. Most exhibits are housed in permanent buildings on the 130 acre grounds. Organized in 1915 as a good will bridge to bring together urban and rural citizens in the area, The Ionia Free Fair grew out of a citizens meeting called by former Michigan Governor Fred W. Green, then Mayor of Ionia. The less than successful county fairs that had preceeded the free fair had lacked quality Entertainment to augment the agricultural displays. It was decided that the new fair would be an exhibition, an exposition, and a carnival all in one. Today the Ionia Free Fair offers something for everyone. Everything you would expect from a county fair, plus those special attractions that you expect only from the world’s largest free fair! Special attractions at this years fair include: The Great Balloon Race, “MUSIC 200”, National Championship Horse Pulling, Canoe racing on the Grand River, and the largest carnival midway north of the Ohio River. The 1976 IONIA FREE FAIR gets underway this year with a spectacular event, unique to western Michigan. “The GREAT BALLOON RACE”, a competitive event between fifteen giant hot air balloons. Several thousand dollars in prize money will be at stake. But, for the spectators the competition of the event takes a back seat to the sheer majestic splendor of these huge, silent, lighter than air machines. The big balloons, some as large as ten stories high, will fill the air above the fair grounds sometime in the early evening of Friday, August 6. If you’ve never seen a balloon race before, this is the one you should see. Children from 2 to 92 will enjoy the brightly colored balloons, the thrill of competition, and after the race, the thousands of other fine attractions at the World’s Largest Free Fair. “MUSIC 200”. This program, produced by the Ionia Bicentennial Committee, is a journey into American History through 200 years of music. Many of Michigan’s top professional musicians will bring you the music of all periods of pur Country’s development. You will hear the banjo music and spirituals of the South; the songs popular during the Wars, the Roaring 20’s and the big band era; as well as country, jazz and rock! vo/aw TO VISIT OUR BIOLOGICAL INSECTICIDE PROTECTS YOUR GARDEN— AND THE ENVIRONMENT BRIDAL BOUTIQUE Every bride dreams of the perfect wedding . . a day that she will hold dear all through their lives together.

Leaf-eaters’ life cycle - (1) Eggs are laid by mature moths in late summer; (2) caterpillars hatch next spring and begin life with a voracious appetite, (3) spinning their own cocoons, from which they emerge (4) as moths, which in turn re-start the cycle by laying thousands of eggs again each year. Key to breaking the chain is to frequently spray foliage with Dipel, an environmentally safe biological insecticide. Scientists have been looking for insecticides that are envi­ ronmentally safe—but also ef­ fective—ever since DDT was banned by the federal govern­ ment in 1970. Now they’ve got one: A bac­ terial insecticide that is called "Bt,” short for Bacillus thuringiensis. It is being marketed commercially under the name Dipel. Now availbale for home and garden use, it’s a naturallyoccurring substance, not a chemical. It is so safe, in fact, you can skip the usual waiting time between spraying and harvesting required by chem­ ical sprays. But the real beauty is that Dipel attacks only leaf-eating caterpillars — not bees, lady­ bugs, birds or earthworms — but tomato homworms, cab­ bage loopers, inchworms, gypsy moths, tent caterpillars, tussock moths, spruce bud­ worms and other common leaf-eating pests. What is Bt and how does it work? It’s actually a bacterium that Mother Nature uses peri­ odically to limit the leaf-eat­ ing worm population. In con­ centrated form, the substance attacks their stomach walls so that they stop feeding and lit­ erally starve to death. But don’t expect an instant kill, since it may take two or three days for the caterpillars to finally die — even though their destructive eating stops right away. Dipel was introduced to farmers five years ago to pro­ tect commercial vegetable crops such as lettuce, cabbage, celery and broccoli. It has been tested and registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use with most other major vegetables that are at­ tacked by leaf-eating caterpil­ lars, as well as ornamental or shade trees. Now that it is available for home use, Dipel or (Bt) can be found in most hardware or lawn and garden 'stores. It comes as a powder that is mix­ ed with water and applied with hose-end, slide, or tank-type sprayers. □ WEDDING INVITATIONS □ WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENTS □ THANK-YOU CARDS □ RECEPTION CARDS □ NAPKINS □ WEDDING MATCHES □ ACCESSORIES □ ATTENDANTS GIFTS SAMPLE BOOKS MAY BE TAKEN OUT OVERNIGHT FOR YOUR SELECTION AT YOUR CONVENIENCE. �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, August 4, 1976 — Page 10 Au Sable,rifle and thunder rivers bring back memories of of the old logging days The 1880s Paul Bunyan days, when braggish campstove yarns and the plaintive song of the crosscut saw filled the forest air are gone, but their memories remain in the valleys of Michigan’s Au Sable, Rifle and Thunder Bay rivers, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. Once clogged each spring with the cream of Michigan’s white pine forests, the rivers now carry thousands of canoeists each summer weekend past visible reminders of the lumbering era and through pine and oak forests which again cover the north.. The Au Sable, synonomous with canoeing, is the longest of the three rivers. Its navigable, rapidfree branches meander 240 miles before emptying into Lake Huron at Oscoda, site of the annual Paul Bunyan Festival in mid-August. The Au Sable was once a highway floating enough logs which when milled provided enough lumber to reach the moon if placed end to end. Today it is the state’s most canoed waterway. Most paddlers begin on the river’s main stream in Grayling, named for the fish once native to the river and headquarters for at least eight liveries offering trips from two hours to seven days. Another livery is located upstream near Frederic. The most popular trip is a fourhour float from Grayling to Stephan Bridge. The river flows gently on this route, taking canoeists past small brown and brook trout darting through the clear water. This stretch is heavily canoed and paddlers might want to put in at Wakeley Bridge further east, canoeing to McMasters Bridge. It’s a smooth, three-hour float past stumps of once-giant pines Banana Coffee Shake For something unusual and delicious try this tasty banana co ee sae. coffee shake. It'ss coo cool an and reres refreshing ng an and for orco coffee ee lovers, overs, thee banana coffee shake is perfect for the hot humid days ahead.

Further downstream, canoeists can rent craft at Luzerne, McKinley, Glennie, Oscoda and also at Mio, a former lumberjack supply center and now site of the annual Forestry Exposition each July. Paddlers also can see Mio’s Bicentennial amphitheater project being built on Mio Dam pond. Those tackling the entire river should plan on at least a week’s travel from Grayling to Oscoda with portages at six dams. Camping is available at numerous private and publicly owned parks, including one on an island in Cooke Dam Pond near Oscoda. Designated Consumers Power Co. land is also available for campers. The entire route, which takes canoeists past the famous Lumbermen’s Monument near Oscoda, is traced each summer during the Au Sable River Canoe Race, part of Grayling’s July Milltown Festival. Most trips down the river’s famous South Branch start in Roscommon. Daylong floats from liveries there through the spectacular Mason Wilderness Tract are especially beautiful in fall or winter. The Rifle, formed by several small creeks converging near Rose City, is good for young paddlers. It is dam-free with few rapids and a depth of 14 to 18 inches. It also was used for logging in the 1800s, but not as extensively as the Au Sable. After the timber played out, land was sold for farming, but most of the riverbank is again shaded by foliage. Canoeing the 103 miles from White Ash Bridge near Rose City to Omer takes three days. Only one state campground is available and few liveries offer riverbank campsites. Most paddlers spend overnight on state land or ask private landowners for permission to camp. Rifle River Trips from one to three hours are most popular, with routes from Selkirk Road to M-55 and from White Ash Bridge to M-55 lasting 75 minutes and four hours, repectively. The current is moderate with no rapids, but in late summer watch for boulders. There are liveries at Rose City and near West Branch, Sterling and Omer. Two years before Michigan was a state, pioneers first saw the Thunder Bay River’s stands of white pine. In 1859, the first of 20 sawmills along its banks was built at Alpena, and for 40 years, All notices should be delivered to Carl’s by Wednesday evening in order to be printed in the following issue of the Maple Valley News.

Once at Alpena, larger logs were chained to form immense rafts for trips to mills as far away as New York. Each raft had enough wood to build an eight­ foot-wide boardwalk from Oscoda to Detroit. Canoeists start from liveries in Atlanta and at the M-43 Bridge, or at the river’s headwarters at Lake Fifteen. There, the river is shallow and moderately fast, with fair numbers of trout Dams at Atlanta and Hillman slow its course, but near Long Is your child in school*and Still Wetting the Bed? •Any grade...Kindergarten through College.

At Grandville, Matt Owne 55 lbs., worked very hard, but did not place. My fire was even worse than I realized last week. The adjusters came Monday and as all the kitchen cupboard had to be junked, the afternoon job was to take anything out I wanted to save — rest to be discarded. My daughter and son-in-law, John and Mary Rodriguez helped me, but how can you decide in such a short time. But next morning at 8:00 a.m. the Weston Construction Company of Lansing came with a big truck to do the work. They took not only the cupboards, refrigerator, but my new kitchen carpet hardly three years old. Also the cleaners came for my new drapes, bedspreads, rugs, blankets, etc., that had to be dry cleaned.. Wednesday through Friday were spent in washing walls upstairs as well as down as everything is smoke damaged. I will have to have new cupboards, kitchen carpet, light fixtures,, paint and wallpaper on almost all downstairs walls. But perhaps I am lucky in some ways, the firemen said they never could have saved the house if I had had wooden cupboards instead of metal. It certainly will take quite a while to make it liveable again. Mr. and Mrs. David Hamilton and children, Brian, Kim and Jan have bought the'apartment house from Leroy and Iris Wion.

Mr. Hale was the assistant band director during the 1975-76 school year. It was the decision of the board of education not to employ an assistant band director this coming school year. The board members accepted the low bid of Ashley Dairy Inc. for white and chocolate milk with the present cost of white milk per >/2 pint carton being .0883 and chocolate milk .0953. The bid quotation from Kent Oil Company for gasoline at the tank wagon price less one percent was also accepted by the board of education. The board members accepted the bid submitted by Emmanuel Baptist Church (Midwestern Baptist College) from Pontiac for the three 1968 used busses and one 1969 bus at a total bid amount of $7,609. Approval was given the guidelines as set by the state department of education relative to free and reduced price lunches plus free milk. Again this school year the decision relative to granting free or reduced priced lunches will be made by the building principal with any appeals going to the superintendent. The cost of lunches will remain the same as at the end of the past school year with elementary lunches being 40c, Jr.-Sr. high school lunches 45c, milk alone for students 5c, adult lunches 65c, milk alone for adults 12c, and reduced price lunches to students 20c. The school lunch program will begin the first day of school on August 30 th.

Box A Nashville, Michigan (Phone, Hastings — 945-9554) Volume 103, Number 14 - Wednesday August 18,1976 Maple Valley football practice begins— Antique autos add to the nostalgia of Charlton Park last weekend Over 5,000 people visited Charlton Park Sunday for the Antique Auto Show sponsored by the Battle Creek chapter of the Veteran Motor Car Club of America. There were over 200 cars exhibimed, coming from throughout Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. Among the cars displayed were a restored 1909 Cadillac, a 1920 Pierce Arrow, a 1927 Buick, a 1935 Aubrun, and the famous 1930 front drive Cord. In addition to the autos, there was a flea market where all kinds of furniture, toys, artifacts, tools, glassware and much more was available. There were over 100 of these tables. This year’s show was the biggest ever. Over 4,000 people attended the event last year. ~ PAID The Maple Valley Football team is ready to begin another season. The players are anxious to begin work on improving last year’s 2nd place finish in the league at both the varsity and junior varsity levels. The team’s strength, as always, lies in its returning lettermen of which we are blessed with eleven this year led by two year varsity letterman Pat Powers. Other returning lettermen are: George Owen, Don Kickey, Don Rugg, Jody Hartwell, Brian Mitchell, Les Murphy, Tim Curtis, Bruce Emmons, Dan Rice, and Don Harp. Seventeen players from last year’s 7-2 JV team have signed up to play varsity ball this year. The nucleus of last year’s outstanding junior varsity team is comprised of: Doug Hansbarger, Pete Benton, Mike Yost, Kirby Wilmore, Jim Hom, Scott Decker, Jeff Slocum, Randy Vessecchia, Chuck Reid, Tim Burd, Marty Dawson, Mike Hamilton, Robin Pendell, Andy Phenix, Mike Burrill, Steve Burger, and Kevin Wiser. Three former football players will be out for the team this year after taking a year off. The Coaching staff is very happy to have Tony Beals, Dan Cook and Paul Friddle back in the program. Playing football for the first time at Maple Valley will be: Larry Beals, Bruce Fuller, Darren Ayles, Todd Ackley, Gary Hamilton, Ross Furlong, Jeff Zemke, and Randy Snow. These players will be molded into a fighting unit by the varsity coaches Dan Watson, Chris Ricketts and Steve MacDonald. Junior Varsity coaches will be Mel Ruohonen, Guenther Mittelstaedt, and Newcomer Joe Brogan. League competition should be led by perennial champs Portland and Lakeview. Lakeview will have 27 seniors with four years of high school football experience; by far the most number of seniors our league has ever seen. Portland, as always, will feature size and speed, speed, speed. Saranac will have the advantage of playing all eligible high school players since they will have no JV team this year. Central Montcalm will have the largest line in the league with several 200 plus pounders. Montabella gathered more all conference medals than any team except Portland last year and has most of them returning. Carson City at present has no athletics and will apparently not field a team. Non-conference opponents will again be led by perrennial powerhouses Caledonia and Middleville of the O-K Blue conference. Maple Valley begins its season with a scrimmage against Portland St. Pats at Fuller Street School on Saturday, September 11 at 7:00 p.m. This will hopefully be the beginning of a vintage year for the mighty lions. Any ninth through twelfth grader who has not previously signed up for the Maple Valley football team may do so by calling any football coach or by showing up at practice any day. Practices August 23-25 will be at 8:00 a.m. at the high school. August 27th practice will be held at 4:00 p.m. The coaches at Maple Valley High School ask all eligible boys to participate in the football program. A high school athlete has four chances to participate and a chance once lost is gone forever. <®>Read this weeks feature found on page 2 �The Maple Valley News Nashville, Michigan. Wednesday, August 18, 1976 - Page 2 Making hobbies a way oflife— Jane and Jerry Shoup display a couple of Mr. Shoup's penknife portraits and show his miniature steam engines on the coffee table. (Maple Valley News Photo) Most people have hobbies that occupy them during their spare time For men it may be bowling, golf, or racing. For ladies it may or be sewing , macrame, macrame or gardening. But for Jerry and Jane Shoup of Nashville, it’s not just a pastime, it’s more a way of life.. Mr. Shoup can devote more time to his hobbies since he retired two years ago. He worked iin Industrial Engineering at Clark Equipment in Battle Creek for 27 years. . “It’s wonderful if a man has something to after something do retirement," said Shoup. “If he doesn’t, he’ll just waste away." Woodcarving was one of Shoup’s first hobbies, which he started doing when he was 18 years old to entertain his cousins from Battle Creek when they visited. Shoup now carves decorative eagles, chains, (dyers, statues (miniature and life size), and many other items. A jacknife and small chisel are his only tools and each of his projects are made from a single piece of wood. Hee uses either bass wood, white wood, or pine for his creations. Shoup’s latest projects are his life-like pen-knife portraits, that appear three dementional. Shoup recently carved his son and daughter gifts for their wooden wedding anniversaries. Shoup’s favorite hobby is making workable miniature steam engines, that he started doing when he was in the Navy during World War II. “I make these from scratch, there are no kits or anything,” he said. “I’m always pestering the Hastings junk yard for brass, iron, aluminum or other metals I need. Shoup put one engine in a miniature steam boat that he said had enough power to pull him and his rowboat through the water. He also made a miniature cannon that can actually fire. It takes him several hours a day for about 30 days to complete one of his engines. Shoup bought a full size 15 h.p. steam engine that was made in Nashville many years ago. While her husband is busy with his hobbies, Jane Shoup paints colorful hex signs, that she has beendoing since she received a book on the subject (as a gift) ten years ago. The signs originated centuries ago in Germany and the Pennsylvania Dutch brought them to America. These people used to put them on their barns to keep evil spirits away, but now they are primarily used for Sentence your money to a few months' hard labor.

Nashville. Michigm. Wednesday. August 18, 1976 — Page 3 decoration. “Many people think these signs originated with the Amish, but that’s not so,’’ said Mrs. Shoup. The signs are usually circular, with symbols depicting various meanings. A two-headed bird signified strength and marriage; three leaf tulips meant faith, hope, and charity; hearts symboled love and romance; stars meant good luck and warded off lightening; an unbroken circle symbolized eternal life; and so on. “The Pennsylvania Dutch often put symbols of horses on their barns for the health and fertility of their horses,” said Mrs. Shoup. “The signs have even been put on dog kennels for the dogs’ protection.” Mrs. Shoup makes up templates of the various symbols and traces them onto sheets of tempered masonite. She uses three coats of underpaint, one layer of paint for the design, and three coats of acrylic varnish for each of her signs. She always uses acrylics because they dry fast and can withstand the outdoor weather. “The signs add an individuality to a barn or garage,” said Mrs. Shoup. “I never make an exact duplicate of a sign ” People from all over the country and some foreign countries own her signs. She makes 8 inch signs, and two and four foot signs. She once even made a seven foot sign with a horse symbol. The Shoups have been on television programs with their hobbies, and Mr. Shoup demonstrates at various functions. Both show their work at several Arts and Crafts shows. The Shoups also have other hobbies such as collecting old bottles, antiques, and playing musical instruments. They have also raised three children, David, Steven and Marilyn. Obviously, the Shoups are very active people and with their many hobbies, there is little time for idelness — for them, hobbies are truly a way of life. Jane Shoup has been painting hex signs for 10 years.

