Committee Chairperson Hildred Peabody and committee member Sharon Stewart announced their tentative plans for the celebration last week, with the annual Suagaring Off party serving as the kick-off event for the year. This year’s sugaring off will be held Feb. 27, where a proclamation will be read to officially open the sesquicentennial. The public is invited to attend and to wear old fashioned attire for the evening. The 1985 syrup queen and court will be inattendance as will the new queen and her court who will be asked to wear early 19th century-type clothing. Continuing the celebration on Saturday, June 21, the sesquicentennial committee hopes to hold a historial homes tour, although, “The committee is still looking for a local organizaiton to sponsor it,” Stewart said. The celebration continues the weekend of July 12 and 13 when the committee holds “Old Timers Weekend.” Some planned activites for the two day event include childrens’ games and a dress-up contest, and adult entertainment such as a beard and-or mustache contest for the men and a bonnet contest for the women. There will also be arts and crafts in the park both days, with a picnic in the park planned for Saturday, the 12th. In addition, the com­ mittee hopes to host a soft­ ball game and horseshoe pitch. Sunday’s activities include covered wagon rides and musical entertainment by the “Dulcimers”. "We’re going to see if we can get a hot air balloon to come too,” said Peabody. Also, a waterball contest is in the works for the weekend event. Stewart noted the com­ mittee is also in search of sponsors for the various old timers weekend activities and prizes. On Oct. 4, the committee, which consists of Esther Sheppard, Joe Ann Nehmer, Linda Ramey, Sue Villanueva, Kate Houck, Hildred Peabody, Sharon Stewart and Pat O’Dell, plans to have Dorothy Carpenter present some type of old time play or ask the elementary school chidren to handle that task. “We’ll also have a hay ride, and a bonfire where we’ll have a hot dog roast, and also a street dance which the fiddlers can come to,” Peabody said. Also, past Maple Valley High School graduates will be invited to attend the activities, and the local 4-H clubs have volunteered to clean and restore the old Vermontville cemetery. The committee will also ask the residents and businesses to display the flag during the festivities. During the syrup festival, a sesquicentennial theme will highlight the parade through town. One goal of the sesquicentennial committee is to instill into the local residents, during this celebration, more admiriationfor the 150-year-old village. “The one thing we really do hope for is that the people become conscious of the community and the village, and in that, give more consideration for the renovation of the opera house,” said Peabody. “We really don’t want to see that taken down.” Vermontville will celebrate its 150th birthday in 1986, with plans for it already underway. Also, the committee hopes to provide a fun and educational year for the residents, and in doing so, promote the community, Vermontville Village Hall at 7 p.m. Anyone wishing more information can contact the village office at 726-1429. Vermontville council settles dispute by Shelly Sulser After a discussion that became heated at times, the Vermontville council voted unanimously Thursday to give Village Street Ad­ ministrator Tony Wawiernia $550, money promised to him in his 1985 wage agreement. In his wage agreement with the village in 1983, in lieu of a wage increase, Wawiernia had requested he receive $8.50 per hour and the cost for he and his wife to attend the annual American Waterworks Association conference (at a cost of about $450) plus $100 for expenses, paid by the village. His request was granted. The dispute arose when Wawiernia was not able to attend the conference in 1985, (because of the death of his father-in-law) but still requested he be given the cost of the conference as was stated in his wage agreement Village treasurer Kay Marsh argued he should not be given the money because he did not attend. Council Trustee Jim Peterson supported Wawiernia and accused the council of being “pennywise and pound foolish.” He told Marsh that if the council did not agree to give Wawiernia the money, they could take it out of his per­ sonal council pay. Wawiernia claimed he made the request in that fashion in order to save the village money. “Yes, I wanted the con­ ference and I wanted Charlie (his wife) to go too,” Wawiernia told the council. He noted that he made the wage request as he did in order to help the village save money. Jan. 14 is ‘Meet the Candidates’ Night’ in Vermontville The 1986 brings blanket of snow January not only brought with it a new year, but also several inches of white stuff from the sky which fell on the Maple Valley and surrounding areas last week. Compared to the way 1985 entered with the great ice storm, most folks Would say they would rather prefer the snow over cold, dark nights in front of the space heater which resulted when last year’s storm knocked out power all over southwest Michigan. Here, street crews in Nashville are kept busy keeping the paths clear for safe travel within the village. More pictures are on page 6.

The sesquicentennial committee meets the last Monday of each month in the “The whole shot is cheaper than taking the (70-cent per hour) increase. I guess I’m stupid in that way that I helped the council out,” he said. The council then agreed to give Wawiernia the money out of the payroll account as it states in his wage agreement. At a prior meeting, the agreement was changed to state that Wawiernia is to receive the money for the conference “when attended.” In other business, the council turned down a request of village resident Ruth Carrier for the village to construct a 96 foot fence on the west side of the Second Street ball diamond. Carrier claimed last summer, a ball had hit the roof of her house trailer and went through the ceiling. One council member noted the ball diamond was there before Carrier’s trailer was put there. A motion was then passed not to build the fence or replace the backstop of the ball field, and a letter would be sent to Mrs. Carrier. The council also agreed to install a warning light at the intersection next to the fire barn to give the emergency vehicles the right-of-way when needed. Also, the council agreed to pay $100 to the Eaton County Sheriff Department for use of their dispatch service, to be paid out of the police fund. Insurance committee chairman Lana Oster reported to the council that the village will be used as an example in a class action suit against the Michigan Municipal League. “This could put Vermotville on the map,” she said, (see related story). Pat O’Dell of the Ver­ montville Chamber of Commerce was present at the Thursday meeting to “cordially inivite all the (council) candidates to ‘Meet the Candidates Night’,” to be held Jan. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Sugar Hut Cafe. She noted the can­ didates should be there at about? p.m. and the public is invited to attend starting at 7:30 p.m. Vermontville being used as example of insurance lawsuit Vermontville Chamber of Commerce will host a “Meet the Can­ didates” Night at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, January 14 at Pat’s Sugar Hut Cafe. At 7 p.m. that same evening, the chamber will meet for its first potluck dinner of the 1986 season at the cafe. Regular members are being urged to attend the dinner and bring a dish to pass. The meeting will be open to the public at 7:30 to meet council candidates, both current members and new hopefuls, who will be running for positions on the Vermontville Village Council. By Shelly Sulser A Livonia law firm plans to use Vermontville’s ex­ perience with the Michigan Municipal League as an example in a class action suit against the insurance company, according to the Vermontville village council. Insurance committee chairperson Lana Oster reported at the council’s meeting Thursday that the Livonia firm of McClory, Acho, Davis and Cummings will file charges against the company in Eaton County Circuit Court for allegedly binding municipalities, such as Vermontville, to illegal contracts. Although the lawsuit won’t cost Vermontville taxpayers any money, the outcome could result in a savings in insurance premiums to the village. Oster said when the village attempted to cancel village insurance with the Burnham and Flower Agency (an agent for the Michigan Municipal League), the company’s co-owner, Homer Flower informed the village it could not cancel until October of 1986 because of an intergovernmental contract that binds the village into the Continued on page 6— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, January 7, W89" — Page 2 1986 Coloring contest winners announced A six-year-old and an eight-year-old are the first place winners of the recent Maple Valley Coloring Contest in their respective age divisions.

From our readers To the Editor: I was astounded at the Jan. 2 Vermontville Village council meeting when the issue reappeared today Tony Wawiernia the amount of money it would have cost to send he and his wife to a conference they never at­ tended. In part of the wage agreement it granted the maintenance supervisor an hourly wage plus annual AWWA conference with spouse paid plus $100 ex­ penses. In 1984 the con­ held at ference was was held at Mackinaw Island lasting three days, all expenses were paid, and while at-tending he received his . regular wage. Tony was unable to attend the “85” conference due to illness in the family, and he asked the council to pay him the money that would have been spent on the con­ ference. This was brought up at the October meeting, with much discussion, but was tabled till the November meeting, during which time the wage committee could meet. At the November meeting the wage committee made recommendations to change the wording to that part of the wage agreement stating hourly wage plus annual AWWA conference attended with spouse paid, $100 ex­ penses. This was passed all ayes with the exception of Jim Peterson. I assumed by adding the word attended, (and it was voted upon) no money would be paid, also assuming as others did the issue was settled, due to the fact nothing more was said. Now two months later Tony had it put back on the agenda. When . an When anemployer, employer,(in (inthis this situation it is the taxpayers with representing tthem)council sends their employee to a conference it’s with the intention that the person p gain information that could in turn better him in his job. Sending a person to a con- ference is a benefit to the employer. By granting Tony the money that would have been spent on the conference, which he didn’t attend, turns it into a wage benefit, which is for he and his wife to have the luxury of spending three days on Mackinaw Island staying at the Grand hotel with all expenses paid plus giving them $100 extra, along with his regular pay while being there. This is what one would call a taxpayers JUNKET!!!! This was voted, yes. by every council member in­ cluding the major. I commend Kay Marsh for speaking out at the meeting saying, “This is not right using taxpayers money this way.” As a result she received verbal insult as well as undertones from certain council members. I as a taxpayer, disap­ prove of the council’s on this issue. Sending an employee to a conference to update education is expected, but why should we have to pay if he does not attend? Why should taxpayers pay for his wife’s expense. She’s not an employee. Before this vote was taken Jim Peterson saicj, “Council would be cheap if they didn’t give Tony the money, and if council turned his request down he would have it taken out of his (Peterson’s) yearly council pay”. I think a donation should be equally divided between all seven voting members to repay that money to the village.

Si Governor Blanchard has proclaimed January as Eye Health Care Month in sup­ port of a nationwide effort by ophthalmologists (eye physicians and surgeons) to encourage Americans to take action to reduce the high incidence of unnecessary blindness. The Governor issued the proclamation in response to requests from medical and osteopathic eye physicians throughout the state, and from comedian Bob Hope, whose recent successful eye surgery prompted him to espouse the cause as Chairman of National Eye Health Care Month. According to Raymond R. Margherio, M.D., President, Michigan Ophthalmological Society, statistics provided by the National Society to Prevent Blindness point up the scope of the problem, and the opportunity to do something about it. “Nearly 11.5 million persons in the U.S. - one in every 19 suffer some degree of eye damage,” Dr. Margherio said, “and 47,000 Americans become blind each year.” “The National Society to Prevent Blindness estimates that 50 percent of all blind­ ness can be prevented, and we seek the cooperation of all to reach that goal,” he said. The Michigan Ophthalmological Society is suggesting a three-point program. Members of the public are urged to prevent eye injuries at work and play by wearing protective glasses. Support is urged for legislative reforms, including banning the sale of fireworks, making corneas more available, and legislation encouraging medical care. The Start the New Year Right...

A good layer of snow facilitated transportation of the heavy loads, as seen in this 1910 photo taken near Levering. Wintertime also was conducive to logging since farmers were no longer busy with field crops. Mill proprietor A. W.

The village first awarded its insurance bid to Burnham and Flower in October of 1984, a policy they chose to renew in October of 1985. But after the insurance rate doubled from $6,000 to $12,000 dollars, the village sought another company to handle its insuranca Oster said John Oros from the Michigan Consulting Managers of Kalamazoo offered the village the same type of insurance package for $6,500, and that the village hopes to enter an agreement with the com­ pany upon its cancellation with the Burnham and Flower company. But Oster said Burnham and Flower refuses to cancel the policy in view of the contract signed by Ver­ montville Village Clerk Sharon Stewart and President Sue Villanueva in August of 1985. Oster claims the contract is not binding because there was no resolution adopted by the council to enter into the agreement, a needed action the village was not aware of prior to signing the contract. Also, Oster says the date line was not complete and the six page contract was not represented by Burnham and Flower agents. “We did not know the contract was binding us to Michigan Municipal League for two years,” Oster said. “We assumed that the contract was for one year of good insurance from Bur­ nham and Flower but in- COUPON Have your R.V. and boat seats upholstered now.

Also, she said Oros thought the contract could possibly be in violation of a federal fair trades act. Oster noted that no charges against the com­ pany have been filed as of yet, but some briefing among the attorneys con­ cerning the subject is currently underway. “It’s a complaint against MML where they will use Vermontville as an exam­ ple,” Oster said. “There may be other municipalities that have the same type of contract that they need to get out of.” She also noted that if the matter goes to court and the contract is found not legal and binding, (at no cost to the village), the village and other municipalities could be released from those agreements, with insurance premiums reimbursed with a 10 percent short-rate cancellation fine. Oster said she hopes the village can regain its premium already paid to Burnham and Flower and that the case will set a precedent for future business. Michigan Consulting Managers made the initial contact to the Livonia law firm to see if its corporate attorneys were interested in such a suit.

MAIN, NASHVILLE 852-9192 — CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT — A 93-year-old retired county minister died on New Year’s Day at her residence. Rev. Lila F. Manker, of 235 E. Blair St., Hastings, began her ministry in her late forties and continued it for 41 years. She is thought to hold the record for having served more years as a minister in Barry County than any other county woman. Mrs. Manker was born on Dec. 4,, 1892 in Irving Township, the daughter of John and Ida (Cartlidge) Cairns. She was raised in that township and attended rural schools there. She later graduated from Hastings High School in 1912. She then went on to attend Barry County Normal, receiving her teacher’s certification. She was married to Rev. Bernard E. Manker on March 18, 1916. While he ministered, she taught school in those areas where they lived, including Elkton, Sault Ste. Marie, Ellsworth, Merrill, and Flint. They returned to the Hastings area in 1939. During that time the couple had five children. It was in 1939 that Rev. Manker received her calling and entered the ministery now Grace Church in Hastings. She was ordained by the former Pilgrim Holiness Church (now affiliated with the Wesleyan Church) in 1940. She pastored _ __a__t t_h_e Wesleyan Church for 23 years, seeing the congregation grow from a handful to 100 members. During that time the church expanded its size and then later built a new facility at its current Hanover Street location. After leaving the Wesleyan Church in 1962, she did some evangelistic work. Then in 1970 she began a second local ministry at the Stoney Point Free Methodist Church on State and Wellman Roads. She remained with that church for 10 years. Rev. Manker also served many other churches in the area as a guest pastor over the years. She finally retired in 1980, but remained activee as an assistant Sunday School teacher. She was still teaching private piano lessons in her home at the time of her death. Rev. Manker was a member of the Grace Wesleyan Church. Rev. Manker is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Donald (Mae) Flisher of Charlevoix; 4 sons, Roy Manker of Sebring, Fla., Rev. Wesley Manker of Lansing, Rev. Charles Manker of Petoskey, and Bernard Manker of Crawfordsville, Ind.; plus 14 grandchildren, 21 great­ grandchildren; a sister, Mrs. Lenora Sedick of Bradenton, Fla.; and a brother, Gerald Cairns of Freeport. She was preceded in death by her husband, Rev. Bernard E. Manker on Sept. 19, 1960. Funeral services were held at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 4, in the Grace Wesleyan Church, with Rev.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 114 - No. 27 —Tuesday, January 14, 1986 Council approves tapping trees in local cemetery by Shelly Sulser The Nasvhille Village Council voted 5-1 Thursday in favor of allowing the Nashville Syrup Association to tap the trees in Lakeview cemetery. The action came after a letter of request from Tim Smith and Tom Oleson of the association and was read to the council by President John Hughes. Although the letter was addressed to the cemetery board, “We own the cemetery, we appoint the cemetery board,’’ said Hughes. Last syrup season, the cemetery board made the decision to not permit the association to tap the trees in the cemetery. “Last year, nothing was said to us about this and consequently, there was no tapping in the cemetery which I disagreed with when I found out about it,’’ Hughes told the council. He added that he learned in April that the two men were told they could not tap the-trees in the cemetery. “My feeling is that the council should make that decision,” said the council president. “The council is the visible body, it can be seen. The people on the cemetery board are only responsible to us, in a sense, and if somebody has a complaint about them tapping the trees, then it should be brought to us.” The council passed the motion, with only Richard Furlong voting no and Dick commercial facilities exemption certificate gives new business builders a tax break while buildings are under construction.

The $609.68 raised by the Nashville residents at the September event will benefit the St. Judes Childrens Research Hospital. In a letter from the associate regional director of the hospital, Ronald Casabella thanked the Nash­ ville participants for the “outstanding job you did with your bike-a-thon....you were a major part of our success, and we appreciate your concern and dedicaiton to children with catastrophic diseases.” Merle Sears of Nashville raised the most money for the hospital, a total of $345, while her son Randy took in $77 and daughter April earned $37 in the bike-a-thon. Others earning prizes for the fund raiser were Venus Smith, Michelle Smith, Timothy Bracy, Keith Metz and Barbara Claypool. 'Pioneer' of Maple Valley Co-op Nursery resigns post by Shelly Sulser Merry Ossenheimer, a woman who has spent the past 11% years working with youngsters at the Maple Valley Co-op Nursery, has decided to resign to accept a different teaching position. Ossenheimer has worked with three, four and five year-olds and watched the nursery grow from a beginning enrollment of 16 in 1974 to its current 52 students. “I decided that since I was working four days a week (at the nursery) it wouldn’t make any' difference if I worked one more. Instead of working part-time, I was ready to start teaching full time,” Ossenheimer said. “I really enjoy working with the preschoolers,” Ossenheimer said. “It was hard to leave, it really was.” Ossenheimer said the biggest gain she got from working with the children was “a feeling that maybe that some of the children when leaving the nursery school were more ready for school, more independent, would be more cooperative with adults, wouldn’t have a problem with separation from parents, and maybe they would have a little more pride in themselves and feel a little better about them­ selves.” She is already at work in her new position with the Maple Valley School system, teaching the first grade transition room at Maplewood Elementary School in Vermontville. The Maple Valley Co-op nursery was started in the spring of 1974 by a group of mothers who felt there was a need for such a school. At first there were two classes that met twice a week whereas now, the classes meet four times a week. The nursery was formed by the mothers so their children could get together in a play and structured situation so they could, learn to get along with other children and learn some readiness skills for school and to experience some emotional and physical growth. Ossenheimer is the wife of school board member Dale Ossenheimer and has two children, Lee and Christin. Continued on page 11 — �The Mople Valley News.

Community Aide & Staff Elizabeth Bodo Laura Fuentes Pam Hunter Doris Rounds Calvin Wambaugh To the Editor: Every community has its quiet people, the stalwarts who are “always there”. They do not arouse a lot of fan-fare but over the years they contribute so much to the wellbeing of everyone. Without them we would all be the loser. I feel it most appropriate to recognize one such family in the Ver­ montville area. I am thinking of Robert and Helen Todd. The oc­ casions may be many and varied but Bob, Helen and Ruth Ann are always there. It may be in the Church service, at a Church func­ tion, the historical society, the syrup festival or any number of community ac- tivities, and the Todds are present and participating and supporting. Both Bob and Helen have had problems of health and even been hospitalized or confined for a time. They always bounce back. People like the Todds do not seek public acclaim. They merely go about living, loving and serving in an everyday manner. I nominate them as prime candidates for recognition as “Family of the Year” and wish for their health and happiness in the year ahead. Sincerely Your, Edgar Fleetham Eaton County Commissioner To the Editor: Again, it’s time to set the record straight, to let the public know that their trusts are not being violated nor their dollars wasted. It is my opinion based on fact that the current council is a conscientious entity and makes every attempt to act in the best interest of everyone - that is what they are elected to do. Un­ fortunately, as reported (in a letter to the editor) in this paper last week, it would appear that just the opposite has taken place. It would behoove all candidates for council to make sure that they have all of the information and facts to base their opinions before voicing them and damaging the reputation of our local government that is striving to improve this village, particularly the maintenance department. This village should con­ sider itself fortunate after realizing the situations in some of the surrounding areas. Our DPW has maintained equipment that should have been replaced long ago, and along with a few new vital pieces, has kept this villge in operation at minimum expense to the taxpayers. The council does not hire private individuals with particular skills to take care of these repairs, neither Get a New Look i for the New Year 5? ALL WALK-INS WELCOME ASK FOR DOROTHY Irene’s Beauty Shop 204 NORTH MAIN ST., NASHVILLE • 852-9107 does it employ the state to maintain sewer and water systems in the village. However, we are privileged to have a DPW that keeps itself trained and updated with the largest information in systems management at a fraction of the cost of private con­ tracting. This results in a substantial savings to the village and this fact was made evident in 1983. At a village council meeting, Sept. 1, 1983, motion made by - Hale, supported by Prescott reads as follows: To adopt the following wage scale ef­ fective for hourly em­ ployees, Oct. 1, 1983, maintenance supervisor $8.50 per hour plus annual AWWA conference with spouse paid, $100 expenses, maintenance workers- $7.73 per hour. Before that motion was approved (at the same Sept. 1, 1983 meeting), Wawiernia and O’Dell were offered a 50-cent hour raise which would cost the village an additional $2,000 in paid wages. Being cost-conscious, Wawiernia realized that the village could benefit even more if he declined the raise and accepted the agreement in the wage package con­ taining the AWWA con­ ference. Knowing the total cost of the conferences is much less than the prospecitve wage increase plus the added knowledge gained by the village from these conferences convinced the council to accept and appreciate what the DPW does for this community. Thus, the wage package remained the same, minus the 50-cent raise, and was voted upon and has been in effect and is currently the same until March 1, 1986. Recently, there has been some discussion concerning this wage agreement and subsequent paid conference. Because of some disention between certain members of the council and taking into consideration the opinions from the general public, the following statement has been agreed and voted upon and is to be added to the 1986 wage agreement, amending the previous statement of 1985; maintenance supervisor $8.76 per hour plus annual AWWA conference attended with spouse paid, $100 ex­ penses plus cost of living allowance (36-cent base with 10-cent cap), maintenance worker - $7.73 per hour plus cost of living allowance (36­ cent base with 10-cent cap).

As concerned citizens, taxpayers that you are, be sure that you do not pull the lever at random. For every choice that you make, be sure that the person selected is the very best for that seat, will represent you fairly, will make him or herself available to you, and will ultimately support the village in its effort to move forward in all facets of local government, committees and employees.

(F-118) ADISE” �The Maple Volley News, Nashville, Tuesday, January 14, 1986 — Page 4 Memories of the pas by Susan Hinckley Glimpse of life 79 years ago Some 79 years ago, local resident Effa Dean made a train trip from her Maple Grove Township home ' to sunny California, and she shared that experience with the folks back home via letters that were submitted for publication in The Nash­ ville News. Miss Dean was a keen observer, and recorded interesting accounts of the various sights she noted during the week-long rail journey. (Eight years later News publisher Len W. Feighner made a similar cross-country trip and shared those 1914 views with his readers in columns, which we featured last fall in a series of Memories). Today, such first-hand ac­ counts give us a glimpse of an earlier day, and the ad­ vances time has brought in travel, agriculture, industry, etc. Miss Dean was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George 0. Dean, and in later years lived with her parents when they moved to 525 Reed Street in the village. Her brother* William 0. Dean, Nashville’s beloved beekeeper-poet, was featured in a Memories story in May 1984. Other brothers were Rial, George B., and Aurie Dean. Los Angeles, CA Dec. 3,1906 Dear Folks at Home: The time has passed so rapidly since my arrival that I have neglected writing you as much as I intended about my journey. However, this rainy morning I shall try to forget the beauties of California and the interests BtaU* Capitol Building, Denver, 1906 Above, right, is Colorado's state capital at Denver in 1906, the year that Nashville resident Effa Dean traversed the state by train en route to California, noting large flocks of sheep, herds of cattle and "some cowboys" along the way. At upper left is the state's first capital at Colorado City, now Colorado Springs — a town Miss Dean called "beautiful," and at which point she and fellow passengers alighted during a brief train stop to "improve the opportunity to test the rare atmosphere of that altitude." In this Dean family photo, Effa is seen seated at right, next to her parents George O. and Susan (McKelvey) Dean. From left in back row are her brothers Aurie, George B., William O., and Rial. The father was a Civil War veteran who came to Michigan from his native New At a rail station in Chicago, Miss Dean became separated from her traveling companion for the remainder of the journey to California, both women later arriving in that state on different trains. "Her section of the train left the station first,", wrote Effa, "and the last I saw of her (at Chicago) she was standing on the steps of her car calling something to me which I could not understand." This scenic postcard of a new Northwest Depot in Chicago was postmarked at that city in 1913. of our friends here with which I have always filled my letters. You remember we had snow when I left home. Before reaching Deactur this had entirely disappeared. At Michigan City the train stopped a sufficient time to enable us to get a fine view of the sand hills and the waves dashing against the break­ waters. The lake was rough, and the waves and white caps rolling up made a grander scene than I ever witnessed there... Four and one-half hours after leaving Battle Creek we were in the Chicago station, patiently awaiting our train while the rain poured outside, little dreaming we were to be separated the remainder of the journey, as I have already told you. Mrs. Mason has written me that she didn’t stand the trip very well and was sick about two weeks after reaching Berkeley. As I was too tired for sightseeing when I reached the Oakland pier, I think it was better that I came on and did not stop as I had intended. Mrs. Mason said her trunk was broken in pieces and I heard a number of people who came here say the same about their York following the conflict, and settled in Maple Grove Township. In 1920 the elder Deans moved into the village, residing the balance of their years at 525 Reed Street, as did daughter Effa, who never married. baggage, but mine came thru in good condition. Mrs. Mason’s section of the train left the station first and the last I saw of her she was standing on the steps of her car calling something to me which I could not un­ derstand. I left soon after and when I awoke the next morning saw the sun shining brightly upon Iowa. At Des Moines our train made a short stop and at Council Bluffs we had a fine opportunity to see the muddy Missouri, the border line between Iowa and Nebraska, and the surrounding bluffs, which had nothing but a few shrubs growing upon them. Between Omaha and Lincoln where the railroad runs along Flat River, cars were being loaded with sand from the river bottom by means oflarge scoops, which were dipped down into the water, lifted again into the air with their dripping load of sand, drawn along a track and dumped into the cars, standing some distance away, by means of ropes and pulleys. In some places the entire width of the river was like a bed of sand with possibly one deep channel, while in other places the whole river bed was covered with shallow water. One of the passengers whose home was near there told me that the river was constantly changing. Sometimes the channel thru the quicksand was in one place, sometimes in another and again spread out over the whole river bed. In Iowa and Nebraska we passed thru vast fields of ripe corn, but in most cases still bearing its ears. In Iowa I saw what appeared to be fields of oats, cut but not drawn, and in Nebraska we passed many fields of hay, some still uncut, some in the swath and other fields dotted with small, long stacks apparently only recently drawn. It was night when we passed thru the greater part of Kansas and upon looking out early the next morning we saw snow banks five or six feet in height along the track, remnants of the recent blockade and the first snow I had seen since leaving home. We were then passing thru part of the barren grazing country of western Kansas and eastern Colorado, where there were no signs of life except now and then a small hutt or an occasional large flock of sheep or herd of cattle and some cowboys. Before reaching Linion, Colorado, a small railroad station, Pike’s Peak ap­ peared in the distance. Our train was then about six hours late and it was not until afternoon of Thursday that we reached beautiful Colorado Springs. Here and at Pueblo our train stopped some time and I, with a majority of the passengers, improved the opportunity to test the rare atmosphere of that altitude. Royal Gorge was not reached until night, but, excepting possibly the ab­ sence of the various colors of the rocks, I doubt if Old Sol himself ever witnessed a sight more sublime than the moon as she looked down upon the rushing waters, the grandeur of the rocks and ■the trains winding their way serpent-like along the river bed. I shall not attempt to describe it for I realize that it is grand beyond all description that those of you who have seen it have ever given me, and like Niagara, one must see the reality, not the picture, to even com­ prehend in part the magnitude and granduer of the place. All day Friday we spent in the Rockies. The beauty of the ever changing hues of the rocks was a pleasant sur­ prise to me - so unlike the few rocks among the Alleghany mountains. I didn’t imagine one could travel over seven hundred miles of country which was ever changing in size, shape and magnificent coloring as those rocks and mountains do. It was nearly night when we passed Castle Gate, that huge rock standing out like a gate ajar between the mountains. The next morning we passed stretches of level table lands and valleys with here and there small set­ tlements or herds of cattle and large flocks of sheep, also orchards where apples were grown by means of irrigation. The apples from these orchards, tho fine looking, were flat and tasteless as compared with our Michigan apples. I was disappointed in not seeing Salt Lake City thru which we passed during the night, reaching Ogden by midnight. At about six o’clock Saturday morning we crossed Great Salt Lake. When half way across our train side-tracked on the bridge alongside a long freight waiting for a train to pass. I got off the car. At first Continued on next page— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville.

If I remember correctly the bridge is about thirtyfive miles in length. Where we stopped were three tracks with quite a space at each side and the whole bridge covered with gravel. The water of the lake was still as far as the eye could see and the air cool and bracing. Soon we were on our way across the lake and into the Great Salt Desert. About the only thing on the desert was the coaling station where our engine stopped to coal. This con­ sisted of one adobe hut having three doors, one to each apartment (or more correctly each room). The doors of the hut were open and the curious passengers looked in upon a dirty bed, a stove, a small table, some dry goods boxes and sacks of provisions piled in one side of the rooms, the humble home of the men who were coaling our engine.

January 14, 1986 — Page 6 Nashville man finds talent for wood carving. Hal and Barbara Noble enjoy bird watching, as well as recreating bird figures. Noble holds one of his creations, while Barbara displays a ceramic goose she painted. by Shelly Sulser A talent Nashville man Hal Noble never knew he had was revealed to him one afternoon when he had a notion to to pick up a jackknife and a block of wood. The lifelike bird figure that resulted inspired Noble to continue in his new-found carving skill which even­ tually led to a second place prize in the Ward Foundation World Competition in 1983 and a first place in the North American Decoy Carving Championship, as well as numerous other awards.

I had a little block of wood lying on the coffee table and I picked it up and carved a chickadee.” Now, four years and more than 100 songbird and wild duck carvings later, Noble is still actively involved in practicing his talent. “I’ve got birds in Canada, California, Colorado and Florida,” Noble said of carvings he has sold. Also, local people have purchased pieces of Noble’s work, in­ cluding a Hastings doctor. Both avid bird watchers, Noble and his wife, Barbara, have three bird feeders in their Washington Street yard and decorate their home with numerous bird pictures and collections.

After Noble discovered he had a knack for carving, he decided to develop his talent by studying various birds and their feather patterns, in order to make the carvings as realistic as possible. One room in his home contains a number of books and magazines that show various types of bird photographs which Noble uses to study. “It’s amazing how you can make a peice of wood look real,” he said, also adding, “you don’t realize how many Many hours pass by without as Hal Noble works to feathers a bird has until you meticulously carve one of his skillful creations. start (to carve them).” Another aid Noble uses is the real thing, birds that he has frozen, in order to fur­ ther help him to carve the feather patterns and paint the colors accurately. • Good Selection of Calico “You have to study the • Authentic Patterns for birds and see how he carries his wings and how he drags Centennial Costumes Available his tail,” he said.

He (a bird) has to be a certain size And if he’s too small, they’ll take him out,” said Noble. He added that the birds can not have any cast parts on them to compete, and if it is a decoy competition, it must be proved that the bird can float. Although he uses acrylics to paint the various colors on the birds, Noble noted some people prefer the burned look. This is accomplished by using an electric burner that heats a sharp blade. The fine lines are then applied to the bird which creates the textured effect. A former salesman for Wendell’s Sporting Goods in Woodland, Noble said he had never had an interest in wood carving prior to learning of his talent. “He can draw well,” his wife said but Noble adds, “I never pursued it.” Although he used to enjoy Hal Noble of Nashville burns in the fine lines on a Maple Valley Schools LUNCH MENU Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High and Kellogg Schools Lunch Monday, Jan. 20 Tostizza, Green Beans, Peaches.

But in terms of his ability, the modest Noble said, “If I can do it, anybody can.” He added that he spends so much time carving because he strives for perfection. “He can’t just carve a plain bird,” said his wife. “He has to keep at it until he can make it look as real as possible.” She added that “He doesn’t realize how long he sits and Start The New Year This bird won second place in a carving competition. does that either. Sometimes he says it doesn’t seem like he has been doing it very long but he can sit like that for over an hour.” He also noted that sometimes “I get real en­ thused and sit for days doing this.” Noble has found that there is a bit of demand for his work and is usually con­ stantly busy filling orders or doing repair work. He was even asked to teach wood carving in the community education program at Maple Valley. But the key to his success is time. Noble notes that if he feels rushed or anxious, he can not perform as expertly as if he were working under a relaxed situation. “You don’t want to blow it because you can louse something up real easy,” said Noble. “That’s the way itisandpeople don’t realized it.” On the average, Nobe said it takes about a week to complete one carving. Especially when he is preparing for a contest, Noble said he takes extra special care to make the bird Awards will be given to the top three finishers, male and female.

Vol. 114 • No. 28 — Tuesday, January 21, 1986 Council candidates present views during open forum A though attendance on the part of residents was almost nill at the Vermontville Chamber of Commerce’s “Meet the Candidates Night*’ Tuesday, some timely local issues were discussed by the candidates. Beveraly Sue Villanueva, village president running for reelection, told those in attendance that she would like to see a senior citizen housing project completed in Vermontville. She also ex­ pressed her hope to see Nashville Highway resur­ faced this summer as promised by the Eaton County Road Commission, in order to encourage more visitors and business customers to enter the village. Bill Bailey, a candidate for a four-year trustee seat said he would like to see something accomplished for the “younger generation” in Vermontville as far as en­ tertainment. Sharon Stewart, in­ cumbent clerk hoping to retain her position, said “I was appointed by the council to fill the vacancy left by Diane Casteele...I’ve learned a lot. I’ve been able to keep the books up to date. I like working with the council and I want to continue to work to accommodate them.” Rod Harmon, a candidate for a two-year trustee term noted that “it is important to think about Vermontville’s past, but it is just as im­ portant to think of its future.” Kay Marsh, unopposed in the election for village treasurer, would also like to see the housing project completed in Vermontville. Donald Lewis, running for village president, said, “I’ve been on the council for 10 years and I’ve seen a lot of changes. I never make promises and I agree on the housing project.” Lewis noted he has talked to a private contractor who seems interested in the project. Linda Ramey, in the race for a two-year council term, said, “I’m very much in favor of the apartment complex. If we don’t get it, I think the village is going to die, I really do.” She added that she hopes to serve on the committee that oversees the project. Also, Ramey noted she is in favor of having a walking path installed in the village and “I’m very much in favor of the opera house repairs. If it’s not repaired, it’s gonna come down, I’m sure." Joe Ann Nehmer, hoping to win her bid for a four-year council trustee seat, said “I’m proud to live in Ver­ montville and I’d like to see my children grow up here and continue here. I think a senior citizen housing complex is the answer to some of our problems.” Doug Durkee, a four-year trustee candidate, realized the importance of com­ munity involvement. He noted that some issues spur much activity and interest while other events and ac­ tivities receive little interest. “There needs to be a com­ promise... we need to do what we see is in the best interest of the people...” Russ Bennett, vying for a two-year council seat, Vermontville Village Council candidates gathered at the Sugar Hut Cafe last Tuesday night to give residents chance to meet the candidates. Issues of concern seemed to be the opera house, financial future of the village and the area roads. mentioned that he has a project in mind that "I’m not at liberty to disclose at this time,” he said. He added he is in favor of the housing project. Ricki Hill, in the race for village clerk, said she believes a person should use their skills and talents to help their own community. Roger Trowbridge, a candidate for a four-year trustee seat was not present. Another subject discussed as a major concern in the village of Vermontville is the need for local revenue to put the village on the upswing financially. Councilman Jim Peterson who is not seeking reelection to his post, is especially concerned with Verntvilie’s future. Peterson stated at the joint public meeting of the Ver­ montville Chamber of Commerce and council candidates that the village needs revenue and needs to find a way to bring big business to the town. “We need revenue. We don’t generate enough (revenue) for the amount of expenditures we have,” he said. He pointed out that the village has no visible way of attracting business to Vermontville because there is no major thoroughfare in the village and no major businesses, with the ex­ ception of Michigan Magnetics. “We lost our old drugstore building, it’s now a parking lot,” he noted. “And I don’t want to see the other buildings do the same.” “I think...the newspaper can help, the chamber of commerce, the township and the village in a joint effort as far as getting these businesses here,” Peterson added. “We’ve got to generate an interest in the community. We do have available lands that could be used (for businesses to build)," he said. Another issue of concern in Vermontville is the future of the old Opera House. Currently, the township is investigating a possible millage proposal to be placed on the November 1986 ballot to generate funds to repair the historic landmark for use as a community center. Village President Sue Villanueva pointed out that should the millage vote be rejected and no other funds become available, the village would not only lose its proposed community center and historic building, but also the library which is housed in the building’s basement. Vermontville’s primary election will be held Feb. 17, followed by a March 10 general election. The deadline to register to vote is Jan. 20. V®rm°nJX'l1,e coundl candidates discuss local matters at the ’Meet the Candidates Night held last week. Combined position being posted by Maple Valley The Maple Valley School board voted 6-1 in favor of posting and making available the new combined job of director of tran­ sportation, facilities and equipment. This action came after considerable discussion concerning the matter at the board's Jan. 13 meeting when a school custodian, Kim Hansen, in attendance said he didn’t think the custodial supervision should be combined with tran­ sportation Hansen told the board that when he was hired in the district as a custodian six years ago, he had originally wanted the job of tran­ sportation supervisor. At that time, Hansen said he was advised that maybe he should take the custodial position instead, and wait for the time when there was a need in the district for a maintenance supervisor. Now, by the board com­ bining the jobs of custodial supervisor and tran­ sportation supervisor, it is impossible for anyone besides the current tran­ sportation supervisor (Gerald Aldrich) to be eligible for the job, he said. “There is no way (for the current custodians) to step up the way you’re setting it up,” Hansen told the board. Hansen also added "we know more about the buildings than he does.” In board discussion con­ cerning the matter, it was decided the board should post the non-union job and make it available to union as well as non-union employees in the district, although the position itself will remain non-union. Board member LeRoy Sleeper cast the only no vote against posting the com­ bined position of director of transportation, facilities and equipment. The board also voted to approve a contract, to expire in June of 1986, for Aldrich that includes a four percent increase, substitute bus driving reimbursement and continued payment for substitute bus driving and fringe benefits to be the same as the administrators. His contract is retroactive to July 1, 1985, when the board failed to approve a new contract for Aldrich when the old one expired. In other business, the board approved a proposal made by Maplewood Principal Bill Christiansen for a developmental kin­ dergarten class, called “Young Fives,” to be im­ plemented in the district. The class will be held, at Maplewood school in Ver­ montville, but will benefit children in both Nashville and Vermontville by serving as an alternative kin­ dergarten class for those children not academically eligible for regular kin­ dergarten. The new program will begin at Maplewood in the fall. Christensen said he was pleased with the board’s decision. “We’ll start it by testing children in the spring and then the class will begin in the fall,” he said, although at this point, he is not sure who will teach the class. Christensen added that response from the public concerning the program was favorable. Also at the meeting last week, Maple Valley Com­ munity Education Coor­ dinator Kay Hartzler told the board there are more than 20 people enrolled in the computer class, which is “the most I’ve ever seen in that class.” She added that they are all people who already have their diplomas. Lakewood Community Education Director Darryl Hartzler also spoke, telling the board about an alter- native education program in the Lakewood system that may be beneficial at Maple Valley He noted the class is for youth who have dropped out of school, been expelled, orjust don’t feel comfortable in the normal school setting. He said the students are taught with the “one room school house” philosophy, with all the students taught by one teacher at a location away from the high school. “The setting is loose in some forms and in other forms it is tighter,” Hartzler said. “It is much «more concentrated and in­ tensified.” By letting the youth learn at their own pace and in a way they can understand, Hartzler said “we have seen some miraculous changes.” In other business, the board: —Accepted the resignation of Maplewood teacher Judy Rohr. —Approved a contract for Merry Ossenheimer ef­ fective Jan. 6 through June 6, 1986 with a salary of $10,121.46 to teach the first grade transition room at Maplewood school in place of Judy Rohr. —Agreed to seek bids to sell school equipment in­ cluding a 1974 Ford Station Wagon, a 1968 International Truck with plow, a 1977 school bus, and a 1973 school bus. —Voted to seek bids for the district to purchase three vehicles (two school buses and a vehicle to transport special education students.) The cost for the special education vehicle will be covered by funds through the Eaton Intermediate School District. —Decided to hold a special dinner meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 24 in the high school cafeteria in ap­ preciation of the work from members of the citizen’s advisory committee. �Th. Mopl* Volley Noahvilto. Tuetdoy, Jonuory 21, 1986 — Poge 2 Maplewood students put town in national spotlight by Michelle Suber A last minute decision by Maplewood teacher Linda Andres proved to be the right decision last month after a project her students produced was shown on a nationally telecast television show called “America". Andres, who has taught at Maplewood Elementary School in Vermontville for the past 15 years, helped her third and fourth grade students to make snowmen out of contraction paper. "Each snowman had mittens that had letters that spelled ‘Merry Christmas America',*’ said Andres She added one snowman held a sign that read, “Maplewood Elementary School, Ver­ montville, Michigan”. Andres sent her students’ Christmas artwork to the TV show, filmed in Hollywood and hosted by McClean Stevenson and Sarah Pur­ cell, after a friend told her the show accepted such projects. Although the television program receive hundreds of pieces of mail, only a few are actually aired on the show. Not only did the America talk show feature the Maplewood students’ projects, it also announced the school and the teacher’s names. “I'm shocked it went on on Christmas Eve,” said An­ dres earlier this month. She said she had sent the 21 paper snowmen to the show Dec. 11. Since the show, Andres and her class received a letter from the show’s assistant producer Janet Buck expressing her gratitude for the student’s interest in their country. “Although we aren’t able to respond to everyone who sent us a Christmas picture, I felt it necessary to write to you. When we received the snowmen your class put together, it made my day!,” Buck said in her letter. She went on to add, “Everyoneon the staff loved it We even hung it up in our conference room for all to see during our meetings. Thank you again, for your contribution to America, Paramount Studios, Hollywood.’’ Also, after the program (which has since been cancelled) aired the Maplewood artwork, the class received state recognition as well. A letter from State Representative Earnest Nash said, “...It is wonderful that you have demonstrated your patriotism in this way. Great job and kee the good work ” Several news arti ave been written al/ the patriotic students in Linda Andres’ class. Her students are third graders: Teresa Aiken, Brad Balko, Dena Bignail, Lanette Brumm, Robin Hale, Nathan Halliwill, Jason House, Suzan Koch, Jimmy Mc­ Millon, Gabriel Priddy, Jimmy Skelton and Jenny Stairs; and fourth graders Christi Bigelow, Sara Kinyon, Rebecca Lingholm, Dan Martin, Alice Moore, Jason Shook, Josh Sleeper, Brian Steward and Brent Stine. Students in Linda Andres class at Maplewood School in Vermontville were respon­ sible last month for putting their school in the spotlight when snowmen (like these shown) were seen on a nationally telecast program, "America", on Christmas Eve. From our readers To the Editor: This past week when we read the article on the front page of the Maple Valley News which read “Council approves tapping of trees in local cemetery,” we were very upset. Our feelings about the Lakeview Cemetery in the village of Nashville are very special one’s. We, like many, many other people who have loved ones there want the serene place to be known as a memorial spot to visit and come to. It should never be a place where anyone should make any profit of money from. Neither should it be a place where heavy equipment tires or such can uproot the ground where someone is laid to rest. That is where respect is needed and should be shown. As kids we were taught never to knowingly walk or cross anyone’s grave. That is where respect comes in. Start the New Year Right... CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT Maple Valley Schools Syrup Queen candidates sought With the drives in our cemetery as narrow as some are, there is no possible way for big equipment to go through without getting on the cemetery lots which are properties of other people. Also, we have beautiful old maple trees in our cemetery which are dying because of more than one sap bucket being hung on them. Yes, Nashville does have a beautiful cemetery, and it is up to all or any of us to keep it that way. We need your help to do this. Thank-you for taking the time to read our letter. Larry and June Decker Nashville Friday, January 24 is the deadline for candidates to subit applications for the 1986 Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen contest.

The letter was originally published in The Nashville News in the issue of Jan. 17, 1907. The first portion appeared in this column last week. Effa was the daughter of George 0. and Susan (McKelvey) Dean. The father was a Civil War veteran who came to Michigan from his native New York following the conflict, and settled in Maple Grove Township. In 1920 the elder Deans moved into the village of Nashville, residing the balance of their years at 525 Reed Street, as did Effa, who never married. She had four brothers; Aurie, George B., Rial, and William O. The latter, remembered as Nashville’s beekeeper-poet, was the subject of a Memories published in May 1984. In the following episode Miss Dean recounts the train journey across Nevada and through California to her destination at Los Angeles. Her keen observations enroute today give us a glimpse of life in the early 20th century. We made very slow time Saturday crossing Nevada. Our train, consisting of seveenteen coaches, was side-tracked a number of times, at one place several hours; waiting for other trains to pass. Then we went very slowly up grade, and once were obliged to wait for another engine to help us up, so that Sunday morning found us with nearly one-third of the distance thru Nevada still before. The same barren alkali plains on every side with now and then a railroad station consisting of a few small shanties. However, snow capped mountains loomed up in the distance, which relieved the monotony of the scene. No bread was to be had at the small stores all day Saturday, the trains ahead of us having purchased all, and many ofthe passengers were paying exhorbitant prices for boxes of crackers and cans of beans. I did not see the town of Deeth where father saw the shooting, so think we must have passed it in the night. Sunday morning we passed thru a sand storm of considerable duration. I was standing in the vestibule of the car when it struck us and was thankful to get inside where all the transoms were tightly closed as soon as possible. About one o’clock we reached Sparks, a pretty little mining town just two years old, consisting of neat frame buildings painted white. At Truckee, the first place of any size in California, and 209 miles from San Francisco, the train stopped a half hour or more. This town is situated in a valley among the Sierra Nevada mountains. The ground was covered with freshly failed snow and on every side was beautiful scenery. Mountains covered with evergreens laden with pure white snow; here and there little streams rushing down thejnountain side or a river flowing along the valley below us as we started up the mountains, ever winding about higher and higher. This continued until five o’clock, when the lamps were lighted as we were about to enter the forty miles of snow sheds, and even then at short intervals we caught a glimpse of the surrounding scenery - rivers, waterfalls and mountains with a railroad track winding around the mountains below us or perhaps far above us, over which we have just passed or are about to pass as wind up about the mountains. I liked these mountains better than any I have ever seen, perhaps because it was a pleasant change after the barren county thru which we had come. At five o’clock Monday morning we crossed the straits on a ferry and soon were in the car sheds at the Oakland pier. I went to the station to look for Mr. and Mrs. Mason, but could not Effa boarded the train at Battle Creek for her week-long journey west, details of which she shared in a letter home that was submitted for publication in The Nashville News. Some of her travel adventures occurred on board. In Nevada a bread shortage prompted provision prices to skyrocket, while in California the boarding by two unsavory characters caused a sleepless night for several other Los Angeles-bound passengers. This 1907 scene shows Battle Creek's Grand Trunk depot. find them nor find out whether or not their train was in yet. So, as I was too tired for sightseeing and would not be able to get a berth the rest of the way if I did stop, I decided to go on with our car which left at 1:30 p.m. We made good time after leaving Oakland, but as more than two-thirds of the five hundred miles from San Francisco along the coast line was traversed during the night, I did not have an opportunity to see as much of the country as I should have liked. During the afternoon, however, we passed large fields of ripe tomatoes, acres of cucumbers, ripe melons and squashes and fields of sugar beets. The beets which were being drawn to the sugar factories were in large sacks upon racks drawn by four or six horses. The last night of our journey two suspicious looking characters boarded, our train and passed thru our car, creating quite a sen­ sation. Most of the passengers went to bed The home Effa Dean left in 1906 for a cross-country train trip to California was a far cry from the poor railroad shanties she noted en route through Nevada. This two-story brick located at the corner of Lawrence and Assyria roads in Maple Grove Township was built by her parents, George O. and Susan Dean, replacing an earlier frame home across the road. A Civil War veteran, Dean once shook hands with Abraham Lincoln and saw him on two other occasions during the war, the last time at Richmond, Va., just a few days before the president was assassinated. Effa is standing on the porch in this turn-of-the-century photo which also includes her parents and brothers. expecting to be relieved of some of their valuables before reaching Los Angeles, but all the train men were very alert for some time and we reached here about six o’clock Tuesday morning without having had any trouble. I never learned what became of the two charac­ ters who deprived so many passengers of a peaceful night’s rest. Almost without exception the people in our car were pleasant and congenial and had become so well acquainted in the week spent upon the road that, while glad to have reached their destination, they were sorry to have to separate. The two past weeks have been unusually cold I am told. There have been several hard frosts which slightly nipped the tomato vines and calla lily borders. I noticed by the Hastings Banner, which came yesterday, that Chester Pryor was clerking in the Fifth Street department store here. I have been in there but did not seem him as I did not think of looking for him. He left Hastings the same day we started. We never saw Bertha DeBolt nor any one else with whom we were acqainted after leaving Battle Creek. Hoping you are all well and wishing you, too, were in the land of sunshine and flowers, I am.

For example, that medical check-up you have put off for so long that now you're afraid to go; or that book you bor­ rowed months ago that you haven’t even read yet, let alone returned; or that committee mailing list you should have updated long before now, etc. If all of this sounds familiar, there is one thing you should do without any further delay; and that’s to pay a visit to your House of Worship, where the lessons will give you the courage and stamina you need to tackle all that unfinished business. Those neglected duties will not go away by themselves, but will just hang there like an ever-darkening cloud until you do something about them. So let God help you start the year with a clean slate, and don’t wait any longer to ask Him. Jet aim® LUMBgR YARD Only onr life—will won bepart 219 S.

LITCHFIELD �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, January 21, 1986 — Page 6 Adult classes range from computers to welding Second semester begins Jan. 27 for the Maple Valley­ Lakewood Adult Education classes. If you would like to complete your high school education, or brush up on your skills call now. Bill Kipp will be teaching the welding and machine shop class on Tuesday evenings this semester. Basic machine shop, arc and gas welding are offered. A writing workshop is also offered. This may be used as an English requirement for high school completion students. Ifyou already have your diploma, this would help you brush up on your writing skills. Students work mainly from worksheets rather than from a formal text book. Students work in improving skills in spelling, punctution, sentence structure and correct usage. Vocabulary building is also stressed. The course is centered around the needs of the student rather than a formal study of grammar. Marge Wolff will be teaching the office procedures and machine operations class on Monday evenings. Some of the units studied will include filing, machine transcription, electronic calculator operations, and word processing. The typing is taught by Nancy Rosin and is held on Thursday evening. This class is open to all students and is individualized. If you are a beginner, or if you want to brush up on your typing join this class. The introductory class in computer science is also on Thursday evenings and will be taught by Pauline Hunt. This course will be an in­ troduction to computers through the development of computer literacy and “hands-on” experience. You will learn how to use the BASIC language in reading and writing programs. TRS80s are used in this course. You may be able to complete your education sooner than you think, calls us at 852-9275 or stop in the Community Education Office in the high school. Office hours are 1-9:45 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Spaghetti supper on Jan. 31 The Maple Valley Athletic Boosters will sponsor a spaghetti supper on Jan. 31. Surving will begin at 5:30 and continue until 7 p.m. Spaghetti, coleslaw, roll, butter, coffee or milk will be served for $2.50 for adults and $2 for children. Pie will be available for 50 cents. The Lions will be hosting Olivet on the Friday of the supper. Vermontville Chamber elects officers The Vermontville Chamber of Commerce will be headed again this year by reelected President Pat O'Dell and reelected vice-president Nyle Wells. Other of­ ficers reelected to continue to fill their posts were Bea Gillaspie as secretary and treasurer Francis Olson. Some projects the chamber hopes to help accomplish this year is the renovation of the Opera House for use as a community center and the installation of a walkway in town. Shop lifting prevention program offered with other enrichment classes The last thing you need now is a problem with insurance that doesn’t offer guaranteed home replacement cost coverage. Insurance means 100% assurance, right? Wrong. Sometimes it doesn’t. Although you wouldn’t live in half of a home—that might be all the limits of coverage your present home insurance gives you. Auto-Owners doesn’t agree with that. They believe that homeowners insurance should ideally protect and replace 100% of your home. Because anything less, isn’t 100% protection.The Guaranteed Home Replacement Cost Coverage is from your “no problem” Auto-Owners agent. Ask him if your home qualifies, and find out what 100% peace-of-mind is ail about. Maple Valley-Lakewood Community Education enrichment classes begin the week of Jan. 20. Jr. Karate will be held on Tuesday evenings from 6 to 7 p.m. at Maplewood elementary school in Ver­ montville. The class is open to boys and girls kin­ dergarten through eighth grade. Anyone is welcome to attend the first night and observe the class. Parents are invited to attend and many parents do stay and watch the activities. Em­ phasis of this class is on self­ defense. A serie's of classes on finances also begins on Jan. 21. The topic of the first class will be money management. A one evening program on Shop Lifting Prevention will be presented on Tuesday, Feb. 4 at 7 p.m. by Sgt. Rick Wahl. Shoplifting is the largest reported crime in the nation affecting everyone of us. In retail stores 5-7 cents out of every dollar spent goes to make up for shoplifter’s theft. About one-half off all teenagers try shoplifing. The extent of the impact, the retailers rights, and the consequences of being ap­ prehended will be discussed. There is no charge for this program.

Tim Hayes scored 30 points, including 14 in a torrid second quarter when St. Philip took charge, in leading the Tigers to a 69-51 win over Maple Valley last Friday. The loss dropped the Lions record to 2-8 overall and 1-5 in the SMAA. Maple Valley had lost to Bronson 75-64 on Tuesday night, ending a brief 2-game Lion winning streak. . Lion coach Jerry Reese said the key to the game was stopping Hayes and that wasn-’t possible on this particular night. “Once he got going it was kind of tough,” admitted Reese of Hayes. “When we doubled up on him, he gave the ball to someone else. That’s what a good player does.” •_ The Tigers trailed 17-11 at the end of one period, but led by Hayes, St. Philip out­ scored the host Lions 27-12 to grab a commanding 38-29 halftime lead. Maple Valley could come no closer and were outscored 15-13 and 16-9 the final 2 quarters. The Lions hit only 14-of-62 (23 percent) from the floor as opposed to a lofty 50 percent (27-of-54) for the winners. “Our field goal percentage was way down,” said Reese, Vermontville Bible Church musical group, the Choralaires, a 34 voice mixed group from the will present the Oakley - Embrich Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music on Jan. 26.

Previously the council had voted to allow two Nashville men to tap trees in Lakeview cemetery. Tim Smith and Tom Oleson (who are not from the syrup association as was stated previously in this paper) had sent a letter to the cemetery board requesting permission to tap trees in Lakeview cemetery. Village President John Hughes had obtained a copy of the letter, and felt the village council should make the decision. The council, Jan. 9, voted 5-1 in favor of letting the men tap the cemetery’s trees which prompted some village residents to gather 195-signatures on 12-petitions opposing the tapping. Because Smith and Oleson had been permitted to tap the trees for the purpose of making syrup for the past five years, with the exception of last year, some residents claimed at Thursday’s meeting that tapping the cemetery’s trees is “disrespectful to the dead” and a “desecration to the graves.” Don Langham addresses members of concerning the trees in Lakeview Cemetery. the Nashville Council, Thursday, “The cemetery is intended to be used as a cemetery, not Nine people were present at Nashville's Council meeting Thursday, to present petitions protesting the tapping of trees in Lakeview Cemetery. Nashville woman questions why drivel- didn't receive a ticket? By Shelly Sulser A Nashville woman is still questioning why a ticket wasn’t given to a driver who smashed into the back of her car last December. When the December 20 accident occurred, Kim Price of Thornapple Lake Road said she was traveling through Nashville on Main Street (M-66) toward her place of employment, Big George’s Party Store, when a pick-up truck began tailgating her. She said the truck, driven by Terry Conine of Athens, backed off somewhat as the two vehicles traveled through the middle of downtown, but began tailgating again as she approached a “Yield” sign at the intersection where M­ 66 curves out of town. “I stopped at the “Yield” sign there because there were two cars coming and that’s when he hit me,” Price said. As a result of the accident, which caused about $1,600 in damages to her car, she was taken to the hospital with injuries to her neck and upper back. Price said she was unable to work for two weeks and that she did not have the use of her car for one-month. Acting Police Chief Gene Koetje “refused to give him (Conine) a ticket,” Price said. “He (Koetje) said that I should have had my turn signal on but then he said I really didn’t have to use my turn signal.” She added Koetje told her that the only way something would be done to improve the safety of that corner was if someone were fatally injured there. “I feel he (Conine) should have gotten a ticket at least,” Price said. Koetje said he didn’t ticket Conine because he saw no deliberate action or negligence on Conine’s part, and he felt the Athens man was not exceeding the speed limit. Koetje said Price was stopped at the south end of Main Street (M-66) at the corner when the Conine truck slid into her and caused considerable damage. “It was just a judgement thing,” Koetjesaid. “If there is no negligence involved then I quite frequently don’t give a ticket. Koetje said Conine was held responsible for the incident when he filed the police report. If Conine had been a Nashville resident who was more familiar with the corner, the driver could possibly have been cited, Koetje added. Noting that the corner is dangerous where the ac­ cident occurred, he said, “It’s just one of those un­ fortunate things.” According to law, a driver must be in control of his or her vehicle at all times, but it is not mandatory to ticket the driver because there could be extenuating cir­ cumstances involved. Price said there is no avenue available for her to appeal Koetje’s decision not to ticket the other driver. “I was so upset that he (Conine) wasn’t ticketed so I called the State Police,, the Barry County Sheriff, the Barry County Prosecutor and District Court,” said Price. She said she was told that there is nothing another agency can do because Koetje is the only one who has the authority to ticket the driver in that incident. “I even called him (Koetje) a couple of times,” but he wouldn’t change his mind. Price said she felt Conine should have been ticketed because she was ticketed once when she was involved in a similar accident in Battle Creek after she was unable to avoid colliding with another vehicle in front of her. a sugarbush,” said Don I.-angham who was one of nine residents at the meeting to protest the tapping. Langham had brought to the attention of the council cemetery ordinance number 65, sections five, six and seven, that Hughes read stating: “no person shall mar, deface, destroy, upset or otherwise improperly treat or trespass upon any... headstones, or ornaments, shrubs, flowers, trees and fences within and enclosed in said cemetery...no person shall drive in or through or park in or walk into or through said cemetery grounds except for uses and purposes usual and per­ taining to the purpose to which said grounds are dedicated.” The ordinance also states that any person convicted of Vermontville Fire Dept, plans their annual dance The Vermontville Fire Department’s 64th annual dance will be held Saturday, Feb. 15 at the fire barn. The dance, with music by Party Down of Nashville, will start at 9 p.m. and usually continues until about 1 a.m. Door prizes will be awarded and a drawing for prizes will be conducted. Proceeds from the event will be used to purchase new equipment for the fire department, possibly some gloves, boots, and-or items for the new truck. “We hope everyone will come and have a good time,” said Shirley Harmon. Admission is $10 per couple and $5 single. Bring your own refreshments. Tickets will be available at the door or may be pur­ chased in advance from any firefighter. Tim Smith speaks on behalf of himself and Tom Olson who originally requested permission to tap the cemetery trees. violation of the provisions of the i ordinance shall be punished by a fine of not more than $100 or by im­ prisonment together with prosecution. Hughes told the audience that “my personal opinion is that I don’t think tapping the trees is maring and defacing.” Langham told the council that “if the village continues to allow the tapping of the trees in the cemetery, we will try to obtain a legal injunction against you or other legal action.” Also present at the meeting were Oleson, along with Smith who said, “I must say to the council itself that the problems created by allowing us to tap there, if this is going to result in legal actions toward you, then I say it’s not worth it. This is purely a springtime, get out into the fresh air type of exercise for us and as far as getting you guys involved in legal actions, it’s not worth it.” In defense of the ac­ cusations, Smith said “It is my feeling that it is not a desecration of the dead,” and “I heard throughout the community that the COUNCIL, cont. on page 3— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, January 28, 1986 — Page 2 Nashville family to take partin Central Michigan 'Ag Day' Like many of today’s farmers, Robert and Rachel Curtis have been at their vocation for years building the business- bit by pain­ staking bit. Until seven yg years ago Robert’s parents owned the farm, located on Evart Road near Nashville. Now the Curtises run the 600-acre farm in a partnership with Robert’s father, who has since moved to a second farm. During Robert’s 27 years on the farm he’s seen it grow from a 120-acre, 25-30 cow dairy farm to the current operation which raises more than enough feed for its 125 cows. The growth and success story of the Curtis farm will be one of several tales highlighted at the Central Michigan Ag Day scheduled for Feb.. 1 at Lakewood High School. “Successful Farm Families” is one of the 16 different program topics offered during the day, which will last from 9 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. This event is being offered through the combined efforts of the Barry, Eaton, Ionia Kent County and Cooperative Extension Services. The Curtises were selected for the panel discussion by Jan Hartough of the Barry County Cooperative Ex­ tension Service. The Curtises worked with Hartough and several representatives from Michigan State in a farm-evaluation program last fall, and when it came time to find representatives for the Ag Day, Hartough suggested the Curtises. “She (Hartough) just asked us to tell what has worked for us and what didn’t,” said Curtis of the MSU farm evaluation day. The Curtises involvement in the Central Michigan Ag Day will be along the same lines: They’ll be asked to evaluate their apparently successful ‘‘farm philosophies.” And the Curtises can list three keys to success: (1) Big decisions (buying a tractor, adding cows, etc.) should be “kicked around” for a couple of weeks until all the pluses and minuses are Get thejump on spring!

(That) is an absolute falsity. We have never done this...As far as walking on the cemetery grounds, 90 percent of the trees we tap are off the roadways, and there are probably 10 percent that we do cross over the lots to collect sap.” Langham later stated that “no where in the charter does it say that the cemetery can be used for anything but what it was intended for...it does say they have the power to make money, but you can’t go in the cemetery and do that.” He added that “It’s just good common sense. The cemetery was intended to be used as a cemetery, not a sugarbush. And we set around and honor our war dead and the people that made this area great, such as it is, the pioneers and everybody else and we’re going to give them two sap buckets over their heads going drip, drip, drip each and every year. That’s stupid.” Oleson and Smith said they give about $200 of their profits to the cemetery board, and also give 50 percent of their earnings to the syrup association and 10 percent to the village. “Sixty percent of what we take in acutally comes back to the community,” Smith said. Some others in attendance also claimed the cemetery board should have made the decision. Langham said the cemetery deed “gives the cemetery board the sole control running power to enforce the rules, regulations, deal with the public, sell lots, whatever you name, except make new laws, which they have to bring to you.” With council members Richard Chaffee, Jerry Kent, Marsha Ainslie, Richard Furlong, John Hughes and Carl Tobias voting yes and Bob Harvey abstaining, the council agreed that there should be no tapping of the trees in the cemetery, now or in the future. “The motion passed. Lakeview cemetery will not be tapped,” Hughes said. In other business, Hughes announced the village will hire a full-time office manager to relieve the village clerk of extra duties. He noted the village will advertise for resumes and applications for two weeks, and that the person should be on the job at least one month ihihiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiTrniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii From our readers To the Editor: In answer to your article in the Maple Valley News Jan. 14, regarding tapping trees in the local cemetery. It is clear that President Hughes and the council members are in error and do not take time to find out the facts. The Village Ordinance Jan. 1959, no. 65, Sections 1-35-and 6 all make it not legal to tap the trees and the coucil, mayor, Syrup Association are all in the wrong. As for the Cemetery Board the council and mayor have slapped the past and present board members in the face. The present ordiance gives the board sole power to enforce all rules and regulations and bring forth new ones if needed to the Council. The board members are the ones who deal with the public and feel the mood of the people. For years the syrup association has either tapped or tryed to tap the cemetery trees. How gross the people spoke to the board members for years against this issue and that’s why they said no to tapping. I, for one, think the Nash­ ville Syrup Association has now out lived its intended original meaning that it was set up to do, I would not buy anymore of their syrup. The village spends thousands to clean up dead and diseased trees that have been practically girdled by the tapping over many years. (The tax payer foots the bill). It is nice to know that our veterans who fought and died for our country, the loved ones resting in the cemetery, the people who made the town and area what it is all have one thing in common. Our mayor does “honor” them with two sap buckets each over there head going drip, drip, drip each and every year. As for the 10 percent profit, $200 would be a big year of intake. According to past board members, the damage to the cemetery in lack of lots sold, trees and road ways to repair would cost many times more. If we need money to upgrade our cemetery a small tax might be in order. It beats being buried in a Sugar Bush. I hope in the future we can expect better and more common sense government from our elected officials. Sincerly yours, Donald Langham 120 Kellogg St., Nashville STYLING < rt! I^J/i ni*,% •&>&.

Hughes noted the proposed job description is made up of duties that are not man­ datory for the village clerk in the village charter. However, they are duties that the clerk has always handled in the past. He added the job would pay about $190 per week and he and Marsha Ainslie will review applications and make recommendations to the council. The council agreed the applicants should live within reasonable distance of the village, about three miles, or willing to move within six months. Concerning the position of village manager, Hughes said the council is not to the point ofhiring yet, and that a complete job description has not yet been finalized. He noted the job would have to pay about $30,000 to $40,000 per year and the village budget would have to be adjusted accordingly. Hughes also reported that Charter Telecommunications, a cable TV company in Nashville, is selling to Sentel Corporation of Traverse City as of Feb. 28, 1986. The council has decided to begin making a proposed agenda available for the council meetings prior to the meeting date, to be posted in the village office. Persons wishing to address the council can contact the village office with items they wish to have added to the agenda. Village trustee Dick Chaffee said he would like to request a one-mill tax for village parks, cemeterys and trees, to be decided by a vote of the people, to compensate for the loss of revenue sharing money previously used for these purposes. No action was taken concerning the matter. The council voted to purchase 50 new water meters at a cost of $25 each. It was also agreed by the council to allow Department of Public Works Superin­ tendent Leon Frith to attend a Feb. 15 wastewater seminar in pond treatment and control for the sewer system. The only cost to the village will be for mileage reimbursement.

How many readers can now recall the location of Dayton Corners, Smoky Road, or John Wesley’s Corners? These tiny settlements may now be all but forgotten, but in the first quarter of this century they were wellknown to readers of The Nashville News (forerunner of the Maple Valley News). Items of interest from numerous neighboring localities became a regular weekly feature of The News, which in those days carried a higher ratio of social and personal items than “hard” jnews stories. In the correspondents’ columns were the traditional reports of visits and trips; recent callers; moves and new jobs; meetings; illnesses; births, deaths and funerals. Comments also were common on the state of the weather; seasonal farming conditions; who might be building a new barn, having an auction sale, driving a new “Tin Lizzie” or installing a' new telephone. When Orno Strong, a Slender, spirited 19-year-old from Law ton, founded The Nashville News in 1873, he had only 63 subscribers. By 1880 he had built the cir­ culation of his weekly to 1,248 and it was still growing. “Locals” were an im­ portant part of that early paper, but social and per­ sonal items, both from within and outside the village limits, really reached a peak under the direction of editor-publisher Len Feighner, an employee of Stong who purchased the Ella Taylor, seen here on July 8, 1915, with her husband,John,a local machinist and crate­ maker, was for 40 years a correspondent for The Nashville News. She contributed weekly reports of personal and social items, and occasionally did write-ups of weddings, deaths, etc. Mrs. Taylor sometimes received a small payment for the latter. The News office furnished her with lead pencils and paper. She also frequently wrote or phoned news reports of local interest to the Grand Rapids Press, often earning some $30 per year for her efforts. paper from his boss in 1888 and retained ownership of it for the next 40 years. Writers of the “Locals” were various individuals in the community. Other scribes living in outlying districts reported activities of rural residents. Most received no monetary compensation. Ella Taylor, who for nearly 40 years was a local coorespondent for The Nash­ ville News, noted in her personal diaries the receipt of payments from the paper from time to time. These small sums, rarely more than a dollar or two, appear to have been pay for special reports she wrote of wed­ dings, deaths, etc. The News office kept Mrs. Taylor supplied with lead pencils and paper. She generally dropped off her items at The News office on Maple Street, and mailed other reports to weekly papers in Ver­ montville and Charlotte. Mrs. Taylor occasionally wrote or phoned news reports of local interest to the Grand Rapids Press for which she received fair payment for the times. According to her diaries, she received $38.05 in 1921 from thePress; the following year it was $20.43 etc. Postal service was the primary mode of delivery of rural social items published by The Nashville News. The reports came to the News office from an area stret­ ching to the SunfieldWoodbury vicinity of the north to the Assyria district on the south; beyond Vermontiville to the east and to Hastings on the west. In 1906-07 issues of The News, for example, the following rural districts were among those represented in specially Country Letters" published in The Nashville News in the first quarter of the 20th century covered a nearly 300-square mile area ranging from Sunfield to Assyria, from Vermontville to Hastings. In addition to personal items, the "letters” also provided reports of activities at rural schools and churches, such as seen in this early photo of Assyria Center, approximately the southernmost point of Nashvill News coverage. Nearly every "Four Corners” had a scribe who sent weekly columns to The Nashville News. Some districts had several correspondents. Maple Grove Center (seen in this circa-1910 photo) had its own reporter, but at various times there also were news writers for the neighborhoods of Southwest Maple Grove, South Maple Grove, East Maple Grove, and North Maple Grove. There was widespread readers interest in the "doings" of friends and neighbors, as well as others living within the circulation area of the newspaper. headed columns: Maple Grove and Assyria Townline; Vermontville; West Vermontville; Austin Neighborhood; Maple Grove Center; East Maple Grove; Martin Corners; East Castleton; Dayton Comers; West Kalamo; Lakeview; Barryville; Nease Corners; Coats Grove; Northeast Assyria; Garlinger’s Cor­ ners; Woodbury; and County Seat (Hastings). Twenty years later, in the 1920s, there were added to the above-named several more: Woodland; Southwest Sunfield; Guy Corners; North Maple Grove; Nor­ thwest Kalamo; Castleton Center; South Maple Grove; Smoky Roads; Scipio; John Wesley’s Corners; Greggs Crossing; Baltimore Townline; Sheldon Corners; Morgan; Striker District; Four Corners; and North Irish Street. News varied little in that period. Excerpts from rural news columns in the May 3, 1906 issue show the usual social events plus other day to day items of interest to readers: “Mr. Todd raised his new barn on Monday on the farm that Mr. Harwood works (Lakeview)”. “Byron Talbot has a Citizens phone on the Bellevue exchange (Maple Grove and Assyria Townline)”. “Lyman Brown is getting out lumber for a new. barn (Dayton Cor­ ners)”. “Cleaning house is the order of the day (Woodbury)” and this thought-provoking item from the Austin Neighborhood: “I. W. Cargo has bought the Jeremiah Wilbur farm. Things look rather suspicious.” The correspondent from West Kalamo included a word to the wise: “All having items will confer a great favor on your scribe if you will phone them over.” Twenty years later, in a May 27, 1926 issue, news seemed generally to be of the same nature: “The assessor made his yearly visit to this vicinity (North Castleton)” “Mr. and Mrs. Robert Martin are driving a new coach' (Lakeview)” “W.S. Adkins is improving his stock of bees with queens from Alabama” “We are having our portion of dan­ delions and mushrooms (Morgan)” “We are sorry to report that Clarence Shaw lost a very valuable horse Sunday night (Jonn Wesley’s Corners)” and this puzzler: “There isn’t any question but what something must happen if East Castleton sustains its reputation or years (East forty Castleton).” It was not until Jan. 29, 1927, tha writers of the rural news columns were iden­ tified in print. In the issue of that date, The Nashville News credited the following contributors with by-lines: Kalamo Dept., Mrs. Ray Noban; Barryville, Willis Lathrop; Maple Grove Center, Mrs. Wesley DeBolt; North Castleton, Mrs. George Rowlader; Nor­ theast Castleton, Mrs. Floyd Titmarsh; Southwest Sun­ field, Grace L. Sheldon; Southwest Maple Grove, Mrs. W.H. Cheeseman; Vermontville, Mrs. Harvey Hawkins; Morgan, Lester Webb; Lakeview, Mrs. William Cogswell; North Kalamo, Mrs. A.E. Cottrell; Dayton Corners, Mrs. Claud Kennedy; and Martin Comers, Mrs. Millie Fisher. In the 1920s-30s era, the news from the outlying districts was grouped under a heading of “Country Correspondence,” and, later, “Country Letters,” with the sub-heading “Items of Interest from Neighboring Localities.” By the 1940s the rural news columns still were an im­ portant part of the weekly paper but assumed a less proportionate ratio to “hard” news stories and covered a less extensive reading area. Coorespondents’ reports still were being published in The News into the 1960s, but now the rural reports are virtually a thing of the past. Still there remains, especially among older readers, an interest in who. visited whom, who is on the sick list, and who has traveled where. Then, as now, there is an interest in the activities and well-being of one’s neighbors.

In the six-week program that involves educators from both Lakewood and Maple Valley, teachers learn from expert Kay Howell how the dyslexic student reacts to learning to read, write and spell. Dyslexia is a language disability characterized by difficulty in learning to read, write and or spell. Dyslexics are persons who have nor­ mal or above intelligence and no limiting physicall or emotional disabilities, but who, despite conventional classroom experience during school years, fail to learn language skills at a level equal to their intellectual ability. By training teachers in the schools, they learn to recognize when a student has the language problem and how to adjust the teaching process to compensate for that student. Estimates of the number of dyslexic persons in the United States range from under two to over 10 percent of the population.

Tuesday, January 28 1986 — Page 6 fiasco at the MESC. Bill Would Prohibit In­ dividuals From Giving False Name To Police Officers Legislation that would make it a crime to give a false or fictitious name to a police officer has been in­ troduced in the Michigan House and I co-sponsored the measure. A colleague of mine, (Representative Phil Hoff­ man), sponsored the bill (HB 5293) after being contacted by a township public safety director who expressed concern about a recent Michigan court of Appeals decision that says the mere “giving” of a false name is not a crime under current law. The decision means that upon being confronted by a police officer, a person can give any name that he or she feels like without violating the law. The public won’t stand for deception and this bill aims to rectify this problem. Prior to the appellate decision, a local safety department could hold a person under the premise of investigating the likelihood that he or she was a walkaway and providing a false name. Now these people cannot be detained, because no crime is being committed. Any law-abiding society needs a basic set of rules to Local experts teach grain marketing Marketing consultants, grain marketing merchandizers and USDA representatives from the central Michigan area will be the teachers at a Grain Marketing Series sponsored by the Eaton County Cooperative Extensive Service The series, set for Jan 29 and Feb. 5 from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., will be held at the Roxand Township Hall, located at the rear of the firebarn in Mulliken.

(N-l 38) VILLE: A ruling that increased benefits for workers’ compensation recipients on Jan. 1 conflicts with state law and will create a bureaucratic nightmare, according to the Republican vice chair of the House Labor Committee. The Bureau of Workers’ Compensation issued its emergency rule Dec. 18th to increase maximum benefits from $18,616 per year to $19,500 per year without consulting the Legislature. The Attorney General has been asked for an opinion on the rule’s legality. The rule was issued one day after the Legislature recessed and just before the holiday. To many business leaders and lawmakers, this action appears to be a deliberate attempt to amend a law without legislative participation. Current law requires workers’ compensation benefit levels be based on a percent of the State Average Weekly Wage (SAWW) as determined by the Michigan Employment Security Commission. Such a determination has been prevented because of the MESC’s problems in in­ stalling and operating its $80 million computer system. Because the MESC was unable to render a figure, the CELS: CADILLAC Built in 1978, 3 bedrooms, 1 '/> baths, Andersen windows, aluminum siding, 2'/i car gar­ age built in 1984, plus 24x42 pole building with water & electric, Bellevue Schools.

The emergency rule states that if the benefit level estimate is incorrect, insurers must make ad­ justments retroactive to Jan. 1 without interest penalties. Such retroactive changes will be difficult and ex­ pensive. If the payments are too high, how will insurers recoup the overpayment if the individual is no longer collecting benefits? Recovery costs will be very high. Different individuals will have collected for dif­ ferent numbers of weeks and in different pay periods. Adjustments, up or down, will be a nightmare. The bureau should have consulted the Legislature or just paid the 1985 benefit rate until the MESC was able to provide the correct figure. The ultimate respon­ sibility falls on those who created the automation determine acceptable behavior. I think it is ab­ solutely necessary that people be required to give their proper name when asked by a law enforcement officer. To do anything less is to show disrespect to the very individuals charged with maintaining law and order. Such mockery can’t be tolerated.

This program will include discussions on the prospects for grain, dairy and livestock prices and the effects of the new govern­ ment farm program on agriculture. Many workshops will provide participants with a working knowledge of such topics as concrete con­ struction in livestock facilities, anhydrous ammonia handling and electrical wiring. Several agricultural organizations, including the Michigan Corn Growers Association, will hold their annual meeting during ANR Week.

I I sports llliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiHiiiiHiiiriiiiiiiHiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiwiftf Siple’s 3-point play hands Lions 63-61 win over Pennfield Mike Siple hit a clutch 3point play with 10 seconds to play to lift Maple Valley to a thrilling 63-61 win over Pennfield last Friday. Trailing 60-56 with only 2 minutes to go in the game, Pennfield rallied for 3 straight field goals and a 61­ 60 lead. Maple Valley got the ball back with half a minute to play until Tai Gearhart fed the ball inside to Siple who turned, was fouled, and hit the layup. His free throw made the final 63-61. It wasn’t the most artistic ofwins, admitted Lion coach Jerry Reese, but with a 3-9 mark, the veteran Maple Valley mentor won’t give it back. “Both teams played what I call 2-minute spurts,” said Reese. “One team would play good for 2 minutes and then the other would play well for a couple of minutes.” Pennfield jumped to a quick 18-11 first quarter lead, but the Lions had cut the margin to 30-25 by the half. The Lions outscored the Panthers 16-10 in the third period to gain a tenuous 41-40 lead. The lead swung back and fourth in the final period until Pennfield finally led 61­ 60 with 10 seconds to go. Siple finished with 17 points and 13 rebounds for Maple Valley. Gearhart led the winners with 20 while George Steinbrecher chipped in 14 points and had 11 rebounds. Reese said the win could give his team a much-needed lift. The Lions play 4 of their next 5 games at home. “We’re hoping to build some momentum onto that,” said Reese of the upcoming home stretch. Maple Valley lost to Portland 71-58 on Tuesday night. Siple tossed in 18, Gearhart 9 and Steinbrecher 8 in that game.

Democrats Beverly Sue Villanueva and Donald Lewis are vying for the village president’s post, a position that could be Donald Lewis decided at the primary if there is not a successful write-in campaign. In the race for village clerk, incumbent Democrat Sharon Stewart is being challenged by newcomer Republican Ricki Hill. Village treasurer Kathleen Marsh is unopposed for that post, while five vie for three available four-year trustee Ricki Hill seats on the village council and two hope to be elected to two-year trustee posts. Although the village assessor position currently held by Mike Booher is up for reelection, no petitions were filed for the job. Here is a profile of each candidate: Beverly Sue Villanueva of 213 W. First St. in Ver­ montville is the Democratic incumbent candidate seeking a second two-year term as village president. Villanueva was elected as Vermontville’s first woman mayor in March of 1984, useating incumbent Bill Mason by a five-vote margin. She has been a Vermontville resident for 20% years, and has been a member of the Vermontville At a time when members of the communities of Nashville and Vermontville are concerned whether trees should be tapped in the cemetery or teens should attend dances held in a local bar, peace and Unity seemed to sweep over the area suddenly last Tuesday as the news was heard that seven brave Americans had tragically lost their lives in a space shuttle explosion. The news seemed to temporarily make people forget their disputes and feel sympathy and compassion for the families they never met, of astronauts they never met. Flags flew at half staff all over the country for the lost crew members of Space Shuttle Challenger, including this one at Maple Valley High School. Sharon Stewart Russ Bennett Linda Faye Ramey fire and ambulance service for four-years.’ Villanueva is also a past secretary of the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters. Married to Alejandro Villanueva, she has four children, Jon, 21, Julie, 19, Scott, 17 and Debra, 11. Villanueva, 41, is a housewife, and a 1962 high school graduate. When asked why she is running for office and what her position is on issues she feels are im­ portant to the village, Villanueva responded with 10-separate issues: “(A) senior citizen Housing Project to ac­ commodate local senior citizens, (is needed), thus making their present homes available to incoming families,” she said. “This in turn would, in the future, promote local businesses as well as the school district.” She also stated her desire to incorporate a walking and or bicycle path in town where presently there are no sidewalks available. Also, “I realize that the major roadways leading into Vermontville are not under the jurisdiction of the village council, none-the-less, they are ofgrave concern as they are our life-line to the rest of the world, and they are in need of extensive repairs and improvement.” In addition, Villanueva expressed her concern for the renovation of the village’s opera house, for preserving the current library and promoting the future community center. Other goals are to replace some of the antiquated equipment now being used by the village department of public works, to be sup­ portive of any and all activites planned by the Sesquicentennial Committee for Vermontville in 1986, to improve and repair certain local streets and to keep the Vermontville Village Council a working, cooperative unit for the good of the people as a whole. “It is imperative that we retain the police protection that we now have,” she said. “I would like to maintain the present atmosphere, but also encourage room for growth Nashville Village Clerk Susan Corkwell raises the flag in central park to half staff in honor of the lost crew of Space Shuttle Challenger. within Vermontville Village.” Donald W. Lewis, 51, of 186 Continued on next page— This flag at the post office in Nashville flew at half staff in remembrance of seven American astronauts. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, February 4, 1986 — Page 2 Mayors Post continued from page 1 E. First St. in Vermontville is giving up his present council seat to seek the president’s post. A Democrat, Lewis has served on the Vermpntville Village Council for* 10-years as a trustee, and has lived in the village for 15 years. A graduate of Charlotte High School, he served with the U.S. Marine Corp, and was a member of the military police. Lewis was involved with scouting and boys’ baseball in the village, and is a past president of the Vermontville Lion’s Club. He and wife Shirley have two children, Donald Lee Lewis, 27, and David E. Lewis, 20. Lewis says he is running for the office of president because he was asked to run for the post and because he feels some changes need to be made. “Also, I feel there should be something done to try and get a doctor (in town) if only for two days a week,” he says. He also notes he supports a housing project in Vermontville. “I also feel the people put us in office to try and represent them,” he adds, and, "I know you can’t do everything but you should try and listen to what people have to say about the village and how it will affect everyone, not just a few.” Ricki Hill is the Republican candidate for village clerk in Ver­ montville, a two-year post. Hill is 37 years old and has lived in Vermontville for ife years, along with husband Lee A. Hill at 179 E. Main St. They have two children, Lyle Hill, 21 and Cindy Robbins, 20. Hill is currently a tax preparer for H&R Block in Battle Creek and is member of the Vermontville Historical Society. Hill worked for 3Ma years in the accounting department at the Springfield school system, and one year at H&R Block as a tax preparer. She said she hopes to continue preparing taxes on a parttime basis if elected to the office of village clerk. She also is the auditor of the books for the maple syrup festival. Hill said she is running for village cleric because “my background is in accounting, and this is where I feel I could help my community the most.” She also stated that “I really think the future of the Opera House should be of concern to all of us. I enjoy local history and when buildings like this disappear from sight, a little of us and what we stand for dies along with it. “Another concern of mine is we need to encourage some small manufacturing and senior citizen housing to come to Vermontville to keep our town from disap­ pearing off the map, as others have done.” the Sharon Stewart, Democratic incumbent candidate for village clerk says she is running because “I enjoy working with people and feel a community spirit.” Stewart, 37, lives with husband Harold and 14year-old son Kevin at 177 Maple St. Another son, Dean, 19, attends the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Having been appointed to the clerk’s position by the council 1% years ago, Stewart is also the secretary for the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters and for the Vermontville Sesquicentennial Com­ mittee. She attended Kellogg Community College and served as treasurer for the Maple Valley I Athletic Boosters in 1983-31. “I have been viaage clerk for a year and a half. During that time I have cqntinuously kept the village documents and correspondence current, as well as keeping the village council informed on the village’s day to day business activities,” Stewart said. “As village cleric, I do not have a vote on the village council, (the clerk’s job involves carrying out the village council’s policies, not make them) but, if I could vote, I would support senior citizen housing. I would vote for all wholesome, moral activities for our youth. I would also support projects that would generate revenues and or jobs to Vermontville, as long as the projects would not interefere with Vermontville being a good place to live and raise our children,” Stewart also added. Russ Bennett, 51 of 138 W. Third St. in Vermontville was recently appointed to the council to fill a seat vacated when Joyce Peterson resigned two months ago. He is a Republican candidate hoping to retain his seat on the council for two more years as a trustee. Bennett is in business for himself as the-owner of Russ Bennett Carpentry and Masonry, and also works as a contractor. He previously served as shop steward and a member of a union bargaining committee. Bennett is a member of the How can you get help fast when your car is smashed? No problem.

Bennett has a wife, Marjorie, and children Linda, 29, Russell, 26, Chris, 21, Jane 21, and step-children Donald, 22, Dawn, 19, and Deana, 17. “I think everyone should hold office once in their life, if for no other reason, to see how small government is run,” cited Bennett as his reason for running. He also added, “I would like to see some wage paying em­ ployment come to this area. I would like to see the village grow and possibly renovate some of its run-down housing or maybe build some new low cost housing...We have come a long way, but we have a long way to go.” Linda Faye Ramey, a homemaker who lives at 148 E. First St is a Democratic incumbent seeking to retain her two-year trustee position on the village council. Ramey, 40, has lived in the village for 16-years, and along with husband Kermit, has three children, Timothy, 20, Brett, 17, and Amanda, 16. She is a member of the Maplewood P.T.O and past vice president, past secretary of the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters and is chairman and treasurer of the bingo kitchen. Appointed nearly one year ago to fill a vacancy left when Jack Clark resigned from the council, Ramey is in favor of low income housing in the community and the renovation of the Opera House. “I am also in favor of sidewalk Kathleen Marsh finishing replacement and a walking path...new business and industry needs to be brought into Vermontville,” Ramey said, adding, “I also feel our present president and council are doing a very good job.” Joe Ann Nehmer has lived in Vermontville for 11-years, and is seeking the office of trustee for a four-year term because she has a “general concern for the community...” and its future. “In my opinion, a council person’s responsibility is to represent the people. I would like to see an agenda for new business items posted one week in advance of council UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 219 Washington St., Nashville North State, Nashville VERMONTVILLE BIBLE CHURCH A.M.

The following ex­ cerpts have been gleaned from the Nashville Ancient History column published in The Nashville News from near the turn of the century into the 1930s, from the Turning Back the Pages features of the 1940-60s; and from various early issues of The News). 1875.. . Another frigid, blustering snowstorm has set in as we go shiveringly to press this Thursday morning ... Last Tuesday morning the approved, legal ther­ mometer reading on Main Street was 23 degrees below zero. 1876.. .John Marshall of Maple Grove last week threshed 1,340 bushels of wheat. He also finished husking his corn and finds that his large farm netted him over 2,000 bushels of this handy commodity. A nice winter, this, where threshing, husking and other farm work can go without inte rruption. 1877.. .The Christian Church society, cheered by the manner in which the cash is coming in, now announce their intention of buying an 800-pound bell instead of the 300-pounder originally proposed. Nobody has yet volunteered to carry it up the ladder and hang it. 1878.. .

At the meeting Of the village council Tuesday night 39 indignant women, members of the W.C.T.U., invaded the chambers and demanded that the village fathers look into the matter of the bakery selling hard cider. President Killen assured the ladies in a loud voice that such things, if they have been going on, will be stopped at once. 1881.. . About 7 o’clock on Monday night fire was discovered in the McKelvey schoolhouse and several neighbors were at the scene of the conflagration but the fire had gained such head­ way that nothing could be saved.

Sheldon of Hastings on Monday night arrested Dr. J. T. Goucher of this village on a warrant charging him with attempting to rob the grave of Ed T. Branch, of Barryville, accidentally shot and killed recently while hunting.

(Note: The doctor was later convicted in a sensational trial and sentenced to Jackson prison. The com­ plete Goucher Grave Rob­ bery story was told in a Memories published Feb. 23, 1982.) 1891.. . While few a youngsters of the village were skating on the pond a few rods above the dam Monday afternoon, Rye, the nine-year-old son of R. E.

The water was 12 feet deep. 1899.. . E. B. Pierce has for sale a good cow, giving six quarts of extra rich milk twice a day and he will sell her for $25 cash or exchange for a good road horse and pay boot. 1900.. .

Baker was in Chicago in early February 1940, buying yet another load of auctioned merchandise in order to bring "hundreds of bargains" back to the homefolks. Perhaps Nashville's most colorful merchant, New York-born Baker came to the village in 1883, and during his half-century career operated in numerous Main Street locations. Noted for his penchant of the racetracks, Baker frequently went bankrupt but always bounced back in a new setting. His adventures were told in a Memories story published in December 1980. Baker died in 1945. destroyed by fire... The building, erected in 1885, could not be duplicated today for. less than $12,000. Total loss, with contents is estimated at $15,000, of which $8,000 is covered by insurance. 1906.. . Representatives of the Abbott Voting Machine Co. of Hudson were in the village Tuesday exhibiting some of their machines, and incidentally trying to sell one to the township. 1907.. .

J. Liebhauser is scraping the floor of the opera house with his new machine for that purpose, and fitting it up for roller skating. 1912.. . The derailment of a car of coal in the middle of the freight train, which Several new phone listings on the Citizens exchange were published in The Nashville News in early February 1901. A new keyboard had been installed at the central office, and manager J. C. Furniss announced that he soon expected to hire an "attendant" to handle the switchboard. The office was first located above Liebhauser's drug store (now Mace Pharmacy) and later moved to the second floor of the old post office (now the Dairy Delite building), where this circa-1910 photo was taken. Operators are not identified. happened between Ver­ montville and Chester Sunday morning, held up the trains for several hours. The accident was a fortunate one since no one was hurt and the only damage done aside from the delay of traffic was the spilling of the car of coal. 1924.. . John Shields, who has been driving dray for C.A. Greenfield, has pur­ chased a new truck and gone into the business for himself. 1925.. . The local high school eagers lost to Hastings, 32-23, Friday night, but the girls beat the county seat maidens. 1928.. . Nashville High School had just three All-A students for the first semester.

Five men from the state highway department have been her for several days, making needful repairs on the North Main Street bridge. 1934.. . A fire evidently caused by a defective flue badly gutted the home of Mrs. Christina Snow and family Saturday morning. All the contents of the lower floor were saved and a few things from the second floor. Through the activity of a group of Nashville men and trucks, Mrs. Snow and her four children living at home were comfortably housed that same day in the Sher­ man Street house just west of L. W. Feighner’s. 1939.. . The Glasgow hardware has been sold by H. D. Wotring, executor of the Glasgow estate, to C. R. Plumbly of Hastings, who took possession Feb. 2. 1940.. . Fred G.

Robert Fisher, newly appointed civil defense director for Nash­ ville, together with key personnel of the partially set up village defense organization, will attend a state meeting in East Lansing to discuss civil defense policies, procedure and problems.

Glasgow, seen at left in this 1916 photo with his staff, from left: bookkeeper Frieda Schulze Trim; tinsmith Earl Hoffman, and clerk Henry Zuschnitt..

HOME FOR RENT The last thing a landlord needs now is a problem with his insurance. The best thing about being a landlord is collecting rent on time. The worst thing about being a landlord is collecting your renters’ problems. So its nice to know that when a problem does arise, you have Auto-Owners Rental Dwelling Insurance. And that’s no problem. Because Auto-Owners writes its own rental policies, they can offer you broader coverage than most. In fact, you can receive nearly the same protection that you have on your own home. You can even buy replacement cost coverage if you qualify. So see your “no problem” Auto-Owners agent and find out how he can protect your rental dwelling property...so all you have to think about is the rent. ■ VEHICLES FOR SALE The Maple Valley Schools Board of Education will be accepting sealed bids on the following equipment.

Get a New Look for the New Year ALL WALK-INS WELCOME ASK FOR DOROTHY Irene’s Beauty Shop a surprise, you never know what to expect from them.” He and wife Nancy have volunteered their time at Maplewood for nearly five years, and still enjoy it as much as they did when they started. “It gives us an opportunity to help them (students) learn good values in life instead of what they learn - on the playground or on the bus,” Brown said. When Monday rolls around and it’s Doug and Nancy’s turn to help at the school, Hie routine begins with lunch time. The couple moniter the lunchroom beginning at aboutll:15 a.m., after which Doug follows the children onto the playground to offer a friendly hand. At the swingset, one student noted, “He pushes kids (on the swings). You can never get a swing when Mr. Brown is here.” “The kids just love Doug,” observed -Nancy, noting he appeals to the children because “he’s big, he’s tall, he’s friendly and he’s nice.” While Doug is on the playground, Nancy stays behind in the lunchroom to wash tables and prepare for the next lunch crowd. During that time, the couple is back together in the lunch area, helping students open their milk cartons, or keep order, followed by another trip to the playground by Doug. The couple first decided to become volunteers after seeing an advertisement in the local newspaper that stated volunteers were needed in the schools. With two of their own four children attending Maplewood at that time, they decided it would be a good way for Doug to see his own children more often, since he works the night shift at Oldsmobile in Lansing. “It’s just something we wanted to do and we really enjoy it,” said Nancy. Another reason is, “We don’t have little kids anymore so this way, we get to have a bunch of them,” she quip­ ped. In addition, Brown volunteers his time each Saturday to coach the fifth and sixth grade boys’ basketball teams. Brown strives to be as fair as possible when coaching, allowing each player an equal amount of playing time. Also, Nancy helps with the team as bookkeeper, and their two youngest sons, Derek and Matt, aid in coaching. The Browns are just two of 35 Maplewood Elementary school volunteers who generously give their time helping children receive a good education, academically as well as socially. “Most of the kids know we’re married to each other, (although one asked me once if I was Doug’s grand­ mother) and they see how we react to each other and to them,” stresses Nancy. “Most of them know our children too and they know us as a family.” Doug went on to add that in many cases, kids don’t get enough affection at home, so, “I’m not afraid of hugging them or tickling them and just having fun... I like to find the ones who hardly ever smile and try to get a good reaction out of them.” In that case, if he is successful, he has not only made the day a little brighter for that child, but for himeself as well in realizing he was able to help a child. The Browns decided to move to Vermontville nearly 10 years ago from Lansing, and both agree they are pleased with their decision. “People are very close 204 NORTH MAIN ST., NASHVILLE • 852-9107 school. “We’re very family oriented,” Nancy noted. The couple added that last Christmas, the two played the roles of Santa and Mrs. Claus at the school, but they weren’t able to fool everyone. “From first grade on up, they knew who we were,” said Brown. They recalled one student took a quick glance and said “Hi Mr. Brown” and another had said, “Hi coach!”. Although the Brown’s are often told how appreciated they are by the teachers, administrators and parents, they know the students appreciate them too. “When a student comes and gives me a hug, that says more than any words MARCH 8,1986 Continued next page— •9 P.M. ...at the VFW Hall, Nashville Sponsored by Nashville/Maple Grove/ Castleton Ambulance Service The Mirrors image „Alie Hiuoiue luiaae — MUSIC BY — Hairstylist for Men, Women and Children — here.

Maplewood principal Bill Christensen noted the school has a large number of volunteers “who have been very faithful,” and Doug and Nancy are among the first volunteers who “have been with us right along.” He added they are the only couple working together with the students as volunteers at Maplewood. “Doug and Nancy are just super people,” he said. “They’re very dependable people...like clockwork.” Christensen also noted school volunteers “are a very valuable asset to the educational program, and Doug and Nancy are unique. They don’t even have a student in grade school now.” Christensen stressed that there are others with a number of years experience as volunteers at the school, which tends to “build my faith in good people,” he said. To those thinking about donating their time for the youngsters, Nancy advises they “find out where they are needed. Just call and find out,” she said. “If you care enough to get involved, it can be a lot of fun,” added Nancy. Although the program has not been implemented into the schools yet, “Partners in Excellence” is a project of the Eaton Intermediate School District designed to generate more interest and training for school volun­ teers. The coordinator of the project for the Maple Valley Schools is Hildred Peabody ofVermontville who hopes to have the program im­ plemented by next year. Through “Partners in Excellence”, Eaton Intermediate School District, working with personnel from Charlotte, Eaton Rapids, Grand Ledge, Maple Valley and Potterville is striving to increase volunteer in­ volvement with the schools. The intent of the program is to supplement and enrich the educational programs in Eaton County Schools. The nationwide program is designed to make the schools more effective, creative and viable, not to relieve teachers of their duties. In the Maple Valley district, the program not only involves Maplewood school in Vermontville, but the high school, and Kellogg and Fuller schools in Nash­ ville as well. Recently, surveys were sent out to parents of children in the Maple Valley schools, to try to generate interest in becoming volunteers. This, said Peabody, is just part of laying the groundwork for what is to come. The end goal, she said, is to have a volunteer committee at each school building that would scout for other volunteers and promote the program. The committees would then meet as a whole and select one volunteer to head the committee for the entire school system. That volunteer coordinator would make regular reports to the school board and woik with the local contact person to determine the organizational structure of the program, along with numerous other respon­ sibilities. “We would also go along with the student volunteer concept,” Peabody said. High school students would be asked to help tutor other students. She noted volunteers are needed currently for classroom help, to work as advisors and for extra curricular activities. Presently, there are 35 volunteers working at Maplewood school in Vermontville, and 27 at Fuller School in Nashville who help teachers and supervise lunchroom activities. bta Itaifttaa £ KKtiiili h*s j5:ttteam ’U.K- lelitta* Be Mine Valentine Love $2°° Off y... your...

A long list of community actvities for Nehmer in­ cludes being a present EMT on the Vermontville Fire Department, a member of the Sesquicentennial Committee, a member of an extension study group, secretary and treasurer of the Eaton County Am­ bulance Association, and member ofthe Maple Valley Athletic Boosters. In the past, Nehmer served as secretary of the Maplewood P.T.O., chairman for the Eaton County March of Dimes and served on the board ofdirectors of the Tri­ County March of Dimes and was a den mother for the Vermontville Cub Scouts for three-years. Roger Trowbridge, 36, of 329 S, Main St. in Ver­ montville says he is running for a four year council seat because “I feel that if you’re going to do business in a community, you should get involved in the community.” Trowbridge, a Republican, is a mechanic for Trowbridge Service in Vermontville. “Having been involved in a family buisness all my life, I feel that I’m qualified to run the business of our com­ munity,” Trowbridge said. He is a lifelong resident of Vermontville, and is seeking his first bid for public office in the village. He is a member of the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters, and is the coach for jr. high track at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. Trowbridge and wife Susan have three children, Robbie, 16, Andy, 13, and Mark, 11. Rod Harmon, Republican candidate for a four-year trustee seat, has lived in the Vermontville area all his life, and has lived in the village for nine years at 360 S. Main St He is a janitor in the maintenance department of AE division of Hoover Group Inc. Harmon is a licensed emergency medical technician, and serves as a fireman and EMT on the Vermontville Fire Depart­ ment and rescue squad. He is also the treasurer of the fire department. Harmon and wife Shirley have three children, Chris, 11, Jason, 9, and Brandon, 6. “I am running for the office of village trustee because I would like to serve the community. I believe that the past or history of Vermontville, at times seems to be more important than Vermontville’s future. Our community’s history is important, but if we do not concern ourselves with our community’s future course, our village certainly will dip. I have heard this many times, ‘Vermontville is dead’. I believe that this is all this should remain is an expression. I am concerned not only with keeping families and business here, and the upgrading of our community, but with the ability as a village to attract more families and businesses,” he said. “This path or course can not be described in a few sentences, but in brief, it will take new and innovative ideas to do so.” He also added, “I am concerned with the main­ taining of police and fire and ambulance protection for the community. I am concerned because I realize that we have a limited income to Public Notice Rumors are apparently spreading to the effect that we are: a) quitting, b) retiring c) liquidating, or d) selling out We feel we owe it to our fine, loyal customers to set the record straight.

These are servics that nobody wants to cut but neither can we afford to raise the tax burden on our citizens.” “The best we can do is to maintain a budget that fairly allows these services to operate. I am concerned for our village employees for the recent incident involving an employee’s wage agreement that was blown out of proportion, and in my opinion, should not have received the scale of at­ tention it did. Our employees do good skilled labor, (and) therefore should be treated accordingly along with the fine job they do. “I realize that budgets are limited and dollars only gb so far. I am concerned that the budget of the village is such that the vital services mentioned above and our public utilities remian at their necessary operating levels. We must also look at this issue and other issues with an eye toward equality in every matter brought up to our council. If we give a break in some former matter to one individual, group, or business, we must give similar breaks to others of equal concern. “I am concerned that the many recent controversial issues that have come up do not deter our council from making controversial decisions. We should com­ promise when we can, but if we can’t, we should think of the most benefit to the most people because I realize not 100-percent of the people are 100-percent satisfied all the time. I am concerned for the elderly of our village as I would support a senior citizen housing project. I realize that my concern for sidewalk and street main­ tenance falls under budget expenses, but any grants to assist our village should be sought if available. The maintaining of our historical sites in our village are of concern also.” William C. Bailey has been a trustee on the Vermontville council for one year and three months. He is a Democrat seeking reelection to that four-year post. At age 64, Bailey is a retired journey lineman, and has been a resident of the village for nine years. Bailey, who resides at 225 N. Main, served as a payroll clerk which also involved filing and bookkeeping, for four years in the U. S. Army. He was a foreman and general foreman in line construction from 1950 to 1982. He presently is involved with the local pee wee baseball leagues. Bailey has six children and four step-children: Doneita 42, Ben, 41, William Bailey Jr. 39, Ed 37, Thomas, 30, Daniel, 9, Joe, 31, Gerald, 29, Cynthia, 27, and Cathy Robinson, 24. Bailey hopes to remain a member of the village council to see current projects completed such as roads, village housing, streets, and sidewalk repair, he said. “With this accomplished, businesses would be enticed to come into the village, which we need, to bring in new revenues,” Bailey added. He also feels horseshoe and tennis courts would be a smart addition to the village, and winter activities such as ice skating should be provided for the young and the old. Concerning the opera house renovation, Bailey says the subject is a personal concern that the whole community needs to be conscious about. “I will do all I can to help restore the building to be used once again for the purpose in which it can benefit all the people of Vermontville,” Bailey stressed. He added that the present council has ac­ complished much, helping the village to progress and prosper. “I would like to remain with the council and continue to support it’s efforts to complete the projects on the various committees I am working with,” he said. “I am looking forward to completing these.” Douglas J. Durkee, 31, of 300 S. Maple St. is a realtor associate with Maple Valley Realty, and hopes to win his first bid for election to the Vermontville Village Council. The Republican candidate is seeking a fouryear trustee term. Durkee has lived in Vermontville for six years, and is a 1974 graduate of Michigan State University. A member of Maple Valley Drift Skippers snowmobile club, he and wife Julee have a seven­ year-old son, Devon. Durkee said he believes there is room in village office for a young, “somewhat conservative, ‘middle of the road’ type person, such as myself, in a policy making position for betterment of the village.” Durkee added he feels “it is distressing to see residents up-in-arms and divided over matters such as a teen dance, when day to day activities and other, more important matters do not generate near as much public input or response. Compromise should come into play somewhere.” Durkee said he was en­ couraged by neighbors and other village residents to run for office. “I see a council seat as representing all the people, and voters should judge me on my ability to do so,” Durkee said. Kathleen Marsh, in­ cumbent Republican can­ didate unopposed in the election for village treasurer, has lived in Vermontville for-26 years. She has been the Ver­ montville village treasurer for 20-years, and also works as a business manager and dental assistant for Dr. Gregory Poole in Charlotte. Marsh, of 188 E. Main St., attends Grace Lutheran Church in Hastings, and is married to Wilbur Marsh. They have three children, Mrs. Alan (Linda) Hamlin, ofLake Odessa, Mrs. Dennis (Beckie) Day of San Francisco, CA, and Tom Marsh of Vermontville. Marsh said she agrees the senior citizen housing is needed in the village, and she would like to see all village streets blacktopped. “Most communities have their streets done. We have started and and I hope we can do some more,” she said. nrnminnniiiiTi'iiiii'niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniriiiiiniiiriiiriirnffllf Eaton County Extension CALENDAR OF EVENTS ...............................................................................

The old timers may remember the first piece of fire equipment used in Vermontville. In the Fire Barn is a picture of Vermontville old Waterous - donated by L.W. Loveland. Loveland passed away not long before 1963, and even than he boasted that he had been a firemen 50-years and had long been an honorary member. The original bill of sale dates the Waterous to November 21, 1913, and this machine is still functional to this day. It is always displayed during the Maple Syrup Festival and ac­ companies the fireman to many antique shows where the fruits of their efforts can be examined in the Fire Barn office in the way of trophies and medals. 1938 began the idea for a Fire Department constitution and it was complied along with the first set of by­ laws. The March meeting was called to order by L.W. Loveland and the group elected Vance Barber as their chief. The members that year consisted of Roy Mathews, Ken Ward, Karl Weiler, Bert Kimmell, Milton Lamb, Ed Keehnee, Gardner Roberts, Morris Wilson, Oliver Weiler, Tom Seitz, Lawrence Tubbs, Bob Roberts, Kenneth Powers, and Earl Fields who was the official whistle blower and Ted Brewer who became the official door dpener. At the December meeting of 1939, a motion was made that the firemen purchase enough canvas for a banner which would stretch across Main St. to advertise the annual Firemen’s Dance. The dance is still held an­ nually in February. In 1940 and 1941 new names appeared such as Arby Lovell, George Firster, Erbie Zemke, Phil Green, Gordon Lovell, Bernard Rogers and Howard Hay. In 1942, the department was notified and advised to in­ crease its members in the interest of national defense, also that each member take lessons in first aid. And so, these new members were added: George Hall, Leslie Faust, Lawrence Thrun, Dale Townsend, Frank Goris and Gerald Hammond. George Firster was elected chief that year as well. It isn’t clear where all of the department meetings were held, but the February meeting in 1944 was held in Firster’s Barber Shop where the firemen discussed the upcoming dance. In January of 1945, Bert Kimmell became the new chief and again, new names appeared on their roster as, Shirley Fast, Charles Dane, Velmer Border, Theodore Zemke, Raynor Reeves, John Iler, Carl Whaley, Otis Mills, Fred Mead and Bill Roush. Vance Barber became chief once again in 1946. AUTHENTIC HISTORICAL PATTERNS AVAILABLE BY ORDER Eyelet & Lace Trims. from 50£ Washable Velvet i SiateM 218 E.

Vermontville firefighters called the 1939 blaze at Tom Seitz's gas station "the hot one." The gas station and the building next to the old post office raged with fire in 1939. Elston Davis was assistant chief with Donald Kelsey as chairman of the dance. All of the net receipts were turned over to the township board that year to assist in the purchase of a new water tank wagon. Many things were accomplished under the direction of Vance Barber who passed away in 1948. He served the depart- ment for 30 years. 1946 was a year of 35 fire runs. Between the years of 1949 and 1962, George Firster and Elston Davis took turns serving as chief. Through the years, the names of the members have changed many times - some are gone forever but no one will ever forget how they have served the community. ihiiihiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir Obituaries |||1||||1||||||||||||||iiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiuii Anthony Alvin Gauck LAKE ODESSA - Anthony Alvin Gauck, 67, of 1615 Tupper Lake St., Lake Odessa died Tuesday, Jan. 28, 1986.

Farm equipment, supplies outlook is mixed by Allen P. Krizek, County Extension Director The plant closings and mergers that have plaqued the farm equipment industry in recent years have cut the potential oversupply of new farm equipment, but prices are still not expected to rise in 1986. “With nearly a year’s inventory of finished machines on hand and competiton from good used machinery, ample quantities of nearly all items will be available,” says Jack McEowen, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service agricultural economist. “Many manufacturers have devoted a great deal of their research and development to reducing manufacturing costs, however, enabling them to make a profit selling at current prices with a small increase in sales,” McEowen says. Brand name farm supplies should also be readily available, with prices fir­ ming. McEowen says some temporary shortages may exist when supplies are in season, however. McEowen believes fuel prices will fall but says it is difficult to predict exactly when. “Oil-producing countries are increasing production, and chances are good that fuel prices will begin to fade by spring planting. Major refineries have kept crude oil in­ ventories low in anticipation ofa dramatic pricedrop,” he says. “Prices for natural gas, a major component of nitrogen production, are projected to continue to fall because of deregulation and competition from oil. The result will be lower nitrogen fer­ tilizer prices,” McEowen says. “Prices for potash and phosphate are expected to rise slightly, however, so little net change in fertilizer prices is expected,” he says. “A weakening U.S. dollar is making imported agricultural goods more expensive to U.S. con­ sumers. An extreme drop in the dollar could give U.S. suppliers the opportunity to raise prices, but that much weakness is not expected during 1986,” he says.

Fixing the old, used and worn toys usually involves making new clothes, adding new hair, and washing, which gives the dolls the appearance of being like new. This past year, the two women, who live near Nash­ ville, donated six-dolls to the Nashville Community Christmas Baskets, which were used to make the holiday a little brighter for those less fortunate. Making ceramic dolls is also a favorite pastime for Mary Jane, and has been for nearly 15 years. ., She, along with her mother, Valia, 90, has lived on Assyria Road for more than a year after moving from the Traverse City area. Mary Jane noted that making the ceramic dolls involves pouring a clay mixture into molds, firing them in a kiln, painting, and firing them three more times. In all, she has 20different molds she uses. “The small ones sell faster than the bigger ones,” she noted, adding the size of the Vermontville Fire, Firefighters Association and when time permitted, they tried to get to those meetings. The secretary’s note stated that the firemen treated their wives to an evening out for supper and a program once a year just to say thanks for hunting up that one shoe that was missing when they were trying to dress at 2 a.m. to answer the siren. 1966 came and the names changed again - Dale BriggsChief, Jim Zemke, Cleo Prescott, Jim Faust, Wilbur Mars, Ray Schriver, Jack Rathburn, Russ Kilpatrick,. “I get from $12 to $15 each for them but in most other places they cost more,” said Mary Jane. For Valia, quilting has been a favorite pastime for the past 30 years. During that time she has made a quilt for each of her eight children. “It takes about eight to nine months to' finish a Valia Bradfield of near Nashville makes dolls, quilts, afghans and throw rugs in her spare time. ITTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllliliiii From our readers To the Editor: As I reflect on the ac­ complishments of 1985, I want to express my personal appreciation to the people of Michigan’s Third Congressional District for sending Representative Howard Wolpe to Washington. As Director of Congressional Affairs for the National Taxpayers Union, I spend my days encouraging members of Congress to exercise the kind of political will and courage it takes to eliminate wasteful govern­ ment spending. It’s a dif- continuedfrom page 12— a few third generation members, as they follow along in their father’s footsteps. 1964 recorded 35 fire calls and at each monthly meeting, the fire equipment received a thorough going over. A school in fire training was held through the University of Michigan Extension Service and at­ tendance was high. The Firemens’ Dance was a big success due to some per­ sistant ticket selling. The fire extinguisher sale was also successful to 73 homes. During football season,the firemen were on hand to park cars. They were members then, as now, of the Alert dolls range from 3% inches to about 19 inches tall. After the bodies ofthe dolls are assembled, the hand­ made clothes are then ad­ ded. Many of the dolls are sold to interested buyers in the area and in Illinois, where sister Jeanne Cembrowicz owns and operates a craft shop. quilt,” said Valia. “I just like to have something to do and I like to make something pretty,” she said. Valia also enjoys crocheting in her free time, using her skill to make numerous original afghan styles. Each of her children received afghans from their mother for Christmas last year. One sort of unusual creation of Valia’s is a throw rug made from plastic bread wrappers. “It’s easy to clean, you just put it in the washing machine and then let it drip dry,” noted Mary Jane. She and her mother decided to move to their rural Nashville home to be closer to other members of the family. “We have family from Vermontville, Otsego, Plainwell, Hastings and Yankee Springs,” Mary Jane noted. Other relatives live in Kalamazoo and Holland. The annual Alpine Festival held in July in Traverse City is one place where the mother and daughter team have sold their wares. “We’ve sold things at the craft show there probably five or six times,” Mary Jane said.

And again in 1972, the positions of officers were that of: Cleo Prescott-Chief, assistants-Ty Strong and Gary Reed. The Secretary was Bill Nicholos, Treas.Wilbur Marsh, Capt.-Charles Viele and the lieutenants were Don Thompson and Bob Fickes. During the year, the Department had a total of 75 calls, 45 of which were ambulance. It was a year with several fires with high value loss with Leo Malcuit, Don Wetzel, B.O. Wyble and Les Fox all having bad barn fires. 945-9554 for ACTION Want-Ads Call 9 to 5:30 Daily ficult job, but without the determined leadership and advocacy of Congressional members like Howard Wolpe, it would be an im­ possible task. The National Taxpayers Union celebrated some important victories in 1985, and in every case, Congressman Wolpe played a key role in our success. At a time when no one on Capitol Hill believed it was possible to abolish the deeply entrenched and blatantly wasteful Synthetic Fuels Corporation (SFC), Congressman Wolpe laun­ ched a campaign in Congress to terminate its funding. In 1984, he succeeded in cutting the Corporation’s bankroll by $5 billion. And in the closing weeks of 1985, the final nail was pounded into the SFC’s coffin, when Congress, with the leader­ ship to Congressman Wolpe, was persuaded to abolish the wayward agency altogether. These actions represent a cumulative savings to the taxpayer of some 12 billion! When land developers in New York City dreamed up a preposterous plan to use $4 to $6 billion in federal highway funds to turn a portion of the Hudson River into prime real estate for commercial development, Congressman Wolpe shared our sense of outrage. Joining forces with only a handful of his colleagues, Mr. Wolpe waged a successful assault against this blatant waste of taxpayer dollars. The result was yet another victory. The Westway project was scuttled and several-billions of dollars were saved. Over the years, Congressman Wolpe’s work on behalf of the taxpayer has been both impressive and effective. The Congressman has become a political force with which Congressional spendthrifts must reckon. And as he continues to gain more influence and even greater within the Congress, I look forward to celebrating with him even bigger and better taxpayer victories.

Godbey John Hughes By Shelly Sulser Two Republican newcomers hope to clinch the office-of village clerk in Nashville when voters go to the polls in the Feb. 17 primary election. Pamela J. Godbey and Cynthia G. Doolittle are the candidates for the clerk post, a job Susan M. Corkwell has held since 1975. If there is not Cynthia G. Doolittle Justin W. Cooley a successful write-in cam­ paign, the new clerk will be selected in the primary. With Corkwell choosing not to seek reelection, many of the duties she has handled will be given to a new office manager the council plans to hire. In the past, the clerk worked in the village office 35 hours per week and Marsha Ainslie Carl Tobias received an annual salary of $13,500 per year. The new clerk that takes over in April, after the March 10 general election, will be on the job parttime, work out of her home and earn about $3,500 yearly. A third candidate for clerk, Katie Goodner has withdrawn from the election, although her name will still Suzanne L. Kienutske Larry Filter appear on the ballot. All public offices up for reelection in Nashville’s primary have two year terms, and all candidates are Republicans, including the six candidates for three available trustee seats. The trustee terms also will be decided in the primary, unless a successfid write-in campaign is waged by a Vermontville Council okays prison study by Shelly Sulser The Vermontville council voted unanimously Thur­ sday to investigate the possibility of building a prison in or near Ver­ montville. According to trustee Russ Bennett who brought the idea before the council, the village could realize nearly $3.5 million per year in revenue from the proposd 550-bed system. He also added that the prison could employ nearly 150 people, half of which would live in the immediate area of the facility. Bennett said he previously discussed his idea with three members of the Michigan State Prison Clearance and Location committee, who he had hoped would be present at the meeting to discuss the proposal with members of the village council. “...They are definately interested in putting one (a medium security prison) in this area,” Bennett told the council. - Bennett said he thought the prison system would be a good way to generate revenue to the village, in view of recent concern for Vermontville’s future financial status. “They need prison systems in the state of Michigan,” Bennett said, “They have a hard time finding communities that will go along with it.” He also noted that building prisons in Michigan is presently a prime concern of the state because the government has mandated that a certain number of prisons be built within a specified amount of time. “It’s do that or turn them (prisoners) loose,” Bennett told the council. “And I take the choice of locking them up over turning them loose, even if they have to do it here,” he said. Although Ed MarkWart, Jim Curren and Bill Kime of the state penal system were not present at the meeting, Bennett said they had ex­ pressed concern whether the village waste disposal and water system could handle 550 more residents. Department of Public Works Superintendent Tony Waweirnia claimed the extra 40,000 gallons of water per day could be pumped by the local system, but the village lagoons could become over capacitated by the overload, since they are only designed to handle a population of 1,000. (Vermontville’s population presently stands at nearly 850). Preliminary steps to contsructing the prison would include an extensive feasibility study by the state to determine where it should be built and numerous other questions. Councilman Jim Peterson added that the state would first need a positive con­ census of the village governmental unit before further steps could be taken. “That’s where we started, and that’s where we’re at. It’s now being brought out from under the bedcovers into the public light and nothing more can be done until such a time as we can find out when we could meet with them as a community, not just as a council but as a community so that the public could have any questions they might have answered by people who know, not by people who are sitting here,” Peterson said. Bennett added that in talking with MarkWart, he learned that as a part of the feasibility Study, the men would enter the village and talk with groups of citizens to make them aware of the dangers, “but...generally people have fear of something that doesn’t happen,” said Bennett, who noted “there’s only been one case in the entire penal history of Michigan where the prisoners have escaped and done any harm in the immediate area and that (case) is being prosecuted now in Jackson.” But village resident Harold Stewart of Maple Street argued, “I don’t have a fear of the prisoners, I have a fear of you putting that thing next to my house and having trucks go by all the time.” Stewart expressed this concern after the council discussed where the facility might be built. One suggestion was behind Maple Street, while Bennett said he preferred it be constructed at the sight of the Ponderosa Campground, located south of town on Ionia Road. “They need a minimum of PRISON continued on page 2— Lois J. Elliston Frank A. Purchis another candidate(s). Also up for reelection in this year’s primary are the village president, village treasurer and village assessor. All the incumbents for these jobs are running unopposed. Candidate profiles follow: Pamela J. Godbey, 22, is in the race for village clerk in Nashville, a job which holds a two year term. She has lived in Nashville for 17 years, and is a 1981 graduate of Maple Valley High School. She studied computer programming at Kellogg Community College and presently serves as deputy clerk in Castleton township. Godbey is also a member of the Maple Valley Class of ’81 reunion committee, and works as a cashier at Carl’s Supermarket in Nashville. Living at 618 Washington St., she and husband Glenn have two children, Sean, 2 and Tar an, 1. “Having served as Castleton Township Deputy Clerk, I find public service very interesting and challenging,” Godbey said. “I would welcome the op­ portunity to better serve the residents of Nashville.” Cynthia G. Doolittle, lives at 212 Middle St., and says she is running for the office of village clerk “because I think I could do a good job for the village. I am good with figures and enjoy working with the public.” At age 30, Doolittle has been a Nashville resident for 29 years and is a past vice president and delegate of the Maple Valley Co-op Nursery. She is a graduate of Maple Valley High school and at­ tended Lansing Community College and Kellogg Com- Don Williams munity College to study banking. She has three children: Mindy Jo, 13; Gregory Leon, 10; and Lacey Rochelle, 3. Concerning local issues, Doolittle, who has had some banking and bookkeeping experience, says “As far as taking a stand on issues that concern the village, I don’t think that concerns the clerk position as much as it would someone running for council...I’m not trying to understate the respon­ sibilities of the clerk, but my opinion on village matters wouldn’t be pertinent as far as the clerk position is concerned since the clerk does not have a vote at council meetings.” Carl Tobias is an in­ cumbent candidate for village trustee, an office he has held for eight years. He has been a Nashville resident for 19 years, served on the zoning board for 12 years and is a representative to the planning commission. Tobias, 50, works as a quality control inspector for General Motors Warehouse for Parts and Distribution. He and wife Geraldine live at 260 Fuller St. and have four children: Laurie, 23, Carl Jr. 21, Brice, 19 and Carmen, 17. He made no comment concerning his reason for seeking office or concerning local issues. Suzanne L. Kienutske is making her first bid for public office, seeking a village trustee term in Nash­ ville.

February PRIMARY fl, 1986 — Page 2 continued from front pag ville resident for 21 years, and lives at 209 E. Washington St. with husband Lonny, and children Lee, 18, and Lona 15. Kienutske, 40, is a 1964 graduate of Maple Valley High School. She works for Lonny’s ap­ pliances and Sandyland Park. She has been involved with the Girl Scout program in Nashville for several years, and has helped with the Harvest Festival. Kienutske said she enjoys living in a small town. “Living and raising my children in the environment of a community such as Nashville has been for the most part really good,” she said. “We enjoy the small town closeness and yet are in need ofsome advantages of a larger city, such as more businesses, more activities for the youth and senior citizens and more in­ volvement in all phases of community living. This is why I am running for trustee, to become more involved with my com­ munity.” She also added that “changes don’t happen overnight, but if I can help in any way to make Nashville a better place to live then, I will achieve one of my goals. The other main goal I have is to, at all times keep the people of Nashville knowledgeable as to what the council has planned for its future” Frank A. Purchis of 206 S. Main St. has lived in Nash­ ville for 32 years, and is seeking a seat on the council as a trustee “I think if you don’t like what’s going on, get involved,” said Purchis. “Then you will have the right to say something without someone saying ‘talk is cheap.’ Do something.” Purchis, 40, is a truck driver for M. Davis Con­ struction, and, along with wife Judy, has two sons, Frank A. Purchis, 17, and Jeffery A. Purchis, 14. Purchis went on to say he feels a council agenda should be printed in the newspaper prior to the meeting date in order to inform the public of planned action. “That way, people can go to any of the meetings and get more involved before a problem begins,” Purchis said, adding, “Just get in­ volved and vote. This is your town, something to be proud of.” Marsha Ainslie, 35 was recently appointed by the council to fill a seat vacated by George Frith who resigned. Ainslie, a lifelong resident of the village hopes to retain her trustee seat on the council. She works as a hairdresser for Mirror’s Image in Nashville, and serves on the planning commission, serves as a coach, vice president and treasurer for the Nashville little league and is a Girl Scout leader. She and husband Michael have two children: Marcie, 14, and Mitchell, 11. “I feel the need to help the community to listen to the peoples’ concerns and act accordingly,” Ainslie said. Don Williams, 48, of 325 Maple St. is a retired structural engineer, and a lifelong Nashville resident. Hoping to be elected to the council as a trustee, Williams has served five years on the zoning board of appeals, seven years as a volunteer at the Barry County Medical Care Facility and as a Cub Scout leader. He is a ^^per of the Grace Luthe hurch in Hastings. H ended Nashville High l and received his t ng in structural engin He and wife Diana four children: Cas 22, Gregory, 20, Lora, 18, and Kara, 14. Williams said he feels the media plays an important role in informing the public about local matters. “I would like to see more open and publicized issues brought to the public by the news media,” Williams said, such as local issues and “any time any money is spent. I would like to see the police and water and sewage reports recorded in the minutes of the council meetings and publicized in the paper,” Williams con­ tinued. “I feel if people are more aware of what’s going on, there would be no doubts.” Williams added that he is a “very community minded person. I think we ought to listen to the people when issues come up.” Larry Filter also hopes to win a seat on the village council as a trustee. He has lived in the village for three years, but has lived in the area for 30 years. An em­ ployee of Carl’s Super­ market, Filter says he is running for office because “I am interested in what happens in this community as far as taxes, increases, (how) the village is run and also the need for a place for the kids to go and have a good time with supervision.” Filter, 46, lives at 209 How do you guarantee a home for your family, even if you’re not there?

He added he would like to see com­ munity clean up days in the village where all trash is picked up, “not just a few things like (in) the past.” John Hughes, 38, is the unopposed incumbent running for village president in Nashville, seeking his third term. Hughes previously held the position of trustee on the council before being becoming village president in 1982. “The village needs to actively pursue attracting new industry to the village,” Hughes said. He works as a social studies teacher at Maple Valley High School and is a graduate of Central Michigan University. He and wife Ruth live at 9711 Brumm Rd* and have two daughters, Samantha, 10 and Sarah, 7. Justin W. Cooley, 65, is the Republican incumbent seeking reelection to his post of village assessor, running unopposed. He lives at 512 N. Main St. and has served as village assessor for 18 years, and as Castleton Township Supervisor for 13 years. He is a high school graduate and studied assessment ad­ ministration at Olivet College. He is a member of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce and Lions Club, and serves as zoning ad­ ministrator for the village and building inspector for the township. Cooley has three children: Debra Ann Cooley, James W. Cooley and Gale L. Chaffee. He made no comment con­ cerning local issues. Lois J.

Bennett went on to say that the village charter gives the council the right to annex the portion of ground into the village, should such a system be built, without having to buy the land. “They (state officials) would be making the decision, because they know what they have to have,” said Bennett, “but I ex­ plained to Ed Markwart where my first choice was and he said he’d be glad to look at it.” Council trustee Donald Lewis stressed the im­ portance of informing the public conerning the matter. “You have to get everybody together and work together on this, and then maybe the public would The Grange is a place where you can grow!

Up until its recent move, the pharmacy held the distinction of being the village’s oldest continous business operating in the same location. More than a century ago the first prescription was compounded at F.T. Boise’s drug store and became the earliest of a multitude of healing compounds dispensed by the pharmacy, owned and operated since that time by a series of owners including presentday proprietor David Mace. “Put a teaspoonful in a wine glass full of water and use as a gargle every 2-3 hours,” instructed an Oc­ tober 26, 1885, order now preserved in an early scrapbook file at the pharmacy. Annotated as the 16th Von W. Furniss spent 57 years on Nashville's Main Street, most of them in a drug stqre he owned solely or in partnership for 41 years. He started at the pharmacy as a schoolboy sweeping floors, and rose to prom­ inence as a businessman, learning pharmacology through apprenticeship. order filled at the new store, the prescription cost the sum of 25 cents. Legible ingredients include tincture of feric chloride, potassium chloride, and zinc sulfate dilute with distilled water. Most of the early prescriptions were written by Dr. Goucher. There were two colorful doctors named Goucher in Nashville’s past. The elder, C.W. Goucher, held forth as a physician in Maple Grove, though he could scarcely read or write, according to memories of the late Lew Lentz published in The Nashville News in 1948. “Young Joe (J.T. Goucher) was more of a doctor than his father, having gone away to medical school,” noted Lentz in that report. He remembered the son as a “Likeable fellow, rather a hard drinker with a roving eye,” as he recounted young Goucher Goucher’’ss con­ troversial 1888 trial and conviction on charges of grave-robbery at the Barryville cemetery and his subsequent conviction and sentencing to a year of hard labor at Jackson State Prison. (The complete Goucher story was told in a Memories Shortly after this 1915 photo, H.D. Wotring (center) became sole owner of the store until ill health forced him to resell to his former partner, Von W. Furniss, in 1926. Doorway signs advertise drugs, wallpaper, phonographs, jewelry, watchmaking and optical ser­ vices. Clerk Dan Garlinger is at left and a jeweler nam­ ed Darrow at right. Until the 1930s the store employed a full-time jeweler. During its more than 100 years in this location the drug store had nine full or part-owners. Seen at work in this 1950s photo is Adolph Douse, Jr., the first employee of the Furniss store to acquire a formal pharmaceutical education. Douse also began work there as a high school student, earning his apprent ticeship and money to finance his formal education. He later became a partner, then full owner of the drua store. published February 23, 1982.) A few years before Goucher’s sad fate, Freel Boise, who built his brick drug store with a false second-story front so he could claim ownership of Nashville’s tallest Main Street building, sold the business to Nashville physician Dr. C. E. Goodwin. For the next few years most prescriptions were both ordered and filled by Dr. Goodwin, who operated the pharmacy in conjunction with his medical practice. In 1985 Goodwin sold the pharmacy to Edward Liebhauser, a 24-year-old drug store clerk, the son of a local tailor. Three years later, Dr. Edgar T. Morris, a beloved physician who was to serve the local community for more than half a century, opened his first office in quarters above the store. After seven years ownership, Liebhauser sold the store to two employees. “An important business change will take place at the end of this month,’’ reported The News in September 1902, “when two young men in the employ of Ed Liebhauser will become owners of the Liebhauser store, which is Nashville’s leading drug, jewelry, wallpaper and book store.” The new owners were Von W. Furniss and Ralph Foote, the former being a phar­ macist and the latter “an expert watchmaker,” ac­ cording to The News. Unfortuntely, Foote was in failing health and died early in 1903 at age 29, leaving When Mace Pharmacy vacated these quarters last week it marked the end of an era and the start of another in their brand new Main Street location. Until the recent move this store had housed Nashville's oldest continuous business in the same location, under a succession of owners.

Optical services also were available. The list of merchandise at the drug store seemed endless, ranging from phonographs to wallpaper. “We had over 300 patterns of wallpaper in stock and the largest greeting card display in Barry County,” recalled Douse. Scenic postcards, sometimes produced from local photos that Adolph shot with a giant camea, filled a wall rack, and the selection of views furnished a vast photographic record of the village. (Many of the pic­ tures we now use in the weekly Memories series originated there.) In addition to toiletries, cigars, film, patent medicines and other stan­ dard pharmacy fare, the store also provided an unusual community, service. “We sold textbooks for the school, to all rural and local students,” noted Douse. Until 1949, when the school system assumed the responsibility, books were sold in the fall at the store, inventoried and repaired there during the summer, and offered for resale along with newly-order volumes at the start of each school year. Ofall his fond memories of the pharmacy, perhaps the most unusual Douse recalls is a “human fly” who came to town in the 1930s, boasting that he would scale the face of the tallest building on Main Street. Selecting the drug store, and using only his hands and tennis-shoed feet, the daredevil suc­ cessfully completed his mission. At Douse’s retirement from full-time pharmacy, the store was sold to C. John Simon in 1966. Thirteen years later Simon died of a heart attach at age 56, and present-day owner David Mace became proprietor of the business in 1979.

Before our eyes the mighty Space Ship Challenger blew up in an inferno of heat and explosive power. Seven Heroic Astronauts were blasted into eternity in one awful second. Space flights had become so common and routine that we had almost taken success for granted. We had always been aware of the dangers but when we saw the ultimate failure no one was really prepared. In the face of grief and tragedy, the incomparable spirit of the America of old clearly emerged. Honest tears were openly shed and deep emotions clearly evident. Yet while eyes were red from weeping on the one hand, quiet determination not to quit was gripping the other. In the twinkling of an eye we were humbled. In spite of enormous strides in technological and scientific achievement the realization that man was finite and not infinite became all too clear. The nation had become so affluent and sophisticated that it felt the Almighty could be denied, suddenly found itself in the position of no where else to turn for strength and comfort. Children in school classrooms, in the simply trusting faith of childhood, openly prayed for a heroic and beloved teacher without fear of censure and having the law brought down upon them. The President and the Vice-President of these United States, barley able to control their emotions, committed seven heroes into the Hand of God. Millions were suddenly brought face to face with the uncertaintly of life and the implications of eternity. The memorial observance in Huston was one of deep reverence, sorrow and all of the special attributes that has made America great. We honored the memory of those whose lives had exemplified the work ethic, personal integrity, courage, self­ discipline, love for family, love for country and a reverence for God. Absent were any thoughts of racial or ethnic implications. WE WERE ONE PEOPLE UNITED IN GRIEF AND SINGLE MINDED IN DETERMINATION. We were in the presence of death, but not of defeat! The President spoke movingly of seven who were now soaring on the wings of life eternal. We sensed the indomitable spirit of a people that had created the AMERICAN DREAM. We knew that it was our challenge to make certain that the dream never dies. As a blessed part of the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave we must carry on! Edgar Fleetham Sunfield To the Editor: God bless America and President Reagan. I just listened to his “State of the Union speech”. If we want a free nation forr our children and grandchildren, we had better take the cuts he suggests and then some. I wish everyone reading this letter would contact their congressman and ask that the federal government cut our funding of the United Nations at least 50 percent. That would save America $500 million each year. It’s common knowledge that the U.N. is a hotbed of Soviet K.G.B. agents, so why fund them? Let’s keep our Nation by not asking for more but by giving up those things we can live without.

Friday evening, with the scene set and background music by the Maple Valley Jazz Band, the class representatives and King and Queen candidates were introduced as they filed into the gym, walked down the white runner and through the flowered arch. Matt Coleman was chosen King. Gary Reid, Maple Valley’s 1985 Winter Homecoming King, presented Matt with a medallion. Wendy Williams was selected as Queen.

Troop 176 traveled to the Leila Arboretum in Battle Creek on Saturday, Jan. 29 to participate in the 29th annual Nottawa Trails District Klondike Derby. The 125 Scouts were represented in 19 different patrols. The Nashville Troop took two patrols to the event, the Vikings and the Moun­ tainmen. The patrols were asked to compete in several different events, including lashing poles together to raise their flags, explain trail signs, build a fire and boil a pot of water, and signal a message using hand signs or flags. When the competition was completed the Viking Patrol placed first in the event and the Mountainmen placed seventh. This was the second year that the Nashville Troop placed first in the Klondike Derby. year’s sale will provide about 55 percent of the Council’s budget.

