scheduling of Congressman Fred
Coloma Schools to seek
$900,000 loan against state
aid; request delayed by
desegregation plan ruling
By Cliff Stevens
During a special meeting of the
Coloma Board of Education held
September 26. the Board approved a resolution authorizing the
school administration to seek
bids to borrow $990,000 to maintain a cash flow for the district.
Assistant Superintendent of
Schools Ronald Clark said the
funds may be needed to meet
operating costs until state aid
payments are received.
Clark noted the district needed
to borrow $1 million last year.
The loan is repaid during the
school year when state funding
makes it possible to pay off the
loan.
The district delayed the borrowing process this year to await
the outcome of a new financial
arrangement with the state of
Michigan over ending the 15-year
voluntary desegregation plan.
Both the Coloma and Eau
Claire School districts had proposed an agreement to end the
plan. U.S. Federal Judge Douglas Hillman turned down the proposed agreement in late June.
Clark said normally the district has sought to borrow funds
to meet its expenses as early as
J u n e to e n s u r e f u n d s a r e
available for the startup of the
next school year.
This year's projected operating
budget for the Coloma School
District is 113.4 million.
Had the agreement been approved by Judge Hillman. the
funding method for Coloma and
Eau H a i r e schools would have
changed, including funding for
transfer students attending both
schools under the desegregation
plan.
In August, the Coloma School
Board voted to appeal Judge
Hillman's ruling.

The best-kept secret, what
locals and " C h i c a g o " residents have known for a century,
that this area is a great place to
visit and to stay for a lifetime, is
now national news.
The Coloma-Watervliet area
and Paw Paw I^ake has been acknowledged as among the top
eight locations in the United
States to invest in a second home,
by the October issue of "Smart
Money," the Wall Street Journal
Magazine of Personal Business.
The article by I ^ u r a M. Holson
and Robert Barker, called "The
Great Escape," notes that the
fall season is a "fine time to buy
a second h o m e . " Then the
authors list the "winners," their
selection of the eight top values
in second homes, including the
Coloma-Watervliet area.
The article states: "Chicagoans intent on relaxation have
worn deep ruts around the bottom of the U formed by I ^ k e
Michigan's south shore. They're
headed for a string of communities in Michigan, notably NewBuffalo and Union Pier, that run
up the eastern lakeshore. But
buyers willing to drive a bit further will find better values in and
around Coloma. no more than
two hours from Chicago's Ix)op."
"The area is marked by rolling
hills, berry farms- and fruit
groves, notably peach orchards.
Coloma's population of 1,900
about triples on the weekends,
but crime there remains well
below the national average. One
drawback: Property taxes are
higher than in many other vacation spots.
"Besides using several parks
on Ixike Michigan, vacationers in
Coloma and neighboring Waterviiet water-ski. fish. row. swim,
paddle and float on 1,000-acre
Paw Paw Ixike. A new, 3,600square-foot home with a dock and
78 feet of lake frontage was listed
recently for $395,000. Older
homes on the lake run from
$125,000 to $500,000, says Deanna
Heminger, a Century 21 associate
broker, and the prices drop further on houses off the lake. Over
on the I ^ k e Michigan shore,
eight miles away, you can't get
much for less than $225,000."
The other seven top values for
second homes, according to the
magazine, are: Carmel, California; Colorado Springs, Colorado;
Mystic, Connecticut; Big Bear,
California; Scottsdale, Arizona;
Vero Beach, Florida; and Annapolis, Maryland.