CHOWS �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, August 18,1976 - Page 6 25,000 expected to walk over Mackinac Bridge Labor Day The Bicentennial Bridge Walk - better known as the 19th Annual Labor Day Morning Mackinac Bridge Walk - is scheduled for Monday, September 6, at 7:30 a.m. As they have for the past seven years, the Governor and Mrs. William Milliken will lead from 20,000 to 25,000 persons in what has come to be known as the “world’s greatest walking event” over the Straits of Mackinac from St. Ignace to Mackinaw City. In recognition of the nation’s bicentennial, the Veterans of Foreign Wars state color guard, led by their commander, Cecil McGoon, will also be at the starting line. This is the only time of the year that pedestrians are permitted on the Mackinac Bridge. The 146th Military Police Battalion under the command of Lt. Col. Charles R. Ferguson will provide traffic control along with the local city, county and state police and Mackinac Bridge personnel. The National Guard will be stationed along the Bridge to assure the safety of Bridge walkers and the smooth movement of Bridge traffic. Bridge walkers are urged to make their own arrangements for arriving at the starting line, the Fare Plaza on the north side of the Bridge. Buses from Mackinaw City will be available, but past experience indicates that the long lines of persons waiting for passage may result in as much as two hours delay. The fare is 50c. Bridge officials suggest driving a carload of Bridge walkers across the Bridge to the starting line and leaving the car at the Fare Plaza parking lot; then returning after the Bridge walk when the buses are not crowded to pick up the car. No one will be permitted to start the walk after 10:00 a.m. The walkers occupy the two east lanes of the Bridge, while north and south bound traffic share the two west lanes of the Bridge. At approximately 10:00 a.m. northbound traffic will use the inside lane on the east side and walkers will be squeezed into the outside lane. This procedure is necessary in order to avoid long lineups and delay of cars southbound on Labor Day morning. Bridge officials also point out that there are no relief stations on the Fare Plaza or on the Bridge and that Bridge walkers should take this into consideration prior to commencing the one or two hour trek. Troop No. 127, Hiawathaland Council of Boy Scouts will be distributing numbered certificates to all walkers completing the trek attesting to same. Prizes valued at more than $1500 are keyed to the numbers on each certificate and awarded to lucky winners by the merchants and Chamber of Commerce of Mackinaw City. Preceding the general Bridge walk there will be novice races conducted by the International Walkers Association, which sponsored the firstBridge walk in 1958. These races commence at 7:15 a.m. Trophies will be awarded to four classifications: men and women, boys and girls. Registration is necessary to participate in this event. Persons interested may sign up at the Bridge Plaza (north side) prior to the commencement of these races; or they may write to the International Walkers Association, 569 Cornell Avenue, East Lansing, Michigan 48823. Registration fee is 50c. Marching bands, boy scout troops and community promotion groups are encouraged to participate in the Bridge walk. However, running, jogging, roller skating and any locomotion other then walking are prohibited during the general bridge walk. Since this is an election year, it is expected that there will be considerable campaign hoopla and old fashioned political parading to entertain and attract Bridge walkers to the candidates for public office. Pom-pom girls, imitation donkeys and elephants, campaign buttons, bumper stickers and promotional handouts by the millions will be in evidence. How much change does ourAmerican Economic System need: A lot? A little? None?

Vermontville Hardware 131 South Main Vermontville major routes traveled by Indians and explorers long before the American Revolution.) The Kalamazoo and the Paw Paw rivers offer canoeists good fishing, easy paddling and excellent sightseeing in some of the most picturesque wilderness areas of West Michigan, according to the Automobile Club of Michigan. Both rivers got their names from the Potawatomi Indians who roamed their banks hundreds f years ago. Paw Paw was the Indian name for the trees that still grow along the river. Kee-Kalamazoo, meaning “where the water boils in the pot,” was applied to that river by Indians who noticed the whirling motion of the stream’s eddies. The name also was given- to a trading post established on the riverbank in 1823, but six years later, the area’s first permanent settler, Titus Bronson, renamed the post in his own honor. The Indian name was adopted again in 1836 by termperanceadvocating townsfolk who were angered by Bronson’s love of liquor, but they shortened it to Kalamazoo. The Paw Paw’s East Branch begins at Little Paw Paw Lake in Kalamazoo County while the West Branch starts in Van Buren County. The two branches meet in Maple Lake in Paw Paw and travel north until joining the North Branch, which has its start in Van Buren County’s Wolf Lake. The river’s main branch then proceeds westward through MAPLE VALLEY SLOW PITCH TOURNAMENT AUGUST 20 - 21 - 22 Van Buren and Berrien counties until it flows into the St. Joseph River just short of Lake Michigan. While almost all of the Paw Paw is canoeable, the stretch recommended for canoeing begins in Van Buren County at County Road 681 midway between Hartford and Lawrence. Some 40 miles and two to three days of paddling later, the Paw Paw flows into the St. Joseph River at Benton Harbor-St. Joseph. The river winds its way through mostly private land densely wooded and teeming with deer, muskrat, ducks and other waterfowl. Between Watervliet and Benton Harbor, the Paw Paw traverses the Sarett Nature Center, a favorite stopping spot for migratory waterfowl in spring and fall. It is a nice, easy stream that touches only one big city Benton Harbor - and has only two dams, one at Paw Paw and the other at Watervliet. Both the East and West branches of the Paw Paw are rated good trout streams. The main branch from Paw Paw downstream to the Watervliet Dam produces good catches of pike, bass, panfish and suckers. Some steelhead and salmon can be caught just below the dam. Canoes can be rented at Gardner’s Marina in Benton Harbor or at the Paw Paw River Campground near Watervliet. The Kalamazoo River is at least twice the length of the Paw Paw. Its South Branch begins in a Hillsdale County swamp while the North Branch starts at Farwell Lake in Jackson County. The two branches meet at Albion in Calhoun County, where the main branch proceeds westward to Kalamazoo County, through Allegan County and finally to Lake Michigan. Although the Kalamazoo has many portages -- there are 18 dams between its headwaters and its mouth near Saugatuck the river is considered manageable by an average canoeist The Kalamazoo River Canoe Trail covers 80 miles through Calhoun, Kalamazoo, and Allegan counties and takes five to six days. The trail starts at Homer, south of Albion, and ends where the river meets Lake Michigan. Probably the most attractive portion of the trail starts at Echo Point, two miles northwest of Allegan on Monroe Road. Canoeists have three miles of Lake Allegan to paddle before they must take out east of the Allegan Dam for a portage to a put-in site below the dam. The next stretch of the journey is through the Swan Creek Wildlife Refuge, a spring and fall resting place for thousands of ducks and Canada geese. During migration, the sky is almost dark with waterfowl. After the M-89 Bridge, there is a seven-mile stretch of open stream, including a site for camping in the Allegan State Game Area just below the bridge. From the bridge to New Richmond, the river glides through four miles of the Ottawa Marsh, another prime resting place for migratory waterfowl. After that, the river widens considerably as it traverses the Pottawatomie Marsh. Most of the riverbank along this last stretch is private hunting land where canoeists again are treated to glimpses of waterfowl. The Kalamazoo runs through nearly two dozen cities including highly industrialized Battle Creek - Cereal Capital of the World - and Kalamazoo - of paper mill and pharmaceutical fame. In almost every one of these communities there is a riverfront park or picnic area. Canoes can be rented at the Shady Bend Camp Ground near Augusta and at Gleason’s Marina at Saugatuck. There is good pike and bass fishing in the Morrow Pond area between Galesburg and Augusta. From the Allegan Dam downstream to Saugatuck, anglers can expect good catches of pike, brown trout, largemouth bass, panfish, steelhead and salmon. Both the Kalamazoo and the Paw Paw are under study by the Department of Natural Resources for possible inclusion in Michigan’s Natural Rivers Program. &M...

The grant was made possible by federal funds and must be matched by local dollars. An additional grant for equipment purchase will be awarded at a later date. The Intermediate Board of Education has called for an election oh September 28, 1976, asking for voter approval of - .4 (4/10) Mill for 15 years for construction. - .9 (9/10) mills to operate the new center. If the millage vote is successful the new vocational center will serve over 1,000 high school students yearly. In 1972 a county-wide citizens advisory committee recommended that Eaton County construct an area vocational center, but was unable to obtain state approval. As a temporary measure the voters in Eaton County passed a one mill proposal which allowed the Intermediate board to contract with other school districts for vocational programs. Since 1973 over 1500 studentshave been bussed 300,000 miles to classes in Ingham County to obtain job related training. Construction of a vocational center in Eaton County would - reduce busing by 60 percent each year. ■— expand the number of programs available. - increase class time by 25 percent. - serve far more students than the present system. Bus travel for Maple Valley students will be cut by nearly two-thirds if a center is built in Eaton County. All students will be able to use regular school bus runs in traveling to the high school for busing to the center. Time now spent in travel can be spent in additional classroom time.

Some had not been together since graduation, so there was much reminiscing and sharing of favorite snapshots and school pictures. Two special guests were Mrs. Margaret (Schram) Erwin, a member of the class now living in Houston, Texas, and Mrs. Evelyn VanBlarcom Waterman of Battle Creek. Mrs. Waterman was a business teacher back in 1925-26. The original tortoni is an Italian ice cream, named after Tortoni, whose cafe flourished in Paris at the end of the 18th century and who is credited with having brought ice-cream made with cream and fruit to that city. Being that coffee is so versatile, here is a delightful dessert that is certain to please everyone. The following is the recipe as developed in the Nestle Test Kitchens. 1 egg white Vt cup sugar l|/2 teaspoons Nescafe 1 teaspoon vanilla extract % teaspoon salt % teaspoon almond extract 2 tablespoons sugar Vi cup slivered almonds, 1 cup heavy cream toasted In small bowl, combine egg white, Nescafe and salt; beat until foamy.

PITCH IN TO FIGHT CYSTIC FIBROSIS Jim Palmer, ace pitching star for the Baltimore Orioles, gives a few pitching hints to Michigan Cystic Fibrosis Poster Child, Joshua Houck of Saginaw. Palmer is National Sports Chairman for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and has been very active for a number of years in the effort to conquer children’s lung disease, particularly CF for which there is neither a cure nor control. During September, which is Cystic Fibrosis Month nationwide, Michigan residents will have the opportunity themselves to join the fight against children’s lung disease by contributing to their local Breath of Life campaign.

The wife, lacking a good educa­ tion or employable skill, such as typing or bookkeeping, finds it impossible to properly sup­ port her family. The most important insurance for both husband and wife is a good edu­ cation and training in a skill that assures profitable employ­ ment.

More than 300 high school students from Michigan, including Anne Boughton, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Boughton of 440 Durkee, Nashville, and students from five other states as far away as Hawaii and Connecticut made beautiful music in this year’s Summer Youth Music Program, June 27 through July 24. Two sessions offered intensive study in band, orchestra, or choral music. These outstanding high school musicians work with students from other areas and receive private instruction from members of the MSU music department faculty. During their two week stay at MSU, students live in a residence hall and share the life on the MSU campus. Performance is also an important part of the student’s learning experience. Both groups gave several recitals and concerts on campus and in the local community. FOR SALE: 1974 Ford, 4 wheel drive, % ton pickup, 4 new tires and rims, new battery, 28,000 miles, good condition.

Luckily, it wasn't. Most people are lucky. Most people never have cancer. But those who find they do have cancer are far better off if their cancer is discovered early. Because we know how to cure many cancers when we discover them early. That's why I want you to have a checkup. And keep having checkups. The rest ofyour life. It'll be a lot longer ifyou do. y.

DRY CLEANING between Croswell and Port Huron. The starting point for a two-day trip is Croswell, known as the “Garden Spot of the Thumb” because of the surrounding rich farmland. The town’s unique feature is a swinging footbridge, named “Be Good to Your Mother­ in-Law,” which crosses the Black at Maple Street. The city park below the dam has a launch site for beginning the journey. South of Croswell, farm country dominates the river’s path until entering the Port Huron Game Area. Here canoeists will see deer, beaver and waterfowl. Other Black River access points are located near Blaine at the edge of the game area and at the 1-94 bridge near Port Huron. Portaging is necessary at Ford’s Dam, the old mill dam at Wadhams and at places where trees obstruct the riverbed or gravel has built up in mid­ summer. Riverside- Marina in Port Huron rents canoes for short trips in which canoeists will mingle with sailors and boaters on the Black River as they pass beautiful riverside homes and large marinas. A daylong trip takes in portions of the Port Huron Game Area and a scenic area north of Ruby called Beard’s Hill. Mill Creek, which meets the Black at Ruby, is definitely for the backwoods adventurer. The river has not been charted for canoeing, but experienced paddlers can traverse the section that runs from Yale to Ruby.

Gas taxes go up, road improvements down now in Michigan Michigan’s county and municipal road administrators have been dismayed to learn that while gasoline tax revenues are going up, funds for improvement and maintenance of local roads and streets are below a year ago. State motor fuel tax revenues for the April-June quarter were up 5.6 percent but the distribution of funds to the state, counties, and cities dropped 6.1 percent compared with the same quarter in 1975. Funds disbursed to state and local highway agencies in the April-June quarter this year totaled $116.5 million compared with $124.1 million a year ago. The Michigan Department of State Highways and Transportation had earlier erred Coffee Gelatin Parfait Coffee has become more popular as a convenience beverage especially with the flavorful taste of the instant freeze-dried. It has become an all-time favorite flavoring for desserts such as pies, cakes and other delicacies. For a change of pace try this delicious easy-to-make coffee gelatin parfait. It’s light and can be made in advance and refrigerated until dessert time.

Chill in refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight.. When pan of gelatin is almost , ready, chill reserved gelatin mixture until slightly thickened (about 20-25 minutes); beat in sour cream and set aside. Remove pan of gelatin from refrigerator: wrap warm cloth around pan to loosen gelatin. Cut gelatin into W’-W' cubes. Place half of cubes into bottoms of 4 parfait glasses. Equally pour sour cream-gelatin mixture into glasses. Top with remaining cubes of gelatin. Chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving. Makes 4 servings. in announcing that the quarterly disbursements were higher. The drop in revenues divided among the state and local road departments results in part from a $950,000 increase in the cost of collecting gas and weight taxes during the three-month quarter. It cost the state $5.1 million to' collect highway and transportation taxes between April and June, as compared with only $4.2 million in the quarterly period last year. These fees go to the Departments of State and Treasury off the top of motor vehicle highway fund revenues. For the 12-month period ending June 30, total motor fuel tax revenues were up 2.3 percent and vehicle license fee collections were up 3.5 percent, but the money available for road and street improvement went up onoy one-tenth of one percent. The difference is partly explained because state officials have withheld distribution of interest earned on motor vehicle fund revenues. highway fund revenues. money is Normally this money distributed to state, county, and municipal units after June 30 but this year the state extended its fiscal year to September 30. As a result of this delayed payment, highway agencies will not share in any interest gained until after September 30, too late to be of use during the current construction season. Last year the earned interest amounted to $9.8 million. No estimate has been made for this year’s earnings which will cover a 15-month rather than a 12­ month period.

This will give you a view of your son thay may surprise you! All parents have this opportunity open to them, this is your chance to take advantage of it. The time involved varies, one night a week for den meetings, one night a month for Pack Meeting and one for committee meetings. Each of these meetings lasts about one hour. Den Leaders plan their meetings to include a craft, game, instructions on Scout routine and a snack and clean-up time. Pack meetings include the presentation of badges and awards, announcements, displays of the things each den has been working on, a group game, and refreshments. The committee meets to plan the next pack meeting, field trips, selling projects, financial business and public relations. In a small community, as ours is, it is important to provide our youngsters with something healthy and constructive to occupy their spare time. Scouting cannot turn a boy into something he is not, but it can encourage him to explore the natural world around him and spend his time enjoying and improving what he finds. If you would like to become a scout leader or serve as a committee member but feel you need more information, come down to the Scout Hall the 16th at 7:00 p.m. or call Cubmaster Ken Meade at 852-9196, former den leader and new den leader coach Sally Peake at 852-0742, or secretary Sharon Bishop at 852­ 0716.

Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, September 15,1976 - Page 4 Prayer campaign starts in area September 17, 'plan to pray' “It's time to pray, America,” a dramatic plan to mobilize the nation in prayer for 40 days between the weekend of Sept. 17 and Nov. 2, is fast taking shape across the country. President Ford and Jimmy Carter, plus Billy Graham, Johnny Cash, and Pat Robertson are among the key figures of the prayer campaign. Pastors from across the nation from virtually all denominations will be leading their congregations in prayer for moral and ethical leadership in government, education, the media, business, the professions, church and family life. What the program seeks is a renewal of America’s national commitment as “one nation under God,” and a shift away from current trends toward moral decay, according to a spokesman for the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), which is sponsoring the campaign. The plan was conceived by the Rev. M.G. “Pat” Robertson, host of CBN’s nationally televised “700 Club” program. Robertson’s organization has invited 200 thousand American ministers, priests and rabbis to lead their congregations in prayer for America in each of the seven weekends between September 17 and the time America goes to the polls. This week the National Conference of Christians and Jews added its endorsement to the “It’s time to pray, America” campaign. The major starting event for the prayer campaign will be a television special bearing the “It’s Time To Pray, America,” title. It is due to air on 217 television stations, mostly at 8 p.m. on Friday, September 17. Additionally the mutual broadcasting systems and several independent radio networks will be carrying the broadcast the following evening, Saturday, September 18, at 10 p.m. Eastern time. The TV and radio special features President Ford, Jimmy Carter, Billy Graham, Pat Boone. Tom Landry, David Wilkerson, Terence Cardinal Cook, Olympic athletes Jum Ryun and Janet Lynn. Even Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin will make a brief, prerecorded appearance in the program calling Americans to prayer for the future of their nation. In a letter to churches, program host Pat Robertson said he was asking the nation’s religious leaders to lead their congregations “in earnest prayer for their personal concerns for America” each week. ““Together, Together, as concerned Americans,” said Robertson, “we know that God is our one true hope for our future as a nation as we begin our third century.” New members of 500 mile club awarded Six new members joined the Maple Valley 500 Mile Club this week and were awarded their 500 Mile shirts. The Shaw family supplied four members - Kathy, Dione, Chris, and their mother Artha. Nancy Brady and Kelly Christopher also joined the club this week. All club members must cover the 500 miles during a 3-month time period. Cross country team open’s new season The Maple Valley Cross Country Team had a busy opening week.. On Tuesday, the Lions travelled to Delton and competed against Delton and Caledonia in a double dual meet. The Lions were defeated by identical scores of 19-38 by two fine teams. Doug Halsy finished first for Maple Valley and seventh over-all with a time of 17:22. On Friday the team was on the road again traveling to Middleville. The Lions lost to a strong Middleville team 19 to 40. Doug Halsey and Chuck Beachnau both finished the race in under 17 minutes. Brian Coffman was the most improved runner this week.