Part of the money raised goes directly to each local troop for use in their projects. Last year 304,908 boxes of commerically baked cookies were sold in the Council. That’s quite a contrast from 1927, when Scouts and their mothers baked 1,500 dozen cookies in the basement of the Presbyterian Church House to raise money to buy tents for camp! — PUBLIC INVITED — PRESIDENTS’ DAY SPECIALS KERI LOTION BAYER REGULAR.

The former Lion basketball star who is now playing in the MIAA at Olivet, Hamilton had an excellent Maple Valley's Mike Siple (30) lays in a shot against Springfield. TnniTnnTTnffinnTTnffTnnnTffnnTnTnnTnTnTnnnnnnTnnn Sports pre-season averaging in double figures while playing 25 minutes per game. But once the MIAA season started the 5-9 guard became the team’s sixth man and lost 10 minutes per game playing time. The switch left Hamilton, who had started 10 of the Comets’ 19 games prior to last Saturday, wondering where he fits into the Comet program, but he still doesn’t bemoan his first year in college. “Sometimes I make little mistakes during a game and youjust can’t do that thing in college and play,” says Hamilton, who pumped in 1,237 career points and scored in double figures 64 of his 66 high school games. Hamilton’s playing time may increase this week after tossing in 19 points coming in off the bench against Kalamazoo last Wednesday. It wasn’t the only highlight of Hamilton’s year as he earlier had a 24-point night against the Hornets and 14 against Aquinas. Hamilton began the first Jeff Hamilton week of the season on the Comet junior varsity team, mainly because Olivet had 2 returnees at the guard position. He said adjusting to life on the bench has been difficult. “Sort of,” said Hamilton. “You always want to play more.” M.V. slips past Rams with big 4th quarter Maple Valley used a strong fourth quarter to win for only the second time in the team’s last 8 games in a narrow 67­ 64 win over Springfield. The win snapped a brief 2game Lion losing streak and upped the team’s record to 4­ 11 overall and 3-7 in the SMAA. The Lions wiped out a 37-27 Ram halftime lead by scoring the first 12 points of the third period and making the score 39-37 with 4 minutes left in the quarter. Maple Valley still led 45-44 by the end of the period. The lead stayed in the 2-3 point category until with under 2 minutes to go when Springfield cut the margin to 61-60. But the Lions’ Tai Gearhart, who hit 8 free throws in the last 2 minutes, hit 2 more and Springfield could draw no closer. Lion coach Jerry Reese said the weather actually was a factor in the game. “We had had 5 straight days off practice prior to the game,” said Reese of last week’s ice storm. “That’s the first time in 18 years of coaching I’ve ever done that. We just couldn’t get our kids in and I knew that would effect the game.” It apparently effected Maple Valley more than Springfield with the Rams compiling a 17-9 first quarter lead and then upping that to 37-27 by the half. Both teams hit 26 field goals with the Lions at­ tempting 62 and Springfield 53. The difference came at the free throw line where the Lions hit 15-of-30 and Springfield was 12-of-18. “Obviously 50 percent is not very good,” admitted Reese of his team’s lowly percentage. Individually, Gearhart, who had scored only a total of 23 points his last 2 games, finished with 24. Mike Siple added a season-high 21 and George Steinbrecher added 11. Jordan Ferrier added 6 and Troy Thompson chipped in 6 including 4 big fourth quarter points. Maple Valley hosts Lakewood tonight and travels to SMAA unbeaten Bronson on Friday.

Although the company’s owner, C. Wayne Wright indicated he did not know when TRIAD could service the Vermontville area, he did say residents who owned satellite dishes could have Home Box Office (HBO) descrambling devices within two weeks. HBO began scrambling its satellite signal Jan. 15, thereby making it im­ possible for satellite dish owners to receive the channel without a descrambling device. For residents without satellite receivers, the company would first have to obtain permission from the Eaton County Board of Commissioners to franchise the county before the service could actually operate in Vermontville. At the commission’s Feb. 12, Wright said he will use Vermontville’s documen­ tation “to show Eaton County that we’re starting on this.” He added the county can’t give the company permission to go into the villages without consent of the village government. “We have every bit of confidence that we’ll get it county wide,” said Wright. He noted that he must work to obtain permission from the county villages to franchise within them to “tie it together as a package.” He said he could supply satellite dishes to people who wish to own or lease them within the month, but he did not know when he could lay cable in the village.

SOURS, Secretary Nashville Zoning Board of Appeals NOTICE of PUBLIC HEARING February 20, 1986, at 7:00 p.m., at the Community Center in Nashville. PURPOSE: Richard Martin is requesting a variance in order to convert the house located at 509 East Sherman to a two-family dwelling. The property is presently zoned R-1. SHARLOT A. SOURS, Secretary Nashville Zoning Board of Appeals “There is no way I can predict when you will get the service,” Wright said, because permission would first have to be granted by the utility companies who own the poles. Wright said he plans to offer the service on a regional basis, making the service available to rural areas, as well as in the municipalities. Presently, the company already has 22 franchises in Michigan and Indiana, including Charlotte, Hastings and Marshall, with offices located in each. He added that the com­ pany does not plan to lay cable throughout the county, but to service people in the rural areas that have satellite dishes and cannot get a descrambling device from someone other than a representative of HBO. He noted his company is an HBO representative. The agreement signed by the village gives the com­ pany, Wright said, the right to supply the service to the people in the Vermontville. He noted that where there are clusters of homes, such as Vermontville, the com­ pany will build a small system. For farmers, “we’ll go with a dish arrangement. They don’t have to buy the dishes from us, they can go anywhere they want to for that. Also, we’ll descramble on a house by house basis. “I do want to serve this community. This community has waited decades for this kind of service,” Wright told the council. Wright noted that eight to ten cable channels will be scrambled by Labor Day, and the descrambling device will descramble up to 56 channels. Customers will have their choice of which channels they will receive, and can obtain the basic cable ser- Castleton Township Board Minutes vice of 11 channels for $9 per month. “They don’t have to buy them all, we can package it any way they want to,” and pay by the channel, he said. The company will also meet with the Barry County Board of Commissioners for the second time this Wed­ nesday. Two weeks ago the Barry board decided to delay making a decision on Wright’s request for a county contract so the county prosecutor could review the proposed contract, and the board’s county development committee could study the matter and make a recommendation at the commissioner’s Feb. 12 meeting. In other business, the council voted to consult with village attorney about drawing a legal agreement with Skory Communications of Lansing, who requested permission to install a repeater antenna at the top of the water tower. The council agreed to have the agreement drawn and to give the company per­ mission to erect the anntenna. The company will pay the village $75 per month for rental. In a letter to the Eaton County Road Commission from Eaton County Com­ missioner Edgar Fleetham, read to the council by deputy clerk Jill Booher, Fleetham suggested that when work is resumed on Vermontville Highway, the county start at the village limits of Ver­ montville and work east­ ward.

Wiles, Engineer Manager of the Eaton County Road Commission, told the council that the suggestion will' be given serious consideration. The council also discussed a request made by resident Ruth Carrier last month that a fence be constructed along the west side of the second street ball field and the existing backstop be replaced to prevent baseballs, hit foul, from damaging her roof and car. Council trustee Russ Bennett reported he has since spoken with Carrier who apprently said if the council choose not to build the fence and damage is done to her property or people on it, ‘there will be a lawsuit.’ Trustee Don Lewis responded by saying, “As far as I’m concerned, that’s a threat...therefore, it would be a cold day in ----------before I would even attempt to do that (build the fence) because they knew what the situation was when they moved there. We built a new backstop and everything there to please them once...” One suggestion made by Bennett involved the possibility of adding a peice of fence at the top of the existing backstop, but the council decided to adhere to the decision it made last month to do nothing. meritorious service, acts of courage, or other ac­ complishments. Edinger is an infantryman with the 4th Infantry. His wife, Ronda, is the daughter of Ronald W. and Diane C. Labelle of 9000 Hollester Road, Laingsburg.

Tips for "Children at home alone The phenomenon of young children being left at home alone is one that is growing in the United States. If parents must leave children on their own for some part of the day, the Safety Council for Southwest Michigan urges parents to learn about potential problems and teach their children how to avoid them. To facilitate this education, a new booklet entitled “child alone” is available from the safety council. With the rise in single parent and two income families, recent studies estimate that seven million elementary school children spend some time at home alone after school. The pattern in Michigan is similar to the national ex­ perience with up to 25 per­ cent (375,000) of Michigan’s schoolaged children five to 14 years of age returning home after school to a house where no adults are present. In certain urban areas, Michigan census data in­ dicates, the percentage of school-aged children in “self-care” is considerably Boosters earn $600 from Spaghetti dinners held The Maple Valley Athletic Boosters report a profit of over $600 raised from two spaghetti dinners this winter. The money is to be used to purchase new uniforms for boys’ and girls’ basketball. Many people contributed to the success of the project. Lois Gardner donated many extra hours in the kitchen and was ably assisted by Donna Mahon and Donna Hickey who also volunteered their time. Bertie Forell lined up volunteered to serve.

Thelen, Extension 4-H Youth Agent Several Eaton County 4-H teen and adult livestock leaders will share program ideas and skills with other Michigan 4-H’ers at a teen livestock leaders’ workshop March 1-2 at Kettunen Center in Tustin. This workshop is spon­ sored by the Michigan 4-H Foundation through a grant provided by Farm Credit Services and the Michigan Pork Producers Association. For further information about the livestock workshop or other 4-H activities, contact the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service Office, at 543-2310 or 372-5594. provided pies for dessert Nelson Appleman and the Creamette company donated spaghetti through Carl’s Supermarket. The Athletic Boosters at Maple Valley raise $50,000 annually to support Lion athletes. Volunteers are always needed to continue the sports program. If you have not been contacted by a Booster to help the athletic program, please contact your child’s coach or a Booster member. Thanks to everyone who worked on the dinners and to the public for attending, said a Booster spokesperson. higher. A child at home alone must be prepared to deal with a variety of situations. Do they know what to do to avoid abduction, or if a stranger comes to the door? Could they deal with household emergencies or administer basic first aid? How should a child answer the telephone, or determine safe play ac­ tivities? And perhaps, most importantly, how can a child learn to deal with fears and uncertainity? “Child Alone” is a 24-page booklet available from the Safety Council for Southwest Michigan, it offers parents up-to-date tips on a wide variety of issues concerning “Latchkey Kids” (a term coined by a teacher who noticed several children wearing their houskeys on a chain around their neck). Copies of the booklet are available from the Safety Council for Southwest Michigan for $1. A business size, self-addressed, stamped enveloped should be included with each request. Bulk quantity discounts are available for groups or organizations that would like to distribute the booklet to its members. Child safety is everyone’s concern and this booklet addresses the sensitive situation of children left alone with a reassuring and responsible approach. ffliiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnimiiiiiiiinirinrnnir Eaton County Extension CALENDAR OF EVENTS I .........................................

As a State Legislator, one of my top priorities is the state of the Michigan farmer. During the difficult days ahead, Michigan farmers will need realistic farmland assessments and a healthy Cooperative Extension Service to help meet their needs. Times will be tough for Michigan farmers in 1986 but if we work diligently this year could also mark the start of a rebound. The headlines told the story in 1985 - farmers were facing hard times. House Republicans are deeply concerned about the future of Michigan agriculture. That concern led lawmakers to introduce House Resolution 308, which asked the State Tax Commission to study how agricultural land values are assessed in Michigan. The results of this study are scheduled to be released imminently. United States Department of Agriculture statistics show Michigan having. the third highest per acre agricultural property tax in the nation and the highest per acre tax in the 12-state Midwest region. The state needs to examine how farm land is assessed and to investigate alter­ native methods of deter­ mining the true cash value of agricultural land. Michigan’s total tax levied per acre of farmland is five times the national average and the amount levied per $100 market value is nearly four times the national average and we need to know why. Another important legislative priority is to make sure that the Cooperative Extension Service is adequately funded so money is available for the Emergency Management Assistance Teams that have been aiding farmers throughout the state. And 1986 promises to be a difficult time for many of Michigan’s farmers. Paul Kindinger, director of the state Agriculture Depart­ ment has predicted that this year will be the worst in history in regards to the number offarms going out of business. But things will also bottom out, ' according to the director. He foresees this year as a turning point, a year when the rebound may also begin. The Legislature must do everything it can to help farmers. We must deal with the farm land assessment problem and we must continue funding the Cooperative Extension Service. Agriculture is vital to our state’s economic future and we must cultivate this valuable industry. The State of Michigan’s Educational System is Looking Better The proposed increase for education in the 1987 budget is good news for Michigan schools and I’m glad to see our priorties are straight. The state of our educational system is looking better in 1986.

Under the budget proposal, $1.02 billion would be appropriated for higher education, an increase of $49.6 million. Community colleges would be allocated $185.2 million, a $9.7 million increase. This budget would include a 3.4 percent in­ crease in the Job Training and Retraining Investment Fund. The K-12 budget plan calls for $1.9 billion in spending, with $1.39 billion in the school aid budget and $516 million in general fund money. The announcement of the budget figures coincided with news reports of the Michigan Education Assessment Program (MEAP) test scores released by the state Department of Education. The figures gave us some good news and some bad. The percentage of Michigan public school students passing the stan­ dardized reading and math tests rose during 1985 but despite this gain, nearly onethird of all seventh- and tenth-graders did not pass the math portion, which test basic skills, such as metric measurements, fractions, geometry and equations. There’s much more work to be done. Adequately funding our schools is only part of the solution. I am confident we can make our schools even better and I will maintain my commitment to this goal.

(tfn) Crop production workshops part of ANR Week at MSU Crop producers will find many educational sessions, workshops and displays at Agricultural and Natural Resources Week, March 17­ 22 at Michigan State University, which will help them improve farm management and increase profits. A workshop on fertilizer use and recommendations, sponsored by the MSU Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, is designed for farmers, agri-business representatives and farm advisors who want to further their knowledge of fertilizer use. Participants will use samples of their soil for analysis and discussion. Other workshops will cover anhydrous ammonia use, farm safety, field crop scout training and pesticide applicator certification. Topics for educational sessions include what’s new in corn tillage systems, a farmer’s rights when in financial difficulty and crop marketing ideas. A farm marketing trade show and tours of the Agricultural Experiment Station will provide producers the chance to see Farm management sessions offered at MSU Low farm prices and high production costs have made it difficult for many farmers to stay financially solvent. Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) Week, March 17-22 at Michigan State University offers many educational sessions, workshops and exhibits to help producers squeeze out profits in today’s weak agricultural economy. An in-depth look at the farm marketing and management alternatives producers can expect in 1986 will be featured. Prospects for field crop and livetsock prices, the effects of the new farm bill and steps producers can take to im­ prove their financial stan­ ding will be reviewed to help farmers make their production decisions. The future of agriculture will be discussed in a session sponsored by the MSU Department of Agricultural Economics. This seminar will, focus on the issues most likely to affect farmers in the long run, such as changes in international markets and the finance and credit Cooperative Extension Service offices. recent advances in crop production research and technology. Hundreds of exhibits and displays will be on hand, including a demonstration of Telfarm, an easy-to-use, microcomputerized, on-farm record-keeping system. The Corn Growers Association and the Michigan Certified Farm Market and Farm Market Cooperative are among the many groups that will hold their annual meetings during ANR Week. All ANR Week programs, workshp costs and association meetings are detailed in a free guidebook available through the county MSU Cooperative Extension Service office Advert agricultural accidents by reducing worker fatigue Many costly accidents can be averted by keeping farm workers from getting fatigued. “Productivity and profits can be lost when employees are injured, but accidents can be reduced if workers are not fatigued,” says Howard Doss, Michigan State University Extension farm safety specialist. Fatigue can be brought on by discomfort, such as ex­ posure to loud machinery, annoying insects, hunger, or high or low temperature. Doss says providing oc­ casional breaks, water or food can help to relieve the discomfort and keep workers alert. Some farm jobs are un­ pleasant, exhausting or boring, and workers may be tempted to take shortcuts and become sloppy just to get the job done. This can be avoided by rotating jobs and giving workers something new to do when possible, Doss explains. Farm managers should be aware of worker frustration, conflicts or annoyances, because these can affect how well and how safely people work, Doss says. Help the employee resolve these problems before that per­ son’s distraction causes an accident or injury. outlook. Computers have become a major tool in farm financial planning. A demonstration of Telfarm, an on-farm ac­ counting and record-keeping microcomputer system, will be among the many exhibits, displays and workshps of­ fered at ANR Week. The Michigan Association of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers will host a banquet featuring Gordon E. Guyer, former director of the Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service and present director of the Kellogg Biological Station. Guyer will speak on regaining profitability for agriculture. ANR Week will also in­ clude activities related to home gardening, natural resources, health and specialized farm production.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 114 - No. 32 — Tuesday, February 18, 1986 Nashville Council approves Reed St. curve project by Shelly Sulser The Nashville Village Council has agreed to pay the Eaton County Road Commission $10,482.79 for half the cost of a proposed project to straighten and widen the Reed Street curve. The council Thursday voted to adopt a road im­ provement agreement with the Eaton County Road Commission for the curve relocation project, which states the village of Nash­ ville and the road com­ mission will each pay half the cost of the project, estimated at about $34,931. That price includes the purchase of a small amount of land adjacent to the existing road from the Penn Central Railroad. In the agreement, the road commission said it plans to make the lanes 22-feet wide with four-feet wide paved shoulders on each side of the road to Ionia Road, plus various other im­ provements. Work is ex­ pected to begin in late spring or early summer. In other business, the council agreed to accept with regrets the resignation of trustee Richard Furlong, who, in a letter to the council stated he felt it was not possible to work together with the council as a team. “I decided to serve a term on the village council so that I could work together with the other village trustees and the people of the village of Nashville as a team to make Nashville a better place to live,” the letter said. “After a year on the village council, I have found it impossible to work together as a team for the good of the community. After much thought and prayer, I have decided to resign my post on the Nash­ ville Village Council ef­ fective Feb. 14, 1986. It seems after this year, I have watched my joy diminish. I feel my time could be better spent being involved with my church and my ministry in life which is serving the Lord,” he stated in his letter, adding, “I would like to thank all of the people that voted for me and supported me during this year on the council.” In other council discussion, Furlong com­ plained that he did not receive advance written notification when the sidewalk was repaired in front of his home. Furlong noted that village ordinance number 29 says residents ofthe village are to receive a written notice when the village plans to repair or replace the sidewalks. He added the work is usually paid 50­ percent by the village and 50­ percent by the landowner. “When I get a bill for $176, I want to know what it’s for,” he said. Village President John Hughes stated that for the past 10 years, there has never been a letter sent to the landowner concerning the replacement of sidewalks. “The ordinance says notify them (residents), we’ll notify them,” (from now on), said Hughes. Furlong also suggested to the council that there be one person in charge of the water treatment plant and one person in charge of streets in the village, as two separate departments. “If a person spends all his time in the water and sewer plant, how is he going to know what is going on with the streets?,” Furlong asked the council. “That’s why the streets are getting neglected,” he said, adding, “I think the council ought to consider dividing the departments.” Trustee and DPW Com­ mittee Chairman Jerry Kent responded “I don’t feel the streets are being neglected...if we do what you’re proposing, we would have to add another $20,000 to that figure (of what is already being spent for village works). Once you un­ derstand why it’s structured that way, you’ll see the local streets are not being neglected.” Furlong claimed too much money is being spent in the water and sewage depart­ ment and cited an incident concerning the DPW workers, where he said “it took three employees to hook up water. That’s a waste of village money. I think the village is wasting a lot of the taxpayers’ money. That’s why if those duties were divided up, there might not be so many problems. That’s just my theory.” Although no action was taken concerning the request, President John Hughes told Furlong the village would “look into it.” One problem that has stemmed from the work shifts of village DPW workers was brought before the council by Vermontville Council Trustee Lana Oster who attended the Nashville meeting. Oster told the council she had parked her car in front of a store in Nashville last week and returned to find it missing. She said she ap­ proached a DPW worker moving snow nearby and asked him if he had seen her car. She said he told her they (the village DPW eraoyees) had moved her car so they could remove snow from the street. She said she later asked another DPW worker where her car was, and if he made it a point to drive away with other people’s cars. Oster said the man told her, ‘If you don’t like it, take it and go back to Vermontville where you belong.’ “Now, if I had parked it in a ‘No Parking’ zone, I'would expect this, or if they would have asked me if they could move my car, I would have said, ‘fine’. I just really don’t think it’s good policy,” she said. Furlong stated he thought the snow should be removed at night, but Kent responded by asking, “Do you want to pay them overtime?” Oster also noted that in recounting her story with other Vermontville residents, she was advised to take her business to Charlotte, rather than Nash­ ville. “But Nashville is too close, it’s too convenient,” she said. Hughes noted that it was something that should not have happened and “we will discuss this with the em­ ployees, these two factors: one, they moved your car, and two, they didn’t handle it as diplomatically as ex- Richard Furlong pected. I hope you’ll accept our apologies,” he said. Oster accepted, saying, “I realize they do have a job to do.” In other discussion, Hughes reported 20applications for the office manager position have been received by the village, and that by the next meeting, three applications will be brought to the council to discuss and interviews will be conducted with with those applicants. The council also discussed a possible new tree or­ dinance, that would allow the village to establish a village tree board consisting of two village citizens. “It might be beneficial if we had a board to control it (the trees),” Kent said. He noted the new ordinance would be an elaboration of the current ordinance. He said presently, $5,000 to $6,000 is spent annually on tree maintenance. “We’re accelerating that,” he said. The council agreed to put the matter on the agenda for the next council meeting. FFA Week celebrated at Maple Valley High School Future Farmers of America Week is being celebrated Feb. 15-22 and members of Maple Valley’s FFA chapter, led by Vo-Ag teacher Rona Szydzik, are participating. “We’ll have different activities,” she said, in­ cluding dressing up in the official FFA garb and filling a display case at school with FFA information, “to let people know this is FFA week,” she said.

We strive to develop leadership skills that the students don’t get in other classes,” Szydzik said. “Hopefully they’ll learn here what they will need to use in the real world. I use every day what I learned through FFA,” she said. Many of the things that can be learned through the National FFA Foundation, public speaking, tractor safety and general farm management. The National FFA Foundation was established in 1944 to provide a structure through which leaders in agricultural education, business, industry and organizations could work together in making available awards designed to en­ courage and motivate FFA members and chapters. Agriculture teachers throughout the nation are attempting to deliver a message to the American people: Agriculture is a lot more than you would imagine. And agriculture, America’s largest industry, beckons with more than 200 career opportunities for today’s young person.

Currently, 21 of Wright’s paintings are on display in a ‘one woman show’ at Greenville’s Community Center during the month of February. Different artists are invited to diplay their work each month at the Greenville center. Since taking painting lessons seven-years ago from Eunice Priddy of Nash­ ville, Wright has painted nearly 75 to 100 pictures, with subjects ranging from windmills silhouetted against a colorful sunset to horses sipping water from a river. “I get most of my ideas Marilyn Wright of near Vermontville has nearly 21 from old photographs,” said paintings on display at a "one woman show" in Green* Marilyn. “I like to show what the old farms looked like, to vide this month. try and portray a message about the family farm.” One farm portrait Wright painted for a gentleman had an instant reminiscent effect when he saw the finished • New spring McCall & J product. “He said it was like he Simplicity patterns stepped back into time,” < New || Spring Arrivals!!

It seems everyone’s interested in getting your Individual Retirement Account...with handsome offers from interest bonuses to free toasters. Auto-Owners has been planning retirement incomes long before there was an IRA. And they can also provide the accurate, timely records you’ll need for the Internal Revenue Service. Just ask your “nto problem” Auto-Owners agent how you can build your IRA on experience rather than gimmicks. said Wright, adding that it makes her feel good to know she was able to accomplish her goal. “It makes it all worth it.” Wright, a Nashville native, lives on an old farm she and her husband Eric are presently refurbishing. The pair farm the 100-acres they own “side by side,” said Marilyn. “I’m even out there at the plow.” The Wrights have two sons, Seth, 6 and Loren, 4. With horses and dogs visible on the farm, the couple also have an obvious love for animals. A fascination and appreciation for the farm life of yesteryear prompts Marilyn to collect historic photographs depicting old homesteads, rural life and horses. “It’s a way of life that’s being lost,” Marilyn feels. She added, “They’re not just portraits of people, but also of horses and buggies...” One painting she did was from a photograph of an old wagon “mired in the mud with a draft horse pulling it out.” Also, some barns of the area that no longer exist'are preserved forever on Wright’s canvases. “I like the way they used to take pictures with the people out in front of their house or farm,” she said. One painting portrays her brother as a small child out in the barnyard feeding the chickens as he used to do. Another shows her husband’s grandmother as a little girl riding in a buggy. Not only does Marilyn paint pictures of past scenes, but she also takes orders for portraits of houses, barns or farms, and does horse portraits as well. She noted one person has asked her to paint a dog portrait, but that one will be a first her. Also, whenever she sees an interesting site, she will photograph it and paint the scene. Wright’s husband Eric helps Marilyn with her art by framing them in a sort of unique way. Wood siding from his own old barn is turned into artistic, rustic frames for his wife’s pic­ tures. In addition to painting bn canvas, Marilyn also paints pictures on small wood ovals, wood toys and an­ tiques which she takes along to the art shows she attends.

TnTTTTTT nTTTnriinnnTnTnnnTnTTTTnnTTTTTTTnnTrnTTnnnTnTTT From our readers To The Editor: (More importantly to the people of Vermontville and surrounding communities) I think a prison in Vermontville is the most ridiculous idea I’ve ever heard! Having lived in and around Vermontville all my life (31 years), I’ve always been very proud of the fact that Vermontville is noted for the Maple Syrup Festival. There would be no pride for me, in “Vermontville, the prison town.” In the past few years, I’ve noticed that the number of houses for sale in Ver­ montville is increasing rapidly. With a prison here that number would more than likely increase twice as fast. And anyone, that we would be happy to have as a neighbor, interested in moving to a nice small community would not even consider one with a prison. I really wonder if this kind of a proposal is “in view of recent concern for Ver­ montville’s future finanical status.” With concern to the fact that there has only been one case in the entire penal history of Michigan where the prisoners have escaped and done any harm in the immediate area is a good record but I would certainly hate to be involved in that one case. I also think this kind of proposal not only effects the small community of Ver­ montville but all the communties around Vermontville as well! I am very sorry, that I do not have any good ideas to offer that would help Ver- monville’s future but, I’ve weighed the pros and cons in my own mind and there are too many cons already, why invite any more? A very concerned neighbor, Eric Wright Gresham Hwy Vermontville. To The Editor: In regard to hiring a village manager for Nash­ ville, have the mayor and council thought where that money is coming from? Do they plan to take it out of their wages? $30,000 to $40,000 is a lot of money. They cry all the time that there is no money to fix streets or do other repairs that need doing. Nashville is made up of a lot of low income people plus senior citizens. We have no industries here. None can afford to stay. So they get no revenue from them. Why don’t they, before they decide on such a drastic step, go down to Albion, Mich., and talk with the people down there? They have a considerable larger town plus several going industries. But in the Feb. 4, 1986 issue of the Battle Creek Enquirer News is an article that they want to get rid of their city manager as they can’t afford him and his extra office help. It is much too expensive. The trip might do them some good. If their jobs are too much forthem why did they accept them? I’m sure there are people in town who are as capable as they are.

An early jitney appears to be in the background of this group photo from the estate of Clara Hanneman of Nashville. Since she and her husband, Ed, came to the village from Grand Rapids there is a possibility that the photo is not local, but we thought it interesting enough to present here for reader appraisal. Identify subjects from left to right if you can, or o let us know if you believe the photo is not from the Nashville area. From time to time in this column we have published local photos of bygone days in hopes that our readers will recognize faces or scenes, and be able to supply us with names, dates, etc. Quite frequently we receive important data on heretofore unidentified pictures used to illustrate various Memories stories. A recent case in point was the pictures publishes in our February 4th column showing two operators seated at the central swit­ chboard of the Citizens Telephone Company in Nashville, circa-1910. Mrs. Von (Helen) Rasey of Thornapple Lake Road phoned to tell us that the operator seen at the left in that picture was her mother, Erma (Swift) Feighner, Dorothy (Hummel) Matrich, who is a collector of early Nashville photos, gave us this unidentified print of what is believed to be a local family, circa-1900. Can anyone tell us who these folks are? Perhaps they are your ancestors. Mrs. Martich, who lives in Battle Creek, is the daughter of the late Fay Hummel of Nashville and has been a very generous contributor of old photos used to illustrate the weekly Memories column. There was a welcome response to this photo of a houseboat called the "Jewel B.", which was published in a September 1985 Memories column recalling happy summertime activities of yesteryear, The diver still is unidentified, but thanks to Margaret (Furniss) Bateman we now know that the craft shown on Thornapple Lake in the early part of this century belonged to Julius Bement, local jeweleroptician at Furniss' drug store in Nashville. To him, the boat was home. while the woman on the right, Helen believes, is Greta Clifford. We appreciate the input, and such information is always then inscribed on the back of the photos, many of which are on display in the Local and Michigan History Room at Putnam Public Library. The “switchboard” picture was loaned to us by Dorothy (Hummel) Martich of Battle Creek, who has been a faithful contributor of photos to this column. Back in September of last year we ran a Memories piece recalling happy summertime activities of yesteryear. One of the photos used which came from the collection of the late Len W. Feighner, was of a raft-like houseboat called the “Jewel B.” After tht appeared we had a call from Margaret Bateman of Nashville, who told us that the craft belonged to jeweler-optician Julius Bement, who worked at the local drug store for Margaret’s father, Von W. Furniss, during the early part of this century. (The pharmacy employed a full­ time jeweler until the 1930s.) The houseboat was “home” to Bement, recalls Mrs. Bateman. “In the wintertime he lived in it on land,” she noted. We had correctly guessed the location of the photo as Thornapple Lake, a favorite haunt of the Feighners and many other Nashville families of that era. „ For today’s column we have selected a few other interesting but unidentified prints to pique our readers’ memories. Any input will be welcome. Ifyou can shed any light on these photos, your reporter would appreciate hearing from you by phone or letter mailed to Post Office Box C, Nashville, 49073. (In the case of group photos, the written identificiation from left to right is most helpful.) We believe this plan to enlist readers’ aid will serve a two-fold purpose: to bring back happy memories of the past for the, present-day senior citizens while preserving a bit of history for the younger generations. Responses will be reported in a follow-up account in this column. Please help.

I like to pray with a bunch of people. We are also taught to learn Bible verses. That is one of the things I would highly miss if I went to another school. Some times it is hard to memorize some of the Scripture, but if you spend a little time learning it, it gets pretty easy. I like this school because in other schools kids are always fighting and arguing with each other. Most of us get along okay! I like the way the teachers treat us. They treat us like we are somebody. Some of the teachers in other schools, don’t even care about the kids in their school. They just care about doing their job and getting their money. A lot of teachers, if they get mad at the students will call them bad names and misuse the name of God. Kids in our school care about each other. It does not matter if you are ugly or in a wheelchair or if you can’t talk right or if you’re slow. We try to include everybody. I don’t think I would be uncomfortable around kids because they were slow or retarted. Jesus loves everybody so we try to love everybody. I think N.C.A. is a good school for me because no matter what subject we have, it teaches us about God! A lot of other schools teach kids things against God or things that are not true. And I just think I have learned a lot more about God through my work and my teachers at this school.

I like the teachers in this school because of the way they act and the things they do, and the things they say teach us to be more like Jesus. I think this school is the best school for me. I am comfortable here and I learn something new about Jesus every day. I like having devotions in the morning. That is what starts the whole day off. A lot of schools just start right out with work. Why Nashville Christian " Academy is the Best School for Me. By: Aaron Tobias Age: 8 Winner 1-4 grades I think N.C.A. is a good school for me, because I think it teaches me more than public schools. It teaches me about Jesus. I get privileges such as field trips. One field trip I remember was a trip to the Detroit Zoo and the time we went roller skating. I have friends because we all love God. We are all sisters and brothers in God’s way. We don’t ride on buses and hear kids talk dirty. I like to ride with my Dad and get to talk with him. Teachers in public schools do not discipline but at N.C.A. they discipline when we do stuff we shouldn’t do. We go to N.C.A. to learn about God. Learn spelling, math, phonics, science, social studies, English, writing, and reading for the book club. My mom and dad have to pay extra money but it sure gives me a good education.

During this session some decisions were made in­ volving the annual meeting in the spring of 1986 that should be brought to the attention of all centennial farm owners. The annual meeting will be held at the Midway Motor Lodge, Hoffman House, 7711 West Saginaw Highway, Lansing on Tuesday, April 22, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., rather than at Kellogg Center, Michigan State University, East Lansing, during Farmer’s Week. Since the inception of the organization the meetings have been held'at Kellogg Center, but due to the numerous meetings scheduled at M.S.U. during that period, there were limiations for an available meeting room and con­ venient parking for mem­ bers of the Centennial Farm Association. This change of location and date hopefully will give the annual meeting a ‘new look’ and create additional interest and at­ tendance. There will be a dinner served at noon rather than the buffet luncheon as in PTO Sponsors storyteller The fifth and sixth grade students at Kellogg School listened intently as storyteller, Mary Hamilton, related folk tales to the students. The Nashville P.T.O. sponsored the storyteller from Grand Rapids. After speaking to all the students, Hamilton spoke to smaller groups, going into detail about such topics as elements of a good story and parts of a story. The Nashville P.T.O. would like to express a special thanks to Jack DeGroot, owner of Good Time Pizza. DeGroot gave the P.T.O. a special price on the pizzas served the first and third grade classes when they reached their soup label goal. Today, National School Studios will be at Fuller and Kellogg schools taking duo­ portraits. Coming, March 7 is the school carnival. Several people are hard at work in preparation for this fun event. previous years. A newsletter to be published within the next few weeks, and mailed to all centennial farm owners, will include more details, reservation form for the dinner, and other in­ formation pertinent to the Association. Mrs. Marjorie Southworth of Mulliken (Eaton Co.) will be the chairperson for the day ; Mrs. Rubie Gillion of St. Charles (Saginaw Co.) and Miss Mabie Honeywell, Bronson (Branch Co.) are planning the social hour in the forenoon and the program in the afternoon. Anyone having any questions or suggestions may contact any of the above mentioned board members or the president of the association, Carl Cousino, Monroe County Register of Deeds, Court House, Monroe, Michigan. The entire Centennial Farm program is sponsored by the Michigan Department of State, Michigan History Division, Lansing under the direction of Martha Bigelow, with co-operation from Consumers Power Company and Detroit Edison Com­ pany. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniTrnTnii Obituaries iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiimiiitiiiHii Mina A.

As a youngster, she paraded as a pancake in the kiddie parade and this year she’ll be riding as the queen. Deana, daughter of Russ and Marjorie Bennett, was selected to reign as queen over Vermontville’s syrup festival during judging held February 10 after a dinner sponsored by the local Lions at the Congregational Church. She will be crowned at the syrup festival which will be held on the last weekend of April. Members of the queen’s court are: runner-up Katrina Schriver, daughter of Rayrqond and Mary Schriver of 878 Ionia Rd, who serves as alternate queen; Michelle Lee Dickinson, daughter of Robert and Barb Dickinson of 7378 Gresham Hwy; Elizabeth Ryan, daughter of Earl and Virginia Ryan of 10320 Carlisle Hwy; and Kendra Packer, daughter of Richard Packer of 9465 Kelly Hwy. Queen Deana along with her parents and a cat named ‘Dog’ live right in the village of Vermontville, at 138 W. Third St. They moved there last July. Previously, Deana says she had spent her entire life living four miles north of the village. She has a sister Dawn, 19, of Nashville who was a member of the syrup queen’s court two years ago. A brother, Donald, 22, also lives in Nashville. Other members of the family in­ clude two step-sisters and two step-brother who reside in Lansing. Deana’s two cousins, Kandy Kane and Connie Kane, were members of previous syrup festival courts.

After graduation, she plans to pursue college studies, possibly starting at Lansing Community College, in communications. “I like to work with new people and vis it new places,” she says of her interest in a career in the communications field. Her current goal is to graduate with honors in 1987. For five-years, Deana has served on the student council, including holding the office of treasurer during eighth and ninth grades. She has participated in volleyball, playing in the back row, for three-years and is proud to have been a part of the varsity’s recent first victory in five years. A second year Spanish student and member of the school’s Spanish Club, Deana said, “I hope to go to Mexico sometime so I can try it (the language) out.” Softball is another activity she enjoys. Last summer, she played third base on a team sponsored by Johnny’s Market and she’s hoping she’ll make the school’s varsity team this spring. Besides playing third, Deana has been a catcher in Little League. She serves on the school’s prom committee which decides a theme and location for the event. Selecting in­ vitations and a meal for prom night are other duties of that group. Deana was also a member of the ring staff committee which won national cham­ pionship honors in 1984 for its promotion of class rings within the school. The honors were given to the group for creativity and display. A Garfield display and a creative cross-word puzzle promotion brought the honors to the group. The girls on the committee received rings as prizes and the guys were given wat­ ches. “The whole class got to got to Grand Rapids to hear a comedian and go to the SvedenHousefor dinner,” as a result of the national award, she said. Deana and her good friend Michelle, who is on the syrup queen’s court, are believed to be the only girls in Ver­ montville who have stayed in Girl Scouting from beginning Brownies to Senior Scouts. Deana’s been in scouting for 11-years and says “I enjoy the camping. I love the outdoors and I like going to the medical facility (in Charlotte) to help older people...I like meeting other girls (in other communities) and finding out what they do.” She also has served as an aide at Girl Scout day camp in Charlotte. Participating in community service is an aspect Deana likes about scouting. With the Scouts, she’s helped paint the playground equipment at the park, raked leaves, and shoveled snow for others. A member of Troop 205, Deana says, because of a conflict with volleyball, she hasn’t been able to attend recent scout meetings. Some ofher favorite activities with the troop have been a trip to Continued on page 8— Seventeen-year-old Deana Hampton, a 5’1" blonde with blue eyes, has been chosen to reign as the 1986 Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Queen. Maple Valley News photos b by Elaine Gilbert By Elaine Gilbert The new Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen has been attending the annual syrup festival ever since she was a babe in arms. In fact, Deana Hampton, a blonde with sparkling blue eyes, doesn’t think she has ever missed a festival in her 17-year-old life. Her participation has been varied and unique. One of her favorite festival ac­ tivities is being a contestant in the cross-cut saw com­ When this photo was taken in May of 1979 at Girl Scout Camp, Deana Hampton (left) and Katrina Schriver never dreamed they’d be on the Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen's court.

She also has monkey socks, a monkey carved from a coconut and some monkey figurines. Niagra Falls and a canoe trip. When it comes to personal interests, there’s a lot of monkeying around in Deana’s life. That’s because she has amassed a collection of 90-stuffed monkeys in assorted shapes and sizes. As long as she can remember and even before, there’s been a stuffed monkey to play with and that’s how Deana developed a craving to collect them. Consequently, she gets monkeys for birthday and Christmas presents and for other special occasions like Valentine’s Day. Now it’s hard for friends and relatives to find a monkey that she doesn’t already have. A well-worn and favorite in her collection is Pinky. Besides the stuffed-variety, Deana has a monkey carved from a coconut shell. There are tiny monkeys, monkeys that squeek and even large puppet monkeys on display in her pink bedroom. One is an antique monkey that was once given as a carnival prize to a child who is now a senior citizen in the area. Sewing is a hobby Deana dabbles in at home. She has made pillow cases and a pair of slacks and is working on a quilt. Favorite winter activities include ice skating, snowball fights, working puzzles and curling up with a good bode. “I like to spend time with my family too,” she stresses. As Vermontville’s syrup queen Deana will be representing the local syrup association and its products in parades in other com­ munities (such as Charlotte, Rogers City, Harrison) besides the village. Although she has grown-up in the area, Deana says “I never really thought about it (the possibility of being queen) until the last five years. Then I really started thinking about it...I saw how much fun my sister had on the'court and I wanted to be on it too. Deana says she is looking forward to “being crowned and being on stage with all my friends (on the court) and in the parade,” although she admits to being a little Deana displays some of the awards she has won, in­ cluding a pin for perfect school attendance last year; medallions for national awards on the school ring committee; a first place trophy for winning a frisbee contest sponsored by the National Camping and Hik­ ing Association; and a can of famous Vermontville syrup for taking second place in cross-cut saw competition. nervous at the thought of “being up in front of people.” If possible, she plans to visit all of the area syrup producers as soon as the syrup-making season gets into full spring. As a youngster, she’s helped wash sap buckets and put lids on them at an area sugar bush. In recent years, she has boned up on her knowledge of syrup-making techniques by visiting area producers with previous syrup festival courts. When it comes to using maple syrup herself, Deana says her favorite way is to warm the syrup and pour it over waffles. During previous syrup festivals, Deana has given a helping hand cutting pies and serving meals at the local churches; worked at the fire barn where pancake meals are served annually; helped with the Lions chicken dinners; and, of course, marched in the children’s parade until she joined Girl Scouts.and then she rode on the scouts’ floats. Deana laughs as she describes her costume in one of the kiddie parades. “My sister and I were pancakes. The pancakes were paper bags with butter pats on them. The butter pats were material wrapped around a cereal box...I think the theme was ‘Maple Syrup is Yummy.’” “I was an old lady once (in the kiddie parade). I wore a shawl and glasses,” she reminisces. A festival highlight for Deana is participating in some family rivalry during the annual cross-cutting saw contest. For the past four years, Deana and cousin Connie Kane have tried to cut faster than a team comprised of Deana’s mother, Marjorie, and aunt, Shirley Kane. But, Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Kane have won everytime. “Last year, they only beat us by three-tenths of a second,” said Deana. “We’re going to beat' them this year!” Volleyball is a sport the new syrup queen enjoys. She's been a member of the school team for threeyea rs. Engagements- want results... . . . give our classified department a call!

February 18. 1986 — Page 9 New school post conflicts with current contract, Union Rep. says by Shelly Salser The Maple Valley Board of Education voted last Mon­ day to deny a portions of a grievance filed by the Maple Valley Educational Support Personnel Association regarding the posting by the board of a new postion for supervisor of transportation, facilities and equipment. The board had voted to post the job at its January meeting, in order to hopefully alleviate problems between the district custodians concerning their job responsibilities. Association representative Sue Schwab claimed the proposed job description does not agree with the custodial employee con­ tracts. Article two of the proposed job description states that the supervisor is responsible for employee evaluations in accordance facilities and equipment. But the building administrator who meets with us, discusses the criteria, and then does our evaluation." She also claimed another aspect of the proposed job description that conflicts with the current contract is an annual reporting done to the school board at its regular April meeting ‘‘On page 32 of our con­ tract, that issue is addressed for us and it says the day custodian of the building provides the superintendent a typed report on the building needs, repairs, and equipment for the following summer and school year by April 15,” Schwab said. “So you can see right now it says the day custodian does that to the superintendent." Board President Dave Hawkins responded that there is no basis for a grievence at this time because the job had not yet been filled. Schwab argued that the posting of the job alone “does grieve us because it changes the contract and it also changes it in the aspect of the work and how it is with M.V.E.S.P.A. contract “In our contract though on page nine, article five (numbers) one and two, it says the builidng ad­ ministrator is responsible for our evaluation — not a director of transportation Phone... 726-0330 / tancu A .

Schwab noted that custodian Kim Hansen presently earns extra money to order and maintain necessary supplies, but the duties have been included in thejob description of the new supervisor “So the minute this was posted, it created a grievance,” Schwab said. Another contested aspect of the job description, she said, involves article four that states the new director will determine work schedules, position cannot be tran­ sferred to persons not covered by this agreement. “You can’t transfer these four things to another position, particularly one that is outside the bargaining unit," she told the board. “That is called subcontracting.” After some discusstion between the members of the association and the board, Schwab questioned why there was such an urgency to create the position for the present director of tran­ sportation Gerald Aldrich. Hawkins responded, “...if vacation schedules and any necessary overtime. “If you look on page 11 of the contract, it gives the work schedule in the con­ tract We’ve negotiated what the work schedule is," she said. “If you look on page 16, you will see the superin­ tendent determines and approves the vacation schedule, not a director, the superintendent according to our contract” She also noted the superintendent also deter­ mines the necessary over­ time and authorizes it. “Those are things that both sides have agreed to in writing, signed offon and are not subject to change unless we do that in the upcoming bargaining," she said. Schwab added that a clause in the contract says the duties of any bargaining unit member or the responsibilities of any that we certainly couldn’t hire someone else. With just this then you would know the managing of the there isn’t anyone that’s custodians, there wasn’t trying to create a position for enough work there to even Gerald,” he said. say that there was a full time “The reason the position job there.

Grace Dss Launches Statewide "How to Say No” Initiative Young teens throughout the state will soon benefit from a statewide effort announced recently by the Michigan Department of Social Services (DSS). The message is that it’s OK to say ‘no’ to sexual activity, despite pressure from media, friends and adults. The Department has awarded contracts to 23 local agencies across the state to help them implement an innovative educational series designed to help teach teenagers “how to say no.” DSS launches the statewide project as part of its ex­ tensive initiative to confront the alarming teenage pregnancy rate. In 1983, there were ap­ proximately 34,000 pregnancies among girls 19 and under in Michigan. That translates to one out of every 10 teenage girls in the state. The consequences are many and those involved often lead lives of struggle and dependency. Teenage mothers are often unable to complete their education or find meaningful employment. Statistics also show that babies born to teen mothers are far more likely to suffer from birth defects 4-H Dairy Bowl session planned A meeting of Eaton County 4-H members participating in the Dairy Quiz Bowl program is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 23 at 1 p.m. The session will be held at Doug and Pam Lilly’s 8501 N.

Resolution Urges That President Be Given LineItem Veto Power Believing President Reagan should have ad­ ditional power to trim federal government spen­ ding, I have co-sponsored a resolution (HCR 467) in the Michigan House urging the U.S. Congress to support a constitutionall amendment granting the chief executive line-item veto authority. The line-item veto power would allow the president to veto selected congressional projects without killing entire money bills. If 43 governors, including rp-HW Xk -MM MW Commission recommendations. The commission discovered that more than $424 billion could be cut out of the federal deficit simply by eliminating waste and inefficiency from the national bureaucracy. If waste is not cut and government spending continues to grow at its current rate, experts have predicted that the national debt will be at $13.2 trillion by the end of this century. With the same line-item veto power that our governor has, President Reagan could do even more to cut down unnecessary government spending and further im­ prove our economy. With the Grace Commission recommendations and the line-item veto the president could bring about long- lasting fiscal reform.

The win for Villanueva assures her a spot on the March 10 general election ballot. Lewis, who risked his current trustee seat on the council to battle for the top village post will see his tenyear council career end in April. In the race for clerk, in­ cumbent Democrat Sharon Stewart captured 49 votes, and Republican challenger Ricki Hill took in 13. For three seats open with four-year terms, Democratic incumbent Bill Bailey garnered 32 votes, Democrat Joe Ann Nehmer 38 votes, Republican Rod Harmon 14 votes, Republican Doug Durkee 12 votes and Republican Roger Two Vermontville Democrats faced off in a battle where only one could be named the winner. When the dust was cleared and the votes were tallied, Democratic .incumbent candidate for mayor Beverly Kathleen Marsh saw 13 votes as the unopposed candidate. For two seats open for twoyear trustee terms, Linda Ramey had 35 votes and Russ Bennett earned 16 votes. Trowbridge, 11. All will advance to the general election to be held in the village March 10, with the exception of Lewis, and Douglas Durkee who has decided to withdraw from the race due to a new business opportunity. Nashville’s primary saw unopposed candidate for treasurer Lois Elliston getting the most votes, with a total of 110, from 116 voters. All candidates on the ballot are Republicans and all terms are for two-years. Incumbent candidate for mayor John Hughes took in a Richard Dunhamf Vermontville resident who opposes the possible building of of a state prison in Ver Ver-montville, has launched a petition drive against the project. Dunham, who says building a prison in Vermontville would decrease property value in the village and pose a safety hazard to has nearby residents, collected about 50 signatures of other local residents who agree with him. Although Dunham said he has not yet .pushed the issue, he said he is ready to counteract any decision by the council to proceed with plans to build the proposed medium security prison. The idea for the prison was proposed by Vermontville council trustee Russ Bennett at the council’s February meeting, in order to help generate revenue for the village in the future. Bennett said the prison could provide the village with $3 million dollars in annual revenue. Bennett had also noted the prison would be safe, and stated that there has “only been one case in the entire penal history of Michigan where the prisoners escaped and caused harm to anyone in the immediate area.” “I’m not really pushing the issue yet,” said Dunham, “I just tyung one (a petition) at Johnny’s and took one around to a few homes.” Dunham said of the first 30 people he talked to, 25 op­ posed the proposal, four were undecided and one supported it. Incumbent treasurer 89 votes, while there were two write in votes: one for Gene Koetje and one for Mike Ainslie. In the clerk race, Pam Godbey captured 71 votes to opponent Cynthia Doolittle’s 20. In the race for three council trustee seats, in­ cumbent Marsha Ainslie collected 89 votes to win her spot on the general election ballot, as did Carl Tobias with 69 votes and newcomer Larry Filter with 57. Challengers Suzanne Kienutske got 31 votes, Don Williams, 19, and Frank A. Purchis, 32. Incumbent village assessor candidate Justin W. Cooley clinched the spot with 91 votes. Alleged cigarette thief is arrested by Nashville Police FoHowing an ivestigation by the Nashville police department, Gary J. Castrodale, 33, of Redford was arrested Friday for allegedly attempting to steal 47 cartons of cigarettes from Carl’s Supermarket in Nash­ ville. A man fitting the description of Castrodale was seen early in January Petitions oppose proposed Vermontville prison He added one reason he is strongly opposed to the idea is because one proposed builidng site, the Ponderosa Campground, is next to his home. “We really don’t want a prison,” Dunham said. “If we did get one, then we would have to make up bumper stickers that said, ‘Vermontville, the Sweetest Little Prison in Michigan’...if it becomes a sure thing, then we will push harder.” leaving Carl’s Supermarket with a shopping cart that contained a cardboard box filled cigarette cartons. Dairy Manager Dale Jones noticed the suspicious man and followed him into the parking lot “I had my hand on his shoulder and I said, ‘Hey, where are you going?’,” said Jones. “Then he took a swing at me,” and ran to his car, leaving the cart. Jones followed the man to his brown 1983 Renault Fuego and took note of the license number. Jones suspects the same man of taking 50 cartons of cigarettes that were discovered missing just two to three weeks prior. Jones said he reported the incident, and notified Johnny’s Food Mart in Vermontville to beware of the suspected theif. But it was too late. “It was the very same night,” said Johnny’s owner and manager John Rodriquez. “He came into the store during the night shift and just kind of looked the place over to see what the situation was.” Rodriguez added two small boxes were sitting in the isle that the man used to fill with 30 cigarette cartons. “He just walked right out the door with them.” The description the checkout girl gave of the man, said Jones, matched the description Jones gave of the suspect. According to acting Nash­ ville Police Chief Gene Koetje, Castrodale was arrested while being held in the Livingston County Jail on unrelated charges, under $10,000 bond. Castrodale, of 9644 Hemingway in Redford was on parole, and has had four prior felony convictions that occured between 1971 and 1985. He is also suspected of committing other larcenies in the area.

Although Troop leader Ed Boldrey was unavailable for comment, his wife Linda noted this is the first year the troop has tapped the trees. In the past, troop 177 has used the tapping process to earn money for special projects. The scouts, who worked eight hours Saturday to drill the holes, hammer the spiles in them and hang the buckets, will earn a per­ centage from the sale of syrup made from the famous maple sap for summer camp. Boldrey noted the sap in some trees began to run immediately after the holes were drilled. “They’ll probably gather the sap at least one time this week,” she predicted. She also noted that 14 adult volunteers have been assigned to help the boys gather the sap. “One adult drives the truck pulling the tank and another coordinates the gathering each night,” she said. “It’s a big effort” 'Tapping' Continued Page 2 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, February 25, 1986 — Page 2 Signs of Spring Continued from Page 1 This was the scene in Nashville as scout troop 176 works to tap the local trees.

The late Leo Herrick of­ fered some insight into the subject in a series of reminiscing articles he wrote for The Nashville News back in the 1960s. Published under the heading of “The Great Balloon Ascension,” Herrick’s work gives us a view of living in the early 20th century and the vast differences between life- in the village and the surrounding countryside. Following are exerpts of some of Herrick’s recollections and ob­ servations of that era when he was a young lad growing up in the rural community. Herrick was born in 1896, and returned to this area after retirement as a U.S. Customs Service officer. He died in 1974. “The country roads had two narrow paths through the snow where the runners of the sleighs and cutters passed over. These paths became hard packed because the horses also walked in the same paths. If there were two horses on a vehicle each horse walked in front of the sleigh runners and the tongue in the middle. “Most cutters, however, were drawn by one horse and In Herrick's youth, there were two spots where a Nashville lad might rent a rig for a spin with his best girl: Taylor's Livery on the south side and Freeman's Livery on the north end. This turn-of-the-century photo shows a group of rigs and people in front of O.D. Freeman's "Livery, Feed and Ten Cent Bam." The brick building was located on the approximate site of the present-day fire station on North Main Street. the horse walked in the left hand path, and not in the middle as it would naturally do in the summertime pulling a buggy. Con­ sequently* the fills of the cutter had to be off-set on the leftside. However the driver still sat on the right side and when meeting another rig the horse was pulled over into the right lane, or path, and there was plenty of clearance. “There was usually good sleighing all winter and oftentimes too much snow. The deep snow drifts had to be shoveled out by hand. “As the sleighs and cutters passed over the snow ab­ solute quietness would prevail unless sleighbells were employed. The sleigh­ bells were used in several different' ways; the most widely used was a wide leather strap covered with small bronze bells that was fastened around the horse just back of the shoulders. It would give out a very pleasing and lively rhythm, especially when the horse was trotting. “Teams usually had one large silver bell suspended between the necks of the horses that could be heard for a half mile away, when there was no wind to in­ terfere. Hardly any two had the same tone quality and the faiyners could tell whose team was approaching even before they hove into sight over the crest of the hill. “On cutters it was quite Country boys knew the difference between breastplate and neckyoke, how checkreins were fastened, all about the breeching and cupper, the homes and whiffletrees, and much more. He may not have understood his girl friend too well, noted Herrick, but the farmer boy certainly understood his horse, his buggy, his harness and the road, and was a "contented soul" when out for a ride with his best girl. This harness shop, circa 1910, is unidentified. customary to have small plated chimes fastened to the underside of the fills. These sounded especially beautiful when the horse was on a trot. “In the spring, when the snow began to disappear, the farmers would get out their wagons, buggies, and twowheeled carts. These wheeled carts. vehicles, being all standard gauge, created wider ruts in the soft highways. Even in the middle of the summer when the roads were dry there would still be plenty of ruts, especially deep sand ruts at the foot ofmost hills... ...“Life in town and life in the country was vastly different (back then) and a good-natured good-natured rivalry developed between the two. Still in all, though, it was a part of Nashville rural life. All of these events that I am narrating happened within a few miles of Nashville. Not over five miles away at the most. Nashville was their address and that is where they spent their money... ...“In those days of slow transportation and bad roads, when a farmer passed the last light post on his way home he was entering a different world indeed. There were no good roads, no automobiles, no radios, no TV, no tractors, no electricity, and many of them Whenever a town lad wanted to take his best girl out for a ride, he generally was compelled to rent a rig from the local livery and, according to the late Leo Herrick,, "knew little about horses and practically nothing at all about harnesses" and was therefore "usually quite nervous when driving a strange steed." The dignified looking gentleman in this buggy is un­ identified but one may imagine he is on a Sunday outing, about to pick up his best girl. didn’t even have telephones. When night came and there was no comforting moon or sparkling stars to look up to anywhere in the firmament, enternal darkness took possession of the land and loneliness took possession of the soul. Especially if one of the kids happened to find ourselves all alone on a lonely road or ‘cutting crosslots’ through the woods a mile away. “On such nights it was darker than the inside of a wolf’s mouth. In fancy we could make out the outline of a mortal enemy coming toward qs or hiding behind a stump or tree and just about the time we could get up enough courage to make ourselves believe it wasn’t there, an invisible screech owl would swoop low over our heads and let out a weird, penetrating screech that would practically freeze us into immobility. “When morning came and old Sol started peeking up over the eastern horizon and chasing the spooks away we greeted him like a long-lost friend returning to the fold... “As we mentioned before, there was a vast difference between life in the country and life in town in those days. The kids in town seldom went out in the country because they had no automobiles. Nor horses and buggies either. Whenever a town lad decided to take his best girl out for a ride he would go to a livery stable, either Taylor’s Livery on the south side or Freeman’s Livery on the north side. “Of course (the town lads) knew very little about horses and practically nothing at all about harnesses. In fact they didn’t need to; the liveryman hitched up the horses and handed them the lines. Then explained to them to pull on the right line if they wanted the horse to turn right and to pull on the left line if they wanted the horse to turn left; what to say to make him go; what to say to make him stop, etc. “However, the kids out on the farms already knew all about that stuff and a lot SL more besides when it came to horses and vehicles. If he wanted to take his girl out for a ride (a country lad) would hitch up his own horse. He knew the difference, for instance the breeching and the cupper and where they belonged on a horse and also whether it was part of a single or double harness. He knew that one end of the traces was fastened to the hames and the other end to the whiffletrees. He knew the difference between breastplate and neckyoke. He knew how the checkreins were fastened, and what a terret is; that is a single harness, the overcheck is used with one end fastened to the bridle and the other end to the checkhook. This keeps the horse’s head and neck high in the air. This way he looks more graceful and can be kept under control better. Although if the check is too high it is brutal and a lover of horses would never stand for it. “So when a farmer lad takes his girl out for a ride he is a contented soul. He may not understand his girl friend too well but he certainly understand his horse, his buggy,, his harness and the roads. “He would never think of trotting his horse up a hill or down a hill. When meeting another carrige he never yanks his horse off to one side, instead he pulls just enough on the right rein to clear the wheels of the passing carriage - probablly calling his horse a few pet names as he does so. Finally they come to a watering trough and the horse pulls in for a drink. The farmer lad gets out of the buggy and unhooks the overcheck rein from the checkhook. Now the horse can get his head down as far as he wants to and drink his fill of cool spring water. The driver is in no hurry at all so he urges his horse to take his time and in the meantime he is giving him a few love pats and inspecting the harness to make sure everything is in order. After the horse gets Continued on next pag Personal Touch Beauty Salon 6901 Thornapple Lake Rd., Nashville, Ml Owned & Operated by DIANE McGHAN • HOT WAX • COLORING • BRAIDS • SHAMPOOS and SETS • PERMS CUTS • NAILS tellfllstrix * HA,R COLORING ... so gentle you can color and perm wove the some day.

Vermontville Brownie Girl Scouts have become world travelers in recent months as they discuss and read about Brownies in other countries and how they help their communities. Brownies: Troop 153 has completed requirements on their World Association pin which they received on February 18 at a troop awards ceremony. The girls also received Brownie Bee patches “Bee a Friend­ maker - Home” and “Bee a Friendmaker - World.” The troop will donate to the Juliette Low World Friend­ ship Fund at one cent per inch for each girl’s height. March 4 is Friend Day to give the young scouts a chance to share the Brownie experience with their friends. Troop 244 has recently toured McDonald’s in Charlotte, where they en­ joyed hamburgers, cokes and ice cream. The troop took a trip through the kit­ chen and cook area and saw how the takeout window was operated. A good time was had by all the scouts. Memories of the Past continued through drinking he again checks him up and starts down the road. Not at a trot but a slow walk instead. A farm lad would never think of trotting his horse right after drinking water. However, the kid from town doesn’t know these things and is usually quite nervous when driving a strange steed. “So, as the story goes, on his particular day a kid in town decided to take his best girl out for a ride so he goes to the livery stable and hires a horse and buggy. The liveryman hitches up the rig, hands him the reins and explains the fundamentals of driving, etc. However, there was one important thing he forgot to show him, as we shall soon see. So, highly elated (the lad) goes and picks up his girl friend and they are soon in the open country. Slumming, you might say, by observing how their country cousins live and work. “Finally, after a couple of hours of this sentimental journey the horse spots a water trough and he is thirsty. In he trough is cool, sparkling spring water... The horse pulls up and stops but he can’t get his head down to drink. The liveryman had forgotten to tell the driver about the overcheck rein. The horse kept trying to get his head down to reach the water but it was all in vain. He finally makes a remark that the horse must have a stiff neck. ‘How come he can’t get his head down, I wonder?’ So in desperation he finally goes around and lifts the hind end of the buggy. “We kids used to practice telling this story with a straight face to be a matter of fact whenver we got around any of the town kids. Unless, of course, they were bigger than we were.” a;?sAltagkiiia. ^iliittn fees ratal sk j i Mad naad iiSTit iaHS NHL. ritfn "res tMty ■ tat I Ml "So ria i in ‘itetofilKia SloMitil militate kgMIHka utaikki ligj.ldkBii rtd ItlldiK3 Come in and See Dorothy or Irene for a New Spring Look.

In addition, a record of delivery is kept at the recipient’s post office. Return Receipt - This is the sender’s proof of delivery. It is available on mail insured for more than $25 and on certified, registered, Collect-onDelivery (COD) and Express Mail articles. For a 70-cent fee, the return receipt identifies who signed for the item and the date it was delivered. For an additional 20 cents, the sender can get a receipt showing the exact address of delivery. Except for Express Mail service, the sender can also request restricted delivery (1.25 per piece additional), which means delivery is made only to the addressee or to someone who is authorized in writing to receive mail for the addressee. Additional knowledge can help you get better service and more for yotr money when choosing services at the post office. That’s the word from Vermontville and Nashville Postmasters Vic Haas and Sharon Bishop, who say “many people are unsure of what postal option will best suit their needs. They may not make the best buy and, in addition, if they know more, it can shorten time spent waiting.” The solution, the post­ say, is for masters customers to be aware of what delivery services their postal dollar can buy and the different between them. All fees listed are in addition to postage: Certified Mail - Available only for First-Class Mail, it provides the sender with a receipt showing when and where the item was mailed. NASHVILLE^ PTO Carnival — THEME — Bears Are Everywhere FRIDAY, MARCH 7 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Registered Mail - The most secure option offered by the Postal Service, it is designed to provide added protection for valuable and important mail. Postal insurance may be purchased at the option of the mailer to cover articles valued up to $25,000 at the time of mailing. As an example, an item valued up to $100 would cost $3.60 to go registered mail if it is covered by insurance and $3.55 if it is not. Through a system of receipts, registered articles are monitored from the point of mailing to delivery. Prepaid First-Class postage is required to send anything registered mail. Certificate of Mailing - This is the answer if the sender needs only a receipt to prove something was mailed. A certificate of mailing does not provide insurance coverage, and no records is maintained at the post office. However, the post office will endorse a certificate of mailing for 45 cents for individually listed pieces of all classes of or­ dinary mail.

The talented young Lion squad outscored opponents by an amazing 485 to 238 points. Teamwork was a key to the undefeated season, yet there was an impressive set of individual statistics as well. Leading the way was hard driving left handed guard Jason Hoefler who led the team with 103 points. Hoefler was also the team leader in free throw per­ centage with 45 percent. Jason showed outstanding defense and added 25 rebounds and 14 assist. Scott Casteele, the Lion’s rugged power forward totalled 94 points on the year and was the squad’s leading rebounder with 73. Dan Franks was the team’s floor leader contributing 20 assists, 27 points and 14 rebounds. Pivot man Jeff Moore controlled the jump in each of the Lion’s nine contests and finished the year as the team’s third leading scorer with 53 points and second leading rebounder with 44. Moore also blocked numerous shots and played a vital role as the final line of defense in Maple Valley’s awesome full court press. Rounding out the team’s starting lineup for most of the season was Travis Hokanson who added seven points, 18 rebounds and eight assists. Hokanson’s season was cut short by an auto accident which sidelined him in the final two games. John Shank, a Lion center, showed good statistics with 35 points and 29 rebounds. Ron Merrill earned a star­ ting spot for the final two games and he concluded the season with 22 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assits. Other Lion point totals included: Bill Reynolds with 15, Ryan Rosin-13, Kevin Cheeseman8 and Marc Nehmer-7. Derek Brown, Josh Clifford and Brent Haag added 3 points each. Adding a pair of points each were Jeff “Duff” Laverty and Gary Gillean. Also seeing action for the talented Lion seventh grade squad during the undefeated season were: Mike Martin, Gary Smith, Andy Robotham, Andy True and David “D.J.” Lamance. Each Lion player got a substantial number of playing minutes and each of the Lion victory margins was comfortable except for a two-point victory at Por­ tland. The trademark of this year’s seventh grade squad was a fastbreak offensive style coupled with the team’s relentless full court press defense. Part of the un­ defeated season was a pair of wins enroute to the Olivet Invitational Tournament title. Coaching the Lion squad this season were Jim Ferrier of Nashville and Dennis Casteele of Vermontville.

The only factors that weren’t equal were the numbers from the free throw line, which more than reflected the final 68-56 Tiger win. St. Philip, for instance, hit 28-of-57 (49 percent) field goals to 26-of-57 (46 percent) for the Lions. Turnovers, with Maple Valley committing 15 to St. Philip’s 12, and rebounding, with the Lions holding a 30-29 advantage, were also practically equal. The difference in the game came at the free throw line Seventh Grade continued several practices and games and kept statistics at a number of the games. The coaching staff would like to thank the loyal group of parents and fans who sup­ where the Lions were only 4of-12 whereas the Tigers downed 12-of-18 including 9of-10 in the final 8 minutes. “Everything was even except for the free throws,” lamented Lion coach Jerry Reese. “They made our free throws and we didn’t, which hurt us.” The Tigers actually trailed 15-12 after one quarter and 27-25 at the half. But St. Philip outscored the Lions 20-14 in the third period to grab a 45-41 lead. The clutch free throw shooting helped St. Philip outscore the Lions 23-15 over the final 8 minutes. Because of the closeness of the game, Reese couldn’t bemoan his team’s effort. “No, we played hard and 6. Maple Valley hosts Pot­ terville tonight and travels to Galesburg-Augusta on Saturday.

The Vermontville Township Board voted 5-0 Thursday in favor of a proposal by Opera House Restoration Committee Chairperson Pat O’Dell to place the millage request on the November ballot O’Dell, along with other members of the committee, including Kermit Ramey and Kathy Myall, explored the Opera House to document needed building repairs, and presented repair estimates to the board. The goal of the committee is to restore the building for use by the community. According to O’Dell, estimates of two local contractors reveal the total cost for all building repairs, including restoration of the restrooms and kitchen, roof repairs, electricity, etc., exceeds an amount of $90,000. The one-mill increase would generate about $16,604 each of the four-years it is levied. “I was vety happy and very pleased,” O’Dell said about the board’s decision. “I hope the people will consider this (millage) a necessity or we’re going to lose it (the Opera House) like we did the drug store.” Vermontville Township Supervisor Ed Sampson noted the next step is to contact the Eaton County Clerk to learn the procedure for putting the request on the ballot. In addition, an at­ torney may have to examine the ballot request to insure the legality of the wording. At this point, noted Sampson, the township is still not sure whether two other issues will have to be put to a vote of the people along with the millage request. One is a possible need to request permission of the voters to use the Opera House as a community center. The other possible ballot issue involves the number of mills the township and the area is allowed to levy. If the mill should exceed the limit, the voters would have to approve exceeding the limit. The township also will request a waiver from the village of Vermontville to renovate the Opera House. Sampson noted there seems to be some discrepency as to the actual ownership of the Opera House. He said he has located a deed that shows the property was deeded to the township, but long time village residents claim the building is owned in part by the township and the village. “During construction, some say the township started building the struc­ ture and the village helped and some say the village started building and couldn’t complete it so the township finished it,” said Sampson, but, “The major reSponsiblity is in the township, although the village has helped by building the steps and budgeting to pay for some repairs. That’s why we need to get a waiver from the village.” Another unrelated issue will also be placed on the November ballot, a request to eliminate the position of constable in the township. “Noone holds that position now and no one filed peititons to run for it in the last election,” said Sampson. “The position itself has no responsibilities anymore” He noted that in the early days, the constible was the police officer, but now there are no real responsibilities to go along with the job. In other township business, two members of the Eaton County Road Commission were present at the request of the township to give recommendations as to local road conditions. Sampson said the township will decide what road work it wishes to complete this summer, and advise the road commission of its plans so the work can be put up for bid. Pam Godbey is Nashville Villages office manager Pam Godbey is the new Nashville office manager. by Shelly Sulser The Nashville Village Council voted Thursday to hire Nashville resident and village clerk candidate Pam Godbey as the new village office, manager. The council decided Dec. 4 to create the new position of office manager in order to relieve the village clerk of duties not outlined in the village charter for that job. Godbey, 22, a current employee of Carl’s Super­ market in Nashville, has noted she will begin work in the village March 10. She will earn a salary of about$9,880 per year Her duties will include water and sewer billing, collecting money on bills and other daily office affairs of the village. Also an unopposed Republican candidate for village clerk, Godbey recently received 71 votes in the Nashville primary election to win her a spot on the March 10 general elec­ tion ballot. Should she win the clerk post, Godbey will handle both the duties of clerk and office manager, earning an additional $3,500 annually as clerk. At present, Godbey serves as deputy clerk in Castleton township. Her resume notes her skills include typing 60 wpm, operating an IBM personal computer, using a dictaphone and 10 key ad­ ding machine, and have a knowledge -of basic ac­ counting procedures. She also has experience in registering voters, recording minutes, and figuring payroll. Godbey is the wife of Glenn P. Godbey, a Castleton Township trustee, and has two children. In other business, the council voted to approve the tentative activity budget of the village for the 1986 fiscal year. Total receipts and ex­ penditures are estimated at $739,523, as compared to budgeted receipts and ex­ penditures in 1985 of $687,566 and $576,786.84 in 1984. Some estimated general fund receipts in the proposed budget include $90,000 in receipts from general taxes (10-mills), $45,000 from street taxes (five mills) and $58,734 from sales tax. The village also expects to receive a total of $53,700 in metered water service, and $52,000 in metered sewer service as indicated in the proposed water and sewer fund budget. An estimated $58,000 is generated to the village from base sewer rates, as indicated in the budget. OFFICE MANAGER, cont. page 2 General Election Monday in Nashville and Vermontville Two village general elections will take place Monday, March 10 when voters will decide who will hold office in Nashville and Vermontville in the near future. In Nashville, all can­ didates are unopposed Republicans seeking two year terms. John Hughes hopes to clinch his post of village president while incumbent candidate for treasurer Lois Elliston and incumbent candidate for village assessor Justin W. Cooley are also seeking reelection. Pam Godbey, a first time candidate for clerk, also is unopposed. Candidates for three available trustee seats open on the village council include incumbents Carl Tobias and Marsha Ainslie and newcomer Larry Filter. The three edged out their op­ ponents — Suzanne L. Kienutske, Don Williams, and Frank A. Purchis — in the Feb. 17 primary election. In Vermontville’s general election, Democrat Sue Villanueva will win the post of village president for another two year term if there is no successful write­ in candidate. Villanueva recently defeated Democratic challenger Don Lewis by only five votes in the primary election held Feb. 17. In the contest for village clerk, Democratic in­ cumbent Sharon Stewart faces Republican challenger Ricki Hill, while in the race for three four-year trustee seats, two Democrats — Bill Bailey and Joe Ann Nehmer — face two Republicans — Rod Harmon and Roger Trowbridge. Vying unopposed for two two-year trustee seats are Democrat Linda Ramey and Republican Russ Bennett. The unopposed candidate for village treasurer is Kathleen Marsh and no one is seeking the open office of village assessor.

NASHVILLE AREA CHURCH SCHEDULES TRINITY GOSPEL CHURCH life groups can actively fight abortion with advertisments, flyers, education of young people, petitions and prayer. “If you saw a young mother walk out into the street, lay her baby down on the pavement and aim a gun at it, wouldn’t you try and stop her from killing that baby?” Nerad said, pointing out that because unborn children are being killed in secret, people don’t see it and pretend like they don’t know it happens. “They just look the other way,” she said. “With any kind of medical procedure, you have risks,” she said, pointing out that “abortion is not safe for the baby, of course, because in most cases, the baby dies.” She also said it’s not safe for the mother, citing a recent incident where an 18year-old girl “died three weeks ago in Montreal after having an abortion.” The Schoolcraft resident became the Michigan Director of W.E.B.A. in 1983, and was later appointed national president of the international ministry in 301 Fuller St., Nashville Sunday School . 10 a.m. Sunday: AWANA........ 6:45 p.m. VERMONTVILLE UNITED CHURCH 304 Phillips St., Nashville 803 Reed St., Nashville 108 N.

Downing and Allen shipped 1500 lbs. of sugar Wed­ nesday, and Hardy and Ainsworth are also buying and shipping large amounts. 1975.. .The snow is three feet or more deep on the level and still falling. The trains still are coming thru regularly but this morning there were four locomotives on the eastbound train and even then it was tough going. 1876.. .For the first time in several years Barry County has been plagued by a case of horse thieving. A fine team belonging to a Baltimore farmer was stolen last week and a valuable driving horse was taken from the streets in Hastings the same night. All three were recovered from a man at Howard City, who had spent a week in Hastings posing as a timber buyer. He is being returned for trial. 1878.. . Some ten or a dozen families from Ohio have arrived here in the past week, settling in Maple Grove and near Woodland. 1880.. . Henry Roe is building anew slaughterhouse in the southern environs of the village, which will be the finest between Grand Rapids and Jackson. ... While driving a well for Roe’s slaughterhouse, B.H. Hoag hit a vein of water at a depth of about 50 feet, which had such a flow that, after the pipes were in, it gushed a stream thru a half-inch pipe more than four feet about the ground. 1884.. . L.J. Wheeler has sold his brick house and lots to John E. Barry. Con­ sideration, $2,000. 1886.. .We understand that quite a strong petition is in the hands of the drain commissioner of Maple Grove to straighten Quaker Brook from Hagerman’s sawmill to the north town line. As the north end of the proposed improvement terminates within this village and if carried out could overflow and damage much real estate in the south part of the corporation, the project will receive a severe kick from Nashville, unless the improvement to Quaker Brook is carried to its outlet Thornapple River. 1887.. . March came in as balmy and gentle as it was ever known to; now if it will only continue the balm business for about thirty days, we guarantee April will shed grateful tears. 1892.. . Tom Niles has done a good piece of work this week in straightening up C.L. Glasgow’s store building, which had settled to one side so badly that it appeared about to fall over into the alley. It will also receive other repairs. The wareroom, we understand, will be ceiled and converted into a fine store room. 1899.. . Prof. C.B.

Now the new Pontiac Six changes all that. Developed by engineers who could draw on the almost limitless resources of General Motors, it vides not only the economy or an unexpectedly low price —bu but every characteristic of high quality. It provides the striking beauty of a Oakland Six. Frank Weber (right), a printer who learned his trade on The Nashville News starting in 1888 under Len W.

I, also, am proud of the new storm sewers and paved streets. I wish we could have done all of them, but we did not have the money. A person can do a good job in office if they think what they feel is best for the village and people. You should not make quick decisions that might effect everyone in the village. You should not make promises, because there are times when things cannot get done.

DENNIS: VERMONTVILLE DUPLEX: LUNCH MENU By Superintendent: Carroll J. Wolff Thirty-five Maple Valley teachers recently completed a five week training program presented by Kay Howell from the Michigan Dyslexia Institute. Two Maple Valley substitute teachers also were enrolled in the program. The intent of this training is to prepare teachers to be more aware of and better prepared to work with students experiencing learning problems. A teacher consultant will be working with the Maple Valley teachers later in March regarding the progress being made within the classroom as a follow-up to the material presented at the class sessions.

The Lions bumped off Potterville 63-47 on Friday night and GalesburgAugusta 68-56 on Saturday. Maple Valley coach Jerry Reese, whose team finished 6-14, said the wins set up his team nicely for tonight’s district clash at Bellevue with Parchment (10-8). “It gives us a good attitude and that’s what you need,” said Reese. “It’s been a long season and it’s important it ends on a high note. “They (Potterville and G­ A) aren’t the strongest teams, but you’re counting on the positive and this will carry over.” Reese said the difference between these 2 games and the Lions’ first 18 games is balanced scoring. Instead of Mike Siple and Tai Gearhart carrying the scoring load, several others chipped in against the Vikings and Rams. Even so, Gearhart scored 17 and 15 against G-A and Potterville and added 9 assists against Potterville. Siple scored 15 and 16 while having 19 rebounds against Potterville. Others carrying the scoring load were Bob McMillan, who scored 16 points in the 2 games, and George Steinbrecher, who popped in 16 against Pot­ terville. Jordan Ferrier also contributed 18 points in the 2 games, including 12 against G-A. “We’re getting scoring from the other players and that’s the big difference,” said Reese. Against Potterville, the Lions jumped to a 31-22 halftime lead, and although the Vikings closed the gap to 43-38, Maple Valley wrapped up the game with a 19-9 binge over the last 8 minutes. Against Galesburg, the Lions led 33-31 at the half and wrapped up the game in the third period with a 16-9 advantage. • Appearing at.. — LIVE MUSIC— J ^JDarkness’: by Shelly Sulser Communication in the Maple Valley School District is “almost non-existent” according to a report given Monday by the Citizens Advisory Committee The 29-member com­ mittee, made up of various community citizens, was appointed by the Maple Valley Board of Education in November to conduct a study of district programs and allocations of resources. Establishment of the committee was a result of suggestions by Lee Gerard, Rick Kent and Chris MacGregor, resource people from neighboring school districts. The committee reported its findings with recom­ mendations to the board of education at a special meeting last Monday. Loma Wilson, chairperson of the support services subcommittee of the citizens advisory committee, told board members at the Feb. 24 special meeting that the committee found “com­ munications almost non­ existent between teachers, administrators, the board of education, bus drivers and non-teaching personnel.” In addition, she noted the subcommittee discovered that communication between the schools and the people of the district is also almost non-existent, and that district residents without Nashville or Vermontville mailing addresses do not received anything from the schools. The support services subcommittee recommended the establishment of an employee advisory committee for “internal” communication, consisting of key communicators such as teachers, cooks, secretarys, custodians, union representatives, bus drivers, etc., and to supply them with appropriate in­ service and necessary facilitation to effectively work to improve internal communication and staff morale. These recommendations for the superintendent’s office were listed under the critical needs category, along with the suggestions that the district designate a public relations coordinator to insure and improve communication and provide accountability for com­ munication activities; create and publish a monthly update-newsletter to be distributed to the parents off all students to keep parents involved and informed; and to publish monthly employee newsletters to improve communication and build employee morale. Critical recommendations for the board of education included the reestablishment of a board public relationscommunications committee to encourage a two-way, systematic process off communication and to develop policy regarding communications for the Fuller kindergarteners win prizes for creations Students in Pam Hunt's kindergarten classes at Fuller Street Elementary School in Nashville earned awards for their creative Valentine boxes. Hunt said the pro­ ject gives the students and parents an opportunity to work together at home on a school project.

(Maple Valley News Photo by Shelly Sulser) district and establish a budget for a public relations communication program to insure improved com­ munication in the district. Another recommendation involved the creation by the board of a citizen committee to deal with public relations communications. “This committee, representing all interests of the community, will develop the long range public relations plans for Maple Valley Schools,” the report states. In addition, it was suggested by the sub­ committee that the district highlight at least one positive activity ofa teacher, student, non-teaching em­ ployee or volunteer at each board meeting and release news to appropriate media because “we must ac­ centuate the positive.” Also, the board needs state support, according to the subcommittee, of an outline policy for effective use of the volunteer program, “Part­ ners in Excellence”.

This could be a volunteer citizen, teacher, secretary or the principal; conduct monthly staff meetings; create and publish newletters for parents of all students on at least a monthly basis and seek to develop further community outreach through the development of strong parent teacher organizations at each building. Not only was the Maple Valley schools found to be lacking in communication, 5L but committee found all the district buildings to be in “much need of repair, both major and minor items,” Wilson said. In the printed report of the committee, several items are listed under critical needs for each building, including a new roof for the junior-senior high school, Kellogg Elementary School in Nashville and at Fuller Elementary in Nashville. A need to replace and repair broken lights, was also noted, as was the need for improvement in general cleaning at Fuller. “The whole school needs to be Personal Touch Beauty Salon 6901 Thornapple Lake Rd., Nashville, Ml Owned i Operated by DIANE McGHAN • HOT WAX • COLORING • BRAIDS • SHAMPOOS and SETS • PERMS CUTS • NAILS Wfflatrix - HAIR COLORING ... so gull* you can color and peon wov* th* sam* day.

No soap in the bathrooms was also noted. At Maplewood Elementary in Vermontville, one critical need suggestion was to enclose the walkway in front of the school to cut down on heat costs. In the area of food service, said Wilson, the committee found a lack of organization. “No one person is responsible for things like ordering supplies,” she said. Some recommendations based on ideas from the cooks, other schools systems and general observations, include improving the cleanliness of the high school kitchen and cafeteria, providing more food variety at Maplewood and more help from the custodians at Fuller. However, in the area of transportation, “we could find very little wrong with that,” Wilson told the board. But in the printed report, some critical needs were outlined, including the need to install an exhaust system in the bus garage. “It is at times necessary to run the buses inside the garage, thus causing an exhaust fume problem, especially in the winter when doors are closed.” The possibility of purchasing a flexible hose to clamp on the exhaust pipe and run it outdoors, was mentioned in the report. It also noted that com­ munications between the drivers at Nashville and the drivers at Vermontville needs to be improved, and recommended a possible newsletter for them. “I would like to say, some of these recommendations may require monetary expenditures, like roof repairs, window Bargain Basement Savings Check these timely Specials 10 PACK JUMBO 00 IRONING BOARD Reg­ Pad & Cover TefIra" Plastic Hangers Garden Seeds lOfor 1 Co-chairs of the Maple Valley Board of Education appointed Citizen Advisory Committee Pastor Lester DeGroot and Susan Butler speak to other committee members, school district employees and school board members concerning the findings of the committee. replacement, a general maintenance program and so forth,” Wilson said. “Others are cost savers which can be done through better organization, and combining other job responsibilities which can be done at little or no cost to the district.” Other members of the support services sub­ committee included Dawn Meade, Gene Koetje, Jeff Frayer, Donna Garvey, John B.

STEWART, Village Clerk �Vermontvi l e syrup maker learned techniques from grandfather Th* Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 4, 1986 — Page 12 Don Hickey and his wife Karen call their syrup operation "Hilltop Maples''. Hickey uses pails on some trees he taps, while tubes are used on others. by Shelly Sulser Don Hickey began making maple syrup as a freshman in high school when he had 30-taps and used a flat pan made from a tin roof to boil the sap. Now, as a farmer on Thornapple Lake Road and the father of three, Hickey maintains over 5,000 taps and makes nearly 800gallons of fresh maple syrup each year in his own evaporator, a tradition he learned from his grand­ father. “I’ll make it the rest of my life — until I can’t walk anymore,” said Hickey. Hickey’s grandfather, Joe Hickey, passed away at the age of 73 and was so devoted to making the syrup, he did it until his death two years ago. “Grandad made syrup for probably 40 years,” recalled Hickey. “He taught me to tap and make syrup.” Hickey’s own recipe has been tasted by people in France, Czechoslovakia, Spain, Germany, Poland, Mexico and most every state in the U.S. “Foreign exchange students buy it and take it home to their parents who will order more from me year after year,” said Hickey. People who travel to Vermontville’s famous Maple Syrup Festival each April also purchase the fresh sweet stuffto take home with them, he said. “One guy and his wife come from North Carolina every year in their van with their 17-dogs and buy syrup from me,” he chuckled. In addition, he said seven Southern Baptist Churches have already put in their STOREWIDE LIMITED QUANTITIES ON ALL ITEMS 25% Off Tingley and all other Boots in Stock Kendall LD-44 Insect Fogger 2 ib. can...........$6.40 1/3 Off Chicken Equipment 40% Off All Bird Feeders 1/2 Off Heat Bulbs and Fixtures 1/2 Off Rakes, Hoes and Snow Shovels • 30% Off Horse Halters Vermontville area resident Don Hickey began tapping his maples last week. order for a 55-gallon drum of syrup. But recalling his youth when he made four to five gallons of sap from his 30 taps, Don notes the business became a sort of enterprise for him. A lifelong resident of the area, Hickey said he used to make maple sugar and sell it at school. “I made $400 to $500 from selling the sugar candy,” he recalled. Now, as a farmer of over 40 head of cattle and more than 200 acres of land, Hickey’s day usually begins at about 4:30 a.m. during tapping season. Using a modern method of tapping, Hickey prefers the tubing system, which con­ nects each tree to one another with a fivesixteenths hollow tube that connects to a half-inch tube. The half inch tube either drains the sap into a nearby tank or runs sap right to the sugar shanty on the farm through a connected oneinch tube. This prevents having to go from tree to tree to empty pails. “It saves a lot of work and money,” said Hickey, “It’s a lot more economical because I would need to use about 3,500 pails that cost about $3.75 each. With the tubes, it only costs about $1.25 per tap.” He noted, however, not all the trees are tapped with the tubing system because of the gravity factor. “It’s hard to use the tubing system in a level woods because the gravity makes Jthe sap flow down to the shanty,” Hickey said, who has used tubes for tapping since 1981. He noted with so many trees to tap, six hired men help him, including his cousin Joe Orsborn. “They’re more like 301 S. Main St., Nashville, Ml 517-852-0789 foremen in the woods,” he said. Don’s wife, Karen, is also his partner in the business, keeping busy with the canning, washing of pails and maintenance of the sugar shanty when she is not working at her job at Oldsmobile in Lansing. The two call their operation “Hilltop Maples.” “On a good day we’ll probably collect 6,000 to 10,000 gallons of sap,” noted Hickey, “andwitha good run we’ll make about 100-gallons of syrup per day.” He added the tapping season this year has started later than ususal, and will probably last into April. With so much syrup to be made and so much ad­ ditional farm work to do, Hickey says they often find themselves boiling sap well into the night. “Quite a few nights we’ll boil all night,” he said, recalling one week last year when he went four days without sleep because he had been boiling sap straight through. Hickey contends his syrup is popular with customers because his prices are much cheaper than those of other private syrup producers. “It’s the lowest you’ll pay for high quality syrup,” he said, noting his homemade syrup is priced at $17 per gallon while others are $21. The couple said they sell about 300 gallons of syrup from their home at 10648 Thornapple Lake Road, while the rest is sold through orders, an Okemos wholesaler and at stands the ACTION-ADS and Leads_______________ Nashville Co-op Elevator Don Hickey checks some taps in a tree tapped with the tubing system.

In all, nearly $4,000 can be made from the project in one syrup season. With so many trees being drained of their life fluid year after year, one might wonder if it ever gets to be too much for the old timbers. Not so says the devoted sap farmer. “Actually, a tree will produce five to eight times more sap than it needs to survive,” he noted. He also added he hopes his own children, 10-year-old Shannon, five-year-old Amber and three-year-old Shane will carry on the syrup making tradition. “They all help in some way or another...everybody works,” Hickey said.

Today, many of the troops will join after school to go roller skating at the Thor­ napple Roller Rink. The scouts will return to Fuller School at 5:15. Sunday, March 9, is the Father-Daughter bowling. Bowling will be at the Hastings Bowl, starting between 12 and 12:30. There will be snacks available. The scouts are looking forward to this time with their dads. This is a neighborhood event with scouts from Hastings, Nashville and Woodland participating. Fifteen scout troops from Daisy through Senior Scouts were ready to participate in the “Wide World of Scouting,” held Feb. 20. Due to the awful snow storm several troops were unable to make it. The scouts and leaders that were able to participate put on a nice program sharing what their troop learned about their chosen country. After the program parents and scouts viewed the table displays and sampled food from the various countries. Food samples cost- a penny. From this $17.50 was raised to donate to the Juilette Low World Friendship Fund. Parents also had an op­ portunity to donate to the Girl Scouting program through Annual Giving. It is estimated that the scouting program costs the council $87 per girl per year to run the quality programs the council runs. Last Saturday, Lynn Meghan arranged for her scouts to go to the circus in Battle Creek. The girls had a great time.

One highlight of the evening was when veteran syrup maker Fern Gearhart of the Charlotte area displayed some old syrup making equipment and told about the progression of the syrup making method through the years. Another unusual attraction was when Gearhart demonstrated the making of “leather aprons,” by pouring hot syrup onto snow. The syrup immediately froze, creating a taffy-like treat. Although the “Sugaring Off” event has been a tradition through the years in Vermontville, some in attendance made their first appearance, such as Don Schelter of Lake Odessa who is an uncle of alternate queen, Katrina Schriver. “This is pretty heat, I never knew how they did that before,” he said while stirring the hot syrup as it turned to the hard sugar candy. New queen Deana Hampton and court member Michelle Dickinson enjoy making the maple sugar Thursday. Hot Maple Syrup on snow creates "Leather Aprons" one of many maple syrup recipes.

She is active in Girl Scouts and enjoys collecting stuffed animals. Michelle says she has never made maple syrup, but has watched the process several times. “I think it is very in­ teresting and would like to learn more about making the famous maple syrup,” she wrote in an essay for the queen contest “My .suggestion for im­ proving the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival is to see more area bands in the parade. Being a member of our school band, I would like to see and hear other high school bands. I also would like to see more bleachers for the talent show,” said Michelle.

A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) Box The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 114 - No. 35 — Tuesday, March 11, 1986 Bus trip planned to Muskegon Prison to educate community by Shelly Sulser Forty area citizens in­ terested in learning more about the possibility of building a prison in or near Vermontville will have the opportunity to tour a similar facility one week from today. Council member Russ Bennett announced at Vermontville’s Village Council meeting Thursday that a state funded tour of the Muskegon state prison will take place March 18. He noted a bus will leave Ver­ montville at 10 a.m. next Tuesday to take a capacity load of about 40 interested citizens to Muskegon to learn more about the prison systems. The council had agreed at its February meeting to investigate the possiblity of building a prison in or near Vermontville, as a result of a proposal by Bennett. “They’re going to take a group of people over there and let them talk to the rest of the community,” said Bennett, “and if they generate enough interest out of that, they will have a (public) meeting (locally) and talk to the three or four hundred people, whatever comes, and answer questions.” The council noted the tour will only include about 40people because of security reasons. It was noted that those who wish to attend the tour can call the village office to reserve a seat, which will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. According to members of the prison study committee — Lana Oster, Sue Villanueva, Russ Bennett — some people have already been chosen to attend. “I felt we should include what the council’s actions would be if it learned that the community,” said majority of the people are Villanueva. “I feel that they against the prison. are a big part of it too, not t “I would dare say that if just the village, it’s the whole the majority of the people community.” don’t want it, it won’t be She added William Kime here,” Bennett replied. “I from the State Department can’t guarantee that but I of Corrections and James would say that’s probably Curran of the Department of what it would be.” Management and Budget Harmon also pointed out suggested the tour to educate that as far away as the public.

Bennett claims that revenue generated from having a prison in the area would enable the village and township to repair the local roads. The council contends that it takes no firm stand on the prison proposal either for or against it, and will not until all questions are answered and the community con­ census is known. Resident Harold Stewart told the council that “I want a personal comittment from you as you get information, will you pass it on to the public through the paper?” Villanueva responded by saying, “The next thing will be the tour and then the open pulic hearing.” Prison story on page 14 Vermontville to conduct housing study Man arrested for B & E at Big George’s Party Store by Shelly Sulser A Vermontville man was arrested early Sunday morning for the alleged breaking and entering of Big George’s Party Store in Nashville. James Neal Harshman, 19, of 9082 Carlisle, Vermontville, was arrested at approximately 1:20 a.m. Sunday mornidg, about one half hour after the incident occurred, by Nashville Police Officer Walter Pincumbe who had probable cause to believe Harshman had committed the crime, said acting Police Chief Gene Koetje. Koetje said Harshman allegedly broke the window on the front door of the party store and reached inside to unlock the door and enter the unoccupied building. Koetje said alcohol, processed meat, cigarettes and about 12 lottery tickets were taken, some of which were found on Harshman. Members of the Vermontville Village Council (l-r) Linda Ramey, Village President Sue Villanueva, and Kay Marsh discuss the proposed prison issue with Election results printed in Reminder The council noted the village attempted four years ago to conduct a similar study of the area, but ac­ cording to one finance company, funding was denied because of “in­ sufficient justification” from the people. In other business, the council agreed to send a letter to the Eaton County Prosecutor stating the village’s disatisfaction with the issuance of the amount of damage in a warrant for a Vermontville man who vandalized the village office. According to officer John Stidham, damage done amounts to at least $1,000 dollars, but the warrant for the arrest of the vandal was issued at $100 or less damage “making it a misdemeanor,” Stidham said. A letter to the council from resident Jeanette Schultz stated she would pay the village $181.84 for sewer repairs done on her property, and may proceed with legal action toward the village before paying any amount over that. Schultz claims her sewer was not installed properly and that she should only be required to pay one-third of the cost for repairs. The village had voted in October to require Schultz to pay half the cost for the sewer repair, amounting to $272.23. The council decided to take no action on the matter until contacted by Schultz’s at­ torney. Village Attorney David L. Smith reported to the council that the Michigan Municipal League has agreed to recind the village’s insurance policy and is expected to refund it’s $12,500 premium paid last October. A Livonia law firm had filed a class action suit against the Michigan Municipal League using Vermontville as an example, for allegedly binding municipalities to illegal State Department of Management and Budget because of the interest ex­ pressed by the council to consider the building of a prison in Vermontville.

According to Ed Borner of the sub-committee that reported its recent findings to the board of education two weeks ago, the average levied mills for all districts in Michigan is 32.8 while the Maple Valley district only levies 25.01 total. “It’s been a very, very enlightening 1,000 hours,” Borner said of the time spent studying school finances. The sub-committee is part of the the Maple Valley Board of Education ap­ pointed Citizen Advisory Committee made up of 29 various community citizens. The committee was charged by the board in November, at the suggestion of resource people from neighboring districts, to conduct a study of district programs and allocations of resources in the Maple Valley School District. The committee reported its findings with recom­ mendations to the board of education at a special school board meeting Feb. 24 in the high school cafeteria. Borner reported that the sub-committee discovered that salaries and benefits consume 84 percent of the budget, while per pupil expenditures for instruction salaries ranks 396th in the state. He also noted that average teacher salaries rank 313th, and per pupil expenditures for support services salaries rank 433rd. “It appears that the Maple Valley School Board and administration have done well on the limited funds available,” Borner said. “We commend the school board and administration, for doing as much as they have with so little funding.” Borner commended the various community support groups for their “substantial contribution to the overall school program,” he said. “Frankly speaking,’’ Bomfer added, “Maple Valley operates on a very lean budget and no major areas of waste or excess were noted,” he said. “However, the time has come to move forward if the children of Maple Valley are to be properly prepared to meet .the challenges of today’s society. We must find new ways to assist and support the children of this community.” Borner stressed that setting goals and developing short and long range plans to attain these goals are essential. “More efficient budgeting may get us a little more out of each dollar,” Borner said. Another suggestion was better communication to help to eliminate the feeling of distrust; spelling out where new revenues are to be spent that may result in community support for new millage. “There are, however, a number of specific Recommendations tlie Liiqance committee wot otfbd r like to make reagrdi *’ improvement of pr es used in order to ovi e the highest quality e ucation for the children Waple Valley,” said Bomer. In the printed committee report,, recommendations are listed along with rationales for those recommendations. One suggests the schools establish more effective straight forward communication by the ad­ ministration with the community, and a listing of priorities regarding ex­ penditures, to be com­ municated regularly to the citizens. “Poor communication creates suspicion and doubt,” states the report. “Good communication leads to good decision making and informed voting.” Another recommendation states that the school board and administrators avail themselves to the services of outside professionals and EISD (Eaton Intermediate School District) staff prior to future millage proposals, because “seemingly small matters such as the timing of contract settlements and tax notices can make a big impact on millage issues,” says the report. Also, the finance sub­ committee feels the school board and administration of Maple Valley should pursue a zero base budgeting policy (starting from scratch each year by completely analysing each program and-or expenditure before refunding is approved) for the district. This, according to the committee, has been shown to be a more efficient and cost effective way of budgeting versus the traditional, historical basis of budgeting. Another recommendation noted that the board and administration should establish a three or five year budget projection for the district, because “the school district would benefit from analyzing income and an­ ticipated costs to avoid crisis management.” The board and ad­ ministration should utilize a computer system for the budget process, according to the committee, because it is imperative to stay on top of actual expenditures versus budgeted expenditures. “A computer system allows you to be very timely,” states the report.

S^uto-Owners insurance because inadequate evaluations for all em­ ployees may result in fair and poor employees being retained: don’t always hire the least expensive ap­ plicant; make sure we have an aggressive recruiting process; make make sure meaningful evaluation procedures are used. The finance committee recommends that the school board have an in-depth study done on the financial feasibility of the Maple Valley School District im­ plementing its own adult education program to gain more state aid within the district. Finally, the schools should, said the committee, seek professional guidance to pursue alternative means of financing. “We must explore all possible alternatives to support an improved program,” the finance report concludes. Other members of the finance sub-committee in addition to Bomer, included Chairperson Bill Kipp, Diane McGhan, Barbara Linsley, Dale Fisher, Brian Benedict, Tom Oleson, Timothy Smith and Ron Tutt. Next week’s Maple Valley News will report on the findings of the Curriculum Sub-committee headed by Chairperson Sue Bahs.

Those years of military service were more than fourdecades ago, but as a veteran Conrad continues to serve his community in a quieter, but still helpful way. Conrad has been appointed to a fourth three-year term on the Barry County Soldiers and Sailors Relief Com­ mission which assists families of veterans by paying part of the funeral expenses of qualified veterans. He will serve on the commission with Burdette Haynor and another veteran to be appointed to the vacancy created by the recent resignation of Grover T. Lethcoe. Conrad, who lives at 6265 Thornapple Lake Rd., has vivid memories of World War II. He enlisted in the Navy in September, 1941, shortly before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and volunteered for for submarine duty. “No, we weren’t an elite group,” Conrad said. “Our joke was, they knew we were nuts to volunteer but they didn’t know how far gone we were. But, it is true that we were all volunteers and we had to pass a rigid physical examination, a mental a examination, dental checkup and especially a 50pound air pressure test of our eardrums. This was important because of the sudden changes in air pressure within the sub­ marine in combat caused by the firing of torpedoes and NASHVILLE VFW 8260 CHICKEN & FISH FRY Friday, March 14 *5:30 ’til 7:30 — NOW SERVING COD — Adults...*4.00 Children under 12...*2.50 VFW 8260 in NASHVILLE — PUBLIC INVITED — HAL NOBLE Let me figure a price that will benefit your needs on a new...

The photo on the lower right depicts the crew on the deck of the Guardfish. submerging tactics.” After graduation from submarine school in New London, Conn., he was assigned to the submarine “Guardfish” which was located in nearby Groton, Conn. Conrad served on the Guardfish throughout his naval career and made eight-combat patrol runs on the sub. Conrad left the states in June, 1942 and was at sea in the Pacific Ocean nearly all the time until March, 1945. “We served what was called two-and-two, twomonths at sea and then twoweeks in port, but the average in port was threeweeks. Our service at sea varied according to how long our torpedoes lasted. We carried 24-torpedoes and we stayed out until our torpedoes were expended. Sometimes that would be as short as 23-days. On two occasions we were at sea for 72-days straight. We cruised thousands of miles in the Pacific.” Conrad’s Guardfish submarine was credited with confirmed sinkings of 19enemy ships, totalling 77,000tons, including two enemy destroyers, freighters, trawlers, tankers, cargo ships, patrol ships and large sampans carrying soldiers. Guardfish rescued U.S. combat pilots and landed and picked up survey parties and Marine Raider Scouts. In addition to confirmed sinkings of enemy ships, the Guardfish had unconfirmed sinkings and numerous in­ stances of damaging enemy ships. “Was I ever frightened and thought, this is the end? Many a time,” said Conrad. “We had quite a few narrow escapes from depth charges; the enemy ships threw them on us; they exploded as we cruised or lay still in the deep ocean. “Other times we had some faulty torpedoes. Do you remember reading about that during World War II? Well, the result was when we lined up and made a run (fired a torpedo), the tor­ pedo exploded prematurely or it went off course and we would get depth charges,” he said. “One time we ware hit with depth charges before we were completely down (submerged) and they broke an air line and an oil line, a very dangerous situation. Another time the enemy ships sat right on top (of the surface) of us and for 18­ hours they drove us down and kept us down. Every 15­ minutes they dropped depth charges on us. They knew where we were from our air bubbles and oil slick. If they Ik NEW — Spring Prints ..from Lace & Eyelet Trims...from Bridal Satins & Laces 3^ FROM 50* *43 AUTHENTIC HISTORICAL PATTERNS 218 E.

The paper, “Valley Visions,” was then formed to serve the combined district. The earliest Nashville school paper was the “Union School Star,” which made its debut some century ago at the village’s new 1885 Union School. In 1902 the Union School burned to the ground and was replaced with similary-styled brick building on the same Washington Street site. Nearly 30 years later another prominent and professionally produced newspaper, “The Informant, made its debut at Nashville High and was published at least through the early 1930s. Both the “Star” and the “Informant” were printed at the Nashville News office the former under the guidance of News founder Orno Strong and the latter during the tenure of editor­ publisher Willard St. Clair Gloster, owner of the weekly from 1930-41. At various times throughout the life of The Nashville News (a con- tinuously published The first issue of the "Informant" made its appear­ ance on October 12, 1931. (The word "The" was added to the name in all subsequent issues.) Editor Vidian Roe said it was "the first school paper in Nashville High School for about two-score years. Its goal, he noted, was "to unite the school in a feeling of school spirit and comradeship.'The headlined story in the first issue tells of a 50-percent cut in Nashville school taxes. forerunner of the Maple Valley News founded by Orno Strong in 1873) local school news was carried by the newspaper on a special page dedicated to that purpose and generally produced wholly by students under the guidance of teachers. Debuting in the 1940s the “Tiger Rag,” the third school paper of The Nash­ ville News at the start of the 1952-53 school year. It con­ tinued there on a weekly basis until the following school year when it became an independently printed publication. The expense of in­ dependent production of school papers of the past was met in various ways: a subscription fees, ad­ vertising revenues and fundraisers. According to an item of December 21, 1886, in the “Star,” the school paper paid Orno Strong $6.50 for each issue of 200 copies. To cover that cost, noted the reporter, “Our advertising will amount to about $40 and we have already received $26.60 by subscription.” Down through the years since that item appeared, one can note some similarities in the format of reporting school news as well as several distinct differences. One point in particular is that the earlier papers seem to reflect much more interest in state and national news as well as that pertaining only to the local school or community. Following we have ex­ cerpted items from all three Nashville school papers (the “Star” of the 1880s, the “Informant” of the 1930s, and “Tiger Rag” of the 1950s) to share with our readers the news that was of interest to students, teachers and parents in the month of March those many years Built in 1902 to replace the Union School, this school building was home to "The Informant", a popular student newspaper of the 1930s. It also was printed at The Nashville News office. The heyday of "The Informant" was at the height of the Great Depression, and the sheet frequently carried stories relative to the subject, ranging from jesting poetry about hard times to reports of bank closures. Nashville's high school appeared as seen in this 1950s photo (showing the 1936 W. K. Kellogg addition at left) when the "Tiger Rag" made its debut. Generally an independent publication, the "Rag" became a regular weekly page of The Nashville News produced by students for the 1952-53 school year, but the following year returned to its independent status. In those days, the district was known as Nashville W. K. Kellogg Agricultural School. The structure at right was razed in 1966. The addition still serves the consolidated Maple Valley system. ago. Taken From the Union School Star of March 15,1886: Gum-chewing is fashionable. There are 450 boys in the reform school in Lansing. A number of district and town schools throughout the state have been closed on account of sickness. A measure of establishing “department of a agriculture and labor” is pending before Congress. We are told tht Charlie Brumm was recently seized, thrown down and robbed, sustaining but slight per­ sonal injuries, and suffering no great loss. Sheldon Cook, George Bell and Sanford Truman have purchased some good plays. They will probably work up a drama before the close of the sping term. The teacher’s examination of Thursday next will be held in the high school room. Many of our students who had intended to try the examination will be prevented on account of sickness. A library is very much needed in the school, and as soon as the organ is paid for ($62.50) an effort will be made to raise money for the purchase of an encyclopedia, but in the meantime we hope that all who have books to spare will donate them for this purpose. Taken From The Informant of March 14,1932: The Girls’ Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Roe, plans to participate in the Michigan State Music Contest-Festival for all high school musical organizations of Michigan at Kalamazoo in May. A series of calistenic exercises has been advised because of bad posture and pale coloring that shows the necessity of more fresh air and exercise. Mr. Reed will direct the boys, and Mr. Wallace will appoint someone each day to direct the girls, in various breathing and arm exer­ cises. A great percentage of the student body has been absent on account of the flu epidemic. Vacant desks are beginning to fill up now. The candy sales by the Senior class, as well as the bake sales downtown have been well patronized by everyone, and they wish to thank all who helped. Every penny makes Niagara’s roar nearer. (Note; The Seniors Not long after Nashville's new 1885 Union School was put into use, a student newspaper called "The Union School Star" appeared on the scene. Printed at The Nashville News office in the late 1880s, the paper became the first of three student publications to serve the high school over its approximately 80-year life. In the days when print media was the primary form of communication, the "Star" carried state and national news notes as well as local items. The Union School was completely destroyed by fire in February 1902. were attempting to raise $180 for a trip to Niagara Falls.) Roger Sackett, Vernon Nauve and Billy Roe went to Sunfield to see a basketball game played between St. John and Sunfield, the latter of which Mr. Reed is a member. The Pythian Family Night was well attended a week ago Tuesday by many of the students and parents. Old fashioned square dances were enjoyed after dinner. The well-stocked library of the high school is one to be proud of, even if the books show the markes of ceaseless reading by some students... There are many reference bodes for history, civics, economics, literature and for biology, to help complete the lessons over which we toil. World books and encyclopediae are here for our use and should be used more. Taken From the Tiger Rag of March 11,1954: Nashville was not the only school in the area to be closed last week when Barry County, as well as the whole middle west, was blanketed under the worst snow storm of the season - reported to be the worst in 15 years to hit various midwestern com­ munities. Twenty-seven students participated in the annual forensic contest staged Tuesday at the School. The entire student body gathered in the gymnasium to hear the contestants, who were en- tered in three divisions: dramatic or humorous readings, and declamations. The Juniors will sponsor a bake sale Saturday at Keihl Hardware to add funds to the class treasury. The class is also busy with the production of the Junior play, “Brainstorm” to be presented in April. The school and three Nashville business places were entered and robbed in the night last week. The Nashville News, the depot, and Riverside Feed Mill were victims of a robbery similar to the one that deprived Nashville school organizations of their meager earnings. After nearly six months of work the annual staff, headed by Editor Sandra Hamilton, is pleased to announce that the yearbook is at last finished and has been sent away to be printed. The total price (per book) to students will be about $2.25. Plans for a three-room addition to Fuller Street school were presented recently to Bruce Randall, president of the board of education, and Superin­ tendent John Kimball by a representative of Warren­ Holmes Co., architects, of Lansing. The addition will cost $35,000 and will be paid for by bonds supported by added millage.

SPRING wardrobe at... The Village Hair Port 470 East Main, Vermontville 726-0257 I think that the council’s proposal to bring a prison into the Vermontville area was not in the best interest of the residents of Vermontville but rather to the interest of a few that think they could profit from its building. The prison will not bring jobs to Vermontville. I hiring is done, it will be from a test area that covers Lansing to Battle Creek. But first they have to offer the jobs to laid off state workers. With Federal budget cuts it is estimated there will be 5,600 additional state workers laid off. The prison system will not be buying their supplies from downtown but from the wholesale warehouses that the state always does business with. The building will not be done by local contractors but big con­ tractors that can do the job the cheapest and the quickest. I have talked with realtors from Lansing who say no matter where you put a prison, once that building starts to go up, property values go down and the only reason they rise again is because of inflation. The prison, being state property, does not have to pay property tax to Ver­ montville and would not need to improve our roads. If a school bus can get down the roads, so could a prison bus. The council says that these prisoners will be from our part of the state and not Special Savings — THIS WEEK ONLY — All American Made — Shop and Compare DELTA COMBINATION SINK FAUCETS A quality faucet that offers years of dependable service.

The type of prisoner that would (as they call it) walk away from a prison, is not the one that is in for embezzlement, check fraud, or possession of drugs, but the one that beat an 18 year old 7-11 store clerk to death for $50. We all know what it is like living even this close to the Ionia system when they walk away. During a phone con­ versation with Mr. Curran of the Dept, of management and budget, I was informed that nothing could be built on wetlands, so it won’t be in my backyard, which only leaves the higher area of downtown Vermontville. Then, there are the questions of increasing the size of the fire department to cover what would be a population increase (of prisoners) of about 50 per­ cent, and the feasibility and environmental studies. Who’s going to pay for all these? I think everyone who really cares should call or write our council and tell them how you feel. If you have an idea of how to create an income for Vermontville let them know. It’s unfortunate that after all the time and money Mr. Gillaspie has put into his campground, the only thing we can offer him in return, is a prison. I think the council should be thinking of a way to at­ tract more tourists throughout the year, so all the local merchants could realize a bigger return for their investments. A prison coming to Vermontville is not just a bad joke, but a real and threatening possibility. Richard Dunham Dear Editor: In regards to your article on Don Hickey, Mr. Hickey mentions he sells a great deal of his syrup to people who travel to the Ver­ montville Syrup Festival at stands he attends during our festival. Mr. Hickey is not a member of the Festival Association and does not contribute any time or effort to its production. We as an association spend in excess of $14,000 to put on the Festival. We as citizens of Vermontville and Nash­ ville area spend a great deal of time to make each festival a success. The area chur­ ches, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, band boosters, Lions Club, ball teams, and many other organizations and businesses benefit greatly from the festival. It is to bad that Mr. Hickey feels he can use us without any contribution on his part. Vermontville Festival Assn. To the Editor: Instead of a prison in Vermontville, the village council should consider putting in a Nuclear Waste Dump. This would bring in more than 3.5 million dolars a year and would have the added benefit of not having to plow snow off our roads in the winter. Think about it. J.

AMERICA'S FAMOUS LINCOLN LOG HOMES NOW SEEKING A DEALER FOR THIS AREA Military past, continued from page 3 Once the Guardfish was fired upon with torpedoes from a Japanese submarine while we were submerged. All that happened besides the thousands of depth charges from surface ships,” said Conrad. Aboard the Guardfish, he served as motor machinist mate in the engine room. However, on one 72-day patrol each member of the entire crew had a chance at one time or another to look through the periscope to see an enemy ship sinking, after it had been hit by the Guardfish’s torpedoes. The submarine commander, Lt. Comdr. Klakring gave each man an opportunity to step up to the periscope. The Guardfish operated out of Pearl Harbor and Midway and, for one year, out of Brisbane, Australia. “We were lucky to come home,” said Conrad. “Did you know the United States lost 52-submarines and 3,500men and officers, the highest rate of casualties, for the number of persons involved, of any branch of the service in World War II?” Overseas duty for Conrad ended in March, 1945, when he was sent back to await the building of the “Pickerel” submarine. With the end of the war in Europe and the Pacific, he was discharged from the Navy on September 11, 1945, seven days short of four years of service. Conrad worked for Clark Equipment Co. in Battle Creek until he retired in 1976. He remains active in the Hastings post of the American Legion and in the Michigan Chapter of Sub­ marine Veterans of World War II which meets throughout the year. He served for several years as service officer for the American Legion. Conrad is entitled to wear the Submarine Combat Medal with eight-battle stars for the eight-successful combat patrols of the Guardfish. In addition, he may wear two-bars for two com­ mendations to the Guard­ fish’s crew from com­ manders of the Submarine Force, Pacific Fled. One commendation reads, in part: “The conduct of this first war patrol by the Guardfish sets a criterion for other submarine personnel in determination, aggressiveness, courage and tenacity. As a member of the crew your performance of duty was an important and material contribution to the succes of this mission.” The Guardfish was one of three ships to receive two Presidential Unit Citations.

Main St., Vermontville �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 11, 1986 — Page 12 Vermontville's Grand Ole "Doc Although Vermontville’s former doctor, Dr. Charles S. Snell, passed away more than half a century ago, memories of his kindness and devotion to the practice of medicine live on today. In observance of' Ver­ montville’s sesqui centennial this year, the Maple Valley News presents the following tribute to Doc Snell in ar­ ticles published about him in the former Vermontville Echo: Dr. Charles S. Snell, a Homerphathic physician was a graduate of St. Louis Homerpathic College of Missouri in 1876, having several years of experience of medicine in Whitefield, N.H. before locating in Vermontville. He was Village President several times and a member of the Board of Education a number of years. Dr. Snell was born in Charleston, Vt., in 1857, coming to Vermontville 55 years. (Submitted by Kathryn Boswrich-Houck). The following article, by Carol Sprague, entitled “Old Doc S” was published in the Echo in 1936: When Dr. S. drove up to a farmhouse door in his cutter, faces brightened. Apple­ cheeked, faces brightened. Apple-cheeked, beaming, his carefully brushed suit hidden under a huge buffalo coat, he would stamp in with a word of greeting for each member of the family and special gifts for the children. There he would stay, sometimes the entire night, holding and administering to a gasping child or helping a new little life into the world, with perhaps no other aid than that rendered by the frantic husband. Doctor’s mere presence brought healing and hope to anxietyracked households. Although Old Doc’s body was small, his soul was gigantic. No drift was too deep, no winter’s gale too biting to keep him from answering a call. A born New Englander, he had the sturdy character and determined fighting en­ durance of that pioneer stock. His dignity was tempered with a whimsical humor that never failed. Once, after service, he said to his pastor, a twinkle in his eye. “We listened to a fine sermon today; too bad you couldn’t have heard it!” Such sense of humor, sueh tranquillity of spirit put fresh courage into all of us, old and young. Our town used to get all worked up over homeopathy and allopathy. Dr. S. was of the few who refrained from criticizing those who differed" from him in medicine, and his tolerance extended to politics and religion. True to his own convictions always, he conceded to every man to right to his. City doctors probably wouldn’t consider Dr. S. a success. You see, he wasn’t businesslike. He wouldn’t dun his patients, so bills accumulated year by year. In addition to a little home off Main Street, his practice yielded him only a modest living, “they’ll pay when they get ’round to it,” he would say, if a friend protested. So a while before he died, he called in his friend, the YOUR PRINTING ... is our Business!

I don’t want anyone bothered with these old things after I’m gone.” Whereupon he took the sheaf of bills (the lot represented thousands of dollars) and burned them in the presence of and against the protest of the witness, who is also an officer of the law. He was leaving enough he said, to take care of his responsibilities and to bury him, so the folks who couldn’t pay-well, he’d rather not have them bothered. “Never did like this dunning anyway,” he chuckled. That was our old Doc S. The following poem, “Vermontville’s Grand Old Man” was written by G. Inwood and published in the Vermontville Echo as a salute to Dr. Snell: With faitring step and dimming eyes He wend his weary, feeble way.

Vermontville Village President Sue Villanueva noted a bus will take 40 in­ terested citizens to Muskegon to tour a state prison March 18, followed by the April public meeting where members of the Michigan State Prison Clearance and Location committee would answer questions of local interested citizens. Villanueva noted the council’s prison committee, made up of Lana Oster, Sue Villanueva and Russ Bennett met with William Kime of the state Department of Corrections and James Curran of the Department of Management and Budget to discuss ramifications of having a prison in Ver­ montville. Councilman Russ Bennett proposed the idea to the council at February’s meeting in view of recent concern for Vermontville’s future financial status. Bennett claims the prison could help boost yearly , ., (k o ’ revenue in the village from $350,000 to $3 million an­ nually. According to a report compiled by Oster based on the meeting with the two men, the state organized a regional plan, dividing the state into nine regions for two reasons: to downsize the size of prisons, and to decentralize systems. The report states that according to Kime, the state crime rate is rising, current facilities are overcroweded and the state will need to build several institutions over the next few years. Oster’s report said that the state’s essential criteria requires that the prison be approximately one half hour from the population served; that it must have access to utilities; that 40 acres of faily level land are needed; that accessible roads are needed year-round; and the area must not currently be served by a state prison. Important criteria in­ cludes acquisition cost of land must be reasonable; the area should be buffered from homes and businesses; and the prison should have a low negative impact on en­ vironment. Desirable criteria includes land already owned by state; His Workmanship ■ A group of talented young Christians who tour the midwest under the direction of Kent Bowden for Create Ministries will combine music, drama and chalk art in a performance arts ministry ... *‘ '' ** '’ Sunday, Mar. 16 • 10 & 11 am at Nashville Church of the Nazarene 301 FULLER STREET — NASHVILLE TO VISIT OUR BRIDAL BOUTIQUE Every bride dreams of the perfect wedding . . . a day that she will hold dear all through their lives together.

Under security, the report states that most walk-aways occur at minimum security facilities where arrangements were made during prior visits from outsiders. Also, prisoners wish to escape the village and local areas, the report says, (indicating little chance of residents being in danger in cases of escape); prisoners are usually caught in two days to a week (after escape) and medium security prisons are built with two 12-foot high fences, 16 feet apart with wire on top of the inner fence and up and down outside "fence elec­ tronic detection systems with an alarm. The report says that the state police are used for all internal prison problems and extra off-duty personnel are utilized for security. The report also noted that the state would build a 528bed facility (regional), one or two story masonry building at a cost of $35 million. The facility would be a multi-security institution. The cost would be incurred and paid for completely by the state including expansion of the current village lagoon system if necessary. (The approximate building time would be two years, the report says). The village would receive additional revenue from the state, it says, and each prisoner is considered to be one-half a person to be supported. It states the village would receive sup­ port revenue for the equivalent of one-half the 528 prisoners. One point the report makes, is that the economic benefit to the village is derived from payroll “which amounts to approximately $6.5 million per year.” Oster’s report said that because people spend where they reside, the general rule of thumb is that the village would realize approximately $350,000 per year. In addition, the prison could employ about 250 people, the report said. Of those, 150 to 175 would be local citizens who would have to take civil service exams for certain positions. A corrections officer is required to have 15 hours of college, with eight weeks spent at an academy and eight weeks at the facility after being hired. Other positions include maintenance and dietary, according to the report, which also noted some physical exam would be required depending on the job classification. As planning for the prison developed, the report says, a slide presentation would be made to local government and the public. Other steps in Vermontville man arrested for malicious destruction ofproperty A Vermontville man was arrested Feb. 26 after he apparently entered the village office in VerVer­ montville and allegedly assualted a police office- on that morning. Chris Dibble, 24, of 864 Nut St. in Vermontville was arrested by the Eaton County Sheriff Department on a felony charge of resisting and obstructing an officer, and also faces charges of assault and battery, malicious destruction of property under $100, reckless driving and driving while his license was suspended, second of­ fense. The incident apparently stemmed from a con­ frontation Dibble had with a neighbor, according to Vermontville officer John Stidham who said the two had attempted to talk while M.V.

He noted the two had apparently disagreed, which resulted in a car chase around town and damage to the Dibble vehicle. Dibble then allegedly entered the village office about 7:15 a.m. and became upset because his vehicle had been damaged, at which time he apparently proceeded to cause damage to a window, desk, typewriter and file cabinet. Dibble was arraigned in Eaton County’s 56th District Court on Feb. 26 and a preliminary examination held Friday was adjourned. He was released on his own recognizance. nTTnnnnnTnrnnnnnTTiTffnTffnTTffnnTnnniTiTnnnTnninii Barry County Extension CALENDAR OF EVENTS igniiHmiiimnmimmmiiimmiimiiimimyiuy^yjyy^ It’s a girl!

March 18, 1986 Nashville to request pay back from Townships for Police Protection by Shelly Sulser The Nashville Village Council plans to request reimbursments from Castleton and Maple Grove townships for calls made by the village police depart­ ment to the townships, the council decided Thursday. Acting Police Chief Gene Koetje recommended the action in view of past in­ cidences when the village police were summoned to respond to occurances outside the village limits. These costs for police ser­ vices have not been covered by the townships. “They’ve had a free ride for too long,” Koetje said. “I think it’s time they shared the cost.” Koetje noted that often if a Barry County Sheriff’s Department car cannot respond immediately to a call in the area, the village police car is requested to go to the scene until a county sheriff’s car can arrive. He added that during that time, the village is left without police protection. He also noted the village responds to more calls in Castleton Township than Maple Grove Township. “We have an $81,200 budget...we’re looking to recover costs,” he said. Supervisor of Castleton Township Justin Cooley said Monday that he has negative feelings about the request. “We don’t even have it in our budget to pay for simple road repairs. I can’t see supporting the village police department unless we ask for millage for it,” Cooley said, “and I can’t see that getting passed.” Cooley said that when people in the township need law enforcement assistance, they either call the county sheriff’s department or the state police. “But if they dispatch the village police, it should be between them (the village) and.the county,” he said. Maple Grove Township Supervisor Rod Crothers could not be reached for comment. Koetje could not quote the number of times the village has responded to calls in the township but thought it might range from twice per week to three times per month. He added that one possible way of paying for the police protection would be to pay on a per call basis that he guessed would amount to $25 to $50 per hour. “I feel we should go to the two townships and discuss this with them and not make demands,” said Village President John Hughes. “It just takes some sitting and talking with them to see what they want to do.” Hughes said the council will then decide “are we going to continue to send our car to the townships or are we going to say, ‘the village limits and that’s it?’.” Some members of the council will attend the next regular Castleton Township meeting scheduled for April 2 at 8 p.m. at the township hall located on Main Street in Nashville, to discuss the matter with members of the township board. In other business, the council accepted wage in­ creases for the village Department of Public Works employees and police of­ ficers effective retroactive to March 1. The agreement includes a three percent raise for DPW Superintendent Leon Frith, who presently earns $10.17 per hour; Acting Police Chief Gene Koetje, who earns $10.57 per hour and Police Officer Walter Pincumbe currently earning $9.66. The council also approved a one percent raise for DPW workers Arden Schantz, who currently earns $9.66 per hour; Scott Decker, presently at $8.92 per hour and Larry Corkwell now earning $8.92 per hour. Village Treasurer Lois Elliston received a 15-cent per hour raise, bringing her pay up to $4 per hour. In addition, all full time village employees will receive a one percent in­ crease in retirment benefits. The council also agreed to approve the purchase of a new flashing light bar (visibar) for the police car from Communication Specialists. The cost to the village will be nearly $675, according to Koetje. Approval was also given to ammend the 1986 fiscal year budget accepted at the Feb. 27 meeting of the council. An adjustment of an additional $14,700 of revenue was en­ tered into the budget under general fund receipts and expenditures. Hughes said the money is the amount expected from interest on delinquent taxes. Kermit Lynn Denton II of Phillips Street was accepted by the council to serve on the zoning board of appeals. Hughes noted one vacancy still remains on the zoning board of appeals, and two on the Planning Commission. Bob Harvey was appointed by the council to fill a vacancy on the cemetery board. The council also approved reappointing Leon Frith as village street administrator; voted to pay off a 1964 sewer bond; and approved sending Frith to the Wastewater Administrators Workshop March 27 in Lansing.

One of the original members of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Association, he served as its president and as chairman of the Syrup Festival. (In 1985 his grandaughter, Polly Cook, served as festival queen.)

For his community ser­ vice, Reinhart was given a Michigan Minute Man Award, an honor which is given to ten people a year during Michigan Week. He was a member of the First Congregational Church of Vermontville, where he served as a trustee, and was a life member of the Masonic Lodge of Vermontville.

Also at the site was John Aerts, resident engineer from the Michigan Department of Transportation. Ballou said the MDT approved pproved the plans, and work should begin by the middle of June. 6 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 18, 1986 — Page 2 Increased direction and expectation’ critical needs by Shelly Sulser There is a necessity for increased direction and expectation at all school levels, say members of the Maple Valley Board of Education-appointed Citizens Advisory Com­ mittee’s curriculum sub­ committee. The committee was ap­ pointed by the school board in November to study areas of school operation such as finance, curriculum and support services, and met with the board Feb. 24 to report its findings. Sue Bahs, chairperson of the curriculum sub­ committee, began by thanking the school board for establishing and supporting the citizens advisory com­ mittee. “Based on our current economic situation, we commend our ad­ ministrators and teachers for the curriculum we have and we applaud the dedication of our teaching staff and the high individual achievement of many Maple Valley students,” the sub­ committee states in its report overview. The committee examined current and long range curriculum needs and “each person consulted expressed concern for problems they see at Maple Valley,” the report states. Of a number of needs that surfaced during the twomonth study period by the committee, the most critical need was found to have been the necessity for increased direction and expectation at all school levels, starting at the top and filtering down. “Our ideal is that each child at Maple Valley have the opportunity to develop to his or her greatest educational and emotional potential,” states the committee report. “We recommend pursuing this ideal by establishing specific Maple Valley goals in the following areas: achieve North Central Ac­ creditation; upgrade requirements in each sub­ ject; establish a program evaluation system by departments and grades (all school departments); provide increased testing for minimal grade level skills with recommendations for future course selection and increase availability of trained counseling staff for elementary through high school. “These specific goals can only be achieved through staff development and enrichment with special emphasis on curriculum management, enhancement, and expansion. “We charge the school board with the responsibility to carefully consider the recommendations of the sub­ committee and to take decisive action in establishing a long range curriculum program for Maple Valley Schools,” states the report. The three sub-committees of the citizen advisory committee outlined each recommendation for the schools by categorizing them as ““critical, critical,”” “in­ termediate” and “long range.” Listed here will be the critical needs only: At the elementary level in the Maple Valley School District, the first critical need is to have one full-time elementary counselor to meet student needs and to help teachers know how to better work with specific students. Reinstate vocal music at the elementary level is another need listed, because “special skills are needed to teach vocal music and music appreciation. This individual (music teacher) could also help with vocal music at the jr.-sr. high,” according to the committee. Spring is just around the Corner 2 Days ’til Spring! "The Mirrors Image" MiiiiiOLz iiuaae.. Hairstylist for Men, Women and Children 111 N. MAIN, NASHVILLE 852-9192 — CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT — The committee ilso found that the reinsta ement of elementary arifis also desirable, als alsop-because special skills are needed. In addition, the rein­ statement of Weekly Readers and the purchase of copy machines are also critical needs of the elementary buildings. “Current copies are almost impossible to read,” says the report “Students with specific reading problems have difficulty with the blue ink copies we use at this time.” Of needs at the junior high school, a half-time counselor was found to be the most critical, to meet students’ needs and to help teachers know how to better work with specific students. The committee also felt the counselor would serve to develop career planning programs for students. High level courses should to be offered to capable junior high students in math, science, English and social studies to challenge students at their highest apptitude levels. * The committee feels the high school should purchase individual study labs for Spanish in and IV classes and for possible use by other students needing in­ dividualized training. The committees’ rationale for that is that Spanish III and IV students are currently taking classes with Spanish I students. The labs would offer in­ dividualized attention and free teacher time for first year students. This would require careful con­ sideration to make certain this is the most cost effective solution to the problem. If labs are cost effective they could be used to offer tutorial help in other subject areas, according to the committee report. The committee also feels that maintaining six-hour days with instructors teaching five ofsix-hours is a crucial need, and that teachers should receive additional compensation when required to teach sixhours in certain subject areas. The hiring of aids for study hall and lunch room duty to free teachers for additional teaching time is also felt to be critical at the high school. Other critical needs in­ clude: —Providing individual scheduling at the junior­ senior high through pur­ chase of an office computer and software programs to How do you get premium home- owner’s insurance at a discount? No problem. Auto-Owners Homeowner Policy discounts do just that. There are a number of premium discounts you might qualify for, and they could reduce your costs by as much as 40 percent!

Rationale: to free time for high school counselor and enable junior high students to schedule classes where they have special aptitudes or needs. — Working toward achieving North Central Accreditation. Rationale: “We must begin immediately to reinstate programs to work toward this goal,” states the report. —Reinstating department heads at the junior-senior high level to establish a curriculum management board to assist curriculum coordinator with planning and implementation of programs. —Reinstating chemistry and physics to be offered every year at the high school level. Rationale: to coor­ dinate with existing math programs and to make all students have the op­ portunity to take both classes. —Acquiring additional scientific Rationale: equipment. curriculum coordinator and department head would investigate resources from private sector first to upgrade much at MV Schools needed materials. On a districtwide basis, a list of critical needs includes the addition of a one-half time position for curriculum coordinator that could be combined with junior high counselor; and the restablishment of a van­ dalism fund. Another necessity the committee feels crucial is a board-appointed committee made up of administrators, and teachers parent volunteers to make recommendations regarding the current school at­ tendance policy. In addition, the committee feels the teacher evaluation process should be streamlined and a program should be developed to evaluate ad­ ministrators based on pre­ set board goals. Other critical need recommendations include: —Improve library supplies at buildings through planned upgrading of books and resource material; —Reinstate field trips as part of school curriculum at all levels; —Establish a resource committee chaired by the curriculum coordinator to liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinlinin' Obituaries 1111111111H111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111H11111111111111 Orville G.

Tuesday, March 18, 1986 — Page Memories of the past.. 4 by Susan Hinckley Playtime was creative challenge for turn-of-the century children At least a fair number of our readers can recall what it was to be a child growing up circa-1900. Things were markedly different from today. Life was simpler then, though less convenient, and moved at a more leisurely pace. Childhood joys also were simpler; there were no TVs, computers, video games, “Barbie” dolls or other fancy store-bought toys. Playthings were usually homemade, and turn-of-thecentury children faced a continuous creative challenge as they sought and found ways to turn common household items into hours of homespun entertainment. Necessity was indeed the “mother of invention” to a circa-1900 child. Aside from playtime, youngsters of that era had chores generally more demanding than duties assigned to children today. Children circa-1900 also learned to live under harsh conditions: they usually slept in unheated bedrooms, were obliged to use privies before the days of indoor plumbing, walked long distances to attend school in all kinds of weather, and in general were toughened by the pre-auto, pre-appliance generation in which they grew up. In addition, they had to survive many deadly childhood disease that no longer are a threat. From the Len Feighner photo collection exhibited iin the Michigan and Local History Room at Nashville’s Putnam Public Library we have selected a half-dozen charming child photos from that era. Each depicts a nostalgic scene to which we hope many of our readers can relate. Also, younger readers may appreciate a glimpse of how things were “back then.” All of the pictures are undated and unidentified but are believed to be closely connected to the family of Len Feighner, publisher of The Nashville News from 1888 to 1928, or to his wife Stella, whose father, Lyman J. Wilson, was an early Nashville grocer. The Feighners, married in 1885, had one daughter, Vada. Making mud pies? If so,, this early scene is one that is repeated even today. In the days before fancy store-bought toys were so available, youngsters learned to entertain themselves with household articles at hand. For them, necessity truly was the "mother of invention." Playtime offered a creative challenge. The boardwalks of Nashville? Most likely, as there were a good number of wooden walks in town even into the early 1900s. (The first concrete walk was laid in 1881 with more than a little skepticism.) A circa-1900 child scampering to town clutching a hard-earned penny had to be very careful not to drop the coin on a wooden walk, where it could quickly slide to oblivion between the cracks. Pets especially dogs, were an integral part of circa-1900 families, just as they are today. In those days it was quite common to include the family canine in home photos as well as those taken at a photography studio, as seen in this undated picture. Dogs were close companions to children in the time when rural distances limited the number of outside playmates. Dogs also served as sentinels and "protectors." Wearing leather cap and plaid "dress," this young lad shows off a new wire-wheeled tricycle. (One assumes the bike was his, rather than a studio prop, even though the photo was taken by a professional.) His outfit is typical of clothing worn by very young boys in the late 19th century, and this picture may well date back to the 1880s. Bikes undoubtedly were a luxury to Nashville area children of that era. ATTENTION »c»"i Bernie & Richard I A child's work is never done! This exhausted young mother rocking her dolly seems to be resting after a long, hard day of housework. Although actual cir cir-­ cumstances of the photo are unknown, it is true that youngsters of that era handled chores generally more demanding than those assigned to children today. They also were toughened by harsher living conditions. Like father, like son? The relationship of the subjects in this photo is unknown but the young lad seems to attempt a stance similar to the man. Circa-1900 children (and earlier) seemed more inclined to seek adult role models and were generally taught great respect of their elders. Knee pants worn by the boy were typical attire until the male youth reached his early teens and "graduated" to long trousers. Thanks for “bearing” with us and [ for all you did to make the carnival a “beary” big success. _____ /-Qve ...

He added that his father, Al, and brother Dan plan to help hinv make the planned architechtural changes. The hardware store, located at 131 S.

