council A to decide

Locked landfill gate for refuse haulers ?

Who should be allowed to use the Cass City landfill?

The village council Tues- day evening wrestled with that question, specifically a praposal by its public utilities committee that trash L W n g firms be barred -- om using the landfill.

That would mean that only persons and companies who haul their own trash could dump it there.

The council ultimately decided to delay a decision to its Feb. 22 meeting, in order to get some response by then from the public.

“Invited to the Tuesday eet ing were represent a -

Lives of the four townships who pay Cass City to allow their citizens to use the landfill and commercial haulers who do business in C a s City.

The townships -- Elkland, Novesta, Elmwood and El- lington -- pay $3.75 per resident per year to allow their citizens to use the landfill without further - farge, provided individuals d a i n a permit at the village municipal building. (Cass Cityans also need a permit.) No change in that fee was proposed.

Non-residents of those areas presently pay 50 Cents

, COMMITTEE CHAIR- man James Ware explained it was proposing barring commercial haulers from using the landfill for various reasons.

Due to stiffer state regulations, it is getting more expensive to operate a public landfill and more difficult to comply with the law, Speeifi- cally, tightened rules make it very important that ob- jects going into landfills are free of toxic substances.

Complying with state requirements may eventually become so expensive that Cass City won’t be able to afford to operate it any longer, he said.

Barring commercial haulers lessens the chances of toxic materials being dumped there, he continued, as well as reducing the chances of material being disposed of there from out- side the four-todnship area.

He pointed out the commercial haulers have access to other landfills. Gateway Sanitation Services owner AI Nascivera, who is buying the local residential and commercial refuse hauling business of Gary Stine, said a ban on using the local landfill shouldn’t be a problem.

“We don’t use it anyway,”

additional expense of hauling their loads “30-40 miles away.”

Rich’s Disposal owner Howard (Rich) Cosway uses the Cass City, and Car0 (also municipally owned) landfills and one private one near North .Branch. “It just de- pends where I’m at ,”

Some council members expressed some concern over what might happen with haulers such as Cos- way, who don’t own their own landfill.

He suggested he could get by “if I had to,” but he might have to raise his rates,

Elmwood Township Supervisor Roy Messer said that quite a few residents use commercial pickups. Citizens could haul trash themselves “but that’s an inconvenience.”

THEN THERE WAS DON Little. He wasn’t there, but Ray Hayes of Gateway made sure he was mentioned.

An exemployee of retiring Stine, he has had a trash pickup route of his own and took over the General Cable business from the retiring Stine. “That’s the best account in town,” said Nasci- vera, who was expecting to get it when he bought Stine’s

use its own truck and employee to take the trash there, it can use it,

Novesta Township Super- visor Bill O’Dell commented, “It’s a matter of record we (the township board) are opposed to use and development of the landfill in our township,” (The Cass City owned landfill is in Novesta. 1

“All we have to do is (let someone) dump a load of toxic (materials) in there and get away with it. It’s a bomb. It’s a danger.”

Cost of operating the landfill in 1982 is budgeted a t $29,600. Fees paid by the four townships, individuals and private haulers should defray $18,500 of that, with the rest coming from the village treasury.

NOT HEYRESENTED AT the meeting were members of the general public.

“It’s a very important issue and I don’t think we should jump into anything,” commented Dorothy Stahl- baum.

Her fellow council members agreed and the issue of banning commercial haulers and raising rates for non-residents of the four townships and village will be decided at the Feb. 22 meet-

The NBC news department, i:l preparation for a documentary on the life of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in commemora- tion of the 100th anniversary of his birthday, had a crew in the Ubly area for two days id November.

In a segment that lasted two minutes at most, the only person shown on the air who talked about what the coming of electricity meant was a retired farmer apparently from North or South Dakota .

The rest of the segment consisted of short scenes broadcast to the accompani- ment of a folk song about the wonders of electricity.

Some of the quick scenes were shot in the Ubly area, but one had to know what they were looking at to recognize them, Krause said. Shown was the Fisher

The manager commented that when that much film is shot and only a very small portion is used, “you’re always disappointed.”

He said his major disap- pointment, however, was that although the REA was mentioned, not only was Thumb Electric not mentioned, no cooperatives were mentioned.

It was they and their members. he pointed out, who brought electricity to rural America. The role of the REA, started by Roose- velt, was to loan the money.

OTHER ITEMS

Starting date for the new sewage treatment plant has been delayed a month. Oper- ation will now begin about March 1.

The council authorized Althaver to sign the notice concerning Barbara Jamie- son’s application to the De- partment of Social Services for a license to operate an adult foster care facility in her home on Pine Street.

The council could have taken a position for or against the license but chose to have Althaver merely certify on the form that, “The proposed facility is located more than 1,500 feet from an existing similar facility, or anothe; proposed one.”

Pinney State Bank has donated $l,OOO for the tennis courts in memory of- the late Horace Bulen. Donations now total $10,223.

The Novesta Township Board has voted to give $250 to the village for use in the park, in appreciation of its citizens using it.

The skating rink in the village park, near the sled- ding hill, is now open. Ex- treme cold weather has made it difficult to flood and maintain, according to village Superintendent Lou La- Ponsie. Snow is not removed on week ends.

TERMINALS READY -- About 50 persons, mostly teachers and school administrators, nt- tended an educational micro-computer awareness workshop Thursday at the Regional Educa- tional Media Center in Cass City. Paul Hoagland, standing at right, taught the two sessions. His firm supplied the 16 computers used by those attending. He will repeat the workshop April 21-22.

THROW AWAY -- Dean Rabideau adds his trash to the pile dumped at the Cass City landfill Saturday morning by persons who haul it themselves. For that purpose, the landfill is open 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Wednesdays and 7-11 a.m. Satur- days. The pile is later pushed into the trench and covered with dirt.