The motion carried, and the council said they would review the landfill situation at that time and would then discuss what would be done in the future. They also discussed the possibility of a gate charge and have the landfill open more often. Councilwoman Ruth Hughes brought up the stray dog problem in Nashville, and inquired what could be done to alleviate the problem. The council said that the Michigan State Dog Law required that all dogs must be under control and restrained. He added that should anyone have a stray dog complaint the Barry County Dog Warden was on call 24 hours a day and would respond to calls at any time. It was mentioned that many dogs do not even have collars or licenses. Roger Gardner, owner of South End Food and Beverage, asked the council if commercial businesses could have the same garbage pickup service as the village residents. He said he now pays outrageous prices for his service. President George Frith said he would contact the garbage contract bidders and would discuss the commercial rates with them. 10,000 expected to attend Michigan Corn-Sugar-Beet Expo If you’re interested in farm machinery, cropping and tillage practices, don’t miss the largest show of its kind ever held in Michigan. The Michigan Corn-Sugar Beet Expo '76 on Oct. 5 and 6 near Caro, culminates a year's effort by local farmers and Bill Bortel, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension director in Tuscola County. “Our primary intent provides all producers (cash crop, dairy and vegetable farmers), practical, take-home education in the latest harvesting and land tillage techniques. Our second goal is to provide the nonfarmer a better understanding of the costs and complexity of today’s agriculture production p in Michigan,” Bortel says. Toward that end, Bortel and his committee have signed enough contracts with manufacturers to fill a 40-acre tract with farm machinery. “We literally have equipment coming to Michigan from throughout the U.S. - as far away as Texas and Idaho,” Bortel says. What all this equipment is going to do is harvest 120 acres of Thursday, Sept. 23 com, 80 acres ofsugar beets, then Tomato soup, grilled cheese turn around and plow all 200 sandwich, pears, milk. acres. “In the process, we want to demonstrate new management Friday, Sept. 24 practices in corn and sugar beet Pizza buns, corn, peaches, milk.. production along with energy conservation in land tillage,” Bortel says.

Maple Valley students learn hunting safety Sixty-six Maple Valley students including six girls, between the ages of 11-16 completed a hunter’s safety course last week that was offered through the Maple Valley school system. Keith Greenwald and Harold Pufpaff were the instructors. The young hunters learned general hunting safety, how to handle a gun, be a good sportsman, and to show respect for other hunters’ rights. The students were required to Harold Pufpaff offers close instruction to Tom Peake at the Moose Lodge Shooting Range, where many of the hunting safety students handled and gun for the first time. (Maple Valley News Photo) take a final written exam in order to pass the course and receive a hunting safety certificate. The certificate is now a prerequisite for young hunters to obtain a hunting license. Until 17, they must hunt with a guardian. For the last day of classes the students were taken to the Moose Lodge shooting range where they got actual experience handling a gun. The shotgun shells were donated by South End Food and Beverage. Gordon Gardner takes careful aim. �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, September 15,1976 Page 10 Michigan salmon planting program a success The more than two million coho and chinook salmon now schooling off 34 Michigan rivers and lakes and ample evidence of the amazing success of Michigan’s 10-year-old salmon planting program, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. “When the firstof850,000 young coho salmon were planted in Lake Michigan in 1966, no one even dreamed of the crowds of fishermen and tourists they’d attract.” stated Joseph Ratke, Auto Club touring manager. This year, an army of anglers approaching a half-million from across the continent will take home about 1.2 million of the silvery coho and chinook, which soon will start spawning runs into rivers and lakes listed on AutO Club's 1976 salmon guide. Peak runs should occur from mid­ September to mid-October. Coho up to 25 pounds and chinook averaging 30 pounds will appear at five more sites than last year. Three streams along Lake Huron, plus one in Lake Michigan, will receive their first runs of mature coho or chinook. The first run of spawning chinook also is expected in the Detroit River near Belle Isle, Auto Club stated. “This fall might decide if the Detroit River can become a major salmon fishing ground. Chinook jacks were in the river last fall, but angler success was minimal,” said Ratke. “This year, experts hope that a substantial run near Belle Isle will develop.” The most improved fishing, however, is expected along Lake Huron’s shoreline, where 50 percent more salmon than last year — mostly chinook — are waiting for anglers. The biggest increase of mature fish is expected oil the Au Sable River near Oscoda, where returns from more than 400,000 chinook planted in 1973 and 150,000 coho salmon planted in 1975 already are schooling for runs to Foote Dam. This year, anglers fishing the half-mile stretch from the dam to Rea Road from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31 also are permitted to keep foulhooked Pacific salmon under the state Department of Natural Resources rules. Anglers are restricted to use of since 1971 and is ripe for unweighted double or treble breaking,” said Ratke. “The hooks no more than three-eights record 44-pound, two-ounce inch from point to shank or single chinook caught last year in the St hooks no more than one-half inch Joseph River could fall just as from point to shank.

Main St,Vermontville Ph.726-0569 �4-H to may start pigeon program in area A pigeon race was one of the popular features at 4-H Exploration Days, held recently at Michigan State University, according to Dick Hill, Extension 4-H Agent, Barry County. From around the state, almost four hundred racing and homing pigeons were taken to the M.S.U. Stadium and released at different intervals. They came from Presque County,. Flint, Grand Rapids, Muskegon and other places. Racing Pigeons could be an exciting new 4-H project for Barry County if there is enough interest It would be easy to establish relationships with other 4-H chibs around the nation for joint ventures. Such a project could add a new dimension and some additional excitement at the Barry County Fair if pigeons shipped from 4-H members in other parts of the country were released in front of the grandstand during the Fair, Hill adds. All who watched them fly away would be watching for news of when they arrived back home, where ever that might be. Anyone interested in helping to develop a 4-H program with racing pigeons should contact the Extension Office in Hastings.

The school district will be levying 22.3 mills for operational purposes amounting to $672,794.32 based upon a state equalized valuation of $30,170,149.00. This included the 8.3 mills allocated and 14 extra voted mills. The debt retirement millage was set at .833 mills amounting to $25,034.53. The school district will be receiving state funds in the amount of $48,666 under Section 27 to pay part of the debt principal and interest due this school year. The board members accepted the low bid submitted by State Farm Mutuul Insurance Company for school bus fleet insurance and coverage on other vehicles and tractors. The bid in the amount of $4,427.27 covers the twenty six regular busses, three mini busses, three cars, five pickups, and three tractors. The insurance covers the period October 1, 1976 through September 30, 1977. The annual financial report as prepared by the school auditor was approved for filing with the state Department of Education. The cash balance June 30, 1976 was $256,549 compared with $269,218 on June 30, 1975. Taxes receivable June 30, 1976 were $119,435 compared with $102,208 on June 30,1975. The total general fund equity June 30, 1976 was $403,817 compared with $394,059 as of June 30, 1975 representing mainly the increase in taxes receivable. Representatives of the Bud’sDud’s square dance group were present to discuss their concern over the general charge for the custodian’s wages for working on Saturday night plus a possible $10.00 rental charge for the Kellogg gym. Representatives stated that this group has only a small membership resulting in limited funds to cover any rental costs in addition to paying the custodian for working Saturday flight. The board members agreed to further consider any rental charge and to let the group know if there would be any charge for the use of the gymnasium. Non-teaching contracts were approved for Karla Hale as a teacher aide in the Jr. High resource room, Chris Schantz as custodian at the Jr.-Sr. high school, Marie Fager as teacher aide-playground at Kellogg, Mary Gurd as secretary-aide at the Kellogg Elementary, and Theresa Hull as school nurse. continued page 9 SCOUTS LEARN SAFETY The Vermontville Cub Scouts and Webelos learned safety at the farm of Doug and Judy Gardner last Saturday.

The visitors witnessed many old crafts and skills necessary for survival a century ago. Blacksmithing, carpentry, ropemaking, buzzing, wood sawing corn shelling and and grinding, clothes washing, and milk separating were performed by hand or with the aid of gasoline engines.

Vermontville Public Library News You taay have seen the television advertisement about the new manual by Lyn Taetzsch & Enid Littman called OUT OF WORK - THE COMPLETE JOB HUNTERS GUIDE. This manual is now available at the library. Due to the great demand for service manuals, we have added many new ones to our collection. They are: REFRIGERATION, AIR CONDITIONING, RANGE, AND OVEN SERVICING; HOW TO FIX IT HOME ENTERTAINMENT PRODUCTS; HOW TO FIX IT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS; and HOW TO FIX IT - PLUMBING SYSTEMS. Also available are excellent auto repair manuals, and an unusual book about how to restore old cars. Among the many other new books are: ON MAKING, MENDING, AND DRESSING DOLLS by Clara Fawcett, DEAD RUN by Richard Lockridge, JUDAS FLOWERING by Jane Aiken Hodge, and THE DRESDEN FINCH by Jessica Stirling. Our thanks are extended to Joyce Hummel for her large donation of excellent books. They represent many hours of good reading to the people of the area. We have on the bulletin board in the library copies of the propositions that will be placed on the November ballot, and we urge all who are able to do so to stop in and look these over. They apply to the renewal millage for the library and fire department which, due to lack of understanding, were defeated in the primary a short time ago. AH four of these propositions must pass in order to gain the millage that both organizations need to continue to function. The Vi mill (which is just a renewal of the mill that the library has been getting for 20 years) is the first requirement the state makes in order that we be eligible for state support The % mill is only a small part of the funds needed to operate, but other sources will be cut off as soon as the community withdraws its support so the % mill is vitally needed. Please come in and let us explain these propositions to you. Don’t aUow all of the hard work you have put into the library be swept away because of misunderstanding.

Two key players are running backs Quentin Ward and Ray Holliwell, who scored 14 touchdowns between them last year. “If Holliwell and Ward can stay healthy, we should be tough,” said Ruohonen. “They are both agile, deceptive runners.” The team should be strong on the line with four outstanding two-way linemen returning from last year’s team. David Cook, Dennis Cook, Kevin Kilpatrick, and Bill Maker are the fearsome foursome. The Lions have four outstanding freshmen in Vern Sargent, Jeff Mead, Jeff Hom, and Doug Cook. Steve Augustine and Tom Gurd are fighting for the starting quarterback job, with a slight edge goint to Augustine. The receivers are Don Fox, Rick Nisse, Brad Carpenter, and Jeff Mead. “Our offense will rely on the ground attack mostly until the young receivers learn to run correct pass patterns,” said Ruohonen. “This is something they will learn with experience, but they have lots of potential.” The team’s primary weakness is depth. “If we have injuries, we could be in trouble,” said Ruohonen. “Our philosophy is to keep the opposition deep in their own territory with our specialty teams and “crash” defense. On offense, we like to pull a few tricks and keep the other team off guard.” The Maple Valley varsity football team is a young, inexperienced squad with only eight returning lettermen, but if enthusiasm can win games, the team should take home its share of victories this season. “They’re a very enthusiastic bunch of guys,” said head coach Dan Watson. “They’re the best group of coachable kids we’ve ever had.” Maple Valley has good overall team balance, without any weak spots. Les Murphy and Jim Horn are battling for the No. 1 job at quarterback. Murphy was the starting varsity quarterback last year, while HOrn led the J.V. team to a 7-2 record. “They’re both doing a fine job,” said Watson. “It’s nice to be blessed with two good quarterbacks.” The Lions are also blessed with flock of fine receivers in Pat Powers, an all-conference offensive end last year, Pete Benton, Kirby Wilmore, 6-foot-5, 217 lb. sophomore Andy Joostberns, and Jeff Slocum. “They all have good hands and can catch the ball,” said Watson of his pass catchers. “We plan to employ a passing attack this year.” The ground attack is led by fullback George Owen, Don Harp, and Mike Hamilton. This is Owen’s first year as a running back. Last year he played defensive end. “We have a lot of power in the backfield,” said Watson, “especially in Owens and Harp.” The defense will be particularly inexperienced with only three seniors starting with prior experience. Don Hickey, all-conference defensive end last year, is probably the team’s defensive standout. “He has got to be the toughest guy on the team,” said'Watson. “He is one of the most aggressive players I have ever coached.” Through the first six games last year, the Maple Valley defense held the opposition to an average of only 95 yards a game. The Lions have an excellent kicking game. ‘‘Slocum can really punt the ball, Owen can consistently kick the ball to the 10 yard line on kickoffs, and Kirby Wilmore will probably kick extra points. “Wilmore is the most versatile player on the team,” said Watson. “He can play just about anywhere. "I expect our toughest competition to come from Portland, Lakeview, and Central Montcalm,” Watson continued. “I’d like to see us right in the thick of things, too. I expect it to be a four team battle all the way.” Good Luck Lions �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, Septamber 22, 1976 — Page 6 Cross Country team should improve record Maple Valley cross country season is over,” said Taylor. coach Tom Taylor feels this “Munn and Beardslee have year’s team will improve its 2-10 already improved from last year.

September 22,1976 - Page 6 ColorTour Michigan in Autumn Spectacular views of Michigan’s forests in vivid fall colors await travelers who bop on a boat or a train, paddle a canoe or peddle a bike, jump into the family jalopy or just hike along a woodland path, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. Of the many ways to see the vivid hues of Michigan’s woods in autumn, one of the most interesting is from the deck of a boat cruising Lake 'Superior. Starting Sept. 21 and continuing into October, the Pictured Rocks Cruises at Munising runs daily three-hour, narrated fall color trips along the rocky shores of Upper Michigan. The boats travel 17% miles along the world famous Pictured Rocks — a colorful expanse of forest-topped rocks that can be seen only from the water. The picturesque rock formations.and the brilliant colors of surrounding autumn leaves provide 'breathtaking views when seen against a backdrop of blue water and sky. Cruises are subject to the weather. Combine a boat ride with a train trip on two U.P. fall color Hair Dryers-Curling Irons tours centered around the Tahquamenon Ralls - second largest waterfall east of the Mississippi River. Starting at Soo Junction off M­ 28, the Toonerville Trolley - an authentic narrow-guage railroad - takes passengers six miles through wilderness to Hunter’s Mill, where they debark and board the Hiawatha Riverboat for a 21-mile trip down the Tahquamenon River to just above the rapids. From there, it’s a half-mile hike to view the upper falls. The whole trip takes 6% hours and is offer once daily at 10:30 a.m. from now until Oct 6. The Riverboat and Timber Train Ride, based at Slater’s Landing 10 miles north of Hulbert off M-28, reverses the order of the trip to the falls and is a shorter journey — 4% hours. Passengers first board the Diantha Hulbert for a 17-mile trip on the river. Next is a two-mile ride aboard the Paul Bunyan Timber Train, followed by a short walk to the upper falls. This trip is offered daily at 10:30 a.m. now until Oct 10.

In northwest Michigan, travelers have -two choices -- the Charlevoix Chamber of Commerce 1% hour cniises on Lake Charlevoix or the Ironton Ferry’s under fiveminutes mini-tour for just a half­ dollar. The chamber cruises are run at 1 p.m. Saturdays, Oct. 2 and 9, and on Sunday, Oct. 10. Tickets must be purchased in advance from the chamber. The ferry, painted red, white and blue for the Bicentennial, takes cars across Lake Charlevoix from Ironton to Boyne City in a shortcut that lops about a half­ hour off driving time. It is pulled across the lake on cables. While at Boyne City, hop aboard the Boyne Valley Railroad for a scenic color excursion that takes just under two hours each way. There are four 14-mile round trips every Saturday and Sunday through October, and the tracks run through picturesque Boyne Mt Ski Resort to Boyne Falls. If you’ve never been on a paddle wheel boat, there are four in Michigan offering fall color cruises the Au Sable River Queen Boats near Oscoda, the Island Queen in Kensington Metro Park near Detroit, and Grand Rapids’ Grand River Queen Paddle Wheel Riverboat.

Visiting a cider mill and watching the machinery work can be unique and fun-filled entertainment for the whole family. “Children in particular will delight in seeing the unfermented apple juice being extracted by means of a press and then sample the finished product,” Ratke pointed out. • To help motorists plan fall trips which include stops at cider mills, Auto Club has prepared the accompanying map and list of 67 southern Michigan operations. While fall is the peak time for cider mill operations, many facilities remain open through the winter with some extending seasons into spring until stored apple supplies are exhausted. “Since many mills operate irregular hours, persons wishing to see pressing operations should telephone ahead before leaving home,” Ratke advised. Visiting a cider mill can be a day-long activity since some of the mills feature such things as horse-drawn wagon rides, flea Cider mills are most popular on weekends. Travelers can avoid restaurants. Some mills have orchards lines by visiting mills on where the apples may be picked weekdays. The cost of cider this fall should while others permit customers to bring their own apples for range from $1.35 to $2.50 per pressing. The best time for gallon with doughnuts between picking apples is from early $1.10 and $1.70 a dozen.

These are mistakes that a young team makes, and with patience we will improve.” Maple Valley’s only score came when Dennis Cook stole the ball from Montabella’s quarterback and ran for a 40 yard touchdown.