Board considering curriculum coordinator position by Shelly Sulser The Maple Valley Board of Education Monday tabled until March 24 a recom­ mendation of the citizen advisory committee to create a new position of curriculum coordinator for the school district. Although the board ap­ pointed committee had suggested in its printed report that the position be a half time post possibly combined with the job of junior high counselor, Superintendent Carroll Wolff thought it best the job not be combined with a teaching or counseling position, but rather be designated as an administrative post. Wolff presented two proposals concerning the matter to the board at its March 10 regular meeting: The first proposal states the curriculum coordinator would be full time, not only handling curriculum, but also serving as . special education coordinator, working with federal programs and grants and assisting with negotiations and public relations. This would be considered an administrative post. “This arrangement would provide an individual ad­ ditional time to work with curriculum and related duties as presented in the citizens’ advisory committee report,” states Wolffs first “Such proposal. arrangement would also allow each elementary principal additional time to work more directly with the instructional program.” Wolffnoted this plan would also keep one full time principal at Fuller Street and Kellogg Elementary Schools in Nashville and one full time principal at Maplewood Elementary in Vermontville. Wolff’s second proposal involves retaining the same number of administrators (five) as during the 1985-86 school year with reassign­ ment of administrative responsibilities of the two elementary principals. The curriculum coordinator would work half time in that capacity, and also supervise Kellogg Elementary School (thereby combining the job of elementary principal and curriculum coordinator). The same individual would also coordinate special education and federal LajjvWtiiotnc ^T-SHIRT KNITS............ $069 A YD $>199 from YD from 60” PASTEL FLORAL PRINTS & 60” POPLIN iin S& , 15 COLORS................ from ^3 YD Great for slacks, skirts, vests, etc. recruitment and in­ terviewing teaching per­ sonnel and working with administrators in developing a building administrator evaluation system. The individual would also assist the superintendent in the evaluation of other ad­ ministrators. Wolff says the individual would also be responsible for making general presen­ tations to the board of education regarding curriculum changes, general instructional program, and progress in program in cooperation with professional staff members; and making recom­ mendations to superin­ tendent of programs and operational procedures recommended by building principals. Further consideration for the position will be given by the board at a special board meeting to be held March 24. In other business, the board approved a recom­ mendation by Maplewood Elementary School Prin­ cipal Bill Christensen for qualifications desired for a “Young Fives” instructor. “We need for this (developmental kin­ dergarten) program someone that has had either experience or training in working with young children,” Christensen said. “We need to put a person in place for the next school year.” Approved instructor qualifications alifications include: —At least one year of successful teaching ex­ perience at grade one, kindergarten, develop­ kindergarten, pre­ school, or nursery school; mental Maple Valley youth wins essay contest 218 E.

All students 1-12 grades were encouraged to enter. The topic this month was: “What is True Love? How Can I Show True Love?” The winner was 12-year-old Kim Tutt with this winning essay: “True love is showing someone that you care. You can show true love by telling someone you love them. But once you’ve told them that you love them, prove it, show them that you love them. If you love your dad, help him with something. If you love your mom, help her do the dishes. If you love your brother or sister, don’t fight with them. Love Does and Love Doesn’t First Corinthians 13:4 says, ‘Charity suffereth long, and is kind: charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up! There are a lot more examples of love in First Corinthians 13. God’s Love God’s love is perfect and —At least three semester hours of college credits concentrating on the teaching of kindergarten age children or younger children; —And if there are no teachers available that meet one of the above criteria from the present staff or available to hire, a teacher could be assigned who has had successful student teaching experience with first grade children or younger. Christensen first proposed the “Young Fives” developmental kindergarten class last December to provide more individualized attention for five-year-olds from Nashville and Ver­ montville who are not quite ready to enter the "egular kindergarten class. The board approved the proposal in January, and the class will begin in the fall. In other business, the board: —Accepted a letter of resignation from high school agriculture-agribusiness teacher Rona Szydzik ef­ fective June 6, 1986. Szydzik stated in her letter she is resigning due to pregnancy. “Child rearing is an im­ portant full time respon­ sibility,” she stated. —Appointed Kris and Dave Stairs of Vermontville as Maple Valley represen­ tatives to the Parent Ad- visory Committee for special education in the in­ termediate school district. —Approved the second reading, with minor changes, of the new evaluation criteria form for the superintendent of schools. Board members will be completing the evaluation forms for presentation at a future meeting. —Approved spring coaching positions as recommended by Larry Lenz, Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School athletic director.

How do W v Sftf v W&^J &S& r\ •^'ixS & h r§ r§^ Jjf Jsjfe ^5*& 5& Because so many residents of Vermontville have ex­ pressed concerned about the future financial status of the village and have been unable to recommend any concrete anwsers to the problem, one village council member has suggested that maybe the building of a medium security state prison in or near the village would be one valid solution. The coun­ cilman, Russ Bennett, contends the prison would provide jobs for local citizens, draw business to the village, and generate as much as $3 million in revenue which would be utilized in repairing the local roads, etc. The Maple Valley News asked some area residents what their feelings are on the matter: New Arts Council hopes for good attendance at Hastings Pop Concert by G.R. Symphony Members of the newly formed Thornapple Arts Council of Barry County are hoping Nashville and Ver­ montville area residents and others will support its very first project by attending this Saturday’s pops concert in Hastings. The evening is expected to be fun and entertaining while featuring music with an Irish flair, performed by the 75piece Grand Rapids Sym­ phony. Billed as a St. Patrick’s Pops Concert, the event starts at 8 p.m. (Saturday, March 22) and will be held in the Hastings High School gymnasium. The symphony will play music ranging from selec­ tions from “On a Clear Day” to McNamara’s Band.” To encourage attendance and augment its goal of enriching the lives of area residents, the council is offering general admission tickets for only $4 per adult and $2.50 each for senior citizens and students. Tickets may be purchased at the door on the night of the event or in advance at the Barry Intermediate School District office, 202 S.

The meeting will be held at The Country Mill, 4648 Otto Rd., Charlotte on Sunday, March 23, starting at 1:30 p.m. According to County Extension Director Allen Krizek, pruning and trim­ ming of young fruit trees is one of the important steps to sustained fruit production. Young non-bearing fruit trees are pruned to give them desired form and to develop a strong framework that will support the fruit in later years. The pruning of mature trees will also be demonstrated.

Although a capacity bus load of 40 people were allowed to travel to Muskegon for the tour, only 22 participated. a “It was very enlightening trip,” said councilman Russ Bennett, who proposed the building of a similar facility in Ver­ montville. “I was disap­ pointed that the people that talk down on the project '86 Syrup Festival schedule announced The Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Corporation has announced its schedule for the 46th annual festival that will take place April 25, 26 and 27. A wide variety of activities highlight this year’s syrup celebration, a tradition that began in 1940 after a con­ versation in a local bar­ bershop.

Bennett, along with Elsie Tanner, Peggy Byington, Lana Oster, Deana Hampton and a number of others felt the facility reminded them of a college campus. “Before I went, I hadn’t made any decision about it, I was just open about it,” Tanner said. “I thought it was great. It wasn’t like the prisons you see on TV. I expected bars, and prisoners sitting in cells but this was like a college campus,” she said. She said the prisoners, or “residents” as they prefer to be called, dress in regular attire (not striped suits), have their own rooms, and some actually served as tour guides. One told the Ver­ montville visitors he was serving a 15 to 40 year sentence for second degree murder. Nonetheless, the 10persons who made the trip and talked to the Maple Valley News said they felt safe. Oster added that although the prison looks like a college campus and prisoners are allowed to move freely, there are fences around the ex­ terior of the building, and high level security is noticable. “Everywhere you looked there were guards,” she said, adding the 12-year-old facility was slightly over­ crowded. Noting that most of the prisoners attend classes, she said the schooling serves to rehabilitate the prisoners and prepare them for life in the world for when they are released. “Their philosophy is that ‘an idle prisoner is a dangerous prisoner,’ Oster noted. She added the prison tourists ate lunch with their “resident” tour guides, and that “residents” actually do food .preparation. Oster described the prison as more of a “rehabilitation center.” “I was very impressed,” she said. “They’re providing an environment comparable to the outside world it’s a very constructive ap- Due to circum­ stances beyond our control there will not be an Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by Carl’s Super Market and the Nashville Chamber. 22 Vermontville residents traveled to the Muskegon state prison last Tuesday to tour the facility. proach.” Bennett added that “What they’re doing is rehabilitation as opposed to stringent punishment.” He also noted that “only one person (who went on the trip) had any ill feelings about locating a prison in Vermontville and he was against it because of the people it would bring to the community.” Sharon White said “Before we (she and her husband, Blane) went we were dead set against it because of the prisoners. We worried about them escaping. I think everyone feels that way.” Concerning the trip, White said “we toured it (the Muskegon prison), we talked to some of the prisoners...we both enjoyed it. But as far as putting one here, we’re not against the prison itself but what would come with it...” White said she would prefer a small prison be built that employed local residents but not one that would bring people to Vermontville from out of town. “It’s just a small community and we’d like to keep it that way.” Now that some community members have had a chance to view the facility, Bennett said, “I think the main thing we have to do now is con­ vince the rest of the com­ munity and the state.” He said the state seems interested in putting a prison in Vermontville because “they have to find places to put them,” but, “they haven’t given us any hard answers yet. They said they would come and give a public presentation.” At the March 6 meeting of the Vermontville council, Village President Sue Villanueva noted a public meeting would be scheduled for a date in April for the community to meet with members of the state department of corrections, to ask questions. That date has not yet been set. Newly elected council member Joe Ann Nehmer, who also attended the tour, indicated the proper procedure for putting a prison in Vermontville is not being followed. “They (the council) are Janice Bailey and Bill Bailey head for a bus that took 22 Vermontville residents on a tour of a state prison facility in Muskegon last week. putting the cart before the horse,” she said “The council has to do a feasibility study or the state has to do a feasibility study.” She also noted the prison did look like a college campus, “which I ex­ pected.” However, Rev. Glen Litch­ field, who attended the prison tour last week, said he is in favor of having a prison in Vermontville, “possibly for different reasons than everyone else,” he said. “As a minister of Jesus Christ, I would like to see us with an opportunity to minister to people who are in need,” Litchfield added. He also noted he believes the theory that a prison in Vermontville would benefit the community by providing revenue that would in turn get the roads repaired. Prison tourist Peggy Byington feels that Ver­ montville has no other way of growing. “We’re not going to get the factories in here so if we have a prison, that’s fine with me,” she said. M.V.

The letters stood for the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which was enacted by Congress in the first term of Franklin Roosevelt to aid farmers, and agriculture in general, during those depression ridden years. Over the years we became friends and this friendship grew. I have always valued this friendship and now it is a treasured memory.

For nearly a years she has been hospitalized. At the onset it was in Lila Post in Battle Creek where she once worked as a nurse. For many months she has been in the Barry County Medical Care Facility. During all of these anxious days, weeks and months, Reinhart has visited her every day and oft times twice regardless of the weather. Much of the time, if not most, Polly has not been able to show any visible sign of his presence, yet, day after day, he went to sit beside her! “Till death do us How can you guarantee the replacement of your home?

Physically, he grew more and more weary from the ordeal even though he would scarce admit it. But his love for his mate never tired or got weary. Now, he is gone, taken suddenly from our midst. His loss to his grieving family cannot be measured in earthly terms. It can only be said that he leaves them a heritage and a beautiful memory beyond compare. Friends and neighbors will never forget him nor will the community that he served so well. As for me, I along with others, have lost a personal friend and I shall never forget! Nor will the others.

Baldwin, governor of Michigan. In observance of that milestone we have excerpted three letters published in past years by The Nashville News outlining some of the history and humor surrounding the formation of the village. The letter writes were early residents of the general area, and in one case the son of a Nashville pioneer. The following letter appeared in the Nashville News on December 18, 1903, and was written by Em­ manuel J. Feighner, whose parents, the Henry Feighners, built the first frame house in Nashville. E.J. grew up to become the village’s first professional photographer. “There are a few of our people who remember Nash­ ville in an early day and a few of them remember many interesting incidents which occurred years ago. It seems but yesterday that where the village now stands was a vast wilderness and wild animals of many kinds cherished favorite haunts where now stands the buildings of the village. “In the fall of 1854 our family built a board house near where George Morgan now resides. It was the first board house built where Nashville is located. At the time it was built there was a log house near where the pump house is and a saw mill on the north side of the river, the mill being built before we came; the log house was occupied by Charles Hanchett. These were all the buildings in the place at the time. “Charles Hanchett and family were our only neighbors...and we had to go to school at the John Feighner house. “At that time there was no clear land south of the river where the main portion of the town is now located. I well remember that year of seeing quite a number of Indians passing our house, some riding ponies and some on foot. It was a strange sight to our folks who had never seen an Indian before. “About that time there was an Indian shanty on the bank of the river, south of where Hiram Coe now resides, occupied by an Indian named John Bull and his squaw. My mother and Mrs. Hanchett have been there together and had dinner with the Indians in their shanty. About the year of 18571 saw a flock of about two hundred wild turkeys in our field near our house on the Coe farm where we moved to in 1855. “I also remember that before the village of Nash- Indians, a strange sight to our folks," were frequently sighted in this area by young E. J. Feighner and his family when they settled in 1854 near the presentday Putnam Park area (in background, near watertower in this 1905 photo). In a 1903 letter to The Nashville News, Feighner recalled that a log house sat where the pump house (smokestack right of center) sits. Indians speared fish from canoes below the dam, a crude barrier then slightly upstream from the one seen here. Passenger cars in this circa-1909 photo at Nashville's Michigan Central station are a far cry from the first ones that carried Nashville folks on the maiden run of Grand River Valley RR 40 years earlier. Cars then were nothing more than flatbeds outfitted with ordinary benches and trimmed with bushes for shade, remembered C.G. Brundige in a 1922 letter to The Nashville News. The town was "wild and wooly," he recalled, during construction of the line in the late 1860s. Dell Squires of Nashville was the "best story-teller in the barber business, according to a 1953 letter to The News from V.C.R. Simmons recalling several early local residents. Squires later moved to Traverse City and opened this shop, which also offered patrons bath accommodations, typical of barbershops of that day. Squires, called "small of stature" by Simmons, may be one of the men looking out of the window in this undated photo. Several other Nashville folks also migrated to Traverse City. ville was settled and before the (rail) road was surveyed through here we used to call the place ‘Forest City.’ About the year 1854 there was a nice pinery of about three acres on the south bank of the river east of the Ad­ vent church; some of the pine stumps can be seen there at the present time. (Note: The writer speaks here of an area along present-day Reed Street eastward from about Phillips Street.) ...“When we first came here fish were very plantiful. I have speared 75 pickerel in a day near the dam in the river. Have seen the Indians in their canoes below the dam spearing fish. They never speared from the bank of the river, but always from their canoes, and generally went for the largest fish. “I well remember what a time we had those days trying to smudge out the mosquitoes and how we finally got relief as soon as we could make hay and put it in our logbarn and sleep on the hay, as the mosquitoes did not like the hay and would not trouble us. We knew nothing about neeting those days. “About that time we frequently saw Charles Hancett get into his boat at night and with a light made of fine pine well dried, sail down the river below the dam to shoot deer, as they always went into water in summer to keep off mosquitoes, and he generally got a deer when he went. “What a time we used to have in the fall gathering beechnuts. We removed the leaves and got them almost a handful at a time, and hogs would live all winter on the beechnuts acorns and (sometimes called shack). Sometimes the neighbors would kill wild hogs and eat them, as there were a great many in those day. I never liked them as the meat was rather oily from eating beechnuts. Sometimes the neighbors would catch a wild hog and try to fatten it on corn, but never made a success of it, aS they were too wild to fatten well. “We don’t have any snow now like we had in an early day when the country was about all woods. Have seen snow fall on the 1st of November and stay till the 4th day of April and was most ofthe time between two and three feet deep on the level. “On the 7th of April, 1869, we had the first village election...There was quite an exciting time at the election on account of some (non­ local) men voting that worked on the railroad. Hoping the above may in­ terest some of the younger people of the village, I am, Yours truly, E.J. Feighner Hie next letter, written in 1922, came as a response to a local history quiz published in The Nashville News by editor-publisher Len W. Feighner. “I was but a small lad when the railroad was built into what is now Nashville but there were many events that made a lasting im­ pression on my memory. “The ‘Black Crook,” the locomotive used in con­ structing the (rail) road was a rickety old contraption ready for the junk yards. It squirted steam and water from every seam and joint and the drivers wobbled some. The ‘Mayflower’ hauled the first train carrying passengers through Nashville. (Note: Regular service through Nashville on the newly-completed Grand River Valley line was established in January 1869.) “It was an excursion run from Jackson to Thornapple Lake, and my older brother and I were part of the large crowd that got on at Nash­ ville. The train consisted of flat cars trimmed with green bushes, making a shady arbor, and the seats were ordinary benches. Most of the passengers got off at the lake but we rode on to Hastings, which at that time was the end ofthe line. There the locomotive was run onto a turntable and the engineer and fireman took hold of a lever and turned the locomotive head end east. Our speed was not great: a horse and buggy kept up with us about half the way home. “During the time of the railroad’s construction the little hamlet of Nashville was wild and wooly. Whiskey was plentiful and it was a dull day or night when there was not a fight or two or when you could not find a man with one eye adorned with a chunk of beefsteak. Quite a contrast to the quite, peaceful Nashville of today. C.G. Brundige The final letter we selected appeared in The News on Sept. 3, 1953: “Recently a friend of mine sent me a copy of your paper and I read your nice writeup of C.O. (Ab) Mason, and it brought back to me many memories of the people who had contributed much in the past to Nashville history. “I thought of Orno Strong who was an early editor of the News, and then of Len Feighner, who came later. (Note: Strong founded the paper in 1873 and sold it in 1888 to employee Feighner.) ...“Al and Pat (Frank) Weber were early printers under ‘Fike’ (Len) and they both contributed their time in the newspaper field. “I attended a ball game in Nashville many years ago when Al Weber was the catcher, Claude Hough the pitcher, and Pat Weber was on first base, and in those days Nashville had a good ball team. “Claude was the son of C.A. (Chris) Hough, who came to Nashville from Woodland. C.A. was from the old wagon factory Woodland in the 1870s, and he became one of the early (vice) presidents of the Farmers & Merchants Bank of Nash­ ville. “Claude Hough went down to Paducah, Ky., and married a beautiful southern girl there. Both he and his father migrated later on to a western state, Kansas, I think. “Then there were the Wolcott brothers who became balloonists and parachute jumpers in the late 1880s, and made Nash­ ville known throughout the Americas. “Frank Helm was a famous musician and guitar builder who later went to Traverse City. Duane Brown and wife Rhoda were well and favorably known and their son L.Z., who was later a Curduroy tire manufac­ turer in Grand Rapids, died recently. Both L.Z. Brown and Charlie Helm had a desire to become balloonists under the tutorship of the Wolcotts, but a jump from one of the ascensions in Caracas, Venezuela, in which one of the Wolcott boys went to the hospital in New York for some six months rebuilding, rather changed their minds and they became interested in other lines. “Then there was A. (Dell) Squires, a barber, small of stature, who was the best story-teller in the barber business, who later migrated to Traverse City. “I remember well the rally that was held in Nashville Continued on next page— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, March 25, 1986 — Page 5 Vermontville's Yesteryears >-« *s s£ *£2\s *»:s *S S *>««««. f*J ?'■ *? > ?*|S ?*|S Frank Bailey was a tin­ smith and he made all of the miniatures displayed in the Vermontville Museum. He wrote the following article for a local Maple Syrup Festival brochure printed for the Festival that was held April 4, 1942. History of Vermont­ ville, MI Syrup and Sugar Equipment and Methods As told by Mr. Frank Bailey, age 90 years. The general method of transforming maple sap into syrup and sugar has changed little in the time since the Indian used this method of obtaining his sweetening. The sap is still obtained by tapping the maple tree and collecting the sap in buckets and then heating this until the excess water has been driven off leaving a thick brown syrup. The only changes are in the equip­ ment used and in some of the processes used in carrying out these steps. The method of tapping used by the Indian resulted in a great loss of sap. He cut a V shaped slash on the side of the maple tree and then had a trough at the bottom of the V which led to a bucket that had been hewn from a split log. Often the Indians F- lespecially enjoyed one past syrup festival because it fell on his 90th birthday. Bailey, a carpenter, is shown with several miniatures he made to illustrate the development of maple sugar methods. let the sap freeze so that much of the water was formed into ice, thus reducing the amount of sap JFrtL containing the sugar.

When the first settlers arrived here, they also collected the sap in wooden buckets as the Indians, but they boiled it in large iron kettles. These kettles were either suspended by chains or held off the ground with stones. Later pans were used in boiling the sap. Mr. Bailey remembers that when he came here in 1871 and the tinsmith’s trade, he made the first black sheet iron pans used in this part of the country. The outfit was made up of two units; a front pan that was three feet by five feet and a back pan that was three feet by seven feet. The first year that he was here he made just a few to see how the farmers would like them. They were so well received that after that year he made a great number of .them from twenty gauge black sheet iron which had been made in Pittsburgh. He has made as many as seventy-five. Mot of them were made in the winter long before the sugar season had rolled around. Mr. Bailey remembers that he made one of the largest outfits around here for Wilbur Baker in 1888. It was com­ posed of two pans 6’xl2’x8” from twenty gauge sheet iron. However this outfit proved syrup was boiled into sugar in small pans and then poured into four pound cakes which brought three or four cents a pound. Most of it was shipped out in wagons or freight cars stacked up like bricks. Oftentimes during the sugar season, outsiders established themselves in the park and traded their goods for sugar. There has been some development in the kind of spiles used. At first some made a hole with a two inch auger a half inch deep wiht an iron plate beneath to convey the sap to the con­ tainer. Later a spile which was an inch in diameter and eight inches long was made from an elder branch that had the pitch removed. Afterwards a tin spout an inch in diameter and four inches long was used. Then the Eureka spile was used, onto which the buckets could be hung. The style of buckets has changed litte. The first buckets were made of wood staves bound with iron or wooden hoops. The first metal buckets were made by hand. Mr. Bailey made tin buckets for a great number of years after 1872. He made more than ten thousand buckets in about twenty-four years. Now they are often manufactured from galvanized metal and a cover is used on the buckets in many places to keep the foreign matter out. The first skimmer that was used was a small branch with brush on the end. This would collect the scum. Mr. Bailey made his first skimmer using a two quart basin with a wooden handle. He also made the first square dipper which was about six inches square and four inches deep and had a wooden handle attached. It was also Mr. Bailey’s duty as a tinsmith to manufacture the containers for the finished product. In one winter he was able to make more than four thousand round gallon cans with the help of his wife.

It would boil the sap all right, but it was difficult to remove and empty the pans when the syrup had finished boiling. Later a flat-bottom evaporator was used. This had dividers running cross­ wise and were so arranged so that the sap would have to flow cross-wise of the pan, first to the left and then back to the right until it had covered the whole distance from one end of the pan to the other. Today the evaporators contain flues which provide more boiling space and the sort of path taken by the flowing sap depends upon the make of evaportor. The later evaporators were made of English tin, galvanized iron, and a few of copper. The best tin is sheet iron dipped in molten tin, while galvanized iron is sheet iron dipped in molten zinc.

Younsters who will be age five by December 1, were tested at both Fuller and Maplewood schools on gross and fine motor skills, con­ cepts such as sorting blocks, and communication skills, using the DIAL method. The DIAL (Developmental Indicators for the Assessment of Learning) is a screening process used to evaluate and assess the child’s skill upon entering school. The schools felt that by using this method, “we may better plan and develop a worthwhile sound, Brandon Garvey is tested on his fine motor skills at Fuller School Thursday. educational program which will be aimed at and planned in accordance with your child’s specific strengths and weaknesses. Dial is designed as a relaxed early childhood experience,” according to information distributed at the school. During the screening, children move through four testing stations completing a series of seven simple tasks in each of the four major skill areas. In the gross motor ac­ tivities, an area is provided for physical activity such as: hop scotch, jump rope, etc. Fine motor involves matching, building, cutting, copying, etc. Concepts include activities in sorting blocks and classifying; counting, positioning, etc. Communication testing involves articulating, naming nouns and verbs, coping, etc. “It was a pretty good turn­ out,” said Fuller kin­ dergarten teacher Pam Hunt. “I think it was higher than usual.” Hunt said that children who do not test well will be retested using a different, more involved set of tests, known as the “Gesell Tests.” She noted after studying the results of the tests, about 40 will need to be tested again.

In order to update and expand the maple syrup production, Kellogg Forest personel went to the woods and started selecting trees. It was the first step in building a new log sugar house. They started choosing the 121 trees last September: 13 red pine, 19 Scotch pine, 13 Austrian pine, 19 European larch, 12 Norway Spruce, 15 white pine and 30 tulip trees. These trees have been growing at Kellogg Forest for 40 to 45 years and have an estimated value of $1000. Seven different types of trees were selected not only for their varied attributes, but also to study how the different woods will weather. The four main walls are made from red, Scotch and Austrian pines and European larch. The larch was used on the south side since it is the most resistant to rot. Tulip trees were used for the rafters because it is one of the straightest growing hardwoods. The woodshed is made from Norway spruce and the roof boards of white pine. “The experts tell these trees will all shrink and dry at the same rate,” says Tom Stadt, manager of MSU’s Kellogg Forest. This is important because each wall is made from a different species. The log house is being constructed by Kellogg Forest laborers with help from Kevin Casey of Hastings who is providing the milling saw and some technical assistance.

Corner notches are custom fit to the log below with the use ofa “scribe.” This tool is a divider with a point on one end and a pencil on the other. The pencil marks the upper log with the lower log’s contour as the pointed end is moved along the lower log. A chain saw is used to rough out the notch, and it is finished with a hand gouge and mallet. “Then we roll the log into place and thunk! It fits perfectly,” says Stadt. “It’s going to be a work of art when we’re finished.” Along with the new log sugar house, Kellogg Forest has doubled its evaporating capacity, expanded to an all tubing sap collection system, Check our Complete Easter Displays of — • Candy Stuffed Toys Baskets • Novelties, Etc.

A 1984 Vermont study determined it costs large producers $15.93 to produce a gallon of syrup. “The object is to increase the quality of the syrup while decreasing the cost,” says Stadt. It can take 40-50 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup, although the ratio can be as high as 80 to 1 or as low as 25 to 1. It all depends on the sugar content of the sap. Many factors can in­ fluence the sugar content, such as tree size, stress, and growing conditions. Factors which are linked to sugar content include the amount of rain in the preceeding fall (the dryer the autumn, the less sugar and sap produced), the amount of fall color (bright colors usually mean a higher sugar con­ tent), and the amount of leaf surface per tree (big, opengrown street trees are the best producers because they produce more sap with a higher sugar content). “This fall was one of the wettest I’ve seen in a long time, and one of the most brilliant falls I’ve seen at Kellogg Forest,” Stadt said. That, along with the early cold winter all point toward high quality sap. The January thaw should not make too much difference, so long as the cold returns and stays through mid to late February. lllllllllllllliiiiilllllliiililllllllliiiiimmmmiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Tues., April 1 - 7:30 p.m. 4-H Sheep Workshop, Kardel Hall, Fairgrounds, Charlotte.

March 25, 1986 — Page 9 Vaccine now available A new vaccine to help protect against the most common, life-threatening bacterial diseases of young children is now available. This new vaccine im­ munizes against diseases caused by the germ com­ monly known as “HIB.” HIB diseases affect about one child in 200 before the age of five years. HIB diseases, which include spinal meningitis, are serious. Many result in hospitalizations, and up to 10 percent can be fatal. In clinical studies, HIB vaccine was 90 percent effective in two to six year-old children. The United States Public Hastings mens softball league to organize An organizational meeting for the Hastings Mens Soft­ ball League will be held Wednesday, April 2 at 7:30 p.m. in room 182 of the Hastings Junior High. Anyone wishing to have a team in the Hastings league must have a representative at the meeting. Anyone having any questions can call Jack Reynolds at 945­ 4394. Health Service recommends this new vaccine for all children once they have reached 24-months of age. Because of their increased risk, children 18-23 months old who attend day care should also be considered for vaccination, although the vaccine is less likely to be as effective in this age group and will need to be repeated after two years of age. Please call your physician or local health department for more information. The Barry-Eaton District Health Department may be reached at Charlotte 543-2430 or 485­ 7110 or Hastings 945-9516.

If you are interested in the position please submit your name at Nashville Village Hall by 5:00 p.m. Thursday, March 27, 1986. Tax amnesty plan is o.k.'d by Legislature Michigan will have a tax amnesty program this spring. House bill 4706, which I supported has been passed by the Legislature. The bill authorizes the program which will be ad­ ministered by the state Department of Treasury and the State Revenue Com­ missioner. Amnesty is to be observed for at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, ending no later than June 30. The state treasurer will set the dates. During that period, tax­ payers who pay in full their state obligations due before Oct. 1, 1985, plus interest, will do so without incurring penalties or prosecution. For the most part, am­ nesty will cover individual single income taxes, business tax, sales and use taxes, motor fuel tax, cigarette tax, intangibles tax and inheritance tax. It will not apply to local taxes, such as property taxes or city income taxes. It also will not apply to federal taxes or beer, wine or liquor taxes. In about a month, the Department of Treasury will begin advertising and ex­ plaining the program. Although the legislation provides for amnesty, the details of its operation will be developed by the treasurer and the state revenue commissioner. I urge constituents to obtain and follow the directions when they become available. Anyone with legal questions should also contact their own attorney, tax consultant or certified public accountant to ensure they are proceeding properly. For example, amnesty will not apply to taxes due after September 30, 1985, nor to persons currently under criminal investigation or individuals involved in civil Maple Valley ADULT EDUCATION High School Completion and Vocational Courses...

The amnesty period will be followed by a significantly tougher investigation and enforcement of state tax laws. There will be a special penalty of 50 percent assessed against those who fail to take advantage of the amnesty period if they are subsequently discovered to be delinquent in a tax. Experts predict that the program should bring in between $50 million and $120 million. It makes sense to have an amnesty period before a major increase in en­ forcement. I hope people who have been afraid to come forward, for fear of civil or criminal penalty, will take the opportunity to pay their taxes and interest in full, and start with a clean slate. A weekly report from - actions New Law Designed to Protect Good Samaritans From Liability Good Samaritans who attempt to resuscitate persons during a life and death emergency will be protected from liability under a bill (HB 4077) just signed into law. The new law is designed to encourage prompt life­ saving action when death is imminent. Attempts had been made to protect only those who had been certified in car­ diopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but those efforts failed after lengthy debate in the House and Senate. Now anyone can provide that life-saving action, as long as they act in good faith and without gross negligence or wanton misconduct. In situations where seconds count, doubts and hesitations about cer­ tification or future lawsuits could discourage someone from taking needed action. This legislation eliminates those impediments and strongly encourages prompt involvement in saving lives. House Passes Telephone Rates Bill Legislation has passed the Michigan House bill that would allow regulated telephone companies to charge lower rates to business customers to better compete with unregulated companies. Under the bill (HB 5158) the Public Service Com­ mission (PSC) would have the power to permit flexible service by regulated telephone companies, such as Michigan Bell, General Telephone and Electric and A.T.& T., in competitive markets. Under that system, the companies could offer lower rates, experimental services and other actions without PSC approval for business customers. The legislation, however, prohibits a telephone company from surcharging other customers to make up the cost of these services. The bill also requires the PSC to maintain authority in each case, and rescind its deregulatory order if it finds that competition no longer exists in a service area. One long-standing goal of public policy with regard to the telecommunications industry has been the Continued next column— ERNEST NASH State Representative NATIONAL EYE CARE PROJECT TO HELP SENIORS - a new nationwide project has been designed to make available professional medical eye care to needy senior citizens at no out-of-pocket cost to the patient. The National Eye Care project is funded by the private sector. Patients age 65 and older, who do not have a personal ophthalmologist, may call a toll-free number for assistance starting May 5,1986. The number for Michigan will be 1-800222-EYES. BILL WOULD LIMIT CONTEMPT SENTENCES - A bill limiting jail sentences to 90 days for people charged with civil contempt has been passed by the House Judiciary Committee. Proponents say it would end excessive jail terms imposed on non-violent protestors jailed for civil disobedience. REPORT SAYS MICHIGAN NEEDS MORE LANDFILLS - The state will forfeit new industrial investment and the jobs it brings unless more landfills and recycling plants are provided to handle toxic waste, according to a report issued by the Metropolitan Affairs Corporation. The lack of landfill capacity, incinerators and recyclers threatens Michigan’s future because only large, established firms with private disposal facilities will be able to operate once waste disposal facilities become scare. COMMITTEE APPROVES TEACHER CERTIFICATION BILL - Prospective Michigan teachers would have to pass a test to prove they understand the three R’s before getting state approval to teach in public schools under a bill recently approved by a state House panel. The legislation, already approved by the Senate, requires the state Board of Education to develop certification tests by 1987. HOUSE APPROVES PHONE REGULATION BILL - Legislation aimed at making Michigan’s telephone industry more competitive has been unamiously approved by the state House. The bill, forwarded to the Senate on a 103-0 bill, would give the state Public Service Commission more flexibility in regulating telephone services. The bill tries to ensure that everyone gets telephone service, while at the same time allowing telephone companies regulated by the PSC to compete with unregulated companies in some or all operations. Continued from below— provision of adequate and reasonably priced services and products to the general public, often referred to as universal service. The bill would enstfre continued provision of universal service and would protect customers who, because of their geographic location or small number, have no option in purchasing their communication services. The bill now goes to the Senate for further consideration. captive Vermontville RESIDENTS Thank you for your support in the March 10 General Election.

Wolff Governor Blanchard has declared the week of March 23-29 as Michigan Tornado Safety Week. Efforts directed towards this awareness week will involve the public school system, local civil defense directors, and National Weather Service and the media. An average of 17 tornadoes occur in Michigan a year. Since 1950, a total of 230 persons have been killed Driver due to tornadoes. During this time, 592 tornadoes have occurred in the state. Tornadoes can occur at anytime of the day or night and in almost any month of the year. However, most tornadoes occur in the months of April, May, June and July in the late afternoon and evening hours usually between 3-7 p.m. The following emergency weather condition policy is in effect for the Maple Valley Schools during a period of a tornado watch or a tornado warning: If there are tornado warnings for the area in­ cluding the Maple Valley Schools and such warnings are announced in the mor­ ning before any busses leave the bus parking areas, the school busses will not make the regular runs until the all clear is given. An­ nouncement of such action will be made on the same stations as used during snow June 27. A second group will begin the same day at 10 a.m. Driving schedules will be established by each in­ dividual driving instructor. When completed they will be posted in the high school office windows. Any person needing driver education, that is a resident of Maple Valley School District and will be 15 years of age by August 1, 1986, is eligible to enroll in the program. There is no charge to any student. Policies for the program and forms with which to sign up are available at the high school office. These forms must be filled out and returned to the office by Tuesday, April 8. Anyone having questions may obtain information from the high school office, 852-9275. must be filed with the high school principal or assistant principal. Forms are available at the high school principal’s office or assistant principal’s office. There will not be any noon kindergarten runs to pick up students during periods when tornado warnings are in effect for this area before the busses leave the parking areas. General school operational Bellevue schools plan kindergarten round-up On Wednesday, April 23, the Bellevue Community Schools will hold Kin­ dergarten Round-Up for parents in the Elementary Lunchroom from 1:15-2:30 p.m. The following activiteis are planned: Submission of Birth Certificate and Registration; a presentation of curriculum; scheduling of a classroom visit and vision screening; health suggestions by an Eaton County Nurse; and ex­ planation of the develop­ mental kindergarten class.

Gene Osborn, right, and wife Darla show some Gene's favorite stamps from his collection. by Shelly Sulser A hobby that started as just an interesting pastime when Gene Osborn was a child has grown into a serious business for the Nashville area man. “My dad got me started collecting stamps when I was a kid,” he said. “ He just wanted me to have a hobby.” Now, Osborn is the owner of a jewelry store in Mar­ shall, where over 100,000 stamps are sold and traded, along with hundreds of old and rare coins. Osborn, along with his wife Darla, live on a farm about five miles south of Nashville on Butler Road, where Mrs. Osborn runs a beauty shop from her home. And when Gene is not running the jewelry store in Marshall, he is working as a train engineer for the Grand Trunk Western Railroad in Battle Creek, where he has been employed for 22 years. Although Osborn began collecting stamps as a child, he admits he quit during his teen-aged years, and did not take up the hobby again until he was stationed in Germany while serving in the army. At that time, Osborn began collecting some of the stamps and coins from Germany and other coun- tries he visited while in the army. ‘‘Stamps have everything,” said Osborn who claims the hobby helps him to relax. “Some have birds, some have planes, or flowers, or dogs.” He also noted many stamps com­ memorate certain eras, “THE NEW” Vermontville Hardware — Has New Stock In — collects both stamps and coins, he firmly states that “stamps come first with me,” he said. “Once you start collecting them, you learn to love the hobby,” noted Osborn. Since owning his store, Osborn has noticed a definite increasing interest in the hobby. “Business is real good, we’ve been selling coins and stamps and a lot of people have stamps that don’t know the value of them so I ap­ praise them,” he said, noting he also sells all stamp collecting supplies. In the Nashville area, Osborn notes local people are becoming more in­ terested, including his own son, Lome, who has collected for 10 years. , “I think everyone needs a hobby,” he said. To obtain many of the stamps he collected, Osborn sent for them through the mail or purchased them from other collectors. He also said he has a neice that is a postmaster who often saves interesting stamps for him. Osborn already possesses many of the less valuable stamps, and now con­ centrates on getting the more valuable and rare stamps. Many of those more valuable stamps are ones that were introduced bet­ ween 1800 and 1847 and ones with high value. “Stamps started out costing about five cents to 10 cents,’’ he noted, and said that as time grew on, many increased in value. Then in the 1950’s, they reduced in price down to about four cents again. “The high value stamps from the 1800’s are worth a lot more,” he said. “And if they’re still on the envelope, they are worth eveti more.” High value stamps are ones that contained a high postal Continued on next pag SHIPMENTS ARRIVING DAILY!

But Osborn mainly specializes in United States stamps, duck stamps and opes that represent early British colonies. According to the lifelong area resident, the hobby is making a comeback in the United States. “Some schools are starting programs for kids to collect coins and stamps, and clubs are starting up in different places,” he said. Osborn is a member of the Kalamazoo Stamp Club, where he often attends stamp shows to swap and buy stamps from other collectors. He also travels around the country to attend stamp shows. “I buy probably five to 10 stamps at a time,” he said, noting that some of the most valuable stamps can cost more than $1,000 each. Although he only opened his Marshall store last November, Osborn notes quite a number of people go there to get stamps ap­ praised or to look over Osborn’s stamp and coin collections.

Those on envelopes are known as “covers” and are considerably more valuable than those not attached. Others that have never been used, or “mint” stamps are also quite valuable. A number of stamps in Osborn’s collection come from foreign countries, such as Russia, Poland, and Czechoslovakia, and some from countries that no longer exist. Other valuable stamps are those that were printed with errors that were never meant to be released for use. One such stamp is one with an upside-down airplane on it. “Even new stamps with errors on them can be valuable,” he said. Osborn noted those who are in­ terested should look for stamps with missing colors or unperforated stamps. Other stamps worth a large amount include ones that commemorate the blimp, the “Graf Zeppelin”. Osborn pointed out that some stamp collections that were “put away in the attic and forgotten” can prove to be worth millions. “There was one find recently where a lady whose brother or husband died years and years ago and she just happened to look through some old boxes in her attic and she found his stamp collection. It turned out it was worth over a million dollars,” Osborn said. Osborn suggests anyone having a collection or a small amount of stamps that might be of some value should take them to a good reputable stamp dealer for an appraisal. “Stamps are a great in­ vestment,” noted the expert Osborn. “They appreciate in value, they never depreciate.” Trees are normally not thought of as a crop, but there are over 133,200 acres of woodland under private ownership in Barry and Eaton Counties, which can be a valuable commodity. Unlike a typical farm that is harvested once a year and has its market prifts an­ nounced daily, the woodlot might be harvested every 10 to 15 years. There are no public announcements on current market prices, but since property taxes are still paid annually on woodlands, they should be managed as part of the total farm en­ terprise. A three session workshop entitled “Woodlot Products Marketing and Taxation,” is being offered to show how woodlands can contribute to the farm operation. It will be held at the Maple Grove Community Hall in Nash­ ville, on March 25 and 27, from 7 to 9 p.m. A field tour will take place March 29, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Besides enabling landowners to effectively manage and market their woodlot resources, the workshop will also show how to utilize federal income and state property tax programs that encourage the management and production of woodlot products by providing tax incentives. The first session will focus on marketing woodlot products. Emphasis will be placed on utilizing professional forestry advice to select trees ready for harvest, and developing a sale advertisement to attract competitive bidders. Other subjects include how to establish a proper contract with the buyer, and discussed. The third session will be a field tour of woodlot product harvesting operations, to observe examples of marketing, and both proper and poor management. The workshop is being sponsored by the Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service, Eaton and Barry Counties. Enrollment is limited and pre-registration is required. Cost of the workshop is $5 a person. For further in­ formation call 543-2310 or 372-5594.

The tax benefits of producing wood products will be discussed in the second session.

Kienutske was appointed Thursday by the Nashville Village Council to fill a vacancy created when trustee Richard Furlong resigned his post two months ago. Voting procedures used by the council to appoint Kienutske have been questioned by a former village official. Before the voting, Village President John Hughes told the council they could make the appointment one of two ways. “We can: number one — make a motion; or number two — cast ballots by writing the name down on a piece of paper and they will be tallied by the clerk,” Hughes said. The general concensus of the council, was to use the ballot method. “Tliis is acceptable,” Hughes said. Members of the council cast secret ballots by writing on a slip of paper the name of one of three applicants for the seat: Kienutske, Don Williams and Wayne Ker­ win. Village Clerk Susan Cork­ well did not tally the votes, n f. Village Clerk Susan M. Corkwell (left) reads the oath of office to: (second fro m left) Carl Tobias, John Hughes, Pam Godbey, Marsha Ainslie, Sue Kienutske and Lois Elliston. Nashville Village President John Hughes presented outgoing village clerk Susan Corkwell with a plaque in appreciation of her 10 years of service. saying Monday that “I don’t like to see public officials vote on a secret ballot.” Corkwell, who has served as village clerk in Nashville for the past 10 years, did not seek reelection to the office and was performing her duties as clerk for the last time at the Thursday meeting. “In my ten years as clerk I never saw the council cast a secret ballot,” she said adding, “I felt bad that the last time I was there they had to do that.” The number of votes for each were tallied by President Hughes; and Kienutske and Kerwin tied with two votes each, while Don Williams received one Three Maple Valley students chosen to attend gifted and talented summer institutes by Shelly Sulser Three finalists and two alternates from Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School were selected by officials at the Eaton Intermediate School District last week to attended summer institutes for the gifted and talented. High School Counselor Ward Rooks noted that of six spots open in the Eaton Intermadiate District, Maple Valley students were chosen to fill three. “That’s just an outstanding accomplishment,” Rooks said. “We’re really proud of that.” Junior Dawn Morawski, sophomore Kelly Hoefler and junior Jeff Hudson will each select which college campus and program they would like to attend for this summer’s two week workshop, set to take place in July. Two other Maple Valley students, sophomores Eric Haeck and Kim Bahs were chosen as alternate summer workshop participants. M.V. students (seated) Dawn Morawski, Kelly Hoefler, (back row I to r) Jeff Hudson, Eric Haeck and Kim Bahs were chosen to attend summer institutes for gifted-talented. vote. After this vote, Hughes said “We have to vote again and eliminate the lowest and go for two. Don Williams is no longer in the running.” The members of the council then cast secret votes again by writing the names on paper to break the tie between Kerwin and Kienutske. The second vote revealed that Sue Kienutske had gained three votes and Kerwin two, prompting a motion by trustee Marsha Ainslie to appoint Kienutske to the council. All five present council members (Dick Chaffee was absent) then voted unanimously to accept Kienutske to the council for one year to complete Furlong’s term. According to Vicky Manning, legal assistant to Attorney Susan lanotti of the Michigan State Attorney General’s Office, when decisions are made at public meetings, all voting that prohibits the public from seeing how each member voted is not permissible. Manning said she could not speak specifically about Nashville’s balloting procedure because lanotti was not available. John Hughes said Monday he felt the voting procedure Speaker to talk at ‘SADD’ meeting Michigan’s Regional Director of Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD) Larry Rotta will talk to students in grades nine through 12 at a Tuesday, May 6 meeting from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at Maple Valley High School. Members of the com­ munity are also welcome to attend, said school coor­ dinator Jerry Reese. “Parents need to be educated along with the kids,” Reese said. was acceptable because “I’ve seen it done that way at other public meetings...and I assumed they knew what they were doing.” He added he had previously intended to consult the Roberts Rules of Order concerning the matter but “I didn’t get a chance to...I assumed it was ac­ ceptable since I’ve seen other bodies do it that way.” Kienutske, whose term begins today, was a can­ didate for council in the recent village election as was Williams, but both were defeated in the primary. In other discussion, council trustee Jerry Kent proposed the sewer line be extended along Casgrove Street, going west to the village limits, but no action was taken. Kent said the project would cost the village about $32,000 and would be performed by an outside contractor. Kent indicated that there is potential for additional homes to be built in that area that would need the sewer service as opposed to having wells. “We might better do it that way right now if the sewer fund can handle it which I think we can,” Kent said. A representative of the Centel Corporation, a cable television company that is in the process of purchasing the assets to the Charter Telecommunications Company, spoke to the council and residents in attendance at the Thursday meeting. David Woodcock, the company’s director of technical services, said he did not know when Centel will actually take possession and begin operating the cable television service. He did say the company does not plan to raise the rates im­ mediately, and that the company plans to stay COUNCIL, continued page 6 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 1, 1986 — Page 2 School Board approves curriculum coordinator position by Shelly Sulser A curriculum coordinator will be hired for the Maple Valley School District, the board decided last Monday. The board of education agreed unanimously at its special March 24 meeting to create the new position, acting on a recommendation by the board appointed citizen advisory committee and a proposal by School Superintendent Carroll Wolff, Although no definite job description has yet been adopted — something the board will decide at its April 14 regular meeting — it was agreed the new coordinator will be considered an ad­ ditional administrator and will be responsible for special education in the Maple Valley District; writing grant applications and dealing with the public. The proposal by Wolff accepted by the board also states the person in the new position would coordinate federal programs and assist with contract negotiations. According to Wolff, such criteria would provide ad­ ditional time for the present two elementary principals to work more directly with the instructional program. Other duties and responsiblities of the new coordinator (the title could be changed at a later date, Wolff said) could include working with staff and ad­ ministrators in evaluating the general teacher evaluation system and changes that might be desired; coordinating teacher evaluations with building administrators; making presentations to the board regarding curriculum changes, general in- Spring Is...

In addition, Wolff noted the person would have “more flexibility to attend the number of meetings that we can’t.” Previously, the district had to rely on in­ formation given by others who had been more able to attend the several state education seminars and meetings held each year. In other discussion, the board informed members of the citizen advisory com­ mittee of its intentions concerning the committee’s report on the school system. “On the surface you might be a little disappointed because there hasn’t been a lot done but there has been a lot of discussion and a lot of things have been thought out,” said Board President Dave Hawkins. He noted the previously approved five-year plan for the schools will be completed and presented at the regular May meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education. The plan will encompass all aspects of school life at Maple Valley, Hawkins said. “We just want you to know we are working on it, we want to keep you informed,” Hawkins said. He noted that presently, the board is in the process of prioritizing some of the items on the committee’s list of recommendations for the schools. Hawkins said the approval of a director of transportation, facilities and How can you count on great claims service? No problem. Many may say they have great claims service. Only some can prove it. Auto-Owners polled their customers, and found almost all of them are sat­ isfied with Auto-Owners Claims Service. (Nobody's perfect, but we're try­ ing.) So right now there is a great effort to please the few that aren't and con­ tinue the "common sense" approach to settlements that made Auto-Owners so popular in the first place. See your Auto-Owners agent. Because although there are many that say they have great claims service, Auto-Owners works harder every day to prove it. 'Cluto-Owners Insurance equipment is one move that will be finalized in June when the contracts are renegotiated, as will the addition of study hall aides for the schools. Although the board has made no decision concerning the reinstatement of an elementary school coun­ selor, the board does plan to re-employ five regular classroom teachers, one special education instructor and one counselor for the jr.sr. high school for the 1986-87 school year. The board agreed to obtain a 10 percent year-end cash balance in the general fund by the school year 1990-91. Presently, the board retains a six percent cash balance and will increase one percent each year until 10 percent is reached by 1990. Another recommendation acted upon previously was the acceptance of an evaluation form for the superintendent. Regarding the cost to the schools for the recom­ mended repairs, Superin­ tendent Carroll Wolff reported the board examined the committee recom­ mendations and made cost estimates for each repair or addition needed. He said critical needs are estimated at $759,932, intermediate needs at 359,472 and long range needs at $159,358, all totaling to $1,314,762. In view of the needed funds, Curriculum Sub­ committee Chairperson Sue Bahs asked the board if it plans to request millage1 in the upcoming June election. Hawkins replied the board has made no decision con­ cerning millage proposals. “We definitely need more money...but there has been no board action to ask for millage,” Hawkins said. He added the board’s finance committee will meet and report back to the board. Wolff noted that if such a proposal is put before the voters, proper wording of the proposal would allow for the district to draw state aid as well. He said one mill would generate about $120,000, an amount that would not be enough to repair the roof at the jr.-sr. high school all at one time. ACTION-ADS TAe.

(4-8) Bahs also asked what the board’s plans would be for the money if it did ask the public for a millage in­ crease. “The sooner it comes out what the board’s goals are, the better,” Bahs said. She added the curriculum committee felt there was a great need in the elementary schools for a counselor. However, Hawkins noted the board had not taken the opportunity to discuss that matter in depth. Other members of the citizens committee noted they would like to see a plan by the board concerning how it plans to approach the committee report, “but we don’t expect immediate action on everything,” they said. One recommendation made by the board to achieve North Central Ac­ creditation was also discussed, with Rick Kent of the Eaton Intermediate School District reporting it would take at least three years to obtain. “There are less than 25 districts in Michigan that have accreditation for the kindergarten through eighth grade program,” Kent said. Also, Bahs asked the board what feedback it has heard from the public regarding the citizens’ committee report.

The groups are broken down according to age and ability. The two and three-yearolds (with parents) class stresses interlationships with other children in a group. The exercises are designed to help the youngster develop a basis for physical and social skill growth. Teacher for the first year of the classes, Angela Bob, noted the young children in the class will learn to follow directions and the parents will learn how to effectively exercise in a playful way with their child. “We use gymnastics to challenge a child’s physical and mental capabilities,” she said. ‘‘Gymnastics develops large motor skills, kinesthetic awareness, depth perception and general coordination.” She also added that through gymnastics, a child learns movements and skills that not only will be almost universal to any sport, but at the same time will build the overall muscle groups in ways that no other sport can. The spring session starts April 14 and is five-weeks long with classes meeting twice a week, Mondays and Wednesdays. The fee is $20 for 10 lessons, while the two and three-year-olds class is $15 for 10 lessons. Registration will be taken Monday, April 7 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Fuller School. Four to six-year-olds meet from 2:45 to 3:30 p.m.; two and three-year-olds (with parent) meet from 3:30 to 4 p.m.; beginners (age seven and above) from 4 to 4:45 p.m.; advanced beginners meet from 4:45 to 5:30 p.m.; intermediate and advanced meet from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Anyone with questions can contact Patty Warren at (616) 963-9405.

"I've never seen a syrup season like this," said Nash­ ville's Veteran Syrup maker Harold Christiansen. Christiansen noted the Nashville crop is gathered for the year, and it only amounts to about 300 gallons, •‘about 150 short," he said. Christiansen blamed the low yield on the tem­ peratures reaching opposite extremes in short periods of time. Vermontville Syrup maker Nyle Wells agrees, and has also suffered from the low yield. “We were hoping for 800 gallons this year,” Wells said. “We had 3,600 buckets hung and on a good year we would get about 1,000 gallons of syrup from that." Well noted only about 550 gallons of syrup have been made in Vermontville. The general rule when tapping maple trees is that the temperatures must dip below freezing during the night and become warmer during the day in order for the sap to run ideally. But when it was time to tap in February, the weather was too cold and the fust batchofsapwas not boiled in Nashville until Mar. 9. And on the contrary, the weather became so warm so rapidly, that the sap tends to become bitter and unusable for syrup making in that type of situation. In order to stretch his supply. Wells said he had to cut back on orders for large quantities of syrup to meet the anticipated demand for syrup during the April Maple Syrup Festival. Wells said nearly 400 to 500 gallons of syrup is sold during the annual festival. ‘T think now we have just enough to fill the com­ mittment," Wells said. According to Christiansen. Nashville’s syrup supply always produces a surplus of syrup that is often used the following year to be added to the amount avialable for sale. “Lucidly, we have about 200 surplus gallons from last year that we can use this year but next year we won't have a surplus," he said.

Crook, area sanitarian for the division of environmental health. Bureau of Environmental and Oc­ cupational Health, who has told the couple they must make certain improvements to their campground or they will not be issued a license to reopen.) To the Editor: We have owned and operated Gillaspie’s Pon­ derosa Campground since 1980 as a modern cam­ pground (primitive 1978-80) with all of the alleged in­ fractions supposedly taking place and we have had ab­ solutely no problems or complaints regarding the pressure of the water supply. (There were 143-units at the campground during the 1985 Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival with no repercussions what so ever). The sewer system was never over-taxed and the supply of electricity was more than adequate. We are at a loss to know why at this date, six-years later, that we are .being harassed regar­ ding these matters. Ironically, eight-years ago today (March 1) we moved from a very comfortable home near Sunfield, debt free, to undertake the hard work, financial stress and many tears to build and establish a nice, clean, quiet haven for campers. If you would take the time (we realize that this is no concern of yours) to talk with any of the campers at Gillaspie's Ponderosa Campground you would find that most of them would readily agree that we have accomplished that part of our dream. We are asking you (Mr. Crook) to condenscendly consider granting Gillaspie’s Ponderosa Campground a Rally Permit for one weekend only April 25-27 (1986) to accommodate the campers that are pre­ registered (65-units at this time) to camp during the annual Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival as a token of respect for the village of Vermontville. We are unable to reach, either by telephone or mail as in many cases we have names only for the pre­ registered camping units. At that time, campers will be informed that Gillaspie’s Ponderosa Campground will no longer be in operation. We must give you, Mr. Crook, due credit in that you have offered to talk with us at any time, providing we have all of the necessary permits and have a licensed engineer to plan what action was deemed necessary. We are senior citizens and do not feel that we are able to take on the additional in­ debtedness of $8,000 to $9,000 that this action would require. We were wondering if you, Mr. Crook, would be willing to assume the responsibility for this ex­ pense?

As with many such celebrations, in preparation people begin to search in their attics, basements and rummage through old trunks in hopes of displaying their great-grandmothers quilt or pictures of their first generation of family members that came to Michigan. However, if these articles of clothing and photographs have not been stored properly, the chance of them surviving this first 150 years is very slim. Join the Eaton Extension County Homemakers for a program on “Preserving Heirlooms” on Thursday evening, April 17, at the Eaton In- termediate School, 1790 E. Packard Hwy., Charlotte from 7-9 p.m. Come and enjoy a fashion show of the past presented by Vonda Bethel of Charlotte. This one-woman show will include antique clothing dating back to 1870. The second speaker of the evening “Mr. Babs” from Mason, will speak about the restoration of photographs and he will show how he YOU CANT DO BETTER THAN MAJTW GARDHf R MCOMMENDS . develops prints from old tintypes.

C To Vermontville Area Residents: I would like to express my views on the proposition of a prison farm in Vermontville. In all the years that Vermontville has been 25 miles from Ionia, how many times have we had crimes committed by escapees? As I recollect our troubles have come from roudies and juvenile delinquents from our own community. I have talked with some Ionia residents and they feel if they have escapees they usually have an accomplice who helps them get to places farther away than Ver­ montville. Why be against any im­ provement it might generate in our already declining business community? Perhaps we might get our train service back, drug store, new businesses, etc. Ava Kroger U-sharit will have food shopping lesson The U-Sharit Extension Group met March 12 at the home of Tecla Snow who serv­ ed an Italian lunch of pizza, salad and dessert.

POSTAGE HASTINGS, Ml 49058 Hastings Public Libary 121 S. Church St. Hastings, MI 49058 Published by J-Ad Graphics, Inc. 1952 N. Broadway, Hastings, Mich. 49058 P.O. Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 114 - No. 39 — Tuesday, April 8, 1986 More petitions express opposition to local prison by Shelly Sulser Vermontville man Doug Janousek told members of the Vermontville Village Council Thursday he has gathered the names of 40 residents opposed to the building of a medium security state prison in the village. “I believe all of them (those who signed the petition) figured that regardless what comes from it, it is going to affect the quality of life in the com­ munity,” Janousek said. Janousek is the second Vermontville resident to circulate petitions against the building of a prison in the village, a proposal made by village councilman Russ Bennett two months ago. Resident Richard Dunham approached some citizens of the village last month to protest the proposal. Janousek, who also noted he found that eight people he approached were for the prison proposal and five were indifferent, says he is opposed not to the prison, but to the intensified traffic that he says will accompany such an institution. “The number of beds that were proposed (528) would just about double the size of the community with the guards it would take,” he said. “And the truck traffic running in and out of there...would take away from what the community has already.” Although the council anunced last month that it plans to hold a public meeting to discuss the matter with members of the state Department of Corrections, no date has yet been set. Village President Sue Villanueva noted April 9 was a date suggested to James Curran of the department in a letter sent to him by the village, but he could not be reached to confirm. However, Villanueva said that state authorities plan to conduct a feasbility study in the village. “That doesn’t mean ‘yes, it’s coming’ and that doesn’t mean ‘no, it’s not coming’...all I know is that they want to do a study,” Villanueva said. She also reported that the state says that they need eight facilities to be built throughout Michigan. “They want regional facilities and Vermontville is right in the middle of where they would like to put one,” Villanueva said. She added that if the prison is not built in Vermontville, there is a possibility state authorities would investigate con­ structing one in either Sunfield, Nashville or Bellevue. Janousek said he plans to request the presence of a Saugatuck senator and the executive director of the prison guard union at the public meeting when it is established. In addition, Chamber of Commerce President Pat O’Dell announced at Thursday’s meeting that following a public meeting held by the village, the chamber will follow through by also holding regular public meetings. “I will get different ones like the mayor of Ionia and some of the chamber of commerce presidents from areas that have prisons for questions and answers,” O’Dell said. Although Villanueva in­ dicated the prison issue would not be put to a vote of the people, newly elected trustee Rod Harmon added that “as far as I know, I’m the only one on the council that is against the prison,” he said. “Whether it brings in $200 million or $6 million or 200 jobs, that is my feeling and I think the majority of the people should speak,” Harmon said, “but we’re not going to know the majority of the people speaking if we don’t have a vote.” Harmon said he is upset that the council is proceeding with steps regarding the prison issue, “just because five or six of, the council people want it” Harmon said he would like to see the council vote to “see who is in favor of it.” He also stated it was noted that residents of the village who toured the state prison in Muskegon .said the prisoners were dressed in regular clothing and they could not be distinguished from the tourists. “How are you going to tell them (the prisoners apart from others) when they get out?” questioned Harmon. “...I believe that we (people in opposition to the proposal) are a majority.” Because one person stated last month that she felt the council was not proceeding properly and was “putting the- cart before the horse”, council member Lana Oster proclaimed that the council is not acting in that manner. “As far as I’m concerned, the village council, every person on this board, is pursuing this matter in the correct manner, in the way it is supposed to be,” she said. “There is nothing going on underhanded here, it’s up front and we have not made any decisions and we are not getting the cart before the horse. We are following the proper procedures in order to protect all of the residents of the village so there won’t be any problem.” In response to that statement, Janousek disagreed. “I’ve got a problem with that. You say you are doing it by procedure, then you’re assuming the village wants it,” he said. “I say-why don’t the village ask first.” Oster replied that “I’m not assuming anything...a feasiblity study has to be done here before anything can be done. We’re not building a prison down here before a feasibility study.” Oster also commented that “it was put in the paper that we’re doing this kind of a— backwards...it’s not being done that way.” Janousek again disagreed with Oster’s statement. “To continue without the support of the community is doing it backwards,” he said. To conclude discussion concerning Vermontville’s prison, Villanueva an­ nounced that “as soon as we can get with Curran, we will try to set a date for this hearing and it will be put in the paper and we will go from there.” Doug Janousek of Vermontville, second from left, presented petitions before the council opposing the proposed prison. He is the second Vermontville man to circulate peititons against the prison proposal. Counci l votes Sherman Vermontville to install Street sewer line by Shelly Sulser The Vermontville Village Council voted unanimously Thursday to spent nearly $7,000 to install a new sewer line along Sherman Street in the village. Work is to begin as soon as possible. The action came as a result of a request by resident Harold O’Dell, who originally asked to install sewer pipes along the street to his property. Because the council learned that another Sherman Street resident also wished to hook into the village sewer system, the board decided to install the sewer pipe and pay for the construction. This will have an impact on other Sherman Street residents, who will be required to hook into the new line after it is installed. According to village or­ dinances, all Sherman Street residents will be required to apply for a permit to hook into the system and must connect within 30 days following the permit receipt. The cost to connect to the village system is $600, council members said. In addition, existing residents currently operating with a septic tank must abandon the tank and fill it with suitable material (such as sand) after con­ necting to the village sewer system. In other business, the council referred to the wage committee an issue con­ cerning village employee benefits outlined in the wage agreement that allows village employees free water and sewer service. This was given to maintenance em­ ployees Tony Wawiernia and Monte O’Dell and to deputy clerk Jill Booher in their original 1983 wage agreement in place of a raise. The action came as a result of the receipt of a letter from village attorney David Smith who noted free water and sewer service should not be given to residents. “He suggests we get out of it,” said Village President Sue Villanueva, “but because it was a part of their wage agreement, I don’t feel we can just yank it away.” Villanueva suggested the employees who receive the benefit be compensated in their wages in order to pay for the services. The wage committee, which consists of Russ Bennett and Rod Harmon, will investigate the matter and make a recom­ mendation to the council at the May regular meeting. In other business, the council: — Agreed to have Village Street Administrator Tony Continued on page 2— Kate Bosworth-Houck is picked as grand marshall by Shelly Sulser “She’s a very active and very concerned citizen” says Vermontville Syrup Festival Corporation Secretary Norma Veile when asked why Kathryn BosworthHouck was chosen as “honored citizen” of the 1986 Syrup Festival. In the festival program schedule, Houck is said to have served her community well by being active in festival activities since it’s inception, by being a member ofthe Congregational Church, the Vermontville Woman’s Club, Historical Society and numerous Kate Bosworth-Houck will preside over the syrup festival parade as it's grand marshal on April 26. other organizations. “Your community salutes you, Kate, for the many volunteer activities per­ formed in our behalf...this is your day!” the program states. Kate, who has lived in the Vermontville area her entire life, is modest about the designation. “I think it’s an honor. I appreciate the festival association declaring me honored person,” she said. Recalling how she learned about the honor, Kate said she was in the grocery store in town one day when someone congratulated her. “ ‘What for?’ I said,” noted Kate. “I thought there must be some mistake.” Living with her husband Ron on their Ionia Rd. farm, Kate is probably most known for her role as Eaton County clerk, a post she she held from 1963 until she retired in 1980. Prior to that, Kate was village and township treasurer in Vermontville and served in the capacity for four consecutive terms, until she moved out of town in 1959. At that time, she had to give up her village treasurer duties, but remained the Vermontville township’s treasurer for another term. Recalling when she first decided to run for county clerk in 1963, Kate said people were shocked that she, as a Democrat, was running for office in what they considered a “Republican County.” Continued on page 5— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 8, 1986 — Page 2 Vermontville man to face felony charges in May 12 exam reckless driving and driving by Shelly Sulser Vermontville man Chris Dibble will face felony charges next month for the Feb. 26 resisting and ob­ structing of a police officer.

One of the earliest and most damaging floods recorded in this part of the state was noted in last week’s Memories column which excerpted news Of the week in Nashville history. In its issue of April 1,1904, the Nashville News reported (in part): “The most disastrous flood which has ever deluged southern Michigan has raged since last Thursday night. The streams were already bank full of water from the melting snow and ice, when the whole lower peninsula was visited with the most terrific rain storm in years. Traffic by highways and railroads has been almost entirely suspended, bridges and dams have gone out by the wholesale, country and towns have been flooded to an unprecedented degree, in several places loss of life has resulted, and the loss in a financial and business way will be stupendous... "Nashville has been in bad luck all around the past week. Besides being shut out from the world by high water and having no mail or daily papers, we have also been deprived of city water and fire protection by the breaking of a main, and of electric lights by the going out of the power dam at La Barge.” There are probably few of our present-day ' senior citizens who can recall that 82-year-old event, but many of our readers can clearly remember a later spring food that may have sur­ passed the 1904 disaster. In 1947 the village suffered what some news sources at that time called “the worst flood in the history of Nash­ ville.” Streets, highways, homes and businesses were inundated as the Thornapple River overflowed its banks. Luckily, the Nashville dam held throughout the torrent. The following account appeared in The Nashville News on April 10, 1947. “Nashville, along with many other villages and cities throughout the state, had a taste of flood conditions over the weekend. At one time Saturday the village could be said to be entirely cut off from the outside world, high­ ways being flooded at places in all directions. “M-66 was closed south of town about noon Saturday when a portion of road bed. near the Beigh school washed out, and in dozens of places motorists had to drive thru water from a few inches to several feet in depth. “The Thornapple River, which had been in flood stage since early in the week, rose higher and higher Saturday as the result of close to three North Main Street shows the Thornapple River area where in 1975 heroic all­ night sandbagging by volunteers saved the dam, thwarting floodwaters that threatened downstream dwellings. In 1947, volunteers successfully sandbagged floodwaters sweeping toward the mill. That year, the river crested at a record­ setting 12 feet at Hastings. Waters reached nearly 10 feet there in 1975. A home just east of the old athletic field in Nash­ ville is surrounded by water in the 1975 flood. That area adjacent to the river near the downtown business district has historically been prone to flooding. Homes at the edge of the athletic field "flats" were marooned in 1947 by floodwaters. Irr the 1975 flood at least one riverside home (near the dam) had up to a foot of water inside. inches of rainfall and threatened to break out of bounds above the dam. Gangs of men worked all Saturday night, all day Sunday and Sunday night and by means of sandbags held the stream within its banks. The dam itself, reinforced and repaired last summer, weathered the flood without any great damage. “The big danger, up until the crest of the flood had passed Sunday night, was of the stream washing thru its retaining levee above the dam and sweeping over the lower part of the Riverside mill. Jim Rizor, proprietor of the mill, expected several times Saturday night that he and his little gang of volunteer workmen were about to lose the battle but each time they licked the river with hurriedly carried sandbags, boards and, in some instances, gobs of pomace from the nearby cider mill. “Sunday morning water completely covered a section of North Main Street at and near Reed Street. The crest was reached about 10 a.m. Sunday and by late that night the river had started receding. “The uninhabited flats along the river and the athletic field still are under water and the few homes at the edge of the flats still are marooned. “However, property damage here has been negligible, compared with many other sections of the state. Many basements are flooded for the first time in years- and most observers agree that the river was a little higher than in the last serious high-water period five years ago. “Thornapple Lake, swelled by countless tons of water from the river, reached the highest level ever recorded and numerous cottages suffered water damage. The Loveland cottage Saturday was washed off its foundation and extensively damaged. The Hess cottage was flooded with more than a foot of water, as were several others, most of the winter residents at the lake moved out before the high-water level was reached. “With an estimated 6,000 left homeless throughout the state, authorities in Lansing announced Wednesday that the worst of the flood is past and that all streams now have started receding. The highway department an­ nounced that all main high­ ways now are open, although there are still a few detours.” In an April headlines 8th story “Thornapple Reaches Highest Known Crest,” the Battle Creek Enquirer and News gave this report of how the 1947 flood effected the village: “In the biggest flood within the memory of those living along the Thornapple River, three streets of Nashville were partially flooded, three business places were flooded, two houses were completely surounded by water and a third had the first floor flooded. The Jacob Putkela family of near the ball diamond, was evacuated when water reached the three inch mark in the rear of their home. “Kenneth Laberteaux, Hastings city engineer, said Monday at 11:50 a.m. that the Thornapple River had reached the highest crest that he has ever known it to attain in flood-time. “He added that he believed the water will not rise much above the 12-foot mark which it attained at 8 a.m. Monday. At that time it had raised only half an inch since the previous measurement at 4 a.m. Monday. “Men were on duty all Sunday night at the Riverside Feed mill sand­ bagging the dam. Waters swirled over North Main Street near Reed and on Reed Street near the village dump. Kellogg Street was under water for a distance of 1,000 feet in one place. “Bud Olsen’s garage, the Murphy Body Co. and Nash­ ville Bike Shop were flooded. “At Thornapple Lake around 15 families were evacuated from Morgan’s Landing and another five from the south side of the lake. The large cottage of Mr. and Mrs. L.W. Loveland of Vermontville, was torn loose from its foundation and was floating near the edge of the lake. Trees prevented it going out into the. lake. “Water has risen 11 feet at the lake, coming within a few inches from the tops of the doors in the bath house. “The cottages of Ralph Hess, Vapce Barber and the Hammonds of Vermontville and Dr. Inwood of Chicago were flooded, as well as the cottages at the extreme west end of the lake and along the north shore where a cottage was seen floating in the lake. “The bridge leading to Charlton Park was covered with water.” In more recent memory is the spring flood of 1975 that caused an estimated $U, million in property damage throughout Barry County. Again, Nashville’s dam was sand-bagged by volunteers after a weekend of high wind and rain raised the level of the Thornapple some 10 feet when it crested at midnight, Sunday, April 20th. “About nine o’clock Saturday night, Nashville Superintendent of Public Works Tim Smith and Village President George Frith decided the dam was in danger of washing out from the pressure of flood­ waters,” reported the Maple Valley News in its April 23 issue. “An alert was issued to the local volunteer firemen who relayed the message to concerned citizens who turned out 75 to 80 strong to save the dam. “Young, old, men, women, children rallied behind the one-hundred year old mill to fill sandbags to shore up the ancient structure across the Thornapple. Their efforts made a difference of only about a foot ofwater at crest- time, but to some down­ stream dwellers, the one foot made the difference between innundation and in­ convenience. “The Thornapple, filled with floodwaters and bed by numerous tributaries, raised and raged, sending fear into the hearts of those living on its banks between Nashville and Hastings. “By Monday morning the water, the highest in a quarter century, started to recede and it appeared those who had evacuated their waterside homes -could return.” The Hastings Reminder reported: “Most of the damage was along the 40­ mile stretch of the Thor­ napple River which flows through the county. 200 to 250 homes have been flooded and evacuated by the residents. Hardest hit areas were -in Nashville, around Thor­ napple Lake, Charlton Park Rd., and along Center Rd. “Fifteen to 20 roads in the county also received water and flood damage. “The river reached its peak level of 9.71 feet at 7:30 a.m. on Monday and held that level through most of Monday morning. 4.4 feet is the normal river level”’... ’’In the biggest flood within the memory of those living along the Thornapple River, three streets in Nashville were partially flooded, three business places were flooded, two houses were completely surrounded by water and a third had the first floor flooded..." Some 80 Nashville residents — — men,women,young men women young and old — turned out in 1975 when village officials decided about 9 p.m. April 19 that the Thornapple River ver dam am was in n danger anger o of was washing ng ou out from rom pressure of floodwaters. Sandbags, seen in the foreground of this photo taken the following morning, show some of the work done throughout that Saturday night by dedicated volunteers. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 8, 1986 — Page 5 Food and Fitness Day to feature interesting sessions By Mona J.

Her efforts proved for the best. “I made it fairly easy the first time. But it was a little rough after that — these young girls would run against me but I managed to win out.” Some of her duties as county clerk, which she said she enjoyed very much, included dealing with the public in the form of issuing marriage licenses, birth certificates, death cer­ tificates and handling court and divorce papers. She was also responsible for preparing ballots for all elections and seeing that all ballots were correct. Kate remembers one humorous incident where a young man had just been discharged from the service and said he was told that he was to have his papers processed and to get a physical examination. “So he came into the of­ fice, brought his papers and said, ‘I’m ready for my examination’!” Even though Kate has been retired from her job as county clerk for six years, she says she misses dealing with the public and working with the people in the office. Although Kate claims to have no hobbies other than reading her favorite novels and history books, she has had some great success at showing horses in her day. She and her late first husband, Wayne Bosworth, used to be avid riders, and showed at numerous American Quarter Horse Association point shows. One year, Kate earned enough points to be named the State Champion of Womens’ Western Pleasure and also won the reserve champion award for all western pleasure the same year. Kate no longer has the seven horses she owned before she became county clerk, but still keeps her favorite quarter horse, “Red”. Kate also enjoys fishing, canoeing, golfing and other outdoor activities. Because Kate’s ancestors helped to settle Vermontville back around 1840, Kate donated a special gift to the people of Vermontville in their memory several years ago. And each time the chimes ring at the Congregational Church, the community is reminded of Kate’s gift, the gift of music. Kate donated the carillons to the community ‘‘in memory of my family,” she said. “And I want it to be known they were not just for the church, but for the whole community.” “They ring in the morning, at noon and at night,” noted Kate. Even though Kate has never made maple syrup, she notes she has always been interested in the Nancy and Laurie are on vacation.

And during the time she served on the festival association, Kate volun­ teered her time as the in­ formation booth worker during several past festivals and helped organize the festival arts and crafts show. “I like Vermontville and I like the county,” she noted. “It has a real interesting histoiy,” she said, citing that Vermontville was settled differently than most towns. “We were a colony. The people that came here set out to find land that looked like Vermont,” she explained. “They went to Kalamazoo first and then moved on to this area. They liked it so much they they went back and told the people that if they wanted to live here, they would have to attend church every Sunday, they couldn’t smoke, or dr ink... there were 10 or 12 things they couldn’t do if they wanted to stay here,” Kate said. She added that the area was hard to settle because bears and wolves roamed freely. She also said that the Congregational Church was modeled after a Vermont church. “I love history and probably some day, I would like to go there (Vermont).” Kate will serve as grand marshal of the Maple Syrup Festival Parade, set to take place at 2 p.m. on April 26 down Vermontville’s main street. _ j.TLL Entry deadline for the seventh annual Eaton County “Getting To Know You-th Day” at Fitzgerald Park in Grand Ledge is May 1.

April 8, 1966 — Page 6 Half a century of making syrup puts local man in spotlight by Shelly Sulser A tradition he fears is dying out has been a con­ sistent part of the life of 64year-old Gerald Lundstrum, a man who has been making maple syrup each season since he was a child. “I started helping my dad when I was just a little kid,” recalls the lifelong Ver­ montville area farmer. Lundstrum remembers that at that time, “there used to be sugar bushes on every farm when I was a kid. Now, we’re the only ones back this side...the only ones I know of anyway.” Gerald and Leola Lundstrum, who live together on their 300-acre Kinsel Rd. farm of 42 years, are both featured in photographs in Michigan Natural Resources Magazine’s March-April edition, along with an article that explains the syrup making process and tells of the history of Vermontville. Gerald Lundstrum has been tapping the same maple trees and usin the same sugar shanty since he was a young boy. fTnnTnTTnTTnnTTrnTffTTTnTTTnTTnTnTnnnflTTnTTTTTTTnnTnnnT Phone 945-9554 for ACTION-ADS!!!

Trowbridge Service 130 S. Main St., Vermontville - Ph 726-0569 "... there used to be sugar bushes on every farm when I was a kid. Now, we’re the only ones back this side..." In the magazine, Lundstrum is shown alongside his syrup evaporator testing the density of the product in the making, in a double-page spread color photograph. In addition, his wife and part­ ner in the business, Leola, is also pictured pouring the fresh syrup into the gallon containers. Also pictured are other Vermontville syrup makers, the Coreys. Having tapped the same 35-acre sugar bush since his childhood, Lundstrum now regrets that more youth have not shown interest in carrying on the age-old tradition that made Ver­ montville famous for its quality, home grown maple syrup. “I don’t know what’s going to happen,” said Lundstrum with a detectable tone of worry. “Very, very, very, few young people are getting into it these’days.” But having had a suc­ cessful operation over the years, Lundstrum shows his pride in the fact that in his life the tradition has thrived for over 50 years. “He’s always enjoyed the outdoors,” says Leola of her husband. “He likes to fish, hunt and trap...he’s.quite an outdoorsman.” In fact, both are so dedicated to their syrup operation, they park their travel trailer right in the woods next to Lund­ ' strum’s homemade sugar shanty located one mile from their home, on Mason Road, and live there during tapping season. “We’ve done that for about 30 years now,” Lundstrum noted, adding that there are advantages to being right in the heart of the whole process. “When it gets cold and I’m sitting here in the house, I can’t tell if the sap is run­ ning, but if I’m in the woods, I can tell and when I’m done at night, I don’t have to come home. I have a convenient place to relax and recuperate from the work,” he said.

Lundstrum noted the sap only ran for three weeks this season. “There have been quite a few bad seasons,” he noted, recalling 194Q. when the sap only ran for one week. “We started one Sunday and by the next Saturday, we were done.” But just because Lundstrum has been at it for halfa-century doesn’t mean he is an expert. And, he admits it. “The thing about syrup making is the longer I work at it, the less I know,” he said a bit puzzled. “Because as soon as I think I’ve got it figured out, something changes. With Mother Nature, you never know what she is going to do next.” Both Gerald and Leola work alongside one another to make the operation run s’moothly. Altoughh Gerald has been involved in the process his entire life, it is a different story with Leola. “I never knew anything about it until we got married,” she said smiling. “I came from Grand Ledge...1 didn’t know what-I was getting into!” But because both are so dedicated to making a good quality product together, both are also dedicated to each other. “If something happened to me, I don’t believe she would keep it up, and if something happened to her, I wouldn’­ t,” Lundstrum said. At present, however, Lundstrum admits he is beginning to tire of the process he has been so dedicated to. “I don’t know if I will even make syrup next year,” he said. “It’s a lot of work.” Lundstrum realizes that the physical exertion it takes to empty 685 sap buckets and produce 350 gallons of syrup is beginning to wear on him. But the answer to why he has maintained even until now comes easy to him. “It helps to be a little crazy I think and it kinda gets in your blood—you have to like it or you wouldn’t do it,” he said. “It isn’t as fun as it used to be. It’s a lot of work and anyone who doesn’t recognize the work hasn’t done it.” As to the theory that you don’t wash the buckets until the following season, Lundstrum says “we clean when we get done rather than wait until the next year...you don’t put the dishes away dirty, do you?” The syrup season ended early for all area syrup makers, including Gerald Lundstrum who is shown removing buckets from the trees to close out the 1986 season. Leola Lundstrum is pictured in this magazine photograph bottling the freshly made syrup. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Tuesday, April 8, 1986 — Page 7 Breaking-and-entering trial set for local man on May 12 Postal patrons unhappy with service by Shelly Sulser Fifty-nine of 64 Rural Route 1 residents ap­ proached have signed a petition opposing the type of mail service they have been receiving, Vermontville postal customer Linda Mingus said. A five-year resident of 199 Fourth Street, Mingus cir­ culated the petitions and told members of the village council Thursday that despite her continued complaints filed against a Vermontville mail carrier, no action has been taken at the local or state level. In a letter she has sent to the Office of Consumer Affairs Customer Service Department of the United States Postal Service in Washington D.C., Mingus recounts three separate “unsatisfactory” incidences with her carrier. Mingus complained in the letter that her carrier allegedly awakened Mingus early one morning to tell her that her mail had been dropped on the ground and it wasn’t the carrier’s job to pick it up. “When I went out to pick up my mail, I discovered that (the carrier) hadn’t taken the mail I had put in the box to be sent,” Mingus states. Mingus said Friday that “at first I went to the post office and talked to the former postmaster (Lawrence Frith). He handed me a complaint form and said ‘fill it out.’ I did and nothing happened.” Mingus said Frith told her to “give the lady a break” and that (the carrier) would be retiring soon. “It was the postmaster Who retired a short time later,” said Mingus. After two other incidences where the carrier allegedly refused to deliver mail to the Mingus residence, Mingus said she approached the new postmaster to file another complaint, but was told the complaint forms could not be found. “He (postmaster Vic Haas) told me that because (the carrier) is a union member, filing a complaint would be useless. We discussed the petition to express our opinions. He said that wouldn’t help either. He did say he would talk to the carrier again,” Mingus’ letter states. Haas, in a telephone in­ terview, denied that he made the statement that “filing a complaint would be useless.” “That’s not what I said. I said she should file a com­ plaint and that I would try and iron out the problem,” Neil & Gloria Spidel have purchased Pat’s Sugar Hut Cafe in Vermontville It will be known as... — Neil’s Restaurant — We will open Wednesday, April 9th Hours will be 7 a.m. ■ 7 p.m. Mon.-Sat.

However, “I did say that there was not a lot of use in getting petitions because you have to bring it (the matter) to us. It’s better to file a complaint.” Although Mingus claims to have 59 signatures of people displeased with their mail service and has urged them to file complaints with the post office, Haas said he has “handled only one complaint on the situation.” Also, Haas said in some cases, mail is not delivered because the boxes of some customers are not ser­ vicable, because they are too low. “So it’s not necessarily the carrier’s fault,” he said. Haas added that the carrier has been employed by the Vermontville post office for four years and would be eligible for retirement in one to one-anda-half years. He also noted that the complaints have been reviewed and the situation straightened out. Mingus said that when taking her petition to Route 1 residents, she asked them to list their name, address and complaint. “One lady said she lost her payroll check and another time she delivered bonds to the wrong person,” Mingus g?

As a result, Mingus sought assistance from the Ver­ montville village council in forwarding a letter to Washington concerning the matter. “The concerned people of Rural Route 1 in Ver­ montville, Michigan have many more stories very similar in nature, and have signed the enclosed petition, useless or not, in an effort to demonstrate that the unsatisfactory mail service we claim is a widespread and ongoing problem,” Mingus’ letter states. “This is a federal issue,” she later said. The council did agree to forward the letter on Mingus’ behalf to indicate,to authorities that Mingus appealed to them for help, although the council takes no stand on the issue. “I don’t want to see the lose (a) job,” said Mingus. “I would just like to see a change (in) attitude.” CADILLAC AREA, 50 ACRES, re­ creational land (or would be ideal tree farm), borders Man­ SEE THIS ONE!!

This was 14 days after the surrender at Appamatox.” Rogers was a member of Croxton’s brigade, in General Wilson’s command.

I would dare say not one of these persons have really gone through the Muskegon prison as was offered to them last month to find out what we are striving for, or else their facts would not be based on prison cell bars, brutality, making license plates, being held in a sec­ tion hidden from visitor’s at gun point, as to not create a violent scene. I will state now. I, like the majority of the residents, was just as con­ cerned for the safety of our village, the problems that might arise creating the devaluation of our property, the ugly building standing out like a sore thumb as relating to out-dated prisons. Because of my fears I wanted to see for myself, before I voiced any opinions for, or against having a prison built in the village I live in. After viewing the prisons, speaking to the inmates and employees as 22 other concerned residents of Eaton County had done, I feel now there are 23 people living in the area who can speak out the true facts concerning the type of facility we want here in Vermontville. People, wake up! Quit listening to your neighbor, find out for yourself, then make your decision. This is 1986 not 1900. You also have the freedom to inquire and find out for yourselves. Do not become a prisoner of your own mind. Do not base your fears on prisons like Ionia, Jackson and Marquette. This is the reason we traveled 100 miles to Musekgon, and not the 30 miles to Ionia. We wanted to tour the exact type of prison the state proposes to build in Eaton County. It’s going to be built somewhere in Eaton County. I ask now. Why not Ver­ montville?

Nashville, Tuesday, April 8, 1986 — Page 12 Vermontville hunt was egg-citing The sun was shining nicely as Maplewood’s morning and afternoon kindergarten students eagerly gathered by the Vermontville village park. It was the last day of school before spring break and the kids had heard that the Easter Bunny had come to Vermontville early this year. They opened up their bags decorated with colored eggs and bunnies and quickly crossed the street. The hunt was on!! There were eggs everywhere! blue ones, orange ones and even candy filled eggs. After finding their eggs, the "Children stopped at the swing set where the Easter Bunny’s helpers Cadet Girl Scout troop No. 634, had gifts for each child, and a bag of Easter candy. There were books, stuffed animals, jump ropes, balls and other fun toys. Five children found extra­ lucky eggs for special prizes. Bethany Sleeper and Glenda Lamb both found $5 eggs. Greg Shook found the $2 egg, and Holly Jo Carrigan found the $1 egg. Mindy Powers found the egg for the small Easter basket. It had a coloring book, candy and other goodies in it. Jonathan Coblentz found the last hidden egg and received the big Easter basket. It had lots of candy, a book and a stuffed animal in it. After thanking the Girl Scouts and showing off their prizes, the happy children headed back to school to await the bell, signaling the beginning of spring break.

The Michigan House has voted to put the bills into conference committee where conferees will work to iron out the differences in the House and Senate versions of the package. The Legislature has been dealing with the issue for nearly eight months. A significant breakthrough came when House Republicans sponsored an amendment to House Bill 5154 that called for a modified cap on awards granted to victims. Co-sponsored by Representatives Bill Van Regenmorter (R-Jenison) and Mike Nye (R-Litchfield) the amendement was designed to help reduce frivolous lawsuits and send an important message to all parties that lawmakers intend to reduce liability costs. The amendment, which passed on a 61-49 vote, would Riaalife (fafe NK-37MMI ’ put a $250,000 cap on non­ economic damages, with three exemptions - in cases of death, serious impairment of body function or per­ manent serious disfigurement. In these instances the award decision would be made by a jury. Although the amendment passed, the House did not concur in a Senate-amended version of the bill, and it was one of the eight bills sent into the conference committee. A great deal of work is still necessary before liability insurance reform is a reality. I am hopeful that we can resolve the issue when spring sessions resumes. Legislation Would Save Senate Millions By Reducing Medicaid Fraud Legislation recently in­ troduced in the Michigan House would save the state approximately $2 million to $4 million annually by reducing medicaid fraud and abuse. The bill (House Bill 5382) is aimed at reducing medicaid fraud and abuse among health care providers by allowing the state to be more aggressive in prosecuting such cases. The legislation would give the state the right to seek repayment from a health care provider who has claimed bankruptcy. It would also speed up the court process for hearing fraud cases by shortening the length of time such a case may be adjourned. Most physicians are honest professionals who have a genuine interest in serving the public and providing health care for senior citizens and low-income individuals, but there are some who abuse the medicaid system. It’s that small number of providers that this legislation is aimed at. The bill would extend the statue of. limitations on medicaid fraud cases if necessary to complete an investigation. In addition, physicians who have inap­ propriately prescribed treatment as determined by a group of peers would be required to reimburse the state. The legislation would also require the provider to pay interest on an improper billing if the state is suc­ cessful in prosecuting the fraud Case. Supporters hope the bill will draw attention to those fraudulent providers who abuse the system. We often hear about the recipient who is abusing medicaid but the big dollars are lost to those providers who make im­ proper billings and inap­ propriate treatments. New herbicide improves velvetleaf control in soybeans agent says by Roger A. Betz, Extension Agriculture Agent Velvetleaf can be controlled nearly 100 percent in soybeans with a new her­ bicide currently under review by the En­ vironmental Protection Agency, (EPA). This is a significant improvement over control offered by currently available products. “The performance of the new herbicide, Command, was compared with that of other commercially available herbicides, and it was found to be the most effective at controlling velvetleaf in soybeans,” say crop and soil science graduate student Kurt Thelen and Extension weed specialist Jim Kells, both from MichiganState University. Michigan farmers responding to a survey said velvetleaf is the worst weed to control in soybean fields. Even under the best con­ ditions and with multiple applications conventional herbicides give only a 80 to 90 percent control. At an ap­ plication rate of % pound per acre or higher, Command gave almost complete velvetleaf control, Thelen says. Better results in con­ trolling the weed were also obtained by using a standard herbicide tank mix and adding as little as a % pound of Command per acre, Thelen added. If approved by the EPA, Command could be on the market by spring.

April 15, 1986 47th Syrup Festival celebrates Vermontville's J50 years A huge variety of exciting activities, good food and traditional family fun are all in store for visitors of the 47th annual Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival April 25-27. The festival, along with Vermontville’s sesquicentennial this year, guarantees to serve up a batch of longlasting memories as the two combine to commemorate the great taste of locally produced maple syrup. This year’s celebration will include the presentation of festival grand marshal Kathryn Bosworth-Houck and the crowning of festival queen Deana Hampton, as well as music, arts and crafts, syrup making demonstrations and carnival rides for all. The festival, first held in 1940, serves as an outlet for local maple syrup prducers to market their prducts which range from pure maple sugar candy to maple cream, in addition to syrup. 'The event is also an op­ portunity for visitors to learn how the golden nectar is made while they enjoy ac­ tivities in the historical setting of the New England style village. “The community is very old; older than the state of Michigan itself,” said the president of the Ver­ montville Maple Syrup Association, Stan Trumble. “And I think the festival is going to be bigger this year because of the sesquicentennial.” Trumble indicated that although local producers, as well as syrup producers nationwide, did not exactly have a bumper crop of syrup this spring, he does not expect it to affect festival attendance. Supplies of syrup also are expected to be sufficient to handle the demand. “We expect as big a tur­ nout as we’ve always had if not more,” he said. “We expect another great weekend.” Although most sesquicentennial activities will take place at different times after the festival, a grand parade theme, “150 Years of Great Taste” serves to kick-off the com­ munity’s celebration of its heritage during the fesival. A new feature of this year’s festivities will include a one-hour performance by the Grand Ledge Sweet Adelines beginning at 1 p.m. on Saturday, (April 26) on the Main Street outdoor stage. A Friday (April 25) talent show will officially open the festival at 6:30 p.m. at the downtown stage, and Crown Amusements will offer its Friday night special of $5 per person for all rides for sixhours. Saturday’s events will begin with a 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. arts and crafts show where over 100-arts and crafts hobbyists and professionals will offer their wares for sale at Maplewood Elementary School.

Township Vermontville Police Officer John Stidham stated Wednesday the two students overdosed in what he believes to have been two separate incidents.. Both the students are Nashville residents and were taken to Charlotte by the Vermontville Ambulance and the Nashville Ambulance shortly after the incidents occurred at about noon Tuesday. Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School Principal Burr Hartenburg said the two eighth-grade girls bad ob- tained caffeine pills from other students at school, who in turn got them, he believes, from a junior high age female student. “The pills originally came from the same source,” Hartenburg said. the Hartenburg said victims took several pills approximately containing 125 milligrams of caffeine each. “That’s the same as having about 30 cups of strong coffee,” Hartenburg said. In addition, he noted, one of the victims had drunk a soft drink also containing caffeine,, which in all, amounted to about “40 to 45 cups of coffee in one shot,” Hartenburg said. He noted the girl who sold the pills at the school has been suspended, and that the current investigation into the matter could result in her expulsion. Hartenburg he said believes the girls thought they were getting actual amphetamines when they bought the pills. Stidham said his in­ vestigation into the incidents involves interviewing wit­ nesses, talking to the victims and the victims’ parents. After our our investigation investigation ““After we’ll know whether or not any charges will come from it,” Stidham said. Hartenburg noted that it is possible the students would attend regular counseling sessions with a drug therapist in lieu of suspension from school. Recently, the school has been conducting a substance abuse awareness program which began in the junior high classes last fall and is currently being conducted in the senior high. Drug Therapist Charlene Cottrell of the Barry County Substance Abuse Services spoke to the seventh and eighth grade students in their classes last fall, to introduce decision making, how to say “no” to drugs and alcohol, and developing more self esteem. But despite efforts by the school to curb drug and alcohol usage, Hartenburg stated that “it’s all just come to a head here in the last week or so.” He said students become somewhat saddened when classmates are harmed by the substance abuse, but others think they are “dumb because they got caught,” said Hartenburg. “They just think, ‘it will never happen to me’ and they keep on having parties where there are drugs and drinking. “Yes, they feel it’s un­ fortunate but it’s not going to happen to them, they think,” Hartenburg stated. He added that he thought one reason students continue to use drugs or knowingly overdose OVERDOSE, conf, on page 2 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 15, 1986 — Page 2 Prison issue meeting planned in Vermontvill e by Shelly Sulser Members of Vermontville and its surrounding com­ munities will have an op­ portunity one-week from today to have their questions answered concerning the proposed building of a medium security state prison in the village. The Vermontville Village Council has announced that a public meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, April 22 at 7 p.m. to be held in the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School auditorium to discuss the matter with state prison officials. The prison issue first surfaced at a Feb. 6 meeting of the Vermontville Village Council when trustee Russ Bennett presented his idea of building a prison in or near the village, in view of recent concern for Vermontville’s future financial status. At that time, Bennett said he had talked with state prison officials Ed Mark­ wart, James Curren and Bill Kime and reported to the council that: —The village could realize $3.5 million in annual revenue from the possible 550-bed system; —The prison could employ nearly 150 people, half of which would live in the immediate area of the facility; —Preliminary steps before deciding to build a prison would involve an extensive feasibility study by the state to determine where it should be built and where the public stands regarding the proposal; —A minimum of 40 acres is needed. Since then, the council has made the effort to schedule a public meeting (April 22) with the state authorities and has participated in a tour of the Muskegon State Prison facility. As a result of the council’s decision to pursue the matter, however, there have been mixed reactions by residents of the village and surrounding areas. Repercussions by citizens have come in the form of Nashville Christian Academy KINDERGARTEN — ROUNDUP — Wednesday, April 16 • 9 a.m ; j at the...

The council has been accused by those hoping to thwart the building of prison in the area, c£ proceeding in favor of building the facility in Vermontville without the support of the community. To that accusation, the pressed some fear of prisoners who may escape. Most recently, Doug Janousek, who gathered the names of 40 individuals against the proposal told the council April 3 that “...it is going to affect the quality of life in the community...it would take away from what the community has already. Although there have been numerous discussions with the council regarding the matter, the council claims that it does not know all the answers and has scheduled the public meeting in an effort to satisfy the concerns of the local citizens.

Concerning the overdose incidents, Hartenburg said the pills are “quite common caffeine derivatives” that are readily available to the kids who are “less knowing who think they are getting regular speed or am­ phetamine drugs.” Had the girls taken actual “speed”, the results of the overdoses could have been considerably more life threatening. “Kids buy them on the bus or between classes, during noon hour or during 10 minute break,” Hartenburg noted. “They know what kids are the sources of pills” Concerning last Tuesday’s incidents, Hartenburg said, “maybe this will open people’s eyes a little bit that we do have some problems.” s^es �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 15, 1986 — Page 3 iRnnnmnnfflTnnfflmnnnnTnnnmnffl!^ Obituaries Hill III 11 n n hi im min in tun ssfeS sfeS aSj&J ts§aa ; s S?5 See a a "Wsi h,T’ S.ffl 1tossi ■not ’ lai^natijf atijf t j. ■ate '“Wirtuta fckj * a BiOta* a BimMt, Sitete ®ky. “toWsiitih ijiW ** feta^n A2»_ ■jktfrttii “■ f™ lamin’ ■t 1'"a (tan^ltom ■ is iria&IHip bi# teplrt^B 111 tjfata&S’l till nrafijmitok fn cittour'o itottat teyrtpl replar s^ s^’1 |X1 jtaate IBS.

Roosevelt and the succesion of Harry S. Truman; the killing of belov­ ed American war correspon­ dent Ernie Pyle by machine gun fire on a tiny Pacific island; the suicide of Hitler and Germany’s unconditional surrender of Allied forces; the introduction of atomic war­ fare with two A-bombs that brought Japan to its knees and effected an almost im­ mediate surrender; the death of General George S. (“Old Blood and Gut”) Patton, etc. On the homefront, 1945 saw the elimination of some war production controls, a cut in sugar rationing, the end of gasoline rationing. Locally, as the year drew to a close, lives a were returning to semblance of normal for families of returning ser­ vicemen and women. Sadly, in a few homes of the communi­ ty there would be no happy reunions, for Nashville had nine Gold Stars to add to the town’s War Honor Roll board in Central Park. And there were other, less dramatic changes in Nashville during the year that World War II ended. With 1946 looming on the horizon Nashville News editor­ publisher Donald F. Hinderliter took a look at his town’s Main Street and noted those changes in the following piece which appeared in the issue of December 27,1945. In it we find not only a detailed account of property and business transfers for that year, but also a comprehen­ sive and caring account of the comings and goings of Main Street personnel. “Of course nothing ever happens in Nashville — nothing really momentous like a bank robbery or an ear­ thquake — but when you pause at the end of a year and look back, you have to admit we have a little excitement. Probably the real first-rate news stories of the year, at least from the angle of a dai­ ly reporter, could be counted on the fingers of one hand, but there are a few little items each week that are news to the citizens of Our Town. That’s what counts, after all. “Looking thru the last 52 issues of the News to throw together a Chronology of the year’s events in Nashville, we were struck by the fact that Main Street has undergone a great many changes — more than one realizes because they have been so gradual. Just take a mental trip up and down Main Street and you’ll have to admit the picture has changed a bit during 1945. “A year ago Ward Butler was manager of the local of­ fice of the Central National Bank. Now he is managing the Standard Stamping Com­ pany and C.L. (Cy) Palmer is in charge ofthe bank. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Ledbetter bought Flo theatre. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Pennock sold their Blue Inn to the Alfred Wagers; Jean Bentley moved her Mar-Jean Beauty shop into the back of Bob’s Barbershop and chang- ed in T. Munro had chalked up 40 years as a Main Street merchant when 1945 ended. A native of Canada, Munro bought the former Brumm grocery from C. L. Glasgow in 1905, and for a number of years specialized in home delivery of grocer•®s ^ors? anc* wa9on- He operated the store until his death in I960, earning it the distinction of being Nashville's longest one-owner business in the same location. Many other Main Street businesses, however, experienced changes the year that World War II ended. . {Photo by Gladys Miller Richardson) When 1945 drew to a close, the most dramatic and heart-rendering change on Nashville's Main Street was the addition of nine Gold Stars to the community s Honor Roll board in Central Park. As listed in The Nashville News, those '°^a' men lost in service during World War II were: James H. Swift, Carson L. Ricks, Neil L. Kidder, Wesley R. Vandenberg, Victor Hoffman, Marvin L. Goodson, Raymond E. Green, Stuart N. Guy and Nyal Pennock. Wings had to Be added to the original board to accommodate the names of all of those in service. ed the name to La-Jean Shop. “After nearly 50 years on Main Street Joe Hurd sold his garage and business to Chester E. Winans (but the name will remain unchang­ ed); Adolph Douse, Jr., became junior partner to Von Furniss in the drug firm of Fumiss & Douse. “Harry Johnson quit his job with Ralph Hess in 1945 and took over a rural mail route. Charles Courser took his place last spring and now has left to return to Grand Rapids; Muri Cobb became another new Hess employee and is still on the job. Over at Keihl Hardware Ray Hagger­ ty has left and Ralph Hum­ phrey and George Place have gone on the payroll during the year. “There have been numerous changes among the clerks in the stores up and down The Street. New faces include “Bing” Wenger and Louise Wilcox at Spohn’s Sunnyside Market, Mrs. Cliff Rich at Diamante’s, Mabel Furlong and Doris Dull at the Kroger store. Louie Diamante was in Germany last year at this time; now he’s back on the job. Others who were civilians last year are in service now. “Up at Food Center Lawrence Hecker took offhis butcher’s apron and left for army service Peggy Mead took over the meat depart­ ment with Mrs. Gail Lykins assisting. A little later store manager Ivan Babcock followed suit and his wife Phyllis stepped into the job of grocery manager. Betty Hecker became cashier and Bill Martin, veteran Elevator employee, took over as stock man. “In the bank Mrs. Lawrence Hecker and Eloise Day now hold forth where Freida Hecker and occasionally Mrs. Ed Kane used to stand behind the grilled windows. Mrs. Ethel Mapes and Mrs. Gladys Miller can be found nowadays at Mi-Lady Shop and you will find different gals behind the two soda fountains than were there last year when you did your holiday coke-sipping. “Brett’s Thveran has chang­ ed hands during the year, hav­ ing been sold by Smith R. “Gus” Brott to his two brothers, George and “Tbny”. The South End Service station and grocery changed hands twice and is now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Louie Straub. “During the year Bob Har­ ris moved his Modern Shoe Repair shop across the street to the old Hale building and then later closed his shop and sold the building to the Autrys and took a job at Lentz Table company. C.E. Mater sold his property next door to the Hess furniture store to Mr. and Mrs. Furlong and bought the Reynolds place further south on Main Street, moving his residence and real estate of­ fice to more spacious quarters. Fred Baker’s “Place” is must a memory and Fred himself is dead and gone these two months. Leland Weaks now operates Lee’s Cut Rate variety story in the building Fred last occupied. “Earl Hoffman, who was on the sick list at this time last year, has been back at the plumbing and heating trade these many months and now has his son Kenneth back from overseas and helping him. Our other plumber, Charlie Betts, may have a helper too before long. His son Bob is home with his discharge and considering a job with his dad. “Louis Carter has quit the Standard Oil Company and Walter Kent is the new agent here. During 1945 Elmer Greenfield retired as local agent for the New York Cen­ tral and died not many weeks afterward. He was succeeded by P.C. Wood, who still holds the position. “The George Mayvilles have sold the Main Cafe to Mr. and Mrs. Victor Henney; Leslie Shaffer has quit as plant superintendent and treasurer of Standard Stamp­ ing. Colin T. Munro recently celebrated his 40th anniver­ sary in business on Main Street and before many years “Ab” Mason can mark the same number of years at the News office. Afterthought: Another something new add­ ed during the year is Mrs. Rose Marie Skidmore, who joined the News staff last June and is still holding down the front office.” Maple Valley grad now at West Point From left are Dean, Harold, Susan Lightner and Kevin; Sharon is seated. Photo supplied by U.S. Army Cadet Harold D. Stewart, a 1985 graduate of Maple Valley High School, took part in the annual Plebe-Parent Weekend here at the U.S. Military Academy March 12-16.

The relatives and friends of plebes (freshman) are invited to West Point for Plebe-Parent Weekend to tour the grounds, meet with staff and faculty members and learn first-hand about the regimen followed by the academy’s newest cadets.

I don’t understand why the Village of Vermontville is trying to put a prison in our township when we don’t want it. Now the township wants us to pay for a building in the village. These may all be good ideas, but I feel we should take a look at the needs of this area before we put our tax dollars into a building such as the Opera House...how about having some fundraising bake sales or something to raise money instead? We need to build our children and train them for the future. If we can’t do that, we don’t need a township or a village. We need to find money for the building somewhere else. As for a prison, if the village wants it, put it right down­ town so they can see it. I don’t feel the village has the right to even think of putting it out of the village. I don’t think they want it in the village, so the best idea would be to forget it all together. Why is it that the minority of people rule? Please don’t let this happen here without a vote of the people. I think instead of sending out housing survey study sheets, the village com­ mittee should’ve sent out a survey to see what we, the Insurance Too High ? CALL — 945-9506 or 726-0078 Ask for... DICK TODD people, think of the prison issue. If that’s all some people want is improved roads - I’m sure the roads can be improved without a prison. And I’m sure having a prison is not going to give many local people jobs because they will have to hire all the laid off (unem­ ployed) state workers first. I would like to see the people instead put some effort into helping our schools. The children need a better education but all we want to do is cut the money for that. The Athletic Boosters and Band Boosters have been doing a great job of paying our bills so our kids can do what we did when our Fathers were paying the way. A one-mill tax increase would take care of this. Even more important are the repairs needed to our school buildings, both minor and major. I would like to see the money for all this, but I know we won’t, and I don’t want to have a prison to pay for it because I feel the school district we have now will no longer exist if people leave this area and have no kids left to have a school. Then they’ll just bus whatever kids are left to some bigger school district. By the way, the death penalty for all murderers would take care of the overcrowding of prisons so you wouldn’t need extra prisons that pamper people that kill others! Amen! But it is “time we do our share” to support our chidren in their future. Thank You. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Reid 9841 Nashville Hwy.

(4-30) Several art students at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School have art work currently on display at the 39th Mid-Michigan Youth Talent Fair being held Sunday, April 13 through Friday, April 18 at the Lansing Civic Center. This arts and crafts exhibit, sponsored in part by Oldmobile, offers thousands of students each year in grades five through twelve the opportunity to enter their original artwork in the talent fair. Maple Valley students have entered work in the following categories: crafts, creative writing, drafting, drawing, needlecraft, painting, leathercraft, graphic design, sculpture and woodworking. All en­ tries will be judged by teams of independent adult experts. Ribbon awards are given by the Lansing State Journal to winners chosen by the judges. Maple Valley Art Teacher Marianne Martin noted, “I would like to take this op­ portunity to invite the communities of Ver­ montville and Nashville to visit this exhibit.” She added that residents of both communities can be a part of the drive for a strong art program at Maple Valley. “Support for the arts is essential.” In addition, Martin noted that “my students have spent long, hard hours preparing for this show. They have strived to create unique sculptures. Their wildlife paintings and drawings are exquisite. “These young, talented and gifted students take of the world its lines and tex­ tures, its balances and movements and spaces; they combine all these into a beautiful statement of what it is to be human,” Martin said. “I would like to see Maple Valley people at the Civic Center.” It's a boy Mr. and Mrs. Larry Musser are rejoicing over the birth of a new grandson, Kyle Jonathan, bom April 9 to David and Joy Musser.

Renting fits a mobile America’s style. When you rent, you may have attractive surroundings, tended grounds and on-call maintenance. And you have the freedom to move as your heart or your job takes you—without all the hassles of selling a house. Although you have all these convenient luxuries, you also have many of the same liability and personal property risks as a homeowner. That’s why Auto-Owners Apartment Dwellers Insurance protects the contents of your apartment from loss due to theft, vandalism, fire, water, wind and other losses. It protects you and your family if someone else is injured in an apartment accident. And if something should happen to your apartment, Auto-Owners pays for your living quarters until you can return to your own apartment. Just ask your “no problem” Auto-Owners agent about Apartment Dwellers Insurance. It’s a good way to insure peace-of-mind. Nancy and Laurie are on vacation.

Tuesday, April 15, 1986 — Page 6 Council meets with Townships regarding police protection by Shelly Sulser Although Nashville village officials last week requested Castleton and Maple Grove townships to begin reim­ bursing the village for emergency police calls made to the townships, no action was taken by either board. Village President John Hughes reported at the regular village council meeting last week that “we (Hughes, trustee Carl Tobias and acting police chief Gene Koetje) didn’t say ‘if you don’t pay us we’ll stop making runs to the town­ ships’ — we just presented it to them as something to consider.” Police protection by the village in the townships first became an issue at a March 13 meeting of the village council when Acting Police Chief Gene Koetje presented the idea before the board. Koetje claims costs to answer police calls outside the village are not covered by the townships and that while the village police car is responding outside the village limits, the village is left without police protec­ tion. He noted the village responds outside the village when a Barry County Sheriff’s Department car cannot immediately respond, and will stay on the scene until the sheriff’s car arrives. “We tried to bring it to both township boards to explain to them, ‘this is the situation — we want you to think about it,” Hughes said. “They’re supposed to get back to us...I was left with the impression in both cases that they would at least consider it” Hughes said the boards inquired as to how much it would cost to put a man in a car on the road. “We told them about $40 per hour but we just pulled that figure out of the air,” Hughes said.

Koetje suggested one solution to curb the village costs for police would be to consider forming a joint village-township police department such as die fire and ambulance departments are funded. Although neither board took action concerning the matter, Castleton Township did agree to refer the issue to the county supervisors who will meet and discuss the situation April 15.

Of course, even good neighbors, like family members, will have an occasional disagree­ ment about something; but they will always make every effort to reach a peaceful settlement. How­ ever, Canada and the United States can be thankful that their main arenas of conflict are such places as the baseball park and the hock­ ey rink! In other areas, they try to show their mutual friendship and respect for each other’s lifestyles, even though they may differ somewhat. Our House of Worship teaches us to be a good neighbor at all times, and our continent-wide un­ guarded boundary line is a fine example of this that all the other nations of the world would do well to follow. That long frontier... is an example to every country and a pattern for the future of the world. — Winston Churchill “All the law is fulfilled in one word ...Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." — Galatians 5:14 • 852-1985 • Trowbridge Service ■ AUTO SERVICE CENTER 130 S.

The landmark legislation provides for the labeling and safe handling of chemicals in the workplace. The new law will also provide local fire chiefs with information regarding hazardous chemicals in workplaces where they may be called upon to fight fires or provide emergency services. AUTO RESTRAINT LAW SAVING LIVES - State officials have announced that the child restraint law, which took effect April 1,1982, has helped reduce deaths and injuries to children under 4 by 24 percent. That translates into an estimated 522 children a year not injured because they were buckled up. JUVENILE OFFENDER BILLS INTRODUCED - Four bills (House Bills 5457 through 5460) tightening the laws covering juvenile offenders have been introduced in the Michigan House. The legislation would require that young offenders charged with serious crimes be detained in a locked, guarded and separate facility. It would also expand court jurisdiction. Current law gives the Department of Social Services jurisdiction over young offenders until age 19, when they must be released. The bills would transfer jurisdiction to the courts and extend it to age 21. HOUSE APPROVES ORGAN TRANSPLANT BILL - A bill that would regulate organ donations for transplant has been approved by the state House and forwarded to the Senate. The legislation (House Bill 4965) creates a state policy for hospitals to actively seek organs for transplants. It would require hospital personnel to ask the family of a dead or dying person for donation of body organs. Before a family was approached, the family would have to determine whether the organs were suitable for donation. Hospitals would designate one person who would talk with the family. SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS NEW WORKERS* COMP LAW - A sharply divided Michigan Surpeme Court has upheld a controversial 1985 law that would replace civil service employees who hear workers’ compensation appeals with magistrates appointed by the governor. The high court, on a 4-3 vote, ruled that the Legislature did not violate the state Constitution last July when it passed a bill to replace 39 state classified administrative law judges with 30 ap­ pointees to handle appeals by injured workers.

The Lions lost 8 starters from last season’s 18-5 team and return only 6 lettermen and 1 starter.. Still, first year coach Lonnie Spencer thinks there could be enough talent to contend for a third con­ secutive SMAA title. “Our goal is to compete for the league title, win 15 games, and hit .325 as a team,” said Spencer. Maple Valley’s lone returning starter is senior second baseman Ken Meade. Other lettermen counted on heavily by Spencer are senior catcher Jim Fuller, senior third baseman Greg Tilley, sophomore pitcher Scott Lenz, senior cen­ terfielder Mark Martin, and senior first baseman Brett Ramey. They’ll join newcomers Adam Brumm at pitcher, Matt McClelland inleft and Tai Gearhart at shortstop to form the nucleus ofthe team. Spencer said the fact most of the squad played together on the junior varsity team is a bonus. “We have good unity on this team,” said Spencer. “Most have played together plus we have 5 lefthander hitters. That’s a plus.” In fact, with Gearhart, Brumm and Tilley, Spencer said the team has the makings of a fine offensive club. The problem comes Maple Valley boys varsity track wins first conference meet After losing a double-dual meet to Potterville and Charlotte the Maple Valley boys pulled together in the last two events to squeak pass Bellevue 70 to 67. It was a close meet all the way and when it got down to the last two events Bellevue was leading 66 to 57. The two mile event was the next to with the pitching staff as Lenz saw little action as a varsity pitcher last year and Brumm saw no action at all.

In the 330 low hurdles Mike Cheeseman was hurt so we had to find a replacement for him in the mile relay team. Scott Carpenter was picked for the replacement. “Maple Valley already had a new man in the relay team that had not run a l/4 mile lap in a race this year and Scott had not practice it either,” said Coach Larry Ainsworth. The team con­ sisted of Marty Eye, Mark Bukoski, Paul Bahs, and Scott Carpenter. It was a good race all the way with Maple Valley taking the lead at first then Bellevue taking the lead in the third lap, and Maple Valley coming back to finish first.

Maple Valley softball coach Chris Ricketts has 7 returning letterwinners, 2 of which are pitchers. Ricketts said his team possesses 5 of 9 starters which can steal a base while fielding and hitting shouldn’t be problems. Success all boils down to whether Maple Valley gets the pitching. “If the pitching holds up, we’ll finish above .500,” said Ricketts, whose team finished 6-11 a year ago. "We’d like to think we’ll be in the race for the league championship.” Seniors Carol Lamie and Donna Ashcraft, last year’s Nos. 1 and 2 pitchers, return to share the mound duties. Also returning are senior third baseman Deb Corkins, junior rightfielder Diona Morawski, junior first baseman Shannon Wood­ worth, junior shortstop Beth Starring and sophomore catcher Dawn Morawski. Newcomers include seniors Beth McArthur (utilityman) and Lisa Hansen (second base), juniors Wendy Hummee (first) and Michelle Dickinson (first and out­ field), sophomore Sheri Forell (centerfield) and freshman Jennifer Fisher (second base). Forel and Fisher should start. Ricketts likes defending champion Bronson, with its fine all-around team, and Pennfield, with its pitching, to lead the chase for the SMAA championship. irnrffnnffffffnTffiTRTTnTnffHTnffffnfflTnnnTffnnnnnnnnT Sports miiii iiiiiiiiiiinimiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Members of the Maple Valley softball team Michelle Dickinson (back row) Deb Corkins, Carol (front row left to right): Sheri Forel, Beth McArthur, Lamie, Donna Ashcraft, Diona Morawski, Shannon Lisa Hansen, Jennifer Fisher, Wendy Hummee,Woodworth, Beth Starring, Dawn Morawski. Glory days in jeopardy for Lions boys tracksters The difference between last season’s Maple Valley track team and this spring’s version is as glaring as night and day. As different as Boy George and Frank Sinatra or steak and hamburger. Gone are 12 seniors — 7 of which qualified for the Class C state meet — who helped sweep Maple Valley to an SMAA title, losing but a single dual meet along the way. Left are only 4 retur­ ning lettermen. There is, however, one bright spot for the Lion squad: Maple Valley currently has 35 people on its roster, a number which has coach Larry Ainsworth thinking of a first division finish. “We have some in­ dividuals who can place first Make your furniture spring flower fresh.

I hope the young men stay with it long enough to see the light at the end of the tunnel. “It is very hard to come into a varsity sport in the ninth and tenth grades. In junior high they ran against boys their own age or a year older, but up here it’s a different story.” Ainsworth likes Pennfield and Bronson and possibly Olivet to grab the first three SMAA places, but after that the league is up for grabs. “Most of those teams have some outstanding boys coming back, but we have some kids too,” said Ain- ACTION-ADS FOR SALE: Roper bottle gas range, 30” $125.

At least the team does possess valuable experience, as head coach Gary Hamilton has 13 returning letterwinners which to build around — including 4 girls who are 3-year let­ terwinners. Still, Hamilton has no illusions as towhat his team can accomplish in 1986. “I’d be happy for .500,” he admitted. “If we can stay away from injuries we’ll be okay.” Hamilton points to seniors Lisa Franks in the sprints, Heather Christie in the sprints, Cass Davidson in the shot put and discus, and Jill Peake in the sprints as the team’s strongpoints. Also, Franks, Christie, Peake and Carmen Hamilton comprise the 440 relay team which finished fourth in the regional last year. Other returnees include Kristina Brewer in the 880, Wendy Thompson in the 440, Kelly Hoefler in the hurdles, Kim Bahs in the distances, Joy Hamilton in the 440, Kim Smith in the discus, Ronda Steinbrecher in the shot put and discus, Debbie Hull in the 880, and Hamilton in the sprints. Hamilton likes defending champion Bronson as the frontrunner in 1986 while Bellevue, Pennfield and Olivet fighting it out for second. He thinks the Lions could be in for a first division finish if things break right. “We finished fifth last year and I think a fourth place finish is realistic this year,” said Hamilton. M.V.

Doss, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Ser­ vice agricultural safety specialist. “Either the motorist did not see the equip­ ment or misjudged its speed on the roadway and/or the farm equipment was not suf­ ficiently equipped with warn­ ing devices.” He says the potential for most motor vehicle collisions with farm equipment can be reduced for less than $5. “State law requires that, at minimum, all farm equip­ ment on public roadways be equipped with a slow moving vehicle (SMV) sign, and that the SMV sign be placed at the end and near the center of the farm equipment being pulled or on the rear of the tractor, if it is not towing equipment,” Doss says. The law also states that when the SMV sign is placed on farm equipment, it must not be less than two feet but not more than six feet above the roadway. Doss says the SMV sign should be replaced about every three years or when its center turns yellow. A new SMV sign has a bright, fluorescent orange center. Ideally, the tractor will have bright, flashing, amber lights in use when it is on the road- >!'■ tii)iitn itactti ACTION-ADS |iME- taMif't is I® Hwialilr.

An added safety measure would be to mount a clear, flashing strobe light on the top of the tractor. “Some farmers resist these kinds of safety measures but have a different attitude after a motorist has run into the back of their equipment,” Doss says. Between 25 and 30 percent of the fatalities that result from collisions with farm equipment occur because farm equipment did not have proper lighting when it was on the roadway after dusk. Generally, however, most collisions occur when the motorist runs into the farm YOU CAN'T DO BETTER THAN JERRY BAKER, AMERICA'S > MASTER GARDENER, FOR SALE: Portable Hoover Coppertone washer $90.

'Battling Substance Abuse' is topic of School Board discussion by Shelly Sulser The Maple Valley Board of Education and the school district’s Parent-Teacher Organizations are planning to combine efforts in the near future to combat drug and alcohol usage by students, board President David Hawkins said Mon­ day. Following a decision by the board to expell an eighth grade female student who admittedly sold non­ controlled drugs as con­ trolled drugs (that lead to the overdose of two students two weeks ago), the board announced plans to im- plement drug-alcohol awareness programs at the elementary level. In reporting the overdose incidents to the board, Hawkins said that although both victims recovered, one nearly died in route to the hospital. “In relation to this, I’ll admit there is a problem with drug and alcohol abuse at Maple Valley,” Hawkins said. He said he discussed plans with Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School Assistant Principal Larry Lenz, Maplewood PTO President Sally Martin and Nashville PTO President Donna Garvey to possibly organize a field trip for sixth grade students to a drug rehabilitation center “to let them see what happens to people who use drugs.” He recommended the board fund 50-percent of the proposed sixth grade visitation-education and the two PTOs split the remaining 50 percent cost. “We need to explore this and see what we can do to eliminate this problem,” Hawkins said.

Loveland and Glen Wenger. resident Vermontville Hildred Peabody furnished the Maple Valley News with the 1942 festival program and also with an article that had appeared that year about the village in the Lansing State Journal. The article, by Journal staff writer Harold G. Lee, noted that the village “was settled by Vermonters, in the exact center of some of the finest ‘sugar-bush’ in Michigan ’'' and that “the village of Vermontville is carrying on a tradition that it inherited from its famous namesake — the annual production of the highest quality of maple syrup.” Vermontville Township credited was with “producing more maple syrup than any other township in Eaton County, and Eaton County is the largest producer, by far, of the delicacy, ofany county in Michigan,” the article stated. “That’s why the annual Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival brings hundreds of persons from all parts of Michgian and from some neighboring states to the village for a glimpse of one of the earliest pioneer processes engaged in by the pioneers of America,” Lee wrote. Vermontville Maple Syrup was selling for $2.50 to $2.75 per gallon in 1942. The Lansing State Journal article also gave a capsule ‘who’s who’ account of village govenment, the th school board and the community, stating that Arby Lovell was council president at that time. Irene Zemke was named as president of Vermontville’s Women's Club; Elam Rockwell as worshipful master of the Masonic lodge; Marjorie Slout, worthy matron of the Eastern Star; Don Kelsey and Carl Weiler as scout­ masters ofa boy scput troup; Dale Townsend as cub­ master; Bernard E. Allen as superintendent of schools (18-teachers were employed at that time for 475-pupils); Forrest Wilson as school board president; O.E. McLaughlin as publisher of the Vermontville Echo (forerunner of the Maple Valley News); and Vance Barber as chief of the volunteer fire department. Two doctors also were practicing medicine in Vermontville at that time: Dr. C.L.D. McLaughlin and Dr. L.D. Kelsey. This is a program from the April 4, 1942 Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival.

Nashville, Tuesday, April 22, 1986 — Page 4 Readers respond to old photos A letter from Adolph Douse, Jr., from Lakeland, Florida, apparently has solved the mystery of one photo publish­ ed in our Memories column February 18th. In that article we asked for reader help in identifying five early local photos. By far the greatest response came on a 1936 picture show­ ing a group of local women taken in what appears to be someone’s backyard. We had several phone calls on that one, plus a few letters. Each added at least one other name to the list. (When the photo was published we could name only one of the 21 ladies.) Until Douse’s letter arrived, however, we had no real clue as to the location or occasion. Wrote Adolph: “That picture was taken in back of the house I once owned where my mother lived for many years at 414 N. Queen Street, and now owned by the Ed Smiths. I recognize the clothesline pole, the maple tree and the garage. “The picture was taken looking to the north and the person taking the picture had to stand in the driveway of (the residence of) Dan Garlinger. My guess is that Mrs. Garlinger took the picture and that it is the WCTU group which was very active at that time. My mother is in the back row ; she was very active in this group... The Women’s Christian Temperance Union group was mostly from the Evanglical Church at that time, now joined with the Methodist Church,” he said. From various individuals we learned that the lady sit­ ting out front in the photo is Jennie Hill. Douse confirmed this and added: “She was the That may be Roy Wolf, Nashville truck farmer turned transporter, leaning out of the window of his jitney (at left). The one-armed Wolf, subject of a Memories story in 1981, started a service between Nashville and Battle Creek reputed to be the first bus line in the USA. None of the others in this photo from the Clara Hanneman estate has been identified. daughter of William Jarrard who lived on the corner of Lentz Street and Sherman Street. She was the mother of my friend Lee Myers; later married Art Hill and they liv­ ed on State Street, the first house north of (where) Mor­ ris Brown (now lives).” Adolph Douse also confirm­ ed the identity of Ella Thylor, the sole lady whose face we had recognized at the time of the photo’s publication in February. Douse added another name to the list, then concluded: “They most all look familiar to me and pro­ bably I did know tham all at one time. I may come up with more names yet.” Other folks who helped with idenfication of the group photo were Wayne Pennock, LaDuska Sheldon, Nelson Brumm, Beatrice (Hicks) Buchanan and her sister Edythe Klinkner, all of who spotted their mothers and/or grandmothers in the picture. We also had help from Iza Decker and Cecil Barrett. Many thanks to all these contributors. This unidentified family group turned out to be Mr. and Mrs. Marion Franks and children of Sunfield. She was the former Minnie Hummel, and is holding baby Roberta, who in recent years died in an auto accident in California. Standing between her parents is Mildred. From left in back row is Fay, who died in her late teens; Bill, now deceased, who resided in Sunfield; Lillian, who lived in Lansing until her death; and Eddie, believed to be still living in Detroit. Local relatives recognized the undated photo. In her letter Mrs. Klinkner, of Phoenix, Arizona, iden­ tified her grandmother Emi­ ly Mix, then added: “I have mentioned her before in my previous written articles (published in Memories) as the one with her husband Bate Mix owning the old hotel (Wolcott House) on the south end of Main Street, and they lived for many years after that in a stucco house next to it on the north... The others (in the picture) look so familiar but I can’t say their names nor why they were meeting. I suppose it could have been a WCTU or Methodist meeting of some kind.” . Mrs. Klinkner, whose sister Beatrice Buchanan of Grand When, where, what and whom? When this photo first appeared in this column in February, we knew only when it was taken (summer of 1936). Since then, with readers' help, we have learned positively where, probably what, and most of whom are seen in this Nashville ladies' group picture. Taken in the backyard of the present-day Ed Smith home at 414 N. Queen Street, it is probably a meeting of the local WCTU. The lady sitting out front of all the others is Jennie Hill. From left in the first row are Alice Pennock, un­ identified, Emily Mix, unidentified, Gertrude Lowell and Ella Taylor. From left in the back row are two unidentified ladies, Hattie Weaver, Cora Parks, Eliza­ beth Gage, Nellie Brumm, two more unknown women, Theresa Douse, Virginia Higdon, Eliza Bell, unidenti­ fied, Mary Townsend, and unidentified. Rapids also sent identification of her grandmother, has sent the photo on to California to her “Aunt Abbey,” who is the only surviving child of Emily and Bate Mix, in hopes of gaining further input. Edythe and Beatrice are daughters of the late Chancy and Mina Hicks of Nashville. Another sister, Dorothy, lives in Florida. Nashville’s librarian, LaDuska Sheldon, recognized her mother, Virginia Higdon, in the picture, and also her grandmother Eliza Ellen Bell, who was visiting here from North Dakota at the time. Another one of the uniden­ tified pictures featured in the February 18th piece showed a family group, obviously mother, father and children. On that one we received a call from Richard Hummel ofVer­ montville, who recognized his aunt, uncle and cousins: the Marion Franks family of Sun- field. Mrs. Franks was the former Minnie Hummel, a sister to Marion “Dutch” Hummel, father of Richard, and of Nellie Harvey of Nashville, who also recogniz­ ed her relatives and helped with the family data. Mr. and Mrs. Franks and children lived in a home near the ballfield in the village of Sunfield, which Richard and his sister remember visiting. Their Uncle Marion operated a threshing rig, working for farmers throughout the area, including the NashvilleVermontville vicinity. Names of the Franks children and their later whereabouts are noted in the photo caption on this page. Only one call came in on our unidentified “jitney” photo.

Efforts to get the copiers had been in the works for over six months, something all agreed was imperative. Each elementary school — Kellogg, Maplewood and Fuller Street received Canon NP 500 copiers, while the high school now uses a Canon NP 7550. Parents, teachers and students had all complained prior to purchasing the copiers that ditto copies were hard to read and some claimed poor copies could have contributed to low scores. The Maplewood PTO had 24 at 9 a.m. at the school to discuss and possibly decide what the $7,15.6.02 raised from candy sales will be used for. Some suggestions include buying a VCR camera and player, playground equipment, supplies for the copier, and next year’s sixth grade camp. ^^^^wnnnnrnnnrnnnninniiTnnfflnifflffnnnnn Eaton County Extension Memories of the past, continued front of the bus, but thought the vehicle looked a lot like the one belonging to Roy Wolf on which she occasionally us­ ed to ride from Nashville to Battle Creek. Wolf, who lost his right arm railroading at age 22, started a bus service from Nashville to Battle Creek in 1913, mak­ ing regular runs twice a day both summer and winter, if roads were clear. It was reputed to be the first automobile bus line in the USA, and was developed as a sideline to his truck farming operations. Wolfwas featured in a Memories story publish­ ed in June 1981. “Between the jitney and the trains, we used to have quite a lot of transportation around here in those days,” recalled Mrs. Showalter. She believes that Wolf, who died in 1936 at age 58, may be the gentleman wearing a white shirt and tie, and seen looking out of the jitney win­ dow at left in the undated photo. originally planned to pur­ chase a machine for the Maplewood office with money raised from candy sales, but the board agreed it was the responsiblity of the schools to pay for the copiers, not the PTO. As a result, a special Maplewood PTO meeting will be held Thrusday, April Adolph Douse, Jr., corrected our identification of one in­ dividual in a photo of the in­ terior of the old Glasgow hardware store that appeared in a recent Memories column. In our caption of the 1916 scene showing Cassius L. Glasgow and staff we named one man as Earl Hoffman. Douse said in his letter that the man is Clark Titmarsh. He knew him well. Wrote Adolph: “He is the man that I bought my home from back in 1937 when he moved to Allentown, Pa., to live with his daughter. He also was my Sunday School teacher when I was a boy and attended the Evangelical Church. He gave me a pair of cuff links as a prize for attending Sunday School for two years without missing a Sunday. I also was well acquainted with Earl Hoffman. He was a plumber and worked for Glasgow’s at that time, but that is not him in the picture.” Douse pointed out that Tit­ marsh also was an employee of Glasgow hardware CALENDAR OF EVENTS llliHliiiiiimiiiimmiimnniiiiiiiiniiHiimiiniiHinunmn, Tues., April 22 - 7 p.m. 4-H Dog Clinic, 4-H Budding, Fairgrounds.

Tuesday, April 22, 1986 — Page 7 M.V. students correspond with Finnish children by Shelly Sulser Students in Linda Andres’ fourth grade class at Maplewood School are learning about Finland, not from their teacher, but from those who know best about the country, Finnish people themselves. The Maplewood students have been corresponding with a class of Finnish youngsters in their same age category, and are in the process of exchanging in­ formation about their countries. Recently, the Maplewood fourth graders received a book, compiled by Finnish students, about Finland and the city of Vantaa. In return, the Maplewood students are also in the process of making a book about the United States that will include in­ formation on Michigan and a separate section on Ver­ montville. Andres said her class came to study Finland after she and her husband hosted a member of the Finnish Hot Air Balloon Team during Battle Creek’s World Hot Air Balloon Festival last year. The baloonist had a daughter that was 10-years-old and between he and Andres, the correspondence between his daughter’s class and Andres* class began. Since then, the Maplewood students have seen films about Finland, heard a Finnish exchange student speak to the class and received letters from the Finnish students. Maplewood fourth graders are corresponding with Finnish children and are compiling a book about the United States to send them. Some of Linda Andres students are shown here with artwork representing different parts of Michigan Front row, left to right are: Brad Balko, Joshua Sleeper, Brent Stine, Dan Martin and Alice Moore.

Roscoe, the event includes riders who will solicit pledges for each mile they ride their bike. Riders will compete for prizes such as Tshirts and gym bags based on the amount of pledges they collect. “The event includes more than bike rides. It also involves sponsors and even spectators. The day will be a lot of fun for everyone involv­ ed,” Rev. Roscoe said. Rev. Roscoe said the money raised from the event will help fund research that is sear­ ching for a treatment to pro- long the lives of children with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is the number one genetic killer of young people, but tremendous advances in research in the past year have brought the treatment for cystic fibrosis within sight. This year’s event honors Alex Deford, whose story is told on an ABC-Television movie Wednesday, April 23rd. Her short, courageous life has inspired riders acrossJhe na­ tion to take part in bike-athons to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. “This is a chance for everyone in Nashville to take part in a nationwide effort that can help wipe out a disease,” Rev.

Tuesday, April 22, 1986 — Page 13 A history of the Vermontville Girl Scouts Girl Scouting celebrates it’s 74th birthday as a national organization. It has had many changes in those years since that first troop of twelve girls met in Savannah, Ga. on March 12, 1912. Today nearly three million girls and adults participate in Girl Scout activities. Their activities have changed many times also over the years. Today’s girls master computer technology, learn about the environment and ecological balance, explore the universe and study career options. Still, “The Best Part’s the Fun” continues to be the reason so many join year after year. Vermontville Girl Scouts are a part of Michigan Capital Council, with its Service Center location in Lansing. The Council in­ cludes the three counties of Clinton, Eaton and Ingham. Local Scouts are in Area No. 14 which includes towns of Charlotte, Eaton Rapids, Potterville, Bellevue, Olivet and Sunfield. By alphabetical order, Ver­ montville is in Service Unit No. 144. During the war years of 1940’s, scouting did exist in Vemontville with Mildred Allen heading the local group. Not much in­ formation is available about those troops or leaders. Troops were believed to have registered for three to four years. Nineteen years ago in the fall registration of 1967 (registration year runs from October to October) three troops officially were formed again. These were Brownie Troop No. 153, Junior troop No. 313, and a Cadette troop No. 2Q5. Later other Brownie troops No. 355 and No. 244 were added and presently a Senior troop uses the number GIRL SCOUTS No. 205 and they are presently troop No. 634. It is hard to estimate the total number of girls who have been scouts in those years. Registration in its peak years went to 100 girls, today it is down to 44 girls. In order for troops to function properly, volunteer leaders, assistant leaders, consultants, committee people and interested adults must commit themselves. It involves many hours of on­ going training. They give of themselves in many ways to keep troops moving and growing. With today, April 22 being “Girl Scout Leader’s Day” it is fitting with this story to salute all of them. The list is very long of these present and past registered adults who have served. The number in parentheses will indicate they are still ser­ ving today and their years of service: Edith Swartz-49, Lois Hammond-2, Roz Lingholm4, Joan Hasselback-2, Dawn Balcom-1, Kathy Othmer-5, Jeri Baker-5, Connie Shutes3, Cindy Krokik-1, Joyce Rathburn-19, Sharon Mason5, Mary Carpenter-2, Janice Baker-18, Ytdanda McClure15, Carolyn Trumble-15, Linda Gaber-11, Donna Wyskowski-16, Esther Martin-5, Sheila Hart-4, Cheryl McClure-5, Dori Litchfield-2, Julie Swartz-3, Cindy Maurine-3, Ruth Ann Wawernia-1, Dottie Mc­ Dougal-1, Linda Sampson-1, Vera Viele (deceased), Charlotee Cowell, Dema Wright, Mary Fisher, Bev Kelley, Kathy Belmore, Juanita Mateer, Barbara Heald, Paulette Strong, Gloria Fassett, Jo Ann Zemke, Carol Kraai, Ann Samann, Mary Lehman, Janice Mahan, Kathy Nichols, Wiltsie Armstrong, Debby Stevens, Phyllis Webb, Sharon Purdy, Gert McCrimmon, Elazabeth Rathbun, Sheila Wallace, Jane Wells, Maxine Ryan, Mary Schriver, Lelia Bebe, Nancy Wyskowski, Lana Oster, Kathy Davis, Emma Trowbridge, Jodi Spicer, Jeanne Hansen, Roberta Forell, Nancy Carpenter, Peggy Fisher, Norma Hummel, Nancy Mahoney, Barbara Gagne, Wendy Wright, Trudy Rathburn, Sheila Baker Harper, Sharon Sadler, Kathy Trumble Burke, Sue Mishler, Kathy Thompson, Kathy Bollinger. Not only women register, but the following gentlemen also serve troops and are offical Girl Scout members: Robert Othmer, Jack Rathburn, Larry Lingholm, Bill Mason, Terry Swartz, Walter Wyskowski, and Jim Wright. Scouting offers a variety of activities and learning ex­ periences, starting now with Daisys at the kindergarden level, to high school at the senior level. Because the program is broad, using the five worlds to explore the World of Well Being, the World of People, World of Today and Tomorrow, World Of Arts, and the World of Outof-Doors, they are en­ couraged to try new things, to discover these New Worlds. It has been noticed that Girl Scouts are achievers academically and socially. Because of the way it is structured, they are not scored or graded so there is never failure (even a six year old’s funny papermache art creation is a success). This gives them confidence to attempt more and therefore achieve even more along the way. During their years of participation in the four different levels of scouting, they are given the op­ portunity to choose from over 165 interest badges and challenges. Trips and visits to new places offer them a learning and a fun ex­ perience at the same time. Giving service to others, to individuals, groups, or for their community is a good example of becoming in­ volved to help create a better world around themselves. Community participation can also be fun, and its progression stages are quite evident with this weeks Maple Syrup Festival. As Brownies they may march proudly in their uniforms; as Juniors they work together to construct a float for the parade; then as they become a Junior in High School, they may compete to be a member of the Queen’s court We are proud that 34 former Girl Scouts have been chosen for this royal honor. This year’s Queen, Dena Hampton is a member of Senior Troop 205 and has been in scouts the past nine years. NOTICE We are expanding our paint line.