RECOMMENDATIONS
TO TOWNSHIPS FROM
PAW PAW LAKE
JOINT ADVISORY
COMMISSION
Recommendations to Coloma
Charter Township and Waterviiet Township requesting action
to make boating safer on Paw
Paw Lake have been made to the
boards of trustees of both townships. Carl Spessard, Chairman
of the Paw Paw Lake Joint Advisory Commission, stated that
the Commission had been reviewing the "1995 Carrying
Capacity Analysis of Paw Paw
Lake" for several months. That
review led, at its September
•meeting, to the joint commission's approval of these five
resolutions for submission to the
trustees.
• Restrict new construction on
any undeveloped or currently
developed lakefront property
that is zoned Multiple Family
Residential to not more than
three (3) motorized (greater than
10 horsepower) watercraft for
each one hundred (100) feet of
lake frontage.
• Restrict new construction on
any undeveloped lakefront property that is zoned Single Family
Residential to not more than
three (3) motorized (greater than
10 horsepower) watercraft for
each platted property.
• Prohibit individuals from us-
ing public property, such as fire
lanes and road ends, to permanently moor or dock watercraft.
• Prohibit parking of vehicles
with trailers along roadsides in
the vicinity of public access sites.
• Encourage the Michigan
Department of Natural Resources to restrict parking at public
access sites to the number of
vehicles authorized for each site.
Del Sipes, President of the
330-member Paw Paw Lake
Association, stated, " T h e
association is in full support of
the resolutions presented by the
joint commission. , ,
Sipes added, 4 4 Lakefront property owners need the support of
both township governments in
maintaining the quality of life on
the lake. We don't want Paw Paw
Lake to be too crowded with
watercraft to enjoy. We want our
friends and neighbors in the community to be able to enjoy the use
of the lake, but excessive use is
unpleasant for everyone. One
sure way to create greater use is
to allow continued residential
construction, including lake access, without any control over the
docking privileges allowed."
44
Boat crowding on days of high
use has caused concern for safety
and has increased noise pollution. Contributing significantly to
the noise is the increase in
numbers of personal watercraft.
There were 194 on Paw Paw Lake
in 1994, 266 in 1995, and this year
there are 317," he explained.
44
Many of those who operate personal watercraft do so carelessly.
Those operators have become a
major safety concern to those
who use the lake."
People who have homes on the
lake, or who use Paw Paw Lake
for personal enjoyment, are encouraged to voice their support
for the safety recommendations
of the Paw Paw Lake Joint Advisory Commission at the Coloma Charter Township meeting
at the Township Hall on Paw Paw
Lake Road at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, October 9, and at the Waterviiet Township Hall on South
M-140 Monday, October 21.
THE BACK FENCE
By Anne Bayer, co-publisher
! It's finally fall, and I like it.
This time of year is really the
best for me. If we can just get
past all of this rain, we will be
able to enjoy all of bounty that
Mother Nature provides during
the fall.
Karl and I even cooked a beautiful squash the other evening. It
was so sweet and delicious. Another thing I have noticed this fall
is most of the local flowers have
reached their full maturity, and
they are beautiful. It's too bad
most of them will be dying off for
this year. They are all so bushy
and full.
Another thing that happens to
me in the fall is that I find more
time to pick up that book and
finally get caught up on my
reading.
St. Martin's Paperbacks has
again taken it upon itself to send
me four more books to read and
also to pass on to you, our
readers. I have to admit to all of
you that that company has sent
me a couple of books over the
summer. I did not care for them;
therefore, I could not pass them
on to all of you as suggested
reading ... because I could not
read and enjoy them.
: The first book I have just read
is titled 44 Dreams of You" by
author Tina Wainscott. Wainscott
is the winner of the Romance
Writers of America's Golden
Heart Award for her novel 4'On
the Way to Heaven" and its sequel "Shades of Heaven." Her
t h i r d f a n t a s y r o m a n c e is
"Dreams of You."
S u c c e s s f u l f a s h i o n photographer Adrian Wilde has a life
only few dream of... he's wanted
by top fashion designers, he
works at exotic locations, and
he's loved by a beautiful woman.
But, somehow, Adrian is always
restless and never quite happy
with his life. The only person he
feels connected to doesn't exist...
Nikki, the lovely but mysterious
lady he's dreamed about all his
life.
He has a nightmare in which he
sees Nikki in a fire. Going
through some photographs from
a shoot taken in West Palm
Beach, Adrian spots an enigmatic figure in the background.

a meeting and would like to express themselves may 'vrite to:

TEEN DRIVERS
FACE TOUGHER
TIME GETTING
LICENSED
By Bob Brackenridge
Young drivers must pass new
and tougher proficiency requirements before they get their
licenses under legislation
awaiting the governor's signature.
Michigan teens who enroll in
driver's education after April
1997 face a beefed up graduated
drivers' education and training
system. The bill establishes three
levels of novice licenses and two
driver-training segments, making it the toughest program in the
nation.
Under the milestone measure,
students seeking a d r i v e r ' s
license are subject to the following requirements:
Level One-Participants must
be at least 14 years, nine months,
and have parental approval. Applicants must have successfully
completed the first segment of
driver's education and passed a
vision and knowledge test. They
also must log 50 hours of driving
with a licensed guardian or
parent, including ten hours of
night driving.
Level Two-After completing
all level-one r e q u i r e m e n t s ,
students can obtain a provisional
license. They must have completed level two of driver's
education, passed a driver performance road test, and be free
of moving violations for 90 days
before seeking a level-two card.
In addition, they can drive only
from 5 a.m. to midnight unless
accompanied by a parent or
traveling for work.