Central Montcalm played the game without their punter, their quarterback, and two other starting players, all of whom will be ready for Maple Valley’s home opener next Friday. Portland has not played any league games yet Last Friday’s game saw the Lions establish an effective ground game mixed with an adequate air attack. Maple Valley took the opening kickoff and marched 78 yards for the first touchdown in 13 plays. George Owen went the final 2 yards for the touchdown, but Don Harp picked up 40 of the 78 yards on 6 carries. Don finished the night as the leading ground gainer with 71 yards on 14 tries. Montabella tallied its score in the second quarter on a 4 yard run by Randy Delemater after a 78 yard pass play. The 78 yard pass accounted for most of the Mustang’s 126 yards total offense for the night. Montabella had only 31 yards on the ground in 29 carries. Maple Valley came back in the fourth period with the final touchdown. Les Murphy hit Pat Powers with a 32 yard pass, then ran 4 yards on an option play for the touchdown. Don Harp ran untouched into the end zone for the 2 point conversion. The Lion defense, led by Pete Benton’s key interception of the Mustang’s two point conversion try was superb all night long. Sophomore Ken Hansbarger and Brian Mitchell led the teafn in tackles with 7 a piece. Don Rugg had 6 tackles, Pat Powers had 5 tackles, and Don Hickey had 5 tackles. The Lions will meet Central Montcalm in their home opener next Friday at 7:30. Maple Valley will be trying to raise its record to 2-0 in league play.

(Maple Valley News photo) Girl’s Tennis building for future The Girls Tennis Team has improved considerably, now in its second season of competition at Maple Valley High School. This year, two girls, Tammy Wolff and Kathy Knoll, have won matches equaling the number of victories recorded all last season. “Last year the girls didn’t score many points against their opponents,” said coach Ed Sampson. “This year, the girls make it much more challenging for the opposition. “Right now we are working on basic fundamentals such as serving, forehands, and backhands,” said Sampson. “They have gotten these skills down and must now learn to hit the ball away from the opponent and use a little finesse in their matches. I expect the girls to improve consistently as the season progresses.” Becky Erwin, Nancy Brady, Tammy Wolff, and Kathy Knoll are the number one through four singles players on the team. “Becky is a real fine tennis player, Nancy will be number one next year, Tammy uses her ability very well, and Kathy is fundamentally a real good player who works hard and thinks a strategic game.” The number one doubles players are Robyn Yarger and Teresa Evans; number two doubles: Denise Burd and Debbie McGinley; and number three doubles: Brenda Harris and Debbie Sutfin. “Brenda has come a long way from last year, and sophomore Debbie Sutfin should be very good for future teams,” said Sampson. “One of our biggest assets is a fine physical education program that creates interest in tennis and helps in early development and basic fundamentals. “We are currently in the building stages, but in another year,” Sampson predicts, “maybe two, we should be able to hold our own with any school in the area.” Schedule ‘76 GIRLS TENNIS Sept. 8 - Caledonia ..

Coach Jerry Reese stresses fundamental basketball, how to dribble with both hards, position basketball, and making the other team win from outside and not let them win on the inside. “At the J.V. level, I am basically concerned with developing the kids’ talents and teaching fundamentals,” said coach Reese. “The hardest thing to teach the girls is their assignments on certain plays.” Some of the outstanding performers on the team are forward Tuesday Aspinall, center Cathy Kraai, and guards Marcia Rockford and Julie Barlow. Showing much progress this year are guard Christine Shaw and forward Kathy Christopher. “Tuesday Aspinall is probably our best shooter,” said Reese. “She made 25 percent of her shots in our last game. She is a good natural athlete. “Kathy Christopher has been really improving this year. She had 11 rebounds in the first game. She is exceptionally quick. “The Portland game will give me an indication of how well we’ll do this year,” said Reese. “I expect that we’ll have a better than .500 season.” J.V.’s do it twice in a row VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Left to right are Shirley O’Dell, Kim Zemke, Julie Hartenburg, Kathy Garvey, Julie Shook Center pillars are Teresa Kent (left) and Gretchen Hartenburg.

This drawing took place in the Colony House, which at that time was west of the home of Mrs. Ava Kroger. Paul Hammond played Rev. Sylvester Cochran who opened the meeting with prayer. Names of the original settlers were pinned on members of the audience and as their name was called, they picked numbers for lots out of a hat. Assisting in this was Russell Weiler, Stuart Trumble, and Kris Farley. These people are all students in Mrs. Carpenter’s creative writing class. The next meeting will be Nov. 18 with Eaton Co.

While the members of the Extensive Congregational Church have provided the usual repairs such as paper and paint, windows and roofing, now this historic land­ mark is in need of extensive and costly repairs or face a demolition crew in a relatively short period of time. The Trustees of the Church signed a contract last week with the Dorr Granger Construction Company of Lansing. The project which includes the re­ enforcing and in some cases the complete replacement of parts of the original structure will take between three and four weeks. This will strengthen the lower floor so that it will be safe again for the many visitors who enjoy our Museum every year. At the same time the foundation will be so strengthened that it will be ready for the restoration of the second floor when funds are available. The cost of materials and labor will be nearly nine thousand.

Hastings — 945-9554) Volume 103 - Number 21 - Wednesday October 6,1976 National Fire Prevention week... October 3-9 “Learn Not to Burn” is the theme of Fire Prevention Week 1976, to be observed nation-wide the week of October 3-9. The intent of the event, sponsored by the National Fire Prevention Association is to encourage people to “Learn Not to Burn” each and every day of their lives. Current statistics show the leading caused of fire to be: 1). Electrical; 2). Smoking and matches; 3). Heating and cooking equipment; 4). Open flames and sparks; 5). Children and matches; 6). Flammable liquids; 7). Lightning; 8). Chimneys and flues. Fires kill an average of 32 persons in the United States every day. An estimated 11,800 lives were lost due to fire last year. Fires cost about $4.4 billion last year. An estimate by the National Commission on Fire Prevention and Control figures the total cost of fire, including lost wages, sales, production, as well as building and contents destroyed, at, $12 billion annually. Thirty percent of the fire victims are children. Some 3,500 U.S. youngsters through the age of 15 perish from fire each year. Approximately 25 percent of the tragedies occur when the children are alone or without proper supervision. Carelessness, disregard for established fire prevention policies, and ignorance account for a large percentage of the nation’s 1.3 million building fires each year, explains NFPA President Charles S. Morgan. These fires cost an estimated $3.3 billion annually. The best way to make serious reductions in this annual toll, Mr. Morgan says, is for the nation to take “Learn Not to Burn” to heart and to make attention to fire safety a year-round concern. The following are some specific suggestions from the NFPA on the control of fire: Electrical - Heed warnings such as sparking equipment, dimming lights, and blowing fuses. Take defective equipment out of service immediately. Have it repaired by experts or replace it. Smoking and matches — Obey the old warning not to smoke in bed. Smoking and drinking are an equally poor combination. Let ashes and cigarette butts cool overnight in large ashtrays before discarding them. Check behind all cushions for smoldering materials before going to bed. Heating and cooking Castleton Fire Department equipment — Keep in good currently has 19 members.

Teach older Department currently has 27 children the proper way to light members. They are Chief Cleo and dispose of matches. Flammable liquids - Store only minimal amounts, keep in a cool place away from pilot lights and other open flames. Keep out of reach of children.­ . .Lightning - Protect property with a correctly installed and maintained lighting system.

The Maple Valley golf team has a 5-3 record so far this season. Last year the team finished with an 8-6 record. “The 1976 team is probably the best squad we’ve ever had,” said coach John Hughes. “We should have a fairly successful season. “One of our problems is that we shoot much better at home than on the road.” The team’s home course is Riverbend Golf Course in Hastings. The 1976 team has six seniors Mark Shipman, Mark Benton, Brian MacKenzie, Dave Kelley, Keith Jones, and Tom Davis. “Mark Shipman is our best golfer by far,” said Hughes. “He shot an 86 and finished fourth at the league meet in Mt. Pleasant this week. “Mark Benton is also a real good golfer; he has done an excellent job for us. Junior Phil Rathburn should be our number one golfer next year. “Brian MacKenzie and Dave Kelley have improved greatly from last year. “The team team to to beat is Montabella,” said Hughes. “They are currently undefeated this season.” 1976 MAPLE VALLEY GOLF TEAM Front row, left to right.

One of the real hustlers on the team is 4-foot-9 Melissa Coffman. “She’s probably our best player,” said coach Carol Ripple. “She’s exceptionally quick and always in the middle of the action.

She’s an aggressive and tough player. If I had a taller team, I’d like to play her at guard. “Melanie Rogers is a good ball handler, and Coby Mateer shows promise at forward. “I’d say our strengths are our quick guards, and we have some height on the front line,” said coach Ripple. “Our main problem is overall team hustle.” “Celia Eaton is a good ball handler, Tammy Foote, a first ’ year player, is another good rebounder who'learns fast, and Judy Williams is very versatile and can play any position well. “For 8th graders, they move the ball real well,” said Gilmore. “I’d just like to see them become more defensive minded.” Maple Valley people are among the best high school fans anywhere, as witnessed at the Lions 35-6 home opener victory over Central Montcalm Friday night.

Football stunned at Central Montcalm Last Thursday, the Junior Varsity Football team traveled to Central Montcalm only to be manhandled by a 34-0 score. “I realized that our offense lacked punch,” says Coach Ruohonen, “but I thought writing for Rick Forzano’s playbook would be the key to our problems. “Seriously, our Junior Varsity put together about all of the mistakes that could be made in one game, and sadly enough Central Montcalm took advantage of most of the mistakes. “On the brighter side,” he continues, ”we were very pleased with the development of three football players - Nolan Goodner, Quentin Ward, and Bill Maker. Goodner and Ward are leading the team in tackles, and Maker is developing into a strong offense and defense player. “As the year goes on, we hope the younger people develop the pride that is needed to change over to a winning program.” This Wednesday the Freshmen travel to Portland for a 7:00 p.m. game. There is NO Junior Varsity game this week. The spirit is still high on the team as they search for victory Nq, 1.

Sincerely yours, Edgar Fleetham Eaton County Commissioner District 1 Thursday evening, October 7th, at 6:30 p.m. there were 42 boys and girls at the Vermontville Bible Church to get the new “club year” off to a good start! They began their meeting with the pledge to the American flag, followed by the pledge to the Awana flag and prayer. Gametime was next on the agenda for the evening, and after teams were chosen by dividing up evenly as to size,the basement rang with cheers and excitement from the red, yellow, green, and blue teams and all the leaders and helpers. During Council time, three of last year’s clubbers were awarded a large Artex wall painting for completing their handbooks last year. Receiving awards were Kim Bell, Pam Brown and Bob Brown. Over 73 voices sounded out the Awana Song followed by an enthusiastic song-time and an object lesson with spiritual application by the club Commander, Homer Winegar. Handbook time found each group with their leader and helper getting acquainted with each other and their Entrance Tests and new Handbooks. Bible memorization will earn them awards throughout the year, as well as permit them to go on special outings, such as hay rides, snow parties, shopping sprees, etc. Any boy or girl 3rd through 8th grades is invited to join us each Thursday evening at 6:30 p.m. Please call 726-0223 or 726-1007 if you need a ride. m PHONE 945-9554 WANT-ADS NOTICES Reach Over 3,200 families!

Incidents, some big, some small, have changed peoples’ lives throughout the history of mankind. Seemingly inconsequential occurences have served as the seeds of new beginnings or catalysts that have influenced an individual’s future. It happened to Stan Trumble in 1954, when an insurance agent visited him to sell him a life insurance policy. At 20 years of age, a second Lieutenant in the National Guard and employed by the State of Michigan, Stan realized that the insurance business was his calling. “Right away I knew that selling insurance was what I wanted to do,” said Stan. “I could be my own boss, success or failure could be determined by my performance, and it would allow me to take vacations with my family at my own discretion. “Most of all, life insurance looked like a good product and sound investment. The agent easily sold me on it, so I thought I could do the same.” Stan married the former Mary Ann Bulling in February 1955, and the insurance business was a constant struggle in the early going for him and his family. “I was on straight commission and it was difficult to make ends meet during my first five years,” recalled Stan. “I even had to borrow money from the bank so I could buy groceries at times. “I was out selling six nights a week, which added to the difficulty for my family. My wife deserves a lot of credit for being so understanding.” The Trumbles have four children, Teresa Jones, 21, Fred, 20, Stuart, 17, and Ken, 9. Stan sold his first policy to Carol Wells, who graduated with him from Vermontville High School. She still owns that same policy. Trumble has been a New York Life agent for 22 years, and was recently named the President of the Central Michigan Chapter of Life Underwriters. The Trumble Agency is located at 178 S. Main in Vermontville. “Only about ten percent of the nation’s life insurance agents are currently certified life underwriters,” said Stan, who earned his degree in 1965. “To be certified, an agent must take ten separate courses and pass an examination following each segment.” As president of the Central Michigan chapter, Stan has been busy helping make this education available to agents in the area. The classes; are available at Lansing Community College. “These classes are given so that the agent can be better informed on all aspects of the business, and therefore can better assist the public.” Stan’s education also includes a two-year degree in accounting from Lansing Community College. Trumble purchased the C. Wardwell Agency in Vermontville, an affiliate of Auto Owners Insurance, in May of this year. “I purchased the casualty, business so my clients could get 7 like working with people says complete insurance coverage from one agent.” Mary Trumble and Norma Shance, who has worked at the Wardwell Agency for ten years, work at the Trumble Agency office. Norma is a licensed salesperson and Mary will be shortly. “Auto Owners gives its clients super service,” said Stan. “The service man is here every Monday morning taking care of claim problems and writing checks. I have yet to find another company that gives such quick efficient service. “There is a world of difference between the casualty business and lifeinsurance business. Casualty insurance is something people need to have, but life insurance is a luxury. “It’s hard to create bad will with a life policy,”Stan added. “Once the client has purchased it, there is no way the company can raise the rates or cancel it. I thank people for their casualty business, but congratulate them on the purchase of a life insurance policy. “Life insurance can be used for so many things, such as down payments on homes, farms, businesses, or for vacations. Endowment plans have been used to pay for college tuition. About 95 percent of my clients have used their policies for these things. “My life policies have pulled me out of the hole a number of times,” Stan added. “I’ve used it to buy part of the Wardwell Agency and it was instrumental in the down payment of our home. I think of life insurance as being ‘parked’ for future use. “Of course, its primary function is to offset a mortgage and so forth, so the family can continue living the way they are accustomed to in case of death. A life policy is usually the largest sum of cash accumulated at the tim6 of death. Life insurance can determine an individual’s net Worth in estate and cash value. " “People are starting to realize the value of life insurance. Many past clients have come back to buy more of the same. People may make a mistake once, but they seldom make a mistake twice. Today, about 75 percent of my new clients are referrals from my previous clients. “I like working with people,” says Stan, “and feeling the sense of use to someone. I get great satisfaction knowing that my clients have profitted from my product.” Stan andfeeling the sense ofuse to someone. ” Photos and Story By Randy Northover The telephone is an important time saving devise in the insurance business.

Neither team had much success moving the football as Saranac could gain only 95 yards on the ground, 50 of which came on one play. The Lions, meanwhile, gained 129 yards on the ground. All the scoring came in the second quarter. Saranac’s Steve Mettemick broke for a 50-yard gain and was hauled down from behind by Pat Powers on the Maple Valley 10 yard line. The Lion defense held and took the ball over on the ten. Saranac then intercepted a Jim Hom pass and returned it for the only touchdown in the game. The Lion score came only minutes later when the Maple Valley defense backed the Redskins up to their own goal line and forced a bad snap on the punt try. The ball rolled out of the end zone for the two point safety. Don Harp led all Maple Valley runners with 51 yards, followed by Mike Hamilton with 46 yards. Defensively, the Lions were led by Don Hickey’s hard hitting and 10 tackles. Ken Hansbarger had 12 tackles in. Possibly his best effort of the year. Tim Burd played a good game, forcing a Saranac fumble that was covered by Andy Joostberns. Andy had 4 tackles to go with his fumble recovery. Another outstanding defensive effort was turned in by Gary Hamilton who had only three tackles, but all were for loss of yards.

Motor News which point out that the tire recall program is not cost-effective were: • The University of Michigan’s Highway Research Institute found tires responsible in just 30 of 2,500 accident investigations. Nineteen of those 30 accidents involved worn or underinflated tires which a recall program could not have prevented. • The National Bureau of Standards estimated in 1970 that tire failure contributed to only .06 to 1.6 percent of all highway accidents. • The Northwestern University Traffic Institute figures that less than one-tenth of one percent of tire disablements result in accidents. ■ U.S. Comptroller General Elmer B. Staats, reporting to Congress on federal vehicle safety testing, found auto tires “are not significant factors in traffic accidents.” “We should put our safety money where the biggest payoff will result, in terms of benefitting motorists, instead of bowing to emotional appeals not backed up by facts,” Motor News concludes.

Howard Wolpe speaks in Vermontville Wednesday Howard Wolpe, Democratic candidate for the 3rd Congressional District, spoke to interested citizens and answered questions at the Sugar Hut Cafe in Vermontville last Wednesday evening. Wolpe, State Representative from Kalamazoo, discussed problems the country is facing today such as inflation, unemployment, energy, security for senior citizens, unfair -tax laws, and more. “I think energy is a number one issue,” said Wolpe. “Oil companies also have control of coal and uranium, and have moved into agriculture. Mobil Oil recently bought Montgomery Wards. “We should limit each company to a single resource, and break up the huge conglomerates,” he continued. “The best protection for the consumer is competition. Government must promote alternative energy sources that will serve the interests of people, rather than work to protect the profits of large oil companies. “Our tax laws are unfair, the only ones benefiting by the system are the upper income people and large corporations,” 'said Wolpe. “I’d like to see the country move to a graduated income tax and eliminate tax loopholes. The general public should be relieved of the tax burden. “The present system makes it difficult for farmers and small businessmen,” he added. “For Continued on page 6 Howard Wolpe has been gusy on the campaign trail the past several weeks. �Maple Valley Newt, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, October 20,1976 — Page 2 American National Red Cross cautions local hunters — Firearms caused 2,700 deaths County, and a National Rifle in a single recent year, the Association Firearms Instructor.