In order to gather in­ formation most likely to represent a cross-section of the views ofall Eaton County residents, 500-households were selected at random from the telephone books. 297-respondents, or 1 percent of the households in the county, actually completed surveys. This target sample was achieved during two sessions of calling .the randomly selected telephone numbers, and 20 in-person interviews conducted in the County Department offices of Health and Social Ser­ vices. Nine residents of Ver­ montville were surveyed. A clear majority of those polled felt there was a child abuse problem in Eaton County (67 percent). Fewer people (56 percent) expressed confidence that they fully understood the laws governing and defining child abuse and neglect, suggesting the need for further public education in this area.

Sugierski requested the waiver to avoid taking his six-year-old son out of the Maple Valley program during the school year to move to Lansing. In other action, the board: —Approved the retirement of Maple Valley central office secretary Pat Kivela, ending 33 years of em­ ployment in the district; —Approved new English textbooks for grades one through eight as recom­ nded by the majority of committee members and building administrators; —Approved the purchase of equipment for the high school office block program that includes two typewriters, one cassette copierand one bulk eraser at a total cost of $3,575. —Approved purchasing Canon copiers for each of the elementary school buildings and one for the Jr.-Sr. High School buildings. —Approved summer maintenance projects in­ cluding the enclosure of gym windows at Kellogg covering twenty-seven groups of popular antiques, with many illustrations. “One Brief Shining Mo­ ment” Memories of John Kennedy by his friend, William Manchester. “The Star and the Laurel,” by Beverly Rae Kimes.

The board took no action on a request of the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters, conveyed to the board by Larry Lenz, concerning required “pay for play” in the school’s athletic program. “They’re just getting sick and tired of some people getting a free ride,” Lenz said. Presently, students wishing to partiepate in sports at Maple Valley are asked to make donations but they are not required. But, Lenz said, some students are participating without donating, while others donate to each sport they take part in. “They (boosters) feel some people are taking free rides,” Lenz said.

Only a minority of people in Vermontville (33 percent) felt that there are enough services available to deal with the problems of child abuse and neglect. Most of the people surveyed (33 percent) thought that the present services were not adequate to prevent child abuse, and supported having more services available in the county. In Vermontville 66.6 percent of the respondents either felt that not enough services were available or were uncertai n as to whether or not these services were sufficient. Survey respondents chose alcohol-drug abuse programs, counseling, and teaching more about sexual abuse as the most effective services in dealing with the problems, but favorably endorsed a wide variety of services. They choose a school and a church as the locations for locations for services delivery most likely to be utilized. “Barry County, Michigan, History, 1985”.

Instrumental in all, three wins was Matt McClellands ability to get on base and score, as he did in the 1st inning of all three games. Providing the offensive punch in the Lions 15-0 win over Caledonia were Brett Ramey, Adam Brumm, Tai Gearhart and Scott Lenz, with 2 hits a piece. Tai Gearhart doubled, scored twice and knocked in 4 runs. Adam Brumm struck out 5 hitters in picking up the first win of the year. Game two was a 10-0 shutout of SMAA opponent Pennfield.

Scott Lenz went to last 3 innings in picking up a save. Tai Gearheat singled with 1 out in the 5th, stole second and scored on an error which gave the Valley the lead for good. Gearhart finished the day with 3 hits, a triple and 3 runs scored. The big play of this bailgame was a determined diving catch by Lion Centerfielder Mark Martin in the bottom of the 5th inning.

Maple Valley Lions Track Team beats Portland, loses to Olivet Maple Valley lost its bid for its second conference win to Olivet on Wednesday, but rallied on Friday over Portland to give them a 1-loss 1-win conference record and a 3-loss 2-win record overall. “I had a feeling about Wednesday as soon as the bus was on the road to Olivet,” said coach Larry Ainsworth. “It was raining and 41 degrees, which is not the type of weather for a track meet; part way to Olivet we found that the pole vaulters had forgotten to load the poles; our man that runs one leg of the 2-mile relay and also does well in the mile and Vz mile hurt his foot and would be out for at least a week; our high jump man, who is also our high hurdle runner, was still not able to run from a pulled muscle; and two of the men that run part of the mile relay could not run.” On the brighter side the following people scored for Maple Valley: Shot Put, Mike Siple, 1st 42’2”, Scott Villaneuva, 2nd, 37’10”; Long Jump, Matt Owen, 2nd, 17’9”, Mike Cheeseman, 3rd, 17’6”; Discus, Mike Siple, 1st, 112’0”; High Jump, Brian Stall, 3rd, 5’0”; Pole Vault, Paul Bahs, 3rd, 10’6”; High Hurdles, Matt Owen, 3rd, 19;3; 100 Yd.

Dash, Brian Ainsworth, 1st, 24:72. Friday was a home meet against Portland and the way the stats were looking in the papers, our boys would really have their hands full. I had a quick meeting with the team and let them know how things added up. They really worked hard and proved that stats do not guarantee a win or loss but should only be used as a guideline. Mike Siple put out his best shop put and discus throws, so far, this season. Our relay teams won 3 out of 4 relays. Brian Ainsworth placed first in all four of his events. Paul Bahs and Scott Carpenter each placed in four events. All in all, the boys did a good job to pull it out 78-59. Scoring for Maple Valley were the following: Two Mile Relay, Doug Franklin, Mark Goodrich, Scott Carpenter and Paul Bahs, 1st, 9:41:00; Pole Vault, Brian Ainsworth, 1st, 11’0”, Paul Bahs, 2nd, 11’0”; Shot Put, Mike Siple, 1st, 45’5%”, Scott Villanueva, 3rd, 377%”; Discus, Mike Siple, 2nd, 127*7%”, Scott Villanueva, 3rd, 105*11”; Long Jump, Matt Owen, 1st, 17’8%”; 120 High Hurdles, Matt Owen, 3rd, 19:89; 100 Yd.

V. Maple Valley played an ex­ cellent game Monday defeating Olivet 10-0 in JV Baseball. Getting hits for Maple Valley were Matt Brown, Mickey Tilley, Jeff Fisher, Dan Kellogg, Dale Dickinson and Kevin Stewart. Jeff Fisher and Dan Kellogg hit doubles in the game. Jeff Fisher was the winning pit­ cher throwing five innings, giving up 2 hits, 2 walks and he struck out 10 batters. On Thursday, the JV Baseball team fell behind Springfield 2-0. In the bottom of the sixth inning, the JV’s rallied for three runs to take a 4-2 lead. In the top of the sixth inning Maple VAlley had an unusual double play to end the inning. It went from Mickey Tilley to catcher Rob Norton for an out at home, back to the pitcher then to third baseman Brock DeGroot for the third out. Maple Valley played well defensively with Matt Forell, Matt Brown, Brock DeGrott and Juan Otero leading the defense.

Maple Valley Girls Track Team runs record to 4-1 The Maple Valley girls track team suffered its first loss this past Wednesday to Olivet 73-55.

Karris True broke the nine year old High Hurdle record running the event in 17.92, and the winning Two Mile Relay team of Kim Bahs, Michelle Reid, Angie Smith and Deanna Hagon ran a 11:09.6 breaking the record set last year by sixteen seconds.

Krizek, County Extension Director More producers are ex­ pected to use anhydrous ammonia this year to trim costs. Increases use of this potentially hazardous fer­ tilizer could lead to more accidents unless growers take steps to minimize the risk. “Producers can avoid costly and dangerous ac­ cidents involving anhydrous ammonia by wearing adequate protection gear,” says Howard Doss, Michigan State University Extension agricultural safety specialist. Anhydrous ammonia boils at -28 degrees F, so it turns to gas when it is released into the atmosphere. The anhydrous ammonia gas seeks out water to react with and is attracted to moisture on a person’s skin and especially the eyes, Doss says. The result of exposure to anhydrous ammonia is similar to a freeze burn, and it can cause respiratory failure if inhaled. Wearing rubber gloves and goggles approved for use when handling anhydrous ammonia will help prevent injury should a spill occur, Doss says. The goggles should be tight fitting and specially vented. Turning the cuffs of the gloves up will keep ammonia from running down the user’s sleeve. Reduce the chance that the gas will directly hit the skin by wearing long pants and long-sleeved shirts, Doss advises, Doss says producers should keep five gallons of fresh water available at the tractor and on the ammonia tank for washing skin in case of an ammonia spill. A small plastic eyewash bottle filled Get into gardening 4-H By Anne Pease, Program Assistant What 4-H project teaches self-sufficiency, saves families money, beautifies communities and makes you feel needed? 4-H Horticulture projects do. And now’s the time of year to consider getting involved. You can have a flower or vegetable garden if you live in the .city, in the suburbs or on a farm. Gardening projects can bring families, friends and even whole communities together with a common goal. “It’s very rewarding to see your hard work take shape before your eyes and produce that first blossom, 'fruit or vegetable,” said one excited 4-H member last summer. “It even taught me patience!” Gardening projects can lead to improved confidence and self-esteem. And they’re therepeutic, too-working in a garden can relieve tension and frustration. The fruits and vegetables grown will save food dollars, and surplus crops can be sold to raise money for your club. Add to that the nutritional benfits of eating fresh grown produce, the excellent exercise you get from gardening (220 calories burned per hour), and the good feeling you get from caring for living things, and what do you have? There are several gar­ dening workshops and events coming in the near future. Contact the Ex­ tension Office for more details. with water and carried in a shirt pocket provide im­ mediate access to water and could save a person’s eyesight if a blast of am­ monia hits him or her in the face. If ammonia gets on skin or in eyes, rinse the affected area for at least 15 minutes with fresh water. Though nearly everyone knows that water is the best first aid treatment, studies show that only one in three anhydrous ammonia accident victims applied water for at least 15 minutes, Doss notes. A safe rescue of someone caught in a cloud of am­ monia gas cannot be per­ formed without the use of an anhydrous ammonia respirator, so Doss cautions against attempts without one. Avoid this type of ac- cident by working upwind of the ammonia cloud, allowing the gas to drift away from workers. Victims should always seek medical attention even if no damage is evident, especially if they may have inhaled ammonia, Doss says. Getting medical help right away can prevent more serious damage due to anhydrous ammonia burns. Make your furniture spring flower fresh. Call the...

Vanderhoef, who was thrown from his horse last Friday (April 11) and suf­ fered damage to the ver- Area pen tebrae in his back, recom­ mended to Principal Burr Hartenburg that the show be cancelled. Hartenburg passed along the recom­ mendation to the board of education last Monday. “It’s been Denny’s (Vanderhoef’s) recom­ mendation to scrap the musical this year,” Har- pals First grade pen pals from Maplewood School in Ver­ montville and Southeastern Elementary in Eaton Rapids were reunited April 16 in Eaton Rapids. The children from Merry Ossenheimer’s and Janet Alien’s first grades at Maplewood have been corresponding with the classes of Darlene Krebs and Susan Rhinard since fall. Eaton Rapids children had visited Vermontville earlier this year. It was apparent that the children enjoyed the reunion with their pen pals, as they reunite picked out their special friends, without adult help, from a group of 92-children. Lunch consisted of hot dogs and potato chips, with desserts furnished by parents of the host school. The children enjoyed movies and working on coloring projects with their friends. The children and teachers from both schools would like to thank both boards of education for their support with this “Pen Pal Day” project, as well as all the parents who helped to make this a successful activity. Scout Showcase '86 will be held in Hastings Phil Hayes, chairman for “Scout Showcase ’86” an­ nounced that tickets are now being sold by Scouts for the Saturday, May 3 (10 a.m.-3 p.m.) Scout Showcase at the Barry County Fairgrounds, Hastings. Sponsored by the West Michigan Shores Council, Boy Scouts of America, the Hastings Showcase, one of nine throughout the 12 county council service area, will feature over 20 exciting Scout displays, exhibits and skills to show the public audience what the Scouting program is in terms of its overall objec­ tives and activities. Attended by 400 Scouts, leaders and viewers, the Scout Showcase, which hosts the Land of Lakes District Pinewood Derby car race, provides a colorful, adven­ turous experience for all par­ ticipants and at the same time it is a fundraiser benefitting: the Scouts, who sell tickets and earn prizes; the pack or troop, which receives a commission from total sales; and the Council, which uses the remaining proceeds, after expenses, in its general operation budget. Hayes stated, “The Showcases is the Best In Scouting in the most attrac­ tive setting to the most people in the shortest possible time.” Questions about the Scout Showcase can be directed to the Council Service Center, 1935 Monroe NW, Grand Rapids, ML Phone 363-3828. MAPLE VALLEY Real Estate tenburg said, despite a plea by senior lead cast member Cass Davidson to find sub­ stitute direction. Davidson confronted the school board at its last meeting to request that the musical go on. “There are six lead parts and there are seniors in four of them,” she said. Davidson was concerned that the seniors would not receive another opportunity to participate in the school musical, and requested that Hastings High School vocal music teacher Patty Aumick be obtained for the job of directing the spring musical. Hartenburg responded to the request by noting that he had already spoken to Aumick, and said she had told him she would be happy to assist, but would not take full responsibility for the entire production. Hartenburg added that Vanderhoef felt it best to cancel the musical entirely, partly due to the subject matter of “Once Upon a Mattress.” “Denny and I just see too many potential problems that he isn’t here to direct,” Hartenburg said. According to Hartenburg, Vanderhoef had refined the scripts to defray from potentially unacceptable material, and felt he needed to be the one to oversee and carry out the changes. Vanderhoef said in a telephone interview from his hospital room Wednesday that he discussed the matter with Hartenburg and Superintendent Carroll Wolff prior to making the decision. “We just kind of agreed it was the best way to go. I knew there would be some disappointment but I felt it best,” Vanderhoef said. Rehearsal for the musical had only been in progress for one week when Vanderhoef became injured. The per­ formance dates were set for May 2-3. Although Vanderhoef knew the subject matter of the play prior to selecting it for Maple Valley’s spring musical, he said he preferred it because “I think it’s a valid piece of literature.” He added that through careful editing, the subject matter had been deemed acceptable. Vanderhoef said he felt bad that he is not able to continue with the play and that he would have directed from his wheelchair if his doctor would have allowed it. The school has retained a substitute teacher to instruct the band classes at school, however, also as a result of Vanderhoef’s absence, the Maple Valley Jazz Band has cancelled its performance scheduled for the Ver­ montville Maple Syrup Festival. The junior high and high school marching bands will proceed with plans to participate in the grand parade. Members of the board of education indicated wishes to see the musical go on, but left the decision to Hartenburg. “I find it difficult to believe that there is someone so indispensible that the show can’t go on,” said board member Dale Ossenheimer. He noted that in any other extra curricular “we would replace the person and go on.” Board President David Hawkins commented that “it’s a shame the kids have to suffer because of what has happened.” However, Vanderhoef said that the students have ac­ cepted it well and have been supportive.

(N-166) by Shelly Sulser A committee of student council members at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School held the first Staff Ap­ preciation Week at the school last week, with special features including refreshments, a mock election and luncheon. The committee, headed by chairperson Joy Hamilton, consisted of Kelly Hoefler, Carmen Hamilton, Julie Welcher, Heather Christie, Kevin Engel, Scott Phenix, Mark Martin, Kelly Reid, and Debbie Exelby. In the past, the students had held one special day for the teachers but this is the first year staff appreciation has been extended to a full week. “It gives us more chances to do more things for the teachers,” Julie Welcher said. Together, the students decided to show their appreciation to members of the Maple Valley staff because of “the support they give us when we need help,” and because “they listen to us when we have problems,” they said. “They put in a lot of extra time,” Welcher said. “That’s why we’re doing all this.” Last Monday, the group provided members of the staff with cookies, orange juice and coffee; Tuesday they provided donuts and coffee and Wednesday, the staff was treated to a lun­ cheon and each was given a carnation. Thursday, the students held a mock election for the teachers, dubbing each as “best dressed” or “most talkative,” etc. On Friday, the students announced the results of the election, and gave cakes to each teacher. The committee expressed appreciation to Carl’s Supermarket for providing the food for the luncheon, to Sandi Christie for making the cakes, to the cooks, Mr. Lenz and “most of all we want to thank the teachers,” they said.

April 29. 1986 Vermontville citizens organize tooppose prison by Shelly Sulser More than half of the nearly 200 citizens attending a public meeting held last week to discuss building a medium security prison in Vermontville were opposed to the idea. “We’re sure the bulk of the community is against this," said Doug Janousek of Vermontville as he passed out literature prior to the meeting last Tuesday night. “I don’t think there is anything they can show us or say to us that is going to change our minds." At the request of the Gonzalez said. Some of those proposed building sites include Detroit, Wayne County, Lapeer County, Saginaw, Carson City, Jackson, Muskegon and Ionia. “That is why we are embarking on what we feel is the biggest employment program that the state of Michigan has ever operated," Gonzalez said. “We’re talking here about a lot of jobs," maybe up to 4,000 in the coming years, he said. Gonzalez claimed twothirds of those jobs would be Vermontville Village available to residents within Council, Joseph J.

Barry County Farm Bureau women had charge of the grain and maple syrup displays and gave out nearly 5000 samples each of popped corn and maple syrup. Also in the display there was a hand flour grinder and many marveled to see the brown wheat turn into white flour and to find out how hard it was to turn the handle.on the grinder. Many comments were heard wondering how far­ mers could keep their heads above water on the small proportion of the consumer dollar that goes into the farmers pocket to pay his expenses of production and his own living. Posters brought out the fact, for instance, that of a $1.09 pound of oatmeal, the far­ mer got only three cents for the oats from which it was made. Others expressed concerns wheat and com and still others stressed the nutritional con t of the grains thems es and products made om them and yet others co pared the price of grain i 976 with today.

LITCHFIELD �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, April 29, 1986 — Page 3 TTTTTITTTTTTTTTTrnTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTn^ From our readers ....................... To the editor: I attended the public hearing April 22 concerning the possibility of a regional correctional facility in the Vermontville area. I came away with the impression that everyone was right. I honestly believe the villge needs more revenue in order to expand public services, or as far as that goes, it needs more revenue just to maintain present services. With the federal and state governments talk of cutting revenue sharing, it’s going to be even more difficult to maintain a balanced budget. I am neutral on the prison issue because I can see jobs and progress in that type of a facility, but I also see potential danger and the possibility of Vermontville becoming a busy, trafficridden town that would need a bigger police department, more road repairs, ad­ ditional maintenance per­ sonnel, and expanded water and sewer facilities. Where do we get the revenue? Nuclear waste dumps, an additional prison or whatever no other village wants? What is the solution? I feel a village income tax is the best way to satisfy everyone. I say this because I heard many people at the public hearing say they worked in the big city and bought a house in Vermontville because it was a quiet little town and a safe place to raise a family. If that is so, they should not mind sharing /L their money to improve the quality of life in Ver­ montville. I say income tax because what money is raised here, will stay here. The senior citizens and the less fortunate will be less affected by income tax, as compared to property tax. With property tax the township, county, and state always get a share. With an income tax, we would control it. One other point con­ cerning income tax com­ pared to a prison, at least all of the residents of Ver­ montville would get a chance to vote for or against it and I guarantee no one will receive any bodily harm by paying income tax. That’s something no one at the public hearing could do. To those people who use Vermontville just as a place' to sleep, if you want to keep Vermontville a small, sleepy village, you have to reach into your pockets to keep it that way. It wouldn’t hurt to shop here either! My wife and I do.

Classes: Held Year Round ! COME EARLY To Register! �The Mople Volley News. Noshville. Tuesdoy April 29, 1986 — Poge 4 1892 photo was taken in what was a "newsy year One of the earliest, most completely identified school group photos on display in the Michigan and Local History Room at Putnam Public Library is dated March 9, 1892. There are several other school photos of that era on exhibit at the library but few bear such complete iden­ tification of indiviual students. The handwritten inscription on the back of the picture even includes the married names later acquired by many of the girl students. The 1892 photo appears to be of grammar school age youngsters, generally considered to be those between fifth and eighth grade. A check of Nashville’s high school alumni roll shows that some of the students in the picture later graduated in 1897 or 1898, both classes having a great number of diplomas awarded for this school in that era: 33 in 1897 and 18 in 1898. At least some, if not all of the forty children pictured may well have been sixth or seventh graders at the time. The photo was taken in front of Nashville’s Union School, a fine brick structure completed in 1885 at the cost of about $8,000 that was later destroyed by fire in February 1902. (Later that same year a similarly-styled replacement was built on the same site on Washington Street bewtween Queen and Middle streets.) A chalkboard in front of the student group bears the legend, “Nashville, Mar. 9, 1892, No. 3.” The teacher has been identified as Lottie Aldrick (or Aldrich), and since she is the sole instructor seen in the picture she may well have been in charge of the com­ bined class of sixth and seventh grades, if indeed that is what these students represent. In conjunction with the 1892 school photo we thought it might be interesting to learn what was news in Nashville the week and month the picture was taken. The following items were selected from The Nashville News issued just two days after the photo was snapped, and from the two successive weekly issues. Items Taken From The News of Friday, March 11,1892: The Lentz Table Co. are now working more than thirty hands and cannot keep up with others. There was some warm times at the postoffice Wednesday afternoon when a stove pipe and chimney burned out.

Gonzalez denied that, saying that two facilities are planned for the region, one in Carson City and that the other site has not yet been selected. “We are looking for some other site, so not necessarily Eaton County,” he said. When questioned after the meeting about the state’s plans, Gonzalez said that “at this time, we’re not talking about anything specific.” Now that the meeting has taken place, Gonzalez said that the state will just “wait and see” what kind of debate takes place and what the community eventually decides.

It’s not a pleasant environment these are not gentlemen, these are not boy scouts we’re working with down there...nontheless, I do not feel my life is in danger when I go to work every day...I don’t see where it would be a detriment to this com-< munity.” Gonzalez, in response to the concern that prisons cause a decrease in property values, claimed he has seen no evidence of that hap­ pening. He explained that although there has been no formal proposal to build a prison in Vermontville, the following process would have to take place before one would actually be constructed. “Assuming that sites were found in or near Ver­ montville and that site met all the criteria that we need to build a prison,” he said, “that triggers a site selec­ tion process where we would do an environmental impact statement, that is, the site is carefully studied for impact not only on the physical environment, but also on the social and economic en­ vironment in the area.” He added that public hearings would be held with a stenographer present to record all questions and feelings of the community. “Then the impact statement and the transcript are sent to the Michigan department review board, who, in turn, evaluates the proposal and ultimately makes a recommendation to the governor,” noted Gon­ zalez. Then the state legislature decides whether or not to fund the project. “We have representatives in Lansing to represent your interest but local com­ munities do not have a chance to vote on the proposal,” Gonzalez said. “That is the way the constitution is.” However, Gonzalez did say the community could hold an advisory vote to express the community feelings. One resident told Gonzalez he had heard that Eaton County ouny was gong going to o ge get a prison, and asked if this was The Craft Nook Basket News • For May □ BEGINNER’S CLASSES Starting Tuesday, May 6, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. or 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. □ INTERMEDIATE CLASSES Starting Wed., May 7,6:00 to 10:00 p.m. ALL CLASSES ’2.00 PER HOUR Call or come in for more information... 852-9192 ... ask for SUE NOTICE We are expandingo our paint line.

Stan Trumble, president of the Syrup Festival Cor­ poration, said he agreed when the owner of Crown Amusements said the festival turnout was the biggest he has ever seen. Maple Valley High School's exchange students were featured on this float in Saturday's parade. Festival Queen De'ana Hampton was crowned dur­ ing the festival by 1985 Queen Polly Cook and given roses by Vermontville Syrup Maker, Nyle Wells. Happy “50th” “He said there is no way we could ever top the weekend with the weather we had every day of the festival,” Trumble said, “and he’s right.” Trumble estimates that more than 20,000 visitors jammed the tiny village of Vermontville on Saturday SALLY Love...

Trumble said because of the number of people on hand, all available pancakes at the American Legion were sold out, as was the bar­ bequed chicken. He also commented that this year’s parade was the longest ever, with over 50 entries and lasting more than an hour. “Sally Martin did a very good job getting that together,” he said. One special highlight of this year’s parade was the participation of past syrup queens and their courts. Some were in attendance that had been on the court as far back as I960. Trumble credits the dif­ ferent committees with the exceptional success oitfh tthhies year ars ’s festivities. esves. “They did their jobs very well, ell,” he said..

The youth, under the direction of conductor Dennis Vanderhoef and guest conductor, Tracy Texter, displayed their talents and skills Sunday for their parents, friends and relatives at the school’s annual Spring Concert. A variety of music rang throughout the gymnausium as the choir sang “Rocky Top”, and a trio of Tim Higdon, Chris Ames and Jeff Sleeper sang “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” a capella. The sixth grade band was first to take the spotlight, keeping the beat to “Liza Jane” and the “Beginners Tango”. The junior high band’s renditions of “Aquanauts,” “Tomorrow” and “Rip VanWinkle” proved to be crowd pleasers, followed by the high school choir singing, “Can’t Smile Without You” and “Yankee Doodle”. The senior choir members, who sang for the last time with the group, sang “Halls of Maple Valley,” backed by the other choir members.. “Amparito Roca” was the opening tune of the high school band, followed by a “fun” song, “Burlesca”. The high school jazz band livened the crowd with “How High 'the Moon,” “Sweet Georgia Brown” and “Sing, Sing, Sing.” Again, the high school band took the stage to play “Three Peices for Band” and closed the concert with the traditional spring concert finale ,“Riffin the Blues.” Special features included an Angie Thompson solo; a Faith Schilz and Sonya Thompson duet; a Susan Lightner, Lori Higdon and Chris Ames trio; and Lynette Thompson and Aimee Stall who performed a clarinet and piano duet. During the middle of the concert, President of the Maple Valley Band Boosters, Jerry Terpening, presented Tracy Texter with flowers in appreciation of her work to conduct the band while Vanderhoef was recuperating from a recent injury. a large crowd (below) turned out Sunday for the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High annual Spring Concert. The talented Maple Valley High School choir sings "Rocky Top" a favorite bluegrass tune. Nashvi l e Vi l a ge Counci l approves Cosgrove sewer project St. The Nashville Village Council has agreed to extend the sewer line along Casgrove Street in the village at a total projected cost of $32,675. The council voted at the April 24 meeting to hire a contractor to handle the digging and grading work, while the village will do the actual construction. The estimated cost for excavating is $9,500; $2,470 for pipe; $255 for fittings; $2,270 for manholes; $6,480 for labor; $8,700 for resur­ facing the street after the work is completed; and $3,000 to re-grade the ditches. The new sewer line will run down Casgrove Street west to the village limits. Village President John Hughes noted that there are four residents who plan to hook-up to the new line, for a fee of $714.61 each, and that possibly 13 more residents might hook into the new line. The council agreed to begin the work following the end of school and hopes to have it completed by Sep- tember. In other discussion, trustee Marsha Ainslie raised a concern about the continuing problem of junk cars in the village. Bringing to the attention of the council ordinance number 10881 that pertains to junk cars, Ainslie said “We’d like to have it used. There is no reason with this ordinance something can’t be done.” Hughes noted that acting Police Chief Gene Koetje has been working on the problem, and that nearly 25 inoperable, unlicensed vehicles have been removed since the council took action nearly one year ago, by sending letters to ordinance violators. In other business, the village of Nashville plans to participate in Mayor Ex­ change Day with the village of Stanton. A number of Nashville officials will travel to Stanton on May 19, followed by a return trip by Stanton officials to Nashville on May 21. Local man stands mute to sex assault charges A not guilty plea was entered for a Nashville man charged with criminal sexual conduct. Duane L. Curtiss, 45, 143 Philadelphia, Nashville, was arraigned April 25 on charges of engaging in sexual penetration with a 13year-old girl. Curtiss stood mute to the charges and a May 23, pre­ trial was set. A trial in the case may not be necessary, Curtiss’s attorney Jim Fisher said. Fisher said the matter might be settled at the pre-trial hearing. Curtiss is charged with first degree criminal sexual conduct, a life offense.

At least a few of our local senior citizens can say they have seen Halley’s twice in their lifetime, for they remember as youngsters hav­ ing the phenomenon pointed out to them by adults. The comet’s head in early May, 1910, was considered as bright as the most brilliant stars in the heaven. It’s im­ mense tail was an impressive sight, and left a marked im­ pression on those who saw it then. Astronomers say that on After a spectacular race up and down Main Street, the "advance agent of Gabriel" finally reined up in front of the Union House hotel, recalled Clyde W. Francis. The stranger's flowing white locks and sten­ torian voice struck terror in the hearts of children already apprehensive about the 1882 comet overhead. Built in the early 1870s, the Union House (site of presentday Central Park) was an early focal point of com­ munity festivities, such as this 1900 Farmer’s Picnic show. The old hotel burned in 1902. Housework was not assisted by any labor-saving devices in the days of his youth, recalled Francis. The only time electricity ever took a wife away from a back-breaking washboard then was when a bolt of lightning entered the Bergman home one Monday morning with strange — but not disastrous — results. This photo from the Len W. Feighner photo collection at Putnam Public Library shows an unidentified lady off that era tackling the family laundry, out-of-doors, with washboard and wooden tubs. Note the hand-cranked wringer. May 20,1910, the comet came as close to Earth as 14 million miles, and the following day Earth is believed to have passed through the tail of Halley’s Comet, which is now known to have visited Earth every 76 to 79 years since the year 240 B.C. That comet, however, is not the one remembered in a piece written for The Nashville News of March 29, 1928, by the late Clyde W. Francis, and early local resi­ dent who later became a regular contributor to his hometown weekly in a column headed “Telling Tales Out of School”. Francis followed the newspaper business for many years after his graduation from Nashville High School in 1888, and was one of the early publishers of the Lake Odessa Wave. “He is a clever paragrapher and an all around good writer,” noted The News in publishing a letter from Fran­ cis in December 1927, at which time he was still engag­ ed in newspaper work at Cleveland, Ohio. This, then, is the tale of a comet sighting in Nashville when Francis was a young lad of about 12. The source of many of his keen and humorous observations of his town and the times was an old school album, notations therein prompting a series of anecdotes for his column. Following is Clyde Francis’ article of March 29, 1928. “In the last 100 years only two comets have been brilliant enough to be seen in the daytime with the unaided eye. We are concerned only with the last one which ap­ peared in September, 1882. “Minnie and Walter Roe were among the first con­ tributors to my album, and their names appear together on one page under an 1882 dateline. There is no month given, but since the notation ‘comet’ appears, it is evident their signatures were written about the time of the visiting of this sky-terrorizer. “Minnie and Walter were the daughter and son of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Roe. A few words about John M. might not be out ofplace. He was one of these geniuses who could see through the mechanical principle of most any con­ trivance. For example: “Charley Smith, who ran the ‘Corner Grocery,’ had on exhibition at one time the first paper music-roll instrument ever seen in Nashville. It was about the size of a soap box, and turned with a crank. It at­ tracted considerable attention and much wonderment, but when John gave it a once-over Nashville’s Main Street looked pretty much like this the last time Halleys Comet was seen by local residents, 76 years ago. This circa-1910 scene looks southward from near the Washington Street intersection. At least a few presentday senior citizens in the community can recall seeing the comet that year, as young children. The "sky-terrorizer" recalled by the late Clyde W. Francis, however, appeared 28 years prior to Halley's, and could be seen in the daytime. and took some measurements, he declared he could cut out a piece of music that could be played on this organette. Quite a crowd was present the following Saturday night to witness the success or failure of John’s handiwork. When the home-made music roll started through the instru­ ment, there issued forth the beautiful strains of John Howard Payne’s masterpeice - ‘Home, Sweet Home,’ with variations. “In those days, Home had very few variations - it was before women commenced to build clubhouses out of hearth-stones. Housework was not assisted by any labor­ saving devices. The only time electricity ever took a housewife away from a back­ breaking washboard was when a bolt of lightning entered the Bergman home one Monday morning and removed the soles from the shoes on the tired feet of Mrs. Bergman - with no serious in­ jury to her person. “But let’s go back to the comet before it shows up again. I have called it a skyterrorizer, for it was just that to the superstitious and the credulous, and especially to us kids who heard it discuss­ ed on every hand. It created more talk than did the ap­ pearance of Henry Ford’s new car. Astronomers tell us a few comets have some of their parts missing, but this one was properly assembled. The town philosophers, Kellen and Partello took it apart one evening in my father’s grocery store - that is, they ex­ plained all about it and what would happen to this old Earth should it fail to make a proper detour. “But to cap the climax - just when the comet had about reached its perihelion, there appeared on Main Street a person who struck terror to the hearts of us kids. This partiarchal-looking gentleman was bare-headed and the locks of his silverywhite hair touched his shoulders. He was standing erect in a two-seated buggy and driving a team of black horses at a break-neck speed up and down the street. “In a stentorian voice he shouted, ‘Hear ye! Hear ye! The time has come! The time has come! ’ And then he blew a long blast on a trumpet. We youngsters imagined he was the advance agent of Gabriel. He drove back and forth, back and forth, shouting and trumpeting. Finally, he rein- ed up in front of the old Union House and stopped. Im­ mediately a crowd surround­ ed him, anxiously awaiting his message. After wiping his face with a handkerchief, he started in and recited, ‘Curfew Shall Not Ring Tbnight.’ Of all the histrionic effects I have ever heard, this one stands out the clearest. “But picture the dramatic setting! The whole heavens on the anxious seat as this celestial wanderer plunged through the well-ordered planetary orbits. The MilkyWay frightened lest to be churned to butter; the big dip­ per getting ready to catch the buttermilk - and this mun­ dane wanderer, what about him? He was telling the good people he was the seventh son of the seventh son. Why, the son of a gun was nothing but a patent medicine faker. But for all that, when I saw one of the township’s safe and sane men walk up and buy enough bottles of medicine to last him for six months, I knew right then and there that the darn­ ed old comet would never, never hit this old Earth - for Uncle Henry Barnum was never known to buy anything he couldn’t make full and am­ ple use of.” Hummels to celebrate SOth anniversary — An open house honoring the 50th wedding anniversary of LeRoy and Esther Hummel will be held Saturday, May 17, from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Bismark Community School, Bismark Hwy., Vermontvill Vermontville.

Larry Musser, who has been seeing that children are delivered to and from school safely for 34 years, plans to make his last bus repair at the end of this school year. Although he has been working in the district since 1952, Musser says he is only retiring because he has to. “If my back was good, I wouldn’t think of it — I know I’m too young...” he said. Also leaving a post she has held for the past 33 years is the district’s central office secretary Pat Kivela of Vermontville. “Sometimes you get in a rut, not only with your work but with your life too...it’s time for a change,” noted Pat. After 19 years, Bea Bowen plans to retire and spend more time with her craft shop, Bea’s Creations. “It’s time to retire,” she said. “On the whole, it’s been a lot of fun...” Of the three Vermontville residents, Superintendent Carroll Wolff says “they all have been very dedicated employees to the district.” An open house will be held for the three on Saturday, May 10 from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. at the VFW in Nashville. Kivela, Musser and Bowen are each spotlighted in this week’s issue of the Maple Valley News. After 33 years as a secretary at Maple Valley, Pat Kivela is ready for a change. She will retire from her post June 30.

FOR YOUR Insurance Needs on LIFE • HEALTH • IRA HOME and • AUTO — CALL — The Denny Smith Agency PHONE — 852-1801 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 6, 1986 — Page 7 Pat Kivela to end more than three decades at Maple Valley Schools by Shelly Sulser Pat Kivela, central office secretary in the Maple Valley School District is planning to bid farewell to her co-workers and other staff upon her June 30 retirement, saying “it’s time for a change.”. Having worked in that capacity in the district since she was first hired in 1953, Pat seems a bit surprised at her longevity in the job. “When I first applied for the job I just thought I would work for two or three years and go on to something else. And then before I knew it, 33­ years had gone by,” she said. A Vermontville High School graduate, Pat says the secret to staying with the job so long is to enjoy what you are doing. “I wouldn’t have stuck with it if I didn’t enjoy it,” Pat pointed out. Some of her duties over the years have included han­ dling the district’s payroll, filing state and federal reports, bookkeeping, keeping general fund ac­ counts accurate, typing and taking school board minutes. But along with the work, there is still time for office pranks and practical jokes. “We have fun. If we didn’t, it wouldn’t be worthwhile,” Pat said. When she first began her job as secretary, Pat worked for Superintendent Glen Wooster for the Vermontville Schools in the old Ver­ montville High School office. Later, she was moved to the Maplewood Elementary office, still working for the superintendent. “At that time we only had an 11 teacher staff,” she recalled. “I worked on mostly all the school office levels.” After the Vermontville and Nashville school districts consolidated, Pat worked in the high school office in Nashville, where Kellogg school now exists. Pat worked in that office for two years, before being tran­ sferred back to Maplewood School. She then performed Larry Musser followed father's footsteps by Shelly Sulser An occupation that Larry Musser learned from his father will end for him next month as he retires as a Maple Valley bus main­ tenance employee after 34 years. “I grew up with it,” says the 56-year-old Musser. “I worked with him when I was a kid, starting at about six or seven years old.” Musser said that because his mother died when he was eight days old, he was brought up by his father, Dewey J. Musser, and often went to work with him. “Dad took me with him and had me clean the tools,” he recalls. The elder Musser, originally from Lansing, now resides in Hastings. After later trying his hand at car manufacturing and then running a service station, Musser decided to return to what he knew best, bus driving and main­ tenance. “I was married with five kids — I had to make a living,” Musser says. His wife, Barbara, has been a library aid at Maple Valley for 20 years. Their children, now grown, are David of Vermontville, Diane Priestman of Olivet, Larry Neil of Grand Rapids, Gary of Texas and Brenda Lynch, also lives in Texas. A resident of Vermontville since 1942, Musser began as a bus driver there 10 years later. Fifteen years after that, Musser became a full time maintenance employee, overseeing the care of both Vermontville and Nashville buses after the districts consolidated in 1963. “It’s a challenging job...I’ve enjoyed the challenge,” he said. Over the years, Musser has noticed marked changes in the system and especially in the children. “They’ll get mad at the driver and cut the seats so of course, maintenance has to fix them...it’s made a lot of work for us,” Musser notes. “We never used to have cut seats.” Musser said these types of problems began in the 1960s. But despite the problems that can be encountered with the job, Musser tends to overlook the bad and see the good. “I enjoy kids. You have to, to do this kind of work..” he said. Another change Musser recalls is when he first hired a woman to drive bus in the district. “Helen Mason started driving about 1963...there was a lot of ‘discussion’ among the men but Helen was a good driver,” Musser recalls. Musser has also realized that bus inspections each year have become more thorough, which he says by Shelly Sulser One of the first ‘poineer’ women bus drivers at Maple Valley plans to retire next month, after 19-years of dedicated service to children, her community and the district.

Tanning Center UNISEX SHOP WALK-INS WELCOME simply says, “it’s time to retire.” After driving children to and from school in Ver­ montville since 1967, Bea has experienced a variety of situations, some of which stand out in her mind. Recalling one “harrowing” incident, Bea explained how she was at­ tempting to take children home from school in the aftermath of a treacherous ice storm. “I was driving down Anderson Road when I came to a bridge at Shaytown Road,” she said. “I couldn’t get the bus up the hill before the bridge because it kept sliding back down.” Then, “I finally got enough power to go over the bridge but the bus slid as I tried to turn onto it and headed right for the edge.” Fortunately, Bea was able to get the bus stopped just at the brink of going over.

His back “snapped” and has caused him considerable pain ever since. “It’s pretty hard for me to do my job when I can’t pick up tires and things anymore,” he said. Musser said he will miss working with the drivers and other garage personnel, as well as the district staff and Superintendent Carroll Wolff. “I’ve tried to ac­ commodate them all as best I can,” Musser said. “ “I’d like to travel after I retire but first I have to get my husband to retire,” she joked. Pat, who was bom in Vermontville, has three children: Charlotte Garlinger, Debra Vineyard and Ken Foote. She and her husband also have six grandchildren, including one that attends school at Maple Valley. Since working at the central district office location, Pat has missed being able to associate with the children and teachers. “Out here, I hardly see the students anymore or the teachers...! do miss visiting with the kids,” she said. As Pat has seen many changes in the schools since she first began her job there, so does she realize changes must also take place in life. “No matter if you do the same thing for 30 years, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make the change...sometimes you get in a rut not only with work but with life too...it’s just time for change.” o We are now doing...

Bea Bowen recalls one near tragedy during her 19 years with the school district We have Licensed Manicurist “makes us better mechanics.” “The bus inspections we have each year get more rigid but it’s for our own benefit because we always watch for things,” he said, “which makes better mechanics out of us and the drivers appreciate it...The first thing on our minds is safety.” Musser says says his philosophy when working at the bus garage is “preventative maintenance” which seems to be a good one, because he claims he has been able to avoid any major repairs. “I’ve always been proud of our buses,” he commented. Superintendent Carroll Wolff agrees. “Our buses have been in very good condition at the time of our state police in­ spections,” he said, adding that the inspectors have commented on the excellence of the buses. “He (Musser) was always willing to put in extra time to make sure the job was done correctly.” But even after 34 years of the daily routine of going to her secretarial duties in the high school office and later moved to the present location next to the school in 1974. In all, Pat worked for five superintendents, and has worked for current Superintendent Carroll Wolff since 1965. Back in those days, Pat remembers having to hand write all the bookeeping figures, running the ditto machine by hand and using an adding machine to total figures. Now, the office uses an automatic bookkeeping machine but Pat says a computer would be even better. “She’s been a very dependable employee and a good person to work with,” Wolff said. “She has a strong interest in the district and her work and everything related to the district.” Not only has Pat dedicated much of her life to the Maple Valley schools, but so has her husband, Mel Kivela, who has taught wood shop classes for 26 years. 1-517-852-0940 • WANTED • • Lawn Mowers • Ghetto Blaster • Canoe • Table Saws • Band Sows Remember her with a gift from our large selection of — Clothing...

Downtown Nashville �The Mople Volley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 6, 1986 — Page 8 Bea Bowen, from page 7 Just prior to that, Bea said ice laden tree branches had smashed the mirrors on each side of the bus, making the situation all the more dif­ ficult. Bea said that in those days, school was not called off due to harsh weather conditions as readily as now, noting that there were times when the bus would slide sideways down a road for two miles before it could be straigtened out. Other times, “the snow was so high that we couldn’t open the door.” But despite all the dif­ ficulties, Bowen also recalls the good times and says she will miss working with the other drivers and the children. “On the whole, it’s been a lot of fun,” she said. “I certainly will miss it. It has been fun to watch the little kids grow and change.” But, she added, “You know you’re getting old when you you start...” driving kindergarteners to school who are the children of former students that you once bussed to grade school. Bea, along with her husband, Allen, has lived in the Vermontville area for nearly 30 years. They have two children, Kathy Nichols and Janice Mason, both of whom attended Maple Valley Schools. “It’s a good part-time job. I like to drive and most of the kids are good. There are usually about five that give you fits but most of them are pretty good,” she said. Maple Valley School Superintendent Carroll Wolff describes Bea as depen­ dable. “I know Bea as a driver who has very good control over the students on the bus,” he said, “there have been very few problems on her bus...I’ve always had a lot of confidence in her.” Another memorable ex­ perience Bea recalls hap­ pened one early morning as she and her husband prepared for another busy work day. “I got him up and we went to breakfast,” noted Bea. “He works for the county so I dropped him off and he went and did his scraping. I came down here (to the Ver­ montville bus garage) and there was nobody here.” In her bewilderment, Bea went downtown and found that it was only 3 a.m.! “So I went home and a little while later he (Allen) called and said, ‘What time is it?’ so I told him it was 3 a.m.,” laughed Bea. “It turned out we had only been to bed for two hours!” She said Allen had finished his work by noon that day, and that to this day, the humorous error is still the subject of much ribbing by Bea’s coworkers. Now that Bea intends to end her memorable bus driving career, which began at the urging of the district’s first woman bus driver, Helen Mason, she will take the big yellow bus bumping down the road full of noisy children for the last time on June 27. Bea says she will spend more time con­ centrating on the craft shop, “Bea’s Creations” that she has operated from her Ionia Road home. “It’s been a lot of fun,” said Bea, with a twinkle in her eye.

Some grown-up citizens returned to school Friday to attend classes with their grandchildren for the annual grandparents day event at Maplewood School in Ver­ montville. Although Principal Bill Christensen said it was almost impossible to tell how many grandparents at­ tended, he did say it was a large number. “I feel it’s rewarding for both because the children get to have their grandparents at school and the grand­ parents get to see their grandchildren in school,” he said. A variety of activities took place for the special day in several of the classrooms, including one where the grandparents participated in a spelling contest against their grandchildren. Other classes acted out different fairy tales, read plays together, made recipe books, and in Mrs. Green’s room grandparents shared pictures of themselves as children.

Anchor Bay, which won the opener 13-8 over the Lions, scored early in the contest with 2 runs in the second on an error, stolen base and 2 singles. Maple Valley pitcher Scot Lenz pitched a fine ball game giving up just 8 hits, striking out 2 and walking no one, however, a double and another error gave them another run in the third. Anchor Bay had 2 doubles in the fifth for a run and finished out the scoring with 2 in the seventh on two doubles and another RBI single produced a run. Maple Valley had only 2 hits, singles by Adam Brumm and Jim Fuller, as Anchor Bay pitcher Palazzolo shut out the Valley for only the second time this year. The Lions second game against Hastings was a 12-4 loss. Again untimely errors in the first inning opened the flood gates for Hastings. Three doubles, a single and a home run accounted for 5 Hastings runs. The visitors scored 3 more times in the second to take a 8-0 lead before Maple Valley could get started.

Ellard, Ex­ tension Home Economist Yes, the job of homemaker, whether handled by male or female or jointly, does have its drawbacks; long hours, few paid vacations, no sick leave and 24 hour-on-call service. “You couldn’t pay me to take a job like that!”, some might exclaim. Yet 'adults willingly take on homemaker’s respon­ sibilities in helping to produce and promote a quality family life. During May 4-10, the Eaton County Extension Homemakers are joining with hundreds of other organizations in the celebration of National Homemaker’s Week. Isn’t 15 there someone that deserves your recognition during that week too? Salute the homemaker - at the heart of every family, keeping the budget balanced, socks matched and the carpool rolling!

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 114 - No. 44 — Tuesday, May 13, 1986 School District voters to decide on four mill tax increase by Shelly Sulser Voters in the Maple Valley School District will be faced with a decision next month that could raise their taxes an additional four mills for school district operations. The Maple Valley Board of Education agreed unanimously at a special meeting May 5 to request a four mill tax increase which would be levied for three years. The proposal will be decided at the June 9 annual school election. In addition, the board plans also to ask voters to approve a 16.71 mill renewal to be levied for three years, as well. Presently, the school levies a total of 25.01 mills, 8.3 of which is county allocated funding. According to Superin­ tendent Carroll Wolff, Maple Valley operates on one of the lowest millage rates in the entire area, with the average for a class C school being 32 operational mills. “I think we’re at a serious crossroads; we’ve been at a serious crossroads,” Wolff said, pointing out that the extra funding is needed in order to provide a “broader educational program.” A complete 23 page report outlines the district’s plans for the additional $480,000 it hopes to gain from the four mills over the next three years, also taking into consideration the dollars that would be generated from the 16.71 extra voted mills. Wolff said this is an at­ tempt to implement as many of the recommendations of the board appointed citizen advisory committee as possible. “The attempt was made to take the information that was supplied through the citizen’s advisory committee report and try to put it into a working plan,” Wolff said. In February, the board appointed a committee of citizens to study the Maple Valley school’s finances, curriculum, and support services, and to make a report of their recom­ mendations to the board of education. Wolff’s recommendations, based on recommendations made by the citizen com­ mittee, include a number of needs to be met over the next three years. For example, Wolff notes that five regular classroom teachers are needed a the jr.sr. high school beginning next year, which would require an additional $84,166 in the budget. Among other district needs, some of the most major ones listed in­ clude roof repair for Fuller Street Elementary School, the Jr.-Sr. High School and Kellogg Elementary School, estimated at nearly $145,027, and the employment ofa new curriculum coordinator administrator at a cost of $40,105 annually. Although requests for additional millage have failed in the past, the board is optimistic at this point. Speaking to members of the citizen advisory com­ mittee, Wolff said, “One of the things we have going for us is the most interest (by the community) which you created by your committee report...probably the most interest we could develop.” He added that if the board had decided to delay the millage request until a September vote, '.‘I’m afraid a lot of that interest is going to dwindle.” Wolff noted that some might wonder why the board does not request a smaller amount, such as two to twoand-a-half mills rather than four. “It would only do a very partial or small amount of the jobs that have to be done,” Wolff said. “You could go for more than four but then itgets more difficult to approve millage.” He added that for every dollar that is raised locally for the schools, the state provides an additional sum somewhat more than a dollar. “I think we can make a very big step forward with this and right now there is optimism to go ahead and make some improvements,” Wolff said. In addition to those recommendations mentioned, the board has already implemented a Dyslexia Training Workshop for the teachers; plans to schedule more teacher inservice and to send staff to A Process in Educating Excellence (APEX) Training Program. Other recommendations for the schools include: For the 1986-87 school year: —Employing one additional teacher at Kellogg providing three sections of fifth and three sections of sixth grade; add one special reading teacher to work with students reading- below grade level; employing a vocal music teacher and On May 17, living history will be in progress within the Federal and Confederate camps, and a display in the Museum will showcase Civil War artifacts. Many demonstrations will be going on throughout the day on Saturday in the special events area including; ar­ tillery demonstration in the repairs and general repairs; $10,485 for equipment and $58,577 for the purchase of new textbooks and teaching supplies. The board would in the third year, 1988-89 purchase a computer for general fund accounting for the central district office, at $20,000. Other major expenditures include $58,295 for Maplewood roof repairs; $76,480 for two new busses, and $48,147 for salary in­ creases. Wolff said this plan of action may not be a perfect one, and that it is open for revision and discussion. “The maintenance part was put down in a sequence of years to try and explain and spell out the needs of the school district,” he said. MILLAGE, continued next page Vermontville Council agrees to let people vote on local prison issue by Shelly Sulser Citizens of Vermontville may have a chance to vote on whether they want a state prison in Vermontville, the village council agreed Thursday. The council adopted a resolution stating that they agree not to further discuss the prison issue with state authorities until there is a referendum of the people. This action was prompted by a similar resolution in­ troduced to the council by Doug Janousek, a citizen opposed to the prison issue. The possibility of a state prison being built in Ver­ montville first surfaced when council trustee Russ Bennett introduced the idea to the council in February. Bennett and the council pursued the matter by touring the Muskegon correctional facility, and by holding a public meeting for area residents to air their concerns. Janousek originally asked the council to adopt a resolution that would have kept them from giving further consideration to the issue, but the council felt that would “tie the council’s Civil War at Charlton Park this weekend Be a part of the living history of the North & South with 350 reenactors from across the Midwest during Civil War Days at Charlton Park May 17-18, 1986.

The Pass and Review following the battle allows a view of soldiers returning to camp. A peroid band wifi entertain on main street Saturday afternoon and at the barn dance in the evening. During the late afternoon soldiers will conduct tours of the army camp, civilian camp, and sutlers camp. Supper with the soldiers will feature pancakes and sausage and the public is invited. Supper time is 6:30 p.m. and the cost is $3 for adults, $1.50 for children 5­ 15. The barn dance begins at 7:45 p.m. On Sunday beginning at 8 a.m. living history will be in progress along with artillery and cavalry demonstrations, a combined battalion drill, and church call. The event will close with a final Pass in Review at 3:30 p.m. and the historic village will close at 5 p.m. Admission is $3 for adults, 50 cent for children 5-15 and pre-schoolers will be ad­ mitted free of charge.

Voting against it were council members Bennett, Bill Bailey and Linda Ramey. Voting in favor of the proposal were Rod Harmon, Lana Oster and Joe Ann Nehmer. Janousek’s original resolution stated: “Whereas the village of Vermontville is a place of some Historic importance, Whereas its citizens have spoken through petitions and public hearings with opposition to a prison at this time. Therefore be it resolved that a letter be sent to the proper authorities expressing the lack of community support. Therefore be it further resolved that any future consideration of a prison in the area must be by referendum of the people.” The council felt that resolution would “put a gag order on the council.” “I feel you’re tying the council’s hands when you state no further con­ sideration, ” Trustee Bennett s said. Further discussion resulted in the adoption of a resolution that stated ‘the council agrees not to ap­ proach the state authorities concerning the prison issue or to let them approach the council until there is a referendum of the people.’ However, the council did not decide when the vote would be taken or if it would include the township voters. According to Joseph Gonzalez of the state corrections department, a vote of the people would only be for informational pur­ poses while the state decides where to build prisons. The state, he said, would have final say. “As long as they come back to the people...what they do after that is beyond all of us,” Janousek said. In other discussion, Harold Stewart of the Vermontville Housing Committee reported that a recent survey of area residents concerning senior citizen low income housing in Vermontville resulted in 43 returned forms of nearly 3,000 circulated. PRISON, continued next page Welborn introducing bill to require community consent for local prisons State Senator Jack Senator Welborn today will introduce a bill in the senate to allow local communities to vote on the issue when the State Department of Corrections says it is going to place a prison in a community. If approved, the bill would give final authority to the voters as to whether there would be a prison in their community. Adversaries of the bill say it will stop prison construction. “I don’t think so,” Welborn said. “It will make the Department of Corrections more responsible.” Welborn said the bill has 26 sponsors and co-sponsors. “It (the bill) goes to the corrections committee which I chair and has been sponsored by all five members of that committee," he said. �The Maple Volley News.

The housing committee will meet to discuss the next step, which Stewart said might be contacting in­ vestors to determine who would be willing to build such housing in the village. In other business, the council adopted a resolution not to abandon E. First Street east of Maple Street. Village resident James Lott had requested the council abandon the lot because he has been maintaining it for 15 years, he said. The council felt the lot should not be abandoned because there is a possibility for future development on the property behind the Maple Street homes and the lot is the only access within the village limits to the land. “If that lot is abandoned, you’re talking about cutting the jugular vein of our future as far as development,” said Trustee Rod Harmon. The council also voted to allow township police officer John Stidham to receive water and sewer service until the next new wage agreement March 1. Members of the wage committee, Bennett and Harmon, stated that because they feel it is not illegal to give water and sewer to employees as a benefit or in lieu of wage increases, that Stidham ought to have the benefit. Stidham was ap­ parently told by three members of the council that if he would move to the village from his former residence, that he would receive the benefit, Harmon said. After Stidham moved to the village, Stidham was apparently denied the ser­ vice The village maintenance employees and the deputy clerk have received the water and sewer in lieu of a wage increase since 1982. Millage, The last thing you need when you’re over 55, is a problem paying for your car insurance. Age has its rewards. Sometimes. It does with Auto-Owners. They give good drivers age 55 or older a discount. So instead of raising your premiums or reducing your coverage you may pay a little less for your auto insurance. Auto-Owners respects maturity and a good driving record. Just ask your “no problem” Auto-Owners agent how he can save you money on your car insurance. When you hear the news, you’ll be glad you’ve got a few years behind you. Trumble Agency 517-726-0580 Stan Trumble 178 S. MAIN, VERMONTVILLE Teresa Jones from page one __ Wolff also noted that the district is “under a tight time sequence”, with only four weeks to formulate a millage campaign. In charge of that is Chris MacGregor of the Eaton Intermediate School District, who said that the timeline “scares” her, but, “the momentum is there.” “If you wait until Sep­ tember when school is back (in session), that gives us a much better schedule to run an election,” she said, “but then people in the com­ munity will say ‘hey, they did it — they don’t need any more money.” She added that asking for four mills is ideal for the district at this point. “Don’t go for anything less than what you asked for before because again, your credibility with the public will go way down,” MacGregor told the board prior to voting. “You went for this before because it was what you needed to run the school district and you need at least that now.” Also on the June 9 ballot are three candidates seeking two four year terms on the Board of Education: in­ cumbent David Hawkins, Dale Berry and Beatrice Pino.

EQUAL HOUSING LENDER asio OFFICE HOURS: 9:00-4:30 Monday-Friday, 9:00 to 12 noon Saturday the �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 13, 1986 — Page 4 Memories of the past by Susan Hinckley Hiram W. Walrath - A shoemaker by trade; a musician at heart (Note: the following story first appeared as a Memories of the Past published July 25, 1979.) The sweet strains of his music accompanied both joyous and solem occasions in Nashville for more than fifty years, and when he died in 1954, Hiram W. Walrath left a legacy of happy memories and inspiration to three generations of Nash­ ville families. A Hastings native who migrated to Nashville with his family at age 14, Hiram was a shoemaker by trade but a musician at heart In his younger days he loved the sport of speed skating (both roller and ice) but in 1884, at age 18, his inborn In 1893, Hiram Walrath organized Nashville's first Town Band and Orchestra (not to be confused with an earlier Nashville Cornet Band of the 1870-80s). Walrath, who could play every instrument but piano, received $12 weekly for directing the musicians. Here, 60 years later, a nearly-blind 87-year-old Walrath directs a Nash­ ville village band in one final selection at a 1953 Harvest Festival event in his honor. He died the follow­ ing year. Hiram Walrath took up shoemaking in 1896, pursuing the trade for nearly 50 years in various locations on Nashville's Main Street. Here is he seen in front of one of those sites, the old Parody building (commonly called the "dug-out") on the northeast corner of the Main and Sherman Street intersection. At times, Walrath worked in conjunction with his brother Herbert, a harness-maker, and later engaged in that business, too. love of music prevailed and be dedicated himself to proficiency on the clarinet. “Dad never took a lesson; he taught himself to read music,” recalled his daughter, .the late Leah Partridge, in a 1979 in­ terview. “His whole family was musically inclined.” And that talent passed into the next generation of Walraths. Grown into a young lady, Leah found herself the accompanying pianist for her father’s or­ chestra, and Hiram’s nephews Ross and Herbert, Jr. (sons of his brother Herbert) became members of his marching band. But Leah was not yet born in 1893 when Hiram was first per­ suaded by the village to form and direct a local band for the salary of $12 per week. Hiram - or “Hi,” as he was popularly called - had already chalked up nine years of playing with distinguished out-of-town bands. He specialized in clarinet, cornet and violin but could play every musical instrument but the piano. He already had gained prominence as a gifted teacher and director, and his outstanding talent continued to call him to performances in other places over many subsequent years. “H.W. Walrath is helping furnish music for the Kalamazoo street fair this week,” reported The Nash­ ville News in October 1898. From The News, August 1901: “H.W. Walrath'was at Holland last week, playing with the Holland band during the state tournament.” August, 1904: “H.W. Walrath was Grand This early photo shows Walrath’s band in front of the Barry County courthouse at Hastings. The baby standing in front of the group is Leah Walrath, who in later years became an accompanying pianist for her father's orchestra. The nature of this 1890s event is unknown, but Walrath was frequently called to out-of-town performances. He and his band usually traveled by train, even after the advent of the auto, for "Hi” disliked riding in a car. Rapids over the weekend, playing in Wurzburg’s band at John Ball Park.” More than a quarter century later the gifted, Hiram Walrath still was being sought out by larger cities. “H.W. Walrath, local band leader, has been engaged to direct the Postum band in Battle Creek and will spend on evening a week there, rehearsing,” noted The News on June 26, 1930. But Hi found that his first calling was to Nashville. He devoted almost full time to rehearsing and playing for local dances, parades, concerts, holiday events, graduation exercises, banquets and a host of other social occasions in the village. In 1896 Walrath took up shoemaking, a trade he pursued for nearly 50 years in various Main Street locations. At times he operated his shop in con­ junction with brother Her­ bert’s harness-making business, and in the end assumed that portion of the enterprise also. Still, the name of Walrath in Nashville evokes memories of music more than leather goods. For many years The News was filled with stories of social events backed by the sweet sounds of Hi and his band of musicians. Often he had charge of arranging com­ munity activities. “H.W. Walrath will Walrath’s musicians reorganized several times over the years but many members of the old band often re-enlisted. Since there was no school band at that time, they played for all village and schooll events that called lor music. In an about-1910 Harvest Festival photo are, seated from left: Howard Spragu e, Kent Nelson, Herb Walrath, Jr., Ross Walrath, Dr' promote a big Christmas dance at the opera house, so don’t make arrangements for Christmas until you hear from him,” advised The News in December 1899. Months passed, more news, more events: “H.W. Walrath has already sold 32 tickets for his masquerade dancing party to be given at the opera house November 27. Ladies will be admitted free, if masked.” Three years later, still the music played on: “There will be a dance at the opera house Thanksgiving night, with music by Walrath’s orchestra. Bill for dancing and turkey and oyster stew supper at the Bon Ton Cafe at midnight, just $1 per couple.” That was the same year (1904) that Walrath and local pianist Miss Alda Downing had provided music for the formal opening of the Bon Ton, a bakery and restaurant that The News called “One of Nashville’s finest establishments, already doing a brisk business.” Walrath’s music inspired a love of dancing, and though his chief tutoring talents were confined to in­ strumental lessons, The News noted in January, 1903, that Walrath had started a dancing school in Nashville and had “close to a score of students lined up.” From the early days of his career until he was well into his 70s, Walrath gave private instructions on a variety of musical instruments, con­ ducting the sessions at his residence or at the homes of his students. Lessons cost 25 cents each, recalled one present-day senior citizen in a 1979 interview. Though an admission fee generally was charged for performances at the opera house, much of Walrath’s music was a free gift to music lovers of all ages in the community. “Walrath’s band will give a concert on Main Street Saturday night, the program including two marches, a serenade and two waltzes,” informed The News in Oc­ tober 1904. More than a quarter­ century later people still were flocking to Hiram’s open-air performances. “More than a hundred cars and an estimated 500 people showed up for the band concert in Putnam Park Sunday afternoon,” reported the band concert in Putnam Park Sunday afternoon,” reported The News in May 1930. “The band is under the direction of H.W. Walrath.” Until the formation of a high school band in the late 1930s, Walrath’s band en­ tertained at most village functions, and the members also frequently traveled to out-of-town engagements, usually going by train if Hiram had anything to say about it.

The Craft Nook — NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN — continuedfrom page 4 “Dad never drove a car and didn’t even like to ride in an auto,” remembered his daughter Leah, who added that he would rarely accept an offered ride. Although Hiram’s music consumed much of this time, Leah recalled that her father loved to fish on the Thor­ napple River with Ed Liebhauser nearly every Sunday. And he occasionally enjoyed hunting rabbits-the only wild game we would pursue. “He went ‘coon huntng with Dr. Morris once, and that ended it,” said Leah, explaining that her father found it no sport to shoot a treed animal. A game of “Whist” at Irland’s pool room was a favorite diversion for Hi Walrath, and he always rememberd to bring home ice cream for his wife and children (and, later, grand­ children) although he never ate the treat himself.

CHILD ABUSE PROGRAM years progressed, Walrath gradually lost his sight but his hearing and his mind remained keen until the end. “The ever present rhythm of music was with him to the last,” wrote the late Mildred (Purchis) Mater in a per­ sonal biographical sketch of Walrath. “When he could do nothing else but sit in a chair, he would beat out the rhythm of music going through his mind, on the arms of his chair.” Hiram’s wife, Emma, worked as a dressmaker with Mildred’s mother, Ida (Squires) Purchis. In his declining years Hiram could often be seen sitting on the front porch of his Phillips Street home, where he and Emma lived for more than 50 years. “The high school band would often march by to play for him - both for Hiram’s pleasure and their’s” noted Mrs. Mater. Just a year before his death the community honored the 87-year-old director during Nashville 1953 Harvest Festival, at a “Hi Walrath Night” event staged bn Main Street. There, before a misty-eyed crowd, the aged and nearlyblind musician stepped proudly to the podium to direct the village band in his final performance, a stirring rendition of “Stars and Stripes Forever.” -k k^S S sS^ >«%7K v*-v*-- >> The last thing you need now is a problem with expensive home insurance.

You don’t care until it happens to a guy like you or to a girl like you,” Rotta said. Speaking to the entire student body of the school last Tuesday, Rotta ex- plained how the Students Against Driving Drunk organization was started by founder and executive director Bob Anastas, and told of specific incidences when kids died. “You are shocked in disbelief, you hurt, you cry about it — you hurt right from your guts but that doesn’t count when they needed you a day or two before,” Rotta said. Asking for a show of hands, nearly 85 percent of the Maple Valley students agreed that drinking and driving is bad and ought to stop. “Ifyou believe that, why is it the leading cause of death?’’ he asked the students. Students Against Driving Drunk (S.A.D.D.) currently has nearly 6,000 chapters with about three million members nationwide.

I see 1,000 eyes out there that can control that by watching out for each other — we do have the power.” Rotta spoke about the Contract for Life, a document that students and their parents can sign in an effort to help curb the number of the drinking and driving related accidents. Rotta said there are about 40,000 such accidents in the country every year. The contract states that the child agrees to call the parent for advice and-or transportation at any hour, from any place, ifhe or she is ever in a situation where he or she has been drinking or is with a friend or date who is driving has been drinking. The parent agrees to pick up the child at any hour with no questions asked and no argument at that time. “It’s not a license to drink,” Rotta said. “It simply states that the parent will be there for you in those situations before you challenge death.” Rotta spoke to the students in conjunction with an in­ centive program by the Lansing media called “Project Graduation,” which is meant to help deter drinking and driving on prom night. Jerry Reese said the Maple Valley prom, held at the Hoffman House in Lansing Saturday night was featured on Channel 10 News. The television station offered to tape area proms and show them on the air if they could get 50 percent of those in attendance to sign a form agreeing not to drink and drive on prom night. Of 157 attending Maple Valley’s prom, 78 signed the form. “It really promotes Students at Maple Valley were encouraged by the school's S.A.D.D. chapter to enter into an agreement with their parents with "this contract for life". safety,” said Maple Valley S.A.D.D. advisor Jerry Reese. “I think it gets the kids to think about them- selves.” He added that “it was very successful, the kids had a real good time.” | Ceramic Classes 1 | NIGHT CLASSES...Monday, Tuesday j)j and Wednesday )* DAY CLASSES...Tuesday, Wednesday | || CERTIFIED TEACHER — 14 YEARS | i g • SUPPLIES • GREENWARE C & P Ceramics | | Phone 517-726-0531 Vermontville | Do It Yourself or We’ll Do It For You...

Taxpayers Save Millions As Wage Rate-Blending Halted Michigan taxpayers should save millions of dollars because of a recent decision to abandon the costly practice of wage rate-blending. The state’s labor director has issued an order rivising the calculation method used to determine the prevailing wage for construction projects located in counties covered by more than one collective bargaining agreement. For nearly two decades, the prevailing wage was calculated on the basis of the union local collective bargaining agreement for the township or city in which the construction occurred. Since 1983, the calculations were based ex­ clusively on counties. The Labor Director’s order, effective immediately, restores the original calculation method. Two Free Fishing Days Established - Legislation (Senate Bill 634) authorizing the Department of Natural Resources to establish two free fishing days to help promote recreational fishing has been signed into law.

Senate Approves Legislative On Tax-Reverted Lands the Michigan Senate has approved legislation that will increase the amount of taxes paid to local units of govern­ ment by the state on tax-reverted lands.

The extra dollars will continue to be split three ways: 40 percent to the township, 40 percent to the county and 20 percent to school districts.

Hours for the Pioneer Village Festival, which recreates the past, will be 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. both days. The event is open to the public without charge. History is authentically reenacted at the festival by pioneers, buckskinners, Indians, French marines, American Colonials from the 10th Virginia Regiment and Scottish troops from the 42nd Highlanders. This year Civil War troops from Battery C of the First Michigan Light Artillery will attend. The troops will set up military camps and conduct flag ceremonies and mock battles. The buckskinners and other historic figures from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Canada will gather around their teepees to sell their hand-made crafts and talk with visitors about the pioneer lifestyle. Pioneer crafts this year will include feathersmithing, making corn husk dolls, finger weaving and porcupine quill work. Members of Project Dakota, the historical research-reenactment group, will be on hand with wagons and livestock to discuss their upcoming “Wagons West” trek taking place in June. This trek will recreate the exodus of set­ tlers from the Dakota Territory during the 1880's. The group’s last trek was a week-long trip on horseback through the lands of the Lakota Sioux in South Dakota in September, 1985. All equipment, costuming and other gear used by Project Dakota are authentic to the 1880’s period. Craftspeople at the Pioneer Village Festival will include a blacksmith, woodcarver, calligrapher, quilter and others. The Ewe Spinners will bring their lambs and demonstrate the art of spinning wool into yarn Other craftpeople who will have items for sale will include a maker of herbal cosmetics, an herblist, a wheat weaver and makers of baskets and dulcimers. Live old-time, string band, folk and bluegrass music will be featured both days of the festival. Groups and in­ dividuals wfll entertain with mountain dulcimers, mandolins, banjos, fiddles and guitars. The Annual Fiddle Contest will take place on Saturday, May 24. In addition, the classical string quintet Quintessence will appear at Kingman Museum under the spon­ sorship of the Camera da Musica Chamber Music Society. Other festival attractions will include children’s story times and pioneer games, an old-fashioned tent meeting, leisurely wagon rides and the Calhoun County Sheriffs Mounted Posse. Pioneer food and drink will be available. Another annual attraction will be a flea market with contemporary arts and crafts and foods held directly across from Leila Ar­ boretum on the grounds of Northwestern Junior High School, where there will also be ample parking. The Pioneer Village Festival began as a celebration of Battle Creek's Sesquicentennial in 1980 and is now a Memorial Day weekend tradition in the community. Part of that tradition is the Pioneer Log Cabin, an authentic log cabin that was moved to Leila Arboretum by the Battle Creek Historical Society from a site in Branch County where it was built more than a century ago.

They’re afraid to leave their homes because they might be vandalized.” Of 138 people in the park and in Morgan that Dexter approached, 137 signed a petition that was presented to the Castleton Board at a May 7 meeting. At that time, said Dexter, the board indicated they would schedule a special meeting to vote on the matter, but she said “the board’s attitude seemed to be ‘that’s too bad but what do you expect us to do about it’...they would not live next to this. ” Cochran said she and her husband Leland have managed the park since August of 1985 and at that time, she talked with Township Supervisor Justin Cooley about the problem. “He said he would try to get an ordinance passed to take care of this — he didn’t do anything,” she said. However, since the May 7 meeting, the board has drawn up a sample or­ dinance which Dexter presented to the residents at a community meeting Tuesday night. The residents, she said, deemed it acceptable, and are now seeking some publicity to make the people aware of the board’s pending vote. Cochran noted the or­ dinance would not only benefit the lake area residents, but the entire township as well. But according to Cooley, the board at this time feds there could be some problems in enforcing such an ordinance. He said there is a certain amount of noise that is allowed up to a predesignated amount of decibles. “If that allowed amount of decibles is right next to my window, it’s going to be loud but there is nothing I can do about it,” Cooley said. He added that in order to control amount of noise •the allowable, a decible meter would be needed to measure the noise level. In Prarieville Township where a noise ordinance was passed two years ago, the township purchased the noise meter at a cost of about $500. Township Clerk Janette Arnold said the noise or­ dinance has helped con­ siderably. “We had a real problem at one point,” she said. “There was a section where a group of young kids were having loud parties and it was especially disconcerning to the old couple next door and several others. It got to the point where we had to do something.” When an incident arises where the meter is needed, she said, the township police measure the decibles. If the decibles exceed the number allowable, a ticket is issued. However, Arnold said it is up to the township police department to enforce the ordinance because neither the state police nor the county sherrif’s department will. Lieutenant 517-726-0580 Stan Trumble Noise near Thornapple , cont. from front 178 S. MAIN, VERMONTVILLE Teresa Jones Richard Zimmerman, commander of the Hastings Team of the Michigan State Police said there is no way of enforcing such an ordinance because the department does not possess a decible meter. “I’ve talked to people over the years who have had similar problems but there is no way of enforcing it..you’ve got to be able to measure that (noise), so what compounds the problem is who is going to measure it and what with,” he said. Castleton Because Township does not have its own police department, they rely on the county or the state police for protection. Should the noise ordinance pass in the township, Arnold suggests they contract the county or state to enforce it. As a last resort, the residents could file a complaint with the county prosecutor to take noisy violators to court, according to Cooley and Zimmerman. At the Thornapple Lake Cochran said the teenagers are riding ORV’s on property behind the trailer park, owned by a Battle Creek man, day and night on the weekends and every day during the sum­ mer months. She said they also hold loud parties and bonfires late in to the night, playing loud music. “When you ask them to stop, they just say they have permission to be there and the owner doesn’t care,” Cochran said. “We’ve called the police but most of the time they don’t come out because they said there is nothing they can do until we get an noise ordinance and that is what we are trying to do.” area, TnnTnTnnnTnTTTTnnnTTnnnTnTTnnnTTTnnnnnTTnTTnTTnnT Obituaries llllllllllllHllllHHIlillllUIUIIIIIIIIHUIIIIIII..............

In other business, the board voted to approve the purchase of needed textbooks for the schools with the exception of Silver Burdett English textbooks for the junior high, at the request of the four seventh grade English teachers. The teachers contend they do not want the textbooks, saying the district would not be spending the $4,000 fee wisely because they do not use the books. “...it may not be the best way to spend our money,” noted Journalism teacher Dorothy Carpenter. The four teachers said they have a supply of classroom texts the students can use in class or check out to take home, but all agree the best way to teach the junior high students grammar is through writing exercises, a teaching method Julie Swartz said she learned in college. “Teaching through writing $ ufj u ft f & & School Board President Dave Hawkins presents certificates of recognition to fourth, seventh and tenth graders who scored 100 percent on the recent Michigan Education Assessment Program. (Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) is where you learn gram­ mar,” she said. “I’m doing what you want me to but with a .different approach,” she said. “We’d prefer not to use those texts.” Swartz claimed that since the four seventh grade teachers (Swartz, Lucinda Martin, Shannon Fineout and Liz VanderMolen) have been using writing as a teaching method, the students’ writing skills have improved. “This is the best seventh grade year I’ve ever had,” Swartz said. The quality of students’ writings have improved over the past 20-years, noted Carpenter.

Spring is here, and the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports is encouraging everyone to shake off winter lethargy and get active. The council has declared May as National Fitness Month and people nation­ wide are jumping in to participate. “National Fitness Month comes at a perfect time when most people are gearing up for summer fashions and activities,” says Judi Sheppard Messett, founder of Jazzercise, the world’s largest dance fitness program. “It provides people with an opportunity to learn more about the benefits of exercise and the sageguards against injury.” As a special promotion in connection with National Fitness Month, Cheryl Jackson hosted a “Guest Night” during class on Monday, May 12. “We want everyone to get involved in fitness, whether it be jazzercise, running, walking, bicycling or swimming,” Jackson said. “The Jazzercise ‘Guest Night’ provided people with a chance to get active and learn more about our program and fitness in general.” Jackson will hold a summer session of Jazzercise June 9 through August 13.

Swartz replied, “Let us not purchase $4,000 worth . of books so the students can keep them in their lockers.” A parent in attendance at the board meeting, Bobbie Hoefler, agreed. “You’ve got three very capable teachers with some very good ideas here telling you what is best for the students,” said Hoefler. “They should know, they’re closest to the kids and this is the first time I’ve heard anyone try to talk the board out of spending money.” Swartz said the teachers would rather have writing texts and some inservice training for themselves and their colleagues. It was also noted that the matter is one the new curriculum coordinator could attend to after he or she is hired. The board agreed not to purchase the Silver Burdette English texts, and ammended a motion made last month to approve the pur­ chase of the texts, excluding the 7th-8th grade English textbooks. In other discussion, the board referred to the athletic council a request of the The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 20, 1986 — Page 7 Athletic Boosters to im­ plement a definite “pay for play” policy for students wishing to participate in sports. Sharon Reese of the boosters noted there would be special consideration given those students with financial need. The board also agreed tb lease a portion ofland behind the high school from the Penn Central Corporation at a rental cost of $10 per year. This will provide school administrators a better opportunity to supervise the area where motorcycles are being ridden. Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High Principal Burr Hartenburg gave a report concerning a possible book deposit for students at the beginning of each year, that would be returned at the end of the year if the book was returned in good condition. In exploring the possibility, Hartenburg said, “We wouldn’t recommend it. It would save us some dollars but there would be a lot of paperwork involved.” He said the policy does work at other schools such as Olivet, where report cards or diplomas are retained until the school property is returned. “It does work,” Hartenburg said. But Superintendent Carroll Wolff did not agree with retaining diplomas since the students have worked 13 years to earn it. “In weighing it, I don’t - WANTED Licensed Cosmetologist think the difficulty in doing this would offset what we could gain,” Hartenburg said. The board referred the matter to the policy com­ mittee. Hartenburg also reported on a program “Project Graduation” that over 70 Maple Valley students participated in on Prom night, May 10. The project was sponsored by Channel 10 News in Lansing to discourage students from drinking and driving on prom night. The station aired part of the prom on television because more than 50 percent of the students pledged not to drink and drive that night. Hartenburg said he did not detect any students that had been drinking that night. He added that the portrait photographer at the prom complimented the Maple Valley teens. “He (the photographer) said ‘your students are the best students to work with. They don’t act too cool and they’re not snobbish. They are very polite’,” Hartenburg said. He noted that Tracy Texter, who sub­ stituted when band director Dennis Vanderhoef was injured, had the same comments. “She said, ‘I’ll work with your students Computer classes for Maple Valley youth will be held this summer.

Each year the U.S. Postal Service designates a Mailbox Improvement Week for customers served by rural delivery routes. During that week customers on rural routes are encouraged to examine and improve, where necessary, the appearance of their mailboxes. The third full week in May has been designated Mailbox Improvement Week for this year. Mailbox Improvement Week is to call attention to the need for providing mail recep­ tacles which are designed to protect the mail from the weather and are neat in ap­ pearance, conveniently located, and safe to use. Neat, attractive mailboxes make a significant contribution to the appearance of the countryside and streets in suburban areas. These four important re­ quirements contribute to a more efficient delivery opera­ tion, and the result is improv­ ed service to the entire route. There are two approved styles of boxes: traditional design in three standard sizes and con­ temporary design. Customers are encouraged to group boxes whenever this is practicable, especially at or near crossroads, at service turnouts, or at other places where a considerable number of boxes are located. Where street names and house numbers are available the house number should be shown on the mailbox. If the mailbox is located on a street other than th eone on which the customer resides, the street name and house number should be used. In all cases placing the owner’s name on the box is optional. Generally boxes should be in­ stalled with the bottom of the box between 3% and 4 feet are a vital supplement to the Sunday School, across the United States and many foreign countries. Each week young people compete in AWANA games, hear challenging messages, and memorize the Word of God. The AWANA Program is especially adapted to meet the needs of various age levels.

The box must be placed and served to comply with state laws and highway and postal regulations. The car­ rier must have access without having to leave the vehicle. Supports should be of ade­ quate strength and size to pro­ perly support the box. Some mailbox supports are so massive that they are damaging the vehicles and causing serious injuries to people who accidently strike them. The use ofheavy metal posts, concrete posts, and miscellaneous items of farm equipment, such as milk cans filled with concrete, should be avoided. The ideal support is an assembly which, if struck, will bend or fall away from the striking vehicle instead of severely damaging the vehi­ cle and injuring its occupants. customer.

It is being held by the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging (OSA) in cooperation with the Michigan State Fair. Two awards will be offered again this year. One in the category of services, the other for leadership. Win­ ners will receive their awards at the Michigan State Fair on Senior Citizens Day, Monday, Aug. 25. “Many seniors in Michigan are living lives of accomplishment, purpose and dignity,” says OSA Director Olivia P. Maynard. “People from this group respond each year to the search for outstanding seniors,” she said. “And,” Maynard added, “It gives us a great deal of pleasure to combine the search for outstanding senior citizens with the celebration of May as Older American Month.” O.J. Scherschlight, Acting General Manager of the Michigan State, Fair says, “I’m looking forward to greeting this years’ winners. It’s always a pleasure to present the awards to these outstanding and delightful people.” Applications will be ac­ cepted from nominating organizations such as the Veterans, Lions Club, Kiwanis, Rotary, Civitan, Senior Citizen Clubs, Chambers of Commerce, etc. Copies of the application forms can be obtained from the Office of Services to the Aging or regional Area Agencies on Aging (AAA’s). Adult Graduation ceremony set The Future of Education “School is a building that has four walls... With tomorrow inside.” ... Lon Watters The effects of education are wide spread and never ending. The fact is, we lack a method of predicting the future of our children, our lives or our world. However, we can predict, with all certainty, that apathy and mediocrity in education will be a burden we will all bear forever. The rewards of quality education are perpetual. The returns will most certainly benefit society far beyond our imaginations. Our children deserve the quality education that will prepare them for the future. Now we have the opportunity to secure that quality in education for our children in Maple Valley.

Carrie Roush, age seven, was the winner from grades 1-4. Lisa Burkett, 11, won with her essay in grades 5-9. Here are the winning essays: What kind of student should 1 be? Why is it important that I study? by Carrie Roush God wants me to be the best student I can be. I should be loving and caring. I should not get mad and should be a good listener. I should always be nice to people. I should pay at­ tention to my work. I would read by PACE’s. I would say my Scripture every week. I think it is important to study because I like to study and it is fun. Especially my math. One thing about it is sometimes it is hard and I have to ask for help. But, God gave me a good enough brain so that I could do it. I think that if you do not study and work hard at school you would not be able to do it when you grow up. I like to study lots and lots. Sometimes I think I Carrie Roush Lisa Burkett would like to have homework. Why is learning important? by Lisa Burkett I think learning is unpor­ tant because ifyou don’t learn you won’t be able to become anything in life. You won’t feel like you are anybody because you won’t be able to ac­ complish anything in life. Another reason learning is important is that God wants you to be all you can be. Ifyou don’t learn then you can’t be all that you can be. In some parts of the world, they can’t learn but I think no matter where they live, everyone should learn. I am glad that the United States is able to have schools and col­ leges where people can learn. Without people learning, I Eaton County Extension don’t know where the United States would be right now. I think the reason I must study is that if I do, I can get good grades and make my mom and dad proud of me. When I study and get good grades I feel good about myself, but when I get bad grades I know that I must study harder for my next test. I think the kind of student God wants me to be is a kind student. I think He wants me to think of others rather than thinking of myself all the time. I should also try to be as much like Christ as I can be. I think that God wants me to be the best student I can be.

Trowbridge Service 130 S. Main St., Vermontville - Ph 726-0569 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 20, 1986 Tax law change could help farmers t ^Siw •'■hiji ‘■intasu, rWrt'ifcfiCi I ilWharii ? vbi ■tail! A recerit change in federal tax law could substantially reduce the federal tax that insolvent farmers pay when transferring land ownership to a lender or selling land to avoid foreclosure. Margaret Mitchell, a tax consultant with Farm Credit Services of Mid-Michigan, explained that the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act signed by President Reagan on April 7 could be helpful to insolvent farmers who have had land transactions during the past three years or who plan to do so in the future. “Any farmer who has sold land to avoid foreclosure or transferred ownership of land to a lender because of insolvency and who has filed a Form 6251 for the Alter­ native Minimum Tax since 1982 could be eligible to file an amended tax return and get a refund,” Mitchell said. “Additionally, any farmer whose financial position may make it necessary in the future to transfer land ownership to a lender or sell to avoid foreclosure could benefit from this tax law change,” Mitchell said. The legislative change creates an exemption to the alternative minimum tax, making it possible for in­ solvent farmers to protect a larger portion of their capital gains from the alternative minimum tax provisions offederal tax law. “Due to the prolonged depression in agricultural income and continued devaluation of the assets farmers own, many more farmers are liquidating their real estate assets or simply deeding the land back to the lender because the out­ standing debt exceeds the value of the land,” Mitchell said. “This new tax provision makes that procedure less costly for farmers from a tax stand­ point,” Mitchell said. Mitchell encourages farmers who believe they could qualify for this new exemption to contact a professional tax consultant.

Betz, Extension Agricultural Agent Proper management techniques when silo filling have a greater influence on silage quality than the use of additives or preservatives. “In a silo, the forage is stabilized and preserved by acids that form during fermentation,” says J.W. “Bill” Thomas, Michigan State University Extension dairy specialist. “Rapid HORSE TACK New & used saddles Bridles • Harness • collars wormers* Grooming Aids Open Barn at... Justin Carriage Works American Morgan Horses in Action Handcrafted Carriages on Display Saturday, June 7th __ 1:00 P.M. Justin Carriage Works 5 Miles South of Nashville on M-66 10%off for 4-H 852-9743 Members NASHVILLE development of these acids reduces the dry matter loss and improves the quality of the silage.” Thomas explains that a high bacteria count, which causes natural sugars to ferment, stablizes the silage. This high bacteria count is often obtained by proper ensiling methods. About 100,000 bacteria per gram of forage, along with an ample sugar content to feed the bacteria, are required to produce enough lactic acid to preserve silage, Thomas says. Far­ mers ensiling a hay crop cannot know the microbial counts on it, however, so some farmers have begun to use live inoculants to provide a sufficient number of bacteria and to increase dry matter recovery. Thomas says inoculants may increase dry matter recovery by about two percent, or about 16 to 20 pounds of dry matter recovery per ton of forage. With hay valued at $75 per ton, the increased value achieved by using an inoculant would be 67 to 83 cents per ton, but the cost of the inoculant ranges from 70 cents to $1.30 per ton. “Inoculation should not be considered a practice with a high return on investment,” Thomas says. “Emphasis should be placed instead on proper ensiling practices.” To develop a proper bacteria count, Thomas recommends a hay crop yield of at least two tons of dry matter per acre. A rainfall of at least one-tenth inch during the four days prior to ensiling and a wilting period longer than one day improves bacteria growth. Though temperatures must be at least 60 degrees F to promote bacteria growth, the old adage “make hay while the sun shines” does not apply to ensiling. The sun’s ultraviolet rays kill the bacteria in the hay. Bacteria numbers on swathed or windrowed hay are lowest at 2 p.m., when the sun is at maximum intensity. If a farmer is unsure about his ensiling method and wants to ensure his silage has a proper bacteria count, Thomas recommends using an inoculant that will add 100,000 live bacteria per gram of forage. These bacteria are sold frozen or refrigerated and are mixed with chlorine-free water just before being sprayed on the chopped forage. Farmer should make sure the silage has the proper moisture content, about 35 percent dry matter for bunker silos and 40 to 50 percent for upright silos, Thomas says. The silo should be filled rapidly to guarantee good packing and air ex­ clusion. A silo distribution system should be used when filling to eliminate channels of lightweight silage in the silo.

The results showed that socially desirable outcomes related to school and career aspirations tend to be associated with girls who are less exposed to sex role segregation and stereotypic situations.

Church St. Hastings, MI 49058 Published by J-Ad Graphics, Inc. 1952 N. Broadway, Hastings, Mich. 49058 P.O. Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 114 - No. 46 — Tuesday, Moy 27, 1986 Castleton Twp. takes no action on noise ordinance by Shelly Sulser Thornapple Lake area residents packed the Castleton Township Hall Wednesday in hopes that the township board would approve a noise or­ dinance, but left disappointed when no action was taken on their petition. Township Supervisor Justin Cooley said he told the residents he does not recom­ mend adopting the ordinance because he believes it can’t be enforced. “It’s not going to accomplish what they want to accomplish,” Cooley said. The Meadow Acres Trailer Park (soon to be called Thor­ napple Lake Estates) and Morgan residents claim they are disturbed by loud parties that go on early into the morn- ing, and by motorized recrea­ tion vehicles on private pro­ perty referred to as “The In­ dian Mounds.” The concern­ ed citizens petitioned the board May 7 for a noise or­ dinance, at which time the board agreed to schedule a special May 21 meeting to give the request further consideration. At the special meeting, Cooley said he had spoken with two Barry County police agencies that allegedly said they would not enforce such an ordinance. Cooley said he had spoken with Barry County Sheriff David Wood nearly one year ago about a similar matter, at which time Wood apparently told Cooley an ordinance to control noise was “unenforceable. ’ ’ getting In addition, Cooley said he also talked last Tuesday with Lieutenant Richard Zimmer­ man, commander of the adopted),” said park manager Winnie Cochran. “They said the state police and the sheriff won’t enforce it. If that’s the case, I’d like to know what we’re paying for? The township will do nothing; the police will do nothing — as long as there is no ordinance, the police are not going to come out here and the parties will go on.” The residents claim a state police trooper who had been called to the scene previously encouraged them to seek an ordinance so action could be taken to dispell the noise. But when Cooley announc­ ed that the state police told him they would not enforce it, “I was very upset,” said peti­ tion drive chairperson Shirley Hastings Team of the Michigan State Police. “I asked him, ‘if we passed a noise ordinance, would you enforce it?’ and he said just ‘no’ because it could create more problems than it would cure,” Cooley said. However, Cooley did say he would consult a lawyer concerning the procedure for serving an injunction against the property owner, a service he said the residents would have to fund. But the residents are not satisfied, some said they feel nothing was accomplished. “We got nowhere (with the ordinance Three seek two School Board Seats June 9 by Shelly Sulser Two of three candidates for school board seats in the Maple Valley district will be elected to two available four year terms when voters cast their ballots June 9. A four-year term that in­ cumbent board President Dave Hawkins currently holds will expire in June, as will the seat that LeRoy Sleeper main­ tains. Sleeper chose not to seek releection. Hoping to secure one of those positions on the board is newcomer Dale Berry, 37, of 7451 Allegan Rd., Vermontville. Berry is a microbiologist for the Michigan Department of Public Health and serves on the board of directors. He is a member of the South Central Association for Microbiology, a member of The American Society for Microbiology and coaches little league locally. Berry was formerly a member of his church’s board of trustees and deacons. Berry says he is a candidate who places a high value on quality education and respon­ sible administration of funds used by Maple Valley’s educational institutions. “We need improvement in the academic program to satisfactorily prepare students to leave high school as respon­ sible adults,” he says. “We need to develop administrative credibility by communicating the facts regarding the finan­ cial situation of our schools to the district’s voters. We need to develop unifed goals, agreed upon by teachers, ad­ ministrators, school board members and voters.” Berry feels he . is qualified for the job of school board trustee because of experience he has had on other boards which handle significant amounts of money and make decisions affecting large numbers of people, he said. “I have been a member ofthis Beatrice Pino Dave Hawkins Dale Berry community for many years and have kept informed of the affairs of the school system during that time,” said Berry. Concerning the request the board is making for additional millage, Berry said he sup­ ports additional millage directed toward improved academic programs at all levels and some support pro­ gram reinstatements. ' He and wife, Denise, a school teacher, have two children, Ethan,7, who at­ tends second grade .at Maplewood Elementary and Eren,3. Hawkins is a 1967 graduate of Maple Valley and serves as vice-president of the Maple Valley Alumni Association. He is also vice-chairman of a skilled trades technical train­ ing committee at B.O.C. plant number three and has been a member of that committee for over three years. Seeking another term is something Hawkins wants because he feels he can help to maintain continuity and ex­ perience in the educational and personnel changes in the school system, while en­ couraging a rejuvination of the learning opportunities at Maple Valley. In a questionnaire for the Maple Valley News, Hawkins lists five issues he feels are of importance in the school district today. One concerns the quality of education. “I feel that we have short­ changed our children for the last five or six years by trying to maintian the ‘back to the basics’ principle,” he said. As a result of this attitude, he said, the educational pro­ grams have been allowed to become “watered down and the condition of equipment Dave Hawkins, age 37 of 9300 Bivens Rd., Nashville, is the incumbent board presi­ dent seeking a second fouryear term. An employee of Buick-Oldmobile-Cadillac for the past 19'A years, Hawkins has served as vice-president of the Maple Valley Board of Education as well as president in the last three years. His community involve­ ment iincludes coaching girls’ softball, boys’ baseball, serv-ing as president of the Fuller Street School P.T.O., and as a member of the Maple Valley Recreational Corp,, and a member of the VFW post 8260. Nashville and buildings deteriorated. have Hawkins said he feels im­ proved public relations could restore trust and confidence in the school board and the administration. “I feel that in order to re­ establish the public’s support, all school officials must take an active role in promoting the school by personal contact with the public,” he said. He also stated that elected officials must provide direc­ tion and encourage activity in community affairs as well as school functions. “I feel that by doing this, it should help to dispell the no­ tion that most school officials are ‘above’ the ‘common folks’ that pay their salaries,” he said. Another important issue on Hawkins mind is the need for education ofthe board trustees which he called an absolute must. He stated that policy making, negotiating and group dynamics are three areas that t need some formal education. “In the area of negotia­ tions, I think it’s insane to send the untrained trustee to the bargaining table to deal with the highly trained negotiators from the unions,” he said, “but I feel that it’s Dexter, “because I could not understand why the police would tell us to get an or­ dinance and then say they would not enforce it.” Dexter felt that by the police allegedly refusing to enforce the proposed ordinance, they are dictating the law. “It seems to be just short of a dictatorship if the police can dictate what can and can not be put on the books,” Dexter said. Sheriff Wood told the Maple Valley News Thursday that if an ordinance was legally passed, his department would make efforts to enforce it because he is under obligation by law to do so. He said he could enforce such an ordinance if he wass able to obtain proper equipment, such as a decible meter, and if he had the men available at the time com­ plaints were called in. Wood said if the township should pass such an ordinance, ’ it wofild be his (Wood’s) responsibility to approach the county board to re­ quest funds to purchase a decible meter. Some of the nearly 50 people present at the special board meeting were farmers who were opposed to the ordinance, thinking it would restrict their use of farm equipment. It was suggested a clause be written into the ordinance excluding farmers, but Cooley feared a violator who was ticketed could retaliate by attacking the favored farmers. It was also alleged that members of the Barry County Board of Commissioners are against a noise ordinance in the township, but Board Chairman Carolyn Coleman told the Maple Valley News she had no knowlege of such a stand. “I know nothing about it,” she said, “so obviously we are neither for it or against it.” Cooley hopes by a possible injunction being served to the property owner, who lives in Battle Creek, that he (the pro­ perty owner) would be prompted to post a no trespassing sign on the property located behind the park. But the residents feel that will not help citizens in other parts of the township that also deal with the problem of disrupting noise. “An overwhelming majority of people want this ordinance and believe it will help. They feel he (Cooley) has betrayed their trust they put in him when he was elected / he is supposed to serve the people the best he can,” Dexter said. Although the residents thought the board would vote on the ordinance proposal at the meeting, there was no vote taken which disappointed some of the citizens present. Cooley said the board did not vote because he did not recommend adopting the ordinance. “If any of the board members had wanted the ordinance, they would have made the motion,” Cooley said. Dexter felt Cooley has not helped the disturbed residents as he allegedly promised. “We’re tired of taking what they’re dishing out and we are going to fight back using all the legal ways possible,” said Dexter, who added the board, “can not comprehend how bad the problem really is.” See related story on page two— Nashville, Vermontville men sentenced, Friday A Nashville man and a Ver­ montville man were both sentenced for unrelated of­ fenses in Barry County Cir­ cuit Court Friday, May 16. Benjamin C. Chesebro, 49, of 7981 Assyria Rd., Nashville received four to 15 years in prison for the sexual assault of a 10-year-old girl. Chesebro pleaded no con­ test to second degree criminal sexual conduct April 4. At his sentencing, defense attorney Michael McPhillips asked that Chesebro not be sent to prison, citing Chesebro’s limited mental capabilities and the wishes of his family that he not be in­ carcerated but rather sent to an adult foster care home. Judge Hudson E. Deming said he was not convinced that Chesebro could be kept from committing a similar offense if he was kept out of prison. Chesebro has a prior record that includes a cnviction for attempted criminal sexual conduct in Calhoun County in 1977. “This man did exactly what he has done in the past,” Deming said. “And I unders­ tand not just one child has been involved, but several. I doubt if this man can be rehabilitated.” In other court action, Ver­ montville resident James N. Harshman Jr., 19, was sentenced to six months injail and two years ofprobation for the March 9 break-in of Big George’s Party Store in Nashville. Harshman, of 9082 Carli­ sle, was ordered to attend a substance, abuse treatment program after completing his jail sentence. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, May 27, 1986 — Page 2 Property owner opposed to activity on Indian Mounds Shelly Sulser Sulser by Shelly The of property “The Indian owner known as Mounds” near the Meadow Acres Trailer Park says he has tried to prevent the activity that has caused residential disturbance due to increased noise from motorized vehicles and parties. J.P. Edwards of Battle Creek says he has posted “keep off’ signs on the pro­ perty on numerous occasions but the signs are often remov­ ed and knocked down. “There’s not much you can do,” he said. Residents of the area are up in arms because they are disturbed by the noise from the vehicles and loud parties they claim last into the early morning hours on the weekends at the property. Local residents petitioned the Castleton Township board for an ordinance to control it, but Supervisor Justin Cooley informed them he felt such an ordinance wass not feasible because he allegedly was told by police agencies it could not be enforced, (see realted story) Cooley said he did tell the concerned citizens that he would talk to a lawyer about procedure for filing an injunc­ tion against the property owner. Cooley met with attorney Bruce Gee of Hastings Friday morning, and Gee said he would investigate nuisance or­ dinances. Gee also told Cooley he would send a letter to Edwards informing him of the situation and that a possi­ ble law suit could result if no action is taken. “I would go along with any police officers to run them (alleged trespassers) out of there,” Edwards told the Maple Valley News late Friday. The last thing you need now is a problem paying for more car insurance. A family can have many drivers. And many drivers can mean many cars. There may be a problem with finding a full gas tank or the right keys. So you don’t need a problem with car insurance. You deserve a discount. And, that’s exactly what Auto-Owners gives families with two or more automobiles. A nice one too!

Concerning this, Hawkins said: “As I referred to earlier, the ‘back to the basics’ princi­ ple has been misused and or misunderstood. Under the cry ‘back to the basics,’ we have allowed our academic pro­ grams to stand still and in some cases fall behind of the requirements of tomorrow’s job skills. We have restricted the opportunity of our children to learn and discover. We have watched our ‘new’ (over 20 years old) facility deteriorate because of little maintenance and no preven­ tative maintenance to speak of. “Now, I feel we are seeing the scales tip back toward the middle. I feel this is because you have trustees that are aware of students needs and sensitive to the taxpayer’s ability to pay.” Hawkins said he feels the requested increase is a reasonable one, and feels that the additional money will be because will be Nashville on Monday, June 2, at the United Methodist Church from 1-6:45 p.m. Blood type O donors are especially encouraged to donate again.

Leading the Stanton pack of 16, including city officials and spouses, was Mayor Sam McFarland, who was presented a key to the village ofNashville by President John Hughes. The Nashville officials were the first to make the ‘ex­ change,’ visiting Stanton on Monday, where they toured the Montcalm County seat. The tour included viewing the intermediate school district headquarters, the sheriff department and the cour- thouse, along with a visit to nearby Montcalm Community College. . The Nashville clan was also entertained there by a group called “The Harmonettes”. When the Stanton group made the return visit to Nashville Wednesday, all were treated to rolls and cof­ fee, courtesy of Good Time Pizza in Nashville. The visitors were then taken on a tour of Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School, where they met Hughes and the key presentation was made. All had lunch at the Mulberry Fore golf course, and continued on to tour Cur­ tis Industries. Other stops on the Nashville tour included a visit to the fire bam, Kent Oil Company, Maple Leaf Florist, Grandma’s Greenery, the sewer ponds, transfer station and Bobbie’s Unique Nail Service. The group also viewed the decorative painted walls ofthe Nashville Community Center. “Everyone was1 impress­ ed,” noted Nashville Village Clerk Pam Godbey. Although the group was presented with many gifts, some included maple syrup and flowers. One building Godbey said the visitors found especially interesting was Putnam Public Library with much history preserved inside. “I thought it went offpretty well,” said Hughes. “We met some fine people and had a good time.” Maple Valley Schools REPORT By Superintendent Carroll J.

McGregor made several stops on the campaign trail Thursday, including one at the Country Kettle in Nashville, to kick-ff off the race for a seat Howard Wolpe presently holds. While ' in Nakhville, McGregor talked with some local people about issues such as the problem with unemployment in Michigan, noting that in the Third District, “we have more than 19,000 people out of work.” She noted the that in Nashville, Thursday unemployment rate in Battle Creek was 10.4 percent at the beginning of this year, and now stands at 9.9 percent. “This is far above the national average,” she said. She added that in the Third District, only seven percent of the population has a college degree. She claims this is because there is a lack of op­ portunities available, which in turn discourages college students and they drop out. “In Washington, I will be your salesman,’* she said. “I will talk and work with President Reagan, rather than vote aginst him 76 percent of the time. I will talk to the leaders in business, defense and finance and I will talk to the people who matter, the people who will help bring new Third District Congressional hopeful Jackie McGregor shakes hands with Barry County campaign Wendall Strickland at the Country Kettle Cafe in Nashville Thursday.

Boating safety ’Hotline' takes thousands of calls from boaters The Boating Safety Hotline, a new toll-free telephone ser­ vice inaugurated by the Coast Guard in June 1985, is helping boaters all across the country get information on boating safety recalls and other safety-related topics. The Hotline has been set up by the Coast Guard on an ex­ perimental basis to do three things: 1) Tell boat owners and buyers whether or not a particular boat model has been involved in a safety recall (in some recalls, manufactures are only able to notify 20-30 percent of current owners); 2) Thke reports from owners concerning safety pro­ blems they are experiencing in their boats and determine if a safety recall is warranted; and 3) Answer technical ques­ tions on boating safety matters. In the first six months of operation, the Hotline receiv­ ed nearly 3000 calls. Perhaps one ofthe greatest benefits of the Hotline is realized when it is publicized and used in con­ junction with the list of cur­ rent boating safety recalls be­ ing conducted by boat and engine manufacturers (Note: This list is published by the Coast Guard in the “Boating Safety Circular” and by news release). When the recall list is published, word gets around that so-and-so manufacturer is conducting a recall for such-and-such a boat or engine When owners hear this, they call the Hotline to verify if their particular boat is involved in the recall. Often, the caller discovers the boat he or she owns is the one nam­ ed in the recall and they have never received notification from the manufacturer. The Hotline has received safety defects to many owners in this way. Benefits of the Hotline are being felt in other ways, too. The Coast Guard is starting to receive reports from boat owners regarding safety pro­ blems they are experiencing with their boats. As a result, several recall campaigns have already been generated through information and com­ plaints received on the Hotline. An analysis ofthe questions being asked on the Hotline is also helping shape Coast Guard consumer information efforts. For example, recent calls show that boaters want more information about Marine Sanitation Device re­ quirements, and re­ quirements for importing foreign-built boats that many not comply with Coast Guard Boating Safety Standards, and many boaters have ques­ tions about the content of the various Safety Standards, often so they can verify com­ pliance of their own boat. As a result of this, the Coast Guard Consumer Staff has published three new Con­ sumer Fact Sheets to cover these topics. The Boating Safety Hotline is run by the Office of Boating, Public, and Consumer Affairs in Coast Guard Headquarters. The Hotline is in operation from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. eastern time, Monday thru Friday, ex­ cluding Federal holidays. The toll-free number is 800-368-5647. 90th birthday celebrated Pam Peterson and Louise Reickord cordially invite you to share in the happy occasion of Mrs. Fordyce (Melissa) Showalter's 90th, birthday on June 4, 1986, by sending a card to her at 100-A Lentz Street, Nashville, MI, 49073.

In the annual school elec­ tion June 9, voters will be ask­ ed to approve an additional four mills, as well as a 16.71 mill renewal for three years for school operations and maintenance. Specific proposed im­ provements, outlined at a special school board meeting last month, included expan­ ding the counseling and secondary services by adding an additional counselor at the jr.-sr. high and reinstating a counselor at the elementary level. Superintendent Carroll Wolff also noted the funds are needed to hire a music teacher for the elementary grades. Some other 1986-87 school year goals include repairing the roofs of the jr.-sr. high, Fuller, and Kellogg schools, purchasing audio visual equipment, increasing the budget allowance by $788 for more library books and purchasing equipment such as tables, files, desks, chairs and vacuum cleaners. In 1987-88, the district hopes to employ two addi­ tional teachers for physical education and art instruction at the elementary level. A need for one additional half time speech therapist was also indicated. Other projects for that school year include the pur­ chase of additional equipment for replacement of old equip­ ment and the need for general maintenance and roof repair to be completed on a five year plan. In the 1988-89 school year, the schools hope to buy addi­ tional equipment such as chairs, tables and desks to replace old ones, as well as complete roof repair at Fuller and Maplewood schools. One major purchase would be that of a new computer for the cen­ tral office to be used for general fund accounting. Wolff said the nearly $480,000 the district would gain from the four extra mills ($4.00 on each $1,000 state equalized valuation). is “for the future educational oppor­ tunities of the students.’’ He added that the reinstate­ ment of the teachers “would be a plus for the students.’’ Although he is optimistic about the millage proposal be­ ing a successful one, Wolff did say that his plans would not be implemented should the proposal fail. “If we don’t get the four additional mills, we won’t have the money to put these programs into place,” he said, but “Let’s look at the positive side that it will be successful and we’ll be able to proceed with the im­ provements, not only in the instructional program but in the building maintenance and repairs as well.” Also on Monday’s ballot will be three candidates seek- ing two available four year terms on the board of educa­ tion. Incumbent board presi­ dent David Hawkins is seek­ ing reelection while Dale Berry of Vermontville and Beatrice Pino ofNashville are also seeking election to the board. Township adopts resolution on millage request Vermontville Township voters will be asked to ap­ prove two millage questions, pertaining to Opera House repairs, at an upcoming election. The township first approved a proposal to ask voters for a special one mill increase for four years in March and last week adopted a resolution to place it on the ballot. Voters will also be asked to approve a proposal to exceed the 15 mill limit in order to pass the one mill increase. The millage request was proposed by Opera House Restoration Committee Chairperson Pat O’Dell as a means to renovate the historic landmark for use as a com­ munity center. Township officials were not sure at press time whether voters will vote on the millage in the August primary or the November general election. O’Dell, along with other members ofthe committee ex­ plored the Opera House last winter to document needed repairs and obtain cost estimates. The committee found that it would cost nearly $90,000 to restore the existing restrooms, kitchen; floors, electricity, etc. According to officials, the one-mill increase alone would generate nearly $16,604 each year it is levied. Although roof repairs were also included in that estimate from two local contractors, the township has already replaced the entire Opera House roof, at a cost of $3,800. Of that, $2,000 was donated for roof repair by the library board. In other township business, the board: —Voted to place a double seal coat of tar and gravel on Mason Road. —Agreed to spend $8,000 on gravel to be put in various spots on township roads where needed. —Discussed the possible purchase of property on the comer of South Main and East First Streets, the site ofthe old drugstore that was recently demolished. Sampson said if the decision is made to pur­ chase the property, it is possi­ ble a township hall could be built there where the board could, meet and voting machines would be housed. “It’s just in the talking stages right now,” Sampson said. Nashville Co-op Elevator out of business after more than 60 years of service The Nashville Co-op Elevator in Nashville has closed it’s doors for good, en­ ding an association that has lasted for 66 years. “Business just declined steadily over the last four years,” said Manager Sherry Varney of the reason for closing. “It’s just more of an economical thing. A lot of farmers went out of business and that kept business away from us.” She added that another conAll property owned by the Nashville Co-op Elevator was sold at auction Saturday marking the end of the co-op association. Ernie Sdnnerville left and Jim Warren are the new owners of the Nashville Co- op Elevator Store where they hope to open a farm and garden center. tributing factor to the declin­ ing business was outdated equipment and machines. “We just didn’t keep up with the times,” Varney stated. Varney said the elevator has been sold to Roger Gardner who has indicated he has plans to tear down the existing structure, built there in 1879. In addition, the store building where feed and other farming accessories were sold, was sold at auction Saturday to Ernie Sonnerville and Jim Warren of Martin. The pair said they plan to have the store open for business within two weeks, having many of the same type items available. “We’ll have feed, farm and lawn and garden supplies so people in Nashville will have a place to come for that,” Warren said, noting they may call it Jim and Ernie’s Farm and Garden Center. “People are sad to see it go but they understand why. I’m sad to see it go too,” said Varney who has plans to seek another job. As a result of the closing, area farmers who have stayed in business will have to take their products to Lake Odessa, Hastings or Charlotte for service. Located on Nashville’s South Main Street, the elevator was built over a cen­ tury ago by Ainsworth and Brooks and became rated as one ofthe finest in this part of the state. Later, H.A. Brooks took Richard Townsend into the business, but that partner­ ship was dissolved in 1901 when Brooks sold his interest to Townsend. In 1920, Town­ send sold out to the newlyformed Nashville Co-op Elevator Association, incor- portated for "People are sad to see it go but they understand why This over a century old structure built in Nashville in demolished. that year $40,000. 1879 will soon be �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, June 3, 1986 — Page 2 Vermontville’s “Little Field” gains national interest in book by former local baseball star conducting training camps for young aspiring baseball en thusiasts at Manchester Col­ lege in North Manchester, Indiana.

The following is an update on the man who went on from Vermontville to pitch minor league baseball for the New York Yankees, and later to scout for the Detroit Tigers and 21-years for the Pittsburg Pirates.

I never dreamed the book would be read by so many people all over the country; as a result people write me from all over asking questions about not only the records, but about Vermontville. Most records set at high school, or elsewhere for that matter, do not usually stand the test of time for an extend­ peared around the country concerning my high school baseball pitching records at Vermontville. I thought perhaps I should keep you up to date on those records and why baseball fans seem to be very i nterested in how and ed period. My pitching when they were set.

The last thing you need when you’re over 55, is a problem paying for your car insurance. Age has its rewards. Sometimes. It does with Auto-Owners. They give good drivers age 55 or older a discount. So instead of raising your premiums or reducing your coverage you may pay a little less for your auto insurance. Auto-Owners respects maturity and a good driving record. Just ask your “no problem” Auto-Owners agent how he can save you money on your car insurance. When you hear the news, you’ll be glad you’ve got a few years behind you. Trumble Agency 517-726-0580 178 S. MAIN, VERMONTVILLE Stan Trumble Teresa Jones years. I guess this is one ofthe reasons that there continues to be great interest. After all, how many high school pit­ chers in the country have had an opportunity to out-perform those performances — the answer is of course, countless numbers. The questions I receive fre­ quently are: Is the field still in use in Vermontville? Its size, and where in town is it located? Is the high school still in Vermontville? Is the house where I lived still stan­ ding? Does Vermontville still have a winning baseball team? How is it possible to strike out 19 of every 21 hitters as I did in 1949? Do you have any baseballs used in the games that you would sell? I thought you might enjoy receiving some information on the above questions. Number one, the field is still used for recreation in Ver­ montville, but as far as I know, is not used for baseball games, at least not high school and adult teams. There were no fences and when a ball was hit well it would carry over the street behind the regular playing field. It was a very difficult field in which to pitch and face good hitters. I learn­ ed a great deal about pitching from throwing on this little field. You simply could not afford to make mistakes. Number two, the field was located just one block off Main Street and bordered East First Street. Number three, the house where I lived with my parents sat right next to the field and is no longer stan­ ding. Number four, the high school is of course con­ solidated with Nashville now, and I do not know a thing about their baseball program. Number five, how is it possi­ ble to strike out that many hit- ters (452) in 25 games? I’ve always felt that in order to strike out hitters, a young pitcher must have two great pitches and good control. When I was scouting young pitchers for the Pittsburg Pirates, I hardly ever saw a boy fastball and a by with a great g great curveball and the ability to keep both of them in the strike zone. I’ve scouted boys who could throw harder than I could, but just throwing hard does not set records. At an early age, I had an outstanding curveball and I could always put it in the strike zone. When I was 17 years of age, I worked out a system of pitching that I stuck with until I was injured at the age of 23 and could' no longer pitch. I’ve always tried to impress on young pitchers how very important it is to have a great memory for hitters and to be a great student ofthe game. Pitching is more than half head work. I get very disgusted watching big league pitchers today because they make so many mistakes, mistakes. 219 Washington St., Nashville Sun. School.. 9:45 Sunday: AM Worship. ..11 P.M. Worship .. 6 Wed.

Yet I never pitched a game after my 23rd birthday, (due to a back injury). My advice to young pitchers has always been: set very high goals for yourself. Work constantly on all parts of pitching and be a good listener, particularly when experienced, successful, pitchers are doing the talking. Get yourself a good pitching motion and stick with it. Develop the ability to throw strikes and change speeds on both your breaking pitch and your fastball.

Probably the first such shutterbug was Em­ manuel J. Feighner, whose family, the Henry Feighners, settled here in 1854, and who by at least 1870 was well established in a photographic and ambrotype studio in the fledgling village. Other local photographers of the 19th century included A.S. Mount, A.J. Beebe, F.P. Morrison, C.J. Whitney, C.M. Early, Orson and Ruby VanNocker, and E. H. VanNocker. The latter is remembered for the graphic staged scenes he captured on film through the use ofprops. In addition to creating a tableaux posed by local subjects, E.H. VanNocker was ahead of his time in using such special effects as mirrored reflections to pro­ vide both a “front” and “back” view of the subject in one shot. At least two of the staged scenes by VanNocker are on display in the Michigan and Local History Room at Put­ nam Public Library. In one photo, six young attributed to any photographer but seems to be the work of scenario complete with ailing VanNocker. It portrays a patient. Another picture por­ group of local women enjoy­ trays a bevy of charming tum- ing a tea party. Only one of of-the-century maidens enjoy­ the ladies is identified. If you ing a tea party as they receive can name any of the others in instruction in social graces the photo, please contact your from a prim and proper, but reporter, Susan Hinckley, by youthful looking teacher. Recently, Helen Fumiss of women enact Nashville a nursing presented the library with an additional VanNocker photograph in which her mother, the late Elsie (Mayo) Fruniss, is pic­ tured along with several other young ladies of the communi­ ty. A sign hanging in the background indicates the oc­ casion is a Knights of Pythias banquet staged February 19, 1894. From their attire, it appears that the girls may have served as waitresses. They appear to be getting instructions in serv­ ing tea from a “teacher”. There is also the possibility that the group may have pro­ vided some sort of skit at the banquet. All the This nursing tableau is typical of E. H. Van Nocker's special effects photography. He was also ahead of his time in the use of mirrors for dual reflections in his photos. Front row, from left, are Tad Hough, Mildred Hough (as patient) and Nurse Osmun (she married Lynn Miller). Back, from left to right: Ethel Wilkinson, Ruby Van Auker, and Weta Wilkinson. * young women are identified, as are the subject in the VanNocker nursing tableau. Another scene in the local history collection at Putnam Public Library is not directly Tea party of Nashville women could well be the theme of this unidentified photo. Although it is attributed to no particular photographer, it has all the earmarks of E. H. VanNocker's work. The circa-1890s photo is part of the local history collection at Putnam Public Library. Only identified person in the picture is Lulu (Feighner) Cressy, at left in middle row. The sign in the background states that these young Nashville girls are "Fairies of the K. of P. Banquet, Feb. 19, '94." It is presumed that there were waitresses at the meal, or perhaps they furnished a skit for entertainment.

I would also like to mention that I will not be having my baseball summer camp this coming season. For 17 years, Charley Maxwell, the former great Detroit Tiger outfielder, has helped me put on a camp for youngsters ages 9-18. Here in Indiana, I have held the camp at Manchester Col­ lege. Because of scheduling problems, I have decided to discontinue the camp for the present. I will certainly miss not seeing all those great young faces each summer. I would also like to mention that my books continue to keep me very busy. Besides “Little Field on the Comer”, three others are presently in thousands of libraries and perhaps will be in schools and libraries in Indiana before the year is out. In closing, I would like to say I’ve always enjoyed baseball and consider it to be the greatest game in the world. I’ve pitched games in Cuba, Canada, and all over the country, but no park gave me greater enjoyment than the little field in Vermontville. I’m very pleased that people around the country are talking about Vermontville and the baseball records. I know from letters that many will visit the village and look up various sites mentioned in “Little Field on the Comer.” I’ve always thought the people of Vermontville and general area to be the best anywhere. Whenever I speak at banquets around Indiana the subject of Vermontville always comes up and I’m so pleased to be able to talk about those great years back in the 40’s.

The 10 are: Jamie Appelman, Melissa Brenton, Heather Christie, Polly Cook, Susan Lightner, Brendon McCullin, Renee Sears, Jeff Sleeper, Mike Smith and Carmen Tobias. “Usually if we get three (accepted for the scholarship) we’re doing pretty good but this year we sent 10 for an in­ terview and all were awarded the scholarship,’’ Rooks said. “It’s just never happened before.” Rooks said the scholarship is only available to students who live in Eaton County and from 20 to 30 ofthe Vomberg Scholarships are given out. One third of the available scholarships were won by the Maple Valley students.. Rooks said that normally, the scholarship committee asks that schools send nott more than six students for the interview in Charlotte, but Rooks said he felt he could not send less than 10. “Apparently, they couldn’t narrow it down either since all 10 10 got it,” he sajd. Rooks said the procedure for being in contention for the scholarship involved first completing an extensive ap­ plication form; concerning academic achievements, extra curricular activities and finan­ cial need.

The amount each student will get will be decided at a later date, when it is determin­ ed how much each needs for college. “One might get $100 and another might get $1,000,” Rooks explained. He added that when he learned early last month that all 10 students had been accepted, “I was just absolutely estatic.

Local woman’s grandson gets national award The United States Achieve­ ment Academy has announced that Harold J. (Bud) Roun­ dhouse, grandson of Mrs. Leah Phillips of Nashville, has been named a U.S. National Award winner in history and government. This award is a prestigious honor very few students can ever hope to attain. In fact, the Academy recognizes less than 10-percent of all American high school students. Roundhouse, who attends Mesick High School, was nominated for this National Award by Thomas Warnock, a history and government in­ structor at the school. Roun­ dhouse will appear in the Achievement Academy Of­ ficial Yearbook, published nationally. He is the son of Jay and Sandra Roundhouse. Correction— The Nashville council did not vote to purchase a lawn mower as was stated in last week’s paper. The council did vote on the proposal, but the motion died due to a tie vote. The Maple Valley News regrets the error. The 27-member Citizens’ Commission was named by the Michigan Supreme Court in January to recommend how courts can improve their services to the people who use them. The Commission is holding five public hearings to give in­ dividuals and organizations an opportunity to present their views on the operation of the Michigan court system and suggestions for needed changes. Other hearings will be held in Marquette on June 9 and Detroit on June 25. Hearings in St. Joseph and Gaylord are being held prior to the Grand Rapids hearing. The Rt. Rev. Joseph Breitenbeck, the Catholic Bishop of Grand Rapids and Secretary of the Commission, will chair the Grand Rapids hearing. State Supreme Court Justice Patricia J. Boyle said appoint­ ment of the blue-ribbon Com­ mission is part of a four-point program to improve Michigan courts. In addition to developing a plan to make courts “user friendly,” the program calls for reducing delay in courts, shifting funding for courts from local governments to the state and improving court ser­ vices for neglected and abused children and their families. The Citizens’ Commission is expected to issue its final report and recommendations in mid-September. Boyle, who is Supervising Justice for the Commission, said person who are unable to attend a public hearing but would like to express their views on Michigan courts may do so by sending them to Courts, P.O. Box 30052, Lansing, 48909. She said the Commission is particularly in­ terested in hearing from per­ sons who have had personal experiences in courts—crime victims, jurors, Witnesses and persons who have been in­ volved in lawsuit.

The styrofoam boxes and, aluminum and plastic-coated wrappers are visual pollution on Michigan highways and on private property. It costs the state a large amount of money annually and property owners a great deal oftime to clean up this refuse. This type of expense seems extraordinarily frivolous when we realize the fast food industry could switch to biodegradable packaging without increasing its costs or the cost to the consumer. The bill, which has more than 30 co-sponsors, could encourage research on improved, more environmentallysound packaging for all types of products. In addition, biodegradable containers put less of a strain on landfills and more cleanly and efficiently incinerated than styrofoam and plastic-coated ones. The idea of keeping our roadsides clean is a popular one. We took a giant first step when the state opted for retur- nable cans and bottles. At a time when Michigan is attempting to promote itself as a tourism state, we don’t need cluttered roadways to jeopardize- this effort. New Law May Give Farmers Relief From High Property Taxes Michigan farmers may enjoy relief from unreasonably high property taxes under a new state law. The new law (P.A.200), sponsored by State Representative Lad Stacey (R-Berrien Springs), allows assessors and equalization boards to use sale prices from auctions in determining the state equalized value of farm land. Farmers have been facing unrealistically high assessments and, therefore, higher property taxes because auction sales could not be used in determing the value of their land. This is a big step toward making sense out of farm assessments.

Approval of the one cent checkoff would bring Michigan growers in line with check-off provisions that exist in 26 other states. Three states have two cent checkoffs, growers in 20 states con­ tribute one cent per bushel, and producers in three states are assessed one-half cent a bushel. Michigan's checkoff has been in existence since 1977. In addition to supporting market promotion overseas, it has supported research at Michigan State University in three areas: -- Varietal breeding. This research was funded in 1982 and is intended to identify varieties that will perform well in Michigan's soils and climate, which differ from those of other soybean- adaptation of soybean varieties from other states risky. -- Production research.

'Net wt. Soybeans can stunt wheat By Allen P. Krizek County Ext. Director Planting wheat into heavy soybean residue can reduce yields as much as 29 percent. Scott Abney, USDA pathologist at Purdue Univer­ sity, believes that soybean residue must be distributed evenly or toxic substances released by the decaying residue will hinder seedling emergence and growth. To reduce the effects of the toxicity in no-till fields, Abney suggests that residue should be distributed evenly with a straw spreader or other device after harvest. Under reduced tillage with a chisel plow, residue should be thoroughly disked throughout the soil so the residue will degrade more rapidly. Under conventional tillage, residue should be plowed well below the seedling area to minimize the effect of toxic substances on the next wheat crop. Yield losses may be offset by other benefits that accrue when wheat follows soybeans. They include reduced damage by two serious fungal diseases of wheat -eye-spot and Fusarium scab—and nitrogen left by the soybean residue. Soybean yields under no till have been significantly higher in rotations with soybeans following wheat than in comsoybean rotations or in con­ tinuous soybeans. 1.37 Hyponex® Potting Soil All purpose potting soil for starting new plants. 20-qt. ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttTnnnnnnnTnnnTnTTnnnffnnnT Ka1Sm* a >#Dil Dil * # r»X* sw sw A .fir l..A A^ J> •>< >< J*f^' d,A $$$ Barry County Extension CALENDAR OF EVENTS 3.66 1-Pint Liquid Sevin Kills insects on roses, vege­ tables, flowers and trees.

Vol. 114 - No. 48 — Tuesday, June 10, 1986 Castleton Twp. board hires law firm to draft noise ordinance Barry County Sheriff Dave Wood was present at the Castleton Township meeting last week to address the township noise ordinance issue with the board and residents. (Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) by Shelly Sulser Residents ofthe Thornapple Lake area who are seeking a township noise ordinance may get their wish, if the township board follows through with plans it made last week. The Castleton Township Board agreed at a meeting Wednesday to hire the Mid­ dleville law firm of Siegel, Hudson, Gee, Shaw and Fisher to draft a noise or­ dinance due to continued com­ plaints by the Meadow Acres and Morgan residents. The or­ dinance would exclude agricultural equipment. According to the residents of the mobile home park and the small burg, some people are riding dirt bikes and other off road vehicles continuously late into the evening arid early morning hours on weekends. In addition, they claim all­ night parties are held on the property behind the park known as “The Indian Mounds”, where loud music and other nuisances allegedly occur. Although the disturbed citizens had petitioned the board last month to adopt a noise ordinance to curb the nuisance, no action was taken. However, township super­ cooperate,” he said. “I’m as visor Justin Cooley did agree interested in keeping them off to consult an attorney regar­ the property as anybody but I ding the matter. don’t know of any way to do it Cooley did meet with At­ short of posting guards.” torney Bruce W.

Key Show continued from front page— best displays in three categories at a banquet Satur­ day night. Tables can be reserved by sending $8 to Homer Snow, 732 Sherman Street, Nashville or by Clerk Sharon Stewart said the action came partly due to a rate increase imposed by Les’s Sanitary Service and by the amount of funding it costs to operate. Stewart said it costs $75 per month for the service, plus an additional $360 for the sanitary company to empty the dumpster twice each month. With the rate increase of $5.50 per yard for the 40 yard dumpster, Stewart said it would cost a total of $515 each month to keep the dump station open. Although the village has shared the cost to run the dump station equally with Vermontville Township, the village has control of the operation, Township Super­ visor Ed Sampson said. Bailey made the suggestion to close the site after com­ pleting a one month study that involved documenting the Vermontville residents will no longer be able to dump their trash at the village transfer station after July 12, the date the village council has decided to shut down the operation. calling 852-9455.

Ray Kamalay and Joe Mabus both from Lansing have been playing together in­ termittently for 10 years. Mabus has cut three solo albums, has played concerts with David Bromberg and ap­ peared on Prairie Home Com­ panion, while Kamalay has played concerts with Steve Goodman and Doc Watson. The fast paced bluegrass style and variety of old time music which have become the trademark of the Sweet Corn string Band of Kalamazoo will be evident as they return to Charlton Park for their 16th performance.

Howell adds another chapter to his boyhood memories (Note: Today’s column is written by Guy W. Howell of Tucson, Arizona, and is his sixth such offering recalling his growing-up days in Nashville. The earlier stories were published in May and December, 1983; July and December, 1984; and August, 1985. In addition, Howell authored an article on the old Culp Bakery in Nashville which appeared in this column in August 1982. Born in 1914 in Battle Creek, Guy moved to Nashville in 1918 with his parents, the late Ransom and Florence (“Alabama”) Howell. He left the com­ munity in 1943, and has spent most of his adult years in the South and Southwest. Now retired at Tucson, Howell enjoys varied hob­ bies including gardening, photography, and astronomy. He is also a self­ employed bookbinder in his spare time. We are indebted to him for the following piece in which he shares a collection of boyhood memories.) Memories No. 6 by Guy W. Howell Well, here goes with another Memories article. I’m sorry this one will be shorter than the others, but I had quite a time getting this much. However, here goes. When I was in my teens I used to wrestle quite a lot. Not meaning to brag, but I was pretty good at it, too. Sometimes I deliberately let my opponent get a scissorshold around my middle. I would set the muscles of my stomach and then reach around and get a toe-hold on my opponent. The scissorshold didn’t last long; I had broken it (not the toe, but the scissors hold). One day five boys, a little smaller than I, jumped me. When the scuffle was over, I had won. Also, along about that time, Voyle Varney was trying to get into boxing in the Golden Gloves. I used to go over to his place and put on the gloves with him as his sparring partner. He never made the Golden Gloves, but we had a lot of fun boxing. We used to buy quite a bit of Cracker Jacks when I was young and had the money to do it. It was five cents a box, or three for a dime in the A & P Store. The boxes were about three times the size of those today. There was always some kind ofprize inside. We never waited until we ate down to the prize. We always dug down for it, or poured the Cracker Cracker Jack Jack into into our our hands, hands and were so thrilled over the . prize we found. Along in the mid-1930’s the Michigan legislature passed a 3% sales sales tax. tax. George George 3% VanDeventer told me that one day a man came into the store and wanted to buy a car battery. George told him the As a lad of about 9, Guy Howell accompanied his parents to the home of a neighbor to hear his new console radio. In those days three dials had to be lined up to bring in a station, recalls Guy, and log books were necessary to keep track of the various numbers. This October 1929 ad from The Nashville News is for early local hardware dealer Seth I. Zemer, whose store was located in what now is Smoky and Flo's restaurant. He died in a car-pedestrian accident near Scottville in 1936. Everything in Gifts The Dream of the Public Has Come True The addition of a newly-enacted state sales tax to the price of a car battery at Van's Auto Accessories store (seen at extreme left in photo) resulted in an inci­ dent remembered by Howell. George VanDeventer, proprietor of the business starting in the mid-1930s, also took over operation of the adjacent Hi-Speed gasoline station in 1943. His place served as a friendly gathering place for local youths of that era. price,and added, “And there will be so-much sales tax.” The man got mad and left the store. He went back the next day and told George he had I went to acted foolishly. Battle Creek,” he said, “and bought a new battery, but when I came to pay for it, I had to pay the tax anyway. And - the price of the battery was higher than yours. I apologize. I used to be pretty good at winning candy on the candy punch boards. There used to be a service station on the nor­theast comer of Main and Reed streets. The man who ran it had candy boards at a nickel a punch. I would wait until the board didn’t have many punches on it. Then I would check on how much candy was left. If there was enough, I would buy the whole board. One time I saw that there was a five-pound box of chocolates, two onepound boxes and two onepound boxes of chocolate cherrries. There was a total of $1.50 in punches left on the board. I took it and got nine Quality and Price sell my Circulating Heaters The hope ofthe millions ofMusic and College Sports is now realized. YOU CAN NOW OWN A RADIO Without a hardship.

ZEMER Buy a Higher Quality for Less Money. It Pays. All Kinds Guns and Ammunition pounds of candy for $1.50. Even back in the 30’s that was a good price. I used to go hunting rabbits my moonlight. Michigan had a law against hunting game with an artificial light. On nights when the moon was full, or nearly full, I’d take my gun and go to an old apple orchard out in the country. I’d ease into position and take aim at a rabbit, of which there were plenty, eating fallen fruit. I was using a .22 calibre rifle at the time. When I shot a rabbit, of course the others would run, but I remained real quiet and presently the rabbits would return. I’d shoot another, then pick them up and go home. We would have our meat for the next day. Nashville had two dumps one down by the flour mill, the other out Reed St. past our place. We used to prowl around those dumps, finding “treasures.” One day I found a box of percussion caps which were made for firing muzzle-loading guns. I didn’t know what I would do with them, but kid-like, I thought it was treasure. Then I go an idea of what to do with those caps. I had part of an old muzzle-loading musket. I laid one of the caps on the barrel and hit it with the hammer. They snapped pretty strong and it was fun crocking them. I had exploded a few of them when I noticed a spot ofblood on the middle finger ofmy left hand. I wiped the blood off and thought no more about it. I did, however, stop snapping the caps. Possibly a couple of weeks later I noticed a small lump on my middle finger. I watched it, but it didn’t seem to reduce any. One day in school, when I had nothing better to do, (or thought I didn’t), I took a pin and started picking around at the lump. Pretty soon I had quite an excavation in it, and I felt the pin hit something metal. It was part of a percus­ sion cap. I kept it for awhile, but then lost interest in it. The finger healed O.K. The cap was brass, and as long as it was in the t wound, the finger wouldn’t heal. When I was perhaps 10 or 12 years old, some of us boys were down by the railroad trestle over Quaker Brook. (I believe it was Quaker Brook, but I wouldn’t be exactly sure.) Anyway, we were sitting on the embankment when we saw two or three garter snakes come out of some holes, and we wondered if f we might be able to catch them. We started chasing and finally had one each. We had been told they were harmless,, so we had them coiling around our hands and arms. Finally we got tired of that, , turned them loose. But we went back several times and played with those snakes. I was probably eight or night years old, or it could have been earlier, when my Dad, Mother and I went up to Emmett Gibson’s house one evening to hear his new radio. It was a console model and was very nice looking. It had three dials, and a person had to get all three dials lined up on certain numbers before any music or anything would come in. Each dial had to be set on a different number. People in those days had what they called log books for keeping a record of stations and their dial numbers. We stayed that evening until possibly nine or 10 o’clock. When we headed for home it was dark. There were no street lights and there was a summer thunderstorm brew­ ing. When we got home I started to climb the front steps. Suddenly there was a blinding flash of lightning. I missed the step and raked my shin down the front of it. Our steps were of cement, and considerably harder than any shin. It was sore for quite awhile. I used to have a seven-foot pair of skis, and used to ski down Standpipe Hill. Lots of times I would ski cross­ country, too. One day I was going back home, and had to cross the railroad track not far from our house. Foolishly, I kept my skis on to cross the tracks. That put my weight on them when each end was on a rail. I heard a crack, took the ski off and looked. Sure enough, there was a crack on my right ski, just where the strap to hold it on my foot was fastened. The skis ofthat time were very much different from the ones of today. We didn’t have special boots to which the skis could be lock­ ed. There was a single strap that the toe of the shoe was slipped into. It didn’t matter what type of shoe was worn. Also, the rule on the length of the ski was that a person standing flat-footed on the ground could just hook the tips of his fingers over the point of the ski. Well, as I said, my ski was cracked so I started wonder­ ing how it could be fixed. Finally I came up with what I thought might be a solution. I bought bought some some metal metal mending mending plates and cut two grooves in each side of the ski, the length and depth of the plates. After getting the plates fastened, I waxed the bottom real good and went out to try them. It was perfect. I had a good pair of skis again. When I was probably about six or seven years old, my Continued on next page �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, June 10, 1986 — Page 5 nnTTTTTnnnTnnffTnnTTnnnTnnTnTnnnTnnnnnnnnrnTnTr O b ituaries H ^Hil l ||||||........ ’k' Ts" c ST -l« l«M M? ^ht ht ' ** th Polly M.