KARL'S
KOLUMN
By Karl Bayer, editor
After enlarging the picture, he
realizes it's the woman who
haunts his dreams.
The story ensues of his search
for this mysterious lady of his
dream world and the love they
could share.
It's a good story, well written,
definitely not a waste of time. I
love a good love story but I am
turned off when the author goes
too far into the personal lives,
i.e., the sexual side of a relationship. This is a good story and it
kept my interest. At times, it
came close to giving me more information then I felt necessary;
but, all in all, it is a well-written
fantasy.
The second book I have just
finished was a collection of short
stories from four authors. The
anthology is titled 44 Flower
Girls." The authors are Janet
Dailey, Beverly Beaver, Margaret Brownley, and Ruth Jean
Dale. In this new book titled
44
Flower Girls," these four New
York Times best-selling authors
write short stories on how flower
girls in the weddings act as cupid
to bring four couples in the four
different weddings together.
Janet Dailey titles her story
"Striking a Match." I found this
to be very enjoyable, well written, and definitely worth reading.
It is a story about how flower
girls always have a special place
in church, especially when they
pit Dylan, a young reverend,
against a feisty stranger and
come up smelling like roses. This
book was very enjoyable.
44
To Love and Cherish" by
Beverly Beaver is a story of a
young divorced couple rekindling
their love through the help of
their small injured daughter.
"Something Old, Something
New" is by Margaret Brownley.
In this story, a man and woman
share a wonderful child together
and this child brings t h e m
together in love.

Hartford Schools receive
Kellogg grant funds
By Joe Cheshire
The Hartford Public School
D i s t r i c t h a s r e c e i v e d two
separate grants from the W.K.
Kellogg Foundation of Battle
Creek, Michigan.
The first grant received in the
amount of $8,000 was awarded to
the Middle School to further explore its study of the middle
school concept. The entire staff
will be trained throughout this
school year on such topics as
adolescent needs, appropriate instructional strategies, cross content area instruction and teaming
and flexible scheduling. The
primary objective of this grant
will be to assist the Middle School
staff in becoming more familiar
with national and local teaching
oiandards relative to middle
school students.
The second Kellogg grant
received in the amount of $7,260
was awarded to the migrant/bilingual staff at Red Arrow and
Woodside Elementary schools to
meet the needs of the migrant/bilingual students. Hartford has
been chosen as a pilot site to run
an after-school and evening program. The after-school component will enhance the migrant/
b i l i n g u a l day p r o g r a m by
minimizing pullout from classes
and supplementing education
through life experiences. The
specific components will include
academic study skills, life skills
development, and field trips. The
evening component will consist
of home visits to establish and
maintain rapport with parents.
The visits will also include family
education with language, basic
skills development, and parent
education. The primary objective of this grant will be to have

Coloma Twp. sewer users
By Giff Stevens
The loss of dozens of trees,
some over 75 years old. during
the past 10 years in the City of
Coloma has prompted Coloma
Mayor Robert Wooley to launch a
tree replacement program.
Wooley, who was elected
Mayor last November, working
with the City Commission, proposes to allocate between $1,500
to $2,000 a year to purchase
mature trees for planting along
City streets
The budgeted items would be
sufficient enough to purchase
between 25 to 30 trees annually.
Since the City's founding in the
1850s. trees have played an important role in the overall
character of the community.
Throughout the past several
years, dozens of trees have been
removed due to storm damage,
disease, or due to problems the
trees caused to overhead power
lines.
Under Mayor Wooley's tree
replacement program, mature
trees having a 2- or 24-inch
diameter would be purchased by
the City and planted along City
treelawns which do not have
overhead power lines.
In m i d - S e p t e m b e r , Mayor
Wooley instructed Public Works
Director Rodney Burkholder to
obtain prices for the trees in
order to set aside funds in the
budget for their eventual purchase.
Once the cost per tree is determined, the number of trees purchased per year will be established.
Tentatively, a stretch of West
Street where there are no power
lines and Morrison Street are
slated to be the first streets considered for the tree replacement