CORKWELL Nashville Village Clerk regarded with full knowledge of their danger potential.” These safety procedures in the use of hunting equipment are an absolute “must” in reducing accidents, preventing injuries, and saving lives, Townsend said. He strongly recommended that hunters “and everyone else in Barry County” take a Red Cross first aid course to help make them more safety conscious and teach them emergency care of the injured. Hunters Safety courses are available thru local schools in cooperation with the Barry County Sheriff’s Department. Townsend listed these safety precautions for hunters: Gun storage and care:v Guns should be kept unloader and under lock and key in a sturdy cabinet, where children and others unqualified to handle them cannot get at them. Guns should be well cared for and inspected before use. Ammunition should be checked for age and condition of casings. A malfunction could result in a lost or misplaced shot and possible injury to the hunter or his companion. Before the hunt: A hunter should be prepared for the elements in the area he will cover. In cold weather he should wear sturdy boots and clothing that will be adequately warm. He should also wear highly visible clothing, and carry a compass, small flashlight, reliable lighter or matches in a waterproof case, strong knife, first aid kit, and map ofthe are he will be hunting. A loud whistle can be carried also, to summon aid if needed. On the hunt: Both law and courtesy require a hunter to ask permission to hunt on private property. The landowner can advise of location of other hunters in the area. When leaving the property, notify and thank the landowner. Be sure the ammunition is the right caliber for the gun to be used. In open field or brush, hunters should walk abreast One person out in front could be in danger from others. A left-handed Again receives "Watchdog of the Treasury Award" PROBLEM: Irresponsible Congressional Spending. ACTION: Brown was one of the first to advocate elimination of irresponsible “back-door” spending, a more critical audit of the effectiveness of Federal programs, and adherence to a Congres­ sional budget. RESULTS: A Congressional budget procedure has been estab­ lished which eliminates “back-door” spending, arid his proposal for an Office of Program Analysis and Evaluation has been recog­ nized in reform measures adopted by the Congress, both of which make the Congress a more responsible trustee of the expenditure of taxpayers’ dollars. Authorized by Citizens for Brown Committee - Paid for by National Congressional Committee marksman should always be placed on the right end of the group because of his tendency to swing right. Be alert for other hunters-.in the same area. The best and safest way to carry a gun while walking is cradled in muzzle pointing down. This lessens likelihood of injury in case of a fall. Inspect the gun muzzle often to make certain it hasn’t been accidentally plugged with earth or weeds. A plugged barrel could explode or split when the gun is fired, causing injury or death. One of the most publicized, yet unheeded, cautions on gun safety deals with the correct way to cross a fence while carrying a firearm. Especially in bird hunting, fence crossing is a frequent problem. Here are the recommended methods: 1. efore crossing a fence, open* the action of file gun or unload it. Push the gun laterally under the fence, then climb through or over at the butt end of the weapon. 2. When more than one hunter is involved, one person should hold the weapons while the other or others get over or through the fence. The weapons should then be passed across the fence, muzzle up. The other person can then cross the fence. A hunter should-be especially alert to any movement or noise. Many accidents have occured when a hunter shot at movement or noise. People, domestic livestock, and wind-blown branches have been blasted away by over-ansious hunters. Wait until your target is fully visible and a good shot is available before pulling the trigger. Each year many wounded animals escape, to die later, unfouhd. Approach downed game with caution - the animal may be only stunned Bear, elk and moose can kill a man and even a deer is extremely dangerous when wounded. Don’t carry game over your shoulders. A pair of antlers emerging from brush or trees is a perfect target for another vigilant hunter. Drag the game out, carry it on a travois (traveling poles), or dress it out, quarter it, and bring oiit the pieces. Bow and arrow hunting: Archery hunting, now highly developed with razoredged arrows and superpowered bows, has become popular. The arrows are extremely lethal. The bow hunter works under a decided disadvantage among other hunters. Since he usually wears camouflaged clothing and depends on stealth in stalking his game, he could be in much danger from hunters with firearms. Many times a special type of quiver is attached to file bow to improve firepower. When this type is used, the tips of the arrows should be covered with a protective hood. “A good hunter is aware of dangers involved in this sport and knows how to minimize them,” Townsend said, “Safe Hunting is NO Accident - and the Barry County Red Cross wants to keep it that way.” Nashville women Literary Club Mr. Don Haywood from Riverbend Travel Agency will present “A Romantic Caribbean Cruise” as the program for Wednesday night, Oct. 20 at 7:30 p.m., Fuller Street School, kindergarten room.

MAIN ST. NASHVILLE, MICH. �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, October 20, 1976 — Page 4 SwineFlu"shots available herein November From October through December, people across the younty will have to decide whether or not to receive a “SWINE FLU” shot through the free public clinics sponsored by local health departments as part of the National Influenza Immunization Program. In Barry, Eaton, and Ionia Counties, the public clinics will be held in November. “We>d like individuals to have enough information so that they can make an informed decision about whether or not to receive the vaccine,” says Dr. Jose Mejia, Health Officer for the Barry-Eaton, Ionia health district. "There are several misconceptions' about flu vaccinations which might discourage people from getting the innoculation,” he said. “For example, people often think that they can get the flu. from the vaccine. This is not true. Improved methods of producing and testing vaccines have reduced the number of side effects greatly. Because the virus used to, make the vaccine is killed, no one can get actual influenze from receiving a flu vaccination.” Some of the other questions often asked and the answers, according to Dr. Mejia are: What is Swine Flu? Swine flu, called a New Jersey influenza by scientists, is a respiratory disease caused by a virus. It' represents a major change from the recent “Hong Kong” and “Asian” types. When these changes happen, epidemics are likely to occur because almost no one has any natural body defense against the virus. Generally the epidemics caused by type A strains tend to be more frequent and severe. Because the virus is similar, to one that causes influenza in pigs, it has been nicknamed ‘swine flu’. Why is there a special immunization program for this type of flu? Two reasons. This is the first time a vaccine has been available before a flu- epidemic. Secondly, the 'virus has the potential for causing a severe epidemic, perhaps like the one in 1918 in which more than half a million Americans died. Scientists cannot say for cartain than an epidemic will occur, but the potential threat is real and many experts strongly recommend the swine flu immunization program. Recommendations for all other childrep under 18 years are expected later this month. B. Persons should not receive the vaccine if: 1. They are allergic to eggs. 2. They currently have a fever. 3. They have received other vaccine within 14 days. Who should be immunized? A. 1) All persons 18 years of age and older, and, 2) children from 3-17 years with heart disease, chronic bronchopulmonary diseases such as asthma or cystic fibrosis, chronic kidney disease, diabetes and other metabolic disease, chronic neuromuscular disorders, malignancies and immuno-deficient states. Will I get sick from the shot? Probably not. These vaccines have been field tested and shown to produce very few side effects. Some people who receive the vaccine - 2 percent - will have fever and soreness during the first 48 hours after vaccination. About 25 percent will have some tenderness or redness in the arm where the injection was given. Will the vaccine protect me from other types of flu? No. For certain high risk members of the population, older people, and those chronically ill with lung, heart or some other diseases, a special vaccine has been made that also protects against another milder influenze strain, “A-Vic tori a” . Manufacturers do not have the capacity to make enough of both vaccines for the entire population. That’s why it was decided to protect everyone from swine flu and only those who most need the protection from “A-Victoria”. Put yourbills on ‘ice Stop skating on thin ice.

But actually, the farmer only gets 6 cents for every $1.00 increase. The farmer’s very existence is threatened by greedy corporate interests and unfair tax laws. Wolpe is also opposed to wasteful spending of the taxpayers’ money. “I voted for an increase in cost of living for senior citizens,” said Wolpe. “My opponent, Garry Brown, voted for only a limited increase, yet he voted to raise his own salary and to help finance the war in Angola.” Wolpe would like Congress to pass a full employment bill to encourage private industry to create new jobs and provide public service jobs when necessary. -“We must preserve the jobs we now have;’’ he said.' “I’d much rather have people on jobs than collecting unemployment and welfare. This "would help relieve people of their tax loads and get the economy going again.” Wolpe plans to have three full time administrative assistants in the area, one for Kalamazoo Maple Valley school lunch Monday, Oct. 20 Lasagna, green beans, cole slaw, bread & butter, milk.

Our service offices .have worked in Kalamazoo, and I know it can work in the entire Congressional District. “Everyone may not agree with all my opinions, but they know I don’t change my views for different audiences. “When I vote, I try to get as much expert input from areas of various information and make careful judgements. “I feel good about my chances on November 2, but I’ll need everyone’s support.” Campaigning with the Wolpe supporters was Travis Cole, Democratic candidate for Eaton County Commissioner of District 10. Cole has worked for the Democratic party since 1972, and was; active for the George Wallace presidential campaigns. He ’ is currently on the state central committee of the Democratic party. “I decided to run for office because I don’t feel a candidate should run unopposed on the ballot,” said Cole. “If I’m elected, I promise to keep the public better informed about what is being done at the county level. I will let the public know how and why I voted on particular issues. The communication between the county and the public is very bad now. “I’d like to see the roads in Eaton County improved.

At no time does he need an expression of this supporting fellowship more than at the time of mourning. Jesus said, " Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted".

Carl’s Market Nashville, Michigan At the November 2, 1976 General Election, the voters of Eaton County will be asked to determine the fate of a County "Separate Tax Limitation” proposal. This proposal would stabilize the 15 mil tax limitation at its current rate for the next five years. The rate being: Eaton County 5.5 mils, Eaton Intermediate 0.2 mils, Schools 8.3 mils, and Townships 1.0 mil for a total of 15.0 mils. Passage of this proposal means that the 15 mils previously distributed by the Tax Allocation Board to the County, Intermediate, Schools, and Townships would be established by the voters for a five year period. Approval of this proposal would enable all of these units of government to budget more effectively by knowing their allocated millage at budget time. Passage does not alter the tax rate, it simply fixes the distribution of the basic 15 mils as it exists for the 1976 tax year. Defeat of this proposal means that the tax allocation board would be reconvened to distribute the basic 15 mils for 1977 and subsequent tax years. As chairman of this 1976 Tax Allocation Board, 1 urge voter approval of this County proposition. Sincerely, Stephen A. Hayden Chairman, Eaton County Tax Allocation Board News of our Servicemen Nashville Cub Scout news School Night for Cub Scouts was held September 30.

Your Township Board recently decided to ask the voters to approve a one mill tax levy for the Fire Department This money will be used for the purpose of providing fire department equipment, maintaining the equipment and housing, and operating the department. Castleton Township voters approved a similar proposal at the August 3rd Primary Election. Fire insurance rates are set according to the quality and history of protection within a district and according to the age of the equipment, which, if over twenty years of age, will tend to increase the fire insurance rates. Of the four units classified as fire fighting equipment, only two are less than twenty years old. One of these is eleven and the other is nine years old, which means these two will reach retirement age at almost the same time and will cause an almost unbearable cost even at today’s prices. The department needs a tanker with a capacity of 2,000 gallons which would enable them to get more water on a fire at an earlier and the most critical state of the blaze. This vehicle would replace the 1952 Ford truck which is suffering from functional obsolescense due partly to today’s regulations and methods of fire fighting. The cost of operating the Castleton Maple Grove Nashville Fire Department is shared equally by the three units of government and comes from their respective general funds. The money raised for equipping and maintaining the housing of the department by extra voted millage cannot be used for any purpose other than than approved by the voters. If this millage proposal is approved, it will enable the combined fire board to authorize the purchase of the much needed tanker without borrowing to do so and enable them to meet the cost of replacement of the 1965 fire truck which will have to be considered within one year after the expiration of the collection of this voted millage. This will have the effect of staggering the cost of replacements in the future after this millage approval expires with about 8 to 10 years between major expenditures. Until the present we have been able to equip and operate our own ambulance service without using tax monies. This policy shall continue as long as possible. So far for the year 1976, the Fire Department has answered about 50 fire calls, which is way ahead of the total of 43 calls for all of 1975. We have one of the most effecient and well-trained departments within a very large area. With approval of this millage, this record will continue, and, I believe, be improved upon ifpossible. It might be added that a new, more efficient, and much more dependable method of notifying the Fire Department in case of an emergency is being considered. Money for this expenditure would come from the equipment fund. This change hopefully would result eventually in a savings in the cost of operating the department. In 1974 you paid two mills for Fire Department, in 1975 and 1976 no mills. If this proposal, passes you will pay one mill for 1977, 1978, 1979, and 1980. Every property owner can calculate their cost by multiplying their total State Equalized .Value by .001. In other words, for each $10,000 in State Equalized Value, the cost to that property owner would be $10.00 for that year. An insurance rate increase caused by loss of efficiency and-or over age and outdated equipment could very well cost more than this. I hope this notice has explained the need of this millage; however, if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me or any of the other Board members.

It may surprise you to know, however, that no two funerals are alike. Each service brings its own requirements. The de­ sires of the family are given first consideration, always. In addition, the clergyman’s requests must be considered. Then the many details must be arranged around those requests. Each service, therefore, is distinct and follows a program of its own.

He worked effectively with Congressman LUd Ashley, a Democrat of Toledo, Ohio, in co-atrthoring and guiding to enactment the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, which has been characterized by Democrat Senator John Sparkman of Alabama as “the most important piece of housing legislation since 1934 and the most im­ portant community development legislation since 1949 . . .

Without your (Garry's) total in­ volvement and your strong non-partisan effort in producing this bill, we would not have been able to get a bill out of subcommittee, apart from successfully guiding it through the full committee and full House . . . the presence of Garry Brown in future Congresses will represent the continuation of *m enlightened and careful legislator that our many urban communities across the nation and our many hundreds of thousands of low- and moderate-in­ come families will need over the next decade if their interests are to be successfully represented in the House of Representatives.’’ Similarly, Brown was the key Minority Member of the Congress in accomplishing the passage of the Urban Mass Transportation Assistance Act of 1974 in which case he joined with Democrat Sena­ tor Harrison Williams and Democrat Representa­ tive Joseph Minish, both of New Jersey, in a most effective bipartisan effort to provide much needed Federal assistance to the public transportation sys­ tems of communities throughout the nation; this legislation has resulted in communities in the Third District of Michigan receiving hundreds of thou­ sands of dollars to purchase buses and equipment and upgrade their public transportation systems. At this time when all of us feel there is too much petty politics and partisan bickering going on in Washington, we truly need the kind of biparti­ san efforts Garry Brown has provided.

Hosted by the Good Shepherd Prayer Community at St. Joseph Parish, the meeting will include a prayer meeting, two teachings, a “tongues” workshop, presentation, of the film “Alabare”, a meeting for prayer group leaders, and a Pot-Faith supper. The first teaching will be, “The Purpose of It All - God’s Ultimate Intention for Our Lives,” given by Mr. Harry Johnson, a co­ ordinator of the Good Shepherd Community. According to Mr. Paul Bede, another Good Shepherd coordinator, “This talk will present a background of the Father’s eternal purpose which is important to understand if we are going to view our life in every part of God’s program as it is perfectly related to the whole.” The second teaching will be given by Paul Bede and is entitled, “Further Implications,” referring to God’s ultimate intention worked out in our lives in particular, concrete ways from day to day. Both teachings are designed to help establish the proper foundation for up-coming Diocesan Charismatic Meetings set for January 8, 1977, and March 12, 1977. The teachings at the Meetings will be taped-recorded and duplicated on site for same-day distribution.

Thanksgiving clothing drive set for Nov. 21-27 The annual Thanksgiving Clothing Collection sponsored by Catholic ReliefServices has as its theme this year, “Blanket the World with Love.” The collection will be held in many churches of the Diocese of Kalamazoo from November 21 through November 27. Diocesan Director, Rev. Eugene Sears, announced the opening of this year’s drive. He stressed that while the world’s poor and needy can use all the blankets they can get, there is also a continuing need for lightweight clothing. “Most of those persons who benefit from the annual Thanksgiving Clothing Collection live in the warmer, tropical areas of the world,” said Fr. Sears. “Lightweight clothing is more than worth its weight to those who live around the world,” he said. “The ideal donations to the collection are garments made of cotton, nylon, rayon and polyester. There is also a constant need for infants’ layettes and children’s clothing as well as work clothes for men,” he added. Last year Catholics throughout the United States donated more than 11% million pounds of clothing, blankets and bolt goods to the Thanksgiving collection. These donations, having a value of $16.6 million, were distributed to poor and needy families in 49 countries overseas. Fr. Sears pointed out that CRS, in its East Coast processing center, maintains a 500-ton reserve of clothing and blankets to be able to meet any demands resulting from emergencies or disaster situations. “Because of DON GILMER Government cannot do all things for all people...we can’t afford it. We must reorder our spending toward education and controlling crime and away from senseless pork barrel programs. its reserve of clothing and blankets, this past year CRS was able to send immediate and urgently needed help to people made homeless by the earthquake in Guatemala and to the victims of the civil war in Lebanon,” he said. Fr. Sears emphasized that the clothing collected in the parish churches is not only used to clothe the naked. Many of the garments are reprocessed in centers in developing countries. Thousands of boys and girls are trained in tailoring and dressmaking using the materials which have been donated to the Thanksgiving appeal. In many countries, CRS sponsors “Clothing for Work” programs. These programs enable people to take part in a community improvement project and to receive clothing and blankets as their reward for their labors. Fr. Sears urged all to “contribute all spare usable clothing and blankets to their local Catholic church during the appeal week. Last year, thanks to the generosity and immediate concern of American Catholics, CRSjWas able to ship 105,222 bales of articles of clothing and blankets overseas. “The success of the annual collection depends on the cooperation and generosity of our people at home and benefits millions of people abroad,” he said.