Interested residents of that area are urged to attend. An application for a $1 million grant was submitted two years ago to obtain funds through a national program to provide cost-share assistance to property owners who need ... Nancy’s Beauty Shop um MAALOX The application is being handled as a Soil Conserva­ tion Service Watershed Pro­ tection Project, authorized under Public Act 566. In addi­ tion to planning, the Barry Soil Conservation Service will be providing -technical assistance. Michigan Governor James Blanchard approved the watershed application in March. A final decision on the Mud Creek request, from the national headquarters of the Soil Conservation Service, is expected before July 1, 1987. Under the proposed volun­ tary program, if the grant is approved, landowners who are eligible and want to par­ ticipate would be involved in a matching cost share plan for the improvements they need. The grant would pay for 65-percent of a project and the individual owner would pay for 35-percent of the cost, Lukasiewicz said. “The big difference bet­ ween this cost-share program and other cost-share programs with the ASCS (Agriculture Stabilization & Conservation Service) is that we have no limitations on any one year or cumulative years,” he said. “There are no restrictions...This program is over and above existing programs...we can do more.” James Fish, chairman ofthe Barry soil and water district, will conduct the June 24 infor­ mational meeting. Speakers will include Lukasiewicz, W. Ronnie Clark, water resources specialist from Lan­ sing; and Dan Smith, assistant state conservationist for water resources. A good reason for Mud Creek Watershed residents to attend is to find out “what’s in it for you,” said Lukasiewicz. Those in the area who wonder why their property is not in­ cluded in the critical area are also welcome. More public meetings will be held after the application receives final approval.

Because Auto-Owners writes its own rental policies, they can offer you broader coverage than most. In fact, you can receive nearly the same protection that you have on your own home.

In a research study con­ ducted at the University of California School of Medicine in San Francisco, psychologist Paul Ekman and two of hi* colleagues had volunteers make six facial ex­ pressions, each signifying a specific emotion surprise, disgust, sadness, anger, fear and happiness When the vol unteers looked afraid, their bodies reacted as if they were afraid.

JOE ANDREWS, Sales Manager MARGE ANDREWS BOB GARDNER DENNIS SMITH WILBUR MARSH CHRIS STANTON CARLA SMITH GLEN RAIRIGH HANK W0UDSTRA the court. The findings will then be reported to the Legislature. Courts are responsible for informing the Secretary of State of drunk driving of­ fenses. If they are not passing on this information, a person could be stopped on a subse­ quent drunk driving violation and police agencies around the state would not have ready ac­ cess to the details of that in­ dividuals’s driving record. Under law, circuit and district courts are required to report drunk driving and other violations convictions im­ mediately to the' Secretary of State’s office so penalty points or license suspension can be assessed. It would be possible for an individual convicted of drunk driving to be operating a vehicle when, by all rights, the license should be suspend­ ed. If the state does not know about this conviction, it can­ not take action to suspend the driver’s license. The resolution received quick action by the Legislature and was suported by Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The state’s Auditor General’s office employs 130 auditors and accountants. It will have the responsibility of conducting the research. Although no timetable has been set for the report, a supervisor has been assigned and auditors are working full­ time on the project. I voted for this investigation because it will send a clear message to the courts that the Legislature is serious about the need to keep drunk drivers off the road. Mandatory Wage Reporting Begins July 1 Michigan will begin a pro­ gram this summer to verify the wages of welfare reci­ pients and applicants. Recently signed into law (P.A. 161 and 197 of 1985), mandatory wage reporting will help identify those in­ dividuals who are not repor­ ting income from jobs they hold while collecting public assistance. A computerized wage match system between the Michigan Employment Commission Security * OPEN HOUSE * Sunday, June 15 • 2 to 4 p.m. with 52 tillable acres. 14 852-0712 852-0712 726-0331 852-9191 726-1111 543-0598 852-9191 566-8057 852-0858 (MESC) is expected to be operating by July 1. By removing from the system the individuals who abuse public assistance, we are assuring that those persons who need it most will benefit. I have long supported the idea of eliminiating waste from the welfare system. By doing this, we heighten Michigan citizens’ confidence in the idea of public assistance. Wage matching is a threestep system. On a quarterly basis employers will complete a report of wages paid during the three-month period to workers covered by the Unemployment Insurance Program. The quarterly report is sent to MESC and entered on a computer that will then match the data with files of both ap­ plicants for and recipients of DSS programs. Discrepancies between the report and the case file will be investigated by DSS. Employers began the first round of reporting in January. This information will be mat­ ched against all pending ap­ plications for public assistance. It is estimated the state will save about $6 million with wage reporting this year. This system merits the Legislature’s support because it will significantly cut down on payments to those in­ dividuals who do not have a legitimate need for assistance. Infectious Disease Bill Passes Michigan House A bill that would require physicians to notify funeral directors when they release a body for burial ifthe deceased was diagnosed as having AIDS (acquired immune defi­ ciency syndrome) or any other infectious disease was approv­ ed recently by the state House. House Bill 5300 also stipulates that a funeral direc­ tor who has received the notification may not refuse services as a result of the in­ fectious disease report. The only way individuals and the state can make in­ formed decisions about the AIDS problem is with ade­ quate knowledge. Legislation that improves the transfer of information will help us get a handle on infectious diseases. The bill would also help pro­ tect funeral home workers from the risks of such con­ tagious diseases as hepatitis B, tuberculosis and typhoid. Typically, hospitals do not provide notification of the presence of these diseases and death certificates are not suffi­ ciently informative. Frequent­ ly the death certificates ar­ rives too late to the funeral home to serve as a warning to workers. The bill would re­ quire the notification arrive before the body. Information contained in the physician’s report would be confidential. The state must respect private concerns, but it also has an obligation to protect the public’s health. This legisla­ tion would help give a more definite understanding of the AIDS problem. It’s a sensible health protection measure for Michigan.

It is clear that more mos­ quitoes are drawn into a yard with a bug zapper than would fly into it on their own.’’ A few might be killed, unless they are diverted by an opportunity to feed. But the majority of the insects the bug zapper kills are harmless night-flying moths, beetles, mayflies, non-biting gnats and other non-pests. A few are even beneficial, in that they prey on insects that humans consider pests. Any of these can become nuisance pests, however, if the black light trap is placed by the patio, on a comer ofthe porch, near the back door or at one comer of the deck. “Ifpeople would think for a moment about how these traps work, they’d place them as far from the outdoor living space and entryways to the home as they could put them,” Dunn suggests. “They’re going to attract insects and, harmless or not, hordes of insects aren’t a welcome addition to outdoor By Allen P. Krizek, County Extension Director The pops and crackles from a backyard electronic bug zapper may be music to your ear, but chances are that the device isn’t killing the insects you want to eliminate. , In fact, it may be attracting even more of them to your yard than you’d have if you didn’t have the zapper. Gary Dunn, Extension en­ tomologist at Michigan State University, says electronic bug killers use black light to lure insects to their death on an electrified grid. In an enclosed space — such as a screened porch, dairy parlor milk room or hospital corridor -- they can be fairly effective. Fastened to a post in the back yard, they will kill insects — the crackling noises of insects frying on the grid attest to that — but they are not effective in ridding the area of the biting pests that people expect them to eliminate. Mosquitoes and other biting flies in search of a blood meal find their victims by detecting the carbon dioxide they give off. Though misquitoes will be drawn to a black light, they will quickly be distracted by a warm body. Horse flies and other biting flies work days and are not attracted to a black light at all. living. No one I know likes getting June bugs tangled in their hair, for instance, or gar­ nishing the products of an out­ door cookout with even create pest problems rather than reduce them.” A big selling point of these devices is that they involve no messy or toxic chemicals and so pose no threat to humans, animals or the environment. little moths. In the wrong spot, a bug zapper will increase or “They also pose no particular threat to most biting pests you want to control,” Dunn notes. “On the other doors are effective for temcontrol and are generally not toxic to humans or pets. They might give you hand, some insecticides the results you hope for from available to homeowners for an electronic bug killer at a control of biting insects out- fraction of the cost.” BETTER BETTERTHAN THAN GERRY BAKER, porary OPEN DAILY 9 a.m.-9 p.m. SUNDAY 10 a.m.-S p.m. SALE STARTS WED., JUNE 41, ENDS SAT., JUNE 14,19S6 AMERICA'S MASTER GARDNER RECOMMENDS ..

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Vol. 114 - No. 49 — Tuesday. June 17, 1986 Burr Hartenburg resigns as Maple Valley School principal by Shelly Sulser After 14 years as principal of Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School, Burr Hartenburg has resigned the post to return to classroom teaching. The board of education Monday granted Hartenburg’s request for a transfer from ad­ ministrative duties to a teaching job. Although Hartenburg could not be reached for comment, the board said he had decided his family would be “better served” with the change. Superintendent Carroll Wolff noted that Hartenburg “has given this a great deal of thought,” and “my recom­ mendation would be to grant his request.” In his letter to the board, Hartenburg requested placement in i the high school science position that will be available in the fall.. Hartenburg has been with the school system since 1959 when he taught vocational agriculture at Vermontville High School until 1964. He then left the school system to enter the insurance business, returning to teach vocational agriculture and science in 1970 after the Nashville and Vermontville school systems consolidated. . Later, in 1972, Hartenburg was added to the administration when he became principall of the jr.-sr. high. Wolffnoted that he is aware of people in the district who would be applying to replace Hartenburg as principal, in­ cluding Assistant Principal Larry Lenz. “Larry has worked with Burr closer than ever this year and helped a great deal with said Wolff. “My personal feeling is you you’’ve ve got got aa real real good good man man is in adiministration right now and if you’re looking for ex- student scheduling,” perience in scheduling, I think Larry would like the opporttunity and challenge ofbeing a junior-senior high school principal.” The board granted Harten- burg’s request, and will post the position with the major universities and within the district too. In other business, the board approved an appropriations resolution for funds to be used during the 1986-87 school year, including the 20.71 mills, 8.3 mills allocated for operational purposes and a levy of 1.35 mills for debt retirement. The general fund budget receipts are estimated at $4,518,707 position Voters approve 4-mill increase, renewal; Pino elected to board by Shelly Sulser Maple Valley School District voters approved a four-mill tax increase in the June 9 general school election, boosting available operating funds an additional $480,000 per year. “It’s a big plus,” said Maple Valley School Superintendent Carroll Wolff. “It’s very good for the future educational program of the district.” The Board of Education had asked voters to approve the four mill tax increase, along with a 16.71 extra voted mill renewal, both to be levied for three years. Wolff said the renewal proposition passed in Nashville 544 yes to 162 no, and in Ver­ montville 416 yes to 87 no. Together, the district approved the renewal 960-249. The four mill increase passed in Nashville 391-314 and in Vermontville 307-194, for a 698-508 total vote count. Wolff said district’s registered voters had not approved raising taxes since 1981 when a request for 1.4 mills for transportation was passed. Wolff added that a board appointed citizen’s advisory committee was a “big factor” in the millage approval. “I think they got more involved and directly had more contact with the public explaining the needs of the district as far as programs and maintenance ofthe facilities,” he said. He noted that the district would immediately use the ex­ tra revenues: to employ a curriculum coordinator; for major roof work at Fuller Street Elementary, Kellogg Elementary and the jr.-sr. high; for tile work on the floors in several buildings and to sand and refinish the gymnasium floor in the high school. • According to Wolff, the district plans' to also hire an additional counselor at the jr.-sr. high; a special education teacher; a special elementary reading teacher and an elementary counselor. A combined 5th-6th grade class at Kellogg School will be divid­ ed into two classes, he said. Five additional teachers will be hired at the high school to reduce the teacher load from six classes per day to five, but Wolff said that the millage in­ crease was not a factor in that decision. The 16.71 mills means voters will have to pay $16.71 on each $1,000 of property value, with the four mill in­ crease adding $4 to that figure, totaling $20.71 per $1,000 State Equalized Valua­ tion (SEV). Wolff noted at a Board of Education meeting June 9 that the distrct’s total value amounts to $60,189,204, and that the district expects to have $4,542,814 to operate until the fiscal year ends June 30, 1987. That expected operational budget includes local, state and federal revenues. Also in the election, voters reelected Board President David Hawkins with 767 votes and chose Beatrice Pino to replace LeRoy Sleeper, who did not seek reelection. Pino received 694 votes and the third candidate, Dale Berry, netted 619 votes. and $4,542,914. The athletic fund, bookstore and hot lunch accounts were also approved. The board also denied a greivance filed by high school secretary Sandie Christie who was not offered the full time of secreatary- bookkeeper in the central of­ fice to replace Pat Kivela. Sue Schwab from the Michigan Education Associa­ tion said she was told by Wolff that Pam Harvey was hired for the position because she was the best person for the job and she was the most qualified. Schwab argued that Christie is more qualified because she has eight years of experience in the district. “Experience does count for something,” Schwab said. She said that Christie had submitted two letters of recommendation with her ap­ plication for the position sup­ porting her experience in secretarial and bookkeeping work. The letters, she said, were from Larry Lenz and Burr Hartenburg. “Besides the two letters, she also had an evaluation done by Burr which was satisfactory,” said Schwab. She also noted Christie has an associate degree in accounting and business management, whereas Harvey does not, she said. “We feel she (Christie) is more qualified,” Schwab, and “we’d like to see a reversal beginning July 1.” Wolff responded by saying, “my recommendation is the same." The board upheld Wolffs decision by voting unanimously to deny the grievance. In other action, the board agreed to establish a Maple Valley Memorial Scholarship Fund, based on recommenda­ tions by Junie Jarvie and Dorothy Carpenter. The fund will be a self perpetuating fund, with only the interest being used for scholarships. The purpose of the fund is to honor and reward good, conscientious students (who may or may not be outstanding, have financial need or be scholastically high), who desire further training, and whose attitudes of study and cooperation in­ dicate a sincere desire to sucHARTENBURG, continued page 8 Burr Hartenburg Nashville Council adopts new Riverside Park field rules 6.

LITCHFIELD �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, June 17, 1986 — Page 4 Horseless carriages" brought concerns about driving in area In the era when the automobile was coming of age, so were the rules of driv­ ing. Although the first car to make an appearance in Nashville (the three-wheeled Thomas Tri-Auto) was brought to the community in 1902 by local entrepreneur Joseph C. Hurd, by the 1920s some area motorists still were learning how to safely maneuver the “newfangled” internal-combustion machines - quite a change of pace for those reared in the horse-andbuggy days. Throughout that period The Nashville News frequently carried articles offering motoring advice, including how to properly overtake and pass a horse-drawn rig on the road. By 1927, however, The News was concerned with a revision in the state vehicuar motor code that removed a standing 35-mile-per-hour limit on the open road. The new law “held the driver more strictly accountable than ever before,” warned The News, in publishing the following informative article on the front page of its issue of September 8. 1927. New Rules of the Road The new laws in regard to traffic which went into effect Monday along with a lot of other new laws, takes off the 35-mile limit which has been on the books for several years, but that doesn’t mean that a driver is under no restrictions, by any means. The law and its meaning are well explained in the follow­ ing article from the Michigan State Digest: The 35-mile an hour speed limit on country roads goes off this week, but don’t make a fool of yourself or you’ll be arrested.

Main, the home contains a mural painted in 1890 by Benedict’s daughter, Sarah Williams, on an upstairs recessed bedroom ceiling. Peabody refers to the room as “The Angel Room”, noting the mural surrounding the ceiling contains hand painted pictures ofbabies with wings. One angel, Peabody believes, is a likeness of Williams daughter. “This is the only room in the house that is ornate,” she said, adding, “There is a lot of history is this house.” Also featured are handmade quilts of Mrs. Ethol Figg, Peabody’s mother. A pair ofhomes on the tour were both built in 1890 by the Sloutfamily. One, located at 238 S.

DNR PHONE LINES GIVE UP-TO-DATE FISHING INFORMATION - Beginning anglers or seasoned fishing enthusiasts are only a phone call away from getting up-to-date information on just how well the fish are biting in Michigan each week or obtaining free brochures on how to catch Michigan fish. More than 20,000 callers each year get a line on fishing by calling the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) 24-hour fishing hotline, (517) 373-0908. This number provides anglers with information on where, how well, and what kinds of fish are biting throughout the state. The hotline is updated every Friday. To receive a free brochure on fishing techniques, interested people can call DNR’s Information Services Center at (517) 373-1220, DNR district offices and the Michigan Travel Bureau at 1-800-543-2YES. BILLS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE VOLUNTEER SERVICE TO SENIORS - Michigan’s senior citizens may benefit from two bills before the Michigan Legislature designed to increase volunteer in-home services for the elderly. House Bill 5323 and Senate Bill 685 would permit the State’s Office of Services to the Aging to establish a program under which volunteers 60 or older or members of non-profit organizations could accumulate credits. These credits could be built up and “cashed in” when volunteers themselves need services. NEW LAW ESTABLISHES PENALTIES FOR THOSE WHO ATTACK INSPECTORS - Legislation has been sign­ ed into law that would establish penalties for retailers or gas distributors who obstruct or assault Michigan Department of Agriculture inspectors.

Wheat silage or wheatlage is used quite extensively in California as a forage source. Milking performance has been good in test results. Pro­ tein content will range bet­ ween 9 and 15% and TON between 57 and 65%, depen­ ding on stage of maturity at harvest. Wheat silage will have a fairly high calcium per­ cent at about .27% compared to corn silage at .22% Phosphorus will be the same as com silage at about .27% Yields will range from 1 to 3.5 tons of dry matter per acre. As the crop matures the percent protein and TON will decrease but the yield will increase. The biggest problem in achieving good wheatlage is to harvest the crop at the pro­ per time. The moisture con­ tent needs to be between 65 and 70%. If the moisture is at 60%, too much air will be available in the hollow stems and improper fermentation and packing will take place.

This proper moisture content will be in the early dough or late milk stage. You will be able to smash the kernels easily with your fingers. Wheat ripens fairly rapidly and obtaining the 65 to 70% is a problem. There will only be Barry County Extension three to five days, depending on the weather, in which to harvest the crop. Usually a direct cut method will work the best. Another important point in making good wheatlage is to use a fine chop. Chopping the wheatlage at 14 to % of an inch will help assure proper packing and fermentation in the silo. Extension Service offers landscape publication Planting and caring for landscape plants can improve the appearance of your home grounds and add substantially to your home’s value. Allen Krizek, County Ex­ tension Director, says even if you’ve never planted so much as a rose bush, you’ll find Ex­ tension’s new publication, “Planting and Care of Or­ namental Landscape Plants” E-1947, simple with step-bystep guidelines. The publica­ tion covers proper care need­ ed to get newly planted or­ namentals off to a good start; general guidelines on why, when and how to prune, along with tips on pruning specific groups of plants. Information on how and when to fertilize landscape plants to meet their nutrient needs and how to sample soil to determine that those needs are met, is also covered. Common plant diseases, in­ sects and environmental pro­ blems are discussed in a sec­ tion on keeping plants healthy. A landscape manage­ ment calendar ties it all together by detailing when certain tasks are appropriate. The publication is available att the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service, 126 N.

When the three neared the centerline, the two relatives stopped but Gusey continued into the southbound lane and was strack and kill­ ed, deputies say. Rice, who estimated he was traveling at about 40 m.p.h, said he applied his brakes and honked the horn but could not avoid striking Gusey because of the other pedestrians and cars parked legally along the west side of the road. He was not injured in the accident and no citation was issued. Gusey was transported to Pennock Hospital by the Nashville Ambulance where she was pronounced dead.

EATON FEDERAL EQUAL HOUSING LENDER �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, June 24, 1986 — Page 4 Nashville Post Office was favorite gathering spot for local news Traditionally, in most small such as Nashville, the local post office has served as a favorite gathering spot ofthe exchange of daily news, bulletins and chit-chat. In the early days the cluster of citizens in the lobby often was attributed to a pending ar­ rival ofthe train carrying mail into town. The custom is still observed to a lesser degree to­ day, even though trains no communities longer bring mail to Nashville. The late Clyde W. Francis, a Nashville boy who went on to become an early publisher of the Lake Odessa Wave, wrote of this ritual in one of his many nostaligic, humorous columns published in The Nashville News in the late 1920s under the heading, “Telling Tales Out of School.” At the time he wrote the ar­ ticles, Francis was involved in newspaper work at Cleveland, Ohio. He grew up in Nashville over a century ago, graduating from high school here in 1888. Following are his observations ofthe post of- fice, as published in The News on July 26, 1928. Although the location of the local post office has changed several times since the days of Francis’ youth, one can sense one thing that has not chang­ ed: _ wherever located, the building has served as heart and center of the community. ///// “The post office building did not appear to be such a busy place as it was when Don M. Dickinson was Postmaster General. Ever stop to think that there are fewer postmasters today than there were then? “And what a time ‘was had’ in picking them? A few were hand-picked, while others fell from the political plum tree. But just the same, we always had good men to deal out our letters and postcards. “The arrival of the mail was our favorite indoor sport. Not a few gathered in the lobby ofthe post office as soon ass the train whistled for Vermontville or Gregg’s Crossing. About the only ones who didn’t show up were those who received nothing but dun- The post office served as sort of a community "lost and found" department in Clyde Francis' day, with the "found" item usually displayed in the lobby. Once, this included someone's false teeth found in front of the post office. A good many years after Francis' day in Nashville the 1899 McDerby block (at extreme left in this circa-1910 photo) housed the Nashville post office. ning letters, and sometimes one ofthese would sneak in to re-establish his credit. People who seldom received mail of any kind were the first to rush the ‘call window.’ Frequently a rural citizen would hold the line until he had asked for all his neighbor’s mail. “The lid was off on all kinds of fake advertising, and this something-for-nothing stuff almost equalled in volume the franked mail of our representatives in con­ gress. Marshall, Mich., was headquarters for all cure-all literature, while at Jackson, the professors of hypnotism taught you by mail to mesmerize your friends or enemies. But it was Augusta, Maine, where you could get anything your heart desired. For twenty-five cents they would send you a steel engraving of George Washington. I thought it would be nice to hang up in our school room and I sent for it - it was a two-cent postage stamp, and cancelled at that. ‘ ‘I used to know who had all the lock-boxes, especially the two rows of double-spaced ones. Very few of them were ever locked, and those that were could be easily opened with any bureau draw key. I don’t know why it was, but it seemed as ifthe tallest patrons had boxes near the ceiling. The dust in the call boxes was blown out with every change of administration the Democrats didn’t get a chance to blow very often. As a Democrat, I predict the boxes will be vacuum-cleaned next year with a Hoover, at least I hope so. I don’t want to see mail boxes being unlocked with corkscrews, or the navy consisting of schooners of beer. ‘‘But "We always had good men to deal out our letters and post cards, recalled Francis. Len W. Feighner, second from left, was Nashville postmaster from 1899 to 1914, at the time when the post office was located in the present-day Dairy Delite building on Main near Sherman. Citizens Telephone Co. occupied the second floor. From left are Almon Murray, one of three original rural mail carriers out of Nashville; Feighner; Roy Bassett; Isa Newton; Coy Brumm; an unidentified lady, and Henry Glasner, who served as postmaster from 1914-22. when John Wanamaker, that prince of advertisers took over the As soon as the train whistled for Vermontville, remembered Clyde W. Francis, Nashville folks fathered in the lobby of the post office. "The arrival of the mail was our favorite indoor sport," recalled Francis. Frequently a rural citizen would monopolize the call window, until he had asked for the mail of all his neighbors in addition to his own. This 1909 scene shows the Michigan Central depot at Vermontville. management of the post office busines, there was a decided change in affairs - people commenced using the post of­ fice for advertising purposes. If anybody lost anything, a notice to that effect was im­ mediately hung up in the post office. If anything was found, it was hung up in the post of­ fice. Of course, if any stray livestock was picked up, it wasn’t led into the building. Still, Ed Decker lost his horse one day and found it hitched outside the post office - right where he had tied it the night before and then forgot all about it. Some front teeth belonging to one of our citizens was missing, and they too were found in front of the post offic - there’s where the fight took place. read: ‘Powers, Ketcham and “It beat all, the variety of Stringham.’ (Note: Powers notice - from cracked eggs at was an attorney who came to five cents a dozen to Nashville from Eaton County huckleberry-picking in 1877 and established a privileges for two cents a practice here.) quart.

Main St. Vermontville, Ml �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, June 24, 1986 — Page 6 Old Vermontville Cemetery by Shelly Sulser An old cemetery where some of Vermontville’s original settlers are buried is being brought to light as workers clear away brush and trees that have hidden it for years. Known to local historians as simply, “The Old Vermontville Cemetery,” the nearly one acre tract is being cleared as part of the village’s 150th birthday celebration. “It’s one ofour biggest sesquicentennial projects,” noted Sharon Stewart of the Ver­ montville Sesquicentennial Committee. Michigan Youth Corps workers are in the process of digging out trees by the roots and clearing overgrown weeds at the cemetery, said Stewart. She also noted that the committee hopes to have the cemetery reseeded and the old headstones reset. According to local historian Esther Shepard, settlers such as Mrs. Lucille Fuller were buried in the West Vermont­ ville Highway cemetery in about 1849. Others include an Indian girl, an elderly man named Will Warner who was among the e first rs to o bee buried ure there, and Will Jacob, one of the first school teachers in Youth Corp worker Jerry Mast of Lake Odessa is helping to clear the old Ver­ montville Cemetery where some of the village's original settlers are buried.

Vermontville Garden Club was seeded in 1956 By Mary Baker Once upon a time Isabelle Zemke invited me to attend with her the Charlotte Flower Show, where everything was in perfect order and beautiful. Coming home we still were thinking about the flowers. Isabelle said “I wish Ver­ montville had a Garden Club,” and I replied, “Yes I do too. Nashville has such a nice one.” “Well,” said Isabelle, ‘‘Why don’t you do something about it?” My answer was “Because I never thought about it.” The first seed planted was a line in the Vermontville Echo asking any woman interested in a Garden Club to make con­ tact with Isabelle or me and to attend the first meeting at 354 E. Main St. We had six to eight members in 1956 and now have 35. We met in the homes at first then outgrew them, then tried to keep the membership down but it didn’t work. Then we held meetings in the Chapel and now in the Griswald Room. Isabelle was elected the first President. Irene Zemke sug­ gested the name and Bethel Boyles was thrilled to have God’s Garden used for the Collect as she had seen it on a plaque in the White -House Rose Garden, placed there by Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower. The group decided to meet once a month at 1:30 p.m. on the first Monday in the month but that was changed to the third Monday. The meeting would consist of first the Collect, God’s Garden, second the roll call, third the old and new business and report of the officers and then the program, which has varied over the years. Some programs have been educa­ tional, informative and in­ structive, many entertaining and many travelers have shared their trips with us both over seas and here at home. The hostesses then usually serve delicious light refreshments. We have one summer pic­ nic, one Christmas Dinner Party and lately have gone to Homer to the summer Grist Mill Theater luncheon. The dues have been and still are $1 a year. It has been 30 years of fun, laughter, joy, work and pleasure. Come and join us. God Bless each of you.

Nashville, Tuesday, June 24, 1986 — Page 8 Nashville farm celebrates it's centennial birthday by Steve Vedder The plaster walls remain basically the same, but other than that, few similarities still survive from 1879. In fact, the chances are that Jonas and Susan Hawblitz wouldn’t even recognize the place now. The original 40-acre plot has blossomed to nearly 400 acres; a kitchen and dining room addition along with a red bam were added to the farm in 1903; and a steel bam was constructed in 1965. But since the farm, located at 5484 Lawrence Road, has been owned by the Hawblitz family for over a century, it is eligible for the Michigan Historical Commission’s Centennial Farms designation. Blair is the great-great grand­ son of the farm’s original owners, Jonas and Susan Hawblitz. Originally from Germany, Jonas and Susan came to Nashville from Ohio in 1879. the 1940s and 50s and was even used as a grainery at one time. The Hawblitzes raise some beef cattle and put up hay, but most of the 400 acres is farm­ ed by other people.

Boise purchased the struc­ ture from the Nashville Co-op Association during its auction last month and plans to use the antique wood to construct a pole building. Built in the 1800s, the building was once of vital im­ portance to the railroad in Nashville that was regarded as the lifeline of the village. In 1881 alone, Nashville shipped by rail a total of 145,476 pounds of maple sugar, more than any other Michigan town. Other items shipped by train were wood, as well as passengers from Nashville to Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa and Arkansas. One primary cargo was mail which was phased out in 1956.

BAKER Vermontville Township Clerk The approximately 100-persbns who toured historic homes and buildings in Vermontville Saturday were treated to a variety of architectual styles, interior set­ tings and some interesting history as well. The event, sponsored by the Vermontville Historical Society in celebration of the village’s sesquicentennial, “went over so well and the weather was so great,” said Kate Houck, publicity chair­ man of the tour. On Monday morning Houck didn’t have the returns back yet with totals of persons who participated in the tour, but she estimated that there were around 100, and noted “that figure might be a little high.” “People seemed to enjoy it pretty much,” said Houck. We had different houses this year and the Opera House caused quite an interest. Among the visitors to the Vistors at the Trumble home showed a lot of interest in this unusual framed hanging of locks of hair. Mary Trumble (shown in the photo) said the locks of hair depict some family history. The locks are from her grandmother Mary Bullings' three sons plus hair strands from her mother, Florence Bulling, and some childhood locks from her own head. A visit to Vermontville's Congregational Church during Saturday's historic home tour brought back many memories for Ethel Barber (left) and Grace Shirkey of Hastings who used to attend services at the church when they previously lived in the area.

For them, the tour of the Ver­ montville Congregational Church was a special one. Both said that had attended the church when they previously lived in the area. “This brings back lots of memories,” said Shirkey. “I used to go to church here. All of my family went here. I started Sunday School here before I went to kindergarten.” For the tour, the Congrega­ tional Church was decorated with a beautiful wedding theme by Dema Wright of Grandma’s Greenery in Nashville. The village Methodist Church also receiv­ ed Wright’s touch for the oc­ casion. She gave the church an old-fashioned Christmas motif, complete with lanterns glowing among evergreen boughs and baby’s breath plus many other decorations. “Dema did such a beautiful job with the churches and musuem,” noted Houck. She also noted that visitors from quite a few towns went on the tour. There was even a girl from India. At the Trumble home, which was included on the tour, visitors included a woman whose relative had built the home and she recall­ ed many fond childhood TOUR continued on page 11 NOTICE TO REDEEM To the owner or owners of any and all interests in, liens upon the land described: TAKE NOTICE: Sale was lawfully made of the following described land for unpaid taxes on that land, and that the undersigned has title to the land under tax deed or deeds issued for the land.

The board agreed to have the noise ordinance drafted by the attorney for the township after a June 4 township meeting when residents of the Thomapple Lake area com­ plained about weekend parties and loud off-the-road vehicles. At that time, the board had included in its motion to ex­ clude farmers from the or­ dinance, but apparently Gee feels that is not possible.

No fireworks display is planned because there is no suitable location or liability insurance to cover such an event now that Sandyland has closed, said Dave Mace, president of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. For the past two years, fireworks have been staged at Sandyland. “Just to be fair, we can’t have it (fireworks) without in good (insurance) coverage,” he said. “If someone (in the audience) were to get hurt, we would have no insurance to help them.” Mace said the chamber has $800 in its fireworks fund which was received from donations at the gate during last year’s event. “We’re not going to use the money for anything else but fireworks,” he said, adding that “hopefully sometime we’ll be able to use it (for a fireworks display).” Last year’s fireworks cost problem by June 10.

At age 18, Perrier was awarded the dcstinction at a ceremony Friday night “I don't think I could have required to be an Eagle Scout. In addition, he also earned another 11 badges along the way. The most difficult badges he earned, Perrier said, were three for nature, community and world citizenship. Perrier also had to spend from 40-60 hours on a com­ munity project to earn the designation.

Richard is the youngest of seven children, and is the son of Elaine Bennett. As a scout, Richard has served his club in various areas, including as a a member of the Leadership Corp and as a Quarter Master, Patrol Leader, Junior Assis­ tant Scout Master, Senior Scout Master and Senior Patrol Leader. Richard said one ofhis most memorable experiences in scouting was when he attend­ ed Boy Scout Camp Gerber, where he had his first ex­ p e r i e n c e with the handicapped. He noted his job there was to serve as a lifeguard and to teach swimming to younger scouts. During one week of the camp, his duty was to teach handicapped people how to swim. “You think they’re dif­ ferent but they’re really not. They’re just the same as you,” he said. “They have the same feelings and they want to be treated the same.” With all he has learned in scouting, Perrier said he is sure it will help him in his newest endeavor with the military. Since graduating from Maple Valley High School this year, Perrier has joined the Marine reserves and will attend basic training Richard Perrier of Nashville has achieved the honor of Eagle Scout, and is shown here with the report he had to complete before being granted the designation. next month. “I know it’s going to help me get a job,” he said. Perrier also noted he plans to stay active in scouting, ser­ ving as a leader and maybe some day having a troop ofhis own. “We’re very proud of Richard, he has a lot to offer the community,” said Boldrey. “He’s worked real hard for it.” Perrier noted, “I’d just like to pass on the skills I’ve learn­ ed through the years,” he said.

Krizek County Extension Director Many people think of farm­ ing as the quiet life, far removed from the hustle of urban living and industrial noise. However, farms have some severe noise hazards which can impair hearing ability. Farmers and farm workers suffer hearing damage all too often. It is important to understand how and when noise causes a problem and fflnrnrnr how to protect yourself against this damage. Deep within the ear are very tiny hair-like protrusions which vibrate back and forth when sound waves pass by. Normally, these hairs bend back and forth millions of times and return to their usual upright position during times of quiet. The function ofthese hair-like structures is to send impulses to the brain where they are interpreted into recognizable sound.

Continued exposure to loud noises can result in deafness. The high pitch sounds are usually lost first. People with impaired hear­ ing often do not realize right away that they have a pro­ blem, because they carry on conversations with apparent ease. But listen carefully. Do you have difficulty hearing the birds sing? Intensity of sound can be measured by a decibel meter. Since most people do not have a meter available, it is simpler to learn the normal intensity of common sounds. Normal speech has a dB (decibel) level of 60. Heavy traffic is a reading of 80. Inside of a acoustically insulated protec­ tive tractor cab you will read about 110 when operated at full throttle. A jackhammer reaches 120. Exposure to in­ tensities above 90 dB for eight hours per day likely will cause hearing damage. So what can you do? The solution is quite simple and in­ expensive. Several materials are available that will reduce the noise level that reaches the inner ear. Acoustical ear muffs that fit snugly work well. Some people object to their bulkiness and weight, but the modem muffs are much improved. Devices that insert into the ear are very lightweight and allow the wearer to carry on a conversa­ tion. Each of these devices should advertise on the package how much they reduce the decibel level of sound. Subtract this value from the level of sound inten­ sity ofthe task you are perfor­ ming. If the result is 85 dB or less, the device will provide adequate protection. Next to your eyesight, the ability to hear may be your most valued possession. Hear­ ing loss can be very subtle; by the time a loss is recognized, it may be too late to prevent damage. Prevention at the start is the best solution. Take time now to assure that later you can hear those important sounds.

Pease Rd., Vermontville U i �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, June 24, 1986 — Page 15 weekly report from - A ERNEST NASH State Representative Pesticide use may be cut under new state plans The use of harmful pesticides may be reduced by 20 percent if the state heeds the warnings of a plan recent­ ly developed by several state agencies and private groups. The newly-released study concludes that bug and weed killers, used frequently on food crops, lawns and in many households and public buildings, are potentially dangerous to humans, animals and the water supply. Resear­ chers believe the wide use of pesticides that contain large numbers ofharmful chemicals create a pollution problem that affects everyone. The report outlines the need for state policies designed to protect the public from pesticides. It also calls for money to develop pesticide policies, to provide stronger laws with increased penalties for those who do not use bug and weed killers properly and to reduce public exposure to pesticides. Approximately 15 of the plan’s 47 recommendations are being implemented by various state agencies. The measures include: --Development of guidelines for pesticide spray­ ing in hospitals, schools and public buildings, and require­ ment of a certified pesticide applicator to supervise their use. --Development of a statewide pesticide poisoning reporting system. —Increase the maximum fine for violations of the state’s pesticide law by 10 times—from $500 to $5,000. —A recommendation that the state spend money to study the extent to which pesticide traces contaminate food. —Establish a panel to review and propose research concerning chemical-sensitive people who may become violently ill in the presence of pesticides that would not af­ fect most individuals. —Expand alternative ap­ proaches to pest control, re­ quiring fewer chemicals, and calling for at least one person trained in the alternative methods to work in each of Michigan’s 83 Cooperative Extension Service County offices. The report contains some important conclusions concer­ ning the health and safety of Michigan citizens. This Legislature should give serious consideration to its recommendations, and should promote public awareness of this problem. Bills Designed to Promote Volunteer Service to Seniors Michigan’s senior citizens may benefit from two bills before the cumulate credits. These credits could be built up and “cashed in” when volunteers themselves need services. A computerized system would be set up to track the credits earned and deducted. Non-profit organizations may designate persons to receive the services for the groups’ accumulated credits. This plan is an inexpensive and innoviative way to supple- ment programs already pro­ viding services to senior citizens in the state. The ob­ vious benefit of making ser­ vices available to senior citizens is the increased chance of them remaining in their homes rather than being institutionalized. The volunteers may also provide relief to family members who regularly care for the senior citizen. In addi­ tion, the program will in­ crease social opportunities for the volunteer and recipient of the service. Missouri is currently enjoy­ ing great success with a similar program, and Florida is also considering such a plan. Michigan Celebrates Its 150th Birthday Over the course of the next year and a half, Michigan citizens will take time out of their day-to-day activities to help celebrate the state’s 150th birthday. Michigan’s Sesquicentennial will be marked by pageantry and festivities designed to live up to the for­ mal theme, “A Celebration of What Was...And Will Be.” The true celebration, however, will come from Michigan citizens taking pride in the state’s rich heritage, natural resources, quality of life and talents of the people who live and work here. More than 3,000 com­ munities in all 83 counties of the state are becoming involv­ ed. In addition, thousands of trade associations and businesses are making their own plans. Hundreds of com­ panies are contracting for the right to use the Sesquicentennial logo and produce com­ memorative and promotional products that will raise funds for Sesquicentennial projects. The $40 million Michigan Heritage Center will be a lasting memorial to the state’s 150th. Located in Lansing, the new center will house a museum, archives and library, which may become a major tourist attraction. In an effort to get Michigan communities involved in the celebration, the Sesquicentennial Commission suggests municipalities: —Seal a time capsule to be tournment or event. —Conduct a community clean up program. The purpose of Michigan’s Sesquicentennial is to celebrate the state’s past and present, create programs and exhibits of lasting benefit, act as a catalyst for new ideas and projects and coordinate regional and local programs. In addition, the Sesquicentennial celebration should attract visitors to the state, encourage Michigan citizens to travel within the state and foster an image of Michigan as a desirable place to live and do business.

By Shelly Sulser Nashville Village Council member Gerald Kent has resigned his trustee seat because of plans he has to move outside the village limits. Kent told the council Thurs­ day his intentions to move outside the village will pre­ vent him from being eligible to serve. “I’ve enjoyed being a part,” he said. “I think we have a good council and I hope it will stay that way.” Kent’s term expires April 1, 1987 and the council will ac­ cept Applications for the post until July 10 when hope to make an appointment. In other business, the coun­ cil agreed to accept bids for the village insurance for fleet, general liability, inland marine, errors and ommis- sions etc. The council will review the bids in September.

Shaw is one oftwo to ap­ ply for appointment to the seat Judge Richard Loughrin is vacating with his retirement. Also vying for appointment is Carol Dwyer of Nashville. President John Hughes, Richard Chaffee, Larry Filter, Carl Tobias and Sue Kieutske voted in favor of the resolution, while Kent and Marsha Ainslie abstained. Ainslie said she abstained from voting because she felt it was “not fair to make a deci­ sion without knowing anything about either candidate.” Community Developmental Block Grant to benefit five surrounding townships by providing funds for low income families who need home refurbishment. Vermontville Township Supervisor Ed Sampson noted members of the township board expressed interest in such a program for their area. “I told them there are several options to obtain fun­ ding,” Storey said. She noted the township could try to secure funding for such a pro­ gram on their own, or they could be assisted by the Lake Odessa Housing Coordinator. “They’re very interested and they sounded open mind­ ed about the whole idea which impressed me,” Storey said. She noted nothing positive could take place for at least a year, when it comes time for interested municipalities to apply for the grant for the following year. “They could still apply for funding for next year but they would have to do an awful lot of work real fast,” she said, because the deadline for ap­ plications for 1987 is July 15, 1986. First, she said, they would have to do two things: decide whether or not they want the funding and then decide how they plan to procure the funds.

Local house gutted by fire in early morning blaze The Castleton-Maple Grove-Nashville Fire Depart­ ment battled an early morning blaze last Wednesay at a 5746 Scott Road home. Fire Chief Doug Yarger said the unoccupied home was fully involved in flames when they arrived at the scene at about 2:12 a.m. Yarger said despite efforts by his department and that of the Hastings Fire Department, the house was declared a total loss. Although Yarger did not know who owned the home, he said neighbors believed it was under the ownership of a Bernie Molder of Middleville. The cause remains under investigation. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, July 1, 1986 — Page 2 Nashville artist active at 92 By SheMy SulseF1 -' A 92-year-old Nashville woman who still enjoys the satisfaction of her artistic talent quips, “jThere is nothing orthodox about me at all.

Ada felt she could put much stock in those words because at that time, Reeter was con­ sidered by many to be an ac­ complished and talented artist. “She was commissioned by President Roosevelt to paint the Four Freedoms for the White House but he died before he could accept the pic­ ture,” explained Ada. Although by now, Ada has painted hundreds of pictures, her hobby at first seemed to be short lived after having painted only four pictures at the outset. “I had to put it aside until I raised my family,” she noted. Ada and her husband, Joseph Mearle,' moved from Illinois to Nashville in 1926 in an at­ tempt to escape a flu epidemic that she guessed killed nearly 21 million people worldwide. “We came to have a chicken farm but he (Joseph) ended up with horses and cows too,” she said about the days when her painting ability lay dormant. Joseph later worked for Stlnd Stlndard Oil Company for sev®y sev®years and for the once thrixing railroad operation in NasWnl e. In ad­ dition, Joseph served as Castleton Township Super­ visor for 26 years before pass­ ing away in 1972. The two have three children, Mearle Jr., Philip, and Elaine. Ada also has nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. One grandchild, Beverly Reiner resides in New York, and has captured the limelight in her successful modeling career. “I’m rich in family but I’m not rich in folded money,” Ada commented. During the 1940’s, Ada finally took up her favorite passtime again after nearly 20 years of its absence. “I was cleaning the house one day and I came across my How can you get help fast when your car is smashed?

Ada found that she could still paint as well as she did when she was younger. “Lydia said you never forget painting and that’s true.” Ada was then asked by two other ladies in town to join an art group which became known as the NAGS (Nashville Art Group).

The group grew to include several other local artists, including Helen Strong from Hastings. Some ofAda’s work includ­ ed landscapes and other oil portraits. “I even put a roadrunner in one picture,” she noted, “and I can do deer real good too.” Although she ha's sold a large number of her paintings, she has also given as many away as gifts to family and friends. “It comes in so handy for birthdays and house warming gifts so you give a lot of them away,” she explained. She has even taught her children and brother how to paint, and has been asked by others to teach. But Ada admits she is a bit shy about her hobby, noting she finds she cannot paint when others are watching her. “I’m no teacher or anything,” Ada said of the hobby she finds relaxing. “The way you learn is to do so I just let them (students) 92-year-old Ada Scott of Nashville is shown with her very first oil painting, done in 1912. — CLOSED — Fri., July 4 to Sun. 13 Powers Service do.” 178 S.

She is shown here demonstrating her talent at the flower shop. the paint. But for Ada, she feels this effect spoils the fun. “That way, I’d arrive at my destinatioh sooner.’’ She noted that when she just begins painting on an empty canvas, it is easier for her to change her mind, wipe offthe paint and begin again. “There is nothing orthodox about me,” she said. Although Ada has not painted a new picture for nearly a year because of back trouble, she does hope to get at it again soon. During the month of June this year, Ada’s work was featured at Grandma’s Greenery in Nashville as Ar­ tist of the Month. Although she is 92, Ada feels she could live a number of more years, noting, “I think you pick your ancestors,” adding that some members of her family have lived to be 115, 101, 80, 94, 88 and 86.

The following ex­ cerpts have been gleaned from the Nashville Ancient History column published in The Nashville News from near the turn of the century into the 1930s; from the Turning Back the Pages feature of the 1940-60s; and from various early issues of The News.) ///////// 1874.. . E.R, White has rented Truman’s new brick to hold his bowery dance in on the Fourth. 1876.. .Centennial Fourth of July arches are being erected across Main Street. The spans will be decorated with evergreens and emblems of our country... The ladies of the Christian Church have engaged the use of Wolcott’s agricultural sheds for the Fourth and will there serve meals throughout the day. 1878.. . T.P. Raymond has other in Judge Killen’s court on Wednesday. Penfold brought suit to recover three dollars which he claimed Barnes owed him for labor, but the evidence was not con­ clusive enough to convince all of the jury and it disagreed. The case was then adjourned until Monday next. 1884.. .The wool market has been exceedingly lively this week, our street being thronged with loads of wool everyday... Hardy & Ainsworth alone have pur­ chased 70,000 lbs. of wool so far this season. 1886.. .L. M. Olf, living south of the schoolhouse, has put down a sidewalk which is deserving of special mention. It is of oak and is planed and put down as neatly as a floor. Too little such conscientious work is done. 1888.. .The premilinary ar­ rangements for the grand matinee at the driving park on the Fouth are about com- started making regular fore­ noon and afternoon trips through town with his ice cream wagon. Anyone wishing a good dish of ice cream can get it by going to the gate when they hear the bell ring. 1880.. .

Total cost was 95 cents. 1881.. .5.ith & Clark are having a large and com­ modious bowery built at Thor­ napple Lake, where they will have a dance on the 4th of Ju­ ly.

The factory employed as many as 100 men during peak times of its nearly 90-year life in Nashville. No Fourth of July "doings" were set for Nashville or nearby towns in 1924, so most local folks planned to spend the holiday at Thornapple Lake. Cole & Wade's resort was a popular Independence Day gathering spot as early as 1881, when the Nashville Quadrille band supplied music for a bowery dance there. The Lake House hotel was easily reached by several generations of Nashville residents traveling via Michigan Central Railroad. This lakeside photo was taken sometime after Tex Reid bought the property in August 1938. The Thornapple River became the source of supply for the village waterworks in late June 1899 because of an insufficient supply of well water. Pumping equip­ ment was located in the 1891 waterworks building (seen left of center with smokestack) and was held in the 1892 stdndpipe water tower (in background at left). This about-1906 scene looks northward on Main Street toward the iron bridge built across the Thornapple River in 1899. pleted, and weather permit­ ting, a grand time is assured.

Reports say the crew will commence digging at Hart Lake, to save the need of dig­ ging out a basin to set their floating dredge in. This will let water overflow the land from a string ofmud lakes and swamps on the east side of Sunfield Township. The fanners of Woodland and Castleton township had better investigate this and see what can be done to prevent it before it is too late. 1901.. .Coal mining is becoming an important in­ dustry in Michigan. There now are 35 mines operating in the state, including five in Eaton County. 1903.. .This village and Lake Odessa were without lights Monday night caused by a pair ofboys throwing a wire over the line east of Hastings, forming a short circuit. The boys were placed under ar­ rest.

A petition signed by 59 people ofthe village asking that Reed Street be opened up from its eastern terminus to the county line, was presented and was referred to the proper commit­ tee for action. 1911.. .The man who gets mad at what the newspaper says about him should return thanks three times a day for what the newspaper knew about him and suppressed. 1923.. .1. begins to look as if Michigan is to have a gasoline tax. Already 17 states have adopted such a tax, the revenue going toward cost of keeping up the roads. It is ex­ pected the matter will come up for discussion at the next session of the legislature. 1924.. .No July 4th celebra­ tions in nearby towns this year, so most Nashville peo­ ple are planning on spending the holiday at Thomapple Lake. 1926.. .Herman A. Maurer, Nashville merchant, is scheduled to leave Thursday on a trip to Germany where he will wed Miss Katharine Ehrman, a young lady with whom he became acquainted while in Europe two years ago. 1928.. .Jay-walking on Main Street on Wednesday and Saturday nights when the street is thronged with cars is bad practice, dangerous both to the pedestrain and to auto­ drivers. And it is indulged in to too great an extent in Nashville. 1929.. .The new water foun­ tain is installed, the water is running and everybody drinks. Considerable con­ troversy has arisen over whose dog may drink from the dog fountain below. It’s about the right height for Teddy Smith and Brownie Hess but if Laddie Zemer is to drink there someone wil have to install a step - or else the doggone dog wifi have to grow some more. 1930.. .The Lentz Table Co. is operating only four days a week at present, but still is do­ ing far better than average in this year 1930. 1931.. .Almost the entire United States is sizzling in what is said to be the hottest summer in more than half a century. Locally temperatures have exceeded 100 degrees almost daily, although last Friday’s storm cooled things briefly. 1932.. .East Reed Street people had a neighborhood picnic Firday night, and 33 took their supper and went to Thomapple Lake, where it was shady and cool, and ate and visited together, and the children played in the water, and all had a fine time. 1936.. .A siren has been in­ stalled for a 60-day trial on the roof of the fire hall. It will take the place of the whistle which was operated by the abandoned steam pumping plant. It was tested with a tem­ porary hookup the other day, and all of Nashville heard it. 1939.. .0.e hundred and forty-five members of the Sunday schools of Nashville and Barryville enjoyed the first annual Community Sun­ day School Picnic held Friday at Reid’s Resort, Thomapple Lake. Following the very bountiful dinner, games were played and contests held, under the direction of Rev. W. C. Bassett... The coolness of the day, following an earlier rain, brought the coun­ try people who could not make hay, and also added to the pleasantness of the day. 1948.. .The man who opearted the hamburg stand at the Happy Holiday carnival here last week is one carnival employee for- whom local VFW officials have a friendly feeling. Saturday night he found a box containing the veterans’ cash receipts and turned it over to them intact, refusing even to accept a reward... Due to unfavorable weather much ofthe week, at­ tendance (at the carnival) was light but the veterans realized a nice profit to be added to their building fund. 1949.. .First week of the youth recreation program was climaxed by a Parade on Wheels Friday afternoon... Prize for the prettiest thing on wheels went to Neal “Buzzy” Miller, who entered a twowheel bicycle with novel decorations. Prize for the fun­ niest entry went to Winona Schulze, who pushed James Carpenter in a baby buggy. Prize for the best decorated vehicle was awarded Byron Place, who rode a three-wheel bike.

By star­ ting with the family unit and helping its members build strength and skills, College Week does its part in helping to build a stronger Michigan and a stronger nation. Muriel Bach, the keynote speaker, is an actress and writer. She orchestrated an unusual presentation entitled “Madam, Your Influence Is Showing”. With the magic of her talents, she became six different mothers of people who had an influence on our world. She portrayed the mother of the Wright Brothers, John Wilkes Booth, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Edison, Mohandas Gandhi and Arthur Compton. Gwen Frostic provided a light, witty inspirational pro­ gram as she kept the audience spellbound with her message. Gwen’s message was one of being sensitive to the things around you whether watching a chickadee, sitting under a tree or gazing at a star-filled night. She said “set a goal, reach for the highest star possible and when you get that E.B.I. Breakthru plans community pancake breakfast July 5 The E.B.I.

Sue Miller, high school principal and public speaker chose to entertain and inspire the audience with her notions on “the positive vision.” “If you want to do it bad enough, you can! For each of us are miracles, each uniquely different and precious in our own right.” Besides the evening speakers, each College Week participants is able to take three different college courses.

"I think the kids did a super job,” noted coach Russ Cemey. Made up of Vermontville seven, eight and nine-yearolds, the team played three games before being named the champions. Parent Janice Bailey noted the Woodland teams had always been stronger in the tournament until Saturday’s match up. “We’re all pretty proud of our boys,” said Bailey, the mother Dan Bailey who batted in the winning run. Members of the team in­ clude: Matt Reid, Dan Bailey, Chuck Brand, T.J. Burton, Josh Cemey, Jason Cook, Jeremy Duffy, Brian Hopkins, Wayne Moore, Greg Shook, Jason Shook, Greg Halliwill and Chris Carpenter. In the first game, the Vermontville boys humiliated the Sunfield team 25-0. The boys played a second game against Woodland, winning 7-5 and edged past the second Woodland team 8-7 to take the top spot. Because oftheir outstanding efforts, each player received a blue ribbon, and a pool party from their coach. Cemey credited the faithful parents for keeping team morale up all during the season, as well as assistant coach Mark Shook for his dedication. Cemey’s wife, Rose, also thanked Janice Bailey for her willingness to help when there were player injuries. “We had some parents who did so much to promote team unity,” Mrs. Cemey said, in­ cluding Denise Burton, whose son, T.J., plays on the team although he has half a foot. “He makes a terrific cat­ cher,” Cemey said. “It’s been quite a team effort.” Local resident on dean’s list at Western Michigan Karen M.

IVICUI I, IN IV111t? w OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK - 8:30 AM to 11 PM �The Maple Valley News, Nas.nville, Tuesday, July 1, 1986 — Page 8 Nashville woodworker one of 165 at Lake Odessa 'Art in the Park' by Shelly Sulser Ardith Jordan of Nashville admits that woodworking has become a sort of a “passion” with her since she began the hobby two years ago. “I took a course in wood­ working and it really has become a passion,” said the Lansing native. Jordan, along with fellow craft hobbyist Claire Huffman of Vermontville, are just two of the nearly 165 artists — the most ever in recent years — who will exhibit their wares at Lake Odessa’s annual Art in the Park this Saturday. The art show is sponsored by the Lake Odessa Arts Commission and is held each summer in the village park located at the corner of M-50 and Fourth Avenue. Aside Ardith Jordan puts some finishing touches on*one of her favorite original creations she will have for sale at Lake Odessa's Art in the Park. from the many talented artists, the show is also a fine source of good food and great music throughout the day. One special feature of the show this year for the children will be the second annual “Teddy Bear Fair” where the youngsters can participate in various activities with their favorite stuffed bear. But for Ardith Jordan, the festival is one of several she plans to attend during the summer to display and sell her many wood items, including picture frames, lawn or­ naments, towel racks, and various other original peices. Some of her favorite items to make include country farm scenes, depicting Amish peo­ ple and various animals, as well as tote boxes, welcome signs and teddy bears. Although she notes she has picked up ideas from other crafts people, she does not copy them exactly, but incor­ porates their ideas with her own. “I try to create things that are original,” she said. “I think that’s the secret — I don’t like to see copies everywhere but I like to see different things.” Whh the help of her daughter, Cheryl Kirby, the two have become a team in producing well crafted home decorations. After having studied under Joan Swanson of Nashville and Marie McKeon of Ledge Craft Lanes in Grand Ledge, Cheryl has given, herself the role as painter ofher mother’s wood items. “I’ve always liked to paint and she (Ardith) needed a painter and I was available...” Kirby said. How can you be rewarded for good driving after 55? No problem. Auto-Owners gives you a Good Driver Discount if you’re age 55 or over. So instead of reducing coverage or raising auto insurance premiums when you mature—Auto-Owners rewards you with a discount! Just ask your “no problem” Auto-Owners agent to tell you how a good driver discount can be no problem for you! Ardith Jordan, left, and Cheryl Kirby confer on a finished picure. Cheryl added that she started out painting cut-outs of birds and yard ornaments us­ ing enamel paint and acrylic. “Now, I’m expanded into oils,” she explained. After Cheryl has painted in oils a wildlife scene or some other type of country picture in reverse on glass, her mother takes over and makes a frame to fit using pine wood. Having sold a number of their projects at art shows at Bowens Mill in Barry County, the Hastings Summerfest, Frontier Days in Charlotte and Art in the Park, the two have managed to keep up the inventory for their traveling art and craft display. “It has taken a while to get accepted into the good shows,” Ardith noted. But with all the practice in having made hundreds of items, her craft is close to perfection. With Ardith’s husband, Ahmo, preparing to open a furniture making business at their South Clark Road home within the next five years, Ardith has a wide variety of wood cutting machinery at her disposal. Noting why she began woodworking in the first place, Ardith said, “I couldn’t stand to see those machines doing nothing so I took the course in woodworking.” She added, “I just love wood, it’s so pretty when it’s cut and sanded. I enjoy it so much that I’m afraid I let my house work slide,” she admitted. But she said Ahmo doesn’t mind and even helps her out now and then. “He teaches me on the machines I don’t know how to run,” said Ardith. Adds her daughter; “Dad’s always been the artist in the family...it’s kind of a creative family.” Cheryl’s sister, Dawn Goodman is also a good artist her own right, she said, and brother Ralph enjoys helping mom and sister out now and then as well. Not only does Ardith make picture frames, door stops, small furniture and racks, but she also enjoys painting signs for area businesses. The most recent was for Neil’s Restaurant in Vermontville. Cheryl also notes her mother makes “beautiful shutters and farm signs” in­ FESTIVAL, cont. next page- Happy Sweet 16th Birthday... KRIS Love ...

Pleasant for the 1986 Michigan Special Olympics State Summer Games, June 5 through June 7. Twenty-one athletes from Eaton County traveled to Mt. Pleasant following local train­ ing and competition. Two of these athletes were from Ver­ montville. Billy Mater com­ peted in bowling, which was his only event, winning a silver medal for his efforts. Tobi Mazzoni won gold medals in each of her three events the 50 yard dash, 100 yard dash and the softball throw.

Because Ardith delights in spending hours in the wood shop, she has plans in her future to expand her skills for restoring old furniture. “This will probably be how I spend my retirement,” she acknowledged. Displaying a large number of crafted items along with Ardith for the the first time will be Vermontville’s Claire "'g"”T w Huffman. Huffman began her creative adventure in crafs as a child when her father taught her how to crochet. She not only crochets beautiful and unique tables cloths to sell as well as a number of other items, but now makes cloth clocks, made with hoop and lace. In all, Huffman noted she will have about 35 different patterns for festival goers to choose from. “It keeps me busy, it keeps life intersting and I meet a lot of people,” she said. With all the work the two women have put into their business, neither seem to tire of it and indeed both appear to want to continue to expand their abilities. “It certainly is a satisfying hobby,” points out Ardith. “And it’s also one I can make money at!” ' Glenna MacDonald. Between competitive events, athletes took advan­ tage of training clinics, sports exhibitions and recreational activities. Opening and clos­ ing ceremonies provided ex­ citement and entertainment. John Schneider, of Dukes of Hazzards and his band per- formed at Tobi Mazzoni and Billy Mater from Maplewood School represented Maple Valley at the Michigan Special Olympics State Summer Games, (photo supplied) opening ceremonies, to everyone’s delight.

Nashville, Tuesday, July 1, 1986 — Page 12 Billions available for home improvement grants, loans maintenance, the residents lose their desire to keep up the neighborhood. Streets become receptacles for trash, schools lower their standards and very quickly the selling price of homes in the area drops sharp­ ly. This accelerates the cycle of degeneration. In order to keep and main­ tain the nation’s housing and neighborhoods, government at all levels have programs to give homeowners money (that does not have to be repaid) for repairs or to lend them money at below market levels or at no interest. In many areas utility companies will either do of energy conservation work free Most homeowners are unaware that regardless of their income there are federal, state and local programs that will help them repair and remodel their homes. Government at all levels recognizes that neighborhoods are the basis of life in our country. When a neighborhood deteriorates, many things happen both physically and socially. When the homes look shabby, a neighborhood seems more at­ tractive to crime and criminals. An area in decline in like a spreaking cancer. As homes become shabby look­ ing and in need zling New — > SUMMER STYLES or at low cost and in other places will lend homeowners money at no interest to pay the contractor of their choice for the necessary work. In addi­ tion there are tax incentives to promote efficient energy use. These programs are not restricted to low-income peo­ ple, slum areas or urban neighborhoods. Owners of single or multi-family dwell­ ings are eligible. Most of the loans offer long terms and low payments. Some programs have no in­ come ceiling and others allot income of as much as $50,000 per year. There are even pro­ grams for which tenants are eligible and may allow loans to poor credit risks. In many areas, people with disabilities can receive grants to pay for needed repairs such as access ramps and widening of doorways. Some of the other home im­ provements covered under these programs are: attic and wall insulation; new win­ dows; outerwall siding; security doors and locks; win­ dow guards; sidewalks and masonry work; bathrooms and kitchens; electrical and plumbing; new roofs, gutters or downspouts. Consumer Education Research Center, a national non-profit consumer group, has compiled a book listing loan and grant programs of­ fered by all levels of govern­ ment as well as utility com­ panies and others. The book Consumers Guide To Govern­ ment Home Repair Grants and Loans is available for $9 from CERC Grants, 134 Evergreen Pl, East Orange, N.J. 07018. Since it is important that the work be done properly, the book includes a section describing the rough cost of the cost of many jobs as well as advice on picking a con­ tractor and even negotiating a contract.

To determine what your maximum heart rate is, use the following chart. When you find your target zone, you’ll want to take your pulse immediately after you’ve finished exercising. Simply take your pulse to 10 seconds and multiply it by six. If your pulse is in the target zone, the exercise is giving your heart and lungs a good work-out. If your rate is a lit­ tle below the target zone, try exercising a little harder next time. And, if the rate’s a little above the target zone, don’t Pole Buildings s2195°° 8 ft.

Wolpe calls for commission on insurance liability In response to the concerns of Third District businessmen, non-profit organizations, and profes­ sionals, Rep. Howard Wolpe (D-Third District) announced that he is co-sponsoring legislation to create a National Commission on the Liability Crisis. The commission’s pur­ pose would be to recommend ways of alleviating the in­ surance liability crisis. “There’s something wrong when a responsible businessperson is driven out of business -- or a non-profit organization must end its ser­ vices — just because insurance isn’t available,” Wolpe said. “Liability judgments are primarily a state matter, but the problem is serious enough that the federal government should give careful thought to nationwide liability reform.” The legislation that Wolpe is co-sponsoring (H.R. 4655) would create a 15-member commission appointed jointly by the President, the Speaker of the House, and the Senate Majority Leader. It would in­ clude representatives of con­ sumer groups, insurance com­ panies, insurance buyers, lawyers, and legal scholars knowledgable on the subject. The commission would be re­ quired to report its recommen­ dations within six months after its formation. “The need for action is growing quickly,’,’ Wolpe observed. “But there’s a danger that legislators will succumb to the pressures to offer piecemeal, ineffective solutions. This commission can help avert that danger by providing a sound basis for reform.” 945-9554 for ACTION Want-Ads Call 9 to 5:30 Daily part take place at the Extension of­ fice, 126 N.

Demolition Derby, Saturday On July 26 the tires will be spinning and the metal crun­ ching as cars will be in­ discriminately mangled, but those driving the vehicles won’t have to worry about in­ surance or a lack of it. The reason will be easy to understand if one attends the Eaton County 4-H Fair on Saturday, July 26 for the U.S.A. Demolition Derby at the Eaton County Fairgrounds in Charlotte. The action will begin at 7 p.m. in front of the grandstand. The demolition derby is ex­ pected to draw over 50 cars, most from the surrounding area. The U.S.A. Demolition Derby Association is sponoring the affair and anyone with a used junker, willing to do what would otherwise be very costly is invited to enter. The entry fee is $15 which entitles a driver to compete for cash and prizes. Only one car can be used during the event which will feature preliminary heats and a final feature heat. Although to most these cars look like junkers they also have some mechanical modification that cost time and money. Wheel wells are cut away so tires are not easily trapped by caved-in fenders. Then they remove all glass, trim and moulding, and install a small armored gas tank. The stock gas tank is removed for safety. Holes are cut in hoods for cooling and to Eaton County 4-H and FFA swine project members are encouraged to attend the an­ nual swine fitting, showing and judging clinic on Wednes­ day, July 2. The program will begin at 7 p.m. and will be held at the VFW. Farm, 3800 S. Waverly, Eaton Rapids. During the clinic members will learn how to prepare and show hogs, as well as what to look for in hogs. A class of hogs will also be judged. For more information con­ tact the Eaton County Serivce at 372-5594. Extension 543-2310 But the cars don’t get off so easily. Some have lasted through a half dozen derbies before giving up the ghost. Most however finish as mangled heaps in the dirt and dust. But they have nobly cheered and sometimes booed by wildly enthusiastic spectators. Back to the junk yard. General admission to the Derby is $4 or $6 for reserved seating. More information can be obtained by calling the Eaton County 4-H Fair Office at 517-543-4510.

Membership requirements for Tiger and Cub Scouts will be primarily based on grade in school, rather than age, and the plan of action will be expanded to include first-grade boys.

The Scouts were challenged on Saturday, June 21 by three of their adult leaders that they (the leaders) could be drop­ ped, individually, one mile from the United Methodist Church and reach the church without being caught by any participanting scout. The one main rule was that none ofthe leaders could use a motorized vehicle to reach their destination, they must remain “on foot.” Amazingly, the Scouts spread themselves throughout the village of Nashville look­ ing for their leaders. Two of the adults walked right past scouts to reach their destina­ tion, the church. Dennis Priddy and Ray Burd had cleverly disguised themselves so that not even adult friends or their own sons recognized them. Dale Ossenheimer was not so fortunate. He eluded grade (or age 7); and Cub Scouts (Wolf), second grade (or age 8-10). Age requirements for area of Scouting to the next as a group.

July 8, 1986 'Old Timers Weekend' celebrates Vermontville Sesquicentennial by Shelly Sulser A huge variety of activities are in store for Vermontville residents and visitors this Saturday and Sunday when the village celebrates its sesquicentennial with an ‘Old Timers Weekend’. “We hope we can use this opportunity to promote the community and develop a spirit of pride among the citizens,” noted Sesquicentennial Committee Chairperson Mildred Peabody. The July 12 & 13 celebra­ tion is the third of four events planned to commemorate the 1836 founding of the village of Vermontville. Kicking off the activities Saturday will be the 10 a.m. official opening of the weekend, followed by the opening of the juried arts and crafts show at the Methodist Church, sponsored by the Vermontville Women’s Club. Also starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday will be a craft show and bake sale in the village park, along with a pie baking contest with prizes awarded for the best. The Vermontville Garden Club will sponsor a flower show and contest in the Con­ gregational Church, and the Girl Scouts will sell message balloons. Those who purchase the balloons will gather in the park on Sunday when the balloons will be filled with helium and launched at one time. Businesses in town also may participate in a window display contest. The windows will be on exhibit beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Children’s games on the museum lawn will run Satur­ day from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., sponsored by the Vermont­ ville Boy Scouts. The fun will include an assortment of old time games such as an egg toss, three legged race and sack race. At 1 p.m., there will be a children’s pet parade around the park, followed by an “on wheels” parade. Children participating in the on wheels parade can use anything decorated on wheels, noted committee member Sharon Stewart, including roller skates, skate boards,, bicycles etc. No motorized wheels will be allowed. Also beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday will be a children’s bonnet making contest. Girls can make bonnets for themselves, while boys can make them for their mothers. Supplies will be furnished by the Sesquicentennial Committee. ..At 3 p.m. will be an old fashioned ice cream social in the park sponsored by the Girl Scouts, along with submarine sandwich sales at the Methodist Church sponsored by the Methodist Youth. Sunday morning, July 13, the area churches plan to observe the sesquicentennial in their services and at 1 p.m., activities begin again with a potluck and pig roast in the park, with the pig donated by Duane Davidson. Those wishing to attend are asked to take a dish to pass, Stewart said. The Boy Scouts will sell pop at that same time. At 2 p.m., teams from the Vermontville Fire Departe­ ment will battle for honors when they meet for a water ball fight next to the park. Ac­ cording to a department spokesperson, members ofthe public who wish to try their hand in the contest may also be included-. Later, The Thornapple Valley Dulcimer’s Society will fill the air with their bluegrass music as bonnets worn by women and children are judged. Also in conjunction with the Vermontville Sesquicentennial, the Vermontville Lions Club is sponsoring a Beard and Mustache contest. Trophies will be awarded in three different categories, in­ cluding: most original beard; longest beard; and longest mustache. (See separate story for details). Those wishing to enter may register the day of the judging Sunday, July 13, between the noon and 2:30 p.m. The cost is $3 for each category entered. Judging will be at 3 p.m. in the village park. Members of the Lions Club note that fines or time in the “Clean Shaven Jail” will be imposed on those who attend the a sesquicentennial ac­ tivities without a beard or mustache. Exempt badges will be sold for those not wishing to grow a beard or mustache. The last event scheduled to celebrate the sesquicentennial will be October 4 when there will be a hay ride, old time plays and a hot dog roast.

Not willing to reveal his age, he jokingly quipped, “I’m 65 plus! “When I was a little boy, I always had a quilt with all dif­ ferent sized patterns, colors and everything,” Forest recalled. “So I thought to .myself I would like to have one made.” Each participant at the Barry County Commission on Aging nutrition site in Nashville decided to fulfill Forest’s wish for quilt, with each person making 12x12 squares with their names em­ broidered on them. “Everybody contributed to it,” Forest explained. “The ones who couldn’t, my wife made the squares for them.” Forest, who is known in Vermontville as “The Bug Man of Varmintville” because ofhis extensive insect collection, calls the gift from his friends, his “Friendship Quilt”.

IIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII From our readers Dear Editor: I am writing this letter to the coaches and parents of all Lit­ tle League players. I have been involved with Little League for three years. I have watched as coaches and parents ranted, raved, screamed, and in some cases became physical at the kids. I have seen these kids put down. I have even seen so much pressure put on one single game that if a child makes one little mistakes he or she is reduced to tears — for a game that is supposed to be fun. Well, I decided that I was never going to yell or get mad. But on June-25 I broke my own rule. I gbt mad and I yelled. When I.got home I was so ashamed of myself. I think it is time that we as coaches and parents stopped to think about the kind of ex­ amples we are setting for our kids. We are supposed to be teaching these kids good Maple Valey Athletic Boosters BINGO MAPLE VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL — CAFETERIA — THURSDAYS... 6:30 P.M.

The picture was a circa-1915 scene of what was believed to be Roy Wolfs jitney behind a cluster of unidentified people. Wolf, who lost his right arm working on the Pere Marquest Railroad at age 22, was the topic of a Memories article published back in 1981. The photo surfaced more recently. After the accident, Wolf quit railroading. A year or two later he was converted and did outstanding Christian ////// mission work in northern Adolph Douse, Jr. of Michigan. He came from a Nashville, one of our most strong religious background; faithful sources of local his maternal grandparents were Eli and Rachel Lapham, Quakers who in 1837 were original settlers of Maple There are Greens and then there are Greenes in this circa-1915 Nashville photo, according to Adolph Douse, Jr., who recognized many of the individuals standing in front of Roy Wolf's jitney bus. The Greens are children of Fay D. Green (also in photo) while John S. Greene, an early local tailor, was father of the Greenes, in the picture. From left are Clara Hanneman, from whose estate the photo came; Dorothy Green holding small unidentified child; Edgar Hanneman, a local dry goods merchant; Etta Baker; unidentified woman in hat; Ora Hinckley, standing behind small child in front; unknown person with face partially obscured; Win Green, young lad in white shirt who later founded the Hastings Reminder; Robert Greene (in hat) standing behind his younger brother Leason; Fay D. Green, in cap, and possibly "Deb" Green, Fay's father, at right. (This later information comes from Nelson Brumm, who said he never saw "Deb" without a suit jacket on.) Leaning from the jitney window at left is Roy Wolf, whose jitney service from Nashville was said to be the first auto-bus line in the USA. Could the man in the other window be his partner Wesley Wurst? This unidentified early local photo depicts the era when poet L. Adda Nichols was engaged in Nashville mercantile business, dealing in "fancy goods."

VERMONTVILLE SESQUICENTENNIAL COMMITTEE Grove Township. Wolf is credited with establishing the first automobile bus line in the USA in the form of a Model-T jitney that made regular runs from Nashville to Battle Creek, via Vermontville and Bellevue. He later extended the service to Union City and Coldwater. He made two round trips daily, forenoon and afternoon, and despite his handicap is remembered here as “a very good driver.” Wolfs jitney service was based in Nashville for about five years, commencing in 1913. He relocated in 1918 at Coldwater and moved his family here. He and his wife, the former Hazel Atkins of Assyria, had two daughters: Winnifred and Jane. Sometime before his move, Wolfe took into the business as a partner a young man nam­ ed Wesley Wurst, who grew up in the Castleton district north of Nashville. He also relocated in Coldwater. According to published ac­ counts, Wolfs Inter-State bus line was well established in Coldwater when he sold it in 1928. Perhaps it is fitting to remember Wolf at this time of year, for his super patriotism is one ofhis traits most widely remembered by Nashville folks who recall the miniature Nelson Brumm offered a correction and an addition to our identification of this Nashville post office staff photo published recently in Memories. From left are Almon Murray, one of the first rural mail carriers out of Nashville; clerk Randall Wade (whom our earlier sources had erroneously named as Postmaster Len Feighner); carriers Roy Bassett, Isa Newton, and Coy Brumm; Bessie Bassett, who served as clerk and substitute carrier; and Postmaster Henry Glasner. Nelson, son of Coy Brumm, believes the photo in front of the old post office on Main near Sherman was taken about 1917. Glasner was postmaster from 1914-22. American flags that tradi­ tionally decorated the front of his jitney. In fact, during World War I, according to a 1917 Battle Creek Evening News piece: “So strongly does Roy Wolf, driver of a jitney bus service from Nashville to Coldwater, thru Battle Creek, feel about the war that he refuses to let any passenger ride who voices any criticism of America. Such fares are requested to get out and walk the remainder of the way to their destination.” Wolfe, who went into truck farming after selling his bus line, operated a gasoline fill­ ing station at Kinderhook in Branch County the last two years of his life. He died March 27, 1938, at age 58. /////// Interestingly, among the youngsters seen in the jitney photo, Adolph Douse spotted the late Win Green, a local youth who later founded the Hastings Reminder, “parent paper” since 1975 of the Maple Valley News. Win was lost in the service ofhis coun­ try in World War II. He was the son of Fay D. Green (also seen in the photo), a local native remembered by many present-day residents. Douse tells us that at one time Fay ran a dray line in Nashville, and earlier he owned and operated a laundry on South Main Street not far from the former property of Dr. E.T. Morris, whose office is now the home of Wolever Real Estate. Fay’s father was Delos A. (“Deb”) Green, a Nashville grocer and pioneer resident of the village. Bom in New York state in 1845, he was the son of Daniel and Esther Green. In 1863 he moved with his parents to Titusville, Ohio, where his father purchased the Red Bird Tavern & Inn.

With the coming of the railroads “Deb” became in­ terested in the locomotive and left the oil field for a job as a fireman on the old Nickle Plate line. In those days much ap­ prehension was felt about the safety of the' “Iron Horse,” and upon arriving home from his first week ofwork “Deb” found that his father had sold the tavern and had two covered wagons loaded with the family possessions. According to a 1941 piece in The Nashville News, the father informed “Deb” that he was taking him to Michigan “where he could not hear the sound of a locomotive whistle.” The Green family made the long journey to a strange country -in 1868, coming to Nashville from Conneaut, Ohio, by horse and covered wagon. On first arriving here, “Deb” spent several years working as a teamster at the A.W. Olds sawmill. He helped clean considerable land clerked in the post office.

Nash hails defeat of bill to legalize “Stun Guns” State Representative Ernest Nash (R-Dimondale) today hailed action by the House when it defeated a measure that would have made ‘stun guns’ legal in Michigan. “I am very pleased that the House on a 20-71 vote re­ jected a bill (HB 5563) that would have given criminals another weapon to use in hold­ ups and rapes of our citizens,” Nash said. “This bill was only in­ troduced to help the company that manufactures these stun guns to open up Michigan as a rich market to peddle their weapons that could get into the hands ofchildren or be us­ ed against women,” Nash added. “We already have too many weapons that are legal and we do not want to add to that ter­ rible total,” he said. 1 “Senior citizens or women joggers in a park could be touched for only a second or two and be immobilized for up to ten minutes with one of these weapons,” Nash pointed out. Nash noted that these elec­ tronic stun guns were going to be marketed in department stores throughout the state and they would have been pro­ moted as a way for women to protect themselves. “I am confident that by keeping these stun guns out of stores we have saved untold hundreds of potential victims from having to suffer at the hands of these weapons,” Nash concluded. The Al B. Kelly-Miller Three Ring Circus will feature beautifully costumed people and beasts of the jungles when it arrives in Lake Odessa July 22.

In recent remarks to pay tribute to Vermontville in the Congressional Record, Wolpe called the village “a special town. “It’s people are warm, good-natured, industrious people,, and Vermontville itself has a charm all its own,” he commented in of­ ficial remarks for the Record. “I’ve had the privilege of representing Vermontville in Congress for several years now,” said Wolpe. “I have many friends there, and it’s always a pleasure going back.” Noting that Vermontville has been going strong for 150-years, he told his col­ leagues, “There is much in the town’s history to be proud of. But this is also a time to celebrate its present and future — the residents who work hard, raise their families, help their neighbors, and contribute to the community. “I wish the townspeople, and their children and grandchildren, another 150 years of happiness and prosperity,” said Wolpe. He also included some historical facts about the village in his official remarks. Cherie Everett of the Vermontville Public Library helped Wolpe prepare his ifQ'.^ Wln^ ’ih. Wl Unity comments by digging up facts about Vermontville’s history for his press secretary, Paul Gordon. “I know that without your help, it would have been im­ possible to prepare the Vermontville remarks in time for insertion in the Congressional Record,” Wolpe told Everett in a letter. Also in that letter, he told her that “Frankly, it (remarks as printed in the Congres­ sional Record) should have a credit line on the top that reads: Prepared with the assistance of Cherie Everett, Vermontville Public Library. “Unfortuately the Record has no provisions for giving that kind of credit where it’s due, so I hope this letter of thanks will suffice,” Wolpe said. For the Record, he related that “a visit to Vermontille is a sweet experience in more ways than one. This is because Vermontville is known widely for its maple syrup. The first settlers in the town learned about maple syrup production from the Pottawatomie Indians. For­ tunately for the rest of us, Vermontville residents have been making maple syrup since. “Anyone who has tasted pancakes with Vermontville syrup knows one of the ex­ alted experiences in life that defy description. “The citizens of Vermont­ ville celebrate their, town’s best-known product every April, and rightly so. I would advise all the gourmets among my colleagues to settle for nothing less than Vermont­ ville syrup on their waffles. No imitation can compare,” said Wolpe. “Vermontville has an in­ teresting and, in an important respect, a distinctive history. The town got its name because its original residents were a band of sturdy settlers from Vermont. “On March 27, 1836, while still in New England, they adopted a constitution of the Union Colony and immigrated to Michigan later that year. This constitution was unique: No other town or territory in our history 'has ever been organized in quite the same way,” he said in the Record. “The move west was not ah easy project. It began in 1835, when a Congregational minister from east Poltney, VT., named Sylvester Cochrane traveled to Michgian looking for a site for a permanent community. “In April 1836, a month after the constitution was adopted, Waite J. Squier, S.S. Church and William G. Henry left Vermont with the Union Colony’s funds to purchase land for the settlement. Their compatriots followed. Soon after the settlers’ arrival, the Congregational Church was organized with Cochrane as pastor,” said Wolpe. “These early settlers at­ tached great importance to the education of their children, which has become a tradi­ tional value of Vermontville. The town’s first school, in a modest log schoolhouse, opened its doors in 1838. Another landmark of Ver­ montville’s early days, nearly as significant, was the establishment of the first post office, with Dewey H. Robin­ son as postmaster,” Wolpe commented.

Nashville, Vol. 115-No. 1 — Tuesday, July er 1986 /S' Vermontville street project suit appears to be settled by Shelly Sulser A dispute erupting from a 1984 street project in Ver­ montville is apparently settl­ ed, but some residents are still unhappy. According to Vermontville officials, the village had been named in a suit stemming from work contracted for the replacement of storm sewers and ditches on First, Third and Maple streets, among other improvements. “It was quite an expensive project,” said current street administrator Tony Wawiernia. In all, the project cost the village $500,000 to also: pave Maple Street, East and West First streets, East and West Second streets; to widen South Main Street; to install ditches on Spring Street, First, Second, Third and Elm streets and to install a water main on Third and Second streets. Wawiernia explained that the contractor, National Sand, was apparently not pleased with pipes provided by the Lamar Corporation for the project, and therefore would not pay the cost to purchase the pipes. As a result, the Lamar Cor­ poration sued National Sand for non-payment, said Wawiernia, and also named Vermontville (and its bonding company, Indiana Insurance Company) in the suit as the recipient of the pipes that were not paid for. In addition, several smaller suits apparently resulted when National Sand allegedly did not finish the project. Wawiernia said a crack was left in the Maple Street pave­ ment and some trees were allegedly damaged on the pro­ perty of Kay Marsh when Michigan Bell buried some underground cables during the street project. Some other residents also had claims resulting from the project. Former Street A dministrator Don Lewis said he first proposed the project in 1983 because he believed the street system was in poor condition. “I felt the people were not getting their money’s worth with their taxes,” Lewis stated. ‘‘Some of the streets had been so bad over the years...they’d been neglected.” Prior to beginning the pro­ ject, the village had applied for a bond of $500,000 from the state that could be used ex­ clusively for street im­ provements. The village council learned that Vermont­ ville qualified for the bond and decided to go forward with the project. The village reimbursed the state for 95 percent of the cost, retaining five percent until the work was completed. Because they felt the job was not finished and disgruntled residents with damaged pro­ perty had not recieved restitu­ tion, the village continued to retain the remaining $40,000 until two months ago, Lewis said. At that time, village at­ torney Dave Smith apparently told the village council that the residents would be paid, and that the matter would be dismissed if the village would pay the remaining $40,000. “By paying the $40,000, we are so cleared,” noted village clerk Sharon Stewart at the meeting of the village council Thursday after reading a letter from Smith to the council. But because some residents still have not been reimbursed for property damage resulting from the street project, Marsh, who is the village treasurer, was displeased. “I think it’s wrong that he ever was paid and I think it’s wrong that Dave Smith ever was paid,” she said. In other council business, Eaton County Commissioner Edgar Fleetham who represents the Vermontville and Sunfield areas announced to the council intentions by the county to request one mill for 20 years to build a new county jail. Fleetham noted the present facility in Charlotte is a 60-bed overcrowded system. “You may not buy this pro­ posal but in the end, we will have a new jail,” Fleetham said. He noted plans are to build a 150-bed facility, at a propos­ ed cost of $12-13 million. “I understand that you just passed four mills for school operations and that all over the county there are farmers losing their shirts,” Fleetham said. “But that’s beside the point — here’s a problem that’s got to be solved.” Fleetham noted the present jail facility is becoming over­ crowded, and prisoners are now required 70 square feet each. He noted building stan­ dards will not allow the addi­ tion of a top floor to the pre­ sent structure. Fleetham added that if the proposal is repeatedly turned down, the only alternative would be to send the inmates to other counties. “We’ve considered in house detention but the sheriff felt that would be too much of a vacation,” Fleetham said. The millage request will ap­ pear on the August 5 primary ballot. In other business, the council: —Turned down a request of a resident who wanted the village to install a fence bet­ ween her property and the central ball diamond. The village agreed to return a let­ ter to the complaintant to say that the matter w?s discussed and that the Little League will be asked to keep children off the property. —Agreed' to allow Judy Bayha to hold a toy sale in the village park on August 9 dur­ ing the village-wide garage sale. Bayha plans to donate the proceeds to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. —Approved the installment of 200 feet of a four-inch sewer line on Sherman Street at a cost of about $1,000. —Agreed to pay $50 for materials to be used in the schools during Fire Preven­ tion Week, the first week in October. —Agreed to close First Street in front of the fire barn on August 9 for the annual summer fire department dance. —Agreed to let Lake Odessa Housing Coordinator Cheryl Storey attend the August meeting of the village council to provide information on a home improvement program... ’ Vermontville had another 150th birthday celebration, this one called ‘Oldtimers Weekend*.

Nashville man rescued in Florida submarine accident By Shelly Sulser A Nashville man escaped serious injury last week after a submarine he was navigating sunk off the coast of Florida. News reporter Sue Smith from the Ft. Pierce News Tribune told the Maple Valley News that Harold Ruffner, 60, who resides near Thor­ napple Lake during the sum­ mer, and his uncle, Daniel Ruffner, 69, were rescued by the United States Coast Guard shortly after the Wednesday accident occured. Smith said Friday that the twb-man submarine sunk in about 20 feet ofwater close to a half mile off the Florida coast. She said the men apparently radioed for help at about noon Wednesday, and two U.S. Coast Guard boats were dispatched to the scene. The two men had a 15 minute ox­ ygen supply available to them during the rescue operation, she said. Members of the Coast Guard’s diving team were able to lift the 2,300 lb. craft to the surface by hand and could see one of the men through the hatch. They were able to retrieve the man, believed to have been Daniel Ruffner, almost immediately. A petty officer ofthe U.S. Coast Guard Swim Team then swam in the general area knowing another person would “pop up”, and indeed found the second vic­ tim, Harold, unconscious. Both mep were admitted to the hospital and later released, Smith reported. Harold’s son, Larry Ruffner of Vermontville noted his father and Daniel had been in Florida trying to sell the Ben Mason appointed council trustee by Shelly Sulser Former Nashville businessman Ben Mason is the newest council trustee, but it is a job not new to the lifelong area resident. Having served in the same capacity nearly 30 years ago, Mason now returns to the council filling a seat vacated by the recent resignation of Gerald Kent. “If I’m going to live in Nashville, I might as well have a part,” Mason said of why he applied for the post. “I just want to be there to pass my opinion.” Mason formerly worked at Nashville’s Hometown Lumber for 35 years as an employee and eventually owner. Mason sold the business in 1983, and later became the owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Battle Creek, a store carrying wild bird feed and other, ac­ cessories. He then sold that business in January of 1985 and retired. In the community, Mason does what he calls “mis­ sionary” work, helping those in need. He also serves as the president of the Love Inc. Board of Barry County based in Hastngs, and he and his wife together perform various sorts of volunteer work. In addition, Mason and his wife serve on the board ofthe Nashville Church of the Nazarene and the Nashville Christian Academy board. Mason will assume the same responsibilities that Kent left behind, meaning he will now serve as chairman of the Department of Public Works (DPW) Committee, and as a member of the Finance Com­ mittee and the fire board. Ben Mason, shown here during colder weather, has been appointed council trustee in Nashville. subamarine they restored. “They took it down there last fall,” Larry Ruffner said. “They restored it with inten­ tions of reselling it.” He said they had had no luck selling the craft there last winter and tried again to sell it this summer. ' Last summer, said Larry, the two men had tested the submarine in Thornapple Lake and it appeared to be in good condition. “He said it worked okay in fresh water but knew it would react differently in salt water,” Larry said. He said his father, Harold and his great-uncle “Grant” Daniel left for Florida two weeks ago to try to sell the craft. Daniel Ruffner apparently resides in Ft. White, Fla. The younger Ruffner had not heard ofthe accident when contacted by the Maple Valley News Friday and had not spoken with his father since he first arrived in Florida, he said. During the winter months, Larry said his father lives on the South Padre Islands offthe coast of Texas. “The sub was definitly not water worthy when they brought it home (prior to restoring it),” Larry recalls. Smith said she had learned that the Ruffners Had at least 18. years submarine ex­ perience, had previously taken the sub into Lake Michigan and were trying to determine if it would be successful in the ocean water when the mishap occured. The exact cause of the acci­ dent is not known at this time. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, July 15, 1986 — Page 2 _Po_ly_he_mu_s m Hessel Forest of Vermontville, who calls himself "the bug man of Varmintville" is shown Here with a starfish from his collection.

Each of these multi-syllable terms are the proper names of various unusual and sometimes rare insects that the Vermontville man adores col­ lecting and preserving. “I collect stuffregardless of what it is,” he explains. But with most of his con­ centration on insects, crusta­ ceans and any other type of “varmint”, Forest likes to be known as simply “The Bug Man of Varmintville (Vermontville)”. A native of Gratiot County and a retired General Motors employee, Forest said his col­ lection began by accident when he captured what to him seemed an unusual creature nearly eight years ago. “I had been deer hunting and I wanted a place to sit down so I started digging out this old stump and a millipede rolled out,” he said. Forest was able to keep the millipede alive at home in a pickle jar for five months before it died. Wanting to keep the. 4'A inch long bug with 112 legs, Forest decided to learn how to use clear plastic casting resin to preserve the bug. (He add­ ed that'an 11 inch millipede with 710 legs is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records.) Now, Forest has nearly 100 preserved creatures that he often takes to schools and organizations to make educa­ tional presentations. Some in­ clude bats, snakes, star fish, moths, dragon flies and countless others. bugs on these excursions, but also a slide show featuring shots from Australia where Forest and his wife, Madelyn, spent a month while visiting relatives. Among his prized posessions are a collection of four, five and six leaf clovers, and he soon will have a rare seven leaf clover. “A lot of people give them to me and wherever I go I look at the ground.” he said. “I just see these things and I pick them up.” After he has carefully preserved a subject, Forest will sometimes give it as a gift. “I give a lot of them away,” said Forest. Because the hobby holds a special fascination to children, Forest notes he delights in their interest. “Kids come and ask me if I will preserve a bug for them and I always tell them ‘the first time it’s free but if you come back it will cost,’” he said. Other collections Forest has include 42 cameras, 32 hats, and countless sea shells, stones, knives, coins and watches. “The cheapest camera I got was for a dime...some still work and some don’t,” com­ mented Forest, who has pur­ chased most ofhis collectibles at yard and garage sales. One item that is special to Forest is an acorn top that he feels everyone should have because of its survival value. “I tell everyone I meet Here, Forest is shown with his camera collection. about this because it is such a useful tool,” stressed Forest. Forest claims the sound made from blowing into the concave part of the top will carry for up to five miles. Also among his favorite items are a kangaroo and deer skin coat that he purchased while in Austria! ian and Australia, “cowboy” some an hat hunting boomerangs. “These came from the Aboriginie’s,” he said using another of his favorite vocabulary words.

Francis referred to early local hardwareman C. L. Glasgow as “one of our live wire businessmen, who was a good advertiser.” This brought to mind the eye-catching display ads run by Glasgow in The Nashville News during the 1920s. In­ variably, Glasgow’s ads ap­ peared in the upper left hand comer of Page 4. A clear il­ lustration of the product ac­ companied by a minimum of words set his ads apart from others of that era. Glasgow came to Nashville from Jonesville in August, 1881, and purchased the thriv­ ing hardware business of Charles C. Wolcott. Accor­ ding to the News-account, he paid $3,500 for the store and real estate, and bought the stock at wholesale inventory. “Glasgow is an able youngish man, who has three years experience in the wholesale hardware business and live years in the retail end,” explained The News. Bom on a Hillsdale County farm in 1858 of Scotch-Irish parentage, Glasgow attended Jonesville schools and Hillsdale College; found his first employment in a hard­ ware store at Jonesville, then migrated to Sioux City, Iowa, where he worked as an assis­ tant bookkeeper and billing clerk in a wholesale hardware business. Called home a year later by the illness of his mother, Glasgow eventually came to Nashville. He returned to Jonesville the following year just long enough to claim Matie C. Miller as his bride. In 1899 the couple built an elegant home at 244 Washington Street, now the residence of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Myers. Glasgow’s unquestioned honesty and frankness and his open manner in treatment of his customers soon won him a host of friends and helped establish a large trade. He soon was regarded as one of the brightest businessmen in the county. His line of goods, in addi­ tion to traditional hardware items, included horse-drawn buggies, surries and cutters, plus a full line of farm im­ plements and equipment and all manner of household ap­ pliances of the day. In today’s column some of his ads for the latter are featured. They show a special appeal to housewives of the 1920s. Next week, in this space, we will feature a few of Glasgow’s ads that were geared to attract the farmer trade. Fuel is scarce Cassius L. Glasgow was an honest, fortright, "live wire" businessman who knew the value of adver­ tising. His eye-catching ads became a regular feature of The Nashville News. He went on to become a respected Republican state senator and, later, Michigan Railway Commissioner. The hardware store re­ mained under his control for 52 years, and was sold six years after his 1933 death to settle the estate. A civic leader, Glasgow also served as president of the local bank. and some rooms not used 0** ~ ten are shut off. A good Oil Heatqr is a wonderful help. It can be carried into a bath or bedroom and in a few wu minutes it is com-fortable, Notice—I say a GOOD Oil Heater, and the above is the cleanest, strongest and best I have ever seen. Try it, and if not satisfactory return. C. L. Glasgow Fuel was scarce in 1926, according to this February 25th ad in The Nashville News. According to earlier ads, Glasgow offered this stove in black, nickel or enamel finishes, at prices starting at $6.35. 45 If you need a labor-saving machine, auto or radio, get “Her” something — and you can get no article that will hqlp her any more than a good Sewing Machine. I have sold the White & Eldredge for years, not at the big price charged by those who draw them about the country, but 15 to 20 dollars less, and guaran­ tee them 20 years. C. L. GLASGOW In this ad in The News on January 20, 1927, Glasgow touts the White & Edridge machine as a "labor-saving" machine and implies that if the husband needs an auto or a radio, the little woman certainly deserves the help of a good sewing machine. Homemakers Day features BBQ demo, music, contest Friday, July 25 is the date of the annual Homemakers Day activities at the Eaton County 4-H Fair, starting at 1 p.m., in the Community Tent on the fairgrounds. For the past four years the Eaton County Association of Extension Homemakers and the Farm Bureau with cooperation from the Eaton County Fair Board have of­ fered an afternoon program especially planned for the homemakers. This year Susan Joostbern, Director of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce will host the day’s events which will include the crowning of the 1 986 Champion Homemaker by Lt. Governor, Martha Griffiths. Three ladies have become candidates for Champion Homemaker: Rita Skidmore Skidmore, Ruth Landes and Rosetta McCarrick. The winner is chosen on individual merits with special emphasis on community, church and youth involvement. The candidates have been judged by personal iinterviews.

At that time there still were plenty of women who did the weekly family laundry on a scrub­ board. Even a hand-cranked wringer was a luxury for some. this year’s selection a difficult decision. Rita Skidmore and her hus­ band Keith, live on John Street in Charlotte. In 1966, they moved with their four children to Charlotte from Pennsylvania. Since living here Rita has been a Campfire leader for eleven years and presently serves on the Campfire Board. She has also been involved with Catholic girls on all three levels of religious awards offered by her church. Rita is a cosmetologist with an instructor’s license and taught at the Beauty School in the Charlotte Plaza until 1982. Rita has held many offices in the St. Mary’s Altar Society and the Council of Catholic Women for the Diocese of Lansing. Rosetta McCarrick is the mother of twin daughters and she and her husband Charles live on Haven Street in Eaton Rapids. Rosetta is employed by the Eaton Rapids Public Schools as a bus driver. Rosetta is very active in the 4-H program; she is ad­ ministrative and project leader for the Island City Variety Club and she has been food coordinator for the county­ wide Pancake Suppers, Horse Shows and Food Shack. As a part of her volunteer commit­ ment she has helped with many safety programs that provided school bus safety for children and their parents. Ruth Landes lives on a 167 acre farm west of Charlotte with her husband Orley. They have one daughter and helped ad notes that the cost of the range was about $17.50, and admonished men: "Quite kidding your wife or daughter that it's not as hot in the kitchen as out in the field, or that she can stand it all right this summer." to raise nine foster children. Ruth’s home has always been open to relatives that needed care or a place to work. Foreign exchange students have, in the past, been part of the Landes household as well. Ruth has been active in' her church as a Sunday School and Bible School teacher. She has also been a strong supporter of Extension programs. She continues to help 4-H with special educational projects after twenty years as a club leader. Ruth is an Exten­ sion Homemaker and volunteers her time to work on March of Dimes and Cancer drives.

Main, Vermontville Call: 726-0257 Public Schools Get Highest Rating in 5 Years In a recent survey, Michigan citizens rated the state’s public schools higher than they have in the past five years, signaling an increased confidence in the education our young people are receiving. The survey, an annual telephone poll conducted by the State Board of Education, showed 54 percent of the 806 adults questioned graded their public schools above average, with an A or B rating. In the 1985 poll, 50 percent of those questioned gave A or B ratings to the public schools. The figure was only 43 per­ cent for the 1984 poll. The results ofthe survey are encouraging. Following the sobering conclusions of the “Nation at Risk” report com­ pleted by a presidential commission in the early 1980s, confidence in our public schools seemed to hit a low point. I truly believe the public schools can take steps to increase education excellence, but the support of parents, is needed for the changes to be truly meaningful. Michigan residents were polled with telephone inter- views April 21-24. In addition to the overall favorable rating for the public schools, 88 per­ cent of the respondents feel high schools should provide sex education for students, 78 percent favor sex education in junior high schools, while on­ ly 46 percent agree with sex education being offered in grades four to six. Eighty percent of those polled support the idea of school-based health clinics. Seventy-one percent support the idea of the clinics pro­ viding birth control informa­ tion, but only 40 percent agree those clinics should provide students with contraceptive devices. Half the Michigan citizens surveyed disagreed with the current method of financing our public schools, which is based on property values. Forty-four percent agreed with the formula. All the news from the survey was not favorable, however. Less than half those surveyed believe today’s high school graduates are wellprepared to face respon­ sibilities as adults. This figure indicates ncaes that a parents parens, schools, communities and the Legislature must must examine examine Legislature both what and how much we teach our young people. We have a responsibility to work even harder to raise the level of trust in our state’s public schools. Legislation May Help Reduce the Number of Miss­ ing Children On any given day, nearly 500 Michigan children are listed as missing with the Department of State Police. Legislation has been introduced in the State House that may help reduce that number and KODAK TWIN PACK SPECIAL Each Twin Pack INCLUDES: • 2 rolls of film -110,135 or Disc 200 ASA • Kodak $1.00 Rebate • 5 $1.00 OFF McJon photofinishing coupons 110-48 exposures... 135-48 exposures...

The hotline may also offer comfort to parents who have missing children. Being a parent is a difficult but rewarding job involving a great many anxieties. The loss of potential loss of a child is seemingly on the minds of many more parents these days. Ifthe Legislature can do something to prevent or help in the area of missing children, it must fulfill that responsibility. Budget Bills Get Legislative Approval The Michigan Legislative has put the finishing touches on a $6.12 billion state budget for 1986-87 that contains add­ ed dollars for the Department of o Corrections and education interests. Bills allocating state tax money to the government for the year beginning October 1 were approved with bipartisan support. The largest allocations are $1.92 billion for the Depart­ ment of Social Services (DSS); $1 billion for fouryear colleges and universities; $707 million for the Depart­ ment of Mental Health; and $478 million for the Depart­ ment of Corrections to pay for new prisons. The general fund budget in­ creased by 2.24 percent over that for fiscal year 1985-86. Other allocations include: --$108.9 million for the Department of Natural Resources. --$545 million for elementary and secondary education. —$3.6 million for the executive office. —$156 million to the State Police Department. —$170.9 million for the regulatory budget. —$25.3 million to the Department of Agriculture. The budget represents a reasonable level of spending that reflects a tax rollback which was an absolute necessity for the people ofthis state. I’m pleased the general fund budget represents only a slight increase over current debate over ways to solve the state’s liability insurance pro­ blem, the House and Senate agreed to a series of provi­ sions. The package has been signed into law by the governor. A $225,000-cap on pain and suffering awards in medical malpractice suits was endors­ ed by the six-member con­ ference committee as a provi­ sion in one ofthe bills (House Bill 5154). Its aim is to send a message to insurance com­ panies that the Michigan Legislature is serious about liability reform. Because the bill allows for several exemptions from the capping provision, it does not completely address the issue of lowering rapidly rising in­ surance premiums. In time, this legislation will bring some reduction in the ex­ cessively high insurance premiums, but there is a long way to go. The exceptions to the cap include death, foreign objects left in the body, injuries to the reproductive system, fraudulent concealment medical malpractice, of wrongful removal of a limb or organ and loss of vital bodily function. Beginning March 31, Michigan taxpayers began to see more money in their paychecks as the income tax rate was returned to 4.6 per cent. The state’s taxpayers have consistently and rightful­ ly called for a decrease in the income tax, and the Legislature has responded. In addition, a Republicansponsored bill has been in­ troduced in the Michigan House that would lower the rate to 4.4 percent. Because there is reason to believe the federal tax reform bill, expected to be enacted by summer’s end, would create a windfall to the state’s Treasury, it is necessary to of­ fset this event.

Time to start an exercise program? You bet! However, the American Heart Associa­ tion of Michigan (AHA/MI) wants to remind you to start gradually and to consult your doctor, especially if you’re over 40 or have been inactive. It may seem to be an uphill battle, but the benefits are well worth it. According to Barry Franklin, PhD,, direc­ tor, cardiac rehabilitation, William Beaumont Hospital, “Regular exercise reduces one’s coronary risk factors.” Franklin, a member of the AHA/MI exercise and cardiac rehabilitation committee, ex­ plained that, “Exercise helps reduce weight and body fat and produces a more favorable blood lipid profile of lower serum cholesterol and higher HDL cholesterol.” Higher HDL cholesterol levels reduce your risk of car­ diovascular disease. To select the right type of exercise program, keep several factors in mind. First of all, you should start a pro­ gram based on your health, physical abilities and on what specific benefits you hope to achieve (weight loss, endurance training, etc.) Also, consider what types of equipment and facilities you‘11 need. Whether you’re sociable or enjoy solitude might also help select an ac­ tivity. Other important factors to consider include the seasonal adaptability of the exercise, how much time it re­ quires and what type of exer­ cise would be most beneficial to you. Some exercises, such as walking, jumping rope or running really don’t require special facilities or expensive equipment. Generally exercise is either isotonic or isometric. Isotonic exercises are those that are rhythmic, repetitious, use large or groups of muscles, and challenge the circulatory system. For example, aerobics, swimming, running and walking are all isotonic. Isometric exercises are those that develop specific muscles but do little to pro­ mote cardiovascular health and fitness or endurance. Weight lifting, for example, is an isometric exercise. If you feel you lack motiva­ tion to start once you’ve chosen an exercise program, just remember all the benefits you’ll derive from it. In addition to the blood lipid changes, exercise will give you more energy, help you cope with stress (physically and emotionally), help to counter anxiety and depres­ sion, and improve your self­ image. Regular exercise also tones your muscles, helps control your appetite, and with proper diet, can help you control your weight. After consulting your doc­ tor, deciding on a program, and getting motivated, you’re almost ready to start. Now, all you need to do is select the proper clothing for the exer­ cise and climate. Clothing should be comfor­ table and not binding. You should avoid sweat suits (dur­ ing warm weather) and plastic or rubberized suits any time of year. This type of clothing will not help you lose weight any faster by making you sweat more. In fact, it can cause dangerously high body temperature resulting in heat stroke. Good shoes, too, are essen­ tial for comfort and in preven­ ting injuries. To ayoid possi­ ble injury, wear a shoe that’s designed for the activity you’re starting. If you’re going to start an exercise program during warm weather, you should take a few extra precautions against heat stroke and dehydration. Joseph Rogers, D.O., chairman of the AHA/MI ex­ ercise and cardiac rehabilita­ tion committee, suggests, “You should either exercise early in the morning or late at night when it’s cool and avoid exercising when it’s real humid. When it’s real humid, your perspiration doesn’t evaporate as fast to cool you down. “Even athletes well conditioned heart rate should be increased need to train for at least 20 to 30 minutes. specifically for hot This is essential to improve temperatures and climates,” cardiovascular fitness and says Rogers. “People who are should be repeated three times in good shape are at just as a week.

The board had been requested by residents of the Thomapple Lake area to adopt such a noise ordinance to control an ongoing problem of off' road vehicles and loud parties that allegedly take place on property known as the Indian Mounds, next to the Meadow Acres Trailer Park. The board had agreed to have its attorney draft an or­ dinace to exclude farmers but found that could not be done. The owner of the Indian Mounds property, J.P. Ed­ wards of Battle Creek, said he had attempted to keep trespassers off his 160 acre parcel but posted signs had been ignored. Cooley said Edwards has given him power of attorney over the property to sign a warrent should the noise pro­ blem on the property continue. “I feel this will help stop the problem,” Cooley said. Although to the board the issue is closed, some park residents say they are furious. “I’m very unhappy about it,” said concerned trailer it, park resident Shirley Dexter. “I find it rather disheartening that the board elected by the people of the township is not acting on the their behalf.” Dexter feels Cooley acting as power of attorney will not solve the noise problem com­ pletely, that it will not help people with similar problems in other parts of the township and that Cooley acting as power of attorney is illegal. “I think it’s rather unusual for the supervisor to act on behalf of the property owner,” she said.. “...I’m sure it’s a conflict of interest because I talked to someone on the county level and they said it was too.” Dexter, who noted she plans to contact an attorney concerning the matter, said that the township supervisor “is supposed to represent the interests of the township, not of one person. “Mr. Cooley is no more capable of stopping this than anyone else is,” she said. iiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirnrmir1 Eaton County Extension CALENDAR OF EVENTS 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111It11III!IIHIIf Sat., July 12-9 a.m. 4-H Fair Clean-up Day, Fairgrounds.

STATE LICENSE NO. 1612 It's fairtime for the Junior Livestock Association Members of the Eaton County 4-H Club and Junior Livestock Association are eagerly getting ready for the 1986 Eaton County 4-H Fair, July 20-26. There is lots to be done in preparing for a week of learn­ ing, competition, camping, bam duty, new friends and just plain fun through involve­ ment in the 4-H livestock programs. A 4-H'er begins by either raising or purchasing a young animal and then feeding and caring for the animal each day. The young people learn much by feeding, grooming and training their animals and having to work together for the months necessary to get ready for the fair. Members come from all areas of the county and from all walks of life. The lessons and skills they learn in respon­ sibility, animal care, decision making and cooperation with others, will follow them throughout their lives. At the fair there is all the excitement of the livestock judging contest, showman­ ship, and market class com­ petition, but one ofthe biggest events is Sale Day, marking the culmination of months of hard work. The Junior Livestock Association members wish to invite the community and its commer­ cial and industrial business peopel to join them at their an­ nual Market Livestock Auction.

The Maple Valley News, Vol. 115, No 3. Tuesday, July 22, 1986 Two new principals named for M.V by Shelly Sulser A Maple Valley school system veteran and a district newcomer will wear new hats this fall as junior-senior high and elementary principals. Former assistant principal Larry Lenz was appointed last week by the board of educa­ tion to replace Burr Hartenburg as principal of Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School. At Kellogg and Fuller Street elementary schools in Nashville, Joy Patten former­ ly of the Okemos schools will replace Howard Yost. At the junior-senior high school, Hartenburg resigned his 14-year principal position to return to the classroom teaching junior high science. Yost retired as Kellogg and Fuller Street principal after 18 years there. “I felt it was a career move — a step up in a system I real­ ly enjoy working in,” Lenz said of his new post. Lenz has been employed nearly 20 years in the Maple Valley district — nine years as a teacher and 10 as athletic director. Originally from Lansing, Lenz is a graduate of Central Michigan University and ma­ jored in physical education. As a teacher he was an in­ structor ofphysical education, history and senior sociology. Lenz enters the position at a time when major changes are being made in the overall pro­ gram, including the addition of five new teachers, one ad­ ditional counselor and a revamped junior high schedul­ ing procedure. “One of the first things I’d like to see improved is the communication between the administration and the teaching staff,” Lenz said. He also added that the new curriculum director (who has not yet been hired) will ex­ plore different curriculum possibilities. “I think it’s going to be great. The community gave the system a real shot in the arm when they approved the four mills and I think it will be advantageous to get some new blood in here in the teaching staff,” Lenz noted. He also complimented the citizen ad­ visory committee for their Vermontville girl designs Sesquicentennial Postal Stamp Linda Schippel, left, was the designer of the commerative Vermontville Sesquicentennial postal stamp. Also shown is Vermontville postmaster Vic Haas who came up with the idea. by Shelly Sulser Linda Schippel is well on her way to a successful art career, with the recent introduction of a sesquicentennial postal stamp design she created. The exclusive postal stamp commemorates the founding of the village of Vermontville 150-years ago, and was used, according to U.S. Postal regulations, only on July 12. Although sesquicentennial celebrations are taking place throughout the year, the stamp could only be used for mail one day. July 12 was chosen because of the “Old Timers Weekend” festivities that Vermontville’s were held in Vermontville, said Postmaster Vic Haas. First sparked in the mind of Haas, the idea for a special Vermontville stamp was then approved by the village sesquicentennial committee. Dorothy Carpenter, president of the Vermontville Historical Society later asked Linda if she would like to design the stamp. “I guess she was impressed with my artwork and asked me to do it,” said Linda, who has won numerous awards for her artistic works as a Maple Valley High School student. “She told me to do a few STAMP, continued on page 2 commitment to the system. program for having the fifth “The positives outweigh and sixth grade students the negatives,” he said.

She noted that the community seems to be positive about education at Maple Valley, evidenced by the recent millage passage. “There seems to be a very positive attitude toward education in the community,” she observed. Patten is originally a Jackson native, and earned her bachelor of science degree in 1969 from Western Michigan University. She was also a social science major there. She later earned her masters degree in reading in 1975 from Eastern Michigan Universtiy, having also had additional classes in language arts, computer education and sex education.

Ken Meade appointed to serve on Maple Valley School Board “The school system is the biggest business around here and I think with my ex­ perience, I can be a part,” he said. “I know what an ad­ ministrator ought to do and I know what the concerns and interests of the people are.” Having served 20 years as a hospital administrator, Meade worked at Grands Rapids Osteopathic Hospital, in Ed­ more and in Jackson for the past 10 years. He and his wife Betty have four children, nine grand­ children and one great­ grandchild. “Education is a very key factor in the help and guidance of the lives of our young peo­ ple,” he said. The board also agreed by a unanimous vote to hire Joy Sue Patten of Mason as the new principal of Kellogg and Fuller - Street schools in Nashville, replacing Howard Yost who retired. Patten will work under a two year contract beginning August 11, 1986 through July 30, 1988 with an 86-87 salary of $32,000. Larry Lenz is the new Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School principal, replac­ ing Burr Hartenburg who returns to the classroom as a science teacher. (See a separate story on Lenz and Patten in this issue). The board last Monday, Ju­ ly 14, also decided upon the employ Ron Harris as the new bus mechanic at the rate of $7.50 per hour, and Gordon Swinson will teach vocational agriculture with a contract taking effect August 1, 1986 through June 30, 1987. Swinson is from Spruce and has been working as a loan of­ ficer with the farm credit ser­ vice in Alpena. He has a bachelor of science degree from Michigan State Univer­ sity with a major in agricultural education and minors in biology and applied science. Swinson also has a masters degree from MSU with a major in vocational edcuation. With twelve years ex­ perience in teaching and three in finance, he previously taught in the Alcona school system. Swinson’s salary will be ad­ justed when teacher contract negotiations are completed. During its reorganizational session, Board President Dave Hawkins was elected to con­ tinue in that post, while Loren Lehman was chosen to serve as vice-president. Paula Cole was reelected to serve as secretary, and Dale Ossenheimer, board treasurer. The board also agreed to hold its meetings in the district administration building on the second Monday ofeach month beginning at 7 p.m. at conti­ nuing no later than 11:30 p.m. In other business, the recommendation of board: Superintendent Carroll Wolff —Accepted a letter of to transfer Nancy Moore from resignation from Phyllis the Kellogg School office to Trumble, a Vermontville the central office as a part­ school bus driver. time bookkeeper-secretary. —Agreed to participate in She will earn an hourly rate of the Michigan Association of $5 with a five percent increase School Boards insurance pro­ in salary after serving a gram at a cost of $3.25 per satisfactory probationary student, with a total of $5,469 period of 90 days.

Glasgow. Accor­ ding to the late Clyde W. Francis, a Nashville boy who grew up to become a Michigan and Ohio journalist, Glasgow was one of the village’s early “live wire businessmen who was a good advertiser.” In the 1920s Glasgow’s-ads were a regular feature of The The Tool That Puts Its Work Out of Sight —It demands therefore perfect mechanism that will not get out of order. Note the above — simple in construction; covers seed perfectly; seeds evenly; sub­ stantial; easy draft; and the price, did you ask? $150.00. One of the oldest made, and I have sold it many years.

GLASGOW Hardware, Heating and Plumbing News, invariably appearing in the upper left-hand comer of page 4. An eye-catching il­ lustration accompanied by a minimum of words was a Glasgow trademark. Coming to Nashville from Jonesville in 1881 with a background in retail and wholesale hardware, Glasgow purchased the store and inven­ tory of Charles C. Wolcott, arid retained control of the business until his death in 1933, even though by that time he had gone on to become a respected Republican state senator and, later, Michigan Railway Commissioner. He also serv-. ed as president of the local bank. In addition to traditional hardware items, Glasgow’s store carried a full line of farm implements and equipment, horse-drawn buggies, surries and cutters, and all manner of household ap­ pliances of the day. Some of the latter were pictured in last week’s column. Today, we take a look at some of Glasgow’s. 1920s ads that were designed to attract the farmer trade. Again, the successful hardwareman ap­ parently adhered to the philosophy of the old Chinese proverb: “One picture is worth more than ten thousand words.” Once in a while Glasgow deviated from the picture for­ mat, using his ad space to an­ nounce the impending visit of Viewed through the columned fountain of Nashville’s Central Park in the 1920s, Glasgow's Hardware (center) looms large on the west side of Main Street. Founded in 1875 by Charles C. Wolcott, the business was purchased in 1881 by Cassius L. Glasgow, who retained control over 50 years. When the building was finally razed in 1977 it had continuously housed a hardware for over a century. an agricultural agent who would speak to area farmers about their equipment needs, etc. Even today Glasgow is remembered as an honest, fortright businessman whose frank and open manner in treatment of his customers won him a host of friends and loyal patrons. -O An interesting footnote to story on Glasgow’s early household appliance ads: Vada (Hum­ mel) Mix ofNashville phoned us to report that she still has in her home one of the early Eldredge sewing machines purchased from Glasgow Hardware 87 years ago. It was passed down through the family ofher late husband, Kenneth “Ted” Mix. She recalls that it was bought by his parents, Edward and Nellie Mix, purposely to make baby clothes upon the birth of Ted’s sister, Kathryn. The Mix family lived southeast of Nashville on Biven Road in Kalamo Township. The 1899 sewing machine is a somewhat older model than that pictured in last week’s column but similar in styling. Mrs. Mix said that it still works perfectly and it is still in use. last week’s VIKING SEPARATOR perfectly oalanced bowl with “different” discs than others—you cannot put it toto­ gether wrong after washing for it does not come apart, yet washes easily, skims close, runs lightly; fine finish and very durable.

GLASGOW For $75, one could purchase a 700-lb. capacity Vik­ ing cream separator in February 1927, the month this ad appeared in The News. Readers of that paper in the 1920s soon learned to watch for Glasgow's attractive ads in the upper left-hand corner of Page 4. This April 1925 ad picturing an Ontario drill is one of Glasgow's "wordier" displays. Generally the message accompanying an eye-catching picture was kept to a minimum. Price of the drill: $150. Glasgow's also handled heating and plumbing needs, noted at the bottom of this ad. nnTiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiLiiHTnnrnTnnnnniTift Eaton County Extension HUMMER i Saw Wood X X and Say Nothing YX❖ YX X X «£♦ XyY Y X | But use good sense and saw with some­ thing that will pay for itself and make you good money. “2 men—a cord an hour,” and then ten months of the year let the engine do your pumping, wash­ ing, churning, grinding, etc. It’s a ercules engine; starts easy, and nothing better made. | ? ?

A bit of humor is seen in this Glasgow ad that appeared in The News on Feb. 12, 1925. Other possible uses of the gasoline engine ("pumping, washing, churnchurn­ ing, grinding") would certainly have eased the workload of the housewife during the 10 months it was not sawing wood.

Swinson has been hired to teach vocational agriculture and advise the F.F.A. at Maple Valley High School. He is 39 years old and has successfully taught Vo-Ag for 12 years. Gordon comes to Maple Valley from Farm Credit Service of North Cen­ tral Michigan where he has worked in farm credit for three and a half years. Swinson received both his bachelor and masters degrees from Michigan NASH State Representative Amnesty program may allow early income tax rollback Gordon Swinson will serve as the new vo-ag teacher at Maple valley Jr. Sr. High School. Maple Valley’s Vocational Agriculture program. I can guarantee that I have also made the commitment to the growth and development of a strong Vo-AG and F.F.A. program for your school and community,’’ he said. Swinson will be moving here in the very near future. Both of his sons will be residing with him: William, age 19, a junior college stu­ dent and Travis, age 15, a high school sophomore this year. insurance. Her training included Michigan State University’s Institutes on Life and Property/Casualty Insurance and two weeks of instruction at the company’s home office in Lansing. Prior to joining Farm Bureau Insurance Group, Bahs was an insurance agent with Farmers Insurance Group in Hastings. She also Michigan’s tax amnesty program pulled in nearly $102 million, doubling initial estimates, and possibly allowing an early reduction in state income tax withholding rate: The state’s 50-day tax amnesty program, which end­ ed June 30, brought in an average $2 million per day from delinquent taxpayers. It allowed people who owed back taxes to pay them plus interest without facing penalty or prosecution. Another benefit of the amnesty program, however, is the potential for an early rollback ofthe income tax rate for Michigan residents. Com­ bined with a projected budget surplus ofat least $50 million, these dollars will allow the ef­ fective date of the income tax cut from March 31, 1986 to January 1, 1986. The state began the year with a rate of 5.1 percent. Thanks to the persistence of state (Republican) lawmakers, it was reduced to 4.6 percent March 31. With the rollback retroactive to January 1, the average 4.6 percent rate for all of 1986 would mark the first time the state’s rate has been that low for an entire year since 1981. A family of four that earns $25,000 per year should pay $1.82 a week less in state income taxes. Uncertainty exists over how taxpayers will receive the sav­ ings. That is, whether they will have increased paychecks or feel the effects of the rollback when they file 1987 tax returns. the Michigan is one of 19 states that have run successful tax amnesty programs. One in­ dividual paid a national record-setting $2.7 million, while the highest return from a business was $6.1 million. Treasury officials said 73,483 accounts were paid during the amnesty period. Amnesty has been hailed as a one-time effort that will benefit the average taxpayer who has consistently paid taxes. This scenario will be realized once the early rollback occurs. Now, the most important part of the amnesty program must begin. The state should move swiftly to step up its in­ vestigation of delinquent tax­ payers. There will be a special penalty of 50 percent assessed against those who did not take advantage ofthe period ifthey are subsequently found to be owing back taxes.

Therefore, it will be necessary to develop a budget that will permit reasonable spending on the most critical projects in the state. Among the most pressing environmental concerns in the state is how to. manage the 1,100 known contamination sites. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) estimates 426 of these sites currently require cleanup, and each will cost an average $4.5 million to treat. In addition, the DNR estimates that there are cur­ rently 7,000 abandoned gas stations in Michigan, each a potential problem due to possible leakage from underground tanks. The cost of inspecting these facilities is difficult to estimate and has not been included in most cost projections. A second dominant concern ofthe coalition is an improved transportation system. Traffic problems throughout the state are a result of the ever­ increasing demand on our 117,000 miles ofroadways. In the Legislature, we must be prepared to build more highways in addition to main­ taining the ones we have. Michigan is ahead of other states because it has realized its critical infrastructure needs. An improved internal system is not die work of one day or one year. Considerable public investment and the commitment of the Legislature will help assure that the needs of the next 10 years and beyond are met. o ~ Thank You CARD OF THANKS Nashville Little League Base­ ball and Softball thanks local merchants.

After harvest, care for the Strawberry patch necessary The strawberry harvest may be over, but now is no time to turn your back on the strawberry patch. Postharvest care is an im­ portant part of keeping, your patch healthy and productive. Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, suggests that home gardeners consider renovating their berry patches after harvest. With yearly renovation and weed and in­ sect control, you can keep a strawberry planting producing for 3-5 years. Begin the renovation by mowing or trimming off the leaves just above the crowns. A rotary mower set at the highest level works well, Krizek explains. Narrow rows to 8-10 inches wide by tilling or hoeing. Then thin plants to one every 6-8 inches, removing the older plants and leaving the younger, more vigorous ones. Giving the plants a little elbow room reduces the competition for water and plant nutrients and improves air circulation around the plants. Apply a complete garden fertilizer, such as 12-12-12, at a rate of 3 to 4 pounds per 100 feet of row. Spread the fer­ tilizer in bands several inches from the plant crowns and lightly "work it into the soil. Keep the patch weeded all summer to minimize shading and competition for water and plant nutrients. Herbicides (weedkillers) are available for commercial strawberry growers, but for the small-scale home planting, Krizek recommends hand pulling weeds or shallow cultivation with a hoe or garden tiller. Cultivating more than 2-3 inches deep may damage the strawberry plants’ roots. Summertime COME IN ... for a ... Cut and Style Nancy’s Beauty Shop 157 S.

It takes a lot of time and ef­ fort from many people to make a league like ours operate at a very small ex­ pense to the players. To give you some idea of how big the leagues are get­ ting, in just Vermontville, we had 220 youngsters sign up to play. There were two T-ball teams, five boys’ Pee-Wee teams, four boys Little League teams, three girls Pee­ Wee teams and two girls Little League teams. Nashville had almost as many teams and just as many players. Vermontville will have participated in over 65 different games by the end of tournament time and Nashville will have played nearly as many. All of this was made possi­ ble because of the time, energy and money donated toward the baseball and soft­ ball leagues. I would like to thank all ofthe following peo­ ple who have helped to make this a very successful season: —All of the coaches and assistant coaches of all the dif­ ferent teams. —All of the parents and helpful citizens that have helped umpire. —The village employees that worked on the fields. —The Village of Vermont­ ville for donating money for stone dust and citizen’s Elevator for free delivery. --The Vermontville Chamber of Commerce for the donation of the Porta-John on field No. 2. A special thanks to Terry Kellogg, the vice presidents from Nashville, and all of­ ficers from Vermontville. —All of the businesses from Nashville that donated money for uniforms and equipment. —And an extra-special thanks to all of the parents of both communities that make this league a very enjoyable experience for the kids.

Junipers vary in their tint. Some are a true neutral green while others are decidedly blue. The blue tinted Junipers enhance red, purple, and blue flowers. The petunia will sup­ ply all these colors. Among perennials, consider the state­ ly blue delphinium. Most blue of all the evergreens are the several varieties of the Blue Spruce. Their height makes them ex­ cellent backgrounds or frames for white, pink, or red flower­ ing trees. Crabapples are the classic example ofthis type of tree. And ofcourse white flowers are enhanced by any tint of evergreen. There’s also another subtle feature of evergreens. Many of them, especially some of the Junipers, develop a purple hue at the start of cold weather. Use these subtle color dif­ ferences of evergreens as you plan your garden. Visitors will detect a special quality in your design. However, they usually won’t be able to detect precisely why. The why? That’s your secret. Sandra Dee Hulbert would like to announce her marriage to Michael Patrick Duer. The wedding took place on June 10 at 6 p.m. at the Faust Hotel in New Braunfels, Texas. The Faust, being the first hotel in New Braunfels, was a hot spot in the roaring twen­ ties. With it’s lavish Elizabethan decor, it was made a member of the Na­ tional Historic Society of Hotels.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 115, - No. -4 — Tuesday, July 29, 1986 Four seek candidacy to Castleton Township clerk's post by Shelly Sulser Three Republicans and one Democrat are seeking their party's nomination as can­ didates in the Aug. 5 primary for election to the available Castleton Township clerk seat, a post vacated by the resignation of incumbent Sharon Bishop. Bishop resigned the position last October after she became Nashville’s postmaster, but was reappointed to the job after the board failed to elect a replacement due to tie votes. Bishop will vacate the seat in November, when a new clerk will be elected to fill out the remaining two years of her four year term. All four candidates for the clerk office are newcomers to the political arena, and none are currently employed elsewhere. On the Republican ticket are Donna Garvey, Junie Jarvie, Kenneth Meade Sr. Democrat Shirley Dexter is unopposed. Donna Garvey, 32, of 9219 Thornapple Lake Road, Nashville wants to be a part of the ‘decision making’ in Castleton Township, she says. Running in the primary on the Republican ticket, Garvey hopes to be elected to become more involved with her local community and government. Very active in local organizations as a volunteer, Garvey has served as vice­ president of the Nashville Co­ op Nursery School (1983-1984); vice-president and president of the Nashville Parent Teacher Organization (1985-86) and was recently reelected president for the 1986-87 school year. She was a member ofthe Maple Valley Board of Education appointed Citizen Advisory Committee; was treasurer of the Kids Marijuana plants seized in Nashville incident Ken Meade Donna Garvey Count Committee and is an assistant girl scout leader and volunteer helper at Fuller Street Elementary School. She and husband, Bernard, have two children, Mindy, 9, and BeeGee, 7. Junia Jarvie, 52, is also a Republican, and lives at 1954 Price Road, Nashville. After 30 years in the teaching profession, 20 at Maple Valley, Jarvie recently retired as home economics teacher. She decided to become a candidate for clerk because she now has more time to devote to the job, she said. Her husband, Elmer Jarvie, retired nearly one year ago as postmaster of the Nashville Post Office, a job Bishop now holds. The couple has three children: Mark, 29, Joy Redmond, 27, and Joseph, 26. Noting that her father serv­ ed as a township supervisor for several years elsewhere in the state, she feels she is capable of performing the clerk’s duties adequately. Shirley Dexter “I’m interested in the township government and the people that live here because I have lived here for 30 years,” she said. She also noted that, “I enjoy working with people and I feel I can deal and com­ municate with the public.” Jarive added that she is in­ terested in preserving the good resources the township has to offer. In addition to teaching, Jarvie has also served as a 4-H leader and has been active in the Maple Valley Education Junia Jarvie Association. Kenneth F. Meade, Sr., 60, was recently appointed to fill a trustee post on the Maple Valley Board of Education, and is actively seeking elec­ tion to the township clerk of­ fice as a Republican. A retired hospital administrator, Meade was previously employed at the Jackson Osteopathic Hospital for the past 10 years, the Tri-County Community Hospital for four years, and ELECTION, continued page 2 Local farmers send hay south by Shelly Sulser and Kathleen Scott Acting Nashville Police Chief Gene Koetje, left, and Officer Walter Pincumbe are shown with the nearly 100 marijuana plants they confiscated in the village last week.(Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) By Shelly Sulser Nearly one hundred mari­ juana plants were seized late Wednesday by Nashville police officials after they received a tip that the plants were growing on private pro­ perty within the village limits. Acting Nashville Police Chief Gene Koetje and officer Walter Pincumbe found near- ly 100 marijuana plants when they arrived at the scene Wednesday, Koetje said. Although Koetje did say he is reasonably sure who the perpertrator is, he could not give any indication as to his or her identity because no arrest has been made. The incident remains under investigation. “It could only happen in America,” said Ann Schantz as she watched the first of a number of semi trucks filled with Barry County hay heading south to meet a South Carolina-bound train in Indianapolis. “It’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever worked on,” she said. “I couldn’t keep the tears back. Schantz, grange master at the Maple Leaf Grange near Nashville, is spearheading a cbuntywide effort to aid drought-stricken farmers who, until this past week, have not seen significant amounts of rain for over two months. At the south M-66 grange on Friday during a rain shower which lasted most of the morning, area farmers loaded the first semi truck with nearly 500 bales of their own hay to benefit starving livestock in the southeast. With Don and Sue Drum­ mond of Freeport giving 1,000 bales, other county farmers contributing 1,500 small bales and 170 threequarter ton bales and with pledges still coming in, Schantz is more than pleased. “You can’t believe all the response,” Schantz com­ mented. “Our farmers are having a hard time too, but they’re willing to share with these people — it’s really FARMERS, continued page 8 The mastermind behind the Barry County haylift effort is Ann Schantz, who, along with the help of other grange members and dozens of farmers, is helping to keep southern livestock alive during the unusual drought by giving of their own hay. �The Mople Valley New* Nashville.

Nashville and have four children: Ken Meade IL Michael, Pam and Vicki Townsend; nine grand­ children and one great­ grandchild. Shirley Dexter, 40, is the lone Democrat in the clerk’s race, and is running what she calls a low key “old fashioned grassroots campaign” with her candidacy known only by word of mouth, she said. Dexter lives at lot 23, 6334 Thornapple Lk. Rd., Nashville, in the Meadow Acres Trailer Park. Dexter wants to be elected to the Castleton Township board because “I just feel the board needs some new blood — somebody who hasn’t been on it for a number of years,” she said. Concerning the job duties, Dexter said the most impor­ tant part is to represent the people fairly. “You have to put aside special interests and serve the ElectiM, from page 1 the Grand Rapids Osteopathic Hospital turfite years.

' She has two children, Brad, 6, and Jason, 5. Registered voters in Castleton Township can cast their ballots in the primary election from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. August 5 at the Castleton Township Hall. The Republican primary winner will face Dexter in November, unless another Democrat should wage a suc­ cessful write-in campaign on August 5.

Ten members of the class gathered recently for a 60th anniversary reunion at the home of Margaret (Furniss) Bateman of Nashville. When Nashville’s Class of 1926 met for their 60th an­ niversary reunion recently (see related story) they spent an enjoyable afternoon reminiscing about youthful days and pouring over old school photos. Among those pictures were these, loaned to us by Margaret (Furniss) Bateman, hostess of the reunion, which we requested for publication in the Memories column. The three photos show the Class of 1926 in five-year in­ tervals, starting from the se­ cond grade. We hope the pic­ tures bring back happy schoolday memories for many of our readers. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, July 29, 1986 — Page 5 Nashville Class of '26 observes 60th anniversary here By Susan Hinckley h,, mt "H, Ten of the 11 surviving members of Nashville’s Class of 1926 recently gathered to celebrate their 60th anniver­ sary since graduation. The group met the afemoon of May 24, proceeding the an­ nual alumni banquet at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. The afternoon gathering at the home of Margaret (Furniss) Bateman and her hus­ band Arthur, of Nashville, was attended by nine class members and their spouses. Another classmate joined the group for the banquet, where the contingent received special recognition. In addition to Mrs^ Bateman, those from the Class of 1926 at the afternoon event were Wilda (Martens) Bust; Clair Brooks and wife; Mildred (Wotring) Ford and husband Henry; Maurice Teeple and wife Cora; Wayne Fuller and wife Eliner; Madeline (Garlinger) Gaunt and husband Orville; Twila (Buffington) Elwood; and Helen (Frith) Todd. All except the Fullers at- the Bateman home, several other friends of the class also stopped by to visit, including Elizabeth (Gibson) Lynch; Patricia (McNitt) Spross; and June (Brown) Potter, whose husband, the late Wendell Potter, was a member of the Class of ’26. Fifteen of the original 26 members of the class now are deceased, and the group was shocked and saddened to learn of the latest death - that of Cecile (Roscoe) Thompson and her husband, Clarence. A phone call to the Bateman home the night before the reu­ nion was from a sister-in-law to Cecile, who informed Margaret that the Thompsons had been killed March 4 in an Eight of the 11 surviving members of Nashville's Class of 1926 are seen in this photo, taken at a recent reunion in Nashville. Seated from left are Margaret (Furniss) Bateman, hostess of the event, and Twila (Buffington) Elwood of Middleville. Standing from left are Mildred (Wotring) Ford of Kalamazoo, Wayne Fuller of Toledo, Madeline (Garlinger) Gaunt of Allendale, New Jersey: Helen (Frith) Todd of Vermontville, Wilda (Martens) Bust of Charlotte and Maurice Teeple of Cadillac. Arriving later was Clair Brooks of Grand Rapids. In the evening another former classmate, Bernice (Wenger) Bruce of Battle Creek, joined the group for the alumni banquet. Clair Brooks of Grand Rapids, seen here with his wife, arrived at the Bateman home too late for the group photo. He was vice president of the class of 1926 at the time its president, Louis Hafner, died in a tragic car crash. At the runion the group learned of the death of another classmate, Cecile (Roscoe) Thompson, in a March 86 auto accident. KS (fctimi rwtes &ACKT0 School.

At that dinner Mrs. Gaunt was asked to read a humorous essay she had brought from New Jersey. Entitled “A Dif­ ferent World, But in Many Ways the Best of Times,” the piece by an unknown author spelled out the tremendous differences between ‘ ‘ then ’ ’ and “now” as seen in the eyes of the 1920s-30s era graduates: “We were before pantyhose and drip-dry clothes... before penicillin, credit cards and ballpoint Good Selection from.....................