There’s been n proposal to make a new Thumb athletic league to replace the Big Thumb and Thumb B conferences.

Unlike other proposals that were based on distance, the new alignment appears to be based on the athletic repu- tations of the schools. The suggestion was to place North Branch, Caro, Bad

Axe, Vassar, Cass City, Lakers and Millington in one division.

The second division would include Mayville, Reese, Harbor Beach, Ubly, USA, Sandusky and Marlette.

Without talking to anyone about it, here’s a prediction that the new league won’t get off the ground.

**********

According to one Cass City fan that attends most of the games a t home and away, fans in Cass City are among the most unfeeling of any in the Thumb B Association.

At the school there are two spaces reserved for handicapped parking and a t every game the spaces are filled by unauthorized cars that ignore the signs,

At North Branch, for instance, the handicapped parking was available for the handicapped, a user of the space told me.

Perhaps the solution is for the village police to hand out tickets a t the next game the spaces are used by cars with- ,out the proper plates showing they a re eligible for the spec-

A new shoe store will replace Hobart’s shoe store that quit business this month. A game room is said to be on the drawing board for the building that the Paint Store left when it moved to new, larger quarters.

Finally, Melvin Pasanski announced this week that he is opening a store in the front of Richard’s furniture ware- house building.

There’s an interest in better health and exercise the easy way.

,Fishing h shanty theft prevented

The theft of an ice fishing shanty from Saginaw Bay

a was prevented by two off- duty policemen Sunday evening, Cass City officer Phil

I Klaus and his brother, Sebe- waing officer Paul Klaus.

, . Phil was visiting Paul h when the latter was con-

tacted about 6 p.m. by some persons who saw a pickup truck near several shanties.

, The driver had gotten out and entered some of them.

. Paul Klaus notified the Huron County Sheriff’s De- partment. The officers then set off over the ice on the 6ebewaing Police Depart- ment snowmobile.

When they reached the pickup - Phil Klaus estimated it was about three-

quarters of a mile off-shore -- they .found. a shanty had been loaded in the bed. The shanty belonged to Royal Vollmar of Unionville.

The occupants of the pickup, a father and two sons, were escorted to shore, where the father was ques- tioned by deputies.

Subsequently charged with larceny under $100 was Bruce A. Kyser, 48, of Laingsburg.

He pleaded guilty to the charge Monday before Hur- on County District Judge John T. Schubel, who accepted his plea and sentenced him to 30 days in the county jail.

The two sons were not charged.

NOTHING MUCH was left after a shed in the woods east of Deford, apparently used as a playhouse, burned Sunday night. Firemen shoveled snow on the remains to put out the fire.

Firemen fight fire with shovels, snow

Elkland Township firemen fought fire with snow and shovels Sunday night.

Arson is believed to have been the cause of the fire, in which a wood shed burned. A burning can of lighter fluid was found a t the scene.

Owner of the approximately lo-by-lo-foot wood shed, apparently used as a playhouse, was not immed- ia tely determined .

The structure was in woods about a quarter-mile east of Kingston Road and south of Deckerville Road. It was on property adjacent to that owned by John Schwartz, who discovered the fire. He told firemen the flames were about 30 feet high, almost a s high as the - trees, when he spotted it.

Flames were still 10 feet high when they arrived. After the structure col- lapsed, firemen and Schwartz shoveled snow on the remains to put the fire out.

All that was found in the remains was a wood stove and a lawn chair.

The last of the fire trucks returned to the station about 7:20. The sheriff’s department was notified of the suspected arson.

It was kicked off when one that important. of the group casually re- marked that Bo was nothing but nuts not to make tracks as soon as he received the contract signed on the dotted line.

There was a little surprise when he failed to find instant agreement. To varying de- grees most of the group thought that Bo’s decision was a wise one.

There wasn’t a true “Old Blue” in the group so dis- card any notion that prej- udices for U of M colored the way the majority saw the situation.

First and foremost was that right now Bo will make over $loO,OOO a year and, with the athletic director- ship his down the road, has lifetime security. There wasn’t any that thought that Eo shouldn’t go if he couldn’t adequately support his family where he was.

Sure, he might. All of us face those same choices throughout life. If hindsight indicates that you never made the wrong decision you a re either singularly blessed or very, very young.

Extinguishing fuses and a fire extinguisher were used to put out the fire.

Firemen were going to climb up on the roof so they could drop a chain down the chimney to clean it out, but weren’t able to hook a ladder onto anything in order to safely climb to the chimney.

The Car0 Fire Depart- ment was then asked to bring its ladder truck, but while it was on its way, the fire burned itself out and its services weren’t needed.

Assistant Fire Chief Ron Pawloski said heat from the fire cracked the brick chimney, which will have to be replaced.

Every once in a while, I’m asked: “Is that little boy who had his own personal magic dragon still alive?”

It was in August of 1980 that I first wrote about P.J. Dragan, then five years old. He had leukemia, and his parents had just learned the disease was out of remission and P.J.’s time was limited. “Play games with him - enjoy him while you still have him,” the doctor said.

P.J.’s parents a re Paul and Sharon Dragan. Paul is a Detroit police officer. One of the things they wanted to do while they still had P.J, was take him to Disney World. Medical bills had wiped out their treasury, but Paul was prepared to bor- row the money for the trip. That wasn’t necessary.

The Dragans’ friends raised travel funds through a benefit party a t the Check- er Bar & Grill, and I got a glow out of persuading some readers to chip in. Checks were made payable to “P, J ,’s Dream. ”

The dream come true was a big success. P.J. saw “Pete’s Dragon” a t Disney World and got his picture in the Orlando newspaper. And, soon after the return from Florida, the doctor said P.J.’s leukemia had gone into a second remission.