Stories of the Coloma/Watervliet Area by Dorothy Stark Cannell

f '
Webster's defines a gourmet as
a n expert on eating and drinking.
There is something very stylish
about the word.
We h u m a n beings have a lifelong passionate love affair with
food. Some people carry this to
e x t r e m e s ... they become bulimics, gluttons, or gourmets. And
sometimes I wonder if a gourmet
might just be a glutton in a tuxedo.
On the other hand, true gourm e t s have raised the necessity of
eating to a really wonderful art. I
have attended some dinners that
were not only physically satisfying, but also esthetically pleasing. In some places, such a fine
meal could be the prelude to a
seduction, or to a nice evening of
conversation, sitting carefully so
as not to fold the stomach too
tightly...
Food is a necessity. It fuels our
bodies. And isn't it nice that we
have m a d e a ritual of fueling our
bodies? Think of the family gettogethers, picnics, reunions. People gather to visit, renew old
friendships, and incidentally to
p a r t a k e of the festive board. I
can r e m e m b e r some of the meals
p r e p a r e d for potluck dinners
when I was a kid ... either in the
old Methodist Church social hall,
or else the E a s t e r n Star Hall over
Abrams store. At those feeds
there was good talk, fellowship,
and escalloped potatoes, meatloaf and Jello with real whipped
c r e a m ... and the pies! Frankly,
that food was the reason we kids
were willing lo go.
I can r e m e m b e r with what
eagerness as a child I awaited
m y m o t h e r ' s making of a succulent m e a t pie. This was a long
pan filled with vegetables, meat,
and covered with biscuits. She
prepared it in the oven and placed it, steaming, on the center of
the table. During the G r e a t
Depression I was just a little kid.
I never knew the struggles my
folks might have had. All I knew
was that three times a day there
was food on the table. I don'

but no regular pies.
Well, I suffered through it
thinking some day we would
leave that town. I m a g i n e my surprise to find when we moved
back to Hartford, she told me
they had just passed an anti-pie
ordinance here too. I tried to conceal my disappointment. And

As I drove into Riverside from
the north, planning to resume m y
" w a l k " f r o m Marian Fitz Calendar's, where I left off last week,
rain was already threatening. On
the spur of the moment I stopped
at Riverside Tool & Die Inc.,
across the road f r o m where the
old Railroad Station had been.
Parking in the lot of the tavern on
the c o m e r , I walked back to the
die company, for a quick stop
before the r a i n s c a m e , just to find
out who the owner w a s - H a r r y
Sauer-how long they had been in
business t h e r e - s i n c e 1989-and
how m a n y employees-only about
five now as business is slow. This
building was formerly occupied
by the Beverly L u m b e r Company
and when they left Harry had
moved in what equipment he
could afford and had begun his
own business.
Then it c a m e out that the Sauer
family c a m e to this country on
the Displaced Persons P r o g r a m
in 1952. H a r r y was 14 y e a r s old a t
the time, had lived through
World War II hardly knowing
which was a worse enemy, Russia or G e r m a n y , for he lived in
fear and trembling of both. Their
home was in Volinia, one of those
a r e a s in Central Europe claimed
by whatever power had a greater
a r m y at the t i m e - G e r m a n y ,
Russia, or Poland. They lost
everything during World War II
and escaped to a r e f u g e e camp,
grateful to have their lives intact.
Harry's
uncle, who had
e m i g r a t e d f r o m G e r m a n y in
1928, sponsored t h e m ; and one of
the Twin Cities churches helped
to pay their way. He finished
High School in St. Joseph, going
back to sixth grade at the beginn-
ing because he knew no English.
He spoke beautiful English now.
In c a m e another Riverside
resident, albeit a couple of miles
north of downtown, lieonard Galles, a friend and small customer
who had helped to raise seven
childen with the help of Pier
School and the Baptist Church.
One daughter, a teacher in Niles,
still resides with her dad. By now
the rain w a s pouring and we
three were stuck in conversation
together. Fortunately, neither of
the m e n seemed anxious to get
back to work, so why should 1?
I^eonard's parents had come
f r o m Poland much earlier and
both men had a deep conviction
that the United States was a land
of opportunity that people should
appreciate. Both felt they were
the "little g u y s " but this did not
affect their loyalty. Harry had
graduated f r o m Benton Harbor
High with a good training in
m a c h i n e shop. L e o n a r d had
received his training in Chicago
but had spent his working years
in a nearby foundry, proud of his
ability to cut a gear in one day
when the previous employee had
taken three. He still enjoys woodworking.
Having spent World War II in
the Air F o r c e raiding the enemy
f r o m North Africa, lieonard and
H a r r y , the best of friends, now
realized that they had been officially e n e m i e s in the w a r
(although H a r r y had been too
young to fight). And Leonard
m a d e the point that he never felt
a real hostility toward the Ger-
m a n servicemen. He realized
they didn't want to be in a war
any more than he. They, too.
were drafted and required to go
The rain had changed my
plans, as 1 had hoped to stop at
the really important industry of
Riverside, the Monte's Basket
Factory. 1 had heard about Tony
and Rose Monte, whose beautiful
home is in the h e a r t of the
"business district" right next to
Riverside E l e c t r i c and some
Whirl|)<K)l storage buildings. I did
speak to Sam Monte, the son, who
1 believe now runs the business;
but he was on his way to a 5:00
o'clock meeting and I, too, was
running late. 1 had no t i m e to get
back to speak personally with
this interesting family, so that
will have to wait for another
year.
I did stop at one other current
business, the Foundry Furnaces
( l i n d b e r g h MPH, a G e n e r a l Signal Company which h a s been in
Riverside since 1972, 24 years).
T h e y b e l o n g to t h e N o r t h
American Die Casting Association and work with non-ferrous
m e t a l s for foundries and a r e well
known in the metal casting industry. Mr. Bob Janney, who has
been with the company for 12
years, took time to talk to m e on
his way out and said they have 50
employees.
I didn't realize how important
little Riverside, starting simply
as a railroad stop between Coloma and Benton Harbor, had
become. A whole new section of
businesses is going in beside the
Handy Spot. They will soon have
a place here to buy fireplaces,
casual furniture, spas, and even
to get a suntan without going to
the beach.
Next week we'll return to Mrs.
C a l e n d a r ' s and walk back a
ways in history.