At the afternoon reunion at auto accident while returning to their Sand Lake home from Grand Rapids. For some reason, news of that tragedy had not reached Nashville. Cecile Roscoe was valedic­ torian of the class and .also secretary-treasurer for the senior year. The first of the class members to pass away was Louis Hafner, who died in an auto accident in the fall of his senior year. He was president ofthe Class of 1926. Clair Brooks, who served as vice president, was among those attending the reunion at the Bateman home.

Carey, 86, and her sister Iva Amspacher, 90, took honors at the party for being the oldest of those in attendance. Carey, a former schoolteacher, and Amspacher, a farmer’s wife, grew up in Vermontville and graduated from Vermontville High School. “It’s always been a big oc­ casion,” Carey says of the party. “It’s really nice that the two churches go together for it. It makes a wonderful feel­ ing between the two.” During the two-hour affair, women heard a devotional speech by Helen Boger, wife of a former Vermontville Bi­ ble Church pastor. Boger spoke on “The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree.” Serving as mistress of ceremonies was Mabel Shetenhelm, president of the United Methodist Women. Martha Zempke gave a welcome from the Congrega­ tional Church women. Martha Kuch of Charlotte entertained on a hammered dulcimer. And Frances MacDonald of the Congregational Church led the singing of two hymns. The program was followed by refreshments and the han­ ding out of bouquets to the oldest women in attendance.

Schantz said local farmers were ready to donate their small and three-quarter ton bales early last week, but transportation became a pro­ blem. After hearing of a Rockford Harold Christiansen, a retired farmer now living in Nashville, has been a member of the Maple Leaf Grange since he was 15 years of age, and helped build the pre­ sent building in the 1940's. In all those years, he said he has never seen the grange do something as rewarding as give their own crops to help others as they are doing now. woman who was coordinating a similar effort, Schantz con­ tacted her seeking help, she said. The woman, Bonnie Silver, then began making phone calls hoping to resolve the problem quickly. “When she called the president of Steelcase and asked for the trucks and he agreed, (Silver) said she was speechless,” Schantz recalled. Schantz had previously in­ vestigated other transportation possibilities such as the Department of Agriculture, A truckl.oad of hay arrives at the Maple Leaf Grange Friday to meet the semi truck headed south.

In ad­ dition, Amway and other area companies with trucks and have joined the effort. “When you think about what they’re doing, it’s really great,” noted Schantz. “This company is letting us use their trucks for nothing and their drivers are donating their time. The truckers carrying the Barry County forage will con­ verge with truckers from other states at a train depot in Indianapolis where the loads will be transferred to railcars and hauled to a site in South Carolina. The train was pro­ vided by the national grange .organization and will make several return trips until all the-pledged hay is delivered. “I’m really pleased we’re going to be on the first load out ofthe Michigan,” Schantz said as she watched the track leave the grange. Beulah Winter of the Michigan State Grange Office noted the Maple Leaf effort is the only one of it’s kind in the state. “I think it’s great that they’re, all pulling together,” she said, “A lot of farmers here are in trouble but the ones in the south have livestock to be fed and it's great to see farmers helping farmers.” “We might be a little ol’ county,” Schantz says, “but The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Tuesday, July 29. 1986 — Page 9 this time we got right in there. It’s wonderful.” Farmers donating hay seem to take the whole project in stride, appearing to harbor the feeling that if they were in a similar crisis, the same kind ofcompassionate effort would take place. “I decided they needed it worse than I did,” noted Ray Hickey of Thomapple Lake Road whose 220 bale donation went with the first load south. “I’ve got a good idea what they’re going through-..! don’t expect anything out of it,” he said. Alco Hago, the trucker employed by Amway Corp, whose rig was filled at the Nashville grange, was bound for Detroit when asked if he would haul a load ofhay to In­ diana. He agreed because it was ‘something different,’ he said. “I feel proud,” he said wat­ ching the locals pitch bales. “It’s amazing to see so many people involved. Everyone gets involved to help someone having trouble.” Meanwhile, in Freeport, neighbors banded together to load two semi trailers with 1,000 bales of hay donated by Don and Sue Drummond. The hay, from this year’s first cutting, was stored in the Drummond bam. Because of early morning rain, soil conditions prevented the trucks from driving close to the bam. Manpower was then needed to load the hay onto wagons and put it into the trucks. Drummonds, who were on vacation, designated John and Joy Bush to gather volunteers; Bushes had summoned a few MAPLE VALLEY ATHLETIC PROGRAM IN JEOPARDY Due to the lack of interest, the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters are seriously con­ sidering cancelling athletics for the 1986-87 school year.

Maple Valley Athletic Boosters Executive Board local farmers, but after the rain began early in the morn­ ing, they realized the trucks wouldn’t be able to drive through the saturated soil so they would need more laborers to load and unload the wagons. At 7 a.tn., they started con­ tacting additional help, in­ cluding several teen-agers, and by 8 a.m., the bales were in motion. “The response was great,” said Joy Bush. “Time (which the farmers gave up) is a lot to donate. I was watching the whole thing and the one truck driver who brought his own truck (Ken Spencer, owner of Colonial Packaging in Grand Rapids) was standing next to me and I could see tears in his eyes as he watched everybody working.” “The boys really seemed to be having fun. They were sort of in competition with each other to see who could throw the most- bales. It was fun to11 watch,” added Bush. “They’d do the same for us,” said young Rick Reigler when asked how he felt about11 the hay donation. Some of the local farmers11 who have already donated hay include: Raymond Hickey off Nashville, Dick Dean off Hastings, Bob Reigle ofBattle Creek and Mike Javor off Nashville, Schantz said.

July 29. 1986 — Page 12 Maple Valley Athletic Boosters facing budaet crisis: may have to cancel sports by Shelly Sulser The Maple Valley School Distict Athletic Boosters, (MVAB) the only area organization that provides 100 percent funding for school sports, will hold a special public meeting August 4 to discuss the future of sports at Maple Valley. “If we don’t get more help to run this program, we’re go­ ing to fold before the football season even gets started,” said boosters secretary Sharon Stewart. Stewart noted the boosters only have about $2,000 total at this point, and with nearly $12,000 needed for fall sports alone, the group finds itself in a desperate situation. In all, close to $50,000 is needed each year to fund Maple Valley athletics. Major costs in operating the program include coaches’ salaries, bus drivers’ pay and the purchase of bus fuel. Other major expenses are the replacement of equipment and officials’ fees. Stewart noted that although some athletic teams hold their own fundraisers for the pur­ pose of purchasing uniforms when needed, the boosters are usually able to help with the cost. Now, she said the boosters are not able to do even that. In addition, more volunteer help is desperately needed to run the bingo program and other fundraisers. “We can’t run the whole program on a handful of old faithfuls,” Stewart noted. Boosters trustee Tom Joostberns noted that some of the same people who began uure of sports at Maple Valley is in jeopardy say the Maple Valley e ec oosers ers..

The boosters have been re­ questing the board of educa­ tion to adopt the pay for play policy, whereby students wan­ ting to participate in Maple Valley athletics would be re­ quired to pay a specified dollar amount. The boosters first proposed the policy in May, at which time the board agreed to table the matter until the June meeting. At the regular board of education meeting held June 9, the board again tabled the matter, referring it to the board’s athletic council com­ mittee consisting of Loren Lehman, Dale Ossenheimer, David Hawkins, and Larry Lenz, chairman. Present at the special meeting last week were Lenz and boosters Tom Joostberns and Sharon Reese to discuss the matter with the board. “We’re at a struggling point again,” Joostberns reported to the board. “We’re in the same situation that the board has been in.” Joostberns said the policy would help some, but “it isn’t going to make that much of a difference because we’re still falling short.” Although the community recently passed a four mill tax increase for the schools, extra curricular programs such as athletics and band would not be supported by the school’s general fund until the 1988-89 school year. Presently, the district pays the initial cost for sports, with the arrangement that the boosters reimburse the school system for the funding, which they do at the end of each season or when they have the money. With the proposed “pay for play” policy instead of the present donation program, some students wishing to par­ ticipate in sports with specific financial need would have to compensated for by possibly imposing some type of finan­ cial aid from a source other than the boosters. It was suggested at the special board meeting that federal hot lunch program guidelines be used in order to determine those with financial need, but it was pointed out that such information is not public knowledge. “The athletic boosters should not have access to that information,” noted board trustee Dale Ossenheimer. School Superintendent Car­ roll Wolff agreed. “This gets to be a ticklish issue,” he said. “If anyone gets the idea that somebody is not paying to play based on the free and reduced price lunch criteria, there could be some problems because that information is not to be used for anything except lunch.” Reese suggested that those who are determined to be unable to pay the playing fee could obtain a sponsor in the community to cover the cost. But “We have to have some criteria to decide if they qualify or not,” said Lenz. Despite all the discussion, no board action was taken. Although the boosters aren’t sure at this point whether the football team will be able to hold its first prac­ tice scheduled for Aug. 11, they are planning to hold ma­ jor raffle fundraiser. Stewart noted 800 tickets at a cost of $20 each will be sold for a grand prize of a 1987 Chevy Cavalier. A date for the drawing has not yet been determined, but it is thought to be sometime in February. Jeff Wetzel of the Maple Valley Beefers. Exercise your right! VOTE for Orvin H.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 115 -No. 5 — Tuesday, August 5, 1986 Woodland man injured in Castleton Township shooting last Friday by Shelly Sulser A 32-year-old Woodland man was shot Friday by Michigan State Police Troopers after he attempted to chase them down with a farm tractor on Moore Road, south of Coats Grove Road in Castleton Township, authorities said. According to reports, two troopers from the Ionia post and one from the Hastings post had apparently been look­ ing for the man to arrest him on two misdemeanor warrants for malicious destruction of property and assault. After reportedly looking for the Woodland man in Lake Odessa, they found him rak­ ing hay with the tractor on a farm about four miles north of Nashville at-about 4:30 p.m. After the troopers walked into the field and identified themselves, the man chased them with the tractor in an ap­ parent attempt to run them over, authorities said. In order to stop his attempt to run the troopers down, the man was shot once in the right shoulder by one of the troopers from the Ionia post, indicated Commander of the Michigan State Police Hastings Team Lieutanant Richard Zimmerman. The man was transported to Pennock Hospital by the Castleton-Maple Grove Nashville Ambulance, and was later transferred to Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo by helicopter. He is listed in fair condition. The Barry County Pro­ secutor’s office has filed felony charges against the man for resisting and obstruc­ ting and for intent to do great bodily harm. His name will not be released until he is arraigned. Two troopers from the Michigan State Police Ionia post stand before one of their units that was damaged by the perpetrator on the tractor who also tried to run them down.(Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) Costs for Opera House estimated at $47,307.98 Costs to repair the Ver­ montville Opera House have been estimated at $47,307.98 by the Opera House Restora­ tion Committee. Vermontville Township' hopes the tab for the restora­ tion work will be one that tax­ payers will pick up by approv­ ing millage in November. The Vermontville township board in June adopted a resolution to place a proposal for a one-mill tax increase for four years on the November general election ballot in order to cover the costs. “Every year prices go up and up so if we took today’s prices for later on purchases, it would be way out ofpropor­ tion,” Chairperson Pat O’Dell said about the cost estimates. She noted that one of three major structural repairs has been finished. “The roof has been com­ pleted, thanks to an early donation,” she said. “This wasr needed badly because the library is housed under the main floor ofthe Opera House and we don’t want to lose the library.” In addition, O’Dell said the electrical wiring in the building must be repaired to meet standards and a handicap lift is also needed. Other needed repairs include: Kitchen completion — $1,200; two complete han­ dicap bathrooms — $6,100; plastering and painting — $800; complete wiring for the kitchen, stage lights, ceiling lights and fans — $6,749. New front doors — $2,100; Incasement for the handicap lift — $500; lift — $20,000; flooring $500; banquet tables and chairs — $750; fire escape door — $200; stair railings — $125; metal grids for all windows — $200; Window blankets or ther­ mopayne windows ($300 each) $3,000; Window repair — 200; Drapes for the stage and windows — $5,000; furnace upkeep and gas bills, ($50 per mo.) — $600 per year; Maintenance person — $25 per occasion; cleaning supplies — $175 per year. Voters will not only face the millage question in November but will also be asked to ap­ prove exceeding the 15 mill limit. O’Dell noted that aside from the millage proposal, the committee will hold various fund raising projects for the Opera House restoration. The following is a poem written by O’Dell about the historic Opera House: “There she stands.. .big and tall...old and cold. ‘‘Memories of the past...rustling of the skirts, voices of the brave. Sounds echo down...music with the tapping of a foot. “She has old friends, but she would like new, “To fire her with laughter instead of the blues. “She knows it’s going to cost a lot because those of the past have forgot. “Now, you have a chance to renew your friendship, true and blue. “Cast your vote to help restore and open the door for memories all anew.” Vermontville Village Garage The Congregational Church will hold a two day bake sale as a part of it's participation in the Vermontville Chamber of Commcerce community yard sales being held Saturday only, beginning at 8:30 a.m. (Maple Valley News file photo) The Vermontville Chamber of Commerce will sponsor its third village-wide yard sales Saturday, Aug. 9 beginning at 8:30 a.m. with 24 local residents participating. Although the chamber held the sales for two days last year, it was decided to return to a one day schedule for this year. The chamber thought possible buyers would be more available on Saturday rather than Friday, explains Chamber President Pat O’Dell. However, the Con­ gregational Church will hold a two day bake sale beginning Friday. O’Dell noted the purpose of the entire event is “to bring people into Vermontville.” She also noted 'the fire department is holding a Satur­ day night following the yard sales. Repairs for the Vermontville Opera House, a State of Michigan historic site, will cost close to $47,307 the restoration committee has announced. Stereo stolen from car on Nashville auto lot An AM/FM car stereo worth nearly $200 was stolen from a vehicle on the lot of Clayton’s Auto Sales late last Tuesday. Acting Nashville Police Chief Gene Koetje said the larceny happened sometime Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, and that the car was unlocked when the incident occured. Koetje said about $200 damage was also done to the ignition of the 1979 Camaro, and lot owner Clayton Boles said there was other damage to the interior. Boles said the incident follows an April occurance when a car was stolen from his lot, along with a dealer plate, some keys and some change that was taken from the office after closing. The 1979 Cutlass was later recovered in a gravel pit in Lake Odessa by the owner of the pit, Boles said. He said it had apparently been abandon­ ed there for at least three days. There are no suspects in either case. �The Maple Volley New* Tuesday Nashville August 5 1986 - Page 2 Show garden vegetables at Harvest Contest, Aug. 1 i • * 4-H Council is open to all interested persons and is design­ ed to increase interest in gardening by rewarding top gardners with prizes donated by area merchants.

August 5, 1986 — Page 3 Eight grade students to be granted High School credit for Algebra anp$ !*< s« iSadn u • i'ipi 3" “ by(, fflWPaWjdtlk ttp nfSJ* m 11 lit is ire ■al WHU* BINGO wiMmiM -OWB- wilbiu npri, mi OomOpM lip The Maple Valley Board of Education agreed recently to grant high school credit to eighth grade students who successfully complete an algebra course during the 1986-87 school year. The board had originally been asked by school ad­ ministrator Larry Lenz to adopt a policy to the same ef­ fect, but the board decided to agree to the credit by board action only. This action was due to the uncertainty of the number of eighth grade students in the future who would be taking the high school class, it was noted. Teacher Sharlot Sours said there is an exceptional group of students moving into the eighth grade this year who will be taking the class. Enough, she said, to con­ stitute a separate eighth grade algebra class. “This is a very superior group,” she pointed out. “I think it’s worth giving them as much as they can take. I’m looking forward to working with them.” Although it was not deter­ mined how each possible algebra student would qualify for the class, it was suggested they be screened in some way. But Sours also pointed out that in the past, students were merely recommended by their teachers. It was agreed by a unanimous board vote to grant credit to the eighth graders only during the 1986-87 school year, and further con­ sideration will be handled by the new curriculum coordinator. In other business, the board announced that one candidate had been recommended for the job of curriculum coor­ dinator, a new position the board created in the district, but the prospective ad­ ministrator decided not to take the job. The board had made the unidentified man an offer after selecting him from a field of 20 candidates, but he declined stating he did not want to move his family from the east side of the state. Members of the board com­ mittee in charge of interview­ ing will talk with three new candidates this week regar­ ding the position. In other discussion, board member Ron Tobias pointed out to the board some discrepencies between the way board business is con­ ducted and the way policy states it should be handled. He commented that some members of the board have been known to approach district employees asking them to perform certain duties without first consulting the superintendent. “At no time should members of the board be go­ ing to other employees and telling them what to do,” he said. Although he did not state any particular incidents, he did say that “The president represents the board as a whole and, he is represented through the superintendent.” Tobias also questioned the legality of outsiders, such as Citizen Committee Co­ Chairman Susie Butler and Chris McGregor of the Charlotte Schools and others that are not members of the board being involved in the screening process when seek­ ing new district employees. “The policy says that peo­ ple are to be interviewed and hired by the board,” he said. “Every year we seem to vary from what we got so either change the policy or follow it.” Board President David Hawkins noted that the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) recommends including residents of the community in the interviewing process. Tobias argued, “but that’s not a part of our policy.” For now, Tobias told the board to “go ahead and do what you’re doing but in the future, change it or follow it.” Board trustee Loren Lehman stated that Superintendent Carroll Wolff must have known policy was not being followed when the outsiders were being included in the interviewing ofthe new elementary school principal and the curriculum coor­ dinator, but he failed to point it out. Wolff did not comment. Hawkins again pointed out HOME that the reason outsiders were included was because the MASB suggested it would be helpful when hiring. “I’m just saying get it straightened out sometime. You’ve got a policy book — keep it in mind before we get in trouble,” Tobias said. As a result of the discus­ sion, the board voted to sus­ pend the current policies deal­ ing with the selection of school administrators until a new policy has been establish­ ed, but no later than June 30, 1987.

The Church, located on the northeast corner of the Washington and Phillips streets intersection, was suf­ fering again from growing pains. Over a 70-year span the I886 structure was lo be stret­ ched outward, upward, rear­ ward and forward in three ma­ jor renovation projects. Formed in the winter of 1885-86 as an Evangelical Class after a series of bi­ monthly Sunday afternoon sermons by Woodland’s Evangelical circuit minister Rev. W.A. Hoehler, a small congregation of 29 charter members soon arranged for contraction of the original 1,260 sq. ft. church on the Phillips Street site. The first alteration to the building came some dozen years later. “Major improvements to the Evangelical Church have been completed,” advised The Nashville News in early December 1899. “Among other things, new front steps have been built, several gasoline lamps have been in­ stalled inside, the interior papered, and a furnace install­ ed in the basement.” The tiny church was keep­ ing pace with growth of the community which that same year had seen construction of a new iron bridge across the Thomapple River on North Main and erection of a steel fire alarm tower on Maple Street. Installation of gas lamps in the church improved illumina­ tion, and kept in step with the times. “The new gasoline lights have become very popular here," observed The News in November, 1899, “and how there is scarcely a business place in town that is not lighted either by gasoline or acetylene lights.” Four years later the Evangelical Church gained its first appendage. Construction started in June, 1903, added a new wing and entrance tower to the building’s north side. “The new Evangelical Church was formally dedicated Sunday,’’ The News informed readers early in November, 1903. “The first church was built on the site of the present edifice, which now boasts a new wing, in addition to complete new interior decorations. ’ ’ At about that same time there was formed at the Evangelical Church a young girls’ Sunday School group called the Cloverleaf Class. Over the years that class evolved into an adult-age ladies' study and service organization up to present-day times. Even a 1946 consolidation with the United Brethern Church and a subsequent 1968 merger with the Methodists to form the United Methodist Church did not affect the Cloverleaf Class. With the merger the ladies requested and received permission to re­ tain the original title of the organization. While the Cloverleaf Class remained constant over the years, the Evangelical Church changed not only name but shape. When Frank Russell noted in 1926 that the church was “all raised up,” the building Rev. Clyde C. Gibson, seen here circa-1910 with his horse ’’Kelly" at Putnam Park, served the local Evangelical congregation at the beginning and the end of his 50-year ministry. In the early days he made Sunday afternoon circuit trips by horse and buggy to deliver weekly sermons at the North Castleton Evangelical Church, northwest of Nashville, and there met his future bride. This photo was taken some time after 1926, the year the Evangelical Church building was raised to add a basement that housed facilities including a kitchen, lavatories and a furnace room. The Cloverleaf Class was formed shortly after the turn of the century at Nashville's Evangelical Church as a young girls' Sunday School class, and withstanding two changes of church name and affiliation, grew into adulthood with several charter members. Seen in this early class are, seated from left: Zadia Keyes, Carrie Appelman, teacher Elsie Titmarsh, Leah Walrath, Mildred Purchis. Standing from left: Mabie Wilcox, Pauline Kunz, Olive Walker, Stella Smith, May Rothaar, and Cecile Zuschnitt. In 1957 Rev. Gibson, recently retired, spearheaded a major renovation project at the United Evangelical Church (in 1946 the Evengelicals merged with the United Brethrens). This early 1960s photo shows some of the changes. In 1968, the congregation merged with the Methodists and moved into their church. The Evangelical building now houses the Nashville Baptists, who have greatly expanded the facility. forward. A back addition extended both the basement and main floor levels to provide an education unit below and a recessed chancel above. Up front, an expanded entryway dramatically changed the facade of the early structure. Spearheading the 1957 remodeling project was Rev. Clyde C. Gibson, who had recently retired from 50 years service in the ministry. He had begun his career here in 1909, first living in a rented room above the drug store on Main Street. In those early days Rev. Gibson made a regular Sunday afternoon cir­ cuit trip by horse and buggy to deliver a weekly sermon at the North Castleton Evangelical Church on East State Road. It was there that he met his future wife, Miss Ruth Feighner, who lived in the area of the rural church located northwest of Nashville. Later, Rev. Gibson was transferred to the Detroit area and served many years there before returning to Nashville in 1955 to conclude his ministerial career by again serving the local congregation. Although the size and shape ofthe old Evangelical Church has changed over the years, Rev. Gibson, who passed was undergoing extensive renovation to add a basement with facilities including a kit­ chen, lavatories and a furnace room. Thirty years later another major renovation was under­ way at the United Evangelical Church. The edifice was growing rearward and The shape of Nashville's Evangelical Church changed dramatically over a 70-year span. The original portion of the structure on Phillips Street (the section at right in this circa-1910 photo) was built in 1886. The wing at left and the entry tower were added in 1903. away in 1978, and the Cloverleaf Class, represent constants in the history of the congregation. After the merger in 1968 with the local Methodists, the old Evangelical Church became the home of the Nashville Baptists, who have extensively enlarged the church with the addition of a large sanctuary on the north side of the building. Sunday School rooms and other facilities are incorporated in the century-old “core” church and its subsequent additions.

It H s rd moved into Ikeir dm ears Aihwgrafts Statistics tell us that 3 million Americans are unable to read or write, and an estimated 50 million Americans meet significant obstacles in their daily lives because of poor reading abili­ ty. An estimated 25 million jobholders have reading pro­ blems that are serious enough to impede their job perfor­ mance and/or their advance­ ment on the job. The number of people in Michigan who have serious difficulty with reading and writing is estimated at 800,000. Much has been said in the media about this, and agencies and community groups in Michigan are now working together to help the people who would like to improve their reading skills. A great deal is being done in our state. People are volunteering as tutors, and training workshops are being held for the tutors. People who want help with their reading are calling in for that help. The local libraries in Nashville and Vermontville, and Maple Valley Community Education are working together in this area. They are asking for people to volunteer to work with adults who would like to have help in the area of reading. Training ses­ sions will be offered for those who would like to volunteer to be tutors. Call the numbers listed below, ifyou would like to help someone learn to read. It is not known how many adults in the Maple Valley area would like to have help with their reading skills, but if you know an adult who would like to learn to read or im­ prove in their reading, they may call the PutnSm Library at 852-9723, the Vermontville library at 726-1362, or Kay at the Community Education Of­ fice at 852-9275.

The Board of Education has the complete authority to establish that 29.01 mills be levied in 1986 from within its present authorized millage rate. The maximum additional proposed millage rate would increase revenues for operating purposes from ad valorem property tax levies in 1986 otherwise permitted by Act 5, Public Acts of Michigan, 1982 by sixteen percent (16%). The Board of Education levied 29.01 mills this past school year for operation of the school district. The state equalized valuation of the school district for the 1986-87 school year is $60,173,404.00 compared with 1985-86 state equalized valuation of $60,517,887.00. The State Aid Membership Act is written in such a way that when the local state equalized values increases and the taxpayer pays more in taxes the state reduces the amount of revenue that they pay to the local school district. This results in the local community member paying a greater proportion of the financial support of the schools and the state reducing their contribution to the local school support. The purpose of the hearing is to receive testimony and discuss the levy of an additional millage rate. Not less than seven (7) days following the public hearing, the Board of Education may approve all or any portion of the additional millage rate. This notice is given by order of the Board of Education.

The teacher for Saturday’s class was Madelyn Forest, who taught the young students how to make hats, baskets and party favors out of wallpaper and newspaper. “It was fun and we liked it,” noted student Jennifer Ryan. “They’re cute really, when they’re done,” said Madelyn. Other teachers for this month will be Mary Fisher, Hildred Peabody, Elizabeth King, and Paula Cole.

Monday thru Saturday Maple Valley Community Education Plans Survey Your Community Education Department will be conducting a door-to-door survey throughout the Maple Valley School District during July and August in Nashville and Vermontville. We will be asking your opinion as to how we can be more responsive to community needs. The persons calling on you will use a short questionnaire to gather your comments and will carry official school authorization for identification when they come to your door. We have found that community needs eventually involve education in one way or another, and hope that you will take this opportunity to share your hopes, dreams, and desires for new or improved programs that we may bring to the community. Our goal will be to use the information collected from you to make available offerings and opportunities which represent community interests, and results of the survey will be made available through the media, or by requests from the community education department at the following address: 11090 Nashville Hwy., Vermontville Ml 49096. Telephone: (517) 852-9275. All information provided will be held in strict confidence, and all results will be tabulated statistically as group data before being released to the media. No opinions shall be in any way attributed to the individual making such statements, nor will our surveys be made available to any other person or organization. We are looking forward to visiting with you. _____ Kay Hartzler Community Education Coordinator �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, August 5, 1986 — Page 9 More Eaton County More judging continued throughout the week at the 1986 Eaton County 4-H Fair with the following local youth exhibitors receiving special awards: Goat Winners - Reserve Champion Dairy Goat, Clint Savage, Gresham Grain Grinders.

Dear editor: For the last several years the Eaton County jail in Charlotte has been forced to take prisoners beyond its capacity. In April of 1985 the Eaton County Board of Commis­ sioners appointed a citizens’ committee to study the jail situation and recommend what course of action should be taken by the Board. This committee, composed of people from all over Eaton County, recommended building a new jail as soon as possible, because increasing population in the county will make the jail overcrowding even worse as time goes on. In addition, the present jail is currently operating under deviations to the state and federal regulations, by authority of the Michigan State Department of Corrections.

Senate Bill 705 allots $1.39 billion for the state’s fouryear colleges, and includes funds for faculty salaries and tuition stabilization at Michigan State University, University of Michigan and Wayne State University. In an effort to make higher education more accessible for more people, colleges and universities were faced with the possible loss of state fun­ ding unless they limited tui­ tion increases to the inflation rate of 4.3 percent. Legislators also demanded they hold the line on fee in­ creases in other areas. Also recently signed was a bill (SB 143) to provide $186.7 million to finance the state’s 29 two-year junior and community colleges. The higher education budget in­ cludes a $2.6 million scholar­ ship fund for disadvantaged and minority students in the names of Rosa Parks and the late Dr. Martin Luther-King. Specific general fund allocations for the next fiscal year are as follows: Central Michigan University, $45.2 million; Eastern Michigan University $52.3 million; Fer­ ris State College, $33.3 million; Grand Valley State College, $20.3 million; Lake Superior State College, $8.6 million; Michigan State University, $32 million; Oakland University, $29.9 million; Saginaw Valley State College, $12.2 million; University of Michigan—Ann Arbor campus, $225.3 million; U-Michigan— Dearborn campus, $14.5 million; U-M—Flint campus, $12.9 million; Wayne State University, $152.5 million; and Western Michigan University, $69.3 million. This year’s higher educa­ tion budget combines com­ mon sense spending with strong incentives to keep tui­ tion rates in the state’s col­ leges and universities affordabe. The Legislature must con­ tinue to take the lead on issues that affect the educational op­ portunities of Michigan citizens. We cannot sacrifice quality in our colleges and universities. At the same time, individuals must not be forced to abandon the edea of fur­ thering their educations because of high costs. Available To Ease Damage From Shoreline Erosion Michigan residents who would like to apply for assistance under programs aimed at easing damage from shoreline erosion and flooding should susbmit their applica­ tions no later than August 15. The August 15 deadline covers three programs. The first two will provide low- I would appreciate your Vo te in the August 5th Primary — for — Castleton Township Clerk Junia Jarvie REPUBLICAN Paid for by the committee to elect Juania Jarvie: 1954 Price Rd., Nashville, Ml 49073 interest home moving or home elevation loans to those pro­ perty owners who have been hard hit by record lake levels that pose serious threats to shoreline dwellings. A third project, the Shoreline Protection Grant Program, will be funded from dollars not spent on the first two. State officials are urging homeowners to comlete their applications so that assistance will come before the fall and winter storm seasons. With lake levels already above nor­ mal, property owners and state officials must work quickly and efficiently to off­ set further damage. The home moving and home elevation plans are available to those individuals whose residences are in immi­ nent danger of destruction. The three percent loans will be awarded to homes in any Great Lakes shoreline com­ munity that are not par­ ticipating in the Army Corps of Engineers’ Advanced Measures program. Persons interested in applying may phone 517-373-1950 or write the Lansing office of the Department of Natural Resources. Program inspectors will consider the proximity of the home to the edge ofthe active erosion, slope of the bluff, height of the bluff, composi­ tion of the bluff material and the presence, condition and effectiveness of existing shore protection structures. Assistance to communities will come through a third pro­ gram designed to promote prevention projects, such as dike or riprap construction. The maximum amount of the state grants is $10,000. Any city, township or village on the Great Lakes is eligible. Community officials may con­ tact their county or local emergency management coor­ dinator for application instructions. the pockets of organized crime figures who sell and distribute the drugs. Organiz­ ed crime figures are handled in many ways, including the help of prison guards, civilian employees, inmates and administrators. Controversy has stemmed over the amount of drug traf­ ficking occurring in the state’s prison system. Republican members of the Senate have said the narcotics operation is immense and that little is be­ ing done to combat it. At the same time, the director of the Department of Corrections has said media reports of the problem are exaggerated and inaccurate. The director ofthe Michigan Corrections Organization agrees with this analysis. It is not news that drug smuggling has presented pro­ blems for large prison systems for a long time. It is alarming, however, when several hun­ dred confidential surveys con­ ducted of prison inmates and employees show the problem is not limited to a handful of individuals. Marijuana, cocaine and heroin are being smuggled in­ to the state’s prisons, in laun­ dry bags, books, sandwiches and body cavities, according to the surveys. Michigan is currently steeped in the middle of a costly expansion of its prison system. For the last several years the citizens of this state have been deluged with ac­ counts of critical over­ crowding problems. We have committed large amounts of taxpayer dollars to correct the situation. The credibility of the entire state prison system is on the line with reports of rampant drug trafficking flooding the news media. The Legislature must help state officials to come down hard on the narcotics operations within the system before every shred oftrust and effectiveness in the operations of the prison is lost. Drug Trafficking in Michigan Prisons Warrants Legislature’s Attention Bill Targets Prevention of Health Risks Recent news reports of widespread drug trafficking in Michigan prisons have pro­ duced a number of calls for an outside investigation of this problem. This situation could realistically threaten the entire state corrections system. Smuggling and trafficking of illegal drugs is a lucrative business that is, according to an FBI investigation, lining Health risks that cause about 50 percent of the deaths and loss of productive life years of Michigan would be targeted under Senate Bill 4, known as Vitality Investment in Michigan. The bill, passed by the Senate last fall, is being considered by the House Public Health Committee. It is currently awaiting a funding source — likely to be derived by plugging a loophole in the cigarette tax to include smokeless tobacco and cigars. Smoking, alcohol consump­ tion, high blood pressure, lack of exercise, poor nutrition, obesity and failure to use seat belts are health risks targeted by this piece of legislation. The bill would create the Center for Risk Reduction as a unit within the Department of Public Health. The Center would be responsible for the following: —collecting and analyzing data in order to assess the prevalence of major factors which are a risk to physical or mental health. —sponsoring an extended media campaign and special research and demonstration projects for health risk education. —serving as a clearinghouse for health risk information. —identifying strategies for expanding health risk reduc­ tion initiatives in insurance, the worksite and legislation. The health risk prevention program is a positive step toward establishing a state commitment- to preventative health care. Particular atten­ tion is being paid to the workplace, where payoffs will have a number of practical results. For example, smokers have 25 percent higher health care costs and 114 percent longer hospital stays than non­ smokers. People who do not exercise have 36 percent higher health care costs and 54 percent longer hospital stays than those who exercise regularly. In addition, to reduced health care costs and possible lower insurance rates, employers and employees could benefit from lower absenteeism, increased productivity and greater job satisfaction. Vitality Investment in Michigan represents smart planning on the part of this Legislature and deserves the support of myself and my colleagues.

Vol. 115 - No. 6 — Tuesday. August 12. 1986 Sports will continue at Maple Valley, Boosters say by Shelly Sulser Nearly 40 people attended the special boosters meeting held in the high school cafeteria. Vermontville Council to consider Home Improvement Grant The Maple Valley Athletic Boosters (MVAB) announced Monday that the fall sports season will proceed as plann­ ed despite earlier claims that limited funds could halt district athletics entirely. “From this point we’re go­ ing to try to continue with sports, ” MVAB President Ken Todd said. The boosters had announc­ ed two weeks ago that they were low on funds and that a lack ofvolunteers complicated efforts to preserve the program. “We’re $17,000 in the hole for fall sports and for what was allocated for spring (1986) sports,” Todd said. The boosters were able to generate more support for the program after an August 4 special boosters meeting held for that purpose. “We’re pleased we got more volunteers...but we still need a lot more involve­ ment,” Todd said. “We need more input at the boosters meetings.” The volunteer organization was formed nearly six years ago in an effort to salvage the Maple Valley sports program after the school board decided to cut extra curricular ac­ tivities due to a budget crunch. As a result, Maple Valley has become the only school in the area whose athletics are supported 100 percent by its boosters. “No tax money goes toward sports at Maple Valley,” Todd said. Boosters Trustee Tom Joostberns noted it costs them nearly $50,000 annually to Maple Valley Athletic Boosters President Ken Todd speaks at the special boosters meeting August 4. keep athletics alive at Maple Valley. Income, he said, is generated through various fundraisers including bingo games held weekly at the high school. Other revenue is gain­ ed through player donations and gate receipts. In the 1985-86 school year, the boosters were able to raise about $17,759 from gate receipts alone, while bingo earned the organization $10,683 and player donations $9,000 for a total of $37,452 generated for sports last year, said treasurer Bessy Smith. However, expenses reached over $43,000 in 1985-86, she said, pointing out that fall ex­ penses were $11,913.11, winter costs were $10,466.20, spring expenditures topped $6,380 and $14,597.50 was budgeted for equipment costs. The deficit for the year was ATHLETICS, cont. page 2 Maple Valley Schools open Aug. 26 Maple Valley School Report By Supt. Carroll J. Wolff Lake Odessa Housing Coordinator Cheryl Storey (center) speaks to members of the Vermontville council concerning a home improvemet program. At left is Council Trustee Rod Harmon and at right is Trustee Bill Bailey. by Shelly Sulser Vermontville residents needing home improvements could get a financial break in the future ifthe village council decides to participate in a Small Cities Community Developmental Block Grant program. Lake Odessa Housing Coor­ dinator Cheryl Storey told the village council Thursday, that nine surrounding governmen­ tal units presently benefit from the state home improve­ ment funds secured through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority and administered through Lake Odessa. Storey, who was present at the request of the council, suggested the best way for the Vermontville area to secure funds for such a program would be to combine with Vermontville Township, Nashville and Castleton Township in order to gain favor with the state when grant money is distributed. “Right now, your distress factor is 20 (average homes needing improvement),” Storey explained. “And the greater the distress factor, the better the state looks at you,” when distributing grant money. She said if all four units combined, the stress fac­ tor could reach 30 which would provide them with a better chance of being ac­ cepted for the grant. “It’s very competitive. We really have to fight for it (in Lake Odessa),” Storey said, adding that only about 50 small cities per year are fund­ ed out of nearly 125 that apply. If the four decide to apply for the grant, Storey said they could administer it themselves, they could hire someone else to do it, or Storey said, she would ad­ minister the program for $2,000 per year from each governmental unit for a total of $8,000. Although the village itself could be included with the Lake Odessa program, Storey did not recommend that because the grant money would be “spread thin”.

Mi- the past, deficits have been made up through fundraisers held by the athletic teams during their seasons. “Whether it’s candle sales or T-shirt sales or whatever.. .that’s usually where we count on making up our difference,” Smith said. Transportation expenses and coaches salaries are in­ itially paid by the school board, but the boosters reim­ burse the district for the cost. Smith added that since 1983, several unexpected ex­ penses have hurt the boosters budget, including uniforms for all sports which cost $10,644.95, a pole vault pit was $3,282.89, track hurdles took another $1,558, and a football scoreboard was pric­ ed at $4,417.30. “I don’t know what the answer is but we’ve just got four mills to get our academic program back into shape,” said Joostbems, “there was no money allowed for the athletic program at the present time." However, the board has made plans to partially fund sports with the added tax revenue beginning in the 1988-89 school year. ‘‘We’ve got to do something today, we’ve got tp hang onto it,” said Joostbems. “Two to three years we can’t wait...” The boosters explained they didn’t approach the school board for extra millage for athletics at the time the four mills was requested because “we were so anxious to get it back on for academic pur­ poses, we were afraid if we tacked on athletics that maybe it wouldn’t go,” Smith said. She added that maybe the boosters should have re­ quested the millage anyway “...but there are so few of us that we have so little input.” Booster Gloria Andrews agreed more volunteer par-' ticipation is vital to the future of the program. “We have meetings once a month and we have the same five or six come every mon­ th... we’re getting to the point where we’re getting exhausted from all this,” shdsaid. Joostbems said some revenue was lost st school year because volu ers to run fundraisers were lacking. One money maker that did not operate this year was the syrup festival dunk tank. “...it was a golden oppor­ tunity to pick up $2-3,000,” said Joostbems, “but there were five or six of us and I said ‘I’m not gonna do it’.” Some present at the meeting claimed the boosters have not spent enough time calling peo­ ple to help with various projects. But Joostbern said that as bingo chairman, many hours are spent on the telephone in an effort to recruit bingo workers. “When you start criticizing what we have done, that hurts,” he said. In an effort to keep athletics functioning, the boosters have How can you get help fast when your car is smashed? requested that the board of education adopt a mandatory pay to play policy for all athletes wishing to particapte in Maple Valley sports. Presently, there is a dona­ tion program where each team must have 75 percent of its players contribute a specified dollar amount. With pay to play, all players would be required to pay in order to be named a team member. Although the boosters first made the request in May of 1986, the board did not vote on the matter, saying they first wanted to obtain a copy of the state attorney general’s ruling making pay to play policies legal. Joostbems had a copy ofthe report that reads: “Fees for participation in interscholastic athletic activities are legally possible ifthe athletics are ex­ tra curricular in nature, students are not required to participate, no grade or credit is given for participation and the fees can be waived for those students who wish to participate but can’t afford the fees.” The Maple Valley Board of Education held its regular meeting last night where they were expected to vote on the proposed pay to play policy. The result of that vpte was not available at press time. “We just do what we think is best for the kids and we No problem. Count on the “no problem” people at Auto-Owners Insurance. They pride themselves on fast, fair claims service based on their strong common sense approach to settlements. Just ask your Auto-Owners agent about his “no problem” claims service or better yet, ask someone who’s had a claim handled by Auto-Owners! want to save the program,” Joostbems commented. Another money making at­ tempt will kick-off September 20 when raffle tickets go on sale for a grand prize of a 1986 Chevrolet Cavalier. The boosters will sell 800 tickets at $20 each, with the drawing to be held on Valentine’s Day in February. “We’re hoping to raise around $9,000 ifwe sell allthe tickets,” Todd said. He said the boosters have to sell at least 400 tickets to pay for the car. In addition, the boosters plan to hold two special Sunday afternoon bingos in the near future. Boosters Treasurer Bessy Smith shows a list of ex­ penses from past school years. they first became funded in 1981. “If you’re at all interested, it would be wise to think about getting jointly with the two townships and the villages,” Storey suggested. “There is just not enough money to divide the pie exactly.” Storey told the council that the time to apply for the two year grant would be in May of 1987. She said that they decide to apply, they should contact her by February. Storey had previously spoken with members of the Vermontville Township board who expressed interest in the program. GRANT from front page from the program by procuring low interest loans to refur­ bish their homes or even outright grants depending on financial need. The maximum a resident could be loaned would be $15,000 and the homeowner could be permitted to do the work rather than a contractor, as is done in most cases. The maximum outright grant, one that does not have to be repaid, is $9,000. Because there was a ques­ tion as to whether the program would be used by local residents if the unit does receive the grants Storey said “I can guarantee you will do homes.” Storey said that 79 homes have been refurbished in the Lake Odessa area through the Community Home Improvement Program (CHIP) since Jobs Wanted HANDYMAN WORK WANTED: Carpentry repairs, plumbing repairs, painting, yard work, roofing. 830 Gregg St., Nashville 852-9537 evenings precision)^ ^Auto-Owners Insurance - It’s candle dipping for area kids this Sat in Vermontville Life Home Car Business Tk£No Proton Trumble Agency 517-726-0580 178 S.

A dinner very much appropriate for the day which included a graduating cake decorated in the class colors. After the dinner letters were read of resumes of the past and letters from those unable to attend as well as pictures that had been sent with the let­ ters. Prayers were given for the seven deceased classmates and teachers. The deceased classmates in­ cluded: Ashley Frith, Paul LaFluer, Jr. Dickinson, Robert Case, Burlin Marshall, Wilbur Baker, Wendell Lord. There were two classmates we were unable to get ad­ dresses for: Mildred Collins (married name unknown) and Isabel (Lenik) Morrison.

Tuesday August 12. 1986 — Poge 4 llllHIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIinillllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIin 1928 article by Nashville grad pokes fun at vacations The following article ap­ peared in The Nashville News on August 9, 1928. It was written by the late Clyde W. Francis, a local boy, graduate of Nashville’s Class of 1888, who went on to become an early publisher of the Lake Odessa Wave. At the time he wrote this piece Francis was in his late 50s and was involved in newspaper work at Cleveland, Ohio. This is one of a series of reminiscing stories he -wrote in that era for publication in The News. Yes, the “annual vacation” craze is at its zenith; the period of relaxation and the relinquishing of home com­ forts is at flood tide. Who started this fad anyway? Fol ks generally took a week off sometime during the year, but never stressed it as their annual vacation. There was no general exodus in small towns during the hectic summer months. Schools didn’t close until the first of July, and, by the time the Fourth was over, everybody stayed at home to enjoy new potatoes and green peas from their own garden. Then berry-canning and jelly­ making kept the womenfolk busy until peaches, pears and plums claimed their attention. But with the advent of the can-opener and resort literature, hay fever and ex­ cursion rates, more and more people complained that the at­ mosphere in the old home town was getting decidely stuffy. A day off at Thornap­ ple Lake had become kickless; a ride through the pond lilies Alfred Buxton was a successful Nashville machinist, inventor and firearms manufacturer, but would not accept a cent of pay for the unusual sharpening job he did on theFrancis family shears. He was considered one of the best gunsmiths in the country at a time when most firearms were handcrafted. He is seen here with the first gun he ever made in a circa-1860 tintype, about the time he opened his first shop in Nashville. in Cole Bros.’ wood-burning By the late 1920s, claimed Francis, a day off at Thornapple Lake had become ’’kickless" and a ride on Cole Bros.' wood-burning lake steamer had "no more thrills." That's when extended vacations away from the home scene became more appealing. Cole's Lake House hotel is seen in this August 3, 1916 photo. The resort was a popular attraction in that era, and was handily convenient, via the railroad, for local folks. steamer had no more thrills.

In Clyde Francis' youth, there was no general exodus in small towns during the hectic summer months. In that season, folks stayed home to enjoy fresh produce from their own gardens, and womenfolk were too busy canning and preserving the summer bounty to consider vacationing. This circa-1920 photo shows M. L. Munson of Nashville at work in his garden. The pig died without a wiggle. But look at the revenge Reuben took for this ruthless slaughter of his cherished piggie! The very next day Reuben converted the cold re­ mains of the shoat into prime country sausage, and took a large pail of it down to the doctor with his compliments. All winter long as the doc­ tor sat down to his breakfast of buckwheat cakes and sausage, he was constantly reminded of what a horrible poor shot he was. But this in­ cident wasn’t fraught with such dire results as one that happened when John Marshall took a couple of day’s vacation. John had a valuable pedigeed cow grazing in Mrs. Frink’s pasture. In this same field was an ordinary cow that Henry Roe (local meat market proprietor) had bought of Mrs. Frink. The fellow who did the abattoir work for Henry Roe was instructed to go and get the Frink cow and reduce it to terms of breakfast. This animal must have had a hunch that its days were numbered for it jumped the fence, into another pasture. When the butcher called, he found only one cow at home and took it along. Beefsteak was retailing for ten cents a pound, but Henry’s customers were enjoying fifty-cent steak but didn’t know it until Mar­ shall returned and discovered that all that was left of his blooded cow was the hide and tail that went with it. With porterhouse steak sell­ ing for a dollar ten a pound here in Cleveland, it’s about time the beef trust took a vacation. Early local dentist Dr. Adelbert H. Winn was the first person that Clyde Francis heard speak of an "annual vacation , a ritual not widely observed in that era. Winn, who practiced in Nashville in the late 19th cen­ tury, was a pioneer in dentistry techniques including successful tooth transplants as early as the 1880s.

Trustee Joe Ann Nehmer presented a legal opinion from the Michigan Munnipal league concerning expenditures of public funds by municipalities After the July council meeting. Nehmer apparently questioned the council’* vote to donate $50 to the Fire Department for the pu rc hase of mater tai s to be us cd in the elementary school during fire prevention week. The matter it a topic in the Michigan Municipal League Newsletter dated April I. I9H6 and states that. “On many occasions municipalities refuse such requests. However, it appears dear from various court decisions and legal opinions that such donations are illegal expen ditures of public funds."* As a result, trustee Rod Hannon, claimed that if the ATTENTION: MAPLE VALLEY Class Of 1976 Class Reunions sat., Aug. 16 • 7 PM at Maple Leaf Grange Call... 852-9666 or 765-5650 for more Information council decided to refuse the fire department the $50, then the opionion should be follow­ ed in other cases as well, in­ cluding during the Vermont­ ville Maple Syrup festival. “I’d like to know where we draw the line when it comes to using public funds,’’ Harmon said. “If the council doesn't let the fire department have the $50 on the pretense that it is illegal, then it's also illegal for Tony and Monty (village maintenance workers Tony Wawiernia and Monty O’Dell) to work overtime at the Syrup Festival...it's the same thing.” He also noted that a local 4-H club plans to use the fire bam for a dance and that since the fire bam is funded with tax money, it must be a violation of the same law. “If we’re going to go by this ruling in this matter, then it should be applied to other matters too,” said Harmon, a member ofthe fire department and ambulance crew. A second vote on whether to donate the $50 to the fire department ended in a tie vote. Concerning a similar mat­ ter, Nehmer also questioned why the council agreed to pay for an advertisement regar­ ding the recent “Old Timers Maple Valley Adult Education High School Completion and Vocational Classes Classes are FREE to the adult with­ out a high school diploma, and FREE to the high school graduate who is under 20 by 9/1/86.

"We will keep you posted,” Wright said. The council also referred a request to the water and sewer committee from a Sherman Street resident wishing to pay the $600 sewer hook-up fee in monthly installments. nn!^.‘TTTTTTiiTnnTTnnnTnnnTTTnTnTTnnnTTnnTnnTTnTTnn!TT “If you’re going to let one person make payments then you better let everybody make payments,” trustee Lana Oster said. .................................................................................................

The Jr. Farmers Club has been active for 43 years, and is one of the largest clubs in the tri-county area. “Many people think you have to have livestock to be in 4-H which isn’t true,” states JoeAnn Nehmer, parent of two sons who have been members since 1982. “Our club has more nonlivetock entries every year. Areas include needlework, photography, woodworking, cooking, painting, ceramics, basket weaving, candymak­ ing, collections, sewing, knit­ ting, leathercraft, performing talents, clowning, teen leader­ ship, archery, gardening. The list could go on and on. This year the club took 23 top ten awards in non­ livestock projects, in livestock took grand champ awards in rabbits, sheep and fleece with wool from the sheep and chickens. Any organization is as strong as its members, which contributes to the success of the club. 4-H is a family af­ fair, children can start show­ ing at the fair if they are nine years old and continue till they reach 19. Leaders are usually parents of children involved or persons in the community that have a talent and will­ ingness to share. Also the members themselves become Jr. leaders then onto leaders. “When members reach their mid-teens they have the opportunity to be involved in the 4-H exchange with members from other states. Last year members had a Maple Valley Band Families & Friends We invite you to visit us at camp Thursday evening, August 14, from 6:30 pm until 9:00 pm.

We hope to see you there! MAPLE VALLEY BAND BOOSTERS chance to go to Colorado, in return this year they were the host of someone from that state,” explains Lois Siple. Lois and her husband Bob were both in 4-H as children and since their marriage and raising four children of their own, all of whom have been involved for the last 14 years. Their son Mike is the presi­ dent of the Vermonville Jr. Fanners. “Members are able to par­ ticipate in a learn and lead program at M.S.U. each year. Also special awards are given, one of which was the oppor­ tunity to go to Washington D C. And scholarships to M.S.U. are awarded to 4-H members” states Siple. “In Vermontville we are really fortunate to have people who give their time and open their homes for children that want to be involved in 4-H,” said Nehmer. “If the dance is a success it will probably be considered for next year.” Sesquicentennial Pioneer certificates now available The Michigan Genealogical Marlene Thayer, Collection Council and the Library of Development Specialist, Michigan are offering a com­ Library of Michigan, P.O. memorative Sesquicentennial Box 30007, Lansing, MI Pioneer Certificate to eligible 48909, phone 517-373-1593.

In an effort to make higher education more accessible for more people, colleges and universities were faced with the possible loss of state funding unless they limited tuition increases to the inflation rate of 4.3 percent.

GROUP PREDICTS $6 BILLION NEEDED FOR ROAD REPAIRS - The average Michigan driver spends $139 annual­ ly in automobile repairs caused by bad roads. The Michigan Road Builders Association estimates that the state will need to spend $6 billion over the next decade to repair deteriorated roads and bridges. According to a report recently released by the association, about 60 percent, or 25,000 miles, of Michigan’s interstate highways and main roads are worn out and require immediate repair. The group found that 3,300 of Michigan’s bridges are also in ill-repair. FOOD STAMP QUALITY CONTROL IMPROVED - An aggressive effort by the Department of Social Services has resulted in Michigan’s Food Stamp Program having one ofthe best records in controlling mispayments of benefits in the na­ tion. Michigan’s food stamp error rate dropped from 10.4 per­ cent in 1980 to 6.5 percent in 1984, says the U.S. department of Agriculture. When school starts, have the right style for you;..

Nashville High School graduates reunite About 50 members of the classes of Nashville High School. ’30, ’31, ’32, ’33, spouses and friends held their reunion at a potluck dinner Sunday, August 3rd at the Community Building, Putnam Park, and several others came in the afternoon to visit. The class of ’31 held their first reunion (after 40 years since their graduation) in 1971 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed (Edna Brumm) Smith on Brumm Road, where many of their high school parties had been held. They have held a reunion in Putnam Park, once in Methodist Church Com­ munity House and at the Com­ munity Building at Putnam Park the past several years. In 1976 (their 45th) they were in­ cluded with the class of ’30 reunion held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Miscellaneous ANTIQUE MARKET: (The Peoples Choice) Ionia Fair­ grounds (on M-66); Sun., Aug. 17, rain/shine, 8-5pm; 200 inside/outside sellers.

In 1981 (50th) the class of ’31 got together the afternoon of the Alumni Banquet at the Community Building for punch and cookies with 44 former classmates and friends present. This year Mr. and Mrs. Videan (Louise Lentz) Roe, Grayling, contacted their classes of ’32 and ’33 with such gratifying results — Mrs. Ernie (Georgia Bassett) Carter, St. Johns, wrote to all her class of ’30 and Mrs. Patricia (McNitt) Spross, Haslett, and Mrs. Clayton (Marion Snow) Johnson, Charlotte, contacted former classmates and grads of ’31.

My name is David Kenyon. I was a 1973 graduate of Maple Valley High School. Being an athlete, I enjoyed the finest of equipment, uniforms, and coaches. There wasn’t any problems with volunteer coaches, pay to play, or funding the school sports program. It was taken for granted! My question is whats wrong with our com­ munity? Have we lost interest in our young people? Don’t we care about the safety ofour children, as they are forced to use older, less safe equip­ ment? Don’t we care that our young people will be even more bored without sports and lose their desire for their educations? I know that times are tough, but we need to pull together as a community and help our future community leaders to become young men and women! I sat down and did a rough survey of past graduates of MVHS who participated in varsity athletics. I came up with the number of approx­ imately 50 individual athletes per class. Ifjust one half of those could donate $20 per year we could raise over $6,000 each year and that amount would grow each year with each new graduating class. I ask all ofyou past athletes, isn’t $20 a year a small price ot pay for the experiences, fun, learning and growing up you did while in athletics at Maple Valley? Wouldn’t you like to have your sons and daughters be able to feel the same thing you did while par­ ticipating in athletics? I would. I would be proud to help the sports program stay alive and I hope you would to. I hope someone can make use of my idea. I would help myself by unfortunately I’m in the U.S. Air Force and I’m presently stationed at Osan AB South Korea. Lets get on the band wagon and support our young athletes. SSgt. David L.

Being elected to serve as a precinct delegate for both op­ posing political parties has happened before, Barry County Clerk Norval Thayler said, but such an occurrence is unusual. Castleton Township Supervisor Justin Cooley was surprised last week when voters in the August 5 primary election chose him to serve as both a Democratic and Republican precinct delegate. “I thought it was quite amusing,” Cooley said. “I was surprised because I had never even considered runn­ ing as a Democrat.” Cooley said no delegate candidates were listed .on the Republican ticket and he had waged a write-in campaign for the position. Cooley received 20 votes from Republican voters, while Nelson Brumm and Nelson Rasey received one write-in vote each, Cooley said. Thayler said that no one was' running for delegate on the Democratic ticket as well, and he received five write-in votes on the Democratic ballot. Since Cooley plans to attend the Republican county con­ vention as the Castleton delegate, Thayler said the Democrats will probably ap­ point a delegate at their county convention to attend the state Democratic convention. It's time to seed your lawn By Allen P. Krizek County Ext. Director In Michigan, moisture and temperature conditions are most favorable for establish­ ment during late summer. The perferred time to seed is between August 15 and September 15. Gentle fall rains are conductive to tur­ fgrass establishment with minimal weed competition. Turfgrass areas seeded later in the fall may fail if the seedl- Maple Valley Cross Country runners to practice Coach Dan Roscoe is in­ viting all Maple Valley senior and junior high school runners to attend the first practice on August 18.

A dormant seeding after early November is acceptable because low temperatures will prevent germination until the following spring. According to Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, proper seeding means uniform distribution of seed at the recommended rate. It is best to seed when wind activity is minimal because of the light, chaff-like nature of turfgrass seeds. Seed one half of the total amount to be ap­ plied in one direction and the remaining half at a right angle. Use a cyclone or droptype spreader for seeding. After seeding, rake lightly to mix the seed into the top 1/8 1/4 inch of soil. An inverted metal or bamboo leaf rake dragged over the seedbed is excellent for this job. Apply a straw mulch to provide consistent moisture and cool temperatures during the establishment period, and to reduce soil erosion. Oat straw is preferred on fall seedings because volunteer oat seedlings will be killed during the winter.

Agent Planting wheat into heavy soybean residue can reduce yields as much as 29 percent. Scott Abney, USDA pathologist at Purdue University, believes that soybean residue must be distributed evenly or toxic substances released by the decaying residue will hinder seedling emergence and growth. To reduce the effects of the toxicity in no-till fields, Abney suggest that residue should be distributed evenly with a straw spreader or other device after harvest. Under reduced tillage with a chisel plow, residue should be thoroughly disked throughout the soil so the residue will degrade more rapidly. Under conventional tillage, residue should be plowed well below the seedling area to minimize the effect of toxic substances on the next wheat crop. Yield looses may be offset by other benefits that accrue when wheat follows soybeans. They include reduced damage by two serious fungal diseases of wheat eye-spot and Fusarium scab -- and nitrogen left by the soybean residue. Soybean yields under no till have been significantly higher in rotations with soybeans following wheat than in corn­ soybean rotations or in con­ tinuous soybeans. Eaton County 4-Her’s compete in Rabbit Expo Two Eaton County 4-H members will compete in the 1986 State 4-H Rabbit Expo Aug. 14-15 at Michigan State University.

Participants may . also compete in a meat processing competition, a demonstration contest, rabbit cooking and costume classes, and Cavy fit­ ting and showmanship. “The show gives 4-H’ers an opportunity to improve their skills by competing against and observing g others,” says Nancy Thelen, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent. “It’s an excellent op­ portunity for 4-H rabbit pro­ ject members to learn and share their knowledge. Each division winner will receive a trophy. The overall award will be a college or career training scholarship. Participants in a minimum of five categories qualify for the award. The Rabbit Expo is free and open to the public. Activities will begin Aug. 14 at 8:30 a.m. in Demonstration Hall on the MSU campus.

The event is not a money making one for the chamber, but it is just held "to get people in town," she said. Here, Diane Bell looks over some items at the Maureen Orman residence. (Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) Fresh produce a specialty of farm markets Shoppers looking for local­ ly produced, garden-fresh fruits and vegetables are reminded that farm markets are now open. There are several farm markets in Eaton County that grow many of the products they sell, according to Allen Krizek, County Extension Director. Some farm markets specialize in one or two crops only, while other markets have a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and other foods. New farm market shoppers will find it worthwhile to' visit several markets and see which market offers the product mix they wish to buy.

With a unanimous vote, the board approved the second reading required to adopt the policy and gave high school principal Larry Lenz authorization to establish the “pay for play” guidelines. Lenz was also directed to develop a “waiver of pay­ ment” form to be used by students who qualify. The mandatory pay for play policy at the school was first proposed by the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters in May at which time the board tabled the matter until its June meeting. At the regular June 9 board of education meeting, the policy was again tabled and referred to the athletic juniors and seniors—$35. council to consider.

If we put it in before we said we were going to then I just think we’re giv­ ing them (students) a bonus.” Wolff added that concern­ ing the coming school year overall, “It’s been a busy summer and I think you'll see some good changes when we come back.” The physical education teacher will be in charge of classes at the three elementary schools, Wolff said. In other action, the board agreed to offer a two-year contract to Dr. Victor Shug to serve as the new district cur- riculum coordinator. Shug, previously of the Kalamazoo Valley Intermediate School District, will work out of the superintendent’s office coor­ dinating the district kindergarten through grade 12 curriculum. He will also be in charge of coordinating the special education program, the Chapter I and II programs, pulic relations and others. The board agreed to pay Shug $38,000 the first year, with salary for future years not yet established. Contracts for the following new teachers were also approved: Laurie Kipp, fifth grade, Kellogg Elementary — $17,168; Patricia Williams, fifth grade, Kellogg Elemen­ tary — $17,340; Lori Chase, fourth grade, Maplewood Elementary — $14,478; Darlene Guzikowski, fourth­ fifth combination, Maplewood $14,104; Judith Hager, jr.-sr. high counselor — $19,780; Ann Feldpausch, jr.-sr. high mathematics — $14,104; William Rivest, industrial arts, woodshop — $16,467; and Holly Noppert, jr. high physical and life science — $14,104. The board approved transferring Cindy Walker to Kellogg Elementary as secretary. In addition, resignations were accepted from Maplewood Elementary teacher Linda Andres, who was the third-fourth grade combination room instructor and Maplewood Elementary School Principal Bill Christensen. Andres has ac­ cepted a teaching position in the Battle Creek Schools and Christensen will serve as superintendent of the Burt Schools near Lake Superior. Fuller Street Elementary School second grade teacher Becky Stark has also resigned.

(Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) After serving the Maple Valley School District as Maplewood Elementary prin­ cipal for the past 16 years, William Christensen has resigned to ‘ accept an ad­ ministrative position in another school district. Christensen will assume the job of superintendent in the Burt Township Schools located near Grand Marais on Lake Superior early next month. “I’m very excited about it,” Christensen said. Originally from Pentwater, Christensen was a teaching principal at the beginning of his Maple Valley employment in 1970 when he taught school half days. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Western Illinois University and his master’s from Western Michigan University. “I’ve enjoyed the time here,” he said. “We have a fine staff and we’ve had good cooperation from the community.” At Maple Valley, Christensen was instrumental in the general curriculum development of the schools, conducted the Chapter I reading program, the Chapter II program for equipment funds and served as the coor­ dinator of special education “which has expanded greatly over the last few years,” said Superintendent Carroll Wolff. Most recently, Christensen was instrumental in the im­ plementation of the “Young Fives” developmental kindergarten that will begin this school year at Maplewood and serve the entire district. In addition, Christensen served as the volunteer varsity girls’ volleyball coach, while his wife, Martha coached junior varsity. Martha also worked as a substitute teacher in the district. In the community, Christensen has been a member of the Maple Valley Players acting group, and a member of Vermontville Bi­ ble Church. Wednesday, August 27 will be Christensen’s final day in the district. “By working the 27th, I can assist in getting school started in Maple Valley and then go (to the Burt Schools) and start school again,” he said. He and Martha have three children: Jeff who lives near Charlotte, David of Illinois, William Christensen and Karen Hoybook of St. Paul, Minn. “I’ve really enjoyed the community and the people in the community,” Christensen said. “We will move away with some regrets.” Hostings Summerfest offers variety of events A multitude of singing groups and sporting activities highlight this weekend’s Hastings SummerFest celebration.

Nashville, Tuesday, August 19, 1986 — Page 4 Swimming in the buff outlawed in Nashville (Note: Portions of the following story first ap­ peared in this column on Ju­ ly 23, 1980.) The summer of 1901 was a scorcher! Perhaps that is the reason The Nashville News chose that year to endorse nude bathing. An editorial stand supported boys swimm­ ing in the buff, though the case in question was not local. “In Detroit last week, Judge Pheland handed down a decision that displeased many people, but which we ap- plaud,” commented The News in relating the city incident in late July. The story continued: “Six young boys were arrested for swimming in the river without suits and the assistant prosecutor argued that since all had been warned repeatedly by a policeman on the beat, he felt that they and their parents should pay the full penalty of the city ordinance which prohibits bathing without suitable attire. “The Judge pointed out that he swam in the river as a boy, Note the cluster of onlookers perched on and around an old auto parked on Philadelphia Street as another daring diver "takes the plunge." The old waterwork building (now Community Center) and Put­ nam Park are visible in the background at left. Former local resident Guy Howell recalls a later diving plat­ form that evolved through replacement of this old bridge in 1934. never wore a suit because he didn’t have one, and ended with a statement to the effect that he personally would defend the boys if they were arrested again for swimming in the nude in their particular sheltered spot on the river. He also mentioned that three aidermen who had voted for the ordinance had been among the crowd he saw waiting to enter a Detroit opera house to see women wearing tights,” the report said. Cooling off in the river was a popular sport in Nashville, also, in those early days, and the iron bridge across the Thornapple acted like a magnet drawing youngsters to North Main Street in sum­ mer’s searing heat. There, in water so clear one could see bottom, young men found it great sport to dive from the high railing of the 1899 iron span. Another favorite “swimm­ ing hole” for local youths was a site below the dam, near the old Riverside ball park. If any summer called for bathing in the buff, it was the year of 1901. “The awful hot weather of the past two weeks, together with the no less awful electrical storms, have done considerable damage throughout the state, both to crops and in the loss of life and property,” noted The News in late June. The following week the local newspaper indicated, with a twist of humor, that no relief was in sight: “For fear some of our readers might have overlooked it, the past week has been one of the hot­ test on record. The mercury climbed over the 100-mark every day'except one in the last seven, and none of the nights has been cool enough to cause worry over frost.” But soon the deluge came. A severe downpour late on In- A plunge into water so clear one could "see bottom " is caught by the camera as envious young admirers look on. Another swimmer (center) scales the skeletal ironwork to reach the diving perch. A site below the Thornapple River dam, near the old ball park, was another favorite swimmin' hole of Nashville youths who frequently bathed there in the nude. Daring divers perch high atop Nashville's 1899 Thornapple River bridge in this 1920 photo. The iron span, replaced with concrete in 1934, acted like a magnet in drawing youngsters to North Main Street in early seasons of searing heat, such as the scorching summer of 1901 when The Nashville News applauded a Detroit judge's decision defending boys swimming in the nude. dependence Day in 1901 made weather the main topic of discussion in the next issue of The News: “One of the heaviest and most destructive storms which ever visited this vicinity occurred on the night of July 4th, when four inches of water fell within a time limit of four hours, and the bulk of it in two hours. “Nashville was apparently nearly in the center ofthe path of the storm. Railroad traffic was halted with two washouts near the Otto Shulze farm and the bridge near Gregg’s Crossing was completely carried away. High water hampered the work of repair cfews, and it was three days before train service -could be resumed. Throughout the county, road bridges are gone and fences and crops along the streams are either entirely destroyed or badly damaged. The electrical storm which ac­ companied the flood was rather light, but there was some damage to barns and livestock in this area.” Thunderstorms plagued Nashville Nashville and and vicinity vicinity throughout the summer of 1901. The season of erratic weather had been ushered in with a terrific electrical storm close to Memorial Day. Ac­ companied by heavy rains, hail and winds of “cyclonic proportions”, the storm struck southern Barry and Eaton counties, demolishing buildings, toppling windmills and sweeping away trees. The havoc continued throughout the summer, as noted in a News account the first of August: “On Thurs­ day night of last week, this area was hit by another severe electrical storm, which did considerable damage. At one time, four big fires could be seen from Nashville. A barn belonging to John Andrews southeast of the village was struck and fired, being totally destroyed. A new bam owned by Henry Green in Maple Grove and half a dozen bams across the line in Eaton Coun­ ty were struck and burned. The new house of Jonas Hawblitz in Maple Grove was struck but not set afire.” By mid-August 1901, some Nashville folks were seeking at least a temporary reprieve from the wicked weather. “Plenty of people left town Sunday, advised The News. “At die local station, there were 50 tickets sold to Ottawa Beach and 47 for Grand Rapids. Those who stayed home enjoyed a whillykapop per thunderstorm in the afternoon, although there was not much rain included.” With the return of more temperate weather in subsequent summers, opinion about swimming in the buff may have changed on the local scene. Three years after The News applauded nude bathing in Detroit, the Nashville paper published a notice reflecting an obviously less lenient stand: “Parties who have been making a practice of bathing at the river bridge without bathing suits are hereby warned and notified to stop this practice otherwise the village authorities will prosecute all such violations of the ordinance prohibiting such practice.” The notice was signed by L. E. Lentz, village president. The News had no comment. Postscript: After this story first appeared, Guy Howell, a former local resident now of Tucson, Arizona, furnished his personal boyhood memories ofNashville’s early swimmin ’ holes. Wrote Howell: “There was a boys’ swimming hole down back of the (Riverside) ball park that was surrounded by tall scrub willows. We boys bathed there a-la-nature. I remember one time there were several of us in the water and here came Charlie Diamante and his wife strolling along the river bank. We just had our heads above water. They spoke to us very pleasantly and kept on strolling. That was the first and only time they came that way while I was swimming there. It was a real shocker.” Howell also shared memories of a favorite swim­ ming hole near the North Main Street bridge: “Before they started building the new bridge (1934), they built a temporary bridge just downstream from the old one so they could take the 35-ton crane across. That (temporary) bridge had pilings the size of telephone poles driven into the river bed and the deck was 4x12 timbers laid edgeways. When they were taking up the temporary bridge after the new one was completed, we asked them to leave the four pilings nearest the shore on the north side of the river, which they did. We then built a deck and under­ water section between them and dove down into the river channel and brought up large rocks to fill the bottom. We then installed a diving board and had a regular swimming place. We really enjoyed it during the hot summers.” Howell added that he never dived off the old iron bridge which was replaced in 1934 with the present-day concrete span; Back-To School HAIR STYLING Get ready to return to hectic school and campus living with a just-for-your hairstyle.

Trowbridge Service — Matthew 6:14 ou two have been good friends for a long time. Perhaps you share a common interest, and that might be some really worthwhile project. Your relationship has survived a number of minor disagreements with no hard feelings — until now. Suddenly a major quarrel erupted, beginning with a mere difference of opinion and ending with some heated words; so that you are no longer on speaking terms. However, your assurance that you were right is being replaced by a very miser­ able feeling about the whole episode, and for all you know your former friend is suffering the same pangs of remorse. There is just one thing to do: go to your House of Worship and pray for the courage to begin making amends, no matter who was at fault. Your faith forbids you to let your pride end a close friendship because of one in­ cident, so take that first step without any further delay. You will feel much better for it. Quarrels would not last long if the fault were only on one side. — Due de la Rochefoucauld AUTO SERVICE CENTER 130 S. Main St., Vermontville 726-0569 REALTOR' WOLEVER’S REAL ESTATE ELSIE E.

And you have the freedom to move as your heart or your job takes you—without all the hassles of selling a house.

That’s why Auto-Owners Apartment Dwellers Insurance protects the contents of your apartment from loss due to theft, vandalism, fire, water, wind and other losses. It protects you and your family if someone else is injured in an apartment accident.

We feel the examples cited would not be a misappropria­ tion of village funds but money well spent on the future. We elect our village of­ ficials on the hopes that they have the common sense to decide what is good spending ofvillage funds.- for example, educational materials for fire prevention and what is a waste of taxpayers money. As far as the laws are con­ cerned, these officials should have the sense to apply the laws to the proper cir­ cumstance when necessary. Hopefully, they will keep in mind the size of the town they are working with. Some of the things we are trying to teach our young peo­ ple are to be involved in and supportive of the village and Pets FREE KITTENS: 852-9959, 102 Middle St., Nashville.

How can one expect the village residents to be suppor­ tive of the ideals of our small community when the village officials would be asked not to return the efforts?

The council is considering building a 24 by 34 foot room onto the north side of the building where the council can meet and voting can take place. Members felt it would be more convenient to hold their meetings in the village hall where records are more readily available than at the present meeting location of the village Commuity Center.

Because of some unex­ pected expenses and a lack of volunteers, the athletic boosters had claimed sports at Maple Valley could be cancelled beginning this school year. Some ways the boosters are trying to recover are to implement a mandatory pay for play policy and by holding a car raffle. Porritt said she became in­ volved in the “Sports Aid” because “When I was in school, my parents didn’t have to pay for me to be in sports. “My kids enjoy it and I get more enjoyment from wat­ ching my kids then I did when I was in sports.” But Porritt felt parents would enjoy athletics even more if they did not have to pay for their children to participate.

Vol. 115 - No. 8 — Tuesday, August'26, 1986 Teachers return to school without a signed contract By Shelly Sulser Maple Valley School District teachers are in their classrooms today for the opening of school, despite the fact that they do not have a new contract, said the presi­ dent of the teachers’ union. Teachers also attended an inservice session Monday. The Maple Valley News has learned that proposed salaries have been a major stumbling block to reaching a new con­ tract agreement with the board of education. “When you get down to the end of negotiations, it’s usual­ ly a case of trying to settle on salaries and fringe packages,’’ Superintendent Carroll Wolff said Friday. The 77-member teachers’ union, the Maple Valley Education Association (MVEA), and the 58-member non-teaching union, the Sup­ port Services Personnel, both met with members of the board of education bargaining committees Thursday night.. No agreement was reached at that time, however “progress was made,” said Wolff. MVEA President Sharlot Sours said Friday that efforts are being made , to secure a mediator to aid the union in contract negotiations, but she made no comment as to whether a strike could occur. Sours said the MVEA is a member of the Eaton County Education Association, all a 4-H Summer Harvest winners include Vermontville citizens There were a number of winners in the Summer Harvest Contest, sponsored by the Eaton Coun­ ty 4-H Council and held August 17 at the 4-H Building on the fairgrounds in Charlotte. There were entries in 15 different classes,, ranging from the heaviest head of cab­ bage to- plates of vegetables to a scarecrow class. Winners in the youth divi­ sion included Jeremy Droscha of Charlotte, Dana Hasselback of Vermontville, Cheryl Conkey of Vermont­ ville, and Kevin Conkey from Vermontville. Winning blue ribbons in the adult division were Richard Todd of Vermontville, Nancy Conkey .of Vermontville, and Denise »D roseha from Charlotte. The Best of Show Award, donated by Eaton Farm Bureau Women’s group, went to Kevin Conkey. Awards for the winning en­ tries were donated by Felpausch Food Center, Baker Lawn and Garden, Coast to Coast Total Hard­ ware, and A & P, all of Charlotte; Carl’s Supermarket of Olivet; W. Atlee Burpee Company of Pennsylvania; the Eaton County Farm Bureau Women; and the Eaton County 4-H Council. The support of these businesses and groups helped make the event a succes. part of the Michigan Education Association (MEA) based in Lansing. For contract negotiations, Sours said a four person team consisting of Sours, chief negotiator John Hughes; Nan- cy Potter, representing the elementary level teachers, and Ward Rooks, representing the high school teachers has met on several occasions to try and settle the master agreement (covering all teachers). According to Hughes, negotiations between the bargaining team and the board committees began in late April, with nearly 10 unsuc­ cessful sessions held since then. Sours also noted that a representative from the MEA has worked with the teachers’ bargaining unit in the process. “We’re just hoping to be able to meet again as soon as possible,” Sours said, adding that she could make only limited comment because, the bargaining process was still continuing. Sours did indicate that the teachers would like their master agreement to stand for more than one year, as it did in the past. The previous con­ tract was a two year agree­ ment, she said. Concerning the Support Personnel, President Stan Graham could not be reached for comment, but Wolff in­ dicated that group is also unhappy with the salaries and fringe benefits they have been offered. “We would like to get this settled as soon as possible,” Hughes said. Students prepare for 1986-87 school year Nearly 1,623 students are enrolled to begin school today, Aug. 26 to begin the new 1986-87 school year. Students last week received their class schedules and locker assignments at the junior-senior high school office and cafeteria. Here, Greg and Nikki Wood along with their mother, Chris, check over the class line­ ups last week.

It is shown here with ambulance coordinator Pat Powers. (Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) Castleton-Maple Grove-Nashville Ambulance Service buys used unit Although the vehicle is not new, members of the Castleton-Maple GroveNashville ambulance service are pleased with the 1977 Dodge McCoy-Miller am­ bulance that was purchased recently. Ambulance Coordinator Pat Powers said the ambulance cost nearly $3,000 and was completely equipped with about $5,000 worth of live- saving devices. “It was a deal we just couldn’t turn down,” Powers said. He said the vehicle had belonged to a private service in Portage, and that it had not been used on a regular basis. Powers added that body and engine work is needed to cer­ tify the vehicle, which will be used as a back-up unit after it is repaired. Although the current back- up unit received from $700-$ 1,000 damage in a slight mishap recently, Powers said the decision to purchase the new ambulance is not related to that incident. He claimed the damaged unit, the 1972 Chevy Subur­ ban is not big enough to operate efficiently. However, after it is repaired, it will also be used as a second back-up vehicle, he said. Local troop holds 'Court of Honor* Nashville Boy Scout Troop 176 held a Court of Honor on Wednesday, August 13 at the Unitd Methodist Church. The event was attended by friends and family members of the individual scouts. Following the opening, the scouts presented a program which was a review of scout insignias. Each scout displayed several insignias and explained where each is placed, both on the uniform and elsewhere, and gave an explanation as to their purpose. Scoutmaster Ed Boldrey and Assistant Scoutmaster Dale Ossenheimer then presented their recognitions for the evening. They were as follows: Jason Boldrey - Citizenship in the World Merit Badge, Environmental Science Merit Badge, Orienteering Merit Badge, Star Rank, 3 year ser­ vice star.

Asked what some of his goals are for the Maple Valley district, Schug said “first we have to find out where we are and what the needs are and from there, decide our goals.” Schug added that, “it’s like building a house. You have to get the foundation built on solid ground, then you can go on to the reality of building a house.” With over 22 years ex­ perience in education, Schug feels school should “enhance critical thinking (in the students) as they get ready to go out into the world and work.” Since starting his new job last week,Schug said he has spent time meeting and work­ ing with people in the district and interviewing for various openings.

Putnam Park was once called Nashville "Tourist Camp Putnam Park has certainly been a “pride and joy” of Nashville since its develop­ ment early in this century - a delightful place for family gatherings, summertime band concerts, and other communi­ ty festivities. Its velvet-like lawns and cool wading pools held a special attraction for children of the early 1900s. Once tagged “Waterworks Park,” the village property now bears the name of its prime benefactor and developer, early local businessessman Charles Put­ nam, who was responsible for the building of the 1909 “Summer house” bandstand, adding a circular fountain Prosperity and tragedy marked the life of Charles Putnam (1846-1918), who rose from humble Adrian farm origins to prominent business u and community uy leader in Nashville. Infant twin daughters died in 1881; a favorite nephew in 1899. Afflicted with TB, Putnam committed suicide in 1918. After his widow's death, their home on North Main Street became Nashville's public library. pool and a nearby wading pool one year later, and in July 1911 erecting the main entry arch bearing his name. Charles Putnam gave unselfishly of his time and money to development of the park but contrary to popular belief, did not donate the land on which it is located. The property was purchased by the village from the Ralston fami­ ly heirs and first served as the site ofNashville’s waterworks system, being home to its 1891 pump house and and the towering standpipe built the following year. The designation as “Put­ nam Park” was authorized by the village council as a fitting tribute to a man who had con­ tributed so much to the com­ munity. During the heydey of park development, Putnam served two terms as village president. A prosperous hard­ ware merchant turned banker, he came to Nashville in 1865, the son of an Adrian farmer of modest means, and married The lawn was like velvet, recall oldtimers who grew up playing in Waterworks (later Putnam) Park. Children often spent hours climbing in old apple trees west of the hill at left, and more daring young adults scaled the towering standpipe, an 85,000-gal. municipal water storage tank. At right, foreground, is the old 1891 waterworks pump house, which now serves as a Community Center building. An ornamental iron fence encompassed the circular fountain pool built in June 1910 by Charles Putnam, assisted by village engineer Frank Russell and street commissioner William Woodard. The following month, a circular wading pool for children was built nearby, and both were touted as special attractions for the 1938 tourist camp, as were the shady maples and beautiful river view. Outhouses also were added in 1910. Agnes Smith, the village’s first schoolteacher. The life and legacy of the Putnams, and the story of the park have been told in earlier Memories of the Past col­ umns, but how many of our readers can recall the era some 48 years ago when Put­ nam Park was boosted as Nashville’s “Tourist camp”? The front page article in the May 19, 1938, issue of The Nashville News, headlined “Nashville’s Tourist Camp in Residence” tells the story. The entry sign at Putnam Park was set in place on July 5, 1911, marking a milestone for Charles Putnam, who gave of his time and money for development of the park but contrary to popular belief, did not give the land. The sign is seen from the back side in the center of this late 1930s photo — the era when the park became Nashville's free tourist camp. This view looks eastward over the Thornapple River millpond. “Nashville’s free tourist camp is now set and ready for the camping and trailer folks who will soon be driving into Michigan from many states to enjoy beauties indicating tents or trailers, are provided with equipment for cooking, it is hoped in the near future to have several open the driveway into Putnam Park, where electric lights have been placed and facilities for connecting trailers and camps with electricity. Tables and seats are available, and home people as well as tourists are invited to make free use of thse facilities for dinners, sup­ pers and picnic parties. “The village authorities and the Nashville Chamber of Commerce are dividing the expense of all arrangements, this expense being trifling, as most ofthe necessary facilities had previously been provided. A committee from the Chamber of Commerce is placing the signs along the highways, and is looking after other details of having everything in readiness for those who may want to avail themselves ofdie privileges of the camp. air fireplaces provided at conve­ nient places in the park, for free use of all who care to use them. “While the tourist travel has hardly started as yet, the camp is now in readiness and all visitors are heartily welcome.” of Michigan’s lakes, streams and forests. “Large signs are being put up on all the main highways leading into Nashville. A large sign is being placed at the north end of the river bridge, Putnams 1909 project at the park later named in his honor was the construction of a 14-ft. square summer house. Often used as a bandstand for open-air concerts, the structure (which still stands) also served as a podium for oratory on patriotic holidays and other community festivities. This scene is about the “Putnam Park is ideally located for tourist camp pur­ poses. It has an abundance of fine shade from scores of young maples; it overlooks beautiful Thomapple River and the paved highways leading into the village from the north. It has restrooms, wading pools for the little folks, and while it is close to the business section of the town, it is away from all noise, smoke and dust and is well away from the noise and dust of traffic. “Village officials will have control of the park and will welcome all visitors and tourists.

The Eaton Cooperative Ex­ tension Service and the specially trained V.I.P. parenting volunteers are offer­ ing a workshop for fourth and fifth graders on Wednesday, September 10, from 3-5 p.m. at the Washington Elementary School in Charlotte, entitled “When I’m In Charge.” The goal of the program is to help children become skill­ ed in staying home alone without adult supervision. Sgt. Rick Wahl and Captain Pat Long of the Eaton County Sheriff Department will cover ways to deal with home emergencies and demonstrate through roll playing a mock­ telephone call to the local police department. They will also show a film on “On Your Own At Home.” Marge Taylor a registered nurse, will demonstrate sim­ ple techniques in first aid and the V.I.P. volunteers will generate ideas via a skit on how the youngsters can handle loneliness, boredom and young sibling battles. The youth will also learn how to handle their “after school ap­ petites” by finding out how they can make their own nutritious snacks. Gymnastics classes will be held at Fuller St. School Ifyou are interested in your child attending this program, please stop by the Cooperative Extension Office, 126 N. Bostwick, Charlotte and pre­ register your youngster. Only those pre-registered by September 4, 1986, will be allowed to attend.

Doozan previously taught elementary education at Fuller Street School in Nashville, and lives in Hastings with his wife, Sue, also a teacher at Maple Valley, and their two children, Jeffrey, 5 and Nicole, 3. Doozan said his promotion is one he has worked toward for many years. “I like working with children,” he said, adding the reason he entered the field of education is because, “when I was a kid, 1 didn’t like school. So I thought I could change it and make it more enjoyable.” For the most part, Doozan feels he has been successful. Originally from Saginaw, Doozan holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary educa­ tion from Central Michigan University and a master of arts in education administra­ tion of elementary schools from CMU. During his 11-year employ­ ment at Fuller .School, Doozan taught first through fourth grades, and worked one-half year as a substitute in the Maple Valley and BOBBIE’S 1981-1985. served as teacher chairman for fund raisers and for the Campbell Soup label drive, as well as coordinated special events, movies, and field trips. He is a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Hastings and is an ordained elder, member of Session of Church, member of Christian Education Committee and is a junior high youth fellowship leader. In addition, Doozan, a former member of the Hastings Jaycees, is a member of the Flex-Fab Golf League and a member of the YMCA basketball league.

If soils are wet when deep tillage is done, more soil compaction and drainiage problems are created than solved. The dryer the soil and harder the tillage tool pulls, the better job is being done of breaking up compacted zones in the soil horizons. Many fields, especially com and soys, are having in­ creased difficulty growing because of soil compaction. In a dry year, when root development is limited, stress will show up more readily. “Take a shovel into a field and compare the root systems in areas where com is grow­ ing sell compared to areas where com shows moisture stress early and I think you will see what I mean,” says Roger A.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 115 - No. 9 — Tuesday, September 2, 1986 Teachers are still talking, others reach contract accord A tentative agreement for a new contract has been reached between the Maple Valley Schools’ Support Services Personnel and the district’s board of education, however contract talks are still continu­ ing with the teachers’ union. Superintendent Caroll Wolff said the tentative agree­ ment with Support Services Personnel was reached during negotiations Thursday even­ ing. As of Friday afternoon, the 58-member non-teaching union had not had an oppor­ tunity to hold a ratification vote. Concerning talks with the 77-member Maple Valley Education Association (MVEA), Wolff said “progress was made, but no settlement has been reached. Teachers have been work­ ing without a contract since school opened last Tuesday, and “teachers, will be back to work on Tuesday (today), he said. “Hopefully it will all be resolved in the near future,” said Wolff, No date has been set yet for further talks between the board and the MVEA. Because neither the board of education nor the Support Services Personnel has ratified the tentative agree­ ment for that bargaining unit, Wolff said he was not at liber­ ty to discuss details of that new proposed contract.

She says she isn’t excited by the fact the school system doesn’t fund the sports, but Mrs. Forel recognizes the alternative: “It’s too bad we have to play,” she says, “but I’d rather do that than not have sports. It’s a big part of the high school year. I wish they would try for another millage — I think it’d pass.” Mrs. Forel says even the students who choose not to play on a team benefit by sports programs.. “They go to the game, to the dance, or maybe play in the band,” she says. “It’s not just the athletes who enjoy 'sports — everybody does too.” Her sentiments are echoed by most of the parents, who see the alternative to pay-forplay as having no sports at all. And that isn’t an acceptable thought, they say. Acknowledges Mrs. Flower, “I’d hate to see them take sports from my family.” Teachers invited to in*service meeting On Thursday, September 4, Maple Valley Schools will be sponsoring a district wide in­ service program for all teaching, non-teaching and in­ terested parents.

September 2, 1986 — Page 4 'iiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirnTTTn Memories of the past by Susan Hinckley ||||||||||||||||||||||||||HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII|IIIIIIIIIIIIIII|IIIIIIIIIIIW^^ Old Beigh School had unique role By Susan Hinckley (Note: Portions of the following account first ap­ peared in this column on March 24, 1981.) As rural schools go, the Beigh School south of Nashville played a rather uni­ que role in the local educa­ tional program. Closed by consolidation of the rural districts into the town system, the school was later reopened and pressed back in­ to service to hold an overflow of elementary students from the village school. The Beigh School outgrew two buildings in its unusually long life-span of some 90 years service. The second structure served its final days as Nashville’s kindergarten quarters. The youngsters were carried from town out to the Beigh School by bus. Starting in 1946, Mrs. Hilda Baas taught an overflow ofNashville 3rd graders at the Beigh School for a period of ten years. Then, in 1956, Mrs. Mildred Mater began teaching Nashville’s kindergarten classes there. The facility finally was closed in the late 1950s. The original Beigh School was located in Section 12 of Maple Grove Township, about a half-mile south of the replacement built in 1921 on the southwest comer of Sec­ tion 1. The school derived its name from its benefactor, Levi Beigh, who came to this area from Ohio - probably in the early 1860s - and settled on what now is the Edsel Murphy farm (former Milo Young place) south of town along present-day M-66. “The Navues came from Ohio about the same time as the Beighs, and bought the farm across the road,” noted Violet Navue Gill in a 1981 letter from Grand Rapids. “The Beighs had eight children and the Navues, nine. If there wasn’t an ex­ isting school building there was a strong need for one, with all those children needing an education,” said Mrs. Gill, who descended from both families, her paternal grand­ parents being Truman and Izora (Beigh) Navue. Although the date of the construction of the original Beigh School is uncertain, it is known that Levi Beigh donated land for the facility.

For several years following, the Beigh School remained the bailiwick of Mrs. Mater, seen here in that era with four of her young students. Photo by Gladys Miller Richardson The schoolhouse was built on the south edge ofhis property, just north of the driveway to what once was the Morganthaler farm. “In the 1860s and probably before, this road (driveway) went clear through to one mile east,” remembered Mrs. Gill, who attended both the old and the new Beigh schools. As with most rural schools of that day, the Beigh served at least a two-fold purpose. “Levi Beigh was a religious man,” recalled Mrs. Gill, “so traveling ministers held services in the schoolhouse.” There was no well at the old school, noted Mrs. Gill, so once or twice a day the children dipped water from the Morganthaler’s spring house across the narrow dirt road from the school. “Their yard was full of sugar maples,” reminisced Mrs. Gill. “In the spring when Mr. Morganthaler boil­ ed down sap, if he was cook­ ing it down enough for sugar, he’d drop some in the snow for us kids.” The candy was like maple taffy, recalled Mrs. Gill, a treat but tough on the teeth. Mrs. Gill also remembered a butternut tree by the Morganthaler’s spring house. “I had never seen one before and have never seen one since,” she noted. Mrs. Gill also recalled one fall day when the teacher took the youngsters on a picnic to a large woods southeast of the school. “There was a clump of papaws with fruit on them,” recalled Mrs. Gill. “The first and last of those I ever saw, too. I took some of the fruit home to taste. It had a flavor something like a banana but not as good.” As with most rural schools of that era, an appreciation of nature and love of land were acquired along with conven­ tional training centering on the Three ‘R’s. In the fall of 1921 the new, more spacious Beigh School was opened. It was situated on the northeast comer of the present-day intersection of The original Beigh School was situated in Section 12 of Maple Grove Twp., along a narrow road that now is a private drive. The school was built on land owned by Levi Beigh, an early local settler who lived south of Nashville on the present-day Edsel Murphy farm. About 60 years ago this building was moved to Fuller Street in Nashville and is now the William Allen home. The new Beigh School, built in 1921 on the SW corner of Section 1 of Maple Grove Twp., is the most familiar to local residents. This 1923 view shows the back entrance. Closed by rural consolidation, this schoolhouse was later pressed into service to handle an overflow of elementary students from the town school system. The structure has since been converted into a private residence. M-66 and Bivens Road. The structure has since been con­ verted into a private residence. The old Beigh schoolhouse was purchased by the late Ar­ thur Bassett, a well-known Nashville truck farmer. He had the building moved into town in the early 1920s to serve as a storage shed for his gardening equipment. Bassett placed the structure on a site just west of the intersection of South Main (M-66) and Fuller Street, where it still stands today. Following extensive remodeling by the Wade Carpenters, the old schoolhouse-tumed-shed was revamped into a pleasant dwelling on the banks of Quaker Brook, and is home now to the William Allens.

Although she has worked a lot with dried and silk arrangements, she says she’s a newcomer of sorts at arranging fresh flowers. She is one ofthe newest and youngest members of the In­ land Lakes Garden Club, which was formed more than a half century ago. “I’ve been in the club a lit­ tle over a year,” said Starla. She enjoys the camaraderie of the group and says she has learned a lot ofhelpful and in­ teresting information about flowers from the members. “They’re always so good about answering my ques­ tions,” she said. Members also exchange flower bulbs with each other and share plant starters. An informative program is part of every mon­ thly meeting and in October, Starla will be presenting a program on dried flowers. Sometimes the club will have a picnic at Charlton Park or have a luncheon featuring casseroles flavored with dif­ ferent herbs. Arranging flowers serves as a creative outlet for a Nashville area woman. Whether its arranging a centerpiece of silk or dried flowers or a bouquet of fresh garden blooms, Starla Thompson enjoys herself. “I’ve always liked artistic things and I’ve always liked flowers so I fell into it (ar­ ranging), said Starla, who formerly worked part-time during holiday seasons for a florist in Marshall Starla, who resides at 6405 Thomapple Lake Rd., will be putting her talents on display at a September 10 Delton Flower Show, sponsored by the Inland Lakes Garden Club.

Minutes of the meeting are avail­ able in the County Clerk’s Office at 1045 Independence Blvd., Charlotte or phone 543-7500, Ext. 225, or 485­ 6444, Ext. 225. Linda M. Twitched Clerk of the Board of Commissioners Starla Starla’s’s aunt, aunt, Ardith Rastoskey of Hickory Cor­ ners, also a member ofthe In­ land Lakes Garden Club, was instrumental in welcoming her to join the club. Starla’s fondness for flowers can be traced back to her childhood. “My mother (the late Margaret Jessup) always had daffodils and iris and a big planter box in front so I was used to having a yard that had flowers.” She also recalls that as a youth, one of her paying jobs was to mow a lawn and weed a rose garden. Starla, who was bom and raised in Battle Creek and graduated from Pennfield High School, says her favorite flowers are the eustoma, roses and “happy pot daisies.” But when working with flowers, she- says she actually prefers the dried and silk ones because “they last a long time. Once you put them together you can have the dried ones for an extended period of time.” Previously, Starla used to exhibit her dried and silk crea­ tions at area arts and crafts shows, but she hasn’t done that this year. She does create silk bouquets and ar­ rangements for weddings, and takes orders for centerpieces for special occasions as well as wreaths, etc. “I wind my own grapevine wreaths,” she said. Arranging flowers, “satisfies your need to create. I’m not big on crocheting and embroidering...” Her hobbies also include reading and she enjoys word games. Starla and husband Jim, president of the UAW 1002 at Bradford-White in Mid­ dleville, have two children: Angela, 15, a cheerleader at Maple Valley High School; and Jimmy, 19, of Battle Creek. The family moved to Nashville from Ceresco, two and one-half years ago. For the Delton flower show, Starla is planning to enter several categories: a dried fail arrangement, Autumn Beauty (which must be suitable for a kitchen table and feature flowers, fruits or vegetables or a combination), Golden Glow (an arrangement predominantly of marigolds), and Color in Miniature (a small container with mixed flowers). “I might enter some more (categories) too,” she said. Other catagories will in­ clude Dahlia Fantasy, Dining With Flowers, Grandma’s Buffet (an arrangement in an antique container and suitable for a buffet), Bouquet for Teacher (mixed flowers), plus single specimens in the hor­ ticultural division. Participation in the show is limited to club members, but the public is invited to view the free admission show. Barry Township Hall is located on Orchard St., off M-43, in the same complex that houses the fire station, ambulance and police depart­ ment in Delton. HELP SOMEONE LEARN TO READ Call...

During what police believe to have been Barry County’s first bank robbery, an unknown subject escaped with an undetermined amount of cash taken fA>m the Eaton Federal Savings and Loan in Nashville Friday. The FBI, the Barry County Sheriffs Department and the Nashville Police Department are continuing their investiga­ tion of the robbery. Detective Sgt. Ken DeMott of the sheriffs department said two tellers were on duty and one citizen was in the bank when the suspect entered the Main Street establishment at about 1 p.m. A third teller was on break in the back, he said. “He (the suspect) told the tellers to back away from the counter and demanded the money,” DeMott said. He said the man did not reveal any weapons or refer to any weapons, but “he did have his fingers taped,” inter­ DeMott said.“To me, that means he doesn’t want to leave any fingerprints. And to the tellers, that tells them that he means business.” DeMott said he did not know whether there were any accomplices in the incident, or if the subject escaped on foot or in a vehicle. It was reported, however, that the suspect was last seen running north on Main Street from the bank. But according to witnesses, the white man, who is describ­ ed to be in his late 20s, may have left town in a pick-up truck with at least one other white male. Faye Salyers, a waitress at Clay’s Dinner Bell, said a man fitting the description of the suspect had a cup ofcoffee in the restaurant prior to the incident. According to Sandy Salyers, owner of a barber shop next to the restaurant, the suspect then entered his Local Teachers Union approves strike if contract isn’t reached Members of the Maple Valley Education Association last week gave approval to their bargaining team to calll a work stoppage iff a new con­ tract agreement can’t be ham­ mered out soon with the-board of education. But, whether teachers would actually strike depended on the outcome of a school board meeting Sept. 8, said MVEA President Sharlot Sours. (The result of that ses­ sion was not available at press time.) Sours said Friday the bargaining team, along with a state mediator had met with the board’s negotiating committee one week prior when discussions lasted nearly nine hours with talks ending in a standstill. “We’re no closer (to an agreement) than we were two weeks ago,” she said.

Vermontville village invited to join transfer recycling dump site board The village of Vermontville was invited Thursday to con­ sider joining the village of Nashville and the townships of Maple Grove and Castleton in the operation of a transfer (dumping) site. However, some Vermont­ ville council members thought it would be a duplication of taxation because Vermontville Township has decided to join. The transfer recycling board, which currently con­ sists of six members, two from each governmental unit, operates a recycling station in the village limits of Nashville where residents can dump their refuse and recylable items. Because the Vermontville landfill was closed in July due to cost, Monte Allen of the transfer recylcing board, told the council that the board decided to invite the two Ver­ montville municipalities to join the Nashville operation. Previously, the township of Vermontville was approached by the transfer board with the same proposition, and agreed to join the operation. Allen noted that the day Vermontville closed its site, the Nashville station realized a large increase in volume, much of which was from the Vermontville area. Allen explained that the Nashville site has facilities to recycle newspapers, light steel, aluminum and other light Items, Items that are not recyclable go to a burning pile or to large steel bins that are emptied at the Hastings landfill. Cost for the operation is shared by each ofthe three ex­ isting governmental units who pay about $4,000 per year to the transfer board. Board member Carl Tobias said if residents outside those units wished to use the site, it would cost them $4.50 per cubic yard. For those in the units who are members of the board, the cost is $2.50 per cubic yard. There is no charge, he saidv to dump recyclables. “Basically we have a very efficient system,” Allen said. He also noted the Nashville site is the first of its kind in Michigan and it has gained na­ tional attention after having been featured m various jour­ nals and magazines. “So, we kind of have the prototype of things to come,” said Allen who added that “the era of landfills is being phased out.” In response to Allen’s in­ vitation, some members 'ofthe Vermontville council felt the VERMONTVILLE continued p. 2 Special missionary service in Nashville On Sunday, September 14, missionaries Tom and Sandy Hodum will be ministering at the Assembly of God in Nashville. The Hodums will be sharing of their work with the Muslims in Monterey, CA. Services at the Assembly of God will begin at 6 p.m. The church is located at 735 Reed St. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 9, 1986 — Page2 Vermontville from front page village should'riot have to join the transfer board in order to benefit from service if the township’s decision to join is accepted. “As residents ofthe village, we are also residents of the township. We pay taxes in the township, therefore we should get the same benefits,” said trustee Rod Hannon. Hannon also added that before the council makes a decision concerning the mat­ ter, “I would like the township to let us know that as residents of the village, we cannot use service.” Trustee Lana Oster also commented that “I don’t know how the township could support another service when they didn’t suppon the one we had.” The council told Allen it would discuss the issue with the Vermontville Township board before giving further consideration to the proposal. In other business, Village Clerk Sharon Stewart read a letter from village attorney David Smith regarding ownership of the historic Join the Maple valley — COMMUNITY BAND If you can play a musical instrument and would like to be a part of a band, call the Maple Valley Community Education Office at 852-9275. The band will meet on Thursdays from 7:00-9:00 p.m. beginning September 11. Membership fee will be $10.00 Opera House. Smith reported the building is owned strictly by the township according to a deed dated 1895. Vermontville tr ship has agreed to reques llage to fund repairs to -the Opera House, and had J^stigated the need for al’tfaiver of ownership from the village in order to request the tax. “So according to this, we don’t have any rights anyway,” Stewart said. Concerning a controversial donation of $50 by the village council to the Vermontville Fire Department, the council settled the dispute by agreeing to proceed with the donation after a report by trustee Lana Oster. The council had agreed at a meeting two months ago to donate the money to the fire department for the purchase of fire prevention materials to be used in the local elemen­ tary school during fire preven­ tion week in October. The decision was later challenged by trustee Joe Ann How can you be rewarded for good driving after 55? No problem. Auto-Owners gives you a Good Driver Discount if you’re age 55 or over.

But according to Oster who talked with an attorney from the Michigan Municipal League, the donation is legal because the local fire depart­ ment is not considered a private organization but a government entity. “I asked him if it would be illegal for one entity to donate to another and he said “no” because the money would be used for materials that would directly benefit the village,” Oster said. She added the attorney had stated that it would be absurd to challenge the donation because the legal fees to op­ pose it would far outweigh the mere $50, and that “nine times out often a judge would rule that the money would benefit the village anyway.” Although after the original motion, the council agreed to donate the money, Nehmer made a new motion to recon­ sider the donation. The new motion failed 5-2. Nehmer said she felt the money could have been donated by another source, such at the Maplewood Parent Teacher Organization. “There are other funds available for this,” Nehmer said. “I’m sure if you ap­ proached the P.T.O, they would be more than happy to give it to you.” Village President Sue Villanueva responded by say­ ing, “I feel the greatest share ofthe community has children and if it can help to save at least one life, the $50 to me is nothing.” Oster added that, “Nobody is going to challenge giving our fire department $50 for fire prevention that could save their children.” Villanueva concluded the discussion when she said, “I feel we should let the (original) motion stand.” In other business, Nehmer, a member of the water and sewer committee, suggested the council let two Sherman Street residents pay the original cost of $225 to hook into the new sewer line rather than the current fee of $600. “They should not have to pay the $600 because they were there before the service was available,” Nehmer said. At the time sewer lines were first installed in the village, Sherman Street was apparent­ ly supposed to also be includ­ ed in the project. But for some reason unknown to the present council, the line was not run along Sherman Street. Because there are still two residents on' the street who were there when the original plan foiled, members of the water and sewer committee felt they should only be charg­ ed the rate that was in effect at that time, rather then forcing them to pay the current $600 hook-up fee for the new sewer line. But it was noted that because it is stated in the or­ dinance that residents must pay $600, no one should be excluded from that firm cost. “If we do it for two, then we are setting a precedent and we would have to let others...do the same," said Oster. Agreeing, Villanueva said, “I feel they should have to pay it. Our ordinance says $600 for new hook-ups and I want to follow ordinance.” A motion to let the two Sherman Street residents pay only $225 instead of $600 fail­ ed 3-2 with two abstensions.

I am concerned about the present 55 mph speed limit. I feel that it is too high, especially considering the fact that the school is on Nashville Hwy, which generates a lot of pedestrian bicycle traffic. I suggest that the communi­ ty take the appropriate steps to have the speed limit lowered to 45 mph with a 35 mph limit in the vicinity ofthe school. If a child were to be hit by a vehicle; the community would probably demand a lower speed limit; let’s take steps now to have it done before a family has to suffer a tragedy.

She’s joined by senior for­ ward Dawn Morawski (8.7 points, 7 rebounds), senior guard Beth Starring (9 points per game), and junior forward Kim Bahs 6.3 points, 5 rebounds). Other girls counted on to of­ fset the loss of forward Carol Lamie, who was the team’s leading rebounder a year ago, are Kelly Hoeffler, Rhonda and RUST REPAIR Steinbrecher and Carmen Hamilton. Reese says his team will press and fast break well. “But if we get into a quarter-court game we’re in trouble,” he says. “If four of the five girls score like they can, we’ll be okay.” In fact, it’s that balance that Reese believes to be the real strength of the team. Op­ ponents will not be able to key on any one player. “Our strength is in balance. We were good coming off the bench a year ago and our bench is even stronger this year,” admits Reese. The Lions opened their season Sept. 2 against Saranac. The SMAA opener is scheduled for Sept. 10 at home against Bellevue. Scoring for the lioness were Kristen Kraai 8; Deanna Hagon 5, Tracy DeGroot and Jennifer Fisher 4 each; Stephanie Whitmore, Heidi Reese and Angie Bahs 2 each.

When you lose 30-6, how significant are three players?” With Steinbrecher and Owen, Maple Valley managed only 3 first downs, 18 passing and 75 rushing yards. Chris Thomson led the groun­ dgainers with 22 yards on 5 carries while David Benit add­ ed 20 yards. Fowler, meanwhile, had 344 rushing and 356 total' yards.

Rex Thelen scored three touchdowns on runs of 58, 7 and 10 yards in leading Fowler to the win. Maple Valley coach Guen­ ther Mittelstaedt said his team was simply outclassed by Fowler, a frequent visitor to the Class D high school playoffs. “They’ve pretty much had our number in openers. We were pretty much overwhelm­ ed,” said Mittelstaedt. “They yards on 21 carries, scored on runs of 58 and 7 in the first quarter to help Fowler to a 16-0 lead.

When confronted with a mental illness, many families experience a wide range ofconfusing and upsetting emotions. From outrage to despair; shame and denial. They often blame victims for causing worry, embarrassment, family strife. And they ccan often blame themselves. “Was it my fault?” “ Where did I go wrong?” But, mental illness is no one’s fault. Least of all those afflicted. It’s a serious medical illness that affects one in four families—afflicting 35 million Americans from all walks oflife. Recognizing the warning signs and seeking professional treatment for your loved one can be the first steps to reducing family fears and confusion. And to actually healing the sickness. Today, mental illness need not be hopeless. Due to o recent progress in research and treatment, two out ofthree victims can get better and lead productive lives. But they can’t do it alone. They need your compassion, support, and understanding. Learn more. For an informative booklet, write: The American Mental Health Fund, P.O. Box 17700, Washington, D.C. 20041.

HOME CHEMICAL AWARENESS MONTH DECLARED - At least 23 counties will participate in a month­ long campaign this fall to collect household hazardous waste and raise public awareness ofproper disposal methods for such wastes. In recognition of these counties and their campaigns, September has been declared Home Chemical Awamess Month and citizens are urged to recognize the proper use of common household products and the need to dispose of them properly. Leftover oil-based paints, garden chemicals and other toxic products which have outlived their usefulness are the types ofproducts targeted for collection. The effort is being undertaken to provide citizens with an opportunity to take these products to various collection centers where they will be sorted and transported for disposal. Anyone seeking additional infor­ mation should contact the Home Chemical Awamess Coali­ tion, 116 West Ottawa Street, Suite 600, Lansing, Michigan, 48933-1602 or by phone, (517) 372-8898. MICHIGAN FARMERS DEMONSTRATE THEIR GENEROSITY - Michigan farmers have donated more than 36,000 40-pound bales ofhay to Upper Peninsula farmers suf­ fering from recent severe drought. The Michigan Department of Agriculture, which is making damage assessments of various U.P. counties, has also been coordinating the hay donations. The MDA’s Emergency Services Office has been handling matters through its agricultural assistance hotline number 1-800-346-FARM. Once the donated hay reaches the U.P., the distribution and allocation to needy farmers will be handled by Upper Peninsula Cooperative Extension county directors. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 9, 1986 — Page 13 Home orchard needs work in fall Care for the home orchard doesn’t stop when the harvest is over. To come through the winter in good shape, the home fruit planting needs some attention in the fall. Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, says the first step in getting the or­ chard ready for winter is to clean up fallen leaves and fruits. This will eliminate countless disease organisms and insects that would other­ wise overwinter under the trees and be available, to plague the trees next year. A fall cleanup can reduce the incidence of fungal diseases, such as apple scab, and apple maggot, which are probably the biggest disease and insect problems of the home orchard. The next step is preventing winter damage by gnawing rodents. • Mice and rabbits often feed on the bark of fruit trees and ornamental plants. Mice generally do their damage beneath the concealment of snow or mulch that laps up around fruit tree trunks. Rab­ bits gnaw above the snow line. Therefore, protection for trees must extend from the soil to 18 to 24 inches above the usual snow depth. Mouse and rabbit guards are available commercially or can be made at home with !4-mesh hardware cloth or light gauge sheet metal. Simp­ ly form the material into a cylinder that extends from the soil surface to at least 18 in­ ches above the usual snow depth. Chemical test repellents can also be used to protect the or­ chard from rodents. They Mater brothers win top honors at state fair Sheep are bred for two primary reasons, to produce meat and wool.

One of the biggest winning farms, and a name to remember as you bundle up in your wool sweaters in the coming months, was the Mater Brothers of Nashville. Alan Mater was named premier breeder of Rambouillets for the 1986 Michigan State Fair and brought in the Fair’s Grand Champion Ewe of that breed. The Grand Champion Ram belongs to K. H. Blessing and Sons of Fort Wayne, Indiana, who also owned the Reserve Champion Ewe. Charles Cryderman, of Richmond, presented this year’s Reserve Champion Rambouillet Ram. Joe Mater cleaned up with his Black Top Delaines, presenting both die Champion and Reserve Champion Ewes and Rams. Joe Mater was also named the* State Fair’s premier breeder of Black Top Delanines. The honor of premier breeder is given to the pro­ ducer of the best six head of sheep in three show classes of their breed. Most importandy, the animals must be owned and bred in Michigan. The Maters work hard, and breed Columbia and Cor­ riedale sheep as well. They presented some beautifully cared for Michigan sheep, and worked diligently to achieve their honors as two of the Michigan State Fair’s 1986 Premier Breeders, said a State Fair spokesperson.

Nashville Wheels for Life Bike Ride fights childhood cancer Bike-a-thon chairman Elsie Wolever is asking NashvilleVermontville residents to join the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital “Wheels For Life” Bike-a-thon slated for Sept. 20 at the Maple Valley High School Parking Lot. Wolever said this ride honors Jaime, a leukemia pa­ tient at St. Jude. “With every turn of the wheel, riders become ‘spokes’-men for all the kids with cancer, like Jaime, who want to know they aren’t in this battle alone.” She said, “People willing to give time to create more time to children crying for help stimulates a better event and raises more money for the hospital. Riders are really needed. They make or break a bike-a-thon.” Sponsors donating a sum for each mile completed are enlisted by riders. Those who raise $25 receive a St. Jude tshirt. When $75 is raised, the rider receives a barrel tote bag and a t-shirt. Pick up sponsors forms at 126 S. Main Nashville or school office. “The general plan is to have a good time while help­ ing a wonderful group of children counting on our sup­ port,” Wolever said. Contact Elsie E. Wolever, 126 S.

The bank’s tellers who ex­ perienced the Friday holdup were outraged to learn that no local police officers were on duty at the time, said Kathy Felder of the Main Street len­ ding institution. “Where were our police of­ ficers that day and why do we only have two officers?,” Felder questioned the council. Although neither officer was present at the meeting, Village President John Hughes explained that one of­ ficer was on vacation at the time, and the other was scheduled to patrol during the night shift on that Friday. He also stated that each of­ ficer puts in over 40 hours per week and that the village is covered 365 days a year with much ofthe coverage at night. While the men are off duty, they are not required to carry a beeper or to be near a police radio, he said. “When they’re off duty, they’re off duty,” said Hughes. Felder, along with her hus­ band Henry, her mother Shirley Toman and Bobbie Weller of Bobbie’s Unique Nail shop, who claims her business was held up last year when no officers were on du­ ty, requested a third police of­ ficer be added , to cover time riot currently patrolled. “Nobody in this room knows how it feels to be in a scary situation like that when there are no cops on duty,” Felder said. But Hughes maintained that it is not within the budget to hire an additional officer to cover the off time of the pre­ sent officers. “Indeed, we only have two officers.. .that’s all we physically can do and still keep what we’ve budgeted for police,” said Hughes. Annually, nearly $82,000 is budgeted for the police department by the village, said Hughes, half of which is used to pay wages. However, Hughes did point out that the village does retain a part time officer who lives in Battle Creek to work while one of the local men is on vacation. But the week of the robbery, the man had already worked 3-4 days and no of­ ficers were on duty the day of the incident, said Hughes. Felder said he would volunteer his services to help patrol the village in view of the lack of funding to hire an officer, but Hughes stated volunteers can’t be used because ofthe liability involv­ ed and because patrolmen have to be certified. The citizens then suggested the officers have a day off in the middle of the week rather than Friday when payroll and social security checks are be­ ing cashed. Hughes stated he thought potential perpetrators would then learn ofthe officers’ days off and could make their criminal attempts on those days. But, “If we had so­ meone on duty during that Cathy Felder of Eaton Federal Savings and Loan, standing, addresses the Nashville Village Council. At left is her mother, Shirley Toman, and her husband.

As a result of the meeting, a tentative agreement was reached between the board and the teachers' union. (Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) The Maple Valley Educa­ tion Association (the teachers’ union) reached a tentative agreement with the Maple Valley Board of Education last Monday (Sept. 8) after more than 100 hours of negotiations over many months. Although MVEA Chief Negotiator John Hughes would not reveal any details about the proposed master contract until members ap­ prove it, he did say the teachers are expected to meet Thursday to ratify the propos­ ed contract settlement. The 77-member union had previously given their negotiating team, made up of MVEA President Sharlot Sours, Hughes, Ward Rooks and Nancy Potter, authoriza­ tion to call a work stoppage if the board had not offered a sufficient proposal at the Sept. d 8 meeting. After three hours of talking in closed session after the regular open school board meeting, the board of educa­ tion met with the union’s negotiating team to present them with their proposal. The team then talked with the board’s bargaining com­ mittee, and later announced a tentative agreement had been reached. Nashville’s “back yard” will be transformed to the col­ onial days and other early periods when the second Muzzloading Shoot and Rendezvous takes place this Saturday and Sunday. Chairman ofthe event Hank Felder, Jr. noted more than 15 campers, wearing authentic clothing from the past, plan to pitch their tee-pees diagonally behind Nashville Hardware Friday, where a muzzleloading shoot, en­ campment, and other ac­ tivities will take place beginn­ ing Saturday. Felder said an open shooting contest will run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, where participants will shoot at targets such as sipping straws, candle flames, clay targets and briquettes. An axe throwing contest will also be held. If there are enough people available, Felder said a simulated battle will take place on the grounds from 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Also on Saturday, the Nashville Friends of the Library (F.O.L.) will sell sub­ marine sandwiches, coffee, drinks and cookies on the en­ campment grounds from 12 to 6 p.m., and Friday from 3-6 p.m. The F.O.L. will also hold a used book sale at the library from 3-5 p.m. on Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Proceeds will go the new children’s wing of the library. At 7 p.m. Saturday, a $15 prize is available for the win­ ner of a-primitive cooking contest to be judged by area business people. Felder said the shooting contest will resume Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., using the same types of targets used on Saturday. Also on Sunday, an Indian game called a jug run will be held. Prizes donated by area businesses include cash, gift ENCAMPMENT, cont. p. 2 Friends of Library plan book sale and food stand The Nashville Friends of the Library will have a food concession stand at the Muzzleloading Shoot this weekend.

The public is invited to observe the activities free of charge. common knowledge when the officers are on duty and when they are not. “You can stop just about any teenager on the street and ask them ifthe cops are on du­ ty and they can tell you,” said Felder. Weller, from the nail business cited two incidents where accidents occurred in town when no officers were available, but “I’m not here to insinuate that he (acting Chief Gene Koetje) is not competent or Walt (Pincumbe). They’ve helped in other situations but we’d like to see more added to the staff so we can be covered on a regular basis,” she said. “What do we do to get 24 hour police protection? Even having them work 10 hours would give us 20 hours pro­ tection... we’re paying taxes but where is it going?” Henry Felder added, “I’ve just volunteered my services and if it’s going to take getting a hold of the Guardian Angels like they’ve got in Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo and these places, maybe we will.” Although Hughes stated that he feels the department is run adequately with the two pre­ sent officers, he did say, “I have maintained for a long time that we need a third officer...” Hughes pointed out that out of three major cases currently being investigated by the Nashville police, two have been solved and the the third is nearly solved. When the citizens insisted on knowing how they could obtain a third officer, Hughes told them “The honest answer is for us to raise your millage.” Toman expressed her ap­ proval of additional millage for police protection and re­ quested a vote of the council to determine how many of its members would support such a proposal. But trustee Ben Mason op­ posed the action. “I think you’ve submitted a need to the council and we’ll think on it but I don’t think it’s fair for you to come in here and ask for a show of hands, ’ ’ he said. Although Tomari and the others present said they would vote for an additional two mills for police protection, trustee Dick Chaffee felt the rest ofthe community may not share the same feelings. “Before this incident, would you have voted for millage?” he said. Felder responded, “yes”, with Toman adding, “...don’t assume they (the community) won’t, ask them,” said Toman. “Why not bring it to the public and ask their opinion?” Toman added she would like to obtain a poll of the community to determined how many would be in favor of special police protection millage. “It’s unfair to assume that they’re not going to support it because of the school,” Toman said, referring to the amount of time it took for the schools to finally pass a millage increase. Hughes said he would refer the matter to the police com­ mittee, which consists of council members Carl Tobias and Marsha Ainslie, who may return with a recommendation to the council at the next meeting scheduled for September 25. Acting police chief Gene Koetje had no comment con­ cerning the matter when he was later contacted by the Maple Valley News. 4$ X MT MT fljj Ci x IF s’’ * X nrf’ X X *2 g)|^ New feed store opens in Nashville A new business in Nashville that is more than just a feed store will celebrate its grand opening this week.

Wood said. An apparent mix-up in com­ munications led Barry County Sheriff’s deputies to believe that Kenneth D. Babcock, 29, of4013 Swift Rd., was armed with a gun when the incident occurred, Gerald Aldrich, transportation supervisor for the Maple Valley School System, said. Babcock told sheriff’s deputies that at no time during two confrontations he had with the school bus did he carry a gun. Babcock has been squabbl­ ing with the school system ever since last year, Aldrich said, trying to get the school bus to stop at his house to pick up his children, rather than down the road at a neighbor’s. Thursday, Sept. 4, Aldrich said, matters came to a head when Babcock stood in the middle of Swift Road when the bus made its morning run past his house. Bus driver Marilyn Hosey stopped her bus, Aldrich said, and opened the door. Aldrich said Babcock then held the door of the bus open while his children boarded.

Aldrich said Hosey advised him Of the incident when she returned from her run, and Aldrich instructed her that if such an incident occurred again, she was to turn the bus around and go around the block to pick up other students on Swift Road. The next day, Friday, Sept. 5, Hosey saw Babcock stan­ ding in the road again, Aldrich said, and proceeded to turn her bus around and enter Swift Road'from the op­ posite end. Hosey radioed the bus garage, Aldrich said, and ask­ ed them to contact the sheriff’s department. Bus mechanic Bill Quick did so, Aldrich said, and somewhere in the course of the bus garage’s conversation with the sheriff’s department, the subject of a gun must have come up, he said. Aldrich said Hosey and Quick denied having said there was a gun involved, but Cpl.

Tuesday, September 16, 1986 — Page 4 World War II altered local lives By Susan Hinckley When Nashville scholars returned to their textbooks in the fall of 1941, it was a time of “wars and rumors of wars”. U.S. ships were com­ ing under attack by German U-boats, and relations with Japan had deteriorated to a dangerous state. On December 7th, the horrifying “day of infamy” at Pearl Harbor catapulted the United States into war with Japan. “Virtually every man, woman and child (in the U.S.) knew that war was on the When this group of Nashville's 9th through 12th graders resumed classes in the fall of 1941 there were "wars and rumors of wars" on the international scene. Before the year ended, the U.S. was at war with Japan, Germany and Italy, and many of these students realized that their future plans would be seriously affected by that conflict. At least one faculty member in this 20% OFF horizon,’’ remembers a present-day Nashville resident, recalling, those days. “But they didn’t expect anything as devasting as Pearl Harbor. A few days later Germany and Italy declared war on the U.S. Before the end of 1941-42 schoolyear photo also became actively involved in the war. The teaching staff is seated in the second row, starting 5th from left: Raymond Spiess, Olith Hamilton, Martha Zemke, Ruth Williams (who became "Nashville's W.A.A.C."), Fred Jappinga, Arlie Reed, Arthur Kays, John Hamp and Ennis Fleming. December 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law a new selective ser­ vice act that must have weigh­ ed heavily on the minds ofthe young men who comprised Nashville’s high school stu­ dent body in 1941-42. The law called for all men from ages 18 to 64 to register for the draft and provided for possible conscription of all men from 22 to 44. For members ofthe Class of ’42, plans for the future would be pre-empted by the national crisis. Many would find their young lives seriously altered by the conflict that consumed the energies of America and its allies for the next four and one-half years. By the end of the war Nashville would add nine gold stars to the com­ munity’s Honor Roll board in Central Park. Throughout those years The Nashville News carried week­ ly /fl[X\n AHS AHRVDIWLLAER E*SNITOB $ /l[\J HARDWARE cg/ 105 N. Main, Nashville Several of the names on Nashville's Honor Roll board in Central Park belong to individuals seen in the 1941-42 high school group photo, including that of English teacher Ruth Williams, who was released from her teaching contract in 1942 to serve with the newly-formed Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. The petite Miss Williams, a native of Riverdale, had become so much a part of the local community during her tenure here that Nashville claimed her for their Honor Roll. Wings had to be added to the original board to accommodate the names of all those in armed services. At the close of the war, nine had been marked with Gold Stars. war news reports, biographical sketches and ac­ tion updates on the many local men and women serving in the armed forces. Photos of at least one or two of those uniformed individuals ap­ peared on the front page of nearly every early to mid-1940s issue ofThe News. The war touched not only the lives of Nashville’s students of that era, but also the faculty. One teacher in particular, who is seen in the accompanying group photo, is remembered in that role. Ruth E. Williams was called “Nashville’s W.A.A.C.” in a front page photo report on her status in the February 11, 1943, issue ofthe local paper. “Altho a native of River­ dale, Mich., Ruth Williams became so much a part of this community during the four and a half years she taught in Nashville-Kellogg school that Nashville claims her for the Community Roll of Honor. “Miss Williams enlisted in the W.A.A.C. last August and was released from her con­ tract to teach in the local high school. She entered service at Fort DesMoines, la., early in September. “Miss Williams received her A.B. degree from Central State college at Mt. Pleasant. She joined the teaching staff of Nashville-Kellogg school in January, 1938, and remain­ ed until last June. She had two brothers in the Army at the time she enlisted and a younger brother has since become eligible for the draft. ‘ ‘After completing her training at Fort DesMoines, Aux. Williams was transfer­ red to the W.A.A.C. training center at Daytona Beach, Fla., where her work has in­ volved interviewing recruits and giving tests used as an aid in their classification.” New books available at Putnam Public Library China-Burma-India by Don as Cabinet Minister.

Ito* To the editor: What community the size of Vermontville has as much history and as great a heritage? With the addition of the historical marker at the United Methodist Church, Main Street, in a little over a block will feature four of these special reminders of the past. They will be every day a tangible evidence of the roots and the foundation of the community. Three of them point to the emphasis and the importance that the founders placed in the spiritual and educational values of life. The fourth one is the facility that came later to help meet the cultural and social needs. So we have the Academy, the Congregation Church, the Methodist Church and the Opera House. Vermontville’s reason for being is tied up in these. Because it is a com­ munity built upon solid ground its past is great and the promise for the future the greater. I have difficulty in understanding the mentality and the motive ofmany in this nation today. Vermontville is proof of the validity of the basic foundations upon which our nation came into being and grew into greatness. No other nation can compare. Yet some are eager to ripdown one of its pillars. On a pretense and a misguided in­ terpretation of the intent and purpose of the founding fathers and our Constitution they seem determined to negate moral and spiritual values. The present effort to ever widen the difference of church and state is not always based upon solid criterion. The existence of Vermont­ ville is proofthat in days gone by the school and the church went hand in hand. Why are they so determined to erode and destroy the principles and the foundations of a system that worked so very, very well? Sincerely Edgar Fleetham rfasts ton.

Deputy Hildreth contacted Babcock this past Saturday, Hildreth reported. Babcock denied ever using a gun to get the school bus to stop.. “He said he was standing in Mace Pharmacy 219 N.

Lion eagers roll to pair of wins The Maple Valley girls basketball team continued its winning ways last week by surprising a tall Lakewood squad on Monday and eeking out a victory over Bellevue on Wednesday. Monday’s 56-44 victory came as a result ofa tenacions Lions defense and accurate outside shooting, said coach Jerry Reese. The visiting Vikings never led in a game played before the largest audience ever to watch a girls’ basketball game at Maple Valley. An ag­ gressive press forced the visitors into many turnovers. Kim Bahs, Sheri Forell and Beth Starring combined for 17 of Valley’s 28 steals. Carmen Hamilton, Karris True, and Kelly Hoefler were called on to play defense on 6’3” Missy O’Mara and held her to 5 field goals. The Lions took their biggest lead at 32-19 near the close of the first half and saw it dwin­ dle to 38-32 by the close of a sluggish third quarter. But a 16 point fourth period put the Lions in firm control at the final buzzer. Sheri Forell poured in 28 points for Valley. She also grabbed 10 rebounds and recorded 8 assists. Beth Starring contributed 12 points including a perfect 6 of 6 free-throws. Also scoring for Valley were Dawn Morawski, 8 points; Kim Bahs, 4 points and 8 rebounds; Kelly Hoefler, 2 points and 7 re­ bounds; and Karris True, 2 points. A strong Lion bench is credited with a large part of the victory. Maple Valley hit 16 of 24 free throws and had 26 per­ sonal fouls. Lakewood made Thank You THANK YOU Many thanks to my wonderful relatives, neighbors & friends for thier many prayers, gifts, phone calls & cards.

Bellevue nearly pulled off an upset Wednesday night when they invaded the Lion gym ready to win. Though Valley led for good after the four minutes, the Broncos kept close throughout the game. Foul troubles plagued Valley. Leading scorer Sheri Forell sat down early in the first half with 3 fouls and missed much of the second half before fouling out late in the final period. Valley’s largest lead came in the middle of the second quarter, 24-15, but dwindled to 28-25 at the half.

The strong Lion bench again played an important part in the victory. Reserve guard Diona Morawski gave Valley a 47-43 lead with 2:32 to play. Free-throws helped seal the victory for Valley as Bellevue tired to regain control of the ball. The Lions hit 10 of 15 in the final period. They were 14 of 19 for the night. Dawn Morawski tallied 12 points and grabbed 10 re­ bounds. Sheri Forell added 18 points. Kim Bahs had 4 points and 4 steals; Kelly Hoefler, 4; Karris True and Diona Morawski 2 each; Lesley Dipert 1. Maple Valley stands 3-1 overall and 1-0 in league play. They take on Middleville on Monday and host league rival Olivet on Wednesday. M.V. uses late touchdowns to top Bellevue 33-16 Maple Valley scored three second halftouchdowns to ral­ ly from a 16-12 deficit and beat rival Bellevue 33-16 last Friday in the SMAA opener for both schools. The win upped Maple Valley’s overall record to 1-1. Bellevue is 0-2. Down 16-12 midway through the third period, David Benit’s 8-yard run and subsequent two-point conver­ sion sent the Lions into a 20- 16 lead. Then came the turning point in the game. After Bellevue had driven to the Maple Valley. 5-yard line, Brian Ainsworth intercepted a pass and dashed 99 yards for a touchdown and an insurmoun­ table 26-16 lead on the last play of the third period. Maple Valley later added a 14-yard touchdown run by Scott Carpenter with 45 seconds remaining. Dan Kellogg kicked the extra point. Benit had opened the scor­ ing at the 7:41 mark of the first quarter on a 2-yard run. Adam Brumm upped that lead to 9-0 with 2:21 remain­ ing in the period with a 30-yard field goal.

Lion coach Guenther Mittelstaedt said he was concern­ ed with how his team’s of­ fense would react to the loss of starting quarterback Glenn Ewing, who missed the game with an ankle injury. Maple Valley’s running game picked up the slack, gaining 276 yards. Benit rushed 14 times for 108 yards and Chris Thomson and Greg Flower added 82 and 40 yards. “We had some good block­ ing up front from Mitch Col­ lier, Mike Long, Sherman Reid and Richard Meade — hat was one key,” said Mittelstaedt. “The other was Ainsworth’s interception.” Maple Valley managed only 17 yards through the air As backup quarterback Jeff Fisher hit 2-of-ll passes. Bellevue had only 6 first downs, 59 yards passing and 65 on the ground. Flower had 11 tackles to lead Maple Valley while Scott Carpenter and Brunjm had 5 tackles. Paul Bell recovered a fumble while Matt Mc- Clell.and added an interception. Mittelstaedt said his team recovered nicely from last week’s disapointing opening­ game loss to Fowler. “The intensity was super,” he noted. “We really wanted this game. We lost four fumbles and a couple of penalties hurt us, but we mov­ ed the ball on the ground and that helped.” This week Maple Valley hosts winless Springfield. J.V. Lions open league play with 23-8 win over Bellevue The Maple Valley junior varsity football team captured their first win last Thursday night over league for Bellevue, 23-8. Travis Swinson opened the scoring with a 40 yard touchdown catch from quarterback Matt Forell. Bob­ by Wood ran in the two point conversion to make the score 8-0. After two 20 yard passes from Matt Forell to Travis Swinson, Wood banged in from 1 yard out with no time on the dock in the first half. Wood again ran in the two point conversion to make the score 16-0. In the second half Ryan Hickey scored on a 9 yard run with Mike Everett booting the extra point. Bellevue rounded out the scoring in the fourth quarter with a touchdown and extra point. The Lion defensive unit led by Randy Henzie and Sean Bitgood intercepted four passes and recovered four fumbles. Congratulations to the entire team for a fine effort. Next game is at B.C.

Drive chairman Illa Steward said that although no goal has been set for the 1986 drive, nearly $5,000 is ex­ pected to be collected. “Our goal has been $2,500 for the last several years,” Steward noted, adding that $5,919.38 was actually col­ lected in 1985. She credits the exceded goal with the excellent participa­ tion of shop employees. She added however, that participation was also good despite the fact that Meadow Acres Mobile Home Park no longer allows soliciting within the park. Steward, who has been Nashville’s drive chairman for nine years, said the local fund is divided among various Nashville and Barry County groups such as the Nashville Christmas baskets, Little League Baseball, Little League Football, Nashville Girl Scouts, Family and Childrens’ Services, Barry Washington to railroad, County Health Service, Barry Sheila Grinnage; County Commission on Ag­ Cleveland Street to Reed to ing, Barry County Child Lentz, Sandy Schaub; South Abuse Agency, Barry ComState from Francis to munity Hospice and United Casgrove, Nelson Brumm; Way of Michigan.

Two arrested for Craft Center, Church break-ins and Carl Joseph Leinhart, 17, have been charged with two counts each of the breaking and entering ofan unoccupied building with intent to commit a felony, said acting Nashville Police Chief Gene Koetje. The charge carries a max­ imum penalty of up to 10 years in jail, he said. Koetje said $2,400 worth of jewlery was taken August 29 from the Curtis Craft center, when the two boys allegedly entered the building from a window on the south side. In addition, the same two subjects are also accused of Bake Sale raises $265 for sixth grade camp Due to the efforts of parent Denise Burton, Maplewood sixth graders planning to attend camp this month will get a bit of a break in cost. Burton is responsible for organizing a bake sale that was held on the Main Street sidewalk in Vermontville Friday to raise money to help defray the students’ camp fee. Each year, sixth grade students attend camp at the Long Lake Outdoor Center at the Yankee Springs recreational area in Barry County, where they learn various skills and crafts. Camp this year will begin September 30 and end October 3. In order to hold the bake sale, sponsored through the Parent-Teacher Organizaiton, Burton had asked parents of Maplewood sixth graders to make some type ofbaked item to sell. The proceeds will be divid­ ed between the students plann­ ing to attend the camp experience. Total cost for each student is $45 said Maplewood Secretary Sue Becraft. However, the P.T.O is donating $5 per student and an additional $5 will be sub­ tracted from the fee due to the bake sale. entering the Nashville United Methodist Church on or about August 8, and fleeing with a microphone and a harp from the church plus three tents that belonged to a local boy scout troop. Koetje said all of the merchandise has been recovered, with the exception of the harp that was apparently sold at a Lansing pawn shop. Leinhart was arraigned in Barry County’s 56th District Court Sept. 16, and a preliminary examination was set for Sept. 22. He is presently free on bond. Sh Shellington was arraigned Sept. . 15, and was also scheduled to appear for a preliminary examination Sept. 22. He was released on a personal recognizance bond. Teachers ratify new contract agreementThe Maple Valley Educa­ tion Association has ratified, by a majority vote, a new con­ ttract agreement reached between the teaching union and the board of education recently. Although she would not comment on details of the agreement because it has not yet been ratified by the board, MVEA President Sharlot Sours did indicate that teachers got what they wanted. “We got something we definitly wanted or we would have striked,” Sours said. ‘‘We Denise Burton, left, and sixth grade mother Jill Booher stock the sale table.

Tuesday, September 23, 1986 — Page 2 Nashville man is Michigan's Male Soloist of the Years Gospel music : evangelist Monty Bishop of Nashville was honored last Saturday as Michigan's male soloist of the year. Sponsored by Inspirational Gospel Music News, an Eagle award for the distinction was presented to Bishop at a ceremony held at Baker Col­ lege in Owosso. “I was surprised,” said Bishop. “My greatest respon­ sibility now is to try and live up to what the award is given for.” The Eagle is an exhortation award that recognizes gospel artists for excellence in the music ministry, with the singers nominated and selected by fans in the state through the gospel music newspaper. “It’s meant to lift up those who have (exhibited) ex- cellence in the ministry.” ex­ plained Bishop. Having grown-up in Battle Creek. Monty has been sing­ ing since childhood, and began his professional music career nearly six years ago. He is a graudate of Pennfield High School and Albion College where he earned his bachelor’s degree in English and music. Currently a teacher at Nashville Christian Academy, Bishop, 28, moved to Nashville nearly one year ago with his wife and manager, Diane, and children, Justin and Morgan. He has traveled extensively throughout the Midwest and is now planning a spring, 1987 concert tour to many U.S. cities. Since he began his career, Bishop has released two albums, one in .1981 called “Step by Step” and his most recent, “In His Image.“ Both albumsj Xeature a number of songs written by Bishop, who is represented by DLB Ministries of Battle Creek. The company also happens to promote Bethany Mehr, the 1986 Female Soloist of the Year and Eagle Award winner. “Monty is one of Gospel music’s finest male vocalists with a sound that fits the mood of our time,” said Walt McKnight, editor of the Gospel Music News. Monty Bishop of Nashville left, recently was named the state's male vocalist of the year. Also shown with Bishop and his Eagle Award is his wife, Diane.