Through 25 years of experience as a practicing attorney in the city of Grand Ledge, Hudson Elliot Deming has demonstrated his outstanding qualifi­ cations for the office. Deming, 58 years old, has been city attorney for Grand Ledge since 1952, and has also served as attorney for the Villages of Mulliken and Sunfield.. From 1954 until 1968, when the District Court System was established, Deming was elected successively and served as one of two Circuit Court Commissioners in Eaton County. He served three terms on the Eaton County Allocation Board. A Masonic Thought'for Daily Living from: from Kalamazoo. He and his wife were partners in the practice of law’until her death in 1955. In 1967, Deming married Kathryn A. Baird, a former Lansing schoolteacher. A son, John H. Deming, is a law student in Sacramento, California, and a daughter, Susan A. Baird, a graduate of Michigan State University and the Lansing Community College School of Nursing, is employed at a Lansing hospital. Deming is a Mason, a Rotarian, and a member of the American Legion. He is a member of the State Bar of Michigan^ the American Bar Association, and the Eaton County Bar Association. He is a past president of the Eaton County Bar Association. Hudson Deming... a wise choice for Circuit Judge Deming was born in Vanderbilt, Michigan. He was graduated Valedictorian from his high school class, and in 1939 earned his B.S. degree at Michigan State Normal College (now Eastern Michigan University), and in the same year he was awarded a B.C.S. degree from Cleary College. After serving as a teacher in Armada, Michigan, and with the National Youth Administration in Lansing, Deming entered the United States Coast Guard in 1943. He was commissioned as Ensign and saw service in the South Pacific and Alaska. Following his resignation from the Coast Guard in 1948 as a lieutenant'(j.g.), Deming entered University of Michigan Law School from which he received his law degree in 1951. He took, and passed, the Michigan Bar Examination prior to graduation from law school; he was allowed to take the exam early because of the Korean War. After being admitted to practice in 1951, he married Paula Harrington, an attorney . Hudson Deming’s attitude toward the office of Circuit Judge can best be explained in his own words: “It is because of my experiences that I believe I have certain qualities necessary for a judge to conduct a fair trial. I submit that some of these qualities are: (1) PATIENCE - patience with parties, jurors, witnesses, laymen and court personnel. (2) OBJECTIVITY - a judge must be without bias or prejudice so that he can render a fair and honest decision. (3) HUMILITY - without humility a judge overlooks his own shortcomings and can fail to consciously attempt to avoid them. (4) WISDOM - a judge must have the mature judgement which comes from a broad range of learning and experiences. It is this judgement which grants him the power ofjudging rightly after he has followed the soundest course of action. We give our judges great power to affect our lives and welfare. It is the judge's wisdom which insures that this power is exercised with discretion."

It’s a time when summer’s warm breath fades, and autumn’s frigid tongue lashes out to chill the bones. It’s a time when trees discard their pastel foilage, casting crisp, brown leaves fluttering to the ground. October is an eventful time. It’s a time when sportsmen polish their trusty guns and invade the woods with their favorite hounds. It’s the World Series. It’s a time of toothless jack-o-lanterns and pint-sized goblins in the night Yet, with all this, October would not be complete without autumn’s natural juice, apple cider. This is the second season that Dennis Kruger and his mother-in­ law, Joyce Shook, have made the tasty beverage at his farm north of Vermontville on Irish Road. “It’s actually a family project,” says Dennis. “Everyone joins in and lends a hand.” Dennis and his wife Pam purchased the farm, equipped with an out-building once used for dairy cows. The milking parlour was all concrete, with a pit and drains already built in and lots of storage space in the barn, making it a perfect set-up for a cider press. “Cider-making is relatively simple,” says Dennis. The apples are lifted on an elevator and put through a grinder where the apples are crushed to pulp. The pulp is coarse cloth dropped onto spread over a 28 inch wooden rack and wrapped tight. Another rack is placed on top of the first and a second package is wrapped. This process continues for several layers. Several wooden blocks of cribbing are placed on top to balance the load and take up the space between the pulp and the top of the press. The pulp is then squeezed. The juice drains down to a holding tank below the press and then passes through several filters. The cider is then poured into gallon jugs and refrigerated. “We keep the cider at about 29 degrees, so it crystalizes,” says Dennis. “It doesn’t freeze until preservatives in cider, it will begin to ferment after this period of time and become ‘hard’. We try to keep about 60 gallons on hand.” Last year Dennis and his family made over 7,000 gallons of cider. “We either buy apples from area orchards and sell the cider to customers who stop in, or customers bring their own apples to us,” says Dennis. “We use a blend of three kinds of apples whenever we can, because it makes the best tasting and most productive cider,” he continued. “We use Macintosh as a base and a tart taste, Jonathons for its large quantity ofjuice, and Delicious for its sweetness. “We can made three gallons of cider from a bushel of good apples,” says Dennis. “When things get rolling, we can produce 110 gallons in one hour.” October will be with us forever, Dennis Kruger (right) and his father, Russ Kruger, run the apple juice through a filter.

It is merely a renewal of the 1 mill for Fire Department, and % mill for the Library we have been paying for the past twenty years. Unless ‘YES’ is voted on all four propositions, they will fail. I’m sure we all realize our Fire Department and Library are most necessary to our community.

FOR SALE I offer my services for the next two years to the voters in Castleton and Maple Grove Townships, Commissioner District No. 7. ■4^ -------------------- ®tW3O ii w As your Commissioner for the last two years, I have voted NO on any proposal that in. my judgement did not provide OneHundred Dollars of Services or Material Goods for each One-Hundred Dollars of Taxpayers’ money spent and will continue the same action in the future. The city of Hastings was confronted with the problem of maintaining the Airport or closing same. When the County Commis­ sioners were first asked to contribute $7,000.00 to match the same dollars from .the city, I voted “NO”, because I firmly believed that the County Commissioners were entitled to more time to study the economics involved and how much County­ wide benefits are derived from continuing the operation of the airport. A committee of four commissioners were appointed and met with the Hastings City Council and their airport committee. This meeting was very informal and productive. The Council extended tlje deadline for closing the Airport until the County Com­ missioners could reconsider. The second vote was taken on October 12th and I voted YES, with the reservation that a study be made as soon as possible to determine how essential the Airport operation is to the economic growth of the County. The County Farm Bureau at their recent Convention passed a Resolutipn in favor of Continuing the airport operation and, any County wide organization that believe in continuing the airport if at all possible should not be ignored. The present plan will keep the operation going until July 1, 1977. I personally believe those using the Airport and Hangers should contribute more to the maintenance and operation to at least make it a break even operation. State wide no small airports are a money making venture, most all being subsidized from some outside source. I am hopeful that I have made a sale and all that is needed to close the transaction is that the voters'of my District take the time to mark an X before my name on the Ballot in Maple Grove Township and pull down the lever before my name on the Voting machines in Castleton Township including the Village of Nashville.

The Lions will be assured at least a tie for the top spot by beating Lakeview in the Maple Valley homecoming game. Meanwhile, the team is still riding high after the vistory over Portland last week. The first win ever for Maple Valley over Portland did not go unnoticed by the Portland fan either. The letter below is from the Seal family and was written Saturday after the game with Portland to the Les Fox family of Vermontville: of Maple Valley on this fine sprit. We hope you will convey our feelings to the board, administrators, the teachers, coaches, and the players. Thanks, Dear Fox Family, Alma College Admissions Representative Elizabeth Hostetler is scheduled to be at Maple Valley High School on Thursday, October 28, to provide information to interested students concerning Alma's academic programs and other aspects of campus life. Maple Valley students will be able to learn from Ms. Hostetler about Alma’s new career preparation program which integrates liberal arts education with career planning and counseling to better prepare them to face the job market successfully. Students who wish to talk to Ms. Hostetler should contact the high school counseling office for an appointment. Just a note of congratulations on the football game Friday nite. I think Maple Valley played a fine football game. It was quite a battle, but Maple Valley proved to be the better team. I think what impressed me about the game, other than the fact that it was hard fought, was the spirit of good sportsmanship and clean play that was evident throughout the contest. The players, coaches, cheerleaders, students, and the fans were all part of this spirit. We feel that this type of action should not go without response and should be highly commended. We compliment all Sincerely, The Seal Family: Gordy, Liz, Cary, Rory, Brad, Darcy Dan, Stacy & Shawn ALMA REP.

The dedication began with a luncheon at the Nashville Steak House, and continued with a visit to the old water tower, followed by the dedication at the new facilities. The $400,000 project included the installation of approximately 18,000 feet of water main and the construction of a new 400,000 gallon tank. The new tank in Fuller Heights replaces the old standpipe in Putnam Park that was erected in 1892. The old tower will remain as an historical landmark. Village President George Frith expressed appreciation for the cooperation of local residents and governmental agencies in the development of the project. The program was financed with the assistance of the FHA, which provided a $360,000 loan at five percent for 40 years.The village paid $39,000 out of its own funds. The improvements were designed by Williams and Works, consulting engineers from Grand Rapids. Construction contractors were J.A. Strickler Co. and John W. Potter Inc., both of Grand Rapids; Caldwell Tank Inc. of Louisville, Kentucky, and Superior Electronic of Lansing. Attending the dedication were Bob Abbott, Bill Meyer, and Russ Keech of the FHA; Fred Timmer and Patsy Clark of Williams and Works; Bob Chaprnka from Senator Dick Alien’s office; village attorney Dick Shaw; village officials and others.

The neckline was high, trimmed with a narrow lace. She chose a white hat with a sheer bow at the back with a matching lace encircling the crown. Her bridal bouquet was a nosegay of white and orange roses with baby’s breath, wheat, bronze and white mums. Having been close friends most of their lives, it was only natural that Patty Rathburn be maid of honor and Sandra Townsend, Laurie Williams and Lee Wright attend her as bridesmaids. Beth Starring was a star, as she came down the aisle placing her rose petals for the lovely bride. The girls wore dresses of green, tan, orange, and yellow with sheer flowered ruffledjackets made by the bride’s mother. Their hats were the same color as their dress and the large bow at the back matched their jackets. Small fireside baskets filled with bronze mums, baby’s breath, wheat and cattails were the flowers they carried. Mike wore a two-toned brown tux, an orange rose with wheat in his lapel and his usual friendly smile. As best man, Randy Fowler stood beside him coaching him all the way.

Maple Valley’s tough defense thwarted several Lakeview scoring drives, but could generate little offense of its own. Throughout the game Maple Valley had its back to the wall, but continually rose to the occasion to spoil the Wildcats’ attack. Seven times Lakeview threatened to score within the Maple Valley ten-yard line, but came away with only one touchdown and one field goal against the Lions defense. The Wildcats picked up another TD on a pass interception. Twice, the Lions stopped Lakeview within a yard of the goal line. Twice, the Wildcats attempted field goals, converting only one. ' Both teams were tied for the Tri-Central League lead with 4-0 records. Despite the 17-0 final score, it was one of the hardesthitting contests in the area this season.

Much praise to our Greyhound driver who was cautious enough not to cross a narrow wooden bridge until a park ranger assured us busses cross it every day. On the way down, we stopped at Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum at Wapakoneta, Ohio, and had a guided tour of Berea College, Ky., where needy students can work for an education.

This car, which holds 120 persons, travels 1500 ft. per minute or about 17 miles per hour and takes 10 minutes to reach the mountain top. The food was excellent and the music by Bavarian Fun Maker Band was enjoyed by all. We also visited Chris tus Gardens which is a beautiful building constructed of Tennessee and Georgia marble.

In the belief that the thoughts I wish to set down here will be, or at least should be, of interest to the community at large, I’m also sending a copy of the letter to be printed in the Maple Valley News. After our general discussion of customer parking at our last Chamber meeting, I came away feeling that we all pretty well sensed that we had touched upon a vital topic, but had no clear-cut consensus of what should be done, or how we should go about it. Hence, the purpose of this letter. As I see it, right at this time, we face both a threat and an opportunity. First the threat, as pointed out to us by one of our Council members present. The statement was again made, as you will recall, that definitely, in less than two years’ time, the state will force a ban of all parking on M-66 - our Main Street. We’ve all probably heard this said before. I, for one, have, until now, discounted it with the thought that “they can’t do this to us,” or the feeling that the state would like to see such a ban, but really couldn’t make it stick, etc. However, we’ve heard it from so many “reliable sources” as the media likes to put it, that I feel it is high time we found out once and for all whether or not this treat is real. If it is real, we’ve got our work cut out for us, but I’ll touch on that a bit later. Next, I want to point out the opportunity I see coming our way. It seems quite obvious that once the Cedar Point Park is built at Battle Creek, our M-66 is going to become a much more heavily travelled route in the summertime. Our highway will be the most logical North-South connector route between 1-96 and 1-94 for those going to and coming from the park. In addition, a much greater percentage of tourists from Indiana and Illinois and points south coming into Michigan for a Northern vacation, will now enter the state in the Battle Creek area to first spend some time at the park. What more direct route to continue their Northern trip, than M-66 after leaving the park? The opportunity, of course, is that a certain percentage of these will stop in our town and do some shopping or get a meal. That is, they will if they see a place to park. The sad truth is that as things now stand, they often would not see a place to park, and if the state does indeed stop all parking on Main Street, they would never see a place and our opportunity for increased trade would vanish into thin air. At this point, some will say, yes, but we have parking in the rear of the stores. To this, I say that the average tourist would not know this, and would continue on, deciding to stop in the next town instead. To continue this absurdity a little further, as I understand it the state would not even allow us to erect adequately sized signs to inform the public of the parking area in the rear. In many ways, this sounds like a hopeless situation and probably it would be, if it were not for a most fortunate circumstance. Nashville is lucky to have right in the center of its business district a municipally owned, adequately sized, highly visible parking lot. All that needs to be done is to remove a few trees, erect some signs and there we have it - a ready-made lot that would be the envy of any forward looking community. That’s right, this lot is now known as Central Park, but it is a park in. name only, for you know and we all know that it is rarely if ever used for any constructive purpose. Now that the theater is gone, it should hold at least 25 cars. While towns all over the country are realizing how vital adequate parking space is, and are spending untold sums buying and tearing down buildings to get space, we have it right here for the taking. How lucky can we get? In all fairness to the shoppers, I would like to see a one or two hour parking limit installed, if accepted by the general public. Indeed, it would probably be better is it were, thereby reserving it for those who wished to stop to shop. Those wanting' to park for longer periods would find ample room behind the stores. I realize that some will find this idea controversial and hard to accept, but my hope is that all Chamber members will readily Continued next page �Maple Valley News. Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday. November 3,1976 - Page 11 Barry-Eaton health departments need volunteers for 'Swine Flu Clinics' The Barry-Eaton, and Ionia Health Departments are reviewing their emergency and clinic procedures to assure adequacy at all swine flue immunization clinics in November.

Corkwell, Clerk to be available to help us during the clinic hours, on a rotation basis. We intend to do everything possible to make the clinics safe and comfortable for the public,” Dr. Mejia said. The local swine flue immunization program is being run almost entirely through volunteers and we still need more in Barry County”, says Dr. Jose Mejia, Health Officer for Barry, Eaton and Ionia Counties. Never before in the history of the Barry-Eaton District Health Department has such a large scale program relied so heavily on the support and energies of the community, according to Dr. Mejia. According to Mr. William Barr, who is the coordinator for Barry County, about 30 peoplee are needed to staff any one clinic. “That means we need a total of 150 people to contribute one day a piece.” “There is a job for everyone we need clerks, greeters, interviewers, nurses, physicians, and trained emergency personnel.” People interested in volunteering for the flue clinics should call the Health Department at (616) 945-9516 and leave their name. Already, hundreds of volunteer hours have gone into planning and publicity. “We are very Pre-school story hour to start The Fall session of the pre­ school Story Hour for both pre­ schoolers and their parents will begin November 8.

Marie. That total represents nearly 725,000 people, according to latest U.S. Census figures, which is actually 25,000 less than the number who are expected to buy licenses that allow them to try their luck in outsmarting a white tail. About 1 in 7 hunters should be successful in taking home venison, which was the experience last year when a similar number of hunters shot 106,550 deer in Michigan, including a record harvest of 96,370 bucks. DNR wildlife biologists, who monitor deer numbers yearround, say Michigan’s deer population again exceeds the onemillion mark - for the second year in a row, and only the second time in nearly two decades - due to a combination of successful habitat management programs by the DNR, . an active commercial timber market in some parts of the state, plus some good luck with recent mild winter weather which together generally developed better food supplies for deer. r “There’s a heck of a lot of deer and plenty of deer hunters, so 1976 has all the necessary ingredients for another exciting and satisfying season,” observes the DNR’s Dave Jenkins, Wildlife Division Chief. “Weather conditions could alter the success of the hunt, and so could the fact that the season begins on a Monday - instead of a Saturday like last year - but biologists are generally quite optimistic about the prospects again this year.” Jenkins says most hunters traditionally go afield on “opening day.” Many others bound for the northern woods, probably will stay near their favorite trails throughout the Farm Bureau Services announces shell egg facility sale Farm Bureau Services, Inc.

He says that contrary to some reports that play up the number of fatal hunting accidents (nine were recorded in 1975), the accident rate per 100,000 deer hunters has been steadily decreasing for over 30 years. “Think safety and hunt safely, and one’s chances for an accident-free season is almost guaranteed,” says Jenkins. “And 24,170 whitetails a year ago.

Practically painless, the guns quickly inject a stream of vaccine by high pressure, not a needle. They weigh a streamlined 12 pounds and can give up to 2000 injections a day. This fall, they'll be used in clinics right here in Michigan by people who care about your good health. Doctors, nurses and public health personnel want to head off the possibility of a swine flu epidefnic. Many of them will be working as volunteers in your community during the immunisation period. No one wants to catch the flu. Particularly swine flu, which many health experts believe caused the 19.18 epidemic, the worst flu plague-, in history. That one hit hard at people in their 20 s and 30’s as well as the ill and aged. It killed more than 20 million worldwide, including half a million Americans. When physicians discovered the A/New Jersey influenza (“swine flu") virus this February, they were concerned. Not only did it closely resemble the antibodies in survivors of the 1918 flu, but it was a new "A" flu strain. A type flu appears about every ten years and populations are largely unprotected. The last A type flu was Hong Kong, which killed 33,000 people in the U.S. and cost $3.8 billion in medical expenses and workdays. That’s why physicians and scientists from the Center for Disease Control, National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the Food and Drug Administration strongly recommended to the President that a mass swine flu immunization program be launched. Because flu spreads fast, through sneezes and coughs, you can't stop an epidemic after it starts. And there’s no cure for flu. A flu shot is the only protection that's safe and effective. The swine flu shots will be available free of charge through your local health department, for a limited time only. Your newspaper, TV, or radio stations wili be good sources of specific information, in addition to your local health department. Of course, you may prefer to obtain a shot from your personal physician, ihat s fine. The important thing is to be protected. So take the A strain the safe way, in a swine flu Shot!