Through D.A.R.E., Waterviiet kids
learn they're "2 cool 2 use drugs"
NORTH 5
"The program counters what they hear from
other kids," Officer Scott Richcreek
By Joe Cheshire
" T h e n u m b e r - o n e goal of
D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) is to help kids
realize they don't need drugs
and/or alcohol to be successful;
this is awareness education,"
says Chris Peal, Principal of
WatervUet's North E l e m e n t a r y
School.
After undergoing intense training in drug education, Waterviiet Police Officer Scott Richcreek is putting his training to
use in the Waterviiet school
system.
In cooperation with the Berrien
County Sheriff's Department, the
third-graders at North Elementary in Waterviiet a r e learning
it's "2 cool 2 use drugs."
. Along with the Berrien County
Health Department, the fourthand sixth-graders a r e learning
what drugs can do, while the fifth
g r a d e is receiving direct education f r o m Officer Richcreek.
" E v e r y day of every year they
should hear drugs and alcohol
a r e n ' t good for t h e m , " says Richcreek. "The program counters
what they hear from other kids."
Mr. Peal says, of Officer Richc r e e k s D.A.R.E. program,
" H e ' s a fantastic resource, not
only available as a representative from the police but he's
there to help the kids The bottom
line is Scott can pull from his
background and resources and
m a k e a difference."
Peal says having Officer
Richcreek in the school " m a k e s
school a safer place for teachers
and kids alike. It m a k e s e v e n one think, knowing a police officer is a r o u n d . "
E a g e r to talk a b o u t t h e
D.A.R.E. p r o g r a m . Officer Richcreek said the p r o g r a m got
started last y e a r ; he attended the
D A R E . School a f t e r he and
Peal presented the possibility to
school officials and City leaders.
"It was the most intensive
training I've every been involved
i n , " said R i c h c r e e k . " T h e y
c r a n u n e d 17 weeks of training into two weeks "
The D.A.R.E. program will run
for a 17-week penod at North
Elementary and is now in its
third week At the end of the 17
weeks the kids, as m e m b e r s of
the D . A . R . E . p r o g r a m , will
receive rewards such as stickers,
etc., to signify they a r e g r a d u a t e s
of the program.
As the p r o g r a m progresses,
Richcreek said role models will
be brought in to talk to the kids;
and the kids will be taught ways
to say no to different types of
peer pressure. "They will learn
how to handle the situations."
The D . A . R . E . p r o g r a m is
geared for the younger kids and
involves a lot of group activities,
"We do things with the kids, not
just sit down and bore t h e m . "

Now in the beginning of its second year, the "Cops Fast Prog r a m " is making headway in the
local schools. Using federal grant
monies, with contributions from
the schools and local governments, Coloma and Waterviiet
have been able to place a uniformed officer in the schools;
and for which the local principals
express their pleasure with the
program.
Chisek said having Richcreek
on hand is a deterrent to the normal problems that arise when
dealing with school-age kids.
"Scott is there to handle any
situation that might arise, such
as fights, drugs, or weapons. We
won't have to wait for the police
to arrive in those situations."

