Is it a fire, nuclear accident or attack, a weather alert? Ky Angela Stair What do those sirens mean? The Tri-City Area has two sources of sirens, local fire departments and the Palisades Nuclear Plant siren system that is spread out in a 10mile radius of the Covert plant. Watcrvliet and Coloma are within Palisades' 10-mile radius, so the local fire departments only have to use their sirens for fire. Severe weather and enemy or nuclear alerts would be sounded on the Palisades system. £ Mark Savage, spokesman for Palisades, said that the Covert Fire Department, Van Buren County S h e r i f f s Office, or South ilaven Police could activate the 58 sirens if an emergency situation arose. He said they also watch the radar and could use the sirens. Savage said the sirens are tested monthly on the second Saturday of the month. This is a 30-second test with an up-and-down wail. Hartford has part of the Township in the Palisades lU-mtle radius; but the City o f Hartford is not, so the Hartford Police department sets off sirens for fire, severe weather and enemy or nuclear alerts. Hartford's Director of Emergency Management, Pete Sinclair, explained that, although the Fire Department has to set o f f the sirens, they are basically the same everywhere. A short up-and-down wail indicates a fire. A steady siren for three minutes or more indicates an alert (tornado, severe weather, or nuclear or enemy attack) and you should tune your radio to the Emergency Broadcast stations for this area. There you will hear what the alert is and what you should do. Our Emergency Broadcast stations are COSY AM 940 or FM 98.3. The sirens at the local fire departments also go off at noon, during the lunch hour and at 6:00 p.m., the dinner hour. This is a short blast that lasts for 30 seconds. Sinclair added these safety precautions and definitions for thunderstorms and tornadoes. • Watch—Conditions arc favorable for the development of severe weather. • W a m i n g - A severe thunderstorm or tornado has been observed or indicated on weather radar. Severe thunderstorms produce strong, damaging winds, large hail, heavy ram, and deadly lightning. Lightning is one of the single worst killers, so stay indoors. If caught outdoors, seek shelter but avoid towers or tall trees. If swimming or boating, get out of the water as quickly as possible. Tornadoes are nature's most violent storms, Sinclair said.

He is presently serving as Vice President of the Board. He has put in countless hours of volunteer work at the school and through his church affiliation. Central America and Mexico have benefited from his charity work. He has gone for his church, the Agape Christian Church of Kalamazoo, on several mission trips to help those less fortunate and who otherwise would not have dental work done. But his generosity has also extended to many local people who could not afford to have dental work done. Dr. Liebenthal has volunteered many hours on the Miss Hartford Float for the Blossometime Parade and helped with the designing of sets and scenery for local plays and pageants. For his church, he has taught Sunday school, helped w ith the youth kayaking and canoeing adventures, and worked on the Building Committee for the new Family Life Center. Nancy Larson, who wrote the Lions Club nomination letter, said. "As a community, we should be proud of Dr. Liebenthal and all that he does for our community, our citizens and our children." Hartford United Methodist Church nominated Bonita Markillie. Bonita is Pastor Ron Hansen's Administrative Assistant. She is married to Paul Markillie and has two children. Bonita started early to be a contributor to the community. She worked on the first Hartford Ambulance Service. Then, for many years, she worked in the Central Office of Hartford Public Schools. She took an early retirement so she could devote her time and skills to the service of her church. Cooperative Ministries is a groilp of churches from the Hartford area that gathers food, clothing, and money for the needy. The food and clothing are housed at Hartford United Methodist Church and the group dispenses the items when someone is in need. Bonita is in charge of seeing to the needy and puts in many extra hours. Pastor Hansen wrote the letter of nomination and said. "Bonita represents the best of the community. It doesn't matter if it is large or small, she is always there to help; and much of her work is done 'behind the scenes' where the public is not aware of the good work she does for the community. Her humility should be recognized."