As years go by, the roots grow deeper and stronger creating a lasting foundation with the surrounding earth. People also plant “roots” in much the same way. Over a number of years, people become attached to a community that offers them happiness and a sense of belonging. Yet unlike the tree, there is a time for many people to move on, uproot, and leave good friends and pleasant memories behind, and establish fresh “roots” in a new home. The Nashville area has given Cecil Barrett a good life, and he has provided nourishment to the community in return. Though Cecil will miss the Castleton Township Hall, Simon’s Pharmacy, and other familiar places, this week he and his wife, Juanita, are moving to Lakeland, Florida, to start a new life. “This area has been; good to me,” said Cecil, “and I’ll miss all my friends and the good people here. But, it’s gotten so I can hardly tolerate the cold weather anymore, and I think I’ll feel much better in a warmer climate. However, we still plan to come back and visit all our friends and relatives in the summers.” Cecil first came to the Nashville area as a young child with his parents, uncle, and grandparents, who migrated here from Indiana in 1912. Cecil’s father was a carpenter and millwright and had to go where work was available. After some years in Barryville, his dad got a job in Three Rivers, so Cecil finished school there. During the summers, Cecil always came back to the Nashville area where he stayed with his grandparents and uncle. Following high school graduation in 1930, Cecil returned to the area. His first job was at the Farmers Cooperative Creamery Association where he worked until 1948. After two years with Montgomery Wards in Hastings, he started working at Furnace and Douse Drugstore. When John Simon bought the store, Cecil stayed on and continued working there until his retirement this past August “I came back to the area because you can’t beat the friendliness and good people here,” said Cecil. “I liked the small town atmosphere and the quality of living in Nashville.” Cecil married Leora Baas in 1930. She died in- 1969, the day after the Nashville Centennial Celebration. He married Juanita Ryder in 1971, whose husband, Harvey Wilson, died in 1966. Cecil served as Castelton Township clerk for 25 years, was a member and president of the Nashville Village Council, and was one of the organizers and president of the Castleton-Maple Grove-Nashville Fire Board. “Before the Fire Board was formed, it was only a village fire department,” said Cecil. “It was just too much a load for the department to serve the rural areas. There wasn’t enough equipment and the equipment they had was too old. “All the area people working together and their loyal support made the present fire department possible. We bought more modern equipment making it possible to save much more property; Insurance rates have improved and the people seem pleased with the service. “All the vehicles are radio equipped now, and special phones have been installed in several of the volunteers’ homes where they can blow the fire whistle by the push of a button. “Our boys make up the finest rural fire department and ambulance service around, Cecil continued. fire ““Today Today the the area departments are able to help each other where 15 years ago many homes were lost because the departments weren’t equipped to assist one another.” Since Cecil has been township clerk,, he has seen voter registration increase from 600 to 1519. “We used to be able to make more decisions without approval from big government,” said "The state should Cecil.. recognize that local government knows the needs of the people more than the people in Lansing. But with the population growth in the country, I can see how some of the state regulations are good. Michigan The Township Association has been a fine influence. "Our township board has always, worked as a team, and we’ve had fine cooperation from the people of the township. “I had a ball at the township hall on Election Day,” said Cecil. “It was a great opportunity to see Continued on page 8 Cecil and his wife Juanita are looking forward to their new life in Florida.

The busses will have International chassis with Wayne bodies at a cost per bus of $14,980.49 and a total cost of $44,941.47. The cost per bus last year was $14,518.30. General fund bills in 1he amount of $35,114.15 were approved for payment as well as transferring the October 22 payroll in the amount of $67,997.07 and the November 5 payroll in the amount of $66,464.01 to the payroll account. Mrs. Hildred Peabody, coordinator of the special education programs, presented a general report on the special education programs now being offered in the Maple Valley Schools along with the special services provided through the Eaton Intermediate School District. The local school district presently employs eight full time teachers which includes six classroom teachers, one consultant working with students in the various buildings, and the speech therapist working with students in all buildings. Mrs. Peabody stated that special education teachers and school administrators were considering various methods of reporting student progress for students enrolled in the various special education programs. The school district is presently transporting, students to special education programs in Lansing, Battle Creek, and the trainable program at the Eaton Intermediate School District building in Charlotte. Approval was given a new kindergarten report card which had earlier been approved by the educational advisory committee and professional study committee. The new report card will cover the main areas including social and emotional growth, work habits, language, listening skills, mathematics, gross motor skills, and fine motor skills. Approval was also given a program enabling parents of children enrolled in kindergarten to purchase milk and graham crackers for snack time on a semester basis. It isn’t necessary that partnes participate in this program, although the kindergarten teachers, administrators, and committee members believe that such a program will limit the amount of time taken for snacks enabling more time to be directed toward the general instructional program. The cost per semester for graham crackers and milk will be $5.50, graham crackers alone $1.50, and milk alone $4.00. A reimbursement will be made to the parent in event the child is absent for a long illness or if the child is moving from the school district.

Christmas Seals Fight Lung Disease “Michigan Lung Association’s objective is the prevention and control of lung disease,” Mr. Ceasar said. “With deaths from chronic obstructive lung diseases increasing each year, we need Christmas Seal dollars to maintain our programs and expand into new areas to help the lung patient.” In Michigan 1,677 adult residents died of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases in 1975. According to lung association data, chronic lung disease is the second highest cause of additions to the Social Security disability benefit roles in people under the age of 65. “Those who have contributed to Christmas Seals in years past should already have their 1976 Seals,” Mr. Ceasar said. Other Barry County residents should receive theirs by the third week of November.

Fresh Cranberry Chutney Mold The Maple Valley defense pursues Middleville running back, Mike Sanford (21). (Maple Valley News photo) This fall the most bountiful harvest ever of fresh, ripe, plump and piquant cranberries will be in markets. These marvelous native berries can be used in so many recipes from soups, to stews, for relishes and sauces, breads, pies and cakes. Take advantage of the pick of the crop and buy a quantity how and freeze what you don’t use at once. To freeze, simply pop unopened bags or boxes right into the freezer. When ready to use frozen cranberries, just follow the directions for any fresh cranberry recipe. n For a hostess who wants to be carefree, serving her guests buffet style makes good sense. Consider a sparkling Cranberry Chutney Mold to compliment a curried chicken or lamb in a chafing dish. Fresh cranberries can also be used decoratively in glass containers to add colorful adornment to your gracious table setting. A really festive and elegant touch. 1 2 4 3 CRANBERRY CHUTNEY MOLD (Serves 8) 1 bottle (1 pound, 1 ounce) pound (4 cups) Ocean Spray India mango chutney, fresh or frozen-fresh cran­ . chopped berries, rinsed and drained cups sugar 2 cups finely chopped celery cups water .2 can (11 ounces each) mandarin oranges, drained envelopes unflavored gelatin Combine cranberries, sugar and 2 cups of water.

Pour mixture into a 2quart mold. Chill until firm, fo unmold, dip mold into luke­ warm water for a few seconds, tap to loosen and invert onto platter. Garnish with bite-size greens, orange slices and celery curls if desired. Jeff Slocum gets punt away under a heavy rush by the Middleville defense.

There are several nice maple trees in the park that would have to be cut down, and 25 cars wouldn’t be a drop in the bucket compared to the number of cars that now park on Main Street. When I came to this town, there was a water fountain in lie middle of the park, and I don’t know why it was discontinued. Let us keep the park.

However, the beginning of the jewelry business goes back to 1955. (Maple Valley News Photo) �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, November 24, 1976 — Page 2 to the editor.., Letter to the Editor, We, some of the members of the Women’s -Literary Club of Nashville; wish to express our strong opposition to any plan to turn our Central Park into a parking lot. Many of us can remember when it was a treeless eyesore on Main Street, and do not wish to see it reduced to one again. The village put much money and time into converting it into a beautiful park. It has been admired by many townspeople and visitors. Our club and several other organizations in town have worked there, including the scouts. If all the trees were cut down, we doubt if more than 20 cars could be parked there. Did you notice how beautiful it was this fall? Picture it with no grass, no trees, no benches. There can’t be an entrance to such a parking lot onto Main Street (M-66) without disrupting traffic, so there would still have to be an entrance from the side street or State Street - so why not simply park on State Street instead? And there are more spaces behind the stores on the west side of Main Street. It would cost much less to make them available for parking, than to spoil the best looking part of Main Street Signs can be put up showing where parking is available. When we have Harvest Festivals, etc., we have always been grateful for the shade when there are exhibits in the park. Don’t let them cut down the trees that our village fathers planted FOR US!

I subsequently applied for the position. I was interviewed for the position, which included teaching mostly junior high students and some hich school students, on or about Aug. 9, 1976. During this interview, it was pointed out to me that I may have difficulty coping with the students because of my age. This was again offered as the reason for my not being selected on Aug. 24, 1976 when I inquired of the Bd. Of Ed. I have subsequently learned a younger man, 21-22 years of age, was selected. I am currently employed as a teacher but would like to work for this school system as it is much nearer my home. I believe I have been denied an equal employment opportunity because ofmy age.

Respondent admits that claimant applied for a position with Respondent in July and August 1976; it is without knowledge of when Claimant learned of the vacancy. 2. Respondent admits that claimant was interviewed for a position on August 10, 1976. Respondent denies that it or its agent ever said or though that claimant would have difficulty coping with students because of his age and denies that bis age was ever given or used as a factor in the decision to hire him. Respondent states that the Board of Education meeting was on August 23, 1976. Respondent admits that the person hired to the position was 23 years of age. 3. Respondent neither admits nor denies the allegations of claimant’s current employment or desires but leaves claimant to his proofs. 4.

Shortly thereafter, their sons Bruce and Vance, and daughter, now Mrs. Donna Gaskill, helped out. Mr. Higdon died in 1969, but Elaine continued the business for him. She married Donald Leonard in 1970. In 1972, they bought the Nashville Flower Shop from Jack DeGroot (where Tressa’s Cake Decorating now stands) and combined the two businesses. Edna Edwards had worked at the flower shop since 1966 when Loren Dingman still owned the business,, and continued working for Mrs. ,Leonard.

We couldn’t have done it without her.

They are priced reasonably and make excellent gifts. Gold prices have doubled or tripled since Vic started business in 1955.” “We still carry some diamond rings, but not as much as Vic used to carry since he was able to fit the rings himself. He used to carry more varieties of watches than we do today, but we carry more models of Timex and Bulova watches than he did years ago.” “We still carry wedding rings, and try to keep all colors and sizes in stock on the regular bands,” continues Mrs. Leonard. “Flowers are used for all occasions, both the happy and the sad times. We handle entire weddings with candlelabras, kneeling benches, bouquets, and other wedding decorations. We also do a lot of cemeteiy work in the spring and take urn filler arrangements to the grave sites for our local customers. We make up arrangements for hospital patients and funerals too.” “We can take orders for flowers or plants and have them delivered anywhere in the country,” explains Mrs. Leonard. “We have a complete directory of florists around the country associated with Tele-Floral.” “For holidays, people should place out-of-town orders early. �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, November 24, 1976 — Page 9 KNOW YOUR MERCHANT - Continued four or five days prior to the deliveiy date.

Almost everything is personally designed by Edna, and she trys to make each arrangement as different and individual as possible.” “We are here to give 8% hours of service every day. we are happy to make suggestions on flowers and jewelry at any time. Anyone is welcome to come in and browse, we are glad to have them just come in and look around.” Nashville Flowers and Jewelry is open from 9 to 5 six days a week. “At our store, people can depend on a full week of regular hours, good merchandise, and friendly, dependable help.” “We get great satisfaction performing the various services we can offer our customers.” Clara Pennock makes one of the many Tele-Floral calls Nashville Flowers and Jewelry makes to have flowers delivered-anywhere in the country for their customers. (Maple Valley News Photo) New Real Estate office opens in Nashville Some energy saving-tips— An economy driving demonstration conducted by Automobile Club of Michigan shows that state motorists can stem what could be a record­ setting gas consumption year by using conservative driving techniques. To help combat an alarming rise in gas consumption and to promote Energy Month in Michigan, Auto Club conducted a test Nov. 10 with two identical cars that showed conservative versus jackrabbit driving- can result in a 60 percent increase in miles per gallon of gas. “We conducted the test because we are alarmed that Michigan motorists this year could exceed the record 4.8 billion gallons of gas burned in 1973 stated Joseph Ratke, Auto Club touring manager. Ratke said that for the first eight months this year, Auto Club records show gas consumption in Michigan is up 120 million gallons over the identical period of 1975 and more than 210 million gallons above 1974. The cars, 1977 Chevrolet Caprice Classics equipped with one gallon test beakers, were driven over a 10-mile-long freeway and city street course in the Detroit area. One car was driven with jackrabbit techniques while the other, which started the course at the same time, was driven conservatively. The test was supervised for Auto Club by Detroit Testing Laboratory. The poorly driven car finished the course only 25 seconds ahead and obtained 10.04 miles per gallon while the other vehicle obtained 16.3 miles per gallon. Over a 10,000-mile year, Auto Club projects that the good driver would save $222 in fuel costs compared with the. bad driver. “By driving sensibly and safely, motorists not only conserve fuel but help cut Michigan’s increasing traffic death toll, which is six percent above the first 10 months of 1975,” Ratke said. Michiganians who impose settrestrictions to save fuel do not have to change their life styles drastically and will not have to reduce vacation travel. -“Since 85 percent of an motoring trips cover 15 miles or less, reducing vacation travelwhich accounts for 2.5 percent of the gas used each year-would1 not result in a meaningful fuel savings and would be extremely harmful to tourism,” Ratke pointed out. Auto Club states that significant fuel savings only can be made by reducing near-hoine travel. Two persons car pooling to work daily would save 25 percent on the fuel used weekly by each person. Car pooling for other near-home travel, such as shopping, would save even more fU“Since motorists apparently no longer fear a gas shortage and higher pump prices are commonly accepted, few Michiganians seriously practice good energy-saving driving techniques,” Ratke stated. Six steps to save fuel without Elsie Wolever has recently opened her new Real Estate office at 126 S. Main in Nashville. She worked as a salesperson for Don Hummel Realtors and Stanton Realtors for the past five years. Mrs. Wolever was bom and raised in Vermontville, and graduated from Vermontville High School. Her husband is Lloyd Wolver, and they have two children, Dawn awn 19,, and an Nancy ancy 13.. Prior to her association with the Real Estate business, she worked at Michigan Magnetics, where some of her duties were accounting, insurance, and payroll. ' Mrs. Wolever took courses in accounting at Lansing Community College. Concerning her new business she said, “My husband backs me 100 per cent, and has been a great help.” “I want to help people have the homes they are looking for and be happy,” she continues. Mrs. Wolever intends to be available at the office to assist people from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. with an hour off for lunch from 1-2 p.m. Her office phone number is 852-1501. Feather-foot driving means more mils per gallon as proved by an Automobile Club of Michigan test which showed a good driver can get up to 64 per cent more m.p.g. than a “lead foot.” Auto Club Assistant Touring Manager James Drury matched his good driving techniques—maintaining moderate speeds, accelerating smoothly, keeping a steady pace and minimizing braking—against “poor driver” Les Viland of the Detroit Testing Laboratory in a Nov. 10 performance test in the Detroit area. When it was over, they pointed to the results that showed Viland (left) had used up more gasoline and got only 10.04 m.p.g. with his jackrabbit driving techniques while Drury achieved 16.3 m.p.g. over the same 10-mile urban driving only route. Drury finished only 25 seconds behind Viland, which shows that haste not only wastes gas, but doesn’t result in a meaningful time savings. Both drivers used identically equipped and tuned 1977 cars. The test was conducted to help promote November as Energy Month in Michigan and to show how safe, sensible driving can ensure adequate fuel for vacation and recreational use as well as meeting near-home travel needs. cutting down on travel are suggested by Auto Club as part of its “Gas Watchers” program “to make five gallons of gas work like six.” p Drive at moderate speeds. Most cars get about 21 percent more miles per gallon on the highway at 55 miles per hour than they do at 70 m.p.h. • Accelerate smoothly-save engines, tires and gasoline. • Drive at a steady pace-avoid stop-and-go traffic. • Minimize braking-anticipate speed changes. Release the accelerator as soon as a red light is visible ahead. • Don’t weave in and out of traffic lanes. • Do not let the motor idle for more than a minute if temporarily stopped at a curb. Turn off the engine. It takes less gas to restart than to idle the engine more than a minute.

Court Street, Hastings, Michigan 49058 Phone 945-9554 (Area Code 616) �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, November 24,1976 - Page 12 Nash introduces bill compensating job loss from non-returnable ban State Representative Ernest W. Nash (R-Dimondale) said today he has co-sponsored legislation providing compensation for workers who lose their jobs as a result of voter approval of the ban on nonreturnable beverage containers. The measure (H.B. 6649) would compensate displaced workers at the rate of 75 per cent of their income for a miximum of two years. Nash said he hopes the bill will be passed and signed into law by the Governor yet this year. Under the bill, workers who lose their jobs as a result of the passage of Proposal A will be compensated directly from the state general fund. Funds to support the displaced worker program would not come from an additional tax on business. “I feel that those people who supported Proposal A are not so calloused that they are willing to turn their backs on the worker who might be displaced as a result of its passage,” Nash said. “The people have spoken on this issue; and therefore, the problem of a displaced worker becomes a problem of all the people in Michigan,” he added. Representative Nash opposed Proposal A, claiming the 56th District would be hit hard by it because of the affect it would have on the Owens-Illinois Plant in Charlotte. We’re, of course, not certain at this time exactly what affect the passage of Proposal A will have on Michigan industries whose main business is the manufacture of non-returnable beverage containers. Putnam Public Library “I’m hoping the proponents of Proposal A are correct in that itt will not cause a wide-spread loss of jobs. If they are, we will not The family of Dale H.