That was 15 months ago. This week, P.J.’s father told me: “P.J is still on chemo- therapy, both orally and intravenously. He has lost his hair several times and been very ill with side effects, but it hasn’t damp- ened his spirit to live. He is

little boy’s illness was first diagnosed in 1979, he has heard regularly from the anonymous dragon. He looks forward to whatever his magic dragon will do next. There’s been a stuffed dragon, a big green cake, poems, books, recordings and so on. The fun of anticipating has helped P.J. and his family through some rough times.

Invaluable help has also been received from the staff in the Hematology-Oncology clinic a t Children’s Hospital of Michigan, according to Paul Dragan.

“P.J. has been fortunate to have a very special doctor - Yaddanapudi Ravi. He has taken the time needed for our entire family, to help us understand leukemia better, learn to accept life the way it really is, and to try to live one day a t a time,” Dragan said. “He is a re- markable man and one of the main reasons that Shar- on and I have started this group. ” meant By “this 220 parents group,” who Dragan have

banded together under the name of “Leukemia-Re- search-Life!” to raise funds for Children’s Hospital to be spent on research into all childhood cancers.

“It is our way of showing our gratitude to Children’s Hospital for our son’s life,” Dragan said. “We did not realize until P .J . was af- flicted that cancer is the No. 1 killer disease of children in the US, Somehow we think it happens on the other side

of town, to some other person’s kid, in the newspapers or on the Phil Dona- hue show. Until it happens in your “All own we home. want is a future

for children with cancer. We never thought i t would happen in our home, and we wonder whose home it will strike next .”

On March 6, the group will raffle off nine weekend vacations to such places as Las Vegas and Niagara Falls. Tickets, for $1, a r e available by phoning the Dragans a t 527-7253, or the David Grandinetts a t 4644270, or Trudy Fink at Children’s Hospital, 494- 5490. Or you could just mail your donation to Paul Drag- an a t 20250 Goulburn, De- troit 48205.

The little boy who has his own personal magic dragon is still alive. If enough magic dragons can be found, there will come a day when parents won’t have to worry about cancer killing their children.

for Rev. Gelatt Now that he has the time, he is hoping to build his own house some day, for which he has the property, but that may depend on whether he can sell his present house.

Crawford, 61, said he decided to quit work because he was old enough to retire and because he has a lot of things he wanted to do.

He isn’t worried about getting bored. “If I live to be 200 years old, I might get everything done. ”

Consortium Executive Director Frank Lenard told board members he will have his response to the report a t the February meeting, after they have had time to read it.

Rev. Milton Ralph Gelatt, 68, of Houghton Street, Cass City, died suddenly Thurs- day a t Hills and Dales Gen- eral Hospital.

He was born Jan. 3, 1914, in Susquehanna, Penn., the son of Ralph and Ethel (Conrad) Gelatt.

He married Leta O’Dell Aug. 24, 1940, in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, Can- ada. After he graduated from the Moody Bible Insti- tute in Chicago, Rev. and Mrs. Gelatt had their first pastorate in Reed City.

He later served congrega- tions a t Newaygo, Sebe- waing and Holbrook, east of Cass City, where he was pastor for 15% years. He retired in 1975 from the active ministry.

Rev. Gelatt also had been a Tuscola County sheriff’ls deputy, was director of the Tuscola County Probate Court juvenile division from 1967-73 and served a s a court bailiff.

He was a member, served on the board of deacons, was Sunday school superintendent and teacher a t the Holbrook Baptist Church.

Rev. Gelatt was a member of the Moody Bible Institute

Alumni Association, Hick- ory Farmers Club and the Cass City chapter of the American Association of Re- tired Persons.

He is survived by his wife ; two daughters, Mrs, Dennis (Phyllis Muston, Rockford, and Mrs. Lauren (Carol) Hager, Port Huron; one sister, Mrs, Esther Davis of Endicott, N.Y.; three brothers, Charles Gelatt, Ed- meston, N.Y., Walter Gelatt, Susquehanna, and David’ Gelatt, Honesdale, Penn., and four grandchildren. One brother, Andrew, preceded him in death.

He was taken from Little’s Funeral Home at 11 a.m. Monday to the First Baptist Church of Cass City to lie in state until the 1 p.m. funeral service. Rev. Dale Bird of the Holbrook Baptist Church and Rev. Wesley Briggs of Millington officiated.

Burial was in Novesta Township Cemetery.

State Sen. A1 DeGrow (R-Pigeon) reminds parents that the law mandating proper child restraints in vehicles for youngsters under the age of four goes into effect April 1 of this year.

“Public Act 117 of 1981 calls for children under 12 months of age to be strapped in a federally-approved child restraint while riding in an automobile,” he said.

“Youngsters ages 1-4 can either ride retrained in a child seating system that meets the federal standards or strapped into the back seat with the automobile’s already installed safety belt,” said Senator DeGrow.

The new law sets a $10 fine against parents found in violation but permits waiv- ers of the fine if the parents acquire a safety seat before the court appearance date on the citation they receive.

Points will not be assessed nor will a copy of the violation be forwarded to the Secretary of State’s office to appear on the parent’s driving record.

“The new law is simply aimed at protecting children from needless harm that could be prevented or less- ened by a safety device,” the senator explained.

“In a 20 mile per hour car

crash, an unrestrained 15 pound infant would be thrown forward with a force of 300 pounds, comparable to a fall from a third floor window. ”

“It is estimated that deaths among young children in this nation could be reduced by 90 percent and injuries by almost 80 percent if all were protected while riding in automobiles by a safe child restraint system ,” said Sen. DeGrow.