By Angela Stair Judy Bums was the Watervliet Middle School Principal for many years but was forced to retire for health reasons, due to her heart condition, in January 2000. She has since had a heart transplant. Before coming to Watervliet to be the Middle School Principal in 1991, Judy had lived with her husband. Rex, in Washington, D.C., where he worked in the Pentagon. Before that, they had lived in Coldwater where they raised their two daughters. Connie and Stacie. B u m s ' story began in October 1998 when she had an angiogram after having chest pain and a near fainting spell. A blockage was discovered and a stent was used to open the artery. B u m s said the next day a clot had formed in the stent and caused a major heart attack. Bums went back to work part time and then increased t o full time as W M S Principal. In October 1999, her cardiologist. Dr. Kuhnlein. sent her to the University of Michigan's Congestive Heart Failure and Transplant Clinic. At the Clinic, the testing and evaluation revealed not only the damage that had been done by the heart attack but also revealed a pre-existing heart condition called "cardiomyopathy" that had been undiagnosed previously. Bums said. "The decision to retire was not easy because of the new school, but living had advantages for me." Her last day at work was November 16. 1999, and she officially retired on January I, 2000. During this lime. Bums said she was able to maintain her life through medication and rest. In April 2001, she and her husband sold their home and moved into their fifth-wheel trailer until iheir new home could be built in Linden, Michigan, where they now live. Bums said the move brought them closer to family and U of M. In May 2001, she had a severe bout of congestive heart failure and was hospitalized. After a discussion with her cardiologist. Dr. John Nicklas, the long testing and evaluation to become a possible heart transplant recipient began. The many tests that were done were to gather information on her other major organs and systems. Bums said, "Having a physical was the easiest part. 1 had to have many different tests, from lung function to a dental checkup and a visit with the thoracic surgeon who would perform the transplant " Her tests had begun in June and by October 2001 her case was taken to the transplant committee lo see if she met the necessary criteria. She was listed on October 4, 2001. On that same day, she was hospitalized with an erratically rapid heartbeat that resulted in the implantation of a pacemaker/ defibrillator. Her heart was having difficulty in maintaining strength to force blood through her organs. In the spring of 2002, she again had a major bout of congestive heart failure and was hospitalized. She spent two weeks in ICU at the top of the transplant list, which is the length of time you can remain at the top of the list. A heart that matched her blood type and size had not been found, so they decided to implant a Left Ventricle Assist Device (LVAD). The recovery from this thoracic surgery was long and difficult. Bums and her husband had to leam to clean and change the dressing for the drive line site. They had to leam how to change back and forth from the base power unit that had a 12foot cord to two batteries. Each battery weighed two pounds and is wom in a shoulder hamess. She needed someone with her constantly and she had to live with being in the end stage of heart failure. "This was a very difficult period for me, but even more so for my husband. Rex, who may as well have been tethered to me by a 12foot cord." Bums said. "Being the g 0 0 ^ guy that he is, he hung in there. 1 guess that was the worse part o f ' f o r better or worse.'" Her heart transplant took place on October 13, 2002. She said she was one of the fortunate 29 that received transplants at the University of Michigan in 2002. Bums was discharued 10 days later. "Even before being listed, we attended a transplant support group meeting. We found the people to be most helpful and friendly. 1 learned about many things that I would experience before, during, and after the transplant.

This is the first day of May in this brand new month. It is also a very special month of the year because of the color and the beauty it provides. This is w hen all of the blooms come alive from their winter's nap. To live in Southwest Michigan at this time of year is the best. We do have all the color, with the beautiful trees and the flowering trees and plants. As 1 drove down the street in Coloma on Friday, 1 was amazed to see the beautiful blooming trees on Main Street. The whole town has a soft white glow. The trees have not been in too long but they still provide so much depth with the blooming flowers. Along all of the streets in the area you can see the flowering magnolias or the tulip trees as someone calls them. They are so great. I especially love them when those beautiful flowers began to drop and the whole area under the tree is pink and white. Of c o u r s e after the many months of no color, only white and shades of gray, these brand new spring colors really give the eye a blast of reality. I be tulips and the daffodils and the rest of the spring bounty give us so much to look at in all of the yards. I have to admit that is the one thing I was a little envious about this last time Mom and I went out to California... the wonderful flowers days, which has given me hope and encouragement," Bums said. "My physical recovery has gone remarkably well," Bums said. She said there are three major concems (physically). One is the development of some type of cancer because of the weakened immune system or the development of an infection that overcomes the immune system and doesn't respond to treatment. The third is organ rejection that cannot be controlled or stopped Rejection is determined by doing a heart biopsy. Inserting a catheter in the right neck vein and feeding it into the heart is how a heart biopsy is performed. They are done weekly at first, then biweekly, once a month, six weeks, and then two months to six months and then, to those far out from transplant, they get yearly biopsies. As a transplant person. Bums says she must be especially vigilant of her health and she is constantly washing her hands. She takes her medication religiously, watches her diet, exercises, and gives thanks, "Gaining strength and confidence in what I can do again has been the most difficult part of the recovery," Bums said. "For over 18 months, 1 was never alone. I was not allowed to drive, go shopping alone, or do all the things we take so for granted. "I am excited about going grocery shopping, cooking, playing with our grandson and, as I reach my sixmonth anniversary, being able to get in our travel trailer and just go." She added, "I have not felt this well in many, many years. I do not really know how a 59-year-old should feel, but this is wonderful." Judy Bums has not met her donor's family yet but has sent a letter to them through the Gift of Life. Eventually meeting them could be a possibility.