Until the November 17 meeting, Eaton Intermediate was part of a regional CEPD composed of Clinton, Eaton, Ingham Intermediate Districts and Portland Public Schools. “The separate CEPD, more narrowly based, more home based, will better serve the needs of our district,” Earl Willmarth, director of Vocational Education said, “because it will be made up entirely of individuals within our ISD.” It will formally become active as a planning group January 1. The present EISD Vocational Education General Advisory Committee chaired by Jerry Brumm ofNashville, will take on the new responsibility of coordinating total career education planning. Members include: representatives from school administration, business and industry, bo'ards of education, and students. Good news for the adult handicapped! Stephen A.

In other action the Board: Approved summer camp for the handicapped and summer school for the trainable mentally impaired for 1977. Both are a continuation of programs that have been in operation for the past few years. Granted tenture from Earl Willmarth the enrollment in EISD Vocational classes has dropped by 100 students, mainly because six fewer sections were offered this year. “We have no expansion capability at all,” Willmarth said.

But, say the accountants, gains under the new law are limited largely to low-income parents, while those in medium to upper brackets may actually lose some of the deductions they have enjoyed. As explained by CPAs, here is how the law favors lower income families: o Couples with lower incomes usually do not itemize deductions because taking the standard deduction saves them tax dollars. Up to now, that has denied them a tax break for child care costs. But now, while using the standard deduction, they can still claim child care benefits. o Even if one spouse works only part-time, or is a full-time student, they can now claim child care benefits. o Child care payments can be paid to a relative, if the relative is not a dependent and if Social Security taxes can be paid on what the individual earns, which is not possible under the ordinary circumstances. The CPA organization .explains that the Tax Reform Act of 1976 replaced the child care deduction with a tax credit. Now, instead of reducing the amount of taxable income, you subtract a credit from the amount of taxes otherwise due. The credit can range up to $400 per year for one child or $800 for two or more. Because the new credit is only 20 percent of the amount spent on child care, taxpayers earning between $10,000 and $35,000 may find the new law brings them substantially less savings than Action-Ads SEPTIC TANK CLEANING: Approved by Michigan Depart­ ment of Health.

Working parents who earn more than $35,000 will benefit, however. Above this level, the old law phased out benefits; the new law does not. All the changes apply to 1976 incomes, which means they affect income tax returns due April 15, 1977. The new law eliminates the. distinction between expenses for child care at home and outside the home; the credit allowed is the same in either case. The Michigan Association of CPAa advise further that the amount of expense qualifying for the credit is limited to the earnings of the spouse with the lower income. And if one of the parents is a full-time student, with no income, the earnings are assumed to be $166 a month if there’s one child, $333 if there are two or more who have to be cared for. The CPA organization estimates that twice as many parents are now eligible for benefits under the new law to the Internal Revenue Service. Want-Ads today!

Santa comes to Nashville STOP Here Comes Santa Claus! Some little people like Becky Corkwell got a bit teary-eyed at the sight of Santa. The snow doesn’t keep Leslie Keesler from saying “hi” to Santa Just as he promised, Santa Claus visited Nashville last Saturday to get Christmas orders from local youngsters. Santa also handed out candy canes that he brought right from the North Pole. Some kids cried, while others wete visibly glad to see their old friend. Santa said he got a wide range of Christmas orders that included bikes, dolls, train sets, games and much more. Santa didn’t stay long be­ cause he had to get back to the North Pole and get his elves working on all the new gifts, so they’d be ready by Christmas...which is only 18 days away! Santa is still waiting for his Christmas letters and said his mailbox is now up in Central Park in Nashville. He said it would be okay to print some of his favorite letters in the Maple Valley News. (Maple Valley News Photos) Lisa and Scott Johnson catch Santa before he leaves Some of the younger set saw Santa for the first time. Shop now for Toys in our Big Bargain Basement Toyland.

League rival Central Montcalm hosted Maple Valley Friday and handed their guests a 72-69 loss. The Lions jumped off to an early lead, but trailed 20-15 by the end of the quarterns a result of the fine shooting of Hornet Clary Houghton, who scored 8 of his 16 points in that quarter. His teammate Randy Reese added 10 of his total 14 points in the second quarter to give the Hornets a 41­ 31 halftime advantage. The Lions adjusted their defense the second half to shut off the hot shooting hosts but were unable to top Central. Duane Schantz led all scorers with 23 points. Brian Mitchell added 16 and teammates Andy Joostberns and Mark Benton netted 14 and 12 points respectively. Saturday the Lions traveled to Caledonia to play a game postponed from Tuesday. The Scotties of Caledonia had to score 94 points to beat the Lions. The final tally was 94-87 in favor of the host Scotties. The Lions played the best game of the young season but were unable to overcome the hot shooting of Scottie Tim Kelly who broke a Caledonia scoring record with 53 points. The Lions led at the end of the first half 46-44. Free throws haunted the Lions as the Scotties hit on 22 of 37 while the Lions connected on 9 of 22. The Lions led in field goals 39-36. ‘ Five Lions hit in double figures. Seniors Mark Benton and Duane Schantz and sophomore Andy Joostberns each scored 18 points. Senior Brian Mitchell and junior Pete Benton netted 16 and 12 respectively. The Lions played a wellbalanced game using their big men to score inside and adding some fine outside shooting from the guards. Andy Joostberns grabbed 16 rebounds for his Lion teammates. Brian Mitchell used his soft touch around the basket to add key buckets. Duane Schantz used his agility to set up his teammates and block shots. The Benton brothers consistantly broke the Scottie press and added an outside shooting threat. Mark had 7 assists. The entire team was very supportive and added the necessary moral support. Coach Reese adds, “The team is playing very well and has a good attitude despite the record. They haven’t lost their enthusiasm and continue to improve. Their balance and determination will make them winners.” Hunting for Insurance? j Shoot straight to Trumble Agency RED TAG Norma Shance ^Auto-Owners Insurance Gene Carr has hundreds of gifts in stock.

Wagon or sleigh rides, snacks, Yule fires, free treats for children and visits by Santa Claus on weekends are offered by many. “One farm even sells Early Amerfcan-style Chrismas toys, while another lists entertainment on weekends,” Ratke added. Michigan’s farms sell several types of trees priced from $1 for Scotch pines to $20 for blue spruce, and up to $35 for flocked (painted) trees. Eleven sell by the foot, varying from 75 cents to $2 for trees four feet and over. Several farms offer trees from eight to 30 feet tall for churches, businesses and other groups. Trees are machine-cleaned of dead needles and snow at seven farms and tree wrapping binding brahches tightly for easy cartop transport - is offered at 31 operations. Most farms have pre­ cut trees as well. “In addition, some offer ‘living’ Christmas trees. Evergreens can be dug up, potted for Christmas display inside and planted outside later,” Ratke said*,' If planning to cut your o4m tree this Christmas, Auto Club offers these recommendations: o Bring a hand saw if going on a weekend to avoid any delays. Although 73 farms lend saws, they may all be in use upon arrival. Axes are not allowed on most farms. o Select a tree to fit needs - and your living room - and saw close to the ground. Most pines and Douglas firs hold needles, while balsams and spruces lose them if not sufficiently watered. o Many farms provide twine to tie trees to cars, but bring some rope. Tie the tree’s base at the front of the car to prevent broken branches when putting it on the roof. o When storing, place trees in a bucket ofwater in a cool area, but don’t let water freeze. o Trees will absorb more water if an inch or two of the base is removed before placing it in the stand, cutting at an angle also helps absorption. < o Fill the stand with water daily. o Avoid placing trees near heating ducts or open flames. “Before decorating any tree, always check lights for frayed wires and make sure electrical outlets won’t be overloaded, Ratke added.

The exercises were varied and provided much merriment as they progressed from verses by the “little beginners” through the recitations by the big eighth grade pupils. Mrs. Laurel Mathews really amazed the group with a reading that she had memorized seventy years ago. Everyone entered into the spirit of the occasion and was most appreciative of the efforts of Dean Hanson in getting the party organized and the Academy in readiness for the festivities. For most of those attending, it was their first time in the building since it had undergone the extensive repair work and all joined in expressing their gratefulness of the Trustees of the Congregational Church for their determination to preserve this historic landmark and to the many friends who have made contributions to see the project become a reality.

Main St,Vermontville Ph.726-0569 �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, December 15,1976 — Page 9 to the editor... Dear Editor: Some time ago the Governor appointed a special committee to study property taxes in Michigan. That body, headed by Lt. Governor, James Daman, has just reported its findings. In essence, these are that Michigan’s property tax structure is one of the fairest I take issue with the report and for the following reasons. 1. Any system of taxation that raises the tax burden as rapidly and consistently as ours by the simple mechanics of raising valuations year after year is uneconomic and unfair. 2. The State mandated criterios of requiring valuations to be judged by a shallow, ambiguous approach known as ‘sales analysis’ is not the proper one to arrive at true cash value. This system works to the detriment of that land owner who owns a farm for farming purposes, that home owner who owns a home for the sake of owning a needed home or that businessman who owns and operates a business for business sake. IT WORKS ONLY IN FAVOR OF THOSE WHO SPECULATE IN PROPERTY VALUES AND SALES. 3. The requirement to set property values at true cash and then to assess the same at fifty percent should be based on long term economic worth and not the value determined by ever growing inflation. 4. The present system has no real correlation between the value that property is taxed for and the ability of that same property to reflect real worth. In other words, a farm, for instance, ought to carry a value that would reflect itself in the ability of that farm to produce and make a livelihood possible for its owner. This on top of the ability to capitalize the cost of that farm over a reasonable number of years. Presently, this is not the case. 5. Our'present property tax structure is held together by a co plicated system of exemptions. If it were as economic and as fair as it ought to be, these exemptions would not be needed, at least to the extent that they are now used. The State of Michigan needs to take a longer, more realistic view of property taxes than that of the report just released. Time is running out. Indeed, it is past time for a more realistic and practical approach. Those who agree with me should contact their Legislators. Sincerely, Edgar Fleetham Commissioner District I + To the Editor, M.S.U.

The health department nurses also worked many hours of overtime to assist in the clinic organization and operation. Mrs. Janet Dunn worked many hours on the distribution'of vaccine, in service for clerical volunteers before and during the clinics, and inventory of supplies before, during, and after the clinics. A special thanks is extended to all these workers and to the countless number of volunteer nurses, physicians, clerks, clubs, church organizations, business establishments, voluntary and governmental organizations, school superintendents, maintenance men, emergency personnel, radio and newspaper personnel for their help and cooperation. This type of program was new to most of these people, yet they did a magnificent job and were well organized, which meant little waiting for those going through the clinic. J.

HELMET HEARING Many “biker” types appeared at the Capitol last week for a hearing on bills to repeal Michigan’s mandatory motorcycle helmet law. Bikers maintained that helmets offer no protection, contribute to accidents, and are unconstitutionally required; the Secretary of State said the law has indeed worked to reduce deaths and injuries.

Box A Nashville, Michigan (Phone, Hastings — 945-9554) Volume 103 - Number 32,Wednesday December 22,1976 Maple Valley board discusses operational millage At regular meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education held Monday evening, December 13, a general discussion was held relative to holding a special election at which time the registered voters would be voting upon addition millage for operational purposes. The board of education decided to contact the Eaton County election committee, and ask this committee to schedule a special election for the Maple Valley Schools sometime in February. Additional operational funds will be necessary if the school district is able to continue a comparable educational program during future school years. This current school year the school district is operating under a projected deficit of $71,224 which is actually being taken out of the general fund balance. Under the present state aid act which is based upon a state-local sharing of funds, the school district could more fully participate in the state aid act if the operational millage were increased. The amount of millage to be voted upon will be set at a board meeting after the school district receives word from the county election committee relative to when a special election will be held. The board members approved the purchase of safety shield guards for the band saw and also the wood lathes at a total cost of $518.50. Approval was also given the purchase of office furniture for the high school principal’s office at an estimated cost of $360.00.

He asks only that we come to Him in humility and child-like faith. After nearly two thousand years His power and forgiveness can still strengthen, bless, and even restore lives all but lost and destroyed. “Peace,” He said, “My peace I leave with you, My peace 1 give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Is not this the message that a weary and frightened world is looking for? In 1976, is it not worthy of our concern and acceptance?

All pesticides should be stored in a cool, dry area, away from food, feed, seed or animals. The storage area should be fire­ resistant, well lit and ventilated, and locked. Store all pesticides in , the original containers. Check containers for leaks or breaks; if a container is damaged, transfer the pesticide to a container that held exactly the same product. Instructions for storage and disposal will be found on the label of the product. However, if more information on proper disposal is wanted, a person can contact his local county agent or the pesticides branch of the EPA Region V office (312 ) 353-2192. Mitchell Wrich, EPA Midwest pesticide branch chief, said farmers should remember that they might have pesticide residues left in or on application equipment. The pesticide residues should be disposed ofjust as carefully as packaged material, said Wrich, explaining that a farmer accidently killed more than a 100 head of cattle this summer by neglecting to properly dispose of some organophosphate insecticide that was vacuumed from the granular applicator mounted on his corn planter. Pesticide branch personnel are available to assist farmers with any questions or problems concerning pesticides. Help can be obained by writing U.S. EPA, Pesticide Branch, 230 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. 60604 (312) 353-2192.

During this 1975-76 session, over 2600 bills were introduced in the House and over 1700 in the Senate; nearly 700 of those were passed and signed into law. The Governor found it necessary to veto 17 bills, a record number for him. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and use extra care when making holiday trips on winter roads. SOUR LEMON - Although the House had approved HB 4576 allowing purchasers to stop payment on automobile “lemons”, the Senate last week defeated the bill for the second time thise year. It will be reintroduced in the 79th Legislature, next year. LIQUOR ACTIONS - The House last week approved SB 71, which moves up the time for Sunday liquor sales from 2 PM to noon; it also allows sales on a Sunday immediately following Christmas, as this year. Earlier, the House passed SB 1367, increasing liquor license fees for the first time since 1962; of the $9 million thus raised, over half goes to local governments.

For more information, you may write Representative Kirby Holmes, State Capitol, Lansing 48909. PBB BILL - Although the House recently approved HB 5846 to provide $3.5 million in loan assistance to farmers with livestock affected by PBB poisoning, parliamentary maneuvering prevented its consideration by the Senate before the end of the session. It is therefore “dead”. SPECIAL SERVICE - The house last week approved HB 6660, which would require that new city buses seating over 30 people whould have to have ramps and hoists to get wheelchairs into the bus, as well as space to secure the wheelchairs inside the bus. ADC DECLINE The Department of Social Services has reported that the November ADC caseload declined for the eighth straight month. This was the first time since December, 1966, that the caseload figure was below the same month of the year before. WORKERS’ COMP - The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled ahat a Michigan law reducing workers’ compensation payments to those over 65 in constitutional, since this distinction has a rational basis in the fact that people over 65 have a reduced wage level due to retirement.

Maple Valley News �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, December 29,1976 — Page 2 How to avoid'd heart attack while shoveling snow— A seasonal snowfall may be a delight to youngsters who revel in bounding through white drifts or sleighing down powdered slopes. That’s fine for the younger set, but if you’re middle-aged and don’t get much exercise - watch it! What’s fun for the kids could be fatal for you. Every winter, a heavy snowfall is followed by heart attack deaths due to over-exertion, warns the Michigan Heart Association. If you’re past 40 years of age, desk-bound at the office and spend most weekends watching television, think twice before grabbing a shovel to clear your sidewalk or driveway of snow. The Michigan Heart Association reports the results of one three-minute test conducted in Minnesota to determine the effects of snow shoveling on the heart. Eleven volunteers, from 45 to 75 years old, were cleared for the test after receiving heart examinations. Five of the eleven had recovered from mild heart attacks. With the weather 14 degrees below zero, the subjects tackled a thick bank of snow with electrodes taped to their chests and connected to radio transmitters in their belts. The strain on their hearts was recorded by an electrocardiograph machine which was monitored by physicians. Two of the volunteers had to be stopped after one minute because the ECG showed their hearts were not getting enough oxygen. Within the three-minute limit, the others showed varying degrees of stress. There is little doubt that this type of exertion over the lengthy period it takes to shovel a drive or sidewalk could have severe effects. The body reacts to cold by constricting- its small arteries, through which blood passes away from the heart to various parts of NOTICE In the upcoming Primary Election, to be held February 21, 1977, there will be a proposal on the ballot which will read, "Shall the Village Council Proceed with the sewer extensions?

Expanded facilities at half of Michigan's ski areas, introduction of hourly rates and more emphasis on families and groups are expected to draw the largest crowds in history to the ski sloaps of Michigan, says the Automobile Club of Michigan. Michigan's 1.2 million alpiners will be able to choose from 58 ski areas, one more than last year. Although one ski area operating last season - TimberLee, near Traverse City — will not open this winter, two others previously closed will reopen with new names and owners. Operators statewide are hoping that investments ranging from $50,000 to $350,000 in new hills, equipment and buildings will lead to a 15 to 20 per cent business expansion, the same as last season. A few lodge operators are projecting increases over 65 per cent Auto Club stated. An improved economy, steadily increasing interest in the outdoors and more people looking for quick mid-winter, minivacations were cited most often by lodge managers as reasons for siding's increasing popularity. “This year, more resorts than ever are making it easy for anyone to learn to ski,” stated Joseph Ratke, Auto Club touring manager. For example, 81 per cent of all ski areas listed on Auto Club’s 1977 guide offer rental equipment, with ski instructions available at 86 per cent Skiers with children will find one-third of all facilities offering babysitting, with many sponsoring nursery ski schools for youngsters able to take to the slopes. In addition, 42 areas offer cross-country skiing, up 27 per cent from last season. One Upper Peninsula resort Brule Mt near Iron River, offers a Michigan first-lighted trails for night cross­ country skiing. Another innovative feature this year is skiing by the hour at Crystal Mt near Thompsonville -Hanson Hills near Grayling (formerly Bear Mt.). The new in northwest Lower Michigan. “You can ski any portion of the owners of Winterskol, with help day you want and pay only for from a new hill and larger lodge, hope to up business 50 per cent that portion. It averages about a over its last season in 1974-75. dollar an hour. There are reduced Hanson Hills an on-and-dff rates for night and mid-week operation the past year - will be skiing as well.