Thieves loot tools from barn Equipment worth a total

of $390 was stolen from a Kingston area barn.

The barn’s owner, Donald Powell of Lum, reported the theft to the sheriff’s department Wednesday, Jan. 20. Taken were a Sears air com- pressor, $150; 15-ton hyd- raulic jack, $40; McCulloch chain saw, $200, and 10 gallons of gasoline from some machinery.

Entry was gained by re- moving some boards from a side door. Powell discovered the theft Jan. 18 and said he last checked the barn Jan. 7. The barn is on N. Kingston Road.

A Kingston High School student, Helen Eschtruth of 5360 E . Sanilac Road, reported to Caro state police last Thursday her two rings were stolen while she was attending class a t the Tus- cola Area Skill Center near Caro.

The rings were a 1983 Kingston High School class ring, 10 carat gold with a blue stone and the initials “HE,” worth . _ $135, and an

ported to Cass City police Thursday the battery and radiator cap were missing from a car towed in for service.

The car had gone into a ditch along Deckerville Road near Dodge Road the night before. The items were taken while in the ditch. The battery cables were cut and the battery holder broken. Total loss was set a t $35.

The car is owned by Gale Ferrer.

Notice I said “his or her hair.” The author of the article that I’m borrowing some of the statistics from has his doubts whether the comeback of convertibles will be a success.

The peak year for convertible sales was 1965, when 509,415 were sold (5 .5 percent of all car sales). Back then, only women worried about getting their hair messy and since they were supposedly impressed by men who drove convertibles, it didn’t matter.

Now, however, the author points out, men go to hair stylists, so they don’t want to get their hair messed up either.

As for me, my hair is almost always messy, but I prefer to drive something with a roof over my head, in case I am in an accident and the roof ends up under my head.

Other than one or two rides in roadster sports cars, the only convertible I have ridden in vas a Ford and the top was up when I rode in it. The year, I think, was 1964, and the car was of late 1950s vintage.

All I remember about the ride when it was over is the fellow who owned i t didn’t lock it. If anyone ever wanted to get in i t with evil intent, he explained, i t was better they did so by opening the door than by slashing the top.

Despite such deterrents, I’m sure there are sorne persons -- and for the sake of Detroit, I hope a lot -- who will want to buy the latest rag tops.

I hope that with the manu- facturers’ and the United Auto Workers’ new cmpha- sis on quality, they will have better luck than the man I read about many years ago.

When he picked up his new convertible at the dealer, the top was down and since the weather was nice, he left i t that way.

Sooner or later, of course, it rained. When the down- pour began, he pushed the button. Up came the frame- work out of its compart- ment, but there was no top over it.

Just when it appeared homecoming queens would have to start riding in the backs of pickup trucks, De-

By 1979, 80 percent of the cars sold in the U.S. had factory air conditioning. (The percentage has since declined as the number of small cars on the road has increased. Either it isn’t

Barbara Spencer doesn’t think the auto workers should give up their benefits “because they worked for them .”

She doesn’t feel auto workers should be blamed for the high price of cars. “The people (auto workers) aren’t making that much money for the price of the cars because if they were making the top dollar, they would be able to afford them.”

Car prices are too high. “I think they could sell a lot more cars if they brought the price down. The price is outrageous. ”

One reason Mrs. Spencer feels car prices are too high is, “I think they (the auto companies) want the top

declines in December Idaho is the only state in

the U.S. over which no foreign flag has ever flown. Michigan dairy farmers

received an average of $14.10 per hundredweight (cwt. ) for their milk during December, 10 cents below the December, 1980 price, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service.

This was the first time since November, 1977, that prices have fallen below the previous year’s level.

December milk production totaled 428 million pounds, up 4 percent from a year earlier. Cow numbers increased to 396,000 head, up nearly 2 percent from last year.

Milk per cow during De- cember, at 1,080 pounds, was up 3 percent from a year ago.

Replacement milk cow prices continued their down- ward plunge with Decem- ber’s average of $1,210 fall- ing $70 below a year earlier. Slaughter cow prices averaged $35.60per cwt., down 19 percent.

Nationally, December milk production totaled 10.8 billion pounds, up 3 percent from a year earlier. Produc- tion per cow averaged 987 pounds, 22 pounds above De- cember, 1980. Milk cow numbers were up 1 percent,

The quantity of grain and other concentrates fed to milk cows Jan. 1 averaged 15.9 pounds, up 2 percent from the previous year. The cost of this feed averaged $7.60 per cwt., down 9 percent from a year ago.

Record set GET UP TO $10 FOR YOUR OLD CHECKS

for corn, sugar beets

Michigan farmers have produced a record corn crop for the third consecutive year.

The 1981 crop established new records for planted acreage, acreage harvested for grain, yield per acre and production, according to the Michigan Agricultural Re- porting Service.

The state’s 1981 corn crop of nearly 274 million bushels surpassed the previous year’s record crop by 11 percent. This year’s bumper crop is attributed to a record acreage harvested for grain combined with an all-time high state average yield of 96 bushels per acre. Corn silage production, however, declined 5 percent from last year.

Soybean production at slightly over 29 million bushels dropped 4 percent from a year earlier. A slight increase in harvested acreage was more than offset by a drop in yield to 30 bushels per acre, 2 bushels below last season.

Sugarbeet production at over 2 million tons, a new state record, increased 7 percent from last season. Sugarbeet yields averaged 20.5 tons per acre.

Alfalfa hay production and total hay production both increased 1 percent from last season.

Nationally, corn production is estimated a t a record high 8.2 billion bushels, up 23 percent from last year’s drought-stricken crop and 3 percent more than the previous record crop set in 1979.