The uniformed police officers
in Coloma and Waterviiet schools
h a v e had a positive effect on the
kids, reports Principal Greg Chisek of Waterviiet High School.
"Scott (Richcreek) has had a
very positive effect with the
kids," says Chisek. "He is another ear for them to talk to, a
counselor for support, and is
waging a never-ending war on
drugs."
Chisek s a y s Richcreek "helps
the school improve" by showing
the kids that police aren't all
paper and regulations but a " r e a l
person and a caring person."
Bannen says the dollars it costs
the school is " m o n e y well s p e n t . "
The p r o g r am h a s an escalating
contribution s c a l e , with the
amount increasing in each of its
three y e a r s . "Overall, it costs the
school about an average of $4,000
annually," said Bannen.
"The purpose of the Cops F a s t
P r o g r a m is to let the kids know
that police officers are humans,
too, and not here just to a r r e s t
people, but to h e l p , " says Officer
Richcreek.
Richcreek's counterpart in the
Coloma schools is Jeff Yonker
who s a y s the p r o g r a m "is breaking down some of the b a r r i e r s
between the school kids and the
police. Most of the time, contact
between the kids and the police
have been negative; and they
have a mind-set that we a r e here
to a r r e s t them and take them off
to j a i l . "
Yonker added, "This gives us
an opportunity to talk to the kids
and let them know we a r e just
like t h e m . "
Richcreek says being "one of
t h e m " has already started paying dividends. " T here is a handful of kids that have been through
the system several times, and we
have spent several hours together."
Richcreek says he joins the
kids who have been sentenced to
community services for certain
violations of the law. " I go out
with t h e m a s a friend and let
them know that I do really care
about t h e m . "
Both Yonker and Richcreek
• agree peer pressure is the biggest problem facing the schoola g e kids. "They think they need
to be on that side of the fence to
fit in," said Richcreek.
"Age m a k e s a difference,"
said Yonker. " B y junior and
senior high, they've got a mindset and t h a t ' s the biggest barrier
we have to overcome."
WatervUet's North Elementary Principal Chris P e a l said,
however, "Come two or three
years down the road, the kids in
contact with Jeff and Scott, when
f a c e d with a situation, will
r e m e m b e r what Scott and Jeff
have been teaching t h e m ; a n d
perhaps that recollection will
spell t h e d i f f e r e n c e b e t w e e n
abiding with or breaking the
law."
Richcreek has in the last y e a r
handled some problems such a s
assault and battery, larceny,
destruction of property, and graffiti at Waterviiet.
Yonker, on the other hand, s a y s
his job a t Coloma is "solely
education. If a problem should
arise, the officers on City duty
will be called to handle it."
Yonker says the "biggest dif
fifulty is breaking down the b a r
riers that exist between the kids
and the police. We a r e striving to
be accepted as one of t h e m . "
Richcreek s a y s the biggest
reward for his work " i s to see the
smile on the face of a kid and to
be accepted as a person's p e e r . "
"Ditto," says Yonker. "if I c a n
m a k e a difference with one student or one kid, I've m a d e an impact and that m a k e s the whole
thing worthwhile."

Community General Baptist
Church welcomes "The Singing
Rories" on Sunday, October 6.
They will perform a t the church
at 416 W. Pleasant Street, Waterviiet.
"Versatility" is a key word in
describing "The Rories." As they
minister through gospel music,
such variety is included. It is certain that not all people share the
same preference in m a n y things,
including music.
With that realization, c a m e the
heartfelt desire to reach, touch
and, through Christ's annointing,
be a real blessing to all in atten-
dance! Thus, " T h e Rories" use
various instruments, including
guitars, piano, five-string banjo,
and mandolin.
Whether you prefer Countrystyle Gospel, Bluegrass Gospel,
Traditional or Southem Quartet,
rest assured; you will hear something that will be a personal
blessing!
They all play instruments.
They all sing. They love the Lord
and know HIM as p e r s o n a l
Saviour!
Come, let us share this special
time together.