The only Mantbrdite I know of who was the subject of a five-state police search was a mild-mannered citizen of an inventive mind and possessing a keen sense of humor. His name... Lloyd Blyly. He was the owner and proprietor of Riverview Dait and Equipment out north of town on our own pristine Paw Paw River. Son Larry and Wife Lois, who are friends of ours, still run the business to this day. The story of how Lloyd became enmeshed in the toils of the law follows: The Blyly family is descended from a long line of very independent thinkers. Quakers, they came from the Carolinas and settled in the Cassopolis area, where they were actively involved before the Civil War in the Underground Railroad. I his was a clandestine organization that helped poor slave families to escape bondage in the South and attain freedom. Larry told me that when he was a child his family used to visit relatives in the Cassopolis area, particularly his Dad's Aunt Cynthia Keyscr, who lived in Elkhart, Indiana. Living with her was her Mom. Sarah Jane Segerfoos (I love that name). Now the Blyly family owned a series of cars that were notable for giving out on long trips... one was a Whippet, as Larry recalls. The road between Dowagiac and Cassopolis was hilly and curvy... a desolate area. Larry 's Mom, Mary, was a careful soul. She dreaded the trip in an unreliable car, so she suggested Van Buren Sportsman's Club Fish Fr^ Every Friday 5-3pm Shrimp & Chicken Full order $6.00 H order $4.75 CR 687, 1 mile north of Hartford, past HHS Call 621-3994 after 2pm for more information they borrow her Dad's new Plymouth. Mary, descended from an old Hartford family, the Millers, was a determined person in her own right. She gave piano lessons in their home. Generations of pupils still enjoy the fruits of her teaching... including her own son, Larry, who plays in local Rig Hand groups, including the Hartford Alumni All Stars. Her Dad was a local dealer in butter, eggs, and other dairy products. Anthony Miller generously let them use the new car for their trip. And thus they embarked on their journey. Upon arrival, Lloyd said he wanted to go downtown and visit his old friends from former days when he lived in the area. So he did... parking the new Plymouth in downtown Llkhart. After searching out some of his old buddies, he got in the new car to return to his Aunt's, where they were staying. On the way home, he stopped at a gas station and filled the tank for their return to Hartford. The attendant commented on the line new Chrysler Lloyd was driving. The family ate supper with Aunt Cynthia and Grandma Sarah. Afterwards, Lloyd allowed as to how he'd better go out and bring in their overnight luggage from the car. When he did so, he was ama/ed to find the trunk was empty. He called Mary in alarm. When she came out, she looked at the automobile and said in horror, "Oh, Lloyd, this is not Pop's Plymouth... it is a Chrysler!" Lloyd hopped into the seat and drove back downtown, cringing at the sight of every policeman he met. Driving directly to the police station, he walked in and slumped in a chair. Police gave him a glass of water. Revived, the Hartford man gasped, "I have a car that doesn't belong to me!" Then he unfolded his story. Meanwhile, the police had broadcast the theft of the car. owned by an Elkhart salesman, over five stales, and a three-hour search had been in progress. Lloyd found his father-in-law's car right where he had parked it.