The 1981 soybean crop is estimated at over 2 billion bushels, 13 percent more than the 1980 crop.

Production increases were also noted for sugarbeets, alfalfa hay and popcorn.

Fed cattle at 2Onyear low in state

Michigan cattle feeders continue to adjust to poor economic conditions by reducing their fed cattle in- ventories, according to the Michigan Agricultural Re- porting Service.

Producers had 135,000 head of cattle and calves on feed for slaughter market a s of Jan. 1, down 16 percent from a year earlier. This was the lowest Jan. 1 inven- tory since 1961.

Placements during the October -December quarter , at 60,000 head, were down 14 percent from last year’s low placement level. High interest rates, unfavorable market prices, reduced 1981 silage harvests and current uncertainty over the feeding situation all combined to result in the low placements.

Marketings during the past quarter totaled 44,000 head, up 13 percent from the low marketings of a year ago.

In the 23 major producing states, cattle and calves on feed for slaughter market totaled 10 million head, 9 percent below a year ago. This was the lowest Jan. 1 number on feed since 1975.

Both are 1976 graduates of Ubly High School. Mary Jane, the daughter of Ro- man and Marie Pionk of Leppek Road, Ruth, graduated from Michigan State University in 1980 and is employed as a registered nurse at Ingham Medical Center in Lansing.

Denise, the daughter of Carl and Barbara Keller of Patterson Road, Ubly, graduated from MSU last June and is assistant caunty supervisor a t the Farmers Home Administration office in Caro.

They chose to go in the fall to avoid crowds and to carry their belongings in backpacks for ease of move- ment. By the time they got home, they figure they were carrying at least 50 pounds on their backs.

Travel in Europe was via train, bus and once by plane. They stayed in youth hos- tels, private homes and bed and breakfast hotels. They figure their trip cost them about $2,500 each, including airfare.

Arrival was in England and from there, they went to the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, “which is just absolutely beautiful,” said Miss Keller.

THEY TRAVELED BY train from Copenhagen, Denmark, through West and East Germany to Warsaw, a journey of 21 hours.

They received an early indication of what conditions were like in Poland because the train was packed with persons returning from trips to the West. The Poles had with them boxes and boxes of mostly food, but also clothing and other goods, items very difficult and sometimes impossible to buy in their own country.

Their first problem was when their train journey ended on the outskirts of Warsaw. Prior to entering thecountry, they had to buy vouchers good for the equiv- alent of $7 per day in Polish zlotys at the official exchange rate. The problem was the vouchers could only be cashed at the government travel offices and better hotels and neither was close by.

Finally, a man offered to exchange a dollar bill (which they weren’t supposed to have) for 300 zlotys, enough to buy bus tickets into Warsaw. i

American dollars, they soon found, were very much in demand. On the bllack market, they could get 10 times a s many zlotys a s a t the official exchange rate.

The reason dollars were wanted is because they could be spent at stores that only accept foreign currency, supposedly only for tourists and the Comrnu- nist elite. The stores sold such items a s liquor, ster- eos, chocolate and coffee, which were hard to buy in regular stores.

ANOTHER FACT O F life was lines. “Almost anything you wanted to buy, you had to stand in line for,” said Miss Pionk.

And, typical of the economic disorganization, they found, round trip tickets aren’t sold in Poland. “You

don’t stand in line for 10-15 minutes,” said Miss Keller, “you spend an hour and a half,” (and sometimes more).

“And first you have to find out if you’re in the right line,” Miss Pionk added.

Their first full day in Warsaw was spent buying train tickets out of Poland. They were in the country from Oct. 21-27. They also wanted to buy tickets to Kr’acow, but finally gave up and decided to take a plane.

FROM KRACOW, THEY went to Czestochowa, where they stood in line for an hour to buy their return ticket, only to find either they were in the wrong line or the bus had been cancelled.

They decided to take their chances later and set off for the monastery where they wanted to see a famous portrait of the Black Mad- dona, studded with jewels.

The portrait had special meaning for Mary Jane, because a picture of it hangs in her home church, St. Mary’s, a t Parisville.

They found the large monastery packed with people and no sign pointing to the Black Madonna.

Another Pole to the rescue, who led them through the crowds to the portrait.

The man turned out to be a Polish medical student, one of three who were guiding a group of 10 West German medical students around Po- land.

The group had its own bus and gave the women a ride back to Kracow. On the way, they stopped at the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Birkenau, maintained a s memorials to the millions of Jews mur- dered there.

BACK I N KRACOW, they found the youth hostel full. Where would they stay? They asked a woman walk- ing by if she spoke English, so they could ask if she knew of a cheap hotel.

The woman, an assistant professor of physiology and biology at a university, spoke English and invited the two to stay with her. They stayed in her apartment three days.

That attitude of helpful- ness was typical. “We met the nicest people we have ever met there,” Mary Jane said.

“The Polish people don’t have anything. They will give you everything they have,” she noted, addmg, “You look a t the Polish people. Their pride is so strong.”

land, they split up for three days, meeting again in Mu- nich. They toured Germ- any, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy and Spain before splitting up again.

Mary Jane toured further in Spain and also visited Portugal, while Denise went to the French Riviera and Paris.

They remet in Belgium Nov. 27, where they stayed with a friend in Gent, a former exchange student a t Ubly High School.

They went back to Ger- many, then to London, where Denise departed, ar- riving home Dec. 5 . Mary

CASS CITY, MICHIGAN t PAGETWELVE C A S CITY CHRONICLE-THURSDAY, JANUARY 28,1982 ’

Hawks win tuneups for crucial games ahead

The next two weeks will tell the story for the Cass City Red Hawks. Coach Ron Nurnberger’s charges will meet the three contending teams in the Thumb B title chase starting with San- dusky Friday,

They did that by the end of the first quarter, 15-10. Cass City widened the margin again to 21-12 in the first 2% minutes of the second period.