Nashville, Tuesday, September 23, 1986 — Page 4 Girls' Basketball received regular coverage in 1920s by Susan Hinckley With last season’s league championship under their belts and another promising year underway, Maple Valley’s girls’ basketball team has captured the eyes and hearts of the community. For some of our readers, this may be occasion for renewing memories of Nshville’s high school girl cage teams of the past. Although there seems to be no concrete data on just exact­ ly when the first girl’s team was formed in Nashville, there is an indication that it may have been as early as 82 years ago. This item appeared in The Nashville News on October 20, 1904: “Basketball seems to be becoming a popular sport with the high school girls and there is talk of hav­ ing a regular high school team.” By the mid-1920s Nashville had a lively girls’ basketball team that received regular coverage in The News. For the enjoyment of our readers who recall those “bloomer uniform” days and others who may be interested, we have excerpted some of the more colourful girls’ basketball reports from The Nashville News issues of 1924-26. January 24,1924...Friday, Lake Odessa came to In the 1921-22 school year, this girls' team rep­ resented Nashville High on the basketball court, wearing middies and bloomers as the uniform of that day. In that era, Nashville's basketball teams, both boys and girls, practiced in the opera house which was unheated except during games, when wood­ burning stoves at each end of the court were fired up. Nashville with two basketball teams, and left a score of 17-15 in favor of our girls, and 21-12 for the home boys. Both games were exceptional­ ly interesting, because of the team work and good hard fighting spirit displayed. February 14, 1924... After being idle for over two weeks on account of Vermontville cancelling their games, Nashville once more resumed the role of champions in the basketball world by journey­ ing to Bellevue Friday night and winning both boy’s and girl’s games. The Bellevue teams were clearly outclassed in every stage of the game; however, they deserve credit for playing Memories of the past a clean brand of basketball. The girls’ game resulted in a rather one-sided score of 33 to 4. Our guards did some fine work by holding Bellevue to one field basket made in the second quarter. The other two points were made from free throws. Remington made several spectacular plays, and scored 17 of Nashville’s 33 points. Parker scored 8 points, Cross 6, and Lowell 2. The town did not have a gymnasium until the Kellogg addition to the school in 1936. From left, front row: Doris Hinckley, Lydia Guy, Bernice Olmstead, Pauline Furniss.

Stalled deep in their own territory with time running out and trailing by 5 points, the Rams proceeded to unwrap at . least four gifts handed to them by the Lions, who now have lost two of their first three games this fall. Springfield’s game-winning drive was highlighted by two key roughing the kicker calls, a 15-yard unecessary roughness call, and a 29-yard pass completion. The Rams’ Norm Johnson finally scored from The 4-yard line with 2:36 to go in the fourth quarter to wipe out a 13-9 Lion lead and hand Springfield a 17-13 vic­ tory, the team’s first win of the season. Maple Valley coach Guen­ ther Mittelstaedt didn’t mince words in assessing the heart­ breaking 4-point loss. “It’s the most disapointing loss I’ve had in coaching,” he said. “We played hard the se­ cond half.

Adam Brumm’s extra point cut the margin to 9-7. Fisher then gave the Lions a 13-9 lead early in the fourth quarter on his second 1-yard plunge. But the Rams got the ball back and, aided by four Lion mistakes, eventually punched the ball in the end zone thus spoiling Maple Valley’s home opener. Statistically, Maple Valley outplayed - die Rams. The Lions had 12 first downs, 54 passing yards and 182 more on the ground including 150 in the second half alone.

Mittelstaedt said despite two losses in three games, his team isn’t fall from being a solid outfit. “I would say we are just a touch away from being a good ballclub,” he said. “Little things have hurt us — mistakes here and there. “Defensively, we haven’t stopped people like last year, but we’ve moved the ball better.” Greg Flower, Brumm, Owen and Matt Ewing all had 8 tackles to lead the Lion defense.

A “Rendezvous,” one of the American frontier’s most famed activities, was being re-enacted in Nashville by a group of men, women, and children whom time misplaced. “My folks always told me I was bom too late,” Hank Felder lamented as he tugged on a pewter and porcupine­ quill earring. “I always liked this stuff.” Families from as far away as Ontario, Canada braved ■ less than perfect weather to at­ tend the campout, organized by Felder, owner of Hank’s Gun Shop in Nashville. The two-day event, called the Muzzleloading Shoot and Rendezvous, included musket shooting, cooking, and knife­ throwing contests. Felder dressed as an 18th Century French fur trader, and most everyone else wore authentic early American garb. Felder’s brother-in-law Dave Slocum sported a skunk­ skin cap “which is fine except when it gets wet,” he said. “Then it has a really authentic smell.” Authenticity is prized among those who travel around to the various Early American campouts, Felder said. At his camp, it was back to basics as his family had to rely on an open fire for cooking and heating and a wooden bar­ rel set up on a tripod made of wooden stakes for drinking water.

Nearby, one of the most beloved activities of a frontier rendezvous, games of marksmanship, were being held, with prizes offered to those who could snuff out the most candle flames with a musket ball. Prairieville Road resident Dennis Priddy hunkered up to the shooting line in breeches and tri-comered hat toting a homemade Tennessee Poor Boy flintlock musket that he built in two days. Priddy builds his own weapons as a part-time hobby and business, and won Satur­ day’s Muzzleloader shooting competition. His prize was a handpainted antique saw depicting one of the other campouts Felder attended. Targets included sipping straws, poker chips, charcoal briquettes, candle flames (shooting the candle itselfwas a no-no) and playing cards. For the truly skilled, there was an axe head sunk into a log with clay pigeons position­ ed on either side. Those firing had to hit the axe blade straight on, splitting the musket ball in half and breaking both the left and right clay pigeons. “I enjoy this,” Felder said. “This is what we like to do.” In addition to bringing his family to the campouts, Felder gathers up his teepee Continued on next page— Hank Felder (right) and brother-in-law Dave Slocum pose in front of Hank's lodge. Between the two is a lodge "smoke pole" that is used to direct the teepee's fire. On the pole is Felder's "ownership shield" and the skins of several small animals.

Besides the camaraderie the camps inspire, brother-in-law Slocum added, those attending have a chance to ‘ ‘experience a lifestyle that no longer exists.” The eagle symbolizes Felder’s identity in the “tribe” and is painted on a large ownership shield which hangs outside the lodge on a “smoking pole” which has lines attached to the teepee to control the direction of the fire’s sinoke.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 115 - No. 11 — Tuesday, September 30, 1986 Nashville Village will bolster Police protection by Shelly Sulser The village of Nashville will soon benefit from an ad­ ditional 16 hours of police protection per week as a result of council action taken Thursday. The council agreed to hire an additional part-time police officer after residents at the last meeting protested that the village didn’t have enough police protection. Their con­ cerns stemmed from the fact that there was no officer on duty Sept. 5, the day of the Eaton Federal Savings and Loan robbery. Although at that time the citizens — Eaton Federal teller Cathy Felder, her mother Shirley Toman and business owner Bobbie Weller — had requested an additional two mills be levied for added full time police coverage, the council instead voted to hire the part-time officer. The action by the council was based on a recommenda­ tion of the council’s police committee to increase day coverage, especially every Friday, by transferring $5,000 from the general government miscellaneous fund to the police fund. That move puts a total of $8,000 in the police fund for part-time police help. “We can not absolutely every day guarantee there will be a policeman on duty,” said Village President John Hughes. “What we’re going to guarantee is this tranfer of funds, that we are going to try and provide coverage five dSiys a week. And definitly cover every Friday.” Friday was prioritized because officials felt criminals were most likely to target banks that day. Though the police commit­ tee did not cite how much time per week the part time officer would cover, Acting Police Chief Gene Koetje said it amounts to nearly 16 more hours coverage. “That would give us five days a week coverage and five nights a week coverage,” he said. Presently, Koetje and of­ ficer Walter Pincumbe work 56 hours night coverage and 24 hours day coverage each week, Koetje said, with a budget of $82,000 each year. During considerable discus­ sion on the matter prior to voting, car dealer Clatyon Boles suggested a curfew be passed in the village to keep troublesome teens off the streets. But Koetje claimed the measure would not be feasible because it would infringe on the teens rights to be on the public streets. “People have a right to walk down the street whether we like it or not,” Koetje said. Bobbie Weller, owner of Bobbie’s Unique Nail Shop, supported the idea of a curfew. “It’s not Safe to make a deposit at night anymore. What would be wrong with one (curfew) where all 18-year-olds have to be in by' at least one o’clock in the morning?” she said. Koetje argued that “teenagers have rights too.” Referring to the recommedation to hire a part-time officer, Koetje said finding _ part-time help is very difficult because many have other job“s. If you have a sickness at seven o’clock in the morning, what are you going to do?” he said. “You’re not going to bring somebody in here that quick most of the time. Parttime people are extremely hard to find.” Concerning Friday coverage, Koetje pointed out that some banks in the southern part of the state were possibly robbed by the same Eaton Federal perpetrator, and that none ofthe other rob­ beries occured on Friday. “Two were on Monday, two were on Tuesday and ours was on Friday, so I don’t think there is a lot of dif­ ference in my opinion of im­ portance between Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs­ day or Friday,” Koetje said. He added that “Ifwe put an officer on part time, full time or whatever, don’t think for a minute crime is going to stop. Crime is going to continue to go on until the end of time. It started at the dawn of record­ ed history and it’s going to continue. You’re not going to stop it because you can’t stop people. “People are going to steal, abuse each other, commit assaults, so forth and so on,” he continued. Koetje added that in the 15 years he has worked on the Nashville police force crime has chang­ ed little in that time. “From 74-79, we had three full-time officers,” Koetje said. “Right now, we’re handling more complaints and doing more work than we were during that period of time.” Koetje also noted that his department answers and responds to every complaint. “Our clearance rate and our conviction rate I will put along side any department in the United States and ours will be higher than most of them,” Koetje said. Still hoping the council would hire a third full-time officer, Cathy Felder asked members why a new cruiser must be purchased for the department every two years. “Because by buying that new car, your liability went Nashville Village Council members, (from left) Larry Filter, Marsha Ainslie, Carl Tobias, John Hughes and clerk Pam Godbey listen to suggestions from con­ cerned residents present. up and that extra money from liability could have went for a new officer, right?” she ask­ ed. “If the cruiser was good enough for Woodland, why couldn’t we use it?” Koetje explained that Woodland only patrols eight hours a week, while Nashville covers 80 hours a week. He also noted it has been proven that purchasing a new car every two years rather than paying maintenance costs is cheaper. Regarding the idea of levy­ ing special police protection millage, Hughes maintained that such action would not allow funds to be collected un­ til July 1, 1987. “Well at least you would know there was some com­ ing,” said Weller. “At least Gene would know eventually he’s going to get some money to work with.” Hughes said the council could raise general govern­ ment mills without a vote of the people, which would generate nearly $18,000 per year, but “it would not cover the cost ofhiring an additional officer.” Hughes added that, “We’ve discussed it and for the time being until the end of the POLICE, continued page 2 Acting Police Chief Gene Koetje addressed the citizens at the Thursday council meeting.

The group uses such instruments as guitars, hammer dulcimers, and of course, fiddles, and will entertain during the two hour jam session in the Pep­ permint Palace. Five o’clock marks chow time when the sesquicentennial committee will provide the hot dogs for a two hour roast and bon fire, committee chairperson Hildred Peabody said. “All we ask is that you br­ ing a dish to pass if you want something besides hot dogs,” she said, adding the public is welcome to attend at no cost. The party will really begin to swing at 7 p.m. when it becomes time for more music plus square dancing. The event closes out a year long celebration of the an­ niversary of the founding of Vermontville 150 years ago, with events held earlier this year including an extra special sugaring off party in February, an historic homes tour in June, and an “Old Timers Weekend” in July. “We spread out the acCELEBRATION, cont. page 2 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, September 30, 1986 — Page 2 Wolff selected M.V.

Before becoming superintendent of the Nashville schools, Wolff was at one time an accountant, and later taught junior high math, science and history for the Laketon Schools in Muskegon. During his two years there, Wolff was also a bus driver. In the Hersey Township Schools near Reed Cjty, Wolff was superintendent of the kindergarten through eighth grade system and then became the principal of Bloomingdale High School for one year. Later, Wolff was superintendent of the Bancroft Community Schools for two years. After less than one year in Nashville, the Vermontville and Nashville schools agreed to consolidate the system to become the Maple Valley Schools, Wolff recalled. During his time at Maple Valley, Wolff has seen numerous changes, including the discontinuation of a number of school programs due to lack of binding. “We’ve had a program that we built up real well and then because of a lack of funds, there was a heavy reduction in the program, reduction in staff which eliminates various educational programs,” Wolff said. “So then for­ tunately last June the millage was approved and it meant developing those programs again.” The return to five class periods instead of six at the junior-senior high school, the problem for you!

She said the first settlers from Vermont actually purchased the land in Vermontville May 27, 1836, and drew lots to learn who could purchase farms of 160 acres and town lots of 10 acres on the first Monday in October, 1836. The cost for each person’s 160 acres of wooded wilderness and 10 acres of colony land was $212.50, Peabody said. With that, the new settlers were named members of the Vermontville Colony. “I think the entire celebra­ tion has gone nicely,” Peabody said. “And activities like the clearing of the old cemetery all worked out very well.” For further information, call 517-726-0016. froeincstoatepmpent of eplepmp entauryv physical education and music, and counselors for all levels are some improvements made this year, he said. “There have been more positive things happen than the adverse things that have happened,” he said. “Overall it’s been an enjoyably career thus far in education.” In his spare time, Wolff said he enjoys golfing, gardening, boating and camp­ ing with his family.

To­ day, we focus on the issue of Monday, October 3, 1932, and hope the stories evoke an abundance of happy memories for our readers who were students of that era. ■ formant, Nashville high school paper, began Friday morning, Sept. 16, at 8:30 o’clock with the polls opening in Superintendent Wallace’s office. The regular officers who had charge of the voting and halls were as follows: Clerks, Feme Schulze, Agnes Foster; Ballot man, Maurice Purchis; Policeman, Russell Partridge, Meryl Scott, Laurence Hecker, Kenneth Sage, Albert Bell; Tellers, Miss Wood, Pauline Douse, Gerald Cole, Garry Young, Lucille Webb, Clarence Allen, • Mary Hickey, Helen Liebhauser, Albert Mix. There were two parties. One of the Cheatem party, having as its campaign manager Kenneth Roscoe. Its candidate for editor was a senior girl, Jean Roe. Its can­ didates for yell leaders were Vada Belson, a senior, and Junior Purchis, a freshman. The Chiselem party was managed by Russell Partidge, and had selected equally strong candidates. It favored a junior, Gerald Pratt, for editor, and its preference for yell leaders were Leva Webb, sophomore, and Charles Green, freshman. Favor was nearly equal for each of the candidates, and the race was a close one. Roe won the election, car­ rying a majority of 30 votes, 86 having been case for her. Webb and Purchis carried the election for yell leaders. Greatest Foreign Atten­ dance In Years... Out of the total high school enrollment of 144, 69 are non-residents, representing eighteen rural schools. The grades have eight non-residents, bringing the total up to 77. There are eight from other high schools: Grand Rapids, Bellevue, Bat­ tle Creek, Chicago, Otter Lake, Middleville, Jackson and Joliet, Ill. Muskmelons! Any place on Main Street or within specified boundaries in the village was a fair hiding spot for the senior class in the annual Jr.-Sr. Hunt, a long-standing tradition at Nashville High School. If found by the juniors within a certain time, the seniors had to provide a reward feast (at a later date), but if they remained successfully concealed, the upperclassmen were treated by the juniors. The annual Hunt was a popular autumn event at NHS during the first half of this century. Nashville High School's annual Community Agricultural-Home Economics Fair was another popular fall tradition during the first half of the 20th century. The October 3, 1932, issue of the high school paper, the Informant, spelled out plans by the Board of Education to make the event a "decided success". In those days the fair was held in a Main Street store building or in the opera house, before the 1936 Kellogg expansion added a gymnasium-auditorium to the school, seen here circa-1920s. Watermelons!... Did you ever see so many or eat so many or smell so many? The seniors felt kind-hearted last Thursday aftgemoon, and as a result they fed muskmelon and watermelon to the freshmen all they could hold, and more. The muskmelons were donated by Wallace Graham, a member of the senior class. There were enough to feed the teachers, football players, sophomores, juniors, and the seniors took many with them on their party that night. The remnants of this muskmelon party were still seen around the schoolhouse Monday, but they are a thing of the past now. Senior Activities Start Year With A Bang... The first senior class party was held Thursday evening, Sept. 15, taking the form of an “out-of-door feed.” Out of the thirty-one members of the class about twenty-six were present, which was unusual. Each one brought whatever he wanted to eat - all of them brought something to roast over the three bonfires that the boys built. After filling our stomaches sufficiently, we played games such as tug o’ war, hide and seek, and three deep. Senior class officers are Wallace Graham, president; Louis Hickey, vice president; Lovelie Lorbeck, secretary; and Albert Mix, treasurer. Junior News... The juniors started the year off right by having a fried-cake sale, Sept. 10, to reimburse their rather low financial status. Due to the fact that there wasn’t suffi­ cient time to advertise, the sale wasn’t as much of a suc­ cess as it could have been. However, a rather nice sum was gained, and it started the path to further success at later attempts. The juniors have plenty of enthusiasm and school spirit this year, and are'going in for things in a big way. Russell Patridge has been elected class president, Albert Bell, treasurer; Ivan Babcock, vice president; and Gerald Pratt, secretary. Sophs Elect Officers and Enjoy Party... The sophomores held their first class meeting Sept. 15. The following class officers were chosen for this year: Virginia Rothaar, president; Carl Brown, vice president; Lucille Goodson, secretary and treasurer. The sophomores are very sorry to lose a good friend and classmate, Emma Jane Kleinhans, who moved to East Lansing. A sophomore party was given as a farewell to her, at the home of Virginia Rothaar. The evening was spent playing hide and go seek and other games, after which refreshments consisting of fruit salad and cake were served. " Freshmen News... Hear or see anything unusual Friday night? No doubt you did, for the freshmen had a grand ol’ time playing Red Rover and Hide and Go Seek at L.G. Cole’s that evening. Apparently one ducking in the river wasn’t enough for those silly sophs, for the freshies hold them responsible for carrying away six quarts of their ice cream... Class officers are Jack Smith, president; Pauline Nesbit, vice president; Margaret Hickey, secretary and treasurer. Nashville Smears Lake Odessa, Score 12 to 7... By brilliant offensive running with the ball, Nashville’s backfield found Lake Odessa an easy mark in the game played last Friday on their field. Navue and Hickey were the yardage-gainers for Nashville, and Gage played an excellent defensive game by backing up the line. For most of the players, this game was the first in which they figured, as we only have five letter men of last year back in the line-up. Smith and Roe played good games at the quarterback position. Our line constantly opened up holes in the opposing line. Toward the end of the game our team became overconfident in their twotouchdown lead, and Lake Odessa scored a touchdown and made the extra point good. There was a fair representa­ tion from the students, but next game should see a better student following, as it is a home game with Middleville. Boy Scouts Witness StateAlma Game... Nearly thirty Boy Scouts and their Scout­ master from Nashville Troop 77 were guests of Michigan State College Saturday, Sept. 24, to see the Michigan StateAlma football game. It was the ninth annual Boy Scout Day sponsored by the college. Frank Green took the boys to East Lansing in his truck. State swamped Alma entire­ ly by a score of 93 to 0. At the halfthe Scouts staged a parade with many flags and several drum and bugle corps and a comic band.... This was the first game of the season for either college. State used mostly second and third strong players, but the Scouts saw such stars as Monett, Kowatch, Jones, Miers and Vandermeer in some of the action... The game was very one-sided, State being altogether too strong for Alma. Sluggers Are Out For Fall Practice... Of one happens to look behind the school house at noon time, one may see the Nashvulle Sluggers, (i.e. girls’ indoor baseball team) hard at practice. Their “Coach” Smith tried to schedule a full game with Sun­ field, but that town, knowing how strong a team the Slug­ gers are, passed up the chance to play. Nevertheless if the team keeps in practice, next spring may see some interesting games between the Sluggers and other towns. Frosh vs. Sophs In Fall Games... A new feature was inaugurated Friday, Sept. 16, at the ball park, by the celebration of the first annual freshman-sophomore Class Day. This event was started to do away with the old unorganized initiations, but still retain some of their excitement. Contests included a flag rush, tie-up event, relay and bag races, kick-ball, sand-bag carrying, and tug-of-war across the Thomapple River in . which the sophomores gradually yielded and were unmercifully drawn through the river by the jubilant freshmen. Arlie A. Reed, the athletic coach, acted as referee, being assisted by some ofthe faculty and upper-classmen. There was a good attendance ofboth high school students and townspeople.

The Joppies, who live at 8428 Mt. Hope Hwy., Vermontville, have lived all their married years on the same farm. Mr. and Mrs. Joppie have six .children, 21 grandchildren, and 27 great-grandchildren. Leonard is a retired farmer and school bus driver, having driven over 25 years for the Vermontville, Maple Valley and Lakewood districts. Mrs. Joppie is a former 4-H knitting leader and had been active in extension work, the Bismark Ladies Group, and enjoys many crafts. She knits many pairs of mittens for area mitten trees at Christmastime. Until the last few years, their large garden and flowers were a neighborhood attraction. A family party is being planned. A card shower has been suggested — 8428 Mt. Hope Hwy., Vermontville, Ml 49096. . The Maple Valley Educa­ tion Association and the board ofeducation have both ratified a new master contract agree­ ment for teachers that gives them a 17 percent pay hike over the next three years. Both sides bargained the contract for more than 100 hours, beginning in late April and ending with board ratification Sept. 22. Currently the pay scale of­ fers beginning teachers with bachelors degrees $14,810 the first year, MVEA Chief Negotiator John Hughes said. Those with bachelors degrees plus 20 added hours of study receive $15,410; those with masters degrees get $15,985 to start; masters plus 20 make $16,560 at first; and specialists receive $17,135, said Hughes. With the new agreement, those figures are increased by roughly five percent the first year (1986-87), approximate­ ly five and one half percent the second year (1987-88) and six and one half percent the third year, said Hughes. He said the settlement also provides the teachers with a more complete insurance package, including vision coverage for the first time. Hughes said another added benefit is the formation of a new “Professional Development Fund” containing $9,500 each year to be used for teacher conferences and other development for the professional staff. “That’s a really nice thing because we need to do those types of things,” Hughes said. He added the contract is the first three year settlement bet­ ween the board and teachers. “The longest we’ve had in the past was two years,” he said. MVEA President Sharlot Sours said when the teachers ratified the tentative agree­ ment Thursday, Sept. 18, most seemed pleased with the deal. ‘ We made some Training offered to adult volunteer tutors Maple Valley Community Education is offering a tutor training workshop for those people who are interested in helping an adult learn how to read. The workshop will include four sessions beginning on Monday, Oct. 6 from 6:15-9:15 p.m. and continue October 13, 20 and 27. It will be held at Maple Valley Jr. Sr., High School. There will be a fee for the materials. The materials to be used will be from the Literacy Volunteers of America. Illiteracy affects all of us. If you have an hour or more a week to donate, you can help solve the illiteracy program by tutoring an adult who can­ not read, write, or spell as well as yourself.

Call the Community Educa­ tion Office at 852-9275 or your local library. breakthroughs for future negotiations,” she said prior to the board’s ratification vote, meaning some of the items agreed upon should not have to be negotiated at the end of the threee year agreement. At one point after the two sides had met more than 10 times without settlement, the group had authorized a work stoppage if a suitable offer was not made by the board at its Sept. 8 meeting. After three hours oftalking, the board met with the teacher's bargaining team, comprised of Sours, Hughes, Ward Rooks and Nancy Pot­ ter, when the tentative agree­ ment was reached. — NOTICE — Sign up now for a ...

And as long as the other 37 Senators are working all day, everyday to look out for their districts, you need someone whose sole concern is the people in our part of the state. Detroit has a half dozen full-time Senators looking after its best interests. If Mid-Michigan’s concerns are to get a fair hearing in Lansing, we need an experienced, effective, full-time Senator. You can judge what kind of Senator Richard Fitzpatrick will be by looking at the kind of job he’s done in the House of Representatives. And there he is recognized as one of the most effective, outspoken leaders in Michigan. He’s a real citizen-politician whose full-time commitment has been serving his constituents. More than 35 of his bills have become law. He led efforts to reform Blue Cross/Blue Shield; he was instrumental in forming a coalition that resulted in improving the business climate by lowering Worker’s Compensation rates; he has spearheaded an effort to bring major economic development to our area. Fitzpatrick has an extensive program to stay in touch with his constituents. He has a toll-free “Hot Line to Lansing” so people can call the Capitol without charge (and NOTat taxpayer expense). He set up a downtown, store-front District Service Office. He has held frequent meetings, public forums and open office hours in Ttwnship halls. Fitzpatrick has a proven record of working full-time to get things done for people like us. $36,000 a year is a lot to pay an employee—make sure you get your money’s worth. Make sure you get Richard Fitzpatrick. He’ll earn every penny. Rep. Richard FITZP3TRICK for Senate Paid for by the Fitzpatrick Senate Campaign. P.O. Box 1986. Battle Creek. Michigan 49016.

VERMONTVILLE SENIOR CITIZENS NIGHT The last thine you need now is a problem with insurance that doesn’t offer guaranteed home replacement cost coverage. Insurance means 100% assurance, right? Wrong. Sometimes it doesn’t. Although you wouldn’t live in half of a home—that might be all the limits of coverage your present home insurance gives you. Auto-Owners doesn’t agree with that. They believe that homeowners insurance should ideally protect and replace 100% of your home. Because anything less, isn’t 100% protection. The Guaranteed Home Replacement Cost Coverage is from your “no problem” Auto-Owners agent. Ask him if your home qualifies, and find out what 100% peace-of-mind is all about.

The leaves turn beautiful golds, reds, browns, and oranges. They fall off the trees and float majestically to the ground. In years past after they collected on the ground, I would wait until my parents raked them into piles and then I’d jump from pile to pile. Now that I'm older autumn reminds me of a romantic evening near a warm crackl­ ing fire with a cup ofhot cider and the man of my dreams. It also means the beginning of football season .and school. Football means friends, fun, and hopes for the future. Along with the thoughts of fun comes the thoughts of harvest. Autumn harvest time means late nights, hard work, late suppers, comuting yields, and tired farmers. Autumn makes me aware of animals. The regal deer who seem to appear from now where, rabbits hopping, quickly about and squirrels running back and -forth sear­ ching for a home and food for the winter. Then at last it happens, at first it may be a light frost found on a pumpkin or a car but then,the first snow flies. Soon after that autumn disap­ pears and winter takes its place.

These volunteers share their skills and experience by assisting young people in a variety of 4-H projects and activities. Volunteers do not have to be experts in specialized sub­ ject matter areas, according to Thelen. They can rely on the Cooperative Extension Ser­ vice at Michigan State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide them with training, educational materials and resources to use in the 4-H program. “The land-grant system makes 4-H uniquely qualifed to meet both the con- stant and ever-changing needs growth and stimulation for of young and older people adults and helps them attain alike,” said Thelen. enjoyment- and selfThe 4-H volunteer corps is fullfilment,” Thelen said.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 115 - No.12 — Tuesday, October 7, 1986 Auction to be held to benefit opera house repairs by Shelly Sulser Citizens hoping to put the Vermontville Opera House back in commission plan to hold an auction next week to raise funds for building repairs. The Oct. 15 sale gets under­ way at 5:30 p.m. at the Ver­ montville Fire Barn, said Opera House Restoration Committee Chairperson Pat O'Dell. O’Dell said articles to be auctioned that day will in­ clude a wide range of items donated by community residents. “We’ll have everything,” she said. “You name it, we’ll have everything we can get our hands on.” Adding that the sale will be conducted by local auc­ tioneers and realtors, the Stan­ tons, O’Dell said that the auc­ tion will continue until everything is sold. The fundraiser is not the on­ ly means of seeking funds for the estimated $47,307 in repairs for the historic struc­ ture, however. Vermontville Township voters will be asked in next month’s general elec­ tion to approve a one mill tax increase for four years in order to help return die South Main Street building to a satisfactory state. “We’re just showing them (the township) that we’re try­ ing to do something else in case the millage doesn’t pass,” said O’Dell. “We’re not just leaving it in the hands ofthe voters. We wish it were that easy.” O’Dell said her group wants to generate enough money through the millage and fun­ draisers to make the Opera House a safe place to hold plays, dances and other com­ munity events. “It will die if we don’t,” she said. O’Dell said the cur­ rent structure is deteriorating and it is feared the village library, housed in its base­ ment, will be forced out ofthe building if it is allowed to con­ tinue unkept. In August, the committee released a list ofcost estimates for the needed repairs in­ cluding electrical wiring, han­ dicap bathrooms and lift, stage lights, front doors, win­ dows, drapes, banquet tables and chairs, plastering and painting, fire excape door, stair railings, metal grids, fur- nace upkeep, maintenance person and supplies which totaled more than $47,000. The auction, said O’Dell, is headed by Judy Bayha of Ver­ montville and will be moved inside the fire barn in case of rain.

The coverage in the village will be an Oct. 1, 1986 to Oct. 1, 1987 premium. Village President Sue Villanueva proclaimed the week of October 13 as Senior Citizen’s Week in Vermont­ ville. On the evening of Oc­ tober 13, the Vermontville Lions Club plans to have a special dinner and program for the seniors. The council also discussed possible ways to discourage youngsters from vandalizing the village water tower, in­ cluding putting a fence around it. But trustee Rod Harmon said if a fence is constructed and a subject falls from it while trying to climb it, the village would still be responsi­ ble. He added the tower switch box is also being tampered with and some type of deterrent is needed there as well. No decision was made concerning either problem. In other discussion, Ramey noted a resident of West First Street has complained that the street is lower than the sidewalk that crosses his driveway and that he would like the village to repair it. Ramey said die cost for the work would be about $468.42 total, and that if the property owner and another nearby resident with the same pro­ blem would split the cost with the village, the cost would be $156.14 for each. Ramey added that since she came up with the estimates, she had not been able to con­ tact the property owner, Keith Moore. “I don’t think we should take action until we contact the property owner,” Villanuevg said. Villanueava reported that lattice around several trees on the downtown sidewalks has been vandalized and needs to be replaced. “It’s getting too expensive to keep replacing them,” Villanueva noted. No action was taken. She also announced that a committee from the council plans to attend the Oct. 21 meeting of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Association to discuss the annual Maple Syrup Festival. Some council members feel the village is losing money on the famous April event and plan to present their concerns to the festival corporation. Matt McClelland, Carmen Hamilton reign as M.V. King and Queen The junior varsity and freshman teams rode in the parade. Maple Valley High School seniors Matt McClelland and Carmen Hamilton were nam­ ed the 1986 king and queen at homecoming activities Friday night. Other activities included parade float competition prior to the Lions’ 7-0 victory over the Bronson Vikings, with the senior float taking first place. With the parade theme of “Catch the Lion Wave,” the seniors’ float featured a Lion atop a wave, while a Viking sits on the beach. Winning second in the con­ test was the junior float, with a Lion on a surfboard on a wave. The sophomore float of a Lion standing on a wave was the third place float and the freshman float took fourth. Also in the parade was Ver­ montville Maple Syrup Queen Deanna Hampton and Michelle Dickinson of the court, as well as the Lion junior varsity football team, the school Spanish club, girl scouts, FFA, the Maple Valley High School Band, and many more. Having a special seat in the parade was grand marshal, Carroll Wolff and wife Marge. Grand Marshal Carroll Wolff and his wife, Marge, are introduced to the halftime crowd.

Shaw, 47, has been ap­ pointed to fill the remaining year-and-a-half term of retired Barry County Probate Court Judge Richard N. Loughrin. Democratic Governor James J. Blanchard telephon­ ed Shaw with the news Sept. 29 and told him that support of Shaw’s appointment by local community members played a part in the governor’s decision to appoint him. Shaw also received a unanimous endorsement from the Barry County Bar Association and several other local organizations, and was even given a vote of approval by the Hastings City Council and the Nashville Village Council. “The governor'said he was looking at a large stack of let- ters various people in Barry County had sent him supporting my candidacy and he was impressed with them,” Shaw said of the telephone conversation. “He also commented on my background in all areas of the llaw and my involvement in the community,” Shaw said. Shaw was one of two at­ torneys applying for the position. The other, Nashville lawyer Carol Dwyer, has been a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party and was considered a strong contender for the position. “Shaw had a tremendous amount of experience,’’ Gregory Morris, director of personnel for Blanchard, said. “When you weigh all of the factors in this case, it came out in Shaw’s favor. Experience was certainly a major factor.” A review committee from the State Bar o^^Mi.chigan evaluates all nominees for judicial appointments,, Morris gy explained.. “We don’t publicly,indicate what the evaluafotf«Avas,” Morris said. No minees are given one of five rfnkings, fnking in­ cluding “extremely well qualified well aualified”, “qualified”, “not qualified” and “not qualified due to lack of experience.” Local citizens were surprised that Blanchard made the appointment prior to the November general election, in which he is seeking his second term of office as governor. “Under normal circumstances, our gut reaction would be to hold the appointment until, after the election” for fear of alienating supporters, Morris said. But, he said, his office couldn’t wait that long because of a backlog in How can a multiple car family minimize insurance costs? No problem.

Shaw is tentatively schedul­ ed to be sworn in Oct. 24 by Barry Circuit Court Judge Richard Shuster. In the meantime, he will have to give up his partnership with the Hastings law firm of Siegel, Hudson, Gee, Shaw and Fisher. Attorneys for that firm will not be allowed to practice in front of Shaw for two years, Shaw said. The firm has a large probate practice, Shaw said, so arrangements have been made with the district court judge to exchange some duties when the need arises. Shaw will also no longer act as legal representative for the City of Hastings. He has served as city attorney since 1973. He is a former assistant pro­ secuting attorney, a former school board member, and an active participant in many community activities. His duties will include presiding over both the juvenile and probate divisions of the court. Shaw said prior to his appointment that he’s always had an interest in children and that was one of the reasons he sought the judgeship. Shaw said outgoing Judge Loughrin set “a good example” of what a probate judge should be and Shaw hopes to carry on some of Loughrin’s methods. “Judge Loughrin in my Evening Worship 6 p.m. Wednesday Evening: Prayer Meeting . 7 p.m. REV.

For the last two years, the FFA organization at Maple Valley had deteriorated almost beyond the point of repair. There was no involve­ ment, no encouragement, no growth or progress made. On­ ly a lot of fighting. It was frustrating to the few members who did want in­ volvement and commitment. I believe the biggest problem was a lack of guidence, responsible leadership and lack of support; things that are greatly needed for an organization has done more than was accomplished over a two year period. It has gone from a depressing and non­ functional group to a very ac­ tive group of young people. There has been a softball game, a car wash, a float for the homecoming parade, a hayride, a flower bulb sale and the chapter is attempting to get enough donations to make the trip to the National Convention in Kansas City. This group is on the move and great progress is being made and I am confident more is to come. This community and this chapter is very fortunate to have the needed leadership, guidence and commitment that is found in the new ad­ visor, Gordon Swinson. It is long over due! He is making it possible for these young peo­ ple to shine in their own way. All those who have made contributions toward the trip should be proud. By donating, it proves there is room in this community and a need to sup­ port a variety of school organizations. Again whoever is responsi­ ble for obtaining Mr. Swin­ son, many FFA members and their parents are grateful. And a big Thank-you to Mr. Swin­ son for accepting the challenge!

Township clerk Janice Baker said transfer board members Nelson Rasey and Monte Allen told the township board that a flat fee of $2,500 plus 35 percent of operational costs would provide township residents with reduced priced dumping fees. Baker said the men told the board the money would be us­ ed to build a new dumping bay to handle the added Vermont­ ville trash volume. “We thought $2,500 sound­ ed steep,” said Baker. “If we should decide to pull out (of the deal) later on, they would still have the new bay and we would be out the money.” Although the township was approached last month with a similar proposition, Baker said their (the transfer board’s) offer was different at the Sept. 25 meeting. At the August meeting, Township board members were asked to become members of the transfer recycling board. But at last month’s meeting, “They said if they kept get­ ting two people on the board from every township there would be too many people on the board,” Baker said. “They’ve withdrawn their of­ fer to be on the board and the prices are different.” The transfer board first decided to ask Vermontville village and township officials ifthey would like to join them in the operation of the Nashville dump site after the Vermontville site was closed July 12 due to lack of funds and participation. Tranfer board members said their site realized a large increase in volume after the Vermontville refuse disposal site closed. “Before we were doing good to get up to $100 on a Saturday,” Allen previously told the Vermontville council. “Now we’re up to $200 and $300.” The council at that time made no decision on the mat­ ter either, saying because the Maple Valley Parent­ Teacher conferences All parents in the Maple Valley school district are en­ couraged to attend parent­ teacher conferences scheduled to be held on Wednesday, Oct. 15 (1-4 p.m,); Thursday, Oct. 16 (1-4 and 6-8 p.m.); and Friday, Oct. 17 (1-3 p.m.). School will be in ses­ sion in the morning on each of these days. Conferences at the Jr.-Sr. High School will be held in the gymnasium. National Honor Society members will be distributing report cards to parents as they enter the gym. Report cards not obtained at parent-teacher conferences will be distributed to students on Monday, Oct. 20. Attendance at a parent­ teacher conference allows for interaction between each stu­ dent’s teacher and their parent. The information and insight which is generated from such a conference is very beneficial to everyone in­ volved in attempting to give each child the best possible education. It also indicates to the student that people are tru­ ly interested in his/her education.

Village President Sue Villanueva said the council would meet with the township to discuss the matter, but no date for that meeting has been set. Currently, the Nashville site is operated by the four governmental units of Maple Grove Township, Castleton Township and Nashville village with each contributing about $4,000 per year to operate the site. Each unit has two representatives who serve as the transfer recycling sta­ tion board.

Remember The Auction — Wednesday — October 15 • 5:30 PM At the Fire Barn ALL PROCEEDS GO THE THE Vermontville Opera House �The Maple Volley News, Nashville. Tuesday, October 7, 1986 — Poge 8 Lions upset unbeaten Bronson 7-0; SMAA race now in turmoil It’s practically tradition that Southern the Michigan Athletic Association feature an out-and-out dogfight for its yearly football championship. And this fall might offer the wildest fight to the finish in the league’s four-year existence. Right in the midst of the battle is Maple Valley, which took a giant step in winning its second title in three years last Friday with a narrow 7-0 upset of unbeaten Bronson. The Lion win leaves four teams virtually tied for first place with three weeks left in the season. Maple Valley and Bronson are currently 3-1 while Springfield and Pennfield are both 2-1. Lion Coach Guenther Mitteistaedt said the race is up for grabs, but that one clear favorite does emerge among the four teams. “It means Bronson, Pennfield, Springfield and us have one loss,” said Mittelstaedt, whose team appeared out of downs. Bronson’s best chance to score came at the end of the game when the Vikings were stopped at the 4 with 1:20 remaining. Mittelstaedt said the game was all defense — especially Lion-style. “We played good; we were real strong,” he said. “It helped that they weren’t able to throw because of the weather, but we were pumped up and played our best game of the year. “Our defense was just super. I’ve seen improvement each week after Fowler. It’s been a little better each week and last Friday night we were super.” The Lions held Bronson to a mere 6 first downs and 10 yards through the air on l-of-5 completions. Bronson did rush for 149 yards, but could mount only the one real scoring threat. Maple Valley, meanwhile, wasn’t setting the world on the race two weeks ago after losing to Springfield. “There isn’t really a clear favorite, but if any team is the favorite it would be Bronson because they’ve played Springfield, Pennfield and us.” The Lions (3-2 overall) have only to beat Pennfield and Olivet to at least clinch a share of the title, but Mittelstaedt said the job won’t be easy. “In our league there aren’t any soft spots,” he said. The only scoring play in last Friday’s defensive struggle came at the 5:31 mark of the third quarter when Glenn Ew­ ing connected with Brian Ainsworth for a 25 yard TD pass. The play climaxed a 13-play, 62-yard drive highlighted by the rushing of Matt Owen and George Sleinbrecher. Maple Valley’s only other opportunity to score came in the fourth period when the Lions moved to the 14, but eventually lost the ball on MEMBERS OF THE BARRYEATON BOARD OF REALTORS & THE MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE MAPLE VALLEY Real Estate 227 N.

The Lions rushed for 84 yards and pass­ ed for 28 more. Ewing, seeing his first action at quarterback in three weeks, completed 2-of-3 passes while JeffFisher missed on all three of his attempts. A key to the game was that Maple Valley failed to make a single turnover while the Vik­ ings were guilty of three. “We fumbled a couple of times, but we scrambled around enough to get the ball,” said Mittelstaedt. “It wasn’t like to always had our hands on the ball.” Greg Flower led the Lion defense with 13 tackles while Dan Kellogg had 9 and Steinbrecher 8.

Lion eagers upend Bronson 58-48 to solidify hold on first place The Maple Valley Lion girls varsity placed a firm grip on the SMAA basketball race Wednesday by defeating once beaten Bronson 58 to 48 in the Viking gym. The win puts Valley solidly in first place 2 games ahead of Bronson. The Lions weathered a shaky start trailing 16-21 by the middle of the second quarter but used their defense to take the lead 24-23 at the half. Bronson never regained the advantage but kept the Lions working hard. The visitors outscored the Vikings 10-2 early in the third quarter then allowed Bronson to return the favor ending the quarter with a slim 37-35 edge. Neither team helped themselves at the free-throw line. Valley hit 11 of 20 and Bronson netted 12 of 20 but the Lions used the charity stripe to best advantage in the final quarter netting 8 of 14 to help seal the victory. Sheri Forell hit 6 of 8 from the freethrow line for the night scor­ ing 5 in the fourth quarter. Kelly Hoefler made the big difference in the Lion victory. All 10 of her points were scored in the final stanza. Dawn Morawski and Beth Starring also scored 10 points each. Sheri Forell led all scorers with 20 points and 11 assits.

Nearly 100 sixth grade students from Maplewood and Kellogg schools attended sixth grade camp at Barry County’s Long Lake last week. “One major reason we have She said it also gives the camp is that it provides a good time for the sixth graders to students an outdoor exget to know each other perience, with various acbecause they’re from the dif-tivities that included recreaferent schools,’’ said Kellogg tional classes, nature hiking, nature study, arts and crafts, Principal Joy Frith. K-9 Klub member Carrie McCandlish, left, talks with camper Pat Kerby about her shetland sheepdog. canoeing and demonstrations. “It was raining but we had a good time,” said Frith. “The students didn’t seem to mind it (the rain) at all.” One demonstration was by Bill Johnson of the Barry County Sheriff’s Department Water Rescue Team. He showed the students how he uses his skin diving suit and gear to conduct underwater searches and rescues. On another night, the Barry County 4-H K-9 Klub, headed by Jo Beth Bridleman, showed the students how dogs are trained and used for obe­ dience, showmanship and as leader dogs. Frith said a new activity for the students this year was to keep a journal of camp ac­ tivities. The students later had to turn them in to their teachers to be graded. Accompanying students at the camp were teachers Steve Slag, Vicky Polanski, Sandra Briggs, Tim Byrnes and Mary Valiek. Also on hand were cooks Techla Snow and Kay Flowers, nurse Linda Boldrey and 12 high school student counselors. “Even though it rained the chidren had a good time,” Frith said.

When you pay someone to work for you, you expect to get your money’s worth. Michigan has a full-time legislature. And as long as the other 37 Senators are working all day, everyday to look out for their districts, you need someone whose sole concern is the people in our part of the state. Detroit has a half dozen full-time Senators looking after its best interests. If Mid-Michigan’s concerns are to get a fair hearing in Lansing, we need an experienced, effective, full-time Senator. You can judge what kind of Senator Richard Fitzpatrick will be by looking at the kind ofjob he’s done in the House of Representatives. And there he is recognized as one of the most effective, outspoken leaders in Michigan. He’s a real citizen-politician whose full-time commitment has been serving his constituents. More than 35 of his bills have become law. He led efforts to reform Blue Cross/Blue Shield; he was instrumental in forming a coalition that resulted in improving the business climate by lowering Wbrker’s Compensation rates; he has spearheaded an effort to bring major economic development to our area. Fitzpatrick has an extensive program to stay in touch with his constituents. He has a toll-free “Hot Line to Lansing” so people can call the Capitol without charge (and NOTat taxpayer expense). He set up a downtown, store-front District Service Office. He has held frequent meetings, public forums and open office hours in Tbwnship halls. Fitzpatrick has a proven record of working full-time to get things done for people like us. $36,000 a year is a lot to pay an employee—make sure you get your money’s worth. Make sure you get Richard Fitzpatrick. He’ll earn every penny. Rep. Richard FITZPATRICK for Senate Paid for by the Fitzpatrick Senate Campaign. P.O. Box 1986. Battle Creek. Michigan 49016 �The Mople Valley Newt, Nashville, Tuesday, October 7, 1986 — Page 12 House plan would reduce propety tax and increase school funding A plan to lower property taxes and increase state fun­ ding for Michigan schools has been introduced in the Michigan House. The proposal (HJR-X) would increase the state sales tax from 4 to 5 percent, ear­ mark the additional one per­ cent for an Educational Trust Fund and cap school property taxes at about 15 mills. Under the plan extra voted millage that schools request from taxpayers every few years would be eliminated. This proposal would earmark three sources of state funding for eduction: 30 percent ofthe state general fund budget, one cent of the proposed five cent sales tax and lottery earnings. Revenues from all three sources would be placed in a trust account, then each public school would receive the pro­ rated amount for each child at­ tending school. There has been a great deal of discussion in the Legislature over ways to reduce the property tax burden on the Michigan citizens. This proposal does just that. If this resolution becomes law, it is estimated schools would get more money per student than they get now, and taxpayers would save 40 to 50 percent in pro­ perty taxes annually. This goal would be accomplished by eliminating the added posi­ tions in state government that handle these forms and audits. It would also be achieved by shifting the tax burden to in­ clude everyone, not just pro­ perty owners. The resolution’s sponsors also estimate that several hun­ dred million dollars in in­ creased revenue would come from out of state tourists in the form of sales tax. A House committee will study the proposal in the com­ ing weeks. Michigan voters would have the opportunity to say yes or no to the plan in the 1988 election if it receives legislative approval. “Repeat Offender and Career Criminal Act” In­ troduced in House A major new approach to combating crime, the “Repeat Offender and Career Criminal Act,” was recently introduced in the Michigan House. House Bills 5817 and 5818 would create a comprehensive law dealing with repeat of­ fenders and provide extensive recourse for the justice sytem. Under the act, a career criminal, if convicted, would be subject to flat sentences with no reduction for any reason, mandatory minimum prison time and restrictions or denial ofbail before trial. Therepeat offender would also Phone... 726-0330 69 BEAUTY SHOP 157 South Main Vermontville, Michigan 49096 YOUR FAMILY HAIR CARE CENTER face the right of individuals to appeal the granting of bail, and consecutive rather than concurrent sentences for multiple crimes. In addition, prosecutors would be notified of any parole consideration and granted the right to appear before the parole board before a prisoner is released. Studies show that 80 per­ cent of all crimes are commit­ ted by 20 percent of the criminals. This act is designed to provide the criminal justice system with the means to more effectively reduce the impact of the career criminal. There are more than 600,000 serious felonies com­ mitted in Michigan every year. A recent study com­ pleted for the U.S. Depart­ ment of Justice showed that Michigan ranks third behind California and Texas in the percentage of criminals who are arrested for repeated crimes within three years after being released from prison. Fifty-three percent of the criminals surveyed in Michigan were arrested for new crimes within 36 months of their release. Another recent national study concluded that longer sentences for career criminals would do more to reduce crime and not overburden the limited prison capacity, as op­ posed to giving shorter, man­ datory sentences to more first­ time offenders. Comprehensive Legislation On Alzheimer’s Disease Introduced House Republicans recently unveiled a legislative package on Alzheimer’s Disease that would allow non-profit agen­ cies around Michigan to develop local services for those suffering from the syndrome. Under the bills, matching grants would be available to both public and private non­ profit community agencies for the development of adult day care, crisis intervention and home respite care. Three-year pilot projects would be funded — 75 percent by state dollars and 25 percent by local contributions. The program should pro­ duce volunteers that will pro­ vide respite care and coor­ dinate family, support groups. The low cost volunteer pro­ gram would relieve the burden of Alzheimer’s caregivers and would postpone or prevent institutionalization. Other bills in the package would: —create an income tax re­ fund checkoff for the Alzheimer’s Disease Com­ munity Grant Fund. The checkoff' would allow tax­ payers to designate $2 or more from a refund to the project. —create an Alzheimer’s Disease Registry. The data base would be used for research and sorting out the confusing symptoms and pro­ gression of the disease. —establish an Alzheimer’s Disease information and referral network to be ad­ ministered by the state Department of Public Health.

The council agreed Thurs­ day to adopt the ordinance, which will be retroactive to pre-existing conditions, a revision of the previous or­ dinance adopted in 1981. Village President John Hughes said dismantled cars on private property have been a problem in the village that was not resolved by the previous ordinance because it was not retroactive. “The old ordinance didn’t allow us to go after pre­ existing conditions,” Hughes said. “Once this ordinance goes into effect, then it becomes a current condition.” The new ordinance also allows inoperable registered motor vehicles to remain out­ side of an enclosed building for only 15 days, as compared to the previous 30 days, while dismantled unlicensed vehicles must be stored in wholly enclosed structures. In addition, no dismantled vehicles can be placed or parked on any street area in the village or in any yard, the ordinance states. Although penalty for viola­ tion of the ordinance remains the same, (a fine of $500 or not more than 90 days im­ prisonment or both), the new ordinance says that every day the violation continues con- Farewell open house planned to honor Bill and Martha Christensen stitutes a separate violation. “It’s been a problem of village wide interest,” said Hughes. “There’s . not an organized lobbying group say­ ing get rid ofthe junk cars but a variety of people I’ve talked to say, ‘you’ve got a problem, do something about it.’” Hughes added that to this point, the public has not been happy with how officials have dealt with the problem ofjunk cars in the village. “The grief I’ve taken over junk cars in this town in seven years has been immense,” Hughes said at the meeting. Now, with the new ordinance, “I think this gives us a very viable means of moving that stuff (junk) out. ” Hughes stated the ordinance will be enforced by the village police and violators will be prosecuted. “I think we (should) push it. Our attorneys are ready to go. If it means onward to court then it goes to court,” said Hughes. “The bottom .line .is you’ve got something you can use and I think it five years for maintenance should be (used).

Opera House auction set for Oct. 15 Bill and Martha Christensen of Vermontville will be honored at a farewell open house this Sunday at Vermontville Bible Church. The public is invited. A farewell open house to honor Bill and Martha Christensen will be held from 7-9 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 19 at Vermontville Bible Church in Vermontville. The public is invited to at­ tend and share in wishing them well as they settle into a new home in Grand Marais, Mi. The Christensen family moved to Vermontville in 1970 when Bill accepted the position of principal at Maplewood Elementary School. During the past 16 years, both Bill and Martha have generously given their time to school, church and community. Among Bill’s long list of volunteer contributions are serving as mayor of Vermont­ ville, president of the Ver­ montville Lions Club, volleyball and girls basketball coach at Maple Valley; treasurer, board member and choir director of Vermonvtville Bible Church; and soft­ ball coach. In addition to the ad­ ministrative duties at Maplewood, Bill has been in­ strumental in the development of the “Young Fives” and “Transition Room” pro­ grams. With Martha’s help, he has directed a traditional Christmas music program and created a sixth grade gradua­ tion ceremony. For many years, Bill and Martha have hosted the entire Maplewood staffin their home for a 7 a.m. egg, pancake and sausage Christmas breakfast. Along with raising their three children, Martha has been a substitute teacher, president of the Vermontville Women’s Club, volunteer volleyball coach as well as president of the Ladies Mis­ sionary Club and pianist at Vermontville Bible Church. Together, Bill and Martha were active members of the Vermontville Historical Society. They also gave a great deal of time, in suppor­ ting the Vermontville Syrup Festival, organizing the talent show, putting on melodramas at the opera house and serving pancakes for the Maple Valley Band Boosters. In August of 1986, Bill ac­ cepted the position of superintendent of Burt Township Schools. The cou­ ple’s new address will be P.O. Box 264, Grand Marais, Mi. 49839. “Your presence would be greatly appreciated at the open house,” said a spokesperson. Refreshments will be provided: A large selection of new and used items will be auc­ tioned at the Vermontville Fire Bam Wednesday, Oct. 15 beginning at 5:30 p.m. to raise funds for Opera House repairs. Articles to be sold include new items donated by Ver­ montville and Nashville mer­ chants, as well as a huge selection of items given by local residents. The sale of suitcases, work­ ing stereos, lamps, encyclopedias, glassware, dishes, toys and dozens more will help the Vermontville Opera House Restoration Committee begin work to return the Michigan Historic Site to a satisfactory condition. Committee Chairperson Pat O’Dell was pleased at the response by residents who donated to make the auction possible. “I didn’t think we would get this much stuff,” she said. She added that although the township board plans to re­ quest a one mill tax increase for four years specifically for the Opera House restoration, O’Dell said her committee is going ahead with other fun- draisers despite the proposal. “We’re not just waiting for the millage,” she said. In case ofrain, O’Dell said, the sale will be moved inside the fire barn. Stanton Realtors and Auctioneers will conduct the auction. She also added there may be some entertain­ ment on hand during the sale. Vermontville man injured in mishap A Vermontville man suf­ fered a broken leg after his car flipped over on McKeown Road south of Quimby Road at 10:20 p.m. last Monday. (Oct. 6), Barry County Sheriff’s deputies report. Joseph W. Milligan, 22, of 5680 Allegan St., was south­ bound on McKeown when he failed to negotiate a curve, deputies said. The car traveled 138 feet off the west edge of the road before striking a guard rail and turning over, deputies said. Milligan was transported to Pennock Hospital where he was listed in good condition Monday with a fractured leg. Pat O'Dell, left, and Linda Ramey of the Opera House Restoration Committee are shown with the items to be auctioned tomorrow.

The dinner was a fund­ raising event to benefit the Nashville Christian Academy, and was held in the Maple Valley High School cafeteria on October 7 at 6 p.m. All tickets were sold and a large crowd turned out to enjoy beef Stroganoff, green beans with almonds, fruit salad, roll, punch and coffee, with ice cream and cookies as dessert. In 1981 Fred Meijer saw the need for a “people helping people” community program, and as a result the Meijer Community Dinner concept was initiated. Karen Harsh, home economist and com­ munity party hostess for Meijers, encouraged non-profit and non-political organiza­ tions to take advantage of the fund-raising event. A check for $750 was acdepted on behalf of Nashville Christian Academy by Joan Tutt, chair­ man of the event. Emcee Jack Robbins, disc jockey and program director for WILS radio kept the pro­ gram moving with recognition of birthdays and anniver­ saries. A take-off on the Price Is Right game was played and prize winners were Robert Pluff, Ruth Hokanson, Ray Ashcraft, Darlene Rumsey, Ron Tutt and Joan Knight.

Elementary Schools to hold conferences— Conferences will be held in the Maple Valley Elementary Schools on Oct. 15, 16, and 17. We consider conferences to be a vital part ofthe educa­ tional system. It gives the parents and teachers the op­ portunity to share important information relevant to the most successful educational means for the children. In order for a good con­ ference to take place, it is necessary for both sides to prepare. Here are some hints on how you can best prepare. —Talk with your child. Find out if there is anything that is bothering him/her. —Write down any questions you want to ask. —Ask for ways in which you can help your child. —Be willing to listen to what the teacher is telling you. Remember, quite often a child’s behavior is different at school than it is at home. The teachers are trying to get a better understanding of the students and are looking for your help. Nothing that is said should be taken as an insult to you as a parent. —Remember that this is a conference on one child. It is not'a time to discuss your other children,' car problems, etc. The conferences are only 15 minutes long. Try to keep to the subject. . . The schedule for the various specialists is as follows: Kris Green, Counselor Maplewood, 6-8 p.m., Thurs­ day, Oct. 16; Maplewood, 1-3 p.m., Friday, Oct. 17; Fuller, 1-4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16; Kellogg, 1-4 p.m., Wednes­ day, Oct. 15.

The first car ever driven in the village was a Thomas Tri-Auto wheeled about town in 1902 by local entrepreneur Joseph C. Hurd. Later, on South Main Street, Hurd opened one of the earliest Ford auto sales agencies in this part of the state. As more and more folks ac­ cepted the new mode of transportation as the way of the future, “Old Dobbin” was sidelined in favor of speedier, easier personal tran­ sit. Rural people drove into town in their new cars on weekly shopping expeditions, while village residents en­ joyed Sunday drives in the rural countryside. The pleasure of visiting friends and relatives in more distant locations was enhanc­ ed by the ease and speed of motorized vehicles and, in some cases, autos provided a means for rural youth to more easily complete their high school education in town in that pre-school bus era. With the upswing in auto travel there also came an in­ crease in the number of auto accidents, as new drivers at­ tempted to master control of the “horseless carriage.” Early cars lacking today’s ac- cepted safety equipment, pad­ ded dashboards, seatbelts, etc., it would seem likely that personal injuries in that era would have been more serious, but lack of speed in travel may have more than man, and car against cow. Autos Street Collide on (From The Main News, Dec. 6, 1923) - Undersheriff Ward A.

One wheel of the sedan was broken and other damage done, but repairs have been made. Mrs. Barker has been used to driving big cars, but it had been some time since she attempted driving and this was her first trip handling the Barker car. Mr. Barker was not injured. Kalamo Fanner, Bumped by Automobile Driven by Albert Lentz, in Serious Condition (July 10, 1924) - Bert Sprague, Kalamo farmer, is in serious condition at his home two miles north of Kalamo village as the result of In the early part of this century, the typieal condition of rutted dirt roadbeds was often a contributory cause of auto accidents. Combined with a certain degree of speed, the ruts would almost guarantee a mishap, such,as the case in 1925 when a former local resident "turned turtle" in his Essex near Warnervi|le, some six miles north of Nashville. The hatless yo young man driving his early auto is Merrill Hinckley,, an employee of Joseph C. Hurd, Nashville's pioneer auto salesman. As more and more folks accepted the new mode of transportation. Old Dobbin" was sidelined in favor of speedier, easier personal transit. This transition is aptly portrayed in this early scene at the rural Nashville farm of Alfred Baxter. Farmers drove into town in their new cars on errands, while village residents enen­ joyed Sunday drives through the rural countryside. The ease and speed of auto travel enhanced visits to friends and relatives in more distant locations. (Photo loaned, courtesy Dorothy Hummel Martich) bumped by an automobile driven by Albert Lentz of Nashville Saturday afternoon. Mr. Lentz was coming home from Charlotte and had slowed down his car coming down the hill at Dodgon’s comers to make the turn at the foot ofthe hill. Just as he made the turn he was surprised to see a man ap­ parently fall against the right fender of his car and felt the jar as the car struck him. He stopped the car instantly and with others helped convey the injured man to his home near­ by, where medical aid was at once summoned. Mr. Sprague was badly hurt by the concus­ sion and the Tall, but it is not thought that a wheel ofthe car ran over him...Neither Mr. Lentz nor Mr. Sprague is able to give any account of just how the accident occurred, and it seems to be that the car came upon Mr. Sprague so being suddenly that car wore a Dimondale dog license below the auto plate, was travelling west in a roadster. Mr. Zemer states that he slowed up to let the other car pass ahead ofhim as he had no means ofknowing whether the other car would cross the road or would turn, but that just as the car reached the intersection of the roads the Geisnor car stopped suddenly and before he could stop his car the two came together. Both cars suffered from the impact. The Zemer car lost one headlight, the windshield glass, one door badly smashed, one fender doubled up, a wheel “dished” and an axle sprung. The roadster suffered in lesser amount, but plenty. No one was injured except lit­ tle Seth Butler, who received a scalp wound which necessitated dressing by a physician but is not serious. neither Hits Cow and Wrecks Car pedestrain or driver saw the danger until the accident hap­ pened. This is one of those sharp, hidden comers where accidents are bound to occur unless the utmost care is taken by everybody concerned. (Sept. 25, 1924) - The Buick touring car owned by Joe Seres of Bellevue stands in the North Side garage in a damag­ ed condition due to a peculiar accident Sunday night north of town, when he ran into one of Ira Mapes’ prize cows. Mr. Seres, dimming his headlights for an approaching car, did not see the animal which was running loose in the highway. The automobile swayed from the road and into the ditch, fortunately not injuring the occupants of the car. The cow, also thrown into the ditch, died instantly. Bellevue Gazette. Seth Zemer and Dimondale Driver come Together at Hosmer’s Corners (July 17, 1924) - Two Overlands, one a sedan, the other a roadster, fought it out at Hosmer’s cor­ ners Sunday and both retired from the combat badly disfigured but still able to navigate. Seth I. Zemer, Nashville hardware merchant, with his four grandchildren in his sedan, was headed for home, coming south on Covert Road 11. Chas. Geisnor, who claimed to hail from Charlotte although his "If a woman tries to drive carefully, some fool man interferes and persuades her to do something foolish," commented The Nashville News in recounting a fatal C,jCh ,n T?n‘xaC County' bamed on the husband ot the driver. The first woman driver in Nashville , ac- Side-Swiped by a Ford (Jan. 8, 1925) - George C. Deane drove to Itaca Sunday to take Mrs. Leia Roe back to her school, and came back with one side of his Willys-Knight missing, or badly trimmed up that it might as well have been missing. On the way up he met a Ford in the highway. He swung over until his left wheels were in the rut, and so did the other fellow, but when they got within speaking distance neither ofthem could swing any farther and neither could they stop on the icy road, so they just naturally took a wallup at each other. The Ford was shunted out of the road, winding upagainst the roadside fence, but the big W-K didn’t escape unscratch­ ed by any means, although it was still able to travel. The left front wheel was relieved of a few spokes, the left headlight put out of commis­ sion and the running board and fenders crumpled up. Fortunately no one was in­ jured and after talking the matter over both parties agreed that each should stand his own damage and they parted friends. F.G. Fiebach Injured in Auto Smash-Up (March 12, 1925) - Forrest Fiebach, a former resident of this vicini­ ty, but now located at Ionia where he has a music studio, turned turtle in his Essex coach near Wamerville Fri­ day morning with disastrous results both to himself and to the car. He was travelling at a fair rate of speed when the machine jumped out of a rut, skidded sideways and landed bottom side up in a ditch. For­ rest was securely pinned beneath the car and nearly strangled from the leaking oil and gas before other passers­ by discovered the wreck and came to his rescue.

Record rainfall and high humidity in late May and June caused diseases that all but ruined the wheat crop at a time when the market was also so badly depressed. Oats were likewise affected. The wet weather made haying dif­ ficult and the amount of quali­ ty feed and fiber for lifestock reduced. And then there was a sigh of relief as the crops not drowned out in the early deluge flourished. Com look­ ed great as most was planted early. Soys were flourishing. The navy beans, although late because of the prolonged wet weather were doing fine. Then came September and monsterous floods in much of Michigan. Even where there was not actual flooding the rains came and they came. It was warm and with the high humidity navies (the big farmers) began to deteriorate. By the first week in October this crop was near total loss. The soy beans developed mold. Com sprouted in the ear and many ears had mold on them. Crop wise, 1986 had to be the worst on record. On top of all of this the prices were still ruinous for any possible salvage.

The coach was badly damaged, with the top almost sheared from the chassis, and it is a wonder that the driver escaped with a slight injuries as he did. (From The News July 23, 1925) Three automobiles were tangled up in an accident which occurred on Main Street last Saturday night. John Pennington was coming down Main Street from the north in a Ford touring car when he collided with another Ford driven by Harold Bahs, which was backing out from the curb on the west side of the street. The collision threw the Pennington car across the street and it crashed head first into a Star coupe driven by Harry Wilson of South Kalamo, who was coming from the south. The Bahs car escaped with a crumpled farmers were urged to expand, gear up and “Feed a Hungry Starving World!” Farmers responded and the greatest and most efficient productive capacity in the world went to work. At one and the same time we were exporting technology, equipment, seeds, fertilizers to the developing countries to make them more self sufficient. (The term exporting must be qualified with the statement that America Gave These Services!) In a very short time this began to work and our export market dried up. The American farmer and our farm families were caught up in a disastrous situation for which they were not all that responsible. Farming is a way of life, an integral part of our national heritage and the finest example of integrity and the work ethic. Now the very existence of farms and farm families are threatened as never before. Even that way of life is in peril! Farmers pay impossible real estate taxes, due in large part of a regressive and non­ economic system of property taxation. Farmers have to pay all of their own Social Securi­ ty. They have no health and hospital insurance paid for their employers. They pay their own. And there are other factors of so called social security that other segments of fender, but the other two were not so fiirtunate and both are in a garage undergoing repairs, while Bahs and Pennington are debating the responsibility for the crash. And, finally, this sobering story from The Nashville News of December 6, 1923: Sure, “Step On It.” Don’t society have that agriculture does not. My concern goes beyond fanners and their families. Elevators, feed, fertilizer, chemical suppliers, implement dealers, farm mechanics are going to be drastically effected. Jobs in businesses related to the agri-businesses are on the line. Stores and shops were farm families purchase the necessities and the “niceties” that everyone else has the privilege of, will be affected, There will be no withal to purchase. I do not write this out of a “gloom and doom complex.” It is only to point up the gravity ofthe situation. We are at a point where the name of the game is survival. I pray God for the wisdom that it will take to resolve the problem. I pray for inner strength for those who have been brought to the brink of ruin. If there ever was a time in rural America when the age old virtue of concern and compassion for one another was needed, the time is now.

The general intent of the conference is for you and the teacher to discuss your child’s progress in school, curriculum or subject content, plus general classroom operation. General discussion may include com­ ments related to areas where your child does very well along with concern for areas where improvement is necessary.

The worst thing about being a landlord is collecting your renters’ problems. So its nice to know that when a problem does arise, you have Auto-Owners Rental Dwelling Insurance. And that’s no problem. Because Autd-Owners writes its own rental policies, they can offer you broader coverage than most. In fact, you can receive nearly the same protection that you have on your own home. You can even buy replacement cost coverage if you qualify.

Keeping up on the excitement back home, Gudrlin Thursday said the Icelandic capitol is having trouble letting all the people who want to, stay there (in hotels). “The government has taken over four hotels and only about 4,000 can stay in them,” Gudrlin said, adding she was relieved she would not be there during the two day meetin S“I know it would be too crowded,” she said, but she alsd felt the attention to her country would be good to generate interest in Iceland. The island of Iceland, where fishing is the main industry, is about the size of Kentucky and is situated in the North Atlantic. “It (the meeting) will make more people aware of it,” she said. Gudrlin added that American Journalist Nicholas Daniloff who was recently released as a prisoner from Russia, said Reagan and Gorbachev chose Iceland because “there are no Jewish people in Iceland who would protest” the Soviets’ refusal to let Jews settle in other countries.

Her mother, she said, owns a business that makes doors, wood paneling and other types of wood items. “There is only one church in every town,” explained Gudrlin about her homeland. “You can change religions if you want but 95 percent ofthe people go to the same church. church.”” She She added added that that ““I I thought it was very strange when I came to Nashville and saw five churches in the same town.” In school in Iceland, Bible stories are taught by the teachers, she said. Before arriving in Nashville August 21, Gudrlin said her knowledge of American history was very limited. “I didn’t know anything about it,” she said. “I knew about Columbus but I just thought they came and kicked the Indians from their country.” ■At Maple Valley High School where she is a senior, Gudrlin’s class list includes U.S. history, choir, govern­ ment, computer science, ad­ vanced math and study hall.

Gudrlin reasoned that high school in Iceland is much like American colleges with respect to freedom to come and go and reporting to classes at varied times. One difference Gudrlin has noticed between her country and ours is the number of television stations available. “In Iceland there is only one television channel that is on four hours a day and not on Thursday,” she said. “Here, I like TV. If I want to watch something it doesn’t matter.” She also pointed out that there are only two radio sta­ tions in Iceland that broadcast 10 to 12 hours a day.

But American food is something Johanna would rather do without. ‘‘The food you eat is so fattening,” she said. “You just eat and eat.” In Finland, Johanna's father is a veterinarian, traveling from farm'to farm to treat the livestock. Her mother, she said, is also in the medical profession, working as a nurse in a local hospital. Johanna has one sister, 21, who plans to become a doctor. Johanna, however, is not sure what she wants to study after high'school, she said. A senior here, Johanna said if she were in Finland now, she would be a junior and have two more years of school before college. The reason she came to the United States, she said, was to learn first hand what American educa­ tion is like, as well as to ob­ tain a better grasp, of the English language. At 16, she has already had eight years of English in school, studying it at each grade level since she was a third grader. “I was interested to see school here and how do they live here,” Johanna said. Now, after having had a taste of American life; Johan­ na admits she likes it. “I think school (here) is better than in Finland,” she said. “People do more things by Shelly Sulser ks ^•usibet[St [St 5S. m mJ J 1011 Stolt B Ct*M •LLMC ud®^ni a ?bi5 1 *t sm. w^ .* ^.Wiik* ^.Wiik ^hhita sill II Wkitiiiiisii ■ pita'll Wit Stllilpj!

Johanna is one of two ex­ change students attending Maple Valley High School through the American Scan­ dinavian Student Exchange (ASSE), and is staying with Bill and Sharon Mason and their children, Tami and Becky, of Vermontville. “The town I live in (Lapland) is not so big,” Johanna said. “It only has about 35,000 inhabitance.” Johanna said people from all over the world, including the United States visit Finland to see the reindeer and Santa Clauses. “It’s a year round attraction in the stores,” Johanna explained. Having arrived in the United States August 14, Johanna’s 10 month stay in the United States will prove to be an educational, as well as unforgettable one. “I really like the malls,” said Johanna who has been to Battle Creek and Lansing so far since she has been with the Masons. She added another thing she especially prefers are the prices of blue jeans in the United States. “In Finland, it costs $60 for f Your choice ofup to 3 ofthe following specials — A set of Acrylis Nails for ONLY *30.00 by Bobbie or Diana Manicure for ONLY ’6.00 A Haircut & Style by Diana for ONLY ’10.00 □ A Perm for ONLY *22.50 together,” such as athletics, pep and other assemblies. “I enjoy that, I think it’s nice.” But such regiment as having to report to school at 8 a.m. each day and having the same classes every day are practices Johanna is not accustomed to. Johanna also noted at her home school, “We don’t have to pay (for) our lunch.” At Maple Valley, her schedule takes her to world history, algebra II. short stories, government and study hall. World history, she said, is the easiest. “I know about world history because it’s mostly European history,” she said. Sports is another fascinating aspect of life in the American schools for Johanna, who says only two hours per week is used for athletics during the school day in Finland. “We don’t do anything out of school,” such as sports she explained. The current sport of football here shares its name with a sport popular in Finland that she knows as soccer. In her free time, Johanna particularly enjoys downhill skiing, basketball, and volleyball.

Hudson’s Pennfield football team took a giant step toward its first SMAA football cham­ pionship since 1982 by runn­ ing past gritty Maple Valley 29-12 last Friday. The win leaves Pennfield (5-1 overall) with a 3-1 mark, a half game behind Bronson, which is 4-1. Springfield, via its win over St. Philip on Saturday, is tied for second at 3-1. Maple Valley (3-3), which had upended Bronson a week ago to push themselves very much into the SMAA title pic­ ture, falls out of the race at 3-2. Lion Coach Guenther Mittelstaedt said the game boiled down to his team not being able to stop the Pennfield rushing game, which tallied 297 yards. “We couldn’t stop their run. We changed defenses and they still were able to run up the middle and around the ends,” he said. The loss all but ends Maple Valley’s hopes of a second league title in three years. “I’d agree with that state­ ment,” he said. “We’ll just try for a winning season now.” Pennfield’s Mark Rudd broke open a close game with TD runs of 1 and 2 yards in the third quarter to transform a precarious 8-0 lead into a 22-6 margin at the end of three quarters. Maple Valley’s touchdown came on a 2-yard run by Gregg Flower. The Lions did close the gap to 22-12 late in the third sports ..... Thomson and Matt Mc­ Clelland, also were lost with injuries. “We were a little thin,” acknowledged Mittelstaedt. Defensively, Flower finish­ ed with 20 tackles for Maple Valley and Brian Ainsworth added 11. The Lions play at Williamston this Friday.

The staff indicated that this is the 13th year for the camp. Perhaps this is why we had rain all week. This camp ex­ perience is not just a fun outing, but includes educa­ tional experiences outside the classroom setting. A great deal oftime and planning goes into the success of the camp by the staff. I should stress that the camp does not cost the school district anything, since it is self supporting. Pro-active parenting, what is it and why? It’s the process of a parent involving themselves in their child’s education, at home and at school. It’s one of the biggest factors in a child’s achieve­ ment in school. It means sit­ ting down to talk about assignments with your child even if you know little about math or never took physics. It means knowing your child’s teacher by name, even at the high school. Parents are their child’s first and most influen­ tial teacher, working with the school some very fine educa- ched garage, alum, siding, 1st BRICK HOME ON 10 ACRES on AT floor laundry.

Prices are low, interest rates and taxes are too high. More and more land is being gobbled up by developers and corporations. The number offarm bankruptcies is the highest since the Depression. Very few young people can afford to get started in agriculture or to continue their parents’ work. Over the past few years, the Michigan legislature made some progress toward lending a hand to turn this trend around. First there was The Right To Farm Act that makes sine farmers are free from local nuisance ordinances designed to harass them. Then we passed the Young Farmers or Family Farm Development Act that gave thousands of families low interest loans to allow them to get started in farming. And each of these bills passed with the strong backing ofRepresen­ tative Richard Fitzpatrick. When Fitzpatrick saw the increas­ ing problem ofanimal theft, he did something about it. His livestock branding law has been recognized nationally. Even Time magazine wrote an article about his bill. The Michigan Farm Bureau has named Richard a “Friend of Agricul­ ture” again this year as they have in two previous elections. The Michi­ gan Townships Association has endorsed him in his bid for election to the Senate as well. People who know Michigan agriculture know that Richard Fitzpatrick gets things done for people like us. He’s done it in eight years in the House ofRepresentatives and he’ll do it for you in the Senate. Rep. Richard JJ*’ FITZPOTRICK for Senate Paid for by the Fitzpatrick Senate Campaign, sz>r sz> P.O.

Not being able to get com­ bines into wet fields is likely to be a bigger problem for soybean growers than getting the beans in condition for harvest. But new grading criteria for soybeans make it essential to get moisture down before beans are harvested, especially if they are to be stored. Soybeans give up moisture to the air more easily than any other crop, says Maurice Vitosh, MSU Extension agronomist. “Under high relative humidity, soybeans will not dry much below 20 percent moisture. But a few days of warm temperatures and low humidity should quickly lower the grain moisture,” he says. Farmers should harvest as quickly as field conditions permit after moisture drops to 15 percent. Soybeans lose and absorb moisture readily, and moisture content can range from 12 percent during the hot, dry part of the day to 18 percent at night. Beans to be stored should contain no more than 13.5 percent moisture. Above this level, stored beans will suffer heat and mold damage. New, tougher interpretation ofthe damage criteria for soybeans was implemented Sept. 1 by the Federal Grain Inspection Service. The changes were made in response to increasing numbers of complaints from foreign buyers about poor soybean quality. The aim is to prevent the loss of foreign markets because of inferior quality beans. Farmers’ efforts to maintain high quality soybeans may be hampered by a shortage of Look who reached the speed limit! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Bill Musser (OCTOBER 18, 1931) Your friends ...

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 115 - No. 14 — Tuesday, October 21, 1986 Lack of classroom space prompts special board action Maple Valley schools’ overcrowding problem has become so severe that the board of education is asking a group of citizens to study the problem and recommend solutions. Kellogg and Fuller Street Elementary Schools’ Principal Joy Frith appealed to the board for a resolution to the problem at its meeting last Monday. Frith informed the board that all available space in her buildings is being used all of the time. “I have sometimes two and three people (instructors) sharing one room and we’re even using the storage rooms,” she said. “Two specialists are using storage rooms where there are no ex­ its and no windows...the only space we have left to go is the hallway.” Elementary counselor Chris Green is one using a storage room to counsel students, and she is concerned about the lack of privacy created by us­ ing such a room accessible to other staff. Green also ex­ pressed concern regarding the safety and ventilation of the area. “If there was a fire there would be no way to get out of there...,” she said. “There are no windows, nothing. We would die.” Green explained that during warmer weather, the heat in the room caused students to perspire, and with colder weather approaching, students now must wear theirjackets in the room. In discussing the issue, board member Dale Ossenheimer suggested con­ sideration be given to the con­ struction of a middle school in the district to free space at the elementary and junior high levels. However, Ossenheimer said, “We’re talking considerable expense.” Board President David Hawkins agreed a middle school would be the ultimate solution. “I’ve felt and still feel that we should finish consolidating this district and get a middle school out where it belongs,” he said. “Fifteen years ago this pro­ blem really began,” added Ossenheimer. “So we bought a couple portables (classrooms) and hoped it would go away.” Frith said even now addi­ tional portables would be adequate. “If I even had one more portable it would help a lot,” she said. Maple Valley Junior Senior High School Principal Larry Lenz felt a portable would help the situation at his building as well. “Two additional portables would free four classrooms at the high school,” he said. Because no firm resolution could be reached at the meeting Monday, Superinten­ dent Carroll Wolff was directed by the board to in­ vestigate the cost involved for the purchase of new or used portables and for leasing. Board President David Hawkins declared he would contact chairman of the citizen advisory committee buildings and grounds sub­ committee Lorna Wilson about reactivating the group to review the need for additional classroom space.

The group was set up, said Wolff, to keep communica­ tion lines open between the teachers, administrators and the board, with hopes that future negotiations would be made easier. The committee consists of board member Dale Ossenheimer, Curriculum Coordinator Dr. Vic Schug, Maplewood Principal Dave Doozan and three teachers association representatives. Wolffsaid the group will meet on a monthly basis to discuss present and future school operations. The board also agreed to ac­ cept a bid from Norman H. Davis Builders ofHastings for reroofing of the east and west ends of the jr.-sr. high school and of Kellogg and Fuller Street Schools. Total cost for the project will be $127,788.68. It was noted the materials are guaranteed for 12 years and work could begin in three to four weeks. The Maple Valley Schools have applied for a $1,000 block grant through the state to aid teachers in increasing student achievement, Dr. Schug noted. Science teacher Burr Hartenburg has also taken advantage of new teacher “mini-grant” pro­ gram to apply for $750 for teaching materials. In other business, the board: —Voted to establish an account for the Maple Valley Memorial Scholarship Fund within the district activity fund. Dorothy Carpenter and Junia Jarvie will serve as custodians of the account. —Approved a request of jr.-sr. high principal Larry Lenz to purchase a computer system for the school’s office. Four terminals with phone motem and printers will be us­ ed for attendance, scheduling, grading and more. The entire system will have capabilities to be adapted to a district-wide connection in the future, Lenz said. Wolff added that in the next 3-4 years, several districts will be connected by computer systems. Total cost for the high school system is $11,117.32 —Approved the district an­ nual financial report, showing a loss of 21 students and total assets of $605,891. Wolff noted the loss of students was not expected due to a survey that predicted the district would gain in enrollment. He said most students who moved from the district were Nashville residents, and that a decrease in enrollment costs the school a loss in state aid dollars. —Approved a request by Wolff to attend the national meeting of the American Association of School Ad­ ministrators in New Orleans, Feb. 20-23, 1987.

Nathville. Tuesday. October 21, 1986 — Page 4 October diary entries of Nashville engineer reveal tidbits of history Tidbits ofNashville history, including public works data, are found in a collection of diaries kept by longtime Nashville village engineer Frank Russell that now is part of the local history section at Putnam Public Library. The books were given to the library by the family of the late Vem Staup, a longtime Nashville barber who had received the diaries following Russell’s death in 1952. Back in the late 1970s when we first started this column and often called on Mr. Staup’s fantastic recall of Nashville history, he loaned us the Russell diaries to allow us to prepare a transcript that has since proved to be a valuable reference source in preparing Memories of the Past. Russell’s succinct diary en­ tries reflect life in Nashville of his era. He made daily weather notations; com­ mented on traffic and road conditions; noted production of local garden crops, the con­ struction of new homes and other buildings in the village; kept track of fires and other local tragedies; recorded deaths (even down to whose pet dog or cat had died); and offered occasional comments on community social events and, sometimes, noteworthy local tiffs. All in all, Russell's diaries are a commentary on life along the Thornapple River, the heart of which (for him) was the village pump house at Waterworks, later Putnam Park. As a young man Russell had dreamed of becoming a railroad engineer, but family circumstances compelled him to relinquish that aspiration. While operating a threshing rig in North Dakota in 1902, he was summoned home to take care of his recentlywidowed mother, Helen. Frank’s father, Hiram Russell, died that year. He and a sister were the only children, so Frank Russell traded in his railroading dream for a settled life as village engineer. When he was hired on April 10, 1907, to run the two steam pumps in the waterworks building, he tackled the job with a rare dedication. He moved a bed in alongside the machinery and slept in those quarters for the next 29 years, pampering the old pumps to assure Nashville a dependable public water supply. In addition, he was respon­ sible for installing water ser­ vices, reading meters and col­ lecting water rental fees. Russell also enjoyed mowing the village parks and planting “posies” here and there to brighten the scene. (His com­ plete life story was told in a Memories of the Past article published March 5, 1980.) For today’s column we have excerpted several of Russell’s October diary entries, com­ mencing with 1909. That was the era when Nashville’s early sewer system was being in­ stalled and many of his com­ ments pertain to that construction. We have added paren­ thetical comments where fur­ ther explanation seemed necessary. *••• October, 1909 ... 3— Sun­ day. Got the tile laid on Cleveland St. to Washington. 6--A peach of a day.

The Russell family residence was "home" to Frank but he slept at the waterworks plant to keep watch of the machinery. He was often seen "wheeling" (bicycling) about town, going to and from work. Local news, ranging from commonplace happenings to more spectacular events, such as this train wreck scene dated May 28, 1914, were grist for the mill of Frank Russell's daily diary entries. His succinct comments now provide a capsulized version of Nashville history.

In fact, it is quite likely that wherever we live or work we can see some of them right from our window. Depending on the climate, trees grow nearly everywhere on earth, except for the most arid deserts, the frozen tundra and on the moun­ taintops above the timber line. However, this is the time of year when, in any temperate region, we do notice the trees as they put on a brilliant display for us with their flame-colored leaves; as their grand finale before the onset of winter. At our House of Worship, let us thank God for this blaze of glory in the cycle of the year; and as we enjoy it, let us remember that it is but one manifestation of the beauty of His creation and the wonder of His love. October's poplars are flaming torches lighting the way to winter. — Nova S.

Schoessel was not in favor ofthe transfer and asked the Maple Valley Board to op­ pose this and future transfer requests. “...because there is too much of it going on,” Wolff said. “So many think they want to switch to another district and then find out they don’t like it so they want to transfer back.” A similar request from David and Betty Crowner of near Charlotte who desired to transfer from the Maple Valley district to the Charlotte district was also turned down. “We’ll just have to leave it to the Barry-Eaton in­ termediate school districts to decide,” Wolff said. —Approved a request for Vocational Agriculture Teacher Gordon Swinson and the Future Farmers of America (FFA) officers to at­ tend the national FFA con­ ference in Kansas City next month. —Agreed to let the juniors. hold the senior prom at the House of Ing in Battle Creek on May 9, 1987. —Approved the senior trip to Williamsburg-Washington D.C., May 2-8, 1987. —Extended a Contract to Maryjo Marciniak as special education teacher at Fuller Street Elementary School, Sept. 26, 1986 to June 5, 1987 for $12,939. —Approved the transfer of custodian Ray Barlond from the high school to the Fuller Street building. —Accepted a letter of resignation from Maplewood teacher Kay Jones, effective Nov. 7, 1986. Beer and cigarettes stolen from Nashville Bar Budweiser beer and Marlboro cigarettes were stolen from Otie’s Bar in Nashville early Sunday after an unknown subject illegally entered the building through a window. Owner Otie Hiser said the subject broke a window at the rear of his Main Street business to gain entrance sometime after the bar closed at 2:30 a.m. “They didn’t get a whole lot of stuff, they just' cleaned me out of three rows of Marlboros,” he said. The incident remains under investigation. ^Dorothy McMillen^ — IS BACK! — Starting Tuesday, Nov. 11 Specials: . -.r, 58 Men’s Cuts...................... $5 but, Shampoo & Set WALK-/A/S WELCOME Irene’s Beauty Shop!

Barry County Historical Society member Mike Hook, who is helping the Charlton Park millage committee with its campaign, recently told Nashville council members how important the money is to the park’s survival. “Financial assistance to the park in 1981 was $125,000,” he said. “Then (some of) the government support was lost and never replaced. In 1986, the assistance is $46,000. We appreciate that but we can’t stand on those figures.” Hook said the present in- E.P.T.

Charlton Park is a historic village started by the late Irv­ ing Charlton in' 1936 to display his Indian artifacts. Now, there are over 110,000 antiques and artifacts contain­ ed in the park’s 30 buildings, 16 of which are historic. The Irving Charlton collection ranks as the fourth largest in the state. The park covers 332 acres containing a beach and picnic pavillion, as well as the main historic village. Hook said Nashville Baptist Church is the largest group to use the picnic area. “So there is interest in Charlton Park,” he said. Hook added that the one quarter mill would cost voters 25 cents per $1,000 state equalized valuation (SEV), “only 1.5 cents per day.” If the proposal is approved, Hook said Barry County residents would be admitted to the park without charge. However, a $2 fee for special events would still be charged. “In 1986, the park has brought in $65,000 so it does make money but it still needs to have the millage passed,” he said. “We’re just squeak­ ing by for the remainder of this year.” Hook said the money is needed to maintain and operate the park, as well as to Lose weight, stop smoking workshop offered locally make improvements and pay salaries.

Though Richard and I may not always agree, he is an experienced legislator who understands the issues and has a positive program to assist me in moving our state forward. Richard Fitzpatrick will be a strong voice for you in the Senate. He will be the kind of Senator with whom I can work. I urge you to join me in supporting Richard Fitzpatrick and to give him your vote on November 4th.” “As the owner of a small business, I am personally convinced that Richard Fitzpatrick will best serve the interests of small businesspersons like myself. The Small Business Association endorsement is an indication to me that Richard has worked hard and will continue to work hard for the concerns of small business owners. I have known Senator Harry DeMaso for years and have always respected and supported the role he has played in the State Senate. I trust his judgment and urge all voters who have appreciated Harry’s leadership to follow his lead and support the election of Richard Fitzpatrick.” “As a former Democratic Eaton County Clerk for sixteen years, I looked at Richard Fitzpatrick’s record very carefully. I totally agree with his independent approach to politics. I served the people ofEaton County with that same spirit and never lost an election in this Republican district. Richard Fitzpatrick showed he has a commitment to Eaton County by announcing his candidacy on the steps of the Old Court House and is working to secure funding for the Court House’s renovation. Richard has my full support. He will be an effective Senator for Eaton County.” Representative Debbie Stabenow 58th District, Ingham County Senator Harry A. DeMaso Jon Olson Sheriff of Calhoun County “As both an Ingham County Commis­ sioner and State Representative, I have worked with the people ofDelhi Township and learned what their concerns and priorities are. I know that Richard Fitzpatrick will be a Senator who will work hard to represent their concerns in the Senate. Richard and I have served together in the House of Representatives for the past eight years. Though we’ve sometimes disagreed on issues, he has always been an informed, conscientious legislator. Richard has the experience to get things done for his district. He has my full support in his bid for the Senate. I look forward to working with him to serve our constituents.” “Obviously, I have an interest in who will take my seat in the Senate. I want to see someone in the Senate who will carry on the work I’ve started in terms of international economic development. Some people may be surprised that a Republican would endorse a Democrat for his seat. But I’ve always been independent and I think Richard is the man for thisjob because he, too, is independent. He’s experienced in the Legislature and has a record of always putting his district and his state before party labels and politics. I can assure you that being a Senator is more than a full-time job. Richard has shown he has the willingness and energy to work hard to get things done for his district. He has my full support and endorsement for the Senate.” “No one is more concerned about how laws are made than those whose job it is to enforce them. On behalfofthe citizens of Calhoun County in particular, and for the 83 Sheriffs of Michigan, I want to extend a very warm and personal ‘thank you’ to Rep. Fitzpatrick for the job he’s done for us in Lansing. I particularly appreciate his efforts to get three bills passed that allow counties to charge insurance companies and individuals those costs a county incurs for prisoner medical attention. These costs had been tremendous — I’ve heard from other SheriffDepartments around the state that are saving tens of thousands of dollars because of Fitzpatrick’s work.” Jerry Spitler, President Battle Creek Ford Dr. Marjorie Ross Judith Ackerman Battle Creek ‘ ‘The political world of Lansing is a totally different kind of place. It takes years to just learn your way around up there. I want a Senator who knows what he is doing. I want a Senator I can count on to be available when I need him. I’ve watched Richard Fitzpatrick learn the ropes in the House of Representative—I think he’s ready for a promotion to the Senate.” “Richard Fitzpatrick is a man dedicated to the constituents he serves. He is an independent thinker whose concern reaches beyond short term politics to those issues that have a lasting, positive effect on our community and state. Nothing is ever too small and trivial or too large and controversial for his responsible attention and action. I strongly support his election to the state Senate.” “When I, as fundraising chairperson for a local non-profit agency, had a problem with the Michigan Lottery Bureau, I called Richard Fitzpatrick. He took the time to listen to my concerns and intervened to cut through the bureauc­ racy for us. His prompt attention and action on the Board’s behalf convinced me that Richard Fitzpatrick is the person I want representing me in the Senate. He will be a responsive and concerned Senator for all of us.” Governor James J. Blanchard Rep. Richard Paid for by the Fitzpatrick Senate Campaign, P.O.

Golf coach talks about season By Faith Schilz After 13 years of coaching experience, Mike Booher, Maple Valley golf coach is looking forward to yet another league win. Coach Booher started his golf coaching career in 1971 at Maple Valley. Besides being a coach, Booher is also a teacher at Maple Valley. During his teaching career, he has taught math, science, general math, Algebra 2, physics, and con­ sumers math. He has taught both junior high and senior high. Coach Booher coaches both the J. V./Varsity golf teams. The varsity team’s record this season is eight wins, and four losses. They are first place in the league. Their goal is to go to state. There are no seniors on the team. The best players are juniors, Brock Degroot and Lloyd Cooper. They are retur­ ning All-Conference players. The other team members are Scott Lenz, Brian Stall, Richie Varney, and Rob Norton. “The only real problems are that they get down on themselves when they don’t do well enough and they are a little inconsistant,’’ said Booher of this year’s team. The J. V. golfteam has a ten win, no loss record. They have the league win all wrap­ ped up.

Football team defeats Williamston The J.V. football team won its fifth game last Thursday night with a 22-8 win over Williamston. The Lions got on the board first with a 1 yard run by quarterback Matt Forell and the two point extra point was good. On their next possession Matt Forell hit Travis Swin­ son with a 10 yard touchdown pass and again the two point extra point was good. The Lions went up 22-0 when Sean Bitgood took it in from the 9 yard line. The two point extra point was missed. Leading the offense was Bob Wood with 116 yards in 19 carries and Cody Matson, 70 yards in 7 carries. The en­ tire defensive unit played an excellent game by holding Williamston to a shutout until the 4th quarter. The next game for the J.V.’s will be on Oct. 23 at Olivet. Game time is 7 p.m. M.V. Football teams organize senior citizens Help-AThon Oct. 25-26 The J.V. and Varsity foot­ ball team will be conducting a senior citizens help-a-thon to raise money for the football program. The program is free to senior citizens, the ball players will help with leafrak­ ing or any other work the senior citizens need help with on Oct. 25 or 26. Please contact any football player if you can use some help this weekend. If you do not know any football players, call Coach Mittelstaedt 852-9510 and he will make ar­ rangements for you. Maple Valley turned two long second half drives into touchdowns as the Lions downed non-league foe Williamston 14-7 last Friday night. Trailing 7-0 after Tim Guthrie sped 78 yards for a touchdown at the 7:31 mark of the first quarter, the Lions pieced together drives of 65 and 55 yards to score their touchdowns. The first drive came after Maple Valley took the opening kickoff and mov­ ed to the Williamston 3. From there Jeff Fisher scored and Greg Flower’s two-point con­ version handed the Lions an 8-7 lead. In the fourth quarter the Lions drove 55-yards in only 9 plays as Fisher scored from the 1 at the 10:00 minute mark. Williamston had one last chance to tie the game, but were stopped on a fourth-andtwo with 3 minutes remaining. The win upped Maple Valley’s record to 4-3 overall. The Lions finished 3-2 in the SMAA. Lion Coach Guenther Mittelstaedt said the win, was typically Maple Valley: move the ball on the -ground and then play defense. “Yup, that’s typical of us...finally,’’’ said Mittelstaedt. The second-year Lion coach singled out Sherman Reid, who had 8 tackles including 4 sacks, and Flower and Dan Kellogg, who had 14 and 9 tackles. Williamston was limited to only 6 first downs, 95 rushing yards, and 51 passing. Maple Valley, meanwhile, wasn’t sweeping up and down the field. The Lions finished with 14 first downs and 249 yards on the ground, but did not complete a pass. David Benit rushed \3 times for 99 yards and Flower added 93 yards on 12 attempts. Mittelstaedt said after a sluggish first half his team decided to play ball the final 24 minutes. “In the second half we played extremely well,” said Mittelstaedt.7 “We came out and blew them away. We were able to move the ball on the ground and play defense.

It was produced under the direction of noted children’s expert, Fred Rogers of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. This acclaimed brochure is now part of our community resource collection. Please feel free to call or drop by if you would like a complimentary copy.

Bender urges farmers to apply for available assistance in the face of recent reports that few farmers have been applying for available disaster relief funds, State Represen­ tative Bob Bender (RMiddleville) urged those hit hard by recent flooding to ap­ ply for whatever aid is available. “Farmers are an indepen­ dent lot, and take pride in be­ ing able to stand on their own,” said Bender, an 'ex­ farmer himself. “But the re­ cent disaster was a work of nature, and not the result of anything the farmers did or didn’t do. There are some good reasons why farmers need to apply for the aid that’s available.” Having farmers file for assistance helps document the extent of the disaster and the need that exists. “With so few farmers having asked for assistance, it’s certainly harder to convince someone from outside the area that help really is needed,” Bender said. Though there are no guarantees that money will be awarded, the list of proposals is growing and farmers should be in line for whatever grants or loans eventually become available. The U.S. Congress is considering a measure that would help both Northern flood victims and those hit by this summers severe drought in the South, and various pro­ posals for state help are bound to be on the top of the agenda when the Michigan Legislature returns to session in November. “Regardless of what is actually passed, no help will be there if we don’t know who needs it. Farmers should know that you can’t reap what you don’t sow,” said Bender. Anyone wishing to find out' what aid is available and how to apply for it should call the toll-free Disaster Assistance Hot Line at 1-800-992-2585. nnTnnnnnnTnnTTnTTTnTTTTnTnnffnnHnnTnffni'nnnnnnff Barry County Extension CALENDAR OF EVENTS ...111...1111...... 1.... 1.

Vol. 115 - No. 15 — Tuesday, October 28. 1986 More funds needed to continue sports at Maple Valley by Shelly Sulser Due to financial concerns, the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters are again seeking the help of the Maple Valley Board of Education to keep the school sports program alive. Although results of a meeting held last night bet­ ween the boosters officers and the school board are not available at press time, Athletic Director Ed Sampson was confident Friday a solu­ tion could be worked out. “I’m looking at both sides being able to sit down, com­ municate and hopefully come up with a solution,” he said. Members of the board. Sampson, Superintendent Carroll Wolff and the Maple Valley News had received copies of a letter from the boosters last week which an­ nounced: “Due to our present financial condition, we are finding ourselves in trouble. At present, we are approx­ imately $20,000 in debt. The decision was made at our Oct. 20 meeting, without some assistance from the board toward these expenses, we will discontinue support ofthe Vermontville area farmers suffering up to 100 percent Navy Bean loss this year by Shelly Sulser Among the worst hit in the state, Eaton County farmers are suffering an $8*A million loss of navy beans due to ex­ cessive rain in early October. Vermonvtville area farmers are no different, claiming a 100 percent navy bean casualty. “Everybody has had a bad situation,” said Eaton County Agricultural Agent Allen Krizek. Haying visited the Vermontville area fast week, Krizek noted only one navy athletic program at the conclu­ sion of the 1986 fall sports season...” The boosters, who support Maple Valley sports entirely, are billed by the school board for the cost of the program after each athletic season. The major expenses are coaches salaries and equipment pur­ chases, said boosters secretary Sharon Stewart. (MVAB President Ken Todd and Vice President Vernon Reid could not be reached for comment). Stewart said the boosters are just now able to pay $6,000 for spring 1986 sports, and anticipate a bill for about $12,000 from the board for fall sports. In addition, the boosters will have to pay $8,000 to Andrus Chevrolet in Hastings by Feb. 14 for a car that is being raffled by the boosters The boosters’ letter re­ quested the meeting with the board of education, and stated that if no reply was received by Nov. 7, the cancellation of athletics would be effective at the conclusion of the. fall sports season. The boosters made a similar claim last summer, when they announced prior to fall sports that athletics at Maple Valley could be cancelled due to lack of funds and volunteers. At that time, the boosters requested help from the board ofeducation at a July 14 board of education meeting. The board reminded the boosters that plans to provide partial funding for extra curricular activities such as band and athletics would not take effect until the 1988-89 school year. However, the board did later adopt a new definite “pay to play” policy at the boosters request, where all participating in sports must pay a specific fee before he or she can take part. Fall .sports then proceeded as scheduled after the boosters were able to generate more volunteers and fundraising ideas. But although player fees, gate receipts, bingo, dona­ tions and a car raffle are all ef­ forts by the boosters to keep afloat, it is still not enough, they claim. “We have almost $7,000. All that money goes right to the treasury,” Stewart said Friday. “Right now we have just enough to pay for spring SPORTS, continued page 2 Two candidates face off Tuesday for Castleton Clerk position bean field looked “salvagable.” “The rest looked like a 100 percent loss,” he said. “Soy Because of continuous rains earlier this month, navy bean crops in Eaton County are considered a total loss. The beans became shriveled and blackened, making them impossible to harvest. beans were hit too but navy beans were the worst hit.” Although Vermontville fanners Bill Hosey, Forrest Gardner and Bill Fox were not available for comment, it was noted they are among the ail­ ing navy bean growers. “Our beans were the worst hit in the state because we had constant rain the first week of October,” said Krizek. As a result, Eaton County was one of many counties declared a disaster area. Krizek said with 17,000 acres ofnavy beans grown an­ nually in Eaton County, the loss of income is phenomenal. “It amounts to a lot of money real quick,” said FARMERS, continued page 4 by Shelly Sulser Democrat Shirley Dexter and Republican Junia Jarvie will face off in the Nov. 4 general government election when voters decide who will be This bean field near Vermontville is one of many to suffer the effects of Oc­ tober's damaging rains.

FARMERS continued from page I Krizek. He said each acre fills about 15 bags of beans, which cost $32 each. Using those figures, Krizek said the loss to Eaton County farmers is $8,160,000. Krizek said surrounging counties have also suffered, but are able to harvest at least some fields. “They didn’t get as much so they might have 50 percent that are still good,” he said. “We may be able to salvage only about 5-10 percent.” He said many beans grown in other counties are different varieties such as pinto beans. Krizek said much of the beans grown in Eaton County are white beans such as soy beans and navy beans. Although some Vermont­ ville area farmers grow navy beans, it is not their primary crop. Many have com and wheat to harvest as well. Area artists featured in 'Santa's Bag' The second annual “Santa Bag" Juried Arts and Crafts Show, to be held Saturday, Nov. 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Marshall, will feature Marilyn Wright and Sharon Reese of Vermontville. Joanne Jackson, cochairman of the event, stated, “We arc pleased to have these artists exhibit in ‘Santa’s Bag’. Patrons of country pain­ tings will be very favorably impressed with Marilyn’s display, and Sharon’s tree top angels are a delight. Both ar­ tists were participants in last year’s show, and were very popular among the attendees. The quality of their work is attested to by the fact that they passed a very strict and knowledgeable jury in order to be in “Santa’s Bag.” Co­ chairman Sally Bulgarelli and I feel that with artists like these, ‘Santa’s Bag’ is enhancing its reputation as one of 219 Washington St., Nashville Sun.

Daisy Girl Scouts The youngest members of the Girl Scout family are preparing to have their troop investiture on October 28. Six kindergarten girls meet under the leader­ ship of Lois Hammond. The scouts have been learning about themselves and how they are alike or different from each other. They have made posterboard statues of themselves and made and per­ formed a stick-puppet show for the troop. A tasting party featured some interesting items to sam­ ple like raisins, salt, sugar, pepper, baking soda, V-8 juice and a cookie. The troop is learning Girl Scout ceremonies such as the Flag Ceremony and the candlelight ceremony. The girls are learning about Girl Scout founder Juliet Low and planning a party for her Oc­ tober birthday.

The girls have heard the Brownie story and are learning the Girl Scout Promise as they prepare for an investiture ceremony. The girls are learning new games and songs and working on Brownie Try Its badges. The second and third grade Brownie Girl Scout troop has 14 girls this year. Troop leaders are Dawn Balcom and Cindy Krolik. The scouts are planning their investiture/rededication ceremony for November 4. Each week the girls write in their private book about dif­ ferent topics. Some topics they have had are Favorite Things, Feelings, Hiking and When I Grow Up. The girls have heard the Brownie story, learned about Juliet Low and made a collage about the Girl Scout Laws. The third grade girls finished up requirements on a badge from last year - Bee a Ready Helper - Out of Doors and the entire troop has begun to work on the new Brownie Try Its. One badge requirement sent them hiking down the old railroad tracks on an outdoor scavenger hunt. They didn’t really find a bear! Another trip was to the cider mill where fresh cider, donuts, pumpkins and apples were found and enjoyed. Another requirement was a Touch/Smell/Listen ex­ perience outside. The troop made crayon on rubbings of various items to see what the print would look like. Some girls rubbed tree bark, others used the sidewalk or a leaf. Troop co-leader Cindy Krolik has completed the Basic Leader Training course. Junior Girl Scouts The fourth grade patrol welcomes three returning scouts and three girls new to Girl Scouting. Troop leaders Joan Hasselback and Lois Ham­ mond have had the girls busy throughout the summer and fall working on badges. The patrol recently completed the communications badge and the Sabbler-Today and Tomorrow badge. Prepara­ tions for a Halloween costume party and games and a trip to the cider mill have made an exciting October. The patrol enjoyed a visit from exchange student Johan­ na Koivna from Finland. She told of her home, land and of Girl Guides (Girl Scouts overseas) and helped the patrol work on the Com­ munications badge. The fifth grade patrol has six members and is led by Connie Shutes. They are cur­ rently working on a Hallo­ ween party fortune telling booth. The patrol has earned the Healthy Living badge and is working on the Ms. Fix It badge. The girls have made wooden gifts for their moms. The sixth grade patrol has 10 members this year. Patrol leaders is Roz Lingholm with assistant Jan Mahan. The patrol has taken several hikes, including one to the old cemetery, as they work towards completion of the Foot Traveler badge. They have also earned the Com­ munications badge. The girls are making ready a haunted house for the troop Halloween party. Their re­ dedication ceremony will be on November 3.

Hallo­ ween was a traditional occa- sion for such gatherings, although costurped events were not limited to that holiday. Shortly before and after the Historic character costumes were popular in the days of Clyde Francis' youth, when boys improvised outfits to appear as Sitting Bull or Napoleon Bonaparte. Al­ though this 1920s photo does not represent a mas­ querade party, Lillie Vance (left) and Maude Wotring are dressed to portray Martha and George Washing­ ton for a Woman's Literary Club play. At communitysponsored Halloween parties in the 1930s, Nashville adults joined in the fun with local youngsters, donning costumes for judging. turn of the century, mas­ querades were frequently call­ ed for at various special dances and roller-skating con­ tests held at the old opera house on Washington Street. And costumes always added a certain mystique to school parties. Clyde W. Francis, a graduate in Nashville’s Class of 1888 who later became a successful newspaperman in Michigan and Ohio, wrote of such an event in his column, “Telling Tales Out of School,” a series of reminis­ cent articles of early Nashville schooldays that was published in The Nashville News in the late 1920s. The following ac­ count is excerpted from Fran­ cis’ column of March 22, 1928, and deals with a young schoolboy’s expectations. “Written invitations were mailed out for the function, which augured well for something swell. Something ‘swell’ only meant one thing to us boys - a big feed. “Many of them made or improvised special costumes for this affair; we boys tried to represent historic personages, such as Sitting Bull or Napoleon Bonaparte. In order that our apetites might present a keen edge capable ofcutting a wide swath into the bounteous menu that would be set before us, a number of us kids heroically went without our supper. “I will not exploit our diversion of the evening, but to say that wearing a papiermache mask a couple ofhours on an empty stomach did not kid that organ into thinking it was the life of the party. When the signal was given for unmasking, we had a hunch the eats were coming. I fan- Whether or not these unidentified young ladies were outfitted for a masquerade party is unknown, but if not, their public appearance in men's garb must have created a stir in turn-of-the-century Nashville. The undated photo was taken by Edwin H. VanNocker, a professional photographer who commenced his business here in the 1880s — the era remembered by Clyde W. Francis. In the background is the spacious South Main Street home built in 1875 by prosperous local lumberlumber­ man A. W. Olds and acquired in 1903 by Ward Gribbin, whose daughter Sena French still resides there. "Gangs of teen-aged boys worked hard at dragging moveable objects of all description into the streets," noted The Nashville News in reporting on Halloween night 1949. This scene predates that by some 25 years but the effects were the same. A favorite target of pranksters in the 1920s was Seth I. Zemer, proprietor of the former Pratt Hardware (center of photo) at the NE corner of Main and Maple. In the intersection is an outhouse traditionally dragged downtown each Halloween from Phil Penfold's blacksmith shop on South Main. cied I could smell the aroma of fried chicken, and saw myself and my partner pulling at a wishbone. Second thoughts are very apt to be more reliable, and my spirits sank - they would deal me out the neck, for I always held that card in any kind of game, be it wild fowl or domestic. 1 would have to be content with necking instead of wishing. “We paired off and took seats around the room. So­ meone came in and handed out a lot of red napkins. The way a fellow wore one of those claret-colored doilies those days made him look as though his throuat had been cut; my stomach really thought mine was. Someone whispered in a half-starved voice, ‘The eats are coming! The eats are coming!’ We craned our necks kitchenward just as Frank Chipman entered, carrying a large tin dish pan of buttered popcorn. The melting of butter had in­ trigued my nose with the idea of fried chicken. And then they said amen with toothpicks. “Be that as it may, I never ate such luscious fruit in my whole life. If an apple a day keeps the doctors away, then the number we consumed that evening should have kept him away for the rest of our lives. Truth to tell, Dr. Barber mov­ ed to Hastings soon after this party, and Lentz and Sons, Undertaker, started in making tables for a living... “Do not get the idea this party was held at the Chipman home; Frank Chipman was the handyman at many a social occasion. Some 50 years later costum­ ed parties were still the rage. In 1931 the Nashville Chamber of Commerce spon­ sored a community Halloween party for local youths at the Riverside ball park west of Main Street. The event com­ menced with a parade from the schoolhouse to the field. In addition to the youngest, several adult chaperones and sponsors joined in the masquerade. The following account is excerpted from an account published in The Informant, Nashville’s high school newspaper, on November 9, 1931. “Prizes were given to the funniest dressed couple, the funniest dressed girl, the fun­ niest dressed boy, the funniest dressed woman, and to the person who guessed the names of the masked businessmen. “The prize for the funniest couple was given to Elmer Gillett and Dorr Webb. Leva Webb received the prize for the funniest dressed girl, and George Gillett received the reward for the funniest dress­ ed boy. Mrs. Johnson was awarded the prize for the fun­ niest masked woman. Mrs. Tuttle received the prize for guessing Seth I. Zemer and E.L. Kane as the two masked businessmen. “The boys and girls spent an enjoyable evening playing games and eating frankfurts and buns around the bonfire. the various similarities (and differences) between contem­ porary observances of the day and those enjoyed a century ago - in the days of Clyde Francis’ youth. “Halloween was observed in Nashville Monday night in about normal fashion.

(tab tap®’ played P3^ asrota Two ballot proposals could accelerate renovation of the Vermontville Opera House if voters approve the millage questions Tuesday. A request by the Vermont­ ville Township board to ex­ ceed a 15 mill limit and a pro­ posal to increase taxes by one mill for four years are the questions that will face voters in next Tuesday’s general election. Both proposals go hand in hand and are aimed at pro­ viding funds to pick up an estimated $50,000 tab to return the state historic site back to a safe and usable condition. Both ballot questions must pass in order for the millage to be effective, explained township supervisor Ed Sampson. He said the one mill increase would cause the 15 mill limit to be exceeded, and permission to exceed the limit must be granted by the voters. The millage requests by the township were prompted by a Vermontville group called the Opera House Restoration Committee, chaired by Chamber of Commerce Presi­ dent Pat O’Dell, who hopes to see the structure used for various community events as it once was. O’Dell said the nearly $66,416 the millage would generate over the four-year levy is needed to update the electrical wiring, and to paint the interior, restore the kit­ chen and restrooms, purchase banquet tables and chairs, etc. “All we can do is just hope there are enough people who remember the Opera House the way it was and who want to put it back in working order,” she said. The existing Opera House, Phone 945-9554 for ACTION-ADS I located on South Main Street, was built in 1898 to replace the original structure that was destroyed by fire, said Kathryn Bosworth-Houck of the Vermontville Historical Society. It has been used for plays, movies, roller skating, Boy Scout meetings, gradua­ tions, basketball and other school and social events, she said. Houck added that L. Vem Slout and his players, one of Michigan’s oldest tent com­ panies gave his first and last shows in the Opera House. In addition, local, state and federal elections have been held there, as well as township and village meetings. Houck went on to explain that on the stage of the Opera House is an oleo (oil on can­ vas) curtain dated “1896 or 1898”, that was made by a Battle Creek firm. Later, the Kalamo Township Board donated a stage curtain with advertisements would be lost, they said. “There are a lot of people that want this (millage),” O’Dell said. O’Dell said she knows it will be “a hard deci­ sion (for voters) to make but we certainly hope it will pass.” Concern for the Opera House first became public after some citizens protested a teen dance that was to be held in a local bar. Many felt there should be places to hold dances and community ac­ tivities other than at a bar. From that controversy, the Teen Recreation Committee was formed, now known as the Opera House Restoration Committee, with a goal of providing a place for com­ munity activities to be held. In August, O’Dell’s .group released a list of needed repairs and their cost estimates made by professionals: Kitchen completion $1,200; two complete han­ dicap bathrooms — $6,100; incasement for a handicap lift — $500; lift $20,000; plastering and painting — $800; complete wiring for the kitchen, stage lights, ceiling lights and fans — $6,749; New front doors — $2,100; flooring $500; banquet tables and chairs — $750; fire escape door — $200; stair railings — $125; metal grids for all windows — $200; win­ dow blankets or thermopayne windows ($300 each) — $3,000; window repair — $200; drapes for the stage and windows — $5,000; furnace upkeep and gas bills, ($50 per month) — $600 per year; maintenance person — $25 per occasion; cleaning sup­ plies — $175 per year. In order for voters to view the needs first hand, O’Dell said she is considering having the building open to the public on specific days, though plans have not been finalized. Although O'Dell says op­ timistic is her “middle name,” her group will con­ tinue to seek funds should the millage request be turned down. The next step she said would be to go door to door asking for donations, and holding bake sales and other fundraising projects, a pro­ cess which would delay the renovation- due to slow cash flow. naveu 5 Bewitching Halloween! ...AT THE...

On April 30, 1978, a state historical marker was dedicated, and the Vermont­ ville Opera House was recognized as a Michigan Historic Site. “We have a real need for the Opera House,” said Houck. “Young people should have a meeting place for their activities as well as the community.” Houck pointed out that the village library is located on the ground floor of the Opera House and it remains in ser­ vice to Kalamo and Vermont­ ville area residents. She also noted melodramas are per­ formed on stage during the famous Vermontville Syrup Festival each spring.

Sit through half of a hyp­ nosis session offered by Maple Valley Community Eduction, be hypnotized two times while you’re there, and unless you’re convinced the seminar will work for you, you may have your money back.

Seminar participants will be hypnotized four times during the two-hour sessions and receive a cassette tape for reinforcement of the hypnotic suggestions at home. The tape, which has subliminal suggestions, features con­ scious conditioning on one side for listening while relaxing. Smokers generally need to listen to their tapes for seven days to assimilate a non­ smoker’s attitude, and weight clients should listen to their tapes regularly until they’ve achieved their desired weight loss. The same seminars have been offered by American Lung affiliates in 74 cities in 11 states, the Texas Public Health Association in 15 cities, the National Kidney Foundation of Louisiana in seven cities, and community education programs in 92 Michigan cities. To register for the clinics call the Maple Valley Com­ munity Education Office at 852-9275, Monday through Thursday 1-9:45 p.m. Self J?sych Clinical Hyp­ notist David Rowe will con­ duct the seminars, which are being offered this semester by 40 community education programs. “No smoker really wants to quit,” Rowe says. “Your conscious mind knows you SHOULD quit, but the sub­ conscious mind really doesn’t care. This battle between the two parts of the mind is also what prevents overweight people from sticking to their diets. They KNOW what they should eat: they just don’t feel like doing it.” Rowe’s hypnosis is design­ ed to get your subconscious mind to cooperate with your conscious mind’s desire for a Men’s & Womens’s HAIRSTYLING SPECIALS Call 726-0330 for appointment FOR THAT NEW Look Nancy's Beauty Shop 157 S.

When you look at the race for State Senate in the 20th District, the people have a clear choice: either be satisfied with politics as usual, or elect Richard Fitzpatrick. While Fitzpatrick has taken the "high road," discuss­ ing the issues and detailing his positive program for Michigan, his opponent has wallowed in typical political mud-slinging and cries of "party unity." Rep. Fitzpatrick has published a 16-page campaign paper with the specifics of what bills he'll introduce in the Senate as well as details of what he's accomplished over the past eight years in the legislature. Meanwhile, his opponents campaign has been full of name calling, personal smears and vague promises. Fitzpatrick continues to stress his philosophy that it isn't important if an idea is a "Republican" idea or a "Democrat" idea — only if it is a good idea. All we hear from his opponent is that people should support him because he's from the "right" political party. As Sen. Harry DeMaso said when he endorsed Fitzpatrick: "It's about time we stop worrying about ; which party controls which committee or who gets what title, and start putting Michigan first." Rep. Fitzpatrick makes it clear he will be a full-service Senator — not just attending a few legislative meetings but working full time, all day, every day, to serve his constituents. His opponent claims he can maintain a medical practice and still fit in being a Senator. The doctor wants full-time pay for part-time work. There is probably no clearer difference in the candidates than the question of experience. Rep. Fitzpatrick has been trained for eight years in the House of Representatives. He has gotten 38 of the bills he sponsored — and more than 100 of the ones he's co-sponsored — signeainto law. Even if his opponent were willing to give his full attention to the job, it would take years of experience for him to equal Fitzpatrick's knowledge and expertise. Let's profit from our eight-year investment in an effective and responsive legislator. Let's elect someone who will work full time for people like us. Rep. Richard FITZPATRICK for Senate Richard Fitzpatrick is endorsed by: Michigan Education Association Fraternal Order of Police United Transportation Union Michigan Automobile Dealers Association Lansing Labor Council Michigan Nurses Association National Organization for Women Michigan Teamsters Service Employees International Union Michigan Conservation Political Action Committee Paid for by the Fitzpatrick Senate Campaign, P.O. Box 1986, Battle Creek, Michigan 49016 Small Business Association of Michig an Michigan Occupational Therapy Association Michigan State Chiropractic Association Michigan Home Health Agencies International Union of Operating Michigan Townships Ass pociatiogn Engineers �You should hear what they’re saying about Fitzpatrick Governor James J. Blanchard “Richard Fitzpatrick has been very effective in his eight years in the House ofRepresentatives and is an important ally in the Legislature. Though Richard and I may not always agree, he is an experienced legislator who understands the issues and has a positive program to assist me in moving our state forward. Richard Fitzpatrick will be a strong voice for you in the Senate. He wi|l be the kind of Senator with whom I can work. I urge you to join me in supporting Richard Fitzpatrick and to give him your vote on November 4th.” Representative Debbie Stabenow 58th District, Ingham County “As both an Ingham County Commis­ sioner and State Representative, I have worked with the people ofDelhi Township and learned what their concerns and priorities are. I know that Richard Fitzpatrick will be a Senator who will work hard to represent their concerns in the Senate. Richaid and I have served together in the House of Representatives for the past eight years. Though we’ve sometimes disagreed on issues, he has always been an informed, conscientious legislator. Richard has the experience to get things done for his district. He has my full support in his bid for the Senate. I look forward to working with him to serve our constituents.” Jerry Spitler, President' Battle Creek Ford “The political world of Lansing is a totally different kind of place. It takes years to just leam your way around up there. I want a Senator who knows what he is doing. I want a Senator I can count on to be available when I need him. I’ve watched Richard Fitzpatrick leam the ropes in the House of Representative—I think he’s ready for a promotion to the Senate.” Nevenka Dines, Owner Dine’s Gift Shop, Grand Ledge Former Owner, Dine’s Restaurant, Lansing “As the owner of a small business, I am personally convinced that Richard Fitzpatrick will best serve the interests of small businesspersons like myself. The Small Business Association endorsement is an indication to me that Richard has worked hard and will continue to work hard for the concerns of small business owners. I have known Senator Harry DeMaso for years and have always respected and supported the role he has played in the State Senate. I trust his judgment and urge all voters who have appreciated Harry’s leadership to follow his lead and support the election of Richard Fitzpatrick.” Senator Harry A. DeMaso “Obviously, I have an interest in who will take my seat in the Senate. I want to see someone in the Senate who will carry on the work I’ve started in terms of international economic development. Some people may be surprised that a Republican would endorse a Democrat for his seat. But I’ve always been independent and I think Richard is the man for thisjob because he, too, is independent. He’s experienced in the Legislature and has a record of always putting his district and his state before party labels and politics. I can assure you that being a Senator is more than a full-time job. Richard has shown he has the willingness and energy to work hard to get things done for his district. He has my full support and endorsement for the Senate.” Dr. Marjorie Ross “Richard Fitzpatrick is a man dedicated to the constituents he serves. He is an independent thinker whose concern reaches beyond short term politics to those issues that have a lasting, positive effect on our community and state. Nothing is ever too small and trivial or too large and controversial for his responsible attention and action. I strongly support his election to the state Senate.” Kathryn Bosworth Former Eaton County Clerk “As a former Democratic Eaton County Clerk for sixteen years, I looked at Richard Fitzpatrick’s record very carefully. I totally agree with his independent approach to politics. I served the people ofEaton County with that same spirit and never lost an election in this Republican district. Richard Fitzpatrick showed he has a commitment to Eaton County by announcing his candidacy on the steps of the Old Court House and is working to secure funding for the Court House’s renovation. Richard has my full support. He will be an effective Senator for Eaton County.” Jon Olson Sheriff of Calhoun County “No one is more concerned about how laws are made than those whose job it is to enforce them. On behalfofthe citizens of Calhoun County in particular, and for the 83 Sheriffs of Michigan, I want to extend a very warm and personal ‘thank you’ to Rep. Fitzpatrick for the job he’s done for us in Lansing. I particularly appreciate his efforts to get three bills passed that allow counties to charge insurance companies and individuals those costs a county incurs for prisoner medical attention. These costs had been tremendous — I’ve heard from other SheriffDepartments around the state that are saving tens of thousands of dollars because of Fitzpatrick’s work.” Judith Ackerman Battle Creek ‘ ‘When I, as fundraising chairperson for a local non-profit agency, had a problem with the Michigan Lottery Bureau, I called Richard Fitzpatrick. He took the time to listen to my concerns and intervened to cut through the bureauc­ racy for us. His prompt attention and action on the Board’s behalf convinced me that Richard Fitzpatrick is the person I want representing me in the Senate. He will be a responsive and concerned Senator for all of us.” Rep. Richard FITZPUTRICK Paid for by the Fitzpatrick Senate Campaign, P.O.

During this school year at Maple Valley, the SADD chapter has established several committees with in­ dividual responsibilities con­ cerning the problem of alcoholism. The Peer Pressure commit­ tee will focus its attention toward educating younger school district children about the importance of saying “no” to alcohol. The commit­ tee will meet with fifth and sixth graders next spring, said Maple Valley SADD member, Mary Rugg. Another committee targets year end celebrations by seniors with its Project Graduation effort. The com­ mittee consists of all seniors and is meeting with other SADD chapters from Eaton and Ingham Counties to begin planning. Their main goal, said Rugg, is to ask all those who attend prom and gradua­ tion night activities to not drink and drive. “Someone could be killed when you drink and drive and that someone could be you,” EWING WELL DRILLING DRILLING and PUMP SERVICE RESIDENTIAL — COMMERCIAL & FARM (We service submersible pumps GRAVEL WELLS A SPECIALTY 726-0088 WE'VE GOT THE ABILITY, THE EXPERIENCE & THE EQUIPMENT TO SERVE YOU BEST! 10076 NASHVILLE HWY.

Head lice can occur at any age, but most often is found in school age children. Lice is a very communicable disease which is transmitted from one in­ dividual to another. Ways in which the disease is spread are: direct contact with an in­ fested person’s hair, sharing of combs, brushes, caps, scarves, etc.; contact between the clothing or bedding of an infested child. The symptoms of head lice are frequent scratching of the head. Advanced cases may show crusted skin or matted hair. Also, many times you can see visable nits or lice on the head, especially at the nape of the neck. When lice is discovered, the parent is notified, so that treatment can begin at once.

To show some of its Maple Valley spirit, the council created a “Welcoming” committee. These people will show new students around, helping them become acquainted with people and making new friends. The council is also thinking of selling small spirit items such as window and bumper stickers for cars. The Student Council offleets are planning to do some new activities to get some better ideas on how to operate their meetings and also to get some new ideas for school projects. One of the new activities is called a Student Council exchange. This is where the officers of our Stu­ dent Council go sit in on the council meetings of other schools. The officers from the other schools may also come to the council meetings of Maple Valley. The guidance counselor, Mr. Rooks, has arranged for a trip to Washington D.C. A few Student Council members will be able to stay in Washington for a week during the summer, and sit in on several senate meetings, to learn more and better ideas on how to organize the council meetings. Several members ofthe Student Council will be attending a meeting that will help Maple Valley to start a drug program that will be similiar to SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving). The Student Council voted to fund a project against drugs. One possible idea is to create a t-shirt with a logo opposing the use of drugs.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 115 - No. 16 — Tuesday. November 4, 1986 School Board approves M.5 million 1986-87 budget by Shelly Sulser The Maple Valley School District expects to have $4,536,759 to spend during the 1986-87 school year, it was announced last Monday. The board of education, which met in special session to approve the proposed operational budget, an­ ticipates school year expen­ ditures to reach $4,553,354, giving the schools an expected deficit of $16,595, $8,630 less than last year. However, District Superintendent Carroll Wolff explained that $44,280 budgeted for bus amortization is a state required budget item, and is not an actual ex­ penditure of money. “The balance is $27,685 so there truly isn’t a deficit,'” he said. Wolff also noted that a decrease in student enrollment (21 fewer than last year) has created a loss of state and local revenue. “In state aid and local pro­ perty tax, we get a total of $2,440.97 per student,” Wolff said. But in order to prevent the loss of revenue from causing a dent in this year’s budget, Wolff said the budget was based on the 1,664 total student enrollment for the 1986-87 school year. In terms of revenue, Wolff noted the schools have two sources of income — state aid funding and local property taxes. The budget indicates that $1,413,960 in property taxes is expected to be collected this year; $331,680 in delinquent Recording studio opens locally by Shelly Sulser Folks may not bat an eye when someone talks about country tunes made in Nashville, except maybe when they mean the Nashville ofthe north, Nashville, Mich. “Till My Dyin’ Day” and “The Way You Love Me” are two Nashville, Mich, original country songs writ­ ten, sung and produced by a Nashville resident. D. Hammond and Co. is a group currently making records at a new recording studio which recently came in­ to operation under the owner­ ship of Sandy Salyers, the originator of Sandyland Park. At Northway Music, located on N. State St., Salyers hopes more groups like D. Hammond and Co., lott and Price of Lansing and Southern Nights of Lansing will make use of his newest enterprise. “I feel that there are an awful lot of good entertainers and songwriters in the world that have never had a soun­ ding board for their material,” Salyers said. Being a former songwriter, singer, disc jockey and producer, Salyers prides himself • in his nearly 30 years ex­ perience in what he calls “the toughest business I know — the entertainment business.” Bom in Prestonburg, Ky., Salyers came to Nashville at the age of 12, after he had already begun his career in the music industry. In 1962, Salyers sang in Ernest Tubb’s Midnight Jam­ boree show at the Grand Ole Opry and began publishing his own songs in 1965. For eight years, Salyers worked as a disc jockey at Ionia radio station WION and has worked as a barber for 25 years. “That’s my bread and but­ ter job," Salyers explains. This year, Salyers and wife Ruby Faye celebrate their 40th anniversary. ‘‘She’s been with me through all my stupid ideas and good ideas,” he noted. “You know that saying, ‘behind every good man is a woman’? Well, she is beside me.” Salyers built Sandyland Park in 1979, where various famed performers had gigs during summer months before he sold the business in 1984. “It (the park) was great but it didn’t really meet my expectations,” he said. “But be- ing in music practically all my life, I said ‘why not?’ (when deciding to start the studio). “So I bought the oldest anti­ que in Nashville, the old Nashville News office, and spent two years remodeling it and buying equipment,” Salyers, noted. ‘‘There are a lot of unknown writers and artists in Michigan and I would like to help them publish and record,” Salyers said. “I feel that many gospel quartets, bluegrass music and country bands could use some help. “If they’re working, they should have a record for their fans,” he added. D. Hammond is Nor­ thway’s resident artist, songwriter and recording, engineer. He worked the soupd for the late Rick Nelson during his visit to Hastings two years ago, and was the sound engineer for Lee Greenwood, Marty Robbins, John Connally, Frizell and West and others at Sandyland Park. Hammond also worked the sound for the Rare Earth national tour, whose largest audience numbered 250,000. Hammond was bom in St. Johns, and lived in Perry until STUDIO, continuedpage 2 Hammond is the resident artist and engineer for Northway Music, which recently opened under the ownership of Sandy Salyers. taxes and $2,316,155 is the amount expected from state aid membership. Due to added teaching per­ sonnel, Wolff said clearly the largest expense this year is the $2,299,174 budgeted for elementary and junior-senior high school instruction. That amount is $76,177 over last year. “We now have 90 teachers as opposed to the 77 we had last year,” Wolff pointed out. More teachers were obtain­ ed after the junior-senior high school returned to five class period days rather than six. • Also, one elementary and one junior-senior high special education teacher was added; one elementary physical education teacher; one k-12 music teacher; and one elementary and one junior­ senior high school counselor. Wolff said three sections of fifth grade and three sections of sixth grade students at Kellogg Elementary School in Nashville created an added cost to the district as well. Roof repairs, gym floor sanding and other repairs are other major district expenses. In other action, the board also approved the revised hot lunch budget and the athletic fund budget. Administrator salaries were adjusted at the Oct. 27 meeting for the 1986-87 school year, with their annual income figures as follows: Junior/Senior High School Principal Larry Lenz will receive $35,761; Assistant Jr.-Sr. High Principal and Athletic Director Edward Sampson will earn $33,041; and Maplewood Principal Dave Doozan’s salary is $32,000. Kellogg-Fuller Elementary Schools’ Princiapl Joy Frith’s salary was agreed on upon her employment. After a closed negotiating session with the support ser­ vices personnel of the Maple Valley School District, Wolff said Friday still no agreement has been reached between the group and the school board. Wolff said there is still a disagreement on the nonteachers’ salaries. Due to the lack of a settle­ ment, the support group has had Michigan Education Association (MEA) negotiator Sue Schwab aiding in the bargaining process. Also helping with the talks is state mediator Judith Rhode. Wolff said he is not certain when the two sides will meet again. In other business, the board read a letter from the athletic boosters stating that board financial assistance is necessary if they are going to be able to continue the athletic program after the fall sports. Although it was stated in last week’s issue of the Maple Valley News that the board would be meeting with the boosters officials at the special meeting, the board decided the matter would be better handled at a regular board meeting, giving the public ap­ propriate notice of the situa­ tion, Wolff said. Another letter from the Fuller Street Elementary School staff was read which concerned the need for addi­ tional parking space at the school. The board decided to return a letter to the Fuller employees stating the matter is being referred to the transportation and facilities committee for review regar­ ding possible improvements. The board also agreed to authorize Larry Lenz and Bessie A. Smith to administer the Memorial Scholarship Fund, allowing either signature for check signing. New Variety Store to open in downtown Nashville A new variety store is tak­ ing shape in Nashville just at the time when the old one, Kelley’s Variety Store, is leaving. Kathy Mace, wife of Mace Pharmacy owner Dave Mace, is excited about her plans to occupy the old pharmacy at 207 N. Main St. “We’re going to have a large selection of sewing no­ tions and craft supplies, school and office supplies, helium balloons, Brach’s can­ dy .and craft classes,” she said. Mace said she felt this was a good time to open the store. “As soon as Max (Kelley) said he was going to go out of business, people starting say­ ing ‘what are we going to do without a dime store?’,” said Mace. “We had the building so we thought we might as well fill it up.” Not new to business, Mace is already in charge of all the non-pharmacy items at her husband’s establishment, and will remain in that capacity after her store opens in January. “Dave and I have always worked together at the phar­ macy and we will be working together at the new store,” she said. “I am really excited about the sewing notions and craft supplies department because I have wanted to have a store like that for a long time,” ad- ded Mace. Other items in the store, still unnamed, will include party supplies, frames, shoe strings, shoe polish and a baby section. Kathy Mace plans to open a variety shop in the old Mace Pharmacy building on Main Street. She hopes to be open for business the first of January. �The Mople Volley New*. Nashville.

Distributors are used to get the records to the public by selling to music stores, radio stations and juke boxes. To further boost a song’s chances of success, “we use Nashville (Tenn.) song pluggers who take the material to bigger artists.” Salyers said a song has a better chance at “the big time” if a big-time star will sing it. At present, Northway main­ tains contracts for the three bands of lott and Price, Southern Nights and D.

Its flipside is “Wishin ’Em Back”, written by band member Mike Motz. D.

Judy Quantrell, owner of the Country Kettle Cafe, said the incident originated when J.W. Brooks Squirt Company of Holland purchased the Grand Rapids Royal Crown company after it went out of business. The new Grand Rapids Royal Crown distributor then claimed Nashville was in its territory and not in the Lansing com­ pany’s distribution area. She said Nashville business owners who purchase Royal Crown pop in 10 oz. bottles and various Nehi flavors from the Lansing distributor wish to continue doing so, but have been informed the Grand Rapids branch is taking over rights to deliver in the village. Quantrell said she and others like her do not want pop from the Grand Rapids distributor because the cost for pop is higher, the bottle size is larger than the 10 oz. bottles they currently receive, and Nehi flavors are not available through them. She thinks customers prefer the 10 ounce bottles rather than the larger size. Quantrell said there is nothing to stop the Grand Rapids Royal Crown com­ pany from selling their pro­ duct in Nashville because there was never a written agreement between the Nashville businesses and the Lansing distributor. “At the time they started delivering here about 20 years ago, there was just a verbal agreement and no one else could take the town,” said Quantrell. In fact, “20 years ago, Grand Rapids didn’t want this town so Lansing said they would come and service start,” Quantrell said. this area,” Quantrell noted. Quantrell said she and other She explained both divi- Royal Crown customers in sions of the Royal Crown town are disturbed about the company can not deliver in the dispute. same town at the same time. “There is nothing we can “It has to be one or the do.