Among the matters lo be discussed are the 25-miles-per-hour speed limit at the City l imits on Coloma Road. Commissioner Sue Dahlquist wants the limit raised. "It's the biggest speed trap. I'm embarrassed by il," Dahlquist said. "The speed limit is so far out of town. It's a crock. People in that cemetery aren't going to come out on the road." Coloma Chief of Police Kenneth Gustafson argued that raising the speed limit would just encourage people lo speed. "I've caught people doing 55 or 60 coming up the hill." Gustafson said.

It's wrong, just wrong." Dahlquist referred to speed limits of 35 mph within the City I imits of Hartford and Watervliet. Gustafson said that those two cities don't have the traffic that Coloma does. " W e ' v e got enough speeders Gustafson said. "We don't need to raise the limit."

While this is the worst thing thut could happen to the purist tly fisherman, it can be a source of delight for those who prefer to do their fishing with live bait. In fact, it can create a new hunting s e a s o n - f o r nightcrawlers. these king-si/ed worms, sometimes called dew worms and nightwalkers. can look like a real feast to a hungry trout or nearly any other game fish. I or that reason, all good bait shops make sure they carry a dependable stock of crawlers and other kinds of worms used for fishing. During normal weather, nightcrawlers do what their name indicates. Unless they ground gets ver> dry, they come up out of their burrow after dark to fee on lush lawns and mate to assure a continuing population. Watering a lawn can create favorable conditions most of the time but a heavy downpour of rain can threaten them with drowning. That can create a bonanza of opportunity for any fisherman who wants to take advantage of it, then. On most, normal nights, these big worms, some nearly a foot long, will just emerge part way from their burrows. Fhey leave their rear ends solid!) anchored in the ground as a protective measure. Nightcrawler hunters soon leam this and use extra care in approaching and t n i n g to capture them in the beam of a dim flashlight. Although the\ probably o f f e r l o t s o f h u n t i n g can't really see, a bright light quickly spooks them and their amazing rear gear can whip them completely out of sight and to the safety of their ground hole. Just as is the case with trout in small streams, nightcrawlers are also repelled by vibrations. For this reason, they should be approached with care. Some crawler hunters put a sheet of red plastic over their flashlights to cut down on the warning glare. If the light is too bright, it should quickly be moved off the intended target and shined off to the side. Make any kind of error, though, and your quarry will vanish so fast you may not even be sure a crawler was there in the first place. If everything is done right and you grab one of these big worms, make sure you catch it by the right end. Make an error and it will slide right out of your fingers and disappear down the hole to safety. A beginning nightcrawler hunter usually needs a bit of education before becoming successful in this kind of fascinating night activity. I he worm must be grabbed fast but not so tight or pulled so hard as to make it break to where the rear half will zip out of sight, leaving only the front end. Done correctly, the worm is held firmly and only worked out of its burrow as it seems to relax enough to be pulled out entirely. As nightcrawler hunters get older, the) begin to realize their backs do. too. Where a kid may engage in crawler hunting for an hour or two. an older back will soon let you know the difference. The only cure for such a backache may be to just give up this night sport and buy your bait from a dealer, A few successful do-it-yourselfers may extend their crawler hunting days by just crawling along on their knees and maybe wearing some rubber protection to keep from getting too wet. Best of all is to get one of those huge rain storms, then hurry to take advantage of the big worms. They will be completely out of their burrows and can often be scooped up by the hundreds, providing bait all summer if kept in the right, cool container-not our home refrigerator where they may escape. Wives tend to get rather wrathy when that happens!

Ihey come in white ranging through cream and yellow to pink, red and orange, if you said narcissus, you're right. Some of them have a small cup; some have double flowers with more than one layer of petals.

Area track results 1 call eight varsity baseball and softball coaches alone every week and have made numerous attempts to work out something over the years with area track coaches. I hey say that they forget or give me a host of other reasons, but tne point is the kids suffer because somehow 1 usually do not get much. 1 know most of them and they are good people but, if it gets in the other daily newspaper, how much more trouble would it be to send one more fax to the Tri-City Record office? 1 read about the Watervliet Relays in the daily newspaper. Otherwise, 1 would not even have known about them. I am not picking on Watervliet, but that is just one example. So 1 just wanted to let track parents know why they will not be seeing much in the way of track results until they let their coaches know they want their results sent to the local paper as well.