Bad Axe then made another run with a couple of unanswered buckets to close to five points again. Both teams played sloppy ball for the rest of the quarter as the Hawks led 33-26 at the intermission.

Midway through the third quarter,Cass City scored six unanswered points to move 15 points ahead and eliminate whatever chance the Hatchets had of pulling an upset. The Hawks used the fast break effectively to pile up the margin.

Midway in the final period the score was 65-48 and the benches for both clubs started to play out the string, Cass City was led by

Pobanz,who played a fine floor game and netted 17 points. The Hawks guard tandem of Gary Robinson and Ray Ferris accounted for 26 points with 12 and 14 points respectively. John Meininger added 10.

For Bad Axe Mike Epper- son scoreg 14 and Carey Snellenberger and Terry Pangborn, 10 each.

Cass City jumped off to a 23-11 first quarter advantage and never looked back. By the time the second quarter started Coach Ron Nurn- berger was using his bench and for the second straight game was able to run players in and out all evening.

By the half the Hawks were in front 37-21. The game turned into a rout in the second half. At one point in the game Cass City was leading by 30 points.

Cass City was helped by some outstanding foul shooting, especially when the starters were playing. Cass City converted 14 charity tosses in a row in the first half, reminiscent of the great foul shooting teams in recent years. The Hawks’ first miss from the charity stripe came in the fourth quarter,

Cass City was led on the boards by John Meininger with 11 rebounds and by Rick Pobanz with 10.

The scoring was well divided. Cass City had four players in double figures and three others with seven points were Gary or more. Robinson The leaders and

Meininger with 12 points each. The Vulcans had 10 players in the scoring column with Kirk Kenward with 8 points the top pro- ducer.

Cass City used its pressing defense to cause many turn- overs and easy buckets as the Vulcans had trouble getting the ball down the cour t .

VASSAR GAME The Cass City Red Hawks

rolled over an outmanned Vassar Vulcan quintet Fri- day night a t Vassar to stay in the chase for the Thumb B Association title. The score was 69-42 and the margin could have been greater.

Vassar has yet to win in the conference and judging by the game Friday it may go through the second half of the season without a win also.

The Vulcans opened with a zone in the first half and Cass City promptly riddled it with some of the team’s best shooting of the year.

In the second half Vassar switched to a man-to-man but the change in defense didn’t help any.

Nurnberger has to be hoping for a better performance than his charges produced Tuesday in easily disposing of the Bad Axe Hatchets, 67-51.

A similar performance against the Redskins Fri- day and it could be a long night for Hawk fans against Steve Weiler and mates.

Following the key game against the league leaders, the Hawks have a non+on- ference breather against Mayville and then it’s the Lakers and Car0 in that order. Cass City will probably have to win them all to successfully defend its co- championship.

While the Hawks didn’t play well Tuesday, it could be that much of the drama went out of the game in the first four minutes of the first quarter.

The Hawks, paced by Rick Pobanz’ three buckets, raced to a 10-0 lead and never looked back. The Hatchets made several mini runs at Cass City but the closest they could come was five points.

JV’S LOSE

RICK POBANZ lost the ball in the scramble under the basket Tuesday at Bad Axe. The junior guard-forward paced the Hawks with 17 points and a fine floor game. Cass City had little trouble with the Hatchets after opening the game with 10 straight unanswered points.

The Hawk Junior Varsity lost a tough one to the Hatchets, Leading by seven in the final quarter the team lost in the final minutes,

In the free scoring game there were four players on each team in double figures. For the winners, the scorers were Rick Tuckey, 19; Jeff McKenzie, 16; Tim Bates, 15, and Bill Stevenson, 12, For Holmes and Walpole the scorers were: Tim Sever- ance, 17; Ken Martir,, 16; Scott Hartel, 13, and Craig Helwig, 13.

Charmont overcame an early lead by Elkton Mer- chants Thursday to score a 62-58 decision.

Elkton jumped off to a 15-9 first period lead and added to it in the second quarter to lead at the intermission,

Charmont started to rally in the third quarter and cut the Elkton lead to 48-44. In the crucial final quarter a big 18-10 margin salted away the game for the Bowlers,

George Koehler with 23 points and Dale Rieck with 10 led Charmont. Jim Schramski netted 18 and Aaron Deering and Todd Wisenbaugh added 14 each for Elkton.

The final game Thursday was a battle to stay out of the league basement. It was won by Erla’s which used a last quarter rally to post a 71-64 decision over McMahan’s.

The two teams traded baskets for the first three quarters which ended all knotted at 5341. A pressure defense by Erla’s in the final quarter enabled the Food- men to take the win.

The league’s leading scor- er, Ken Pichla, had a big

36-28.

There’s a new leader in the Cass City Recreation Basketball League this week. It’s Farm Bureau which took over the top spot all alone by handing Shet- ler’s its second loss in a row last Wednesday, 53-47.

The battle between the loop leaders was close all the way. Shetler’s edged in front in the first quarter, 13-10, and the Farmers came back to take a 27-25 lead a t the intermission.

The Plumbers looked as if they had the situation under control in the third quarter with a 43-39 lead only to see Farm Bureau rack up a big 14-4 last quarter advantage for the win.

Tom Koch, 22, and Mark Gainforth, 17, led Farm Bureau while Ross Voelker, 13, Paul Beachy, 12, and Kent Shetler, 10, were in double figures for Shetler’s.

In the nightcap Wednes- day, Stevenson Insurance stayed in the title chase by whipping Holmes & Walpale, 79-77, in double overtime.

The Lawyers were down by 10 after three periods but came roaring back in the final stanza to tie it up, 68-68.