Tuesday November 4 1986 — Poge 4 Memories of the pas by Susan Hinckley Elections in Nashville were considered rarely dull Elections in early Nashville were rarely dull. They were nearly always exciting, riotous affairs, commencing with the very first, on April 7, 1869. when village officials were chosen in a somewhat unruly polling in which it was alleged that transient railroad workers were being allowed to cast ballots alongside local residents. In a Memories story published in November 1980, we traced the lively action Nashville witnessed at the time of the presidential race a century earlier, when in 1880 Republican James A. Garfield defeated Democratic can­ didate Winfield Hancock by a 3 to 1 margin. That was an era of highspirited partisan rallies in Nashville, with each political party trying to outdo the other in showmanship. One of the most traditional early cam­ paign events is unheard of today. “Pole-raising is the big order ofthe day and all parties seem determined to find and raise the tallest pole for their Republicans, Democrats, and the newly-organized Greenback Labor party all tried to upstage one another in Nashville during the lively 1880 U.S. presidential campaign — the era when as Clyde Francis recalled Electioneering knew no deadlines." Republican James A. Garfield emerged a winner in that 1880 race, but less than a year later he lay dead at the hands of an assassin, and Nashville and the nation were in a state of shock. own chosen banner,” observ­ ed The Nashville News in mid-October 1880. “On Wednesday our local Democrats brought to the ground a fine hickery pole, more than 100 feet long, and will have their gala pole­ raising tonight.” The News allowed that a “more enthusiastic’' Republican rally was held at Norton’s general store in Maple Grove for a large crowd gathered to hear “speeches galore.” Not to be outdone by either major political party, the newly-organized Greenback Labor party (supporting presidential candidate James B. Weaver on a platform ad­ vocating women’s suffrage, federal regulation of inter­ state commerce and a graduated income tax) got a jump on the campaign season with a spectacular anvil-firing rally in Nashville in September. Torchlight parades up and down Main Street were frequently used as campaign strategy by all par­ ties, but after the election results were in the victors had the final “hurrah” with a grand nighttime march through the business district. In his reminiscing column published in The Nashville News in the late 1920s under the heading, “Telling Tales Out of School,” the late Clyde W. Francis recalled those early elections in the days of his youth. Francis graduated with Nashville’s Class of 1880 and later went on to become a successful newspaperman in Michgian and Ohio. Following is his ac­ count of those early elections. ****** The kangaroo or Australian ballot had not been adopted before I, myself, had reached my majority. This new­ fangled style of voting wasn’t the brain-child of any of our Americans, and I suppose n«e ,a9ric“Itural ware room" of Glasgow hardware (seen in the center of this 1920s view of Central Park) served as one of Nashville's earliest polling places. Built in 1875-76 by merchant Charles Wolcott, the store was sold in 1881 to Cassius L. Glasgow of Jonesville, who retained control over 50 years while going on to become a local bank president, state senator and Michigan railroad commissioner. It was in his capacity as church song leader and "square-shooter" that Glasgow was remembered by young Clyde Francis. Torchlight parades up and down Nashville’s Main Street (seen here circa 1910) were part of the showmanship of early election campaigns. Such parades also served as a grand finale to the event, when members of the winning political party marched through the business district in celebration. In those days, especially before the turn of the century, pole-raisings also were spirited campaign rally events as each party tried to outdo the other in raising the highest stake from which to fly their party's banner. that’s why they had to adopt it to give it a legal standing. Give me those good old days when every political party had its own private ballot, even if that was about the extent of the secrecy of voting. Except on presidential years, the ballot was about the size of a dollar bill, and was quoted a little more than that when elections were close. “Electioneering knew no deadlines - you could lead a man right up to the ballot box with his ticket in his hand and watch it go in. Ballots were never thrown out on account •of some distinquishing mark; on the contrary some of our rock-ribbed party men were wont to write their names on the back of their ballots as did some of the rock and rye fellows - or no more rock and rye. The only Booth we knew was Edwin; the only Ward was Montgomery. You didn’t split your ticket with a cross, for the candidates came across with gummed stickers put up in little booklets like those postage stamp booklets. The fellows who were the poorest ‘runners’ had the printer run him off the most stickers. We kids used to collect as many different kinds of stickers as we could grab and the grabb­ ing was good as these booklets were plentiful in public places. Electors were not obliged to go to the polls to ‘fix up’ their ticket. Some were fixed in blacksmith shops, barber­ shops, and some, undoubted­ ly, would have been fixed in gin shops had not election day automatically closed the saloons. “These stickers were put to uses other than voting. I have seen an anti-amusement can­ didate’s stickers upholding an Uncle Tom’s Cabin poster .in Al Rasey’s barbershop. Many a window has had its cracked pane fixed up with these political name plasters. Once at a Sunday school picnic at Thomapple Lake I observed some tumblers of crabapple jelly labeled with the name of one of our village presidents. Of course these were nothing but distinguish­ ed marks to enable the woman to identify her own glassware. But I am exceedingly glad that the womenfolks have passed this crabapple stage ofvoting the men crabbed the suffrage privilege too long. An say, wouldn’t it be fun­ ny if the women throughout the Land ofthe Free should all get together next November and label Al Smith ‘applesauce. ’ “It didn't take-long to count the ballots. By ten in the even­ ing the successfill ones were Barbershops were a favorite spot for plastering politi­ cal name stickers, recalled Clyde Francis, and some Nashville business places actually used the ballot stickers to patch cracked window panes. The tags, bearing names of local candidates, were used for more than voting, said Francis, as he remembered with shame a youthful prank. This early photo shows the shop of Frank J. Purchis, longtime local barber. passing around the cigars; the losers were handing out an alibi. There was always a crowd to watch the officials counting the ballots. In fact these ballots were candled the seme as Brooks and Smith candled eggs. You could tell very quickly whether a ticket was split by holding it up to a kerosene lamp. If there were any dark spots showing up on apparently good Republican or Democrat ballots, it indicated that the elector hadn’t put all of his suffrage eggs in­ to one party basket. Or in other words, these dark streaks were stickers. The ‘splits’ and ‘straights’ were separated before the tallying commenced. Sometimes when party lines were drawn real light then some fellow like Henry Roe would take the bits in his teeth and run away with the votes forr supervisor. “Yes, we kids collected political stickers and stuck them in the most unheard of places. I am honestly ashamed to admit that a couple of us desecrated a Sunday school song book one day in church. If C. L. Glasgow had happened to pick it up when he started in to lead the singing that Sabbath morning he would have found something like this: ‘O the perfect peace that overflows the soul; The peace that comes from Elihu Chipman, Justice of the Peace.’ Now I always thought C. L. was the best tenor I ever heard, but the chances are he wouldn’t have continued in the even tenor of his way had he started in on this one: ‘Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, Snatch them in pity from. Oliver Long, Sheriff.’ “Of course, I can’t say for certain just how C.L. would have acted ifthis politico-song book had fallen into his hands, but I know now he acted when he dealt in a business way with youngsters. He sold me a pair of ice skates one day, and one of them ‘busted’ the first time out on the ice. Did he say I had no business jumping over barrels, when I mentioned the fact and showed the skate? He did not, but gave me another pair of skates, and remarked that there must have been a flaw in the skate. There is is aa square-shooter square-shooter for for you. you. II got to thinking maybe there wasn’t any flaw in the skate skate, but he showed it to me and I felt better. However, there were no flaws in the manner Glasgow treated his kid customers.” Sign up for Adult Education 2nd term casses egn Second term-will be beginn­ ing November 10 for the Maple Valley adult education classes.

(VL-192) Representative Nash said the projects will be paid for with funds from the Federal Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program and the Michigan Critical Bridge Program. In Eaton County those bridges which are scheduled for repair or replacement are the M-100 Bridge and the Mason Road over Thornapple Creek Bridge. In addition, the following bridges are also scheduled: Ionia Road over Shanty Brook, Otto Road over Chaflin Drain, Springport Road over the Peacock Exten­ sion, Nye Highway over the Battle Creek River, and Kinsel Highway over the Lit­ tle Thomapple River. The bridges were recom­ mended for replacement by a nine-member committee set up under the Michigan Critical Bridge Program. The committee, represen­ ting the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the 83 county road commis­ sions and the municipal street agencies, establishes priority for bridge replacement. Their decisions are based on the condition ofthe bridge, its im­ portance to the street or road network and the local agency’s ability to finance its share of construction. On most of the bridges, federal funds pay 80 percent of the cost, and the state and local agencies pay 10 percent each. Each year of the state allocates $5 million for the critical bridge program.

The Michigan Affiliate of the American Diabetes Association will sponsor free diabetes screening tests throughout Michigan in cooperation with hospitals and health facilities during Diabetes Detection Week. In Eaton County, free diabetes screening is available this week through Friday, Nov. 7 at Hayes-Green-Beach Hospital in Charlotte. Hours are 9 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m. each day and evening hours will be added on Nov. 4 and 6 from 6-8 p.m. Registra­ tion is at the Red Cross volunteer’s desk. In Barry County, the screening is available at Pen­ nock Hospital in Hastings from 8 to 11 a.m. and 2 to 3:30 p.m. each day this week through Friday, Nov. 7. Testing will be done in the hospital laboratory. v2 : .1.1 .................. vI2t :is estimat.e1d.1that..t.h .e .r.e are approximately 600,000 people in Michigan who have diabetes, and 240,000 ofthese are unaware that they have it. The purpose of this drive is to identify these people and to alert them to the need for pro­ per treatment. The earlier diabetes is detected, the better. Diabetes with its complica­ tions is the third leading cause ofdeath by disease in the U.S. Diabetes causes heart disease, kidney disease and blindness. The testing is limited to those over 18 years of age and persons who have not previously been diagnosed as diabetic. To assure an ac­ curate test, it is important to eat a high carbohydrate meal, one with large amounts of starches and sugars, two hours before the test. A good breakfast to have before the test, for example, would be fruit or juice, cereal with milk and sugar, two slices of but­ tered toast with jam, and cof­ fee or tea. A person planning to take the test after lunch . could have a bowl of soup, a sandwich, cake or pie for dessert, and a glass of milk. The meal should be eaten within a 15-minute time period and nothing else except water should be taken before the test. People who are over 40, overweight, and blood relatives of persons with diabetes are particularly urged to take the test since they are in the “high risk” group of those most likely to develop diabetes. The most common symptoms of diabetes are ex­ cessive thirst, frequent urina­ tion, blurring vision, constant hunger, or the slow healing of cuts and scratches. The disease, however, may be pre­ sent without any symptoms. Although a year-round ef­ fort is made to educate the public about the seriousness of diabetes, a more concentrated effort is made during the month of November. .

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Vol. 115 - No. 17 - Tuesday, November 11, 1986 Vermontville Village and Twp. discuss future of Police Department by Shelly Sulser A sub-committee of village and township members plans to meet later this month to discuss whether the Vermont­ ville Township Police Depart­ ment will continue to operate. “Financially, we can not support a police department by ourselves,” said Vermont­ ville Village President Sue Villanueva. She said the loss of federal revenue sharing funds and low interest rates have caused the two Vermont­ ville governmental units to take a look at the future of the police department. “If the township can notz continue to help, I don’t feel we would be able to support the department alone,” she said. Township Supervisor Ed Sampson said he told Villanueva there is a possibili­ ty the township may not par­ ticipate in funding the joint village-township police department. Sampson said two members from the township board hope to meet with two members of the village council to “sit and look at some alternatives. “The township does not Unfair labor practices filed against M.V. School Board by Shelly Sulser Due to what the Maple Valley non-teaching staff feels is “bad faith bargaining”, an unfair labor practice com­ plaint has been filed against the board of education. Chief Negotiator for the Maple Valley Support Person­ nel Sue Schwab said the com­ plaint was filed with the Michigan Employment Rela­ tions Commission (MERC), citing at least three alleged violations that have occured during ongoing contract negotiations. Schwab claimed the board replaced members of its bargaining team without of­ ficial board action. Approved by the board on July 24 to serve on the support staff negotiating team was board President David Hawkins serving as chairman, along with Paula Cole and Beatrice Pino. Schwab said when she and her nine member bargaining unit arrived for negotiations at an October 23 mediation ses­ sion,. “we .found, that the board had an entirely new team and there had been no board action to that effect.” The new team, she said, consisted of board member Dale Ossenheimer, Ken Mead and Pino. Hawkins, who was reported to have removed himself from the negotiations committee due to a conflict of interest, said he resigned from the team because he felt new members would provide new ideas leading to a contract settlement. SCHOOL BOARD cont. apge 2 want to take on operation of the police department (entire­ ly),” he said. Some members of the township board, said Samp­ son, feel the township should not be participating in the police department operation. “I personally am in favor of having the police department in the community but some feel we shouldn’t be a part,” Sampson said. Currently, the village budgets $54,810 for the police department, Village Clerk Sharon Stewart said. Of that amount, the township paid $5,000 last year, and is being billed twice that by the village this year. Sampson said the village re­ quests more money of the board each year for the police department, which currently retains two officers and one car. “It’s the same old question, ‘are we big enough to support our own department? Is it worth the amount it’s costing us?’ Those are questions that have been around since the department has been around, ’ ’ he said. Sampson said the township has helped in the funding of the police department since it was formed nearly six years ago. The money to maintain the police department is spent for officer training, dues, equip­ ment, ammunition and uniforms, as well as salaries for the two full time officers John Stidham and Jim Fawcett. At the Vermontville Village Council meeting Thursday, trustee Rod Hannon express­ ed concern that the future of the police department should be decided before the fiscal year is completed. “Now is the time to let the guys (officers) know ifthey’re going to be here next year,” Harmon said. “I think hones­ ty is the best policy and we should not proceed with the wage agreement unless we know whether they’re going to be here.” “We can’t sit here and say ‘yes, we will’ or ‘no, we won’t’ (fund the deparment),” said Village Presi­ dent Sue Villanueva. “We’ll have to sit and look at it and if we can’t afford it, it will go.” Former councilman Jim Peterson suggested the issue be put to a vote of the people in the form of a millage re­ quest for police protection. “If the council can’t put money in the budget for it and you have to go for millage, leave it up to the people to decide if they want it,” he said. Harmon said it would take tripling taxes to continue with the department. “That’s why you should put it before the public,” Peterson said. Villanueva said Monday that she feels it should be put to a vote of the people. Trustee Joe Ann Nehmer agreed, saying “it’s the peo­ ple who should decide.” Villanueva said the council will wait until the end of the month when some conclusion is expected to be reached bet­ ween the village and township. “It’s really hard,’’ Villanueva said Monday. “We’re just starting to ex­ plore the angles of it. ” Maple Valley grad named "Coach of the Year in Southcentral Junior Football Conference Will Yost, a 1966 graduate of Maple Valley High School who now resides in Marshall, has been selected as “Coach of the Year” in the Southcen­ Football Junior tral Conference. A six year veteran of coaching in the conference, Yost has coached the Marshall Bulldogs throughout his career and led the team to a 6-0 record this year. Yost was thrilled with receiving the coach ofthe year award.

The sheriff’s department received a call at 2:27 p.m., stating the bank had been held up. Although details were sket­ chy at press time, it is known the sheriff’s department broadcast the description of the suspect shortly after the incident. The subject was apparently a white male, clad in a light blue sweatshirt, orange camouflage hat, camouflage pants and mirrored sunglasses. He was reported to have escaped on foot. No weapon was apparently seen. At press time, it was not known if the suspect was caught or how much money he obtained from the hold-up.

Hawkins added the board had previously informed sup­ port staff union zone director Bill Blick the board would be replacing two negotiating team members. “We had reached a ten- ed, partly due to a “general lack of bargaining in good faith” by “failing to provide financial information” by the specified date. Schwab pointed out that Hawkins had bean the chief spokesperson prior to the revamping of the' negotiating team. Now, she said, Superinten­ dent Caroil) Wolff “is doing all the talking aid I would assume the person who does the most talking is the spokesperson.” However, Schwab said she questions whether the new board team does in fact consist of the actual negotiators. “I wondered (on Oct. 23) if we were dealing with messengers as opposed to principals,” Schwab said. “Am I really dealing with the main players?” Schwab said a second viola­ tion prompting the formal complaint involved a breach of previously agreed upon “ground rules,” by the board negotiating team members. At the Oct. 23 mediation tative agreement and their membership turned it down twice,” said Hawkins. “After turning it down twice, I would assume things have to start over again.” In a letter to Blick from the board, dated Sept. 22, 1986, six recommendations were made concerning negotia­ tions, one of which suggested the union bargaining unit replace its team members as weH in order to expedite a setset­ tlemerit, ^Hawkins said.

MAIN, VERMONTVILLE Ik^NoPtMmfiop&r session, Schwab said the new board negotiating team illegal­ ly presented three new con­ tract proposals. “You don’t do that. We have printed ground rules, dated April 21, 1986, stating they will present the entire bargaining proposal by pie end of the second bargaining session,” said Schwab. “After seven months of bargaining, you don’t just up and come up with new proposals.” In all, Schwab said there have been 14 negotiating ses­ sions and three mediation ses­ sions with the board negotiating team, beginning Mar. 24. With most meetings lasting six to eight hours, over 100 hours have been spent in support staff contract talks. She said another portion of the complaint deals with the alleged failure by the superintendent to provide ac­ curate information concerning wages. She felt Superinten­ dent Wolff was not consistent when presenting wage rates. “As late as September, he was giving different rates for job units,” she said. “The rates he would give us would conflict with what he had previously told us. The rates were too low,” Schwab said. Schwab said a law judge will handle the complaint. Concerning the support staff contract, “I think it could be settled in an hour,” she said. It would take the board getting off some of the issues and concentrating on the six items presented.” Schwab said her group had sent a letter, dated Oct. 16, to Wolff outlining six items desired by the group in order for an agreement to be reached. So far, two of the six items have been agreed upon, Schwab said.

Most of the deficiencies in­ crease the potential for “can’t starts” on cold mornings, and some, such as dirty air filter elements and low tire pressure, decrease gasoline mileage. “Some problems, such as low brake and power steering fluids, non-working lights and worn wiper blades, can be dangerous if not corrected,” Tellier said. AAA recommends that motorists perform the 12-point check on their autos monthly, especially in winter. The check can be done in about 30 minutes and should always be done on level ground. Only nine percent of the more than 6,500 cars inspected at 20 AAA Michigan C- ar C~ are Clinics last winter passed a simple 12-point maintenance inspection. “Nearly half of the cars we inspected had anti-freeze that was too low or too weak for winter protection,” said AAA Michigan Emergency Road Service Manager Robert Tellier. “That is an invitation to expensive cold-weather trouble.” The following is a list ofthe problems, and the percentage of. vehicles having them, found by AAA Michigan representatives at the 1985 Winter Car Care Clinics: Anti-freeze level low or strength improper, 49 percent; low windshield solvent, 42; low tire pressure, 41; low motor oil, 27 percent; dirty air filter element, 25; worn belts and/or hoses, 19; low brake fluid and dirty battery cables, both 17; low transmission fluid and worn wiper blades, both 11; lights and directional signals not working and low power steering fluid, both 9. continued from front pag “It’s so gratifying to me; it’s the best thing that’s hap­ pened to me since I came back from Vietnam,” he said. “It was a lifetime dream., .to get a chance to coach.” During the football season, Yost spends a couple of hours a night, four nights a week with his team.

Dexter. Of 637 casting ballots for the township board position, 410 were for Jarvie, while 227 voted for Dexter. Both Jarvie and Dexter were newcomers to the political arena in the August primary and the November general election, hoping to replace Sharon Bishop who resigned. Jarvie, 52, lives at 1954 Price Road, Nashville. After 30 years in the teaching pro­ fession, 20 years at Maple Valley, Jarvie recently retired as home economics teacher. Jarvie said she decided to become a candidate for the post because she is interested in township government and enjoys working with people. She felt since her retirement, she now has time to devote to township business. She and husband Elmer, have three children, Mark, 29, Joy Redmond, 27 and Joseph, 26.

The building was named for its owner, Frank McDerby, who operated a dry goods and grocery store for more than 40 years, selling out in this location to Frank Caley at the time of his retirement in 1926. In later years this building housed Nashville's post office. Machinery was being set in place at the new Lentz Table factory in mid-November 1891, and by Thanksgiving Day the plant was operational. The new facility on Lentz Street was built to replace one in the business district that was destroyed by fire earlier that year. This photo taken some 25 years later shows a rail shipment otf lumber being unloaded at what was then Nashville's largest employer. From left are Frank Hecker, Dell White, Sandy Walker, John Woodard and Bert Heckathorn. Primary school money in the amount of $2 per scholar, the largest sum ever granted at that time, was received in November 1901 by local districts. Five years later The Nashville News reported the following township allocation of these annual funds: "Castleton Township gets $6,941 for its share of the primary school money now being apportioned. Maple Grove gets $3,388, and Assyria gets $3,168." This undated photo of the Dunham school in Maple Grove Township is of that era. poultry to New York Tuesday.

Nashville, Tuesday, November 11, 1986 — Page 6 Local students attend college summer institutes “It was the best experience I’ve had”, Jeff Hudson, senior at Maple Valley High School, said of his two weeks stay at Eastern Michigan University’s Summer Institute for the Arts and Sciences last summer. “My whole view changed. That’s a pretty serious statement, but that’s the best way I could sum­ marize my experience at Eastern.” Jeff, a slim, sandy haired stand up comic was one of six talented students honored Thursday evening, Oct. 28, at a reception for summer in­ stitute participants from Eaton area high schools held at Eaton Intermediate School District. He’s bright, creative and overflowing with en­ thusiasm. He expressed himself in one liners that may become competition for Bill Cosby’s corner on the humor market in the very near future. Dr. Kenneth Waltzer, James Madison College, MSU, offered those in atten­ dance some comments from a teacher’s perspective, having worked with institute par­ ticipants at the Olivet site: “It’s a wonderful two week intensive experience for students in self-discovery,” Waltzer said, “it’s not a col­ lege experience. It’s not a skills experience. It is a rounded intensive broadening experience.

Main, Nashville 852-9473 are many people like you with similar drive and talent. ” (Dr. Waltzer shared with students his special fascination for and understanding of immigrants as his contribution to the Olivet Institute.) “I can give no greater per­ sonal endorsement than to say, “I hope my own son will attend one ofthe Institutes this summer,” Waltzer said, speaking with obvious com­ mitment and intensity. After a brief slide show docomenting the origin, ob­ jectives and structure of the institutes, each of the six in­ stitute participants took a few minutes to share some insights about the relevance ofthe two weeks for them: “Learning what to do when you don’t know what to do,” was how Sime Curkovic, senior at Potterville High School, captured the essence of his stay at Northern Michigan University’s In­ stitute. Sime has always been an outstanding student at Pot­ terville, easily earning A’s in all his classes, but at Nor­ thern, he found out that: “...I was just average there.” Given math problems that he was unable to solve easily was a bit of a jolt. He had to sit back and analyze just how it is that you attack problems that don’t have sim­ ple, easily attained solutions.

The Summer Institutes have been offered since 1982 and are intended to make available to highly talented high school sophomores and juniors an opportunity to explore in­ depth a special area of in­ terest, to explore other in­ terests and to perhaps begin to focus more specifically on what might for them become a life work.

Eaton area schools have been fortunate to see virtually all their nominees placed at one of the institutes and many alternates as well.

Along with the math, which was WORK, Sime made friendships which were FUN and which he says “will last a lifetime.” “When my parents dropped me off at the Institute, one of the directors promised (or perhaps threatened) them that they would bring home a dif­ ferent person,” Mike Hawks, senior at Potterville High School, said of his entry into Central Michigan Univer­ sity’s Institute, “...even this warning could not prepare them for the change. They could not have believed that the shy, quite, little teenager they dropped off could become so confident, outgo­ ing and mature in only two weeks. I learned so much about leadership and friend­ ship from these ninety-eight wonderful people, that I changed. “It’s not knowledge that can be taught, or even really learned, but one day a realiza­ tion just hits you, and you’re never the same again. It’s an attitude,” Hawks said. “You can learn anywhere, but this was a different experience.” ‘ ‘I thought it would be math 24 hours a day,” Tad Schultz, senior at Potterville High School, said of his stay at Northern. But, “we got to do stuff like see mountains and I wore out a pair of shoes play­ ing soccer.” And of the math he went there for he said, “My old techniques of just sitting in class and listening did not work!” Like Sime, Tad found math involves more than manipulation of symbols. It has an exhilarating language of it’s own and is creative as well. “Wish I could repeat,” Tad said, voicing what many of the participants felt. Kelly Hoefler, a poised, at­ tractive junior from Maple Valley High School, who at­ tended the Institute at Olivet, valued particularly the oppor­ tunity to engage in discussions of issues in which student opi­ nions were respected. “I learned how to express my feelings and opinions in a way that might influence others,” Hoefler said. “I hope whatever college I select has a summer program for kids, so I can be a counselor and help people like I was helped.” The Michigan Department of Education Summer In­ stitutes for the Arts and HOME ON (VL-162, VL-163) PRICE home, wood add-on furnace, SOUTH OF HASTINGS.

Sadly, it is an often misdiagnosed disease. According to Thomas P. Price, National Executive Director of the National Reye’s Syndrome Founda­ tion, “Parents of children from infancy to young adulthood should become aware of this deadly disease and know its symptoms.” “Reye’s Syndrome can develop three to five days after the onset of the flu, chicken pox, an upper respiratory illness or other viral infections,” Price said. It affects all organs of the body, but most lethally, the liver and brain. It is noncontagious and is often misdiagnosed as encephalitis, meningitis, diabetes, poison­ ing, drug overdose or sudden infant death. “After a viral infection has seemingly run its course,” Price added, “and a child is feeling better, the following symptoms should be treated as serious and as possibly the first indication of Reye’s Syn­ drome.” The American Academy of Pediatrics also warns that aspirin may in­ crease the risk of developing Reye’s Syndrome, and parents should avoid the use of aspirin when a child or young adult is recovering from the flu or chicken pox. Anti-nausea medication may mask the symptoms of Reye’s Syndrome, and parents should consult their physician before using these drugs. To coincide with National Reye’s Syn­ drome Month, the Foundation has launched a massive public educational campaign releas­ ing Awareness Bulletins to our area schools. “We will be reaching countless households with Reye’s Syndrome fact sheets in an effort to alert the public to the risk factor in­ volved with aspirin, early symptoms and the importance of prompt diagnosis,” Price said. Parents should watch for these symptoms, usually oc­ curring in this order: Persistant or continuous vomiting; Listlessness (loss of pep and engery, drowsiness); Personality changes (such as irritability, combativeness or slurred speech); Disorienta­ tion (unable to identify whereabouts of family members); and Delirium and convulsions. A child’s life can depend on early diagnosis. If any of the above symptoms develop in a child or young adult, medical attention should be sought immediately.

The Opera House Restora­ tion Committee, headed by Pat O’Dell, had requested the tax funding to pick up a nearly $50,000 tab to return the historic site to a safe and usable condition. “We only lost by 20 votes. That’s not bad at all. We felt it would be more than that,” she said. O’Dell said she understood why voters were not in favor of having their taxes raised. “Everybody’s getting hit hard with taxes,” she said. She added it was possible that voters became confused when facing the proposal at the polls because there were two issues concerning the millage re­ quest on the ballot. O’Dell said her committee is now targeting the Nov. 1988 election to make a se­ cond bid for the funds. In the meantime, the com­ mittee will continue to hold various fundraisers, including a special Tupperware party in late January. Summer Institutues continued from previous page in the counseling offices of area high schools in January. Students interested in apply­ ing for admission should re­ quest an application and begin completing the forms early to allow themselves time to thoughtfully answer the ques­ tions it asks and solicit the needed endorsements. The last thing you need now is a problem with mobile home insurance that doesn’t treat you special. If your mobile home has become a very special homestead, you need special coverage. You don’t need a problem with insurance that charges high rates for minimal protection. Auto-Owners Mobile Home Special Policy offers replacement cost coverage without depreciation to qualified mobile homes. Discounts are available for new mobile homes...and to retirees. Just ask your “no problem” Auto-Owners agent how he could insure your mobile home. It may be especially good news.

There are one million deer roaming the fields and woods of Michigan and several hundred thousand will be harvested dur­ ing the season. Hunters must have a license and wear “hunter orange” when in the field. All hunters are encouraged to observe all safety rules and never drink before going hunting. DRIVE WITH CARE DURING HUNTING SEASON Drivers are reminded to drive with extreme care in rural areas during hunting season. There were 28,968 car-deer accidents in Michigan last year. Damage to cars averaged $1,200 per ac­ cident in 1985. OPERATING ROOM NURSES DAY - Friday, Nov. 14, 1986 has been declared Operating Nurses Day in Michigan. There are over 35,000 operating nurses nationwide who are members of the Association of Operating Room Nurses. They are working to encourage cooperative action by registered nurses to improve the quality of nursing care in the operating room. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11 - VETERANS DAY - The citizens ofthe State of Michigan live in freedom today because of the contributions and sacrifices made by the men and women who serve in the armed forces when our liberty was challenged. It is fitting to extend thanks and praise to the 1.2 million veterans who live in Michigan during our observance of their national holiday. SCHOOL VOLUNTEER DAY - Wednesday, Nov. 12, 1986 has been declared School Volunteer Day in Michigan. The success of our children in school stems from the com­ petency and dedication of the teachers, combined with the commitment of students, parents and school volunteers. One in every five Michigan citizens acts as a school volunteer and pro­ vides an extra dimension of personalized instruction which contributed greatly to the educational experience. These volunteers contribute daily to the enhancement ofthe quality of instruction in our schools and thus to the development of an educated and informed citizenry. Michigan voters give high marks to schools in recent poll A recent survey showed a majority ofvoters are satisfied with their schools, and believe high taxes and crime rates currently need more attention from government than education. The survey, conducted among more than 1,000 Michigan voters, also reveal­ ed that Michigan voters object to property taxes as the primary means of paying for education. Less than 20 per­ cent of those surveyed favor property taxes as the sole source of funding for public schools. Sixteen percent said the state income tax should be the primary support for educa­ tion, while 53 percent said they approve of a combination ofthe two tax levies to support schools. Other survey results showed: —A majority of persons polled oppose unregulated home schools. —Voters are split on whether corporal punishment, such as spanking, should be used as a disciplinary measure in schools. —The majority of voters in the sample dislike the propos­ ed voucher system. —Approximately half of the respondents believe the police should discipline students ac­ cused of serious offenses such as assault, drug sales or possession of a weapon, as opposed to parents or school officials. New methods of financing Michigan's public schools have been the focus of a great deal of legislative debate over the past few years. Several proposals are being con­ sidered in both the state House and Senate. The survey results affirm the fact that Michigan residents are overburdened with property taxes. This Legislature needs to work diligently to find a more effi­ cient and equitable way to fund the state’s public schools. COBB The tax reform plan recent­ ly signed by President Reagan will affect Michigan’s unemployment compensation law and the benefits paid to recipients. Six million workers will be removed from the tax rolls na­ tionally, and millions more low-income workers wilt pay less federal taxes under the tax reform law. All of these in­ dividuals will have greater after-tax income and therefore will be eligible for higher unemployment benefits ifthey live in Michigan. The Michigan Employment Security Commission (MESC) will not be able to provide specific levels under the nex tax law until the Inter­ nal Revenue Service issues new tax withholding tables. Unemployment costs to each employer are based, in part, on the number of workers who file successfill claims for benefits and the number of dollars paid by the MESC to those who make claims. Unemployment costs will increase for employers of low-wage individuals because of higher benefits paid. Suffi­ cient data is not yet available to determine the extent of the increase, but it is expected to be relatively small. With the tax law changes, some workers will pay higher taxes on unemployment benefits. Under current law, unemployment benefits are exempt from federal taxes if the benefits combined with other taxable income do not exceed $12,000 for an in­ dividual or $18,000 for a cou­ ple filing a joint return. Therefore, a person who earns $12,000 must pay taxes on $12,000 under current law. However, an individual who earns $10,000 and receives $2,000 in unemployment benefits must pay taxes on on­ ly $10,000. The new federal tax law requires that all unemployment benefits be considered taxable income. The new tax law exempts some agricultural employers from unemployment compen­ sation taxes. Both federal and state law require that agricultural employers who hire 10 persons for 20 weeks each, or pay a quarterly payroll of $20,000 in at least one quarter per year are covered under the unemploy­ ment law, and must pay federal and state unemploy­ ment taxes. The tax reform plan pro­ vides for a change in the criteria quarterly for agrucultural employers for unemployment tax liability from $20,000 per quarter to $40,000 per quarter. This move will exempt many farmers from federal u’n employment tax requirements. Study Says Seniors Need To Stay In Workforce A state government task force recently released a report that said early retire­ ment and misconceptions about the productivity ofolder workers have significantly cut their numbers in the labor force at a crucial time. Task force officials say Michigan will have more jobs than workers in the next 30 years unless labor patterns change to keep senior citizens employed. The study also indicated that women, who make up a larger portion of the senior citizen population than men, often have jobs with lower pay. Therefore, women save less during their lifetime or they have smaller pensions to subsist on. Census figures show that about 14 percent of the state’s residents are 55 or older. One of the most prominent difficulties with keeping the elderly employed is that many feel they cannot be retrained for other jobs late in life. The task force wisely recommend­ ed the use of statewide train­ ing and educational programs for senior citizens.

Vol. 115 ■ No. IS — Tuesday November 18 IOfM> Robber makes second hit at Nashville bank by Mary Warner and Shelly Suber The talk in Nashville is, ‘the man obviously knows what he’s doing’. A subject who escaped with an undetermined amount of cash from Eaton Federal Sav­ ings and Loan in Nashville last Monday is believed to have been the same man who held up the bank on Sept. 5. “He’s doing everything he can to say ‘catch me’," Sgt. Gene Koetje of the Nashville Police Department said. The man, described as a 5’-IO", 170-pound white male with biondish-brown hair, approximately 27 to 28 years old, walked in the bank at 2:30 p.m. Friday and demanded money, Koetje said. “No weapon was seen, and no one was hurt,” Koetje said. The man left an orange Crush bottle in the bank counter, but the possibility of obtaining fingerprints from it is slim because the subject was wearing gloves. Koetje said. He also tossed back a number of one dollar bills on­ to the counter, seeming to prefer only the larger bills. The man then left the bank with an undetermined amount of cash and headed south down Main Street on foot. Husbands question police coverage Husbands of two Eaton Federal Savings and Loan employees questioned the Nashville Village Council Thursday concerning local police coverage, noting no of­ ficers were on duty last Mon­ day when the bank was robbed for the second time in two months. “It seems things are getting a little out of hand,” said Mike Meade, husband ofbank manager Dawn Meade. “So­ meone should be around to catch this guy.’ Meade accused the police department of failing to cite Individuals for “driving repeatedly down Main Street with no licenses” and failing to arrest people in town with warrants. “If they would start at the bottom and work their way up, maybe things like this (robbery) wouldn't happen.” The complaint follows similar complaints made by Eaton Federal employees after the first robbery Sept. 5. At that time, tellers were outrag­ ed no Nashville officers were on duty at the time of the heist. Although they had re­ quested another fujl time of­ ficer be hired by the village to cover time not patrolled by the current two officers, the coun­ cil agreed to hire a part-time officer. The council said they could not afford to hire a third full time officer. Although part-time officer, Tom Tcitsma had been obtain­ ed by the time the bank was robbed the second time, he had not been placed on duty because he had not finished training. However, Village President John Hughes felt response to last Monday’s robbery by off duty officer Gene Koetje was commendable. “We were there within four minutes,” Hughes said. Hughes said currently. three week days are covered while officers are on patrol seven nights per week. “Friday coverage was preferred by the bank employees because many peo­ ple were cashing payroll checks on that day.” said Hughes. “So we are making sure we have an officer on du­ ty on Friday. Then we have two other days we have to cover. Monday happened to be a day we didn't have anyone on duty. However, at the time of the robbery, he (Koetje) did respond. “I just wonder if we had had five police officers on du­ ty, if they were not in the bank, would we have stopped it?” Hughes said. “I don’t think we would have. We’re trying the best we can with the resources we’ve got.” Meade, accompanied to the council meeting by Hank Felder, husband of teller Husbands continued page 2 Koetje specul ated that the rob­ ber had a car parked some distance away from the scene of the crime. Koetje did not think the rob­ ber was a local man, saying that the bank's three tellers are local residents and are likely, to have recognized the robber's face ifhe lived in the area. However, it was noted by Nashville resident Mike Meade that the man only seems to appear when the bank manager is not present. “Both times the bank was robbed, she was not there.” he said, noting a possibility the man may be afraid of be­ ing recognized by her. “We're continuing to chase down every lead there is,” said Koetje said. “But so far we haven’t come up with anything concrete.” The bank was robbed the first time two months ago shortly after 1 p.m. on a Fri­ day afternoon. Police believe it was the first bank robbery in memory in Barry County. Tellers reported then that a white male, age 30 to 35, wearing a light blue stocking cap, jean jacket and green sweatshirt, strode into the bank and demanded money. No weapon was used in that robbery either, police said, “but (the robber) did have his fingers taped,” Detective Sgt. Ken DeMott of the Barry County Sheriff’s Department said after the first robbery. “To me, that means he doesn't want to leave any Bank cameras revealed the man that robbed Eaton Federal Savings and Loan last week. fingerprints, to the tellers, that tells them he means business,” he said. Most banks have policies that require tellers to cooperate with robbers, Koet- je said, even if a weapon is not evident. No photographs were ob­ tained of thc/suspect from the previous robbery, but several Robbery continued page 2 Kelley’s Variety to say good-bye after 31 years by Shelly Sulser With the final ring of the cash register, a friendly smile and a wave of the hand, a business that has thrived on Nashville’s Main Street for 31 years will soon close its doors and fade into history. Max and Ethelyn Kelley have decided to retire, ending their 31 year ownership of Kelley’s Variety Store in Nashville. Partners in the operation since its inception. Max and Ethelyn Kelley say it's time to retire. But, “Don’t ask how old we are,” Max says with a grin. Sitting at his desk in his dimly lit office. Max’s eyes drift toward the shoe depart­ ment camouflaging his office at the rear of the store. “What do you do? Stay un­ til you can hardly get up in the morning?” he mumbles. When asked how it all began, it’s obvious his mind is Ethelyn and Max Kelley, right, wait on a customer during their close-out sale at Kelley's Variety Store. flooded with pictures of himself as a young man work­ ing with his father in his Vandcrcook Lake variety store near Jackson. “He’d been a grocer for 24 years,” Max recalls of his father. “He had known some people in the variety store business...heard it was pretty good...so it happened when he sold the store, I was bet­ ween jobs and I started in it with him. “It was very successful. I worked with him in it for four years...then after I got mar­ ried, we decided we wanted a store of our own.” he noted. “I didn’t want to be a small business owner like dad, tied down, but I found I liked it,” Max said. In 1955, Max and Ethleyn (or “Lyn” to those who know her), became the owners of Kelley's Variety Store after purchasing the old Beedle Bros, building. “It was run down and when we came here looking, he (Beedle) was ready to deal. So that's how we ended up in Nashville,’’ Max said chuckling. “I guess there was one new Kelley's continued page 2 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, November 18, 1986 — Page 2 Husbands question police continued from front page----- Cathy Felder, suggested the villages of Nashville and Ver­ montville consider combining their police forces but Hughes said the idea would have to be explored. k Meade also suggested increased millage to ipay for added police protection.

But, “Any time we raise millage, we get screamed and yelled at,” Hughes said. “We’re not going to make any decisions tonight.” In other business, the coun‘ cil agreed to purchase a new Xerox copy machine for the .village office, at a cost of $1,795, trading in the old one for a $150 trade in. The council also agreed to issue a parade permit for a Dec. 6 Christmas Parade through downtown Nashville. The parade is to begin at 10 a.m. In addition, village treasurer Lois Elliston was directed by the council to reinvest a sewer bond cer­ tificate of deposit at the best interest rate. It is currently in­ vested at Eaton Federal Sav­ ings and Loan. Kelley's Variety Store continued from front page store front in town.

Max remembers com­ peting with Hastings for business. "If we didn’t have something, they’d say ‘well. I’ll go to Hastings and get it’,” said Max. “I’ll bet Hastings wishes it was in that situation now. It’s got to com­ pete with Grand Rapids and Lansing.” He added that now, half of his business is “off the highway.” In the beginning, clothing was not a part of the store merchandise. Sewing notions, candy, housewares, sheets, pillow cases, towels and other domestic items and school supplies were the primary products. “In a variety store, it’s a mix. That’s its strength,” said Max. But which items will sell best and when depends on the people and the time of the year, the couple discovered. After clothing was phased pictures of Monday’s perpetrator have been circulated. Koetje said tellers “seem to believe it’s the same guy” as last time. Although no officers were on duty during either robbery, Koetje said he arrived on the scene of Monday’s robbery shortly after the alarm had been tripped, wearing civilian clothes. Koetje, Nashville patrolman Walter Pincumbe, and four officers from the Barry Coun­ ty Sheriff’s Department assisted in a door to door search of the area, Koetje said.

Max said above all, he will miss the friendly chit-chat with his customers. “It’s been fun building the business, seeing it grow, there’s such a variety,” said Max, probably not noticing his pun. “I always got a big bang out of getting in the Christmas toys and spring merchandise...there’s always something different.” After the store is vacated in December, Jack and Judy’s Country Kettle Cafe will ex­ pand it’s dining facilities into the building.

Later in 1974. the Kelleys decided to expand their business to the building next door to accomodate the demand. - “We doubled the size, put on a new store front and added light fixtures," said Max. Now. after years of growth and countless hours of effort to keep the shop running smoothly, it's time to close the longest chapter in their lives and begin a new one. “People have told me I should have hobbies so I’ll have something to do when I retire,” said Max. "But this store has been my only hobby.” Even so, the loyal citizen found time to serve four years on the village council in the 1960’s, as president of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce and as a member of the Nashville Lions Club. Max is also a past master of the Masonic Lodge, and a former active member of the Methodist Church. Max and Ethelyn, both business school graduates, plan to relax at their Middle from the Ionia post brought his dog “Max” into town to try and pick up a scent, but the dog was unsuccessful in doing so. After the last robbery, the suspect headed north on foot up Main Street and is believed to have left the area with an accomplice in a pickup truck. An investigation by the Barry County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI failed to turn up any leads in the first robbery, but Koetje said that this time, he’s looking for greater success in the investigation. The man appears to be try­ ing to get caught, Koetje said, and because of that, “there’s got to be a break coming down the line. “I can’t believe someone would come into a bank for the second time and not cover his face,” Koetje said. However, the man is believ­ ed to have purchased the orange camouflage hat and sunglasses that he wore during the second heist at a local con­ venience store. Bank employees locked the doors after the robberty took place and handled business through the drive-in window. While the robbery shook them, Koetje said, the employees “seem to be doing pretty well. They’re handling it very competently.” Bank employees refused to comment on the robbery and would not allow many details of it to be released. Bank tellers complained after the first hold-up that no police were on duty. As a result, a part-tirpe officer has been hired for the village force and is currently being trained, Koetje said. A second part-time officer is also being sought. Koetje said an FBI representative was to begin an investigation of the latest rob­ bery last Wednesday. The suspect may be con­ nected to recent bank heists in southern Michigan, DeMott said.

School Board to pick up the tab for fall sports program by Shelly Sulser “ "rtaktai,, “swt (tab. ft f* tojiijaitaM priiitge nd k kj F ptaulfoiiTtefaN 11 k s America depfti 01! faq irt to pm ml ik no- tapmikdulfflii (ta? ill A uadi m Im tad In what they say is a one time move, the Maple Valley Board of Education has agreed to pick up the tab for fall sports, instead of billing the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters (MVAB). The MVAB members were concerned that a $14,000 bill from the board for fall sports would put them in greater debt making it nearly impossible to fund winter sports at Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School. The boosters have supported Maple Valley athletics entirely since 1980 when the board cut the program from its budget. Since that time, the board has paid the initial costs, requiring reimburse­ ment from the boosters. Boosters trustee Tom Joostberns blamed the high cost of purchasing a number of equipment items that were required by new MHSAA regulations and increased coaches salaries as the cause for the ailing sports budget this year. “It's more costly..,we’ve found ourselves in the same situation the board has been in," Joostberns said at the regular board meeting last Monday. Coaches salaries alone cost the boosters $30,667 per year. The boosters had sent a let­ ter to Athletic Director Ed Sampson, Superintendent Carroll Wolff and the Maple Valley News claiming that, due to their financial situation, wiriter sports would be discontinued unless assistance was received from the board. As a result, a meeting with some boosters officials and Wolff was held Nov. 8 to explore possible solutions to prevent sports from disappearing from the Maple Valley program. From that meeting, it was decided to ask the board not to bill the boosters for fall sports expenditures. “If the board would not bill us for fall sports, we could continue with the program,” Joostberns said. Wolff backed up the request by announcing the board could pick up the tab and still reach a six percent general fund budget surplus at the conclusion ofthe fiscal year in June. “Without athletics, I would hate to see what would hap­ pen,” Joostberns said. He said it would affect the entire community, not just athletes in grades seven through 12. “Sports is the entertainment in our community for many, many citizens,” Joostberns added. “We don't have much else for entertainment.” But board trustee Bea Pino felt board action tp expend funds for sports would put the board's credibility at stake. Instead, “I think we can risk asking for one more mill in June,” Pino said. Pino indicated such things as teaching equipment and more up-to-date textbooks should rank higher with board priorities. Trustee Dale Ossenheimer agreed that a voter advisory question in the spring might be a solution to the boosters financial troubles. However, the board did agree unanimously to refrain from billing the boosters the $14,000 for fall sports, and directed the superintendent to meet regularly with the boosters to keep abreast of their financial needs.

Castleton is designated on the United States survey as township No. 3, in range 7 west,and is bounded on the north by Woodland, south by Maple Grove, east by Ver­ montville in Eaton County, and on the west by Hastings. “The Grand River Valley railroad enters Castleton on the west line of section 30, running east, making a bend to the south and leaving the township at section 36. Besides a depot of con­ siderable consequence at Nashville, it has a station formerly known as Sheridan but now as Morgan. “Thomapple Lake lies on the western boundary, while a small body of water known as Mud Lake is found on section 16. Thomapple River flows from the southeast comer of the township, northwest into Thomapple Lake and Mud Creek enters on the north line of section 2 and meanders to the southwest and pours its waters also into Thomapple Lake. High Bank Creek, which enters the township near the southwest comer and runs north into Thomapple Lake, affords an excellent waterpower for mill purposes. “Elm, oak, maple, beech, ash are the woods that are most MRS. LORENZO MUDGE. Lorenzo Mudge, pioneer settler of Castleton Township, is seen in this 1880 artist's sketch with his second wife, the former Ruth K. Hyde of Hastings, whom he married in 1844. His first wife, Emetine (Seeley) Mudge, died six years after they and their two sons became the first white settlers in Castleton Township. Their home in section 32 was an exceed­ ingly primitive log cabin. One window, brought with them from the East, admitted all the light. An ox-team, a cow, and a small store of provisions were the family's only resources, and for some time Mudge was obliged to clothe his sons in buckskin bought from the Indians, as cloth was a luxury beyond his means. Mrs. Mudge did not see a white woman for eight months after arriving in Castleton. On May 5, 1938, the Mudges became parents of a daughter daughter, Cordelia, the first white child born in the township. Lorenzo lived to see the wilderness transformed into one of the most fertile and productive regions in the county. found, although tamarack is to be found in swampy places. Pine does not flourish and the presence of a single tree is a matter of com­ ment. The surface of the township varies greatly, there are many declivities, some quite abrupt, but the larger portion is moderately rolling. Level stretches of land are to be seen in some sections and is easily tilled. This soil is a gravelly loam, with a clay sub-soil,and in some localities a large portion of sand is mix­ ed with clay, while the usual quantity of muck prevails in the lowlands, which were formerly too wet to till until reclaimed by an excellent drainage system. “In 1873 the census gives 1,638 acres planted to wheat, which produced 25,686 bushels, and 1,032 acres planted to com, which yielded 28,479 bushels, and of other grians, 21,277 bushels were harvested, and there was 1,145 tons of hay. “In the year of 1835, when the land of the township was offered for sale by the govern­ ment, the purchase was made by 161 individuals. In 1848 In Castleton, besides a depot of "considerable consequence at Nashville, the Grand River (later Michigan Central) railroad had a station at Morgan, formerly known as Sheridan. But that was not until some 30 years after the arrival of the first white settlers in the township. Instead, there was an abundance of Indians who came each year to erect wigwams in the sugar groves and dwell along the banks of streams. Neighboring townships were dotted with settlers cabins, but " none was to be seen in Castleton" until the Mudges' arrival in 1837. This circa-1900 springtime scene shows the railroad tracks leading westward out of Nashville, with the overflowed Thornapple River at right. there were 61 individuals on the resident assessment roll. Until the forepart of 1837 Castleton Township was en­ tirely uninhabited by white men. There were Indians in abundance, who came each year and erected their wigwams in the sugar groves or dwelt along the banks ofthe streams. There were deer to be seen and the streams were well supplied with fish. The neighboring townships were dotted with settlers’ cabins, but none was to be seen in Castleton. “In 1836 Ebenezer Seely owned 640 acres of land which was later divided bet­ ween Lorenzo Mudge, Ke­ nyon Mead and Ansel Seeley. Lorenzo Mudge moved to Michigan from New York with his wife and two children and a hired man. They arrived at the home of Eli Lapham in Maple Grove on Monday night, September 18, 1837, and took up their abode in a small shanty just vacated by Mr. Lapham. The next day they commenced to chop a road through to the land own­ ed by Mr. Mudge, which kept them busy for four days. On Saturday, September 23, the family and household goods were moved to the place that was to be their future home. “Imagine their surprise when reaching the place to find it occupied by three wigwams. From one of these Mr. Mudge removed the sap throughs and other ac­ cessories of the sugar bush and used it as a temporary residence. When the Indians returned from a hunting trip they were very indignant, but soon became very friendly when assured of fair treat­ ment. Mr. Mudge erected a one-story log cabin to which he later added another story when other settlers arrived, who could assist in the raising. “Mrs. Mudge did not see a white woman for eight mon­ ths, but was visited by plenty of Indian squaws. The earliest birth in the township was Cor­ delia Mudge, bom May 5, 1838. At their home was held the first religious service, with Elder Bush officiating. “In 1837 James Clap bought land but did not locate and later it was sold to William Wilkinson. It is now owned (in 1924) by Victor Fumiss. The third man in order of settlement was Demick Bennett, who came in the winter of 1838. Mr. 1842, his son in 1840, and Wilkinson welcomed him to his home, where he and his cleared 10 acres the first year. “The first township family remained until their log cabin was built.

Notes from Maple Valley Schools By Victor Schug Last week we identified the eight variables that make a difference in student achieve­ ment. The next two weeks we will discuss four each time. 1. High principal expecta­ tions are associated with greater student achievement. The principal of the school is the person most responsible for establishing an educational climate conductive to academic growth days. Time on task (learning) - actual time student is active­ ly involved in learning; Academic learning time - ac­ tual time a student is involved in learning process successfully. 4. Classroom management where a high degree of struc- ture with teachers who are supportive are likely to have higher achievement gains. This includes classroom motivation, keeping order, control, discipline and establishing a positive classroom attitude toward learning. and development of staff and students alike. Expectation of students by the principal and staff must be clear and concise. 2. High teacher expecta­ tions are associated with high achievement. “What you ex­ pect is what you get” as the saying goes. Expecting the best possible achievement is important with a follow up of positive reinforcement. 3. Time on task - the more time on instruction the greater achievement gain. A com­ bination of allocated time­ attendance rates, length of classroom periods and school Thank You CARD OF THANKS The family of Evert Lehman wish to thank family, friends, neighbors for the beautiful flow­ ers, cards, and gifts at his pass­ ing, October 31.

Nevertheless, occasional­ ly you find yourself with a free evening at home and no program on TV that appeals to you. So with some time to read, perhaps you would en­ joy a little history, some biographical sketches, descriptions of natural wonders of the world, tales of people who saw the error of their ways, or just some good how-to lessons in self improve­ ment. You’ll find all of these things and a lot more in one book that you should have on hand — the Bible. Take it down from the shelf and read it, a little at a time, whenever you can. The time you spend learning about the Bible could be the most rewarding of your life, because it will help you un­ derstand the true meaning of it. There can be no genuine education without a knowledge of the Bible. — Woodrow Wilson “You do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God." — Matthew 22:29 HOURS: Monday thru Thursday 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.; Sunday 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. gif g 10*8" MB UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 219 Washington St,, North State, Nashville Nashville A.M.

Athletics: Athletic Boosters representatives (V. Reid, L. Filter and T. Joostberns), C. Wolff and E. Samp­ son met Saturday, November 8, regarding the financial status of the athletic boosters. Mr. Joostberns and Mr. Wolff addressed the board. Mr. Joostberns stated they needed the school boards assistance in fall sports for the 1986-87 school year mainly due to increased equipment cost. Mr. Wolff informed the board if they did not bill the athletic boosters for fall sports, the hooters could support all other sports for the remainder of the school year. He also noted Maple Valley would still end the school year with a minimum of 6% balance.

MAIN ST., NASHVILLE • 852-0713 10. 11. 12. Improves By Roger A. Betz Extension Agricultural Agent The installation of subsur­ face tile drainage is one of the best bargains available to Michigan fanners today. Due to innovations in materials and installation methods over the past several years, the cost ofcomplete tile systems has actually gone down. The use of three inch cor­ rugated plastic tubing for laterals is increasing and this can also reduce costs. For laterals spaced 50 ft. apart on a grade of 0.2 ft/100 ft., three inch tubing can remove 3/8 in­ ches of water in 24 hours (i.e. provide a 3/8 in. drainage coefficient) for lateral length up to 1500 ft. On a grade of 0.1 ft/1000 ft., three inch tubing will pro­ vide a 3/8 inch coefficient for 50 ft. spacings up to 1100 ft. long. Except where laterals are extremely long or where high drainage coefficients are re­ quired, three inch tubing will provide adquate drainage. Both surface drainage and tile drainage increase produc­ tion and can return the invest­ ment made quickly. A long term study in Ohio showed that for 13 years when com was planted, tile drainage in­ creased production by an average of 44 bu/A compared to undrained land. Good sur­ face drainage alone resulted in an increase of 10 bu/A while surface and subsurface together increased yield by 54 bu/A. Money spent for improved drainage is an investment that pays off, not just another cost of production. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. Motion made by Hawkins, supported by Tobias to accept the superintendent's recommendation to support the Athletic Boosters and not bill them for fall sports. The superintendent will also meet with the Athletic Boosters to review their finan­ cial situation on a monthly basis. An amendment to the motion was made by Pino, supported by Ossenheimer to involve the Cit­ izen's Advisory Committee regarding support for the extra curricular activities and explore the possibility of additional millage for future years. Ayes: All. Amendment carried. A vote was taken for the original motion: Ayes: All. Motion carried. Mr. Wolff will meet with each of the extra cur­ ricular groups and discuss their financial status and report to the board by the December meet­ ing. The Athletic Boosters were commended for all they have accomplished for Maple Valley athletes. Tardiness & Attendance: Mrs. Bonnie Laverty expressed her concern regarding the attendance policy as it related to tardiness. Eighth grade student, Jeff Laverty, was suspended for four tardies. Mr. Lenz, Jr-Sr High School Principal, spoke on behalf of the policy and its fairness. After further discussion, a motion was made by Meade, supported by Tobias to uphold Mr. Lenz displinary decision regarding the tardiness of Jeff Laverty and enforce past practice (suspen­ sion after the fourth tardy). Mr. Lenz and policy committee are to devise a written policy regard­ ing attendance and tardiness. An amendment to the motion was made by Ossenheimer, supported by Hawkins that the written policy be presented to the board no later than the February Regular Board Meeting. Ayes: All. Amendment carried. A vote was taken on the original motion: Ayes: All. Motion carried. Insurance: Motion made by Hawkins, supported by Ossenheimer to accept the superintendent's recom­ mendation to carry the following insurance through the Michigan Association School Boards (School Employers Group Program) for the per­ iod of January 1, 1987 through June 30, 1987: Property Insurance $6,060.00; Liability $8,770.00; Umbrella General Liability ($1,000,000) $3,967.00 Total $18,797.00.

MAIN ST., VERMONTVILLE PHONE - 726-1121 Emergency Number — 726-1069 Vehicle sales bill will raise penalty — SPECIAL OF THE WEEK — for odometer tampering 16” Chain Saw Bar Guards Comprehensive legislation that would increase the penal­ ty for odometer tampering and would require automobile sales and service facilities be in the same place is currently being considered by the Michigan Legislature. House Bill 4812 would go a long way in protecting con­ sumers. The Michigan Secretary of State estimates that consumers lose as much as $100 million annually when they purchase automobiles whose odometers have been illegally adjusted to register far fewer miles. Consumers suffer from odometer tampering when purchase prices are grossly in excess of what the car should be sold for and when sudden, major repairs are needed. The Bureau of Automotive Regulation in the Secretary of State’s office estimates that odometers in 40 percent ofthe used vehicles sold in Michigan have altered mileage readings. This bill would require stricter documentation of odometer readings on used cars. If the bill is approved, odometer tampering would become a felony with a possi­ ble fine of up to $1,500. Now the penalty is a maximum of a $100 fine or 90 days in jail. The legislation would pro­ hibit separate sales and ser­ vice facilities, with minor ex­ ceptions, for new car dealers. It is designed to protect cur­ rently existing automobile dealers. Present law is not equipped to deal with the rapidly changing retail car market. Comprehensive amendements to the vehicle laws are necessary to assure fair competition and protec­ tion of the consumer. One additional provision in the bill would establish a con­ sumer protection fund that wduld award up to $25,000 per claim for each person who shows that a dealer has corm mitted fraud in the sale of a vehicle. The claims would be paid from a state-run fund supported through a fee on dealers. Business Services Richard R. Cobb, Owner • Mich.

Tuesday, November 18, 1986 — Page 12 Parent questions school attendance, discipline policies by Shelly Sulser The Maple Valley Board of Education agreed last Monday to uphold a decision by junior­ senior high school Principal Larry Lenz concerning disciplinary action toward a student and to enforce past practice regarding tardiness. After parent Bonnie Laverty questioned the junior-senior high school tardiness and at­ tendance policy last Monday, the board also agreed have the Grand Rapids woman will speak at Nov. 20 Women’s AgfowMarion Haight of Grand Rapids will speak at the Thursday, November 20 meeting of Women’s Aglow Fellowship at The Note of Praise, 12223 Chief Noonday Rd., near Gun Lake. Marion, who has served as an Aglow president, was rais­ ed in the Christian Science Church, married an alcoholic before he met Jesus, and has taught at conventions and workshops. Her teaching of the Word gives women practical ap­ plications in everyday living. Invite a friend to come with you and take a morning off to get new ways to begin suc­ cessful living, said members. The program will start at 9:30 a.tn., however coffee and donuts will be served at 9. Babysitting will be available for preschoolers. ot policy put into written form. Laverty said she felt disciplinary action taken toward tardy students is unreasonable. School policy provides for students to be detained for each “tardy” until they ac­ cumulate four “tardies”. At that time, they are suspended from school for one full day, receiving failing grades in each class that day. “But students can be absent from school 12 times per semester, 24 times a year, and nothing will be done at all,” she said. “This policy en­ courages students not to go to school at all...I think that’s the reason for poor attendance.” She cited one incident where her eight grade son Jeff was riding to school with his brother when their vehicle ran out of gas. The boys obtained a ride from someone else, she said. “He made an honest effort to get there on time, he got a ride from somebody but he still got there one minute late,” she said. “And the teacher kicked him out of class. I wonder if we’re really interested in his education or the education of the other students as well.” Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School Principal Larry Lenz argued that attendance at Maple Valley is not a pro­ blem, standing above the state average with 95-96 percent of students in school each day. x>c=z=x xac..

Lenz said he feels the policy has been a successful one, evidenced by the high percen­ tage of students attending school. Lenz said the school atten­ dance policy is a form ofpro­ gressive discipline that works. “On the fourth (tardy) he is suspended from school and at that point, we’ve got a change in behavior. It’s been suc­ cessful,” Lenz said. “I’ve been here 10 years and we’ve had no problems with it whatso-ever.” Lenz went on to tell Laverty the school feels there is no ex­ cuse for tardiness. “We do provide bus transportation in this system, the buses are there on time, they get to school on time. There is no reason to be tar­ dy,” he said. Lenz said he feels the school's present policy on tar­ diness teaches the students responsibility. “So, my son could be late, and I could write a note ex­ plaining why, and he would still be late,” said Laverty. “But ifhe did not go at all, it would not count against him.” Lenz said when a student misses 12 days in a semester, he is in jeopardy of losing credit in his classes during that semester. Although policy concerning disciplinary action taken after the fourth tardy is written in the student handbook, Laverty questioned why action taken on the fifth, sixth, seventh, etc. tardies are not written.

If left unchecked, stress can make a person distracted, withdrawn and depressed, and lead to a host of other behaviors that interfere with a person’s ability to work, socialize or deal with his/her problems. One signal of severe stress is change in a person’s usual routine, such as missing regularly attended meetings for several weeks, Soderman says. Highly stressed people often exhibit extreme behavior shifts, becoming withdrawn or unusually outgoing. A drastic change is physical appearance—either in neatness or style—is also quite common. In extreme cases, stress can lead to suicide. People considering suicide often show particular behavior patterns that indicate they are at risk. Potential suicide victims often lose concern for their family, buy a burial plot or life insurance, stop talking about the future, lack any out-: ward sign of emotion or show a drastic weight change. Most importantly, people con­ templating suicide usually talk about it, Soderman says. People experiencing severe stress need professional help but may be either unaware they have a problem or un­ willing to do anything about it. Offering emotional support, listening to their problems and expressing concern can be enough to prompt some peo­ ple under severe stress to get help. Most people who reach this state, however, require more of a planned and caring confrontation to convince them to seek assistance,' Soderman says. Discussing specific unusual behaviors caused by the per­ son’s stress and anticipating ways to head off any. excuses for those behaviors often help people realize they do have a problem. Be sure always to show concern and support, and ask what the other person is thinking, Soderman urges. Before encouraging someone to seek professional assistance, find out about the options to help in the area. Professional help is available in mostcommunities in the form of individual counseling, counseling hotlines and peer listening groups. Even after discussing your concerns, a person may refuse to acknowledge he/she has a stress problem. Soderman says to be gently persistant in getting the person to find some help. “Though it may take a great deal of time and effort to get someone to seek help, it is worth the energy,” Soderman says. Winter Time" By Craig Hoffman Winter is a time ofjoy, and a time for cheer. It’s so cold out, but there’s warmth in the air.

Following are some special tips to follow to prepare and enjoy venison. Freezing Freezing is the easiest way to preserve venison. To prepare venison for freezing, trim away connective tissue and fat, the source of strong “gamey” flavor. Protect the meat by wrapping it in moisture vapor-resistant packaging materials, such as heavy aluminum foil, laminated freezer paper, thick plastic freezer bags, plastic film or combinations of the above, excluding air and preventing moisture losses wherever possible. Package in quantities your family will eat in one meal. Label each package with the date frozen, the specifics (e.g., venison) and cut of meat. Freeze quickly to 0 degrees F or below. For best results, packages should be sharp frozen (-20 degrees F) in a commercial freezer. In a home freezer, freeze no more than 2 pounds per pubic foot of total storage space at one time. Overloading slows down the rate of freezing, and foods that freeze too slowly will lose quality or spoil. For quickest freezing, in a home freezer, place packages against freezing plates or coils and leave a space between packages so air can circulate freely. One inch of air space on each surface is adequate. Once the packages of venison are frozen, they may be stacked. Keep the freezer temperature at 0 degrees F or below. For best eating quality, use frozen ground venison within 2 to 3 months. Frozen venison steaks or roasts should be used within 8 to 12. months. Canning Venison may be canned ac­ cording to USDA directions for canning beef, veal, pork, lamb or mutton.

Nashville, Vol. 115 - No. 19 — Tuesday, November 25. 1986 New manufacturing firm opens in Nashville by Shelly Sulser Economic development in Nashville is getting a boost with the entrance of a new manufacturing firm called S & J Enterprises, Inc. Owned by Steve Corson and John Buren of Lansing, the business will occupy the former Ammonds Plastic Pro­ ducts building on Reed Street where aluminmum sliders for a new marker board will be assembled. The actual inventor of the sliders, Buren said his job presently is to develop the product prototype for his parent company, Magna Visual of St. Louis, Mo. who will handle product marketing and marker board assembly. Actual production of the slider product, said Buren, is scheduled to begin in mid January using about 40 local workers. Buren said his firm chose to begin its first enterprise in Nashville partly due to the need for jobs in the area, in addition to his finding a suitable building there for production. “John and I are both com­ munity and family oriented people,” said Corson. “We were looking for a place in Lansing when a guy told us he knew of a place in Nashville that was vacant. The building had everything we needed so that’s how we ended up here.” Buren added another factor in the choice of the Nashville site was the financial direction he was receiving from the Barry County Joint Economic Development Commission through EDC Specialist Dawn Horton. “She was helping us with a block grant program,” Buren said. Buren said his product will revolutionize classroom, hospital and business presen­ tations by minimizing space needed for visual explanation. His aluminum slider system will compact five different chalk, marker, cork, and cloth boards by replacing hanging rollers with built in plastic rollers. “You can slide out whichever one (board) you want,” Corson said. The product came into be­ ing when Oldsmobile plant number five in Lansing ex­ pressed a need for some type of magnetized marker board to aid in the development of. a new motor vehicle engine, said Buren. “Their presentation room was too small for the (available hanging) system. There was no place to buy a sliding system,” he said. “So we built 10 for Oldsmobile.” Buren said he was advised to pursue the product and he went on to refine it. “We took it from there and Steve and I formed a corpora­ tion,” said Buren. The two went on to introduce the refin­ ed product to the Magna Visual Company who agreed to be the S & J Enterprises, Inc. marketing firm. Magna Visual, said Buren, serves 4,000 display board dealerships. “Our main market will be schools, hospitals, business places — any place that has a need for presentations. In classes, board meetings...these will replace the old chalk boards,” he noted. Both Buren and Corson have experience in the manufacturing business. With the individual experience they’ve had, both men feel they “compliment each other in different respects.” Buren is a past automobile (**73 <**7» (**7t <**73 <**71 <**31 <**73 <**73 IwVJi ***73 <**3 (**73 «*>7l <**73 Santa is coming I I to town! | i | SATURDAY, DEC. 6 | I • Santa Parade at 10 a.m. Will include 1 Maple Valley Band and Floats.

Presently, a small crew is working to refurbish the bathrooms and office space.

Hastings City Bank buys Comerica Hastings City Bank and Comerica Inc. announced Monday that they have reach­ ed agreement in principle for Hastings City Bank to pur­ chase the Nashville and Bellevue offices of Comerica Bank of Battle Creek. “We have been looking at ways to directly serve the Nashville and Bellevue com­ munities for years,” Robert E. Picking, Hastings City Bank president and chief ex­ ecutive officer, said. “These opportunities are natural ex­ tensions of our market area.” Ronald J. Bieke, chairman of Comerica Bank, Battle Creek, said that the decision to sell the offices “is a result of the Hastings City Bank’s interest and is also part of our strategy to focus our business activities. We are pleased to have found a purchaser who will continue to offer these communities quality financial services and act in the best in­ terest of the employees at both offices.” As of June 30, 1986, the Nashville branch and the Bellevue branch had deposits of $7.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively. Picking said that the agree- ment between the two banks was reached last Thursday, but will not be finalized until sometime in the first quarter of 1987, pending approval by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Financial Institutions Bureau. “We had been looking at these branches for some time and I talked with Commerica a year ago,” Picking said. He said that customers in the two communities will benefit because Hastings City Bank is a community bank and its type of service is more aligned with the needs of the small community. The bank will benefit, he continued, by gaining a larger deposit base and a larger customer base. “It will be an opportunity to provide more services,” he said. Picking said that Hastings City Bank has agreed to retain the people who are employed at the branches. The two branches were part ofthe Security National Bank, headquartered in Battle Creek, which was bought out by Comerica several years BANK, continued page 2 Five injured in Friday collision south of Nashville by Shelly Sulser Three members of a Nashville family and an Allegan man were airlifted to Borgess Medical Center Fri­ day after sustaining serious in­ jury in a collision at the corner of M-79 and M-66. Barry County Sheriff’s Deputies report Terry Lee Burgess, 38, of 6787 East Dowling Rd., Nashville, was traveling north on Clark Road (M-66) when a westbound Lawrence Rd (M-79) car driven by Robert Sterling Kirnberger, 51, of Allegan reportedly failed to yield for a stop sign at the Clark Rd. in­ tersection. Kirnberger’s car collided with the Burgess pickup truck, injuring the driver and three passengers. A fire in Kirnberger’s vehi­ cle was extinguished by the Nashville Fire Department. He was transported to Pen­ nock Hospital in Hastings by the Nashville Ambulance, and was later transported to Borgess in Kalamazoo where he was listed in serious condi­ tion with multiple injuries. Burgess and his son, Joseph, 13, were transported to Hayes-Green-Beach hospital where Joseph was. treated and released. Terry Burgess was later airlifted to Borgess where he is listed in good condition. Burgess’s wife, Gloria, 40, and daughter, Marie, 12, were taken to Pennock Hospital and later transferred to Borgess. Gloria is listed is good condition, while Marie is in serious condition. Rescuers from at least four police and fire departments responded to the accident, which occurred at about 7:30 p.m. No citations have been issued as of Monday, deputies report. �he Maple py Valley News.

MAIN, VERMONTVILLE Bank, Senior Jeff Hudson is the creator of Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School’s first school crest, having won a school-wide contest with his entry. The contest was held by the senior high student council, which gave a $50 cash prize for first place. Hudson also received a $25 gift certificate from the Josten class ring, company for winning the crest contest. '‘I’m pretty excited about it,” Hudson said. “From now on, people are going see this school crest and they’re going to say, ‘who is Jeff Hudson?’.” Principal Larry Lenz said 13 crests were entered in the contest, judged by the student council. The top three were then posted in a school showcase for the student body to vote on. “There was at least one en­ try from every grade, in­ cluding the junior high,” he said. Lenz added “The winn­ ing entry was a student which we knew before has tremen­ dous ability as far as art.” Lenz said the new crest, which features a Lion, a quill and scroll (representing academics) and wings (representing athletics), will most likely first be used for the senior class graduation announcements. Other uses for the crest this year and years ahead will in­ clude class rings, yearbooks, stationery, student hand­ books, etc. Coming in second with her entry was senior Kelly Reid, while freshman Brian Davis took third. conf, from page 1 ago.

Mrs. Franck’s account ofthe early days ofCastleton Township is rich in history of the ancestors ofmany oftoday’s readers ofthis column. Last week’s installment covered the period ofdevelopment up to the mid-1840s.) ****** “Hastings was most conve­ nient to go to mill and Battle Creek for trading. Early religious services were held from time to time among the settlers anil in the This elevator on Nashville's South Main Street Stayed an important role in Castleton Township istory. For more than a century, farmers hauled their crops to this facility completed by Ainsworth & Brooks in July 1879 to replace an earlier structure. The new elevator was rated as one of the finest in this part of Michigan. Later, H. A. Brooks took Richard Townsend into the business, and in 1901 the latter bought out the former. In 1920, Townsend sold out to the newlyformed Nashville Co-op Elevator Ass'n. This photo is circa-1900. "The family of Feighners have since an early day been prominent in Castleton," observed Mrs. Franck in her history of the township. Many descendants of the clan still live in the community today. George Feighner arrived in 1847; John and Henry in the mid-1850s. The latter was the first white settler within what is now the corporate limits of Nashville. This schoolhouses as they were built. “William Clifford came in 1845, and settled north of town near the old Springett home. James Walker came in 1845. Mr. Walker cleared his land without even the aid ofan ox team, which he did not get until several years later. The farm he cleared is the one formerly owned by Frank Price, one-half mile west of the Feighner schoolhouse, and now owned (in 1924) by Mr. Carpenter. Mr. Walker was a grandfather to Martha and Mary Walker. Thomas Blasdell came in 1846. “The family of Feighners have since an early day been prominent in Castelton. George Feighners Came in 1847 and cleared 10 acres the first year. He settled across the road and a little north of the Hibbard Offley farm. Alexander Price located in 1847 on the old Marble farm, and owned the entire mile north. When he came he found his land enclosed and inhabited by Indians, who were not willing to vacate. “Among the later settlers was George Bacheller, who located in 1850 and remained until his death in 1874. Henry Witte of New York came to Castleton in 1853. C.G. Downing came the same year Barryville could " scarcely be called a village," noted Mrs. Elmer Franck in her history of Castleton Township, however the settlement four miles west of Nashville did have some early commerce, including this grist mill built in 1860 by Lathrop and Corsett and successfully conducted by them for 17 years. This photo shows the old mill as it appeared in 1904. and George Gregg in 1854, and John Feighner, who was the father of Frank Feighner, in 1855. George Morgan came the same year. Still others who came as early as 1843 and 1844 were Alonzo Barnum, Herman Dodge, Horace Downs, Edward Hindmarsh and C.H. Palmer. “George D. Scarvell located on section 26, and this property was later acquired by Jacob Franck, who owned and cleared the farms now owned by Franz Maurer and Fred Brumm. Philip Franck and his wife built part of the house now used by the Brumm fami­ ly in 1869, and lived there two years and then bought the place that is now my home and it was splid body of woods and they cleared it and built the buildings and saw plenty of hardships. I heard Mother Franck tell how they did not see much money and one time did not have enough to mail a letter for six weeks. I wonder how some ofus would like to live in those circumstances? “East of our present driveway it was a solid body of woods of Vermontville and only one house and that’s where Henry Gearhart now lives. “William Wilkinson had the honor of christening the township of Castleton. At the first township meeing in 1842 the supervisor was Ansel Seeley and the clerk was Cyrus Buxton. The earliest 1900 photo shows the 5th annual reunion of the Feighner family at Thornapple Lake. One well-known descendant of the family is the late Len W. Feighner, longtime Nashville News publisher, seen 2nd from left in 6th row from front. Some two dozen other relatives in the picture have been identified since it first appeared in this column in 1984. road was surveyed in 1841 or ‘42. In 1842 an effort was made toward a public school. A schoolhouse of logs was built on section 32, and the teacher was Miss Ellen Gilbert. A small school has previously been taught by Miss Olive Rasey, but this was purely a private school. “Barryville can scarcely be called a village. Solomon Allen Was the first to utilize water power (there). He built a sawmill on High Bank Creek. M.J. Lathrop and Mr. Corsett built a grist mill in 1860, and it was successfully conducted by them until 1877. E.J. Cook opened a blacksmith shop in 1865. He can also be said to be the leading founder of Morgan, which was formerly known as Sheridan. In 1866 he built a sawmill and Z.B. Wilson was the first merchant. Dr. C.O. Scott was the doctor. “The land on which the village of Nashville stands was purchased from the government in 1836 and 1837, for speculation. From that time until 1855 no im­ provements were made. A little later a sawmill was built and a few rude cabins to ac­ commodate the men employed and these remained until about 1864. “In 1865 the village was platted by Robert B. Gregg and in 1866 the Grand River Valley railroad was projected, and a surey made. In January 1869 the first train passed over the road and then Nashville began to flourish. There were seven different additions made to the village at various times. “Henry Feighner, Jacob Purkey, Alanson Phillips and Samuel R. Clendenin, and also O.A. Phillips were early settlers in the village. In 1864 or 1865, saw many changes in the village. Leonard Stauffer was the first merchant. Dr. J.H. Palmer guarded the health of the village for two years without a rival. “In 1869 the government bestowed a charter on the village and it was named in honor of Mr. Nash, chief engineer of the railroad com­ pany. The first child born in the corporation was Hattie Gregg in 1865. A clergyman came from Vermontville to Mary M.B.V. Mallett and Miss Alesta Price, this being the earliest marriage in the village. “On July 4, 1867, occurred the first national celebration and 3,000 people assembled to hear an orator. Mother Franck said she attended the celebration. In 1874 the pro pro-­ sperity suffered a serious set­ back in the form of a fire which destroyed property on Main Street valued at $20,000. “In 1866 a notice was cir­ culated for the purpose of erecting a schoolhouse, and it met with prompt response and the building was completed before dark on the day appointed. It was not a beautiful structure, but it served its pur­ pose and finally was superceded by a more spacious building. The first school numbered 13 children and was taught by Miss Aggie Smith, who later became Mrs. C.M. Putnam. “One could not see the new schoolhouse any distance as the trees were too thick. The building also served as a church and Sunday school room. “The first physician was Dr. J.H. Palmer, who practic­ ed alone two years, then came Dr. Wickham and then Dr. Barber, who was the first homeopathic in the village, then followed Drs. Young, Griswold and Jones. Lewis Durkee was the first lawyer. “The Methodist Episcopal people held their meetings in the grist mill until other ac­ commodations were provided and Rev. H.J. Richards was the pastor. The earliest Baptist meetings were held at the schoolhouse. The Christian Church was under Rev. S. Dailey. The Advent Church was organized by Philip Holler October 9, 1878. “In 1878 the Red Ribbon Club was stated with 100 members. This was a temperance order, and in March 1877, the W.C.T.U. was started with a membership of 20. The first Masonic order in the village was established in 1869. “The Grand Rapids Chemical Company located here and burned eight cords of wood per day; the products being 400 bushels of charcoal and 1,200 lbs. of acitate of lime and 30 gallons of wood alcohol per day. The elevator and feed mill was established somewhere near 1874.” (Note: the building on South Main was constructed in 1879). “The flour and feed mill now operated by Lass & Son was started in 1867.” “(Actually the grist mill that Mrs. Franck refers to was built in 1881 to replace an earlier facility located on the west side of the river that at that time was operated by Elder Philip Holler, Adventist minister.) “There was also a sawmill owned by Philip Holler, but leased to Mr. Tuckerman. “A.W. Olds had a sawmill and in 1874 Mr. Cook started a wagon and carriage manufacturing plant. Alfred Buxton came to Nashville in 1866 and sometime later started a gun shop. He had a wonderful equipment. The Lentz Table Company was started in 1867, and has grown steadily in importance until now they manufacture beautiful furniture. Kellogg & Demaray also made furniture. “The first election of of­ ficers for the village was as follow: President Lemuel Smith; Secretary - Leonard Stauffer; Assessor - Hiram Coe; Treasurer Robert Gregg.” Miscellaneous THE NASHVILLE GARDEN CLUB will meet Dec. 2 for noon potluck Christmas dinner at Flossie Richards.

Seniors at Maple Valley High School who have an in­ terest in government are working toward a chance to study federal government ac­ tivities first hand. “Project Close-up” offers the students the opportunity to spend a week in Washington D.C. in a concentrated pro­ gram of lectures and seminars at the U.S. Capital, State Department and Pentagon. School Counselor Ward Rooks, the program coor­ dinator, said if the schedule permits, students may be able to participate in a special press conference with the president. “That could be really in­ tersting if something like what’s happening now is go­ ing on then,” Rooks said, referring to the Iranian arms shipment co controversy. Rk said Rooks id the h 12 students on the list to attend the trip happen to be the best academic students. He added that because the trip, to take place in May, costs each stu­ dent $728, they are already working to raise funds with various projects. Currently, they they are are selling selling candy candy bars, bars, and plan to hold other fundraisers in the near future. The trip is offered by the United States Congress, Rooks said, through the Na­ tional Close-up Foundation in tionalClose-upF Washington D.C. Rooks said that donations toward the students' expenses can be sent to him at Maple Valley High School.

Bees are best for predicting weather A Sunfield man who earns his living making honey thinks we’re in for a colder than nor­ mal winter because his queen bees stopped laying eggs earlier than usual. And, “They’ve made lots of honey in the brood nest in­ stead in the hive above,” said Oren Best. Although Best admits his method of predicting the weather may not be accurate, he has gained a lot of media attention. “A reporter called me up one day and asked me ‘if I were to predict the winter weather, what would it be’?,” Best recalled. “I’m not sure how accurate it is but some bees lay sooner or later. I’m not sure what that has to tell. ” Best remembers his bees behaving in a similar fashion in 1976 “and that was a pretty cold blast of winter.” Since the article appeared in the Lansing State Journal, Best has been asked by various newspapers and radio stations to explain his predic­ tion method. Best has nearly 1,000 bee hives in Eaton, Ionia and Barry Counties and spends 10-12 hours per day just working with the bees. Oren Best of Sunfield said after the observing the behavior of his bees that we may be in for a long, cold winter. Dog warden gives special tips on Christmas animal giving. . .

Reinforcement and Feed­ back When teachers use positive feedback/reinforcement, students’ gains in achievement are greater. Once a teacher identifies those learning behaviors desired ef­ fective use of reinforcement theory will lead the student toward higher achievement levels. 6. Tutoring lates positively to academic achievement. The concept of tutoring is especially useful and effective with lowachieving students and lends itselfwell to individualizing in the classroom. 7. Recitation - is one form of evaluation that evaluates what has actually been taught, gives an immediate feedback to the students and aid in plan­ ning for future instruction. It makes students accountable for their work. The interrela­ tionship where a teacher asks questions, calls on pupils for responses and providing feed­ back to the students promotes higher achievement. 8. Parental Involvement has a direct relationship to in­ creased achievement in a childs education. This can in­ clude parent aspirations, ex­ pectations, parent school con­ tacts and supplemental athome instruction. Totally this is a joint and coordinated positive effort between home and school. This is the core of pro-active parenting that I discussed earlier this fall. In the months ahead we will draw attention to activities in the Maple Valley Schools as they relate to these eight elements of the effective schools. Again have a safe and en­ joyable Thanksgiving holiday. GOOD HUNTING - JUST OFF US-27 NEAR STATE COM­ PLEX, northeast of Charlotte. 2V4 A-|- all surveyed. Contract terms. Price reduced. Now $10,000!

WOLFF The following is the school calendar for the remainder of the 1986-87 school year. It should be pointed out that this school year it will be necessary to make up any days school is closed because of snow days or days when school is closed because of mechanical breakdowns. The State Aid Act allows a school district two days which do not have to be made up. The Maple Valley School calendar lendar allows for four days when such snow days could be made up if necessary. In the event that said days cannot be made up during the regular school year, the school year will be extended in June to meet the state requirement that K-12 students be in session a minimum of 180 days.

MICHIGAN MORTAGES AVAILABLE The in­ novative Michigan Mortgage is now available from banks in all 83 counties. The state mortgage program provides for a federal income tax credit which will give home buyers more income to make monthly house payments. The credit effectively reduces the interest rate paid and allows the buyer to pay less per month or to qualify for a larger mortgage. Call your bank or savings and loan for details. ICE AND SNOW ON THE WAY - With a cold and wet winter on the way, the state has budgeted $39 million to keep the highways free of ice and snow. It costs the state $830,000 to clear the 9,500 miles of state highways during a normal weekday winter storm. That total increases to $1 million for a weekend day. ADOPTION WEEK - The week of November 24th has been declared Adoption Week in Michigan. Thousands of young people are in foster care and waiting for the limited number of adoptions that are placed in the state every year. Many of those waiting for placement are special needs children. Those with physical, mental or emotional handicaps are the most difficult to place. This Thursday, Nov. 27, is Thanksgiving Day.

The primary objective of the 1986 survey will be to up­ date tree numbers and acreage in Michigan’s orchards, vineyards and, for the first time since 1975, blueberry fields. Detailed information at the county level will be ob­ tained by variety and age for apples, sweet and tart cher­ ries, peaches, blueberries, grapes, pears, plums, apricots and nectarines. The last survey of this nature was con­ ducted in 1982. The survey questionnaire and a printout of the 1982 grower’s report for those who participated will be mailed to all growers in early November. Growers not responding by mail will be contacted by telephone. Field enumerators will per­ sonally visit about 300 large growers as well as those growers who had not respond­ ed earlier. It is hoped that growers will respond by mail since this is the cheapest method of data collection and < lead to greater profitability. However, often times it is quite difficult to get a handle on these costs. In an effort to help crop producers learn more about calculating their production costs and make decisions based on these costs, the Cooperative Exten­ sion Service is sponsoring a twO-day workshop on December 11 and 18, 1986. In this series, farmers will develop an understanding of how to determine their costs and how to control these costs. Location of the workshop will be the Comer Landing Restaurant in Ionia. Cost will be $20, which Will cover the cost of lunch and educational supplies. All interested persons should pre-register with the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service, 126 N. Bostwick Street, Charlotte, MI 48813-1497 before Nov. 26, 1986. Phone 945-9554 for ACTION-ADS! will keep survey costs to a minimum. Data collection will be finished by the end of January. “We want this survey to be as complete as possible, so we can provide accurate informa­ tion to the industry,” said Don Fedewa, MASS Statisti­ cian in Charge. “I would urge growers to count their trees. We will also be doing something new in this survey. A computer printout ofthe in­ formation provided by the. grower will be returned along with a copy of the survey report next summer.” The data on current varieties, tree numbers and age will provide the fruit in­ dustry with information to im­ prove production, transporta­ tion, processing and promo­ tion of fruit in all areas of the State. Survey results should be available for distribution to growers in the summer of 1987.

The burger-sized bundles are a good choice when time is limited and you want to prepare a hearty meal without going to the store. The ingre­ dients are probably in your kitchen.

Brush them with egg for an eye-appealing shine and bake. Quick Cornish Pasties is a traditional meat pie that will especially appeal to those who like simple combinations of ground beef and vegetables. You can even use leftover meat, potato or carrots in the pasties. Serve them with tangy horseradish sauce for a final touch. The sandwich meal will be complete with a green salad and fruit. Another quick meal or snack idea—Cornish Crescent Bundles is an updated version of pasties. This time the dough bakes golden brown around a filling of corned beef, cabbage, cream cheese and pickles.

A huge effort to locate the elderly woman was formed by the Lansing Police Depart­ ment helicopter and tracking dogs, the Eaton County Sheriffs Department tracking dog, deputies, the Vermont­ ville Township Police Depart­ ment and several local citizens. Randall had been missing for nearly 5'/a hours before near Vermontville woman found after over six hour search by Shelly Sulser An elderly Vermontville woman was found by a local man Saturday after a 6‘A hour air and ground search failed to locate her. Loren Lehman of Vermont­ ville found Helen Randall, 81, of 9260 Lawrence Hwy. crawling in a wooded area about 200 feet from where she disappeared. Randall’s husband and neighbors after nearly an hour of searching the area. Also us­ ed in the search was a tracking dog from the sheriffs depart­ ment, assisted by two Lansing Police Department tracking dogs. A Lansing Police Department helicopter was also used; of Lehman, 11499 Sheriff Nashville Hwy., finally located Randall at about 8:18 Department (ECSD) deputies say Randall had been wat­ ching her husband, Myron, 81, and another man cut wood on property at 2887 Mason Rd. when she wandered into the woods and became lost at about 2 p.m. The Eaton County Sheriffs Department was called by transported by the Vermont­ ville Ambulance to Hayes Green Beach Hospital in Charlotte where she was listed in fair condition Sunday. Ran­ dall was apparently very chill­ ed and suffered cuts and bruises.

PARADt, continued page 2 Lehman became aware of the situation, he said. “I had just got home from shopping and the neighbors called and said she was lost in the woods,” recalled Lehman. “So I grabbed my two-way radio and my light and just took off.” Lehman said he was familiar with the area because he had frequently hunted coon and deer in the woods there. “I knew where they had been cutting the wood so I circled back toward where she walked away,” Lehman said. “I had a hunch she couldn’t get out ofthe woods. I thought ‘gosh, this is so thick, she never would have got out through the edge.’ She cert tainly couldn’t get out over the fence.” Lehman said searchers who had already combed the woods several times somehow missed finding Randall, and had extended their search to other areas. “I was the only one in the woods. I was convinced she wasnJt out of the woods,” he said, adding, “I prayed the whole time I was looking for her;” Lehman, a Maple Valley Board of Education member, Fisher Body Employee and Nashville Baptist Church member said he just “praised the Lord” when his light finally reflected off Randalls’s glasses only about 200 feet from where she disappeared. “She’d been crawling. Her knees were cut up and bloody. She was really cold,” said Lehman. “I radioed right out and they called the helicopter.” The police helicopter im­ mediately returned to the area and shined its searchlight onto Lehman and Randall. Lehman said he removed his parka and moved Mrs. Randall onto it, covering her feet with the hood. ‘‘She had lost her shoes...the first thing she said was ‘Isn’t it cold?’, and the second thing she said was, ‘where are my shoes?’,” said Lehman. “I'm just thankful it wasn't colder than it was.” Vermontville Township Police Chief Jim Fawcett drove to the site where Ran­ dall was found with his fourwheel drive truck where Lehman lifted her into it. “She wasn’t excited or upset. She was real calm and didn’t seem to be concerned that she was lost,” Lehman said. “She even scooted over in the truck and said, ‘Now, have you got room?’. Randall was later transported to Hayes Green Beach Hospital in Charlotte where she was admitted with minor cuts and bruises. Lehman said he had never met the woman prior to the incident. “Some call it luck but I just praise the Lord. Call it luck if you want to but I feel that’s the way it was supposed to be.” getting ready for council election Feb. 16 3402 resignation of Dusty Furlong) will expire in April.

Organizer Bonnie Eisner said the watch program began to take shape at a meeting in the fall of 1985. Nearly 75 area residents attended the session to learn from the Barry County Sheriff’s Department what to do to be aware of suspicious people. “We need to know who’s in our neighborhood,” Eisner explained, “(and) to be real observant, (know) what cars are driving around, who is walking...” The watch covers Charlton Park Road, Sager Road, Barryville Road, Bivens Road and Morgan Road, Eisner said. She added regular meetings held at the Barryville Church serve to acquaint the residents with each other, and to hear reports from appointed road captains and Eisner. “We just generally try to get to know each other better,” Eisner said. In an effort to discourage criminal actions in their neighborhood, signs announc­ ing the watch program have recently been posted along roadsides and window stickers are visible in the residents’ vehicles. Eisner said in order to post the signs, the Barry County Road Commission had to adopt a new policy leaving in­ stallation and maintenance up to the residents. Eisner said the residents collected money to purchase a film for the children, called “Strong Kids, Safe Kids,” to help make them aware of how to react when strangers are spotted. When an incident does oc­ cur or suspicious activity is suspected, road captains are trained to react by contacting the Barry County Sheriffs Department. Eisner is then notified, who later informs the rest of the neighborhood so residents can continue to be alert. Eisner said she believes her neighborhood’s watch pro­ gram is the only one of it’s kind in Barry County, and she encourages other neighborhoods to follow suit. Anyone wishing to start a program can contact the Barry County Sheriffs Department at 948-4800. A new neighborhood watch program has been started in Barry County. Signs in the area notify poten­ tial criminals they are being observed. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday.

Intermingled with the "Wanteds” were a good share of “For Sales” and other such notices as are tradi­ tionally placed in such a space by individuals as well as businesses. Near the turn of the century advertisements that appeared in the “Want Column” of The News were charged for at the rate of one cent per word for each insertion. In addition, in those days short plugs by various local merchants were interspersed among news items in the “Personals” col­ umn which normally ran on Page One. By the 1920s these brief commercial ads were grouped on the front page under the heading “Personals” column which normally ran on Page One. By the 1920s these brief commercial ads were grouped on the front page under the heading “Business News.” The fee for these choice spots is now unknown, but even The News itself took advan­ tage of the space. Mixed in among local news items on the front page of the January 17, 1907, issue is a classic exam- pie: “The want column brings results. Ifyou don’t believe it, try it.” Incidentally, the Want Column in that particular issue appeared on Page Five. Reviewing those early “unclassified” ads now gives us a kaleidoscopic view of Nashville history, with a good perspective ofhow times have changed. Today we start a two-part series that looks back at some of the more in­ teresting entries. For reasons of space we have grouped the ads by year instead of labeling each with a specific date of publication. 1874 - We want a boy, about 16 years of age, to learn the printing trade.

Without exception they would all like to attend next year’s convention. The group of officers was guided on the trip by Mr. Swinson, Maple Valley’s FFA advisor. The first stop on the way to Kansas City, was an educational tour of Moor­ man Feed Company’s research farm, in Quincy, Il­ linois. The Moorman com­ pany was an excellent host and they also took the group to their company cafeteria for a huge smorgasboard lunch. The second stop was at the gateway arch in St. Louis, Missouri. The officers en­ joyed the trip to the top of the arch so well as touring the “old west” museum at the base of the arch. The convention is always held in Kansas City, Mo. at the same time as the American Royal Livestock Expo. The officers attended the Expo as well as the national conven­ tion activities. There were many speakers to enjoy, learn from and be motivated by.

Nashville Boy Scout Troop 176 has been very active for the past month. The Scout’s activities began with the Land-O-Lakes District Fall Camporee Oc­ tober 10-12. The weekend was filled with activity, in­ cluding a nature hike, a volleyball tournament and a scavenger hunt. The Scouts were also given the opportuni- ty to make sling shots. One new happening was the star challenge where scouts having attained Star Rank or above camped separately and participated in more challeng­ ing activities.

As a school district, in the area of reading Maple Valley did very well and compares very favorably with similar school districts. The math results were not as good and leaves room for im­ provement. We are evaluating the results and considering possible adjustments and changes. In the area of science, statewide student scores were not good and we at Maple Valley need to improve the core science program in the next few years. I want to stress that these test scores are unique to each class of students and generalizations of “good schools” vs “not good schools” is not the way they should be used. They do aid us in education to deter­ mine what we can work at to improve in. MAPLE VALLEY SCHOOL REPORT SUPERINTENDENT CARROLL J.

The part-time sportsmen and women who turn to the woods for two weeks in November usually trust the professional meat cutters to do the butchering once the deer is hauled out of the woods and the photographs are taken. Employees at Gravelie’s Meat Market have processed nearly 120 deer during the past few weeks. 4-H Jr. Livestock Association to meet Eaton County 4-H and FFA beef, sheep and swine project members, leaders and ad­ visors are invited to attend the Jr. Livestock Association meeting on Monday, Dec. 8, at 7:30 p.m. at Kardel Hall on the fairgrounds in Charlotte. Meeting topics include the selection of beef and swine judges for the fair and the discussion of several fair related items and livestock ac­ tivities. For more information contact the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Ser­ vice at 543-2310 or 372-5594. owner Ken Custer, who says that fall and winter are his busiest times of the year. Although this is the first year hunters could obtain two archery licenses and two firearm licenses, Custer said the number of deer processed this year is about the same as in past years. Custer, who owned the Thornapple Lake Road market in Morgan from 1972-1979, recently re­ purchased the store in September. For $25, a successful deer hunter can have his prize fully processed, Custer said. In a day, he and his four meat cut­ ters can turn three to four deer per hour into venison summer sausages, chops, roasts and hamburger. “A lot (ofpeople) just want steaks and hamburger though,” Custer said. When the deer are brought in to the meat market from the Eaton, Ionia and Barry county hunters, Custer must first remove the antlers and hide. The fur, he said, is sold by the market to fur buyers. Once the deer season is past, Custer will return to his normal trade of custom but­ chering beef, lamb and pork. Cobb Ken Custer, Gravelies owner, pulls down another deer from the meat refrigerator.

Pease Rd., Vermontville By Scot A. Scramlin Deer season in Michigan always seems to raise quite a cry from both its proponents and opponents. Much of this is simply noise, but knowledge is the best answer to the detractors of the sport. Many feel that if they step outside their house during deer season, some maniac ofa hunter will shoot them. Let’s look at the first two days of the season, two people were shot and killed while hunting. One was hit by a stray bullet and the other died after being shot by removing a loaded gun from the car (an illegal and hen you demand the finest, demand Meadow Oak & Meadow Cathedral by Merillat. . . it’s easy on your pocket book.

On the other hands,' four people were murdered in Grand Rapids over the weekend and ten were killed in car accidents. While the statistics for Grand Rapids are not typical for the city, it shows that there are more dangerous pastimes than deer hunting. Another major complaint is people don’t like the thought of something being killed. However, if they are meat­ eaters they simply are paying someone else to do the killing for them. If they are vegetarians-, then they may have ah argument. Some people picture hunters as kill-crazy idiots with shotguns. Quite to the contrary, most hunters have a deep respect for nature and the animals they hunt. Man may have a technological ad­ vantage but he can’t run as fast or have as keen a sense of smell or hearing as the deer. One final note: 1987 will mark the fiftieth anniversary ofthe Pittman-Robertson Act. This piece of legislation is what adds on the price ofhun­ ting and fishing licenses, guns, and ammunition. For the past fifty years, that money has gone straight to the various departments of our government responsible for wildlife protection. Back then, there were an estimated 500,000 White-tail deer in the entire United States. Today, there are more than 14 million and over a million ofthem live in Michigan.

It made it so much nicer,” Mace commented. Mace noted the parade’s VMAALPLLEE Y organizer, Don Williams, has alreadly expressed a desire to hold a similar event next year.

A Vermontville Township Board sub-committee is plan­ ning to meet before the next regular meeting to discuss solutions to the high costs of running a police department, supervisor Ed Sampson said. Due to the more than $50,000 it costs for the township and the village to fund the police department an­ nually and the discontinuation of federal revenue sharing funds, the combined township-village police ser­ vice is in jeopardy. ■ “Financially, we can not support a police department by ourselves,” Vermontville Village President Sue Villanueva said last month. “If the township can not con­ tinue to help, I don’t feel we would be able to support the department alone.” Currently, the village budgets $54,810 for the police department, and bills the township for $10,000 of that amount. Sampson said he and Villanueva had met to discuss the problem, and further con­ sidered the situation at the Nov. 25 township board meeting when Villanueva was present. Sampson said the board then agreed to refer the matter to the township sub­ committee which ■ includes township police board representative Bob Siple. Villanueva had requested the township “kick in more funds if the department is to Police continued page 3 Wolff asks School Board for sick leave until Jan. 16 Maple Valley School Superintendent Carroll J.

LITCHFIELD �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, December 9, 1986 — Page 3 Former teachers start unique scholarship fund By Junia Jarvie and Dorothy Carpenter Future generations of Maple Valley will be eligible for scholarships from a fund now being established by us as former Maple Valley teachers whose goal is to encourage and help deserving students achieve their potentials for successful lives through addi­ tional training or study. Funds to establish and operate this Maple Valley Memorial Scholarship Fund are being actively solicitated now to ensure a large enough amount of interest money to start scholarship grants this year. Since this MVM Scholarship will be made only from interest on the principal, this needs to grow quickly for maximum benefits. Several special features make this scholarship unique. First, our local school board has accepted this as a project to oversee. Final charter and regulations are nearing com­ pletion with advise from ex­ perts in this field. Second, contributors have several op­ tions: gifts may be given in any amount; gifts may be given in memory of anyone; gifts may also be given in honor or recognition of anyone you select. We feel this may be a rewarding way to express sympathy or ap­ preciation for those we care about and at the same time to make this a living expression of concern for education. You may also give anonymously, of course. In no case are you required to place a name in honor or memory — this is on­ ly an option with your gift. Third, this may also be a way for families and groups as well as for individuals to become “founders” 'with a gift of $100 or more to share in the rewards of helping originate this scholarship fund. To become “patrons” and or “benefactors” your gifts or cumulative gifts must reach $500 and $1,000 respectively. One of these generous amounts given now will also make you a “founder”. Larger gifts or bequests will be suitably classified also. Both of us are meeting with as many groups and individuals as possible quickly to spread information and share your concerns about how this program is establish­ ed and how it will be carried out. Please call us about any questions or for additional in­ formation: Junia Jarvie 852-0830 or Dorothy Carpenter 726-0205. Perhaps you will see this as an opportunity to enrich lives, in addition to your support of the fine local charities and scholarships which already exist. If you are interested in contributing, please make checks payable to: Maple Valley Memorial Scholarship Fund. Donations may be sent to this fund at 11090 Nashville Highway, Vermontville, MI 49096, or given directly to Junia or Dorothy. We are thrilled to announce that contributors have built the fund to a current total of $5,003.44. Founders whose gifts are all in memory of Larry Neil Musser are: Carolyn Musser, Lawrence and Barbara Musser and Family, Leonard and Irma Jopie, Charles and Louise Viele and Family and Ken and Elaine Foote and Family. Other founders and their honorees are: Elmer and Junia Jarvie - in memory of Wayne Skedgell, Olith Hamilton and Carl Thurn; Elbert and Dorothy Carpenter, John and Linda L.

At the Vermontville Village Council meeting Thursday, trustee Joe Ann Nehmer sug­ gested placing a millage re­ quest before the public on a March township election ballot. Villanueva said the council supports requesting millage from the citizens for the police department. “We would like the people to say whether they want this or don’t want it,” she said. Villanueva said village clerk Sharon Stewart had contacted the Eaton County Clerk and learned there is still time to submit ballot issues for the election. However, Samspon said Monday he was not aware the township had an election ap­ proaching in March, but did support the idea of making the matter a ballot issue, to an extent. “The problem is if one mill is what they’re considering going for, it will only generate about $16,000 and that’s not much out of a $50,000 budget,” he said, “and it’s not feasible to ask the people to pass six or eight mills to run the department.” Sampson said if officials wanted to ask for a token amount to help, “then that would be acceptable.” Money to maintain the police department is spent for officer training, vehicles, equipment, ammunition and uniforms, as well as salaries for the two full time officers John Stidham and Jim Fawcett. 30 Smith - in memory of Ard Decker, anonymous friends in memory of Olith Hamilton, Vickie Fox, and Carey Wolfe; Mel Ruohonen, Allen F.

Reviewing those early “unclassifieds” now gives us a good view of how times have changed since the News debuted in 1873. In those days the ads were run in no particular order in the column. Classification was not implemented by The News until the fall of 1930. Near the turn of the century, “Want Column” entries were charged at the rate of one cent per word for each insertion. In that era, in addition to the col­ umn ads, there were short plugs by various local mer­ chants interspersed among the news items appearing in the “Personals” column that nor­ mally ran on Page One. By the 1920s these brief commercial messages were separated from the social items and grouped under the heading of “Business News,” which also ran on the front page. Today’s article looks at some of the ads that appeared in the “Want Column” in the 1920s, the decadd before topics were categorized by listing under For Sale, For Rent, Wanted, Miscellaneous, etc. For reasons of space we have grouped the ads by year instead of labeling each with a specific date of publication. 1923 - Came to my place, 11 ewes. Owner may have same by paying for advt. and damages. L.E. Paddock. Maple syrup for sale, $2 per gallon. Chester Smith. For Sale: Duroc brood sows one and two years old, due first half of April.

Rate, 70 cents per hour. E.L. Thompson. Whether or not their owners were disillusioned with the new-fangled horseless carriages" is unclear, but almost from the advent of the auto (first seen in Nashville in 1902) up through the 1920s, the "Want Column" carried ads placed by parties interested in swapping the machines for a team of heavy work horses, cattle, etc. A good team and tools sometimes were required for farm employment, as seen in a 1924 ad by an area landowner. Railway accounting and telegraphy were touted as great career opportunities in a 1925 "Want Column" ad placed by an Indiana training institute to recruit students, both men and women. Telegraphers played The new Michigan Central RR depot, built in Nashville in 1904, is seen here in this circa-19T5 photo. Some four passenger trains plus freight trains came through town daily then. an important role in the railroad systems of that day. John Taylor Following John Taylor's death in 1926 his widow, Ella, used The News "Want Column" to dispose of some equipment and goods at his shop near their home at 223 Reed Street. Taylor, a crate-maker and machinist by trade, was also a talented vocalist often called upon to perform at various services. His wife wrote social items for The Nashville News and was correspondent for the Grand Rapids Press and other area papers.

Putnam Public Library building fund growing now is a problem with your homeowners insurance. Home, sweet home. Sometimes it’s difficult to keep it that way. And the problem with homeowner’s insurance is you never know how good it is until the roof caves in. Then it can be too late. A Homeowners policy from Auto-Owners offers you replacement cost coverage on your home and personal property. Some homes qualify for optional Guaranteed Home Replacement cost coverage. And the great news is...this one encompassing policy may cost you less than the coverage you have now because Auto-Owners offers several discounts and rating advantages. There’s no place like Auto-Owners when it comes to Homeowner’s protection. Just ask your “no problem” agent!

JJ’s Party Store, owned by John and Jill Joseph, is located at 495 E. Main St. (next to Helen’s Grocery) and offers a variety of grocery, snack' and health care items, along with motor oil, deli goods and pop. “This side of town needs a store like this,” said John, the son of Carl’s Supermarket owners Don and Jeanette Joseph. “Sunfield has two party stores, Nashville has four, and now Vermontville has one,” he said, adding, “I’ve always wanted to have my own business.” When he is not working in his new Vermontville store, however, John is busy as manager at the Carl’s Super­ market Sunfield location. Jill and employee Carla Hopkins also take their turn handling store business. John and Jill opened the store Nov. 17 and held its grand opening celebration the last two weeks, offering a chance to win a free BMX bike. (The drawing will be held Dec. 20). Items John and Jill are plan­ ning to add to those already available include fresh made coffee, quick heat sandwiches with a microwave oven on hand in the store, potato salad, cole slaw, pizza and a number of beer and liquor varieties. Kids have already taken ad­ vantage of the video game there, noted Jill, who said a second game machine will be added later as well as video cassette movie rental. John also noted he plans to have gas pumps installed by spring. “We hope to handle all we possibly can,” noted John. “If people come in and don’t see something they want, they are welcome to let us know. We’re here to serve the people.” John and Jill are Nashville residents and have two children, John, Jr., 4, and Leslie, 18-months. JJ’s Party Store is open Monday-Thursday 6 a.m.- 11 p.m; Friday and Saturday 6 a.m. to 12 a.m. an.d Sunday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. New and experienced leaders prepare for Girl Scouts Over the summer, area Girl Scouts have kept active with troop and camping activities.

A different version of House Bill 5576 was passed in June. The differences between the chambers will be ironed out in a joint conference committee. The bill would bring broad­ cast reporters under the um­ brella of the state’s shield law but remove some of the shield already granted to print jour­ nalists. The legislation gives the same treatment to print and broadcast reporters, but would limit their protection.

Reporters who seek to pro­ tect confidential information about those kinds of cases would have to show that the prosecution hasn't exhausted all other avenues ofgetting the same information. Proponents of the bill believe it perserves the intent behind the state’s press shield law: to protect all reporters, not just print reporters, against having to disclose their sources and other infor­ mation. Under a revised shield law, television and radio reporters could, like their print counterparts, pur­ sue investigations without either being hindered by an in­ ability to assure confindentiality to their sources. of total support. —focus on forming local, state and national programs aimed at preventing teen-age pregnancy.

With 10 lettermen back from a decent 8-6 and third place finisher in the SMAA, Ricketts doesn’t forsee any additions to the Maple Valley championship trophy case, but then he doesn’t expect his team to be battling to stay above the .500 mark either. “We should be better,” says the veteran Lion wrestl­ ing coach, “but I don’t know how much better.” Much rests on how well the team can dodge not having a heavyweight and how well a number of the younger wrestlers mature, says Ricketts. The team has does 11 seniors plus a handful of other wrestlers who have backed up starters for a couple of seasons. Their experience will be sorely needed. “We’re not very deep,” notes Ricketts, whose team only lost two starters from a year ago. “If any of the kids are injured...” Heading the list ofreturnees are Drew Pixley at 198, Scott Carpenter at 138 and Andrew Finkler at 119. Also back are Mark Goodrich at 132, David Benit at 138, Lance Brumm at 105, Kevin Stewart at 112, Brian Sleeper at 145, Greg Flower at 167 and Sherman Reid at 155. Unless lightning strikes, Maple Valley will forfeit the heavyweight class — an obstacle which Ricketts hopes his team can overcome. “It’s gonna hurt us, but we do have a lot of experience coming back,”he says. “That should make up for a lot.” Ricketts likes defending champion Bronson and Pennfield to vie for the 1986-87 SMAA wrestling crown.

Middleville overcame a rough first half to outscore host Maple Valley 25-8 in the third period and went on to beat the Lions 63-42. The Trojans led only 22-18 at the half, but a pressing, trapping defense caused Maple Valley to turn the ball over and led to several easy Trojan field goals in the third period. Middleville led 47-26 by the end of the quarter. “It’s out of the~way,” said Middleville Coach Skip Pranger of the opener. “You know the players will be ner­ vous in the opener, but this should give us confidence.” Lion Coach Jerry Reese agreed the turning point was the third period. “I felt we did a lot of good things,” said Reese. “We need to be more patient and get the ball to the open man better. We didn’t do that.” Although Reese wouldn’t use it as excuse, Maple Valley did play shorthanded.

Nashville, Vol. 115 - No. 23 — Monday, December 22, 1986 Local citizens rally behind school superintendent Alex Villanueva, left, was the winner of the Vermontville Holiday home lighting contest. Also shown is daughter Debbie. (Maple Valley News photo by Shelly Sulser) Villanueva home tops Chamber's holiday home lighting contest Village President Sue Villanueva said she had nothing to do with the decora­ tions that won her husband, Alex, first place in the Chamber of Commerce spon­ sored holiday home lighting contest. Located at 213 W. First St. in Vermontville, the Villanueva home is a delightful array of colorful lights strung around each pillar and along the house’s roof. Villanueva managed to arrange the lights to flash at various times on each section of pillar,’ wrapped in red holi­ day ribbon. In the front yard is a lighted manger scene and a depiction of jolly St. Nick guiding his reindeer toward the rooftop. For his effort, Villanueva received a prize of $15 for winning first place. Awarded $10 for second place was Mike Orman of 243 E. Main St. and the Don Mar­ tin residence of 187 E. Main Loan delay slows progress at new firm by Shelly Sulser A new Nashville manufac­ turing firm has been forced to delay production of a marker board tracking system while it waits for release of a $280,000 loan from the City Bank of New York. John Buren of S & J Enter­ prises said he cannot continue with plans to build his product without the money to buy the assembly line machinery and to pay employees. Buren explained that the money was held back by the bank after receiving additional information from the com­ pany’s guarantor. Buren said in order for the corporation to receive the money, which is also allocated for the purchase bf the firm’s building, some in­ ternal 'reorganization would have to occur. The owners have not yet had the opportunity to fill out the necessary papers, Buren said, due to a hold-up in pro­ cessing. Buren expects the changeover to go smoothly, but it is possible that the corporation would have to be disolved and a new one formed. "We haven’t got a penny yet,’’ said Buren, “Everything so far has been (paid) out of my pocket.” He said the loan was ap­ proved Oct. 3 and he expected to have the money within two days. “That’s why we ventured out, bought a building and hired people. But we kept run­ ning against a lot of blocks in this whole thing and we couldn’t figure out why...Now, we can’t move until we get the accounts squared away,” he said. Buren said his brother Stan Buren will be joining him in the partnership replacing Steve Corson, and that the name will remain “S & J Enterprises”. “But it’s on hold now. There is nothing we can do. We don’t have the money to buy the necessary equipment to put on the line,” Buren said. S & J Enterprises initialized its business last month when it announced the purchase ofthe former Ammonds Plastics Building on Reed Street in Nashville. Employees at that time kept busy upgrading the building. ■ Now, Buren said, his com­ pany will continue in limbo until it receives the wire transfer of money to its ac­ count. He said at most, his operation has been set back six weeks. took home $5 for third place. O’Dell said the three judges had a difficult time Wednes­ day evening placing the homes; “They had a heck of a time,” she said. She added 23 homes in all were judged. “Next year I think we’ll have two or three different categories because this year we didn't specify themes,” O’Dell added. “There was a lot of them and it was hard... we’re learning by experience.” by Shelly Sulser Petitions circulated in Nashville and Vermontville last week are aimed at generating support for Maple Valley School Superintendent Carroll Wolff, Nashville business owner Jerry Brumm said. “It’s to save Carroll Wolffs job,” said Brumm. Brumm said the petitions bearing names of citizens in support of the superintendent may be presented to the Board of Education at a special meeting scheduled for Dec. 29. The meeting is set to be held at 7 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. The petition drive stems from the recent request for a medical leave of absence by Wolff to be taken from Dec. 2, 1986 through Jan. 16, 1987. A note from Wolff’s doctor stating he is suffering from stress was read by board trustee Loren Lehman prior to board action to approve the leave at the board’s regular meeting Dec. 8. Brumm and Russ Furlong, owner of Maple Valley Imple­ ment in Nashville, had alleged at that meeting that the board of education had caused Wolff to suffer from stress by inflic­ ting undue pressure on him. At that time, Furlong and Brumm had speculated that a recent evaluation of Wolff by the board may have con­ tributed to Wolffs condition. Other controversy surroun­ ding the cause of Wolffs sick leave arose from that meeting after board trustee Ronald J. Tobias read a letter he wrote to the board indicating Wolff may soon be out of a job. “I want to be on record to apologize to Carroll Wolff for the results of the evaluation and to say I think he does a good job. I know that it will be hard to replace him. if not impossible”, Tobias states in his letter. Following the reading of Tobias’ letter, Furlong said that his interpretation of the letter made him wonder if Wolff was being “forced out”. “I think if that happens. somebody’s got to answer to a whole bunch of people,” Furlong said. Although there was a meeting of concerned citizens held at' the Nashville Com­ munity Center last Tuesday evening, one business owner denied that a formal commit­ tee had been formed to back Wolff. “There really isn’t any kind of organized committee,” she said. “Just people that are concerned and want to support Carroll Wolff.” However, school board President Dave Hawkins said the board had received a letter from the ‘Concerned Citizens for Responsible Board Action’ committee requesting to be placed on the agenda for the Dec. 29 special meeting to discuss implementation of current board policies and evaluation procedures. The letter was signed by Russ Furlong, chairman, Hawkins said. "There rally isn't any king of organized committee," she said "Just people that are concerned and want to support Carroll Wolff." —Concerned Citizen Furlong could not be reach­ ed for comment. The petitions urge citizens signing it to attend a meetingto be held at the Vermontville Fire Barn on Dec. 22 at 7 p.m. and to attend the special school board meeting. Hawkins said two reasons the special board meeting was called was to hold a closed session to hear an in depth report concerning support staff negotiations and to discuss further the new ‘no smoking’ policy. �The Mople Valley News, Nashville, Monday. December 22, 1986 — Page 2 Book of Michigan Centennial farmsto1 do£n0ated to township library by SbHIy SulsfftA#* A new book featiflfcig the over 4.000 Michigan Wksflrenmal Farms was donated to the Vermontville Township Library Thursday by the Ver­ montville Historical Society. "The Michigan Centennial Family Farm Heritage", a new publication selling for $35, lists every centennial farm in the state, and contains short histories and photos of many. Historical Society President Dorothy Carpenter said the book was organized by the Michigan Centennial Farm Association to remind citizens of their heritage. "They urged people to send pictures that would give flavor and (show) what farms were like," she said. She added the book can not be bought in stores, and that the Historical Society ordered the book years ago. Several local farms featured in the book, cluding those of Carpenters. two are in­ the Hoseys, Rodriguezes, Donald Shepard and others. "We thought it was ah ex­ pensive book and also that it was quite rare,” said Carpenter. “We wanted the public to have access to it and to try to provide children with local history.” She added the book is “really interesting” because it also tells of changes farms have experienced over the years and documents stories of unusual occurrences. Librarian Cherie Everett noted that all books about local history can be found in the library. Friendship group offers its help to bereaved persons Compassionate Friends, an organization offering friend­ ship and understanding to bereaved parents and friends, will meet from 7-10 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 6 at the Ingham Community Mental Health Center in Lansing. The meeting is open to all bereaved parents and friends. The center is located at 407 W. Greenlawn. Compassionate Friends was founded in England in 1969 and in the United States in 1972.

A number of people con­ tributed old photos to docu­ ment the book and Mariane Martin sketched some pictures of buildings and designed the cover. “I was very interested (in doing the book). I had lived in a historical home nearly all my life,” said Mrs. Kroger who was born on a farm west of Vermontville and moved to Vermontville proper at age 10. Her former Greek Revival style home at 130 West Main Street was built in 1837 and was the second house con­ structed in Vermontville. It was built by Walter Fairfield, one of Vermontville’s first settlers who had owned a newspaper in- Castleton, Vermont. Several generations of the same family have resided in that home since 1890: Mrs. Kroger’s grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Tubbs; her parents and then Mrs. Kroger and her late husband and their children. Mrs. Kroger’s former Ver­ montville home is one of the historic homes featured in “Vermontville’s Heritage.” Besides writing that article, Mrs. Kroger wrote quite a few ofthe other articles which appear in the book. “I spent lots of time in the library and talking with older people and families,” she modestly says. The most challenging aspect of compliling research, she said, was “trying to be sure of some of the facts. Sometimes people have different ideas too.” Being a long-time village resident helped Mrs. Kroger with the project. A 1920 graduate of Ver­ montville High School, Mrs. Kroger taught school for a total of 25 years, retiring in 1966. After she had taken the county teachers’ exam in Charlotte and attended sum­ mer school at State Normal (now Western Michigan University) in Kalamazoo, her first teaching experience began at the tender age of 19 in a country school. Being in the country, at Bowens School, was a new experience for her. “ft was the first time I ever heard the frogs croak,” she chuckled. “I had 30 kids (at all dif­ ferent grade levels). I had one ofthe older boys build the fire (to heat the school) and everybody drank out of the same dipper.” After her country school tenure, Mrs. Kroger returned to Normal School to obtain a three year limited teaching certificate and eventually earned a bachelor of science degree from WMU. She taught in Lansing for four years and then married Fred Kroger in 1931. After his death, she taught second grade for a half a day and later was a full-time fifth grade teacher in Vermontville. Mrs. Kroger has two daughters, Mary Alice Rodriguez of Vermontville and Marilyn Halas of Lans­ ing; six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

The group agreed to give the money after the fund’s organizers made a presenta­ tion to the council recently. “We thought it was a good idea to help get this fund started for kids that can’t get the money otherwise,” said Student Council President Carmen Hamilton. The Maple responsibility is to inform people about the fund and work to have it established. At present, donations have rang­ ed from $2 to $1,100. Jarvie believes that over the long run the main source of funds will come from dona­ tions made in memory of former students or teachers and friends. Currently, they are seeking people who would be interested in joining as founders. “You can only ‘found’ something once, so until the end of this fiscal year anyone who donates $100 or more will be a founder and have their name on a plaque in the school,” Carpenter said. Aly» Valley Memorial Scholarship Fund was established by retired Maple Valley teachers Junia Jarvie and Dorothy Carpenter. The money given to the fund will be used to help young people obtain higher education upon completion of high school, they said. “(We) are actively guiding the establishment of this fund and are seeking others to join (us) in founding this scholar­ ship,” said Jarvie. “We are paying all organizational costs, so any money con­ tributed goes directly to gathering interest for scholarships.” Carpenter and Jarvie said Maple Valley High School Student Council President Carmen Hamilton presents a check cec for or$ $100 to o Junia una Jarvie arve an and Dorothy oro y Carpenter, arpenter,org originators na ors o of the e Mapl ape ATTENTION PATRONS OF THE Valley Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Carpenter added two things make the scholarship unique, “these scholarships are as apt to go to a student who wants to. go to truck driving school as to the student who wants to become a lawyer, because the recipient is selected on the basis of attitude, effort and desire to succeed. ” Students need not apply because all graduates are considered for the scholarship.

Our own day is no stranger to these human concerns. The problem was that His Message was rejected in His own ear­ thly sojum. Nearly two thou­ sand' years later our modern world makes the same mistake. If I were to express a wish for Christmas, 1986, it would be that we, somehow, in sim­ ple faith, truly capture the message ofthe Angels so long ago when they sang, “Glory to God in the Highest and on earth, Peace and Goodwill to men.” Then it would be my prayer that we would put it in­ to practice 365 days of the year. It all sounds so simple How to protect young maple trees from injury Each spring the Extension Service receives many in­ quiries regarding vertical cracks in the trunks of maple trees. The injury is usually on the southwest side ofthe trunk and thus the name — Southwest Disease. Southwest Disease cracking occurs on cold winter days when the sun suddenly comes out and rapidly warms up the tree trunk, or when it sudden­ ly disappears behind the clouds and the trunk quickly cools down. The differentive in expansion and contraction of the wood, as influenced by the trunk temperature, causes the cracking. Some people have actually heard a loud bang when the crack forms. According to Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, to prevent Southwest Disease, wrap the trunk in light colored tree­ wrap or aluminum foil. The protective wraps will prevent the rapid fluctuations in trunk temperature. Krizek says it is most im­ portant to protect maples under 4 inches in trunk diameter, since they are most likely to crack. Tree wraps should be in place by the end of November. but the results in peace, hap­ piness, contentment, prosperi­ ty and goodwill would be im­ possible to calculate.

Nashville, Monday. December 22, 1986 — Page 14 Red clover seed available as a cash crop for farmers “Michigan has historically been one of the leading states in the production ofred clover seed,” says Dr, Larry Copeland, MSU Crops Specialist. “Although this acreage has decreased somewhat in the past 25 years, there is still substantial acreages of seed produced in Michigan as well as other north central states. Most of this seed comes from fields that were planted with small grain and seeded to clover which may be used in the following year for hay or a green manure crop,” Copeland adds. With the current government programs and abnormally high red clover seed prices, as well as the current profitability of other Michigan crops, there is a tendency for farmers to think about red clover seed production as a possible cash crop. Though this may be a viable venture under certain circumstances, there are several aspects that should be considered in mak­ ing the decision to produce clover seed, according to Copeland. First, red clover seed is usually a by-product of hay production. A “first cutting” is usually taken in early June for hay, and the second crop is allowed to go for seed. Thus, the grower should either be able to use the hay or have a market for it. Obviously, hay making equipment should be available, whether it is owned or used on a custom basis. Farmers and farm employees who are displaced from farming occupations can get help in making the transi­ tion to new lines of work.

Krizek County Extension Director SEAT BELTS CREDITED FOR LOWEST TRAFFIC TOLL - Michigan’s seat belt law is credited for the lowest traf­ fic death rate in history. Through December 15 the fatality rate is less than two persons killed for every 100 million miles driven. That compares with 2.1 last year, five killed in 1968 and the all-time record of 17 people killed for every 100 million miles driven in 1937. State police say the death rate could be even lower ifeveryone wore their seat belt every time they got into a car. Over 73 percent ofthose killed in traffic ac­ cidents were not wearing their seat belt. MOBILE HOME COMMISSION BILL PASSED - The House has passed and sent to the governor a bill (HB 4027) that clarifies the role of the state Mobile Home Commission. The legislation is designed to allow the commission to continue to regulate the mobile home industry and the placement ofmobile homes within parks. The commission would have no jurisdic­ tion concerning placement of mobile homes outside of parks. Local governments would have exclusive authority in this area. STUDY POINTS TO AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS AND J ,PROMOTION - A state study recommends that airports in Michigan need improvements and airlines need to improve ser[ Vice in the wake of deregulation. The report calls for stepped­ ! up promotion of air service by cities, improved airports, more ' aggressive marketing by the airlines and quality-control propro­ gram to make sure that planes fly on time. HOW MUCH IS YOUR FOOD BILL - Think your family’s grocery bill is too high? If yours is an average family of four with two grade-schoolers, you spend about $95 a week on groceries. Of that, about 19 goes to packaging. It then costs that same average family about $6.50 a month to have that trash hauled away. Historical seed yields in Michigan have ranged from 2 to 3.5 bu (60-120 lbs.) per acre. Yields are usually greatest if the first cutting is taken near the first week of June. Yields are also influenc­ ed greatly by the availability and activity of bees for pollinating flowers, leading to a good seed set. Bee activity is greatest under dry, sunny ing and job placement specifically to meet the needs of farm families and farm employees who need to find new occupations. The program offers assistance in skills assessment and job-seeking skills, such as resume writing and interview­ ing, and makes direct job referrals. It provides classroom training in such areas as data processing and accounting, and refresher courses in such skills as typing and welding. Participants can get help in renewing teaching certificates, coping with stress, and managing finances and time. On-the-job training and subsidized employment can help people earn as they learn in a wide range of occupations. Support services, such as day care and transportation, are available if participants need them to take part in train­ ing or classes. neighborhood of Farm family members active in farming and employees of farm businesses are eligible to take part in the program if the farm business meets any ofthe following critiera: it has received notice o f foreclosure, it has filed for bankruptcy, or it has a debtto-asset ratio of 40 percent or greater; or if the displaced farm family member or employee has taken interim employment in either a part­ timejob or an occupation with no growth. More information on the program is available from the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service, 543-2310 or 372-5594. $.35-$.40/lb. compared to $.40-$.45/lb. for more completely cleaned seed. In either case the grower net profit should be about the same. Thus, red clover seed can be and is produced in Michigan. Growers interested in producing seed should consider the net profit possible with the range of yields and seed prices discussed above relative to net profit possible from other Michigan crops. Other factors to be considered include alternative uses for red clover (plowdown, rota­ tion purposes, etc.) and how these fit into the overall farm plan. MSU-developed turfgrass recommended for lawns Homeowners who are going to be seeding or renovating a lawn this summer might want to consider using Wintergreen chewings fescue. This tur­ fgrass variety, developed at Michigan State University, produces a dark green sward that is drought resistant and low maintenance. Ken Payne, professor of crop and soil sciences and tur­ fgrass researcher at MSU, says Wintergreen, like other fine-leafed fescues, is not highly wear tolerant, so it isn’t the best variety for play- ing fields or back yards that double as playgrounds for ac­ tive youngsters. For littleused front or back yards, however, it is ideal. “In addition to being drought resistant, it also per­ forms well at low fertility levels,” Payne says. “Com­ pared to improved Kentucky bluegrass, it needs less water­ ing and only about one-third as much nitrogen fertilizer. So if someone is looking for a turfgrass cultivar for a low maintenance landscape that doesn’t get a lot of traffic, Wintergreen just could be it.” nTnnfflTnnnnnrnnnnmmnnnnnw Eaton County Extension imiiminniiiiiiiiiiiiii CALENDAR OF EVENTS ........ 11111111............. iiiiiiniinii............................. in Dec. 24, 25, 26 - Eaton County Extension Office will be closed.

Wintergreen is well adapted to the climate of' mid­ Michigan and points north, Payne notes. It maintains its dark green color well into the fall, after other grasses have gone off-color because of cold. It is also the most shade tolerant of cool season tur­ fgrass species. It does well in light or filtered shade. (No turfgrass species yet developed can survive in heavy shade.) Wintergreen seed is produc­ ed by a growers’ co-op in the Pacific Northwest and distributed by Michigan State Seed Company of Grand Ledge. All royalties paid to MSU as the developer of the variety are tunneled back into the turfgrass research program. Seed supplies are excellent this year, Payne adds. If local garden centers don’t have it on hand, they should have no trouble getting it. Deep conditioning... Subtle color!

Pease Rd., Vermontville JWX | �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Monday, December 22, 1986 — Page IS The reason for the season by Les Dumont of Vermontville . On December 25th we celebrate the birth of a man who has affected the lives of every human being on earth since his birth. There are millions of people who have never heard of him and millions who though they have heard his name don’t know anything about him. His name? Jesus Christ. Christmas means to celebrate Christ yet the fat lit­ tle elf in the red and white suit gets far more attention than does the man who is supposed to be the reason for the season. Santa Claus is actually more real to most people than Jesus is. you have seen me you have Most people have never believed.

He added the cost to operate the service is covered by the township and village dona- tions and by revenue from gate receipts and the sales of recyclable items such as metal, paper, glass and oil. Tobias said the board had asked Vermontville and Ver­ montville Townships to join the operation and become members of the board. He said that offer later changed after it was learned that the county solid waste commis­ sion does not allow transfer boards to cross county lines. The board then agreed to let the two Vermontville units use the site for a fee, without hav­ ing representatives on the board, but that proposition was still turned down, Tobias said. 1986 The Year That Was in the Valley By Susan Hinckley January 7 -- Vermontville announces plans for 1986 Sesquicentennial celebration. .. 1986 brings a blanket of snow to Maple Valley area and much of southwestern Michigan.. .Vermontville council settles wage dispute with village street ad­ ministrator at “heated” session...MV wrestling squad finishes second at local invita­ tional, 34 points behind firstplace Caledonia..Obituaries: Mary Coffman, 53, Nashville; Agnes Blanck, 84, Vermontville; and /ormer residents G.

Sampson said it appears the unknown subjects broke the windows by tossing stones at them, and that the cost to repair the windows will have to be paid from the township budget. Christmas bulbs were also smashed said Sampson, who is offering a $50 reward for information leading to the ar­ rest and conviction of those responsible'for damaging the State of Michigan Historic Site. He added no one is known to have seen the vandalism take place. “The first thing that went through my mind was there were enough people in this town that felt it was worth go­ ing for a mill to upgrade the Opera House. It was defeated and with our budget, we do what we can to maintain it,” said Sampson. “If we use the money to repair windows, we can’t use it for other things. The Opera House represents the whole community and whoever did it is hurting the whole community.” Pat O'Dell, President ofthe Opera House Restoration Committee that initiated the millage campaign that was defeated in November, said she felt badly about what happened. “I think they should be made to pay for it," she said. “They should work it off somehow.” O’Dell said her committee that is aimed at restoring the Opera House for use as a community center will benefit from a special Tupperware party to be held Jan. 20. Fif­ teen percent of' the money raised from the party donated toward Opera House refurbishment. The Tupperware party will be held in the Opera House, said O’Dell, by hostess Carolyn Fickes. Vandals broke more than eleven windows of the Vermontville Opera House causing up to $300 damage. The Vermontville Township Board is offering a $50 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those causing damage to a number of Opera House windows. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, December 30, 1986 — Page 2 Vermontville resident living his dream as West Point cadet wrong,” he said. Stewart, 20, is a 1985 graduate of Maple Valley High School, and was among 1,452 to be selected to attend West Point out of 10,000 who applied at that time. His graduation from Maple Valley with high honors and his excellent physical condi­ tion were two major factors in his acceptance. Stewart also had background in the military having served in the National Guard and attending basic training while in high school. Stewart’s parents, Sharon and Harold Stewart of 177 Maple St., said they were confident their son’s grades and physical fitness were ac­ ceptable but the competition between the thousands of other applicants made them by Shelly Sulser * Living a' dream is what Dean Stewart has been doing ever since he stepped foot on­ to the soil of the oldest military academy in the coun­ try when he became a West Point cadet last year. “When I was in third grade I read a book about Robert E. Lee,” explained Stewart, while spending time at home recently with his parents in Vermontville. “He (Lee) graduated from West Point. He went on to be a great leader.. .people him.” respected Stewart said he knew then that he too would go on to graduate from the famed and prestigioius Army academy. “But my parents kept tell­ ing me not to get my hopes up so I decided to prove them skeptical. “Usually when he sets his mind to something, he does it,” said his mother. “It’s great that he’s got the drive to go and prove he can do anything he sets his mind to.” Now that Stewart is in his second year at West Point, he has managed to keep the ex­ perience in its proper perspective. “When I wasn’t there, it seemed a lot more prestigious than it really is,” he noted. “One day we talked to a pro­ fessional hockey player and we thought it was really neat but to him, it was his everyday way of life. It’s like when you’re in high school and you look up to MSU (Michigan State University) but when you’re there it’s just MSU.” Stewart, the oldest of two How can a multiple car family minimize insurance costs?

I think it would be fun to teach.” He added that physical education classes are man­ datory and that emphasis at West Point is placed first on academics. “We compete with Yale, Harvard,..but they’re (West Point) harder on sports when academics drop off,” he said.

I am neither for or against the superintendent' at Maple Valley School, but I, as a con­ cerned citizen wanted to get some facts straight in my own mind of what was going on in our schools.

To ac­ commodate the hectic time schedules of the farm com­ munity, the same workshop will be held twice a day, from 2-4 p.m. and again from 7-9 p.m. The program has scheduled a variety of experts in the field of farm estate planning. Bud Search, district Extension farm management agent, will cover how to determine the net value of an estate and how to make equitable distribution of worth. David Smith, Charlotte attorney, will pro­ vide an- undestanding of how probate court works and a bet­ ter understanding of meeting and ask the people to get fired up and back you, it is surley not done on speculation or rumor. When I got home that night I thanked God we do not have people like this in the white house. I can see it all now. There sits this one person who works on speculation and rumors in the oval office with seven advisors in another of­ fice deciding if Russia is go­ ing to drop a bomb. Six vote that Russia won’t, one votes they will and gets mad, runs into the oval office and says, ‘I speculate they will.’ And there sits this person with his finger on the button.

Heating costs assistance available in county Limited assistance with heating costs is available at the Community Action Agen­ cy of South Central Michigan (CAASCM) for low-income residents of Barry County beginning a Monday, Dec. 15. State of Michigan, Targeted Fuel Assistance (administered by the Michigan Department of Labor, Bureau of Community Services) provides a one-time payment to the heating fuel vendor based on the amount by which heating costs exceed 12 percent of household in­ come. The benefit (of up to $200) is intended to reduce the economic burden of home heating on the low-income household. Available funding is un­ changed from last year, at $99,520 for the four county service area. Also unchanged from last year, household eligibility and benefit are bas­ ed on annual income com­ pared to heating cost, and pro­ of of these amounts is re­ quired for participation.Households with income below 125 percent ofthe most recent federal Office of Management and Budget (0MB) poverty guidelines, and adjusted heating costs in excess of 12 percent of in­ come, can qualify. Although the maximum benefit is automatic if income is below 75 percent of poverty guidelines, energy consump­ tion documentation is still required. To apply, a person needs proof ofhousehold income for the past 12 months, a state­ ment from the fuel vendor of usage for the 1st year (or a current gas bill, or at least 2 consecutive fuel delivery receipts), the Social Security number and date of birth for each household member, and proof of home ownership (or rent). If heat is included in rent, eligibility can be deter­ mined by comparing annualiz­ ed income to rent (with unsub­ sidized rent in excess of 60 percent of income required to qualify). The process of application, award and payment requires cooperation of the client and the fuel vendor (whether delivered or metered fuel is involved). Funds are limited and, although applications can be taken through March, it is anticipated that all the money will be committed by mid-January. Successful participation is dependent on timely and accurate comple­ tion of an application. Ques­ tions should be directed to the local office. Persons must apply at the CAA office in their county of residence. No other office can process their applica­ tion. The Barry County office is located at 220 West Court St.. Hastings. MI. 498058.