Before you know it, an hour has
passed and it's time to take it
" h o m e . " Using a four-lega p p r o a c h flying p a t t e r n , a s
designated by the FAA, you fly
upwind (into the facing wind) of
the landing strip, crosswind,
downwind (with the prevailing
wind), and m a k e your final approach.
The instmctor takes the controls a s you hold lightly to the
wheel and mentally m i m i c his
actions. He explains the transition strip is not for landing and
points out where the c r a f t will
touch down.
Slowing the speed, the nose of
the c r a f t is angled downward,
and the dwarfed dollhouses and
scurrying ant-sized vehicles
grow larger at a rapid pace.
The c r a f t touches down with
the squeal of the wheels a s they
m a k e contact with the concrete,
and the instmctor expertly applies the brakes to slow the c r a f t .
Making a turn, he taxis it back
and, using a printed post-flight
checklist, you go through the
shutdown procedure.
The next and last thing on today's agenda is filling out a log
book. There is something about
that log book. It is yours. Your
n a m e is on it, and it details what
you have just accomplished ... a
testimony that " y o u " have
piloted an airplane.
With all sorts of things running
through your mind you schedule
your next instruction time and
walk to your c a r , feeling considerably taller than when you
arrived.

Snow berry, Symphoricarpos occidental is. "Michigan Shrubs" by
Cecil Bill ing ton also calls this
Wolfberry. Regardless of the
name, it is such a pretty little
plant. Growing to about 4' high
and 3' wide and having an upright
growing habit, with arching branches. it looks similar to the oldfashioned spirea. The greenishwhite berries are its main
attraction-to
songbirds, small
animals, and hoofed ones. For
our native American friends,
mashed berries were applied to
the scabs of cuts and burns for
better healing.
Three Snowberry bushes loaded with white berries are planted
at the edge of the driveway here.

Chris G a r g a n o ties for the best
record of the week at &-3 and
moves into first place all by
herself by a full game. Chris
gains credibility every week that
she keeps the top spot.
J a y Patrick went 7-4 and still
keeps a grip on second place.
J a y has a comfortable threegame lead over his nearest competition but he had better not
take that lightly.
Ed Belfy is slowly making his
climb to the top as he also went
8-3 and moves up two spots from
fifth to third. No one had better
take Ed lightly as he has shown
t h a t he c a n be o u r m o s t
dangerous player.
Jim Edwards goes 7-4 and
m a r k s time in fourth place this
week. But he does it by the seat
of his pants a s he is tied with
Barry Nilson overall. But Jim
won out by virtue of the tiebreaker. That means that
Barry's 6-4 record drops him two
spots f r o m third to fifth place.
Deer season is now open to bow

Nancy Huffman went 8-3 and
moves up a spot to sixth place.
She is just two g a m e s away f r o m

However, the tie-breaker is the

The Hartford Indians traveled
lo Panther Stadium for their annual clash with Waterviiet and
came away with a hard-earned
39-6 victory.
Playing in what was a driving
rain at times in the first half, the
Indians fumbled the ball away on
several possessions, including
the very first series they had the
ball.
Waterviiet capitalized on that
first turnover and responded with
an option pass on its first offensive play. Fullback Ben Iliff
received the pitch from quarterback Ben Bobay and tossed a
33-yard aerial to receiver Ryan
Erickson to give the Panthers a
first down inside the Indian
20-yard line.
Hartford then seemingly put a
stop to the early Panther threat
by intercepting a pass at the corner of the end zone. However, the
Indians were called for interference, giving Waterviiet a firstand-goal inside the five-yard line.
F r o m there, quarterback Ben
Bobay took it the final yard for
the first score of the game, making the score 6-0 in the Panthers'
favor.
But that was as far as it went as
the Indians proceeded to score
the next 39 points to post a 39-6
win. Possibly compounded by the
a d v e r t w e a t h e r conditions,
Hartford lost three m o r e fumbles
during the game. But each time,
the defense rose to the occasion
to thwart any attempt by the
Panthers to mount a drive and
capitalize on the turnovers.
Not that Waterviiet didn't
make it interesting for awhile. It
was only 7-6 after one quarter
and 19-6 at halftime.