In the first overtime Holmes and Walpole went in front by three points with a minute left only to see Stevenson’s convert a foul shot and sink a basket a t the buzzer.

In the second overtime, Stevenson’s held the ball for the last shot and scored to post the win.

“That’s how we wore out a lot of teams in other years,” she said. “We drove them into the ground.”

The team’s other problem is actually a lot of little problems, due to inexper- ience, such a s serving and knowing who is supposed to be where on the court.

The Bulldogs do have a few things going for them, though, including a winning traditiob and, according to the coach, “They hustle.”

They also have a win

Games start a t 6:30 with a varsity match, then the junior varsity, followed by the second varsity contest. Miss Campbell also coaches the J V squad, which has 14 players participating this year,

Most of the crop land in Brazil is owned by wealthy persons, Mantey said, who often live in town.

A lot of agricultural research is being done in Brazil for a variety of crops. The tour group visited some of the research farms.

Crops they observed being grown in Peru were corn and potatoes .

District conservationist Phil Dakin showed slides of progress made in conserv- ing soil in Tuscola County during the past vear. includ-

ing m-easures to control animal waste, wind erosion, water runoff and erosion and use of conservation tillage.

Richard and Doug Colling, father and son respectively, of Unionville, received a plaque honoring them a s cooperators of the year a t the 38th annual Tuscola County Soil Conservation District meeting last Wednesday.

The dinner meeting, held at Car0 High School, at- tracted 176 persons. The presentation of the plaque was made by Donald Loomis of Cass City, vicechairman of the district board.

The Collings grow 900 acres of beans, corn and wheat in Elmwood and Columbia Townships. Rich- ard Colling also has 8,000 laying chickens, plus 33,000 layers with Mr. and Mrs. Ray Brinkman.

The honored farmers have installed seven erosion control structures on their farm, including an aluminum toewall structure in Elmwood Township at the end of a grassed waterway leading into a ditch. It was the first structure of its type in the county.

Other conservation measures on their farm include tiling, waterways, use of conservation tillage and planting trees.

The program was presented by Ed and Rose Mantey of Fairgrove, who showed slides of their trip to Brazil and Peru a year ago. They were among a group of 36 in an 18day tour organ- ized by Tuscola County Ex- tension Director Bill Bortel.

A lot of their time in Brazil was spent looking at soybeans. Mantey noted that that country’s soybean industry has been developed during the past 10 years, after the United States government placed an embargo on sale of the crop to Japan.

Japan spent millions of dollars to develop growing of soybeans in Brazil, whose crop is now one-third the size of the one grown in this country. Its best export market for soybeans, of course, is Japan.

The land the Manteys observed was rolling, which prohibited use of equipment wider than 16 feet. Soybean yields averaged 40 bushels per acre. Wood was com-

Rather than giving aspirin in some form, parents are advised to leave their children’s low grade fevers un- treated or make the patient more comfortable by spong- ing with lukewarm water.

Not too long ago we expected our children to recover nicely from bouts of chicken pox or influenza-like illnesses. However, in recent years we have been hearing a lot about these viral illnesses.

Parents are urged to be alert to the Reye’s Syn- drome signs. If your child is recovering from a flu-like illness or chicken pox and displays persistent and continuous vomiting or shows changes in behavior such as

’excessive drowsiness or combativeness, get medical help immediately.

If you can’t reach your own doctor, take the child to a hospital emergency room, If the symptoms indicate Reye’s Syndrome, treatment should begin a t once.

C A S CITY C H K U h ICLE-THURSDAY, JANUAHY 28,1982

From bee-f to pipes CASS CITY, MICHIGAN

Meat market was built at turn of centurv

d Where slabs of beef once

hung will soon be plumbing fixtures.

What until 1980 had been a meat market on Main Street since the turn of the century is being remodeled into the Cass City store of Shetler Heating and Plumbing of Pigeon.

The building, between Sommers’ Bakery and the Ben Franklin store. was built in 1900 or 1901 by Harry Young, according to Jack Esau, president of the Cass City Area Historical Society.

Young and Bill Janics opened a meat market in a small frame building at that location in 1895. When he decided to build a new store, the old one was put on rollers and moved to the center of Oak Street at the intersec- tion with Main.

That meant wagon and buggy drivers and horse riders, when turning onto or off Main, had to go around

the store, where business was being conducted as usual. That situation lasted from April to October, while the new building was under construct ion.

, The ice box, pressed metal ceiling and iron posts in the front of the store were all ordered by catalogue from New York City. Esau, who worked for Young from 1937-40, recalls the butcher kept the catalogue around the store for years after- ward.

The front of the walk-in cooler, which can be seen in the photo of the interior of the store, was polished oak, which needed oiling once a month, Esau recalled.

The awning, which can be seen in the other photo, was a must for stores back then. They provided shade for stores on the north side of the street and shielded shop- pers from the rain.

The awnings were also

great dust collectors, provided a place for sparrows to build their nests and were frequently ripped by high winds, Esau said. Stores stopped using them in the 1950s.

The car being driven by the market in the photo was used for meat deliveries by Fred Maier, although that is not him in the photo. He delivered meat as far away as Greenleaf, Deford and Sha bbona .

The car, probably from about 1910, was a Cadillac, which had started life as a passenger car. The rear seat was removed and replaced with the wood ice chest, making it probably Cass City’s first pickup truck, Esau said.

Young was in partnership with John Benkelman from 1900-1908 and with Maier, who started there as an employee, from 1924-41. He sold his share to Jim Gross

in 1941. Gross and Maier were

partners from 1941-56, when Gross became sole owner. He sold the business in March, 1974, to Hans Schuchman, who leased it about three years later to Jim Piestro.