HARTFORD'S JUSTIN SMITH (#23)...sprints around the end
and away from WatervUet defenders Tom Dublin (^52) and
Mike Pethe (#81) as David Glasgow (#74) leads the way.
Smith ran for over 150 yards and scored one touchdown in the
39-6 Indian victory over the Panthers.
(Mike Leith photo)
However, the second half
belonged to the Indians as they
dominated both sides of the ball.
In all, the Indians piled up 400
yards of total offense including
325 on the ground and 75 in the
air. At the s a m e time, the Hartford defense limited the Panthers
to just 76 total y a r d s of offense.
Five different Indians got into
the scoring act, including a
12-yard run by Ricardo Troutman, a two-yard run by Shawn
Mead, a four-yard pass from
rookie sophomore quarterback
Kevin Klug to Chad Gargus, an
electrifying 54-yard run by Justin
Smith, along with 20- and 31-yard
jaunts by Mike DeLaRosa. Troutman also kicked three extra
points. Smith was the leading Indian ground gainer with 150
yards on 14 carries. DeLaRosa
had 70 yards on four carries and
Troutman added 40 yards on five
c a r r i e s . In his f i r s t s t a r t ,
sophomore quarterback Kevin
Klug completed seven of 12
passes for 75 y a r d s and one
touchdown, with Gargus grabbing six of those passes. Andy
Bachman caught the seventh.
Hartford coach J i m Webb was
pleased with his t e a m ' s defensive
performance in limiting the Panthers to 76 total yards. Through
the first two games, the defense
has carried this t e a m and now
the offense has gotten on track,
piling up 857 y a r d s in the last two
games.
J i m Fritz led the Hartford
defense with seven tackles while
Mike DeLaRosa had six. Brian
Kays had an interception while
Andy Bachman recovered a fumble.
Coach Webb feels that strong
senior leadership has helped to
inspire his defense.
The Indians now have a pleasant surprise this week a s their
g a m e with Lake Michigan Catholic h a s been switched to Hartford.
It was originally scheduled to be
played at LMC but had to be
c h a n g e d f o r one r e a s o n or
another.
Meanwhile, out of WatervUet's
76 total vards, Kevin Caine got 26
of those on 15 c a r r i e s while Ben
Iliff added 25 y a r d s on 14 carries.
Iliff also threw the 33-yard pass
to Ryan Erickson.
Defensively, Caine also led
Waterviiet in tackles with 12,
Thomas Reeves had nine, and
Ben Iliff added eight. Tom Dublin
a n d Mike P e t h e r e c o v e r e d
fumbles.
Waterviiet coach Scott Millin
was pleased with his t e a m ' s effort in the first quarter but felt
that Hartford then stepped it up a
notch and his t e a m didn't have an
answer. "They executed well and
we were not consistent with our
execution," Coach Millin recalled.
Coach Millin felt that his t e a m
hit Hartford very h a r d and I have
to agree with him. Hartford m a y
not play against anyone that hits
that hard again this regular
season, with possibly the exception of Decatur.
Coach Millin also felt that
Hartford's depth eventually took
its toll on his t e a m as his players
just got worn down. "We still
have too many kids in the stands
that should be out on the field,
playing and helping this t e a m , "
states Coach Millin.
Waterviiet now must regroup
and focus on New Buffalo as the
P a n t h e r s will travel to Bison
country this F r i d a y .
she did she should do it again
this week. A few more performances like this and she could
move way up.
Doug VanBruggen went 1A
and falls f r o m sixth to eighth
place this week. Doug's perform a n c e wasn't that bad, but with
things this tight it doesn't take
much to fall. On the other hand,
a good performance this week
by Doug could move him up
quite a bit.
But two fourth-quarter scores
by Cassopolis proved to be the
difference as they put the game
out of reach.
Six turnovers, including five
fumbles and one interception,
d o o med the C o m e t s a s the
R a n g e r s took a d v a n t a g e of
several of them.
Coach Dave Stowers was disappointed in the outcome of the
g a m e a s he really felt that his
t e a m had the better personnel
and was capable of winning this
game.
The Comets had 125 yards of
total offense, with Ryan Ott getting 66 of those on 12 carries.
J e r r y Pryor had 16 yards on
seven carries, including a sixyard touchdown. Quarterback
Andy Watson completed one pass
to Antone Hines for seven yards
and also rushed for 17 y a r d s on 10
carries.
Defensively, Tom Hejduk led
Coloma with 13 tackles and also
had a fumble recovery. Keith Kinyon had seven tackles, Pryor
had six, and Craig Hansen added
five.
It doesn't get any easier for the
Comets as they travel to Dowagiac this week.