Piestro apparently ran the business about a year before it closed.

Gross still owned the building. He sold it to Ed O’Dowd and Francis Mitch- ell, who opened it under the name Cass City Meat Mark- et in December, 1978.

Mitchell, now the owner of Ed’s Bar in Owendale, soon to be Frank’s Bar, believes it had been closed about a year prior to the reopening,

Mitchell sold out about two years ago to O’Dowd, who ran it, Mitchell believes, until July or August, 1980, when it was closed for the last time.

accomplished at least one thing - that he has had the self-discipline to -tay in school and reach thib goal of graduation.

“But he doesn’t know any more than an eighth grader. The high school diploma is a joke as far as job training is concerned.”

The biggest stockholder in General Motors, Charles Stewart Mott, did something about this situation. With a big donation of funds, which primed the pump for more local and state funding, he started a good vocational school.

Flint’s school became the model of others, including ours in Lapeer County, next door to Flint. Today there are 40 such schools in Mich- igan. Ha’’ the counties have them. Five of the six counties in the Thumb of Mich- igan have vo-techs. (Huron County is the exception: editor.)

The Mott Foundation saw the defects of the old vocational system - inadequate, outdated machinery and in- competent teachers, who taught from books instead of from practical experience of their own.

“You can’t teach a boy to be a modern mechanic by tearing down a Model T Ford,” said the people at Mott’s. “You can’t teach today’s welding techniques with 1920 equipment - and a hack instructor.”

The cost? Not all that much. An extra tax of 2.3 mills is levied. Under Michi- gan’s tax system with 50 percent valuations, an $80,000 piece of property would pay $92 a year special tax. State and federal funds pick up the rest.

Actually, there’s a net savings, because youngsters who go to Vo Tech don’t go to the public schools, so there are 20 classrooms freed for the traditional schools.

Traditional? Maybe old-

Two weeks ago we out- lined some of the high points of a vocational training school near our home town, of Lapeer in downstate Michigan.

The school is popular with the students and with the public. In this rural county there are 1,OOO students in the 11th and 12th grades. Until seven years ago they all went to their local, con- ventional schools.

For half of these youngsters, the half that didn’t go to college, their high school training didn’t help them much toward getting a job after graduation.

A smattering of know- ledge of ancient history, a couple of years of French, an exposure to Shakespeare and Chaucer, and a little algebra and chemistry didn’t impress prospective employers.

Indeed, a high official of the personnel department of neighboring General Motors in Flint, told me one day:

“Bill, we like to hire people who have a high school diploma,” he said. “But i t doesn’t mean a darn thing as far as training is concerned. It’s just a handy screening device for us. It shows this boy or girl has

“Eagleeye” refers to the eagle’s extraordinarily keen eyesight, which enables some of them to spot a fish from more than a mile away. An unusually high number of “cone cells,” or specialized vision cells , give the eagle’s eye its longdis- tance focusing capability . The extra cells also make the eagle’s eye large in pro- portion to the rest of his body. Some eagles have eyeballs larger than a human’s.

accurate, for I think this vocational type of schooling is the thing of the future, for the youths who are not college prospects, for whatever reason.

What kind of a vocation training program does your own local school have? Does it draw 40 percent of the 11th and 12th graders in the system?

Does it have modern equipment , teaching students to get jobs when they graduate?

Does it offer a wide range of programs? The Lapeer County Vo Tech has 24 different fields of training. In home construction classes, for example, the students build a five-room house and sell it on the commercial market.

Does your traditional school of classroom study have problems of discipline, attendance, vandalism, drugs? Vo Tech in Lapeer County has a student body of serious hard-working youngsters. The bottom line: Last year 87 percent of the graduates got jobs. What is the percentage at your own local school?

cratic red tape and to (develop plans for future economic growth. “THE MESSAGE BE-

fore you recognizes the lirni- tations placed upon us not only by fiscal restraints but also by the need to avoid excessive government,” the governor said during his State of the State address.

“The choices we make will help determine how quickly and completely we rebound from two successive national recessions and how well we cushion our economy against future national economic downturns. I do not mean to say we can solve all of Michigan’s problems this year. But I believe we can make B difference this year, a substantial difference,” Milliken said.

Aides to the governor said his optimism for the future reflects his belief in the state’s potential as a major center for the robotics industry and for high technology development, based on a core of well+stablished institutions and abundant natural resources.

ering automobile industry will probably not regain the dominance it once had, Mil- liken said it will remain Michigan’s key industry into the next century, while agriculture and tourism will continue to thrive.

While economic development is the highest priority, Milliken’s proposals primarily embody last year’s uncompleted agenda.

ALTHOUGH THE FALT-

Michigan faces its most difficult year ever, Gov. William G. Milliken said but added there is no reason to despair if work can be completed on pending economic development proposals.

During his annual State of the State address before a joint convention of the Legis- lature, he said lawmakers can provide for the welfare of future generations through measures such as an environmentaleconomic fund backed by mineral revenues.

Earlier, House Speaker Bobby Crim of Davison, stating that 1982 will probably be his last year in the legislature, said members of the legislature must con- front the fiscal difficulties of Michigan as a challenge “to make our state greater and stronger than ever before, and life more secure for its citizens. ”

Much of the legislative activity in the remainder of the 81st session will be overshadowed by Michi- gan’s economic difficulties, Crim said, but lawmakers must work on some type of property tax reform, make major changes in utilities regulations and complete action on legislation regulat- ing interest rates.

SENATE MAJORITY Leader William Faust of Westland listed economic and job development and working to increase federal aid as top priorities for the new session.

He called for the continued development of a healthy, diversified economy as a means to meet the priority of finding jobs for the 627,000 unemployed workers in Michigan.
